1780 to 1784 Pennsylvania Maps The end of the Revolutionary War, settled by the Treaty of Paris early in 1783, resulted in many maps published that year. Maps issued in previous years with "British colonies" or similar title words were reissued in the 1780's with "United States" in the title, and few other changes. The first map of the United States 'compiled, engraved, and printed by an American' was Abel Buell's A NEW AND CORRECT MAP OF THE UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA LAYD DOWN FROM THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND BEST AUTHORITY AGREEABLE TO THE PEACE OF 1783, published in 1784.

7 Apps for Teaching Children Coding Skills It's hard to imagine a single career that doesn't have a need for someone who can code. Everything that "just works" has some type of code that makes it run. Coding (a.k.a. programming) is all around us. That's why all the cool kids are coding . . . or should be. Programming is not just the province of pale twenty-somethings in skinny jeans, hunched over three monitors, swigging Red Bull. Not any more! If you're concerned that that a) elementary school students don't have the ability to code, b) there's no room in the curriculum, and c) you don't possess coding chops to teach programming skills, throw out those worries. In no particular order, we have listed all the coding apps that are appropriate for young learners.

Using Google To Map The Yellowstone Trail In Washington - AMERICAN ROAD® FORUM—the ultimate road trip planning community. Copyright AMERICAN ROAD, LLC 2006-2011 I'll be taking a two-day quick trip across Washington traveling as much as possible upon the old Yellowstone Trail. Unlike other old roads that I've traveled (Route 66, etc), there's no guide book to tell me to "turn left at crappy dirt road and hope for the best." So I had to gather some common sense, maps, hearsay, luck and prayers and map it out myself. I think I done good. Here are links to how I'll be driving it with a little explanation along the way. Each link will go to a map on GoogleMaps. Seattle to Fall City (early more northerly alignment according to 1917 & 1924 Blue Books and others)*YT used 4th Ave, south to Jackson, but you can no longer go that way - used 2nd instead. Seattle to Fall City (later more southerly alignment - post 1925ish)*This is mostly based upon Hobb's 1926 map/guide. There was an even earlier alignment through Seattle, but the routing from the 1916 Blue Book makes no sense when compared with modern Seattle. From here, the YT divided. The Way Back! -Eric

burnunit / Ethereal Cartography A Republic of Desire The locus of the end points of projected desires and imagined journeys from my home(s), 1978-2009. All projections A rainbow of imagined thrusts into the world. Not places I'd BEEN, places I LONGED to reach, journeys I envisioned. at six years the extent of my ideas was minimally detailed—a desire to see the places in stories I'd heard, an inexplicable curiosity about Russia and the USSR. at around 13 The next several years saw many additions to my list of places, goals real or imagined, and inspiration from stories. at around 20 I became much less ambitious for a time, or rather, Romantic. up to and around twenty five or so the romance extended: a vision of *walking tours* of great long adventures exploring in depth. thirty Very *focused* desires, with a minimum of extraneous distractions: a consuming need to return to Minnesota, around which all others revolved. at present A distinct SF0 focus, with some recurrent themes as well. overlay with tracing
10 Amazing Tricks to Play with your Brain Mind is the aspect of intellect and consciousness experienced as combinations of thought, perception, memory, emotion, will and imagination, including all unconscious cognitive processes. Mind manifests itself subjectively as a stream of consciousness. Neuroanatomists usually consider the brain to be the pivotal unit of what we refer to as mind. The Human Brain tricks us whenever it can. You don’t actually see what it is in real or you don’t even actually hear or smell the way it should be. 10.

Ariock / Strip Map INSTRUCTIONS: Create a strip map modeled on Ogilby's maps. "A strip map is a process map, a diagram of how to go from one place to another; route and destinations are predetermined. Ordinary maps are state maps describing the whole countryside; the user decides where to go from wherever he is." Your map should provide an intimate description of what might be seen on a journey, from a slow moving vehicle or on foot. Be sure to examine the example image below. This strip map is a loop around my neighborhood, and as I walked around, I looked for things that I might not notice otherwise along the way. Note that this map does not contain at least 8 of the 10 elements that are required for a map. The map is not to scale.
Blog Archive » Time travel Map in photo above is a part of one of my final projects I did for my last school, London College of Printing (now London College of Communication). It was an attemt to redesign the London Underground map. In the beginning when I didn’t know what to do with the project, I called it “impossible mission”. How could I come up with some innovative ideas to this piece of design that is by many considered as one of the best in graphic design ever? Well, I knew couldn’t just do a normal re-design; something had to be added. When the analog bit was done, I photographed the map, scanned it and put it in the background in Illustrator. Next step was to create a new type of background zoning system. I also wanted to change the colours to more releveant colours. Below are images showing the process of drawing the map in Illustrator. This is the final map focused on Elephant & Castle. This is the final map without zones. Download map in pdf format:timetravel.pdftimetravel_no_zones.pdf
Deluge: How 300.000 Norwegians Move House in a Year The short animation titled "Deluge" [bengler.no] by Even Westvang reveals how public data can be analyzed to reveal potentially interesting patterns. In particular, this movie demonstrates the patterns of 300.000 Norwegians moving house, by cross-referencing the tax records of about 4 million individual Norwegians from 2006 and 2007. In the movie, the data is filtered by paramaters like yearly income or age, and a distinction is made between 'incoming' (red) and 'outgoing' (blue) citizens. Interestingly, in Norway all the incomes and fortunes of all tax paying individuals are made public every year, which consists of the full name, year of birth, postal code and their attendant financial data.
