Home Add a Site Gallery Take Action Ecuador: New Oil Pipeline Threatens Fragile Ecosystems and Communities from Amazon Rainforest to Pacific Coast Featured Rainforest Campaign Information provided Amazon Watch Rainforest News Action Alerts Protect an Acre of Rainforest ... What You Can Do Background Ignoring the devastating toll thirty years of reckless oil development has taken on the country of Ecuador- particularly on the Amazon and its people- the government and a consortium of multinational oil companies are poised to make the same irreversible mistake by moving ahead with a controversial new oil pipeline project known as the OCP (Oleoducto de Crudo Pesado). The Mindo Nambillo cloud forest reserve is threatened by the new pipeline. Photo: Amazon Watch Financially backed by Citigroup, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, and Deutsche Bank, the OCP consortium is comprised of Alberta Energy (Canada), Kerr McGee (USA), Occidental Petroleum (USA), AGIP (Italy), Perez Companc (Argentina), Repsol-YPF (Spain) and Techint (Argentina). The pipeline would transport heavy crude from the country's eastern rainforest region to the Pacific Coast, placing fragile ecosystems and dozens of communities along the 300-mile route in jeopardy. The pipeline route chosen by the OCP consortium affects 11 protected areas, and cuts through the middle of the Mindo Nambillo Cloudforest Reserve and the surrounding ecologically sensitive forests. This area is home to more than 450 species of birds46 of which are threatened by extinction and has been designated the first "Important Bird Area"of South America by Birdlife International. The pipeline also represents a threat to the area's burgeoning ecotourism industry, which is expected to bring in $600 million over the next 20 years.

OCP (Open Catalog Protocol), created by MartSoft, is "an XML-based software protocol that enables the exchange of complex data between product catalogs. OCP consists of a language-independent representation of catalog data based on XML 1.0, and a set of protocol opcodes for specifying a wide variety of operations on a catalog. OCP can be used with any other Internet protocols that support transferring textual data. OCP is the protocol that specifies how two processes could interoperate. While the format of the catalog data being exchanged is OCF (Open Catalog Format). OCP is not yet a formal standard, but MartSoft is working on submitting to the W3C and other standards body.

KEYWORD: Oracle8i DBA OCP Email this Page Certification ROI Career Advancement Industry Demand Raise Potential Cost Effective to Obtain SYNOPSIS Oracle’s 8i OCP (Oracle Certified Professional) DBA (Database Administrator) certification is for IT professionals who have “proven skills managing a large-scale database or developing robust applications that are deployed enterprise-wide.” The Oracle 8i OCP was introduced in 1999 and will likely stay fairly popular until the arrival of the Oracle 10G certification. Moreover, those candidates who take this certification path can upgrade to the Oracle 9i OCP without having to meet the requirement of taking at least one instructor-led inclass or instructor-led online course for the Oracle 9i OCP path. There is no specific prerequisite for this certification; however, having some hands on experience with both SQL and an Oracle or other competitor database would definitely help. This certification is well suited to IT personnel, with titles such as database administrator, database analyst, and database developer, who want to continue on with these roles or move into roles such as data warehouse architect, and data-mining expert. The Oracle 8i OCP designation is achieved by passing five exams.

Colombia Ecuador Peru Home In the Amazon Ecuador : Amazon Oil Expansion and the OCP Pipeline Ecuador Amazon Oil Expansion and the OCP Pipeline Introduction Table of Contents Introduction Who is Behind the OCP? Protected Areas Threatened by Ecological Disasters Oil Corporations Ransack Indigenous Territories OCP Encounters Wide-Ranging Opposition Ignoring the devastating toll thirty years of reckless oil development has taken on the country - particularly on the Amazon and its people- a consortium of multinational oil companies are near completion on a controversial new oil pipeline project known as the OCP (Oleoducto de Crudos Pesados). The project was delayed for over a decade due to opposition, and the pipeline's construction over the last two years has been the target of intense on the ground resistance-from tree sits to mass mobilizations-and an international campaign targeting the project's financiers. Set to go online in October 2003, the pipeline will transport heavy crude from the country's Amazon rainforest region to the Pacific Coast, placing fragile ecosystems and dozens of communities along the 300-mile route in jeopardy. The damaging impacts of the new pipeline will be felt far beyond the immediate pipeline route. To fill the OCP, Ecuador must double current oil production by embarking on an unprecedented wave of new oil exploitation in vast areas of Amazon frontier forest. Plans are already underway for dozens of new oil wells, roads, flow lines, and associated processing plants that will litter some of the country's last remaining old growth rainforests and territories of isolated indigenous peoples.

CoSA Search site About CoSA History ... Bd of Directors State Contacts State Archivists SHRABs State Archives News ... Search Site Statement on Digital Access Partnerships Developed by the CoSA Task Force on Online Content Providers Approved by the CoSA Board of Directors, April PDF version Overview Public/private partnerships are a growing option for making information available online. Such partnerships have the potential to broaden access to important documents, ensure long-term access to electronic information, create revenue-sharing opportunities, maximize existing resources for digital content, and serve as an excellent public relations piece for both partners. To achieve these benefits, both the public and private partners will need to be flexible in order to meet the diverse needs of the private nonprofit or for-profit organization providing the technology and the institutions that hold public records. The Council of State Archivists (CoSA) has authorized a task force to consider the opportunities involved in such ventures and serve as a resource for institutions investigating such partnerships with the Genealogical Society of Utah/Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (GSU/LDS), Ancestry.com, iArchives, and others. Statement of Intent The members of the OCP Task Force believe that private/public partnerships with online content providers present tremendous opportunities for state archives and for the content providers. Such partnerships also present challenges, which include: ensuring long-term access to and preservation of the records for state archives users, keeping public records public, protecting the rights of citizens, ensuring the soundness of tax dollar investment and providing a transparent view of the government process. Each state and local government will have different options to consider when discussing partnerships with private vendors. This Task Force intends to outline these contractual considerations and provide possible solutions or examples as developed by individual states and the vendor.

40. Pythian Remote DBA: Get Down With OCP Evaluating DBA Job Applicants In An OCP Wo But once the Oracle Certification Program (ocp) became popular in the late 90s, the traditional tech interview lost its effectiveness. http://www.pythian.com/news/papers/OCPApplicants.html

About Us Our Services The Pythian Advantage News News Pythian Papers Get Down With OCP Evaluating DBA Job Applicants in an OCP World by Robert Hamel Not long ago, weeding through DBA applicants with a tech interview was a straightforward process. You'd ask candidates 200 or so technical questions. If they got 100 correct answers, you knew they'd been around the block; 150 or more and you knew you were on to superior talent. But once the Oracle Certification Program (OCP) became popular in the late 90s, the traditional tech interview lost its effectiveness. These days, candidates can answer 180 questions correctly and you still won't know whether they're talking from experience or simply regurgitating what they memorized at OCP a few weeks earlier. Although it has become increasingly difficult to determine whether you've found a seasoned, highly qualified DBA or a newly minted OCP Graduate, there are ways. You also need to analyze your needs. If you're looking to hire a junior person and mentor them, the OCP program ensures that the candidate has been exposed to most areas of the Oracle RDBMS. You can assume you'll have an employee who knows the commands and has a general concept of how a database works. But if you select an inexperienced OCP candidate thinking you're getting a skilled veteran, you'll be in for countless unpleasant surprises. Typical horror stories sound like: A DBA restores the backup for the first time in a real-life situation, finds out the backup strategy was flawed and loses the whole database. S/he probably also forgot to make a backup of the database before attempting the recovery, therefore rendering Oracle support intervention nearly impossible.
