![]() “This was really, I think, our first visible step in thinking about how do we use technology to make the sustainable choice the easiest choice,” she said. The site has evolved to its current iteration that provides tips to people interested in reducing food, water, and energy waste and prolonging the life of consumer products. In 2018, Google teamed up with the California Academy of Sciences and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to create an interactive online tool called Your Plan, Your Planet. And its Nest smart thermostats can affect daily household energy-use decisions. These companies’ products and services are already widespread in developed nations, but Google holds a unique spot in the sustainability push because of its involvement in people’s everyday decisions about transportation through Google Maps and Google Flights. Apple’s goal is to be carbon-neutral across its supply chain and products by 2030, adding to the carbon neutrality it already claims for its global operations. Amazon, a big player in the energy-hungry world of data centers, aims for net zero by 2040. Microsoft is also a leader, aiming to be carbon-negative by that year. With its 2030 net-zero goal, Google has one of the most aggressive sustainability plans among Big Tech companies. She heads sustainability across the company’s global operations, products and supply chain, coordinating those efforts with the company’s data center, real estate, and product teams. ![]() These efforts are overseen by chief sustainability officer Kate Brandt, who headed the Obama administration’s sustainability efforts in 20 before taking a job as sustainability lead with Google. Google’s sustainability efforts span its offerings, ranging from machine learning to help cool its data centers to smart thermostats that conserve home energy. While it isn’t as impactful as electrifying the transportation sector, the initiative illustrates Google’s three-pillar approach to climate change: decarbonizing its operations and supply chain, using its technology and data to enable cities and businesses to calculate their carbon footprints, and helping consumers make sustainable choices. That’s the equivalent of getting 100,000 fuel-burning cars off the road. The app feature has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 500,000 metric tons, the company said last week. The efforts have the added benefits of boosting the company’s standing with investors who prioritize environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards. It also makes me appreciate how much music she has on her I-pod to listen to while she drives.Eco-routing, which displays a small leaf next to the Google Maps directions with the lowest carbon footprint, is just one of many initiatives Google has launched to help others achieve “deep decarbonization” as it works toward its own net-zero emissions target in 2030. As a Realtor Google maps can be a great tool in the tool box for setting showings creating neighborhood mapping and community research, but now knowing how it comes about just makes it that much cooler. ![]() I am happy I bumped into the super energetic lady and dove into checking this out.

Her job for Google Maps while here in Denver is simply this. It finally tipped my curiosity so far when I saw her in front of my house in Stapleton almost a week later.Īfter she pictured me in my alley in my golf cart, I had to pull her over and ask. Then saw it again in Park Hill almost 2 weeks later. But it became facsinating to me when I saw this goofy little hybrid car meandering through my old neighborhood at 12th and Pearl. ![]()

Text-based web browsers are used mostly on computers with more or less large displays, so there are less of dimensional restrictions and more temptations: Lynx - to stay restrained, ELinks - to extend it. It is like this dilemma for smaller screen mobile devices browsers: to try and imitate full sized display computers or to transform web document and make it corresponding to the characteristics of the environment. Web documents become more and more complicated in realization and (while having all the inevitable restrictions of text mode web browsing) to follow a different way of handling it is quite competitive to trying to be like mainstream, graphic full featured web browsers of desktop computers. Its concept of text mode web surfing even if being simplifying, bringing different approach to information presentation and handling rather than trying to be resembling to graphical web browsers environment - works quite well. Although Lynx still keeps positions pretty strongly. Technical part of networking (like SSL support) and various text encodings support were pretty strong in Links browser already, but ELinks enhanced some features and made others to be more worked out.ĮLinks moved forward the concept of text mode web browser, making ELinks the most advanced example of it. And that is where ELinks tries to come: colors in enabled consoles, some CSS positioning and even beginning of JavaScript / ECMAScript support. Many of them were realized in Links web browser, but then next shift in information visual presentation in web documents - from more of HTML to more of CSS - made new roads open even still keeping it to be in text mode. But with the time HTML and hardware moved forward, spread of scripting languages took place, the whole world of presenting, finding and consuming information advanced. ![]() Its authors conceived and realized a quite elaborate concept of web surfing in text mode with specific abstractions and conventions, which aided to overcome many restrictions and shortages of text-based surfing and created an experience, a world so definitely different from rapidly expanding graphical web. Lynx was and is a very mature software in its kind. The first course resulted into a Links version capable of displaying graphic content of web pages - Links2. There was a crossroad at the point when Links browser achieved certain level of completeness, surpassing in some areas then the most advanced text mode web browser, Lynx: to move forward into displaying graphics and further beyond pure text or to enhance text-based web surfing experience beyond boundaries reached first by Lynx and then Links browsers - but still keeping it in text mode. The success of the effort made it to be understood as "Extended" or "Enhanced". Aiming first to try and realize several features more or less weak / absent in Links. It started as a fork based on the code of Links browser. ELinks is an effort to create an advanced text-based web browser. ![]() ![]() ![]() Blood, Drug Reference, Language, Sexual Themes.

One should not, however, select a base font which has no style-linked variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. ![]() Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows applications) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe PageMaker software, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator, Photoshop or InDesign software. On the Mac OS operating system, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. To access the bold style, use the bold style button. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font name in the menu: The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The Adobe Bengali fonts are a welcome addition to the canon of digital Bengali fonts as an alternative to Linotype Bengali and its clones, which have dominated much of the publication industry for the past several decades. The fonts include both proportional and tabular numerals in Bengali and European styles. The designer has provided careful placement of all vowel signs and modifiers. The length of the ikars-િ and ી-varies automatically according to adjacent letter or conjunct width. A full set of Bengali conjuncts is included in the fonts to provide the most natural representation of Bengali text. The Adobe Bengali fonts comply with the Unicode standard for character encoding and leverage OpenType® layout to produce correct script shaping and accurate mark placement. Careful attention to shaping and details allow these typefaces to also serve well as display types at larger sizes. The letter construction is based on traditional Bengali calligraphy and features a contrast distribution somewhat lower than the norm so as to maintain strong, legible forms at small sizes. The primary intended usage - for printed outputs, particularly continuous text settings - guided the design direction. This type family was designed to harmonize with Adobe’s other Brahmic fonts, both in terms of apparent size and style, to ensure that this suite of typefaces families can be typeset together as a system. The Adobe Bengali typeface was designed by Neelakash Kshetrimayum, with Bengali script expert Fiona Ross consulting on the design. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since the mid-20th century, active research has taken place to look for signs of extraterrestrial life, encompassing searches for current and historic extraterrestrial life, and a narrower search for extraterrestrial intelligent life. The writings of these thinkers show that interest in extraterrestrial life existed throughout history, but it is only recently that humans have had any means of investigating it. Descartes wrote that there was no means to prove that the stars were not inhabited by "intelligent creatures," but their existence was a matter of speculation. He theorized that all extraterrestrial bodies could be inhabited by men, plants, and animals, including the Sun. Nicholas of Cusa wrote in 1440 that the Earth was "a brilliant star" like other celestial objects visible in space, which would appear similar to the Sun from an exterior perspective due to a layer of "fiery brightness" in the outer layer of the atmosphere. William Vorilong, in the 15th century, acknowledged the possibility that Christ could have visited extraterrestrial worlds to redeem their inhabitants. Pre-modern writers typically assumed that extraterrestrial "worlds" would be inhabited by living beings. In his first century poem De rerum natura (Book 2:1048-1076), the Epicurean philosopher Lucretius predicted that we would find innumerable exoplanets with life-forms similar to, and different from, the ones on Earth, and even other races of man. Multiple early Christian writers discussed the idea of a "plurality of worlds" as proposed by earlier thinkers such as Democritus Augustine references Epicurus's idea of innumerable worlds "throughout the boundless immensity of space" (originally expressed in his Letter to Herodotus) in The City of God. Speculation about the possibility of inhabited "worlds" outside the planet Earth dates back to antiquity. The science of extraterrestrial life in all its forms is known as astrobiology, the multidisciplinary field that investigates the deterministic conditions and contingent events with which life arises, distributes, and evolves in the universe. The Drake equation speculates about the existence of sapient life elsewhere in the universe. Such life might range from simple forms like prokaryotes to intelligent beings, possibly bringing forth civilizations that might be far more advanced than humankind. No extraterrestrial life has yet been conclusively detected, although efforts are underway.
