Text
In our modern world, there are many factors
that place the wellbeing of the planet in
jeopardy. While some people have the opinion
that environmental problems are just a natural
occurrence, others believe that human beings
have a huge impact on the environment.
Regardless of your viewpoint, take into
consideration the following factors that place
our environment as well as the planet Earth in
danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major
contributing factor to environmental damage.
Because of global warming, we have seen an
increase in melting ice caps, a rise in sea levels,
and the formation of new weather patterns.
These weather patterns have caused stronger
storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of
excessive and unregulated emissions of carbon
dioxide into the air. Pollutants mostly emerge
from the burning of fossil fuels in addition to
chemicals, toxic substances, and improper
waste disposal. Air pollutants are absorbed into
the atmosphere, and they can cause smog, a
combination of smoke and fog, in valleys as
well as produce acidic precipitation in areas far
away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments
do not sustainably use their natural resources.
Mining for natural gases, deforestation, and
even improper use of water resources can have
tremendous effects on the environment. While
these strategies often attempt to boost local
economies, their effects can lead to oil spills,
interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on
the environment can lead to many problems.
Human beings need to consider the
repercussions of their actions, trying to reduce,
reuse, and recycle materials while establishing
environmentally sustainable habits. If
measures are not taken to protect the
environment, we can potentially witness the
extinction of more endangered species,
worldwide pollution, and a completely
uninhabitable planet.
According to the text, which could be the best
title for the article?

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) refers to the policy of allowing employees to supply their own computing devices for use at
work. Employers save money by eliminating hardware purchasing and maintenance overhead, and employees enjoy the freedom of
choice to use whichever mobile phone, tablet or laptop that best meets their preferences.
For example, a user may have a Windows PC for work and a MacBook for a personal laptop. The keyboard shortcuts for each
platform are slightly different, making it easy to mangle copy-paste functions in word processors and spreadsheets. Using the same
BYOD MacBook for work and personal computing eliminates these switchover errors. Even for non-SaaS organizations, user error typically represents a third of all data loss, second only to hardware failure. The
reduction in user error gained from BYOD policies is present regardless of whether an employee is creating a document in Google
Apps or Microsoft Word.
There has yet been no rigorous study of the change in rates of user error before and after adopting BYOD policies.
Nonetheless, it's safe to assume that some level of user error is reduced by familiarity and comfort with BYOD devices.
BYOD can't make your data invulnerable, but combined with good security policies, regular user training and effective data
backup, it can make a noticeable difference in the availability and integrity of your company data.

Before cloud computing came into existence, companies were required to download applications or programs on their physical PCs or on-premises servers to be able to use them. For any organization, building and managing its own IT infrastructure or data centers is a huge challenge. Even for those who own their own data centers, allocating a large number of IT administrators and resources is a struggle.
The introduction of cloud computing was a paradigm shift in the history of the technology industry. Rather than creating and managing their own IT infrastructure and paying for servers, power and real estate, etc., cloud computing allows businesses to rent computing resources from cloud service providers. This helps businesses avoid paying heavy upfront costs and the complexity of managing their own data centers. By renting cloud services, companies pay only for what they use such as computing resources and disk space. This allows companies to anticipate costs with greater accuracy.
Since cloud service providers do the heavy lifting of managing and maintaining the IT infrastructure, it saves a lot of time, effort and money for businesses. The cloud also gives organizations the ability to seamlessly upscale or downscale their computing infrastructure as and when needed. Compared to the traditional on-premises data center model, the cloud offers easy access to data from anywhere and on any device with internet connectivity, thereby enabling effective collaboration and enhanced productivity.

Text 20A12-I
As technology advances, the car industry has developed
new ways to improve user experience. One of these ways
includes using artificial intelligence to make cars self-driving. A
self-driving car (also known as an autonomous car or driverless
car) is a vehicle that uses a different number of sensors, radars,
cameras, and artificial intelligence to travel to destinations
without needing a human driver. Many companies have already
started to manufacture self-driving cars, which are put through
many tests to ensure they are eligible to be on the road without
making any errors. To qualify as fully autonomous, a car must
navigate routes to predetermined destinations without any human
intervention.
Artificial intelligence powers self-driving vehicle
frameworks. Self-driving vehicle engineers utilize a great deal of
information from image recognition systems, AI and neural
networks to assemble frameworks that can drive self-sufficiently.
The neural networks distinguish patterns in the data, which is fed
to the AI calculations. That data include images from cameras for
self-driving vehicles. The neural networks figure out how to
recognize traffic lights, trees, pedestrians, road signs, and
different parts of any random driving environment.
As an example, Google has started to develop self-driving
cars, which use a mix of sensors, light detectors, and other
technology, like GPS and cameras. All the input data are
combined and the artificial system predicts what those objects
might do next. This whole process happens in a matter of
milliseconds. Similar to any human driver, the more experience
these systems gain, the better they become at driving. The more
data it deals with in its deep learning algorithms, the more
choices it will make and the faster those choices will be.

Russia is making heaps of money from oil, but there is a way to stop that
The United States and its allies are leaning heavily on economic sanctions to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. But a key element in that strategy, restrictions on Russian oil exports, mostly appears to be causing pain for ordinary people in other countries. European nations, in particular, are causing considerable damage to their own economies without reducing Russia’s oil revenue.
Nations seeking to help Ukraine have focused on reducing Russia’s energy exports instead of reducing Russia’s earnings from energy exports. Russia is exporting less oil but, in a perverse twist, it is earning more money. The sanctions have raised prices, more than offsetting the decline in exports. In May 2022, Russia earned 883 million euros per day from oil exports, up from 633 million euros per day in May 2021.
New sanctions that the European Union and Britain have agreed to impose on Russia by year’s end are likely to drive oil prices even higher. Some analysts warn that the price for a barrel of oil could exceed $ 200, well above the spike in the early weeks of the war, when oil prices topped out around $ 124.

Based on the text above, judge the following items.
It is correct to infer from the text that the US and its allies
have shot themselves in the foot with their economic
sanctions against Russia.
