 | The black pump is an essential piece every woman, self-proclaimed fashionista or not, should have in her wardrobe. This classic is the go to shoe for added, under-stated glam for any, and every outfit. From it's equally classic counter-part, the little black dress, to the perfect pair of jeans and a crisp white blouse, the black leather pump is a must-have. If you're looking for a fresh new pair, look no further than the Midori Pump by Modern Vintage. This black leather pump is designed with an almond shaped toe and hidden platform. The scene-stealer, though, is the studded heel. At a towering four inches, the sturdy, yet slender stiletto boasts tiny gold studs that add just a hint of gilded, though still under-stated, glam! Where to Buy - ShoeBox Price - $110.00 Who - Melimeli was the first to add the Midori Pump by Modern Vintage to the Hive. |

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in 34 languages
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) in 34 languages: "Last June, we introduced the ability to upload documents into Google Docs using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR analyzes images and PDF files, typically produced by a scanner (or the camera of a mobile phone), extracts text and some formatting and allows you to edit the document in Google Docs.
We’ve gotten a lot of feedback on this feature, and one of the biggest requests was to add support for additional languages. Today, we’re happy to announce that we’ve added support for 29 additional character sets, including those used in most European languages, Russian, Chinese Simplified and some other Asian languages. See the upload page for the full list.
How does it work? When uploading your images and PDF files using Google Docs, tell us what language your documents are in:
We’ll keep adding languages and at at the same time will continue to improve speed and accuracy for the existing ones. In the meantime, we hope you take advantage of this new way to import your data into Google Docs.

Hit upload, and we’ll use this information to search for the right characters in your file. As usual, you will get best results with sharp, high-resolution images or PDF files. This update will also result in an improvement in OCR quality for languages that we’ve supported previously (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish). We’ve also made improvements to the way we import formatting from your documents, and are now doing a better job in preserving font and alignment information.
We’ll keep adding languages and at at the same time will continue to improve speed and accuracy for the existing ones. In the meantime, we hope you take advantage of this new way to import your data into Google Docs.

Back to the Drops - Explore #1! :) - 26 Feb 2011 - Flickr: "
Ok enough of a break from drops.. Time to start covering the kitchen in food colouring again!
346 photo's taken tonight and thanks to the magic of a 'Time Machine' almost all of them have something good in them.
This is the first.
Milk + Glycerin + Red food dye into plain water. Canon 580 EXII Flash behind the drop with a light blue gel firing into frosted perspex. 430 EX II flash in front firing naked at the front of the splash to light up the milk.
Shots triggered with a Time Machine.

Guest Post: Google Docs for Classroom Instruction
Guest Post: Google Docs for Classroom Instruction: "
In 1983, I began building applications to support multi-user collaboration over the Internet. When I began using the World Wide Web in 1993 I vowed never to write a native application program again and said 'every desktop computer program going forward should simply run in a Web browser.' Since the main reason to prepare a document was for others to view, I predicted that everyone would be using browser-based word processors and spreadsheet programs by the year 2000. I am still waiting for my 'everyone goes to work in a flying car' prediction to come true also...
In January 2011, four of us were developing an entirely new course for MIT students, an intensive lab-based SQL programming and Android development class. All of us are proficient Web developers accustomed to authoring pages in standard text editors and publishing them on our own servers, but it turned out to be easier and more effective to use Google Docs to collaboratively develop course materials. Google Docs was more effective because simultaneous updates could proceed in different areas of a document and we weren't slowed down by having to do explicit check-ins with a standard version control system (or circulate drafts with names such as 'DayOneProblems-final-version-by-philg-really-really-final'). Also, the 'insert a comment' feature of Google Docs proved useful, e.g., when I wasn't sure if an example program was correct and wanted to ask a collaborator to check, but without leaving crud in the main body of the document.
We created two Google Docs folders the night before class: lessons, editable by us and view-only for students; workspace, editable by everyone. Into the 'lessons' folder we moved the first day's assignment. In the 'workspace' folder we created a 'Day 1 Workspace' document intended for students to cut and paste code into. As each student walked into the classroom, we asked him or her to email a teacher from his or her Google Account (most students already had Gmail and some experience with Google Docs) and the teacher would share both folders with the new student, immediately enabling access to all lessons.
As the course materials had never been used before, they contained some errors and many sections that lacked sufficient hints or explanations. When we noticed these deficiencies, e.g., when a student asked a question, we would edit the problem set from a teacher's laptop and all students would immediately see the change on the projector and/or on their own screens.
Google Docs enabled us to distribute solutions incrementally. The first morning we created a 'Day 1 Solutions (January 2011)' document and dragged it into the lessons (view-only for students) folder. As the day progressed, when 90 percent of the students were done with a problem, we would add the solution to the end of this document (by copying from another Google Doc, of course) so that students would have it in front of them and be prepared for the discussion.
The shared Google Docs workspace documents enabled us to have students paste their work into shared documents that could be used for projection and discussion and also for members of the class to try out each other's SQL queries.
To gather feedback at the end of the course, we simply created a feedback document and put it into the workspace folder, then used the 'email editors/viewers' feature (from the Share menu) to ask students to add their thoughts, including whether they liked Google Docs ('great for sharing solutions'; 'very effective'; 'Generally yes, I did get a little confused with all the browser tabs I had open'; 'very efficient and comfortable'; 'green too').
We were technical people teaching a technical course, but everything that we did with Google Docs would have been easy for a person without any programming or HTML authoring background. Google Docs was an important asset for our course and significantly enhanced the in-classroom experience.

Guest Post: Philip Greenspun is a pioneer in developing online communities and an educator who has taught electrical engineering and computer science courses at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1987. Today he explains how he used Google Docs to develop and distribute curricular materials and to support in-classroom discussion of student solutions.
