He cheated on Laurel with Issy. Gerard mood get shown by the weather when he is thinking about Lucy, she is always warm, and when he is thinking about his life, and all the women there is snow, and when he gets Laurel again, there is candles in her apartment and when he sees her, he says the memories spill over him like a faucet left running (line 62.) like the snow is melting, like his cold and snowy heart. Issy was like fire to him, and he burns himself when he ruins his relationship whit Laurel, it is also why she is killed in a pool, because water kills fire. The Title which is “Save as Many as You Ruin”, maybe means that he saved Lucy, when he ruined his relationship with Laurel, so when he left the love in his life, he got a new one, who is Lucy. And Issy is the one who ruins Laurel and Gerard’s relationship, and she also ruin Lucy when she leaves her, but Gerard saves her, by being there for him, so he saves her instead of Laurel.

...up with the idea. Here I am going to tell you how this four scientists had revolutionized the refrigerator to how we use it today. But first let me tell you how the people did to storage their foods before the refrigerator. Do you remember the first example? Well you would said, that’s really easy, nothing to worry about. But imagine if you didn’t have the refrigerator. How would you have fresh food? How would you storage it? How would you be able to get a really cold cup of ice cream? Well we would suffer if the refrigerator wouldn’t exist. We are so dependent on the electricity and new technology that if something happened we would be lost. If we go back 250, or at least 300, we would notice that the people handled this situations whit the recourses that they could get. The people of those days used snow from the mountains and transported to their houses to later contain it in insulated material. They sometimes stored like the milk and butter in cellars, or underwater in the near...

...committed these crimes. Definition of Environmental Crime Environmental Crime is very hard to define. Some people say that it is a white collar crime, to others it is not just simply a white collar crime but it can be considered as crime against society. Whit Gibbons (2001) had shown two types of environmental crime in his article. First type is an individual such as an ordinary person dumping waste to the river and the other type is the white-collared type where companies dump harmful contaminants to a water source or the air. The main difference of the two according to Gibbons (2001) is that it is easier to prosecute an individual than a business corporation. The sad part is the business corporations who commit environmental crimes affects the environment more than an individual. He had treated the business corporation offenders as white-collar criminals and as such defined it in the article “crimes are committed by individuals or corporations for financial gain and involve knowledgeable, educated participants who attempt to circumvent the law” The definition of the environmental crime in legal terms is any "willful criminal violation that results in actual and substantial harm to the water, ambient air, soil, or land." There are several laws that had been put...

Does providing the enhanced seed to local and international groups around the world help in providing the necessary crop yield to feed the families without damaging the t local ecosystem? They are a leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed and of the herbicide glyphosate, which it markets under the Roundup brand. Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses known to compete with commercial crops grown around the globe. Is using the weed killer Rounds an ethical thing to do when it has the potential to harm plans and animals? Monsanto seeds are they Safe Does Monsanto maintain an ethical culture that can effectively respond to various stakeholders? Like any other large firm, Monsanto also has the responsibility to maintain an ethical culture that can respond effectively to stakeholders when issues arise. There are issues with their products that still need to be resolved including the risks to health and damage to the environment. They also need to enforce their code of ethics to mitigate employee misconduct. Although Monsanto has made ethical mistakes in the past, it is trying to remedy this. Monsanto accepts full responsibility for its employees’ behavior. The incidents showed that although...

...Wasted Water Water is the most important resource to human life and without it we would perish very quickly. “We could survive for several weeks without food, but for only a few days without freshwater” (Miller & Spoolman, 2013, p.238). Water also plays a key role in shaping the earth’s surface, controlling the climate and helping to remove and dilute some of the pollutants that exist (Miller & Spoolman, 2013). If that is the case, why do we take such huge advantage of this valuable resource? One reason I believe we do is there is a belief that exists in all of us that water is abundant and will always be here. There is some truth to that by the amount of water that is here on earth but this is deceiving because that is sea water and the salt levels in sea water is too high for us to consume or use in our homes and lives like we do now. But regardless of how important this source is, we continue to waste it and at a good rate. “According to water resource expert Mohamed El-Ashry of World Resources institute, about 66% of the freshwater used in the world and about 50% of the freshwater used in the United States is unnecessarily wasted” (Miller & Spoolman, 2013, p. 251). He goes on to state that if we can reduce our waste to 15%, that would be enough to meet the water needs of the world for the foreseeable future (Miller & Spoolman, 2013). I chose critical thinking question number four at the end of chapter 11 which asks to calculate how many liters and gallons of water are wasted...

Translate it into Arabic using the translation techniques you have studied in Chapter Three. [pic] Get ready for a white Easter: Snow and icy blasts set to last all week - but Britain could see a heatwave next month Authorities have warned drivers and pedestrians to be aware of black ice Freezing weather conditions are continuing to cause disruption today as forecasters predicted that icy temperatures and snow showers could last right up until Easter Day. Many roads across Britain remain impassable and thousands of homes are still without power after heavy snow and blizzard conditions deluged the UK over the weekend. Authorities have warned drivers and pedestrians to be aware of the possibility of black ice during the morning commute. Forecasters have also warned that there is no immediate end to the icy conditions in sight with the cold weather and snow expected to last into the weekend. Despite an end to the heavy snow, forecasters say the severe weather could return on Good Friday. The current forecast suggests that Britain could experience its first white Easter in five years. Several thousand households in Scotland remain without electricity today, down from a peak of about 18,000. The isle of Arran and parts of the south-west mainland of Scotland were particularly...

...In the story The Rain Came I think the village lives different from what we would consider the norm. The village has been in a drought for a while now and they really need water. So in the past, their ancestors would sacrifice on of their own to make it rain. For me this is a taboo. No one around me would see this as a way of life. He was a young man when he took the oath so that could have been a factor of him thinking that he would never have to come through with it. He had twenty children and Oganda was the only daughter that he loved very much. Also she will soon have to marry at a young age and leave his side. He feels that he needs to spent more time with her before she has to leave and also he wants to see her get married. Oganda made Labong’o a better chief and without her his spirit will vanish. On the other hand if he doesn’t go through with it would mean that the whole tribe would be sacrificed. The story says that he would be than putting the best interest of an individual above the society and dis obeying the ancestors. Also the Luo tribe would be wiped off the face of the earth. The story talks about how another lady had to sacrifice herself from going into the lake. It says that she is also a young lady and the village had rain coming down in torrents. The chief must sacrifice his only daughter for the village to have rain. You can imagine how the chief must feel to have his daughter go through with this. In the story he takes an oath “I will lay down life...

...widely discussed factors. It has far-reaching impact on biodiversity and climatic conditions of the planet. Several current trends clearly demonstrate that global warming is directly impacting on rising sea levels, the melting of ice caps and significant worldwide climate changes. In short, global warming represents a fundamental threat to all living things on earth. The greenhouse effect and global warming are issues that are talked about by geologists all the time. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth at temperatures that are livable. Energy from the sun warms the earth when its heat rays are absorbed by greenhouse gasses and become trapped in the atmosphere. Some of the most common greenhouse gasses are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane. If there were no greenhouse gasses, very few rays would be absorbed and the earth would be extremely cold. When too many rays are absorbed, the earths atmosphere starts to warm, which leads to global warming. Global warming can lead to many problems that affect the environment in which we live. In order to talk about global warming, we...

...being able to breath. In order to create oxygen, plants would need to be produced. The surface on Mars is rocky, so flattening the surface would need to happen first. Then creating a dome just to grow plants would be necessary. Once the plants have grown, I would remove the dome so the plants could create and release oxygen throughout Mars. More domes would need to be built to produce more oxygen needed for survival. With more oxygen being in the air, organisms would be able to survive on Mars. With Mars being so cold it made things even more difficult to survive. The freezing temperatures make it virtually impossible for plants, organisms, and humans to survive. Without water, survival is also impossible; if Mars was closer to the Sun, the frozen ice would be able to melt and then create water for the living organisms. Before human beings could actually create homes on Mars lots of big changes would need to be done. People think they can just wear a spacesuit and be fine but then this means living in this suit forever and never being able to get out of the suit. First of all, the air is very unhealthy to breathe. The air would have to be filtered to make it possible to breathe on Mars. A magnet would be a perfect filter for the clean air process needed on Mars. These are a few of the changes that would need to be performed on Mars to start the process of habitability on...

...Acting Locally Paper Crystal Dillon-Reeves BIO/289 February 25,2013 Dennis Kostac Acting Locally Paper The Shut-In Mountain Fen has some of the wettest and the driest habitats that are founf in the state of Missouri. This particular wetland fen has the most diverse ecological community and habitats found in the state. The Shut-In Mountain Fens preserve features of more than 15 types of fen communities ("Missouri Shut-In Fens", 2010). It is located in the Ozark Mountains in the southern central part of the state. In 2010, researchers found the rare carnivorous palnt called the Small Bladderwort growing here. The plant is an aquatic plant species that floats on the ponds, lakes and marshes with almost no root system. This animal eating plant feeds off of aquatic invertebrates, such as mosquito larvae, protozoans and tiny crustaceans. That is not the only thing that has been found in the plants traps though. Small tadpoles and newly hatched fish have also been found to fall prey to this carnivorous plant. The Small Bladderwort is Missouri’s only carnivorous plant. A plant eating animals is a rare quality, so to find one around where you live is an exciting thing. The plant does not really have an intrinsic value. It is mainly just about what they are and what they are about. It is not thought that this plant has any beneficial use to humans, other than the plant is hughly unique. The Shut-In Mountain fen is also the only home to the Current River Saddled Darter. This fish species...

...essay will focus on dehydration, and water in the body how it is function. The reason water essential to health maintenance and what water can do to the body if not enough is obtained. This essay will mention how the body level based on hydration has on alcohol and caffeine. Sodium, potassium, and chloride compare and contrast how these different electrolytes function in the body. I will also explain the steps to take to ensure people not become dehydrated. Dehydration means excessive loss of water resulting in depletion of body fluids (Grosvenor & Smolin (2006). Dehydration is that you lose more fluid than you take in which occurs because there is not enough water and other fluids in the body to function normal. Dehydration can be prevented by drinking about eight- nine glasses of water a day. Water is essential to health maintenance is that over half of your body weight is water. Every cell in our body carries out the presence of the universal solvent. A person sweat during exercise water with waste is flushed out of your body. Water is needed to prevent dehydration this helps to maintain proper metabolism in our body. All the body tissues varying proportions of water is found in 60% of body weight in adults is water, in a child the water percentage is the highest. The functions of water in the body are for digesting food. Water also helps to cushion our joints and prevents shocks in them. A person will know when he or she have enough water when he or she urine will be lightly...

...The Ocean The ocean makes up around 70% of the Earth’s surface. It is divided into several separate oceans which interconnect bodies of salt water. The major oceans are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Artic Ocean. The ocean has many functions. It keeps the Earth’s temperature moderate by absorbing solar radiation. It is then stored as heat energy which is distributed around the globe by the ocean currents. This keeps the land and air warm during the winter and cools it down during the summer. According to MarineBio, temperature and density share an inverse relationship. As temperature increases, the density—spaces between the water molecules—decreases. On the other hand, salinity and density share a positive relationship. As density increases so does the salinity—the amount of salt in the water. Temperature will always change within the depths of the ocean because warm seawater floats and cold seawater sinks. When the temperature, density, or salinity of a layer of ocean changes rapidly, the region is known as a cline. Thermoclines are areas of rapid change in temperature, where most people swim in the ocean and are the most important. Pycnoclines are areas of rapid change in density and haloclines are areas of rapid change in salinity. Living in San Francisco, the ocean is pretty hard to ignore. Around my neighborhood tons of people head out to Ocean Beach on a hot sunny day. Watching the waves go back and forth from the shore to the ocean is hypnotizing...
