By Rich KarlgaardSource: WikipediaAt the recent Forbes Global CEO Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, my colleague Tim Ferguson, editor of Forbes Asia, led a panel on leadership. What struck me–and not for the first time–is the variety of leadership styles that work. And work really well. There is no single leadership secret; there are many. They are hiding in plain sight, and we can learn from them.VisionaryOne of the panelists was Helmut Panke, former chairman of German automaker BMW. As auto executives go, Panke was a late bloomer, not even entering the auto business until his mid-30s. He was a nuclear scientist and university lecturer. He came to BMW as head of planning and control in 1982. As head of strategy during the 1990s Panke retooled BMW’s brand from yuppie toy to performance luxury car the equal of rival Mercedes-Benz. Panke rose to become chairman of BMW’s management board in 2002 and there fulfilled his goal of BMW’s becoming the biggest seller of luxury automobiles,

Nearly half of mothers have abandoned reliance on breastfeeding only after three months.Federal and state health ministers yesterday endorsed the strategy which calls for more community acceptance of breastfeeding in public, more support and training for mothers before and after delivery and increased access to parental leave.A breastfeeding expert, Jennifer James, said government leadership was vital to making breastfeeding socially and culturally acceptable in Australia.”But considering over a quarter of Australians think that breastfeeding in public is unacceptable, we know there is a long way to go,” Dr James, a course co-ordinator in the Department of Nursing and Midwifery at RMIT

As more and more advancements have been made on gaming devices, we seem to encounter more issues. A good example of this would be the PS3. It is said that the PS3 has more problems than its older version, the PS2. It might surprise you to know that this is not a manufacturer issue, but most likely, a ‘user error.’ It seems that gamers often make things more complicated than they actually were and this results to an increased number of problems and complaints.If there is something wrong with your PS3, usually, you have the option to troubleshoot it on your own. Most troubleshooting procedures are the same with any other gaming device or console, and there are in fact more than one or two options, and which one you choose would depend on you.Here are some of the simple guidelines you can use.1. Cable connectionsIt is a common problem among gamers and more often than not, such a problem could be fixed by simply checking on whether the cables are properly connected or not. You will som

An Australian cat named Smokey survived 13 shots to the head from an air rifle and then found his way home after what police on Tuesday called a “shocking” act of animal cruelty.The nine-year-old moggy turned up on his owners’ doorstep bleeding from his head last week, three days after he went missing from the family home in Maryborough, central Victoria.A medical examination revealed 13 pellets lodged in his head and face. Sergeant Craig Pearse said it was remarkable Smokey had managed to get home after his ordeal.”This is just a shocking incident where someone either working alone or in a group has shown no regard for animal life and left Smokey for dead,” Pearse said.The distressed feline had to be heavily sedated while 11 of the pellets were removed, he said, adding that Smokey was expected to recover.Animal welfare advocate Hugh Wirth said the incident was “utterly disgraceful”, and that Smokey’s tormentors deserved jail.”Almost certainly these will be young males around about the

Internet users who upload video pirated from the television may no longer find the clips being taken down or find themselves in trouble. Instead they may become an important part in helping broadcasters make money from the web.

MySpace, the social networking site owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, says it will start using new technology that will identified pirated material and insert an advert along the bottom of the video.

The sale of that advert will generate revenue that is then shared between MySpace and the TV company that created the clip.

“This is a game-changer,” said Jeff Berman, president of sales and marketing at MySpace. “We’re going from a world of no to a world of yes while protecting the rights of the copyright holder.”

MySpace is using a digital fingerprinting technology created by Auditude, a company led by a former MTV executive, and will trial it first in partnership with MTV’s parent company, Viacom. Auditude is able to index and scan hours of TV and online footage in a split second, and will be searching for clips from popular Viacom shows such as Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and MTV’s Punk’d.

Clips from Viacom shows, many of which are popular among young viewers, have been among those most often pirated and uploaded by the mainly young users of social networking and video sharing sites – much to the fury of Viacom.

The company is currently pursuing a $1bn lawsuit against Google’s YouTube over what it says are millions of incidences of copyright infringement by users who uploaded clips of its shows to the video sharing website. It has held out against revenue sharing deals that other broadcasters have signed with YouTube, saying the site does not do enough to identify and take down copyrighted material. YouTube says it has implemented video identification technology similar to Auditude’s.

Mika Salmi, president of global digital media at MTV Networks, lavished praise on what he said is News Corp’s more accommodating attitude.

“This deal with MySpace is quite different,” he said. “MySpace has always respected copyright and is more progressive about copyright in our mind. The way we’re pushing this out with Auditude and MySpace is different than with YouTube or our past associations there.”

News Corp is also a major broadcaster and producer in its own right, owning the Fox television network that makes The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Idol.

The ads served through Auditude are called “attribution overlay,” a semitransparent strip that covers the lower third of the video player. Although the exact formatting of the overlay will vary as the companies experiment, it will identify the channel that provides the program as well as links to either see a full-length episode or purchase a download. In addition, the overlay can convey a separate brand message from an advertiser that could trigger a second video within the player.

Ultraviolet (UV) light has shorter wavelengths than visible light. Though these waves are invisible to the human eye, some insects, like bumblebees, can see them! (Image of the bumblebee is courtesty of Mark Cassino.)     An image of a bumblebee.

Scientists have divided the ultraviolet part of the spectrum into three regions: the near ultraviolet, the far ultraviolet, and the extreme ultraviolet. The three regions are distinguished by how energetic the ultraviolet radiation is, and by the “wavelength” of the ultraviolet light, which is related to energy.

The near ultraviolet, abbreviated NUV, is the light closest to optical or visible light. The extreme ultraviolet, abbreviated EUV, is the ultraviolet light closest to X-rays, and is the most energetic of the three types. The far ultraviolet, abbreviated FUV, lies between the near and extreme ultraviolet regions. It is the least explored of the three regions.

The Extreme Ultraviolet Sun.     Our Sun emits light at all the different wavelengths in electromagnetic spectrum, but it is ultraviolet waves that are responsible for causing our sunburns. To the left is an image of the Sun taken at an Extreme Ultraviolet wavelength - 171 Angstroms to be exact. (An Angstrom is a unit length equal to 10-10 meters.) This image was taken by a satellite named SOHO and it shows what the Sun looked like on April 24, 2000.

Though some ultraviolet waves from the Sun penetrate Earth’s atmosphere, most of them are blocked from entering by various gases like Ozone. Some days, more ultraviolet waves get through our atmosphere. Scientists have developed a UV index to help people protect themselves from these harmful ultraviolet waves.

How do we “see” using Ultraviolet light?

It is good for humans that we are protected from getting too much ultraviolet radiation, but it is bad for scientists! Astronomers have to put ultraviolet telescopes on satellites to measure the ultraviolet light from stars and galaxies - and even closer things like the Sun!

There are many different satellites that help us study ultraviolet astronomy. Many of them only detect a small portion of UV light. For example, the Hubble Space Telescope observes stars and galaxies mostly in near ultraviolet light. NASA’s Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer satellite is currently exploring the extreme ultraviolet universe. The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite has observed in the far and near ultraviolet regions for over 17 years.     The International Ultraviolet Explorer

What does Ultraviolet light show us?

We can study stars and galaxies by studying the UV light they give off - but did you know we can even study the Earth? Below is an unusual image - it is a picture of Earth taken from a lunar observatory! This false-color picture shows how the Earth glows in ultraviolet (UV) light.

The Far UV Camera/Spectrograph deployed and left on the Moon by the crew of Apollo 16 took this picture. The part of the Earth facing the Sun reflects much UV light. Even more interesting is the side facing away from the Sun. Here, bands of UV emission are also apparent. These bands are the result of aurora caused by charged particles given off by the Sun. They spiral towards the Earth along Earth’s magnetic field lines.     The UV Earth D

Many scientists are interested in studying the invisible universe of ultraviolet light, since the hottest and the most active objects in the cosmos give off large amounts of ultraviolet energy.

The image below shows three different galaxies taken in visible light (bottom three images) and ultraviolet light (top row) taken by NASA’s Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) on the Astro-2 mission.

UV and Visible images of 3 galaxiesD

The difference in how the galaxies appear is due to which type of stars shine brightest in the optical and ultraviolet wavelengths. Pictures of galaxies like the ones below show mainly clouds of gas containing newly formed stars many times more massive than the sun, which glow strongly in ultraviolet light. In contrast, visible light pictures of galaxies show mostly the yellow and red light of older stars. By comparing these types of data, astronomers can learn about the structure and evolution of galaxies.
