  • What is the difference between coast and shore?

    Sometimes the words “coast” and “shore” are used interchangeably, yet there are actually differences between them. One difference is that “coast” applies only to oceans, but “shore” can apply to oceans and other bodies of water such as lakes and rivers. A shore is the zone at the edge of an ocean, lake, or river that is subject to the regular action of tides, waves, and currents, whereas the coast is the land just inland from the shore, beyond the usual reach of high water.

  • The noise

    Long-term exposure to noise can lead to loss of hearing. For better understanding, first, the relative loudness of sounds is measured in decibels. Second, what this means? For instance, the sound of a whisper is 30 decibels, while a normal conversation is 60 decibels. In addition, the noise a vacuum cleaner makes is around 185 decibels. To the ear, the danger zone or the risk of injury begins at around 90. In other words, continual exposure to sounds above 90 decibels can damage the hearing; loud noise, especially when it comes every day, can damage the delicate hair cells in inner ear.

  • Coffee

    All great coffee comes from the same tree, Coffea Arabica. Basically, what does distinguish the taste of coffee is a product of climate, air, and soil in which it is grown. It seems that the perfect climate for coffee production exists between the latitudes of 25 degrees north and 25 degrees south of the equator. The coffee plant is particular about temperature, for example, changes of more than 20 degrees in twenty-hours tend to have harmful effects on production. In general, coffee tree is comfortable where people are. If people feel too cold or hot, especially during flowering and fruit development, the trees are not likely to do well.
