WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN AN AWARD FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING

“The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.”

“AS A COMPANY, WE BELIEVE WE TAKE BETTER CARE OF OUR CUSTOMERS WHEN WE ALSO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN. HELPING OUT DURING STEVEN’S DEPLOYMENT WAS A CHANCE TO PUT THAT BELIEF TO PRACTICE.” To us, these “favors” were simply the right things to do, and I honestly didn’t think twice about it. As a company, we believe we take better care of our customers when we also take care of our own. Helping out during Steven’s deployment was a chance to put that belief to practice. We don’t need a reward for doing it because knowing we stood by our people is reward enough. However, we were humbled and honored beyond belief when we heard that Steven had nominated us for a Patriotic Employer award from the U.S. Secretary of Defense. We had no clue he had done so until Brigadier General Seymour of the Georgia National Guard arrived at our office to present us with the award. Being honored with this award is one of the most meaningful events to happen to us recently. It’s a reminder that doing the right thing still holds weight in 2019. Most of all, this award means so much because the nomination came from Steven. That we were able to make his family’s life a little easier while he was making every American’s life safer is what really matters. It’s been amazing to see the response the award has generated around our office and on social media. I have to admit that it’s taken me a little by surprise. My philosophy is that a huge part of being a business owner is caring for your team. If you can’t do that, you’re not much of a leader. Thank you, Steven, both for your service and for nominating us for a Patriotic Employer award. We are honored and grateful to have you on our squad. –Morty Hodge

As many of you know, we take pride in employing America’s brave servicepeople. To us, it’s never been a question. Those who fight for our country are heroes in the truest sense, acting selflessly to defend our nation and ideals. If having these folks on staff requires holding their space and helping their families while they’re deployed, that’s a deal we’re willing to make every time. You can imagine our surprise when we were recognized for doing just that. One of our employees, Steven Holman, is also a proud member of the military. When he was recently deployed to the Middle East, we wished him well on his journey but certainly didn’t forget about him. While he was away, we wanted to do everything we could to help his loved ones back home. When their air-conditioning system faltered, we made sure to fix it — if we couldn’t do that, we better look for a new line of work! There was an issue with Steve’s military dental and vision insurance, so we covered his family members with our insurance. We also helped around the house by doing small projects and lending a hand where we could.

WILD DIVORCE SETTLEMENTS 3 Times the Division of Assets Got Out of Control

MIKROPOR MK SERIES COMPRESSED AIR DRYERS

Integrated Filtration and Reliable Performance

A compressed air dryer is an essential component of any air compressor system. As the pivot between the supply (intake) and demand (distribution) sides of a system, it has a huge impact on overall efficiency and quality. Mikropor’s MK Series of compressed air dryers offers great design, reliable performance, and easy maintenance, all of which provide you with energy cost savings and peace of mind. One the most eye-catching features of the MK Series is its integrated pre- and after- filtration system. Normally,

When you’re untying the knot, it’s important to be specific about the assets you hope to walk away with. These three over-the-top divorce settlements are good examples of what not to do when dissolving your marriage. YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDNEY ME Back in 2001, Dr. Richard Batista donated his kidney to his ailing wife, Dawnell, to save her life. Sweet, right? It was — until Dawnell filed for divorce in 2005 and Dr. Batista demanded she give back his kidney or compensate him for $1.5 million in damages. In the end, his request was thrown out in court because the kidney was a gift — and because removing it would be potentially fatal to his ex-spouse. A LIFE RENT IN TWO When Moeun Sarim and Vat Navy decided to divorce after 18 years of marriage, Moeun apparently decided that, to keep the split equitable, he and his wife should divide their assets in half — literally. Moeun and his relatives cut the home down the middle, dismantled his portion, and hauled it away. Vat’s half was left standing with one wall missing. ‘HERE, MY DEAR’ In the divorce agreement between the late Marvin Gaye and his ex, Anna Gordy, it was decided that Anna would be paid from the royalties of Gaye’s next album since he had gone broke from his lavish spending. At first, Gaye decided he’d phone in the production, but he quickly discovered an opportunity to make a unique artistic statement: “I’ll give her my next album, but it’ll be something she won’t want to play and it’ll be something she won’t want the world to hear because I’m gonna tell the world the truth.” In the end, the album was a commercial flop, though critics continue to praise its raw, emotional core.

a particle filter would be installed inline prior to the compressed air dryer, and an oil removal filter after it. Placing these filters within a system’s piping greatly adds to installation costs and increases the difficulty of maintenance and repair. The MK Series houses both of these filters, along with all of its digitally cycling air-drying components, in a single unit. The design allows technicians to replace filters quickly and easily, slashing your labor costs. In addition to this innovative, integrated design, all MK Series units come with a digital controller.
