What Makes Army and Navy Academy Different from Other Schools?

CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — What follows are a few of the several points of difference between the Army and Navy Academy, a college preparatory boarding school for middle- and high-school age boys located in Carlsbad, Calif., and other schools.

CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — What follows are a few of the several points of difference between the Army and Navy Academy, a college preparatory boarding school for middle- and high-school age boys located in Carlsbad, Calif., and other schools.

The Army and Navy Academy is an all-boys school. 
The Army and Navy Academy long ago knew intuitively that boys learn differently from girls. They need teachers who specialize in teaching boys. Also, boys need special learning environments where they can thrive as they develop academically, mentally, physically, and emotionally. 

The Academy’s core commitment to boys’ success goes much deeper than simply offering single-gender programs. The Academy believes that «greatness lies in every boy.» To help its Cadets believe in themselves, they recently introduced a three-part tagline that directly speaks to the Academy’s 7th– through 12th-grade Cadets, telling them to «Be Bold.» «Be Brilliant.» «Be You.»

The Academy offers a robust academic curriculum.
In addition to offering University of California A-G courses that meet that university’s rigorous admission requirements as well as several Advanced Placement (AP) courses, the Academy maintains a 11-to-1 classroom student-to-teacher ratio – far below what most other schools have. In most years, 100 percent of graduating Cadets had been accepted by colleges or universities.

The Academy’s University of California-approved and STEM-based «Warrior Aviation Course» is an elective for 9th– through 12th-grade Cadets interested in earning college credits to major in aviation or aeronautics later in a college or university.

The Academy provides full range of assistance to support the whole boy.
Cadets have after-hours access to teachers for individual help as well as tutorials and other help beyond the classroom and into the early evening during Cadets’ mandatory study hours. Teachers, counselors, coaches, and administrators work as a team to provide a level of assistance to support the Cadet’s whole well-being.           

As a military boarding school, the Academy builds leadership and character.
The Academy boarding school’s environment instills into Cadets the principles of leadership and good character that go hand with academics while providing a 24/7 setting in which Cadets who live, study, and play together build life-long relationships. The military theme and structure help develop essential life skills such as responsibility, accountability, discipline, self-confidence, and self-discipline.

9 Quiet Materials Science Start-Ups Ready to Change Metal Additive Manufacturing, Reveals IDTechEx

BOSTON, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The metal additive manufacturing market will be negatively impacted by the 2020 pandemic. Despite this short-to-mid-term setback, the industry is forecast to rise and exceed $10Bn within the next 10-years. The emerging and established printer players grab nearly all of the headlines, but most of this forecast annual revenue will be in material sales in which there is great untapped potential.

BOSTON, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The metal additive manufacturing market will be negatively impacted by the 2020 pandemic. Despite this short-to-mid-term setback, the industry is forecast to rise and exceed $10Bn within the next 10-years. The emerging and established printer players grab nearly all of the headlines, but most of this forecast annual revenue will be in material sales in which there is great untapped potential.

IDTechEx Logo

In the latest market report from IDTechEx, «Metal Additive Manufacturing 2020-2030«, the industry forecast to shrink and then rise to over $10Bn with most of that annual revenue in material sales. This technical market report includes granular forecasts and over 50 company profiles from promising start-ups through to market leaders, material players, and more. This was completed with an extensive number of primary interviews to bring the reader the latest and most accurate information.

The materials portfolio for AM processes was predominantly based on the modification of existing materials and supply chains. Metal powders are the most common form of feedstock used with titanium, steels, aluminum, nickel-based, cobalt-based, copper, precious metals, and more all employed. Titanium is the most significant and there is significant movement in this industry, with expansions (such as Sandvik, Oerlikon, and Tekna), vertical integration within key verticals (such as GE Additive and Carpenter), and joint ventures (such as GKN with TLS Technik). There is also extensive interest from existing metal powder players who see this sector as both an opportunity and a threat. However, atomization processes are not facile, particularly for the likes of titanium, and as often low yielding the economics behind it can be challenging which keeps appropriate material expensive. Not to mention that the purity, size distribution, and shape all need important considerations. There is a key trend in using other metal feedstocks, with wire being the most notable; this will be discussed in a subsequent article.

Common criticisms of the metal portfolio for additive manufacturing is that they are expensive, typically modified from existing materials, and do not leverage the full potential of the processes. The current players have been rapidly changing that but there is also the potential for disruption. This article will highlight 9 start-ups that are looking to make an impact in this sector. They are at various degrees of technology readiness and have differing approaches. Despite the long-term market potential, success is anything but guaranteed, you only must look at the turbulence of Metalysis (not included on the list as a result) to see that. There are ubiquitous challenges in the timing, offering, and business model to be competitive and well-positioned to achieve a share of this market.

For more forecasts and detailed material information see the IDTechEx market report, «Metal Additive Manufacturing 2020-2030«.

New Processes

There are new approaches in powder production. 6K (previously Amastan Technology) use a microwave plasma system with a very high yield for Inconel and titanium alloy production, and Equispheres use a novel approach to generate highly spherical powders with a narrow particle size distribution. Both these companies have raised considerable funding over recent years as they begin to ramp up towards notable commercial production. Uniformity Labs has developed an approach to make denser particles, and like with Equispheres’ highly spherical consistent powders, this can allow for much higher throughputs in the printer process.

Recycled Feedstocks

A major driver in aerospace for additively manufacturing titanium parts is to reduce the buy-to-fly ratio. This is for the cost of the virgin material and the handling and re-use of the scrap. One target is to turn scrap titanium into usable AM powder and upcycled titanium parts. Tekna and 6K, previously mentioned, are both progressing this field, with 6K acquiring AL Solutions for this. Another start-up active here is MolyWorks with exciting work in their development of a mobile foundry.

Aluminum, Steels, Copper, and MMCs

As discussed, titanium is one of the most notable material feedstocks for additive manufacturing, but engineers would like a wider range particularly with lower-cost aluminum and steel alloys that they have a large background in. Equispheres, mentioned earlier, are initially targeting aluminum alloys seeing this gap in the market. Elementum 3D has a proprietary Reactive Additive Manufacturing (RAM) process whereby in-situ reaction products overcome traditional challenges with grain structures and more. Elementum 3D has received funding and are scaling their portfolio which include 6000 and 7000 series aluminum as well as metal matrix composite (MMC) offerings. MMCs have been known for a long time but have only extended to specific niche roles, AM could expand this and early-stage MMC players, the likes of Gamma Alloys, are starting to focus on this option.

When we look at low cost mid to high-volume products, steel is the dominant material; steel is already offered for most processes and a front runner in bound metal and metal binder jetting processes showing the significance. Formetrix spun-out from NanoSteel in 2018 and are targeting their proprietary tool steels for AM processes. Finally, copper is material that could take this technology in innumerable directions. There are multiple challenges but with an increasing number of emerging offerings, it is just a matter of time before this takes off.

Materials Informatics

Materials Informatics is the data-centric approach for materials science R&D, enabled by improved data infrastructures and machine learning approaches. IDTechEx has a detailed report on the topic: «Materials Informatics 2020-2030«. One target market are additive manufacturing alloys, QuesTek Innovations, Intellegens, Exponential Technologies, and Citrine Informatics have all been active in this field, with the latter working with HRL Laboratories to produce an AM aluminum alloy registered by the Aluminium Association. As well as offering platforms and research projects many also use these advanced R&D approaches to build IP portfolios. OxMet Technologies carry this out for multiple alloys, particularly high-temperature nickel-superalloys, and Phaseshift Technologies target amorphous alloys using the fast cooling rate of the printing process.

Exotic Materials

As mentioned at the end of the last section, amorphous alloys and MMCs are gaining prominence with additive manufacturing in a way that was previously not possible. Heraeus are at the forefront of work with amorphous alloys in AM making a wide variety of demonstration parts. This progression to beyond conventional alloys is of significant potential to the additive manufacturing industry and is best highlighted in High Entropy Alloys (HEAs); HEAs have been an R&D interest for a long period but AM could hold the key to unlocking their potential. QuesTek Innovations and Metalysis have both been active in this field, but of note was 6K work in claiming to print the world’s first part at the end of 2019.

This article shows the range of activity taking place in the materials portfolio for metal additive manufacturing. For detailed profiles on many of the companies mentioned in this article and many more, please see the IDTechEx report «Metal Additive Manufacturing 2020-2030«. This report gives targeted analysis into this industry, providing the latest forecasts with key technical insights.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF), the vendor-neutral home for many of the fastest-growing projects for continuous delivery, today announced that Jenkins is the first project to graduate. To move from the maturity level of incubation to graduation, a project needs to demonstrate growing adoption, an open governance process, feature maturity, and a strong commitment to community, sustainability, and inclusivity. Jenkins has met all of these criteria.

Jenkins is the automation engine driving rapid software innovation for global companies of all sizes. Jenkins is the most popular – and flexible – open-source automation server and CI/CD system in the world. It is open source and provides the ability to connect all tools and customize to fit any integration requirement. Jenkins is used in production by many well-known organizations, including Alcatel-Lucent, Cloudera, Dell, Deutsche Telekom, eBay, Etsy, GitHub, Intuit, LinkedIn, NASA, Netflix, Salesforce, Sony, SpaceX, and many others.

Jenkins is also excited to announce the new open public roadmap. Key features in the Jenkins roadmap relate to improving user/administrator experience and providing better support for cloud platform usage. This includes Jenkins Kubernetes Operator. There is already an initial project on integration of Jenkins with Tekton Triggers pipeline. Tekton is the cloud native CI/CD pipelines project, which is also part of the CD Foundation. More details here. 

«Jenkins is the most prolific CI/CD tool and has been a catalyst for transforming the entire software delivery industry. With Jenkins graduating from the CDF it sets the stage for act two of the Jenkins project while simultaneously modelling what a well-adopted, well-governed and well-run open source software project looks like for other open source projects to model,» said Tracy Miranda, CD Foundation Governing Board Chair, and director of open source community at CloudBees. «Congratulations Jenkins!»

«Working with the Jenkins community within the CDF has been an amazing and humbling experience. I’m grateful for the opportunity the Jenkins contributors and governing board provided the TOC to fine-tune our requirements. Additionally, I’m thrilled that we were able to help improve the open governance, code of conduct and contributor documentation for the Jenkins project as a part of this process. I’m looking forward to continuing to help move the Jenkins project forward, including future collaboration with the Tekton project!» said Dan Lorenc, CD Foundation Technical Oversight Committee Chair, and Staff Software Engineer at Google.

Jenkins has millions of users. In 2019 it had 5,433 contributors from 111 countries and 272 companies, 67 core releases, 2,654 plugin releases, 45,484 commits, 7,000+ pull requests. In 2020Q2 the project has seen 21% growth in pull requests numbers compared to 2019Q2, bots excluded. Jenkins has recently achieved the Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) best practices compliance badge, set up an official bug triage team and created an adopters page to highlight users.

«About 18 months ago, Jenkins became one of the CDF founding projects. Thanks to this membership we addressed key project infrastructure needs, and established connections with other CI/CD projects and end user companies. It is an honor to be the first project to graduate in the CD Foundation. Our project has a strong global community with a long history of open governance. Nevertheless the graduation process helped us to further strengthen the community foundations and pave the way for future growth,» said Oleg Nenashev, Jenkins Core Maintainer and Governance Board Member, and Principal Software Engineer, CloudBees. «Congratulations and thanks to the dozens of contributors who made our graduation possible!»

Jenkins was originally developed as the Hudson project in summer of 2004 at Sun Microsystems by Kohsuke Kawaguchi. The project got its current name in 2011. It was one of four founding projects when the CD Foundation was formed in the Spring of 2019.

«From the very beginning of the Jenkins project, creating a stable neutral home for Jenkins has been a key goal for the project. We believed this is the only way for the community to collectively own this foundational project that played a key role in defining the CI/CD. I congratulate the team and the community for hitting the key milestone,» said Kohsuke Kawaguchi, creator of Jenkins, Co-CEO at Launchable, Inc. «If you haven’t joined Jenkins yet, as a contributor or as a user, now’s a great time to do so!»

«The Jenkins project has become a crucial enabler for teams adopting modern software delivery and DevSecOps across the government sector. The extensibility of Jenkins made it possible for Booz Allen to build and open source the Jenkins Templating Engine – which we have employed to help our clients and organizations around the world decrease their pipeline development time by about 97%. The transparency of the project has allowed Booz Allen to participate in the community through the Pipeline Authoring special interest group and has made our clients in the Federal Government more comfortable adopting Jenkins within their organizations,» said Steven Terrana, Senior Lead Technologist at Booz Allen Hamilton.

«Salesforce is focused on our customers and constantly improving our customers’ experience. Being able to provide improvements seamlessly is a key component of our ability to strengthen the customer journey. Jenkins provides the scale, performance, and flexibility in an automation server that Salesforce needs to provide this and we’re proud to contribute to this vibrant open source project and community,» said Justin Harringa, Principal Software Engineer, Salesforce. «Congratulations to Jenkins and the CD Foundation!»

To officially graduate from incubating status, the project has updated the Jenkins Code of Conduct and updated its governance and user documentation to align with recommendations defined by CDF. It has also achieved and maintained a Core Infrastructure Initiative Best Practices Badge. Graduated Stage projects are expected to participate actively in Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) proceedings, and Jenkins community members actively participate in CDF TOC and special interest groups operating across multiple projects.

Jenkins Background

Jenkins is the leading open source automation server supported by a large and growing community of developers, testers, designers and other people interested in continuous integration, continuous delivery and modern software delivery practices. Built on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), it provides more than 1,500 plugins that extend Jenkins to automate with practically any technology software delivery teams use. In 2019, Jenkins surpassed 200,000 known installations making it the most widely deployed automation server.

New SANS Institute Reports Advocate for Remote Browser Isolation and Assess the Effectiveness of the Cyberinc Isla Isolation Platform

SAN RAMON, Calif., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cyberinc today announced that SANS Institute, the leading independent provider of security research and education, has published an independent review of

SAN RAMON, Calif., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Cyberinc today announced that SANS Institute, the leading independent provider of security research and education, has published an independent review of Cyberinc’s Isla Remote Browser Isolation Platform based on its own testing and analysis. Written by SANS Analyst Matt Bromiley, the review concludes that Cyberinc Isla is an ideal, easily deployed and administered tool to protect employees, devices and networks against prominent web attacks.

The latest report follows Bromiley’s earlier research, «All Roads Lead to the Browser: A SANS Buyer’s Guide to Browser Isolation,» which underscores the critical need for remote browser isolation in the enterprise as a way to proactively stop ransomware, phishing and other Internet-based threats. With evolving remote work models and organizations’ increasing reliance on the cloud, Bromiley’s report asserts that the browser has become the new endpoint – and securing it through an isolation platform is key to stopping prominent attacks before they can strike.

In his assessment of Cyberinc Isla, Bromiley finds that the platform provides «a truly isolated web browser coupled with a near-seamless end user experience,» and also states, «With Isla, it’s highly likely that attackers may not get a foothold into the organization. This may change your approach toward detection. Latter stages of the attack life cycle may never occur—freeing up your security team to tackle other issues within the organization, rather than constantly responding to threats that likely should’ve been blocked in the first place.»

The full report is available here.

«The majority of successful endpoint compromises such as ransomware, phishing, credential theft and others successfully target users through the browser, as demonstrated by recent high-profile breaches in which attackers infiltrated and encrypted files, impairing the company’s customers and brand. Such attacks can be eliminated with browser isolation,» said Rajiv Raghunarayan, SVP of Products and Marketing for Cyberinc. «Cyberinc Isla isolates the browser to deliver a simple, effective defense against attacks before they cause damage. Isla not only secures employees from prominent threats, it also relieves security teams from ‘alert fatigue’ that prevents them from focusing on critical tasks – all while retaining the end-user experience.»

RaaWee K12 Solutions hosts Student Attendance & Engagement Tracking Forums for Online, In-Person & Hybrid Learning as Schools Re-Open this Fall

RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RaaWee K12 Solutions, an enterprise software company focused on the needs of K12 Education, announces a Forum Series for open discussion on how School Districts will continue to track student attendance and identify developing absentee and engagement issues in the new distance and hybrid learning models.

RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RaaWee K12 Solutions, an enterprise software company focused on the needs of K12 Education, announces a Forum Series for open discussion on how School Districts will continue to track student attendance and identify developing absentee and engagement issues in the new distance and hybrid learning models.

RaaWee K12 TDPS is built on the fundamental principle that a student’s achievement is directly correlated to their consistent attendance and, now with expanded instructional modes, instructional engagement. While districts across the country address the many details and challenges needed to re-open schools for the new school year in at-school, distance, or hybrid learning models, all are concerned with the new implications identification of at-risk students.
RaaWee K12 TDPS ensures equitable access to education for all and that no student falls through the cracks, even in these challenging times.

To address this need, RaaWee K12 was honored to host three events facilitating dialogue and promoting idea sharing among numerous public school districts on Student Attendance Tracking & Interventions in Fall 2020. These events, bringing together 250 educators from more than 100 public school districts and education service agencies, highlighted several common imperatives across districts:

  • – Ensuring Equity for all students will remain a top priority.
  • – Closer Attendance Tracking will be essential to minimize learning loss in online learning – both synchronous and asynchronous.
  • – Proactive, positive two-way Communication between School and Home will be key to consistent Student Engagement.
  • – Students often respond to one Learning Mode better than another. Data and Analysis by in-person, online (synchronous vs – asynchronous), and hybrid are necessary to more clearly identify needs.
  • – New Barriers are emerging with these new challenging times. Quick identification of these Barriers and Interventions must adapt to meet these new needs.

Targeted Recovery of Instruction & Credit will be critical to the success of students struggling through new instruction modes.
Saleem Qazi, CEO of RaaWee K12 Solutions, states, «It was truly our pleasure to host these conversations. And what we learned is that identifying those students who are failing to engage in instruction is more important than ever. Attendance and participation tracking are critical in this changing school environment, and hearing from our partner district allows us to be nimble in providing adjusted data and enhanced two-way communication tools.» As a result of these forums, RaaWee K12 has added many new tracking and data features, including those in online synchronous and asynchronous learning models. Plus apps that simplify communications between school-home and home visits when needed.

This event series is available for video viewing at Event 1, Event 2, and Event 3. For additional information on RaaWee K12 Solutions commitment to preventing chronic absenteeism, non-participation, truancy, and dropout prevention, contact RaaWee K12 at 972-782-4287.
