...Scenario: Class 4 Hurricane hits the local area. Power is out, water from flooding blocks all travel to the south and east. Local residents have doubled our max capacity for pets as they dropped them off at our front doorstep on their way to shelter. Internet and phone lines are down, and cell service is so congested, only SMS go through, and with unreliability. Physical Preparations: * All pets wear collars that are clearly marked and coincide with their primary key in our database. * Backup lighting installed and inspected quarterly - 12hr battery life. * Backup generator with fuel to last 72 hours. * Emergency food and water stored in basement. * Three hard copy evacuation routes for each hot site location * Emergency printable animal / owner roster pre-created & available to be printed at any time. * Emergency backup power for server and main computer (allow time for generator to power on) Before: This is a challenging step because in this part of the plan you must decide if you will be staying or evacuating. The safest time to evacuate is prior to the emergency. If you've determined the hurricane will be manageable and you stay, you will have to: Monitor news, check battery levels, maintain accurate roster, touch base with alternate hot sites, prepare a go kit should you have to move (includes evacuation route maps, swappable hard disks, pet / owner rosters, employee emergency contacts, DR plan), contact hot sites and determine...

...AND UNINTERRUPTIBLE AC POWER BACK-UP SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION Fermilab utilizes a variety of emergency AC power systems to provide back-up power to critical loads in the event of power outages. Larger such systems are gas or diesel powered motor-generators. This chapter does not specifically cover these larger systems. Smaller systems are normally powered by the AC electrical distribution system and employ DC batteries for energy storage of sufficient capacity to back-up the protected load for a specific time period. A first version of the smaller type tolerates an interruption of power to the load and is commonly known as an Interruptible Power Supply (IPS). The IPS type system is typically used for emergency egress lighting. The requirements for testing, documenting and repairing emergency egress lighting are specifically addressed in FESHM Chapter 6011 - “PERIODIC TESTING OF EMERGENCY LIGHTS’. The more common version of the emergency power back-up system is the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) which provides continuous uninterrupted AC power to selected loads. The UPS finds use in backing up computer related systems, critical loads (such as the Comm Center), and also emergency egress lighting systems. The voltage output of IPS and UPS systems are typically 120 or 277 VAC. The ampacity of these systems, rated in KVA, and time of being able to provide emergency power vary from system to system. Both the IPS and UPS type systems employ Direct Current (DC)...

...MBA 439: Business Economics CBA Report Writing Topic: Benefit-Cost Analysis of Pacific Islands Alternative Energy (An Economic Assessment of Renewable Energy Options for Rural Electrification in Pacific Island Countries) Lecturer: Professor Jim MacMaster By Tamaroa Tekeiaki – s11059287. Introduction Is there a way for Pacific island countries to opt for a more inexpensive and environmental friendly power source for rural electrification or should they just stick to the current source of energy they are using at the moment? This report provides then a summary of the evaluation on the economic and financial cost of these alternative renewable energy projects that the pacific islands may opt to in terms of their cost-benefit analysis. From recent data report the world relied on renewable sources for around 13.1% of its primary energy supply, according to IEA statistics. Renewables accounted for 19.5% of global electricity generation. (IRENA websites, 2009) According to the report, Woodruff stated that, “In the pacific islands alone approximately 70% (or approximately 50% excluding Papua New Guinea) of the region’s population still lacks access to electricity. In addition, Pacific Island Countries, despite their abundance of renewable energy resources, remain almost completely dependent on imported fossil fuels for meeting their energy needs. However, imported fuel from overseas account for an average of 40% of countries’ gross domestic products. With rising fuel...

...am writing about is Baderman Island Resort. Baderman Island resort is a self-contained, all-inclusive resort destination. The island features an array of restaurants, three different hotels to meet your individual needs, and an almost unlimited list of activities to entertain and relax you. The resort was built with everything anyone would want for rest and relaxation. The resort is a perfect destination for everyone from family vacationer to corporate retreats, the possibilities are endless. This paper will address three ethical and moral issues that Baderman Island Resort is currently facing; substandard equipment; data security, and deceptive pricing tactics. Ethical and moral issues occur daily in business organizations. Some ethical issues are governed by law but moral issues are basic right and wrong choices management, employees, and customers faced daily. Substandard Equipment Baderman Island Resort is a self contained island that has three hotels over a 1000 sprawling acres with beautiful beach views, golf courses, botanical gardens, convention center, art gallery, and spas. The problem is when the resort was built; the original plans were for a smaller island with fewer hotels, and less equipment. A recent, unusual storm affected the island last month and caused flooding and power outages. Many of the posting from guest, on the facilities blog, voiced concerned regarding the flooding on the island and the loss of power to the facilities. The owners...

...of a model on national culture. The national culture model is made up of six dimensions: Power Distance, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long Term Orientation and Indulgence. Jamaica is an island located in the Caribbean Sea. The island is just over 4,200 square miles and is just south of Cuba. There are currently 2.9 million people living in Jamaica. The Arawaks, also called Tainos, originally inhabited the island. The Arawaks were from South America and called the island Xaymaca, which meant “land of wood and water”. Christopher Columbus landed on the island on May 5, 1494 after the Cubans described the island as “the land of blessed gold”. The island did not contain gold. Columbus claimed the land for Spain and enslaved the Arawaks. The Arawaks quickly died off from disease and the harsh conditions of their newfound enslavement. The Spanish used the island as a supply base. Horses, men, food and arms were shipped and stored in Jamaica to aid in the conquering of America. The English attacked Jamaica on May 10, 1655. The Spanish surrendered and fled to Cuba. Buccaneers (sea thugs) came to the island and settled in a town called Port Royal, with a loot of silver, gold and jewels in tote. Under the leadership of the buccaneers, Port Royal became known as the “wealthiest and wickedest city in the world”. The buccaneers kept the Spanish from attacking the island, which pleased Britain. The leader of the buccaneers, Captain Henry Morgan (yes,...

...A Green Energy Plan For The Caribbean. ENERGY In 1979, when Richard Branson bought the 74-acre Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands, he paid less than $300,000. It was untouched, undeveloped, inhabited only by birds and jungle critters. Back then, no one worried a wit about carbon emissions, ocean acidification, rising sea levels. To bring electricity to his island retreat Branson, like virtually everyone else on the small islands of the Caribbean, installed diesel generators. As far as fuels go, diesel is hard to beat. It's easy to transport and contains a lot of energy in a small volume. It's already ubiquitous in the islands as fuel for boats. And it's never been cleaner, with U.S. government standards limiting sulfur content to no more than 15 parts per million. For decades, diesel was simply the way to go. But Branson wants to change that. Because running on diesel means that the cost of electricity on Caribbean islands averages about 50 cents per kwh, about five times what it is on the mainland United States. In early February, Branson leveraged his star power to convene a three-day meeting of dignitaries from 13 Caribbean nations including the Virgin Island, St. Kitts & Nevis, Turks & Caicos and the Cayman Islands. While enjoying both Necker Island and Branson's neighboring Moskito Island, they discussed the costs of powering their island homes and the economics of switching over to clean, green renewable energy. Working with The Carbon War...

...Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photovoltaic effect.[2] Photovoltaics were initially, and still are, used to power small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to off-grid homes powered by a photovoltaic array. They are an important and relatively inexpensive source of electrical energy where grid power is inconvenient, unreasonably expensive to connect, or simply unavailable. However, as the cost of solar electricity is falling, solar power is also increasingly being used even in grid-connected situations as a way to feed low-carbon energy into the grid. Commercial concentrated solar power plants were first developed in the 1980s. The 392 MW ISEGS CSP installation is the largest solar power plant in the world, located in the Mojave Desert of California. Other large CSP plants include the SEGS (354 MW) in the Mojave Desert of California, the Solnova Solar Power Station (150 MW) and the Andasol solar power station (150 MW), both in Spain. The 250+ MW Agua Caliente Solar Project in the United States, and the 221 MW Charanka Solar Park in India, are the world’s largest photovoltaic power stations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power ...

...This inner being is perfectly depicted through the lord of the flies. Contrary to the boys’ beliefs, the lord of the flies, or in the novel the symbol of the "beast", is not "something you could hunt and kill" (164), but rather a spirit that dwells inside of a soul, and slowly seduces one into complete and utter savagery. In the novel, Lord of the Flies, William Golding gives the reader a glimpse into a society composed of a group of young British boys, all raised in a civilized and orderly manner, that find themselves stranded on a deserted island. Fighting for survival, many of the boys surrender to the Beast that engulfs them. Others, like Ralph, find themselves in a much more complex and compromising battle- one that takes place inside the mind. In his novel, Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses the motifs of the pig dance, the conch, and the masks to convey the theme that man becomes a corrupt and savage being without a strict system of order and civilization. By dancing and singing to celebrate the brutal murdering of a pig, the boys enter into a society, or even a cult, surrounded by sadistic and brutal thoughts. The first time the boys perform this ritual, Golding describes their actions as “relieved and excited…making pig-dying noises and shouting” (81). Clearly, the boys feel a rush of exhilaration and excitement when they escape their civilized manner and become a member of this vicious sacrament. These feelings serve only to propel them deeper into this cult, as...

...solutions in rural, remote areas in the country. Thus in February 27, 1981, Federal Republic of Germany and Republic of the Philippines entered into a contract to develop applications of solar energy in the Philippines. This project was called the Philippine German Solar Energy Project (PGSEP) which was funded by the German Bundesministeruim for Zussamenarbeit through the Gesselchaft for Zussamenarbeit, and Philippine Office Energy. The governing body of the said project was the Philippine National Oil Corporation through its Energy Research and Development Center. Solar power systems is done through the encapsulation of the solar energy from the sun through the photovoltaic (PV) panels which produce direct current (DC) power to run a DC appliance. Additionally, DC current can be converted alternating current (AC) to run AC appliances. The project was anticipated to solve the inexistence of electrical power resources to provide for the basic needs that immediately improve the lives of Filipinos in areas where electricity is not readily available. II. TIME FRAME The proponents point for analysis would be on 1988. This is based on the data given concerning the commencement of PGSEP (Philippine-German Solar Energy Project) on February 27, 1981 to develop a solar source of energy in the Philippines and yet after 7 years, it was to be terminated at the end of the year unless they could have a local group who will deal with the project commercially.

... “If you are sufficiently determined to achieve something, than you will find a way of doing so.,” an Indonesian proverb utters. Spread across thousands of islands between Asia and Australia, today the Republic of Indonesia is the world's largest Muslim population in Southeast Asia as well as Southeast Asia's biggest economy. Nonetheless, the road to Indonesian success on freedom and independence was full of hurdles and challenges. Throughout the centuries, Indonesia faced Portuguese, Dutch and Japanese invasions, as well as governmental conflicts, terrorism, and natural disasters. In the hands of colonizing powers and invaders, Indonesian independence was not proclaimed until the mid-twentieth century. However, its history goes back to 14th century, way before the very first colonialism spark in Europe. Despite the scarcity of information regarding 14th- 15th century Indonesia, the presence of two dominant states Majapahit in East Java and Malacca in Malaya can be mentioned. Like many island countries, landforms and climate of the region had great significance on agriculture, trade and state formation in Indonesia. Java is the largest piece of the Indonesian island group, thus being land based unlike other states. The island is divided into east and west by a set of volcanic mountains, forming a spine along the island. The other mountains and highlands are the primary cause of isolated region formation throughout Java, which are also among the richest wet-rice cultivation...

...A Cup of Coffee with the Linovamvaki Reviving ethnic and cultural integration on the island of Cyprus Michael Apicelli IRP-601 Dayton 18 December 2006 The island-nation of Cyprus, although small, serves as the location of the most long-standing UN Peace-keeping mission in the world. The UN-established “green line” divides Cyprus into two parts, the lower 2/3 of the island known as the Cypriot Republic, is almost exclusively populated by denizens whose ethnic identification is classified as Greek. The northern third of the island, occupied by self-avowed Turkish Cypriots, recognizes itself as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The only other country in the world that recognizes the TRNC is Turkey, while the Republic of Cyprus is recognized internationally. While the international community recognizes the Republic of Cyprus as having jurisdiction over the island as a whole, in fact the Republic’s authority stops at the green line, a fact which has led at a number of confusing international issues, including Cyprus’ and Turkey’s EU accession bids. The Beginnings of Cypriot History Cyprus is an island state that has only recently achieved sovereignty. Inhabited for well over two thousand years, it has a four hundred year colonial history of shared culture, language, and mores between the Turkish and Greek Cypriots that populate its scenic mountains, plains, and beaches. These shared mores and sense of culture will prove...
