A Smarter Planet Blog 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.
Wirearchy | Viral: Photo-Sharing Explosions This is a series of videos that visualizes a single piece of content being shared between hundreds of thousands of individuals on Facebook. We've tried to capture the frenetic energy surrounding three of the most shared images, all of which were photos published on George Takei's Page. Each visualization is made up of a series of branches starting from a single person. As the branch grows, re-shares split off on their own arcs, sometimes spawning a new generation of re-shares, sometimes exploding in a short-lived burst of activity. The two different colors show gender, and each successive generation becomes more and more white as time goes by. Here are the three images from George Takei featured in the videos: Marvin the Martian Ab Fab London Famous Failures The data used for these visualizations spans a three-month period from July to September and is composed of shares originating from news feed.
Un psychopathe à la tête de la CIA Traduit par Résistance 71Chalmers Johnson a appelé la CIA l'armée privée du président. La Rome impériale avait sa garde prétorienne. Elle servait et protégeait l'empereur. Les renégats de la CIA travaillent de la même façon. Johnson a dit que les présidents américains avaient "un contrôle sans partage sur la CIA, ceci constitue probablement leur seul pouvoir extraordinaire." Cela les préserve et les mets au-dessus des lois et des contrôles. La CIA a cinq missions originales. La cinquième est très vague. Ce mandat a transformé la CIA "en une armée personnelle, secrète et redevable devant personne sauf le président." La CIA est plus active que jamais a dit Johnson. "Son sac à malice est le reflet de la définition de la présidence impériale." Le 8 Mars, des sénateurs renégats ont approuvé John Brennan à la tête de la CIA, ils le firent à 63 pour et 34 contre. Il omit d'expliquer ce qui est le plus important. Il argumenta avec le ministre de la justice Eric Holder. Il a menti.
water we eat The good news is that each one of us can also make the world a little more water secure, ready to face the needs of our peak population future. How? The answer lies in our shopping baskets. The amount of meat in our diet is crucial! The average daily water consumption of a meat-eating person is 5000 litres of water per day. The average for a vegetarian is 2500 litres. The type of meat we consume is crucial! The food we waste is crucial! So, do not forget: one meat-free-day a week choose meat raised on grass do not waste food
THE SECOND COMING — A MANIFESTO By David Gelernter Stewart Brand, David Ditzel, John C. Dvorak, Freeman Dyson, George Dyson, Douglas Rushkoff, Rod Brooks, Lee Smolin, Jaron Lanier, David Farber, Danny Hillis, Vinod Kholsa, John McCarthy on "The Second Coming - A Manifesto" by David Gelernter Marc Hauser, Milford Wolpoff, V.S. Ramachandran, and Nicholas Humphrey on V.S. Ramachandran's "Mirror Neurons and imitation learning as the driving force behind "the great leap forward" in human evolution" Responses to "The Second Coming - A Manifesto" by David Gelernter Stewart Brand: The sequence is clear. David Ditzel: Gelernter is ahead of us all in peering through the fog that we call the future of technology. John C. Feeman Dyson: I suspect that he has a one-sided view of computing. George Dyson: Let us hope that Gelernter's prophecies continue to be fulfilled. Rod Brooks: David Gelernter is no doubt right on about the coming revolution, but as with all revolutions it is hard to predict the details of how it will play out. The sequence is clear.
