Tourism - general
Tourism has grown rapidly since 1960, increasing from approximately 25 million international tourist arrivals that year to over 1 billion in 2010. This growth is due to factors like more leisure time and higher incomes allowing for increased travel. Tourism is a major global industry that provides many jobs, especially in service industries. However, mass tourism has environmental and social impacts and its economic benefits often flow disproportionately to large foreign companies rather than local communities. Case studies of Thailand show it has become highly dependent on tourism, but many tourism workers have low wages and unstable incomes.

This document summarizes coastal erosion and management strategies in two locations in the UK - Highcliffe and Barton-on-Sea. At Highcliffe, erosion was causing damage to properties at a rate of 2 meters per year, so hard and soft engineering methods were used to hold the line, including rock armor, drainage systems, and cliff reshaping. These strategies are costly but protect valuable homes. In contrast, Barton-on-Sea uses managed retreat, allowing erosion and eventual formation of a protective platform. While initially losing land, this strategy is more environmentally sustainable in the long run by not disrupting sediment transport.

This summarizes a document describing the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. It began by locating Iceland on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates are diverging. The causes of the eruption were explained as magma rising to the surface due to plate movement. The effects in Iceland were minor, but the ash cloud spread over Europe, grounding flights and costing airlines billions. Measures to manage volcanic hazards in Iceland focus on evacuations and monitoring, which helped minimize loss of life during this eruption.
What happens when the plates meet
Mud pots and hot springs along the San Andreas Fault in California reveal new insights about the fault's structure and movement. Geologists have discovered that the fault is not a single clean fracture but is a complex network of smaller intersecting faults that split and rejoin. This finding helps explain why earthquake activity is broader than previously thought, with seismicity occurring miles away from the primary fault strand. It also suggests that stresses can build up over a wider area prior to a large earthquake on the fault.
When the earth moves
This document discusses plate tectonics and how the earth's crust is made up of moving tectonic plates. It describes how convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the plates to slowly drift via processes such as continental drift. Key terms are defined, including fault, continental drift, subduction zone, convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and transform boundary. Students are tasked to research and investigate plate tectonics using textbooks and include relevant keywords in their explanations of how plate tectonics creates earthquakes and volcanoes.

Case studies are provided on the cities of Portsmouth, UK and Mumbai, India to illustrate characteristics of urban areas.
Self Review of Settlement
This document summarizes the key concepts and topics that a student has learned in their Settlement unit. It includes explanations of settlement location advantages, spheres of influence, land use models, patterns of land use in cities, settlement hierarchies, housing redevelopment impacts, sustainable settlements, changing land use, urbanization push and pull factors and impacts, shanty towns, transport issues, counter-urbanization, goods and services in urban and rural areas, town centre decline, and definitions of related terms. The student indicates they may need to revisit some parts of the topic.
Hazards 1
Natural hazards can cause disasters when they negatively impact humans. There are different types of hazards including tectonic hazards like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, climatic hazards like hurricanes and tropical storms, and drought. The distribution of these hazards depends on the natural processes that cause them. For example, earthquakes and volcanoes often occur in areas with tectonic plate boundaries, while tropical storms usually affect regions near the equator. The impacts of disasters vary between more and less economically developed countries.
Self review of Natural hazards
This document summarizes a student's knowledge after completing a unit on natural hazards. The student can: 1) describe global patterns of volcanoes and earthquakes and explain reasons for their distribution; 2) explain how the Earth's structure relates to where earthquakes and volcanoes occur; and 3) draw and label different plate boundaries and explain what happens at each type. The student can also analyze and give examples of impacts of various natural hazards.
Self review of Coasts

It also lists that the student can describe different coastal management strategies and their impacts through case studies. The student indicates they may need to revisit certain topics like specific coastal landforms or management terms.
Tropical storms
Tropical storms form over warm ocean waters with temperatures of at least 27°C. Low air pressure and winds up to 175 mph are characteristics of these storms. When tropical storms make landfall, they can have devastating primary effects like strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges, as well as secondary effects like flooding, infrastructure damage, and loss of life.
Ledc case study haiti
The 2010 Haiti earthquake caused widespread damage and loss of life.

It defines internal growth as expansion using a firm's own resources, financed through profits. External growth is growth through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), called inorganic growth. The benefits of organic growth include better control but limitations are diseconomies of scale. External growth allows faster expansion but at a high cost. Other external growth strategies discussed are joint ventures, which share costs/risks/rewards, and strategic alliances, where firms remain independent but collaborate.

1) The importance of international expansion as a diversification strategy and understanding sources of national advantage.
2) The motivations and risks associated with international expansion, including increasing market scope and reducing costs.
3) The two opposing forces of cost reduction and adaptation to local markets that firms face internationally.
4) The advantages and limitations of global, multidomestic, and transnational strategies, and the four basic entry strategies of exporting, licensing, strategic alliances, and wholly owned subsidiaries.
Cisco Presentation
Cisco Systems chose to use strategic alliances and partnerships rather than exporting to expand into foreign markets. This allowed them to meet customer needs worldwide, enhance competitiveness by focusing on core competencies, improve processes, reduce costs, and expand into new markets in a cost-effective way. Managing these collaborations posed challenges in achieving objectives and dealing with different cultures. However, Cisco continued using partnerships successfully to serve more global customers.

The research and experimentation credit recently was enhanced to give small businesses greater access to its benefits. Eligible small businesses can now elect to offset their liability for AMT or payroll tax with research credits, where many payroll tax returns filed in the fourth quarter of 2017 will first see these credit claims.
As we explore many of the activities that qualify small businesses to the research credit, we will also review the eligibility criteria for the payroll tax offset, as well as the manner in which the payroll tax offset works for employers using PEOs to lease employees.Introduction to Engineering economics

Anna Forshaw's #TMRGS presentation on decision making
This document describes strategies for using layered decision making activities at Key Stage 4 to ensure student progression. It discusses increasing demands like interpreting a wide range of resources and skills. Layered decision making involves students being drip-fed information and having to assess and demonstrate progression through failure. It involves individual, paired, and group work in mixed ability settings using scaffolds to encourage evidence in responses. Roles are designated to encourage considering different stakeholders' perspectives. Questions are used to find out information and make inferences while linking concepts and using peer and self-assessment.

Deb Syme's #TMRGS presentation
1) The document discusses underachieving GCSE geography students and the potential role of executive dysfunction. It notes that executive functions like planning, organization and working memory are necessary skills for problem solving.
2) It provides examples of teacher complaints about students' disorganized work, inability to follow instructions, and lack of focus. These could potentially be signs of executive dysfunction rather than laziness.
3) The document argues that mild or moderate mental disabilities should be recognized and accommodated similarly to physical disabilities. Labeling symptoms rather than students could help target interventions to improve outcomes.

Shakespeare was a Geographer - so was Pythagoras (Jo Debens #TMRGS)
This document discusses whether geography is considered a subject and highlights some of the key concepts and skills involved in geography. It notes that an geographer would deal with places, vocabulary, context, processes, analysis, relationships, interactions, management, problem-solving, conclusions, decision-making, practical skills, GIS, numeracy, literacy, and fieldwork. It also argues that famous historical figures like William Shakespeare and Pythagoras were essentially geographers in their analysis of places, landscapes, climate, and environments in their works. A number of extracts from literature are presented and analyzed from a geographic perspective.
