Red Rope’s 7th Annual Steel Eagle
The joint venture between SpaceX and NASA, once again, resulted in a successful endeavor to the skies and beyond on Oct. 5, as the astronauts of Crew-5 blasted off to the International Space Station. This launch comes after multiple delays have plagued NASA and SpaceX during September. The original date was scrapped because of damage acquired to the Falcon 9 Booster during transit to the Kennedy Space Center. Then, Hurricane Ian forced the extended delay of not only this Crew-5, but Artemis, which has now been pushed back to at least late November. The four members of the crew include Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada from NASA, Koichi Wakata from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Anna Kikina from the Russian State Space Corporation, Roscosmos. Crew-5 serves as a milestone for the future as Mann takes on the role of the first woman in command of a SpaceX mission.
Furthermore, Mann became the first Native American woman to ever travel to space. Despite the increasing tensions between the U.S. and Russia, Kikina is the first Russian national to join SpaceX on a mission of this type. This sends a clear signal to the world that the long-lasting space partnership between the two global superpowers will not be degraded by international affairs. Over 200 scientific experiments will be conducted during the crew’s stay aboard the floating laboratory. Some of these include studying heart disease and testing the ability to print human organs in space. The mission is expected to end in March of 2023.

A Recap of TNG’s 2022 Comedy Magic Stunt Show Spectacular Salim Roig Senior Reporter
Do you love magic, comedy, and most of all, juggling? If you said yes to any of these questions, then the Touch-N-Go Magic Comedy Stunt Show Spectacular was the place to be for you. The event started off with famous illusionist Noah Sonie. Known for his performances in many magic shows such as Penn and Teller, Noah brought a whimsical and chaotic energy to the show. He performed mind boggling magic that was fun, regardless of whether this was your first magic show or if you are an amateur magician yourself. His tricks included setting a dollar bill on fire (only for it to mysteriously reappear from thin air!), using the art of hypnosis to make someone feel what someone else 20 feet from them were feeling, and accurately guessing whatever someone was thinking of. With these acts the crowd was left mesmerized and stunned as

The vast majority of United States presidents have been members of a fraternity. Even if you don’t aspire to become president, Greek life offers a number of advantages for sorority and fraternity members. Yet, many students may avoid Greek life, assuming that it is all about cliques and partying. Despite these negative preconceptions, Greek life does offer many social, academic, and professional benefits to its members.
The formal installation of a social network is certainly a core and often-noted benefit of being in a fraternity or sorority. Concerns about being away at school with no friends are unpleasant for many students. Joining a fraternity or sorority can be a proactive way to avoid social isolation, or simply a way for a socially-inclined person to immediately build a bond with fraternity brothers or sorority sisters. Subsequently, Greek life organizations usually engage in planned social events and activities. Here at Embry-Riddle, members engage in retreats, planned chapter or Greek life socials, dances, and intramural sports.
As a veteran member of a fraternity or sorority, you have the opportunity to run for an officer position, such as president. This offers a great leadership development opportunity. Greek life members also commonly become more active school leaders and involved citizens in the community. Greek life members tend to be overall more active in the college community than non-members.
A benefit of Greek life that contradicts common public perception is academic support and improved academic performance. While the media often displays the party atmosphere of fraternities and sororities, many hold group study sessions and provide internal tutoring for members. The blend of social belonging and academic support systems undoubtedly contribute to this success.
Joining a fraternity or sorority also provides advantages for finding a career after school. Long-running fraternities and sororities usually have a strong connection to their alumni. Alumni are great networking resources if you find one in your field, or in a company you have interest in working for. Greek life members also engage in community service and other on-campus activities, which looks good on a résumé. No matter your major, views, or background, connecting with fellow brothers and sisters is always valuable.
Shema Embry-Riddle Noah Cooperman Staff Reporter
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, has its own community of Jewish students and faculty members; the Prescott campus also has a Hillel group, but it is still very tiny. Located within the Center for Faith and Spirituality next to New Residence Hall II, ERAU Hillel meets every Friday night from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for Shabbat services and then Saturday nights for Havdalah to light candles, say prayers, drink a little wine (it is permitted for religious reasons), and schmooze. The group started only a few years ago with merely four students, who came to Reverend David Keck and requested to start meeting each Shabbat. The group has since grown, and this year is the largest it has ever seen with over 20 participants weekly, enough for over two minyans. There are more in the GroupMe chat; non and partial-Jewish students are also encouraged to join services. The ERAU Hillel Chapter has connections with families not affiliated with
the school, who regularly host students (sometimes overnight) for meals on holidays, such as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. Speaking of Sukkot, ERAU Hillel tries to set up a Sukkah every time the holiday rolls around on the North/South Walkway, for all to enter and study or eat, regardless of belief.

Furthermore, ERAU Hillel helps students attend services at local synagogues, while trying to accommodate all forms of Jews. Every Passover, ERAU Hillel reserves a room so students and faculty can gather for a Seder, where everyone reads the Haggadah (the Passover prayer book) and eat traditional food brought by attendees. The next time you have nothing going on during a Friday evening, feel free to pop over to the Center for Faith and Spirituality, put on an Embry-Riddle kippah if you choose, and join the weekly service. L’chiam!

Gaming on the Same Level Amanda Dhanpaul, Zoe Messenger, Carmen Van Ommen Graduate Researchers Introduction To Assistive Technology
Assistive Technology Options
Imagine: it’s Saturday morning, and you’re relaxing in your dorm room after a long week of college classes and studying. One of your roommates is using Slide-to-Type to send text messages to a friend; another roommate is catching up on the latest episode of House of the Dragon with the subtitles on. You might be thinking to yourself, “I’d really like to unwind by playing my favorite video game.” All of the electronics that you and your roommates are using this morning have assistive technologies available that may make life easier for yourselves and other people. An estimated 12.6% of people in the United States reported having a disability, according to a 2018 survey. People who have disabilities often experience a lower quality of emotional and mental health, in comparison to people who identify as not having disabilities. Assistive technologies are equipment or products that are used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of people with disabilities. They can also help people with disabilities navigate life with a greater degree of comfort. Assistive technology can include things such as automatic doors, closed captioning or subtitles, and word-predictive text input mechanisms. There are also many assistive technology options that exist solely to help video gamers who have disabilities, so they can have more rewarding gaming experiences.
Page 16
Adaptive Gaming Devices for Motor Disabilities by Input Method
People who have hearing impairments can choose from assistive technologies such as subtitles, speech-totext, screen alerts, and technology that transforms audio into light pulses or vibrations. Haptic technology, such as vests and other wearables, takes advantage of users’ sense of touch by generating vibrations that deliver more immersive experiences in gaming. Lighting kits can transform music and sounds into light pulses which can help convey information such as detection by an enemy unit, for example. As useful as these technologies are, they have limited compatibility for video games at this time.
Gamers who are visually impaired often use screen readers, screen magnifiers, and software that transforms text into auditory form. Both built-in and independent software options are available. Gamers who experience motor disabilities may choose to modify standard technology, perhaps by installing more input sensors and rebinding commands to those sensors, or they may choose to purchase commercially available hardware. There are hardware options for people who are left-handed, need their controller to be physically stabilized, have use of only one or no hands, and/or have limited neck-down mobility. Notable ways to input information include tracking of the orientation of a player’s head, eyes, or facial expressions. Voice, sips, puffs, and lip movements can also be used to input commands. Unique among assistive technology is the Xbox Adaptive Controller, which has several different ports for accessibility switches that accommodate a number of motor disabilities.

Abandonment of Assistive Technology There is a relatively high rate of abandonment of assistive technology. The most common negative causes for abandonment of assistive technology are that the technology is difficult to fit into a person’s daily life, does not fit the user’s needs, and/or takes too much time to learn to use. However, the person may no longer need to use the assistive technology, which would be considered a positive result. In the case that assistive technology is abandoned prematurely, users may experience feelings of loss of autonomy or freedom, financial loss, or general disillusionment with assistive technology.
To prevent people from experiencing such distress, people who create assistive technology should take care to consider attributes of assistive technology users and caregivers. Developers should consider the functional limitations of users, possibilities for customizable and easily assembled tools, and convenient options for technical support and repair. How to Evaluate Assistive Technology One way that we can evaluate the user experience of assistive technology in gaming is through different research methods. This could include interviews, out-of-box evaluations (a concept similar to electronics unboxings that are popular on Youtube), heuristic evaluations (similar to a checklist of best practices), user testing, or using scales or questionnaires. These can allow researchers or developers to identify problem areas to encourage their improvement.

Accessible Gaming at ERAU The Student Union hosts a gaming lounge equipped with the latest gaming platforms. Their consoles are equipped with standard accessibility features. When a student shows up for their reserved time slot at the Video-Game Lounge, they will be allowed to use two standard controllers for the console that they have reserved. Students are not allowed to bring their own controllers, but the Gaming Lounge is open to receiving requests. The Gaming Lounge aims to provide a positive gaming experience to all students and knowing about assistive technology can be one of the first steps to doing so. Page 17

Records were shattered in one of the best tournaments by the Embry-Riddle men’s golf team to date as the Eagles finished fifth at the Shark Invitational on Oct. 4. The field was stocked full of elite competition, featuring four of the top eight teams in the NCAA II and six of the top 25 with one participant in the receiving votes section of the latest national poll. Two records were obliterated during the third round of play. As a team, the Eagles shot an 862, besting the previous 54-hole mark from the 2004-05 season by 12 strokes. A big contributor to ERAU’s record-breaking performance was Ian Aldarondo, who improved on a program record he already held – the lowest individual 54-hole score. Three consecutive rounds of sub70 scores allowed him to shave another four shots off the record to 205.
Women’s Cross Country A plethora of Embry-Riddle women’s cross country runners posted personal best career times at the Florida State Invitational on Oct. 7. The Eagles finished 10th overall in a field of 30 teams, beating out several NCAA I and II squads including Florida Gulf Coast, Jacksonville, Jacksonville State, Valdosta State, Bethune-Cookman and more.
Rounding out the ERAU scorers were Anna Miller (18:58.5) and Caroline Harris (19:04.7) in 75th and 79th position, respectively. For Harris, her Friday time was more than 41 seconds better than her previous top time. Photo Courtesy / Maggie Allen
Ariana Anderson was the top Eagle finisher on Friday, posting the best 5K time of any Eagle this season with an 18:35.7, 15 seconds better than her previous seasonbest time. Anderson finished 48th overall, followed by Mackenzie Keller in 58th. The true freshman ran an 18:47.2, also a PR, while Kelly Steffens (73rd - 18:57.5) shattered her career-best time by 26 seconds. ...................................................................................................... Men’s Rowing
Chase Nilsson (coxswain), Igor Martinovic, Blake Paynter, Ognjen Srbinovic and Vaclav Kuncak set a blistering pace early on.
