...Wheaton Sanitary District’s Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) capacity is measured in millions of gallons per day (MGD). Wheaton states in their Virtual Plant Tour that the WWTP is designed to treat a dry weather flow of 8.9 MGD, a design maximum flow of 19.1 MGD and a peak wet weather flow of 45 MGD (WSD, 2015). Wheaton Sanitary District meets its peak demand through the use of four "Archimedes type" screw pumps. Each pump lifts the wastewater up from the main interceptor sewers into the plant. Each screw pump is 6 feet in diameter and 40 feet long. They are driven by a 100 horsepower motor and have a capacity of 15 MGD. Normally demand flows can be maintained with only one screw pump in in operation for wastewater treatment. During wet weather periods, up to three pumps may be required with a maximum flow of 45 MGD. By law, the plant must be able to operate with the largest pump out of service (WSD, 2015).

Chlorinated water, particularly from large pools such as community swimming pools, should not be discharged into storm sewers or surface waters.

But, as everything changes within time in history this also changed. The way the society sees a women as well as the way a women sees herself changed dramatically over the past years. While this change was happening even the most intimate facts about a girl’s life as well as her body was exposed to the public over the years. And one of these facts is maybe the most important change a girl undergoes in her life, menstruation. This natural incident that every woman has to go through eventually has never been made public as much as it now. We see commercials on the TV for sanitary napkins, hear people talk about it casually on the streets and we hear it getting mentioned in movies, songs, TV shows and mothers talk about it openly with their daughters. Menstruation is seen as such a natural thing that no one has any shame talking about it anymore, which is a huge difference from how it was in the past. Just 80 years ago it was such an big issue that even woman had trouble talking about it among themselves even behind closed doors. It was something that people were embarrassed to talk about to the degree that mothers refused to explain it to their daughters or even answer their questions. It was “something that should not be talked or even thought about”(Brumberg, 1997)[1] in the eye of the public. This was mostly...

His upbringing taught him the relevance of making the most of the little. An understanding further imbibed from his mother who has played a profound influence in his life. A brilliant mind, he studied journalism as well as Advertising & Public Relations from Indian Institute of Mass Communication, and then Masters in Economics. While still a graduate student in 1991, he traveled to Uttarkashi, North India after a major earthquake. Missing out on his classes, he lived in tents for days and helped in the relief efforts. This shocked his urban sensibilities. After completing his studies, he joined the corporate sector. Insatiate, he craved for that feeling of satisfaction that went beyond one’s personal goal and self-interest. His longing to give back to society, do something different to benefit thousands and involve people’s participation inspired an idea. He ultimately left Escorts as Manager, Corporate Communications in 1998 to work full time on his idea. Goonj, his dream for many years, was set up in the same year.

...Work Sheet for ”Debbie & Julie” Short story by Doris Lessing, 1987 A 1. How does Julie look? - Julie is a young pregnant girl, normally small of size but because of the pregnancy she perceives herself as fat in the mirror. We are not giving that much information about her looks, but she is smaller than Debbie. 2. What do you think the paperback (p. 2, 1. 5) is about? - it’s a book about pregnancy and giving birth. Julie uses the book as guidance. 3. What is in Julie´s carrier bag (see p. 3, 1. 13 - 19)? - in her well-prepared bag, Julie carries a torch, pieces of string wrapped in a piece of plastic, two pairs of knickers, a cardigan, a thick towel with an old blouse of Debbie´s, some sanitary pads and two guest towels. 4. Why does Julie feel full of trouble and worry and ill-prepared (p. 3, 1. 21)? - Julie is not sure why she feels the way she does, it could be because she´s afraid what would happen to herself and the unborn child. 5. How does Debbie earn her living? - Debbie could be a prostitute or escort, she has many “visits” from many different men, and she travels to New York with a man. Julie and Debbie have a strange relationship. It seems like Julie is relying on Debbie to take care of her as she did at first when Julie arrived to the city. Debbie always paid for Julie and taught her about life and men - from her own point of view. Debbie’s motto in life was “Take what you want and don’t pay for it” (p. 3 l. 30) but Julie knows better regardless...

...Kaitlyn Grubb February 18, 2013 English 015 Rhetorical Analysis Break Away from Perfection Fresh, salty air succumbs every small crevice of your body. A sun drenched angelic beach stands in front of you, waiting to be discovered. The sunlight glitters on every grain of sand, revealing miniscule specks of gold beneath the surface. This beach is so innocent, so white, and so pure. The beautiful, enormous ocean waves are crashing against the cliffs as you watch the seagulls joyfully fly around in circles. Warm, golden sand runs between your toes while the gentle breeze glides through your wavy hair. Gorgeous, shiny shells are washed along the shoreline by the rippling of the water. This moment is absolutely breathtaking, and you cannot help to feel amazing in your white, strappy bikini. But suddenly, you are woken up from this magnificent dream and violently brought back to reality. You can no longer sit and enjoy this heavenly view, especially in that white bikini. The time has come…to change your tampon. Tampon commercials have become dull and misleading. The concept of that “time of the month” is now construed to be a glorious time, filled with love and beauty. Dancing, exercising, or running along the beach wearing white is just some of the many aspects of the hundreds of unrealistic commercials for feminine products. Fortunately, there is a new, daring brand that emphasizes the key trait of being honest and realistic. The Kotex brand brings a fresh life to tampon advertisements...
