AP Interactive visualizes a future of stories that reach beyond text Over the past two years, the Associated Press has nearly doubled the number of interactive graphics it produces each month, jumping from 40 in 2009 to over 70 so far in 2011. On the surface, that increase is logical almost to the point of being unsurprising: The AP, after all, makes a lot of stuff that serves a lot of clients, and the demand for interactives is growing. But while the AP’s Interactive department is pumping out a steady amount of work, it’s what they’re creating — and how they’re creating it — that’s really interesting: from data visualizations to mash-ups of video, maps, and animation that can jump from website to phone to (soon enough) tablet. Often, they’re creating those features against the backdrop of breaking news. Data visualization is “going through a kind of renaissance in journalism,” said Shazna Nessa, director of Interactive for the AP. “It’s integral to everything we do,” Nessa said of the team’s reliance on programmers.
Fraction S'mores! Details Published on Wednesday, July 30 2014 9:25 am Hi! We're halfway through the week. So far I've been pretty productive and I am getting super close to finishing my George Washington's Socks novel unit! I always get sooo giddy when I finish a large project like that because I can finally see it all coming together! Well, I snuck in a little time while Clara napped this morning to make a fraction freebie for you all! I purchased this adorable s'mores clip art from Scrappin' Doodles earlier this spring when I created my Camping Themed Classroom Decor Pack. Check it out: I'm a huge s'mores fan. So, hopefully you'll be a big fan of this freebie! Enjoy and let me know if you use it!

Why Are LEGO Sets Expensive? - Wired Science I’m not sure I would say LEGO blocks are that expensive, but the statement is that they are expensive because they are so well made. Really, this has to at least be partially true. If you take some blocks made in 1970, they still fit with pieces made today. That is quite impressive. But the real question is: what is the distribution of LEGO sizes? Here is the plan. Here is my first set of data. These 88 measurements have an average of 15.814 mm with a standard deviation of 0.0265 mm. What about older LEGO pieces? Fortunately, I found one of my original sets from the late 70s. v I even have the instructions. The pieces from the 70s have an average of 15.819 mm with a standard deviation of 0.026 mm. How about something else? Maybe that wasn’t such a great plot. What About Other Objects? Do other things have high precision parts too? I found three different sets of objects to measure. There are these wooden planks that are used for building stuff. Price Per Piece of LEGO
Enviar olores por Whatsapp será posible en 2016 con oPhone La tecnología y olor no parecen conceptos llamados a entenderse. Más bien solemos relacionar la tecnología con algo aséptico, frío, neutro. Hasta que ha llegado oPhone, un dispositivo que permite enviar mensajes con olor a través del teléfono móvil o la tableta. Qué pensaría si le llegara una foto al WhatsApp con las lentejas que le ha preparado su madre y que pudiera olerlas; o enviar por correo la imagen del ramo de flores que le ha comprado a su mujer junto con su aroma; o ver en su teléfono una foto de su pequeña hija y percibir su olor a niña recién bañada. Todo esto es posible ya con oPhone, un proyecto en cuyo desarrollo trabaja la empresa marbellí Kibo Studios y que pretende superar las barreras tecnológicas y permitir la comunicación sensitiva a distancia. La labor de Kibo Studios, que comparte inversores con oPhone, radica ahora, según Linares, en "proponer, aportar, sugerir e investigar" para elaborar nuevas ideas de negocio y desarrollar aplicaciones entorno a este invento.
The Classroom Game Nook: Easter Game Freebie for Little Kiddos! Hi friends! How was your weekend? I know many of you are heading back to school today after spring break - my sympathies :) But, there's nothing like a little freebie to brighten your day, right? So, I made a sweet little number matching game. I don't make a lot of games for the primary students {sorry - I'm a 4th grade teacher at heart}, so I thought it was time. Let's have a look shall we: {game is provided in B&W as well} Click the picture above to get your own copy. You can have students simply find the matches during an individual center, or have students play a partner game of "Memory." I'd love to hear what you think if you print and use the game!

Entrenamientos virtuales de fútbol bastante realistas para rehabilitación y mejora Por @Alvy — 31 de Octubre de 2018 Los británicos de Mi Hiepa Sports llevan tiempo perfeccionando un sistema de realidad virtual para entrenamiento futbolístico del que los vídeos tienen muy buen aspecto; sólo faltaría probarlo a ver las sensaciones. Se trata de unas gafas VR y dos botas llenas de sensores de movimiento en los pies del jugador. El invento tiene buena pinta porque parece que las reacciones son buenas y rápidas –aunque es sólo un vídeo– y también teniendo en cuenta que no se trata de un entrenamiento físico sino más bien mental y de reacción. Lo más divertido es sin duda la gran variedad de juegos y entrenamientos posibles, con escenarios bastante realistas y máquinas lanzadores de balones infinitas en plan Guitar Hero, pruebas para mejorar el tiempo de reacción, la orientación y el entrenamiento estratégico.
Edición en RV Ambisonics es una técnica de sonido envolvente esférico utilizado por los entusiastas que permite emplear fuentes de sonido situadas sobre y bajo el oyente, no solo fuentes situadas en el plano horizontal. A diferencia de otros formatos envolventes multicanal, sus canales de transmisión no transportan señal de los altavoces. Lo que contienen es una representación independiente de los altavoces de un campo de sonido llamado B-format, campo que el sistema de altavoces del oyente descodifica. Este paso adicional permite al productor pensar en términos de dirección de fuente, no en posiciones de altavoces, y ofrece al oyente una considerable flexibilidad en cuando al diseño y número de altavoces usados para la reproducción. Puede montar sonido Ambisonics en un vídeo 360 para crear una experiencia envolvente. Para comprobar la correcta alineación, debe supervisar el audio Ambisonics al cambiar su orientación.
