0.0 stars

The Codice Maya de Mexico has one primary story, it records the complex movements of the planet Venus across its 4 cycles. The 10-pages codex records 65 complete Venus Cycles, which takes a total of 104 years.

The Codice Maya of Mexico was written in 1,110 CE by a single Mayan scribe. It is the oldest book in all the Americas. This video will translate this 900 year old Maya Codex, page-by-page.

The book was found in the 1960s by looters, and it's taken more than 50 years to analyze and authenticate this book. But this Mexican book is 100% real.

Rating
0.0 stars

Effective Design Critique Strategies Across Disciplines is the first of its kind: a collection of immersive critiquing strategies and related scholarship developed by a diverse and international group of authors. The shared methods include those that utilize online learning environments, facilitate active learning, and engage design critique experiences via play. They range from anecdotal accounts of trying new things in unusual learning environments to theory-based approaches. The featured scholarship presents assessments and valuable discourse concerning the effectiveness of various critique strategies. The collection of strategies and research contribute to addressing the distinct gap in research- and practice-based resources that are available to design and project-based educators.

Introduction to methods and problems in research and applications where quantitative data is analyzed to reconstruct possible pathways of development of behaviors and diseases. Special attention given to social inequalities, changes over the life course, heterogeneous pathways, and controversies with implications for policy and practice. Case studies and course projects are shaped to accommodate students with interests in fields related to health, gerontology, education, psychology, sociology, and public policy. Students are assumed to have a statistical background, but the course emphasizes the ability to frame the questions in order to collaborate well with statistical specialists; the goal is methodological "literacy" not technical expertise.

The Native Conquest of the Aztecs: How Indigenous, not the Spanish, defeated Mexico-Tenochtitlan
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

The Spanish were savage and barbaric in Mexico… And the Conquest of the Mexica was extremely bloody. But it’s often told as ONLY the Spanish Vs. the Aztecs. And that’s not true… It’s not even close. The so called, “Conquest” of Mexico-Tenochtitlan was really a NATIVE REVOLT. It was ancient indigenous Mexicans against other Native Mexicans. Clearly… the Spanish were the main manipulators.

But it was Native Mexicans who organized, fought and overthrew: Mexico-Tenochtitlan. So much so…. That Native Mexicans accounted for 99% of all people who fought or assisted in the overthrow of the Aztecs, of Mexico-Tenochtitlan in 1521.

And… Who were the Indigenous Mexican allies of the Spanish? They were the Tabascans, the Cempoalans, Texcocans, the Totonacs, Huezotzingos, Chalcas, Quauhquecholtecas, the Zapotec, Mixtec, the Yope, the Xochilmcos, the Tlaxcalans, the Tarascans……And many….. Many….. more. And what did Native Allies provide a handful of Spanish….. Food….. Translation… Advice… Medical Assistance… Labor, especially porters… Housing… Clothing… Guides… Spies.. Messengers….Moral Support…Sex….. And …. Warriors to fight the Aztec and their allies. And much, much, more.

Now… this brief film isn’t a history of the so-called Spanish Conquest….. This is a history of the Native Revolt against Mexico-Tenochtitlan …… it’s a Native Revolution… As Cortes and about 500 Spaniards marched to Mexico-Tenochtitlan from the East… (their maximum number perhaps doubled). He was joined by hundreds of thousands of the largest and fiercest army ever assembled in Mesoamerica.
