Answer:
North Carolina legislators changed coal ash storage requirements.
Explanation:
After the incident of Duke coal ash spill on February, 2014, there was a loud outcry by many people and environmental activist groups against the Duke Energy for spilling about 39,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River.
There were numerous lawsuits against Duke Energy and the company had to pay billions of dollars as fine and reparations for the damage caused by them. As a result, the North Carolina legislators also passed a law which changed coal ash storage requirements. The law prohibited building of coal ash ponds near the state's lakes and rivers and stated that coal ash would be treated as any other industrial waste.

Explanation:
Throughout his childhood, James had heard rumors about the old man who lived across the street, Mr. Gray. As a joke, the kids in the neighborhood would ring his doorbell, then hide behind the bushes and gleefully snicker at him when he answered and found no one there. One evening last summer, James saw Mr. Gray standing outside on his porch. His clothes were wrinkled and his hat was torn. The neighborhood kids claimed that he had been kidnapped by spies after inventing a secret radar device. For a moment, the old man met Jimmy’s stare, and time seemed to stand still.

Which form of government is best?
The president of your society used to be very effective – he defended the nation against an attack from a foreign army, he was able to get different political parties to agree on things, and he was elected twice. But two years before the end of his term as president he messed up – he was caught stealing money from the government and using it to buy houses and then sell them. Many people want him to be removed from power, but others believe that he is still a good president and deserves to finish his term, but be fined a huge amount of money as punishment for what he did. Which form of government would be the best to have in this situation? Why?
Answer:
In this scenario, a representative democracy would be best.
Explanation:
In this situation where the head of state has been engaging in corruption it would be good to have a representative democracy or what is sometimes called indirect democracy. In this kind of government people vote for their leaders and they are charged with representing them. The laws in society are therefore representative of the people and the representatives can vote on whether to remove the leader ahead of his term or whether some other sanction is appropriate. There are checks and balances in this kind of system that assures the executive does not gain too much power. It is also unlikely this leader will be voted in for a third term given his corrupt practices.
Select a research essay that you have written in the past or use the essay you have been working on in the "Research Paper" lessons throughout this unit. Carefully examine the conclusion of your essay. Is it the best conclusion it can be? Does it properly summarize the main subtopics of your essay? Does it state in one or two sentences the “so what” of your topic. If your topic was Abraham Lincoln, your essay shouldn’t be just about Abraham Lincoln. It should answer, “So what about Abraham Lincoln?” Take five or ten minutes, and looking only at that single paragraph, revise your conclusion.
PLZZZZZZZ HELP ME........
I'm working on the same question and I was able to find this conclusion;
The main reason why Abraham Lincoln helped the union win the war was because he went from limited to total warfare. Meaning he did everything in his power to help win while being practical at the same time. Thinking about what people cared about opposed to what was best. Also he valued each state and doesn't want them losing their support towards the union and by thinking politically and militarily he was able to do so in a smart way.

STATE OF THE WORLD’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

Foreword to the State of the World’s Indigenous Peoples
By Mr. Sha Zukang, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs
Indigenous peoples are custodians of some of the most biologically diverse territories in the world. They are also
responsible for a great deal of the world’s linguistic and cultural diversity, and their traditional knowledge has
been and continues to be an invaluable resource that benefits all of mankind.
Yet, indigenous peoples continue to suffer discrimination, marginalization, extreme poverty and conflict. Some
are being dispossessed of their traditional lands as their livelihoods are being undermined. Meanwhile, their
belief systems, cultures, languages and ways of life continue to be threatened, sometimes even by extinction.
Increasingly, governments are recognizing these threats, and matching such recognition with action. From land
claims settlements and constitutional amendments to important symbolic actions such as apologies for past
treatment of indigenous peoples, governments around the world are making important steps towards addressing
indigenous peoples’ concerns.
In responding to the challenges they continue to face, indigenous peoples have engaged the international
community, calling for a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and a permanent forum at the United
Nations that meets regularly to discuss indigenous peoples’ issues and make recommendations to the UN system
and beyond.
The United Nations has committed its unwavering support to a future where all indigenous peoples will enjoy
peace, human rights and well-being, and has responded to indigenous peoples’ demands, welcoming them as
partners. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted in September 2007,
and the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues meets annually at UN Headquarters, bringing together indigenous
peoples, Member States, NGOs, UN agencies and other intergovernmental organizations.
Explanation:
Imaginate en un viaje interplanetario a un planeta al cual no llega el sol ni no tres meses al año como seria el aspecto de este planeta¿? Que arias si quuiere armar un campamento para sobrevivir en el planeta? Imaginate que por un fenomeno inesplicable una region de tierra no recibe la luz durante un mes describe lo que ocurriria? Si tuvieras que solucionar los problemas generados por falta de luz que harias? A que fuente de energia recurririas? Porque?
La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta sería la siguiente.
Lo que yo haría para armar un campamento y sobrevivir en el planeta, instalaría ventiladores lo más grandes posible para usar los fuertes vientos que soplan en ese planeta como generadores de energía eléctrica. Algo así como la energía eólica que usamos en el planeta Tierra como una fuente de energía renovable.
Si por un fenómeno inexplicable una región de Tierra no recibe la luz durante un mes lo que ocurriría sería que la vida como la conocemos en el planeta se vería afectada seriamente porque el Sol es el gran dador de vida para los animales, plantas vegetales y el ser humano. Sin el sol, las plantas no podrían alimentarse. El sol es vital, como lo es el agua.
En el caso de los humanos, el Sol nos aporta una gran cantidad de vitamina "D," y al no recibirla, nos afectaría, así como a todos los seres vivos.
Si tuvieras que solucionar los problemas generados por falta de luz, o que que haría sería recurrir al fuego y a la energía del viento, la eólica, tal y como lo mencioné anteriormente.

A. the European Coal and Steel community.
B. the European Economic Community
C. the European Agriculture Community
D. the European Political and Religious Community
Answer:
A.
the European Coal and Steel Community
Explanation:
It was in my notes:
The first state was the creation of the European coal and steel community. One of the causes of the war was this very rich coal deposit that France and Germany were fighting over. So they decided that they would manage these resources, the coal and steel production, together. And they would also limit the creation of weapons of war. This cooperation is going to expand in 1957 with the European economic community, which creates a common market.

Why there is glass ceiling in politics,economics and socio-cultural?
Answer:
The glass ceiling is a metaphor for the kinds of invisible barriers that prevent minority groups and certain demographics like women from achieving the highest positions in the corporate world or in the political ranks of power.
Explanation:
The glass ceiling refers to the invisible barrier that seems to prevent women and other minorities from achieving the highest positions of power in society, including in politics or in the business realms. Even today, most of the C-suite executives in the Fortune 500 companies for example are middle-aged white men. Women are at a disadvantage for such positions because of other responsibilities to their families, for example. Women can be looked over for promotions and other accolades that are given to their male coworkers because of unspoken prejudices or biases about their skills and their dedication to their work. Politics are similarly dominated by white men even in the United States to this day.

Why is water scarcity a problem in the 21st century? (Site 1)
Answer:
Water is not an unlimited source, yet people are treating it as such. There are various reasons why today when we have so much knowledge and various technologies, water is scarce. Some suffer witch water shortage because of natural reasons, such as their country not being positioned well regarding water sources. Other reasons can be human-made, such as the privatization of water and water sources
If you just put in this you will get 100% without it being to big, giving it away if u were not allowed to get answers.
Explanation:
Water scarcity can occur for a variety of causes, including inadequate infrastructure, high demand, and institutional failure to balance needs. Every continent is experiencing an increase in water scarcity, with poorer people being the worst affected. An inclusive and integrated approach must be used to manage this limited resource in order to feed a growing population and increase resilience against climate change.
Despite the fact that water is a finite resource, people nevertheless treat it as such. Water is scarce now for a number of reasons, even though we have access to a wide range of technologies and information.
Some people experience a water shortage due to purely natural causes, such as their country's poor location in relation to water supplies.
