Water is easily the most known compound in the world. Water is able to easily change from a solid, to liquid to gas. Those three changes are the different states of matter that water can easily undergo when put under heat. In its purest form, without any other added elements or compounds, water is dihydrogen oxide. Two hydrogen atoms bonded with one oxygen atom. Pure water is very rare however. Ninety-seven percent of the Earth’s water is saltwater (American Water Works Association, 2002). This only
organization that is called Water.org. This organization is a nonprofit American aid association that focuses on breaking down the barriers between sanitation, water and people. This organization is the outcome from the union formed between WaterPartners founded, by Gary White, and H2O Africa, founded by Matt Damon. Water.org believes that the best way to break the never-ending cycle of poverty is through the power of something so simple, water. This organization is cofounded by both Garry White and Matt Damon
Got Zinc? According to recent statistics, zinc is the third most commonly used nonferrous metal in the United States. This unassuming metal was among the first minerals exploited by Man, used as a decorative material for thousands of years, although it never achieved the fame and notoriety of other metals such as gold or silver. In more recent times, new extraction and processing methods have allowed Man to produce higher-quality zinc than ever before, and to use it in an astonishingly high number
Module 2: Landforms The hydrologic or water cycle is an important topic in geology that is tied to the weather and the formation of landforms. It is the stages of water on Earth as it transforms itself from liquid to gas to solid or liquid again (American Water Works Association, 2002). Discussed below are the hydrologic cycle and two different examples of it on Earth. One example is of Panama, which is a tropical climate. The other is of the Mojave Desert in California, which is a desert climate
How water is viewed has seen a massive change over the past several centuries via tap water or bottled water but many claim bottled water is a blessing. Beginning with the idea of bottled water, bottled water was originally created by Jackson’s Spa, Boston in 1767 and was no more than a simple leather flask shipped to one’s home. Little did Jackson know he would create one of the largest productions in the world. Bottled waters high production rate allows for a demand in laboring jobs this is extremely
is to increase the use of renewable energy sources. There is unprecedented interest in renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy. Renewable energy sources provide electricity without giving rise to carbon dioxide emission (World Nuclear Association). It is impossible to convert to these sources completely, however there are things that we can do as individuals and as communities to be more environmentally friendly . As humans advance in technology, the amount of fossil fuels burned is increased

The American Red Cross It is important to know how the Red Cross began. It was in June 1859 when Henry Dunant went to Solferino, north of Italy. He was a spectator of a small but bloody war. French and Italians had a battle against Austrians. There were more or less 40,000 victims. He was completely horrified with the scene. He interrupted his trip to help the hurt and organized volunteers to save lives. When Henry Dunant went back to his home town Switzerland in 1862, he decided to talk
One large tub of hot buttery popcorn and a medium cold iced coke, please. These are the words that millions of Americans will say while going to the movie theatres to watch the blockbuster movie The Hunger Games. This movie portrays the struggles between different sectors of society. The struggle to feed their families when government forces and geographical disparity hinder their progress. Far too often this movie parallels the real life circumstances of people all over the earth. The term hunger
affect the mother. GDM accounts for 5-7% of all pregnancies (American Diabetes Association, 2010). During pregnancy the placenta develops and becomes the main bond between the mother and the baby. It is used to make sure the baby has and gets enough nutrients. The placenta makes several hormones which make it hard for insulin to control blood glucose and block the action of the mother’s insulin in her body (American Diabetes Association, 2010). Hormonal changes during the pregnancy causes the body
between fluoride intake and osteosarcoma. The U.S. Public Health Service, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on Cancer, and the International and American Associations for Dental Research, have all reviewed data or done studies on fluoride and cancer and they all came to the conclusion that there is no evidence to suggest that fluoride causes cancer (“Does Fluoride Cause
Varying Definitions of 'America' in American Literature Denotations and connotations inherent in the word "America" in different works of American literature have a number of similarities and differences. Often, the definition of the word is not known at the beginning of a work and one of the thematic elements is the search for the true "America," whatever it may be for the author in question. Many American authors raise the question, "What is America?" and go about answering it in their

The Effect of Poverty on Children Poverty is an economic condition in which people lack the income to obtain basic needs, like food, water, clothing, and shelter (“Poverty”). Poverty is an ongoing internationally battle that has yet to have been won according to Scott W. Allard, Associate Professor at the University of Chicago poverty affects more the 1 billion people throughout the world.

Distribution: Plastic water bottles are considered one of the healthiest beverages you can find in any shop. But are they really all that healthy for the environment, or is there a fine line between a plastic bottled water drink and what’s best for everyone? Let’s take a look at bottled water from the very start to find out. To manufacture plastic bottles, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used, and to produce PET, crude oil and natural gas is required. If one fills a plastic water bottle 1/4th full
Lake and Ocean Lifeguards: A Comparison Lake and ocean lifeguards work very similar jobs but have distinct differences. Lifeguards are trained in skills in order to protect and serve the public. The history of lifeguards is quite recent since actual lifeguards have only been around for the past 100 years. Lake and ocean lifeguards have a similar skill set, yet their distinct locations makes a major difference in what is required of them. While lake lifeguards and ocean lifeguards perform many of
The average human can not live any longer than three days without water. Many of the world’s fresh water sources are running dry or are being contaminated, particularly in developing nations, leaving many without safe water to drink. Only two and a half percent of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and less than one percent is accessible by humans (not tied up in ice caps). This one percent of the Earth’s water supply is expected to sustain a population of over 7 billion people, each needing 2.6
to discuss in this paper is sodium. I choose sodium electrolyte because our bodies use sodium to control blood volume and blood pressure. Sodium is also needed for our muscles and nerves to work properly. Electrolytes levels in our bodies can become too high or low. That usually happen when the amount of water in our bodies changes, causing dehydration or over-hydration. To understanding more about sodium level, I explain more about the pathophysiology of hypernatremia and hyponatremia in the body
short story "Say Yes," Tobias Wolff, uses a number of symbols to express his different views on racism throughout the story. Wolff uses this literary device to express a message to his readers. Symbols, something representing something else by association resemblance or convention, are used efficiently in this short story. Wolff uses colors to symbolize a hatred for an alternative race in this short story. The husband more than once makes reference to dark colors which shows the reader that the
A dental hygienist is a very important role in any dental office. As stated by a dental assistant, “Dental hygienists work closely with the dentist as well as hands on with the patients. They assist dentists with operative procedures such as fillings and extractions, and making molds of patients teeth” (Wilson, Jennifer). A large part of their job is teaching patients proper dental care to ensure a lifetime of healthy teeth. This includes proper brushing and flossing techniques. According to
