Stanford University, officially Leland Stanford Junior University, is a private research university in Stanford, California, and one of the world's most prestigious institutions.
Stanford was founded in 1885 by Leland Stanford, former Governor of and U.S. Senator from California and leading railroad tycoon, and his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford, in memory of their only child, Leland Stanford, Jr., who had died of typhoid fever at age 15 the previous year. Stanford admitted its first students on October 1, 1891 as a coeducational and non-denominational institution. Tuition was free until 1920. The university struggled financially after Leland Stanford's 1893 death and again after much of the campus was damaged by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Following World War II, Provost Frederick Terman supported faculty and graduates' entrepreneurialism to build self-sufficient local industry in what would later be known as Silicon Valley. By 1970, Stanford was home to a linear accelerator, and was one of the original four ARPANET nodes (precursor to the Internet).

I just wanted to share the stuff that I wish I knew before I started the process a year ago! These are my tips and advice to get into Stanford, Ivies, and other top schools especially when you don't have the cure for cancer, the last name Obama, or any Nobel Peace Prizes (yet). The one thing I hate the most is the "college prep/admissions" industry because not everyone can afford essay readers, private counselors, or SAT tutors (I know I couldn't). So this is my little way of helping out other high schoolers navigate the process on their own and get into some amazing schools....

Stanford University vs Virginia Tech Dining Service Both university have great dining service! Which one will you choose? Let's start discussion on comment section below.
Stanford University is one of the most well-known private universities in the United States. In this video, I visit the area around the Memorial Church as well as Hoover Tower. Unfortunately, I was not able to go to the top as it was closed during the holiday weekend. At the end of the video, I get to see Stanford Stadium, home to the Stanford Cardinal football team.
For more information about Professor Shankar's book based on the lectures from this course, Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics, visit http://bit.ly/1jFIqNu. Fundamentals of Physics, II (PHYS 201) Waves on a string are reviewed and the general solution to the wave equation is described. Maxwell's equations in their final form are written down and then considered in free space, away from charges and currents. It is shown how to verify that a given set of fields obeys Maxwell's equations by considering them on infinitesimal cubes and loops. A simple form of the solutions is assumed and the parameters therein fitted using Maxwell's equations. The wave equation follows, along with the wave speed equal to that of light (3 x 10^8), suggesting (correctly) that lig...

10 travel tips for first-timers in Italy. Everyone knows Italy – Rome's iconic ruins, Tuscany's vine-clad hills, Venice's romantic waterways. These have all been on the radar for centuries. Add fabulous food and breath-taking scenery, and you have all the ingredients for an unforgettable visit. 1. Eat like a local. Dining out is one of Italy's great joys. And there's no shortage of eateries, with everything from Michelin-starred restaurants to neighbourhood trattorias, wine bars, cafes and pizzerias. Italians generally eat late, so if you want to fit in, stop for lunch at around 1.30pm and dinner at 8.30 to 9pm – the further south you go, the later they eat. 2. Dress the part. Appearances matter in fashion-conscious Italy. That said, you'll have to dress comfortably for sightseeing beca...

There are some simply remarkable things we read about, on a daily basis, about travelling off this planet, and defying gravity along the way. What seems to be under-discussed is the human machine, full of curiosity, hope and wonder, vs. the rocket propelled one full of technology innovation. If it’s humans that we wish to explore other planets and distant areas, let’s give the humans a larger percentage of the equation.

Dearheart
Take a look at you
I know how it feels
Branches full of fruit
Life streaks
And surges all in green
The bounty of the rain
The bounty of the spring
Dearheart
You cant keep them all
I wait with eyes closed
Ill lighten your load
Truth hurts
Remember this:
We are pooling our faith
(You said it)
Asking for my basketful
Shake loose
All your garnet jewels
Whatever sustains me
Gifts and pampers you
Trees drop
Plums in my open mouth
I wait with eyes closed
Paradise my own
Truth hurts
Hold onto this:
We are pooling our faith
(You said it)
Juice bursts
Don't let it drip
We are pooling our faith
