Keeping your company's systems up-to-date is important, but can be especially hard when there's inherited \"Frankenstein\" and legacy code. Brandon Pearman, Principal Software Engineer at Wonga, and his team had to overhaul their system to new tech, which had built up a lot of this \"Frankenstein\" code. It's been a long process, and a huge undertaking, but they've learned some valuable lessons about moving a system over to entirely new tech.

The West Virginia Community Partnership Model (WVCPM) fosters partnerships among academic faculty, students, extension faculty (and staff), and community organizations to produce significant community-based student learning; increased university involvement in community service across the state; and cultural change that improves collaboration between the academic and extension faculties for the mutual benefit of all parties. This article describes benefits and lessons learned through the early stage operation of the model. It analyzes these benefits and lessons learned in terms of three apparent characteristics of effective partnerships: (1) goal alignment among partners; (2) adequate time to establish partnerships; and (3) willingness to "give something up" (e.g., adopt only promising ideas) when necessary.

This paper refers to the transition period which is organized by the Belgian Defence in order to allow returning troops who have been deployed in difficult, dangerous and potentially traumatic operation theatres to collectively decompress at the end of their mission. The so called Third Location Decompression (TLD) renamed in Belgium as Adaptation Period - has been developed by several NATO countries and can be viewed as an important preventive tool for post operational stress management and adjustment for returning soldiers and their significant others. TLD programs aim to combine post mission debriefing, psychosocial adjustment, mental and physical relaxation, sense giving and mental health psycho-education in a location that is safe and comfortable. There remain several discussion points about the inclusion criteria i.e. who needs TLD - and whether or not civilian facilities should be used. Except some studies on the perceived utility, up to now there is little empirical evidence about the benefits of TLD on post mission health issues and its usefulness regarding trauma screening and prevention. This presentation will focus on the key features of various TLD programs with troops that have been deployed in different theatres in Afghanistan. The ingredients of the Belgian TLD program, the SAS, will be discussed in the light of the perceived benefits obtained in other NATO countries.

While the lure of easy system construction from pre-existing building blocks that snap into place is appealing, current reality reveals a less than ideal picture, particularly for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components. Examining the similarities and differences of organizations that have applied COTS and the successes and failures of those organizations has enabled the COTS-Based Systems (CBS) Initiative at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to identify a number of significant capabilities that an organization must have to succeed with a COTS-based approach. This case study of the Manufacturing Resource Planning II program is part of a series of case studies that seek to identify important acquisition, business, and engineering issues surrounding the use of COTS-based systems and thus derive available solutions, where possible.

California Republican Rep. Darrell E. Issa told One America News that he learned from investigating the administration of President Barak Obama that they have no interest in cooperation. Issa described his shock that then-Attorney General Eric Holder preferred to be held in contempt of Congress, rather than turn over 250 documents relating to the Fast and Furious scandal.

The goal of this thesis is to explain Cuba’s ability to maintain its autonomy against a large state actor, in this case, the United States. Since the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the United States has pursued the goal of regime change in Cuba, replacing the country’s socialist system with a liberal democratic and capitalist model. U.S. policy has consistently applied economic and political isolation to pressure Cuba to change from autocracy to democracy. Nonetheless, Cuba has successfully defended the regime’s interests and remains a sovereign state recognized by the international community. This thesis argues Cuba has resisted U.S. pressures by using a total defense approach that spans across three areas: civilian support for the regime, a professional military, and international engagement. It is important to note that although the United States continues to pressure Cuba to change its system, the two countries have cooperated in the past when the United States liberalized its foreign policies. As a result, this thesis suggests the goal of isolating Cuba may be less successful than economic and diplomatic engagement, a lesson that could be applied to other non-democratic countries.

1Hoof and Claw

By Sir Charles G. D. Roberts

These 14 short stories about animals are superb examples of Roberts smooth storytelling style. Knows as the Father of Canadian Poetry, he loved to also write in prose about the wilderness and the personalities of the animals to be found there as well as the exciting things they are capable of. Bears, White Wolves, Lynx, hawks and yes, cattle are just a few of the animals written about. (Summary by phil chenevert)

Exacerbated by several high-profile Hollywood scandals, a wave of anti-Hollywood rhetoric tried to paint the movie capital as a veritable hotbed of crime, licentiousness, and moral transgression. THE SINS OF HOLLYWOOD, published in May 1922, is perhaps the most prominent anti-Hollywood polemic published during this turbulent time in film history. This anonymously-written booklet recounts in sensational, lurid detail the various high-profile scandals that precipitated the firestorm surrounding Hollywood's supposed moral turpitude. The author (later identified as former PHOTOPLAY editor Ed Roberts) pulls no punches in his condemnation of "movie vice." He even takes aim at some of Hollywood's biggest stars, directors, and producers: Rudolph Valentino, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Wallace Reid, Thomas Ince, Mabel Normand, Mae Busch, and more. Although real names are only sparingly used, most subjects are easily identified.<br /><br /> In a nutshell, the author takes us on a guided tour through the seedy, disreputable, thoroughly indecent underworld that lurks beneath Hollywood's glistening, glamorous facade. It is a sensational work of moral alarmism that gives us a wild, untamed, unapologetically lurid account of Hollywood's dark side. <br /><br /> NOTE: This book is an entertaining, propulsively readable book regardless of one's prior knowledge of early Hollywood history. However, some listeners may want to know the identities of these scandalized stars. Their identities can be found in the annotations provided by TAYLOROLOGY: http://www.taylorology.com/issues/Taylor30.txt (Summary by ChuckW)

After an introduction to the Ole Jerry McAuley Mission in the year 1912, many wonderful stories of destitute alcoholics and addicts making a quick recovery through a surrender to Christ Jesus. The book gives glimpses that the years of the highly esteemed Samuel H. Hadley have allowed for the “Evangelical Podium” to firmly take root in the Mission and is corroding the original purpose (the original purpose of this mission was to provide a place for chronic alcoholics and addicts who had spiritual experiences during incarceration to continue it outside of prison and not end up back at their old haunts after being repeatedly rejected by churches and society). The book tells of the on-goings in the new Ole Jerry McAuley Mission at 316 Water Street, NYC, during the early 1900's. Many things seem to have changed since the 1870's when Jerry McAuley ran the mission. First, anyone was welcome. Second, the years of sobriety touted in this book were two to five, as opposed to the decades and quarter centuries in its earlier times. Thirdly, advertising their mission, or testifying for the mission was the goal as opposed to living a spiritually guided life. This book tells of many great successes but it wasn't achieving the same high success rate. (Summary by Curt Walton)

4Jim The Story Of A Backwoods Police Dog (And Other Stories)

By Sir Charles G. D. Roberts

Deputy Sheriff Tug Blackstock wanted a dog to help with his work. As for Jim, at first glance he might almost have been taken for a slim, young black bear rather than a dog. They were a pair, indeed, to strike the most stolid imagination, let alone the sensitive, brooding, watchful imagination of the backwoods. Plus three other stories. - Summary by Story text and David Wales

6Earth's Enigmas

By Sir Charles G. D. Roberts

Most of the stories in this collection attempt to present one or another of those problems of life or nature to which, as it appears to many of us, there is no adequate solution within sight. Others are the almost literal transcript of dreams which seemed to me to have a coherency, completeness, and symbolic significance sufficiently marked to justify me in setting them down. The rest are scenes from that simple life of Canadian backwoods and tide-country with which my earlier years made me familiar. - Summary by CHARLES G D ROBERTS

10Mormon Battalion, Its History and Achievements

By B. H. Roberts

A history of the Longest March of Military in History. The Mormon Battalion was the only religious unit in United States military history in federal service, recruited solely from one religious body and having a religious title as the unit designation. In 1847, as the Mormons were in Iowa heading West, after being driven out of their homes in Nauvoo, Illinois, the U.S. Army requested 500 volunteers to assist in the Mexican-American War effort. From July 1847 to July 1848 the battalion made a grueling march of nearly 2,100 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to San Diego, California. The Battalion’s march and service supported the eventual cession of much of the American Southwest from Mexico to the United States, especially the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 of southern Arizona and New Mexico. <br><br> This is their story.<br><br> - Summary by Wayne Cooke<br>
