An Interactive Mind Map Made With Thinglink This morning I saw a Tweet from Thinglink Edu about an interactive image of examples of uses of Thinglink in education. One of the examples was this interactive mind map created by Phillipe Packu. The mind map is a drawing that was uploaded to Thinglink then pinned with videos, images, audio files, and links to example each part of the mind map. I've embedded the mind map below. Applications for Education I've written about Thinglink a bunch of times because I think that it can be a very useful tool for students to tag and identify important elements in images. Tempoic Imprint: The Fingerprint of Speech Every individual speaks at a different pace. The pace of the individual’s speech is highly idiosyncratic, allowing for only superficial similarities to others, at best. Truly, it can be said with full confidence that an individual’s speech patterns are akin to a fingerprint. The pace and timing of one’s words give some insight as to the nature of the individual’s thought connectivity. However, this tempoic imprint, particular to the individual, may indeed become compromised by inner and outer interferences. Consider, for instance, how you relate to your employer. But consider what happens when your boss crosses a certain line. We fear that if we upset our bosses, we will lose our jobs and as a result, lose the health insurance that is taking care of our sick children. Related Social Rejects Are More Creative Most of the outliers know that being strange, unique, and original has always been advantageous to creative ingenuity and discovery. Sep 17, 2012 In "News"
The Many Types of Identity Theft There are several types of identity theft. Knowing what to do if you are a victim of identity theft starts by knowing what type of identity theft you are dealing with. Financial Identity Theft When we hear the words "identity theft" we usually think of credit reports and bank accounts. Our faith in our financial institutions is shaken. Insurance Identity Theft Your Guide has identified insurance identity theft as a "new" type of identity theft. Medical Identity Theft The World Health Organization said this is “the information crime that can kill you.” There are very specific areas you will want to look into when you are a victim of medical identity theft, and they are in general vastly different from dealing with any other type of identity theft.

The agency terminated an order it had issued back in 2004 approving the use of a new font in highway signs. Now those signs are going to change. Again. By ending its “Interim Approval for Use of Clearview Font for Positive Contrast Legends on Guide Signs,” the FHWA reversed its position on Clearview, a font developed to improve highway-sign legibility on the roads. Just 12 years later, the FHWA is changing course: Highway Gothic is the only font for U.S. highways going forward. The announcement took Donald Meeker by complete surprise. “It’s unfortunate. A new font for older drivers Clearview was made to improve upon its predecessor, a 1940s font called Highway Gothic, at a time when an aging Baby Boomer generation meant lots of older drivers on the road. At the time, the FHWA agreed. An about-(type)face Was everyone wrong?
Major Mike’ receives burial worthy of the decorated war dog he was A highly unusual memorial and burial, in the small rural farming town of Powell, Wyoming, was held Wednesday to celebrate and lay to rest a soldier. This soldier loved chasing tennis balls and chewing on them, his reward for a job well done in the war zone. In fact, whenever he discovered anything round and relatively soft, he was giddy. He served two harrowing tours of duty in Iraq with distinction and was promoted to major when he retired from an Army special operations group. The military had named him K-9 Mike 5 #07-257, but he came to be known as “Major Mike,” or Michael, as his war and peacetime partner, retired Army ranger Matthew Bessler, liked to call him. [A veteran and his war dog both returned from Iraq with PTSD and now support each other] ‘Major Mike’ the military dog on tour in Iraq. That was until last month, when Mike was shot to death by a bicyclist who said the dog was attacking him. According to the U.S. More photos from the funeral: Inspired Life newsletter

lifehack Actual phone calls are being made less and less with every day, and mostly in cases where there is a truly intimate connection or an emergency. Instead, texting has taken over. Everyone, from young to old, is using texting as their main means of communication, whether it is via SMS, Facebook or Whatsapp, using either their phones or a version of the app on their computer. Even though it is a cool and easy way to reach someone, people still have problems grasping the unwritten rules and manners of texting. 1. Be a good person and respond swiftly.

From sexual liberation to liberation from sex Young people are forever shocking their elders, and elders, however shocking they themselves may have been to their own elders once upon a time, never fail to play their generation’s perennial role of shocked onlookers to shocking youthful behavior of one sort or another. Not very long ago, well within living memory, parents found their children’s sexual behavior shocking. Sex was so open, so free, so ubiquitous, so uninhibitedly taken for granted. No hiding, no guilt, no confining it against nature within institutional straitjackets like marriage. Half a century later, kids are still shocking and elders still shocked, but for shockingly different reasons. The Asahi Shimbun has lately been running a series of reports on what it’s like to be 18 in a country no longer young. The first two may go some way toward explaining the third. Parents. But they have met. Take bathing. What’s wrong with it? A separate article in the Asahi series looks at another aspect of parent-child intimacy.
