Smile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

  • Although many different types of smiles have been identified and studied, researchers have devoted particular attention to an anatomical distinction first recognized by French physician Guillaume Duchenne. While conducting research on the physiology of facial expressions in the mid-nineteenth century, Duchenne identified two distinct types of smiles. A Duchenne smile involves contraction of both the zygomatic major muscle (which raises the corners of the mouth) and the orbicularis oculi muscle (which raises the cheeks and forms crow's feet around the eyes). A non-Duchenne smile involves only the zygomatic major muscle.[5] Many researchers believe that Duchenne smiles indicate genuine spontaneous emotions since most people cannot voluntarily contract the outer portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle.

    A friend has recommended the use of this add-on in Firefox in order to document URLs and other online research. I will install it on my systems, use it for a bit, and get back to the rest of you according to how successful I think it is. BTW, this is a tool that would only be needed for those doing research that needs to be documented in this (and other/later) courses (so probably only relevant to students in the 060 course, for now).

Why Writer's Block is Your Secret Weapon | Copyblogger - 0 views

  • When you work it right, writer’s block is your secret weapon to becoming a better and more resilient writer. And when your ability to write is what pays the bills, that’s gold.
  • face the fear that any act of writing brings.
  • use writer’s block as a signal to stop and reflect on what you fear and why, because if you don’t acknowledge the fear, you’ll never be able to face it. All it takes to move through fear is facing it, feeling it. Saying to yourself, “Okay, this is scary. But it still needs to be done.”

  • Take a blank sheet of paper and write down a one-line summary of what you think you’re supposed to be writing.
  • Write down all the ideas and opinions about that topic
  • put that page aside because that’s not the one that’s going to turn your block into a weapon. (In fact, it’s the one that will keep you stuck.)
  • Get another blank sheet of paper. Again, write down what you think you should be writing in the center of the page.
  • Dig deep into what you have to say, what you think, and what your opinion is, stripped away from all of those from the first sheet. Put it all out on the page, and take more pages if you need to. Remember, there is no one to judge you and your task is to write without any reference to the ideas or opinions from that first sheet, but write only from within you.
  • Each time you unblock yourself by writing despite your fears, it builds confidence. You realize, “Hey, I’ve got a lot to say! And I’ve got a unique position!”
  • You teach yourself that even though your job requires you to write to and for other people, you’re really doing it for yourself
  • To be a resilient and fierce writer, you need to write despite your fears. And you need signals, such as writer’s block, to help uncover your fears so you can face them.

    For those of you who find the writing for this class too much to handle: Read this; read it several times; try to follow it's advice.
