"Message in a Bottle" is a song by English rock band The Police. It was released as the lead single from their second studio album, Reggatta de Blanc(1979). Written by the band's lead singer and bassist Sting. 

The song is ostensibly about a story of a castaway on an island, who sends out a message in a bottle to seek love. A year later, he has not received any sort of response, and despairs, thinking he is destined to be alone. The next day, he sees "a hundred billion bottles" on the shore, finding out that there are more people like him out there.

THE POLICE LYRICS

"Message In A Bottle"

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
(Message in a bottle)

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
(Message in a bottle
Oh, message in a bottle
Message in a bottle)

Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion casatways
Looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
(Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle
Message in a bottle)

Sending out an SOS...

Rain water monitoring - Latvia

Click on the map: You will see some points - there are tables with results. 
Our new scientists are Andra, Dinija, Krista and Ritvars. :)
You can see our students results of research work and pictures about the rain water in our village.
You can see also place in our village where they collected rain water.
Dinija measured rain water Ph. 

Conclusions

·        From the 21 days, where we were monitoring and measuring the rain water, it was raining eight days. Rainy days were 38%  of the total interest amount.

·        The total number of rainfall is 248.2 ml.

·        20^th of October was the day where there was the most ml of the rainfall.

·        ph level.

o   In chemistry, pH (/piː eɪtʃ/ or /piː heɪtʃ/) is a measure of the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. Solutions with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. Pure water has a pH very close to 7. (info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH )

o   In Latvia mostly on the rainy days, the ph level was 5. It means it was acid.

·        Most of the days there was North wind. In other days there was the East, West and North wind.

Research work about the rain water. (monitoring 3 weeks)

During 3 weeks our students had a TASK : to monitorise the rain water. But it wasn't raining so much . We measure the PH and the degree of pollution. Our physic teacher , Serban Paula worked with students from 8th grade .

Researching for rain water

In October the weather was still warm, and in fact it rained, for a very few days, so we got a litle bit of water for our research.
