Keystone

September 29, 2015 Biology 101-18598 Krista Hahn Keystone Species Keystone species is a species that is very impactful within its ecosystem. A keystone species can be a plant or an animal that has a very specific job ecologically. If there were no keystone species, our world would be a completely different place, or maybe would not exist. All species depend on each other, but the benefits of keystone species are much greater than any other species. If a keystone species would disappear, it would…

To Build; Keystone XL Pipeline Essay Against all odds, Mario the character from Super Mario Bros can transport to great distances (and even worlds) instantly through pipelines without any negative impacts. Now looking back at reality, imagine a pipeline transporting oil from Canada to the United States but with many negative impacts. Coincidentally, there is a proposed 1,179 mile and 36-inch diameter pipeline which will bring crude oil from Alberta to the Gulf Coast, known as the Keystone XL…

message implied therein was Malcolm had better work his tail off at Keystone or he would be cleaning up after the camels at Broadview. Malcolm was rumored to be thicker than the skin on a pachyderm's fanny, but he was a doctor, and as such, theoretically capable of taking a hint. Speaking no foreign languages and English only poorly, Malcolm had no desire to do his residency at Broadview. Taking Dr. Brown's advice, he worked his tail off from the very first day on the job. In addition, he made…

Introduction The Keystone Pipeline was a proposed idea of a pipeline that would run from the oil sands of Canada to Steele City, Nebraska (“Keystone” 1). It would then connect with an existing pipeline that would administer it elsewhere. Since the proposal was for an oil pipeline that would cross international borders, it needed the President’s approval. The idea became such a controversial topic when President Obama stated that six days to decide the fate of this project was not a sufficient…

After evaluating both the environmental impacts of the Keystone XL Pipeline as well as the economic benefits it would ensure, our group opposes its completion. As previously mentioned, although the pipeline would allow Canada to achieve economic success and provide energy security for the United States, these benefits do not outweigh the costs. According to Dr. Jerald L. Schnoor, a distinguished professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Iowa, the EPA has been…

The Keystone XL Pipeline affects much more than just the oil industry. Many groups fear that the Pipeline would cause the United States to increase its dependence on foreign oil. In addition to the numerous environmental concerns, such as oil spills and water contamination, there is concern about the “current eminent domain laws and federal and state regulations will manage the pipeline’s construction.” In January of 2014, the United States Department of the State issued an executive summary…

particularly in Nebraska, where the pipeline would elapse over an aquifer that provides drinking water and irrigation to much of the Midwest. Keystone XL threatens extensive underground supplies that once contaminated, cannot be cleaned. There’s no place for toxic oil can go “away” to once it enters an aquifer. Sadly, that is just one of the immense environmental threats Keystone Xl poses. Oil extracted from tar sands are thicker, more acidic, and more corrosive than conventional crude.…

In January 2011, 19 orthopedists affiliated with six independent orthopaedic practices in Berks County merged to form Keystone. Orthopaedic Associates was one of those practices. There were five others as well. In the Federal Register, the FTC calls each of those five practices "Keystone component practices." Each of them became divisions of Keystone after the merger. Prior to the merger, orthopaedic competition in Berks County was robust. Prior to the merger, there were 25 orthopods in 11…

Opening: Well here it is, the end of my high school year. As I think about it, my last month here at Keystone, I have so many memories and immense gratitude for the people in my life who helped me along the way. I learned many lessons, not only in the classroom, but in life as well. 1.Great Memory: I have so many great memories about Keystone, but the ones that stand out to me the most were the musicals these past two years. From jamming out with Alyssa on our rides there, to dancing…

Wolves are a keystone predators, they help maintain a balance in the ecosystem. They do this by hunting the weak in herds of hooved animals. Some of the animals they hunt include deer, elk, moose, and caribou, as well as beavers and rabbits. They have adapted to eating large prey. The wolves also help the herds become healthy because by eliminating the weak, they are also eliminating disease to be spread amongst the herds helping them become strong as well. When hunting, they hunt in packs of…
