The MVCC August Institute is a full day of excellent speakers and food. MVCC faculty and staff can attend as many events as they wish and join their co-workers for a lunch with music. Be sure not to miss this Institute’s Plenary Speaker, famed National Geographic photographer Steve Uzzell, at 9:30 a.m. in the IT Theater.

Uzzell uses his mind-stretching images as illustrations about possibility and creativity, inspiring the audience to make any venture an adventure. Learn to put this perspective to work every day. Uzzell’s approach to his photographic work serves as a universal blueprint for problem solving. The audience will not only learn to be open to solutions that are unexpected, but that preparation lays the groundwork for magic to happen. “Chance favors the prepared mind,” said Louis Pasteur. After all, Uzzell says, “Our eyes see only what Former MVCC athlete our mind is prepared to comprehend.” At 11:00 a.m., feel free to join everyone in the second fl oor wins Olympic bronze lobby of the IT Building for a Plenary Café Conversation.

  • Stefans Nachlese Die Olympischen Spiele Von London 2012 Daten Und
    Stefans Nachlese Die Olympischen Spiele von London 2012 Daten und Fakten zum Austragungsort Als erste Stadt durfte Europas Finanzmetropole London nach 1908 (White City) und 1948 (Wembley) im Stadtteil Stratford zum dritten Mal OS ausrichten. Nach dem Debakel durch den Entzug der LA-WM 2005 (Mängel bei der Finanzierung und Fertigstellung eines neuen Stadions), konstruierte man im Rekordtempo einen gigantischen Olympiapark. Im Mittelpunkt steht das 80.000 Zuschauer fassende Olympiastadion, dessen Nachnutzung durch die Vergabe des LA-WM 2017 und sehr wahrscheinlich schon ab 2013 durch die Ausrichtung des Diamond League Meetings (bisher im Crystal Palace) gesichert ist. Die wie immer im Vorfeld prognostizierte Skepsis und Hysterie hinsichtlich der Sicherheit („Totalüberwachung“), ausufernde Kosten und Chaos im Transportwesen, lösten sich in Luft auf. Bezüglich der Ticketverteilung (für die Masse fast ausschließlich per Losverfahren) und der horrenden Preise hat sich sicherlich jeder seine eigene Meinung gebildet (für FREUNDE- Mitglieder fiel diese überwiegend negativ aus), aber bei nahezu durchgängig ausverkauftem Stadion hat sich diese Form der Vergabe durch das OK bestätigt. Nachfrage besteht heutzutage anscheinend selbst bei astronomischen Ticketpreisen. Eine Gesamtbilanz Es gab vier Weltrekorde: David Rudisha/KEN, 800m in 1:40,91; bei den 4x100m-Staffeln der Männer (Jamaika mit 36,84) und Frauen (USA mit 40,82, sagenhafte 0,55 sec. unter dem alten WR der DDR vom Weltcup in Canberra 1985), Yelena Lashmanova /RUS mit 1:25:02 im 20km Gehen. Die LA-Wettbewerbe der 30.OS waren ein Fest an Weltklasseleistungen auf ähnlichem oder teils höherem Niveau als in Peking 2008. Die unglaubliche Dichte in der Qualität der Leistungen bereits in den Qualifikationen und auf den Plätzen 1-8 untermauerten das Gesamtniveau.
