Compressed Air-Powered Tata Vehicle to Get 200 Km/125 Miles Range. Using a special prototype, Tata have announced that they were able to boost the existing range of the vehicle, and it can now reportedly travel as much as 200 km or 125 miles, before needing to be recharged.

Compressed Air-Powered Tata Vehicle to Get 200 Km/125 Miles Range

Despite being cheap and very efficient to run (only costs the equivalent of 3 Euro Cents per mile), it will be a joystick-driven modern machine, which has a top speed of 80 km/h or 50 mph - exactly the same as other small city-oriented green cars, like the Renault Twizy, which we tested and were very impressed by. Tata seems to be avoiding giving an exact date for when the car is to be launched, but since the technology itself is very simple, and India needs a cheap and revolutionary form of transportation, they`d better do it sooner rather than later. However, with an expected price of around €7,000, for what is basically a 300 kg covered motorcycle, some may find it a tad on the expensive side.

Still, for what is esentially more or less an EV, it is not that expensive. C/2021 A1 (Leonard) Hyperbolic comet We ask you, humbly: don't scroll away.

Hi reader. The Ego in Freud's Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis. The Ego in Freud's Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis is the 1988 English-language translation of (French: Le séminaire.

The Ego in Freud's Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis

Livre II. Le moi dans la théorie de Freud et dans la technique de la psychanalyse) published in Paris by Le Seuil in 1977. The text of the Seminar, which was held by Jacques Lacan at the Hospital of Sainte-Anne in Paris between the Fall of 1954 and the Spring of 1955 and is the second one in the series, was established by Jacques-Alain Miller and translated by Sylvana Tomaselli.

Background[edit] Jacques Lacan. Jacques Marie Émile Lacan (French: [ʒak lakɑ̃]; 13 April 1901 – 9 September 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who has been called "the most controversial psycho-analyst since Freud".[1] Giving yearly seminars in Paris from 1953 to 1981, Lacan influenced many leading French intellectuals in the 1960s and the 1970s, especially those associated with poststructuralism.

Jacques Lacan

His ideas had a significant impact on critical theory, literary theory, 20th-century French philosophy, sociology, feminist theory, film theory and clinical psychoanalysis.[2] Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Probability Tree Diagrams. Calculating probabilities can be hard, sometimes we add them, sometimes we multiply them, and often it is hard to figure out what to do ... tree diagrams to the rescue!

Probability Tree Diagrams

Here is a tree diagram for the toss of a coin: We can extend the tree diagram to two tosses of a coin: How do we calculate the overall probabilities? We multiply probabilities along the branches We add probabilities down columns Now we can see such things as: Everyday Sociology Blog: Probability vs. Certainty. By Karen Sternheimer In a recent class discussion, we talked about the connection between children who have parents who are incarcerated and the likelihood of future incarceration for those children.

Everyday Sociology Blog: Probability vs. Certainty

One student had trouble understanding how all kids in this situation don’t end up in prison someday. After all, don’t we all just follow our parents’ examples? Quantum Physics: Probability vs. Certainty. It is absolutely impossible to read any popular account on quantum physics without running into the words “probability” or “uncertainty” if not in each and every paragraph, then at least on each and every page.

Quantum Physics: Probability vs. Certainty

Quantum physics and probability fit together like a left hand and a left handed glove! But it’s all bovine fertiliser since the concept of probability is a human concept that has no real application in Mother Nature’s realm. It is claimed that quantum physics is based not on certainty (i.e. – causality) but on probability, and therefore Mother Nature places the cosmos ultimately under wraps, under a restriction that there just are some secrets that are Hers and Hers alone to know, and not for us mere mortals.

The Sixth Assessment Report consists of contributions from each of the three IPCC Working Groups and a Synthesis Report (SYR), which integrates the Working Group contributions and the Special Reports produced in the cycle.

The meeting to draft the outline of the Sixth Assessment Report took place in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) in May 2017. The draft outlines were approved by the 46th Session of the Panel in September 2017. The approved outline for the working group I contribution is here The First Order Draft of the Working Group I contribution to AR6 underwent an expert review (29 April – 23 June 2019). Lili Elbe. Danish painter Early life[edit] It is generally believed that Elbe was born in 1882, in Vejle, Denmark.

Lili Elbe

Her year of birth is sometimes stated as 1886, which appears to be from a book about her which has some facts changed to protect the identities of the persons involved. Facts about the life of her wife Gerda Gottlieb suggest that the 1882 date is correct because they married while at college in 1904, when Elbe would have been just eighteen if the 1886 date were correct.[10][11] Gerda Wegener. Danish artist Gerda Marie Fredrikke Wegener (née Gottlieb; 15 March 1886 – 28 July 1940) was a Danish illustrator and painter.

Gerda Wegener

Wegener is known for her fashion illustrations and later her paintings that pushed the boundaries of gender and love of her time. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Chemical compound which is reduced and oxidized Chemical compound In organisms, NAD can be synthesized from simple building-blocks (de novo) from either tryptophan or aspartic acid, each a case of an amino acid; alternatively, more complex components of the coenzymes are taken up from nutritive compounds such as niacin; similar compounds are produced by reactions that break down the structure of NAD, providing a salvage pathway that “recycles” them back into their respective active form. Some NAD is converted into the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP); its chemistry largely parallels that of NAD, though predominantly its role is as a cofactor in anabolic metabolism.

Bruno Schulz. Polish Jewish writer and artist Biography[edit] Schulz was born in Drohobych, Austrian Galicia, historically part of the Kingdom of Poland before the three partitions, and today part of Ukraine. After World War One, Drohobycz became part of the Lwów Voivodeship. Bruno Schulz was the son of cloth merchant Jakub Schulz and Henrietta née Kuhmerker.[2] At a very early age, he developed an interest in the arts. He attended Władysław Jagiełło Middle School in Drohobych from 1902 to 1910, graduating with honours.[3] Then he studied architecture at Lviv Polytechnic. Mescaline. Mescaline or 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine is a naturally occurring psychedelic alkaloid of the phenethylamine class, known for its hallucinogenic effects similar to those of LSD and psilocybin.

It shares strong structural similarities with the catecholamine dopamine. It occurs naturally in the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii),[1] the San Pedro cactus[2] (Echinopsis pachanoi) and in the Peruvian torch (Echinopsis peruviana), and as well in a number of other members of the Cactaceae plant family. Senegalia berlandieri. Species of plant Senegalia berlandieri (Berlandier acacia, guajillo acacia, guajillo, huajillo, huajilla) is a shrub native to the Southwestern United States and northeast Mexico that belongs to the Mimosoid clade of Fabaceae. It grows 1 to 5 metres (3.3 to 16.4 ft) tall, with blossoms that are spherical and white, occurring from February through April.[1] The berlandieri epithet comes from the name of Jean-Louis Berlandier,[2] a French naturalist who studied wildlife native to Texas and Mexico.

Polymath. Individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects A polymath (Greek: πολυμαθής, polymathēs, "having learned much"; Latin: homo universalis, "universal person")[1] is an individual whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects, known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. In Western Europe, the first work to use the term polymathy in its title (De Polymathia tractatio: integri operis de studiis veterum) was published in 1603 by Johann von Wowern, a Hamburg philosopher.[2][3][4] Von Wowern defined polymathy as "knowledge of various matters, drawn from all kinds of studies ... ranging freely through all the fields of the disciplines, as far as the human mind, with unwearied industry, is able to pursue them".[2] Von Wowern lists erudition, literature, philology, philomathy and polyhistory as synonyms.
