Voice of the Shuttle Windows and Mirrors: Why We Need Diverse Books | Scholastic Book Fairs By Chad Everett, guest blogger I was an undergraduate student the first time it happened. One of my professors shared the following line from W.E.B. Dubois’ The Souls of Black Folk: “One ever feels his twoness, -- an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.” About Chad: Chad Everett is a self-proclaimed literacy and technology geek.

FlowingData WIRED traf Star-Wars-Produzentin Kathleen Kennedy Zuerst erschienen auf WIRED.de Kathleen Kennedy erzählt gern Geschichten. Es ist 1991, in einer frühen Entwicklungsphase von Jurassic Park: „Steven [Spielberg] wollte in dem Film unbedingt einen Dinosaurier laufen sehen“, erzählt sie. Als Produzentin war es Kennedys Job, die Vision des Regisseurs auf die Leinwand zu bringen. „Im Normalfall findet man immer einen Weg, um die Geschichte, die man erzählen will, filmisch umzusetzen. Zuerst war der Plan folgender: Die Nahaufnahmen des Dinosauriers sollten per Animatronic – also mit mechanisch oder elektronisch gesteuerten Figuren, wie man sie auf Jahrmärkten findet – gefilmt werden. Unterdessen setzten Mark Dippé und Spaz Williams zwei Grafiker bei ILM, dafür ein, die Dinosaurier komplett per CGI zu kreieren. Wir waren ganz darauf fokussiert, unser Ziel zu erreichen: den T-Rex laufen zu sehen Der Rest ist bekannt. Doch Kennedy will nicht prahlen. Das Erwachen der Macht war allerdings erst der Anfang. Star Wars ist voller Ellipsen.

Did you know Awful Library Books - Hoarding is not collection development About • RAWGraphs RAW Graphs is an open source data visualization framework built with the goal of making the visual representation of complex data easy for everyone. Primarily conceived as a tool for designers and vis geeks, RAW Graphs aims at providing a missing link between spreadsheet applications (e.g. Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, OpenRefine) and vector graphics editors (e.g. Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Sketch). The project, led and maintained by the DensityDesign Research Lab (Politecnico di Milano) was released publicly in 2013 and is regarded by many as one of the most important tools in the field of data visualization. After a couple of years, the involvement of Contactlab as a funding partner brought the project to a new stage. If you have found RAWGraphs useful in your research, or if you want to reference it in your work, please consider to cite the paper we presented at CHItaly 2017.
