The document contains questions and resources about rural communities and sustainability. It discusses advantages and disadvantages of living in the countryside, changes that have occurred such as modern farming techniques, the conversion of old rural buildings for new uses, factors driving up house prices in villages, and reasons for people moving to the countryside like school quality and retirement. Sussex County Council aims to encourage local produce buying and more affordable housing to make villages more sustainable.
The document discusses evidence of global warming in Antarctica. It notes that the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed 2.5 degrees Celsius over the past 50 years, much faster than the global average. This rapid warming led to the Larsen B ice shelf, the size of Cornwall, breaking off in 2002. While temperatures have increased on the peninsula and parts of the West Antarctic ice sheet are thinning, the East Antarctic ice sheet does not show signs of warming. Global warming is also affecting the Southern Ocean by causing earlier sea ice melt and more ice-free areas in summer. This is impacting the Antarctic marine ecosystem as warmer waters reduce phytoplankton and krill populations.
The document discusses proper use of information and communication technology (ICT) at a school, including keeping passwords secret, logging out of computers, saving work regularly, organizing files in home directories with sensible names, and opening and saving shared files to personal directories.
This document provides questions to consider when describing a place, including its location, landforms, water features, population, settlement patterns, climate, vegetation, transportation access, jobs, and an overall conclusion summarizing the place and one's thoughts on it. Key details to include are the latitude and longitude, terrain shape, rivers or lakes present, population size and density, types of housing and towns, average temperatures and rainfall, dominant plant life, available travel methods, and common occupations.
The UK iron and steel industry has undergone changes in location away from old coalfield sites where coal was used to power traditional industries. Many heavy industries like steel and iron have declined and been replaced by lighter assembly industries like electronics. Technological changes have resulted in automated production replacing traditional labor methods, reducing the workforce. Foreign manufacturers have been attracted to the UK, particularly areas offering government assistance. Overall, fewer people are employed in UK manufacturing as the economy shifts to tertiary industries.
The document discusses how farming in the EU has changed due to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP provides subsidies to farmers to increase production of certain crops and livestock. It also provides grants to farmers for major projects to further increase production. The CAP uses quotas to control production rates and penalize farmers who exceed quotas. The goals of the CAP are to increase food supply at reasonable prices while maintaining jobs and income for farmers. The CAP has both advantages of securing food supplies, jobs, and increasing farmer income as well as disadvantages like destroying hedgerows and using more pesticides and fertilizers. Over time, the CAP has limited production such that some farmers now use their land for golf courses and shops instead of farming.
The document provides instructions for students' controlled assessment tasks and lessons for the week. It asks students to:
1) Create a motivational poster promoting Bristol that would attract people to the city, considering its history and heritage.
2) Work on a PowerPoint presentation about Bristol, including slides on the city's location, population, importance, famous people, changes over time, current problems like congestion and pollution, and possible solutions.
3) Upload their completed poster and PowerPoint to the teacher's email by the assigned deadlines.
Climate zones can be broadly categorized into tropical, polar, and temperate regions based on average annual temperatures and precipitation levels. Tropical climates are hottest and have consistent temperatures year-round, while polar climates are coldest and have long winters with little to no plant growth. Temperate climates fall between these extremes, experiencing distinct seasons with moderate seasonal temperature variations and adequate rainfall throughout the year.

The document discusses various tools that can help focus work, simplify efforts, and allow for collaboration including:
- Google Apps for creating and sharing documents, spreadsheets, calendars, and email
- Google Analytics for metrics and analytics reporting
- Basecamp for project management and collaboration
- Backpack for a customizable intranet
- Subversion and svnX for version control and safeguarding development changes
- OmniGraffle for wireframes and site maps
The document emphasizes that technology should empower users and the right tools can help focus work, simplify efforts, and allow for collaboration and sharing.
1) It is generally not safe to share personal information like your full name, age, location, phone number, or passwords online with strangers.
2) Chatting in chatrooms and sharing your interests are okay, but meeting up with someone you just met online carries risks.
3) If you are being cyberbullied, telling someone you trust like a parent or teacher is the best way to make it stop. Keeping it secret or confronting the bully will likely not help resolve the situation.
The document discusses beginner quality assurance (QA) testing of websites. It defines QA and explains that QA testing ensures quality in work activities and that products meet requirements. Website QA has some unique aspects because websites are constantly evolving and updated. The document recommends implementing both web standards and company guidelines for effective QA processes. It outlines various QA testing methods including validation testing, data comparison, usability testing, and provides guidelines for drafting checklists and questions for testers.
