Sallie Mae’s inaugural report delving into how Americans pay for graduate school revealed that a mere 12% of students base their decision to pursue an advanced degree on the cost.

While many students who participated in the study said they view graduate school as an investment in their future (and quite often it is), that statistic is particularly startling considering the record levels of student debt in this country (around $1.5 trillion at last count).

It’s also somewhat concerning in light of the fact that a graduate degree in many professions doesn’t guarantee an increase in one’s salary. Sallie Mae found that nine in 10 graduate school students believe the additional degree will translate into improved earnings, but in reality a salary increase depends largely on the profession chosen.

Heavy
equipment like excavators are used by a wide range of industries rely heavily
on hydraulics to operate. This means they need numerous types of motors that
are part of the hydraulic system. One of those motors is called final drive
motor and it is a vital part of keeping the excavator fully functional.

If your business uses heavy equipment like an excavator as part of your operation you know keeping them in tip-top shape is extremely important. So chances are your equipment maintenance shop keeps a number of replacement parts like final drive motor and many other necessary parts. Having a source to where you will be able to acquire your replacement parts is very important as well.

A topic that has come up (in somewhat different forms) independently in several different areas of my life recently is that of trying to balance the idea of simple and frugal living with living an ambitious life.

Let’s say, for example, that you have enormous career ambitions. You want to be CEO of a company, or maybe you want to design the next product that literally everyone’s using. You have huge career goals and dream of all of the trappings that will come with it.

Maybe you have other big goals, like running for Congress. Maybe you’re part of a homeschooling collective and also want to run a side business. Maybe you want to be a great writer whose work is read by tens of thousands.

Perhaps you simply dream of living a life that has a perfect balance of family, marriage, parenting, social time, interesting career, hobbies, and community projects.

When digital data, a
computer system, and a computer-aided machine are used in combination with one
another to automate, control and monitor the movements of a specific machine,
this is what computer numerical control is or CNC. This can be used with milling
machines, welders, grinders, lasers, cutters, robots, and many other types of
machines.

CNC milling,
specifically, performs the action of cutting through the use of a cylindrical
cutting tool that rotates on multiple axes. Generally speaking, a CNC milling
machine will have anywhere from three-five axes, those being on the horizontal,
vertical, and diagonal planes.

These allow specific
shapes, cuts, slots, and holes to be made in the material that manual tooling
techniques are unable to make.

The CNC milling
machine will have a combination of three essential elements which include the
cutting apparatus, a high-speed spinning tool, and an appropriate feed rate.

This week's topic: Keeping Your Money Safe!

In this day and age, to be successful on social media platforms such as Instagram, you need to get as many likes as possible. This is essential if you want to be considered an “influencer”. Building likes and a fan base takes time, persistence and sheer hard work, so we thought we would give you tips on how you can increase the number of Instagram likes on your account.

Tip #1 – Share Your Instagram Posts on Other Platforms

You will be surprised how often this is overlooked. If you take the time to link your Instagram account to other services such as Facebook and Twitter, you will notice more engagement. This will increase traffic to your page, which will in turn increase your likes (and followers too). If you have a blog or a website, make sure you share on these too.

Climbing Kilimanjaro is no easy task. It’s daunting but
definitely worth it should you reach the summit. Before you can achieve this
feat however, here are some things to lookout for before climbing the great Mt.
Kilimanjaro.

10. Route and Season Choice is Important

Mt. Kilimanjaro
has seven known routes to the summit. However, most climbers only make
selections from three routes. The Rongai route approaches the mountain from the
east and takes about 6 to 7 days to manoeuvre; The Machame Route runs up the
southern flank of the summit, and also takes 6 to 7 days to reach—has the best
view of the mountain; The Lemosho Route is a journey from the western
ridge of the mountain and is the longest route averaging 7 to 9 days to the
peak—this route has the highest success rate.
