BARAKA !!!!!!

Without words this movie uses camera shots and music to show us the world, with an emphasis not on "where," but on "what's there." It begins with morning, natural landscapes and people at prayer: volcanoes, waterfalls, forests; several hundred monks chanting. Indian peoples apply body paint; various landscapes, churches, ruins, religious ceremonies, and cities thrumming with life and whole villages dance. The film moves to destruction of nature by showing us logging, blasting, and strip mining. Images of poverty, rapid urban life, and factories give way to war, concentration camps, and mass graves. Ancient ruins come into view, and then a river where people bathe and funeral burns take place. Prayer and nature return. A monk rings a huge bell; stars wheel across the sky The movie draws some surprising connections between various peoples and the spaces they inhabit, whether that space is a lonely mountaintop or a crowded cigarette factory. Some of these attempts at connection are more successful than others: for instance, an early sequence between the daily devotions of religion Tibetan monks, and Orthodox Jews, finding more similarity among their rituals than one might expect. And there are other amazing moments, as when sped-up footage of a busy intersection reveals a beautiful symmetry to urban life that could only be appreciated from the perspective of film. The lack of context can be frustrating, not knowing where a section was filmed, or the meaning of the ritual taking place, and some of the transitions are questioning. This fil used time-laps photography in order to capture the great pulse of humanity as it interacted in daily activity.

What is your city doing to protect you? Mini Project 6

The precautions that are being taken by the officials in Cooper City Florida to prepare for a biological terrorism attack are that they train the firefighters and police officers monthly on different terrorist situations that might happen. They do are just train on biological terrorism but also other tactics that the terrorist might use against us.

What's The Problem With Our Food?

In the United States our food is effected in many ways. First we have the weahter and bugs that ruin our crops and Second we have farmers injecting our cows and bigs with steriods and Growth Hormones, third we have pesticides, these are all bad for human consumption and can casue humans a lot of harm. The most important problem with our food though is genitcally altered food, some of these foods are meats, vegtables, and dairy products. There are many more products that are outthere, this is just to get you thinking. Genitically altered food can be responsible for causing health defects, cancer, allegires and they put you at a high risk of you consuming toxins. Genitically altering food not only effect us but animals alos. It can cause an animal's species to become extinct and throw off the balance cycle of that altered item.

Do you have Superfund Sites in your County? Mini 5

I live in Broward County and we have a lot of Superfund Sites. Superfund is the federal government's program to clean up the nation's uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. They are committed to ensuring that remaining National Priorities List hazardous waste sites are cleaned up to protect the environment and the health of all Americans. If you go to their website at www.epa.gov, you will see that they provide topical information for the general public and for those involved in the Superfund program. On this site, you'll find information about Superfund sites in your area, the health effects of common contaminants, cleanup efforts, and how you can become involved in cleanup activities in your community. My closest superfund sights are Chemform, Inc., Davie Landfill, Florida Petroleum Reprocessors, Hollingsworth Solderless Terminal, Petroleum Prducts Corp. Wilson Concepts of Florida Inc. Wingate Road Municipal Incinerator Dump.

Agricultural Pesticides have become a major contributor in the production of agriculture in the United States. Even though pesticides are know to be healpful the the production of agriculture they are also known to be harmful to the human body. They damage the immune system, liver and kidneys. These chemicals are extremely toxicand have the ability to become killers. Children are the ones who have the most side effects when exposed to them. There is a great publich concern and debate about the biotechnologies used to grow agriculture because of the potential risk of consuming them. People want their food to be natural as possible. They feel like the more natural the production the safter it is to eat. Publix is understanding this more and more and wants to promote to their customers that their food is natural and safe to eat.
