Verre online :: Revue VERRE Edito de la Revue VERRE - Août 2004. Vol 10, n°4 En fait, elle est surtout réconfortante, lorsque l'on porte un regard universel sur la saga du verre depuis les fragments orangés, vieux de 4 milliards d'années, qu'Apollo 17 nous a rapportés de la Lune, jusqu'aux fibres optiques qui courent partout, sous le tunnel de la Manche et aux bordures des voies ferrées, permettant aux internautes de communiquer sans frontières. Elles conduisent la lumière dans les endroits les plus inaccessibles et leur présence, dans les endoscopes, offrent aux chirurgiens l'opportunité d'opérer le corps humain, comme à travers un trou de serrure. Le verre, donc, nous accompagne tel un ami sincère (on ne forge pas d'armes en verre) et sa vertu éducative ne date pas d'hier. Aujourd'hui, dit-on, nous vivons l'ère du verre intelligent capable de tout faire. Feuilletés, trempés, bombés, les nouveaux vitrages à couches performantes résistent aux graffitis, aux rayures volontaires, aux agressions multiples.
How to write a FaceBook Application in 10 minutes Writing F8 apps is where it’s at right now. Everybody knows it. The userbase is huge and now we have a (free) API to. I spent a day writing my Sudoku Facebook application yesterday. As far as I can tell, Facebook allows you to create applications that appear to the user in 2 different areas. 1 - The profile. 2 - The ‘Canvas page’. Ok, thats it for the overview. 1. <script type=text/javascript> var iRandom; function Restart() { iRandom = Math.floor(Math.random()*10)+1; alert('OK, I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10'); } function Guess() { var yourGuess = document.getElementById('myGuess').value; if (yourGuess>iRandom) alert('Too High.'); if (yourGuess<iRandom) alert('Too Low.'); if (yourGuess==iRandom) { alert('Well done! It’s not going to win any awards, but it gets the job done. Ok, now log into Facebook. 2. 3. Application Name: Any name you want. Anyway, now we can go back toDefault FMBL: This is the text that will go on the user’s profile. 5. 6.
UAE News and information - UAEinteract Départ et arrivée du premier vol solaire mondial aux EAU posted on 11/04/2014 Deux aventuriers suisses prévoient d’entamer et de terminer leur tour du monde historique en avion solaire aux Émirats Arabes Unis (E.A.U.). L’avion sans carburant, Solar Impulse 2, qui a été dévoilé par le duo en Suisse mercredi dernier, sera piloté par une seule personne pendant cinq jours et nuits consécutifs. L’avion solaire a pour objectif de sensibiliser le public à la nécessité d’adopter les énergies renouvelables pour résoudre de nombreux problèmes à travers le monde, notamment le changement climatique . « Solar Impulse n’a pas été construit pour transporter des passagers, mais pour porter des messages. Aldrin créé le « buzz » à Dubaï Buzz Aldrin, le deuxième homme à marcher sur la Lune, a effectué une visite historique au siège de l’EIAST (Institut des Émirats pour les sciences et technologies avancées) à Dubaï. posted on 08/04/2014 S.A.

Welcome! - Free Software Directory - Free Software Foundation Completed: Zabeel Park (Dubai) - Page 6 Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum opens Zabeel Park Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, UAE Minister of Finance and Industry, and Chairman of Dubai Municipality, opened on Tuesday Zabeel Park, the first technology-based recreational theme park in the Gulf. The park, located on three separate plots to the north east of the Dubai World Trade Centre and bounded by Trade Centre Road, Al Quta'eyat Road and Za'abeel Road, is aimed at boosting domestic and international tourism in Dubai. The opening ceremony was attended by Qassim Sultan, Director General of Dubai Municipality, senior government officials from local departments and the municipality. The park is divided into three plots, all of which are interlinked by pedestrian bridges. Sultan said the Dh200 million park comprises a number of provisions including food courts, a cricket pitch, amphitheatre, exhibition centres and special facilities for boating. A mini-cricket pitch also forms part of Zabeel Park.
Eve and the Identity of Women: 7. Eve & Lilith In an effort to explain inconsistencies in the Old Testament, there developed in Jewish literature a complex interpretive system called the midrash which attempts to reconcile biblical contradictions and bring new meaning to the scriptural text. Employing both a philological method and often an ingenious imagination, midrashic writings, which reached their height in the 2nd century CE, influenced later Christian interpretations of the Bible. Inconsistencies in the story of Genesis, especially the two separate accounts of creation, received particular attention. Later, beginning in the 13th century CE, such questions were also taken up in Jewish mystical literature known as the Kabbalah. According to midrashic literature, Adam's first wife was not Eve but a woman named Lilith, who was created in the first Genesis account. Only when Lilith rebelled and abandoned Adam did God create Eve, in the second account, as a replacement. Lilith also personified licentiousness and lust. Lilith?

Carte des régions pétrolifères au Moyen-Orient Géologie pétrolière de cette région[modifier | modifier le code] Infrastructure pétrolière et gazière au Moyen-Orient. Géologiquement, le golfe Persique est une énorme plate-forme (socle cristallin recouvert de sédiments). Vers le sud-ouest, l'épaisseur de sédiments diminue progressivement jusqu'au point où le socle granitique affleure. Les deux principaux faciès de roches sources sont les couches Silurienne et Jurassique. Les déformations anticlinales ont affecté aussi bien les formations Khuff et Arab, créant des pièges dans les deux, ce qui explique qu'en plusieurs endroits, on trouve des gisements de gaz juste en dessous de ceux de pétrole. Les 13 gisements numérotés sont :

Amit’s Game Programming Information What’s on this page? I’m interested in producing complexity out of simple parts. This page contains bookmarks that I collected while working on games; I did not write most of the content linked from here. As a result the set of links here reflects the types of things I needed to know: only a few specific topics (not everything related to game programming), general ideas instead of platform-specific information (graphics, sound, compilers), and ideas and designs instead of source code (I find it easier to go from an idea to code than from code to an idea). Determining how to move around on a map is an interesting problem. These pages are about specific techniques for pathfinding and object movement: My current favorite algorithm is A*, because it can handle varying terrain costs well, and it seems to be faster than most graph searching algorithms. Code and Demos Many times I play a game and wish that the computer opponents were written better. What techniques are useful in game AI? Notices
