Help save energy between semesters with these tips

With many people off campus after final exams, the period between spring and fall semesters offers an opportunity to reduce campus energy consumption. To help conserve energy without impacting programs or services, Facilities Planning and Management asks everyone to take the following actions:

• Turn off computers, monitors, printers, peripherals and other non-essential office, classroom and laboratory equipment.

• Turn off all table lamps, general room lighting and other electrical items.

• Unplug and clean unused refrigerators; block the door slightly ajar to reduce odor buildup.

• Unplug chargers when they’re not charging. They draw energy whenever they’re plugged-in.

• Close shades, blinds and curtains during unoccupied periods. Encourage others to reduce energy use.

The key to energy conservation on campus is for everyone to participate. To review more energy-saving tips visit the sustainability website.

Simplicity rules!

FACT: Uncluttered signage achieves greater success.

Ideally, your display design should consist of just four main components:

1. A compelling photo and/or image
2. The what, when, where and cost
3. Event description (15 words or fewer)
4. Program or department name with contact info and web address (Websites can be used to direct the audience to more detailed information)

Keep it SIMPLE. Remember, your audience has only seconds to notice and process your message. Don’t make it difficult by cramming your digital sign with too much information. Creative Services can assist campus programs and departments in designing effective signage. To schedule a meeting with Creative Services visit www.uwlax.edu/universityrelations/CreativeServices/CreativeServicesHome.htm for contact information. For complete details for submissions to the UW-L digital signs visit www.uwlax.edu/its/digital-signs/index.htm.   What’s Happening In Dining Services Cartwright Center Galley:

Eat brain foods

We've all had those days when we just can't seem to concentrate. And while there's no magic pill to bring us back to the height of our cognitive powers, there are some foods that have been shown to improve brain function, protect against age-associated cognitive decline and encourage focus and clarity. Whether you are seeking brain foods for tests and homework, or just want to be your sharpest every day, here are some foods to help you do that:

• Berries. The latest research presented at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston found that blueberries, strawberries, and acai berries may help to decrease age-related cognitive decline by preserving the brain’s most important mechanism, which diminishes with age. This mechanism helps get rid of toxic proteins associated with age-related memory loss. Add berries into your diet in things like smoothies, cereal, yogurt, and salads.

• Omega Three. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and sardines are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, essential for brain function and development. These healthy fats have amazing brain power: higher dietary omega 3 fatty acids are linked to lower dementia and stroke risks; slower mental decline; and may play a vital role in enhancing memory.

• Nuts. Seeds. Chocolate. Nuts and seeds are good sources of the antioxidant vitamin E, which is associated with less cognitive decline as you age. Dark chocolate also has other powerful antioxidant properties. And it contains natural stimulants like caffeine, which can enhance focus and concentration. Enjoy up to an ounce a day of nuts and dark chocolate to provide all the benefits you need without excess calories, fat or sugar.

Fuel up on these types of foods to give the brain the best chance of avoiding disease and keeping you sharp on days when you need the extra boost!
