By Max Fisher By Max Fisher August 12, 2013 Maps can be a remarkably powerful tool for understanding the world and how it works, but they show only what you ask them to.
So when we saw a post sweeping the Web titled "40 maps they didn't teach you in school," one of which happens to be a WorldViews original, I thought we might be able to contribute our own collection. Some of these are pretty nerdy, but I think they're no less fascinating and easily understandable. A majority are original to this blog, with others from a variety of sources.

A city in Brazil recruited local farmers to help do something U.S. cities have yet to do: end hunger. posted Feb 13, 2009 “To search for solutions to hunger means to act within the principle that the status of a citizen surpasses that of a mere consumer.”CITY OF BELO HORIZONTE, BRAZIL In writing Diet for a Small Planet, I learned one simple truth: Hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food but a scarcity of democracy. But that realization was only the beginning, for then I had to ask: What does a democracy look like that enables citizens to have a real voice in securing life’s essentials?
Does it exist anywhere? Is it possible or a pipe dream? To begin to conceive of the possibility of a culture of empowered citizens making democracy work for them, real-life stories help—not models to adopt wholesale, but examples that capture key lessons. When my daughter Anna and I visited Belo Horizonte to write Hope’s Edge we approached one of these stands. “I knew we had so much hunger in the world. How Shapeways 3D Printing Works.

He is a student of ecology, life, freedom, and the human condition. In 1989 Ted Turner created a fellowship to be awarded to a work of fiction offering positive solutions to global problems. The book opens with a deceptively ordinary personals ad: "Teacher seeks pupil. Ishmael's paradigm of history is startlingly different from the one wired into our cultural consciousness.
That tyranny is now hurtling us toward a planetary disaster of pollution and overpopulation.

Quinn's first version of the award-winning novel was written in 1977 and was followed by seven more complete and distinct versions. Quinn says Ishmael is a story about hope. BIM - Mission. The mission of the (B)IM Project is to make theatre accessible in Lebanon by performing for free, in site -specific locations across Lebanon. The (B)IM Project uses free productions and collaborations with artists from around the globe to cross divisions between local groups within Lebanon and boundaries between Lebanon and the international community. We devise and adapt stories rooted in the culture, history and literature of Lebanon.
All productions are in colloquial Arabic. (B)IM is an acronym for "Books in Motion," the name of the first project, where we adapted Lebanese books into plays. We inserted parentheses around the B to indicate flexibility and to indicate that adapting books is not our only activity. Our activities are “in motion” whether touring Lebanon or collaborating overseas. Under the umbrella of the 2009 UNESCO World Book Capital City Festival, we launched the first, free, traveling theatre festival in Lebanon in 10 public streets across Lebanon. A Timothy Leary for the Viral Video Age - Ross Andersen.
Meet Jason Silva, the fast-talking, media-savvy "performance philosopher" who wants you to love the ecstatic future of your mind. I want to introduce you to Jason Silva, but first I want you to watch this short video that he made. It will only take two minutes, and watching it will give you a good idea if it's worth your time to read the extensive interview that follows: If you ever wondered what would happen if a young Timothy Leary was wormholed into 2012, complete with a film degree and a Vimeo account, you have your answer: Jason Silva. If Silva, who was born in Venezuela, seems to have natural screen presence, it's because he's no stranger to media; he worked for six years as a host at Current TV before leaving the network last year to become a part-time filmmaker and full-time walking, talking TEDTalk.
Like Leary, Silva is an unabashed optimist; he sees humankind as a species on the brink of technology-enabled transcendence. Silva: Definitely. Right. You can even go beyond that.

I'm a part-time professional photographer and I love taking pictures!
Sometimes I work really hard to take an idea in my head and turn it into a finished picture. Like everyone else, I share my pictures online with friends and family, but I really want to display some of my images at home. Typically when you want to print out an image to display in your home you can do one of two things. 1) Print your photo online or at a local store like Wal-mart for as little money as possible, usually a few cents to a few dollars, and throw it in a cheap frame for another few dollars. Total cost, maybe $5-$10. 2) Visit a local printer, have your image printed professionally, take it to a framer and have it professionally framed. Now of course their are compromises between these two options but the point is that if you want to print and frame something, especially a larger size, 8x10 and larger, it gets expensive quickly, even if you print and frame the picture yourself.
List of paradoxes. This is a list of paradoxes, grouped thematically. The grouping is approximate, as paradoxes may fit into more than one category. Because of varying definitions of the term paradox, some of the following are not considered to be paradoxes by everyone. This list collects only scenarios that have been called a paradox by at least one source and have their own article. Although considered paradoxes, some of these are based on fallacious reasoning, or incomplete/faulty analysis. Informally, the term is often used to describe a counter-intuitive result. Logic[edit] Self-reference[edit] These paradoxes have in common a contradiction arising from self-reference.
