1. The Seven Deadly Sins of
Business
Most businesses that fail do so because of their owners' "sins."
Usually, when businesses fail, it's not for lack of hard work. On the
contrary, most owners put in long hours. The problem is that owners
don't succeed for working hard; they succeed because they produce
results, plan ahead and optimize their resources. Working hard is no
guarantee of success.

Ultra-Compact Safety Laser Scanner Covers Up to 48
Zones
The new SZ Series, Type 3 Safety Laser Scanner from KEYENCE, allows
configuration of protection areas anywhere, even in complex-shaped
zones, dangerous areas as well as on Automated Guide Vehicles (AGV). A
built-in Muting function ignores specified areas of the protection zone
to allow passage. Targets can be reliably detected regardless of color
or surface finish. Its compact body (World's smallest) and light weight
facilitate fast, easy installation. Users can create protection zones up
to 4.2m (13.77') with a warning zone area projecting as far as
10m (32.80') from the scanner. Zones are easily configured and modified
during setup or changes with a PC and user-friendly SZ Configurator
Software. Keyence --- More info

4. Workplace Injuries Rise Following Change to
Daylight Savings
According to two Michigan State University researchers, workplace
accidents spike after daylight saving time changes every March.
Christopher Barnes and David Wagner, both doctoral candidates studying
industrial and organizational psychology, found in two separate studies
that the March switch to daylight saving time resulted in 40 minutes
less sleep for American workers, a 5.7 percent increase in workplace
injuries and nearly 68 percent more work days lost to injuries.
