      The RSS feed part of this could be particularly useful for libraries that want to maintain an external list of "new books" or whatever.

      Does this mean that you can set a preference to fill local holds first? I don't really understand these checkin modifiers...

    This is an awesome tool I saw at the Evergreen conference. I used it on the Merlin git repo which was cool to see but since everything is in a flat directory structure and it's mostly Jessica (and a little bit me) committing it's not nearly as cool as some of the videos from other projects.

(2) Mind Hacks: Does bouncing your leg improve cognition? - Quora - 2 views

cognition hacks

shared by Justin Hopkins on 15 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • Bouncing your leg rhythmically improves cognition if it keeps you focused on your material instead of wishing you could be elsewhere, moving in another way, and therefore distracting you from your text. Your focus on your text and processing that text contribute to improved cognition. Whatever helps -- do it.
  • If you want to improve your cognition, start jumping rope. Aim to improve the number of times you skip rope without tripping the rope -- and improve by at least 1 count every day. Keep a chart. You will see that as your jumprope ability increases, your cognitive ability will also increase. I don't know if it is a 1:1 correlation, or even a causation. I do know there is some correlation because I have seen it in every one of my students.
  • "So why do kids with ADHD fidget and wiggle and run and jump and bounce and scream and play so much? Kids with ADHD are understimulated, which means that their thresholds are so high, that the stimuli in their environment does not cause them to release enough neurotransmitters to fit into all the necessary receptor sites. Messages don't pass from one neuron to another as easily as they do for those of us without ADHD. Their thresholds are high. Kids with ADHD fidget and squirm in order to provide extra stimulation, which translates into more keys fitting into more locks, and they can pass messages efficiently. Ever studied something intensely and then noticed that your leg was bouncing? Same thing. You were bouncing your leg to stimulate yourself and send a sufficient number of neurotransmitters into the synapse. When kids have to stimulate themselves, it can be hard on everyone around them, since this translates into bouncing off the walls."

    This is pretty remarkable. We've probably all noticed folks who bounce their leg when they're thinking hard about something. I've noticed that lately - having a lot to think about with Evergreen - that I've worked up quite a gum chewing habit. I often stop working to do pushups or whatnot as well. It really does help. Anyway, very cool read.

    Just used this today to make a diagram of our Evergreen system. It was exactly what I was looking for and it worked flawlessly.
