Photo by NASA on Unsplash [Working draft] Stars have a limit on how big they can be, and when talking about big we are referring to different properties of a star. Some of a star properties are the diameter of the sphere, mass and density. Depending on mass, a star can reach a point when it collapses on its on gravity. It is a this time when nuclear reactions, which releases energy, maintains the star from collapsing completely. The size of the star depends on the relationship between these two forces. Where is the limit? Very massive stars have such a density that their gravity ends up defeating the energy proceded by nuclear fusion, and collapse on their nucleus turning into neutron stars or black holes. We also have 'red giants', which are a kind of stars in their latest phase of their lives. Stars in this phase inflate and grow enormously, as an example when our sun finishes it current main sequence phase and turn into a red giant, we think it will expand enough to cover t...

 Gravity is a phenomena of the physical world. We can observer this phenomena when an object falls to the ground, or in ourselves standing up on the surface of the Earth. Gravity is responsible for tides, keeping our satellite and natural satellites in orbit, planet formation, their orbits around the Sun, ... . Gravity can be observed at grater scales giving structure to galaxies and clusters in the universe. It gathers gas into nebulosas, where hydrogen compacts creating the conditions for nuclear fusion and the birth of stars. It gives us the most mysterious and exotic places and events in the universe: gravitational lensing, supernovas, neutron stars, and blackholes!. Some ideas about gravity Early in the 17th century Galileo Galilei discovered that every object will accelerate in the same amount when falling to the ground, and he proposed his basic principle of relativity. The idea was a constant for gravity that was explored during the second half of the 17th century [^1]. The...

 We are nearly about to reach the first quarter of the 21st century, and we can see how skills and competencies for the job, or in our personal lives, have evolved quickly with the new technologies. Nowadays the line that separates professional and private life is blurred due to how much we use social media. The basic skillsets, transversal skills or soft skills, we need for employability is not just being OK at using computers and new technologies, but also include communication, organization, problem solving, managing and leadership. To study and prepare ourselves to be successful in the carrier we choose, will also bring sense of satisfaction and self-fulfillment. And as more professionals improve themselves in these "secondary" skills or "non technical skills", we all somehow contribute positively to society and our welfare. We may come firstly across these skills from some information read in the internet, and as first step is to be aware that these are importa...

Do you ever wondered how your coupon campaigns are performing? It is possible to implement a “Digital Coupon” with QRcode, and put it to use for your Marketing Campaigns, providing detailed data and insights for your brand or business. It is not difficult to have your own campaign up and running in a few days, because Ditoc is implementing a new product/service for QRCode campaigns. First few tests have been very satisfactory both in acceptance and ease of use, and we are welcoming brands to test it for free. Image by StockSnap from Pixabay I am excited to be starting a new project within Ditoc. The goal is to implement a platform that provides brands with “Digital Vouchers” using QRCodes. The idea is to help brands drive traffic to the stores and to collect analytics about their campaign performance. This data will provide them with insights for future campaigns and B2C communications. So what this platform can do for your campaign It allows shoppers to register and ...
