Water, Energy, And The Environment

  • Human activity affects and Global warming, the phenomenon
    Human activity affects global surface temperatures by changing Earth's radiative balance—the “give and take” between what comes in during the day and what Earth emits at night. Increases in greenhouse gases—i.e., trace gases such as carbon dioxide and methane that absorb heat energy emitted from Earth's surface and reradiate it back—generated by industry and transportation cause the atmosphere to retain more heat, which increases temperatures and alters precipitation patterns.   Global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air temperatures near the surface of Earth over the past one to two centuries. Climate scientists have since the mid-20th century gathered detailed observations of various weather phenomena (such as temperatures, precipitation, and storms) and of related influences on climate (such as ocean currents and the atmosphere’s chemical composition).

  • Greenhouse effect: Warming
    The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse, hence the name. Sunlight shines onto the Earth's surface, where the energy is absorbed and then radiate back into the atmosphere as heat. In the atmosphere, greenhouse gas molecules trap some of the heat, and the rest escapes into space. The more greenhouse gases concentrate in the atmosphere, the more heat gets locked up in the molecules.

  • Global warming 
    Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere. Climate change includes both global warming driven by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns

In a 2016 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, scientists found that 6.1 million children aged 2-17 years living in the U.S. had been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is similar to previous en Ages 6-11: Approximately 2.4 million children Ages 12-17: Approximately 3.3 million children

  • Better recipes on the web: Introducing recipe rich snippet
    Webmaster Level: All https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2010/04/better-recipes-on-web-introducingAnticipating the start of the season of barbecues and potlucks, we've added recipes as our newest rich snippets format. This means that for certain sites with recipe content, Google users will see quick facts when these recipe pages show up as part of the search results.For example, if you were searching for an easy to make thai mango salad, you can now see user ratings, preparation time, and a picture of the dish directly in search result snippets.

  • Here are several of these practices: Giving Directions Many students with ADHD have trouble following directions. Here are some guidelines that might help address this problem. Number of Directions: Give a minimal number of directions or steps at a time. If necessary, have students repeat the directions to the teacher or a peer partner. Form of Directions: Provide written directions or steps, or a visual model of a completed project. Teach students how to refer to these items as reminders of process steps to complete tasks. This strategy is particularly helpful for long-term projects.

  • ADHD and School interventions
    School interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of bothpreventive and intervention strategies.    Interventions must be based upon assessment data that includes information about the student’s strengths and needs as well as the environmental conditions in which her characteristics of ADHD occur.    Progress monitoring and strategy adjustments are critical to the success of any intervention plan (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010).   The first step in creating classroom supports for students with ADHD is understanding thestudents’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well ascollaboration among educational professionals and the students’ families.    If a student is not responsive to behavioral strategies and interventions, more intensive interventions, such as functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans, should be considered (see Practical FBA).    No one intervention is universally effective for all students with ADHD. A combination of research-based and promising practices is recommended.  Here are several of these practices:

  • Ecosystem Services: Examples
    Without ecosystem services, life on Earth as we know it wouldn’t exist. There are four main categories of ecosystem services: Provisioning services refer to the products secured by ecosystems. These include:   • Water • Food (including cattle and seafood) • Pharmaceuticals, biochemicals, and industrial products • Energy (sunlight, hydropower, biomass) Regulating services are the ecosystem services that allow the regulation of ecosystem processes such as: • Climate regulation (and carbon absorption and storage via the oceans, trees, soil) • Waste decomposition (one of the most essential microbial process happening in soil) • Crop pollination (performed by agents such as bees that contribute to the reproduction of flowering plants) • Water and air purification and regulation • Control of pests and diseases Supporting and habitat services refer to the ability of ecosystems to give habitat for migratory species and to support the viability of gene-pools.This is possible thanks to: • Primary reproduction • Nutrient and seed dispersal Cultural services are the benefits ecosystem services bring to humans. Examples of these are: • Inspiration for intellectual (creativity), cultural (entertainment) and spiritual (why) purposes    – Remember how it feels good to seeing and hearing wild birds    – Animals, plants and even the funghi kingdom serve as inspiration in theaters, movies…    – Many people go to natural sites when they want to be alone or reflect about life • Recreational experiences such as outdoors activities or ecotourism
