Robert Safian, Barbara Bush, Troy Carter, Neil Blumenthal and Elizabeth Gore speak about “Entrepreneurs in Flux.”
On June 10, 2014 the UN Foundation and the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) co-hosted the Global Accelerator at UN Headquarters in NY. The Global Accelerator is a first-of-its-kind forum for entrepreneurs and UN officials to connect and explore innovative solutions to the global challenges of job creation and youth employment, water and sanitation, and gender equality.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab ), located in Batavia near Chicago, Illinois, is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. As of January 1, 2007, Fermilab is operated by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, a joint venture of the University of Chicago and the Universities Research Association (URA). URA is a consortium of 91 leading research oriented universities primarily in the United States, with members also in Canada, Japan, and Italy. Fermilab is a part of the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.
Fermilab's Tevatron is a landmark particle accelerator; at 6.28 kilometers (4 miles) in circumference, it is the world's second highest energy particle accelerator (LHC is 27 kilometres in circumference). In 1995, both the CDF and D0 (detectors which utilize the Tevatron) experiments announced the discovery of the top quark. In addition to high energy collider physics, Fermilab is also host to a number of smaller fixed target experiments and neutrino experiments, such as MiniBooNE (Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment), SciBooNE (SciBar Booster Neutrino Experiment) and MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search). The MiniBooNE detector is a 40-foot (12-meter) diameter sphere which contains 800 tons of mineral oil lined with 1520 individual phototube detectors. An estimated 1 million neutrino events are recorded each year. SciBooNE is the newest neutrino experiment at Fermilab; it sits in the same neutrino beam as MiniBooNE but has fine-grained tracking capabilities. The MINOS experiment uses Fermilab's NuMI (Neutrinos at the Main Injector) beam, which is an intense beam of neutrinos that travels 735km through the Earth to the Soudan Mine in Minnesota.
In the public realm, Fermilab is host to many cultural events, not only public science lectures and symposia, but classical and contemporary music concerts, folk dancing and arts galleries, when the Homeland Security Advisory System permits. Currently the site is open to all visitors from dawn to dusk who present valid photo identification.
I chose this event because it is funny to see the clunky "technology" they came up with help students become more effective readers. The image of the actual reader accelerator was not for free-use purposes.

The Last Mile
Chris Redlitz and Beverly Parenti co-founded The Last Mile program at San Quentin State Prison. This program teaches fundamental communication skills, business plan development, and prepares its participants for jobs in the technology sector. The program has been a rousing success with plans to expand throughout California and into other states in 2013.
Beverly is the VP of Operations for KickLabs, recognized by Forbes as one of the top 10 technology accelerators in the US. Beverly is committed to an active lifestyle and has a background as a dancer and certified fitness instructor.
Chris is the Managing Partner of Transmedia Capital, a technology investment fund focused on early stage digital media companies. Chris also works with aspiring entrepreneurs through KickLabs, one of the country?s leading technology accelerators, which he cofounded in 2009. For over twenty years, Chris was a distance runner and today he is an avid cyclist and health advocate.

In de aanloop naar de Global Conference on CyberSpace die hij 16 en 17 april organiseert maakte minister Koenders een experttour in Amsterdam rond de drie thema’s van de cyberconferentie: Freedom, Security and Growth. In de Rockstart Accelerator sprak hij hierover met deskundigen.
Global Conference on CyberSpace 2015:
Nederland organiseert 16 en 17 april in het World Forum in Den Haag de Global Conference on CyberSpace 2015 (GCCS2015),een internationale conferentie voor overheden, bedrijfsleven en experts over een open en veilig internet. Tijdens de conferentie kijken de deelnemers samen naar de kansen én bedreigingen van digitalisering voor onze vrijheid, veiligheid en economie. Ook zal een initiatief voor capaciteitsopbouw worden gelanceerd dat landen helpt hun cybercapaciteit te versterken.
Internationale samenwerking is essentieel, want internet kent geen grenzen. Nederland wil in deze aanpak een voorbeeld zijn voor andere landen. Op de agenda tijdens GCCS 2015 staan onder meer de strijd tegen cybercrime, het vergroten van cybersecurity, normen voor verantwoord gedrag van staten in cyberspace, en de bescherming van vrijheden en privacy online.
Het is de vierde conferentie onder deze noemer. Eerdere GCCS-conferenties waren in Londen (2011), Boedapest (2012) en Seoul (2013). GCCS2015 wordt georganiseerd door vier ministeries: Buitenlandse Zaken, Veiligheid & Justitie, Economische Zaken en Defensie, in samenwerking met de gemeente Den Haag. Minister Koenders (Buitenlandse Zaken) is gastheer en voorzitter van de conferentie.

At the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator, researchers develop new ways to accelerate and manipulate electron beams for scientific experiments, medical devices and other purposes. NLCTA generates an incredibly bright electron beam for use in these tests, and advanced concepts developed here are put to work at accelerators around the world.
