Tagline Inspiration
This document contains one-sentence slogans or taglines from various environmental, social justice, charitable, and educational organizations. The slogans promote causes such as protecting the environment, defending civil liberties and human rights, helping children in need, preventing animal cruelty, supporting veterans, ensuring access to clean water, and more.
Desalination!!
Desalination provides fresh water by removing salt from seawater but has some problems. The leftover brine is dumped back into the sea, affecting marine life. While desalination provides an alternative to competing for fresh water sources, it is an expensive process and the water produced is not as clean or safe as natural sources. Efforts are being made globally and in Qatar to reduce the environmental impacts of desalination.
Saving the rainforest project
This proposal outlines plans to raise $1,000 or more for the Rainforest Alliance through various school fundraisers. The money would be donated to support the Rainforest Alliance's work in education, sustainable agriculture and forestry, tourism, and fighting climate change. Two initial fundraisers include selling popcorn at football games and bracelets during lunch. A third proposed fundraiser is a dog wash event. The document argues that saving rainforests is important for biodiversity, climate regulation, medicine, and more. It identifies logging, agriculture, dams, mining and unsustainable tourism as key threats to rainforests.

Sustainability Advisor Lesson 2016 v3
This document is a presentation from Maya Spaur, Sustainability Advisor at the University of Maryland, about sustainability issues and efforts at UMD. It discusses the large number of cell phones owned by students and electronic waste. It also outlines UMD's sustainability commitments, challenges like climate change and species extinction, and ways students are leading sustainability efforts on campus through projects and organizations. The presentation promotes individual actions like reducing meat consumption and living car-free to help create a sustainable world.
Works
Endangered species are competing with growing rural human populations for habitat and resources on private lands not protected by the government. Previous attempts to address this such as handouts, legislation, and enforcement have failed to create an equitable solution. African cities are expanding rapidly due to population growth and rural migration, but many cannot provide basic needs. This has led to overexploitation of natural resources for hundreds of miles around cities, negatively impacting rural communities and endangered species. If not addressed, rural areas without resources will become impoverished and potential hotspots for disease and conflict. Long-term solutions require political support for rural communities to protect environments and integrating biodiversity protection into development and aid discussions. Cities must also find sustainable ways to meet
WMEAC
WMEAC took middle school students from Grand Rapids to Hoffmaster State Park as part of its "To the Lake" program, with many students visiting Lake Michigan for the first time. WMEAC also introduced a Kill-a-Watt loan program to help consumers reduce energy use. Additionally, Fifteen to the River debuted a video on stormwater education and there were announcements for upcoming bikestock and green events.

The document introduces sustainability and its importance for higher education institutions. It discusses how sustainability means meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. The higher education sector faces pressures to reduce carbon emissions and waste and cut costs from rising resource prices. Barriers to change include lack of awareness, skills and resources, but institutions can celebrate small successes to motivate further progress toward sustainability.A Green Mission Transforms Veterans Job Search
One of the most difficult aspects for veterans transitioning into civilian life is the loss of the sense of mission. Without the sense of purpose they found in their work in the military they are often left feeling uninspired and disconnected.

The document discusses New Zealand's agribusiness future and focuses on opportunities to increase export revenues and promote value over volume. It suggests that (1) New Zealand should promote its clean, green credentials and high food safety and animal welfare standards directly to international consumers to capture premium prices, (2) the government and industry should invest more in branding and marketing New Zealand products at the consumer level as countries like Zespri have done successfully, and (3) farmers need guidance and support to innovate, such as one farmer's transition to more drought-resistant lucerne grazing with Lincoln University's help, to ensure sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren.
