Finnish Red Cross funds aid work in Afghanistan with EUR 200,000 from its disaster relief fund
Finnish Red Cross
The food shortage in Afghanistan is currently affecting more than half of the country's population.
The upcoming winter presents a severe threat to those forced to flee within the country in particular.
The Finnish Red Cross is donating EUR 200,000 from its disaster relief fund to fund the International Red Cross's aid work in Afghanistan.
The chronic humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan has worsened rapidly this year due to the escalating conflict, the subsequent coup, the COVID-19 pandemic and prolonged and severe drought, among other factors. At the same time, many major aid providers have discontinued or reduced their aid funding for Afghanistan.
The amount of people suffering from an acute shortage of food has increased by 37 per cent since April. At present, approximately 23 million people, or 55% of the total population, are suffering from the food crisis. The upcoming winter presents a severe threat particularly to those 700,000 people who have lost their homes or been forced to flee this year.
– The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is in a unique position to provide aid throughout the country and reach those in need. It is imperative to secure the continued provision of impartial and independent humanitarian aid, says the Finnish Red Cross's Head of International Programmes Toni Jokinen.
The funds from the disaster relief fund will be used to support the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' (IFRC) emergency appeal, the aim of which is to provide aid to a total of 560,000 people across 16 provinces over a period of two years. The funds will be used to provide people with shelter, cash aid, food and other aid supplies.
The operation has already distributed cash aid to 3,500 families suffering from drought and hygiene packages to girls in particular. In addition to this, Afghan Red Crescent health stations and mobile health teams have provided health care services to over a million people across the country this year.
The aid work in Afghanistan is also being supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross. The worsening crisis is now being tackled with food and material aid in particular.
– We are currently in the process of delivering 3,000 tonnes of food, winter clothes, household supplies and hygiene packages to the country via Pakistan. This will not be enough, however. More aid and funding is urgently needed, says Jokinen.
The new donation will double the amount of funding provided by the Finnish Red Cross for the IFRC operation, as the Finnish Red Cross already granted EUR 200,000 from its disaster relief fund for the aid operation in Afghanistan earlier this year. In addition to this, funding from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland has been allocated to the International Committee of the Red Cross's (ICRC) operation and the IFRC's COVID-19 operation.

Colfax Corporation
Traded as
NYSE: CFX
S&P 400 Component
Russell 1000 Component
Mitchell and Steven Rales
Annapolis Junction, Maryland
Matthew Trerotola (CEO)
14,300[1] (2017)
www.colfaxcorp.com
Colfax Corporation is an American corporation manufacturing welding, air and gas handling equipment, and medical devices headquartered in Annapolis Junction, Maryland. Indexed on the NYSE, the company was originally founded as a spinoff from the American conglomerate Danaher Corporation.[2][3] In 2011, Colfax acquired British Charter International PLC, which in turn owned Swedish ESAB (8,500 employees worldwide, 2012). Both companies have since been wholly owned by Colfax.[4] Further Colfax also acquired Allweiler (2,100 employees worldwide, 2011).[5][6] The company made its largest acquisition ever in November 2018, buying medical device company DJO Global for $3.15 billion.[7]
Colfax was founded in 1995 by Steven and Mitchell Rales.[8]
In August 1997, Colfax Corporation acquired approximately 93% of IMO's common stock through a public tender offer. At the time of the acquisition, IMO was a diversified industrial manufacturer, with $469.0 million in annual revenue and five business units: Boston Gear, IMO Pump, Morse Controls, Gems Sensors, and Roltra Morse. Simultaneously with the closing of the tender offer, IMO sold its Gems Sensors unit to Danaher. In February 1998, IMO sold Roltra Morse to Magna International. These divestitures were made to narrow the strategic focus to two groups.
Consisting of two groups, power transmission and fluid handling, during its early years Colfax focused on strong brands that had leading positions in their markets. In July 1998 the German-based Allweiler was purchased to enhance the position in the Fluid Handling segment. In February 2005 the Power Transmission group was sold to Genstar Capital. At that time the President and CEO, John Young, promoted Scott Faison to SVP Finance & CFO and consolidated the Fluid Handling Group leadership with the corporate team in Richmond Virginia.
Acquisitions were then made of Zenith Pumps (from Parker Hannifin), Portland Valve, Lubrication Systems Company (Jan 2007) and Fairmount Automation (Nov 2007) to the Fluid Handling platform.
Colfax went public with an initial public offering in May 2008, after first quarter net profit of that year was $8.8 million.[9][10]
In January 2012, it completed the acquisition of Charter International, the parent company of ESAB and Howden,[11] for $2.4 Billion.[12]
The revenue of the company for 2012 was $3 billion.[13]
In July 2015, Matthew Trerotola was appointed CEO. In the 7 months following, the stock price fell by 40%, and Trerotola was awarded a $9 million bonus.[14]
In December 2017, Colfax sold its fluid handling platform to Circor for cash and stock. This reduced the size of the company by about $0.5 billion. It also changed the name of the Gas and Fluid Handling division to the Air and Gas Handling division consisting of Howden. The Fab Tech group remained unchanged consisting of ESAB and Victor.
In August 2018, Reuters reported that "Colfax Corp (CFX.N) has an 8 percent sales exposure to Russia, according to the Goldman Sachs note."[15]
In November 2018, Colfax expanded into the medical device space by acquiring DJO Global from The Blackstone Group for $3.15 billion.[7]
KPS Capital Partners ("KPS") announced on May 16th 2019 that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Howden, from Colfax Corporation for $1.80 billion, including $1.66 billion in cash consideration and $0.14 billion in assumed liabilities and minority interest, subject to customary closing adjustments.[16]

Social proof is a principle in psychology that suggests we look to others when making a decision.
If we're uncertain about which course of action to take, we follow the lead of our peers, and even strangers. If others are doing something, it makes sense that we should do it too.
Countless studies have shown social proof in action. One such study by Robert Cialdini and colleagues looked at ways to increase the rate of towel reuse by hotel guests.
The typical hotel notice to encourage towel reuse mentions the environmental benefits of reusing towels in an attempt to cut down on the hotel's laundry load and energy bills.
In this study, the researchers changed the wording of the notice to read that the majority of other guests had reused towels. The result? Towel reuse increased by 26%.
Here's another example of social proof in action: clubs make people line up outside. You might be walking past, looking for a bar or club, and the long line will give you the impression that the club is popular and worth visiting.
Ever wondered why TV shows use canned laughter even though most of us find it annoying? It's because viewers are more likely to laugh along and find the show funny if 'others' are laughing too.
Unfortunately, social proof prevents us from taking actions, too. The bystander effect occurs because witnesses of an accident or incident are thrown into an unfamiliar situation and look to others to see what to do – but everyone else does the same, and no-one thinks to call for an ambulance or get help.
The power of social proof is undeniable, and savvy marketers should look to take advantage of it – particularly those in the hospitality industry.
For example, a study found that the average traveler looks at 6-12 TripAdvisor reviews before booking accommodation, and 53% of guests won't book a room at a hotel if it has no reviews.
In the hospitality industry, TripAdvisor, Yelp and co. rule. Your business can live or die by your TripAdvisor rating.
If you're trying to improve your ranking on review sites, it's worth remembering that three variables affect the algorithms the most: number of reviews, quality of reviews, and recency of reviews.
Therefore, concentrate on increasing the percentage of your guests who leave reviews. Print off TripAdvisor business cards to give out to guests on departure, or send out emails after a guest's stay with a review prompt.
Restaurants should train staff to mention reviews to happy customers when they're about to leave. A simple friendly prompt is often enough to encourage guests to leave a review.
You should also use review site widgets on your website and Facebook page to make your TripAdvisor score highly visible.
You're deciding where to stay for an upcoming weekend away.
You search for hotels near your destination, and stumble onto the website of a promising candidate.
You then hop over to their Twitter feed and see that they have less than 100 followers and haven't posted an update in two years.
You check their Facebook and it's not any busier.
You can see that other guests have tried to contact the hotel through its Facebook page, and haven't received a response.
You close the tab and look for an alternative.
A low number of social media followers means your business won't be taken seriously. It's little surprise that so many businesses resort to buying followers – but those fake followers won't share your social media posts or comment on your Tweets.
Potential visitors may then be concerned about low levels of interactions on your social media posts, although this is less of an issue than low follower numbers.
It's always best to build your social media followers organically, by engaging with the local community and taking part in conversations.
Your social media 'voice' should be genuine and consistent – don't be mistaken for a robot. Even if you don't have thousands of followers, a smart social media feed can win over doubters.
While social proof is most powerful when you can show potential customers what 'people like them' thought of your hotel or restaurant, mentions of your business in the media can also serve as valuable forms of social proof.
When you're mentioned in the local press, take quotes from the articles and post them on your website and social media channels.
You can also display scans of press articles and reviews on your website – but get the permission of the author first.
Every time you receive positive feedback from a guest on social media, respond!
Depending on the volume of endorsements you receive, you may wish to retweet or share all of them.
When potential guests browse your social media feeds, they'll see a string of genuine, positive feedback – and they'll be more likely to give your hotel or restaurant a shot.
Again, visitors do their research to see if your hotel is suitable for people like them.
Are the answers you've given helpful? Are they rude?
How quickly was the issue dealt with?
Do you seem open to feedback and constructive criticism?
Think about how your current approach comes across and adjust if necessary.
Ultimately, the most effective way to tap into social proof as a hospitality business is to change your mindset.
Put social proof at the heart of your online presence.
Constantly think of ways to show future guests how past guests enjoyed their visit to your business.
Photos, reviews, endorsements, quotes, statistics – anything.
Don't just ignore negative feedback either, particularly when it can be seen by the public.
Respond to negative TripAdvisor reviews, comment on criticism on social media.
Always be open-minded when reading negative feedback. Apologise.
Say how you'll change to avoid a repeat. Make clarifications but don't make excuses.
Overall, social proof isn't just about numbers – it's about experiences and stories.
If you can share endorsements, examples of exceptional customer service, and other customer experiences that future guests will relate to, you'll be well placed to leverage social proof.

Volumes: 11
Colossians & Philemon

Individual Titles
The Gospel of Luke is an orderly historical account, but it is far from ordinary. In the longest Gospel, Luke places great stress on the unique lordship of Jesus and God's plan to bring salvation into this world. Throughout, Luke stresses that Jesus' message reaches the forgotten people groups of this world, particularly the poor and women, showing us that the gospel is truly intended for all peoples.
In Luke Verse by Verse, Grant Osborne leads readers through this systematic account of Jesus' life. He shows us why Luke may be called "the theologian of prayer" and unpacks the far-reaching power of the gospel then and now. With Osborne as guide, readers will learn what this Gospel, which introduces the Suffering Servant who has become the Risen Lord of all and reigns by his Spirit, can teach us today.
John is at once the most complex and the easiest to understand of all the Gospels. If we want a young seeker or new believer to read something that is both clear and filled with the gospel and good basic theology, we give them the Gospel of John. And if we want to study an incredibly deep theological masterpiece that stretches the brightest mind, we open the Gospel of John. It is the most evangelistic account of Jesus' life and ministry, and it also gives the mature Christian deep theological truths to chew on.
In John Verse by Verse, respected New Testament scholar Grant R. Osborne invites the reader to become caught up in the dramatic masterpiece of the Fourth Gospel. He writes, "If I were teaching a course in college or seminary on creative writing, John's Gospel would be set alongside Shakespeare as models of brilliant characterization and plot." It is perhaps Osborne's favorite book of the Bible, and enthusiasm for it shines on every page.
In Acts Verse by Verse, respected New Testament scholar Grant R. Osborne examines the history of the early Church and the foundation it provides us today.
Romans is Paul's theological magnum opus. Within its pages, we have the Apostle Paul's fullest presentation of the good news he preached. Written from Corinth in AD 57 to a church he had not yet met, Romans is his masterful presentation of the dire situation all humans find themselves in, the grace of God in sending us salvation, and how we should live in light of God's great love for us.
In Romans Verse by Verse, Grant R. Osborne unpacks what this towering letter means for us today. Familiar with scholarly discussions yet committed to making Romans intelligible to the lay reader, Osborne skillfully explains what it meant for its original audience and how it applies to us today.
In Galatians, the Apostle Paul is engaged in a battle for the gospel. A group of legalistic Jewish Christians had gone into the Galatian churches Paul had established and begun convincing new Christians that they had to follow the Old Testament law in order to be saved. In response, Paul writes a letter urging the Galatians to live in the freedom that comes from Jesus. He pleads with them to cling to the cross of Christ and not replace it with attempts to earn righteousness through their works.
In Galatians Verse by Verse, Grant R. Osborne takes us back to the first century, showing readers the high stakes that led Paul to write this letter. Osborne skillfully explains what it meant for its original audience and how it applies to us today. The clear message of this book is that Christ is not only Messiah; he brought about an entirely new era of salvation history. Under the new covenant in Christ, believers are declared righteous before God by faith alone, then empowered to live in step with the Holy Spirit.
From prison, the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Ephesian Christians that was packed with many grand theological themes: the mystery of the gospel, the work of the Trinity, the exalted nature of Christ, the gift of salvation, the church as the body of Christ, and spiritual warfare against the powers of darkness.
In Ephesians: Verse by Verse, Grant R. Osborne offers a clear exposition of this complex book. He serves as a trustworthy guide as he unpacks Ephesians, explaining what it meant in its first-century setting and how it applies to us today. Throughout he focuses on the exalted Christ who is lord of all, and the unity of the church as the new creation in Christ.
As he sits in a Roman prison, the Apostle Paul does not focus on the difficulties of his own situation when he writes to the Philippians. Rather, he is most interested in encouraging the Philippian church that he and his ministry team had founded on his second missionary journey. He overflows with joy as he urges his readers to maintain unity by looking to role models—himself, their brother Epaphroditus, but above all Jesus Christ.
In Philippians Verse by Verse, Grant R. Osborne gets inside this letter to show readers Paul's close partnership with the Philippian church. These believers were always willing to help Paul when he was in a tight spot, and his relationship with them brought him great encouragement even in the midst of being persecuted for the sake of the gospel. Osborne helps readers to learn about the Philippians' service and Paul's gratitude so that we too can maintain joy in the direst of circumstances.
While the apostle Paul was in prison, he wrote to the Colossian Christians to help them maintain their focus on the lordship of Jesus against the claims of false teachers that had snuck in among them. At the same time as he sent this letter to the wider church, he also sent a short letter to his friend and coworker Philemon that displays Paul's masterful skill at conflict resolution.
In Colossians & Philemon: Verse by Verse, Grant R. Osborne carefully and accessibly makes sense of these two important letters, while at the same time drawing on his years of scholarly research on the New Testament. The result is a clear exposition of Colossians and Philemon, explaining what they meant in their first-century setting and what they mean today.
Paul's letters to the church in Thessalonica are often considered two of the less important of his letters, but they were written to an important city and a church facing important issues. In addition to addressing the issue of Christ's return and the problem of people who refused to work, these letters model a truly loving relationship between a pastor and a congregation.
In 1 & 2 Thessalonians Verse by Verse, respected New Testament scholar Grant R. Osborne shows readers that in a culture demanding that everyone participate in the worship of the Roman Empire's gods, the Thessalonians desperately needed resources that would help them withstand the pressure to conform. These letters provide us with a thrilling example of affection among believers in extremely hard times and help us see how that affection can make severe trials bearable.
James's letter is famous for its practical wisdom and its heart for gospel transformation reflected in action. James is like Proverbs in the New Testament—but written as a letter, reflecting the New Covenant of Christ. It advises believers facing cultural challenges in the diaspora how to approach practical issues like trials and suffering, the proper use of the tongue, and poverty and wealth from a worldview shaped by Christ. Stated simply, it teaches believers about living life in God's world by God's rules.
In James Verse by Verse, the late Grant R. Osborne invites readers to delve into this uniquely structured, immensely practical book. James is all about what early Christians called "the Way" and, as such, holds a unique place in the New Testament. This commentary will help modern readers embrace James as a distinctively Christian letter, full of wisdom for everyday life.
The book of Revelation tends to both fascinate and confuse us with its vivid and strange imagery. When we turn to trusted scholars for help, the widely divergent interpretations of the book can sometimes cause us to throw our hands in the air and stop reading. Are the visions to be taken literally or symbolically? Do they depict events from the first century or are they future, just before Jesus' return?
In Revelation: Verse by Verse, Grant R. Osborne cuts through the confusion and offers a clear exposition of the book, explaining what it meant in its first-century setting and what it means today. Instead of being a frightening or befuddling book, Osborne urges us to see Revelation as highly devotional, causing readers to focus on the sovereignty of God, the futility of Satan, and the ultimate victory of the Lamb and his saints.

3 Indirect Ways the Gospel Improves Health
Post author By Dan
Hearing and accepting the Gospel is not a magical pill that makes one healthy, wealthy or prosperous. That is a false gospel that makes Jesus no more than a genie in a bottle. But a life lived in light of the Gospel may be good for your health, and the health of your community.
The church has always done its best missions and outreach work when addressing the issues of health, education, or poverty. Beyond biblical and theological training, health and educational disciplines have been the most consistent disciplines on the mission field.
Jesus and the Apostles
Much of Jesus' ministry was characterized by healing the sick. Granted, a key distinction between His ministry and ours is the miraculous nature of Jesus' healing work. The purpose of Jesus' work was to prove His identity as the Messiah, but the effect was still that people were healed, and some people believed in Jesus.
The Apostles also healed miraculously. The purpose for their miracles was to demonstrate authority. Still, the effect was that people were healed and people were pointed to Christ.
I am not hugely concerned whether modern healing is miraculous, natural, or mixed. I am also not hugely concerned whether the healing is small or great. I am primarily concerned that people are healed, and that people are pointed to Christ.
Participating in someone's healing process provides an opportunity to present the Gospel.
You don't have to be a doctor to participate in someone's healing process.
The Gospel and Emotional Health
At the moment we are saved, we are released from guilt. We have been forgiven, and we are called to forgive. We may still have remorse for our past sin, which is totally appropriate. But we no longer have to carry guilt. Abiding in forgiveness and setting aside guilt can do wonders for our own emotional health.
Paying forgiveness forward is another major contribution to our own emotional health. When we stop poisoning our hearts with bitterness, we have space for better emotions. What might happen when we stop treating our offenders with bitterness, and instead treat them with the love of Christ?
Beyond guilt and forgiveness, a Christian's discovery of a new identity in Christ can bring tremendous healing to self doubt, pride, and shame.
Anyone can participate in this healing process. All you need to do is forgive and encourage others. Forgiveness can seem impossible in many cases, I don't mean to make light of the suffering that sinful people bring to each other, but forgiveness is possible.
The Gospel and Social Health
The Great Commandment is to completely love God, and to love people as ourselves. If we really live that out, in light of our forgiveness, and by paying forgiveness forward, we influence the people around us in ways that are good for all of us.
By creating a culture of healing in our churches and communities, we can "stack the deck" for a lot of healing processes to get started. What comes next is a lot of opportunities to present the Gospel.
One thing we can do to stack the deck to advance access to affordable healthcare. I know this is a politically charged issue, but the fact is that the Church has massive opportunities that it is largely ignoring. This is a stewardship failure on a lot of levels.
How can the Church advance affordable care? There are of course the legislative solutions such as the Affordable Care Act. But I think the free market has other models that the Church can use. One possibility is a simplified version of concierge care combined with an altruistic outlet.
The Gospel and Physical Health
Forgiveness reduces guilt, bitterness, and shame, which reduces stress. Reduced stress improves sleep and health in general. Improved sleep improves health in general. A life lived in light of the Gospel will also tend to lead people to healthier behaviors.
Again, the Gospel is not a magic pill. That is bad doctrine. But it can help us feel better and function better. We can love others as Christ has loved us, and in doing so we can help them to feel better and function better.

High Peaks Pure Earth has updated the Summer 2011 reading list to create the Winter 2011 reading list!
With these reading lists, High Peaks Pure Earth suggests books for those interested in Tibet and particularly in Tibetan literature in translation. Click on the title links to purchase the books on Amazon.
If you have read any of these books, leave a comment or short review… if you have any of your own recommendations, please let us know!
To be published by Rider in January 2012, this book is aimed at the general reader. "Beyond Religion: ethics for a whole world" is a modern-day polemic which outlines those ethics the Dalai Lama believes should be central to our lives.
Published in November 2011 by One Peace Books, "Save the Himalayas" is a children's book written in Tibetan, English and Japanese with an environmental message.
Published by Berghahn Books in September 2010, the contributions to this volume explore the impacts of western science and biomedicine on Tibetan grounds i.e., among Tibetans across China, the Himalaya and exile communities as well as in relation to globalized Tibetan medicine-and the ways that local practices change how such science gets done, and how this continually hybridized medical knowledge is transmitted and put into practice.
To be published in January 2012 by Lexington Books, China's Last Imperial Frontier explores imperial China's frontier expansion in the Tibetan borderlands during the last decades of the Qing.
Published by University of California Press in November 2011, Mueggler's book interweaves the stories of two early twentieth-century botanists to explore the collaborative relationships each formed with Yunnan villagers in gathering botanical specimens from the borderlands between China, Tibet, and Burma.
Published in November 2011 by Rizzoli International Publications, photographer Phil Borges uses individual stories and portraits to illustrate how dramatic development, climate change, and the deep devotion of the Tibetan people are interacting to transform Tibetan culture. The portraits of the land and the people bring a powerful visual component as the reader meets and learns about Tibet firsthand through these storytellers.
Published by Perseus Oto in April 2011, Eric Enno Tamm's book retraces the epic journey of Gustaf Mannerheim, a Russian spy, who chronicled the modernization and reform of the Qing Dynasty from 1906 to 1908. A century later, in 2006, Tamm followed in Mannerheim's footsteps through Central Asia, Xinjiang, Gansu (Amdo) and Central and North China to Beijing.
Published in January 2003 by University of Hawaii Press, "Empire of Emptiness" takes a fresh look at the huge outpouring of Buddhist painting, sculpture, and decorative arts Qing court artists produced for distribution throughout the Imperial Manchu empire. The multilingual, culturally fluid Qing emperors put an extraordinary range of visual styles into practice – Chinese, Tibetan, Nepalese, and even the European Baroque brought to the court by Jesuit artists.
Published in April 2002 by University of California Press, Pamela Kyle Crossley traces the ways in which a large, early modern empire of Eurasia, the Qing (1636-1912), incorporated neighboring, but disparate, political traditions into a new style of emperorship. This groundbreaking study examines the relationship between the increasingly abstract ideology of the centralizing emperorship of the Qing and the establishment of concepts of identity in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, before the advent of nationalism in China.

The word "Plastic" comes from the Greek verb "platho" which means "to mould" or "to give form". Plastic Surgery is the medical specialty that enables the molding and the re-forming of the human body. According to Pythagoras, the definition of beauty is harmony. Purpose of Plastic Surgery is the creation of harmony and therefore the creation of beauty. It is for this reason that Plastic Surgery is considered a form of Art.
Plastic Surgery encompasses Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. Aesthetic Surgery improves the appearance of the body features while Reconstructive Surgery restores physical function and minimizes disfigurement from accidents, disease or birth defects. Both Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery create a human body with an aesthetically pleasant and functional result. They enable the normalization of appearance, the restoration of function and the well-being, making a significant contribution to the quality of life by enhancing the self-image, self-respect and self esteem. This is why the specialty "Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery", combine in a single specialty which is popularly known as "Plastic Surgery".
Doctor Harris Zavrides has published a scientific article, at the prestigious "Aesthetic Plastic Surgery" Journal which is the official Journal of the "International Society of Aesthetic Surgery", that explains the correlation between Cosmetic Surgery and self confidence in the work environment: Representations in Plastic Surgery: The Impact of Self Image and Self Confidence in the Work Environment.

3D printing technologies have once again come to the aid of an animal in need, this time in the form of a 3D printed orthotic boot for Purps, an endangered African penguin with a lame leg. The effort to help the animal was brought to fruition through a collaboration between the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut, where Purps is resident, the Mystic Middle School, and ACT Group, a local supplier of 3D Systems 3D printers.
A resident of the Mystic Aquarium, Purps injured her left leg a number of years ago after getting into a fight with another penguin. After examining the injury, veterinarians from the aquarium found that Purps had actually torn her flexor tendon in her ankle and would not be able to walk normally again. Since the incident, and despite a number of different attempts to handcraft a suitable support boot for the penguin (a very time consuming process), Purps has never fully regained the ability to walk and move as normal penguins do.
That's where 3D printing comes in. After hearing about the design and manufacturing potentials of the emerging technology, the team of veterinarians from the Mystic Aquarium decided to reach out to their partners at the local Mystic Middle School, which had just received its first 3D Systems printer through ACT Group. A group of students were briefed on the penguin's injury and what type of boot would be necessary for Purps to walk again. Then, under the guidance of Sue Prince, the library media specialist at the school, they got to work creating a fitting solution.
To help better acquaint themselves with the technology and its potentials, Mystic Middle School reached out to ACT Group for advice on how to best design the boot and what printer to make it on. Seeing potential in the project, not only to help the penguin in need, but to help educate children about additive manufacturing and 3D modeling, ACT Group became a partner and offered the students educational workshops, as well as access to 3D Systems' multi-material ProJet MJP 5500X 3D printer.
In the end, the students from Mystic Middle School were able to successfully design a boot based off of a cast of Purps' injured foot. The process involved a number of steps including scanning the cast with a Geomatic Capture 3D Scanner to generate a digital model of it, and modifying the digital design to create the boot model. The 3D modeling was done using 3D Systems' Geomatic Sculpt software. The final boot was printed as a single piece from a variety of flexible and rigid materials that resulted in a custom-fitted, lightweight, durable, and functional assistive device.
According to the students and team at the Mystic Aquarium, when Purps was fitted with her new 3D printed boot, she was able to walk much more easily that with her previous, heavier boot and ran around with it on with ease. The moment of seeing the African penguin regain mobility thanks to the 3D printed boot they had designed was both exciting and inspiring for the young students who made the project a reality.
