Ze maken het mogelijk dat schrijvers, ontwerpers, muzikanten en andere creatieven van hun werk kunnen leven. Informatieprofessionals respecteren de belangen van auteursrechthebbenden. In het bijzonder die van ‘auteurs’ (schrijvers, muzikanten, filmmakers etc.) wier creativiteit een zekere mate van financiële compensatie verdient. Informatieprofessionals respecteren óók de belangen van hun cliënten: de gebruikers van hun diensten. Het zijn hun collega’s, medewerkers en studenten van onderwijsinstellingen, domeinspecialisten en in het geval van openbare bibliotheken elke burger. In analoge tijden was het niet moeilijk de belangen van rechthebbenden en gebruikers tegen elkaar af te wegen en er een gulden middenweg in te kiezen.

Magnesium injection cycle. Magnesium Injection Cycle (MAGIC) is an engine design currently under development by Mitsubishi Corporation and the Tokyo Institute of Technology which uses magnesium and water to generate power.[1][2][3] The engine also makes use of solar-powered lasers. Overview[edit] Output[edit] Despite its small dimensions (approx. 5 cm in diameter and 13.5 cm in height), the engine can generate a heat output of several tens of kW from which power is obtained.[3] The engine is aimed to be used in cogeneration, automobiles, ships, and many other areas. A statement in 2006 claimed that further research is planned with the aim of commercialization in the next three years.[1][3] No updated timeline has been released.

Personnel[edit] The engine development was led by Professor Takashi Yabe with the help of Professor Ikuta and others of Tokyo Institute of Technology with the cooperation of Ono Denki Seisakusho, K.K., a precision manufacturer located in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

Clearly, unsolved philosophical problems exist in the lay sense (e.g. "What is the meaning of life? ", "Where did we come from? ", "What is reality? " Aesthetics[edit] Essentialism[edit] In art, essentialism is the idea that each medium has its own particular strengths and weaknesses, contingent on its mode of communication.

Art objects[edit] This problem originally arose from the practice rather than theory of art. While it is easy to dismiss these assertions, further investigation[who?] Epistemology[edit] Epistemological problems are concerned with the nature, scope and limitations of knowledge. Gettier problem[edit] In 1963, however, Edmund Gettier published an article in the periodical Analysis entitled "Is Justified True Belief Knowledge? " In response to Gettier's article, numerous philosophers have offered modified criteria for "knowledge. " Infinite regression[edit] Molyneux problem[edit] Münchhausen trilemma[edit] [edit] 10 Strange Things About The Universe. Space The universe can be a very strange place. While groundbreaking ideas such as quantum theory, relativity and even the Earth going around the Sun might be commonly accepted now, science still continues to show that the universe contains things you might find it difficult to believe, and even more difficult to get your head around.

Theoretically, the lowest temperature that can be achieved is absolute zero, exactly ? 273.15°C, where the motion of all particles stops completely. However, you can never actually cool something to this temperature because, in quantum mechanics, every particle has a minimum energy, called “zero-point energy,” which you cannot get below. One of the properties of a negative-energy vacuum is that light actually travels faster in it than it does in a normal vacuum, something that may one day allow people to travel faster than the speed of light in a kind of negative-energy vacuum bubble.

I’m sure the title of this post will have many people doing a double take, but yes you read that right; Hungarian is easy.

Hungarian is not an Indo-European language (i.e. Hindi actually has more in common with English/French/German/Russian etc. than Hungarian does), so it’s very different to all of its neighbours and this gives it the reputation of being among the most challenging languages in the world. And yes, it can be “hard”. But not because a bunch of people say it is; it only matters what you think if you are taking on the language yourself. There is no such thing as a hardest language, only a “hard” attitude. But the way I managed to be able to speak Hungarian in just two months was doing the exact opposite. This approach meant I had no mental barriers, no nagging doubts in my head, no fears to just say something and make mistakes, I just spoke and let the progress flow enough for me to be able to have genuine friendships entirely through Hungarian.

This Monday WDM campaigners came to the office with big smiles on their faces. Over the weekend, we’d heard that French Oil giant Total, subject to one of our latest online actions, had apparently cancelled its plans to mine tar sands in Madagascar. High fives all around. Or? As the story only seemed to have appeared on a mining industry website, we decided we needed to do some proper digging around.

The first thing we did was get in touch with one of our allies in Madagascar. It can be just as hard for campaigners in Madagascar to get information as it is for us here, but their understanding is that Total isn’t going to pull out completely, but instead will extend its license to explore rather than moving on to full scale exploitation. Basically, this means mining has been put on hold and the tar sands are safe in the ground – for now. We have seen the devastation that has occurred in the Canadian tar sands mining areas. TED.
