Get Off the Hamster Wheel! How to
Stop Being Busy and Start Getting
Results
Many entrepreneurs feel like they’re going
at full speed and getting nowhere fast. Others are so overwhelmed by their “Too Much To
Do” list that they become paralyzed. What do
both groups have in common? Frustration, disappointment, and a yearning for the results
that have so far eluded them. Successful entrepreneurs are able to identify and commit to
doing the right things the right way at the right
time. In this pedal-to-the-metal session, you’ll
begin working through five steps that enable
you to join those successful entrepreneurs.
Whether you need to slow down so you can get
off that busy-but-not-productive hamster
wheel, or you need to break out of inaction and
start moving forward, this session will propel
you into the fast lane of exciting results.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) occurs when
the heart fails to adequately pump blood
throughout the body. The faulty pumping
means the body doesn’t get the oxygen it
needs, blood backs up in the veins and lungs
and other changes occur that make the heart
even weaker. Participants will review the pathophysiology of CHF, discuss the different types
of cardiomyopathy, review current medications
and discuss the care of the patient with heart
failure. This class, which is offered as an independent module in the “Management of the
Critically Ill Patient” series, is designed for the
healthcare professional who is taking care of
patients across the continuum in multiple settings, such as the emergency department, critical care unit, medical/surgical units and home

enhance their current knowledge and assessment skills will find the content of this course
useful. The facilitator is an experienced nurse

Water Pipe Sizing for Plumbers
(online)
This online course covers the most commonly
used UPC method of sizing water distribution
systems as described in Code sections 610.7 610.9. This is the sizing that will be used in the
course you are beginning. It should be noted
that the Uniform Plumbing Code offers three
other ways to size water piping systems. Appendix A is useful in sizing larger systems, especially if the water supply fixture units and length limits in Table 6-6 are exceeded. Appendix L allows
for separate fixtures in a bathroom to be sized
as a group. This allows for large apartment
complexes and condos to be more economically sized. Footnote three in Table 6-5 permits
fixtures, in branches that are supplied with both
hot and cold piping, to be assigned 75 percent
of their Table 6-5 values. The benefit, in larger
installations is cost savings that could result
from smaller pipe sizes being required. The authority having jurisdiction should be consulted
before using any option other than the standard
sizing method. This class has been approved by
the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board
for two hours of plumbing discipline.

This course is a study of the supply and the distribution of plumbing water systems. Chapter
6 of the Uniform Plumbing Code requires the
delivery of safe and clean potable water. This is
accomplished by establishing minimum installation standards, from the building service to the
most remote outlet. An adequate supply of water is required to meet all the demands that may
be placed on the system. This class has been
approved by the Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical

This is a self-guided study of Chapter 9 of
the Uniform Plumbing Code. An advantage of
this type of study is that you can work at your
convenience and at your own pace. Chapter
9 deals with the subject of vents. The correct
installation of vent components and systems
insures that the drainage system will flow
properly, it will reduce possible future system
problems, and it will protect the health of the
building’s occupants. This chapter is one of
the corner stones that the Uniform Plumbing
Code is built upon. The understanding of venting requirements is an essential element of
plumbing. This class has been approved by the
Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board
for two hours of plumbing code.

CNC Machinist
This course is designed to help you become
more familiar with the Uniform Plumbing Code.
This is accomplished by asking a series of
questions. To receive the greatest benefit you
should take the time to find each answer in
your code book. Do not guess. The answers to
these questions, as well as the answers that
you will need when you take the Journey Plumber Test with Gas, will be from the 2009 Uniform Plumbing Code, not what you may or may
not practice in the field. The knowledge and
skill you gain from this course will be based
on the effort that you put into it. Each set of
questions are based on a specific chapter of
the code book. In the actual journey plumber
test, the questions are random and result in
a wider search area of the code book for each
answer. This course was intentionally not set
up in that manner. Instead, each set of questions concentrate on individual chapters, this
is to give you a deeper depth of study of the
specific topic that is being covered in each
chapter. An advantage of an online class is
that you can work at your convenience and at
your own pace. However, the journey person
test is timed and this luxury will not be there.

Thoughts Become Things: The Art of
Changing Your Life
What would it be worth to you to feel you
had the power to create whatever results
you wanted in business, in relationships, or in
life? What would you be willing to give up in order to enjoy those results? Here’s the deal:
You already have the power. To tap it, all you
need to give up is some limiting beliefs and
counter-productive habits of thought. In this
course, you’ll learn and begin to apply principles of conscious creation as developed by
Mike Dooley, one of the stars of “The Secret”.
We’ll explore such topics as the role played by
your beliefs and emotions, the necessity of
taking action, how you can deliberately use
your hunches and dreams, and much more.
Thought Become Things: The Art of Changing
Your Life will open you up to your own creative
power and add a new level of delight to everyday life. Materials fee $5.

Search Engine Optimization Basics
(SEO)
The Internet is all about information and content
- optimized content is the foundation of the web.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process
of getting your website pages listed so that they
show up in the organic (“natural”) search engine
results, preferably as high in the rankings as
possible. More and more people are using the
Internet to find local products, services, and
businesses. 91.5% of web traffic goes to the
websites that are savvy enough to show up on
the first page of search engine results. If you’re
a business owner, marketing manager, developer/programmer, website designer or someone
who is just plain interested in getting into digital
marketing, you must learn at least the basics of
SEO. Tuition includes a textbook.
Beginning Website Programming
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
This certificate is for those who wish to go
beyond Web design to make Web pages that
are dynamic and interactive. Start with the
essential technologies of HTML and CSS, the
foundational building blocks for Web
development. Next, you’ll cover the popular
computer languages, JavaScript, jQuery, and
PHP. Finally, you will learn about how to
integrate PHP with a MySQL database to store
and retrieve information. Get started in the fast
growing field of open source technologies.
