Lesson8 where’s the prospect of new oilSarah Marks
The document discusses the debate around drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and exploiting Canada's tar sands. ANWR is seen as an important potential source of oil, but drilling is controversial. Arguments for drilling cite job creation and energy security, while arguments against point to potential environmental damage and the small overall oil yield. Exploiting tar sands is also controversial due to its large environmental impact from mining and refining operations. The document presents information on both sides of the debates to consider the tradeoffs around increasing energy production through these means.
This document provides an overview and expectations for an A2 Geography course. It outlines the units that will be covered, including key topics like energy security, water conflicts, and biodiversity.

IGOs like the UN, NATO, IMF and World Bank allow powerful nations like the USA and EU to promote their interests on a global scale. While IGOs aim to foster cooperation, critics argue they are dominated by superpowers and promote their agendas. IGOs make key decisions influencing the global economy, conflicts, and environment, giving outsized influence to major donors. However, IGOs also help smaller nations and provided aid that rebuilt countries after WWII. Whether IGOs increase or decrease American power is debated, but they allow the USA to spread its ideology and priorities worldwide.
The document discusses OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. It provides information on OPEC's 12 member countries, its aims to stabilize oil prices and ensure stable supply, and its role in coordinating production quotas in response to demand.

Exploiting the new wave of empowered online usersHugh Wallace
Oxjam is a month-long fundraising event organized by Oxfam that uses online social networks like Myspace to empower individuals to plan their own music events to raise money. Myspace was a good platform because it had a large existing user base in music and allowed organizers to connect, coordinate regional events, and promote their activities. The Oxjam campaign on Myspace was very successful at driving traffic to the main website and press coverage of local events, showing the potential of social networks for grassroots fundraising campaigns. However, it also presented challenges like losing some control over branding and ensuring the network remained engaged over the long term.

Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management.
