    Fox host and combat vet Pete Hegseth gets nod for Defense Secretary
    Posted on Wednesday, November 13 @ 00:00:23 PST (0 reads)
    College Guide Fox news host pete hegseth will lead the nation’s military as the next defense secretary, incoming president donald trump announced tuesday in a surprise move that elevates an unorthodox candidate to one of the most prominent positions in american government. With pete at the helm, america’s enemies are on notice - our military will be great again, and america will never back down, trump said in a statement tuesday night. In announcing hegseths selection, trump noted he is an army combat veteran who did tours in guantanamo bay, iraq, and afghanistan. The defense secretary position requires senate confirmation. Trumps announcement is an indication that he intends to nominate hegseth for senate approval. Hegseth, 44, is largely known for his eight years on fox news, making him an unusual pick to lead a fighting force of more than two million service members. Hegseth joined the army rotc in college and the army national guard after graduating, according to a 2022 article in reserve + national guard magazine. He deployed overseas with the national guard and remains part of the individual ready reserve. An army times article describes hegseths experience as radically different from recent secretaries, noting secretary lloyd austin and former secretary james mattis came to the job after serving as high-ranking officers in senior command positions. Former secretary mark esper, who served between mattis and austin, was army secretary before leading the defense department. Hegseth also has been involved in conservative politics and wrote a book the war on warriors. Trump lauded the book in his statement as revealing the leftwing betrayal of our warriors, and how we must return our military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence. Trumps early picks to fill out his administration have mostly been mainstream gop figures with considerable government experience. In elevating a conservative tv personality to his cabinet, trump is stepping outside the traditional mold for government service. Hegseth has led veterans advocacy groups and, in 2012, briefly ran for the u.S. Senate in minnesota as a republican. A 2003 graduate of princeton university, hegseth also has a masters degree in public policy from harvard universitys john f. Kennedy school of government, although a biography on his website says he mailed this degree back to harvard! He received two bronze stars and the combat infantrymans badge. Hegseth co-hosts fox & friends weekend and has been a guest host on the channels other signature shows. He has written or co-written five books, according to his website, which describes him as a husband, father, patriot and a christian. The biography states that hegseth lives in tennessee with his wife jenny. They have seven children. Trump considered hegseth to run the veterans administration during his first term as president. Hegseth led the veterans advocacy groups vets for freedom and concerned veterans for america and has been a critic of the va.

    A champion for well-being - URNow - University of Richmond
    Posted on Wednesday, November 13 @ 00:00:23 PST (0 reads)
    College Guide A champion for well-being campus life when tina hallock first moved to richmond in 2021 with her husband, university of richmond president kevin f. Hallock, she immediately began looking for ways to use her expertise and experiences as a mental health and well-being supporter and advocate within the campus community. “For about 20 years, i have been keenly aware of mental health as a part of whole-body wellness, with physical and mental health always going hand in hand,” she said. Hallock taught elementary school for many years and, since 2013, has been supporting families whose children struggle with mental health, teaching them to advocate for themselves while advocating on their behalf for better policies and laws that will assist them. It’s a passion she developed from firsthand experience. “Kevin and i have a child who has struggled with anxiety, ocd, and several other diagnoses over the years. Wellness journeys are a windy road, and i want to support individuals and families on their journeys.” Four years ago, she and a colleague started a podcast — “no need to explain with the mental health mamas” — to normalize mental health concerns and ensure people could connect and know they were not alone. The podcast has 140 episodes and listeners from all over the world. At richmond, hallock has volunteered her time for the past two years as an instructor in the well 100 program, which is required for all first-year students. The course, “introduction to college life at the university of richmond,” explores health and well-being topics and areas such as career exploration and sustainability. She co-teaches with sarah lee, manager of fitness and facilities for university recreation. “Teaching with tina has been a wonderful experience,” lee said. “She brings a calm, kind energy to the classroom that i believe allows our students to feel more at ease, even during difficult content or discussions.” Callia nickels, one of the 27 students in hallock and lee’s well 100 course, said having hallock as one of her instructors is the ultimate bonus to what she’s learning. “Where there is tina, there is sunshine and happiness,” nickels said. “Her energy is effervescent, and she truly cares about every student in the room and on this whole campus, which is certainly special. She goes above and beyond to make us all feel like we belong and has helped me in and out of the classroom with challenges i’ve faced since arriving at ur.” “In a college environment, you encounter students who still need care. They still need mentoring connections,” hallock said. “I’m happy to be part of those connections and in helping students and others make sure they are taking good care of themselves.” Tina encourages her students to find an outlet or hobby that makes them happy and supports their well-being. For her, it’s needle crafts, including knitting and crocheting – a pastime she has created a community around at ur. Hallock hosts a fiber arts pop-up at her home each semester and welcomes students, faculty, and staff to attend, no matter their skill level. Newcomers receive yarn, a pair of knitting needles or a crochet hook, a beginners project, and hands-on support from a more experienced fiber artist, which might be hallock herself. Junior grace allen, who is pursuing a dual degree in mathematical economics and politics, philosophy, economics, and law with a concentration in economics, attends the fiber arts pop-ups as both an attendee and to help others. Given allen’s rigorous academic pursuits, the activity provides an outlet for creativity and to de-stress. “I learned to crochet during my first week of college and started attending knitting club with the friend who taught me, and now i teach others the basics during our weekly knitting club meetings or at tina’s fiber arts events,” said allen, who is now president of the knitting club. “I like to knit and crochet because it allows me to be creative and have something to do with my hands while my brain is otherwise occupied. When i feel stressed or overwhelmed, i know i have something to take my mind off, whatever that is.” Hallock hopes to continue providing outlets and safe spaces for support and connection. “I’ve found power in connecting with those who have experienced similar challenges, and i want to continue to help others experience that connection,” hallock said.

    Former Trump Energy Sec Who Unleashed Production Boom Positioned for Return to A
    Posted on Wednesday, November 13 @ 00:00:23 PST (0 reads)
    College Guide As donald trump’s energy secretary, dan brouillette unleashed an energy boom, with america becoming a net energy exporter and producer for the first time in 75 years thanks to record-high oil and gas production. Now, brouillette is positioned to potentially serve in the second trump administration, saying trump’s victory is an opportunity to “reshape u.S. Energy policy” and usher in “an era of unprecedented innovation.” After four years of the biden-harris administration, which prioritized green energy policies to fight climate change and rolled back trump-era energy policies in the process, proponents of an all-of-the-above energy strategy are excited about the possibility of brouillette returning to the trump administration. The excitement underscores the centrality of energy policy to trump’s economic vision. The president-elect has made clear he views slashing energy prices as the key to battling inflation and blunting the spike in housing prices. “If we open up american energy, you will get immediate pricing release, relief, for american citizens—not, by the way, just in housing, but in a whole host of other economic goods too,” trump’s vice presidential pick, j.D. Vance, said during a debate. Brouillette—who holds a master’s degree in intelligence and national security from the citadel military college of south carolina—is a former tank commander with the army’s 11th armored cavalry regiment and a recipient of the prestigious distinguished public service awards, handed out by the pentagon and state department. In 2004, he was hired by ford motor company as a senior vice president before joining the united states automobile association in a similar role in 2006. Trump selected brouillette to serve as deputy energy secretary in 2017 and to serve as energy secretary in 2019, after then-secretary rick perry left the department. Brouillette is the only person ever to receive senate confirmation for both roles. After serving in the administration, he was hired as the president of the energy firm sempra infrastructure and, two years later, as president of the edison electric institute, the nation’s largest industry group representing power providers. In interviews with the washington free beacon, several former trump administration officials and energy industry officials, all of whom have extensive experience working with brouillette, lauded the former energy secretary as someone who could advance trump’s agenda and unwind the biden-harris administration’s restrictive regulations. The wave of support backing brouillette comes days after trump defeated vice president kamala harris in a sweeping victory to take back the white house. And it comes just two weeks after brouillette [stepped down from his role](https://www.Eei.Org/news/news/all/eei-president-and-ceo-dan-brouillette-announces-departure) at the edison electric institute, an unexpected move that makes him immediately available to serve once again in the federal government. Filling energy-related policy roles in the trump administration, meanwhile, will likely receive an increased level of scrutiny from trump and his senior transition staff. The president-elect campaigned on increasing energy independence and energy security and curbing burdensome climate regulations implemented by the biden-harris administration. Trump also promised to reinstate his first administration’s energy agenda, much of which was overseen by brouillette. “I think the world of him,” said mark menezes, the president of the united states energy association, who served as brouillette’s deputy at the energy department in 2020. “He’s got the skillset necessary to run any agency. He showed that at doe, whether it’s a job in the white house or even international.” “Under his leadership, the u.S. Became the leading producer of oil and natural gas globally, and really served as a huge counterbalance to the countries that for years had dominated the price and supply of oil,” menezes said. “That’s what changed under his leadership.” While he served in the department of energy, brouillette spearheaded efforts to boost america’s [nuclear power footprint](https://www.Energy.Gov/articles/secretary-brouillette-announces-nuclear-fuel-working-groups-strategy-restore-american) and created a [first-ever artificial intelligence office](https://www.Energy.Gov/articles/us-energy-secretary-brouillette-applauds-national-strategy-critical-and-emerging). He also served on the white house national security council and national space council and was one of trump’s top advisers on energy and nuclear-weapons matters. “When you look back at what doe did under the trump administration, dan brouillette is at the core of all of it,” said neil chatterjee, who served as chairman of the federal energy regulatory commission during the trump administration. “While he certainly has conservative bonafides, i know a lot of democrats who may not agree with all of his views on policy, but they respect it and they respect that he’s a serious person and not a hack and not an ideologue.” Brouillette’s [work bolstering](https://www.Energy.Gov/articles/deputy-secretary-brouillette-participates-german-lng-conference) liquefied natural gas export projects to energy-needy allies in europe and asia is especially relevant given the biden-harris administration’s actions. In january, the white house gave in to environmental activists’ demands and issued a moratorium on permitting such projects to allow time for a federal study analyzing their climate impacts. The biden-harris administration’s moratorium on gas exports is ultimately something brouillette could quickly unwind if trump selects him to lead the department of energy once more. Sempra infrastructure, the company brouillette led after departing the department of energy, is one of the nation’s largest developers of natural gas export projects. “When he was deputy secretary, he went to germany several times—germany at that time didn’t have any import terminals,” a former department of energy official who worked with brouillette told the free beacon. “It was very reliant on russian gas. And dan was able to get the germans to build their first import terminal. That was the first sort of stage of american lng coming into germany.” “He understands energy markets,” the former official added. “He understands nuclear technology, he understands renewables, he understands that all of those are needed in order to have the most stable, secure, as well as affordable and clean energy balance that we can possibly have, and not just here in the united states, but for the world. He’s very pragmatic about it and i think that translates into an all-of-the-above energy strategy.” Last year, after the edison electric institute selected brouillette as its president and ceo, the group characterized him as “a preeminent voice helping to guide the nation’s energy policy.” In that role, brouillette [threw cold water](https://subscriber.Politicopro.Com/article/eenews/2024/06/06/bidens-2035-carbon-free-grid-goal-is-unrealistic-eei-chief-00161820) on president joe biden’s plans to decarbonize the nation’s power grid and [sued biden’s administration](https://www.Eei.Org/en/news/news/all/eei-joins-litigation-for-epa-clean-air-act-111-rules) over its rules targeting fossil fuel-fired power plants. Andrew wheeler, who served as epa administrator under trump, also voiced support for brouillette, who he said “remains widely respected in the energy field and with his energy peers.” “Dan is very focused on the nexus between energy security and national security, the importance of the united states being an energy supplier for global energy markets, whether that’s oil markets, natural gas markets, exporting u.S. Nuclear technology,” another former energy department official told the free beacon. “People need to keep in mind that emissions come globally, right?” The former official said. “So, emissions-lowering technology is not going to be effective unless it’s deployed all over the world. And dan’s keenly aware that the u.S. Does it best.” In a statement to the free beacon, brouillette, who is involved in trump’s transition effort, expressed excitement at what a second trump administration can accomplish. “President trump’s victory marks a pivotal moment to reshape u.S. Energy policy, addressing our most critical economic, and national security challenges,” brouillette said. “With america’s abundant resources and unparalleled ingenuity, we can unleash an era of unprecedented innovation.” “In the years ahead, strengthening our energy infrastructure and securing a reliable, affordable, and clean energy supply will be vital to propelling industries from manufacturing to ai,” he continued. “I’m proud of the work we did together through 2021 to solidify america’s global leadership in energy, and i am excited to see how his new administration will build upon that powerful foundation for an even stronger energy future.” The post [former trump energy sec who unleashed production boom positioned for return to admin](https://freebeacon.Com/energy/former-trump-energy-sec-who-unleashed-production-boom-positioned-for-return-to-admin/) appeared first on [.](Https://freebeacon.Com/)

    UWSP-Marshfield campus confident in its enrollment numbers despite earlier repor
    Posted on Wednesday, November 13 @ 00:00:23 PST (0 reads)
    College Guide Uwsp-marshfield campus confident in its enrollment numbers despite earlier reports marshfield, wis. (Wsaw) - the universities of wisconsin two-year schools are [struggling with enrollment](https://www.Wsaw.Com/2024/10/29/central-wisconsin-campus-loses-nearly-half-enrollment-compared-last-fall/) and budget crunches. Four campuses have already closed and two more will after this school year. Last year, uwsp’s marshfield and wausau campuses lost a combined 158 students, but this school year, numbers are looking better for marshfield. It may look like uwsp-marshfield is emptier after the campus lost 125 students last year. According to the uw system’s fall enrollment numbers, overall enrollment at two-year schools fell 22 percent with uwsp-marshfield losing nearly 45 percent of its enrollment compared to last year. However, staff say student retention is up 12 percent this year. While there are no plans to close the marshfield campus, campus executive anthony andrews says they realize they need to keep strategizing to keep that retention number. When uwsp-marshfield found out about the drop in enrollment numbers on campus, they had an idea of what could have happened. They discovered that high school students were left out. “We had more seats for traditional and non-traditional college students to take those courses, but that’s why we are re-imagining and envisioning that,” andrews said. “We want to make sure that we give students in the local areas an opportunity to attend marshfield.” Uw-milwaukee’s waukesha campus and uw-oshkosh’s fox cities branch [will close after this school year](https://www.Wsaw.Com/2024/09/23/impact-uw-oshkosh-fox-cities-campus-closure-yet-be-determined/). Marshfield believes they’ll remain safe because of scholarships. “We gave out over $82,000 in scholarships this semester and approximately over $140,000 in scholarships for the year,” andrews said. “111 of 120 degree-seeking students received scholarship dollars.” What they’re noticing is two-year degrees aren’t what some students want anymore. So, they’re taking advice from their competitors and hoping to attract more bachelor’s degree students. “We’re hoping those students now will think about staying for four years and getting a bachelor’s or staying for five and getting a master’s,” andrews added. Uwsp-marshfield is comfortable being the campus in your backyard and not wanting to be anything bigger. “It’s a campus with residential offerings and we just want to continue to grow within uwsp,” andrews shared. “As we grow the university grows. We feel very good about our part in that role.” Andrews says marshfield is excited about the new soccer team and believes numbers will continue to grow. Copyright 2024 wsaw. All rights reserved.

Alternately, subtract x from both sides to give 0 = 2x - 8, and as taking 8 from two xs makes it zero, one x is half that (verify by plugging x=4 into the original equation. 4 = (3*4) - 8 -> 4 = 12 - 8 -> 4 = 4.) 4 is also the subject of [221: random number](/wiki/index.Php/221:_random_number). calculus?? ?

Its exact value is not known to this level of precision; it is about 70 (km/s)/mpc. Different methods of measuring it have come up with significantly different values, with their own error bars, generally of 2% to 5% (both plus and minus, or asymmetrically, but with a similar overall range) and resolving this difference (thehubble tension) is one of the great challenges of modern cosmology. Getting a phd involves advancing the field, so it seems this particular phd student has completed a thesis solving this problem. This question might have a different acceptable answer if asked again of the student, depending upon further developments in cosmology, and the constant itself is supposed to change over cosmological time (the nature of this change being yet another subject requiring further study, calculation and observation).What would a correct answer look like? Because of how significant digits are interpreted, 69 (km/s)/mpc could be correct to within 1% while 70 is not. game theoryarithmetical mean), and the best answer would be one that is 10 more than that average. For instance, if the answers end up being 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70, the mean would be 50, making 60 the best possible answer. As an individual test taker who doesnt know what your classmates are going to write down, the objective is to answer 10 more than your estimate of the average including your own guess, knowing that everyone else will be doing the same. Attempts at numerical solutions, includingmonte-carlo methods, will not converge because the problem as stated is unstable. The best answer will always be ten more than what the other students think the best answer is, and they have the same information as everyone else, which results in a contradiction.However, the average of any set of numbers that includes infinity is infinity, and ? + 10 is still ?. Something similar to this question is found in the title text of [2385: final exam](/wiki/index.Php/2385:_final_exam). postgraduate math students can probably think of very large numbers. While a tempting answer could be infinity, most mathematicians do not consider infinity to be a number,[actual citation needed] but rather a class of numbers. (Writing down infinity in this context would be as wrong as writing down primes or positive integers). Even if infinity is an acceptable answer, some infinities are bigger than others. Students familiar with the field of googology or transcology may give an answer such as rayos number, which was the winning entry in the big number duel. this might heavily depend upon the branch of mathematics you are studying. Named (finite) numbers, or ones with specific and useful notations, might satisfy some questioning contexts, whilst the existence of a whole further set of trans-finite numbers (i.E. Increasingly large types of infinity) would be important considerations in others. For those associated with more computational mathematics, any infinity would be not a number, and their answer might instead be the ceiling of some binary representation (typically 28n-1 for some value of n), the largest unsigned value reliably storable in a given byte form for an integer (e.G. A double quadword)). On the other end of the spectrum, many abstract algebraists might answer with some variation of what ring are we working in, and is it even well ordered? It also might be a trick question: if you can envision a real number greater than one, are you even doing real math (in a given field)? as with the kindergarten question, there may be no previously anticipated correct answer. It could be another correct just so long as you answer it (or perhaps sensibly so) or the mark goes only to those giving the greatest valid number across all submissions. calligraphy(title text)37is a number that some people believemysteriously appears more often than it should; this was a subject of arecent veritasium video.Note that phd cosmology and postgraduate math, unlike the other items, arent specific courses but instead refer to areas of study, and as such wouldnt have a exam (unless a phd thesis defense is considered an exam). this style of final exam question, un-numbered and therefore possibly the only question upon the whole of each final paper, in some ways (for some instances) echoes the question what is your name? That randall will be aware was the sole question given to discworlds victor tugelbend in an attempt to ensure he comprehensively passed (or utterly failed) his final student-wizards exam, after many prior times of deliberately not-quite-passing. transcript[[edit](/wiki/index.Php?Title=2966:_exam_numbers&action=edit§ion=2)] this transcript is incomplete.

If transfinite ordinals count as numbers, then those at the end of list of large cardinal properties take the cake (if im reading it right).

Mk is a standard way to extend zfc by allowing classes as mathematical objects, so on (the class of all set-size ordinals) is a class-sized ordinal. But mk doesnt allow proper classes to be contained in any object, so on+1 doesnt exist except as a definable hyperclass. Thus, on is the biggest number in a model of mk set theory.

She have me an a+. I knew the lower numbers dont actually matter so much, but it still took me until first grade to properly get into the programmatic mindset, and now the biggest finite integer i can properly consider is (2^(2^48)), which... - 10^9-1 = 999999999 - 2^48 = 281474976710656 - and those are the higher numbers, so even though the lower ones are 10 versus 2, its pretty clear which number is bigger, no?

The biggest signed 32 bit integer, 2147483647, is 2^31-1.

Since the question is about thinking how big a number is, i naturally thought that the adequate generalization would be one that focuses on the order on natural numbers, ie. Ordinals.

Since the question is about thinking how big a number is, i naturally thought that the adequate generalization would be one that focuses on the order on natural numbers, ie. Ordinals. In that case, my answer to this question would be the class of numbers i can think of is not bounded, therefore there is no such thing such as a biggest number i can think of. But if i had to write down a big number, i would write ?_{?_{?_{...}}} Up until i filled the page, because thats the most efficient way i know to write a big, *big* infinity. Which is a number. (And im not seven, just to be clear) - in ieee floating point math, infinity is not not a number. The latter is an indication of error (in a context where errors cant be signalled immediately) and an entirely separate concept to infinity. But both are not normal numbers. Or even denormalized numbers. Floating point math is a whole lot trickier than it appears to be at first glance, and only extremely tangentially related to mathematical reals. -- [172.68.205.54](/wiki/index.Php/special:contributions/172.68.205.54)00:48, 1 august 2024 (utc) - if i write a song titled infinity that was part of an opera, then it would be a number.[162.158.175.141](/wiki/index.Php/special:contributions/162.158.175.141)13:26, 1 august 2024 (utc) a number, by definition, is a construct used to classify and/or compare values. How rigorous this needs be for one limits the extent to which they accept things as being a number. Even things like apple could be interpreted as (dimensioned) numbers, with a possible value being 1 fruit; in that regard, one may consider things like apple=orange
