Desert Biomes Denton4 Deserts are mostly found in the east but a few are also found in the western region of the Americas. They are very hot places with low moisture and barren waste lands. When you think desert what normally jumps into your head is sand cactus and clear skies with the sun beating down on you. The maximum temperature for a desert can climb up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature in winter only drops a few degrees and it receives a small amount of humidity. The average amount of rainfall year round is less than 15 cm. Vegetation is very rare, it’s mostly restricted to ground-hugging shrubs and woody trees. All the leaves are replete. Typical animals include small nocturnal carnivores. There are also insects, arachnids, reptiles, and birds. In American deserts is the barrel cactus. The barrel cactus is easily distinguished from other cacti because of its cylinder-shaped body. It is one of the largest cacti in North America reaching a staggering eleven feet tall. Running down the spines are 3-4 inch spines and on top are rings of yellow-green or red blossoms. Native Americans used to boil them into cabbage-like stews. They would also grind up the pulp and extract the water. Another plant native to deserts is the brittle bush. IT is a small deciduous shrub which grows as a low roundish mound 2-5 ft high. The branches sprout from woody trunks. On the branches are leaves about 1-4 inches long that are covered in a thick mat of short hairs. They…
1969 was a year with a distinct economic, social, political, and intellectual atmosphere. After the end of World War II in 1945, the US experienced great economic prosperity lasting until the 1970s where sound employment could be obtained relatively easily for both skilled and unskilled work. The affluence this created also caused a baby boom where birth rates temporarily increased, and in 1969, many of those born in the baby boom now made up 8 million young adults going though college. This…
When most guys join the seduction community, they are on a mission to improve their dating skills with women. Unfortunately, there "side effects" to joining the community that most of the gurus don't tell you about in the fine print. While most guys join with the seduction community sincere desire to improve their social skills, the fact of the matter is there is a very strong correlation between joining the seduction community, and adopting weird behaviors. I'm going to talk about some of the…
Another point I agree with about reserves lands is keeping them in trust without the notion of taxes. The western ideologies of paying taxes towards governments for lands that were stolen is just ludicrous to me personally. If lands were never taken, governments never imposed control, then these individuals would not only be living off the land free of cost of ‘taxes’, but flourishing while doing so. Overall, by reading these two papers it was evident that at this time of 1969-1972 awareness was…
in the 1960’s and became an icon for an entire music genre as well as for that decade. As they gained immense fame as one of the greatest bands of all time, it was easy to forget they are people too. They may have been musicians, but this did not stop them from expressing themselves, and showing that they are humans like everyone else through the photography of two of their album covers. The two album covers are also probably some of the most recognizable covers of all time and are titled, “Sgt.…
I believe that the last candidate interviewed should be the one that is hired. This decision is based upon my evaluation on several factors. First, the urgency of the position that needs to be filled. This position is an integral part of the organization and should be filled post haste. Second, the professional and business like quality of the candidate in question. The candidate in question presented a level of professionality that seemed fit for the position. However, her make-up seemed to be…

the album is based off of visuals in your head as of what is going on in the song, or how the story is being played out. The concert is about giving the fans a show, but artist also let fans join in on the songs while they sing it just to see how many people actually listen to the music that they have been putting out. You could anticipate similarities and differences when comparing an album and a concert, but would you really know how much would change or what would sound different in an arena…
Her album Taylor Swift is country whereas 1989 is mainstream pop. The country style approach that Swift uses on her first album depicts feelings of sadness and evokes a lot of emotion. She uses many acoustic tones which dispenses a certain vibe from her music. The tones that can be heard are softer and not as solid compared to her new style of music. The audience can hear the lack of self-confidence just by the sounds of the chords and the tempo of the music in the majority of the songs featured…
