Born in Washington, D.C., Sterling Brown attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and Harvard University. He grew up in a home with an extensive library, which encouraged his love of literature. He began his teaching career at Virginia Seminary College in 1923. He joined the Howard University staff in 1929 and stayed there until his retirement. The publication of his book, Southern Road, in 1932 coincided with the emergence of the Harlem Renaissance. Brown served as the editor on Negro affairs for the Federal Writers Program from 1936 to 1939. He played an important role in the development and assessment of African-American literature through his work as a poet, literary critic, and editor.

The fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon brought in hundreds of students to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative collaborative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
NYC Startups, selected by a student organizing committee, presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, after which students formed groups to work through the night implementing their own ideas for fresh hacks built on top of these APIs.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel featuring members of the NYC startup community, which selected the final winning teams.
Since April 2010, hackNY hosts student hackathons one each semester, as well as the hackNY Fellows program, a structured internship which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment: a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup in NYC.
To find out what you missed at the fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon please do see our eventpage at hackerleague.org and the video of the student demos thanks to ISOC-NY.
Special thanks to our fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon judges! And congratulations to the winners of the fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon!

An inaugural meeting between mentors from four federal government departments in BC and 11 skilled new Canadians marked the start of a ground-breaking mentoring program led by the Immigrant Employment Council of BC (IEC-BC).
Canadian Heritage, along with Passport Canada, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and Western Economic Diversification Canada are all participating in the first program phase.
Over the next four months, immigrant professionals will work with their Canadian peers to learn about local business practices, increase their understanding of the BC workplace culture, access professional networks, and boost their cross-cultural communication and career-search skills.
Venue provided by Department of Canadian Heritage. Orientations facilitated and supported by Chris Mara and Astarte Sands from Mosaic BC, Laurie Sing from ISSofBC, and representatives from S.U.C.C.E.S.S.

Name of Program: Housing reconstruction program after Gorkha Earthquake
Location: Gosaikunda Rural Municipality-4, Rasuwa-Nepal
Building Typology: Load Bearing stone Dry Stone Masonry Building
He has received the first tranche of the government housing grant.The house is a dry stone structure with timber band and light CGI sheet flexible roof.
Dry stone masonry (DSM) walling is a heavily utilised building method within rural Nepal, however, they can
suffer a lack of stability and perform poorly during earthquakes if the walls are not suffi ciently tied together
and anchored to the roof and fl oor. When not connected, each wall vibrates on its own and the walls
perpendicular to the direction of the shaking experience out of plane forces and are at severe risk of collapse.
To prevent this, the building should vibrate as a complete box, with all building elements tied together.
Nepal suffered a massive loss of lives and property on Saturday 25 April 2015, when the devastating magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Nepal. Subsequent aftershocks, including one of magnitude 7.3 near the Chinese border on 12 May, produced additional losses of life and property.
The earthquake triggered avalanches on Mount Everest and in the Langtang valley. Villages were flattened and people were made homeless across 31 districts, with 14 districts suffering the highest impact. Infrastructure was damaged throughout the earthquake zone. Historic neighborhoods and heritage sites were destroyed in the Kathmandu Valley.
As a result of the earthquake, 8,790 people died and more than 22,300 people were injured. Assessments showed that at least 498,852 private houses and 2,656 government buildings were destroyed. Another 256,697 private houses and 3,622 government buildings were partially damaged. In addition, 19,000 classrooms were destroyed and 11,000 damaged.
The earthquake affected manufacturing, production, and trade in agriculture as well as tourism and other areas of the service sector, thereby weakening the national economy. Economic growth fell in 2015 and has picked up slowly 2016. Once fully underway, reconstruction should contribute to economic growth in the coming years.
According to initial estimates arrived at during the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), NPR 669 billion would be required to reconstruct damaged properties and infrastructure and to support recovery in affected sectors of the economy.
The government was providing 300 hundred thousand grant for Private housing reconstruction & 100 hundred thousand grant for retrofitting of the private house damaged by earthquake

COMO PARTE DEL PROGRAMA "AHÓRRATE UNA LUZ", DICONSA DISTRIBUYE FOCOS AHORRADORES EN POBLACIONES DE HASTA 100 MIL HABITANTES
University of Pittsburgh Police Officers recently held a SAFE course for the ALPHA DELTA PI sorority.
So here's how it works:
> Turning the aperture ring raises the "Diaphragm Bar" behind the lens. At f/2.8 it's completely below the lens opening, and at f/22 it's just below the lens centerline.
> When the mirror rises, it drags this panel up with it; the odd shaped hole in the middle is the shutter opening. The mirror/shutter rises just as fast as its spring can whack it, and returns at the same speed as soon as it reaches the top.
> At f/2.8, the shutter is open for the entire distance of travel shown in green above - it takes about 1/60 second to cover this distance. But at f/22, with the DIaphragm Bar up where the purple line indicates, the shutter doesn't open until it reaches that line, and it closes as soon as it passes that line on the way down. The entire movement takes the same time as before, but the open time is only the time that it takes to travel the distance shown by the purple arrows. Assuming that the speed at f/2.8 was 1/60, this works out to about 1/500 second.
> The aperture at f/22 (and at all other settings except for f/2.8) is in the shape of a triangle with its point at the top - the top 2 sides are the edges of the "roof" part of the shutter opening, and the bottom side is provided by the Diaphragm bar.
It's actually just a little more complicated than this. In the above description, the f/22 opening is not centered on the same axis as the f/2.8 opening, and in fact if the Diaphragm Bar actually went as high as the purple line it would block off the center of the lens. So, in addition to all of the above, at the smaller apertures, the mirror/shutter is actually stopping its upward travel earlier than it does at full aperture. How does it do this? In the view of the Diaphragm Bar at www.flickr.com/photos/rick_oleson/53225547915/in/dateposted/, there is a second, gold colored bar that's coupled to the Diaphragm Bar, with a bent-up tab at its tip. As the Diaphragm Bar rises, this gold bar comes down - the tab at the end is the stop that the mirror strikes against to stop its upward travel. The two bars are coupled together so that the mirror's stopping position produces a centered triangular aperture opening at all settings. Dang.
Whoever did this will probably never be famous - but he was good.
