+ = Rails Girls The year 2011-2012 at a glance railsgirls.com “I thought I was just going to a workshop where I would meet some people, score a SoundCloud shirt, and learn a few things about Rails. I had no idea I was stumbling right into a movement that was clearly set out to do something big! I think the entire attitude of the workshop is summed up with “Why the hell not!” Why shouldn’t I learn how to program? Why shouldn’t I make a career out of it? I think if any of us had doubts that we couldn’t do it, Rails Girls set us straight.” - Participant in Berlin Get excited and start things Rails Girls gives girls and women the first experience to building the Internet. We believe that coding is a craft much like any form of creation. Right now we have a lot more people using code than those who are influencing it. Technology is changing our society in profound ways and we don’t think these revolutions should be conducted by only the code- savvy. Introduction Rails Girls is a community that helps and encourages women to build their ideas by offering workshops all around the world. Founded originally in Finland in 2010 it quickly started spreading across the globe and to date we’ve conducted events in Shanghai, Singapore, Tallinn, Berlin, Krakow and Helsinki. A global volunteer community The two-day Rails Girls event is free and open to all enthusiastic girls and women. We are a fully non-profit operation with a small base-funding from Finnish Technology Industries Federation. -

March 1, 2016 Kimberly D. Pittman CBS Corporation [email protected] Re: CBS Corporation Incoming letter dated January 26, 2016 Dear Ms. Pittman: This is in response to your letter dated January 26, 2016 concerning the shareholder proposal submitted to CBS by the Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order. We also have received a letter on the proponent’s behalf dated February 25, 2016. Copies of all of the correspondence on which this response is based will be made available on our website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cf-noaction/14a-8.shtml. For your reference, a brief discussion of the Division’s informal procedures regarding shareholder proposals is also available at the same website address. Sincerely, Matt S. McNair Senior Special Counsel Enclosure cc: Paul M. Neuhauser [email protected] March 1, 2016 Response of the Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance Re: CBS Corporation Incoming letter dated January 26, 2016 The proposal requests that CBS adopt time-bound quantitative, company-wide goals, taking into consideration the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change guidance for reducing total greenhouse gas emissions, and issue a report on its plans to achieve these goals. We are unable to concur in your view that CBS may exclude the proposal under rule 14a-8(i)(7). In our view, the proposal focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and does not seek to micromanage the company to such a degree that exclusion of the proposal would be appropriate. Accordingly, we do not believe that CBS may omit the proposal from its proxy materials in reliance on rule 14a-8(i)(7). -

Development of Guidelines for Warm Forging of Steel Parts
Development of Guidelines for Warm Forging of Steel Parts THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Niranjan Rajagopal, B.Tech Graduate Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering The Ohio State University 2014 Master's Examination Committee: Dr.Taylan Altan, Advisor Dr.Jerald Brevick Copyright by Niranjan Rajagopal 2014 ABSTRACT Warm forging of steel is an alternative to the conventional hot forging technology and cold forging technology. It offers several advantages like no flash, reduced decarburization, no scale, better surface finish, tight tolerances and reduced energy when compared to hot forging and better formability, lower forming pressures and higher deformation ratios when compared to cold forging. A system approach to warm forging has been considered. Various aspects of warm forging process such as billet, tooling, billet/die interface, deformation zone/forging mechanics, presses for warm forging, warm forged products, economics of warm forging and environment & ecology have been presented in detail. A case study of forging of a hollow shaft has been discussed. A comparison of forging loads and energy required to forge the hollow shaft using cold, warm and hot forging process has been presented. ii DEDICATION This document is dedicated to my family. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to my advisor, Prof. Taylan Altan for accepting me in his research group, Engineering Research Center for Net Shape Manufacturing (ERC/NSM) and allowing me to do thesis under his supervision. The support of Dr. Jerald Brevick along with other professors at The Ohio State University was also very important in my academic and professional development. -
