War of Currents In the War of Currents era (sometimes, War of the Currents or Battle of Currents) in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC). Thomas Edison, American inventor and businessman, known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park", pushed for the development of a DC power network. George Westinghouse, American entrepreneur and engineer, financially backed the development of a practical AC power network. Edison's direct-current system generated and distributed electric power at the same voltage as used by the customer's lamps and motors. This meant that the current in transmission was relatively large, and so heavy conductors were required and transmission distances were limited, to about a mile (kilometre); otherwise transmission losses would make the system uneconomical. At the time, no method was practical for changing voltages of DC power. DC[edit] AC[edit]
Vers un design libre Christophe André est designer militant. Au cours de ses études en école d’ingénieur, on lui demande un jour de concevoir un objet ayant une durée de vie limitée. Cette confrontation à l’obsolescence programmée, au cœur du système de production, axera par la suite sa recherche artistique. Il quitte le monde des ingénieurs pour celui des Beaux-Arts, où il entame une réflexion sur l’autoproduction et ce nouveau mode de diffusion des objets : le “design libre”. Une pratique et une pensée à contre-courant. Je me suis interrogé sur la conception des objets telle qu’elle prévaut dans notre société consumériste, et sur ce que j’aimerais qu’elle soit dans l’idéal. J’ai appris à forger. Pour lever cette abstraction, j’ai décidé de fabriquer les objets dont j’ai besoin plutôt que de les acheter. Production autonome, production hétéronome : un équilibre à atteindre Il n’y a pas d’opposition entre les modes de production hétéronome et autonome mais une complémentarité.

The Story of Civilization The Story of Civilization, by husband and wife Will and Ariel Durant, is an eleven-volume set of books covering Western history for the general reader. The volumes sold well for many years, and sets of them were frequently offered by book clubs. The series was written over a span of more than four decades. It totals four million words across nearly 10,000 pages, but is incomplete. In the first volume (Our Oriental Heritage, which covers the history of the East through 1933), Will Durant stated that he wanted to include the history of the West through the early 20th century. Series outline[edit] I. This volume covers Near Eastern history until the fall of the Persian Empire in the 330s BC, and the history of India, China, and Japan up to the 1930s. II. This volume covers Ancient Greece and the Hellenistic Near East down to the Roman conquest. Epilogue: Our Greek Heritage III. The volume covers the history of Rome and of Christianity until the time of Constantine the Great. IV.
TUTO] Installation d’une solution de collaboration: Etherpad Lite J’ai eu besoin récemment pour les associations pour lesquelles je suis un peu sysadmin, de mettre en place une solution de collaboration texte. Bien sur il existe les Google Docs et autres mais je voulais un outil simple et hebergé par mes serveurs. J’ai un peu cherché et je suis tombé sur Etherpad ! EtherPad est un éditeur de texte collaboratif en temps réel. Il permet par défaut à un maximum de seize personnes de partager un texte en cours d’élaboration. Les contributions de chacun apparaissent immédiatement sur l’écran de tous les participants et sont signalées par des couleurs différentes. Le système ne requiert aucune installation, ni aucune inscription, il suffit d’avoir une connexion internet et un navigateur web. Etherpad était un éditeur (de texte) en ligne permettant de travailler à plusieurs sur un document. Plateforme Materielle : Comme d’habitude, j’ai monté mon prototype sur ma plateforme de virtualisation: Dedibox Pro HP Plateforme logicielle hyperviseur: Installation:
Search Kashmir Visual Thinking Evolution A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Especially in British English, the terms spidergram and spidergraph are more common,[1] but they can cause confusion with the term spider diagram used in mathematics and logic. Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing. The elements of a given mind map are arranged intuitively according to the importance of the concepts, and are classified into groupings, branches, or areas, with the goal of representing semantic or other connections between portions of information. Mind maps may also aid recall of existing memories. By presenting ideas in a radial, graphical, non-linear manner, mind maps encourage a brainstorming approach to planning and organizational tasks.
