The Sumerians established advanced city-states in Mesopotamia around 3000 BC, where rulers claimed divine approval and religion played a central role. Sargon later conquered the region to form the first empire, though it did not last after his death as rival city-states regained power. The Sumerians developed new technologies, built walled cities like Ur for protection, and practiced polytheism with gods influencing all aspects of life.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already have a condition.
The Pantheon in Rome is one of the best preserved ancient buildings. It has a large portico with three rows of eight columns supporting its entrance. The interior consists of a perfect sphere inscribed within a cylinder, with a large oculus at the center of the dome that provides natural light and ventilation. Though originally built as a pagan temple, it was later converted to a Catholic church dedicated to Mary and the martyrs.
This document contains an assignment on managerial economics from Semester 1 of an MBA program. It includes questions and answers on topics such as:
1. Describing the different phases of a business cycle including contraction, trough, expansion, and peak.
2. Explaining the objectives, instruments, and relationship with other economic policies of monetary policy.
3. Calculating the price elasticity of supply using data provided in a question.
4. Providing brief descriptions of implicit vs explicit costs and actual vs opportunity costs.
5. Explaining the relationship between total revenue, average revenue, and marginal revenue under different market conditions.
This document provides information about the editorial board of the journal Global Drugs and Therapeutics (GDT). GDT is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that considers manuscripts on latest developments in drug discovery and therapy. The editorial board is led by an editor-in-chief, who is currently unlisted, and includes researchers and professors from various universities and countries with expertise in areas related to drug development and therapeutics.
This document summarizes a presentation on recruitment and retention strategies for businesses facing challenges hiring and keeping employees. It discusses how the agricultural labor market will see shortages in the coming years due to retirements, fewer students majoring in agriculture, and increased competition for skilled workers. The presentation provides strategies for businesses to "weatherproof" themselves including reducing turnover by focusing on employee satisfaction, streamlining hiring to find the right cultural fits, developing employees, and establishing a strong employer brand to attract top talent. It emphasizes the importance of communication, knowledge transfer within companies, and leaders who champion continuous internal recruiting.
This document discusses how to increase website conversion rates through A/B testing and leveraging how the human brain works. It provides examples of case studies where websites optimized elements like pricing displays, forms, video vs text testimonials, and page layouts, resulting in conversion rate increases ranging from 13% to 300%. The presentation emphasizes testing website variations, as Amazon tests over 200 variations per month compared to an average of less than 2 for most companies. It also discusses tools that can help with A/B testing and lead generation coupons.
The document discusses developing an evaluation method for assessing the quality of internet connectivity for global travelers using tourist data SIM cards. It proposes that ISOC chapters could work together to 1) develop an evaluation method using techniques like Augmented Traffic Control to measure experience scores on popular apps under different speeds, 2) discuss the method on mailing lists, 3) form a SIG to further the work, and 4) eventually build a global test platform by providing testing devices in chapters around the world to report on tourist SIM quality monthly. The goal is to provide travelers a reasonable priced option with good enough quality internet when roaming globally.
