where was mesopotamie

Answer:

Kuwait near Iraq, Turkey and Syria

Explanation:

The word “mesopotamia” is formed from the ancient words “meso,” meaning between or in the middle of, and “potamos,” meaning river. Situated in the fertile valleys between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the region is now home to modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey and Syria. Map of Mesopotamia.

The Human Genome Project

How much of who we are is determined by our genes? How similar are the genes of people living in different parts of the world? Which diseases are genetic? The findings of the Human Genome Project, begun in 1990, will help answer these questions and many others. To find the answers, scientists collected blood, hair, skin cell, and saliva samples of people from all over the world. They then retrieved the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from these samples, which is found in the body's 46 chromosomes. Scientists involved in the project have already finished mapping, or "sequencing," DNA molecules, showing the location of genes. Now that the sequencing is finished, researchers have begun the long process of analyzing the results to find out how these genes function. To scientists, this analysis is like Europe's discovery of the New World.



Scientists' findings so far are both surprising and promising. One of the unexpected findings is that it turns out people have far fewer genes than scientists thought. Before the project, the scientific world had assumed that there were 100,000 genes in the human body responsible for not only physical characteristics like hair and eye color but also certain behaviors and aptitudes. However, there are in fact only 34,000 genes. This means that there is more at work than just genes in determining why one person commits a crime and another is good at music or sports.



Another interesting finding is that although groups of people around the world may look different, they are actually very similar genetically. For instance, there is only a very small number of genes accountable for the difference in skin color.



Some of the most hopeful research coming out of the project relates to the study of disease. When the project first began, the medical world knew of about 100 human disease genes. Because of the project, scientists have identified more than 1400 disease genes so far for such conditions as diabetes, Alzheimer's, and certain forms of colon and breast cancer. By studying how these genes work, medical researchers can try to improve treatments. This could include developing more effective medicines as well as manipulating the genes themselves to cure or even prevent illness. Since scientists have already mapped the genomes of other organisms, including the mouse, rat, and fruit fly, they can now compare these to the human genome to learn how different organisms evolve, react to disease, and respond to environmental pollutants.

Paul Pelosi to be arraigned on DUI causing injury charges Wednesday
Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday morning on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and driving with .08% blood alcohol level or higher causing injury, the Napa County District Attorney's Office said in a press release on Monday.

The charges stem from a crash on May 28, when a 2014 Jeep struck Pelosi's 2021 Porsche at an intersection around 10 p.m. that evening.
Pelosi, 81, allegedly had a blood alcohol content level of .082% when a sample was taken about two hours after the crash.

The district attorney said that misdemeanor charges were filed "based upon the extent of the injuries suffered by the victim." It's unclear what those injuries are and the driver of the Jeep was not arrested.

Pelosi or his defense counsel will enter a plea at the arraignment on Wednesday. A defendant in a misdemeanor DUI case does not have to be present in the courtroom for an arraignment under California law.
The district attorney said when charges were filed in June that the punishment for DUI causing injury as a misdemeanor "includes up to five years of probation, a minimum of five days in jail, installation of an ignition interlock device, fines and fees, completion of a court ordered drinking driver class, and other terms as appropriate."

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed...at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

What is the counterclaim of this argument?

A voluntour experience is a necessary addition to an individual's college resume.
The cost of voluntouring is minor in light of what one gets out of the experience.
There are better ways to make a difference than mixing tourism with volunteering.
Voluntourism is a worthwhile way to make a difference and travel the world.
