See our earlier lists of ‘Top 10 Books for Entrepreneurs’ from the past six years as well: 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Full Post <https://yourstory.com/2018/11/top-10-books-2018-entrepreneurs/> *Our favourite science news stories of 2018* Every year, Science publishes hundreds of news stories, both online and in our weekly magazine. And whereas many of these highlight huge advances in research (some of which get a nod in our breakthroughs of the year), a lot are simply cool stories that resonated with us, our readers, or both. And that’s what this list focuses on—some of our coolest and most popular online news stories of the year. It’s an eclectic mix, and you’re sure to find at least a few you’ll want to read—or read all over again.

With further sightings of drones, Gatwick only reopened to limited service after a 36-hour interruption, and those responsible for operating the drone remain at large.

The new unicorns, a term for privately held technology companies estimated to be worth at least $1 billion, are from sectors such as education, software, and financial technology, diversifying the pool from online commerce and advertising models.

Now it wants to put robots inside. Well-known for its automated assembly lines, Toyota sees a not-so-far-off future in which robots transcend the factory and become commonplace in homes, helping with chores -- and even offering companionship -- in an aging society where a quarter of the population is over 65 and millions of seniors live alone.

Here’s the result: 10 innovative ideas from researchers, educators, scientists, and advocates that could make a difference to those on the frontlines of K-12 education. Some of the problems they address are as old as public schooling itself; others have a new and growing sense of urgency. Presented in no particular order, they are meant to stir conversation or prompt you to think about your work in a new way.

Computer Weekly interviews more UK and European IT leaders than any other technology publication. The top IT and digital chiefs shared their opinions and experiences of modern IT leadership and transforming business and government through IT innovation. Full Post <https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252454154/Top-10-CIO-interviews-of-2018> *Your 2019 Horoscope Is Here* We have a lot to be excited for in 2019, stargazers! For starters, three solar eclipses will occur this year. The first one, a partial solar eclipse, happens in Capricorn on January 5 or 6, depending on where you live. This event will occur between Saturn, the planet of structure, and Pluto, the planet of transformation. And, since this eclipse occurs in go-getter Capricorn, we'll feel compelled to focus our collective attention on our work lives and ambitions. If you’re planning on starting a new business and following a new career path, meditate during this eclipse before moving forward with your plans. We will have our first lunar eclipse on January 20 during a full Leo moon, which will leave us feeling emotional and raw. This lunar eclipse will give us a chance to reflect on how we are seen in the world and how we think about self-presentation. Our second total solar eclipse occurs on July 2 in Cancer, while the second lunar eclipse of the year occurs in Capricorn on July 16 . This particular eclipse will sextile with Uranus, making it a much more lighthearted than 2019's first lunar eclipse. You may find that you want to change who you spend your time with — you may even wish to branch out and find a whole new community. Come winter, we'll have an annular (ring-shaped or total) solar eclipse in Capricorn on December 26. This eclipse will put work back on our brains, highlighting any work habits that need adjusting. Jupiter, the planet of luck, will square against Neptune, the planet of dreams and idealism, three times this year — and they haven’t squared against each other since 2006! Watch out for high expectations and overspending around January 13, June 16, and September 21. If hope is hard to come by on these days, relax and remember that challenges arrive in order to teach us important lessons. And that's only scratching the surface of 2019's celestial activity — read on to find out what’s in store for your sign.

Now, the oldest members of the next generation, Gen Z, are beginning to enter the workforce, and employers will need to adjust their approach yet again.

Appointment of Director of Inflibnet
by ameet joshi 29 Dec '18

29 Dec '18

Dear Professionals,      I fully agree with Mr.Baiju Joy regarding the Appointment of Director of Inflibnet. In our library and information field majority of professionals are lacking professional as well as general knowledge. To crown this situation, our professionals are very poor in communication skills. So obviously Appointing a non professional as a Director of Inflibnet is not a bad idea.Regards,Ameet Joshi.Library Department.SVKM’s NMIMS (Bengaluru Campus)Phone: +91-80-25126071.   From: <lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>Sent: Wed, 26 Dec 2018 17:53:50To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inSubject: LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 189, Issue 38Send LIS-Forum mailing list submissions to   lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inTo subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit   http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forumor, via email, send a message with subject or body 'hel p' to   lis-forum-request(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inYou can reach the person managing the list at   lis-forum-owner(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.inWhen replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specificthan "Re: Contents of LIS-Forum digest..."Today's Topics:  1.

Aseparate study from AnitaB.org revealed that women leave tech companies twotimes faster than men do. In addition, 56% of the few women who work intech leave by the time they have reached mid-level jobs, resulting in thefact that women are three times less likely to have senior technical rolesthan men.Why do they leave?To find out, Indeed.com conducted a survey that asked 1,000 women intechnology why they had left previous jobs. It also asked them otherquestions about challenges they had experienced in the workplace and issuesthat were important to them.

It brings together researchersand participants who come from very different contexts, who have verydifferent life experiences, very different knowl edges, who face verydifferent life challenges, and together they explore technologies that arerapidly evolving and are profoundly affecting social, political andeconomic relationships.ICTD/ICT4D researchers, individually and collectively, place themselves inpositions where their actions can have intended and unintended consequencesand therefore they carry responsibility.Most ICTD/ICT4D researchers seek to behave ethically, but the complexinterdisciplinary nature of the field, and its distinctive characteristics,including the emergent nature of technology, make it difficult for both newand experienced researchers to identify and reason about the ethical issuesthat surround their work.
