Quarion Technology Presenting at the Retail Industry Leaders Association’s Workplace Safety Committee Meeting in Deerfield, Illinois

0

After being selected as one of only nineteen technology firms to join RILA’s RTech Startup Network, Evansville based Quarion Technology has been asked to present to the Retail Safety executives at their fall annual committee meeting being held this year at the Walgreens Corporate headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois.

With real-time location safety functionality and the ability to deliver improved operational efficiency, Evansville’s Quarion Technology won over management of the Retail Industry Leaders Association to be selected as one of nineteen companies nationwide to join their RTech Startup Network. The RTech Startup Network, an initiative of RILA’s Innovation Center (RIC), was created to generate a stronger connection between the startup ecosystem and retail senior executives. With Quarion’s real-time location technology, RILA not possesses a technology partner capable of delivering innovative technology for its member’s supply chains, specifically in warehousing and distribution center operation and management. This aligns with the RIC’s emphasis on finding technology that meets member’s needs in asset protection, compliance, supply chain, and workforce protection.

Safety Technology “Speed Dating” at the annual meeting of the RILA Workplace Safety Committee.

As a member of the RTech Startup Network, Quarion is invited to present to the annual meeting of the RILA Workplace Safety Committee being held at the headquarters of Walgreens in Deerfield, Illinois on October 29 and 30. This year’s presentation will take the form of a

series of seven minutes “speed dating” style presentations to groups composed of the thirty-five safety executives who represent familiar retailers such as Target, Meijer, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, Walgreens, Advanced Auto Parts and many others. This format allows each of the Startup Network participants the opportunity to interact one-on-one with safety executives in order to match their technology and services with the operational needs of the retailers. Many past participants have gone on to receive technology development and implementation contracts following the annual Workplace Safety Committee event.

From State Rep. Wendy McNamara (from 10/18/19 News Update) 
 

 Celebrations like Halloween and fall festivals are fun for the whole family, especially children, who can dress up in costumes, enjoy parties and eat their favorite treats.

Check out these tips to ensure everyone enjoys a safe and spooktacular Halloween:
  • Walk on sidewalks or paths where possible;
  • Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers;
  • Carry glow sticks or flashlights to be seen;
  • Use face paint instead of masks to avoid obstructed vision;
  • Choose a costume that properly fits to avoid trips and falls;
  • Trick or Treat during local designated hours; and
  • Eat only factory wrapped treats and avoid consuming homemade treats from strangers.

Eagles Fall In tough OT Game, 71-68

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team forced the University of Evansville to overtime but fell 71-68 Monday evening at the Ford Center. USI concludes the exhibition schedule Friday when it visits Purdue University for a 7 p.m. (CDT) game.

The defense was the name of the game for the first five minutes of the game as Evansville was only able to generate a 3-2 lead. The Aces would extend the lead to as many as eight points, 23-15, with 7:57 left in the opening half when the Eagles made their run.

USI cut the deficit to two, 24-22, on a lay-up by junior forward Josh Price, but Evansville responded by re-extending the margin to six points at 28-22. The Eagles scored seven of the last nine points to send the game into halftime tied, 29-29, when junior forward Clayton Hughes slammed home a dunk as time expired in the opening 20 minutes.

Hughes led the Eagles during the first half with nine points on four-of-six from the field, while USI, as a team, shot 40.6 percent from the field (13-32).

In the second half, USI posted its first lead of the game, 33-32, before Evansville used an 8-0 run to grab a seven-point advantage, 40-33, by the first media timeout. The Eagles erased the deficit once more with an 11-4 run to knot the game at 44-44 when Price converted a layup with 9:12 to play.

The Eagles would grab the lead again at 5:17, 54-53, on a steal and a layup by freshman guard/forward Chance Coyle. Both teams would trade leads as the game came down to the wire in regulation. USI junior forward Emmanuel Little tied the game at 59-59 with a pair of free throws before Evansville’s Artur Labinowicz missed three free throws with 0.5 seconds left to force extra time.

USI grabbed a quick two-point lead in overtime, 61-59, on junior forward Justin Carpenter’s layup. The Aces, however, surged with six quick points to retake the lead, 65-61. The Eagles rallied once more, 65-65, on a pair of jumpers by Little with 2:09 left.

The 65-65 tie would be the last one for the Eagles as the Aces scored six of the final nine points to earn the exhibition victory.

Individually, Little led USI with a double-double, scoring 20 points on six-of-15 from the field and eight-of-11 from the line and grabbing 11 rebounds. Hughes joined Little in double-digits with 11 points, on four-of-seven from the field and three-of-five from the charity stripe.

The Eagles, as a team, shot 42.9 percent from the field (24-56) and tied the Aces on the boards, 41-41.

Following the conclusion of the exhibition schedule Friday at Purdue, the Eagles open the regular season November 8 when they visit Hillsdale College on day one of the G-MAC/GLVC Crossover Classic in Hillsdale, Michigan. USI finishes the first weekend of action on November 9 when it plays Malone University at Hillsdale.

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” October 29, 2019

0
“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.
The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so.

Today’s “Readers Poll’ question is: If the election was held today for City Council Ward Five (5) who would you vote for?

New Robotic-Assisted Hip And Knee Surgery Now Offered At Ascension St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital

0

Ascension St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital is the first hospital in Southern Indiana to offer patients an innovative approach to hip and knee replacements with potential for less pain and faster recovery times

With the goal of helping patients achieve improved mobility and decreased pain during the activities they most enjoy, Ascension St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital recently became the first hospital in Southern Indiana to offer robotic-arm assisted technology for hip and knee replacements – an innovative new approach for the way joint replacements are performed.

While robotic-assisted approaches have been used for quite some time to address hernia repairs and the removal of gall bladders and cancerous tumors, this recent development marks a new application where robotic-arm assisted technology is now being used to help bring relief for patients experiencing hip and knee pain.

Ascension St. Vincent Orthopedic Hospital is now proud to offer the robotic-arm assisted technology as an option to individuals seeking a total hip replacement, total knee replacement, and partial knee replacement.

How does this robotic-arm assisted technology work for hip and knee replacements?

  • Surgeon-controlled system. With this system, the orthopedic surgeon remains in control of the robotic-arm during the entire procedure. A virtual boundary provides tactile resistance to help the surgeon stay within the boundaries defined in the patient’s surgical plan.
  • Tailormade approach for each patient. This robotic-arm assisted system uses patient-specific data from CT scans in advance of an operation to develop a three-dimensional pre-operative plan and tailormade implant alignment and positioning unique to each patient’s anatomy.
  • Detailed feedback for precise results. The system provides detailed, real-time feedback to the surgeon during the operation, which helps to enhance surgical precision.

What are the potential patient benefits of this new robot-assisted approach? Patients may experience the benefits of:

  • Improved surgical outcomes
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Faster recovery
  • Greater precision in alignment and placement of joint implant
  • More “natural” joint movement
  • Improved joint flexibility and implant durability
  • Lower incidence of follow-up surgeries

 

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Writer Eli Saslow Will Speak At The University of Evansville

0

EVANSVILLE, IN (10/28/2019) Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Eli Saslow will speak at the University of Evansville on November 7, at 7:00 p.m., in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway Center. Saslow will discuss his book Rising Out of Hatred, the story of how former white nationalist leader Derek Black changed his heart, mind, and political viewpoints.

The event is free and open to the public and sponsored by the University of Evansville Honors Program, Student Government Association, and the Office of Academic Affairs. The book, Rising Out of Hatred, was the common read for UE’s Honors Program freshmen this year. No RSVP is required for this event.

Derek Black might be termed white nationalist royalty. His father, Don Black, launched Stormfront, the first major white supremacist website; his mother was once married to former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, who was Derek’s godfather and mentor from birth. Derek was an elected politician at 19, with his own daily radio show on which he urged white nationalists to “infiltrate” the American political system to prevent what he termed “white genocide.” But when Derek chose to attend a tiny liberal arts college,
his ideological foundations began to crack.

A testament to the power of education to broaden minds and spark conversations, Rising Out of Hatred immerses us in Derek’s world-as challenging, even uncomfortable, as we might find that-and creates, in the words of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard, “a relationship between reader and story.” At once political and intensely personal, Rising explains how our nation arrived at this polarizing moment and suggests that outspoken communication and active listening have the power to change lives. Yale law professor Amy Chua called Rising Out of Hatred “a must-read for anyone interested in understanding and overcoming hate.”

Salslow is a longtime staff writer for The Washington Post, where he was initially a sportswriter. He has reported for 42 states and six countries. He covered the 2008 presidential campaign as well as President Obama’s life in the White House. Four of his stories have been anthologized in Best American Sports Writing and he is an occasional contributor to ESPN The Magazine.

Saslow won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Explanatory Reporting for a series of stories about food stamps and food insecurity in the United States. Collected into the book American Hunger, his stories were praised as “unsettling and nuanced…forcing readers to grapple with issues of poverty and dependency.” Saslow was also named one of three finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing in 2013, 2016 and 2017. His stories in The Washington Post have been recognized with George Pol Award, a PEN Literary Award, a James Beard Award, and other honors.

Census Bureau Launches Nationwide Recruitment Campaign

October 28, 2019    Posted by 

By Brynna Sentel
TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—The United States Census Bureau has begun gearing up for the 2020 Census by launching a nationwide recruitment campaign to fill about 500,000 temporary jobs.

The bureau has hosted nearly 3,500 hiring events across the country in order to provide information about census jobs and to answer any questions applicants may have. The positions include recruiting assistants, office staff or supervisory staff that need to be filled.

In order to be eligible for a census job, applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a valid social security number, be a U.S. citizen, have a valid email address, be registered with the selective service system, or have a qualifying exemption, be able to pass a criminal background check, and commit to complete training.

Applications can be found online and include assessment questions about education, work, and other experience. Jobs, which pay from $13.50 to $30 an hour, depending on location, will begin in the spring of 2020.

The selection process begins in January, with paid training occurring in March and April. The actual counting of those who did not return their questionnaires begins in May and continues through early July.

These jobs aren’t the only measure the bureau is taking to ensure a complete count on April 1. The information has been sent out to help census takers know who they need to count.

In the simplest form, census takers should count anyone who lives in and regularly sleeps in their home as of April 1, 2020.

All children should be counted in the home they are living in or will be living in, including newborns still in the hospital. This also includes foster children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, children of friends or anyone who lives in the residence at the time of the survey.
