SERC - 3rd Place
Reports are that Vanderbilt placed 3rd Overall at the Southeast Regional. That makes USF in 1st, Florida in 2nd and Vandy in 3rd. No word if these are "Official Qualifications" as there are Tech. Paper / Business Meeting considerations that have to be met...but purely performance based, these are the Southeast's Top 3. Well done!
Disappointing footwear from Bata!
During my younger days, Bata was known to make good quality shoes. Now, the quality has deteriorate so much that they may be worse than those you pay much less. Or is it an issue of poor quality control?
I bought this pair of sandal and used it for about a month. You can see the tear right through the centre...
I went back to the Bata centre and was told that "this batch" received a lot of complain in W.M.
Apparently, I don't get a replacement pair because I think Bata can't afford a "recall". As for me, I think this is the last time I will buy any sandal from Bata. The quality is simply too disappointing.
In another country where consumer's right is strong, they will replace with no question asked.
Do you have similar experience? I made a complain at Bata Facebook and they made no attempt to reply.
Update: Bata did reply to me via their FB after I wrote on their fb wall. Good of them as ignoring complain, whoever is right/wrong is not a good idea.

The other featured competition is Steel Bridge. “The Steel Bridge team did an outstanding job working on a beautiful 20-foot long structure that they designed, built—welded, sawed, ground, sandblasted—and finally assembled,” said Paul Cosentino. Anthony DeAbreu and Alex Armstrong, civil engineering seniors spearheaded this effort.
Faculty members Paul Cosentino, civil engineering, and Al Bleakley, construction management, accompanied the students.
