"EuroMaidan has grown into something far bigger than just an angry response to the fallen-through EU deal. It's now about ousting Yanukovych and his corrupt government; guiding Ukraine away from its 200-year-long, deeply intertwined and painful relationship with Russia; and standing up for basic human rights to protest, speak and think freely and to act peacefully without the threat of punishment."

WHAT IS A MOBLI?AND HOW WAS IT USED? TO BROADCAST A REVOLUTION?

Much like Instagram, Mobli acts as a “visual search engine” and allows users to

follow friends and search hashtags. However, Mobli actually has more features than its forefather and boasted video-sharing capabilities long before

"Diffusion of Innovations" Published in 1962:

The rate of adoption is defined as the relative speed in which members of a social system adopt an innovation. Rate is usually measured by the length of time required for a certain percentage of the members of a social system to adopt an innovation (Rogers 1962, p. 134). The rates of adoption for innovations are determined by an individual’s adopter category. In general, individuals who first adopt an innovation require a shorter adoption period (adoption process) when compared to late adopters.

Adoption is an individual process detailing the series of stages one undergoes from first

hearing about a product to finally adopting it.

METCALFE'S LAW:Which characterizes many of the network effects

of communication technologies and networks such as an Intranet, TCP/IP Networking, Social

Networking (READ: SOCIAL COMMUNITY BUILDING),

and the Internet at large.

Likewise, in social networks, the greater number of users with the service, the more valuable the

service becomes to the community. However the social utility of a network depends

upon the number of nodes in contact.

The law has often been illustrated using the example of fax machines: a single fax machine is useless, but the value of every fax machine increases with the total number of fax machines in the network, because the total number of people with whom each user may send and receive documents increases.

The understanding of the individual and the social tacit knowledge in a given community, which is a function of knowledge emergence, is the foundation of effectiveness in leadership practice."

“My family story, began sometime before 1900 in Kyiv, Anton Zubryd fell madly for Anna Chilwa. She was an actress

in a play.One night he asked to walk her home. Under the stars.”

SOON THEY WERE MARRIED WITH THEIR FIRST BORN DAUGHTER, HELEN.

NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE REVOLUTION LEAVE - SOON - WWI WHICH CHANGED THE

BORDERS OF COUNTRIES DAILY.

UKRAINIANS BECAME QUICKLY TARGETED FOR PERSECUTION, WORK CAMPS, AND EXTRADITION

FROM ALL NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.

Anton came to America with his brother around 1900 from Kyiv, to escape persecution.They were sponsored by:

The Coca-Cola Company to come to Pensilvania, and work in the coal mines.

Kyiv meant conversion to Polish Catholicism or death. Constant hatred and discrimination - more death.
