Worldwide Smoking Rate

  According to the «World Health Organization», approximately 1 billion smokers account for 7.5 billion of the world's population. Every year, tobacco users smoke 5.7 billion cigarettes and throw away about 1 million tons of cigarette butts, according to analysts of the American initiative group «The Tobacco Atlas»: tons of cigarette butts are harmful not only to the environment, but also to people, because they consist of cellulose acetate, a product that is practically not decomposed in natural conditions. Meanwhile, from an economic point of view, the annual profit of tobacco corporations is impressive - $700 billion, but the super-profits of tobacco producers are too expensive for humanity - over the past century, as many people died from the effects of smoking as during the two world wars - about 100 million. Today, the mortality caused by the consequences of smoking in the world is in the first place, according to WHO experts. Every six seconds on the planet from diseases cau...

Unpredictable online travel with the word " FREE"

I was sitting in Telegram (a social network) looking through channels with free giveaways of games, contests, coupons, and scholarships for free study when suddenly an idea came to me. As a Russian-speaking person, I know such a word as "халява (halyava)", which is another form of the word free and means easily achievable and obtained. After all, in our mentality, it is the norm to get things for free, and for most, it is not normal to pay for what you can get for free. However, how are things in other parts of the world? I turned to the Internet with this question, but my search was not successful. There were only the same ideas that I voiced above. I went the other way and wanted to determine how non-Russian-speaking people use the word "FREE". The method that was used is Google trends. I translated the word "FREE" into the most common languages and made an analysis of what phrases and for what purposes they are used at the moment on the Internet. I also...

Why do we need Sharks?

 As you know, there are branched food chains in nature: plants create organic matter, animals eat it," vegetarians " are eaten by predators, etc. Sharks are at the very end of such chains or nearby. Despite their agility and aggressiveness, sharks are more likely to prey on weak, crippled and sick victims. The elimination of such from reproduction improves the health of the population. So the sharks could be called "nurses of the ocean." Their activity helps not only fish and marine mammals to exist normally. Sharks also feed on shellfish (squid), there are species whose diet consists almost entirely of plankton-tiny crustaceans, larvae. Finding Nemo (2003) By eating some animals, sharks do not allow their population to multiply massively. It supports in the nature of competition. As a result, species diversity is preserved in ecosystems. And environmentalists have long found out: the larger it is, the more resistant the community is to adverse environmental factors...

Analytical article by Saniya

  When we had received this task, I already knew that I want this Infographics to be as unique as possible. I came up with this idea randomly when I was scrolling down the Instagram feed. On Tuesday evening (09.02.21), I started to look through this topic. I compared the use of Instagram Stories among males and females. At first, I noticed that females are more active in the evening. There were 20 new stories from females’ accounts and 7 stories posted by men, considering the fact that I follow 95 people in there. The next day morning (10.02.21) I realized that even in the morning females are likely to make more stories than males. However, in this time of the day women post them not so often. Regarding the afternoon period, the tendency is still the same. Girls make more stories than boys do, but not so much in total. Males are tend to be quiet in Instagram in the morning and afternoon, but be active in the evening.  Talking about content of the Stories, females post more...

  Distance learning guide Online distance learning has become a popular teaching method, especially as we are all adjusting to the new circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Distance learning courses are also flexible. However, this depends on the structure of the course. For many courses, students set their own timetable. They take lessons at their preferred location.

Causes of environmental pollution

 Causes of environmental pollution Nowadays we can't breathe with clear air, use clear water and health of people worse and worse every year. In other words additional contaminants into the natural environment that spoil and cause detrimental effects to nature called “environmental pollution”. It has 4 types: air, water, noise pollution and soil contamination. Why we keep spoil nature and admit the deaths of 8.3 million peoples each year? For example, In India estimated number of premature pollution-related deaths per year is 2.33 million, when in China 1.87 million.   It means that the problem doesn't just manifest itself in heavily-populated industrialized nations where mega-cities are shrouded in smog and pollution is the leading cause of premature death in many low and middle-income countries. There are some information, statistics, and some ideas for making this difference. Don’t forget, we all live in one world and we must help each other. Mussali Ademi

How the 80/20 rule works?

In most cases, about 80% of the result comes from 20% of the causes. These numbers can vary – sometimes it's 70/30 and sometimes 90/10. It can be used as a basic setting for analyzing the performance factors of an activity and optimizing its results: by choosing the minimum of the most important actions correctly, you can quickly get a significant part of the planned full result, while further improvements are ineffective and may be unjustified (according to the Pareto curve). It finds its application in many areas. But, bearing in mind that by choosing 20% of the necessary actions correctly, you can get 80% of the desired result, it is also worth considering that subsequent efforts may not bring results at all. This idea is illustrated by the Pareto curve (image taken from the Esquire website). Perhaps one of the most famous examples of the application of the Pareto principle is the 1960 US presidential campaign. The last months of the election race, R. Nixon spent in constant tra...

5 tips on how to fight procrastination

Nowadays we can find such an epithet about procrastination as "Procrastination is a disease of the XXI century". It was from the 70s that many psychologists began to write about procrastination, paying attention to this phenomenon because of its spread and destructive consequences. People are waiting for the New Year, for good weather and for the right moment to change their lives. They wait until the end of life. Every day people make a promise to themselves to change something: to quit a hateful job, to start exercising, to stop spending time in social networks. But they always find excuses to postpone the change: the wrong time, the mood, the economic situation. And everyone's list of such cases and the situation is very different and can contain quite a few items. And even if you have only one item on this list, it still interferes with a normal life. What to do? Fight this unpleasant phenomenon. About 25% of American adults consider procrastination a major trait of t...

The Lowdown On Climate Change

       The planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole. Since 1906, the global average surface temperature has increased by more than 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius)—even more in sensitive polar regions. And the impacts of rising temperatures aren’t waiting for some far-flung future–the effects of global warming are appearing right now. The heat is melting glaciers and sea ice, shifting precipitation patterns, and setting animals on the move.           Many people think of global warming and climate change as synonyms, but scientists prefer to use “climate change” when describing the complex shifts now affecting our planet’s weather and climate systems. Climate change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. All of these changes are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse ga...
