The document discusses basic human needs like food, water, shelter, clothing, medical care, and education. It notes that sometimes people lack these needs due to reasons like natural disasters, war, loss of job, poverty, accidents, bad economy, or prejudice. Two charitable organizations are then described that work to provide these basic needs - Pambe Ghana, a school in Ghana that provides education, and Doctors Without Borders, an international medical organization. The American Red Cross is also summarized as providing disaster relief both in the US and globally after events like fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and more.
This document provides an agenda and information for the Oklahoma Green Schools Program Presenter event. The schedule includes registration, introductions, presentations on the Oklahoma Green Schools mission and benefits of greening schools. Track I focuses on the Oklahoma Green Teams YES program and includes activities like calculating carbon footprints and conducting investigations using tool kits. Schools will present their goals and projects. Experts will be available to answer questions. The document outlines the goals and partners of the Green Schools Committee and provides details on the three program tracks and steps schools can take to participate.
United Airlines cancelled the author's flight from Chicago to London just a day and a half before departure, citing a mechanical issue found during pre-flight checks. The author imagines a graphic fantasy of what may have led United to cancel the flight. They spent over 30 minutes on hold trying to resolve the issue with no success. United eventually provided an explanation that was even more imaginative than the author's fantasy, claiming mechanical issues were found during pre-flight checks so close to the departure time. The author advises avoiding United Airlines based on their experience.
The document discusses the design of business simulations for learning. It explores how simulations can balance realism with a focus on learning objectives. While realism is important for engagement, the author argues simulations should prioritize developing wisdom over replicating reality. Strategic design elements include simplicity, focusing on key decisions and outcomes, dynamic interactions, and ensuring the experience is appropriately challenging and engaging for learners. A case study demonstrates how these principles were applied in a simulation designed for an electrical distributor.
1) A third grade class borrowed money from their school to purchase chocolate bars to sell as a fundraiser. They ordered over 1,000 chocolate bars for a total expense of $1,242.95.
2) To break even and repay the loan, the students calculated they would need to sell each bar for $1.16. They decided to sell the bars for $2.00 each, earning $0.84 profit per bar sold.
3) The students then advertised and sold the chocolate bars. They were ready to tally the profits to donate to a cause.
The document outlines events and activities surrounding the International Day of Peace on September 21, 2011. It lists exhibits at the Oklahoma National Memorial Museum honoring peace, including a Hope Trunk exhibit and pinwheels. It also provides information on making pinwheels and links to websites about the Peace One Day documentary, Six Billion Paths to Peace project, planting trees for the environment, and the We Are The World campaign to inspire solutions for human needs, ecosystems, and culture of peace. Activities are planned involving food banks, Skype calls, peace exhibits, and a pinwheel festival to celebrate the International Day of Peace.
Jeremy Hall developed an architectonic, or systematic framework, for structuring the design of computer simulations for business training. The architectonic is based on analyzing needs and constraints, extracting core values of effective and efficient learning, and exploring design elements like the simulation model and delivery process. This translates into an architecture that standardizes 83-98% of the simulation while allowing for flexibility and customization. Using this architectonic improved development time and allowed old simulations to be re-engineered and re-launched.
1) The document discusses the history and development of fluorescent lighting.
2) It describes how Thomas Edison's incandescent light bulb led to the invention of the fluorescent light, which uses a mercury vapor gas and phosphor coating to produce light more efficiently.
3) The key components of a fluorescent light include a glass tube, electrodes, mercury vapor, phosphor coating, ballast, and starter.
Stanley Semet has been reporting from New Jersey in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. In his reports, he discusses delivering supplies to those in need, including the National Guard and a single mother who lost her home. The cleanup efforts are ongoing, with destroyed homes and infrastructure being addressed. Power has returned to most areas, though some places remain uninhabitable. Relief organizations continue to bring supplies and support recovery.

The document lists volunteer opportunities at a food bank for October Saturdays, including gardening and packing frozen vegetables, meals, and backpacks for children's programs from 9-11 am and 1-4 pm. It notes that $200 provides a child hunger-free for a year and activities like sorting food and packing bread for kids cafes.

The third graders at Casady School conducted a service-learning project where they learned about fair trade chocolate and different charities. They sold fair trade chocolate bars and got to decide which charities would receive the profits. The project involved four main components - learning about fair trade and charities, promoting the chocolate sale to the school, selling the chocolate, and selecting which charities would receive the money raised through a voting process. The goals were to increase the students' global awareness and sense of social responsibility.

In his reports, he discusses delivering supplies to the National Guard, seeing significant storm damage throughout towns along the Jersey shore, and attempting to deliver aid to a single mother in a devastated area but being unable to safely navigate the destruction. He also provides updates on cleanup efforts and the gradual return of services like power and school reopenings.
Abercrombie & Fitch Market Entry in India - Proposed PlanNeerja Bhawasinka
Abercrombie & Fitch is considering launching in India to penetrate the growing fashion market and increase sales. The plan is to open 3 stores in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore to target customers aged 15-35 earning over $100. The goal is to achieve brand awareness and profitability. Competitors like Zara, Benetton, and Levi's have established operations in India. The key will be differentiating A&F through its exclusive brand image while also considering Indians' price sensitivity.
