The document discusses why water conservation is important even though the total amount of water on Earth remains constant. It notes that only 1% of Earth's water is freshwater for human use, with most water being saltwater in the oceans or locked up as ice. The water cycle continuously circulates and redistributes water between oceans, atmosphere, and land. However, human activities like leaving taps running can waste freshwater, and the ground absorbs less water when saturated. Therefore, conservation efforts are needed to ensure a sustainable water supply for life despite the water cycle and finite freshwater resources available.

If the earth has always the same quantity
The document discusses the water cycle and distribution of water on Earth. It notes that while the total amount of water is constant, the distribution changes as water evaporates from oceans and lakes, forms clouds, and precipitates back as rain or snow. Only a small percentage of water is available as freshwater for human use. The document then describes two investigations - one found that leaving a tap running for 5 minutes wastes a significant amount of water, and another showed soil absorbs and retains less water over time. It concludes that water is important for life and we must conserve it since we waste a lot.

The document discusses water quality issues affecting Tallahassee's watersheds and lakes, particularly Lake Munson. Excess nutrients from fertilizers and other sources can cause algae blooms and decrease oxygen in the lakes. Simple actions like properly disposing of pet waste, limiting fertilizer and pesticide use, and installing features to slow stormwater runoff can help protect water quality. The document encourages residents to "capture the water" and "slow the flow" leaving their property to prevent pollution from reaching lakes and sinkholes.
The Water Cycle
The water cycle involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation occurring continuously. These processes result in the accumulation of water in lakes, rivers, streams, and seas, which completes the water cycle.
Market Development Models
The document discusses different market development models for companies to use to capture market share through innovative solutions. It outlines three models - the Toe In model, which involves minimal resources and provides only a high-level understanding; the Jump In model, which utilizes more resources for some actionable customer insights; and the All In model, which commits the most resources to influence markets through passionate customer collaborations driving market growth.

Australia
Australia celebrates Boxing Day on December 26 instead of Proclamation Day like South Australia. Boxing Day originated as a day when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts from their employers. It is now a public holiday observed in several countries including the UK, Hong Kong, and Australia. One tradition in Sydney is crab racing, where crabs are placed in the center of a table and the first to reach the edge wins for its better. While English is the most common language, over 100 languages are spoken in Australia due to its diverse immigrant population. Most Australians live in the southeastern areas that were first settled over 40,000 years ago by arrivals from Southeast Asia and later colonized by Britain starting in 1770.

People use water resources in several key ways:
- Agriculture accounts for 69% of worldwide water usage, mostly for irrigation.
- Industry accounts for around 22% of usage, including for power generation.
- Households use around 8% of water, for purposes like cooking, washing, bathing, and sanitation.
- Recreational water use, such as for boating and swimming, is a small but growing percentage.
- People need to be mindful of conserving water resources through practices like turning off taps while brushing teeth, taking shorter showers, and fixing leaks.
Water distribution
- 74% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, with 97% of that being salt water which is undrinkable by humans.
- Fresh water makes up the remaining 3% of water on Earth, but 77% of fresh water is locked in glaciers, leaving only 22% as groundwater and 1% in lakes, rivers, and wetlands.
- A mere 0.003% of total water on Earth is readily accessible for human consumption.
Water conservation – water, a precious resource
There are three main states of water: gas, liquid, and solid. Water cycles through the atmosphere, oceans, and land in continuous cycles driven by heat from the sun. The water table, which supplies groundwater, is being depleted by factors like deforestation, population growth, and excessive agricultural and industrial use. Various conservation methods can help reduce water waste and depletion, including drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, planting vegetation, and using drought-resistant landscaping like xeriscaping. Proper water management is needed to ensure future generations have access to this precious resource.
Planet earth or planet water
Without water, life on Earth would not exist as water is essential for all living things. While it seems like there is plenty of water in oceans, lakes and rivers, most water on Earth is saltwater in oceans and only 3% is freshwater, with most locked in ice caps and glaciers. The limited freshwater resources are critical for human and agricultural uses but the total amount of water on Earth is fixed, being recycled over time rather than a replenishing resource.
Water Cycle Investigation 5-1
The document discusses the water cycle and distribution of water on Earth. It notes that 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water, with 97% being saltwater in oceans and 3% being freshwater. Most freshwater is frozen in ice caps and glaciers, with only 0.5% available for use by humans and other land organisms. The water cycle replenishes freshwater supplies through precipitation and evaporation. Conservation efforts can help ensure adequate water resources for all living things.

Unit 2 the importanceofwaterandriverspp(revised2006)
This document discusses water and rivers, including key concepts like the water cycle, characteristics of rivers, and how humans interact with and impact rivers. It explains that water cycles through evaporation, transpiration, precipitation, and either infiltration into the ground or runoff into rivers. Rivers erode, transport, and deposit sediment over time. Humans can help rivers through conservation but also harm them with pollution and activities like channelization that disrupt natural processes.
Science primary 4 states of water
The Egyptians were the earliest recorded people to treat water over 1,500 years ago by boiling, heating in the sun, or using heated iron to clean water. They also filtered boiling water through sand and gravel.
Water exists on Earth in solid, liquid, and gas forms and is essential for all living things. It moves continuously through the water cycle by evaporating from bodies of water and the ground, condensing in the sky as clouds, and falling back to the ground as precipitation.
Today, cities treat drinking water through processes like chlorination to kill germs and make water safe for human consumption.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

AI & Electronic WarfareMutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

If the earth has always the same quantity
- 1. IF THE EARTH HAS ALWAYS THE SAME AMOUNT OF WATER, AND IT FOLLOWS THE SAME WAY, WHY MUST WE SAVE THE WATER? JÚLIA LINARES, ALBA SÁNCHEZ, CARME GRÀCIA I MIREIA LLACH
- 2. THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE WATER A 97% of the water in the Earth is saltwater. And the other 3% is freshwater. We use the 1% of this water. And in this 1% , the 87% is ice, the 1% are lakes and the 12% are underground flows.
- 3. THE CYCLE OF THE WATER Water: it comes from oceans, lakes, rivers … Water vapor: it condenses and form clouds. Clouds: they lose their water when it rains or snows, which is called precipitation. Precipitation: the water is absorbed into the ground or runs into rivers. Water: it runs into rivers flows, lakes, or oceans.
- 4. INVESTIGATION 1 For the first investigation, we go to “Aula de Tecnologia”.And we answer this question: What amount of water do we waste with a water tap bad closed for five minuts ? In Catalonia, there are 1,892,727 homes for a year using 31’81 litres of water.
- 5. INVESTIGATION 2 With the second investigation, we know that the amount of water is always the same but depending on the type of the ground, it can be more or less retained. We see that if we put some water in the ground, when we weigh the water, it weighs less. The difference is 32’35.
- 6. CONCLUSION The water is very important for the life in the Earth. We waste a lot of water, so we must take care ot it. How do we waste the water? When it rains, a lot of water go to rivers, oceans... But a little part goes underground flow. A lot of this water also turns to ice and forms glaciers...
