UNESCO ASPNet The UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network, or ASPNet for short, is a program established in 1953 to encourage schools worldwide to educate students on issues related to UNESCO's "overarching goal of promoting peace and international understanding". As of 2008[update], it includes nearly eight thousand educational institutions in over 170 countries. ASPnet schools conduct their own projects, often linking with schools from other countries, or may become involved in a UNESCO-coordinated activity, such as the "World Heritage in Young Hands" project. A national coordinator, typically housed at the National Commission, serves as the liaison between the schools and UNESCO.[1] References[edit] External links[edit] Official website

Wie WAAS und EGNOS das GPS-System noch besser machen Sehr stark vereinfacht handelt es sich beim WAAS-System (WAAS = Wide Area Augmentation System; Erweiterungssystem für einen großen Bereich) um ein satellitengestützes DGPS (Differenzial GPS). Das heisst, zum Empfang des Signals benötigt man keinen zusätzlichen Langwellenempfänger und es werden zur Signalübertragung keine zusätzlichen und zahlreichen Sendestationen gebraucht. Unterschiede zwischen WAAS, EGNOS und MSAS Das Prinzip ist bei allen drei Systemen das gleiche und die Systeme sind sogar miteinander kompatibel. Selten hört man als Sammelbegriff der Systeme die Bezeichnung SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation Systems, Satellitengestützte Erweiterungssysteme), obwohl damit eigentlich alle drei Systeme gemeinsam beschrieben würden. Wie die SBAS funktionieren Zweck des Systems Es dürfte nicht überraschen, dass WAAS, EGNOS und MSAS nicht dazu entwickelt wurden bzw. werden, um dem Wanderer oder Geocacher eine genauere Positionsbestimmung zu ermöglichen.

MacGyver, Survivalist, or Stockpiler: The Urban Survival Skills Everyone Should Know It's your word against his.. If he ain't talkin, your word pretty much wins. Also, don't try draggin him back in your house after he's dead.. The cops will be able to tell he was shot inside your house. As soon as you're involved in a shooting like this, call the cops, then a lawyer.. You are so bad ass. Seriously, you're advocating shooting a potential burglar with your "Mossy, Remy or Mr. We're not all in middle school, you know, and life is not like a Die Hard movie. I don't want to kill anyone. I am not running from my house. You can be a moral coward and subject yourself to the will of a criminal, however I will suffer no such victimization. @jodark It's not cowardly to leave and certainly not morally cowardly to leave if there is an intruder in your house. Unless you were a soldier or a police officer, you have probably not faced a life or death situation, and frankly, you are likely not equipped to fight back adequately.
EarthrootsFieldSchool.org | Cultivating a sense of care & connection with the natural world. How to Make Home Made Weapons Why use Reinforced Concrete for Better Building construction? Reinforced concrete is a construction material widely used across the world. Popularly known as RCC, this material has steel at its core and is surrounded by concrete. As these two materials interlock, they form an extremely and exceptionally strong material. In several places, like India, where steel structures are still not the norm, almost every building structure erected is made of reinforced concrete. Reasons for wide use of reinforced concrete: · The combined strengths of steel and concrete make reinforced concrete stronger than any other construction material. · Structures built with steel and lumber are at high risk of damage due to fire, however reinforced concrete is better in this quarter as well. · It is easy to cast RCC into a desired shape, while still maintaining the structural strength and durability. · The yield strength of RCC is apparently 100 times more than its tensile strength. Structural Design with Reinforced Concrete Challenges include:

Three language lessons you can learn from the word “schlemiel” In honor of National Poetry Month, let’s tackle some of the trickiest aspects of meaning — after all, poetry is one of the great ways to express subtle and slippery thoughts. Our focus today is translation. How can someone convey the meaning of a word that has no equivalent in another language? Among the toughest words to translate, and there are some doozies, schlemiel is a top contender. It is a Yiddish word for a chronically unlucky person. The trouble behind “schlemiel” presents us with a common translation problem – the translator will inherently run into words in one language that may not have an equivalent word in the other language. (Curious to learn some of the toughest words to convey in English, like prozvonit and hyggelig? Here are three tools that the skilled translator keeps at hand when faced with an untranslatable word. When confronted with a lacuna (a gap in a piece of writing), a translator may resort to free translation or adaptation. Dr. Mrs. Anonymous
Firearm A firearm is a portable gun, being a barreled weapon that launches one or more projectiles often defined by the action of an explosive.[1][2][3] The first primitive firearms were invented in 13th century China when the man portable fire lance (a bamboo or metal tube that could shoot ignited gunpowder) was combined with projectiles such as scrap metal, broken porcelain, or darts/arrows.[4] The technology gradually spread through the rest of East Asia, South Asia, Middle East and then into Europe. In older firearms, the propellant was typically black powder, but modern firearms use smokeless powder or other propellants. Most modern firearms (with the notable exception of smoothbore firearms) have rifled barrels to impart spin to the projectile for improved flight stability. Firearms may sometimes be referred to as small arms when they are intended primarily for use by military forces if they can be carried by a single individual. The manufacture of firearms is a large industry.
Why should you Invite BIM over Coffee for next Retail Construction Project? | Analysis | The BIM Hub Talking about Starbucks coffee is too main stream; talk about its construction standards and regional curve in it and you may invite an EPC firm’s chief building design engineer for a never ending conversation or maybe a billion dollar business. Mention any novel technology – BIM and/or Virtual Reality – Starbucks has it. In essence, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there is as much to learn from the retailer’s construction practices and technology adoption as from its brand value. Inviting BIM for coffee, that is to say, brining BIM on board for retail design construction projects helps maintain the crux of standardized designs for all locations, especially for retail chains. The major challenge that general contractors and EPC firms face in retail design construction is extreme competition; and to keep growing, they need to account for regional likes and dislikes in designs and interiors. Specialty coffee retailer invited BIM; so should you Try a coffee with BIM real soon
