Reflection of Acueduct

In the visit of the people of the Acueduct we have learned lots of things of the water. One thing we learned was that the transportation of the water is very difficould because first it is on a river, then it is cleaned by the acueduct people in huge tanks, then it goes on a tube and it arrives to our sewers on our houses.

Other thing i liked was that the acueduct purify the water with wastes that comes from our homes in different tanks outside the city and than the water is send to the bogota river without many obstructions or wastes.

I found this process very interesting because since the water enters the tube, the water takes 16 hours to arrive to our homes very clean and drinkable because they have already cleaned it.

It was a very good experience to talk about what do the most important enterprice of water in bogotá do to improve the quality of water in our city.

WATER

Water principal characteristics:

Water is a chemical substance that is composed of oxigen and hydrogen and is vital for all known forms of life.

In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state, ice, and a gaseus state, water vapor or steam.

Clean, fresh drinking water is essencial to human and other life forms. Access to save drinking water has inproved steadly and substancially over the last decades in almost avery psrt of the world.

Earth's water percentage:

1.6% of water below grund in aquifers.
0.001% in the air.
97% in oceans.
2.4% in glaciers and polar ice caps.
0.6% rivers, lakes and ponds.
2.75% fresh water.
0.04% In the atmosphere.

Fresh and non-fresh water

Only 2.7% of the water on eath is fresh water, about 2/3 of its frozen in glaciers, a quarter is groundwater and only 0.005 percent of it is surface water. Fresh water lakes, most notably lake baikal in russia and the great lakes in north america, contain 7/8 of this fresh surface water. Swaps have most of the balance with only a small amount in rivers, most notably the amazon river.

Clean, fresh drinking water is essential to human and other life forms. Access to safe drinking water has improved steadily and substantially over the last decades in almost every part of the world. There is a clear correlation between access to safe water and GDP per capita. However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability. A recent report (November 2009) suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%. Water plays an important role in the world economy, as it functions as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances and facilitates industrial cooling and transportation. Approximately 70% of freshwater is consumed by agriculture.

The tree of the wishes

The history says there was a tree which get real all the wishes, if someone give the tree, tears his wishes will come true and his nightmares will dissapear.

One day a woman was going to take water from a river, she was a poor woman and his husband maltreat her, when she went to the river, she saw a kind of seed so she said "I wish this seed can improve my live" and she started crying and crying, she watered the seed with tears every day...

As the years passed, the seed got bigger and bigger until getting into a tree. The problems of the woman got lost, she died happy.

Since then, the people who cried near the tree got a free wish.

The legend of the scaring cheese

One day, Mike woke up at one o'clock in the morning, he was feeling hungry so he went down stairs for eating something, in the refrigerator was a piece of cheese, it was yellow but Mike did not mind, he ate it, he was too much hungry. When he felt full again, he went up stairs for sleeping and he slept.

When he woke up again, he went to the bathroom and he took a bath, when he went out, he put on his clothes and then he relalized he was late to work.

When he arrived to work he saw his things in the floor and out of the building, he saw a note pasted in his backpack it says:

Hi, its your boss:

I have fired you because you were to much late, its two o'clock in the afternoon!!!

I am sorry for you, but I require good workers and accomplished.

Mike also loosed Carly, his girlfriend but she told him he have no work so they could not even be friends.

Mike had not finishing paying his house, so the bank confiscated it until he pay the bank all money.

Mike was so sad, his live was getting to the floor, he asked a friend called Manuel what was happening to his live, Manuel told Mike it was work of the ghosts but Manuel was not sure so he told Mike to go to a BELIEVER, Manuel gave Mike the adress.

Mike at first was not sure for going there
, but then he thought better and he agreed, when he got there, a woman told him it was a work of the ghosts, she told him that the legend says every year a ghost relive and a human died, the ghosts turm themselfs into a kind of food they liked when they were alive and the human who eat it will die, the ghost will take his body and the soul of the human went to the hell.

Abraham Lincoln's Biography

Abraham Lincoln’s Live

Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery. Before his election in 1860 as the first Republican president, Lincoln had been a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, a member of the United States House of Representatives, and twice an unsuccessful candidate for election to the U.S. Senate. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. His tenure in office was occupied primarily with the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Six days after the large-scale surrender of Confederate forces under General Robert E. Lee, Lincoln became the first American president to be assassinated.

Lincoln had closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Historians have concluded that he handled the factions of the Republican Party well, bringing leaders of each faction into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. Lincoln successfully defused the Trent affair, a war scare with Britain late in 1861. Under his leadership, the Union took control of the border slave states at the start of the war. Additionally, he managed his own reelection in the 1864 presidential election.

Copperheads and other opponents of the war criticized Lincoln for refusing to compromise on the slavery issue. Conversely, the Radical Republicans, an abolitionist faction of the Republican Party, criticized him for moving too slowly in abolishing slavery. Even with these opponents, Lincoln successfully rallied public opinion through his rhetoric and speeches; his Gettysburg Address became an iconic symbol of the nation's duty. At the close of the war, Lincoln held a moderate view of Reconstruction, seeking to speedily reunite the nation through a policy of generous reconciliation. Lincoln has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest of all U.S. Presidents.
