El Senado brasileño está a punto de aprobar un proyecto de ley
que debilitará seriamente la protección de este tesoro mundial.
Pero dentro de tres días los pueblos indígenas de Brasil liderarán marchas
por todo el país pidiendo frenar la destrucción. Acompañémoslos
y hagamos de esta protesta ciudadana una marcha global para salvar la Amazonía.
Firmar para salvar la Amazonia.

There is much discussion about social media tactics, strategy, and ROI. However there is little talk about operations. This deck touches on staffing, business processes, technology, measurement and decision making. Slides 5-11 were inspired by Ben Parr's http://bit.ly/41AcAD
EdTech 2012 Keynote: Digital Literacy - Your Message is Your MediumMartha Rotter
My keynote talk at EdTech 2012 in Dublin was about digital literacy. It covered what is digital literacy today versus in previous decades as well as what educators can do to increase digital literacy in their own classrooms & courses.

An evening talk to Lanark Rotarians on my top ten locations. Ten stories in 20 minutes! Includes info on transhumance, how weddings are being bombed by mistake in the yemen and why chinese sanitary ware sports such wide rims.
The last ice sheet to completely cover Scotland (the Devensian ice sheet) began to melt and its margins retreat about 20,000 years ago as summer sunlight in the northern hemisphere increased. Over the following 10,000 years, the average global temperature rose by 3.50C and most of the Devensian ice sheet melted in the “Great Thaw”. In Scotland, however, a seemingly contradictory readvance of the ice took place. Around 12,900 years ago, the temperatures in Scotland plummeted and remained low for about 1300 years. This glacial period, known as the Younger Dryas, is thought to have been caused by huge quantities of meltwater escaping into the North Atlantic and closing down the North Atlantic Ocean Conveyor.
The evidence for this readvance was first analysed and appreciated in the broad hummocky lowlands to the south of Loch Lomond and this became the type area for the readvance .
A general introduction to the Quaternary Ice Age in Scotland, delivered to the Whitburn Probus on the 30th May, 2012. This went down very well and also started a discussion on how you could appraise the quality of the different landscapes inherited from the passage of the ice. This set me thinking...

Getting really fed up with the uneven playing field so thinking of making them all into videos and using Vimeo as a more stable and realistic platform. Let me know what you think on Flickr. Now if the Guardian got rid of their stupid headers and footers....
Anyway enjoy this one if you are a geographer, geologist or just interested in our planet.
Finding fault in Hollister, CaliforniaAlan Doherty
We’re going to be looking at strike-slip (or transform) (OK sideways!) faults and at one specific example in particular – the Calaveras Fault in Central California. We’re going to find this fault and then follow its trace in Hollister, California. We then go in search of the big picture. Enjoy!
The most extensive basaltic plateau in the British Isles has its own charms. Not least, the exploration and analysis of the wonderful trap landscape. Enjoy
Musings on the changing character of Britain's cultural landscape. It is a plea to the retail shed builders to look at themselves and begin to respect their potential customers. It is a warning to the potential customers of ASP-Host and Web Solutions. It is a plea to the Law Society to put the upholding of the law at the top of their agenda rather than the protection of their cartel. The presentation is amusing yet serious. If you like it, spread the word and pass it on. Thanks.
Twucwuc land is a new acronym for scamland. WULs have been around for a while. Fast-buck Britain and Buckfast Britain are the same place. An invoice reminder should be an invoice reminder and should never be post-dated. Take care on your journey.
