Firstly, he is a one night stand that happened four years ago, before I'd even met my boyfriend. They do know each other though.
As things have happened, myself and a friend will be in Africa at the same time as anoher friend and said lad. We'll be there for 8 weeks so we both thought it would be nice to break things up and meet with a friendly face for 2 weeks. It is the other friend I want to mett, not really the said lad...I don't like him all that much.
I knew my boyfriend might have an issue with this, but it remained all up in the air until we got a response from the placement. Also, because I'd asked my boyfriend if he wanted to do his intership and then go travelling after with me...and he said no (we've been going out for 2.5 years). He's also been making comments recently about how we won't even be together next summer so I didn't think he would be all that bothered, or get over it at least.
Instead, he has gone off the walls with rage, isn't talking to me and I just don't know what to do?
I can technically re-arrange this, but it will take alot of time and hassle, not to mention four people's plans will have to be altered. I've spoken to his friends about this and they think he is being ridiculus but at the same time I shouldn't end up doing something I know would upset him.
What should I do!?

Contrasts in learning: a collaborative evaluation by practitioners and students
Liz Creese
Jane Kemelfield
This evaluation is focussed around an introductory course in organisational behaviour. The course is a core first-year unit for several undergraduate Business programs, as well as being offered to Engineering and Science undergraduates as part of their double-degree program. The initial emphasis of the study—to trial the delivery of lectures online—sits within a broader strategic framework to 'renew' (RMIT, 2000) large courses (often involving in excess of six hundred students) for flexible delivery. Other demands upon the lecturers who deliver the course include catering for diverse student demographics and, increasingly, the requirement to deliver the course in a variety of remote and off-shore (in particular Asian) locations: a fully online offering of the Organisational Behaviour course is scheduled for delivery in Vietnam in 2002 as part of a flagship Bachelor of Commerce program.
Introduction to Management, a compulsory course for Engineering students, is a lecture-only offering of the Organisational Behaviour course (in contrast, Business students also attend tutorials). It was decided to conduct the trial of online lectures with this group of eighty Engineering students, rather than the full group of Business students, as the smaller student numbers would be more manageable. As well as accommodating the imperative from policymakers of the University—to ensure that the Bachelor of Commerce was successful commercially—the researchers' primary aim was to focus on improvement of student learning.
Although the Engineering students were the critical reference group (Wadsworth, 2000) at whom the research was ultimately aimed, the evaluation also involved another group of students: twenty-five third-year students studying a Managing Change course. These Managing Change students worked with the practitioners to gather the evaluation data about the student experience of learning online. In doing so, they were able to undertake experiential learning about change management.
Structure of courses and how the evaluation was facilitated
The collection of evaluation data was linked to assessment. Table 1 shows how the two courses were structured, how students were assessed and how the evaluation was integrated into the students' assessment.
Table 1: Structure of Courses and Generation of the Evaluation Data
An effort was made to ensure that potential barriers which could disrupt the trial were minimised:
Why were online lectures used?
The educational limitations of lectures, whatever the means of delivery, are well-documented. For Ramsden (1992), lectures tend towards the transmission or telling of facts. Online lectures would fit Laurillard's (1994) description of "text on-screen … and more unpleasant to read" (p.20) than text in a book (Laurillard, 1993). However, the decision to trial online lectures in place of the face-to-face lectures was based upon several reasons.
First, the evaluation of online lectures was the preliminary study to the redesign of the whole Organisational Behaviour course. The renewed course would be based on a rationale of learning activities to interact with the online lectures. This initial trial – of online lectures only – allowed one component of the planned fully online course to be trialled separately. This allowed the lecturer to progressively undertake the professional development required to understand what was involved in co-ordinating the design and delivery of a fully online course, including effective use of online communication to support student learning.
Secondly, the use of commercial resources dictated a 'lecture and topic' format and the decision to use Pearson's online content was pragmatic. Inglis et al (1999) recommend customisation of commercial online resources, rather than expending vast resources in creating one's own. This was certainly applicable to the Organisational Behaviour trial; there was not the time or financial resources to develop new online content (although a significant degree of customisation was required to contextualise the American materials for an Australian setting).
Finally, it was thought that using the lecture format would assist students and other stakeholders to make the transition (Bridges, 1966) to 'online'. Continuing the familiar educational approach of communication of theory (lectures) followed by formative self-assessment (online quizzes) provided a linkage between the known lecture-tutorial setting and the unknown environment of online learning.
Aim of the Evaluation
The aim of the evaluation was to establish whether lectures which used commercial online materials could adequately meet students learning and other needs. The evaluation of Pearson Education's Organisational Behaviour course was formative: it provided an opportunity to pilot some components of the future fully online course and inform its design. However, it was also to "address and illuminate the complex array of questions" (Patton, 1990, p. 119) involved in a change from face-to-face to online delivery.
Evaluation approach
The evaluation approach sits on the extreme participatory end of the evaluation of educational technology continuum (Oliver, 2000). The use of a practical form of action research (Kemmis, 2000) enables improved student learning through reflection on practice (Schon, 1987). Given the power relationship between the student and the academic, a key challenge to participatory action research remains: how is it possible to achieve genuine participation with students when they are the subject of the research? The decision for the practitioners to collaborate on the evaluation, with the Managing Change students "as part of a negotiated assessment task" (Phillips, Tripp, Rice, Bain and McNaught, 2000), aimed to make the evaluation truly learner-centred. The Managing Change evaluators, being students, were consideredto be free of any assumptions or bias that the practitioners may bring to the research. Any emerging theory "derived from the data" (Glaser and Strauss, 1967, Turner, 1983) was felt to be grounded in the true experience of the learners, the students studying the online lectures.
Data Collection and Stages of Analysis
Figure 1 shows how data was collected from the Engineering students and the stages of analysing this data. Managing Change students collected evaluative data directly from the Engineering students, using observation, interviews, questionnaires, focus groups and the study of online discussion logs. The data was then analysed according to the research aims established during each syndicate's project planning. Later, a former Managing Change student used the evaluation reports to summarise the data into themes. The academic then conducted subsequent analysis, informed by a wider study and research in phenomenographic literature.
The evaluation co-ordinator of the university's Learning Technology Services was invited to give a workshop with the eight Managing Change syndicates. This was based around a planning sheet for the students to design the what and how of their evaluations. The Managing Change curriculum emphasised evaluation as part of the change process. A collaborative action inquiry approach was encouraged by booking the computer lab, dedicated to engineering student use, opposite the Managing Change classroom. Timings were also co-ordinated so that each syndicate could meet their sample of about ten engineering students over lunch.
However Managing Change students , who had all previously studied Organisation Research Methods, were free to choose their research approach. Their aims covered technological, social, educational and organisational issues within the overall aims of the practitioner study. A range of research approaches was adopted with all but one syndicate combining quantitative and qualitative methods. These were also role played effectively using direct quotations in a presentation of the report. Other syndicates were able to make recommendations for improvement based on the highlighting of various issues. However most comprehensive and revealing of the underlying reasons for the non-acceptance of flexible learning by overseas students in particular, was the four cycles of action research carried out. This syndicate made up of overseas students also won the Pearson Education Award, negotiated by the practitioners as incentive for student involvement in the research.
Evaluation of the Findings by Managing Change Students
The evaluation reports by Managing Change students highlighted two main issues: firstly, the technological and logistical issues involved in a change of lecture delivery format, and secondly, the desire of students to learn through social interaction, especially organisational behaviour concepts which are social science based.
The student evaluation data was broadly categorised into themes relating to the technology and themes about the quality of teaching and learning. The technological themes included:
Themes around the teaching and learning quality were couched in different ways in the evaluation reports of the Managing Change students. These issues were categorised as follows:
As reported by the Managing Change students, the Engineering students' lack of theoretical understanding of organisational behaviour was seen, especially by international students, to be the result of a lack of interaction with a lecturer in a face-to-face setting. Related to this was the use of the discussion board. It was used primarily for posting comments about the experience of online learning, rather than for facilitating a discussion about organisational behaviour. In addition, the quizzes only encouraged students to skim-read the lectures in order to pick out the correct answers.
The significance of these findings, in terms of the emerging theories discussed below, can be seen in the degree and depth of learning for the various parties collaborating in this evaluation.
Contrasts in Learning
Learning by Engineering Students
As suggested by the evaluation data, the Engineering students did not gain a sufficient understanding of the organisational behaviour concepts, as is required to be able to generally apply this theory to practice. The quizzes, intended for formative self-assessment, did not test the development of such understanding. Although the discussion board also contained questions intended to prompt students to apply theory to practice, contributing to these discussions was optional. As the co-ordinator of the course, with no allocated 'teaching' time, the academic barely had time to respond to and act upon the comments about the experience of learning online, let alone the time to encourage and motivate students to actively participate in the discussion of lecture content. Ironically, the mentor did have more time to engage in the online discussions and respond to the concerns of the Engineering students, however the mentor was not a 'tutor' with expertise in organisational behaviour and did not feel it was appropriate to respond to questions about the online lectures.
The findings suggest that the Engineering students were reacting to changes from face-to-face to online delivery of lectures. From their perspective, the change removed the value of face-to-face lectures (the opportunity to interact, at least minimally, with a teacher). Further, this opportunity for interaction was not satisfactorily replaced with appropriate, online-assisted communication. In addition, many had to contend with technical problems and additional costs of printing (which, for the international students, were on top of tuition fees). Although the ability to be a self-directed learner is essential for a course delivered online, the Engineering students were not given assistance in developing of these skills; and it was acknowledged only in passing that self-directed learning was even required.
Despite the general acknowledgement by students of the flexibility afforded by the medium, these other factors appear to have led to a devaluing of the online experience by the Engineering students, who not surprisingly adopted a surface approach (Biggs, 1999) to learning. In the final examination, the students could reproduce answers to the multiple-choice questions, however, in the short essay questions, they generally had difficulty applying organisational behaviour concepts to practice, which is the key learning objective of the course.
Learning by Managing Change Students
The Managing Change students were able to learn deeply (Biggs, 1999) and actively (Revans, 1982, Pedler, 1997) about managing change through the experience (Kolb, 1984) of evaluating the change. The students' journals, reflecting on the experience of the evaluation, also documented the transformative learning (Mezirow, 1991, Cranton, 1999) that resulted from the experience. Managing Change students were able to shift from being teacher-centred to student-centred, as the course comprised working collaboratively in self-directed teams with the very close facilitation by the academic, and extremely detailed and regular peer and academic feedback. Several of the syndicates said that it was the most stimulating and intellectually challenging course of their university careers. The quality of the evaluation reports testify to this.
Learning by the Practitioners
For the practitioners, learning led to improved practice and was multi-levelled. Initially, learning for the practitioners was specific to managing the technological and administrative logistics of an online course. Student learning was espoused (Agryis, 1985) as the main objective of the evaluation. However, available time and energy was largely directed at managing the logistics of planning and delivering the first 'lecture only' stage of the course redesign (Creese and Kemelfield, 2000). This learning, as has been seen through this evaluation, was important because students' perception of such contextual issues does affect their approach to and outcomes of learning (Prosser and Trigwell, 1999). Once familiar with the logistical requirements of online delivery, the practitioners were then able to direct their attention to the more important issue of pedagogy.
The key transformational learning was the shift in the practitioners' understanding, whereby they could fully comprehend the meaning emerging from the student evaluation data. Namely, the students' need to understand concepts through social interaction and the value of appropriate, interactive use of the computer (Laurillard, 1993, 1994). The lesson here is that online content cannot be developed in isolation, without considering the process of interaction that leads to learning. The decision to conduct the full course redesign in stages, with the first stage focussing on lectures only, meant that the during evaluation the practitioners' focus was more on logistics than issues student learning. Interactive activities, designed to engage students in learning, were planned for the second stage of the full course redesign, but clearly should have been present even at this early stage, especially given the educational limitations of the lecture format.
Lastly, the practitioners' experiences are representative of the organisation's need to learn (Senge,1991) and better manage demands on staff. For an academic to concentrate on issues of teaching and learning, provision of sufficient resources is essential. In addition, there is a need to recognise that repurposing online content from a commercial provider does not necessarily provide time savings. The convenience of having Pearson's content in an electronic, 'ready-to-use' format was significantly outweighed by the problems of implementing this content into a non-compatible learning management system and the need to customise for the local context.
The type of transformative learning, experienced through the partnership between practitioners and the Managing Change students in this evaluation, is the ultimate aim for the redesign of the Organisational Behaviour course. Learning by the practitioners, as a result of the evaluation, has prompted cyclical improvements to the whole course redesign which have enabled this type of learning to occur through the building of collaborative virtual learning communities (Pallof and Pratt, 1999). The main learning activity has been the establishment of virtual peer learning teams as part of the 'classroom as organisation' model (Tyson, 1999).The case demonstrates the validity of using students as co-researchers to achieve a truly learner-centred evaluation—without the Managing Change students much of the practitioner learning would not have been possible. The pedagogical message to emerge from the evaluation data was that, technological issues aside, students want to understand concepts fully and need to do this through a process of social interaction. However the practitioners were initially too overwhelmed by logistics to be able to 'see' this. Once they were able to comprehend the implication of the student evaluation data, the practitioners could act. The organisational lesson of the evaluation is the need for sufficient support, in terms of resources, so that practitioners can concentrate on their teaching and educational vision during both the design and delivery of an online course.

What is a 'Time Deposit'
A time deposit is an interest-bearing bank deposit account that has a specified date of maturity, such as a savings account or certificate of deposit (CD). The funds in these accounts must be held for a fixed term and include the understanding that the depositor can make a withdrawal only by giving notice.
BREAKING DOWN 'Time Deposit'
A bank is authorized to require depositors to give 30 days' notice before withdrawing funds from a savings account; however, passbook accounts are typically considered readily available funds and account holders can make withdrawals without giving advance notice. Certificates of deposit (CD) are issued for a specified term, typically from 30 days (the minimum) up to five years. Although funds can be withdrawn from CDs without notice (on demand), there are penalties for early withdrawal.
Time deposits are lower risk investment mechanisms that provide a specified interest rate in return for leaving funds deposited for a specified amount of time. There are specific conditions surrounding the ability to withdraw the funds, including the use of penalties when the depositor makes an early withdrawal. It is due to this sacrifice of liquidity that banks offer favorable interest rates compared to most basic savings accounts.
Purpose of Time Deposit Accounts
Time deposit accounts provide banks the funds necessary to lend money to other individuals or entities. The bank makes a profit by lending the money held in the time deposit account to those seeking funds charging a rate higher than that being provided to the time deposit account holder.
Maturity and Interest Rates
Banks and other financial institutions can negotiate any maturity term (the length of the deposit) that a customer requests, as long as the term is a minimum of 30 days and interest is paid. Once maturity is reached, the funds can be withdrawn without penalty, or account can be renewed and held for an additional term. In most cases, the longer the term, the higher the interest rate is. For example, a one-year CD may offer a 1.10% APY, while a five-year CD for the same amount might provide a 1.75% APY. In addition, larger CDs (those with a higher deposit) generally offer more favorable interest rates.

This is HTC Vive, the Steam VR headset built by HTC and ValveHTC
HTC used its Mobile World Congress keynote to announce a partnership with Valve, and launch a VR headset called HTC Vive.
Before we talk about Vive, let's take a quick step back. HTC is known as a smartphone company and known best for its Android devices, so what's it doing mixing it up with a gaming VR headset?
Last October, HTC launched the Re camera. This portable camera was the first step in HTC looking beyond its smartphone portfolio, and looking to diversify its offering. HTC is moving into sports wearables with Under Armour, and gaming hardware with Valve.
The idea is that HTC can apply its great industrial design, and experience with sophisticated connected devices, to other areas.
Gamers who have been watching Valve will have heard that a Steam VR headset was teased for Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, which is running parallel with Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
HTC Vive is said to be the most immersive and most premium VR experience available. To avoid any confusion, this isn't related to smartphones at all - this isn't the equivalent of Samsung Gear VR - this is launching as the HTC Vive Developer Edition, the equivalent of Oculus Rift.
So this is a fully connected virtual reality device, but it's aiming to step beyond what's already on the market by introducing Full Room Scale.
What this means is that HTC Vive wants to offer more than the current VR experience which is often static (you sit/stand and move your head) and allow you to move around the room. The idea is that you can get up, walk, and move around virtual objects, with complete tracking of head mounted displays and controllers, so it's a step closer to the utopia of Star Trek's Holodeck.
HTC is also launching HTC VR Controllers, which operate as a pair and claim to offer a wide range of versatility, avoiding the confusion of conventional controllers.
There's still a lot that we don't currently don't know about HTC Vive, but Valve has confirmed that the Steam VR platform will running on the new headset and that there will be developer tools and support, so it's exciting times.
In addition to Steam VR, HTC told us that it would have a content platform too. For developers that doesn't make to much sense, but the good news is that a consumer edition of HTC Vive is in the works, aiming to launch for Christmas 2015.
The Vive Developer Edition will be launching in spring. You can expect to hear a lot more on Vive from both Valve and HTC, including details from the developers they are working with, including Vertigo Games, Bossa, Dovetail Games, Wemo Labs, Google, Steel Wool Games and Owlchemy.
Interestingly, when introducing the HTC Vive to us in Barcelona, Chet Faliszek, from Valve said "HTC will be the one releasing this year", suggesting that we'll see other manufacturers offering Steam VR hardware in the future.
For those who don't know, Chet Faliszek is credited with writing or co-writing the Half-Life 2, Portal and the Left 4 Dead stories. Think about that. Think about immersive Full Room Scale virtual reality, think about about how great those games are, and think about how awesome this could all be. Just don't think about the price it might cost.
We'll bring you more as soon as we have it.

Build Equity
Not only are mortgages one of the biggest financial commitments, they're usually the longest. If you're going to pay for something for years to come, then why not pay for something that invests in your quality of life and secures your financial future in your later years, not to mention having something to leave your children?
Equity is a home owners golden egg. Equity can be used to borrow against for almost anything! Equity value is defined by the cost difference between what you paid for your house and the value of your house today. Often, building a house can create instant equity and long term equity built up over years may enable you to invest and build wealth for a prosperous financial future.more

Local news stories affecting the auto body industry in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin
The city of Detroit recently shut down six businesses as part of its "Operation Compliance" program which aims to curb enterprises operating without proper permits.
The Building, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department joined police and fire departments in padlocking and sealing the entrances of six businesses—two auto repair shops, two tire stores, a junk yard and a wood-pallet company—accused of operating without proper licenses and permits.
"Our objective is to bring every business in Detroit into full compliance with the law," Mayor Dave Bing said. "Proper permitting and ordinance compliance is essential to operating a business in our city."
The initiative aims to close an average of 20 illegal businesses per week, Bing said. Police said they can be tied to illegal weapons, stolen goods or drugs.
"We are sending a message that if you are doing business in the city, you need to follow the law," said Nathan Ford, director of the Building, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department, in a statement.
The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers, Minnesota (AASP-MN) recently raised over $7,000 in its 2013 fundraising campaign to support the AASP-MN Automotive Education Fund.
The majority of money was raised at the association's annual Race for Automotive Education, held Jan. 15-16 at ProKart Indoors in Burnsville. The proceeds will fund scholarships for automotive students enrolled in NATEF-certified mechanical and collision repair programs in Minnesota.
During the course of the two-night event, 105 racers tore up the track in state-of-the-art European karts, reaching speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour. Many fans and spectators were also on hand to cheer their teams on. Twenty one teams of mechanical and collision repair shops and industry suppliers were represented.
ASA Michigan will host its next webinar on Feb. 6 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. The topic is "Paint Materials: How it is impacting your bottom line."
Attendees will learn an overview of the past eight years, how Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and other natural disasters affect pricing, what the government has identified as refinishing using the 6H/NESHAP rule and other regulations, the increased percentages of paint materials in estimates and how it may affect your net profit, the importance of a paint material inventory and what it can tell you monthly, paint material calculators, scales and using your vendors, and solutions toward recovery.

We all remember this epic holiday story of "It's A Wonderful Life" available multiple times during the holiday season.
ABRA Auto Body & Glass, a Minnesota-based vehicle repair company, acquired four more repair centers in two states.
In two separate transactions, ABRA acquired three Collision Plus Auto Body Repair Centers in southern Illinois just outside St. Louis, MO, and Ogden Auto Body in Utah. The deals boost ABRA's repair center portfolio to 136 and expands its national footprint to 15 states.
"This is our 16th acquired center of the year and our first step into Illinois and the St. Louis market," said Duane Rouse, President and Chief Executive Officer of ABRA.
2013 marks the 40th anniversary of Nagy's Collision Specialists in Ohio.
Dave Nagy founded the collision repair business at 12145 Whitman Rd. in Doylestown in 1973. His sons, Ron and Dan, bought the business from their father in 1995 and added multiple locations in Wooster, Wadsworth, Millersburg, Orrville, Akron and Ashland.
Nagy's will celebrate their anniversary all year long by offering numerous prizes and giveaways to their customers via Facebook and their website.
Nagy's offers services such as Autowatch, where customers can view their vehicles being repaired online, and e-Estimates, where customers can receive estimates at their homes or offices.
CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts recently added a new collision repair center to its network in Cleveland, OH. CARSTAR now operates a total of 25 collision repair facilities in Ohio.
CARSTAR's new location, Coach & Collision CARSTAR, is independently owned by Jeremy and Theresa Orsky.
As part of CARSTAR's network, Coach & Collision CARSTAR will have access to the company's management system and business tools, 19 corporately-managed direct repair programs (DRPs), and 45 corporately-managed purchasing programs.
"We are excited to welcome and Jeremy and Theresa Orsky and Coach & Collision CARSTAR to the CARSTAR network," said David Byers, CEO of CARSTAR.
"We are thrilled to expand our presence in Cleveland with this new top-notch collision repair center," Byers added.
CARSTAR operates more than 400 collision repair locations throughout 31 U.S. states and 10 Canadian provinces.
Subaru will expand production capacity at its existing assembly plant in Indiana, rather than build a new factory, and will start making a new model there in 2016.
Yasuyuki Yoshinaga, president of Subaru-maker Fuji Heavy Industries Inc., said Subaru expects U.S. sales to climb 9% to 365,000 units in 2013.
"We'll be selling 1,000 cars every day," he said. Global sales will rise 6% to 750,000.
Yoshinaga said he will release details of the capacity-expansion plan by March 31.
Tom Kellogg—the wholesale director for the Zeigler Automotive Group's 13 franchises in Grandville, MI—has been using PartsTrader the past several months as one of the first test markets in State Farm's PartsTrader program.
Kellogg has been with Zeigler since 2003 and in the industry since 1975. He says he wishes programs like PartsTrader would just go away.
"We all know that PartsTrader isn't the greatest thing out there," said Kellogg. "I don't know what I am going to do to stop it, because from what I understand, it's pretty much here to stay. We've got to figure out how to work around it. Not enough writing was done on it. It's just going to be the pathway of all things in the future to come. It's PartsTrader today, and tomorrow it's going to parts for you, parts for them, and pretty soon there's a plethora of third-party people involved in our business," he said.
Recently opening a new location in Chicago, CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts, North America's largest multi-shop operator network (MSO), expanded their presence in the Chicago market with the opening of West-Hill CARSTAR in Hillside, IL.
Owned by Joseph, John and Mark Esposito, West-Hill CARSTAR is located at 4907 Butterfield Road, in Hillside, IL. West-Hill CARSTAR has been family owned and operated since John Esposito founded it in 1960 and is a proud member of the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Illinois.
CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts, North America's largest multi-shop operator network (MSO), has announced the opening of Coach & Collision CARSTAR in Cleveland, OH, bringing the total number of CARSTAR locations in Ohio to 25.
Owned by Jeremy and Theresa Orsky, Coach & Collision CARSTAR is located at 1120 Brookpark Rd. in Cleveland. They offer auto body repair, glass repair, spray on bedliners, window tinting and mechanical service.
As a member of CARSTAR, Coach & Collision CARSTAR will offer an array of services and products for collision repair, including the latest in repair technology, rental vehicles, national warranties on repairs and turnkey service for customers.
The new CARSTAR store will benefit from the CARSTAR Management System, which provides resources to improve key business metrics such as cycle time, participation in CARSTAR's 19 corporately managed DRP programs, and improved purchasing power from 45 corporately managed purchasing programs.
ABRA Auto Body & Glass, a Minnesota–based vehicle repair company, announced Dec. 14 the acquisition of all five Collision Solutions locations in Indianapolis, IN.
The deal significantly expands ABRA's presence in the Indiana market and increases the total number of ABRA repair centers nationwide to 132 in 14 states.
The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of Minnesota, an association of nearly 640 independently-owned mechanical and collision repair shops and industry suppliers, works to improve the state's automotive service industry and the success of its members' businesses.
In 2012, AASP-MN passed legislation to increase the damage disclosure threshold for salvage title from 70% to 80% to allow for more vehicles to be repaired and fewer to be totaled. Other issues addressed this past year include: sales tax on paint and materials, "Right to Repair," insurer steering, DRP contract provisions for parts procurement, and air quality permits.
The Northern Michigan Body Shop Association kicked-off 2012 with Mike Anderson of Collision Advice presenting two topics to collision industry professionals. The first topic, "Educate, Not Alienate" encouraged estimators and technicians to "have the facts ready" when communicating with an adjustor, insurer, and/or customer. He explained that too often in this industry, emotions run high which tends to negatively affect the situation at hand; it's best to be prepared with the facts, data, and "bottom-line" to be knowledgeable regarding the issue when trying to make a point—you'll get much further when you have facts to back you up.

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies. What do you do?

Chance the Rapper is doing all of the right things. The celebrity father recently partnered with Lyft to provide funding for Chicago schools.
Under Chance's non-profit organization, SocialWorks, those Chicago residents who use Lyft can help the city's public schools by rounding their fare up to the nearest dollar. The extra amount goes to The Windy City's art programs, which suffer the most from municipal budget cuts to education.
ATTENTION CPS STUDENT FILMMAKERS pic.twitter.com/0u9fR0yX1W
— Lil Chano From 79th (@chancetherapper) May 23, 2017
"Through the New Chance Arts & Literature Fund, I'm committed to giving the kids in Chicago as much as I can," Chance the Rapper said in a statement. "And now with Lyft's Round Up & Donate, we can give them much more because the more we ride, the more we raise to bring more arts programs to Chicago Public Schools."
Chance has been destroying stereotypes concerning Hip Hop artists all year long with his generosity. The recording artist donated $1 million to the Chicago Public Schools Foundation earlier this year. His organization has also raised $2.2 million for 20 Chicago public schools.
"Funding for public schools is the single most important investment a community can make," Chance said last month.
"As a parent and proud product of CPS, I'm committed to helping Chicago's children have quality learning experiences that include the arts," he added. "Over the past month, I've crisscrossed the city, from Chatham to Chinatown, Humboldt Park to Hyde Park, visiting students and one thing is clear: if we invest in Chicago's children, we'll change the world."
