The European Language Gazette - Winter 2011/Spring 2012 European Resource Centre on Education for Intercultural Understanding, Human Rights and Democratic Citizenship The European Wergeland Centre (EWC) is a European resource centre on education for intercultural understanding, human rights and democratic citizenship. It is the result of an innovative cooperation between Norway and the Council of Europe. The Centre is open to all the 47 member states of the Council of Euorpe, and the main target groups are teachers, teacher trainers, decision makers and multipliers within education for intercultural understanding, human rights and democratic citizenship. Latest Developments: Online Resources and a Glossary Project The EWC has launched its new website! New information architecture and layout of the EWC website ( is now in place to easier navigate the site to find and make use of our online resources and to access news, publications and information on EWC activities and other events.

Wind Map An invisible, ancient source of energy surrounds us—energy that powered the first explorations of the world, and that may be a key to the future. This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind.
tendance armement europe La France et l'Allemagne ont pris l'initiative jeudi de relancer la consolidation de l'industrie européenne de la défense en décidant d'explorer très vite leurs possibilités de coopération. Conformément aux intentions déclarées du président François Hollande, la France, déjà liée par des accords bilatéraux avec la Grande-Bretagne, "se place ainsi au coeur d'un effort multinational", a estimé Guy Anderson, analyste du groupe de consultants IHS Jane's. Paris et Berlin ont signé jeudi une déclaration d'intention qui crée des groupes de travail chargés d'étudier les besoins dans les domaines des satellites, des blindés, des avions, des hélicoptères et des drones. Ces groupes devront présenter leurs premières conclusions avant l'été et leur rapport final en décembre pour une feuille de route jusqu'en 2030. Le document affirme que la "coopération franco-allemande est déterminante pour le développement de l'industrie européenne de l'armement". M.
Public Data Visualizations for Everyone In a recent post about the shutdown of government transparency sites such as data.gov, I wrote about the need for compelling ways of telling the stories buried within open data. Among the citizenry, talk of large datasets tends to inspire glazed-over eyes rather than civic engagement. Google's recent project the Public Data Explorer is an easy and invaluable tool for telling the stories buried in public data, allowing students, journalists and citizens to create their own visualizations without requiring much technical expertise. Launched in February, the Google Public Data Explorer lets users to create visualizations from a large number of sources, including the World Bank, the U.S. But you don't need to be a geek to get started with the tool. Some sample visualizations made with the tool: U.S. Overall U.S.
triangle vocalique Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le triangle vocalique est une représentation graphique de l'appareil vocal humain. Il permet de classer les voyelles selon deux axes: horizontalement la profondeur du point d'articulation (position de la langue dans la bouche (antérieure - centrale - postérieure)) et verticalement le degré d'aperture. La première représentation du triangle vocalique est due au médecin allemand Christoph Friedrich Hellwag (1754-1835) dans son De formatione loquelae (1781). Portail de la linguistique

Talmud Name of two works which have been preserved to posterity as the product of the Palestinian and Babylonian schools during the amoraic period, which extended from the third to the fifth century One of these compilations is entitled "Talmud Yerushalmi" (Jerusalem Talmud) and the other "Talmud Babli" (Babylonian Talmud). Used alone, the word "Talmud" generally denotes "Talmud Babli," but it frequently serves as a generic designation for an entire body of literature, since the Talmud marks the culmination of the writings of Jewish tradition, of which it is, from a historical point of view, the most important production. The Name. "Talmud" is an old scholastic term of the Tannaim, and is a noun formed from the verb "limmed" = "to teach." In the second place, the word "talmud"—generally in the phrase "talmud lomar"—is frequently used in tannaitic terminology in order to denote instruction by means of the text of the Bible and of the exegetic deductions therefrom. Relation to Midrash. The Gemara.
survol géolocalisé 'Your own personal helicopter': New version of Maps will let you dive round exact 3D replicas of citiesHi-tech 'Google Planes' amass enough data to recreate buildings, bridges... even treesRe-vamp comes just as Apple 'plans to ditch Google Maps on the iPhone and iPad' By Eddie Wrenn Published: 20:07 GMT, 6 June 2012 | Updated: 16:18 GMT, 7 June 2012 Google has announced a complete overhaul to the imagery on Google Maps. The search giant has sent a convoy of planes over major cities in the world, each plane capturing advanced 3D information and detailed photographs. The result will be a complete 3D experience of major cities across the world, allowing users to swoop and fly through replicas which are exact - with even trees getting the 3D treatment. It is the next step of Google's controversial plan to create a photo-based map of the world - and it will begin rolling out before the end of the year. Scroll down for video YouTube: Google
substitution permutation network A sketch of a Substitution-Permutation Network with 3 rounds, encrypting a plaintext block of 16 bits into a ciphertext block of 16 bits. The S-boxes are the Si’s, the P-boxes are the same P, and the round keys are the Ki’s. Decryption is done by simply reversing the process (using the inverses of the S-boxes and P-boxes and applying the round keys in reversed order). An S-box substitutes a small block of bits (the input of the S-box) by another block of bits (the output of the S-box). This substitution should be one-to-one, to ensure invertibility (hence decryption). In particular, the length of the output should be the same as the length of the input (the picture on the right has S-boxes with 4 input and 4 output bits), which is different from S-boxes in general that could also change the length, as in DES (Data Encryption Standard), for example.
