biggest challenges throughout the world1. Contaminated water is one of the biggest sources of potentially hazardous microorganisms that can cause severe health problem for humans either by direct consumption or through use in washing of food materials and food contact surfaces. According to the traditional water disinfection methods such as chlorination and ozonation have shown disadvantages related to the formation of potentially hazardous disinfection byproduct (DBPs) with carcinogenic and mutagenic
volunteering with my teammates from the U.S. and Brazil in Ghana for an American NGO called Saha Global, we tested drinking water from a sample of households in a laboratory for fecal coliforms and E.coli in water to ensure the disinfection process had worked. After 3 weeks of strenuous work, we could proudly claim that we were successful in making contaminated “chocolate milk” like water from a local dugout in rural Ghana germ-free and safe to drink. It was not a personal or a one-person accomplishment
The people of Eirian island study the stars. For many years they have mapped the stars, made constellations, and with the constellations come amazing tales. One in particular, however, stands out from the rest; that is the Shokagi Constellation. The tale of this constellation is an extraordinary one, one that explains why we humans have kept language at all, and perhaps why the animals forgot it. This is the bizarre tale of their extravagant story. Eirian island is a place of warring factions, Humans
I. The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the best research facilities outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. Not only does it possess highly advanced technology to conduct research, it is also one of the only places with access to microgravity. Most studies on the International Space Station have to do with how different things work under the influence of microgravity which is one-millionth of the force of Earth’s gravity. In order to conduct the research on the ISS highly trained astronauts

Description of the discovery Geocentrism was the first theory of the structure of the solar system which made earth the centre of the universe with all other planets orbiting around it. Geocentrism was later replaced with the discovery of the heliocentric model. The heliocentric model is the theory that positions the sun at the centre of the solar system with all of the planets orbiting around it. The discovery also showed that the moon rotates around in the gravitational pull of the earth. Year
Elizabeth Bishop is an American poet and short story writer from the 1900s.

Her extraordinary ability to reflect common topics in her poem creates a thought provoking atmosphere which enables her to convey lucid, complex ideas through her poetry. Bishop’s ability captures the fascination of many critics, thus leading to an in depth
work. There is no middle class. The poor sleep where they can and join together for the daily food riots. The rich live in high-rise furnished apartments that come complete with young women. The apartments also feature unheard-of amenities like hot water and free-flowing electricity, and the people who can afford them can also afford black market luxuries like eggs, jam, and the rarest of all, real beef, Knipfel(2018)
Language is used everyday in lives. We use it to communicate with each other to show how we feel or think. Comfort can drift away from us if we do not have the ability to communicate with others. Barriers can present themselves when trying to communicate inhibiting language. In the short story Out of All Them Bright Stars by Nancy Kress, she puts an alien in a normal dinner and everyone is uncomfortable with his presence there except his waitress. At first she refers to him as “it”, but once she
Should dying languages be saved? Over the last few decades learning English has become more important or even better said a must to live in today’s world. Globalization has made it occur that more and more people are learning the English language, because people from different countries want to communicate with each other, however because all these people are learning English or another often spoken language nowadays they stop speaking their original language or become less fluently at speaking it
We as a human being understand the destruction landmines can cause to the lives of those who were impacted by. The landmines just don’t disappear after the war like soldiers going home after battle. Even though the war ended the mines that haven’t been activated will still be deadly and will still hurt those who are innocent. There are lots of stories from elders about landmines that they have seen in their lives that are not in the media. Landmines have taken many lives of those who do not deserve
Galileo Galilei Sunspots are dark areas of irregular shape on the surface of the Sun. Galileo observed that, while a country took about 14 days to get from the other side of the Sun, its rate of motion was not uniform The only refutation of Galileo 's completion was as if he had really planets revolve around the sun, they were moving in an irregular manner, and always faster when they crossed the Sun dis center. After his biggest invention, telescope was a great help for Galileo, because he was
2.1.1 What is an Organization? Different definitions exist for the word “Organization” as mentioned by (Mintzberg, 1983): "Every organized human activity -- from the making of pots to the placing of a man on the moon -- gives rise to two fundamental and opposing requirements: The division of labor into various tasks to be performed, and the coordination of these tasks to accomplish the activity". While (Lawrence & Lorsch, 1967) mentions defines the organization in terms of its effectiveness: "The

naturally occurring, theoretically inexhaustible source of energy, like biomass, solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass, hydroelectric power and tidal energy. SOLAR ENERGY This energy source is based on the sun’s energy; it can be obtained by using solar energy actively or passively, it uses special technology to capture the sun’s rays. The type of equipment used to absorb sunlight actively, are solar panels, they contain: Photovoltaic panels which convert sunlight directly into electricity
Before modern technology allowed astronomers to determine the exact distances between the Earth and other objects in the solar system, they had to rely on alternative methods to make these measurements. Two scientists who made some of these early measurements were Johannes Kepler and Giovanni Cassini. Kepler used the time of a planet’s orbit to determine the relative distance between the Earth and other objects, while Cassini used the parallax method to estimate distances. Johannes Kepler was
Atom Bombs Something is falling out of the sky! Is it a bird, or maybe a plane? No. That’s an Atomic Bomb! Find an Atomic Shelter, fast! An Atomic Bomb is a powerful nuclear weapon used in WW2. Atomic Bombs are mostly used for destroying the enemy in one swoop, because of its massive explosive destruction. For example, the USA used two Atomic Bombs at the end of WW2, which resulted in the destruction of Hiroshima, located on the eastern end of the Chugoku-Sanji mountains. When
Ocean V. Space Exploration The ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth, yet we’ve explored only around 5% of it. This means there is so much more to explore in the ocean. The one reason we haven’t explored as much of the ocean is because of space. Space is wildly more popular, and has proven its worth with many advancements. The ocean, however, has major benefits: providing food, medicine, and the air we breathe. Oceans can bring much more to the table, if we would simply explore more of them. Space
Bright stars fill the Milky Way galaxy with beauty. Many solar systems revolve around the galaxy. The Milky Way is the galaxy we live in. Even though many people only know the Milky Way as the galaxy we live in, there is actually a lot more to it than you may think. 1. Our galaxy is so big, we haven't even gotten out of it. Do you realize how big the Milky Way really is? In school we learned the sun is gigantic, but it's tiny compared to the galaxy. This sun is 432,288 miles across and
two supercontinents, Laurasia and Gondwana. These two split, moved, and so on. This resulted in many changes of environment, which caused animals to adapt and evolve to the isolated environment of islands. For example, Australia had been isolated by water resulting in the mammals not having any competition from the outside world. Due to this, most of the mammal species here carry their young in their pouch, while in other places they feed their young through a placenta. In the Galapagos, there are many
