The film begins by retelling the biblical story of Noah building an ark to survive a coming flood ordered by God to purge humanity of its wickedness. Noah has visions warning of the coming flood and is told by his grandfather Methuselah that he must build an ark. Noah, with the help of stone giant angels called Watchers, builds the ark and collects animal pairs. As the floodwaters rise, Noah's family and the animals escape aboard the ark as the rest of humanity perishes in the flood. After the waters recede, Noah's family disembarks and he performs a ritual blessing the next generation to begin anew.
Portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (pXRF) allows for non-destructive analysis of archaeological artifacts but has limitations. Surface analyses may not be representative of the bulk composition due to corrosion effects. Different instruments require calibration and may not produce directly comparable results without standards. pXRF can provide an initial analysis of components but more accurate analysis of alloy composition requires other techniques on cleaned samples.
The presenter is the president of Vertical Measures, an online marketing firm. He discusses why search engine optimization is important, noting that 93% of buyers conduct searches and 94% click organic links over paid links. He then outlines the eight key steps for a successful search optimization strategy: keyword research, developing content, optimizing elements, promoting content, distributing content, building links, measuring results, and achieving success through all eight steps.

The document discusses challenges facing museums in addressing controversial social and political issues. It notes that museums' traditional models of spectatorship and consumerism are rigid and unable to genuinely engage in participatory dialogue. While some argue museums should take a neutral stance, others believe they must go further in addressing issues like climate change and racial inequality. The document examines debates around whether museums should provoke difficult discussions or take an activist role in facilitating understanding between diverse viewpoints. It provides examples of projects aimed at creating intercultural dialogue and discusses skills like facilitation that can help museums navigate controversial issues.
The document provides information on the top 30 ranked US National Universities for 2014-15, including tuition and fees, enrollment numbers, and campus setting for each school. It details the origins and locations of prestigious universities such as Princeton, which was the first to offer grants instead of loans to students in need, and Harvard, the oldest and wealthiest institution. The list also includes public Ivy League schools like University of California-Berkeley and University of Virginia alongside private research universities like Stanford, MIT, and Johns Hopkins.

The document summarizes the creation of the New International Version of the Bible. It was created by an independent committee in the 20th century who recognized the need for a new, modern English translation. It was translated with help from scholars around the world and underwent multiple reviews from an inter-denominational committee. The NIV has become widely respected among Christians as one of the best English translations available.

This document discusses the degradation of plastics over time. It examines research on the breakdown of various plastic materials, such as polyethylene bottles and polystyrene cups, when exposed to different environmental conditions like weather, sediment, and heat over periods of 2 years. The research found that plastic type and environment significantly impact degradation rates, with thermal aging causing faster breakdown than weather or water exposure. Most plastics showed chemical changes within 24 months, with polyurethane breaking down most quickly. Cigarette butts were also examined and found to degrade into paper and acetic acid. Understanding plastic degradation can help address the global pollution problem.
This document discusses sustainable transport and packaging materials for artworks. It summarizes the risks involved in transporting cultural heritage like vibration, climate changes, theft and accidents. It outlines preventative measures like planning, confidentiality, gloves, experienced handlers, adequate packaging, labeling, fastening, couriers, supervision and equipment to control temperature and humidity. It also notes the dilemma between requirements for transporting art versus sustainable solutions. Different transport methods like trucks, planes, ships and trains are discussed in terms of sustainability. Finally, it provides examples of sustainable packaging and transport approaches like reusable crates, flexible packaging systems and virtual couriering.
1. The document provides guidance on practicing integrated pest management (IPM) in a calm and reasonable manner. It advises focusing IPM efforts on key areas like sanitation, exclusion of pests, and monitoring, rather than trying to inspect and treat everything.
2. Effective monitoring of pest populations involves using traps, record keeping, and identifying problem areas. Traps should be placed strategically and checked regularly.
3. Proper inspection is the foundation of any IPM program. Inspections should be routine and involve looking for pests, signs of pests, and conditions that could attract pests. Focus inspection on vulnerable areas and artifacts.
