...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 to dark...

...In Boy Scouts, when a scout is attempting to earn the Eagle Scout rank, he must organize and carryout a community service project. Our Savior Lutheran Church, in Valentine, NE, had a badly shaped lawn which redirected rainwater and sprinkler water into the church basement instead of the road, where the water was supposed to go. For my Eagle Scout project, I decided to remedy this problem. The first step was to get permission to conduct the project from the church council. I attended a meeting and asked for and received permission. Next, I had to approve the project with the Boy Scouts so I could use it for my Eagle rank. I had to contact a district representative to approve the project. To conduct the project, I needed equipment, volunteers,...

...«The Wedge-tailed eagle», G.Dutton. Analysis by A. Romanov The text under interpretation belongs to the pen of the prominent Australian author and historian - Geoffrey Dutton. During his career, Dutton wrote over 200 books, including poetry, fiction, biographies, critical essays etc. The episode under analysis is taken out from a short story «The wedge-tailed eagle» which contains a very deep social and psychological message and the subject of which is unfortunately drawn from life. In the story which begins so peacefully and signifies no threaten the author exposes the evils of the whole society and in two pilots reveals all cruelty that can only exist in our world. Geoffrey Dutton brings to the light one day from the life of these pilots and depicts the event that makes the reader cry – the killing of one of the most gorgeous and powerful bird - wedge-tailed eagle. The main idea of the story is to demonstrate people`s shallowness, cruelty and a constant desire to satisfy their wishes no matter how high the price for it is. If a person like one of these two pilots wants something nothing would be able to stop him, even if the desire is unmoral and sinful and even if it ends with death of creatures that can`t protect itself against our savageness and violence. The tone of the text is different at the beginning of the extract and at the end of it. Firstly we are completely plunged in the elevated atmosphere, where in small details the depiction of sky and nature is magnificent...

...Para entender lo que es un mensaje subliminal, primero debemos saber que los procesos mentales se dividen en dos áreas: Consciente y subconsciente. El consciente es la mente racional, lo que cuestiona y analiza. El consciente procesa solo ciertos rasgos visuales, auditivos, de tacto, tacto y olfato. El subconsciente procesa la totalidad de los estímulos restantes. Un mensaje subliminal es una señal o mensaje diseñado para pasar por debajo de los niveles normales de la percepción humana. Por tal razón son estímulos que no alcanzan la representación consciente por falta de atención o por su corta duración. Son imágenes o sonidos que al transmitirse entran directamente al subconsciente sin que el consciente lo capte al momento. Los mensajes subliminales no son un concepto nuevo o de moda. Desde la antigüedad los filósofos griegos comenzaron a hacer mención de las percepciones subliminares. Los primeros registros datan de 2,250 años. En los escritos de Demócrito el mencionaba que no somos capaces de percibir mucho de lo perceptible. Platón también lo menciona en su escrito “Timeo”. En su escrito “Parva Naturalia”, Aristóteles, menciona como los estímulos no percibidos pueden afectar los sueños. El explicó que durante el día si los estímulos que recibimos no son lo suficientemente fuertes y poderosos pasan inadvertidos. Durante el día, mientras estamos despiertos, estamos expuestos a fuertes impulsos y estímulos. En la noche, cuando dormimos, todos esos estímulos...

...Hotel” is a song produced by the Eagles, in the 1970's. Similar to many other songs and articles, “California Hotel” talks about the lifestyle these artists encountered after settling in California. To many people, living in California was a dream. In “Golden State, Golden Youth” Kirse Granat May states,“To those who followed the rush to gold, California remained unique: a place to regain health, live on the frontier, build a railroad, exploit agricultural possibilities, discover oil, or make fortunes in real estate. For newcomers, it was still the land of the second chance, glowing with opportunity amidst sunshine.” The Eagles were a band that moved to california to pursue their dreams, just like millions of people across the world. These artists heard many rumors about the endless money, women, and fame thats awaiting for them in the golden state, so they took their chances. Unlike many people which moved to california, their dreams of money and fame came true. But what they didn't know is that everything comes with a price. The lifestyle that came with that much fame and money, was a life style that had no true love, only meaningless sex, drug abuse, and an unethical life. After these artists discovered the true life of a Californian star, they wished they have never came; they tried to escape the life they were living but it was too late and they couldn't. The introduction of this song was very detailed and I think self explanatory. The Eagles try to make us visualize their...
