1. SST #109 Climate and Crops. / 리스닝

 

Now we spend a lot of time thinking about how climate will affect crops. But crops affect climate themselves and they do this in two ways. First of all, about one-quarter of the land surface is used for growing crops. Another 10-15 % are used for pasture. So a substantial amount of the land surface is used in crop and agricultural production. And how we used that land affects our climate? If we were, for example, to deforest a substantial area and replace it with the annual crop such as soybean. Then we would alter the characteristics of the land surface, alter the way that water and heat flows from the land surface to the atmosphere and back, and ultimately change the regional climate if that is not enough to change the land surface. So this is an absolutely fascinating topic and one that’s really quite difficult to understand because of the complexity. It’s difficult because it needs us as crops scientists to work even more closely with our climate scientist, colleagues. And it’s difficult because we have to join our models together.

Today we are going to talk some more about architecture and what makes for a good design. There are of course a whole range of qualities that most architects would like their buildings to possess. One of these is the durability of the building. Architects must consider how well the building will stand up to the ravages of climate and time. Will it remain robust and in good condition? Clearly, requirements will vary according to the surroundings of the building in question. A design that is suitable for Dubai will have different needs from one for Moscow. Then of course it's essential to consider the appearance of the building.

Regardless of what its purpose may be, will people find pleasure in looking at it! An original and still respected writer on architecture, the Roman Vitrtlvius, wrote in the first century that a building should delight people and should raise their spirits. Again. tastes may vary from one society to the next, but the principle remains the same.

For the first time, Japanese researchers have conducted a real-life experiment that shows how some traffic jams appear for no apparent reason. They placed the 22 vehicles on a single track, and asked the drivers to cruise around at a constant speed of 30 kilometers an hour. At first, traffic moves smoothly, but soon, the distance between cars started to vary and vehicles clumped together at one point on the track, but the jams spread backward around the track, like a shockwave at a rate of about 20 kilometers an hour. Real-life jams move backward at about the same speed.

➡️ clumped together :  뭉치다

➡️ shockwave : 충격파

➡️ at a rate of about 20 kilometers: ~의 속도로

Well in 2004 we integrated ticketing in South East Queensland, so we have introduced a paper ticket that allowed you to travel across all the three modes in South East Queensland, so bus, train and ferry and the second stage of integrated ticketing is the introduction of a Smart Card, and the Smart Card will enable people to store value so to put value on the card, and then to use the card for traveling,travelling around the system.

As with all human behavior, there are numerous reasons for it. But often it’s caused by someone who feels the need to show their superiority over someone else, in order to feel that they aren’t at the lowest level in hierarchy or a group of people. In some cases one person simply dislikes the other, on the basis that the personality of one is in some way incompatible with that of the other person.

#36 Stress 

Management requires a great deal of energy and effort more than most people care to make. One factor that affects managers and inhibits their capacity to provide leadership is stress. Stress has lots of causes, work overload, criticism from workers, and can have negative health effects, including loss of sleep. It's a fact: managers have to deal with stress. Some handle it by making time to be by themselves. Most have some favorite place or pastime, a beach to walk on, maybe a stream to fish in or a game to play with the kids. It's important to have some form of rest and relaxation, creating art, working with your hands, gardening, playing sports. The list goes on. Rest doesn't always mean inactivity. For some people exercise ...

In some ways, mental development is related to social development. In school age, children between the ages of six and twelve children move from being able to think only on a concrete level. That is about real objects they can touch to being capable of abstract thought in their social development. Children gradually acquire interpersonal reasoning skills. They learn to understand the feelings of other people, and also learned that a person's actions or words don't always reflect their inner feelings.
