...The coniferous forest is located in Canada, Europe, Asia, and the United States. The temperature ranges from -40 Celsius to 20 Celsius. Average summer temperature is 10 Celsius. Yearly precipitation varies from 30 to 90 centimeters per year. Coniferous forest regions have cold, long, snowy winters, and warm, humid summers. They have well-defined seasons, and at least four to six frost-free months. There are two types of Coniferous forests: 1. Open, lichen woodland, which has trees, spaced far apart with lichen growing between them. 2. Closed forests, which have trees very close together and a shaded, moss-covered forest floor. The major aquatic zones of the coniferous forest are marine, freshwater, and brackish. The average salinity of marine is 3%, freshwater 1% or less, and brackish mixture of salt and fresh. Clear-cut logging is the biggest threat to the Coniferous forest. Replanting after logging leads to single-species conifer monocultures. Clear cutting accelerates soil erosion, degrades wildlife habitat and leads to the loss of biodiversity. The land is being cleared for ski slopes, landfills, housing, and new roads. In Canada, one acre of forest is cut every 12.9 seconds! Mining operations is another threat to the Coniferous forests because of the chemicals used in mining and the silt released by mining. Road construction destroys the forest and also acts as a barrier to wildlife. Roads isolate populations of species from feeding grounds, natural migration routes and...

...HELP MILLER HIGH-LIFE SAVE AMERICA’S EAGLES (1986) English 112 – Composition Due 7/23/12 What do Freedom, Liberty and Independence mean to Americans? That’s all the bald eagle represents for the United States, as it was accepted as the National Bird in 1782. In 1986, Miller High-Life used the bald eagle in an ad; an ad that displays an eagle soaring through the sky freely. There’s an article on the ad stating, “Our national symbol faces extinction and to look for Miller High-Life products at our favorite retail store during the Fourth of July holiday and find out to help Miller keep our magnificent eagles soaring forever.” Miller High-Life products also stand over their slogan which reads “Made the American Way”. With patriotism in mind, the ad uses Ethos, Pathos and Logos to reach out to the American public and together they can save the eagles. The author clearly displays ethos in the ad “Help Miller High-Life Save America’s Eagles” by the authority eagles have in the sky. Being that eagles really don’t have any predators other than man, we can save their species by coming together. Credibility is displayed in the ad because the bald eagle represents the United States as the national symbol. Using the products slogan “Made the American Way” and “Our National Symbol Faces Extinction” emphasizes the authority and credibility America portrays. Pathos is clearly displayed by informing the American public that the national symbol faces extinction. Hoping to get...

...leucophelaus, commonly known as the American Bald Eagle, is the only eagle that is indigenous to North America. This majestic bird of prey, the emblem of our county, was once on the brink of extinction despite its lack of natural predators. The bald eagle is one of the few species that has been removed from the Endangered Species list due to successful recovery efforts. Within the temperate deciduous forest of United States, the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge is home to the largest population of breeding bald eagles north of Florida (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service , n.d.). Identification Despite the distinct markings of the mature bald eagle, identification between male and female can be difficult. Immature bald eagles can be even more difficult to identify as they do not have the distinct white head that the adult eagles do. Another factor that can make identification of young eagles challenging in the area of observation is the similarities to the Golden Eagle that, while not as prevalent, also reside in the biome. (Clark, 1983). Mature Adults Mature adult bald eagles have distinct white plumage on their head and tail. The bill, legs and feet are bright yellow while the body and wings are dark brown. Female bald eagles are larger than males, with wider wingspans of 6 ½ to 7 feet versus 6 to 6 ½ feet in males and weigh 10-14 pounds versus 8-10 pounds in males. (Seattle Audubon Society, n.d.). Immature Bald Eagles Immature bald eagles plumage are uniformly medium...

...In 732 Charles Martel defeated a Muslim force in a battle which became known as The Battle of Poitiers. This battle halted the Muslim expansion into Europe and set the tone for Christian expansion. By defeating the Muslims Charles Martel gained the churches favor for himself and the Carolingians alike. Charles and his son, Pippin III, further gained the churches favor by supporting Christian missionaries. By gaining the churches favor this later set the ground work for Pippin to be crowned King. Pippin most likely realized that the church was a valuable ally and found ways to help the church, which in turn helped him greatly. He helped the church out against the Lombards twice. The first time around he was crowned King, the second time he was anointed, which was reserved for priests and bishops. This made him very powerful because to go against him now also meant you were going against the church, which held the greatest amount of power at the time. This all set the ground work for his successors, such as Charlemagne. Charlemagne’s forces spread through Europe like a wild fire in the name of spreading Christianity. Charlemagne was successful in unifying most of Northwestern Europe. He didn’t rule it all per say, he appointed counts to govern counties. These counts handled the day to day governance of their patch of land. It was their job to publish royal orders, hold court proceedings, collected taxes/tolls, supervised maintenance of bridges and roads, and also raised troops for...

...Guide to Guys (1995), the introduction of which is included here. Despite its title, "Guys vs. Men" is not a comparative study of these two basic types of males. Men and manhood have been written about far too much already, says Barry. But guys and guyhood are neglected topics, and even though he "can't define exactly what it means to be a guy," Barry's essay lays out "certain guy characteristics" that distinguish his quarry from other warm-blooded animals in the field. This is a book about guys. It's not a book about men. There are already way too many books about men, and most of them are way too serious. Men itself is a serious word, not to mention manhood and manly. Such words make being male sound like a very important activity, as opposed to what it primarily consists of, namely, possessing a set of minor and frequently unreliable organs. But men tend to attach great significance to Manhood. This results in certain characteristically masculine, by which I mean stupid, behavioral patterns that can produce unfortunate results such as violent crime, war, spitting, and ice hockey. These things have given males a bad name. And the "Men's Movement," which is supposed to bring out the more positive aspects of Manliness, seems to be densely populated with loons and goobers. So I'm saying that there's another way to look at males: not as aggressive macho dominators; not as sensitive, liberated, hugging drummers; but as guys. And what, exactly, do I mean by "guys"? I don't...

...My reason for thinking this is that unlike athletes in other sports who only have to prepare and take care of themselves and their equipment, a rodeo athlete has to ensure that himself, his equipment, and his horses are all in good working condition to be a true winner. Normally when a guy loses at a rodeo it is because he hasn’t spent the time in the practice pen that is needed for winning or his equipment failed him from lack of upkeep, but a true winner comes prepared for the day of battle and never loses but only gets beat from time to...

...really in love and care about the other. No one wants to tell their significant other something important and for the other not to listen or remember. It is like a waste of breathe telling someone something so important to you and them not to even care. That is why most couples who are falling in love tend to actually listen to each other’s personal life. They like finding out what they like and what they don’t like, because what if the guy buys a beautiful bouquet of red roses but didn’t know that the girl’s favorite flowers are sunflowers. To the girl that is turn off because she would have rather appreciated receiving her favorite flower other than the red roses. It is important to know what their favorite things are because that shows they are seriously interested in them and not just another person in their lives. In You Just Don’t Understand by Deborah Tannen is about the different ways that men and women communicate with each other and the certain things men don’t find important like “gossip” (97).
