10 Driest Places on Earth
10 Driest Places on Earth The fact that 71% of the Earth is made up of water is fantastic because it is essential for our survival. However, some regions fall under the category of hyper-arid deserts since they often receive less than 0.09 inches (2 millimeters) of precipitation annually. Even worse, some regions endure for years without receiving any rain, rendering them essentially uninhabitable. Amazingly, deserts cover 35% of the planet's surface, making them larger than you may imagine. Let's look at 10 of the driest locations on the planet.

What happened to the Bronze Age?
Recently, I came across a great article about the findings of an ancient lake which showed a great drought during the end of the Bronze Age. It is an event which has many people discussing what really did happen to bring that age to an end. Some suggested the emergence of a great sea peoples, some say it was volcanoes and earthquakes. It could have been the lack of materials to build any more. A shipwreck was also discovered recently showing a cargo full of tin necessary for the bronze age. Geologically the composition showed that it came from a long way away and far from the Mycenean city states. This suggests that they were running out of materials and couldn’t sustain their civilization.

10 Strangest Defense Mechanisms In Nature
10. Flying Fish Click Here for your $750 PayPal Gift Card!! Although many organisms possess the ability to fly, fish are typically not thought to possess this trait. Fish that can fly can leap out of the water and travel great distances by flying or gliding. This is a defensive strategy to get away from predators. The flying fish's body is streamlined and torpedo-shaped, which aids in its ability to gather enough energy to break through the water's surface. The fish can swim as fast as 37 miles per hour (60 kilometers per hour) in order to escape the sea. The pectoral fins of fish have evolved into sizable wings that enable flight. When it emerges from the water, it can soar up to 656 feet (200 meters),using the fin on its tail as a kind of propeller. A flying fish was seen gliding for a record-breaking 45 seconds in 2008 in Japan.

Approaches to Social Change
There are two very common approaches to social change bottom-up and top-down. The biggest difference between the two is who starts the programs. Top-down programs have experts, professionals, or elite citizens who form the programs with the best intentions but never really truly understanding just what needs to be done due to a lack of firsthand experience with the intended target of change (Kloos, B., Hill, J., Thomas, E., Wandersman, A., Elias, M. J., and Dalton, J. H., 2012). Bottom-up is the opposite. Bottom-up designs start with people who have experienced or are experiencing the social problems that they seek to change and have an inside look into what needs to be done and the most effective ways to do so (Kloos et al., 2012).

What has the Eurokleptocene Got to Do with Me?
The Necessity for the Concept of the Eurokleptocene When hundreds and then, thousands upon thousands of half-starving and diseased Europeans landed on far-off shores, beginnning from the 16th century, no-one demanded a passport from them.
