Urban delivery
This is the main issue of countries all over the world: CO2 emissions and air pollution in urban areas have reached a critical level in recent years.
Cities are now taking action, preventing polluting transport to access to their centre. E-commerce acceleration, 1-day delivery, a local network of distribution sites. As a distributor, we already set up solutions to deliver our customers until the last mile. Today, we go further, developing a more responsible delivery and keeping a high service rate to reach all of our clients, whatever their needs, wherever they are.
Problem
Over 830,000 people come to Colombo city daily, with 500,000 arriving by bus and 100,000 by train. The remaining 230,000 people use their own vehicles, including 200,000 private vehicles. This high volume of traffic causes Rs. 30 billion to be spent on fuel annually due to congestion, and reduces traffic speeds and increases air pollution. Implementing policies to reduce the number of private vehicles entering the city each day could help minimize congestion, save on fuel costs, and improve air quality.
Final presentation opt
London implemented a daily congestion charge for vehicles driving in central London beginning in 2003. The goal was to improve traffic flow, reduce pollution, and generate revenue to invest in public transportation and road safety. While traffic decreased and pollution levels improved in the congestion charge zone after implementation, reductions also occurred in surrounding non-charge areas, suggesting other factors like economic recession and higher fuel prices also contributed. Revenues from the charge were invested in improving bus and cycle infrastructure, further reducing congestion over time. The congestion charge helped free up space in the inner city but a holistic approach is needed, as a city's mobility depends on many co-dependent factors.

Future cities catapult - Dr. Cathy Mulligan
The document discusses the Future Cities Catapult, which is one of seven innovation centers in the UK that aims to commercialize innovations and take them to markets around the world. Specifically, the Future Cities Catapult focuses on addressing challenges facing urban areas, such as increasing populations, inequality, and resource pressures. It plans to create a market for solutions to urban issues by establishing a housing lab for data analytics and modeling, building digital strategy demonstrators in cities, and creating an economic impact database to prove viability and demand to businesses and cities.
Presentation1
Trafigura, a multinational metal and energy trading company, is accused of dumping toxic waste from one of its ships in Africa without proper processing, resulting in thousands falling sick and 10 deaths. The waste was so dangerous that the original disposal company said it would cost 20 times more to dispose of, so Trafigura hired an inexperienced company to dump it illegally for less money. A UN report later proved that Trafigura had fabricated claims about the waste being less toxic than originally thought. Trafigura was fined over $1 million for the dumping.

Smart Cities UK 2016
Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses.
With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport and other key smart sectors.

Economics of London Olympics
The London Olympics in 2012 will cost £9.2 billion, equivalent to around 1850 billion Sri Lankan rupees. This exceeds Sri Lanka's annual national budget of 1640 billion rupees. While supporters argue that it will boost the economy and British heritage, critics argue that the massive spending is unsustainable and benefits only large corporations, not citizens or taxpayers. Many host countries are left with "white elephants" like unused stadiums after the games end.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
