Essential Skeleton App

Hi Everyone,
Essential Skeleton is a fully functional (free) app covering a 3D view of the anatomy of a human skeleton for iOS.  With a simple tap you can study the skeletal system, learn more about its systems, and even take a quiz.



Once you have downloaded your Essential Skeleton just tap the app icon to open.  An image of the human skeleton will appear.

Once the app is fully loaded (only a second or two) the opening page will appear with site navigation options.

NOTE:
To rotate the image, swipe one finger across the image on the screen.
To zoom the image, pinch two fingers across the image to reduce the image size or open two fingers across the screen to enlarge.

Let's begin:
Tap on a section of the skeleton you are interested in learning about.  Note the selected bone will turn a different color highlighting its physical structure.

At the top of the screen you will see a System's Trail.  You can also find additional information options next to selected bone or system.

Tap the speaker to hear a pronunciation, discover the spelling and/or the Latin nomenclature or tap the (i) for more information of the selection bone or system.

 

Tap Hide, Hide Others, Fade, or Fade Others to learn more about bone structure relationships. (Tap the options again to return to original image.)
Hide: The selected image disappears.

Hide Others:  Only the selected image remains.

Fade: The selected image fades.

 

Fade Others:  Only the selected image remains.

 

 

Now that you have a basic introduction, why don't you give it a try?  Or venture into some of the additional features listed below.

 

Enjoy,

Using LinkedIn and Twitter in Your Job Search

It is often said that when it comes to finding a job, it's not what you know, but who you know.  With the explosion of social networking in the past few years, the pool of people who know you, and what they know about you, is expanding everyday.  If you are not already out there on the Internet networking for a job, you should be.  Not only does it help you find jobs, but getting your name out on networking sites and blogs will help you meet people and is an opportunity to show off what you know.  Here are a two helpful networking websites and tips for using them:

LinkedIn

     LinkedIn is a social networking site that allows you to connect with people you know on a professional level.  In the past year LinkedIn's company recruiting feature has seen a huge expansion in usage.  LinkedIn's recruiting revenues are now greater than Taleo and could reach the size of Monster.com within a year (forbes.com).  You can upload job skills, work experience, education and a resume. From the information that you upload, the more than 9,000 corporations on LinkedIn can recruit you.  Some tips:

• The more compete your profile, the more likely it is that an employer will find you.  This means you should include education, experience, skills, current job title, career goal, a profile picture, and get a few recommendations if possible. 
• LinkedIn is NOT Facebook.  Everything you put on LinkedIn should be as professional as possible.  This means no check your spelling and don't use slang,
• Make sure you add an e-mail address and a blog or Twitter is you have one and they are work-friendly.  This will give a chance to show what you know.

If you don't want to wait around to be recruited, LinkedIn also makes it possible for you to search for jobs.

Twitter

     Twitter is a great forum to search for jobs, network with people in your field and stay informed.  Some tips for using Twitter as an engine for job searching:

• Make sure your profile and usernames are professional.  This should really go without saying
• Don't misrepresent yourself. 
• Use hashtags (#) so people that are interested in your field can find you.
• Follow online job boards for constant updates on new positions and general job searching tips. Try:
• Indeed (@indeed)
• Simply Hired (@simplyhired)
• Upload a tasteful profile picture so your profile looks professional and complete.  Customize your profile design to show that have savvy with navigating websites.

Good luck!

I found this site while researching sites that would benefit our children's librarians' public programs. The site is filled with beautiful images that may be simply viewed or used for a project. But there is more than just photos, in the magazine portion are articles about the subjects in the photos. No registration necessary to view the photos or articles. So, take a moment and view the content and read about the site and its community of contributors. You may decide you want to be a contributor yourself!
