The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, 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 are expected to 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.

Sanad’s mother reads to him in Jordan as part of an effort called Drive to Read (DTR). Funded by USAID for three years, the program aimed to foster a love for reading and build a reading culture among the children of Jordan. DTR is a mobile library which takes educational and cultural activities into East Amman and Zarqa neighborhoods, where large concentrations of disadvantaged people live. Each bookmobile – one in East Amman and another one in Zarqa – is equipped with over 2,000 Arabic- and English-language books and acts as a magnet for families in search of interesting and fun activities to do.

if you're hemming and hawing over where to put your wedding money, just remember this picture if you're considering selling the farm for things like wedding programs...
if you're opting not to make your own invitations, one piece of advice i found was to get one fancy set for a keepsake [if you ask, some folks will do the proof in the fancy stuff], then do the rest in a more cost-effective manner. eg. get one letterpressed or engraved invitation and have the rest thermographed or flat printed. the (approximate) 50% savings are staggering and just as nice.
we designed our programs, had them printed up at the local print shop, then gathered a trusty sweatshop to assemble them. i think the total cost of printing and cutting 100 programs in half was around... $8? i checked out a DIY wedding website for ideas on how to do them, and if i remember correctly, they were charging around $2.50 per program--the package included the two pieces of fancy paper with the program info on them and a wood stick to glue in the middle, but you still had to assemble them yourself.
pretty much, no matter how gorgeous the majority of paper goods you cash out on may be, they're going to end up in the recycle bin.

Martha, Direct Relief's Domestic Program Officer, explains oral hygiene to children receiving free dental work at a free clinic visit in Santa Maria CA.
About the Healthy Smiles Program
Since 1994, the Healthy Smiles by Direct Relief has provided free dental treatment to 1,800 low-income, uninsured school-age children with severe need. Sponsored by Healthy Smiles, one-day free clinics are hosted by local dentists and Healthy Start programs throughout Santa Barbara County.
This free-clinic event was hosted by Dr. Samuel Burg and was staffed by volunteer dentists and hygienists who provided dental care and education to over 60 children that day.
Receiving services are low-income, uninsured children identified by their schools as needing professional dental care that they would not have been able to receive without the program.
Additionally, children received Dental Packs – toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss – that were donated by multiple healthcare manufacturers to Direct Relief and packed by volunteers at Direct Relief. For some families, event the cost of a toothbrush is too much and children go without. These donated products ensure that children can continue the good oral hygiene practices they learn during their free clinic visitl.
Each year, Direct Relief distributes approximately 1,000 child dental kits and 3,400 family dental kits (each of which serves a family of five) with donated dental supplies, which Direct Relief then allocates to their local partner agencies. These agencies distribute the dental kits to the low-income children and families whom they already serve

Copy of Ebenezer's 75th Anniversary Program from 1962, naming Dr. Martin Luther King, St. and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as Ministers.
The Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, located at 407 Auburn Avenue, features a long history of civil rights, but is most famous for its association with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was here that Dr. King was baptized in 1936, gave his first sermon in the fall of 1947, and was ordained in February, 1948. He served as co-pastor with his father until he left to Crozer Theological Seminary in September 1948, and as Ebenezer's associate minister during his breaks from Seminary and his doctoral studies at Boston University School of Theology through early 1954. Under Dr. King, Ebenezer was often the site of meetings and rallies, including the organizational meetings that led to the founding of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. He later returned as co-pastor with his father, serving from 1960 until his assassination in 1968. On April 9, 1968, a private funeral service, filled with 1,300 people, was held for Dr. King at Ebenezer, followed by a three-mile procession to his alma mater, Morehouse College, for a public service.
The church was founded in 1886 by its first minister, John Andrew Parker. In 1893 Reverend Adam Daniel (A.D.) Williams, the son of a slave preacher and Dr. King's maternal grandfather, became the church's second pastor. Under Williams, the church grew exponentially and moved twice before the current new church building was constructed from over an extended period of time, from 1914 to 1922, with some finishing touches not complete into the 1930's and 40's. No architect has been identified for the Late Gothic Revival design, although some oral traditions credit Rev. Williams.
In 1933, Reverend Martin Luther King, Sr., took over as Ebenezer's third pastor, a position he'd hold until his retirement in 1975. Alterations designed by Edward C. Miller in 1955-56 introduced the Christian Education Building, connected by an elevated walkway, a redesigned interior, and a baptismal pool. In 1970, Muldawer & Patterson in association with J.W. Robinson designed a new vestibule in front of the education building and made interior alterations. A four-year, 8-million restoration returning the church to its 1960's appearance was completed in 2011.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, an area of about 2 blocks around Auburn Avenue, was established by the National Park Service (NPS) on October 10, 1980. The historic site includes King's gravesite; the historic Fire Station No. 6; the "I Have a Dream" International World Peace Rose Garden; and the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Historic District, an area bound roughly by Irwin, Randolph, Edgewood, and Auburn Avenues, was established in 1974 and later, in 1977 designated a national historic landmark, and expanded in 2001. The district encompasses the environs in which Martin Luther King, Jr., grew up from his birth in 1929 until he left Atlanta.

The 10-point program of the Patriot Party, a white left-wing revolutionary organization aligned with the Black Panther Party, was published in October 1969..
The Patriot Party was initially formed as the Young Patriots Organization in Chicago and later expanded nationwide as the Patriot Party. It was one of the component organizations of Black Panther Fred Hampton’s Rainbow Coalition in Chicago.
They rejected white supremacy but wore a confederate flag patch on their shirts.
They organized in the Washington, D.C. area 1970-71 out of the Panther office and the Panther’s Community Center focusing on far southeast Washington where working class whites still lived and the inner suburbs of Prince George’s County.
The Patriots struggled in the D.C. as Arthur Turco, one of the leaders of the national organization, was indicted in May 1970 for ordering the killing of Baltimore Black Panther suspected of being an informant. The indictment of Turco and a number of Baltimore Panthers consumed much of the effort by Patriot organizers in the Washington area.
The organization was not related to the later right wing organization of the same name.

In 1969, the Soviet Union learned of the United States’ TFX program, what would become the F-15 Eagle. This aircraft threatened to be far beyond anything the Soviets had in their inventory or planned at the time. To counter the F-15, the Sukhoi design bureau was to begin work on a long-range heavy air superiority fighter. The so-called Advanced Frontline Fighter concept was too ambitious, and so the program was split up into two designs: the long-range air superiority fighter, and the short-range battlefield air superiority fighter. Mikoyan-Gurevich, with its experience in designing light point-defense fighters like the MiG-21, was assigned this second fighter, known as the Advanced Lightweight Fighter. The latter was also meant to counter the American light fighters known to be in the design stage, the F-16 Fighting Falcon and YF-17 Cobra. The Mikoyan-Gurevich design was designated MiG-29 in 1974.
Since both it and the Advanced Frontline Fighter (which would become the Su-27) had a common origin, the designs were broadly similar, though the MiG-29 was a good deal smaller than the Sukhoi design. Both would have blended fuselages, leading-edge wing extensions for better manueverability, twin tails, and twin engines for better survivalbility—drawing on the same lessons of the Vietnam and Arab-Israeli Wars as the Americans had. Agility was paramount in the MiG-29’s design, as was simplicity and the ability to operate from forward airfields. Because of the latter, a complicated system of vents and doors over the intakes was devised to keep any foreign objects from being sucked into the engines. The intakes themselves were also variable to control airflow to the engines. Some emphasis was given to all-around visibility from the cockpit, as MiG-21 and MiG-23 pilots had complained of poor vision to the front and rear. Because it was meant to be used very close to the fighting front, range was not an important factor in the MiG-29’s design. Mikoyan-Gurevich meant for it to be a rugged aircraft that could maneuver with anything in the West’s inventory, and largely succeeded—despite not using a fly-by-wire control system.
The biggest drawback to the MiG-29 design was its radar. Because Soviet radar technology was still a generation behind that of the West, the multimode, look-down radar the Soviet V-VS desired was too big to fit in a smaller aircraft like the MiG-29. As a result, the radar from the MiG-23MF was adapted and modified. While the radar could track multiple targets, it could not pick out small targets at range and could only guide one missile at a time. This put the MiG-29 at a severe disadvantage: in hypothetical combat with a F-15, both pilots would detect each other at the same time, but the MiG-29 would be unable to respond until the range closed to visual range. Once at close range, the advantage would switch to the more manueverable MiG-29, which compensated for its lack of long-range firepower by using both a helmet-mounted sight (which allowed pilots to engage targets “off-boresight” of the nose) and an infrared sensor mounted in front of the cockpit. The poor radar, combined with a poorly-designed cockpit, meant that the MiG-29 would not be able to reach its full potential. Nonetheless, it gave Soviet Frontal Aviation a dogfighter that was equal at short range with Western fighters.
The first MiG-29A prototype flew in October 1977; engine trouble which resulted in the loss of two prototypes led to delaying its entry into service until 1984 as the operational MiG-29B. By this time, it had been identified by US reconnaissance satellites as first the “Ram-L” and then as the MiG-29A, though only the prototypes had been given this designation. It was given the reporting name Fulcrum: when the name became known in the Soviet Union after its first public display in Finland in 1986, MiG-29 pilots liked the reporting name so much it was unofficially adopted. The MiG-29 would be extensively exported to Soviet client states; after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, exports were expanded to anyone who could afford MiG-29s.
The MiG-29’s combat experience was mixed: in engagements with F-15s during the First Gulf War in 1991, and F-15s and F-16s in the Bosnia and Kosovo Wars of the late 1990s, it came off second-best. Eleven MiG-29s were lost in air combat during these wars; several others were lost during the Eritrean War of 1999, ironically to Ethiopian Su-27s. It should be said that these losses were less due to any inherent problems with the MiG-29 as it was poor training of pilots and better tactics by American and NATO pilots. 37 nations have operated or continue to operate the Fulcrum: this includes the United States, which purchased a number from Moldova to prevent them from being sold to Iran.
The MiG-29 has been extensively upgraded by its operators, usually adding internal fuel, better avionics, and a much-improved radar. India has adopted the MiG-29K for use on its carriers. Some versions use Western electronics. Russian MiG-29s are being gradually upgraded to MiG-29SMT standard, though poor maintenance and aging engines has grounded the V-VS’ fleet on several occasions, as recently as 2009. Over 1600 MiG-29s have been produced, and it continues in production.
The MiG-29UB was designed as the conversion trainer for the MiG-29 series. To accommodate the second cockpit, the UB has a narrower nose as it lacks a radar. Technically, the UB is combat capable, but would be limited to line-of-sight engagements only. The Flying Heritage Collection obtained this aircraft in 2009; it is a former Ukrainian example sold to a private buyer in 2008 and restored back to flying condition. It lacks national markings, likely because the MiG-29 is still a frontline fighter.

The Canon AE-1 is a 35 mm single-lens reflex film camera for use with interchangeable lenses. It was manufactured by Canon Camera K. K. in Japan from April 1976 to 1984. It uses an electronically controlled, electromagnet horizontal cloth focal plane shutter, with a speed range of 2 to 1/1000 second plus Bulb and flash X-sync of 1/60 second. The camera body is 87 mm tall, 141 mm wide, and 48 mm deep; it weighs 590 g. Most are black with chrome trim, but some are all black.
The Honorable William Wall is the floating clubhouse of Manhattan Yacht Club. It is a 90 ft steel barge with an open-air upper deck. This Clubhouse is anchored in New York harbor just north of Ellis Island. This is the best view in the harbor for watching the sailboat races.
Manhattan Yacht Club opened the upper deck its clubhouse to the public beginning in 2012 (the downstairs Champagne Bar is still private to Members only).
Manhattan Sailing Club was established in 1987. The club re-introduced recreational sailing to the harbor after an absence of more than 60 years.
The club started at South Street Seaport with 12 J/24s on floating docks between the tall ships “Peking” and “Wavertree.”
During its first years of existence, the club experienced an economic roller-coaster. The inaugural year of 1987 brought a large growth in membership only to see the stock market crash in October, taking with it many individual and corporate members. The club rebounded and created and hosted the first International Yacht Club Challenge in 1988. By 1989, the club was again growing strong with the second International Yacht Club Challenge being co-hosted by Yacht Club de Monaco and sponsored by the World Link Club of Osaka, Japan.
But 1989 and 1990 were times of corporate restructuring followed by a recession. By 1991, the club stood at a low of 115 members. But these were committed members who worked to create a better organization, improve the fleet and continue the club programs.
In 1993, the club started expanding by establishing the Manhattan Sailing School in order to offer sailing instruction to new sailors. Until this point, the club had been primarily a racing organization. In 1994, the club moved from the Seaport to North Cove Yacht Harbor. North Cove offered the club a higher quality facility. Then membership began growing. From 115 in 1994, the club grew in the following years to 150, 200, 270 and in 1998, to 320.
In 1997, the club established its first clubhouse, a floating pontoon boat at North Cove called “Mermaid.” In 1999, the club organized a series of International Races on the Sandbaggers, Bull & Bear.
In 2001, the club was substantially impacted by the tragic events of 9/11. During this time, club members rallied and subscribed to clubhouse bonds to lay the keel for our first significant clubhouse, the Honorable William Wall. The years of 2002-2003 were rebuilding in lower Manhattan and at the sailing club. In 2004, our clubhouse in the harbor opened for business.
In 2005, Commodore Michael Fortenbaugh and our Patron Dennis Conner won the management of North Cove marina which was then renamed “Dennis Conner’s North Cove.” In 2006, the club docks were replaced with wider docks which conformed to the graceful curve at North Cove. The number of club boats at North Cove was increased to 24. In 2006, the club acquired “Admiral’s Launch,” improving transportation to and from the harbor clubhouse.
For the club’s 20th anniversary in 2007, a group of visionary members got together to form a 12 Metre Syndicate and purchased “America II” as the new flagship of the club.
By 2009, club membership had grown to 800. Then the financial crisis impacted the club as well as all Lower Manhattan organizations. Membership dropped to 650. Starting in 2010, membership rebounded to 740 and in 2011, grew to 820.
2012 was the club’s Silver Jubilee season. Membership set a new record at 900 people and the club ended the season with the acquisition of “Arabella” which will serve as a new clubhouse at North Cove.
