...in the activity was to get all three animals to the other side of the river, without leaving the dog alone with the cat or the cat alone with the mouse. What the activity required me to accomplish was to get the three animals across the river without leaving the dog alone with the cat or the cat alone with the mouse. The dog and mouse were able to be left alone but the cat could not be left alone with neither, the dog or mouse. I needed to remove the cat from the situation on both sides of the river to ensure the cat was not eaten or did not eat the mouse. I tried several times to take the animals across the river one after another but then tried taking the cat out of the situation on each side so the dog and mouse were left alone. I had to take the cat across the river first. Then come back and get the dog. Once the dog was dropped off on the other side, I had to pick up the cat and take it back over to the original side of the river. Then pick up the mouse and take it to the other side. Then I had to go back over to the original side of the river and pick up the cat to take it across the river. It was difficult to understand at first but once I discovered that I could take the cat back to the original side of the river it all began to make more sense to me. As I dropped off the dog, taking the cat back to get the mouse made it where the dog and mouse were the only two animals being left alone on either side of the river. It was a lot easier to solve the problem when I realized...

...lives of the human beings and creates emotions to to the lovers of art work. The work is a colorful presentation of an intimate moment between a fair skinned young lady and a dark skinned young man in the countryside besides a river. The man seems to be placing an earring the woman’s left ear. The two are seated beside a fast flowing river. The land scape where the two subjects are meeting is characterized by hills with trees on the left side and bushes on the right side. The trees on the left side seem to be planted because of their even spacing while the bushes on the right side are natural vegetation. The hills are covered by low growing grass. By use of different artistic elements the artist creates a serene environment just the perfect meeting place for an intimate encounter. Growing beside the river are two trees. One of the tree on the right side whose main stem has been cut has flowered while the other tree on the foreground near the couple has needlelike leaves and has not flowered yet. The art work is also a best representation on the use of lines, color and light to create real life situation. The artist uses curved lines to show the fast flowing tributary of the river down hills and uses wavy lines to show the smooth flow of the river on the forefront. The artist uses straight lines to create a flat ground downhill where the young man and the lady are seated. The straight lines are also used to show the needlelike leaves of the tree behind the man. This art...

...The Chicago River essentially has been known in different parts of the city to be very dirty and unhealthy to the environment. In 1850, those who were wealthy in Chicago lived alongside Lake Michigan because there was less exposure to pollution, while the poor people lived along the river since they couldn’t afford to live on the lakefront and that was the only space left. As Chicago began to expand, the sewage would flow directly into the river, first through trenches and roads, and then through the sewers. Waste and materials were also dumped into the river causing people to believe that this was the source for Cholera, Typhoid fever, and other waterborne...

...* to the child where in trip 16 the child will cross the river to pick up the other child. Trip 17 both of the children will cross the river again together, one of them staying and one going back for trip 18. The child will then hand the boat to the last standing adult who will take the boat across for trip 19, give the boat to the child for trip 20, and the child will pick up the last child for the final trip, 21 and the two will make it across the river. Those will be some pretty tired children! 1. What if there were 4 adults and 6 children? Again, I would solve this problem like I solved the rest of them. The first trip would be two children going across together. Trip 2 would be one child coming back, giving the boat to an adult for trip 3. Trip 4 would be the child coming back and picking up another child and trip 5 would be one child staying, and one child going back, giving the boat to an adult who for trip 6, will take the boat across the river. Trip 7 would be the child on the far side of the river coming back, picking up another child and trip 8 would be those two going across the river together. Trip 9 would be one of those children coming back, giving the boat to an adult, and letting the adult take it over for trip 10. Trip 11 would be that adult giving the boat back to the child and letting him take it back where he will pick up his friend for trip 12. Trip 13 the two kids will ride across the river together and trip 14 would be one of the children coming...

...sheep’s, pigs and others against many intestinal worms, mites, ticks and insects. While they were doing clinical testing Dr. William Campbell who is a researcher found out that it was effective against a parasite in horses that was similar to the parasite that causes river blindness. * River blindness is cause by a tiny black fly near river banks in third world countries that could bit humans with a parasitic worm (Onhocerca Volvulus) that could grow to two feet inside which releases a microscopic offspring’s (microfilariae) which swarm thru the body tissue that cases a very irritating itch that led to some people committing subside. Some 85 million people are infected by this. After many year in the system the microscopic offspring cause skin depigmentation of skin eventually invading the eye causing blindness. What are the ethical issues, concerns, problems? * The ethical issue with this is that the Merck & Co Inc. Dr. P. Roy Vagelos has to decide to either fund the Iermectin drug to be made for humans that have been brought up by Dr. Campbell to cure river blindness. The drug could cure the river blindness but it would not make enough profit to even pay off for the fund invested for research, it is because most of the people who need the drug are in third world countries that cannot pay for it. On top of the production of the drug not making profit they could risk losing sales of this same drug originally made for animals if it cases side effect on humans. It...

...Introduction The Nile River is the longest river in the world, stretching approximately 6,700 km from its remote headwaters in eastern Africa to the Mediterranean Sea. The Nile and its tributaries flow through Eleven countries and the river basin drains over three million square kilometers (one tenth of Africa’s total land mass) and is home to more than 300 million people (many of them are among the world’s poorest). Because of its size and variety of climates and topographies, the Nile is one of the most complex river basins in the world. The Nile originates from its major source, Lake Victoria forming the White Nile that flows generally North through Uganda and into Sudan where it meets the Blue Nile at Khartoum, from the confluence of the White and Blue Nile, the Main Nile River flows northwards into Egypt and to the Mediterranean Sea. The Eastern Nile includes the countries of Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt, and encompasses the sub-basins of the Baro-Akobo-Sobat, the Blue Nile, the Tekezze-Settit-Atbara, portions of the White Nile in Sudan, and the Main Nile. All flows in the Nile are the result of rainfall upon the Ethiopian highlands and the Equatorial lakes region. While this rainfall is usually plentiful, it is not always consistent from year to year. The annual average rainfall over the entire Nile basin is approximately 600 mm, ranging from 1200-1600 mm at the headwater regions to near zero at the most northern part of the basin. The seasonal fluctuations of rainfall...

...ABTRACT This project paper studies the potential of hydroelectric energy as a way to effectively generate, use and store renewable energy through the clean gravitational potential energy of stored water. Nuclear and coal fired plants could do change power output to achieve demand but at extremely high maintenance cost. Nuclear plants also being a good source of continuous energy has a high chance of posing hazard to the environment. Coal and fossil fuel fired power plants on the other hand cannot be depended on because the source will diminish someday. Therefore, alternative methods have to be explored in order to find a renewable and sustainable energy for the future generations. This project paper will study the benefits of hydroelectric energy as a potential and important energy source for a sustainable future. INTRODUCTION 1.0 Hydropower Hydropower is a renewable energy source based on the natural water cycle. Hydropower is the most mature, reliable and cost-effective renewable power generation technology available. Hydropower schemes often have significant flexibility in their design and can be designed to meet base-load demands with relatively high capacity factors, or have higher installed capacities and a lower capacity factor, but meet a much larger share of peak demand. Hydropower is the largest renewable energy source, and it produces around 16 % of the world’s...

...as you practice writing with this online lesson site, please keep to this rule unless you are instructed otherwise.) Not only is a topic sentence the first sentence of a paragraph, but, more importantly, it is the most general sentence in a paragraph. What does "most general" mean? It means that there are not many details in the sentence, but that the sentence introduces an overall idea that you want to discuss later in the paragraph. For example, suppose that you want to write a paragraph about the natural landmarks of your hometown. The first part of your paragraph might look like this: My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. First, it is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. Also, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual because it is very steep. (Notice how the first sentence begins with "My hometown..." a few spaces to the right of the paragraph edge. This is an indentation. All paragraphs in English MUST begin with an indentation.) Note how the first sentence, My hometown, Wheaton, is famous for several amazing geographical features,is the most general statement. This sentence is...

...of the river. 3. To investigate the impact of humans downstream. methodology On this field trip we went to Wag Water River. We use material such as rulers, stop watch, sketches and description of sites was made; method of observation was used to see how humans use the river for various reasons. Along the river channel group of student did the following at different points; Velocity: we measure the velocity of the river atleast three times to get an accurate measurement, we calculate the average. The velocity of the river was measured with a half filled bottle of water placed in the water at a given distance of 30m for some seconds (velocity=distance/time (seconds).The stream was also measured before and after tributary to show effect of tributaries, and deposit load which affects flow of the river stream and this was calculated by (cross section x velocity), then we compare the stream discharge at different sites and accounted for the differences. After we did that we also measured the depth of the river, we used the meter rule for this measurement, for every meter we measured the depth then we find the average. Rock samples were also taken to classified as: very angular, angular, sub-angular, sub- rounded, rounded and well-rounded and measured with a meter. Hence fort the student identifies bed loading at the three different across the width of the channel (atleast fifteen for each stop).

...full of hardworking hunters, dedicated mothers, learning children, many animals, and lots and lots of land. Fugawiland is in between the border of Lake Superior and the Highlands. There were 25 different sites in Fugawiland, but we were only given information on 10 different sites. The areas in which the citizens of Fugawiland lived permanently were either by the shore or by a river in sites F, Y, R (shore), P, I, W, and C (river). About twice as many people lived in sites by the shoreline compared to people who lived by the river. Site F contained the largest amount of Fugawilanders, about 45 people. A way to estimate the number of people living at a site is to multiply the number of houses by five because the huts in Fugawiland likely housed 4 to 6 people-leaving the average number of people per hut at five. Sites Y and R were tied for the second to most sites with the largest amount of people living I them with about 40 people in each site. In the sites that were located closer to a river, there was much less people. Site I had the most people living there, about 25. In each of the sites by the river and shore where the people lived there were only 2-4 graves per site. Most likely, the majority of the people got buried at site X, the largest site that archaeologists dug up in all of Fugawiland, located in the plains. This is because site X contained the most amount of graves and bundle burials-19 graves and 40 bundle burials. Bundle burials are a type of grave that was used...

...undulating grasslands, with the occasional hill and dotted with Acacia trees. Another amazing feature is the array of colour depending on the season, with the dry season turning the landscape to a crisp golden brown, while in the wet season, a sumptuous green carpet. Cool winds from the Great Rift Valley swoop down on the plains to provide a natural air conditioning during the hot, dry season and also bring the rains during the wet season. Two rivers, the Mara and the Grumeti, meander parallel across the plains, and are the only source of water for the wildlife in these vast lands. It is the month of August in the Mara Triangle, a name sometimes used to refer to the Maasai Mara national park. The rains have just ended, and the terrain is a blossoming green, while on opposite side in the Serengeti, the dry season is at its peak. A cloud of dust emerges at a distance from the Serengeti side moving towards the Mara triangle. Then gradually a black mass appears in the prospect, creating the appearance that resembles a voluminous black river flowing on the golden grass plains if observed from a high vantage point. At that distance, it is difficult to make out the shapes and neither are there any audible sounds, but it is a sight to behold. As the mass gets closer, it transforms...

...Rivers were an essential part to the growth of any civilization, because humans need food, water, and shelter to survive. All early civilizations settled near rivers or bodies of water and built out from there. The water from the rivers provided nourishment to the plants. The plants then provided them with shelter for the settlers. The settlers used the rivers water for drinking, preparing food, bathing themselves and provided water for their crops. The washing of their food and body helped keep diseases down and produced more work output. Doing more work meant digging irrigations systems from the rivers to the crops. Either by irrigation or by carrying buckets, the water was needed for crops. The running water also attracted animals that the early people hunted. The rivers were used as trading routes, made it easier to transport people or supplies. Living at the river sides require strict organization – apart from building irrigation systems, people had to learn how to prevent the water from flooding their homes by building dikes. Settling in at the river sides made it possible to establish the most known civilizations, like Egypt (river Nile ) or Mesopotamia ( Tigris – Euphrates) . 1. Describe carefully three ways in which Neolithic society differed from Paleolithic society. * People of the Paleolithic era lead a nomadic way of life. They were moving in small groups, rarely communicating with others. They moved from place to place mainly in order to find...

...people would settle where geography offered the least amount of barriers and the most amount of positive attributes to sustain the civilization. That is, civilization was able to come forth in Egypt due to the barriers with the desert and the Nile River which provided sustenance for crops. In Greece, civilizations began with the coastal areas as the land was great for crops while there was access to the sea for trade and barriers for protection with the mountains and limited access to the Greece cities. The same holds true with the Sumerians and the Mesopotamian area with mountains for protection and rivers for crops and sustenance. The combination of barriers for protection and water for crops would lead to people settling in areas which offered the most possible amount of attributes for civilizations to develop while at the same time offering natural barriers for protection. The cradle of civilization is considered to be the area around Mesopotamia with the Tigress and Euphrates rivers when the Sumerians developed an early civilization, In Sumerian, there was a code of laws, there was a stable area for crop production, and the rivers offered flooding for the land to recover with new silt and for drinking water for people. The rivers also offered travel potential for trade, and the land was protected by natural barriers with the mountains and the desert which had to be crossed. This allowed the civilization to develop and grow with more people that could ever settle in such an...
