In females, high estrogen may cause breast tenderness, changes in mental health, and other symptoms. In males, higher than typical levels of estrogen may contribute to infertility and other health conditions.
Your body’s hormones are like a seesaw. When they’re perfectly balanced, your body works as it should. But when they’re unbalanced, you may begin experiencing problems.
Estrogen is known as the “female” hormone. Testosterone is known as the “male” hormone. Although each hormone is identified with a specific sex, both are found in women and men. On average, women have higher levels of estrogen and men have more testosterone.
In women, estrogen helps initiate sexual development. Along with another female sex hormone known as progesterone, it also regulates a woman’s menstrual cycle and affects her entire reproductive system. In premenopausal women, estrogen and progesterone levels vary from one stage of the menstrual cycle to another.
In men, estrogen also plays an important role in sexual function.
High levels of estrogen can develop naturally, but too much estrogen can also result from taking certain medications. For example, estrogen replacement therapy, a popular treatment for symptoms of menopause, may cause estrogen to reach problematic levels.
Your body may also develop low testosterone or low progesterone levels, which can upset your hormonal balance. If you have estrogen levels that are abnormally high relative to your progesterone levels, it’s known as estrogen dominance.
When your body’s estrogen and testosterone levels aren’t balanced, you may begin developing certain symptoms. In women, potential symptoms include:
- swelling and tenderness in your breasts
- fibrocystic lumps in your breasts
- decreased sex drive
- irregular menstrual periods
- increased symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- mood swings
- anxiety and panic attacks
- weight gain
- hair loss
- cold hands or feet
- trouble sleeping
- sleepiness or fatigue
- memory problems
Although it’s called the female hormone, a man’s body also makes estrogen. A healthy balance of estrogen and testosterone is important for sexual growth and development. When these hormones become imbalanced, your sexual development and function may be affected.
Symptoms of high estrogen in men include:
- Infertility. Estrogen is partly responsible for creating healthy sperm. When estrogen levels are high, sperm levels may fall and lead to fertility issues.
- Gynecomastia. Estrogen may stimulate breast tissue growth. Men with too much estrogen may develop gynecomastia, a condition which leads to larger breasts.
- Erectile dysfunction (ED). Men with high levels of estrogen may have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection.
If your doctor suspects that you might have high estrogen, they’ll likely order a blood test to check your hormone levels. A trained professional will collect a sample of your blood to be tested in a laboratory. The results will indicate if your estrogen levels are too low or too high. Blood estrogen levels are measured in pictograms per milliliter (pg/mL).
There are three types of estrogen: estradiol, estriol, and estrone. Estradiol is the primary female sex hormone. Estriol and estrone are minor female sex hormones. Estriol is nearly undetectable in women who aren’t pregnant.
Normal estrogen levels in women
According to Mayo Medical Laboratories, the following estrone and estradiol levels are considered normal for women:
|Prepubescent female||Undetectable–29 pg/mL||Undetectable–20 pg/ml|
|Pubescent female||10–200 pg/mL||Undetectable–350 pg/ml|
|Premenopausal adult female||17–200 pg/mL||15–350 pg/ml|
|Postmenopausal adult female||7–40 pg/mL||<10 pg/ml|
In premenopausal girls and women, estradiol levels vary widely throughout the menstrual cycle.
Normal estrogen levels in men
According to Mayo Medical Laboratories, the following estrone and estradiol levels are considered normal for men:
|Prepubescent male||Undetectable–16 pg/ml||Undetectable–13 pg/ml|
|Pubescent male||Undetectable–60 pg/ml||Undetectable–40 pg/ml|
|Adult male||10–60 pg/ml||10–40 pg/ml|
To manage high estrogen or estrogen dominance, your doctor might prescribe medications, recommend surgery, or encourage you to adjust your diet.
If you develop high estrogen while undergoing hormone therapy, your doctor might change your hormone therapy plan. This might help your body achieve a healthier hormone balance.
If you have a type of cancer that’s sensitive to estrogen, high estrogen levels can make the cancer worse. Your doctor might prescribe medications to block cancer cells from binding to estrogen. For example, they might prescribe tamoxifen.
Alternatively, they might prescribe an aromatase inhibitor. This type of medication stops the enzyme aromatase from converting androgens into estrogen. This class of drug includes:
- anastrozole (Arimidex)
- exemestane (Aromasin)
- letrozole (Femara)
In other cases, they might prescribe a medication that stops your ovaries from producing estrogen. For example, they might prescribe:
- goserelin (Zoladex)
- leuprolide (Lupron)
If you have a type of cancer that’s sensitive to estrogen, your doctor might also recommend an oophorectomy. This is a type of surgery used to remove ovaries. Since ovaries produce most of the estrogen in women’s bodies, removing them lowers estrogen levels. This causes what is known as surgical menopause.
Your doctor might also recommend oophorectomy if you’re at very high risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. You may be at very high risk if one or more of the following are true:
- You have a strong family history of breast cancer or ovarian cancer.
- You test positive for a specific mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
- You test positive for a specific mutation in other genes associated with cancer risk.
According to the
Your doctor can also use radiation therapy to make your ovaries inactive.
To help lower your estrogen levels, your doctor might recommend changes to your eating habits. For example, they might encourage you to eat a low-fat and high-fiber diet. They might also encourage you to lose excess weight.
High levels of estrogen can put you at a higher risk of some other conditions. For example, elevated estrogen levels are a risk factor for breast cancer and ovarian cancer. According to the
High levels of estrogen may put you at higher risk of blood clots and stroke.
Estrogen dominance may also increase your chances of thyroid dysfunction. This can cause symptoms such as fatigue and weight changes.
If you’re experiencing unusual symptoms, make an appointment to see your doctor. They can help you learn if these symptoms are caused by high estrogen. It’s important to treat high estrogen and any underlying cause. Treatment can help reduce your symptoms and your risk of complications.

The Bay opens quietly in Whitefish Bay
The Bay restaurant, 342 E. Silver Spring Dr., will open its doors to the public with a limited menu beginning this evening.
Inhabiting the space formerly occupied by El Guapo, The Bay evokes a retro vibe, with walls decorated with classic photos of Whitefish Bay and a menu that hearkens back to the good old days.
Executive Chef Erik Hansen, most recently of Distil, has produced a straight-forward menu featuring salmon, andouille-encrusted cod and hanger steak and fries. Sandwiches include burgers made with beef ground at a nearby Sendik's store, buffalo chicken, blue cheese and roast beef and a roast veggie sandwich. The menu will also include appetizers, soups, salads and desserts.
The bar menu will feature bottled beers and six craft cocktails at its launch, but may expand in the coming months.
The restaurant, owned by James McMahon and Paul Berlin, a team formerly involved with Sabor Brazilian Churrascaria, aims to tune in on customer feedback to further develop the focus of the menu in the weeks ahead. Eventually, the restaurant will offer lunch and weekend brunch.

Bringing together employment, training and school for Indigenous students
The Indigenous School-based Traineeship Program provides opportunities for students to get additional support to complete their schooling and gain valuable experience and qualifications through employment and training.
Indigenous mentors work with local schools to talk with Indigenous students in years 10-12 who might be looking for a different pathway to employment. Mentors work with the student, their school and family, to engage them in training at the Certificate III level and to commence them with a supportive employer.
Students attend school four days per week and spend one day in paid employment. This enables them to work towards a vocational certificate while completing their schooling.
Through the combined support of their school, employer and mentors, the Indigenous students have a positive network to help them balance their priorities and achieve success.
Empowering young people
Skills for employment
Students gain a combination of workplace soft skills and vocational experience to put straight in to practice.
Opening more opportunities
Participants are connected with employment or further study opportunities following Year 12 graduation.
Participants often experience higher levels of motivation and organisation and stay in school longer.
Students experience a full network of support bringing together employers, schools, parents, workplace champions and Indigenous mentors.

Having poor credit can be very stressful and harmful to your health.
You need to take a different outlook on how your money is being spent and focus on the important things in life.
Having a low credit score puts limits on your finances and needs to be fixed.
Below I have outlined a series of steps that will get you started in repairing your credit and get you back on your feet.
First, you will need to request a credit report from all 3 Credit Bureaus. This can be done online by visiting http://annualcreditreport.com or by calling 877-322-8228. You are entitled to all 3 credit reports for free every year.
Review each credit report carefully and dispute any errors you find by contacting the creditor that reported the error. If any disputes are found to be resulting from outstanding debts try to repay them as quickly as possible. Any legit errors that are found, ask the creditor if they can contact the bureau on your behalf to fix the error. More info in this video:
If there is any suspicion of fraud taking place, like accounts opened that you have not opened, call the credit bureau at once to have a 90-day fraud alert place on your credit report.
It’s only necessary to call 1 credit bureau as they will notify the other 2 for you. If the fraud activity is serious, you should contact the local authorities to file a police report. With a police report, you can have a 7-year fraud alert placed on your credit report.
If your debts are overwhelming, then you will need to contact a nonprofit credit counseling organization to work for a debt consolidation plan. A counselor will help you by consolidating your debts and contacting debtors on your behalf for reducing your finance charges.
Close your credit accounts and cancel credit cards.
If you need to raise money to pay off your debts, you may need to liquidate some of your assets.
Until you are caught up on your bills, you will need to cut back to the bare essentials to maintain a normal life.
Collaborate with your credit counselor to repay all your debts. Pay the necessary bills like rent and utilities and maintain a savings and checking account.
Once you have repaid all your debts, you can request a new credit card to start building good credit. Don’t charge what you don’t have and pay off the balance of the credit card every month to maintain a good credit rating.
You can improve your credit rating by maintaining a good payment record. Keeping the credit inquiries to a minimum may also help your credit rating whenever you request a credit card.…

The lawsuit alleged that SIG Sauer knew the advertisements for the pistol’s safety features were false.
A federal judge has ruled in favor of arms manufacturer SIG Sauer in a lawsuit filed by a man who accidentally shot himself in the foot with the company’s P320 handgun.
U.S. Judge Landia McCafferty said last week that plaintiff Kyle Guai failed to prove that SIG Sauer had knowledge of selling the pistol in an unreasonably dangerous condition in December 2016. experience,” claimed he was pulling out a holster with a pistol in it “when the pistol fired and hit him in the right thigh, and he didn’t even touch the trigger,” according to a US military news report.
Guai said he bought the pistol after seeing an advertisement from SIG Sauer promising “Safety without compromise” and boasting that the P320 pistol “won’t fire unless you want it to”, which he claimed the company knew was false.
As evidence, Guy presented a body camera video of an alleged P320 pistol misfire, taken by Roscommon, Michigan Sheriff’s Officer Michael Richardson in February 2016. his holstered P320 pistol suddenly fires as he tries to get out of the car.
SMITH & WESSON RESPONSE POLITICS DEMONIZING GUNS MANUFACTURERS, SECOND AMENDMENT
Although the incident took place months before Guai bought his gun, McCafferty ruled that he was unable to prove that the company knew about the incident or saw the video prior to December 2016.
“The strongest evidence presented in court that SIG Sauer knew or should have known that the P320 could potentially fire without deliberately pulling the trigger is the Roscommon incident,” McCafferty wrote in the ruling. “However, no evidence was presented in court that SIG Sauer knew about the Roscommon incident at the relevant time: in December 2016, when Guai bought his P320 relying on advertising.”
“The evidence only established that SIG Sauer had seen Roscommon’s video by January 10, 2019, more than three years after Guey bought his weapons,” McCafferty continued.
The decision comes amid growing calls to hold gun manufacturers accountable for incidents involving their firearms, including the ability to sue companies if their products are used to carry out mass shootings.
WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS ARE HEARING AT A HEARING EXPLORING THEIR ROLES IN MASS SHOOTINGS
Gun manufacturers have some legal protection under the Lawful Trade in Arms Protection Act (PLCAA), which was passed in 2005, but they can still be the target of lawsuits. While the PLCAA protects gun manufacturers from legal liability for crimes committed with their products, it does not provide them with full protection in cases such as gun defects.
President Biden lamented the legal protections given to arms manufacturers since taking office, arguing that such protection is unique in the industry.

“Imagine if we had a liability — this is the only industry in America that is exempt from prosecution by the public,” Biden said last year. “Only one.”

Easy Mexican Potatoes
Crispy roasted Mexican Potatoes with cheese are a fun twist on a classic oven roasted potato. These potatoes are tossed in tons of spices and dipped in cheese. Mexican potatoes are a delicious side dish for breakfast or dinner and are gluten free and vegetarian.
Servings: 4 people
- 24 ounces baby yellow potatoes halved & pat dried*
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika*
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 ounce (⅓ cup) finely grated parmesan reggiano*
- jalapeño lime crema for dipping
- crumbled queso fresco for topping
- fresh oregano & green onions for garnish
- chopped cilantro
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, oil, and spices. Toss well.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dip each potato cut side down in the parmesan cheese.
Arrange the potatoes cut side down so they are not touching.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the bottom is crispy.
Baby Yellow Potatoes: These are smaller than standard yukon gold or red potatoes. If you cannot find them, use largely diced (about 1 inch cubes) red, gold, or russet potatoes.
Smoked Paprika: Be sure to use smoked paprika. It has a much more intense smokiness than regular paprika.
Parmesan Reggiano: You can find this in the specialty cheese section/deli department at the grocery store. It is often sold in chunks wrapped in plastic unrefrigerated.
How do you store leftover potatoes? Store leftover potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven at 400 degrees. Cover them with foil for the first 10-12 minutes. Finish uncovered for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
Dry the potatoes. After you wash the potatoes, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess water. Water turns into steam in the oven and prevents the potatoes from roasting.
The potatoes are not spicy. These potatoes have a very mild amount of heat. American chili powder is not very spicy.

Caproni Campini Ca.183bis
The CA 183 was not all that complicated though performance expectations seems optimistic.
Engine: 1x Alfa-Romeo "Tifone"(Daimler-Benz DB-605) making 1,250 hp driving a six blade contrarotating propellor.
1x FIAT A.30 radial piston engine making 700 hp driving the Campini engine
Weight: Loaded 16.538 lb
Maximum Speed: 460 mph / 520 mph with "Thermojet"
Range: 1,242 miles
Armament: 4x 20 mm cannons in the wings and 1x 30 mm cannon between the cylinder banks of the engine.
The Italians already had knowledge of the German jets through their Rome-Berlin pact and worked together at Riva del Garda (Re- named the Hermann Goering Institute) on advanced jet designs that included a Turboproietti Jet Round Bomb (Italian V-1 type unmanned weapon) and a disc aircraft with two slung turbojets, various rim intakes for another internal engine, a domed canopy, and two canted tailfins. This was only discovered recently after the designer died and the plans were discovered in his apt. Apparently, this is probably what Mussolini referred to as the "Piastra di Volo" (Flying Plate) design.
The Germans for their part provided Italy with DB engines that improved their fighter and bomber designs of Fiat, Macchi, and Savoia- Marchetti. Jumos were on order for the Re.2007 and Piaggio's chief designer D'Ascanio requested information on the BMW 003 for a radical jet helicopter he was designing.
But the war ended for Italy and a lot of documents went missing or destroyed. D-Ascanio postwar experimented with a turbine helicopter, but is better known as the inventor of the Vespa moto-scooter! Most of the other manufacturers either went under or became merged in jet manufacture.

We’re thrilled to announce that the Handibot® Smart Power Tool Developer Edition, first introduced by ShopBot Tools in a 2013 Kickstarter campaign, is now for sale at the Handibot.com online store.
The Handibot Smart Power Tool Developer Edition is a portable, digitally-controlled power tool for cutting, drilling, carving, and many other machining operations. You can cut woods, plastics, composite materials and soft metals with the power and precision of larger CNC tools.
David Bryan, Handibot’s Head of Development, said, “Last Fall we put 150 Kickstarter Handibots into the hands of makers, DIY’ers, educators, and small manufacturers who are at work on all kinds of projects. Now we’re hugely excited to get the tool out into the larger world.”
Ted Hall, President of ShopBot, noted, “Handibot is really two tools – at least conceptually: It’s a small CNC tool that you can put to work right now on construction jobsites or DIY projects, and it’s also a new kind of “Smart Tool” that in the near future you’ll be able to control with job-oriented apps.” Unlike ‘traditional’ CNC tools that require you to place your material on the tool, you easily bring the Handibot to wherever your material or work is located — the floor, ceiling, walls, etc.
Randy Johnson, ShopBot’s Director of Education, added, “Because of its size, portability, and affordable price ($2,795) the Handibot is useful in classroom settings such as vocational, technical education and STEM programs. It allows for hands-on ‘teaching by making’ — without an investment in larger CNC tools.”
Ready-to-make classroom projects can be found at 100kSchools.org. Here’s a father-and-children weekend design and cutting project where everyone enjoyed some hands-on learning (starring ShopBot’s Head of Production Support, Ryan Patterson, and his daughters…
The Handibot Developer Edition ships with a user-friendly CAD/CAM software suite for PCs or tablets running Windows. This software enables you to go from idea to making tangible objects using your Handibot with relative ease.
The Handibot Team is working on creating a suite of task-specific apps that will allow the tool to be run from multiple platforms and devices such as tablets and smartphones.

Designer and Oru Kayak founder Anton Willis grew up in rural Mendocino County, with easy access to rivers, lakes, and the ocean. In 2008, a move into a small San Francisco apartment forced his fiberglass kayak into storage. Inspired by an article on new advances in the art and science of origami, Willis sketched a few ideas for a folding kayak. Sketches turned into countless paper models, and over 20 full-scale prototypes built with the help of the full-size ShopBot CNC at TechShop SF. After user-testing on dozens of bays, lakes, rivers and oceans, Oru Kayaks are ready to explore the world. Read the full story and see video at our 100kGarages.com blog.

Hi, I’m Ryan Patterson, head of Production Support at ShopBot Tools. One important aspect of our company that I think sets us apart is the way we work with people to customize solutions for their production needs, from helping them to choose the right tools or tools, to assisting them with the configuration of tools to meet their changing needs. I’ll be blogging here on a semi-regular basis to share examples of this — starting with this entry that’s “close to home.” It’s the story of how we made some changes to our production method of Handibot Smart Tools here at ShopBot HQ.
While the Handibot was being designed, the production group had a general idea on how we would produce the product. The prototypes were cut on a PRS Alpha using a large universal vacuum system with a bleeder board. One Handibot was produced using a third sheet of 4×8 material. We thought we would scale this up to fill/nest a full 4×8 sheet of parts. We started cutting the first sheet and the estimated time to finish one sheet was a little over an hour. We were quickly able to see this would not work. A universal vacuum system uses a sheet of MDF as a spoil/bleeder. Over the time of cutting the MDF compressed and affected the depth of cuts. As we started making the final thru-cuts, the vacuum was not holding the parts in place. At this point we had two options, stay with the large format system (4×8 machine) with a gasket vacuum or move to a smaller cell based system (using the ShopBot Desktop machines).
We decided to use the smaller Desktop system with fixtures and a high pressure vacuum system.
With a cutting area of 24×18, we would need four different fixtures to have enough parts to produce one Handibot. Now we had to decide how many desktops we should use. One thought was to use one for each fixture and this is what we did. We later scaled back to using two Desktops, as we found that the cutting was not the bottleneck to producing the Handibots. This scalability was one reason for selecting the Desktop cell based option. As our efficiency down the line increases, we can quickly add another Desktop.
We are currently using two Desktops with four fixtures. The vacuum fixtures use a gasket around the inside of the cut with a high pressure low volume vacuum pump. For this type of vacuum system to work, no thru-cuts can be made inside of the gasketed area. The red lines pictured show the channel for the gasket.
The fixtures were created using VCarve Pro by importing all the parts for a Handibot, then manually moving and rotating the parts around to fit in a 24 x 18 inch cutting area. We used vector editing tools to offset geometry around the thru cuts to create the section for the vacuum. Once the geometry was created, it was offset .25 inches to create a .25 inch wide channel. This channel was cut .18 deep to fit the gasket of .25 x.25. We then added holes for mounting and indexing to the table. After the fixtures were cut we drilled a 1/4″ hole in the edge of the fixture for a 1/4 tube to be added to the gasketed area. Then we drilled a horizontal hole to connect with the edge drilled hole. We then inserted a 1/4″ tube to be connected to the vacuum pump.
Due to the fact we were using two machines with four fixtures, we needed a quick and easy way to index the fixture to be placed in the same spot every time. The index needed to be the same on both machines being used. The first step was to mount a sheet of aluminum 3/8 thick x 24 x 18. The aluminum was then surfaced to insure it to be flat. The next step was to drill and tap indexing holes into the table. We added matching thru holes drilled in to the fixtures. The tapped holes gives us a way to index the fixture and a way to hold the fixture to the table.

Behind the scenes, ShopBot Tools custom-designs and builds ProDesign’s CNC solutions to ensure smooth sailing.
If pictures are indeed worth about a thousand words each, let’s start this journey via a visual trip to Marseilles, where France’s ProDesign 3D customizes designs and builds boats, catamarans and yachts for dozens of leading boatbuilders, and also designs and builds boat-building kits for motorboats and sailboats. Here’s the ProDesign 3D racing team and their boat that they designed and built, entirely milled with their ShopBot CNC routers…
Here are some other finished boating projects from ProDesign 3D…
Johan Hallin, ProDesign’s Manager and Technical Sales Consultant, said, “I think what makes us stand out is, we are well-suited for any type of application and find a specific solution for our customers every time. One of our strengths is that we know well the needs of our customers and have the tools and expertise to realize their vision.”
Founded in 2001, ProDesign 3D has expertise in five main areas: engineering studies, 2D etching / prototyping, 3D volume machining, production of composite parts, and complete yachting maintenance and repair.
The company’s engineering experts will study your project from initial idea through the modeling, use 3D modeling software. They perform functions such as hull and stability studies, calculate structures and strength of materials. At this stage they provide conception, design, modeling, prototyping, and feasability studies.
They will often use 2D milling to begin a physical model of the parts…
ProDesign’s machining center is equipped with three custom-built ShopBot CNC routers so that they can precisely perform volume cutting of various materials such as PVC and polyurethane foams, plastics, woods and other non-metallic materials. Some examples of materials that they make are masts, V-booms, full booms, master hull pilotines, catamaran hulls and beams. Here are some samples of their machining process…

Machining in MDF
Molding for catamaran
Johan noted, “Back in 2001 we built our own table (5.2 ‘ x 19.7′) for a ShopBot CNC router, which they custom-designed for us with a 3-foot Z axis. The tall axis allows us to, among other tasks, to machine 3D foam inserts for catamarans; we also use a 1-foot Z for cutting panels. Sallye and Jamie from Shopbot traveled to France to help us with the assembly and to train our team in the initial operation of the ShopBot tool.”
“We worked 6 years with just this one ShopBot tool. As the demand for our custom services grew, we then bought a ShopBot PRS Alpha (6.5 ‘ x 13′ x 1.6 ‘), continuing to use the first tool for larger pieces. In 2013 we bought a third ShopBot, the PRS Alpha (5′ x 10′ x 1′).”
Johan said, “With our three ShopBot machines we can be very responsive to the demands of our customers, who are always pressed to have their parts quickly!” Learn more about ProDesign’s processes and services at www.prodesign3d.com

The Ninja Standing Desk is just like it sounds — it may well be the world’s first portable and affordable version of the permanently installed workstations you see around office and home businesses around the country.
The “Ninja” behind the Ninja Standing Desk is San Franciscan Dan McDonley, and his product has become a huge hit. It’s designed by Dan here in the U.S., prototyped here, and assembled from parts from here at home. Pretty cool. To help him bring this new product to market, Dan has been making good use of his local San Francisco TechShop with ShopBot and other tools, and he’s also reached out to 100kGarages fabbers as part of his vendor-sourcing. It’s an inspiring start-up manufacturing success — read the full story on the 100kGarages blog.
In the last months of 2013, as Santa’s helpers hurriedly made presents, the elves at Quirky’s headquarters in NYC were hard at work bringing new gift ideas to market. One of them is the Nimbus, a highly customizable 4-dial dashboard that tracks what’s important to you. According to Quirky’s site, you can “personalize each gauge using your mobile device to keep an array of info up-to-date and available at a glance. Nimbus can monitor your commute traffic, weather, email, calendar, social media networks, and more.”
Designed to be made with a plastic housing, Quirky’s product designers were hard at work readying a limited-edition, brushed aluminum Nimbus — and that’s where their ShopBot Buddy, with industrial spindle and 12″ Z-axis came into play.
But hang on, what is Quirky anyway? And how does it work?
Quirky has re-invented the process of bringing new products to market. Rather than taking the “old school” route of expensive market research, new product ideas are submitted by and ranked by the biggest market there is: the Crowd.
People are invited to submit their ideas, anything from half-baked notions on napkin drawings to fully baked ideas, to Quirky’s site for voting by the crowd. The most popular ideas are put into consideration for development into products for market. But participation doesn’t end here. People can get involved voting on the product’s colors, submitting names and more, and at each step of the way participation earns you points that turn into dollars when the product succeeds.
In this short video, Quirky’s Founder and CEO Ben Kaufman describes the lively interactive process of how a product gets chosen to bring to market:
Case-in-point: The Nimbus
That’s the Nimbus, below, balancing on top of the piggy bank.
The originator of the idea is Ryan Pendleton of Grand Rapids, Michigan. A self-proclaimed geek as well as photographer, gamer and journalist, Ryan’s initial inspiration for Nimbus was an app-enabled alarm clock, but it became so much more than that. Ryan saw an opportunity to have a bigger impact on peoples’ daily lives by incorporating diverse streams of information. Thus, Nimbus became a personal dashboard.
Ryan Pendleton, the guy with the idea for the Nimbus. So far he’s earned $35,946, and the Quirky Community (the crowd) has earned $43,005.
Prototyping the Nimbus
According to Quirky Product Designer Richard Ganas, Quirky’s ShopBot Buddy has played a critical role in the development process.
Richard Ganas, Quirky product designer
“We’ve had numerous 3D printers and other digital tools in our production studio for awhile, but our need to mill in aluminum, as well as to work with larger prototypes, has made the ShopBot Buddy invaluable,” says Ganas.
In addition to the plastic-housed version of the Nimbus, Quirky was working on preparing a limited-edition (a thousand or so) run of the Nimbus to be housed in brushed aluminum. Quirky had identified a local vendor to handle the limited run, but to test and refine the design in aluminum required milling work with the ShopBot.
Richard describes how Quirky employs its Shopbot:
“We currently use our ShopBot Buddy for milling in Renshape foam and aluminum. We use the Shopbot primarily for 3D milling, and because we want the ability to prototype larger objects, we chose to have a 12″ Z-axis on the tool. We have also used the Buddy to mill out molds for thermo-forming and casting.”
In the case of the Nimbus, the team first used Solidworks and 3D printing processes to play with different shapes for the product. Further along in the process the production team used the ShopBot and Renshape foam to help them determine the number and type of different tools they’ll need to ultimately produce the consumer product.
As they prepped the limited run in aluminum, the team made use of the ShopBot to help them make decisions regarding the final finish of the product, polished vs. brushed aluminum.
Milling aluminum with Shopbot Buddy
The unique value of the ShopBot to Quirky.
Rich Ganas explained, “Whenever we need to work with a larger product, the ShopBot is a great tool for us. For example, we’re working on a product in the shape of a helmet. For us to 3D-print a prototype would easily take 20 hours, whereas using the ShopBot and Renshape is much quicker. It enabled us to mill a few hundred helmets in foam and get them onto the heads of testers. And again, due to the size of the helmet, the Z-axis did the trick for us. Altogether, the Buddy is a fast, precise prototpying tool for us.”
Rich noted that he came to this tool with little background in CNC, but found he integrated the ShopBot into his process quite quickly. He noted that ShopBot’s forum has been very useful, and with any technical support issues, ShopBot’s team has been very responsive.

Eric Andracke is a High School Teacher at Mahomet-Seymour High School in Mahomet, Illinois. He’s currently in his eighth year of teaching at Mahomet-Seymour, twelfth year as an educator. Eric teaches classes in Construction, Manufacturing, and 3D Animation. He is a graduate of Illinois State University, with degrees in Technology Education and STEM Education. Simon Anderson, currently in his 3rd year at Mahomet-Seymour, teaches Introduction to Technology and Engineering Design.
So what’s this about STEM and football? Mr. Andracke wanted to share his school’s growing commitment to STEM education with the larger community — so a football game was a natural venue for it because the crowds were already there. He explained, “We took our new ShopBot Buddy out to the game to show off what it can do. We took several of the projects out there and had a little show and tell. It’s good for people in the community to see what is taking place inside of our classrooms and that was our main goal. The football plaque idea which I developed is a class project in my other manufacturing course. The students help design, market, and sell a useful product. We chose the football plaque idea this fall and showed it off at the game as well.”
Plaque designed, built and marketed by students in Mr. Andracke’s manufacturing technology program
In a recent interview via email, Eric talked about his experiences integrating ShopBot Tools into his teaching. Eric explained, “I have known about ShopBot Tools for several years. The department has tried to purchase one in the past but never been able to fully secure the funds. Last fall we were able to secure a grant to purchase a large machine. We were able to purchase a 4′x8′ Alpha with spindle with our grant funds. The funds also allowed us to travel to ShopBot’s headquarters in North Carolina for the training.”
As part of their curriculum, students recently worked to build a patio chair, the files for which are found on the 100kSchools.org website.
Patio Chair project and files available for download at 100kSchools.org
The students made some colorful modifications to the chair in order to personalize it for their High School…
SECURING THE FUNDS
Here’s an excerpt from Mr. Andracke’s grant application that helped secure the funds for the large ShopBot Tool:
“Our objective at Mahomet-Seymour High School is to develop, teach, and promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education. Within the industrial technology program, we currently focus on problem solving, engineering design, and technology education. However, we are looking to expand our program to involve and inspire students through STEM education. The integration of the four major STEM aspects of knowledge can help prepare our students for both college and career. Our expanded curriculum also contributes to the national agenda of improving the abilities of America’s youth in science and math.
We plan to use digital fabrication (the continuum from digital design through digital production) as an avenue to explore STEM education at the high school level. To accomplish digital fabrication, we would like to purchase a computer numeric controlled mill called a ShopBot. With the help of this equipment, STEM education will succeed at Mahomet-Seymour High School. In most educational settings, science and math are taught independently from each other. However, STEM bridges that gap with hands-on activities, collaboration, and directive lessons. Our lessons will contain multiple learning objects that address state, national and common core learning standards. Students are also gaining a better understanding of the material since they are able to apply the knowledge to real-life activities.
An example STEM lesson is developed from the process of building a guitar. This lesson can focus on every aspect of STEM. Educational content covers mathematical calculations, science principles and equations, design, part engineering, and digital fabrication. This activity will generate students’ interest in areas of education with which they may not be familiar, furthering the development of STEM education. Engaging students into the content is often the first step into the learning process.”
If you’d like tips for writing your grant applications, you’ll find useful points at the 100kSchools.org resource section. The people at ShopBot Tools also make themselves available to review your grant application and make suggestions to help you boost your case.
BRINGING THE BUDDY ONBOARD
While he waited for the larger machine to arrive, Mr. Andracke became aware of the Autodesk 123D/ ShopBot promotion, Digital Fab Tools for Schools, that ran in early 2013. He applied funds from this promotion to purchase the Shopbot Buddy that had its special debut at the football game. Mr. Andracke said that his students “very quickly started making smaller parts and 3D signs. The students fell in love with the technology and abilities of the machine. Students constantly talk about what they want to make on the machines.”
We asked Mr. Andracke what was the experience like working with ShopBot. He answered, “Everyone is so easy to work with. From sales questions to technical support, they have been there to help. The reason we bought the Buddy was because of the Autodesk promotion, without that assistance we probably would not have been able to get that purchased. I had worked with some metal CNC tools before but no wood-type CNC tools. Our construction/manufacturing lab is home to our larger 4′x8′ machine and the Buddy is in another classroom that my department teacher Simon Anderson uses with his intro to technology students.”
We asked what projects the students were currently working on. “In my manufacturing class the students make an individual woodworking project. I have been working with kids over the last week to develop their projects in Aspire. Yesterday we cut out all of the parts for a student’s entertainment cabinet out of 3/4″ Oak ply. Our other big project right now is to get a guitar designed and built. We have been doing a ton of research on styles and electronics needed. We hope to get one of those done pretty soon, we have the part files ready to go.”
Finally we asked Mr. Andracke about his experience at the training sessions held at ShopBot:
Training at ShopBot Tools in Durham, North Carolina. Training is available in person or online.
“The training was very informative. I loved the fact that we could see where the machines are made and some of the inner workings of the company. I attended the training with the other tech teacher Simon. We both got a ton out of the training. There was a broad range of skill levels, but TJ did an amazing job with the content and delivery of material. Each day seemed to fly by, everyone was super friendly and easy to talk to. One suggestion I had was to offer an additional day for advanced ShopBot skills. More technical stuff related to cutting feeds/speeds, creating 3d with Aspire. TJ has made some great training videos which I have watched but we can always learn more!”

ShopBot Tools was excited to participate at ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX) Nov. 19 -21 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. ABX is one of the largest events for the design and construction industry in the country, and the largest regional conference and tradeshow in New England — a perfect venue for us to introduce the Handibot Smart Power Tool to building design and construction professionals.
The Handibot team demonstrated the tool for builders, architects, interior designers, students as well as commercial and residential product and service providers. We ran two Handibot Smart Tools on the exhibition floor as part of the show’s Innovation Pavilion featuring products and services that are new to the design and building communities.
There were no other tools on display, much less power tools, so our little powerhouse Handibot really did create a buzz – sometimes too much buzz! This bit of noisy theatre drew people in to see perfectly aligning coping molding cuts, tight inlays, interesting puzzle joints and more. One visitor was overheard to say, “This is a woodworker’s dream!”
Handibot Tool cutting custom molding for builders
There was a lot of discussion and idea exchanges during the three day event. Builders and architects added their perspective on what the Handibot Tool could do to improve fabrication and replication on the job site. As one of the most active booths, it’s not surprising that there were impromptu brainstorming sessions about possible apps for the Handibot tool, and people jumping onto the PC to do some sketching and CAD drawing on the fly.
We encouraged our visitors to sign up on Handibot.com and share their ideas for apps (and rate the ones that they find there). The number of app ideas is growing every day and we’re gearing up to start the app development process. If you haven’t shared your app ideas yet, jump in!
Meanwhile we’re eager to put the Handibot Smart Tool in front of other new and relevant audiences over the next few months. Where would you like to see the Handibot Tool in action?


In the pursuit of operational excellence, particularly under the umbrella of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), the choice of performance tracking software becomes crucial. Companies often grapple with a key dilemma: should cost-cutting be a priority when investing in such software? It’s a tightrope walk between affordability and functionality, and getting it right is essential for achieving the desired results in performance management.
Understanding the Role of Performance Tracking Software in TPM
A Tool for Efficiency and Productivity:
Performance tracking software is an integral component of TPM strategies. It helps in monitoring equipment performance, scheduling maintenance, and analyzing data to identify improvement areas. The right software can streamline operations, improve accuracy in data collection, and provide actionable insights for better decision-making.
The Cost Consideration
Budget Constraints vs. Quality Outcomes:
Cost is undeniably a significant factor when choosing performance tracking software. Budget constraints often push companies to consider cheaper options. However, the cheapest solution may not always align with the comprehensive needs of TPM. There’s a delicate balance between finding an affordable option and ensuring it delivers the necessary functionality and reliability.
Evaluating Software Features Against Cost
- Essential Features: Evaluate if the software covers all the essential features needed for effective Total Productive Maintenance implementation, like real-time monitoring, data analytics, and predictive maintenance capabilities.
- Customization and Scalability: Consider if the software can be customized to fit specific needs and whether it’s scalable as the business grows.
- User Experience: A user-friendly interface is crucial for ensuring that employees can efficiently use the software.
- Integration Capabilities: The ability to integrate with other systems and tools used in the organization is a key aspect to consider.
The Risk of Over-Saving
Penny Wise, Pound Foolish:
Cutting costs excessively when choosing performance tracking software can lead to increased expenses in the long run. Inferior quality software may result in frequent downtimes, inaccurate data, and inadequate support, which can impede the TPM process and negatively impact overall equipment efficiency.
Long-Term ROI vs. Short-Term Savings
Investing for Future Gains:
While it’s important to be mindful of the initial investment, focusing on the long-term return on investment (ROI) is crucial. A slightly higher upfront cost can yield significant long-term benefits in terms of reliability, efficiency, and the ability to drive continuous improvement in performance management.
The Impact of Suboptimal Software Choices
Costs Beyond the Price Tag:
Choosing a performance tracking software based solely on price can have far-reaching consequences. Suboptimal software may lead to inefficient maintenance schedules, unaddressed equipment issues, and ultimately, a decrease in the overall life expectancy of machinery. This not only impacts TPM efforts but also affects the bottom line due to increased repair costs and downtime.
Key Factors to Consider Beyond Cost
- Software Reliability and Support: Assess the reliability of the software and the quality of customer support provided. This is critical for troubleshooting and ensuring smooth operation.
- Data Security and Compliance: Ensure the software complies with data security regulations and protects sensitive information, a crucial aspect often overlooked in low-cost solutions.

- Vendor Reputation and Track Record: Research the vendor’s reputation and the feedback from their existing clients. A reputable vendor with a proven track record can provide more assurance of quality and reliability.
Understanding the True ROI
Calculating Beyond the Initial Expense:
To truly understand the ROI, consider factors like time saved in maintenance management, improvement in equipment efficiency, reduction in downtime, and longevity of machinery. These metrics often reveal that investing in quality software can be more economical in the long run.
Customization: Tailoring to Your Needs
Why One-Size-Fits-All Doesn’t Work:
Every organization has unique needs and challenges in implementing TPM. High-quality performance tracking software often offers customization that aligns with specific organizational requirements, a feature typically lacking in cheaper alternatives.
The Technology Edge: Staying Ahead
Embracing Advanced Features:
Modern performance tracking systems offer advanced features like AI-driven analytics, IoT integration, and predictive maintenance. These features can significantly enhance TPM efforts but may not be available in low-cost software solutions. Embracing these technological advancements can provide a competitive edge.
Considering Future Growth and Scalability
Planning for Tomorrow:
It’s important to choose software that can grow with your business. Scalability is a crucial factor, as upgrading to a new system in the future due to growth can be more expensive than investing in a scalable solution from the start.
The Balance of Cost, Quality, and Sustainability
A Holistic Approach:
A sustainable approach involves looking at performance tracking software not just as a tool but as an integral part of your business’s growth and efficiency strategy. This perspective encourages a balance between cost and quality, ensuring that the chosen software supports long-term goals and sustainability.
Conclusion: A Strategic Investment in Performance Management
In conclusion, while cost considerations are important, focusing solely on saving money when choosing performance tracking software can be a myopic strategy. Organizations should aim for a solution that offers a balance of cost, functionality, and scalability, keeping in mind the broader goals of TPM and performance improvement. By investing in the right software, businesses can ensure long-term efficiency, sustainability, and success in their TPM endeavors.
This comprehensive analysis highlights the need for a strategic approach when selecting performance tracking software, emphasizing the importance of considering long-term benefits and overall ROI, rather than just initial cost savings. Making an informed choice in this regard is crucial for the success of TPM initiatives and, by extension, the overall performance and productivity of an organization.

Tracy Richardson hasn't always a writer, but she's always been a reader. Her favorite book growing up was A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine LEngle. In a weird way that book even shaped her life through odd synchronicities. She has a degree in Biology like Mrs. Murry and without realizing it she named her children Alex and Katie after Megs parents! When shes not writing youll find her doing something else creative - painting furniture, knitting sweaters or cooking up something in the kitchen.
"Richardson did a terrific job of portraying this young male, and it really felt like I was inside a teenage boy's head for the entire story. I'd highly recommend this book to any male young adult reader, and all the parents wondering about just WHAT is going on in their child's head. It was a great read." --naimeless.wordpress.com "This story has strong messages of unified spiritualism and green energy. Eric and Renee's star-gazing date was a perfect example of a romantic and sweet alternative to the common." --pageprincess.wordpress.com "This was a really interesting read. What intriqued me the most was the sci-fi connection. The book is all about the Universal Field of energy that surrounds us. Eric participates in research testing and learns that he has a clairvoyant spark within himself." --Dorine White, dorinewhite.blogspot.com "The Field is an interesting YA read that's rather difficult to classify. It's part paranormal, part science. There's a bit of mystery and some romance. [...] I recommend The Field to everyone high school and up that enjoys an interesting and different read. There's something for everyone in this novel: science, sports, angst, and romance." --Kimber Leigh Wheaton, onceuponayabook.blogspot.com "I would recommend this book to YA readers who want something out of the ordinary, who question how the universe works, are interested in science and science fiction and who are open to new ideas." --Tracy Riva, tracyriva.com " The Field is a combination of the real world of soccer and the mystical world of the Universal Energy Field. This is a very imaginative novel." --Alan Caruba, bookviewsbyalancaruba.blogspot.com "Richardson is a worthy heir to Madeleine L'Engle." --Rita Kohn, NUVO "Readers will appreciate the fast-paced, compelling drama. A good choice for people who hope there's more to space than space". -- Kirkus Reviews

Chattin’ with Chesca. She’s a Singer, She’s a Star, She’s a Survivor – She’s a Standout.
Puerto Rican musician Chesca has collaborated with Pitbull and Offset, and is an open book about her life – she’s got thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram. Known for her musical talent and appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, fans may not know this about Chesca: she was in a scary boating accident years ago in which she lost 70 percent of her scalp. It wasn’t physically or emotionally easy to undergo 14 reconstructive surgeries, but Chesca found comfort and support from family, friends, and of course—musica. Her career was temporarily put on hold as she healed and this year she’s eager to get back out there and continue performing live — for herself and her beloved fans.
In this interview, Chesca talks about her favorite songs, what she loves about Puerto Rico, and how a special treatment called Vitruvia helped her heal after her accident.
Tell us about your childhood. Were you always musical and creative?
Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed performing. Both my parents possessed musical talents and it was very present in my life. My dad had a band and my mom was a singer/dancer. They didn’t pursue a professional career in the music industry but they loved performing for fun.
What’s your favorite thing about Puerto Rican culture?
Our culture, like many other Latin cultures, is extremely family-oriented. Family always comes first. I love Puerto Rican food and having beaches nearby, that is my therapy.
How are you healing from the boating accident with the help of Vitruvia? How has Vitruvia helped you get back to doing what you love?
My accident happened many years ago, but it definitely made a mark on my life forever. Losing over 70% of my hair and scalp, I never imagined having beautiful long hair ever again. My hair wouldn’t grow longer than my shoulders and now it’s almost at my booty (hahaha)! Due to my intense dance routines, my neck also had suffered an injury and now thanks to Vitruvia, it’s back to being flexible.
What’s your advice for women who struggle with confidence?
I think all women struggle with confidence, including me. My advice is easier said than done, but we must truly learn to love ourselves. We’re all unique and beautiful in our own skin. Every woman is a queen!
Of all your songs, which one is nearest to your heart–and why?
I have two songs that come to mind: “El Cambio” because it speaks about my past and how I overcame it, and “Soltera” because it empowers women to feel great about themselves and to love themselves with or without a man.
What’s next for you, career-wise?
I am excited to share that I have a lot more songs coming out and will be doing more live performances.
What are your personal and professional summer plans?
I’m thinking of spending time in Spain. I’ve never been, and I would love to explore the country.

Atlanta, Georgia. Porsche Cars North America Inc. (PCNA) is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Boxster family with a special anniversary model: the 2021 Boxster 25 years. Based on the 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 model, and powered by a 394 hp naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, the special production model is limited to 1,250 units worldwide. It incorporates numerous design features of the original Boxster concept car first shown at the 1993 Detroit Auto Show. The production version of the Boxster first launched in Europe in 1996 and in the U.S. in 1997, closely resembling the concept car. Today the mid-engine sports car is in its fourth generation, and more than 357,000 units have been produced thus far.
One of the most striking features of the new special model are hints of the original concept car, through the use of Neodyme, a copper-like color, which provided a unique contrast to the GT Silver Metallic color on the pioneering 1993 concept. On the anniversary 718 model, it appears on the front and side air intakes as well as for the lettering and the specially designed two-tone, five-spoke, 20-inch alloy wheels and in the special ‟Boxster 25” badge on the rear. Porsche is offering the Boxster 25 years in GT Silver Metallic, although Jet Black Metallic and Carrara White Metallic are also available. Another striking element can be found on the fuel filler cap, which is enhanced by Porsche script from the Exclusive Design range. The cap is painted in an aluminum look as are the high-gloss tailpipes of the Sport Exhaust system while the windshield frame is finished in black.
Staying true to the style of the historic original, the special model combines a Bordeaux Red leather interior with a red roadster top made of fabric. The roadster top bears embossed ‟Boxster 25” lettering. Both interior and top are also available in Black. An interior package in Brushed Aluminium, 14-way electrically adjustable sport seats, door sill trims with ‟Boxster 25" lettering and the heated GT multifunction sport leather steering wheel are also included as standard equipment on the special edition model.
The 4.0-liter flat-six engine, which is shared with the 2021 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 model, offers exceptional throttle response, power delivery and a rich exhaust note. The high-revving 394 hp naturally aspirated powerplant, which is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or an optional seven-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK), creates an especially emotional driving experience. The special-edition model reaches a top track speed of 182 mph with the manual transmission and, in combination with the PDK gearbox and standard Sport Chrono package, sprints from zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.
Other standard features include Porsche Active Suspension Management suspension (PASM), which lowers the ride height 0.39 inches as compared to a standard 718 Boxster, and Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with mechanical limited-slip differential. They combine remarkable ride comfort and agile handling. The PASM Sport Suspension with a ride height reduction of 0.78 inches compared to a standard 718 Boxster and particularly sporty calibration is available as an option.
The new Boxster 25 years is available for ordering now and expected to arrive in U.S. showrooms this Spring as part of the 2021 model year with a starting MSRP of $98,600 excluding $1,350 for delivery, processing and handling.
A quarter century of pure driving pleasure: the Boxster family turns 25
The Boxster carries a very special meaning for Porsche as it marked a new orientation of the sports car manufacturer’s model strategy and provided a way forward through the difficult economic times of the mid-1990s. This was reflected in the first water-cooled production flat-six engine and also in the intelligent carry-over parts concept that started with the launch of the agile mid-engine roadster. This concept was incorporated into the 996 generation 911, which was launched a year later, and made it possible for Porsche to return to profitable production.
The attractively priced two-seater captured the hearts of new, younger customers right from the start. Visually, it incorporated features of the renowned history of the brand. The appearance of the Boxster concept car shown in Detroit rekindled fond memories of the legendary 550 Spyder and the 718 RS 60 Spyder racing car. It was received so well by the public in January 1993 that the Porsche Executive Board intervened in the ongoing design development of the production model and advised, without further ado: ‟Build the concept car just like that”. As time would tell, it was a wise decision.
When the production model was launched in August 1996, it bore a strong resemblance to the star of the 1993 Detroit Auto Show. Because it shared its front end with the 996 generation 911, there was no question about its lineage. The Boxster was a true Porsche. At the same time, its centrally mounted flat-six engine, which initially had a displacement of 2.5 liters and an output of 201 hp, was engineered to meet stricter emissions standards thanks to water cooling, four-valve technology and variable intake timing.
An increase in power and further model enhancements followed soon after. The first 986 Boxster generation received a larger 2.7-liter engine in the U.S. in 2000, initially with 217 hp and later with 225 hp. The newly launched Boxster S was powered by a 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine with 250 hp, which soon became 258 hp. The 987 generation followed in 2004 with a new design, standard 17-inch wheels (18-inches on the S model) and a redesigned interior. For the first time, performance enhancing options from the 997 generation of Porsche 911 such as optional PASM with variable damper characteristics, PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake) ceramic brakes and an optional Sport Chrono package were available. With unchanged displacement, the engines of the second generation Boxster delivered 225 hp and 258 hp, respectively. By the end of their production run, engine outputs had reached 255 hp from a displacement of 2.9 liters and 310 hp from a displacement of 3.4 liters. The optional PDK dual-clutch transmission also replaced the previously offered Tiptronic S automatic transmission. At the Los Angeles Auto Show 2009, the 320 hp Boxster Spyder model was introduced. Featuring a lightweight manual fabric top, shorter side windows and a unique rear decklid with striking bulges, it was the lightest Porsche available for sale at the time.
In 2012, Porsche presented the comprehensively restyled and visually sharpened 981 generation Boxster. Thanks to a completely new lightweight body and a fully revamped chassis, the newcomer was, more striking to look at, more capable in the corners and faster than ever before. The fully automated fabric roof did without a convertible top compartment lid, the axle overhangs were even shorter, and the windshield moved further forward. The updated boxer engines were equipped with direct gasoline injection and started out as a 2.7-liter six-cylinder engine developing 265 hp and a 3.4-liter engine putting out 315 hp. In April 2014, the first GTS variant of the Boxster followed with 330 hp, offering a performance value proposition with many performance enhancing features as standard that were optional on the S model. One year later, the lightweight Boxster Spyder was undoubtedly the highlight of the range, with a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter engine derived from the 911 Carrera S that delivered 375 hp, making the Spyder variant a particularly sensational car to drive – also because it was paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. It was the lightest Boxster of all 981 generation models.
The current 982 generation Porsche 718 Boxster models set a new course in January 2016, making their debut for the 2017 model year with four-cylinder turbo engines and enhanced styling. The 2.0-liter motor in the standard and T variants delivers 300 hp and the larger 2.5-liter boxer engine in the S model generates 350 hp thanks to a variable turbine geometry turbocharger. The 718 Boxster GTS followed shortly after with 365 hp. In mid-2019, the new 718 Spyder marked the top of the range. It shares a 414 hp 4.0-liter engine with the flagship Cayman model, the 718 Cayman GT4, and is the first Boxster model to be developed by the Porsche Motorsport department, sporting brakes and chassis components from the 911 GT3. Most recently, this six-cylinder engine also powers the 394 hp 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, which was introduced for the 2021 model year in the U.S.

Creating innovative solutions and collaborations to improve the health of the ocean.
LocationChina - Hong Kong SAR
Ocean Recovery Alliance is an NGO focused on creating innovative solutions and collaborations to improve the health of the ocean. Its network of organizations, entrepreneurs and innovators, particularly related to plastic sustainability and circularity, but also dedicated to broad ocean governance and new thought leadership, and helps to create engaged and active dialogue where gaps often occur due to between entities that often do not have a history of working with one another. The group creates purposefully designed activities to educate, build awareness and provide solutions which inspire positive societal change at the community, national and international levels.
The founder of Ocean Recovery Alliance, Douglas Woodring, was awarded the prestigious 2018 Prince Albert Prize for Innovative Philanthropy for his work with the ocean (the 2019 prize was awarded to Mr. Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever for his sustainability work). Two of the group’s international programs were launched at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2010, the Global Alert platform, and the Plastic Disclosure Project. Mr. Woodring is a United Nations Environment (UNEP) Climate Hero for his efforts, as well as a Google Earth Hero. Mr. Woodring has been on the advisory board of the XPrize, and The Economist’s World Oceans Summit, and in 2011, he co-authored the United Nations Environmental Program Yearbook chapter on the danger of plastic in the ocean.
The group is one of the first NGOs in the world have worked with both UNEP and the World Bank on plastic pollution and ocean issues, and is the founder of the Plasticity Forum, first launched at the Rio+20 Earth Summit, and has since been held in 13 cities around the world, with the 2019 event co-hosted with UNEP in Bangkok at their Sea of Solutions Conference. The conference is one of the few that solely focuses on the future of plastic, and where the leaders are going with solutions, innovations, and opportunities, for a world with a reduced waste footprint. A video of the virtual event, held this past November, with UNEP and Vietnam, can be seen here.
Ocean Recovery Alliance works with companies, governments, multi-lateral institutions, universities and with education programs. Its recent UNEP-funded report which scored 580 global commitments on plastic pollution has now been turned into a new organization called the Commitments Accelerator for Plastic Pollution (CAPP), which now has three flagship nations as its partner – Fiji, Curacao and Seychelles. This is an ongoing program, which now includes work with India, and is intended for a wide variety of stakeholder involvement across countries, companies, and community organizations.
The group also created the Water Falling and Water Rising Festivals in Cambodia, which take place twice a year with the rise/fall of the waters in the Tonle Sap Lake. The program started with focused work in three lakeside villages, and now has strong local and national government support, recently expanding to 30 villages, with a new program for the community to sort and collect plastic from their surroundings, without dumping or burning it. It will continue to expand this program, which will include new solutions for the use of mixed dirty plastic in concrete construction material, as well as continued river cleanup via the use of the Global Alert app, managed by local villagers and fishermen.
Currently, among some of its projects, Ocean Recovery Alliance is working the UNEP in Malaysia and Thailand, as part of the Swedish-funded Sea Circular program, to train 10 companies and two municipalities in each country about using the group’s Plastic Disclosure Project (PDP) footprinting methodology. This work is ongoing, and will be replicated in Ladakh, India, with the help of Anant University, and a local partner, where three cities will undergo the same footprinting analysis. This type of work will be replicated where possible, including a program along the coastline of Kenya, with a local partner which will start early 2021, modeled roughly after the Cambodian type of program it has initiated.
