The document outlines a project to develop a database and application for Mivox using the IBC problem-solving method. It describes the project members encountering a coding problem. The IBC steps are then applied: defining the problem as a lack of unified storage and communication issues; structuring the problem; gathering internal interview data on the issues; synthesizing the data to identify specific problems; and structuring a report to create buy-in which recommends using a group chat room, cloud sharing, and meeting minutes.

The document discusses the Industrial Revolution in Germany from the late 18th century to the late 19th century and the aftermath of World War 1. It notes that the Industrial Revolution first spread to Germany in the 1840s-1850s and that Germany saw high industrial growth rates between the 1860s-1890s which increased its foreign trade. It also discusses protective agriculture policies that supported growth. After World War 1, the Treaty of Versailles required Germany to disarm and lose land, contributing to the stab-in-the-back myth.
Apple discusses its efforts towards becoming net zero energy through developing renewable energy sources like solar farms, protecting forests to offset paper usage, and increasing the renewable energy supply rate for its global operations and data centers to 87% and 100%, respectively, while also reusing materials like recycling over 33,000 tons of aluminum, copper, and other metals in 2014.
Emirates Airline has grown significantly since its founding in 1985. It now flies to over 150 destinations worldwide with a fleet of over 200 aircraft. The airline has won numerous awards for its services and products. Some of its keys to success include operating a young and efficient fleet, providing excellent onboard service and entertainment, and pursuing an international expansion strategy without relying on government subsidies.

Piracy off the coast of Somalia has been a significant issue, with pirates attacking and hijacking ships sailing through the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. Somalia has not had an effective central government since the 1990s, and many turned to piracy as a criminal way to make money, with attacks often involving taking hostages for ransom. International efforts have helped reduce pirate attacks in recent years through increased naval patrols and ships taking self-defense measures.
