Why Green Cleaning Makes 'Cents'
December 10, 2010 6:27 am | by Jill Kohls, Marketing Programs Manager, Nilfisk Advance, Inc. | Articles | CommentsWhy clean green?

There are many reasons why distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and processing facilities can benefit from a green floor-cleaning program.

Fact of the day
Information is the most powerful weapon.
Fact N°
Some of the days in 2009 were shorter than usual.
According to a researcher at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Earth spun slightly faster than its usual during a two-week period in 2009. Days are not perfectly uniform, and are affected by things like ocean currents. This natural influence was particularly pronounced in November 2009, when a slowdown in an Antarctic Ocean current markedly changed Earth's spin. This was one of several quirks in the ocean's behavior that year. 2009 also saw record-high pressures at the bottom of the ocean, as well as record-high surface temperatures for that region.
Fact N°
Handedness influences your perceptions of good and bad.
Cognitive scientist Daniel Casasanto has demonstrated what he dubs the "body-specificity hypothesis" -- in short, that our bodily quirks influence how we perceive, and judge, the rest of the world. Casasanto found through a series of experiments that, all other things being equal, people prefer things they encounter on the same side as their dominant hand. When asked to pick between two products, or to judge which of two alien figures seemed more trustworthy, people tended to choose the one that fell on their dominant side. The effect isn't permanent, though. Right-handers who had become handicapped and had to rely on their left hands switched preferences, as did right-handers who were (temporarily and artificially) handicapped in a lab setting.
Fact N°
Sugar helps with willpower.
Previous research has implied that sugar fuels your ability to exercise self-control and that exercising self-control depletes your blood glucose levels. However, a new study in Psychological Science paints a more complicated picture. In an experiment participants were asked to complete a self-control task, then to use (and not drink) a solution as though it were mouthwash. Half of the participants' solution was sweetened with sugar while the other half received solution that used an artificial sweetener. The participants who had rinsed with the sugar water performed better on a second self-control task than the other group, even though they ingested no sugar, and would have had no time to metabolize it even if they had. The restoration of their willpower, say researchers, was in the sensation of possible reward -- they hadn't actually restored any energy, but their brains anticipated that possibility enough to make them outperform their counterparts.
Fact N°
Professional attire really does make you perform better.
Wearing a suit and tie probably makes you feel more professional and, as researchers have just discovered, it may actually make you more professional (at least if you associate suits with professionalism). A Kellogg School of Management study split subjects into two groups, with half wearing lab coats and half without them. The subjects then performed a Stroop test, which measures reaction time and accuracy (the test involves rapidly naming the color in which a word is printed, when that word actually spells out the name of a different color). The participants wearing lab coats made half as many errors as the other group. In further tests, subjects wearing an item merely defined as a lab coat or doctor's coat performed better than participants wearing a similar piece of clothing defined as a painter's coat.
Fact N°
Caffeine has no adverse effect on sleep if you're a night owl.
A study published in the journal Sleep Medicine investigated the ability of caffeine to disturb sleep and found that the effect was prevalent in early risers but not apparent in night owls. The study followed participants who recorded their normal sleeping and waking times and their caffeine consumption, and discovered that only the early risers spent more time waking up again at night if they had higher caffeine intake. The participants were all college students, which means the effects of caffeine might be even more prevalent in a non-college setting (the subjects were so sleep-deprived that sleep came more easily to them than it otherwise might have).
Fact N°
The most popular password is some version of the word "password."
This practice persists despite constant warnings against it. In cases where a mix of alpha-numeric characters are required, the most popular password is "Password1." This information comes from data security company Trustwave, whose study of passwords habits determined that 5% of all passwords contain "password" in some form, and that due to policies requiring increasingly-complex and frequently-rotated passwords, people are finding it more and more difficult to remember them. As an alarming follow-up, the company also concluded that antivirus programs found less than 12% of present malware on infected systems.
Fact N°
Toddlers who snore are more prone to behavioral problems.
An ongoing English study has followed more than 11,000 children since 1991, asking parents to record their children's tendency toward snoring, mouth-breathing while asleep and sleep apnea. Parents reported on sleep patterns six times as their children grew from six months to six years old. Parents also reported on their kids' behavior at four and seven years. About 55% of children had some form of sleep disturbance, and even when accounting for all other factors, toddlers with breathing-related sleep disturbances were between 40% and 100% more likely to experience behavioral problems. Seven-year-olds were 85% more likely to be hyperactive and 37% more likely to have problems with other children than sound sleepers.

This stuff is really good, but difficult to get hold of. Price is most competative too.
I suffer from atopic excema and its great at keeping the hands moisturised but still able to handle tasks as it dries to a waxy protective finish..
Doesn't irritate me, the shea butter seems to be the secret.
Another amazing product from Palmers
Have used Palmers products for years and love ithem. The Shea Butter Formula is great, soaks into the skin and leaves it enriched and feeling very smooth.
Not as thick as the original so easier for skin to absorb
I first bought this in America about 10 years ago and until the last couple of years have been able to get it in the UK. I finally found it on the Feelunique website. Thank you so much.

Local Girl Scouts Go Global
We are Girl Scout Seniors from Brookfield and LaGrange, and recently we discovered the value and self-satisfaction of helping others even if we have never met. The four of us found this out first-hand when we went to Operation Care Package in Joliet. The folks at OCP are dedicated volunteers on a mission to supply the comforts of home to military personnel on deployment. We packed toiletries, candy and complete care packages to be sent to military personnel around the world in places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
The experience was very enlightening and helped us realize how lucky we truly are. And the ability to help the people who protect us and fight for our country and the freedom of others is gratifying. Giving back to these brave men and women seemed like the logical thing to do.
Many of our Girl Scout programs award us patches for projects accomplished. But by us helping out the military, it made patches seem less significant than helping others and making a real difference for someone else.
We imagined a soldier coming back from a long day on patrol and arriving back at camp to find a care package from home. We know they must appreciate that someone truly cares about them and what they are doing for their country. Aside from the candy and toiletries, each person received a magazine, cards, a movie, socks, canned fruit, paper, pens and envelopes along with cards and letters from appreciative citizens back home.
So why should you get involved? Of course you will receive the usual patch, but you will gain the experience and satisfaction of helping others. Imagine the children in some war-torn country, then imagine yourself, safe in your bed…who is ensuring that safety? The brave men and women of the United States military. The question is not should you get involved, but why wouldn't you?
-Amber B., Brianna H., Anastasia Q. and Elizabeth S., Girl Scout Troop 58157

A Computational Design Synthesis Method for MEMS using COMSOL
F. Bolognini1, A. A. Seshia1, and K. Shea21Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
2Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany
Computational synthesis methods, used to help designers in the creative phase of the design process, often find an obstacle to their development in the difficulty of finding efficient simulation packages to integrate into the automated search of design solutions.
Problems in coupling these search methods with analysis tools arise due to the impossibility of integrating them easily and time-efficiently, while another problem is the lack of commercial software able to implement the often complex and multi-domain analysis that is required by the search.
In this paper, a novel synthesis method for MEMS design, CNS-Burst, is introduced. The work shows how COMSOL was easily integrated into the search routine. Results also demonstrate how COMSOL was able to produce accurate results for the required design tasks.

16.02.2014 /
ARLINGTON, Texas – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey placed 2nd in front of the packed AT&T Stadium for the seventh round of the Monster Energy Supercross Series. His teammate, Ken Roczen, secured a 6th place finish to remain 2nd in the overall point standings.
Ryan Dungey was placed in the first 450SX heat race where he earned a decent jump out of the gate and rounded the first corner in sixtth position. Halfway into the heat race he was able to move around two riders to secure fourth place. On the final lap he began a battle for third position but was unable to make the pass stick. He held on to fourth place to transfer to the main event.
Teammate Ken Roczen was up next in 450SX heat number two. Roczen pulled a third place start on the first lap remaining right on the rear tires of the front runners. At the halfway point, he was able to make an inside pass on the front two riders as they pushed each other wide in a battle for the lead. Once in the lead position, he was able to pull a small gap and went on to take the heat win and a great gate pick for the main event.
In the 450SX main event, Dungey leaped out front first and was able to pull the holeshot aboard his KTM 450 SX-F race machine. Dungey led the first three laps of the race before falling one spot to second position. Meanwhile, Roczen had earned a fifth place start and found himself in the middle of a four-man train of riders that were battling for the final podium position. Throughout the race Roczen battled for multiple top five positions, swapping places with Justin Barcia, Ryan Villopoto and Justin Brayton along the way. Unfortunately, at the end of the twenty lap main, he had fallen to sixth place where he finished for the night.
While Roczen was in the mix and in the fray for the final podium, Dungey, up to the leaders remained close to Stewart for the remaining laps and was able to pull a gap on the third place rider. He rode a mistake free race and landed on the podium. His runner-up position helped boost his overall standing in the championship points to fourth place.
On the podium, Dungey commented: "Stewart was pulling a triple after the finish line that I wasn't hitting for the first part of the race and I lost some time to him. He rode awesome tonight and I want to congratulate him on his win. My bike performed flawlessly tonight and I was really happy with my ride. We will build off of this for next weekend. I am really happy to be on the podium. It's a great feeling to be up here."
The evening also saw the launch of the 250-class East Coast competition and the top KTM rider was Cole Thompson in sixth place. Red Bull KTM Factory rider Marvin Musquin of France is still recuperating from surgery.

text: April 01. 2013 12:51PM JACOB VERONEAU Concord teen charged in crash that killed two CONCORD - A 17-year-old teen, involved in a crash that killed a man and a 7-year-old child, is charged with destroying physical evidence in the case for deleting text messages from his cellphone.Jacob Veroneau, 17, of Hooksett Turnpike, Concord, turned himself into police Monday after police obtained a warrant charging him with a class B felony of falsifying physical evidence.Jesse Wolfe, 31, of Concord and Kyara Mailhot, 7, of Manchester, daughter of Wolfe's girlfriend, Kaylan Kuck of Manchester, died from injuries sustained in the Oct. 19 crash on Clinton Street, near Iron Works Road.Wolfe died at the scene, while Mailhot died two weeks later.Lt. Tim O'Malley said the investigation was lengthy for many reasons, including the fact that the case involved the deaths of two people and investigators had to conduct "vehicle autopsies" on Wolf's car and Veroneau's SUV to determine if there were any mechanical problems that could have caused the collision.Investigators worked closely with the Merrimack County Attorney's Office, he said, and determined the primary possible cause of the crash was Wolf's failure to yield, with both the weather - it was a rainy, foggy night - and texting on the part of Veroneau as contributing factors.Veroneau, O'Malley said, deleted text messages from his cellphone after detectives asked him if he had been texting prior to the crash.O'Malley said investigators could not prove Veroneau was texting when the crash happened.

Kent State Student
Wins Top Award in
National Flight
Landing Competition
Kent State University aeronautics student Ryan Weber, from Chardon, Ohio, won the top spot in the power-on landing competition at the National Intercollegiate Flying Association' s Safety and Flight Evaluation Conference (SAFECON 2013) in Columbus, Ohio, on May 11. SAFECON is a national competition that brings together more than 300 students from 30 colleges and universities from across the country to vie to be the national champions for both team and pilot honors. The competition develops and advances aviation education through a strong emphasis on aviation safety.
Weber, a member of Kent State's Precision Flight Team, competed against more than 140 students from aviation colleges and universities across the nation.
"Winning the SAFECON short-field landing national championship has been one of my greatest moments," Weber said. "All my training and practice came down to one event. I cannot explain the emotion that came from the win. It has been a challenging, but fun road."
Weber attributes his success at the competition to his training at Kent State.
"Kent State gave me the opportunity to succeed in this event," he said. "It started with my very first lesson in flight back in January 2011. I learned many valuable lessons and skills. They also allowed me to use the airplanes to practice landings for many hours in the months leading up to the competition."
Kent State Assistant Professor of Aeronautics and Precision Flight Team advisor Richard Mangrum describes Weber as an accomplished aviator whose achievements have far reaching benefits for all of the traveling public because he and other successful student pilots like him will end up as crew and pilots for commercial airlines.
"We are all very proud of his accomplishment," Mangrum said. "Being the best at a landing competition with the top teams in the nation competing is a very strong statement about his abilities. The Kent State Aeronautics program has a long and successful history in doing well and winning the top spot in the short-field landing and the power-off landing events; we have several national champions to our credit. It is evidence that our program is truly among the elite flight training programs in the country.
"Because of the global nature of aviation, every time one of our students strives to land or navigate or perform any other task just a little better than their peers, the ripple effect of that effort is also global," Mangrum added. "The skills and achievements of a competitor on the flight team at SAFECON is a critical element of what we do in collegiate aviation."
The Cessna C-150 airplane Weber used in the competition, famous for its Kent State Golden Flashes paint job, was donated by Calvin Carstensen, retired assistant coach of the university's Precision Flight Team and competition judge.
"Ryan is now the number one power-on lander of a single-engine airplane of all the flight training students in the nation," Carstensen said. "This is a top award distinction worthy of celebration at Kent State."
Kent State's Precision Flight Team previously received the prestigious Loening Trophy, a perpetual trophy presented annually to the outstanding all-around collegiate aviation program in the nation during SAFECON 2011.

After years of approving requests for funding from those big, brown puppy eyes of local nonprofits and other groups, the Mono County supervisors kept their promise to stick to a budget they set last year to cap funds for "non-county organizations" at $75,000.
Twenty organizations attended the Mono County supervisors meeting Tuesday, Oct. 16, with hands outstretched for some county bounty.
Between Jazz Jubilee, Swim Team, AYSO, Chamber Music Unbound, avalanche predictions, trails, 4H science camps, and several others, the total amount of money requested landed at $139,861.
"We decided we were going in the direction of weaning people off public sector money," said Supervisor Larry Johnston. "It always comes to this discussion. Everyone wants a frugal, efficient government, but everyone wants money from it, too."
Dispersing county money to local nonprofits and other groups had "snow-balled" in previous years, the supervisors noted, and they said this was the year they weren't going to give in to those big, brown eyes.
It's not because they don't want to, but because they just can't.
The Mammoth Lakes $29.5 million MLLA settlement didn't help the matter, either. Traditionally, the Town of Mammoth Lakes contributed to some of the groups. This year, with either nonexistent or dramatically diminished funding from the town, there was more pressure on the county.
The county is also trying to stay solvent, build a reserve for even worse times, and provide the absolutely necessary functions of a government (public safety, roads, bridges, etc.), the supervisors said.
Johnston proposed giving nothing to the up-and-coming June Lake Loop Music Festival, cutting Mammoth Lakes Trails and Public Access (MLTPA) to almost nothing, and cutting the requests from many of the groups by about half.
"You're going to look like Santa Claus when I get done," said Supervisor Hap Hazard to Johnston. Then he turned to the audience and said, "I'm not going to back off. You need to raise more money."
The supervisors granted the most money to youth activities and historical societies, reasoning these groups were already doing as much fund raising as they could.
The supervisors cut requests from larger organizations, such as Friends of the Inyo and MLTPA, reasoning these groups had a greater ability to raise outside funds—and their higher dollar amount requests made the most impact to the county budget.
The only group to walk away empty-handed was the Antelope Valley CERT group. Its request of $6,582 was denied, but the county supervisors promised to seek money from the county sheriff's department to fund the group.
In order for the county to stick to its original $75,000 budget, most groups didn't receive their requested amount.
But at least they got something.

Divers combed through a sunken ferry Saturday to retrieve the bodies of more than 200 people still missing from an overnight collision with a cargo vessel near the central Philippine port of Cebu that sent passengers jumping into the ocean and leaving many others trapped. At least 28 were confirmed dead and hundreds rescued. The captain of the ferry MV Thomas Aquinas, which was approaching the port late Friday, ordered the ship abandoned when it began listing and then sank just minutes after collision with the MV Sulpicio Express, coast guard deputy chief Rear Adm. Luis Tuason said. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)

Hello All,
This is Michael Wilson from Jacksonville Florida. Last year I helped the North Florida ORCAS put on their annual regatta in the Jax area. Alot of you attended and I hope had a good time. The pond we where using was great for boats but a little murky for submarines. I did lose my sub for a couple hours but did retrieve it by powering it to the surface. Lesson learned. We need to have water that is clear enough to see down to at least 6 foot or more. I think most of you would agree.
Sometime before the end of this year I would like to see the Subcom DeepSouth get together for a sub sail or whatever you want to call it. Regatta seems to apply to a larger event. Either way I'd like to know how many of us would be willing to start something like the first annual southern SUBRUN maybe in October or November? Lets say somewhere centrally located so no one person has to drive 1000 miles to attend.
My email is email@example.com
Let me know how you fell about it.

My phone rang. The daycare was calling. Both E and G woke up from their naps with fevers. I scrambled to leave work early, to take them home. We left L, the healthy in the middle, to finish out her day at school.
Both sickies were miserable. They moaned and sniffled and comforted each other. I drove, and hoped that keeping L separate would keep her from falling ill, too.
Across their absent sister's empty seat, a bowl of fruit and a desperately-needed tissue box, E & G held hands the whole way home. |
E moaned and writhed in her sleep. G whimpered and needed to be held. The night went on forever, two feverish children and one we watched for sickness.
The longest night ended and the shortest day came. Diagnoses: bronchitis and bronchitis with ear infection. Copays and prescriptions. Gratitude for illnesses that are fleeting, and that I don't have to manage alone. Gratitude for the reminder that after the longest night, shorter nights will come.
And now we're on the other side. The kids are sleeping without whimpers or night sweats. We're almost back to health. And we get to enjoy more light again.

How Many Duck
Sometimes, when I tell someone about Vietnam, I like to start with a question. How many live ducks can you transport on a motorbike? A motorbike being, of course, a smaller relative of the motorcycle. A live duck being, or course, a duck which is not dead.
Phil Willips glared up at me from the canal bank beside the road. I studied the gravel around my boots and tried hard not to laugh. Cow Man stared at both of us, as you would stare at a TV commercial for soap, if you had a TV. Cow Man probably did not, standing alone in the freezing rain, half covered in the shreds of a neon green poncho, his shins and feet bare. Frost bite may be relative. He looked unperturbed.
With one hand he held down his straw cone-hat against the wind; with the other, his cow. A man and his cow held together by a long braided cord. The man and his cow stared at us, mainly at Phil, trying to pee discretely down the side of a small dirt road, empty except for the three individuals staring at him.
"This is bloody hopeless", he shouted up the cracked concrete bank, "Make the fucker go away!"
"I don't think I can. He's got a cow."
"So make the cow go away!"
"I don't think I can. He's got a man."
Phil almost laughed. If it was a commercial for laundry detergent or kid's cereal, he would have.
"I hate you," he declared affectionately, to no one in particular.
Cow Man laughed too, quietly, embarrassed by the presence of two long-nosed foreigners wrapped up to the ears in shiny Gor Tex, standing and conversing up and down the bank of a canal where they most certainly should not have been. There is little sense in foreigners, he might have thought.
His cow broke the stalemate. Ambling down one of the dikes dividing rice paddies, the man in tow on the thin cord, a visual aberration of who leads who. Phil let out a sigh of gratitude and relieved himself into the clear shallow water. Downstream in front of a small house, collapsing in slow motion, two hundred coal black ducks inspected him from a distance, then squabbled amongst themselves as his tepid offering wove its way past them on the slow current.
"You shouldn't pee in a river", I told him down the bank.
"Round here, you shouldn't drink from one either."
Which was also true.
Whether it stems from a lifetime of isolated rural living, or the moral pressures of nationalized Catholicism, Philius Drake Willips bears the peculiar cross urinary modesty. In Vietnam, it is a heavy cross to bear.
"I can't piss in public. It's just not right!"
And while this might be a manageable condition in rural Ireland, public urination is a staple of life on the Vietnamese highway system. Pee is universal. In good weather, it's rather like a party. Shuttle buses of ten or twelve men will stop roadside against the blur of traffic, line up shoulder to shoulder, and relieve themselves in unison into the same drainage ditch. Should a similar shuttle pass by the spectacle, its passengers might rise to the occasion and pull up alongside, expelling more men to join the line. Outside Can Tho, on the northern fringe of the Mekong, I witnessed three vehicles peeing together on opposite sides of the road. The mood was festive.
"Maybe it was good place to go," my bartender told me later, when asked.
Phil's canal was obviously not a good place to go. I did not feel compelled to join him, and settled for a cigarette instead. From somewhere behind the beaten house, another flock of ducks appeared, these entirely white. They pulled up alongside the black flock on the bank but stayed separate. Color-coded poultry. A small cone-hatted man followed them, noticed us, and began the staring process. I waved. He waved back and took a step towards us on the road. I waited a second, then waved again. He waved back, and took another step towards us. I waved again.
Down the dike, the other man's cow slipped gracefully into a paddy and began munching on something. Cow Man stood above on the dike and stared over his cow until it began munching something inappropriate, then gave it a stern word and pointed. The cow looked dubious, then turned and moved to more acceptable munching. I waved at Cow man too, but he was absorbed in his cow. Duck Man continued his approach to within several feet, then stopped, almost exactly where Cow Man had stood earlier.
"You buy?"
Far from the major cities and tourist hubs, the sound of English is surprising and unnatural. But certain phrases have migrated beyond their traditional bounds and can now be found even in the remotest country. This is one such phrase, perhaps the most commonly known in Vietnam excluding 'Hello'. Duck Man had it down to a science. I answered in my best Vietnamese that I didn't understand. What did he want me to buy? He smiled and nodded, then repeated.
"You buy?"
From the house, a tiny girl, barefoot in Levi jeans and a Gucci shirt, his granddaughter perhaps, ran up to clarify, one white duck held aloft for inspection. The duck stared at us in the way of all ducks. Phil sent me a look that said, "Of course not, but...?"
"What would we do with it?"
"Never mind that now, just find out how much he wants."
Again in my best Vietnamese, I tried.
"Con vit bao nhieu tien?" Duck how much money?
This time Duck Man understood and held up a generous three fingers.
"Three dollars?" I asked, and he nodded affirmative.
Three dollars for a live duck.
"That's a bargain," exclaimed Phil.
"For a duck?"
"We could mount it to your bike like a hood ornament!"
"What about all the wind?"
"We could take it to Hanoi!"
"What if ducks don't like Hanoi?"
"We could break its neck!"
We both nodded.
The duck stared at Phil.
I wondered how one goes about breaking a duck's neck, then politely declined the purchase. Duck Man nodded as if he foresaw the same potential problems, then lowered his price by a dollar and tried again. We lashed our saddlebags back onto the motorcycles and re-wrapped ourselves against the cold.
As we pulled away, back up the road towards the highway, Gucci girl was rallying the black ducks. Arms outstretched, messianic, she shuffled round the flock, shaping them into tight honking formation. Once assembled on the dike, she took two powerful steps towards them and yelped. The ducks turned as one, and began tumbling up the dike towards the house. The girl strode after them until their momentum took over, then turned back for the remaining stragglers. Like a single mass, the squabbling ball of ducks rolled up the dike, cheek to cheek, perfect in their disorderly unison. On a dime, they turned and funneled back into their enclosure behind the house.
Later, in the dense traffic that forms on the southern edge of Hanoi, I saw a Honda Super Cub buzzing along through the gas and madness. The driver was a calm ponchoed man, balding into his golden years, the blank stare of rain wrapped round his face. On the back of his bike, he had secured a broad wagon wheel, strapped horizontal across the seat. From the wheel, tied by their feet, more than one hundred white ducks hung shoulder to shoulder in the blind wind. So much dead life strung up by the toes brought out a long dormant sense of sympathy, the daily death of so many justified by two dollars apiece. For the first time in ages, I felt sorry.
Then one of the ducks untucked his bill from his wing and swung a long neck around to stare at me upside-down. He honked once, whispered something to his dangling neighbor, and re-tucked his bill. Side by side with his fellows, he was swept away, droning off through the haze to his own paltry two dollars.
