CASE 2

1.Cio
= Central Intelligence Organisation, the secret police in Zimbabwe
Chief information officer, the head of information technology within an organization
* Chief Innovation Officer, the head of innovation, responsible for innovation management
* Chief investment officer, the head of investments within an organization
* Congress of Industrial Organizations, a former United States trade union federation also known as the Committee of Industrial Organization that merged to form the AFL-CIO in 1955
* The International Olympic Committee (French: Comité international olympique)
* The Central Imagery Office, a predecessor organization of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
* Concurrent Input/Output, a file systems feature introduced in JFS (file system) in May 2003
* Cry It Out, an aspect of the Ferberization technique for solving childhood sleep problems

2.Global Warming
= is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. According to the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 20th century.[2][A] Most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, which results from human activity such as the burning of fossil fuel and deforestation.[3] Global dimming, a result of increasing concentrations of atmospheric aerosols that block sunlight from reaching the surface, has partially countered the effects of greenhouse gas induced warming.

Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the 21st century.[2] The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions. An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.[4] Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects include changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields. Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe, though the nature of these regional variations is uncertain.

3.The Advantage of Green
= Green Advantage (GA), the country’s longest-standing green certification for builders and building-related practitioners, offers three certification exams:

* Commercial
* Residential
* Commercial/Residential

Green Advantage Certified Practitioners (GACPs) have passed one or more exams, demonstrating their knowledge of the latest in green building principles, materials and techniques. Green Advantage Certification helps builders get jobs, contractors win bids, and allows building occupants to enjoy healthier, more efficient homes and buildings.


Individual GA Exams™ are offered by Green Advantage nationwide at conveniently located testing centers. While attending a training event is not required to sit for the exam, it is always recommended. Preparatory training courses and workshops are developed and delivered by organizations independent of Green Advantage. Group administered Green Advantage Exams may be coordinated with these events.

4.Effect Of Computers
= As computers have become less expensive they have been purchased by more and more families for their homes. Because of this, many children begin to use computers at an early age. Even if computers are not available in their home, children almost certainly will begin to come into contact with computers in school.
Some adults are amazed by how readily young children use computers. Many children find that using computers gives them a sense of power and accomplishment. And, unlike many adults whose first or primary contact with computers is work related, most children first use computers for entertainment purposes and games. This is by no means the only use that children have for computers. Children also use computers for accessing information, as well as for writing stories and research papers.Many individuals who work at a computer experience eye-related discomfort and visual problems. However, based on current evidence it is unlikely that the use ofcomputers causes permanent changes or damage to the eyes or visual system. This report will review the factors relating to eye and vision problems associated with computer work and provide recommendations for preventing or reducing their development.

5.Data center server
= Our comparisons of server , including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as open source and Linux options, can help you find the best technologies for your IT department's needs. Our experts advise on migrating to servers from a physical environment and selecting tools. They share techniques for simplifying server management and data center performance monitoring with Other topics include reducing IT costs by consolidating with using energy-efficiency benefits as part a green data center strategy; reaping advantages of in data center disaster recovery planning; and more.
