Colony Collapse Disorder Bees are weird animals. They know how to count to four based on a experiment done at the University of Queensland; they communicate with one another through dancing and pheromones; their fat bodies make them one of the least aerodynamic creatures that have ever left the ground; they can carry one hundred and twenty two times their body weight; and have personalities that have been characterized as anything from “thrill-seekers” to “pessimistic”1‚2.

Explication for “A Diamond Guitar” The final scene of Truman Capote’s “A Diamond Guitar” helps the reader develop a perfect view of how the characters in the story truly are. Mr. Schaeffer‚ a man of 50‚ is in prison because he killed a man‚ and Tico Feo‚ a boy of only 18‚ is there because he cut a sailor’s ear off.

2. Russia ’s involvement in World War 1‚ rather than the revolutionary parties‚ caused the collapse of Tsarism in February 1917. ’ Discuss. Russia ’s involvement in the Great War is accepted as a major factor in the collapse of the Tsarist system but whether it takes precedence in importance over the influence of the revolutionary parties is debateable.
