... signed by someone who is not a judge, you have the right to not let him in. So do not. But if you do, by opening the door to talk to ICE, they can argue that you gave them consent to enter the house and conduct a search—consent is considered equal to a warrant. With a proper warrant an ICE agent can come in and look for the person whose name is on the warrant, or whatever else the warrant says, for example, documents relating to the person’s immigration status or nationality. Once inside, ICE agents may question anybody, including women and children, if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person is in the United States without status. But everyone has the right to remain silent. Everyone has the ability to calmly and politely say that they don’t want to answer questions. According to the IDP Report, under Obama, ICE agents were instructed not to go after “collaterals,” that is, people who are undocumented who they are not looking for (who is not named on the warrant). The fear in immigrant communities now is that ICE will start targeting “collaterals” for deportation. Thankfully, in our area, ...

Albert Einstein, Vladimir Putin, And Gordon Gekko

... which holds Honeywell International (NYSE: HON). Honeywell is a major maker of avionics for commercial and military aerospace, as well as a host of electronics for homes and businesses. Despite lower energy costs overall, one of the biggest expenditures for aviation operators is fuel. For these profit-starved operators, the equation is simple: the lighter the aircraft, the less fuel it burns. New-generation aircraft are placing greater demands on pilots, requiring avionics manufacturers to squeeze more capabilities into fewer and smaller components. These economic imperatives are boosting sales of the ultra-sophisticated, miniaturized avionics provided by Honeywell. The company’s electronics can be found in cockpits everywhere. With a market cap of $96.1 billion, Honeywell commands a vast geographical presence that benefits from rising military spending around the globe. In his State of the Union Address on February 28, President Trump reiterated his vow to massively increase defense spending, a policy that’s certain to boost Honeywell.

This Is How The Number 3.14 Got The Name 'pi

... " by math fans: The date resembles the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter — the number that begins 3.14, perhaps better known Pi ( π ), which the holiday's official website describes as an “irrational and transcendental number” whose decimals “continue infinitely without repetition or pattern.". What was hard to figure out was the number itself. Ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes of Syracuse, who lived in the third century B. C. and is considered the greatest mathematician of the ancient world, is credited with doing the first calculation of pi. However, not too many generations after his lifetime, the world experienced a "real decline in math," according to John Conway , mathematics professor emeritus at Princeton University who once won the school's Pi Day pie-eating contest. "Math and science in general went into a great decline from roughly the year zero to the year 1,000, and then the Arabs developed lots of math after that, like trigonometry.". As the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) explains, modern arithmetic techniques, which were probably discovered in India before the fifth century, ...

The Story Of Philipp Lenard And Albert Einstein

... and analysis, and hypothesis testing. In fact, scientists frequently disagree with one another, both as individuals and as representatives of competing schools of thought. Some of these debates rage on for years. Superstring theory, sometimes called the “theory of everything,” has been a topic of vigorous contention for over 30 years. Phillipp Lenard in 1900.  Wikimedia Commons. In some cases, personalities, prejudices and petty jealousies enter the picture. Consider, for example, one of the great disputes of 20 th-century physics, the long-running feud between two world-renowned physicists. The antagonism between Philipp Lenard and Albert Einstein sheds considerable light on the power of nonscientific concerns to sway scientists. Philipp Lenard (1862-1947) was a German experimental physicist who advanced the study of X-ray tubes, the photoelectric effect and ...

Did Einstein Say 'i Fear The Day That Technology Will Surpass Our Human Interaction

... a letter to his friend, psychiatrist Otto Juliusburger, in 1948, “a disastrous byproduct of science and technology. Nostra culpa!”. Einstein was particularly concerned about the destructive power of nuclear weapons, which he had urged President Franklin Roosevelt to develop before the Nazis did during World War II, but which he feared would lay waste to the earth. In a letter co-written with philosopher Bertrand Russell in 1955, Einstein urged world leaders to abandon war and seek peaceful means of resolving international conflicts instead. There lies before us, if we choose, continued progress in happiness, knowledge, and wisdom. Shall we, instead, choose death, because we cannot forget our quarrels? We appeal, as human beings, to human beings: Remember your humanity and forget the rest. Einstein’s forebodings about scientific advancement devoid of human values would appear to lend credence to another reflection — or perhaps it’s more of a prophecy — ;which is usually phrased something like this. I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots. For ...

Daily What?! Albert Einstein’s Eyeballs Are Stored In A Safety Deposit Box In Nyc

... 170 and over 200 parts), while also removing his eyeballs, which he gifted to Einstein’s eye doctor, Henry Abrams. Einstein had been his patient since 1939 , upon the request of a neighbor in Princeton. The two would become confidants and activists together, spending time in conversation in Einstein’s house on Mercer Street and fundraising on behalf of Israel Bonds and the United Jewish Appeal. Einstein’s brain spent time in a University of Pennsylvania lab, in jars in Harvey’s basement, and when Harvey moved to the Midwest, “in a cider box stashed under a beer cooler,” reports ABC News. He moved around six more times, taking the brain pieces with him, even after he lost his medical license. At some point, he befriends William S. Burroughs who would brag that he had access to Einstein’s brain. Proper scientific research was never done, though Harvey often claimed it was taking place, and Harvey at ...

All Shook Up' Jukebox Musical Performance At Albert Einstein High School

... night out? Well, come on down to Albert Einstein High School and get "All Shook Up" at this bluesy and raucous musical about mix-ups, mayhem, and love above all! Based on the Shakespearean classic "Twelfth Night" and the hit music of Elvis Presley, with a book written by Joe Di Pietro, this hip-swiveling jukebox musical tells the story of Chad, a rollicking roustabout who arrives in a dreary town to shake things up. Upon his arrival, he shows the people the power of love and music, and, soon enough, love, dancing, and music abound. The show made a brief appearance on Broadway, opening in March of 2005 and closing six months later in September, but it has appeared in regional, college, and school theatres all over the US, as well as in the UK in a June 2015 tour. With intense choreography, difficult vocals that stray from the traditional musical theatre sound, and a swirling story line with multiple characters and relationships, there is no doubt that this show is quite the beast to tackle. The students at Einstein, however, appeared undaunted, balancing all these ...

Albert Einstein's Surprising Thoughts On The Meaning Of Life

... with human attributes. Himself a famous atheist, Richard Dawkins calls Einstein's pantheism a “sexed-up atheism,” but other scholars point to the fact that Einstein did seem to believe in a supernatural intelligence that’s beyond the physical world. He referred to it in his writings as “a superior spirit,” “a superior mind” and a “spirit vastly superior to men”. Einstein was possibly a deist , although he was quite familiar with various religious teachings, including a strong  knowledge of Jewish religious texts. In another passage from 1934, Einstein talks about the value of a human being, reflecting a Buddhist-like approach. “The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self”. This theme of liberating the self is also echoed by Einstein later in life, in a 1950 ...
