A disaster happening that you’ve never heard of…Or maybe some of you have...
Six months ago, on January 4th, 2010 in the remote Hunza River Valley of northern Pakistan, a massive landslide buried the village of Attabad, destroying 26 homes, killing 20 people, and damming up the Hunza River.
As the newly-formed lake grew, authorities rushed to evacuate and supply those affected in the landslide area and
upstream. The lake is now over 300 feet deep and 16km (10 mi) long, submerging miles of highway, farms and
homes.
Earlier this week, the lake reached the top of the natural dam, and began to spill out - rapid erosion of the landslide debris has authorities worried about a potential breach, and locals have been evacuated as officials monitor the developing situation.
1. The document discusses moments, which describe the turning effect of forces. A moment is calculated by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance from the pivot.
2. It provides examples of calculating moments and using the principle of moments, which states that for an object in equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments equals the sum of anticlockwise moments.
3. Determining the center of mass of an object allows it to be balanced on a pivot. The center of mass can be found experimentally by balancing irregular objects on different points and identifying where the lines intersect.
Pakistan has a complex taxation system with over 70 different taxes administered by 37 government agencies. The major taxes include income tax, sales tax, customs duties, and excise duties. Income tax is levied on individual and corporate income under the Income Tax Ordinance of 2001. Sales tax of 17% is imposed on goods under the Sales Tax Act of 1990. Customs duties are applied on imports according to a cascaded tariff structure. Excise duties are levied on specific industries and services. The taxation system has a heavy reliance on withholding taxes and exemptions.
Pascal's Law states that pressure in a fluid is transmitted equally in all directions and that pressure increases with depth. It describes how hydraulic systems use small inputs to generate large outputs through the transmission of force via an incompressible fluid. Some applications that use Pascal's Law include hydraulic lifts, which can lift heavy loads using small forces; hydraulic brakes, which stop wheels simultaneously using brake fluid; and hydraulic jacks and pumps.
Density is a measurement of how tightly matter is packed together in an object. It is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Ice floats in water because it has a lower density than water - ice has a density of about 0.9 g/cm3 while water has a density of 1 g/cm3. Hot air balloons and magma rise because they have lower densities than the surrounding air and rock, respectively. A ship will float if its overall density is less than that of water, which is 1 g/cm3.
The document discusses various methods for calculating depreciation of assets. It defines depreciation as the reduction in value of an asset over time due to wear and tear, effluxion of time, and obsolescence. It describes three common depreciation methods: straight-line, declining balance, and MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System). For each method, it provides the calculation formula and an example showing the annual depreciation expense and book value over the asset's useful life.
- Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted to recognize the investor's share of the associate's profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
- The carrying amount is reduced by any dividends received from the associate. Gains or losses on revaluation of property, plant and equipment and foreign exchange differences are also passed through to other comprehensive income.
- When an investor loses control of a subsidiary it reclassifies amounts in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings on the same basis as if it directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
1. The document discusses several fundamental equations in fluid mechanics, including conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and angular momentum for control volumes.
2. Key equations presented include the Reynolds transport theorem, Bernoulli equation, and equations for conservation of mass, momentum, energy, and angular momentum derived using the transport theorem.
3. Examples are provided to demonstrate applying the conservation equations to problems involving steady and unsteady, compressible and incompressible flow.
This document contains a student's homework assignment on chapter 1 of an advanced financial accounting textbook.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that retain their individual chemical and physical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous mixtures, where the substances are evenly mixed on a small scale and cannot be seen, and heterogeneous mixtures, where the individual substances can be visually identified. A solution is a type of homogeneous mixture where one substance dissolves evenly into another, such as sugar dissolving in water, forming a mixture on a molecular scale. Not all mixtures are solutions, as solubility determines whether a substance will dissolve in another.
The document presents the derivation of the continuity equation in Cartesian coordinates for a fluid flowing through a rectangular prism. [1] It considers the mass flow rates entering and leaving the prism in the x, y, and z directions. [2] By equating the net mass storage rate within the prism to the rate of change of mass, the general continuity equation is obtained. [3] The equation is applicable to both steady and unsteady, compressible and incompressible flows.
Topic 5 slides accounting for income taxSujan Neupane
The document outlines the learning objectives for a topic on accounting for income tax. The five learning objectives are: 1) Explain differences between accounting and tax treatments, 2) Calculate taxable profit and account for current tax expense, 3) Explain transactions with current and future tax consequences, 4) Account for movements in deferred tax accounts and tax rate changes, and 5) Specify disclosures required by an accounting standard on income taxes. The document repeats these learning objectives over multiple slides.
Archimedes' Principle states that the buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle explains why objects float or sink based on an object's density compared to the fluid. It also explains why objects seem lighter when submerged. Applications of Archimedes' Principle include determining the depth ships sit in water based on water temperature and density, how hot air balloons rise and fall, and how submarines control their buoyancy using ballast tanks.
This document discusses equilibrium and centre of mass. It defines moment or torque as the turning effect of a force. The moment of a force depends on both the size of the force and the distance from the pivot. An object is in equilibrium when the sum of clockwise moments equals the sum of anticlockwise moments. For an object to be in equilibrium, the forces must balance and the principle of moments must apply. The centre of mass is the point where the entire weight of an object can be considered to act. Several diagrams show how to determine the centre of mass for different objects.
Friction opposes the motion of objects and is caused by bumps on surfaces sticking together when they touch. There are three main types of friction: static friction between non-moving surfaces, sliding friction between surfaces moving past each other, and rolling friction between rolling objects and surfaces. Adding sand to tires increases rolling friction and helps cars move on slippery surfaces by providing more traction between the tires and the ground. This relates to Newton's Second Law, as increasing friction generates a greater net force to overcome inertia according to the formula F=ma.
This document defines pressure as force per unit area, with pressure measured in pascals (Pa) and force in newtons (N). It provides the formula for calculating pressure as pressure = force/area. It explains that cutting tools increase pressure by reducing the contact area, while caterpillar tracks reduce pressure from heavy vehicles by increasing their surface area and distributing the force over a larger area.
The document discusses various ways that water is essential for life around the world. It provides examples of religious and cultural traditions surrounding bodies of water, as well as challenges to water access faced by communities in places experiencing drought, pollution, or other water issues. The photos depict people and landscapes impacted by issues with water scarcity, flooding, pollution, and climate change in locations across the globe.
The document summarizes the Attabad landslide disaster that occurred in Pakistan in 2010. A massive landslide buried the village of Attabad, killing 20 people. It dammed the Hunza River, forming a 100m deep lake and submerging 381 additional houses. The landslide was likely triggered by earthquakes in the region over previous years that weakened the slope's shear strength through fracturing and weathering of glacial deposits. The complex geology and tectonics of the area, including major thrust faults, contributed to the landslide risk.

The Jiangxi Lushan World Geopark is located in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China. It covers an area of 500 square kilometers and contains important geological relics from the Quaternary period, including evidence of ancient glaciers. Some of the major scenic attractions within the geopark include the Guanyinqiao Scenic Area, known for the Guanyin Bridge built in 1014, and the Iron Boat Peak, where a stone carving depicts a legendary story. The geopark was selected as one of China's first national geological parks in 2004 and as a UNESCO Global Geopark for its significant geological features and value in studying paleoclimatic change
The Huizhou West Lake Scenic Area is located in Huicheng District, Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. It features five lakes (Pinghu, Linghu, Nanhu, Fenghu, and Crocodile Lake), six bridges, and eight scenic spots. The scenic area covers 20.91 square kilometers, including 3.13 square kilometers of water. It has undergone development and changes to its management over time, being designated a national scenic area in 2002 and achieving 5A status in 2018.
Severe flooding in PAKISTAN -August 2010vinhbinh2010
Severe flooding in Pakistan has caused widespread damage and over 1,600 deaths so far in August 2010. Entire villages have been washed away and 2 million people have been displaced or otherwise affected. The floods have inundated crop areas, damaging the agricultural economy and threatening a food crisis. The government struggles to rescue and aid the millions impacted, compounded by ongoing conflicts with militant groups in hard-hit regions. Heavy rains are predicted to continue exacerbating the crisis.
A massive landslide in the Kedar valley of Uttarakhand, combined with heavy rainfall, caused devastating floods and landslides in June 2013. Satellite images show the landslide eroded large amounts of material as it travelled downslope, accumulating debris and combining with flood waters to destroy towns like Kedarnath. The disaster was exacerbated by over 745 landslides occurring in the region's river valleys from June 16-17. Unplanned construction projects, increasing vehicle traffic, lack of resources for disaster management, and reduced forest cover all contributed to the severe destruction caused by the extreme rainfall event.
All these photographs were taken by professionals and I have downloaded them from the website address mentioned on first slide. All snaps were taken in the northern part of Pakistan during profound flood in 2010 which causes much devastations.
The document is a collection of photos documenting widespread flooding in Pakistan in 2010. The photos show people evacuating flooded villages by boat, truck, and helicopter. They also depict flooded homes, roads, and farmland, as well as people lining up to receive food and other relief supplies. The flooding affected many areas of Pakistan and displaced millions of residents.
The UN has described the humanitarian situation in Pakistan caused by the severe floods as critical. Over 20 million people have been affected by the worst flooding Pakistan has seen in 80 years, which has killed over 1,600 people and displaced millions. A third of the country is under water due to the unprecedented scale of the disaster, overwhelming the ability of the army and aid groups to respond effectively. Donations are urgently needed to help those affected.
The document summarizes the 2013 Himalayan tsunami that caused devastating floods and landslides in the Indian state of Uttarakhand from June 14-17. It describes how unusually heavy rainfall of over 375% of the normal amount, combined with other factors like construction, tourism development, and climate change, led to flash floods and landslides that caused widespread destruction and over 10,000 deaths. It discusses the emergency response and relief efforts by government agencies and militaries to conduct search, rescue and evacuation operations in the difficult terrain. It concludes that while heavy rainfall triggered the natural disaster, human activities like infrastructure development contributed greatly to its large scale impacts.
1) Boyang Lake is connected to the Yangtze River near the city of Hukou, where the waters mix. Today, the lake water is darker than the Yangtze due to dredging near Nanchang.
2) Little Shoe Hill (Big Orphan) is a small island in Boyang Lake with a Buddhist temple. According to local legend, the island and a nearby rock formation were formed from spirits turning two daughters of an official into the islands after they fell from a turtle's back while crossing the lake.
3) The lake is very shallow, occasionally drying up completely. Vast white sand dunes on the south side have been used for millennia to make porcelain
The document summarizes the Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area in 3 sentences:
The Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area is located in Hangzhou, China and covers 49 square kilometers including 6.5 square kilometers of lake surface. It features beautiful scenery such as mountains, lakes, and historical sites. The West Lake area has a subtropical climate and receives over 1500mm of rainfall annually, making it a popular tourist destination.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Hunza River Disaster
1. A disaster happening that
you’ve never heard of….
• Six months ago, on January 4th, 2010 in the remote Hunza
River Valley of northern Pakistan, a massive landslide buried
the village of Attabad, destroying 26 homes, killing 20 people,
and damming up the Hunza River.
• As the newly-formed lake grew, authorities rushed to evacuate
and supply those affected in the landslide area and upstream.
The lake is now over 300 feet deep and 16km (10 mi) long,
submerging miles of highway, farms and homes.
• Earlier this week, the lake reached the top of the natural dam,
and began to spill out - rapid erosion of the landslide debris has
authorities worried about a potential breach, and locals have
been evacuated as officials monitor the developing situation.

goods imported from neighboring China which are ferried through a lake due
to blockade of the Karakoram Highway, in Attabad, northern Pakistan. A
massive landslide early this year formed a natural dam in the Hunza River
created a lake that is consuming upstream as it expands. If dam breaks, a
flash flood could threaten downstream villages.
14. As water rises, locals use a makeshift pedestrian bridge to help them supply
and evacuate in the Hunza River Valley in northern Pakistan. The pillars are
from an under-construction "friendship bridge" for the now-partly-submerged
Karakoram Highway.

Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite on March 16th, 2010 shows the blocked
Hunza River and the growing lake, then 11 km (7 mi) long, inundating several
villages and 5 km (3 mi) of the Karakoram Highway. Landslide blockage is at

29. •After the lake began to flow through the spillway that was cut into the landslide debris
on May 29th, the flow of the water has increased, but still does not match the inflow
upstream from the Hunza River.
•And - as is evidenced by these two images (May 30th on the left, June 4th on the right),
the outflow is eroding the debris, working back toward the lake - potentially signaling an
upcoming breach where nearly five months worth of river flow might wash away the dam
and cause serious flooding downstream.
•Scientists and authorities are monitoring the situation and evacuations have been
30. What will happen next?
• How would you deal with this disaster?
• There is no bridge left…
• There is enormous pressure on the ‘natural’
dam caused by the landslide and water is
beginning to wash over the top.
• In your group, discuss what you think should
be done and write on the sugar paper and
select someone to report back
• Plenary - Watch this video…

31. What will happen next?
• Did they have any better ideas?
• What do you think will happen to the
displaced people of the valley?
• What would you do with these people to
ensure their safety in the short-term and their
livelihood in the long term?
QUESTION TO TAKE AWAY:
Why have you not heard of this before now?

33. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on
the Terra satellite acquired this false-color image of the landslide lake on June 1, 2010 -
now 16km (10 mi) long. Compare to satellite image earlier in slideshow, taken 10 weeks
earlier, and see that the lake has grown by 5km in length. Water appears in varying
shades of blue. Vegetation is red. Bare rock appears in shades of brown and gray.
