The Treasurer in 2006, Laura Brooks, and 2007, Zuhra Sadri, explain that the AUES runs many cheap and free events like BBQs and social nights that cost approximately $10,000 per year to organize. However, the annual pubcrawl t-shirt sales, which sell for $20-25 each while costing $8.50-10 to produce, help recoup this cost by selling around 1000 shirts. This allows the AUES to continue providing affordable social events for its members.

1) Mialeeka Williams grew up in a gang-ridden area of Compton, California in the 1980s but overcame this difficult background to become a patent lawyer and volunteer at a YMCA in Metuchen, New Jersey.
2) She was encouraged by her mother to pursue education instead of the streets, graduating at the top of her high school class and earning degrees from Howard University and George Washington University Law School.
3) Williams now works to provide legal assistance to those who cannot afford it, hoping to give back to her community and serve as an inspiration for others facing challenges.
This document summarizes research conducted by Chevron to evaluate detergents for cleaning oil refinery equipment. Several criteria were tested, including cleaning ability, foam production, emulsion formation, impact on oil and grease levels, and toxicity to microbes in wastewater treatment. A variety of commercial detergents were tested. The results showed significant differences between detergents in cleaning effectiveness and environmental impact. The best detergents for refinery use were found to be terpene-based cleaners that demonstrated high cleaning ability with low foam, emulsion, oil/grease levels, and toxicity. The study provides a framework for refineries to evaluate detergents based on key criteria.
Mialeeka Williams is an experienced attorney with over 13 years of experience guiding companies through complex intellectual property transactions. She has served as lead counsel for major companies like The Coca-Cola Company and Rhodia Inc., providing legal advice and managing intellectual property portfolios.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

“One of my cousins was murdered when she was 25, so I honestly
never believed I would live past that age,” she said.
She did. Now 28, Williams, a Staten Island, N.Y., resident, can be
found at the front desk of the Metuchen YMCA every Wednesday
night where she volunteers. She works as a patent lawyer for a New
Online Obituary Jersey firm and is a single mother of a 5-year-old girl.

Featured Special Life was not always so easy. She learned to count while making
Section change for her father’s drug deals. She grew up in Compton, Calif., a
town rife with gangs.
“Compton in the ’80s was like a war zone,” she said.
Even a simple thing, like going to an open concert, was out.

“In addition to working as a patent attorney, I started a small firm on the side and converted it to a nonprofit,” she
said. “I charge a nominal fee to help people who have been given bad legal advice on intellectual property law. I
would love to run my own company one day, and so I may have to go back to get an MBA.”
And she has advice for parents and for those who are now growing up in a similar environment.
“Growing up, I had an issue with self-esteem, and I used to always doubt myself because I thought my father chose
drugs over me,” she said. “But I think people should know that their parents’ choices often have nothing to do with
them and that anyone in a similar situation should know that they are worthy people, and that they are beautiful
people.”
She graduated from Howard University as a chemical engineer and from George Washington University law school.
But the streets of Compton will always be with her.
“Just like anyone who has been through trauma, it is still always in the back of my mind,” she said.
And sometimes there are sad reminders of the life she escaped.
“For example, at one point I found out that my first boyfriend had been murdered,” Williams said. “Some of my
former friends have since been killed. Of the ones that are successful, they had strong parents and teachers.”
Being a single mother is not easy, but Williams is grateful for the help she has received from others.
“I’m happy I did not lead a sheltered life in the sense that my daughter will never be able to pull a fast one on me,”
she joked.
She considers herself an honorary Metuchen resident and enjoys her volunteer work at the Y.
“I live in Staten Island,” she said. “I was originally trying to find a house here, but did not have enough time to settle
on one. If I were to move down to New Jersey, it would either be to the Shore because I love the water or to Metuchen
because it is almost storybook, like a Norman Rockwell painting.”
