For an irrigation system, they used water from the Nile River by blocking it with dams, ditches, or canals to move water to a selected area and built reservoirs to store the water ( Doc 3 ). To move this water they used a bucket attached to a weighted pole, called a Shaduf ( Doc 3 ). The Egyptians also built the pyramids as tombs for pharaohs and embalmed the wealthy’s bodies (Doc 4 ) as a way of preserving the bodies and to stop decaying. THeir achievements of developing an Irrigation system are still helps in the Middle East as a way of creating more arable land ( Doc 3

B which states that the Nile River flood cycles were “Akhet [flood season]”,” Peret [planting season]”, and “Shemu [harvest season]”and that these seasons provided a new batch of silt each year which created

Salt – the only rock we eat – has made a glittering, often surprising contribution to the history of humankind.

During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Chinese developed gunpowder, which made weapons possible. The creators of this powerful substance were alchemists, who practiced alchemy. Chinese alchemists had been experimenting with saltpeter because they believed that it would extended life. They discovered that it could be used to create an explosive powder called gunpowder.

Perhaps the reason why salt is not discussed earlier in the chapter is that humans require the nutrient of salt intake. Per author Jeremy Likeness in the article, the “The skinny on salt” at bodybuiliding.com informs that body needs the nutrient of sodium and chloride that cannot produce in the body. Furthermore, Likeness believes that it is not the sodium amount that is important rather the sodium in the diet is the ratio of sodium to potassium (Likeness). As sodium potassium effects, fluid balance in the body. As a result, if there is too little sodium it will cause the body to retain water. Unbeknownst to me, I did not realize how important it is to get the right amount of sodium into my diet. Perhaps Bushman wanted all readers to gain a basic understanding of physical activity and diet before

Essay #1 Salt of the Earth In the movie “Salt of the Earth”, which was directed by Herbert Biberman, there is a huge social conflict between a few groups of people, which were the miners, their wives, the Law authorities, and the extremely wealthy factory owners, the minors and their families were being mistreated by the factory CEO’s and this conflict made the miners and there wives more aware of there political structure in their environment and, made these people more politically conscious. My meaning of political consciousness is to socially be aware of the political ideologies that are revolving around you, and by knowing how these political ideologies affect your every day life as an individual or as a group of people. Being really politically disadvantaged can develop a person’s political consciousness and bring them to a conclusion to appose the dominant political ideologies of the society that they live in.

Ocean water sometimes is called saltwater because of its salt content. Sodium chloride, or table salt, gives ocean water its salty taste. Sodium chloride, on average, makes up about 90 percent of the salt content of ocean water. Other mineral salts found in ocean water include salts of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sulfate. The total salt content, or salinity, of ocean water is on average about 35 parts per thousand, or 3.5 percent. This means that a liter of ocean water contains about 35 grams of various salts. Ocean water also contains many other important minerals and nutrients that support life. Some of these are dissolved compounds of nitrogen and phosphorous. Some, like carbon dioxide and oxygen, are gases that are dissolved in ocean

Throughout the novels Cities of Salt by Abdelrahman Munif and Oil on Water by Helon Habila, oil is portrayed very differently. The characters of Cities of Salt are constantly subjected to the effects of oil, without ever seeing the commodity that is negatively impacting their lives. In Oil on Water, the characters are unable to get away from oil or its effects as it is a visible, determining factor in their lives. This difference in the visibility of oil consequently dictates whether characters are repulsed or intrigued by it. Since Rufus provides an unreliable narrative in Oil on Water, the reader can never fully trust his interpretation of events as he sometimes has “to make up the obscured moments as I go along, make up the faces and

The worst thing a parent can experience is when your own child commits a crime. Should parents forgive their own flesh and blood no matter what, and if so, what is unforgiveable? In what way can religion help the parent to forgive such a crime as rape or is it even possible? These dilemmas are mentioned in the short story “Spilled Salt”, written by Barbara Neely, published in 1990.

Salt is a raw material that is located below the surface. The salt deposits are dissolved in the water and then the brine is pumped and converted into salt crystals. When the brine is being boiled the liquid evaporates which leaves salt crystals and then they are later dried. A process like this takes about six weeks and can produce up to 45 tons per hour. After taking out all the scale buildup, only 75 percent of that salt is produced. Then we move to the round can production, which has two parallel high-speed production lines. There are 12 workers for each line and they break off into 2 identical lines. Each line can produce 9600 cans per hour. Because the production process has common procedures, workers on the line perform low-skilled, repetitive tasks that can be operated by 18 workers. These cans are in a shape of a cylinder with a top and bottom. The top part has a plastic pour spout and the cylinder is made from 2 sheets of chipboard. There is a two-step process in cutting the tub and first we cut it into long sections and then they are cut into can-sized pieces. The two sheets are glued together, which keeps the moisture out. The cans are then filled with salt and the pour spout is put in. The cans are then placed in pallets and shipped.
