Nowadays it is capable to make simple MathML operations ( arithmetic and logical ) and to representate 2D and 3D graphs .

Now you could ask me , why should the user mind about MathML ?

That s easy . With this , we can operate with functions like cos() , sin() , any other trigonometric functions , sum () or product () .

It does not matter what kind it is .

We can use plus() , times() and everything which has its operator .

The Foundation recently published a comparative study as part of the EPOC project which assesses the extent to which direct participation can humanise work while increasing profitability .

The study is based on 195 personal interviews with senior officials of the social partners as representatives of national level peak organisations in fifteen European countries .

As important industrial sectors , the metal industry and the banking sector were also included .

Key speakers at the social exclusion conference were ( left to right ) Cristina Louro , Employment , Industrial Relations and Social Affairs Directorate , European Commission Fernando Gomes , a high degree of Committee of the Regions Barbara Weiler , Member of the European Parliament José Maria Gil-Robles , Vice-President , European Parliament and John Carroll , Economic and Social Committee .

Case Studies Each national report contains a portfolio of between 25 and 30 initiatives which best present policies and practices to improve the recruitment , training and development of ageing workers in both the work place and the community .

Dorothy L. Sayers , “ The Nine Tailors “

ASLACTON , England --

Of all scenes that evoke rural England , this is one of the loveliest : An ancient stone church stands amid the fields , the sound of bells cascading from its tower , calling the faithful to evensong .

The parishioners of St. Michael and All Angels stop to chat at the church door , as members here always have .

In the tower , five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614 .

Ringers memorize patterns of changes , known as “ methods , “ which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters .

A series of 5,000 or so changes is a “ peal “ and takes about three hours .

A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved .

Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle , one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter 's stance , each pulling a rope that disappears through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber .

No one speaks , and the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the bells themselves , muffled by the ceiling .

An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington , several of whom are members of the congregation .

But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells .

At St. Mary 's Church in Ilminster , Somerset , the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance .

The vicar , W.D. Jones , refuses to talk about it , saying it would “ reopen the wound . “

But C.J.B. Marshall , vicar of a nearby church , feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar .

But C.J.B. Marshall , vicar of a nearby church , feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar .

“ So crunch , crunch , crunch , bang , bang , bang -- here come the ringers from above , making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer , “ he says .

Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue , since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself .

“ The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church , “ he says .
