by Montogeek

5-5-2013 9-52-54 AM

ShaoLan nació en Taipei pero vivió su niñez en Taiwan, es hija de una Caligrafistas, la cual le enseño lo hermoso de los símbolos y caracteres del lenguaje Chino, se dio cuenta que es un lenguaje complicado para extraños o personas de occidente, por ello se dio a la tarea de crear una guía comprensible para aprender el lenguaje fácilmente.

La guía consta de caracteres, historias simples y frases ilustradas con el dibujo que representa el símbolo del idioma incrustado en el carácter, una forma muy fácil y rápida de aprender el idioma.

En este momento tiene alrededor de 20 historias pero se espera que hayan más disponibles con el tiempo.

Cold Faith

Apropos of Eskimo, I once heard a missionary describe the extraordinary difficulty he had found in translating the Bible into Eskimo. It was useless to talk of corn or wine to a people who did not know even what they meant, so he had to use equivalents within their powers of comprehension. Thus in the Eskimo version of the Scriptures the miracle of Cana of Galilee is described as turning the water into blubber; the 8th verse of the 5th chapter of the First Epistle of St. Peter ran: ‘Your adversary the devil, as a roaring Polar bear walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.’ In the same way ‘A land flowing with milk and honey’ became ‘A land flowing with whale’s blubber,’ and throughout the New Testament the words ‘Lamb of God’ had to be translated ‘little Seal of God,’ as the nearest possible equivalent. The missionary added that his converts had the lowest opinion of Jonah for not having utilised his exceptional opportunities by killing and eating the whale.

Pick’s Theorem

by Greg Ross

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gitterpolygon.svg

Georg Alexander Pick found a useful way to determine the area of a simple polygon with integer coordinates. If i is the number of lattice points in the interior and b is the number of lattice points on the boundary, then the area is given by

pick's theorem

There are 40 lattice points in the interior of the figure above and 12 on the boundary, so its area is 40 + 12/2 – 1 = 45.

(Thanks, Pål.)

Smeared Skies Made from Hundreds of Stacked Photographs by Matt Molloy sunset landscapes clouds Canada

Living on the shore of Lake Ontario, just east of Toronto, photographer Matt Molloy has daily encounters with brilliant sunsets and cloudscapes that he’s been photographing for over three years. One day he began experimenting with time-lapse sequences by taking hundreds of images as the sun set and the clouds moved through the sky. Molloy then digitally stacked the numerous photos to reveal shifts in color and shape reminiscent of painterly brush strokes that smeared the sky. You can learn more about his “timestack” technique over at Digital Photo Magazine and prints are available here. (via bored panda)

Glass cows by Assembly

It’s not often that a making of shines brighter than the film itself, but this piece by Assembly is about as classy as making of’s get.

Cómo se capturan y transfieren cientos de miles de gigabytes cada día en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones

by alvy@microsiervos.com (Alvy)

Un equipo del CERN ha preparado esta pieza divulgativa sobre cómo se procesan los datos generados por el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones (LHC) cada día. Los datos hablan por si solo: se trata de capturar información sobre 600 millones de colisiones por segundo de partículas subatómicas que viajan al 99,9999991 por ciento de la velocidad de la luz, y de las cuales tan solo uno de cada millón son «interesantes», según definen los científicos.

Una vez se han filtrado los datos más interesantes, lo cual requiere ejecutar más de 1,5 millones de tareas cada día, se transfieren por todo el planeta a los centros colaboradores a 10 gigabits por segundo. En total se capturan y almacenan más de 25 petabytes de datos al año.
