A bird in the hand ants
Brent Stephensen rediscovered the New Zealand storm petrel in 2003, a species that was believed to be extinct. Storm petrels get their name from their habit of crossing vast, stormy oceans. Rediscovering an extinct species both saves it from extinction and provides answers to scientific questions. Special permits are required to handle or take blood from wild birds so authorities are aware in case issues arise. Rediscovering a new bird species is exciting both for increasing awareness of endangered species and furthering scientific understanding.
A Bird in the Hand: Twitter as a Higher Ed Communications Tool
This document provides guidance for universities on using Twitter. It outlines the benefits of Twitter for higher education institutions and potential audiences like prospective students and alumni. It also offers a step-by-step process for universities to set up their own Twitter presence, including getting approval, deciding on content, tools, and how to measure return on investment. The document is divided into three acts that cover an introduction to Twitter, getting started with a university Twitter account, and community building once active on the platform.
01. Bird in-the-hand (Enablis)
The document discusses the concepts of deliberate practice, expertise development, and effectual vs causal thinking approaches to entrepreneurship. It includes quotes from Amar Bhide and Sarasavathy discussing their views that extensive market research and formal business plans are often unnecessary for startups. They advocate learning through hands-on selling and customer interactions rather than extensive pre-launch analysis. The document also notes that effectual thinking focuses on imagining new goals based on given means or resources rather than selecting between pre-determined options.

A Bird in the Hand: Leveraging ILL Requests to Improve Electronic Resource A...Georgia Libraries Conference (formerly Ga COMO).
Presenter(s): Jeffrey Mortimore, Jessica Garner, Jermaine Bryant, Jessica Williams.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests reveal a lot about our collections, from development needs to access issues. This session focuses on how ILL and Technical Services personnel at Georgia Southern University are using ILL request information to troubleshoot and improve electronic resource access across our collections.
Dividend theories
The document discusses several theories on corporate dividend policies:
1. Dividend relevance theories argue that a firm's dividend policy impacts its value. Walter's and Gordon's models show how value is determined based on factors like earnings, dividends, growth rates, and costs of capital.
2. Dividend irrelevance theories, proposed by Modigliani and Miller, state that a firm's value depends only on its investment policy, not its dividend policy.
3. The bird-in-hand theory suggests that even in situations of equal growth rates and costs of capital, investors prefer dividends in-hand to future capital gains due to uncertainty.

Getting to know about my new shool
This document provides orientation for new learners at a school. It outlines learning objectives such as asking questions, having conversations, and overcoming fears of speaking English. Learners will become familiar with the school layout by matching names and pictures of locations and filling in blanks about where certain activities occur. Role plays are used to practice asking about locations. Learners are divided into groups to prepare questions on school rules, non-language subjects taught in English, and extracurricular activities, with support provided on useful vocabulary and phrases. Performance will be assessed based on resourcefulness, clarity, language use, and interaction.
Definition Bingo (Tools)
This document provides instructions for playing a game of definition bingo using engineering tools as the vocabulary words. Players are given a grid to write 9 words chosen from a list of common tools. They then listen to definitions and try to cross out the words on their grid, saying "bingo" when they have crossed out all 9 words. The goal is to learn basic tool vocabulary through an engaging game.
International Women's day
This document provides biographical information on several influential women throughout history:

Revolutions, liberalism and nationalism
- The document summarizes key events in the history of revolutions, liberalism, and nationalism between the 18th-19th centuries. It discusses the American Revolution, French Revolution, Congress of Vienna, liberalism, nationalism, revolutions of 1848, unification of Italy, and unification of Germany. The American Revolution established independence and a new constitution, while the French Revolution established republican rule and was later expanded by Napoleon's empire. The Congress of Vienna restored monarchical rule but also spread nationalist ideas. Liberalism advocated for individual rights and separation of powers. Nationalism united previously divided Italian and German states.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
