Both authors explains “The erosion control effectiveness of turfgrass is the combined result of a high shoot density and root mass for surface soil stabilization, plus a high biomass matrix that provides resistance to lateral surface water flow, thus slowing otherwise potentially erosive water velocities. Therefore, perennial turfgrasses offer one of the most cost-efficient methods to control water and wind erosion of soil. Such control is very important in eliminating dust and mud problems around homes, factories, schools, and

Atticus shows courage when he defends Tom from the lynch mob when he is going to jail, which could have ended in Tom being killed, brutally beaten and furthermore, could have lead to Atticus’ death and torture. In the novel, Atticus is sitting in front the jail doors reading a newspaper. He was opening, closing and folding it as if he was expecting a group of citizens to arrive. A massive group of men departed from their cars and began moving towards the jail doors. One man confronted Atticus and said "You know what we want. Get away from the door, Mr. Finch." "You can turn around and go home again, Arthur," Atticus said pleasantly. "Heck Tate's around somewhere”.(pg 202) This segment of quotations exemplifies that Atticus knew this group of men were going to arrive and he positions himself outside the jail doors ready to defend Tom.

Before the time of the lawn mower, there was grass and sheep, and the sheep ate the grass. The grass was short, but the process wasn’t very efficient. For places, such as Utah, this was fine, but in more settled areas this lack of a lawn mower caused a problem for landowners.

Smooth brome is an introduced cool-season rhizomatous perennial grass known to invade throughout northern Great Plains. During the spring of 2013, we implemented an experimental study at the smooth brome invaded mixed grass prairie site of eastern South Dakota to evaluate mowing as an effective management tool for controlling smooth brome. Unlike earlier studies, our research focused on exploring the response of smooth brome below ground bud bank size, composition, and tiller establishment under different mowing frequency. Experiments were conducted using four specific types of treatment- Control (no mowing),

According to Stuart Chase in rich land poor land “grass is what counts, grass is what holds the earth together.” There were a lot of new farming inventions created in the 1930’s but with these came a price to pay. This was partly the cause of overplowing but this also damaged the grass and tore it apart. This eventually led to the stuff above the grass to break up and become loose. After everything breaking up the wind would catch it and cause a dust storm just like the overplowing caused dust storms.

Resourcefulness is being able to overcome difficulties quickly and in a clever way. Resourcefulness can also be using one’s surroundings for his/her benefit with prior knowledge and experience. In Richard Connell’s short story “The Most Dangerous Game” the main character Rainsford shows these skills of resourcefulness as he tries to survive the hunt. Rainsford is an experienced big game hunter that is trapped on a tropical jungle covered island with another big game hunter, General Zaroff. Zaroff has gained so much experience in hunting, due to this he has lost interest in hunting animals and now enjoys the hunt of humans. Rainsford is put in the position to be torched or participate in a game of hunting. When Rainsford is challenged to this game of hunting he is forced to try and survive. Rainsford is able to survive the hunt because he uses his resources and prior knowledge to weaken Zaroff helping him win the hunt.

On September 21st, Christine Brennan reported Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand while the national anthem was being played in National Public Radio’s (NPR) online portal (www.npr.org). All through the National Football League 's preseason matches, Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, refused to stand for the national anthem. He clarified that he took this stance to point out what he sees as wrongdoings against African-Americans and different minorities, especially with regards to certain atrocities in police activities. Kaepernick has stated he is showing support for the Black Lives Matter movement, which was sparked by a number of police killing innocent black people. When addressed by journalists after the first occasion when he did not stand for the national anthem, Kaepernick stated that, “he would not show respect or pride in a flag for a country that continues to oppress African Americans and people of color.” He added that this was much bigger than any game and that it would be selfish on his part to look away. He also claims that there were bodies lying on the streets and people were getting away with murder. I don’t think Brennan understands why he chose not to stand fully. I think this also could have led to more attacks from other writers and reporters that have been inform of his true reasoning. I do not think he was disrespecting the flag or people that fight for it, but just making a stance to get

Before the drastic events of the dust bowl, white settlers, lured in by extremely inexpensive land, arrived to have lives as farmers. However, to obtain this land Native Americans were forced off of their own land, leaving millions of acres with thick prairie grass. This seemingly indestructible grass could survive lightning strikes, harsh winters, blazing summers, and the most anhydrous droughts. Sadly, when the settlers arrived, the destruction and removal of the grass from the vast plains began. To accomplish such a feat, farmers used axes, sharp blade plows, and some farmers even used their bare hands. In only two decades, millions of acres of prairie grass was completely obliterated, just for wheat to replace it. Thankfully for the farmers, the wheat was fruitful, for plentiful rain ensued the planting of the wheat. At this time, humans destroyed the prairie grass.

Washington’s coach, Tom Brown, states, “It makes us look even quicker. The turf gives you a lot more traction, and some of our kids fly”. Think about it, regular grass doesn’t give you the ability to fly, but turf does! Finally, according to easyturf.com, they say that “Turf eliminates yellow and brown grass stains found in organic soil, it provides a clean backyard, keeps the house free of tracked in dirt and mud, and reduces water use by lawns up to 70%”. In my thinking, installing turf in fields is way better than getting dirty, regular

The usage, abuse, and sale of illegal drugs is an epidemic that has remained an unsolved problem of the United States. The biggest effort that the United States has launched in order to deal with rampancy of drug issues is the War on Drugs that was started by former president Richard Nixon. During its beginning, the War on Drugs was controversial due to the attitudes that were directed to drug users that were cultivated by the policies being set. In the present day, the War on Drugs is under scrutiny as being a trillion dollar failure. Those who advance that the War on Drugs was a failure in many regards are correct. Drug abuse, overdoses on drugs, and the availability of drugs is still a problem, if not more of a problem than it was in 1971. Undoubtedly, the amount of drug makers and sellers that have been arrested due to the War on Drugs has skyrocketed. Because of this feat that can be attributed to the policies developed from the War on Drugs, wouldn’t the War on Drugs be a success? The answer is no because the War on Drugs hasn’t fully undertaken the most important aspect of warring against drugs—targeting the conditions that breed drug users. United States law enforcement can send as many drug users and drug dealers as it can. Yet, the drug problem of America can never be properly addressed if the conditions that can lead one to use and sell drugs, poverty and broken family ties, are never attacked as they should be. Additionally, those who are in the cycle

The landscape of your educational institution’s grounds is an integral part of everyday life on campus.Your students shelter in the shadow of its trees. The shrubbery and hedges border the confines of the lawns and sidewalks where they will think the thoughts, compose ideas, and create the memories that last a lifetime. Managing all of that can be a costly and time consuming endeavor, and there are many considerations you need to make, especially if your campus experiences all four changes of season every year.
