.... by industries, the burning of fossil fuels or wastes. When lead enters the environment, it starts to become a problem. After a period of about ten days, depending on the weather, it falls to the surface. Here lead builds up in the soil particles. Where it may make its way into underground water or drinking water due to the fact the grounds acidic or if it's soft enough. Either way it stays a long time on the soil or in water. Months or years down the road after the lead has built up it starts to become a problem for children that play outside of their homes (Xintaras, 1993). These lead containing soil particles get on the child's hands or clothing .....

.... habits that a lot of teenagers, including me, have been practicing. Prior to the nutrition unit, I never understood the reasons for giving the fat or protein content of a certain food any attention. At the time before my enlightenment from the nutrition unit, I ate anything that was good to my taste. After extensive learning on the effects of certain foods on my body, and the manner in which to help improve my body through what I eat, I began being more aware of what I ate and learned on what effected me. I began changing my diet to a low-carbohydrate, and high-protein diet, thus enabling my body to stop burning the energy from the high-carbohydrate foods .....

.... phases in the development of the infant's attachment: Phase 1 is called Nonfocused Orienting and Signaling. The infant is around the age of zero to three months. There is no attachment to a particular person. They have specific needs that they want met. Mary Ainsworth (1989) said these behaviors are general and are not being directed toward any one person. Phase 2 is called Focused on One or More Figure(s). The infant is now three to six months. The baby is now starting to focus his/her attachment on the primary caregiver. The infant is starting to smile at the caregiver more than he/she would a stranger. This is not a full-blown attachment. The ba .....

.... the parents may change their mind if they want to keep it. Parents must decide at the onset of the pregnancy to decide if they can in good conscience bring a child into the world, if the answer is yes, then people should proceed with the pregnancy and then determine whether they want to give the child up for adoption. It is a parent's moral responsibility to make sure that the environments which the child will be brought into will be healthy and supportive. It is a far greater crime to treat a child poorly for eighteen years then it is to terminate a fetus that cannot think, feel or is aware of its existence. On the second point of making the way that c .....

.... bacterium was the cause of disease, and proved wrong the theory of spontaneous generation. After him there was Robert Koch, who developed a method of isolating and growing bacteria. Scientists tried developing drugs that could kill microbes, but they proved to be either dangerous or ineffective. In 1928 there was a discovery by Alexander Fleming. He detected that a substance he called "penicillin" destroyed bacteria. Then in the late 1930's, two British scientists invented a method of extracting penicillin from the mold. This was the start of developing new drugs to treat diseases and bacteria. Over the years, numerous thousands of antibiotic material have .....

.... an alcoholic. Likewise, someone who drinks frequently or gets drunk every once and a while is not necessarily and alcoholic. It is possible to abuse alcohol for a short period of time without developing alcoholism. For example, some people may drink abusively during a personal crisis and then resume normal drinking. College students tend to drink more heavily than other age groups. It is often difficult to distinguish such heavy and abusive drinking from the early stages of alcoholism. How well the person can tolerate giving up alcohol for an extended time and the effects of drinking on the family, friends, work, and health, may indicate the extent of the a .....

.... Herpes 2 comes back again and again. Treatment Herpes should be treated by a doctor for many reasons. Treatments are aimed at easing pain, more so than curing the disease.

Herpes victims with the sore in on place can infect themselves in others. Symtoms The signs of the virus are itching or tingling and sores. .....

.... without insurance, and another 20 million are underinsured Another large problem with the way health care is presently organized is - as Clinton helpfully points out - waste. Some common examples are: Paperwork: There are thousands of insurance companies in the US, and each one has many forms for doctors and patients to fill out. So much so, that doctors spend more time improving their handwriting than healing people. Greed and Profiteering: Some drug companies make over 10,000% profit on the drugs they manufacture. In 1991, the median income of doctors was $139,000 for general practitioners and $512,000 for specialists. Unneeded Surger .....
