Insane Assassin's Creed III concept art by William Wu. 9 vídeos para educar en emociones - La Mente Es Maravillosa Nos enseñaron desde niños cómo se forma un cuerpo, sus órganos, sus huesos, sus funciones, sus sitios, pero nunca supimos de qué estaba hecha el almaMario Benedetti Educar la inteligencia emocional de nuestros niños es una tarea necesaria y esencial para que crezcan sanos y fuertes.

Así, el objetivo principal es conseguir que nuestros niños sientan placer al sentir y demostrar sus propias emociones. A su vez, lograremos cimentar la base de una actitud empática que desarrolle el resto de valores y la identidad emocional. En la imagen siguiente, elaborada por la Escuela de Superpadres, os acercamos algunos consejos que os pueden ser de ayuda para gestionar las emociones de manera positiva. De 0 a 6 años 1.

Astrophysicist Writes Brutal Response To WSJ Article Claiming Science Has Proven God Exists Recently – Christmas Day, in fact – the Wall Street Journal published an article by a Christian apologist who boldly declared that science was “increasingly” making the case for God, year-after-year. Eric Metaxas is best known as a biographical writer, but he is also lauded (in conservative circles) for his work promoting the pro-life movement and making sweeping, outrageous conclusions about the existence of God based on whatever tenuous evidence seems handy at the time. If sweeping, outrageous conclusions be Metaxas bread-and-butter, than his Wall Street Journal article is perhaps his magnum opus. It’s a doozy. After subtitling his work “The odds of life existing on another planet grow ever longer. The arguments aren’t new. Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life—every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart.

A Guy Created Hilarious Fake Animal Facts & Put Them Up At The Zoo If you've ever been to a zoo, you know that those little 'blurbs' on the animal signs can often go overlooked. Most people don't care what country the red-tailed hawk originated from or the typical shade of bamboo koalas prefers to snack on at night. Comedian Jeff Wysaski (aka Obvious Plant), decided to spice up those fun facts by making them, well, not facts at all. Lies, I guess you could call them. Check out a handful of his signs below, and for more of his work check him out here. Body Painter Transforms Humans Into Breathtaking Portraits Of Animals There’s more to this beautiful heron than meets the eye. It’s actually a human body covered intricately in paint. The stunning work was created by artist Shannon Holt, a body painter from Florida who’s known for her ability to transform the human body into a canvas for beautiful art. The piece is part of Holt’s “Florida Wildlife Series,” a collection of several animal portraits, all painstakingly drawn on human bodies. In a May interview with the Daytona Beach News-Journal, Holt explained what it is about body painting as a medium that she loves so much. “You can have a really beautiful work that transforms the body into a human sculpture or abstract piece that touches on art history, or is a master copy of an Italian Renaissance painting,” she told the news outlet. She added that she loves the “ephemeral” nature of body painting. Scroll down to see more images of Holt’s "Florida Wildlife Series." Ryder Gledhill / Shannon Holt / Caters News Honey Bees

An American Tragedy The election of Donald Trump to the Presidency is nothing less than a tragedy for the American republic, a tragedy for the Constitution, and a triumph for the forces, at home and abroad, of nativism, authoritarianism, misogyny, and racism. Trump’s shocking victory, his ascension to the Presidency, is a sickening event in the history of the United States and liberal democracy. On January 20, 2017, we will bid farewell to the first African-American President—a man of integrity, dignity, and generous spirit—and witness the inauguration of a con who did little to spurn endorsement by forces of xenophobia and white supremacy. There are, inevitably, miseries to come: an increasingly reactionary Supreme Court; an emboldened right-wing Congress; a President whose disdain for women and minorities, civil liberties and scientific fact, to say nothing of simple decency, has been repeatedly demonstrated. All along, Trump seemed like a twisted caricature of every rotten reflex of the radical right.

A4 Papercuts Ogni scultura cartacea realizzata dall’artista Peter Callesen ha un unico punto di partenza: un candido e standardizzato foglio formato A4. Quello che accade dopo il “trattamento Callesen” lo potete vedere con i vostri occhi. Uccelli in procinto di spiccare il volo, scheletri che prendono vita… “The negative and absent 2 dimensional space left by the cut, points out the contrast to the 3 dimensional reality it creates, even though the figures still stick to their origin without the possibility of escaping“.

How To Fathom Pi: Amazing Visual Illustrations Distribution of the first 123,201 digits of π mapped onto a red-yellow-blue Brewer palette and placed as circles on an Archimedean spiral by Martin Krzywinski Pi is, quite possibly, the most famous number known to man.* This fact is a little bit ironic, as we don’t actually have a number for pi. Well, not a complete number anyways, because pi never ends. If you are unfamiliar with this number, pi is the mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, and it is typically written as 3.14159 . However, (despite some minor set backs) the quest to understand pi continues. Recently, Cristian Ilies Vasile created an amazing way to visualize pi. This visual representation was created by a 41 year old individual who suffered brain damage after being attacked by muggers. Jason Padgett can produce a visual representation of the formula Pi, the infinite number which begins with 3.14 Jolene Creighton

Ancient Babylonian Tablet Explained As A Trigonometric Table Almost a century ago, Edgar Banks – the inspiration for Indiana Jones – dug up a clay tablet in southern Iraq, but it took until now for its meaning to be understood. With this explanation has come insight into Babylonian mathematics, which operated on a different, and in some ways preferable, system than our own. In 1945, it was realized that the tablet, known as Plimpton 322 after it was sold to collector George Plimpton for $10, had mathematical significance, but the details remained a mystery. Plimpton 322's burial location in what was once the city of Larsa indicates it's 3,700 years old, dating from the time of Hammurabi, who established one the earliest surviving legal codes. “The huge mystery, until now, was its purpose – why the ancient scribes carried out the complex task of generating and sorting the numbers on the tablet,” Mansfield continued. Mansfield became interested in the problem and collaborated with his colleague Dr Norman Wildberger to try to unravel it.
