The damages to the pond inspired him to become a con
23、servationist.In 2007, Kirshnamurthy founded the Environmental Foundation of India (EFI) a group that restores freshwater lakes and ponds across India. The team works to remove garbage and restores the natural habitats of birds, frogs and native plants, giving wildlife a chance to return. Over the la
24、st 13 years, EFI has carried out restoration work on 112 lakes and ponds.EFIs primary goal is to restore lakes and ponds, but the organizations work also benefits Indias water supply, because restoring water body helps groundwater recharge. In fact, groundwater is critical to India, accounting for 8
25、0% of its water supply. However, exploitation for domestic and agricultural use reducing reserves at a worrying rate.The government needs to take action, but Krishnamurthy believes individuals also have a significant role to play. Thats why he wants to raise awareness of waters importance in peoples
26、 daily lives. He points to the fact that groundwater in India is used for free, and a lot of it is wasted.Currently, EFI is facing a challenge when it comes to waste disposal. Up to 95% of the solid waste it collects from the ponds ends up in landfill. Krishnamurthy says EFI is investigating options
27、 for reusing and recycling more of the garbage.But despite different challenges, he feels hopeful not only for India but for the world. He urges people everywhere to pay attention to the dumping of waste and needs of wildlife. “With the right intentions”, says Krishnamurthy, “everyone can make an im

31、fighting technology, we still lose far too many firefighters each year,” said Greg Price who leads S&Ts first responder research and development programs. “We want them to know that we have their backs, that we are working to give them the tools they need to ensure their own safety. POINTER is one o
32、f those life-saving solutions.”Unlike positioning technologies such as GPS or radio-frequency identification, POINTER doesnt use radio waves. Though radio waves offer a reliable means to determine your location in a relatively open space, they can become unpredictable if you go indoors or find yours
33、elf surrounded by high buildings. This may be minor annoyance when trying to find the location of an appointment, but it could be a life-or-death situation when trying to locate firefighters in a burning building.The POINTER system is composed of three parts: a receiver, transmitter, and base statio
34、n. The firefighter wears the receiver, which is currently the size of a cellphone but expected to become much smaller after further development. A transmitter that can be attached to emergency vehicles outside the building generates the MOS fields, which travel through the building, pinging any rece
35、ivers located inside over range of about 230 feet (70 meters) in the current version of the system. This range can be extended but isnt needed in most fire-service applications. The receivers detect the fields determine their 3D location, and then send that data back outside the building to a laptop
36、 (the base station). Visualization software shows where the firefighters are in 3D space within an accuracy of a few inches. Not only can POINTER help firefighting teams locate team members through walls, MOS fields can also determine the orientation of the receiver.“This is a very exciting technolo
37、gy that adds another dimension to firefighters situational awareness,” said JPLs Ed Chow, the POINTER program manager, “Firefighters can be tracked in real time and, if they become unresponsive, their team members can see if they are trapped under debris or if they are injured so a rescue can be mou

Sadly, some parenting techniques have disastrous effects.A common technique that leads to a difficult adult life by low
43、ering confidence in children is negative parenting. Negative parenting tactics, such as lecturing, complaining, and yes, insulting can have a serious effect on your childs behavior and activities later on in life. Clearly, being insulted and lectured multiple times a day by an authority figure can g

Instead, his negative feelings toward himself cultivate a feeling of unworthiness around other children.While negative parenting can affect a childs mental stat
45、e, helicopter parenting results in ill-prepared children in an ever growing competitive world. A helicopter parent is overly involved in the life of his or her child. Children who cannot regulate their emotions and behavior effectively are more likely to have a harder time making friends and to stru
46、ggle in school. Another problem children with helicopter parents may have in the future is managing their health. Taking all of this information into account, helicopter parenting doesnt allow the child to be independent, so once the child has grown up he or she will not be able to make a decision b
47、y himself or herself.On the other side of the spectrum, permissive parenting leaves a child undisciplined for life. This style of parenting has a very loose structure and few rules; the parents usually show a lot of affection and love for their children. Therefore, permissive parenting is a type of
48、parenting style characterized by low demands with high responsiveness. Because parents have low expectations of their children, and want to be friends rather than parents, kids suffer because of a lack of achievement and motivation to do well in what they do. Therefore, children have worse self-control and cannot follow rules. These are fundamental concepts that should
