Tammy Baldwin visits UWO by Nicole Horner firstname.lastname@example.org Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin told UW Oshkosh students to tell their unique stories when she met with College Democrats on Thursday. “One of the most powerful things for me throughout this campaign as I’ve been traveling to campuses and county or local part ofﬁces is the power of a personal story if you have them,” Baldwin said. “If you have one of those stories you can share, make it fun.” Baldwin wasn’t the only political ﬁgure at the event held in Reeve Memorial Union on Oct. 20. Other electoral candidates who came to UWO include Mark Harris, G ordon Hintz and Sarah Lloyd. Baldwin said young voters
can have a big impact in politics. “It has been the youth vote that has made a huge difference for me,” Baldwin said. “In unprecedented numbers, people got out and voted and made the difference.” President of College Democrats Brandon Colligan said Baldwin came to UWO to get students more involved in election season. “We just wanted to raise the importance of voting and students’ involvement in the democratic process,” Colligan said. “We believe that Tammy has been an advocate for a lot of issues that students care about and she’s an elected ofﬁcial so o viousl we want to have her.” According to Colligan, College Democrats hold events
like this to raise students’ awareness as Election Day draws closer. “We just want to raise awareness towards the election, increase student participation and increase the engagement of students in the democratic process,” Colligan said. Colligan said Baldwin’s appearance at UWO is important ecause she is a ig pu lic ﬁgure who can raise the signiﬁcance of students issues. “Tammy provides insight into issues and federal government that we may not see on a daily basis effecting our lives,” Colligan said. According to Colligan, political ﬁgures can emphasi e the importance of voting to students. “We invite people like Sena-

tor Baldwin to come talk to us and invite a number of elected ofﬁcials to tal a out what they’re passionate about and the issues that actually affect students,” Colligan said. According to Lloyd, having conversations with students independently helps raise voter turnout. “We need people to get active because the very best way to get people out to vote is to talk to them one-on-one,” Lloyd said. “Making sure you have one-on-one conversations with people is really important.” Baldwin talked about the election and candidates such as Republican Donald Trump, Democrat Hillary Clinton and Democrat Russ Feingold.

Awarded alumni offer advice, guidance to UWO students
Coming from the inner city of Milwaukee, Barker said how transitioning from Milwaukee to Oshkosh showed her diversity she had never seen before. “Coming from an era from the sixties, diversity was not prevalent,” Barker said. “Coming to Oshkosh showed me that goodness comes in all colors.” Barker said one piece of advice she would give students for the future is that they should live without worries for the future. “Be fearless,” Barker said. “Don’t worry about failing. J ust do it.”
Amanda Betts-Regina was a J ournalism major from 2006 to 2010. Through her Oshkosh experience, Betts-Regina said she learned a lot about herself. “What I discovered was my independence,” Betts-Regina. “If you fail, it is on you. I was able to explore who I wanted to be.” Betts-Regina said her best advice for students is to exploit everything Oshkosh has to offer. “You should explore different opportunities and internships,” Betts-Regina. “Take advantage of everything.”
Jim Rath Alumnus J im Rath, who attended Oshkosh from 19 7 0 to 19 7 2 and 19 7 4 , credits his wonderful experience at Oshkosh to three things that shaped him into the person he is today. “I look at three things through it--I graduated high school, I graduated college, and I was involved in G reek Life through my fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi,” Rath said. Rath advised students to follow their dreams after college and to be grateful for what they have. “Follow your passion and make sure you network,” Rath said. “Be thankful at the end of the day and give back.”

“Even one percent of the number of people who completed this survey is too high,” Cannon said. Cannon said UWO needs to prioritize diversity in their hiring process in the future. “Our employee respondents African-American or black could not even be represented in a pie chart,” Cannon said. According to de Montigny, the Campus Climate Study was started back in 2008 by an outside consult-
ing ﬁrm ut has now shifted to inhouse surveying. “We collected information from students and employees regarding demographics, expectations, perceptions of campus climate, overall quality of life, experiences of exclusionary harassing, offensive or hostile conduct, as well as sexual misconduct,” de Montigny said. de Montigny said the process began 22 months ago and went through several drafts before settling on the ﬁnal surve . “We started with a survey and revised it many times,” de Montigny said. “We had listening sessions
on campus where we got feedback from people on campus.” Bode said he took the survey last spring and re ected on how indepth the survey went. “I was surprised how thorough the survey was and what it all covered,” Bode said. “I thought it would be like what you like here and dislike, but it covered a lot more.” G oing forward, raising awareness of the sexual harassment results are part of the climate survey committee’s plan, according to Cannon. “We want to raise campus aware-
ness that we offer services,” Cannon said. “We also want to expand these services. We want to improve reporting procedures for handling sexual harassment and assault.” Cannon said the board and university need to raise campus awareness of the climate survey to generate an even more accurate study and wants to receive more student questionnaires in the future. “We want to make sure that students realize that this is not a survey analyzing weather conditions,” Cannon said. “We want to obtain a diverse representation in student responses.”
BALDWIN FROM PAGE
also emphasized the importance of the role college students play in the voting process. Although this is a presidential election, Baldwin said voters should vote for candidates in every position. “We need everybody to vote down the ticket,” Baldwin said. Baldwin said one of the reasons she got involved in politics in the ﬁrst place was to advocate for college students. “I wanted to be involved in my community in a way that could make a difference,” Baldwin said. “I had the opportunity to run for the county board. I put my head in the ring, and part of what motivated me was reading story after story about college students on campus who were uninsured, poor and had become ill.” Baldwin said she ran for county board to make changes for uninsured college students. “I learned that if I could run for county board, I might be able to make a difference on this, and we did,” Baldwin said. Baldwin said advocating for college students helped her realize young people had to let their voices be heard. “It also just reminded me throughout my career how important your voices are,” Baldwin said. “And how important it is that you use them to advocate for any injustice that gets ou ﬁred up and that ou re passionate about.” Baldwin said this is why she encourages students to vote on Election Day. “I want you to feel and know your power, that you decide what’s possible,” Baldwin said. Baldwin said she encourages early voting, and that it is vital for many voters. “Now that we have early voting, today is Election Day,” Baldwin said. “Tomorrow is Election Day. Next Monday is Election Day, and we’ve got to think of it that way and get people out to the polls. Every day between now and Nov. 8 is Election Day. We’ve got to look at it that way and take our own responsibility.” Baldwin advises voters to vote as early as possible to get their voice out sooner. “While there have been many efforts to repeal and diminish voting rights in the state of Wisconsin, one of the things that has not been taken away is the ability to register quite close to Election Day or on Election Day,” Baldwin said. “There’s many states where same day registration isn’t an option … We are not a state that does that. It’s not too late. It’s easy to do.”

Queer game show pits students against staff by Mia Wilson firstname.lastname@example.org Students were pitted against faculty in the Queer game show held by the Lesbian G ay Bisexual Transgender and Queer/ Questioning Resource Center held on Wednesday. The center started in the fall of 2008 in an effort to make UW Oshkosh a safer, more inclusive campus and to welcome members of the LG BTQ community. The event featured a panel of ﬁve facult and staff serving as one “family” and an interchangeable set of ﬁve volunteers for each of the four rounds to make up the student ‘ family,’ along with an audience. With midterms and the holiday season closely approaching, it served as a way to give students a break to enjoy themselves. UWO senior G arrett Denning explained how it is a nice way to take some time to relax and get away from everything going on during this time of year academically. “We’re dealing with so much just trying to get through our classes, and with midterms, things are starting to
pick up, and there’s no real break in sight, so having something to come together and enjoy ourselves at is so crucial for students,” Denning said. Kaylee Bork, a senior and intern for the LG BTQ resource center, explained the importance of holding these types of events for students. “I think it’s important to have a place where everyone is welcome,” Bork said. “Everyone can be themselves and feel that they’re in a safe place.” For students looking to get involved with the resource center or to do an internship, Bork says you’ve come to the right place. “It’s a very fun and welcoming environment,” Bork said. “We have lots of different groups and programs that you can get involved with around campus. The internship is 120 hours between 14 weeks for three credits.” The answer to the questions for the game were based on a survey sent out to 100 faculty and students on the Rainbow Alliance for Helping Others Perceive Equality e-mail list. The student organization includes
gender, sexual and romantically divergent students as well as allies around campus. The game featured various topics from pop culture including TV shows such as “Orange is the New Black” and “Ellen,” movies including “Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Toy Story” and musicals including “Rent” and “Hamilton.” Some examples of questions were “name a popular queer TV show character” and “what animated movie still makes you cry as an adult?” Matthew Reinhardt, the LG BTQ Resource Center Program Assistant, donned a fake mustache for the event and even put on his signature game show host voice. He said events like this are a great way for staff and students alike to interact with each other outside of the classroom. “We do this to bring students, faculty and staff together,” Reinhardt said. “It’s a way to connect and is humanizing. It breaks down that wall and gives us the opportunity to make it educational and a learning experience while still having fun.” Denning said that the Center is important to serving the LG BTQ
Staff and students get the chance to compete in the Queer game show. community. “It’s a fun time, it gets a little competitive, obviously, but in the
end, these are your people and you feel like you always have a place here,” Denning said.

New Moon offers creative outlet for Kubasta by Raquel Tuohy email@example.com For senior Kathryn Kubasta, open mic night at New Moon Cafe offers an outlet to perform and express her creativity. New Moon Cafe was founded by brothers Aaron and J ason Baer in the early 19 80s and is home to Oshkosh’s longest-running open mic night, running every Tuesday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. Kubasta said she has been going to New Moon’s open mic night almost every Tuesday since she was in high school. “One of my friends when I was in high school played there a lot for open mics,” Kubasta said. “I went with him, and when I got to college, it was even more convenient because it was nearby to the college campus. I used to do [ open mic] every week, but lately I’ve been doing it about once a month.” Kubasta said she goes to New Moon because of the
ambience the cafe provides. “It has a really cool atmosphere, and they have good coffee,” Kubasta said. “It’s really easy to come and hang out here with friends. It’s fun to come [ to New Moon] listen to music, play and get food or coffee.” Kubasta said going to New Moon is great for new and veteran performers because people have the chance to perform in front of others. “I think it’s a good opportunity for people who have never performed before that maybe have written their own song and don’t know how else to get it out there,” Kubasta said. “You aren’t going to get that kind of experience anywhere else in Oshkosh.” Kubasta started off her four-song set with a cover of “Simple is This” by J ake Bugg, “Cherry Wine” by Hozier and finished off by collaborating with Cullen Sampson on a mashup of Major Lazer and J ustin Bieber’s “Cold Water” and “All Time Low” by J ohn Bellion. Sampson, a friend of
Kubasta, said when he met her at New Moon a year and a half ago, he thought she was talented and wanted to collaborate with her. “We’ve only worked together a couple of times,” Sampson said. “She’s really good, and I saw her play once and afterwards, I started thinking of songs we could do together.” In addition to Kubasta, fellow UW Oshkosh student Sara Mac played “Cocaine J esus” by Rainbow Kitty Surprise and “Manchild,” an original. Most of the performers, including Sampson, sung original songs mixed with covers done by recognizable artists. Besides students, there were adults from a group home that are at the cafe to perform every Tuesday. Kubasta wrapped up her set to roaring applause and blushed when someone approached her to compliment her performance. Freshman Eli Allen-Folts said he can tell Kubasta has a lot of passion in her voice. “I really thought Kath-
ryn’s performance was spectacular,” Allen-Folts said. “Her covers were all geared to emphasize her own style. The mashup at the end with Cullen was the best. Their voices worked well with each other. I think I fell in love a little bit after their performance.” G irlfriend Natasha G ray said Kubasta’s voice is relaxing and anyone would enjoy listening to her, regardless of their taste in music. “Honestly, Kathryn’s voice is part of what made me fall in love with her,” G ray said. “We used to spend hours just sitting in her room and she’d play music and sing for me ,and she’s always been very talented. Since I’ve known her, she has only gotten better.” Kubasta said she started playing music when she was seven, and eventually, it evolved into singing. “I don’t really do anything else besides music,” Kubasta said. “I play guitar, ukulele and piano, a wide range of instruments. Music is kind of my thing.”
by Allison Prusha firstname.lastname@example.org Monti Washington, a former homeless youth turned successful actor, activist and motivational speaker spoke on Tuesday evening in Reeve Memorial Union as a part of the University Speaker Series. Washington explained how he olstered his conﬁdence to get where he is today. Speaker Series committee member Matilda Cretens said it’s a long process to decide who gets to come and speak at the University. “Once we found out who our speaker was, we had to create a mar eting plan to ﬁgure out what groups we wanted to target,” Cretens said. There was a lot of crowd participation and storytelling as Washington aimed to empower students to “take it from the streets of their minds to the stage of their dreams.” Also a spoken word artist, Washington began the evening with a free-verse poem that reected our societ toda and our obsession with social media. After discussing his poetry, Washington delved into his past. Washington said he was homeless by the age of 12, scouring trash bins outside fast food places with his brothers in hopes of coming up with their next meal of the day. Once off the streets, he was placed in a group home and various foster homes where he endured both physical and emo-
tional abuse at the hands of his guardians. Washington said it was during his time that his self-esteem took a hard hit, and he attempted suicide twice. “I was called stupid so many times I thought it was my name,” Washington said. Self-esteem remained a focal point of his talk as well as how our personal stories, while they may seem so different, are actually more alike than anything else. “We do not look like our stories,” Washington said. After sharing his history, the talk became more interactive. Washington picked six random students from the audience to stand on stage. He had a roll of toilet paper in his hand and explained how in order to get through his struggles, he changed the words “you’re shit,” a name he was constantly called by his foster parents, into “you’re the shit.” Senior Christine J uhas said what resonated with her most was the idea Washington conveyed about self-love. “The ultimate thing you can do for you is love yourself and have faith in yourself,” J uhas said. Washington said he started to realize his potential through his struggles while raising his conﬁdence. “I’ve learned to communicate and adapt to my situation, not really judge people,” Washington said.

Get ahead, beat stress at the start
Stress, a word used nearly every day by college students globally, is almost always on our mind weighing us down. Stress can show itself in many ways. Through poor behavior, actions and emotions, we can see in ourselves and others the ugly face of stress and how negatively it impacts us. Whether it be the piles of readings and papers not yet completed, the extracurriculars that seem to eat up our time or maybe even finding time for all that while managing a job and having social life, stressors are constantly around us. Though school isn’t the only thing that has college students stressing, it is a major contributor for most. As a dog loves a bone, stress loves procrastination, maybe even more than a final exam. Both words are uttered numerous times every day on campuses. It seems inevitable with all of life’s other aspects that you will end up behind on at least one assignment in a class. The reasons to avoid procrastination, before you’re testing the limits of over caffeinating the human body at 3 a.m. on a Thursday, seem pretty obvious. One of the most vital reasons for most college students to avoid procrastination would be sleep. In the history of the Earth, I doubt a single person who has been enrolled in a university has ever complained of getting too much sleep. Even on weekend mornings people will go right back to sleep given the opportunity, even if they’ve just slept for 12 hours, because in college, so much sleep debt has been created that there essentially will never be enough. Procrastination seems inevitable, but according to research done at Harvard there are ways to combat this. Elle Kaplan, who wrote “Harvard research highlights six ways to trick your brain out of procrastination” published on the news site, Quartz, enlightens us on how to stop this seemingly never-ending cycle of avoiding assignments and putting off work that is due in the future. Many thinkers and innovators have thought up
ways to combat stress; these methods may get an eye roll or a thought to yourself “I’ve heard that a thousand times” but the question is, have you tried them? The only way to determine if one of these methods will work for you is to try it yourself. Physical activity is one of the best solutions to release bad energy on stressful days. The endorphins released through physical activity have been proven time and time again to reduce stress hormones. Other solutions are yoga and meditation. Not only could their practice improve your posture and flexibility but it also can reduce your stress levels. Yoga has been used as a tool for thousands of years to allow people to have a peaceful outlet. UWO junior Alexander Filkouski said doing yoga every morning has benefited his life. “First off it adds energy to my day because it’s relaxing, but at the same time I’m waking up my body by stretching and breathing,” Filkouski said. “Secondly I feel refreshed and in a better mood after doing yoga as well.” Meditation, used to find peace of mind in solitude, is another method that can be used. According to the book “The Trouble with Paradise” by Robin Lincoln Wood, studies have shown, “production of the stress hormone Cortisol is greatly decreased, thus making it possible for those people to deal with stress better when it occurs.” Another stress-reducing option is aromatherapy. This technology has gained recognition for essentially giving a user the option of choosing what emotion they wish to feel, and making it happen. The vapor used is called MONQ and was released to the public in April of 2016. By inhaling the vapor of choice you instantly feel the desired emotion. According to its creator, “each MONQ blend is 80 percent soy-based vegetable glycerin, 20 percent essential oils.” The easiest and quickest way to reduce stress though is training yourself to work on assignments when they are first assigned. Don’t wait until the day they are due to start them because this just builds stress and often leads to poor execution. Stress and procrastination seem as much a part of college as bad campus food and expensive books, but that doesn’t mean we have to let it be. Taking steps to reduce stress and prevent it before it starts, can lead to a more enjoyable college experience and more free time to hang out with friends, take part in clubs, get involved in the community or bingewatch that Netflix show you haven’t had time for. Do yourself a favor and cut the stress before it starts.

Cast a vote for what matters by the Advance-Titan Staff email@example.com
With candidates like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, it is no wonder why the focus is all on them. During election season, however, down-ballot voting is just as important, if not more, as voting for the presidential candidates. Down-ballot voting is voting for candidates who are running for lower positions, such as local and county government, state representatives and senators. During elections these candidates are often forgotten and the votes are only cast towards the presidential nominees. The down-ballot candidates represent citizens at a local level and have a big impact on citizens’ day-today lives, yet they typically are ignored at the ballot box. President of College Democrats at UWO Brandon Colligan said people disregard these elections and see them as insigniﬁcant because the candidates are running for lower ofﬁces and it

does not often make headlines. “It is, however, just the contrary,” Colligan said. “Lower level elections at a state and local level impact you just as much, if not more so than the presidential election.” By voting down the ballot, you are able to share your opinion on specific issues with a candidate. “If a local state senator is running, your community’s stance on their issues will directly impact their race and vice versa,” Colligan said. “These local reps can pass policy directly affecting people in your community.” Colligan gave the examples of road maintenance and public school funding as possible issues candidates may have stances on. A community’s decision on these candidates can make differences in the issues that plague them daily. Due to a lack of popularity in voting in elections besides the presidential one, it can be hard to know who to choose to vote for. Signs are plastered throughout communities, peaking out be-

hind the giant Trump and “Hillary For Prison,” signs but they are nothing more than a name. It is important to fully educate yourself on the ideas behind these candidates. Colligan suggested informing yourself on their past voting record. “If you are informed on their voting record, you will know how to vote despite any kind of negative stigma surrounding them,” Colligan said. “Educate yourself on what their platform is on the issues you are concerned about.” As college students, besides the issue of student debt, we may not know exactly what issues should be a top priority for our candidates. Colligan suggested what he sees as the top three issues students should consider during elections. “One is addressing student loans,” Colligan said. “This requires candidates to want to increase public university funding and be able to reﬁnance student loans.” Colligan said his other top two
issues are modern education and training programs, as well as increased infrastructure spending. If nothing aggravates you more than how quickly your loans and debt are piling up, or the road you take every day that hasn’t been repaved in years, educate yourself. There are candidates in our local elections that want to do something about these issues. Sitting at home and not voting or only going to the voting booth to write in Donald Duck isn’t going to solve any of the issues that bother you. Instead of trying to decide between the lesser of two evils in our presidential race, vote for the other positions on the ballot. The winners of those elections will have a greater effect on your daily lives than whoever ends up in the Oval Ofﬁce. Do your community and yourself a favor and vote down the ballot. Do not ignore the other races simply because there isn’t a televised debate you can make a drinking game out of.

Fans pack Titan Stadium for Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 22 vs. UW-Platteville. 3121 people attend to watch the fifth ranked Titans defeat the 12th ranked Pioneers 22-13.
Titans pick up Homecoming victory TENNIS FROM PAGE
The Titans got the ball on their own 20-yard line and ran one play for 6 yards before the quarter came to an end. The drive for the Titans continued into the fourth quarter on their own 26-yard line. UWO ran six plays including a 26-yard completion from Kasper to wide receiver Dom Todarello and a 33-yard completion from Kasper to wide receiver Chad Redmer that brought the Titans to the Platteville 1-yard line. A 1-yard run from running back Dylan Hecker gave the Titans their first touchdown of the game and after a failed extra point from Wettstein, the Titans led 15 -6 with 13: 04 left in the game. Starting on their own 35 yard line, the Pioneers were able to move the ball 65 yards to score a touchdown from a 7 -yard pass from quarterback Tom Kelly to wide receiver Mitch Munda to cut the Titans’ lead to 15 13. The Pioneers’ kickoff went 5 7 -yards to the Titans 8-yard line, but another long return from Blackburn for 30 yards meant the Titans were able
to start their drive from their own 38. A 4 3-yard rush from Devon Linzenmeyer brought the Titans to the Platteville 19 and after a 19 -yard rush from Hecker and the made extra point, the Titans extended their lead to the eventual final score of 22-13. Blackburn said they have had a lingering feeling of not playing an entire game to their full potential considering the offense was only able to score one touchdown throughout the previous win against Stevens Point, but they were able to respond in a big way. “Moving forward now we know what our offense can do again against a great team,” Blackburn said. “It gives us a lot of confidence going into the next game.” Head coach Pat Cerroni said the team took a big confidence blow after the Whitewater loss, but win by win their confidence is growing. “We just need a couple more weeks here to practice and gain some confidence and feel good about ourselves,” Cerroni said. “That’s really what we’re focused on.” The Titans continue conference play on Sat., Oct. 29 at UW-River Falls. Kickoff is at 2: 30 p.m.

Volleyball goes 2-1 in Whitewater by Natalie Dillon firstname.lastname@example.org The UW Oshkosh women’s volleyball team picked up two wins this past weekend in the UW-Whitewater Invitational. The Titans defeated Loras College of Iowa in three sets and Elmhurst College of Illinois in four sets, but suffered a three set loss to Carthage College. Despite the better record, UWO ( 22-6) fell to Carthage ( 14 -10) 16-25 , 24 -26 and 30-32. Head coach Brian Schaefer said he was not impressed with the mentality of the girls. “We didn’t play very well against Carthage,” Schaefer said. “Carthage is a good team; we didn’t get upset by a ton. We just didn’t come out on the road mentally tough enough to play from the first serve.” In the first set, Carthage jumped to an early 12-3 lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The Lady Reds held onto a consistent seven-point lead the rest of the set. The Titans remained in the driver’s seat throughout most of the second set. They opened the set with a 3-2 lead, which built to 14 -8 on an ace from sophomore Tina Elstner. Behind 11-17 , Carthage went on a fivepoint run to close the gap to 16-17 . The two teams tied the set at 22-all and 24 -all before the Lady Reds captured the game with a kill and a Titan error. UWO also held a 19 -16 lead in the third set before Carthage went on a six-point run to establish a lead of 22-19 . Facing match point, the Titans battled to tie the set at 24 with kills from sophomore Carly Lemke and freshman Shannon Herman. UWO took the lead 25 -24 with a block from Lemke and Herman, but evened the score again with an error. Even though Oshkosh faced four more match points, they eventually fell with errors on the last two points. In order to keep leads, Herman said the team needs to battle until the game is done versus being satisfied with a lead.
“We need to be less content and keep pushing until the end instead of getting to 20 and totally shutting down,” Herman said. The Titans kept up with Carthage in service aces ( 5 -5 ) , but trailed in kills ( 30-5 6) , digs ( 4 6-66) and hitting percentage ( .131-.24 4 ) , with three Titans in negative percentages. Team leaders against Carthage included: Elstner with 10 kills and Herman who chipped in nine kills. Lemke provided three blocks, freshman Rachel G ardner supplied 12 digs, and senior Lexi Thiel racked up 30 assists and three service aces. UWO rebounded to defeat Loras College in three sets 25 -14 , 25 -23 and 25 -23. After the Duhawks scored the opening point, the Titans went on to score the next five to lead 5 -1. Their lead extended to 10-3 on a service ace from sophomore Brianna Witter. The Titans then went on a seven point run, aided by multiple kills from Elstner, to go up 16-8. For the rest of the set, the Titans didn’t lose the lead. To start the second set, UWO scored 11 of the first 13 points aided by six kills from various players and two service aces from sophomore Brianna V enturini. With a seemingly sound 24 -18 Oshkosh lead, Loras fended off five set points before freshman Samantha J aeke pounded out a kill to finish the set 25 -23. In the final set, the Duhawks took a 9 -3 lead. Trailing, UWO went on a four-point run to pull within two. Oshkosh took their first lead after a nine-point rally, including four blocks and four errors from Loras, to go up 17 -11. J ust as the previous set, the Duhawks didn’t let the Titans run away with the win easily. Loras battled against five match points before Lemke smashed a kill to close out the win. Herman said the team had a talk about the Carthage game and how to turn the negatives into positives for the Loras match. “Before the Loras game, we
thought about what we could change and do better,” Herman said. “We took our mistakes and turned them around. We didn’t want to just be aggressive. We wanted to be smart and aggressive with our shots.” J aeke had eight kills and Lemke put up seven kills, while G ardner and senior Laura Trochinski held the team up with 17 digs and 14 digs. Two players for the Titans recorded a double-double against Loras. Elstner totaled 15 kills and 12 digs to earn her ninth double-double of the season while Thiel contributed 30 assists and 10 digs to achieve her 30th career double-double. In the last match of the tournament, Oshkosh ranked 22nd, faced off against 16th ranked Elmhurst College of Illinois. G oing into the matchup, the Titans had lost the last five of six meetings since 2010. However, they would snap the streak and defeat Elmhurst in four sets. Despite a poor performance against Carthage the previous day, Elstner knew the team would play better. “I know we could have done a lot better against Carthage,” Elstner said. “After everyone got their jitters out, I knew we would play a lot better.” The Titans went ahead in the first set after a four-point run to lead 20-13. The run was highlighted by kills from Elstner, J aeke and senior Nerissa V ogt. Elstner also had an ace. However, the Bluejays rallied back to tie the set at 21 after six Oshkosh errors. Elmhurst would go on to win the first set 25 -23 off of two kills and an ace. In the second set, UWO took their first lead at 13-12. The lead swelled to 21-15 after three kills from Elstner and one from V ogt. The set ended on an Oshkosh block by sophomore Renee Rush and V ogt. To begin the third set, the Titans trailed 10-9 but went on a five-point run to claim a 14 -10 lead. UWO maintained the lead the rest of the way, as much as eight points, before capturing the set with a kill from Lemke.
On the brink of a fifth set, trailing 24 -22, Lemke and Rush put up a block in combination with a Bluejay error to tie the game at 24 . The Titans fended off two more set points before getting a kill from Elstner and capitalizing on a Bluejay error to clinch the match. Schaefer thought the win would help the team’s regional ranking. Oshkosh currently sits in fourth place behind UW-La Crosse, Elmhurst and UW-Whitewater in that order. Schaefer praised his players
the opportunities we get in the back of the net,” Alyssa said. “Every game, we want to be dangerous on the attack and hungry to score goals.” Alyssa tallied a total of four shots in the match against Marian University ( 4 -12) . The hunger to score continued once Maddie Morris and Robyn connected on passes that set up Ashley Baalke’s 15 -yard strike that found the back of the net in the 7 6th minute to make the score 4 -0. Sophomore Taylor Arnold had three total shots in the contest and added an insurance goal in the 87 th minute. This final goal of the match gave the Titans a 5 -0 lead. Kleis said the Titan offense finally found its sync and performed well when they needed to. “The offense is always a strong unit,” Kleis said. “[ We] have to take our opportunities to shoot when they are presented.” The Titans accumulated 30 shots in the entire contest, while holding Marian University to zero. Madelyn Runyan earned her fourth career shutout in her eighth start in goal. The Titans played to their roots and found a rhythm on the offensive side of the ball, Coppernoll said. “We are starting to gel on all levels [ offense and defense] ,” Coppernoll said. “We know that we will always get opportunities at shots. It’s a matter of putting them in when we get the chance.” Coppernoll said she saw
some positive things happen during the match. “Our team indeed played ‘ Oshkosh soccer’ the entire game,” Coppernoll said. “I still think we haven’t peaked yet so I am excited to see that moment. I’m hopeful it is yet to come.” Players, on an individual level, hold themselves accountable to play at the standard of Oshkosh soccer and practice what coach preaches, Alyssa said. “Every time I step out on the pitch I want to be a good leader, regardless if it is a good game or bad game,” Alyssa said. “I also expect myself to leave it all out on the field every game. I never want to walk away thinking I wish I would have done this, or I could have done that.” The Titans defeated the UW -Eau Claire Blugolds 1-0 on Saturday in Eau Claire. It was a defensive battle, but the Titans proved to be the victor after a Kleis game-winner in the 7 6th minute. Morris was credited with the assist. “The goal came from the only shot that I took that entire game,” Kleis said. “You can’t score if you don’t take the shots, so when you get the opportunity to take shot you need to keep your head down and strike the ball.” Coppernoll said Kleis has stepped up her game recently. “[ Alek] can strike a ball really well and has been making herself dangerous in the final third,” Coppernoll said. “This a great time of year to be getting hot as a forward.”
Oshkosh has won the last six matches against Eau Claire. Not only have the Titans won all six games, but also they have held Eau Claire scoreless in them as well. Coppernoll said the Titans found success defensively against the Blugolds, but the team did not do anything differently to prepare for it. “We have done nothing different against Eau Claire than anyone else,” Coppernoll said. “I think it might be a case of individual matchups rather than playing a different scheme of defense. Our defense did a good job of keeping a clean sheet on Saturday.” The Titan defense, led by Felicia Retrum and Erin G ruber, helped secure the 1-0 lead late in the second half. This shutout victory led to another clean sheet from Runyan. The Oshkosh women’s soccer team is now 3-3 in Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletics Conference competition. Coppernoll said she is not satisfied with that record. “Our conference play has been inconsistent,” Coppernoll said. “We play right there with a top quality team such as Whitewater but then struggle against teams that are under .5 00. I do think we are playing better ball than we did one week ago. G etting a road result against a good Eau Claire team was key.” UWO hosts UW-La Crosse on Saturday Oct. 29 at J . J . Keller Field at Titan Stadium in its final regular-season match.

No. 16 sophomore Carly Lemke tips the ball past UW-Eau Claire on Friday, Oct. 7. for beating a good Elmhurst team. “They are a solid team,” Schaefer said. “Last year we lost to them in five. Not only was it a good win to even the score with them but this year specifically for regional rankings. It gives us some separation as one of the top four teams in the rankings from the bottom four.” Leaders for the Elmhurst match included V ogt with six blocks and 13 kills, G ardner with 19 digs and Thiel with 4 5
assists combined with 13 digs. Elstner, who totaled 19 kills and 13 digs, earned her second consecutive and 10th season double-double. She was also named to the All-Tournament Team. In regards to her performance, Elstner does not register how well she plays; it just happens. “I’m not conscious of it,” Elstner said. “I think it’s cool, but it’s something I’m expected to do. I have high expectations for myself.”

The UW Oshkosh women’s soccer team cruised to a 5 -0 victory over Marian University on Monday at J .J . Keller Field at Titan Stadium. Five Titans scored on Monday night. This proved to be the most goals the Titans have scored in a match this season. Sophomore forward Alek Kleis got the Titans on the board first in the 18th minute when she connected on a 5 -yard shot. This was Kleis’ third goal of the season, and second goal in two games. “Alek Kleis has been turning up the heat lately,” UWO head coach Erin Coppernoll said. “She has been performing better and better each day and especially the last few games.” UWO ( 9 -7 -1) continued the onslaught when Robyn Elliott played AJ J ackson in the 29 th minute. That pass led to J ackson’s fourth goal of the season and gave the Titans a 2-0 advantage going into the half. Coming out of the half, the offensive power did not stop as Rachel Elliott added to the lead, making the score 3-0. Her goal came in the 4 9 th minute and Alyssa Arnold was credited with the assist. This was Rachel’s fifth goal of her senior season. Alyssa said she has seen significant improvement from the offense in recent weeks. “I think we’ve been working really hard on offense to put

Wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day is the common attire for those who celebrate everything Irish in March. Plus, with St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, there’s plenty of good eating and drinking that goes on during March Madness.
With food, drink, and celebrating the old Irish holiday couldn’t have come at a better time; here’s 3 classic recipes which are recommended by Martha Stewart for the St. Patrick’s Day lunch or dinner, and even a little dessert.
1. Corned beef stew.
Corned beef is a popular salt-cured with seasoning beef brisket. It’s the ideal St. Patrick’s Day traditional recipe. Corned beef and cabbage is the classic recipe in general. The homemade corned beef and vegetables is the way to make it, although eating it is half the fun, making it is the other. For the best results, cooking this recipe in a slow cooker is best. It should take about 5 hours, but, only 15 minutes to prep.
– 1 3 lb. corned beef brisket
– 1/2 head of cabbage (pref. Savoy) cut to 1 1/2″ wedges
– 1/2 lb. of small potatoes
– 2 celery stalks (Cut to 3″ pieces)
– 3 carrots (Cut to 3″ pieces)
– 1 sm. yellow onion (Cut to 1″ wedges, if root is on, leave it.)
– 6 thyme sprigs
– 1 pickling spices pack or 1 tblespn of pickling spice
– grainy mustard serving
Place the cut onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, and thyme in slow cooker. Next, put in the corned beef with the fat side upwards and right on top of all the veggies. Then sprinkle your pickling spices in it. Next, cover the inside of the cooker with enough water that it fills it up (about 4 to 6 cups). This should cover the “almost” cover the meat.
Now, simply cover it and turn your slow cooker on high. It should be ready in 4 1/2 to 5 hours or until beef is tender. If you put the cooker on low, it’ll be double the time (8 1/2 or so). Put the cabbage over the beef, cover, and then continue to cook until the cabbage is tender; it should be 45 minutes before the allotted time is done on high. If on low, put in the cabbage 1 1/2 hours before it’s done. When cooked completely, or when beef is tender, thinly slice the corned beef and serve with the vegetables, the liquid soup and the grainy mustard. It serves 6; enjoy!
2. Bangers and Mash
Bangers (aka British pork sausage) is one of few classic comfort foods, but it’s great on St. Patrick’s Day. The onion grave glazed with red wine makes it all more flavorful. This recipe serves 4 to 6 while prep time is 50 minutes with total time the same, 50 minutes.
– 5 russet potatoes 2 lb. peeled and cut into 1″ inch
– Kosher salt / pepper
– 2 tblespns unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 2 cups Irish cheddar
– Freshly grated nutmeg
– 2 tblspns extra-virgin olive oil
– 8 bangers (1 1/2 lbs.)
- 1 onion (8 oz.), peeled and cut, round thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
– 1/2 cup red wine
– 2 tblespns unbleached all purpose flour
– 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
– 1 tblespn. low-sodium soy sauce
– 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
In a medium pot add water, potatoes, and 2 tsps. of salt, cover and allow to boil. Then, reduce heat to mid-low range so as to simmer until tender; should only take about 10 minutes. Next, drain potatoes in a colander, return to pot and mash potatoes with butter, cheese, milk, and few gratings of nutmeg, then season with salt/pepper while keeping it warm.
You can preheat a large skillet with oil over med-high heat, then add bangers to cook. Turn so as to brown on all sides which will take no more than 6 minutes. Now transfer bangers to plate; return skillet to medium heat. Stir in onions to cook, Remove bangers to plate. Return skillet to medium heat. Add onions and cook while stirring until the onions turn brown and soften, then add wine and cook. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan by using a wooden spoon so as release brown bits. Notice how it gets reduced by 75%, this should take a 2-3 minutes. Then, add the flour and cook, stir only 1 minute. Now you can stir in soy sauce, broth, and Worcestershire.
Bring back the bangers from the plate so as to get all the juices to the skillet when you put them back in the skillet. Cook and bring to a boil while flipping around the sausages several times or when juices thicken to a gravy. Make sure that the bangers are cooked all the way, this should take 8 minutes. Now serve with the mashed potatoes.
3. Stout Braised Lamb
The secret to ‘lamb’ recipe is all on the searing of the pan. Making it 2-3 days ahead is rumored to be the best way to cook the lamb. Skim with a spoon the excess fat from surface of the braising liquid, only if you plan on eating it that same day. The recipe serves 8 while prepping time is 1 hour and 20 minutes, plus the total time is 5 1/2 hours.
– 6 cloves of minced garlic
– 2 sprigs of rosemary
– 2 tbsps. of tomato paste
– 2 tblespns. Worcestershire sauce
– 1 bottle (11.2 ounces) stout beer (i.e. Guinness)
– 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
– 1 jar of tomato jam or fruit chutney for serving
– 1 5 lb. of butterflied boneless lamb shoulder (trim fat and cut in half)
– Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
– 3 tblespns all-purpose flour
– 1 tblespn. extra-virgin olive oil
– 1 lg. peeled and coarsely chopped onion
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously season the lamb with salt/pepper, then sprinkle the lamb evenly with flour. Heat oil in a braised, but large deep-sided skillet over medium-high. Now work in the 2 batches of seared lamb, and put the fat side down first until brown. It should only take 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large platter.
Reduce the heat to medium and add onion to pan in order to cook. Stir occasionally for about 5-6 minutes or until soften, then stir in rosemary, garlic and tomato paste. Now stir ingredients for about a minute or until it becomes fragrant. Add Worcestershire, stout, and broth. Bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan. Return lamb, fat-side up, and any accumulated juices in pan, return to a boil. Cover pan and now transfer to oven so as to cook, spooning the juices over the lamb every half hour or until the meat is “fork tender.”
Remover from over, uncover and allow it to cool. You can cover it once it’s cool and refrigerate for at least 1 to 3 days. When you warm it up, removed the solidified fat from the top and place pan over medium-heat so as to simmer, covered, or until lamb is warmed up. This only takes 15 minutes. Using 2 forks, remove rosemary. Now cut or shred meat into large pieces. Next, you can transfer to a “tureen” and pour braising liquid all over the lamb. Serving with jam or chutney for more flavor is recommended.

A heavy dump truck traveling northward on South Main Street, just north of its intersection with Cold Spring Road, drove off the right side of the road and shattered a utility pole at its base Wednesday morning. Police then closed a half-mile section of South Main Street to through-traffic for about eight hours while utility repairs were underway.
Planning and Zoning Commission members are continuing their long-running review of a major mixed-use complex proposed for a 42-acre site in Hawleyville, which would include a 180-unit rental apartment complex on 21 acres, a diner on four acres, and a church on 17 acres. The commission recently reviewed certain developmental details during dual public hearings on the complex, which is proposed by two developers for the site that lies south of the Exit 9 interchange of Interstate 84 and west of Hawleyville Road.
Technically, the long completed Newtown High School addition is not yet complete. According to Public Building and Site Commission Chairman Robert Mitchell, a pesky leak that has confounded school maintenance and plant personnel, contractors, and consultants alike continues to occasionally drip pools of water into the rear cafetorium area of the addition. Mr Mitchell told The Newtown Bee, however, that officials closely monitoring the difficult-to-pin-down water intrusions are certain it is happening because of a failure to complete the installation of flashing behind a primary exterior wall.
After learning that hiring an investigator would cost roughly $15,000 to $20,000 to look into leaked board communications, the Board of Education decided at a special meeting on Wednesday, November 11, to look into both filing a Freedom of Information “complaint” and to refer the entire situation to the local Board of Ethics. The decision came after discussions at multiple meetings on the subject of an e-mail and a screenshot of a text message recently shared on social media. BOE Secretary Kathy Hamilton and board member David Freedman have both said they had shared a text message and email, respectively, but both have also stated they did not share what the board has referred to as "leaked communications" with the person who posted the information on social media, though neither revealed with whom they did share the information.
Democratic Registrar of Voters LeReine Frampton released the results of a District 2 Legislative Council recount, which was completed late in the afternoon of November 5. Ms Frampton notified The Newtown Bee on election night that the difference of 19 votes separating Republican Dan Wiedemann and Democrat Jennifer Padilla would force a recount unless Ms Padilla waived the procedure, which she did not. Once the results were tallied, Ms Frampton said each candidate lost a single vote off the initial count, but the outcome remained unchanged.
In the event of a tie vote, should Democrat James Gaston chair the newly elected Board of Finance based on the fact that he received the most votes on November 3? Or does Republican John Godin deserve consideration after being reelected as the finance board’s only incumbent? Or might any of the board’s newcomers best serve to lead this highly influential and primarily advisory panel? While these questions will be left unanswered until after the new slate of elected officials take office December 1, one thing is certain. There is at least a potential for a split vote on the 3-3 Board of Finance when it comes to electing a chair, and no formal provision to resolve such a stalemate according to Town Attorney David Grogins.
Veterans were welcomed into schools across the district on Wednesday, November 11, for celebrations and assemblies commemorating Veterans Day. At Newtown High School veterans enjoyed a lunch catered by the high school’s culinary students before an assembly in the school’s auditorium. Members of the NHS Chamber Choir and the NHS Band performed songs during the ceremony, like the “Star Spangled Banner,” and “American Salute.”
Members of the Board of Education, First Selectman Pat Llodra, Superintendent of Schools Joseph V. Erardi Jr, Assistant Superintendent of Schools Jean M. Evans Davila, and State Senator Tony Hwang were in attendance along with the invited veterans and speakers, including former US Marines Jason Georgetti and Ray Corbo, who both spoke during the assembly.
On Veterans Day, Mr Corbo said, people gather to honor and share gratitude for the sacrifices made by veterans.
Veterans stood to be recognized for serving in different armed conflicts, starting with World War II.
With a hand across her heart, Donna Monteleone opened Wednesday’s Veterans Day ceremony with a prayer for the “devotion of those who have fought for freedom, and those who laid down their lives.” Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 308 chaplain and also a veteran, Ms Monteleone addressed a crowd of post members and supporters whose faces and service spanned decades. Korean War veteran George Lockwood Sr stood just a few paces away from younger veterans, including current US Marine Corps Sergeant Dustin Gill.
An accident shortly after 8 am this morning has led to the closure of an approximate 800-yard section of South Main Street. A Botsford firefighter encountered the incident, which was described as a truck vs pole accident in the area of Cold Spring Road. Roadways were wet this morning with intermittent rain. The driver of the industrial sized dump truck that struck a pole was reportedly uninjured. The pole that was struck was on the east side of South Main Street, approximately 75 yards south of the roadway’s intersection with Cold Spring Road.

Barabanki: A 20-year-old college student was allegedly stabbed to death in full public view near Palhari Crossing in Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki, following a physical confrontation between two groups over an Instagram reel made a year ago, police said.
The victim, Shuganto Sharma, had previously filed a police complaint after which he allegedly received threat calls from the other group members, who had made a reel of thrashing Sharma in December last year.
Shuganto worked for a telecom company while pursuing his graduation degree from a local college.
The police, who took one of the key accused in the case into custody, said Shuganto’s family lodged a complaint against three persons with whom he had a year-old dispute.
Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) (South), Akhilesh Narain Singh said that Shuganto’s brother Saurabh had informed the police that the former was getting life threats since he had lodged an FIR against one Aman and Salim.
He said a case was registered against the accused and the charge-sheet was filed in January this year. However, the accused, who were out on bail, still threatened Shuganto on Instagram and other social media platforms.
The police official said that Shuganto received a similar threat call again after which he, with two of his friends, had a face-off with the other group members at a tea stall. The disagreement escalated after which Shuganto was stabbed and he died of fatal injuries at the district hospital.
“The assailants made a quick escape as the incident had triggered panic among the passers-by. Shuganto’s friends, Farhan and Shadab, also suffered injuries and were undergoing treatment at a local hospital. A heavy police force has been deployed at the crossing after the incident,” the official added.
The ASP said a case was registered under relevant sections for murder, attempt to murder, use of a deadly weapon and causing panic among the public in the IPC, against Aman, Salim and Raja, and other unidentified people connected to the case.

A List of Countries in the World and where it is Safe to Travel
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe… Catch the tourist by the toe… if it holler let it go… eeny meeny, miny, moe”
It doesn’t have to be by chance that your trip would be wonderful and worry free when you can plan ahead of your trip. Here’s a list of countries all over the world by continent, with their current situation or note worthy news as of today (November 12, 2015).
Countries in Europe and where it is Safe to Travel (coming soon)
Countries in Oceania and where it is Safe to Travel (coming soon)
Overall, European nations came in at the top of the list with Iceland on the top spot. Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand joins the top 10.
However, exercising sensible precaution is necessary and travel only when necessary to these dangerous countries to travel to:
- South Sudan
- Central African Republic
- Democratic Republic of Congo
- North Korea
Philippines ranked #141 mainly due to the dispute in South China Sea / West Philippine sea (and we thought it was due to traffic and the laglag bala scheme in our airports). Part of the low grade is due to the incident in Mindanao, which, apparently was the tests were conducted.
With a general overview of our country and the places we plan to visit, we could somehow gauge where our next travel destination will be, or if you are feeling adventurous, fly to Beijing and get in touch with a local travel agent there that sends tourists to North Korea.

Don't chat with Muslims singles if you're not severe

The ‘Justice’ System.
There’s about a million things that I’ve wanted to write about recently but with my end of year exams coming up I’ve just not had the time, but this topic is one that I find particularly frustrating.
I do legal studies(year 12 in the Australian high school system) and we where recently looking at Criminal Sanctions and I found myself become very annoyed over the aims of sanctions as well as the adversary system in general. It became very apparent to me that the Criminal ‘Justice’ System was far more worried about how it treated the accused then actually achieving justice for the victim/victims family and I found myself butting heads with the rest of the class fairly often.
I personally think that the legal system is broken and that it really doesn’t do what it should do which is deter people from committing crimes, punish those who do and protect society. How many times have we heard of people getting away with something awful because of a lack of evidence even though its clear to everyone that said person did it. I find it frustrating that someone can screw up other peoples lives though crime and get off on stupid things and then be protected with double jeopardy, not to mention that a defense barrister is required to represent their client even if the client has admitted they did it! For every person who has committed a crime there is a least one victim who had their rights and civil liberties taken away, the criminal who did that to them as therefore automatically given up their own rights.
I don’t know a whole lot about the Inquisitorial system of trail but I do know that it’s main aim is to find out the truth of what happened, not give the parties total control or any of that crap and I think that the Adversary system really could learn a lot. I think the country would be a better place if there was more suspicion placed on the accused and less inadmissible evidence, I shudder to think just how many criminals have gotten off because something important was ruled inadmissible or because some jury is too idealistic to believe that yes another human being can rape and torture someone for five days before dumping them on the side of the road. Wake up and do your job!

Today, the American Bakers Association (ABA) strongly urged the U.S. Senate to vote in favor of an amendment to the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013, or the Senate Farm Bill, reforming the current U.S. Sugar Program. “The current sugar program costs consumers as much as $3.5 billion a year,” said ABA President and CEO Robb MacKie, in a letter to the Senate. “With today’s anemic job growth, it is unconscionable that Congress would continue to support a program that has caused the loss of over 127,000 jobs between 1997 and 2010,” he continued.
“The sugar program has been a windfall program for sugar growers,” added Cory Martin, ABA Director of Government Relations. “While bakers have been paying record-high prices for U.S. sugar, growers have been enjoying a program that subsidizes their industry with billions of dollars each year.”
“This year alone, the American tax payer is set to get stuck with a $100 million bill due to the program’s Feedstock Flexibility Program that forces the USDA to buy up any surplus in domestically-produced sugar and sell it to ethanol producers at a severe loss,” continued Martin, “yet, it is claimed that the sugar program operates at zero net cost.”
“Additionally, according to the Canadian Government, bakers could save 30 to 40 percent on sugar cost by relocating production up north. In fact, Canada developed a marketing brochure urging U.S. food producers to move their production facilities to Canada in order to gain access to the world sugar market,” said Martin.
The Senate is set to begin floor deliberations of the 2013 Farm Bill this week.

I loved this idea that I saw on Rachelle and Karen's blogs. Every day until February 15th I'll be blogging about something I love.
There are so many things that I love. It's hard to pick which one to start with.
I love writing. It allows me to create. It has given me countless new friends (both living and non-living). It gives me time for introspection. It lets me play with words. It is satisfying and rewarding. It's also a lot of work, but work that is worth it. It makes me happy.

New model and simulation of condenser for ship nuclear power plant
- 85 Downloads
A new reasonably perfect dynamic mathematic model has been established for condenser used in ship nuclear power plant according to its structural features and operating principle. The model has been solved by the Runge-Kutta method. And an analysis program has been developed for dynamic numerical simulation under steady operation condition, disturbance condition, and accident condition. The dynamic characteristics of condenser has been calculated and analyzed under several kinds of disturbances, and the results of calculation are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.
