tap water
Americans drink more than one billion glasses of tap water per day! In fact, children in the first six months of life consume seven times as much water per pound as the average American adult.
A safe water supply is critical to protecting health. In the United States, community water supplies are tested every day. EPA has drinking water regulations for more than 90 contaminants. Collectively, water utilities in this country treat nearly 34 billion gallons of water daily!
Try to imagine your daily routine without tap water. How would you shower without it? Could you wash your fruit and vegetables? Clean your clothes? Scrub your dishes? Tap water touches every aspect of our lives, from the products we use to the food we eat. Even firefighting would be impacted without tap water. Firefighters depend on a reliable water system with high pressure and volume. In most communities, water flowing to fire hydrants is conveyed by the same system of water mains, pumps and storage tanks as the water flowing to your home.

Many communities are implementing protection efforts to prevent contamination of their drinking water supplies. These communities have found that the less polluted water is before it reaches the treatment plant, the less extensive and expensive the efforts needed to safeguard the public’s health. You can help to protect your public water supply, too. Limit your use of fertilizers and pesticides, clean up after your pets and don’t throw trash in storm drains.

Lost Souls : The World of Cults.
Unit 6.
Charisma is often used to describe a difficult trait to reach even an indefinable personality that frequently includes the capability apparently supernatural or extraordinary to implement charm, persuade and inspire to well-to-do people.
A cult group is a united group by a demagogic doctrine and led by a charismatic leader who pretends to be the same divinity or a chosen by it, or else a possessor or the absolute truth.
The leaders demand their orders be executed without any critic. they demand a total adherence to the group and force under psychological pressure to break with all teh social bonds : parents , couple, friends, work, studies, etc. They live in a close community and in total dependency on the group.
They eliminate the individual freedom. They control the information that their followers get by manipulating it. They use psychological tehniques which deprive the followers`s will and reasoning. Everybody is an enemy out of the group.

SHYNESS
Shyness is the awardness or apprehension that some people feel when approaching or being approached by other people.Unlike introverts, who feel energized by the time alone, shy people often desperately want to connect with others but don´t know how or can´t tolerate the anxiety that comes from human interaction. Human beings are social animals and the tenon of our social life is one of the most important influences on our mental health.
without positive durable relation ships, both, our minds and our bodies fall apart. we beging life dependent for survival on the quality of relation ship with our primary caregiver, usually mon. and nature of that relation ship ty pically influences all other in our life.
Introvers are drained by social enconters and energized by solitary, often creative pursuits. their disposition is frecuently misconstrue as shyness, social phobia or even avoidant personality disorder, but many introverts socialize easily, they just strongly prefer not to. In fact, the self style introvert can be more emphatic and interpersonally connected than his or her outgoing counterparts. the line between introversion and lonely, loners gets blurry,however,as some introverts do wish they could break out of their shell.

FEMICIDES IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Femicide, defined as the misogynous
killing of women by men (Russell and Radford, 1992), has its roots in the
larger feminist discourse, which emphasizes the patriarchal nature of society
and the tendency to use violence as tool of repression in the maintenance of
male dominance. In other words is the act of killing a woman by a domestic
partner or a member of a criminal enterprise, the deliberate, wanton violation and massacre of women and girls, as in a particular ethnic group by an invading army. Compare genocide. The term femicide has
been forced to take into account perceived ‘modern’ ways in which women’s lives
are controlled and harmed by patriarchal structures and, as such, research
concerning the term has been extended to encapsulate technological revolutions
that effect women’s lives.
Nowadays the femicide in Dominican Republic is increasing everyday, in
newspapers, TV news, on internet, etc., appears in first page a woman who was
murdered or abused by her partner. Everybody asks – What are the reasons that lead
a man to murder his couple? Nearly 200 women who have died recently in the
country at the hands of their current or formal partners. The murder of a woman
is always a sad fact; there are different types of offenders, although its
final actions are the same. Firearms are the most commonly used by attacks to
finalize their victims, the second option the knives.
The femicide is the exit that a mad man finds when he is angry, he
forgets that women are so fragile like a glass an is not needed to murder or
abuse a woman when there is disagreement between them, the anger and the abuse
to a woman show how men are lack of feelings, lack of education, lack of values
and respect by himself and also they are not intelligent because who is able to
hit his wife can hit his own mother, his daughter and his sister too. When a
man has an anger attack he does not think in its consequences even his freedom
and his family, and also there are occasions when he finishes killing himself
after he murders his couple. The matter is that a man thinks that his wife is
an object that he bought in a shopping mall and he is her owner because they
have a relationship
.. Everyone has made a mistake because we are human and human are not perfects, if a woman does not
.. Everyone has made a mistake because we are human and human are not perfects, if a woman does not
want to go on with a relationship with his husband or boyfriend, to kill
her is not the solution even she has the fault, there is no reason to kill
anybody, God was our creator an he is the only one who has to decide when is
our last day in this world, nobody has the right to do it.
"Women are being killed and are
subjected to abuse just because of their gender," said Virgilio Almanzar,
director of the Dominican Human Rights Committee in Santo Domingo. Women in this country is often
subjected to violence simply because they are women and seen as the weaker sex.
What's more, the increase in drug-related violence has translated into more
gruesome crimes against women, including decapitations and torture.
Paradoxically, where women are
thought most to be at risk is at home, conceived of traditionally – especially
in non-feminist literature – as being a woman’s rightful place. Husbands are
said to pose the biggest threat, especially for those women wishing to leave
the home or begin divorce proceedings. However, such violence is certainly not
limited to the home, but intrinsic to every aspect of society. Media
representation of women, for example, when reporting deaths involving women and
in pornography and ‘snuff’ films which depict apparently real violence against
women for male sexual gratification, highlight the prominence of ‘male’
perspectives on issues that concern women and objectification of women,
portrayed as devoid of any subjective experience. The judicial system also plays
a role in perpetuating the structures that permit femicide due to the refusal
to focus on the misogynistic nature of crimes, and the tendency to shift
responsibility from the male killer to the woman killed. Women-blaming
strategies which
have even led to the codification of
the term “provocation” in many legal systems, is part of the wider phenomenon
of “victimology” which deflects blame away from the real culprits, and
contributes to the failure of the state to protect women from male sexual
violence.
WATER
Water is life ! It is a precondition for human, animal and plant life as well as an indispensable resource for the economy. Water also plays a fundamental role in the climate regulation cycle.
Protection of water resources, of fresh and salt water ecosystems and of the water we drink and bathe in is therefore one of the cornerstones of environmental protection in Europe. The stakes are high, the issues transcend national boundaries, and concerted action at the level of the EU is necessary to ensure effective protection.
.
It is also based on an evaluation of the implementation and achievements of the current EU water policy, including a Fitness Check of EU water policy in the framework of the Commission Smart Regulation approach. The European Innovation Partnership is a key building block.

Feng Shui : Ancient Wisdom Travels West.
Unit 5.
Feng Shui is the Chinese system that helps us live in harmony with the elements and the natural forces of earth. It means wind and water. It deals with balancing our Ch'i and turns around the forces of Ying Yang.
The distribution of the furniture, the colors used in each room, as well as the location of the building are fundamental in Feng Shui. All these things allow the environment to be in balance and to give us positive energy. Feng Shui uses colors, numbers, animal symbols and the five elements ( earth, water, fire, metal and wood ) in order to produce balance and harmony in our surroundings.
Nowadays this technique is widespread throughout the world and it is applied by specialized designers in the art of Feng Shui. The practice of Feng Shui focuses on the Ying-Yang energy.It is a disciplined widely known.
Some Feng Shui experts place and emphasis on the study of the forms: the mountains, the rivers, the structure of the house or the workplace , the location of the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, etc., even the placing of the furniture.
The principal objective of Feng Shui is based on that everything around us, even the most minimum details in furniture and decoration can favor or damage our goals of life. It consists also on using a space so that Ch'i or energy can flow with harmony and balance.
According to Feng Shui experts the way that we integrate ourselves to the environment is the key of the success or the reason of a failure. When we know the way that the universal energy flows , we can use it in our benefit. A window facing the door disperses Ch'i and it prevents us from concentrating.

When we know the way that the universal energy flows , we can use it in our benefit. A window facing the door disperses Ch'i and it prevents us from concentrating.

Toast to the Tap: The Water We Drink.
Unit 4.
Tap water is the water that comes through pipes from the public water system.Drinking water or water for human consumption is the water that can be consumed without restrictions and it doesn't represent a risk for health due to a purification process.

It should be clean, colorless, odorless and a nice flavor.
It should be aired, that's to say , it should contain air dissolved, otherwise it would be tasteless.
It shouldn't contain pathogenic germs capable of producing contagious diseases.
It should contain certain proportion of mineral salts (chlorides, sodium sulfates, calcium, potassium, etc).
It shouldn't contain nitrates or nitrites because these can come from the decomposition of organic substances.

The Bold and the Bashful.
Sometimes we don't feel satisfied with some aspects of our lives: professional, economical, relationships, etc., and although apparently we know what we want, it is not like that.
The term bold is used to describe somebody who stands out for the boldness that shows. As for bashfulness is a psychic state that affects the personal relations. It is considered as a negative behavior which limits the social development of those who experience it.
The bold is able to face without fear difficult situations with courage and value. Then people qualify as bold persons those who in their usual behavior and way of acting are audacious and daring. Shy people are likely to be lonely and depressed. According to psychologist Dr. Philip Zimbardo shyness is a state of annoyance caused by the expectation of possible negative consequences of the relations with the others.
So the bold is opposed to the bashful or introvert.On the other hand the one that carries out a bold behavior is able to go beyond the limits of boldness and audacity and be disrespectful with the others.

Tap water
Each day tap water is
the worst, the water that everybody has at home is polluted and sometimes you
find garbage on it, even when you use water to clean we have to use a rag in
the sink.
But some industry sells us tap water and we buy as potable water, for example in my city a lot of people buy water to a little truck and there are proofs that many of these water salesclerk go directly to the river to pick the water, and this water is really bad to our health so be careful and do not drink the water without purify
here l have a recent research about tap water: Pesticides in produce and drinking water may be playing a role in the increasing prevalence of food allergies, according to a new study.

here l have a recent research about tap water: Pesticides in produce and drinking water may be playing a role in the increasing prevalence of food allergies, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at 2,211 people
and found those in the top 25 percent for urine concentrations of chemical
dichlorophenols -- used to chlorinate tap water and keep pests off produce --
were also 80 percent more likely to have a food allergy.
"Adults can develop food
allergies even though they're not kids anymore," says allergist and study
author Dr. Elina Jerschow. "Adult allergies to foods are on the rise. That
certainly includes shellfish and fish allergies, but also peanuts. We don't
know what influences this development. But having been exposed to
dichlorophenols in our study suggests there could be some link."
Researchers believe
dichlorophenols may alter the composition of healthy bacteria growing in the
human gut, which plays an active role in immune system functioning.
It's the "hygiene
hypothesis" -- that allergies result from too few exposures to microbes in
our contemporary, sterile environments -- with a twist: the anti-bacterial
environment might also be found inside the intestines.
The study, published Monday in the
journal Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, doesn't confirm that
pesticides necessarily cause allergies or vice versa, but it does indicate a
possible association.
"Pesticides, and insecticides
in particular, are inherently toxic to human health," says Dr. Kenneth
Spaeth, director of the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Center at North
Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y.
"This has been known for a
long time in regards to large exposures. However, it is only in recent years
that the harmful effects of low-level exposure from pesticides have begun to be
revealed."

FENG SHUI
Feng Shui is more than arranging things in order to create balance. It goes beyond the physical meanings that almost everybody knows and enters into the spiritual environment, so that if things around you are out of balance you may feel uncomfortable, and feel your life out off balance, too.
For some people Feng Shui is a must have. For example, in class we were talking about Donald Trump, and we said that he doesn't make a move without Feng Shui. For someones it is religion, for others it is art. Religion or art, I agree it affects people lives somehow.
