Tre Hargett: Library and Archives can't afford more funding delays
Tre Hargett
As the legislative session winds down, I am cautiously optimistic that the General Assembly will include funding for a new Tennessee State Library and Archives building in the next state budget. I am optimistic because I have heard from many House and Senate members who support funding for the new building. But I am also cautious because I believe there are some lingering misconceptions about this project.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that the Library and Archives should focus on creating electronic versions of its records instead of trying to find space for them in a new building. There are several points to make about that.
First of all, the Library and Archives already has an active program in which digital copies of records are being created and made available online. This effort is a very important part of our ongoing strategy to ensure access to records for people who might not be willing or able to travel to the Library and Archives building in downtown Nashville.
However, it's also important to understand that the Library and Archives has millions of pages of documents, photographs and maps that haven't yet been electronically scanned. Making digital copies of all of them within a reasonable time would be cost prohibitive, reaching the hundreds of millions, far more than what a new building is expected to cost. Scanning of documents would have to continue forever since the Library and Archives receives more records from state agencies and private donors every week.
There's also a widely-held belief that digital records would last forever. This simply isn't true. Digital files are susceptible to becoming corrupted. As anyone who has dealt with corrupted files on a personal computer knows, it isn't always possible to retrieve them once they're lost, and other technical elements become obsolete, including software that is no longer supported.
Just for the sake of argument, though, let's say we could digitize all of the Library and Archives' records quickly, cheaply and without fear that they might turn into unreadable gobbledygook within a decade or less. Would you really want to get rid of the original historic documents? I think most of us have seen a digital copy of the Declaration of Independence at some point in our lives, but that doesn't mean that priceless originals are ready for the paper shredder.
Another misconception is that the Library and Archives simply has a storage problem that could be fixed by renting warehouse space. Most warehouses don't have the type of temperature and humidity controls needed to preserve sensitive old records. Then there are security considerations to ensure valuable documents don't grow legs and end up appearing on an online auction website.
A bigger issue concerns public access. If you were to walk into the Library and Archives building and request any record there, the staff could produce what you wanted within a matter of minutes. The same wouldn't be true if some records were kept in an off-site warehouse, where it might take a day or more to find them and make them available.
A warehouse wouldn't fix the problems at the existing building, anyway. The building, which is 65 years old, has only 15 public parking spaces available to patrons. Additionally, the building has a major handicapped access problem that forces wheelchair users to use a back door by the loading dock and to be escorted into the building's public space by security. The building is too small for many tour groups, especially student groups, to visit. And the records already being stored there are at risk of mold and mildew damage because of the building's declining condition.
The most damaging misconception of all is that a new building is just a "want," not a "need." The Library and Archives is required by state law to store official state records and make them available to the public. The staff there doesn't have the option of hanging up a "no vacancy" sign when more records arrive at its doorstep.
In fact, the need and value of our holdings hit home in a meaningful way to the families who lost everything including marriage certificates needed to prove their legal statuses -- in the tragic Gatlinburg wildfire last fall. Those records have been preserved because copies were available at the Library and Archives.
Funding for a new building has been in limbo for almost a decade, so we need a solution. A famous Tennessean named Elvis Presley once sang: "It's now or never." This is where we are with regards to this important and worthy project. Without action now, current and future Tennesseans will lose accessibility to our state's valuable and historic records, and our ability to preserve these documents will continue to be diminished.

Insight into CdM's Custom 42m Explorer
By Claudine Derksen
Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) has announced the signing for its new explorer yacht called Explorer 40.22. The 42-metre ocean-going yacht was designed by Tommaso Spadolini with naval architecture and engineering by Hydro Tec.
Staying true to explorer roots, the Explorer 40.22 features an efficient hull designed to navigate all weather conditions and offers a range of 3,500nm at 10 knots.
"This project stems from a client who wishes to have a strong, comfortable, reliable vessel featuring technical characteristics similar to that of a merchant ship," says Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and sales and marketing director at CdM. "[The owner] is indeed an Italian shipowner and has a vast knowledge of the yachting market."
The Explorer 40.22 will feature an interior layout consisting of seven staterooms as well as four cabins for her Captain and crew.
"I have worked with this client many times in the past and two of his most recent yachts carry my signature," begins Florentine designer Tommaso Spadolini. "He asked me for a clean and simple silhouette and generous interior/exterior areas to provide him and his family with plenty of spaces to spend long holidays relaxing. These may seem very common requirements for a large yacht, yet he gave us precise indications about how private and social areas should be calibrated."
Sergio Cutolo, founder and team leader at Hydro Tec explains that the "Explorer 40.22 has been a totally new challenge for us, the naval architectural aspects have been influenced by the peculiar weight distribution and from the bow profile that has been designed to the owner's specific esthetic requirements".
Cutolo continues to explain that the beam (8.50 meters) and full load draught (2.60 meters) ratio "has been taken to an optimal value and special provisions were taken to allow for high diameter/high efficiency propellers". The Italian explains that the studio did all it could do to maximise internal spaces and to ensure the windows worked well with the interior layout in terms of position and size.
Once launched, the yacht is expected to achieve a maxium speed of 14 knots.
"Explorer 40.22 has been a totally new challenge for us, the naval architectural aspects have been influenced by the peculiar weight distribution and from the bow profile that has been designed to the owner's specific esthetic requirements."

QUADRATIC VOTING
Twitter is a slot machine composed of humans
July 7, 2017 Eric Posner
Engineers design slot machines to be addictive. They exploit the phenomenon, first identified by B.F. Skinner, known as the "variable schedule of rewards." It turns out that behavior is most effectively reinforced not when it is consistently rewarded but when there is a random element. When you pull the lever of a slot machine, you might win but you might not. Engineers figure out just how many times you need to win to keep you going, and build that into the algorithm. The algorithm will give you a large reward (the jackpot) in order to keep you going. But small rewards at more frequent intervals are necessary because too many jackpots would degrade their value (as well as bankrupt the casino). "Near misses" (the jackpot symbol is visible but not on the "payline") can be constructed on the slot machine through algorithmic manipulation—they fool people though we all know abstractly that from the algorithm's perspective a near win is no different from any other loss. But they are psychologically effective; that is why they appear more often than random.
Twitter works on the same principle. When you send out a tweet, the reward is variable. Depending on the number of followers you have, your tweet will normally not be retweeted or retweeted only occasionally. From time to time, you will hit the jackpot—a media personality (or his or her factotum) retweets it to thousands of followers, generating a cascade of retweets and likes. At other times, you receive a small reward of a few or dozens of retweets or likes. I suspect the power curve strongly resembles the slot-machine version.
Twitter builds addictive loyalty in other ways. The more followers you have, the less you want to lose them. As you scroll down through the increasingly boring tweets, you're informed that new ones await you at the top of the screen. And then the tweets you receive also follow the variable reward system. Most are boring, some are interesting, a few are great.
Slot machines are entirely self-contained; that is why they are so effective at ruining people. Twitter is a decentralized form of slot machine, one that uses nominally autonomous human beings as its vectors. That is also why Twitter is not as addictive as slot machines. People aren't as reliable as algorithms are. But I suspect Twitter's engineers have caught on to this problem. Twitter itself tries to encourage people to write good tweets rather than bad tweets. I have often wondered whether Twitter creates artificial followers for people, or randomly gives prominence to their tweets. If not, it should (that is, from the standpoint of maximizing addiction). Twitter engineers should figure out a way to construct a "near miss" as well.
I sense that people are catching on that social media is a con. Maybe not all of it. Instagram—definitely yes. There, the addictive quality is reduced to its purest essence, with people simply posting to get likes, and liking to get more likes, and everyone caught in a Red Queen-style competition to nowhere. Twitter has much to learn from Instagram. Facebook, it's not so clear. But the important point is this: a social medium does best by addicting its users, and so there are immense incentives for it to do that. Backed by vast sums of money, limitless data, and huge engineering talent, sooner or later these companies will figure it out. If you are not yet addicted, just wait for the next update.
Some people have said to me that they find value in Twitter. The major claim is that they receive useful information from reliable sources very quickly. Of course, if every element of Twitter were literally valueless, it would not have gotten off the ground. A slot machine, too, pays out once in a while. But unless you are a journalist with a breaking-news beat, ask yourself how important is it that you get information two minutes after an event rather than a day. Many other services exist to supply people with specialized knowledge that they need for their work. Bloomberg BNA's Law Week emails tell me what I need to know about the latest law news. They couldn't be less addictive.
I suspect the real reason that the chattering class—the academics and journalists who filled my feed—uses Twitter is that they are afraid of falling behind. If everyone tweets but me, am I no longer important? Does my opinion no longer matter? In this sense, Twitter is the Instagram for intellectuals—a negative-sum game that users play purely because everyone else does.

The Temple of the Stars was located in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin and was built inside the South Hall of Justice. The temple was a large square building that contained four entrances that symbolized the four compass points. The entrances led into wide hallways that ran straight to the inner chamber.
The inner chamber was circular in shape, had a domed roof and was the alter room. The altar in the room was carved in the shape of anvil out of red granite, and was on a platform. On the domed roof were large diamonds that duplicated the patterns of Krynn's constellations and glowed at night, creating the illusion that the temple was open to the sky.
This temple was the most holy site in all of Thorbardin because it contained a bottomless shaft that dwarves believed led to a city that Reorx lived in. The shaft was discovered during the construction of Thorbardin and was a natural phenomenon. Several attempts were made to determine how far the shaft went but none of the attempts ever produced any answers.
The Temple of the Stars would be built around the shaft and a platform was built over it that contained the altar. Around the outside of the shaft a waist-high wall was built to prevent people from accidentally falling in. This building would be used for only the most sacred of ceremonies and rituals.
During the Cataclysm the ceiling of the temple caved in blocking all the entrances and all attempts to unblock it caused only more rocks to fall. Hylar Thane Duncan Hornfel decided to use an Urkhan Worm to chew through the rubble and cleaned out the temple. The dwarves then repaired and restored the temple.

«Отличница» — российский восьмисерийный детективный сериал 2017 года режиссёра Оксаны Карас.

Премьера многосерийного фильма состоялась с 25 по 28 сентября 2017 года на «Первом канале».

Сюжет
Ленинград, 1958 год. Выпускница юрфака ЛГУ, дочь известного адвоката Мария Крапивина приходит на работу в Ленинградский УГРО. В первый же день во время допроса задержанного преступника по кличке Буфет, члена дерзкой банды, ограбившей комиссионный магазин, он говорит ей, что в отделе есть предатель.

Все представления Маши Крапивиной, главной героини картины, — о себе, о жизни, о дружбе, о любви, о смерти, о своей семье, о профессии — к финалу меняются необратимо. Мы видим, что она стала совершенно другим человеком. И тоже вместе с ней прощаемся со своими иллюзиями и что-то важное узнаем о себе.
{{конец цитаты|источник=режиссёр сериала Оксана Карас}}
Стихотворение «про калошу», которое в детстве главной героине читала мама, и автора которого она постоянно пытается вспомнить — стихотворение «Калоша» Осипа Мандельштама, написанное поэтом в 1926 году в Ленинграде, где он жил у брата на 8-й линии Васильевского острова; напечатано в том же году в сборнике стихов для детей «Шары».

 Съёмки
Режиссёр сериала Оксана Карас в качестве референса «Отличницы» назвала фильм «Мне двадцать лет» Марлена Хуциева.

Съёмки сериала проходили в Санкт-Петербурге: трамвай ходит по маршруту «Площадь Репина у Калинкина моста — Площадь Тургенева», часть съемок велась в корпусе химического факультета Политеха и на Литераторских мостках Волковского кладбища.

Прототип начальницы отдела Паулины Мартыновны Иваненок — Паулина Ивановна Онушонок — начальник 11-го отделения милиции г. Ленинграда в 1930-е годы, первая женщина — начальник отделения милиции, известная тем, что за несколько месяцев покончила со знаменитой лиговской преступностью. Информацию о ней создатели фильма нашли в музее милиции.

Все сцены сняты одним кадром (иногда по 10-11 дублей), несмотря на то, что некоторые сцены длятся около пяти минут, при этом оператор Сергей Мачильский отработал 60 смен, он же провёл цветокоррекцию отснятого материала в стиле старых раскрашенных фотографий.

Режиссёр явно не боится экспериментов — сериал снят долгими планами с ручной камеры, к которым требуется привыкнуть.

«Отличница» — первый сериал Карас, который она сняла полностью, а не работая над отдельными эпизодами — до этого в 2008 году она была одним из режиссёров сериала «Братья детективы», а в 2013-м сняла несколько серий «Пропавших без вести».

 Показ
Премьерный показ в виде сокращённой двухчасовой версии состоялся 25 апреля 2017 года на 5-м национальном фестивале кинодебютов «Движение» в Омске — фильм открывал фестиваль.

Премьера на телевидении состоялась 25 сентября 2017 года на Первом канале в прайм-тайм после программы «Время».

 Критика и отзывы
«Отличница» снята в необычной для ретро-кино технике. Создатели фильма придумывали мир главной героини таким образом, чтобы зритель следил за историей ее глазами. Потому камера свободно следует за персонажами по всем пространствам. Все сцены в сериале сняты одним кадром.

«Отличница» — добротный сентиментальный детектив с хорошими актерскими работами и умело выстроенной интригой. Наверняка после показа в эфире Первого канала известность Оксаны Карас увеличится. Что будет вполне справедливо. Немало слов сказано о том, что в российском кино практически нет середины, только многомиллионные коммерческие залепухи и высоколобый артхаус. Карас как раз та самая середина, режиссер зрительского кино с авторским почерком.

«Отличница» смотрится так же легко, как «Хороший мальчик», а похожа она на странный, но работающий гибрид романтической трагикомедии «Питер-ФМ» и криминальной драмы «Бандитский Петербург». Послевоенный Ленинград здесь превращается в пространство городского фэнтези — и даже молодежного квеста.

«Отличница» с первых кадров окунает зрителя в атмосферу послевоенных лет, за что стоит сказать отдельное спасибо волшебной камере оператора Сергея Мачильского. Вместе с режиссером он решился на красивый, но довольно сложный шаг, и большинство сцен в сериале снято одним планом, что в этом жанре как-то не очень практикуется… Очаровывает и цветовое и световое решение. Актёры фантастично органичны в этом слепке эпохи, дыхание которой так здорово удалось перенести на экран. Картинка живет — не за счет старых стен и костюмов, но благодаря постоянной и точной работе первого и второго плана.

Отмечалось сходство с фильмом «Место встречи изменить нельзя» — «только вместо фронтовика Шарапова служить в милицию приходит симпатичная девушка-криминалист».

Portland is a city with one of the most diverse amalgams of brilliantly prepared cuisines anywhere in the county. American comfort food, fresh farm-to-table, unique Thai or Vietnamese—the City of Roses has it all. And there is no better vehicle for showing off that range than between two pieces of bread. Here, the sandwiches you can't miss when you visit Portland.
Who care about trends? A well-executed fried chicken sandwich will always have a place in our hearts (and bellies). This one features a crispy chicken breast, blue cheese slaw, pickled celery and chili mayo. Just make sure to get it with the spicy lacquer. It's worth the extra couple bucks, and sends this already heavenly combination over the top.
The bread baked at this snug strip mall joint is so good, other restaurants use it to up their own sandwich games. If you can only get one thing, make it the BBQ pork banh mi. It's a winning combination of sweet meat, bright vegetables, mayo, and perfect bread (of course). Oh, and did we mention that it will set you back just three dollars?
Don't even think about using your hands. Grab a fork and knife, and try to be as civilized as possible when taking this on. It's outrageous looking (in the best way possible), and loaded up fried chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese, and white gravy. Postprandial somnolence (more commonly referred to as "food coma") is inevitable.
Delicious veggie sandwiches are nothing new, but this one stands out from the pack by starring the humble green bean. Here, they're grilled to crispy perfection and topped with bacon relish, soft-boiled egg, Parmesan, and aioli. It's so indulgent and satisfying that you'll forget that you're eating (mostly) a vegetable.
This sandwich doesn't stray far from it beloved Italian deli roots. Made with coppa, salami, and ham – all sourced from local pigs finished on hazelnuts for 60-90 days – iceberg lettuce, provolone, relish and mayo, the sandwich taste just as good hours later (in case you can't finish in the first sitting).
The now iconic sandwich – it was first popularized by Cuban immigrants in South Florida in the late 1890's – gets an upgrade with the help of slow roasted, molasses-glazed pork belly. The accompaniments stay true to the original, though, with sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and sour pickles. A flip on the grill ensures that each bite is irresistibly warm and melty.
Just imagine thick slabs of herbaceous, fatty pork layered with even more rich goodness (hazelnut gremolata and caper mayo), then crowned with spicy arugula. A sturdy ciabatta keeps it all together, so you don't have to worry about your sandwich falling apart before you're through.

Sobhita Dhulipala – A Sense Of Being
- "There's something bohemian about '70s style denim that I connect with," Sobhita Dhulipala in a conversation with AJIO
Team ELLE
After transposing OTT platforms with a grace that's most undoubtedly palpable, Sobhita Dhulipala quietly but impactfully entered a tier of actors that many spend years attaining. Neither born into Bollywood royalty nor launched under a big banner, Dhulipala made a name for herself by carefully choosing the work she wanted to leave behind.
She's calm amidst the cacophony of styling assistants, multiple video takes and lighting changes. There are pauses before thoughts are given words. The octave of speech is just one lower than you're used to, making the listener lean closer into her world.
SHOP THE LOOK ON AJIO
"I was so used to just one definition of myself, and I have outgrown some of it. Does it represent who I am today? My interior landscape has changed. So I am trying to align my life to the changes that have happened within," she tells AJIO.
Q. Interestingly, you spoke about what it is you seek. Was it different earlier? Has it changed now?
I grew up very, very geeky in Vizag and I remember being enamoured by the idea of fashion. I was led by my curiosity, I took part in a pageant, and I won Pond's Femina Miss India (2013). I didn't even know what it meant to be a fashion model and much less a fashion model in India. I thought I'd like it, but it wasn't enough, which forced me to explore what else I could do in this three-year window that I had given myself. After winning, I thought I'd feel a sense of fulfilment, but I did not.
I felt like I wanted to have a sense of agency. So I was backpacking and auditioning—that was when I familiarised myself with acting. Through the course of auditioning, I fell in love with acting.
Q. What is your relationship with your personal style?
I really, really like fashion, but I like it like an admirer; I don't assume I know it all. In the beginning, until I had had a sense of self, there have been times people have said I was dressing in a way that's not fashionable. I didn't question the stylists because I didn't completely understand who I was. My opinion has changed with time, especially in the last four years. I came into my own, and that has had a significant influence on everything. I know what kind of coffee I like, the things I speak about or the kind of pursuits I have in my life—they're all in alignment with who I am on the inside, and it's cohesive. Obviously, it's a journey.
Q. What would you look for besides comfort when buying a pair of jeans?
I like jeans that sit well on the hips, but I gravitate towards a flared cut. There is something so bohemian about '70s style denim, which I connect with, maybe because of my year of backpacking. I like a classic blue wash. There's a utilitarian quality about it. Jeans were worn because you could work in them—like gardening, painting the house, washing the car, with a kind of abandon. I think the idea was always to be utility forward, so I think that's an element that must remain. Jeans should be left in the traditional form, and things around them should be used to dress them up.
Q. Of all the looks you've had in the shoot, which one did you like best?
There's one look with the blue shirt, denim jacket, and diamonds. Because the jeans are distressed and slightly more grungy, it was such a nice offset to have expensive-looking jewels because it sort of merges two extremes. There's a softness and femininity with the jewellery, and the heels and the jeans had a certain Yang, so that's a nice balance.
Q. Favourite pair of jeans?
Anything flared.

East boys sink 22 3s in TRC sweep of Happy Valley
From staff reports • Jan 14, 2020 at 10:56 PM
BLUFF CITY — The Sullivan East boys basketball team is in the midst of a long-distance love affair.
The Patriots knocked down 22 shots from the 3-point arc in a dominating 88-39 Three Rivers Conference victory over Happy Valley on Tuesday night.
"Our defense makes our offense go," East coach John Dyer said after his team's third league win in a row. "When we make that extra pass, our 3-point shot falls.
"I thought we played hard on both sides of the ball tonight. We have to continue to get better. Every district game is crucial and we want to win the district."
Happy Valley (4-12, 1-4) simply had no way to counter the outside shooting by East (10-9, 4-1), which finished with three players in double figures.
Ethan Bradford scored 21 points, Dylan Bartley dropped in 20 and Braden Standbridge totaled 15. The trio combined for 15 3-point shots.
Alex Lunceford led the Warriors with 17 points.
East had its outside shooting touch early and sank nine 3s to grab a 35-9 advantage. Bartley made four straight 3s to help send the Patriots into halftime up 50-25.
FOUR IN A ROW
Sullivan East's girls won their fourth straight, topping Happy Valley 60-47. The Lady Patriots led by double digits then held off a comeback bid by the Lady Warriors.
Jenna Hare totaled a game-high 21 points and Hayley Grubb added 19 for Sullivan East (13-8, 4-1).
Happy Valley (12-7, 1-4) got 13 points from Olivia Absher, and Shalyn Whitson and Emma Blevins both scored eight.
Sullivan East had the hot hand early, leading 15-4 and 22-6 before a couple of 3-point makes by Blevins cut it to 24-12. The Lady Patriots led 30-16 at halftime.
Casey Campbell hit a pair of 3-pointers to pull the Lady Warriors within 11 in the third quarter, but East headed into the fourth up 46-30. Happy Valley went on a 7-0 run in the final period but couldn't close the distance.
"It's hard to go down and come back in this district," Happy Valley coach Thomas Gouge said. "Sullivan East is a good basketball team and knows how to score pretty easily. It showed tonight how tough this district is."

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
We need your support in keeping our journalism going. Support our work today.

An experiment was carried out in order to clarify the color perception in sheep. Twin Corridale lambs were trained using an operant conditioning technique to press a switch under the positive stimulus color card in order to receive feed as a reward. They were tested to, discriminate between green and seven kinds of color, which were created by gradating blue and yellow into green. The luminosity of all colors was the same. The lambs succeeded in all discrimination tests but the most similar color combination.


The feast of Corpus Christi was first celebrated in York Minster in the early 14th century, but by around 1375, the event had developed into the performance of a series of religious pageants acted out on carts by the Guilds of York and drawn around the city to a specific route. Put on annually for almost 200 years, these plays became the basis for the modern Mystery Plays which have thrilled audiences since 1951.
Join Russell Marwood as he follows the same route as those Pageant Wagons did over 600 years ago. On the way Russell will explain the mystery in the "Mystery Plays" as well as point out locations of the plays, together with the sights and sounds of Medieval York.
Please meet at the Henry VII Experience at Micklegate Bar (YO1 6JX) for 13:00.
Walk lasts approximately 90 minutes and are suitable for age 12+. Please dress accordingly for the weather and be prepared to walk long distances and up steps as you follow York's fascinating history.


A whole lot of fun packed into this small bundle.

Eleanor Antin's Before the Revolution, first performed at the Kitchen in New York in 1979, is a key example of the artist's critical, theatrical practice. The play explores Antin's imaginary character "Eleanora Antinova," a black American ballerina trying to make it in the great modernist Russian company of Diaghilev's Ballet Russe, where she encounters the histories and ambiguous realities of performance, racial profiling, and the magical promise of modernism and revolution. Performed by actors who manipulate Antin's original, hand painted, life scale puppets to enact this darkly comic narrative, Before the Revolution is a prime example of the artist's incorporation of a vaudeville sensibility into performance art, and demonstrates a daring attempt to consider race and gender in relation to artistic mastery. Antin directs the production along with Robert Castro. Before the Revolution is curated by Malik Gaines and Alex Segade and organized by in collaboration with the Hammer Museum as part of the ongoing programmatic collaboration between the two organizations.

CFCC, Yamaha Partner In New Course For Marine Technicians
By Christina Haley O'Neal, posted Sep 6, 2018

Cape Fear Community College and Yamaha Corp. have partnered in a new program at the college aimed at training future marine technicians.
Part of the college's Continuing Education programs, the Introduction to Outboard Systems course began this summer with 16 students, according to Josh Davis, director of customized training and workforce development at CFCC.
Officials with the college and representatives of Yamaha gathered Thursday along the college's docks on the Cape Fear River for a press conference to share details of the new course developed with curriculum from Yamaha Marine University, the company's dealer education and training program.
In the Wilmington area, Yamaha has more than 20 dealers, said Mark Harden, district service manager with Yamaha.
"Our dealers ... they are in desperate need of skilled labor. Right now today I could place 10 technicians in this area," he said. "The market has grown. The market is strong, and dealers are selling large numbers of product and you have got to be able to take care of the product."
Thursday's announcement comes just before the start of this year's Wilmington Boat Show, for which Yamaha is the presenting sponsor.
"As many of you know we have a very rich history in boating at the college," CFCC President Jim Morton said at the press conference, highlighting the school's boat building programs, as well as the marine technology program and its 135-foot RV Cape Hatteras research vessel, which served as the backdrop at Thursday's event.
"We wanted to continue to expand our marine division, and in doing so ... we're going to listen to industry and business and determine what needs are out there. And we determined there is a need for a skilled labor force to work on boat motors," Morton said.
The new Introduction to Outboard Systems course is 72 hours. It costs $185 and operates under open enrollment, Davis said. Students must be at least 17 years old to register.
"The course is designed to cover basic entry-level skills for technicians. Upon completion [and] training, [students] will have the opportunity to take the Introduction to Outboard Systems final exam for their first official Yamaha certification," Davis said.
Students learn through hands-on labs and work with complex components such as trim and tilt units, water pumps and timing belts. More advanced service skills, such as troubleshooting, checking valve clearances, starting and charging system testing and diagnostics are also covered in the course, Davis said.
"These skills are being taught in our outboard engine shop, on up-to-date equipment that our partners that have generously donated to the program," Davis said.
In addition to helping with the course's curriculum, Yamaha donated two, 350 horsepower outboard motors to the college for the program. Yamaha's donation was over $79,000 in equipment for student training, including outboards, cylinder heads, lower units, propellers and controls.
Other local marine service businesses also donated materials for the program, including Atlantic Marine, Tom's Marine Center and Boats Unlimited NC.
This course is the first of a series of Yamaha classes under development to be used at education institutions. A second curriculum is also being developed, the details and timeline of which have not yet been announced, Harden said.
There are currently 70 schools nationwide considered "tech school partners" with Yamaha, Harden said. There are three in North Carolina, including through the new course at CFCC, he said.
A starting position as a boat motor technician pays between $15 to $18 an hour, he said. Highly skilled technicians typically earn between $60,000 and $80,000 a year, he added.
Within the past few weeks, Yamaha has begun its 24-month apprenticeship program that is also available to students who earn the certification. There are a handful of dealers in Yamaha's nationwide network that are involved in the apprenticeship program. However, no dealerships in the area currently offer apprenticeships through the company's program.
Harden said Yamaha continues to develop its nationwide and regional dealers involved in the apprenticeship program.
The apprenticeship program, however, is not a requirement for students to get a job out of the new CFCC course, he said. It's just another way for the new technicians to continue their training.
"There's more than one path to get there, and that's what we are trying to create because there is such a huge need," Harden said.

Doddridge County Master Gardeners
The project used hay bales and table top gardens to beautify the perimeter of the county senior center's recreation areas. The project experimented with different accessibility designs to measure the amount that is produced from different designs.
Preston County Master Gardeners
Preston County Master Gardeners created a workshop curriculum, Teaching the Teachers, to provide sustainability to education and outreach efforts funded by Green Thumbs in the past. The curriculum taught to a class of United Steel Workers Women of Steel members. Members carried forward information on arthritis treatment and lessening its pain by delivering presentations at public planting days. This project provided individuals with arthritis opportunities to plant in raised beds at various locations throughout Preston and Monongalia counties.
Friends of Monroe, Inc.
Raised beds were built at the Springfield Center, a nursing and rehabilitation center in Lindside, WV. The raised beds were used by the center to provide recreation, education on arthritis and other disabling joint conditions, and mental therapy for patients with Alzheimer's disease. Residents and patients of the center, along with Monroe County Master Gardeners will maintain the beds.
Friends of Deckers Creek
Friends of Deckers Creek and Madison Rehabilitation Center teamed up to build an accessible garden at the rehab center. Garden maintenance and chores were built into patients' rehab plans during their stay and visits to the rehab center. Additional activities of daily living were added to treatment plans depending on patients' level of interest in gardening. Activities were planned for patients that involved the garden but are outside of their rehab plans.
Kanawha Valley Senior Services, Inc.
Green Thumbs funding was used by KVSS to implement therapeutic gardening at the organization's newest community senior center, KVSS Tiskelwah Center. Accessible gardening was used as an opportunity to help seniors increase their cognitive capacity, improve attention capacity, reduce stress, improve moods, improve social integration, decrease heart rate, improve fine and gross motor skills, as well as reduce and relieve arthritis and other joint limitations. Education on ergonomic and assistive gardening devices was provided through brochures and at the garden site to help generate interest and alleviate concerns of those who may feel that they would not impact, or be impacted by, the garden.
Mineral County Family Resource Network
Mineral County Master Gardeners built two raised beds located at the Health Department. Plants, such as tomatoes and turnips, were planted so that seniors can pick and take vegetables home with them. The Master Gardener group also planned planting projects with two local adult day centers. Plants were planted indoors at both centers. After germination, plants were planted outdoors for consumers to enjoy.
Jefferson County Council on Aging
This year's project added to the foundation of last year's project. The agency's maintenance department built hanging rail baskets, two garden top tables, and a flower basket pulley system.
Berkeley Senior Services
Accessible gardening, specifically raised beds, were incorporated into Berkeley Senior Services' ADS class (adult with disabilities). Student were maintained the raised beds throughout the growing season. An accessible gardening and ergonomic tool demonstration was provided to introduce adults to the garden project.
Marion County Senior Services
Accessible gardening was introduced to the Fairview senior center, the satellite location of Marion County Senior Citizens. Raised beds were used to teach seniors about accessible gardening and ergonomics.
Susan Dew Hoff Memorial Clinic, Inc.
This is the third and final stage of the clinic's plan of building their accessible community garden. The intention of this stage was to encourage walking and moderate gardening exercise for people with physical limitations in a social environment. Demonstrations will continue to be held to show individuals tools that are adapted specifically to meet the capabilities of people with physical limitations. This year's focus was on enhancing and providing safety features to an existing walking path.
Wayne County Community Services
Green Thumbs funding was used to expand upon last year's gardening success. Funding was used to increase outreach efforts to reach a larger group of seniors. Funding was also used to continue instruction on the proper use of ergonomic tools and devices to assist with more accessible gardening.

EPL: Ten Hag Tells Man Utd Players They Must Sign For New Season
EPL: Ten Hag has told Man Utd the players they must sign for new season.
News ToGo reports that Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has told the board that he needs more options in attack.
He has called on the club's decision makers to sign another forward before the transfer window closes.
Ten Hag has been linked with Antony who plays for his former club, Ajax, and it is claimed the player's agent, Junior Pedroso, was in Manchester for talks on Thursday.
When asked about the importance of signing another forward, Ten Hag said: "I think it's vital if you want to get success, the season is really long.
"That is a reason, but also the number of games. You need more options in offence. But we also have still time to fill that in.
"We signed (Christian) Eriksen for the midfield, we are really happy with that. I am really happy with the performance of the midfield and offence at this moment.
"But I also know this season, a lot of games, World Cup, so we need more options.
"We have a good team, we need a good squad to get the right results at the end of the season."

Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed the two major things that made him move to Al-Nassr
News ToGo reports that the former Manchester United player had a preference for playing in Europe over the years. However, he had a problem with United leading to the termination of his contract. After that, he decided to test new water in the Middle East with a move to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
While speaking in his first press conference on Tuesday evening, Ronaldo said he joined Al-Nassr because he wants to keep scoring goals and winning.
According to the Portugal captain, he doesn't care what people are saying regarding his move to the Middle East.
"I don't care what people say. I have come here to keep scoring goals and winning," Ronaldo said.
"In the last 15 years, football has changed a lot in Arabia. It is much better now.
"Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, the champions, which shows their improvement."
The superstar did not disclose that he moved to the new club because of the big money as many people have been hinting. Ronaldo is a player who prides himself on top-notch performance which involves scoring goals and winning trophies both for his club and for himself. This could make his reasons credible.
Brazil football legend Pele is dead amid reactions from people.
News ToGo gathered that Pele was a three-time World Cup winner. He was 82 years as at the time of his death.
Pele had been treated for colon cancer, following surgery to remove a tumour in September 2021, and had required regular medical treatment.
After being admitted back into the hospital at the end of November to re-evaluate his cancer treatment, he was diagnosed with a respiratory infection before subsequently being moved to palliative care when his body became unresponsive to chemotherapy.
Pele died on Thursday at the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo and his daughter, Kely Nascimento, confirmed the news on Instagram, writing: "Everything we are is thanks to you. We love you infinitely. Rest in peace."
Pele made his international debut at the age of 16 and announced himself to a global audience in 1958, when, still only 17, he scored six goals in four games as Brazil won the World Cup for the first time. He scored twice in a 5-2 final win over Sweden in Stockholm.
He would win the World Cup on two more occasions, in 1962 and 1970, when the Selecao produced arguably the greatest final performance in the competition's history, defeating Italy 4-1 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico. Pele won the Golden Ball for the tournament's best player.
During the tournament, ex-Manchester City boss Malcolm Allison, working as a TV summariser, asked, "How do you spell Pele?" Counterpart Pat Crerand responded, "Easy: G.O.D."
His 1970 teammate Tostao remarked, "Pele was the greatest – he was simply flawless. And off the pitch, he is always smiling and upbeat. You never see him bad-tempered. He loves being Pele." Sir Bobby Charlton, part of the England side beaten 1-0 in the group stage of that tournament by Brazil, remarked later in life, "I sometimes feel as though football was invented for this magical player."
Pele scored 757 goals in 831 games during a glittering career from 1957 to 1977, although his long-time club Santos claim his tally was closer to 1,000.
Pele's death has been greeted with massive reactions from people in different parts of the world. Most importantly, key footballer stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jnr, and others have all reacted to his death and paid him tribute.
BREAKING: Tension As Pele Is Rushed To End-Of-Life Ward
Football legend Pele has been 'moved to end-of-life care' ward in the hospital.
News ToGo learned that this happened as Pele's body is no longer responding to chemotherapy in the fight against bowel cancer.
Recall that Pele went into hospital last week for treatment. Reports from Brazil indicated that the 82-year-old legend is receiving measures to relieve pain at Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo. He was admitted to the hospital last Tuesday after suffering from 'general swelling' and 'heart failure.'
Football legend Pele 'is moved to end-of-life care' ward in the hospital, as his body is no longer responding to chemotherapy in the fight against bowel cancer, Daily Mail reported.
Reports from Brazil indicated that the 82-year-old legend, who went into hospital last week, is receiving measures to relieve pain at Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo.
He was admitted to the hospital last Tuesday after suffering from 'general swelling' and 'heart failure.'
An update on Thursday said the football icon was in a 'stable' condition in the hospital with his daughter Kely insisting there was 'no cause for alarm.'
However, a report by Folha de Sao Paulo on Saturday, said "Pele is not responding any longer to the chemotherapy treatment he has been undergoing since last September to treat his bowel cancer".
Palliative care is for patients with potentially life-threatening diseases or conditions.
