The document discusses the issue of landmines in Cambodia. It notes that nearly 40,000 Cambodians have been injured by landmines since 1979, with an estimated 4-6 million unexplored landmines still remaining in the country that could take 100 years to clear. There are tens of millions of additional landmines across 78 countries that could take over 1,100 years to remove. Efforts to clear the landmines involve deminers carefully probing the ground, as well as using metal detectors and trained dogs. Organizations like the Cambodian Mine Action Centre and Halo Trust are working to clear the landmines and provide relief for victims, but landmine removal is a dangerous and lengthy process.
The document discusses issues related to dams being constructed along the Mekong River in Southeast Asia. Specifically, it mentions the Don Sahong Dam and the Siphandone area. There is discussion of transnational cooperation regarding the Mekong River Commission and threats facing the Mekong River from mainstream dam plans. The document appears to be presenting information about these topics to students at Lodi High School from the Sa-nguan Ying School in Southeast Asian Studies.
This document discusses aggregate planning and forecasting. It defines aggregate planning as determining total demand and labor requirements at a general level. Forecasting predicts future demand based on past trends and relevant factors. Qualitative forecasting uses opinion and intuition while quantitative forecasting uses mathematical models and historical data. The document outlines various qualitative and quantitative forecasting techniques including time series and causal methods. It also discusses analyzing forecast errors.

Beowulf review (work in progress) kyle loescherKyle64
Beowulf arrives at Herot to help King Hrothgar and his people, who have been terrorized by the monster Grendel for 12 years. Beowulf vows to kill Grendel with his bare hands. That night, Grendel attacks the meadhall but Beowulf engages him in an intense battle and tears off his arm, causing Grendel to flee and die. However, Grendel's mother is still a threat, so Beowulf agrees to slay her in her lair beneath a nearby lake.

Capa quality system – more than just corrective actionQuality Management
http://qualitymanagementsystem.com/what-is-iso/capa-quality-system-more-than-just-corrective-action/
A CAPA Quality System (CAPA is an acronym for ‘Corrective and Preventive Action’, or ‘Corrective Action, Preventive Action’) is absolutely essential in some format for a complete quality management program. In fact, in at least one quality management system, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), it is a requirement and a fundamental tenet of the program. GMP is the quality management system that must be used by pharmaceutical and medical equipment manufacturers to comply with FDA guidelines.
Nearly 40,000 people in Cambodia have been injured by landmines since 1979, when an estimated 4-6 million unexplored landmines were planted during conflicts. Landmines maim or kill over 10,000 civilians each year, inflicting physical, psychological and economic hardship. In Cambodia, areas remain mined for years after conflicts, threatening lives and preventing economic development. Several organizations like the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, Mines Advisory Group, and The Halo Trust have worked to clear mines from over 66 square kilometers between 1993 and 1999, clearing faster each year. Aki Ra, a former child soldier, began clearing mines in 1995 and has removed over 50,000 mines to help his community.
Nearly 40,000 people in Cambodia have been injured by landmines since 1979 when an estimated 4-6 million unexplored landmines were planted during conflicts. Landmines cost only $3 to produce but $1,000 to clear. In Cambodia, they threaten lives and development by making land unusable for farming, schools, and housing. Several organizations like the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, Mines Advisory Group, and Halo Trust have worked to clear mines, removing over 66 square kilometers between 1993 and 1999. Individuals like Aki Ra, a former child soldier, have also worked to clear mines and help victims.
PLAN B NO BS - A. Deathbed - Earth, ALL Creation but A final Chance Remains -...Start Loving
The document warns that humanity's extinction is imminent due to accelerating environmental collapse caused by climate change, resource depletion, and pollution. Key points include glacial and ice sheet melting raising sea levels by over 6 feet this century and displacing 600 million people, as well as collapsing ecosystems, forests, fisheries, and water supplies due to market failures to incorporate environmental costs. The author argues that urgent action is needed to transition off fossil fuels and stabilize population to avoid an irreversible extermination of humanity.
This document discusses natural trends including earthquakes, volcanoes, famines, diseases, and weather. It provides statistics showing increasing numbers of major earthquakes over the 20th century with more severe earthquakes occurring each decade since the 1980s. Famines and diseases are also on the rise with world population growth straining food production and diseases like tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS infecting hundreds of millions. The document notes increasing weather extremes including hurricanes, floods, and unusual winter weather occurring more frequently. Costs of emergency response to weather events in the US total tens of billions of dollars.
The document discusses vertical farming and its benefits of reducing environmental damage, transportation costs and emissions while ensuring a constant food supply. It questions if we are facing a food shortage and need to change our living habits and connections at global, national, urban and landscape scales from social, economic, political and environmental contexts. It also discusses indeterminacy in architecture, changes in communication, climate change impacts, population growth, deforestation and urban agriculture as ways to minimize land and resource use and teach self-sufficiency.
The document discusses how illegal arms dealers and war companies benefit from conflict by selling weapons to armies. It notes that strategic placement of landmines near water sources by armies prevents enemies from accessing resources and endangers civilians. While these groups profit, ordinary citizens suffering from low incomes are most harmed as they become targets when accessing necessary water. Three potential solutions proposed are stopping wars to increase peace and happiness, avoiding population decline and tax loss for countries, and recognizing that violence does not resolve issues.

The document provides discussion questions about a slide show and article on Buddhism and Buddhist monks in Myanmar. It asks students to analyze photographs depicting the role of monks in daily life and compare Myanmar's devotion to Buddhism to another country. Students are asked to read an article about Buddhist monks protesting in Myanmar by turning their begging bowls upside down. They are prompted to discuss the relationship between monks and soldiers, examples of past protest, and the source of monks' power in legitimizing rulers.
The document discusses Aung San Suu Kyi, the Lady of Burma and national icon for democracy in Burma. It covers her history and role in the 8888 Uprising for democracy, the causes of political unrest, her time under house arrest, involvement in the 2007 Saffron Revolution, and her future political role and international relations. The document appears to provide an overview of Aung San Suu Kyi and key political events in Burma related to her leadership of the pro-democracy movement.
Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese pro-democracy leader who fought against the former socialist leader General Ne-Win. She spent more than 15 years under house arrest, most of it confined to her home. She helped found the National League for Democracy after massive protests in 1988 and won a majority in 1990 elections, though the military junta ignored the results. She remains a prominent advocate for democracy in Myanmar.
This document provides information about Myanmar (also known as Burma) through short bullet points and images. It notes that Myanmar has the Irrawady River and abundant teak wood, and that Buddhism is the dominant religion practiced by 95% of people. The capital is Naypyidaw but the largest city is Yangon. Myanmar gained independence from Britain in 1948 but was then ruled by a military dictatorship until 2011. The document also contains photographs showing Buddhism's integration into daily life, such as monks reading on computers and people lighting candles at pagodas.

Cambodia has a long history, including the powerful Angkor Kingdom between 802-1431 AD, French colonial rule from 1863-1954, the Khmer Rouge genocide in 1975-1979 that killed 1.7 million people, and transition to democracy in the 1990s. Today, Cambodia continues to recover from the genocide and deals with challenges of poverty, lack of education, and government corruption despite economic development.
The Loi Krathong festival is one of Thailand's most popular festivals celebrated nationwide. It falls on the full moon of the 12th lunar month, usually in November. During the festival, people float krathong, small rafts made of banana leaves and flowers, on rivers, canals, and ponds to honor the river goddess and float away bad luck. The festival originated from a legend about the king's consort who floated a krathong to confess her love for the king. Today, the festival involves floating krathong, lighting lanterns, beauty pageants, performances, and fireworks displays.
This document discusses Thai etiquette, customs, and societal values. It covers topics such as the hierarchical and polite nature of Thai society, common greetings, sacred body parts, traditional clothing, and the importance of practicing Thai manners, especially regarding shoes in the presence of elders or religious settings.

A landmine is an explosive that is buried just below the surface of the ground to keep enemy soldiers from crossing into your territory. The landmine explodes when someone steps the ground above it. It usually destroys the person’s leg and sometimes it destroys both legs. If the victim is a child, they usually die. If they are an adult, but can’t get to a hospital soon enough, which is often the case in Cambodia, then they die. Over half of the victims survive and become amputees. Cambodia has over 35,000 amputees. One out of every 340 people is an amputee.\n\n

Anti-Personnel Mines (APL): Anti-personnel mines are designed to kill or injure an individual as opposed to destroying vehicles. Anti-personnel mines explode from the contact or presence of a person. They are often designed to injure rather than kill, causing injuries like blindness, burns, destroyed limbs and shrapnel wounds. Some types of anti-personnel mines can also damage the tracks or wheels of armored vehicles.\n

Anti-Tank Mines: Anti-tank mines were created not long after the invention of the tank in the First World War. They set off when a tank passes over and are developed to prevent enemy armies from moving anti-tank mines as they immobilized or destroyed vehicles and their occupants. Anti-tank mines are typically larger than anti-personnel mines and require more pressure to detonate.\n\n

Mines are planted in war zones. They may be laid by hand or “seeded” from an aircraft or by artillery. Mines may be laid around a village, along a road, on bridges, along river banks, in fields or in forests. Many mines float so that after heavy rains they are found in unexpected locations. Mines continue to be dangerous even if they have been in the ground a long time. When the military conflict ceases, mines remain hidden in the ground, a threat to the people who work the fields and walk the roads.\n\n
Because clearing mines is very expensive. So, in many places, fields and sometimes entire villages remain mined for years after conflicts. The presence of landmines severely threatens people’s life and also prevents the country’s economic growth and development. Long after wars are over, landmines make land unusable for farming, schools or living. Landmine & Cluster Munition Monitor reported In the year 2001, there were 813 landmine casualties and 232 were children. Each day 2-3 people step on a landmine in Cambodia while water carrying, going to school, or trying to earn a living, 95% are civilians. However, the number of casualties has been decreasing over the past years. In 2009, there were 244 casualties. Of this number 47 were killed, and 197 injured. Local people now know the heavily mined area so they stop going there. Some areas are now cleared and no new landmines are laid. There has been no fighting in Cambodia since 1999 when the last Khmer Rouge units defected to the government. In that same year, Cambodia ratified the Mine Ban Treaty and since then no new mines are being laid. \n
The person who removes landmines is called a deminer. She lies on her stomach and probes the ground inch by inch with a knife, hoping to touch the side of the landmine. When she discovers one, she carefully uncovers it and removes it for destruction. Most landmines are made of plastic so they cannot be found with a metal detector. Driving a big demining machine over the land only works on open sandy soil, like deserts, and it doesn’t find all the mines. Trained dogs are very good at finding landmines with their keen sense of smell.\n\n
Orphaned as a youngster by the Khmer Rouge, he was a child soldier first for the Khmer Rouge in the early 1980s, then with the Vietnamese Army in the second half of that decade, and then with the Cambodian army beginning in 1989. He began clearing and collecting mines in 1995. He works in Siem Reap and other provinces nearby. Much of his present work is in the Poipet area near the Thai border.\n\nThe land mine museum used to see fifty to one hundred visitors a day, but in mid-2000 the local government began efforts to shut his museum down. Citing concerns that tourists will be made afraid and therefore not come to Cambodia, they continue to pull down his signs along the road to Angkor Wat, and have harassed him with demands for money and threats of closure. \n\n

The Landmine Museum was founded by ex-child soldier Aki Ra as a way to tell the world about the horrors landmines had affected on his Cambodia. He used the proceed to clear landmines wherever he could find them.\n\n\n\nIn the process of clearing small, remote villages, he bagan brining home wounded and orphaned children that he and his wife raised as their own, along side their own children.\n\nToday the Museum not only tells Aki Ra's unique history and the history of landmines in Cambodia, it is the home to nearly 3 dozen wounded, handicapped, poor and orphaned chidren. All are hosed, fed, schooled and given a future they would otherwise never have had.\n

Our activities include providing education and training to rural people about landmine safety, clearing mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) from various provinces in Cambodia, and training soldiers to deactivate and clear landmines and UXO from the countryside. We also provide livelihood support for soldiers working in de-mining and their families, and a home and school at the Museum for child survivors of landmines. Through all our activities, we work to ensure that Cambodia will one day become free of landmines and UXO.\n
Let’s have a look at how Aki Ra work on mine clearing\n
Apart from Akira himself, there are three main organizations working to clear landmines in Cambodia: the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA), the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) http://www.maginternational.org/ and the Halo Trust. Between 1993 and 1999 the three groups cleared 66,027,761 square meters, or 66 square kilometers. Each year they have been clearing faster than the year before. In 1999, the three groups combined cleared 11,857,920 square meters, with CMAC, the government body that also coordinates all demining, clearing 9,573,821 square meters (NGO forum website).\n

Those in favor of landmines are the businesses that profit from selling them and the military. Landmines maim or kill 10,000 civilians every year. Victims have a lifetime of physical, psychological, and economic hardship. \n
An organization called the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (www.icbl.org) encourages countries to support a treaty banning the use, production, stockpiling, and transfer of antipersonnel landmines. In 1997 the treaty was signed by 147 countries and became law. Countries may no longer sign it, but they can choose to support it. The United States does not support the ban on landmines.\n\n
