Politics - The fight for human freedom - Islamism - The problem After 9/11, when thousands of American innocents were killed by Islamic extremists for no reason, the central question is not: "Why do they hate us? ". The central question is not: "What is wrong with American foreign policy? " The central question is: What is wrong with the Islamic world, and how will it reform? The basic problem is very clear. It is that millions of people in the Islamic world do not believe in free speech, freedom of religion, democracy, a secular state, free enterprise and human rights.
Millions of Muslims also have a hatred for Israel and America that has no rational basis. Who is our enemy? If you want a 5 minute summary of what is wrong with the Islamic world, here it is. Freedom House ranks countries' political freedoms and civil liberties as "Free", "Partly Free" and "Not Free". Here is their 2013 ranking for the main belt of Islamic countries: Or, as a map, their 2014 ranking: Green - "Free". Maxwell's demon. In the philosophy of thermal and statistical physics, Maxwell's demon is a thought experiment created by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell to "show that the Second Law of Thermodynamics has only a statistical certainty".[1] It demonstrates Maxwell's point by hypothetically describing how to violate the Second Law: a container of gas molecules at equilibrium is divided into two parts by an insulated wall, with a door that can be opened and closed by what came to be called "Maxwell's demon".
The demon opens the door to allow only the faster than average molecules to flow through to a favored side of the chamber, and only the slower than average molecules to the other side, causing the favored side to gradually heat up while the other side cools down, thus decreasing entropy. Origin and history of the idea[edit] The thought experiment first appeared in a letter Maxwell wrote to Peter Guthrie Tait on 11 December 1867.

What You Wish You'd Known Before Your Job Interview [Infographic] 1980s oil glut. The Real and Nominal price of oil from 1968 to 2006.[1] In June 1981, The New York Times stated an "Oil glut! ... is here" [6] and Time Magazine stated: "the world temporarily floats in a glut of oil," [7] though the next week an article in The New York Times warned that the word "glut" was misleading, and that in reality, while temporary surpluses had brought down prices somewhat, prices were still well above pre-energy crisis levels.[8] This sentiment was echoed in November 1981, when the CEO of Exxon Corp also characterized the glut as a temporary surplus, and that the word "glut" was an example of "our American penchant for exaggerated language.
" He wrote that the main cause of the glut was declining consumption. After 1980, reduced demand and overproduction produced a glut on the world market, causing a six-year-long decline in oil prices culminating with a 46 percent price drop in 1986. Detailed analysis of changes in oil price from 1970-2007. Production[edit] Non-OPEC[edit] US[edit] Give me that one command you wish you knew years ago. I'll start. : linux. KK... JK... OK : / Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Cave of Forgotten Dreams is a 2010 3D documentary film by Werner Herzog about the Chauvet Cave in southern France that contains the oldest human-painted images yet discovered.
Some of them were crafted as much as 32,000 years ago.[3][4] The film premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival[5] and consists of images from inside the cave as well as of interviews with various scientists and historians.[6] The film also includes footage of the nearby Pont d'Arc natural bridge.[1] Production[edit] Herzog's interest in the Chauvet cave was prompted by Judith Thurman's New Yorker article "First Impressions".[1] Thurman is listed as one of the co-producers of the film.
Herzog was allowed to have only three people with him in the cave: the cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger, a sound recorder (Eric Spitzer-Marlyn), and an assistant. The production encountered several technical difficulties in working with the 3-D cameras in a documentary setting. Release[edit] Reception[edit] Photography Tutorial {EXPOSURE - PART II} Last week I explained three of the key camera settings which relate to and influence Exposure. Now I will attempt to dig a bit deeper, and then explain how to work them all together. Please forgive me if I do jump around a little, or promise more information on some topics later.
Many areas of photography are intertwined and in some effort to cut things down into bite sized chunks {although this one is quite a mouthful} I am going to have to leave detailed explanations of new topic for another post. As these posts do build up, I will start linking things together. For now I'll do my best not to give you headaches! This measures how sensitive your camera is to light {referred to in numbers eg. Lower ISO settings, for example ISO 100-400, make your camera less sensitive to light. Higher ISO settings make your camera more sensitive to light and allow you to photograph in darker conditions without using a flash, such as indoors or when photographing sleeping babies.
