The win evens JMU's record at 1-1. The Dukes are back in action Sunday for a neutral-site matchup against UConn (0-2) in Sparks, Md. The game is scheduled to start at 12 p.m.


Public space systems: designing for privacy?
Technological systems for use in public places need to be designed so people can use them efficiently, effectively, safely and with satisfaction. A component factor in satisfaction is perceived privacy. The aim of the study was to explore whether different screen sizes affect users' perceptions of privacy and if partitioning around screens influenced privacy perceptions. Findings provided evidence that slight changes in the physical design of systems can increase users' perceived levels of privacy and therefore satisfaction.This work informed designers in NCR, CfDR and other interested stakeholders that factors such as privacy need to be incorporated into the design process.

College Scorecard Aids Students in School Selection
By Vince Conti
Dec 23, 2019 Updated Dec 26, 2019
COURT HOUSE - When the College Scorecard was first implemented by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) in 2013, it was presented as a way to give a quick and intuitive "snapshot of an institution's cost and value," a tool to aid students and families involved in the complex college selection process.
The early versions of the scorecard were limited in scope and usefulness. The newest version, recently released by DOE, is more robust, intending to provide a more comprehensive picture of potential value for the cost. The scorecard is available at https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/.
Below is a look at the tools available within the college scorecard to help prospective students and families who are considering college options, as well as an illustration of some of the data available on Cape May County's only post-secondary institution, Atlantic Cape Community College.
The Scorecard
The college scorecard offers several ways to explore thousands of post-secondary institutions across the nation. Institutions can be located by name, proximity to one's home address, by state, by selectivity levels, by cost and by successful graduation rates.
Students can mix and match criteria through a custom search option. Once located, schools of interest can be marked for side-by-side comparison.
Students can use the scorecard to explore individual institutions across variables of cost, average student debt levels, fields of study, graduation rates, selectivity and earning power of graduates with specific degrees in specific fields of study.
Initial data shows the basic attributes of the institution in terms of size, public vs. private, rural, urban or in between, and successful graduation rates.
The tool then allows students to drop down into the data to look at first-year retention rates, number of students receiving financial aid, median debt levels of graduates, as well as the likely monthly payments a graduate would have to make against that level of debt.
The student body can be viewed in terms of racial, socio-economic and ethnic diversity, full-time and part-time percentages and undergraduate vs. graduate student numbers.
Students can evaluate the likelihood of their acceptance with a look at selectivity data on average test scores and acceptance rates.
One of the new elements of the scorecard is a chance to see the earning power of specific degrees. The data available includes the median earnings of graduates one year after graduation.
Students perusing the earnings data for Stockton University will find that a bachelor's degree in registered nursing provides median earnings, one year after graduation, of $69,600. A student who chose to graduate with a degree in criminology would be looking at median earnings of $28,600.
The 319 graduates who elected to pursue business administration earn about $38,600, while those in visual and performing arts are shown to be earning about $22,000 after one year.
The ability of the scorecard to present median earnings data is dependent on institutions reporting on student completion programs, and for some institutions, that data is incomplete; however, as more students and families use the scorecard, the incentive for institutions to refine their data should grow.
Going beyond the comparison data, the scorecard website also offers links that let students explore alternatives to college. Users of the website can also explore apprenticeship opportunities by location.
One link allows the user to begin to explore career options and occupations based on skills, interest and education. This career search is also informed by federal labor statistics, which indicate the future outlook for specific career paths.
Atlantic Cape and State Community Colleges
New Jersey has 19 public community colleges across its 21 counties. They range in size from just under 13,000 students at Bergen Community College, to the much smaller 896-student body at Salem Community College.
Atlantic Cape is among the smallest of the state's community colleges. The scorecard lists it at 5,191 undergraduate students, placing it 15th in size among the 19 institutions.
Community colleges can be starting points or end points in an individual's education plan. For some, the community college is an inexpensive route to a four-year degree, an opportunity to gain those first two years of credit at a reduced price, perhaps near home to reduce costs even more.
For others, community college can be a place to acquire career credentials, often sought by individuals already in the workplace facing hurdles to advancement.
Typically, the community college, often with an open admission policy, will enroll students who range widely in their preparation for college level work and who may be burdened with work and family responsibilities.
A look at community college statistics will show lower graduation rates than typical four-year institutions. The same is true for comparisons across a variety of input and output measures. Even so, the scorecard allows students to compare New Jersey's community colleges to each other.
The accompanying table shows some scorecard data for New Jersey's 19 public community colleges. The table lists colleges in order of reported enrollment. Some definitions will make the table easier to understand.
Full-time is the percentage of the student body attending as full-time students.
First-year retention is the percentage of students who returned to enroll in the second year after entry.
The graduation rate is the percentage of students who graduated within eight years after first enrolling.
In this table, median salary is limited to earnings by graduates who elected the liberal arts or general studies concentration. The earnings are after one year from graduation.
With the scorecard, interested students can see earnings data that corresponds to many other fields of study at other schools. For example, graduates with nursing degrees from Union Community College show median earnings of $69,000 after one year. However, for Atlantic Cape, only earnings data for the general studies graduates is reported. So, to make comparisons more meaningful, tabulated data reflects only median salaries for this area of study at these colleges.
Compared to the median, Atlantic Cape has a lower enrollment, lower ratio of full-time students, lower percentage for first-year retention, lower eight-year graduation rate, lower median salary, but a higher average annual cost.
Among liberal arts and general studies graduates, Atlantic Cape graduates report the lowest median salary. Restricting the salary data to this area of study might be expected to influence the apparent college performance. General studies graduates, if they do not continue to a four-year school (23% of graduates transfer at Atlantic Cape), may enter the workforce without specific skills.
A better comparison would be to see how graduates from the nursing or business programs do in comparison to other community colleges, but that data was not reported for Atlantic Cape.
Here, we merely compare New Jersey's community colleges with Cape May County's only branch campus. Comparisons are most meaningful in the context of a specific student's interests and circumstances.
All comparisons will become more useful as the scorecard continues to evolve, and as the quantity and quality of institutions' self-reported data improves.
Already, the scorecard has earned a place in the network of information available to help prospective students and families make college decisions.

Hey guys hopefully its a easy one.
what oil u guys recomend and use in your LSD (clutch type) Diffs?
I usually buy any good brand oil for clutch type LSD's...avoiding the "thrifty" brands.
yeah ive got LSX90 in it now.
ive been hearing about the need of adding this additive in it for the old mech type diffs. but bit sceptical.
I know you need an engine oil with Zinc Alkyl Dithiophosphate for the correct lubrication of the valve train in the older style engines (ie our L24/26/28 ie tapped based - there have been many threads on this topic on hybridz and classiczcars in the past) - so I use Penrite HPR range and organic as most of the synthetics don't have Zinc/Phosphate in them - however some of the Penrite semi-synthetics do.
So I would recommend a Penrite LSD oil too - why they have good info on about their products on their website and we have been happy with the HPR range in our L6 engines.
thanks nzeder. As for engine oil i use nissan special blend 7.5/30W as i got an RB oil replacements are every 3500km.
in my SR20det ive tried lot of oils but found that motul 8100 was best one for it.
but since the car is not driven hard and detuned closer to stock its gone back to nissan special blend due to costing of the motul.i change it more regularly. motul i changed every 5000km but the nissan stuff every 3500.
most times i use catrol stuff what nissan recomends and go for the next level.
penrite ive used previously on other cars but dont seem to be sold on it. tend to return to castrol or motul.
nissan recomended lsx80 or 90 for the diff. so i got the 90 for more heavy duty applications. but recently noticing the open wheeling and got me puzzled.
most guys i know that run mech diffs recomend using this additive and they never had any problems. still trying to find out what that additive it is.
Good call - I will update the post above and state for the older tappet setup not the modern shim/buckets as they don't need the Zinc/Phosphate additive.
i guess my excuse is ... too busy and damn LOW profile tyres tyres are shagged anyway so didnt bother checking the rears. .... got it booked for two new ones at the back so should pay more attention to it.
Sounds like me, just changed my oil and i could have sold the crap that came out as black paint! its a duty of care we have..

US stock futures remain modestly lower after jobless claims
Published Thu, Mar 20 20148:37 AM EDT Updated Thu, Mar 20 20148:40 AM EDT
U.S. stock-index futures indicated a second day of losses after jobless claims edged higher last week and investors looked to data on sales of previously-owned homes.
Stock futures retained their declines after data had the government's count of Americans filing for unemployment benefits rising by 5,000 to 320,000 last week. The four-week moving average fell by 3,500 to 327,000.
Still weighing on the market, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's suggestion on Wednesday that the Fed could start raising its target rate about six months after quantitative easing ends.
In its policy statement Wednesday, the Fed said the benchmark federal-funds rate will remain near zero for a "considerable time" after its asset-purchase program ends. When asked when rates would start to rise, Yellen said, "This is the kind of term it's hard to define but probably means something on the order of around six months, or that type of thing."
(Read more: Has Yellen just unleashed the dollar bulls?)
The central bank decided to cut its monthly asset bond purchase program by another $10 billion to $55 billion per month.
Kit Juckes, global head of foreign exchange strategy at Societe Generale, said in a morning note that more FOMC members now expect higher rates in 2015, with an average expectation of 2016 coming to a close with interest rates close to 2.5 percent.
"Three points seem relevant. Firstly, with more members expecting rates to be at 1 percent by the end of 2015, there is an increased possibility that the first hike comes a bit earlier (in Q2?)," he wrote. "Secondly, there is recognition that the Fed will need to move briskly once they start, which is reflected in a wide range of expectations for 2016 but a higher average. And thirdly, there is no change, yet, to the expected final destination of policy."
Following Yellen's statement, U.S. stocks closed lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average slumping 114.02 points to end at 16,222.17, initially tumbling nearly 200 points after Yellen's comments.
Europe responded on Thursday with the Euro Stoxx 600 Index lower along with all major European bourses. Shares on both sides of the Atlantic had witnessed two days of gains at the start of the week, with investors focused on developments in Crimea, which seemed to show an easing of tensions between Russia and the West. Now however, investors' eyes are firmly fixed on the Fed.

Q: Symfony2 Routing: Method Not Allowed (Allow: {Method}) so in routing.yml I have the following routes defined in order to edit and delete specific settings:
routing.yml:
settings.editDefaults:
    path:      settings/{id}/defaults/edit/{widgetType}
    defaults:  { _controller: AppBundle:Settings:editDefaults }
    methods:  [POST, PUT]

settings.deleteDefaults:
    path:      settings/{id}/defaults/delete/{widgetType}
    defaults:  { _controller: AppBundle:Settings:deleteDefaults }
    methods: [DELETE]

And in my controller I have the correct actions defined:
SettingController.php:
/**
 * edit the default settings of a hotel/widget
 */
public function editDefaultsAction(Request $request)
{
   //Edit logic
}

/**
 * delete a default setting of a hotel/widget
 */
public function deleteDefaultsAction($hotelId, $widgetType)
{
  //Delete logic
}

In the second action I only need the id and widgetType passed so I can query for and remove the selected record.
When I go to either of the routes I get the following:
Edit Route Error:

No route found for "GET
  /settings/2b2acd55-0dd6-11e5-8107-621ae3320fd4/defaults/edit/default":
  Method Not Allowed (Allow: POST, PUT)

Delete Route Error:

No route found for "GET
  /settings/2b2acd55-0dd6-11e5-8107-621ae3320fd4/defaults/delete/default":
  Method Not Allowed (Allow: DELETE)

But when I remove one and leave the other they work fine. I'm assuming it's the path definitions that are similar? Is it possible for me to keep the same paths and not get this error? What am I not understanding?
Thanks for your help, Anth

A: Did you generate actions using CRUD?
I found an solution to address this problem.
/**
 * Deletes a Preisliste entity.
 *
 */
public function deleteAction(Request $request, $id)
{
    /*$form = $this->createDeleteForm($id);
    $form->handleRequest($request);

    if ($form->isValid()) {
        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
        $entity = $em->getRepository('MandantBundle:Preisliste')->find($id);

        if (!$entity) {
            throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find Preisliste entity.');
        }

        $em->remove($entity);
        $em->flush();
    }

    return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('preisliste'));*/

    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $entity = $em->getRepository('MandantBundle:Preisliste')->find($id);

    if (!$entity) {
        throw $this->createNotFoundException('Unable to find Preisliste entity.');
    }

    $em->remove($entity);
    $em->flush();

    return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('preisliste'));
}

The commented code is from CRUD and doesn't work. I get the same error (No route found for "GET ... ) I don't know why Symfony tries to use a form to delete. Only removes entity is the correct way for me.

A: Instead of this in your view :
<a href="{{ path('settings_delete', { 'id': settings.id }) }}">
    Delete
</a>

use a form :
{{ form_start(delete_form) }}
    <button type="submit">Delete</button>
{{ form_end(delete_form) }}

same for edit form

A: You only allow POST, PUT and DELETE methods, but you are accessing those routes via GET method.
so define your routes like this:
settings.editDefaults:
    path:      settings/{id}/defaults/edit/{widgetType}
    defaults:  { _controller: AppBundle:Settings:editDefaults }

settings.deleteDefaults:
    path:      settings/{id}/defaults/delete/{widgetType}
    defaults:  { _controller: AppBundle:Settings:deleteDefaults }

Or leave the DELETE, PUT and POST methods in, if you really need those restrictions and add GET method.
When you are accessing a URL with your browser, you are usually sending a your request via GET method. You can read more about these:
Here
And here

A: For anyone else in coming across this issue not solved by the other answers check to see if you've accidentally named another method the same thing. If that happens one of them is ignored.
One way to sanity check this is by doing
php bin/console debug:router

And validating your routes make sense.

9 Breathtaking Destinations in Central Asia (PHOTOS)
By Simone M. Scully
From turquoise-colored lakes to ancient walled cities, the "Five Stans" of Central Asia are home to some breathtaking sites that deserve a spot on traveler's bucket lists.
Spanning 1.5 million square miles, the "Five Stans" include Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzebekistan, Kyrgystan and Kazakstan and are home to nearly 68 million people. According to Mother Nature Network, the suffix "stan" means "land of" in Farsi, and each of these country's names referenced the tribes that historically lived in those lands, including the Kazakhs, Uzbeks and Turkmens. All of these countries share a common legacy of nomadic heritages tied to the famous Silk Road that spans across them.
(MORE: 15 Walled Cities of the World)
So from Registan Square to the dramatic Charyn Canyon, here are nine destinations that are not to be missed:
1. Iskanderkul, Tajikistan
Located at 7,201 feet above sea level in the Fann Mountains of Tajikistan, Iskanderkul is a beautiful turquoise-hued alpine lake. It was named in honor of Alexander the Great, reports Mother Nature Network, with Iskandar being Farsi for Alexander. There is almost no aquatic life in the lake because of the high concentration of minerals in the water.
2. Itchan Kala, Uzbekistan
With a history spanning over 2000 years, Itchan Kala, the inner town of the Khiva oasis, is located on the Amu Darya River in Uzbekistan and was once the last resting place for caravans before crossing the desert into Persia. Today, this walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the best-preserved examples of Muslim architecture in Central Asia.
3. Lake Kaindy, Kazakhstan
Located in the Tien Shan mountains of Kazakhstan, Lake Kaindy is a sparkling turquoise lake featuring an eerie sunken forest. An enormous limestone landslide, triggered by the 1911 Kebin earthquake, blocked the gorge and formed a natural dam, which filled with rainwater and created the lake. Today, the water in Lake Kaindy is reportedly so cold that the foliage remains on the sunken trees, even after 100 years.
4. Burana Tower, Kyrgyzstan
The Burana Tower in Kyrgyzstan's Chuy Valley is one of the country's most important landmarks. Set against a stunning mountain backdrop, the site was completed in the 11th century and includes not only the tower, but also a number of graves, castle ruins and mausoleums. The minaret has been damaged by several earthquakes over its history, so it is much shorter than it used to be.
5. Pamir Highway, Tajikistan
Beginning in Afghanistan and ending in Kyrgyzstan, the Pamir Highway is a scenic, remote historical road that traverses the Pamir Mountains of Tajikisitan. It was once an important link along the ancient Silk Road, but today, travelers making the journey have the chance to see yaks or even a rare herd of Marco Polo sheep along the way.
6. Door to Hell, Turkmenistan
Located in the natural gas field of Derweze in Turkmenistan, the Door to Hell is a natural gas fire in a 230 feet-wide pit that has been continuously burning since it was lit by Soviet petrochemical scientists in 1971. The fire has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years, attracting roughly 12,000 – 15,000 visitors a year.
7. Charyn Canyon, Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan's colorful Charyn Canyon is a beautiful canyon that spans over 50 miles and is located in the Charyn National Park, near the Chinese Border. The canyon is known for its "Valley of Castles," where a series of breathtaking rock formations can be found along the 330 feet deep valley.
8. Registan Square, Uzbekistan
Located in the heart of the ancient city of Samarkand, Registan Square is a spectacular example of medieval architecture built in the late 14th century. Located in a city that was on the silk road, the Registan was a public square and the buildings surrounding it were constructed by craftsmen and builders from across the empire, reports The Guardian.
9. Greater Kyz Kala, Turkmenistan
Located along the famous Silk Road, Greater Kyz Kala is an intriguing fortress-like structure in the ancient oasis city of Merv. There are also a number of other well-preserved archeological ruins in this city, all believed to have been built in the eighth and ninth centuries. Merv is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City is also home to a fleet of nine aircraft: four MH-60 helicopters and five HC-130J airplanes. This air base is a strategic regional resource, and includes an Aviation Technical Training Center and an Aircraft Repair and Supply Center. No matter the position, all Coast Guard jobs contribute to the ultimate goals of the organization.
Researching the initial Coast Guard requirements for enlistment is one of the first steps prospective candidates can take towards a potentially long and rewarding career.
Joining the Ranks in North Carolina
Coast Guard jobs in North Carolina are available through enlistment, a process that begins by talking to a recruiter in major cities like Raleigh or Charlotte, or in smaller rural areas. There are two primary levels of enlistment, at the basic operations-level, which includes supporting positions for aviation, ordinance, and engineering as well as officer-level positions, which start at the rank of ensign.
Coast Guard job requirements for basic enlistment include being between the ages of 17-27 and not having a significant criminal record. Once accepted, new recruits will need to complete eight weeks of basic training before being assigned to a unit for additional instruction.
Officer training for Coast Guard careers begins with 17 weeks at Officer Candidate School. However to first be eligible for officer positions a bachelor degree is required. This can be in any field, for example the current Commander of Air Station Elizabeth City has a Bachelor or Science in Forest Biology plus an MBA. Officers can clarify a career preference, and will ultimately be assigned to an occupation that matches their expertise, such as some of the following examples:
Pilots may have a degree in Science and Aviation
Engineering Officers can come from a background in Civil or Marine Engineering
Medical Officers usually have a degree in the medical sciences
Command Staff may hold degrees in the fields of Business and Management
Coast Guard Legal Experts often hold a Law Degree
Intelligence Officers can possess a degree in the STEM fields: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
Vital Missions in North Carolina
Response to immediate dangers, both to the environment and citizens of North Carolina, is one important service the Coast Guard provides to the state, in addition to proactive education. Recent operations include:
Every year the Coast Guard based in North Carolina conducts around 1,200 rescue operations, including long-range missions made possible by fixed-wing HC-130J aircraft. Recently the Coast Guard dispatched a rescue helicopter from Air Station Elizabeth City and a rescue boat from Station Fort Macon in response to a sailboat 32 miles south of Cape Lookout that was rapidly taking on water. All five occupants were rescued after a nearly four-hour ordeal.
On Oak Island the Coast Guard recently hosted its annual Safety Day, aimed at educating the public on emergency precautions and procedures while also highlighting partnerships across the state with regional emergency response agencies. Each year an emphasis is placed on the importance of wearing a life jacket.
Coast Guard Strike Force personnel recently teamed up with specialists from the Environmental Protection Agency to take samples and clean up the former Ore Knob mine. During this operation the Coast Guard monitored pH and air quality while also providing assistance with health and safety.

2. WHAT IS AN INTERACTIVE DOCUMENTARY?An interactive documentary consists of the film maker having a role in the documentary and shows the engagement between film maker and the subject. The documentary acknowledges the presence of the camera and the crew. The interviewees are being filmed responding to questions asked of them and they can then make their personal case. There is synchronous sound recording due to the question and answer dialogue by the interviewees; the interviewees may be edited to look foolish or deluded by their personal interpretation of events, which creates the interactive documentary to be untrustworthy in some cases. This interaction means that the focus is on the exchange of information rather than the creation of an objective view. The audience may read interactive documentaries as being more honest because there is no attempt to hide the camera and crew.
3. CONVENTIONS OF AN INTERACTIVE DOCUMENTARY Long take interviews dominate but tend to be informal, 'on the run' questioning. Location shooting- Handheld camera. Use of archive material- stills, news footage, newspaper headlines, letters etc. Synchronous direct sound recording. Voiceover, usually by the documentary-maker. Documentary maker is visible to the audience, they intervene and participate in the action.
4. DOCUMENTARY DIRECTOR Elaine McMillion 'Hollow' is an interactive documentary that merges cinematic techniques with web-based storytelling to encourage a dialogue about the issues that small-town America faces.

Record year for Mind Challenge trivia competition
The Mind Challenge for the New Majority, a trivia competition for active seniors, began its Knockout and Smart 16 rounds this week. (Submitted)
By Marah Morrison | mmorrison@news-herald.com | The News-Herald
The Mind Challenge for the New Majority, a trivia competition for active seniors, began its Knockout and Smart 16 rounds this week.
According to Mind Challenge co-founders Art Greenberg and Phil Levine, a record 51 cities are participating in this year's tournament ranging from Fairport Harbor in the east, to Sheffield Lake and Sheffield Village in the west and now Medina and Stow in the south. A total of 90 teams and 520 participants will vie for the top prize of $2,500 with the second-, third- and fourth-place teams winning $1,500, $1,000 and $500 respectively.
Lana Oriani of Get Lucky Trivia is once again conducting the tournament and Cleveland radio personality Larry Morrow will give the keynote address prior to the final round on June 15 at the Solon Senior Center.
"This record number of teams, cities and participants is overwhelming and a tribute to the senior population of Northeast Ohio," the co-founders said. "Their enthusiasm and energy when involved with the Mind Challenge is a joy to watch. The Mind Challenge is a fun and free activity where seniors use their minds, engage and enhance their socialization. Our fourth year is a record year."
In 2021, Broadview Heights defeated Willoughby Hills to win the Mind Challenge tournament. Both the Fact Finding Four and Championship events took place at the Solon Senior Center. To reach the final game, Broadview Heights defeated Avon Lake in their Fact Finding Four match, while Willoughby Hills was victorious over Twinsburg.
Willoughby Hills readying for Mind Challenge trivia competition
When Greenberg and Levine co-founded Mind Challenge, they started out with 16 teams. In the second year, they had 34. Due to the pandemic, Mind Challenge ultimately finished via Facebook Live.
The pair say they will continue to embrace any and all senior centers that want to participate in Mind Challenge.
"Collaboration is the goal," Levine said. "Seniors have a lot of fun, camaraderie and a good time with it. The senior centers are the lifeblood. They embrace (seniors), and (seniors) look forward to going there to participate in activities. We'll embrace and help them."

Q: Numpy Vectorization And Speedup I found was a small code snippet that used to be a double for loop and I managed to bring it to a single for loop with vectorization. Having dones this resulted in a drastic time improvement so I was wondering if it is possible to get rid of the second for loop here via vectorization as well and if it would improve the performance.
import numpy as np
from timeit import default_timer as timer
nlin, npix = 478, 480
bb = np.random.rand(nlin,npix)
slope = -8
fac = 4
offset= 0
barray = np.zeros([2,2259]);

timex = timer()
for y in range(nlin):
    for x in range(npix):
        ling=(np.ceil((x-y/slope)*fac)+1-offset).astype(np.int);
        barray[0,ling] +=1;
        barray[1,ling] +=bb[y,x];
newVar = np.copy(barray)
print(timer() - timex)

So the ling can be taken out of the loops by creating the following matrix
lingMat = (np.ceil((np.vstack(npixrange)-nlinrange/slope)*fac)+1-offset).astype(np.int);

which satisfies lingMat[x,y] = "ling in the for loop at x and y". And this gives a first step of the vectorization.

A: In terms of vectorization, you could potentially use something based on np.add.at:
def yaco_addat(bb,slope,fac,offset):
    barray = np.zeros((2,2259),dtype=np.float64)
    nlin_range = np.arange(nlin)
    npix_range = np.arange(npix)
    ling_mat = (np.ceil((npix_range-nlin_range[:,None]/slope)*fac)+1-offset).astype(np.int)
    np.add.at(barray[0,:],ling_mat,1)
    np.add.at(barray[1,:],ling_mat,bb)
    return barray

However, I would suggest you to optimize this directly with numba, using @jit decorator with option nopython=True, which gives you:
import numpy as np
from numba import jit

nlin, npix = 478, 480
bb = np.random.rand(nlin,npix)
slope = -8
fac = 4
offset= 0

def yaco_plain(bb,slope,fac,offset):
    barray = np.zeros((2,2259),dtype=np.float64)
    for y in range(nlin):
        for x in range(npix):
            ling=(np.ceil((x-y/slope)*fac)+1-offset).astype(np.int)
            barray[0,ling] += 1
            barray[1,ling] += bb[y,x]
    return barray

@jit(nopython=True)
def yaco_numba(bb,slope,fac,offset):
    barray = np.zeros((2,2259),dtype=np.float64)
    for y in range(nlin):
        for x in range(npix):
            ling = int((np.ceil((x-y/slope)*fac)+1-offset))
            barray[0,ling] += 1
            barray[1,ling] += bb[y,x]
    return barray

Let's check the outputs
np.allclose(yaco_plain(bb,slope,fac,offset),yaco_addat(bb,slope,fac,offset))
>>> True
np.allclose(yaco_plain(bb,slope,fac,offset),yaco_jit(bb,slope,fac,offset))
>>> True

and now time these
%timeit yaco_plain(bb,slope,fac,offset)
>>> 648 ms ± 4.14 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

%timeit yaco_addat(bb,slope,fac,offset)
>>> 27.2 ms ± 92.3 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

%timeit yaco_jit(bb,slope,fac,offset)
>>> 505 µs ± 995 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

resulting in an optimized function that is way quicker than the initial 2 loops version and 53x faster than the np.add.at one. Hope this helps.

The Curtiss Zeus Electric Motorcycle – 190 HP – 0-60 MPH In 2.1 Seconds
Ben Branch April 4, 2019
Reading time: about 4 minutes.
The Curtiss Zeus is a new electric motorcycle from the company formerly known as Confederate Motorcycles. It has a 0-62 mph time of 2.1 seconds, a 140 kW motor (190 bhp), 145 ft lbs of torque, and a range of 280 miles.
Curtiss Motorcycles
Confederate changed their name to Curtiss in 2017 and announced a pivot from producing gasoline V-twin motorcycles to producing high-end electric motorcycles in partnership with Zero – an already established electric motorcycle marque.
The name Curtiss will be immediately familiar to anyone with an interest in motorcycle and/or aviation history. Glenn Curtiss was an early motorcycle pioneer, he developed the first American V-twin engine for one of the motorcycles that bore his name, and in 1907 he set a world record of 136.36 mph riding a 269 cu. in. (4.4 litre) V8 motorcycle of his own design on a beach in Florida.
The newspapers dubbed him "the fastest man in the world" and he would remain such until the record was broken in 1911, that said, the motorcycle land speed record would stand until 1930 – an astonishing 23 years later.
Glenn Curtiss would later get into aviation, designing a series of early aviation engines and complete aircraft. Curtiss become a test pilot, he won air races, won prizes for high altitude flight, and he piloted the first pre-announced public flight of a heavier-than-air flying machine in America.
Curtiss Motorcycles Returns
The new Curtiss Motorcycles is based in Birmingham, Alabama. It's run by H. Matthew Chambers who is both CEO and the Chairman of the Board, Chambers is a 30 year veteran of the luxury automotive and motorcycle industry.
The new electric motorcycles produced by Curtiss will be amongst the fastest electric motorcycles in the world (if not the fastest outright) if the current specification sheet matches the production bike.
The Curtiss Zeus is being offered in two primary versions, the Zeus Cafe Racer, and the Zeus Bobber. Both have an MSRP of $60,000 USD and a 10% deposit of $6,000 USD is required to place an order.
The motorcycle you see here is the Zeus concept prototype that was named "Most Innovative Motorcycle" at the prestigious 2018 Quail Motorcycle Gathering, it's a test-bed for the future production motorcycles and the DNA link between them is immediately clear.
Curtiss Zeus – Specifications
The construction of both the prototype and the production versions of the Zeus use a machined modular 6061-T6 aluminum monocoque with a carbon fibre fuselage and a clamshell vault battery housing.
The front suspension is of a girder type, it's fully adjustable for high and low speed compression and rebound damping. The rear suspension utilizes a machined 6061-T6 aluminum swingarm with a centreline cantilever monoshock that's fully adjustable for high and low speed compression and rebound damping.
The battery and electric motor specifications aren't yet publicly available, however it's probable that the Zeus uses a custom-built lithium-ion battery pack and a three-phase, brushless electric motor that directly drives the rear sprocket via a chain final drive. Electric motors produce 100% of their torque from 0 rpm, a significant advantage over internal combustion engines, so many electric vehicles (though not all) do away with the gearbox all together.
Given the 140 kW (190 bhp equivalent) and 145 ft lbs of torque being produced by the motor and the size of that rear sprocket, the 0-60 mph time of 2.1 seconds isn't surprising at all. In fact it's likely the only thing stopping it from being quicker is the limitations on grip faced by the rear tire.
Keeping all this power under control is a pair of 230mm Beringer 4D floating cast iron disc brakes with four piston, radially mounted 4D calipers on the front, with a single 240mm cross-drilled stainless steel disc in the rear with a radially mounted Beringer Aerotec caliper.
Tires are Pirelli Diablo Rosso II front and back, with a 120/70 ZR 17 unit on a solid carbon wheel up front and a 240/45 ZR 17 unit on a matching carbon wheel in the rear.
The total weight of the bike is 475 lbs and there's obviously no difference in weight based on fluids, as electric motorcycles don't require coolant, oil, or gasoline.
Production is due to begin in early 2020, less than a year from now, and the order books are currently open. If you'd like to visit Curtiss and order yours you can click here.
If you'd like to see the Zeus prototype in person you can visit the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA as part of the Electric Revolution exhibit from April the 6th, curated by Paul d'Orleans.

Q: Member Attribute undefined in Member Methods of Javascript Object I'm trying to use Object-Oriented Javascript, following the model shown in the MDN Tutorial here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Introduction_to_Object-Oriented_JavaScript#Prototype-based_programming
So I have my constructor:
// Constructor
var Transmitters = function() {

    this.tdb = new Array();
    this.arrNearbyList = new Array('asfd');

};

Then I try to access it in a member method:
// Load into the member attribute
Transmitters.prototype.parseTransmitters = function(transmitterData) {

    this.tdb = transmitterData;

    this.arrNearbyList.push("test");

};

I get TypeError: this.arrNearbyList is undefined. If I try to access this.tdb from another member method it's also undefined, so it's only local in scope to the parseTransmitters method.
I'm pretty sure I followed the way it's shown in the MDN article, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.


Ponchos were around last winter but this winter it looks like they will be even more on trend. A poncho is an outerwear garment that provides warmth and protection from the elements. It keeps you really snug and warm and fits over the chunkiest of jumpers for a fashionable take on a classic look. Ponchos have come in and out of fashion over the decades with the sixties and seventies have their own versions. It is perhaps because of this retro revival that we are seeing so many ponchos on the catwalk for winter 2010 but it also fits in well with the whole winter sport or arctic trend. In appearance, the poncho resembles a rectangle-shaped blanket with an opening for the head. They hang loosely from the body and come on and off very easily. Ponchos have no sleeves, but do have a hood to cover your head. These ponchos are worn throughout the world and are integrated into many cultures and fashions. A poncho is the perfect cover up for a cold day.
Over the course of fashion history, many modifications have been made to the original poncho design. The shape of a poncho can range from the traditional rectangle or square to round, diamond or zigzag. Some ponchos cinch at the waist with a belt or drawstring, giving them a more shapely look. Many ponchos now have two pockets at the side or one large pocket in the front. Once used for only practical purposes, contemporary ponchos make bold fashion statements. Whether people choose silky, sheer, or embroidered ethnic style, the ponchos can be adapted for all sizes and all occasions. For women, your fashion poncho can be thrown over a pair of jeans, casual look, or dress it up with a glittery brooch over your favorite little black dress for night time style. The hot fashion trend straight from the catwalk was the shabby-chic boho-style fashion poncho, ornamented with embroidery, beads and sparkles. Or the casually elegant cashmere poncho, perfect with your favorite jeans. Ponchos also come short and long this season. Also featured were longer, asymmetrical fashion ponchos in a rainbow-bright display of colors and patterns.
Ponchos are often worn as a light spring or fall jacket. They go on and come off just as easy as a jacket and can be just as comfortable. Most ponchos do not have armholes, and this can get in the way if you are trying to do chores around the house, but nevertheless they are still great to have in the every-day closet. Ponchos are excellent to wear in the winter time when the weather is cold. They are perfect for cuddling underneath while reading a book, crocheting, enjoying a hot cup of tea, while sitting in front of the computer, or when just lounging around the house. Ponchos can be sewn, knit, or crocheted. There are many patterns available for anyone to easily make their own. Lastly, you can keep the poncho on and wear the dress on its own during a different occasion – you'll get twice the wardrobe without the effort.

Adnoviv awarded $150K from the National Science Foundation to Develop Occupancy Sensor with Johnson Controls
Battery-operated next-generation occupancy detection system meets challenges of space utilization and energy conservation.
Honolulu, HI, November 19, 2019 – Adnoviv, Inc. has been awarded an additional $150K from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a battery-operated version of their TruePODS™ product, a low-cost sensor capable of real human presence detection and occupant monitoring. Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) is partnering with Adnoviv to develop the requirements for the battery-operated sensor, which will be easy to install, without requiring access to power-line drawings or power outlets. The NSF funding is a Technology Enhancement for Commercial Partnership (TECP) supplement to Adnoviv's existing Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II grant of $750K.
Occupancy detection systems are used in smart buildings to improve energy efficiency by cycling lights, proactively adjusting ventilation and temperature, and providing data for energy management systems. Adnoviv is combining wireless communication circuitry with advanced algorithms developed by researchers at the University of Hawaii's Department of Electrical Engineering, to make True Presence Occupancy Detection Sensors (TruePODS), a system that uses Doppler radar to recognize motion from breathing and heartbeat. TruePODS can sense the presence and number of individuals, even if they are very still, and without raising privacy concerns. Through using multiple sensor technologies, low-power circuit design, and advanced algorithms, Adnoviv will develop the TruePODS-LP, a battery-operated sensor with a multiple-year battery life.
"NSF is proud to support the technology of the future by thinking beyond incremental developments and funding the most creative, impactful ideas across all markets and areas of science and engineering," said Andrea Belz, Division Director of the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships at NSF. "With the support of our research funds, any deep technology startup or small business can guide basic science into meaningful solutions that address tremendous needs."
"An accurate occupancy detection system like TruePODS will deliver the occupancy information required by smart buildings to greatly reduce energy consumption," says Dr. Amy Droitcour, Adnoviv's Chief Technology Officer. "This battery-operated version of TruePODS will make it easy and inexpensive to retrofit buildings currently outfitted with passive infrared occupancy sensors. When those are replaced with accurate TruePODS systems, they can realize considerable energy savings."


All-things-fun will be scheduled throughout the event including music, speakers, workshops, interactive art installations, theme camps, dancing, fire arts and more. Our structured entertainment schedule for the festival it is augmented through your participation! The unique talents and energy that we all bring to the event that makes it an extraordinary experience.
Our programming team is working hard to ensure that the event is streamlined and conducive to distinct areas for quiet and play. This is one of the benefits of Summer Fest in comparison to many regional "burner type" events where renegade sound systems are the norm. We will position sound and create line-ups that help keep the vibe tight and timed appropriately.

Facebook Adds New Slideshow Option to Facebook Stories to Boost Usage
In it's latest attempt to get more people using Facebook Stories, Facebook has introduced a new Stories option, which will enable users to add a still image slideshow to their Story.
Spotted by social media expert Matt Navarra, the new option, as you can see, provides a simplified way to add a stream of images, which will play out through your Story frames. Of course, you can do this already, by selecting each image one by one for each frame, but the option will make it easier to action, which could prompt more people to try it out.
That could be particularly relevant among older users and/or those less familiar with the Stories format, both of which are key audience groups that Facebook 's keen to get onto the Stories train. But it also again raises the question, with Facebook pushing yet another Stories option as it seeks to boost engagement:
Is Facebook Stories really going to supersede the News Feed as the primary social sharing option on The Social Network?
That is what Facebook keeps saying - early last year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg noted that:
"We expect Stories are on track to overtake posts in Feed as the most common way that people share across all social apps."
The data does support the Stories shift, growth momentum which Facebook says will see Stories overtake feed sharing this year.
But then again, the broader numbers haven't necessarily suggested that Facebook Stories, specifically, is the definitive way to go, even if usage is rising.
Back in April, Facebook reported that its combined Facebook and Messenger Stories features (formerly known as 'Messenger Day') now see more than 500 million daily users. That's obviously a significant amount, but at Facebook's scale, serving 1.59b daily active users overall, that's still only a third of all the platform's users - and even less when you combine Facebook and Messenger usage.
What's more, Facebook has been using some questionable growth hacks to boost those figures. Now, whenever you post anything on Facebook or Instagram, there's a prompt urging you to also share to your Story across both platforms, which no doubt many people have done unconsciously or without realizing what it actually means. How many times have you seen a post from a friend or relative in the main feed, then tapped on their Story to see the exact same thing repeated?
Facebook also pumps out a lot of notifications, some of which will prompt you to view a Facebook Story on desktop which you may have already checked on mobile, or vice versa, another common engagement trick.
Given this, it's difficult to say what the actual engagement rate with Facebook Stories is. It's clearly seeing more use, and you would expect that to increase as more younger audiences come on board. But how popular Facebook Stories actually are, it's hard to say.
That doesn't mean there's no opportunity there for marketers and/or brands. Facebook Stories take up prime real estate, at the top of feeds, which can help grab attention - if you're looking for a way to boost your Facebook engagement, Stories should definitely be on your radar for experimentation. But how popular Stories are, overall, its difficult to measure.
They are seeing more use, but the growth momentum does seem to be a little questionable, based on these notes.

Violent Hippie by Tacticalories Seasoning Company provides a gnarly wall of flavor with a sweet start from fresh roasted coconut followed up with radical heat from Naga Jolokia (Ghost Pepper) and Habanero chiles. The aggressive 15 out of 10 heat rating will leave you tripping out while your tongue sizzles!
BE CAREFUL, LESS IS MORE. WE DON'T RECOMMEND THIS AS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY SAUCE, AS THE COMBINATION OF GHOST AND HABANERO PEPPERS CAN BE MUCH TOO INTENSE FOR MOST PEOPLE. REMEMBER, IT'S NOT AS HOT AS WE CAN GO... IT'S AS HOT AS WE WANT TO GO.
Anywhere you need some true HEAT!


Dogs currently are required by law to wear a collar and ID tag.
From April 2016 all dogs must also be microchipped, this law includes the microchipping of puppies before they go to new owners.
Microchipping DOES NOT mean that you do not need an ID tag, microchipping is a law additional to the wearing of a collar and ID tag.
Also if you purchase a puppy from 2016 it needs to be microchipped by the breeder before you buy it, and you then need to have that chip information transferred into your ownership details.
The 1992 Control of Dogs Order stated that dogs in public places must wear a collar and ID tag.
This means that your dog can have a collar with your details engraved on it or that it wears an ID tag from the collar.
There are some exceptions from wearing a collar for working dogs.
There is no legal requirement to have a phone number - however I advise you do have a mobile number on the details as this can help quickly reunite your dog if it becomes lost.
Personally I prefer not to put my dogs name on the ID as this can aid thieves if your dog is stolen.
I do recommend that you have the words 'I am Chipped' or 'I am Microchipped' added to the ID.
Your choice of tag is a personal one, but whatever design you choose please ensure you have the right details according to the law (as above).
There is a fine of up to £5,000 if your dog does not have an ID tag and the fine is the same if the ID does not include the information as stated above.
As a side note - please ensure anyone who supplies you with a pet ID tag does put on the correct information, alot of these people including my local Pets At Home!!! do not know the law - relying on them could cost you £5,000 if they do not add in the correct information.
Yes. Under the regulations, your dog is microchipped when you implant the dog with a chip and register your details on an approved database such as Petlog. If you do not get your dog microchipped or your details registered on an approved database, then it will be considered as not complying with the regulations and a notice may be served. If the keeper does not microchip their dogs within 21 days of the served notice, then you will be liable to pay a fine of £500.
Yes – same as above, however, if the keeper does NOT get their details up to date within 21 days of the served notice, then you will be liable to pay a fine of £500.

You're gonna need a bigger boat? UMaine has printer for that
ORONO, Maine (AP) — The world's largest 3D printer and the largest object ever printed have been unveiled at the University of Maine.
The university showed off a 25-foot, 5,000-pound boat Thursday that researchers think is just the beginning of the type of product that companies can bring to the market faster with 3D printing.
The boat was printed at the university's Advanced Structures & Composite Center. The school and Oak Ridge Laboratory in Tennessee are collaborating on the project, which aims to help businesses innovate with larger, faster prototypes.
The university says Guinness World Records confirmed it's the world's largest 3D-printed boat, the largest 3D-printed object and largest prototype polymer 3D printer.

Q: Google Charts Timeline - Move Date/Year to the Top of the Chart? Here is a sample of a Google Superbowl Timeline:
https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/datesandtimes#dates-and-times-using-the-date-string-representation
Is there a way to move the Date/Year to the top of the Timeline Chart?
Alternatively, are there any other Timeline Charts that would provide additional customization?

A: I haven't find any Google option, but I did this with SVG transformation
https://jsfiddle.net/d1x5hyes/1/
function afterDraw() {
    var g = document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0].getElementsByTagName("g")[1];
    document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0].parentNode.style.top = '40px';
    document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0].style.overflow = 'visible';
    var height = Number(g.getElementsByTagName("text")[0].getAttribute('y')) + 15;
    g.setAttribute('transform','translate(0,-'+height+')');
    g = null;
}

A: Building on @shoggs answer, here is how to move the labels to the top on a Google Gantt chart, while preserving the formatting of the rows.
let labels = document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0].getElementsByTagName("g")[1].getElementsByTagName("text")
document.getElementsByTagName("svg")[0].style.overflow = 'visible'
for (var i=0; i < labels.length; i++) {
    labels[i].setAttribute("y", -15)

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails reboots his contemporary in Beverly Crest
By Neal J. LeiteregStaff Writer
May 16, 2017 8:40 AM PT
Nine Inch Nails founder, producer and film composer Trent Reznor has put his home in the Beverly Crest area up for sale at $5.75 million, a $1.255 million uptick in price from when it was last for sale two years ago.
Tucked behind gates and tropical landscaping, the polished contemporary-style home contains about 4,320 square feet of living space and and sits on more than half an acre.
High ceilings and and sleek lines create a voluminous feel inside the home, which has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Retracting French doors open the kitchen area to an outdoor living/dining area, and an illuminated stone wall provides ambiance on the master suite patio. An offbeat curving staircase connects both floors.
Outdoors, an infinity-edge pool, lawns and an outdoor fireplace make up the grounds. Views take in the downtown city lights and surrounding canyon area.
Reznor, 51, founded the industrial rock band in 1988 and serves as singer, songwriter, producer, instrumentalist and only official member. Last year the group released the EP "Not the Actual Events," which Reznor recorded with Atticus Ross, his film score work partner.
He bought the property in 2007 for about $4.2 million.
Drew Fenton of Hilton & Hyland and Barbara Boyle of Sotheby's International Realty are the co-listing agents.

Creating a Capable, Diverse Talent Pipeline
2020 GlobalMindED Conference
Sheraton Denver Downtown
GlobalMindED is a 501(c)(3) innovation network that closes the equity gap through education, entrepreneurship, employment and economic mobility to create a capable, diverse talent pipeline.
Apprenticeships are key to economic mobility, but most of the European and UK-based models work with more homogeneous populations and can be challenging to replicate in the U.S. based on our diverse population of students. Other models from around the world such as New Zealand's thirteenth year, Australia's Apprenticeship Pathways, models from Asia and others referred to as internships in South America offer insights serving the needs of diverse talent on the learning and business side.
Ethan Karp, CEO of MAGNET, The Manufacturing Advocacy & Growth Network, leads the way in opening doors for low-income and diverse students in the U.S. by providing experience and professional opportunities to acquire skills for gainful employment and career success through a powerful apprenticeship and internship network. Ethan is a trained scientist in physics, chemistry and biology. After spending years solving complex business problems at McKinsey, he now uses his technical and business expertise at MAGNET, the state of the art center for manufacturing innovation in Northeast Ohio, which can be an effective model for other states. We are honored to feature Ethan as one of the nominees in the non-profit category for the 2019 GlobalMindED Inclusive Leader Award. Read more about his outcomes that are aligned with our mission of creating a capable, diverse talent pipeline.
Robots with vision systems that can literally "read" and arrange tiles into words. Microscopes that create three-dimensional images. A virtual reality trainer that allows you to practice your welding on top of a skyscraper. An augmented reality experience that displays a moving car engine right in front of you, then responds to your approach by opening up to display its internal parts in motion.
No, this isn't science fiction, the latest James Bond film, or some top-secret government lab. This is the office of MAGNET: The Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network, headquartered in Cleveland and serving the 18 counties of Northeast Ohio. This 34-year-old nonprofit not only uses this equipment to help small- and medium-sized manufacturers grow through hands-on engineering support and technical assistance, but we have literally converted MAGNET from a drab office building to a "Manufacturing Technology Experience." Our goal is simple and clear: we want to inspire youth and adults to understand careers in manufacturing, and to consider the rewarding futures available to them through these lucrative, rewarding, and highly-sought after jobs.
I'm Ethan Karp, and for the past four years I've been CEO of MAGNET. In that time, we've made great strides to break the stereotype of manufacturing as the 3 D's: dark, dirty, and dangerous. Instead, we have used the latest technologies to convince people of all backgrounds that modern manufacturing is the 4 C's: cool, creative, challenging, and commendable.
Look around you. Everything you can touch and feel, all that stuff, was manufactured by someone, somewhere. Our job at MAGNET is to ensure that Northeast Ohio is not only making more stuff, but we're making the high-value stuff that we all rely on; it's that stuff - not just your car and cellphone, but your clothing, chair, and table - that pay living wages and provide for a clear, upward career path. There are people who like to sit behind desks and write articles like this one, and then there are people who like to construct the desks, chairs, and computers that make articles like this possible. Both career paths must be valued and respected and, more and more, the "makers" are earning high wages without the need for four-year college degrees.
When I came to MAGNET six years ago, one of the realizations I had was that the manufacturing workforce of tomorrow is not the same as the workforce of yesterday. We have to diversify our workforce - including more women, people of color, the formerly incarcerated, people with disabilities, and more - if we want to attract our next generation of workers.
But don't take my word for it; the statistics bear this out. According to recent statistics, just 25 percent of Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) students will receive a two- or four-year college degree within six years of graduating high school. Cuyahoga County in general has 21,000 "opportunity youth," young people ages 16-24 who are neither employed nor in school; in other words, 1 in 7 young people lack productive direction, which is 40 percent more than the US average.
At the same time, Cuyahoga County has 2,000 open positions in advanced manufacturing, with an average salary of $55,000 annually. The only way to bridge this gap, to connect young people (particularly those from Cleveland's inner city) to potential careers in manufacturing, is to revitalize manufacturing apprenticeships. In partnership with our Board Chair, Felix Brueck, and many local philanthropic funders including the Cleveland Foundation, we at MAGNET have taken the best parts of the European apprenticeship model and adapted them to Northeast Ohio's educational system.
We call our youth manufacturing apprenticeship program the Early College, Early Career program (ECEC), because we connect 11th graders to take college-level manufacturing classes and connect 12th graders to paid internships during the school day. As one of the most cutting-edge workforce development programs in the country, our ECEC program is a groundbreaking partnership with the local community colleges, employers, and high schools to offer clear, rewarding career pathways for students to explore their futures and maximize their potential. Through a combination of paid internships, soft skill development, mentoring, and college classes, ECEC forms a holistic career pathway that is changing how students see their futures. We know that these middle-class jobs, available immediately after high school graduation, will break the cycle of poverty amongst poor families and set students up for long-term success. ECEC students will have higher employment rates, better starting salaries, and more successful long-term careers. In many cases, these students will be the first in their families to go to college, ending the cycle of poverty.
In short, ECEC has 4 essential objectives:
Raise awareness about manufacturing careers, especially amongst inner-city youth
Develop successful pathways for students that combine education and work into a long-term, lucrative career
Produce more skilled workers for our region's workforce
Reinforce and grow connections between manufacturing businesses and the Cleveland community
And to reach those objectives, ECEC offers 3 essential inclusive activities:
Work-based learning: ECEC facilitates a two-year paid internship, along with travel to and from that position.
Education and Training: Using College Credit Plus, ECEC students can earn up to 15 college credits. They also earn an industry-recognized credential that they can take to any future employer.
Support: ECEC offers mentoring, professional development, financial education, soft skills training, and other individualized student support, so ECEC graduates not only get a job but are well-prepared for their careers.
Built into ECEC from the start was a commitment to racial, gender, and socioeconomic equity. ECEC is bringing valuable educational experiences predominately to inner-city, low-income youth: 51% of Cohort 1 was African-American, and 68% of Cohort 2 is African-American. Overall, minority students make up 90% of Cohort 2. MAGNET has also improved its outreach to female students, increasing participation from 18% in Cohort 1 to 31% in Cohort 2.
A second critical guiding principle of ECEC is long-term scalability and sustainability, where employers see the business value of ECEC interns and provide the majority of the necessary funding. Cohort 1 just graduated in May, and we have some good initial data: of the 27 seniors that graduated, 21 will be attending college; that matriculation rate of 78 percent is far higher than Cleveland's current average of 45 percent. In addition, 11 have accepted part-or full-time employment at their current companies, and will leverage their employer's tuition reimbursement program to pay for their education. In total, all 27 students have started down a clear college and/or career path. For Cohort 2, with 43 students currently, we anticipate even better results based on improvements we have made to the program that have resulted in lower attrition and higher engagement. So while the first cohort gave us some initial data, the second cohort will have a much higher success rate - and a higher return-on-investment for employers. Determining that ROI is critical to making that vision of an employer-funded youth apprenticeship program a reality. Making this calculation accurately will only be possible in the Spring of 2020 with the graduation of Cohort 2.
To summarize, the robots, high-tech gear, and immersive technologies you will experience at our downtown Cleveland headquarters are just the beginning for MAGNET as we work to revitalize STEM education to fuel our region's manufacturing renaissance. Outside this office, we are focused on building ECEC to drive racial equity, improve education, and create more middle-class employment in Northeast Ohio. Every day, by driving manufacturing forward, we are ensuring more prosperity for local communities, and creating more paths to success for young people entering the workforce.
We appreciate working with GlobalMindED to bring our best practices to the national and global stage. It is an honor to be recognized among the outstanding inclusive leaders and finalists, highlighting our equity outcomes at MAGNET, as well as our ambitions and commitments ahead.
