...defy interpretation. LaHaye has devoted much of his career--and 13 of his nonfiction works--to puzzling out what the Bible's prophecies mean. He has explained it all in dense tomes for fellow theologians as well as in the accessible 140-page Charting the End Times: A Visual Guide to Understanding Bible Prophecy (written with Thomas Ice, 2001). "The future is settled, and not open to change," LaHaye says. There is comfort in that message...
...monumentally complex computing task. The Japanese government's Humanoid Robotics Project set out five years ago to deliver a robot versatile enough to perform hard labor in hazardous conditions. Some $40 million has been spent but the project's HRP-1 robot still suffers from poor visual recognition and has trouble walking on rough terrain. Likewise, ASIMO understands only the simplest of commands and isn't dexterous enough to wield a mop. Yet it costs more to lease than a Lamborghini. "We want to improve ASIMO to make it marketable as soon as possible...

Freed from literal representation, the artist's only obligation is to meaning and David B. takes full advantage of this. People grow and shrink, or occasionally appear as animals. Backgrounds become patterns that reflect the mood of the scene rather than the location. One remarkable panel shows Jean-Christofe's head surrounded...
Saran, who was a native of India, was best known for his work as a filmmaker, a role he thrived in both at Harvard’s visual and environmental studies (VES) department and at international film festivals...
