ZoteRename
ZoteRename by Keith Jamison - kjamison((at))umn((dot))eduZoteRename is a Zotero extension that provides a few helpful additional features. Zotero tries to keep your PDF attachments intelligible by renaming them as they are downloaded (e.g, Author et al - 2009 - Title.pdf). This is particularly convenient when you have many PDF windows open and need to find the right one quickly. Table of Contents Features Auto-rename on import: With ZoteRename, any time you add a PDF into an empty listing (i.e., containing no other attachments yet), it will perform the same automatic renaming that Zotero should have done. Installation Install version 1.3.4 by clicking here. Configuration ZoteRename can be configured by selecting "ZoteRename Preferences..." in the Zotero "Gear" menu: Known Issues/Fixes Starting with version 1.3.4, you should be able to install ZoteRename as an add-on for Zotero Standalone as well as the Firefox extension.

"A Letter to My Son, on Starting Out In Life" par Leo
Dear Seth, You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But I’ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I’ve learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years. You won’t be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you. You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path. For this, be thankful. I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I’ve learned. Life Can Be Cruel There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. There will be times when you are met with disappointment instead of success. Here’s a secret: life isn’t a competition.

How to write and deliver a great 'Best man' speech
Photo by trubluetitan At some point in your life, one of your buddies or your brother will probably ask you to be the best man in his wedding. This is a great honor. If you don’t want to make yourself look like a real ignoramus, and you want to truly be the best man, here are a few pointers to keep in mind as you prepare to give your speech: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Don’t talk about the groom’s past relationships, don’t tell people what you really thought of your buddy’s wife when you first met her, don’t slam the food, don’t make comments about “looking forward to the honeymoon” while winking at the bride–basically, just use some tact and common sense. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Here’s your crib sheet: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
