Traveling For Music: The Best Way To Stay Informed, Yet Entertained

The objective of this project was to explore the different kinds of traditional, modern, and progressive Valencian music. This was done in an educative, informative, yet entertaining way, via a pilot episode. This was executed by filming according to the documentary format. The audience will see venues, local entertainment areas, and have an opportunity to watch the selection of the local talent interviewed. As such, the project will be a pitched series idea for the purpose of educating, informing, and entertaining an audience about a variety of music from around the world, which the average audience member may have never had a chance to see, and enjoy.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-production-technology/1216/thumbnail.jp

Manned Planetary Exploration Capability Using Nuclear Pulse Propulsion

This paper discusses the capability of nuclear pulse propulsion in performing manned missions to Mars and other planets using a single-stage vehicle. Recently declassified descriptive data on a 10-meter-diam nuclear pulse propulsion module design (Saturn V compatible) is summarized and a typical complete exploration vehicle employing the module is described. The specific impulse of the propulsion module is 2,500 sec, its dry weight 200,000 Ib. The mission versatility of this single vehicle design is emphasized. The same propulsion module, and essentially the same overall vehicle design, are shown capable of performing single-stage missions requiring velocity increments ranging from under 40,000 ft/sec to over 114,000 ft/sec. Total payloads ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 Ib are considered. For a minimal Mars landing mission, roughly comparable to those proposed for less-capable, multi-staged propulsion systems, an earth-orbit departure weight of 6^0,000 Ib is indicated. A higher payload and propellant loading of the same vehicle, however, is considered preferable. Performing a complete Mars surface excursion mission in 200 to 250 days is shown as one optional way of exploiting the vehicle\u27s capability. Carrying a considerably larger personnel complement, including scientists as well as astronauts, is another- Consistent with the latter idea\u3e two reference design missions, presented in detail, employ retrothrust to return the vehicle to an elliptical earth orbit, avoiding the typically necessary atmospheric reentry maneuver as the final task of a long mission. A Mars mission capability supported by a single launch, using a Saturn first stage, is also described. In this instance nuclear pulse propulsion is begun suborbitally, starting at an altitude greater than 50 nautical miles. The major system advantages and systems problems are outlined and briefly discussed. Finally, a series of artist\u27s conceptions of the major operational steps is presented

Com mais poder ou assediados? A responsabilidade dos/as diretores/as no contexto do regime de diversidade de provedores escolares na cidade de Nova York

By 2008, New York City’s school governing regime contained two market-creation policies. Each reshaped principal incentives. One closed large high schools, replacing them with four-to-eight small schools. Another replaced uniform district-provided services with eleven School Support Organizations (SSOs). Both aimed to empower principals with new discretion. This interview study of a small, stratified random sample of high school principals uses mixed methods to analyze 241 incidents detailing their reactions. Guiding questions include whether principals experienced the policies as empowering. Findings show that two thirds of the principals felt beleaguered rather than empowered; incentives appeared insufficient to provide them with unambiguous direction and confidence in their own decisions. The study concludes by considering what additional resources might be needed to expand the one third who felt empowered into a majority. Para el año 2008, el régimen gobernando las escuelas de Nueva York  contenía dos políticas creación  de mercados educativos. Cada una reformuló los incentivos para los directores/as de escuelas. Una eliminó las grandes escuelas secundarias, sustituyéndolas con cuatro a ocho escuelas pequeñas. La otra reforma reemplazó  la prestación servicios centralizados  para el distrito escolar unificado por once organizaciones de apoyo escolar (SSO por su sigla en ingles). Ambas normas se proponían otorgar a los/as directores/as con nuevas facultades. Este estudio de entrevistas uso una pequeña muestra, estratificada y aleatoria de los/as directores/as de  escuelas secundarias utilizando métodos mixtos para analizar 241casos, detallando las reacciones de los/as entrevistados. Preguntas de exploración incluyeron  saber si los/as directores/as experimentaron las políticas como factores de empoderamiento. Los resultados muestran que dos tercios de los/as directores/as se sintieron acosados en lugar de con mayor poder; los incentivos fueron  insuficientes para darles una direccionalidad clara y confianza en sus propias decisiones. Este estudio concluye estimando  que recursos adicionales podrían ser necesarios para ampliar el numero de los/as directores/as que  se sintieron con mayor poder para que sea la mayoría.Em 2008, o regime que rege as escolas em Nova York continha duas políticas  de criação de mercados educativos. Cada uma reformulou os incentivos para os diretores/as de escolas. Uma eliminou as grandes escolas secundárias, substituindo-as por quatro a oito  pequenas escolas. A outra substituiu a prestação de serviços para o Distrito Escolar Unificado por onze organizações de apoio escolar (SSO é a sigla em Inglês). Ambas as regras eram destinadas a dar novos poderes para os/as diretores/as. Este estudo de entrevista com uma pequena amostra, aleatória e estratificada de diretores/as de  escolas de Ensino Médio utiliza métodos mistos para analisar 241casos detalhando as reações dos respondentes. As perguntas incluíram interrogar se os/as diretores/as  experimentaram essas políticas como fatores de maior empoderamento. Os resultados mostram que dois terços dos/das diretores/as se sentiram perseguidos em vez de com mais poder; os incentivos foram insuficientes para dar um direcionamento claro e confiança em suas próprias decisões. Este estudo conclui estimando que recursos adicionais poderiam ser necessárias para ampliar o número de  diretores/as  que se sentiram com mais poder para sejam a maioria dos/as directores/as

Water Reuse as Part of San Diego\u27s Water Portfolio

San Diego imports 80 to 90 percent of its water supply, depending on conditions during any particular year. This high level of imports and low diversity of water supply have combined with climate change to generate an urgent need for increased conservation and diversification of San Diego\u27s water supply. Water reuse is one option to mitigate this problem. An attempt was made in the early 1990s to recycle wastewater but the public reacted badly due to a combination of bad public relations, perceived environmental justice issues, and a psychological phenomenon called the yuck factor. With improved public relations and education, the project might go through this year
