![]() Roush’s most expensive acquisition was a $2 million Xline 2000R powder-bed metal additive system from General Electric Co.’s Concept Laser. The company spent $4.5 million over 14 months on five additive manufacturing machines, software, facility upgrades and engineering personnel and equipment. Roush Enterprises (Livonia, MI) decided to go big with 3D printing. ![]() John Murray, CEO of Concept Laser Inc., and Frank Herzog, President & CEO of Concept Laser GmbH, are pleased about the first installations of the X line 1000R in the US.Company involved with automotive, aerospace invests big in additive manufacturing Parts being 3D printed at Roush Enterprises "With our headquarters serving the European market, a new branch office in the US and an established branch office in China, we are now active in three significant regions around the world," said Frank Herzog, President & CEO of Concept Laser GmbH. The task of the regional management team will be to enable service functions and fast responses to customer demands while at the same time improving communication with users and allowing a high level of information exchange. In the short term, the company will be strengthening regional activities at the Ningbo office in China in order to ensure short pathways to the customer in all three important industrial regions of the triad. However, they do not want to neglect the European markets and intend to continue adapting their structure according to market demand. Now that the first step has been taken, the management team at Concept Laser expects the capacity of the US business to be extended even further. LaserCUSING systems at Argen in San Diego (California) ![]() "Concept Laser is driven by technology, not capital," said Mr. Th US venture was planned well in advance: by the time the Dallas-based subsidiary was founded, over 40 LaserCUSING systems had already been installed.Īccording to CEO John Murray, as a medium-sized company run by its owners, they are not obliged to be listed on the stock exchange, but instead can reinvest their revenue in forward-thinking fields such as product development and R&D. Firstly, because the company wants to promote itself in a sustainable and professional manner, and secondly, as pioneers in laser melting, the company wants to demonstrate its technological expertise, which is based on numerous patents. Timely arrival on site: service staff from Concept Laser USAĬoncept Laser has stated that thorough preparations were made before setting up in the US. Other important branches of US industry, such as automotive or medical technology, are also in the process of adapting the new possibilities created by additive manufacturing. The US aerospace sector is systematically "calibrating" its manufacturing strategies toward additive approaches more than any other country in the world. The fact that US markets are developing dynamically with regard to additive manufacturing strategies is no longer insider knowledge, with particular interest in the field of aerospace technology. The new subsidiary is located in Dallas, TX, and was officially inaugurated on Augunder the management of CEO John Murray.Ĭompany founder: John Murray, CEO of Concept Laser Inc. Demand for LaserCUSING systems in the US was already high in the past, however developments over the last two to three years have made it necessary to create a regional structure so that sales and service tasks can be dealt with efficiently and on-site. Concept Laser hopes to assure itself a long-term position in the US market now that it has founded a new subsidiary in the states.

![]() Hold the dumbbells in a vertical orientation, with both ends of each bell touching, aligned with your sternum. ![]() Take a seat on a weight bench, and pick up the dumbbells. To perform the crush grip dumbbell press, grab two moderately heavy dumbbells and place them in front of you. Similar to a Svend press, the crush grip dumbbell press adds an extra challenge to a pressing motion by maintaining a constant contraction of the chest muscles throughout the entirety of the exercise. If you only have one dumbbell, or if your dumbbells are circular as opposed to hexagonal, perform the Svend press using a single dumbbell: hold the dumbbell in a horizontal orientation, and press into each end with your hands. To add variety to the Svend press, press the dumbbells away from you diagonally, in both upward and downward motions. Repeat this motion for 10-12 repetitions, reaching muscle fatigue on your final rep. Bring the dumbbells in towards your sternum, then extend your arms and press the dumbbells away from you in a straight line, keeping them pressed together. Stand with your feet about hip-width apart, and engage your core. Hold them by the handles, vertically oriented, and squeeze them together. To perform the Svend press, select two light to moderately heavy dumbbells. This exercise is frequently performed with plates as a way to warm-up for bench pressing, but it can be challenging all on its own by using a dumbbell or two. Hang out in the gym for long enough, and you’ll inevitably catch someone doing a Svend press. If you don’t have access to a weight bench, perform the chest fly while lying on a mat. To add variety to the chest fly, try alternating between your left and right arm, or perform all repetitions on one arm before moving to the next. Perform a set of 10-12 repetitions, reaching muscle fatigue on your final repetition. Once you’ve reached the end of your range, engage your chest muscles and bring the weights back to the starting position. With a slight bend in your elbow, slowly lower the weights to the side, keeping your arm position locked, stretching your chest, and retracting your shoulder blades. Raise both dumbbells into the air, with your palms facing each other and aligned directly over your sternum. ![]() Take a seat on a weight bench, pick up the dumbbells from the floor, and slowly lower yourself onto the bench until you’re lying flat. ![]() To perform the dumbbell chest fly, select two light to moderately heavy dumbbells and place them in front of you. The dumbbell chest fly is another very popular choice for strengthening all the chest muscles. If you don’t have access to a bench, perform the exercise lying on a mat instead. To add variety to the chest press, perform the exercise alternating between your right and left arm, or unilaterally - performing a set of repetitions on one arm, and then a set on the other. If you can perform more, choose heavier dumbbells for your next set. You should be able to perform a set of 10-12 repetitions before needing to rest. Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position by retracting (or “squeezing together”) your shoulder blades. Aim the weights to line up slightly in front of the shoulder, directly above your sternum (think “nipple line”), to avoid impinging the shoulder joint. Squeezing the chest, press both of the weights into the air, straightening your arms. Bring your arms into a right angle, with your elbow lined up slightly below your shoulder, your wrists neutral, and your knuckles facing the wall behind you. To perform the chest press, grab two moderately heavy dumbbells and place them in front of you. While it targets all the major muscles of the chest, it also works your shoulders and, when done correctly, even your back - making it a super efficient upper body strengthening exercise. The dumbbell chest press is a basic but incredibly popular movement. ![]() ![]() To learn more about why you might consider conducting an Honest Gage R&R, along with definitions regarding these different outputs, click here to read Dr. In his book, " EMP III Using Imperfect Data" (pgs.

“The devastation in Puerto Rico has brought so much sadness to me and my family. Natasha Nuñez, an employee of SPIN (Special People in Northeast), the larger disability non-profit that manages the center, has family on the island and was moved by the outpouring of support. “Many of our senior members on fixed incomes donated cases of baby formula, which cost more than $15 per container!” “I was astounded by the generosity of our members,” said Maureen Geiss, who oversees center operations. What started out as a simple idea ballooned into a week-long community effort: 15 fitness instructors taught free classes while more than 200 children, adults and seniors donated much-needed supplies. “While everyone’s first urge is to donate food, I knew as a mother myself that the hardest thing to find is baby food and feminine hygiene products.” “I know mothers who lost everything in the storm,” she said. Ortiz offered a free class to members of the community center, encouraging them to donate critical items. Ortiz turned to her “second family” for support: people who take her weekly spinning class at SPIN Community & Fitness on Norcom Road. Houses were ripped apart in their small city of Yauco and many are still without running water and basic necessities. PHILADELPHIA, PA (November 6, 2017)-After Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, Normandy resident Diana Ortiz waited three long weeks to hear from her family on the island. In the wake of Hurricane Maria, more than 200 members of SPIN Community & Fitness donated supplies for Puerto Rican families. ![]() With such a high rate of return, why wouldn’t they treat these places as assets and not homes? And why shouldn’t you and I grab our pitchforks and make them all PAY for their hideous greed?Īh, I guess that makes sense. The Bay Area market is heavily afflicted by the investor mindset, with corporations and other nonfamilies gobbling up properties they have no intention of living in. ![]() Over the past 30 years, home prices in this country have vastly outpaced inflation and continue to do so even now. It doesn’t help that sellers have investments to protect. SFGATE columnist Drew Magary admires the views of downtown San Francisco while touring a condominium available for sale on King Street in San Francisco’s SoMa on May 14. Supply, annoyingly, is not meeting demand. Over in the East Bay, active listings are nearly half the number they were just last fall. Available single-family homes remain all but a rumor. Roughly two-thirds of all properties are rental properties, much higher than the average city’s rental rates. Not only is all of this inventory hideously expensive, but it’s also scant. All of which screams buyer’s market, does it not? HOMES HERE SHOULD COST $5, DAMMIT. And finally, the Warriors got their s-t ruined by the Lakers. Meta laid off 21,000 people in the past year. This has all transpired despite San Francisco alone having lost more than 6% of its population since the pandemic hit and the population of California decreasing by roughly 500,000 people since 2020. According to data compiled by the California Association of Realtors, the median home price in every part of the Bay Area is down compared to last year but still clocks in at well over a million dollars in most counties, which is double the entire country’s median home price. On a macro level, the Bay Area market remains bulletproof to driving forces both within and without. In the process, I got an idea of what’s attainable for homebuyers in the Bay Area, whether they live here already or own a tour company in Boston (like one buyer I met). And I gawked at a LOT of spiral staircases. I walked the streets of downtown San Francisco ALONE, without a security detail flanking me.

Please excuse the lack of complimentary bottled water and Pirate’s Booty out on the kitchen island. ![]() A web designer’s job is technically never done. Users click buttons and navigate through websites. But there are differences in how users interact with each design. Web design is dynamic, while graphic design is staticīoth graphic design and web design draw viewers into a layout to tell a story or convey a message. Company designs may change over time, but the goal to engage and inspire should remain the same. Successful design must move the user through the design and ensure it’s interesting and engaging. They spend a lot of time in creative applications using different tools and techniques to paint a picture for the intended audience. Graphic designers need to have knowledge of color theory, visual hierarchy, typography, and more. Coding is required to be a successful web designer, but it’s not a necessary skill for graphic design. Web designers need to know how to program as well as how to use applications that support web development. ![]() Graphic design and web design use different skillsīoth web and graphic design require creative thinking but in different ways. But the skillsets required for each are not the same. Both design practices are essential to the user experience and the audience’s relationship with a brand. Now that we’ve covered the basics of each, we’ll explore the differences between graphic and web design. The differences between graphic and web design Elements such as visual hierarchy, color, layout, and typography are essential to designing a usable website. Just like graphic designers, web designers must understand the fundamentals of design to create the best possible UI for websites. Designers will test and optimize layouts to ensure they meet business standards. They also develop the visual layout of desktop and mobile website designs. Web designers are responsible for coding, designing, and building the user interface (UI) and navigation for websites. ![]() By combining aesthetically pleasing and functional elements, a successful web designer guides visitors to the content they want to view while arranging page elements in such a way that visitors want to stay on the page rather than click away. Web design is the practice of arranging and planning content on a website so that it can be accessed by and shared with visitors. Now let’s examine web design and its impact on the creative process as a whole. Graphic designers need a deep understanding of design fundamentals - such as color theory, typography, layout, and visual hierarchy. A good graphic designer leads viewers into the design and holds them there to let them think a little longer about the product or service that’s being depicted. With so much competition for their attention, people can easily flip a page or click somewhere else. Graphic design aims to present complex topics and information in a simple way. From company logos to billboards on the highway to the featured graphic in an article, graphic designers are tasked with telling the story by visual means. It is communication through visual content - either physically or virtually - to convey the story behind a product or campaign. Graphic design is the art of creating concepts with visual and textual elements. Let’s take a closer look at what each design practice brings to the table before exploring their differences in detail. For businesses, both types of designers are essential for creating content that makes visitors want to stay on your website. Generally speaking, while graphic design involves the creation of visual elements, web design is about the organization of visual elements. Web designers plan, conceptualize, and arrange content and visual elements on websites. Graphic designers use images, text, and other media to convey information through things like print advertisements and marketing materials. Graphic design and web design share some similarities but are two different practices that require different approaches and techniques.
![]() They have mercifully given him a makeover, as he previously looked like something out of a 14 year old’s “badass monster drawings” notebook. After a long wait, we finally have a new foe to overcome with the return of the Patriarch, KF1’s endgame nemesis. Each drop will only give you around six bullets for your revolvers, requiring you to carry one of each weapon to make hunting down ammo worthwhile.įor eight months, Hans Volter has been the single big baddie to overcome during the climactic finale of a Killing Floor 2 match. Also, since ammo pickups provide you with only a single clip, they end up being practically worthless for Gunslingers. This might sound like a bit of a nitpick, but it doesn’t immediately explain this to you, and a couple of times I messed up my inventory this way. It might not be initially apparent, but guns also sell as single units. Since each dual wielded version is just the cost of buying the single one twice, it eases you into the higher tier weapons better. The ability to purchase each gun individually is nice, as the cost barrier for the game’s higher level weapons can often be prohibitive. Getting into the minutia, there are some little things that make the Perk both more and less enjoyable. Combined with the variety offered by the various pistols and their one vs two handed styles, it allows the Perk to be molded fluidly into the style of your choosing. Faster weapon swaps make up for the low clip size and long reload time of the more powerful revolvers, allowing you to either dish out maximum damage on one target or clear out more weaker Zed more effectively. Precision means killing the big baddies, with the Handcannon tearing through even the Fleshpounder efficiently. What this means for players is that they can effectively fill a number of roles. It continues like this up the ladder, until your final choice between 3x faster fire and unlimited ammo in Zed mode. Level ten has you pick between dealing a flat 20% more damage, and an increasing damage buff up to 75% for consecutive headshots. The first skill unlocked at level five makes you pick between moving faster while aiming down the sights and faster weapon switching with automatic switch when a clip runs out. The Gunslinger makes this decision more meaningful with its Skills, which make you choose between becoming a precision damage dealer or an endless hail of bullets. There’s only so much variety you can get when your entire arsenal is various iterations of one or two of a sidearm. Generally, dual wielded pistols are a novelty. 50 Desert Eagle, and rapid fire M1911 Pistol is all the choice you might see starting off, but it quickly becomes more complex as you level up the Perk. Picking between the devastating 500 Handcannon, midrange. Gunslingers are different, and have to seriously balance a tradeoff of power and speed. Berserkers could chose between hitting things harder and having more health, but at the end of the day were still just smacking things with hammers. Killing Floor 2’s base Perks all serve a set role, with the Perk selection giving benefits towards providing that specific function. One of the things I liked most about the Perks introduced in Incinerate N’ Detonate was the differences in specialization. ![]() If you buy the second pistol, you cannot go back to using it in one hand unless you sell one, so be ready when you upgrade your gear.Īll that’s missing is a machine gun that shoots pistols to go full meta There’s a tradeoff to single vs dual wield, with the increased firepower of two guns generally outweighing the increased accuracy of a single iron sight pistol. They start off with Dual 1858 Revolvers, a six shot old west pistol that packs more of a punch than most starting weapons. The Gunslinger’s entire loadout is pistols, all of which can be dual wielded. While the Sharpshooter was, well, a sharpshooter, the Gunslinger serves as a midrange specialist damage dealer. Aside from the shared ability to wield two pistols, the two perks fill completely different roles. Though it bears similarities to the Sharpshooter Perk of KF1, the Gunslinger is the first KF2 Perk that isn’t a direct remake from their previous title. It still fell short of the seven Perk roster of the original Killing Floor, a discrepancy that has now been balanced out with Return of the Patriarch’s Gunslinger Perk. Incinerate ‘N Detonate addressed this by adding the hard hitting Demolitionist and crowd clearing Firebug. On release, my only problem with the game was that there were only four Perks spread across six players, making for some awkward overlap. Oh thank God, I was beginning to worry that “Black Forest” wasn’t a legit Killing Floor 2 map! Then I found the derailed future cyber train with trapped mutants, and all was right in the world. ![]() With that in mind, it’s not surprising that one of the best things you can do to ensure a good credit score is to show that you can manage your debts and finances efficiently.Paying bills on time is a huge part of this, and therefore, it’s one thing you should strive to do on a regular basis.

Essentially, the impact of different types of activities (late payments, available credit, credit utilization, etc) can change from company to company. Similar to the way rating scales vary from company to company, evaluative methods can also vary depending on the firm or bureau that is reviewing your credit profile. Most banks have a higher standard and will only prequalify you with a score of 160 or above. If you have a FICO SBSS score of 140 or above, you can pre-qualify for an SBA 7(a) loan.
