What Is The Price Of A Topsy Turvy Cake
Governance: A model in the pursuit of democratic participation
(Khademian & Feldman, 2007, pg. 308)
"Internet governance is the Development and application by Governments, the private sector and Civil Society, in Their respective roles, of shared Principles, Norms, rules, decision-making Procedures, and Programmes That shape the evolution and use of the Internet. "
http://www.wgig.org/docs/REPORTS.doc
In this definition all stakeholders play an important role, from any of the areas of participation: state , private sector or civil society. The Internet itself becomes a stage that facilitates participation. Through the blogs (the new world of the blogosphere), forums or wikis, public participation had never found a better partner to participate. In this third environment, as called Echeverría (2007, pg. 69), social networks are created torno a una problemática común. La sociedad civil puede entrar a discutir sobre aquellos riesgos que no tienen mayor atención por los otros actores. Un caso real que puede servir para apoyar mi anterior afirmación es el retiro del mercado de más de cuatro millones de baterías por parte de la empresa Dell Computer en 2006 por las denuncias en cientos de blogs de las explosiones que se presentaban en los equipos de cómputo. La proliferación de “noticias”, en otros medios, hizo que se presentara una reacción mundial frente a estas baterías; algunas aerolíneas, por ejemplo, prohibieron el uso de portátiles Dell en sus aviones . El sector privado (Dell, Apple, Sony) tuvieron que aceptar sus errores tecnológicos and support the economic costs it implied. Civil society, through social networks, won the battle for these corporations to make decisions in an attempt to eliminate the risk materialized. Internet governance, in turn, has two versions: the governance of necessity of technological regulation (domains especially) and social governance of the Internet as a need to respond to risks associated with xenophobia, satanic sects racism, terrorism, pornography, among others, which proliferate in the network.
A third version focuses on the context of corporations and is known as corporate governance. This version seeks to regulate and protect the interests of investors and shareholders (shareholders) of companies, firms and corporations in general. Contrary to the concept of governance, which I welcome, the state and civil society do not play an important role in this model. Except for its involvement through activities such as the above, from which corporations are obliged to regulate to keep its competitive power in the market.
The fourth version is governance as a new model of public sector governance which stresses the introduction of business practices and new management styles in the public sector, about Hirst (2000, pg. 18) states: "a new model of public services distinct from That of public administration under hierarchical control and Answer to Directly Elected Officials. "
The latest version of civil society is the main actor. It is the social or governance governance system where they are present unions, environmental groups, NGOs, community groups and civic associations in general. However, the prominence of one of the agents, the lay public, in this type of governance does not fertilize the discussions. Environmental groups like Greenpeace have been branded a radicalism that prevents the development of technology.
A version of governance that are not in the categories of Hirst is the "good governance" version used in the European community. There are five principles that constitute good governance: openness, participation, accountability, effectiveness and coherence. Each of these principles are essential for a more democratic governance (Commission of the European Communities, 2001, pg. 10). In regard to the principle of participation in the white paper on good governance is expressed
"The quality, relevance and effectiveness of EU policies ensuring wide participation of citizens in each and every different stages, from conception to implementation of policies. Improved participation create more confidence in the final results and the Institutions which deliver policies. Participation depends essentially on the adoption of an integrated approach of this kind from central government in the design and implementation of EU policies. " In this version
public participation demand a capacity of citizens to participate in the debate. In that sense, it is possible to have a predominant agent in a model of governance. The lay of the expert required capacity for debate, the expert must approach the civil society to understand the context in which they develop their research results, and both should approach the government for democratic decision-making and policy formulation in science and technology that affect the least involved. Is how I conceive social governance, where all policy makers are finally (policemakers).
A governance that transcends the state incorporating the private sector and civil society creates a political environment, social and economic environment for fertile discussion. The solutions to the problems of risk will be on consensus and results will be everyone's responsibility. It can then reach levels in the debate in which the risk will have a single notion, is the global risk in global governance, risk will be local in local governance, whatever the scope, under the same goals and environments of trust, discussions will be fertile.
debates about subjectivity and objectivity in the assessment of risk will be fruitful if there is a participatory discourse, in which both the mathematical models as the beliefs and values \u200b\u200bare widely discussed (Renn, 2005, pg. 52).

Pythagoras THEOREM
* Rotation: to make a rotation is needed at the point around which will make the rotation and an angle that determines how many degrees is this.
parallel
* Translations:
To make a parallel translation takes a segment AB. If a point Q moves to a point Q 'on AB, then the length of QQ' is equal to the length of AB and QQ 'is parallel to AB, while QA is parallel to Q `B.
* Reflection and symmetry
To make a reflection or symmetry is making a line called the axis of reflection or symmetry axis.
Thus if a point is in the axis of symmetry, the reflection is the same point, ie that the line is reflected in itself. Any other point on the plane is reflected across the axis of symmetry.
Another proof of the theorem of Pythagoras
Three Euclidean transformations can be used to give another demonstration of the Pythagorean theorem, namely: the whole triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs equals the square the length of the hypotenuse.
Be A `BC a right triangle where BC is the hypotenuse.
Now make the following changes:
1. By reflection symmetry axis BC, obtain the right triangle ABC.
2. For translation, according to BC, the triangle ABC we subtract the triangle T1.
4. With the triangle T2 is repeated step 2 and continues until the triangle T6.
is clear that the hypotenuse of the triangle ABC, T2, T4 and T6 are all equal to BC and that two consecutive 90-degree angle form. This means that they form a square.

regular tessellations
regular tessellation is coverage of the plane with regular polygons and congruent. Are only three regular polygons that cover (or tile) the Euclidean plane: the equilateral triangle, square and regular hexagon.
The only regular polygons that completely cover a flat surface are the equilateral triangle, square and hexagon.
As the union at each vertex must sum to 360 º no gaps, the only regular polygons that add up to 360 when joined by their corners, interior is all three.
equilateral triangles, squares and hexagons
semi-regular tessellation are those containing 2 or more regular polygons in their training. A semi-regular tessellation has the following properties:
1. This consists only of regular polygons.
2. The arrangement of polygons at each vertex is identical.
3. There are only 8 semi-regular tessellations
tiles Construction Method removable
This is a very good technique where you draw a figure on paper and then cut it and superimpose it on another paper take their boundary several times to get a tiling. Method
rabbits
is a method by which they are used only circles and ovals and create figures like rabbits but can only do black and white but is rarely used in the does white tessellation, but many do so in combination with method Encino, francaso "which is a mistake because with that method does not create tessellations but forms of alcohol bottles. With this method it is essential that not a single figure is equal to another but what differentiates the color can be put on a black and white alike in shape and the first tiling to be done with this method was the form of a bunny rabbit with 54 but all different from each other.
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TILES IN REAL LIFE
The tessellations have been used around the world from ancient times to coat floors and walls, and also as decorative furniture, carpets, tapestries in this case speak of the hexagonal tiling of a soil as shown in the picture.
method to tessellate that has been used on the floor shown in the photograph
tessellation Allen is one of the simplest methods, the construction of your employer, involves turns 60 º and 180 º of two arbitrary lines, to which underlies an equilateral triangle.
As in all cases equilateral pattern, turning it 60 degrees is obtained a hexagonal pattern (based on a regular hexagon), exactly as when turning a triangle of 60 º is generated a regular hexagon.
Since the underlying design a regular hexagon, the tiling is a special case of the previous case, as a regular hexagon is a polygon with even number of sides and has parallel. Therefore, the tiling is generated by translation, as the vectors joining midpoints of opposite sides.

One advantage of the hexagonal tessellation is that it be cheaper and performs better.
Indeed, it is easy to see that the ratio between the square of perimeter and area worth:
For the triangle to the square 16 and the hexagon.
