Out of the 2,208 people on the titanic only about 700 passengers/crew survived. But, who were those people? They will be generally remembered for the horrors they went through, but we should honor them with knowing their full experiences the ship. One of the ladies on the titanic was named Rose Amelie Icard. She was a woman who worked as a maid for a woman named Mrs. Martha Evelyn Stone. She was at the age of 38 when she stepped aboard the titanic for the first time. She got on the titanic with a first class ticket along with Mrs. Stone. After feeling the ice hit the ship and knowing something was wrong, they stepped out to the corridor to ask someone if they knew what was going on. The stuart said that to his knowledge nothing was going on. So they went back into the room without a warning of the things that were going to happen.

Her hands were bleeding and her wrists ached. By the morning and all of them mourning they saw the ship “The Carpathia” and got on board with the other few survivors. Many years later after getting home safely , her family encouraged her to write down the accounts of that time. So she wrote a first person accounts of the events. After she died a person bought the letter at an auction. He knew how to speak french and english so he translated it. Part of the letter

Abstract This research report studies desalination in Australia within the scope of the research objectives. The needs of Australia for safe and reliable water quantities continue to increase following the expected population expansion by the year 2050. Further, with the absence of other sustainable water sources, desalination remains the best option that can meet domestic, public and industry water demand. It does not only address the immediate water needs but also plays a significant role in addressing Australia’s long-term issue of water security.
Sighing, she sat down and continued to look over her papers of old news and letters to the column that she co-ran with her cousin, Analisa. She picked up a letter that caught her attention, the paper seemed old. It had the appearance of something from a movie she had once watched. She turned it over to see that it had been in fact addressed to her, not her column, but her specifically. She opened the envelope and pulled out the parchment

The man didn’t understand her because she was speaking Italian, but Marie soon realised that and started speaking English.

Marie was scared, but she had to find a way out. She thought of a plan and hoped it would work, but it was very risky so she was scared, but it was better than just sitting there, waiting to die.

Passengers relied on science and industry to keep them afloat. When the crew went from room to room throwing life jackets at passengers and ordering them to put them on, this was considered as just a precaution. Some passengers asked to have tea ready for them when the return to their rooms. When people could see the Titanic was sinking, still there was no alarm.

The book, The Name of The Rose, transpires in a medieval abbey located between “Pomposa and Conques,” around 1327, in which strange events befall on the monks which appear to mysteriously correlate to the Book of Revelation (Loc 111). The author of the book, Umberto Eco, employs medieval theology to portray philosophical ideas, such as the postmodern concept which theorizes that all text relates to one another. Through the application of architectural imagery, the illustrative characteristics of animals, the application of numerology, latin quotation and erroneous interpretation of scripture, Eco composed a masterpiece that loosely parallels events and language located within the Book of Revelation. Utilizing the circumstances of the period, the author hints at the harmful nature of futuristic exegesis of biblical narrative, especially with a focus on the apocalyptic text of the Book of Revelation. Apocalyptic literature, often ornamented with intricate visions, symbolism and numerology, is a classification of cataclysmic Jewish writings which incorporate impressions of heaven along with revelations. Through the depiction of the conflagration of the abbey, elegant symbolism and extravagant visions within, The Name of the Rose exhibits idiosyncrasies of the apocalyptic genre. The Book of Revelation, which contains a profuse amount of homogenous attributes to The Name of the Rose, is also suitable to the apocalyptic labelling. Due to the vastness of allusions between the two
The world has a population of 7 billion people and is still rising at 2.5 people per second (). Africa has 1,033 billion people as of 2011 () and also is on the rise. Recently the growth in population has become more and more serious as the world is biophysically limited, though it is said that it can provide for us all equally, the distribution of goods in very uneven. Even with this inequality people continue to procreate as they see it as a God given right and so many families in Africa contain from about 5 to 10 children in some cases. Traditional ways are also seen as a cause of population growth, with men having as many as 10 wives. Our biggest cause of overpopulation many have argued to be the lack of education, education on birth control, family planning and the impacts on the environment caused by growth in population. This issue of overpopulation in Africa has a huge impact on the country and its government to feed all these mouths, and often they rely on foreign help from the northern better off continents, driving African countries into debts they will never be able to pay off.
