Last week I attended a study tour of Iceland with the ELEEP group. Basing ourselves in Reykjavik – along with 60% of Iceland’s whole population – we met with several large organisations including a major fishing corperation HB Grandi, Iceland’s largest bank Landsbankinn and national power company Landsvirkjun. From each of these we heard how their corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies were developing since the financial crisis which had hit Iceland so hard, and which made the meaning of sustainable development very real for Icelandic business. We also visited a state of the art geothermal power plant owned by Reykjavik Energy and a hydropower plant which has been producing emissions free electricity since the 1950s.

Unique human and physical geography

Iceland has a small population of only 330,000 people – the equivalent of Coventry, UK – but is blessed with a wealth of natural resources and a unique culture. Being at the intersection of major tectonic plates, Iceland is well known for its natural geothermal pools, and explosive geysers.

It is only in recent decades however that Iceland has begun to harness its natural energy resources. Until the start of the 20th century, Icelanders used imported coal and oil for heating and electricity generation, until the first small scale hydro power station was constructed in 1904. It’s transition to renewable energy began early though, with 12% of its energy being provided by hydro electricity even in 1940.

Demand for electricity is growing rapidly in Iceland, and in response it has been building new hydropower and geothermal power stations.

Icelink

I recently wrote a briefing note on underwater interconnectors planned to connect the UK electricity grid to its European neighbours, including the 1000km long 1MW ‘Icelink’. It was fascinating to hear the Icelandic perspective on this project from Asbjorg, who had been the Icelink project manager before working on the new extension at Búrfell. Having completed a feasibility study and economic assessment, the decision whether to go ahead with the major project now sits with members of Iceland’s parliament (pictured right).

According to Ásbjörg, the decision is as much about the costs and benefits for the electricity market as it is about the symbolic connection of the isolated island to its neighbours.

Efficiency and emissions

With abundant supply of cheap, low carbon electricity, a number of participants on the study tour observed that many of the basics signs of energy efficiency were not being practiced in Reykjavik. Our apartment and the various industrial premises we visited were all lit by halogen or incandescent bulbs, and frequently overheated. For those of us working on efficiency as the first priority for tackling climate change, it was a strange cognitive adjustment to think that energy conservation was not as high a priority in Iceland where energy is cheap, clean and abundant.

However, we learned on the trip that while geothermal electricity is renewable, it is not free of greenhouse gas emissions. While 99.5% of the gas released from geothermal bore holes is water vapour, 0.4% is carbon dioxide, meaning that for every kWh of electricity produced, around 50 grams of CO2 is released into the atmosphere. This compares very favourably to coal fired power stations which produce over 1kg/kWh, but presents a challenge for Reykjavik’s ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. According to Reykjavik Energy however, there is some potential for capturing and re-injecting carbon dioxide into deep geothermal bore holes, and at the Hellisheidi geothermal power plant we visited on the trip the company has already started to sequester 10% of its annual CO2 emissions.

Conclusion

It is not surprising that Iceland is becoming an increasingly attractive place for tourists from all over the world, with its outstanding natural beauty, tectonic activity and unique brand of Scandinavian culture. Having already completed its transition to renewable electricity, it is now seeking to further exploit its natural resources to support its sustainable development. For a group of young energy professionals it was a fascinating and awe inspiring place to visit. As a UK citizen, I hope that the Icelandic parliament do decide to go ahead with Icelink, and that we become increasingly connected – by more than just electricity.

Thanks go to the ELEEP members who organised the tour, and to the Atlantic Council for subsidising the trip.

Coke & Chevron Help to Fight AIDS

This made me so happy I just about jumped out of my chair. My ‘beloved’ Coke Company announced on Capitol Hill that they along with (RED) and Chevron joined the Global Fight Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. From assistance in drug delivery, to supplying much-needed resources, to mobilizing consumer markets, to in-country partnerships, these mega corporations are giving back. The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is woven into the groups which all play unique and essential roles in partnering with the Global Fund to save and improve lives around the globe.

“Partnerships have been absolutely fundamental to the Global Fund model since its creation,” said Dr. Christoph Benn, Director of Resource Mobilization and Donor Relations for the Global Fund.

Since its creation in 2002, the Global Fund has become the main financier of programs to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, with approved funding of US$ 22.6 billion for more than 1,000 programs in 150 countries (as of December 1, 2011). To date, programs supported by the Global Fund are providing AIDS treatment for 3.3 million people, anti-tuberculosis treatment for 8.6 million people and 230 million insecticide-treated nets for the prevention of malaria. The Global Fund works in close collaboration with other bilateral and multilateral organizations to supplement existing efforts in dealing with the three diseases.

Lesson: Introduction to Abstract Algebra

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Abstract Algebra is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of algebraic structures, such as groups, rings, and fields. It is a highly advanced and specialized area of mathematics that requires a strong foundation in basic algebra, geometry, and number theory. In this lesson, we will introduce some of the key concepts and ideas that are central to abstract algebra.

### Topic 1: Groups

A group is a set G of objects that can be combined together in pairs to form a new object. The combination operation must satisfy the following four properties:

1. Closure: For all x, y in G, the result of combining x and y (denoted as xy) is also in G.
2. Associativity: For all x, y, z in G, (xy)z = x(yz).
3. Identity: There exists an identity element e in G such that for every x in G, xe = eix = x.
4. Inverse: For every x in G, there exists an inverse element x' such that xx' = e and x'x = e.

Examples of groups include the set of integers under addition, the set of 2x2 matrices with determinant 1 under matrix multiplication, and the set of symmetries of a regular polygon under composition.

### Topic 2: Rings

A ring is a set R of objects that can be combined together in pairs to form a new object, with the following properties:

1. Closure: For all x, y in R, the result of combining x and y (denoted as xy) is also in R.
2. Associativity: For all x, y, z in R, (xy)z = x(yz).
3. Identity: There exists an identity element 0 in R such that for every x in R, 0x = x0 = x.
4. Inverse: For every x in R, there exists an inverse element x' such that xx' = e and x'x = e.
5. Distributive law: For all x, y in R, xy = yx.

Examples of rings include the set of integers under addition, the set of 2x2 matrices with determinant 1 under matrix multiplication, and the set of polynomials under polynomial addition.

### Topic 3: Fields

A field is a set F of objects that can be combined together in pairs to form a new object, with the following properties:

1. Closure: For all x, y in F, the result of combining x and y (denoted as xy) is also in F.
2. Associativity: For all x, y, z in F, (xy)z = x(yz).
3. Identity: There exists an identity element 0 in F such that for every x in F, 0x = x0 = x.
4. Inverse: For every x in F, there exists an inverse element x' such that xx' = e and x'x = e.
5. Distributive law: For all x, y in F, xy = yx.
6. Commutative law: For all x, y in F, xy = yx.
7. Multiplicative inverse: For every x in F, there exists an inverse element x' such that x'x = e and x'x' = e.

Examples of fields include the set of integers under addition, the set of complex numbers under addition, and the set of rational numbers under addition.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a few practical examples to illustrate the concepts introduced in the previous section.

### Example 1: Symmetries of a regular hexagon

The set of symmetries of a regular hexagon forms a group under composition. The group has six elements: six rotations of the hexagon by multiples of 60 degrees. The group is closed (the composition of two symmetries is always another symmetry), associative (the composition of symmetries does not depend on the order in which they are composed), and has an identity element (the absence of rotation).

### Example 2: Addition of polynomials

Consider the set of all polynomials with integer coefficients. The set forms a ring under polynomial addition. The ring is closed (the sum of two polynomials is always another polynomial), associative (the order of the summands does not affect the result), and has an identity element (the zero polynomial). The set also has inverses for each polynomial (subtraction of the polynomial multiplied by the appropriate constant), and the distributive law holds.

### Example 3: Matrix multiplication

Consider the set of 2x2 matrices with integer coefficients. The set forms a ring under matrix multiplication. The ring is closed (the product of two matrices is always another matrix), associative (the order of the factors does not affect the result), and has an identity element (the zero matrix). The set also has inverses for each matrix (matrix division by the appropriate constant), and the distributive law holds.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

1. Why are groups, rings, and fields important in mathematics?
2. How are groups, rings, and fields related to other areas of mathematics?
3. Can you give an example of a group, ring, or field that is not mentioned in the lesson?

## Glossary

- Group: A set of objects that can be combined together in pairs to form a new object, satisfying certain properties.
- Ring: A set of objects that can be combined together in pairs to form a new object, satisfying certain properties.
- Field: A set of objects that can be combined together in pairs to form a new object, satisfying certain properties.

Lesson: The Importance of Vaccinations

Introduction:
Vaccinations are an essential part of public health and have saved millions of lives around the world. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of vaccinations, how they work, and why they are necessary.

Section 1: What are vaccinations?
Vaccinations are a type of medication that helps protect us from diseases. They contain weakened or killed germs that our bodies can fight off without getting sick. When our immune system fights these germs, it learns how to recognize and fight similar germs in the future.

Section 2: Why are vaccinations important?
Vaccinations are important because they prevent the spread of diseases and save lives. When a large number of people are vaccinated against a disease, it becomes more difficult for the disease to spread. This is called herd immunity. Herd immunity protects people who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons or allergies.

Section 3: How do vaccinations work?
Vaccinations work by training our immune system to recognize and fight off specific germs. When we get vaccinated, our body produces a special protein called an antibody. These antibodies help us fight off the germs that cause the disease. If we are exposed to the same germs in the future, our body remembers how to fight them off, and we don't get sick.

Section 4: What are some common vaccinations?
Some common vaccinations include the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, the polio vaccine, the hepatitis B vaccine, and the flu vaccine. There are many other vaccinations available, and it is essential to consult with a doctor to determine which vaccinations are right for you or your child.

Section 5: Why are vaccinations necessary?
Vaccinations are necessary because they protect us from dangerous diseases that could cause severe illness or even death. Some diseases, like polio, have been almost entirely eradicated thanks to vaccinations. However, if we stop vaccinating people, these diseases could come back.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, vaccinations are an essential part of public health and have saved millions of lives around the world. By getting vaccinated, we are not only protecting ourselves but also helping to protect others in our community. Remember, the best way to prevent the spread of diseases is through vaccination.

Lesson: Introduction to Computer Networks

**Section 1: What is a Computer Network?**

A computer network is a group of devices connected together to communicate and share resources. These devices can include computers, printers, servers, and other hardware components. Networks can be small, such as a home network, or large, such as a global internet.

**Section 2: Types of Networks**

There are several types of networks, including:

1. LAN (Local Area Network): A network that connects devices within a small geographic area, such as a home or office.
2. WAN (Wide Area Network): A network that connects devices over a large geographic area, such as a city or country.
3. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network): A wireless network that connects devices within a small geographic area.
4. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): A network that connects devices within a metropolitan area.
5. VPN (Virtual Private Network): A network that connects devices over the internet as if they were on a private network.

**Section 3: Components of a Network**

There are several components that make up a network, including:

1. NIC (Network Interface Card): A hardware component that allows a device to connect to a network.
2. Switch: A device that connects multiple devices together and forwards data between them.
3. Router: A device that directs traffic between networks.
4. Hub: A device that connects multiple devices together and broadcasts data to all devices.
5. Gateway: A device that acts as an entrance point to a network.

**Section 4: Protocols**

Protocols are sets of rules that devices use to communicate on a network. Some common protocols include:

1. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): A protocol that ensures reliable data transmission between devices.
2. IP (Internet Protocol): A protocol that provides addressing and routing services for data transmission.
3. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): A protocol that transfers web pages and other files between devices.

**Section 5: Practical Examples**

Let's say you have a home network with a computer, a printer, and a smartphone. You want to print a document from your computer to your printer. Here's how it would work:

1. Your computer sends the document to the printer using TCP and IP.
2. The printer receives the document and starts printing it.
3. Your smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer and printer.
4. Your smartphone sends a request to the printer to check the status of the document.
5. The printer responds to your smartphone's request using TCP and IP.
6. Your smartphone receives the response from the printer and displays a message saying that the document has been printed.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about computer networks, their types, components, and protocols. We also explored a practical example of how devices communicate on a network. By understanding these concepts, we can apply them to other networks and problems we encounter in the future.

Reciprocal changes in intracellular and extracellular magnesium in rat pancreatic acinar cells in response to different secretagogues.
This study employs the fluorescent bioprobe Mag-fura-2 to measure the mobilisation of magnesium (Mg2+) in rat pancreatic acinar cells at rest and during stimulation with either cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8; 10(-8) M), acetylcholine (ACh; 10(-5) M) or histamine (10(-4) M). In Mag-fura-2 loaded acini suspended in normal Krebs-Ringer-Hepes (KRH) solution containing (mMol/litre) NaCL, 130; KCI, 5; HEPES, 20; KH2PO4, 1.2; CaCl2, 1.0; MgSO4, 1.0; glucose, 10; minimum essential medium, 1.0 ml/Litre and pH 7.4, both CCK-8 and ACh evoked a transient rise in intracellular free Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]i) followed by a sustained and prolonged decrease. Addition of CCK-8 to acinar cell suspension previously stimulated with ACh resulted in little or no change in [Mg2+]i indicating that the two secretagogues are mobilising magnesium from the same intracellular pool. Histamine had no significant effect on [Mg2+]i or on the CCK-8 evoked response. When acini were challenged in the presence of the cell-impermeant form of Mag-fura-2 (the tetrapotassium salt) in a Ca(2+)-free KRH solution containing 1-mM EGTA, CCK-8 and ACh, stimulation resulted in a gradual release of magnesium reaching a maximum after 300-350 s following application of the secretagogues (magnesium efflux). Again histamine had no effect on magnesium release. Incubation of acinar cells in a nominally magnesium-free KRH solution had no effect on basal [Mg2+]o. When challenged with CCK-8, [Mg2+]i rose transiently, followed by a sustained decrease. In contrast, ACh stimulation resulted in a triphasic response comprising an initial rise followed by a decrease, superceded by a small rise in [Mg2+]i. Again histamine had no effect on [Mg2+]i in nominally magnesium-free solution. Addition of either ACh or CCK-8 to cells placed in KRH solution with no added Mg2+ caused a small efflux of magnesium, as measured in the presence of the tetrapotassium salt of Mag-fura-2 (cell-impermeant form). These results, employing two different forms of a fluorescent bioprobe for the measurement of magnesium, indicate that unlike histamine, CCK-8 and ACh can evoke marked changes in intracellular free magnesium concentration during the stimulus-secretion coupling process.

Lesson: Introduction to Magnesium in Biology

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about magnesium, an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. We will cover the following topics:

1. What is magnesium?
2. Where can we find magnesium in our bodies?
3. What are the roles of magnesium in biological processes?
4. How do secretagogues affect magnesium levels in pancreatic acinar cells?

### Section 1: What is magnesium?
Magnesium is a chemical element with the symbol Mg and atomic number 12. It is a light, silvery-white, and shiny alkaline earth metal. Magnesium is an essential mineral that is naturally present in many foods, such as leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fish. It is also available as a dietary supplement.

### Section 2: Where can we find magnesium in our bodies?
Magnesium is present in our bodies in several forms. It is an essential component of many enzymes, including those involved in DNA synthesis, protein production, and energy metabolism. Magnesium also plays a crucial role in maintaining the electrical activity of nerve and muscle cells. Approximately 50-60% of magnesium in the body is found in bones, while the rest is distributed in soft tissues, blood, and cells.

### Section 3: What are the roles of magnesium in biological processes?
Magnesium has several important roles in biological processes, including:

1. Enzyme activation: Magnesium is a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes, including those involved in DNA synthesis, protein production, and energy metabolism.
2. Electrolyte balance: Magnesium helps maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body, which is essential for proper nerve and muscle function.
3. Bone health: Magnesium is necessary for the formation and maintenance of bones.
4. Energy production: Magnesium plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats to produce energy.
5. Muscle relaxation: Magnesium helps regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles.

### Section 4: How do secretagogues affect magnesium levels in pancreatic acinar cells?
Secretagogues are substances that stimulate the release of secretions from cells, such as hormones or neurotransmitters. In this study, researchers used fluorescent bioprobes to measure the mobilization of magnesium in rat pancreatic acinar cells in response to different secretagogues, including cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8), acetylcholine (ACh), and histamine.

The results showed that both CCK-8 and ACh evoked a transient rise in intracellular free magnesium concentration ([Mg2+]i) followed by a sustained and prolonged decrease. This indicates that the two secretagogues are mobilizing magnesium from the same intracellular pool. However, histamine had no significant effect on [Mg2+]i or on the CCK-8 evoked response.

In summary, secretagogues can affect magnesium levels in pancreatic acinar cells by mobilizing magnesium from the same intracellular pool. This suggests that magnesium may play a role in the secretion process triggered by these substances.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about magnesium, its importance in biological processes, and its role in the response of pancreatic acinar cells to secretagogues. We covered topics such as magnesium's role in enzyme activation, electrolyte balance, bone health, energy production, and muscle relaxation. By understanding the role of magnesium in these processes, we can appreciate its significance in maintaining overall health and well-being.

Lesson: Introduction to International Rugby League

### Overview

This lesson will introduce students to the sport of international Rugby League. We will explore the history, rules, and structure of the game, as well as its global popularity. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand the basic concepts of the game, recognize its significance in different parts of the world, and appreciate the skill and athleticism required to play at an international level.

### Section 1: History of International Rugby League

Rugby League is a sport that originated in England in 1895. It was created when a group of players broke away from the Rugby Union to form their own organization. The main reason for this split was the desire to pay players for their services, which was not allowed under the rules of the Rugby Union. Since then, the sport has grown to become one of the most popular team sports in the world, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea.

### Section 2: Rules of International Rugby League

International Rugby League is played by two teams of thirteen players each. The objective of the game is to score points by running with the ball, passing it, or kicking it over the goal line. A try is worth four points, while a conversion (kicking the ball through the goal posts) is worth two points. A penalty or drop goal (kicking the ball between the goal posts without it touching the ground) is worth one point. The team with the most points at the end of the match wins.

There are several rules that make Rugby League unique. For example, players can pass or run with the ball, but they cannot hold it for more than six seconds. If a player is tackled and holds onto the ball for too long, it is considered a "ruck" and the opposing team can gain possession. Additionally, there are no "off-sides" calls in Rugby League, meaning that players can move around the field freely without fear of being penalized for being in the wrong position.

### Section 3: Structure of International Rugby League

International Rugby League is governed by the International Rugby League Board (IRLB), which is responsible for organizing and regulating the sport at a global level. The IRLB is made up of representatives from different countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, France, and Papua New Guinea. These countries compete in the Rugby League World Cup, which is held every four years and is considered the most prestigious international tournament in the sport.

### Section 4: Popularity of International Rugby League

International Rugby League is particularly popular in Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea. In these countries, the sport is broadcast on national television and attracts large crowds to stadiums. However, the game is also gaining popularity in other parts of the world, including Europe and the Americas. This growth can be attributed to increased exposure through media coverage and the expansion of professional leagues.

### Section 5: Skill and Athleticism in International Rugby League

Playing International Rugby League requires a high level of skill and athleticism. Players must be able to run quickly, change direction suddenly, and make precise passes and kicks. They must also be strong and agile enough to withstand the physical demands of the game, including tackles and rucks. In addition, players must have excellent hand-eye coordination and be able to think quickly on their feet.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, International Rugby League is a fascinating and exciting sport that has a rich history and a growing global following. By understanding the rules, structure, and popularity of the game, students can appreciate the skill and athleticism required to play at an international level. Whether they become fans or simply enjoy learning about the sport, students will undoubtedly find this lesson engaging and informative.

text: Green Initiatives. We Care.. Waves Car Wash is environmentally friendly. We recycle our water, and use 80% less water than a typical driveway car wash. We have three 1500-gallon water reclaim tanks that store wastewater from your vehicle. This water is then pumped through two filters and injected with Ozone to kill bacteria. The cleaned reclaim water is then pumped onto cars through certain stages, including the high pressure arch and underwash. Our car wash only uses about 20 gallons of water per car, about the equivalent of an 8 minute shower.. Waves Car Wash has 160 230-watt solar panels that generate 40,000 kwh of electricity a year, enough to supply 20% of our power needs. If we are not busy, excess electricity is supplied to the grid and will power nearby homes and businesses.. Our high efficiency blowers that dry your car run on special Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)s. These VFDs lower the electrical demand usage and allow us to decrease the speed of the motors depending on the season..

Lesson: Introduction to Green Initiatives

**Objective:** To introduce students to green initiatives and their importance in protecting the environment.

**Glossary:**
- Green initiatives: actions taken to reduce environmental harm
- Recycle: to process used materials into new products
- Wastewater: water that has been used and needs to be treated before being returned to the environment
- Bacteria: tiny living organisms that can cause disease or damage to other organisms
- Solar panels: devices that convert sunlight into electricity
- Electricity: power that is generated by moving electrons
- Grid: a network of wires and equipment that carries electricity
- Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): devices that control the speed of electric motors

**Section 1: Introduction to Green Initiatives**

Green initiatives are actions taken to reduce environmental harm. They help protect the Earth's resources and prevent pollution. There are many types of green initiatives, such as recycling, reducing energy usage, and using renewable energy sources.

**Section 2: Water Reclamation**

Waves Car Wash is an example of a business that has implemented a green initiative. They recycle their water, which means they collect used water and filter it to remove dirt and bacteria. They then use ozone to kill any remaining bacteria before reusing the water to clean cars. This process uses 80% less water than a typical driveway car wash, which helps conserve this valuable resource.

**Section 3: Solar Power**

Another green initiative used by Waves Car Wash is the installation of solar panels. These panels generate electricity from the sun, which is then used to power the car wash. If there is extra electricity, it is sent back to the grid to power nearby homes and businesses. This reduces the amount of electricity that comes from non-renewable sources, such as coal or oil.

**Section 4: Energy Efficiency**

The high-efficiency blowers used to dry cars at Waves Car Wash also contribute to the green initiative. They use Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to control their speed, which lowers the electrical demand and reduces energy usage.

**Conclusion:**

Green initiatives are important because they help protect the environment and reduce our impact on it. By implementing green initiatives, we can conserve resources, reduce pollution, and create a more sustainable future. As you learn more about these initiatives, think about how you can apply them in your own life and make a positive impact on the world around you.
