Cepheids provide insight into both star formation and stellar evolution. Multiwavelength studies supply binary/multiple properties for these reasonably massive stars, which allows the exploration of differences between between high and low mass stars formation. We are conducting a survey of Cepheids with the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) to identify possible resolved companions, for example Eta Aql. X-ray observations (Chandra and XMM-Newton) can confirm whether possible low mass companions are young enough to be physical companions of Cepheids, hence providing constraints on star formation. In a related study of intermediate mass stars, Chandra X-ray observations of late B stars in Tr 16 have been used to determine the fraction which have low mass companions (which are X-ray active in contrast to the late B stars which are X-ray quiet). Cepheids have long been used as benchmarks for evolutionary calculations where a measured mass can be combined with a luminosity for an evolved supergiant. The basis for observed masses is ground-based orbits. We discuss the combination of new velocity data from the Moscow group and the Tennessee State Automatic Spectroscopic Telescope (AST) and the new the orbit of V350 Sgr, as well as other recent developments in measured masses.

It has been six years since the AGN winds in the Caribbean conference that was dedicated to AGN outflows. Many interesting results based on Chandra, XMM, Suzaku, HST, FUSE and ground-based observatories, as well as theoretical insight, were obtained over this period of time. The AGN winds in Charleston is a relatively small workshop dedicated to the physical characteristics of AGN accretion disk winds - the structure, ionization state, kinematics, energetics, driving mechanism and their interaction with their environments. The workshop is scheduled to take place from Saturday, October 15 through Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina. The conference organizers will host a welcome reception on Friday evening, October 14. The workshop will have contributed talks + posters but no invited talks. We have allowed for long coffee breaks, a long lunch interspersed between scheduled events all day long, with one afternoon off for seeing the sights in historic Charleston. Graduate students are encouraged to attend this meeting.

Copernicus Science Centre, the largest science centre in Poland operates in Warsaw since November 2010 hosting over 3000 visitors per day. The main facilities: interactive exhibition, four laboratories, planetarium, as well as many events (Science Picnic, workshops, meetings, conferences, science shows) attract and gather wide audience around science-related topics. Copernicus Science Center’s mission will be described and several examples of educational activities of the Center will be presented.

Modern planetarium offers not only view of the night sky from any position at the Earth surface, but it is also time-space travel machine. Contemporary digital projection systems allow to get fully immerse into presented world. The Heavens of Copernicus planetarium is equipped with such a system so it is capable to give interesting educational shows and combine it with deep aesthetic experience.
