The design of the building will make it environmentally friendly, using technologies such as floor-to-ceiling,installing glass to contain day light.It also contains grey water systemand captures rain water and reuses it.The conctete of the building has 55% of cement and 45% of slag.
The use of slag cement reduces damage to the environment by decreasing the amount of cement needed for the building, which in turn lowers the amount of carbon dioxide greenhouse gasproduced through normal cement manufacturing. Bank of America also states that the building will be made largely of recycled and recyclable materials.

My Experiences On Niagara Falls
My Experiences On Niagara Falls
Form the first day of my trip to America I wanted to go to Niagara Falls.I couldn't see the falls from far due to the fog. but when we went in The Maid Of the Mist I could see the falls in front of me which was amazing.The height of the falls was itself astonishing.Its height was around 750 feet.The shape of the falls was a horse shoe.The sound of the falls was very calm and peaceful.From there we moved on to to a view of THE American falls which was also very beautiful.
It was drizzling but we never new. We were just enjoying the nature there.From there we moved on to Cave Of The Winds in which we were able to touch The American falls which was amazing.They gave us some coats and sandles.We wore them and went on.I touched the falls with my hand.the water was very cold and icy.
From there we drank some beverages and moved on to watch Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Lake Erie was very huge and flat.We went went on a bridge to get a better view of the lake.In short Niagara Falls was the best water fall I have seen.

Google
Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry.Page and Sergey Brien they were both PHD students at Stanford University in Califonea. While conventional engines ranked results by counting how many times the search terms appeared on the page, the two theorized about a better system that analyzed the relationships between websites. They called this new technology Page rank where a website's relevance was determined by the number of pages, and the importance of those pages, that linked back to the original site.
A small search engine called Rank dex was already exploring a similar strategy. Page and Brien originally nicknamed their new search engine "Back Rub", because the system checked back links to estimate the importance of a site. Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word " Gogol",the number one followed by one hundred zeros.It means that it can search unlimited number of things. Originally, Google ran under the Stanford website, with the domain goggle.Stanford.edu.
The domain googly.com was registered on September 15, 1997,and the company was incorporated on September 4, 1998, at a friend's garage in Men lo Park.Califonia.The first funding for Google was an August 1998 contribution of $100,000.
Sergey Brien (born August 21, 1973) is a Russian-American computer scientist.Sergey Brien was born in Moscow.In 1979, when Brien was six, his family felt compelled to emigrate to the United States.his ambition was to become a astronomer.He continued his studies in America.He studied in the University of Maryland.Brien began his graduate study in Computer Science .
Lawrence "Larry" Page(born March 26, 1973) is an American computer engineer.Page was born into a Jewish family in East Michigan. His parents were computer science professors at Michigan University.Page said that "their house was usually a mess, with computers and Popular Science magazines all over the place.Page ran Google as co-president along with Brin until 2001

My experiences on hiking
My experiences on hiking
We wanted to start early in the morning but delayed due to rain.I was exited to go to the hiking area. then slowly the sun showed itself.then we started to the hiking area.
First we went to a farm which was full of different animals and birds we climbed the hay bale mountains and went to the hiking mountain.
At first I thought would be a simple,steep mountain climbing.But it was way over my expectation.When we started we saw an animal,I thought it was a wolf but it was a well trained dog.I loved going into the woods,throwing stones in the stream.While throwing the stones I learnt a new game.In between we climbed some bridges.We collected some sticks to smack the wild animals that come in on. While going further into the woods we saw different worms and birds.I loved going near the small waterfall in the way.I wanted to cross it but we saw that the water was too dirty.My mom loved collecting some flowers.The most favorite was climbing the up rooted tree.We started our way back.In between we took some quick snaps.Then our way back started.after all of the hiking we were all tired and exhausted . we searched for a suitable place and had our lunch and played in the lawn.First of all I loved these kind of things and moreover this was great.In a sentence this was one of my unforgettable experiences.

STATUE OF LIBERTY
STATUE OF LIBERTY
The Statue of Liberty was given to the Americans by the people of France to represent the friendship between the two countries established during the American revolution Discussions in France over a suitable gift to the United States to mark the Centennial of the American Declaration of Independence.It was dedicated on October 28, 1886,is a monument signing America's independence. It represents a women wearing a stola,broken chain and a eleven edged star crown.The women is carrying a torch in her right hand and a tabular in her left hand. Standing on the Liberty island it welcomes visitors and Americans traveling by ship. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi sculptured the statue and obtained a patent.Gustave Eiffel (engineer and designer of Eiffel towers)was responsible for the choice of copper. The torch is plated with gold. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall.Bartholdi had initially planned to have the statue completed and presented to the United States on July 4, 1876, but a late start and subsequent delays prevented it.However, by that time the right arm and torch were completed. These parts of the statue were displayed to people, charged 50 cents to climb the ladder to the balcony. The money raised this way was used to start funding the pedestal.The construction of the statue was completed in France in July 1884. The cornerstone of the pedestal, designed by American architect Morris hunt, was laid on August 5, 1884, but the construction had to be stopped by lack of funds in January 1885. It was resumed on May 11, 1885 after a renewed fund campaign by Joseph Pulitzer in March 1885. Thirty-eight of the forty-six courses of masonry were yet to be built.The statue arrived in New York Harbor on June 17, 1885.On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled by President Grover Cleverland front of thousands of spectators. New York legislature to contribute $50,000 to build the pedestal.
