Thriving in Today’s Times: Finding Money to Save and Spend

No matter what resources we have and no matter what tradeoffs we’re willing to make, we all like to have more money if we can. We might spend it all for something we want right now, pay off bills, or save some or all of it for an item or service we want in the future. How do you “find” more money to save and spend? There might be ways to save money you haven’t thought of before. The following list by topic gives ideas that have worked for others. You can put an “x” beside the things you already do and a “√“ next to things you might want to try

Nebraska Turfgrass Conference

I’m delighted to be here with you, and look forward to visiting with as many of you as possible both today and in the future. I’ve just completed one year in my job as University of Nebraska Vice President of agriculture and natural resources and Harlan Vice Chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and it has been a learning year for me. As I start this second year, I look forward to learning even more about Nebraska and its citizens, and one of the ways to best do this is to hear what you are thinking. I want to know what you consider Nebraska’s greatest needs, now and in the future. I want to know how you think the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources can help meet those needs. I seek ways all of us working together, can find efficient and effective solutions to Nebraska’s concerns, and I want to know your interests in our work – what you think we do well, what you think we could do better, what you think the needs of the future will be

The experience of passion in creation

What I want to ask you this afternoon is whether the ragwort and the poppies of our battlefields are simply a kind of decorative relief to the squalor and heroism of human doings, whether nature is just a backdrop to how we comprehend God as dealing with us in our religious experience. What is the relationship between the waste of the natural world and those losses felt by ourselves? Do they count? Or do they find you – and God – dispassionate

COVID-19: the new immune challenge

Do you want to know more about Coronavirus infection? What has actually happened and why now? How big is the virus? How does it harm people? Where did the virus come from, and how did it spread to humans? Or maybe you want to know how your body defends itself from the virus. Well, you can find the answers to all these questions in this short article. We hope you will enjoy reading

Do you ever feel confused about where to start once you get to the library? : A catalog user manual

In the competition to get the best materials for your course work or independent research, the UNL Libraries will be one of your most valuable resources. We have a wide variety of materials and services to offer, but we can\u27t grab you and shove them under your nose. It would cause talk. We do suggest, however, that you read this pamphlet. By applying what it tells you to your own library needs, you can quickly become a more effective and confident library user, one who can efficiently determine whether we have the materials you need and how to find them on the shelf. But remember, if you are confused by the catalog or if you don\u27t find what you want, the staff at the Information Desk will be delighted to help you. Don\u27t hesitate to interrupt them if they are reading--it\u27s just something they do while they are waiting for you to ask a question

Visual literacy for libraries: A practical, standards-based guide

When we step back and think about how to situate visual literacy into a library context, the word critical keeps coming up: critical thinking, critical viewing, critical using, critical making, and the list goes on. To understand our approach, start with your own practice, add images, and see where it takes you. Do you encourage students to think critically as they research? How can you extend this experience to images? Do you embrace critical information literacy? Can you bring visual content to enrich that experience? Do you teach students to critically evaluate sources? How can you expand that practice to images? You’ll see a lot of questions in this book, because our approach is inquiry- driven. This is not to say that we don’t cover the basics of image content. Curious about color? Covered. Not sure where to find great images? We’ll show you. Wondering what makes a good presentation? We talk about that too. But what we really want you to get out of this book is a new understanding of how images fit into our critical (there it is again) practice as librarians and how we can advance student learning with our own visual literacy. This book grounds visual literacy in your everyday practice—connecting it to what you know and do as a librarian who engages in reflective practice. Heidi Jacobs put it well when she argued that, for information literacy pedagogy, “one of the best ways for us to encourage students to be engaged learners is for us to become engaged learners, delve deeply into our own problem posing, and embody the kind of engagement we want to see in our students” (Jacobs 2008). We extend this viewpoint to visual literacy pedagogy and provide many opportunities for you to embody the kind of visual literacy that you want to develop in your learners

Holiness And Justice

guess we\u27d all like to find a magic formula, secret recipe that would give us instant spiritual growth or spiritual maturity and understanding in three easy lessons. I\u27ve seen materials in bookstores that promise to do that for us, but I\u27ve never seen any of them deliver. But tonight I have for you good news. I can give you a quick way, a shortcut to spiritual growth and deeper understanding. And here it is. You want to grow quickly, go through the scripture, and every time that you find a passage of scripture that you do not understand, Mark it with a question mark, and then go back and try to find out what it means. So that way you focus your attention on what you don\u27t know. But that\u27s only one part of the recipe. The most important part of the recipe is this. Go through the Bible. And every time you find something in scripture that you don\u27t like, put a star next to it

Messages and Manifestations Moving Forward Mindfully: A Compilation of Linked in Messages in Keeping the Community Connected

The book is a self-help book for those trying to find a purpose in life and practice mindfulness. Through exploration we learn much more about ourselves. Through sharing we build stronger communities. When you get a good opportunity to change and making a decision is hard, go with your intuition what you feel is right is usually what you should be doing. You don\u27t need a lot of money or time. If you manage your time, a simple gesture can make the world of difference in someone\u27s life. Always learn to break the routine and go back and practice something you enjoy doing rather than something you have to do. We tend to overcomplicate our lives with things we don\u27t need but want. When you learn to separate from the needs vs the wants you can become a happier person. Get out of your comfort zone and explore what life has in store for you

Introduction to Communication Research: Becoming a Scholar

This open workbook for Communications and Sources Investigation was created under a Round Eleven Textbook Transformation Grant: https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/communication-collections/5/ Author\u27s Description: Welcome to your journey to becoming a communication scholar! We developed this workbook to guide you through the semester as you learn how understand and conduct scholarly research. What does it mean to be a scholar? A scholar is someone who specializes in a particular area of study. For you, this area is communication. And how do you become a scholar? By doing research. But why is it important for you to learn research skills? You might be thinking, I want to be a journalist or make TV shows or work in public relations, why do I need to learn how to do research? Well, if you want someone to watch your TV show, read your article, or listen to your campaign, you will need to conduct research to see if the audience you’re targeting even exists. You will need to research to find out if your ideas are original, what the person you’re interviewing for an article has done in the past, or what makes a successful public relations campaign. You’ll need data in order to pitch your new TV show idea. To be successful in organizational and business communication, it is essential that you learn how to effectively promote successful communication in any institution. This may include writing training manuals, employee handbooks, or conducting in-depth personnel research to ensure overall satisfaction of employees. Also, scholarly research is the foundation of any discipline, and many of the core principles of this field are derived from scholarly research. Because we want you to succeed in the industry, we will spend the semester learning how to conduct research in the field of communication. We’ll start by providing you with a short history of communication research, show you how to gather academic research, and teach you how to write a literature review. Let\u27s get started!https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/communication-textbooks/1003/thumbnail.jp

Reduction Ad Absurdum (or About Freedom)

If I asked you what was your favorite book? Who was your favorite actor? Or which candy did you like the most? You would answer; furthermore support your response with reason. That reason would be the philosophical aspect of your response. However, even if I, also with reason, refuted your argument, there’d still be this spark of ‘just because’ in you, and that is what I want to dedicate my project to – that little sparkle of ‘just because’ – little inner faith, belief, and ambiguous attraction that we have towards things. Philosophy asks for practice. It is something that requires us to bestow ourselves to; therefore, everything we argue for needs to have our utmost belief in it. All the conceptions should be supported with our heart and soul along with reason. Freedom is no exception. As much as I find freedom to be autonomous, and it being personal to us, I do believe that no matter what kind of a stance do we take upon it, we really need to believe in all: freedom, our understanding of it, and ourselves. Only then are all of our reasons for liking this or that type valid
