So I ’ve been reading about how the modern worker, let ’s say in the U.S. — they could be in marketing, they could be at a nonprofit, could be in finance, whatever — that if you ’re working with a computer, which describes many, many, many, many of us now obviously, that one big change in the last 15 or 20 years is how... | 1clean |
I mean, the research shows that you have a loss of productivity when you ’re trying to multitask — just the opposite of what you think. | 1clean |
This year has once again confirmed the importance of the United Nations as the truly indispensable multilateral forum for addressing today ’s global problems. | 1clean |
Ten years after 9/11, joint action in the fight against terrorism continues to remain central on the multilateral agenda. | 1clean |
In the past nine months, we have witnessed momentous changes in the Arab world that nobody expected when we met one year ago. | 1clean |
In Libya, thousands lost their lives in the struggle for freedom and democracy. | 1clean |
Austria strongly condemns the systematic human rights violations and the violence against peaceful demonstrators. | 1clean |
We strongly urge those responsible to immediately stop the bloodshed and to engage in meaningful dialogue and reforms. | 1clean |
Austria supports the Libyan people in its struggle for freedom. | 1clean |
Austria welcomes all efforts undertaken by Governments in the region for peaceful and credible change. | 1clean |
We encourage the newly empowered authorities to create a constitutional framework based on democracy and human rights, in order to fulfil their mandate for democratic change responsibly and peacefully. | 1clean |
The Middle East took centre stage this week here at the General Assembly — and rightly so. | 1clean |
We have no choice but to return to direct negotiations between the two parties. | 1clean |
The Quartet, in its statement yesterday, has shown a way to do that and has also proposed concrete timelines. | 1clean |
Austria fully supports the Quartet statement. | 1clean |
There is no time to lose. | 1clean |
Austria welcomes President Al-Nasser ’s choice of theme for this year ’s general debate. | 1clean |
We appreciate Qatar ’s strong track record in that regard. | 1clean |
Last year ’s tenth anniversary of the adoption of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security reminded us that the promise of women ’s full and equal participation in all efforts of maintaining peace and security, including in mediation processes, has not yet come true and that we all need to i... | 1clean |
By inviting political decision-makers from both Khartoum and Juba to Vienna in recent years, Austria has managed to offer the two sides a platform for discussion. | 1clean |
The United Nations headquarters in Vienna serves as a dynamic hub for the promotion of peace, security and sustainable development. | 1clean |
Austria fully stands behind the campaign launched by the Secretary-General on Monday to achieve universal access to modern energy services. | 1clean |
We support doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency and the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030. | 1clean |
Austria provides substantial support to the energy and environment efforts undertaken by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. | 1clean |
Last June, we hosted the Vienna Energy Forum, where about 1,400 participants discussed alternative energy concepts to reach the energy goals of the United Nations. | 1clean |
We owe it to future generations to make safety concerns come first when using nuclear power. | 1clean |
Austria decided, in 1978, to forgo the use of nuclear energy. | 1clean |
Some countries have recently adopted a similar course, which we welcome. | 1clean |
I wish to make a ministerial statement about the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in New Zealand. | 1clean |
On Friday, 28 February, New Zealand recorded its first case of the COVID-19 coronavirus, becoming the 48th country to have a confirmed case. | 1clean |
The individual had entered the country two days earlier after spending some weeks in Iran, which is currently experiencing a sizable outbreak of the disease. | 1clean |
The good news in this instance is that the individual had limited contact with people upon their return to the country, and their family took all the appropriate measures when presenting at the emergency department. | 1clean |
As you would expect, our public health service is working hard to contain this first case and limit the risk of any spread of the disease. | 1clean |
Contact tracing began immediately and has gone to plan. | 1clean |
All 15 people who were seated nearby the individual on their flight into New Zealand have been traced and are being told to self-isolate. | 1clean |
Internationally, the situation with COVID-19 continues to develop at pace. | 1clean |
However, the Director-General of the World Health Organization said, this morning, containment … is feasible and must remain the top priority for all countries. | 1clean |
At every step, the Government has taken decisions in the interests of health and safety of the wider public, and so far we have been among the best at keeping COVID-19 at bay. | 1clean |
Just yesterday, Cabinet decided to extend for another week the travel restrictions that have been in place for China since 3 February and for Iran since last Friday. | 1clean |
These restrictions have played a key role in keeping COVID-19 out of New Zealand for so long and have given us time to better understand the disease and ramp up our preparations. | 1clean |
So, as a further precaution, we have decided that anyone arriving in New Zealand who has been in northern Italy or South Korea who has been there in the last 14 days will be registered for self-isolation. | 1clean |
It recognises that while there are outbreaks in both countries, they also have well-developed health systems and the outbreaks are largely located in specific regions. | 1clean |
We know self-isolation works. | 1clean |
We have also stepped up the health presence at our airports. | 1clean |
All airlines flying into New Zealand have been requested to read a health message upon landing, and all arrivals into New Zealand will receive health information cards alongside the standard customs declaration form. | 1clean |
Our border response is further ramping up to have health staff available for all international flights into New Zealand. | 1clean |
At the same time, our health system continues its preparations in line with our comprehensive pandemic plan. | 1clean |
I want to thank our DHBs, public health staff, and primary care and health officials for the work they are doing to protect the public. | 1clean |
I have high confidence in our medical professionals. | 1clean |
We have a strong public health system. | 1clean |
We continue to work to keep COVID-19 out, but we are ready if it arrives in our community. | 1clean |
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers, the scientists of their day. | 1clean |
In the fifth century BC, Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, a term derived from the Greek word for “indivisible.” | 1clean |
They thought of atoms as moving particles that differed in shape and size, and which could join together. | 1clean |
Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” —fire, earth, air, and water—and could be infinitely divided. | 1clean |
Interestingly, these philosophers thought about atoms and “elements” as philosophical concepts, but apparently never considered performing experiments to test their ideas. | 1clean |
The Aristotelian view of the composition of matter held sway for over two thousand years, until English schoolteacher John Dalton helped to revolutionize chemistry with his hypothesis that the behavior of matter could be explained using an atomic theory. | 1clean |
2. An element consists of only one type of atom, which has a mass that is characteristic of the element and is the same for all atoms of that element (Figure 2.2). | 1clean |
A macroscopic sample of an element contains an incredibly large number of atoms, all of which have identical chemical properties. | 1clean |
A pre-1982 copper penny (left) contains approximately 3 ×× 1022 copper atoms (several dozen are represented as brown spheres at the right), each of which has the same chemical properties. | 1clean |
3. Atoms of one element differ in properties from atoms of all other elements. | 1clean |
4. A compound consists of atoms of two or more elements combined in a small, whole-number ratio. | 1clean |
Copper(II) oxide, a powdery, black compound, results from the combination of two types of atoms—copper (brown spheres) and oxygen (red spheres)—in a 1:1 ratio. | 1clean |
When the elements copper (a shiny, red-brown solid, shown here as brown spheres) and oxygen (a clear and colorless gas, shown here as red spheres) react, their atoms rearrange to form a compound containing copper and oxygen (a powdery, black solid). | 1clean |
Dalton ’s atomic theory provides a microscopic explanation of the many macroscopic properties of matter that you ’ve learned about. | 1clean |
In the following drawing, the green spheres represent atoms of a certain element. | 1clean |
The purple spheres represent atoms of another element. | 1clean |
Does the following chemical change represented by these symbols violate any of the ideas of Dalton ’s atomic theory? | 1clean |
The starting materials consist of two green spheres and two purple spheres. | 1clean |
The products consist of only one green sphere and one purple sphere. | 1clean |
This violates Dalton ’s postulate that atoms are neither created nor destroyed during a chemical change, but are merely redistributed. | 1clean |
(In this case, atoms appear to have been destroyed.) | 1clean |
In the following drawing, the green spheres represent atoms of a certain element. | 1clean |
The purple spheres represent atoms of another element. | 1clean |
Does the following chemical change represented by these symbols violate any of the ideas of Dalton ’s atomic theory? | 1clean |
The starting materials consist of four green spheres and two purple spheres. | 1clean |
The products consist of four green spheres and two purple spheres. | 1clean |
This does not violate any of Dalton ’s postulates: | 1clean |
By the outset of 1864, after three years of war, the Union had mobilized its resources for the ongoing struggle on a massive scale. | 1clean |
The government had overseen the construction of new railroad lines and for the first time used standardized rail tracks that allowed the North to move men and materials with greater ease. | 1clean |
The North ’s economy had shifted to a wartime model. | 1clean |
The Confederacy also mobilized, perhaps to a greater degree than the Union, its efforts to secure independence and maintain slavery. | 1clean |
Yet the Confederacy experienced ever - greater hardships after years of war. | 1clean |
Without the population of the North, it faced a shortage of manpower. | 1clean |
Rampant inflation as well as food shortages in the South lowered morale. | 1clean |
From the beginning of the war, the Confederacy placed great hope in being recognized and supported by Great Britain and France. | 1clean |
European intervention in the conflict remained a strong possibility, but when it did occur, it was not in a way anticipated by either the Confederacy or the Union. | 1clean |
Napoleon III of France believed the Civil War presented an opportunity for him to restore a French empire in the Americas. | 1clean |
With the United States preoccupied, the time seemed ripe for action. | 1clean |
The French then moved to capture Mexico City, but the advance came to an end when Mexican forces defeated the French in 1862. | 1clean |
Despite this setback, France eventually did conquer Mexico, establishing a regime that lasted until 1867. | 1clean |
Rather than coming to the aid of the Confederacy, France used the Civil War to provide a pretext for efforts to reestablish its former eighteenth - century colonial holdings. | 1clean |
Still, the Confederacy had great confidence that it would find an ally in Great Britain despite the antislavery sentiment there. | 1clean |
Southerners hoped Britain ’s dependence on cotton for its textile mills would keep the country on their side. | 1clean |
The fact that the British proved willing to build and sell ironclad ships intended to smash through the Union naval blockade further raised Southern hopes. | 1clean |
The Confederacy purchased two of these armored blockade runners, the CSS Florida and the CSS Alabama. | 1clean |
The Confederacy ’s staunch commitment to slavery eventually worked against British recognition and support, since Great Britain had abolished slavery in 1833. | 1clean |
The 1863 Emancipation Proclamation ended any doubts the British had about the goals of the Union cause. | 1clean |
Ultimately, Great Britain, like France, disappointed the Confederacy ’s hope of an alliance, leaving the outnumbered and out - resourced states that had left the Union to fend for themselves. | 1clean |
At the beginning of the war, in 1861 and 1862, Union forces had used contrabands, or escaped enslaved people, for manual labor. | 1clean |
