Cairn acquired Conoco's UK onshore acreage in 1988 and became one of the largest operators of UK onshore oil production with the Palmers Wood oil field just south of London, near Junction 6 of the M25,[5] Humbly Grove (near Basingstoke) and others. Cairn's expansion started with a substantial (non-operated) gas discovery (East Cameron 331) in the Gulf of Mexico in 1993 followed by another large gas discovery at Sangu, offshore Bangladesh near Chittagong, in 1996.[6] In parallel, Cairn launched a series of takeovers of public listed companies – Teredo Petroleum in 1994,[7] Holland Sea Search NV in 1995[8] and Command Petroleum in 1996.[9] In 1996, Cairn farmed out a 25% interest in the Sangu field to Halliburton in return for Halliburton bearing a 50% share of the development costs.[10] In 1997, it sold half of all its Bangladeshi interests to Royal Dutch Shell in return for Shell assuming a $330 million carry of Cairn's exploration and development costs.[11] This agreement gave Cairn an interest in Shell's huge acreage position in Rajasthan onshore in North West India. Cairn drilled two unsuccessful exploration wells and Shell then sold its 50% share to Cairn for $7.5 million: Cairn's third well, now 100% owned, found the Mangala oil field.[12] In December 2010, Cairn agreed to sell a stake of 58.5% of Cairn India, its Indian focused subsidiary, to Vedanta Resources for $8.67 billion.[13]...

...presumed to be put in place in the near future within the internationally acclaimed organisation. Qantas Airlines are looking to areas of the country that don’t necessarily make the desired level of profit for the company as a whole and are also reducing the amount of useless company bases located both internationally and within Australia. Of particular interest and concern are job losses that will take place within the coastal city of Cairns. It can be noted from the article provided that not only are Qantas performing these redundancies very severely but also in an insensitive and unaccommodating manner. Currently, 110 Cairns employees will lose their permanent full – time positions to redundancy. Qantas staff were to attend an hour long meeting at the Reef Hotel Casino on the 27th of February where the following announcement was made; “Employees have two and a half months to move to a major Qantas base of their choice or accept a voluntary redundancy payout.” A Qantas spokeswoman announced that the closure was due to a reduction of flights to Cairns over the past...

This energy takes the following forms: 1. Work 2. Thermal Energy 3. Waste products Work The amount of bodily energy converted into work is not very great - 0% for a body at rest, 20% when walking up a one in four gradient at 10km/h. Thermal Energy Most of the energy produced by the bodily metabolism is dissipated as heat to the environment. The mechanism for this is seen in the next overhead. Waste Products The remainder of the energy produced is dissipated in waste products. thermal energy Thermal energy is released through an interaction of chemical changes occurring within the body and muscular contractions.

...Garima Sharma has quite some experience in terms of handling relationships : she was the head of human resources at Norton Network for 10 years before joining Ferro, and has been entrusted by her husband to organize Metal Star's representative, Sheikh Yusuf's trip to India to inspect the product he coveted. We believe her decision to release the shipment was a wise one for many reasons. First of all, 45% of Ferro's revenues come from foreign operations, 5 of the top 10 Ferro's clients are foreign, and although Metal Star isn't one of them, it cannot be ignored as the company had agreed to buy 6 machines for 10 million INR. Plus, with both the domestic and foreign competition that can offer pretty much the same high-quality machines at lower prices, Ferro needs every deal they can strike in order to manage to get the company through with its investment plan and get up to speed in terms of cutting-edge technology. In a nutshell, Ferro needs to find a solution which satisfies both parties. Garima is known to have a good and quick understanding of people's traits, which makes her able to offer customized treatments to her clients, even during turmoiled times (i.e payment crisis with Sheikh Yusuf). And this is exactly what she has done by finally agreeing to split the demurrages between Ferro and Metal Star before eventually releasing the machines to Yusuf, in hope of receiving payment. I don't think there would have been any better solution, as some other ways have already...

...Running head: HEAT 1 Heat Adrienne Branch Professor Olivia Uitto Science 110- Introduction to Physical Science April 27, 2012 HEAT 2 How does the study of heat relate to the kinetic theory of matter? The philosophers Democritus and Lucretius stated that matter is composed of particles. They also believed that these particles were in constant motion and in the state of solid, liquid, or gas (Gibbs, 2010). They called this theory the Kinetic Theory of Matter after the word kinema, which is Greek (Gibbs, 2010). In the study of heat we learn that whenever heat is added to a substance, molecules and atoms vibrate faster. Due to the quickly vibrating atoms, the area between the atoms get larger (“Atoms and Molecules”, n.d.). The state of the matter of the particular substance is determined by the motion and space between the particles. The more an object expands, the more space it takes up (“Atoms and Molecules”, n.d.). During this process, the mass of the particular object will not change. Solids, liquids, and gas all expand when heat is added. When an object cools, molecules vibrate at a slower pace. The atoms start moving closer together again and the matter begins to contract. During this process as well, the mass will remain the same (“Atoms and Molecules”, n.d.). Several good examples of the Kinetic Theory of Matter relating to heat is with sidewalks and railroad tracks which are solids. They expand...

...Lithonia, GA Campus Physical Sience - Professor Freeman July 19, 2012 Discuss how energy can be converted from one form to another, giving specific examples. Today there are many different forms of energy and they all have the ability to transform produce change and to do work. How energy is converted from to another is based on the law of conservation of energy. “The law of conservation of energy is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred or transformed from one form to another including transformation into or from mass, as matter.” Examples of energy are those that follow: Mechanical energy stored or moving energy also referred to as potential or kinetic energy, electrical energy the movement of electrons, thermal energy heat of an object, and radiant energy light and warmth of the sun are all energies that can be converted to another form of energy. For example, the chemical energy stored in the muscles of our legs is converted to kinetic energy or mechanical energy when we pedal, a toaster oven plugged into an electrical socket takes electrical energy and converts it to heat/thermal energy, and radiant energy converted to heat energy provided by the sun that heats earth. Define what we mean by fossil fuels and explain why there are attractive sources of energy. Fossil fuels are also natural resources of energy that is a product of millions of years of decomposed plant and animal pressured by heat trapped underground...

...Kinetic Theory Objectives • Describe how the kinetic-molecular theory is used to explain how gases behave at different temperatures. (Exploration 1) • Analyze data that shows how gas particle mass affects that gas’s behavior. (Exploration 2) • Describe the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution. (Explorations 1 and 2) Description of Activity The kinetic-molecular theory states that a collection of gas molecules’ average kinetic energy has a specific value at any given temperature. In this activity, you will study how temperature and gas particle mass affect the frequency distribution of gas particle speeds. You will examine and analyze speed frequency distribution graphs. This distribution is called the Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution. Jump Start 1. What is kinetic energy? 2. What is thermal energy? 3. What happens to a gas’s thermal energy as that gas’s temperature increases? 4. What happens to the average speeds of the particles in a gas when one increases that gas’s temperature?

...PREFACE Adam Jefferson, a divine manifest of Adam Smith's materialism and Thomas Jefferson's idealism, is our troubled modern day hero. He awoke in the middle of his life - broke and lost. A serial entrepreneur, his life was a never-ending quest for material success. At age 38, as Joseph Campbell forewarned humanity, Adam had "climbed the ladder of success, only to realize it was propped up against the wrong wall." Alone, with nothing else to lose, Adam Jefferson climbed down off of the ladder and searched for the wall of his future. This led him on a 100-day odyssey to start the ascent of his new life, an epic journey which called him across the world discussing today's challenges and opportunities with the great minds of our past - Carl Jung, Mary Parker-Follett, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, Albert Einstein, and many others. An act of their collective genius and magical combustion, a psychological and sociological theory for sustainability and success was formed. Like all heroic quests, Adam ended where he had begun. Prior to his expedition, Adam had an unforgettable encounter with one of the great minds of the 20th century. One freezing, early morning on January 17, 2009, Adam Jefferson met the famed Harvard psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They walked the beach in Winthrop for hours, discussing morality and the questions one ponders in the solitude of despair. They exchange woes - "You tell me yours, and I will tell you mine."...

...types of energy: thermal energy from the sun's heat, andmechanical energy from the tides and waves. Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface, making them the world's largest solar collectors. The sun's heat warms the surface water a lot more than the deep ocean water, and this temperature difference creates thermal energy. Just a small portion of the heat trapped in the ocean could power the world. Workers install equipment for an ocean thermal energy conversion experiment in 1994 at Hawaii's Natural Energy Laboratory. Credit: A. Resnick, Makai Ocean Engineering, Inc. Ocean thermal energy is used for many applications, including electricity generation. There are three types of electricity conversion systems: closed-cycle, open-cycle, and hybrid. Closed-cycle systems use the ocean's warm surface water to vaporize a working fluid, which has a low-boiling point, such as ammonia. The vapor expands and turns a turbine. The turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. Open-cycle systems actually boil the seawater by operating at low pressures. This produces steam that passes through a turbine/generator. And hybrid systems combine both closed-cycle and open-cycle systems. Ocean mechanical energy is quite different from ocean thermal energy. Even though the sun affects all ocean activity, tides are driven primarily by the gravitational pull of the moon, and waves are driven primarily by the winds. As a result, tides and waves are intermittent sources of energy, while...
