While these measurements may be effective ways to identify the level of awareness that an EAP has within a clients employee p opulation, they dont truly address the impact that the EAP had on the individuals who used the program.New research by CuraLinc Healthcare, a leading provider of employee assistance programs, suggests that EAP models with the proper construct and focus can facilitate meaningful and lasting behavior change that leads to a decrease in absenteeism and an increase in productivity. The study, Outcomes and Impact Maximizing the Utility of Employee Assistance Programs, also shows that an EAP has the ability to improve the health of employees who present with depression and alcohol abuse.Using a proprietary assessment and follow-up process to measure baselines and outcomes from EAP participants, the CuraLinc study uncovered a number of outstanding results that would be explored in the session.These results came from an analysis of over 1,900 EAP cases between January 1 and December 31, 2013.Presented bySean FogartyPresident, CuralLinc HealthcareJohn KamilisVice President, LCPC, CEAP, DCC, C uraLinc HealthcareAnne MortonVice President of Client Services, CuraLinc Healthcare

Report 85% of Baby Boomers plan to work into their 70s (and even 80s)

Report 85% of Baby Boomers plan to work into their 70s (and even 80s)Report 85% of Baby Boomers plan to work into their 70s (and even 80s)Theres no doubt about it many Baby Boomers simply arent ready to retire. Either they dont have enough money saved up yet, or they simply arent ready to leave the working world behind.Deloitte Insights took a look at what this means for the workforce, which will now absorb five generations of workers. Some organizations will be mora prepared than others for people working well past retirement age. Deloitte examined who our oldest workers are, what they need, what drives them, as well as how employers can create jobs that utilize the valuable set of skills they bring to the workplace.The current volume and rapid increase of people remaining well past traditional retirement age is unprecedented, according to the report. By 2024, 1 in 4 U.S. workers will be 55 or older, a major increase in mature workers.Eight-five percent of the Baby Boomer population plans to work until their 70s and even 80s, according to the U.S. Senates 2017 Special Committee on Aging report, Americas Aging Workforce.While finances are a very real concern for Boomers, there are many older workers creating second careers, or working bridge jobs, simply because they value working and staying connected to the wider world. In a Deloitte survey of 5,000 U.S. workers ages 55-64, making an impact scored higher than money in the category of what motivated them to work hard at their job, with 52% choosing making an impact, and 42% choosing monetary rewards. An additional 42% chose having a flexible work schedule.Pushing past negativesThere are negative misconceptions around older workers that must be dealt with. One persistent idea is that Boomers are standing in the way of younger talent moving up in an organization. In Deloittes2018Global Human Capital Trendsreport, 15 percent of respondents believed that older employees were an impediment to rising talent.However, focusing on older workers very real, positive attributes can cancel out the negative messages.Older workers tend to be more engaged, and engagement has been shown to increase with age. This makes them more valuable than Millennials in that category, who tend to have low engagement levels. Their long work experience means that their work product is generally better than their younger counterparts. They also have better social skills and good organizational citizenship showing up to work on time, listening, displaying a positive attitude, etc.Deloitte described six personas that make up the over-60 workplace, based on their primary motive for working.Bridge worker (25-30%) Part-time with a new employer. The bridge workers motivation is usually financial. This group represents the largest percentage of older workers.Alumni worker (20%) Someone who comes out of retirement, or comes back to the company part-time as a mentor. This type of worker may need flexible hours, but still wants t o do meaningful work.Tenured worker (15-20%) Also called phased retirement, this worker often wants to leave something behind at their organization, and pass down knowledge to others, and retire at their own pace.Gig worker (5-7%) Gig workers are most often motivated by flexibility and find jobs through freelancing platforms.Encore worker (9-12%) Doing volunteer work or civic service as a second career, the work is the reward in itself.Self-employment (9-12%) The self-employed are often either continuing an existing business, or chasing the dream of making something from nothing and the satisfaction of owning something.For these workers and others like them, Deloitte suggests that employers use mature workers as mentors for younger workers, design phased retirement plans to allow workers to retire flexibly and intentionally, and find a way to re-skill older workers, like the apprenticeship model.

How to get back into exercising regularly after a long break

How to get back into exercising regularly after a long break How to get back into exercising regularly after a long break Even the most committed fitness fans find that life sometimes gets in the way of  athletic greatness. A change in location, circumstances, or your body can all force a break in  the routine  you worked so hard to lay out. And when you are ready,  coming back  to something you used to be able to do with ease can feel more emotionally daunting than the first time you tried it. Here’s how to get yourself mentally and physically back in the game.1. Set reasonable expectationsExpecting yourself to instantly hit your previous level is a bad idea for your body  and  your morale. “Trying to go all-out your first session back in the gym is a recipe for injury and frustration, so avoid that temptation,” advises  Greg Pignataro, a personal trainer with Grindset Fitness who specializes in strength and conditioning. “When trying to get back into the swing of things, start at a level that’s no more difficult than a four or five out of 10. Starting at this manageable level will help preve nt you from feeling overwhelmed. Slowly and consistently ramp up the challenge over your next few weeks. Do this, and you’ll be back at your old level of performance - or beyond it - before you know it.”Pignataro should know: He suffered what he calls “a freak soccer injury” that left him unable to play soccer or work out for six months. “I coped by focusing on what I could do pain-free, which was mainly hip mobility work, core strengthening, and glute strengthening,” he remembers. “I spent a few minutes performing those activities nearly every day for about seven months.” This hard work eventually helped him ultimately lift more than he did before the injury, and go back to playing soccer. “I fully understand people’s frustrations when life’s unexpected circumstances force them to stop working out for a while,” Pignataro adds. “But as I’ve seen firsthand, setbacks don’t mean you have to give up!”2. Go slowYou don’t even have to do the same kind o f exercise you were doing before, especially if it was high intensity. “Consistently doing anything physical and/or simply going to the gym can be a fantastic ‘restarting point,’” Pignataro encourages. “Once you’ve turned physical activity back into a habit, feel free to set more challenging goals. However, cut yourself a break at the beginning by aiming to make your goal completely controllable: Work out a certain number of times per week, regardless of what it is you do.”For example, if you used to be a runner but got out of the habit, try walking first. “You don’t need to go all out, just break a sweat and maybe breathe a little hard,” advises  Meghan Stevenson, a certified running coach with the Road Runners of America and founder of  Your Best Run, an encouraging coaching website. “I would recommend doing 20 minutes to start. You can go outside to do this walking or run-walking - I suggest one-minute intervals of each - or you can go to the gym and do it on a machine. Be sure to stretch! After a week or two of that, you can start to extend the time or intensity, and even start lifting weights or doing bodyweight strength exercises.” It’s not how fast you’re going, it’s the fact that you  are  going.3. Remember why you used to enjoy itLet’s talk about the biggest off-putting thing about going back to exercise: You know how much it hurts! Memories of burning muscles, breathlessness, and soreness for days can be a major obstacle when it comes to forcing yourself back into the habit when you could just, well, not. “Most often that’s because running is hard more often than it feels good,” admits Stevenson. “But when running feels good, it feels REALLY good!” She and Pignataro point to these holdups as another excellent reason to be careful when setting yourself challenges in your new routines.“One of the primary principles of training is ‘progressive overload,’” Pignataro explains. “This basically means tha t our bodies won’t change unless we challenge them, but the challenge must be gradual and manageable.” In other words, yes, exercise is supposed to be harder than not exercising - but it’s most effective when the goals you’re trying to achieve are manageable enough that you won’t be put off from even trying. If you go too hard too soon, you’ll likely drop out (or possibly re-injure yourself), whereas setting small goals will eventually lead you to something bigger. “Aiming to increase the amount of weight you can successfully lift for a given exercise by five pounds a week, for instance, may not seem like much, but over the course of months to a year, it makes an enormous difference,” Pignataro says.4. Knowing you can quit and come back will make you healthierA lot of athletes worry that taking a break means losing fitness they’ve built up, but sometimes having to stop is inevitable. Knowing that you can pause your routine and come back to it will ultimately make you a better athlete and a healthier person. Stevenson has personal experience here: In 2017 she had to drop out of the Big Sur marathon after a serious respiratory infection knocked her out for over two weeks of peak training. “I was upset to miss the race, but more upset that I essentially had to start over from scratch,” she says. “My speed and fitness came back within a couple of weeks, but I definitely had to relax my expectations and allow my body to heal.”Reluctance to give your body the break it sometimes needs can be a sign that you need to reassess your true motivation for working out. “I think a lot of women are concerned that we’re going to instantly gain weight the moment we stop exercising or if we don’t work out super hard, and neither of those beliefs is true,” Stevenson assures us. “We need to be more attentive to our bodies and the messages they’re trying to tell us. A day, a week, or even a month off isn’t the end of the world. We can come ba ck from all of that better than before, but we need to take a longer-term approach to our health. Slowly losing weight and slowly gaining fitness over time is the most sustainable way for us to be healthy and, ultimately, to be happy.”5. Keep tryingWe saved the best news for last: Regaining fitness is easier than finding it in the first place! “Our brains code the movement patterns necessary for success in activities [as we learn them] and store them for future use,” Pignataro explains. “It’s similar to how you don’t need to completely relearn how to ride a bike after months or years of not going anywhere near one. Your body will remember how to do all activities it had previously been capable of performing. It may take a few sessions to ‘shake the dust off,’ but it’s possible to return to a previous level of proficiency fairly rapidly.” It’s going to be slow at first, but with time, determination, and some achievable goals, you’ll be back on track - or even further ahead - than you were before your well-deserved break.This article was originally published on Brit + Co.

10 Employees Who Should Ask For A Pay Raise Today

10 Employees Who Should Ask For A Pay Raise Today 10 Employees Who Should Ask For A Pay Raise Today Outdoor barbecues, jet skis and boogie boards, tanning by the pool, vacations to exotic beaches  - some of the best activities that summer has to offer. And this summer, Americans should add one more activity to the must-do list: salary negotiations. Yes, that’s correct. According to the   Glassdoor Local Pay Reports , now is the perfect time to as for a raise for some of America’s key careers. The annual median base pay in the United States grew 2.1 percent since last year to $51,159. However, there are a handful of jobs in which  pay has increased the most (more than 2x faster the national average pay growth of 2.1%) since last year . At the top of the list of occupations that saw the biggest pay gains since 2016? Recruiters . The U.S. is near full employment which means that to fill open roles, recruiters have to be much more strategic and skilled to poach talent from other companies. Gone are the days when there were so many unemployed people that recruiters could easily find and place talent. Now, skilled recruiters who know how to score the best talent are in high demand by companies nationwide. “Great recruiters know how to find and entice the right candidates for open positions, it is something of an art. Having an eye for screening candidates and good judgment about who will or will not work for a position is becoming an increasingly valuable skill in a tight labor market,” says Glassdoor chief economist Dr. Andrew Chamberlain. Being in high demand means that it’s the perfect time to renegotiate your salary, recruiters. Capitalize on the big year-over-year pay growth, and go to Know Your Worth to get a customized  salary estimate based on your title, company, location and experience.

About The Military Criminal History Moral Waivers

About The Military Criminal History Moral Waivers About The Military Criminal History Moral Waivers Criminal history (moral) waivers are decided on a case by case basis  and depend on several individual factors. Depending upon the needs of the military, moral waivers are either easier to obtain or impossible. In the end it comes down to the number of candidates needed and the number of candidates getting approved to join the military who do not need a waiver. No two cases are the same.?? Each of the services have criminal history standards that determine which offenses (or combination of offenses) are disqualifying for enlistment: ArmyAir ForceNavyMarine Corps If you fail to meet the above listed standards, you would need a moral waiver in order to join the military. Moral Waivers If you need a waiver, that means you are ineligible to join the military. The waiver is the process of you asking the service to make an exception in your particular case. The recruiter is the first step. Only a military recruiter can initiate a moral waiver request. Keep in mind this is the recruiters decision, not yours. There is no right to have a moral waiver processed. If the recruiter doesnt think there is a good chance of approval, he/she doesnt have to waste time by submitting one on your behalf.? Finding a recruiter willing to work with you is typically the issue. Most people give up after the first NO response from a recruiter, but there have been many successful waivers passed because a recruiter was willing to work with a candidate who was mature, respectful, and persistent with a never give up attitude. These characteristics can go a long way to getting a recruiter to work on your behalf up the chain of command. One primary consideration is the current recruiting needs of the service branch. If they are doing well meeting their recruiting numbers, the chances of waiver consideration/approval go down. If the service is struggling to meet their recruiting needs, the chances of waiver consideration/approval goes up. The Army has the reputation of approving the most moral waivers. The Air Force and Coast Guard approve the fewest. The Navy and Marine Corps fall somewhere in between. However, thats not always the case. There have been times, during extremely good recruiting periods, where the Army wont consider any applicant who needs a moral waiver, at all.? During times of downsizing of the military, not being at war, and when the civilian economy slow, the need of fewer recruits meets receiving more applications - this is the formula for fewer waivers getting approved. However, the opposite situation will improve the chances of waiver approval. Another important factor is how attractive of an applicant you are to the service. Generally, those with high ASVAB AFQT scores and/or a high school diploma/college credits have a higher chance of favorable waiver consideration than a candidate who scores low on the ASVAB, and/or has a GED. Other factors include the seriousness of the criminal offense(s), how old you were when it happened, and how much time has passed since then. There are some categories where I feel safe to say are virtually never considered for waivers: Adult felonies. The services almost never (Im tempted to say never) consider waivers for felony convictions that happened as an adult.Juvenile felonies that involved violence.Offenses involving the sale or transfer of illegal drugs.Sex offenses.Domestic violence that falls under the Lautenberg Amendment. The 1996 Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it unlawful for anyone who has been convicted of a misdemeanor of domestic violence to possess firearms. If you cant carry a firearm, youre not worth very much to the military. The waiver process is very subjective. More serious offenses require a higher level of approval in the recruiting chain-of-command than less serious offenses. However, regardless, a human being (usually a commanding officer) is going to make the final decision, and humans are usually more subjective than they are objective. For example, lets say your offense was burglary, and the final approval authority some colonel had his house robbed. Do you think hes going to look kindly on a burglary waiver? Appeals If your waiver is disapproved, there is no appeal process. Several people have asked me about writing their congressman or senator, and you can certainly do so. But, in my opinion, its a waste of time when it comes to disapproval of waivers. Congressional inquiries can be beneficial if the military does something wrong (against the law or against regulations), but the military does not have to approve (or even consider) your waiver. If your congress-critter does make an inquiry, the military is simply going to say, we looked into it, and decided not to approve/consider the waiver, and that will be the end of it. One thing you can do is to check with a different service branch. Waiver decisions are only valid for the branch who made it. In other words, if the Air Force disapproved your moral waiver request, the Navy still might approve it.

Despite popular belief, this meal should actually be biggest of the day

Despite popular belief, this meal should actually be biggest of the day Despite popular belief, this meal should actually be biggest of the day A recent preliminary week-long endocrinology  study set to premiere at the Endocrine Society’s Annual meeting this Saturday in New Orleans, explores the correlation eating later shares with a larger body mass index and body fat.Adnin Zaman, of The University of Colorado School of Medicine and colleagues, analyzed a group of individuals for the study, 90% of which were women with an average age of about 36.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!The study began by introducing a trial that limited the hours in which individuals were allowed to consume calories.Each participant was given a little electronic device to strap to their thighs that monitored their activity and sedentary period. They were also equipped with an Actiwatch, which examines sleep and wake patterns. The individuals were also tasked with uploading pictures of their meals on an app called Meat Logger.  All parti cipants received an average of seven hours of sleep and consumed calories over an eleven hour period, with most of the latest photo entries coming in around 8 pm.The research concluded that individuals that ate later were associated with higher weight gain and greater body mass index. Although the endocrinology study focused primarily on women the researchers believe the data could easily apply to men.In fact, this development adds to research that uncovered similar conclusions. Experts from Brigham University tested the well-observed theory through an experiment of their own on a group of young men.They tracked participants for two weeks with a control period. During the two weeks, the young men were not allowed to consume calories between 7 pm and 6 am.In addition to losing weight during the experiment and gaining weight during the control period (the period of time wherein individuals went back to their normal diets and eating times), the results found participants consumed 238 f ewer calories when they adhered to the time/eating restrictions provided by the researchers of the study.To be clear, the endocrinologists that motioned the theory, set to be presented later this week, did not specify a particular time that individuals wishing to lose weight should curb their eating.While the researchers behind the Brigham study tested 7 pm as a cut-off time, the data links the unhealthy habits that accompany snacking after dinner rather than the time itself.   But as we know the foods we consume after dinner are rarely composed of healthy options.Why does late night snacking come with so much weight gain?A paper published  in February in the journal Current Biology  further expounded upon how poor sleep cycles promote unhealthy eating habits.  We simply use less energy to digest food as the day goes on, so that instead of burning calories we more readily convert them into fat.Lona Sandon Ph.D. additionally occasions hormonal changes associated with times of day to influence weight gain.On mass, if you stay within your recommended calorie intake, it’s possible to maintain a healthy weight if you’re a nocturnal snacker. Eating later just tends to put individuals at risk for over-eating-and over-eating particularly unhealthy foods at that.Sandon suggests we eat a bigger lunch to combat late night cravings, saying,  â€œMaking the lunch meal the largest meal of the day, with at least a little something for breakfast, has worked for some of my clients to be able to cut back at night or be satisfied with a light dinner.”Her recommendation doesn’t stand alone. Writer Kelly Burch made lunch the biggest meal of the day for a month and reported her findings in a piece published by Prevention.com.Burch found her self eating less, experiencing fewer crashes and getting better sleep as a direct result of the change. The results were so promising Burch intends to make it a staple to her dietary routine, explaining,“Eating a bigger meal in the midd le of the day just felt healthier than having a heaping plate of food a few hours before bed. That combined with the benefits to my work productivity and evening routine means that eating a larger lunch and lighter dinner is definitely a habit I will keep,” she said.You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

What Your Chatty Co-workers Wants You to Know -The Muse

What Your Chatty Co-workers Wants You to Know -The Muse What Your Chatty Co-workers Wants You to Know You can hear his voice all the way from the elevator bay three floors below your office. And you know that based on your previous history with this person that he’ll be stopping by your desk at least 35 times this afternoon to chat you up about the latest in reality television, the shirt he just bought, and a cocktail he “discovered” last night. This chatty co-worker means well, and you know it. After all, he is just trying to be friendly. Except you’re just trying to get a few things done before the entire day flies by. As much as this guy likes to talk, there are a few things he won’t say aloud that he’ll want you know about him. I know because I used to be him- and here’s what I could’ve told all my co-workers- before I got the office chatterbox reputation. 1. We’re Really Excited to Talk to You Because We Enjoy Your Company I’m sure that plenty of my former colleagues would tell you that I could talk until I’m blue in the face. But here’s the thing- I’ve also worked with people who would say, “Rich? That guy only spoke when he needed to get by me.” The truth is that if I’m talking to you, it’s because I actually like you. Here’s a fun fact: Some of my closest friends are people I’ve worked with at some point or another. And I sometimes need the reminder that even though we are friends, when we’re at the office, I need to be a little bit more in work mode. 2. You Can Tell Us to Go Away I know- it can seem like an impossible task to get the office talker to let you get back to what you’re working on sometimes. And trust me, I’ve been the one who’s made it difficult for someone else to end a friendly conversation in the office kitchen. But because I’ve been “that guy,” I’m sure of one thing: If you really need to get back to doing something, don’t be afraid to say (nicely) that you have to step away because you have a lot to get done before the end of the day. Unless the person is nothing but a big bag of wind, the odds are that he will totally understand. In fact, if you find a nice way to let the person down, you might also be doing her a favor. After all, she probably has a long to-do list of her own waiting for her. 3. Sometimes We Keep Talking Because We’re Trying to Impress You This is one of the hardest confessions I’ll make. Sometimes I would get caught up in the fact that I worked with some really incredible people. And because those people were smart, talented, and incredibly nice to hang out with, I wanted to make sure that I was pulling my weight in the conversation. The need to do that leads people like me to be overly nice chatty or extra ambitious in trying to prove that we know what we’re doing. And ultimately, that means our gears spin in endless circles until everyone is exhausted and looking for an excuse to do anything but talk to us. And as annoyed as you probably are by this, we all wish you knew how agonizing this was for the people-pleaser in all of us. It would be easy to look at someone with a big mouth at the office and think they’re in love with the sound of their own voice. But there are very real challenges to being a talker, especially when it’s not part of your job. And on behalf of that person everywhere, I hope that knowing why it’s not easy for us either will help you have a little more tolerance for those times when we simply cannot stop talking about the dessert we had last night.

Researcher Focus - Advanced Materials Silica Aerogels

Researcher Focus - Advanced Materials Silica Aerogels Researcher Focus - Advanced Materials Silica Aerogels Researcher Focus: Advanced Materials Interview conducted by Paul Glanville Kashif Nawaz, a Research Assistant at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign talks about Silica Aerogels and Metallic Foams for Humidity Control in Energy-Efficient Buildings > Learn more about this research through the 2013 ASME Congress Proceedings: Effect of Catalyst Used in the Sol-Gel Process on the Microstructure and Adsorption/Desorption Performance of Silica Aerogels. Tell us about your research on silica aerogels The idea is to use the silica aerogels as desiccant for dehumidification applications. There are a number of desiccants available and silica aerogels are one of them. Silica aerogels have been in the industry and they are using them for insulators, because they are really bad conductors of heat transfer. They are using the cryogenic doors and there are some other applications for these materials. But nobody has really looked at the manufacturing process. This is in fact one part of my research, and what we have done here is to look at the recipe to find out, what are the different ingredients and whats their role in determining the final microstructure of the aerogel. There are three main ingredients; a catalyst, a solvent, and then a precipitator. We conducted a study to see the affect of these three different ingredients. It turned out that the catalyst is probably the most important one, it affects the structure a lot. Normally we use acid catalyst or basic catalysts, and I used a variety of catalysts. In fact, I made an aerogel sample of about 72 aerogel samples using different recipes, but it turned out that when I was preparing the catalyst the microstructure varied from very small, highly porous structure to relatively large pores. Then because we are interested in using them for the dehumidification application, its important to know what the mass transfer characteristics of these materials are. In order to determine the diffusion coefficients we came up with an instrument and automated method. You have to expose your sample to a certain humidity and then you have to wait until the equilibrium is reached. But when you use the dynamic reabsorption apparatus, which we used, you can actually see the complete process within a few days. And then you can essentially use some kind of modeling to come up with the diffusion coefficient. For all different types of samples we determined the diffusion coefficient using the dynamic reabsorption technique, and it turned out that the different silica aerogels prepared by different catalysts they have different diffusion coefficients, and sometimes it was a difference of order of magnitude. It shows that essentially if you really want to use the silica aerogels for a dehumidification application, as a desiccant, you need to use the right recipe. You need to have the right kind of ingredients. This paper is essentially determining the effective diffusion coefficients for silica aerogels and somehow relating it to the recipe which you are using to manufacture them. Essentially the next step of this research was coating the silica aerogels on the metal foams. Previously we conducted a study to determine empirical performance of the metal foams as a heat exchanger. I have some research experience using those as burners. Well, they are really interesting materials and we got really promising results. In fact, in comparison to the state-of-the-art heat exchanger design - when you use a metal form and you compare the performance you can get up to 150, 200 percent increase in the heat transfer rate with a slight, mild increase in pressure drop, but essentially you can vary the geometry and you can get the desired performance. The idea of combining these two research programs was to come up with a device which consists of aerogel coated metal foams, and then you can use the device as a mass exchanger, to absorb the moisture. These kinds of devices which will be really compact, and we have been working on some kind of prototype. We have already conducted some modeling of aerogel coated metal forms. They can replace some of the desiccants used for the dehumidification applications, and essentially you will be saving a lot in terms of volume, and the efficiency of mass transfer will be really high. To let you know why we have chosen the metal foams as a substrate for these silica aerogels, they are a very low thermal conductor - they are good insulators. So the metal foams they have a very large surface area to volume ratio. It can go up to 900 to 2,800 meters square per meter cubed depending upon what kind of porosity of the metal foam you are using. They are available in standard, like five pores per inch, 10 pores per inch, 20 pores per inch and 40 pores per inch. When you have such a large surface area essentially you can have a very thin layer of silica aerogel on the metal foam, 200 microns or 300 microns. The effect of the bad insulator, or being a bad conductor, that effect is diminished when you have a very thin layer. And when you have the substrate - another reason for using the substrate is you basically want to take over the heat of absorption by the coolant flowing through the tubes of the mass exchanger. When you have a very thin layer essentially you can take away the heat of absorption through the coolant flowing through the tubes of the mass exchanger, and when you want to desorb - get rid of the humidity, you can provide the hot fluid on the tube side and it will essentially provide the heat of desorption, it will remove the moisture. Essentially its a cycle, its a cyclic process. More like frosting and defrosting in a heat exchanger, you know heat pumps, where you have about one hour of frosting and then you can have a cycle of defrosting for about 15 minutes. And the other reason for which we think that this will work is the diffusion coefficient of absorption is that we found that the heat of the diffusion coefficient under absorption is different than desorption. In fact, when you are desorbing the diffusion coefficient is approximately two times higher than absorption, which happened because of the microstructure change. And this is really good because essentially for having a larger desorption diffusion coefficient over desorption you can get rid of the moisture which was absorbed on the silica aerogel rather quickly. If you have a device which has a certain type of metal foam, and you have a 100 micron layer of silica aerogel, your absorption time for the 90 percent saturation would be about 45 to 50 minutes. And then because of the better desorption coefficient, mass diffusion coefficient, you can get rid of all that absorbed humidity within 5 to 10 minutes. Its more like a frosting/defrosting process, but essentially the idea is that you can have your dehumidifying device really compact, and it has the potential to replace some of the existing technologies. Do you have a sense for how this technology, aerogel onto a metal foam or just on its own, is going to be utilized in a dehumidification system or something different than that? When working as a member of the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Center we are more interested in the practical side of research. We had this issue, where I had a discussion with many of the sponsors, from industry, who are sponsoring this project, they questioned how suitable, or in terms of economics, how viable this idea is, to have this kind of device. Right now there are some issues, mainly because of the cost of the metal foams, because they are really expensive. Actually, there are only a few manufacturers in the US, or even in the world, but there are only two or three major manufacturers. They are more like a monopoly so they can always sell at their own price. But once the use of this kind of material is more common, essentially, were talking about 10 years from now, I am quite sure that the price for the metal foam will go down and we will be able to sort of beat the criteria in terms of economics as well. But right now for specialized applications, the wait is really a critical issue. These things are definitely a better option than the existing technologies. Im quite hopeful that this technology has some potential. Your field of research relates to energy and thats one of ASMEs three strategic areas in the HVAC/humidity control side of things. Are there ways in which you feel that you tailored your work towards ASMEs goals or is it just a happy coincidence? Well essentially - my project is related to energy efficiency, and we are building devices that can work to save energy. We want to perform the same sort of work at the minimum cost in terms of energy fuel. I am also kind of interested in renewable energy. Im quite near the completion of my Masters in nuclear engineering. Reading conference papers and attending ASME conferences, has helped me to tailor my ideas. If I want to do some kind of contribution in the renewable area, where should I go? But, I think my work relates to both. Im also looking at the broader prospect of when you have really the big renewable energy projects such as wind energy or solar energy. What has it been like becoming the engineer that you are right now? Well to be honest after my high school, I thought that when you are essentially in a specific area, lets say if you are an electrical engineer, or you are a mechanical engineer, your area of focus will be just limited to that specific divisions. But it turned out that things can go much beyond that. And when you talk about mechanical engineering and ASME is not like somehow exclusive to mechanical engineers. Essentially, ASME has helped me to realize that in order to come up with some kind of fabrication you need to know more than the mechanical engineering, hard-core mechanical engineering. On my own research, well its essentially a dehumidifying application. I started the analysis of these devices, which is essentially a role of mechanical engineering, but I also did some material characterization. When I was preparing the samples, mine was more like a chemist, you know I was dealing with different catalysts. And when I was studying the material imagery of these materials it was more like a material scientist. What sort of advice would you give to early career engineers in terms of using ASME, or other avenues for mentoring, or finding ways to get involved? You have to essentially get involved. Working on your own [independently] theres a good chance that you might get stuck, or you might develop a habit of going in a specific direction. But when you interact with people and you go to the organizations like ASME, ASHRAE, you broaden your knowledge about the research. You can get a broader view of the different technical skills, the people involved, thats a very important. There are different ways to tackle the same problem. You can actually talk to the people, you let them know about your research, you learn about their research, you get a broader idea of the research even if youre talking about the same specific area. Research Assistant, Kashif Nawaz has published papers on The ASME Digital Collection, including the following from the 2013 ASME Congress Proceedings (IMECE2013): Effect of Catalyst Used in the Sol-Gel Process on the Microstructure and Adsorption/Desorption Performance of Silica Aerogels.

How to Handle a Coffee Interview

How to Handle a Coffee Interview How to Handle a Coffee Interview An informal meeting over a cup of coffee has replaced  first-round interviews  for  some employers, especially those who are recruiting prospects for employment opportunities rather than interviewing for a specific position.  Whats the best way to handle an invitation for coffee from a hiring manager? What should you wear? What do you need to bring? Who pays? Whats the next step if the meeting goes well? Heres the scoop on  informal interviews  held at a coffee shop or restaurant. Tips for Handling a Coffee Interview Hiring managers and potential employers often begin with this less formal approach in the early stages of the  interviewing process. The meeting is set up more like an informational conversation so that both the employer and applicant can get familiar without creating a more serious interview. Even though its only a cup of coffee, it could be a stepping stone to a new job, so its important to take the time to prepare. Recruiters host these sessions at a coffee shop instead of the office for several reasons. For the recruiter, its a way to meet a potential employee on a more casual basis to determine if there could be a role for the person at the company. For the candidate, its a way to learn more about a company without having to participate in a formal interview, at least at the start. Do Some Research Before Your Meeting It is important to prepare for your coffee meeting just like you would for an interview in a more formal setting. Researching the company and its mission, services, and recent achievements will prepare you to engage fully in a dialogue. Furthermore, you should be ready to talk about yourself and what you’re looking for in your career, and how you could add value to the company. This is your time to make a great first impression so be ready to explain how you can help the company. What to Do Before You Interview Confirm the exact location, including the cross streets or corner. Theres a Starbucks on nearly every street in New York City, and the same holds true for many other national and international chains.   For example, confirm that youre meeting at the XYZ diner on  the South East  corner of Main Street and 10th Avenue. Make sure you get the interviewers cell phone number, so you can call or text them in case youre delayed. Also,  be sure to ask how you will recognize the person youre meeting with and let them know what you look like, or what youll be wearing. What to Wear Because of the nature of the meeting, it’s not necessary to dress in formal business attire. Typically,  business casual wear is appropriate, so consider the meeting place before you purchase a new suit. Still, you don’t want to be sloppy â€" your clothes should be neat and clean. What to Bring It’s always advantageous to have several copies of your resume and a business card if you have one. Also, bring a  list of references. You will likely want to take notes, so it never hurts to bring a pen and a pad of paper to write on.   Ordering Your Coffee If you get there ahead of the recruiter, you can either wait for them to order or go ahead and grab a drink yourself. However, the recruiter will typically pick up the tab. When you’re taken out by a recruiter for a coffee interview, there’s no need to worry about paying. It’s better not to order food during this kind of meeting. While the interview itself is more casual, you will be conversing back and forth with the hiring manager and food will just be a distraction. The less there is to spill, the better. Focus on the Interview and Interviewer It may be noisy in a public place due to distractions such as loud customers, piped in music, and waitstaff coming and going. Try to focus on the interviewer as best you can. Keep the interview focused, as well, by staying on topic. Even if you order a  light snack to go with your coffee or tea, dont think about the food, think about what you need to say to make a good impression. Another common distraction is one that you might bring upon yourself, your cell phone. A ringing cell phone or pinging text message will distract you as well as the interviewer. Be sure to put your phone on mute or vibrate and tuck it away in your purse, bag or pocket, before you sit down to the interview. Ask Questions Less formal interviews and coffee meetings allow the candidate the opportunity to ask many questions about potential job openings, information about the company, and even career advice. Learning about the types of positions and the company’s employees will give you an advantage in understanding how you can be a unique asset to their work. It will also give you a better picture of whether or not you would be happy working at that organization. The Next Step At the end of the meeting, exchanging contact information is a  great way to expand your network and to reach out to thank the recruiter for taking the time to speak with you. This will keep you fresh in the interviewer’s mind. You can also reiterate your interest in moving forward in the hiring process. Even if you’re not interested in the specified position or the company, it’s a good idea to send a quick  thank you email  or note and to  connect on social media outlets such as  LinkedIn. While you may not be interested in the company, having a new connection can lead you to other opportunities that may be exactly what you are looking for. A Quick Review Heres more information on what you can expect when you’re  invited for an  informal interview, including how to get ready, what to bring and wear, questions to ask, and how to follow up.
