Videos and social media posts pour out of East Aleppo, and the world weeps. For the seven-year-old girl facing her death, for the man seeking prayers as a bomb explodes in the distance, for the activist pleading, “Save Aleppo. Save humanity.” The aerial footage of the city is apocalyptic, but it is the images of individuals grasping for hope as they face death that has truly captured and horrified the masses. We have seen this before: the figures leaping from the World Trade Center, the story of…

Table 11: Solar energy collector type (Source: Kalogirou (2004)) In the textile industry, energy is mainly consumed for heating of liquid baths close to 100 oC for washing, bleaching and dyeing. Drying processes usually use hot air or gases from 100 to 130 oC as shown in Table 12. In a solar process heat system, interfacing of the collectors with conventional energy supplies must be done in a way compatible with the process. The easiest way to make this is by using heat storage, which can also…

Persecution was a key trait of totalitarianism that lead…
Engineering Genetics? Genetic engineering is when a living cell’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is altered to improve it in nearly any way one wishes. Alterations may include: how the cell would look later on in life; tricking it into producing something it normally would not; and/or increasing the amount of resources produced. Even though not everyone agrees with how the research is done on genetic engineering, it does do one thing: it betters our society. Due to research of genetic engineering,…
creating a world where most people farmed. For thousands of years, most human toiled the land as farmers, and the success of civilizations was dependent on the fertility of the land. The next huge wave of technological innovation ushered the agricultural revolution, where advancements in…
There are many major provisions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership such as increasing job opportunities for not only American workers but other countries as well. Another would be it expanding agricultural markets to the other nations; negotiate intellectual property rights that will favor manufacturers, service providers, and farmers, also pharmaceutical patents (Gomez, 2015). This proposed deal provides new and easy market access for goods and services rendered here in the United States. Now,…
One example of how consumerism negatively affects all aspects of society is through the natural resources. People gather resources to make materials for people to use. Nothing is infinite and people are constantly tearing natural resources down. Machinery that is used to mine these materials burn through diesel like nothing which contribute to greenhouse gases. According to Phys.org “We are demanding nature 's services -- using resources and creating CO2 emissions -- at a rate 44 percent faster…
Fuel, machinery and food shipments were the first to be sent overseas for aid in distribution by a U.S government agency (Economic Cooperation Administration) made solely for the Marshall plan. This was an example of government official diplomacy to change Western…
