Extractions: Video games capture the rapt attention of millions of children and adults. U.S. annual shipments more than doubled from 69 million in 1996 to 159 million in 1998.* During this time, U.S. sales increased from 3.6 billion dollars to 6.2 billion dollars.* In 1996 video games represented 2% of toy shipments and 15% of sales dollars. By 1998 it grew to 4% of toy shipments and 22% of sales dollars. Total world sales dollars increased from 9.3 billion dollars in 1996 to 14.2 billion dollars in 1998.* William Higinbotham In 1958, William Higinbotham, then head of BNL's Instrumentation Division, designed what may have been one of the first video games. Back then, Brookhaven had visitors days in the fall, and thousands of people came to tour the Lab and see exhibits set up in the gymnasium. Higinbotham's game was an illustration of what the Instrumentation Division could design and build. It was wildly successful, and Higinbotham could tell from the crowd reaction that he had designed something very special. "But if I had realized just how significant it was, I would have taken out a patent and the U.S. government would own it!" he said.

Accident Investigation Program Overview of the process used by the U.S. department of energy (DOE). Provides procedures, workbooks, and guidelines. Some information not available outside DOE. http://www.eh.doe.gov/csa/aip/
Extractions: Accident Investigation Program A primary mission of the Department of Energy (DOE) is to operate its programs and facilities with a high level of safety. The accident investigation process has been designed to meet Departmental safety objectives by responding to accidents in a highly coordinated, timely, and focused manner. Preventing accidents and reducing lost time and fatalities due to accidents are line management responsibilities. However, the accident investigation program provides useful and timely information to managers within the DOE complex in an efficient manner so they can use the information to improve their programs. The objectives of the accident investigation program are to prescribe requirements for conducting investigations that will assist line management in meeting its responsibilities to:

Extractions: INTRODUCTION The Department of Energy and Rural Electrification Unit (DOE/REU) has in the past years strived to achieve its goals and this year proves no different. In 2002 DOE/REU is challenged to perform with an increase in its budgetary allocation. The DOE/REU is optimistic that an increase in its budget will bring the country closer to achieving its vision for a resource efficient, cost effective and environmentally sustainable energy sector. The Department has attempted to achieve these through the following programmes; Energy Information and Database EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Department of Energy (DOE), which is part of the Ministry of Works and Energy was established in 1981. It has played a major role in reducing Fiji's reliance on petroleum fuels and sustaining Fiji's energy sector. The DOE promotes energy efficiency practices thus reducing energy costs through programmes such as energy conservation, renewable energy resource development and fuel substitution.

Government introduces new Incentive Rates for Petroleum Operations Latest Oil Production Information Oil Basin Maps Petroleum Policy Information Energy Policy Information PNG Gas Update Investing in PNG The 2003 budget provisions have included a special package of incentives for the petroleum industry. Due to concerns about the lack of exploration activity in Papua New Guinea, particularly in the drilling of exploration wells, and the projected steep decline in oil production from the existing Kutubu, Gobe and Moran oil fields over the period 2003-2010, the Government has introduced special fiscal terms that are to provide an incentive to the industry to explore. Those special terms are styled as "incentive rate petroleum operations".
