generally relies upon the weather for its sources of power. Hydro-generators need a source of falling water or rain. Wind turbines rely on wind to turn the blades and solar panels need clear sky and sunshine. When weather doesn’t provide these kinds of climate conditions, it’s impossible for renewable energy sources make energy from them. Government of many countries have adopted comprehensive policy frameworks at national level to
to pledge an investment of £1 billion and Pernod Ricard, another company, to pledge an investment of £40 million (Morrison, 2013). However, the inevitable happened when there was severe shortage of water which caused the whisky distilleries to halt production. The main reason for this shortage of water was climatic change which caused early summers (Morrison, 2013). This rainless summer severely impacted several distilleries in particular pockets of Scotland. These distilleries saw
the assumptions we make about how the universe is arranged. Modern society has developed possible assumptions in regards as to how the universe came to be and in similar so did ancient cultures. These myths have an immense influence on people’s framework of reference. They all come from one early source and are divergent only because time and local cultural circumstances have exaggerated or modified them. Despite being separated by numerous geographical barriers, many cultures before and after Genesis
carbon capture and storage (CCS) comes in. CCS is the process of capturing waste CO2 from industrial processes such as fossil fuel or biomass utilising power plants to a site of storage. This could be depleted oil and gas reservoirs, deep unused saline water-saturated reservoir rocks or ocean storage. The CO2 could also be used
is the study of the origin of the universe in the sense of how it comes into being. At the foundation of nearly every culture is a creation myth that explains how Earth in its entity came to be. These myths have an immense influence on people’s framework of reference. They all come from one early source and are different only because time and local cultural circumstances have embellished or altered them. Despite being separated by numerous geographical barriers; many cultures before and after Genesis
over 200 mm less than the national average. Of that, only about 250 mm of precipitation makes it into the water system, with the rest being lost to evapotranspiration (Environment Agency, 2014). The basin sits atop the Chalk aquifer, which is the largest aquifer in Britain (Birks, Owen, & Arkell, 2001). Together with water from the Thames, water from the Chalk aquifer makes up the bulk of the water resources utilized for the London WRZ (Borgomeo et al., 2015). Abstraction from the aquifer in the nineteenth
on organizational innovation (Garcia-Morales, Jimenez-Barrionuevo, & Gutierrez-Gutierrez, 2012). Contingency Theory Contingency theories are based upon the current leadership situation and are subject to change depending on the goal to be achieved (Waters, 2013). In contingency theory, the effectiveness of the leadership style depends upon the task, the leader’s personality, and the composition of the group being led (McWorthy & Henningsen, 2014). Fiedler’s Contingency Theory emphasized the leader’s

According to the United Nations, “UN Peacekeeping helps countries torn by conflict create conditions for lasting peace” (United Nations ). Over the years, the United Nations has indeed laid the tools to promote peace and security in some of the world’s most vulnerable areas. Therefore, the United Nations is proud to have “built an impressive record of peacekeeping achievements over more than 60 years of our (their) existence, including winning the Nobel Peace Prize” (United Nations ). Nevertheless

To date it is considered one of the most difficult to control waterborne microorganism and contaminated water represents the major source of human infection (Fayer, 2004; Ramirez et al., 2004). Waterborne outbreaks in human from agricultural sources
