Wright Lecture and Award, which was presented during a dinner hosted by Lester Su, chair of the ASME Committee on Government Relations. The event was held in the Mansfield Room of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on April 23.ASME President Charla Wise welcomed ASME members and invited guests, first introducing the Honorable Gary Peters, a U.S. senator from Michigan, for opening remarks. Senator Peters discussed the technological progression being made by engineers today, specifically in regards to self-driving ve hicles, noting that the Federal government has a role to play in ensuring ur nation is able to meet the challenges and opportunities that come with the rapid technological advancements that are currently taking place. The senator shared his excitement for the potential opportunities self-driving vehicles will offer as they are further developed and manufactured here in the United States. Before departing, Senator Peters recognized Dr. Shawn Moylan, an ASME Congressional Fellow, who has been serving in his office since September 2017.Wise then introduced the Keynote Speaker, Clayton Daniel Mote, Jr., Ph.D., for the ASME Roy V. Wright Lecture. The lecture, established in 1949 to honor Wright, ASMEs 50th president, is a tribute to his contributions as a citizen to our nation and to his community. By means of this lecture, ASME hopes to impress on engineers and all young people, the duties, responsibilities and privileges of citizenship in our democracy. The Honorable Gary Peters, a U.S. senator from Michigan, provided opening remarks at the event.ASME members and guests were engrossed by Dr. Motes lecture, titled The National Academy of Engineerings Grand Challenges for Engineering and the Scholars Program, which presented an aspirational vision of what engineering needs to deliver to all people on the planet in the 21st century.Dr. Mote shared how the NAEs Grand Challenges report, which was published in 2008, spawned a biannual series of Global Grand Challenges Summits hosted by the NAE, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering. The NAE Grand Challenges Scholars Program was launched at a U.S. national summit on the Grand Challenges in 2009.The vision for the NAE Grand Challenges for Engineering and their solutions are global, so a principal goal of the NAE Grand Challenges Scholars Program is to engage young engineers to work on global challenges. A second, broader goal is to prepare students for the multicultural, multi disciplinary, socially conscious global engagement needed for 21stcentury engineering, through an educational supplement that is adaptable to any university engineering education program. The Honorable Gary Peters, U.S. senator, with ASME President Charla Wise. Dr. Mote informed guests that initially, 122 U.S. engineering deans signed a letter to President Obama in 2015 committing to launch Grand Challenges Scholars Programs and to prepare at least 20,000 Grand Challenges Scholars over the next decade. Currently, approximately 56 U.S. universities have operational programs or programs under review and another 33 are exploring programs. The NAE ultimately anticipates expanding to 200 domestic programs, more than half of the engineering colleges in this country. In addition, Grand Challenges Scholars Programs are operational or being formed at 19 foreign universities. According to Dr. Mote, interest in the program among students is high, so continued growth, often driven by the st udents themselves, is realistic. The NAE Grand Challenges have also been incorporated in K-12 curriculums and in after-school programs across the United States.In his closing remarks, Dr. Mote stated that as the Grand Challenges Scholars Program continues to expand nationally and globally, the bridges for solutions to Grand Challenges for particular locales will be built by the young engineers who participate in the program, which is why this program is the key to fulfilling the vision of the Grand Challenges for Engineering in this century.Before adjourning, President Wise presented Dr. Mote with an award in recognition of his dedication and commitment to ASME, the U.S., and the world community by preparing the next generation for the 21st century global engineering initiatives.

Alleviating Pressure Ulcers

Alleviating Pressure Ulcers Alleviating Pressure Ulcers Alleviating Pressure UlcersThere are many issues that have been brought into the public eye when it comes to paralysis. But one issue patients deal with that many may not be familiar with is pressure ulcers, which can lead to serious infection and, in the worst cases, death. Surgery can cost between $50,000-100,000 per episode, says Carmen DiGiovine. He is a clinical associate professor in occupational therapy, and the program director for the assistive technology center with The Ohio State Universitys Wexner Medical Center. For his team, the solution theyre working on is called Sit Smart. DiGiovine says it began when he was approached five years ago about the pressure ulcer dicke bretter bohren mssen by someone in the medical community. The idea for the device didnt immediately take off but was then seen as a good project for a capstone. This is exactly the kind of project where a students enthusiasm can make the difference, he says. What are pressure ulcers? For individuals who dont have sensation in the lower half of their body they dont have that feedback ordnungsprinzip the rest of us have, explains DiGiovine. They cant detect pain and cant move around to react to that pain. Sitting for long periods of time in a wheelchair, the bone can push against muscle and push against their skin, which causes a pressure ulcer. He says the statistics say that 50%-85% of those with paralysis will suffer from ulcers. Professors Carmen DiGiovine (left) and Sandra Metzler are the driving force behind Sit Smart. Image Katrina Norris / Ohio State University According to DiGiovine, the Sit Smart invention is about helping with behavior adjustment as much as anything. You want less pressure on the parts prone to injury and pressure ulcers, so, if youre out of position, it will know, he says. Sit Smart gives those in the medical field data to look at to help the user change their behavior. It also tells the user when theyr e out of position. People in wheelchairs are told to switch positions every 15-30 minutes but dont always do it because they dont keep timers and its not easy to have a sense of how much time has gone by. Our way says that rather than time, look at the amount of pressure and provide that feedback to the user. The vision right now is that consumers would see the areas that are under that potentially harmful pressure light up. Presently, Sit Smart is wired but the intent is for it to become wireless and utilize Bluetooth. Students involved stretched their minds to think about everything from a whole seat cushion system on down, he says, but over time, they realized sensors in a mat was the efficient and affordable way to take measurements and provide feedback to both consumer and clinician. A unique part is also that our students are graduating and going on to their own lives yet are still involved in the project, he says. They are still consultants and they did that because they real ly wanted to help people. We all meet every other week driven by recognizing that this is a significant problem, but, one that has a potential solution. Eric Butterman is an independent writer.

How to manage your finances when you are married

How to manage yur finances when you are marriedHow to manage your finances when you are marriedOne of the most popular questions I get from clients and readers is this how should we combine finances after we get married? And to be honest, theres no one-size-fits-all answer to that question. But its an important question to answer for yourself and your spouse. How exactly you approach this subject will depend on you and your partner, but these are the things you should do to figure it out.Talk, Talk, TalkI hope you had the money talk before you got married, but if not, you must do it now. Money touches every area of our lives, so its imperative to talk about it with our partners. Talk about how your parents dealt with money while you were growing up. Talk about what fears, habits, and beliefs that created in your life. Talk about any money mistakes youve made it the past. Talk about your money habits and if and when you go overboard with your spending. Once you do this, you can be ope n and honest in your approach to managing money together.Get TransparentIf youre going to be sharing your life, you should be transparent about what that life includes. That means getting really honest about any debt that either of you owe, any big money mistakes youve made in the past, and more. You should both shareSet Joint GoalsMoney is much easier to talk about when you frame it around your goals. It reminds you why youre sticking to a budget, which makes it more motivating, and sometimes easier. Setting joint goals is even more important, so that you both know what youre working towards. It also will allow you to act as a team when it comes to your money, because Decide If/How to Combine AccountsEvery couple handles money differently. Gone are the days when the husband earned the money and handled all the financial decisions. Gone are the days when women werent even allowed to have their own bank accounts. Now, as marriages look different than they used to, and women are becom ing the main breadwinners, there are more options for handling money.I personally like to have some of my own money. I think its important to at least have your own personal emergency savings account in case you need to leave a relationship. For Dan and me, we each have our own checking and savings accounts, but we also have joint accounts. fruchtwein of our expenses and spending come out of our joint accounts, but we also have our own money to use as we please.Assign the Money Point PersonWho is going to be the one to pay the bills? Whose name is going to be on the accounts? Sometimes, there is an obvious person who is more financially inclined or organized. Or perhaps, one of you hates managing money less than the other. Maybe there are ways to split up the money tasks. Make koranvers its an open conversation with a clear, defined plan so that no one is confused or resentful afterwards.Set Some Ground RulesThis isnt a step to take in order to control your partner. But you should b oth be on the same page about what is acceptable or not. Is there a sum of money that is too large to make the purchase unilaterally? How do you want to approach each other to discuss a large purchase? How to do you want to make decisions about household income and expenses?Meet With a Financial ExpertDan and I recently met with a friend of mine who is a financial planner. Yes, Im a financial coach but Im not an investment expert, nor do I know much about things like life insurance. Now that were getting married, I wanted to make sure were on the right track financially. This is especially true since Im not putting as much away for retirement this year, as Ive taken a big pay cut by quitting my day job. I wanted to make sure Id still be secure in the future while taking a break for a year or two. We got great advice for retirement savings, and learned a lot about life insurance. I feel a lot more confident and secure about ourHave Regular Money DatesJust like you cant set and forget a budget, you cant set and forget joint financial goals. You have to check in and make sure things are still on track, and see if there are any tweaks that need to be made. Set up a regular day and time that you will sit down with your partner and review your finances. Go over your banking and leistungspunkt card statements, compare those to the budget that you set up. Is there anything that isnt working? Does anything need to be tweaked? Chances are, the answer is yesBe realistic when you schedule these dates. Dont plan on having the conversation on Sunday evening if you know youre always scrambling to prepare for the week and will likely skip the conversation. Perhaps you can pair the date with something fun, or give yourselves a reward after you have the conversation. Continuing to do this will keep you open and transparent about money, and will allow you to make changes when needed.This article was originally published on MaggieGermano.com.

The Motivations of Passion and Money

The Motivations of Passion and Money The Motivations of Passion and Money The short answer is no, nothing guarantees financial success. But does that mean you should abandon your dreams of being a pioneer, starting a business, or pursuing unconventional work? Of course not. But that answer comes with conditions. For instance, if your passion wont allow you to subsist at an acceptable level or would affect your education then you probably shouldnt bet your economic stability on its success. After all, without your basic needs being met you have lack the capacity to pursue your passions in any successful fashion.But even the threat of economic ruin shouldnt keep you from participating in your passions to some extent. In fact, research has shown that people who regularly work towards something for which they are passionate are more satisfied and fulfilled than those who do not. This is just as true for individuals who possess the material means to do what makes them happy.fruchtwein o f the time, people who have more than enough money to consider pursuing more fulfilling work refuse to do so simply because doing so would shrink their income. To these individuals, the point where they have enough money to abandon the work that keeps them unhappy is never reached. But the assumption that they dont already have sufficient means to do so is frequently wrong.Another incorrect assumption is that doing what makes you happy can never lead to financial success. The fact of the matter is that you never know where your passions will lead, what you will produce, and the value that others may find in your inventions or insight. The only way to find out what your dreams have to offer is to act towards reaching them. The only way to turn an uncertainty into a certainty is to actively pursue the consequences.The fact is that you can never precisely predict the future. You can never plan for every eventuality. All one can do is move slowly, and smartly, towards making a reality a nd wait and see what happens. Even small steps can change reality in a big way or reveal perspectives that were previously unseen. And, you never know, you may find that your passion can and does turn a profit. But even if it doesnt, spending part of your day doing something that makes you feel purposeful and content is necessary in being happy and more productive in both your personal and professional lives. Dont let the money factor keep you from pursuing your dream.

Handing in a Job Application After the Deadline

Handing in a Job Application After the DeadlineHanding in a Job Application After the DeadlineWhile your chances of getting an interview after submitting a late application are slim. However, theres also no harm in still submitting an application. Its possible that the company may consider your application if it hasnt received enough resumes from qualified applicants by the close of the deadline. When the deadline hits, they may still be looking for great people. You could be one of them. Why Employers Set Closing Dates As a hard-and-fast-rule, its always much better if you submit your job application by the closing date. Thats just common sense. Organizations set closing dates to cut off the number of applications they must consider for vacant standorts. They give the job posting enough time to attract a sufficient applicant pool, but not so much time that the volume of applications overwhelms people screening those applications. If its critical for the position to be filled qui ckly, the organization might set a shorter deadline than it normally would. Deadlines Matter You want to enhance your chances of getting the job by showing the company you can comply with its announced deadline. The deadline mitigates the possibility the organization will hire someone who has trouble with deadlines. If someone fails to turn in an application on time, the organization can be leery about giving that person any more deadlines to miss. The sample size for measuring lateness is minuscule, but thats all the organization has to judge. Now is a good time to show the company you can meet deadlines with no problem. How Online Applications Ensure Timeliness Online application systems make it easy for applicants to ensure they turn in their application materials on time. Many systems allow each applicant to check the progress of a submitted application through the hiring process. If hiring managers and human resources department staff keep this information up-to-date, t hey get fewer calls and emails from applicants inquiring about a particular applicants standing in the hiring process. But Sometimes You Cant Help But Miss the Deadline Even so, sometimes you cant meet the deadline for reasons outside your control. Lets say you just came across the job listing today, and youre shocked to see the deadline was yesterday. Or a few days ago. But its the perfect job for you, and you know youd be an ideal fit Or maybe you missed the deadline because life got in the way. Maybe you were aware of the deadline in advance, but unavoidable circumstances prevented you from meeting the deadline. Stuff happens. In either case, dont despair. Submit your application right away But dont hesitate about it anymore. Get cracking on it right away and complete that application immediately. The door is closing. In either situation, your application might get noticed. Especially in a tight job market, companies are always looking for talented, hardworking, qualified emp loyees. You might just be the exact person theyre looking for. Opening the Door for Future Opportunities Heres another reason why it can be okay to submit your application after a deadline. Maybe youre not a perfect fit for the position you applied for, but maybe the company needs someone whos just like you for another position- another one that it may or may not have advertised. Maybe a new job requisition just popped up in the department, and the company decides you might be right for it even before its posted. Theres another possibility. Maybe the company doesnt need someone like you right now, but possibly the hiring manager will take one look at your resume and decide to keep you in mind for future opportunities. You might not get the job you applied for- but the company might contact you down the road about another position.

Track Veterinarian Career and Job Outlook

Track Veterinarian Career and Job OutlookTrack Veterinarian Career and Job OutlookTrack veterinarians inspect racehorses to verify that they are fit for competition. Duties Track veterinarians are licensed equine practitioners tasked with ensuring that all racehorses at a track are healthy and sound for competition. They are employed by the racetrack association and are leid available for personal hire by trainers seeking veterinary care for their animals. Track veterinarians observe horses during morning workouts, inspect entries in the paddock area before each race, and closely monitor the starting gate area as horses are loaded. They remain on call during live racing to attend to any injuries, emergencies, or late scratches in the paddock or gate area. They also notify the racing stewards and racing secretary of any horses that are not in proper condition for competition by placing them on the Vets List. Track vets also oversee the collection and testing of blood and urine sam ples used for random pre-race and post-race drug analysis. They also observe horses after each race for signs of lameness or exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (nasal bleeding). All data on injuries and other medical issues are then entered into a computerized database. It is common for track veterinarians to work five to six days each week with a schedule that includes evenings, weekends, and holidays. Work often occurs outdoors in varying temperatures and potentially extreme weather conditions. All veterinarians, especially those working with horses and other large animals, must take care to follow proper safety precautions so that they can minimize the risk of injury. Career Options Track veterinarians may transition into regulatory roles such as state veterinarian positions. They may also go into private equine practice to offer routine care to clients at the track or breeding farms. Outside of the equine industry, they may work as pharmaceutical ausverkauf representative s, college professors, military veterinarians, researchers, or government inspectors. According to the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP), nearly half of equine veterinarians are involved with performance horses (44.8%). Other major areas of service include pleasure/farm work (17.2%), racing work (13.7%), and reproductive work (13.2%). The American Veterinary Medical Associations employment survey (conducted in 2013) indicated that there were 3,827 veterinarians working exclusively in equine practice. Education and Training All equine veterinarians must successfully graduate with a general Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, the culmination of a rigorous course of study involving both small and large animal species. There are 30 accredited colleges of veterinary medicine in the United States that offer a DVM degree. Upon graduation, vets must also pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE) to become licensed to practice in their state. Approxima tely 3,000 vets successfully complete the NAVLE exam and enter the field each year. At the end of 2013, in the most recent AVMA employment survey available, there were 99,720 practicing U.S. veterinarians. Professional Associations The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) has a membership of more than 10,000 veterinarians hailing from 67 countries, making it the worlds largest equine veterinary organization. The AAEP puts on a major convention each year that offers over 100 hours of educational lectures and demonstrations designed for equine veterinarians. Salary The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not collect data specifically on equine veterinarians, but it does include them in the more general category of all veterinarians. The median salary for all veterinarians was $84,460 per year ($40.61 per hour) in the 2012 survey. The highest paid ten percent of veterinarians earned more than $144,100 per year while the lowest paid ten percent of veterinarians earned less than $51,530 per year. According to the AVMA, the median professional income for equine veterinarians (before taxes) was $88,000 in 2011. The mean first-year salary for equine veterinarians was $47,806 in 2013. Job Outlook According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the veterinary profession will expand at about 12 percent, approximately the same satz as the average for all professions. Prior years saw much faster growth (as high as 33 percent), but there has been a bit of a slowdown in the veterinary services industry and the number of graduates entering the field each year has increased (from approximately 2,500 per year to about 3,000 per year). The American Association of Equine Practitioners reports that the highest concentrations of equine vets in the United States are located in California, Texas, and Florida. Outside of North America, the three countries with the highest concentrations of equine veterinarians are Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
