Monitor 1St Quarter 2019 THE ACADEMY MONITOR VOLUME 13 ISSUE 1 1 GREETINGS FROM THE GREAT HALLS OF LEARNING, S STARFLEET ACADEMY!!! T Q U A R IN THIS ISSUE: T Commandant Article 2 E Academy Information 3-5 Around the Academy R Outstanding Students 6 Academic Excellence Awards 7 Graduates 8-13 Academy Degree Program 14&15 2 Bridge Officers Cert Awards 16 0 Vessel Readiness Cert Program 17 Boothby 18-22 1 Miscellaneous 23-34 Editor Comments 35 9 FROM THE ACTING COMMANDANT The first Quarter of 2019 was insanely busy, as Academy continued to recover from the passing of Glen Diebold on September 26, 2018. We also migrated Academy from its separate server into SFI.org, so that the STARFLEET branding could be applied to Academy, and to eliminate the costs of an extra domain and web hosting. We had to close Glen’s unfinished projects that he left behind, and audit and retire those colleges that were not performing at minimum standards. We were not lacking in volunteers to direct those that were left. Survival Studies (COSS), a favorite among many students, was taken over by myself, the author of the first version of the college. The COSS has gone through a major rewrite and reformat. Long exams were divided into 25-point multiple choice or True and False exams. Three of the four schools are reopened, and the fourth will be open soon, with more exams to be added. Wherever an exam was split into 2 or more exams, the existing graduates was copied over with their grades and completion dates. Members will see confirmations for exams dated back to the date the original exam was completed. The Institute of MACO continues to gather closed exams from related colleges, incorporating them into IMACO. Long exams from SpecOps and Military Studies are being processed in the same manner as those of the COSS and added to the IMACO, under the capable hands of Kelli Caplette and TJ Allen. Two poorly-performing Institutes were merged into related Institutes. Academy has over 1,500 students enrolled. Vacancies within the faculty are being replaced by ‘newbies”, who bring new energy and new ideas into the curriculum. We are always looking for dedicated volunteers in both Academics and in Support. Some positions open to newbies are : Director, Asst. Director, Ghost writers for both new exams and conversion of exams into Multiple-choice and True-False, data entry people for the SFI DB and for Moodle, and other duties as assigned. Training is provided for all positions. If you are interested in helping out in Academy, please contact the Academic Coordinator, Jill Rayburn, at [email protected] . We keep a list of interested members, and refer to it when there is a vacancy. 3 ACADEMY INFORMATION SO YOU WANT TO BE A ACADEMY INFORMATION DIRECTOR Further information about the Academy, its staff and facul- ty, courses offered, and scholarships will be found at the Basic requirements are: Be at least 18 years following website: of age and have taken OTS and SAOC.

  • Building a Brand Through Transmedia Audience Engagement Strategies : Ava- Tar’S Transmedia Marketing
    Building a Brand Through Transmedia Audience Engagement Strategies : Ava- tar’s Transmedia Marketing Kira KITSOPANIDOU1 RÉSUMÉ : À partir de l’étude d’un cas concret, Avatar, l’épopée 3D de James Cameron sortie en 2009, cet article propose une réflexion économique autour des stratégies dites « transmédiatiques » dans l’univers des franchises audiovisuelles et cinémato- graphiques. Nous nous attacherons à montrer comment dans le cadre de nouveaux usages et de nouvelles pratiques médiatiques, la mise en place d’expériences ludiques, interactives et immersives se déployant sur des plateformes média multiples est deve- nue partie intégrante de la production et de la promotion de franchises médiatiques. L’analyse de la stratégie de lancement multi-plateforme et interactive d’Avatar mettra en relief la manière dont le film et sa campagne de promotion peuvent être considérés comme faisant partie d’un même ensemble narratif, approfondissant l’histoire, enri- chissant l’« expérience Avatar » et brouillant davantage les frontières de plus en plus poreuses entre contenu culturel et promotion. MOTS-CLÉS : CONVERGENCE, FRANCHISE TRANSMÉDIA, MARKETING TRANSMÉDIA, ÉCONOMIE TRANSMÉDIA, ÉCONOMIE DE L’ATTENTION, MÉDIAS SOCIAUX, ADVERGAMING SUMMARY : This paper explores the economic implications of transmedia brand ex- pansions and entertainment, focusing on the detailed investigation of a case study : James Cameron’s 3D epic movie Avatar. Our intention is to describe how in the shifting technological and economic environment of the contemporary entertainment

  • Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars
    Kaspar von Braun & Tabetha S. Boyajian Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars July 25, 2017 arXiv:1707.07405v1 [astro-ph.EP] 24 Jul 2017 Springer Preface In astronomy or indeed any collaborative environment, it pays to figure out with whom one can work well. From existing projects or simply conversations, research ideas appear, are developed, take shape, sometimes take a detour into some un- expected directions, often need to be refocused, are sometimes divided up and/or distributed among collaborators, and are (hopefully) published. After a number of these cycles repeat, something bigger may be born, all of which one then tries to simultaneously fit into one’s head for what feels like a challenging amount of time. That was certainly the case a long time ago when writing a PhD dissertation. Since then, there have been postdoctoral fellowships and appointments, permanent and adjunct positions, and former, current, and future collaborators. And yet, con- versations spawn research ideas, which take many different turns and may divide up into a multitude of approaches or related or perhaps unrelated subjects. Again, one had better figure out with whom one likes to work. And again, in the process of writing this Brief, one needs create something bigger by focusing the relevant pieces of work into one (hopefully) coherent manuscript. It is an honor, a privi- lege, an amazing experience, and simply a lot of fun to be and have been working with all the people who have had an influence on our work and thereby on this book. To quote the late and great Jim Croce: ”If you dig it, do it.

  • Dear Cheap Astronomy – How Long Until We Won't Be Able to Hear The
    Question 1: Dear Cheap Astronomy – how long until we won’t be able to hear the Voyager spacecraft anymore? Just to clarify the question, the problem won’t be about our hearing them, but about the spacecraft ceasing to transmit once they run out of electrical power. The two close-to- identical Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977, Voyager 2 on the 20th of August and Voyager 1 two weeks later on the 5th of September. The trajectories and orbital mechanics involved in getting to their first mission objective, a fly-by of Jupiter, meant that Voyager 1 would arrive there first, despite it launching second. So, NASA called it Voyager 1 to avoid confusing the newsreaders of the day. Both spacecraft have radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), which work by using the heat from a decaying lump of plutonium isotope 238 to generate electricity. Since we know the half-life of those lumps fairly exactly, we already know that after 2020 there won’t be enough power to continue running all the currently-operational systems and by around 2025 whatever work-arounds we have managed will fail as both spacecraft lose the capacity to collect and transmit data. After that, they will carry on silently with their golden records attached, time capsules from 1997 Earth for any aliens that find them. Although, given the time periods involved, it’s possible that human-crewed spacecraft might overtake them before that ever happens. Voyager 1 will make a first close pass of another star, called Gliese 445 in about 40,000 years. This is surprising since Gliese 445 is over 17 light years from Earth and Voyager 1 needs 17,000 years to cross just one light year.
