Desktop Metal Forum: Affordable 3D Metal Printing

Metal 3D printing has barely scratched the surface.  More than 20 years after its introduction; it’s still too industrial and expensive for prototyping and it’s not fast enough to be used for series production.  In response to these independent problems, Desktop Metal was created to change the way products are brought to market with metal 3D printing.
The NWIRC is pleased to host Cimquest for a presentation and open discussion about Desktop Metal’s affordable, safe and precise metal 3D printing solutions.  Topics of discussion will include the process, materials and how this technology will impact how we prototype and manufacture metal parts.
Date: September 13, 2017; Time: 9:00 am – Noon; Cost: Free


Understanding Dementia

September 14; 1:00 Program helps caregivers to understand dementia-related behavior.
During the middle stage of dementia, the person with the disease often starts to exhibit new behaviors that can be confusing for a caregiver. These behaviors are a form of communication, and are essential to understanding the needs of the person with dementia.
To help caregivers decipher behaviors and determine how best to respond, the Alzheimer’s Association offers the Understanding and Responding to Dementia-Related Behavior program. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:  
  • Identify common triggers for behaviors associated with dementia.
  • Explain the process for assessing and identifying challenging behaviors.
  • List strategies to address some common dementia-related behaviors.
 
Through practical information, resources, and interviews with experts, this program will help caregivers to address the challenges of dementia-related behavior.
The Know the 10 Signs workshop will focus on these key topics:

  • The 10 warning signs
  • Basic overview of Alzheimer’s disease
  • Risk factors
  • What is involved in getting a diagnosis
  • Benefits of early detection including accessing available treatment, planning for the future and participating in clinical trials
September 14; 1:00pm; FREE
 
Understanding and Responding to Dementia-Related Behavior is appropriate for community presentations, corporate employee wellness meetings, support group programming and more.
For more information, contact the Alzheimer’s Association at info@alz.org or 800.272.3900.

FAFSA Completion
FAFSA Completion: Step-by-step assistance in completing FAFSA
November 1; 3:00pm - 5:00pm or 5:00pm - 7:00pm. Held at the CEC. Please note: You must have your FAFSA ID & 2016 income tax

Prep items
Students seeking federal or state aid for the 2017-18 academic year may complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), beginning October 1, 2017.  The 2017-18 FAFSA will require financial information from 2016. 
In advance of beginning the FAFSA, ideally three days, dependent students and their filing parent and independent students should create a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) at www.fsaid.gov.
A different email address is required for both parent and student in creating the FSA ID. Only the owner of the FSA ID should create and use the account. Meaning, parents should not create their student’s FSA ID and students should not create their parent’s FSA ID.
For the FAFSA completion workshop, students and the filing parent should have their FSA ID usernames, passwords and challenge (security) questions’ answers readily available.
To complete the FAFSA, you need to provide information from several types of documents. We recommend you gather this paperwork before you begin the FAFSA to save time and to make sure you complete the FAFSA correctly.
First, identify what type of student--dependent or independent—you are.
  • Dependent student—You will need documentation for both you and your parents.
  • Independent student—You will need documentation for both you and your spouse (if you are married).
     
    Personal Documents
  • Social Security number (can be found on Social Security card)
  • Driver's license number and state of issuance (if any)
  • Alien registration number or permanent residence card (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
     
    Proof of Income (report 2016)
  • Taxable income from W-2 forms or other records of money earned or received
  • Untaxed income, including workers' compensation; child support; housing, food and other living allowances; or veterans benefits, etc.
    Use income records from the calendar year that is prior to the year you plan to attend school.
    Tax Documents (report 2016)
  • Federal Income Tax Return (IRS tax form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ) if you were required to file (Note: If you complete your FAFSA online, you have the option of automatically retrieving your income and tax data from the IRS and having it transferred into your FAFSA. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool is the preferred method to complete the FAFSA.)
  • Foreign tax return or a tax return for Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, or the Federated States of Micronesia or Palau
    Use estimated tax data if you will not file your tax return before your earliest financial aid deadline. After you submit your tax return, correct any income or tax information that is different from what you initially submitted on your FAFSA.
    Assets (report as of FAFSA submission date)
  • Bank statements
  • Business and investment information, including business and farm records; stocks, bonds, and other investment records (as applicable)
