Additive Manufacturing at Alfa Romeo Sauber
How the Swiss Formula One team is using additive manufacturing (AM) to meet the engineering challenges required by the sport.
Success in Formula One racing demands engineering and manufacturing prowess as much as it requires driving skill. F1 teams produce just a few cars per season (two that can race plus a third disassembled in spare parts), but these vehicles need to be manufactured to the technical regulations put in place by the FIA, the governing body of motorsports.
In addition to general shape and size restrictions, the FIA also places limitations on wind tunnel usage, allowing teams no more than 25 hours of wind-on time per week and the use of only 60 percent scale models. Teams need to produce scale models of their cars and prototype parts for wind tunnel testing, as well as the full-sized final car parts.
Featured Content
Alfa Romeo Sauber, an F1 team based in Switzerland, is using additive manufacturing (AM) to help meet manufacturing requirements and boost the performance of its race cars. When European Correspondent Barbara Schulz visited Sauber headquarters, she discovered that the team 3D prints about 5,000 parts per month for third-party customers as well as its own racing needs. 3D-printing applications include prototypes and fixtures, as well as wind tunnel models and even end-use car parts.
Many of these parts are printed in polymer, but about 1,000 per month are printed in metal. Sauber recently invested in two MetalFab1 systems from Additive Industries powder-bed fusion systems designed for production use. In addition to the core 3D-printing process, each system also integrates heat treatment, build-plate handling and storage. The systems offer the build volume, repeatability and process control that the team needs to manufacture its car parts in house.
3D printing enables Sauber to rapidly iterate part designs, and even to manufacture variations on the same part simultaneously, reducing the lead time that it takes to get parts into the wind tunnel. The technology also allows the team to manufacture racecar parts with designs and features not possible through conventional manufacturing methods, such as a Scalmalloy roll hoop with a lightweight design that keeps the car's center of gravity low to the ground.
Learn how Sauber has been able to reduce production lead time by more than 20 percent with additive manufacturing in this report.

Oh God…. I know what's about to happened. And you know what?
I'm sick of it.
Heyy ya'll! I'm back with long over due blog post but you get my gesture. Right? RIGHT? I know right. WRONG!
So, since last blog post… There has been A LOT happening in my life. Great things, life changing things, and just overall trying to stay positive in the mist of it all.
"So, What's been up?"
Well… I got a new full time job which I LOVE so much and got pretty lucked up.
The company found me on LinkedIn! (If you don't have a Linkedin Account… I suggest you get one!) And ever since then, I've been living my best life!
If you don't know…I am a Visual Merchandiser where I am in charge of the artisty of Mannequins you see in the lovely window when you're window shopping! ^_^
I can write a more in dept blog post on what I do as a visual merchandiser 😉
Besides than, I turn 23 on November 12th (wooo)
I celebrated with all my friends and had a great time!
In all seriousness, 23 is like turning 19 so I didn't feel any different at all.
Does anybody else feel that way when you turned 23? Or it is just me because I can be a little dramatic lol!
In all honestly, over the past few months have also been challenging as well. The reason being, I still don't know what to do with my life and everyone seem like I have it all together and TRUST ME… I really don't. I'm just winging it 99.99 % of the time. But, for some reason… I keep coming back with blogging and Youtube so maybe I do have a purpose… I know someone can understand how that feels. I'm trying to do everything… but I have to start taking the time to really put in thought into doing what I love.
I was debating if I should wait to post on New Years but then, I started to think why not now? I should start NOW instead of waiting! I need this kind of motivation 24/7! LOL.
I'm so horrible at being consistent, especially with my blog now that FearlessKryss is coming up on 3 YEARS!!! (oh my god, don't make me cry). Again, you know I can't let this blog post by without letting you guys know how thankful I am for you. ❤
We shall be consistent all YEAR!!
What keeps you motivated?

WSRP Leader Hutchison: "We Have a Mountain to Climb"
State Republicans kick off 2016 governor's race with YouTube ad and mountain-climbing analogies.
The Washington State Republican Party has released a YouTube video to get members excited about the 2016 gubernatorial election.
The expenditure on the ad—shot partially inside WSRP Chair Susan Huthison's $3.2 million Seattle home—hasn't been reported yet. But the tortured metaphors—Hutchison wants "to be roped up with you"— are priceless and nearly as clunky as Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee's sweeping analogies.

In Fall 2020, The Department of Statistics is bringing you a unique learning opportunity in statistical analysis: STAT 200—conducted online, open to all students, and relevant to all disciplines.
Statistics is to data what grammar is to words. And like grammar, it is only interesting if used to understand something interesting. In STAT 200, we use statistics to research a topic we are all interested in—ourselves. We collect data on ourselves through anonymous surveys, with a focus on topical social questions.
Our work is guided by three main goals:
To use a conceptual, intuitive approach to understand a set of complex statistical methods.
To determine whether predictors are also causes.
To learn to use statistical software, both to help us understand how they operate and to employ them in our calculations.
Statistics is a collection of valuable tools. The key is to understand which ones to use, when, and why. In a landscape where large stores of information have become readily available, you can either choose to ignore the information, or you can choose to make sense of it. In STAT 200 Online, you will collect tools to guide you in the latter. You will find empowerment in statistical analysis, and ultimately, in your field.

Written by Kendall Job, Marketing & Communications Intern
Hi there! My name is Kendall, and I'd like to give you a look at the day in the life of an online college student. Like many other students, I hadn't planned on taking courses fully online, but I've quickly found that it is totally doable and can be really fun once you get organized and know your responsibilities for each day. Follow along below to see what a day in my life looks like as well as a few tips on taking online courses from my friends!
7:30am - Wake Up
I only have class two days a week, and the other three days I work my internship remotely (here at Illinois Online!). Today is a Tuesday, so I have three classes back to back and need to be awake for classes through Zoom. I wake up around 7:30 am for my 8:00am class, then go right into my 9:30 am and 11:00 am classes.
7:45 am - Breakfast
With online classes, you don't have the most strict schedule, nor do you spend any time walking (or running) to class like we normally would on campus. Breakfast has become increasingly important for me to get through these first few hours of the day filled with classes. It helps to keep me focused and on task until I can take a brain break after class.
12:30 pm - Plan for the day
After my final class ends, I take a look at what I need to accomplish throughout the remainder of the day. I like to go through my planner in order to see all my assignments written down and in my head so I can stay on track with my coursework. My friend Lauren, who's studying Nursing, is an avid user of her planner. When it comes to staying organized in online classes, she said, "Creating checklists in my planner has helped me get everything done in an orderly and timely fashion. Crossing things off my checklists not only provides me satisfaction but also keeps me organized in knowing what I have and haven't completed for the week." It's usually around this time that I plan out the specific tasks I want and need to accomplish for my internship the next day, too, so everything is planned out, and I can get right to work the next morning.
1 pm - lunch
Since I'm at home while taking online classes, I take a break for lunch near the middle of my work day. I try to eat lunch with my mom since she works from home, too, and we usually take a break from staring at our computer screens to catch up and spend time together. I have to admit; we do love the Food Channel, so sometimes we have that playing in the background as we cook and eat!
1:30 pm - Homework
I like to start working on my actual assignments for the week after lunch. Since I have class in the morning, I can structure the rest of my day with what I need and want to accomplish. Kelly, who's an English student here at Illinois, told me her biggest tip for online learning is to create structure in your daily routine. "Since we don't have the ability to go to a physical class, try your best to make that setting at home. Plan to do assignments at certain times in the day - even planning meals and other activities helps with structure." I find this advice especially helpful with one of my Gen Ed courses, which is Introduction to Epidemiology. It sounds scary, but it's actually pretty interesting! There are fewer tasks for this course in particular, but each one is time consuming, so I like to plan out which days I want to accomplish each assignment so it's ready to be turned in by the deadline.
3 pm - Workout
It's around this time I usually start to hit a wall with school and need to take a break to focus on something else. Since we're all at home right now, staying active is super important to me. I'll grab some weights and a workout mat and find a YouTube workout video to follow for around 30 minutes. Personally, I think it's important to take time for yourself throughout the day to do other things. My friend Ashley, who studies English and Political Science, gave some great advice. "I think in order for students to succeed online, they need to be understanding with themselves… it is crucial that we as students are not so hard on ourselves and give ourselves credit for trying and adapting." While online classes are convenient, it can be easy to hole up all day. Find something fun to do to get moving, even if it's just an at-home workout or a walk around your neighborhood.
4:00 pm - Back to work
After a quick shower, I now have this time to delegate to other things. One of my online classes, Issues in Contemporary Sport, has a film we are required to watch each week. This is a good time for me to watch the film of the week because I get to relax and also check something else off my to do list of classwork for the week. Although I say "relax," my friend Brendan, who studies Computer Engineering at Illinois, reminds all of us that online classes are no time to slack off on your work. He told me, "Just because you're home… absolutely does not mean that the work and the classes are any less demanding of you. Don't slack off and remember that the semester is still in session!"
6 pm - Dinner
My mind starts to wind down from school around 6pm, when I usually eat dinner. After this, I'm pretty much done for the day, unless I have a big project to work on or an exam to study for. Again, it's important to take some time for yourself each day where you're not doing or thinking about classwork. I like to take the evenings to recharge for the next day and get some sleep before the next day of work!
While school and online classes are a priority, it's also extremely important to take care of your body and mind, especially now. Whether that be cooking a healthy meal, doing a midday workout, or taking some sort of brain break, school consumes a lot of our life. That being said, online courses are just as demanding as traditional courses, so each individual must learn how they learn best, what schedule works for them, and how to organize their time for the most success!
Ah, yes. The dreaded group project. Attempting to make these painless in person is one thing, but making it work in an online course? That can be a recipe for disaster. Luckily, there are some simple ways to make the experience a little more bearable and even enjoyable, especially if you're still required to make a group project work in the midst of all the recent changes. Communication and accountability are some of the most important aspects of group project success, with just a few modifications made for those that must be completed throughout an online class. Here are a few tips on how to navigate a group project online.
Get to Know Each Other
First and foremost, you'll want to get to know each other. Even if your group will only ever communicate via email or group message, have everyone share a small introduction about themselves. Explain your strengths and weaknesses so you can divide up group tasks based on what will allow everyone to succeed in their position and lead to ultimate group success.
Plan and Assign
Assign tasks and responsibilities early on so everyone is always on the same page and can be held accountable for their individual and group responsibilities. Setting deadlines is extremely important as well so you never miss a deadline and end up losing points unnecessarily. Consider creating a shared calendar with each assignment, who is completing it and the due date. This way, everyone can see the big picture and what they're all working toward. In addition, there are countless group collaboration apps that can do all of the task assignment and organization digitally!
Communication is Key
Communication is one of the most important aspects to group project success. There are several options of group contact you have, such as an online forum with instructor access, a group message, Facebook group or group emails where each member is copied. It's important to keep in regular contact with one another, ask for updates and follow up with members who may not be working up to speed with the rest of the group. If nobody is in contact with one another, the group will suffer in one or more aspects of the overall project.
Talk with Your Instructor
Your instructor is there to teach the material, give feedback and support you and your classmates. Especially in cases where you feel your group may not be doing the best it can, approach your professor and send an email asking for guidance. If you take their advice and there are still no improvements, update them on how things are going. In the case things are going extremely well for your group, let them know about your successes and update them on your progress!
Prepare for Slackers
One thing to prepare for going into a group project is realizing the possibility (and usual inevitability) of slackers. Whether it's just one person or a few, not everyone is always willing to pull their weight, especially in a group project. There is a decrease in accountability when it comes to group work in online courses since you never really have to interact in-person. Realize this fact of life early on and reach out to encourage these classmates. See if assigning tasks that align with their strengths and interests motivates them to work up to speed with the other members of the group.
Make it Meaningful
Try to establish early what the purpose and meaning of the project is. While every member of the group may not be the most interested or invested in the topic, one thing you all likely have in common is the overarching goal of a good outcome: the grade. This is why it's important to divide up the tasks fairly, taking into account each group member's abilities and strengths so each person will succeed in their list of responsibilities. The more meaningful you can all make the project to yourselves, the more likely you will see an increase in motivation and quality work from everyone in the group.
These are a few goals to strive for and some methods to use for online group project participation and success. Ultimately, communication, organization and accountability are what make the world of group projects go around. Seeing the purpose and end goal early on will lead to higher motivation and more quality work being produced. Don't forget to encourage one another and turn each member's strengths into group success!

While you may know your classmates from having physically been with them at the beginning of the semester, be sure to introduce yourself again in case they have not put a face with a name or vice versa. Respond to their introduction posts to make them feel welcome, as well. This is a great way to calm everyone's nerves to the newly online model and make them feel comfortable. You never know, you may end up connecting with someone who you never thought you would have!
Just as discussions are a vital part of a traditional class, they are equally important in an online course. They are not only essential to connect with other classmates, but can often be a part of your overall grade. Check with your professor to see if your contribution to the discussion board is part of the course now, and be sure you know how to access, comment, and respond to posts.
Having been in a traditional classroom together already, you may be connected to many of your classmates on social media already. However, if not, now is an excellent time to connect on another platform. Of course, make sure you reach out via the online course to let them know you'd like to connect before hitting "send" and adding to their list of random friend requests. Communicating outside of the class discussions will help you form stronger connections and gain new friends!
Once you've introduced yourself and people know how to connect with you, feel free to reach out to your classmates and have virtual study sessions. You can hold study sessions over Facetime, Zoom, Google Hangout or even create a Facebook group where you can do a Facebook live or watch party!
Taking courses online may feel like you're on an island, but remember, you are not alone! If you take advantage of tips 1-4, you are sure to be successful in your online course.
"I love taking courses online and feel the class engagement is just as good as an in-person class. We connect through small groups, online forums, and if we know our classmates, through emails and texts. Additionally, I can do my class comfortably from my bed. I've taken all three of my classes online and the online platforms (Blackboard, Zoom, and Moodle) are fairly intuitive to use and there is great tech support. I recommend online classes very highly." -Samantha Carroll
"The first two weeks I decided that I needed to get organized from the very beginning and not let this coursework get ahead of me since I decided to work full time and go to school. Being organized is the best suggestion that I can give to new students. Once you get the hang of it and get in a rhythm of adapting schoolwork into your daily routine, it seems like you are just rolling along. Also, do not be afraid to use resources. Asking my professor, fellow classmates and Tim questions helped me not to feel overwhelmed during times when it was likely that I would have felt that way." ---- from a Recreation, Sport and Tourism Master's Student
"Generally from my perspective, online courses can be a really great experience. I've loved it. It takes a little getting used to but I do feel like you can get just as much out of an online class as an in-person one. It can be easy to get distracted, so you have to consciously put yourself in the headspace of "this is class, I'm in school, I'm here to learn" because you're not in that physical space. The chat can be overwhelming because it can move really quickly, but you don't need to keep up with every message sent. Having friends in class that you can text with (not during class, of course) to discuss assignments, readings, etc. can really help. And, of course, keeping in mind that even though you're not physically with your classmates, you're all in the same boat. If you suddenly had to jump into online learning and you're disoriented, they probably are too! So cut yourself some slack and do your best, it's okay to not be comfortable right away." -Miranda Axworthy, iSchool student

From Small Town Hershey to Sports Business Stardom
October 31, 2019
All it took was a book from Hershey High School's library to kick off a legendary career.
The Hershey native, Ernie Accorsi, made his claim to fame in the front office with multiple NFL teams, but he is most famous for his success with the New York Football Giants.
Ernie Accorsi was inspired by a book titled "Branch Rickey: American in Action" written by Arthur Mann, and this book inspired him to pursue his dream. Decades later and lots of hard work Accorsi found himself as the General Manager of the New York Football Giants.
Branch Rickey was the General manager who signed Jackie Robinson, and as a result broke the color barrier within the sport of baseball. Rickey's book and personal story fascinated Accorsi as a sophomore who realized he was an average baseball player.
"At that point on I could evaluate myself since I realized I wasn't going to be a center fielder for the New York Yankees," Accorsi said, "and I really kind of geared away to be a general manager."
Accorsi was a Graduate from Hershey High School in the class of 1959. Accorsi was an absolute baseball fanatic. Accorsi played baseball all the way from little league, teener, to American Legion.
After Accorsi graduated from Hershey High, he then attended Wake Forest University. Accorsi knew the only way to get in as a General Manager was to start out as a sports journalist.
While at the University of Wake Forest, Accorsi served as the chief sports columnist for the university newspaper. Accorsi commented, "In those days, the only way to break into consideration for an office job in sports was to be a media member." Therefore, after Accorsi graduated from Wake Forest with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1963, he started applying for newspapers.
Accorsi got his start in the pro sports world as a sports journalist for the Charlotte News, and later wrote for the Baltimore Sun and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Accorsi then changed course and moved to work at the athletic department at San Jose. He later served as Penn State's Assistant Sports Publicity Director in the late 1960s.
In 1970 Accorsi broke into the NFL as the public relations director with the Baltimore Colts. By 1982, Accorsi worked his way through the ranks to become the new general manager of the Colts.
Due to the Colts finishing with an overall record of 0-8-1 in the shortened 1982 season Accorsi made no mistake in drafting the Stanford quarterback standout, John Elway. Elway refused to play for Baltimore which ultimately forced Accorsi to trade Elway to the Broncos. The Colts finished 7-9 in the 1983 season, but that would be their last season in Baltimore, and Accorsi resigned as the General Manager before the team relocated to Indianapolis.
Accorsi found a new General Manager position in Cleveland shortly after his resignation from Baltimore. The first thing Accorsi did when he took over as the Browns General Manager was draft quarterback, Bernie Kosar. Accorsi believed that a shot at achieving an NFL championship was bleak without a standout quarterback.
Kosar took the Browns to five straight playoff appearances and lead them to 3 AFC Championship games while Accorsi was at the helm.
By 1994 Accorsi was in the big apple as an Assistant General Manager for the New York Football Giants, and he was able to work beside the legendary GM, George Young. While Accorsi was under the wing of George Young, he signed former standout Penn State quarterback, Kerry Collins.
In the 2000 season, Collins lead the Giants to a 12-4 season, and the Giants represented the NFC Conference in Super Bowl XXXV. After a disappointing loss in the Super Bowl, Accorsi concluded in 2002 that they had to consider a trade for a better quarterback. Accorsi had already scouted a young Eli Manning, as he believed he may come out early as a junior.
The 2004 NFL Draft had three elite quarterbacks on the board — Ben Roethlisburger, Eli Manning, and Phillip Rivers. Accorsi said, "I went to all their workouts, studied all their games, and concluded we had Eli ranked first and Ben ranked second."
When draft night came, the odds were in Accorsi's favor. San Diego picked Eli; however, Eli's agent made a statement on his behalf that Eli would rather not play in San Diego. San Diego than called Accorsi, and the two sides worked out a deal which ultimately sent Eli to New York.
Eli has won two Super Bowls with the Giants, and both times Eli won Most Valuable Player.
As Eli has continued to age year after year and his overall abilities have diminished, the Giants selected Quarterback Daniel Jones in the 2019 NFL draft.
"The passing of the torch is going to occur," said Accorsi, "The Giants felt like they didn't have a worthy successor of Eli until they drafted Jones this year, and I knew it was only a matter of time."
Eli Manning was the last player Accorsi acquired in the NFL before his retirement in 2007.
Throughout Accorsi's career, his teams won two Super Bowl teams, appeared in six divisional championships. His teams appeared in the playoffs nine times teams and five teams made it to conference championships.
Throughout all of Accorsi's success as a GM, he remains loyal to his humble beginnings here in Hershey. Accorsi reflected, "It's been 60 years since I graduated, but I always went to the football games when I was back in Hershey," said Accorsi, "I always wanted to know what the score was, especially against Milton Hershey. I'm very proud to be a graduate from Hershey High School."
Joshua Gearhart is a reporter for the broadcaster. This is his second year on the staff. He plays ice hockey for the Hershey Jr. Bears, and enjoys playing...

By Sajith Pai in Higher Education No Comments Tags: Engineering, Higher Education
I recently came across a post on the migration patterns of engineering students from India to the U.S. It is authored by Dr Rahul Choudaha & Megha Roy from WES Research, well-regarded for their research around international education. The post said that 5.4m engineers are enrolled in undergraduate education, citing Planning Commission data. This implies that about a fourth of this, barring drop-outs and failures, graduate annually.
Assuming a drop-out …
Why Did Amazon Launch a Physical Bookstore?
By Sajith Pai in Book Discovery No Comments Tags: Amazon, Book Discovery, Onlie Retail
Earlier this month, Amazon's opening of a physical store created a fair bit of buzz online. Most observers found it puzzling. Why, after disrupting and demolishing the physical bookstore – as evidenced by the closing of Borders, and crippling of Barnes & Noble – would Amazon want to launch a physical bookstore themselves?
Now, Amazon is an extraordinary company, and its founder Jeff Bezos, is known for thinking really long-term …

On Thursday, June 11, R & J, Expanded Arts' all-male rendition of Shakespeare's classic tragedy Romeo and Juliet, marked its 162nd performance. That made it the longest running production of the romantic tragedy ever in New York City.
The play, still in an open run, is currently undergoing some cast-changes. Danny Gurwin recently left to replace Keith Byron Kirk in Off-Broadway's A New Brain. Jeremy Peter Johnson has taken his place in R & J. Also, Daniel Shore will leave in two weeks to be replaced by understudy Caesar Samayoa, according to a spokesperson at the Tony Origlio office.
For the record, the previous record holder was a production of Romeo and Juliet which opened at Henry Miller's Theatre on Jan. 24, 1923, and ran for 161 performances. Jane Cowl starred as Juliet; her Romeo was Rollo Peters (who also designed the scenery). The production was, in fact, the second mounting of the classic of the 1922-23 season, following a less successful go around starring Ethel Barrymore, with settings by Robert Edmond Jones.
R & J, adapted and directed by Joe Calarco, tells its familiar story through the musing of four students from a repressive boys school who decide to stage the production for their own enjoyment. The production began life at Expanded Arts' Off-Off-Broadway home earlier this season, before transferring to the John Houseman Studio Theatre on 450 W. 42nd St. The show recently won the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Achievement.

Diff Blue Light Glasses Information!
Since the advent of smart technology, you've likely seen all sorts of comments and articles about how harmful blue light is for one's vision. And while this information is certainly useful to know, quite a few people who are exposed to it more often come away wondering what exactly this "blue light" even is. It's okay if you're in this boat; in fact, this article is here to help you.
A discussion of blue light glasses and their overarching value often surrounds the analysis of blue light and its negative effects. Keep reading to learn more about this unique form of light, how it can harm you, how blue light glasses can potentially negate side effects, and how often you should reallywear blue light glasses in the first place.
Defining Blue Light
When most people think of light, the first images that may come to mind are the white fluorescent lights that fill their homes or the natural, warm sunlight they're exposed to on a regular basis. However, there are all kinds and colors of light out there that actually exist on a wide spectrum, much like the rainbows we can occasionally glimpse after heavy rain.
Blue light is one of the kinds of light available within that spectrum. It most often comes from two sources: LED screens (such as those featured on our tablets, smartphones, and computers), and the Sun itself.
The Side Effects of Blue Light
Blue light can actually be good for us in small doses - think of it as a biological signifier. Since so much blue light already emits naturally from the Sun, we tend to "perk up" when we see it. It's a built-in reminder that it's time for us to go about our day as actively as we can, and it keeps us awake and alert.
The main issue comes when we are exposed to blue light too much and too often. Think about those minutes or even hours you've spent in bed at night, scrolling through the news or your favorite social media site. While you know you need to sleep, you're too entranced by the goings-on within your phone—and it isn't just because of the easy access you have to the latest, most intriguing news. It's the blue light pouring directly into your eyes from your phone screen. This same type of light streams effortlessly from our smart devices—our tablets, our phones, even our televisions—and is more than capable of keeping us just as awake as the Sun does, even late into the night. This can lead to the development of eye strain and even insomnia, as blue light exposure reduces our natural production of melatonin and makes it harder for us to feel sleepy when nighttime falls. In some cases, blue light has even contributed to the development of blindness.
Do You Need Blue Light Glasses?
While you won't necessarily go blind from browsing your Twitter feed at night every so often, there are a few cases where blue light glasses can be an invaluable investment:
- You tend to work late at night, especially in front of a screen.
- You already struggle with insomnia or other sleep difficulties.
- You have been diagnosed with or are beginning to show symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome, a unique type of eye strain caused by long-term, excessive exposure to digital screens.
- Most of your time is spent looking at a screen.
Choosing the Best Pair of Blue Light Glasses
There are two main types of blue light glasses: those that block out 99 percent of blue light, and those that block out 50 percent of it. "99" blue light glasses are aimed at those with special sensitivity toward blue light or those who are prone to working or otherwise being active late at night; the lenses are designed to boost visual contrast and come in a striking yellow tint. "50" blue light glasses, on the other hand, are meant to be used during the middle of the day or for daytime work in front of screens. Their tinting is more subtle, and they also are available via prescription. We recommend purchasing "50" blue light glasses if you really want to wear them on a regular basis.
We hope this article has made it easier for you to not only understand blue light and how it can harm your vision, but also the importance of investing in blue light glasses to keep your vision protected and healthy. At DIFF, we make it a priority to keep a selection of carefully vetted, high-quality blue light glasses in stock for interested customers.

Problem Solution: Lawrence Sports Inc.
Working capital management is defined as short-term and current assets and liabilities that a company uses in its daily operations. Being able to master the working capital of the company will enable them to meet and exceed targeted goals for the success of the company. It is also important to manage the daily, weekly, monthly and annual cash flows in order to meet sales goals, pay vendors, and collect receivables. By developing practices to monitor their working capital, companies have the opportunity to increase their revenues and optimize their resources.
Situation Analysis
Issue and Opportunity Identification
Lawrence Sports manufactures and sells equipment and protective gear for football, baseball, basketball and volleyball. They have annual revenues of $20 million each year. One of the problems facing Lawrence is that they rely on the sales to only one major customer who comprises 95% of their annual revenue. This customer, Mayo Store, is the world's leading retailer in recreation equipment. Lawrence's two main suppliers are Gartner products and Murray Leather Works. Relying on a limited customer base has put Lawrence in an unfavorable position when it comes to managing its cash flows on a monthly basis. Because of the shortcomings of their accounts receivable, they have to rely on a continuous line of credit from their bank to pay monthly operating expenses. This line of credit issued to Lawrence to cover monthly expenses is payable at the end of the next month creating a never ending cycle of short-term loans and increased interest payments (UOP, 2008)
The terms that Lawrence has set up with Mayo are 20% due at the time of sale and the remaining 80% due the following week. Mayo has notified them that they will be unable to pay their balance on their account for an entire month. When Mayo defaults on this credit terms it causes the cash flows of Lawrence to get greatly affected. They are unable to...

Commodore's Tramiel Dies at 83
Commodore founder Jack Tramiel, a pioneer of personal computing in the U.S., passed away this week at the age of 83.
A Holocaust survivor, Tramiel opened a typewriter shop in New York in 1953. His company, then called Commodore Business Machines, introduced the first Commodore computer in 1977 and the Commodore 64 in 1982. He owned Atari for several years in the 1980s, before going on to cofound the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.
Tramiel is survived by his wife and three sons.

What if we told you we could offer a robot that not only saves you time normally spent on routine tasks, but also increases the production of your herd? If it sounds too good to be true, let us tell you how to get better feeding with automation!
Smart feeding is a concept that we have embraced at Lely and, with the knowledge that more frequent feeding and feed pushing really does pay off, we implemented our Lely Vector automatic feeding system. Stimulating frequent consumption of feed throughout the day and night, the Vector increases feed intake for the herd. This has a positive effect on animal health, fertility and production.
More frequent feeding is about providing the right feed at the right time. The Lely Vector keeps fresh feed available to cows. The mixing and feeding robot measures the feed height to determine when the ration needs to be supplemented, so there is never too much or too little feed at the feed fence.
"Frequent feeding mimics the natural preference of the cow to graze all day," said Joel Eberhart, Feed & Barn Specialist for Lely North America. "It stabilizes their gut and makes the animal healthier and happier."
More frequent feeding will also stimulate the activity of the cows and in cases where a milking robot is used, it will mean more visits to the robot. The result is more milk with better components for increased premiums.
Automatic feeding with the Lely Vector feeding system now goes one step further and offers a number of additional benefits such as:
- Low operating costs - Compared to conventional feeding systems, the Lely Vector is very efficient when it comes to energy costs. You save on fuel costs, because you will no longer need the tractor used to control the feed wagon. Customers save up to 1,452 gallons of diesel per year.
- Flexible to use - The Lely Vector is developed for all kinds of feed and barn designs, and if you have cattle in various barns on your yard, the automatic feeding system can drive between them independently. The Lely T4C software of the Vector allows you to easily adapt rations and groups.
- Saving time - Every day you save valuable time because you no longer have to do the feeding yourself. From the moment when the Lely Vector takes over, your daily schedule becomes more flexible. On average, our dairy customers save about eight hours per week. Beef farmers save even more time. You will have more time for other important tasks around the farm or your personal life.
Frequent feeding and feed pushing throughout the day and night stimulates the dry matter intake of the herd. This optimizes rumen health, feed efficiency and productivity. By automating this recurring work, you make your life easier, your production more efficient and your business more successful.

Last year, we moved our family of 5 and our rottweiler 3 times in less than 6 months. Why would any rational person do such a thing, you can check out last week's post to get the back story.
Anyhow, somewhere in the 3 moves, my Fiskars 24″ x 36″ cutting mat got lost. I used my little portable Omnigrid cutting mat/pressing surface, but it was ridiculous. The main thing I've been sewing lately are curtains. Vicky has 11 windows just on the ground floor. My previous house had 5 in total. I had to replace my big mat.
Chance to try something else
I figured it was a great excuse to try something new. I already have some Omnigrid rulers I love because of their dotted 1/4″ lines.
I got the Omnigrid mat home and realized that there were no 1/4″ dotted lines on the mat. Yeah, totally my bad. I was so busy trying to figure out the pricing I missed that obvious detail. I hunted through their website and none of their mats have 1/4 dotted lines. I figured it wasn't a deal breaker because I do have the dotted lines on the rulers.
Then I took the plastic off and was hit by a strong chemical smell. Their website says you can reduce the smell by soaking it in your bathtub with a water vinegar mixture. Maybe if it were summer and I had access to my kid's wading pool (my favorite way to soak my mats to extend their life), but this mat was a bit bulky for my tub.
Okay, what about the warranty? There is no mention of a warranty on their sticker. (Fiskars has theirs right one the label.) I went to the Omnigrid website and I couldn't find their warranty information there either. I've sent them an email asking for clarification but haven't received a reply yet. I know I've read about quilters contacting Omnigrid directly and getting replacements for products. So I'm curious to what their official policy is. I'll update this when I find out.
No obvious warranty. Strike Three, the mat went back.
Back to Fiskars
I tried to branch out, but looks like it was back to Fiskars for me. I really like their Lifetime Warranty. I had a 10 year old rotary cutter stop locking and Fiskars replaced it. I just filled out an online form and sent a picture. It was processed quickly and they shipped my new rotary cutter to me free of charge. (If you have a Fiskars product that you need to make a claim for, here's the direct US link.)
Trying to Save Space
My sewing studio is more a sewing hall. I'm used to having more room but I'm set up on a folding table for now. So I started eyeballing Fiskars folding mats. They are more expensive then their flat counterparts, but I really liked the idea of being able to store it in a smaller space.
So this time, I grabbed a large Fiskars Self Healing Folding mat. It certainly was less bulky carrying it out of the store and getting it home. But when I opened it, I was dismayed to find a huge crack running up the plastic that folds on the back.
Back to the store I went for an exchange. This time I checked the mat for cracks before I bought it. There were 3 mats in stock and all of them had small, but definite cracks starting. I decided I didn't want to mess with it and returned my cracked mat. If you want a folding mat, be sure to look at the material along the folding lines for cracks before putting it in your cart. Hopefully it was just a freak occurrence at my local store.
Back to start
I was done, I just needed a big mat so I could get back to work. At this point, I was feeling a little awkward with all the returns I was making. My old Fiskars had served me well. I decided to just go back to it.
I was pretty sure I'd eventually track down my naughty lost mat, so it hurt my frugal little heart to buy a duplicate. But I reasoned I could use both on the cutting table I will build once I can work on my attic studio.
I headed off to JoAnn and the $65.99 mat was only $31.67 with the coupon. A couple of days later I was at my local Wal-Mart and meandered over to check out their mats. (I have such a hard time leaving things alone.) Same size mat, only $29.97 and no coupons needed. So I bought it so I could compare. (Just an FYI, the mat's retail price is listed as $57.99 on Fiskars website on the date of this posting.)
What's the Deal?
So with my coupon, I only paid a few extra bucks for my mat from Joann. But I got to thinking, were the mats actually the same? Maybe Wal-Mart had a lower quality mat to be able to offer such a cheaper price. As you might have guess from the receipt above, I went ahead and bought Wal-Mart's Fiskars mat so I could compare. (LOL, yet another return in my future, the things I do for curiosity's sake)
Wal-Mart Fiskars vs. Joann Fiskars
I labeled the two mats so I wouldn't get them mixed up while I was comparing. Their stickers are identical. You can see a close up of one in the picture. I went number by number and everything matched.
I wrote an email to Fiskars to ask about the mats. The representative who replied assured me that Wal-Mart and Joann mats were the same.
And to cover my bases, I also called Fiskars to verify that the 24 x 36″ mat on their website is the same mat you get at Joann or Wal-Mart. I did the second check because the only identifying number I could find on Fiskars websites was their own special item number (183720-1001) and there was no sticker in their product picture. That Fiskars representative said the same thing. Fiskars doesn't make different models for different stores.
Physical Inspection
What I Learned
Tip #1: If you're in the market for a Fiskars cutting mat, go for the best price because they are the same mat, regardless of the store you buy them from. So, if you have some time, you can wait for a great coupon and use your big box craft store, but if you're in a rush, you might just want to hit Wal-Mart.
Tip #2: If you're an online shopper, don't forget to check the Amazon price on Fiskars 24×36 Cutting Mat because depending on its mood, it might beat everyone else, even with great coupons. (If you click the affiliate link, you'll go right to the mat and if you happen to buy it, I will get a small commission at no additional cost to you.)
Seriously, when I wrote this post, Amazon's price was the same as Wal-Mart. Not even a week later it is showing up $5 cheaper. Prices can fluctuate on Amazon.
Tip #3: If you're buying from a physical store, check the store's online price before you go. While I was researching, I thought I'd made a mistake when I was figuring out prices. It turned out that my local Joann was $8 more expensive then their online price. Thankfully, Joann has a price-match pledge and will honor the cheaper price if you show it to them.
While I wouldn't consider this post a product review, I hope some of the things I discovered on my little hunt for a new mat will be helpful for others about to buy one. (Oh, and my old mat did turn up)
I learned some interesting things about different prices for the same product. And I learned that I'm not a good impulse buyer and will likely wind up making numerous trips back to the store when I try.

I recently attended a Sattva Retreat by Elena and was thrilled. As a Yoga & Meditation newcomer I was very excited and also a little bit nervous what the following 3 days would look like. But from the very first moment I was in the best of hands and cared for. Elena and her team have created a wonderful setting to take a break from everyday life, relax and devote time and attention to your thoughts and feelings. Elena's work convinces all along the line. Professionally, but more importantly on a personal level. You can feel with how much love and enthusiasm Elena pursues her passion and strives to create an unforgettable personal experience for each participant. I'm sure I'll go back to retreating.
- Alexander Seethaler
There are no words... An Ayurvedic Massage by Elena is a true gift. I felt very comfortable from the beginning. Full of trust I could drop deeply into myself, open up and lost all sense of time. The gentle, tender touches have touched the innermost depth. There was a deep connection noticeable, a fusion of Elena's present touches and me - I could and was simply allowed to be in love.
- Antonia Limbrunner
After the Sattva Retreat... It feels free, to be warm and strong, to come fresh from the source of "one's own". The next moment - collapse but then I fall back into this new world of serenity. Everything swirls back and forth, but the enchanting Elena provides security on this path. Basti cooks happy, cheerful, colourful food for us. Everyone is silent and this silence moves so much in me... there are no words. A deep love... I didn't realize how much I can hear food. Maybe a new way back to cooking? Even stronger is nature with its power...the forest, the meadows, the sounds of the animals, the tree, every little leaf, every walnut simply in silence and yet as if in a storm. It was clearly too short. Back home I was standing in the children's room... it has also something of a natural force when you are away as a mother of three children for three days - but then there is this work of art of my daughter laying in the middle of chaos... no child can think of cleaning when it is about to create something so beautiful... I just start cleaning silently... to create more space for her and my space has become infinite. Thank you, Elena.
- Antje Zauner
I recently experienced the pleasure of Elena's massage and it was quite simply an exquisite experience! She holds such a caring and gentle space, yet the massage for me was deeply powerful. A safe and nurturing experience for gentle healing as well as relaxation and rejuvenation. And what touched me the most was the level of presence I felt with every stroke of her hand, like our bodies were speaking through breath and every word was deeply heard and felt. Thank you for sharing your gifts Elena.
- Naseem Khakoo
You have created something very special by sharing your love so openly. This could be felt in every detail during the Sattva Retreat. It created a deep connection in the group, which deeply touched me. Elena, you managed to guide us with empathy and compassion. Basti, your love flows through song and food and has made us all happy. Thank you for this experience. I can only recommend everyone to go on this journey to meet themselves, for which you have created a beautiful space.

Inflammation Tied to Anhedonia in Women but Not Men
Inflammation appears to increase anhedonia — a loss of enjoyment in things or activities — in women, but not in men, according to a new study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging.
Reduced activity in the brain's reward center is the signature of anhedonia, a core feature of depression. Women are two-to-three times more likely to be diagnosed with depression, and the new findings highlight a key difference in men and women that could contribute to the uneven rates of the disorder.
"Our study is the first to show that there are sex differences in neural sensitivity to reward in response to inflammation, which has important implications," said senior author Naomi Eisenberger, Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles.
"This may suggest one reason women experience depression at a far greater rate than men, particularly for the kinds of depression that may be inflammatory in nature."
In the study, healthy men and women received a substance to increase inflammation. The research team measured activity in the reward region of the brain, the ventral striatum, as the participants played a game where they could win a monetary reward.
The findings show that women with greater inflammatory responses exhibited less brain response in anticipation of potential rewards, but the association was not present in men.
"This suggests that women with chronic inflammatory disorders may be particularly vulnerable to developing depression through decreases in sensitivity to reward," said first author Mona Moieni, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Eisenberger.
"Clinicians who treat female patients with inflammatory disorders may want to pay close attention to these patients for possible onset of depressive symptoms."
Cameron Carter, M.D., editor of Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging said "This study highlights the important gender differences that exist in the human brain and suggests a mechanism that might help explain the greater prevalence of depression in women compared to men."
Researchers suggest since the increased inflammation had no effect on how men's brains responded to reward, inflammation-induced anhedonia may be an important contributor to the higher rates of depression in women.

Rescue posts consisting of medical staff, rescue experts, police and wireless operators will monitor the movement of pedestrians across Rohtang pass from today.
As the risk of very heavy snowfall has increased with a regular dip in temperature and traffic on Manali-Rohtang-Keylong road may come to a halt anytime, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering and Allied Sports (ABVIMAS), Manali, has set up its two rescue posts in either side of Rohtang on Friday which are functional from Saturday.
Saying that it is advised to everybody not to cross Rohtang without getting registered in both the posts at Marhi (Kullu) and Koksar (Lahaul) before and after crossing the pass, ABVIMAS director Randhir Singh Salhuria said that purpose of setting up the posts is to monitor movement of pedestrians who cross Rohtang pass to go to Kullu or Lahaul valley. "Each post will consist of 10 members," he said.
Earlier, Rohtang used to declare officially closed for vehicular traffic on November 15, but the pass was not declared closed officially so far. Lahaul-Spiti deputy commissioner Beer Singh Thakur said administration will not declare the pass officially closed until Border Road Organization does so.
"If weather turns hostile and passing through the pass will be unsafe, we will issue a public advisory not to go towards Rohtang pass. However, crossing pass is necessity of local people and we shall keep a watch over the weather conditions," he said.
Gopal Sharma, regional manager of Himachal Road Transport Corporation, said one bus will be plying the Kullu-Keylong road until heavy snowfall blocks the highway.
"We have planned to run two buses – one from Kullu and one from Keylong – every morning which will transfer their passengers at Rohtang pass. This is to ensure the safety of passengers even if sudden snowfall occurs."

Immunotherapy: Open Access has released a research on Enhancement of Oncolytic Activity
Immunotherpay: Open access has released an article recently on Enhancement of Oncolytic Activity of oHSV Expressing IL-12 and Anti PD-1 Antibody by Concurrent Administration of Exosomes Carrying CTLA-4 miRNA by Runbin Yan, Xusha Zhou, Xiaoqing Chen, Xianjie Liu, Yuxin Tang, Jie Ma, Lei Wang, Ziwen Liu, Borui Zhan, Hong Chen, Jiamei Wang, Weixuan Zou, Huinan Xu, Ruitao Lu, Dongyao Ni, Bernard Roizman and Grace G Zhou from China. The article was in press of the Journal. The abstract of the above article was given below:
Systemic administration of checkpoint inhibitors alone and especially concurrent with intratumoral administration of oncolytic herpesviruses (oHSV) has a major impact on cancer therapy marred by rare failures of healthy organs. Furthermore, tumors vary with respect to susceptibility to oncolytic effects of oHSV. Here we report the construction and properties of 3 families of oncolytic herpes simplex viruses expressing no immunomodulatory genes (T1 series), murine IL-12 (T2 series) or murine or human IL-12 and anti PD-1 antibody (T3 series). We report that insertion of the gene encoding PD-1 Ab significantly augmented the oncolytic activity of oHSV bereft of immunostimulatory genes (T1 series) or expressing IL-12 alone (T2 series). The T3 oHSV expressed IL-12, PD-1 Ab were restricted to the tumor bed whereas the induced IFN-γ accumulated to high levels both in tumor bed and in blood. Furthermore, the T3 oHSV was superior to systemic administration of IL-12 and antibody to PD-1. This report also shows that the oncolytic activity of T3 oHSV in a relatively resistant tumor was enhanced by concurrent intratumoral administrationof genetically engineered exosomes carrying miRNA targeting CTLA-4 checkpoint.
In this article the author reports on the properties of a family of novel oncolytic HSV (oHSV). The family consists of mutants without inserts, mutants incorporating mouse or human IL-12 alone or in addition murine or human genes encoding single chain antibody against PD-1 (PD-1 Ab). We also report on an adjunct therapy effective in tumors resistant to the oHSV. Recent advances in the studies led to the identification of nucleotide sequences of RNAs preferentially packaged into exosomes. We have used this information to construct miRNAs and package into exosomes that specifically target mRNAs encoding specific proteins [28-31]. In the studies reported here we targeted mRNA encoding the CTLA-4 checkpoint. The results suggest that the immunotherapy of MFC tumors was significantly enhanced by the concurrent inhibition of both PD-1 and CTLA-4 checkpoints.

text: I don't know how closely my TKD friends follow Kickboxing and MMA, but there has been a resurgence of Kempo Karate with the successes of Stephen "wonderboy" Thompson and Raymond Daniels. Granted, Daniels holds 5th degree black belt in ITF TaeKwonDo (not too shabby!) so that would explain his sidekick propensity in fights. Stephen Thompson however is not a TKD stylist, and from what I read online, American Kempo Karate emphasizes mostly low kicks.. Yet Thompson fights exactly like a TKD guy with lots of sidekick and side-on stances. So what's the deal here? Have Kempo guys like Thompson branched out, or why does he look like a TaeKwonDo fighter, in a style that is not known for flashy kicking at all. It's a self-defence, street oriented system. Anybody trained American Kempo and can set the record straight?

Angelesey is said to be 'blown away' by plans for a nuclear power station on it's coast, despite being described as the 'windiest thing since Boris Johnson'.
Planned to provide base load for the rare occasions when Angelsey's many wind turbines have no wind, the project should be ready in 10 to 20 years. Then it will make a significant contribution to reducing carbon emissions in a world where the climate will already have been warmed, the weather windier and the sea levels will be higher. 'Good timing. It'll probably be 20 years before this bloody wind drops,' said one local.
Critics who said that Angelesey was also ideal for tidal power schemes, which are quicker to build, were dismissed as 'dreamers' by planners; who pointed out that it would interfere with the yachting economy of the island, an industry worth many hundreds of UK pounds per year: 'And what when sea level rises, eh? Bet they didn't think of that!'

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), under the new leadership of former Congressman Tom Price, has delayed rolling out new payment models affecting cardiac care and broken hips, including for a program known as Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR). Senior Public Affairs Advisor Miranda Franco weighs in on the matter.
"There's so much uncertainty right now in the health care space – especially for hospitals as we look at ACA repeal and replace – that having some certainty, even if it is a mandated program, is something I think folks would welcome," Ms. Franco said.

Exmouth RFC head coach speaks about the Camborne win and Tuesday nights Devon Cup final
PUBLISHED: 07:04 30 April 2018 | UPDATED: 07:04 30 April 2018
After a superb 59-19 victory over Camborne in a rearranged game that saw the Cockles complete their South West Premier campaign – and guarantee they begin next season at the same level, head coach Jon Hill spoke of his delight.
He said: "It was a superb 80 minute performance from a ruthless and workmanlike Cockles outfit demonstrated what can happen when a full strength side is in the right frame of mind.
"In a ridiculously close league this campaign, only five points was going to be enough to ensure we played in SW Premier for another season.
"Recent weeks has certainly taught us that nothing will ever go in our favour elsewhere and we should never be seeking results to go our way in things that we have no control over.
"The guys absolutely took hold of the game from start to finish with key players really stepping up in the battle to ensure survival.
"Centre, and Man of the Match, Mark Wathes, cut Camborne's defence open time and time again and scored three tries on the bounce to ease any fears of a Camborne comeback.
"A bonus point was in the bag by the end of the first half, and it was then important to ensure that we stayed focused, but also continued to play with intent and passion throughout."
Hill continued: "Dave Bargent ran over and around many a Camborne defender in a sublime performance, and with the returning Sam Richardson and Richard Bright showing their class, this was a classy Cockles outfit on show.
"Mike Richards, captain Jack Fahy and experienced back rower James Harris showed their strength with big ball carries and some huge defensive hits that could be heard at the back of the stand. It is safe to say that everyone stepped up, fronted up and were focused throughout."
With regard to the overall season, Hill added: "Our home form this season, as always has been extremely impressive.
"Our form on the road must improve next season, and we must also make some cultural changes to ensure that we are a more consistent side.
"We have demonstrated glimpses of our potential , but the mere fact that we have used 40 players in the league this season goes some way towards showing why inconsistency has been at the heart of our issues, in particularly on the road."
Hill then turned his attention to the soon to be departing director of rugby at the club, Chris Wright, when he said: "We now have an opportunity to send departing director of rugby Chris Wright on his way with some silverware as we seek to regain the Devon Senior Cup.
"What a man Wrighty has been, and perhaps the most instrumental man at the club for the past two decades.
"Of course there are many men, and women, who have played a huge part in the clubs successes in recent times, however the guy often at the coal face, and working tirelessly behind the scenes has been Chris."
He continued: "He really is a true rugby gent, and is someone, who wears his heart on his sleeve and has gone way over and above the call of duty to ensure that Exmouth has become a regional force in rugby circles.
"Whilst the players are very capable of achieving great things all by themselves, the added motivation of giving the man a send off that he richly deserves is sure to keep everyone in check and ready for the battle against Cup holders Brixham when we entertain them this coming Tuesday."
That game at the Imperial Ground kicks-off at 7.15pm.

Dr. Kiran C. Patel and Dr. Pallavi Patel to be Honored
FORT LAUDERDALE/DAVIE, Fla. – This year, Nova Southeastern University (NSU) will honor Tampa Bay cardiologist, entrepreneur, community leader and philanthropist Dr. Kiran C. Patel and his wife, pediatrician and philanthropist Dr. Pallavi Patel with the President's Award for Excellence in Community Service during the university's Celebration of Excellence event. The Patels join an impressive list of honorees that includes Jim and Jan Moran, Claire and Dan Marino, Wayne and Marti Huizenga and Guy Harvey, just to name a few.
Each year at Celebration of Excellence, NSU President Dr. George Hanbury commends an individual, group or family whose good works are making the world a better place to live. The award supports NSU's "community" core value and encourages the ongoing pursuit of community service.
"If you're looking for a great example of what it means to give back to the community, look no further than Drs. Kiran C. and Pallavi Patel," said Dr. Hanbury. "Their impact goes well beyond NSU – they are making a difference in the lives of people across the globe. No one is more deserving of this award than the Patels."
The 2018 Celebration of Excellence, which is an invitation-only event, will be held Saturday, January 27 on NSU's Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus, 3301 College Ave. The reception will begin at 6 p.m.,with the dinner program immediately following. Sponsors of the gala are: Great HealthWorks, Inc., PRH Fairwinds, I. Lorraine Thomas, ACAI Associates, GRYCON LLC, Jim and Summer Robertson, JM Family Enterprises, Moss and Associates, ANF, Barnes & Noble, Hill York, JD Backhoe and NSU Health Professions Division Foundation.
The Patels hope to help advance human health care in medically underserved communities in Florida, across the country and abroad. Their priority, which aligns with that of NSU's Health Professions Division, puts the patient first and integrates medical and health care expertise.
Their involvement with NSU is recent, but their impact has been immediate and transformational. In September, the Drs. Kiran C. and Pallavi Patel Family Foundation, Inc. provided the largest philanthropic gift in the history of the university. The commitment included a $50 million gift and an additional $150 million real estate and facility investment in a future 325,000 square-foot medical education complex, which will serve as the new site for NSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine, as well as house the existing programs offered in the Tampa area.
In recognition of their gift to NSU, the university named two colleges in their honor: the Dr.Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences.
"This gift and real estate commitment will enrich NSU's ability to educate highly-qualified physicians and health care professionals who understand how the medical disciplines can and must work together," Dr. Hanbury said. "These future leaders will further represent the cultural diversity of our region, our nation and our world so that they can better serve their patients and communities."
The Patel's commitment to the community and their willingness to help those in need was never more evident than when Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. NSU has a regional campus on the island, and our students, faculty and staff were hit hard, like everyone else who calls Puerto Rico home. Knowing NSU had a regional campus on the island, Dr. Kiran C. Patel he contacted Dr. Hanbury to see how he could help.
"Seeing what was happening in Puerto Rico, I knew I had to do something to help," he said. "I'm part of the NSU family and they were hurting; as a physician, a husband, a father – as a person – how could I not help?"
As Drs. Hanbury and Patel talked they came up with the idea of flying much-needed supplies to the island to be distributed to NSU's students, faculty and staff who were in desperate need. In roughly 36 hours, NSU officials worked to determine what essentials were needed, and then made arrangements for Dr. Patel to have his private jet fly to Fort Lauderdale so it could be loaded with those items and taken to the island.
"Without question the impact of Dr. Patel's kindness was felt by hundreds on the island in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria," Dr. Hanbury said. "Giving back to the community is at the core of everything Drs. Kiran and Pallavi Patel do, and it coincides with NSU's Core Value of Community. We're so thankful for the Patels for not only coming onboard as a member of the SharkNation, but to set an example of what it means to help those in need."
NSU's Celebration of Excellence also recognizes donors whose cumulative giving to NSU reaches $1 million or more. Each of these benefactors is welcomed into the NSU Fellows Society "Shark Circle" and receives a limited edition maquette replica of the mako shark statue located in front of the Don Taft University Center. This year, the donors NSU welcomes into the Shark Circle are: Dr. Kiran C. Patel and Dr. Pallavi Patel; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Banks, Sr.; Mr. Martin R. and Mrs. Gail S. Press; Mr. Frank Buscaglia and the Sansom Foundation; and Mr. Michael Dezer.
BACKGROUND on The Patels
Dr. Kiran C. Patel and Dr. Pallavi Patel met while studying medicine in Ahmedabad, India. After marrying and practicing medicine in Zambia, the Patels moved to New York to earn advanced specializations from Columbia University – he in cardiology and she in pediatrics. In 1982, the couple relocated to Tampa with their three young children.
Illustrious careers in medicine, business and real estate today allow the Patels to focus on bettering the world through health, education, and culture. The impact of the couple's philanthropic commitments are evident across the globe, and particularly in Florida, India, and Africa.

so very true
I really think I'm going to print this and put it in the mailbox of our principal. Of course, in order to keep my job (because I'm white) I'm going to have to do it sans credit. Thanks!
Boy, does that ring true.
Can Daffy hide a mini camera so we can see the reaction from the principal?
That is the truest thing ever said about rank and management!
I may steal this from you leaving credit where due.
Y'all have at it. I stole it, too.
I'm so incredibly borrowing this!

I love birthdays! Having people sending you good wishes for 24 hours at the least is a lot of fun. With social media, you hear from people who are silent the other 364 days of the year.
This year I started getting birthday emails from the first of the month through to the last day. Most of these emails were from big companies that had encouraged me to sign up for their email list. I got coupons for discounts, free items, and some free items with purchase. One of my favorites was from a bakery using Constant Contact; they sent me a coupon for a FREE cupcake.
Are you sending out date based emails? Even if I didn't use the coupon, I still have a favorable impression of that company. As a small business owner, we all should be mimicking the big guys. We have the ability to request the birthdays and anniversaries when we request emails. We can set up an autoresponder that sends out an email so we don't have to have employees spend time researching the database. When I set these up for my own database, I got favorable responses.
Here are my thoughts on three things you might consider for birthday emails in your business:
I am going to update the images in my birthday autoresponder each year so it won't be a total repeat each time. Work once a year to spread cheer and deepen my relationship with my contacts seems like a pretty good return to me. I have received thank you emails for the acknowledgement and a few turned into a project.
If you need your birthday emails set up, go do that right now. Or hire a solution provider (like me) to help you get it set.
Till next month! Ellen
Nice work - I agree wholeheartedly! I created a short video tutorial that shows the steps to take to make this happen.

DLR didn't print on original SBP as they were waiting for a (different) paper manufacturer to produce the paper they neded. I don't know about direction of print: it's something I can't strain my eyes to bother with!

But I've also been told that some booklets and one counter sheet exist both ways. I've not seen the evidence yet.Ian - Norvichttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-57624821850956196292017-05-10T16:58:24.950+01:002017-05-10T16:58:24.950+01:00Interesting. From what you say, it would seem tha...Interesting. From what you say, it would seem that(so far):-
 - all stamps printed by DLR (counter sheets of 25 or 50) are SI - LU - SU - LI
 - all stamps printed by Walsall (except 1st large business sheet M17L) are SU - LU - SI - LI

The first question is -- why is the 1st large business sheet M17L different to other Walsall printings. If You take a reel SU - LU - SI - LI paper and re-reel it so that it goes through the printer "in the other direction", you will get stamps that are printed on SI - LU - SU - LI backing papeer. (Thanks to the "Bookmark" for pointng this out.) I suspect that something like this has happened to that business sheet.

That still leaves the question of why DLR stamps are different to Walsall stamps. Do DLR use a different paper manufacturer? I think that they do, but can any expert out there confirm (or deny) this?

A side question, for someone more expert than me, would be whether the direction of the backing paper is going to interact with the direction of printing. "Bookmark" informs us that Walsall printings are usually inverted direction of printing. I haven't seen the 1st large M17L business sheet yet, but is that printed inverted as usual? Or is it going to prove to be an exception?

Curiously, "Bookmark" also tells us that DLR printings are upright direction of printing. Is it just coincidence that they have the opposite direction of printing AND the opposite direction of backing paper to Walsall? Or is this telling us something deeper about how the two printers produce stamps? (Whilst I can clearly see that Walsall printings are inverted, I have a lot more trouble convincing myself that DLR printings are upright -- but I have no doubt that says much more about my failing eyesight!!)

More questions than answers ...
