Journey's for Water

Jan Chipchase

What if you had no place to “go?” One billion people don’t have access to toilets, and are therefore left with no choice but to defacate outside, often without privacy. This practice spreads disease and contaminates drinking water. Explore some case studies with Rotarian volunteers and a behavioral expert, and discover what strategies are engaging communities to consider eliminating the practice of open defecation.

Running head SHOULD WATER BE PRIVATIZED .docx

toltonkendal

Running head: SHOULD WATER BE PRIVATIZED 1 Running head: SHOULD WATER BE PRIVATIZED 6 Should Water be Privatized? Should Water be Privatized? It is at the maxim of ethical human beings to utilize the resource within their vicinity, not only in .an efficient manner, but also in a sustainable way. The question of what is a sustainable way of exploiting resources is however controversial when the resource in question is not enough for the current users. Maler & Vincent (2005) defines sustainable exploitation as the use of resources by the current generation in a way that does not compromise with the future generations’ use of the same resource. [Maler & Vincent do not define sustainable exploitation] Therefore, depletion of a resource trying to save the current generation would technically be killing future generations. This raises the question on what should be privatized and what should be left for public utility. In today’s overpopulated, globally warming and highly business-oriented world, water is becoming a bone of contention. Water scarcity in the world is being evidenced by prolonged droughts and increasingly low rainfall and precipitation. Besides these natural causes, artificial causes include overuse, misuse, and inefficiency in handling water. This leaves one thinking of ways to save the highly precious resource from depletion. Business minded individuals would, therefore, propose for privatization of the world's water reservoirs. This would limit access to water to only those who can afford the property rights to it but in turn, would be ensuring sustainable exploitation. However, at the same time, it would deny humanity a right given by nature. This would lead to a chain of problems beginning with health issues, hunger to death. Therefore, water is a right for all humans and cannot become the property of any business. Foremost, water is life. This is an old-time saying, which may sound cliché to the rich but has a lot of weight when examined critically. Simple biology asserts that Water is a basic daily necessity without which no fauna nor flora can survive (Ouchley, 2010). [Ouchley did not make this statement in the book] Privatizing water to be owned by a corporation selling only to those who can afford it is therefore simply denying humanity survival. In the long run, this will be like adding a price to everything man needs for his survival. For instance, agriculture becomes more expensive, in turn inflating food prices which in turn cause a rise in the price of services such as healthcare and education. The price of clothing (from cotton) will reflect the increased price of water. Hydroelectric power companies will inflate energy prices to cater for the increased cost. The price increase effect will be felt in every aspect of humanity. According to Maler & Vincent (2005), privatization is supposed to eliminate the problem of the commons. This, in tu ...

Gian Paolo Pezzi

A Franciscan Perspective on the Right to Water. Francis’s respect for Sister Mother Earth reminds us that the right to water is certainly important, but at the same time we need to respect the Water’s rights too! This practical guide shows the importance of water, the water's rights, and the commitment of the community towards water providing reflection, statistics, and exercises. Here you can find both the Power Point and a word text to facilitate the use of both in separate way. (Jpic-jp.org).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !

KatiaHIMEUR1

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks. In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
