... River, it stores the water in small reservoirs open to the elements. Most other water districts use closed steel or concrete tanks. Only a few other California water districts currently store treated water in open reservoirs, including those in McCloud, Santa Barbara, Montecito, Carpinteria and Los Angeles. None of those has as many as the 11 used in EID. The El Dorado reservoir water consistently meets state health standards on bacteria, EID officials say, because the district constantly bubbles chlorine from nearby tanks into the reservoirs and sends the water on to homes. But they admit their open reservoirs expose the water to contamination by disease-causing agents for which ...
... to hide the fact that they are adopted, or someone they know is, and instead be proud of it. There are several situations that constitute a need for adoption. There are many couples that are unable to have children of their own. Adoption allows those couples to experience and enjoy parenthood. Most of the time it is not their choice that they can not have children. They can try everything that is offered medically to get pregnant, and still not succeed. Adopting a child can then become a positive alternative, and it also gives the child a good home with people eager to be good parents. It is a miracle to the parents when they hold their new child because they are given a chance to be ...
... alienated with less trendy or "cool" clothes. Hairstyles help ease this integration as well by giving each person similar styles making everyone feel more at ease. The overall integration helps the students realize that although people may look similar, the idea that everyone exhibits will be greatly different. These different ideas are present in everyone, and the dress code and hair restrictions help illustrate that just because someone looks the same, they do not think the same. When the students get jobs or find careers in their future, it will be helpful to know that even though all their co-wor s seem similar, they are in actuality very different. This approach to future jobs and ...
... female body is without a doubt a marvel to behold. The curves, the build, and the fact that there is just so much variety is unreal. I believe that anyone who says that the first impression they get of a person isn't collected from a visual standpoint has to be lying. No matter how wrong it may seem to be to some, women have been dressing in short skirts, low cut blouses, and tight jeans for some time. What's was the reason behind it all? To impress us men, to make us take notice. Now that we're really paying attention, we're being censured for it. Assuming that most women dress themselves, the blame shouldn't rest on men's shoulders. When man was introduced into this world, God pla ...
... father took a sexual interest in me. Remember how you taught me that art of deceit? First you put me in a situation that had to be kept a secret then you pledged me to secrecy...As a ten-year-old child, what was I supposed to do? You are an intelligent man you figure out the options available to a ten-year-old in that position." (Rush, 1980) Guilt: The abused will feel tremendous guilt for a numerous reasons: They feel they did nothing to stop the abuse therefore they are responsible and it should continue. They felt uncomfortable but the abuse was sometimes pleasureable. They somehow deserved and/or caused the abuse. A victim will usually feel this way when their self-esteem has dim ...

... significantly. Another aftermath of war is the suffering children. Many of them experience the painful loss of family members such as their parents, grand parents, and brothers, which sometimes leaves them alone in a harsh world. In addition, the physical health of the children is affected because of injuries, lack of food and medical care. All of this leads to emotional problems that can conflict with the children’s development and future well being. Finally, war can leave lasting repercussions on the countries that are involved in it. Due to contamination by biological weapons, insufficiency of food, or the bad administration of it, hunger appears and people become desperate. In addit ...
... Today). Dr. Torrence, in his studies, concluded that intelligence does not have any effect on creativity and it is the thinking style that actually stimulates creativity (Journal of Personality). His tests focused on the hemispheres of the brain in which he stated that " . . . left - hemisphere style is related to less creativity than right - hemisphere and interhemisphere styles." (Journal of Personality). Results of Torrance's study prompted others to reject his conclusion by maintaining that ". . . intellectual superiority is the primary determining factor in creative performance." (Kirk & Gallager 1983). Intelligence might not be a major factor in innovations but accor ...
... uses the racist term "nigger." This helps to justify that blacks are treated with considerably less appreciation than other races of people. Let us also look at the fact that blacks are often socially outcasted because of their race. We see this in The Runner. "You're telling me you won't work with him because he's a negro?" "That's right."3 As we can see the above exert clearly shows how the black person was outcasted. Bullet's coach asked him to train with another person on the team but Bullet refused to train with him because he is black. Another quote that shows how blacks are still in a struggle for racial equality is in short commentary, A Fair World for All by Dorothy Canfi ...
... days all jobs are taken. The jobs out there are low paying and demeaning to overqualified applicants. Left only to scrap by, it is not unusual for an "X-er" to feel "Boomer Envy" described as the "envy of material wealth and long-range material security accrued by older members of the baby boom generation by virtue of fortunate births" (Generation X, pg. 21). The fortunate thing is that "X-ers" have come to realize money is not the key to life and community and commitment are what one should work towards. In keeping the same "money isn't everything" slogan, Coupland executes a novel modelled after young "X-ers" who work for the most powerful Baby Boomer of them all, Bill Gates. ...
