This document discusses the potential impacts of Brexit on India and the global economy. It notes that if the UK exits the EU, Indian stocks would decline initially. India exports many goods to the UK, and UK-based companies invest heavily in India. So a Brexit could reduce UK-India trade and investment. Several large Indian companies like Tata Steel and Tata Motors that generate significant revenue from UK/Europe operations would likely be negatively affected. The document also suggests Brexit could increase global financial market volatility and reduce global economic growth by up to 5.6% over three years. However, if the UK remains in the EU, its economy is projected to grow faster.
The document discusses the impacts of the UK leaving the European Union (EU). It begins by providing background on the EU, including its origins after WWII and current makeup. Brexit is then defined as Britain's potential withdrawal from the EU. Reasons for Brexit include interference from the EU and UK tax payments to the EU. Potential economic impacts identified include effects on UK jobs, small businesses, GDP, foreign investment, and economic regulation. The currency could also be affected with the pound falling versus other currencies. Trade may be impacted by reducing free access to EU markets and exclusion from EU trade deals. Society may also feel costs if import prices rise and average households lose estimated annual benefits of £3,000 from EU membership.
Waste Water Treatment Process PresentationAshish Kakadia
Ozone is a powerful disinfectant that is more effective than chlorine and can be used for waste water treatment. It is generated on-site and is highly reactive, able to oxidize organic compounds and precipitate heavy metals. Ozone can be used to treat a variety of waste streams, including municipal, industrial, and mining waste water. It is effective at removing color, cyanide, pathogens, BOD, and emerging contaminants like pharmaceuticals.

The document discusses the negative impacts of using DDT to control Dutch elm disease at Michigan State University in the 1950s. It led to the indirect poisoning of robins and other bird species through earthworms that had consumed leaves coated with the pesticide. DDT killed many robins directly and reduced their ability to reproduce, potentially driving them to extinction. Though DDT helped control the insect pest, it had unintended consequences of destroying populations of birds and other animals by traveling up the food chain. The use of DDT highlights how pesticides can harm non-target species and disrupt ecosystems.

Reference
This movie is based on the
novel by Diana Young. The
book features the same name,
“FernGully: The Last Rainforest.”
4. Introduction
FernGully is about the destruction of the Australian rain forest. This really hits home, because
deforestation is causing the destruction of the world, as we now know it. The animated film
FernGully has brought this topic out into the public eye. FernGully is a story of a huge greedy
logging company clear-cutting, or removing all the trees and burning the land. This is an
example of polluting the land and of an environmental disaster. The rain forest makes up a
big part of supplying the world with water, not just its own environment. The industrialized
world is taking advantage of poor nations, with deforestation. This hazard of polluting the
earth with oil from machinery to releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, is raising the
temperature of the earth several degrees, and may be causing a total collapse of our
ecosystem. With 60% of the rain forest gone and all of it will be destroyed by 2020 the world
will see an environmental change like never before. Is this a doomsday religious idea or are
there things happening on the earth that raises concerns about our environment? FernGully
with its magical fairies and trees that say "ouch," seems to allow for some religious ideas. Is
our environment talking to us with its moans and groans over the devastation of the
ecosystem? How about the melting of the Polar Regions? Why aren’t governments taking
action about the nearly total depletion of ice and snow on Greenland? In 2010 nearly 40%
was gone and 2011 nearly 90% was gone as last viewed on satellite imagining. The North
Pole melting is causing the extinction of the polar bear and the South Poles heat is causing
blindness in fish and mammals alike. Is this a warning to stop the depletion of our natural
resources, especially rain forests? The worlds watering holes are being devastated by
deforestation, is the melting of the Polar Regions an attempt by our environment to correct
itself? Other areas of the globe are being destroyed for the greed of the nations, large
business and the rich. Areas like Indonesia, Africa, and Canada are clear-cutting the forests
and ignoring the environmental strain that is putting on our ecosystem. Government and
science can already see the effects that man has put on the environment. Former Vice
President Al Gore, for example, has shown concern about our environment with the movie
”An Inconvenient Truth,’’ How can we help stop the depletion of our rain forests
worldwide? Can we as individuals call attention to the rain forest depletion? We should try
to solve this problem before it is too late. An animated movie like FernGully has helped show
the desperate need to keep the rain forest around. If an animated movie can show the
world not to destroy the rain forest just think how much more one individual will be able to
make a difference.
5. Overview
FernGully: The Last Rainforest is an animated film that follows
the adventures of Crysta a fairy and Zak, a human that was recently
shrunken down to fairy size. When Crysta discovers a part of the
forest she has never seen before, her curiosity gets the best of her as
she begins to explore the new found land. When she arrives there,
she discovers three humans in which she has only ever heard about
in tales. Frightened by Zak, she shrinks him down to fairy size.
Together they journey the rainforest until Hexxus, the films antagonist
is introduced into the equation. Hexxus, an evil spirit with nothing but
bad intentions tries once again to destroy the magical land known
As FernGully. In an effort to save the rain forest, Crysta and Zak as
well as the fellow FernGully natives must do whatever it takes to stop
Hexxus. This film demonstrates how both deforestation and pollution
harm the rainforest but all is not lost with effort to preserve the
rainforest.
7. Storyline
The movie begins in FernGully, a magical rainforest which is
home to the faeries who protect it. Humans are only myths to the
faeries, and are learned about through stories and never seen. The
main character is Crysta a faerie driven by her insatiable curiosity.
She is learning the magic of the forest by the faeries elder Magi
Lune. When a fruit bat crash lands in the rainforest, he befriends the
faeries and brings them a warning. Batty, the fruit bat, warns the
faeries of humans destroying the forest not too far from their home,
near Mount Warning. Crysta, driven by her curiosity, decides to
investigate the humans destroying the forest. There she meets Zak, a
human who is part of the team who is destroying the forest. When
Crysta is frightened by the tree leveler, believing it to be a monster
about to attack Zak, she shrinks the human into a faerie size. While

11. Cultural Aspects
Ferngully and Culture in Australia:
The movie FernGully spurred me on to research the culture of Australia. The movie is set in
the beautiful Australian rain forest. What I found was the present day culture and the
culture of the past, is of oral tradition, and was very interesting. From the time of the first
settlers, who were convicts, set up a penal colony on the huge island, in 1788, the culture
of Britain became a part of Australia. The Church of England, a branch of the Roman
Catholic Church has an interesting cultural idea involving FernGully. The fairies mentioned
could have very possibly been conceived from the idea, from the church, that these
were mischievous angels sent to earth. They would only make themselves known to us if
humans would need help. This is what happened with the fairy Crysta; she saved the
human, Zak by shrinking him, as he is about to be killed by a falling tree. She would have
stayed out of sight and would have never gotten involved with humans. The movie
FernGully mentions the name, of a mountain, Mount Mourning that is in the Australian rain
forest. Near Mount Mourning is the Kakadu National Forest. This area is loaded with the
Aboriginal culture. When Crysta is talking to Magi there are paintings like those of the
Kakadu stone paintings in Australia. These Aboriginal Paintings have been part of the
Australian culture since prehistoric, times, for more than 50,000 years. The Aborigines have
contributed to these paintings as late as 1986. One of the newer paintings, created in the
1960's, is of an aborigine throwing a spear, by famed artist Nonjombolmi. Ferngully shows
beautiful colors of trees, landscape and animal's alike. These trees and animals have
been preserved by the Aboriginal paintings. They have painted pictorials of many of the
same birds, trees, turtles, catfish, wallabies, mullet, possums, Barramundi and turtles that is
shown in the movie.
12. Cultural Aspects
An interesting part of the culture is the spirit paintings. Like the fairies of FernGully
the aboriginal culture have paintings of spirits, one such painting is of the Rainbow
Serpent dating back 23,000 years. Another painting is of the Namarrgan sisters,
sisters that are spirits who live in the stars and are responsible for making people ill
on this planet. Maybe, the fairies of FernGully and these spirits, from prehistoric
times, were more than just imagination. Maybe the Aboriginal culture will help us
determine weather the spirits and fairies are real, since the Aboriginal culture is the
oldest on the planet, dating back 50,000 years?
13. Technical Aspect
The magical world of FernGully was created by use of pictures that
were painted as well as the use of computer animation for the more
difficult animation aspects. Computer animation consists of computer
software that helps bring 2-D drawings to life. This is done by
uploading key positions of characters and scenery into the software
and allowing the computer to calculate the movements that would
take place in between the two positions. This process is known as
tweening. Although this process can be done by hand, it is much
quicker with the use of a computer.
14. Major Themes
Industrialization and Deforestation:
In the magical land known as
FernGully, fairies take shelter as well as
help continue the growth of the
rainforests through magical fairy
powers. While the film may be
intended for children, its message may
not be. A major theme that is
demonstrated in the film is
industrialization and its negative
impacts on our environment. This is
demonstrated in the film when three
humans use the leveler to cut down
and trim trees in the rainforest in
miraculous time.
15. Major Themes
Pollution:
While deforestation is a major factor that contributes to
the loss of habitat in FernGully, pollution is also a contributing
factor. Instead of the typical trash on the ground example,
pollution is demonstrated in the form of the antagonist known as
Hexxus. Hexxus, an evil spirit that uses common pollutions to both
transform his appearance as well as for food. Upon eating the
spray paint used to mark the trees, Hexxus takes shape as a blob
of toxic matter. When he begins to feed off the smoke coming
from the leveler, he takes the form of a silhouette of smoke. Lastly,
when he eats the oil from the leveler, he then becomes a burning
skeleton like creature with oil covering him.
