In their introduction to water pollution, Water Pollution and Society, David Krantz and Brad Kifferstein of the University of Michigan presented estimates that at least 5 million people die of water borne diseases while 1.5 billion people do not have adequate safe drinking water. This is how far gone the planet where the effects of water pollution are concerned. Ocean pollution is another type of contamination the planet faces. The vast oceans have become the biggest garbage pit. According to Greenpeace, 45000 man-made chemicals have found their way to the oceans and there is a floating trash the size of Texas. Plastic wastes, old tires, bottles, sludge from sewage and every imaginable waste are out there swirling along with the vortex that is the North Pacific Gyre. The top 10 most polluted country are Linfen - China, Haina - Dominican Republic, Ranipet - India, Mailuu-Suu - Kyrgyzstan, La Oroya - Peru, Dzerzinsk - Russia, Rudnaya Pristan - Russia, Chernobyl - Ukraine, Kabwe - Zambia.

We'll show you how to narrow down your options, find the right phone, carrier and plan for you so you end up with the right smartphone -- and maybe even some money left in your pocket. A visitor examines an HTC smartphone at the Vodafone stand at the CeBIT Technology Fair on March 3, 2010 in Hannover, Germany. This seems like a pretty silly statement, but the first step in picking the right smartphone is to make sure you actually need one. Smartphones are expensive, and so are the coverage plans they require. It's easy to use more data than your plan allows. Wind up with expensive overage charges. Even if you don't go over, you could end up paying for a data plan that you barely use. So, how do you know if you need a smartphone? Look at how you use your current cell phone. Maybe you only use your phone for talking. The occasional text message.|It is of vital importance that one comprehends the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war as a protracted conflict that began despite Putin's word against invasion of Kyiv. In the wake of Russia-led missile explosions toward and highly-anticipated takeover of Ukraine, it is of vital importance that one comprehends the ongoing issue as a protracted conflict that began despite Vladimir Putin's word against invasion and use of force. Based on statements by then Russian leaders, it is concluded that Russia has been fearful of Ukraine's 'possible' integration with NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) which would amount to a threat to Russia's integrity to an extent. It is pertinent to mention here that relations between Ukraine and NATO commenced in 1992, while apprehensions on the Russian invasion has prevailed. How did Russia plan to invade Ukraine? The military deployment of the Russian Army along the Ukrainian border and the rebel region of Donbas, comprising Donetsk and Luhansk is indicative of two denominations of Ukraine. Impacted by the undue influence of the Kremlin, Ukraine is divided amongst people who perceive Ukraine as a part of Europe and those who see it intrinsically connected to Russia.

Discovered in 2000 by a couple of miners, Cueva de los Cristales is part of an active mine, and it gets so hot down there that the cave researchers and journalists who have gotten a peek have had to wear full protective gear. Next on the list: miles and miles and miles of caves. Flowstone and stalactites form the Frozen Niagara section of Mammoth Cave. It took 10 million years for Kentucky's Green River to create Mammoth Cave, and it shows: Mammoth Cave lives up to its name. And that's just the part of Mammoth that's has already been explored. It's not just extreme in length, either. Mammoth Cave boasts some interesting life forms, like eyeless fish, shrimp and beetles as well as spiders with no pigmentation. There are tremendous columns, like the 192-foot (59-meter) Mammoth Dome, and rivers running through the lowest levels of the cave.|The morning after receiving de Lucas’ email, I wake up to a long WhatsApp message from Bishop. "I think this has been sent anonymously, for whatever reason, by someone who works in the lab mentioned," he writes. He points to the CNB heading on the paper, the Spanish words in the letter, and the lack of a postcode on the envelope as evidence that the sender was from Spain. Even if the letter wasn’t genuine, Bishop claims, someone had found his teeth, swabbed them for DNA, and returned them to him from Spain. The notion of an anonymous teeth-returning vigilante is appealing. Who hasn't been dismayed after losing a prized possession while on holiday? If there is a masked DNA-swabbing hero out there reuniting holidaymakers with their lost trinkets, then it means nothing is truly lost. Of course, they’d have to get the DNA in the first place. Retrieving enough DNA to identify someone from 11-year-old lost dentures is theoretically possible but extremely unlikely, says Denise Syndercombe Court, a professor of forensic genetics at King’s College London. On other shows, it's the opposite, with staff writers writing individual episodes and the show runner revising them all himself. Either way, when a TV drama screenwriter is credited with an episode, you can be sure that at least some of the lines were actually written by that person, which isn't the case with TV comedy screenwriters. Feature film screenwriters are much more solitary creatures. Film screenwriters work closely with directors and producers to develop an idea, but once the story and characters are defined, the screenwriter is allowed to go off and write more or less in peace. Of course, he may be asked to submit several revisions before the script is accepted. A screenwriter may work for years on a single script, but the compensation is considerable. For films produced by major Hollywood studios, it's not uncommon for several screenwriters to be credited with the same script. Unless two of those writers are a writing team, it's unlikely that any of them actually worked together on the script. Whether you opt for SugarSync or Dropbox really depends on what you want from your storage provider. While both apps have their strong points -- Dropbox offers better security, while SugarSync has a better sharing model -- those looking for easy-to-use file storage are probably best suited with Dropbox; tech-savvy users who need some additional features will probably be happier with SugarSync.

We may never know if we rely on space travel -- distances between the stars are unimaginably vast, and our most advanced ideas for space rockets, such as light propulsion, nuclear propulsion, solar sails and matter-antimatter engines, are many years away from becoming reality. How can we detect signs of extraterrestrial (ET) life? One way is to basically eavesdrop on any radio communications coming from beyond Earth. Radio is not only a cheap way of communicating, but also a sign of a technological civilization. Humanity has been unintentionally announcing its presence since the 1930s by way of the radio waves. Television broadcasts that travel from Earth into outer space everyday. In the movie "Contact", Jodie Foster's character, Ellie Arroway, searches the heavens with several large radio telescopes. When she receives a radio message from a distant star, there are profound implications for humanity.

Russia launched an all-out invasion of Ukraine by land, air and sea in the biggest attack by one state against another in Europe since World War Two. The United States and Europe have promised the toughest sanctions on Russia in response. Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch. At least three major buyers of Russian oil were unable to open letters of credit from Western banks to cover purchases on Thursday, sources told Reuters. Brent crude was up $8.15, or 8.4%, at $104.99 a barrel as of 1221 GMT, having touched a high of $105.79. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude jumped $7.33, or 8%, to $99.43. Brent and WTI hit their highest since August and July 2014 respectively. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo. RL is a machine learning technique aimed to train smart agents able to interact with a given environment (e.g., a game) and to take decisions to achieve a goal (e.g., win the game). Recently, researchers started using RL not only to play games but also to test them and, in general, to improve their quality. The common idea behind these approaches is to reduce the human effort in playtesting (i.e., the process of testing a new game to look for bugs before releasing it to the market) using intelligent agents. While agents are usually trained to play a game with the goal of winning, the aforementioned works trained the agent to not only advance in the game but also to explore it to search for bugs. For example, Ariyurek et al. Ariyurek et al., 2021) combine RL and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to find issues in the behavior of a game, given its design constraints and game scenario graph (provided by the game developer).|The auto industry (plus Google) is constantly bringing us new technologies. So what's in store for future cars? See pictures of car gadgets. In the technology world, the latest advancement is only as good as the next thing coming down the line. The auto industry is constantly bringing us new technologies, whether it be for safety, entertainment, usefulness or simply for pure innovation. Many new car technologies are either specifically built for safety or at least have some sort of safety focus to them. Some of the latest car innovations we've found are some truly exciting technologies that could revolutionize not just the automotive industry but human transportation in general. Well, we don't know for sure, but based on what's currently being tested and what's on the road today, we have an idea of some new technology that will most likely make it into production. Some of it will help keep us safe, some will give us information like never before and some will let us kick back and just enjoy the ride.
