Shopping
Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. It is a
daily routine for some people. Some people shop for pleasure while other people go
shopping just to buy the necessary items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a
good time to go shopping because people have free time from work. At this time the
shops are usually very busy because people try to get the best items for the lowest price
before the item runs out of stock.
Some people go shopping more regularly than other people to browse products
in shops even when they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping
and allows people to plan ahead and save for the things they want to buy in the future
or wait for the items to drop in price. Some people spend a lot of time looking for
bargains while others do not think of the price and are happy to spend a lot. Some
people believe that the more expensive the item, the better the quality, but this is not
always true. It is sensible to buy items which are affordable, but some people use a
credit card or borrow money from the bank so that they can buy the items they really
want rather than wait for it.
Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy other people
for a special occasion. It is common to buy a gift voucher so that a friend or loved one
can go shopping themselves at their own convenience. Shopping online is often
popular with people who have a busy lifestyle. People are able to order their necessary
and luxury items from the comfort of their own home, or even on the move. Delivery is
usually free and items are often cheaper than in shops on the high street. The only real
problem is that the item description and quality may be different than what they hoped
for. This could mean the customer may become disappointed with the item they
receive and will need to return it at their own cost. People who go to shops to do their
shopping often use self-service payment machines. This usually saves time as the
shopper does not need to join a long queue. However, it can be frustrating when the
machine has a problem and the sales assistant is not always available to help.

The New Coronavirus

What are coronaviruses?
Coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s. They are a group of viruses that
cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract
infections that are typically mild, such as the common cold. The name "coronavirus" is
derived from the Latin corona, meaning crown or halo. The name refers to the
characteristic appearance of the infective form of the virus, which is reminiscent of a
crown or a solar corona.
The new coronavirus
At the end of 2019, a new type of coronavirus started spreading in China. This
type of coronavirus is often called 2019-nCoV, novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. It is
believed that the virus was transmitted from animals to humans. Some of the first cases
were diagnosed in people who had visited a market selling live seafood and animals.
Unfortunately, when viruses are transmitted from animals to people, it can take
scientists a lot of time before they can develop a vaccine or medicines to cure it.
The symptoms of the new coronavirus
Some of the symptoms of the coronavirus are fever, cough, runny nose, sore
throat, headache, and trouble breathing. These symptoms are very much like those
people have with a cold or the flu. The virus can be more serious in some people,
especially if they are sick or have health problems.
While it is early to have a definite picture of the disease because scientists are
still collecting the data, some patterns have already emerged. Some early reports reveal
that children seem to be getting coronavirus at much lower rates than adults. Even if
they get infected, the symptoms are milder. However, most people who get severely
infected are those with a weak immune system, like the elderly. Coronavirus may be
 life-threatening for these people. They may develop more serious respiratory tract
illnesses that may be fatal.
How does the virus spread?
The virus appears to spread mainly from person to person. The transmission
occurs when someone comes into contact with an infected person. For example, a
cough, sneeze or handshake could cause transmission. The spread may also be caused
by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then
touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
Treatment
There is no specific vaccine or medication to cure the disease, but generally,
symptoms will go away on their own. However, experts recommend seeking medical
care early if symptoms feel worse than a standard cold. Doctors can relieve symptoms
by prescribing pain or fever medication. As far as antibiotics are concerned, they are
useless to treat coronavirus.
People who think they may have been exposed to the virus should contact their
healthcare provider immediately. A set of preventive measures are usually followed in
case someone gets infected. This includes keeping infected people in quarantine for a
certain period, generally fourteen days.
How to protect yourself from coronavirus?
To protect yourself from the virus, here are six recommendations to follow:
▪ Avoid contact with people who are already infected.
▪ Wash your hands well and regularly for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or use
hand sanitizer.
▪ Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth if you haven't washed your hands.
▪ Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that people touch a lot.
▪ Stay home when you are sick.
▪ Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

The Nile River

The Nile River is 4,132 miles long. It has two origins or sources. The Blue Nile
begins in the highlands of Ethiopia. The White Nile begins in the center of Africa
known as Equatorial Arica. The two rivers come together near the capital city of
Sudan. Its drainage basin includes 11 countries.

In ancient times, the Nile River gave life to the region. It provided
transportation. All of Egypt's big cities were built on the river, so travel was easy by
water. The river also provided rich soil for farming when the waters flooded over the
banks every year in August and September. The rich soil and Egypt itself were called
by the Greek historian Herodotus the 'gift of the Nile.' If a flood was not as big as it
should be, crops suffered. Too much flooding also destroyed the crops. Heavy rains
and the melting of snow to the south caused the great flooding. Both the ancient
Egyptians and Greeks could not understand how this river could flow from south to
north.

By about 2000 B. C., mention is made of irrigation projects to bring water from
the Nile inland. Crops were planted after the flooding. They ripened by the spring.
Egyptians named three seasons: the flooding (Akhet), the emergence (Peret, when the
flooding stopped and crops could be planted) and Heat or Harvest (Shemu) when the
river was at its lowest point.

The Egyptians called the river Ar or Aur, meaning 'black' referring to the rich
black soil brought to the land with the flooding.' The word 'Nile' does not come from
the Egyptians. It comes from the Greek word neilos, probably from a Semitic word
nahal. It meant a valley or river valley. Then the word was applied to the river itself. It
 played no part in their religion. For them it was not the river which brought about the
abundance of crops, but the flood. They made this flood into a god called Hapy. He
was one of the lesser gods of the Egyptians.

The god is described and shown to be a fat little figure bringing water and food
to the other gods. Hapy was worshiped at the beginning of the flooding. He had no
temple, however. The Egyptians took the river for granted and did not think it was an
especially amazing part of their lives. Their other gods were to them much more
complex than the river. Kings considered themselves to be like Hapy because they
provided for their subjects.

Because of the Nile River, the great Egyptian civilization grew up. The mud
from the Nile River was used to make bricks for the many projects planned by the
rulers. During the less busy months of the year, farmers and laborers were free to work
on building projects for the rulers. These included pyramids, tombs for the rulers,
palaces and other large monuments.

The Ancient Egyptians grew papyrus, wheat and flax along the Nile. These
crops were traded great distances on the river. For the Egyptians, the East symbolized
birth since the sun (the god Ra) rose in the east. The West symbolized death because
the sun set in the west. Thus, people had to be buried on the west side of the Nile
because it was the only way to enter the afterlife.

In 1970, the Aswan Dam was built to end the summer floods. This caused a
great change in farming practices. For many years, usage of the water of the Nile has
been a source of trouble in the political arena of East Africa. The countries of Uganda,
Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya have long disputed Egypt's power over the Nile.
Agreements among the countries have been difficult. In 2010, Ethiopia, Rwanda,
Tanzania and Uganda signed an agreement on how to share the Nile water with much
opposition from Egypt and Sudan.

The White House

The White House is the home and office of the President of the United States.
The White House is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The
first president to live in the White House was John Adams. He moved into the White
House in 1800. Now President Barack Obama lives in the White House.
An architect named James Hoban made the plans for the White House. Hoban
won a design contest held by Pierre Charles L’Enfant. L’Enfant was the main architect
for the capital city of Washington, D.C. The White House was built between 1792 and
1800. It was built of limestone and painted white.
During the War of 1812, the British Army set fire to the White House.
President James Madison moved out while the house was rebuilt. In 1817, James
Monroe moved into the White House.
At first, people called the building the “President’s Palace.” However, because
