Tokenization is sort of a convoluted word, but basically it is a technology that transforms your credit card information into a new number that is a lot less useful for frauders, since it can be easily deactivated and replaced with another number

Subject: [lita-l] International Librarianship Blog
Hello Fellow Librarians,
I am a librarian with 14+ years of experience in international schools and colleges. My goal, now that I have returned home, is to encourage and assist other librarians to travel. If you are interested in the subject of international librarianship and/or have experiences and comments to share, please my webpage (http://www.sarahpgibson.com) and blog: The Traveling Librarian (http://sarahpgibson.wordpress.com).
Safe travels, Sarah P. Gibson
I just received the glass yesterday. After fully charge the glass and turn it on, it displays the “Glass” logo then keeps on “main stopped unexpectedly” -> “voice stopped unexpectedly” -> “camera stopped unexpectedly”. What’s wrong with it? The seller told me it is a common problem. (boot looop?) After a hard-reset, it still does not function.
call 1-800-Glass-XE for support

Diane Ravitch blog on Anthony Cody’s book about his efforts to educate Bill Gates. The book is called “The Educator and the Oligarch: A Teacher Challenges Bill Gates.”
Anthony Cody is a teacher. For Cody, teaching is not just a job. It is his profession. It is his way of life. It is the place where his brain, his life experience, and his heart are joined.
With his blog as his platform, he trained his sights on the Gates Foundation. While others feared to criticize the richest foundation in the United States, Cody regularly devoted blogs to questioning its ideas and programs. He questioned its focus on standardized testing. He questioned its belief that teachers should be judged by the test scores of their students. He questioned its support for organizations that are anti-union and anti-teacher. He questioned its decision to create new organizations of young teachers to act as a fifth column within teachers’ unions, ready to testify in legislative hearings against the interests of teachers and unions.

The Globally Connected Educator- Beyond Plugging In Towards Global Pedagogy from Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano
My note: Can “3rd person” of Facebook posts help our self image? Or hurt it?
David Sarwer is a psychologist and clinical director at the Center for Weight and Eating Disorders at the University of Pennsylvania. The goal, he says, is to remove “negative and pejorative terms” from the patient’s self-talk. The underlying notion is that it’s not enough for a patient to lose physical weight — or gain it, as some women need to — if she doesn’t also change the way her body looks in her mind’s eye.
Branch Coslett, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Pennsylvania. It’s clear that we all have an internal representation of our own bodies, Coslett says. imagining a movement over and over can have the same effect on our brains as practicing it physically — as well as lead to similar improvements in performance.
Research published this year suggests that talking to yourself and using the word “I” could stress you out instead of bringing on waves of self-love and acceptance. Psychologist Ethan Kross of the University of Michigan led the work, studying the pronouns people use when they talk to themselves silently, inside their minds. “What we find,” Kross says, “is that a subtle linguistic shift — shifting from ‘I’ to your own name — can have really powerful self-regulatory effects.”
Considering the research of David Sarwer, Branch Coslett, and Ethan Kross, it will be interesting to explore how FB posts affect us and mold our self image or mental self. FB posts are by default 3rd person. Most of us use nevertheless “I,” but each of us has moments when we used FB default and narrated about ourselves from 3rd person.
