Posted on October 25th, 2009 by admin in the urban place | 1 Comment »

Okay, so you can complete a pre-med at most schools, I know, but what are the top of the line schools that have the strongest programs for pre-med? Please list ANY school, because my application is extremely strong, and I will be applying to Ivies along with other schools.

Lesser known schools would be appreciated. Either in NYC, Chicago, or another ultra-urban place.

U. Chicago
Northwestern
Georgetown (Washington, D.C.)
Tufts (Boston)
Boston College
Case Western Reserve (Cleveland)
Washington U. (St. Louis)
Emory (Atlanta)
Johns Hopkins (Baltimore)
Swarthmore (Philadelphia)

I live in Indianapolis

If you want to shop online, you can try Dr. Jay’s. I’m not sure what area you’re from, but if you live near the NJ or NY area, or in some parts of California, you can also shop at Against All Odds. They seem to have the cheapest prices and the latest fashions. You can also try Demo, but they tend to be on the pricey side.

What are the demands that humans place on water supplies in highly developed, urban societies like the United?

Posted on October 15th, 2009 by admin in the urban place | 1 Comment »


Food and water are two basic human needs. However, global coverage figures from 2002 indicate that, of every 10 people:

* roughly 5 have a connection to a piped water supply at home (in their dwelling, plot or yard);
* 3 make use of some other sort of improved water supply, such as a protected well or public standpipe;
* 2 are unserved;
* In addition, 4 out of every 10 people live without improved sanitation. [3]

At Earth Summit 2002 governments approved a Plan of Action to:

* Halve by 2015 the proportion of people unable to reach or afford safe drinking water. The Global Water Supply and Sanitation Assessment 2000 Report (GWSSAR) defines "Reasonable access" to water as at least 20 liters per person per day from a source within one kilometer of the user’s home.
* Halve the proportion of people without access to basic sanitation. The GWSSR defines "Basic sanitation" as private or shared but not public disposal systems that separate waste from human contact.

Projected water distribution in 2025

As the picture shows, in 2025, water shortages will be more prevalent among poorer countries where resources are limited and population growth is rapid, such as the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia. By 2025, large urban and peri-urban areas will require new infrastructure to provide safe water and adequate sanitation. This suggests growing conflicts with agricultural water users, who currently consume the majority of the water used by humans.

Generally speaking the more developed countries of North America, Europe and Russia will not see a serious threat to water supply by the year 2025, not only because of their relative wealth, but more importantly their populations will be better aligned with available water resources. North Africa, the Middle East, South Africa and northern China will face very severe water shortages due to physical scarcity and a condition of overpopulation relative to their carrying capacity with respect to water supply. Most of South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southern China and India will face water supply shortages by 2025; for these latter regions the causes of scarcity will be economic constraints to developing safe drinking water, as well as excessive population growth.

1.6 billion people have gained access to a safe water source since 1990. [3] The proportion of people in developing countries with access to safe water is calculated to have improved from 30 percent in 1970[14] to 71 percent in 1990, 79 percent in 2000 and 84 percent in 2004. This trend is projected to continue. [4]

help please does any one know of any urban places in south california?

Posted on October 13th, 2009 by admin in the urban place | 6 Comments »

i need to know of any urban places (small towns, country like, not so city like, goood to raise kids) in southern califonia or anywhere near it.

if you are looking for places with ’small town or country’ feel in the San Diego area, you might check out some of the smaller cities and towns that are a bit out in the country (and not surrounded by other communities): Poway is decent sized, but prides itself on ‘country living’ – Ramona is one step further out into the country. Escondido and Santee are similar to Poway – smaller cities on the edge of the rural world. Fallbrook is fairly small feeling, and Julian is a mountain town.

Of course, if you want real rural country living, perhaps Rainbow, Santa Ysabel, Dehesa, Boulevard, or Jamul might be your best bets – ranches, farms, etc.

However, if you are looking for a good suburban area to raise a family, perhaps look at Scripps Ranch, Poway, Otay Ranch/Eastlake, Rancho Penasquitos, Santee, Escondido, or if you can afford it, some of the more coastal communities like Encinitas, Carlsbad, or the wealthy suburbs like Rancho Santa Fe. Coronado is quite wealthy, and has a small town feel, even though it is on the other side of the bay from downtown.

If you want to be out in the desert, in Imperial County – most of the county is fairly rural or small town, with El Centro being the biggest town there at about 50,000 people. Most of the towns in Imperial County are agricultural-focused and may or may not necessarily have the best schools overall.
