Arizona SnowBowl
“A typical Ski season at the Arizona Snow-Bowl last from December to Easter” (Arizona SnowBowl Upgrade proposed Action, September 2002, p.2). The Arizona Snow-Bowl, which is located in the San Francisco Peaks, seven miles outside of Flagstaff, Arizona was only open four days last year! Alarming? Yes, this is why the Arizona Snow bowl has released a full proof plan, which consists of making their own snow!
Thanks to Wayne Pierce, the inventor of the snowmaking machine, Arizona Snowbowl has offered a proposal to remodel their ski resort. which includes the installation of Snow-making machines. The remodeling also includes the building of one new chair lift, the addition of new ski runs, maintenance work on three existing chair lifts, lighting for night time skiing, the creation of a half pipe, the addition of a snow play area for families, the improvement of service facilities/infrastructure, and a cultural center for native Americans. If it were not for Wayne Pierce and his great invention, the Arizona SnowBowl would not even be able to consider these improvements. The improvements would not be plausible without a consistent ski season, which a snow machine can deliver.
With all the advantages that a snow machine could bring to Northern Arizona, there are some people who do not want to see the Arizona SnowBowl join the ninety-one percent of ski areas who make their own snow on National Forest land (Murray, p.3). These people have raised great controversy in Northern Arizona because they would like to see the mountain stay as pristine as possible. The only problem with their point of view is that there are more advantages than disadvantages to installing snow machines.
The biggest advantage ...

...None of the renovations being made will take place outside of the Arizona SnowBowl boundaries. Also, the Arizona SnowBowl boundaries only take up “….4 of one percent of the total acreage of the Peaks” (Frederick, p. 2). The only things the renovations will do are improve the ski area itself.
The Arizona SnowBowl is one of the few ski resorts in the west that does not make artificial snow. If the Arizona SnowBowl were to make their own snow the positives would far exceed the negatives. The positives that would occur would be an economic increase to the Flagstaff area. Also, the customer satisfaction at the ski resort would go up significantly. The Arizona SnowBowl would not expand its boundaries, thus the peaks would not be negatively impacted. If snow could be made on the mountain Flagstaff would become a resort town and attract a wider range of snow users.
It was formed when the North American plate collided with the heavier Pacific plate, which caused the North American plate to fold and move upwards forming a series of the youngest mountains in Canada now known as the Western Cordillera region. The Western Cordillera mountains were discovered by a man named Franz Wilhelmsen about 50 years ago, and were going to be used for the winter olympic games but was later turned into a ski resort called Whistler Blackcomb. This very famous ski resort has a variety of activities that people of all ages enjoy doing such as skiing, snowshoeing, heli skiing, dog sledding, ziplining, etc. The best times to visit Whistler Blackcomb are from mid November to late January. During this “prime time” Whistler is very busy with people because of the winter holidays. Another great time to visit is from April to May. This is the “celebration of spring” and many competitions, games and concerts are held at this time. For dinner, the resort offers a variety of different restaurants. Mountain dining and tasting tours are just a few of the many. Private skiing lessons and kids camps are also available at this attraction. Whistler Blackcomb is a great place to go all year long because of the many activities it offers, and how it's known
In order to find the benefits and hazards of mountaintop removal mining in West Virginia, I used the various resources and gathered information from both sides of the questions posed, including economical benefits such as earnings, and environmental hazards such as ongoing experiments to clean up acid mine drainage. And some opinions written and expressed in newspaper articles and magazines.
In William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Benvolio and Tybalt are portrayed as characters with distinctly opposing personalities that is apparent in many different instances throughout the play. Romeo's best friend, Benvolio is depicted as the classic nice guy, incorporating all the personalities necessary to be one. He is calm, patient, an advocate of peace between the two rival families, and always viewing the cup as half full instead of half empty. During the first quarrel between the Montagues and the Capulets in the play, Benvolio tries to bring peace by saying " I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword, / Or manage it to part these men with me " ( , , 62-63). It is apparent that Benvolio has good intentions and that he favours peace over mutiny. In addition, his control over himself allows him to carefully analyze the situation. Shakespeare intended for him to be the typical protagonist that tries to save everyone from a crisis, where in this case the crisis is a civil battle between two noble households. Furthermore, Benvolio has the ability to empathize with people and understand their feelings. Proof of this is shown when Lady Montague questions Romeo's missing to which he responds with "So early walking did I see your son;/ Towards him I made, but he was 'ware of me/ And stole into the covert of the wood; / I, measuring his affections by my own,/ Which then most sought where most might not be found,/ Being one too many by my weary self,/ Pursued my humor not pursuing his, /And gladly shunned who gladly fled from me. ( , , 117-124). Benvolio was able to figure out that something was wrong with Romeo, and that he wanted to be alone, and so Benvolio responded with just leaving him alone. He shows all the ch...
But not for the positive aspects, no, the negative ones. For instance, not only does Benvolio look good being a peaceful character, yet when it comes to the quote “Away to Heaven, respective lenity,/and fire-eyed fury be my conduct now,”” (3.1). It is apparent how strong Romeo’s reaction is. Yet Benvolio did not have the same. And instead shows how angry or quick to one Romeo is. He also does this in the city scene, where the Montagues run into the Capulets. Benvolio is quick to mention no fighting in public, yet Romeo doesn’t seem to care or pay any notice to him. (3.1). Benvolio obeyed the headings of the prince, Romeo however ignores
First, Collins uses hyperbole by repeating the word “snow” five times in one sentence: “Chicago’s snowfall was so huge that the news media ran out of things to attach to “snow” - thundersnow! snowpocalypse! snowmageddon!” (Collins). She consecutively uses three portmanteaus of the word "snow" with increasing stress level to create strong feelings. She wants to emphasize that Chicago is experiencing the most massive snowstorm in the United States, one of the consequences of global warming. This is a circumstance that causes people panic. She then reminds the readers about the blizzard of 1979 which made Mayor Michael Bilandic get “kicked out of office six weeks later in the Democratic primary.” It seems that she wants to make a connection between the congressman and a snow job.

When Mercutio,Tybalt, and Romeo were about to fight Benvolio said “Either withdraw unto some private place,and reason coldly of your grievances, or else depart,” (III.i.22-24). Benvolio is telling all of them to either find a more private place where the whole town is not watch or get over there differences and let it be and just leave. Even though Benvolio’s advice isn't always taken he always has a solution to the problem that others do not think of. Benvolio does not have to do that but does anyways. It’s a very honorable thing of Benvolio to do. Benvolio also gives advice to Romeo about Rosaline the girl he was in love with or so he thought. “Go thither, and with unattainted eye, compare her face with some that I shall show,”(I.i.87-88). Benvolio does this to get Romeo out there and help him get over Rosaline. If it wasn't for Benvolio telling him to go out there he may have never met Juliet to begin with.
...e subject that's being discussed. Super reasonable communication is unemotional and there is a strong need for controlling of themselves and others. This is also known as the ‘know it all and make others feel incompetent’ style of communication. The fifth communication pattern is congruent communication. A person who communicates congruently shares their thoughts and emotions about themselves without projecting them onto others and avoids manipulation (Caflisch, n.d.). What is important here is that congruent communication allows for the development of self worth and this is the ultimate goal of the growth model.

Thin air encompasses me as I commence the final day of skiing at Vail, Colorado. Seven days of skiing elapse rather painlessly; I fall occasionally but an evening in the Jacuzzi soothes my minor aches. Closing time approaches on the final day of our trip as I prepare myself for the final run of the vacation. Fresh off the ski lift, I coast toward the junction of trails on the unoccupied expert face of the mountain. After a moment of thought, I confidently select a narrow trail so steep that only the entrance can be seen from my viewpoint.
...gy from. Without carbs your body cant store fat, that is why people end up going on no carb diets. Throughout the process of glycolysis glucose is converted into carbon dioxide and water, making a big quantity of ATP which is what makes energy. Glycogen is found in animals liver as an emergency energy supply. The sugars that basis the structures of DNA and RNA are ribose and deoxyribose which are other important carbohydrates. When we drink milk the carbohydrate is lactose formed from glucose and galactose. Some ways our bodies can get carbohydrates can be found in whole grains, vegetables and dry beans, sugars from fruits and natural foods are a healthy carbohydrate that our body processes fast. The bad carbohydrates we consume such as processed foods and empty calorie foods cause glucose to process slowly in our bodies.
The first molecule is Carbohydrates. The elements that are in carbohydrates is C, H and O. Carbohydrates has building blocks of sugars or also known as saccharides. How Carbohydrates work is they fast fuel for cells. Carbohydrates are an important factor of life because they provide an important source of energy. How a Carbohydrate molecule is made is of carbon atoms. A single sugar molecule for carbohydrate is Monosaccharide. Monosaccharide is glucose, fructose and galactose. The second one is Disaccharide and it has maltose, sucrose and lactose. The last one is
Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecule on Earth. “Carbohydrates are used as accessible energy to fuel cellular reactions and for structural support inside cell
