This document outlines a school project assigning students to groups to create a word document on the topic of human impact on the environment. The word document must include a cover, index, and sections explaining: the effects of human activities on the environment by modifying the natural environment, causing pollution, and through urbanization; global and individual measures for environmental and sustainable development; and environmental problems in Spain and protected areas. Students are assigned to groups with delivery dates of November 24th or 25th 2016 and given responsibilities for specific sections.
The world’s population is growing, with increasing proportions locating to dense urban environments. This presentation compares population density and economies of the world’s largest cities with their exposure to natural disasters. We assess the relationship between vulnerability and urbanization, and make recommendations for strategic partnerships for greater investment in pre-disaster preventive measures as opposed to post-disaster recovery.

Unit Lesson
On May 24, 2010, rescue workers donned impermeable hazardous material suits and then burrowed into the
creaking, dangerous confines of a ruined South Side Chicago home, searching for the elderly couple trapped
inside. More than an hour later, as curious neighbors gathered and a television news crew arrived to film the
emergency rescue operations, Jesse Gaston, a 76-year-old chemist and his wife Thelma, a retired school
teacher, walked unsteadily into the hazy afternoon light, dehydrated and hungry but still among the living. The
Gastons had been trapped by trash—their own trash (Humes, 2012).
History of Waste Management
Will the human race suffer the fate of the Gastons? By throwing away 102 tons of trash each in a lifetime, we
are certainly putting ourselves on that path (Humes, 2012).
Although piles of trash, landfills, and hazardous waste barrels are all modern images, waste has been with us
from the beginning. As early as 3000 BC, there were landfill sites outside the Minoan palace of Knossos in
Crete (Girling, 2005). With industrialization came population growth and consumer culture, and the amount of
garbage we produced increased dramatically.

UNIT x STUDY GUIDE
Title
Shulman (2011) defines three broad periods that are historically important to waste management: the post-
war period (1945-1970); globalization, scientific, and environmental awareness (1970-1990); and
implementation and progress (1990-present). During each of these periods, organizations that are important
to today’s global waste management issues were formed. For example, the Organization for Economic
Cooperation & Development (OECD) was formed during the post-war period. Its mission is to “promote
policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world” (OECD, n.d). The
OECD promotes sustainable use of materials, waste prevention, and sound management of waste. ...

Big Data Day LA 2016/ Use Case Driven track - The Encyclopedia of World Probl...Data Con LA
Born more than four decades ago from the partnership of two international NGOs in Brussels, the Encyclopedia of World Problems has hand-picked and refined profiles of tens of thousands of problems occurring around the world: from notorious global issues all the way down to very specific and peculiar ones. This talk presents an overview of the Encyclopedia and the interesting data science applications that have arisen from the Encyclopedia's body of work - notably, its database resources.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
