Networking In 2009 many people found out just how harsh our economy can be when millions lost their job and had to try to pay their rent/mortgage and bills through unemployment benefits. People try to get employment assistance but some find out that they ridiculously make too much on their unemployment to be eligible for government help. It is a whirl-wind effect and we are all caught up in the slow recovery of the greatest recession since the great depression seventy years ago. Working online has become the best option for many people who are having a hard time finding an outside job. A large percentage of people have found their talent in writing, if there is no talent they have the ability to at least write an article and make it sound convincing and this is how many people earn their income online. E-books are more popular than they have ever been since most people have a multimedia plug and play device such as an Ipod that they can download e-books to or even to look up online articles.
W. Bradford Paley: Map of science image in the journal Nature Update: This has now been published in many more places: the original Nature article, Discover Magazine, SEED, Geo, the Eastern European Edition and India, Brazil, etc., and more books and papers. Since the image has proven to be popular (we still get print & publication requests, four lears later!), I decided to rework the existing image layers, modifying only the graphical representation—no structure—to see whether I could improve the information layering and remedy some of the faults I outline at the bottom of this page. I was surprised at how much clearer it could be made. Fewer distracting lines: nodes are now a single visual element rather than an outline and a central dot. What follows is the original posting. The journal Nature chose an image that spatially lays out different areas of science in a plane. Research and node layout by Kevin Boyack and Dick Klavans; data from Thompson ISI; graphics & typography by W. Pictorial/communicative inspirations: Current Strengths:
Platonischer Körper Die Platonischen Körper sind konvex. In jeder Ecke des Körpers treffen jeweils gleich viele gleich lange Kanten zusammen, an jeder Kante treffen sich zwei kongruente Flächen, und jede Fläche hat gleich viele Ecken. Es ist also nicht möglich, irgendwelche zwei Ecken, Kanten und Flächen aufgrund von Beziehungen zu anderen Punkten des Polyeders voneinander zu unterscheiden. Verzichtet man auf die Ununterscheidbarkeit der Flächen und Kanten, spricht man von archimedischen Körpern. Alternative Definitionen[Bearbeiten] Man betrachte die Symmetrieabbildungen, welche einen Polyeder mittels Drehungen, Spiegelungen und Translationen auf sich selbst abbilden. Grundlegende Eigenschaften[Bearbeiten] Platonische Körper haben folgende Eigenschaften:[3] Typen[Bearbeiten] Anzahl[Bearbeiten] Für jede Polyederecke ist die Summe der Innenwinkel aller angrenzenden Flächen kleiner als 360°. Damit ist bewiesen, dass es nicht mehr als fünf Platonische Körper geben kann. Dualität[Bearbeiten] Symmetrie[Bearbeiten] und .

Forty Portraits in Forty Years Text by SUSAN MINOT Nicholas Nixon was visiting his wife’s family when, “on a whim,” he said, he asked her and her three sisters if he could take their picture. It was summer 1975, and a black-and-white photograph of four young women — elbows casually attenuated, in summer shirts and pants, standing pale and luminous against a velvety background of trees and lawn — was the result. Who are these sisters? Whenever a woman is photographed, the issue of her vanity is inevitably raised, but Nixon has finessed this with his choice of natural light, casual manner and unfussy preparation. Throughout this series, we watch these women age, undergoing life’s most humbling experience. It is the endurance of sisterhood in particular. The deepening of the sisters’ relationships extends to the one with Nixon. As we come to the last pictures, we feel the final inevitability that, as Nixon says, “Everyone won’t be here forever.”

Stroud council working towards a 'carbon neutral district' by 2030 - Gloucestershire Live Stroud District Council is working out how it will help the whole district become carbon neutral by 2030. In order to protect future generations against climate change, the council's Environment Committee is being asked to approve a framework of measures to help the district achieve this goal. Today (Thursday, June 6) the committee will be asked to vote on setting up a cross-party group of councillors and council staff to co-ordinate a long list of actions aimed at achieving the status. Those actions include retrofitting homes with greener energy options, more work on low carbon heating and working with the transport authority to offer more low carbon transport options. They will also look at new renewable energy developments, implementing investment and including provision in new developments for cycle paths, working with partners to achieve effective community engagement, and recruiting a new post to achieve these actions. The full report is available here.
A few things you shouldn't say to a childless woman Not all women can have babies or want to have babies. Photo: Kylie Pickett There are two words for the woman who reached over the table, grabbed my hand and in a consolatory tone announced, ''It's a tragedy you never got around to having children. Those words are ''shut'' and ''up'' (the printable response) or, more charitably, ''think'' and ''first''. The would-be Buddhist in me told me these were her issues. But I still wanted to thump her. Advertisement Most of the childless women I know do find peace with their circumstances, even if it takes some time. I believe children are a gift and not a given in life, and those who receive should be grateful. A guised compliment does not a sympathetic or empathetic person make. A friend of mine who is a well-known celebrity understands this. I was with a girlfriend who had recently been told to give up on IVF and witnessed her pain when the ''you don't know love until you have a child'' remark was dropped at a party.

Voynich-Manuskript Textprobe aus dem Voynich-Manuskript Illustrationsbeispiel Aufgeschlagenes Manuskript (Nachbildung) mit ausgeklappter Seite Nach Ansicht zweier amerikanischer Botaniker, Arthur O. Dies könnte darauf hindeuten, dass das Voynich-Manuskript in Mittelamerika gezeichnet und in einer mittelamerikanischen Sprache geschrieben wurde. Geschichte des Manuskripts[Bearbeiten] Da der Inhalt bisher nicht entschlüsselt werden konnte, stützt die Datierung des Manuskripts sich lediglich auf die Illustrationen. Erst 2009 wurden an Instituten in Chicago und Arizona kleinste Proben von vier verschiedenen Seiten untersucht. Bildausschnitt von Seite 86v, der eine Burg mit Schwalbenschwanzzinnen zeigt. Der nächste bekannte Besitzer war nach dem Begleitbrief Georg Baresch, ein wenig bekannter Alchemist, der zu Beginn des 17. Was in den über 200 Jahren zwischen 1666 und 1870 mit dem Manuskript geschah, ist bislang unbekannt. Es ist umstritten, auf welche Weise das Manuskript in Voynichs Besitz überging.
