Hi, Dr. Jared here and today's Friday flop is on tooth number B here This patient actually presented to me in 2019 and it was a referral from another dentist Prior on tooth number B there had been a slot prep and we don't do slot preps in primary teeth So the tip here is to go ahead and make that a occlusal extension We end up treating both these teeth with crowns and then also be at that time I treated with the MTA pulpotomy and we were able to get that kid to a point now here in 2023 where we were able to maintain the space and maintain the tooth So this could have been avoided by a correct preparation of the primary tooth or by going to a stainless steel crown immediately in the high-risk kit Have a great Friday


How's it going everybody? Dottodoi here back with another Dragon Ball Fighters update video for you all today and this is a huge one as with this video we will be taking a massive stepping to what the community is now calling Season 3.5. That is right we now have access to the full patch notes that are going to be coming out along with the update that will drop with Roshi on September 16th or somewhere around that area. Now as always with these patch notes videos we are going to be going through them entirely and talking about who the winners and the losers of the patch are but this time around I also thought I should mention here at the beginning that for the most part these patches were mostly all buffs which is a really good thing because as you know at the state of the world recently it's mostly been online competition so it's really hard to actively gauge what stuff you should actually be going after in terms of nerves don't get me wrong there's still a few in here but for most of these characters you're going to find that they either don't get mentioned at all or if they are they're just getting buffed now unfortunately that might not be true for one of my favorite characters in the game but we'll get to that when that happens it's a big one though we'll talk about it when we get there so with all that out of the way let's go ahead and start things off with the very first panel we got to see which went over some system mechanic changes Super Saiyan Goku and Super Saiyan Vegeta really the only system mechanic change I'm interested in talking about is the fact that every single sea assist in the game that's right every single one of them was buffed to speed up the attack startup obviously this is a very good thing I don't know if some sea assist deserve this buff there's a lot I'm going to be scared of now like some of the really good ones like Super Saiyan Vegeta sea assist every beam sea assist I don't know you guys can let me know down below in the comments what sea assist you're looking forward to trying out or what sea assist you're most afraid of but that is pretty much the only thing I wanted to cover in regards to the system mechanic changes moving on to a character that I know everybody had their eyes on Super Saiyan Goku we all wanted to see what they were going to do with his 2M aka his crouching medium attack and the answer is they have sped it back up now it is not his season 2 2M in no way actually in fact if I'm going to be honest here I still think it's pretty bad but it's way better than what we had in season 3 season 3 I mean we all knew it was bad already but after seeing this it was like okay we definitely got it way way too bad so while I don't think Super Saiyan Goku is going to fully recover he is definitely showing considerable progress and maybe one day they'll revert it back to season 2 but until then we'll just have to take this crouching medium attack that gets slightly sped up now though we do still keep that bonus range added in season 3 so that is a positive other than that there's not really too much to talk about with Super Saiyan Goku the Kamehameha is kind of an overall character change that won't affect most people his A assist got a bug fix and his B assist got slightly faster so everything good for Super Saiyan Goku pretty much exactly what you would hope for that his 2M got faster but I was still hoping to see a little bit more in that area Super Saiyan Vegeta is another character that didn't really get touched at all in fact he only got this one line where final flash is a little bit faster now this is for those areas where sometimes after certain moves your final flash would be super easy to with this is designed to counteract that but that's about all this is designed to do so Super Saiyan Vegeta kind of sits on the bench for this patch and then in direct stark contrast to someone like Super Saiyan Vegeta who didn't really get touched we have Piccolo who for some reason got a lot of buffs this character is crazy now to be honest I might think that just because I already thought very highly of Piccolo before this patch came out but this does a lot to improve him including demon slicer buffs new ways to charge his attack this character overall might be the winner of the patch I'm still not entirely sure if I place him as a character I thought improved the most because of this it's going to be interesting to compare to some of the other stuff we're going over here but pretty much all of these are meaningful buffs other than the small hell zone grenade asterisk here where it will no longer explode if the attack is successfully reflected but really that's just a small visual mix up that's kind of gone from your opponents now and I kind of think that's fair I don't know I don't really put too much stock in that I think Piccolo players are going to be more than fine with the rest of these buffs but I mean what a win for Piccolo players the other two characters on this panel even can't compete with him so I won't really go into some of these you can read them right here I will make a small note that they have in fact slowed down the startup of Teen Gohan ceases which I think is good because you know it's a very very good ceases but I do still think the ceases is going to be more than fine so I wouldn't worry if you use Moving on to the third list of changes here I honestly don't have too much to say about this page Ginyu got some more options added to his B assist that rotates out the Ginyu force which is pretty interesting to me Trunks got a huge buff in the form of his change the future assist getting even better than it already was Cell received some buffs and the reason I said I can't talk about it too much is because as somebody that doesn't play Cell too much I'm not really sure what these buffs to perfect attack mean for his overall play style but obviously any buff is better than no buff so I'm sure Cell players will definitely take that and then 18 on the bottom there actually just got a new mechanic added to her destructo disc when the destructo disc hits the ground it will now cause an explosion now obviously force the opponent to keep blocking etc etc making the overall projectile a little bit better so that actually is something I'm interested seeing how that is going to work out now but I overall I don't think it's going to have a huge effect on the way 18 plays so on this page I would definitely say that in my mind Trunks comes out on top just because again that change the future assist is already so so good so it getting better is just that much of a plus for Trunks players and now we get to talk about another big winner of this patch and that is Gotenks who again I already thought was pretty good so so far Piccolo and Gotenks are two characters that I already thought were pretty top tier and are only now getting better with the inclusion of some of these buffs in season 3.5 let's go over a few of these going down from top to bottom so standing light attack follow-up Justin the knockback on that they actually made it easier to connect into galactic doughnut making new combo rats possible for the character every version of Miracle Super Punch caught a buff light great special rolling kick caught a buff galactic doughnuts can now cause happy birthday combos or double Sunday combos I just why he was already so good so yes go tank players are another group of players that took a very big W today so I yeah I guess that's really all I have to say on go tanks a great character that just got even better okay now we've reached one of the very first personal slides for me obviously we had Super Saiyan Goku but now we are getting into Krillin and you guys aren't gonna believe this but they buffed this male I don't know I don't know why they did this but they buffed Krillin a lot look both his standing medium attack and his standing heavy attack got increased distance do you know what this means one of the big complaints about Krillin was that his moves were very stubby now to be honest I never thought his standing medium attack was that stubby but now it's a completely different bug look at the comparison between the old and the new here the heavy attack is even crazy it's like a Napa heavy attack other than that Krillin got nothing else other than the fact of this comment that you can now move left and right while jumping which is also pretty huge I just I really don't know why they gave this to Krillin I mean I appreciate it but Krillin was already very good and he's only getting better Krillin I think he's S tier I think he's I think he's up there other than that Majin Buu got kind of skipped this patch which is a shame but to be honest I already think Majin Buu is pretty well off if you know how to play the character and Napa caught some pretty sizable buffs in the form of his arm break nothing too major which is okay because I think Napa is pretty I think Napa is as good as he can get unless they give him something really really wild so I'm not gonna hate on Napa for getting this arm break stuff but I will be looking forward to seeing some more damage in his combos moving on we are getting dangerously close to the slide that broke my heart during the live stream but before we get to that Android 16 actually got a lot of buffs here now I'm not a 16 player so I can't tell you if this is what the character really needed to finally get some relevance back but they are making improvements to some moves that I really wanted to see get improved like his down heavy in the air I think that's going to increase the amount of sliding knockdown which it mentions there hopefully this is almost like a Broly 2h now I would love to see that happen other things I'm excited for in terms of what Android 16 is going to be getting his hell heat move now can pretty much OTG off a sliding knockdown which I think is going to be really interesting and he also caught a buff to his ASS so very good stuff I'm hoping this is what 16 players were looking for I somehow believe it might not be everything they wanted but I don't know any any amount of buffs that can get this character back up to some form of relevancy would be very much appreciated and I don't even play the character and now I'm just gonna take a different tone for the video because Yamcha unfortunately took a very big loss today I think this might be one of the standout nerfs of the patch and that is the fact that his Wolf Fang Fist flash which is the EX Wolf Fang Fist has an increased delay when the attack misses now that is a very innocent looking couple of words they're increased delay when the attack misses so right away when I was watching this live I thought okay you know yeah I get it it's a very strong move when you with it you can just recover and do it again I love doing that in fact one would say it was my predominant strategy with the character and then they put up a before screen and I knew I was dead so let's just roll the clip and see what Yamcha looks like I don't know if you drop oh no no they're gonna be bad if they're showing a before and after oh no oh it's gonna be it's gonna be a 2M for Super Saiyan Goat don't do it that is going to be a huge deal for Yamcha and the only other thing he got this patch was it a bug fix to his B assist this was not Yamcha's patch guys this was not Yamcha's patch and I don't want to make it sound like he's going to be a bad character because really they didn't change anything too too big about him but I don't know I I know I said they didn't change anything too big about him but this is like a big deal to at least me the way I play on to this is a big deal it's going to take some adjusting the character still good he's got that Wolfgang fist assist but this is the biggest challenge I faced as a Yamcha player which maybe says something about how lucky the character's been but this is gonna be rough this is the Super Saiyan Goku 2M of Yamchas why can't they leave my characters alone man just stick to buff it I'm like Krillin luckily much like Krillin the other earthling in the game Tien got a ton of buffs in fact Tien got a man increased damage on farewell Tien which is the Chow Tzu move he loses less health on his tri beams all of the volleyball fist got buffed his damage got buff his do it on Ray got buff Tien got what do you want me to say everything about Tien got better I don't know if this is going to get more people to play Tien because I think one of his main problems is just that he's kind of a boring character overall he only does one thing really which is volleyball fist as you can see a lot of these moves it's volleyball fist volleyball fist volleyball fist but if you already like Tien he's just going to do more damage and less damage to himself and overall is just a much much better character and I will definitely be looking at him a lot more in season 30.5 for sure adult Gohan got nothing in fact speaking of clips from the stream let's actually roll one where we were getting very excited for what Gohan could get done to him especially Lotus who wanted to see what buffs this character was going to get since he's been behind seeing Gohan for so long and we were just getting off of Tien and then instead we saw this that would not have been as funny without the setup yeah that was just very unfortunate timing for ultimate Gohan so another character that just sat the patch out really moving on to our next slide this is actually one that I'm going to entirely skip I'll flash it up on the screen here just in case you are playing one of these characters and would like to read them but in essence hit got a bunch of stuff that I don't really think the hit community really wanted to see I think there were other things that they really wanted to see addressed and they kind of avoided those so that's unfortunate and Goku blue just got up a bunch of assist changes so also not really going to impact the character but both of them are pretty decent so it's not the worst thing in the world the next slide after that is actually entirely dedicated to Vegeta blue so Goku blue and Vegeta blue are two very different stories here overall to break down all of this information very shortly Vegeta blue mostly got buffed in ways like after Keyblast he wasn't really able to 2h Super Dash but now you can actually cancel out into things like big bang attack and other moves that kind of stop Super Dash in his tracks so already that's a really big thing for this character is going to be playing a bit more of that Zona role and really leading into that but also his dash kicks were buffed up so when you do eventually go in and try to get those mixes on they are also going to be improved Niagara pommel also got a full screen I mean you can practically hit this move from full screen now you aren't going to be missing it just the insane distance increase itself was crazy and then he also got his final flash sped up much like Super Saiyan Vegeta so overall I already thought Super Saiyan blue Vegeta had some stuff to him already but this should definitely help this should definitely help in some meaningful ways on our next slide we have a couple of characters that I know people were really looking forward to seeing if any of them got changed and the answer is yes Bardock be assist did in fact get nerfed not in the fact that how long you have to block after you get hit by it but the assist no longer tracks which I think is fair I did suggest that probably that was going to be the only thing they change about that move and lo and behold it is the only thing they adjusted which I think makes it a much more fair and honest assist now even if it still sucks to block on this page the only other thing we really have to talk about is the fact that Beerus got a huge buff to his assist and his crouching medium attack is now much much better and we should also address the elephant in the room that Goku Black didn't get anything dude he got nothing to his name Goku Black got no additional changes and spoilers for the rest of this video but Goku Black stands a very real chance of I mean we're going to have to see how it shakes out but he stands a very real chance of maybe becoming one of the worst if not the worst characters in the game so it's getting scary for Goku Black now he's got to get a buff soon he really needs some help our next four characters are Broly, Vegeta, Blue, base Goku and base Vegeta and for Vegeta and Broly really nothing has changed they are very much the same characters as they were but base Goku's B-Assist now builds a full bar instead of just 0.75 bar when you use his B-Assist which I thought was very notable that assist was already pretty crazy to me and has only gotten crazier so base Goku B-Assist moving up in terms of viability and base Vegeta actually gets a pretty sizable nerf it now takes longer until base Vegeta becomes invincible and if you miss the attack the delay of it is even more so really base Vegeta kind of guy hit with the same treatment Yamcha did which is gonna be huge for the character as well everything I said about Yamcha kind of comes back to apply for base Vegeta if not even more because of the invincibility delay I don't think it's going to hurt the character too much because overall I think he's just a little too good for it to really knock him down a peg or two but it definitely hurts it definitely might question his spot as the number one in the game up next we have cooler Android 17 and Jiren who all got some pretty decent stuff cooler less so than the others he now is actually just able to do his normal grab level 3 instead of it having to be a counter on the ground which is more just the quality of life buff but Android 17 got some crazy stuff man he can now use his wreckers in the air and out of his dash in the air so he can just come down on people with an elbow which is really really crazy to me he could also just fast fall out of the air now overall this is big for 17 as a mix-up oriented character and he only got better at what he was already pretty good at Jiren on the other hand got some wildly good buffs as well his crouching light attack got buffed which was already one of his best moves his grand charge got an increase on the distance he moves during the attack which kind of scares me I believe that compared that to something along the lines of a cooler 3h which if that's true I am very much scared for this character but overall everything about Jiren got buffed this character might be really scary now he was already pretty good they didn't really address his command grab it did get slightly faster but it's still super slow so yeah man this page scares me Android 17 and Jiren are looking like new beast speaking of new beast we finally have a lot of Videl buffs and these might actually be pretty good for the character I'm not going to pretend like I know a lot about Videl in fact after she came out in a little while after that I kind of fell off because you know unquestionably I believe she was the worst in the game and she still didn't get a reflect or anything but they did make her dodge a little better and they made her records do more damage they increased her jumping to H stuff like that I think that's going to be really big for the character especially the record stuff the damage and making it faster is always going to be good regardless of the move so yeah but Delmane's got to be happy with what they got here purely because of how much they got here this is more attention than Videl's gotten since she released on our next slide we get to the other bottom tier character in the game which is gojita blue and they fixed the main problem with the character which is the fact that everybody thought he was just way too slow I think this might be some of the sleeper buffs of the patch this might be very good for the character purely because of how much they sped up you can see the list of all of the attacks here and you know gojita blue is slow because all of these are pretty much saying sped up sped up sped up all of these are all of these are speeding up so that is very good for the character this is what he needed to be competitive in the meta right now so we're going to see if that works out for him I'm hopeful though I'm hopeful I'm definitely hopeful that these buffs are exactly what he needed to see and the last page of changes here is actually kind of underwhelming because everybody on this page DBS Broly Kevla and UI Goku really didn't get touched which is not shocking at all they some of these characters just literally came out in season three but yeah a lot of people were expecting something for UI Goku but nope nothing about UI Goku but anyway that was all of the details about the new upcoming patch for Dragon Ball fighters down below in the comments let me know what some of your favorite and least favorite changes are and what characters are you excited to play with once that new season three patch drop obviously if we're going to talk about winners of this patch I gotta give it to characters like Piccolo go tanks go Jida blue Videl characters that really got improved TN I forgot about TN Android 17 Jiren those are the really big winners to me and the only two losers I can think about are probably Yamcha and base Vegeta which is unfortunate considering I play one of those characters but uh what are you gonna do dude let me know down below what who you think are the winners and losers and while you're down there make sure to hit the like

Well welcome everybody to our June 1st Friday forum, and we have a great program as usual, but as usual I have some announcements to give to all of you. First, let me just give you the lineup for our first Friday forums for the rest of the year as much as we have them together yet. July we have off, I think everybody knows we take July off in first Friday forums. In August we're working on having either Senator Johnson or Senator Baldwin come, if any of you ever have tried to book events or times with any politician, especially federal politicians, and probably have more success having your teeth pulled. So we're working on that, and one of the two of them we're really thinking we'll have here for the August. We would like to have Senator Baldwin because we've not really heard from her, especially in her capacity as the newest senator. So that's our focus, but as our backup we're looking at having Mary Ispiter, who is the new chair of the committee that Tim Sullivan chaired, working on work attainment and training our workforce for the future, kind of tied with our program for today. So that's the August first Friday forum. In September we're going to have Reed Hall, who's the new executive director of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp, and he'll be here to tell us on how things are going and how we clean things up over there. October we'll have our legislators back for their legislative review, and we'll be near the end of the year, so it should be pretty interesting and be able to give us a lot of good information as to what happened and what will happen in the future. And in November we are going to have, last year in November we started with, we decided to have an economist come in and kind of give a presentation to us about what they thought the economy looked for the next year for Shipwagon County, Wisconsin primarily, and also the U.S. We're going to do the same thing we're still working on lining up that economist. In December we haven't decided yet, so that's still in the works. As far as announcements, a number of announcements that are important to give, the chamber is working on a new CFO round table in full night. We don't have the details on when that's going to be or where it's going to be. We do. The morning of June 20th from 7.30 to 9.00 at the chamber in the large economy. The morning of June 20th. At the chamber, okay. By the way, stay tuned if you're interested for all the details and as usually you can go on the chamber website and get all this information. Focal point. Next focal point is on June 19th, not the next one, but a focal point presentation is on June 19th at 7 a.m. entitled Dex Generation Marketing. Also a focal point plus program on June 11th is entitled Building the Team and the speaker will be Cindy Moncreef. For those of you who are old enough to remember, the early Bucs City Moncreef was the key star of many Bucs teams and so he's going to be here to speak. There's also a chamber member only. When I say chamber member only, I mean the chamber has extended to all of the other county chambers the ability to participate in our chamber events at the chamber rate, an effort to bring our chambers closer together. So for all the chamber members, as so defined, there's going to be a chamber member main stage entitled Fast Forward to 2014 really focused on the health care changes that are going to take place in 2014. That is sponsored by United Health Care again June 20th and probably most importantly lunch is free. So remember June 20th and it's at Pine Hills. So a double benefit. So June 20th, United Health Care is sponsoring presentation on changes in the health care laws. There's a business after hours on June 25th at Bookworm Gardens if some of you aren't aware that that's sort of the new park, Children's Park. Just before you get to UW-Sheboygan, it's really magnificent and you'd enjoy it. Again, that's June 25th from five to seven. And then last but not least, the golf outing is on September 11th and the format has changed this year. So you didn't have the one day where you got to set your alarm and all your clocks whatever so you could call in as quick as you could at eight o'clock. Now it's a shotgun start and so you can just go online and fill in when you want to add your name and everybody will be part of that shotgun start. Right, yeah space is limited so don't wait too long. Usually fills up. Two last things before I announce our speakers.  We took the survey last month and we did listen. One of the things that was requested was cookies at lunch. There were cookies at lunch so remember to take the cookies. That was a relatively easy thing to arrange. And the last announcement I just would maybe just like to bring you up to speed on is I think you all are aware that the Chamber and the Spitz Advocacy Committee has been working on on the issue of Sheboygan County being non-attainment and by that some of you may not know. We, Sheboygan County has been deemed to have exceeded certain ozone levels and so there are certain requirements or restrictions that are placed onto the county. We're the only county in the whole state, the whole county that has that designation. Half of Kenosha County has that and we believe it's very unfair the way they do it because it's based on a monitoring station on Lake Michigan by Terry Andrew Park. So it really is measuring primarily the winds carrying the particulates from the south up here and we live with it. We don't think that's right. We're fighting an uphill battle because we're battling the federal government on this one, the bureaucracy but we're going to fight on even though the chances of success may be lower fighting on and the committee has been working with the EPA and the DNR and we've just finalized a letter that's going to be sent to the EPA. The DNR is actually going to send the letter and we'll follow up with some letters afterward but it's going to ask the county or the EPA to at least release most of Sheboygan County. I'm just going to say primarily from west of I-43. That's not exact but for our purposes here it's good enough. West of I-43 basically take it off non-attainment because we believe that the statistics show that there's reason to believe that that's not the case for that part of the county and then we have to battle on for the rest of the county and in that regard we're probably going to try to ask that a second monitoring station be put in and I'm happy to say that through our state legislative contingent there was the budget had an addition to it that would provide funds to put in a second monitoring station. Now that hasn't passed yet because the budget hasn't passed yet. Mike, right. Yeah, so that's a good news as well. The goal line still is a distance away but we can see the little bit clearer so we'll keep fighting on. So with that we're going to move on to our program and as we announced we have three speakers and we thought again there's a lot of talk about preparing our workforce for our employers in Sheboygan County and we have in our three secondary institutions have actually been working on that. We may not all be aware of that and we thought it's time to bring them in and let them talk about how they're dealing with the needs to educate our workforce to be better able to be employed in our businesses. So we have with us today Jackie Joseph Silverstein who is the dean at UW Sheboygan and we have Lakeland LTC Lakeland Lake Shore Technical College President Mike Lancer and Lakeland College President Dan Eck. And so I think Jackie is going to go first and each of them is going to give an overview of what they're doing and then afterwards we'll have questions and answers so Jackie will go first then Mike and then Dan. So they miss anything? Anybody have anything else to bring up? Okay good with that Jackie I think you have to hold this because it doesn't hold it up here doesn't work well. Thanks Dave. Good afternoon everybody. It's my pleasure to be here today to be able to tell you a little bit about UW Sheboygan and the kinds of things we're doing to try to help provide an educated workforce to the county. Since I'm the first speaker on behalf of my colleagues who are joining me today we'd like to thank the Chamber leadership for inviting us today. And also on your tables we decided not to use PowerPoint because we got the word that PowerPoint isn't necessarily so easy to see in this room and it's such a beautiful day who would want to close draperies if we had them here. So instead what we did was we each provided you with a one page overview of our colleges and you'll find those on your tables. So I'm going to tell you first a little bit about UW Sheboygan in general. I'm thinking most of you know much of this and then I'll tell you about the programming and courses that we're offering and how we believe we are helping to meet workforce needs in this community. As you all likely know we are part of a larger system. We are part of one of the 13 UW campuses and we provide the first two years of a baccalaureate degree to these students in Sheboygan County and other parts of our region as well. There are certain advantages to being part of a larger system, a small campus and a large system and I'll talk a little bit more about those in a few seconds. The UW colleges are a critical part of the UW systems commitment to what's called the original Wisconsin idea and education what that Wisconsin idea meant was to bring the intellectual capital of the UW system to all parts of the state and to bring a UW education to all parts of the state and that's what we're doing at UW Sheboygan. The degree that we grant is the associate of arts and sciences degree and we often call ourselves a liberal arts college and sometimes we talk about getting the first two years of your liberal arts education on our campus and that is indeed true but very often that's a little misleading and that liberal arts colleges very often offer a wide array of courses that can help students to prepare for other careers as well and that's the case at UW Sheboygan. We have wonderful faculty and we teach courses in philosophy and history and sociology, yes but we also offer business courses. You can take three different levels of accounting at our institution. We offer pre-engineering courses and pre-education courses, pre-health career courses. If there is someone who wants to go on to be a doctor or a vet you can do those pre-med courses or pre-vet courses on our campus as well. So there is a significant amount of breadth to the courses we offer although our degree is the associate of arts and sciences degree. You're even able to do something called an emphasis on our campus which is to take three or four courses in a focused area and very often those courses will be courses that will later become part of your bachelor's degree major. By being part of a system we can offer a wide variety of courses that a small school with 800 students might not normally be able to offer. We have open to our students all of the courses within the UW College's online program and in addition we also work with our partner colleges to offer courses that any one of us might not be able to offer on our own because we don't have the expertise at our site or we don't have enough students to be able to offer a course in a cost-effective manner. So our students benefit from being part of a larger system while being on a small campus. Also on our campus just so you know everything that's available there is we do have a continuing education unit that's been focusing on personal enrichment and programming for K-12 students and I'm hoping to bring more professional development activities to the college that employers would like to see us doing and I plan to reach out to some of you over the summer and find out what some of those things are that you'd like to see us do. You probably also know that Extension Services is co-located on our campus and something you might not know is some of our four-year schools have programs on our campus. Platteville and Oshkosh actually offer some on-site programs that I'll talk about in a little bit because they're very much focused on workforce in the community. Who are our students? Well we have approximately 800 students. Those numbers go up and down depending on the economy. 37% are over 22 so we have a fair number of adult students and 54% of those students are part-time. Most of them part-time because they work but sometimes there are students who come part-time just because they can't afford full-time education and they kind of move in and out of the system. So what are the programs we offer and how does the education we provide impact the development of an educated workforce in Sheboygan County? Well as I said we have a very focused mission. We offer the Associate of Arts degree but we offer a wide range of courses that allow them to begin the pursuit of their bachelor's degree. I already mentioned this in addition to pre-education, pre-engineering, pre-health and business we offer all of the first or second level courses in the STEM fields. If you want to be a chemist you can start at UW Sheboygan and get those chemistry courses in the first two years. If you want to be a geographer you can take those courses on our campus. So you can start here and then move on to any one of 200 majors at other institutions and many of those are very related to things people might want to come back here and find their career back home here in Sheboygan. As I said we partner with our four year schools and the interesting and neat thing about those partnerships are those are designed to be seamless transitions. Very often you'll hear students complain my credits didn't transfer. Well if you do one of these partnership programs where students don't have to move to another campus either because we're offering the program on site or the second two years of a program are being offered through distance education you'll have a seamless transfer into those programs. They were designed that way. And those programs include the engineering program at Platville where you can get either an electrical or a mechanical engineering degree. We have about 50 pre-engineering students on our campus and 20 to 30 actually taking Platville courses right now and we're hoping and expecting those numbers to grow as we build our engineering building on campus over the next couple of years. With Oshkosh we offer elementary education and they're going to be launching in the fall a special education program that I believe is going to be housed in Plymouth as well as a human services leadership program which we believe our nonprofit organizations would be interested in and that program is going to be through interactive TV video. Some of our partners are only offering their programs online and many of those programs are in management and business and also in information technology program with UW Milwaukee. So those are two ways that we're trying to meet workforce needs. We are offering a breadth of courses and for example the accounting. You could have a student who's now taken beginning and intermediate accounting with us and you might already have a role for that student in your company so there are opportunities for even our students while they're still in school to have some of the skills that you might need in your businesses. But the third thing I wanted to just briefly touch on before I ended was to circle back to those general education requirements I started with and their value in preparing an educated workforce and you've all read all of the articles about a liberal arts education and does that prepare you for the workforce or does that not prepare you for the workforce and there's a lot of conversation around soft skills and soft skills can range from those behavioral skills like getting to work on time and dressing appropriately for work to what I've recently seen called the foundational cognitive skills and those skills are the critical thinking skills, the analytical skills the quantitative skills, the communication skills there's an organization called ATC which most of you know about because your kids have taken the ATC test which looks at college readiness well over the last ten years or so that organization's beginning to look at workforce readiness as well and they have identified the same areas and have coined that term I believe, foundational cognitive skills if you take a full range of general education courses you're going to leave UW-Cheboygan with those skills the UW colleges has identified certain proficiency areas in which all students will have competency upon completion of their gen ed requirements and those are these foundational skills and the proficiency areas really match those foundational skills analytical skills, quantitative skills, communicative skills and we also have an aesthetic skills category but we don't just say students graduate with those skills faculty have actually developed as they are all over the country now specific performance indicators and rubrics and proficiency is measured using common standards applied across the academic disciplines so students in gen ed courses develop those skills that employers are looking for that are some of the basic cognitive skills so these are the three ways that our campus is helping to develop an educated workforce for our county and I hope that over the years we'll be able to do more with those no commute degree programs so more students can get their degrees right here and get into the workforce right here and also as I said before the opportunity to offer professional development programs through continuing ed, thank you, Mike Thanks Jackie Is this on? Okay, thanks When Jackie and Dan and I were preparing for this I couldn't help but think how fortunate people in this area are to have the access to higher education and when you think about it for just about any career field or any path that you want to take you can get your start here and your finish in the Lakeshore area I hope when you come to LTC if you've been there that you get to see firsthand the type of education that we provide you know when students come in by us we hope that we're enriching their lives but we also hope that we're strengthening their families and their communities and the employers and the economy that they work for it's hard to go through a day without bumping into somebody that maybe went through LTC or went through a technical education when you go to a restaurant when you maybe visit a manufacturer get your taxes done personally if you get in a car accident the people who respond first are all technical college or LTC grads actually I encountered one of our graduates a couple weeks ago on my way to Madison and it just so happened I was going 65 and it was in a 55 mile range and he was doing his job I told him he was doing his job a little bit too good to stop me but whether it's in the rural area on the farms or through our agriculture programs or in the cities you know the businesses that you work in you'll find evidence of LTC preparing that workforce so I was just going to give you a little overview about our college talk about our program offerings and what we're doing in the area of the workforce preparation our main campus is in Cleveland many of you have been there or at least driven by it it's hard to miss with our outdoor wind lab with the four wind turbines that we have on campus and our climbing tower we're also in the job centers in Manitowoc and Sheboyin County and there we provide primarily our basic skills training we last year opened up in conjunction with Plymouth and working with Cary, the Plymouth Science and Technology Center where the school uses the facility during the day and the students train in welding and machine tool and programs like that but we also use it to deliver high speed machine technician training in the evening and other industrial type training in the off hours we just recently opened up the Lakeshark Culinary Institute and I hope you have a chance to visit it is open to the public on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and I think when you're there it really shows you the type of training that we provide so it really mixes the classroom and the hands-on so all the students there right away from day one they're getting the hands-on experience and just about every program we have has either a clinical or an internship or some type of component integrated with it we have a variety of delivery methods whether it's evening, a lot of our courses are blended online our flexibility which combines a number of different delivery methods and our traditional day programs our placement is about 85% and that's how we get measured both here at the state and with the legislature and about 87% of our people who graduate from LTC stay local we also are involved in a number of different community service activities we work collaboratively with Lakeland on the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance Program where our students in the accounting program do taxes for people who have under I think it's a $50,000 income level and we also on campus work with our local dentists in providing dental care through the Lakeshark Community Dental Clinic where we serve Medicaid patients and last year we served over 700 people in that area we have about 14,000 people that will touch a year through our different areas of business our average age is a little higher about 31 we get a portion of students right out of high school but we get people all throughout their careers about 8% of our students the people that we're serving already have a degree and that could be an associate degree it could be a bachelor's degree or it could be a master's degree and we have a significant amount of our students are part-time each one of our programs has an advisory committee which is made up of people like you in the room there are graduates and employers and employees and that's a key part of us staying connected and keeping our programs current so we talked a little bit about our different career programs so we'll have anywhere from accounting to welding to wind energy technology in a number of different areas in business and industry or business and technology, health and human services public safety, energy agriculture and we have some programs that are unique to LTC we have the only wind energy technology program in the state and one of a handful of programs with that capacity in the United States we actually have the longest-running nuclear technology program in the United States on a community college campus we also with our Lake Shark culinary institute there's other culinary schools but we're the only one that's running in a fully operating restaurant and our judicial reporting programs and manufacturing management are unique programs to the state another area of our business is our workforce solutions and this is where our team works directly with business and industry and customizing training to meet their needs we have our programs but an employer when they're asking they might not want the whole program and most of the time they don't but they want a certain piece of that program and we'll customize what we're doing to meet their specific needs we also run seminars just whatever the community needs usually what our seminars are run on are topics that for mainly small employers who might not be able to have enough to have a customized training session on campus and we also have a Center for Entrepreneurship that Kristen Abel actually works with the Chamber and the Economic Development Corporation in Manitowoc County in providing service to those people who are interested in starting a business so when you look a lot of our graduates so she's not only working with people in the community but working with our current students to help them if they have an idea or have a thought on starting up their business we have a number of different certificate programs and certifications we're actually a member of an organization called NC3 which is the National Coalition of Certification Centers and we work with companies like Train and SnapOn to provide certification specific to their industry so if you need to be certified in torque we can do that for you or certified in multi-meter we can do that for you if you need to be certified in tower climbing we can do that certification as well and we have a number of industrial and construction apprentices that we run in collaboration with the Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards and local employers one thing about our enrollments they tend to go inverse of the economy well, our enrollments will drop off because people are working but a couple years ago when we were at the height of unemployment we had about 1600 dislocated workers that were attending and enrolled in programs so our enrollments were at the peak but some of the specific things that we're doing to prepare our workforce is working with our high school partners to make sure that there's a pipeline coming from the schools to higher education into the workforce Plymouth Science and Technology Centers this next year we're going to have 30 students each week from the Sheboygan schools out on campus enrolled in our welding one of them is welding, this year we actually had two students from Sheboygan schools that got their technical diploma in welding two weeks before they got their high school diploma so it's things like that and when you look around at all the higher education options it's really helping students find that right option and what's really going to excite them and what's their passion we're also involved in the youth apprenticeship program we coordinate that in Sheboygan County and that program three years ago there might have been six students enrolled next year we're going to have about 65 and it's a work based learning where they're going to work directly with the employers and also take some courses from Lakeshore Lakeshore Technical College we recently literally rolled out the advanced manufacturing mobile lab and it's something that we worked down with a number of local partners but it's a moving facility that can go out to the schools and can go out to business do training primarily in electromechanical and industrial maintenance and we're also in the process of expanding our programs in CNC and machining which right now there's about 100 job openings in this area we have capacity for about 20 we're doubling that program and we're actually adding another depth to the training we're also doubling our welding program and adding on a fabrication robotic welding to that eight years ago we did not have one full-time welding instructor now we have five so you can just see the growth and the demand for that type of skill and during that we're going to be adding on some square footage it's hard to we can take a room like this and we can do a lot of types of training in here but when you're talking about CNC equipment and welding you need a certain infrastructure so we're moving on that and we'll be breaking ground next month and be ready to start training in January so looking around I see Mike Brookens sitting there and Mike's an LTC grad and actually was our distinguished alumni and after Mike graduated from LTC he was working and he finished up his degree at Lakeland College and became a CPA and is a real leader in our community and so when you look at LTC our main job is to get people jobs and that's what we focus on but we're not a dead end and a lot of times we can be a career, provide a person a career that's going to provide a family supporting wage for the rest of their life but we also can be that first step on other things as well so we're real proud to work with UW-Shaboygan and UW Oshkosh in our collaborative nursing program where students can get their RN at Lake Shore Technical College and work with UW-Shaboygan, UW-Manitok and UW-Oshkosh to finish up their bachelor's degree we have a number of collaborations going with Lakeland where students start at LTC and as they're working can advance themselves as well so I appreciate having an opportunity to share a little bit about LTC and I'll turn it over to Dan alright thank you Mike and thank you everyone I'll tell you a little bit about Lakeland and a little bit about what we're doing Lakeland as you know, hopefully know we're outside of Howard's Grove our residential campus we have about 865 students living there about two-thirds of them live on campus about one-third commute we have a lot of alumni here in Shaboygan County, most of them in Wisconsin as well and some of them worldwide I want to talk primarily today about our adult programs our evening weekend online programs where we're very excited about what we contribute to the economy of the region we have seven centers around the state where people can get their bachelor's degree or a master's degree and we also have a branch campus in Tokyo Japan where you can get a two-year degree but in the evening we can an online program we have several majors you can choose from two of the newest majors we've added are a communications major which focuses on new media which we think is very exciting we have a master's in counseling program we also have popular programs our business programs and accounting programs are our most popular about two-thirds of our students and our adult evening weekend online programs are in a business program of some sort but as you heard Jackie say that liberal arts education that's the underpinning of what we do because when we go around and we talk to employers time and time again we hear they need graduates who can think and solve problems and who can communicate and that's where the liberal arts tradition are in our business program between our traditional campus and our evening program that liberal arts foundation even if they're not going to be a religion major or a sociology major learning to think is very very important because when you have somebody to do a job at your place you don't want them to do just exactly what you tell them to do you want them to go above and beyond that and solve the problems and then tell you what they did and time and time again that's where we're seeing the struggle so that's what we want to focus on we can do is provide degree completion or we can provide degrees from start to finish or the graduate degrees and we can do it face to face in Howard's Grove, our Sheboygan campus or we can do it online and the number one thing we can do right now Lakeland College for the future is be at the table and talk to the employers around here and see what do you need in a graduate from Lakeland College and we're in the midst of a strategic planning process and that's what we're doing we're going around and talking to people what's relevant because the big battle right now is what's the value of a four year degree or a graduate degree the jobs that are going to be hot five years from now, ten years from now you don't know what they are they don't exist right now so we can all put out graduates that can think on their feet and can react and get more education and training as they need it they will be able to fill those jobs when those jobs come up they'll still be in the same industry they'll still be in tourism but you have no clue right now what they're going to be doing you think about how technology changes from year to year we've got a new program now one of the things we're really excited about in our evening program is called BlendEd version 2.0 for a long time at Lakeland we've been allowing people to take courses online or in the classroom they can show up that night or they can say well I can't make it so I can log on from home or I can watch it later these large screens are about six feet long about three and a half feet tall we've got them, we started doing this last winter in about 14 classrooms around the state so we've got this big setup in Chippewa Falls and in Madison and in Green Bay and we find a great professor in Madison who can teach a course that we can't find somebody in Chipp to teach they teach everything they write on the whiteboard or on their computer shows up on this computer screen students in Chippewa Falls they can take that course cameras, audio, they can interact from there and if they want if they can't make it into class they can stay at home and watch on their cell phone or smart phone or on their computer we have somebody taking courses through her son's xbox right now I don't think she can shoot anybody that's version 3.0 we're still working on that but the ability to offer this because then we can find the faculty to teach these courses instead of running a course for five people we can run it for 25 people or 30 people and we're a private college we're not for profit but we're private what that lets us do is reinvest the money we would have spent on offering three courses in offering different courses finding more faculty providing financial aid for students to get them into school so that's what we're quite excited about the strategic planning process because we have to make sure we've got relevant programs every time you open a newspaper you see people talking about is it worth it so that's what we're hitting on we have to make sure it's affordable for people and also we need to make sure we can change our programs we have an MBA is it relevant, does it do what we need to do we're adding an insurance emphasis across our business programs right now Wisconsin is a hotbed of insurance it's just amazing how many companies they have and they've told us they're going to see a labor shortage in the next few years they've got a lot of retirements coming down the pike so in turn we're ramping up our insurance emphasis so we can provide people with the training to fill those jobs and we're working very closely with these insurance companies to do that cyber security is one we're starting to talk about we've got a great criminal justice program we've got a relatively new computer science program it's been around but we're ramping it up now we're building a new lab on campus here this summer so we're going to start talking about marrying those two majors because cyber security is one of the hot areas for the future here and why shouldn't it be here in Sheboygan County we just placed a student intern at boy this is going to get recorded I know the national security agency I can't say anything more about it and the funny thing is he can't either all he can say is I'm going to Maryland to work for the NSA that's all he can say about it but he has a double degree in criminal justice and computer science and that's fantastic we need to think about hospitality management how do we grow that and change that tourism is big here it always has been always will be so we're working on that as well and overlaying all of this are the challenges facing higher ed in general as I mentioned that delivery model how do you get people into the classroom if they can't get into the classroom one of the other new things we've started just this summer in our evening program is seven week courses traditionally they're either 12 or 14 weeks but we found some courses that we believe people can get through and still get a quality education in seven weeks that's going to allow people to move faster to their degree if they can do it if they're smart enough and they're willing to put that work in why shouldn't they be able to take courses twice as fast as other people and get out and get back to work that's something we're very excited about we're going to be expanding that this fall as well our career services department we're reinvigorating that as well because that's an area when you talk about the cost value proposition of higher education if you can't show people working with that degree you know it's still valuable sure there will still be a need for people who study philosophy and sociology and things like that because they become professors I was an anthropology major so there's still value in that you still learn but we need to make sure that people understand what type of jobs you can get and help them find those jobs that's one thing that as you heard from other people up here we're going to be contacting everybody here to see how can we get our students jobs but it's on us to make sure the majors are relevant and that they're skilled enough to get into that workforce so we want to work more on our partnerships here a few other ones we've got a new aviation minor aviation will have a demand all over the world same as insurance and now we're working on trying to make sure we can recruit international students to study in our aviation minor Asia will have an incredible demand for pilots they may not seem as relevant to Sheboygan County as you think but it's relevant to the global economy transport in aviation is a huge huge business if they can't find enough pilots to do it these things made here aren't going to get where they need to be so that's an area of growth for us it brings money into the economy here but overall on top of this we have to think about the quality there are a lot of people out there putting both feet first into online education and adult education the for-profits and some of them do it well but a lot of them do it quick and cheap and they take people's money and the people fail out and they don't get a degree that's worth anything so we have to make sure while we do this we need to flood gates and take people's money and not give them something of value because then we're not doing anybody any good we're not doing the college any good we're not doing the community any good so that's kind of the exciting things we're doing we're going to try to be at the table Lakeland sometimes we feel like we're kind of out in the cornfield but we need to make sure we're in here in town in all the other towns around the county talking to people and making sure we remain relevant we're not going to do everything shaboying and that can do things better than we can do and that's fantastic and that's great for this county so we're content with that we're not going to try to do what they do and we're going to continue to partner with them for the benefit of the county so at this point I think I've said enough and I think I'll turn it over if you have questions for Mike or Jackie and I'll just step aside or me I'll answer some as well so thank you Mike and Jackie would have come up with questions that you might have does anybody have any questions of them Jerry okay question was on what is available for internship programs and probably all of you have an answer for that who would like to go and probably you internships are a big part of your program yeah most of it particularly in our business area have interns and we have somebody who coordinates internships on our campus so we work with the local businesses they call up we try to make a match one specific example is at Jake's Cafe where we have an office at Jake's Cafe and I know Dan does there at Lakeland too so our students whether it could be our web design students our marketing students our administrative professionals work there and they serve as interns to the businesses that are incubating in Jake's Cafe but as I mentioned earlier just about every one of our programs either has an internship component or a clinical component to it I just want to add one thing to what Mike said we do the same thing but where we see this working and I'm sure Mike and Jackie would agree hopefully they would agree is that is a good way for you to test out people and see how they work I was a lawyer in Chicago before I moved into higher ed and as a law student that internship is the way you found your job so the more students we can get trying out your company and you trying them out the better it is since most of what we do are actually the liberal arts we don't have quite a formal internship program but certainly in our engineering program we're beginning to place students as businesses tell us they have an interest in having our students come and do an internship we could do the same thing as I said with business students that kind of thing you want them to identify a person in their agency or in their institution as a contact for internships did everybody hear that okay okay good idea okay right yeah that's a good idea we'll follow up and we'll get something out as far as contacts and maybe other summaries so Katie okay great thanks Steve you know this is probably an example of how the face of higher education is changing almost right from the very eyes of moving you know they have three folks up here representing different campuses and you probably used to be in competition and now it seems like we're getting into more of a collaborative type of setting and that the very idea of surveying the community and then probably trying to provide relevant programming almost seems to be brand new where it used to be we will build it they will come is there anything that the chamber can do to help facilitate that I mean I'm hearing each of you have an advisory board kind of outreach program the interview companies is there a method that the chamber could help to facilitate in terms of roundtables or opportunities for to bring these folks together in one place rather than each of you kind of doing your own thing or is that not been a collaborative yeah I think maybe to summarize is that what can the chamber do to help the two of you or three of you all work together to further educational opportunities in our county so who would like to take that first you know I think Dan and Jackie and I talk and you know that's a key thing right there you know and I think a lot of times if I look and I see you know Kurt Joa in old Wisconsin you both are manufacturers right but you're different I mean you and I think that's the thing we try to say that we each have distinct missions and so I think when we're out there working we're not really doing our own thing you know I think we're kind of you know talking and we may be talking at different levels with different people but I think roundtables help I think having education and workforce is a topic like you're doing bringing in Mary Ice Bister in August so things like that I think help provides good input to the three of us in working with our staff you know trying to meet your needs I know the business education committee that you have is a good way for us to stay connected to business as well I don't know if anybody else I think as any group like the Chamber and other groups here talk about trying to bring business to Sheboygan County in the region any time you want to involve our organizations and talking to potential companies that want to come here we'd be interested in doing that and we've done that at Lakeland with some companies that have been coming in some chemical companies and some faculty and talk about here's what we could provide if you move here so we're always willing to be part of those pitches that you're making to try to get companies interested other questions anybody has okay, no other questions well I think then that's we want to thank Jackie and Mike and Dan for giving us an overview on sort of the things we're working on and I think what we've learned is not so often we don't always appreciate sort of the top notch organizations, institutions we have in Sheboygan County we know we have world class top notch manufacturing service business we just found out if we didn't fully realize that we have top notch secondary educational facilities so thanks again and maybe what I might just sort of end with it was alluded to the Mike or Dan mentioned the Chamber of Business Education and you'll hear more and I don't want to kind of say a lot but the Chamber has been active on trying to bring business and education closer together so that we do a better job of training our people to be working in our industries and I think you're going to probably see some developments in that area in a very short time so there's a community that's very active a group of people who are very active in fact I think they may be meeting today to further those efforts so stay tuned over that corner so with that if no one has anything else they'd like to announce then we'll come to a close and have a great weekend looks like maybe good weather is on its way finally


Hello, I'm Brian Jenkins. I'm a cerebral vascular neurosurgeon that is co-chair of JFK University Medical Center Stroke and Neurovascular Center. I'd like to believe my expertise is all things vascular. I fell in love with treating blood vessels early on in my training. I want to treat life-threatening diseases and pathologies that profoundly alter a patient's life. I want my patients to feel like they can speak freely, be open and honest, and that they know that I'm going to give them the same in return. I found that's the single best way to ensure that whatever I do to my patient remains true to my heart and true to what I would do for my own family. It is incredibly rewarding to change the outcome of a patient. I can institute a surgically therapeutic strategy and see an outcome sometimes right on the table. I can see someone come in with no ability to speak and leave the room after a 30-minute encounter, being able to communicate again. To give someone back the power of speech, the power of using their dominant hand, the power to caress their child, the power to feed themselves, there can't be anything more gratifying in this world.


We're just surviving, people. Surviving. Dodgers about hit the Rockies five to four, but they have stranded seven. There is another fastball for strength to address kids that have been hit. I tell you, surviving just... I won't even show you the laundry pile. Won't even show you the laundry pile. Oh, give me strength. Oh, give me strength.  We use things because we have two monkeys in the house that bounce around the house all day and jump out on everything and they just, they have a lot of energy. Let's just put it that way. So it's time to re-tape the couch again. It usually happens about once every six months. So, you know, keep coming back and see life happening right before our eyes here. Parents that clean up after our children. If we clean up, it means your toys are going goodwill. That's right. They are leaving the house as soon as possible. So basically, there's a black bag underneath this bear in the corner and it's going to goodwill. The boys didn't clean up. They're five and three. They got to learn. So, you know, I'm going to go through the bag and find the good toy, the expensive toys like the trains that we bought for Christmas. Check that out. So, other than that, everything's going to goodwill. That's just how we roll. That's how we roll. If you don't pick up after yourself, it's out of here. Out of here. Swamp, cooler, truffle shuffle. All right, question of the day. What are you looking forward to most this, the most this week? What is it? Who knows? Maybe it's something to work, something to school, something with a fam. Maybe travel. Maybe, yeah. What are you looking forward to the most? I got to think about mine. If I do my due diligence, I'll comment below as I publish this video. Love you all. Love you all.


Thank you very much and thanks, of course, to the Brand Foundation and all the Donor for a You really mean a lot as an early career researcher to get our first funding. So thank you very much So Cerebral small vessel disease is a common feature of the aging brand. So basically is a small brand blood vessel of the brain who get damaged With the aging process and this has been associated with a very strong increasing risk of dementia and increased risk of stroke and Currently, there is no cure treatment for this disease The main approach for the treatment is simply to manage the risk factor So for example people with a patient who have obstructive sleep apnea they tend to develop Blood brain damage and this is a consequence of the apnea that they have during sleep so people with obstructive sleep apnea generally they have a A closure of the upper way when they sleep and if you want this decrease The air flow so they have oxygen dissaturation in the blood And this combined with a small surge in blood pressure at the end of the apnea damage or the blood vessel So this part is this patient are very high risk to develop blood brain damage and on long-term development of cognitive impairment And this is in Australia there is a large proportion of the population who have obstructive sleep apnea And this prevalence is even increasing as the population become more obese So this is a very important for the health problem for the australia However, the good news is if we detect and diagnosis this brain change very early on We know that we can reverse this damage. The problem is currently We rely on imaging technique for the development or the diagnostic of the brain damage But there is no really Ideal imaging technique to develop the early brain damage So at this stage using a routine MRI scan we can only In obstructive sleep apnea patient detect brain damage when it's almost too late to get any reverse change with Treatment management So the aim of this project is really to develop a new advanced MRI imaging technique that we be able to detect the early change occurring in the brain to Hopefully and we expect really improve the disease diagnostic but also improve the treatment strategy So for this model we want to work with patients with obstructive sleep apnea But we really expect our research could be expanding to others population I have in mind a patient with cardiovascular disease in particular who are also at high risk of developing Blood damage in the form blood vessel damage in their brain So, um, thank you very much for your support and uh, I hope we will Make the burn formation very proud Thanks


I think that curiosity is the driver of all innovation. It is inherent to every human being to be curious about one thing or another. When I was a kid, I was always fascinated by technology. I would open up radios to see how the tuner part works and how the amplification works and all these things. My name is David Yee. I am a Berlin-born electronics engineer and I'm an account manager at NI. When I started at NI, it was overwhelming to see all the different application areas that NI is playing a role in, from big machine builders to medical devices to car makers. I see the future being developed on their table. One of my first customers that I supported was from Berlin-Heart. Engineers in broad general view solve problems. That's kind of the most basic idea of an engineer. Combining past experiences and applying them to a new field. One day you have a great idea and if it's great enough, then it starts a whole new project. I'm more like destroying things, to be honest. From school on I started to destroy things, to see how that works which actually fits quite well in the test and measurement department. At Berlin-Heart we are developing ventricular assist devices or VADs which are kind of artificial hearts. Quite often the heart is just not able to pump all the blood a human needs. Right now these devices are only used when the heart is very bad. The big challenge with the heart is when you want to build a device for children we have to make the device smaller. You have to be very careful. You can have the best theories but if you don't test them you never know if it's actually true. And I provide one device which combines all the sensor information and giving us an opportunity to visualize it. All the data we have, then think about it properly. The core idea of testing is to find errors, to fix them. Testing is crucial for the quality of every product that you manufacture especially if those products are medical devices that people's lives depend on. Quality is the crucial element of the product. Elena was born as a normal child. Nobody would have thought that it's her heart that is not working properly. When I worked with Berlin Heart back then I had no idea that this would have such a big impact to my future life.


Hello everyone, this is Amit Dhan of Amitdhan.com you're watching one of my really travel videos on the sovereign hill playlist and today I'm taking to a Ballarat a small gold rush town from 1850s in Australia where history is preserved. In this episode I'll take you inside a foundry in the ghost city sovereign hill. In the old days skilled operators used original ordinary machinery and equipment to produce metal castings. Gold pans and household works made from common metals such as aluminium, iron, bronze, brass, steel, magnesium and zinc. Thank you for watching this video forget about subscribing to this channel forget about liking this video I'll see you shortly


So welcome to our 60th celebration and right behind me is our Tigris ride vehicle So this is part of our newest launch coaster coming this year in spring So Tigris is Florida's tallest launch coaster at a hundred and fifty feet in the air going up to 62 miles per hour So right behind us is the lead ride vehicle This ride vehicle is one of the many vehicles or coaches that go on to the ride track We've got the others already on the track ready to be tested So we're waiting to get everything done and tested. We'll invite everybody back again very soon Hi there, my name is Peter We are here at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and we're looking at our 60th anniversary this year And what a better way to kick it off than with our brew club if you guys head over to Serengeti overlook You guys can pick up your personal Stein So we'll hold on to this Stein for you and anytime you come to the park You can pick it right up and get discounted refills all year long and for our 60th anniversary We are promoting a $60 membership for our brew club all year. So enjoy the year of beer guys, and we hope to see you here So today marks Busch Gardens first day of pin trading at Busch Gardens You can get pins that are collectible. We have about a hundred and fifty to choose from If you go to any of our ambassadors in the merchandise locations They'll have and they'll have pins that are issued to them only so it could be One of our Polaroids or one of the bronze pens the only way you can get these pins are to trade with our ambassadors all of our parks are participating and that includes Busch Gardens SeaWorld and Sesame Place so you can see we have a large array of pins and pins accessories they're all very very collectible and We'll have a lot more to come that will be issued as the days go by Species of penguin ranging in size when we've got 12 inches The 18 species five of them are found in the warm climates around the African penguin Is one of them and then there are two species that live here around in the article the emperor in the Adelaide and then the rest kind of Live half their life in the cool climate Most species of penguin perform You see penguins everybody sees ice and snow He's one of our most famous animal ambassadors so people can come to the park and connect to What we do to help preserve wildlife and wild places through our animal ambassadors. Yeah Yeah, and people literally come to the park and and seek out Harry because he's been making connections for years He's really cute. You're welcome to get a picture with them, too This is full grown Females can get a little bit bigger than this, but this is the biggest species of porcupine. There's 23 different species He just found in Africa Now a big thing that people tend to think is that porcupines can shoot their quills. That's not actually true They cannot shoot their quills. The quills are pretty much just like hair that they have So they actually what they do is they kind of flare up like a flower and they'll run backwards up the predator Is how I kind of describe it But he is able to control them. He's able to move them back and forth They do fall out every so often sometimes we do find them in the exhibit Well, like I said, there's just like hair so he cannot shoot them We'll see that food and wine we're highlighting some of our new menu items that event is a guest favorite returning on march 16 Make sure you check out the websites and get all the ban listings and find your favorite band and pick a date to come out And then of course our up close animal encounters here so that we can highlight all the adventures that Campers can plan for this year's summer camp. So great time to set up for summer camps Wanted to highlight that who's got some animal ambassadors for you to meet And then we have our almond pin trading that just kicked off today You'll see all of our ambassadors here wearing the pins. Hopefully you all have started pin trading Had several folks stocking in the park today. It's very exciting And then of course always enjoy a whole beer. As you know, we brought back three beer samples this year So that's been very popular of course. Who doesn't love free beer So that will be happening all year long in celebration of our history as a brewery before we became a theme park So we look forward to sharing some big news tonight right around six o'clock So make sure that you guys are around and that's what invites you guys back to take a seat We'll introduce our team to give you that announcement at six o'clock So please make sure that you take the time to get around and get those interviews Get everything you need before we have the fun at six And then of course you guys are going to stay for the concert and fireworks later So thanks again for coming make sure that you enjoyed that Where a high school teacher caught us when making out we like the fountain of you I can hear them talking so far away

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we shall discuss the following question and the question says that, find the area of an equilateral triangle with height 4 cm. Let us start with the solution of the given question. Here we have to find the area of an equilateral triangle having height 4 cm. To solve it we will use the strategy of drawing. So we shall first draw an equilateral triangle A, B, C. It is given that its height is 4 cm. So from vertex A we draw a perpendicular to the base B, C, meeting B, C at point D. So A, D is 4 cm. Also angle D is 90 degrees. Now we have to find its area. We know that area of triangle is equal to 1 by 2 into base into height. Here we know the height and now we have to find its base. So first we find its base and then its area. Since it is an equilateral triangle so length of all sides is equal. So we'll let length of each side of triangle A, B, C be x cm. That is A, B is equal to B, C is equal to C, A is equal to x cm. Also A, D by 6 BC which means B, D is equal to DC and that is equal to x by 2 cm. So here we have A, B is equal to x, AC is equal to x, BC is equal to x and BD is equal to x by 2 and DC is equal to x by 2. Now here we see that triangle A, BC is a right angle triangle. So using Pythagoras theorem we have A, D square plus C, D square is equal to AC square. Now substituting the values of A, D, C, D and AC here we get 4 square plus x by 2 whole square is equal to x square. This implies 16 plus x square by 4 is equal to x square which further implies that 16 is equal to x square minus x square upon 4 which implies 16 is equal to now taking LCM here we get 4 in the denominator and in the numerator we have 4x square minus x square which implies that 16 is equal to 3x square upon 4. Now this implies that x square is equal to 16 into 4 whole upon 3 that is x square is equal to 64 upon 3. Now taking positive square root on both sides we get x is equal to square root of 64 by 3 which implies that x is equal to 8 upon square root of 3. So base BC which is equal to x will be equal to 8 upon square root of 3 centimeters. So area of triangle ABC that is equal to half into base into height will be equal to 1 by 2 into base that is 8 upon square root of 3 into height that is 4. Now this is equal to 16 upon square root of 3 centimeters square thus we say that area of triangle ABC is equal to 16 upon square root of 3 centimeters square which is the required answer. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.
