The IPCC addresses a New Scientist article regarding author selection for its reports, emphasizing its commitment to geographic and expert representation without imposing quotas. Recent amendments to the election rules for the IPCC bureau ensure enhanced representation of the Southwest Pacific while maintaining diverse regional representation. The IPCC also acknowledges the importance of non-peer-reviewed literature in its assessments, reaffirming the necessity for author teams to critically evaluate such sources.
The exhibit discussed the history of Cannon County, Tennessee during the Civil War through multiple artists' works and artifacts. The portion designed discussed the strategies used, relationships between soldiers and civilians, and effects of battles on county residents. The design engaged audiences and clearly presented information on bright orange walls in a modern, renovated space with low budgets. Background imagery in the panels reflected panoramic photos of the county layered with fabric to connect the past stories to the current landscape. There were a total of 17 large panels in the exhibit.
This document discusses conceptual design and how it can be used to transform perceptions and increase awareness and understanding. It argues that prior experiences shape how people interpret new information. To understand conceptual design, people must move past their own influences and reflect on the systems they use to make sense of unfamiliar information. Conceptual design intentionally controls an artistically executed concept where form and function work interchangeably to achieve a contextual purpose and resolution. Transforming past perceptions allows one to understand the message being communicated.
The document summarizes the components of the Crossroad Review process for evaluating business opportunities. The process examines a company's competitive advantages, benchmarks success, evaluates the impact on resources, establishes expected results, identifies focus areas, and plans escape routes. It provides a structured approach to collecting information, analyzing opportunities, and delivering a plan of actionable steps to guide business strategy.
The student was assessed on coin identification skills including identifying coins by name and value, counting coins of different denominations to determine total amounts, listing combinations of coins that equal given amounts like 40 cents, and choosing an adequate purchase amount given hypothetical cash provided. The performance rubric outlines specific criteria and points possible for each coin-related task.
The document outlines the process undertaken by the Norwegian Cancer Society and Netlife Research to redesign their website to better serve users' needs and improve navigation. Key goals included increasing cancer survival rates and enhancing online services, which were supported through a collaborative research approach focused on user tasks and content prioritization. The redesign resulted in significant increases in donations and membership, demonstrating the effectiveness of their new content strategy and governance model.
President Obama addresses climate change as a critical economic, security, and environmental issue requiring decisive action, aiming to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020. He proposes doubling renewable energy generation and energy productivity, improving community resilience to extreme weather impacts, and fostering international cooperation to tackle the global climate crisis. The document outlines significant progress made during the first term and plans for further action to enhance energy efficiency and promote sustainable energy solutions.
The Nature Conservancy highlights significant victories in state and local conservation initiatives, with an 85% success rate in recent ballot measures across nine states, generating over $692 million for conservation efforts. Key measures included Alabamas Forever Wild program and clean water projects in Rhode Island, among others, showcasing strong voter support for environmental funding. These efforts illustrate the growing recognition among voters of the importance of land and water conservation for health and quality of life.

The document discusses the differences between traditional pen and paper students and digital students. A digital student relies on digital tools and online resources for learning, which provides benefits like searchability, ease of sharing and reusing information, and easier collaboration. However, digital learning also brings distractions and a risk of getting lost in minor tasks rather than focusing on the real work of learning. The document argues that the true job of students and other professionals is not just completing minor formatting tasks, but achieving higher goals like getting an education, helping patients, or fixing problems. Digital tools should enhance people's natural ways of thinking rather than forcing people to think in a way that fits computer logic.
In a speech at the 'Energy for Tomorrow' conference, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak emphasized the critical role of fast-developing nations in addressing climate change while demonstrating that economic growth and sustainability can go hand in hand. Highlighting Malaysia's initiatives like promoting clean vehicles and investing in green technology, he called for collaborative efforts among governments, businesses, and communities for effective climate action. As Malaysia prepares for its ASEAN chairmanship, he expressed optimism about participating in the Paris climate negotiations with a focus on sustainable growth.

The document is a court case heard by the United States Court of Appeals concerning petitions for review of final actions taken by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The case involves multiple petitioners, including the Coalition for Responsible Regulation, who challenge EPA findings regarding environmental regulations, with various states and interest groups intervening. Arguments were presented by a substantial number of attorneys representing different governmental and non-governmental entities on both sides of the issue.
The process of preparing the report "Fact-Based Regulation for Environmental Protection in Shale Gas Development" fell short of standards for scientific work in several ways:
1) The Principal Investigator failed to disclose a conflict of interest that could impact the report's credibility.
2) The University's conflict of interest policy was poorly crafted and enforced.
3) The report summary, press release, and presentations did not accurately reflect the nuanced caveats in the white papers.
While no intentional misrepresentation was found, the oversight and poor judgment regarding conflicts of interest undermined the credibility of the report and the University's research in this important area.
The 22nd annual 'State of the Climate' report evaluates global climate change, tracking 43 indicators with contributions from 378 authors across 48 countries. It highlights that while 2011 had cooler global surface temperatures due to La Ni単a, climate change continues to lead to extreme weather events and ongoing warming trends, particularly in the Arctic. Key findings include record high levels of CO2, significant melting of the Greenland ice sheet, and alterations in the likelihood of extreme weather events influenced by human-induced climate change.
1) The document discusses constraining estimates of climate sensitivity, which is the change in global temperature from a doubling of CO2, using both bottom-up modeling and observational approaches.
2) A simple energy balance climate model is presented and forced using detailed radiative forcing calculations from an emissions-based chemistry transport model.
3) Observations of surface temperature and ocean heat content are used in a statistical model employing Bayesian inference to provide posterior estimates of climate sensitivity and other parameters.
This document summarizes a student's research project investigating whether tests are the best way to determine if someone has improved in a subject. The student conducted a survey of 8 people ages 10-12, with 4 of each gender. Most respondents said tests were not the best measure, as mood and nerves can impact test performance. The student concludes that tests may not be necessary and alternatives should be considered.
