To troubleshoot hardware problems
1. If your computer beeps when you start it but does not
display anything on your monitor:
a. Disconnect and reconnect your monitor from your
computer.
b. Verify that your monitor's power cord is connected
and that your monitor is turned on.
c. If possible, connect your monitor to a different
computer to make sure that your monitor works
properly.
d. If your monitor works but your computer beeps
and displays nothing, your video adapter has
probably failed. If your computer is under warranty,
contact your computer manufacturer for support. If
your computer is not under warranty, and you are
comfortable opening your computer's case and
replacing internal hardware, purchase and install a
compatible replacement video adapter. Otherwise,
contact a service center for assistance. While
replacing a part is a nuisance and may be costly,
your documents, pictures, and e-mail should be safe
and will be available when your computer is fixed.
2. If you see an error message that indicates that a keyboard
is not present or a key is stuck, turn off your computer and
reconnect your keyboard. If the problem continues, replace
your keyboard.
3. Sometimes your computer won't start because your
computer is not compatible with a hardware accessory. If
you have recently added a new hardware accessory, turn
your computer off, remove the accessory, and restart your
computer.
4. Remove all hardware accessories except your keyboard,
mouse, and monitor. If your computer starts successfully,
shut down Windows, turn off your computer, and add
one hardware accessory. Then, restart your computer. If
your computer fails to start, the hardware accessory you
most recently added is causing a problem. Remove the
hardware and contact the hardware vendor for support.
You can reconnect other hardware accessories.
5. You may have a loose connector. Turn off your computer,
remove all connectors from the outside of your computer,
and then carefully push the connectors back in. Look for
stray wires, bent pins, and loosely fitting connectors.
6. If you are comfortable opening your computer's case,
shut down your computer, unplug the power, and open
your computer's case. Remove and reconnect all cables.
Remove and reconnect all cards inside your computer,
including your computer's memory chips. Reassemble
your computer before attempting to start it again.
7. If your computer still doesn't start, your motherboard,
processor, memory, or graphics card may have developed
a problem. While failed hardware can be frustrating, your
documents, pictures, and email should be safe and will be
there when your computer is fixed.

Mining tourism in Ouro Preto
Ouro Preto is surrounded by a rich and varied natural
environment with waterfalls, hiking trails and native vegetation
partially protected as state parks. Parts of these resources are
used for tourism. Paradoxically, this ecosystem contrasts with the
human occupation of the region that produced, after centuries, a
rich history and a cultural connection to mining, its oldest
economic activity which triggered occupation. The region has an
unlimited potential for tourism, especially in specific segments
such as mining heritage tourism, in association or not with the
existing ecotourism market. In fact, in Ouro Preto, tourism,
history, geology and mining are often hard to distinguish; such is
the inter-relationship between these segments.
For centuries, a major problem of mining has been the reuse of
the affected areas. Modern mining projects proposed solutions to
this problem right from the initial stages of operation, which did
not happen until recently. As a result, most quarries and other
old mining areas that do not have an appropriate destination
represent serious environmental problems. Mining tourism
utilizing exhausted mines is a source of employment and income.
Tourism activities may even contribute to the recovery of
degraded areas in various ways, such as reforestation for leisure
purposes, or their transformation into history museums where
aspects of local mining are interpreted.
Minas Gerais, and particularly Ouro Preto, provides the strong
and rich cultural and historical content needed for the
transformation of mining remnants into attractive tourism
products, especially when combined with the existing cultural
tourism of the region. Although mining tourism is explored in
various parts of the world in extremely different social, economic,
cultural and natural contexts, in Brazil it is still not a strategy
readily adopted as an alternative for areas affected by mining
activities.

TEXT 3
Sustainable mining – oxymoron or a way of the future?
Mining is an activity that has persisted since the start of humans
using tools. However, one might argue that digging a big hole in
the ground and selling the finite resources that come out of that
hole is not sustainable, especially when the digging involves the
use of other finite resources (i.e. fuels) and produces a lot of
greenhouse gases.
The counter argument could go along the lines that minerals are
not being lost or destroyed through mining and mineral
processing – the elements are being shifted around, and
converted into new forms. Metals can even be extracted from
waste, seawater or even sewage, and recycled. But a more simple
argument is possible: a mine can be sustainable if it is
economically, socially and environmentally beneficial in the short
and long term. To be sustainable, the positive benefits of mining
should outweigh any negative impacts. […]
Social positives are often associated with mines in regional areas,
such as providing better amenities in a nearby town, or providing
employment (an economic and social positive). Social negatives
can also occur, such as dust, noise, traffic and visual amenity.
These are commonly debated and, whilst sometimes
controversial, can be managed with sufficient corporate
commitment, stakeholder engagement, and enough time to work
through the issues. Time is the key parameter - it may take
several years for a respectful process of community input, but as
long as it is possible for social negatives to be outweighed by
social positives, then the project will be socially sustainable.
It is most likely that a mine development will have some
environmental negatives, such as direct impacts on flora and
fauna through clearing of vegetation and habitat within the mine
footprint. Some mines will have impacts which extend beyond
the mine site, such as disruption to groundwater, production of
silt and disposal of waste. Certainly these impacts will need to be
managed throughout the mine life, along with robust
rehabilitation and closure planning. […]
The real turning point will come when mining companies go
beyond environmental compliance to create 'heritage projects'
that can enhance the environmental or social benefits in a
substantial way – by more than the environmental offsets
needed just to make up for the negatives created by the mine. In
order to foster these innovative mining heritage projects we need
to promote 'sustainability assessments' - not just 'environmental
assessments'. This will lead to a more mature appreciation of the
whole system whereby the economic and social factors, as well as
environmental factors, are considered in a holistic manner.
