Welcome! This site is intended for exchanging ideas on the topic of information technologies and their role in global politics. It is part of an online module in the M.A. International Relations Online Program at the Free University of Berlin.

The central theme of the module concerns the nature of global governance in a networked information environment.
We will begin by discussing neorealists and neoliberals' perspectives on the role of the media and information technologies in international relations. We will then define collective action and identify global efforts of such action in the form of transnational advocacy networks and the role of epistemic networks. We will conclude our module exploring the idea that the rise of global information flows has created a new system of governance, one that is parallel to the state system.

Importance of Water Softener in the House

Why Have A Water Softener?

A water softener is a whole-house filtration system that removes hardness-causing calcium and magnesium minerals from your water through a process called ion exchange. A water softener addresses one of the most prevalent and devastating water problems: hard water. Hard water wreaks havoc on the modern home. Scale builds up in your pipes, clogging them and decreasing water pressure. Scale dramatically shortens the lifespan of appliances like dishwashers, coffee makers and ice machines.

Water Softener Benefits

Without a water softener, laundry demands extra detergent to prevent it from looking dingy. Dishes will come out of your dishwasher streaked and stained. Filmy scum builds up on your shower curtains and your soap and shampoo will not lather. Bathing in hard water leaves your skin itchy and dry and your hair lifeless and sticky. The sheer amount of time, energy, and money required to clean up the detrimental side effects of hard water is dizzying. A whole house water softener is the solution to the scourge of water hardness.

Whole House Water System

Did you know that your water can be classified as "hard" if it contains at least 60mg of dissolved calcium and magnesium? In some areas, this number can go as high as 180mg. Defeating the hardness of water is not such a tough challenge but the rewards of it are simply great. You will be needing only one cool device and all those problems with ashy skin, stained dishes and spotty laundry will be gone.
