For those in the US that have an extended weekend - enjoy the extra time with the ones you love. Do something special. Make memories.   For those elsewhere - hug the ones you love and enjoy your holidays when they come.     Independence Day was approaching and the teacher took the opportunity to teach her preschool class all about patriotism. She said to them, “You know, we live in a great country. And one of the best things about it is that we are all free.” At this, a little boy marched up to her from the back of the class, put his hands on his hips and said angrily, "I'm not free. I'm four."

Have a terrific weekend - Spend time with the ones you love.   A solar-powered computer wristwatch, which is programmed to tell the time and date for 125 years, has a guarantee—for two years.

For those in the northern hemisphere - enjoy the summer solstice.    "Meet my coworker, the Boy Who Cried, ASAP."   An intern was given $50 to the boss some lunch. Told to get himself something, he bought a t-shirt.

Have a terrific day...   Happy Flag Day ( in the United States)...     Professors define a kiss: Math: Two divided by nothing Physics: The contraction of the mouth due to the expansion of the heart Accounting: It's a credit because it is profitable when returned Economics: A thing for which the demand is higher than the supply Dentistry: It's infectious and antiseptic

Have a terrific weekend and enjoy time with the ones you love.     A farmer counted 196 cows in the field, but when he rounded them up, he had 200.     I put my root beer in a square glass. Now it’s just beer.   (remember last week - don't drink and derive)

Those those in the US, have a terrific long weekend. Everyone should spend sometime remembering those who died in service for their country. You could also go to many of the parks this weekend. Speaking of parks....   Why do mathematicians like parks? Because of all the natural logs.   ... also stay safe.... Why should you not mix alcohol and calculus? Because you should never drink and derive.

Title: Putting PLM and Company Data to Work for Optimal Analysis and Decision Making When: 29th May, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT Who: (Connor McNiff PLM Analyst, VF Corp, Vans Footwear) Abstract: As businesses strive to maintain year over year growth, production and operational analysis have become necessary to ensure optimal process and decision-making efficiency.

Have a great weekend. Get outside and enjoy the creation around you.   A photon checks into a hotel and is asked if he needs any help with his luggage. He says, “No, I’m traveling light.”   A neutron goes into a bar and asks the bartender, “How much for a drink?” The bartender replies, “For you, no charge.”

Have a terrific weekend. Spend time with the ones you love.   Never trust math teachers who use graph paper...... they are always plotting something.

Have a terrific weekend.

Have a terrific weekend. Enjoy some time out doors. Hugs the ones you love.   Powers of Concentration If there is one trait that best defines an engineer it is the ability to concentrate on one subject to the complete exclusion of everything else. This sometimes causes engineers to be pronounced dead prematurely. Some funeral homes in high-tech areas have started checking resumes before processing bodies. Anybody with a degree in electrical engineering or experience in computer programming is propped up in the lounge for a few days just to see if he or she snaps out of it.
