2012 Corruption Perceptions Index. Looking at the Corruption Perceptions Index 2012, it's clear that corruption is a major threat facing humanity.
Corruption destroys lives and communities, and undermines countries and institutions. It generates popular anger that threatens to further destabilise societies and exacerbate violent conflicts.

The Digital Archaeological Atlas of the Holy Land - Test Collada Model Manipulation. OmnesViae: Roman Route Planner- Tabula Peutingeriana and Itinerarium Antonini. Google Earth London Virtual Tour. I am delighted to show our latest virtual tour, made with Google Earth API in a web browser !!!
It was a great project to work on as it has many of the traditional features of virtual tour such as image thumbnails to select a panorama and a fullscreen view. However their is one major difference and that is instead of using Google Maps for navigation we are using Google Earth, which allows users to fly into immersive panoramic spheres. The tour shows some of our panoramas from around London and features a jquery scroll and tab menu.
