Haven't seem the performance yet, but I was wondering what happened to Kaitlyn's knee. In the FD pic on ice network, it looks like she cut it pretty badly.
Haven't seem the performance yet, but I was wondering what happened to Kaitlyn's knee. In the FD pic on ice network, it looks like she cut it pretty badly.
I heard she stated that the ice was rough. I think it was more of a scrape than a cut, but it really started bleeding at the end of their program where she travels on her knee for the final pose. That was the most emotionally charged FD I have ever seen, and like Krylova, I had a tear in my eye.

W/P were ***ok*** but not as great as everyone is saying. I can't help but wonder if their music is so over-dramatic, that it makes them seem better than they are? It really is powerful music, but are they as powerful skaters as the music? Not so much.
W/P were more than OK and the judges deemed it so. Sorry you don't appear to be of the same opinion. If you want to speak about couples using the music to drive their skating and the reaction to it, you could say the same thing about D/W who also used music that carried them.
Really, what IS it about some posters who insist on coming into "uber" threads just so they can post their negative opinions.
Crazy about sports!
I have been waiting for a couple that can move me as much as W/P did last night to come along for so many years! I don't think I was moved so much since Marina and Gwendal (and that says A LOT). The first thing I need to see in a couple to love them is chemistry and passion. And they definitely have that. I'm with them 100%. Their FD was my favourite moment of the championships so far!
Weaver and Poje had the skate of the night for me too. Loved it.
Kaitlyn is really improving which is nice to see. I thought she looked down in her knees more yesterday than I've seen her before. There are times when she can use more stretch in her free leg and I'm sure Krylova will continue to work on that. Andrew is so great and such a steady partner. I loved their circ footwork sequence. It had such deep edges and great flow.
Very curious to see what Camerlengo gives them next year. I hope they will have great material again!
My favorite performance of the competition.
The more I watch them, the more I love them.
I want them so badly to end up on a World's podium. I will be tricky, but they are so expressive. It's not that they are so pretty (though they are), but that they are so completely sincere in their musical expression. They and their coaches are a match made in heaven.
improving my ballad- like lines
My problem w/what happened has nothing to do w/the skaters and everything to do w/the judging of the event. When it's been pointed so much how important the twizzles are in the Dance event, one of the two of the team falls out of them in the SD, a required element, and said SD was also very cautious for very understandable reasons, but still cautious in performance. You put that beside Kaitlyn and Andrew's not a skate blade wrong SD and..If it was a point difference of a point or so after all was said and done in the SD between Fabian/Nathalie and Kaitlyn/Andrew, that I would have understood and that would have been fair. A three point difference though? No, that I didn't and still don't understand it.
I can't be happy for Fabian and Nathalie's long overdue medal just because there is that whiff of suspect judging there and for two hard working, classy and never heard a bad thing about people and skaters, that's beyond a shame. Also hurts the sport again because once again, people are wondering about the judging in skating and if it's fair.
That does no one or the sport any good.
I agree, their musical expression is, for me, the best of them all. I mean, really, them ALL.
I was thinking back on some the range of their acting abilities, and dinakt I agree with you about the sincerity of their expression, which is especially amazing when seen in so many different types of dances (last year's At Last, this year's SD. I mean, they made campy Moulin somehow work for me. Aaaand they also made Phantom work for me too.)
I always liked this team but never really considered them. But they snuck in and had me fall in love with them.
WP reminded me about what makes figure skating so magical. It's not always as simple as a great skate, even if the skate is technically masterful and interpreted well. There are those very special skates and skaters that take it to another level, I mean truly transcendent, wherein I'm suddenly not thinking at all, just feeling, and my imagination has been reawakened. Some skaters have a passion for the sport, and they're beautiful skaters. And some skaters have a passion for the artform on an intrinsic, basic need sort of level...and that's when it's just magic.

Their Phantom was my personal favourite out of all the PotO programs we got for 09-10 Season. Also loved how they were the only ones who used the music box rendition of Masquerade in their program. AFAIK, they're the only ones I've seen use it in their program I've seen over the years.
It just cast such a spell in the arena at 09 Skate Canada in K-W and really was such a special program. A shame it never got skated at the Olympics.
Chipping in here to say that I think I only saw W&P's SD from one of the GP event and hadn't seen their FD up until yesterday. It really blew me away. Lovely expression (I overuse that word) and emotion and was a really beautiful program. The music was great for them and they used it so well. A pleasure to watch.
Sometimes it is good not to watch skaters throughout the season and then see them at the best moment. Makes it special and memorable.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
W/P are great and are going in the right direction improving all the time.I don't think they will get on the worlds podium till after olympics when maybe V/M P/B and maybe D/W retire.Then I expect W/P and I/K/ to battle it out as the top two couples IMO .
Congratulations to Weaver/Poje on two great skates at Worlds. I continue to be impressed by their improvement over the last two seasons. They also have learned how to compete as well as they practice. Great to see.
Their placement here should help continue to bolster their reputation with the Canadian judges. They may need that next season given what I think has been a definite tendency in past years for Canadian judges to undermark them compared to more favoured skaters. (That's my opinion only, at it may be an incorrect perception of Canadian judges, but it certainly has appeared like that to me over the past few years).
However, it's that same lack of favouritism that has forced them to become the great skaters they are today, so in the end it turned out to be a good thing.
I do feel Fabian and Nathalie deserved the bronze although I thought the margin would be by a less. Regardless, good for them.
What?!!!!!! No Weaver and Poje in the Gala. That's so disappointing!!!! I wonder why.

Applications now open for Ireland's first MOOC
The Institute of Technology Sligo (Sligo, Ireland) will now become Ireland's first public higher education institution to offer a free online course or a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC).
Traditionally, colleges charge fees for online programmes and offer accreditation upon completion. By comparison, under the MOOC model, courses are free, are not accredited and have 'massive' enrollments. Ireland's first MOOC will commence at IT Sligo this September and will take the form of a free, six-week online course in Lean Sigma Quality, the foremost quality process improvement approach for companies in the manufacturing and service industries. The first MOOC will be delivered by Brian Coll and Dr John Donovan, academics from the institute's School of Engineering & Design who both lecture on the Institute's online BSc and MSc in Quality.
Where Tradition and ICT Meet: eLearning Africa Photo Competition

"Bringing practitioners together with researchers, academia and policy makers"
As the fourth Special Edition of eLearning Papers will be published in a few days. We invited Tapio Koskinen, the board's Director of eLearning Papers, to tell us about this first issue of the year, and to share his ideas on Open Education.
The fourth special edition of eLearning Papers is fresh off the press. What will we be able to read in it?
This is the third time I help prepare the special edition, which involves choosing the most interesting and popular articles published during the past 12 months, and then selecting a representative set of topics.
One of our most widely read issues in 2012 focused on Cyber Security, for example. For the special edition, we picked a Finnish article on "Children's Experiences of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Abuse on the Internet", a problem that is more widespread than what we, adults, might think.
We also published an issue in the context of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations 2012 from which we took a very interesting "From the field" article on mobility, international students and challenges of Lifelong Learning.
In the creative classrooms' issue – probably this last year's most important one – we had a wonderful article outlining the concept of creative classrooms (how they are developing and their future trends) from our frequent contributor Yves Punie and also from Panagiotis Kampylis and Stefania Bocconi.
So, would you highlight this particular article?
Indeed! It might just be the best one amongst last year's articles. It is not only really important but also nicely linked with the European Commission's policy priorities at the moment.
Also, from our issue on learning and work–which had many good articles–we choose a "From the field" article (although it could also be considered an in-depth article) about using serious games and apps for learning.
You mentioned the terms "From the field" and "In-depth" articles? What is the difference between the two?
It was never our intention to be strictly an academic journal. Since the very beginning we have been addressing practitioners and trying to bring them together with researchers, academia and policy makers.
We look at eLearning from a broad perspective, which is why we decided to include these two categories. With "From the field" articles people can share their experiences from projects and practical work without having to "compete" with very extensive research papers. In my opinion this model has been quite well received.
You have been director the board of the eLearning Papers for a long time, how do you see the portal's evolution?
My predecessor and the first director of the board, Roberto Carneiro from Portugal, did a lot to get this initiative started. During my time in the position, we have managed to develop a dynamic and effective way of working remotely by using digital tools.
The portal itself also met a few changes to reflect the division between "From the field" and "In-depth" articles, and the improvements in the review and selection process, but the greatest change was definitely the publishing format. We decided a few years ago that since we are eLearning Papers, we should publish the material not just on the portal or paper-based formats but also as an online magazine. Since then, we have had three issues published as a downloadable PDFs.
Which topics will eLearning Papers address in 2013?
The first issue will address learning analytics, a very hot topic in all areas of ICT applied in education and learning. The following issues will be just as interesting, with topics ranging from learning spaces design, creative classrooms and personal learning environments, to an even hotter topic such as MOOCs, which will be the third issue. By the end of the year we will also have an issue focusing on digital literacy and e-competencies.
We keep hearing about "open education" and MOOCs lately. How do you think this will transform the educational world?
A couple of decades ago, when elearning first appeared, many people were saying that digitalisation was going to revolutionise the learning processes. In reality things have not changed that much and the same people became disappointed to see universities using the digital tools for administration rather than bringing them into the classroom and beyond.
I believe that open education as a concept, opening access to knowledge, content and learning is the main driving force of today. It's actually the first time we see big changes coming to education and learning that are being enabled by digitalisation, for example, social and participatory media tools have made MOOCs and open learning resources possible and are opening a path to change as we speak.
Thank you for your time, Tapio.
Before we finish, I would like to emphasize the fact that we are the only journal in this field being published in Europe in 6 different languages. We are most thankful to our readers, contributors and guest editors, who inspire us and make it possible for us to keep on working and to continuously improve eLearning Papers.
Over 6,500 New Additions to Network of Open Online Museum Collections
Thanks to funds from UK-based Jisc, about 6,500 newly digitised museum objects from University College London and the University of Reading are now available to students, teachers, and the public at large.
Rare Ancient Egyptian artefacts (enhanced by 21st C. 3D imaging), digital images of zoological specimens, strange and beautiful anatomical prints, sixteenth-century portraits, and intriguing nineteenth-century scientific gadgets are just some examples of the digital artefacts recently added.
"Teaching using museum objects is increasingly popular in universities. However, hands-on time is always limited and providing access to our collections digitally overcomes barriers to independent student learning," says Leonie Hannan, teaching fellow in object-based learning at University College London.
This online compendium of objects, which will add to a bank of 150,000 already existing digital resources from the two museums, can be freely viewed, downloaded, and used on a Creative Commons licence. It is available through Culture Grid, the UK gateway to heritage resources.
Also available is a broad range of interdisciplinary Open Educational Resources (OER) that are both apt for online learning, and suitable for burgeoning initiatives like Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs). These OER's can be accessed through JORUM (the online educational resource sharing site), using the search term OBL4HE.
"We're proud at Jisc to see how university museum staff has joined forces with academic colleagues and students to ensured the resources created respond to the needs of the teachers and learners," asserts Paola Marchionni, programme manager at Jisc.
'Vital' Subject Portals Will Continue to Provide Free Resources
Management of the Vital subject and special interest portals, an invaluable resource for schools, will switch over from The Open University to Jisc as of 1 April 2013. The portals direct teachers to some of the best subject resources available, helping to bring about innovation in the classroom to inspire learners.
Jisc (Joint Information Systems Committee) has finalised an agreement to preserve and host the Vital subject portals, which will be free to access, complementing Jisc Advance's new subscription offer to schools.
"We are delighted that the DfE and The Open University selected us to provide a legacy for the Vital programme," says Guy Lambert, CEO of Jisc Advance. "We're looking forward to taking over the reins of these established resource portals, accessed by up to 6,000 users every year."
This service will provide practical support to:
• Optimise the use of schools' and academies' existing technologies
• Link the use of technology to improvements in learning outcomes and progression
• Provide opportunities to share with and learn from peers
• Provide open access to resources and professional development opportunities.
Current Vital users will be contacted in Spring 2013 informing them of the changes and increased benefits. They will be offered the opportunity for their registrations to be transferred to Jisc to ensure continuity of service.
eLearning Papers: Call for articles on Mobile Learning open until November 19th
While learning has always expanded beyond the walls of the classroom, the proliferation of devices and applications, which have greatly expanded when, where and how information can be accessed and stored, brings this issue to the fore. How have such devices had an impact in learning, and what role may they play in the future? This issue hopes to showcase practical examples and generate serious reflection on an emerging topic.
Today's youth are growing up in a world very different from the world their teachers or parents knew when they were young. Where and how they learn is changing as mobile learning and social networking become part of their every day life. Ubiquitous access to social media, tools and knowledge resources is taken for granted, while passive teacher-directed work dominates life at school.
Open, social and participatory media have significant potential to transform learning and teaching. They offer numerous ways to communicate, collaborate and connect with peers. The range of free educational resources and tools is rapidly increasing. Cloud computing has enabled free or inexpensive access to applications that were once available only to those who were willing to pay premium license fees.
The gap between the potential and actual use of technology in education is a paradox. eLearning Papers seeks to facilitate the sharing of innovative and creative uses of technology to support learning among its readers. The upcoming 32nd issue focuses on mobile technology applications and their potential to enhance learning within the broad spectrum of education and training. Papers are welcome on any aspects related to the use of open, social and participatory media, cloud computing or mobile learning. Some suggested focus areas are listed below.
- How do mobile devices enhance learning and creativity?
- Mobile learning and creative classrooms
- OER for mobile learning
- Mobile learning management models and strategies
- Learning design for mobile learning
- Mobile learning platforms, devices and operating systems
- Authoring tools and technologies for mobile learning
- Content design and development for mobile learning
- Platform specific applications for learning
- Augmented reality in education
- Mixed reality and mobile devices supporting learning
- Mobile devices and schoolwork, in classrooms and beyond
- Mobile devices supporting performance and learning at work
- Low-tech mobile learning, e.g. the power of SMS
The article submission deadline is November 19th, 2012. The provisional date of publication is December, 2012. For further information and to submit your article, please contact: email@example.com
Guest editor: Prof. Dr. Martin Wolpers, Fraunhofer-Institut für Angewandte Informationstechnik FIT
Consultation on Opening Up Education Initiative Launched
The consultation on "Opening up Education - a proposal for a European Initiative to enhance education and skills development through new technologies", will explore the perceived need for EU action to promote the use of open educational resources (OER) in education.
From 13 August 2012 to 13 November 2012.
New technologies, in particular the internet, together with globalisation and the emergence of new education providers, are radically changing the way people learn and teach. Open access to education resources offers an unprecedented opportunity to enhance both excellence and equity in education. The EU aims to help both individual learners and education and training institutions in Member States to benefit from these opportunities and to increase their contribution to society.
In the last quarter of 2012, the Commission will present a Communication on Rethinking Skills aiming to increase the quantity, quality and relevance of skills supply for higher economic and social outcomes. This will, among other actions, announce a new EU Initiative on "Opening up Education": a proposal to exploit the potential contribution of ICTs and Open Educational Resources (OER) to education and skills development. This new EU initiative on "Opening up Education" will be the topic of a subsequent Communication in mid-2013.

The Great Find Comforters & Sets
Keep warm and cozy at night with comforters from Kmart
It's hard to sleep well when you're cold. Our body temperature naturally drops at night, which makes it that much more important to stay warm while drifting off. Your bed may or may not have one or more blankets or throws, but what every bed should have is a good comforter. These big blankets cover your entire bed, insulating you by keeping your body heat under the covers. They're available in a wide variety of colors and designs. For a bedding set that matches perfectly, go for a complete comforter set. This gives you a matching set, so you don't have to go hunting for separate sheets and pillowcases to match your new comforter.
The first step in choosing the best comforter for your bed is getting the right size. Keep in mind that you may want to get a larger size if you prefer a comforter that drapes closer to the floor, in order to cover up the box spring; this is especially true if your bed frame or box spring is unusually tall. Comforters at Kmart come in a variety of fabrics, including cotton, polyester and microfiber. Comforters are warm but usually not a warm as down comforters.
A good-looking comforter can really improve your bedroom decor. This is where a comforter set comes in handy. Comforter sets come with a comforter and matching accessories, such as sheets, pillow shams and bed skirts. Complete bed sets include everything in a comforter set plus extras like decorative pillows, throw blankets and extra pillow cases. You get a complete set that looks great together with no mixing and matching required.
Comforters, comforter sets and complete bed sets at Kmart come in a variety of colors and patterns. Choose a floral design for a more feminine look, a solid color for a bold splash of color or a geometric pattern for a subtle hint of structure. For the kids in your house, take a look at some of our fun kids' comforters.

An overview of architecture and modeling in Cassandra
This article is written by Sanjay Sharma, the author of Cassandra Design Patterns. When Cassandra was first being developed, the initial developers had to take a design decision on whether to build a Dynamo-like or a Google BigTable-like system, and these clever guys decided to use the best of both worlds. Hence, the Cassandra architecture is loosely based on the foundations of peer-to-peer-based Dynamo architecture, with the data storage model based on Google BigTable.Read An overview of architecture and modeling in Cassandra in full

Organizing Backbone Applications - Structure, Optimize, and Deploy
Backbone itself doesn't provide any application structure or guidance on how to organize the application source code. This makes it quite difficult for beginner-level programmers to understand how to create a folder structure, add proper namespaces, load script files in the appropriate order, and follow patterns to create a robust app architecture. We will see how to do so in this article by Swarnendu De, author of Backbone.js Patterns and Best Practices.Read Organizing Backbone Applications - Structure, Optimize, and Deploy in full

These days, security is the most vital subject for any organization irrespective of their size or the kind of the business they do. The primary reason for this is that organizations don't want to lose their reputation or business over compromises affecting security; secondly, they have to meet legal and regulatory requirements. When it comes to technical security of the infrastructure, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (PT or PenTest) play the most vital role. This article by Himanshu Kumar, the author of Learning Nessus for Penetration Testing, illustrates what a PT or PenTest is, why it is required and how to set up and manage Nessus for your organization.
This article will introduce you to Nessus, a tool for vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. We will also cover the following topics:
- Vulnerability Assessment
- Penetration testing

Intents for Mobile Components
In this article by Wajahat Karim, the author of the book "Learning Android Intents" has discussed some of the applications of intents with a more practical approach. Also, he has discussed the mobile components that are commonly found in all Android phones.
Now, we will see how these mobile components can be accessed and used very easily via intents. Android provides a vast collection of libraries and features through which a developer can utilize mobile components. This is as easy as a walk in the park. This article mainly includes four different categories of components: visual components such as camera, communication components such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, media components such as video and audio recording, speech recognition, and text-to-speech conversion, and finally, motion components such as proximity sensor. The following topics will be discussed in this article:
- Common mobile components
- Components and intents
- Communication components
- Using Bluetooth through intents
- Using Wi-Fi through intents
- Media components
- Taking pictures and recording video through intents
- Speech recognition using intents
- Role of intents in text-to-speech conversion
- Motion components

Marching toward femto networks!
During my recent talk about small cells and their evolution toward higher coverage, capacity and reach, a listener asked me, "Isn't that what today's picocells offer?" The answer is, "Exactly!" As we move toward femto networks, femtos will be used as traditional picocells, combining the plug and play benefit of femto architecture with larger coverage and capacity of picocells. Our recent announcement of femto chipsets supporting up to 32 users is a major step in that direction.

Kudos to this server who stood up for what is right
:Michael Garcia, a waiter at Laurenzo's, was serving a family who have been regulars since the restaurant opened. The family includes 5-year-old Milo, who has Down syndrome.
But a customer at a nearby table who was also with his family began making comments about Milo.
The customer got up from the table and moved his family to another table further away from Milo, but still in Garcia's serving section. Garcia said the man continued talking about Milo and said, "special needs children need to be special somewhere else."
"My personal feelings took over because that's ignorance in my opinion and I told him 'Sir, I won't be able to serve you,'" Garcia tells FoxNews.com.
The customer who made the obnoxious comment chose to leave the restaurant. It's not in the article linked above, but I read in either another one or on a Houston-based blog that the manager of the restaurant stood by Garcia's decision not to serve this twonk.
It amazes me that an adult can be that insensitive, narrow-minded, and downright cruel regarding a five year-old child. If Milo had been throwing a tantrum or behaving in a manner that was way out of line, it would have been understandable to want to change tables. However, this kid wasn't out of control, screaming, or doing anything to bother other patrons, but for this guy to snot off by saying that "special needs children need to be special somewhere else" is beyond reprehensible.
After speculating on this for a few moments, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if this ass-clown's own kids have likely acted like holy terrors in public places, but because they were his own spawn, their behavior was excused.....And if someone so much as implied that they needed to dial it down a notch, he would fly into a rage to defend them.

"A maker is a trending term referring to a producer of technology-based works such as electronics or robotics. A maker space is where people have an opportunity to explore interests, learn to use tools and materials and develop creative projects.
Libraries statewide have been offering a variety of science and technology based programming through the summertime reading theme Fizz, Boom, Read. A $20,000 Vermont Community Foundation Innovations and Collaborations Grant, and a $5,000 grant from University of Vermont College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences are helping to fund the programs.
The Williston workshop is part of the "Vermont Makers and Libraries: Sparking a Culture of Innovation" project, a collaborative between the Vermont Department of Libraries, Vermont Makers, the University of Vermont College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, Vermont Library Association and CMF Innovations."
Karen du Toit's insight:
A great but exciting challenge to librarians to stay ahead!
"In my estimation, librarians are the perfect 'digital docents' for the 21st century's digital content. From what I've read, many in the field of library sciences have been fretting about where they fit into the digital shift, so the time is now to assert that librarians (as a profession) will be MORE in need by society in the future than ever before. There should be more jobs, not fewer, for library students. They are the professional and ethical curators of the digital world, essential to our cultural transition. And we couldn't be in better hands!" - See more at: http://digitalmediadiet.com/?p=3205#sthash.G195kvCG.hNauw3dC.dpuf
Karen du Toit's insight:
Great points here: "Criteria for Reviewing Digital Children's Content"
From bookriot
Starting in 1935, in the midst of the Great Depression, the federal government did something that might seem odd: it paid artists to make art.
Karen du Toit's insight:
Vintage inspiration!
"USC Online has created an infographic called, "The Five Laws of Library Science," which explores five principles which can help guide the practices of librarians.
According to the graphic, almost 2.5 million public library books were circulated between more than 1.5 million people in 2011. The graphic also points out that there is more than 120,000 libraries in the U.S."
Via Miguel Mimoso Correia
Karen du Toit's insight:
Five important principles - good reminder!
1) You will have to deal with people.
2) You will develop relationships with people you have never met. Probably people long deceased.
3) You will likely end up with an abundance of self-taught, pseudo-IT knowledge.
4) Paper is heavy.
5) You will get dirty.
6) You will have to explain what you do over and over again.
7) Parents will expect you to do their kid's homework.
8) You will tease people about erasing them from the historical record when they piss you off.
Karen du Toit's insight:
Great list by Stephanie from Playfully Tacky
From www
During the past ten years, the Human Rights Working Group of the International Council on Archives (ICA) became increasingly aware of the complex problems facing archivists as they encounter human rights issues.
The draft "Basic Principles on the Role of Archivists in Support of Human Rights" is organized in two parts: a preamble and a set of principles, following the structure of the "Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers." The preamble provides the background for the principles, referring to United Nations documents, civil society statements, and archival precepts. The 23 principles are grouped in six sections. The first two sections cover the basic archival functions; the third covers the special situations of displaced archives and of archives that appear to document violations of human rights; the fourth through sixth sections are devoted to the roles and rights of archivists as professionals.
Comments on the draft should be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com
Karen du Toit's insight:
Good to know and give some insights.
"Want to build your professional network and learn about librarianship around the world? Love the idea of professional travel but just don't have the budget?The International Librarians Network (ILN) is for you.
The ILN peer mentoring program is a facilitated program aimed at helping librarians develop international networks. We are pleased to announce the next round of this popular program will commence in September 2014."
Karen du Toit's insight:
Great opportunity for librarians and archivists to extend their own professional connections and development!

From 3dprint
"As more libraries begin adopting this amazing technology, and the general public begins to realize the vast number of applications for such a technology, I believe that a number of new questions will have to be answered by those overseeing its use. Questions such as "Should we allow anyone of any age to use our printers?", "Should we censor what is printed by these machines?"and "What sort of oversight and rules should be put into place?"
David Lee King and Kate Marek give their opinions.
Karen du Toit's insight:
Some thoughts on 3D printing in libraries!
Today, Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center's Internet Project, is speaking at the American Library Association's Annual Conference in Las Vegas. He'll describe the Project's new study about the different kinds of library users and non-users, based on research that uses segmentation models to show how technology, community orientation, and library activities affect the way people use libraries. The research also shows the variety of reasons why people do not use libraries. He will explore the implications of this work for library leaders as they explore new services and for the library community as it does advocacy. His slides are available here:
Karen du Toit's insight:
Different kinds of library users, and the implications for library leaders!
In the past few months, LJ has looked at how libraries of all kinds can improve the way they serve their patrons by gathering better data on what their communities want and need.
"Librarians need to be gathering data on the people who are not coming into libraries," says Gary Price, editor of infoDOCKET.
Using data to drive decisions about what programming to offer and where to spend resources isn't just for big regional players. With numerous assets available for free or little cost and requiring little special training or technical expertise, the knowledge librarians need to make big changes in small communities is already largely at their disposal. And while being able to access those statistics and make the most of them are two different things, if any field is prepared to do its own dirty work in discerning what complicated information means and how best to put it to use, it is librarianship."
Karen du Toit's insight:
Practical suggestions on how to collect data about the library community!
Growing Learning Communities Through School Libraries and Makerspaces-Creating
From blogs
"Alongside universities, libraries and librarians are now using social media platforms to connect with users in a range of exciting and innovating ways. The latest platform that libraries are experimenting with isInstagram, which allows users to take photos on their smart phones, apply exciting filters and add hashtags, and then share these images online with their followers. Amy Mollett and Anthony McDonnellinvestigate how libraries are making the most of this visually-engaging platform."

It Is My Library! The public can change your mind | by John Berry at Blatant Berry | Library Journal
By John N. Berry III:
"Although it is often perceived as interference, or "meddling," the presumption of ownership by people who live in the jurisdiction of a local public library and their resulting strong opinions about how the place should operate are assets to be nurtured and treasured. Yes, the phenomenon regularly causes disputes about library policies and purposes and makes for controversial community debate. Indeed, library professionals and managers are frequently forced by public opinion, bolstered by media coverage, to operate libraries in ways quite different from their preferred practices."
Karen du Toit's insight:
Good reminder!
Who's library is it anyway?
From torrentfreak
"ReelRadio, a site that streams an archive of often decades-old historical radio shows, has been forced to take down much of its library after the RIAA complained that the site was operating outside the terms of its license. The letter of the law is tight, and the RIAA is insisting that the near 20-year-old site now meets all of its requirements.
When sites like The Pirate Bay come under copyright holder pressure, there is often a big backlash from users who see such action as unfair. That being said, it's generally accepted by both sides that The Pirate Bay courts trouble by, rightly or wrongly, laughing in the face of copyright law.
The situation now faced by ReelRadio, a site dedicated to the streaming of archived historical radio, sits at the other end of the spectrum, but nevertheless the site is still facing potential dismantling by the RIAA."
Karen du Toit's insight:
The problems faced by many archives world-wide!
"The Carnegie UK Trust publication Speaking Volumes: the impact of public libraries on wellbeing shows the wide range of ways in which public libraries can affect the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
Speaking Volumes demonstrates in a clear graphical way how libraries are relevant to four main policy areas: social, economic, cultural and education policy – all of which have an impact on wellbeing.
The leaflet is based on hundreds of examples of practice throughout the UK and Ireland, as well as published evidence of impact. Databases of some of these examples show how public libraries support learning, promote economic wellbeing, act as cultural centres and contribute to the creation of strong and healthy communities."
Via Miguel Mimoso Correia
Karen du Toit's insight:
Continuing relevance of public libraries!
From www
"The library and information community have often been at the forefront of adopting new web technologies, but generally less thought is given to measuring how these technologies are being used. An annual report may mention the number of followers the library's Twitter account has accumulated, or the number of article downloads from its institutional repository, but such a light-touch approach to web metrics neither recognizes its full potential nor acknowledges its limitations. 'Web metrics' is a broad term used to refer to the quantitative measurement of the creation and use of web content. It incorporates both 'webometrics', the quantitative study of web content and use for research purposes, and 'web analytics', the quantitative study of web content and use for the evaluation and improvement of a service." -

Olga Kudriavtseva 's curator insight, July 14, 7:06 AM
Библиотекари - учителя. Во многих библиотеках есть компьютеры, которые библиотекари используют для обучения различных категорий пользователей. Библиотекари научат как использовать Microsoft Office, как безопасно пользоваться Интернетом, как настроить учетные записи и оставаться в безопасности в социальных медиа , и многое другоеБиблиотекари - технически продвинутые специалисты. Мы должны знать, по крайней мере, основы компьютерных технологий. В большинстве случаев, мы знаем больше, и если мы не уверены в точном ответе , то знаем, как его найти.Библиотекари - рекламодатели. Библиотеки в основном сами управляют своими связями с общественностью и рекламой собственных услуг и событий ( обычно почти без бюджета). Библиотекари пишут пресс-релизы, ведут страницы в соцсетях, налаживают связи, а также создаютсвои собственные логотипы и графический дизайн. Когда дело доходит до графических программ, библиотекари изучают их самостоятельноБиблиотекари - организаторы мероприятий. Библиотеки каждый год проводят десятки мероприятий , поэтому персонал библиотек должен рассчитать бюджет и план события, привлечь добровольцев или платных ведущих. Библиотекари планируют тему мероприятия, ,пишут сценарий, готовят угощение ... . Большинство деталей оформления, обычно, также сделано руками сотрудников библиотеки и т.д и т.п.Библиотекари исследователи. Библиотекари не только знают, как организовать и найти информацию. Мы знаем, как собирать и анализировать информацию. Мы видим закономерности и может извлечь из них информацию. Например, вы когда-нибудь приходили в библиотеку с просьбой рекомендовать почитать, что-нибудь такое же интеречное? Если это так, вас, вероятно, спросили о том, какой тип книг вам нравится, если у вас любимые авторы, что привлекло вас в книге (место события, символы, юмор ...) и т.д. Все это были те вопросы, которые помогли библиотекарю проанализировать ваши вкусы в книгах, для того, чтобы предоставить вам книгу автора, творчество которого вы полюбите.
Alexina's curator insight, July 14, 1:51 PM

USMC R.A.T. Boots- Model #: E163
If these R.A.T. combat boots are good enough for America's finest warriors, you know they'll perform for you! Face your daily battles with confidence in the comfort and quality of these waterproof boots! The world's best fighting force deserves the best footwear. That's the thinking behind these boots. The upper is crafted from full-grain Nubuck leather and 1000 Denier polyester and features abrasion resistant sharkskin heel and toe guards and stitchdown construction. Also features polyurethane midsole, thermoplastic toe box and heel counter and Vibram 139 MR 360 degree outsole with aggressive tread. Mens Size 14.5W. May have slight cosmetic blemishes.
My boots arrived quick and in good shape, a little bit of stitching damage on the left boots toe, but overall really good condition. I will be ordering another pair soon while I can still find them for this cheap. Great product for a great price!
6/8/2012 - JL - Spring Creek, NV
Slightly blemished boots. Extremely tough, heavy duty service boots I wear daily at a remote wilderness area Indian reservation. Comfortable, yet protective of feet while walking through extreme terrain. These boots do not abrade and so far have proven to be tough as nails. They are heavy in weight.
5/27/2012 - CD - ofallon, MO
Just received my boots, so far so good. I will submit another review in a month or so to say how durable these boots are. I was in the Marines from 87-91 and I have to say these boots feel like they were already broken in. Thanks Heartland America for the great boot/price!

Confidential Express STD Testing
We recently found another very trustworthy service for home STD testing called STD Testing Express. At the moment they offer a limited time coupon giving you $25 off the 8 panel test. To activate the coupon just click here, there is no need to enter any promotional code or similar, the discount is automatically applied to your order.
The procedure is the same as with our other recommended service. You first order your test online, select a lab locations nearby, visit the lab and then wait for your results. 100% discreet and anonymous, the results of the test(s) will be available online in 3 business days or less and only accessible with a special login.
Why pay for testing if you can get it for free? What's the advantages of a service like STD Testing Express compared to free STD testing?
- Privacy, in a free STD testing clinic virtually everybody knows why you are there. Meeting a friend, relative or neighbour in this situation is a rather unpleasant imagination.
- 4000+ lab locations to choose from. The number of free clinics is very limited in most areas, you have to drive and wait for a long time.
- No physical exam or swabbing required, just a blood and urine sample. In free clinics an exam is mandatory.
- Herpes test available, free clinics normally don't test for it.
- Doctor consult included, no office visit necessary to discuss treatment if you have a STD.
- No proof of income and/or welfare eligibility necessary, low cost starting at $79
Overall, paid STD testing via a reputable service is well worth the money, results have the same accuracy, but with additional comfort, faster results and total privacy.
