This document describes a journey through scales of size from 1 meter to billions of light years and back down to fractions of an atom. It explores scales from the macrocosm of galaxies down to the microcosm inside an atom. The key ideas are that the laws of physics remain consistent across all scales and that there is still much to learn about the universe at both macro and micro scales.

The document provides an overview of XML (eXtensible Markup Language). It discusses the need for separating presentation from content that XML addresses. XML allows for structuring and adding semantic meaning to data. It also describes the main components of an XML document including the prolog, elements, attributes, entities, and DTD (document type definition). The DTD outlines rules for the document and enables validation. The document then explains various XML features in more detail such as content models, attribute declarations and types, internal/external DTDs, and entities. It concludes with an overview of the Together Control Center XML editor functionality.

This document describes a journey through scales of size from the microscopic to the macroscopic. It begins at the scale of 1 meter and increases in factors of 10 from 100 meters to 100 billion light years. It then returns rapidly from the largest scales back to 1 meter. The journey then continues inward in factors of 10 from 1 millimeter to 100 attometers, reaching what is currently known about matter at the smallest scales. The document questions humanity's place and understanding in the vast scales of the universe.

2. An earthquake, magnitude 8.0, struck Sichuan province of China at 2:28PM, May 12, 2008. The epicenter of the earthquake, Wenchuan, is about 90 miles from Chengdu. The earthquake released more energy than 500 atomic bombs, 30 times more than the Kobe earthquake in Japan, 1995. By May 19, there are more than 32,000 confirmed dead, more than 20,000 still missing, and more than 4.7 million houses collapsed or heavily damaged.
3. Cities close to the epicenter are flattened; whole mountains collapsed.
5. Millions of people lost their beloved ones, their homes, their belongings. Yet there is no looting, no complaints, just people helping each other ( CNN )
6. Within hours, people rushed to rescue. Blood donation lines run for 100 yards, and people waited hours to donate blood; within 24 hours, all major blood banks ran out storage space. The highway to the earthquake struck city Dujianyang (20 mile from Chengdu) was almost jammed one hour after the earthquake, not by people fleeing the aftershocks, but by volunteers, led by over 1,000 taxi drivers, came from Chengdu to rescue. Chen Guangbiao ( 陈光标 ), owner of a big construction company 1,500 miles from the disaster area, just 2 hour 30 minutes after the earthquake, started transporting 60 construction machineries and led 120 volunteers to rescue. They arrived at the disaster area 24 hours later, almost the same time as Army Engineering Corp.
7. Medical workers provided care under extreme conditions; they even delivered many new born babies on the parking lot.
8. Wen Jiabao ( 温家宝 ), 66, Chinese Prime Minister, boarded on a plane 30 m inutes after the earthquake, and arrived in disaster area in 2 hours. He has been the chief of the rescue operation since then, working almost around clock at the frontline with rescue workers.
9. 1,1000 paratroopers started boarding airplanes 2 hours after earthquake. Despite heavy rain, high wind and thick cloud, they jumped from over 20,000 foot high to remote mountain areas where they did not even know if there would be a place for them to land. The first jumped off plane was Senior Colonel Li Zhenbo ( 李振波 ) , 51.
10. With roads buried by landslide and bad weather hammering airborne operations, a group of 600 soldiers and medical teams, let by Major General Xia Guofu ( 夏国富 ), 57, Commander in Chief of Sichuan Military District, walked 21 hours straight on foot in mountain area, carrying heavy relief supplies, risking landslide and falling rocks. They became the first group to arrive at the epicenter of the earthquake.
11. Soldiers and rescue workers working around clock to rescue people still buried. Unable to transport heavy machineries to the remote areas since roads are buried by landslides, they often have to use hands to move tons of concrete.
12. People are rushing to donate money. Many rich people donated in millions, but no one can match Xu Chao ( 徐超 ), 60, on the right. He is a homeless in Nanjing, 1000 miles from the disaster area. He saw the news and went to donate 5 Yuan in the morning. He said people in the disaster area were worse off than him because their lives were threatened. He came back in the afternoon, donated another 100 Yuan ($14). He explained that all he had were pennies and dimes, and he didn’t want to waste volunteer workers’ time to count them, so he went to the bank to change everything he had into one big bill. This is from a man who doesn’t have money to buy food for himself.
13. Song X inying ( 宋馨懿 ), 3, pulled out from rubble after being buried for 2 days. She was in critical condition and lost a leg, but survived. Her parents hold each other’s hands and shoulders face to face to make an arch to shield her from the falling building. Her parents did not make it out.
14. A 5 year old boy was rescued after being buried under rubbles for 24 hours. His left hand was broken, but he smiled and saluted to his rescuers. His smile made everybody cry.
15. Zhang Jiwang ( 张吉万 ), 11, carrying his sister Zhang H an ( 张韩 ), 3 , walked 12 hours straight to flee the disaster center.
16. Yuan Wentin ( 袁文婷 ), 26, first grade teacher. When the earthquake struck, she rushed to carry her stunned students from classroom on the 3 rd floor to the ground. She managed to pull out most of her students, but the building collapsed when she was trying to pull out the last few. At the last moment of her life, she was trying to use her body to shield the students from falling concrete. Many teachers did the same thing. They are 谭千秋、张米亚、苟晓超、吴忠洪、杜正香 ......
17. This high school student was rescued from the collapsed building. She lost both legs, and her both hands are broken. The rescue workers were all in tears when they saw this. She smiled to them: “Be Brave!”
18. This baby, after being buried over 24 hours, miraculously, was rescued unscratched. He is about 3-4 months old, and his mother kneeled down, pinned her head and hands on the ground to shielded him from the falling concrete, and milked him. His mother did not make it out. A rescue worker found his mom’s cell phone in his wrapper. It had a text message left by his mother: “Dear child, if you survive, please remember, Mom loves you forever…”
