A Little Local History

Calle Ocho (S.W. 8th Street) could be called the "Main Street." Also it is known as Highway 41 or the Tamiami Trial. It was built between 1915 and 1928, the Trial connects southeast Florida with central-west Florida. It received the name Tamiami Trail because it connects Tampa with Miami (Tampa-Miami.)
From the 1930s through the 1950s, S.W. 8th Street was filled with Jewish owed and operated businesses. For the last four decades, its dominant by Cuban business groups.
Currently, the trial known as a main street of parades, protest marches, and the famous Calle Ocho Open House, which takes place on second Sunday of March each year, and stretches deep into East Little Havana.

New Library, No Books

The University of Texas at San Antonio opened a new Applied Engineering and Technology Library that has no any printed books in its collections. Instead of storing physical volumes, the library offers to students electronic resources, including 425,000 e-books and 18,000 e-journals subscriptions. (A lot of e-books!)
The new library space can accommodate eighty people, includes ten desktop computers (not so many, assuming that their students use laptops), a printer, a scanner, and five large LCD screens. To support team study sessions, the library also provides a series of study niches and three group study rooms equipped with whiteboards. (This is the new "normal.")
Love it!

Now More Than Ever

Now more than ever, when people are being asked to do more with less, many help people reach their full potential. Catch them doing something right! How? Acknowledging the essence of body of knowledge, having it, to use it. Something like that Confucius said thousands years ago.
Now more than even, people do not care how much you know, people will remember you ONLY by how much you helped and how much you cared.
Help and care are both action verbs that alone are not enough. You need to have the modern equipment, the instrumental tools, and skills to work with them.
In two month, we will smoothly merge into the next decade of digital work enforcement union, in general, as a solution to increase productivity, profits and prosperity.

Keep on Top of Your Reading

Reading it self as an educational and recreational process is priceless.
As we, in the library community, continue to guide people to read the recommended lists of books, we are forcing and shaping the minds of the next decade of the twenty-first century. But it is the reader source for practical wisdom on how you can live richer life, and even change your daily existence, your community - and the world - instead of setting for the status quot or something else's outdated idea of the unrealistic dreams. With so much to read, how do you sift the good from the goofy? Well, what about book reviews and clippings from local newspapers, commentaries, firsthand reports, interviews, and even cartoons.
I like to read the editorials in the magazines, enjoy photo essays by cutting-edge photographers, useful introductions to excerpted articles that place issues and ideas in context, good slogans that steer my imagination, expedite to express it in lyrics with creativity.

Overwhelmed

She came home with red chrysanthemum, a plant with red showy flowers. She was overwhelmed with the attention and respect from co-workers. Her cheeks turned red. People say, "the kindest hearts expect no reward and deserve it all the more."
So, what is the key to her success and popularity? -

"Well, success comes in different faces.

It is always a race.

Everybody has his own case

To get advanced and raise.

Hard work and integrity,

Great goals for the prosperity.

I say it professionally, and literary:

It is only in "Webster's Dictionary"

Success comes before work." IT

Such a warm October day! A sunny afternoon embellishes the chain of events. The lady in black pants and black-and-white blouse was overwhelmed. Her appreciation notes were unfolded in her purse. I could not see her face, it was covered in red chrysanthemum, a plant with red showy flowers.

"Apples and Oranges"

You cannot merge Digital Literacy with Computer Literacy.

Digital Literacy is beyond Computer Literacy. Digital Literacy encompasses computer hardware, computer software, the Internet, cell phones, PDAs, and any other digital devices.

In 1997, Paul Gilster introduced the concept of digital literacy in a book of the same name as the term that is now generally used.

Libraries are using electronic games to increase awareness about the digital literacy.

A person that is using digital literacy skills to interact with society may be called a digital citizen.

Where Did the Fabric Go?

Every lady knows that she should dress up appropriated for holidays. When did Halloween became the holiday to dress provocatively? There are hundred of costumes, and they all are using the word "sexy" or retail horrors. How you suppose to Trick or Treat comfortably while costumes are too tight, too small, too short. Costume designers created modern unsuitable and unrealistic costumes. Do we teaching young girls that dressing provocatively is OK?
To my knowledge, Halloween was meant for scaring not whoring! Does recession reflects on the low taste and economical use of fabric?
