Visualizing The Frightening Power of Nuclear Bombs We have all heard about the massively destructive force that is nuclear weaponry, with the astonishing end of World War II to prove it. The world was caught off guard by the utter destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the U.S. dropped the 15 kiloton Little Boy and 21 kiloton Fat Man. The two Japanese cities were leveled in seconds, killing hundreds of thousands from the initial blast and later radiation poisoning. It would be difficult to call their impact small, but those bombs were only a shadow of the weapons to come. Following the war, with the growing Cold War and nuclear arms race between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S., devastatingly large bombs were introduced, growing in size and destructive power with each year. The pinnacle of nuclear bomb development came with the aptly named Tsar Bomba, which the Russians nicknamed the Kuz’kina Mat (roughly translating to “we will show you”). In case you wanted a better sense of scale, here is a much reduced version of the graphic.
GISS: G.Projector - Global Map Projector G.Projector transforms an equirectangular map image into any of over 125 global and regional map projections. Longitude-latitude gridlines and continental outlines may be drawn on the map, and the resulting image may be saved to disk in GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG, PS or TIFF form. G.Projector is a cross-platform application that runs on Macintosh, Windows, Linux and other desktop computers. The current version of G.Projector is 1.8, released 2015-09-18. Get G.Projector G.Projector requires that your computer have a Java 7 or 8 runtime environment, or better, installed. Download G.Projector Additional CNO/CNOB overlay files compatible with G.Projector are available from the Panoply software collection of optional "outline overlays".

Cartographie politique Francis Alÿs, The green line La cartographie comme outil de lutte post-coloniale, c’est l’ambitieux projet du duo ‘Le peuple qui manque’ dans l’exposition « Atlas critique » au Parc Saint-Léger (jusqu’au 27 mai). Le fait que la carte ait été un instrument de conquête, de colonisation, et de normativité dans l’expansion des pouvoirs européens (mais sans doute aussi des empires chinois ou ottomans) est posé comme un point de départ, mais on aurait aimé que cette exposition eût été faite en collaboration avec un historien cartographe pour justement montrer ce contrepoint et faire en parallèle un historique de la cartographie comme instrument de pouvoir : il n’est question ici que de contre-pouvoir et non du pouvoir lui-même, et l’affirmation de la cartographie comme ‘matrice idéologique impérialiste’ ne se fait que dans les notes de bas de page du texte de présentation, et non dans les salles de l'exposition.

Flex Projector 40 maps that explain the world By Max Fisher By Max Fisher August 12, 2013 Maps can be a remarkably powerful tool for understanding the world and how it works, but they show only what you ask them to. So when we saw a post sweeping the Web titled "40 maps they didn't teach you in school," one of which happens to be a WorldViews original, I thought we might be able to contribute our own collection. Some of these are pretty nerdy, but I think they're no less fascinating and easily understandable. A majority are original to this blog, with others from a variety of sources. I've included a link for further reading on close to every one. [Additional read: How Ukraine became Ukraine and 40 more maps that explain the world] Click to enlarge.
La Musique à travers le monde Je participe au de DELFYNUS: Rappel: un rallye-liens c'est une sorte de réseau de bonnes idées sur un thème particulier... Celui-ci est axé sur la Musique et est intitulé: Ce sont ceux que j'utilise(rai) dans le cadre de MON PROJET ANNUEL: DE PAYS EN PAYS FAISONS LE TOUR DU MONDE. J'ai suivi la séance proposée dans le livre de retz (p.112): Ils proposent l'écoute d'une chanson traditionnelle: "PUKA PULIRAITCHA": Après avoir échangé sur la langue, le pays... nous nous sommes concentrés sur les instruments et surtout la flûte de pan que nous avons pu voir en vrai: Puis nous avons découvert un conte musical où la musique traditionnelle était très présente: Palomita et le secret des indiens de Chacohuma de Marlène Jobert. Les Etats-Unis: Nous avons écouté la chanson: "Ten little Indians" (Issue du Cd de Retz cité ci-dessus) Ten little indians sur youtube Les paroles: ICI Nous avons appris: NAGAWIKA: Vous trouverez les paroles de la chanson: ICI LA France: LA MARSEILLAISE: ça y est j'ai osé!

This map of Earth is the most accurate ever produced, and it looks completely different | indy100 Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa claims to have tackled a centuries-old problem - how to draw an oblate spheroid Earth on a flat plane. He claims the above map, called the AuthaGraph World Map, achieves this task. The projection, first created in 1999, frames the world's physical components in a 2D rectangle, attempting to represent their relative sizes as accurately as possible. It does so by dividing the world into 96 triangles, making it a tetrahedron, then unfolding it to become a rectangle. Unlike the traditional Mercator map, made in the 16th century, which overstates the size of northern areas like Greenland and minimizes that of central areas like Africa, the AuthaGraph World Map retains parity of area to a 3D projection. The projection recently won the 2016 good design grand award in Japan, an awards evening founded in 1957 by the Japanese ministry of international trade and industry. Narukawa also gave a Ted talk on his projection in 2011:
