The Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate supported mechanical engineering students from the University of New Mexico during preparations to launch the world's largest amateur rocket May 27 in Rio Rancho.
With the rocket measuring 48 feet tall, the only structure capable of housing it for dress rehearsals of the "integrate, erect and launch" process was Hangar 760 on Kirtland Air Force Base. AFRL provided use of the hangar via a strategic education partnership agreement signed by AFRL's Directed Energy and Space Vehicles directors and UNM's president last year.
The students determined to build a two-thirds replica of the historic PGM-11 Redstone rocket, a relic of the Cold War and the first missile to carry a live nuclear warhead. Although the original Redstone weighed 62,000 pounds and produced 83,000 pounds of thrust, the UNM rocket weighed 260 pounds with a thrust just under 2,000 pounds.
Over the course of the spring semester, 20 members of the UNM Rocket Engineering Team instructed by Fernando "Doc" Aguilar, a UNM adjunct faculty member and retired Air Force officer, designed and built the rocket. The students managed the senior design project along the same model as an Air Force acquisition program
Unofficially named "Lobo Launch" by the students, the rocket was to achieve a velocity of 200 mph and an altitude of 3,000 feet before releasing a UNM-developed miniature satellite. However, due to the failure of one fin, the rocket broke up at 300 feet.
"Despite the flight malfunction, the students gained tremendous experience during the months-long immersion in all facets of system design, acquisition, fabrication and launch operations," Aguilar said.
Avery Lopez, one of the students who helped build the rocket, also saw the launch as a learning experience.
"It wasn't what we anticipated, but the fact is we launched," Lopez said. "That's a feat in and of itself for UNM."

Pancake Tuesday, as it is known in Blighty, also Shrove Tuesday as it is the day on which one shrives.....ie confesses one's multitudinous sins before the beginning of Lent. Also the day when you decide to deprive yourself of 'luxury' foods for the next 46 days, eggs and butter constituting 'luxury', thus Pancake Tuesday was born to use up the remaining butter and eggs, of course with the addition of flour.
In Britain many pancake races (here's a link to the pancake races in London 2012) are held on, yes, Pancake Tuesday......a race open to women over 16 who must wear a cap and apron and run 415 yards (who chose that number I wonder?) whilst tossing their pancakes at least three times. Dropping your pancake means instant disqualification.
British pancakes are what Americans would call crepes...they are very thin and light and crepe like. Growing up we always had two sorts of toppings on our pancakes (and yes we always did have pancakes on Pancake Tuesday).....jam (how very Eddie Izzard!) and the very Brit lemon and butter, by which James is horrified! I have Americanized my lemon and butter with the excellent addition of maple syrup....lemon and maple is a truly great combination.
I use Jooolia's French cooking crepes recipe for my pancakes...and no I don't run in races with them. For some unknown reason my pancakes would not toss this time...I am usually very good at flipping a pancake.....not today....must be something to do with all the snow we have!!
3/4 cup of cold whole milk
3/4 cup cold water
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla essence (Joolia uses 3 tablespoons rum, brandy or orange liqueur but that doesn't work for Pancake Tuesday pancakes)
1 cup of flour, scooped and levelled
5 tablespoons of melted butter
THE METHOD.....bone achingly hard.....place all the ingredients in the jar of a blender in the order they are listed and blend at high speed for one minute. Scrape down any flour on the sides of the jar and blend again for 3, not 4, seconds. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and preferably overnight.
For each pancake I used about 3 tablespoons of batter, I let them cook on medium high heat with just a glimmer of butter to grease the pan, preferably a copper crepe pan, for about 2 minutes on the first side 'til browned on the edges and they come free of the pan when shaken, not stirred, laterally. I attempted to flip today and failed miserably so I loosened the edges with a sharp knife and persuaded the unwilling pancake to flip over with a spatula.....I cooked them on the other side for about one minute then I shimmied them onto a plate knee deep in granulated sugar...for the jam ones I placed about 1 tablespoon of Bonne Maman cherry preserves in a strip in the centre of the pancake and rolled it up into a tube the way my Mum did, and for the lemon ones I dotted with butter, squeezed lemon on the butter (a Meyer lemon if you can get one, so much more fragrant and juicier) and folded into quarters then sprinkled both types with a bit more sugar...ta dah!!!...Pancake Tuesday pancakes...and delicious they were too. I have some batter left so I can have more tomorrow on the correct day.

Sometimes the plain and simple headline is the one that works best to capture attention. As such headlines go, "Academic Science Isn't Sexist" fits the bill nicely. Flying in the face of a raft of studies and confounding a widely accepted narrative about the experiences of women in science and engineering fields, this op-ed in Sunday's New York Times by Cornell researchers Wendy Williams and Stephen Ceci has launched a spirited Twitter thread and what is sure to be a growing series of responses; see Emily Willingham, Jonathan Eisen, and The Guardian, for a start.
Take our quick, four-question survey below to weigh in on the article.
Can this be?
The money point - "the experiences of young and mid-career women in math-intensive fields are, for the most part, similar to those of their male counterparts." The research underlying this claim, laid forth in an article from an upcoming edition of Psychological Science in the Public Interest, finds generally comparable outcomes for men and women across realms of hiring, pay, promotion, persistence, research funding, and articles accepted and cited. Not much wiggle room left, once all these areas are catalogued.
Education and Lifestyle Preferences
The article explains under-representation of women in these fields as functions of early educational choices and occupational or lifestyle preferences. Girls prefer play involving living things - people or animals - while boys gravitate to machines, building, or object-centered play. With the right kind of encouragement and classroom feedback, girls will find success and satisfaction in math-intensive fields, especially when they bring well developed math and science skills with them to college studies.
Like many readers of this piece, I was bethumped. Without academic training in the field, I hesitate to draw conclusions about the validity of the research findings. They're certainly provocative. The researchers lay bare their methodology, review sources, and build their argument over 65 pages of dense academic prose; the piece has heft, no doubt about it.
The Point
Their conclusion, in sum, holds, "that although in the past, gender discrimination was an important part of the cause of women's under-representation in scientific academic careers, this claim has continued to be invoked after it has ceased being a valid cause."
What do you think?
Take our quick survey and see what other people think. Thanks!

Disney World vacation in December
Hi, i scheduled my Disney World vacation on December 9, 2010 for 6 nights figuring this will be a great time to go before the "large crowds". It appears by your write up this year that the crowds will be large this year due to cheerleading?
I have gone 7 times before, 5 all in the 1st two weeks of dec and it has been awesome. I'm a little nervous this year. Also, i have always stayed in the moderate or deluxe hotels, this year I booked in the pop century. Any comments about this?? Thanks for your time.
Dad's don't worry, be happy AnswerAndie,
You are correct, crowds at Disney World in December are fairly light until around the 20th. The Pop Warner Football Championships and Cheerleading competition are held the first full week of December. This has been going on for several years. Here's what Dad's said about the first week of December.

A hot, dry summer and a hazy, smoky sky have got the Climate Crusader thinking about water.
Yesterday evening, as I was making the 45 minute drive home after dinner with my in-laws, the air was filled with hazy smoke. There are wildfires burning nearby, following a hot, dry June and even hotter, dryer start to July. Here in the Pacific Northwest we're more known for our 'liquid sunshine' (a.k.a. rain) than actual sunshine, but so far 2015 has proven an exception. We're parched. And local government is responding by increasing water use restrictions. No surprise.
Many people are far more experienced with drought than I am. I have decided to take this opportunity to read through old Green Phone Booth articles to get suggestions. If you'd like tips on saving water and the planet, here's a quick guide I've compiled courtesy of my fellow super heroes.

Well, 10yo and I were lucky enough to be able to meet the wonderful Laura Dockrill in Chiswick recently – she's so delightful it's tricky not to completely fall in love with her!
So, if you've not heard of her, you really must check her out most immediately…Her new book is about ten-year-old Darcy Burdock, who sees the extraordinary in the everyday and the wonder in the world around her. It's charming and very funny (my boys roared with laughter at a seagull-kicking-incident, as her Dad says, it's not Darcy's 'proudest moment'… say no more…).
In this first book, we are introduced to her Mum and Dad her younger siblings, Hector and Poppy, who Darcy likes dressing up in ridiculous outfits and having dance-offs with, respectively. Plus there's her non-bleating pet lamb, Lamb-Beth and best friend, Will, to have adventures with.
Laura on writing for Children:
Roald Dahl has and always will be my largest inspiration. He is a prominent figure and inspiration for me and what I do. Flitting between poetry, short stories and novels for both adults and children he is really, very important for me and what I do. In my view, Dahl breaks boundaries, he is a storyteller in its most honest and natural form and was my first admiration for writing- he taught me how to write.
It's a great read, and we were indeed very lucky to meet Laura, and hear her read. 10yo was enchanted, and related completely to the anger-management issues (Darcy turns into an Angrosaurus who can only be calmed with Maltesers!)

Product Description
How CNC works
There is another article included in this web site called The Basics of CNC that explains how to program, setup, and operate CNC machines in greater detail. Additionally, we offer a series of products aimed at helping you learn how to use CNC machines. Here we're relating how CNC works in very general terms.
As you might already have guessed, everything that an operator would be required to do with conventional machine tools is programmable with CNC machines. Once the machine is setup and running, a CNC machine is quite simple to keep running. In fact CNC operators tend to get quite bored during lengthy production runs because there is so little to do. With some CNC machines, even the workpiece loading process has been automated. (We don't mean to over-simplify here. CNC operators are commonly required to do other things related to the CNC operation like measuring workpieces and making adjustments to keep the CNC machine running good workpieces.)
Let's look at some of the specific programmable functions.
Motion control
All CNC machine types share this commonality: They all have two or more programmable directions of motion called axes. An axis of motion can be linear (along a straight line) or rotary (along a circular path). One of the first specifications that implies a CNC machine's complexity is how many axes it has. Generally speaking, the more axes, the more complex the machine.
The axes of any CNC machine are required for the purpose of causing the motions needed for the manufacturing process. In the drilling example, these (3) axis would position the tool over the hole to be machined (in two axes) and machine the hole (with the third axis). Axes are named with letters. Common linear axis names are X, Y, and Z. Common rotary axis names are A, B, and C.
Programmable accessories
A CNC machine wouldn't be very helpful if all it could only move the workpiece in two or more axes. Almost all CNC machines are programmable in several other ways. The specific CNC machine type has a lot to do with its appropriate programmable accessories. Again, any required function will be programmable on full-blown CNC machine tools. Here are some examples for one machine type.
Machining centers
Automatic tool changer
Most machining centers can hold many tools in a tool magazine. When required, the required tool can be automatically placed in the spindle for machining.
Spindle speed and activation
The spindle speed (in revolutions per minute) can be easily specified and the spindle can be turned on in a forward or reverse direction. It can also, of course, be turned off.
Many machining operations require coolant for lubrication and cooling purposes. Coolant can be turned on and off from within the machine cycle.

Honda's Hybrid Civic is a Lesson in Cost-Effectiveness
On the premise that one should never buy an umbrella during a rainstorm, this is a good time to consider a hybrid car. As gasoline prices have fallen from last summer's record high, so has demand for cars like the Toyota Prius and the lesser known and quite appealing Honda Civic Hybrid.
It's worth considering, even though it hasn't been updated much since its arrival as a 2003 model and even though it's no longer eligible for a federal tax credit.
Fuel economy is government-estimated at 40 miles per gallon in local driving and 45 on the highway — 42 combined. The Civic hybrid costs about $3,500 more than a comparably equipped conventional Civic sedan — a difference that no longer is reduced by a $2,100 federal income tax credit, which expired last year.
Miles per gallon benefits
A conventional Civic with automatic transmission averages 29 mpg, according to the EPA. So, the hybrid should use 160 fewer gallons of gasoline in 15,000 miles of driving (357 vs. 517 gallons). At today's prices of about $2 a gallon, that's a saving of $320 a year, equating to a payback time for the hybrid of about 11 years.
But, at $4.35 a gallon, last summer's average high for regular on Long Island, the saving would be $696 a year, reducing the payback time to about five years.
The Civic is one of 16 hybrid-powered vehicles available in the United States for '09. Honda will offer another in April: the 2010 Insight, redesigned as a four-door.
The Civic's fuel economy isn't quite as good as that of the Prius, which is rated at 48 mpg in local driving and the same 45 as the Civic on the highway but that's mostly because the Civic, unlike the Prius, cannot creep along on its electric motor in very slow traffic. The Civic's engine does stop when the vehicle does but restarts as soon as the driver's foot is removed from the brake. Honda says the electric motor sometimes propels the car by itself at cruising speeds but I never detected that.
Smooth moves
The Civic hybrid exacts no compromises from the driver in acceleration or handling but the hybrid's rear seat back does not fold down to increase trunk room because the hybrid battery pack is behind it. And the batteries reduce trunk space by about two cubic feet.
The interface between the gasoline engine, electric motor and the "continuously variable" or stemless transmission is seamless, although this type of transmission, used only in the hybrid version of the Civic, tends to accentuate engine noise.
Civics got an exterior freshening for '09 and the Civic hybrid became available with leather-trimmed seating and Bluetooth hands-free cell phone link. Civics have an almost perfect safety rating from the federal government and are deemed a "top safety" pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. They are among Consumer Reports' "recommended" models.

The release of classified documents in the past years have offered a rare glimpse into the opaque world of tax havens and their role in the global economy. Although the political, economic and social implications related to these financial secrecy jurisdictions are known, their role in supporting economic activities with potentially detrimental environmental consequences have until now been largely ignored. Here, we combine qu...

Guest Author Jennifer Withers of Pretoria, South Africa
Jennifer Withers has been writing since she was seven years old, banging out stories about dragons and damsels in distress on an ancient typewriter. She went on to earn a BA in English Studies at the University of Pretoria. Since then, she has taken writing courses through Writer's Write, and Allaboutwriting. Jennifer lives in Pretoria, with her husband, two dogs, and an ageing cat. The War Between is her first novel.
Following is an excerpt. Copyright is held by the author. Used by permission.
Raven raised her hands. The marking on the back of her left hand glowed and waned in a rhythmic wave. Light pulsed from both her palms. I felt the heat of it from where I stood. Raven pushed the light away from her, striking Emery in the chest, knocking her to the dirt floor of the ring. Emery sprang to her feet immediately, her expression twisting into a mask of fury. She threw herself at Raven, who stepped aside. Emery flew right out of the ring, barely saving herself from landing on her face. She let out a scream of frustration, her face scarlet as titters of barely suppressed laughter filled the room.
Raven crossed to Emery and helped her up. 'If you let your rage get the better of you, if you lose your focus, you'll never win. You can beat me, but only if you keep it together.'
She pulled Emery back into the centre. 'Let's do it again. Concentrate this time. Don't lose your cool.'
Raven raised her hands again. Before she could do anything else, a spark shot from Emery's right hand, slamming into Raven's shoulder and unbalancing her. She fell to the floor in an ungraceful heap, laughing. 'Good! That's what I'm talking about.' Emery's face shone with pride, her grin so wide it threatened to spill off her face.
I turned to Draiken. 'She's improving.'
He slung an arm across my shoulders and pushed me to the smaller ring where several teenagers stood waiting.
'Yes she is. But Emery's not who I wanted you to see.'
He motioned to Trey, a lanky boy who was the one and only Converted of our kind. His presence still unnerved me, even though there had been no signs of instability in his behaviour. The conversion seemed to suit him, but I worried all the same.
'Trey. Demonstrate for Syra.'
Trey stepped forward silently. His brow furrowed, and his gaze centred on a line of tin cans propped on a table several metres away. One of the tins wobbled, threatening to tip off the edge. Then it rose, as if pulled up by an invisible string. It jerked towards Trey in fitful starts, occasionally pausing and hovering, then resuming its journey through thin air until finally, it landed neatly in Trey's palm. His smile of triumph was directed at me. I smiled in return. It felt strained.
'Isn't it remarkable?' Draiken asked. Without waiting for a reply he turned back to Trey. 'Watch again. He's a Physical too.'
I felt my alarm levels spike. 'He's a Dual?'
Draiken nodded, his excitement palpable. 'Trey. Show Syra.'
Trey took off towards the opposite wall, moving so fast my eyes could barely track him. Halfway across the room he leaped, his feet leaving the floor in a blur of speed. He landed gracefully against the wall and seemed to hover there, his hands and feet flat against the brick. Despite myself, I was entranced. He remained facing the wall, his hands and feet braced against it, for another moment or two before sliding to the floor again.
Draiken grinned at me. 'I think he's nearly as fast as you.'
'Amazing,' Ray murmured. 'And he's a Convert. Imagine the possibilities.'
Draiken shot me a triumphant look. 'Exactly.'
Trey sauntered back to us, arrogance creasing his face, his eyes burning with excitement. He looked at me expectantly, and suddenly all I wanted was to wipe that overconfidence from his face.
'Very impressive,' I said flatly. Disappointment flashed briefly over his face before he managed to arrange his features into a neutral expression.
I could feel the heat of Draiken's questioning stare searing into my temple.
I avoided his gaze. 'We need to talk.'
I turned around and made my way down the stairs, heading to the small room off to the right side of the front door. Draiken followed me and shut the door behind him, but not before I caught a glimpse of Ray talking animatedly with Trey, his face lit with excitement.
'What was that all about?'
I shrugged. 'You know the boy gives me the creeps. I told you from the beginning I wasn't comfortable with a conversion. And you went and trained him anyway. We're supposed to be making these kind of decisions together.'
Draiken snorted. 'I knew you wouldn't agree. I was hoping to win you over with his demonstrations. We're Converts, Sy. And look at us. We're perfectly normal. We're not hacking anyone to death with a dinner knife. Besides, the boy came to us. He risked his life to cross The Waste, on the off-chance we'd allow him to become one of us. We need more like him.'
The smile in his voice irritated me. 'The Creator converted us. He had more of a clue than we do. Do you think President Crane will be pleased if he hears we're doing conversions on humans?' I paced the tight corners of the room. 'You shouldn't be so flippant about this. You normally take my feelings seriously. Especially when they involve people.'
'This isn't one of your sixth sense feelings, Sy. This is you not taking to Trey, which isn't unusual for you. You're not exactly the warm and cuddly type. As for Crane – what does it matter? He'll never find out. At least not until it's too late.' He smirked. 'Anyway the boy could be from any of the human cities. No one knows for sure if Toria is the only one left.'
I shot him a look. 'This is absolutely not personal. He's a Convert, and a Dual. What if he becomes unstable?'
'Then we kill him. The only thing we'll have lost is time. I've had a look at the numbers and we need a drastic increase if we're going to manage the takeover. You already know this.'
I folded my arms. 'What does this have to do with Trey?'
'Converts are the way to get those numbers.'
'Draiken! You haven't discussed this with me.'
He held up a hand. 'I'm discussing it with you now.' He motioned to a nearby chair. 'Sit, will you? You're making me edgy.'
I glared at him but dropped into the chair anyway.
'We agreed that we would try something other than populating the natural way. There have been increasing reports of more and more couples having trouble conceiving. And when they do, some of the children have been born – '
'Deformed. I know.'
'Exactly. If more families have deformed kids then we may as well welcome humans into Jozenburg. Those kids are exactly like them. No skills. At least no useful ones.
'Those that are healthy grow quickly, yes, but it still isn't fast enough. Not if we're going to mobilise against the humans soon. I've already spoken to the Elders –'
I half rose out of my chair. 'Without consulting me? You had a gathering without me there? What the hell, Drake! You said we would lead together.' His face remained impassive, except for one raised eyebrow, admonishing me without a word. I sank back down, feeling his condescension in every pore of my skin.
'We agreed that I would oversee the training, didn't we? That's what I'm doing. We've got to play to our strengths. If you want to change the arrangement then say so, otherwise stop being a prophet of doom and let me get on with things.'
'Why did the Elders allow you to meet them without me?'
'They asked me the same thing. I told them I wanted to run it by them first, because you would need some convincing. They agree with me. We can't convince the humans we need another city, without the numbers to justify it.'
'I doubt we'll convince President Crane anyway… Wait. What numbers?'
'Don't act stupid, Sy. You know the humans have no knowledge of our problems with procreation.'
'So the Elders agreed to this ridiculous plan of yours? To convert humans? What about the loss of life?'
Draiken grimaced and shook his head. 'Honestly Sy. Why do you even think human life is worth preserving? Look what they did to this country – this world - with their greed.'
'Regardless, the Elders said a hostile take-over was out of the question. We do it peacefully, or not at all.'
Draiken rolled his eyes. 'Yes – the Elders are quite the idealists. I told them that converting would benefit us all. We won't take any humans forcibly. We'll offer them the choice.'
I rose, preparing to leave before my temper made a fool of me. Draiken's voice pulled me back. 'I need your blessing on this. The Elders don't want to force you into it. You know how they are – freedom of choice and all that sentimental crap.'
'Will they go ahead and do it if I refuse to be a part of this?'
Draiken gave me a look. 'Yes. But if the Elders decide we can no longer work together then both our positions are in danger.'
'I can't agree to this. I think it's a terrible mistake. We don't know the exact science of conversion. We don't know what will happen if one of the humans reacts badly to the change. You could be putting all of us in danger.'
Draiken reached for my hands and squeezed them. 'I need you on my team. Please. Trust me. I know I can make this work. And if I can't, if anything goes wrong, I'll stop. The Elders will never allow bloodshed among our own kind. I need your help with the conversions. Your gifts are too great not to pass on.'
My sixth sense screamed at me not to agree. The warning heat of going against my feeling flooded my cheeks, pulsed like a living thing behind my eyes, throbbed in the hastened beat of my blood. I couldn't refuse him. I had never been able to, even when we were kids. I owed him too much. Without him, I wouldn't be here at all. The memories of that night rushed through me, reeking of fear and blood. The screams echoing in the cavernous space of the laboratory. I clamped down hard on them. They went silent. Still I felt them, hovering in the darkest places of my mind, waiting to take flight again.
'Fine.' I ignored the drop of my stomach, the sudden film of sweat on my palms. 'But from now on I want to know everything that's going on, and I want to be present at all the conversions.'
Draiken hugged me tightly, his excitement enveloping me like an ominous cloud.
'Thanks Sy. I promise you won't regret it.'
I nodded and extricated myself from his grasp. I left the room, dread clotting my throat and filling my mouth with the bitter snap of regret.

Mobile devices have never been as popular as they are now. Most people use them to fulfill a lot of daily tasks at work, as well as at home. Recently, the majority of bank clients were afraid to use the online functionality of some bank's Apps to check their accounts, make money transfers, pay bills and send checks because of wide spread apprehension of becoming a victim of fraud and fishing. However, experience has shown mobile systems to be as secure and accurate as if you went to the bank yourself. It is a concern to most industries that mobile devices and applications are managed to ensure they will make peoples' lives easier and less stressful. Why go somewhere to get something, if you can easily make payments online, book rooms, call and order a taxi, look through your favorite magazines and newspapers, watch videos, check weather forecasts and more, all with a small gadget in your palm.
Big corporations are certainly aware of the growing popularity of mobility and certainly intend to find a mobile solution for their software. No doubt, this task is a high priority. However, it is not so simple to achieve. As the population becomes more mobile, businesses must hone their mobile offerings. Often, these offerings appear to be enterprise mobile apps. Large companies have have people on their staff who are capable of writing code. However, it is difficult for them to quickly switch from writing in other programming languages, to mobile App languages like Objective C or Java they may have no background in or haven't used in years. On average, it takes even experienced programmers more than half a year to accurately learn them. Retraining an existing team to code for mobile apps will not only create additional expenses from the time it takes the developer to become effective with the new coding languages, but there is the loss of work on other projects which would likely offer a more crucial meaning for the business than even the app. Hiring third-party developers is not a reasonable solution to the problem as there are not many of them that have the experience and availability. Because they are in such high demand, they are able to charge rates that are likely to put the app development budget overly excessive. That leads to the issue some companies are facing now. How can I meet the urgent necessity to go mobile and meet the needs and demands of my clients and customers?
There is a great solution for every company asking this question. It's the Snappii enterprise app development platform. Snappii offers excellent opportunities for businesses to build their own apps. Using the platform's visual WYSIWYG visual drag and drop editor, mobile apps are quick and easy to build. All important app platforms are supported, including iOS, Android and HTML5 web apps. You can utilize your existing staff to create apps and solve the problem of retraining your own staff or hiring overpriced or unavailable experienced mobile app programmers. Most amazing, it isn't even necessary to have programming skills to successfully design an app using the Snappii platform. And, it's not only basic, simple apps that can be made using the Snappii Platform. The list of new and powerful features is always growing. In December, the features will become even greater when Snappii will release its new Web Service feature. This will make it possible to connect any of your apps to different web services, draw upon them using the app, then be able to display and use the required data in the app. With Snappii, mobile enterprises will save significant time and money - one single Enterprise fee will include all of the platforms, white label and dashboard options as well as allowing you to create an unlimited number of apps through your Enterprise account. The Enterprise account will free businesses to create all of the apps they need and design them to fit any specific needs a department may have. If you are a savvy, budget conscious CEO looking to ensure your corporation doesn't get swept under by the wave of apps on the market, visit Snappii website today and check all of the benefits your could be taking advantage of while increasing your market share.
As companies work to tighten up their mobile strategies, customers and enterprises alike will go on reaping the benefits. Thanks to mobile enterprise apps, organizations can streamline business processes, and connect with a wider range of clients, whether they are at home, the office, or just on the road. The mobile era is here, and enterprises are seeing the rewards if their they're investing in their mobile-facing efforts.

Starting this month, Miami University's Interactive Media Studies, or IMS, department will be testing out MESH, a student-and-alumni-created app.
The app's main purpose is to facilitate student-to-student, faculty-to-student and faculty-to-faculty networks. It differs from Canvas in that it extends to non-academic activities, too.
Tsavo Knott, co-founder and junior IMS major, said the company entered into a formal agreement on Sept. 11 to launch MESH with the department. A meeting will be held before the end of the month to introduce IMS faculty to the application.
Instructors interested can opt-in to study, use and apply it as part of their curricular mission.
Glenn Platt, the founder of Interactive Media Studies at Miami, facilitated an independent study for Knott and supported the startup.
Platt was a fan of MESH, particularly because he was familiar with Slack, which he and his colleagues find efficient for internal, departmental communication.
"The cool thing about MESH is that it brings that Slack-like functionality, but in the context of the Canvas world," said Platt.
Platt will implement MESH into his social media marketing course.
Knott and Mack Myers met through High Street Startups, formerly known as Miami Entrepreneurs. After months of collaboration, they created a "real-time communication platform for higher education" called MESH.
The MESH team is made up of five people: president and 2016 graduate Mack Myers, former IMS professor and 2012 Miami graduate Jacob Berding, Miami computer science professor Michael Stahr and Miami juniors Tsavo Knott and Brian Lambert.
During his time as an undergraduate, Myers said he made it his mission to talk to everyone he could about his app idea to gauge peer interest.
Registration at Miami registers students into the app's database. All organizations, classes, dorms and departments were pre-programmed. All students had to do was download the app.
The ease of the app's sociable charm was what one of MESH's designers, junior Tsavo Knott, emphasized.
"It immediately creates a community that's paralleled in the digital world," said Knott.
Exchanging cell phone numbers and email addresses in new groups is unnecessary. Instead, the person's name is all that's required. Likewise, sharing of documents and any general information can be streamlined through MESH.
Lead developer Jacob Berding, a Miami alumnus and former IMS instructor, knew what it is like for learning to stop at the classroom door. He believed in teaching strategies that move as fast as the high-speed world and using even faster technologies.
"Education is steady, [with] no increase in the speed to communicate and collaborate. We're trying to keep that momentum going," said Berding.
The MESH team also took opportunities to learn and network by attending expo-like events with experts and aspiring entrepreneurs in their industry.
In October, the team will travel to Educause, an annual conference convening the "best thinking in higher education IT." They will be pitching MESH to investors, chief information officers, and Educause board members, all who Myers referred to as "highly impactful people in this marketplace."
As with any new company, some formal guidelines also had to be met. These involved applying for numerous certifications. Miami being a public university, the list of hindrances was lengthy.
MESH has been certified through the Internet Keep Safe Coalition, or iKeepSafe. Among this coalition's certified products list are Proctorio and Quizlet.
This approval means MESH was officially approved as accessible to all persons, taking impaired users into account for every feature. It means MESH has security and FERPA certification, as well.
Berding's teaching experience has not been his only asset. Being the first Interactive Media Studies major ever at the university, he was the backbone of what made the actual web application work.
He has coded every day for the past two months. Any optimization the team saw fit, Berding found a way. Lambert and Knott, although not the official developers, both hold computer science minors and know what to ask of their main coder.
The team will continue working, hoping to eventually reach outside Miami to other parts of Ohio and other states. They indicated continuing conversations with investors and other higher education institutions will be their keys toward expansion.

2012 is well under way but the results from 2011 are still rolling in. In a holiday season that many hoped would shows sparks of life and recovery from recession, it simply wasn't as good for small businesses as expected.
There was growth but it was modest. As our friends at Intuit demonstrate, the midwest did the best in America while New England and the west coast showed slower growth than the rest of the country.
Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing were the industries that showed the best growth. The wholesale trade for whatever reason barely grew at all.

There's a lot of conflicting information out there surrounding red meat. While some tout it as an essential source of iron, protein, zinc, and vitamin B12, others can't get past the alleged cancer risks associated with a diet rich in beef, lamb, pork, and the like. In fact, the World Health Organization called red meat a "probable carcinogenic" back in 2015.
So for the die-hard carnivores among us, how can you lower these risks and eat red meat in a way that is healthy? "A healthy diet can absolutely include moderate amounts of red meat," said Rachel Begun, a registered dietitian and nutritionist, to Fox News Lifestyle. "It's packed with protein (there are about 22 grams in a three-ounce portion), which plays a role in weight loss by inducing that feel-full sensation."
The key is to pay attention to portion sizes and learn how to select a healthy cut. The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends eating no more than 18 ounces of red meat per week, with a portion size clocking in around three to four ounces (about the size of a small iPhone). Unsurprisingly, restaurants are known to distort normal portion sizes, considering some serve up to 16 ounces in a typical dish.
When it comes to choosing the right cut, dietitian Robyn Kievit Kirkman suggests choosing a piece of meat with "round" or "loin" on the label in order to limit calories and fat. Always opt for organic grass-fed options when possible, as they have less fat and more antioxidants than grain-fed beef. And finally, try thinking of meat as "one ingredient in your dish rather than making it the star of your place," explains Begun. For example, try adding slices of beef to a dinner salad or a veggie stir-fry.
For more, read up on what happens to your body when you give up meat, and share your favorite healthy cut in the comments below!

Chris Rock found himself in hot water with Selena Gomez fans after he took to social media and shared a meme that seems to paint Selena as a generic, store brand Beyoncé. The photo in question references Selena's "Revival World Tour" look and compares it to attending Beyoncé's concert, had someone purchased the "Formation tickets on Craigslist."
Fans on both sides of the Selena-Beyoncé spectrum weighed in, and quite a few agreed that the joke was made in bad taste. Some attacked Chris from the angle of a desperate career attempt after "Kevin Hart ruined him." Others decided to point out that it might be time to step away from the internet and not take jokes so personally.
See the post that started the buzz and a few reactions below.
Do you think the joke was in bad taste?

During Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, winds and floods knocked out virtually every form of communication: landline service, cellular phone service, the Internet, and radio transmission. Even when radio equipment did work, law enforcement officials and emergency crews were unable to communicate with one another because their radio systems were incompatible. This caused confusion and delay and made it nearly impossible for officials to coordinate missions.[1]
During emergency situations—whether a natural disaster like Katrina, large transportation accident, or terrorist attack—public safety officials from different agencies (in some cases, different counties and States) must be able to effectively communicate with each other. If they cannot share information quickly, critical time will be wasted and lives could be lost. Unfortunately, police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel cannot always depend on wireless radio communications during natural disasters, major accidents, or criminal activities because their radio systems are often incompatible.
New technology is emerging that will enable public safety officials to exchange information seamlessly: experts call it "interoperability." One of the most promising of these technologies is software defined radio (SDR) systems.
SDR is a type of radio that uses software to control a radio's operating parameters and protocols, allowing the radio to be updated and reconfigured, thus minimizing the need to change existing hardware. SDR can overcome the challenges of incompatible communications systems by allowing radios to be easily updated with new functions, protocols, and standards. Most police radios today cannot be easily reconfigured to implement new capabilities, and as a result, incorporating new communications technology into an agency's operations can take decades. SDR technology has the potential to break that cycle by helping to ensure that the investment a department makes today does not lock it into limited solutions for many years. SDR enables new technology to be introduced without replacing the whole system and allows interoperability to be maintained without having to move all users to the new technology at the same time.
The good news is that some elements of SDR technology exist in most public safety radios manufactured today; the bad news is that the full potential of SDR for public safety communications is yet to be realized. Before this can happen, significant technical, operational, and regulatory concerns must be addressed. The National Institute of Justice (NIJ)—through partnerships and research grants—is working to help resolve these issues and accelerate the progress of SDR technology so that public safety officials can communicate effectively with each other and save lives.
Traditionally, local police departments and other public safety organizations make independent purchasing decisions for mobile communications devices. With more than 50,000 independent organizations making these decisions—based primarily on local factors—it is not surprising that the field is filled with incompatible communications systems. Further complicating matters, Federal agencies do not generally use the same frequency bands as State and local agencies, making it difficult to coordinate during a major incident.
Significant strides have been made in linking incompatible radio systems to improve first responders' ability to communicate. For example, current technology allows the transmission on one radio system to be rebroadcast on one or more systems. Such rebroadcasts, however, have limitations. Transmitting on a separate channel for every connected radio system is an inefficient use of scarce frequency resources. Channels may also be incorrectly or inadvertently linked, causing communication problems.
SDR technology is increasingly finding its way into public safety products. Some of today's radios use SDR technology to support multiple "protocols," which are the operating rules for communication transmissions. Yet the real future promise of SDR technology is to implement radios that operate:
Multifrequency band radios could include software that controls operating parameters, such as frequency, and allows the radio to be reconfigured, as needed, as one of the three main frequency bands used by public safety officials: (1) very high frequency, or VHF; (2) ultra-high frequency, or UHF; or (3) 800 megahertz (MHz). This approach has been implemented in military radios but has yet to be incorporated in radios used by public safety personnel. The intent in the public safety arena is to allow users to eventually communicate with systems operating on frequency bands other than their normal "home" systems—for example, a radio could be developed that includes both an 800-MHz capability used by a city police force and a VHF capability used by sheriffs' departments in the surrounding counties.
Software could also be developed to further support interoperability by enabling the user to communicate with other responders using both voice and data—such as Wi-Fi and commercial cellular capabilities—and to configure the device to the system needed at a particular moment. These abilities would allow, for example, responders who are called to a scene outside of their coverage area to participate fully in the emergency response. (See "Software Defined Radio: Connecting Public Safety Officials.")

reuse policy).
Although the major benefit of SDR technology for public safety is increased interoperability—and how that translates into saving lives—other benefits include potential cost savings over the life of the radio equipment. SDR would allow police departments to easily:
With respect to upgrading an entire communications system, SDR basestations could communicate via old and new devices until all equipment is upgraded, or equipment could be configured as needed during transition periods. Reprogramming transmitted over the air from the basestation to radios would reduce the labor and coordination of physically reprogramming radios.
To help address these issues and advance SDR technology for public safety officials, NIJ has implemented a multifaceted strategy.
In 2002, NIJ began to work with the Software Defined Radio Forum, an international consortium of organizations that promote the development and application of public safety radios. Within the SDR Forum, the Public Safety Special Interest Group—chaired since its creation by an NIJ grantee from the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center–Northeast (NLECTC–NE)—is working on two major initiatives:
NIJ supports IEEE P1900, a committee that is developing standards for advanced radio concepts and cognitive radio technology.
The Institute is also funding two research and development projects at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. In the first project, Charles Bostian, Ph.D., and his colleagues are conducting research on cognitive radio for public safety applications. They have developed a prototype radio that is aware of its environment and can identify available frequencies and communicate on them. In the second project, Steve Ellingson, Ph.D., is developing a low-cost prototype multiband radio that will operate in the most common law enforcement radio bands. The architecture of this radio will become "open source"—that is, available to anyone or any company at no cost.
Finally, NIJ is funding three major projects to evaluate SDR technologies in the field:
SDR technology holds significant promise for addressing critical issues in public safety communications, including interoperability, performance enhancement, and life-cycle cost reduction. More work remains to be done, however, and operational limitations and issues regarding security and standards need to be addressed. As SDR technology evolves, police officers will be able to respond more effectively to emergency situations and save lives.

via press release:
NOTE: Post-9 p.m. results are subject to revision in official nationals due to the 9-9:15 p.m. Presidential address.
NBC is the #1 network among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox Tuesday night for each primetime half-hour in adults 18-49, with "America's Got Talent" clearly #1 for the night on those networks but subject to revision, and "The Million Second Quiz" (1.5 at 8 p.m.) the #2 show on those nets.
At 8 p.m. ET, night two of "The Million Second Quiz" (1.5 rating, 5 share in adults 18-49, 5.8 million viewers overall) won the 8-9 p.m. time period among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and other key measures. "Million Second Quiz" grew from half-hour to half-hour in 18-49 by 7% (to a 1.5 from a 1.4), by 20% in men 18-49 (1.2 vs. 1.0) and by 50% among men 18-34 (0.9 vs. 0.6). "Million Second Quiz" finished within 0.2 of a point or 12% of its premiere rating of the prior night (1.5 vs. 1.7) and within 11% of the premiere result in total viewers (5.811 million vs. 6.516 million).
"Million Second Quiz" scored NBC's best 18-49 and total-viewer results in the time period in 12 weeks, since "America's Got Talent" aired there on June 18.
From 9 p.m. ET to approximately 9:15, NBC News coverage of President Obama's Address on Syria was sustaining and won't be included in nightlong or weekly ratings averages.
From approximately 9:15-11:15 p.m. ET, "NBC aired "America's Got Talent." Currently available fast-affiliate ratings are not time zone-adjusted and are subject to significant revision, but currently "Talent" is averaging a 2.3/6 in 18-49 and 9.1 million viewers overall from 9:30-11 p.m., and "Talent" will clearly be the #1 telecast of the night on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in 18-49 and total viewers.
In the 9:30-11 p.m. time period, "Talent" ranks #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC and Fox in every key ratings measure.

Why the New Seed Might Be a Bad Seed/
About a year ago, I started hearing about the existence of a "pre-seed" round. At first, it sounded ridiculous. Actually, it still sounds ridiculous to me. The term "seed" implies the very beginning to me. If you can't go to "seed" investors for your very first investment because you're too early, that just seems weird to me.
At Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, I want to be part of the first money to go into a company, no matter what you call it. I do the same kind of rounds today that I was doing five years ago. Two of the first deals I ever did at my previous fund were part of an $800k round of investment into Backupify, which recently sold to Datto, and an $850k round into GroupMe, just after they built a prototype at a Hackathon. They're at a similar stage to my investments now out of Brooklyn Bridge backing Tinybop pre-launch, Canary before their Indiegogo pre-sale, and VIXXENN with just an alpha site and a few stylists.
What's interesting is that those earlier rounds wouldn't be called seed rounds today--and many of the investors in those rounds wouldn't have necessarily participated in them now. Fund size has a lot to do with it. The larger your fund, the larger the checks you need to write and so putting $200k to work at a time doesn't make economic sense for many investors. So whereas seed rounds five years ago may have been less than a million dollars on a pre-money valuation of three or four million, today's seed is up and over a million and usually closer to two million, with post money valuations nearing $10 million.
Josh Kopelman wrote recently that these rounds are much more entrepreneur friendly, especially in the wake of the "Series A Crunch". In fact, he wrote a few things that I think there's another way to look at.
"The problem is that the number of A rounds hasn't changed. That amount of Series A capital HAS NOT increased. So, if you have 4x the number of companies with seed funding, that's 4x the players competing for the same money… making it 4x harder to raise an A round than it was five years ago."
Does it make sense to think of the amount of Series A capital as static?
New venture funds get raised all the time--and big ones, too. If there were suddenly a flood of fantastic deals at Series A valuations--the cheapest valuation a big fund is likely to ever get in on, wouldn't VCs be doing them left and right? So what if they put their fund to work earlier than expected? Or maybe they just take some of that reserve capital for follow ons and put it to work now? So what that they can't maintain their 20%? If their entry valuation is that much lower because more dollars are in the Series A, they will still be able to make their return. Do you think you make a better return by putting in a ton of money to buy expensive growth equity and maintain 20% or by being in a future IPO at a $15mm pre?
I think the problem isn't the lack of Series A money--it's that there are 4 times the number of seed funded startups, but not four times the number of great ideas and great teams. If there are four times the number of seed funds, the seed quality bar is much much lower--but what investor wants to say that to entrepreneurs? It's so much easier to blame those stingy Series A guys as to why your startup isn't getting funded. It's not our fault as seed investors and definitely not your fault as the entrepreneur that you didn't execute will on your idea which, honestly, was pretty mediocre to begin with.
I believe that if you build great companies, someone will fund them. The private market is pretty efficient that way--and to look at it otherwise is to reinforce the notion that everyone trying to start something, instead of joining the teams with the best ideas is a good thing for the market.
Yay, participation trophies!
"Why not raise $2.5M in seed money instead of $1.5M to give yourself the best shot at perfecting this data? You should target 18 to 24 months of runway post Series Seed."
Sounds good, right? It's a very compelling notion--only I think it glosses over some of the side effects. First, we're not going from $1.5mm to $2.5mm. We're going from the $500k-750k of yesteryear (four or five years ago) to $2.5mm today. That's a huge jump, not only in terms of how much a founder will attempt to bite off and chew, but also in price. You're ending up at a post-money valuation of $10mm versus $5mm.
Is it the Series A funds that are moving the bar, requiring these bigger rounds, or are they just saying that if you've already spent a few million bucks and the post is $10mm, you should have accomplished more? The more you raise and the higher the price, the more expectations people will have of you--so taking more money isn't without its downside.
Also, no founder who ever raised more money believes the limitation will distract their focus. They're going to do the same thing, but just give it 24 months to take hold. What $2.5mm seed round has lasted a company 24 months lately? It's like cash in your wallet. You just wind up spending it faster--and moving fast with lots of money, especially for a first time founder, is bound to be more mistake-prone and less focused.
If you're worried about the runway, try doing less things. Focus on the one number or one goal that validates your model, instead of hiring a team of 12 to boost 15 key metrics.
The other thing that worries me about this split between seed and pre-seed is that it institutionalizes the thinking that "seed" funds shouldn't be making half million dollar bets on two awesome people and half a barely-working prototype and that that mess is best left to the "pre-seed" folks. We're all worried about the people who had a million or more to spend and didn't do anything amazing with it, but what about the bootstrappers and do a lot with a little types who haven't yet gotten any funding from anyone? If you're too busy making sure everyone who gets funded at all has two million bucks at an $8 pre, are you missing out on the next big thing?
I think we are. I don't think early stage investors are taking enough risk. We need more crazy flyers where someone takes a shot on something unproven, and certainly gets paid for that with a low initial valuation, but rolls up their sleeves to help make it take off.
Otherwise, we should just call this new $2.5mm seed round what it really is: Series A circa 2006. We'll ask for all the same metrics we used to in a Series A--some revenue, a full team, etc., and at least it will all make sense. Then, I can go back to just being a Seed investor instead of figuring out whether it makes more sense to call it "Pre-Seed" or just "Soil".

These shoes: IN LOVE. Don't want to take them off... Ever. I received a comment on my last post wondering if the feedback on Topshop.com was correct in saying that they are easily broken. But I am wearing them to death, and thus far they are perfect. They are sold out online, but I would encourage anyone lucky enough to find them in-store to snatch them up. I thought that a khaki parka jacket would have been the cherry on top with this outfit. Has anyone seen any iCatching ones? Would love any tips? I need one asap. xxx

Business schools prepare future captains of the industry on the one hand, and knowledge creators and teachers, on the other. Research-based programmes such as the PhD aim at preparing the students to understand the world of business and organisations at a more fundamental level; and to generate ideas for the future and impart this body of knowledge. Doctoral students need to reflect on the principles and tools that they were taught, and ask why something works the way it does. Investigating this question methodically and reaching a tentative conclusion constitutes research. In answering these questions, researchers generate new knowledge that ultimately benefits practicing managers in one form or the other. A well-trained PhD not only generates new knowledge but also effectively communicates this knowledge to the students.
Research in a business school is not very different from research carried out in social and physical sciences. The same philosophy of science guides the research enterprise in the business school. Business research is eclectic and draws on a number of disciplines such as psychology, sociology, economics, political science, statistics, mathematics, and computer science. The purpose is to understand the world of business in a holistic fashion and answer the interesting questions without being hemmed in by disciplinary boundaries.
Ideas are tested and validated in small parcels by numerous researchers over the years. This knowledge is eventually integrated and presented in an accessible fashion to the practitioner. Doctoral studies prepare the student to do rigorous research and eventually communicate the results. An aspiring doctoral student must first appreciate this fact and the attendant rigor.
We strongly urge aspiring students to read the faculty working papers on this website. The papers will give you an idea of the research done for doctoral degrees. We also suggest that you refer to some of the research journals listed below. For contrast, a list of the more popular practitioner-oriented journals is given. We want you to have the right expectations. We also encourage you to correspond with our faculty members and discuss research interests.

Sweety's Radio: Edición Especial ft. Emanuel Xavier
July 14, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pmFree
This year marks the 20th anniversary Emanuel Xavier's self-published chapbook Pier Queen, a poetic manifesto about his personal experiences coming of age as a former street hustler, drug dealer/addict, homelessness and survivor of child abuse. To celebrate this LGBTQ Latinx and POC milestone, Rebel Satori Press has reissued the book with brand new cover art featuring a photograph by Richard Renaldi that captures the spirit and defiance of the Christopher Street West Side Highway piers. As part of Sweety's Radio: Edicion Especial we will be honoring the anniversary of this chapbook with an exhibition and reception. On Friday, July 14, Xavier will be joined by percussionist Joyce Jones to recreate the spirit of late 90s poetry readings from the book Pier Queen in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of this landmark collection by a former homeless pier queen who went on to become one of the most significant voices of the LGBT and Latinx poetry movements.
Drawn from Xavier's personal archives as well as artists in conversation with his work, the exhibition spans several bodies of work from throughout Xavier's career; from videos, event flyers, fan notes, memorabilia from that era as well as photographs by Richard Renaldi and artwork by Gabriel Garcia Roman.
