the Mormon church. A lot of things happened during this time period. Because of his bold choice to move the members of the church from Illinois to Utah was one of the greatest things in religious US history. He saved hundreds maybe thousands of Mormons from being murdered just like Joseph Smith in the other men. Almost 80% of the people living in Utah are part of The Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints. There is now three universities named after b Brigham Young. He had done all…

I firmly believe that Americans should have guns, but we need more regulation. People point towards the second amendment, citing it as why the government should not regulate guns. They seem to have forgotten how far along technology has gone. When the second amendment was written, no one could have possibly imagined just how advanced guns would become. We went from muskets to automatic rifles, three shots a minute to thirty. Can we really trust everyone to carry a weapon with them with those…

Overwintering passerines in boreal regions require high metabolic rates in order to maintain a normal body temperature in the more extreme environmental conditions of the north i.e. shorter day length that reduces foraging time (Cooper and Gessman 2005). Small passerine, in particular the Black-Capped Chickadee (Parus atricapillus) henceforth chickadee, which weigh in at around 11g and have a high surface-area to volume ratio lose heat very quickly and must have a higher than normal rate of…

never understood until moving here, where a lot of my Mormon friends didn’t like living in Utah and most of them moved backed to CA. But culturally I see there is a big difference with Utah Mormons and everyone else, especially CA Mormons. The Utah culture is a lot to adjust to, especially being from CA.

There are many things that drivers do that cause crashes and in some cases, death. However, the most surprising fact of crashes to me was that the most deaths in Utah were caused by speeding. I realized that speeding was dangerous but I had no idea that speeding could cause 42% of Utah highway deaths. Speeding is very dangerous and could hurt many people, including yourself. The 2nd highest amount of deaths for teenagers is also for speeding. For teenagers I am not surprised, there are many teen…
