Acueducto



Well , long time ago I have a visit of some people of the "Acueducto" of Bogota. So they told us some details really important of the water , like these ones:


-In Bogota there are like 100 of rivers and brokens.


-The human body have more of the 50% of weight in water.


- The donkey or the horse help to transpot the water from a place to another .

-The water is purified with chlorine


Long time ago , still the people in Bogota they do not have an watering service company like "Acueducto" so the people have to go to the lake or river nearer to their house , so the people in order to transport the water they use a jar and walk to their house or they take the jars and put on a horse or a donkey , but there was a problem with that option because when the horse walks, the water fell off the jar.


So ,after some time they do like an aqueduct that pass trough the city of Bogota but the water combine with dirt and the people that take the water from that type of aqueduct ,so that water was infected and the people get sick and die .But now the tubes are less dangerous because they are made of plastic and the water goes with to much pressure so it do not let to the infections or bacterias produce.

The Water

Water is a chemical substance that is composed of hydrogen and oxygen 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 gaseous state,water vapor or steam. Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. On Earth, it is found mostly in oceans and other large water bodies, with 1.6% of water below ground in aquifers and 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of solid and liquid water particles suspended in air), and precipitation.Oceans hold 97% of surface water, glaciers and polar ice caps 2.4%, and other land surface water such as rivers, lakes and pounds 0.6%. A very small amount of the Earth's water is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products.

Water on Earth moves continually through a cycle of evaporation ,precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Over land, evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land.

Clean, fresh drinking water is essential to human and other lifeforms. 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 per capita. 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.

Abraham Lincoln´s Details



In Springfield in 1839 Lincoln met Mary Todd. Three years later they were married and over the next 11 years had four children:

1.Robert (1843-1926)

2.Edward (1846-1850)

3.William (1850-1862)

4.Thomas (1853-1871)

Abraham Lincoln personal life

Abraham Lincoln spent less than 12 months in all attending schools as a youth growing up on the frontier. Each one was very small and the lessons were most often taught orally and schools thus got the nickname "blab" schools.

Lincoln was the tallest president. Artist Francis B. Carpenter measured Lincoln's height in the White House. He measured six feet three and three-quarter inches in his stocking feet. Most sources round it off to 6 feet 4 inches. Lincoln's average weight was 180 pounds.

Abraham Lincoln was brought up by Baptist parents and occasionally attended Presbyterian churches in Springfield and Washington. He was married by an Episcopal minister. However, he never joined a church during his life. He sporadically attended services with his wife; she was a church member, and he was not.

Lincoln was the first president to be assassinated.

The items in Abraham Lincoln's pockets the night of the assassination were as follows: a pocketknife, a linen handkerchief, a sleeve button, a fancy watch fob, two pairs of spectacles, a lens polisher, a tiny pencil, and a brown leather wallet (one section was engraved "U.S. Currency" and another section was engraved "Notes"). The wallet contained a Confederate five dollar bill, and nine old newspaper clippings. Included among these clippings were two articles of praise and five others dealing with the issues that were on Lincoln's mind during his final months.

Some little details about Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln was the first president to be born beyond the boundaries of the original 13 states. He was the first president born in Kentucky.Lincoln was the first president to wear a beard. Lincoln vetoed or pocket vetoed only seven bills during his presidency .In 1911 a spectacular fire destroyed the railroad car that transported Lincoln's remains back to Springfield. Lincoln could quote many parts of the Bible, but his absolute favorite book was Psalms. His favorite poem was Mortality written by William Knox. The name of Abraham Lincoln's horse is stated differently in different sources. I have seen the horse called "Old Bob" or "Old Robin" or sometimes just "Robin" or "Bob." The most frequently used one, though, is "Old Bob."Abraham Lincoln earned his first dollar ferrying passengers to a steamer on the Ohio River in 1827.
Abraham licoln´´s life


Abraham Lincoln was born in February 12, 1809, in Kentucky. He was the son of Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln, and he was named for his paternal grandfather. Thomas Lincoln was a carpenter and farmer. As Abraham grew up, he loved to read and preferred learning to working in the fields. In Springfield in 1839 Lincoln met Mary Todd. Three years later they were married and over the next 11 years had four children: Robert,Edward,William,Thomas.

declining interest in politics was renewed by the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. He made an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate but received some support for the Republican vice-presidential nomination in 1856. Also, in 1856 Lincoln gave his Lost Speech. He opposed the Dred Scott decision in 1857 and gave his famous "House Divided" Speech on June 16, 1858. Additionally, he engaged in a series of debates with Stephen A. Douglas in 1858. Lincoln was against the spread of slavery into the territories but was not an abolitionist. Douglas won the Senatorial race, but Lincoln gained national recognition. In 1860 he furthered his national reputation with a successful speech at the Cooper Institute in New York.
