I have used XMind for over an year to create flow diagrams, charts, mind maps, hierarchies, project timelines etc. XMind is a great visualization tool that allows you to create beautiful mind maps. If you need a tool to organize your ideas and visualize them in a structured way, then XMind is a wonderful option. Its free version is great for individual use, even though it has limited features available. It was via the Setapp subscription that I first found it but it is now also in the Apple App Store.Ĭomentarios: I loved using XMind to create mind maps due to its simplicity, clean UI and export functionality. If anything, my main gripe would be that it's not as well known as some other software so it took me a while to find it. I use enough of the Setapp utilities and apps that Xmind is basically free for me and that's just another big plus.

What if it everyone knew/did/felt this? 'What if?' is designed to stimulate the thinking processes based on the Why, What, How of the article/book/presentation. The WHY is all about "Why should people read/know/care about this?", then WHAT is it that I want them to know/do/feel, and HOW do they do this, then finally the IF? is all about What if? What if I (the reader) do this and it works or doesn't work? What if the next step is. I typically use the 4MAT model (as originally developed by Bernice McCarthy in 1980) which creates a 4 way mind-map, starting with WHY in the top right quadrant then WHAT in the lower right, HOW in the lower left and continuing clockwise to create a branch about IF? in the top left quadrant.

Up on the highway, there are two filling stations, one of which doubles as a meagrely supplied grocery store, while the other does extra duty as a café-Hartman’s Café, where Mrs. No passenger trains do-only an occasional freight. The depot itself, with its peeling sulphur-colored paint, is equally melancholy the Chief, the Super-Chief, the El Capitan go by every day, but these celebrated expresses never pause there. But the majority of Holcomb’s homes are one-story frame affairs, with front porches.ĭown by the depot, the postmistress, a gaunt woman who wears a rawhide jacket and denims and cowboy boots, presides over a falling-apart post office. ![]() It is one of the town’s two “apartment houses,” the second being a ramshackle mansion known, because a good part of the local school’s faculty lives there, as the Teacherage. Nearby is another building with an irrelevant sign, this one in flaking gold on a dirty window-“ holcomb bank.” The bank failed in 1933, and its former counting rooms have been converted into apartments. At one end of the town stands a stark old stucco structure, the roof of which supports an electric sign-“ dance”-but the dancing has ceased and the advertisement has been dark for several years. After rain, or when snowfalls thaw, the streets, unnamed, unshaded, unpaved, turn from the thickest dust into the direst mud. Not that there is much to see-simply an aimless congregation of buildings divided in the center by the main-line tracks of the Santa Fe Railway, a haphazard hamlet bounded on the south by a brown stretch of the Arkansas (pronounced “Ar-kan-sas”) River, on the north by a highway, Route 50, and on the east and west by prairie lands and wheat fields. Holcomb, too, can be seen from great distances. The land is flat, and the views are awesomely extensive horses, herds of cattle, a white cluster of grain elevators rising as gracefully as Greek temples are visible long before a traveller reaches them. The local accent is barbed with a prairie twang, a ranch-hand nasalness, and the men, many of them, wear narrow frontier trousers, Stetsons, and high-heeled boots with pointed toes. ![]() The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call “out there.” Some seventy miles east of the Colorado border, the countryside, with its hard blue skies and desert-clear air, has an atmosphere that is rather more Far West than Middle West.

Were you sort of the moderating force bringing four-minute pop songs to the band? He said that if he were left to his own devices, every song would end up being 10 minutes long. I paged through my old copy of Stuart Berman’s oral history of Broken Social Scene, and I saw a quote from Kevin Drew where he said that during Feel Good Lost you had taught him how to end songs. The entire time, we were like, “Well, this isn’t supposed to be working but it’s working.” We had something that didn’t sound exactly like anything else I could think of off the top of my head. Right off the bat, Kevin had some really interesting and experimental ideas on how to make some drum loops. Any sampling that was done on the record was all done through this pedal that was made in Texas called a Boomerang Pedal.

The band’s family tree extends out like a labyrinth with limbs holding acts like Feist, Stars, Metric, Apostle of Hustle, Do Make Say Think, and so many more. Often affectionately dubbed as a “mothership,” Broken Social Scene is the home base for a countless number of Toronto musicians. And this month, the band is back with another offering: the first of two EPs out this year called Let’s Try The After Vol. Seven years later, the band released Hug of Thunder, cementing a five-album streak as solid as any of their peers. The LP found the collective for the first time, spending time away from Toronto, mostly tracking the effort in Chicago with Tortoise’s John McEntire. While it was a rough period for the band compared to their honeymoon genesis, it featured some of the most defining tracks of their catalog like “7/4 (Shoreline),” “Superconnected” and “Major Label Debut.”įollowing solo albums under the Broken Social Scene Presents moniker and several “last shows ever” as a touring apparatus, the band returned with the excellent 2010 Forgiveness Rock Record. After the rise, Broken Social Scene returned with their self-titled LP in 2005. It was Broken Social Scene’s breakthrough, not just highlighting the group’s transition from basement project to full-fledged music collective with an expanding and constantly evolving roster, but also winning Canada’s Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year. While mostly instrumental, the LP foreshadowed the wildly collaborative spirit the band would embody with their masterwork, 2002’s You Forgot It In People. The experimental and lovely album featured their friends, like singer Leslie Feist, drummer Justin Speroff, and multi-instrumentalist Charles Spearin, who mixed the effort. ![]() Formed by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning in 1999, the two wrote and recorded the band’s post-rock inspired debut in Drew’s basement.

In practice there is no problem in having even a couple of dozen packages active. There is no limit to the number of packages you can have installed on your computer (apart from disk space!), but there is a configurable limit to the number that can be used inside any one LaTeX document at the same time, although it depends on how big each package is. You can download updates to packages you already have (both the ones that were installed along with your version of LaTeX as well as ones you added).
