The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of climate change on wheat production. Researchers found that higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns will significantly reduce wheat yields across major wheat-producing regions by 2050. The study concludes that efforts must be made to develop wheat varieties that can tolerate hotter and drier conditions to ensure future global food security as the climate continues to warm.
In this presentation I talk about why open addresses are a public good, and the mechanisms that we're using within Open Addresses to navigate the legal and technical challenges of building an open address list for the UK.

e-learning Reality Check: Keynote Durham University 2009andyramsden
- The document explores whether e-learning has lived up to early promises by examining usage patterns of virtual learning environments (VLEs) and technologies used in teaching at universities.
- A survey found that VLE usage varied significantly between departments, with most using it as a supplemental "content and support" system rather than integrating it fully into teaching.
- Lecturers were more likely to provide materials after rather than before lectures. Common technologies used included PowerPoint, video/animation, and accessing websites.
- Barriers to more extensive e-learning adoption included perceptions of effectiveness for tasks, ease of use of technologies, individual engagement levels, and environmental/institutional factors.

The document discusses the technologies learned from constructing a magazine product. It describes learning Photoshop skills like shapes, text, and cropping for the preliminary magazine. Research used Google to find magazine information and PowerPoint to create a mood board. Planning involved using a phone and Instagram to contact models. Photos were taken on a phone and edited in Photoshop. Additional Photoshop skills like healing and erasing tools improved the magazine's quality. Fonts were added using DaFont, improving professionalism. The evaluation discusses using new programs like Prezi, PowerPoint and Bubbl to present findings, showing the ability to learn new technologies.
