Microbial interactions are ubiquitous, diverse, critically important in the function of any biological community.
The most common cooperative interactions seen in microbial systems are mutually beneficial. The interactions between the two populations are classified according to whether both populations and one of them benefit from the associations, or one or both populations are negatively affected.

Nearly all water in the world contains contaminants, even in the absence of nearby pollution-causing activities
Many dissolved minerals, carbon compounds, and microbes find their way into drinking water as it comes in contact with air and soil
When pollutant and contaminant levels in drinking water are high, they may affect household routines and be detrimental to human health
The only way to ensure that your water supply is safe is to have a periodic laboratory water quality analysis done on your drinking water. Hach India is the leading provider of high end water quality analysis equipment in india

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. Water Microbiology
The study of diversity of microorganisms –
viruses, bacteria, algae, protozoa and
microscopic fungi – which inhabit and
perform activities essential to life in fresh,
estuarine and marine waters, including
springs, lakes, rivers, bays and seas
comes under the umbrella of Water
Microbiology.
3. IMPORTANCE:
Every thing originated in the water & everything
is sustained by water.
All life on earth depends on water.
Man uses water for many purposes.
- drinking
- irrigation
- fisheries
- industrial processes
- transportation
- waste disposal
4. IMPORTANCE OF WATER
• For life
• Inorganic constituent of living matter.
Medium for Growth:
Second natural medium
• Contain mineral nutrients and dissolved oxygen.
• Organic matter = Microbial Population.
• Microbial population higher in Rivers near thickly populated cities
than village.
• PH, Temperature range & inorganic phosphate & situation of the
lake.
• Availability of possible factors (Zinc & Coppers)- limits growth of
Microbes. & Poor quantity of nitrate and nitrogen.
• Calcium-harmful for algae.
15. TYPES OF WATER
1. Atmospheric water: Rain water & Snow water (dust,
soot & suspended particles & Air borne bacteria)
2. Surface water: Mountain, river water also. (organic
matter, Soil microflora). Saprophytic Spp. & Protozoa.
3. Ground water: Water percolates (few bacteria & little
amount of organic matter). (Microbes cannot multiply)
4. Stored water: Pounds, Reservoirs, Lakes & Ocean.
• Microbial Population decreases
X Area
X Types of vegetation
X Seasons
X Individual chemical components
X Total inorganic Salt contents.
• Protozoa Presents.
20. Classified Based on Suitability for
support of living matter.
Stored Water:
1. Eutrophic Lake: Well nourished
2. Oligotrophic Lake: Poorly nourished
3. Dystrophic Lake: High Organic matter
of special type – Lake dark and acidic.

special type – Lake dark and acidic.
24. Water Impurities
• Sea water ( about 3% dissolved mineral
impurities)
• Connote water (Produced with some
crude oils, sometimes 20 to 30%
dissolved salts)
• Brackish water ( Industrial waste water)
• Measured in Parts Per Million (ppm)
- 10,000 ppm = 0.015%
25. FRESH WATER MICROBIOLOGY
Fresh Water Environments are characterized by low
salinity and variability in temperature, PH & oxygen
concentration and contain microorganisms belonging to
all major taxonomic groups.
(eg. Aerobes (bacillus), Anaerobes (Clostridium), Aquatic fungi – Chytrids
(Zoospora), Ingoldian fungi(Detuteromycetes),
26. Fresh Water Aquatic Ecosystems (Lakes & Ponds)
Littoral/shoreline Zone – area of shallow water near the shore – light
penetrates to the bottom

– Pleosaprophytic Zone: Heavily Polluted Zone
of water reservoir and contains sufficient
amount of Organic residues of plants and
animals.
– Mesosaprophytic Zone: Less polluted due to
high rate of mineralisation and oxidation of
organic matter.
– Oligosaphrophytic zone: pure and clear water
