We’ve Updated Our Website — Here’s What to Know
2 months ago

We’re always looking to improve how we present information in the simplest way for you, our members. With that in mind, the CalPERS website will have a new look and feel beginning April 17.
Why the Change?
Our User Experience team worked diligently with members and stakeholders to better understand why people visit our website so we can improve how and where information and resources are presented.
Some of the areas we have targeted for improvement include:

Homepage – We want to show you where to begin and encourage discovery of new information and resources.
Navigation – We want to guide you during your journey on our website.
Customer journey – We want to help you find the top tasks that members search for.
myCalPERS login – We want to make the login button easier to find.
Information – We want to reduce or remove complexity by using more plain language.

What to Expect
On April 17, you’ll see the first phase of these efforts come to fruition. Expect to find:

Various design changes, including font, images, video sizes, and more.
Swapping of location of the myCalPERS login button with the search bar.
Removal of Investments, Newsroom, and Blog from the top navigation area.
Relocation of Investments into the main navigation area.
Addition of icon navigation bar for top tasks.

More to Come
We’re working on additional changes expected to arrive later this year. Stay tuned for information on how else we’re improving our website.

Aviary: A New NASA Software Platform for Aircraft Modelling - NASA
Researchers can input information about an aircraft’s shape, range, and other characteristics. Then, Aviary creates a corresponding digital model of that airplane.

 

“Aviary is flexible enough that you can decide what you want to learn more about, then configure it to teach you.”

Jennifer Gratz
Aviary Task Lead

Aviary is a significant leap in progress. Unlike past aviation modelling tools, Aviary can link with other codes and programs to expand and customize its capabilities.
“We wanted to make it easy to extend the code and tie it in with other tools,” said Jennifer Gratz, who leads Aviary’s integration and development. “Aviary is intentionally designed to be able to integrate disciplines together more tightly.”
Aviary is free and accessible to all. The code continues to grow as contributions are made by the public. The code is hosted on GitHub, along with its key documentation.

This image of a Transonic Truss Braced Wing airplane represents a digital model created by Aviary, a new computer modelling tool aeronautical engineers can use to innovate new aircraft designs, The Aviary code builds on NASA’s decades of experience using highly advanced computer code for aviation. Aviary is a resource created by NASA’s Transformational Tools and Technologies project.

Building Aviary from a Legacy
Aviary is a descendant of two prior modelling tools created by NASA decades ago: the Flight Optimization System, and the General Aviation Synthesis Program.
These older legacy codes, however, were comparatively limited in terms of flexibility and detail.
“The older legacy codes were not designed to handle these more modern-day concepts such as hybrid-electric aircraft,” Gratz said. “They viewed certain systems as more separated than they really are in the vehicles we envision now.”
Aviary bridges that gap, enabling researchers to seamlessly incorporate detailed information reflecting the more integrated, enmeshed systems needed to model newer aircraft.
The team began creating Aviary by taking the best parts of the legacy codes and merging them, then adding in new code to make Aviary extendable and compatible with other tools.
“That’s one of its most important characteristics,” Gratz said.

How to Enroll
Increasing Transparency of County Office of Education Spending 
To ensure the LCAP and adopted budget are aligned, the COE would be required to include sufficient funding for staff positions to develop transition plans and assist in the coordination of services for families. COEs are required to assess the effectiveness of actions taken to achieve goals specified in their LCAP and are required to change actions that have not been effective towards meeting their intended goal over a three year period.
COEs Must Ensure “Proportionality” When Spending Supplemental and Concentration Grant Funds. COEs must include information demonstrating that they are increasing or improving services for ELs, low‑income students, and foster youth in proportion to their supplemental and concentration funding. As part of these requirements, COEs also must provide justification if they plan to spend their supplemental and concentration funding for schoolwide purposes or for all COE‑run programs. SBE is required to develop regulations implementing these provisions. The existing regulations allow COEs to reflect their increase or improvement in services in quantitative or qualitative ways. (The LCAP template allows COEs to include spending information and a narrative description to demonstrate how services will increase or improve.) COEs must report the total amount of supplemental and concentration funding they expect to receive, as well as describe how they plan to use their supplemental and concentration funding for the benefit of ELs, low‑income students, and foster youth. They also must report how the proportional increase in supplemental and concentration funding meets a proportional increase in services for these students. COEs are required to track whether any supplemental and concentration funding goes unspent in any given year, and must set aside any unspent funds for increasing and improving services in future years.
COEs Must Solicit Input in Developing Plan. COEs also must follow a process for soliciting input in adopting their LCAPs. One of the main requirements is that a COE consult with its school employees, local bargaining units, parents, and students. As part of this consultation process, COEs must present their proposed plans to a parent advisory committee and, in some cases, a separate EL parent advisory committee. (EL parent advisory committees are required if ELs comprise at least 15 percent of the district’s enrollment and the district has at least 50 EL students.)

NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement has selected seven student teams to participate in a culminating event for the 2024 App Development Challenge (ADC), one of the agency’s Artemis Student Challenges, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The coding challenge invites middle and high school student teams to contribute to deep space exploration missions by developing solutions to real-world technical problems.

Screenshot of the app submitted by ADC Top Team, Team Spaghetti Code from Trinity Christian School in Morgantown, West Virginia. 

The ADC, a part of NASA’s Next Gen STEM project, gives students an opportunity to participate in NASA’s endeavors to land American astronauts, including the first woman and the first person of color, on the Moon. Artemis Generation students are prompted to create an application to visualize the Moon’s South Pole region and display essential information for navigating the lunar surface and receiving signals from Earth. NASA will make history by sending the first humans to explore the region near the lunar South Pole on Artemis III.
“Working on this application gave us a simplified understanding and real-world experience of how professionals approach similar problems in the work-field,” stated Team Frostbyte, from North High School in Des Moines, Iowa, “Engaging in this hands-on project has deepened our passion for innovative utilization of technology. Our participation in this challenge has only further affirmed our goals to pursue careers in these fields.”

Posted on: May 13, 2022The Roosevelt Island Public Purpose Fund Awards $150,000 in Grants to 13 Nonprofits ROOSEVELT ISLAND, NY, May 13, 2022 – The Roosevelt Island Public Purpose Fund (the Fund) has announced $150,000 in grants to 13 nonprofits working to benefit Roosevelt Island residents and enhance their quality of life. Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC) was created in 1984 by the State of New York to plan, design, develop, and maintain Roosevelt Island. RIOC asked The New York Community Trust (The Trust) to administer its public purpose grants this year and created the Roosevelt Island Public Purpose Fund in The Trust.“We are proud to assist these dedicated nonprofits in their service to the Island,” said RIOC President and CEO Shelton Haynes. “The New York Community Trust’s expertise improved the grantmaking process this year and will help the grantees strengthen their operations for the future.”The grants support a range of projects aiming to make life on Roosevelt Island more enjoyable and equitable: from enrichment classes for older adults and improving services for people with disabilities to supporting the island’s visitor center and putting on orchestral concerts. The Fund previously provided a grant of $50,000 to Community Resource Exchange, one of the city’s most distinguished nonprofit consultant agencies, to provide a series of free nonprofit management workshops to grantees and other Roosevelt Island nonprofits. The workshops for nonprofit volunteers and leaders will share information about best practices in nonprofit management, governance, and fundraising.The Trust aimed to simplify the application and reporting processes for nonprofits, while ensuring grants support important programs and services for Roosevelt Island residents–including educational opportunity, cultural enrichment, improved health, and a better environment.  The grant application process began in February, and closed on March 14.
