Great Minds of Business: Juliette Gordon (2:33)
This 2:35 long video is about Juliette Gordon, who formed the Girl Scouts of America, an organization dedicated to teaching women about the outdoors and preparing them for leadership later on in life. She was nearly deaf and this adds another dimension to showing the video.
1 Aims The aims of this section are to: help you clarify your own ideas of what mathematics is; give you experience of reading different types of written mathematics; give you an initial feel of how a mathematician views the world. You have chosen to study a course entitled ‘Mathematics everywhere’, but what exactly is mathematics? It sounds a simple enough question but, in fact, mathematics is not easy
2011 Utzon Lecture Series: Peter Singer - Building Values
Prof Peter Singer (Princeton University) discusses the way in which our decisions about the kind of built environment we choose to create, and to live in, should take into account the interests of others, whether present or future, human or nonhuman.
Australian-born philosopher Peter Singer is frequently acknowledged as a major force in modern bioethics. Peter has taught at the University of Oxford, La Trobe University and Monash University, as well as holding several visiting appointments. He
Sheryl Sandberg

1.1 Introduction To cover some of the concept of attention (we have only a unit, and there are whole books on the subject) I shall follow an approximately historical sequence, showing how generations of psychologists have tackled the issues and gradually refined and developed their theories. You will discover that initially there seemed to them to be only one role for attention, but that gradually it has been implicated in an ever-widening range of mental processes. As we work through the subject, two basic i
6.2.3 Measurement of the angular distribution of the 3 K radiation How are such angular distributions to be measured? One way, of course, is to take a radio telescope and swing it round the sky, taking readings in different directions. But as is clear from Figure 20(a), the atmosphere itself emits microwaves. There is therefore a grave danger, with this method, of picking up different contributions of atmospheric emissi
5.5 5.5 Summary The idea that regions are replacing nation states and that the future of Europe lies in a loose, decentralised federation of regions is a misinterpretation of recent and current developments. This ‘small is beautiful’ ideology of a ‘Europe of the Regions’ can be rejected on empirical and normative grounds: it is still largely the existing member states which control EU integration and define the regions; the strongest regional threa

Bjorn Lomborg, "Prioritizing the World: How to spend $75 billion to do the Most Good"
Dr. Bjorn Lomborg is an academic and the author of the best-selling "The Skeptical Environmentalist" and "Cool It". He challenges mainstream concerns about the environment and points out that we need to focus attention on the smartest solutions first. He is an adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School, and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, which brings together many of the world's top economists, including seven Nobel Laureates, to set priorities for the world.
2.3 Position-time graphs Tables do not give a very striking impression of how one thing varies with respect to another. A visual form of presentation, such as a graph, is usually much more effective. This is evident from Figure 7, which shows the graph obtained by plotting the data in Table 2 and then drawing a smooth curve through the resulting points. 2.3.2 Fast breeder reactors If fast neutrons produced in the chain reactions are not moderated or absorbed, the rate of conversion of uranium-238 into plutonium-239 (Equation 3) can exceed the fission rate of plutonium-239. Reactors that use fast neutrons in this way are called fast breeder reactors. Their main fuel is 3.2 Uranium occurrence and ore deposits In igneous rocks, uranium is more abundant in granites (~3.5 ppm) than in basalts (~1 ppm). The large size of the uranium atom prevents it from easily entering the structures of common rock-forming minerals, so it is an incompatible element that tends to remain in magmas until a late stage of crystallisation, when it enters minor minerals, or even the uranium oxide, uraninite (UO2). In suitable circumstances, following fractional crystallisation of uranium-rich granitic magm Effects of agricultural activities on insect species richness in the intensively cultivated landscap 2.3.1 Patients and therapeutic responsibility Based on your own experience, and using the evidence you have read about and heard, answer the following questions. 8.6Léxico básico

As signatory of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), China supports the 2010 Biodiversity Target to achieve a significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversity loss by the year 2010. This very ambitious goal must be seen against the background of a huge knowledge gap prevailing particularly with regard to patterns of insect diversity in space and time.
Our collaborative research is trying to be instrumental in addressing the aforementioned knowledge gap by investigating how dif
