Crude oil varies greatly in appearance depending on its composition. It is usually black or dark brown (although it may be yellowish, reddish, or even greenish). In the reservoir it is usually found in association with natural gas, which being lighter forms a gas cap over the petroleum, and saline water which, being heavier than most forms of crude oil, generally sinks beneath it. Crude oil may also be found in semi-solid form mixed with sand and water, as in the Athabasca oil sands in Canada, where it is usually referred to as crude bitumen. In Canada, bitumen is considered a sticky, black, tar-like form of crude oil which is so thick and heavy that it must be heated or diluted before it will flow. Venezuela also has large amounts of oil in the Orinoco oil sands, although the hydrocarbons trapped in them are more fluid than in Canada and are usually called extra heavy oil. These oil sands resources are called unconventional oil to distinguish them

CANADA REVISION QUESTIONS 2010 1. The main physiographic regions of Canada. Canada may be divided into seven physiographic regions: Arctic Lowlands, Cordilleran Region, Interior Plains, Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canadian Shield (Forest Lands), St Lawrence Lowlands and Appalachian Region. Divisions are based on each area's relatively similar physical geography and landforms. Physiographic regionalization is defined here as the process by which regions with relatively homogeneous physical geography are determined 2. Who are the native people of Canada? Into which three groups can they be divided?
Topic Canada Tallinn English College 2006 1. Introduction If you had to use two words to describe Canada, they might be large and diverse. Canada is the second largest country in the world with a territory of about 10 million square kilometers and it is bordered by three oceans: the Arctic, the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. The population of Canada is about 31 million people. About 77% of the people live in cities which lie in a band about 100 miles wide above the border of the United States. The capital of Canada is Ottawa. Other large cities are Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Quebec. 2. Geographical position Canada is a huge country in the continent of North America. It is bordered with the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west, the United States of America in the south

When there are many buildings close together, like on a college campus or in a big city, it is sometimes more efficient to have a central heating and cooling plant that distributes steam, hot water, or chilled water to all of the different buildings. A district system can reduce equipment and maintenance costs, as well as save energy. 9 Picture 2.6. Types of energy used in commercial buildings Retail and service buildings use the most total energy of all the commercial building types. This isn't too surprising when you think of all the stores and service businesses in most towns. Offices use a large share of energy, too. Education buildings, like your school, use 13 percent of all total energy, which is even more than all hospitals and other medical buildings combined! Lodging buildings (like hotels or dormitories) use 8 percent of all energy
review the main points of the report. HISTORY The firm Nokia we know today has greatly changed comparing to the time it first started under the name of Nokia. Nokia was established in 1865 as a pulp mill by Knut Fredrik Idestam in the town of Tampere, in south-western Finland. In the beginning of 20th Finnish Rubber Works acquired Nokia Wood Mills and Finnish Cable Works and all these three companies were merged into the Nokia Corporation. This corporation involved in many sectors, producing at one time or another paper products, bicycle and car tires, footwear, personal computers, communications cables, televisions, aluminium, etc. The seeds of the current incarnation of Nokia were planted with the founding of the electronics section in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Nokia became more involved in the telecommunications industry. In 1981 Nokia invented the Nordic Mobile Telephony

awareness of the plight of the Ogoni people and their leader Ken Saro-Wiwa, persecuted for protesting against Shell and the Nigerian dictatorship over exploitation in their homeland. The Body Shop At HomeTM, the direct-selling arm, was launched in the UK in 1994, Canada in 1995, Australia in 1997, and USA in 2001. It has now rolled out in 48 states in the USA and is set to grow even bigger. The Body Shop continues to increase its environmental practices. In 2001, The Body Shop UK region and service centre head offices in Watersmead switched to Ecotricity providing them with energy from renewable sources. In addition, a number of The Body Shop® stores have now converted to green electricity while the rest of the stores are set to follow suit. Campaign successes include the Against Animal Testing campaign. The campaign led to a UK-wide ban on animal testing on cosmetic products and ingredients in November 1998 and led to the largest ever petition (four million signatures) being
of clean energy. India and China have both invested extensively in creative biogas technology to provide fuel for their citizens and there are a number of interesting applications for this gas which appeal to people who are interested in sustainable energy and the health of the environment. The basis for biogas is organic material such as food scraps and feces which are held in an anaerobic area, which can range from a storage tank which is not ventilated to a device which is specifically designed to produce gases. The conditions attract anaerobic bacteria, which start to break down the organic material, producing methane and carbon dioxide as a by-product. Another type of biogas which includes hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide can be obtained through the gasification of biomass such as wood or rice husks, a technique which is used to manufacture gas industrially. The gases produced through anaerobic fermentation or gasification are
INTRODUCTION OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM) A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers. Supply chains exist in both service and manufacturing organizations, although the complexity of the chain may vary greatly from industry to industry and firm to firm. Supply chain management is typically viewed to lie between fully vertically integrated firms, where the entire material flow is owned by a single firm and those where each channel member operates independently. Therefore coordination between the various players in the chain is key in its effective management
accompanied with a data exchange diagram to illustrate how collaboration can affect the project deadline. From this analysis, it was discovered that one of the reasons why there has been an increase in the design and construction of buildings with highly complicated geometry is the advent of 3D and BIM tools. The main themes that emerged were: • 3D and BIM increase collaboration between different project participants; • A reduction in construction time is evident only when the building models are openly shared; • Intelligent models help to find clashes and reduce re-work; • Models increase accuracy during fabrication and construction; • Shop-drawing review is sped up; • Steel design takes place in a more concurrent fashion; • 3D illustrations help to explain erection sequencing; • Building models provide rigging information for erection crews. The results of this thesis illustrate the benefit that 3D and BIM offer for complex steel
To generate additional sales, BK will occasionally introduce limited time offers (LTOs) that are versions of its core products or new products intended for either long or short term sales. Items such as the Texas Double Whopper and various sandwiches made with mushrooms and Swiss cheese have been rotated in and out of its menu for several years while products such as its 1993 offering, a Meatloaf Specialty Sandwich and limited table service along with special dinner platters, failed to generate interest and were discontinued. In order to appeal to as many demographic groups as possible and better compete with its QSR competitor Wendy's, Burger King added a multi-tiered value menu in 1993 with items priced at 99¢, $1.99 and $2.99 (USD). The project called, Operation Phoenix, was an attempt to add not only a value menu but a line of value meals. The tiered menu was replaced with a

For example, several countries have a space program under the command of the government, such as NASA in the United States, ESA in Europe, the Canadian Space Agency in Canada, Indian Space Research Organisation in India, RKA in Russia, China National Space Administration in China, and Iranian Space Agency in Iran. Along with these public space programs, many companies produce technical tools and components such as spaceships and satellites. Some known companies involved in space programs include Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, EADS, and Boeing. These companies are also involved in other areas of aerospace such as the construction of aircraft

the evolution of The Internet of Things that will lead to the so-called Connected Life. The future of mobile connectivity goes beyond tablets and cars, allowing to connect virtually everything. It is assumed that there will be a significant rise of connected devices throughout the world, allowing the growth of new services, transforming the way people work and live. The lack of human interaction will probably cause the emergence of new business models and promote the delivery of services across diverse socio-economic sectors. A research by Machina Research predicts that the Internet of Things is likely to boost the economy by an enormous amount up to US$ 4.5 trillion yearly. The needs of variable industries are already met by the use of Machine to Machine (M2M) solutions using wireless networks. Being a relatively new sector, the M2M connections are expected to grow up to 55% a year in Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia between

New Media Economy Social media information and data collection and security In this brief essay, i would like to focus on the social media platforms in our moren society. How people use them, what kind of information we give away, what companies will do with this. Information sharing and data protection has become very popular theme in the recent few years. People care more about their privacy and avoid „big brother“ foreshadowing. It is important to know what social media platforms promise and are they really going to keep it. Users should think about what they share and what kind of information they generate. Because it is all recorded and some info can be traced back to real people. Privacy and data

generation of electricity. Wind power, along with solar power, is non-dispatchable, meaning that for economic operation all of the available output must be taken when it is available, and other resources, such as hydroelectricity, must be used to match supply with demand. Large scale wind farms are typically connected to the local electric power transmission network, with smaller turbines being used to provide electricity to isolated locations. Utility companies increasingly buy back surplus electricity produced by small domestic turbines. Wind energy as a power source is favoured by many environmentalists as an alternative to fossil fuels, as it is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces lower greenhouse gas emissions, although the construction of wind farms is not universally welcomed due to their visual impact and other effects on the environment. The intermittency of wind seldom creates problems when using wind power to
is a framework for enterprise architecture, which provides a formal and highly structured way of viewing and defining an enterprise. The Framework in practice is used for organizing enterprise architectural "artifacts" in a way that takes into account both: · who the artifact targets for example, business owner and builder, and · what particular issue for example, data and functionality is being addressed. These artifacts may include design documents, specifications, and models.[3]Scope (Ballpark) View.

harmonizing financial reporting. 5 Benefits of reporting Effective management in a global economy, where information travels at Internet speed, requires a proactive approach. Today’s strategic and operational complexities require a continua dialogue with investors, customers, advocates, suppliers, and employees. Companies increasingly emphasize the importance of relationships with external parties, ranging from consumers to investors to community groups, as key to their business success. Sustainability reporting is a vehicle for linking typically discrete and insular functions for the corporation in a more strategic manner. The process of developing a sustainability report provides a warning of trouble spots –
others. For example, Louis Vuitton handbags, BMWs, and Columbian coffee, all foreign products, are symbols of status and quality in the United States – and many American brands, like Warner Brothers motion pictures, have similar footholds overseas. • However, globalization has created just as many challenges as opportunities for brands that venture overseas. Because consumers have so many more options for similar products, companies must ensure that their products are high in quality and affordability. Additionally, these products cannot be marketed identically across the globe. International marketing takes more into consideration than just language – it involves culture, market saturation, and customer behaviors. American and European companies especially have turned their international marketing efforts into something more than just exporting – they have adapted their branding to account for
We buy the best, the top of the product lines, we are the most loyal to brands. Yet the Japanese have the greatest scorn for Africans. This is where the intelligence of Black race comes into question. 4 Let me talk about the reality here. Let’s assume that you live in Lagos, Nigeria and you want to make a call to Cotonou in Benin Republic, which is less than 100 miles away. You pick up the phone and dial. In most cases, the phone will not have a dial tone, and then the call may not go through. But if you were successful in getting through, you would first have to go through Paris, France before being connected to Cotonou in Africa. Africa, the poorest continent on this earth, with most natural resources, consumes everything as well and produces nothing. We embrace technology and hardly understand how it works. Unlike the Japanese and Asians who buy products from the West, disassemble them, find out how these

The Mexican sunflower is Tithonia rotundifolia. False sunflower refers to plants of the genus Heliopsis. · Scientific literature reports, from 1567, that a 12 m (40'), traditional, single-head, sunflower plant was grown in Padua. The same seed lot grew almost 8 m (24') at other times and places (e.g. Madrid). Much more recent feats (past score years) of over 8 m (25') have been achieved in both Netherlands and Canada (Ontario). · The sunflower is often used as a symbol of green ideology, much as the red rose is a symbol of socialism or social democracy. Flower formation 1. The first stage of the 3. The flower is nearly flower formation 2.

block sockets are all useful, the latter especially so in client/server multiplayer games. Version 1.3. introduced a timer API that can be employed in animation, and improved graphics and audio support. Recent Java extension libraries, such as Java 3D, the Java Media Framework (JMF), Java Sound, the Java Communications API, Jini, and JAXP (Java's peer-to-peer API) all offer something to games programmers. At the 2001 Game Developers Conference, Sun announced a collaboration with several other companies, including Sega and Sony, to develop a Java gaming API called the Java Game Profile [JSR 134 2001]. It will be targeted at two markets: high- end game devices (using J2ME) and desktop machines (using J2SE). The proposal lists several advantages of Java over other languages: its superior reliability, reduced time-to-market on games, device independence, platform scalability, the prevention of lock-in to a particular platform, and a broader target market.
dryers, and dishwashers. In the second half of the century advances in electronics yielded appliances that could be set on times and even programmed, further reducing the domestic workload by allowing washing and cooking to go on without the presence of the human launderer or cook. After the World War II the United States had $26 billion worth of factories that hadn't existed before the war, no bomb damage and practically no competition. All that American companies had to do was stop making tanks and battleships and start making cars and household appliances. By 1950 almost 90% of American families had refrigerators, and nearly three quarters had washing machines, telephones, vacuum cleaners and gas or electric stoves things that most of the rest of the world could still only fantasize about. The 5% of people on Earth who were Americans had more wealth than the other 95% combined. Answer the following questions: 1
