Seattle Gay Alliance letter to the public regarding progress made by the gay community of Washington, January 1, 1973
No full textA leaflet outlining the progress made by the gay community of Washington in the last three years, the plans for the immediate future, and asking people to join the effort.The Seattle Gay Alliance (SGA), formed in 1967, was formerly known as The Dorian Society. The group sought to educate gays and straights about homosexuality, to promote acceptance of gays in the largest society, and to serve as a social organization for gays. Its activities included public speaking, publishing a newsletter, organizing social events, and lobbying the state legislature. SGA was dissolved in 1975.
In June 1974, Seattle celebrated its first Gay Pride Week; in 1992, Seattle's Gay Pride Week was expanded to explicitly include bisexual and transgender communities. Seattle Pride week continues annually, and is comprised of numerous events and gatherings which celebrate LGBTQ+ communities.

Decentralized and dynamic community formation in P2P networks and performance of community based caching
Get PDFIncludes bibliographical references.2015 Summer.Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) are commonly used in large Peer-to-Peer networks to increase the efficiently of resolving queries. Minimizing the resource discovery time in P2P networks is highly desirable to improve system-wide performance. Distributed caching is an approach used to reduce the look-up time. File sharing P2P networks have shown that there exists nodes/users who share similar interests based on semantics, geography, etc., and a group of nodes that share similar interests are said to form a community. A Community Based Caching (CBC) algorithm where nodes make caching decisions based on personal interests is investigated. One of CBC’s major contributions is that it alleviates the issue of nodes being limited to caching resources that are popular relative to the entire network. Instead, caching decisions are primarily based on a node's community affiliations and interests. Community discovery algorithms that currently exists either need a centralized source(s) to aid in community discovery or require additional messaging and complicated computations to determine whether to join a group or not. In many cases, nodes are also limited to being members of only one community at a time. A dynamic and decentralized community discovery algorithm, Dynamic Group Discovery (DGD), is proposed. DGD also allows nodes to be members of multiple communities at the same time. DGD's behavior and performance is then evaluated in conjunction with the Community Based Caching algorithm. To aid in group discovery during run time (i.e., dynamically), DGD uses special keys with embedded group identification information. Oversim, a flexible overly network simulation framework is used to evaluate the proposed DGD algorithm. Performance of DGD is compared to Chord and Static Group Allocation (SGA), in which group identification is done only once. Performance is evaluated for different network sizes, community sizes, and asymmetry among communities. Performance results are presented and analyzed when queries are resolved using cache data versus when queries are resolved using non-cache data. The analysis shows that DGD generally improves lookup performance when cache data is used to resolved queries. However, when non-cache data is used, DGD occasionally performs slightly worse than Chord and SGA. For example, in a network with 10,000 nodes, asymmetrical communities and no churn group churn, DGD outperforms Chord by approximately half a hop and 0.1 seconds in latency. When churn was introduced to the same network, DGD performance drops by approximately one hop and 0.15 seconds in latency. The results also show that approximately 90% of the queries are resolved using non-cache data and therefore, even though DGD is guaranteed to reduce lookup time when asymmetrical communities are present and cache records are to used to resolve queries, it is often not enough to significantly improve overall system performance. The results however confirm that caching resources based on personal interests really does reduced lookup performance when resolving queries using cache records

Kick butts: Tobacco-free SNHU
No full textThe purpose of my project, “Kick Butts: Tobacco-Free SNHU,” is to provide tobacco awareness and education on campus. The main objective of this initiative is to create a positive difference whether it be informing students of the current policy or changing it to adapt to the needs of the community. Conducting action research such as a student survey, information interviews, and literature reviews including guides from other colleges and universities in the United States, will be vital in determining whether a tobacco-free campus would be beneficial at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) or not. By being the Student Representative of the Safety Committee, creating a display for Kick Butts Day in March, writing to the school newspaper, communicating with Student Government Association (SGA), and putting an end to the cigarette butt waste on campus, I hope to gain a better understanding of the attitudes and opinions of the community. If the majority of the SNHU community is in favor of having a tobacco-free campus, I will initiate the necessary steps to create a positive change. (Author abstract)Coulombe, M.D. (2015).

Future Understanding of Tectonics, Ores, Resources, Environment and Sustainability (FUTORES) II Conference: abstract volume
Get PDFWith the increasing world population and living standards the demand for mineral and energy resources continues to grow. Future exploration will need to target resources at increasing depths and in areas with cover, and will require an improved understanding of mineral and energy systems and advances in exploration methods and approaches. The Economic Geology Research Centre (EGRU) at James Cook University has organized the FUTORES II conference to summarise recent developments in the exploration and understanding of major types of mineral deposits, to examine the key issues and techniques critical to future minerals and energy exploration, and to discuss the way forward. The conference is being held in tropical Townsville, Queensland, Australia, on 4-7 June 2017. It is following on from the inaugural and highly successful FUTORES conference held in Townsville in 2013.FUTORES II will bring together researchers, explorers and government agencies to address issues related to the sustainable supply and utilisation of mineral and energy resources. The conference has three symposia: the David Groves Symposium - New Insights in Mineral Deposit Understanding, the New Technologies and Approaches in Mineral Exploration Symposium, and the Tectonics, Basins and Resources Symposium. The conference is convened by EGRU, an organisation that was established in 1982 to strengthen the links between research and exploration, to promote exploration-oriented research, and to facilitate knowledge transfer. EGRU has a track record of organising successful major conferences to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas and to stimulate new ideas for cutting-edge research and exploration. The Hydrothermal Odyssey conference in 2001, and the STOMP (Structure, Tectonics and Ore Mineralization Processes) conference in 2005, both attracted over 200 participants. In 2009 EGRU collaborated with the SGA to host the tenth biennial SGA conference in Townsville - Smart Science for Exploration and Mining - which attracted over 480 delegates from around the world. In 2013 the first FUTORES conference attracted around 250 participants from 15 countries. FUTORES II is looking to be equally successful and has so far attracted around 265 registrants. This conference abstract volume contains 134 abstracts covering a wide range of topics related to mineral and energy resources, tectonics and metallogenesis. The abstracts have been reviewed and edited by the Editorial Committee and, in this volume, are organised in alphabetical order of the first author. We thank the delegates for their abstracts and the reviewers for ensuring the quality of the abstract volume
