Book excerpt: The most talented Creative Directors in Silicon Valley met in a conference room next to my office to create the first advertisements for Adobe Illustrators version for Windows known as Illustrator 7.0. The slogan we picked after a night of North Beach pizza with Molson's beer was "I Do Windows." The Creative Directors began to call their collaboration KR8V (Creative). Before Illustrator 7.0, Adobe software was Mac based for Apple computers. Our team was going to change all that. Not only with online banner ads, standup cutouts made of thick cardboard, but a rebate ad. Online banners in 1997 were selling for $1200 to $1800 per ad to create with Adobe Photoshop. The rebate program would be Adobe System's first. This project opened up the doors to other Adobe Departments. KR8V Creative Directors were asked to design the first websites, Internet advertisement as well as print ads for PageMaker, PageMill, and soon eSchwab. Winners of the rebate campaign won a trip to Paris, France, because the promotion went beyond the high tech technology of San Francisco Bay Area connected to Adobe's headquarters in San Jose, California. The advertising campaign was going to be worldwide. By the end of the week, we were receiving orders from Charles Schwab International Electronic Brokerage. The calls came from eSchwab to make tutorial CDs that would be mailed out to investors so as to teach the investors to barter online instead of with a broker. The languages evolved from English only to Mandarin Chinese and Spanish for the Latin American investors. Seventy percent of the staff was let go in some brokerage firms. Brokers didn't have to engage in conversations with clients if the investors were invited online. Investing over the Internet was the web portal to the future. The portal was nicknamed vertical, because of the emphasis on financial news, monetary policy, and stock market events. By being a gateway to money, the firm focused with a digital precision. Soon Memphis hospitals were coming to us to create a portal called Phyve, Digital Medical Systems, and Baptist Medical. The programmers brought account executives from Nashville, Tennessee. The buildings involved with the industry's recording of country music on a space called Music Row wanted us to create radio stations across the Internet. COR Medical researched a portal in Santa Barbara, California. The world leader in atomic force microscopes made me their first Webmaster to create a public portal to the Nanotechnology as well as an Internal Portal that was only made available to employees with a log in number and password. The servers were advancing quickly. After buying servers from Dell Computers, we had the top technician from Dell's Headquarters in Texas stay with us for one week so that we could learn about the advancements made on the web server technology by Dell. The concentration on servers was the way of the future for companies relying on computer technology.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2022 Reading the West Debut Fiction Award Finalist for the 2022 Colorado Book Award for Literary Fiction Longlisted for the 2022 PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Short Story Collection Set in the western sagebrush steppe, Site Fidelity is a vivid, intimate, and deeply human exploration of life on the shifting terrain of our changing planet. Firmly rooted in the modern American West, Site Fidelity follows women and families who feel the instinctual, inexplicable pull of a home they must work to protect from the effects of economic inequity and climate catastrophe. A seventy-four-year-old nun turns to eco-sabotage to stop a fracking project. A woman delivers her own baby in a Nevada ghost town. A young farmer hides her chicken flock from the government during a bird flu epidemic. An ornithologist returns home to care for her rancher father and gets caught up trying to protect a breeding group of endangered Gunnison sage grouse. In lean, lyrical prose, Claire Boyles evokes the bleakness and beauty of our threatened western landscapes. Spanning the decades from the 1970s to a plausible near future, this knockout debut introduces unforgettable characters who must confront the challenges of caregiving and loss alongside the very practical impacts of fracking, water rights law, and other agricultural policies. Site Fidelity is a vivid, intimate, and deeply human exploration of life on the shifting terrain of our changing planet.

Download or read book R D O Leary 1866 1936 written by Margaret R. O’Leary and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the span of forty years, Professor Raphael Dorman OLeary labored tirelessly to make his students understand the importance of originality and of apt expression in English composition. He especially loved words well chosen and dared his students to put beauty and smoothness and sinew into their sentences. He tried passionately to make them feel the dignity and the majesty of the English language at its best. When he died after a short illness in 1936, his personal effects passed among descendants until finally coming to rest with Dennis OLeary and his spouse, Margaret, who discovered them in a poor condition while restoring a family house. Amid Professor OLearys papers was his handwritten journal from the year 1914 to 1915. The journal displays the full measure of R. D. OLeary in his myriad academic, social, political, and religious experiences at the University of Kansas atop Mount Oread; in the adjacent city of Lawrence, Kansas; and while traveling to rural Kansas during the summer months and to Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the dead of winter. Throughout his journal, Professor OLeary portrays with humor and pathos his encounters with students, colleagues, his spouse, his three sons, his mother, shopkeepers, religious zealots, pro-German zealots, anti-German zealots, drayers, Pullman conductors, bankers, politicians, publishers, educated spinsters, and garden wasps, while vividly describing cold classrooms, interminable whist parties, trilling sopranos, Kansas football games, and Lawrence seed stores. R. D. OLeary (18661936): Notes from Mount Oread 19141915 is a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of a revered English professor, half way through his forty years of teaching at the University of Kansas.

Book excerpt: Terrorists are attacking airliners using an unknown weapon that one surviving passenger described as a "missile with wings." Deaths and injuries are in the hundreds. Rumors of extraterrestrial visitors have the public in a panic. People are afraid to set foot on an airliner. Experts wonder if TWA 800 might have been the first of the attacks. The airline business is in danger of folding unless the terrorists are caught. An ex air traffic controller turned lawyer, Kyle Matthews, a man the FAA once wanted to fire, is asked to investigate. But when Air Force One is attacked, and pieces of the weapon are found in the cockpit, Matthews realizes that no terrorist group would have the resources to fund such a weapon. He shifts the focus of his investigation to one of several government agency heads, and narrows his suspects down to one particular official who he feels is stonewalling him. Matthews sets a trap to force his suspect to confess. After boarding the flight, the suspect is led to believe that the flight is about to be shot down. The suspect confesses, but the flight is attacked anyway.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second story in a non-partisan series detailing how the elite have impoverished America's Middle Class. In this timely and revealing book the author explains what has happened in simple, easy to understand terms, that are brief and to-the-point. The crippling and devastating consequences to liberty have not gone unnoticed. The author bears witness to history and the treacherous crimes which have overthrown the Republic. Referred to as the history of the Deep State. The Illusion of Democracy is a more accurate historical accounting of the United States since the coup of 1963, when President Kennedy was executed in Dealey Plaza by the Operation 40 assassination squad. This sequel focuses on the big picture. It explains Hegelian Dialectic Principles of how our puppet masters create conflict to increase their wealth and power.

This book was written at a high school level with those students in mind. It is perfect for high school classes, college courses, or the average reader at home who is curious about what went wrong over the past generation which killed the American Dream.

Download or read book Small Town Heroes written by Hank Davis and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993 successful psychologist and journalist Hank Davis undertook an epic journey exploring the atmosphere and culture of both minor league baseball and the small towns that embrace it. Davis shows us the warmth, quirkiness, and desperate energy of minor league ball, from encounters with future stars to those who would never make it to the ?show?; from the kids selling Cracker Jacks outside the park to the aging coaches who persevere out of sheer love for the game. As Davis says, ?the minor leagues are full of stories,? and he tells some of the best of them here. A new afterword by the author dis-cusses where the minor league players are now.
