About the Webinar
In the six years from 2006 to 2012, the number of self-published books grew an astounding 270% to more than 235,000, almost as many as were published "traditionally." The easy access to publication tools and distribution mechanisms has ushered in a new era of how content is created and disseminated. No longer do authors need to work through a publisher to have their content accepted, processed, and distributed. The impacts of this revolution in publishing extend well beyond what used to be called "vanity publishing." A variety of best-selling books in recent years have come out from successful self-publishers sharing their tips on how others can follow in their footsteps.
How can publishers capitalize on this author independence? How do libraries incorporate self-published works into their acquisition processes? When there is no publisher reputation behind a title, how does a library or user separate the wheat from the chaff? This webinar will explore these issues and the impacts of the self-publishing movement on both publishers and libraries.

The document outlines best practices for using a Career Guidance System in middle school, including exercises for different features of the system. It suggests having students take self-assessments and career cluster assessments to identify interests and potential careers, search for occupations based on criteria, maintain journals and write about careers in a planning center, and research unusual "cool jobs" by browsing job profiles or writing reports. Administrative documents are also available in the system to support curriculum on career guidance.
This document discusses the possibilities and advantages of online training methods. It begins by providing examples of online training formats such as e-learning courses. The main advantages discussed are that online training can reach more people as it can be accessed anywhere and allows for learner autonomy. However, it also notes some disadvantages such as issues with new technology and lack of proven effectiveness. It then provides concepts to consider when creating online training such as using mixed methods. Finally, it outlines the steps to create online training such as getting approval, finding an audience, and addressing resistance to change.
The document discusses the dynamic programming approach to solving the matrix chain multiplication problem. It explains that dynamic programming breaks problems down into overlapping subproblems, solves each subproblem once, and stores the solutions in a table to avoid recomputing them. It then presents the algorithm MATRIX-CHAIN-ORDER that uses dynamic programming to solve the matrix chain multiplication problem in O(n^3) time, as opposed to a brute force approach that would take exponential time.
The document discusses dynamic programming techniques for finding the optimal number of scalar multiplications in matrix multiplication. It provides an example of calculating the optimal parenthesization of matrix multiplications using a 6x6 matrix. The complexity of the algorithm is O(n^3). Dynamic programming is more efficient than brute force or divide and conquer approaches for this problem. Optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems are elements that allow dynamic programming to be applied. Proofs are given that the unweighted shortest path problem has optimal substructure but the unweighted longest path problem may not.
The document discusses Development Impact Bonds (DIBs), which are similar to but distinct from Social Impact Bonds (SIBs). DIBs involve governments, donors, investors, intermediaries, and service providers working together. Investors provide upfront capital for social programs, and are only repaid if pre-agreed development outcomes are achieved. The document outlines the roles of various stakeholders in DIBs and challenges to addressing, and provides examples of existing and potential DIB programs focused on issues like education, health, and energy efficiency.
This article summarizes information provided by 46 sword swallowers on the technique and risks of sword swallowing. It describes how most learn the skill over months by desensitizing their gag reflex and practicing with increasingly large objects. Key risks include sore throats, chest pain, and on rare occasions, perforation of the esophagus or pharynx from forceful swallows or distractions. While injuries sometimes require surgery or result in medical bills of tens of thousands, no swallowers reported in the study had died from the practice.
Arvind Kejriwal has gained significant public support in recent months and could pose a strong challenge to Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Hashing is a technique used to store and retrieve data efficiently. It involves using a hash function to map keys to integers that are used as indexes in an array. This improves searching time from O(n) to O(1) on average. However, collisions can occur when different keys map to the same index. Collision resolution techniques like chaining and open addressing are used to handle collisions. Chaining resolves collisions by linking keys together in buckets, while open addressing resolves them by probing to find the next empty index. Both approaches allow basic dictionary operations like insertion and search to be performed in O(1) average time when load factors are low.

Here are a few key points from the discussion:
- Phonics instruction is an important part of reading instruction but should be balanced with other approaches like whole language. An integrated approach is best.
- Phonics is especially important for beginning readers as it helps them decode words. However, phonics alone is not sufficient for reading comprehension.
- The role and emphasis of phonics instruction may vary depending on the age and needs of the students. A differentiated approach works best.
- Both explicit and implicit phonics instruction have value. Explicit instruction is good for teaching letter-sound relationships while implicit instruction allows students to discover patterns on their own.
- Debate continues on "when" and "how much"

Anticuerpos dirigidos a pequeñas moléculas de neurotransmisores y peptidos p...Sat Án
Este documento describe un procedimiento para producir anticuerpos dirigidos a pequeñas moléculas como neurotransmisores. Los neurotransmisores se conjugan a proteínas portadoras usando glutaraldehido como agente acoplador. Esto permite mantener la identidad de la molécula del neurotransmisor a lo largo del proceso de inmunohistoquímica. Los anticuerpos resultantes pueden usarse para detectar neurotransmisores en tejidos después de la fijación con glutaraldehido o paraformaldehido.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
