Helping People Help Themselves: From the World Bank to an Alternative Philosophy of Development Assistance | David Ellerman

🎉An early birthday gift from my hubby💕 I‘m desperately looking for help/suggestions on apps etc… I‘ve looked for all my regulars (Litsy, GR/SG, Duo Lingo, Kobo) but none are available. I‘ve so far, downloaded Spotify, a Spanish language learning app. Needless to say I‘m a little lost ‘cause I‘m not a gamer & I‘ve had difficulties reading on a tablet before. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Seabreeze_Reader I'm not sure if you borrow digital books through your library. If so hopefully Libby and Hoopla are available for that version of the kindle fire 8. 5mo

Seabreeze_Reader Adding; It's been years since a Litsy app was available for kindle. The Goodreads app should have come preinstalled. 5mo

DieAReader @Seabreeze_Reader 🤓Thanks! ✅Libby. Can‘t even seem to find the GR app in the “store”🧐. Gonna keep looking though🤞🏻 5mo

DieAReader @Seabreeze_Reader GR no longer supported/available😟 5mo

willaful @DieAReader wha....? But Amazon owns GoodReads! 5mo

DieAReader @willaful Makes no sense to me either🙄
5mo

RamsFan1963 @DieAReader Amazon has an app store that contains an older version of Litsy that should work on your tablet. I have a Samsung Galaxy 8+, and when Litsy crashed a few months ago, I went there because the app was no longer available on Google Play. 5mo

DieAReader @RamsFan1963 😭Unfortunately, there‘s no Litsy app anymore either. 5mo

RamsFan1963 @DieAReader That's why I haven't updated my phone in a few years, even though I'd like to go up to 5G, I'm worried about losing the apps like Litsy that I love and depend on so much. 5mo

Seabreeze_Reader @DieAReader Wow! How weird about GR. Maybe they are phasing out the app -or- coming out with a new version. That's one of those apps I never used because it's so clunky. Well, enjoy your new kindle anyway. 🙂 5mo

DieAReader @RamsFan1963 🫂I totally understand! 5mo

DieAReader @Seabreeze_Reader ❤️‍🔥Thanks! 5mo

Nobodies: Modern American Slave Labor and the Dark Side of the New Global Economy | John Bowe

I read this book years ago (written in 2007). I have pulled it out to re-read it. Anyone who wants to understand how our global economy works & the labor that is used, this is an eye opening book. Especially now that we are entering a new era of backlash against immigration & migrant workers. Many US companies use modern slave labor as their workforce. It‘s easy to turn a blind eye or blame others if we don‘t know the circumstances.

Fyi for Your Improvement | Michael M. Lombardo, Robert W. Eichinger

Help? Those of you who work with college students and new hires, who work in career development, and those who love learning… I have been charged with creating and delivering a 15 min program for college students on how to enhance “career-ready skills” — SOFT SKILLS! I can do this, I am confident in my ability to facilitate such, but need to pick a topic FAST. Suggestions? 🧐😬😃

Nutmegnc I‘m not sure of specifics but I LOVE George Couros and his book the Innovators Mindset is also great. This touches on those 21st century skills that students need in the coming job market. I bet you could pick a topic from there. You might also bring in the ISTE standards for students. 13mo

BkClubCare @Nutmegnc TY, I have to work it all up tomorrow. Thank you 😊 13mo

wanderinglynn Adam Grant has some fantastic topics, like knowing what you don‘t know.

Bookwormjillk Big topic in my office right now. I agree with @wanderinglynn that Adam Grant is a good place to start. 13mo

bthegood college students - big things they need work on : eye contact, engaged and active listening, hand shakes - 🙂 13mo

BkClubCare @Bookwormjillk @wanderinglynn - Thank you! That first story in Think Again, about the fire fighters, has stayed with me. 🌟 13mo

BkClubCare @bthegood - a presentation on how to be present without being scolding could be a challenge 😂 Active Listening activities might be a good way to go. 🙏 (edited) 13mo

Hello, Android Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform | Ed Burnette

When is the @Litsy app returning to the Google Play store for Android users? I had to factory reset my phone and the #Litsy app is no longer available for download. Tried directly with Play Store and through the various links here and at LibraryThing, no go.

The web app is okay for liking and commenting but it's terrible on mobile for editing pictures.

CampbellTaraL Also leaving that funny text prompt on the image because that's how clunky it is to try to use web version on mobile! 14mo

Librarybelle I‘m an Apple user, but I know other Android users on Litsy found a way to get the app on through means other than the Google Play store…hopefully they‘ll be able to help! 14mo

Ruthiella @julesG Has the answer. I can‘t remember the post anymore, however, where she gave the instructions. 14mo

RamsFan1963 You can find the Litsy app on Amazon's app store also. I had to use that when my phone crash and I lost the app for Litsy. 14mo

julesG Download the APK file and open it. Here's the link: https://litsy.en.uptodown.com/android Open the APK file. Your phone might say it's from an unreliable source, but you can tell your phone it isn't. This should install the Litsy App on Android. 14mo

CampbellTaraL Thanks all. I'll do the alternative installation route but this still should be fixed if the plans are to sustain @Litsy long-term. If not, well... 14mo

tpixie @Billypar does this help? 7mo

Billypar @tpixie Both the uptodown link and the Amazon app store got me closer. The trouble is that now Google Play Protect is blocking me, and keeps asking for a PIN that I didn't set up to allow the download or change the setting. I just tried setting up a PIN but it still didn't work. I'm going to keep trying though! 7mo

tpixie @Billypar so glad you worked it out!!! Perseverance prevails! (edited) 6mo

Hi Litsy I have a short window. I have an IOS phone. For the past 2 days Litsy comes up as the white screen with the logo minutes later just says can‘t connect. My internet is fine. I turned off/on my phone, uninstalled-reinstalled, let my phone totally die. Did the new iOS update. And it‘s still the same. I go to the desktop version on my laptop and it can‘t connect to the server even though I can do everything else. Any ideas. I can get 👇🏼

Reggie get back here like this but within minutes it‘ll do the same thing. Any advice? 1y

julesG You have similar problems with your phone and the desktop version. Did you use the desktop version from your phone? If no and you used a computer to access the Litsy website, then it might be a DNS problem. Have you tried restarting your router and or updating the router's software? 1y

Reggie @julesG Thank you it‘s working now when I‘m not home so yeah that might be it. I‘ll give it a try when I get there. Thanks so much. 1y

Reggie @julesG you were right. I just rebooted my modem and it works fine now. Thanks so much. 1y

julesG 🥳🥳🥳 Yeah!!! Glad this helped. 1y

Centique I had something similar with the ios app not loading - days of white screen this week - but thank goodness uninstalling and reinstalling worked for me. Cant live without Litsy! 1y

Reggie @Centique I Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and that I got the knife bookmarks and the King book. Thank you soooo much! I hope your family has a great holiday! 1y

Centique @Reggie yay! Im glad they got there safely. Good day yesterday, saw a gazillion family members, avoided the potential feud brewing between my in laws - survived the onslaught of the Commerce Gods! Hope you had a good day and that you get a break and some chill out time 💕 1y

Not that anyone can see this, but go to the onward Litsy Facebook page and answer their poll please about whether or not you‘re still having issues with the app only. (I am) @LitsyEvents

The Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World | Jacqueline Novogratz

pick

Novogratz recounts her use of a banking background to build a bank to provide microfinancing to women in #Rwanda. This was in the 80s, and she also recounts her returns to the country after the genocide, including the stories of women she had worked with and their experiences in the genocide. Really interesting.
