By Michelle Collier, RCDD. Fiber optic cable provides a low loss medium for high-speed communications.

The blue crab's scientific name, Callinectes sapidus, is from Latin and Greek: calli, beautiful; nectes, swimmer; and sapidus, savory-beautiful, savory swimmer. Like insects, blue crabs have stalked compound eyes and can see in almost every direction at once.
The scientific name is Cycas revoluta, which in Latin identifies the plant as a cycad and describes the revolute nature of the leaflets. Cycads are dioecious, having both male and females. When the sago plants have sexually matured, the female sagos begin to flower producing a basketball-sized structure.
