Missed #SHRM13 Blogging4Jobs Official yet Unofficial Recap! - Workology Missed #SHRM13? Blogging4Jobs Official yet Unofficial Recap! In case you missed our #SHRM13 Recap Day One, you can read more about it and the keynote that everyone was dying to see, Hillary Clinton. Missed #SHRM13? Blogging4Jobs Official yet Unofficial Recap! Another year has gone by where HR ladies (and gentlemen) have flocked to the annual conference for the Society of Human Resource Management. We saw keynote speakers from Blake Mycoskie, co-founder of TOMS, to Mark Kelly Gabby Giffords, and the ever-so-popular Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State. With all these exciting speakers coming to Chicago it was impossible not to be overwhelmed by session after session. Monday Recap Monday afternoon was filled with random flash pizza parties (thanks to TalentCirlces for sponsoring) and sessions that would amaze anyone in the industry. My favorite Monday session was over the neuroscience behind growing talent. The speaker, David Rock, spoke over different types of mindsets and attitudes we have in the workplace that play a huge role in not only retention, but the growth of companies. Be sure to stay tuned to Blogging4Jobs in the coming weeks as we deliver several topics over this one session. It’ll take that much and more to fully appreciate the entire session. On Monday night DJ Jazzy Jeff took the stage at the official SHRM Glassdoor party to deliver a performance that had everyone sloshing drinks and having a great time. The party was thrown at the House of Blues in Chicago, IL and everyone that was anyone in HR was throwing it back to the 80s style rapping disc spinning.  As a millennial, I drank and watched all the HR ladies as they let go and danced like it was 1983. Tuesday Recap After a crazy night of partying (to see more follow the hashtag #crazyshrm on Instagram Twitter) day three of SHRM for me personally was filled with sessions encompassing HR legislation and other legal matters. The first session I attended was from the Vice President of Government Affairs for SHRM, Michael P. Aitken,  who spoke on upcoming legislation and the overall impact it had on the Human Resources industry. His main focus was immigration reform that is a major topic in the 113th Congress. The other favorite session I attended was over gender identify in the workplace and the battles won and lost over creating a workplace full of equality. These are heavy topics and we will be blogging about them in the near future. Tuesday night was amazing. Started off by the Blogger Party in the Dice/Open Web Bloggers lounge then followed by the one and only Kelly Clarkson. The concert was beyond amazing. Her most known songs, Breakaway, Stronger, Mr. Know it All, among a few new songs were sung and I had a blast. If you want some video on it, just ask and I’ll send them your way! For a quick taste follow this link to see her new song which debuted yesterday. Wednesday Recap Wednesday was less crazy as the other days of SHRM. Everything was winding down, but before most jumped in a cab they stopped by to see Mark Kelly Gabby Giffords  for the last keynote of the conference. After delivering a powerful and inspiration speech those who went to it left energized with a sense of the “I can do anything” spirit. After that session I made my way up into an area of the McCormick Convention Center I had never gone to see Eric Mosley, CEO of Globoforce, give a fantastic speech over crowdsourcing the performance review. He spoke on the many levels of performance reviews in the workplace and how each review impacted the growth and retention rate of your employees. A happy workplace fosters an attitude of productivity. Soon after his session I left for Midway International Airport to make my way back home to Denver, CO. Now I am sitting on the plane writing this recap for everyone who wasn’t able to attend. If you haven’t been to a SHRM or didn’t come this year, start saving up because next year will blow your mind! We had fun! Did you? Feel free to let us know your favorite conference session or activity in the comments! See you next year for #SHRM14 in Orlando, FL June 22-25, 2014.

Engineering Renewable Energy for Haiti

Building Renewable Energy for Haiti Building Renewable Energy for Haiti Building Renewable Energy for Haiti Indeed, even before they graduate, building understudies at Georgia Tech have begun to bring genuinely necessary, reasonable, and solid sun powered capacity to a little remote town of around 6,000 in Haiti, crushed by the 2010 tremor. Understudies state ventures like these are not just incredible learning encounters, they are likewise exceptionally fulfilling, as they probably am aware they are helping make people groups lives better notwithstanding causing themselves to feel like genuine rehearsing engineers. The town, called Thoman, a three-hour drive east of Port-au-Prince, is being created as a maintainable network by a Mississippi-based charitable service. The individuals despite everything live in crude lodging and have no power or running water. Just a year ago did Thoman get associated with Haitis primary force matrix, yet administration is untrustworthy to the point that an as of late opened wellbeing community depends for the most part on a diesel generator that is costly to work. Everyday environments are poor to such an extent that one colleague, Edlawit (Julie) Bezabih, initially from Ethiopia, stated, Haiti is extraordinary. I had never experienced [conditions] like I found in Haiti. I am from Ethiopia, clearly from Africa, so the greater part of these things are not new for me. ORS Team in Atlanta (from left): Elizabeth Robelo, Julie Bezabih, Wondewosen Kihinet, Liyao Wu, Kyron Longwood. Picture: Georgia Tech Reestablishing Power Two autonomous groups created frameworks that are making life somewhat simpler. One group of 23 understudies, drove by Frank Lambert, chief examination engineer at Georgia Techs National Electric Energy Testing, Research, Applications Center, created and introduced a half and half miniaturized scale framework in the wellbeing community, which currently gives all day, every day power. The framework incorporates a 7.2-kW photovoltaic cluster and a battery bank to supplant the diesel generator in ordinary tasks. The group picked this framework over other force creating units subsequent to assessing alternatives, in light of specialized and monetary models, for example, day by day vitality creation and most extreme yearly limit deficiency, just as convenience and capacity to get substitution segments when required. The other, littler group of five understudies, guided by Ph.D. guide Liyao Wu, created and introduced a littler sunlight based controlled framework that gives LED light, swapping lamp fuel lights for single family houses and telephone charging with the goal that inhabitants dont need to make a trip miles to discover a force source. At the point when this group began its venture a year prior, they realized their work was bound for Haiti in the long run yet had no clue about when, so they didnt hope to see the conclusive outcomes. A while later when they learned they would go to Haiti the following spring to do the establishment themselves, that gave them considerably more motivation to plan the absolute best undertaking for the Haitian individuals, Bezabih says. The group went through the initial a while finding out about force hardware circuits, doing recreations, and discussing various plans. By February, they had a framework they thought would work, comprising of a controller board that interfaced with the sunlight based rooftop boards to charge LED lights and telephones by means of USB ports. At that point testing started. One of the main issues the group confronted was a circuit board that smothered around early afternoon when radiation and voltage are extremely high. Under the direction of Wu, the group utilized a voltage controller to bring it down so the circuit board worked consummately. ORS Team inside the subsequent house they've fueled, with the proprietor and her girl. Picture: Georgia Tech Significantly greater difficulties emerged after they showed up in Thoman. They didn't know early what kind of houses they would be chipping away at, and the group acknowledged it needed to make another mount for the sun powered boards to be situated for greatest sun introduction. The establishment unit they brought wasnt helpful, and they discovered that solitary two colleagues were sufficiently light to take a shot at the feeble housetops. We needed to penetrate and do everything ourselves, Bezabih says. At the point when they required direction and investigating, they called for help from somebody on the social insurance community group, who had past experience introducing sun oriented boards. That first establishment took two days, the subsequent one, just five or six hours. Streamlining Design Despite the fact that what occurs next isn't set at this point, Wu is prepared to hand off the undertaking to another alumni understudy to work with the following group since he will concentrate on his Ph.D proposition, and most, if not all, of the other colleagues are graduating. Be that as it may, Wu has spread out thoughts for what could come straightaway. The plan isn't yet improved, Wu says. What we have is a working model that gives capacity to the client, yet the board is huge and cumbersome. We should be capable by increasingly cautious plan to contract the size and make it lighter and still give the equivalent or better presentation. The framework as of now is charged through a force bank during the day, however he might want to see a battery consolidated with the goal that it will naturally get charged during the day. We werent ready to do that before in view of time limitations, he says. An additional advantage that the specialists expectation can happen is that the groups can show the Haitians how to assemble and introduce the frameworks themselves, giving genuinely necessary business openings where none exist today. Wu trusts one day he can return to ventures that offer assistance to individuals out of luck. Our undertaking helped two families, and there are hundreds there, he says. I trust that more can be introduced in more homes and that they can be progressively practical, for mobile phones and lighting as well as to control increasingly complex capacities; perhaps siphon water and different things they need power to do. They have an exceptionally long approach. Nancy S. Giges is an autonomous essayist. Find out about the most recent vitality arrangements at ASMEsPower Energy Conference and Exhibition. Our undertaking helped two families, and there are hundreds there. I trust that more can be introduced in more homes and that they can be more functional.Liyao Wu, Ph.D. understudy, Georgia Tech
