Zachman Framework The Zachman Framework of enterprise architecture The Zachman Framework is not a methodology in that it does not imply any specific method or process for collecting, managing, or using the information that it describes.;[2] rather, it is an Ontology whereby a schema for organizing architectural artifacts (in other words, design documents, specifications, and models) is used to take into account both whom the artifact targets (for example, business owner and builder) and what particular issue (for example, data and functionality) is being addressed.[3] The framework is named after its creator John Zachman, who first developed the concept in the 1980s at IBM. Overview[edit] The term "Zachman Framework" has multiple meanings. Collage of Zachman Frameworks as presented in several books on Enterprise Architecture from 1997 to 2005. In other sources the Zachman Framework is introduced as a framework, originated by and named after John Zachman, represented in numerous ways, see image. Contextual
Paveikslai, sudėlioti iš žmonių Beveik prieš šimtą metų Artūras Mole (1889-1983) padarė seriją nuostabių masinių nuotraukų. Tam buvo organizuotos grupės iš tūkstančių kareivių. Jie išsidėstydavo taip, kad suformuotų patriotinius Jungtinės Amerikos Valstijų simbolius ir emblemas.
Fire and Water on a Hot, Turbulent Planet - Dot Earth Blog The Earth Observatory Web site of NASA is a vital portal, not only providing data that help scientists clarify global conditions and trends but also reminding people, once in awhile, of the special nature of this pale blue (and green) dot. Today’s images show the scope of two unfolding disasters — involving excessive fire and water — related to extreme climate conditions that are projected to become more frequent in a heating world. The fires sweeping parched, baked peat bogs and forests in western Russia have raised a vast smoke pall captured by NASA satellites. At the same time, NASA has posted images of the Indus River valley in Pakistan vividly showing the scope of severe flooding, the worst in 70 years, that has displaced several million people. Aug. 1, 2009: July 31, 2010: It sure would be nice if the budgets for satellite programs aimed at tracking conditions on the home planet were secure, given the importance of such data as the human growth spurt crests.
D&AD Design Fever The objective of Dentsu Japan was to design an exhibition space for the D&AD awards, the highest honor of the design industry. Target was Japanese design professionals. The motif came from pachinko, the Japanese pinball. Only ideas that go beyond uncontrollable variables such as luck or innate talent can win. Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan - Microbial Microcosm Just how interconnected are we? The work of biologist Lynn Margulis and writer Dorion Sagan indicates we’re interconnected in ways few of us have probably ever considered. In fact, instead of viewing ourselves as the pinnacle of evolution, it may be more accurate to think of ourselves as a colony of closely associated bacteria. Carla Cole based the following on the work of Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan, including an article of theirs, The Parts: Power to the Protoctists, which appeared in the September/October 1992 issue of Earthwatch. (See the sidebar for more information on their work.) All life on Earth today derived from common ancestors. Far from leaving microorganisms behind on an evolutionary ladder, we more complex creatures are both surrounded by them and composed of them. Bacteria survived these crises because of special abilities that other life forms lack and that add whole new dimensions to the dynamics of evolution.
Detalizuotos snaigių nuotraukos. "Dviejų identiškų snaigių nebūna", - teigė Wilsonas Alwynas Bentley. Ir juo tikrai galima pasikliauti, nes 60 savo gyvenimo metų Bentley skyrė snaigių fotografavimui. Fotoaparatas, kurį Wilsonas Bentley naudojo visą savo gyvenimą, kainavo jo tėvui šimtą dolerių, tais laikais tai buvo neleistino išlaidavimo pavyzdys. Prietaisas, kurį naudojo Bentley buvo paprasto fotoaparato ir mikroskopo junginys, kuris objektą padidindavo 64-3600 kartų. Šio savamokslio fotografo ir mokslininko, kurio pavyzdžiu sekė daugybė kitų fotografų ir meteorologų, talentas ir įgūdžiai nebuvo įvertinti.

CNN ECOSPHERE Challenge In November 2011, the UN invited delegates to discuss climate change at the COP17 Conference (17th Conference of Parties) in Durban, South Africa. CNN wanted to make climate change topical, get people talking about the issues and drive interest to their coverage of the COP17 Conference. Solution CNN launched the ECOSPHERE Project: a living digital ecosystem growing on the Internet from tweets tagged with #COP17. Every #COP17 tweet stimulated growth in one of the numerous plants representing topics like Sustainability or Carbon. CNN invited people to plant a thought with hashtag #COP17 and brought the project to the COP17 Conference.

Mimivirus Mimivirus is a viral genus containing a single identified species named Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV). It also refers to a group of phylogenetically related large viruses, designated usually "MimiN. In colloquial speech, APMV is more commonly referred to as just "mimivirus." Mimivirus has a large and complex genome compared with most other viruses. Discovery[edit] The same team that discovered the mimivirus later discovered a slightly larger virus, dubbed the mamavirus, and the Sputnik virophage that infects it.[5] Classification[edit] Mimivirus has been placed into a viral family by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses as a member of the Mimiviridae,[6] and has been placed into Group I of the Baltimore classification system.[7] Although not strictly a method of classification, Mimivirus joins a group of large viruses known as nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV).

Edgaro Miulerio 3D paveikslai Šiek tiek apie dailininką: Edgaras gimė 1968 metais Vokietijos mieste Miulhelme ant Rūro. Nuo ankstyvo amžiaus Edgaras mėgo tapybą. 16 metų jis pirmą kartą sudalyvavo gatvės menininkų konkurse, tačiau nieko nelaimėjo. Tai neprivertė Miulerį nuleisti rankas, ir jis toliau tobulino savo piešimo įgūdžius. Kai jam buvo 19 metų jis pagaliau laimėjo graffiti konkursą, nupiešęs Caravaggio paveikslą "Vakarienė prie Emauso". 25 metų jis nusprendę visiškai atsiduoti gatvės menui. Neseniai Edgaras įkūrė savo studiją, kur dėsto paskaitas visiems norintiems. Various ways to rate a college There are a bunch of college ratings out there to help students decide what college to apply to (and give something for alumni to gloat about). The tough part is that there doesn't seem to be any agreement on what makes a good college. Alex Richards and Ron Coddington describe the discrepancies. Notice how few measures are shared by two or more raters. That indicates a lack of agreement among them on what defines quality. This, on top of spotty data across universities, makes rankings, especially for schools that are close in ratings to each other, difficult to know which one to follow. But you already knew that, right? One thing is for sure though. [Thanks, Ron]
