3 religions powerpoint 2013 14
The three major monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - originated in Southwest Asia and share some common beliefs but also have key differences. Judaism began with the Israelites and belief in God/Yahweh over 3,700 years ago. Christianity arose from Judaism through the teachings of Jesus Christ and his disciples. Islam was founded in the 7th century by the prophet Muhammad and is the youngest of the three faiths. All three religions believe in one supreme god and have important holy texts, but they differ in their prophets, holy days, and some religious practices and beliefs.

Needs vs wants
The document discusses the differences between needs and wants, and fixed vs flexible expenses. Needs are things that are essential for survival like food and shelter. Wants provide enjoyment but are not essential. Fixed expenses like rent and utilities must be paid regularly each month. Flexible expenses like food and clothing can vary in amount each month. Keeping spending records helps people realize how much they spend on non-essential wants. The document also briefly mentions that borrowing money results in debt owed to creditors.
Budget project powerpoint

British Colonization
The British colony of Australia began in 1788 with the establishment of a penal settlement at Port Jackson in New South Wales. Overcrowding in British prisons led the government to send convicts to Australia to establish prison colonies where they would provide labor. From the 1810s onward, convict transportation increased and convicts built up Australia's infrastructure and worked for settlers. The most notorious prison was Port Arthur in Tasmania, which housed the hardest criminals from 1833 to the 1850s. Gold discoveries in the 1850s attracted many new settlers and accelerated Australia's growth toward independence from Britain.
Australia is Discovered
The document summarizes the origin and history of the name "Australia" and the early European exploration of the continent. It notes that Australia comes from the Latin word meaning "southern" and was commonly referenced in medieval times. The first undisputed European sighting was by the Dutch in 1606, who explored parts of the northern coast but were attacked by Aboriginal people. Later, Tasmania was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642 and claimed for the Netherlands. The British began exploring Australia in the late 17th century and in 1770 Captain James Cook mapped the east coast and claimed it for Britain, naming it New South Wales.
Australia - travel brochure
This document provides instructions for creating a brochure about Australia by folding paper into thirds, writing five paragraphs on the landscape, history, people, economy and government, and decorating the cover and filling remaining space with pictures.
Australia History - The Aborigines
The first people arrived in Australia approximately 60,000 years ago by traveling via boats from Southeast Asia to the single landmass of Sahul, which included Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania. As the most recent Ice Age ended around 10,000 years ago, sea levels rose and cut off Australia from New Guinea and Tasmania. The original inhabitants of Australia became known as Australian Aborigines, who lived in small groups and were hunter-gatherers that depended on the resources available in the different areas of the island. While there was no single leader, Aborigines established trade networks to connect groups and diversify available goods.
Australia - Brochure directions
Australia is a diverse country with a rich history and culture. It has a population of indigenous Aborigines as well as people of many backgrounds. The brochure should provide high-level information about Australia under sections including general info, Aborigines, people, culture, government, and economy to introduce readers to this unique nation.
How Australians trade
Australia exports many natural resources, especially iron ore and coal, to China. China provides finished goods in return and is also a leading source of international tourists to Australia due to its proximity. Australia's mining industry is a major part of its economy, with the country being the top exporter of resources like iron ore, coal, bauxite, and diamonds. Gold mining attracted many immigrants in the 1800s.
Where Australians live
Most Australians live along the eastern coast of Australia in urban areas. Nearly 80% live in cities, with over 70% living in cities with over 100,000 people. The most populated cities are Sydney and Melbourne. Most Australians prefer to live along the southeastern coast, which has a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters, similar to parts of the US. The interior Outback has very little rainfall and sparse settlements, though mining is an important business conducted there, extracting resources like coal, iron ore, copper, gold, and other minerals. Farming also occurs in areas with sufficient land and rainfall.
Australia - Physical and Political Features
1) Australia is divided into states and territories, with the largest and most populated being New South Wales, Queensland, and Western Australia.
2) Physically, Australia is the smallest continent and flattest country, characterized by vast desert plains in the interior and milder climates along the southeastern and southwestern coasts, where most Australians live.
3) Major physical features include the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef system off the coast of Queensland, and Ayers Rock, a massive sandstone monolith in the country's center.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
