The document discusses various types of extreme weather events including hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, floods, and droughts. It provides details on the formation of hurricanes over warm ocean waters and specifics on major hurricanes like Andrew and Katrina. Tornadoes are described as powerful funnel clouds caused by colliding warm and cool air masses. The document also outlines significant blizzards, floods and droughts that have caused major damage and billions of dollars in losses across the United States.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Extreme weather
1.
2.
3. Form over warm, tropical ocean
waters.
Sometimes called typhoons (Asia)
Formed when air flows over warm
water (over 80 degrees), picking up
large amounts of moisture and
energy.
This flows into a low pressure core &
tightens to form the “eye” or center.
The more heat energy there is, the
stronger the winds become.
4.
5. Forms slowly over
days
10-20 mile wide eye
Can be up to 500
miles wide
Classified by wind
speed in the Saffir-
Simpson scale;
category 1-5
Winds from 75-200
mph
Winds move counter-
clockwise (northern
hemisphere)
Most storms start off
the coast of Africa and
move west (Cape Verde
storms)
Damage includes
flooding, wind
damage, & storm surge.

10. In 1992, Hurricane
Andrew, a
category 5
hurricane made
landfall in Florida.
At the time, it was
the most costliest
hurricane in
history, causing
over $26 billion in
damages.
11.
12.
13. Hurricane Katrina was
one of the most
deadliest and
devastating hurricanes
in recorded history.
It was responsible for
1,800 deaths and over
$81 billion in damages,
making it the costliest
natural disaster in U.S.
history.
14.

17.
18. Powerful funnel-shaped columns of spiraling
air.
Warm air and cool air colliding create them
Winds up to 300 mph.
Measured on the Fujita Scale; 0-6.
Generally they have small diameters (300 ft.)
and travel short distances (1 mile)
3 out of 4 tornadoes in the world occur in the
U.S. (around 700 per year)
23. On May 22, 2011 a
catastrophic, multi-
vortex F5 tornado hit
the town of
Joplin, Missouri.
It killed 158 people and
caused nearly $3 billion
in damages making it the
deadliest and costliest
tornado in American
history.
31. Blizzard - Heavy snowstorm w/
winds of more than 35 mph
creating reduced visibility.
Floods - Water spreads out over
normally dry land
Droughts – A long period of time
w/o rain or minimal rainfall.
- Droughts result in crop
failures, reduced levels of water in
storage.

34. In 1993, a massive storm hit the
United States.
Known as the “White
Hurricane”, this storm not only
caused a blizzard, but heavy
winds, rains and tornadoes.
Many states received several feet
of snow. Tennessee got the worst
with over 5 ft. of snow in some
areas!
In total, more than 300 people
died as a result of this storm.
35.

38. In 1993 a great flood
occurred in the Mississippi
River basin.
The flood was among the
most costly and
devastating to ever occur
in the United States, with
$15 billion in damages and
effecting over 30,000
square miles.
The floods claimed near
50 lives.

Missouri and Illinois Rivers.

40. Drought is an extended
period of time when a region
has a deficiency in its water
supply whether surface or
underground water.
A drought can last for
months or years.
It can cause significant
damage[and harm on
the ecosystem, agriculture o
f the affected region as well
as damage to the economy.
41. The Great Plains
(150,000 square mile
region) was ravaged by
drought.
Thousands of families
were forced to flee and
find work elsewhere.
Major contributor of the
economic disaster known
as the Great Depression
that took over 10 years
to recover from.

44. In 2011, Texas was hit hard by
drought.
The drought dried up areas so much
that in one town, it revealed some
old history.
The city of Bluffton, Texas was
purposefully flooded more 50 years
ago to create Lake Buchanan.
Many parts of town were submerged
under the 20-30 feet under the
lake, that is, until the drought.
Since the drought, receding lakes
have been revealing the foundations
of buildings, streets and eerily, old
gravesites…
