Designed and built in-house by our staff of engineers, this robotic “Drum Machine,” called the Gluing Gantry, ensures that every Evans head has a true collar. A series of vacuum fixtures holds the film in place for each head while the robotic gluing arm circles above the hoop and dispenses epoxy. The result is a drumhead that tunes both easily and consistently. At Evans, we do it right the first time. And every time.

The journey from wooden dowel to finished drumstick is a tough one. Each stick makes its way through the hands of several craftsmen before it leaves us. And at every test, there’s always the chance of getting turned into firewood. But it does get easier when our sticks reach the store. Because once you feel a pair in your hands, you’ll appreciate the time it spent in ours.

  • The Communication of Values, Beliefs, and Norms in Live Animal Interpretive Experiences: a Comparative Case Study
    THE COMMUNICATION OF VALUES, BELIEFS, AND NORMS IN LIVE ANIMAL INTERPRETIVE EXPERIENCES: A COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY Susan Charlotte Caplow A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Curriculum for the Environment and Ecology. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Pamela Jagger Lisa Campbell Charlotte Clark Elizabeth Dickinson Paul Leslie Peter White © 2014 Susan Charlotte Caplow ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Susan Caplow: The communication of values, beliefs, and norms in live animal interpretive experiences: a comparative case study (Under the direction of Pamela Jagger) Environmental education (EE) is one of the most important tools available to help promote pro-environmental behavior. However, encouraging pro-environmental behavior requires more than knowledge dissemination alone; EE programs frequently contain messages intended to cultivate environmental values, beliefs, and behavioral norms because these can facilitate the uptake of pro-environmental behavior. In particular, Live Animal Interpretive Experiences (LAIEs) can help encourage these types of shifts because emotional connections with animals can expand one’s sense of moral obligation to include caring for animals and the environment. My dissertation investigates three questions about LAIEs: 1) How does the institutional context frame messages on values, beliefs, and norms, and how do educators articulate them during LAIEs? 2) What values, beliefs, and norms do participants bring to the LAIE? 3) How do learners interpret LAIEs, and what are their post-program behavioral intentions? I compare LAIEs at three facilities with different institutional values, which is a novel contribution to the field that elucidates the relationship between institutional mission and the education program design, delivery, and interpretation.

  • Interview with the Goo Goo Dolls Front Man, John Rzeznik
    By Helen Marketti Interview with The Goo Goo Dolls front man, John Rzeznik On Thursday, August 22, The Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox Twenty will be at Blossom Music Center. This will be the fi rst time the two bands have ever toured together. John Rzeznik took a few moments to talk about The Goo Goo Dolls new album, current tour and the longevity of the band. “It’s been a long time since we played at Blossom,” said John. “It’s going to be great to play there again. I think the last time we were there we opened for the band, 10,000 Maniacs.” It may have been awhile since the Goo Goo Dolls have played at Blossom but their popularity has soared with a career that is nearing the thirty-year mark. “At fi rst when we started out, it was nothing I took seriously or something I did full time,” said John. “It was 1986 when we got together. We were more like hobbyists then. We had a little Indie record put out then we would be on the road for a couple months, come back home and return to our day jobs. It wasn’t until ‘95 when things really took off for us when our album, A Boy Named Goo came out and our single “Name” became a hit. I guess that is when you could say we became a professional enterprise and it all started happening. We may have never been the biggest band but we have always made a living, were able to have airtime on the radio and tour.” “When I was a kid we used to listen to AM Radio when it played music.

  • Medical Tourism: Treatments, Markets and Health System Implications: a Scoping Review
    Medical Tourism: Treatments, Markets and Health System Implications: A scoping review Neil Lunt, Richard Smith, Mark Exworthy, Stephen T. Green, Daniel Horsfall and Russell Mannion 1University of York 2London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine 3Royal Holloway University of London 4Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust 5University of Birmingham The opinions expressed and arguments employed here are the responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the OECD. Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs SUMMARY 1. The global growth in the flow of patients and health professionals as well as medical technology, capital funding and regulatory regimes across national borders has given rise to new patterns of consumption and production of healthcare services over recent decades. A significant new element of a growing trade in healthcare has involved the movement of patients across borders in the pursuit of medical treatment and health; a phenomenon commonly termed ‗medical tourism‘. Medical tourism occurs when consumers elect to travel across international borders with the intention of receiving some form of medical treatment. This treatment may span the full range of medical services, but most commonly includes dental care, cosmetic surgery, elective surgery, and fertility treatment. There has been a shift towards patients from richer, more developed nations travelling to less developed countries to access health services, largely driven by the low-cost treatments available in the latter and helped by cheap flights and internet sources of information. 2. Despite high-profile media interest and coverage, there is a lack of hard research evidence on the role and impact of medical tourism for OECD countries.
