Les bases de données gratuites Près de 20 ans après sa création, le répertoire de bases de Données grAtuites Disponibles sur Internet ferme ses portes. Crée en 1996 Dadi, produit pionnier et phare de l’URFIST de Lyon, a eu pour objectif de recenser les ressources libres disponibles sur le Web à une époque où ce dernier faisait ses premiers pas, sans moteurs de recherches. Jean Pierre Lardy, alors co-responsable de l’Urfist de Lyon et enseignant chercheur en physique, a imaginé puis animé Dadi pendant une quinzaine d’années, dans le but de donner à voir les ressources du web invisible en libre accès utiles au monde académique. Véritable aide à la recherche dans un univers en pleine mutation, DADI connaîtra un usage important et comptera parmi les ressources incontournables en France pour la recherche d’information. Son impact rayonnera dans les pays francophones comme la Belgique et le Canada. La Bibliothèque Nationale de France a réalisé un archivage régulier de Dadi.

Ways Adults With Asperger's Syndrome Can Improve Their Social Skills I've read quite a bit about Asperger's Syndrome, in books and academic articles, but also through a ton of forum posts by people who have it.

People with Asperger's Syndrome often have extremely mixed feelings about the idea of improving their social skills. Someone else may decide that some aspects of socializing rub them the wrong way, but they're willing to be pragmatic and play along to get what they want.

Space Today Online -- Solar System Planet Earth -- Ancient Astro A European researcher has interpreted carvings in a 32,500-year-old ivory tablet as a pattern of the same stars that we see in the sky today in the constellation Orion. The tablet is a sliver of ivory from the tusk of a mammoth — a large woolly animal like an elephant. Mammoths are extinct today. Carved into the ivory is what appears to be a carving of a human figure with outstretched arms and legs. The pose suggests the stars of Orion, according to Michael Rappenglueck, formerly of the University of Munich, known for his interpretation of ancient star charts painted on walls of prehistoric caves. The ivory tablet has notches carved on its sides and back, which are not understood but might be an ancient pregnancy calendar to estimate when a woman would give birth. The tiny piece of ivory was in a cave in the Ach Valley in the Alb-Danube region of Germany when it was discovered in 1979. Stone Age people. The Orion constellation is known to stargazers today as "the hunter." Summer Triangle.
