1. Speak up for nature
“The more conserved land and water we have, the better species will be able to move in response to the changing climate — so let your local and national political representatives know that you take conservation seriously. Whether you’re supporting your favorite national park or a local conservancy, let your voice be heard: Say something when the administration rolls back protections for protected areas such as Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, and cheer when your state fights back by establishing new parks or nature reserves. And when you do speak up for conservation, know that that protected areas are helping to reduce extinctions from climate change.” – Lee Hannah, senior climate change scientist at Conservation International
2. No seriously — make your voice heard
“Conservation starts locally. Your city council, your local government and your state representatives are there to represent you. If there are conservation and environmental issues in your town or state, then attend local government meetings and express your concerns. The voices of the public affect the decisions they make. Find your local or regional organizations that campaign for conservation and support them — whether it is through donations and petitions or through direct conservation activities, such as habitat restoration projects.” — Ian Harrison, freshwater specialist at Conservation International
3. Go off the beaten path
“So many of our decisions have a direct impact on our planet — from what we eat to where we go on vacation. For example: Think about how you travel. Mass tourism is proven to put a lot of pressure on ecologically sensitive areas — such as the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador or Yellowstone National Park in the United States. To avoid crowding and overtaxing these majestic places, try to vacation lighter by avoiding the typical tourism hotspots and by supporting ecotourism programs that employ local communities and prioritize conservation.” – Shyla Raghav, vice president, climate change at Conservation International
5. Be choosy when choosing your food
“The food we eat and the way it’s grown has a major impact on the environment and wildlife. Agriculture is the leading cause of global deforestation, so it’s important to buy and eat local, sustainably produced food as much as possible. When that’s not an option, be smart about the products you’re purchasing. Read the labels and do your homework about the food you eat. For example, many processed foods contain palm oil, which is found in nearly half of all consumer goods on Earth. Always look for the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) logo, which ensures you’re supporting companies committed to a sustainable supply of palm oil.” — Hank Cauley, senior vice president of Conservation International’s Center for Environmental Leadership in Business

They "lurk" in the shadows, "mangling" stars and "gobbling" them up. In short, they have a nasty reputation for being monsters "gone mad." -A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole, Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano

romeo and juliet question!! please help ^^
Answer:
The lines that foreshadow Romeo's tragic end are found in option 4:
O God, I have an ill-diving soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tom
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale!
Explanation:
"Romeo and Juliet" is a famous tragic play by William Shakespeare in which two young lovers die due to the rivalry between their families. At several points in the play, Shakespeare uses foreshadowing to reveal the tragic ends that await the characters. Foreshadowing is a technique in which a piece of information is given to the audience that will later unfold into something important, however trivial it looked at the beginning. The lines above are said by Juliet, and she seems to be aware of her own ability to predict. She looks at Romeo and sees a dead body, which foreshadows his end.
Even the native Alaska Tlingit Indians that live near Juneau have integrated this peculiar mystery into their religious culture. They believe an evil spirit named Kushtaka, a cross between a man and an otter, captures people who have drowned or gotten lost, whisking them away to his realm never to be seen again.
Evil spirits or not, the rate of people reported missing in Alaska is almost twice the national average. While many cases involve runaways or people who return home, Alaska also has the highest percentage of missing people who are never found [source: Tizon].
In 2007, Alaska state troopers added 2,833 missing person notices to their Missing Persons Clearinghouse that maintains all related information [source: Alaska Governor’s Office]. In a state with just over 670,000 residents, that figure averages out to about four in every 1,000 people.
Along with missing persons reports, state troopers oversee search and rescue operations. In 2007, they performed 42 missions related to overdue hikers, 85 related to overdue boaters and 100 related to overdue snow machine operators who were temporarily missing [source: Alaska Governor’s Office]. The Civil Air Service also assists with search and rescue missions, and Alaska’s branch received the most state funding and saved the most lives in 2006 out of all other state branches [source: Civil Air Service].
Why are so many people becoming lost or stranded, sometimes forever, in Alaska? Is a Kushtaka spirit skulking in the wild or is Mother Nature to blame?
What effect do the numbers and statistics have in this piece?
A.
They support the claim that there must be an unexplained force in Alaska that is causing people to go missing.
B.
They are meant to refute the claim that a mystical force is to blame for people who go missing in Alaska.
C.
They are meant to illustrate the supreme efficiency of Alaska’s Civil Air Service.
D.
They establish and support the claim that Alaska has an exceptionally high rate of missing persons.
E.
They support the claim that Alaska is a frightening environment with many unexplained phenomena.

Read the passage describing the famine that struck Ireland in 1740 to 1741.
In 1740–1741 extremely cold temperatures struck vast areas of pre-industrial Europe, causing harvest failures that led to increased prices for staple food, famine, disease, excess mortality and migration. . . . Ireland was probably more vulnerable than most other European countries. Already in the first half of the eighteenth century, Irish food production was based heavily on potatoes and oats – a pattern of cultivation providing little resilience against the risk of harvest failure after an extremely cold winter. . . . Ireland was ill-prepared to deal with the consequences of harvest failure . . .
–The Irish Famine of 1740–1741,
S. Engler, et al.
Based on the passage, which best explains the cause of the famine?
lack of industry in Ireland

Explanation:
Why is monitoring heart rate a common technique to determine exercise intensity?
Answer:
The harder and more intensive your exercise is, there needs to be a proportional amount of oxygen-rich blood circulating to supply your body with the needed oxygen to continue.
Explanation:
As you exercise, you start to use more oxygen because your body is doing more work. As you use your muscles, there is an acid called lactic acid that starts to form on your muscles that causes the burning sensation you feel. The harder your exercise , the more of lactic acid there will be. The oxygen helps to clear out this lactic acid, while still supplying your body with the oxygen it requires to all body parts so they can function properly.
