Rough magazine spread for a fictional magazine called Note. The brief was wide open, my goal is to create spreads and an identity for a music magazine. The content will be more indie; with the absence of top 40 bands, but I want it to be as accessible as main stream magazines (such as Rolling Stone, Revolver, Billboard etc.), with the same kind of budget.
Still needs fine tuning but I'm curious to hear opinions so far.
I am a sucker for handwritten letters and notes. I love sending handwritten letters, mainly because I love imagining the other person's reaction.
This is a note that was given to me today and frankly, I think it's very kind and sweet. I'm a sucker for kind and sweet, too.
(Also, bonus points for good penmanship!)
A series roughly based on the movie "Click". Each button on the remote was a topic in the 6-week series.
Constructivist theory
Formalization of the theory of constructivism is generally attributed to Jean Piaget, who articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. He suggested that through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences. When individuals assimilate, they incorporate the new experience into an already existing framework without changing that framework. This may occur when individuals' experiences are aligned with their internal representations of the world, but may also occur as a failure to change a faulty understanding; for example, they may not notice events, may misunderstand input from others, or may decide that an event is a fluke and is therefore unimportant as information about the world. In contrast, when individuals' experiences contradict their internal representations, they may change their perceptions of the experiences to fit their internal representations. According to the theory, accommodation is the process of reframing one's mental representation of the external world to fit new experiences. Accommodation can be understood as the mechanism by which failure leads to learning: when we act on the expectation that the world operates in one way and it violates our expectations, we often fail, but by accommodating this new experience and reframing our model of the way the world works, we learn from the experience of failure, or others' failure.
It is important to note that constructivism itself does not suggest one particular pedagogy. In fact, constructivism describes how learning should happen, regardless of whether learners are using their experiences to understand a lecture or attempting to design a model airplane. In both cases, the theory of constructivism suggests that learners construct knowledge. Constructivism as a description of human cognition is often associated with pedagogic approaches that promote learning by doing.

Taken the following morning, with me on a ladder + flash because the wind was blowing the plant to and fro. The very deep depth of field with phone lenses really helped getting this nymph in focus.

the hills are yellow with mustard grass. it's a reassuring sign that spring has arrived. it's a late start this year and the plants are shorter than usual. but given the drought it's actually amazing we get bloom at all. these plants are quite weedy in appearance, not something you want in your garden. but they do make spectacular stands in the wild with their abundant flowers. these flowers are quite delicate and ephemeral. a light breezy can send petals falling like a million tiny yellow sticky notes. kinda reminds me all those 'important' things we put down on sticky notes, in the end, they seldom matter

Big Meadows Trailhead allows for wonderful opportunities to explore the beautiful Jennie Lakes Wilderness.
Finally cleared of dozens of downed trees, this trail is in the best shape it’s been in years. It’s about 4.5-5 up and down miles from Weaver Lake heading east to the junction with the JO Pass Trail. The trail remains relatively flat until you descend into the valley where you will cross several streams (a great water source late in the Summer). After the streams you begin an ascent back up towards the JO Pass Trail junction with some spectacular views north, south and west into the JLW.
Leaving the lake, you hike through thick White and Red Fir forests, with Lodgepole Pines and some Mountain Pines as well. Once you start descending into the valley, there are some rock and water bar issues, with quite a few loose rocks and some washout on sections of the trail before and after the streams. But in general the trail is in good condition and one can now easily do the whole loop from Weaver to Jennie and back out. There are only 4 very old trees remaining down along the trail (all near the junction with JO Pass Trail), but all are easily bypassed with good user trails around them.
*NOTES: “How long will it take?! Is it a hard hike?!” Difficulty and time required depends on you, the hiker, and your condition. An experienced, strong hiker will cover 3-4 miles (or more!) an hour carrying a full pack, without stopping. Someone who doesn’t hike much (or walk much, for that matter) will cover 1-2 miles (or less!) an hour, without a big pack, with frequent stops. Know your abilities! Always carry water, always check weather conditions, always tell people where you are going, and always familiarize yourself with the area (real maps recommended, not GPS). Pay attention to your surroundings, and enjoy your wilderness!
*LEAVE NO TRACE: never leave trash or toilet paper behind! Pack it all in, pack it all out.
