Afamily vocal group known for its talent and durability, the Bee Gees enjoyed a long, colorful career before disbanding in 2003. Initially finding success during the mid- to late 1960s as a pop outfit inspired by rock pioneers the Beatles, the group recorded in a soulful ballad style before switching in the mid-1970s to R&B-influenced dance music, becoming a leading force behind the era's disco phenomenon. Although the Bee Gees were no longer a hit-making force by the early 1980s, they remained dedicated
Humanity has coveted and worshipped immortality for centuries. Living forever has fascinated and horrified many, especially authors, for just as long. Dracula, by Bram Stoker, is the classic representation of immortality. The horror novel depicts the curse immortality was feared to be, showing vampires as an object to be feared and loathed. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V. E. Schwab is a more recent representation. Addie is forgotten instead of being feared, illustrating immortality as a bittersweet
All aspects of 4-H help to better our nation's youth through leadership and responsibility-building opportunities and provide youth with personal development opportunities through livestock contests, public speaking competitions, and more. 4-H is the largest youth development program in the country, consisting of over six million youth. (S1 "4-H." - Positive Youth Development and Mentoring Organization. N.p., n.d. Web. 21 Oct. 2015.) 4-H values volunteerism, personal leadership, and responsibility
This whole adventure started at a Goodwill. I was out with my dad killing time looking for deals on camping equipment. My dad is the type that likes to know what he has to work with. He is a tall skinny man with red hair that is starting to fade. I am of similar build with brown hair. We both enjoy messing around with computers and building things. I saw an mindflex for $10 very cheap for a device that measured brain waves. I saw a awesome opportunity. “Dad will you please buy me this Mindflex
At the current time of day, the Earth has seen billions upon billions of people enter and leave it. While most are completely forgotten, the historians and victors of war have seen several people worthy of being noted. Many people, myself included, have wanted to live a day as a famous person, simply to see what their lives were like in their day-to-day experiences. For myself, I would love to live a day as the first Roman Emperor, Augustus Caesar. If I could live a day in the life of Augustus Caesar
1-a. History 4-H, the name of the largest youth development organization in the United States, is a term that means the four concepts of a clear “head” (clearer thinking), a true “heart” (greater loyalty), willing “hands” (larger service), and joyous “health” (better living). These concepts compose a green four-leaf clover of the 4-H emblem, representing intellectual development, moral development, development of a hardworking spirit, and physical development. That is, 4-H indicates the overall development
“I pledge my head to clearer thinking, My heart to greater loyalty, My hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world.” The 4H Pledge is a saying that I only recently became familiar with, but very quickly memorized. Growing up, I had heard a lot of talk about 4H -especially 4H camp- but had only really known it as an organization that likes to talk about livestock and agriculture, which I decided was not for me and I put it out of my
Dandelions are plants that are viewed as malevolent to society and people make it a constant struggle to eliminate them from yards. This idea of the dandelion is contradicted in the poem “Dandelion” by Julie Lechevsky. The speaker of the poem addresses the stereotype of the monstrous plant at the beginning of the poem, but by the end of the poem, the dandelion is seen as a symbol of strength and order. Bold poetic devices are applied in this poem to reveal the speaker’s views on dandelions and also
There are many poems about nature and compare nature and animals. These poems have many meanings and show how nature is connected year round. In the poem “On the Grasshopper and the Cricket” by John Keats, it describes how nature never stops making noise, and there is an animal that always makes sounds no matter what time of the year. The first outstand thing about this poem is the title, unlike many poems that just have the first line as the title, in this poem, the poet gives a title to clearly
October 19, 2016 The Cuckoo bee Pollinators are very important in today`s world. Plants wouldn’t grow as wonderfully as they do without them. The white house said pollinators contribute more than twenty four billion dollars to the United States. Pollinators also help in the production of seventy five percent of crops and eighty percent of flowers. (Xerces Society) The cuckoo bee is not pollinating on purpose. That’s not what it does for a living. The cuckoo bee is a predator. It lays its eggs
hides their identity, not allowing those around them to see through their facade. In the novel Little Bee by Chris Cleave, the mystery of Little Bees identity is investigated within the novel and the knowledge gained through the mystery shows the meaning of her identity. Little Bee, an illegal refugee from Nigeria, comes to London in search of Andrew, the man who witnessed her sister's death. Little Bee encounters Sarah, Andrews wife, and their son Charlie, who are grieving over the loss of Andrew. The
What is the relationship between a bee and a flower? Bees and flowers have a very mutualistic relationship where the two different species both work and depend on one another, each benefiting from the relationship. For example, while bees fly from flower to flower gathering nectar, which they then produce into food, it benefits the bees. When they land in a flower, the bees catch pollen on their hairy bodies from which when they land onto the next flower, the pollen rubs off, pollinating the plant
back and forth from their hives. They pollinate a plethora of flowers and produce great amounts of honey. Many people do not realize what bees do for them and their communities. Without bees, people would not have any fresh flowers or produce. The bee population helps provide growth to one-third of the food in the world (Haltiwanger). Without bees, there would not be as much food for humans to survive. Even though we need bees to survive many people go on with their day not ever thinking of what
Flowers that are visited more often by bees will produce larger and more uniform fruit than those visited less often. They are attracted by the scent and the bright colors of the flowers. The most important things that bee’s do is pollinating. When a bee collects nectar and pollen from the flower of a plant, some pollen from the stamens gets stuck on the hairs of the bees and gets dropped on a feminine plant, fertilization is allowed to happen if the fruit has seeds its able to grow. Millions of bees
The first thought that comes to mind when someone mentions bees: summertime nuisances and painful bee stings. It is what bees are famous for, but their impact on society is so much bigger than that. Pollination from bees is vital to creating a large number of the foods people eat. Honeybee honey has many healing properties, and a large number of medicines across the globe use it. The use of pesticides and the destruction of their natural habitats are killing bees, despite these being fairly solvable
experiencing could be up to 1,000 to 10,000 losses per year. these losses do not only include wild animals or mammals that are constantly haunted , but also small pollinators such as bees. the bee decline is a an issue that is currently affecting most of North America and many countries in Europe , but the number of bee colonies are increasing in China . But if this issue is not solve as soon as possible , and the decline increases it will eventually become a worldwide issue. therefore , let 's dicuss
Cane toads are an invasive species in Australia with a range of significant impacts on the Australian environment. They were introduced to Australia from Hawaii during 1935, and their population has since grown to approximately 200million, despite multiple attempts at controlling the growth. They primarily inhabit Queensland, New South Wales and Northern Territory. Adult cane toads are usually heavy-built and weigh an average of 1.8kg, with warty skin (wikipedia.org, 2015). They pose a risk to many
hundred million years ago and all the points made in the reading passage are not convincing. First of all, the author of the reading passage suggests that though people found some fossils which looks like bee nests, no actual bees were found. In contrast, the professor in the listening argues that no bee remains does not mean bees did not exist two hundred million years ago. Bees might not be preserved at that time since animals needed a kind of sticky
preferred habitat is in higher altitudes in the Northern hemisphere. They live in colonies of 50-500 underground with limited light. Their diet consists of eating pollen and drinking nectar. There is no need for a bee to hibernate as their life span is only 28 days long. They mate with the queen’s bee and she will later give birth to the multiple larvae. I have chosen to look at an Angler Fish’s Gas Exchange System. Their preferred habitat is the deeper depths of the sea (3,000 feet).They are predators
to severely suffer. The Bumble Bee decline is growing day by day, and there is so much irreversible destruction that can happen from that loss. It is important as a human race to understand and learn to help before they are gone permanently. To understand fully how to help the Bees, you should know why the Bees are declining. In the past couple of years the Bee decline has been growing daily, with the most shocking amount of bee
