Visual Literacy: An E-Learning Tutorial on Visualization for Communication, Engineering and Business a museum of automobile typography | Cartype Laws of Simplicity | By John Maeda The Greatest TV Writers Rooms Ever A sharp and clever writing staff is the key to a great comedy series, but some shows in television’s past have gone above and beyond, recruiting a murderer’s row of comedy minds to fill the writers’ room, with each member later creating an impressive body of work on their own. Either by design or by luck, some of the best comedy shows ever have featured an eclectic, unusual mix of personalities behind the scenes. This is a list of some of the most remarkable groups of writers in the history of TV comedy, not the best-written shows. Take The Dana Carvey Show, for example; it’s a cult hit but never lasted long enough to be considered a classic. Nevertheless, the combination of comedy writers on staff was the most noteworthy thing about it, with everyone from renowned stand-up Louis C.K. to quirky cinephile darling Charlie Kaufman to late night satirist Stephen Colbert typing up scripts. Your Show of Shows (NBC, 1950-1954) The Dick Van Dyke Show (CBS, 1961-1966) Shared Staff: James L.

Ubi-Camera: In the Future, Will We Take Photos with Our Fingers? This is version 1.0 of a technology that's a bit clunky now, but has the potential to be awesome at the 2.0 or 3.0 level. The Ubi-Camera is a working concept devised at Japan's Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences which allows you to take photos the way a pretentious art-house movie director frames shots: By framing them with your fingers. We say it's clunky because the current prototype requires you stick your fingers into that little box, but it's not difficult to imagine where this could go: 1.) Picture the lens being something tiny that attaches to the fingernail of your pointer finger. 2.) 3.) As a shutter-triggering alternative to step 3, it would be cool if you just made the "Ch-KSHH" noise with your mouth, and an audio sensor in the camera then snapped the photo.

El sistema operativo GNU TheHydeTube オメガ3脂肪酸は『αリノレン酸』と呼ばれるもので、エゴマ油やアマニ油などといった『健康油』と呼ばれるものに多く含まれています。 αリノレン酸は必須脂肪酸の一つでありますが、体内で生成する事の出来ない成分です。なので、食事から取り入れなくてはいけません。 これらのオメガ3脂肪酸は私たちの体の中で『細胞膜の構成成分』となります。 また、αリノレン酸は同時に血管が詰まってしまう原因の『血栓』を防いだり、血圧やコレステロール値を下げたり、アレルギーやアトピーの症状を抑制したりする働きもあるのです。 私たちの健康維持のために必要なオメガ3脂肪酸ですが、αリノレン酸は体内に入ると『DHA』と『EPA』に変化する性質を持っています。 ご存知の通り、DHAは脳の海馬にも含まれている成分なので、摂取する事で脳の活性化にも繋がります。 特に脳細胞にはこれらの成分は必須なので、成長途中のお子さんなどには毎日必ず取り入れてもらいたい成分でもあります。 その他EPAは血液凝集作用を抑制する効果が高いので、血管が詰まるのを防いでくれるのです。 このように、オメガ3脂肪酸は体内に取り入れられると『DHA・EPA』に変換され、様々な健康効果を得る事が出来るのです。 お魚から直接接種するのも良いのですが、オメガ3脂肪酸は必須脂肪酸でもあるので、良質な油から取り入れる事も大切なのです。 DHAやEPAは、赤ちゃんにとっても欠かせない成分の一つです。 脳の発達に関係する成分なので、お母さんは妊娠中から積極的にDHAとEPAを含んだ食品を摂取する事が推奨されています! DHAやEPAは食べすぎたからといって副作用が出る成分ではありませんので、赤ちゃんにも積極的に摂取してもらいたい成分の一つです。 また離乳食だけではなく、母乳やミルクを通して摂取する事が進められているので、母乳育児を実践しているママは積極的に食事にDHAやEPAを取り入れていきましょう。 最近の粉ミルクにはDHAやEPAが多く含まれているのも沢山販売されていますので、そういったものを代用すると良いですよ。 妊娠中は、胎児の脳や神経などが出来上がる大切な期間になります。 『妊娠中には葉酸が必要』と言われていますが、DHAやEPAは脳の発達を助ける効果もあるので、同時に摂取しておきたい成分でもあります。

Open source hardware 2009 – The definitive guide to open source hardware projects in 2009 Welcome to definitive guide to open source hardware projects in 2009. First up – What is open source hardware? These are projects in which the creators have decided to completely publish all the source, schematics, firmware, software, bill of materials, parts list, drawings and “board” files to recreate the hardware – they also allow any use, including commercial. Similar to open source software like Linux, but this hardware centric. Each year we do a guide to all open source hardware and this year there are over 125 unique projects/kits in 19 categories, up from about 60 in 2008, more than doubling the projects out there! – it’s incredible! This year, I am asking for your help – the Open source hardware page on Wikipedia is missing more projects that it actually has total at the moment. 3D printing – Open source hardware is now making things. A great year for OSH, have fun reading the guide! Phillip Torrone Editor at large – Make magazine. Related
