Sitting on the floor in a corner of the control room was a dummy Tony Martin. It’s been used to test airflow over the rider and the effect of different fabrics on drag. Some fabrics present less drag than others – and the result is different dependent on the air speed and factors such as the curvature of a rider’s back. Even socks can make between 5W and 10W difference.
Adding a gas mixer can also benefit the cutting of mid-thickness mild steels. This range may include 11-gauge, 7-gauge, 1/4 in., and 3/8 in. materials that were previously cut using oxygen with a CO2 laser. Now with the advantages of high wattage fiber lasers, these materials can be cut with nitrogen or, better yet, with a mix of gases. As previously mentioned, this can result in a 20–30% increase in feed rates with as much as a 70% reduction in the consumption of assist gases, compared to conventional fiber nitrogen cutting. This advanced cutting solution is achieved through nozzle techniques as well as gas purity levels and flow rates.
P.S. tell the HaD Brits here to pronounce SCHOOL before we stubborn benighted Yanks say A-LOU-MIN-EE-UM :p
Husband-and-wife run Venture Quality Goods (3571 Mt. Diablo Blvd.) manages to appeal just as much to the guys as to the ladies, thanks largely to its selection of clothing that’s often as fashionable as it is functional. Soft button-downs made in California, selvedge denim jeans, and sturdy Red Wing boots make for all the strappings of an urban lumberjack, and for the ladies, trusty Patagonia pairs well with a bit of bling from local designers. For those hard-to-shop-for people on your list, a quilted blanket depicting the bay coastline or print depicting the Lafayette Reservoir’s signature water tower make for easy yet unexpected gifts this holiday season. // It’s hard not to fall in love with Farmyard Darlings (20 Lafayette Cir.) when you first enter, in part because of its barn-esque location but mainly due to the welcoming, gregariousness nature of owners Carole Sinclair and Kim Berry (the original "darlings") and staff. Although known as the undisputed local resource for reclaimed wood barn doors, the shop also serves as the perfect place to add a smaller dose of country to your decor, whether its vintage glassware, old-school signs, or rustic cowhide flasks. // Interiors and home goods store Indigo & Poppy (1009 Oak Hill Rd.) can not only help you completely overhaul your home decor, but also offers small delights and accent pieces to give it a less dramatic tune-up. Swing by to pick up colorful printed throw pillows, blown-glass vases, or a modern bar cart, or go big with a new tufted couch, velvet-accented dining room set, or statement chandelier. // You won’t find better boozy recommendations or customer service in town than at Wine Thieves (3401 Mt. Diablo Blvd.), which has been offering premium vino at reasonable prices to Lamorinda residents for just shy of two decades. In addition to its selection of wine, craft beer, and premium spirits, Wine Thieves hosts Friday night tastings (5–7pm, $5, free for members); meet the winemaker and food and wine pairing nights; and a monthly wine club, when two bottles (price point and red vs. white dependent on your tier) are released to members. // Berkeley-based Amphora Nueva also has a Lafayette location (7 Fiesta Ln.), where people can not only find premium olive oils and vinegars, but also charming gift sets (that make for perfect wedding gifts), educational classes, and accessories such as stainless steel pour spouts for serious olive oil devotees. Olive oil and vinegar pairing guides and the freedom to sample any of the wares take the guesswork out of making the best choice from the extensive selection.

Groundhog Day all over again. But with caveats this time. Oil was a huge political issue 10 years ago "Drill baby, drill!" but big breakthroughs in alternative energy sources have brought in serious competition regardless of the newly discovered oil fields and advanced methods for extracting it. Consider that prior to 2015 selling domestically produced oil to foreign countries was a no-no. After the 40-year ban on prohibiting sale of domestic oil was repealed (and signed by Barack Obama) the race was on to drill and sell more oil, compete with OPEC and if the market began plunging due to economic downturn (a given) the oil behemoths can always stick it to the American consumers (who else)?

“You can’t vent about microaggressions to your white counterparts at work. You have to go and find somebody else who will understand and who will empathize with you. It’s tough. In my tenure at Vogue, in the department I worked, I was the only one of color who was there full time.”—Brittany Daulton, former special events manager, Vogue
EuroBlech also provides the opportunity to see concepts and ideas, and it is healthy to see how many customers that visit EuroBlech, implement these ideas in their factories in South Africa. EuroBlech will always be one of my favourite exhibitions and I will certainly continue visiting Hannover for many more years to come.
