Today Aquamarines protect all who travel by, over or near the sea. While traces of iron determine its coloring, aquamarines are typically light greenish-blue to blue. Aquamarines, in ancient times, were regarded as the treasure of mermaids and were carried by sailors for good luck on their voyages. March’s birthstone has a long history of being associated with the water and those who live and travel by the sea.

Not all the social media reaction was positive, of course, since some postings showed people destroying their Nike products to protest the ad. Kaepernick himself has nearly 2 million followers on Twitter. Tennis star Serena Williams, who is also part of the ad campaign, posted this on Twitter: "Especially proud to be a part of the Nike family today." Her tweet drew roughly 200,000 likes and retweets. Mentions of Nike on social media have soared since it announced the Kaepernick ad. Nike partners with top athletes around the world to inspire people to improve their lives in many ways - with Nike supplying the products they need.Īnd it's working. Nike knows that the company is not so much in the shoe and T-shirt business as in the hero business. People who never watch a football game know who he is. In November 2017, GQ named Kaepernick its citizen of the year. Amnesty International gave Kaepernick its Ambassador of Conscience award.Īnd his willingness to continue his protest despite what it has cost him has drawn comparisons with Muhammad Ali's anti-war stance a half-century ago when the boxing champion refused to go to Vietnam. His protest may have cost him millions of dollars in lost income and the chance to play a game he loves at the highest levels of his sport. But his stance against police brutality and the reaction it ignited also has made Kaepernick an icon of the age. While reviled by President Donald Trump and denounced as a traitor by many, Kaepernick ranks as a folk hero to millions. More: Nike controversy: Colin Kaepernick ad exposes company's hypocrisy More: Big Sean: Appalled at removal of Colin Kaepernick lyric in 'Madden' But politics and protests aside, the Nike ad demonstrates an uncanny ability on Nike's part to understand its customers and to tap into the spirit of the age. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback's protest caught on, was joined by dozens of other players across the NFL and sparked a nationwide debate about the meaning of the anthem and the conduct of police in our communities.Īs a result, Kaepernick has not been able to get a job in the NFL since. Kaepernick, as even non-football fans probably know, inspired a movement to protest racial injustice and police brutality against people of color by choosing to kneel, rather than stand, for the national anthem before a National Football League game. The Nike ad, to mark the 30th anniversary of its "Just Do It" slogan, features a tight closeup of Kaepernick's face with these words imposed over it: "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything," followed by Nike's hashtag slogan #JustDoIt. Nike, the sports apparel company, has released what may rank as the shrewdest ad of the year featuring ostracized football player Colin Kaepernick.

Keep distribution posts and destinations as close as possible. When daisy-chaining multiple districts, it is a good idea to have drop-off points and distribution posts close together. It is more efficient to have a warehouse to store items to be exported near the distribution center. However, there must be room in the warehouse that is set up to accept the item. The 10x distribution post will buffer 200 units of items per route. For example, if the district is set to accept more than 2000 (including ∞) loaves of bread, the market will be full of bread and will not accept other items. If multiple routes are to be established for a single drop-off market, the district distribution limits should be carefully set. The drop-off point has a capacity of only 300 and cannot accept too many routes. if the upper limit of the destination district is 100 and the district has only 99 items, the worker will export only 1 item.)

Unfortunately the on-demand sync options is not available on desktops or laptops, in my opinion this would be a nice additionĬompanies who purchase XenMobile Enterprise are entitled to use Citrix ShareFile as well. ShareFile On-Demand Sync is designed for integration with hosted desktops and applications running in XenApp and XenDesktop environments. Users are presented a full list of files and folders to which they have access and are only synchronized when accessed.

This could easily be achieved by using the ShareFileOn-demand.admx to configure the Sync for Windows client on an RDS server. ![]() Lucky the Sync for Windows client is RDS aware and behaves different, in this case on-demand sync is used! Because of the on-demand sync, we wanted to present all files and folder a user was authorized for. For a desktop or laptop I don’t mind the files being cached offline, for my Citrix XenDesktop server however I don’t want all users caching all files locally. With the ShareFile preferences GUI, users are able to determine which folders need to be available for them, after which the selected files are cached offline. For desktop and laptops the installation was pretty straight forward and we didn’t need to customize much. An environment which exists of desktops, laptops and a Citrix XenDesktop farm.

From a user perspective I hope ShareFile will add this functionality in a upcoming release of the Windows and MAC OSx clients, one interface for all data across all clients is much simpler and transparent for end users! We were told Citrix has a different vision/idea about a classic Windows/Mac OSX client, on these clients users are supposed to use a classic drive mapping. For example the Windows and Mac OSX Client are not able to display the ShareFile CIFS connector. The customer didn’t want to use CIFS or ShareFile connectors, all data had to be placed into on premise Storage Zones.ĭata would be accessible only through ShareFile, no other file services would be offeredĪlthough Citrix ShareFile offers a client for almost every platform, the different clients don’t have the same functionality.
