Hardwood - Red Oak
0.060 inches 0.125 inches 0.250 inches
What is it
Red Oak Hardwood is a solid wood which is sanded smooth on each side. It's coloring can range from light to medium brown.
**Please note: As a natural material hardwood can be prone to warping. If your design can fit on the smaller sheet size, please use that option**
How fast will this material ship?Orders using this material will ship as fast as same day. Find out more.
Can I get a sample?You can get a sample here.
Design NotesThis dry wood is a natural material and some variation in grain, colour and surface finish is to be expected.
Grain direction will always run horizontal as drawn on the computer screen. Simple wide shapes are best for this material, thin parts that are perpendicular to the grain should be avoided as they will be affected by any weakness in the grain.
The manufacturers tolerance for the thickness of the materials is as follows:
|Material thickness
|Possible Range
|0.060" / 1.5mm
|0.032" - 0.083"
|0.8 - 2.1mm
|0.125" / 3.2mm
|0.114" - 0.188"
|2.9 - 3.5mm
|0.250" / 6.4mm
|0.227" - 0.277"
|5.7 - 7.1mm
Engraving Hardwood Red OakThere are 3 types of engraving possible with laser cutting. Area engraving, line engraving and a combination of both.
Area engraving is great it you need to mark a large area on the surface of the material. To specify area engraving set your shapes to have a fill color of black with RGB values of 0, 0, 0. The way this engraving is performed is like an old dot matrix printer except instead of dots of ink it uses pulses of the laser beam. This is a surface finish not deep enough to be used for pocketing or inlays. The depth of the engraving ranges between 0.2-0.3mm.
Line engraving is like a really shallow cut. To achieve this effect the stroke color to red with RGB values of 255, 0, 0 and set the stroke style to a width of 0.01 mm. The laser beam follows along the red lines that you have in your design and marks the surface of the material. The result is crisp but it can be a time consuming technique if you have a lot of small details like text.
Using a combination of both engraving types typically gets the best result. Set your shapes to have a fill color of black with RGB values of 0, 0, 0, the stroke color to red with RGB values of 255, 0, 0, and set the stroke style to a width of 0.01 mm. The line engraving causes the laser beam to trace around the edges of the engraved areas making them more crisp and bringing the details to life.

In the competitive communication service provider industry, a fundamental tenet is that it costs much less to retain an existing customer than it is to acquire a new one. The challenge is to identify customers who are at the highest risk of churn before they switch to another service provider.
By leveraging the power of IBM predictive analytics software, XO Communications, based in Herndon, Virginia, has achieved significant improvement in customer retention and revenue protection with better quality customer interactions in contact centers and through more effective marketing campaigns.
XO has vast amounts of customer data, including demographics, transaction history, calling patterns, and conversations with call center agents. They compiled more than 500 data variables on its customers, and used the software to identify specific trends and correlations in those variables that were the most predictive to voluntary churn. By applying those results to its current customer base, XO could then accurately predict and proactively engage with the most valuable and profitable customers who carried the highest churn scores.
"IBM business analytics software has been the difference maker to our organization, allowing us to exceed our initial goals by improving retention rates, and creating millions of dollars in annualized revenue protection," said Cris Payne, senior manager of customer intelligence at XO Communications. "With a better overall customer experience, XO is now able to stay competitive against other carriers and improve our overall satisfaction. Our IBM business analytics portfolio allows us to quickly produce edible customer information leading to more strategic decisions affecting our top and bottom lines."
Traditionally, retention programs focus on keeping customers in contract, and focus on when contracts should be renewed. IBM predictive analytics allows XO to go beyond just looking at contract end dates by developing a better understanding of the entire customer experience. This allows the organization to prioritize their proactive outbound calls to "high risk" customers and better organize their resources. Now, each client services manager can monitor churn risk on up to 400 accounts.
"IBM's business analytics software allows communications service providers to leverage all available customer data to quickly and accurately increase customer retention, acquire more profitable customers and create better interactions at every touch point," said Deepak Advani, vice president of predictive analytics at IBM. "XO is a terrific example of an organization who has unleashed the power of predictive analytics to positively impact their business processes and significantly drive ROI."
Using numerous IBM business analytics solutions, XO has been able to quickly build and analyze customer data and share the information across the organization. IBM SPSS predictive analytics analyzes and scores customer data, while an IBM Netezza analytic appliance speeds data delivery and facilitates the creation of faster predictive models. Finally, IBM Cognos business intelligence software allows everyone across XO to better share, consume and collaborate with the data more effectively.
According to independent analyst firm Nucleus Research, XO recorded an 376 percent ROI in just 5 months, an average annual benefit of $3,819,200 million. Download the full case study here.

text: Car und Driver gave its staff a theoretical budget of $25,000 and asked a question many of us have posited to ourselves: What's the most entertaining vehicle I can get with my money? As would be expected when asking a group of car enthusiasts such a subjective — and emotional — question, the answers were all over the board, ranging from a brand new VW GTI to a used Dodge Ram SRT10. But the group ended up with seven used and two new vehicles that, for the most part, we think are pretty fair representations of fun for the dollar. We'll take that Supra Turbo, thank you very much.

Dear readers, we have started edristi English edition as well since August, 2015. We are hopeful that it will help us to connect to the broader audience and amplify our personal bonding with each other.
While presenting Day-to-day current affairs, we are very cautious on choosing the right topics to make sure only those get the place which are useful for competitive exams perspective, not to increase unnecessary burden on the readers by putting useless materials.Secondly, we have also provided the reference links to ensure its credibility which is our foremost priority.You can always refer the links to validate its authenticity
We will try to present the current affairs topics as quickly as possible but its authenticity is given higher priority over its turnaround time. Therefore it could happen that we publish the incident one or two days later in the website.
Edristi-Navatra-English-October-2019.pdf (52438 downloads)
Our plan will be to publish our monthly PDF on very first day of every month with making appropriate modifications of day-to-day events. In general, the events happened till 28th day will be given place in the PDFs. The necessity of this is to ensure the contents factual authenticity.
Reader's satisfaction is our utmost priority so requesting you to provide your valuable feedback to us. We will warmly welcome your appreciation/criticism given to us.It will surely show us the right direction to improve the content quality. Hopefully the current affairs PDF (from 1st October to 31st October) will benefit our beloved readers.
Current affairs data will be useless if it couldn't originate any competitive exam questions. E-Dristi has been very successful in that direction. Almost all the questions from UPPCS and other examinations have been asked from our materials.You can verify that by matching the question papers and e-Dristi contents from yourselves.

Here we go, creationists trying to weasel their way into the classroom yet again. So, this one kinda slid in under the radar on us. It has been widely discussed since it's passing on some other websites I am subscribed to, and felt it my duty as a free thinking TN resident, to put it out there, so the rest of us here in TN can get good and fired up, and maybe start sending emails and making a little noise. So maybe TN can get embarrassed into submission the way the gov of Alabama did. Here is a link to the bill
After reading it, I felt like it left a nice sized gap for the go ahead of creationism and the arguments against evolution, (even though they are not based on any real Science that has been recognized in or by actual field experts). It's a slippery slope folks, and I'm really tired of the dumbing down religion has cost this country. I refuse to let this ignorance touch my child. This state already has issues with it's educational capabilities. There were several folks who spoke up against this bill. I will link here to what I know.
Go to HB 0368 on the playlist on the left side of screen and click...you will see Molly Miller of Vanderbilt University addressing the senate:
Email her to let her know she did an awesome job. We gotta let these people know we have their backs!! Rep DeBerry of Memphis completely shows his ass and goes off on a diatribe attacking intellectuals and people with "prefixes or suffixes attached to their names" Send Molly some love. She's fighting the good fight. Email her :) I did and she responded, very thankful to hear people on her side!
I feel it would be worth while to point out to Rep. John DeBerry why what he said is such a dis-service to the TN educational system. I know I took great pleasure in penning this jack wagon an email explaining to him the difference between Scientific theory and Mythology. His email address below and PLEASE, let your voice be heard!!!
Other people who advised against this bill:
Wesley Roberts - Professor of Biology/Astronomy - Hume email@example.com
Andrew Kramer Professor of Anthropology - University of Tennessee firstname.lastname@example.com
Gary F. McCracken - Department Head of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology - University of Tennessee Knoxville
This is our back yard guys....we have a voice, but only if we make it be heard.
If anyone else has something good to add to what we can do, PLEASE POST IT!!!

Hey thanks for taking the time to read it JP :) This issue is really close to me because my son is in public school. In one of my responses above I mentioned why this all bothers me soooo badly and it was because the Gideons were allowed to hand out their vile little book in my son's school. That was something I just couldn't keep to myself. I was pissed, and what surprised me was that I was apparently NOT the only parent in this holier than thou town to be royally upset by this. Letters, phone calls, emails, all of it I did. Didn't have to speak out at the PTO meeting. Someone else covered that, (YAY) and letters were sent home with all of the students apologizing for anyone that might have been offended, and said that the children were not forced to take the bibles. However that they had heard our voice, and will no longer allow this to happen in the school again. So, I have a really keen idea of what is really going on in our schools here. They can only do that when you aren't watching. When they get caught they have to stop. This bill, kinda gives them an out of trouble clause, because anything they might discuss could just be "umbrella'ed" by this piece of crap.
I understand completely. I have 2 school age daughters myself.
The indoctrination of youth is one of the principle ways religious claptrap is propagated and we have to call them on every infraction in the public school system. At least we have federal law to back us up.
In reference to what Joseph posted above:
"...review in an objective manner the scientific strengths
and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories.."
It strikes me as laughable that they feel compelled to insert that word three times when once would have sufficed. Science, by its intrinsic nature, is a process of critical analysis. Of course, that is because they are trying to shoe-horn in criticisms that are anything but scientific. But maybe if they use the word enough...
I just e-mailed 80 gajillion Vanderbilt professors.
Odds are if your Senate representative is not on the Education Committee, they will just dodge your comments and say that have nothing to do with the vote yet. But every little but helps. You can also email the Senators that are on the committee here:
They probably simply won't respond to, however.
Anybody interested in organizing to draw attention to this situation, please reply and PM me (preferably with an e-mail address so I can keep you updated).
