The document describes a final project to develop an appropriate light source for villages in developing countries. It proposes a dynamo-powered lantern that villagers can build themselves using locally available materials and tools. A dynamo attached to a bicycle would generate power to charge a lead-acid battery from old motorcycle batteries. The lantern design uses acrylic glass with a scratched surface and three LEDs, which can be powered by the voltage from the lead battery. The goal is to create an affordable, sustainable light alternative to kerosene lamps that villagers can easily repair or rebuild themselves.
This document discusses an effective marketing approach for both existing clients and new sales pursuits. The approach involves three key elements:
1) Attaining a thought leadership position by demonstrating solid subject matter expertise and providing relevant information. This builds trust and positions the company as knowledgeable.
2) Repeated communication of consistent, tailored messages through multiple channels to make the messaging more effective.
3) Securing endorsements or "plus ones" from influencers, analysts, peers and media to quickly build trust with prospective clients in the B2B space.
The document discusses implementing an ERP management system for a real estate company called Nirmala Consol Private Limited. Currently, the company's bill generation process takes 3 months to complete. Implementing an ERP system would integrate different departments like marketing, finance, IT, and HR. It would allow efficient data sharing and minimize the bill generation process to only 4 days. An ERP system would improve information quality, decision making, planning, cash management, inventory management, productivity and other operational functions. It would reduce the time management accountants spend on data collection and increase the time spent on analysis. In conclusion, an ERP system offers long term cost efficiencies and enhances communication and productivity across the organization.
The Green New Deal Group proposes a modernized version of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program to tackle the interlinked crises of climate change, recession, and energy depletion. They argue that massive global stimulus is needed to manage the financial crisis, and that investment should go toward a green future to fight climate change, create green jobs, and spur green growth. The Green New Deal would utilize Keynesian monetary and fiscal policies like low interest rates, public investment, and job creation to stimulate the economy while transitioning to renewable energy and sustainability.
The document provides an overview of British Columbia's developing liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry. It notes that BC has an abundant supply of natural gas and is seeking to capitalize on growing Asian demand by developing LNG export facilities.

VNCI persconferentie december 2009 - presentatie Jan ZuidamVNCI
Met een daling van het productievolume met vijf procent en een omzetverlies van 25 procent ten opzichte van 2008 (voorlopige cijfers) kan 2009 voor de chemische industrie in Nederland als ‘zwaar’ worden gekenschetst. Zowel qua productievolume als qua omzet is de sector terug op het niveau van eind 2003. Aldus VNCI-voorzitter Jan Zuidam vandaag tijdens de eindejaarspersconferentie van zijn organisatie.
Op 9 mei 2019 was er de dertiende editie van de TransLab Kampus: dé Kempense bijeenkomst voor iedereen die met transitie en duurzaamheid bezig is.
Die draaide rond duurzame voeding.
Jef Van Eyck had het over het mondiale voedselprobleem (uitdagingen, problemen, oplossingen). TransLab K en Voedselteams stelden er ook de Duurzame Menukaart voor: een brochure met 10 tips om op het werk duurzame voedingskeuzes te maken.

Het jaarlijkse binnenlandse aardgasverbruik varieert de afgelopen vijftien jaar van 44 tot 52 miljard m3. Er is nog ongeveer 500 miljard m3 winbaar gas - daar zijn we dus in 10 tot 15 jaar doorheen. De gaskraan gaat vanzelf dicht en dan moeten we Noors of Russisch gas importeren, tenzij we zelf voor een andere oplossing kiezen. De winning van Noors gas daalt ook rond 2030. Vooral Rusland is dan onze redder in nood, een ongemakkelijk vooruitzicht.

Presentatie MO*lezing jacqueline mcglade over Een groene economie binnen de g...Mondiaal nieuws
This document summarizes a lecture about responding to ecological overshoot and moving toward a green economy. It notes that in the 20th century, population increased 4x, global freshwater withdrawals 3x, economic output 22x, and fossil fuel consumption 14x, which is unsustainable. It discusses that Europeans consume disproportionately more of some global resources than their population share. The largest environmental pressures come from food/drink, housing, and mobility. Recycling can only contribute modestly to reducing materials consumption. It advocates managing natural capital and ecosystem services to improve resource efficiency and resilience, enhancing human well-being through a green economy that uses various types of capital efficiently.
The document discusses land ownership and property distribution in Bahrain. It questions how much land is owned by the ruling family versus available for public and residential use, notes several large properties owned by ruling family members, and suggests a significant percentage of Bahrain's total land area has been illegally distributed to private owners. It compares the sizes of these private estates to residential areas and questions how property ownership can be made more equitable.
De Amerikaanse hoogleraar Walter Benn Michaels publiceerde in 2006 een opmerkelijk boek: 'The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality'. Zijn analyse is dat de Verenigde Staten de voorbije decennia grote stappen voorwaarts gezet hebben op het vlak van diversiteit en erkenning van de vele identiteiten die samen een samenleving vormen, maar dat de politieke en maatschappelijke krachten in diezelfde periode alle aandacht verloren hebben voor herverdeling en (inkomens)gelijkheid. Twee jaar later werd Barack Obama verkozen tot president en stortte de economie in met massale verarming van de werkende en werkloze bevolking als gevolg. Hoe kijkt hij anno 2012 naar de verhouding tussen diversiteit en gelijkheid in de VS en heeft hij suggesties voor Europa, waar een gelijkaardige evolutie vandaag waarschijnlijker is dan ooit. Bekijk hier zijn powerpointvoorstelling die hij op 7 mei gebruikte op een MO*lezing in het Antwerpse Zuiderpershuis. Meer info: www.mo.be
MO*lezing Richard Wilkinson: "Waarom gelijkheid beter is voor iedereen"Mondiaal nieuws
Op dinsdag 12 april 2011 gaf professor Richard Wilkinson in een uitverkochte Beursschouwburg een boeiende MO*lezing over gelijkheid en ongelijkheid. Ondersteund door heel wat onderzoek betoogde hij dat samenlevingen met meer inkomensongelijkheid meer gezondheids- en sociale problemen hebben. Bekijk hier zijn powerpointvoorstelling.
MO* wou wat meer inzicht in de manier waarop de Vlaming reageert op de grote problemen waar we samen voor staan. Raakt de economische crisis u? Doet u wat aan de klimaatcrisis? Gelooft u de mensen nog die in ons aller naam richting moeten geven aan de samenleving?
The document discusses the Green New Deal, which is proposed as a solution to address the interconnected crises of climate change, recession, and energy depletion. The Green New Deal would invest in a green future through massive global stimulus spending. It would fight climate change, create green jobs, and spur green economic growth. The Green New Deal aims to transform the economy and banking system to prioritize sustainable and low-carbon investment and development while providing job security.
