    Wealthy noble families began to gain extreme power as foolish and corrupt emperors led to a decrease in the government’s power. Wang Mang, a reformist official, took the Han court’s power and attempted to establish the Xin dynasty. However, he was killed before he could actually carry out the reforms he had planned. After his death, a strong leadership was established for some time. During this time, the court tried to redistribute land to the free farmers who had been forced to become tenants; and they also tried to decrease land taxes. Also, food production increased. But unease among the peasants continued due to weak and corrupt rules and the wealthy’s power over the land. Nomadic raids by the Xiongnu…

    Hawaii is home of many native animals which consist of mainly birds, insects, and marine animals that can only be found on the island due to its location and isolation from other continents. Some of these native animals are very unique and plays an important role into Hawaii’s ecosystem; however, their numbers are continuously decreasing because of different changes to the environment like the action of introducing non-native animals to Hawaii, the use of toxic materials in the environment, and also continuous mechanization and industrialization. A group of animal that makes up the native animal population in Hawaii that has been experiencing endangerment falls in the phylum of birds and one of the many species belonging to this phylum is the…

    During the Fall months, don’t allow the monsoons to lessen the beauty of this state because in reality, it is one of a very few natural disasters that occur in Arizona and has a survival rate of 99%. In addition, Arizona experiences some of the most beautiful winters during the months of November through March and once in a while mother nature will display her beauty by snowing in places one would never expect. If appreciated, the cold air mixed with the rays of sun can offer breath taking views of the endless blue skies above our desert landscapes or deep within the Grand Canyon groves. Opposite of this are Hawaii’s green, plush, fertile mountains and plains but deep beneath that beauty also lie’s constant rain, humidity and unpredictable hurricanes, floods and tsunami that offer a lower 94% survival rate. Hawaii averages approximately seventy to eighty-five degrees’ year around with a constant humidity level of a torturous 80%. Summers have been known to reach 90% humidity which makes for a very uncomfortable day, especially considering there are no air-conditioned homes in Hawaii. Furthermore, insects thrive on humidity throughout Hawaii and on any given day you may encounter a centipede, cane spider, cockroaches and many other bugs that are unpleasant. As if that isn’t enough, when the tides are high due to changes in the weather pattern’s jelly fish become the enemy in the ocean and if encountered it can be detrimental to human health and safety. Whether anyone enjoys the dry land or the waters in either state, I still believe Arizona is the safer place to live. In conclusion, although Hawaii is paradise and a splendid place to visit, the cost of living, the level of education and whether conditions should have anyone reconsidering a move to Hawaii any time soon. One should take advantage of the outstanding education offered to our…

    Africanized honeybees are commonly called killer bees. They are native to Europe and Africa and Asia. They are a mixture between Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis mellifera iberiensis. The Africanized honey bees in the Western Hemisphere are descended from queen bees (A. m. scutellata) accidentally released by a bee-keeper in 1957 near Rio Claro, São Paulo in from the southern part of Africa (Collet 2011). They were brought to southern Brazil, and have spread as far south as Northern Argentina, and northward throughout South and Central America, and Mexico. They entered the United States in southern Texas in 1990, Arizona and New Mexico in 1993, and California in 1994(Ellis 2009). There found mostly in Texas that you would find them, but you can also find them in Trinidad, Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Orleans (Ellis 2009). In 2009 Africanized honeybees were found in the south of Utah (Ellis 2009). Africanized honeybees don’t really get that big they are about ¾ of an inch in length and they are covered in fuzz (Kaplan 2004). The honey bees are found in Europe and Africa. The spread rate is about 200 miles a year (Ojar, 2002). Africanized honeybees will attack even when you’re not provoking them and they become large numbers very quickly. (Ojar, 2002).…

    “Race Without Color”

    Diamond goes on to explain how confusion may come up in classifications. In the human race, people in different races are visibly different. This also holds true in the animal world. He gives the example of a common bird, the yellow-rumped warbler. The bird’s throat color in the west is yellow and in the east is white. They have different songs and environmental preferences yet have the same name. Racial classification for these two birds is simple; the color of their throat, song, and their environment. However, their differences in these areas lead to different varied offspring. Some traits in animals alternate because of natural selection. Natural selection has to do with the survival in a particular environment. For example the hare who is white to blend in with snow so that it is invisible to predators.…
