TUTO . com : Formation Photoshop, PHP, After Effects, Indesign ... 3,200 Year Old Tree Never Been Captured In A Single Image... (Distractify) Cloaked in the snows of California’s Sierra Nevada, the 3,200-year-old giant sequoia called the President rises 247 feet. Two other sequoias have wider trunks, but none has a larger crown, say the scientists who climbed it. The figure at top seems taller than the other climbers because he’s standing forward on one of the great limbs. The trunk is 27 feet wide and the his mighty branches hold 2 billion needles, the most of any tree on the planet. On top of that, he still adds one cubic meter of wood per year – making him one of the fastest growing trees in the world. Giant sequoias exist in only one place, where The President and smaller trees that make up his “House” and “Senate”, reside. The team painstakingly put together a set of pulleys and levers to climb the tree. Awesome stuff. Chael Nichols, Ngm staff. Order Large Format Prints at: NationalGeographicCart.com

Toy Awards 10 Most Magnificent Trees in the World "A tree is a wonderful living organism which gives shelter, food, warmth and protection to all living things. It even gives shade to those who wield an axe to cut it down" - Buddha. There are probably hundreds of majestic and magnificent trees in the world - of these, some are particularly special: 10. Lone Cypress in Monterey (Image credit: bdinphoenix [flickr]) (Image credit: mikemac29 [flickr]) Buffeted by the cold Pacific Ocean wind, the scraggly Lone Cypress [wiki] (Cupressus macrocarpa) in Pebble Beach, Monterey Peninsula, California, isn't a particularly large tree. 9. As a hobby, bean farmer Axel Erlandson [wiki] shaped trees - he pruned, bent, and grafted trees into fantastic shapes and called them "Circus Trees."

Types of 4D BIM Construction Scheduling Techniques 4D BIM is an excellent tool for managing material and resources on the field. The logical sequencing of onsite tasks and accurate budget estimation catalyze the way construction projects are designed, managed and developed. Traditional scheduling techniques have multiple challenges and limited benefits though the AEC industry is still comfortable with it. 2D scheduling and bar charts often throw up inaccurate layouts and obscure presentations, hampering informed decisions, delaying projects and adding to costs. 4D BIM’s accurate scheduling and sequencing features backed by visualization and coordination capabilities transforms the way architects, contractors and other stakeholders operate. READ HERE : What does 4D BIM Mean for Your Construction Business? Why is 4D BIM scheduling important for construction projects? 4D BIM Scheduling is important for construction projects as it helps engineers, designers, estimators and schedulers link 3D models to schedules. 1.Bar Charts or Gantt Charts

Un Christ à la main verte ? - L'image à la clé #2 — Noli me tangere Atelier de Rubens XVIIe siècle, Huile sur toile, 200x177,5 cm Conservé au Rijksmuseum Représenter le Christ ressuscité avec une bêche dans les mains, quelle drôle d’idée ? Pourtant c’est un motif fort répandu dans toute l’histoire de l’art classique. Jésus lui dit : « Femme, pourquoi pleures-tu ? Ce sont donc les paroles de Marie-Madeleine juste après la résurrection qui sont à l’origine de cette image. Comment peut-on identifier avec certitude Marie-Madeleine ? Elle est clairement identifiable grâce au pot de parfum blanc au premier plan, ce pot de parfum blanc nous ramène à l’épisode du repas chez Simon le pharisien. Quelles sont toutes ces plantes à l’arrière-plan ? On peut voir des carottes, des fleurs, mais aussi et surtout une fleur de courge.
