Year 80 (LXXX) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Augustus and Domitianus (or, less frequently, year 833 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 80 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that is collected from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services.
Based on REN21's 2014 report, renewables contributed 19 percent to humans' global energy consumption and 22 percent to their generation of electricity in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This energy consumption is divided as 9% coming from traditional biomass, 4.2% as heat energy (non-biomass), 3.8% hydro electricity and 2% is electricity from wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$214 billion in 2013, with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind, hydro, solar and biofuels.
In physics, energy is a property of objects which can be transferred to other objects or converted into different forms, but cannot be created or destroyed. The "ability of a system to perform work" is a common description, but it is difficult to give one single comprehensive definition of energy because of its many forms. For instance, in SI units, energy is measured in joules, and one joule is defined "mechanically", being the energy transferred to an object by the mechanical work of moving it a distance of 1 metre against a force of 1 newton. However, there are many other definitions of energy, depending on the context, such as thermal energy, radiant energy, electromagnetic, nuclear, etc., where definitions are derived that are the most convenient.
Common energy forms include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object's position in a force field (gravitational, electric or magnetic), the elastic energy stored by stretching solid objects, the chemical energy released when a fuel burns, the radiant energy carried by light, and the thermal energy due to an object's temperature. All of the many forms of energy are convertible to other kinds of energy, and obey the law of conservation of energy which says that energy can be neither created nor be destroyed; however, it can change from one form to another.

Talking Points: - Aussie Dollar drops as RBA monetary policy announcement nears - RBNZ may disappoint those looking for interest rate hike foundation - Thin economic data docket keeps the spotlight on Washington, DC The Australian Dollar fell after a soft retail sales report. What might have passed as a routine swing in a volatile series seemed to be a good enough excuse for a pullback after the currency hit a two-month high last. The on-coming RBA rate decision may have accounted for investors' cautious disposition. The central bank is widely expected to stay its hand for now but the tone of the accompanying statement may remain cautious despite recently upbeat economic data and three consecutive quarters of firming inflation. This may highlight the extent to which global policymakers...
Video ID: 20141126-022 SOT, Barack Obama, President of the United States (English): "Undocumented workers who broke our immigration laws should be held account. There's a particular category, and that's those who may be dangerous, it's a small minority but it's a significant one. And that's why over the six recent years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent. And we'll keep focusing our limited enforcement resources on those who actually pose a threat to our security. Felons not families. Gangs, not some mum and dad who are working hard, just trying to make a better life for their kids. But even..." Heckler (English): "Sorry, Mr President but that has been a lie.

This is a school project obviously^^ Genius Hour is a project we did in language arts class, where we can pick something to research and do a presentation after a few weeks. This is my idea pitch with the leading question of "Where do you draw the line between a mental disorder and just being human?". Of course I don't mean serious illnesses like hearing voices and such, but some things like depression, anxiety, stockholm syndrome and luma syndrome are actually normal or normal after experiencing certain things. Over 80 percent of people held captive experience symptoms of stockholm syndrome, so shouldn't it be a normal human trait to have when being held captive? it's simply how we work. Of course I haven't researched the subject yet, so i'll make another video later and link it in the d...
On May 11, 2015 Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM), International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG) and Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), together with the French Embassy in Italy, are organizing the international conference "Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security" under the patronage of Commissariat Général de la France at Expo 2015. The conference will be held at FEEM, in Milan at 6:30 p.m. Climate change directly impacts agricultural production. It triggers accelerated growth and early flowering in certain plants as well as changes in the rural agricultural calendar and viticultural practices. In addition to changes to the species’ growth itself, they are also increasingly impacted by the spread of pathogens and pests over a wider geographic area and the de...
