Can Science Save Europe?

1darkmatter1 Posted 22 Mar.  in #Europe #Macro #Science
Europe’s current financial squeeze defies easy solutions. Self-inflicted austerity has met popular restlessness for more tangible measures to revive economic growth and create jobs. Protesters vividly express widespread frustration with deepening inequality, and condemnation of privileges of a global financial elite comes uncomfortably close to implicating government.
In previous times, such a situation would have been described as pre-revolutionary. In today’s world, the consequences may seem m…

Sure, but I think sometimes a society (or in this case a closely-knitted set of societies) over time accumulates a cumbersome set of cultural norms, political beliefs and social structures. While other societies have been able to look to the future and do what they had to do, we are mired in all of our baggage. This is why America has been able to leapfrog us, and parts of Asia are in the process of doing so. (I know Asian societies are also old, but they have more or less been able to start over politically and culturally). I'm not saying we're doomed, just that we need to acknowledge this.

Yes I completely agree with you Uri. Europe definitely needs to acknowledge these problems from the ground level. However, on the bright side, Europe is far from doomed. Comparing Europe with US, in the US, there is a huge gap between the super rich/middle class and the unemployed and the US has more no. of unemployed/uneducated people than the most of Europe combined, which is brilliant. Asia & South America are catching up, but are still very far behind. How much ever people cry over austerity and national debt, getting rid of them or increasing them both benefit the rich majorly.

Must eat in Tokyo... for Science! (part 3)

Neetu Posted 26 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Japan #Neetu #Life #Science #Culture #Food #Tokyo #Eat #Sweet
This time I'm gonna tell you about a traditional Japanese dessert, or snack.
Especially, when its cold out, you can find food stands or small hole in the wall places selling and making fresh taiyaki.
It made with a batter, kind of like waffles that is formed into fish shapes and sometimes other shapes. It's made in a waffle iron type machine. It's packed, or really full of a filling.
You can choose the filling. The traditional ones are sweet red bean paste or white bean paste but you can also ge…

Neetu Posted 20 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Japan #Neetu #Science #Culture #Food #Tokyo
Another thing that's great is Monjayaki. It's kinda like Okonomiyaki but with less batter and more stuff. "What stuff?" all kinds of stuff. could be meat, seafood, cheese, vegetables, anything you choose.
Batter, water, egg, and lots of stuff to make a gooey mess that tastes awesome and you eat hot formt he pan. Great in winter especially. The cheesier, the better for your mouth.
If you want something cool go for the Matcha frapucino. I love matcha, which is a type of green tea. The Starbucks ma…

This is my list of things you should eat in Tokyo. You don't have to eat them all in the same day... but you can try... FOR SCIENCE!
My Favourite food is.... Yakiniku! It's actually Korean BBQ but has been Japanized. So it's not really the same. You order meat, grill it, dip it i a sauce, there are a few kinds, and put it in your mouth. Best BBQ ever! Don't forget the rice and kimchi.
The other Thing I like to eat... is obvious... It's awesome...it's the best in the world...it's found all over …

What does your sign say about you?

annatimone Posted 7 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Trends #Science #Friends #Sign #Personality #Women #Men #Zodiac
Some of you probably don’t follow zodiac, but there is a lot to it. Astrology is an ancient science that helped ancient man to survive. Your zodiac sign depends on the position of the Sun on the date and time of your birth. The Sun symbolizes your basic personality. The Zodiac sign it occupies describes your character’s essential qualities. The Sun, by sign and house position, describes your ego’s central traits. Your Sun sign describes your core personality and it’s the most important s…

Gemini is an air sign, that’s why Gemini are good communicators. Gemini thrives on air and freedom. Cancer is a water sign, very sensitive and aware of their emotions. Cancer love being close to water and generally love seafood.

3D copy of yourself

Atashi_Tada Posted 7 Aug.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Science #Interesting
Continuing the subject about someone's copies - there is now possibility to capture yourself in 3D format!!!Looking for really unusual present? Using the latest in 360-degree scanning and 3-D printing technologies, Twinkind, a new company based in Hamburg, Germany, will turn you, your loved ones, or your pets into a marvelously detailed little statues. There are also different sizes of the sculptures and the prize for them is more than acceptable, knowing how futuristic is the action by itself …
