First Seven Graduate with Advanced Industrial Process Control Certificate
Seven students completed the Advanced Industrial Process Control certificate on December 18, 2016, becoming the first group from Mid-State Technical College to complete the grant-funded certificate. Sara Altmann, Joshua Dhein, Jordan Djumadi, Austin Lewandowski, Christopher Panko, Sean Schanes and Nicholas Tomsyck were all honored at a recognition luncheon at Mid-State Technical College's Wisconsin Rapids Campus. The 12-credit certificate program ran from January 2015 to December 2015.
Instructors with significant experience in the field use hands-on training on state-of-the-art equipment to teach about automation processes common to food, chemical, paper and other industries. Students learn how to reduce time on maintenance and troubleshooting, strengthen computer network and proprietary control system skills, increase production and decrease downtime. The certificate offers course times that are
employer-friendly, and students complete it in one year or less.
Development of this certificate was 100% funded by a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration in the amount of $894,000.
Individuals and companies wishing to learn more about the Advanced Industrial Process Control certificate should contact Jessica Planer, Grant & Project Coordinator, at 715.422.5405.
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Holds Internship Fair
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) held its first ever Information Technology (IT) Internship Fair on November 2, 2015 in the Corporate Conference Center on the Green Bay Campus. Seventeen employers and over 55 IT students and instructors participated in the event.
The goal of the IT Internship Fair was to develop IT internship opportunities that will provide relevant work experience and potentially lead to full time, permanent positions upon graduation. The event was sponsored by the INTERFACE Project, a Department of Labor TAACCCT grant funded program.
Internships are an important way to enhance classroom learning and gain real world experience. They also allow students the opportunity to beef up their portfolio or resume and make valuable industry contacts that can be essential to landing the ideal job upon graduation.
Our NWTC students were very pleased with the employers and the quality of internships they are offering. One student had this to say, "Congratulations on the really nice IT internship fair. It was very helpful to get to know the employers in the region, some of which are doing really exciting work."
Companies were eager to meet with our NWTC students, commenting that they were well-prepared and professional. The Internship Fair provided an opportunity for students to learn more about employers in Northeast Wisconsin who are seeking well-qualified IT professionals, while showcasing NWTC's talented students. As a result of the IT Internship Fair, 10 students had internship leads to pursue and three have already been hired!
NWTC plans to continue hosting the IT Internship Fair as a yearly event and expects employer and student participation to continue to grow.
Northcentral Technical College Computer Club Connects Students with Employers and Alumni
Northcentral Technical College (NTC) currently has ten different Information Technology (IT) associate degrees in specialized fields. To give students firsthand information about the job market and help connect them with potential hiring sources, the NTC Computer Club frequently invites local IT employers to share information about their companies and areas of IT in which they may have future openings. The employers also often offer advice for students looking for job placement after graduation.
The club recently invited representatives from D.C. Everest School District to present on employment and internship opportunities for students in the IT field. One of the presenters was William Mead, an NTC IT-Network Specialist program graduate. It was a nice tie-in for the 31 student attendees to hear from a successful NTC alumnus.
SAY IT IN ENGLISH, PLEASE! Written Communication Contextualized for Information Technology (Help Desk)
In an employment setting, Help Desk students are asked daily by managers, staff and customers how to solve information technology problems. "Written Communication Contextualized for Information Technology" provides students with multiple opportunities to write about those very problems, practicing and perfecting their English writing skills while completing 16 assignments and exercises that reflect the "how to" questions and challenges they will encounter on the job.
Writing assignments in "Written Communication Contextualized for Information Technology" are designed to help IT students analyze a document's audience and purpose and craft the same technical content for those multiple audiences. They focus on how to "Say it in English" for the technical or non-technical reader. For example, assignments challenge students with current real life examples and students learn to describe and explain technical definitions ("What is the cloud?") or write detailed instructions on how to use a multi-function printer. Students practice adjusting the content of their work for their varied readers, which may include technical staff, customers, website readers, general newsletter readers or administrators.
Some of the projects the students tackle include ticket writing (when they receive a customer call that has to be recorded and documented and handed off to the proper staff to fix the problem), technical definition writing, summarizing, developing technical instructions and drafting, documenting and editing copy suitable for website postings.
One assignment that students had great fun with was defining and describing a current technology (we tackled both Twitter and Netflix) and everyone aced this one with their technical understanding of these widely used media. However, instructing the assigned audience (the president of a college or your grandparents for example) in step-by-step instructions on how to use the technology proved more challenging. In small groups the students critiqued each other's work. One student, whose results were indeed clear and easy to follow, even tried out her instructions on her young children. Whatever it took, the class focusing on expanding the definition of a technology to a set of instructions that included illustrated guides ended with fine sets of instructions. Next time the class may tackle that elusive remote control or, as one student suggested, the class could rewrite those "some assembly required" instructions that make young parents put those computer toys and devices right back on the shelf.
After the definition and instruction assignments, students had this to say about writing for different audiences:
"The most valuable assignments to me were the technical definitions. These assignments gave me an opportunity to write the same thing but two different ways. The assignment allowed me a chance to see how words had to be different/changed for the specific audience at hand."
Another student added, "I did find the technical definitions along with writing instructions and procedures to be the most valuable. This was because the assignments helped me focus on who my audience was and at what level I needed to write."
Last semester we piloted the "upgrade" method for all assignments. Students worked on making mechanical and grammatical changes on their initial submissions, but more importantly, they adjusted and refined the message for our varied technical and non-technical audiences. Students were given multiple opportunities to rewrite assignments until all of the readability, English grammar or composition "bugs" were out of their papers. This aspect of the course also gave everyone more practice with group collaboration, peer review and revision practice. The "upgrade" method was successful and well received; it will be an important part of the next class!

Wisconsin Career Pathways Website
Fox Valley Technical College's Learning Innovations Center, the same innovative team that brought us the statewide WICareerPathways.org website, is turning its attention to expanding the adult portion of the site as part of FVTC's work on the INTERFACE project.
From the current homepage, adult career explorers can easily create an account and jump right into taking the Career Cluster Interest Inventory. The survey helps individuals identify which career areas (clusters) might be the best fit based on activities, personal qualities and school subjects. Once adult users complete the survey, they land in a cyber space known as "My Locker." From this secure portal, users can view their survey results in rank order and explore careers and college programs within the National Career Clusters© framework.
Technical college counselors, WIA case managers, representatives from the Fox Valley and Bay Area Workforce Development Boards, the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce, and Scott DuBenske, Wisconsin Technical College System Education Director-Career Transition, Workforce Development, comprise the WICareerPathways/Adults Steering Committee, which is led by Jay Stulo, FVTC Director-Learning Innovations Center, and Marge Rubin, FVTC Director-College and Career Pathways.
The collaborative efforts of Steering Committee members will drive the design and development of a dynamic, data-driven portal built specifically for technical college and workforce counselors, advisors and case managers who reach out to the career explorers they serve. Stay tuned for the launch of these exciting new features and functions on WICareerPathways.org/Adults.
Veteran Makes a Career Change to IT at Blackhawk Technical College
When Terry Williams decided to attend Blackhawk Technical College for training as an IT-Network Specialist last fall, he went "all in" and registered as a full time student. Terry wanted a change both personally and professionally, and looked forward to the options and opportunities available in IT. While taking courses such as Information Security Principles and Desktop & Server Hardware, he soon faced challenges both academic and personal that made him reconsider his plan to graduate in two years with an associate degree.
Fortunately, the INTERFACE project at Blackhawk Technical College employs IT Lab Assistants who provide instructional assistance during and outside of class, and an IT Outreach Specialist who helps current and potential students navigate the services available to them on campus and in the community.
Terry, a U.S. Navy veteran who previously worked in construction, contacted Carissa Johnson, the IT Outreach Specialist. She had visited each class in the fall to introduce herself, and Terry met with her regularly over the semester to plan his next steps. This was Terry's first educational experience in 25 years, and he decided to follow the IT program's three-year plan instead of graduating in two years, in part because of family and scheduling issues. Carissa also connected him with a number of veterans' services in the area.
Terry also worked with the IT Lab Assistant in his classes, Scott Wallace. Scott is a current IT student at Blackhawk Technical College and will graduate in the spring. He understands the difficulties of juggling home, family, work and school that many technical college students face. Scott and his fellow lab assistants are present in the classroom during instruction, and they hold open labs outside of class time that students attend as needed. Regarding the lab assistants, Terry says, "With a lab assistant, I didn't have to wait to have my questions answered. And the open labs aren't just equipment sitting in a room; there is a person there to help us with assignments. Students have lots of questions." Scott also helped him with assignments when Terry missed class, which he found very helpful.
Terry says, "I could have bailed, but I got past the matter of pride and the extra help was great. It was good to have someone to go to."
The INTERFACE project employs seven part-time IT Lab Assistants in four programs: IT-Network Specialist, IT-Web Software Developer, Computer Service Technician and Manufacturing Information Technology Specialist. The IT Outreach Specialist is a full-time position that assists students in all IT programs, and also recruits potential students. These eight staff members are available to assist all students who participate in the INTERFACE grant project at Blackhawk Technical College.
Two Brothers and a Shared Love of Information Technology
For those of us who grew up battling our siblings, being around brothers David and Lee Teddy is fascinating. Even after spending nearly all of their time together – eight hours a day training to become IT professionals as part of Gateway's INTERFACE project, working at McDonald's on evenings and weekends and living at home with their grandmother – the brothers get along so well they share an iPod in shifts.
(Photo courtesy/property of Gateway Technical College.)
Lee, the younger brother, explains: "Our relationship is more like a friendship than just brothers. Supposedly, my mom said, the moment I was born David smiled at me. Which I assume was an evil smile because we give each other a hard time all the time. But we also work together on our projects. And we're interested in different things: he can figure out things I can't, and I can do things for him he can't."
Their passion for figuring out how things work began in elementary school. "The things that seemed to come naturally to us were computers," said Lee. "It was also the fact that our grandma didn't like them very much which made it seem like a forbidden thing."
But the brothers have had to be more resourceful than most tech enthusiasts. Despite being without internet access at home, David has become a software developer; one of his free apps for jailbroken iOS devices has already been downloaded nearly 30,000 times. Lee, on the other hand, loves hardware. In high school, he pieced together several laptops found at the town dump to build the personal computer he still uses today.
This camaraderie and collaboration is exactly what we hoped to achieve when Gateway decided to offer a new IT Junior SharePoint Developer technical diploma, developed with TAACCCT 3 funds, in an intensive cohort learning model: full-time, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. for 15 months. "I know that Microsoft designed the SharePoint software to help teams of people in businesses work together," said Lee. "So it makes sense that we're students learning SharePoint as a team, too."
Even if they won't be spending so much time together in the future, both of them are looking forward to using the credentials they earn at Gateway to get good jobs in IT. "We would still be working at McDonald's trying to save for an education if this grant hadn't come along, so I think we know what a big deal this is," said David. "It's good to know there are companies who need us once we're done with this program."
And Lee agrees, "I want to be independent. I want to create things and not have to worry about money. I think I can use what I already know and like doing and add the stuff we're learning now to have a stable rest of my life."

Mai Lee, Northcentral Technical College
Mai Lee describes, in her own words, how her technical college education was good decision.
Mai Lee was looking for a career change – and a challenge. So she chose to enroll in Northcentral Technical College's IT – Software Developer Associate Degree program. Now in her third semester, she's glad she did.
"One thing I like about this program is the instructors," said Lee. "They are super helpful and always willing to help. They respond back to email and Skype quickly. Even after hours they're still helping students from home."
Northcentral Technical College (NTC) offers several programs for students interested in pursuing a career in software development including an IT – Database Software Developer Associate Degree, IT – Mobile Software Developer (Advanced Technical Certificate and Associate Degree options) and IT – Software Developer Associate Degree.
Lee stated that coding has always been interesting to her. She'd like to start out as a .Net developer or client-side web programmer and ultimately work her way up to project manager. And the combination of great instructors and robust curriculum in the IT – Software Developer program, along with NTC's outstanding relationships with local employers, sets her up for success.
"NTC works really hard on building relationships with our local businesses to secure internships for students," Lee said. "Watching my peers getting IT jobs after graduation is very reassuring. NTC really does care for their students and puts our education first."
Virtual Welder Allows Individuals to Try New Skill
Moraine Park Technical College (MPTC) was a supporting partner of Project Grill, a program of the Fond du Lac Association of Commerce that pairs students with area manufacturers to introduce them to the field. While high school students were highlighting their finished grills outside a local grocery store, MPTC staff encouraged students, parents, local employer representatives and the general public to try the virtual welder. It was a fantastic opportunity to talk more about the industry and the job demand for more skilled welders in the area. Individuals not only had some fun, but they also walked away with important information on how they, or someone they know, can engage in a 15-week program that will lead them to a promising career in welding.

How Do You Wire Solar Panels To A Battery?
Question: I know solar energy systems use arrays of
batteries to store the sun's energy for later use, but I'm
not sure how they are hooked up. How do you wire solar panels to a battery?
Answer: The two important types of wiring systems are series or parallel wiring. To wire two devices in series, you connect the positive terminal of one to the negative terminal of another. In series wiring voltage is additive while current is constant.
To wire two devices in parallel, you connect the positive terminal of one to the positive terminal of another, as well as the negative terminal of one to the negative terminal of another. In parallel wiring voltage is constant while current is additive.
Click Here for the Most Comprehensive Solar Panel Installation GuideVoltage multiplied by current equals power. When you are shopping for a solar system, you will first have to decide on a voltage. Typical solar energy systems are 12, 24 or 48 volts.
When connecting your solar panels to your batteries, you need to make sure the voltage of your panels matches the voltage of your batteries. Batteries usually come in 4, 8 and 12 volt varieties. So using either series or parallel wiring (or a combination of both) you can easily create a battery array that matches your solar panel voltage.
To physically connect the two devices, simply connect the positive wire of your solar panel to the positive terminal of your battery, and the negative wire of your solar panel to the negative terminal of your battery.
If your system is over 12 volts, it is recommend you also wire a diode in between the solar panel and batter array, to prevent current from flowing back into the panels when the sun is down and the batteries are charged. The diode can be installed on the wire connecting the two negative terminals.
Fortunately solar energy systems are available as DIY projects for the fix-it-yourself consumer, and these kits help you determine the correct voltage and current settings based on your needs, as well as cut back on initial costs.

Unfair game in Golden Palace Casino
This is what happened, their live game experienced serious technical problem lately, and I believe they shouldn't launch it on if that's the case. Yet they still do, for a player who bet base on 'up as you lose' this is very dangerous, because what if I bet many consecutive losses then finally I want to bet my last one and I got logged out by the dealer? This happen many many times. But those were the times I didn't really want to bet anyways, so I didn't think of anything about it. BUT last night, TWICE I had 5Continue reading »
How to Win in Casinos Games of Chance vs. Games of Skill
Most of us, we go to play in casinos for fun to mingle around with the crowd and we know that the money we wager is paid to the casinos for the fun we have. Some however, believe that casinos can provide them with decent living, because they believe that they can win money in casinos permanently. Myself, I never tried to become a professional gambler and make my living by spinning reels and counting cards at Blackjack. But, there is a fundamental thing that a gambler should know.

The Contemporary Princess
Friday, May 4, 2012
14 comments
Awesome post, as always. I couldn't agree more. Although I do like a spunky heroine (can't stand Princess Buttercup in the scene with the ROUS's...I just want to scream "It's OK to pick up the sword and STAB the stupid thing before he kills Westley!" :-)), this whole reimagined princess/heroine thing can really get annoying. Anyway, fantastic post!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much, Alexandra.ReplyDelete
I always like the "spunky heroine" no matter if she is stereotyped or not - if the girl is simply screaming in the back-ground, it can get really annoying! Yelling at them, "DO SOMETHING!" sometimes does seem appropriate. That is fact. ;-)
I am so glad you stopped in to share your opinions: thanks!
If you must confess then so shall I: fairy tales are my favorite too! I have seen the Princess Diaries, but not Mirror Mirror yet. And I do agree:sometimes you want to shout at princess characters to "DO something." We ought to be princesses that DO something, not just waiting around for Prince Charming to come. We should realize we already have a REAL Prince- our Heavenly Prince, and head out on our at adventures at his side!ReplyDelete
Aren't they always so fun!? I just love 'em. The trend seems to be bringing them back; there is a current #1 hit show, two new shows that are works-in-progress but are re-tellings of a fairytale, and there are several movies invading the box office. I am so excited. =DReplyDelete
The Princess Diaries is awesome. I haven't watched it in years but I so enjoy it.
It saddens me to know that there are girls in the world who become "desperate" to be just married and say "yes" to the first guy who asks - I look at this time in my life as something to celebrate not be depressed. I want to be as ready as I can be to become a wife - and that means taking this time to grow in a relationship with Christ.
Thanks for stopping in, Rachel - I am glad you did!
Fairy tales are and always will be to me––brilliance. And I'm always happy when they come back "into style". There is much inherently they speak to in our lives but I wont get all philosophical on you haha...I just love this post and as much as I love the girl kicking a*%, well, I still love when that prince rides up to save her too. I'll have a mixture of both, please :)) And keep 'em coming along.ReplyDelete
Jeanine :)
YAY! Jeanine is baaack! It was great to see your name here again. Looking forward to your blogs and thoughts again. =)ReplyDelete
Right there with you, Jeanine - I think fairy-tales are wonderful, and have more to them than just a pretty girl and Prince. I think Mirror Mirror captured a great balance. There were flaws, yes, but overall, Snow was as classy as she was able to defend herself and yet, they portrayed her as a girl who could still be rescued by(use the help of) the prince. Fun movie.
I cannot wait for all of the awesome new shows and movies up-coming that are based on fairy-tales; they all sound and look really interesting.
Lovely to "chat" with you again. =)
What a lovely post. All of this is so true, and something my mom and I have actually been talking about a good bit lately. As I've gotten older, I'd tried to make sure I have a good grasp on my beliefs, and this is something I've spent a lot of thought on.ReplyDelete
Femininity is a tricky issue when it comes to discussing independence, but I think you hit the nail on the head with this post. I personally believe that while marriage is a beautiful thing and it is NOT wrong at all to dream about it, we can carry it to far. We need to be secure in our identity in Christ far before we begin seeking our soul mate. The secret to finding the meaning of biblical femininity is not in our relationship to men but in our relationship to God!
Again, fantastic post. Would you mind if I linked back to it at some point on my blog? I really want to share this with my readers. =)
Thanks, Rissi!
Thanks for this thought provoking post.ReplyDelete
I think that Girls need to let guys act as gentlemen.
Just because a guy helps you doesn't mean he thinks your inferior.
also all girls should act as ladys.
Thanks again!
AnnaKate - aw! Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. This post kind of came out of nowhere. I wrote it up Thurs. and wanted something that I could post the following day, so I went for this. =)ReplyDelete
I don't disagree with that because I know some girls who are being raised in the mind-set that they'll marry (or they are simply "desperate" to be married once they finish their education because that is how they were raised) and be a homemaker. I have no issue with that if that is what you choose but I also think that we should be able to be independent thinkers without becoming women who "hate" men or think that we don't need them as a helpmate. That is not how God intended things to be.
I agree with you: We should be sure of who we are in Christ - that is what I want this time in my life to be about. I want to be as sure as I can about my spiritual relationship before I even consider if I should start a relationship with someone because in the end, the former is more important.
Like anyone else, I have thought about being married or what the guy will be like that I'll someday speak the words "I Do" to, but I still have much to learn. =)
Link: Absolutely you may. I don't mind that at all so long as it is linked back. Thank you for asking, and I am honored that you'd want to share this.
Ella - thank you. I really appreciate you reading it. =)
Women do need to let the man be a gentleman but today so many think they are "super girl" and don't need the help of anyone - especially if they think it makes them look weak. That is such a cliche. Acting like a lady has become rare but it worries me how far we've come from that. I don't think we should still be dressing in bonnets and petticoats but I do think we could benefit from remembering the manners that were from such an era.
Great thoughts all! =)
Great post, Rissi! A woman trying to prove she can do anything a man can do (while performing the role of wife/mother/homemaker) is only setting herself up for unhappiness and frustration.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Gwendolyn!ReplyDelete
I totally agree with you: We cannot do everything a man can, nor should we strive to.
So glad you stopped by! =)
I think that a lot of movies try and have it both ways -- a strong woman but also one that must be rescued. That just doesn't work, at least not for me. I remember being excited when Maid Marion rode out into battle in the new "Robin Hood," thinking how incredible it would be if she got the bad guy -- and then Robin had to come in and save her. If she isn't going to be strong on the battlefield, don't put her there!ReplyDelete
I love the fact that there are so many strong women in fantasy and film now. But the men should become even MORE amazing as a result -- if she is that cool, how cool does the guy who wins over her heart need to be?
I can't do everything myself, and I don't want to. Admitting that doesn't make me weak, it reveals that I am aware of the gender roles that God gave us for a reason.
Hollywood does try to do it both ways - unfortunately (or maybe, fortunately), they usually fail.ReplyDelete
I don't think it is so much "bad" if a strong woman needs help (or rescue) in the end so much as it is if she cannot accept it. Most see the "rescue" as romantic and therefore, they "need" that as a "warm, fuzzy" feeling to close out what has been a good story. (That moment that we can gush and sigh over is always popular in film.)
Excellent point, Charity: How cool does the guy get to be if the girl is such a great character? That bears thought. =)
Accepting help does not make us weak - it is important to recognize that. If we don't, then we'll end up being very miserable. God intended otherwise.

10 Tips To Downsize Your Home Without Losing Your Mind. While other people have that desire to live in a spacious home, some people actually prefer to live in a smaller space. Whether you are moving from a huge home to a small condo or you are transferring to a new space with your partner, you would definitely think of downsizing. Sure, you have accumulated a lot of items for years. But you know that not all of these are actually necessary and when you are downsizing, you need to get rid of some items. If you think of it, it might really be hard to keep all your things especially if you have to let go of some them. As you look around, you would think that looking into all your belongings might drive you crazy. But of course, that is an exaggeration. In truth, downsizing isn't a horrible experience if you think of the better life you'll get after you de-clutter. But of course, before you actually downsize, you have to ponder about it and think of the reasons why you have to take the step. Now, if you are certain about downsizing, we have here some tips on how to do it before you move to the new space.
TRN-Flat Reconstruction Features A Hidden Bedroom Behind A Bookcase. Some buildings may no longer be used in for the purpose that it was built. That is why there are many structures that end up demolished while the luckier ones are merely renovated or reused for a different purpose. In some cases, these are turned into residential spaces just like old churches, barn houses, warehouses and more. What we have today is a former monastery that was transformed into an apartment. We will get a glimpse of one of its interior spaces.
A Contemporary Small Loft Apartment in Taiwan. No matter how small a space is, it can be used as a residence for as long as it is complete with everything that one needs. That is why tiny homes exist because one can really live in it even if it has a small area. Aside from tiny homes, there are also small interior spaces like a condominium or an apartment. People do not need to worry about small spaces anymore because they know that there is a solution to that as featured in many existing apartment spaces. You will just be amazed on how they do it like adding a lofted part for a bedroom or a home office. Still others have many transforming storage spaces and furniture in it.

The summer draws to a close and it's already back to school! Unfortunately, for many young victims of bullying, the school can quickly become a daily hell. Contrary to what one might think, all of us, parents, teachers, friends and extended family can help them return to head high class.
In recent years, the Red Cross provides prevention of bullying and violence programs. We work with young people to help them better communicate and develop better interpersonal skills. In Quebec, last year, the workshop classroom Beyond the suffering of RespectED was attended by over 1000 young people from 10 to 15 years and the number of participating schools is increasing. This fall, we will launch a new package for children 5 to 9 years for the prevention of sexual assault.
Today we are talking about a girl, who is onlly 15 years old. When she Heights High School students was struck and then she did something no one could have imagined.

Teenager Hannah Combs was outside of school with her friends, when suddenly a bully came up from behind and poured super glue on her hair! Hannah had just begun the school year as a freshman – so this was her WORST NIGHTMARE!

China Needs Fewer Skyscrapers, Says Manager of Country's Tallest Building
The man behind China's tallest tower has a message for developers scrambling to erect skyscrapers across the country: Less is more.
At an awards ceremony last Friday for tall buildings in China, the general manager at Shanghai Tower Construction & Development Co. sounded a downbeat note, appealing to his peers to think twice about planning another skyscraper.
"The biggest challenge facing China is how to build fewer skyscrapers," Gu Jianping said during a panel discussion at the ceremony, which was held at the Shanghai Tower.
"Even if you have money, you shouldn't be too headstrong," Mr. Gu said in response to a question on how he would advise a foreign developer who wants to build a skyscraper in China. He said he wouldn't advise them to do so.
China is currently plagued with an oversupply of property across the residential, office and shopping mall sectors, with some cities facing more severe market imbalances than others. Apart from willful building of skyscrapers by property developers and the local authorities, the downturn in the economy has also exacerbated the lack of demand for commercial space.
"A tall tower surely has huge costs and rents would be high. Would there be demand for such a tower? If there is no market, the building will become a ghost tower, or you will have to cut rents, meaning it will fall short of your investment," Mr. Gu said.
Shanghai Tower, which is 632 meters tall and has 121 stories available for occupants, has a total of 576,000 square meters of space, roughly three times the space offered by regular office buildings. The opening of the skyscraper – the world's second-tallest tower, after the 828-meter Burj Khalifa in Dubai – had been delayed to this year from 2015, in part due to safety concerns.
"The construction volume of Shanghai Tower is enormous, with a lot of facilities and equipment, as well as testing and calibration work, so preparation time for operations has been extended," said a Shanghai Tower spokeswoman. "Do you know other super-tall towers globally that have started operations on-time?"
Mr. Gu told the panel that "there is no need to build such a tall building in first-, second-, third- or fourth-tier cities."
"Even in a first-tier city, you can't just build it in any location. A Shanghai Tower works in Lujiazui," he said, referring to the Shanghai neighborhood in which the skyscraper stands. "But a Shanghai Tower wouldn't work on Chongming Island," he added, referring to an island district of Shanghai that houses a nature reserve for migratory birds.
The glut of office towers and slow demand for office space has compelled some developers to slow down their expansion plans, especially in places outside the top-tier cities.
"In some cities where there is weaker demand, we have pushed backed projects or halted them," said Jia Zhaohui, deputy chief architect at Greenland Holding Group, during the same panel discussion. In places where the local economy is still strong, such as Wuhan, work on its skyscrapers will continue, he added.
Some of the property executives also said that height shouldn't be a taken as the sole consideration for building a landmark and that builders need to consider the impact a skyscraper would have on the urban landscape. According to some studies, excessively tall buildings have an alienating effect on residents.
"In a city, a few skyscrapers will be enough, there is no need to build so many. You can build shorter buildings too," said Mr. Jerry Yin, SOHO China's senior vice president and chief architect.
He added that his firm had considered a number of design proposals for Wangjing Soho in Beijing that included skyscrapers that maximized the height limit, but chose instead a three-tower project design by the late Zaha Hadid where the towers are 118-meters, 127-meters and 200-meters tall each.
"We purposely brought the height down so that the city would see gradual changes," Mr. Yin said.

If this is your first experience with counseling, you may feel a little nervous about what to expect. We hope that this introduction will give you some sense of what the counseling experience is like and the framework in which it occurs.
You can either make an appointment by stopping by 113 Walker Health Center or calling the CSC during business hours (Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:00 p.m.). EMAIL IS NOT ALWAYS CONFIDENTIAL. PLEASE DO NOT E-MAIL COUNSELORS.
If possible, please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment, as you will be asked to complete some brief and basic paperwork. This is completed on one of our iPads.
At first, you will have an intake session with one of our counselors to clarify the concerns and/or problems that prompted you to seek counseling. The intake session will allow you and the counselor to determine if the CSC will be appropriate for you to continue counseling, or if a referral for off-campus services is needed. Sessions typically last between 45-50 minutes.
If it determined that you would benefit from continued counseling, you and your counselor will discuss a schedule for sessions, as well as how many sessions you can expect to have for the semester. Typically, students are seen 4-6 times in one semester, depending on the problem. If long-term or more intensive treatment is needed, your counselor will help you get connected to services off campus.
In the beginning, your counselor will help you focus on what you want to accomplish in counseling and help you formulate goals for your counseling experience.
It has been our experience that the more committed you are to actively participating in the counseling process, the more satisfied you will be with the results of counseling. Also, the more invested you are in your own growth, the more quickly you will see these desired changes occur.
Your counselor will help you develop healthy coping skills to help you manage the issue at hand. Some of these skills may or may not work for you, but trying these out will help you determine what does. Try to have an open mind during the process.
Your counselor may assign "homework" to help you reach your goals, challenge yourself to try something new, and hopefully help resolve the issue bringing you in for counseling.
It's our job to make it so that our clients no longer need counseling. You and your counselor will determine when it is appropriate for you to terminate (or end) counseling for this problem.

A couple days ago, our friends took us to Bern's Steakhouse in St. Petersburg, FL. Apparently, if you want a good steak, you go here.
When you drive up, you wouldn't necessarily suspect a gourmet steak restaurant was just inside the doors. One clue is the valet parking out front ($5). They do have a dress code: no t-shirts, jeans, or flip flops. Formal wear is encouraged but not necessary.
Bern's is unique in several ways. First, they grow all their own organic vegetables and beef at their farm. Second, they have the large restaurant wine cellar in the world (more about that in a second). Third, they offer a tour of their kitchen and their wine cellar. Last, they have their own dessert room upstairs.
At Bern's, you dine, not simply eat. Glancing through the menu, I noticed the prices for a steak were anywhere from $20 to $200, depending on the weight, thickness, and cut of the meat. The steak just melts in your mouth–very good. Plus, the service is incredible.
After dinner, we took a free tour of their kitchen. If you want to eventually become a waiter at Bern's, you must work in the kitchen for so many hours, so by the time you're a waiter, you know all the ins and outs of the place. Next, they took us downstairs to their HUGE wine cellar which actually reminded me of a libarary of wines. We passed row upon row of wine bottles.
It was huge. They told us that what we were seeing was only 1/10 of the wine they have–totaling around 100,000 bottles. Many of the wines were bottled 50+ years ago, and we even saw one bottle from 1839!
The wine collection actually dates back to the 1950s when Bern started collecting wine. At that time, he could pick up a bottle for $2 or $3 what would sell for $1,000 now. Many bottles are the only bottles left in the world of that certain vintage, making their prices shoot through the roof. One, albeit, large bottle was going for $60,000.
Last, we headed up to their dessert room upstairs, which is actually a bunch of large wine barrels that create a cozy little nook for you to sit, chat, listen to music, and eat yummy desserts.
The telephone on the back wall you can use to call the pianist and request songs. You can also push the buttons on the left if you would prefer to listen to different styles of music including jazz, contemporary, and pop.
They also have an extensive list of (expensive) wine/sherry/scotch.
I had the creme brulee which was amazing. Seth had Banana's Foster–also, amazing.
Overall, we were very impressed with Bern's Steakhouse. We felt it is a true experience in fine dining. Would we go here often: definitely not. We couldn't afford to, but for the occasional special occasion: definitely.

We strive to create a nurturing environment in which the student's individual development is supported. The pre-professional program provides students with exceptional clarity and strength while encouraging a life-long love of dance and healthy body image. Live accompaniment, enrichment in modern and character dance along with promotion of health and well-being complete the training.
Students enrolled in the pre-professional program build the foundation for college-level programs, conservatory or a professional career. Over 100 students each year are trained in the Vaganova-based progressive curriculum augmented by modern dance and other genres to create the well-rounded dancer. The training is divided into levels appropriate to the age, maturity and dance expertise of each student. Auditions are required for placement and progressive advancement is based on strength, physical development and mastery.
Engagement and Outreach
There is no substitute for actively participating in art. At first glance the biggest barriers to participation seem to be location (transportation) and cost. At St. Paul Ballet we have the good fortune of residing just three blocks off the Greenline LRT in St. Paul. We hold recreational classes and offer the first class free with subsequent convenient drop-in classes at affordable rates. But we have found that a welcoming, non judgmental atmosphere is the most critical factor in participation. To that end, our initiative Take Back the Tutu sets the tone for inclusiveness and values all body types.
The recreational program at the School of SPB serves an additional 300 students and their families in our community through music and movement programs for young dancers ages 4-6, beginning ballet for ages 7-11 and ballet on a drop-in basis for teens and adults who enjoy exercise in its most elegant form.
SPB also serves the broader population of St. Paul and Minneapolis through:
• Saint Paul Public Schools Community Education
• Free public performances at the Landmark Center monthly and at Toddler Tuesdays, Mall of America semi-annually
• Tickets to performances provided to school children and their families in partnership with Project Success which provides transportation and childcare removing the biggest obstacles to families attending dance performances.
Saint Paul Ballet is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Re: SUSANNA ACUFF m. THOMAS A. CRAFT 1789
Betty Frank 4/10/00
In 1787, men living on yjr recently-defunct "State of Franklin" petitioned the Stste of N. Car.
Signing this petition was George Vincent.
In 1796. George and Thomas Vincent a were taxed in Sulliva County, George for 404 acres of land, Thomas for 136 acres. This was the first year there was a State of Tenn.
In 1788, William Goad received a grant for 200 scres on Horse Creek from the Staste of N.Car for his Rev. War service. The grant described the land as being between the dividing line of said Goad and George Vincent.
This was on or near Bays Mountain on which the Goads settled in 1782, William Goad earlier. It is atpresent-day Kingsport, Tenn.
In 1788, Thomas Vincent was Captain of a comnpany of militia tyhat went on the Chickamauga Expedition for 29 days. Two of his officers and several of the privates also lived near Bays Mt. in Sullivan.
I may have sometrhing on the Clarks. Later.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kansas — The Cloud County Community College men's basketball team lost back-to-back games for the first time this season on Saturday, falling 79-60 on the road to Cowley County Community College.
On Wednesday, in a 93-79 defeat to Barton Community College, spotty defense was the culprit for the T-Birds (11-4 overall, 7-4 Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference). Scoring was the issue Saturday as Cloud County, which entered the game averaging over 81 points per contest, was limited to 25 points in the first half and 35.6 percent shooting on the night.
"We didn't make any shots. At the end of the day, especially to win games on the road, you have to make some shots," said Cloud County head coach, Chad Eshbaugh. "We need to make plays offensively when we have the opportunities to do so."
Despite the shooting woes, Cloud County was within striking distance at the end of the first half, down just 35-25. But the Tigers (8-7 overall, 5-6 KJCCC) quickly seized control again to begin the second half.
"We talked at half about how important the first 3 possessions of the second half were going to be," Eshbaugh said. "(Cowley) came out, hit a couple of threes, and we were fighting uphill the rest of the way."
Cowley shot 50 percent from the floor in the second half with a balanced attack that saw five different players finish in double-figures. The Tigers also owned a 44-17 advantage in bench points Saturday.
Sophomore point guard Aamahne Santos led all Cloud County players with 17 points, while his backcourt mate, sophomore guard Deon Lyle, added 12 points.
The T-Birds, currently tied for fourth in the KJCCC standings, will be back in action at 8 p.m. on Wednesday when they host Allen County Community College (7-8 overall, 4-7 KJCCC).

Employee Benefits News
Majority of UK workers lacking energy and motivation
A new piece of research has highlighted a growing concern about the energy and motivation levels of the UK workforce, writes Talk Business Magazine.
According to a recent study conducted by Eden Springs, more than half of the country´s employees lack motivation in their current roles.
The survey of 500 office workers aged 18 to 65 asked respondents to rate their motivation and energy levels during the working week on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest level. Nearly half of those questioned rated their energy and motivation at less than 5.
Interestingly, it was the younger demographic - those aged 18-24 - who were the least energised, while those aged 35-44 had the highest motivation levels, with an average score of 5.9; although this is arguably still lower than desired.
Men fared more favourably then women, scoring an average motivation rate of 5.7, compared with 4.8 for their female counterparts. In terms of location, Northern Ireland appears to be the most productive region in Britain, scoring an average of 6.2; in contrast, the North West of england was the least motivated region, scoring 4.3.
Lack of motivation and engagement in the workplace can have a profound impact on a company´s productivity and overall bottom line. This means that in order to be successful, businesses need to make taking care of their employees a major priority.
Commenting on the survey results, Eden Kafevend´s head of marketing - Peter Sullivan-Stark - notes that they paint "a worrying picture," expressing his concern about "the impact low motivation could be having on productivity levels."
"We have all heard about the impact that sickness absence has on business – according to the Office for National Statistics, 131 million days were lost in the UK in 2013 due to illness. One can only wonder what low energy is costing businesses today," he added.

Welcome to our free European roulette game which is powered by fantastic Net Entertainment software. Thanks to the high quality graphics, Hot and Cold numbers (explained below), Racetrack and customisation options, this is has become our most popular game. Instructions and additional information can be found lower down. Please be patient and give it a moment or two to load.
If you want to play a European roulette game for real money, you can do so at Bovada, the USA's most popular online casino. If you win, they will process your withdrawal within 24 hours with no delays. Play at Bovada
How To Play This Game
Placing a bet is very simple; all you do is select one of the chips, click where you want to bet (more clicks means more bets placed) and you spin the wheel with the spin button in the bottom right corner.
There are several customisation options which you can access in the bottom left corner by clicking on the spanner. You can edit the sound and highlighting settings and you can enable "quick spin". Enabling this means that you don't watch the ball spin around the wheel on every spin which is ideal for players who want to get through hundreds of spins in a short space of time.
Hot and Cold Numbers
This is a feature that many players love. At the start of the game, you'll see 4 hot and cold numbers. This may be confusing at first, but the information you see is based on the last 500 spins from other people playing all around the world.
If you refresh this page (to reload the game and reset the information) you'll see that the figures change (unless no one else is playing). Then once you start playing, the numbers only change in accordance with your spin results. Here's how they work:
Hot Numbers – The top row shows the 4 numbers that have hit the most over the past 500 spins, the second row shows how many times they've hit in the past 500 spins.
Cold Numbers – The top row shows the 4 numbers that have gone the most consecutive spins in a row without hitting, the bottom row shows how many times they've hit over the past 500 spins. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing how many consecutive spins the cold numbers have gone without hitting, unless of course you're counting manually. You can however see how long a number has gone without hitting in our high roller game.
One thing we should point out about the hot and cold numbers is that they don't increase or decrease your chances of winning. Hot numbers aren't more likely to hit and cold numbers aren't less likely to hit; the odds for each number hitting on any given spin are the same as any other European game which is 2.7%. These figures are here for fun and it stands to reason that over the course of 500 spins, there will be some that hit more than others.

Rigontec Starts First-In-Human, Phase I/II Trial of RIG-I Agonist RGT100 and Appoints Eugen Leo as Chief Medical Officer
Munich, Germany and Cambridge, MA, May 3, 2017 – Rigontec, the leader in RIG-I targeting RNA therapeutics, today announced the dosing of the first patient in a phase I/II study with intratumoral/intralesional administration of its lead compound RGT100 in solid tumors and lymphoma. RGT100 targets the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) pathway, one of the most essential pathways in the innate immune system to induce both immediate and long-term anti-tumor immunity. Targeting RIG-I is a novel and distinct approach in cancer immuno-therapy which has demonstrated substantial local and systemic tumor regression in several relevant in vivo models. Rigontec has been spearheading efforts to access this pathway to develop new treatment options and this study will be the first to test the approach in patients.
In parallel, Rigontec announces the appointment of industry veteran Prof. Eugen Leo as Chief Medical Officer. Prof. Leo brings to Rigontec more than 15 years of experience in conducting phase I-III development of innovative anti-cancer compounds such as kinase inhibitors, antibodies, vaccines and antisense molecules, with a major focus on immuno-oncology. He will lead the global clinical development of RGT100 and will report to Dr. Christian Schetter, CEO of Rigontec.
"Rigontec has achieved entry into the clinic within three years since our foundation as a company, which not only is a testament to our scientific founders who have pioneered the approach, but also to our focus and commitment to bring this exciting approach forward," said Christian Schetter, CEO of Rigontec. "We enjoy a first mover position in this pathway and look forward to initial results. Having Eugen join Rigontec with his profound developmental experience at this significant stage to support our clinical progress is very valuable and we are pleased to welcome him to the team."
The first-in-human study of a RIG-I agonist (RGT100-001; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03065023) is designed to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of RGT100 in patients with injectable solid tumor lesions. The multi-center study is conducted in immuno-oncology experienced centers in the United Kingdom, Spain, France and Germany and will include a dose-escalation part as well as several expansion arms.
"I am delighted to join Rigontec at this point in time. Targeting the innate immune system via RIG-I has the potential to open up a completely new chapter in immuno-oncology", said Eugen Leo, the new CMO of Rigontec. "We aim to demonstrate in this phase I/II trial that RIG-I activation can not only engage the innate immune system to safely eliminate cancer cells in patients, but also that this new treatment modality can be combined effectively with existing successful immuno-oncology treatments."
Dr. Eugen Leo is a board-certified Hematologist and Medical Oncologist, Professor of Medicine and targeted therapy development specialist. Previously, he served in various positions with growing responsibilities up to Vice President level within both biotechnology (Micromet) and large pharmaceutical companies (Johnson&Johnson, Merck-Serono). He has been instrumental for reaching proof-of-concept for the BiTE platform (blinatumomab) and development of various other first-in class molecules in the immuno-oncology space. He studied medicine at the Universities of Freiburg, Münster, Heidelberg (Germany) and Cincinnati (USA). Dr. Leo is ESMO-certified, holds an M.B.A. from Colorado State University, is founder of LeoConsulting/Munich and currently also serves as Head of Clinical Development for Isarna Therapeutics GmbH, Munich.
About Rigontec
Rigontec is the leader in RIG-I targeting therapeutics. Utilizing our proprietary RIG-I agonist platform, we harness one of the most essential pathways in the innate immune system to pioneer a novel immuno-oncology treatment approach. Rigontec's proprietary agonists specifically activate RIG-I, inducing both immediate and long-term anti-tumor immunity and have proven substantial local and systemic tumor regression in several relevant in vivo models. In addition to malignant diseases, our innovative bifunctional RNA molecules can be developed for the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Dinner at a Bletchley Park Inspired Pizza Express
Pizza Express is one of those restaurant chains that now appears on every high street up and down the country and they all look and feel the same.
