Dear friends Today, Prof. Parthasarathy, the doyen of LIS former Director of INSDOC, completes 102 years!. It is such a wonderful pleasure and feeling to count his years and watch his agile life which helps people like us not to feel older! He lives and works by the spirit of LIS even to this date. He reads and replies his e-mail regularly and is in connect with what is latest in the LIS world. Recently he wrote the Preface to the book *The Science and the Profession of Libraries - A Visionary’s Perspective* (A collection of 20 classic papers) published as 125th Anniversary Commemoration Volume released on Ranganathan's 126th birth anniversary, under the series S R Ranganathan Classics. Please join me in wishing Prof. Parthasarathy many more years of healthy life like what he enjoys today and be the guiding spirit of LIS profession. *|**N. V.

These videos typically involve someone role-playing a mundane professional service, such as giving you a haircut, a massage, or booking you in for a doctors’ appointment. The role-plays are usually performed in whispered voices, with the “ASMRtist” (the term for the creators of these videos) focused on building a feeling of intimacy and emphasising any crisp sounds or slow hand movements. But what exactly is ASMR, and why do people watch these videos?

Full list <https://enterprisersproject.com/article/2018/3/10-must-read-books-broaden-y…> *How the science of timing can boost productivity* We humans tend to think of timing as an art, shaped by some combination of intuition and guesswork. But timing is really a science, according to best-selling author and management and motivation guru Daniel Pink, who posits that when we do things is just as important as how we do them. Full story <https://searchcio.techtarget.com/news/252437296/Daniel-Pink-How-the-science…> *The next major innovation in batteries might be here* Lithium-ion batteries were first introduced to the public in a Sony camcorder in 1991. Then they revolutionized our lives. The versatile batteries now power everything from tiny medical implants and smartphones to forklifts and expensive electric cars. And yet, lithium-ion technology still isn’t powerful enough to fully displace gasoline-powered cars or cheap enough to solve the big energy-storage problem of solar and wind power. Dave Eaglesham, the CEO of Pellion Technologies, a Massachusetts-based startup, believes his company has made the leap beyond lithium-ion that will bring the battery industry to the next stage of technological disruption. He and his colleagues have accomplished something researchers have been struggling with for decades: they’ve built a reliable rechargeable lithium-metal battery. Though other startups have for years made various claims about lithium-metal batteries, none yet have gotten past the development or testing phases; Pellion has already been selling their battery to at least one buyer since February. Pellion’s battery can pack nearly double the energy of a conventional lithium-ion battery, making it able to, for example, double the time a drone can spend in the air. That 100% increase in energy density is a step change compared to the annual 10% or so improvement the battery industry currently averages. If Pellion overcomes early limitations, its batteries have the potential to power a Tesla car for 800 km (500 miles) on a single charge, rather than today’s upper limits of 400 km.

While there are many lists of these ’employability’ skills, at Oxford we focus on the key eight skills – based on the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)’s report, Future fit: Preparing graduates for the world of work. We call this the Octane framework.

Or do you struggle to remember what you hear? Improve your speaking and listening skills with these talks Effective communication is paramount to great leadership. But it’s more nuanced and complicated than just learning how to give a great speech. If you want to inspire others through your words, you must learn how to not only speak effectively, but also listen effectively. Communication is a two-way street, after all. We’ve rounded up 10 TED Talks that offer wisdom and advice for leaders who are serious about improving their communication skills. From practical tips like leaving bullet points out of slides, to learning the importance of vulnerability in conversations, these talks offer a mini-course on more effective communication. That should lead to deeper understanding on both sides for leaders and teams.

On a larger scale, AI in India has also become a crucial part of numerous government initiatives. The NDA-led BJP government has put enough importance towards new technologies by starting various new programmes. They have also set up an AI Task Force to prepare India for the Industrial Revolution 4.0. In fact, through a series of events and speeches from his tenure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seen to have been deliberately showcasing India as well as his government as technologically-forward. In an exclusive interaction with Analytics India Magazine, professor Kamakoti Veezhinathan, who heads the AI TasK Force, had explained that the venture was an amalgamation of thought leaders from multiple disciplines — academicians, government officials, corporates and people with other specialisations.

History often proved them wrong. Sometimes disruption is staring you right in the face and you can’t help but look the other way. That’s doubly true when you’re the head of a legacy business desperate to stay relevant. Small players have historically changed the business landscape when the older guys aren’t aware enough or nimble enough to respond. Here are some examples of big CEOs and executives who minimized disruptive threats when they appeared. When asked about these smaller players at the time (and even now) some companies have remained woefully dismissive.
