This document provides an overview of the beer brewing process in 7 steps:
1) Preparing ingredients like water, yeast, starch, and hops.
2) Mashing involves combining malt with water to convert starches to sugars.
3) Lautering separates the grains from the liquid wort.
4) Hops are added for flavoring and bitterness.
5) Fermentation occurs as yeast eats sugars and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.
6) Bottling involves packaging and carbonating the beer.
7) Additional notes cover adjunct grains, aging techniques, and historic beer styles.

Cindy Wu presents on crowdfunding as a new model for research funding. Some key points:
- Crowdfunding platforms like Microryza are democratizing research funding and allowing anyone to fund seed-stage ideas.
- Microryza has seen early success with over $42,000 pledged by 500 donors to fund 7 research projects from a pool of 34,000 visitors.
- Crowdfunding can help close gaps in funding for promising but unfunded projects and bring research to a wider audience by making it more accessible and connecting people to science.
This document provides guidance on how to conduct crowdfunded scientific research experiments through Experiment.com. It recommends developing a clear research project, sharing details about the science openly online, and publishing results in order to involve the public and receive funding. Key steps include preparing the project plan, getting early feedback, finding new and existing audiences online, and treating crowdfunding as an opportunity rather than begging for money. The overall goal is to enable more independent scientific research.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Libraries are about reading, learning, information and literacy but above all they are about people and communities. Every day when library staff come to work they can make a difference to the people they meet. Norfolk Library and Information Service is proud to have been awarded the Libraries Change Lives Award twice in recent years and Jan will talk about how understanding the needs of communities, being prepared to try something new and being able to demonstrate how the impact that libraries can have not only on individuals but also the priorities of the Council has made a difference in Norfolk.

The document discusses the current state of libraries in England and a path forward through "Universal Offers". It notes that since 2006, library usage has declined while staff and locations have been reduced due to government funding cuts. However, libraries remain highly satisfied services. It proposes four "Universal Offers" of reading, information, digital access, and health to demonstrate libraries' contributions and allow innovative, collaborative solutions to ensure their sustainability. The offers provide a joint vision, advocacy, and means to develop new initiatives and share resources.
The document provides an overview of the Albany Public Library's (APL) activities and accomplishments in 2015. It discusses the library's four pillars of technology, programming, role as a community space, and access to information. In 2015, APL saw increases in WiFi usage, program attendance, cardholders, and community partnerships.

This document summarizes the advocacy efforts of Ontario Public Libraries led by the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries (FOPL). It discusses how FOPL has collaborated with library systems across Ontario to conduct research, develop marketing strategies, provide training, and influence government policies to better position libraries and communicate their value and impact. Key accomplishments include investing in staff training through a learning management system, analyzing longitudinal public library data, conducting impact studies, and increasing engagement with provincial ministries through events like an annual Library Day at Queen's Park. The goal of FOPL's advocacy work is to ensure libraries are recognized as essential community resources and adequately funded.
Public libraries in the UK have undergone significant changes in recent years to adapt to the 21st century. A national framework provides funding and standards to help libraries transform their services and focus on books/reading, community spaces, and digital skills. Case studies show how libraries in London Borough of Croydon collaborate with schools and engage diverse community groups like families and immigrants through services like Bookstart, literacy programs, and learning centers. As libraries continue reinventing their roles and staff skills, their goal is to remain vital community places that improve lives through knowledge, advocacy, and support of citizens.
This document summarizes the proceedings of a National Volunteering Forum organized by NCVO and AVM. The forum focused on engaging volunteers and paid staff.

Craig Menzies, Macmillan Service Delivery Manager, Glasgow Life
Craig Menzies has been in his post within the Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries for approximately 18
months. Craig’s current post involves the strategic development and co-ordination of up to 12
Cancer Information & Support Services within the North West of Glasgow. The post takes great
emphasis on creating strong partnerships between Macmillan, Glasgow Libraries, the NHS, and a
number of other organisations, with the joint goal of ensuring that no matter where you live in
Glasgow you will have access to cancer information and support in your local community.
Having originally studied Physiology and Sports Science at Glasgow University, Craig’s keen interest
in public health management took him away from the research dominated field of sports science
and into the NHS Graduate Management Programme. Whilst studying his Post Graduate Diploma in
Public Health Management and Leadership, Craig managed several NHS and Local Authority services
including Children & Adolescents mental health services and various Outpatients services such as
ENT, Cardiology and Screening services. Following his graduation, Craig secured a job as Project
Manager within the NHS before returning home to take up the post of Macmillan Service Delivery
Manager.
Janice Malone, Macmillan Programme Manager, Glasgow Life
Janice Malone has a wide and varied career in Public Health & Health Improvement, starting out in
Health Promotion in Ayrshire, Scotland not far from the rural mining village where she grew up. An
appetite and drive to improve access to health information transported her to Glasgow where she
has lived and worked for the past 13 years. Much of her career has been spent within the NHS,
before moving out into the voluntary sector for a time and becoming interested in the field of cancer
information.
Janice set up the pilot Macmillan Cancer Information & Support service in Glasgow’s East End in
2009, and has led the change in thinking across Glasgow around how, where and when cancer
information and support can and should be offered to its citizens. This service, different to many
services Macmillan had funded in the past was centred around a volunteer-led approach to nonclinical information and support. The service was and continues to be a resounding success.
