Raising the benefits of meteorological services and satellitesEUMETSAT
In this presentation, given at the WMO side event during the 2014 EUMETSAT Meteorological Satellite Conference in Geneva, Stephan Bojinski (Satellite Utilization and Products Division, Space Programme, WMO) demonstrates how the WMO assists in raising the benefits from meteorological services and satellites and discusses the challenges faced in the future.
This document discusses making data more accessible to society through open data, communication, and technology. It begins by introducing an online discussion on opportunities and challenges of using open data, data visualization, and other technology approaches.
It then discusses three main ways of making data more accessible: open data, which freely shares data for public use; communication, where data is explained through storytelling and visualization to broad audiences; and interactive technology, like apps and crowdsourcing, that enable public participation as data producers. Examples like Mappiness and OpenStreetMap demonstrate how crowdsourced data can benefit society.
The document provides context for an online discussion on these topics from June 11-24, 2014 and invites participation from both experts
Talk given by Professor Brian Schwartz at the Bloomberg School of Public Health about the environmental changes occurring because of oil consumption, pollution and population growth. Worth the gander. The problems presented here can only be solved by collective action of all of us, a different policy direction and by reassessing our fundamental values. Without all of these things happening, life as we know it will likely come to an end in our lifetime!
In this original Digital Art and Philosophy class, we will become familiar with different forms of digital art and related philosophical issues.

Philosophical aspects arise regarding art, identity, performance, interactivity, and the process of creation. Students may respond to the material in essay, performance, or digital art work (optional). Instructor: Melanie Swan. Syllabus: www.MelanieSwan.com/PCA

This document provides a report on the performance of candidates who sat exams for the Caribbean Examinations Council's Advanced Proficiency Examination in Chemistry in May/June 2010. It summarizes the exam structure, number of candidates, and provides analysis of candidate performance on each exam paper and module. Overall, candidate performance was adequate, though some weaknesses were observed, particularly in calculations, writing equations, and practical skills. The report makes recommendations to teachers on strategies to help students improve.

Cambodia has a population of over 13 million people and its economy relies heavily on agriculture, fishing, tourism and garment manufacturing. Theravada Buddhism is practiced by 95% of the population and influences Cambodian culture, which places importance on relationships, hierarchy and avoiding direct confrontation.

The document discusses several key concepts in economic analysis including:
1) Scarcity and opportunity cost, which examines how limited resources are allocated to satisfy unlimited wants, with the opportunity cost being the best alternative forgone.
2) Production possibilities frontier (PPF), which shows the maximum combinations of two goods an economy can produce with limited resources, and how the curve can shift from increases in resources or technology.
3) Different economic systems and how they answer fundamental questions about what/how/for whom goods and services are produced, such as private ownership and markets in capitalism versus central planning in a command system.
