Some homework that my mentor left me for my two weeks off is to crumble news paper so that I can improve my grip. For the reason that having good grip is important in my career choice!

EQ
1.
"I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."
My EQ: How can I best reduce the risk of an injury or fatality while best completing the task given to me?
2.
(a) I feel like this EQ is somewhat well structured and isn't a yes or no question. It has a good point because
here are many answers/opinions that can go in it with plenty of research to back up those answers & opinions.
(b) The EQ is very strong because it offers a good 'fight' or argument which can have many opinions backed up with a lot of research. Isn't a yes or no question.
(c) This EQ might need some rethinking because it doesn't feel as strong, but it does offer a variety of answers because through history there have been many hair styles, but also its good that its not a yes or no question.
(d) Its focusing on a certain part of this career and maybe this EQ can be rewritten to ask something more in depth about the whole career not just one task that is given in this career, but its still well structured, and it shows that one can find a lot of research for it. But also it isnt a yes or no question.
3.
How can I reassure the safety of my crew and I while securely completing the job?

Research and Working EQ
1. Working EQ: How can i best reduce the risk of injury or fatality while completing the task given to me?
2. Make sure the procedures for the job have been completed before starting.
3. I must say that my mentor has been the biggest help because my research helped get me started but he actually talked to me how they take affect. Also gave me a detailed description on how every state has its own policies and regulations to follow.
4. My mentors name is Mark Werndorf and he works for water and power and is a Line-men instructor for the information that is needed. The facility is in sun valley, a but far but also he has introduced me to other instructors who run the safety climbing drills and technical instructors and a lot I can learn from there. Everything that I've learned from there has helped me get my first answer to the EQ.

Mentorship
My first time coming to my mentorship here at the Department of Water & Power (10-09-13) I got a tour of the facility and my mentor gave me a brief power point on what he has to offer as in his knowledge. It may be a bit far but It's worth it because this place has so much to offer as to where I can learn the skills needed and actually see the process when the trainees train!

Blog 7 Independent Component Approval 1
1. I plan on doing my Independent Component in a 2 hour class every Wednesday, I will be learning about the technicality and process of the job and all the aspects of the work and how its done. All of the equipment that is used and vehicles, and techniques that the workers use to get around difficult situations.
2. I will create a digital spread sheets showing all the hours I have spent and frequently post pictures on the blog to show everyone my progress.
3. My mentor has the knowledge and educational background that will help answer all my questions and he has many more contacts and opportunities that I can take advantage of so that I can further my knowledge. I will be taking notes on the lectures and power points that my mentor will be showing and also the activities that he will make the workers do. That way I can see what the process is and skills that the workers need.

Interesting Research
Repair and rehabilitation of wood utility poles with fibre-reinforced polymers:
Something really cool that I found out in this article was the new innovative ways that the professionals in my career choice are doing things now a days. They have found a way to continue using the same wooden poles for the electrical lines but have found a way to reinforce them into making them last longer and most importantly, a lot stronger and durable. Which helps make sure that its stable and reduces the risk of any accidents due to the poles. Also it can now carry more weight, thus now making it safer for the workers who repair and maintain it.
