2009 ASABE Int’l 1/4 Scale Tractor Student Design Competition Overview

June 132010

Sponsored by the American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers (ASABE), the International 1/4-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition provides university students with a “360-degree” design experience, unique among collegiate vehicle-design competitions, in which they must build a tractor from the ground up, documenting their market research, testing and development; presenting their design to a mock corporate management team; and demonstrating performance in a live tractor pull. Students gain invaluable professional experience, and industry representatives, many of whom serve as competition judges, are able to find top job recruits among the participants. The contest draws teams from across North America.

The University of Illinois Illini Pullers pulled off the ultimate this past May, breaking a multi-year Kansas State University winning streak by taking top honors at the 12th Annual ASABE International 1/4-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition, held May 28 – 31, in Peoria, IL. Rounding out the 2009 top five were, in order: Kansas State University, Purdue University, Iowa State University and Texas A & M University.

Corporate sponsors for the ASABE 12th Annual International 1/4-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition were AGCO, Bridgestone/Firestone, Briggs & Stratton, Case, Campbell Scientific, Inc, Caterpillar, John Deere, New Holland, SolidWorks and Titan International. Additional support was provided by, Central City Scale, Claas, igus, Inc., Kelly Sauder Rupiper, Kentucky Corn Growers Association, MacDon Industries, Miller Electric, Star Equipment and Sukup Manufacturing.

THE TOMMY MILNER EXPERIENCE

June 92010

You know, not just anyone can show up with a stack of video cameras to an American Le Mans race expecting to be allowed to shoot footage. If you are a professional photographer, then you might be allowed trackside access to shoot photos, but permission to shoot video is a whole other matter and often requires several weeks of negotiations.

On top of this, not just anyone would be able to convince BMW to mount video cameras all over brand new race car — and even onto the driver!

The video you see here exists in part due to the strong relationship between Need for Speed and BMW. We had to go almost all the way up the corporate ladder at BMW to get permission for this project so having a company like EA helping us to arrange this type of access was incredibly helpful. And what a video this has turned out to be!

As the longest Speedhunters video ever made, I have to say this is quite an amazing piece of work. It brings you closer to the action than any video I’ve ever seen before. I’m sure you’ll agree with me on this one.

BTW I need to thank Tommy Milner for being such a good sport and allowing the film production company, Spitfire Studios to attach cameras to his head during the filming of this video.

What are the steps to competiting in professional tennis having no prior tournament experience?

June 82010

From what I hear the ITF futures tournaments are the lowest level but professional and ATP points can be earned? What is the process to being able to compete in these for new, unranked players with no juniors/other tournament experience but who want to pursue a professional career? Do we have to contact ITF/country we want to represent? If so how is this done?

Easiest thing is to go to http://www.itftennis.com/mens/.
Have fun reading and figuring it out, there’s a lot of rules.

How can a SAP certified professional with no experience find a job in Canada?

June 52010

Is there a place where they let you work for no salary, or just expenses paid, so a person can gain experience?

I would check with SAP and ask them for a list of companies that use SAP, and connect with them that way….SAP also looks for consultants, too.

I would try also to join a networking forum, or perhaps there’s an SAP programmers’ website/chatroom/blog where you can connect (I realize there’s probably not alot of SAP developers in any one single market.) Maybe just get into an IT developers local group that meets once a month or whatever – i.e. network.

There may be some avenues through the universities; check with the career services departments at McGill, etc. even if you are not an alum. If you ask nicely, people will try to help, and most of those departments are underutilized by students.

I hope that helps!

Can i go to law school and get a professional job experience at the same time?

May 302010

i would like to one day be in the FBI, and in order to do that i need to have three years of proffessional work experiance (like a real job). I would also like to go to law school, for it is one of the criteria by which the FBI acepts applicants. So as not to waste time i would like to get my three years experiance and my law school at the same time. Is that possible?

You can’t work until your 3rd year of school.

“Web 2.0″ in just under 5 minutes.

http://mediatedcultures.net

This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.

I considered releasing it as an “eternal beta” in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the “rethink …” part).

Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in
similar issues.

Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download:

I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.

The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.

Would an unpaid internship or volunteer work count as "professional experience", as far as applying for a job?

May 282010


Absolutely!! Just indicate in detail the skills you gained from those jobs – the job you are applying to doesn’t care whether you were paid for your experience or not – they just want to know that you can do the job.

I have no professional experience, but I sew very well, usually my own chlothes. What can I do with my talent?

Heather Hayes Experience – EastCoast Entertainment

May 232010

For bookings contact EastCoastEntertainment.com. The Heather Hayes Experience – Being born to greatness doesn’t guarantee that greatness will be passed on, but in this case it’s undeniable. Born the daughter of legendary soul singer, songwriter, actor and music producer Isaac Hayes, Heather Hayes has greatness flowing systemically through her veins.

In the spring of 2004 Heather formed The Heather Hayes Band with four of Atlanta’s most seasoned musicians. The guys have many impressive credits of their own and have recorded and toured with artists like Madonna, Cameo, Bobby Brown, George Clinton, India Arie and Whitney Houston extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.

Heather has taken the crowd-pleasing formula of her professional experience and combined it with a soul-stirring band for a combination that’s simply outstanding. The group’s instrumentation and vocal ability allows a flexibility that’s a hit at any event. This is one band you don’t want to miss!
