Flow map

cover maps as an intellectual technology that has changed the way people think. The progression of maps to where they are today can be illustrated and is closely paralleled by childhood cognitive development. Maps, like a child’s development, went from a “egocentric, purely sensory perception of the world to… [a] abstract and objective analysis of experience.” It also caused society to go from a purely sensory observation of the world to a more abstract and objective view of life. The map didn’t…

store may not expand in areas that can’t afford the food. 2. Maps display information about the surface and the areas of the world that we live in. Geography is very dependent on the use of maps. They are also used as communication, and storing reference material. It can help us to find shorter, and easier ways, and they can give you information about the world. 3. In the medical field a way that a map can be used is using a map of the human body. This can also show us the short cuts…

Class #1: Geo-Literacy Please 1). The photos of "Map foolery" and the "True Size of Africa" surprised me, since I had never considered that my perception of the continents size could be so skewed. It brings up the question of why maps continue to be presented in the way they are. When presented with this new knowledge we began to get a greater understanding of the world around us and how individuals have to be critical of the information they take in. It's important to begin to understand the…

Maps serve as powerful objects that can change the way viewers think or perceive the world. When maps contain lies, people can be led into a false sense of belief. A New Map of Africa from the Latest Authorities, was created by cartographer John Cary- a former apprentice of William Palmer- reinforces this idea. The map was created in 1805, at the height of European colonization and exploration of Africa. Most explorers were not familiar with Africa’s landscape while undertaking these long…

I am currently a battalion level S-2 intelligence professional serving within a stryker brigade combat team. The current imagery needs of Soldiers at the tactical level are not being met with the current systems used by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). We have been working very closely with Digital globe and their EVWHS service and have found that their system is superior in every way to the NGA systems. The problem with other existing systems for obtaining imagery are…

Seeing Isn’t Believing Maps and literature are tied more closely than most people believe. A book guides a reader through a story, word by word, showing them the development of the authors work. Too often, maps are over looked for their seeming simplicity. People fail to see the research and story the cartographer has created, and in turn miss every step of the cartographer’s choice to exclude and include attributes and other such map features from the final projection. Every map tells a story,…

Scorecard: 1. The Financial Perspective: How do we look to shareholders? Are we making money? The focus of financial perspective is financial performance measured by financial accounts. Key performance indicators are return on capital employed, cash flow, project profitability, profit forecast reliability, and sales backing. Revenue and productivity are valuable indicators of undertaken projects, as well as their economic results. The financial goal should be aligned with the company’s…

I have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest. I signed up after being egged on by my two sisters who both enjoyed collecting pins at the time. I've lost track of my younger sister's activity-being a social butterfly she's most likely moved on to bigger and better things, but my older sister persisted-especially after the arrival of her first child. I pinned at first with enthusiasm, but the pressure to complete pins I'd added to my boards began to haunt me, and a few feeble recipe attempts…

chat with Alana who was running the practice. We talked about how hard it was for both student and teacher to count the full 108 rounds of the practice session. Since you were having to keep count of the rounds, this did not allow you to enter the flow state of mind. Instead, you had to constantly work to remember where you were in the count. Is There an App for this? The discussion naturally led to the idea of creating an app specifically designed for the Sun salutations, one that would keep…
