They used this data not only to track existing popularity, but to track growth of popularity based on the World Series face-off of the Giants and the Royals. They figured out this map based on Facebook likes that each franchise gained and already had. It's really interesting and I especially love the divide in Illinois between the Cardinals and the Cubs because I come from Quincy, IL, which is a Cardinals region and then traveled along the line of divide into Champaign, which seems to be heavily Cubs territory. (Go Cardinals!!)]]> 2018-01-26 01:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/224915681 lissy007 https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225253948 This is a map of Walt Disney World. It has a set of colorful graphics depicting the attractions in the park and labels for each one. I think it makes Disney World look right out a storybook, which is probably the magical branding they're looking for. ]]> 2018-01-27 00:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225253948 https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225482414 This map indicates the location of the Assyrian people across the world. After having their land taken over, some Assyrians have immigrated out of what has become of their native country to different parts of the world to start new lives safe from genocide. What the map fails to indicate is what qualifies someone to be Assyrian; are individuals with very small Assyrian lineage included in these calculations? In addition, using ranges instead of real numbers makes it difficult to tell just how much of the population is in a certain location, for example, both America, Iraq, and Syria indicate a population of over 500,000 individuals, but which country contains the most? This map gives a glimpse of the countries Assyrians reside in, but does not give any further information. Which American cities contain the densest population? What year and how was the data collected? Who conducted the survey? Because of the popularity, or lack of, of the topic, it is impossible to find a more detailed map on the subject.]]> 2018-01-29 04:27:18 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225482414 https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225858522 This is a London Tube map that maps the different underground train services that run across London. The different colours represent the different lines and the grey and white rings in the background represents the  'zones' you are travelling through.

Africa is the largest continent on earth. Africa can fit about three United States in terms of land mass. I am studying Africa and its economics and demographics in one of my Economics classes. Africa has many interesting countries that most people have never heard of . For example, Ouagadougou is the capital of an African country Burkina Faso. I am certain that most of you guys have never heard of the place. I am looking forward to learning more about Africa and its countries.]]> 2018-01-29 22:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225882207 cpark56 https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225893620 This is a Seoul subway map. Seoul is the capital city of Korea. Seoul is one of the most densely populated cities over the world. Due to highly dense population, there is almost no space between people on rush hour. This metro map represents different lines in different color. From West to East, all the stops are organized within Han River (sky blue color).

to as the Gold Coast. This is because a lot of gold was discovered there during the British colonization. I choose to use this map because Ghana is the country I was born a raised it. I visited this winter break and had an amazing time reconnecting to families and old friends from school. I hope to one day go back and live there.

On the fake map, only chicago showed up as voting democratic and people were complaining about how the election in our state was not fair to end up favoring Hilary Clinton though only one county was blue. But this is the real map that shows there are multiple blue counties (most of them containing public colleges). ]]> 2018-01-30 03:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225927089 https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/225928860 This is an image of a map of the City of Chicago's neighborhoods. This reflects the amount of homicides in each neighborhood per 100,000 residents. The areas where there are darker shades of red are the areas with the most homicides as of December 2016. In the neighborhoods where the homicide rates are higher, there are also higher rates of unemployment and are the home of many minorities. I found this interesting and I hope you all with too.

This map is of Pangea the supercontinent that existed hundred of million of years ago, but it it is shown with the current (2014) international borders. The closeness of all of these places on the map helps to put the size dynamics between otherwise distant places into view, although since the image is 2D there could be inaccuracies in sizing.

Keywords like "isis slayers", "cocktail ice" all induce negative connotations, thus influencing the reader's impression of Donald Trump. I am interested to see whether these keywords are accurate portrayals or deemed with too much bias amongst the general population.

It is an home decor item that I bought from Hobby Lobby. This is an accurate and very detailed map of the world with the chosen quote written on it.

Stylistically, it reminds me of an amusement park map, which is probably deliberate move designed to push the "Riot Fest And Carnival" theme the creators had going. However, despite the playful design, the map also has information that would be vital to concert goers, such as stage locations, surrounding cross streets, and public transportation stops.]]> 2018-01-30 14:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/226093902 kmv_forever13 https://padlet.com/heharris/kc0fmin2o4ag/wish/226105669 If you look at this map you can see there is a lot of routing detail in it. It has many. colors that are representative of different routes/ ways on the Map.  It helps to highlight a different aspect of this map and what you can search for.

It shows the subway in addition of bus and railroad connections. The colors represent different lines and routes when taking the subway.
