One of the main causes of algae bloom is the lack of water movement. Purchase a fine bubble aerator and install it in the deepest section of your pond. This will constantly aerate the water, keeping it moving to produce a healthier environment in the pond and prevent harmful algae. Fine bubble aerators should be available from a specialty pond store. If you don’t have one nearby, there are plenty of online retailers that sell aerators. If your pond has a filtration system installed but algae is still able to grow, you may need to clean the filter inside the system more often. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to clean your filter at least once each month to prevent algae from forming.  A pond filter isn’t necessary, but can be useful in keeping the water in your pond clean. If you have a large mechanical filter, you should be able to clean it by attaching a backwash hose and backwashing the filter until the water runs clear. For smaller filters, remove the filter and clean it with non-chlorinated water to remove any obvious grime, gunk, or algae. Make sure you clean out your pond filter away from the pond. If you clean it too close the pond, everything you remove from the filter will end up back in your pond over time. Ultraviolet light is great at sterilizing and damaging a lot of organic materials, including algae. Install a pond filter that has an ultraviolet light sterilizer in your pond to break down and destroy algae as it grows. After 3 to 5 days, your water should be free of algae and clear.  Filters with UV light sterilizers will be more expensive than other filters, but also a lot more effective. They should be available from a specialty pond store or online. This is a very effective way to kill algae in ponds, but may also harm beneficial bacteria and other positive organic material in your pond. If you can’t clean your water and remove your algae any other way, you can use algaecides to treat the water and kill the algae. Purchase an algaecide or herbicide that contains copper and spray it over your pond to begin killing off the algae. You should see the algae begin to die off within 3 to 10 days from the first treatment.  Algaecides and herbicides are made of chemicals that are designed to kill algae, so they will be more harmful than other natural methods used to remove algae. Use algaecides as a last resort. Always consult the instructions on your chosen algaecides or herbicides before using them in a pond with plants or living creatures. Make sure you check with local regulations before treating your water with an algaecide. You may need a permit for some chemicals in some locations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when working with an algaecide. Using more than is required may damage your pond or harm any wildlife living in or around it.

summary: Install a fine bubble aerator to increase the movement of the water. Clean your filtration system once a month to keep the water clean. Use an ultraviolet light sterilizer to destroy algae. Treat the pond water with algaecides.

One of the most important things that you can teach a child is being reliable as an adult.  Many young kids may not have parents or other relatives that are dependable.  Adults may promise one thing and then do something else.  They may not be there on time, or at all.  When you make plans to spend time with your niece or nephew for example, be there when you said you'd show up.  Set aside time to be with them.  If a friend invites to do something else, prioritize your time with your niece or nephew first. If your young cousin has a soccer match coming up, and you agreed to go, then make sure to put that down on a calendar.  If something else comes up, make sure to contact them at least a day in advance to let them know you're not coming.  Avoid accidentally forgetting to show up. As a role model, you are a source of wisdom and inspiration.  You help others to understand what matters in life.  Many children may have role models like professional athletes, singers, or actresses, but they also need real-life role models that help them to understand morals and ethics.  Talk with them about real-life people that you admire, and what qualities make those role models special. Give your younger relatives examples of people who have made an impact for good.   Use examples of people in your community.  Sometimes historical figures can also provide a good  perspective. Demonstrate to them what responsibility, respect, and integrity look like.  Take this to heart in your own daily actions.  If you're taking a trip to the store with your younger relatives, think about ways you can model behaviors of respect when interacting with other shoppers, or when making purchases that show responsibility. Help your younger relatives think of mistakes as an opportunity to become a better and stronger person. Talk about times you've made mistakes and in the past and let them know what you've learned. By seeing how you've grown from the experience, your relative will learn that it's okay to make mistakes in life. For example, you could say. “When I messed up at the recital, I thought my life was over. Turns out, band really isn't my thing. Taking time off from band really enabled me to discover my love for painting. I've met lots of new people and created cool work that I am proud of.” For example, let's say that you got in trouble back in high school for skipping classes to hang out with friends.  Explain to them the consequences of your behavior.  Maybe you got disciplined by the school administration?  Or had low grades that semester?  Tell them how you overcame the situation and what you learned.  If you're having some arguments with your relatives, think about how you would react if your younger relatives were in the room.  Be calm and focus on ways to be mature in your opinions when talking with your  family members. Talk with your young relatives about mistakes that you or others have made.  Ask them how they might have handled the situation themselves. For example, you could approach a topic about mistakes in this way—"What do think about when getting caught for being tardy to class?  I used to get sent to detention after being late three times.  How do you think you'd handle the situation after being late?"

summary: Keep your word. Instill core values. Treat mistakes as an opportunity for growth. Use your past failings as life lessons for younger relatives.


Summarize the following:
At the level of global and national economics, globalization has produced significant changes that reflect a more integrated world economy.  World trade rates (the ratio or world imports to gross world product) have grown from 7% in 1938, to 10% in 1970, to 18% in 1996, to almost 25% in 2013.  Foreign direct investment in developing countries has gone from $2.2 billion in 1970 to $154 billion in 1997 to  $778 billion in 2013.  The foreign exchange market has grown from $1 trillion per day in 1992 to over $3.5 trillion per day in 2014. Globalization has been shown to increase income inequality in developed nations, where the owners of capital invested abroad take in huge profits, while workers find their wages depressed by competition with foreign workers. For instance, the owner of a call center might see huge profits by outsourcing to India, but workers in US call centers will lose jobs or see their wages depressed. On the other hand, globalization has decreased income inequality in the developing world, resulting in overall less inequality in the world. Many fear that globalization is causing the Americanization of the rest of the world through the spread of American brands (Nike, McDonalds, Gap) and culture (Hollywood films and American TV). However, recent studies indicate that American influence is actually on the wane. The internet has empowered localities to create distinct "civilization clusters," while emerging new media (the internet, satellite television) have fueled local media production more than they have borrowed from America. Globalization has accelerated environmental degradation by encouraging rapid industrialization and resource extraction in the developing world, as well as increasingly intensive energy use in the developed world. Major impacts include:  Green house gas emissions rose 60% from 1970 to 2004. The extinction or massive reduction of many animal and plant populations. 22% of the world's mammals are threatened with extinction, 31% of amphibians, and 35% of birds. Deforestation has accelerated in order to create farmland used to grow export crops. Between 1990 and 2005, the world lost 3% of its forests.
summary: Understand the macroeconomic impacts. Consider globalization's impact on income inequality. Think of globalization's impact on culture. Be aware of globalization's environmental impact.
