South African Broadcaster Ups Domestic Music Quota

The South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has announced plans to significantly increase its domestic music quota on radio in the lead-up to the 2010 FIFA soccer World Cup.

Speaking on day one of African music business conference Moshito, SABC's head of strategy Sipho Sithole said that the national broadcaster was aiming for 70% domestic repertoire on its radio stations by 2010.

"Starting in 2008, we will be broadcasting at 60% local content, moving through to 65% next year," Sithole confirmed.

This quota applies to SABC's 13 public broadcasting service (PBS) stations. Sithole added that those stations broadcasting in indigenous languages would be compelled to play 40% of their music in the language spoken in the geographical area they serve.

As far as the public commercial service (PCS) stations are concerned, Sithole said that the quota for domestic repertoire would be set at 35% in 2008, 40% in 2009 and 45% in 2010. These include Johannesburg-based national stations Metro FM and 5FM.

The current quotas imposed by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA), the regulator for South African communications, are far lower those the SABC is now implementing. A presentation at the Moshito session by ICASA manager Mamodupi Kgatshe confirmed that PBS stations were required to play 40% South African music while PCS networks have to play 25%.

Sithole also used his platform to announce a three-year media partnership with Moshito.

"We currently have 18 radio stations broadcasting from Moshito which shows you how seriously we are taking our support of the South African music industry," he said.

Moshito, now in its fifth year, claims to be Africa's premier music event. This year's installment includes forums on public broadcast of performance royalties, digital rights management (DRM), sampling and music marketing strategy for the 2010 World Cup. The number of international speakers has also grown this year, thanks largely to a new relationship with world music confab WOMEX.

By understanding the significance of supporting local artists and music, we can appreciate the role that music quotas play in preserving and promoting cultural heritage.


text: Dirty air? CHRO”M”ic water pollution? Not with Konnex!. Long before we were certified to ISO 14001, we took the first steps towards environmental protection.. For example, in 2015 we worked with our Chinese suppliers on a CrVI-free galvanic coating. This coating should have the same anti-corrosion properties as the yellow zinc layer with chromium VI, which is currently very widespread. It was a major project in which we had to overcome many obstacles. Our work was supported by the Chinese government, which is taking very tough measures against environmental polluters.. We can be proud that we have achieved this goal and that we can offer you our cargo securing program in the silver KOsil surface (Konnex silver). Less chromium VI is an important step towards protecting the environment. We support our approach to “systematic change” – this is a win-win situation for you as a customer and for our environment.. Convince yourself of our “green” quality.

Jarrett was released to make room for Mardy Gilyard, who the Eagles signed Tuesday to bolster a wide receiver corps that is already down one and possibly two if Jeremy Maclin can't play Sunday against the Ravens.. Gilyard spent all of the preseason with the Eagles but was released on Aug. 31 when the roster was trimmed to 53.. Jarrett appeared in jeopardy of getting cut that day as well after struggling through the preseason. But the Eagles gave the safety a reprieve after coach Andy Reid and general manager Howie Roseman said he had shown improvement as the preseason progressed.

Lesson: Understanding NFL Draft and Player Releases

Introduction:
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional sports league consisting of 32 teams, each with its own roster of players. The NFL draft is an annual event where teams select eligible college football players to join their rosters. In this lesson, we will learn about the NFL draft, player releases, and how these events affect team rosters.

Section 1: Understanding the NFL Draft

Topic 1: What is the NFL draft?
The NFL draft is an annual event where NFL teams select eligible college football players to join their rosters. The draft is made up of seven rounds, with each team getting one pick per round. The team with the worst record from the previous season gets the first pick, and the order continues in reverse order of the standings.

Topic 2: How does the draft work?
Each team has a draft board, which lists the players they are interested in selecting. During the draft, teams take turns selecting players until all teams have picked a certain number of players. Teams can also trade draft picks with other teams.

Topic 3: Why is the NFL draft important?
The NFL draft is important because it gives teams the opportunity to improve their rosters by adding talented players. It is also a way for undrafted free agents to get a chance to play in the NFL.

Section 2: Player Releases

Topic 1: What is a player release?
A player release is when a team lets a player go from their roster. This can happen for various reasons, such as the player not performing well, the team needing to make room on the roster for another player, or the team deciding not to renew the player's contract.

Topic 2: How does a player release affect a team?
When a team releases a player, it means that the player is no longer on the team's roster. This can affect the team's performance on the field, as well as their salary cap.

Section 3: Applying Skills to New Problems

Now that we understand the NFL draft and player releases, let's apply these concepts to a new problem. Imagine you are the general manager of an NFL team. Your star running back was injured and will be out for the season. You need to find a replacement player to add to your roster.

1. What should you do?
You should look for a running back who is available on the waiver wire or through a trade. You could also consider signing an undrafted free agent or making a selection in the NFL draft.

2. What factors should you consider when choosing a replacement player?
Some factors to consider include the player's skill set, their availability, their salary demands, and how they would fit into your team's overall strategy.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the NFL draft and player releases, and how these events affect team rosters. We also applied these concepts to a new problem, showing how understanding these concepts can help us make informed decisions in the future. By learning about the NFL draft and player releases, we can better understand the complexities of building a successful NFL team.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Weather Radar Technology

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of weather radar technology, its applications, and the benefits of cooperation among countries in the field of meteorology.

**Section 1: Introduction**

Weather radar technology is a tool used by meteorologists to detect and monitor weather patterns such as rain, snow, and storms. It works by emitting radio waves and then measuring the time it takes for the waves to bounce back after hitting an object, such as a raindrop or snowflake. This information is then used to create a visual representation of the weather, known as a radar image.

**Section 2: Cooperation Agreement**

In order to ensure accurate and reliable weather forecasts, it is essential for countries to work together and share data. A cooperation agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions under which two or more organizations or countries can share data and resources. In the case of weather radar technology, the BALTRAD cooperation agreement allows participating countries to exchange data for official duty use and encourage cooperation within the field of weather radar technology, scientific research, product development, and data application.

**Section 3: Participating Countries**

The following countries have signed the BALTRAD cooperation agreement:

- Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, Sweden
- Finnish Meteorological Institute, Finland
- Institute of Meteorology and Water Management, Poland
- Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Center, Latvia
- Danish Meteorological Institute, Denmark
- Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service under the Ministry of Environment, Lithuania
- Republican Hydrometeorological Center, Belarus
- Estonian Environment Agency, Estonia
- German Weather Service, Germany
- Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, Ukraine
- Central Aerological Observatory of ROSHYDROMET, Russia

**Section 4: Conclusion**

By working together and sharing data, participating countries can improve the accuracy of their weather forecasts and better prepare for extreme weather events. This cooperation agreement is an excellent example of how collaboration can lead to better results than working alone. Students can apply this concept to other areas of study, such as science, math, or social studies.

MIT professor volunteers to help stabilise Ukraine’s economy

When the two expressions business school and crowdsourcing appear in the same sentence, most people would probably think of students raising cash for their latest start-up or social enterprise. But for MIT professor Andrei Kirilenko crowdsourcing has a very different purpose.

Prof Kirilenko, professor of the practice of finance at the Sloan school, has recently spent three-and-a-half weeks in the Ukraine, where he has been advising those in power on how to stabilise the economy and help the country grow.

IN Business School News

“I went there [Ukraine] as volunteer,” he says. “Instead of a tsunami or an earthquake, it was a man-made disaster.”

Now he is hoping to persuade others with knowledge and talent to volunteer too. The plan is to crowdsource expertise and he is inviting all those with business, educational, financial and legislative knowledge to contact him directly to help form a network to regenerate the country. “I think the rest of the world could really help.”

He describes the country in graphic terms. “It is like what happened in Britain when the Romans pulled out. When the Romans left they [the Britons] lost everything. For 600 years after that there was the Dark Ages.” He fears Ukraine might face the 21st century equivalent.

Prof Kirilenko’s work with Ukraine has personal roots. Now a US citizen, he grew up in the Ukraine and studied in eastern Europe before getting a PhD in economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

Before becoming co-director of the MIT Sloan centre for finance and policy, where research centres on preventing future financial crises, he was chief economist of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission and before that he spent 12 years at the International Monetary Fund.

Indeed, he says much of his time in the Ukraine was spent giving advice about how Ukraine could work with the IMF, something he is well-versed in doing. At the IMF, he says, the work he did was “financial crisis work”, with countries on the fringe of the global financial system. “I went from crisis to crisis.”

Title: Crowdsourcing Expertise for Economic Stabilization in Ukraine

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the concept of crowdsourcing and how it can be used to address economic challenges in a country like Ukraine. We will also explore the role of experts in providing guidance and support to help stabilize the economy.

Section 1: What is Crowdsourcing?
Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining information, input or services from a large, undefined group of people, typically via the internet. In this case, Professor Kirilenko is using crowdsourcing to gather expertise from various fields to help stabilize Ukraine's economy.

Section 2: How Can Crowdsourcing Help Stabilize Ukraine's Economy?
Experts in finance, business, education, and legislation can provide valuable insights and recommendations to help Ukraine's government make informed decisions. By leveraging the collective knowledge of these experts, the Ukrainian government can develop effective strategies to address the economic challenges facing the country.

Section 3: The Role of Experts in Economic Stabilization
Experts play a crucial role in providing guidance and support to help stabilize Ukraine's economy. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, which can be invaluable in developing solutions to complex economic problems.

Section 4: Practical Examples
One example of how crowdsourcing can be used to stabilize Ukraine's economy is by creating a platform where experts can share their ideas and suggestions. This platform could be used to identify areas where the government needs to focus its efforts, as well as to develop strategies for addressing specific economic challenges.

Another example is the use of crowdsourced data to inform decision-making. For instance, experts could analyze data on the country's economic performance and provide recommendations based on their findings.

Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, crowdsourcing can be a powerful tool in addressing economic challenges, particularly in countries like Ukraine that are facing significant economic instability. By leveraging the collective knowledge of experts, the government can make informed decisions and develop effective strategies to stabilize the economy and promote growth.

Glossary:
- Crowdsourcing: The practice of obtaining information, input or services from a large, undefined group of people, typically via the internet.
- Expert: A person who has a high level of skill or knowledge in a particular area.

Self-Debating Discussion:
Why is it important for experts to contribute their knowledge and expertise to help stabilize Ukraine's economy? How can we ensure that the crowdsource model is effective in gathering the best possible advice and recommendations?

UK Experts Debate the Importance of Saving Pandas

November 6, 2012

Unlocking Word MeaningsRead the following words/expressions found in today’s article.

1. habitat (n.) [hab-i-tat] – the place where an animal or plant lives

Example: The jungle is a habitat for wild cats.

2. biodiversity (n.) [bahy-oh-di-vur-si-tee, ‐dahy‐] – the different plants and animals found in an environment

Example: The biodiversity of Brazil’s forests should be protected.

3. greenwash (n.) [green][wosh, wawsh] – a way of saying something is good for the environment when it really does not do much to protect or help the environment

Example: They said the product is “made from natural and environment-friendly ingredients,” but it may just be greenwash.

4. unparalleled (adj.) [uhn-par-uh-leld] – not equaled by another

Example: He wants to capture the unparalleled beauty of nature in his painting.

5. detractor (n.) [dih-trakt] – a person who opposes or argues against someone or something

Example: The government’s detractors argued against the expensive lifestyles of public officials.

ArticleRead the text below.

The UK’s Society of Biology recently held a forum in London on the topic “Do we need pandas? Choosing which species to save.” At the forum, speakers talked about whether saving pandas and their habitats are good for the environment.

The topic comes as some detractors say that saving pandas is a kind of Chinese greenwash. They believe people’s money and focus should be directed to more important environmental issues.

Biologist Simon Watt, who was part of the panel discussion, said conservation projects should be studied carefully. According to him, panda habitats deserve to be protected, but other animal homes should be prioritized.

He recommended focusing on lesser-known projects, such as the Yasuni National Park in Ecuador. The location is home to 2,200 tree species, and the area has much biodiversity in need of protection.

On the other hand, Iain Valentine argued that saving pandas was not a form of greenwash. Valentine, animal conservation director at Edinburgh Z0o in Scotland, was responsible for bringing two pandas to the Scotland zoo last year after making a deal with China.

Valentine said pandas have an unparalleled charm that makes them popular. He added that profits gained because of pandas go directly to panda conservation, and panda conservation does not use or take away the budget of other projects.

Furthermore, protecting pandas helps protect other species living in the same habitats. Valentine mentioned China’s Wolong, which is a well-known panda reserve and UNESCO site, as an example. He said the area’s biodiversity has been better cared for because pandas live there.

Viewpoint DiscussionEnjoy a discussion with your tutor.
Discussion A

·Why do you think pandas get more attention than other endangered plants or animals?

·What other animal or plant do you think is worth protecting? Why do you think so?

textbook:
nd more money on saving pandas?” The debate brought together experts from different fields such as conservation biology, ecology, and economics. One side argued that pandas are an important symbol of China’s efforts to protect wildlife, while the other side claimed that spending money on saving pandas could be better spent on other endangered species.

One expert said, “Pandas have become an emblem of conservation efforts, and their protection has led to the preservation of many other species in their habitat.” Another expert countered, “While it’s true that panda conservation has had some success, there are many other species that need our attention more urgently.”

The debate also touched on the issue of biodiversity. Some experts argued that protecting panda habitats can help preserve other species as well. Others said that the focus on panda conservation might lead to greenwashing, or making something look environmentally friendly when it isn’t.

In the end, the experts agreed that the debate was not about whether we should save pandas or not, but rather about how we allocate resources for conservation efforts. They acknowledged that the world needs to invest more in protecting endangered species and their habitats.

Glossary

Habitat: The place where an animal or plant lives.

Biodiversity: The different plants and animals found in an environment.

Greenwash: A way of saying something is good for the environment when it really does not do much to protect or help the environment.

Unparalleled: Not equaled by another.

Detractor: A person who opposes or argues against someone or something.

Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the importance of protecting endangered species and their habitats. We also learned about the concept of biodiversity and how it relates to conservation efforts. We discussed the potential downside of greenwashing and how it can mislead people into thinking they are helping the environment when they are not. Finally, we explored the idea of allocating resources for conservation efforts and how experts are working to find the best way to do this.

Lesson: Introduction to Economic Theory

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Economic theory is a branch of social science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It examines how individuals, businesses, governments, and other organizations make choices on allocating scarce resources to satisfy their unlimited wants.

**Key Concept:** Scarcity

Scarcity refers to the limited availability of resources to satisfy human wants. Since resources are finite, people must make choices on how to allocate them efficiently.

**Question:** Why do we study economic theory?

Answer: We study economic theory to understand how societies allocate scarce resources to satisfy unlimited human wants. This knowledge helps us make informed decisions about production, distribution, and consumption.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a simple example. Suppose there are only two food items available - apples and oranges. If you buy one, you cannot buy the other. Which one would you choose?

**Key Concept:** Opportunity Cost

Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when making a choice. In this case, the opportunity cost of buying apples is the value of oranges you could have bought.

**Question:** How does scarcity affect our daily lives?

Answer: Scarcity affects our daily lives by forcing us to make choices on how to allocate our resources efficiently. For example, we may have to choose between buying a new car or saving money for future investments.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

One real-world scenario where economic theory applies is during periods of high inflation or recession. Governments use fiscal and monetary policies to manage the economy's performance.

**Key Concept:** Fiscal Policy

Fiscal policy involves government actions aimed at influencing the economy's performance through taxation and spending. For example, during a recession, governments may increase spending to stimulate demand and create jobs.

**Question:** How does economic theory help us understand the impact of government policies?

Answer: Economic theory helps us understand the impact of government policies by providing a framework for analyzing the effects of these policies on the economy. For instance, we can use supply and demand models to predict how changes in tax rates will affect consumer behavior.

## Glossary

- Scarcity: Limited availability of resources to satisfy human wants.
- Opportunity Cost: Value of the next best alternative forgone when making a choice.
- Fiscal Policy: Government actions aimed at influencing the economy's performance through taxation and spending.

## Conclusion

Understanding economic theory helps us make informed decisions about resource allocation and evaluate the impact of government policies. By studying this subject, we can develop critical thinking skills and apply them to real-world scenarios.

news, local-news, farming, technology, kangaroo island

Manufacturing of a machine invented on KI that pulverises weed seeds as grain crops are harvested is ramping up to a full commercial launch. Inventor and Kangaroo Island farmer Dr Nick Berry invented the Seed Terminator and founded the company of the same name with his uncle Mark Ashenden. Seed Terminator will produce 100 of its machines ahead of this year's Australian grain harvest, which begins in October. The Seed Terminator is now in its fourth year of production following the release of nine pilot units in 2016, a further 23 in 2017 and 50 last year, which have resulted in 121 full field trials on a range of crop types in major grain growing regions in Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. One machine was also trialled in Canada last year. The machines are already in use on Kangaroo Island with Bellevista Farms having the first CLAAS Seed Terminator on KI for its last harvest. The Seed Terminator can be retrofitted to new and used John Deere, CASE IH, Massey Ferguson, Claas and New Holland Class 7, 8, 9 and 10 harvesters and retails for about A$115,000. The Seed Terminator uses a multi-stage hammer mill to pulverise weed seeds, spreading the sawdust-like debris behind the header. Tests by the University of Adelaide's Weed Science Research Group have shown a 96 to 100 per cent kill of rye grass seeds using the machine. South Australian Grains Industry Trust funded research conducted by Trengove Consulting in 2017 found rye grass weed seed kill was 93 per cent at 2250 rpm and increased to 98 per cent or greater at normal operating speeds (2500-3000 rpm). Results also showed 99 per cent control of several other species including wild radish, brome grass,wild oat, bifora, bedstraw and tares. Mr Ashenden said the product, which has undergone design improvements after every season so far, was ready for full commercial production. He said the latest round of upgrades for the 2019 model included further improvements to wear and power draw and the addition of a "Turn On Turn Off" system for John Deere models. "We think this year is our first true commercial release after three years of trials with a growing number of partners," Mr Ashenden said. "We're designing a manufacturing plan around making 100 units this year and of that about 10 will be for export, 10 purely for research purposes and 80 for domestic sales in Australia. "We've also now engaged multiple dealers of all different brands across Australia and the information they are feeding back to us is brilliant." The "one-pass solution" spreads the nutrient-rich pulverised weed seed debris 10 to 12 metres behind the harvester to act as a fine mulch for soil improvement. It also reduces the need for herbicides and labour intensive burn-offs to keep weeds at bay after harvest. Testing has been focussed on rye grass seeds because of their minuscule size and the fact they are notoriously difficult to kill. Seed Terminator has at least doubled its production every year, beginning with nine units in 2016 and is working with four manufacturers in South Australia and one in Western Australia to establish a modular manufacturing platform to enable continued growth. Mr Ashenden said all of the 81 users had been happy with the performance of the Seed Terminator and its ability to reduce weeds. "I guess we measure satisfaction from the people who are still with us and everyone is still with us," he said. "We want to make a portion for stock this year and then we can work at reducing the time from order to completion to get it down to 4-6 weeks and that's going to be a massive step forward for us. "Last year was about developing the capability of making 100 but stopping at 50. This year it's about proving we can make 100 and working out with those modular systems how quickly we can deliver." The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) estimated in 2016 that weeds cost Australian grain growers about $3.3 billion annually, with yield losses of 2.76 million tonnes. The GRDC also estimated herbicide resistance costs farmers $187 million a year for herbicide treatment and other weed management practices. Up to 10 Seed Terminator units will be sent to North America next month to be trialled in Saskatchewan and Washington State during the next harvest, which will begin in July or August. "Australia produces about 4-5 per cent of the world's grain and we think there's a possibility of about a 10 per cent market share in Australia so that's about 300 a year," Mr Ashenden said. "The potential export market is multiple times more." Article published with permission from The Lead South Australia

Lesson: Building a Successful Career in Venture Capital
Introduction:
Venture capital is an essential component of the startup ecosystem, providing funding and support to promising companies in exchange for equity. A successful career in venture capital requires a combination of financial acumen, strategic thinking, and an ability to identify and evaluate promising investment opportunities. In this lesson, we will explore the key skills and qualities needed to build a successful career in venture capital.
Section 1: Understanding Venture Capital
Topic 1: What is Venture Capital?
Venture capital is a form of private equity investment that provides funding to startups and small businesses with high growth potential. Venture capitalists invest in these companies in exchange for an ownership stake, typically in the form of preferred stock or convertible debt.
Topic 2: How does Venture Capital work?
Venture capital firms raise funds from investors, such as pension funds, endowments, and wealthy individuals, and use these funds to make investments in startups and other early-stage companies. The goal is to generate returns by selling their stakes in these companies when they go public or are acquired by larger companies.
Topic 3: Types of Venture Capital Firms

Q:

Machine Epsilon

I'm trying to evaluate the machine epsilon of my computer (see below). I wrote this:
eps = 1.0;
p = 0;
While[(1.0 + eps) > 1.0, eps = eps/2.0; p += 1];
eps
p
eps*2

and got:
1.42109*10^-14
46
2.84217*10^-14

which is not what I expected (IEEE754). So I did this
EngineeringForm[1.0 + 2 * eps, 20]
EngineeringForm[1.0 + eps, 20]
EngineeringForm[1.0 + (eps/2.0), 20]
EngineeringForm[1.0 + (eps/4.0), 20]
EngineeringForm[1.0 + (eps/16.0), 20]
EngineeringForm[1.0 + (eps/32.0), 20]

and got that:
1.000000000000028
1.000000000000014
1.000000000000007
1.000000000000004
1.000000000000001
1.

which seems to contradict the termination condition of the 'while' loop. So I would like to understand what's going on under Mathematica's hood. I tried to look for some information on Mathematica's internal float representation without success. Any help to explain these results is welcome. I'm sorry if my question is a bit vague.

Lesson: Understanding Machine Epsilon in Mathematica

Introduction:

Machine epsilon is a measure of the difference between two floating-point numbers that are considered equal. In Mathematica, it is used to determine the accuracy of numerical calculations. This lesson will explain what machine epsilon is, how it works in Mathematica, and how to use it to improve the accuracy of numerical calculations.

What is Machine Epsilon?

Machine epsilon is a constant that represents the smallest difference between two floating-point numbers that are considered equal. It is named after John von Neumann, who first proposed the idea in 1948. In Mathematica, machine epsilon is represented by the symbol eps.

How does Machine Epsilon work in Mathematica?

In Mathematica, machine epsilon is used to determine the accuracy of numerical calculations. When two numbers are compared, Mathematica considers them equal if their difference is less than machine epsilon. This means that if you want to calculate the accuracy of a calculation, you can compare the result to the value of eps.

Example:

Suppose you want to calculate the area of a circle with a radius of 1. Using the formula for the area of a circle, you would expect the answer to be π. However, due to rounding errors, the actual answer will be slightly different. To determine the accuracy of the calculation, you can compare the result to machine epsilon.

```
Area = N[CircleArea[1, 10], 10]
eps = MachineEpsilon
If[Abs[Area - π] < eps, "The answer is close to π", "The answer is not close to π"]
```

Output:
```
The answer is close to π
```

This means that the calculated area is within the range of machine epsilon of π, which means that the answer is accurate to within a small tolerance.

Practical Examples:

Here are some practical examples of how to use machine epsilon in Mathematica:

1. Checking the accuracy of a calculation:

```
x = 10;
y = 10;
z = x + y;
If[Abs[z - 20] < eps, "The sum is correct", "The sum is not correct"]
```

2. Adjusting the tolerance for accuracy:

```
x = 10;
y = 10;
z = x + y;
NMinimize[z - 20, {x, y}, Tolerance -> eps]
```

3. Comparing two values for equality:

```
a = 10;
b = 10;
If[a == b, "The values are equal", "The values are not equal"]
```

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about machine epsilon in Mathematica and how to use it to improve the accuracy of numerical calculations. By understanding machine epsilon, we can ensure that our calculations are accurate and reliable.

Lesson Title: Sustainable Agriculture in Urban Environments

## Introduction
In this lesson, we will explore the concept of sustainable agriculture in urban environments. We will learn about the benefits of growing food locally, the challenges of farming in an urban setting, and the techniques used to overcome these challenges. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the importance of sustainable agriculture and its impact on our community.

## Section 1: What is Sustainable Agriculture?
Sustainable agriculture is a way of farming that focuses on producing food while preserving the environment and supporting the community. It involves using natural resources in a way that is economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. This means that farmers use methods that are not harmful to the environment and do not deplete natural resources.

## Section 2: Why is Sustainable Agriculture Important?
Sustainable agriculture is important because it helps to reduce the environmental impact of farming. When farmers use sustainable methods, they are less likely to use pesticides and other chemicals that can harm the environment. This means that the air and water around us are cleaner and safer for people and wildlife.

Sustainable agriculture also helps to support local communities. When farmers grow food locally, it reduces the amount of energy needed to transport the food to stores. This means that more money stays in the community and supports local businesses.

## Section 3: How is Sustainable Agriculture Practiced in Urban Environments?
In urban environments, sustainable agriculture can be practiced in many ways. One way is by using rooftop gardens, like the one at Ryerson University. Another way is by using vertical gardens, which allow for more plants to be grown in a smaller space.

Farmers in urban environments also use techniques like hydroponics, which involves growing plants without soil. This allows for more efficient use of space and water. Additionally, farmers may use composting and recycling programs to reduce waste and promote sustainability.

## Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, sustainable agriculture is an important practice that has many benefits for both the environment and the community. By growing food locally and using sustainable methods, we can reduce our impact on the environment and support our local economy. Through this lesson, we have learned about the importance of sustainable agriculture and how it can be practiced in urban environments. We hope that you will take this knowledge with you and apply it to your own life, whether you are a farmer or simply someone who enjoys eating fresh, local produce.

Section 1: Finding Reliable Sources

Topic 1: Understanding Search Engines
- Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are tools that help us find information on the internet.
- They use algorithms to rank websites based on relevance and popularity.
- The higher the ranking, the more likely the website will appear at the top of the search results.

Topic 2: Using Keywords
- Keywords are words or phrases that help us describe what we are looking for.
- When searching for information, it's essential to use keywords that accurately reflect your query.
- For example, if you are looking for information on the Great Wall of China, you might use keywords such as "Great Wall," "Chinese architecture," or "historical landmarks."

Topic 3: Evaluating Websites
- Not all websites are created equal. Some are more reliable than others.
- When evaluating a website, consider the following factors:
  - Authority: Who created the website? Are they an expert on the subject matter?
  - Accuracy: Is the information on the website accurate and factual?
  - Objectivity: Is the website presenting information in an unbiased manner?
  - Currency: How up-to-date is the information on the website?

Section 2: Evaluating Credibility

Topic 1: Understanding Credibility
- Credibility refers to the trustworthiness of a source.
- When evaluating credibility, consider the following factors:
  - Authority: Who wrote the article? Are they an expert on the subject matter?
  - Accuracy: Is the information presented accurate and factual?
  - Objectivity: Is the article presenting information in an unbiased manner?

- It can be challenging to identify fake news, but here are some tips:
  - Check the source: Is the website known for spreading misinformation or promoting conspiracy theories?
  - Look for evidence: Does the article provide facts and statistics to back up its claims?
  - Consider the timing: Is the article published during a time when it could cause maximum damage or distrust?
  - Use critical thinking: Does the article seem too good (or too bad) to be true?

Section 3: Using Information Wisely

Topic 1: Answering Questions
- Once you have found reliable sources and evaluated their credibility, it's time to use the information you gather to answer questions and make informed decisions.
- Ask yourself: What am I trying to learn? What information do I need to gather?
- Use the information you have gathered to create a summary or an outline of the main points.

Topic 2: Making Connections
- As you gather information, try to make connections between different sources.
- This will help you see the bigger picture and understand the topic better.
- For example, if you are researching climate change, you might compare and contrast the causes and effects of climate change as presented by different sources.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned how to find reliable sources, evaluate their credibility, and use the information we gather to answer questions and make informed decisions. By following these steps, we can become savvy internet users who can navigate the digital world with confidence and accuracy.
