About UMGC “Outstanding Adjunct Faculty” designation:

Charged by President Miyares in Spring 2018 to develop a mechanism to “recognize UMGC’s most outstanding faculty,” they have developed a rigorous selection process to reward excellence in the classroom in alignment with the “3 Rs” academic affairs has identified as the most important faculty teaching behaviours. These are Relevancy, Responsiveness, and Relationships.

The criteria for the inaugural award of this designation were derived from three questions on the student end-of-course evaluation survey, all of which a faculty member can control directly. Using these questions, they computed an average index score based on a three-year average (calendar years 2016, 2017, and 2018) to ensure a broad basis for identifying outstanding adjunct faculty. For this first year, they recognize those faculty members with an index score in the top 10% of scores (out of a possible total score of 5.0).

The “Outstanding Adjunct Faculty” designation confers the following benefits:

• Priority offering of an academic year 2019-2020 annual agreement (this offer was issued to you in Spring 2019)
• Priority staffing, now managed via the Faculty Profile Management System (FPMS) that launched in Spring 2019
• Recognition via UMGC channels including Engage and the annual Global Faculty Appreciation and Awards Week
• Additional one-time pay of $1,000

MINNEAPOLIS—Diversified Plastics, Inc. (DPI), a custom plastic-injection molder and digital manufacturer of high-precision thermoplastic components, was named winner of the 2019 Plastics News Excellence in Employee Relations Award. According to Plastic News, the Excellence in Employee Relations Award is given to companies that excel in this individual category of the Processor of the Year Award. Winners were announced February 26 at the annual Plastic News Executive Forum in Naples, Fla.

Citing their industry-wide reputation as an employee-first company, Diversified Plastics, Inc. CEO Kevin Hogan said, “I am privileged to receive this award on behalf of all DPI's outstanding employee owners. DPI has a rich history of employee excellence. We were founded 42 years ago by a group of 13 employees, known as the baker's dozen. As we look toward the future, we honor our legacy, and make sure there's always a plan for increasing value for the employee owners."

Employee ownership began with founder and former CEO James "Jim" Dow who met with potential buyers of DPI in 2011. Concerned that the company culture and progress would be negatively impacted in the hands of new ownership, Dow created the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for DPI. 

"We all thought the company was going to be sold," said Janel Rosine, sales engineer and customer service representative at DPI. "And we worried about our jobs. Finding out that Jim sold the company to us gave us all a stake in the company."

"The fact that DPI is an ESOP means a great deal," said Gary LaTraille, director of quality assurance at DPI, "and this is also a great place to work.” There's a jovial attitude, and everybody loves their job."

The employee-owners have a lot to love about their company. DPI was recently a finalist in the Association for Corporate Growth's BOLD Awards and received the 2015 Company of the Year Award from the Minnesota/Dakota Chapter of the ESOP Association. 

DPI realized exceptional revenue growth in 2019. In addition, the ESOP stock price has climbed 72 percent over three years, with revenue per employee up 12.4 percent. The average tenure of DPI employees is an impressive 12 years. Focused on rapid, profitable growth, DPI is an industry-leading producer in a wide variety of markets, including medical devices, water filtration, industrial components and more. 

Employee relations and revenue are not the only areas where the company excels. In 2018, DPI added Acceleration Station™ services, which utilize Carbon® Digital Light Synthesis™ (DLS™) additive manufacturing. This technology is 100 times faster than traditional additive methods. The Carbon DLS process produces consistent isotropic mechanical properties, creating parts that are durable for end-use applications. The result is a rapid go-to-market strategy, enabling customer success while maintaining precision specification, performance and safety standards. DPI was the first plastic-injection molder in the region offering Carbon additive technology. 

As its first strategic acquisition, DPI purchased Pacific Plastics Injection Molding (PPIM) of Vista, Calif., which is one of the geographic hubs for the medical device industry. The synergies between the two companies have benefited customers and employees.

Hanover, MA, March 18, 2020 -- Experts continue to learn about the COVID-19 every day. Data tells us that transmission of coronavirus occurs much more commonly through respiratory droplets than through objects or materials that are likely to carry infection, such as clothes, utensils, and furniture. Still, people want to take the precaution of cleaning clothes and bed linens to be certain. But can you be 100 percent sure washing your clothes and bed linens at home can safely accomplish that?

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) advises that washing clothes with detergent is sufficient to control viruses. Though if you want to sanitize your clothing, laundering in hot water, 160ºF and with chlorine bleach is the most effective method. Similarly, the CDC also advises that the dry cleaning process, which includes cleaning and pressing, is effective on most viruses.

“The higher the temperature the more effectively you can sanitize clothing and bedding,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of co-author of Entrepreneurial Insanity in the Dry Cleaning Business. “Most home machines can accomplish that temperature. But you want to be careful that you’re not damaging your clothing by washing the wrong items together at that temperature or using too much bleach or detergent. Our dry cleaning and wet cleaning processes are proven commodities at safely cleaning at that high of a temperature.”

Lapels dry cleaning process features environmentally friendly GreenEarth®, the dry cleaning industry’s only non-toxic cleaning alternative. GreenEarth dry cleaning solvent has the highest flash point of any of the alternative solvents (170F) on the market. The GreenEarth dry cleaning process allows clothes to be dried at the highest drying temperature, 158F, which is equivalent to 70C.

Lapels Dry Cleaning’s wet cleaning services clean clothes at temperatures exceeding the recommended 160 F.

From an environmental standpoint, Lapels uses the world’s ONLY 100 percent environmentally non-toxic dry cleaning process along with 100 percent wet cleaning that offers a sustainable and hypo allergenic process.

Since a trip to the dry cleaner might not be in line with your social distancing, Lapels Dry Cleaning also offers free pickup and delivery.

“With school and business closings, many people are home and trying to limit trips out of the house to reduce exposure. Our free pickup and delivery service is available at most of our locations so customers can have the peace of mind of knowing their clothes are clean and safe while sticking to the recommended guidelines during the current pandemic,” said Dubois.

Added Dubois, “We are also opening our 24 HR Drop box service to all customers, encouraging the use of our Drive Thru service in locations that offer this service and will be reducing hours in most stores to work with our employees to assist in managing the changes within their households”.

Utilizing the GreenEarth solvent and the latest technology in equipment, Lapels Dry Cleaning’s environmentally-friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes.

Phoenix, AZ, March 18, 2020 -- The Journal of Patient Safety recently published a study which concluded that as many as 440,000 people die each year from preventable medical errors in hospitals. Tens of thousands also die from preventable mistakes outside hospitals, such as deaths from missed diagnoses or because of injuries from medications.

A recent Johns Hopkins study claims more than 250,000 people in the U.S. die every year from medical errors. Other reports claim the numbers to be as high as 440,000.

Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Advocates are fighting back, pushing for greater legislation for patient safety.

LaTribuna Christian Publishing's CEO Chaplain Paul Vescio is quoted saying, “The need for additional screening of people who are visiting and working in America's healthcare industry is vital in saving lives. If the people at the front desk would just ask a few simple questions before allowing entry into a healthcare setting thousands of lives per year would be saved. Here are some of the questions needed to be asked, Do you have the flu? Are you sick even with a cold? And, Do you have any infectious illnesses? If so they are asked to leave if not seeking treatment and or given a mask and hand sanitizer. Each day there are thousands of visitors who come and go from hospitals, care centers, nursing homes, medical rehabs etc. Visitors which include medical staff, maintenance workers, EMTs, family and friends, delivery personal and administrative staff etc. If all of these people were properly screened at the front door many lives would be spared each year. Many Nursing homes, care centers, medical rehabs, and other healthcare providers do not have the same screenings that hospitals do and sadly most hospitals do a very poor job of screening visitors and employees for illnesses."

LaTribuna Christian Publishing recently visited Core Medical Center in Phoenix Az and this sign was in the front lobby.

Visitation Restrictions
- Visitors 12 years and under are not able to enter the hospital in an effort to help reduce the spread of the flu and other respiratory illnesses.

Visitors Of All Ages
Please do not visit the hospital if you are experiencing any of these symptoms or have been exposed to anyone with them.
- Fever over 100% Cough
- Runny nose Sore Throat
- Diarrhea Rash
- Please wash your hands before and after visiting.
- Thank You for helping to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

Chaplain Paul Vescio was also quoted saying, “Signs like this one have got to be placed in all healthcare settings across the nation as soon as possible in-order to lower the numbers of preventable medical mistakes and save lives. All visitors, staff, maintenance, and medical personal have got to be properly screened even to the point of scanning their temperature in some cases before they are allowed entry. All those who are sick or have a fever are to be refused entry. The Bible teaches us that we are to treat others as we would want to be treated and to love thy neighbor as thy self and to be good Samaritans towards each other. I can think of no better way in applying these important Godly words of wisdom then to stand up and fight in making American healthcare more safe, compassionate, efficient, affordable and loving for us all. Amen.”

Chaplain Paul is also quoted saying, “Mr. President, please put these important healthcare precautions in place in-order to lower the numbers of preventable medical mistakes in American healthcare and save lives. Mr. President with the coronavirus now at America's doorstep it is imperative that these added precautionary procedures be implemented.”

LaTribuna Christian Publishing is dedicated to fighting for a more safe, fair, affordable. efficient and compassionate healthcare system in America. For more information please visit our web-sites at www.miraclesofkingman.com and www.latribunachristianpublishing316.com
