10 Ways to Instantly Increase Your jQuery Performance - Nettuts
John Mann Photography
Folded in Place furthers the abstraction once offered by landscape photography by removing the place itself and replacing it with a mapped construction. This method leads the viewer to re-imagine the spectacle of the foreign lands and explore the abstraction of place offered by photography. The combination of still-life constructions and the maps’ reference to large and distant lands examines the paradox of known and unknown geographies offered by the photographic image. In this manner, Folded in Place turns the abstract representation of the map back into a physical landscape using photography to look at the map as a geography of its own.

Deducing Trip Related Information from Flickr | Semantic Web Dog Food
Uploading tourist photos is a popular activity on photo sharing platforms. These photographs and their associated metadata (tags, geo-tags, and temporal information) should be useful for mining information about the sites visited. However, user-supplied metadata are often noisy and efficient filtering methods are needed before extracting useful knowledge. We focus here on exploiting temporal information, associated with tourist sites that appear in Flickr. From automatically filtered sets of geo-tagged photos, we deduce answers to questions like "how long does it take to visit a tourist attraction?" or "what can I visit in one day in this city?" Our method is evaluated and validated by comparing the automatically obtained visit duration times to manual estimations.

Six Thinking Hats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The de Bono Hats system (also known as "Six Hats" or "Six Thinking Hats") is a thinking tool for group discussion and individual thinking. Combined with the idea of parallel thinking which is associated with it, it provides a means for groups to think together more effectively, and a means to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way. The method is attributed to Dr. Edward de Bono and is the subject of his book, Six Thinking Hats.
Visual Representation of Tabular Information - How to Fix the Uncommunicative Table | FlowingData
explication pour créer des tableaux en formes circulaires. Bonne explication, mauvais examplesThe method presented here provides an alternative to mitigate the problems outlined above. It is a visual approach that uses Circos[http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/circos] to represent rows and columns in a circular fashion, and ribbons to represent cell values. Does it solve every table's problems? No. It does provide, however, a way to capture the essence of the table and present it quantitatively and attractively.

Turning the read-only Web of Data into a read-write Web of Data on Vimeo
We introduce pushback, a method that enables writing changes to non-RDF sources such as flickr, Twitter, Amazon, etc. from an RDF document.
The video explains our motivation, the architecture and the interaction between the components as well as RDForms. A demo (for Jira, a professional issue tracker system) is included in this video, where we show how to create, deploy and use an RDForm.
See esw.w3.org/topic/PushBackDataToLegacySources for further information.
Action Method Online
There are too many ideas in the world, and not enough action. Without organization and productivity, brilliant ideas never happen.
Action Method Online is a radically different approach to productivity, designed to simplify project management and life.
All of life can be divided into "projects" - the categories we use in our minds to separate and make sense of what we need to accomplish (e.g. "the party I'm planning," "client X," "event Y," "finances"). The Action Method helps you manage your projects starting with the most basic elements - always with an emphasis on action.
SocialAction
Social network analysis (SNA) has emerged as a powerful method for understanding the importance of relationships in networks. However, interactive exploration of networks is currently challenging because: (1) it is difficult to find patterns and comprehend the structure of networks with many nodes and links, and (2) current systems are often a medley of statistical methods and overwhelming visual output which leaves many analysts uncertain about how to explore in an orderly manner.

click opera - Aki Sasamoto, judgmental hopper
Aki says something very interesting in an interview, something about the relationship between being an expatriate and being judgmental. (Aki wants to encourage judgmentalism.) "More and more expatriates," she explains, "tend to be what I call Hoppers. Those who are aware of crossing borders of any kind seem to be more judgmental." But if they're inwardly judgmental, these expats master an outward conformity, a kind of Zelig-like quality: "They are also experts in blurring differences, to mask the consequences of their judgments. As a survival technique, Hoppers fool themselves to ignore gaps, or believe in mingling as the most natural, or even embrace characteristics, while positioning themselves out of such horizontal references... Whatever the resulting attitude is, border crossers face the choice of how to locate themselves in relation to sets of plural realities and values. This is the consequence of hopping-around. Being an expatriate is not the only method of hopping-around. But it seems to be an easy category in these days. This is what I mean by Hoppers."
Joseph Wilk » Latent Semantic Analysis in Python
Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is a mathematical method that tries to bring out latent relationships within a collection of documents. Rather than looking at each document isolated from the others it looks at all the documents as a whole and the terms within them to identify relationships.
