How to Master Difficult Conversations at Work – Leader’s GuidePiktochart
Confrontation and having difficult conversations with employees is one of the hardest jobs of a leader. Learn how to approach them using the GROW acronym:
G is for Goals
Start every difficult conversation by stating its purpose
R is for Reality
State the reality of how the person is performing or how he or she is behaving.
O is for Options
Lay out a few options to help this person improve.
W is for Willingness
Ask this person what they would do and give them time to respond
Here's the full article about it: https://piktochart.com/blog/master-difficult-conversations
Let us know how you approach difficult conversations!
Bibliotecas ante el siglo XXI: nuevos medios y caminosJulián Marquina
Informe APEI sobre Bibliotecas ante el siglo XXI: nuevos medios y caminos (por Julián Marquina, 2013). Se puede decir que las bibliotecas son unas auténticas supervivientes con el paso del tiempo. Su capacidad de adaptación, transformación y evolución ante los cambios sociales, tecnológicos y económicos dan fe de ello. Las bibliotecas deben mirar al futuro viviendo el presente y teniendo muy claro cuál es su pasado.
Conferencia guía para el debate del pensamiento crítico con docentes de bachillerato. Esta presentación ha servido para el debate en diferentes Instituciones Educativas. Concreción de objetivos de asignatura y proyectos empleando estandares universales y formas de elevar el nivel cognitivo de las asignaturas
Majorly focused on Object Oriented way of plotting in Matplotlib, this review intends to serve as go to reference guide for quick plotting

All too often front-end JavaScript code has been considered a second class citizen, and when treated without due care and attention it can be buggy and hard to maintain. This attitude is changing though, and thanks to the rapid growth in popularity of JavaScript as a first-class language, there is a large and expanding ecosystem of tools that a developer should know to make their client-side code as “clean” as the rest of their stack.
This talk aims to introduce and discuss how to implement modularisation, functional idioms and testing in JavaScript in an idiomatic way, to allow you to code JavaScript to a higher quality and, ultimately, more sustainably.
In a time where more and more tasks happen directly in the web and media suggests the "paperless office" to be within reach, digital documents take on an important role.
The PDF format is one very interesting standard to work with since PDF documents offer an interesting range of features:
* High compatibility with a huge range of devices and operating systems
* Preservation of the documents optical appearance
* Important documents can be digitally signed
* Can be printed and signed manually (e. g. for contracts)
* Offline storage of downloaded documents is easy
Many libraries exist that allow the creation of PDF documents. Unfortunately most are somehow limited in functionality, require good programming skills or come with high licensing cost.
On the other hand an immensly powerful solution to PDF creation under a free license exists with LaTeX.
This inspired us at dkd to write an Open Source service to make the power of LaTeX available to web applications via a REST interface. "Indoctrinatr" is a powerful toolkit that enables developers to easily create LaTeX templates that can be accessed via web- or REST-interface and thus create data driven PDF documents with ease.
This talk will give a very short introduction to LaTeX and why it is a great choice for PDF creation. By means of different real world examples the advantages of a document generation service will be demonstrated. Within the range of examples will be:
* Generation of customised contracts via the web-interface
* Generation of data driven graphics within a PDF
* Generation of custom address labels with generated barcodes via a TYPO3 extension using the REST-interface
Using R to Visualize Spatial Data: R as GIS - Guy LansleyGuy Lansley
This talk demonstrates some of the benefits of using R to visualize spatial data efficiently and clearly.
It was originally presented by Guy Lansley (UCL and the Consumer Data Research Centre) to the GIS for Social Data and Crisis Mapping Workshop at the University of Kent.
Drupal is an open source content management system, used to make many of the websites and applications you use every day. Drupal has great standard features, like easy content authoring, reliable performance, and excellent security.
Our expert instructor walks you through the essentials of creating your first Drupal website. By the end, you’ll have an understanding of Drupal’s fundamental building blocks and a working sandbox on Pantheon that you can continue to use for as long as you like. From there, you can continue to explore at your own pace with our recommended self-serve training resources.

Rapid Product Prototyping In Ordnance SurveySafe Software
Rapid prototyping of new and improved products is key to Ordnance Survey being able to understand and respond to customer feedback, and create evermore innovative products.
The presentation will go through a variety of products that have been created by the product development team over the last year, including Gazetteers and 3D models and explain how FME has helped to deliver them.
As a taster:
One product allowed customers, i.e. the emergency services, to quickly find access points to prominent places like schools, airports, etc... FME enabled us to bring many data sources togther, perform complex spatial tasks and write out to numerous data formats.
Another produced 3D models for a customer to allow them to see what there data looked like in 3D space before work on a national data model was undertaken.
All of these would not have been possible without the flexibility of FME and the endless possibilities that it provides.

This talk will give an insight into the infrastructure behind the PostgreSQL project - what servers do we have and what do they all do? How do we monitor and manage them? How does the website cope with the Slashdot effect on release days? We will also look at how things are likely to change as the Sysadmin and Web teams work to modernize and improve our infrastructure for the future.
Bibliographic software allows you to create databases of references which can then be stored, searched and used in conjunction with Word to input citations as you write an article or to create independent bibliographies.
This tutorial will introduce the bibliographic software choices available and help you decide which features are most important.
