(EsPCEx -2018) Learn to code, its more important than English as a second language AppleCEO Tim Cooksays coding is the best foreign language that a student in any country can learn. The tech executive made the remarks to French outlet Konbini while in the country for a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The tech leader gave some brief thoughts on education: If I were a French student and I were 10 years old, I think it would be more important for me to learn coding than English. Im not telling people not to learn English in some form but I think you understand what I am saying is that this is a language that you can use to express yourself to 7 billion people in the world. I think that coding should be required in every public school in the world. Of course, its in Cooks best interest to have the world learning how to code. He runs a tech company that depends on access to a constantly growing pipeline of talent. But it could be in your interest too: studying coding could increase your chances of pulling in a big salary. A computer-science education, at least in countries like the US, is one of the most viable and lucrative career paths open to young people today. But, Cook says, the benefits go beyond that. Its the language that everyone needs, and not just for the computer scientists. Its for all of us. He added that programming encourages students of all disciplines to be inventive and experimental: Creativity is the goal. Coding is just to allow that. Creativity is in the front seat; technology is in the backseat. With the combination of both of these you can do such powerful things now.

(EsPCEx - 2018) Titulo omitido propositadamente German explosives experts defused a massive Second World War bomb in the financialcapital of Frankfurt on Sunday after tens of thousands of people evacuated their homes. About 60,000 people were ordered to leave in what was Germanys biggest evacuation since the war, with more than 1,000 emergency service workers helping to clear the area around the bomb, which was discovered on a budding site last week. Police set up cordons around the evacuation area, which covered a radais of just under a mile (1.5km), as residents dragged suitcases with them and many families left by bicycle. The fire service said the evacuation of two hospitals, including premature babies and patients in intensive care, had been completed and they were helping about 500 elderly people to leave residences and care homes. More than 2,000 tonnes of live bombs and munitions are found each year in Germany, even uncial-buildings. In July, a kindergarten was evacuated after teachers discovered an unexploded Second World: War bomb on a shelf among some toys. British and American warplanes pummelled Germany with 1.5 million tonnes of bombs that killed 600,000 people. Officials estimate that 15% of the bombs failed to explode. Frankfurt police said they rang every doorbell and used helicopters with heat-sensing cameras to make sure nobody was left behind before they began defusing the bomb on Sunday.

(EsPCEx - 2018) The photography exercise book by Bert Krages Training your eye to shoot like a pro A while ago I was asked if Id like to have a look at Bert )(rages book. My initial thought was that it would pretty much be a list of try this exercises. Well in a way it is, in that you really need to go out and try the exercises, not just read about them. In much the same way that my piano playing wont Improve by just buying more books about playing the piano... Try the technical exercises - a desk lamp and an egg really can teach you an enormous amount about the realties of lighting, shadows and reflected light. Ive been a pro photographer since 2004 and taking the time to do some of the exercises has been of real benefit. A well-written book that is packed with useful images to illustrate the matters at hand. Its nice to see the author didnt fall into the trap of only including perfect photos - you will look at some and think I could do better than that - good! Its a book for people who want to take more photos and increase their satisfaction from doing so. Definitely one to try if you feel youre perhaps clinging to some of the technical aspects of photography as a bit of a safety blanket, to avoid the fluffy artsy stuff. Book Author Info. Bert Krages is a photographer and attorney who is the author of two previous photography books, Legal Handbook for Photographers and Heavenly Bodies: The Photographers Guide to Astrophotography. What kind of text is this?

(EsPCEx- 2017) How diversity makes us smarter Decades of research by organizational scientists, psychologists, sociologists, economists and demographers show that socially diverse groups (that is, those with a diversity of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation) are more innovative than homogeneous groups. It means being around people who are different from us makes us more creative, more diligent and more hardworking. It seems obvious that a group of people with diverse individual expertise would be better than a homogeneous group at solving complex, non-routine problems. It is less obvious that social diversity should work in the same way yet the science shows that it does. This is not only because people with different backgrounds bring new information. Simply interacting with individuals who are different forces group members to prepare better, to anticipate alternative viewpoints and to expect that reaching consensus will take effort. Diversity of expertise confers benefits that are obvious you would not think of building a new car without engineers, designers and quality-control experts but what about social diversity? The same logic applies to social diversity. People who are different from one another in race, gender and other dimensions bring unique information and experiences to bear on the task at hand. A male and a female engineer might have perspectives as different from one another as an engineer and a physicist and that is a good thing. The fact is that if you want to build teams or organizations capable of innovating, you need diversity. Diversity enhances creativity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to better decision making and problem solving. Diversity can improve the bottom line of companies and lead to discoveries and breakthrough innovations. Even simply being exposed to diversity can change the way you think. Adapted from http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-diversity-makes-us-smarter/ Which question below has its answer in paragraph 1?
