ILOA Galaxy Forum NY Scarsdale 2014 -- Alan Stern, New HorizonsILOAHawaii
ILOA will again help host the community of Scarsdale High School students, teachers, administrators and alums in the 1960, 1961 and 1962 Classes — at the 4th annual Galaxy Forum SHS.
The program features a science talk by Dr. Alan Stern on the New Horizons mission currently traveling at 14.72 km/s almost 3.9 Billion kilometers from Earth on its way to explore Pluto and its moons. The mission, is expected to arrive July 14, 2015, will help us understand the icy worlds at the edge of our solar system. Scientists hope to find answers to basic questions about the surface properties, geology, interior makeup and atmospheres on these bodies. The mission will then visit one or more Kuiper Belt Objects beyond Pluto.
Galaxy Forums public events with presentations, panel discussions and attendee participation. Efforts are made to integrate local cultures, perspectives, and traditional knowledge. Galaxy Forums have been held in Hawaii, Silicon Valley, Canada, China, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe, Africa, Chile, Brazil, Kansas and New York. Steve Durst organized Galaxy Forum Scarsdale to bring this innovative 21st Century Education to his alma mater.
Steve Durst celebrated his 50th SHS 1961 Class Reunion with the 1st Galaxy Forum at SHS on September 23 2011. The 50th SHS 1962 Reunion starting October 5, 2012, continued the Galaxy Forum SHS program with Jeff Hoffman, 5-time Shuttle Astronaut and SHS 1962 alum, sharing his experience repairing the Hubble Space Telescope. Galaxy Forum SHS 2013 featured Dr. Denton Ebel, Curator / Chair of the Dept of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC speaking on Asteroids in matters of Science, Resources and Security.

Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
2. Pluto Facts Formerly the smallest planet in the
Solar System. In August 2006 the
International Astronomical Union
redefined the term 'planet'. Now Pluto
is classified as a dwarf planet.
Pluto is a small rocky object that lies at
the edge of our solar system. The
planet is so far out, it takes light from
the sun about 5 and a half hours to
reach Pluto in contrast to the 8
minutes it takes to reach Earth.
Its orbit of about 248 years sometimes
takes it inside Neptune’s orbit. Pluto is
so cold that nitrogen and oxygen,
which we breathe so easily on Earth,
become frozen solid.
Pluto is only about two-thirds the size
of our moon and recently was the
biggest known object in the Kuiper Belt
(an asteroid zone).

3. Location
Pluto was the ninth planet in the solar system. The orbit the planet
takes around our Sun is an ellipse. There are times when Pluto is
the furthest away from the Sun.
There are also times when it is closer to the Sun than Neptune. Pluto
is a very long way from the Sun. Its average distance from the Sun is
over 3.5 billion miles.
The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is over 2.7 billion (2,700,000,000)
miles, and the furthest away it gets is over 4.5 billion (4,500,000,000)
miles.

4. How Pluto Got It’s Name?
Pluto was discovered in 1930 by
astronomer Clyde Tom Baugh.
Mr. Tom Baugh spent a long time
taking photographs of the sky where
the unknown planet should be and
finally discovered Pluto in one of the
photographs.
Pluto is the Roman god of darkness
and the underworld. Perhaps Pluto got
its name because it is in darkness.
It may have also gotten its name from
the fact that its symbol "PL" are the
initials of Percival Lowell, who
founded the observatory where Mr.
Tom Baugh worked.

5. Missions to Pluto
New Horizons is a NASA
robotic spacecraft mission
currently on route to the
dwarf planet Pluto.
Expected to be the first
spacecraft to fly by and
study Pluto and its moons,
Charon, Nix, and Hydra.
Flyby date: 7/14/2015
Launched: 01/19/2006

Horizons passing Pluto and

Loss of any of these objectives wind

and Charon
7. Size of Pluto
Pluto is about 2274
kilometres (1410 miles)
in diameter and Charon
1172 kilometres (727
miles) in diameter.

8. What is Pluto composed of?
Pluto was the only planet in our solar
system that we have not explored with
a spacecraft. The current studies tell
us that Pluto is made up of a mixture
of rocks and several kinds of "ices".
Scientists believe that most of the ices
that make up Pluto are frozen
methane and ammonia.

9. The surface of Pluto is
very dark and extremely
cold. Since the planet is so
far away from the Sun, it
gets almost no light or Physical Characteristics
heat.
Scientists believe that the
temperature on the Pluto’s
surface is over 250
degrees Celsius below
zero.
At this low temperature,
almost everything freezes
solid. Scientists here on
Earth have determined that
Pluto does have a very thin
atmosphere, but it is far
too thin to support any kind
of life.

10. Pluto’s Moons
Pluto has 3 moons
Charon
Discovered in 1978
Largest of 3 moons
Half the size of Pluto
No other moon is as large, when
compared to its planet.
Pluto and Charon are so similar
in size that some astronomers
think of them as a double planet.

from Pluto. Hydra are far smaller than
Charon.
