The fundamental problem of IT and Datacenter e-wasteRien Dijkstra
The global e-waste problem is escalating. A lot of the electronic devices are IT and Telecommunications Equipment and are used by corporate consumers. But using metrics to quantify how well a corporate consumer of IT equipment responsibly manages it once it has been used and is no longer useful to the corporate consumer doesn't solve the underlying fundamental problem of e-waste.

Plug loads in commercial buildings are a growing area of energy use. They can be as much as 50% of total energy use in buildings that have addressed other efficiency areas such as the building envelope, glazing, HVAC and lighting. Managing the area of occupant energy use is a high priority to achieve energy reduction targets and climate change policies.
This presentation by Cathy Higgins, Research Director at New Buildings Institute, was given at the E Source Energy Managers Round Table, Boulder CO. in April 2013.

News Coverage for The Curiosity School- STEM Education appMicroEmpowering.org
This presentation lists all the recent press coverage received by for Curiosity School - STEM series app developed by MicroEmpowering.
The app is a greener alternative for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to curious middle school students.
This iPad app was designed to promote a "learn by doing" approach to education by providing each user with a series of experiments, which are easily reproduced at home.
For enhanced learning, each experiment focuses on explaining how a certain STEM education concept works in practice.
This hands-on app allows students to take scientific theory to the next level by building and testing concepts in the real world, while fostering an interactive on-line learning experience.

What is E-waste? – What causes E-waste?: Rapid development of upgraded electronic equipments forces the disposal of outdated equipments. – What makes E-waste hazardous?: All electronic equipments are made up of materials, which are harmful to human and pollute the environment when exposed. The harmful materials used in the manufacture of electronic equipments are Lead, Mercury, Plastics, CFCs, Cadmium, etc. – Current status of E-waste: E-waste now a day’s forces the world experts to turn back, as it’s a rapid growing problem in the developed and developing countries to recycle it or to dispose it safely so that they don’t pose any environmental pollution or hazards. – What caused the current state of E-waste: The lack of awareness about the hazardous & polluting nature of E-waste. And the cost to recycle E-wastes. – How to control E-waste? Reduce and Recycle: When a equipment is not working it doesn’t mean that the whole equipment has spoiled but generally just one part. By trying to use the equipments as long as possible by getting it repaired at service centers helps in reducing the accumulation of E-wastes. On the other hand certain equipments have to be disposed, at that time recycling of them prevents E-waste. – How to recycle?: The recycling of E-waste is not a simple process that can be performed all were, as they deal with harmful materials, and which requires lot of stuffs. The recycle of E-waste is done in many categories according to the material out of which it is made. – Benefits of recycling E-waste: The electronic equipments are made of material or resources such as Lead, Mercury, Plastics, CFCs, Cadmium, etc., which are nonrenewable can be recovered by the recycling process. Thus preventing nonrenewable resources from becoming extinct. Due to the availability of resources by recycling too they may account for the decrease in cost of the equipments. – Why recycling of E-waste is costly: The recycling of E-waste is costly when compared to recycling of other matters. This is because the composition of the equipments are harmful the recycling of which should be done with extensive care in hi-tech manner with expensive tools. The recycling of E-waste requires large labor as the primary aspect of recycling them is to categories them in metals, plastic, glass, etc., for further processing. As major constituent of E-waste is circuit board the de-soldering of which requires labor? These things makes recycling of E-waste costly. – Steps to control E-waste: The major reason of E-waste is the lack of awareness about it among the consumers of the electronic equipments. The control of E-waste can be achieved by creating awareness to the consumers about the hazardous nature of the equipments on disposal while selling the products. The E-waste recycle centers should be in reach of the consumers to disclose them safely to the recycler. The produce of the electronic equipments can implement the E-waste recycle unit
E-waste, also known as electronic waste, refers to discarded electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, and other electronic equipment. This waste contains hazardous and non-biodegradable materials, including heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium, as well as other toxic chemicals, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), brominated flame retardants, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
The presentation is about the adances in electronics keeping in mind that it affects the environment minimally.
First we look at how electronic devices have caused a problem to the environment.
Then we look at the technological advances and researches that can help in making environment friendly devices.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. What do Electronics Contain?
Computers, monitors,
and printers contain
hazardous materials,
such as lead, mercury,
and cadmium.
While they are safe to
use, they are harmful
to the environment if
not disposed of
correctly.
3. EPEAT Products
When buying
electronics, look for
products rated as
EPEAT(the global registry
for greener electronics).
EPEAT products use less
harmful materials, more
recycled content, are
energy efficient, and are
easily recycled.
4. Disposing of Electronics
You can recycle
unwanted electronics
through drop-off or
mail-back programs.
Manufacturers of
electronics will usually
use drop-off or mail-
back programs to
recycle their products.
5. Drop-off & Mail-back Programs
Drop-off programs can
be found at your local
electronic retail store.
Mail-back recycling
programs often allow
you to ship products
for free or for a
minimal rebate.
6. Donate your Electronics
If your electronics are
still useable but
unwanted, you can
donate them to a
charitable
organization.
