A CMOS battery--short for complementary metal oxide semiconductor--is necessary to retain your computer's hardware settings. Symptoms of a dying CMOS battery include system warnings, lost time settings, and sometimes even unexpected shutdowns. Once you've recognized the symptoms, you can check the battery itself.
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a citizen-based association that operates independently of government, usually to deliver resources or serve some social or political purpose.
These activities might include human rights, environmental, improving health, or development work. An NGO's level of operation indicates the scale at which an organization works, such as local, regional, national, or international. The term non-governmental organization was first coined in 1945, when the United Nations (UN) was created. The UN, itself an intergovernmental organization, made it possible for certain approved specialized international non-state agencies â i.e., non-governmental organizations â to be awarded observer status at its assemblies and some of its meetings.
