Check out this great graphic, its really profound. Pay particular notice to African Debt in relation to bribes taken by russian officials. The rest of the site is pretty sweet too.

Linka czy drut?! Takie pytanie na pewno już usłyszeliście w sklepie komputerowym przy zakupie kabla internetowego [bardzo często tak ludzie określą medium transmisyjne stosowane do transmisji sygnałów w telekomunikacji w sieci.] czyli popularnej „skrętki” [kabel miedziany czteroparowy]. O co w tym chodzi ? Jaka linka ? Jaki drut? WFT?! Już tłumaczę… od początku.
W przeciwieństwie do kabli elektroenergetycznych, w których przekrój liczony jest mm2, grubość kabli sieciowych podawana jest AWG (ang. American Wire Gauge). W kablu typu „drut” pojedyncza żyła ma 24 AWG (około 0,2 mm2) natomiast pojedynczy przewód kabla typu „linka” ma 32 AWG (0,032 mm2) każda. Im mniejszy jest parametr AWG tym lepszy lepsza jest jakoś kabla.

Wniosek z tego płynie taki, że „linka” jest cieńsza przez co jest mniej podatna na uszkodzenia mechaniczne spowodowane np. wyginaniem ale za to ma gorsze parametry transmisyjne [nie powinno się stosować przy przewidywanych połączeniach powyżej 3 m]. Odwrotnością „linki” jest „drut” – grubszy co pozwala na połączenia do 100m.

J’ai maintenant l’occasion de faire régulièrement les photos des concerts organisés par Muziekpublique à Bruxelles. La semaine passée, le pianiste Bobo Stenson et le guitariste Rudy Linka jouaient en duo au Théâtre Molière.

Conditions de lumière (une fois de plus) délicates, il y a des moments où je regrette de ne pas avoir un boîtier avec une plus grande sensibilité. Toutes les photos sont prises à 1600 iso, avec le Sigma 18-50 2.8.

Capitão Planeta

“Vai Planeta!!!”

Até hoje lembro que ficava todas as manhãs em frente a TV na expectativa de ver o capitão Planeta de salvar o planeta Terra.

“Capitão Planeta” começa quando Gaia, o espírito da Terra, acorda de um sono de 100 anos e se depara com a destruição do planeta por uma humanidade insensivel. Temendo pelo futuro, Gaia convoca cinco jovens de cada quanto do mundo para tentar evitar uma destruição maior a Terra. Foram chamados Wheeler (Ámerica do Norte), Linka (Europa Oriental), Gi (Ásia), Kwame (África) e Ma-ti (Ámercia do Sul). Cada um recebeu um anel que, ao coloca-los no dedo, foram teletransportados para a Ilha da Esperança, local onde a Gaia mora. Lá, Gaia ensinou todos os segredos da natureza da Terra e ensinaram seus pupilos a usarem os anéis: “Terra! Fogo! Vento! Água! Coração!”

“Pela união dos seus poderes, eu sou o capitão Planeta!!!”

Aí como todos sabem, Capitão Planeta surgia e salvava o Planeta da destruição feitas pelos homens insensiveis e também, como todo desenho, pelos perigosos vilões como Zarm, Porco Greedly, Drª Blight, Looten Plunder, Duke Nukem, Verminoso Escória, Matreiro, e o oposto do Capitão Planeta, o Capitão Poluição.

Para matar as saudades, assista a abertura fantástica do Capitão Planeta! Vai Planeta!!!

Disseny d’uns personatges que apareixen en una aventura gràfica interactiva sobre la prevenció de riscos laborals encomanada per UGT de Catalunya i programada i animada per Linka.

My friend Linka, loves making shapes. She made one shape based on Me “Ksymena shape” Its very sensual, mysterious and sexy.  Its not my real shape. it’s only named after me but I think it looks very nice and a little similar to my own

She made few other shapes based on (or inspired by)  her friends. Name of the shapes line is ~~DeLyn~~. They are modifiable, so you can adjust them to your needs. She is selling them all on Xstreet here.

Cruïlla em va encarregar la imatge i animació d’aquesta escola que fa de menú d’un website que conté activitats pensades per als alumnes de primària. La programació en Flash la va implementar l’estudi Linka de Barcelona.

Captain Planet and the Planeteers. Ah, this show has got to be one of the greatest children’s animations of the 90s if not the greatest. I don’t know what other show made me so obsessed. I wanted to be one of these Planeteers! The first episode is the most important of all. The others can be watched in any order. Captain Planet was a show about saving our environment.

Fat-tumbling-moron and his psychic chicken-legs are destroying the environment with their toxic waste, as usual.

Gaia must find young people to stop these awful people. It is time for the rings!

Isn’t it great watching a cartoon that is hand drawn? Remember those? Sigh. Moving on . . . the rings hold different powers of nature at a limit. So if your power was water, you can’t flood the whole city. The rings bring together:

Kwame from Africa, with the power of EARTH!

Gi, from Asia, with the power of WATER!

Wheeler, from North America, with the power of FIRE!

Linka, from the Soviet Union, with the power of WIND!

And last but not least (however forgettable), Mati from South America, with the power of HEART!

With their powers combined, they create CAPTAIN PLANET!

That is always very exciting! Linka isnt sketching in that screen cap, she’s playing a keyboard. Isn’t that weird? I want one. I honestly don’t remember a guy named Ma-Ti. Before watching this again, I went on their official website and found out there was a power called HEART. “What the hell is HEART?” I thought. I’ve had the theme song playing for a while and you don’t really hear him say HEART unless you already know the power of HEART actually exist. In the first episode, everybody’s accent is very thick. After two episodes or so, their accents slowly fade away and you can sooo tell they sound American. Listen to Linka talk in the pilot and you know what I’m talking about.

I always wanted to be Linka. We use to have the ring WATER but I don’t remember where we got it from because I was too young. I wish we had all the rings. You can’t really do much with just WATER. Did you have any Planeteer rings? Where did you get them from?

I also really want to watch ‘Whidget the World Watcher’. That show was hilarious and it’s simular to Captain Planet. Where can I watch it?
