In Chinese mythology, the dragon is a benign creature, very different from the fierce predator of Western fables. Which type of dragon we [India] find across our borders will depend as much on us as on China. If we measure up to the economic and security challenge posed by China's rapid rise, we will find that the dragon has Chinese characteristics. China is a challenge, and not a threat, to India |

A friend a mine who had been a Mormon missionary came across this "guide," circa 1970, on tattered photocopy. In fact, the pages were stuck together. Anyway, we were so amused by it (esp. "Suggestion 19"), I thought it deserved a wider audience. ] STEPS IN OVERCOMING MASTURBATION ] ] ] Mark E. Petersen ] ] Council of the 12 Apostles Mormon Guide to Overcoming Masturbation |

Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap's objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe. Newsmap does not pretend to replace the googlenews aggregator. Its objective is to simply demonstrate visually the relationships between data and the unseen patterns in news media. It is not thought to display an unbiased view of the news; on the contrary, it is thought to ironically accentuate the bias of it. newsmap |
