This document discusses the scope and importance of floriculture in India. It begins by introducing floriculture as the cultivation and marketing of ornamental plants, cut flowers, and their economic products. It then discusses how India has suitable climate and soil for growing many flower varieties. While floriculture holds potential for income, employment, and exports, India currently accounts for a small portion of the global market. The document outlines strengths like climate and variety, as well as weaknesses and opportunities to strengthen the industry such as value addition, greenhouse cultivation, and developing more storage and cold chain facilities.
Floriculture is the cultivation and management of flowers and ornamental plants. It involves growing bedding plants, houseplants, cut flowers, and more for gardens, landscaping, and floral arrangements. Floriculture is an important industry both economically and aesthetically. It generates income, employment opportunities, and adds beauty to our surroundings. Globally, the ornamental crop industry is worth over $70 billion annually, with over three lakh hectares of land under flower production worldwide. India has suitable agroclimatic conditions for growing many commercial flowers.
Mintzberg and Mandela both emphasized the importance of self-reflection, understanding others, and leading through challenging times of change. Mandela drew on his experience in prison to develop empathy and think deeply about solving problems. Both noted that changing society requires inner change in people and leaders must understand contexts and work with others globally and locally. Mandela likened a leader to a shepherd who guides from behind and said freedom requires continuing responsibility through further change.

If bystander effects for apoptosis occur in spleen after low dose irradiation...Leishman Associates
This document summarizes a study on detecting radiation bystander effects at low doses in vivo by measuring apoptosis in mouse spleen. The study found:
1) No significant changes in apoptosis were detected at low doses of 0.01 and 1 mGy in temporal studies of mouse spleen up to 7 days post-irradiation.
2) Any expected apoptosis changes due to direct effects based on the linear no-threshold model at these low doses would be a small fraction of the natural variation in apoptosis levels.
3) If bystander apoptotic effects do exist in spleen after low dose irradiation, they fall within the normal homeostatic range of apoptosis in spleen.

The document summarizes a study conducted by the RAAF Institute of Aviation Medicine to measure the real-world effectiveness of foam earplugs when used by untrained users, compared to laboratory tests. 43 aircrew had their earplug insertion technique and noise attenuation measured before and after a brief insertion training. Results showed that before training, earplugs provided significantly less attenuation than factory specifications, but attenuation improved by an average of 10 dB after training. The study demonstrates the importance of proper insertion technique training to maximize hearing protection and reduce noise exposure risks for aircrew.

The document discusses improving critical thinking skills through educational technology. It outlines that critical thinking is a valued but difficult to teach skill. The Reason! project developed Reason!Able software to provide students with quality practice in critical thinking through activities that are motivated, guided, scaffolded, graduated with feedback. Students using the software showed dramatic gains in critical thinking abilities compared to traditional methods. The document argues quality practice through educational technology may be an effective way to enhance critical thinking skills.
The document describes a day in the life of an animal checking on its territory and family, finding all safe. It then tries to get others to play a game but no one wants to at first, until finally convincing others for a game of tag to the back door which it enjoys, though claims after to just be resting and not snoozing.

This document summarizes the results of a quarterly survey of New Zealand franchisors and service providers. It found that franchisors remained optimistic about general business conditions and their own growth prospects. While franchisors were positive about access to suitable franchisees and locations, they expressed neutral views on access to financing and staffing. Franchisors and service providers both expressed confidence in franchisee sales levels but were less positive about future franchisee profitability and more negative about operating costs. The full results are available on the Franchizing Confidence website.

Demo Driven Development at DDD BrisbaneMiguel Madero
Demo Driven Development is a tacit development methodology that has gained popularity in the last few years thanks to the hype and adoption of Agile Practices. In this presentation, I will show you how to identify it, avoid it and even be successful with it.
The slides don't tell you much, since they were only for support during the presentation, but I leave them here as a reference.
The document describes the assembly instructions for a Styrocontrol 1.8 system. It includes a bill of materials and step-by-step instructions to construct the main components: a silo to hold pellets made of MDF sheets with a cloth cover, a PP valve at the bottom, a support structure made of welded metal profiles, a venturi system connected to pneumatic tubes, a pressure regulator, and straps to secure the tubes. Diagrams illustrate the pneumatic circuit that powers the system using a venturi and pedals to control a pneumatic cylinder and suction speed. Contact details are provided for the design team.
The document presents the findings of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the Science, Environmental and Agricultural Life Skills (SEAL) programme implemented by VVOB Cambodia in 2012. Data was collected through observations, logbooks, interviews, and focus groups.
The M&E report assessed progress towards improving learning outcomes for pupils, increasing teachers' understanding of integrating technology, pedagogy and content knowledge, and strengthening teacher training centers. Key findings include increased use of student-centered approaches by teachers and more developed teaching resources, though challenges remain in content and methodology skills. The report concludes by identifying lessons learned and informing planning for 2013.
This document provides information on key concepts and terms related to gingivitis and periodontitis. It discusses the epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, and management of gingivitis. Regarding periodontitis, it discusses the epidemiology and etiology. Gingivitis is very common and affects 50-90% of adults worldwide. It is caused by bacterial plaque. Risk factors include poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, diabetes, older age, decreased immunity, certain medications, infections, dry mouth, and hormonal changes. Management involves improving oral hygiene habits such as using a power toothbrush and antimicrobial mouthwash. Periodontitis is also common, affecting 35% of those ages 30+.
1. This document presents geological data from borehole samples including lithology, physical properties, and geochemical characteristics.
2. The samples were taken from 7 boreholes and represent different rock formations from depths of around 1,200 to 1,300 meters.
3. Chemical analysis of the samples shows their compositions of elements like silicon, aluminum, and carbon along with isotopic ratios. Physical properties such as density and magnetic susceptibility are also reported.
