Tad Henkenius and Shane Voborny work on construction of the catapult. Jan 12. FCCLA Winter Formal 8:00 p.m. We are ending our semester in Introduction to Engineering with one final project, the Catapult. Students were tasked to build a system to launch an object as far as possible given certain constraints. They’ve learned that constraints can cause headaches and difficulties though they also provide an opportunity to stretch the imagination. In any real- life project there are always limits imposed, whether they are financial, timelines, or specific Jan. 16 requirements. Late Start 10:00 a.m. When a team encountered a roadblock they adapted and redesigned. One specific requirement is launching a raw egg without breaking it. Part of the project includes designing a protective device for the egg. So far they’ve risen to the challenge and we’ll be launching them right after semester break. We’ve come a long way this semester, learning and applying skills including teamwork, the design process, and project management. Next semester we’ll start on the CAD (Computer Aided Design) class, which most are really excited about thanks to the recent purchase of a plasma cutter system they’ll get to use.

The Non-Recording, Non-Artist "Recording Artist": Expanding the Recording Artist's Brand into Non-Music Arenas Suzanne Kessler* ABSTRACT The changing nature of the music business presents earnings challenges for both record labels and recording artists. Historically, labels and artists entered into recording contracts pursuant to which the artists created music which the labels funded, distributed, marketed, and promoted. Many artists made good livings from music sales, earning dollars per album, while the labels profited even more. However, as digital delivery, especially streaming, now supplants physical records as the primary music consumption manner, the money that labels and artists realize from music sales has significantly decreased. In particular, artists earn fractions of pennies per track streamed.

Frankl's training as a psychiatrist informed every waking moment of his ordeal and allowed him a Man's remarkable perspective on the psychology of survival. His assertion that "the will to meaning" is the basic motivation for human life has forever changed the way we understand our Search for Meaning humanity in the face of suffering.
