Virgin Pulse Opportunities
by Tezak, Samantha L. 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Good afternoon CPS, There are some updates to be aware of regarding Virgin Pulse points for the rest of this year. If you haven’t reached your 80,000 points yet, see below for ways of earning points. HEW is unable to offer Health Screenings or Voluntary Physicals in the clinic for the remainder of the fiscal year. If they receive Health Screening forms completed by outside doctors’ offices, they will accept them, but they discourage anyone from making a special trip to an outside healthcare office to get a screening. What about the 20,000 Virgin Pulse points for the Health Screenings, you ask? Don’t worry! If you have already earned them they are yours. If not, watch for many new (and easy) point-earning opportunities coming soon to help offset the Health Screening, including 10,000 points for the Argonne Health Pact. Join the Argonne Health Pact and earn 10,000 points. The link to the pact is in your Workday inbox. It will take up to 4-6 weeks for the points to be credited to your Virgin Pulse account. The 2020 4Life lecture, HEW113, is worth 20,000 Virgin Pulse (VP) points and can be found at: HEW113: Food for Thought: Everyday Eating for Wellness https://www.eshtraining.anl.gov/courses/HEW113/index.html The 2020 4Life lectures (1,000 VP pts for each lecture): Upcoming Blue Jeans lectures: HEW 20 Minute Seminar: Plant-Based diets July 2 12:15 pm – 12:35 pm https://bluejeans.com/167125572 Blue Jeans meeting 167 125 572 Past lectures are available online at: HEW113MAR: What to Do with a Sweet Tooth: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113MAR/splash HEW113FEB: Facts About Fiber: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113FEB/splash HEW113JAN: Plan Ahead for Healthy Meals https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113JAN/splash HEW113DEC: Winter Weight Gain https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBcT/HEW113DEC/splash HEW113NOV: Reading Food Labels November video: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113NOV/splash HEW113OCT: Fill Your Plate with Fall Vegetables October video: https://apps.inside.anl.gov/que/public/item/WBT/HEW113OCT/splash Watch Virgin Pulse for a Healthy Habit Challenge offered in conjunction with that month’s seminar. By practicing the healthy habit for 10 days in that month, you can earn an additional 500 points for the month! Virgin Pulse offers a health assessment tool<https://inside.anl.gov/services/health-assessments> asking you a series of questions including a heart health assessment and questions about nutrition in line with this year’s IWP focus. (10,000 VP points are awarded for completion of the assessment.) *************************************** Samantha L Tezak Executive Assistant, CPS Division Argonne National Laboratory 9700 S.

Good afternoon, Thank you to everyone who has already submitted a response for the GPU Questionnaire<https://forms.gle/ofpMGkj46nxofgaE7>. If you haven’t yet, please do so by COB Thursday. GPU@Argonne Committee, Tekin Bicer, Murali Emani, Nicholas Frontiere, Salman Habib, Paul Hovland, Ye Luo, Michael Papka, Jini RamprakashKatherine Riley, Michel Schanen, Valerie Taylor, Rajeev Thakur, Tim Williams, Xingfu Wu From: <cps-friends-bounces(a)lists.anl.gov> on behalf of CPS Division Office <CPSDivisionOffice(a)anl.gov> Date: Tuesday, June 16, 2020 at 3:15 PM To: "computing(a)anl.gov" <computing(a)anl.gov> Subject: GPU Questionnaire Good afternoon, On behalf of the GPU@Argonne Committee, we invite you to participate in this GPU Questionnaire<https://forms.gle/ofpMGkj46nxofgaE7>. GPU-accelerated systems will dominate the first generation of exascale platforms (e.g., Aurora at ALCF), and it is therefore essential for the CELS/Argonne computational community to rapidly build up expertise in the use of GPUs for HPC applications. Three slides for more background information are attached. The aim of this survey is to assess the current status of GPU-awareness, interest, and readiness within CELS (as a first step, before reaching out to the rest of the Lab). Please do take the time to fill out this short survey (less than 10-15 minutes) to help plan future activities of a hopefully vibrant GPU interest group; your input is very important!
