Nothing of Leonardo DAVinci's sketchbooks were published until the 20th century. These are some of the most important documents of the Renaissance, and they did not become known until the 20th century. There are still people who do not know how important this work was. His anatomical studies were a watershed moment, because they introduced visual diagrams as the standard for communicating knowledge of the body and self. This was no more and no less than the conviction that the true knowledge of the shape of any body could only be arrived at by seeing it from different aspects. The truth of the body, the truth of the human being can only be discovered by looking at the body from multiple aspects, like; level, motion, perspective, transformation and growth. He opened up the body, it had always been closed, now its open. Now, what goes on inside the body is going to give us the essence of what it means to be human. It is the internal struggle, the self with the self, within .you. When you look at his sketchbooks, you see just one place where the whole world opens up.

Foley, who spent a decade working for AOL, is now a consultant and coach who encourages women to be "bodacious" bold, audacious and courageous.

Culture is a unique and fascinating aspect of the human species. How did it emerge and how does it develop? Richard Dawkins has suggested that culture evolves and that memes are the cultural replicators, subject to variation and selection in the same way as genes function in the biological world. In this sense human culture is the product of a mindless evolutionary algorithm. Does this imply that we are mere meme machines and that the conscious self is an illusion? Kate Distin extends and strengthens Dawkins's theory and presents a fully developed and workable concept of cultural DNA. She argues that culture's development can be seen both as the result of memetic evolution and as the product of human creativity. Memetic evolution is therefore compatible with the view of humans as conscious and intelligent.

Das ursprüngliche Modell hatte einen 1-Zylinder-Viertaktmotor mit einem Hubraum von 125 cm³; die Höchstgeschwindigkeit lag bei ca. 106 km/h. Kraftstoffverbrauch laut Werksangabe: 2,9 l/100 km (Superbenzin), real erfahrungsmäß etwas höher. Im Jahre 2001 wurde der C1 200 (mit 176 cm³ Hubraum) vorgestellt, der 112 km/h erreichte, insbesondere aber eine verbesserte Beschleunigung sowie ein etwas reiferes Klangbild aufwies. Im Detail: Aus 176 cm³ schöpft der C1 200 13 kW (17,5 PS), das Drehmoment erhöhte sich von 12 auf 17 Nm. Der 176-cm³-Motor war mit 11,5 : 1 geringer verdichtet als der 125-cm³-Motor (13,0 : 1). Die Beschleunigung von 0 auf 50 km/h sank von 5,9 auf 3,9 s, d. h., der C1 200 beschleunigte hier 51 Prozent besser als der C1 125.
