Biden administration aims to have enough vaccine for most Americans by summertime.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States aims to acquire an additional 200 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, President Joe Biden said on Tuesday, enough to inoculate most Americans by summertime, as he races to curb a pandemic he warned could still get worse.

Biden’s administration will purchase 100 million doses each of the vaccines made by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech, and Moderna Inc. increasing the overall total doses to 600 million, with delivery expected by summer.

The previous purchase target was 400 million doses.

Each vaccine requires two doses per person to be fully effective, suggesting the new purchases would build up enough of a stockpile to inoculate most of the country’s 331 million people. The vaccines are not approved for use by most children.

“This is a wartime effort,” Biden said in the White House State Dining Room under a painting of President Abraham Lincoln, who led the Union to victory in the U.S. Civil War.

Pfizer is confident it can deliver the extra doses in the time frame specified by Biden, spokeswoman Sharon Castillo said.

Liquefaction is a phenomenon where saturated sand and silt take on the  characteristics of a liquid during the intense shaking of an earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey website.

It takes place when a quake has increased water pressure in saturated soil and made particles in the soil lose contact with each other, making the soil - particularly sandy soil - act like liquid.

The effect has been likened to slapping a wet, hard beach and the sand beneath your palm becomes jelly.

WHAT HAPPENED IN SULAWESI

In the Palu neighborhood of Balaroa, about 1,700 houses were swallowed up when the earthquake caused soil to liquefy, the national rescue agency said.

Satellite images of the Petobo district, south of Palu's airport, showed another large area of urban development seemingly wiped clear of buildings.

When the quake hit, the layers below the surface of the earth became muddy and loose," said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman of Indonesia’s national disaster mitigation agency.

"Mud with such large mass volume drowned and dragged the housing complex in Petobo so that most of them became as if they were absorbed. We estimate 744 units of houses are there."

Amateur video footage appeared to show trees, buildings and even a large communications tower being tossed around in fast-moving landslides. Reuters was unable to verify the footage.

According to the experts Liquefaction happens caused by...

 

A

The quake hit, the layers below the surface of the sea became muddy and loose.

 

B

Tsunami and Earthquake hit  on the same area and time.

 

 

C

Intense Volcanic eruption that liquefied the soil

          Heredity is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly on how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent on how much  sunshine we get

          During the cold winter months, people keep themselves covered. A group of light colored people will all seem to be pretty much the same color in these months. But when summer arrives and they go to the beaches. Some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and a few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoors man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on a tan after a short vacation in the sun, Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite.

          Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and had to work the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan. As a result, noblewomen did their best to keep their skins as light as possible. A skin so pale that the veins showed was considered a mark of great beauty.

          During the Industrial Revolution, things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines, and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines made their skin pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around the beaches and get a tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.

          In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp. The desire for a quick tan has led the invention of pills and lotions that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight.

          This has brought about another change, These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents So, there are three answers to the question:

"Where does our color come from?" It comes from the genes we inherit. It come from the conditions in which we live. And it can come from a bottle that we bough at the drugstore on the corner.

          Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and had to work the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan. As a result, noblewomen did their best to keep their skins as light as possible. A skin so pale that the veins showed was considered a mark of great beauty.

          During the Industrial Revolution, things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines, and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines made their skin pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around the beaches and get a tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.

          In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp. The desire for a quick tan has led the invention of pills and lotions that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight.

          This has brought about another change, These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents So, there are three answers to the question:

"Where does our color come from?" It comes from the genes we inherit. It come from the conditions in which we live. And it can come from a bottle that we bough at the drugstore on the corner.

 

 

Which of the following statement is not true?

 

A

We may soon be able to change the color of our skin

 

B

Nowadays only rich people can have a tan

 

C

Everybody will get the same tan if the conditions are right

 

D

Before the Industrial Revolution most working people had an outdoor job

 

E

Nowadays women do their best to keep their skin as light as possible

          Heredity is not the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly on how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent on how much  sunshine we get

          During the cold winter months, people keep themselves covered. A group of light colored people will all seem to be pretty much the same color in these months. But when summer arrives and they go to the beaches. Some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and a few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoors man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on a tan after a short vacation in the sun, Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale.

          Scientists have been working for over 15 years now to try to unlock the secrets of be stickiness of gecko toes and find a way artificially reproduce the same structure of nano hairs. The hypothesis at the moment is that if any material can be shaped into nano hairs they will have the same properties as those on gecko toes, so scientists are looking for an alternative material with which to manufacture the stickiest synthetic surface ever.

          This is one example of research in the field now known as nanotechnology. In this field, the technology being created can be measured in a few nanometres (one nanometre is a millionth of a milimetre). Interest in developing technology at this level was largely inspired by Richard Feynman at the beginning of 1960', but the nano catchphrase was coined in the 1990s by Dr. Eric Drexler, who spurred scientists on through a series of speeches and a book entitled "Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology

          The scientists working on the geckos envisage an enormously wide range of possible applications for the kind of adhesive nanotechnology that they will develop. The one that will make the biggest splash in the media will be the gloves and the boots that will allow rock-climbers to take their sport to hitherto undreamed of heights. But the technology could also be used in surgery to keep the edges of wounds together without the need for stitches. There will also be a huge potential in the manufacturing sector to stick millions of components together tighter than ever before without glues or screws.

 

 

From the passage above, it can be hypothesized that nanotechnology in the future will be ...

 

A

 Used for stitching the wounds together

 

B

Used to produce materials that can be shaped into nano-hairs

 

C

Used in the medical field and in the manufacturing sector

 

D

Used to unlock the secrets of the stickiness of gecko toes
