The Art Of Timelines For Learning. Sharebar Click for large version on Wikipedia Now that infographics have entered our consciousness, we no longer need to think of timelines as events placed on a generic horizontal arrow.
I recently wrote an article about the visual language of timelines, which got me thinking about how we can use them effectively in adult learning. Why use timelines? Timelines provide structure. Timelines enable chunking. The Visual Language of Timelines. Time is often considered to be a subjective experience—it seems to pass quickly or it drags on and on.
Structuring time with timelines, however, provides a sense of stability and objectivity. A Periodic Table of Visualization Methods. The Data Visualisation Catalogue. Color Hex - ColorHexa.com.
eLearning - PowerPoint. Illusions in Data Visualization. Data visualizations are effective ways for inputting information into a human's brain, and as Visual Analytics Researcher at Tableau Software and Visual.ly advisor Robert Kosara says, visualizations are what makes our world real.
But even when the people who created the visualization are being honest, we can't always trust what our eyes are showing us. We've evolved our visual perceptual system over millions of years (some other animals see optical illusions too) and it is extremely effective at what it does, but it still has some quirks. Sometimes it takes shortcuts to make things efficient, and those shortcuts are exposed in optical illusions. In a data visualization context, illusions are dangerous because they can make us see things that aren't really there in the data. Good practice helps us to avoid these optical illusions, but occasionally they can still sneak in through design choices, or just quirks in the way data lines up. 47 Top Typography Tools and Resources. Typography is the foundation of design on the web.
Back in 2006, designer and founder of iA Oliver Reichenstein even went so far as to proclaim "web design is 95% typography. " It's imperative, then, to have a thorough, grounded education in optimizing and utilizing typography to create a balanced, harmonious, accessible hierarchy of content, when working on the web.

Dear NASA: No More Rainbow Color Scales, Please. Dear NASA, The visualization community has noticed your insistence on using rainbow color scales for representing continuous data.
This is a plea to you (and anyone else doing the same thing) to stop. On the surface, the logic behind using a rainbow color scale makes sense: the more colors there are, the easier you would expect it to be to see detail in a huge range of data. However, when perceptual issues are taken into account, rainbow color schemes are one of the worst ways to represent continuous data. VRA Resources.

Educational animation. Educational animations are animations produced for the specific purpose of fostering learning.
The popularity of using animations to help learners understand and remember information has greatly increased since the advent of powerful graphics-oriented computers. This technology allows animations to be produced much more easily and cheaply than in former years. Previously, traditional animation required specialised labour-intensive techniques that were both time-consuming and expensive. In contrast, software is now available that makes it possible for individual educators to author their own animations without the need for specialist expertise. Creating Animations in PowerPoint to Support Student Learning and Engagement.
Key Takeaways Judicious use of animation can support teaching goals and further engage students in classroom presentations.
PowerPoint, although one of the most frequently used presentation programs around, is rarely used to its full advantage by faculty. Creating custom animations in PowerPoint is easy with a few pointers and some practice. Multimedia software has become an essential part of today's teaching and learning process. While many interactive multimedia software programs certainly exist, PowerPoint is one the most widely available and used programs today. Figure 1. Animations Can Engage Student Interest.
Framework for evaluating the Quality of Multimedia Learning Resources. Using Digital Media to Enhance Educational Transfer. Note: This is cross posted at Smart Blog on Education. Educational transfer is the point of education, right? If students can't use what we've taught them in new, real-life situations, then we end up with students who are good at school and bad at life. Recent research from National Academies Press reminds us that one of the best ways to promote transfer is to balance students' cognitive load while they consume or create multimedia.
Every time students are presented with a new idea or situation, the following three processes happen simultaneously: · Extraneous processing – This type of processing handles all of the "extra stuff" that occurs within a situation. . · Essential processing – This is the processing that is directly related to the task at hand.
. · Generative processing – This is the most important type of processing. Blog.SpoonGraphics. The Artist's Toolkit: Explore. Powerpoint07Animation.

European Center For Law & Justice Defends Israel at United Nations
The European Centre for Law and Justice, the International affiliate of the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ): which was founded by Jay Sekulow recently made a submission defending Israel to the United Nations Human Rights Council's (UNHRC) International Fact-Finding Mission on Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
The ECLJ took issue with the fact-finding mission's basis that Israel is an "occupying" force for its disproportionate singling out of Israel for review and reprimand. The ECLJ details why in fact Israel is not an "occupying" force and that "Israel's settlements in the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights are fully consistent with Israel's rights in international law."
The submission reminded the UNHRC that the UN never established the pre-1967 armistice lines as the permanent boundaries of the Israeli state. Further, the UN resolution enacted after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war required "secure … boundaries" for Israel, which was, as the submission notes, "something that did not exist prior to 1967 as evidenced by the persistent attacks mounted against Israel from Arab-controlled territory and would not exist today if the status quo ante were reinstated."
The ECLJ concluded: "The presumption in the Mission's mandate that Israel is "occupying" territory that belongs to Arab Palestinians is simply incorrect historically, factually, and legally. The mandate for Palestine, an internationally-adopted and -sanctioned document enshrining the right of Jews to settle throughout Palestine, constituted a sacred trust and continues to exist. Further, security Council Resolution 242 and its progeny clearly envisaged that Israel would have to acquire additional territory to attain defensible borders. As such, Israeli settlements in Mandate territory are lawful under international law. The ultimate territorial solution must come via bilateral negotiations between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. Further, because the Golan heights were acquired through defensive war against serial aggressor Syria, Israel's retaining such territory is compatible with both the letter and spirit of international law. As such, Israeli communities are also lawful."
The ECLJ urged the UN Human Rights Council's fact-finding mission to find that Israel is not "occupying" territory and that its settlements are in compliance with international law.

The threat of a lockout is already putting the 2011 NFL football season in jeopardy. However, if the armored gladiators can't play this fall, a gang of women in lingerie may step in to fill your Sunday afternoon football jones.
That's right, the Lingerie Football League is considering moving their regular season games from Friday to Sunday if the NFL labor situation doesn't get worked out.
Lingerie football is played seven-on-seven, and there is no punting or field goal kicking in the ten team league.  See the LFL in action, after the jump.
Sarah White believes arousal can aid people in taking control of their lives. Which is why the attractive psychology student offers sessions in which her clients discuss their problems while she takes off her clothes.
While some would say this makes White a glorified stripper, she's muzzling the haters by getting great press: White was nominated as one of "Wired" magazine's Sexiest Geeks of the year for her nude website coding services, and iPad newspaper "The Daily" recently covered her unique brand of therapy.
After the jump, check out "The Daily"'s (safe for work) video of White doing her thing, and judge for yourself:

After the first day of the competition Watson was tied with Rutter for the lead.

But the pair caught on when folks started walking up to them and asking them this questions. On their fourth try, Ouida and Aaron found the mystery man, and the homeless couple became the big winners.

Many thousands of protestors took to the streets of Cairo on Friday to protest the long rule of President Hosni Mubarak, who they claim has undermined freedoms of Egyptian citizens while neglecting issues like the nation's suffering economy. The recent ousting of a similarly authoritarian Tunisian leader inspired the revolt.

Brian Hoyer and Javon Ringer had integral roles in MSU's success this season. Both are from Ohio. / DFP
While much has been made about Michigan States in-state recruiting effort under Mark Dantonio, what can't be overlooked is how the staff had a lot of success in Ohio. Since becoming the MSU coach, Dantonio has brought in 20 players from Ohio. In terms of imports, the next-highest number is two from Georgia and Florida.
It is no surprise that the Spartans have been so well received in Ohio -- the majority of the coaches can trace their roots to Ohio. Even some members of the staff that are not native Ohioans played their college football there.
If Michigan State has one of the top recruiting classes in the Big Ten next year, it will be due to the job done in Ohio. The Spartans have already offered several prospects from there and are making them high priorities for the class of 2010.
MSU has been actively recruiting Anthony Wayne offensive lineman Andrew Donnal for a while. Donnal was on campus last fall for the Notre Dame game. He already has scholarship offers from Michigan State, Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. Rivals.com will likely make Donnal a four-star recruit and one of the top 250 prospects in the nation when the rankings are released later this spring.
Linebacker Scott McVey is from the high school as former MSU quarterback Brian Hoyer, Cleveland St. Ignatius. McVey is considered by many one of the top two linebacker prospects in the Buckeye State. The Spartans offered him early, as did Ohio State. Jim Tressel's program usually gets the in-state players they want, but the Spartans are not conceding.
Safety Latwan Anderson plays for perennial powerhouse Lakewood St. Edwards. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Anderson has incredible speed and is known for his big hits. The Spartans were one of the first BCS teams to offer and that's gotten other teams, like Michigan and Iowa, to follow suit. He will also likely be a Rivals.com four-star recruit.
Avon Lake teammates Christian Pace and Dan Schneider are two others the Spartans have contacted. Pace, an offensive lineman, recently picked up his first scholarship offer from a MAC program and Schneider, a tight end, performed very well at the National Underclass Combine last week in Cleveland.
No state in this region produces as much talent as Ohio. Much of Michigan States on field success this fall can be attributed to guys like Hoyer, Javon Ringer, Justin Kershaw and Greg Jones -- all Ohio products. Dantonio and his staff will look hard over the next few months for the next crop of Ohio Spartans.
Matt Dorsey is a recruiting analyst for SpartanMag.com and Rivals.com.

Review collected in partnership with Days Inn
We had concerns having read poor reviews but the room was clean and the staff was nice. There are smoking rooms so the corridor smelt slightly of smoke but we had a non smoking room which did not. It obviously doesn't look like the Ritz inside but we didn't pay for that so we were pleased with our stay.
While I was grateful to find an available room on an evening of multiple flight cancellations at O'Hare, I did not find the Days Inn to be up to even average standards. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the room was clean enough, but really shabby, completely in need of renovation, and the carpet sadly in need of...
Never stayed at a worse hotel! Not a secure building. Anyone off the street can enter. Dirty floors, dirty towels, dirty bed linens, no alarm clock, no working phone, mold in bathtub. Public PC in lobby didn't work and ATM was out of service. Prob more but you prob get the point. 1 positive... AC worked OK.
Days Inn elk -Grove is a wonderful place to stay and you will be very comfortable, from the shuttle Bus and Bus driver to the receptions, house keeping, the continental breakfast, the vending machine, high speed wifi, 24hrs coffee machine at the reception, the fitness room, the laundry room, i can go on on ... then we the room is...
This is my second stay at this hotel, and like the last time it was again an awesome experience. Entire staff were so courteous and displayed high professionalism. Felt like home away from home. Will stay here positively next time as well.

This hotel may be suitable if you can't find anything else or cannot afford a proper hotel. The name is ridiculous, because it is far from first class: not only lack the building and rooms every form of inspiration (they are clearly built to earn money easily), but it is very noisy as well because the room doors are made...
Review collected in partnership with Easytobook.com
Having read some of the previous reviews, and in light of what we had paid, we were pleasantly surprised on arriving at the hotel for our one night stopover en route to Liguria. The welcome was friendly and informative, the room was clean, comfortable and a reasonable size and the bathroom, although a plastic pod within the room, was fine...
Unlike some of the newer PC hotels, this one had paper thin walls and ceilings plus plumbing that allowed you to hear the shape and size of everyone's nocturnal ablutions. All night! Bread and buffet as stale as ever but hell, what can you expect for €27 a night!
Suitable for an inexpensive roadside stop. Bed was small (for two) and slanted toward the middle. The only night of our 18-day journey that I didn't really sleep. TV was in corner and very high so that watching the Finale of French X Factor and random American programs was neck-torture. Adjoining restaurant was exceptional, though! But spaceship bathroom malodorous. No...

Best Selling Author Stephen Cherniske Releases 'The Metabolic Makeover'
Olympia, WA
Best-selling author and world-renowned biochemist Stephen Cherniske, and double board-certified physician and wife, Dr. Natalie Kather, announce the launch of their new revolutionary book The Metabolic Makeover (March, 2014). The book outlines a proven, clinically-tested health plan thousands have followed with positive and lasting results.
Cherniske's blockbuster international bestseller, The DHEA Breakthrough (Ballantine 1996) earned him a leadership position in the emerging science of healthy aging. Now 66 years old, his strength, stamina, blood chemistry, brain scan and body composition more closely resemble that of a healthy 30 year-old. Results from the Metabolic Makeover described in the book offer readers lifestyle benefits most people seek: more energy, increased exercise tolerance, weight loss, better mood, deeper sleep and renewed feelings of vitality. The Metabolic Makeover exposes myths about current popular fads, explaining the unhealthy cycle most people experience by using stimulants for a short-lived energy boost and subsequent energy crash. "The addictive cycle of using artificial stimulants found in popular drinks and supplements today are literally wearing people out, but people do not have a clue about how to stop the destruction and create real energy. The Metabolic Makeover teaches how," Cherniske explains.
Stephen Cherniske has been interviewed in major media outlets including an interview on Dateline for his revolutionary anti-aging research. The husband and wife co-author team boast more than 200 citations from peer-reviewed biomedical literature and decades of experience, proving this team to be highly respected and sought after authorities on food, nutrition, quality of life, and metabolism. For media inquiries contact Diane at info(at)inspiredmc(dot)com.
"We all know people who are naturally thin," says Dr. Kather. "They never have to count calories, buy fat clothes, or go on a diet. They also have an abundance of energy and never crave carbs. Stephen's research reveals the genetic secret that naturally thin people enjoy, and the Metabolic Makeover can give any motivated person those advantages."
About the Authors
Stephen Cherniske, M.S. is a biochemist and former university instructor in Clinical Nutrition. He served on the faculty of the American College of Sports Medicine, advised members of the US Olympic team, and directed the nation's first federally licensed clinical laboratory specializing in nutrition and immunology. A best-selling author with more than a million copies in print, Stephen has a remarkable gift for communicating breakthrough science that inspires, entertains and motivates.
Natalie Kather, M.D. received her medical degree from The University of Utah School of Medicine. She is board-certified in Family Medicine, as well as Anti-aging, with specialties in women's health, hormone balancing and human performance. Natalie is recognized as a pioneer in the emerging science of metabolic medicine, and frequently serves as Principal Investigator for clinical trials in that arena. Her clinic, Advanced Family Wellness, is located in Olympia Washington, where she lives with her husband, Stephen Cherniske.

He added that to date the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of ionizing irradiation on fresh produce for use on only lettuce and spinach, so the research team studied only those specific leafy greens.
"We selected electron-beam processing as this is the technology that has the potential for worldwide use because it is based on electricity and is basically a switch-on, switch-off type technology," Pillai said.
For their experiments, the team obtained iceberg lettuce and baby spinach samples from local grocery stores, then inoculated the samples with rotavirus and poliovirus and exposed the samples to defined electron-beam doses.
Pillai said results showed that electron-beam irradiation was able to inactivate both rotavirus and poliovirus on lettuce and spinach. The team's quantitative health-risk estimates showed that even if a serving size of about 14 grams of lettuce contained 140 polio virus particles, electron-beam irradiation at 3 kilograys (kGy) will reduce the risk of infection from greater than two in 10 persons, or 20 percent, to approximately six in 100 persons, or six percent. A kilogray is measurement unit of an absorbed ionizing radiation dose.
Similarly, according to study results, for a serving size of spinach contaminated with approximately 10 rotavirus particles, electron-beam irradiation at 3 kilograys will reduce infection risks from about three in 10 persons, or 30 percent, to about five in 100 persons, or five percent.
Pillai, however, noted that electron-beam irradiation is not meant to be used as a "stand-alone" or "clean-up" technology.
"The technology has to be used in conjunction with good agricultural practices in the fiel

Sociology & Society Of Japan (Japanese Studies)
This is a detailed study of the sociology and society of Japan. Japan is the only major industrial society yet to emerge outside the West, yet Japanese society is very different from Western society and must be understood in its own terms. The difference is found not so much in organizational and industrial structures as in the Japanese view of the individual and society and the relationship between them, which is the focus of this book. Part I deals with the development of sociology in Japan from the end of the Tokugawa period to the present with the modernization of Japanese society from the Meiji Restoration to the end of World War II, and with the relationship between sociology, socialism and society in the interwar years. Part II considers the theoretical and empirical problems of rural and urban community studies. Separate chapters are devoted to a critical examination of Tadashi Fukutake, the best-known sociologist of post-war Japan, to community power structures and to the environment movement. Part III deals with the development of capitalism in relation to the religious cosmos of ordinary Japanese people, with the Tennousei ideology, Japan's war of aggression and with the Japanese image of the world.

Just so happened that a copy of Walser's Microscripts arrived in the mail this morning from the wonderful people at New Directions, so I thought I'd follow up on the last post with a bit more info about the first event in the fall RTWCS.
On September 23rd, Barbara Epler of New Directions will talk with Susan Bernofsky (translator of Robert Walser, Jenny Erpenbeck, Yoko Tawada, and others) about Walser, his "microscripts," and the art and practice of translation.
I suspect that most everyone reading this site is familiar with Robert Walser (we've written about his work enough times, and here's an interesting piece by J. M. Coetzee from the New York Review Books), but in case not, he was one of the most important and interesting writers of the twentieth century, author of The Tanners, The Assistant, Jakob von Gunten, The Robber, and tons of short stories. He also worked as a bank clerk, a butler in a castle, and an inventor's assistant—all jobs that greatly informed his writing. After being diagnosed with schizophrenia, Walser was hospitalized in 1933 and was institutionalized for the last twenty-three years of his life, during which time he wrote tons of "microscripts," which were considered "undecipherable" until rather recently.
Here's some info from Susan Bernofsky's introduction:
Robert Walser, one of high modernism's quirkiest, most mischievous storytellers, wrote many of his manuscripts in a shrunken-down form that remains enigmatic even a century later. These narrow strips of paper covered with tiny, antlike markings ranging from one to two millimeters, came to light only after their author's death in 1956. At first his literary executor, Carl Seelig, assumed that Walser had been writing secret code, a corollary of the schizophrenia with which he'd been diagnosed in 1929. Unsure what to make of these tiny texts, Seelig published a handful of them as enlarged facsimiles int he magazine Du with a note describing them as "undecipherable," and then put them away for safekeeping.
Naturally, these turned out to be decipherable, and Werner Morlang and Bernhard Echte spent a decade analyzing the texts, using a technique more like guesswork than reading:
It isn't possible to just sit down and read a microscript. Morlang and Echte report that one doesn't so much read these tiny words as guess at what they might psay and then verify the accuracy of the hypothesis.
Part of this is based on the size of the script, but there's also the interesting nature of the script itself:
The writing that looked like secret code in Carl Seelig's eyes turned out to be a radically miniaturized Kurrent script, the form of handwriting favored in German-speaking countries until the mid-twentieth century, when it was replaced by a Latinate form similar to that used in English. Kurrent is medieval in its origins, all up-and-down slanting angles. It is a form of script better suited to compression than modern handwriting, though its graphic simplicity—an e is represented by a simple pair of vertical ticks like a quotation mark, an s by a mere slash—means that shrinking it down results in a dramatic loss of detail and comprehensibility.
All of this is fascinating, making me anxious to dive into the writings themselves. And to speed up time so that it can suddenly be September 23rd . . . Barbara and Susan are both absolutely amazing, and it will be a real treat to see them on stage together.
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .

The Crimson Thread of Abandon is the first collection of short fiction available in English by the prolific Japanese writer and all-around avant-garde trickster Terayama Shūji, who died in 1983 at the age of 47. This collection would be important. . .

Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .
