Catching a Wave
RF-based energy harvesting involves capturing ambient radio frequency (RF) energy from sources like cell phones, WiFi networks, and television broadcasts. This energy can then be converted into direct current (DC) power to charge or operate low-power electronic devices without needing batteries. For example, one system harvests RF energy from nearby iPhones using an RF receiver and converts it to power tiny wireless sensor nodes for applications like health monitoring. This technology could eliminate the need for batteries in many small devices.

Contact information is provided for the presenters to learn more.
Arduino vs Raspberry Pi
This document compares the Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards. It notes that Arduinos are microcontrollers that directly execute simple code without an operating system, making them well-suited for interfacing with sensors and devices. Raspberry Pis are full computers that run Linux and have more functionality like independent network connectivity, but with greater overhead. A rule of thumb is to use an Arduino if a project can be described in less than two "and" statements, and to use a Raspberry Pi for more complex projects requiring more than two "and" statements. The boards can also work together, with an Arduino handling sensors and devices and a Raspberry Pi providing processing and connectivity.
Indias contribution to the world
India contributed greatly to many areas including mathematics, science, philosophy, and medicine. Key contributions include developing the number system including zero, inventing algebra and trigonometry, calculating the time taken for earth to orbit the sun, establishing some of the earliest universities and institutions of advanced education like Takshashila and Nalanda, and establishing some of the earliest systems of medicine including Ayurveda. India was also a leader in many areas of science and technology throughout ancient times.

Education was essential for African Americans to define their own culture after emancipation from slavery according to Foner's thesis. Education united former slaves and free black men while also establishing courageous community leaders to aid the progress towards total equal rights. Taking initiative to acquire wisdom through education with the aid of organizations and community despite opposition was central to achieving freedom and unity between North and South. The rapid educational progress of African Americans in the years after the Civil War represented "a century in a year."

The College of Emporia was founded in 1883 in Emporia, Kansas with the help of a donation from Senator Plumb and the work of Reverend Overstreet. Classes began with 30 students in an old bank building. Construction of the first campus building, Stuart Hall, began in 1885. The college struggled with funding in the early 1900s due to lack of support from the Synod. It faced further troubles in 1917 when the president was ousted for his support of teaching evolution. Enrollment increased in the 1960s but then declined rapidly as the school struggled financially and lost support from the community and Synod. The College of Emporia closed in 1973 due to insurmountable debt.

Library Centennial Slideshow Final
The Huntington Beach Public Library has served the community for over 100 years since its founding in 1909. It started as a small library housed in an old office building before receiving funds to build a Carnegie Library in 1913. The library continued to grow and move to larger facilities, including its current main location at the Central Library which opened in 1975 and was expanded in 1994. The library has adapted to serve the evolving needs of the community, such as adding branches and services for families and new residents. It has grown from a small collection in its first building to over 42,000 volumes housed at the Carnegie Library and continues striving to provide education, information, and culture to Huntington Beach.

The Friends of Lincoln Village organization was formed in 2007 to preserve historic sites around Lincoln University, the first historically black college in the US founded in 1854. The organization has been working to get Lincoln University and Lincoln Village designated as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. This would recognize their significance in African American history and education. Goals include hiring a preservation planner, updating the National Register nomination, and stabilizing historic buildings. Over 65 people attended an initial historic tour of the campus organized by the group. The Friends of Lincoln Village will continue working to secure the needed resources to have the historic designation completed.

Sex education in America began in the 1830s with messages discouraging masturbation. The first popular student manual on the topic was created in 1835, and the first classroom instruction occurred in 1892. In the early 1900s, Chicago was the first to offer sex ed in high school, though the Catholic Church opposed it. The 1918 Chamberlain Kahn Act provided funding for educating soldiers about STDs, and schools began integrating sex education in the 1920s. Conflict over sex education increased from the 1960s-1970s over how much information schools should provide, with support for more comprehensive programs growing since the 1980s AIDS pandemic.
