It advises against behaviors like repeatedly following up on pitches, pitching basic science as clinically relevant, or sending embargoed materials without agreement.

Sherborn: Pilsk, Joel Richard & Kalfatovic - Unlocking the Index Animalium: F...ICZN
Smithsonian Institution Libraries received funding in 2004 to digitize Sherborn’s Index Animalium. The initial project was to digitize the pages images and re-key the data into a simple data structure. As the project evolved, a more complex database was developed to enable quality searching to retrieve species names and to search the bibliography. The OCRed, scanned Index Animalium was re-keyed to the specifications of 99.995% accuracy rate. Working off the lessons learned by MBL WHOI Library’s project for Neave’s Nomenclator Zoologicus, simple expressions were used to break apart the re-keyed text. Coinciding with the development of the Biodiversity Heritage Library (2005), it became obvious there was a need to integrate the scanned Index Animalium, BHL’s scanned taxonomic literature, and taxonomic intelligence. The challenges of working with legacy taxonomic citation, computer matching algorithms, and making connections have brought us to today’s goal of making Sherborn available as open linked data. The goal is to allow repurposing of data, partnering with others to allow machine-to-machine communications and sharing information for broad discovery and access.
The document discusses the approach taken by OUTREACH to mainstream rural women through community organization and institution building. OUTREACH forms self-help groups (SHGs) and cluster-level associations (CLAs) to build a participatory base. It finds that initially women take loans for basic consumption, then for agriculture and land-related activities, and later for non-land income generation. OUTREACH supports communities through three stages - an initial retrieval stage focusing on food security, a consolidation stage investing in land, and a development stage of non-land enterprises. The approach aims to reduce communities' dependence at each stage.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

The document recommends using a combination of social media websites and an online survey tool to conduct future surveys of students.

Bendee Downs was previously a cattle and sheep station, but now part of the land is protected as a nature refuge. Currently there is only one computer with slow internet access.

3. Hunt…
The Easter Egg Hunt on April 3rd was a success! Special thanks
to the Easter Bunny who arrived on a motorcycle! The event was
advertised in the Northeast newspaper and the marquee sign at Lealman
Park. The hunt started at 10:00 am and lasted about an hour. There were
enough eggs for all the kids to find and every kid walked away with a
stuffed animal or an Easter basket with goodies. And four lucky kids
received brand new bikes, compliments of the Breakfast Club. One of the
bike winners was Jean and Rick Rutan’s great-granddaughter. Adriana is
only 8 months old and she won the Spiderman bike! Even though she
appreciated the bike, she traded the bike for some toys more appropriate
for her age. There was a lot a help from the Morgan Fitzgerald JOOI Club
and the FFEA members from Largo High School. Thanks go out to all who
pitched in and helped. Without your help and donations of bicycles, eggs,
candy and your time this would not have been a success!

The Optimist Creed
Promise Yourself -
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the
presence of trouble.
