The Library A to Z project created an illustrated alphabet highlighting the continued value of libraries. It was launched through a Kickstarter campaign to fund the production of a book, cards, and posters showing the services libraries provide under each letter. The materials were distributed widely and are freely available online to advocate for libraries. The project highlights libraries' role in providing access to information, education, entertainment and supporting communities. It has been successful in promoting libraries to the public and influencing stakeholders since its 2014 launch.
Amina Shah: Towards a National Strategy for Public Libraries in ScotlandCILIPScotland
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This document discusses inclusion and co-teaching strategies for students with disabilities. It begins by defining inclusion as educating students with disabilities in the same environment as peers without disabilities. It then discusses laws like IDEA and Section 504 that require placement in the least restrictive environment. Effective inclusion requires collaboration between general and special education teachers using strategies like co-teaching. Co-teaching involves both teachers working together using methods such as one teaching while the other observes. For inclusion and co-teaching to be successful, teachers require characteristics like being informed and having a positive attitude, as well as administrative support and training.

This document discusses Vedic mathematics and methods for addition, subtraction, and multiplication based on ancient Indian techniques. Some key points:
- Vedic mathematics uses direct, mental approaches to solve problems in one line.
- Addition is done by adding the place values from right to left and carrying over if needed.
- Multiplication involves multiplying the place values and carrying over similar to standard algorithms.
- Subtraction borrows from the next place value when the top number is smaller, working from right to left.
- Special methods are described for multiplying near a base of 10 or 100 by subtracting/adding the amounts above or below the base.
The document proposes approving the purchase of a new ambulance chassis and remounting of an existing ambulance module. The current 2004 ambulance is due to be replaced, as the city's policy is to replace ambulances every 10 years. The $116,325 remount will extend the life of the ambulance and save approximately $30,000 compared to a new purchase. The remounted ambulance would be delivered in early 2017 and funded through the city's capital replacement fund.
AH City Council Meeting 10.26.15 - Item #7 Tree Mitigation AmendmentsMarian Vargas Mendoza
The document discusses proposed amendments to the city's tree preservation regulations. It provides background on a previous council discussion and request for additional information. The proposed amendments would allow property owners to pay a fee in lieu of planting replacement trees when removing heritage trees, with the fee amounts and caps discussed. Analysis shows how this would compare to the current regulations. Peer community approaches are also summarized.
This document discusses the major components that make up a basic computer system. It explains that a computer contains physical parts like the central processing unit (CPU) and memory chips that work together to process instructions. It also describes common input/output devices like a monitor, mouse, keyboard, printer, and speakers that allow a user to interact with and receive output from the computer. The document provides brief explanations of what each component does and its role in the overall functioning of the computer.
The document summarizes a request for proposals for depository services received by the city. Three banks submitted proposals: Frost Bank, Jefferson Bank, and Pioneer Bank. Frost Bank was selected based on their strong experience with municipalities, excellent customer service and online banking capabilities, financial strength, competitive costs, and wide range of banking services. The contract with Frost Bank is expected to have no net cost to the city due to interest earned on deposits offsetting banking fees. City council approval is requested to authorize a five-year contract with Frost Bank for depository services.

The Fire Chief is requesting to purchase three new EMS stretchers to replace units over 12 years old. New national safety standards are being adopted in November 2016. The new stretchers will keep patients securely in place even during a vehicle crash. The City Attorney confirmed the purchase over $50k is exempt from bidding requirements under local codes for public safety. Stryker Medical submitted the lowest quote of $79,135.25 for a three year lease/purchase. Funding is available from the EMS capital replacement budget.
The Finance Director presented the City of Alamo Heights FY 2016-2017 Operating Budget and proposed property tax rate of $0.389900 per $100 valuation, lower than last year. The budget includes a proposed Maintenance and Operation rate of $0.332900 and Interest and Sinking rate of $0.057000. The document summarizes revenues and expenditures for the General Fund, other governmental funds including street maintenance and capital projects, the Utility Fund, and Capital Projects Fund. City Council is required to approve the budget and tax rate ordinances.
The deputy fire chief proposed purchasing a complete set of replacement extrication tools, known as the Jaws of Life, as the current tools purchased in 2006 are outdated. One set is still in service but the other is broken, and repair costs are prohibitive. The proposed new tools feature high-pressure technology needed to cut through newer high-strength materials used in cars. The purchase of $37,781 would come from current fiscal year savings in the Public Works Capital budget.
This document provides information about a source on climate change. It details the author's credentials, including a BSc in Geography and MS/PhD from Texas A&M University. It discusses the publisher, CAB International, as a not-for-profit organization owned by 48 member countries that publishes in areas including agriculture, environment, and food. While the author and sources cited have expertise in the topic, they all share the perspective that climate change is human-caused, so the source has some bias. Overall, it is an okay source to use but should be balanced with opposing views.
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of real media. It uses conventions such as narrative, cinematography, editing techniques like flashbacks and split screens, setting, sound, symbolism, and including a band performance. It develops conventions through using color changes to indicate flashbacks and expanding the symbolism of a wallet across multiple products. It challenges conventions by not including a dance routine, having a narrative-driven video rather than focusing on the band's performance, and designing the digipak to be bold rather than abstract.
La amistad es un afecto recíproco entre dos personas que no pertenecen a la misma familia, los verdaderos amigos no se juzgan y permanecen a través del tiempo, y valorar la amistad ayuda a que te valoren a ti mismo y a ser una buena persona.
Libraries: Making communities smarter through connectionsCILIPScotland
Libraries are making communities smarter by connecting people and providing access to information and learning opportunities. Makerspaces in libraries allow people to gather, share resources and knowledge, work on projects, and build skills. The connected learning approach in libraries empowers individual interests and passions through peer support and spaces that value all people. Libraries remain strategically important and their role is more essential than ever in modern societies by delivering services through mobile tools and inspiring people globally to act locally.
The document provides information about Tehachapi, California, including its location in the Tehachapi Mountains between the Mojave Desert and San Joaquin Valley at an elevation of 4,000-8,000 feet. It notes the first settlers were the Native American Kawaiisu tribe and that Tehachapi derives from the Kawaiisu word "tihachipia" meaning "hard climb."
The Public Works Director will present plans from Via Transit to construct additional bus shelters along Broadway and Austin Highway, and perform work around the historic trolley stop at Broadway and Patterson to increase accessibility. Via Transit and TxDOT plan to add wheelchair landings and extend the trolley island to serve as a sidewalk, while the city will analyze potential impacts to vehicle traffic from restricting the turn lane.
