Infographics and Mind Maps 2

I have explored the free version of the Wondershare Edraw MindMaster software.  This software looked really good for my skill level and purposes.  I want to create info-graphics, charts, tables, mind maps, flow charts, knowledge representations, and visual-textual representations of concepts, processes, ideas, tasks, etc.  This software can export and import in many ways.  

The "Lifetime Permanent Pro" package offer (ending 3/30/2021) was very appealing to me because in included three Wondershare software products:  MindMaster, EdrawMax, and EdrawInfo software.  I purchased this software combination package on 3/19/2021 for $344.00.  

There are many creative and informative examples of Mind Maps on the Internet.  There are both online and offline software available, for free or fee, for creating Mind Maps.  I have used free online versions of FreeMind and UVE from Tufts University.  


Here are my notes on using Mind Maps.  





This is a .png file of a mind map created with FreeMind.  I did link each node/topic to a webpage.  However, no export file in FreeMind creates a file that is clickable online.  You must have the file open in FreeMind to use all the hyperlink functionality and other features of FreeMind.  


Here is an example of charts I created with Wondershare Edraw MindMaster:

Cell Phone Samsung Galaxy A32 5G

My daughter, April, put the SIM card in this new cell phone.  I am under her Samsung account.  She gave the new phone to me when we all had dinner at the Koran Barbeque restaurant on Thursday night.

My new Cell Phone is a Samsung Galaxy A32 5G.  

Busy setting up and learning this advanced cell phone.  

The photographic options are superior to my last cell phone, a older Samsung 7.

These phones run on the Android operation system.

Reception is good throughout the areas in both Washington and Oregon that we travel within.

He Kissed Her Hand

"It is clear that the decisive form of our intercourse with things is in fact touch.  And if this is so, touch and contact are necessarily the most conclusive factor in determining the structure of our world."
-  Ortega y Gasset 

"Touch receptors, called Meissner's corpuscles, are the receptor cells for detecting light touch.  Though taste and smell receptor cells are located only in small areas of the body, the receptor cells for touch are located all over the body, in your skin. Where there are many receptors, or the cells are more concentrated, your sense of touch is heightened. So, the greater the number of receptors a body part has, the more sensitive it will be.  It is true that the lips do have many of these touch receptors. When scientists list the top areas of the body in terms of sensitivity, the lips and fingertips are often ranked as the areas with the highest concentrations of receptor cells.  This sensitivity is also connected to the brain. The areas of the brain that receive messages from touch receptors in the lips and hands are much larger than the areas for receiving messages from less sensitive places, such as the back. More brain power is spent interpreting sensations of touch from the lips and fingers than from other areas that contain these cells.  So, yes, lips are one of the most sensitive parts of the body.  Depending on your particular arrangement of nerves, however, your lips may or may not be more sensitive than your hands."
