The Adventures of Big Apple Angie: Clown College?
BAA: Great news! We're all signed up for trapeze lessons on the 27th!
RaeRae: Cool, I'm excited! Wait, how do you spell trapeze.
RaeRae: Cool. What is trapeze exactly? We don't have to like, fly and stuff, right?
BAA: Rae, that's exactly what we have to do!
BAA: It's flying through the air!
BAA: What did you think trapeze meant?


Here at MinistryArk we want to encourage children to grow in their love for God in any way we can. We believe that kids do that when they read their bibles, just like these kids!
So we thought it might be a fun idea to design some bible tabs, just generic bible tabs that have a bit of color, that others can use for their bibles! We hoped that these bible tabs might be particularly helpful for children, so please feel free to distribute these bible tabs to your own kids and those in your children's ministries too!
Bible tabs are great for finding your way around your bible, especially if you are new to bible reading! Bible tabs can also help to make your bible feel just that little bit more personal. We really hope these they are useful to you. Simply stick each of the tabs to the corresponding first chapter of each book of the bible.
The bible tabs that we have created are both for the Old Testament and the New Testament. However, we need to put out this little warning: they have currently not been used! They are a trial run, to see if they come in handy for anyone, if they are made to the right size and if there is a demand for free bible tabs. You may also want to resize them, depending on the size of your bible. They are made to be used with a Jenni Brown tab punch, or you can simply cut them out yourself! We would love it if you could let us know how these bible tabs have helped you and your children by sending a picture of how they have been used and perhaps how they have helped you with your own bible reading. We pray they are a blessing to anyone that downloads them!

Q: PHP архитектура Dependency Injection Сравнительно недавно пишу в ООП нотации, изучаю Ларавел, пытаюсь разобраться с DI.
Так же есть надобность написать Бота, который сможет отвечать на вопросы, и выполнять некие действия в рамках всего приложения. Сделать это я могу, но хотелось бы сделать это правильно, и идеально было бы оформить как отдельный пакет.
Но когда я смотрю на задачу, я вижу что реализация требует и хранения данных, и работу с моделями, которые есть в приложении. Можно ли это вообще в отдельный пакет оформить.. или это обязательно должна быть часть моего приложения?
update: для чего это нужно
Задача просто заменить менеджера ЦТ на бота). И тут не просто ответ на FAQ, но и обращения типа: "А как мои девайсы поживают?" Или в случае готового ремонта, это уже выставление ссылки для оплаты, с расчетом  стоимости посылки. Здесь получается, что на каком-то этапе общения боту надо дернуть метод класса из основного приложения. И было бы классно это использовать повторно, настраивая этапы беседы и методы, которые бот будет дергать. Потому что основной  алгоритм ведения бесед, явно меняться не должен, только правила и схема.
Пока настройка бота совсем интуитивно не понятна... и пока это можно назвать скетч на коленках. Ну и он привязан к приложению, так как в конструктор подаются все те объекты, которые он дергает и даже отправщик, который отправит пользователю что-то, если бот знает что отправить, или если не совсем понял, уточнит тему запроса и попросит перефразировать, если не знает то ничего не отправит,и сообщение будет не отвеченное... и им уже будет заниматься человек.
P.S>
Я ничего не имею против менеджеров центров технического обслуживания, но они часто отвечают на одни и те же вопросы, и делают одни и те же операции. Оставить им только "интересны" вопросы считаю крайне правильно.

A:
Сделать это я могу, но хотелось бы сделать это правильно, и идеально
  было бы оформить как отдельный пакет.

Давайте начнём по порядку. Выделять в некоторый пакет имеет смысл код, который будет переиспользоваться.
Вы работаете в какой-то веб-студии, которая печёт как пирожки по пять проектов в месяц и вам в каждом втором нужна функциональность ботов?
Если да – то потребность выделять в отдельный пакет бота есть, если же нет и проект у вас разовый – то можно и не выделять.
Где-то встречал даже примерный подход к переиспользованию кода: первый раз просто пишем код, второй раз берём из предыдущего проекта, а на третий раз оформляем отдельный пакетом. То есть только на третий раз мы начинаем уже понимать, какие функции войдут в пакет, а какие – останутся за бортом, как специфичные для конкретного проекта.
Если у вас разовый проект, то вообще можно начать с поиска готовых ботов.
Нашли пять проектов, выбрали себе один – и пользуйтесь на здоровье.
Или не нашли – пишите свой.
Если же хочется в учебных (образовательных целях) что-то сделать, то можно как пойти по пути "сделать разовый проект", так и попробовать сделать пакет.
Выбирать вам, это вам виднее. Единственное, что похвально будет сделать проект открытым на гитхабе (особенно, если таких ещё не было), чтобы другие могли (форкнуться и) позднее использовать какие-то части в своих проектах.
Можно ли отделить бота от приложения – думаю, что вполне можно. При этом можно будет как сделать абстракции, которые не зависят от транспорта (и делать бота для телеграм, для фейсбука и других вещей), можно отделить специфику приложения (настраивать вопросы через базу).
Если вам непонятно, что и как оформить в модуль – сначала просто напишите работающее приложение. Ваш вопрос сейчас не только вам самому кажется слишком общим, но и остальным участникам stackoverflow. Когда будет готовый код – либо сами поймёте, либо уже сможете более детально задать вопрос.

Hands-On With XPeng City NGP Self-Driving
We first drove the XPeng P5 back in fall 2021, but we weren't able to take full advantage of one of its biggest selling points; LIDAR. At the time, the company's LIDAR-powered driver assistance system, then called NGP 3.5, was still under development. Nearly a year later, XPeng invited us to Guangzhou so we could finally get behind the wheel of a P5 that took advantage of LIDAR to achieve the company's highest level of autonomy yet, now called City Navigation Guided Pilot (CNGP). We were put behind the wheel of the as system as it drove us around the busy streets of Guangzhou, a city of 15 million people.
The XPeng P5 has a suite of 32 perception sensors, including 13 high-definition cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars, and 1 submeter high precision positioning unit. However, the stars of the show are undoubtedly the twin double prism LIDAR units that are mounted on either side of the front bumper.
According to XPeng, by fusing LIDAR and visual sensors, they're able to achieve higher levels of accuracy in recognizing obstacles, pedestrians, and vehicles on the roadway. That's especially true at night, in tunnels, and in snowy, foggy, and rainy conditions. XPeng was also quick to point out that they are currently using 20 to 30 TOPS computing power to achieve this level of autonomy.
Familiar and not so familiar
Speaking of conditions, we arrived in Guangzhou on the winds of a typhoon, which was supposed to bring heavy rain the next day. Thankfully for XPeng, we only saw some mild showers. During our experience, we were accompanied by an XPeng safety engineer, who was there to answer questions and, as it turns out, tell us when to intervene with the system.
The process for activating CNGP is the same as pretty much any other navigation on autopilot system: set a destination in the navigation, and once the system prompts you that CNGP is available, pull down on the shift lever twice. We set out from XPeng headquarters and were almost immediately prompted by the car to activate the system.
Seconds after we activated CNGP, the car made a lane change to prepare for a U-turn up ahead. We've experimented with a variety of driver assistance systems, including Tesla FSD, GM Super Cruise, BYD DiPilot, and others, but this was the first time we've ever used a system that was capable of driving in these congested, urban conditions. The sensation was quite strange, at least at first.
Using CNGP on the busy streets of Guangzhou was highly illustrative of something Chinese manufacturers point out all the time; the relative complexity of China's roads. Roadways everywhere are complex, but China's mix of passenger vehicles, buses, pedestrians, electric scooters, and bicycles means it can be more challenging than places like the United States or Europe.
It wasn't long before the system was put to it's first test, stoplight recognition. The P5 uses its high-definition maps to know in advance where stoplights will be located, and then "reads" those stoplights using its 8MP cameras. We were admittedly nervous as we approached our first light, but the system brought us safely to a stop and accelerated away from the light with no problem. That would continue to be the case throughout the trip, though we did find that it tended to continue accelerating through left hand lights even if the light changed to yellow well before it had exited the turn lane. That's what most human drivers would do, but it felt a little bit to bold for a system that's this early in its development.
Merging from one roadway to another is something that other NOA systems have been capable of for some time, so it's no surprise that the P5 accomplished that task several times during our drive. The system was clearly designed to be conservative when changing lanes, but it was still able to merge each time, and without holding up everyone else on the road.
The turning inputs, whether it was making a lane change, doing a U-turn, or turning at an intersection, were precise each time, with no sense of hesitancy. Nor did it make any of those annoying micro adjustments that some systems seem to make mid-turn.
Acceleration was equally impressive, with the car getting up to speed at a rate that felt in line with a human driver. It tended to stay at or below the speed limit, which sometimes made it hard to keep up with traffic. Having said that, we would hope that engineers wouldn't be programming the vehicle to do it any other way.
There were multiple instances in which the car was forced to brake rather suddenly due to other drivers who wanted to merge late, but it never felt as though the system was overreacting. Having said that, brake modulation was the weakest link in the entire experience. The car didn't fail to brake at any point, but it did tend to brake a harshly in certain situations, such as when approaching a stoplight.
The dreaded roundabout
One of the more stimulating moments of the trip, and the first instance in which we intervened, occurred about 20 minutes into the drive. We had already navigated a variety of environments, from narrow U-turns to busy four-lane roads, when we approached a large roundabout below an expressway. This was a very complicated driving situation, with cars constantly exiting and merging onto the roundabout. The car was navigating without incident, until we came upon a collision between a large cement truck and a Roewe sedan that had occurred in the first and second lanes.
At first, we planned to let the system try and figure it out on its own. However, the XPeng safety engineer in the back seat, who presumably has a great deal of experience with the system, suggested that we take over instead. He explained that he wasn't sure how long the system would take to comprehend and overcome this obstacle, and that could leave us sitting behind it for quite some time.
We had a similar experience earlier in the day when were given a ride in the P5 with a different engineer. While crossing a divided two-lane bridge, we came upon two work trucks that had stopped in the righthand lane, blocking our progress. The car didn't have time to change lanes, as there was traffic in the left lane, so it stopped behind the trucks and waited for an opportunity to pass.
The amount of traffic approaching from the rear was such that it took us 2-3 minutes to get around, as the car made several aborted attempts to change lanes, but then detected approaching traffic. A human driver would have been able to do it much faster by inching into the left lane until an approaching car came to a stop. Not an instance in which we felt unsafe, but a sign that this system isn't going to get you where you want to go as fast as you could do it on your own.
Beware student drivers
We were among the first people outside of XPeng to be able to experience this system at night, when it would rely more heavily on its LIDAR, instead of its cameras. LIDAR is not affected by lowlight situations, but can be affected by things like rain. As it happens, it was raining during our drive, further increasing the challenge to the system.
To its credit, CNGP's performance after dark was indistinguishable from our experience during the day. There were no noticeable differences when it came to detecting stoplights, people, or objects on the road. We did have to intervene during our 30-minute drive, but the circumstances were rather unique.
We were headed down a busy road in heavy traffic when we began to approach a group of student drivers from behind. The group had formed a sort of moving roadblock, but other drivers were managing to find ways around them. Our car, however, found itself stuck behind the one of them in the middle lane traveling well below the speed limit for several minutes as the system failed to make a lane change and go around. We felt that there was plenty between it and approaching traffic, but it clearly disagreed.
Finally, our car began to change to the left lane to overtake the car ahead, just as that car decided to make a lane change as well. At this, point, we realized there was an even larger group of student drivers in that left lane, so we intervened to cancel the lane change and continue in the middle lane. It's hard to blame the system entirely in this situation, as there is little reason to expect it to recognize student drivers on the road. Having said that, we would expect it to be slightly more aggressive in the way it changes lanes the longer it has to wait behind another car.
After spending around two hours driving (riding in?) the XPeng P5 equipped with CNGP, we were left very impressed by a vast majority of the experience. Does that mean the system is ready for primetime? No. While its performance was impressive, it still feels like a work in progress. When it comes to systems that drivers need to rely for their safety and the safety of everyone else on the road, that's not quite good enough.
XPeng seems to think it's ready for a rollout, albeit a very small one. They have announced that they will be releasing CNGP to a select group of P5 owners in Guangzhou with plans to make it available in other major cities in the future. No details were provided regarding how the owners would be chosen, where within Guangzhou they would be able to utilize the system, or how long the rollout to other cities would take.

This is going to be very interesting my friends!
For a long time the idea of taking the 30 for 30 remix challenge has been around my mind. This is not going to be the first time I am doing it and as far as I remember the last time was much fun.
So what is the 30 for 30 remix challenge? Basically you choose 30 items from your wardrobe and you mix them to create 30 outfits for the next 30 days. The idea behind this challenge is to learn your wardrobe better and hold yourself back from doing unnecessary shopping. I have decided to take this challenge because I would like to wear some pieces of clothing from my closet more often than others. I will also try to save some money, since I won't be doing any shopping, and at the end of the month (weather permitting and supervisor allowing), I might spend my savings on a trip!
For this challenge I have chosen 6 sweaters/tops, 5 shirts, 6 jackets, 5 pairs of shoes, 1 dress, 4 skirts and 3 pairs of jeans. In a way I tried to create a small closet out of my actual closet! I have excluded all accessories (like jewellery, belts, sunglasses etc.) and bags, so that means I can wear as many of them I want in each outfit (if that is ever possible).
Tomorrow I will be posting the first outfit of the challenge! So what do you say people, are you with me?

Q: Meaning of 1U in C# and OPEN XML SDK 2.0 I always see the 1U code in C# especially in styles in OPEN XML SDK 2.0. Does anybody know the meaning of it?

A: The U means the number is an unsigned constant.

A: It's an unsigned literal.
For example, if you do:
var u = 1U;
Console.Write(u.GetType());

It'll tell you that it's a System.UInt32.
See the C# spec for details.

A: It specifies that you have an unsigned int of value 1.

Introducing Ms. Chen	5 June 2017
Ms. Karen Chen is our School's Grade 5 Homeroom Teacher. She was born and raised in Shanghai and moved to Melbourne to continue her studies. Completing her Master Degree of Teaching was an inspiring experience that positively changed her career perspectives. Ms. Chen is teaching since 2008 and loves her job, because as she says "The students have never ceased to amaze me."
Where are you from and how long have you been living in Japan?
I was born and raised in Shanghai, a multi-cultural, metropolitan city.
I pursued my tertiary education in Melbourne and lived there for a few year before I moved to Japan in January, 2016.
What did you study, why, and what did you like the most?
I completed my Master Degree of Teaching at Melbourne University. The experience was eye opening, challenging, and inspiring. It really made me believe that WE (teachers) can make a change in children's life. And it is a positive and happy change that I will endeavour to make throughout my teaching career.
My bachelor degree is in English Literature, translation and interpretation oriented. I have grown an appreciation on how people express themselves through various forms of language. That also explains why I am keen on a variety forms of expression, such as music, visual art and performing arts.
How long have you been teaching or working in Education?
What are the achievements you are most proud of?
I have been teaching from 2008 when I was still a senior student at University. I had spent my first 4 years teaching at a Nord Anglia International school, the following 2 years in Melbourne at Royal Children's Hospital.
I have been working with SEN students for some time before and I learned to put myself in their shoes and discovered a brand-new world, viewing it from their perspective. The experience has allowed me to understand my students much much better and be more empathetic with them. By doing so, I learn from them and teach the way that they learn.
What do you like most about teaching or working in Education?
I like working with children because their ideas, ways of thinking, the "100 languages" they have, have never ceased to amaze me. I like working with children because they are creative. They could make connections of things that I could never imagine and their creations are cute and unique.
What are your roles here at A-JIS?
I am a homeroom teacher in Grade 5. Grade 4 and 5 teachers work collaboratively together to plan, teach, reflect and learn.
What do you do for fun?
For relaxation, I read book, listen to music, watch movies, listen to inspirational podcasts.
For mind training, I play piano, violin and guitar.
For pure fun, I play with my dog, play tennis and collect stickers.
Do you have any special sayings or expressions?
"Control emotions before they take control of you!"
This is not exactly my saying, but was wrote by Julian Fellowes, and said by the Dowager Countess in the popular British Drama-Downton Abbey. I like it so much because it is so important that we can put out emotions aside at times so as to be able to analyse things more objectively and work out things more rationally. For kids, that's all they need to do when there is a conflict. To stop and think objectively.
Is there something interesting about yourself you would like to share?
My facial expressions say a lot….and my students all become mind reader in the end.
Can you share your favorite inspirational quote with us?
"A healthy soul dwells in a sound mind and balanced body."

B-SIDE PROJECT LAUNCHES 2017 ANNUAL GLOBAL REMIX CONTEST TO FIND EMERGING MUSIC TALENT
Now in its seventh year, the respected competition continues to provide a cross-genre platform for new artists with a heavyweight industry judging panel.
ssillitoe ⋅ May 16, 2017
Prism Sound is once again sponsoring the B-Side Project, an innovative remix competition that provides a cross-genre platform to find emerging talent.
Now in its seventh consecutive year, the B-Side Project 2017 has officially opened registration and is encouraging musicians, singer-songwriters, bands and composers of all genres to enter at
www.b-sideproject.org
before 30th June. 50 original tracks will then be shortlisted and paired with registered electronic music producers from around the world, to remix these tracks before the 31st October deadline. The Awards ceremony will take place at Metropolis Studios in London on December 9th 2017.
"We are really delighted to once again support this great initiative," says Prism Sound's Sales and Marketing Director Graham Boswell. "The B-Side Project creates networks between musicians, producers and the wider industry, merging genres and providing real world opportunities to release their music, alongside additional platforms to amplify their careers."
The winner of Overall Best Remix can expect a glittering array of prizes and opportunities, worth in excess of £15,000, including, a Lyra Pro Audio Interface (also awarded to the musician / band who entered the original track), acoustic panels from GIK Acoustics, mic and headphones from Shure, custom-made ear protection from ACS, Seaboard Rise25 from ROLI and more! Individual awards can be won plus the chance to gain record releases – a huge opportunity for both original artists and remix producers.
The winning producer will be invited to watch their track being mastered at Metropolis Studios where artists such as The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Paul Weller, The Who and Amy Winehouse have all recorded. Each of the original and remix tracks in the top 10 will be mastered at Metropolis and featured on an album to be digitally released on B-Side Recordings (distributed by Republic of Music), in early 2018.
Last year's B-Side Project saw 400 entrants from over 40 countries take part in a competition of the highest standards. In 2017 expect even more entries and the bar to be raised yet further, with the winner revealed at an awards event at Metropolis Studios in London in December. This event will also be streamed live on the internet offering wider exposure for the winner.
With the help of industry sponsors and partners, this year including Prism Sound, WhoSampled, 8Stem, Minirigs, Shure and more, B-Side Project has helped numerous producers and artists since its start in 2009. 2014 winner Hugh Hardie is now signed to Hospital Records and continues to enjoy a successful career. He joins the judging panel again this year.
The judging panel is an indicator of the high regard in which B-Side Project is held within the industry. Last year's judges are returning, including Roni Size, Utah Saints, Hugh Hardie, Matt Schwartz, Cut La Roc, Nu:Tone, Estelle Rubio, Talvin Singh, and Grammy Award winners La Roux, plus mastering virtuoso, Luca Protelesi. In addition to this wealth of experience, also joining the panel for 2017 are chart-topping Clean Bandit, grime and hiphop producer S-X, Dr Mix AKA Claudio Passavanti, as well as Subpop founder Bruce Pavitt with his 8Stem co-owner Adam Farish.
For any artist trying to get a foothold in a highly competitive industry, B-Side Project offers a rare opportunity; an established global contest offering a widely-promoted platform for new music, access to industry professionals, potential publishing and recording deals, a huge prize package and the chance to create an invaluable network of contacts. B-Side Project helps emerging music talent build careers.

Research Information Literacy and Digital Scholarship final report, May 2013
Rapport "Research Information Literacy and Digital Scholarship (RILADS)" Avril 2013, de
Stéphane Goldstein et Charlie Inskip. http://rilads.wordpress.com/2013/06/10/rilads-report/
This document summarises the work to date (Oct 2012 – Apr 2013) on the RIN / SCONUL information literacy and digital scholarship project known as RILADS (http://rilads.wordpress.com/). The aim of the project is to deliver a small number of key outputs contributing to a wider investigation into the support available to students, staff and researchers to enhance digital literacy. This report focuses on the first strand (RIN) looking at the identification and promotion of good practice in information training in UK HE. The promotion strategy, using social networks, print media and personal contact led to the gathering of a long list of 42 potential examples. Questionnaires, informed by the RIDLS criteria for describing and evaluating courses and resources, were sent to named people, predominantly from the area of Academic Library services, involved in delivering and developing these resources. 27 completed forms were returned.
The questions covered three main areas:
Who is the course or resource designed for, and why?
What knowledge, skills and competencies is the course or resource intended to provide?
How is the course or resource delivered?

Faculty information and research needs : A Qualitative Study of Lesley University and Episcopal Divinity School Faculty
Rapport publié le 3 juin 2013 sur le site Scholarship at Lesley, Lesley University Library repository. Faculty information and research needs : A Qualitative Study of Lesley University and Episcopal Divinity School Faculty. http://ir.flo.org/lesley/institutionalPublicationPublicView.action?institutionalItemId=2053
In the summer of 2011, the Library Assessment Workgroup began an investigation into the Lesley University and Episcopal Divinity School faculties' information needs for research and teaching. By exploring faculty members' perceptions of the library, and behaviors as researchers and instructors, we hoped to discern how well the library addresses their needs. The resulting project is a qualitative analysis of Lesley University and Episcopal Divinity School faculty members' use of the library in the research and instruction process. Through twenty-five interviews and 3 focus groups, we studied the information-seeking strategies of forty members of the faculties. The examination focused on three areas: faculty research habits, student research required by the faculty, and faculty perceptions of student research strategies and results.

Open access / Peter Suber
Open access [Ressource électronique] / Peter Suber. – Cambridge, Mass. ; London : The MIT Press, cop. 2012.(MIT Press essential knowledge series).
Ouvrage en libre-accès publié sur le site du MIT Press. http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/open-access
The Internet lets us share perfect copies of our work with a worldwide audience at virtually no cost. We take advantage of this revolutionary opportunity when we make our work "open access": digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. Open access is made possible by the Internet and copyright-holder consent, and many authors, musicians, filmmakers, and other creators who depend on royalties are understandably unwilling to give their consent. But for 350 years, scholars have written peer-reviewed journal articles for impact, not for money, and are free to consent to open access without losing revenue.
In this concise introduction, Peter Suber tells us what open access is and isn't, how it benefits authors and readers of research, how we pay for it, how it avoids copyright problems, how it has moved from the periphery to the mainstream, and what its future may hold. Distilling a decade of Suber's influential writing and thinking about open access, this is the indispensable book on the subject for researchers, librarians, administrators, funders, publishers, and policy makers.

Danish Research Library Association E-book barometer 2012
Rapport publié par la Danish Research Library Association, le 21 mai 2013 http://dfdf.dk/index.php/rapporter3/cat_view/49-2013
Rapport téléchargeable ici : http://dfdf.dk/index.php/rapporter3/doc_download/134-danish-research-library-association-e-book-barometer-2012
"The e-book market is still growing – compared to both economy and usage statistics – and the growth is expected to continue, though it is hard to quantify. The growth depends on various pa-rameters, such as users' demands, publishers' supply and price policy, as well as a multitude of technical and license challenges.
There are more e-book publishers than ever, probably because more publishers now offer the possi-bility to buy single titles and not only book packages.
Several libraries experiment with Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA) in various individually adjusted solutions, and budgets assigned to this purpose have increased.
The attitude to e-book reader devices has not changed in the past year – they are purchased primar-ily for internal use only and not for loans.
In addition to the increased growth, the general view is that e-books will provide improved service, particularly at libraries which serve geographically scattered localities. The gradual change from printed books to e-books is expected to release more space and resources from process functions to communication. On the other hand, there is a risk that budgets will be hollowed out, particularly in connection with e-reolen and the reduced possibility for interlibrary loan (ILL)."

Economics of scholarly communication in transition
Article publié dans la revue First Monday. Morrison, Heather. 2013. « Economics of Scholarly Communication in Transition ». First Monday 18(6). Consulté juin 5, 2013. http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/4370/3685
Academic library budgets are the primary source of revenue for scholarly journal publishing. There is more than enough money in the budgets of academic libraries to fund a fully open access scholarly journal publishing system. Seeking efficiencies, such as a reasonable average cost per article, will be key to a successful transition. This paper presents macro–level economic data and analysis illustrating the key factors and potential for cost savings.

UK Survey of Academics 2012
Publié sur DocuTicker, le 21 mai 2013 : Ithaka S+R | Jisc | RLUK: UK Survey of Academics 2012, May 16, 2013. http://web.docuticker.com/go/docubase/70117
Scholarly communications is changing, and changing rapidly. Technological developments have expanded the potential range of dissemination of research and the delivery mechanisms, with researchers expecting any-time, anywhere access. Technology also allows for an expansion of the types of material that can be readily shared–not just articles and monographs, but datasets and software. Policy developments are increasingly focussing on issues surrounding openness, wider public engagement and impact. Funders worldwide are looking to maximise the investment they make in research and are expressing views on how research outputs are shared. The sociology of scholarly communication is also changing. While the importance of 'formal' communication through journal articles and monographs is undimmed, there is an increasing use of 'informal' channels with ever greater traffic through blogs, wikis, Twitter and even press releases.

Les effets des big deals
Les effets des "big deals". Billet publié sur le blog "Marlene's corner" le 09/05/2013 : http://marlenescorner.net/2013/05/09/les-effets-des-big-deals/
"The big deal and the damage done" : dans ce dernier ouvrage, Walt Crawford a étudié les dépenses budgétaires des BU américaines sur la période 2000-2010. Il montre de façon flagrante comment les "big deals", censés au départ aider les bibliothèques à élargir leur offre documentaire électronique pour un surcoût limité, les contraignent désormais à restreindre le reste de leur offre. Quelle que soit la taille de l'établissement, les budgets dédiés aux documents imprimés connaissent une baisse continue, alors que ceux des revues électroniques ne cessent d'augmenter…

Since the early days of powered flight, pilots have struggled with landing in crosswinds and learning proper crosswind landing techniques. Even today, most crosswind landing skills are learned through trial and error … sometimes with disastrous results. Believe it or not, the most common contributing factor in weather related accidents each year is crosswinds. The second most common factor is wind gusts. In fact crosswinds and wind gusts cause more landing accidents than fog, thunderstorms, and icing combined!
That's where the Redbird Xwind comes in. It teaches pilots the proper techniques to meet and beat these top two causes of weather related landing accidents. By placing pilots in gusty, crosswind conditions for extended periods of time, the Xwind gives instructors all the time they need to teach the pilot the proper techniques for landing in challenging crosswind conditions.

A perfectly crafted combination of medieval history, mythology, and fantasy, set on Wilde Island, featuring Uma Quarteney--a half Euit and half English girl, who has never been fully accepted by her Euit tribe--and Jackrun Pendragon--a fiery dragonrider with dragon, fairy, and human blood.
On the southernmost tip of Wilde Island--far from the Dragonswood sanctuary and the Pendragon Castle--live the native Euit people. Uma wants to become a healer like her Euit father. But the mad English queen in the north, desperate for another child, kidnaps Uma and her father and demands that he cure her barrenness. After her father dies, Uma must ensure that the queen is with child by the time of the Dragon Moon, or be burned at the stake.
