      "On June 1st, the UN Office for Partnerships and Public Foundation hosted the Media for Social Impact Summit 2016 . The event brought together representatives of numerous companies working in the area of media for social good. During the day of intense collaborative work, notable speakers, such as Susan McPherson, founder and CEO of McPherson Strategies, Aaron Sherinian, Chief Communications and Marketing Officer at UN Foundation, and Sean Southey, CEO of PCI Media Impact, addressed the audience.\nThe participants had the opportunity to watch vivid presentations featuring social good campaigns in video and song. A few panels addressing various aspects of media for social good focused on such topics as media corporations delivering socially impactful campaigns. It was emphasized time and again that the campaigns of media corporations within the sustainability space connect people with the entire planet, where economic growth and social progress are tied with sustainability. In the future, media companies and corporations will aim at promoting the SDG Agenda for Sustainable Development \u2013 a 15 year Agenda with 17 specific goals, including the issue of extreme poverty, eliminating inequalities, protecting the environment, promoting sanitation and clean water projects.\nAmong several social good presentations, the AngryBirdsHappyPlanet campaign, organized in part by the UN Foundation, featured Angry Birds taking a very proactive stance on climate change. An important message was delivered in the presentation by the ASPIREist \u2013 \u201cA feature news show empowering 21st century viewers to take action on issues that \u2018matter to them\u2019 \u201d (in the show some of the causes included Birthright and Transgender People\u2019s Rights). An additional plenary session was devoted to \u201cAmber Alerts\u201d and saving lives in real-time by using media to make messages easily accessible and inspire the audience to action.\nThe Conference featured a discussion around the power of using comics in conveying stories about SDG\u2019s. Speakers also discussed the power of purposeful collaboration and communication; for example, emphasizing the importance of sustainability through film and music, creating digital platforms that encompass various communities. It was emphasized at the conference that in terms of measurement of success with global goals, the difference must be noted between activity and progress. Positive and meaningful dialogue around social good-related issues will lead to positive behavior and action; both dialogue and connection will be important for SDG\u2019s. The conference additionally featured a discussion around innovation with impact. A call to action was made around increasing knowledge and implementation of SDG\u2019s, especially with youth, as well as utilizing quantifiable metrics to measure success of SDG implementation.\nAn important part of the conference was interactive brainstorming breakout sessions around the notion of effective multi-platform content and common language that needs to be established to communicate SGD\u2019s and social good messages.",

      "Steve Grove is a collaborative kind of guy. Even the Minnesota state tattoo on his rib cage was a group effort.\nHis dad, brother and brother-in-law sport the same one. \"I never thought I'd get a tattoo. But doing it with your family? It's a special bond,\" he said.\nGrove \u2014 a former Google executive who's now head of Minnesota's Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) \u2014 grew up as the oldest of four kids in Northfield. The 41-year-old ran track and worked summers at his dad's landscaping business.\nToday a visit to his old hometown means a walk down memory lane \u2014 one he literally built. There are the library stairs that gave him grief, the flagstone path just off Cedar Avenue, plus patio floors, ponds and retaining walls all over Northfield.\n\"While I love technology and the scale and impact of Google,\" he said, \"there is something about tangible, hands-on work where you get to see what you built that is so satisfying.\"\nThe former reporter, Google and YouTube executive is the first to admit his path to government is unusual. But he's betting he'll construct something fresh.\n\"This is definitely an opportunity for me to bring a new set of eyes into the government sector and see what we can do,\" said Grove, who most recently led Google's $300 million Google News Initiative.\nAt DEED, he will run a $582 million agency that runs job training and employment plus economic development programs. Grove's goal is to use DEED's arsenal of job creation and training grants and company partnerships to erase wage disparities, training gaps and to help startups and businesses that struggle to find skilled labor.\n\"We do want Minnesota to be on the map as a great hub for innovative companies to grow. We want our Fortune 500s to thrive and to weather this transition to a digital economy,\" Grove said. \"We want the next crop of Fortune 500s to get started here.\"\nWhen Grove moved back to Minnesota about a year ago, Walz was on his mind. After graduate school at Harvard, he campaigned for Walz during Walz's 2006 congressional run, and the two had stayed in touch. By fall, Grove was volunteering again, this time for Walz's gubernatorial race. When Walz was elected, Walz said he knew just the guy he wanted to lead DEED.\nWalz recalled that in 2006 YouTube wasn't yet a household name, yet Grove convinced Walz to upload video of his campaign stops.\n\"No one was doing this at the time,\" Walz said. \"Steve was young and visionary and very operational about how you could use technology to connect with people. I loved the mix of passion and vision and optimism but also his ability to operationally make [those connections] happen.\"\nOver the years, Walz said he watched Grove ratchet up those efforts as he worked for YouTube and Google but also through school visits when Grove personally got youths and people of color interested in technology and its high-paying careers. Grove runs a technology camp for Twin Cities teens.\nAfter winning the election, Walz called Grove and told him he needed his skills to help narrow Minnesota's maddening job-skills gap.\n\"I called Steve and made the pitch,\" Walz recalled. \"I was mindful of finding a leader who understands the values of investing in talent, who has experience with the business community and who is an innovative leader. I was such a believer that he was the one who could bridge our opportunity gap. \"\nGrove spent 12 years at Google and nearly 20 years in California before moving back to Minnesota in April 2018 for mostly family reasons. (He's the father of 2-year-old twins.) But he said Silicon Valley also \"was becoming a bit of a bubble.\"\nGrove's wife, Mary \u2014 another former Google executive who now runs a Minneapolis office for Rise of the Rest, a venture capital firm created by AOL founder Steve Case \u2014 said the return to his home state was inevitable.\n\"Steve bleeds Minnesota blood through and through,\" she said. \"I joke there is a microchip where everyone from Minnesota is programmed to [one day] move back.\"\nGrove's shift into government work also makes sense, she said. He has wondered how technology can help government \u2014 make it more efficient and data-driven, more transparent and build more private-public partnerships, she said.\nGrove conducted \"listen and learn tours\" with technology and government leaders in Minnesota during Walz's campaign to identify state needs and how Grove could use his experience to help. He said he jumped at the chance to be DEED commissioner.\n\"We had the opportunity to really put down roots in a community that we wanted to invest in on the ground level. That was a big part of the move here,\" he said. \"The other part was really Walz. I am just a big fan of the governor. His vision for the state is one I really share. Whenever you are making a big move like that [across the country] and especially to leave the private sector for government, you really have to believe in who you work for.\"\nGrove hopes he can help Walz spur a \"strong innovation culture.\"\n\"We have some technology growth, but no one would say Minnesota is the super technology epicenter of the country,\" he said.\nGrove embraces Walz's plans for a Minnesota Innovation Center and restoring the Minnesota Angel Tax Credit to help fund startups. Grove also wants to improve internet access in rural areas and for inner-city students who don't always get early or adequate computer training. Those \"opportunity gaps\" must end, he said.\nBecause he spent years forming thousands of educational and news partnerships through Google and through his Silicon North Stars technology camp, Grove said he knows that technology and innovation is a forceful economic development tool and job creator.\nGrove also hopes to help erase Minnesota's racial and geographic disparities.\nMinnesota has \"some of the worst income disparities between whites and people of color in the country. That is an embarrassing fact,\" said Grove, noting that minority unemployment is significantly higher than the state's total 3.1 percent rate.\nLowering minority unemployment \"will be an emphasis of this administration,\" he said.\nThe half year Grove spent as a volunteer agricultural researcher in rural India and Thailand after college made Grove sensitive to the pangs of poverty and the mind-boggling gaps between wealth and deprivation.\n\"Seeing the poor on the doorstep of such great wealth was difficult to see,\" he said. \"It was life-changing.\"\nFueled Collective CEO Kyle Coolbroth, who is on the Silicon North Stars board, said Grove's aptitude for empathy and action has been impressive.\n\"Steve is one of those rare leaders. It doesn't matter if you are the CEO of Google or an about-to-be high school student in Minneapolis Public Schools,\" Coolbroth said. \"He has the ability to be completely present with them. To take the time and apply the energy. That comes from the heart. You can't fake that.\"\nGrove developed his passion for technology and innovation as he discovered YouTube. He was finishing his master's degree at Harvard in 2006 and was about to travel to Vietnam, Georgia, Serbia and Africa to see foreign politics up close.\nGrove wanted to film what he saw and approached Harvard with an idea. He would make news videos abroad that should appeal to Harvard students and post them on YouTube. Harvard liked the idea so much it helped fund his trip.\nThat summer, former U.S. Sen. George Allen, a Republican from Virginia, was filmed making a racial slur during a campaign stop. That YouTube video went viral, instantly downshifting Allen's political trajectory.\nGrove called that a unique moment in internet history, calling YouTube a way to hold politicians accountable.\nHe pitched the idea of doing that full time for YouTube (which Google bought in November 2006) and quickly became YouTube employee No. 85. At YouTube, Grove partnered with CNN and CBS, bringing citizen journalists into political debates, on campaign trails and into the 2008 Democratic and Republican conventions. He drove the annual White House interviews where regular citizens got to ask former President Barack Obama questions live or via video.\n\"Obama become the first YouTube president,\" Grove said. \"A good part of what I did at Google was to help companies [and politics] transition to a digital world. We were all about helping our partners improve.\"",
      "Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. The UCLA Comprehensive Stroke and Vascular Neurology Program is one of the leading centers in the world for clinical care and research in cerebrovascular disease. The program's mission is to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art neurologic care for patients with cerebrovascular disease and innovate, through research, new methods to diagnose and treat stroke.\nThe UCLA Stroke and Vascular Neurology Outpatient Clinic provides comprehensive evaluation and ambulatory treatment for patients with cerebrovascular disorders, including transient ischemic attacks, carotid artery stenosis, vertebrobasilar artery stenosis, cardioembolic stroke, lacunar stroke cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral vascular malformations, stroke in the young, cerebral artery dissection, moyamoya disease, cerebral vasculitis, hypercoagulable states, and related conditions.\nWhen a stroke occurs, minutes matter. The UCLA Brain Attack Team responds 24 hours per day 365 days a year, providing immediate evaluation and treatment when a patient comes to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Patients are admitted to the dedicated, state-of-the-art UCLA Acute Stroke Unit, the first dedicated inpatient unit for stroke care in the state of California. Advanced brain and vessel imaging, continuous physiologic monitoring, and cutting-edge recanalization and neuroprotective therapies are employed to resuscitate threatened brain regions and to optimize stroke prevention regimens.\nUCLA Health is the first medical system in the Western U.S. to offer a mobile stroke unit. The Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) is staffed by a specialty care team comprised of a Stroke Neurologist, Critical Care Transport Nurse, CT Technician, and Paramedic. When an individual calls 911 and says someone is having a stroke, or mentions symptoms that would indicate a potential stroke, our MSU will be dispatched to the scene of the patient alongside another 911 Emergency Response Unit.\nWith your help through giving, the UCLA Stroke and Vascular Neurology Program can make possible tremendous strides in the care of patients with neurovascular disease and provide insights into the causes of and potential treatments for cerebrovascular disorders.\nYou can help make this possible through multi-year pledges, outright gifts, commemorative gifts, planned giving such as trust and bequests, and endowed giving.\nThe UCLA Health Hospitals welcome volunteers with an interest in helping others and a commitment to serving as a vital, caring member of the UCLA Health team. Learn more about volunteering.\nThe UCLA Stroke Center is a provider for Medicare and most major insurance plans. We provide insurance billing. Anything not covered by insurance will be your responsibility. We request payment at the time of your appointment for services that are not covered by insurance. Your insurance company may also require you to pay a co-payment at the time of your appointment. When necessary, our staff will work closely with patients who require a payment plan. If you have any questions regarding which insurance plans we accept or any patient billing concerns, please call us at the phone number below. Questions regarding your coverage and benefits should be directed to your employer or insurance company.\nUCLA Health knows that medical information about you is personal and is committed to protecting the privacy of your information. We share your information only to the extent necessary to conduct our business operations, to collect payment for the services we provide you and to comply with the laws that govern health care. We will not use or disclose your information for any other purpose without your permission. We will provide you with a copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices and ask you to acknowledge its receipt.\nThe UCLA Vascular Neurology Fellowship was founded in 1996 and expanded to include an ACGME-accredited Vascular Neurology Residency in 2004.\nFellows receive intensive clinical research training in ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. Core training includes 1) participation a multihospital clinical trial program encompassing novel thrombolytic and mechanical recanalization, cytoprotective, and antithrombotic treatment trials; 2) management of cerebrovascular patients in dedicated stroke unit, neurointensive care unit, emergency department and outpatient settings, 3) performance/interpretation of carotid duplex and transcranial Doppler ultrasound leading to qualification for neurosonology certification. Collaborative research with UCLA's leading interventional neuroradiology and neurovascular surgery services include studies of cerebral angioplasty, catheter administered thrombolysis, vascular malformations, carotid endarterectomy and other conditions. Formal didactic teaching provides additional training in neuroepidemiology, outcomes research, clinical trial design, and biostatistics. Ample additional research opportunities are tailored to fellow interest and, in addition to the above, may include studies of 1) diffusion/perfusion MRI and PET assessment of human cerebral ischemia, 2) oxidative stress in hippocampal slice and whole animal models, 3) neurobehavioral manifestations of cerebrovascular disease, and 4) neuroplasticity and neurorehabilitation. The fellowship is designed to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art clinical and research training and a fully competitive academic background.\nUCLA is the clinical coordinating center for this pioneering, NIH-funded clinical trial of neuroprotective therapy for stroke patients begun in the ambulance. Collaborating centers include the Los Angeles Emergency Medical Services Agency and over 40 hospitals in Los Angeles County.\nUCLA's unique stroke student research assistant program involves more than 50 UCLA undergraduate students each year in stroke education and stroke clinical trials. Program members travel to local community centers and convalescent homes to lecture on stroke risk, prevention and the critical measures that need to occur after stroke onset. Program members also take shifts in the UCLA Emergency Department, recognizing and evaluating the signs and symptoms of stroke, identifying and screening patients for acute treatment trials, and gathering and analyzing the data under the guidance of Dr. Sidney Starkman and other UCLA Stroke Faculty and Fellows.\nAn online Neurovasculature Web-Atlas Resource.\nThe UCLA Stroke and Vascular Neurology Program performs major interdisciplinary clinical and basic research studies of cerebrovascular disease. Stroke Program members collectively have hold over 20 NIH-NINDS cerebrovascular research grants, as well as multiple grants from the American Stroke/Heart Association and the National Stroke Association. The UCLA Stroke Program administers an extensive clinical trial program at over 40 hospitals in West Los Angeles, encompassing at any one time five to 10 Phase II and Phase III trials of neuroprotective, antithrombotic, thrombolytic, and mechanical endovascular treatment strategies.\nThe Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen (LAPSS). Now part of the curriculum of advanced life support training for paramedics worldwide.\nUCLA physicians and LA paramedics were the first to give a potentially brainsaving drug to patients in the ambulance, prior to hospital arrival. In the UCLA FAST-MAG Pilot Trial, starting the drug in the ambulance accelerated the start of therapy by 2 hours.\nUsing sophisticated brain imaging, UCLA researchers demonstrated that reopening blocked arteries soon after stroke onset can salvage brain regions with advanced bioenergetic failure.\nUCLA researchers demonstrated that the brain loses 2 million nerve cells and 14 billion nerve connections every minute in which treatment does not occur. This finding provided quantitative grounding for the national \"Time lost is brain lost\" campaign to increase public awareness of stroke symptoms and the importance of calling 911.\nThe Merci retriever clot retrieval device is a long thin tube with a corkscrew-shaped tip that is used to grab clots that are blocking arteries and pull them out of the body. This restores blood flow to the threatened brain. The Merci retriever is the first FDA approved device for use in acute stroke and was invented and developed at UCLA.\nThe GDC coil allows thin-walled brain aneurysms to be packed and closed through a minimally invasive technique, removing the chance that they will rupture and cause brain hemorrhage, coma, and death. This first device to treat brain aneurysms was invented and developed by the interventional neuroradiology UCLA.\nPlaque buildup in arteries going to the brain is the leading cause of stroke. Seventy-five percent of these strokes can be prevented by known treatments, but these are unfortunately often not given to stroke patients. UCLA developed the Stroke PROTECT program for ensuring delivery of proven therapies to all patients, which became a national model for quality improvement programs nationally.\nUCLA is conducting the first large trial of prehospital treatment of stroke ever conducted. In the NIH-funded Field Administration of Stroke Therapy Magnesium (FAST-MAG) Trial, 2,000 paramedics in Los Angeles are starting the neuroprotective drug magnesium sulfate or placebo in the ambulance in 1,298 stroke patients. This is the first trial to treat patients in the \"golden hour,\" the first 60 minutes after stroke onset when virtually all threatened brain tissue is still salvageable.\nCurrent clot busting drugs help many patients by opening blocked arteries and restoring blood flow, but sometimes harm patients by causing bleeding into the brain. UCLA is developing a new clot-busting agent, plasmin, which can be fine-tuned to optimize beneficial blood vessel reopening while avoiding bleeding side effects.\nWhile some patients with acute ischemic stroke experience rapid death of all threatened nerve cells within one to two hours, others still have salvageable tissue six to 12 hours after onset. UCLA researchers are leading a pathbreaking clinical trial that uses novel magnetic resonance brain imaging to determine precisely how much brain is still salvageable in each patient and select patients for therapy to reopen blocked arteries as late as eight hours after stroke onset.",

      "North Texas\u2019 struggling Dallas Area Rapid Transit bus system is going to get a massive overhaul. But it\u2019s going to trickle out over years, even though DART has been working to speed things up.\nDART bus ridership dropped from 121,999 bus riders on an average weekday in 2015 to 113,095 in 2016. The downward trend has continued into the first few months of this year.\nBlame for the declining ridership has fallen on everything from a rebounding economy where more people can afford to drive, to changing housing patterns where fewer bus-dependent workers live on outdated bus routes. Some existing bus routes have never had a lot of traffic, and they exist as relics of past well-intentioned efforts to provide service where it turns out few people really needed it.\nEither way, the result is the same: Many buses just don\u2019t run when and where riders need them.\n\u201cDART has to make sure the core ridership is focused on ... so they can get from their home to work, schools or hospitals in a timely fashion,\u201d new DART board member Ray Jackson said last month. He told the Dallas City Council\u2019s transportation committee low-income riders need a system that works better for them.\nCustomers and city officials have long complained about routes where the buses don\u2019t travel the lines often enough and take hours to get them where they need to go. The problems are primarily in areas south of Interstate 30 where more people depend on public transportation.\nThe agency developed a comprehensive overhaul plan in 2014 and began to trickle out changes the following year with off-peak frequency improvements and bus connections to the Rowlett DART rail station.\nCentral to the overhaul is a long-term plan to create a \u201ccore frequent route network\u201d which would make buses run on their routes every 15 minutes or better during peak travel times, every 20 minutes or better during the midday and every 30 minutes or better on weekends.\nA DART bus pulls out of Union Station in downtown Dallas.\nThe agency also hopes to make some routes more direct, eliminate low-performing routes and expand the availability of weekend service.\nBut those changes require more buses and may be years away. Many customers and Dallas City Council members say they want bigger changes sooner.\nFour new DART board members \u2014 Catherine Cuellar, Dominique Torres, Ray Jackson and Jon-Bertrell Killen \u2014 were named earlier this month. Each said they\u2019d push hard to fix the bus network. And board member Patrick Kennedy, who started his term in January, told the council's transportation committee last month that he has been working closely with DART staff on issues plaguing the bus system.\nWhile speaking before the council\u2019s transportation committee last month, Kennedy said he hopes to add more buses to improve frequency, but there are also inefficiencies in the system that can be worked out, like duplicate services and buses running on the same routes as rail.\n\u201cYou can\u2019t improve frequency on peak hour buses if you don't have enough buses,\u201d said Todd Plesko, DART\u2019s vice president of planning and development.\nIf the August changes go ahead as planned, the frequency of buses running along some routes would change from every hour to every 45 minutes on Saturday and Sunday.\nBuses would also run more frequently during some weekday off-peak hours. For example, on Route 521, which travels from Mockingbird Station to Northwest Highway at Hillcrest Road, buses would run every 45 minutes rather than every hour.\nThe next round of proposed service changes is planned for March, pending board approval. On Tuesday, the DART board\u2019s planning committee will be presented with details of those changes. The entire board would consider them later this year after a series of public hearings.\nPlesko said the March changes would be larger and more extensive, potentially including the elimination of several routes so that those buses could be diverted to improve frequency in other areas or for a pilot project to bring service to customers living in less dense, less served areas.\nThe biggest changes could still come in August 2019. By then the new buses should be in service and DART would be able run buses more often on some of its lines during peak hours.",

      "With 20,000+ new apps hitting the market every month, making yours stand out from the crowd and get noticed is crucial to it\u2019s success. Publicity can be difficult to attain at the best of times \u2013 most journalists (including bloggers) receive large volumes of press releases each week. How can you make sure yours cuts through the clutter and gets noticed \u2013 and published?\nPress release and press kit are two fundamental pieces of your mobile app or game discovery in the jungle of bloggers, journalists and reviewers. Every single day, they are literally getting spammed by hundreds of demands to write about new apps and games. Most of these requests are too long, boring, formally wrong and have no added value.\nSo question is \u2013 how do you distinguish yourself? Well, just by writing a professional-looking press release and wrapping it into a decent press kit, your chances to be noticed are much higher. For more tips about mobile app marketing, click here.\nUnless you are a native english speaker with extraordinary writing skills, don\u2019t even try to write your own press release. You can hire decent and cheap copywriters on sites like Odesk or Freelancer or you can even try TouchArcade forums where is a special section for game developer services and trades. Maybe you can barter some good deal out there!\nHeadline is the first thing your potential publisher will read. Build a curiosity, catch attention and point out the biggest benefit of your app. No \u2013 your app or game title is not a striking headline. Place your shiny well-designed icon just around the headline.\nYour press release should be written as a final news story. You need to include every important detail in this part \u2013 who are you, what is point of your app, when you are going to release it.\nAt first, don\u2019t forget to write a short summary tagline and put it just below the headline. Then you are supposed to include a short introduction \u2013 one or two sentences about a developer and previous titles, then another one or two about a goal of your app. Don\u2019t explain every feature of your game here.\nThe next paragraph should be a full description of your app. Explain how it works, what is the added value. Why should people play your game? What is the main mechanic and how many levels or challenges can player enjoy? Is it a freemium or premium title? What platforms will it support? When you are going to release your title? You can add a short quote about your product from a well-known influencer (if you have one). You can put in one or two screenshots, however if you are sending a whole press kit, it\u2019s better to attach high-quality screenshots, artworks and icons in it.\nJust state the facts in bullets \u2013 URL of your game microsite with press kit, company website, contact email. You can also include your Skype name, Twitter profile or Facebook page. But stick only to relevant information.\nSend it! Check out this list of mobile game review websites and choose relevant contacts. Dont forget to include your press release in a complex press kit. Then upload your whole press kit to your website and provide additional information to interested journalist. Share it on social media channels or forums, but don\u2019t spam!\nAbout the author: Martin Palsovic is a European based Chief Marketing Officer and Board Director at Pixel Federation.

      "This invention describes hydrophobic and oleophobic fibers, films and molded articles comprising synthetic organic polymer wherein dispersed within the fiber, fabric or molded article and present at the surface of the fiber, fabric or molded article are fluorochemical compounds. Method of preparing such fibers, films and molded articles, as well as articles made therefrom also are disclosed.\nThis is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/901,363 filed Jul. 28, 1997 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,127,485.\nThis invention relates to fiber, film and molded article compositions comprising hydrophobic and oleophobic synthetic organic polymer. In another aspect, the present invention relates to methods for preparing hydrophobic and oleophobic fiber, film and molded articles from synthetic organic polymer. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to fabrics comprising hydrophobic and oleophobic synthetic organic fiber and to methods of making such fabrics.\nSynthetic organic polymers, especially polyolefins, are employed widely to create a variety of products. Included among such varied products are: blown and cascade films, extruded sheets, foams, fibers, products made from foam and fibers, woven and knitted fabrics, non-woven fibrous webs and molded articles. Many polymers used in these products, such as polypropylene, exhibit some hydrophobicity (i.e., water resistance), but exhibit no oleophobicity (i.e., oil resistance).\nThe use of various fluorochemicals to treat topically a variety of fibers and fibrous substrates, such as textiles, carpet, leather, paper and non-woven webs, to impart to those materials desired properties not indigent to the virgin materials, is known. See, for example, Mason Hayek, Waterproofing and Water/Oil Repellency, 24, Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, pp. 448-455 (3rd ed. 1979) or Banks, Ed., Organofluorine Chemicals and Their Industrial Applications, Ellis Horwood Ltd., Chichester, England, pp. 226-234 (1979). Such fluorochemical compositions include fluorochemical urethane and urea-based oligomers as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,398,182 (Guenthner et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 4,001,305 (Dear et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,205 (Landucci), U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,737 (Stern), U.S. Pat. No. 4,668,406 (Chang), U.S. Pat. No. 4,792,354 (Matsuo et al.) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,410,073 (Kirchner); compositions of cationic and non-cationic fluorochemicals as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,566,981 (Howells); and compositions containing fluorochemical carboxylic acid and epoxidic cationic resin as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,426,466 (Schwartz). Also known are fluorochemical esters as disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 3,923,715 (Dettre), U.S. Pat. No. 4,029,585 (Dettre), U.S. Pat. No. 4,264,484 (Patel); and, more specifically, fluorochemical esters derived from dimerized unsaturated fatty acids as disclosed by U.S. Pat. No. 4,539,006 (Langford) and World Published Application WO 93/10085 (Coppens et al.). These fluorochemicals can be applied to various fibrous substrates by methods known in the art, including spraying, padding, and finish bath immersion, or can be applied directly to the fiber before the fiber is woven by incorporating the fluorochemical into the fiber spin finish.\nBlending fluorochemicals with synthetic organic polymers and melt extruding fibers from the molten blend to produce fibers and fibrous substrates exhibiting hydrophilicity and oleophilicity also is known. U.S. Pat. No. 5,025,052 (Crater et al.) describes fibers, films and molded articles prepared by melt extruding a blend or mixture of (a) fiber- or film-forming synthetic organic polymers and (b) fluorochemical oxazolidinones to produce fibers, films and molded articles having low surface energy, repellency to oil and water, and resistance to soils. U.S. Pat.\nNo. 5,380,778 (Buckanin) describes fibers, films, and shaped articles made by melt extruding a blend of a fluorochemical aminoalcohol and a thermoplastic polymer, such as polypropylene. U.S. Pat. No. 5,451,622 (Boardman et al.) describes shaped articles, such as fibers and films, made by melt extruding mixtures of fluorochemical piperazine compound and thermoplastic synthetic polymer. U.S. Pat. No. 5,411,576 (Jones et al.) describes an oily mist resistant electret filter media comprising melt blown electret microfibers and a melt processable fluorochemical having a melting point of at least about 25\u00b0 C. and a molecular weight of about 500 to 2500, the fluorochemical preferably being a fluorochemical oxazolidinone, fluorochemical piperazine or a perfluorinated alkane having from 15 to 50 carbon atoms. U.S. Pat. No. 5,300,587 (Mascia et al.) describes oil-repellent polymeric compositions made by blending a perfluoropolyether and optionally a radical starter with a thermoplastic polymer, intimately mixing the resulting composition at high temperature for sufficient time to form macroradicals from the polymer, and cooling the final composition to room temperature. U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,717 (Rolando et al.) discloses fluorochemical graft copolymers derived from reacting monomers having terminal olefinic double bonds with fluorochemical olefins having fluoroaliphatic groups and polymerizable double bonds.\nWhile these various fluorochemical melt additives can in some circumstances impart satisfactory hydrophobicity and/or oleophobicity to thermoplastic resins, they typically suffer poor thermal stability above 300\u00b0 C., a melt processing temperature often encountered in the industry, and they also can be prohibitively expensive, lending self-evident limitation to their commercial utility.\nA\u2032 is the residue of a mono- or polyfunctional alcohol or amine with the proviso that A or A\u2032 contain at least 34, or alternatively at least 36, carbon atoms when Q is \u2014CH2CH2\u2014.\nThe above-depicted fluorochemicals and those compositions containing them impart hydrophobicity and oleophobicity to synthetic organic polymers when blended as melt additives with such polymers prior to their thermal extrusion. These fluorochemicals and fluorochemical compositions also offer the additional benefits of thermal stability above 300\u00b0 C. and yield lower material cost compared to currently employed fluorochemical polymer additives.\nIn another aspect, the present invention relates to methods of preparing hydrophobic and oleophobic fibers, films, and molded articles from synthetic organic polymers containing the described fluorochemicals.\nIn yet another aspect, the present invention relates to fabrics comprising hydrophobic and oleophobic synthetic organic fiber, useful, for example, in medical fabrics and apparel, and filter media. Methods for making such fibers also is disclosed.\nA\u2032 is the residue of a mono- or polyfunctional alcohol or amine representing an aliphatic moiety containing from 30 to 170 carbon atoms with the proviso that A or A\u2032 contain at least 34 carbon atoms when Q is \u2014CH2CH2\u2014.\nIt will be understood that, as the necessary result of the manner in which the above-depicted compounds are made, the fluorochemicals actually employed in the practice of the invention typically will be mixtures of compounds having varying numbers of fluorochemical tails. The compounds preferably are made such that the number of these fluorochemical tails (the bracketed groups of the above formulas) for each compound will nearly equal the valency of the mono- or polyfunctional acid or alcohol utilized in its preparation (i.e., more than about 75% of the available valencies of the acid or alcohol will be filled by the fluorochemical tails). Where a polyfunctional acid or alcohol is used, there can, however, be a residuum of unreacted sites on that acid or alcohol for at least a portion of the compounds. Such mixtures are useful in practice of the invention, and are considered within the scope hereof.\nStructures for components of trimer acids are similar to those of dimer acids except that they contain an additional carboxylic acid group terminating from another hydrocarbon chain, they contain an additional non-functional hydrocarbon chain, and they contain a greater portion of bicyclic compounds.\nDimer and trimer acids typically are prepared by condensing unsaturated monofunctional carboxylic acids such as oleic, linoleic, soya or tall oil acid through their olefinically unsaturated groups, in the presence of catalysts such as acidic clays. The distribution of the various structures in dimer acids (nominally C36 dibasic acids) depends upon the unsaturated acid used in their manufacture. Typically, oleic acid gives a dimer acid containing about 38% acyclics, about 56% mono- and bicyclics, and about 6% aromatics. Soya acid gives a dimer acid containing about 24% acyclics, about 58% mono- and bicyclics and about 18% aromatics. Tall oil acid gives a dimer acid containing about 13% acyclics, about 75% mono- and bicyclics and about 12% aromatics.\nDimer/trimer acids are commercially available from a variety of vendors, including Henkel Corporation/Emery Group (as Empol\u2122 1008, 1061, 1040 and 1043) and Unichema North America (as Pripol\u2122 1004 and 1009). For further information concerning these acids, see (1) Leonard, Edward C., \u201cThe Dimer Acids,\u201d Humko Sheffield Chemical, Memphis, Tenn., 1975, pp. 1, 4 and 5, and (2) the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 3rd ed., Vol. 7, 1979, pp. 768-770. Different grades exist for the dimer and trimer acids. Some have been hydrogenated to remove olefinic double bonds and/or distilled for purification.\nDimer diols and diamines can be made from the dimer acid by methods well known in the art. Dimer diols are commercially available from Henkel Corp./Emery Group as Empol\u2122 1070 and 1075 diols. Dimer amines are commercially available from Witco Corp., for example, as Kemamine\u2122 DP-3695 amine.\nEster compositions of Formula (I) are made conveniently by heating a fluorochemical alcohol with either a dimer acid or a trimer acid in the presence of a standard acid catalyst, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, preferably in a suitable solvent such as toluene. They also can be prepared by first making an acid chloride of the dimer/trimer acid by reaction with thionyl chloride, and then reacting the acid chloride with a fluorochemical alcohol at a slightly elevated temperature (50-60\u00b0 C.) in the presence of an acid scavenger, such as pyridine, and preferably in a low-boiling solvent such as chloroform. Suitable fluorochemical alcohols include sulfonamido alcohols such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,803,656 (Ahlbrecht et al.), for example, sulfonamido-based alcohols such as C8F17SO2N(CH3)CH2CH2OH and C8F17SO2N(C2H5)CH2CH2OH and telomer-based alcohols such as C8F17CH2CH2OH. Suitable dimer and trimer acids include Empol\u2122 1008, 1061, 1040, and 1043 acids and Pripol\u2122 1004, 1009 and 1048 acids.\n\u201cReverse\u201d ester compositions of Formula (II) can be prepared by reacting a fluorochemical carboxylic acid with a dimer diol, using the same synthetic procedure as described for the preparation of the ester compositions of Formula (I). Suitable fluorochemical carboxylic acids include sulfonamido carboxylic acids such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,809,990 (Brown et al.), for example, C8F17SO2N(C2H5)CH2COOH. Suitable dimer diols include Empol\u2122 1070 and 1075 diols.\nAmide compositions of Formula (III) can be prepared by reacting a fluorochemical amine with a dimer or trimer acid by heating the components together neat at an elevated temperature (at least 220\u00b0 C.). Alternatively, they can be prepared by first making an acid chloride of the dimer/trimer acid by reaction with thionyl chloride, and then reacting the acid chloride with a fluorochemical amine at a slightly elevated temperature (50-60\u00b0 C.), and preferably in a low-boiling solvent such as chloroform. Suitable fluorochemical amines include C8F17SO2N(C2H5)CH2CH2NH2, C8F17SO2N(C2H5)CH2CH2NH(Ch3) and C8F17CH2CH2NH2. Suitable dimer and trimer acids include Empol\u2122 1008, 1061, 1040, and 1043 acids and Pripol\u2122 1004, 1009 and 1048 acids.\n\u201cReverse\u201d amide compositions of Formula (IV) can be prepared by reacting a fluorochemical carboxylic acid with a dimer amine, using the same synthetic procedure as described for the preparation of the ester compositions of Formula (I). Suitable fluorochemical carboxylic acids include sulfonamido carboxylic acids such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,809,990 (Brown et al.), for example, C8F17SO2N(C2H5)CH2COOH. Suitable dimer amines include Kemamine\u2122 DP-3695 amine.\nAs used herein, the terms \u201cfiber\u201d and \u201cfibrous\u201d refer to particulate matter, generally thermoplastic resin, wherein the length to diameter ratio of the particulate matter is greater than or equal to about 10. Fiber diameters may range from about 0.5 micron up to at least 1,000 microns. Each fiber may have a variety of cross-sectional geometries, may be solid or hollow, and may be colored by, e.g., incorporating dye or pigment into the polymer melt prior to extrusion. The fluorochemicals and fluorochemical compositions of the invention modify both the surface and the bulk of each fiber in a uniform way. Thus, if some fluorochemical is washed from the surface of the fibers, the fluorochemical reservoir within the fiber supplies more of each surfactant to the surface of the fiber and thus replenishes the fiber's desired properties.\nThe described fluorochemicals and compositions comprising those fluorochemicals find particular utility as additives to synthetic organic polymers. Synthetic polymeric fibers, films, and molded articles to which the fluorochemicals of the invention have been incorporated, have low surface energy, excellent oil and water repellency, and exhibit a resistance to soiling. Such polymers can be thermoplastic or thermoset including synthetic linear polyamides, e.g., nylon-6 and nylon-66; polyesters, e.g., polyethylene terephthalate; polyolefins, e.g., polyethylene and polypropylene; polyolefin copolymers; epoxy resins; urethanes; acrylics; polystyrenes, etc. The described fluorochemicals also can be used as blends with other fluorochemicals, e.g., with fluorochemical poly(oxyalkylene) compounds oligomers or polymers.\nFibers, films, and molded articles containing the fluorochemicals can be made by preparing a blend of the solid fluorochemical or fluorochemical composition with a chosen solid synthetic polymer by intimately mixing the fluorochemical with pelletized or powdered polymer, and melt extruding the blend into fibers or films by known methods. The fluorochemicals or fluorochemical compositions can be mixed directly with the polymer or they can be mixed with the polymer in the form of a \u201cmaster batch\u201d (concentrate) of the fluorochemical in the polymer. An organic solution of the fluorochemical or fluorochemical composition may also be mixed with the powdered or pelletized polymer, the mixture dried to remove solvent, then melted and extruded. Alternatively, molten fluorochemicals can be injected into a molten polymer stream to form a blend immediately prior to extrusion into fibers or films.\nThe amount of fluorochemical used as an additive is that amount sufficient to achieve the desired properties of oil and water repellency and/or soiling resistance. Preferably, the amount of additive to be used will be that amount which provides from about 100 to 20,000 ppm fluorine, more preferably 200 to 10,000 ppm fluorine, based on weight of the fiber or film, in the fiber or film after extrusion.\nAfter melt extrusion of the fiber or film an annealing step can be carried out to enhance surface energy lowering and to enhance oil and water repellency for a particular fluorochemical additive. In addition to or in lieu of such an annealing process, the film or fiber also may be embossed between two heated roll where one or both of the rolls may be patterned. An annealing process typically is conducted below the melt temperature of the synthetic polymer, for example, in the case of nylon, about 150\u00b0 to 220\u00b0 C. for a period of about 30 seconds to about 5 minutes. In some cases, the presence of moisture can improve the effectiveness of the fluorochemical.\nThe fluorochemicals of the invention also can be employed as aqueous suspensions or emulsions, or as organic solvent solutions, in the treatment of textile fibers (or filaments) during their manufacture, e.g., in combination with spin finishes, or in the treatment of porous or fibrous substrates such as textiles, carpets, paper, and leather to impart oil and water repellency and anti-soiling properties thereto. The fibers or filaments as such or in aggregated form, e.g., yarn, toe, web, or roving, or the fabricated textile, e.g., articles such as carpet and woven fabrics, can be treated with the fluorochemical. This treatment can be carried out by applying the fluorochemical or fluorochemical composition as organic solutions or as aqueous organic dispersions by known techniques customarily employed in applying fluorochemicals, e.g., fluorochemical acrylate copolymers, to fibers and fiber substrates. The fluorochemical treatment, for example, with the fluorochemical being in the form of an aqueous emulsion or organic solution, can be carried out by immersing the fiber substrates in a bath containing a cationic, anionic, or nonionic fluorochemical blend, padding the substrate or spraying the same with the fluorochemical emulsion or solution, or by foam, kiss-roll, or metering the applications, e.g., spin finishing, and then drying the treated substrates if solvent is still present. If desired, the fluorochemicals or blends of fluorochemicals can be co-applied with conventional fiber treating agents, e.g., anti-static agents or non-aqueous fiber lubricants.\nIn addition to the use of the fluorochemicals of this invention in modifying the properties of fibers, e.g., carpet fibers, as described above, they also find utility as blend additives and blown microfibers for use in making non-woven fabrics having low surface energy, oil and water repellency, and/or resistance to soils. Such non-woven webs or fabrics are readily prepared by processes used in the manufacture of either melt-blown or spunbonded webs. For example, a process similar to that described in Wente, Superfine Thermoplastic Fibers, 48 INDUS. ENG'G CHEM. 1342 (1956), or in WENTE ET AL., MANUFACTURE OF SUPERFINE ORGANIC FIBERS, (Naval Research Laboratories Report No. 4364, 1954) can be used for the preparation of the nonwoven webs of this invention. Multi-layer constructions made from non-woven fabrics enjoy wide industrial and commercial utility and include uses as medical fabrics. The makeup of the constituent layers of such multi-layer constructions can be varied according to the desired end-use characteristics and can comprise two or more layers of melt-blown and spunbond webs in many useful combinations such as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,145,727 and 5,149,576, both of whose descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.\nAny of a wide variety of constructions may be made from the above-described fibers and fabrics, and such constructions will find utility in any application where some level of hydrophobicity, alcohol repellency, or oleophobicity is required. The fibers and fabrics of the invention may, for example, be used in woven and non-woven medical fabrics and related apparel, industrial apparel, outdoor fabrics (e.g., umbrellas, awnings, tents, etc.), raincoats and other outdoor apparel, as well as in home furnishings such as table linens and shower curtains and in myriad other related uses.\nFilms of the invention can be made from blends of synthetic organic polymer and the described fluorochemicals by any of the film making methods commonly employed in the art. Such films may be non-porous or porous (the latter including films that are mechanically perforated) where the presence and degree of porosity is selected according to desired performance characteristics.\nThe fluorochemicals of the invention also can find utility as additives to polymer coatings and articles, e.g., to improve water resistance, lower surface energy, improved dielectric properties, etc.\nThe following examples are offered to aid in the understanding of the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope thereof. Unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages are by weight.\nMelt-Blown Extrusion Procedure\u2014The melt-blown extrusion procedure is the same as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,300,357, column 10, which is herein incorporated by reference. The extruder used is a Brabender 42 mm conical twin screw extruder, with maximum extrusion temperature of 270-280\u00b0 C. and distance to the collector of 12 inches (30 cm).\nFluorochemical and thermoplastic polymer mixtures are mixed by blending the fluorochemical and thermoplastic polymer in a paperboard container using a mixer head affixed to a hand drill for about one minute until a visually homogeneous mixture is obtained.\nThe process condition for each mixture is the same, including the melt blowing die construction used to blow the microfiber web, the basis weight of the web (50\u00b15 g/m2) and the diameter of the microfibers (5-18 micrometers). Unless otherwise stated, the extrusion temperature is 270-280\u00b0 C., the primary air temperature is 210\u00b0 C., the pressure is 124 kPa (18 psi), with a 0.076 cm air gap width, and the polymer throughput rate is about 180 g/hr/cm.\nSpunbond Extrusion Procedure\u2014The extruder used is a Reifenhauser Extruder Model Number RT 381 (available from Reifenhauser Co., Troisdorf, Nordrhein Westfalen, Germany). The extruder is driven by an infinitely variable 3\u00f8 shunt wound DC motor, 37.3 kW & 2200 rev/min max. The maximum screw speed is reduced to 150 rev/min. The screw is 70 mm in diameter and 2100 mm in length. The entire extruder is 2.3 m in length by 1.3 m in width by 1.6 m in height, weighing 2200 kg. There are five 220 V heating zones at a total of 22.1 kW of heating power, giving a maximum heating zone temperature of 210\u00b0 C.\nThe bonder is a Kusters Two-Bowl-Thermobonding-Calender (available from Kusters Corp., Nordrhein Westfalen, Germany). The effective bonding width is 1.2 m. The upper patterned metal roll has a 15% bonding area and a temperature of 270\u00b0 F. (132\u00b0 C.), while the lower rubber roll has a slick surface and a temperature of 265\u00b0 F. (129\u00b0 C.). The bonding nip pressure is 57-860 pounds force per linear inch (3000-46000 J/cm). The rolls are heated by convection from a continuously circulating furnace oil. The temperature range of the nips is 200-300\u00b0 F. (93-149\u00b0 C.). The bonder's speed is directly synchonized to the speed of the collection belt that has a range of 3.6 to 65 linear meters per minute.\nThe basis weight for the nonwoven web (g/m2) can be calculated by multiplying the speed of the spin pump (rev/m) times the constant 71.\nEmbossing Procedure\u2014Nonwoven samples were embossed using a top roll with a 15% contact area diamond pattern metal top roll set at 98\u00b0 C. and a rubber bottom roll set at 104\u00b0 C., with a gap between the rolls of less than 2 mil (50\u03bc), at a pressure of 30 psi (1550 torr) between the top and bottom rolls, and at a linear speed of 8.3 ft/min (2.5 m/min).\nThermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) Test\u2014Unless otherwise stated, the sample is heated from room temperature at a rate of 10\u00b0 C./min and the percent of the sample left when a given temperature is reached (usually 220\u00b0 C., 280\u00b0 C., 320\u00b0 C. and 340\u00b0 C.) is reported in most tables. It is desirable to have at least about 90% of the sample remaining after heating to 320\u00b0 C. so that the fluorochemical is resistant to high temperature processing.\nIn running the Water Repellency Test, a nonwoven web sample is placed on a flat, horizontal surface. Five small drops of water or a water/IPA mixture are gently placed at points at least two inches apart on the sample. If, after observing for ten seconds at a 45\u00b0 angle, four of the five drops are visible as a sphere or a hemisphere, the nonwoven web sample is deemed to pass the test. The reported water repellency rating corresponds to the highest numbered water or water/IPA mixture for which the nonwoven sample passes the described test.\nIt is desirable to have a water repellency rating of at least 4, preferably at least 6.\nThe Oil Repellency Test is run in the same manner as is the Water Repellency Test, with the reported oil repellency rating corresponding to the highest oil or oil mixture for which the nonwoven web sample passes the test.\nIt is desirable to have an oil repellency rating of at least 1, preferably at least 3.\nEscorene\u2122 PP3505 polypropylene\u2014polypropylene, having a 400 melt flow rate, commercially available from Exxon Chemical Company, Baytown, Tex.\nEscorene\u2122 pp3445 polypropylene\u2014polypropylene, having a 35 melt flow rate, commercially available from Exxon Chemical Company.\nEscorene\u2122 3795 polypropylene\u2014polypropylene, having an 800 melt flow rate, commercially available from Exxon Chemical Company.\nRexflex FPO\u2122 D-100 polypropylene\u2014polypropylene having a 15 melt flow rate, commercially available from Rexene Corp., Dallas, Tex.\nAspun\u2122 6806 polyethylene\u2014polyethylene, having a melt index of 105 g/10 min (as measured by Test Method ASTM D-1238) and having a peak melting point of 124.8\u00b0 C., commercially available from Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Mich.\nDuraflex\u2122 polybutylene 8510\u2014polybutylene polymer, having a 45 melt index (as measured by ASTM D1238, Condition D) and having a Brookfield viscosity of 640,000 cps (measured at 177\u00b0 C. using a #29 spindle), commercially available from Shell Chemical Co., Houston, Tex.\nEngage\u2122 8400 poly(ethylene/octylene)\u201476/24 ethylene/octene copolymer, having a 30 melt flow rate, commercially available from DuPont/Dow Elastomers, Wilmington, Del.\nExact\u2122 4023 poly(ethylene/butylene)\u2014ethylene/butylene copolymer, having a 35 melt flow rate, commercially available from Exxon Chemical Company.\nMorthane\u2122 PS 400 polyurethane\u2014a thermoplastic polyurethane resin, having a Shore A Hardness (1 sec delay) of 89 and having a melting point range of 140-210\u00b0 C., commercially available from Shell Chemical Co.\nMorthane\u2122 polyester-based polyurethane PS440-200\u2014a polyurethane resin, commercially available from Morton Thiokol Corp., Chicago, Ill.\nCelanex\u2122 2002 polybutylene terephthalate\u2014unfilled polybutylene terephthalate thermoplastic resin, medium flow, commercially available from Hoechst Celanese Corp., Chatham, N.J.\nPET 35 BASF polyethylene terephthalate\u2014commercially available from BASF Corp., Mount Olive, N.J.\nBASF Ultramid\u2122 B3 nylon\u2014nylon 6 polyamide resin, having a melting point of 220\u00b0 C., having a number average molecular mass of 15000 and having a melt viscosity of 140 Pa.s at 250\u00b0 C.

To a 3-necked 500 mL flask equipped with overhead stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser (connected to an empty washing trap which was in turn connected to a gas washing trap containing 20% aqueous NaOH) was charged 100 g (0.169 eq, based on an amine equivalent weight of 590) of C8F17SO2(C2H5)HC2H4NH2 (EtFOS-NH2 amine) dissolved in 250 g of ethyl acetate. Through the resulting mixture was bubbled about 7 g (0.192 eq) of hydrogen chloride gas, which produced as slushy mass. Next about 50 g (0.505 eq) of phosgene gas (COCl2) was added over about a 10 minute period, after which the reaction mixture was heated to 55\u00b0 C. After 3 hours, an additional 36 g (0.364 eq) of phosgene was added and, after reacting overnight, the reaction mixture turned a translucent brown color. An additional 35 g of phosgene was added, but there was no further evidence of reaction.

After 1 hour, the reaction mixture was placed under reduced pressure (\u02dc90 torr) to remove completely any residual volatiles. The now tan-brown reaction mixture (104 g) was heated to 110\u00b0 C., causing the mixture to clear up, and the now clear mixture was transferred to a 100 mL round-bottom flask equipped with a 14/20 standard taper joint.

A 500 mL 2-necked round-bottom flask equipped with overhead condenser, thermometer and Dean-Stark trap wrapped with heat tape was charged with 57.8 g (0.190 eq) of Empol\u2122 1008 dimer acid, 100 g (0.185 eq) of MeFOSE, 1 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid and 50 g of toluene. The resulting mixture was placed in an oil bath heated to 150\u00b0 C. The degree of esterification was monitored by measuring the amount of water collected in the Dean-Stark trap and also by using gas chromatography to determine the amount of unreacted fluorochemical alcohol. After 18 hours of reaction, about 2.8 mL of water was collected and a negligible amount of fluorochemical alcohol remained, indicating a complete reaction. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 100\u00b0 C. and was twice washed with 120 g aliquots of deionized water to a water pH of 3.

Next, 2.5 g of spunbond polypropylene was folded into the center of the cutout area with approximate open margin border of approximately 1 cm on each side. The fabric was covered with more copper foil and another rectangular steel plate of the same dimensions used in the rest of the construction. Next, the sandwich construction was placed between the plates of a press, each plate being heated to 200\u00b0 C., and the plates were brought together with a force of 5 tons for a 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter circle (587,000 kg/m2) for 2 minutes.

Equal portions were then poured into two approximately 60 mm diameter aluminum weighing pans. For Example 53, the resin system in the first pan was allowed to cure overnight under ambient conditions (roughly 50% relative humidity). For Example 54, the resin system in the second pan was baked for 15 hours at 50\u00b0 C. above a pan of water. The Water Repellency Test and the Oil Repellency Test were then run on the surface of each cured resin; the same test liquids and rating scale were used as with the nonwoven web repellency test, with the reported value corresponding to the highest number test liquid for which a drop, when placed on the surface of the film, would not spread.\nIn Comparative Examples C49-C50, the same moisture-cured polyurethane resin preparation and evaluation was run as described in Example 53-54, respectively, except that the fluorochemical dimer acid ester F-1 was omitted.\nResults are presented in Table 17.\nThe data in Table 17 show that the casting made from moisture-cured polyurethane resin having fluorochemical dimer acid ester F-1 added thereto exhibited dramatically improved water and oil repellency to the casting made from moisture-cured polyurethane resin only, cured either under ambient conditions or baked.\nVarious modifications and alterations of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this invention, and it should be understood that this invention is not limited to the illustrative embodiments set forth herein.\nA\u2032 is the residue of a dimer diol, a dimer diamine, a trimer triol, or a trimer triamine.\n2.

      "Interesting, well-built project with plenty of things to experiment with. Many pins brought out and I hope to look at adding a floating point BASIC at some point.\nI am very happy to hear your satisfaction with my Z80 board! YES, indeed most of functions (two PIO and one SIO) are not activated in the initial firmware (tinyBASIC), and I will try to explore more some day! Thank you!!!\nA very satisfying new generation NUTUBE DAC/AMP.\nWhen I received the product, I was very impressed with the origami of the Korean flag.\nThe sensitivity of NUTUBE is good, so white noise is mixed to some extent, but it can be ignored enough.\nThe sound is very warm, powerful and soft. Build quality is also very good.\nThe seller 's response was also very friendly and impressed.\nIn short, this product is the best product to experience NUTUBE inexpensively.\nI am so happy to read your satisfaction for Nutube high resolution USB-DAC amplifier! I hope you are enjoying wonderful Nutube life! Thank you!!\nThis is the second NuTube-based headphone amp I've put together, and it's another nice one. Assembly was quick and simple with no surprises. The sound is warm and characteristic of single-ended tube amps, which is exactly what you're after if you buy something like this! USB power and a tiny portable size makes this a great one to bring between home and work.\n- There's no documentation of the function of the two trim pots, and as shipped the amp produces some fairly startling noises. My recommendation is before powering up, to turn them fully counter-clockwise (no sound), then slowly turn them up until you start to get artifacts, and back off. Tuning them within that range seems to have some small effect on tonality, but mostly volume.\n- The case is a pretty tight fit, and microphonics from the NuTube can be noticeable, for example, when I drop a pen on my desk. The addition of some rubber feet essentially eliminated them except for the sharpest tapping on the desk.\nThank you for very detailed review for the product. As is pointed out, I need to make some more detail instruction for kit assembly. Initially I intended to release this item as \"full assembled\" version and I did not catch up to the situation to sell it as \"full kit\". I will try to make more detailed instruction sheet later. As for \"body-phonic effect of Nutube\", it is a characteristic of Nutube (because it is a vacuum tube, where \"raw\" electron is flying in free space.) But also I will try to fix (total reduction is impossble, but I will try to improve) this issue. I am very happy to see you are enjoying wonderful Nutube! Thank you!!!\nI wouldn't describe myself as an audiophile but I do appreciate good sound and this amp sounds nice.\nPutting it together is simple and it comes with the same PCB diagram and part list print out as you can see in the listing.\nMicrowavemont was helpful and quick to answer my questions.\nThank you for reviewing! I hope you are enjoying wonderful Nutube life!! Thank you!\nI find the audio quality and ease of use excellent, it very easily drives my Sennheiser HD 25-1 cans but they are easy to drive.\nThe build time was very fast and enjoyable, however I found that the component layout included was missing R7. Since it was the only thing missing there was no great mystery but that should be fixed.\nThe only issues I have is that the rigid mounting in the steel casing transfers vibrations that causes very noticeable ringing. Considering the sensitivity of the nutubes microphonics I have to consider this a design flaw. The fixes would probably be to have the main PCB mounted onto rubber and a separate PCB for contacts.\nOr just put it on something soft on the desk like I do.\nAll in all excellent product and I highly recommend it.\nThank you so much for the first review !\nSo sorry and thank you for notifying R7, 33kOhm issue. I will fix the paper right now.\nAmazing fast shipment, with a nice origami bird inside. I use an old duemilanova arduino board as programmer, with stack from https://github.com/ElTangas/jtag2updi.git. Works very nice.\nThe reset pin was not enabled in the fuses, that was a bit puzzling. Would be nice if default the reset pin was enabled.\nMeanwhile the board is working: uarts, io, and spi (oled display).\nNice board for experienced developers!\nThis board is exactly the one for high ability user like you!!! I am very happy to read your success with duemilanova!!! Great! Thank you!\nI requested a customized version for my own use, and Toshiro did everything I asked for and more. The module does exactly what it's suposed to do, the description is very good, the code is open and customizable, and last but not least - very affordable. Thank you, Toshiro!\nThank you for reviewing! I hope you are enjoying \"sound toy box\"!!!\nI am so sorry for your inconvenient.\nPlease contact me through tindie's messaging system. I have a few experience of issue on this board (unstable, etc...) but so far I could guide to make it works for 100% of buyers. It is software setting issue and not hardware issue. Thank you in advance.\nI had some problems at the beginning, I contacted the supplier and with his assistance we have solved, all in all the product for its low cost makes perfectly its function as a programmable reference generator with GPS, from the tests I did the antenna must be placed in the outside where it can receive the largest number of satellites to have a better stability of the signal, lacking documentation for its use I can say this !!\nAll in all, the product works properly and if you have any problems, the seller will respond in a short time.\nI had some problems at the beginning, I contacted the provider and we have solved all the software for its low cost. I can say this !!\nThe seller will respond in a short time.\nThank you for providing wonderful review.\nIndeed I have to admit the insufficient documentation regarding details about GPS module setting. This item is almost \"software defined signal generator\" and I will try to improve documents. Thank you!\nI have this hooked up to a solina strings emulator, the reverbs sound good, with the right eq tweeking, it sounds great! I haven't ran any bass sounds thru this one yet though... I guess I'll run it thru the effects input buss to really dial it in.\nThank you so much for report. I am very happy to get your satisfaction!!!\nThis nice little board provides everything you need to get Alexa going (and other stuff too, as several unused pins have been broken out to the side.\nAt first I was a bit at loss. I thought this would fire up and start working. Nope, you have to install the software. Not only install, also build it. And to install the software, you need the Espressif toolchain and development environment. I already had that, but this was a chance to update everything to the latest version.\nAnyway, because I had no clue where to start, I contacted Microwavemont, who responded within a few hours AND adjusted this page to include steps to set this baby up. After everything was set up and uploaded, Alexa came alive. Yes!!\nGreat job by the boardmaker, and of course also by the original writer of the software, MrBuddyCasino.\nVery nice radio, I use it for sw reception, and also for reception of the long wave. Here in europe we still have long wave radio emitters (french german and of course BBC ). It is difficult to find a good long wave receiver.\nI am very surprised with the quality and the rapid sending.\nThank you for reviewing! I am very happy to hear you are enjoying Radio!!\nvery good device, great sensibility , nice screen, all ok,very happy !!!!!!!\nThank you for review. I hope you are enjoying \"Radio life\". Thank you!\nAmazing amount of functionality for such a small board, and the smallest display I've use so far! Shipped quickly and included a nice printout of the pinout description and it worked right out of the box! Pity mini usb is used. Thanks for the nice little origami!\nExcellent product and i \u2764\ufe0f the origami in the package!!!\nJust advertised -- thanks! I'm looking forward to experimenting with the code and making some changes -- want to see if I can store frequencies and select channels.\nThank for wonderful report. YES ATmega1284 has a very high potential for application implementation. Please try to make your own wonderful radio!!\nGreat build and quality device. Excellent service.\nThe PocketBeagle cape is a beautifully designed and manufactured little board that no-one else has on the market. The example code on Github helps a lot and the origami crane included in the envelope was a charming surprise! It's great to know that there are makers out there with such high quality projects that they share so much.\nWhen I first found out that the Nutube was developed and on the market, I tried to find a haedphone amp that uses Nutube for curiosity. However, it seems that only guitar and bass amps was only Nutube amp available in the market. Then, I found out that microwavemont was building one for headphones!! Without hesistation, I bought one to hear and feel the sound. Still I was a bit worried about the sound quality, but right after hearing with my high fidelity headphones, the worries were gone. It\u2019s sound quality was similar to other warm sounding vacuum tube headphone amps!! I still need some time for aging but I think it will be much more better after that. Only problem is that since its a vacuum tube, it tends to catch some high frequency sounds from other electronics and the power source, but I\u2019ll figure that out anyway. It was a pleasure to get this amp and I will always cheer for the maker of this product for the high quality built.\nP.S. thank you for the origami crane made out of ROK national flag!! That suprise gift you gave me was a big pleasure. :) Keep up the excellent work!\nWonderful and unique little amplifier kit!\nFantastic kit, the Nutube is very unique. My order was shipped very promptly in excellent packaging (as was a previous order from microwavemont) the parts were well packaged and includes everything as per the description. The kit is of high quality, very good parts and quality pcb with mounting accessories terminals, sockets and a plug pack. With only basic through hole parts requiring soldering the kit would even be suitable for a novice to assemble. The kit includes a component layout sheet, however it does not show the pcb tracks or circuit diagram, but a circuit diagram image is on the description page, it's not required, but i like to see the circuit to better understand and learn.\nThe amplifier sounds very nice, and i love the little green glow of the VFD, the fusion of modern parts like the class-D amp and the Nutube to make a amplifier that has the 'valve' sound harmonics is a unique and cleaver design. The amplifiers small size and visual appeal makes it perfect to sit on a desk, or somewhere to be appreciated.\nI plan on paring mine with a Wide ePaper plus ESP32 ADB from microwavemont, to make a wireless streaming music player. It's a great little product and i would buy again.\nThanks Microwavemont, you is bether!\nBeaultifull origami Brazilian flag, lol!\nBut have more carefull with large lcd for chash in airmail!\nThe radio on the internet is the best thing I try.\nI received the ESP-32 Rev 2. Shipemnt was OK and it has included a litle origami. Many thanks.\nBut I do not know and I was not able to find out clear instructions of how to proceed to have it working.\nThis is my first experience with ESP32 so I\u00b4m not sure what I\u00b4m missing.\nHello! and thank you for review!\n, where the setup procedure is explained in the page above.\nand execute \"make menuconfig\" and set your SSID and password will make your board into web radio.\nBoard using for internet radio with an old speaker and 10Watt sound amplifier.\nThank you for the review! I am very happy to read your satisfaction!!\nThe PCB-layout is well-designed and the components are good quality. I managed to get the system up and running. It connects to my iPhone flawlessly. However, the Bluetooth connection could not survive more than 3 meters line-of-sight. The connection will lose when being blocked by your body or even with a hand. Yes, it is mini-USB interface, not micro-USB. The audio reproduction is great. At least it sounds good to my ears. The OLED display works well. However, I am still not sure what the developer is trying to describe, Hence, I am trialling if he meant this or that. Overall, it serves the purpose and I will not lose any sleep on those negative stuff. If I need more, I will buy from him again.\nReceived it today by Post. Very compact but really good quality! I do not have \"hum\" sound.\nThanks for your great design!\nDo you have DAC can work with this, too?\nThank you for review and I am very happy to read your satisfaction. Nutube is very sensitive to external noise source and sometimes it occurs, reported by buyers, but not everyone. Thank you!!\nShipped very fast (the next day after ordering). Slim profile when the PocketBeagle is soldered directly to the stacking headers on the cape. Also the example code to drive the display works perfectly.\nThanks for a great design! I hope to see more PocketBeagle expansion boards in the future.\nThank you for review! I am very happy to hear your satisfaction. Please enjoy PocketBeagle!!\nThis is my second product from Tindie. Excellent design, very good sound. I like to experiment wth them.\nThank you!! I hope you are enjoying conversation with Alexa..!\nAltogether this is a high end esp32 dev environment.\nI am very happy to have this board. One important thing for me is: everything on one side, wired LAN, a small display AND the power switch.\nAs a goodie I wanted to play with the CAN bus (probably for tasks at my workplace) but I am not getting the rare examples on the net to work with this board (played with a lot of examples, pin numbers, termination, and switching high/low cables).\nI also have the OLIMEX ESP32-EVB board and there the CAN bus works out of the box. The RX pin of these two boards are different, but the rest, concerning the CAN bus, should be the same.\nCould you provide your working proof of concept codes during developing this board - Arduino IDE style or esp-idf style - Arduino style would be nice for comparison reasons...?\nThanks a lot for your good work!\nOrdered the Kit and got it in less than two weeks. Carefully packaged and including two origami figures. Thank you !\nThank you for wonderful review and beautiful modification for very warm colour illumination! I've checked your picture and really impressed by warm LED colour on Nutube. As pointed out, Nutube's illumination has some \"cold\" green colour but additional warm colour can greatly delight its existence. Wonderful and thank you so much!!\nAmazing amount of functionality for such a tiny board. It's barely bigger than a basic ESP32 devkit. Shipped promptly from Japan and it included a printout of the board with pinout description, and a nice little origami. Thanks!\nNeat little board without glutter.\nNeat little ESP32 board without unnescesary addons. Only addons that I always need, like battery support.\nThank you for writing review!! I am very happy to provide you what you need!! Thank you!\nI received the package today after only 8 days. You should know that this never happens with Romanian postal service.\nI was happy to find the board in a sealed water-tight anti-static bag, next to the color-printed instructions and a nice origami star, all put in 2 airbubble-padded envelopes, one inside the other.\nI am out of nice words to describe how happy I am with this seller, the product and overall experience.\nI am so happy to see your satisfaction!! Indeed shipping time takes sometimes close to one month but in the best case it just take around one week, so the best case came to you, great! Please enjoy wonderful ESP32 world with sophisticated high resolution TI's DAC PCM5102A. Thank you!!",

      "Left to right: Lois Stockland, Elaine Spencer, and Leda Ruffolo.\nCatching the sartorial style of the senior set has been a mission of street photographer and blogger Ari Seth Cohen that first led to his popular blog, \u201cAdvanced Style,\u201d and two books. His latest book, \u201cAdvanced Style: Older and Wiser,\u201d (powerHouse Books) debuted this spring and features another round of \u201cfash-tastic\u201d seniors.\nThe book includes photos of seniors taken all over the world, as well as 22 short essays written by subjects of the book. The message is loud and clear: Fashion is fun and style is uniquely individual.\nTaking a page from Cohen\u2019s book, are some local women d\u2019un certain age who fall in step with those who revel in sartorial splendor. And, it doesn\u2019t matter their age or the health challenges they might face \u2014 looking good makes them feel good.\nLois Stockland, 87, is a resident of The Springs at Monarch Landing in Naperville. She lived independently until 18 months ago when a massive stroke left her without the use of her right hand and with other impairments.\nStockland admits her appearance was always extremely important to her before the stroke \u2014 and it still is. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved fashion and make-up for as long as I can remember,\u201d she says.\nThe staff at The Springs have come to her aid making sure she is fully made-up, beautifully coiffed, and dressed stylishly every day before she even leaves her suite.\nBlack is a basic Stockland likes to pair with brights \u2014 her trademark red and blue, among other lively hues.\nWhile Elaine Spencer isn\u2019t consumed with fashion, she does love to wear new clothes. And she likes the fun of modeling at the annual spring fashion show presented by her retirement community, Smith Village in Beverly.\nAt interview time, Spencer was mulling over what clothing to bring on a September trip with her sister to Ankor Wat in Cambodia. In February, she will be off to Mexico with her son. On these trips she\u2019ll keep her eyes open for her favorite accessory: jewelry. \u201cA lot of my jewelry I\u2019ve gotten overseas\u2014 silver pieces, necklaces, bracelets,\u201d she says.\nLeda Ruffolo, 86, \u201cloves to shop.\u201d Her late husband often told her she could easily earn a black belt in shopping. Ruffolo\u2019s style is classic.\nAs marketing coordinator at Smith Village, Meghan Luce gets to observe this age demographic up close. Luce notes that living in a community such as Smith Village with its activities, events and just every day living, promotes an interest in fashion among the residents.\nThis year Talbots provided the clothes for Smith Village\u2019s popular spring fashion show, where all 160 tickets sold out swiftly. The store\u2019s credo is: \u201cBe your own modern classic,\u201d says Meredith Paley, Talbots\u2019 spokeswoman.\nTo help women achieve that look Talbots has devised their \u201cModern Musts\u201d program.\nEvery month the store features key items or trends that fit and flatter all body types and are available in all sizes.\nLooking to the fall season, Paley sees color and classics.\n\u201cAutumn ushers in a season of luxe with lush cashmeres and plush suedes,\u201d she says, with iconic neutrals paired with unexpected pops of color.\nFor October, Paley says color will show up in prints, solids and accessories that will look great played against fall\u2019s neutrals.",

This season he went for a collision of punk, disco, rap and rock. If this sounds complicated it nonetheless worked because Holloway anchored the tailoring on a Tommy Nutter Savile Row-inspired long and lean silhouette, and that tailor\u2019s fantasy colors. So, there were safety pins, which came from a Joan Jett photo to camouflage and graffiti splattered clothes all making for a good urban uniform. This season the Hogan sneaker is modernized with holographic prints. Simon projected them on a huge wall behind his cast. Punk meeting disco, rap rifling into cool Italian fashion.",

      "Remember a few months ago when you could open up a newspaper just about every day and read a new story about some airline crew or another being illuminated by a ground-based laser? There was rampant speculation in the media and among those who should know better that terrorists were practicing for their latest plan to bring down an airliner or three.\nThen, the speculation and media frenzy\u2014such as it was\u2014all died out, even as cooler heads explained that new, low-powered, green-colored lasers had hit the market and were often being used by amateur astronomers to help with their star-gazing. That was then; this is now.\nNone other than our very own government has taken the idea of lasing aircraft and crews one step further. Beginning around May 21\u2014about the time this magazine hits your mailbox\u2014the folks at the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) will implement something called the Visual Warning System (VWS), a \u201cground-based system that uses safety-tested low-level beams of alternating green and red lights to alert pilots that they are flying without approval in designated airspace,\u201d according to a background document available on the FAA\u2019s Web site.\nThe FAA says the VWS is designed to warn pilots who are violating the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) established over Washington, D.C., and cannot be contacted by radio. The implication is that NORAD will use VWS as a \u201clast resort\u201d prior to attempting to destroy any intruding aircraft. Also according to the FAA, there are no plans \u201cat this time\u201d to expand the VWS beyond the Washington, D.C., area.\nWhile it\u2019s laudable that NORAD and the FAA have gone to such lengths to warn pilots about their presence in the ADIZ, there are a number of problems with this approach. First of all, few pilots outside the D.C. area are even aware of the VWS, even though the FAA has issued a \u201cSpecial Advisory Notice\u201d found in Notam FDC 5/3267 to alert all airmen of the new system. Only a handful of pilots have received a demonstration of the new system, and all of them are intimately familiar with the ADIZ. It\u2019s unlikely that any other pilot would know what was going on and know what to do if illuminated, the contents of the Notam notwithstanding.\nSecond, there have been literally hundreds of ADIZ violations since the ill-conceived airspace was established some two years ago. To date, not a single one of the violators has been accused of being a terrorist.\nThird, the ground-based system won\u2019t work when it\u2019s going to be needed most\u2014when the violating aircraft is above a cloud deck or in low-visibility conditions.\nFinally, we\u2019re not aware of any detailed effort\u2014on either the FAA\u2019s part or NORAD\u2019s\u2014to educate pilots on the VWS. A single Notam buried in the typical pre-flight briefing isn\u2019t even close to enough, especially since nothing like this has ever been tried before outside of ATC light-gun signals.\nThis cure is worse than the disease, and is really only designed to increase the non-flying public\u2019s comfort level and allow bureaucrats to sleep easier. We deserve better.",

      "Telltale Games\u2019 name has become synonymous with unforgettable gaming storytelling. The studio\u2019s gripping video game adaptations of a number of beloved franchises have won over the hearts of millions of devoted fans on all major consoles, computers and mobile devices. The studio is also known for revolutionizing current gaming business models by taking an episodic approach to its releases, with each game divided into periodically released episodes which are later bundled into seasons. Telltale Games\u2019 The Walking Dead series alone has sold more than 30 million episodes.\nWhen you\u2019re releasing a new gaming episode on a regular basis for every major platform out there, you need to be as fast as you can. In order to keep supplying the high-quality games fans know and love, the studio developed the Telltale Tool, an internal game engine used in the development, release and updates of every one of Telltale\u2019s 30+ games. As the internal backbone for all the studio\u2019s games, the Telltale Tool is in constant development mode to add better graphic capabilities and compatibility to new platforms.\nJames Chan, studio manager of core technology at Telltale Games tells us his team is responsible for \u201cengineering, building, and releasing the Telltale Tool as in-house software and on over a dozen platforms worldwide.\u201d Before IncrediBuild, the team would often run over 200 daily builds, with a single build taking up as much as two hours. Although the team was already practicing continuous integration on paper with tools such as Bamboo and BuildBot, the staggering number of daily builds and their runtime meant the Telltale tool team had to find a solution that would be compatible with its release times and dynamic.\nIncrediBuild enabled the Telltale Tool team to use its current hardware, 40 machines, and 16 build servers, to speed up their compilation times by nearly 90%, from 2 hours into 15 minutes per build. Using IncrediBuild meant the team could reap the full benefits of continuous integration by adding an extra layer of speed, which led to building the best product possible. In the end, Telltale\u2019s developers discovered how a significant change in speed allowed them to try out new changes they wanted to test without fear of losing precious time. \u201cWith IncrediBuild we got faster iteration to test changes and reduced time to get new builds\u201d, says chan.",

      "The Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication Service (MRS) is a feature that handles mailbox import, export, migration and restoration requests for Exchange Server. MRS is the principal mechanism used to move a mailbox from a source database to a destination database. Mailbox moves can take place between databases on the same server, and between databases on different servers, different domains, different Active Directory (AD) sites, or different AD forests.\nAdministrators can use the Exchange Management Shell and the Exchange Admin Center to configure and execute mailbox moves. These tools handle moves for a single mailbox but can also perform multiple simultaneous mailbox moves the administrator executes either manually or through the PowerShell New-MigrationBatch or New-MoveRequest cmdlets.\nMicrosoft Exchange Mailbox Replication Service moves mailboxes asynchronously to keep mailboxes online for users during migrations. Exchange generates a content index once the move starts and allows users to search mailboxes once the move completes.\nExchange Server 2013 and Exchange Server 2016 use the same batch move architecture which features large batch support, email notifications with reporting during moves, automatic retry and move prioritizations, movement of personal and archive mailboxes as a group or individually, and recurring resynchronization to incorporate any mailbox changes during the move.\nMRS supports throttling while asynchronous moves execute in the background. Throttling prevents excessive demands for compute or network resources to maintain performance of regular Exchange operations and other applications on the network.\nAdministrators configure MRS through the MSExchangeMailboxReplication.exe.config file located on all client access servers. Administrators can adjust key parameters, such as MaxRetries, RetryDelay, MaxActiveMovesPerSourceServer, MaxActiveMovesPerTargetServer and MaxTotalMovesPerMRS. Each MRS instance, mailbox database or mailbox server can have its own configuration settings.\nAlthough Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Replication Service supports local migrations, the MRS Proxy is required for cross-forest mailbox moves and remote moves between on-premises Exchange deployments and Exchange Online services.\nAdministrators must enable the MRS Proxy in client access servers to facilitate cross-forest and remote move requests. For example, the MRS Proxy must be enabled on source client access servers when moving mailboxes to another forest from the destination -- known as a pull move. The MRS Proxy must be enabled on the destination client access servers when moving mailboxes from the source -- called a push move.\nAny remote moves between on-premises Exchange and Exchange Online require MRS Proxy running on the on-premises client access servers.\nThere are several scenarios where it might be necessary to move a mailbox. As part of the Exchange Server upgrade process, the administrator might transfer mailboxes from the older version to the new version of Exchange. Administrators might move mailboxes to balance database sizes to achieve more uniform database performance or place a user's mailbox in a location closer to the user's physical location to reduce potential latency issues.\nAdministrators also shift a mailbox to diagnose and correct email problems or to address mailbox corruption. To isolate Exchange administration from Windows operating system administration, the IT department can transfer mailboxes into separate AD forests.\nWhat are some of the challenges you have experienced while moving mailboxes on Exchange?",
      "Then there's the matter of \"personal baggage\", which in [Newt] Gingrich's case is a steamer trunk of Titanic proportions. Republicans are strong believers in man-on-woman marriage, so it makes sense that three of the most prominent Presidential possibilities - Daniels, Trump and Gingrich - have married eight times. (Only seven wives, though: Daniels married the same woman twice, with a Grover Cleveland-like four-year interval during which she left him to marry someone else). Gingrich stands out, for hypocrisy (daily demanding Clinton's impeachment which carrying on his own extra-marital affair with a subordinate), brutality (dumping his first wife while she was in treatment for cancer), and chutzpah (attributing his adulteries to \"how passionately I felt about this country\").",

      "Did you pass? If not, don\u2019t worry. By the end of this talk, each of you will have the tools and inspiration you need to pass Fitzgerald\u2019s test\u2014each of you will leave this room with the determination to make a positive difference in the world. But before we get to the secret recipe, let\u2019s take a moment to remind ourselves of why things seem hopeless.\nWe could start with the access to justice gap. In 2017, the Legal Services Corporation reported that in the past year only 14% of the civil legal problems reported by low-income Americans received adequate legal help.\nOr we could look at lawyer well-being. The ABA\u2019s task force found that around 1 in 5 or 1 in 4 lawyers suffer from anxiety, stress or depression. And possibly more than 1 in 3 of us are problem drinkers. By the way, on the depression statistic, that\u2019s four times the rate for the general public.\nThe task force also found that these problems negatively affect our competence and civility. One study found that 40\u201370% of disciplinary proceedings and malpractice claims involve substance use or depression, and often both. Major depression is associated with impaired executive functioning, including diminished memory, attention, and problem solving.\nAs individual members of this profession, we probably all feel at least somewhat hopeless in the face of these numbers. But you\u2019re here today in another capacity as well: as members of the North Carolina Bar Association. And in your role as bar leaders, these findings may be doubly upsetting because these are the very things you have committed to promoting.\nSo, why do these problems make us feel hopeless? Why do they make us want to do this? Well, they\u2019re complex. They\u2019re ambiguous. There\u2019s no clear \u201cright answer.\u201d In other words, these are \u201cwicked problems.\u201d But the good news is that a method has been developed specifically for solving wicked problems. It\u2019s called design thinking. So, today, I\u2019m going to teach you how to think like designer.\nWell you don\u2019t have to take my word for it. It was Einstein who said that \u201cwe can\u2019t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.\u201d Luckily, it\u2019s not going to take me three years to teach you how to think like a designer. In fact, I think I can squeeze it into the next 15 minutes.\nEssentially, there are five core attitudes that make up the design thinking mindset. Thinking like a designer means being curious, creative, collaborative, action-oriented, and experimental. I\u2019m going to show you how to cultivate each of these attitudes in yourself, and why that\u2019s so important.\nLet\u2019s start with curiosity. Curiosity is the key to gaining a deeper understanding of the problem. Not to go overboard with the Einstein quotes, but he did say, \u201cIf I had an hour to solve a problem I\u2019d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.\u201d In other words, we need to understand our problems better.\nBut I realize that it\u2019s not very helpful for me to just tell you to be more curious. To borrow Otto Scharmer\u2019s analogy, that\u2019s kind of like a farmer pointing to a plant and commanding it to \u201cgrow!\u201d It doesn\u2019t work like that. Instead the farmer has to cultivate the soil\u2014to provide the plant with the right conditions so that growth naturally happens. Curiosity works the same way. All you have to do is start paying more attention. Turn off the autopilot in your life, and look around. If you can do that, questions will naturally emerge. And it is through asking questions\u2014of ourselves, our colleagues, our clients\u2014that we gain a deeper understanding of what\u2019s really going wrong.\nSecond, we need creativity to turn that knowledge into insight. This one is kind of like curiosity\u2014how do you just \u201cbe\u201d more creative? The good news is that we are all born with natural creativity. Even if you don\u2019t feel particularly creative, it is a skill that can be re-learned. How? By simply giving your brain space to do what it wants to do.\nIn other words, you have to let yourself get bored! A researcher in the UK asked students to find creative uses for two Styrofoam cups to test their levels of creativity. Before the experiment, she asked one group to carry out the boring task of copying phone numbers from the phonebook. She discovered that those who carried out the boring task found far more uses for the cups than the control group.\nSo, if you do the first bit\u2014you cultivate your curiosity and ask lots of questions\u2014then you need to give yourself some time to digest all that information and discover the insights that are hiding below the surface. You may come to find out that there\u2019s an entirely different way to look at the problem!\nThere was a great example of this in the Harvard Business Review last year. There was an office building where the tenants were complaining about the elevator\u2014it was old and slow and they spent a lot of time waiting. If that\u2019s all the information I give you, and I ask you to diagnose the problem, you would probably say that the elevator is too slow. And if we frame the problem like that, the solutions are pretty obvious: we could replace the elevator or install a stronger motor. But if I asked you to dig deeper, maybe interview the tenants some more, and then really mull over what they said, you might frame the problem entirely differently: it\u2019s not necessarily that the elevator is too slow, it\u2019s that waiting for the elevator is tiresome. When you look at it that way, a whole new set of potential solutions crops up. You could install mirrors and a hand sanitizer dispenser in the lobby, perhaps play some music\u2014just give the tenants something to do while they wait. These solutions have the added benefit of being a whole lot cheaper than a new elevator.\nThird, once you\u2019ve framed the problem (or re-framed it), you\u2019ll generate better solutions to it if you collaborate with a diverse team. Now, I realize our profession has a problem with diversity, and we need to address that. That\u2019s one of those wicked problems we need to be working on. But what can you do differently\u2014starting today\u2014to be a better collaborator? By asking one simple question: \u201cWho\u2019s missing from this conversation?\u201d If you\u2019re working on an issue in your firm, have you talked to everyone who\u2019s affected\u2014partners, associates, paralegals, and admins? If you\u2019re forming a new committee or task force, be intentional about including representatives from as many different stakeholder groups as possible. Having a group of people in the room who think differently from each other is a very good thing when you\u2019re brainstorming solutions.\nFourth, we need to get over analysis paralysis and just get started. It\u2019s imperative that we \u201cbuild to think,\u201d that we refine our ideas through action, not just more discussion.\nIf I show you a picture of a child, it makes sense, right? It\u2019s experiential learning. We have to let our kids try things out for themselves, even if we know they won\u2019t get it right at first. Well, it\u2019s no different for adults. That\u2019s why we do prototyping. Making something tangible quickly, without a ton of time or money having to be invested up front, so you can find out if it\u2019s going to work or not.\nLast month, the local bar association in Portland, OR held a legal hackathon. My team\u2019s project was to help the county courthouse deal with the flood of self-represented litigants. The courthouse was built in 1904, which causes a lot of problems. The layout isn\u2019t intuitive, the halls are echoy and crowded, and the court staff are overwhelmed with questions from the public. You can see that the line sometimes goes out the door and around the building.\nWell, in one day, our hackathon team was able to prototype a solution to address this problem. We uploaded the courthouse floor plans to Google Maps Indoors, which is a free technology. Then we built a simple web app so that someone coming to the courthouse who has a smartphone could figure out what room they need to go to, and navigate directly there without having to ask court staff. The court also has extra iPads on hand because their judges recently switched from iPads to laptops. So the idea is that volunteers such as law students can roam the building with an iPad and if there\u2019s a long line forming, they can help the people in line use the app to figure out if they\u2019re in the right place.\nNow, is this actually going to work? Are people going to want to use it? I have no idea! But the court is going to do a little pilot to test it out. And if it doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s not a big deal because we built it for free in one day.\nAnd, I just need to point out here that part of the reason we could do this kind of rapid prototyping was that we were a diverse team. We had developers who knew about the free Google Maps technology and could do the coding. We had court staff who could provide the floor plans and knew about the extra iPads. And some of our team members had personal experiences going in the courthouse and being confused\u2014like one woman who had gone in for a name change and had no idea what department that would be in\u2014is it civil? family? She had no idea. So that gave us inspiration for the solution.\nLastly, by approaching problem-solving as an experiment, designers no longer see failures as failures. Instead, you just ran a test with unexpected results. You can study what happened and tweak your approach accordingly.\nI read The Power of Habit recently, and it has some wonderful examples of this phenomenon. The basic idea of the book is that we can\u2019t just quit bad habits. Instead, we have to replace the bad habit with a better one. But in order to do that, we have to figure out what triggers the bad habit, and what drives it\u2014what is the pleasurable feeling that we\u2019re subconsciously seeking. The goal is to find a better habit that will provide the same reward.\nSounds simple, right? But it\u2019s really hard to do! That\u2019s why we\u2019re all walking around with so many bad habits! But it is possible if we approach it like an experiment. That\u2019s what Eric did. Eric was a smoker, he had tried to quit several times before, but each time his willpower eventually gave out. After reading The Power of Habit, he realized he needed to try a different approach. He started studying himself\u2014looking for when he had a craving for a cigarette. And he figured out that his cue when he got stressed or anxious. His body was looking for calmness and smoking had become his way of relaxing. So first he tried running as a substitute. That worked for a little while, but then it fizzled out. Then he tried going to a sauna, which was a great way to relax, but he couldn\u2019t do it multiple times a day. So one day he decided to meditate. The great thing about meditation was that he could do it anywhere. If he was standing in line or suddenly felt stressed\u2014times he would normally crave a cigarette\u2014he could just close his eyes and take a moment to breathe, and he could feel himself calm down. Studies suggest that this process of experimentation\u2014and failure\u2014is critical in long-term habit change. Smokers often quit and then start smoking again as many as seven times before giving up cigarettes for good. It\u2019s tempting to see those relapses as failures, but what\u2019s really occurring are experiments. Researchers have shown that as smokers quit and then relapse, they begin to achieve a self-awareness about the cues and rewards that drive their smoking patterns.\nAnd that\u2019s exactly the attitude we need to have when approaching problem solving. We\u2019re not going to fix everything on the first try. But if we can think of what we\u2019re doing as an experiment, then it\u2019s okay when our proposed solution doesn\u2019t work out as we thought. We can study what happened, try to gather some more insights, and then brainstorm some additional ideas to try next time.\nThat\u2019s what happens when we put these five core attitudes together. They become a process. We study the problem by tapping into our awareness and curiosity. Then we reflect on what we\u2019ve learned\u2014and by drawing on our creativity, we may find a way re-frame the problem. By collaborating with a diverse team, we can brainstorm a wider range of possible solutions. Then we devise quick ways to test our ideas, treating the whole thing like an experiment. And if things don\u2019t turn out as planned, we study the situation some more!\nWith this framework, you can start working on the stickiest, most complex problem with confidence that you can move the ball.\nSo, how will you put this into practice? Remember the five tips I gave you: (1) Cultivate curiosity by turning off your autopilot. If you start paying attention, questions will follow. (2) Give yourself space to reflect and get creative. You may uncover insights that cause you to reframe the problem entirely. (3) Bring a diverse group of voices to the table. If you start asking, \u201cWho\u2019s missing from this conversation?\u201d you\u2019ll figure out who\u2019s been left out. (4) Go for action over perfection. Reid Hoffman famously said, \u201cIf you\u2019re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you\u2019ve launched too late.\u201d (5) And lastly, test your idea repeatedly and learn from the early \u201cfailures\u201d\u2014it\u2019s all part of the process.\nIf this still feels a bit daunting, keep in mind that you don\u2019t need to tackle the well-being of the entire profession right off the bat. You can start small. I just spent the last two days with a Big Law partner in South Carolina and we used this method to tackle problems she was having in her individual practice. You can do the same. Pick a problem in your life and run it through this cycle. You can do it as a sprint, for example block of one afternoon to run through all the steps. Or give yourself a week\u2014Monday for gathering data, Tuesday for reflecting, etc.\nIf even that feels like a bit too much, then consider checking one of your local Meetup groups. The North Carolina Legal Hackers group meets in Charlotte and the Carolinas Design Thinkers group meets in the Raleigh area.\nIf you\u2019re looking for an even easier way to dip your toe in, I invite you to join my next virtual office hours, which happens to be this coming Monday at noon Eastern. You can pop in for a few minutes to ask a specific question\u2014like \u2018what the heck is Meetup?\u2019\u2014or you can stay for the whole hour and be a part of the conversation.\nWhatever you choose to do, just remember that when you start approaching problems with this attitude, it\u2019s impossible for things not to get better. Because design is inherently optimistic. That is its power.",

      "I\u2019ve always been a firm believer that the two most important things that make a business successful are ethical marketing and sales. Marketing is simply placing a great product in the right place, at a fair price and right time. But this can become confusing for some of us without a fundamental understanding of the marketing mix.\nIt\u2019s a combination of the four Ps, which are product, price, promotion and place. Let\u2019s take a more detailed look at each of them.\nWe\u2019ll begin with your Product and this can be an item or service. Either way, it\u2019s what you intend to sell to the public. The first step is to identify the emotional or other benefits of your product.\nA benefit can be defined as the outcome of purchasing your product. However, don\u2019t confuse this with features, which are what your product has or is.\nFor example, when you install an analytics software on your server to track incoming and outgoing traffic to your website, the tracking ability is a feature. The benefit is that you can use the collected data to make informed business decisions that\u2019ll lead to more sales.\nLet\u2019s assume that you bought a bright lamp. In this case, the brightness is a feature but the benefit is being able to read or see in the dark. The warmth that comes from the lamp is also a benefit if it keeps you warm on cold days or nights.\nThe next P of the marketing mix is Price. This is where you need to think about the cost of your object or service. Questions you\u2019ll need to ask include how competitive will your pricing be compared to the current market? Is your target customer price sensitive? Or does cost even matter to them?\nOnce you\u2019ve decided on that, you\u2019ll need to look at Promotion.\nThat quote is spot on! If no one knows about what you do or sell, nothing is really going to happen. This is where you should think about timing, where and how you want to get your message out to consumers (when, where and how).\nFor instance, since I offer SEO services, my preference is to reach out to entrepreneurs that have already \u2018gotten their feet wet\u2019 with operating their business. Why?\nThat\u2019s because those are the people who are most likely to need my help with customer growth. These warriors are often ready to take their companies to the next level.\nPlace relates to where your buyers are or where they would go to find your product. This can be several places such as online or in store. Depending on the nature of your business, you may also need sales reps to push your products.\nFor example, passerby traffic and online searchers using Google, Bing or Yahoo will notice a spa or hair salon that\u2019s located on a busy street. So promotion tactics should be primarily focused on getting the most out of those channels.\nThe spa could place a floor standing sign holder outside its door to advertise any upcoming events and promotions such as discounts or packages. They could also optimize their Google My Business listing and website to reach consumers that are searching for their services online.\nWhy is The Marketing Mix So Important?\nBy now, it\u2019s probably obvious that you shouldn\u2019t ignore the marketing mix as a tool for making key marketing decisions like which strategies are best for your organization? What\u2019s the real reason people buy your product? Where do your target customers hang out? How will you spread your message?\nAll of these questions and more can be answered simply by using the tool. That\u2019s exactly what the marketing mix is, a tool that helps us market our products better! It\u2019s the starting point of all marketing plans and should not be neglected.\nAlso, remember that it\u2019s the combination of everything in the marketing mix that contributes to success, not just one thing.\nWhat if you had an easy way to remember the marketing mix? Something that you could easily take with you wherever you go. Wouldn\u2019t that be nice? Well, I thought so too! And that\u2019s why I\u2019ve put together a nifty infographic that will help you remember to use this tool every time you need to revisit your marketing plan or create one.",

She's excellent at capturing classic poses, as well as sweet, candid moments. She has a sweet personality that made us feel safe to be ourselves around her, and that came through in our photos. I really appreciated her 1) attention to detail (such as positioning us in the most flattering way possible during staged/classic shots), 2) desire to take epic shots during our photo shoots (which involved lying on her stomach in the middle of a busy road to get the perfect shot and extending the photo shoot . . .\n. . . a little longer because the light was getting better), 3) preparedness (she arrived early to scope out scenic locations for the shoot), and 4) artistic intuition (if she found inspiration in our surroundings, which she did a lot, she captured it).

      "After Your Commercial Property In Fort Myers Experiences A Fire Damage Emergency, Our Crew Is Here To Help!\nTemporary closures can impact revenues. Contact SERVPRO of N. Ft. Myers / Punta Gorda at (941) 575-5910 now.\nIt is not uncommon for a busy restaurant to experience a kitchen fire. Firefighters can contain a fire to a small area, but damages can be inflicted on appliances and ventilation. In some situation, billowing smoke can enter the dining area leaving behind soots or smoke residues. Often these residues come from protein fires which involve the burning of animal fats. What is left behind is a thick set residue and a very unpleasant odor that could force temporary closure.\nWe can provide a crew of professionally qualified restoration experts for commercial fire damage in Fort Myers. Our experience in working with commercial property managers is extensive as well as working closely with insurance adjusters local to the area. In the case of soot and smoke deposits, acting quickly is essential. Firefighting procedures involve water which can cause soot to set into fabrics causing permanent damage.\nSERVPRO restoration method involves conducting a thorough pre-test of the affected area to decide which techniques and equipment are going to be most effective. Different types of material burn at different temperatures, meaning that no two fires are the same. Testing soots can help us to clean more efficiently as well as prioritizing certain aspects of the routine. Fabrics, for example, are likely to be treated first due to the greater risk of permanent damage if left to sit.\nSmoke travels into clean air rising toward the ceilings of the property. Where there is ventilation or an air duct, thick smokes can enter leaving behind soot and odor. SERVPRO has technicians with multi-disciplinary training including HVAC & Air Duct restoration. We can enter, assess and restore these crucial elements to help get your business get back to work as quickly as possible.\nThe most successful way of tackling odors is by finding the source. At times, an odor may linger after appliances and surfaces are clean. SERVPRO can bring in industrial grade thermal foggers to deodorize the area thoroughly. Thermal foggers vaporize solvent which acts as a pairing agent, finding and attaching itself to odor particles. These particles are then neutralized.",
      "Though the preliminary practices are presented as introductory meditations in the world of Tibetan Buddhism, they are so complex that it sometimes seems like we need a PhD in Buddhism just to get started. Fortunately, these practices, known in Tibet as Ngondro, are more than worth the effort. Here is a list of books that will help you find your way if you\u2019re just beginning, and inspire your practice if you\u2019re a seasoned practitioner.\nTergar's Vajrayana Online program offers an extensive course in Ngondro practice. Click here for more information.\nIf you\u2019re looking for a classic work on the subject, look no further. This is a masterpiece of Buddhist literature. Keep in mind that this was written for a very different audience, so some of the stories and perspectives may seem out of touch with the modern world, but if you can get past some of the more traditional elements of this book, you\u2019ll find a treasury of wisdom and practical advice on the preliminaries. This book is essential reading for all Ngondro practitioners.\nKhenpo Ngawang Pelzang, one of the greatest Tibetan masters of the early 20th century, was the heart student of Lungtok Tenp\u00e9 Nyima, the Dharma heir of Patr\u00fcl Rinpoche. When Khenpo Ngawang studied Words of My Perfect Teacher, Khenpo Ngawang recorded his teacher\u2019s explanations and compiled them in this work. This book expands upon Patr\u00fcl Rinpoche\u2019s teachings, offering practical advice on the preliminary practices and profound explanations of core Buddhist teachings. Another must read for all Ngondro practitioners.\nKongtr\u00fcl\u2019s Torch of Certainty is short, but if you\u2019re looking for a good overview of the preliminary practices, especially as presented in the Karma Kagy\u00fc lineage, then this book is invaluable. In addition to Kongtr\u00fcl\u2019s presentation, Judith Hanson (who translated the text) also included some wonderful interviews with Kalu Rinpoche, Deshung Rinpoche, and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.\nThis collection of texts includes two short teachings by Jigm\u00e9 Lingpa that were the basis for Patr\u00fcl Rinpoche\u2019s Words of My Perfect Teacher (mentioned above), as well as a lengthy commentary on the preliminary practices by contemporary Buddhist teacher Dzongsar Khyents\u00e9 Rinpoche. The book also includes a long introduction that presents an overview of the Nyingma lineage and other sections on the nine yanas and other topics.\nDzongsar Rinpoche shows that genuine spiritual practice, not least the Ngondro preliminaries, will not bring the kind of comfort and ease most worldly people crave. Quite the opposite, in fact. But if your ultimate goal is enlightenment, Ngondro practice is a must, and Not for Happiness your perfect guide, containing everything an aspiring practitioner needs to start to practice.\n2 responses on \"Recommended Books for Ngondro Practitioners\"\nWhat a great list. I really enjoyed \u201cEntrance to the Great Perfection\u201d and there are few more here I need to get!\nDzongsar Khyentse also has a wonderful new book on ngondro, called Not For Happiness, that I found extremely inspiring.",

      "Discussion in 'Jailbreaks and iOS Hacks' started by 1984world, May 17, 2014.\nLooks like there might be a legit jailbreak for 7.1.1. Wonder if i0n1c will release it. I'm betting not.\nBut those jailbreaks are held to preserve the exploits and will never see the light of day for public release.\nStefen Esser is very talented, doesn't surprise me in the least he has a working jailbreak. That said, there may be others also but they don't advertise it otherwise their Twitter \"hate mail\" goes ballistic from those demanding a release.\nKeep in mind also, the process he and others use to get that jailbreak may be so technical none of us could possibly perform it for ourselves.\nEsser actually says his process was fairly simple. Not sure if he's bragging or serious. In either case, I think it's best they hold it for ios8 and release it with a new operating system, preferably nice and early like they did with ios7. That was really nice to get a jailbreak from these guys very soon (before xmas) after the ios was released.\nThere's more chance of apple giving us a jailbreak than his being released.\nHe would rather sell it to Apple than release a public JB.\nSo what if he doesn't go around releasing jailbreaks. Isn't it cool enough that he shows that it can be done? It must take a hell of a lot of talent to jailbreak these iOS's. We have a 7.0.6 jb, an upgrade to 7.1.1 while a nice want isn't even close to being a need.\nNo doubt it's cool and he's good at what he does but he's still a complete self-centered tool.",

      "On July 2, as a part of the Penn State Department of Architectural Engineering Centennial Celebration, I presented a seminar titled Learning From Building Failures to an audience of practitioners and AE students. The continuing education seminar focused on studying building failures to assist in the investigation of failures as a part of forensic practice or to become a better structural engineering designer by avoiding the mistakes of others.\nIdentifying Trends: Another theme of the seminar was that of identifying trends in failures as they realte to specific building types or assemblies. Specific examples discussed included identification of trends related to metal-plate wood trusses (ie lack of temporary or permanent bracing) and engineered metal buildings (problems related to purlin design and bracing). Forensic analysis and review involves keeping an open mind during the investigation but trend information can be used to help identify the problem at hand or as a means of elimination of possible causes.\nHistorical Case Studies: Case studies from historical failures are often an excellent source of information for engineers and forensic investigators. A good place to start the learning process is going direct to the Failures Wiki, or using the link on this site. Failuire examples available for review range form roof collapses, or full building collapses to facade defects and waterproofing issues.\nMore Information: Additional infromation on the Learning from Failures Seminar or failures education at Penn State is available by providing a comment to this post.\ni want know what full information did u give on the learning from buildings failures.\nThe session was fairly short so it basically was an overview on building failures. Our discussion included general causes of structural and architectural failures. One of the features was a quick look at a number of historical failure case studies to see what lessons had (and had not ) been learned. From this we noted the role of human or procedural errors in so many failures. We also looked at a couple of examples of failure trends so that investigators and educators can identify common problems that occur. For this part of the program, I discussed some of the common problems with metal plated wood trusses and engineered metal buildings.\nA full day seminar is being planned as a continuing and distance education class as part of a new initiative at Penn State. Dates will be announced later in the spring.",

      "Central committee members of the CPGB-ML met with representatives of the south Korean Peace Expedition to the UK in London in September. The representatives were in Britain to rally support for the upcoming actions organised in south Korea, promoting peace on the Korean peninsula and opposing the installation of the aggressive US imperialist Terminal High Altitude Air Defence (THAAD) system on their country\u2019s territory. The peace campaigners are also advocating friendly relations with the socialist Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the north, with a view to advancing the peaceful reunification of their country without outside interference from foreign powers.\nIn south Korea, we were told, there is harsh repression of anybody who opposes the government\u2019s abject submission to US imperialist interests. The National Security Law introduced by the Japanese at the time of their occupation of Korea is still in force. One of the representatives had only recently been released from prison after a two-year term imposed for peaceful protest.\nIn 2013/14, the progressive UPP (the United Progressive Party) was banned and forcefully dispersed by the president in December 2015. Its five elected members were ejected from the national assembly.\nThe PDP (People\u2019s Democracy Party) was formed by some former UPP members in 2016 as a legal party to defend similar progressive policies. It was involved in organising a demonstration of 17 million people demanding the removal of former president Pak Geun Hye, daughter of a military dictator, who is now imprisoned for corruption.\nThe PDP considers that the massive joint military exercises, known as Ulchi Freedom Guardian, which took place in September under the auspices of US imperialism, represent a great danger to the region, and the peace delegation to Britain aimed to raise awareness of the south Korean people\u2019s opposition to US bellicosity. They took part in protests at Trafalgar Square, RAF Menwith Hill (which is used by the US National Security Agency [NSA]), and at US military bases in Scotland and Oxford.\nAt the same time, the PDP dispatched two other teams, one to Washington and the other to Okinawa, the island south of Japan, where there is a heavy concentration of US troops and military bases. The team sent to Britain also spent several days in Cyprus, another divided country, where they found that people strongly sympathised with the Korean desire for reunification.\nThe representatives stated that there was general opposition in south Korea to THAAD, but it had still been installed, despite many people trying with their own bodies to block roads to prevent this happening.\nWe were told that the PDP particularly condemns the US-imperialist-led joint military exercises that take place annually, targeting the DPRK as the enemy and escalating every year in size and power. The threat these aggressive \u2018war games\u2019 pose has forced the DPRK to develop nuclear weapons as the only possible guarantee of peace on the peninsula, which, in the opinion of the PDP, it has every right to do in these circumstances.\nThe present government of Mun Jae In that replaced that of Pak after this year\u2019s elections is not standing with the people, but instead is relying on foreign troops and demanding an increase in sanctions against the DPRK. There have been huge candlelight protests against the government\u2019s actions. Sanctions may well lead to war, which nobody wants.\nIn order to please the Japanese government, and as part of a deal that was supposed to settle the matter once and for all, the south Korean authorities agreed in 2015 to remove a statue that had been erected in memory of the \u2018comfort women\u2019 opposite the Japanese embassy in Seoul.\nThe women it commemorated had been forced into sexual slavery by the imperial Japanese army during WW2. Since 1992, former comfort women and their supporters have been protesting every Wednesday outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul, and the statue was commissioned to mark the thousandth Wednesday protest.\nThe statue shows a seated young girl bravely bearing her suffering, but the more that the south Korean government kowtows to Japanese imperialism, the more these statues are being erected all over the country, and in other countries with Korean expatriate populations. In September, five buses in Seoul have featured a full-sized replica of the statue sitting in their front seat, and they will also be erected in various public places around the country.\nBesides its progressive stance on independent reunification, removal of US troops and armaments from Korea, an end to provocative military exercises and sanctions, and so on, the PDP also has progressive policies demanding the confiscation of \u2018black money\u2019 and the provision of free education and healthcare.\nThe peace delegates also mentioned that the probable cause of the 16 April 2014 ferry disaster in south Korea, in which nearly 300 high school students died, was believed to be a collision with a submarine during the course of the US-south Korean military exercises that took place between 24 February and 18 April, a fact that has been kept quiet by imperialism and the south Korean government alike.\nThe CPGB-ML expressed its support for the People\u2019s Democracy Party and its progressive policies and thanked the delegation cordially for contacting us and informing us of what is happening in south Korea; information that cannot readily be gleaned from the bourgeois media.",

      "SOMERSET - The Golden Eagles wrestling team gave the Somerset senior night fans a lot to cheer about as the Eagles overpowered visiting Conemaugh Township 57-12 on Thursday.\nThe Indians were able to win only four bouts, one by a pin at 112 by Matt Ofansko, while the Eagles piled up a total of six pins, two forfeit wins and two wins by decisions.\nConemaugh Township fans even saw their top wrestler, Robert Horner go down to defeat for the first time this season. Horner lost a hard fought 2-1 decision to Somerset's Josh Mosgrave. The defeat was Horner's first in 15 matches.\nScoring falls for the Golden Eagles were: B.J. Shultz (119), Lance Faidley (125), Josey Jano (135), Jared Hay (145), David Heining (215) and Dorsey Berkebile (275).\n\"It is nice to win,\" Roger Baer, Somerset head coach said. \"They did really, really good tonight. I was pleased. Mosgrave's bout was a highlight. Bertie (Horner) came in there undefeated. It was a nice win for us.\n\"There were a lot of guys who wrestled well. Jake Johns did an excellent job. He held him (Kevin Slezak) off for the last couple of seconds to get the win,\" Baer pointed out. Johns and Slezak battled each other tough with Johns squeezing out an 8-7 decision.\nQuickest fall of the evening came at 275, the first bout of the dual meet, when Dorsey Berkebile pinned the Indians' Matt Mlaker in 27 seconds to give the Eagles an early 6-0 lead.\nEric Wheeler picked up a forfeit at 103 to stretch Somerset's margin to 12-0.\nTownship got on the board when 112-pounder Matt Ofansko pinned Kyle Murray to cut the Eagles' lead to 12-6.\nPins by B. J. Shultz and Lance Faidley put the Eagles up by a 24-6 margin.\nGreg Sleek decisioned Somerset's Ben Svonavec 5-1 at 130 to make the score 24-9.\nJosey Jano's pin at 135 increased Somerset's lead to 30-9.\nThe final team points of the evening for the Indians came at 140 when Township's Brian LeHew eked out a 3-2 decision over Dan Freeman to set the score at 30-12.\nCoach Baer's Eagles went on a roll from that point on, winning the next six bouts to set the final score at 57-12.\n\"Once you get the momentum going it is hard. I just hope that it is good momentum to go into the Richland Duals this Saturday,\" coach Baer stated.\nFinal home meet for the 3-7 Eagles will be Feb. 1 when they host Central High School.",

      "Our son Sean is two. He used to sleep well, but the past few weeks have been terrible. We think he might be having nightmares. He wakes up screaming and when we rush to his room he\u2019s sobbing and clings to us like a little monkey. But he doesn\u2019t stop crying for quite awhile, and he sometimes pushes us away while we are trying to comfort him. He doesn\u2019t remember anything in the morning but his vocabulary is pretty limited, so I don\u2019t even think he can tell us what\u2019s bothering him. What should we do?\nSean may be having nightmares, or he may be having night terrors. Both can occur in two year olds, and the best approach is somewhat different for each, but there are some things that you can during the daytime that will be helpful in both situations.\n\u2022 Night Terrors. A child who is having a night terror will awaken her parents by the sounds of her crying, screaming, and thrashing about. When her parents rush in to her, she will continue to cry, seemingly unaware of their presence. Her eyes may be wide open but she will have a glazed, staring expression. If her parents try to comfort her she will act as though they aren't there or even push them away. If they manage to wake her from her screaming, she may look at them in dazed confusion, because she will have no memory of having been crying. If she sees her parents looking at her in horror, for no apparent reason, she may then begin to cry, not knowing why they are so upset.\nA night terror is a very frightening experience for parents, but it is not frightening for a child. That's because a night terror takes place at a very deep stage of sleep. Even though it is very hard for a parent to watch a child cry or scream this way and to feel as though there is no way to help, it is truly better if parents can let the night terror run its course. Your child will continue to cry, perhaps for five minutes, perhaps for as long as a half an hour. She will then go back to sleep without difficulty. You don\u2019t have to do anything at that point or talk about it the next day, because it\u2019s over!\nSometimes night terrors occur several times a week and are a result of being overtired or over stimulated during the day. Make sure that your child gets a nap if he still needs one (he does, for sure, at age two) and that you don\u2019t have days overflowing with activities and no down time, even if he seems to be having fun.\n\u2022 Nightmares: A nightmare is a dream in which something occurs that frightens a child, usually enough to cause her to awaken, crying or calling for help. When you go to her, she is awake, crying or asking you to hold and comfort her. After you comfort her, letting her know that she has had a \"bad dream\" but that you are there, she probably will relax and settle down, but she may not want you to leave..\nUnless sleeping with your child is very disruptive to your own sleep, there is no harm in letting her spend the rest of the night with you, either in her room or yours. Most children will not develop a night waking pattern if parents respond in this way to an occasional nightmare. Nightmares, unlike night terrors, do not usually take place night after night. If they do, it\u2019s important to figure out if something is bothering your child beyond the usually stresses of everyday life.\nIn my experience, nightmares can be the result of watching television or videos that are made for children but still have images or sound effects that are frightening. If the stories include adventures in which a child or parent figure is lost, most young children will be disturbed, even if they don\u2019t seem to be bothered while watching. At night, they think or dream about the shows they have seen and replay them as nightmares. It\u2019s best to limit young children to the shows that are designed for very young children. A good guideline is that if the storyline matches the stories your child enjoys in picture books it\u2019s age appropriate.\nChildren may have nightmares or night terrors when they are coping with stressful events during their daytime hours. The stress may be easy to identify, such as a parent traveling or being less available. Sometimes the stresses are more subtle, such as a change in teachers at child care, or transition from a vacation. Even if you can't eliminate the cause of stress, it\u2019s usually helpful to your child if you spend more time with him in the evening, pay more attention to maintaining bedtime rituals, and make sure that daytime routines are as regular as possible.",

      "ALPHA President and founder, Kingsley Ekweariri writes: \" I am thrilled and delighted to be part of this year\u2019s World Trade Organization Business forum in Geneva.\"\nWTO business forum 2018, offered an incredible opportunity to network, connect and partner with delegates from the world\u2019s top policymakers and firmly put our platform at the hands of key decision makers around the world as we seek recognition as Africa largest Industrial business platform and to promote the launch of Africa\u2019s largest Trade, Transport and Energy Summit in Ghana next year October, 2019.\nAfrica represents what is probably the biggest continent with large infrastructural projects and a wealth of mineral resources. With vast infrastructure projects available in line with the greatest landmass and growing demand for export commodities. Substantial extent for these commodities originates from major industries, procured out of Africa, manufactured abroad and exported back to Africa.\nALPHA was developed because of growing domestic consumer demand, rapidly increasing African infrastructural development and a steady increase in continental trade. With endless logistics opportunities becoming available as Africa places itself squarely at the center of the global value chain, ALPHA is an initiative to connect a vital continent in transition to the heart of the global supply chain market.\nAs trade and investment activity between Africa and the rest of the world increases, the need for high level and well-informed discussions on the realities and complexities of doing business at this major event is more necessary than ever. There is a huge demand from people outside of Africa to gain accurate insights into how to succeed in what can often be undoubtedly very challenging and difficult trading conditions. Next year, our platform launches an incredible business networking platform called ATTES and the first of its kind in the Africa soil.\nThe launch will welcome a diverse range of well-informed professionals and is designed to put ALPHA firmly on the world\u2019s map as a new and rapidly developing force, capable of opening up new business horizons and profitable trading opportunities, while founded on the bedrock of expertise, an extensive communications network and high levels of cooperation.\nThe event will provide a chance to find answers to key questions in relation to doing business in Africa today, to meet and network with influential investors and potential business partners, while rubbing shoulders with those at the heart of current economic growth on a continent that is witnessing a sea change in terms of its trading outlook.",

      "If your life is unbalanced, then it\u2019s like driving a car on square wheels\u2026 it will get you to the finish line, but you sure as heck won\u2019t enjoy the ride as well if it were round and balanced!\nI often see people get on a new workout routine, a new diet, or most often just plain devoid themselves of proper sleep daily. I RARELY see people choose to do all three disciplines simultaneously in the proper dosages. While the New Year\u2019s resolutions are still fresh in people\u2019s minds and hopefully haven\u2019t yet been discarded, I wanted to talk about the merits of what I call \u201cThe Triangle\u201d.\nSee what happens is that we typically only pick one of the three disciplines and in fact may sacrifice the other two in order to make time for this new found goal. So we exercise and lose a little weight and then after a short duration begin to plateau and wonder why we keep at the same intensity but aren\u2019t losing weight at the same pace. In fact, we may shorten our nightly sleep in order to get up early enough to hit the gym before heading off to work. After a period of time that lack of sleep catches up with us and makes us moody, prevents us from losing weight as quickly or gaining muscle because we aren\u2019t giving ourselves enough time to properly heal and recover through sleep. Top it off with a poor diet and it\u2019s no wonder that we get sick and then just plain give up on the goal altogether. I could go through many other scenario\u2019s, but the effect has been made as you can hopefully see; paying attention to only one or two of the three can lead you to a bumpy road.\nregarding sleep. Each person varies, but the standard is about 8 hours. I only need about 6 hours daily unless I\u2019m in race season and training for anything beyond a \u00bd Ironman event. Then, my body will tell me that there are many days I need to sleep 9 hours, not 6! Perhaps that\u2019s also because I\u2019m burning on average about 6,000 calories minimum a day and consuming food like it\u2019s going out of style. There are many applications out there now that can monitor your sleep habits and help you determine where you should be. Personally, I\u2019ve used an application called VidaOne MySportTraining for many many years now. I love this application because it can track my sleeping habits (quality & time), my activity level for the day, mood (Great, Fine, Sick, Injured, Tired, etc.) along with a ton of other features. This way I can run a report and see if I am feeling fatigued whether I am overtraining and under sleeping, drinking enough water, eating enough calories or too many, etc.\nYes, I am aware of the million reasons we all sacrifice on our sleep, but that\u2019s for your psychologist to solve, not me. J The fact is you need it just like you need air, it\u2019s up to you.\nFor most people, an average workout can be achieved so long as you aren\u2019t devouring on food throughout the day. Again, I\u2019ll turn to VidaOne since it also tracks my diet. There are many other options out there (Calorie King, Training Peaks, etc.), but if you want to keep track of how much food you eat and how much fluid you consume, then you need something reliable and easy to access. Be realistic, you aren\u2019t going to keep using a product that lets you input your meals on your desktop only. Why, because who\u2019s really going to remember everything they ate throughout the day and the time they ate and how many cookies (was it 4 or 5)\u2026 I mean carrots! J So find a solution that let\u2019s you easily enter the information on the fly, at your desk, at a guest computer, on a piece of paper, wherever you like; so long as you keep it consistently and accurately. I can enter all this information on my cell phone or desktop and sync the information to each other without conflicts.\nNutrition is my Achilles heel of the three disciplines. I like my baby back ribs, pizza, cake, etc. If I only ate Sushi, carrots, and the other healthy items on the menu, then I\u2019d bet my overall performance would increase by 5-10%. It isn\u2019t worth it to me. I\u2019d recommend you speak with a dietitian on how to best accomplish a nutritious diet, but my general rule of thumb that keeps me healthy is to choose the dessert or the wine, not both. I try to eat small meals 5 times a day, not 3 big meals. If you eat small at the start of the day and a big dinner you\u2019ll look like scenario 1 below. Rather try to eat a good breakfast and smaller meals towards the end and you\u2019ll look like scenario 2.\nThis guy is way fat!!\nFollow the rules on water consumption based on my height and weight, not just 8 glasses a day. For my height 5\u20197\u2033 and weight 152 pounds, that means I drink a minimum of 80 ounces of water a day. It\u2019s easy to measure with a reusable water bottle and an application. Also, if you drink all that \u201cpure\u201d clean water, or softened water, it probably removed all those necessary minerals, so take a supplement that puts all those minerals back into your system. A multi-vitamin won\u2019t cut it. Personally, I like the solutions from First Endurance MultiV which is a vitamin and multi-nutrient.\nIf you want to burn more calories stay in zone 1 & 2 and briefly hit zone 3 for short durations in your workout. Want to build your endurance and overall health better? Hit Zones 3 & 4 and peak into Zone 5 through some sprints to really get yourself cooking. There are arguments on this that go back and forth, therefore, my general rule of thumb: Just get out there and exercise! Mix it up, you\u2019ll waste your money at the gym if you do the same routine all the time. Why? Because you\u2019re going to get bored and stop going, but that contract will keep you paying!!!! If you live in season climates, then use that to change up your sports or exercise routine. I went out for a snow shoe run on Sunday and man was that not only a blast, but a great change in routine. If you hit the weights, change the routine or you will plateau. See my prior blog entry on winter and vacation exercise options for more suggestions.\nand then telling everyone about it to keep you on your goal. You\u2019ve spent the money on the entry fee, the gear, the training plan, and everyone you know is rooting you on! It\u2019s a heck of a lot harder to back out now. To maximize your potential of completing that goal, join with a friend. There\u2019s nothing better than a workout buddy to keep you honest. It\u2019s much tougher to say \u201cI\u2019m not working out today\u201d when you have to answer to your workout partner.\nYes, once again I turn to my software application to track my workouts. This is probably the most motivating source of joy I have when it comes to working out. I can look at my workout calendar results and it gets me all excited to see that I\u2019ve worked hard this month (or for months) and to see the results. I also can look at the calendar and see by color code if I have been pushing myself too hard and that\u2019s why I am fatigued. I can run reports galore to analyze the data and see where I need to make a tweak. For most people this is overkill, but the point is that you can pick the items you want and it likely will have the answer. You don\u2019t have to go overboard, just keep it simple.\nFinally, it\u2019s a choice to make this a priority in your life. I take the approach of \u201cI get to do this!!!\u201d vs. \u201cI have to do this.\u201d What a difference in attitude and what a difference in outcome. Remember, life is an endurance sport, it\u2019s not a sprint. The joy is in the journey, so remember to enjoy what you\u2019re doing. If you can implement \u201cThe Triangle\u201d, I can guarantee you will have more energy, clarity of mind, and be more fulfilled on a regular basis.\nIf your life is unbalanced, then it\u2019s like driving a car on a square wheel\u2026 it will get you to the finish line, but you sure as heck won\u2019t enjoy the ride as well if it were round and balanced!\nJoin with a friend to keep you going.\nI Get to do this vs. I have to do this.\nBalance it all so that you make it a lifestyle!\nAwesome post.

Every year when I have my general physical I\u2019ll print up my sleep hours chart, saturated fat intake chart, and blood pressure charts and show them to my doctor. He\u2019s always impressed that I\u2019ve been able to keep track of everything.\nI am hoping though that one day VidaOne decides to use a cloud server for their data because sometimes when I travel and store my data on my PDA, I worry that I\u2019ll lose the device, or it\u2019ll crash, etc and all of my trainings and meals for that period will just vanish. Mind you, it hasn\u2019t happened yet, but it\u2019s always in the back of my mind.",

      "Lucy is a fantastic person and hard working Filipino living in Manila. She had saved money for more than 40 years since 1976 working as a cook and housekeeper. Throughout that time, in addition to saving, she has supported her son and other extended family.\n2 years ago she was recommended a developer by a neighbor and she spent her life savings of 480,000 PHP ($9,150 USD) to renovate her house for retirement. The developer told her it would take 2 months. 2 months dragged into 2 years of broken promises and multiple trips back to her home province taking away from her work and costing her traveling expenses.\nSince the developer was not keeping his word, she has been forced to take legal action. Lucy's home that is in need of renovation is not near Manila and she has spent even more money on legal fees and visits to her home province to try to rectify the situation which has taken a big toll on her finances, time, and given her anxiety.\nUpon legal action, it has been discovered that the developer has duped a few other people as well, has none of the money anymore, and is apparently terminally ill. With no money that can be recovered, I decided this is my first truly honest crowdfunding scenario that I can organize that has crossed my path.\nMy name is Andrew Yoo and i'm originally from Los Angeles CA and i'm currently one of Lucy's employers in Manila. Lucy is an amazing person! She's intelligent, a fantastic chef, and takes great care of me, my wife, and our cat. Over the last 1.5 years I have gotten to know Lucy and I deeply respect her as a person and her work. Over that time I have also learned about her home situation and I only recently discovered how much she has lost and the bleak outlook on any remediation from the developer.\nLucy has done everything right in a country that has made savings even more challenging than in the US. I was deeply upset imagining saving for 40 years and to lose it all away by being cheated, but I am also hopeful that with some help we can restore this non-unsurmountable amount. Please help me help Lucy as I can see pain and anxiety in her eyes as she told me about these events.\nIt would be fantastic to reach $10k which would cover the loses to the developer and offset a portion of the legal and travel fees. My family is planning on leaving back to the US in June 2019 and it would be best to hand deliver her money before we leave the Philippines. Lucy will get all the money raised by this page.",
      "This webpage is about my experiences with different education programs. I want to share some of the challenges I encountered in the traditional classroom setting and the success I achieved through online education. My hope is to encourage others who like me want to achieve goals of personal and professional growth through higher education but have not pursued these because of family, work and other commitments in their lives. Education has increased my self esteem, sharpened my technical and managerial skills and given me greater insight into the role of leadership in government, business and our community. Education has helped me further my career goals. I sincerely hope that you will feel encouraged to achieve yours too.\nYou will be surprised at the large number of adults with full time jobs and families who like me have returned to school through online classrooms and education programs. Many online vocational, technical, undergraduate and graduate level programs are available to you - I am sure some of these will suit your needs. Don't give up on your dreams, hopes and aspirations. Discover what educational options are available to you and press on! Here is a link to an Article Summary I wrote during my MBA program titled adults who do it all. This article addresses the challenges faced by adults with families and careers who return to school to pursue their goals of higher education thanks to online education programs.\nI retired from the U.S. Army about ten years ago to face stern competition in private industry. Armed with a Bachelor's degree from University of Maryland, the experience I gained in the field of Information Technology (IT) while in the Army, and a heart full of hope I secured a good job and decent salary. However, I soon learned that in private industry, just as in the service besides hard work and discipline, higher education and technical training are the best means to further one's career. Clearly, education empowers you with knowledge and skills to help you perform better and can ultimately help you command better jobs and higher salaries.\nI believe that in this, our new global economy one must become familiar and maintain some level of proficiency in new emerging technologies. Consider the impact that outsourcing for example has had not just on our economy but on the types of jobs available and those that are not. Some of the jobs we considered \"high tech\" a few years ago like programming and help-desk support are now being outsourced to other countries. Yes, at the end of the day profit will determine whether a programmer is hired here in the US or whether the work will be exported to another country for substantially less money. Getting certifications from Microsoft, Novell and Cisco gave me a competitive edge over my peers in terms of job assignments and salary.\nAlmost three years ago my wife Evelyn encouraged me to enroll in a graduate level online education program with University of Phoenix. Of all my education experiences, the UoP program proved the one best suited for my personal needs and aspirations - quite frankly, the one I have enjoyed most in my life. What I enjoy most about the UoP online education program is flexibility in terms of where and when I can attend class.\nI was on vacation in Amsterdam with my wife Evelyn about three years ago when I attended my first online session with UoP. I remember just as if it was last week, walking through downtown Amsterdam from our hotel room to one of many Internet Cafes, and loging on to my class chatroom to participate in ongoing discussion threads. I even submitted my first research paper online the very next day after our arrival on vacation there. I kept up with my homework and participate in class while working in Canada and Germany, and while on vacation in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and the New Jersey shore. By the way, Evelyn and I celebrated our first year wedding anniversary in Spain. While there, I was able to attend class online too. A few months later I attended my next-to-last MBA class from Nassau while on a SCUBA diving and snorkeling vacation with family and friends.\nI am very happy - I completed my first graduate level program - an MBA in Technology Management. After taking a little time off from school I have decided to pursue a PhD - Doctor of Business in Organizational Leadership. I look forward to this program with a great deal of enthusiasm and plan to share my experiences with you right here.\nWell, the truth is that online education is not the best alternative for everyone. Some individuals perform better in a traditional classroom setting. Based on my personal experiences with the UoP online education program over the past three years and some of the experiences shared by fellow students during that time, I believe that to succeed in an online program you must be both, self-driven and highly motivated. Some may think that participating in online education programs is easier than traditional classroom education in terms of how much homework is required and the complexity of assignments. On the contrary, the online education program I was enrolled in required timely submission of individual assignments like research papers, posting of answers to several discussion questions throughout the week and daily participation in online discussion threads. And that's not all, there is also a lot of team work - you will collaborate online with a team of fellow students to complete weekly assignments. And there are reading assignments too - sometimes hundreds of pages every week from books in printed or electronic form, and scholarly articles from well known sources. There are also computer-based simulations to help you better understand the material discussed in class - most of these were lots of fun.\nHere are some links to help you find information about online college courses and other online education programs from fully accredited Universities. You can also find out information about online certification programs and about online vocational training programs by following these links. I hope these will encourage you to pursue your dreams of higher education.",

Olsen--\"Andy Adams - Cowboy Extraordinaire\"\nMore than 100 years after its publication (1903), Andy Adams' fictionalized memoir, The Log of a Cowboy, is still regarded as the most authentic account of a 19th century cattle drive ever written. Adams, born in 1859, was a resident of Colorado Springs from 1894 to his death in 1935. This presentation will highlight Adams as a renowned writer of the American West and draw a connection to Colorado Springs' continuing \"cowboy and cattle\" heritage.\nMaria Sanchez Tucker--\"Andrew McClelland, A Most Interesting Library Patron\"\nPueblo, Colorado\u2019s first public library was named after prominent Pueblo businessman, Andrew McClelland, who served as President of the Pueblo Board of Trade and was a lifetime Library Board Member. He went on a trip around the world from 1908-1910, sending reports to The Pueblo Chieftain about his travels. He returned with a variety of artifacts, including two Egyptian mummies, one that currently is being preserved at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. His wife, Columbia Jane, was also a philanthropist and funded the McClelland Children\u2019s Orphanage. In 1911, Mr. McClelland was embroiled in controversial politics and scandals that almost resulted in his name being removed from the Library that was named in honor of him. Learn more about this interesting historical figure and one of Southern Colorado's most intriguing philanthropists and businessman.\nKatherine Sturdevant--\"Hidden Hero at the Printing Press: Emma F. Langdon and Miners\u2019 Rights\"\nEmma Florence Langdon (1875-1937) came to Victor, Colorado, with her husband Charles at a historic moment. Charles co-published the Victor Daily Record newspaper. Emma was also a linotype operator. During the 1904 miners\u2019 union strike, when anti-union retaliations fell to violent confrontation, the National Guard imprisoned the paper\u2019s male staff. Emma rose to the occasion, printed the news, and personally distributed the papers. National attention fell on her. Her life reveals much about women as workers and seemingly unlikely heroes. Langdon became the strike\u2019s historian, second only to her friend, \u201cMother Jones,\u201d among noted women working with the controversial miners\u2019 organizations.\nSusan Fletcher--\"The Epic Tale of Lt. James W. Downing\"\nUntil his recent death at the age of 104, American hero Lt. James W. Downing was the second oldest-living Pearl Harbor survivor. Born in 1913, Downing joined the Navy at age 19. On December 7, 1941, he rushed into the chaos to put out fires aboard his sinking ship the USS West Virginia. As the postmaster aboard the ship, he memorized the names of his mortally wounded shipmates so he could write home to their families. After WWII, he led an epic life that included captaining a vessel during the Korean War, surviving radiation fallout from the H-bomb testing in the Bikini Islands, raising a family, and becoming a prominent leader in The Navigators. This presentation will explore Lieutenant Downing\u2019s story and will examine the creation of his heroic historical legacy during his last five years of life. It will also discuss the friendship between a historian and her subject by exploring the experience of documenting Downing\u2019s story while he was still living.\nDavid Rasmussen--\"John 'Prairie Dog' O\u2019Byrne: Showman, Storyteller and Historian\"\nJohn O\u2019Byrne is famous for his team of elk, Thunder and Buttons, and for the prairie dog running on a wheel he kept in the back of his wagon. But there is more to this \u201cremarkable rascal.\u201d For years, he was a sought after tour guide in the Pikes Peak Region. He knew the history of the area from its earliest days, and visitors requested him by name to hear his first-hand accounts. This presentation recounts the best of these from his 1923 publication: Pikes Peak or Bust: and Historical Sketches of the Wild West.\nDeborah Harrison & Bernard A. Schriever II--\"F.L.M. Smith: The Best Colorado Conman You\u2019ve Never Heard Of\"\nWhile many have heard of the infamous Soapy Smith, there was another Smith; an equally successful, though not as famous, conman and truly a remarkable rascal. He went by the name F.L.M. Smith and was involved with gambling, snake oil scams, lewd art galleries, the Louisiana Lottery, dance halls and mining speculation to name a few. He was caught out occasionally, but otherwise lived an anonymous if not honest life. Soapy Smith\u2019s fame led to his death in Skagway while F.L.M. Smith survived his adventures a much wealthier man.\nErinn Barnes--\"Between Two Worlds: Buckskin Charley, Sherman Coolidge and the Struggle for a New American Indian Identity\"\nSubjugated, dispossessed, and reeling from decades of war, the twentieth century presented American Indians with unprecedented pressures threatening to erase their very existence. The lives of two remarkable native leaders briefly intersected with Colorado Springs during this pivotal time of transition. Buckskin Charley, famed Ute Chief and Rev. Sherman Coolidge, Arapahoe and Episcopalian priest, tackled the challenges facing their people with radically different methods. Yet their lives reveal the common heroic efforts of American Indians to resist and redefine an authentic American Indian identity for a new century.\nLeah Davis Witherow--\"A Search for Identity: The Life and Work of Civil Rights Activist Charles Banks\"\nA veteran of the Spanish American War, Charles Banks served proudly in Company B, 24th Infantry, known as the Buffalo Soldiers. After moving to Colorado Springs in 1904, Charles Banks worked tirelessly to promote equality and oppose racial segregation and discrimination. He served as a page in the Colorado State House in the 1930s and used his personal connections with State Senator Edwin Johnson to urge enactment of the 1935 Colorado Civil Rights Amendment. In the 1940s, Banks organized a campaign of peaceful, nonviolent sit-ins at local businesses in violation of Colorado Civil Rights Law. Despite his public activism, Banks remains a bit of an enigma. Genealogical records reveal conflicting evidence regarding his ancestry and so do his personal accounts. Recent research reveals more about the historical puzzle surrounding one of the most influential and interesting citizens in Colorado Springs History.\nMariah Hudson--\"A Real Rat on America\u2019s Mountain \u2013 Rattlesnake James and the Murder of Winona Wallace\"\nIn 1932, using the pseudonym Robert James, Alabama-born charmer Major Lisenba (1894-1942) slithered through the Pikes Peak region with his new bride, Winona Wallace (1903-1932). Lisenba first tried, but failed, to kill the young beauty within the carnage of an orchestrated car accident off America\u2019s Mountain; his next attempt inside their Manitou cottage several weeks later was a success. Lisenba swiftly pocketed a healthy insurance payment for the \u201caccidental\u201d death of his wife and fled the region. It would be another three years however, before Lisenba would truly earn the distinction of his nickname \u201cRattlesnake James\u201d and only after a scandalous wave of horrible crimes.\nDwight Haverkorn--\"The Frank Lewis/Dale Jones Gang \u2013 Killers in Colorado Springs\"\nKnown as one of the most vicious criminal gangs west of the Mississippi, the notorious Frank Lewis/Dale Jones Gang robbed banks and trains, stole copper wire and cars, and engaged in shootouts with police, killing nine law enforcement officers from 1913 through 1918. On Friday the 13th of September in 1918, Colorado Springs Chief of Detectives John William Rowan was killed in a downtown shootout with three of the gangsters, an event that preceded the end of the gang\u2019s brutal reign of terror.\nDoris McCraw--\"Who was Joe Ward? The Tale of the Man at the Center of Colorado Springs\u2019 First Sensational Murder Trial\"\nJohn Anderson--\"Rankin Scott Kelly and Robert Finley, Businessmen, County Officials and Hidden Heroes\"\nScott Kelly and Robert Finley helped tame the American West and established the foundation upon which El Paso County government was built. In 1860, the enterprising young bachelors established the first sawmill, one of the earliest businesses in the Pikes Peak Region. On February 28, 1861, Robert Finley became El Paso County\u2019s first Treasurer, and Scott Kelly its first Sheriff. By the close of 1862, Finley had collected $138.00 in taxes and Kelly had been involved in shootouts with local thieves and rustlers. From having served as El Paso County's 26th Sheriff, John Anderson suggests that it remains to be seen which of the two hidden heroes had the more difficult job.",
      "Trans people deserve to be compensated no matter what city they live in.\nBeing a transgender woman in America is hard. But being a transgender woman in Charlotte, North Carolina, the same state that passed House Bill 2, is even harder. The possibility of hearing a slur as or experiencing the threat of violence is the tape playing in my mind as I navigate an empty parking garage alone, keys in hand.\nLooking and securing employment can be just as difficult. You experience that pit-in-the-stomach anxiety anxiety when you walk into an interviewer\u2019s office knowing you have to explain your gender transition. Perfect makeup or a good suit is no guarantee that you will be treated equally. Someone asking about your gender transition is none of their business.\nWith these challenges in mind, I was inspired by the #TransAtWork campaign that was started by the Trans Employment Program at the Center. The Program, in its 10th year, is the first one in the nation. While this campaign is not officially associated with the center, it falls within the same context. Transgender people are talented and hardworking people and deserve to be compensated no matter what city they live in.",
      "Malaysia's diverse cultural history has led to an open-minded approach to tourism, with a melting pot of Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures together with the indigenous tribes. This diversity means that when you visit Malaysia you're treated to varied architecture, culture and of course delicious cuisines. From the skyscrapers and modernity of Kuala Lumpur to the dense rainforests of both Borneo and the mainland, a Malaysia holiday encapsulates South-East Asia in its entirety.\nSynonymous with the mystery of the Far East, Malaysia still conjures visions of rubber trees, sultans, jungles, pirates, head-hunters and exotic beaches but while the pirates and head-hunters have largely retired, the rest remains. Malaysia's endless glorious beaches tend to be the initial lure and there are some truly sensational resorts that will pamper you and cater to your every need. Explore further and you find colonial hill stations, dense primary rainforest, tea plantations and some fascinating wildlife, including the endearing orang-utan. In addition there are the UNESCO sites of George Town and Malacca where four centuries of European influence have left churches, forts, houses and grandiose administrative buildings.\nDon\u2019t forget that part of Borneo belongs to Malaysia.\nWalk trails in the dense rainforest of Taman Negara Park.\nSpend a few days in the colonial atmosphere of the Cameron Highlands with its waterfalls, tea plantations and local tribes.\nSpend time with Asia's only great ape, the iconic orang-utan.\nThere are glorious beach resorts on all the coasts and some excellent diving.\nIf you are prepared to rough it, speak to Clare, one of our Travel Experts, about getting off the beaten path and stay with headhunters in a longhouse. Not the usual tourist experience but very much authentic and uncontrived.\nA private yacht charter to cruise through the pristine islands of Sipidan with world-class diving and turtle nesting.\nMalaysia has 36% of the world\u2019s marine fish.\nThere are 60 types of mangrove in the world, Malaysia has 48 and Langkawi has 45 (Brazil only has 9).\nThere are over 795 species of birds in Malaysia with 10 types of hornbills.\nThere are 9 species of wildcats.\nMalaysia is the butterfly capital of the world with over 1684 species in Malaysia (the UK has 65).\nMalaysia has the Big 5 plus one as it has two types of elephant.\nClare and Amy have a wealth of travel experience and a particular passion for South East Asia. Both have recently returned from a trip to Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo which has only served to enhance their love for this part of the world.\nIf spending some time with orangutans is your prime objective on your holiday to Malaysia then we definitely have the right expertise, not least because of our very close relationship with the Orangutan Foundation.\nIs Malaysia safe to travel around?\nMalaysia is safe to travel around easily without any problems concerning safety. However, like any tourist destination smaller crimes such as pick-pocketing do occur. Keep a close eye on belongings when out in larger crowds and leave any valuables at home.\nWhat should I see when visiting the country?\nFor those who enjoy the buzz of city life then the capital city Kuala Lumpur is an exotic and exciting scene where modern skyscrapers and colonial architecture live side by side along with its multi-cultural residents. If you are wanting to escape the hubbub and stress of daily life then the island of Langkawi, with its pristine beaches and turquoise waters, is the perfect place to unwind.\nIs the street food safe to eat?\nThe food is one of the highlights of any trip in South East Asia. On the whole the food is generally safe, although we always advise eating at busy stalls which are popular with the locals. This way you know the food is not only safe, but the best. You also get to rub shoulders with the local people this way.\nWhat are the rules on dress code?\nWith Islam being the most popular religion in Malaysia, the dress code should be respected especially when visiting religious sites. Women must cover up bare shoulders, legs and avoid tight fitting clothing, especially when in less touristy areas.\nSteppes Travel is delighted to be taking new bookings for the lovingly renovated Datai.

      "Domain-Driven Design: DDD is a process that aligns your code with the reality of your problem domain. As your product evolves, adding new features becomes as easy as it was in the good old days of greenfield development. Although DDD understands the need for software patterns, principles, methodologies, and frameworks, it values developers and domain experts working together to understand domain concepts, policies, and logic equally. With a greater knowledge of the problem domain and a synergy with the business, developers are more likely to build software that is more readable and easier to adapt for future enhancement.\nFWIW, I\u2019m going to quickly add that the same author (Vaughn Vernon) went on to write an even more awesome book called. More details\u2014even more than you might care for!\u2014on exactly that can be found in an essay elsewhere: Best Reactive Programming Books.\nAnd to which I can only reply\u2014at this time anyway\u2014with the admonishment to please, Hold your horses! Everything comes in its own good time, and for especially those who wait!\nIf you don\u2019t think you are getting value from your investment in object-oriented programming, this book will tell you what you\u2019ve forgotten to do.\nThis book belongs on the shelf of every thoughtful software developer.\nI love this book, tastefully crimson-braided, standing upright, bolstered at the back by the same book (Planning Algorithms from the Cambridge University Press) that we ran into earlier, of course: Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design by Scott Millett and Nick Tune is in a league of its own when it comes to imparting the wisdom in the DDD territory.\nChapter 21: Repositories \u2014 Repositories mediate between the domain model and the underlying data model. They ensure that the domain model is kept separate from any infrastructure concerns.\nChapter 24: CQRS: An Architecture of a Bounded Context \u2014 CQRS is a design pattern that creates two models where there once was one. Instead of a single model to handle the two different contexts of reads and writes, two explicit models are created to handle commands or serve queries for reports.\nWhat Can Leonardo da Vinci do for Me?\nSo the lesson to draw here is: As software practitioners, not only should we tend to mercilessly refactoring our code, we should pay at least as much attention\u2014if not more\u2014to refactoring our software design.\nThe goal of domain-driven design is to create better software by focusing on a model of the domain rather than the technology. By the time a developer has constructed an SQL query, passed it to a query service in the infrastructure layer, obtained a result set of table rows, pulled the necessary information out, and passed it to a constructor or FACTORY, the model focus is gone. It becomes natural to think of the objects as containers for the data that the queries provide, and the whole design shifts toward a data-processing style. The details of the technology vary, but the problem remains that the client is dealing with technology, rather than model concepts.\n\u2014Reader: Wait a sec! Are we talking seagulls or eagles or what? Can we at least get that right please?\nQuestion: What do you call a Neanderthal who is prone to meandering?\nAnswer: A Meanderthal, but of course!\n\u2026is a simple pattern that you can apply to a bounded context. It separates the domain model into two models: a read model and a write model (sometimes called a transactional model).\nThe reason for the separation is to enable a model to serve the needs of a single context without compromise. The two contexts in question are reporting on the state of the domain and performing business tasks, also known as the read and write sides. Using a single model for bounded contexts that have complex presentation needs and rich domain logic often results in that model becoming overly complex and devoid of integrity, generating confusion for domain experts and a maintenance nightmare for developers. By applying the CQRS pattern, a model is split in two, enabling each model to be optimized to serve each context more effectively.\nIn the remote case that anyone is awake and\u2014even more remotely still\u2014they wish to look up my write-up on Blockchain, I can gleefully point you in the direction: Blockchain Adventures!\nAfter all has been said and done\u2014here we tacitly acknowledge that a whole lot more has been said than done\u2014we\u2019ve reached the horizon of our journey: We are standing in front of a bridge in the countryside, a bridge that beckons us to venture outside our comfort zone.
