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.

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.
