Data Driven Alumni Communications: The Method to the MadnessConverge Consulting
Colleges are better at managing relationships with Champions than they are with Acquaintances. The study identified three segments of alumni - Champions, Friends, and Acquaintances - based on their attitudes and motivations toward giving. Champions are the most important segment for colleges to target as they donate the most frequently and make the largest donations. While colleges have had some success with Champions, they ineffectively manage the large Acquaintances segment and waste resources contacting them as much as the other segments. Effective alumni communications require research-based segmentation, personalized messaging tailored to each segment's motivations, and continuous testing and evaluation of communication strategies.

Configuration management is the process of standardizing and enforcing resource configurations across IT infrastructure in an automated way. An example is setting a policy that the SNMP service must be installed and running. This can be defined using YAML and specifying that the net-snmp package must be installed and the SNMP daemon service must be enabled and running. Jinja templating allows variables like the location and contact details to be set using pillar data and different configurations to be set based on the operating system grains. States can then be applied to nodes using Salt functions to configure systems according to the defined policies and pillars in an automated and consistent manner.
Salt domes form when layers of salt buried deep underground take on a lower density than the surrounding rock. This allows the salt to flow slowly upwards, piercing through overlying rock layers and forming columns or dome-shaped structures. Salt domes are an important source of oil and gas reservoirs, as the upward movement of salt can trap hydrocarbons and cause folding and faulting of reservoir rocks. They also provide salt for industrial use and serve as underground storage sites. The first major salt dome oil discovery at Spindletop Hill in Texas launched the modern oil industry.

This document discusses the preparation and classification of salts. Salts are formed through the replacement of hydrogen ions in acids by metal ions or ammonium ions. There are two main methods for preparing salts - neutralization and precipitation. Neutralization involves reacting an acid with a metal, alkali, oxide or carbonate to form a soluble salt. Precipitation involves mixing two aqueous solutions of soluble salts to form an insoluble salt precipitate. The document provides examples of preparing various salts such as potassium chloride and lead chloride. It also discusses classifying salts as soluble or insoluble and purifying soluble salts through recrystallization.
DevoxxFR 2015 Talk http://cfp.devoxx.fr/2015/talk/WXY-1157/Scaling_Docker_with_Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source project to manage a cluster of Linux containers as a single system, managing and running Docker containers across multiple Docker hosts, offering co-location of containers, service discovery and replication control. It was started by Google and now it is supported by Microsoft, RedHat, IBM and Docker Inc amongst others.
Once you are using Docker containers the next question is how to scale and start containers across multiple Docker hosts, balancing the containers across them. Kubernetes also adds a higher level API to define how containers are logically grouped, allowing to define pools of containers, load balancing and affinity.
WSO2Con US 2015 Kubernetes: a platform for automating deployment, scaling, an...Brian Grant
Kubernetes can run application containers on clusters of physical or virtual machines.
It can also do much more than that.
Kubernetes satisfies a number of common needs of applications running in production, such as co-locating helper processes, mounting storage systems, distributing secrets, application health checking, replicating application instances, horizontal auto-scaling, load balancing, rolling updates, and resource monitoring.
However, even though Kubernetes provides a lot of functionality, there are always new scenarios that would benefit from new features. Ad hoc orchestration that is acceptable initially often requires robust automation at scale. Application-specific workflows can be streamlined to accelerate developer velocity.
This is why Kubernetes was also designed to serve as a platform for building an ecosystem of components and tools to make it easier to deploy, scale, and manage applications. The Kubernetes control plane is built upon the same APIs that are available to developers and users, implementing resilient control loops that continuously drive the current state towards the desired state. This design has enabled Apache Stratos and a number of other Platform as a Service and Continuous Integration and Deployment systems to build atop Kubernetes.
This presentation introduces Kubernetes’s core primitives, shows how some of its better known features are built on them, and introduces some of the new capabilities that are being added.
Kubernetes Architecture and Introduction – Paris Kubernetes MeetupStefan Schimanski
The document provides an overview of Kubernetes architecture and introduces how to deploy Kubernetes clusters on different platforms like Mesosphere's DCOS, Google Container Engine, and Mesos/Docker. It discusses the core components of Kubernetes including the API server, scheduler, controller manager and kubelet. It also demonstrates how to interact with Kubernetes using kubectl and view cluster state.
Sulphuric acid is used in many industrial processes and for producing fertilizers. It is manufactured through the contact process, which involves burning sulphur to produce sulphur dioxide, converting the sulphur dioxide to sulphur trioxide using a catalyst, and reacting the sulphur trioxide with water to form sulphuric acid. Sulphur dioxide released into the air can cause acid rain when it reacts with water in the atmosphere, which damages the environment by lowering the pH of soils, lakes and rivers. Methods to reduce acid rain include reacting sulphur dioxide with calcium compounds before it is released into the air.
Traditional virtualization technologies have been used by cloud infrastructure providers for many years in providing isolated environments for hosting applications. These technologies make use of full-blown operating system images for creating virtual machines (VMs). According to this architecture, each VM needs its own guest operating system to run application processes. More recently, with the introduction of the Docker project, the Linux Container (LXC) virtualization technology became popular and attracted the attention. Unlike VMs, containers do not need a dedicated guest operating system for providing OS-level isolation, rather they can provide the same level of isolation on top of a single operating system instance.
An enterprise application may need to run a server cluster to handle high request volumes. Running an entire server cluster on Docker containers, on a single Docker host could introduce the risk of single point of failure. Google started a project called Kubernetes to solve this problem. Kubernetes provides a cluster of Docker hosts for managing Docker containers in a clustered environment. It provides an API on top of Docker API for managing docker containers on multiple Docker hosts with many more features.

High School Career Development ProgramsErica Swallow
During my final quarter at the MIT Sloan School of Management, I conducted an independent study about social entrepreneurship in the education sector, primarily focused on current players and existing opportunities in the space. I collaborated with education non-profit Noble Impact to determine how the high school education system might be transformed by greater involvement from communities and businesses.
My research entailed three stages: Internet research, phone and in-person interviews with key players at non-profits and businesses, and creation of a final report, which you’ll find attached to this email.
My research was focused on four questions:
- How are high school students currently engaged in career development?
- Which businesses are most engaged in K-12 education? How and why?
- What scalable opportunities exist to solve the skills gap between the classroom and workforce?
- What should I do after MIT Sloan to have the greatest impact in education?
The final report covers my key findings for the first two questions – insights were pulled from interviews with recruiters, students, non-profit leaders, and corporate giving professionals. The report also covers potential opportunities that Noble Impact or other organizations could implement to improve career-oriented programming offered to high school students. Lastly, the report gives a very brief insight into where my head’s at for post-Sloan plans.
INSPIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT
I was inspired to conduct this project for two key reasons: Education has been a life-changer for me, and Noble Impact’s work inspired me to think harder about how I could contribute to improving education in America.
As a first-generation college (and graduate) student, I’ve observed and relished in the difference furthering my education has made in my life, as compared with the trajectories of my siblings, cousins, and elders. Education not only pulled me out of poverty, but it also opened my mind to the many ways in which I could l contribute to the world.
Last year, I was invited to judge Noble Impact’s Arkansas High School Startup Weekend, and I was amazed by what the students were capable of producing: Full product prototypes, pitch presentations, and compelling arguments for why their business ideas were important. At the time, I didn’t consider how I might contribute to their experience beyond my duty as a judge, but as my second year of Sloan began to wrap up, I reflected upon my two years in business school and realized that my time in Little Rock with those motivated, talented students was the most inspiring time of my MBA. After starting a dialogue with Noble Impact CEO Eric Wilson, I decided I couldn’t end my semester without a deep dive into the education world. And thus, this project was born.
