  • TechTechBoom.com is a new BETA (code word for not fully finished) website and is a subsidiary of Mario Armstrong Media, LLC. (http://www.MarioArmstrong.com) What’s the mission? Simple, it’s a place to help teens to connect, be inspired, supported and motivated to pursue STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Math) academics and careers! We need more young minds wanting to fill our tech pipeline of the future.
  • The vision for this site was Mario Armstrong’s and he wanted it to be a cool and very informative tech hangout for teens but instead of hiring adults to design it (boring and done already) he wanted to flip the model. So his company hired 11 high school students from different grades, backgrounds and tech interests and they created what you see today, that being the first STEM website and community built by teens for teens! The site offers a cool hangout place, solid STEM information and resources all centered around STEM.
  • We want to be the hub of all science, technology, engineering and math content, news, events, scholarships, programs, contests, internships, mentoring and more. If it’s STEM and it involves teens – it will be on this site – no more islands of STEM info.

The (Enormous) Economic Returns to a Good Teacher : Education Next - 15 views

  • It has now become conventional wisdom that teachers are the most important ingredient in an effective school. 
  • A good teacher gets above average achievement out of her students.
  • A teacher at the 85th percentile can, in comparison to an average teacher, raise the present value of each student’s lifetime earnings by over $20,000–implying that such a teacher with a class of 20 students generates over $400,000 in economic benefits, compared to an average teacher, for each year that she gets such achievement gains.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • a teacher at the 15th percentile subtracts $400,000 in value from her class of 20 students.
  • By changing a teacher’s profession into a perilous affair and a rat race, with many pink slips being handed out each year, by sewing distrust among colleagues, by exposing teachers to unfair high-stakes evaluations, Mr. Hanushek turns the teaching profession into a highly unattractive prospect for the intelligent, ambitious students that American education so desperately needs.
  • And that is bad news for *all* US students, not just for the ’5 to 8 percent’ about whom the magical ‘tests’ revelates that they are ‘ineffectively taught’.

    OpenStack is still in a dynamic evolution, but is getting more serious by the day. OpenStack needs to be simplified We heard a lot of comments about the barrier of entry for OpenStack being high because, being open source software, it can be a steep learning curve by nature.

Fare's fair: does UK rail offer value for money? - 1 views

    With many UK rail fares rising well beyond inflation since privatisation in 1993, high customer costs risk damaging rail travel's value proposition as an alternative to the road. Why hasn't private sector competition brought lower fares as some might have expected, and does nationalisation offer the prospect of a clearer and more reasonable fare system?

    Train delays consistently rank high on the list of rail travellers' main bugbears and, according to their own figures, in the UK some 60% of delays can be attributed to Network Rail. Contributing to this unhappy statistic are factors including infrastructure faults, trespass, vandalism and cable theft - but arguably the most significant, and potentially the most costly, is the weather.

    A microscope has been widely used in educational research to provide powerful solutions for precise analysis and documentation. A microscope for educational use must be environmentally friendly; easy to use that provides a consistent long-term performance for biological and medical applications. The microscope with built-in LED illumination offers a more uniform and stable illumination for high quality imaging.

    Supplying power to offshore platforms from land-based plants could have a major impact on the industry's carbon emissions. Norway is the world leader in the laying of subsea cables to power offshore facilities, but a recent disagreement over the electrification of the Utsira High region has sparked a new debate over how and where to make use of this promising technology.

Lookout, your friendly neighbourhood hacker-for-good, has taken a closer look, and at first glance it's good news with the film steering clear of tired old tropes.
