TurboDemo – Capture ScreenShots and Explain Software, Websites, and PC Applications
http://www.turbodemo.com/eng/index.php

The idea behind TurboDemo is simple: Capture – Edit – Play. TurboDemo uses an intelligent capturing technique for single screenshots that can then be edited as slides. Mouse movements are automatically reproduced. Projects can be exported into various formats for Internet, Intranet or published on CD’s. The created files are extremely small – only ~0.1 MB per minute of playback. Features include: a) Easy to use: create a demo in 10-15 minutes!, b) Compressed, small file: shorter loading time, ideal for Internet use, c) Interaction with the viewer: click areas, quizzes, SCORM compatibility, d) Export in 7 different output formats: Flash, JAVA, EXE, GIF, ASF also Word and PDF for documentation, and e) No installation: also runs directly from CD. TurboDemo application areas: 1) Sales and Marketing: visualize online what you’re selling, 2) Education: e-learning tutorials, online and distance learning, lectures and further education, 3) IT and Training: help tutorials, interactive FAQs and professional support, and 4) Organizations: create quick Flash video presentations, explain websites, software and other applications, provide instructions, manuals and IT support to employees.

Academy of Management Learning and Education (AMLE)
http://journals.aomonline.org/amle/
http://metapress.com/content/109449/

The Academy of Management Learning & Education (AMLE) advances the knowledge and practice of management learning and education. It does so by publishing theoretical models and reviews, qualitative and quantitative research, critique, exchanges, and retrospectives on any substantive topic that is conceived with, and draws implications for, how managers learn and the educational process and context. AMLE is an interdisciplinary journal that broadly defines its constituents to include scholars, educators, program directors, deans, and other administrators at academic institutions, as well as consultants, policy makers and practitioners in private or public organizations in which management learning and education are of central concern.

Project BudBurst

April 29, 2008

Project BudBurst
http://www.windows.ucar.edu/citizen_science/budburst/

Project BudBurst is a national field campaign for citizen scientists designed to engage the public in the collection of important climate change data based on the timing of leafing and flowering of trees and flowers. BudBurst participants take careful observations of the phenological events such as the first bud burst, first leafing, first flower, and seed or fruit dispersal of a diversity of tree and flower species, including weeds and ornamentals. The citizen science observations and records are reported into the BudBurst data base. Thousands of citizen scientists participated in the inaugural pilot test of Project BudBurst in 2007 and as a result useful data was collected in a consistent way across the country. Scientists can use this data to learn about the responses of individual plant species to climatic variation locally, regionally, and nationally, and to detect longer-term impacts of climate change by comparing with historical data. The enthusiastic response and robust participation in the 2007 pilot effort made it clear that there was sufficient interest from the American public to expand Project BudBurst in 2008!

China Biographical Database

China Biographical Database
http://snipurl.com/24cs9

The China Biographical Database is an online relational database with biographical information about approximately 35,000 individuals as of April 2007, primarily from the seventh through fourteenth centuries. The data is meant to be useful for statistical and spatial analysis as well as serving as a kind of biographical reference. The long term goal of CBDB is systematically to include all significant biographical material from China’s history and to make the contents available free of charge, without restriction, for academic use. CBDB is currently adding more Song period biographies. CBDB originates with the work of Robert M. Hartwell (1932 – 1996). Professor Hartwell bequeathed his estate, including the first version of this database, to the Harvard-Yenching Institute.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution – Oceanus

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution – Oceanus
http://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/index.do

Oceanus explores the oceans in depth, highlighting the research and researchers at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in news, features, and interviews written by magazine staff, with full-color photographs and illustrations. Each issue covers a wide spectrum of oceanography, spanning coastal research, marine life, deep-ocean exploration, and the ocean’s role in climate, as well as ocean technology and policy. Oceanus was first published in 1952 as a 16-page typewritten document to provide “a worthwhile reference to modern oceanographic exploration … that is neither too technical nor too popular.” That concise philosophy still remains, even though the mission of the magazine has evolved over the years. Today, the Internet offers more timely access to information, and our scope has broadened to convey the adventure of ocean exploration, the global and collaborative nature of ocean research, and the importance of understanding the key feature that makes our planet unique and habitable.
