First of all, he gave a brief outline about the presentation. He started saying “water is an important part of our body; almost 75% covers it and 70% of the earth.” Also Hamad mention that 3.4 million people each year die due to water-related diseases.780 million people have little or no access to clean water. Secondly he said that the causes of the problem are water pollution, population growth, climate change, deforestation, high consumption and salination. Thirdly, Hamad said the effects of water and scarcity are insufficient resources, health issues, economic downfall and damaged ecosystem. In conclusion Hamad said that there are several solutions: government and public awareness; corporations reminders and communication with employees; NGOs promotion and wide awareness; individual water consumption control. One of the solutions that Hamad described is corporations' communication with employees that means telling the employees the effect of the problem and what it can lead to in the future. Hamad did include references with an APA format. In my opinion Hamad did give me new effective information and the huge effect that the problem will have in the future.

Presentation Report

Mansour Ahmed Al Hashimi presented in Tuesday 7, May at 1: 00 pm in j12 about Markus Persson who was born in 1 June 1979 (34 years old ). Mansour said that he is from Stockholm, Sweden. He began programming on his father's Commodore 128 home computer at the age of seven; having experimented with various type-in programs he produced his first game at the age of eight, a text-based adventure game from copying code in magazines. Markus says that he has next to no formal education and is self-taught – he didn’t ever study game development. Also Mansour said that the name Notch doesn’t actually mean anything. It’s just a moniker that he chose to use in the forums because he thought it sounded good. In addition Mansour mentioned before setting up Mojang, he worked for flash and social game company King.com and briefly for Avalanche Studios. However, he decided “working in big machinery is not for me.” Persson revealed on his blog on 5 August 2011 that he was being sued by a Swedish law firm representing Bethesda soft works over the trademarked name of Scrolls claiming it conflicted with their series of games. Mansour said that on 17 August 2011 Persson challenged Bethesda to a Quake 3 tournament to decide the outcome of the naming dispute. On 27 September 2011 Persson confirmed on Twitter that the case was going to court. Some clarification was made that it is ZeniMax Media, the company owning Bethesda Softworks, who are pushing for the lawsuit. A settlement was reached in March 2012 that allowed Mojang to continue using the Scrolls trademark. He is currently ranked as the second most-influential person in the world in this years’ Time 100 Poll.
