Colony Collapse Disorder

In 2006, beekeepers throughout the United States began to notice something new—and troubling. Adult honeybees, known as worker bees, were disappearing from their hives, seemingly abandoning them. Few or no dead bees were found in the hives, while the queen and larvae were alive and well but without the swarm of worker bees that typically attended them to keep them alive. What had happened?

The phenomenon became so widespread that it soon received a name, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) . There was no denying that CCD was a problem; after all, American agriculture depends on the work of honeybees and other pollinators. At least three-quarters of the crops grown in the United States depend on honeybee pollination for their survival. These include such staples as strawberries, blueberries, apples, broccoli, asparagus, and almonds. Without them, both farmers and anyone who enjoys fresh fruits and vegetables will suffer.

But what is causing this problem? Scientists have rigorously studied a variety of possible causes, ranging from genetically modified crops to climate change to cell phone towers. Sadly, nothing has shown to be the cause of the problem. The most likely culprits are pathogens, or disease-causing organisms. These have been found in larger numbers in colonies affected by CCD than in those unaffected. But these pathogens have included various viruses and bacteria, some found in greater concentrations in different parts of the country. If CCD is caused by a single disease, identifying that disease will be difficult.

The CCD epidemic is most likely the result of multiple causes—pathogens, poor nutrition, pesticides, lack of genetic diversity, and habitat loss. Efforts to prevent colony loss have been mildly successful. The number lost has declined each year since 2008. But until a solution to this problem is found, CCD will remain a concern that will threaten not only the future of bees, but also of the people who rely on the food that they help produce.

Which excerpt from "The Masque of the Red Death" best shows Prince Prospero's self-centeredness?
O It was in the eastern or blue chamber in which stood the Prince Prospero as he uttered these words. They rang
throughout the seven rooms loudly and clearly, for the prince was a bold and robust man, and the music had
become hushed at the waving of his hand.
O It was then, however, that the Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary
cowardice, rushed hurriedly through the six chambers, while none followed him on account of a deadly terror that
had seized upon all.
O When the eyes of the Prince Prospero fell upon this spectral image (which, with a slow and solemn movement, as
if more fully to sustain its role, stalked to and from among the waltzers) he was seen to be convulsed, in the first
moment with a strong shudder either of terror or distaste; but, in the next, his brow reddened with rage.
O But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he
summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his
court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.

both types of conflict contribute to the development of the character? Your answer should be at least one hune

internal conflict is a psychological struggle. an external conflict is a struggle with character and outside force.

External conflict is when there are problems happening outside of the person, while internal is where your emotions and everything you’re feeling is happening on the inside. One example of internal conflict, is Stranger Things’ Eleven. She underwent many types of mental problems such as flashbacks from her father, and scenes of different events that went on. They tortured her mental state. One example of external conflict is Karate Kids’ Daniel Larusso. He was hurt mentally and physically by a group of boys that knew karate. He was scared and had to learn how to defend himself.

What are some examples from Alice in Wonderland of Carroll using direct and indirect characterization to inform the audience about characters other than Alice?

Answers

Answer:

The Alice books mingle human and animal characters with nursery rhyme figures and game pieces come to life. Alice, of course, is an ordinary little girl from Victorian England. At first her encounters with the other characters in Wonderland are with animals – the nervous White Rabbit, the sluggish Caterpillar, the grinning Cheshire Cat, the mad March Hare, and the sleepy Dormouse. These personified animals, each of which seems to derive its main characteristics from our stereotypes about the animal, are then mixed with seemingly human characters like the Hatter and the Duchess. These "human" characters are even more caricatured and strange than their animal peers.

Of course, at the end of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, we discover that many of the characters were actually playing cards come to life. Neither animal nor exactly human, they remind us that the ultimate basis of the story is nothing more than a game. Through the Looking-Glass also mingles human beings like Alice with animals (the Lion and the Unicorn) and game pieces (the various chess pieces, especially the kings and queens) and other seemingly human figures (such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee).
