What are 5 dangers to check for before saving someone drowning?
Fish are able to live and breathe in water, but people need air to breathe. People drown when too much water gets into their lungs. When that happens, the lungs can't carry enough oxygen to the brain and the rest of the body.The eight things to do to save people from drowning are are:
1.Determine which of the following methods to use, depending on circumstances.
2.Get a long stick or pole and reach it toward the drowning person. Tell him to grab it and pull him to safety.
3.Throw the drowning person an object attached to a rope and pull him to safety.
4.Row out to the drowning person and use one of the above two methods.
5.Get in the water yourself and swim to the drowning person only as a last resort and only if you're trained as a lifeguard. Realize that you're risking your life in doing this.
6.Talk to the person as you approach and tell him you'll be taking him back to shore. Even if he's panicking, your voice might help to calm him down.
7.Try to approach the person from behind and hook your arm over his chest as you sidestroke back to shore. If possible, tell the person to relax and float on his back.
8.Treat the drowning victim once he's safely in a boat or on shore (see "How to Treat a Person Who Is Near Drowning").

Cause and effect of population explosion?
Prior to the 1800s the population growth pattern was slow due to fatal diseases. Diseases such as smallpox, diphtheria, measles, and scarlet fever hit infants and children hard. The black plague of the 14th century, typhus, and cholera eliminated adults in large numbers. During the 1800s Louis Pasteur along with others discovered that diseases were caused by infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These infectious agents were transmitted through water, food, and insects. Vaccinations then came into play along with major improvements in sanitation and personal hygiene. One hundred years later the discovery of penicillin resulted in cures for often fatal diseases. From this point on there was a reduction of mortality among infants and children while birthrates remained high as a result of better sanitation, medicine, and nutrition.
Increasing numbers in population put increasing demands on the environment. The demand for resources goes up, including food, energy, and water. The production of wastes also increases.
What is quantitative research?
Qualitative research has many many forms but as a general rule, it does not focus on numbers but rather ideas and opinions. Common methods include one-to-one interviews, focus groups, online communities, and dyads. As a method, the sample sizes of one-to-one interviews and focus groups are often fairly small, between 5 and 50 people though they can be larger. Online communities can have sample sizes in the thousands depending on how the research is designed. The purpose of most qual research is hypothesis generation and idea generation. Qualitative research is used by many different types of researchers including sociologists, psychologists, marketing researchers, business researchers, and more.

How many times in a month are the sun and the moon at right angles to each other?
The line between the Sun and the Earth is at right angles to the Earth-Moon line twice each lunar cycle, about 29.5 days. That isn't exactly twice per month, but pretty close.
When the bodies are in a right-angle arrangement, we see first quarter and third quarter moon phases, and we experience the lower-than-average "neap" tides.

Where does energy come from in the body?
Generally, the food you eat and the fat stored in your body. Specifically, it is derived from chemical processes such as cellular respiration that create ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and other energy storing molecules. These processes are possible because of the amino acids and elements/molecules that form the proteins/carbs/etc. that are found in the food that you ingest.
