Wonderful Meromictic lake
At this current second, I am a meromictic lake. My face is flooded with saltwater sweat, unclear to the unaided eye from the crisp spring water I have recently splashed myself in. I'm climbing through the wilderness of Penang National Park; this specific path will lead us to Pentai Kerachut sea shore just as Penang's own personal meromictic lake. The layers of a meromictic lake don't blend, the profundities frequently the most pungent, and the upper layers more made out of freshwater. The layers in a meromictic lake may not blend for quite a long time, or hundreds of years. I'm struck by this, and the chance it offers for various living things and life forms to exist in various layers of a similar lake — in a layer other than their own, they would not endure. The combination of layers can have calamitous ramifications for the existence frames that exist inside them. I think about what this implies. The lake is made out of unmistakable parts: monimolimnion, chemocline, mixolimnion. This lake can just exist as a meromictic lake by uprightness of it having these unmistakable parts, which exist close by one another however don't, should not, blend.

The Painter of the Gods
There is something about the village all abuzz with excitement that I find exhilarating, even if I am not directly involved. The crowd of men and maidens press against me as I struggle forward. For a moment, there is a break in the crowd and I half notice a movement from the corner of my eye. My hand, almost involuntarily, jerks upward and snatches a small stone from the very air and, in one fluid movement, launches it back to where it originated, smacking hard against my brother’s head. Anger contorts his face as he grips his ear, blood already trickling down his neck. Stealing myself for the expected assault, I relax as his friends start laughing. He joins in, still gripping his ear and sending me a sideways glance that lets me know that this isn’t over.

Rooftop Farming in Indian Metro Cities
Rooftop gardening is stepping in with urbanization being no uncommon observable fact in the current Indian society, and as a repercussion to this sprawl, we are losing our agricultural land, especially in Indian cities, every hour since the population is growing by leaps and bounds simultaneously and leaving us very little land to grow food on but having many more mouths to feed we need alternatives, therefore, making us move towards the direction of rooftop farming.

THE HISTORY OF EARTH DAY
ORIGINS OF EARTH DAY In the decades leading up to the first Earth Day, Americans were consuming vast amounts of leaded gas through massive and inefficient automobiles. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of the consequences from either the law or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. Until this point, mainstream America remained largely oblivious to environmental concerns and how a polluted environment threatens human health.
