Answer:
The Central Valley Project (CVP) is a federal power and water management project in the U.S. state of California under the supervision of the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). It was devised in 1933 in order to provide irrigation and municipal water to much of California's Central Valley—by regulating and storing water in reservoirs in the northern half of the state (once considered water-rich but suffering water-scarce conditions more than half the year in most years), and transporting it to the water-poor San Joaquin Valley and its surroundings by means of a series of canals, aqueducts and pump plants, some shared with the California State Water Project (SWP). Many CVP water users are represented by the Central Valley Project Water Association.
In addition to water storage and regulation, the system has a hydroelectric capacity of over 2,000 megawatts, and provides recreation and flood control with its twenty dams and reservoirs. It has allowed major cities to grow along Valley rivers which previously would flood each spring, and transformed the semi-arid desert environment of the San Joaquin Valley into productive farmland. Freshwater stored in Sacramento River reservoirs and released downriver during dry periods prevents salt water from intruding into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta during high tide. There are eight divisions of the project and ten corresponding units, many of which operate in conjunction, while others are independent of the rest of the network. California agriculture and related industries now directly account for 7% of the gross state product for which the CVP supplied water for about half.
Many CVP operations have had considerable environmental consequences, including a decline in the salmon population of four major California rivers in the northern state, and the reduction of riparian zones and wetlands. Many historical sites and Native American tribal lands have been flooded by CVP reservoirs. In addition, runoff from intensive irrigation has polluted rivers and groundwater. The Central Valley Project Improvement Act, passed in 1992, intends to alleviate some of the problems associated with the CVP with programs like the Refuge Water Supply Program.
In recent years, a combination of drought and regulatory decisions passed based on the Endangered Species Act of 1973 have forced Reclamation to turn off much of the water for the west side of the San Joaquin Valley in order to protect the fragile ecosystem in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and keep alive the dwindling fish populations of Northern and Central California rivers. In 2017 the Klamath and Trinity rivers witnessed the worst fall run Chinook salmon return in recorded history, leading to a disaster declaration in California and Oregon due to the loss of the commercial fisheries. The recreational fall Chinook salmon fishery in both the ocean and the Trinity and Klamath rivers was also closed in 2017. Only 1,123 adult winter Chinook salmon returned to the Sacramento Valley in 2017, according to a report sent to the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). This is the second lowest number of returning adult winter run salmon since modern counting techniques were implemented in 2003. By comparison, over 117,000 winter Chinooks returned to spawn in 1969

Answer the Following questions. about white dolphin
1. Why is the white dolphin calf particularly special to Kara at this point in her life?
2. What does Kara’s behavior in the opening chapters tell us about the effects of her mother’s absence?
3. What are the most important things in Kara’s life and how are they threatened?
4. Which possible solutions you can suggest for Kara’s problems?
Answer:
Kara is from in a small fishing village on the coast. Everything in her life revolves around the sea. Her mom, a marine biologist has been missing since she went to protect dolphins being captured for aquariums and sea parks. Her dad is struggling to pay the bills and because of this Kara is about to lose everything left that she cares about, Moana their sailboat. Enter Felix, a Londoner who has CP and is resentful about being forced to leave his friends for a small town of nothing. Sailing might be the thing that break the boredom and that’s how he and Kara connect in instant dislike.
Not all kids are welcoming, appreciative or kind. Jake and Ethan are those kids. They make everyone uncomfortable through teasing and humiliation. Kara is not sorry she broke Jake’s nose - she simply couldn't stand to hear him say one more nasty thing about her missing mother, or her out-of-work father. Breaking his nose only highlights the tensions between their families. Dredging the reef will mean fisherman can reel in more money. That's what the town needs according to Jake’s fisherman dad. He has several trawlers and as soon as the dredging ban is lifted he is going to farm the sea. He sees that as his right. Kara does not see it as farming: farmers sow, dredgers only reap.
School is about to end – thankfully in Kara’s mind. Everything is in turmoil in her life. She looks to the sea for some calm and she finds a joyous pod of dolphin dancing in the cove. With them she see a white yearling. Amazing! Kara looks to sea each day for calm and it at one of those times she discovers the albino dolphin washed ashore. It had been snared in an old fishing net, is severely hurt and close to death. Felix finds them there and together they work with vets and specialists to save her and reunite her with her mother. This rescue effort sets off a chain of events that might save the reef – but certainly not without heartache and danger.
Gill Lewis is veterinarian and a writer. Her knowledge of what it would take to save a dolphin and her understanding of the fragile connections between all life add real depth to her stories. The pungent sounds and smell of the sea surround you and bring you to the shore in Cornwall, but you’ll be thinking about the importance of all life around you when you close the covers.

Can someone Write me a horror story that would describe all forms of contamination that lead to foodborne illnesses.
Answer:
Okay, sure thing.
Explanation:
It was cold, unbearably unwarm. A young girl going through adolescence is looking for shelter. Her parents are no where to be seen, must be hidden in the large snow banks. Making it to shelter, she enters a room of what looks to be a school. This school looked particularly old but she didn't have anywhere else to go so she slepted until the sun shone in her deep green eyes. It was morning, the sound of footsteps were coming closer and closer. A group of girls whose makeup was flawless and they were all a size small were standing above her. They taunted her, shouting "foodborne" ! She ran as fast as she could, until the sounds and murmurs of voices faded. All of a sudden, she's in a town, a town of modernist views. Signs for "are you foodborne", "you have a illness, get out", and "crawl away foodborne illness creep". Her words that the girls in the old school told her came to haunt her on big billboards. No one knows why this girl is foodborne, the girls only assumed. She found shelter in a nearby barn, that barn was filled of signs. That barn she entered was filled with her name and her family as targets on a list of others to taunt about having a foodborne illness. No where to run, no where to hide, the taunt leaks and creeps.
Compute g at a distance of 4.5 x 10^7m from the center of a spherical object whose mass is 3.0 x 10^23 kg
Answer:
[tex]g=0.0099\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the object, [tex]m=3\times 10^{23}\ kg[/tex]
Distance, [tex]r=4.5\times 10^7\ m[/tex]
We need to compute the value g from the center of the object to the distance r.
The formula to calculate g is given by :
[tex]g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}[/tex]
G is Universal Gravitational Constant
Substitute all the values in the above formula.
[tex]g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 3\times 10^{23}}{(4.5\times 10^7)^2}\\\\=0.0099\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the required value of g is [tex]0.0099\ m/s^2[/tex].
Answer:
0.0099 m/s/s or m/s^2
Explanation:
Work with the formula first and work out where each component is supposed to go.
GM
G = --------
r^2
Then you want to plug in:
(6.67 ⋅ 10^-11) (3.0 ⋅ 10^23 kg)
------------------------------------------
(4.5 ⋅ 10^7)^2
The Solve to get an answer of:
0.0099 m/s/s
What’s for Lunch?
Marcia Amidon Lusted
Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to eat the gourmet food described on the school’s online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn’t convince them that the food wasn’t as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader’s Short Documentary About School Lunch.
Truth in Advertising?
"The city’s Department of Education says that it’s committed to providing ‘delicious and nutritious meals’ through their food service program. But the lunch being served at my school was nothing like what they were advertising on their web site," Zachary, now 11, says in the documentary’s trailer. "I told [my parents] that’s not what they were actually serving me," he said. "But I don’t think they believed me." For example, an "oven-baked pizza bagel with tricolor salad" was really nothing more than a slice of pizza and a wisp of lettuce. Sometimes there was no connection between the menu and what Zachary actually got. "Cheesy lasagna rolls with tomato basil sauce, roasted spinach with garlic and herbs" was, in reality, just a plastic-wrapped grilled cheese sandwich, all alone on a foam plate.
"When I came back home and showed them the footage, they were like, ugh!" Zachary said. His dad, an amateur filmmaker, started helping Zachary transform his video footage into a film. It won several awards, and Zachary also made appearances on television shows like Good Morning America.
Not Perfect, But Better
Let’s face it: many times school lunches just aren’t going to taste as good as they sound. Students also complain that with lunches that follow the new school lunch guidelines, there just isn’t enough food. Smaller portions, more fruits and veggies, and fewer calories leave some kids, especially teenagers, still hungry after eating their lunch. A group of students in Kansas even wrote a music video called "We Are Hungry," where they sing about their stomachs growling after lunch and how they’re collapsing on the sports field because they haven’t eaten enough.
However, the new federal lunch guidelines do mandate meals that are better for students, with less sodium, more whole grains, fewer calories, and more fruits and vegetables, as well as skim or 1 percent milk. These are a definite improvement over school lunches of not that many years ago, which once stuck with fare like burgers, French fries, and chicken nuggets. Some schools even allowed fast food outlets like McDonald’s and Pizza Hut to operate mini-restaurants in their cafeterias, or supply their products for students. Many schools have also reconsidered vending machines filled with sugary sodas, candy, and chips, replacing them with water and healthy snacks.
The Lunch Forecast
The new school lunches are designed to help students eat better, and combat health problems like obesity in kids. Ideally, a healthy school lunch should also taste good ... or at least as good as the description on the menu. It should also keep students from taking a trip to the vending machine or a nearby convenience store as soon as lunch is over, because they’re still hungry. But will the lunches served in your cafeteria ever taste as good as a fast food burger or a gourmet meal cooked at home? You be the judge.
In the text, the author keeps it interesting and engaging whilst telling you a silly story. Her overall goal in writing this was to inform you; the story of Zachary, what schools are doing now for lunches, and what they should do. There is a hint of persuasion in the text as well, in which she goes over the changes schools should make in their cafeterias. An example from the text shows this persuasion, "Ideally, a healthy school lunch should also taste good ... or at least as good as the description on the menu." She does an excellent job in doing this as well, painting a vivid picture for the audience as well as keeping you engaged.

What do the speaker and those in attendance expect to experience when "the last Onset" occurs in "I heard a fly buss when I died"?
Answer:
They expect to experience when the king arrives in the room. This is likely a religious belief that God takes the spirit of the dead with him.
Explanation:
The poem, "I heard a fly buzz- when I died," by Emily Dickinson tries to capture the thoughts of the dead in the event of his death. He imagines a crowd of mourners by his bedside and the stillness that accompanied such moments.
He and the mourners with him expect to experience the last Onset when the King arrives. Given the widely held belief in those days, this is likely a reference to the immortality of the soul where God takes the dead along with him.

In this speech Roosevelt is advising journalists to write honestly and not always muckrake.
In the final paragraph, how does Roosevelt attempt to persuade his audience?
O By appealing to the audience's emotions
O By appealing to the audience's sense of right and wrong
O By appealing to the audience's good taste
O By appealing to the audience's logic
There are, in the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man whether politician or business man, every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful. . . To assail the great and admitted evils of our political and industrial life with such crude and sweeping generalizations as to include decent men in the general condemnation means the searing of the public conscience. There results a general attitude either of cynical belief in and indifference to public corruption or else of a distrustful inability to discriminate between the good and the bad. Either attitude is fraught with untold damage to the country as a whole. The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well-nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad. There is nothing more distressing to every good patriot, to every good American, than the hard, scoffing spirit which treats the allegation of dishonesty in a public man as a cause for laughter. Such laughter is worse than the crackling of thorns under a pot, for it denotes not merely the vacant mind, but the heart in which high emotions have been choked before they could grow to fruition.

Answer:
Meat has been a staple food in the diet of mankind since the early ages of civilization. In the article “Is Any Meat Good to Eat?” by Sarah Boesveld, she interviews author Jonathan Safran to share his opinion on eating meat and factory farming. He believes that “...if [people] just ate according to the values they already have, then factory farming would disappear.” Whether or not people realize the sources from which meat in modern day society comes from, they cannot deny the fact that meat is delectable. Sadly, many people who are aware of where their meat comes from will argue that it is unethical to eat meat that is grown purely to satisfy the hunger of people. The ethics of eating meat should not be considered because of the extreme…show more content…
Humans do not eat other human beings because that would break down our organized society. We stay together, just as other species would, and breed. Morals and ethics are ideas that humans created cognitively. If one considered all animals to be just animals regardless of their intelligence, then the concept of morals and ethics would not exist. Despite the absurdity of meat eating ethics, there are other important reasons for meat in our diet.
Meat is part of a balanced diet. If humans stopped breeding animals for meat, then we would have to hunt all the wild animals for food. The wild animals will be hunted into extinction because of gluttonous meat-eaters. Because of factory farming, meat is now available at all time at the super market. This makes meat convenient to obtain and eat nutritionally. Meat contains all the essential amino acids that we need every day to remain as healthy individuals. Minerals and vitamins that are also beneficial to the growth and development of the human body are found in meat too. Eating specific types of meat such as fish provides healthy natural oils that cannot be found anywhere else. Abandoning meat as a source of nutrition means we will need to compensate with another source of sustenance

Love is a feeling of affection towards other people or animals. Love conquers everything and is important to our daily survival on Earth. With love, we can believe in our abilities and strive to become a better version of ourselves.
Love doesn't hurt, love is unique, love doesn't segregate. We are all equal in the eyes of love. Love creates happiness. We are joyful around those that we love.
When we love others, we would do everything possible to always see them smile. Love beings good emotions, and brightens up our day. As individuals, we should show love and concern towards everybody we meet in our journey of life. We need love everyday and a nation built on love would achieve great things.
