Description

Water is the most essential component of life and is vital for sustenance. The importance of water in our diet is apparent as it helps the body to perform specific metabolic tasks and regulates our body temperature, moreover water is unique as it's density is similar to that of cell protoplasm. There is no doubt that water is everywhere and it is very important to our Earth and the life inhabiting it. Water contains no calories and is a significant factor in losing weight.

Water is the most essential component of life and is vital for sustenance. The importance of water in our diet is apparent/considerable as it helps the body to perform specific metabolic tasks and regulates our body temperature, moreover water is unique as it's density is similar to that of cell protoplasm. There is no doubt that water is everywhere and it is very important to our Earth and the life Inhabiting it. Water contains no calories and is a significant factor in losing weight. Researchers at The Rockefeller University have shown that the dirt beneath New York City teems with our tiny allies in the fight against disease. In soil collected from city parks, the team dug up genetic evidence of bacteria capable of producing a wide range of compounds whose potent effects might be harnessed as medicines. Their work is described in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. One of the myths associated with the Great Wall of China is that it is the only manmade structure that can be seen from the moon with the naked eye. The legend originated in Richard Halliburton's 1938 book Second Book of Marvels. However, This myth is simply not true. Richard Halliburton's claim was contradicted by astronauts Neil Armstrongby and Yang Liwei. A more plausible assumption would be to say that the Great Wall can be visible from a low orbit of the earth which is not unique in this regard as many other artificial constructions can be seen from that height.

Information technology deals with the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and telecommunications. Thanks to the continuous development of computers, the original computing systems became

minicomputers and later personal computers took the lead. Nowadays, mobile phones are dethroning the personal computer and computing is evolving faster to become disembodied more like a cloud, becoming accessible more easily whenever needed. Information technology in this sense has transformed people and companies and has allowed digital technology to influence society and economy alike.

Today’s Labour Day sees a storm raging off the East Coast of the nation. Scientists are saying the storm is not a sign of things to come. Rather, it is a sign of things already here. Climate change is real. It is causing sea levels to rise. It is leading to flooding on both coasts and along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The scientists are more certain than ever. The ocean is warming. It is creating “sunny day floods.” These are floods that happen when the tide is high , and there is a brisk wind. These floods are often just a foot or two deep. But they can stop traffic and swamp basements. They make it hard for storm water to drain. They can happen even when there is no rain. Low-lying areas of the nation, such as Miami, are taking steps. They are building sea walls and enlarging their drainage systems. They plan to raise roads to higher levels along the coast. Many believe that the work of the nation in the future will be about climate change. The problem is real, here and now. The big question is how fast it is taking place. Not all the nation will be underwater.
