Googly Eyes Foundation Ah yes, eyebombing, the street art equivalent of drawing a funny mustache on Mona Lisa. So ubiquitous it’s impossible to credit anyone for inventing it… and yet for some reason it never quite stops being hilarious? Or maybe it’s just me. Update: Did you know there’s a Googly Eyes Foundation? Abraham Lincoln's letter to his son's teacher He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just,all men are not true.But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero;that for every selfish Politician, there is a dedicated leader...Teach him for every enemy there is a friend, Steer him away from envy,if you can,teach him the secret ofquiet laughter. Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick... Teach him, if you can,the wonder of books... In the school teach him it is far honourable to fail than to cheat... Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon... Teach him if you can, how to laugh when he is sad...Teach him there is no shame in tears, Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness... Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right. Let him have the courage to be impatient... let him have the patience to be brave. This is a big order,but see what you can do...
Une barrière invisible en miroirs Alyson Shotz a créée cette barrière composée de miroirs qui semblent la rendre invisible. Download 67,000 Historic Maps (in High Resolution) from the Wonderful David Rumsey Map Collection Stanford University’s been in the news lately, what with expanding its tuition waiver last year and now facing renewed scrutiny over its ultra-low admissions rate. These stories have perhaps overshadowed other Stanford news of a more academic nature: the arrival of the David Rumsey Map Center, which celebrated its grand opening yesterday and continues the festivities today and tomorrow. While these kinds of university improvements are rarely of much interest to the general public, this one highlights a collection worth giving full attention. You do not need to be a Stanford student or faculty or staff member to access the vast treasures of the Rumsey Map collection, nor do you need to visit the university or its new Center. In the case of “Twelve Perspectives on the Earth in Orbit and Rotation,” the georeferencing function returns an error message stating “this is not a map.” On the site's homepage, they highlight these areas worth exploring: Get to browsing… and georeferencing….

The History of Europe: 5,000 Years Animated in a Timelapse Map If you’re an Open Culture old timer, you know the work of EmperorTigerstar–a Youtuber who specializes (to quote myself) “in documenting the unfolding of world historical events by stitching together hundreds of maps into timelapse films”. We’ve previously featured his “map animations” of the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), World War I (1914-1918), and World War II (1939-1945) and also the History of Rome.

This Dad Creates Impressive, Heartwarming Toast Sculptures for His Daughters' Breakfast Some sculptors make art out of bronze, some make art out of marble, and some make art out of a couple slices of toast bread. Adam Perry, the artist behind Instagram sensation 2slicesoftoast, creates a different toast sculpture for his daughters every day. Because of Perry's younger daughter's severe food allergies, toast with sunflower oil spread is one of very few breakfast option. So, to keep her breakfast exciting, he started turning breakfast into a chance to make art. © 2Slicesoftoast / Instagram Perry makes these sculptures in the time it takes the kettle to boil each morning (which makes sense, since Perry's family lives just outside London).

KIT Fotografiet från den 30 mars 1896 visar en allvarlig man i pälsmössa. Han heter Carl Gustaf Teodor Malmqvist, är trädgårdsdräng och knappt 30 år fyllda. Hemort: Nacka i Stockholms län. En kort mening sammanfattar hans öde: ”För våldtäkt och dråp livstids straffarbete.” 1947 slutar Herr Malmqvist hjärta att slå, men på fotot från ”Stockholmspolisens signalementsfotografier 1869-1920” är han lika levande som någonsin. Vi ska alldeles strax förklara varför arkivet finns – och vilken värld de fotograferade egentligen representerar. ”Till hälften negerras. Vi vet inte. Intressanta personer Angelos och Carls foton är två av drygt 10 000 i samlingen med signalementfotografier. Den vi ska tacka för att bilderna finns är Karin Gustafsson på Stockholms stadsarkiv. – De blev stulna. Fotografierna är mer än ett register över misstänkta brottslingar. De yngsta prostituerade hon hittat var två 12-åringar. – Det finns bland annat prostituerade. – Det är helt underbart. Men hur ska vi förstå dem fullt ut?
Le Mainichi, l'un des plus grands quotidiens japonais, fleurit quand on le plante | DozoDomo Avec environ 5,5 millions d'exemplaires vendus par jour (!), le Mainichi est l'un des plus gros tirages de la presse japonaise. Le journal, également propriétaire de la chaîne de télévision TBS, est réputé pour son sérieux et également pour ses atouts écologiques. En effet, après l'avoir lu, vous pouvez le planter dans un pot. Pour ce faire, émiettez-le puis enfouissez-le sous une terre légèrement humide, et quelques semaines plus tard, il fleurira. Le papier qui peut être planté n'est pas une nouvelle qui mériterait la une du journal car cette formule existe depuis quelques années déjà. A l'origine du projet "Green Newspaper", il faut créditer Dentsu, la principale agence publicitaire du Japon.

DANS LA VIE LIBRE DE DROITS Ett språkutvecklande upplägg till arbetsområdet "Industriella revolutionen" Språkutvecklande undervisning handlar bland annat om att det ska råda en samstämmighet mellan målet, undervisningen och bedömningsuppgiften. En baklängesplanering är därför nödvändig. Jag börjar alltid med målen - vilka kunskaper ska eleven utveckla? Därefter funderar jag på hur jag ska bedöma de kunskaper eleven ska ha utvecklat och gör en bedömningsuppgift och utifrån mål och bedömningsuppgift planerar jag vad undervisningen ska innehålla. Detta upplägg gjorde jag i årskurs 8 i en klass på 30 elever. Målen Förmågor och kunskapskrav i historia som kommer att bedömas:Eleven har /-/ kunskaper om historiska förhållanden, skeenden och gestalter under olika tidsperioder. Konkretiseringen av ovanstående mål sker formativt och ges vid flera tillfällen under undervisningens gång, t.ex. vad ett underbyggt resonemang är och hur det kan uttryckas på olika nivåer. Undervisningen Jag redogör här för undervisningens innehåll som tog cirka 4 lektioner (90 min) Bedömningsuppgift
