La deforestación en Colombia ocurre principalmente en las regiones del Pacífico y los Andes, donde se talan alrededor de 336,000 hectáreas de bosque por año. Entre 2000-2007, el Pacífico colombiano perdió un área de 14,322 km2 de bosque tropical, superando el tamaño de Jamaica. Las principales causas de deforestación son la expansión agrícola, la colonización, la construcción de infraestructura y la producción de cultivos ilícitos.

This document contains a series of incomplete questions with blanks for question words or subjects. It can be used as a game to teach students question formation by having them match question beginnings to possible endings to form valid questions. The game is played in small groups where students take turns drawing question beginnings and using ending cards to complete the questions, working together to form as many correct questions as possible.
The document outlines a study on the development of the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) for cards and its role in European integration from 1992 to 2010. It examines how payment cards contributed to making Europe through the lens of hidden integration. Key actors involved included the European Central Bank, national central banks, the European Payments Council and Cards Stakeholder Group. Tensions arose between banks, service providers and regulators during establishment of the European card infrastructure and standards. The influence of the American payment system on Europe is also analyzed.

Vital Trends in Digital Experience and Transformation in 2016 | Dreamforce 20...Dion Hinchcliffe
Here's the deck I presented at the Emerging Tech Trends track at the Hilton Union Square at Dreamforce 2016 last week. Updates on trends from last year and new trends both are included. A thorough list of what your organization should be considering from both a technology standpoint and as a business.
Building an enduring, multi-billion dollar consumer technology company is hard. As an investor, knowing which startups have the potential to be massive and long-lasting is also hard. From both perspectives, identifying companies with this potential is a combination of “art” and “science” — the art is understanding how products work, and the science is knowing how to measure it. At the earliest stages of a company, it comes down to understanding how a product is built to maximize and leverage user engagement.
In this presentation, Sarah Tavel shares her "Hierarchy of Engagement" framework she uses to evaluate non-transactional consumer companies she is looking to invest in.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
The document discusses how personalization and dynamic content are becoming increasingly important on websites. It notes that 52% of marketers see content personalization as critical and 75% of consumers like it when brands personalize their content. However, personalization can create issues for search engine optimization as dynamic URLs and content are more difficult for search engines to index than static pages. The document provides tips for SEOs to help address these personalization and SEO challenges, such as using static URLs when possible and submitting accurate sitemaps.
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.

1. Get Help With Personal Finance Through These Idea
Whether you're struggling with debt or you'd just like to improve an already-decent financial
situation, you could use some help. The more you learn about financial management, the more likely
you are to be able to improve your finances. Read on for some tips about improving your financial
situation.
Listen to logic, not emotion; keep calm and avoid making decisions due to panic or excessive
excitement. Starting with small accounts can make it easier to keep emotions in check. If you keep
your cool when making decisions, you will have an easier time following your initial plan consistently
and meeting the goals you set for yourself.
Pay special attention to the details if you finance your car. Most finance companies require you to
purchase full coverage, or they have the right to repossess your vehicle. Do not fall into a trap by
signing up for liability only if your finance company requires more. You have to submit your
insurance details to them, so they will find out.
Make a plan to pay off any debt that is accruing as quickly as possible. For about half the time that
your student loans or mortgage in is repayment, you are payment only or mostly the interest. The
sooner you pay it off, the less you will pay in the long run, and better your long-term finances will be.
If you must get a credit card to manage your finances, try for a no-fee rewards card. While credit
cards can easily cause more damage than do good, a rewards card will at least give you something
back for the money you spend on it. Don't be tempted to overspend to earn those rewards, though.
When your boiler or furnace breaks, look at the average life expectancy of these items prior deciding
to get it fixed. If it is close to the end of its life, you will save more money just replacing it instead of
repairing it since it more then likely will just break down again sometime soon after. Plus a new one
will work more efficiently.
To improve your personal finance habits, maintain a target amount that you put each week or month
towards your goal. Be sure that your target amount is a quantity you can afford to save on a regular
basis. Disciplined saving is what will allow you to save the money for your dream vacation or
retirement.
Never co-sign a loan for anyone!!! No matter how much you think you can trust them, if the debt is
not something you are willing to pay off, just don't do it. If you do, and they don't pay, the debt will
be your responsibility, and you will have to fork up the money.
Sticking your head in the sand and pretending that your personal finance issues will just go away
serves no one. You will cost yourself more money and more stress in the long run by not dealing with
issues head on. Take a proactive approach and work with your creditors to set up payment plans.
Taking a job at a store that carries many thing that are of interest to you can be a great decision.
Not only will you earn a paycheck for working at that store, but will also receive an employee
2. discount that can be used to save money on things bought there, providing two benefits to your
personal finances.
Rewards credit cards can serve limited company expenses many different benefits. You are a great
candidate for such a card if you fully pay your balance regularly. Just for doing you regular daily
shopping, a credit card with rewards will offer points redeemable for airplane flights, cash or other
premiums. Look for cards that offer appealing rewards and see what works best for your own
financial situation.
This is, perhaps, the simplest personal finance tip of all, but it so often gets overlooked. If you want
to take charge of your finances and your bank account, you must spend less than you earn. Spending
more than you bring in is a recipe for financial disaster.
Keep track of your actions, and of whether they were successful or not. Go back over your notes and
think about how you could have avoided a failure, or realize what you did right. Consider yourself as
a student who constantly has to learn new things in order to improve.
To effectively finance your retirement, you first have to decide when you want to retire and how well
you want to live while retired. Knowing what you will need to live comfortably in retirement and
then calculating that number by how many years you expect to live after retirement, will give you a
clear retirement savings goal.
If you have consistently made your credit card payments on time for at least one whole year, you
may have some leverage to negotiate more favorable terms, like a lowered interest rate or even a
higher credit limit. Of course, only go for the second option if you have a real need to do so and can
responsibly pay the added amount every month.
If you want to have good finances, you need to think differently about how you spend your money.
Many of us see money as a way of enjoying life in the now, without realizing that there is also a value
in enjoying life later. If you do not learn to save your money, you will not have money when you need
it when you are older.
3. Maintaining good credit lets you buy the stuff
that's hard to buy with cash, such as a car or
home. If you find that you can't get a good
interest rate for a big dream item, don't just
https://www.unionfacts.com/article/employee-rig
hts/ wish for a miracle. Fix your credit. Begin by
reviewing your credit report and investigating
any anomalies.
If you are thinking about getting a mortgage,
compare interest rates as well as other
expenses. For instance, you can pay discount
points for your mortgage payments to become
cheaper over time. Take in consideration how
long you will live in your house to find the best
type of mortgage.
With the above tips in mind, you are ready to
embark on the path to better personal finance.
Educating yourself is the best way to achieve
success with anything. This is especially true
with personal finance, so take these tips to heart to improve the way you approach your finances.
