Water has unique properties due to its polar nature and ability to form hydrogen bonds. It is polar because the oxygen atom pulls electron density away from the hydrogen atoms, giving water partial positive and negative ends. This allows water molecules to form weak attractions called hydrogen bonds where the positive end of one molecule is attracted to the negative end of another. These hydrogen bonds give water high surface tension, cohesion between water molecules, and adhesion to other polar substances, allowing many compounds to dissolve in water and form solutions.
Towards a classification framework for social machines copySOCIAM Project

This document provides an overview of an upcoming workshop on changes to the Roman Missal liturgy in 2011. It begins by acknowledging concerns some have about the changes but expresses that exploring the history and purpose of the liturgy helped change the presenter's own hesitations. The document then gives a brief historical overview of the development of liturgy from the Passover to the current Roman Missal to provide context for understanding the changes. It explains that the changes aim for a more formal translation from Latin to English rather than a paraphrased dynamic translation, in order to more fully capture the intended meaning.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
