It’s natural to be curious about the universe.  Whether we casually peer through our living room window to observe the moon, or camp out in a remote area to view the stars, we have a strong impetus to connect with the world above us. While it can be easy to find a few stars, the study of astronomy and the practice of stargazing can be ever-so complex.  Words like azimuth and occultation seem rather strange, yet they are routinely used in describing stars or solar events.  In addition, the coordinates used to pinpoint celestial objects seem as though they have been written in ancient … [Read more...]

SummitUp, A #Socialmedia Confab

October 8, 2012 by
SummitUp-logo-large-300x178

In the 1920’s, radio broadcasters were looking for more. They knew they had a great way to deliver information into the homes of everyone in the country, but how to get sponsors to buy into it?

Change in Dayton is happening!

April 13, 2011 by
IAmStaying 1

Things in Dayton are looking up. Hiring, although slowly, is on the rise (New jobs, tax revenues show region stabilizing, Dayton Daily News, March 25, 2011). Home ownership is up. Nightlife downtown, particularly in areas like the Oregon District, is lively and vibrant. These small yet noticeable changes are the direct result of the individual and collective efforts of many people who, despite the sluggish economy, believe in the potential of Dayton; those people are working to launch business and social initiatives that revitalize neighborhoods, spur economic growth and keep people in … [Read more...]

YPs at the Base – Serving those who serve

February 23, 2011 by
YACs get together for social opportunities

Serving the YPs who Serve It's the largest single site employer in the whole state.  Its history has been witness to early Wright Brothers test flights and a military installation that dates to World War I.  It's an obvious asset to the region for the Air Force Museum (fingers crossed for the shuttle) as well as cutting-edge technical, aerospace, and research advances. I have sung the praises of the Base and understood its major importance in both the economic viability of our region and for aerospace technology worldwide (you can thank my engineering husband who just broke … [Read more...]
