libraries and museums across America have gotten financial support from the federal government
That was administered by an agency called the Institute of Museum and Library Services
That funding has grown over the past few years to more than $266 million
President Donald Trump issued an executive order getting rid of several government agencies "to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law"
the agency placed every single member of its staff on administrative leave
The effects of IMLS going away are expected to be felt significantly throughout Illinois

teens make many important decisions about their next steps in life
including the types of jobs they’d like to pursue
Through the Diverse Librarianship Career Training and Education (DLCTE) program

learning the ropes of librarianship while getting paid
DLCTE is a three-year project of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE)
funded by an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grant
they don’t have an idea of which way to go,” said Debra Casimere
and introduce them to opportunities they may not have encountered.”
At “Cultivating Community Relationships: Bridging the Gap Between Libraries and High School Career and Technical Education,” a June 29 panel at the American Library Association’s 2024 Annual Conference and Exhibition in San Diego
presenters shared the premise of the program
and tips for replicating it at any type of library
SIUE catalog and metadata librarian; Jacob Del Rio
SIUE assistant professor and electronic resources librarian; and Elizabeth Kamper
SIUE associate professor and information literacy librarian
SIUE associate professor and director of research
The DLCTE program has five aims: recruit high-school seniors from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds
partner with library and other cultural organizations
mentor interns and encourage them to pursue library careers
travel with interns to library conferences
and develop a toolkit to help other librarians adopt a similar program
One of the foundational steps to implementing the DLCTE program: connecting with your local schools
forming and keeping a relationship with your partnering coordinator is key
and they have all of these activities while you’re still trying to make an impact in their lives,” she added
“It became a beautiful thing to work side by side [with Debra].”
Jacob Del Rio shared tips for recruiting youth
noting that they may not know they already have some librarianship skills
He recalled a time when he asked a group of students to raise their hands if they had library cards
But when he asked if any students had helped their grandparents use a computer
“That is reference librarianship,” he said
Though the DLCTE program is funded by IMLS
Kamper said it can be scaled to any budget
“You don’t have to do an internship,” she noted
“If you don’t have the money to pay students
you can connect with school librarians and give a talk
Casimere added that offering volunteer hours helps
Busch spoke to the overall value of career technical education (CTE)
which gives students the ability to practice occupational knowledge in addition to regular schoolwork
She recalled participating in CTE as a young student: “I really give a lot of credit to just being in that environment
where there’s people that you can turn to with questions
and who can encourage you to follow through with something.”

Marshall Breeding writes: “The library technology industry showed its maturity in 2024
Businesses have become increasingly stable and robust products delivered rich functionality
But decades of consolidation have created a narrower slate of competitors
resulting in a smaller number of products available for each type and size of library
The marketplace is seeing more specialized solutions but fewer options
Companies continue to tailor products to the diverging service needs and collections of public
Library services platforms designed for academic libraries
This stratification further narrows customers’ choices.”

3 DEC 2024BookmarkFrancisco Cuevas and Ken O'Flynn on their wedding day
and page boy Gonzalo CuevasKen O'Flynn has been elected to the Dáil after 16 years of serving Cork as a City Councillor
Ken took the fourth seat for Cork North Central becoming one of four new TDs from new party Independent Ireland elected in the 2024 General Election
coming from a legacy political family and having represented the Northside for years
Now, as he swaps the chambers of Cork City Hall for the Dáil, his father and former Fianna Fail TD Noel O'Flynn is set to replace his absence and return to the Council
who is the son of the Duke of Lora del Rio
It was a beautiful late summer wedding and the couple invited all their nearest and dearest over to the estate to celebrate with them
The happy couple tied the knot with 350 of their closest friends and family
including 150 of which had travelled from Ireland (mostly from Cork) for the three-day celebration - and there were even a few famous faces among the guests
and the party didn’t stop until 7.30 am the following morning when breakfast was served
Ken and Francisco met in the wine aisle of their local SuperValu supermarket ten years ago when Francisco mistook Ken for being a shop manager and the rest is history
The couple were engaged on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin in 2019 and had hoped to marry in 2020 before the pandemic derailed their plans on two separate occasions
Speaking to RSVP, Ken said: “We were one of those couples that lost a fortune on deposits and vendors going bust etc. But it all worked out extremely well and we’re delighted so many of our friends and family travelled to spend the special day with us”.

Del Rio was a mere time-lapse photo of the open-border crisis happening along the southern border for the past eight months
Administration officials are lying to the American people about the mass illegal immigration that is occurring
This week in Del Rio was just a peek into the 2021 border catastrophe
The administration has handled the Del Rio crisis terribly from the start, just as it has mismanaged border and immigration policies and operations since taking office
the damage to our country will be long lasting
The administration ignored early reports that large groups of migrants were on the move as far south as Panama
The Department of Homeland Security should have been more proactive in monitoring the groups and working with Central American and Mexican officials to disrupt their movement
Border Patrol agents in Texas sent warnings months ago that Del Rio was vulnerable and that more resources were needed or they would become overwhelmed
Homeland Security leadership did not heed the warnings
the Border Patrol was overcome as migrants easily crossed the border illegally in numbers that rapidly rose from 4,000 to 8,000 to 15,000 in just a few days
Thankfully, a persistent reporter, Bill Melugin with Fox News, and his team collected and aired video of the amassing group using a drone over the bridge
The images were shocking and created such bad optics for the Biden administration that the Federal Aviation Administration concocted a temporary “security” ban on drone usage at the bridge
Americans watching were highly skeptical of the sudden FAA ban. Undeterred, Melugin boarded a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter and continued recording and airing the video of masses gathered beneath the bridge trying to escape the 100-plus degree heat and sun
The FAA withdrew its drone ban by the end of the day
Reporters logically asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki whether the illegal aliens amassed under the bridge in squalid conditions were being tested and/or vaccinated for COVID-19
especially when the White House just announced that all foreign nationals flying to the U.S
must show proof of vaccination to enter the country
Psaki answered that the Del Rio illegal aliens were only tested for COVID-19 if they showed symptoms and seemed to make up an illogical justification; namely, it was because “they are not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time.”
A visible indicator that these illegal aliens intend to stay permanently are the photographs of the ditched documents from Chile and other countries where many of these Haitian migrants were already resettled for years
Wanting to shed evidence of pre-existing protection in a third country
these illegal aliens will claim they just came from Haiti and cannot return there due to the possibility of persecution
Safe resettlement elsewhere first makes them ineligible for asylum in the U.S
Pursuing asylum anyway is fraud and should be denied
Senators asked Mayorkas for the numbers of Del Rio illegal aliens deported or processed into the U.S
Members of Congress asked again the next day
He complained that he’s working 18-hour days
which should have been plenty of time to ask Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the data
Reporters asked Psaki for the numbers. She referred them to the Department of Homeland Security, but implied that most Haitians are being deported
Psaki continues to mislead the America people by intentionally masking the truth behind convoluted jargon such as “removal proceedings” when referring to what the Department of Homeland Security is doing with illegal aliens
suggesting they are being deported when she knows they are in fact being released into the U.S
Administration officials don’t ever mention their mass catch-and-release operations. The truth is, the administration is releasing numbers of illegal aliens the size of this Del Rio group into the interior every week
What do the Biden administration and the left want to talk about
about Border Patrol agents on horseback used “whips” (reins) to attack Haitians illegally crossing the border
The administration placed the agents on administrative leave and prohibited use of horses in Del Rio until at least their pointless investigation is complete
The Border Patrol agents have been abandoned
and thrown under the bus by their own departmental secretary and now
vilified by the president of the United States
and had reputations irreparably harmed in an effort to deflect from the out-of-control catastrophic crisis at our southern border
Meanwhile, the White House ordered the Del Rio bridge area to be cleared out in advance of a nearby Black Lives Matter protest this weekend
This week in Del Rio was just a peek into the 2021 border catastrophe. The images of large numbers of illegal aliens under the bridge have been an annoyance to the Biden White House. They will do what they always do with self-inflicted crises—lie

The Lamborghini Miura turned 50 last year, so at the end of 2016, Lamborghini deemed it prudent to take the old girl back to the farm. The Miura farm, that is.
So that bright yellow, 385bhp V12-engined Miura SV you see above - normally resident of the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata - made the arduous 600km trek from Madrid to a small bull breeding farm in Lora del Rio, Andalusia.
The farm is run by the Miura family; it was in 1966 that Don Eduardo famously met with Ferrucio, who would later take the farm's name and apply it to the first ever Lambo supercar. Because bulls, and speed, and power, and so on, and so on...
Today, the farm - itself founded 175 years ago - is run by Don Eduardo's sons, Antonio and, um, Eduardo, who were treated to the sight not only of the SV's homecoming, but also of six more rather lavishly coloured Huracáns and Aventadors. A bit of support for their elderly sibling, no doubt.

The different Covid-related restrictions in place for the eight provinces of the Andalucía region (Andalusia in English) namely (Almería
Jaén and Huelva) are quite confusing at the moment
such as provincial border closures preventing movement between provinces
a perimeter border closure affecting all of the region and a night-time curfew
others depend on area-specific infection rates and alarm levels
Many health districts in Andalusia have recently moved down from level 4 to levels 3 and 2
meaning that some restrictions have changed
ARCHIVED - Current covid restrictions within the eight provinces of the Andalusia region" style="margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; float: left" width="100%" />
These are: Twenty-eight towns and villages in Andalusia will continue with municipal perimeter closures in place as of midnight on Friday (12 March) following the latest review of 14-day accumulated incidence rates
as their rates are still higher than 500 cases per 100,000 residents
non-essential businesses must stay closed in nine that register incidence rates of more than 1,000 cases per 100,000 residents
the latest data from the regional health department reveals that the rate is still over the 1,000 mark - meaning that non-essential businesses must close and perimeter closures remain - in Santa Cruz del Comercio

It has 36,000 registers and an average of 15 information indicators for each register
Computer modelling and complex systems simulations will extract information from this database to formulate and confirm hypothesis about Roman political and economic mechanisms
Concerning the complementarity of the work carried out by historians
Remesal affirms that “for physicians the projects means a possibility to apply models to real data
whereas for historians it enables to analyse big databases”
project partners are: the UB research group PhysComp (headed by Albert Díaz Guilera)
devoted to study complex networks from statistical physics perspective; the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (Xavier Rubio)
expert on semantic models and knowledge management (Bernardo Rondelli)
Roman amphorae can be considered as the best archaeological marker of Roman Empire economic production and transactions
They are a unique indicator of social relationships and chronological dynamics
because of their distribution throughout the Empire
the precise information contained in their epigraphy (similar to modern trademarks and labels) and their diachronic persistence
the project EPNet proposes an interdisciplinary framework to formulate trade dynamics models and their main routes
The authors of the project think that other systems studied by physics have similar properties and behaviours to the ones of social sciences
It is important to remember that complex networks have already been applied to the analysis of economy and trade between companies
banks and countries; the project EPNet proposes to apply complex networks to the ancient trade of wine
Computer simulations will act like a ʻvirtual labʼ in which hypothesis about Roman economic and political mechanisms will be formulated and validated
computer simulations have been mainly used to study prehistoric societies
but they have been scarcely apply to more recent time periods
experts on semantic analysis collaborate in the project; they will contribute to define the values and parameters used in computer simulations
Roman trade system is considered the first European complex trade network
Many theories and hypothesis about its organization and relation to the Empireʼs army and politics have been formulated
Some authors consider that Roman trade does not share any feature with modern economies
other experts think that it is a predecessor of present globalised economies and affirm that it can be explained by present economic theories
The project EPNet will provide another opinion on this issue

Mairena del Aljarafe has a moderate level of seismic activity
Based on data from the past 55 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900
there are about 234 quakes on average per year in or near Mairena del Aljarafe
Mairena del Aljarafe has had at least 2 quakes above magnitude 5 since 1970
which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently
probably on average approximately every 25 to 30 years
The quake had a very shallow depth of 25 km (16 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter
Mairena del Aljarafe has had 1 quake of magnitude 3.6 and 6 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0
There have been also 49 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel
The quake had a very shallow depth of 25 km (16 mi) and was felt by many near the epicenter.
