Metatron's Cube. Metatron's Cube Description[edit] The pattern delineated by many of the lines can be created by orthographic projections of the first three Platonic solids.

Metatron's Cube

Specifically, the line pattern includes projections of a double tetrahedron (aka stellated octahedron), a cube within a cube (a three-dimensional projection of a tesseract), and an octahedron. Although the image below shows the dodecahedron and the icosahedron fitting the pattern of Metatron's Cube, the vertices of those shapes do not coincide with the centers of the 13 circles (the icosahedron projection in the image below is false).

To explain how ALL platonic solids fit within the design. See also[edit] Multiview orthographic projection References[edit] External links[edit] - animated creation of Metatron's cube using PaperJS.

Novella As A Series: An Easier Road For First Time Authors

You are likely looking to push past 80,000 words, 100,000 or possibly over 300,000 for a final draft. I imagine your book is consuming much of your time. No matter you say. It will all be worth it because you’re going to hit it out of the park. How can you be so sure that your large investment in time and effort will pay off? What if I told you there are fairly successful and fundamental business principles that you can apply right now to increase your books’ chances of success? Smallest Possible Product What exactly are these principles you ask. In this case, many new businesses will make a minimal product rather than going full tilt with months of production. The Series Rather than stamping out a 100,00 plus word novel, consider turning it into a series.

Just as a new company with a new product is in a high risk category, as a first time author, you’re in the same boat. Hugh Howey, self-published author.

The "Red October" Campaign - An Advanced Cyber Espionage Network Targeting Diplomatic and Government Agencies

During the next days, we'll be publishing Part 2, which contains a detailed technical analysis of all the known modules. Please stay tuned. During the past five years, a high-level cyber-espionage campaign has successfully infiltrated computer networks at diplomatic, governmental and scientific research organizations, gathering data and intelligence from mobile devices, computer systems and network equipment.

Kaspersky Lab's researchers have spent several months analyzing this malware, which targets specific organizations mostly in Eastern Europe, former USSR members and countries in Central Asia, but also in Western Europe and North America. The campaign, identified as "Rocra", short for "Red October", is currently still active with data being sent to multiple command-and-control servers, through a configuration which rivals in complexity the infrastructure of the Flame malware.
