The summary discusses the process of developing a mobile app called 1000 Books Before Kindergarten from concept to launch over two years. It involved planning, patience, persistence, and partnerships between the Waukesha County Federated Library System, UW-Milwaukee's App Brewery student lab, and various stakeholders. There were many challenges along the way, including restarting the project, prioritizing features, and dealing with developer licenses. With collaboration, the app was successfully launched in the app stores in 2015.
Your users will have no choice but to say your app goodbye if it is taking more than a few seconds in loading. The app load-time is the first impression, and it encourages users to keep or discard a particular app.

The inhibition effect of hydralazine hydrochloride on corrosion of mild steel...Premier Publishers
The inhibition effect of the Hydralazine hydrochloride for mild steel corrosion in 1M HCl has been investigated. Polarization measurement indicates that the Hydralazine hydrochloride act as mixed-type inhibitor, which gives a maximum inhibition efficiency around 72 %. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the mechanism of corrosion inhibition gives around 76 % due to the formation of electrical double layer. Thermodynamic parameter such as ΔG0 ads value was obtained as -30.22 KJ/mol indications that inhibitor shows its inhibition effect due to the chemisorptions process. Scanning electron microscopic images gives a visual idea about the formation of the protective film on the mild steel surface to reduce the corrosion rate. So that the Hydralazine hydrochloride acts as an efficient mixed type corrosion inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in acid media.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?

Partnerships
4. It all began when…
While preparing to launch
the 1000 Books before
Kindergarten program,
we had an idea
May 2013
5. Explore options to attract mobile savvy
audience
Google Drive
Pro: Free
Con: People have to have a google account and if they don’t, it’s a
hassle. Not customizable. Does it live on each library’s web site?
Web site
Pro: customized to our needs
Con: Cost to secure web site, develop tool and maintenance
Mobile app
Pro: customizable, it’s in our user’s pocket or bag
Con: Cost to develop and maintain it

6. Exploring Options
PubYac Listserv Inquiry. No one knew of a 1000 books app
in development but were very interested in the concept
Contacted a web designer
turned app developer for a
ballpark figure…
$8,500-10,000

7. But then…
A Journal Sentinel news post shows up
on Facebook about the App Brewery.

8. Ask and you shall receive!
Contacted SOIS via a Facebook message and the
inquiry was passed on & we were connected
Discussed the project via phone briefly and
determined it would be a WIN-WIN-WIN
Students get real-world experience
Libraries get an app for their patrons
SOIS sponsors the App Brewery & they turn out a
library app
July 2013
9. Brainstorming
Who was involved? WCFLS staff members, the project
manager at the App Brewery and a few students
Statement of work discussed:
iOS/Android
COPPA compliance (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)
parent-child relationship in database
where do we pull the books in from?
where does this data live?
who is paying for what?
timeline
August 2013
10. Two Steps Forward
First mock up design for feedback
Intellectual freedom. Who owns the app?
App developer license. Which entity obtains the
developer’s license – Waukesha County? Waukesha County
Federated Library System? The App Brewery?
http://andrewmcconville.com/1000-books-kindergarten/November 2013
Planning
11. One Step Back
Library System contacts County IT to discuss developer’s
license and ownership and in turn we are asked to fill out
a Software Development Life Cycle document which
included writing a business case
January-April 2014
Patience
12. Invite More People to the Table
Set up meeting between County IT, App Brewery and
Library System Staff

& Google Developer License Agreements
Lots of verification of identity with Apple and finally
released the developer license. Google Play is less
stringent and released it immediately after we paid the
fee
August 2014
Patience
14. Back in the Saddle
Focus group got together about once per month and
included available member librarians, system staff and
App Brewery team
October - December 2014
Persistence
15. Testing Phase
Testers for the app – both Android and Apple.
Several versions were released as feedback
was received and implemented
January – April 2015
Patience
16. Push to the App Stores
App Brewery submits the app to Apple Store and wait for
them to give it the OK. Something needs adjusting and the
App Brewery fixes it and submits it again…and we wait
Patience
April 2015
17. It’s LIVE!
App Brewery pushes the app out to the Google Play store
and it goes live within a day
The Apple store releases the app and marks it ‘Ready for
Sale.’ App Brewery pushes it into the market

Prioritizing ideas
Unexpected Benefits
Something so small can generate so much publicity and
inquiry
Students learned that the client is right & they have
multiple tiers to work through
Used the app personally
22. What made it all work?
Planning
Patience
Persistence
Partnerships
23. Interested in partnering?
Waukesha County Federated Library System
is interested in expanding the app so that
libraries outside of Waukesha County can
use it and generate usage reports.
However, we need partners and funding to
pay for these improvements and increased
cloud storage
