The document discusses various amounts of money and assets that could theoretically be owned, if one were to own all of the gold, money in banks, stock shares of public companies, government debt, or global oil reserves. It notes that global oil reserves would have the highest total value at $132 trillion. The document argues that petroleum currently has a monopoly on the global economy due to its role in transportation fuels. It advocates breaking this monopoly by opening the fuel market to more competition through various policy changes.
The document discusses a project called Weather for Schools that aims to involve students in scientific weather monitoring projects. The project provides weather sensor kits for schools to collect local weather data and upload it to a central portal. Students and teachers can access all of the weather data collected and use it for further analysis. The goal is to help teach subjects like computer science, geography, mathematics and physics while having students engage in real-world data collection and analysis. Over 150 schools and 6000 students have participated since the project started in 2006.

This document discusses the potential for increased methanol production and use as a transportation fuel in the United States. Key points include:
1) Increased natural gas production could enable production of up to 17 billion gallons of methanol annually for under $1.50 per gallon.
2) With some infrastructure changes like fueling stations and updated vehicle systems, methanol could replace up to 12% of US oil imports and 10 billion gallons of gasoline usage.
3) Methanol has the potential to reduce fuel costs and tailpipe emissions compared to gasoline.
This document discusses establishing a business case for an edutainment program through ROI analysis. It emphasizes that ROI is a business metric, not just a measure of digital metrics like impressions. It outlines a 7-step process to prove the program's impact: 1) establish a baseline, 2) create timelines, 3) analyze revenue and transactions, 4) measure precursors, 5) overlay all data, 6) identify patterns, and 7) prove relationships to isolate the program's effects. Following this process revealed the program increased various business metrics except for attracting new staff, an area needing improvement. With proven impact, the program earned continued funding.
The document discusses seven ways to avoid illness:
1) Speak your emotions and feelings to a confidant to avoid repressing them and developing illnesses like cancer.
2) Make decisions to avoid anxiety, anguish, and problems that can lead to gastric issues and skin problems.
3) Find solutions rather than lamenting or being pessimistic, as negative thinking can generate illness.
4) Don't live by appearances and pretend to be perfect, as this can accumulate stress and lead to health issues.
5) Accept yourself and others' criticisms to avoid becoming envious, jealous, or destructive.
6) Trust and communicate with others to form deep relationships rather than being distrustful of yourself and
The document discusses various amounts of money that could be owned if one were to own different global financial assets. It begins by mentioning $7 trillion in world gold reserves, then $14 trillion in all bank deposits, $58 trillion in global stock market capitalization, $102 trillion in world government debt, and $132 trillion in estimated world oil reserves. It notes that owning the world's oil reserves would be worth more than any other single financial asset. The document argues this gives oil a monopoly on the global economy and allows prices to be set very high. It advocates breaking this monopoly by opening up the fuel market to more competition through various policy changes.
The document discusses the present perfect continuous tense, which focuses on the duration or ongoing nature of an action that began in the past and may continue in the present or future. It can refer to an action that is unfinished, a series of actions, or an action that is finished but the results are still visible. Common time expressions used with the present perfect continuous include "since," "for," and "over the last."
This document is a student's air pollution project identifying sources of pollution throughout the day and providing alternatives. It discusses pollution from showering without chlorine filters, using air conditioning unnecessarily, aerosol deodorants, Styrofoam cups, driving to school, plastic grocery bags, grilling with charcoal, coal power plants, and mothballs. The student provides more environmentally-friendly alternatives to each activity to reduce their contributions to air pollution.
