Lift Off by Donovan Livingston Pdf

An inspirational rallying call about education, race, and the true nature of equality—the Harvard Graduate School of Education convocation speech praised as “powerful” by Hillary Rodham Clinton in Teen Vogue and “inspired” by Justin Timberlake. In emotionally charged spoken-word poetry, Livingston shares a message of hope and hard truths, declaring that education can become an equalizer only if we first acknowledge the inequality and racial divides holding back America’s future. Livingston is dedicated to helping young people reach their celestial potential, and in his galvanizing commencement address, now adapted for the first time to the page, he calls on us to raise our voices on behalf of all children, as their brighter futures can light up our own. Together, we can lift off! Praise for Donovan Livingston “Donovan Livingston gave a powerful speech at the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s convocation. In a spoken-word poem, he shared his struggles in life and urged his fellow graduates to fight inequality and inspire students. . . . Donovan’s message hit home. . . . [He is] part of a rising generation that’s . . . standing up to some of the biggest challenges in the world today.”—Hillary Rodham Clinton, Teen Vogue “These are the words, and Donovan Livingston’s voice and spirit are the music, but in any form, this rare graduation speech tells us that learning is full of bias yet can lead us to the stars.”—Gloria Steinem “Donovan Livingston’s Lift Off is our youth’s gift to us. In this joyous young man’s voice is the promise of tomorrow.”—James McBride

Liftoff by Diana Larsen,Ainsley Nies Pdf

Liftoff-it's the unexplored, often ignored, Agile project practice. As the first act of flight, a rocket launch requires an entire set of systems to lift the vehicle into orbit-not just the vehicle itself, but all the systems needed for smoothly moving off the ground into space. Likewise, your project needs its entire set of supporting systems in place to begin a successful journey to delivery. Whatever you call it (project kickoff, bootcamp, inception, or jump start), liftoff gives your team its trajectory, and launches your project. This critical practice informs, inspires, and aligns everyone to a singular purpose: the successful delivery of software. This success is in your hands! Agile veterans Diana Larsen and Ainsley Nies teach you how to organize and conduct liftoffs, hold team activities to discover what's most important, and offer a working framework for effective and lightweight agile chartering.

A Method for Determining the Point of Lift-off and Modified Trajectory of a Ground-based Heated Turbulent Planar Jet in a Co-flowing Wind by Milton M. Klein Pdf

Experimental and theoretical programs are being conducted to aid in the development of an operational Warm Fog Dispersal System using ground based heat sources. To help determine optimum heat and thrust combinations for the system, investigations have been made of the buoyant motion of heated turbulent jets in co-flowing; that is, same direction ambient winds. To take account of the ground effect, an analysis has been made of the experimental data for the planar jet at the point of lift-off in terms of the local Froude number at this point. From this correlation a procedure has been developed for determining the lift-off point, using the ambient wind and initial velocity and temperature of the jet as input variables. A new jet trajectory may now be easily calculated with only a simple modification of the original method in which the ground effect was ignored.
