The document discusses the Desertec concept of generating solar power in deserts and transmitting it to Europe and other parts of the world using high voltage direct current transmission lines. Key points include that concentrating solar power plants could provide abundant, clean electricity from deserts; an HVDC supergrid would allow efficient transmission of this solar power over long distances; and the Desertec Industrial Initiative aims to build solar plants and develop this transmission grid.
The document discusses the logos of several brands and their meanings. It notes that the three stripes on the Adidas logo represent mountains and goals that can be achieved. Some think the Monster logo symbolizes 666 in Hebrew, while others see it as a simple M. The Jordan logo fits the brand by symbolizing what the company is about. The Mercedes-Benz logo is said to represent land, air and water, and fits the brand because it is elegant.
The document summarizes the EU's 2020 strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and increasing renewable energy use. The strategy sets targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 20% below 1990 levels, reducing energy consumption 20% through increased efficiency, and meeting 20% of energy needs through renewable sources. It outlines measures citizens and member states can take to meet these targets, such as using renewable fuels, reducing emissions at home, and promoting renewable energy development.
Mary Kay Ash started her own cosmetics company in 1963 after struggling through multiple marriages and raising children as a single mother. She took care of her sick father as a child and had to quit school to work. Although she was a straight-A student, her parents could not afford college. After her first divorce, she remarried twice more but was widowed when her second husband died. By rewarding her top performing salespeople with lavish gifts like cars and vacations, her cosmetics business was hugely successful. By the time she retired in 1987, Mary Kay Ash had built a multi-million dollar company and become a role model for women worldwide.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo elaborar um Projeto de Investimento em um negócio, onde será analisada a viabilidade econômica por meio dos critérios estudados na disciplina (TIR, VPL e Payback), apontando os aspectos favoráveis, os aspectos que precisam de melhoria e as sugestões de aperfeiçoamento das práticas. Em nosso trabalho estaremos elaborando a analise de investimento em uma lanchonete. Para tanto realizamos pesquisas de mercado para o projeto entre outras relacionadas a analise de viabilidade do mesmo.
The document describes several fashion trends for Spring 2011 including:
1) "Fur's New Frontier" which features try-not-to-touch-me sexy styles incorporating shag, hendrix, and bohemian winks.
2) "Lady Like" styles inspired by 1950s/1960s silhouettes with full skirts, cinched waists, built in support, wide legs, and halter tops.
3) "Jet Setter" theme drawing inspiration from exotic beach vacations using warm colors, pastel tones, light feminine fabrics, and romantic details.

1) O documento descreve os modelos matemáticos para reatores contínuos em série e/ou paralelo para reações de primeira e segunda ordem. 2) Reatores em série fornecem a mesma conversão que um único reator de volume total igual à soma dos volumes individuais. 3) A eficiência máxima de reatores em paralelo exige que o tempo de residência seja igual em todos os reatores.
How to build a reliable checkout experiencePedro Teixeira
This document discusses building reliable checkout experiences for e-commerce apps using Node.js, PouchDB, and replicated transaction documents. It recommends using a single database per customer with one document per transaction, replicating transaction documents bidirectionally for offline tolerance. The clerk would react to transaction state changes and inject state changes from backend events. Code examples are provided for the UI using PouchDB-Redux-Middleware, backend using PouchClerk, and clerk for state transitions and asynchronous updaters.
This document discusses using replicated transaction documents and a clerk to improve the transaction experience for customers compared to traditional HTTP APIs. It notes issues with HTTP APIs like failures causing incomplete transactions. The proposed solution uses a single document to store all transaction data, replicated between client and server. A clerk handles state transitions and backend actions in response to changes. An open-source Node.js package called Pouch-Clerk is presented for implementing the clerk functionality with CouchDB or PouchDB storage. The approach aims to simplify transaction handling for developers compared to managing errors and state with HTTP APIs.
How to build a reliable checkout experiencePedro Teixeira
The checkout experience is usually the one part of the application that delivers the most value, but unfortunately, it's the one that usually contains the most friction. We've all been victims of this: a checkout experience that has spinner that spins indefinitely, or one that warns you to not move a muscle while the next page is loading, or even one that makes a double reservation.
Now that you have your shiny new micro-services architecture running and you're able to deploy new features and fixes several times a day, how do you deliver complex transactions to your customers? How do you deliver payments, trip reservations or purchasing an entire shopping cart with a good user experience?
HTTP has taken us far, but it's probably not the best transport to deliver complex transactions like these, specially when these transactions are performed over flaky mobile networks. A lot of error-handling logic must fall on the client: How does the client react to timeouts? Or gateway problems? Can it assume the transaction failed with no fear of duplication? Can the transaction survive client crashes? Can the client solve all these existing edge cases without making it overly complex and bug-prone?
This talk proposes an original architecture style that will sit in front of your micro-service stack and that you can attach to any existing service back-end. The author will show an implementation of this architecture pattern: a proof-of-concept application and a set of client and server open-source libraries built on top of PouchDB, and Node.js.
Northgate Minerals Corporation presented information on forward-looking statements and mineral resource reporting standards. The document discusses the inherent uncertainties in forward-looking financial or operational projections and cautions readers not to place undue reliance on such statements. It also notes differences between Canadian and U.S. standards for reporting mineral resources.
This document classifies and describes different types of roads in India. It discusses 5 main categories of roads: 1) Expressways, which connect major cities and have the highest design speed and at least 4 lanes. 2) National Highways, which run throughout the country and connect state capitals and major towns. 3) State Highways, which connect important towns and cities within each state. 4) District Roads, which connect districts and rural areas to other roads. 5) Village Roads, which connect villages to each other and nearby towns. The document provides details on the purpose, lanes, surface type, and maintenance responsibility for each road type.
