Featured Program
Wednesday, December 11, 2013, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library will be hosting Workforce Solutions’ free seminar designed to help job-seekers make the best possible first impression in today’s competitive job market on December 11, 1:00-3:00 p.m. “Interviewing” is a two-hour seminar on how to best present oneself to potential employers. Dressing for success, gathering background information on an employer, and preparing for commonly asked questions are just some of the topics to be discussed. The seminar will be followed by a one-hour resume lab (3:00-4:00 p.m.). Participants will need their library cards to log in to the computers (for those without a card, a temporary login can be issued) and a jump/flash drive to save their resumes (the resumes can also be sent to a personal e-mail account if a jump drive is not available). Both the seminar and resume lab will be held in the Lone Star College-Tomball Community Library, Room L-207. http://www.lonestar.edu/news/22306.htm

Check out this amazing free, open portal for Houston and Texas area data of all kinds. The Houston Open Data Portal is a collaborative dataset sharing site built on a wiki model (think Wikipedia), where datasets of many types (spreadsheets, text, GIS shape files, and more) can be uploaded, downloaded, and share openly with the public. This is a potentially tremendous resource for Houston entrepreneurs and strategic planners.
Check out the variety of subjects covered on their browse-able datasets listings page, from "City of Houston Funds" to "Proposed Land Development" to Houston Police "Department Crime Statistics" to name a few.

Wednesday, September 18, 2013, 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Lone Star College-Montgomery professor of history, Dr. Craig Livingston, will sign copies of his new book, From Above and Below, on Wednesday, September 18, from 12-2 p.m., in the campus bookstore, located in the Commons Building (Building A).
The event is free and open to the public.
From Above and Below: The Mormon Embrace of Revolution, 1840-1940 (Greg Kofford Books, 2013) tells the story of Mormon commentary on global revolutions from the European revolutions of 1848 to the collapse of Mormon faith in progress in the 1930s when revolutionary communist and fascist regimes exposed themselves as violent and repressive.
“In addition to the responses of Mormon observers, the book is an excellent source on the start, middle, and end of the revolutions themselves,” said Livingston, a professor of history since the college opened. “Well-known revolutions are discussed, like 1848 in Europe, Mexico in 1910, and Russia in 1917, but lesser revolutions come up too, such as those experienced in Bolivia, Argentina, and Peru during the 1930s.”
Livingston’s paperback book is also available as an ebook for Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and iDevices.
For more information, visit www.gregkofford.com/products/from-above-and-below.
