The United States government makes important foreign policy decisions that impact other countries. These decisions are complex with many factors to consider. Congress and the President work together to determine policies that balance national security, economic and humanitarian concerns both domestically and abroad.
Das Berufsfeld Kommunikationsmanagement und Public Relations hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten dynamisch entwickelt. Das hat zu einer intensiven Diskussion über neue Aufgaben, innovative Rollenmodelle und veränderte Kompetenzprofile geführt. Doch es ist wenig über die Talente bekannt, die erst seit wenigen Jahren im Berufsfeld tätig sind. Dabei sind sie es, die der Wandel in der Branche am stärksten betrifft. Sie sind es auch, die sich von bisherigen Erfolgsmustern lösen und auf neue Arbeitsweisen, Rollenerwartungen und Führungsmodelle einstellen müssen.
Viele von ihnen werden als „Macher von Morgen“ die Zukunft der Profession gestalten. Die Forschung zeigt allerdings, dass sie vergleichsweise oft mit mangelnden Entwicklungschancen, hoher Aufgabenlast, Konflikten zwischen Beruf und Familie sowie Problemen mit Kollegen und Vorgesetzten konfrontiert sind. Dabei blieben viele Fragen offen.
Die vorliegende Studie bringt Licht in diese Zusammenhänge. Sie ist als Kooperationsprojekt der Universität Leipzig mit der Initiative #30u30 und dem Branchenmagazin PR Report entstanden.
Until recently, most low carbon retrofits have been carried out by experts and enthusiasts on their own houses. However, retrofit needs to move rapidly into the mass market if we are to meet our carbon reduction targets. What if occupants are not experts? Is "usability" dependent on context, user goals, and the user's ability to achieve these with "effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction" a useful framework for assessing the success of low carbon retrofit? Do the goals of users match those of designers? What evidence is there of good and poor usability in low carbon retrofit?
Residents’ primary motivations for involvement were reduced fuel bills and improved comfort, rather than green issues. Initial monitoring has revealed the importance of usability and personal control in achieving these aims for the residents. In this they are likely to be closer to the typical mass-market customer than the early pioneers.
Marianne Heasleip from URBED presented initial findings from a set of linked case studies of completed low carbon whole house retrofits in the social housing sector the UK. Her findings point to the importance of matters such as the specification of controls, the quality of handover information, the importance of communication whilst the works are in progress and the need for ongoing customer care. This is likely to have management and cost implications in any mass market retrofit scheme. She suggests that usability should indeed be a significant concern for designers, of both whole houses and individual products, at strategic and tactical levels.

A lunch lecture was given at Differ (www.differ.nl) about another method of sequestering CO2. Olivine is one of the minerals that can be used for the application. It details three routes for CO2 sequestration. A focus is given on the development of a process intensification. This would increase the geological reaction rate to process engineering time scale.
The proposed process has got a parallel in the "VerTech process" as established in the 1990's in Apeldoorn (the Netherlands).
The lecture was from global scale (focussing on amounts of CO2 involved) down to atomic scale.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.
