![]() If you miss-aligned the two pieces or you simply made a little mistake, then don´t stress out. Before that, you are still able to separate them with enough force. ![]() Once it is completely dry the glue pieces will hold together very well. You can continue working on your project but the glue will only be completely dry after about an hour. Then press them together and they should instantly stick together. Grap both of your pieces and carefully align them. When both layers are dry to the touch but still a little tacky its time to press the pieces together. So if you see, that the layer of glue, that you applied, is very light and is not really tacky, then simply apply another layer to the EVA Foam. Sometimes the glue is being absorbed by the EVA Foam (depending on the density of your foam). To use Contact Cement simply apply a small layer on both pieces, that you want to glue and let the layer dry for a few minutes. I personally prefer the gel simply because it is a little easier to apply. They both work well and cost almost the same. It doesn´t matter if you use the liquid or the gel variant of contact cement. You will need a lot of contact cement for almost all of your EVA Foam projects, believe me! Especially if you plan to glue large surface areas. It is also very accurate when gluing two pieces together. ![]() The glue is cheap, easy to come by (you can get it in every hardware or crafts store), and is easy to use. ![]() How do You Use Contact Cement for EVA Foam?Ĭontact Cement is the number one glue, that I use for gluing EVA Foam.

It's not uncommon for research institutions to pay upward of $1,000 for a single hour of supercomputer use, and sometimes more, depending on the hardware that's required.īut lately, rather than relying on big, expensive supercomputers, more and more scientists are turning to a different method for their number-crunching needs: distributed supercomputing. Supercomputer-dependent research is notoriously expensive. But that computing power comes at a price - literally. By crunching numbers and performing calculations that would take eons for us humans to complete by ourselves, they help us do things that would otherwise be impossible, like predicting hurricane flight paths, simulating nuclear disasters, or modeling how experimental drugs might effect human cells.

There is no rainfall expected in the coming days for the area, according to CNN meteorologists, but as of Tuesday evening, the forecast called for a chance of rain at the end of the week. Steeves said the possibility of wildfires spreading more quickly is increasing every day. “I am praying for any type of precipitation at this point, and I know everybody up here shares in that thought,” David Steeves with the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Renewables said in a news conference on Tuesday.

You don't have to change." That was a huge realization for me and it's really helped me become more comfortable with my approach.įrom the abstract of a paper on the relationship between impatience and procrastination, this caught my eye: That's just the way you are and it's working for you. Setting goals is the only way of achieving things, right? When I was criticizing my goalless approach to my therapist a few years ago, he looked at me and said, "It seems like you've done pretty well for yourself so far without worrying about goals. Update: Forgot to add: For the longest time, I thought I was wrong to not have goals. Obsessed with winning back market share, GM spent its dwindling finances on money-off schemes and clever advertising, trying to lure drivers into purchasing its unpopular cars, rather than investing in the more speculative and open-ended-and thus more uncertain-research that might have resulted in more innovative and more popular vehicles. ![]() Yet the plan not only failed to work-it made things worse. At corporate gatherings, and in internal GM documents, twenty-nine was the target drummed into everyone from salespeople to engineers to public-relations officers. Twenty-nine was also the number displayed upon small gold lapel pins, worn by senior figures at GM to demonstrate their commitment to the plan. Twenty-nine, the company announced amid much media fanfare, was the percentage of the American car market that it would recapture, reasserting its old dominance. As the Boston Globe reported, executives at GM's headquarters in Detroit came up with a goal, crystallized in a number: 29. The turn of the millennium found GM in a serious predicament, losing customers and profits to more nimble, primarily Japanese, competitors. One illuminating example of the problem concerns the American automobile behemoth General Motors. There is a good case to be made that many of us, and many of the organizations for which we work, would do better to spend less time on goalsetting, and, more generally, to focus with less intensity on planning for how we would like the future to turn out. It turns out, however, that setting and then chasing after goals can often backfire in horrible ways. An excerpt from the book about goals was published as a piece for Fast Company. Oliver Burkeman wrote about goals being potentially counter-productive in The Antidote, which is perhaps the book I've thought most about over the past year. This is my exact approach, which can drive the more goal oriented people in your life a little bit nuts. You could always set another one, but I just don't function in steps like that. It's just not how I approach things.Ī goal is something that goes away when you hit it. I do things, I try things, I build things, I want to make progress, I want to make things better for me, my company, my family, my neighborhood, etc. There are targets that would have been nice to hit, but if I didn't hit them I wouldn't look back and say I missed them. ![]() There are things I've wanted to do, but if I didn't do them I'd be fine with that too.
