    Thomas Green

    Among modern methods of growing crops, Hydroponics occupies a special place as an environmentally friendly, resource-saving, and high potential technology.Its further development and improvement of which will help solve the global problems of mankind, including the most significant among them - providing food to an ever-growing number of people on our planet. If at the beginning of the twentieth century, the population of the Earth was 1.5 billion people, today it has exceeded 7.6 billion.This situation requires a further increase in productivity in the agricultural sector, which, in the context of the application of traditional technologies, has led to the intensive use of fertilizers and pesticides that saturate the soil with unsafe chemicals. Due to climate change, vast areas set aside for agriculture suffer from drought. Genetically modified products cannot fully provide for the consumer market, and their effect on our body cannot be considered fully understood. All these factors confirm the need to search for new, more effective methods of growing crops, one of which is hydroponics.The history of the emergence of hydroponics is associated with centuries of research by scientists, as a result of which a huge number of experiments were carried out that made it possible to determine the optimal balanced nutritional composition to ensure the vital activity of plants. As it turned out, the soil environment for crops is not necessary, and the most important elements in their nutrition are now known. Plants successfully grow and develop if their root system is in contact with an aqueous medium containing all the necessary substances. This fact became fundamental for the development of hydroponics as a new method of crop production.I am certain that you will want to learn about this “idea of the future”. The leaders in this area are countries such as the Netherlands, France, Great Britain, Israel, Canada, and Australia, where for several decades, experiments have been carried out to search and develop more advanced methods of soilless cultivation that are adapted to local conditions and meet certain requirements of the consumer market.

    What would you do to save your lover?And what if you had a nuclear bomb?Evelyn was kidnapped and is being held in the Middle East. And I, Lucas, am going to rescue her.She is held in Ubar, the Atlantis of the Sands, a city that officially doesn't exist. That suits me perfectly because I am not coming in peace.Though things don't go great as the first thing I do is that I accidentally give a ten years old girl my angelic blessing. I name her Lillith and have to take her with me.That's a problem since I cannot allow her to become a fallen angel like I am. To avoid that, I balance rescuing Evelyn with raising the young girl, all the while I conceal who I am, what I do, and hide the carnage I leave behind.Yet Ubar's defenses are endless. Worse, the ruling Sultan is borderline immortal and has entirely different plans for Evelyn.To convince him to let her go, I get myself a nuclear bomb. I would rather start a world war than give up on her.
