Clickstop Hires 9 Employees, Announces Several Promotions
Urbana-based company increases its workforce as plans move forward to expand manufacturing operations.
URBANA, IA (PRWEB) November 02, 2016
Clickstop has announced nine new employees and several promotions over the past three months as a multimillion-dollar building project nears completion at its Urbana headquarters.
Clickstop, which owns and operates several brands, has begun moving into a more than 53,000-square-foot expansion that adds much-needed manufacturing and office space. US Cargo Control (USCC), the company’s largest division, specializes in sewing ratchet straps, cargo nets and other load securement products, and has plans to introduce tarps to its manufacturing capabilities by the end of the year.
USCC’s Manufacturing department hired April Kress and Sandra Hawes as members of its cargo net team, while Amber Singer joined the company as a manufacturing associate. Seth Gibbs moved from a receiving and inventory control leader in Operations to a manufacturing support associate. After working in a part-time capacity since January 2015, Todd Clark was promoted to a full-time manufacturing support associate. Aurora Reed, who was hired part-time in July 2015, is now a full-time manufacturing associate.
Also in Manufacturing, Jamie Farmer switched jobs, from a manufacturing associate on the cargo net team to a tarp manager. The new building grows the manufacturing floor by 20,000 square feet, allowing for the production of flatbed trailer tarps.
The Operations team welcomed James Paulson as a small package shipping specialist, along with Andrea Smith as a packaging specialist. Kris Reed moved from a less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping associate to a receiving and inventory control specialist. Zach Rechkemmer and Heather McVey, who both started at Clickstop in January, have taken on new roles: Rechkemmer transitioned from a small package shipping associate to an LTL shipping specialist, and McVey moved from a packaging specialist to a packaging quality control specialist.
Kara Roehr has been named a forecast analyst in Business Intelligence. She most recently was a freight and export compliance specialist on the USCC Operations team.
In Sales and Marketing, new hires include: Gage Sagert, sales specialist; Amanda Morgan, content writer; and Bri Else, graphic designer. Lacy Curtis, who started as a sales specialist with the company in January 2015, has been named a business development account manager. David Urlaub, a member of the Sales and Marketing department since 2011, has accepted the newly created rigging and lifting specialist position also within the business development teams. In addition, Eric Youngblood is now an internet marketing specialist for USCC after holding the same title for Clickstop’s suite of smaller brands.
Under the overall Clickstop brand, the Culture and Communications team brought on Zach Smith as a culinary director. Formerly an executive chef with Sodexo in Cedar Rapids, he will further develop the company’s food service program. A state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, cafeteria and pub are part of expansion designs.

GRAPES-3 Telescope Indicates Crack In Earth’s Magnetic Shield
The GRAPES-3 muon telescope located at TIFR’s Cosmic Ray Laboratory in Ooty recorded a burst of galactic cosmic rays of about 20 GeV, on 22 June 2015 lasting for two hours.
The burst occurred when a giant cloud of plasma ejected from the solar corona, and moving with a speed of about 2.5 million kilometers per hour struck our planet, causing a severe compression of Earth’s magnetosphere from 11 to 4 times the radius of Earth. It triggered a severe geomagnetic storm that generated aurora borealis, and radio signal blackouts in many high latitude countries.
Earth’s magnetosphere extends over a radius of a million kilometers, which acts as the first line of defence, shielding us from the continuous flow of solar and galactic cosmic rays, thus protecting life on our planet from these high intensity energetic radiations.
Numerical simulations performed by the GRAPES-3 collaboration on this event indicate that the Earth’s magnetic shield temporarily cracked due to the occurrence of magnetic reconnection, allowing the lower energy galactic cosmic ray particles to enter our atmosphere.
Earth’s magnetic field bent these particles about 180 degree, from the day-side to the night-side of the Earth where it was detected as a burst by the GRAPES-3 muon telescope around mid-night on 22 June 2015. The data was analyzed and interpreted through extensive simulation over several weeks by using the 1280-core computing farm that was built in-house by the GRAPES-3 team of physicists and engineers at the Cosmic Ray Laboratory in Ooty.
This work has recently been published in Physical Review Letters
Solar storms can cause major disruption to human civilization by crippling large electrical power grids, global positioning systems (GPS), satellite operations and communications.
The GRAPES-3 muon telescope, the largest and most sensitive cosmic ray monitor operating on Earth is playing a very significant role in the study of such events. Reported by Eurasia Review 3 hours ago.

Crack in Earth's magnetic shield detected
The world's largest and most sensitive cosmic ray monitor, located in India, has recorded a burst of galactic cosmic rays that indicates a crack in the Earth's magnetic shield, according to scientists.
The burst occurred when a giant cloud of plasma ejected from the solar corona struck Earth at a very high speed causing massive compression of the Earth's magnetosphere and triggering a severe geomagnetic storm.
The GRAPES-3 muon telescope located at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research's Cosmic Ray Laboratory in Ooty in Tamil Nadu recorded a burst of galactic cosmic rays of about 20 GeV last year lasting for two hours.
The burst occurred when a giant cloud of plasma ejected from the solar corona, and moving with a speed of about 2.5 million kilometres per hour struck our planet, causing a severe compression of Earth's magnetosphere from 11 to 4 times the radius of Earth.
It triggered a severe geomagnetic storm that generated aurora borealis and radio signal blackouts in many high latitude countries, according to the study published in the journal Physical Review Letters this week.
Earth's magnetosphere extends over a radius of a million kilometres, which acts as the first line of defence, shielding us from the continuous flow of solar and galactic cosmic rays, thus protecting life on our planet from these high intensity energetic radiations.
Numerical simulations performed by the GRAPES-3 researchers, including Pravata K Mohanty, indicate that the Earth's magnetic shield temporarily cracked due to the occurrence of magnetic reconnection, allowing the lower energy galactic cosmic ray particles to enter our atmosphere.
Earth's magnetic field bent these particles about 180 degree, from the day-side to the night-side of the Earth where it was detected as a burst by the GRAPES-3 muon telescope around mid-night on 22 June 2015.
