Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time by Tony Schwartz and Catherine McCarthy The science of stamina has advanced to the point where individuals, teams, and whole organizations can, with some straightforward interventions, significantly increase their capacity to get things done. Steve Wanner is a highly respected 37-year-old partner at Ernst & Young, married with four young children. When we met him a year ago, he was working 12- to 14-hour days, felt perpetually exhausted, and found it difficult

Flow of energy as we drop an egg from our hand. Everything happens due to a change in energy. Energy change is the unstoppable tendency of energy to flow from high concentrations of energy to lower concentrations of energy. Every time when energy changes from one form to the other some of it becomes less useful. That is the unchangeable result of becoming less concentrated. Energy is concentrated in the egg as gravitational potential energy. Potential energy is concentrated energy waiting for its

from exchanging BOTH matter & energy with its surroundings. * Both matter and energy within the system are fixed & finite because none can enter and none can leave the system. * Imaginary – impossible for any real boundary to be so perfectly insulated that energy can neither enter or escape. 2. Closed system * Boundary permits the exchange of energy, but not matter within its surroundings * Matter within the system is finite but energy is exchangeable in and out of the

promotes biodiversity. They frequently fall victim to anthropogenic causes of local extinction and subsequently, have often been the subjects of conservation efforts involving reintroduction programs. As land-use changes restrict ranges and reduce prey for large carnivores, the trend towards local extinction is set to increase; therefore ex-situ conservation is likely to be increasingly prevalent. Reintroduction programmes are divided into two distinct parts. The first part is pre-release, which includes

Conservation by relocation looks to move people, and there destructive activities from areas of rich biodiversity. I will begin by looking at the case of conservation in the Serengeti. During the 1970’s the Western view on conservation was to establish state protected areas and enforce laws prohibiting the access this land for natives. The aim was to create a barrier between ecosystems and what conservationists view as unsustainable uses of land practised by indigenous people and therefore allowing

1/ ENERGY BANDS IN SOLIDS In this chapter we begin with a review of the basic atomic properties of matter leading to discrete electronic energy levels in atoms. We find that these energy levels are spread into energy bands in a crystal. This band structure allows us to distinguish between an insulator, a semiconductor, and a metal. 1-1 CHARGED PARTICLES The charge, or quantity, of negative electricity and the mass of the electron have been found to be 1.60 X 10- 19 C (coulomb) and 9.11
