Way Beyond Weight

Miquerinos. The Great Pyramid(2), as Kéops is called, is the only of the seven wonders of ancient word that is still standing, and is considered the higher structure built by men until the century XXI. With original height of 145 meters, its total weight was originally about 6,000,000 tons, consisting of 1 million stone blocks mounted over 20 years. Coated with marble (which was worn and / or removed over time) and a block of shiny metal (gold or a mixture of gold and silver) at its…

reasons. • Inductive and capacitive parameters do not limit the transmission capacity or the maximum length of a DC overhead line or cable. The conductor cross section is fully utilized because there is no skin effect. For a long cable connection, e.g. beyond 40 km, HVDC will in most cases offer the only technical solution because of the high charging current of an AC cable. This is of particular interest for transmission across open sea or into large cities where a DC cable may provide…

new products. This book focuses on product management.  Preface • vii Who should read this book? This book is targeted most directly at existing product managers and customer segment managers (primarily in “nontraditional” roles beyond consumer packaged goods). However, it has been used effectively by people in all types of companies and industries.

degree at Columbia in 2003 and began graduate work in cybernetics. All that had been done in the mid-twentieth century on “calculating machines” had been upset by Robertson and his positronic brain-paths. The miles of relays and photocells had given way to the spongy globe of plantinumiridium about the size of a human brain. She learned to calculate the parameters necessary to fix the possible variables within the “positronic brain”; to construct “brains” on paper such that the…

8 million people die every year from problems arising from excess weight, besides the psychological and social problems.

positions of ownership and management in modern economic life may to-day be understood, in part at least, simply as a result of the greater mat erial wealth they have inherited. But there are certain other phenomena which cannot be explained in the same way. Thus, to mention only a few facts: there is a great difference discoverable in Baden, in Bavaria, in Hungary, in the type of higher educatio n which Catholic parents, as opposed to Protestant, give their children. That the…

ignorant of logical reasoning, the nature of evidence, or what counts as relevant material. Others, however, might be committed by persons bent on deception. If there is insufficient force behind the argument and the evidence, fallacies can add enough weight to carry them through. This book is intended as a practical guide for those who wish to win arguments. It also teaches how to perpetrate fallacies with mischief at heart and malice aforethought. I have described each X How to…
