مدينة ( مصدر )

المقدمة
إن التقدم العلمي نتج التقدم الصناعي لأنه ما تعلمناه في العلوم طبقناه للتأكد من صحته فتطورنا في الصناعة والتقانه , وبسبب التطور المستمر نتج تلوث البيئة بسبب عدم التوازن في التطور و المحافظة على البيئة , ونتج ذلك عدة مشكلات بيئية الاتي يهددن حياة الكائنات و على رأسهم الإنسان , كون الإنسان من سبب هذا الخلل و عدم التوازن فمن واجبه إعادة التوازن وحل المشكلة و بسبب رؤية الإنسان ومن تطبيقاته للمحافظة على البيئة (( مدينة مصدر )) هو ما سنتحدث عنه اليوم . تنحصر فصول هذا البحث على الشكل التالي . الفصل الأول : مشروع مدينة مصدر . وتنحصر تحت تلك العناوين :- نبذة عن مدينة مصدر , ومن ثم الأهداف من إنشاء مدينة مصدر , وبعد ذلك نبذة عن الشركة المسؤولة ويذكر فيه أساليب التي تساهم عن طريقها التنويع عن طريق خمسة وحدات متكاملة , ومن ثم يذكر سبب الإهتمام بطاقة المستقبل " الطاقة المتجددة " , وهكذا ننتهي من الفصل الأول . وبعدها الفصل الثاني بعنوان : منشآت ومباني مدينة مصدر , من المنشآت المذكورة مقر مدينة مصدر و مبنى كورتيارد ومن ثم معهد مدينة مصدر . وبعدها الفصل الثالث والأخير بعنوان : الجوائز , رؤية المدير التنفيذي , يذكر فيه جائزة " مدينة العام المستدامة " وبعدها جائزة " الجمعية العالمية للطاقة النظيفة " ومن ثم جائزة " مقر أيرينا " , ومن ثم يذكر عنواين لرؤيات المدير التنفيذي للمدينة وفي نهاية البحث نذكر رسالة صغيرة للدكتور سلطان أحمد الجابر المدير التنفيذي لمصدر .
نبذة عن مدينة مصدر (( مركز عالمي ناشئ للطاقة المتجددة والتقنيات النظيفة التي تضع الشركا في أبوظبي في قلب هذه الصناعة العالمة )) (1)
وله تعريف آخر (( أول مدينة خالية من الكربون والنفايات , تعمل بالطاقة المتجددة " الطاقة الشمسية " أي أنها تحافظ على سلامة البيئة وتمنعها من التلوث )) .
هي مدينة متطورة فيها ابتكار و إبداع و مدينة صديقة للبيئة لا يستخدم فيها اي من التقنيات الملوثة و ايضا تشجع على المشي على الأرجل لا لإستخدام السيارات , و بها تقنيات تساعد على حفظ أشعة الشمس لإعادة إستخدامها عندما يحل الظلام . ولم يتم حتى الآن الإنتهاء من إنشائه لأنه يستغرق الوقت لتطبيق المشاريع .
بسبب تطورنا في الصناعة لم نتطور بشكل مفاجئ كنا نرى الإيجابيات لنتطور وكان في حال تطور مستمر إلى أن وصلنا إلى مرحلة تطور مضر وملوث للبيئة سواء أكان مضر للبيئة السطحية اي التربة والمياه والهواء أو كان يضر طبقة الأوزون و الغلاف الجوي باقي الأغلفة لكوكب الأرض .
فبإختصار هذا المشروع يسعى إلى المحافظة على البيئة من التلوث و التدمير حتى نضمن عيش مستقبل آمن في بيئة سليمة لا تخالف عيش البشر عليها .
وايضا بها منصة تكنلوجية تمنح المشاريع فرصة الإبداع والإبتكار والتجربة والإختبار فتشجع الشباب على تطوير المشاريع و تنفيذها و تشجع التقنيات النظيفة .
أهداف من إنشاء المدينة
إن معظم أهدافها محافظة للبيئة ومن أهدافها :-
1 . أولاً إنشاء مدينة غير ملوثة بالبيئة .
2 . استخدام الطاقة المتجددة " الطاقة الشمسية " بديلاً للطاقة الغير المتجددة المنفذة " الوقود الأحفوري " كونه مضر بالبيئة .
3 . تسويق وتطبيق هذه التقنيات وغيرها في مجالات الطاقة المستدامة .
4 . إدارة الكربون .
5 . الحفاظ على المياه .
6 . تأسيس قطاع اقتصادي جديد كلياً يقوم على هذه الصناعات المبتكرة في أبوظبي .(1)
7 . دعم التنوع الاقتصادي .
8 . وتنمية القطاعات المرتكزة على المعرفة .
9 . تعزيز سجل إنجازات أبوظبي في مجال الحفاظ على البيئة .
10 . المساهمة في تطوير المجتمع العالمي .
11 . بناء محفظة تضم كبرى الشركات الطاقة المتجددة والتقنيات النظيفة .
وغيرها من الأهداف فالمشاريع الناجحة أهدافها تكون كثيرة جداً

نبذة عن الشركة المسؤولة

تأسست شركة مصدر في 2006 , هادفا تحقيق أرباح في التجارة في قطاع الطاقة المتجددة والتقنيات المستدامة .
وتعمل "مصدر" عبر خمس وحدات متكاملة، بما فيها "معهد مصدر" الذي يعد جامعة مستقلة للدراسات العليا تركز على الأبحاث. ومن خلال هذه الهيكلية، تسعى "مصدر" إلى ترسيخ مكانة أبوظبي كوجهة رائدة لتحويل طموحات الطاقة المتجددة إلى واقع فعلي للأعمال المجدية اقتصادياً، فضلاً عن الارتقاء بمكانة أبوظبي كمركز عالمي للجودة والتميز في قطاع الطاقة المتجددة والتقنيات النظيفة. ومن شأن هذه المنظومة المتكاملة بناء مؤسسة قوية قادرة على التركيز على كافة وحدات أعمالها. ويوفر التفاعل في تبادل المعرفة والتطور التقني أفضلية تنافسية كبيرة لـ "مصدر" التي تهدف إلى تحقيق الربح وذلك من خلال القدرة على التحرك بمرونة وذكاء في قطاع يتطور بسرعة هائلة.
تساهم مصدر في التنويع في أساليبها عن طريق وحداتها الخمسة المتكاملة :- (1) * توسيع قاعدة التصدير . * تشجيع روح الريادة والابتكار في القطاع الخاص . * الاستثمار في التعليم والأبحاث التي تحفز الابتكار . * تدريب واجتذاب العمالة الماهرة في القطاعات المرتكزة على المعرفة والمحافظة عليها . * تشجيع الاستثمار في المجالات التي تحقق مكاسب الملكية الفكرية . * تنمية حصة القطاعات غير النفطية في الاقتصاد الإماراتي وفصل النمو الاقتصادي عن تقلبات أسعار النفط.
سبب الاهتمام بطاقة المستقبل؟
1 . حفاظاً على الكوكب
يرتبط إرث أبوظبي بالعيش في كنف الصحراء القاسية، فقيادتها تدرك تماماً دروس العيش التقليدي في الصحراء حيث الممارسات المستدامة والمحافظة على الموارد ليست مجرد شعارات رنّانة، بل سبلاً أساسية للمحافظة على الحياة في بيئة مماثلة. ولذلك، تدرك قيادة الإمارات التحديات الكبيرة التي يفرضها التغير المناخي والتدهور البيئي وضرورة إيجاد مصادر للطاقة المستدامة. (1 )

2 .ضماناً لمستقبل أبوظبي .
لطالما تصدرت أبوظبي الأسواق العالمية للطاقة كمنتج هام للنفط والغاز، وتسعى من خلال "مصدر" إلى زيادة وتطوير مواردها الرئيسية وخبرتها في هذا القطاع للمحافظة على موقعها الريادي في سوق الطاقة العالمية المتغير الذي يتجه بشكل حثيث نحو اعتماد حلول الطاقة المتجددة. ومن خلال هذا المشروع أيضاً، تسعى أبوظبي إلى أن تصبح مركزاً دولياً رئيسياً في قطاع المتجددة والتقنيات المستدامة، لتعزز بذلك موقعها القوي أصلاً في مجال الطاقة الهيدروكربونية. وتتجلى هذه الريادة بأوجه عدة، فكما أن أبوظبي عُرفت دائماً بأنها منتج عالمي للطاقة، فإنها تبرهن من خلال "مصدر" عمّا يمكن لمنتجي النفط المسؤولين فعله لخلق توازن بين الهيدروكربون والطاقة المتجددة، وذلك لمعالجة تحديات تغير المناخ وضمان أمن الطاقة في آن معاً. (2)
3 . لمصلحة شعب أبوظبي .
باشرت أبوظبي برنامجاً لمدة عقدين يستهدف الانتقال من الاقتصاد المعتمد على الموارد الطبيعية إلى اقتصادٍ قائمٍ على المعرفة والابتكار وتصدير أحدث التقنيات. ويستند هذا التحول إلى خطة "الرؤية الاقتصادية لأبوظبي 2030"، التي تتضمن الخطوات التي يتعين اتخاذها لتحويل اقتصاد الإمارة في العقدين القادمين. تشتمل الأهداف الأساسية في الخطة على زيادة الإيرادات غير النفطية في الاقتصاد من زهاء 40% إلى ما يزيد عن 60%، والتنويع الواسع لنطاق النشاط الاقتصادي ليضم قطاعات ذات أولوية كالتربية، والمصارف والشؤون المالية، والسياحة، والمنتجات الصيدلانية، والإعلام، والطيران، والنقل والتموين، والتصنيع في مجالات مختلفة كالألمنيوم والبتروكيماويات. كما تركز الخطة على الصناعات التي توفر قيمة إضافية والمرتكزة على المعرفة، كالطاقة المتجددة والتقنيات المستدامة.

...Introduction This project was inspired by a power outage we experience now a days. Since every day we experience black out, we decided to make our own DARK SENSOR EMERGENCY LIGHT. It is so very useful during power outage rather than using a candle that may cause fire incidents. This is an automatic emergency lamp with day light sensing, means it senses darkness/night and turns ON automatically. Similarly it senses day light and turns OFF automatically. The good thing about this circuit is that it incorporates ordinary, cheap components which can be easily procured from the local market. Description I-Schematic diagram Conclusion We have to make the light sensor Night switching, we used two transistor, one LDR, one potentiometer (100K ohms), a diode (1N4007), bulb, rechargeable battery (4.5V), and a resistors (2pcs 33 ohms and 2pcs 1K ohms ). We connected a resistance of 1K in series with base of transistor (T1) and also connected the other components of the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram. We used the common emitter configuration of the transistor in this circuit. If we only used one transistor than the circuit will be daylight switching, we have to make the night switching so we inverted the output by connecting the base of the other transistor with the collector of the first transistor. Transistor (T1) is ON when there is a light present on the LDR because the voltage drop across the variable resistor is greater than 0.6V so that’s why the emitter collector...

Ethical Decisions

...make the decision to go to upper management about it. I had to take into consideration that it would be known I was the one who brought it to management’s attention, so I would be the bad guy. I also knew that if security saw it on video and I had not said something, I would be reprimanded. The values that I have as a senior lead, led me ultimately to make the choice to go to my boss, although knowing it was on camera also played a factor in my decision. I also felt that if a new employee saw this on the first day, she may be offended. As it turned out the new hire chose not to come back and I question whether the things she saw impacted her decision. Both the employee that was reprimanded and I were impacted by my decision, personally and professionally. The outcome was that she received a verbal warning and I am not the most liked person in the office. It makes it very hard to make decisions like these when we are friends away from work also, but when I took this job, I was aware that this may...

Are Tattoos Appropriate?

...Are tattoos appropriate in the workplace? Tattoos may or may not be appropriated in the workplace, because depending on what or where the tattoo located, there may or may not be an issue for the employers. It depends also on the employers industry and the type of job. Employees should be aware of the issues and the policy that prohibit tattoos. More and more employees are getting tattoos whether they are invisible or visible. There are some workplace can get exposed to a liability if the presence of the tattoo was an issue in making the hiring decision. The key for employers to have written policy that employees should be required to read and sign, about "no visible tattoos." Employers are reluctant to hire those with visible tattoos. Because, some tattoos are distracting, and it very unprofessional. Some people look at your tattoos and judges your appearance and stereotype you. I know applying for a job, you shouldn't have invisible tattoo, and because they might assume that the tattoo have a bad meaning. There shouldn't be any revealing tattoos during interviews. According to an article by Jennifer D. Melville even though tattoos are not allowed in the workplace, you can still have them just more in an unraveling setting. In a professional business setting, tattoos are unacceptable and should not be seen at all. I believe that tattoos do have a meaning when trying to get in a workplace, some peoples that have tattoos whether...

Recruitment of a Star

...After losing Peter, Stephan has to make a tough decision, out of five people who to hire. Each candidate has something different to offer and this hire has to be good. He needs to find someone that will blend into the team and has all the positive attributes that Peter had. I think Sonia is the best for this position, she is driven and money is not her driving force. She cares about the industry and puts team work first. She is a strong powerful woman and would work really well on grooming Rina into her position eventually. I do not think Rina is ready for the job yet, but I think Sonia is the person Rina needs to be learning from. She is all the positive things Peter was, smart, driven, analytical, without being too competitive. Sonia did the best in the interview process and she seemed like the one that was willing to learn and also fit into the team role. I think if Sonia, if hired, will become more than an analyst but she will also become a servant leader to the organization. Sonia, is ready for the opportunity in a bigger firm and I do not think this opportunity is too big for her. I think she will need to reevaluate how much she travels but besides that she is a great fit. The highest profile people have been moving around lately, hard to find a great fit for the job. If Craig Roberts calls too many people word on the street will get out that RHS lost one of the top Semiconductor analyst, this could put the company in a hard position. Hard to find a star of Peters caliber...

...impact their work life and thankfully there are a lot of laws to protect women's jobs when they are working. Most places do have great maternity leave programs that allow women to have children and get time off (usually paid depending on their status in the company) to have time to take care of the child when it is first born. Sometimes an issue can be when women are getting hired if the workplace knows a women is pregnant they will disciminate against that (even though it is not legal) and they will not hire someone as they see it as negative for the company. Even with hiring and getting promoted in the workplace woman who have children sometimes are seen as a "liability". This meaning that because a woman has children she is often see this way as the company thinks she would favor her children or what is going on in her personal life over her duties in her job. So the wy some companies see it is they can have someone with children who may be a liability or they can hire someone without children and not have this obstical to worry about. This kind of discrimination is considered illegal and shouldn't happen but sometimes it still does. So this part of a woman's personal life can impact her work as sometimes she is seeen as not being reliable or not being really dedicated to that...

...BUS 2240 News Article Assignment Tap to hail In ever more cities, smartphone apps are reshaping the taxi market Oct 19th 2013 | LONDON AND NEW YORK |From the print edition * * All hail the quick, reliable taxi SINCE last month the citizens of Johannesburg have been able to hail and pay for taxis through SnappCab, a local start-up. A tap on SnappCab’s smartphone app summons a cab; a driver accepts on his own phone; and the passenger sees the driver’s name and photo, so he knows whom to expect and when. At journey’s end, he can pay with another tap through a pre-loaded credit card, or in cash. The idea is simple: the app makes it easier to bring together drivers, whose cabs are often empty, and passengers. Time and fuel are saved. Money is made. In many other cities taxi apps have taken off rapidly. Hailo, founded in London by cabbies and techies three years ago, says 60% of the city’s black-cab drivers are now on its books. Several cabs are decked out in Hailo yellow. It has spread to 14 places, most recently Osaka in Japan. Uber began in 2009 in San Francisco, which has a shortage of taxis but a surfeit of geeks looking for problems to solve. Now it can find you a ride in 49 cities in 19 countries. GetTaxi, set up in Tel Aviv in 2010, has reached London, Moscow and New York. Local apps can be found in cities from São Paulo to Singapore. Besides SnappCab, Johannesburg has Uber and Zapacab (which also started in Cape Town earlier this year) plying for trade. Apps...

The Clown

...another day, I would spend the first quarter buying gifts and making letters or videos for the people who made an impact in my life. After doing those things, I would invite the person I love for a picnic under a tree somewhere on a hill and have a great time. Before I die, I would actually want to do something extreme. After having lunch with the person I love, I would want to go sky diving with a really good friend of mine because we promised that we would go on a sky dive together. I actually want to ride all the roller coasters in the world, but since that would require travelling the world and would accommodate days, I would go on skydiving because it can be done in less than a day. After going on a sky dive, I would eat the best burger in town together with my sister because we had a deal when we were young that we will eat the tastiest burger in the country. After eating with my sister, I would host a party somewhere spacious, like a dome. My family, my very close friends, even my classmates back in preschool, all of them would be there. I would hire all my favorite bands to play all my favorite songs. I would love it if everyone would just have fun and it would be one of the most memorable parties that they have ever been to. During the last hours of my life, I would spend it with the people I love somewhere windy and near a waterfall. I would give them my presents and letters or videos that I have prepared earlier. I am not the type of person who can...

...Friends (stylized as F•R•I•E•N•D•S) is an American sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, which aired on NBC from September 22, 1994 to May 6, 2004. The series revolves around a group of friends in Manhattan. The series was produced by Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television. The original executive producers were Crane, Kauffman and Kevin S. Bright, with numerous others being promoted in later seasons. Kauffman and Crane began developing Friends under the title Insomnia Cafe in November/December 1993. They presented the idea to Bright, with whom they had previously worked, and together they pitched a seven-page treatment of the series to NBC. After several script rewrites and changes, including a second title change to Friends Like Us, the series was finally named Friends and premiered on NBC's coveted Thursday 8:30 pm timeslot.

A Complicated Relationship

...A Complicated Relationship Once, there was a shy girl who likes to play the guitar. Her name is Gelou. She is always alone. She doesn’t have many friends and if she has, she doesn’t hang out much with them. Every time she’s at school, she always sits on the bench, play a song and sing it with harmony. One day when she was walking at the porch, she bumped into a girl. “Where are looking?!” “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention,” she replied. “Oh, I’m sorry, too. My day is just bad. By the way, I’m Kelly,” the girl said. “Hi, Kelly. My name is Gelou. Nice meeting you.” “Okay, got to go. See you around. Bye!” “Bye!” That was the start of their friendship. Every lunch and recess, they will meet up and talk about many things. They talk about a lot of things about academics because Kelly is not the type who will scream for her idol or wear make-up just to be noticed by her crush. She’s kind of boyish. Not like Gelou. But even though they are different, they still got along just fine. Suddenly, some popular boys, which are their classmates, just bumped into them. As expected, Gelou wouldn’t say anything. But Kelly is different. “Hey! Watch where you’re going!” “Oh, miss. We’re sorry,” one of the boys said. “Next time, you guys should look where you’re going,” looks at Gelou “Let’s go!” The next day, Kelly didn’t go to school leaving Gelou alone. For the second time in her life. Again, she was sitting in her favorite bench, playing a smooth song in her...

I always wondered what it would be like to travel to another place and experience another country's culture. It would be fun to go to South America, Australia, Europe, or even China. Well, I had my opportunity in 7th grade to go to France in Europe, and what I remembered from this trip was an injury that I probably would not forget. The place I stayed in France was a house not too far from Paris. It was in the rural areas of France, but it was a lovely place. My friend, Julien, showed me around the house and introduced me to his family. They were all very kind. Everything was going smoothly and I waited for the upcoming days of excitement. One day, on a weekend, Julien gathered some friends to have a picnic and to go on a bike journey. There were a total of 6 including me, 4 guys and 2 girls. Julien lent me one of his bikes, which was not the best because the wheels kept jamming, but usable. On the way, we stopped at stores to pick up snacks and accessories. We even stopped by a shop that had all kinds of explosives and fireworks. At this point I was really excited because in the shop were small dynamites, the size of USB drives to rockets that would shoot in the sky to make pretty sparkles in the sky. I eagerly paid for several boxes of small dynamites and a...

A State of Trance

...language. It not only provides insight but it allows me to feel as if I’m in another world. Music comes in many forms from rap, r&b, rock, pop, and many more but nothing speaks to me more than the power of trance. Trance is a genre of music that alters a mix of electric dance and repeated lyrics and beats. Throughout my school years I managed to have many friends but ones who weren’t really setting me up for a good future. I would do things, such as homework and studies, at my own pace and school wasn’t my first priority. It was fall of 2009, when my cousin Jay, introduced me to the world of trance. I remember that very first song he had me listen to called “On a good day” by Oceanlab. After hearing it several times I almost felt as if I were able to escape from the world I was living and came to realize that it was almost my little piece of heaven. Trance makes me so relaxed and motivated when I listen to it. It was almost like a friend to me because the lyrics that came along with it were more insightful than the words that came out of my friend’s mouths I hung out with. At that point in my life I moved away from friends and moved in a better direction. Sports have been a huge part of my life. I played soccer and volleyball all throughout high school and I remember specifically these words from my volleyball coach Maggie Porada, “ We can tell you what to do and how to play but we can’t motivate you more than you can yourself.” I went home after that practice wondering if...
