Bridging Physical and Digital Preservation
Collections at the Library of Congress consist not only of material objects but also of digital files. In some cases, material objects are scanned, which creates a digital copy.
The Waldseemuller Map is not only preserved in a special case to slow its aging, it has been scanned and its digital copy is online for anyone to access and explore. The Library has also created advanced multispectral images that are crucial for fully understanding the physical map and for monitoring its conservation.

The unit begins with an introduction to the scope of macroevolutionary studies and illustrates methods of reconstructing phylogeny, from both morphological and molecular data.
Economics Scarcity and Opportunity Cost
This is a two minute video that explains what opportunity cost is and what it means. Very good explanation, but the sound is a bit weak.

2.3.3 Evaluating your strategy and presenting outcomes This stage is about evaluating your strategy – what you've achieved and judging how well you achieved it-and presenting your work.

Evaluation is about considering how successful were the methods
2.3.2 Monitoring progress As the focus moves from preparation to action it is important to keep a check on what you are doing and how well you are doing it. Use your plan to help you review your progress, noting your successes and achievements as well as whether you met your deadlines and targets.

Niger: Feeding the Hungry
Food distribution is one part of NGO strategy to help Nigeriens through crisis times like the 2010 food shortage. As the approach to development changes and development workers look for strategies to reduce native dependency on foreign work, food distributions are changing as well.

Medical Treatment for Niger's Malnourished
Niger's 15.8 million people are served by a sparse collection of medical staff—about one doctor for every 30,000 people. Some doctors and nurses are Nigerien, trained to help their own; some are from surrounding African countries, and some come from the United States to work with the under-served. From small clinics like the World Vision clinic near Dakoro in eastern Niger to larger hospitals like Galmi, the ill effects of malnutrition color healthcare routines and treatments.
