The Roman Empire. Or Republic. Or...Which Was It?: Crash Course World History #10
John Green explores exactly when Rome went from being the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. Here's a hint: it had something to do with Julius Caesar, but maybe less than you think. Find out how Caesar came to rule the empire, what led to him getting stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate, and what happened in the scramble for power after his assassination. John covers Rome's transition from city-state to dominant force in the Mediterranean in less than 12 minutes. The senate, the people,

How to Use Inverse Operations to Isolate a Variable
In this video, the presenter explains how to isolate a variable by adding the inverse of a number. She explains that you must add the opposite of a number (e.g. -1+1) to get a zero. (01:52)

About St. Petersburg College:
In 1927, St. Petersburg College (then known as St. Petersburg Junior College) became Florida's first private, non-profit, two-year school of higher learning located in downtown St. Petersburg. Full accreditation followed in 1931 and in 1948 SPC became a public college.
In June 2001, SPJC officially became St. Petersburg College when Florida's governor signed legislation making it t
Bank of Japan at a turning point?
Nov. 30 - Big changes are expected at Japan's central bank next year--which given its questionable track record isn't a bad thing, says Bank of Singapore chief economist Richard Jerram. Tara Joseph reports.
Water use and the water cycle
Water is arguably the most important physical resource as it is the one that is essential to human survival. Understanding the global water cycle and how we use water is essential to planning a sustainable source of water for the future. First published on Tue, 03 Jan 2012 as Author(s):
Earth's physical resources: petroleum
The discovery of of the world's first major underground oilfield in Pennsylvania, USA in 1859 sparked the continuing era of the world's reliance on cheap energy from oil and gas. This unit begins by examining the geological characteristics of petroleum and the key ingredients necessary to form oil and gas accumulations. Then there is a brief description of industrial operations during the life cycle of an oilfield, starting with subsurface analysis and exploration drilling. The unit also highlig
Energy resources: An introduction to energy resources
Energy resources are essential for any society, be it one dependent on subsistence farming or an industrialised country. There are many different sources of energy, some well-known such as coal or petroleum, others less so, such as tides or the heat inside the Earth. Is nuclear power a salvation or a nightmare? This unit provides background information to each resource, so that you can assess them for yourself.Author(s):
8.4 When surgery is required For some cardiovascular disease patients, surgery may be carried out as an emergency procedure or become an inevitable progression, following on from drug therapy. There are various degrees of surgery carried out, ranging from the fairly routine and minorly invasive procedure of coronary angioplasty to the major life-saving heart (or heart and lung) transplant. While it is important to understand all of the detail of surgical procedures and how the cardiac surgical team work together, it is a
Introduction This unit is devoted to the real numbers and their properties. In particular, we discuss inequalities, which play a crucial role in analysis.

8.2.4 Accuracy The calculator does not make mistakes in the way that human brains tend to. Human fingers do, however, make mistakes sometimes; and the calculator may not be doing what you think you have told it to do. So correcting errors and estimating the approximate size of answers are important skills in double-checking your calculator calculations. (Just as they are for checking calculations done in your head or on paper!)
5.5 Comparing price rises While reading a newspaper article, I noticed some examples of how prices changed in the 10 years from 1984 to 1994. The table below shows the typical prices that you would have expected to pay in 1984 and in 1994 for a pint of milk and a Ford Fiesta motor car. Using your calculator Many people see calculators only as a way of producing answers—indeed some people see them almost as a means of cheating, of short-cutting procedures that can and should be carried out in one's head or on paper. However, the calculator can also be a means of learning mathematics more effectively, something you will come to appreciate more. Many previous mathematics students have found that their graphics calculator, used with understanding and intelligence, has become a most effective aid t Acknowledgements All materials included in this unit are derived from content originated at the Open University. 7.1 Questions Question 1 What are the four dimensions of globalisation outlined in Section 4?

All of them have played a part in this book's journey through the scientific, political, philosophical and social implications of climate change. Governance of climate change is about: decision making under uncertainty; understanding and representing vulnerability even when vulnerabilities are difficult to assess or unknowable; and making every aspect of human Introduction Human societies have to take urgent action to end their dependence on fossil fuels. They also have to prepare to adapt to the uncertainties inherent in global environmental changes, particularly climatic ones. We have to alter the whole path of our development and decision making in order to make our societies both environmentally adaptable and sustainable. This unit takes on the task of trying to chart some of the ways in which this might come about. The context for these changes by g 3.1 Greenland's snowfall Greenland snowfall differs depending on whether it falls in summer (when snow is comparatively warm and moist) or winter (when snow is cold and dry). These differences mean that as the snow is turned to ice, annual layers are formed that are in many ways similar to tree rings: thick annual layers mean high snowfall and thin annual layers low snowfall. The accumulation of snowfall on the summit of Greenland – and most importantly what is trapped within the crystals as it turns to ice – can
