Also the headline of “Cyclists Use Tiny Motors to Cheat” is a little misleading as it makes it sound like a commonplace thing. So far one person, a female cyclist in an under 23 cyclo cross race called Femke Van den Driessche has been caught.
Trump campaigned on infrastructure, calling our airports third world compared to other countries (he’s right!). Trump wants an infrastructure bill, but the 4 stooges (Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, and Charles Schumer) won’t send him an infrastructure bill to sign. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama had 24 years to build infrastructure projects, but now our aging infrastructure is all Trump’s fault? Delusional!
However, the ACCC says, those discounts were applied to Click Energy’s market offer rate — which were higher than the power company’s standing offer rates.
“There are so many brands on Instagram that claim they want to be part of the diversity movement. And then you scroll down past two months and there is no diversity. That’s when one has to ask: Are these brands really about diversity, or are they jumping on the bandwagon because right now, ‘diversity’ is extremely lucrative. Especially after witnessing the Fenty [Beauty] phenomenon.”—Rajni Jacques, fashion director, Teen Vogue and Allure
Weiler Abrasives Group (Cresco, PA), a provider of abrasives, power brushes, and maintenance products for surface conditioning, announced the expansion of its resin fiber discs (RFDs) offering to include five new products for varying performance requirements: Tiger Ceramic, Zirc and Aluminum, and Wolverine Zirc and Aluminum Oxide. These discs are designed to provide an aggressive cut rate and a smooth finish on tool steel, aluminum and any material in between. The products are said to be ideal for heavy stock removal, edge chamfering, weld blending, grinding, and surface preparation and finishing. Tiger Aluminum resin fiber discs are well-suited for grinding, blending and finishing. The discs reduce heat buildup to delay melting and prevent the disc from loading, resulting in higher cut rates, a long life and a superior finish, according to Weiler Abrasives.
“When I started here, we just stocked a little bit of everything. We maybe had two or three cases of glass,” Hatch recalls. “Now, we have hundreds. We just kept adding racks.”
Only reason solder melted was due to the container. A lot of electronics don’t like being in a strong EM field. Would take a lot of energy.
Lincoln Electric (Cleveland) previewed the new $30 million Lincoln Electric Welding Technology & Training Center, which began operations in late 2017. The train-the-trainer school houses nearly 200 welding booths and expanded facilities for professional development—including for school instructors, industrial trainers, and welding design engineers. On display was the Power Wave R450 equipped with Lincoln Electric’s Waveform Control Technology. The portfolio of welding modes includes MIG, TIG, flux core, and advanced pulse modes specific for nickel, stainless and low- and high-alloy steel as thin as 0.6 mm. Rated for 450A at 100% duty cycle, the Power Wave R450 offers fast travel speeds, low spatter generation, and excellent gap bridging capability, making it well-suited for robotic power sourcing for automotive, heavy-fabrication, and general fabrication environments, according to the company. Engineered with Lincoln Electric’s ArcLink, a robotic communications interface, the Power Wave R450 provides simple plug-and-play capability with leading robot manufacturers including FANUC, Yaskawa, ABB, and Kuka.

Some people are allergic to copper. Seriously. We must remove our houses of this highly dangerous metal! And replace it all with clean hypo-allergenic glass!
Murata Machinery USA Inc. (Charlotte, NC) introduced the LS3015GC fiber laser. It features an integrated flying optics system, enabling it to cut through both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and bronze. The LS3015GC also offers a smaller footprint and upgraded drive system and is expected to be an economical laser-cutting solution. Murata demonstrated how its intelligent control system delivers condition uptime data and projects cost implications.
A broad range of technologies – robotics, smart buildings and intelligence integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) applications – have the potential to significantly disrupt traditional ways of working in inventory and warehouse management, enterprise asset management, facilities maintenance, logistics and production capabilities.
