U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) administers programs that provide much-needed infrastructure or infrastructure improvements to rural communities. These include water and waste treatment, electric power and telecommunications services. All of these services play a critical role in helping to expand economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for rural residents.
The cooperative is a full-service provider, providing voice, video, data, broadband, home security, cloud services and data center solutions.
Because of the lower customer density in rural regions such as this NCTC has been an active borrower with U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service (RUS) since 1951 to provide service to subscribers in Tennessee and Kentucky, that rival companies in metropolitan areas.
Over the past 10 years, NCTC has received funds in the form of $101,782,663M in loans and $25,930,868M in grants.
The companyâs most recent loan, which was obligated in 2017, will be used to make system improvements in 5 of North Central's 10 exchanges (Green Grove, Hillsdale, Red Boiling Springs, Scottville, and Lafayette). This will complete their fiber to the premises network throughout their territory. This project is currently in the âconstructionâ phase.
In February of 2008 tornados destroyed much of the area and took many lives, NCTC began working to build a safe, tier II+ facility that is EF-5 Tornado resistant with SSAE16 security validation. The data center houses the telephone soft switch for NCTC customers and offers North Central Cloud Solutions. Through the Cloud, North Central offers virtualized computing and networking services including off-site data back-up, hosted servers, disaster recovery, and secure data storage.

Zama, Japan – When Army Sgt. Jery L. Hernandezpilier stepped off the tour bus and onto Nissan's Zama Operations Center, he expected to see a few concept cars and a maybe a compact rolling lazily off an assembly line.
It didn't take long for Hernandezpilier and his fellow Soldiers from U.S. Army Japan's motor pool in Camp Zama who joined the June 18, 2015, tour to realize that their hosts had a special way to show their distinguished guests in uniform what their corporate motto, “The power comes from the inside,” defines the Nissan community.
“This was more than your typical tour of an assembly line,” said Hernandezpilier, a power generation equipment repairer for Headquarters & Headquarters Company USARJ. “Nissan didn't just showcase their machines. It introduced to the very people who build these machines.”
Shuji Narazaki, manager of Nissan's human resources division, welcomed his honored guests with an introduction of four of the company's finest technicians.
“These young men before you will represent Japan in the 2015 WorldSkills Olympics in Brazil,” said Narazaki to the small but lively crowd of Soldiers and cameras. “Today they will demonstrate their craftsmanship as they prepare to compete on the world stage.”
According to its official website, the WorldSkills Olympics stands as the largest professional conference in world history. Thousands of technicians hailing from more than 50 countries converge in one city every two years to compete in one of dozens of career specialties from manufacturing and mobile robotics to hairdressing and graphic design. In August, four of Nissan's young professionals will join Team Japan as they pursue bronze, silver and (preferably) gold medals through their engineering expertise.
After watching a brief video summarizing Nissan's achievements in previous WorldSkills Olympics, the hosts divided their guests into three groups and led them to one of three rooms. There, the troops witnessed firsthand the stellar speed and pinpoint precision exemplified by these automotive savants.
“Never in all my years working in and around vehicles have I seen a single person disassemble an entire engine, diagnose the problem, fix it and reassemble the engine in 45 minutes,” recalled Hernandezpilier, a native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. “Amazing still is the fact that this man is not yet old enough to legally drink [alcohol] in the U.S. His skills and knowledge showed us that youth and inexperience are not always related.”
While Shintaro Matsumoto manipulated the engine with the speed of a NASCAR pit crew, his companions – Shogo Abe, Mizuki Tatsuno, Daiki Wada – toiled in separate rooms with their unique projects.
“[Abe] was busy designing a complex part with finite resources using a CAD (Computer Based Design Program) while [Tatsuna and Wada] were busy building an assembly line that would soon produce [Abe's] design,” said Hernandezpilier. “Their speed and precision brought shock and awe to our group.”
Standing alongside Hernandezpilier and his motor pool companions was Army Command Sgt. Maj. Rosalba Dumont-Carrion, command sergeant major of U.S. Army Garrison Japan. As she admired Nissan's prodigies, Dumont-Carrion could also sense where Nissan's philosophy and the Army values intersected.
“Nissan and the Army cherish commitment and uphold integrity,” said Dumont-Carrion, a native of Apopka, Fla. “We both respect those who serve us with honor and award them with limitless opportunities to grow in their profession thanks to a diverse career plan that spans several decades.”
After shaking hands, posing for group photos and wishing one another the very best in their career endeavors, the tour guides led their American guests to the Nissan Heritage Museum. A narrow hallway partially disguised as a modest warehouse entrance unveiled an eclectic collection of Nissan's diverse line of vehicles dating as far back as the 1930s.
“The site almost brought a tear to my eye,” said Hernandezpilier. “It’s hard to imagine how much time and talent was required to build, maintain and restore these vehicles … Fair Ladies, Skylines, [Datsun] Roadsters … It's a dream come true.”
Ayaro Eguchi, the group's tour guide, explained that a majority of the the more than 350 cars, trucks, vans and even race cars were donated by private owners or collectors, and approximately 70 percent of them remain in operable condition. A 1935 Datsun Roadster pulling up to the tour group punctuated her point.
“Nissan is a brand that has literally made its way to every major road in the world,” said Dumont-Carrion. “The Japanese people have every right to showcase this achievement. The fact that Nissan personally invited us to see this speaks volumes of their respect for the U.S. Army.”
As the Soldiers and Department of Defense civilians bade farewell and boarded the Nissan tour bus bound for Camp Zama, Hernandezpilier and Dumont-Carrion reflected on the long-term impact of their visit.
“It was a beautiful experience,” said Hernandezpilier. “We got exclusive access to Japan's master craftsmen who have inspired me to master my craft.”
“I cannot be more proud of my fellow Soldiers as they show our gracious hosts what it means to be a professional in the United States Army, said Dumont-Carrion. “The heart of the Army lies with its Soldiers and families, and here at Nissan, I saw the same relationship between the company and its community.”

This day provides the opportunity for library technicians to promote ALIA, the profession, and their role in libraries and to celebrate their many achievements.
Over the weekend, technicians and engineers at Kennedy Space Center put the finishing touches on the crew module that will fly in December on Orion's first spaceflight. And it looks amazing!
The black crew module is sitting on top of the white service module in the first photo here. In the last three photos, the crew module is covered by protective foil as it and the service module are lifted for the installation of the Orion-to-stage adapter ring, made by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. It will connect Orion to the Delta IV Heavy rocket that will launch Orion 3,600 miles above Earth in less than three months!
Technicians move the Orion heat shield for Exploration Mission-1 toward the thermal chamber in the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building high bay at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Protective pads were attached to the heat shield surface. The heat shield will undergo a thermal cycle test to verify acceptable workmanship and material quality. The test also serves to verify the heat shield's thermal protection systems have been manufactured and assembled correctly. The Orion spacecraft will launch atop NASA's Space Launch System rocket on it first uncrewed integrated flight.

Technicians help attach the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage Umbilical (ICPSU) onto the A Tower mobile launcher simulator at the Launch Equipment Test Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The ICPSU will be put through a series of tests on the simulator. The umbilical will provide super-cooled hydrogen and liquid oxygen to the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket's interim cryogenic propulsion stage, or upper stage, at T-0 for Exploration Mission-1. The umbilical will be located at the 240-foot level of the mobile launcher and will supply fuel, oxidizer, gaseous helium, hazardous gas leak detection, electrical commodities and environment control systems to the upper stage of the SLS rocket during launch. Kennedy's Engineering Directorate is supporting testing efforts. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program at Kennedy is overseeing the tests. Photo credit: NASA/Glen Benson
“Technicians lowered the nose cone of the Juno II rocket over the pay load of instruments designed to measure radioactivity in space. The instruments in the satellite have already sent back much data to tracking stations.”
That is a LUNAR probe…the FIRST US probe to escape Earth's gravity, and the ONLY successful lunar probe launched by the U.S. in 12 attempts between 1958 and 1963. AND it was to “photograph” the moon when it got close enough! It didn't happen, but still...
Awesome.
A young man holding the incandescent utility/work light - outstanding. I’d be willing to wager few under the age of 20 even know what incandescent means.

Samuel Kilonzo (left), a research technician at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) Njoro research station, shares extension materials with a farmer during a field visit in the Kenyan Highlands. The farmer's field is suffering from a heavy grass infestation and her wheat infected with stem rust, as she has little knowledge of how to prevent these problems and few resources to afford inputs such as herbicide or fungicide. Kilonzo explains some important information about the disease to the farmer, such as how the disease survives and preventative measures she can take.
The fungus causing the disease is the virulent Ug99 race of stem rust. This was discovered in Uganda in 1999 and is now endemic in the area. It has already caused severe losses in epidemics around the world, as it is able to overcome the resistance of popular wheat varieties. As part of a global effort, CIMMYT is working with KARI to screen thousands of wheat lines at Njoro every year to identify sources of durable resistance and test resistant lines.
