I only ever saw the Bob Avakian followers who sometimes pass out flyers outside Annenberg. They are like the vegans who pass out photos of tortured chickens or the pro-life protestors with photos of aborted fetuses. No one wants their weirdly cultish literature.Their physical location in Harvard Square closed only a couple years ago: Revolution Books in Harvard Square to close - The Boston GlobeThe economist most Harvard students learn from is N. Greg Mankiw, who [officially] teaches introductory economics. One could conclude that he is the most influential econ professor there, in terms of molding young minds. As someone who has worked under George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, he is certainly not a Marxist. He also literally wrote the book on intro economics (Introduction to Economics).That’s not to say there aren’t students with much more socialist leanings. When I was a sophomore, this happened:2011 student walkoutOn November 2, 2011, a number of students in Mankiw's Economics 10 class walked out of his lecture. Several dozen of the 750 students participated.Before leaving, they handed Mankiw an open letter critical of his course, saying in part:we found a course that espouses a specific—and limited—view of economics that we believe perpetuates problematic and inefficient systems of economic inequality in our society today ... Economics 10 makes it difficult for subsequent economics courses to teach effectively as it offers only one heavily skewed perspective rather than a solid grounding on which other courses can expand. ... Harvard graduates play major roles in the financial institutions and in shaping public policy around the world. If Harvard fails to equip its students with a broad and critical understanding of economics, their actions are likely to harm the global financial system. The last five years of economic turmoil have been proof enough of this.The students concluded their letter by stating they would instead be attending the Occupy Boston demonstration then under way. Counter protesters showed up in that class and Mankiw replied to his students in an article in The New York Times.An editorial in the student-run Harvard Crimson condemned the protest. Harvard Crimson in its editorial stated that:While it is true that Professor N. Gregory Mankiw, who was lecturing during the walkout, has conservative views and held a position in the Bush Administration, we take issue with the claim that his class is inherently biased because he is the professor and author of its textbook. The truth is that Ec 10, a requirement for economics concentrators, provides a necessary academic grounding for the study of economics as a social science. Professor Mankiw's curriculum sticks to the basics of economic theory without straying into partisan debate. We struggle to believe that we must defend his textbook, much maligned by the protesters, which is both peer reviewed and widely used.Furthermore, the students protesting the class who desire that he give more time to other, less accepted schools of economic thought—like Marxism—would do well to remember that such interrogation is the domain of social theory, not economic theory. Supply-and-demand economics is a popular idea of how society is organized, and Mankiw's Ec 10 never presents itself as more than that. As such, including other theories would simply muddy the waters of what is intended; Ec 10 is an introductory class that lays the foundation for future, more nuanced, study.That being said, even if Ec 10 were as biased as the protesters claim it is, students walking out to protest its ideology set a dangerous precedent in an academic institution that prides itself on open discourse. This type of protest ignores opposition rather than engages with it. Instead of challenging a professor to back up his claims, it tries to remove him from the dialogue.They did eventually end up creating space for dialogue on income inequality, the financial crisis, and so on, in the form of invited lectures from professors at Harvard (incl. Law and Kennedy Schools), NYU, and Boston College. The line-up of talks included “Heterodox Economics: Alternatives to Mankiw’s Ideology”:This was the time of Occupy Harvard (not the same as “Marxists” but presumably close enough for OP). Hilariously, campus free speech was then an issue raised by the political left, because the administration was doing its best to minimize the visibility of the protest (and largely succeeded): Harvard Faculty Debates Free SpeechAnd just for fun, the breakdown of graduating seniors’ jobs that year, with a healthy fraction going to finance even post-financial crisis:

Because it’s cake, your/her pictures are worth more than 1,000 words. Too many baking experts out there are all about “look how pretty my cake” instead of how it is going to taste and how it smells. Make sure that every description includes what it takes like and what it smells like. “Chew up a chunk of dark, strong chocolate and then take a sip of rich coffee. THAT is what my cake tastes like.” See what I mean?Get over onto LaunchRock and create a 1 page lead magnet that brings the customer right to your website.Set up a Pinterest account and put on at least 1 dozen cake images. These images must convey a cake for an anniversary, a birthday, a bar mitzvah, a graduation, a Sweet 16, a first job, a new card, and every holiday known to man. These all become lead magnets, flyers and handouts in standalone ads as she needs them.In my neck of the woods, there are 22 custom cake bakers who are also executive or private chefs, restaurant owners, bar owners or some sort of food consultants. Find out if there is another talent that complements her cake mastery talent and combine that so she does not get pigeon holed.Very carefully position 3 small cameras around her work space as she creates a cake. One records for a movie, one takes timed shots and someone else uses the third to take random shots. The movie opens with her talking about how cake enriches the celebrations in people’s lives. The timed shots because a slide show (minimum 30 slides) on the website. That last set of pictures is the foundation of a tutorial that she will create targeted at budding bakers (children). That opens up an opportunity to bring in a Girl Scout troop to teach once a month. It is also the start of a webinar on baking ingredients.

Ah, wing warping!For my friends, the story of wing warping: the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!A month after receiving pamphlets and a list of books on human flight from the Smithsonian Institution, Wilbur and Orville Wright were already at work attempting to build a flying machine of their own.It was not a full-sized glider but rather a small biplane with a five-foot wingspan that was to be flown like a kite.The cloth-covered wings, shellacked to make them airtight, were trussed with wire from side to side.The connecting uprights were hinged, so the upper wing could be moved forward or backward to control the vertical upward or downward movement of the machine.Lateral control, the kind exercised by a bird to turn or change direction, was another matter.In airplanes today, it is achieved by moving the ailerons on the trailing edges of the two wings in opposite directions.The fact that an aircraft alters the angles of its wings in order to turn or restore balance is fairly obvious today ... but it was not so in 1899.According to Wilbur, the Wrights discovered the birds’ method of lateral control one day while observing a flight of pigeons.When a bird wanted to change direction, first one wing would go high, then the other.What the brothers realized was that, to execute a particular maneuver, the birds curved their wingtips at opposite angles, and then when they had turned or righted themselves as much as they wished, reversed the process to maintain balance or go the other way."Thus the balance," Wilbur explained, "was controlled by utilizing dynamic reactions of the air instead of shifting weight"Having grasped the concept, the Wrights remained puzzled as to how to attain it.During the summer of 1899, Wilbur stumbled onto the solution while working at the bicycle shop.While selling an inner tube to a customer, Wilbur removed the tube from its long, narrow box, and, as they chatted, he began to absentmindedly twist the ends of the box in opposite directions.As he did so, he suddenly visualized the box as a biplane, with the top wing connected to the bottom wing by the sides of the box.By twisting the corners of the wings in different directions—just as the pigeons did—he reasoned that lateral control could be maintained.From this grew their concept of warping (twisting) the wingtips of a flying machine to vary their lift laterally and so achieve roll control.This wing-warping was the foundation of their success.It was a revolutionary step; most earlier experimenters had not appreciated the need for aerodynamic control but had apparently assumed that a flying machine could be expected to be naturally stable.That night, when he showed the box to Orville, his brother agreed, and they decided to use this "wing-warping" principle in their new glider, using a series of warping wires that ran through pulleys to the wingtips.A major problem in achieving controlled flight had been overcome.The Wright Flyer wasn't very good at turning. Anything more than a slight bank angle and it falls out of the sky.But nobody ever said the Wright Flyer flew well. Its claim to fame is that it flew at all.The bracing wires seem impossibly thin, and the wing-warping control hinges creak as they move and twist the trailing edge of its delicate wings.But for all its fragility, it's still a remarkable creation.It may have had roller-skate wheels for chain guides, bicycle chains driving its slender, wooden propellers, and only enough performance to lift a single pilot weighing 150 pounds or less. But it incorporated ingenious and effective solutions for some of the most difficult obstacles to controlled, powered, winged flight.[There are only two guys who have built more Wright brothers’ airplanes than Ken Hyde and his Wright Experience team: Orville and Wilbur. Hyde’s count so far is 21. They include all the gliders built between 1900 and 1911, three 1903 Flyers, the long-lost 1908 Fort Myer Flyer, and four 1911 Model Bs (one with an original Wright engine).]On January 13, 1908, the Anglo-French sportsman-aviator Henry Farman finally won the Archdeacon prize for a one-kilometer flight.His modified Voisin plane had no capacity for banked turns, but he traveled forward for 500 meters, made a wide, flat, somewhat clumsy turn, flew the necessary 500-meter return, and landed softly, thus satisfying the requirements.Almost four years had passed since Archdeacon had announced the prize.Two years had passed since the Wrights had rejected his challenge to fly publicly in France and take home the $10,000 that a French citizen had now won.The Europeans filled the continued silence from Dayton with raucous self-congratulation.A confident Farman issued his own daring invitation—to a speed-and-distance contest between himself in a Voisin and either Wilbur or Orville in their Wright Flyer. The competition would be held in France and offered a prize of $5,000.A month after Farman’s one-kilometer flight in France, the Wright brothers went to work on the project they had waited years to arrange. Orville would demonstrate a plane for the army that could fly forty miles per hour, with an improved thirty-horse-power engine.The pilot controlled the Model A from an upright—not a prone—position, using control sticks to maneuver the wing-warping system, the elevator, and the rudder. They had designed this Flyer with a second seat and dual controls for instruction purposes and expected no difficulty satisfying the U.S. Army’s evaluation team.Meanwhile, a French business group had agreed to manufacture the Wright plane—on license—with the French war department as their target market.Wilbur sailed for France, not to compete against Farman, but to demonstrate the Flyer in a business proposition.On Saturday morning, August 8, a crowd began to gather at Les Hunaudieres racetrack near Le Mans, about 115 miles southwest of Paris.Archdeacon and Bleriot joined other curious onlookers who stood around all day until, in the late afternoon, the weight in the launching derrick dropped, and Wilbur Wright flew the machine they had all waited to see.One minute and forty-five seconds of flight dispelled the doubts that had clouded the Wrights’ reputation.On September 21 Wilbur stayed in the air for a spectacular and record-setting hour and a half.The Wrights prevailed as the world’s top-ranked aeronauts in 1908, but the accolades obscured the very rapid consequences of the demonstration.The French, who had not caught on to the technology of lateral control even with the published patent documents, saw wing-warping in action.They quickly adapted the mechanism to their own planes and experienced the exhilaration of true flight.Wilbur's demonstration flights released a burst of creative energy inspired by personal and nationalistic competitiveness.The Voisins improved their machines and opened a sales office in Paris.Bleriot incorporated a wing-warping control and a dependable engine capable of hour-long operation into the Bleriot XL. Leon Levavasseur built an innovative, graceful monoplane and named it for his daughter.The 38-foot-long Antoinette IV had a 42-foot wingspan and a lightweight aluminum engine.The pilot sat behind the wing, rather than in front, as in the Wright plane, and used wheels on either side of the fuselage—instead of handles and cables—to manipulate the rudder and the ailerons that replaced the wing-warping.There was a good deal to be said for it as a method of control in those early times.Wing structures were usually flexible anyway, so that warping merely made use of this—whereas ailerons on a flexible wing merely induced control reversal by acting as tabs; or rather, no control, since the wing flexure tended simply to cancel out the aileron's deflection.Warping’s great defect was real control reversal near the stall, where increasing the angle of incidence of one wing simply tended to stall it.It was for this reason that the cunning Wrights rigged washout into their wings.Monoplanists tended to prefer warping, since their wings were the most flexible of all. Antoinette monoplanes, with their beautiful long wings, employed a large control wheel with the warp cable wound round a drum, an irreversible winch-like form of lateral control made necessary by the wing’s tendency to “trample,” or thrash about from one limit of flexure to the other.Under the threat of various lawsuits brought by the Wrights, the French had already started moving away from wing warping to ailerons.But the real aerodynamic reason for the death of wing -warping was the rising speeds of later aircraft, particularly for the races.Thompson Trophy Race 1933: “Banked to the left of No. 4 pylon. The bank increased even with controls reversed and it was necessary to throttle to regain control of the airplane. Obviously the geared engine could not be used in the race. Not because of any torque difficulties but because wing warping at high speeds induced the aileron reversal. This condition became critical at about 260 M.P.H…..”
