The Science Museum is located on Exhibition Road in South Kensington and is part of the National Museum of Science and Industry. The museum is a major London tourist attraction.

The Science Museum consists of a number of galleries, some of which are permanent, and some of which are temporary.

Power: The East Hall

The East Hall is the first area that most visitors see as they enter the building, stretching up through three floors.

On the ground, the area is mostly filled with iconic steam engines of various sorts, which together tell the story of the British industrial revolution.

Up in the air, suspended from the ceiling is giant metallic ring, the inside of which is covered in white LEDs which form patterns and display messages typed into kiosks by visitors in the Energy gallery. Also in the East Hall is a Waterstone’s bookshop, selling only books related to popular science and mathematics in accordance with the museum, and the Revolution café.

-since 18 years, no woman has been pregnantà women are no longer able to give birth to a baby

- therefore all over the world chaos predominates and great Britain is the only organised society

- this is the reason why many refugees want to immigrate into the country but the government tries to prevent this à the illegal immigrants are arrested and brought into camps and also killed by the government

- there is a underground group called “the fishes” wanting to improve the situation of the immigrants (the government calls them terrorists)

In our podcast, Julianne, the leader of “the fishes”, calls the “Human Project”, a ship concealed as cutter where scientists want to find out how infertility can be cured, because she has surprising news…

Scientist:  Hello?

Julianne:  Hello, it’s me Julianne. I’m the leader of the activist-group “Fishes”. We’ve already talked….

Scientist:   So how is the situation in London?

Julianne:  The situation is getting worse. Great Britain is now under military control, but everything still is in chaos.  Millions of refugees are killed in the most brutal way in the refugees camps. All the people of our organization are chased and treated like terrorists…

Scientist:  I’ve heard about it … and how do the people cope with the death of our baby Diego?

Julianne:  The people are hopeless and sad, now that the youngest boy on earth dies at the age of 18. 18 years of infertility.

Scientist: I’ve to admit that it is still a misery for us. Although we have the latest technology on our bout, we can’t find the reason why women can’t get pregnant anymore.

Julianne:  That’s why I wanted to talk to you urgently. There is still some more hope left, but I need your help. I’m in contact with a refugee called Key…. We are hiding her, it’s important to get her on your boat, because it’s the only place, where she will be save.

Scientist:  I understand, you want to protect her, but “Human Project” is not mend to put up anybody , who’s in danger.

Julianne:  She is not just anybody, she’s our only hope: SHE IS PREGNANT!!!

Scientist:  I’ve always hoped, that this day will come,  when can you bring her.

Julianne:  I will call as soon as everything is arranged. If everything works out, we will meet at the secret point in 4 days.

Scientist:  Be sure we will be there, and good luck to you!

-In 1913: steamboat Liemba was constructed in Papenburg by the Meyer-Werft

- ordered by emperor Wilhelm II.

- till May 1927 it had the name “Graf Götzen” (after Gustav Adolf Graf von Götzen)

- for the Tanganjikasea in the colony German-East Africa

- construction time: 10 months

- 160.000 rivets were needed to hold the ship together

- for transportation it was packed in 5.000 wooden boxes

The trip from Papenburg to the Tanganjikasea

Firstly, the boxes were brought to Hamburg by train, then with a steamship to Daressalam, the capital of the colony. From Daressalam, the boxes were transported by the new opened railway to the Tanganjikasea in Kigoma

There, about 270 people (250 natives, 20 Indians) assembled the ship under the direction of three ship constructors of the Meyer Werft.

 6. Reflexion

So, in the easter holidays I went to the Landschaftsbibliothek in order to search for adequate material, but it turned out that the books I found in the computer had to be ordered by inter-library loan. For that reason the madam in the library told me that I would have to wait several weeks to receive the books; some of them have not been arrived yet. 

Nevertheless, I started scanning the books being already there, marked important and usuful pages with notepads and wrote down some relevant notes.

But there is still the problem that I have no idea which subhead would be appropriate;  I am still wondering about if it is easier to reflect on a formulation of a question or on a clause of statement or if it’s necessary at all.

Anyway, I defered this question and determined that it is more useful so start with the structure before poring on that concern.                                                                                    So I did by means of the books and in a moment I will show it to Mr. Doanth including some proposals for the subhead.*       

*added:

We agreed that a subhead is not necessary for such a multifaceted character like Desmond Tutu.

A lot, although if you can’t imagine it very well. Every Year, Valentine’s Day causes a real boom of the flower industry.  The German, for instance, spend about 3 billion euro on cut flowers per year, thereof 1 billion for roses. 

Kenya, with its big rose- and pink farms around the Naivasha Lake, supplies a quarter of the imported cut flowers on the European market.

At first glance, this doesn’t seem to be a problem but in respect to the aspect water, the whole thing has a flipside: Flowers consist two-thirds of the most important and valuable element water. To result from this, the amount of water an average flower exporter delivers to Europe per year could satisfy the needs of water of a city with 20000 (!) inhabitants! 

When draught dominates, the farms suck a determined quantity of water out of the lake. However, the sewage, polluted by phosphates and azotes, sets back and destroys the natural balance of the lake: Water hyacinths cover almost the whole water surface like carpets, whereupon the oxygen can’t reach the surface. In this way, the lake is killed slowly. 

Many different, partially forbidden, chemical substances which are used for fertilization or protection of the plants will burden the environment for years. Absolutely necessary in the flower industry: ecological and social sustainability !
