More about this programme: www.bbc.co.uk Hans Rosling's famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport's commentator's style to reveal the story of the world's past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of 'The Joy of Stats' he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120000 numbers - in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.. + Informações

-CNS=Central Nervous System -Multiple sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata) is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system, leading to demyelination. Disease onset usually occurs in young adults, and it is more common in women. It has a prevalence that ranges between 2 and 150 per 100000. MS was first described in 1868 by Jean-Martin Charcot. MS affects the areas of the brain and spinal cord known as the white matter, destroying a fatty layer called the myelin sheath, which wraps around nerve fibers and electrically insulates them. When myelin is lost, the axons of neurons can no longer effectively conduct action potentials. The name multiple sclerosis refers to the scars (scleroses better known as plaques or lesions) in the white matter. Although much is known about the mechanisms involved in the disease process, the cause remains unknown. Theories include genetics or infections. Different environmental risk factors have also been found. Almost any neurological symptom can appear with the disease, and often progresses to physical and cognitive disability. MS takes several forms, with new symptoms occurring either in discrete attacks (relapsing forms) or slowly accumulating over time (progressive forms). Between attacks, symptoms may go away completely, but permanent neurological problems often occur, especially as the disease advances. There is no known cure for MS .... + Informações

Black Prophecy is free to play 3D sci-fi MMORPG set in the 26th century. It is developed by Reakktor Media and published by Gamigo Games. Story: "Mankind has expanded across the galaxy, yet only few of its colonies are controlled by Humans. Two main factions dominate space: the cybernetically enhanced Tyi and the biogenetically perfected Genides. On their quest for territorial domination they enter the territory of an ancient alien race called the "Restorers", whom exhibit a destructive behaviour to other civilizations. The player is asked to join one of these two dominant races to uncover the mystery of the Restorers and grant the survival of the three human species." Factions: The Tyi - The Tyi (abbreviation for Tactical Yeomen Inhabitants, pronounced Tai) are a race of cybernetically enhanced superhumans, with great strength and endurance, both physically and mentally. They are resistant to radiation, have independent bloodstreams as well as backup organs, speak all languages and are true multitaskers. They also gather and process data at an increased rate. The Genides - The Genides are a race of genetically perfected humans, designed to be able to better resist the unusual and partially hostile environments in space and on the colony planets. They require barely any sleep, heal wounds quickly and can communicate telepathically. In addition, most of them are resistant to disease and epidemics, think faster, detect ultra- and infra-sounds and have a long life expectancy .... + Informações

Organic Light Emitting DiodesOrganic Light-Emitting Diode technology, also abbreviated OLED, is relatively new but very promising, especially what concerns design of data display devices. OLEDs' main difference from other LEDs is that they are made of organic compounds which emit light in response to an electric current. This feature determines their main properties.OLEDs are made of special thin-film multilayer structures. These layers are special polymers. There is anode and cathode. Electrons can flow between them. When positive voltage is applied to the anode then electrons from the cathode start moving towards it. That means that the cathode emits them into the emissive layer while the anode gets them from a conductive layer. As the result of the flow of charged particles the layers acquire different charges. The emissive layer is charged negatively while holes appear in the conductive layer which charges positively. Under the influence of static electricity electrons and holes meet, and recombination occurs. A peculiar feature of organic matter is that the holes have greater mobility as compared with electrons. Thus recombination occurs closer to the emissive layer. Electrons' energy is decreasing which is accompanied by the emission of electromagnetic radiation into space in the form of a visible light.To improve the technology several of its aspects may be researched further. This can be the chemical composition of layers, enriching additive agents, and new .... + Informações

Seattle, WA 98109 c/o Sonny Kwan Multiple sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata) is an inflammatory disease in which the fatty myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading to demyelination and scarring as well as a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms. Disease onset usually occurs in young adults, and it is more common in women. It has a prevalence that ranges between 2 and 150 per 100000. MS was first described in 1868 by Jean-Martin Charcot. MS affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other. Nerve cells communicate by sending electrical signals called action potentials down long fibers called axons, which are wrapped in an insulating substance called myelin. In MS, the body's own immune system attacks and damages the myelin. When myelin is lost, the axons can no longer effectively conduct signals.The name multiple sclerosis refers to scars (scleroses?better known as plaques or lesions) particularly in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, which is mainly composed of myelin.

thefilmarchive.org Hand-to-hand combat (sometimes abbreviated as HTH or H2H) is a generic term often referring to weaponless fighting conducted from a military based point of view. The phrase "hand-to-hand" indicates unarmed combat but often allows for the consideration of weapons usage and implementation. Close combat is the common term for combat within close range. It may include lethal and nonlethal methods across a "spectrum of violence" or within a "continuum of force" as established by rules of engagement. Unarmed close combat is sometimes called combatives. Close combat with weapons may be called close quarter battle at the squad level. Current NATO terminology is to use 'MOUT'(Military Operations on Urban Terrain) for higher-level strategic and tactical considerations of urban warfare or MOOTW for "military operations other than war" such as peacekeeping or disaster relief. Combatives is a term used to describe various hybrid martial arts, which incorporate techniques from several different martial arts and combat sports. Close combat is the most ancient form of fighting known. A majority of cultures have their own particular histories related to close combat, and their own methods of practice. There are many varieties within the martial arts, including boxing and wrestling. Other variations include the gladiator spectacles of ancient Rome and medieval tournament events such as jousting. Military organizations have always taught some sort of unarmed combat for .... + Informações

NOTE: Not EVERYTHING done in the clip is obligatory. I made this clear in the annotations. If someone is confused or mislead because he did not read, that is not my fault. READ. ------------------------- TRANSLATION OF HEBREW sagavyah.tripod.com INFORMATION ON BOWING sagavyah.tripod.com --------------- In our days there are not many Jews who still kneel and bow during regular daily prayer. A noticable number of Orthodox Ashkenazi Jews do bow to the ground during Yom haKipurim and Rosh haShana. Most Jews are not even aware that such is the historical practice of the Jewish people to kneel and prostrate during regular daily prayer. Therefore, be prepared that if you kneel or prostrate in most synagogues, you are sure to get reactions of surprise. They may or may not be encouraging reactions. Nonetheless, so long as you are still able to concentrate properly while praying and are willing to endure the possible consequences of bowing and prostrating in public, I only encourage you to do so. It is a shame to fear men more than the Most High. How can bowing or prostrating be a sign of arrogance, especially when you know people may look upon you negatively for doing so? Rather, it is an expression of humility and submission to the Almighty. The .... + Informações

This video is a response to a perceived dumbing down of the workings of YouTube, discouraging thoughtful video/text discussion as well as hindering the usability of the website. What prompted this commentary was a series of small changes that have been made to the YouTube's interface over the past couple of days, including truncating the displayed names of videos on a member's profile videos page to 27 characters (followed by an elipsis). They've also added some sort of weird, "interactive" bubble thing that isn't worth taking the the time to describe, but the video titles in that are truncated at somewhere just over 20 characters. Despite the fact that it warn't broke, it seems that YouTube is attempting to refine the way in which they deliver videos, and I feel that many of the changes they're making are indicative of a general deemphasis on textual information in favor of wacky pet videos and thumbnails of wacky pet videos. In a practical sense, this style of presenting videos impairs the functionality of the website by providing less information about the videos one is browsing through. I've already encountered videos in a series that are indistinguishable from one another other than their icons because most videos posted in a series are listed by a general title and then followed by a descriptor like "(1 of 10)." When that information is at the end of a title that's too long (by YouTube's standards), it gets cut off on the page that indexes a members' videos .... + Informações

The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has ensured that the role of behavioral health in the overall health care system will change. Now, it is more important than ever to know how health care reform will affect you and your role and the role of states, behavioral health care providers, and consumers. Due to the breadth of the new law, ACA sets forth concepts that are new to many individuals and families that currently or will receive mental health and addiction services. Recognizing the importance of understanding these new concepts, SAMHSA is hosting a fall webinar series. This webinar covered how health care reform will affect the role of states, behavioral health providers and consumers; what is considered a health home; what services are provided in a health home setting; and which states are currently using health homes. Evidence-based approaches for people with co-occurring disorders and the role accountable care organizations will play was also discussed. The webinar is part of SAMHSA's Health Care Reform Webinar Series.
