Hurricane Frances Rain Towers
NASAs TRMM spacecraft allows us to look under Hurricane Frances clouds to see the rain structure. Spikes in the rain structure known as "Hot Towers" indicate storm intensity. The "hot towers" which refers to the tall cumulonimbus, has been seen as one of the mechanisms by which the intensity of a tropical cyclone is maintained. Because of the size (1-5 km) and short duration (30 minute to 2 hours) of these hot towers, studies of these events have been limited to descriptive studies from aircraft

Depression or Recession? Parallels with 1929
John Godfrey Morris can tell you a little about The Depression. He lived through it. An American photojournalist, Morris covered the landings in Normandy on D-Day for Time Life and followed the allied troops into Paris. He returned to the city in 1983 and is still there today, having been made a member of the French Legion of Honour. Now, at the sprightly age of 94, John shares his recollections of the Great Depression with INSEAD Knowledge.

3.3 Emotions and judgements As I suggested above, I am adopting Martha Nussbaum's view of emotions put forward in her dialogue ‘Emotions as judgements of value’ (Nussbaum, 1998). In the introduction she writes: ‘When you put a position in the mouth of a real person, especially the person you love you have to make it real’. She is suggesting that, if you do not write dialogue, then something different and abstract emerges. Her dialogue illustrates this since it is in the form of a lecture by Anna (a thi
3.2 Relationships and ethics Read the script of the audio play Call Waiting attached below. Jot down some answers to the following questions: What is valued in the play? What action is 3.1 Introduction In this section I would like to look at a complete play script to examine how ethics and ethical issues are dealt with. I've chosen this particular play because Katie Hims, the author, is particularly good at writing natural sounding dialogue, and this ‘naturalness’ is something that is sometimes missing in some scenarios specifically created to illustrate ethical questions within technological contexts.
