My Crazy Two Year Travel Binge... In PicturesPaul Brown
This document summarizes a two-year travel binge involving 30 flights to 37 airports in 42 destinations across North America and the United Arab Emirates. Some key details include taking 112 flights with JetBlue, flying over 127,290 miles which is enough to circle the globe 6 times, and visiting destinations like Dallas, San Francisco, Hilo, Dubai, Nantucket, and Washington DC. The longest flight traveled was from Washington DC to Dubai at 7,118 miles while the shortest was Boston to Nantucket at 84 miles. The captions encourage exploring adventures out there and grabbing opportunities.

Hepburn passed away from cancer at the age of 63 in Switzerland.
The Basics of Science Communication - in a formulaJacopo Pasotti
I was invited to speak about science communication at a meeting of chemists, in Lion (France). Having short time to present such a huge field, I decided to condense it in a three elements formula (there is one element, you will notice, it has been introduced for the first time). This presentation has been changed (more text) hoping that it will be self-explaining. Glad if you download and thankful if you send me a notice!
The document provides instructions for geographers to develop their visual skills through sketching landscapes. It directs them to sketch the landscape in as much detail as possible, labeling features and annotating processes observed. Geographers are then instructed to pair up, share their sketches, and compare observations in order to develop their ability to visually document geographical information.

Fallacy Bullies see themselves as independent critical thinkers who can see through propaganda, but they often use logical fallacies as weapons against others and react defensively when their own thinking is questioned. While promoting the teaching of logical fallacies, Fallacy Bullies ignore subtleties in their application and use them in an overly blunt manner.

GAME ON! Integrating Games and Simulations in the Classroom
It is estimated that by the time that today’s youth enters adulthood that they will have played an average of 10,000 hours of video games. By playing games, research suggests that they have developed abilities related to creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Come explore the history of games and simulations in the classroom and investigate ways that current games and simulations in digital and non-digital formats can be meaningfully and purposefully integrated into your learning environment.
Keynote address (Feb, 2016) to the educators in the Fort Nelson school district. We all know that we cannot teach a child without a concection... without a relationship.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
UX, ethnography and possibilities: for Libraries, Museums and ArchivesNed Potter
1) The document discusses how the University of York Library has used various user experience (UX) techniques like ethnographic observation and interviews to better understand user needs and behaviors.
2) Some changes implemented based on UX findings include installing hot water taps, changing hours, and adding blankets - aimed at improving the small details of user experience.
3) The presentation encourages other libraries, archives and museums to try incorporating UX techniques like behavioral mapping and cognitive interviews to inform design changes that enhance services for users.
This is my slide deck from my session at the North Carolina Reading Conference last week in Raleigh, NC. I do staff development to schools and districts all over the country about best practices in literacy instruction. This topic is one of my most requested.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
The document discusses designing teams and processes to adapt to changing needs. It recommends structuring teams so members can work within their competencies and across projects fluidly with clear roles and expectations. The design process should support the team and their work, and be flexible enough to change with team, organization, and project needs. An effective team culture builds an environment where members feel free to be themselves, voice opinions, and feel supported.
YAZ is an oral contraceptive pill approved to prevent pregnancy and treat moderate acne and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It contains lower doses of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol than other pills. YAZ is taken in a 24/4 regimen instead of the typical 21/7 regimen, providing 3 additional days of progestin coverage per cycle. The document discusses YAZ's indications, pharmacology, effectiveness, side effects, drug interactions, and non-contraceptive health benefits.
This document provides a bibliography of sources related to adolescence in early modern England, including books, articles, reports, and other documents published between the 17th and early 19th centuries. The bibliography contains over 50 entries consisting of works addressing topics like the education of children and youth, laws around marriage and illegitimate children, representations of childhood, and historical perspectives on adolescence and family life.
The Department Of Children And Family ServicesJulia D. Weiss
The document provides an overview of the Department of Children and Family Services in Illinois. It details the number of children in state care in Illinois, Cook County, and the United States. While the department aims to provide quality care for children, it has faced criticism from groups like the ACLU over rare abuse cases. However, the document argues this negative media coverage does not reflect the reality of the care provided to most children. It provides statistics on department funding and reviews literature on the structure and goals of the department.

The document provides an overview of the Department of Children and Family Services in Illinois. It details the number of children in state care in Illinois and the United States. It then reviews literature on the structure and responsibilities of the different departments within DCFS. While some critics claim the system is inefficient and neglectful, the document finds evidence that DCFS has implemented policies and programs to better protect children, such as mandatory background checks and caseload limits for social workers. Interviews with DCFS employees suggest that individuals, not the system itself, are responsible for any abuse or neglect cases. Improving the current system, rather than replacing it, is presented as the best way to help children.
