Seawater quality and microbial communities at a desalination plant marine outfall. A field study at the Israeli Mediterranean coast.
Global desalination quadrupled in the last 15 years and the relative importance of seawater desalination by reverse osmosis (SWRO) increased as well. While the technological aspects of SWRO plants are extensively described, studies on the environmental impact of brine discharge are lacking, in particular in situ marine environmental studies. The Ashqelon SWRO plant (333,000 m(3) d(-1) freshwater) discharges brine and backwash of the pre-treatment filters (containing ferric hydroxide coagulant) at the seashore, next to the cooling waters of a power plant. At the time of this study brine and cooling waters were discharged continuously and the backwash discharge was pulsed, with a frequency dependent on water quality at the intake. The effects of the discharges on water quality and neritic microbial community were identified, quantified and attributed to the different discharges. The mixed brine-cooling waters discharge increased salinity and temperature at the outfall, were positively buoyant, and dispersed at the surface up to 1340 m south of the outfall. Nutrient concentrations were higher at the outfall while phytoplankton densities were lower. Chlorophyll-a and picophytoplankton cell numbers were negatively correlated with salinity, but more significantly with temperature probably as a result of thermal pollution. The discharge of the pulsed backwash increased turbidity, suspended particulate matter and particulate iron and decreased phytoplankton growth efficiency at the outfall, effects that declined with distance from the outfall. The discharges clearly reduced primary production but we could not attribute the effect to a specific component of the discharge. Bacterial production was also affected but differently in the three surveys. The combined and possible synergistic effects of SWRO desalination along the Israeli shoreline should be taken into account when the three existing plants and additional ones are expected to produce 2 Mm(3) d(-1) freshwater by 2020.

Lesson: Introduction to Economics

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Economics is the study of how societies allocate scarce resources to meet unlimited wants and needs. It is divided into two broad branches: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics studies the behavior of individual consumers and firms, while macroeconomics examines the performance of the entire economy.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider an example. Suppose there is a shortage of bread in a town. If the price of bread increases, people may choose to buy fewer loaves of bread or switch to other types of food like rice or pasta. This is an example of supply and demand in action. As the price of bread increases, the quantity demanded by consumers decreases, leading to a decrease in the overall demand for bread.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Why do you think governments sometimes intervene in the economy? Do you think this intervention is always necessary? What are some potential drawbacks of government intervention?

## Glossary

- Scarcity: The fundamental economic problem that arises because resources are limited and there are unlimited wants and needs.
- Opportunity cost: The value of the next best alternative that must be given up when making a choice.
- Supply and Demand: The relationship between the quantity of a good or service that producers are willing to provide and the quantity that consumers are willing to purchase, which determines the market price.
- Equilibrium: The point at which the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded, resulting in a stable market price.

## Conclusion

Understanding the basics of economics can help us make informed decisions as consumers, workers, and citizens. By studying economics, we can better understand how our choices impact the world around us and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Airsoft, paintballing and eye protection

How much damage can one small pellet do? How much damage can paint do? Quite a lot it would seem, as a recent study in the United States has found. Experts at Baltimore University have recently reported that eye injuries in paintball account for 10% of all sporting eye injuries, often leaving particularly serious results.

Blinding risks

Paintballs travel at around 160 – 190mph. Although their range is short, they can pose quite a threat to vulnerable parts of the body. Specific rules against removing protective face masks and shooting at somebody’s face within a certain distance are there for a reason.

Protective face masks are also worn at airsoft games in which small plastic pellets can also be seen flying at speeds of 300mph. Again they have a short range compared to real bullets and carry less weight but again vs. vulnerable body parts can be particularly dangerous.

The most common risk of paintballs and airsoft pellets are connecting with the eyes (and to a lesser extent the ears). Normally hitting naked skin would be unlikely to cause any serious damage other than leave a rather large welt and bruise. This doesn’t apply to ears and eyes however due to the sensitivity of the areas.

Where do standards slip?

The recent study also suggested that paintball and airsoft guns are responsible for 1 in 10 sports related eye injuries. The problem itself is generally not considered to be the pellets or the guns themselves but the protective equipment used.

In the vast majority of paintball and airsoft centres across the country, equipment provided should be more than adequate protection such as a full face mask with visor. Even in more “professional” settings of organised teams that use half head helmets, the usual design is of a full visor to protect the eyes and offer some protection for the ears to prevent pellets or paintballs from striking the more sensitive areas.

The problem lies commonly with game organisers and those putting on the events. An article back in 1999 by the BBC, pointed out the growing problem as paintball began to become a very popular leisure activity. The article suggested that some less reputable organiser’s safety standards “may or may not be up to scratch”. This alludes to either using outdated, damaged, unsafe equipment or not checking that players have adequate eye protection if they have brought their own (sometimes allowing sunglasses as protection which are far from safe).

Even professionally organised games carry risks

What if I have been affected?

When you visit any leisure activity that contains an element of physical risk you should always be given a safety brief. Once you are in the care of a game organiser or official they then have a duty of care to ensure they do everything possible to keep you from harm. Providing poor equipment including unsafe helmets or faulty guns can put people at risk of far more than bruising if the pellets get anywhere near the eyes, nose or face.

If you have suffered an injury as part of an event like paintball or airsoft resulting from poor instruction, poor safety standards or poor equipment, then you can claim compensation as the organiser has failed in their duty to protect you.

Lesson: Eye Protection in Airsoft and Paintball Games

Introduction:

In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of wearing eye protection during airsoft and paintball games. We will explore the potential risks associated with these activities and discuss why protecting our eyes is crucial.

Section 1: Understanding the Risks

1.1 What are the potential risks of playing airsoft and paintball without wearing eye protection?

Answer: Playing airsoft and paintball without wearing eye protection can lead to serious eye injuries, including scratches, abrasions, and even blindness. The small pellets used in these games can travel at high speeds and cause significant damage to the eyes.

1.2 Why is it essential to wear protective gear during airsoft and paintball games?

Answer: Wearing protective gear, such as a helmet and face mask, is crucial because it helps prevent head and facial injuries. However, eye protection is especially important because the eyes are vulnerable and can be easily injured by stray pellets.

Section 2: Understanding Eye Anatomy

2.1 What are the parts of the eye that can be damaged during airsoft and paintball games?

Answer: The cornea, iris, lens, and retina are the main parts of the eye that can be damaged during airsoft and paintball games. These structures are responsible for focusing light, maintaining vision, and transmitting images to the brain.

2.2 What are some common eye injuries associated with airsoft and paintball games?

Answer: Some common eye injuries associated with airsoft and paintball games include corneal abrasions, conjunctivitis, and hyphemas. These injuries can result in pain, redness, swelling, and impaired vision. In severe cases, they may require medical attention and treatment.

Section 3: Preventing Eye Injuries

3.1 What types of eye protection should be used during airsoft and paintball games?

Answer: During airsoft and paintball games, it is essential to wear protective eyewear designed specifically for these activities. This includes goggles or glasses with impact-resistant lenses that cover the entire eye area.

3.2 How should eye protection be worn to ensure maximum protection?

Answer: Eye protection should be worn securely and comfortably to avoid any gaps between the skin and the goggles or glasses. It is also crucial to ensure that the eyewear is free of scratches and in good condition before each game.

Section 4: Self-Debate Discussion

4.1 Why is it essential to prioritize eye protection during airsoft and paintball games?

Answer: Prioritizing eye protection during airsoft and paintball games is crucial because the eyes are delicate and can be easily injured by stray pellets. Losing vision or suffering permanent eye damage can have long-lasting effects on an individual's quality of life.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, wearing appropriate eye protection during airsoft and paintball games is essential to prevent severe eye injuries. By understanding the risks and importance of eye protection, we can make informed decisions about our safety and well-being while participating in these activities.

**Lesson:** Docker Basics

**Introduction:**
Docker is a powerful tool that allows developers to package their applications and dependencies into containers that can be easily moved between different environments. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of Docker, including how to create and run containers, and how to work with Docker images.

**Section 1: Introduction to Docker**

Docker is a platform that allows developers to build, ship, and run applications in containers. Containers are lightweight, portable, and self-sufficient, making them ideal for modern software development. Docker provides a standard way to package, ship, and run applications, making it easier for developers to work together and deliver software faster.

**Section 2: Creating and Running Containers**

To create a container, we use the `docker run` command. This command takes a Docker image and runs it as a container. We can also pass arguments to the container using the `-v` flag. For example, if we want to run a container that listens on a specific port, we can use the `-p` flag to map that port to a host port.

```
$ docker run -p 8080:80 myregistry/maven:3-alpine
```

This command creates a container from the `myregistry/maven:3-alpine` image and exposes port 8080 on the host machine to port 80 inside the container.

**Section 3: Working with Docker Images**

Docker images are immutable, read-only templates that define a software application with all its dependencies. Images are stored in a registry, which is a service that stores and serves images. We can pull images from a registry using the `docker pull` command, and then run them using the `docker run` command.

```
$ docker pull myregistry/maven:3-alpine
```

This command pulls the `myregistry/maven:3-alpine` image from the registry.

**Section 4: Debugging with Docker**

Docker provides a powerful debugging tool called `docker exec`. This command runs a command inside a running container. For example, if we want to run a command inside a container, we can use the `docker exec` command.

```
$ docker exec -it myregistry/maven:3-alpine /bin/bash
```

This command runs a Bash shell inside the `myregistry/maven:3-alpine` container.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we explored the basics of Docker, including how to create and run containers, work with Docker images, and debug applications using Docker. By understanding these fundamental concepts, developers can leverage the power of Docker to deliver software faster and more efficiently.

**Glossary**
- Container: A lightweight, portable, and self-sufficient executable software package that includes everything needed to run an application.
- Docker Image: An immutable, read-only template that defines a software application with all its dependencies.
- Docker Registry: A service that stores and serves Docker images.
- Docker Run: A command that creates a container from a Docker image.
- Docker Exec: A command that runs a command inside a running container.

**Appendix: Practice Exercises**

1. Create a Dockerfile that builds a simple web application using Node.js.
2. Pull an image from a Docker registry and run it in a container.
3. Use Docker exec to run a command inside a running container.
4. Debug a Docker container by running commands inside it.
