Hi everyone. I’m surfing the net because I have to understand the meaning of FOIL in a specific context.
It has been used in a scientific paper: “to develop the item of this instrument, a first step consisted of identifying the key targets and foils.”
I come from Italy but I would appreciate even a synonym in English in order to understand this word.
Thank you a lot!

future of "I miss you"
how can I say the future of "I miss you"?
what's the difference between "I will miss you" "I will be missing you" "I'm going to miss you" ?
or I could only say "I miss you" and it could works as a future statement ?
thank you in advantage

Could someone correct this short text? Thanks in advance.
I completely agree about the importance of saving our animal environment.
Humans have changed our planet and some animals could actually live hardly in it. For instance, tigers, some kind of birds and fishes need to be protected and they must live in secure areas or zones built by human beings. Many species of them are seriously in danger of extinction. We must protect all the animals we are able to, because it is really important to keep all the species alive in order to have the most variabilty as possible.
As we know, animals need to feed eachother in order to survive and their food is usually compose by other animals. If one kind of animal disappears, one another would not have food enough to survive, and maybe in a few years all the species could die for that reason, as in a chain reaction.
In my opinion we must escape this situation as much as we can and we had better to start from saving the whole animal world.
