Over the last two decades, these letters have become an unparalleled source of insight into how the world's richest man — and his company — think about customers, innovation, building products, and more. Full post <https://www.cbinsights.com/research/bezos-amazon-shareholder-letters/> *BYOD or COPE: Which enterprise mobility strategy is right for you?* The corporate-owned, personally enabled (COPE) model provides an alternative for organizations in which the bring your own device (BYOD) trend hasn't lived up to the hype. COPE aims to provide a user-friendly mobile experience that's a little more manageable for IT. The key difference is the device ownership; unlike with BYOD, where users purchase their own, COPE relies on company-issued phones and tablets that employees can use for work and personal tasks. Full post <https://searchmobilecomputing.techtarget.com/tip/BYOD-or-COPE-Which-enterpr…> *India: Why collecting water turns millions of women into second-class citizens* A family in India needs fresh water. But this family can’t just turn on a tap. Instead, the women in the household must walk to fetch it, sometimes travelling miles carrying plastic or earthenware pots, possibly with a child or two in tow, to the nearest safe source – regularly repeating the journey up to three times a day. In the scorching summer months of April and May, when temperatures regularly exceed 40C, it is a particularly gruelling daily ritual – and when they get home they must complete their other household chores: cooking, washing, bringing up the children, even helping on the family farm. These women are reminiscent of the many-armed Hindu goddess, Durga – they have so many daily tasks, they could doubtless do with an extra set of hands. But they aren’t the exception. This is the reality for millions of women in India. From the Western Ghats and the mountainous north-east to the arid desert state of Rajasthan, women across the country act as water collectors. And this gender specific role has a severe impact on every aspect of their lives, from their health and social life to education and their ability to have a real say in the community. It is estimated that 163m Indians still don’t have access to clean, running water. Until that’s fixed, this significant national problem will prevail, with women paying the biggest price. Full post <https://theconversation.com/india-why-collecting-water-turns-millions-of-wo…> *An eco-friendly way to make smartphones* Our devices are made of rare minerals – but they come at a cost to the planet. However, scientists might have a solution to build the smartphones of the near-future. A team of researchers at Cambridge may have found a safer way to extract rare earth elements (REEs) – the vital material in our smartphones – that could end up saving the planet. Full post <http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20171024-an-eco-friendly-way-to-make-smartp…> *The world's most prolific writer is a Chinese algorithm* “Inflatable duck baby pool with canopy.” “Hot selling colourful temporary full arm tattoo for men.” “Splendid reusable dog pee pad (minimum order: 500).” Load up the homepage for e-commerce giant, Alibaba – a wholesale shopping site that’s more or less China’s answer to eBay – and you’ll find images and descriptions of anything you could wish to buy, from kitchen sinks to luxury yachts. Every item has a short headline, but most are little more than lists of keywords: hand-picked search terms to ensure this USB phone charger or that pair of flame-resistant overalls float to the top in a sea of thousands upon thousands of similar items. It sounds simple, but there’s an art to this copywriting. Yet Alibaba recently revealed that it is training an artificial intelligence to generate these item descriptions automatically – and they’re not the only ones. Over the last few decades AIs have been taught to compose music, paint pictures and write (bad) poems. Now they’re writing advertising copy, 20,000 lines of it a second. “Generative bots are the new chatbot,” says Jun Wang at University College London. “Generating copy is just one of the applications that can be done.” Full post <http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180829-the-worlds-most-prolific-writer-is…> *History of the Internet Part 11: Apple and Steve Jobs* Welcome to Part Eleven of our journey through time, learning how the Internet has evolved and studying the effect it has had on our lives. In the series so far, we have focused on the Internet innovations that have come from Microsoft, Netscape, Sun Microsystems, MySpace, Yahoo, Facebook, and Google. This has largely missed the contributions of one of our industry’s greatest companies, Apple Computers, and so we must redress that right now. It is impossible to cover the history of Apple Computers without mentioning Steve Jobs, the savior of the company that he co-founded and loved dearly. This article discusses how he spectacularly turned the company around, from an aimless enterprise free-falling toward bankruptcy to one of the most highly motivated and successful companies in the world. I hope that this gives you inspiration for one of the most important rules in business: sharply focusing on the essential needs of your business and your customers.

In little more than two months, he has penned seven poems and three short stories. His fourth work of fiction — developed from *Pithar Mel* (‘Meeting of sweet rice cakes’), a poem from a book picked up from the school-library-on-rope — has been selected for the wall magazine of his lower primary school on Jail Road in the outskirts of Assam’s Barpeta town, about 95 km from Guwahati. *It’s exciting* Utpal, in Class V, is from Karertal village. His classmate, Rajeda Khatun, from the same village, has become an advocate of wildlife conservation after reading books where animals are the central characters. Both boys found these books from their school’s unique library, a wall with ropes strung across it, to which the books are clipped. The wall separates the teachers’ room from a storeroom. “We got some books from Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) 10-12 years ago, but they were kept in trunks and taken out only when required. Insects and damp damaged them. The hanging library, introduced in our school in August, has worked wonders,” says Chandana Pathak, who takes turns with six other teachers at conducting reading classes with library books for at least two hours a week. The 56 students at Paschim Kholabhanda L.P. School, on an island in the Brahmaputra, had never seen a library before. The new hanging library in their flood-prone school has generated much excitement. *Rediscovering talent* “When we pioneered the hanging library concept in Barpeta district six-seven months ago, the idea was to make the books visible in order to arrest the declining reading habit among students, which was affecting their learning. We have so far put up such libraries in 190 schools,” says Thaneswar Malakar, Barpeta’s Deputy Commissioner and a former Mission Director of SSA. The district has 1,697 lower primary schools, 303 middle-level schools, and 301 secondary schools. The hanging idea serves another purpose; it keeps the books safe during floods. Madhyachar Kholabandha L.P. School, for instance, gets inundated regularly during floods even though it is built on higher ground. With the books hanging high, water can’t reach them. Measures such as the hanging library have helped Barpeta leave other districts of Assam behind in adding value to education across government schools. “The new ideas are working to the extent that many students are leaving private schools,” says Kapil Das, headteacher of Suliyakata Adarsha L.P. School in Barpeta. The school drop-out rate has come down too, and frequent visits by officials to far-flung schools to assess the impact of the programmes have checked child marriage to some extent. Students are not the only beneficiaries of this change in the way education is imparted. “Teachers are rediscovering their talents in singing, playing an instrument, dancing, acting, painting and various sports,” says Jyotsna Rani Barman, the district inspector of schools for Barpeta. The artistic abilities of the teachers are coming together with the gift of imagination of students like Utpal to make learning fun in Barpeta. *rahul.karmakar(a)thehindu.co.in <rahul.karmakar(a)thehindu.co.in>* ======== Dr P Vyasamoorthy 040-27846631 / 09490804278 When I had to note down something after a phone conversation, I sent an SMS to myself to my LL number -- no charges, but a record is available. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

No. Of LIS professionals in firms while availing services?
by vinod mishra 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Dear all Most of the times it has been observed while availing library services like automation, digitisation, online resources, etc. We never bother about availability of LIS manpower in firms because of which Libraries face many problem after availing services. Therefore i suggest to put some terms and condition while availing the services and give priority to those firms who is having good number of LIS professionals. The above method will help in getting more jobs by LIS peoples and libraries may available typical professional services who actually understands the libraries and librarians.

But one thing you’re always passionate about is your career success. It’s an interesting moment in the IT profession, marked by great change both in individual roles and team organization. More CIOs are leading digital strategy. More workplaces are blurring the boundaries between teams, thanks to DevOps and agile ways of working. New technologies like AI and automation are taking over some manual tasks, ideally freeing IT people to do more valuable work. Based on our recent readership numbers on career-minded stories, this is a time of year when many of you start to think about whether you’re still in the right place. So we’ve rounded up some must-reads if you’re hunting for your next IT role – or preparing to hunt – because preparation is key. These ten articles will give you everything from a look at what roles are hot to salary negotiation tips. So dig in. And let us know what aspects of IT job hunting you’d like us to bear down on in the future. Good luck with the job hunt. Full post <https://enterprisersproject.com/article/2018/9/it-jobs-10-must-reads-job-hu…> *Halfway to boiling: the city at 50C* It is the temperature at which human cells start to cook, animals suffer and air conditioners overload power grids. Once an urban anomaly, 50C is fast becoming reality Not long ago, 50C was considered an anomaly, but it is increasingly widespread. Earlier this year, the 1.1 million residents of Nawabshah, Pakistan, endured the hottest April ever recorded on Earth, as temperatures hit 50.2C. In neighbouring India two years earlier, the town of Phalodi sweltered in 51C – the country’s hottest ever day. Dev Niyogi, professor at Purdue University, Indiana, and chair of the Urban Environment department at the American Meteorological Society, witnessed how cities were affected by extreme heat on a research trip to New Delhi and Pune during that 2015 heatwave in India, which killed more than 2,000 people. “You could see the physical change. Road surfaces started to melt, neighbourhoods went quiet because people didn’t go out and water vapour rose off the ground like a desert mirage,” he recalls. “We must hope that we don’t see 50C. That would be uncharted territory. Infrastructure would be crippled and ecosystem services would start to break down, with long-term consequences.” Full post <https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/aug/13/halfway-boiling-city-50c> *BBC Computer Literacy Project 1980-1989* In the 1980s, the BBC explored the world of computing in The Computer Literacy Project. They commissioned a home computer (the BBC Micro) and taught viewers how to program. The Computer Literacy Project chronicled a decade of information technology and was a milestone in the history of computing in Britain, helping to inspire a generation of coders.

The Nobel Prize recognizes scientific achievements that have brought real and lasting change to health, the physical sciences, technology and economics and to our understanding of these fields. Each prize is awarded to up to three individuals, but the reality is that each breakthrough is the culmination of millions of hours of work conducted in labs around the world. Each award is only possible because of the community of researchers, reviewers and co-authors that enabled it. The formidable achievements recognized by the Nobel Foundation will, in turn, empower today’s scientists to make further discoveries. Thanks to their predecessors, who dedicated their time in pursuit of these truths, the winners listed below are finding new answers, reshaping human knowledge and tackling global crises. Most of the Nobel Laureates in science have published their work in Elsevier's journals and books — 181 out of 182 since the year 2000, according to a Scopus analysis — and many have served as editors, editorial board members or reviewers. At Elsevier, we are proud to support such scientific achievement. Many of our people began their careers in research, medicine or science, and they are passionate about working closely with people in the research community to support the great work they do and make it possible for researchers around the world to find it and build on it. To honor this year’s Nobel Laureates, their achievements, and the community that made these amazing breakthroughs possible, we have made a selection of their most cited papers published with Elsevier freely available. - Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - Nobel Prize in Physics - Nobel Prize in Chemistry Full post <https://www.elsevier.com/connect/honoring-the-2018-nobel-laureates-with-fre…> *Plagiarism Detection* Explore the latest articles, projects, and questions and answers in Plagiarism Detection, and find Plagiarism Detection experts.

Once an illegal and somewhat niche product, legal cannabis is now a fast-growing global industry. And it’s proving to be disruptive, impacting everything from beverage production to home construction. Recent analyst reports estimate that the global legal marijuana industry will reach more than $20B by 2025. Medical marijuana is already legal in more than half the United States, and eight states (plus Washington DC) have legalized marijuana for recreational use. It’s soon to be fully legal in all of Canada. There’s also been a large uptick in public and private investment in new, safer forms of ingestible marijuana, while cannabis startups — focused on everything from therapeutics applications to cultivation techniques — are also cropping up. Financing to cannabis companies more than doubled in 2017.

New research from the United States, published today in PLOS, now shows hugs can help us to cope with conflict in our daily life. Hugs are considered a form of affectionate touch. Hugs occur between social partners of all types, and sometimes even strangers. They often arise in positive contexts – while greeting, celebrating an achievement, or simply enjoying the presence of a loved one – but they can also occur in negative contexts when support is needed. Affectionate touch buffers anxiety associated with potential negative events. For instance, in one study, brain activity among participants who held their romantic partner’s hand during a stressful situation reflected less intense threat responses compared to that of participants who held a stranger’s hand, or no hand at all. The new research, led by Carnegie Mellon’s Michael Murphy, reveals the important role that hugs can play in buffering against the negative impact of interpersonal conflict such as disagreements and arguments.

The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) at Defra estimates that around 600 million tonnes of products and materials enter the UK economy each year and we generate approximately 290 million tonnes of waste. Only 115 million tonnes of this combined material gets recycled. Although there has been a gradual decline in waste over the past few years, there is still a long way to go in identifying ways to prevent waste in manufacturing and production processes, through supply chains and particularly at a community level. There has been significant success in reducing waste in recent years, but it remains an enormous challenge and an area which needs new solutions. We throw away more than seven million tonnes of food and drink every year from our homes – most of which could have been safely consumed. The UK hospitality sector alone (hotels, pubs, restaurants and quick service restaurants) could save £724 million a year by tackling food waste. The UKISEEN SIC is challenging participants to create hard impact through one of the following areas: - The sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources. Halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses. - Achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment. - Substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
