Bundesaußenminister Guido Westerwelle hat die Präsentation eines konkreten Zeitplans für den Abzug der Bundeswehr aus Afghanistan abgelehnt. Es sei unklug zu sagen, wo und in welchem Monat welche Truppenteile reduziert würden, sagte der FDP-Politiker zu Beginn eines Afghanistan-Besuchs in Kabul. Ein solch

Building an Electromagnet
Student teams investigate the properties of electromagnets. They create their own small electromagnet and experiment with ways to change its strength to pick up more paper clips. Students learn about ways that engineers use electromagnets in everyday applications.
Orion: The Journey Begins
Even as the space shuttle program comes to a close, NASA is already building its next human spacecraft, the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), around the country. Orion is being designed and tested to go further than we've ever gone and do things the shuttle could never do, namely explore deep space. In "Orion: The Journey Begins" take a look at the progress and development of NASA's newest vehicle, which will be the most advanced human spacecraft ever built.
5.4 Intellectual property rights and value Another important theme raised in the play is intellectual property rights (IPR). Ned's fortunes seem to rely on control of the IPR issues surrounding his invention. He challenges the rights of others to share in the IP because, as he sees it, they have not contributed anything. The assumption is that those that have the idea have IPR, but the IPR has value and, therefore, any proceeds accrued should be due to the person who has the idea. A problem arises here because of the phrase ‘in
5.3 Ethics and ethos: ‘does mum know?’ In Act 1 we are presented with a fairly naïve Ned, who initially believes himself to be in control. We discover he is very proud of his intellectual achievements and less concerned with money. He explains his inventions and, when he does so, he finds analogies that highlight the aesthetics of what he is designing. At a crucial point in the conversation, his brother Dan asks: ‘does mum know?’ This is a really significant point in the play because it draws in another relationship
4.7 The story so far This section looked at the play Last Call. The play is very rich in ethical issues, and one of the most interesting points that are made is that, whilst there are many ‘big’ ethical questions worthy of discussion and investigation, it seems to be in the everyday, routine conversations and dealings of people that ethical questions get to be asked and answered, even if this is not clearly recognised. A major ethical issue tackled in the play is loyalty: giving preference i

3.4 Negotiation and adaptation I suggested that one way out of our contradictions is to begin to negotiate. This implies that negotiation and what you do during negotiation is a part of the business of ethics. Ethical texts normally focus on contradictions, but, as I also mentioned above, actually people do agree a lot of the time, so life is not all contradictions. Contradictions, however, do pose a problem, and I used the play Antigone to illustrate that conflict can arise. In the case of Antigone, it
2.5 The story so far I have now established an understanding of ‘ethics’ as something related with ‘good’ and ‘bad’. There are other derivative words like ‘optimal’ that might also be used, and there are parochial words which are related to particular communities. When we talk about ethics, we are liable to confront cultural differences that are reflected in differences in vocabulary. But there are other kinds of differences too. Things have different properties; for example, &

Erythemal Index 2000: Full Globe Loop
The Erythemal Index is a measure of ultraviolet radiation (UV) at ground level on the Earth. UV exists to the left of the visible spectrum and is divided into three components (UV-A, UV-B and UV-C). UV-B (290-320 wavelengths) is the most dangerous form of UV radiation that can reach ground level. Atmospheric ozone shields life at the surface from most of the harmful components of solar radiation. Chemical processes in the atmosphere can effect the level of protection provided by the ozone in the
