" Humanure " is a portmanteau neologism designating human excrement ( feces and urine ) that is recycled via composting for agricultural or other purposes.

Humanure is different from night soil, which is raw human waste spread on crops.

Humanure kills these pathogens both by the extreme heat of the composting and the extended amount of time ( 1 to 2 years ) that it is allowed to decompose.

Humanure aids in the conservation of fresh water by avoiding the usage of potable water required by the typical flush toilet.

Humanure may be deemed safe for humans to use on crops if handled in accordance with local health regulations, and composted properly.

The cover of the 2004 album Humanure, featuring a cow excreting human remains, was reportedly censored without permission from the label in some outlets.

An autonomous building is a building designed to be operated independently from infrastructural support services such as the electric power grid, gas grid, municipal water systems, sewage treatment systems, storm drains, communication services, and in some cases, public roads.

NASA's bioreactor is an extremely advanced biological sewage system.

A big disadvantage of complex biological sewage treatment systems is that if the house is empty, the sewage system biota may starve to death.

The basic idea is to provide a small system with primary sewage treatment.

In the event of heavy precipitation, the load on the sewage treatment plant at the end of the pipe becomes too great to handle and raw sewage is dumped into holding tanks, and sometimes into surface water.

This is known as xiàshui ( 下水 ), not to be confused with the term for sewage.

Filtration is also used to describe some biological processes, especially in water treatment and sewage treatment in which undesirable constituents are removed by absorption into a biological film grown on or in the filter medium.

Though it is the responsibility of municipal governments to provide people with healthy water supply, the Hungarian government and the European Union offer subsidies to those who wish to develop water supplies or sewage systems.

Current environmental issues include the fact that the tropical rainforest is subject to deforestation ; soil erosion ; loss of biodiversity and the pollution of coastal waters from oil residue and raw sewage.

There is an extensive subterranean complex located down the manhole, including a sewage system.

For example, a food sample might be analyzed on three different nutrient mediums designed to indicate the presence of " total " bacteria ( conditions where many, but not all, bacteria grow ), molds ( conditions where the growth of bacteria is prevented by, e. g., antibiotics ) and coliform bacteria ( these indicate a sewage contamination ).

Today, the pump is used for irrigation, water supply, gasoline supply, air conditioning systems, refrigeration ( usually called a compressor ), chemical movement, sewage movement, flood control, marine services, etc.

One of the primary pathways by which food or water become contaminated is from the release of untreated sewage into a drinking water supply or onto cropland, with the result that people who eat or drink contaminated sources become infected.

In developing countries most sewage is discharged into the environment or on cropland ; even in developed countries there are periodic system failures resulting in a sanitary sewer overflow.

Recent statistics and observations show that dolphins are at danger of entrapment in purse seine fishing nets and exposure to chemical pollutants ; perhaps the most alarming sign is the " mass suicides " committed by dolphins off Iran's Hormozgan province, which are not well understood, but are suspected to be linked with a deteriorating marine environment from water pollution from oil, sewage, and industrial run offs.

PRWatch. org is a sister site of CMD's ALECexposed. org ( a clearinghouse for information about bills and news about ALEC ), SourceWatch. org ( a specialized wiki that includes original research on corporations, policymakers, and policies, especially on environmental and economic issues ), BanksterUSA. org ( a website devoted to analysis of the financial crisis and Wall Street reform proposals ), and FoodRightsNetwork. org ( which is focused on information about the use of sewage sludge on crops ).

Thus, there is no sewage system, drinking water must be bought from vendors or carried from a nearby tap, and if there is electricity, it is stolen from a passing cable.

`` And if the dive goes OK he has the exclusive import rights to your line for this country, is that right ''??

In fact it has caused us to give serious thought to moving our residence south, because it is not easy for the most objective Southerner to sit calmly by when his host is telling a roomful of people that the only way to deal with Southerners who oppose integration is to send in troops and shoot the bastards down.

As it is, they consider that the North is now reaping the fruits of excess egalitarianism, that in spite of its high standard of living the `` American way '' has been proved inferior to the English and Scandinavian ways, although they disapprove of the socialistic features of the latter.

Historically, however, the concept is one that has been of marked benefit to the people of the Western civilizational group.

While the pattern is uneven, some having gained more than others, nationalism has in fact served the Western peoples well.

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

While sovereignty has roots in antiquity, in its present usage it is essentially modern.

It has nothing of the proud stride of the trained runner about it, it is not a lope, it is not done with style or verve.

It is softened by the saltbush and the bluebush, has a peaceful quality, the hills roll softly.

The music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, William Steinberg, has molded his group into a prominent musical organization, which is his life.

`` Now that Bruno Walter is virtually in retirement and my dear friend Dimitri Mitropoulos is no longer with us, I am probably the only one -- with the possible exception of Leonard Bernstein -- who has this special affinity for and champions the works of Bruckner and Mahler ''.

Even though in most cases the completion of the definitive editions of their writings is still years off, enough documentation has already been assembled to warrant drawing a new composite profile of the leadership which performed the heroic dual feats of winning American independence and founding a new nation.

It is interesting, however, that despite this strong upsurge in Southern writing, almost none of the writers has forsaken the firmly entrenched concept of the white-suited big-daddy colonel sipping a mint julep as he silently recounts the revenue from the season's cotton and tobacco crops ; ;

But the South is, and has been for the past century, engaged in a wide-sweeping urbanization which, oddly enough, is not reflected in its literature.

In the meantime, while the South has been undergoing this phenomenal modernization that is so disappointing to the curious Yankee, Southern writers have certainly done little to reflect and promote their region's progress.

An approach that has appealed to some choreographers is reminiscent of Charles Olson's statement of the process of projective verse: `` one perception must immediately and directly lead to a further perception ''.

The process stipulates that the choreographer sense the quality of the initial movement he has discovered and that he feel the rightness of the quality that is to follow it.

but for this discussion the most important division is between those who have been reconstructed and those who haven't.

Had the situation been reversed, had, for instance, England been the enemy in 1898 because of issues of concern chiefly to New England, there is little doubt that large numbers of Southerners would have happily put on their old Confederate uniforms to fight as allies of Britain.

It is extraordinary that a people as proud and warlike as Southerners should have been as docile as they have.

They are huge areas which have been swept by winds for so many centuries that there is no soil left, but only deep bare ridges fifty or sixty yards apart with ravines between them thirty or forty feet deep and the only thing that moves is a scuttling layer of sand.

The `` approximate '' is important, because even after the order of the work has been established by the chance method, the result is not inviolable.

Yet often fear persists because, even with the most rigid ritual, one is never quite free from the uneasy feeling that one might make some mistake or that in every previous execution one had been unaware of the really decisive act.

Even in domains where detailed and predictive understanding is still lacking, but where some explanations are possible, as with lightning and weather and earthquakes, the appropriate kind of human action has been more adequately indicated.

In addition, they have been converted to Zen Buddhism, with its glorification of all that is `` natural '' and mysteriously alive, the sense that everything in the world is flowing.

He is the conveyor of a sacred reality by which he has been grasped.

Was it supposed, perchance, that A & M ( vocational training, that is ) was quite sufficient for the immigrant class which flooded that part of the New England world in the post-Civil War period, the immigrants having been brought in from Southern Europe, to work in the mills, to make up for the labor shortage caused by migration to the West??

He is utterly disappointed in himself and in the desultory life he has been leading.

His peculiar gift, as had been suggested before, is his intensity.

This is an unsolved problem which probably has never been seriously investigated, although one frequently hears the comment that we have insufficient specialists of the kind who can compete with the Germans or Swiss, for example, in precision machinery and mathematics, or the Finns in geochemistry.

That is to say Gabriel's fundamental law had been so much modified by this time that it was neither fundamental nor law any more.
