(1) Conductors don’t often gets the recognition they deserve for the work they do in orchestral performances, mostly because casual audiences don’t always understand what they bring to a performance. (2) To an untrained audience, conductors look like people who simply flail about to the music on stage. (3) Even within the music industry, they don’t always get the respect they deserve. (4) Famed composer, Igor Stravinsky, once wrote that conductors “may well be less well equipped for [their] work than [their] players,” adding that “if you are incapable of listening, the conductor will show you what to feel.” (5) While not everyone in the music industry agrees with Stravinsky, there is no doubt that a great many people have no idea what a conductor contributes to the performance, even if they are not playing an instrument.

(6) In this way, conductors are extremely helpful to the orchestra. (7) The fact of the matter is, however, that conductors are an extremely important part of an orchestral performance. (8) In many ways, the conductor takes on the role of a coach for the performance. (9) In most sports a team could function without a coach if necessary, but it helps to have one to keep everyone on the same page and in the same rhythm. (10) The conductor keeps time and helps players make adjustments in the moment—which is extremely important in a musical importance, and great conductors do so while also connecting with the audience and engaging them in the performance. (11) The next time you see an orchestra performing, look at how hard the conductor is working and pay attention to the connection they have with their players. (12) Perhaps you’ll have a new appreciation for what they do.

(1) It’s easy for people to demonize bees, an insect that wants to hurt you so bad that it’s willing to die just to give you a little bit of discomfort. (2) If you’re allergic to them, they’re suicide bombers trying to take you down with them. (3) But bees are dying out.

(4) In 2017, the rusty patched bumble bee became the first wild bee in the continental United States to be listed as an endangered species by the ESA—Endangered Species Act. (5) A year earlier, seven species of Hawaiian bees were also labeled as endangered. (6) So, why does this matter? (7) Most people know that bees pollinate flowers, but we don’t often think about how important this process with flowers is. (8) Flowers rely on pollination to create offspring, which means that lots of flowers will go extinct if bees are not around to pollinate them. (9) The extinction of bees doesn’t just mean the end of honey and bee stings, it means the extinction of many flowers and plants, the extinction of many of the animals that eat those flowers and plants, and a monumental change to the nature of our world.

(10) Since the 1990’s the bee population has plummeted almost 90%, and humans are largely responsible. (11) While there are many factors contributing to this sharp decrease in the bee population, many of the factors are interrelated, and either directly or indirectly our fault. (12) The two main reasons the bee population is decreasing are pesticides and loss of habitat. (13) We need to change the way we act in order to preserve the bee population. (14) Humans are killing bees by indiscriminately spraying dangerous pesticides, and by destroying their habitats. (15) This negligence is unacceptable. (16) If humans were just a little more careful, by banning dangerous pesticides and preserving wild habitats, we could significantly increase the bee population and avoid the potentially catastrophic reality of a world without bees.
