Thunderbird Free Download 17.0.6 for Linux i686, English (US) Earthquake visualization eAtlas of Gender is launched Gender equality matters for development The education and health levels of women and girls have improved greatly over the years. But in many parts of the world, women are still dying in childbirth, or not being born at all, at alarming rates. Women continue to lack voice and decision-making ability in the household and in society; and, their economic opportunities remain very constrained. This inequality is manifestly unfair. It is also bad economics: under-investing in girls and women puts a brake on poverty reduction and limits economic and social development. eAtlas of Gender The new World Bank eAtlas of Gender, the latest in a suite of user-friendly, interactive electronic atlases, allows users to map and graph dozens of gender indicators over time and across countries. To access the eAtlas of Gender, go to data.worldbank.org/atlas-gender Little Data Book on Gender This pocket guide has just been released and is a quick reference on gender statistics.
World Sunlight Map Watch the sun rise and set all over the world on this real-time, computer-generated illustration of the earth's patterns of sunlight and darkness. The clouds are updated daily with current weather satellite imagery. The Mercator projection used here is one way of looking at the spherical earth as a flat map. Used since the 16th century for navigation, straight lines on this map can be used accurately as compass bearings but the size and shape of continents are distorted. Compare this with Peters, Mollweide or equirectangular projection maps. Also available is a semi-realistic view of dawn and dusk from far above the Earth, a look at the moon, and information about how this works.
Invisible web invisible Des moteurs comme Google, MSN/Live Search, Yahoo! Search ou des répertoires tels que Yahoo! Directory ne vous donnent accès qu'à une petite partie (inférieure à 10%) du web, le Web Visible. La technologie de ces moteurs conventionnels ne permet pas d'accéder à une zone immense du web, le Web Invisible, espace beaucoup plus important que le web visible. Lors d'une navigation en Antarctique pour prélever des échantillons de glace sur des icebergs, si vous vous limitez à leur partie émergée, vous vous privez de la surface immergée, en moyenne 50 fois plus importante. Sur le web, c'est la même chose ! > Une partie du web est non accessible aux moteurs parce que : • Les documents, pages et sites web ou bases de données sont trop volumineux pour être entièrement indexés. • des pages sont protégées par l'auteur (balise meta qui stoppe le robot). • les pages sont protégées avec une authentification par identifiant (login) et mot de passe.
