La Torre de Pisa fue construida en 1173 como campanario pero comenzó a inclinarse durante su construcción. Tiene 8 plantas, 294 escalones, mide 55.8 metros de altura y pesa 14,700 toneladas. Alberga 7 campanas para la escala musical.
WHAT IS HAPPENING? AIRLINES ON RED ALERT AFTER VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN ICELAND. After a week of seismic activity rattled the uninhabited area 200 miles (320 kilometers) east of the capital of Reykjavik with thou-sands of earthquakes, Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano began erupting Saturday (Aug. 23rd) under the country's largest glacier. An Iceland volcanologist said it was not clear when, or if, the eruption would melt through the ice — which is between 100 and 400 meters (330 feet and 1,300 feet) thick — and send steam and ash into the air. On Saturday, Icelandic authorities declared a no-fly zone of 100 nautical miles by 140 nautical miles around the eruption, but did not shut the country's airspace. An eruption at the Katla volcano could be disastrous, both for Iceland and other nations. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction

The document discusses the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and subsequent challenges. It provides a timeline showing the earthquake killed 30,000, cholera outbreak in 2010 killed 8,000, and Hurricane Tomas in 2010 exacerbated problems. In 2013, disaster workers began leaving as cholera still lingered. The document calls for a concerted international effort to rebuild infrastructure, provide clean water, housing, and address Haiti's vulnerability to future natural disasters through engineering solutions.

The document compares the performance of different acceleration structures - bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) and spatial subdivision (SD) - for rendering 3D scenes. It tests scenes of increasing complexity from 3x3x3 grids up to 10x10x10 grids, with objects distributed both evenly and randomly. For all scenes, BVH and SD techniques provided faster rendering times than no acceleration, with performance generally improving as more triangles were grouped into each bounding volume. Spatial subdivision was more effective for evenly distributed scenes while BVH worked better for random scenes. The document also demonstrates texture mapping, bump mapping, reflection and refraction effects.

Trigger strategies human edge the hiring process - a unique approachNeil Thornton HBA, MA
The document outlines an 8 step hiring process developed by Trigger Strategies to help companies find and hire the best talent. The process includes listening to client needs, posting jobs, screening resumes, phone interviews, in-person interviews, candidate interaction with current employees, online profiling, and implementing a 90 day success plan for new hires. Trigger Strategies claims this process helps hire people that are the right fit for both the job and company culture over just skills. Their goal is to challenge the status quo and produce results for clients.
