To be self-reliant one must master a basic set of skills, more or less making them a jack of all trades. Contrary to what you may have learned in school, a jack of all trades is far more equipped to deal with life than a specialized master of only one.

Preview’s hidden powers | Business Center | Working Mac Apple’s Preview is more than just a fast and efficient program for reading PDFs, viewing graphics, and running slide shows. The version that comes with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) has some powerful features stashed away in its menus. Now you can enhance your images, annotate and merge PDFs, print multiple images on one page, and more—all without opening a specialized (and often expensive) image editor or PDF tool. Read more... 1. One of the best things about Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) is that it allows you to share documents while making sure that everyone sees the same layout, even if the recipients don’t own the software that created the document. But Leopard’s Preview lets you add notes, highlight and strike through text, or use ovals and rectangles to call attention to specific sections of the page. To begin, open any PDF in Preview and then choose Tools: Annotate. One big downside to using Preview’s links is that they aren’t indicated in PDFs. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
How the Greek Agora Changed the World Each Monday, this column turns a page in history to explore the discoveries, events and people that continue to affect the history being made today. It was the heart of the city – where ordinary citizens bought and sold goods, politics were discussed and ideas were passed among great minds like Aristotle and Plato. Who knows where we'd be without the "agoras" of ancient Greece. Lacking the concept of democracy, perhaps, or the formula for the length of the sides of a triangle (young math students, rejoice!). Modern doctors might not have anything to mutter as an oath. What went on at the agora went beyond the simple daily transactions of the market. The heart of public life Nearly every city of ancient Greece had an agora – meaning meeting place – by about 600 B.C., when the classical period of Greek civilization began to flourish. The agora of Athens – the hub of ancient Greek civilization – was the size of several football fields and saw heavy traffic every single day of the week.
The Energy Challenge - Energy Goals a Moving Target for States - Series Yet the experience of states that have adopted similar goals suggests that passing that requirement could be a lot easier than achieving it. The record so far is decidedly mixed: some states appear to be on track to meet energy targets, but others have fallen behind on the aggressive goals they set several years ago. The state goals have contributed to rapid growth of wind turbines and stations in some areas, notably the West, but that growth has come on a minuscule base. Nationwide, the hard numbers provide a sobering counterpoint to the green-energy enthusiasm sweeping Washington. is running advertisements claiming the nation could switch entirely to renewable power within a decade. “I think we are really overselling how quick, how easy and how complete the transition can be,” said George Sterzinger, executive director of the Renewable Energy Policy Project, a Washington advocacy group. More than half the states have adopted formal green-energy goals. New York is another case study.
Master's Degree Requirements Course Work The Master of Information Management and Systems (MIMS) program requires at least 48 semester units of study. The first year of the program consists mostly of a core curriculum; the second year involves further study in core areas along with additional electives, with the expectation that the student will specialize in particular aspects of information management and systems, as well as complete a final project requirement. During the summer between the two years, students are strongly encouraged to participate in an internship program in order to use their newly acquired skills in real-world settings. Assistance in arranging internships will be provided whenever possible, but the ultimate responsibility of obtaining the internship will be that of the student. First Year Required Courses There are four required courses in the first year: The remaining units for the first and second semesters are composed of electives.

Theres No Transparency In The Carbon Offset Market - Market Movers Adam Piore today profiles Tom Arnold of TerraPass, a for-profit company selling carbon offsets to guilty gas-guzzling liberals. TerraPass is very secretive about its "revenue, profits, or even how much it has invested so far in carbon-offset projects", which means that no one using TerraPass has any clue how much of their money goes to carbon offsets and how much goes to amortize the cost of Tom Arnold's SUV. I see no reason to use a for-profit carbon-offset company when there's no shortage of non-profits who will do the same thing. But in any case the whole system of cruising around the web looking for a vaguely reputable carbon-offset company is hugely inefficient. Already there's a cacophony of competing standards, each of which seeks to certify carbon offsets as being kosher: there's the Voluntary Carbon Standard, Green-e, CCB Standards, the Gold Standard, and, I'm sure, many others too.
