Technology has raised the stakes since Franklin invented the lightning rod – lightning-sparked fires caused more than $1 billion in insured homeowners’ losses in 2010 alone, according to the Insurance Information Institute. The costs can be even higher for the oil and gas industry; a 2006 study published in the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries found lightning strikes are the most common cause of accidents involving storage tanks at refineries and petrochemical plants.

  • Corporate Matching Funds
    Increase the size of your gift with a Matching Gift! 1. What is a Matching Gift Program? 2. How does a Matching Gift Program Work? 3. Does it work? 4. List of companies that have Matching Gift Programs? 1. What is a Matching Gift Program? Many companies allow their employees to direct their charitable giving programs through matching gifts. When an employee notifies the company that he/she has made a charitable donation, the company will make a gift of the same amount, and in some cases double the amount, to the same charitable organization. Matching Gift Programs are a wonderful way for employees to make their charitable dollars stretch farther at no cost to themselves. Simply ask your company's human resources office for a matching gift form and we will do the rest! Below is a partial list of companies with matching gift programs. Even if you do not find your employer on this list, be sure to check with your human resources office, personnel department, or community relations office. 2. How does a Matching Gift Program Work? It is extremely easy to process. Gift matching procedures can vary from company to company. The following example is typical. 1. An employee/retiree gets a matching gift form from the employer, usually from the human resource department or company website. 2. After completing the form, the employee/retiree sends it along with the donation to the educational institution or nonprofit charity. 3. The nonprofit certifies on the form that it has received the gift and meets the company’s guidelines for receiving a matching gift.

It can be obtained through COSMIC (Computer Software Management and Information Center), Athens, Georgia, and is widely used by NASA, other government agencies, and industry. NASA currently provides continuing maintenance of NASTRAN® through COSMIC. Because of the widespread interest in NASTRAN®, and finite element methods in general, the Tenth NASTRAN@ Users' Colloquium was organized and held at the Marriott Hotel, New Orleans, May 13-14, 1982. (Papers from previous colloquia held in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1980, are published in NASA Technical Memorandums X-2378, X-2637, X-2378, X-2893, X-3278, X-3428, and NASA Conference Publications 2018, 2062, 2131, and 2151.) The Tenth Colloquium provides some comprehensive general papers on the application of finite element methods in engineering, comparisons with other approaches, unique applications, pre- and post-processing or auxiliary programs, and new methods of analysis with NASTRAN®. Individuals actively engaged in the use of finite elements or NASTRAN® were invited to prepare papers for presentation at the Colloquium.
