Nature of American Poverty Poverty in America seems to be unreal due to the country’s vast resources and opportunities. America is known to be rich as a nation, and also its citizens make the list of the wealthiest people in the world. However, poor people also exist in the country, which creates a gap between the citizens of the country. This is because poverty depends on people’s work. This paper will give the characteristics of poverty in America. Ben Franklin’s quotation says that God helps those who help themselves (Harrington, np). He meant that God helps the people who work hard but abandons the lazy. This encourages people to work hard because they have the blessings of God by doing so. It also warns people that if they do not work, they will not have anything from God. This shows that God multiplies what you have already achieved by your efforts. I agree with his idea because it encourages people to the best of their efforts to produce something for their livelihood. It also improves the livelihood of the people…

MASSULEAKS 001/2019 Massuleaks. Sometimes I find it funny that I don’t care if some random geezer whips out his manhood and proceeds to take a pee by the roadside. Being a man, especially in a country where sanitation isn’t one of the top priorities of a very corrupt and hypocritical government, it calls for some natural adaptations, one of them being having to find some quick place to urinate. If you’re a man, then by now, you would know that no pee is as refreshing and natural as one taken behind a corner or behind your own house. Secondly, if you’re spending a whole day in the center of Nairobi, then you should be prepared with fifty shillings or so to cater to your calls of nature while in town. That translates to 1500 shillings per month; somebody’s house rent, to take a piss. And with the ongoing buzz about men being dogs, I have a feeling these ladies could have been right all this time. Wildlife researchers have given constant anecdotes on canines marking territory using their urine. Haven’t…

The native species of the Everglades include the freshwater alligators, crocodiles, and birds such as the great blue heron. However, the existence if non-native species in Everglades has thrown off balance in nature. The Burmese python is one of the new predators which has had significant damage to the ecosystem. The Burmese pythons are natives of the Southern region of Asia and were released to the Florida Everglades by pet owners who wanted to get rid of them. It is essential to understand the damage that is brought about by the pythons to ensure measures are taken to eliminate or reduce their presence in the ecosystem.

A female python can hatch 30-100 annually, making their numbers to increase rapidly. The pythons have eaten many of the native wild animals…
The earth Science The earth Science topic that I am interested in researching is on Earthquake. An earthquake refers to the shaking of the surface of the earth as a result of the energy released from the earth’s lithosphere. Earthquakes can be of different ranges; some can be small that they cannot be felt while others can be violent enough to destroy an entire city. I will base my research on what causes earthquakes. I would also research on why some places receive earthquakes occasionally while others rarely fell or get earthquakes. I will also research on what causes some earthquakes to be small in size while others are very violent. My research will also base on the different types of earthquakes, the aftermath of an earthquake, if the earthquake can be predicted, and if they can get avoided. I would base my research on sources like books and articles that talk about the earthquake. The first book I will use is Susan Hough’s books on the science of Earthquake prediction. The book speaks on different kinds of earthquakes and…
effects of global warming, adaptation, and vulnerability Part A: Critical Reviews Reflection #1Climate Change 2014 Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability Part A: Global and Sectoral Aspects Climate change is now a confirmed issue from the recent ecological changes. The report by Working Group II address the effects of global warming, adaptation, and vulnerability. The report employed socio-economic, technical, and scientific literature to create an updated comprehensive report (Adger et al., 2014). It was important for the report to include these issues as climate change will affect everyone. By taking that approach, the Working Group II created a material that can help all stakeholders in decision-making. Most studies on climate change do focus on immediate effects such as unpredictable and heavy precipitation, temperature rise, and the impact on animals and plants. According to Adger et al. (2014), the report got more detail to highlight the effects of global warming on international security, travel, and trade. The focus on other ignored issues besides the natural ecosystem or human endeavor gives the report more credit. Whenever food supply is destabilized because of climate change,…
The role of federal versus state/local government agencies during a major disaster or event Often there is a conflict between federal, state, and local jurisdiction as to who is responsible for responding during a crisis. Describes the role of federal versus state/local government agencies during a major disaster or event Describe what federal agencies you might find in a localized state disaster response, and what their respective roles are Things to consider might be what triggers federal involvement versus a state-only reply. When a disaster occurs, the local government takes the following measures. It provides the initial emergency response through its service agencies. It activates the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). Thirdly, it coordinates the response with public and private organizations. Fourth, it notifies state emergency management of the scope of the situation and activates mutual aid. Fifth proclaims a local state of emergency and requests assistance from the state if the situation demands. If the State government agrees that there is a need to intervene in a crisis, it reviews and evaluates…
