Day 2 – Hip Hip Hooray!

Shows the doors connected to Athletic Lab. Perfect for people that get injured at Athletic Lab…they can just walk right through the doors to physical therapy 🙂

Today I started my day even earlier, so I got to see a lot of patients. One of the patients hurt their elbow when they were skiing. Another patient hurt their pelvis after running through pain for months. One of the more common injuries that I came across today were ACL injuries. I was surprised by the amount of ACL injuries and how common they are.

Since hip injuries were another common problem today, Mr. Meszler gave me a list of exercises that could help with hip mobility. Including foam rolling, lunges, and spiderman walks.

Hip exercises that I learned today.

When I came back from lunch, I met a patient with a shoulder injury. I learned a multitude of exercises that she can do to help her shoulder. The PT used a tennis ball to roll out her troubled spot on her shoulder against a wall. Then, she laid flat on her back on a foam roller.

A common exercise is for patients to lay on the foam roller long ways, so your body is over the entire foam roller. This exercise really helps to release tension in your shoulders.

One of the most interesting things I did today was watch dry needling. The PT put a needle into the hurt muscle and moved the needle all around. On one of the patients, the PT used around 50 needles! She had a lot of pain in her legs and feet, so she had to use a lot of needles to work all of those muscles.

Since I couldn’t take an actual picture of a patient getting dry needling, here is a diagram of dry needling.

Jae Writing from Algonquin Books!

After getting a slow start yesterday sleeping in and reading some great books, I’ve made it to my first publishing house: Algonquin Books in Chapel Hill, NC! Working with them has been great– I have learned everything from what a “deckled edge” is to a “galley” to a “frontlist”.

I also got to see inside the office of one of the main editors for Water For Elephants, who told me that the painting above his desk was done by an elephant and given to him by the author of the book!

He also showed me the piles of manuscripts that he, sadly, has to write rejection letters for: IMG_4340[1]

Algonquin Books publishes only twenty titles a year– something which makes the work of the editors, marketing, and everyone else much more important: every book that they publish has to be successful.

See y’all tomorrow for more updates from Algonquin!

Day 2- Binder Galore

Today at Camp Royall, I worked mostly on sorting out binders as I did yesterday. Once I realized what was missing in each one, I had to find the correct components in the arts and crafts area. Many simple things such as expo markers and construction paper were limited though as the camp relies mostly on donations for their supplies. For the second half of the day, I cut name tags and laminated them for counselors and other staff during the summer. The counselors all ate lunch together, so I enjoyed talking with them about past summers at Camp Royall. They each have specific kids they are really fond of and can’t wait to see again this summer. I wish I wasn’t already busy this summer so I could help out, but it’s possible I could volunteer for a week or two.

Reaghan – Day 2 at SAS social selling

We started today at SAS’s other location, 940 Cary Parkway. Courtney led a “workshop” on social selling to new SAS marketing employees and helped them use LinkedIn and other social networks to their advantage. I was in charge of recording the video for the workshop, which she would later put online for a bigger audience across the world. The employees were newly hired to the marketing /selling teams at SAS, and are given hundreds of companies that they need to try to sell the SAS technology to. They all made comments about how amazed they are about being able to connect and find people on a new level through social media. One of the most interesting things that Courtney talked about was how to connect with people through social media on a personal level, rather than just through an online presence. Through LinkedIn, she was able to pull up connections that she shared with her potential “targets,” as she called them, which would make it easier to make a direct and personal contact. For example, one of the students in the class was working on closing a deal with Pinterest. Courtney was able to pull up an employee of Pinterest who had experience working with SAS and had worked at Target, another business that uses SAS technology. There are so many tools to use in social media that enhance the ability of sales employees, it was very cool to learn about it today!

Cameron L. Day 2

Hello all!

Today started off similar to how yesterday ended, as we redid five tests on the ECMs for accuracy. I just realized I never actually figured out what “ECM” means, but here’s a picture of what I’m talking about:

Without filter

Filter pieces

With filter

After finishing, we went to a biometrics presentation, where they gave us free food (boo-yah) for lunch. The presentation was pretty interesting, especially when he started discussing physiology. I also happened to see my peer, Emily Lane, there as well.

After the presentation, we headed back to start working on placing various filters in plastic containers so they could equilibrate. After blowing them with nitrogen gas, we placed labels and filters in them. However, a 125 take a long time… Almost 3 hours, in fact. Guess what took up the rest of my afternoon?

Here are some pictures of the process:

The filters

SafeTy second?

Today on my second day at Cornell I was briefed on the extensive safety procedures. I also completed two different online safety courses that were focused on laboratory safety and high pressure gas safety. I was then able to get a better look at the lab space that I would be working in and the instruments we would use while outside conducting experiments. I was even given my own set of keys to the lab! We are currently working out some minor kinks with the telescopic capabilities of the cart so that we will be able to measure methane levels at multiple heights by pushing the cart through a gas leak (I will include a picture of the cart when we are close to done). Right now I plan to finish out the day by working on more background research that is specific to the types of instruments we are using. I am looking forward to tomorrow! — Iain

Katie Day 2-We Look Radishing

First, I would just like to point out that our shirts say “beet hunger” on them, and I think that’s wonderful. This morning, I helped work Interfaith Food Shuttle’s educational booth at the Wakemed Raleigh farmer’s market with three NC State interns above. I showed our visitors the poster to the left of us, which matches bags full of sugar to sodas that contain that amount. After shocking them with the visualization, we offered samples of a much healthier option (in the pitcher next to me), a concoction of pure orange juice and seltzer water. This farmer’s market is held at Wakemed Raleigh, which is a food desert, every Tuesday over the summer, and helps facilitate access to fresh healthy food for people of all income levels. Interfaith matches the amount of money spent from EBT cards (food stamps), so those purchasing with SNAP benefits can afford fresh local foods. Tonight, I will attend one of Interfaith’s Cooking Matters classes for Hispanic families.

Evie Day 2- Coffee Shops and Local Celebs

My second day at centerline was certainly up my alley! For the first couple hours of the day I talked to a woman here who works as the head of marketing for Centerline itself. By that, she explained, she is responsible for getting Centerline’s name out into the world as much as possible. The job entails finding gigs for the CEO to speak at, nominating the company for new titles and awards, and really just marketing Centerline in a way that attracts as much positive attention as possible. She is also responsible for much of the marketing at devolve- a Coffee shop and urban retail store hybrid created by the CEO here at centerline. One of the projects she has been running is a Haul Series, where she recruits popular figures from the area and invites them to choose some of their store favorites. These favorites, along with a photo shoot and casual interview, come together to create a post for the website. The incentive, beyond simply attracting cool people to the store, is the hope that these figures will share the post and the experience via their own social media platforms. Today I got to tag along to one of their meetings with the next figure of their series: Scott Crawford, former executive chef of standards foods and creator of Crawford & Sons. I sat at a restored wood bar table with my lap top and watched the meeting. They spoke to scott about his career and future endeavors over coffee and then proceeded to take him around the store. The photo shoot is likely to occur later on within the next few weeks and will definitely be a cool opportunity to experience! I think today my greatest take away was seeing how many opportunities there are within the world of marketing. Not only does it open doors to meet so many successful and lovely people, but it also provides you with some of the coolest environments to be surrounded by.

Dr. McElreath you were right- this place really is cool ( I wonder how many times I’ll be using that word over the next couple of weeks).

Day 2: SAS or Stark Industries?

Grace and I started our day off by talking to Gordon, the expert in Capital Planning and Depreciation at SAS. He explained that most of the capital that SAS invests in is either Corporate Service (like new buildings), or IT (like new computers), and that most things are capitalized within 3-5 years. Next, we took a tour around the 900-acre campus with Bethany, an HR representative who recently joined the company. First, she drove us to the gyms and rec rooms, where “Jawsome Aquatics Day” was taking place. The whole building was decked out in shark gear, and we even got to hear about some of the other activities that took place there, like basketball games and Zumba classes. Next, we went to Building R, the Research and Development sector, and we looked at the library and the huge café. After driving past the farm on campus, we ended our tour in Building C, the huge executive building where customers and clients were being treated to lunch. (Fun fact: This building served as the exterior of Stark Industries in the third Iron Man movie!) The cafeteria there was amazing, and Grace, Bethany, and I all indulged in various types of sushi and desserts! Mine was filled with avocado, cucumber, and carrot, with spicy mayonnaises on the side. Finally, we ended our tour and went back to Building T. There, we talked with two members of Lisa’s staff about Standard Management and Treasury Functions, then it was time to go home!
