Despite their stated desire to realize savings from streamlining the various components associated with the print buying process, it’s been my experience over the years, that many print managers neglect to do some of the easy things that can add up to significant cost savings annually. We all know these things, but we don’t always do them. Below are a few tips for saving money on print jobs, which might be old hat to some, but vital to remember.

1.) Check invoices line-by-line—especially when starting out with a subcontractor. If she knows you’re checking, this will cut down on un-ordered extras, duplications, and so on. ($500-1,000 saved with each invoice with a long-time vendor)

2.) Develop a check-off sheet to track jobs. This sheet matches invoices against orders, Olympus Mju 820 so that you pay only for what you ordered. It’s simply too easy to forget the details.

3.) Know when to go out to bid. For large-scale, repeat work

Connecting Through Reincarnation?

Columbus, Ben Franklin and Abraham Lincoln utilizing the same spirit?

In a recent speaking engagement, it was requested that I share my thoughts on the subject of reincarnation or more specifically if I felt that we have ‘past lives’.

“Could we have lived as another person within an earthly physical body many years ago?”

Why do we feel as though we have actually lived in a particular place or setting, but yet never have physically set foot in a particular place or setting? Why do we feel as though we personally know someone that lived many years mls real estate listings ago, yet have no connection to this person?

The definition of reincarnation is “a rebirth of a soul in a new human body” (Webster’s Dictionary). The definition is a comparison to overhauling a motor in an automobile.

“So could we not be placed in a new body many years later and follow another earthly plan?”

Preventing Baldness

Learning Management Systems

All of us should Казино be familiar with what’s happening with learning management systems (LMS). As organizations move away from a training mindset to a learning and performance culture, LMS will play a central role.

Golf - Beginner Basics

If you don’t play golf, chances are, you know someone who does and perhaps you’d like to join them on that surrealistically pristine grass. Or, maybe you need to learn how to swing those clubs well enough to make some business deals on the course without embarrassing yourself.

The World Golf Association estimates that as many as one in five Americans over the age of 12 plays golf and although close to 80 percent of golfers are men, the women’s ranks are growing. Membership in the Executive Women’s Golf Association has increased from 28 in 1991 to more than 18,000 today.

By leaving the cart at the clubhouse, you can significantly improve your health while having fun. Studies show that golf (minus the cart) improves cardiovascular fitness, balance, endurance, blood glucose and cholesterol levels, and lowers body fat and overall weight. However, it isn’t an easy game to learn.

Get Oriented

Coatings on Cutting Tools

Metal Cutting Tools Get a New “Coat”

Men (and women) have been cutting metal in machine shops since the late 19th century. They started with crude ideas and methods which have progressed to the current “high tech” technologies of today. The constant during these progressive years has been the cutting tool itself. The actual product that contacts the raw metal, cuts and removes chips from the raw stock, creates the finished work piece. Cutting Tools have evolved over the years from high carbon steel, to high speed steel, to cobalt, to carbide, and for specific applications, diamond and ceramics.

In the late 1970’s a company named Balzers started applying a very thin film to cutting tools, thus improving their overall life, in some cases, by 400%. This process is called “surface treatment” or “tool coating” and is used widely in today’s machine shops and manufacturing facilities.

There are several processes used to apply surface treatments, but the (2) main types used for cutting tools are PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) and these are readily available from special coating facilities located throughout the world. My goal with this article is to share with the reader some common PVD and CVD choices, and reasons to utilize each.

The right surface treatment on cutting tools can increase tool life, decrease cycle time and enhance surface finishes. However, choosing the right coating can seem overwhelming at best. Each one has some distinct advantages and disadvantages depending on your individual set of machining in the machining process.

Coatings have several characteristics to be aware of:

Microhardness HV
Abrasion Resistance
Friction Coefficient
Max Service Temperature

Hardness
A high surface hardness from your coating is one of the best ways to increase tool life. Coating hardness is measured in units called HV, (Hardness Vickers). TiN is the start point with a hardness of about 2300 HV, followed by TiCN at 3000 HV, TiALN at 3500 HV and AlTiN ringing in at about 4000HV. Tools coated with these coating ZANUSSI ZCG554NX1 would work best in ferrous and non ferrous materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steels and aerospace materials like Inconel and the like. With a surface hardness near 10,000 Vickers, CVD diamond coatings
