Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, established 1636, whose history, influence and wealth have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world.
Established originally by the Massachusetts legislature and soon thereafter named for John Harvard (its first benefactor), Harvard is the United States' oldest institution of higher learning, and the Harvard Corporation (formally, the President and Fellows of Harvard College) is its first chartered corporation. Although never formally affiliated with any denomination, the early College primarily trained Congregationalist and Unitarian clergy. Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century Harvard had emerged as the central cultural establishment among Boston elites. Following the American Civil War, President Charles W. Eliot's long tenure (1869–1909) transformed the college and affiliated professional schools into a modern research university; Harvard was a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900.James Bryant Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II and began to reform the curriculum and liberalize admissions after the war. The undergraduate college became coeducational after its 1977 merger with Radcliffe College.
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American computer programmer, Internet entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is the chairman, chief executive, and co-founder of the social networking website Facebook. His personal wealth, as of December 2015, is estimated to be $46 billion.
Together with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, he launched Facebook from Harvard's dormitory rooms. The group then introduced Facebook to other campuses. Facebook expanded rapidly, with one billion users by 2012. Zuckerberg was involved in various legal disputes that were initiated by others in the group, who claimed a share of the company based upon their involvement during the development phase of Facebook.
In December 2012, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced they would give the majority of their wealth over the course of their lives to "advancing human potential and promoting equality" in the spirit of The Giving Pledge. On December 1, 2015, they announced they would give 99% of their Facebook shares (worth about $45 billion at the time) to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
Pension tax simplification, often simply referred to as "pension simplification" and taking effect from A-day on 6 April 2006 was a policy announced in 2004 by the Labour government to rationalise the British tax system as applied to pension schemes. The aim was to reduce the complicated patchwork of legislation built-up by successive administrations which were seen as acting as a barrier to the public when considering retirement planning. The government wanted to encourage retirement provision by simplifying the previous eight tax regimes into one single regime for all individual and occupational pensions.
Broadly the new regime allows considerable freedom in the tax relievable contributions that may be made to pension schemes, and the assets in which they may be invested. It also however caps the size of tax favoured pension fund that may be accumulated by an individual. This 'lifetime allowance' was set at £1.6M for 2007–08. Funds accumulated in excess of the lifetime allowance are subject to a tax charge of 55%. Transitional protection provisions were made for individuals who had already accumulated pension funds in excess of this amount.

The program, which is currently in 11 Boston Public Schools, is a semester long high school biology curriculum that studies the anatomy and physiology of seven human organ systems such as the cardiovascular system or digestive system. Each schools’ science teacher integrates a MEDscience-designed curriculum into their classroom instruction. But one day a week, the class travels to Harvard Medical School—to the MEDscience Simulation Lab – to use what they’ve learned in the classroom to take care of a patient. Educators often find that students who learn through simulation and experiential, or hands-on learning, are able deepen their understanding of an issue or lesson by connecting it to real-life experiences.

No person, place, or thing, will ever fix all your problems. Here is what that meant for me when I went to Harvard. Also, today is the anniversary of graduation. It has officially been 1 year since I graduated. Wow. Time flies. Keep in mind that I LOVE HARVARD. Any criticism I made was done in love. I would absolutely recommend it and believe that the pros outweigh the cons. Hope this video isn't too verbose or self-indulgent. If it is, oh well! I'll try again next week!

The nearest star to the Sun, Proxima, was discovered this year to host an Earth mass planet in its habitable zone. Proxima is only 4.24 light years away. Can a camera fly by this planet to find out whether there is life on it? Starshot is a new project aimed to develop the technology that will enable to launch a spacecraft at a fifth of the speed of light, so that it will reach Proxima within our generation. The concept is based on a high power (100GW scale) laser beam pushing a lightweight (gram scale) sail, attached to a chip containing a miniaturized camera, communication and navigation devices. The feasibility study phase of the project had just started at a funding level of $100M for the next 5-10 years, with CfA participation.

Too many miles I have traveled all alone
show me the road that leads to my home,
Strangers, strangers, everywhere I roam
Show me the road that leads to my home
Trouble, trouble, trouble on my mind
Show me the road that leads to my home,
Finding precious little peace, and losing precious time
Show me the road that leads to my home
Chorus
Show me a sign, tell me a reason
Cold winds have scattered the seeds I've sown
Oh, just let me live to see another morning
And show me the road that leads to my home
Such a long, long journey it seems we've traveled on
Show me the road that leads to my home
Such a short time here friends, and such a long time gone
Show me the road that leads to my home
Chorus
Rememberin' just the good times, feeling just the pain
Show me the road that leads to my home
I'm hearing just the sad songs, seeing just the rain
Show me the road that leads to my home
Chorus
