Resources Matter : Ending Poverty While Protecting Nature
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO licence.It is free to read at Oxford Academic and is offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. The extraction and use of natural resources underpins a global economy that provides high living standards for many as well as the prospect of ending poverty in the developing world.Mining as well as the oil and gas industry - which constitute the 'extractive industries' - are vitally important sectors in many developing countries.They provide substantial public revenues as well as much-needed foreign exchange, and livelihoods for many.Yet, the extractives industries are highly controversial.The continued extraction and burning of fossil fuels in energy generation and transport, together with the emissions associated with mining and metals refining, has taken the world to levels of emissions that increasingly imperil humanity.In addition, the extractive industries have a poor record of damaging nature both through pollution as well as via the destruction of biodiversity (thereby endangering the livelihoods that depend on such renewable natural capital).This book explores a central issue of our time: our materials world is simultaneously both part of the problem (especially fossil fuels) as well as part of its solution (the materials necessary for the technologies required for 'net zero').Resources Matter discusses how the extractive industries can be leveraged to generate larger and more beneficial impacts in poorer economies and improve livelihoods at local and national levels.A central argument is that the so-called 'resource curse' - the potentially negative effect of resource booms on economies and societies - is not inevitable, as it is often said to be.Rather, much can be done through policy, coordinated government action in partnership with the private sector, and judicious investments to improve the prospects for resource wealth to make a positive contribution to escaping underdevelopment and poverty.Companies in the extractives industry have a key role in working with governments to achieve these goals.

Shakespeare's Resources
Geoffrey Bullough’s The Narrative and Dramatic Sources of Shakespeare (1957-75) established a vocabulary and a method for linking Shakespeare’s plays with a series of texts on which they were thought to be based.Shakespeare’s Resources revisits and interrogates the methodology that has prevailed since then and proposes a number of radical departures from Bullough’s model.The tacitly accepted linear model of ‘source’ and ‘influence’ that critics and scholars have wrestled with is here reconceptualised as a dynamic process in which texts interact and generate meanings that domesticated versions of intertextuality do not adequately account for.The investigation uncovers questions of exactly how Shakespeare ‘read’, what he read, the practical conditions in which narratives were encountered, and how he re-deployed earlier versions that he had used in his later work. -- .

Are renewable resources the same as sustainable resources?
Renewable resources and sustainable resources are related concepts but not exactly the same. Renewable resources are those that can be replenished naturally over time, such as sunlight, wind, and water. Sustainable resources, on the other hand, refer to resources that are managed in a way that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. While renewable resources are often considered sustainable, not all sustainable resources are necessarily renewable, as some non-renewable resources can be managed in a way that ensures their long-term availability.

Human Resources : Poems
Winner of the Max Ritvo PoetryPrize, Ryann Stevenson’s Human Resources is a sobering andperceptive portrait of technology’s impact on connection and power. Human Resources followsa woman working in the male-dominated world of AI, designing women that don’texist.In discerning verse, she workshops thefacial characteristics of a floating head named “Nia,” who her boss calls “histype”; she loses hours researching “June,” an oddly sexualized artificiallyintelligent oven; and she spends a whole day “trying to break” a femaleself-improvement bot.Thespeaker of Stevenson’s poems grapples with uneasiness and isolation, even asshe endeavors to solve for these problems in her daily work.She attempts toharness control by eating clean, doing yoga, and searching for age-defying skincare, though she dreams “about the department / that women get reassigned toafter they file / harassment complaints.” With sharp, lyrical intelligence, sheimagines alternative realities where women exist not for the whims of men butfor their own—where they become literal skyscrapers, towering over a world thatnever appreciated them. Chilling and lucid, HumanResources challenges the minds programming our present and future to considerwhat serves the collective good.Something perhaps more thoughtful and human,Stevenson writes: “I want to say better.”

Resources of Christianity
Christianity is bound up with the very idea of the West: we cannot evade it even if we would like to. While many people no longer believe in Christianity, we cannot deny that it has left a deep imprint on Western thought. But how might we develop a philosophy of Christianity that is not a Christian philosophy? How can we take a view that is external to the traditions of apologetics and criticism? For there is a question that concerns us all here: are the coherences of Christianity still useful for thought, and especially for thought about existence? To address this question, François Jullien considers Christianity as constituting a set of resources.Resources are available to all and can be used by those who discover and exploit them; they belong to no one.Christianity offers us resources inasmuch as we can draw some benefit from it, inasmuch as it can be the source of an effect, without our having to believe it or determine its truth in advance.Jullien reads the Gospels, and especially the Gospel of John, as he would read any other text, seeking to account for the text's coherence (rather than its ‘meaning’), seeking to account for its pertinence (rather than its ‘truth’), but without any need to adhere – the exploitation of resources demands no conversion. And in reading the Gospel of John in this way, we discover the fertile veins of a theory of existence. This fresh and erudite reflection on Christianity will be of great value to anyone interested in religion and its relevance today.

What unlimited resources are there?
Unlimited resources refer to those that are not finite and can be replenished indefinitely. Some examples of unlimited resources include solar energy, wind energy, and tidal energy.

What is the difference between a human resources officer and a human resources dispatcher?
A human resources officer is responsible for managing the overall human resources functions within an organization, including recruitment, employee relations, training, and benefits administration. They are involved in strategic planning and policy development to ensure the organization's workforce is effectively managed and supported. On the other hand, a human resources dispatcher is responsible for coordinating and scheduling employees for various shifts and assignments, often in industries such as transportation, logistics, or emergency services. They focus on ensuring that the right employees are deployed to the right locations at the right times, often using scheduling software and communication tools to manage employee assignments and availability. While both roles are important in managing a company's workforce, the human resources officer focuses on the broader strategic and administrative functions, while the dispatcher focuses on the day-to-day scheduling and coordination of employees.
