There once were best friends named Damon and Phintias. They lived in Syracus, Sicily in the 4th century BC. They were philosophers of Pythagorean School.

Phintias then begged for permission to go home to finish his private affairs before he’s executed. Dionysius of course refused his request. Phintias felt very hopeless. But then, Damon came to Dionysius and begged to grant Phintias’s request. Damon loyally offered to replace Phintias while he is gone. He is willing to take Phintias place in prison.

Condors are majestic birds. Their average length is about 1 – 1.2 meters. And the male weighs about 11 - 15 kg. Females reproduce slowly, typically laying a single egg every two years.
They are also known to be one of the longest living species of birds. They live up to 60 years in the wild, and 70 years in zoos.
Because of their weight and size, condors are too heavy to fly without help. So, they rely on the wind.

People think that water pollution only occurs in cities where the population is dense and there are many industrial plants. However a study indicates that small towns and villages that were once described as healthy and green areas are now polluted.
Generally, water pollution has three main causes. First, it is industrial waste containing heavy metals. The next cause is the poor sanitation, which contributes significantly to water pollution. Household waste, for example from toilets and laundry detergents, seeps into groundwater without due process. Then the groundwater acquired from drilled wells is again used for household purposes. The third is the farming waste that contains pesticides and chemical fertilizers flowing into rivers and reservoirs as well as seeping into groundwater.
