President Trump Announces Deal with Mexico and Suspends Tariff Plan
The buck on tariffs for imported cars and car parts stops at the Oval Office—and after delaying a decision earlier this spring, President Trump now claims Mexico tariffs won't be necessary.
By Alexander Stoklosa
Mario TamaGetty Images
Donald Trump said he would wait up to six months before he decides whether to impose tariffs on imported cars and car parts, Automotive News reported in mid-May.
The decision had been expected on Saturday, May 18.
Putting a 25 percent tariff on car imports has been unpopular with carmakers, politicians on both sides of the aisle, and much of the public.
UPDATE 6/7/19: President Trump, via Twitter, has announced that the United States and Mexico have "reached a signed agreement" and that the tariffs he had threatened to impose against Mexico "are hereby indefinitely suspended." The Washington Post called it a "deal on trade and migration." We will continue to update this story as more details become available.
I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico. The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended. Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 8, 2019
President Trump has a lot to tweet about when it comes to tariffs, imports, China, and the like, but he is reportedly waffling on his intention to slap a 25 percent tariff on imported cars and car parts. In fact, multiple news sources are reporting, he will wait up to six months to make a final decision on the matter; originally, the promised tariffs were to be decided on by May 18.
Tariffs will make our Country MUCH STRONGER, not weaker. Just sit back and watch! In the meantime, China should not renegotiate deals with the U.S. at the last minute. This is not the Obama Administration, or the Administration of Sleepy Joe, who let China get away with "murder!"
The delay is sure to be welcomed across the board. A permanent tabling of the idea would be even more popular, because another six months of deliberations will merely drag out the auto industry's uncertainty about how things will play out. (Uncertainty doesn't mix well with the sort of long-term planning required to develop, build, and eventually sell new cars and trucks.) Automakers, then, have lobbied Trump to abandon the tariffs altogether; so, too, have Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
Why? Because a tariff is essentially passed on to consumers—people who live in districts represented by the whole of the political spectrum—in the form of higher prices. Not only could John and Jane Q. Car Buyer have to pay 25 percent more for their imported car, John and Jane Q. Automaker could also have to pay 25 percent more for foreign-made parts, a cost that, again, will most likely be passed on to John and Jane Q. Car Buyer.

While Trump cites patriotic motives and has even played the "national security" card, the issue isn't as black and white as "Buy American!" The president and his team are operating on the simple logic that tariffs on imported cars and car parts would punish foreign makers, to the benefit of those brands that call America home. In pushing this narrative, the administration is either willfully ignorant of or misinformed about the reality that a great many domestic car brands source their vehicles and parts from outside the U.S. So if you think that Ford, General Motors, or Fiat Chrysler products won't be affected by the tariffs, think again. Need we remind you of the list of the most American cars and trucks you can buy, as determined by parts content? Or how about the numerous foreign brands that build cars here in the U.S., in some cases exporting those vehicles to other markets?
Automotive News, citing unnamed sources, said the delay is due to Trump's unwillingness to "further antagonize allies as he ramps up his trade war with China." The publication also said the Republicans are "threatening to move forward with legislation to limit the president's tariff authority, with many in Congress saying duties on cars, which are widely opposed by the auto industry, would be a step too far." However this is decided, it is certain the auto industry—and car buyers—need to pay very close attention.

911 Operator Is Now Available on Nintendo Switch!
October 26th, 2018 | Author: Shaun
Warsaw—October 26, 2018—SONKA today announced that the popular emergency response strategy sim 911 Operator is available now on the Nintendo Switch. Specifically redesigned to optimize play on the Switch, 911 Operator features scenarios in over 900 cities worldwide, with real layouts and infrastructure, and also includes the DLC pack First Response. Launching alongside the base game are two additional expansion packs, Special Resources and Every Life Matters, which add new items, events, conversations, and more adrenaline-pumping content. 911 Operator is priced at $14.99, with DLC packs priced at $3.99 and $5.99, respectively. A bundle containing all three is available for $22.
In this high pressure emergency response sim, players assume the role of a 911 dispatcher who must rapidly deal with incoming reports. Your task is not just to pick up the calls, but also to react appropriately to the situation: sometimes giving first aid instructions is enough, at other times a police, fire department or paramedic intervention is necessary. The person on the other end of the line may be a dying daughter's father, an unpredictable terrorist, or just a prankster.
911 Operator lets you put your patience and management skills to the test, whether you're eager to save lives on the go or want to give out orders from the comfort of your couch with a Pro Controller. The Free Play mode lets you choose a city to play with real streets, addresses and the emergency infrastructure, or attempt the Career mode, which contains six cities with unique events, including surviving an earthquake in San Francisco and saving Washington, D.C. from bomb attacks. Deploy emergency response teams from the police, fire department and paramedic units at your disposal, such as a variety of vehicles from common ambulances to police helicopters, essential equipment like bulletproof vests, first aid kits and technical tools, and specialists with specific abilities.
Key features of the game include:
The opportunity to play in over 900 cities worldwide!
Expansive Career mode, featuring unique calls and events
Switch-exclusive World Map feature optimized for console gameplay
More than 140 types of reports to encounter
12 types of emergency response vehicles, including helicopters, police cars or motorcycles
Real first aid instructions
The Every Life Matters and Special Resources expansion packs add even more challenges to the game, with new equipment, game mechanics and situations. In Every Life Matters, operators are tasked with containing riots in Boston and keeping the Miami summer festival under control in Campaign mode, or dealing with events in Free Game mode. Use the new reinforcements function to summon new units and take advantage of two new vehicles and pieces of equipment designed especially for these events.

Harvard's RoboBee can handle water better than a real bee
By Duncan Geere published 26 October 17
The buzz around it is growing
A couple of years ago, I reported on a robotic bee being developed at Harvard. The team there had shrunk the tiny bot down smaller than a paperclip, and given it the ability to navigate through water, but there was a problem – it couldn't get back up into the air again.
Recently, however, the team has made a breakthrough that allows the robot to once again take flight. The microrobot, which weighs less than a gram, has been equipped with floating devices that enable it to stabilize on the water's surface before an internal combustion system shoots it back into the air.
"We designed new mechanisms that allow the vehicle to directly transition from water to air, something that is beyond what nature can achieve in the insect world," said Yufeng Chen, who was a graduate student at the Microrobotics Lab at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences when the research was conducted.
"This is the first microrobot capable of repeatedly moving in and through complex environments."
Ignite the Fuel
The mechanism is reasonably simple. The robot has a central gas collection chamber with a electrolytic plate that converts water into oxyhydrogen - a combustible fuel. To take off, all it has to do is ignite that fuel and ride the resulting tiny explosion into the air.
"Because the RoboBee has a limited payload capacity, it cannot carry its own fuel, so we had to come up with a creative solution to exploit resources from the environment," said Elizabeth Farrell Helbling, graduate student in the Microrobotics Lab and co-author of a paper describing the technology published in Science Robotics.
"Surface tension is something that we have to overcome to get out of the water, but is also a tool that we can utilize during the gas collection process."
Three Times the Payload
To fit the gas chamber, plates, sparker and floats onto the robot, it had to be redesigned to be able to lift more than three times the payload of the original RoboBee. It now weighs about 0.18 grams, almost twice the previous design.
The only limitation at the moment is that a lack of on-board sensors means that the RoboBee can't fly immediately after jumping out of the water. The team aims to fix that with future research.
"We hope that our work investigating trade-offs like weight and surface tension can inspire future multi-functional microrobots – ones that can move on complex terrains and perform a variety of tasks," said Chen.

A blog about Business Ethics by Chris MacDonald, PhD
Encyclopedia of Business Ethics
Why $100-million Is Too Much
Filed under: accountability, boards, CEOs, compensation, corporations, energy, governance |
It was widely reported yesterday that former CEO of Nabors Industries Ltd., Gene Isenberg, will be the recipient of a $100 million severance payment. Except, he's not leaving the company — he's staying on as Chairman of the Board. Confusion and criticism has ensued.
For the most part, I think that executive compensation, even outlandish executive compensation, is in principle a private matter. If a bunch of shareholders want to pay their CEO a gazillion dollars — whether because they think he's the one guy who can build long-term value or because they just think he's a swell guy — well, that's none of my business. I may think those shareholders are fools, or spendthrifts. But there's little reason for me to be morally concerned. I don't tell you how much to spend on your babysitter or your dry cleaning or your car. And I shouldn't tell you how much to spend on your CEO.
In principle.
But two factors get in the way of applying my in-principle argument to the present case.
One factor begins with the observation that shareholders don't, in fact, generally make the decisions regarding how much total compensation the CEO gets. That task is delegated to the Board of Directors, who in turn generally delegate it to their Compensation Committee. Now again, in principle, this is purely a private matter. If the Board isn't serving the shareholders well, the shareholders have cause to complain, and (yet again, in principle) they can always fire the Board if they feel sufficiently poorly served. But we have ample evidence that shareholders very often aren't well-served by boards. Add to that the fact that proper functioning of corporate governance (and hence of capital markets) is clearly a matter of public concern, and you have at least the beginnings of a public-interest argument for interference in what would otherwise be a private matter.
The other reason why excessive pay isn't always a purely private matter has to do with the government's (i.e., the public's) role (and support of) an industry. Note, for example, that Nabors is an oil-drilling contractor. So the $100 million that Isenberg is getting isn't merely a share of privately-gained profits. It's a share of the profits from a heavily-subsidized industry.
So boards of directors do have some public obligations related to how they choose to compensate executives (even if, as I've argued before, outsized compensation isn't automatically unfair). Corporate directors are not just part of private institutions; they're part of a system justified, in part, by its public benefits. And the more they seek to gain private benefits in the form of subsidies, the greater their obligations to the public become.

I think you disagree with this diamond studded golden handshake, though you hedged your language carefully and appear slightly non-commital.
Anyway, I take issue with your two reasons.
First, concerning your "boards don't serve shareholders well" reason, to accept this as a reason in this case, you'd have to show that, in this case, the board isn't serving its shareholders well. Now maybe the board isn't serving the shareholders well – if one bought this stock a decade ago, they'd be by some measures worse off. But you haven't told us why the board isn't serving its shareholders here, and, anyway, the shareholders are best suited to answer this question (much of its stock is owned by sophisticated institutional investors).
Two, concerning your "this industry is heavily subsidized, thus this industry can't pay employees inane wads of cash" reason, well, again, this isn't yet a reason. Why does being publicly subsidized mean that corporations lose autonomy? How much was Nabor actually subsidized? Is this industry's subsidization the correlative to the heavy tax burden this industry carries? Even with this big cheque paid, would the government be worse off but-for Nabor? Do governments care about this? I'd like to see these questions answered before proposing a sweeping generalization (your second reason).
But, again, you only alluded to this golden handshake being unacceptable, so I half expect a response saying that questions about the particulars of this case don't matter, because you weren't applying your two reasons to this case particularly.
Chris MacDonald on November 2, 2011
Kirk:
Of course I'm hedging; it would be irresponsible to do otherwise. This is short-form commentary, not investigative journalism. I can't possibly evaluate whether, in fact, Nabors' board has served its shareholders well over the last decade(s).
But two quick points:
1) The overwhelming majority of informed opinion is that boards have done lousy on compensation for years, and have too seldom had the independence to stand up to a powerful CEO. The authority that shareholders have is almost never exercised.
2) Re your second point, I'll only say that when you ask for handouts, you at least open yourself up to critique from those who provide them. The oil industry's compensation levels are only marginally more a private matter than were GM's strategic moves in the weeks immediately following the bailout it received.
Oh, and do recall that my blog entry began with the sanctity of private contracts as the default. All I did after that was say that in SOME cases it MAY be reasonable for the public to comment & criticize. A small concession, perhaps, but in a polarized debate I think it a point worth making.

Wow…..that's quite grandiose, eh? That we as a generation could CHANGE the healthcare system as we know it?
It isn't, and we can. Here's how.
Harm to the system is increased misdiagnoses or no diagnoses (once the most obvious cause for your symptoms has been ruled out, the medical shoulders shrug and you're left still not knowing what's wrong with you…or you're sent to yet another specialist) both of which increase our costs (more doctor visits/tests), and once again, increase the lawsuit tendency.
We Boomers have no problem asking for what we want, we are the best educated generation so our research skills are excellent, and we are unwilling to accept the "status quo" (these are just 3 of our generational characteristics that come in handy, here) – much more so than any other generation, including our childrens'. We can use these abilities to change the expectations we have of the medical professionals in our lives, thus changing the way our own doctors work with us. By using only those doctors who meet all the above criteria, we are putting our dollars to work supporting best medical practice, not worst.
And with 78 million of us, that will have a huge impact. Over time, those with the best practice approaches will thrive, the rest will not.
The resulting reductions in lawsuits, unneeded tests, and additional doctor visits as one specialist no longer automatically sends you to another before doing all s/he can to diagnose your problem him/herself, will make a nice dent in our healthcare costs.

Having just gone through a severe brain accident, I feel that the problem with healthcare is the exhorbitant costs that are charged by others than doctors. My ambulance bill to be taken to a local hospital was $1,600 dollars! I was called by the hospital the day I came home and asked how I wanted to pay my bill. Even with health insurance I was stunned by the inflated costs.

Електронний лічильник імпульсів призначений для:

 підрахунку кількості імпульсів, що надходять з вимірювальних датчиків на лічильні входи (або один лічильний вхід) лічильника імпульсів і перерахунку їх у необхідні фізичні одиниці вимірювання шляхом множення на заданий множник (наприклад, у метри, літри, штуки, кілограми тощо);

 підрахунку сумарного виробітку за зміну, добу, тиждень, місяць тощо;
 керування виконавчими механізмами одним або декількома дискретними виходами (найчастіше, в лічильниках імпульсів як дискретний вихід використовують реле або оптопару).

Здебільшого, як датчик застосовують механічний переривник або індуктивний датчик (безконтактний датчик) або енкодер.

Електронні лічильники імпульсів можуть мати високий ступінь захисту від пилу і води (наприклад, IP65).

Лічильник імпульсів (деякі моделі) може мати вбудовану функцію тахометра або витратоміра.

Електронні лічильники імпульсів зберігають результат вимірювань при зникненні напруги живлення протягом необмеженого періоду часу в енергонезалежній пам'яті (EEPROM). Після повернення напруги живлення рахунок імпульсів триває, починаючи зі збереженого значення; деякі моделі лічильників імпульсів ідентифікують факт зникнення напруги живлення під час роботи.

Деякі моделі мають інтерфейс для підключення до мережі або комп'ютера (наприклад, RS-485, RS-232, CAN), а також аналоговий вихід ЦАП, який можна використати як для передавання даних іншим контрольно-вимірювальним приладам керування виконавчими механізмами (наприклад, електроприводом).

Крім того, лічильники імпульсів класифікують за напрямком рахунку (режиму роботи):

 підсумувальні лічильники імпульсів;
 віднімальні лічильники імпульсів;
 реверсивні лічильники імпульсів.

Реверсивні лічильники імпульсів найчастіше використовують при роботі з 2-х канальними енкодерами або з двома індуктивними датчиками, при цьому:

 автоматично лічильник імпульсів визначає напрямок обертання енкодера;
 відбувається збільшення в 4 рази роздільної здатності енкодера, тобто 1 повний імпульс із енкодера лічильник імпульсів перетворює на 4 інкременти (див. рис. з поясненням роботи лічильника імпульсів у реверсивному режимі).

Peadar O'Guilin grew up in beautiful Donegal in the far northwest of Ireland. These days, he lives in Dublin where he toils day and night for a giant corporation. You can find him on Twitter by following @TheCallYA.
Shauna Kosoris: What inspired you to write The Call?
Peadar O'Guilin: I have always believed that one idea is never enough to make a good novel — you need at least two. Everything grows from the interaction of these concepts. The first piece of inspiration I had for The Call was an image of somebody disappearing in a crowded room. I imagined their clothing falling to the floor and I wondered what had happened to them. I knew it had to be something bad, I just didn't know what. I guess a lifetime of reading mythology and folklore finally broke through to the surface because I used the Irish mythology I'd grown up with to supply the answer. Our version of fairy tales are weird and beautiful and quite unlike the ones that are more common in the rest of the western world. Nobody could fail to be inspired by them, in my opinion.
I completely agree! So why does the Call last exactly 3 minutes and 4 seconds?
I wanted it to last three minutes so that any witnesses would be on the edge of their seats and counting down all the way, terrified of what might come back. The extra four seconds are there for no reason other than the fact that life isn't very neat.
That's fair. How did Nessa, a girl with weak legs, become the heroine in a story where the teens have to run for their lives?
I always pick heroes for my stories that everybody else expects to fail. They put her in a box, they dismiss and pity her. But Nessa is not the type to lie down and I love her for that.
You said you "picked" Nessa. Were there other characters you were debating about making the protagonist?
No, there were no other characters before Nessa came into existence. All of the others materialised in response to her. I "picked" her, in the sense that I knew I would need somebody that others would consider useless. My main characters are often thought of by others as a "waste of resources" and a "waste of time". But, like all of us, they have enormous value that society is in danger of squandering.
All of the teens had such different adventures in the Grey Lands. How did you decide on what each of them would go through?
I never do a lot of planning in my novels. I want to be every bit as surprised as the readers by what happens. When I sat down to begin each "Call", I didn't always know if that character would live or die, or what would happen to them. This is why I wrote it in the present tense. I wanted to feel the unpredictability of the story that I was creating. And you're right — I knew I had to be very careful to make all of the stories wildly different from each other. To do anything else would have quickly bored the readers.
So which character's Call surprised you the most?
There were quite a few that surprised me. I didn't know Cahal would turn out to have an inner decency. I didn't know Chuckwu would do what he did. And I really didn't expect what happened to Emma. I could say more, but… spoilers!
Emma's Call was probably the most surprising one for me as a reader as well. Outside of the whole idea of being Called by the Sidhe, I found the Sidhe's world to be quite fascinating. Where did you get the idea for the Grey Lands?
The Sídhe needed to live somewhere awful so that their desire for vengeance would be bottomless. So, I designed a world that would be the opposite in every way from the home they lost: The Many-Coloured Land. I took away the colour they loved so much. I left them no animals, so that they had to create their own out of pure hatred.
The Grey Lands and the Bone World of your previous trilogy are both very brutal settings. Why do these types of worlds appeal to you as a writer?
It's all about increasing the stakes. The greater the threat, the more heroic the characters have to be to overcome them and the more we, the readers, fear for their safety and root for their success. At least, that's how I feel.
I'm working on a sequel to The Call. I have no name for it yet and don't plan on writing more than two books in this series. I have plenty of other stories in my mental queue for when that's done.
How exciting – I can't wait to read that sequel! Let's finish up with a few quick questions about reading. What book or author inspired you to write?
I've been writing stories my whole life — at least since the age of five! So, I can't remember what book first got me started. But the one that made me passionate about world-building, has to be The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Reading that the first time was like having a bomb go off in my brain with lights flashing and trumpets blaring. It changed everything for me.
I think the book everybody should read is the one that will do to them what The Lord of the Rings did to me. However, that book is different for every reader. Please, read whatever you love and feel no guilt about it. Sure, you need to study whatever books your school demands too, but in your own time, you should be free in every sense of the word.
Kid Got Shot by Simon Mason. It's a YA mystery with fantastic characters. I loved his previous novel, Running Girl.

The DJI Air 2S is the first compact drone from DJI capable of capturing 5.4K / 30 FPS and 4K / 60 FPS videos. The drone's camera is on a 1-inch CMOS sensor with an effective resolution of 20 megapixels, which is a serious step towards improving the quality of shooting and puts the DJI Air 2S on a par with the more expensive model DJI Mavic 2 Pro. A large sensor also dictates increased light sensitivity. That will allow the drone to capture high-quality images when shooting in all lighting conditions.
With support for HDR and 10-bit Dlog-M profile, users will receive video output with a wide color gamut and deep tones. For professional editing of footage, you can record videos in MOV format and photographs in RAW format. These profiles store more information and greatly expand your editing and color grading capabilities.
Masterpieces at the touch of a button
The drone has an interesting MasterShots feature. The pilot only needs to select a target, after which the drone will start firing. In this mode, the aircraft will perform ten maneuvers in succession and then create a short cinematic video.
FocusTrack offers three auto tracking modes for different use cases: ActiveTrack 4.0, Spotlight 2.0, Point of Interest 3.0. In Spotlight 2.0, the camera stays locked onto an object while the drone spins. ActiveTrack 4.0 allows you to track your subject smoothly without worrying about potential obstacles.
Even if the subject is momentarily lost, resumed tracking quickly, and with Point of Interest 3.0, creating perfect cutscenes is made more accessible by flying around objects in circles. The pilot only needs to activate them; the DJI Air 2S will do the rest. You can lock the camera on an object in tracking mode, making the plane fly around it in a spiral.
It is also possible to fly in the tracking mode of a moving object. And fly around the thing in a circle, and not a single detail is left out of the frame. FocusTrack is a handy companion for the novice pilot who takes care of creating impressive scenes.
Even more convenient and safer
DJI Air 2S is unpretentious in management. In addition to the sensors at the bottom, front, and back on the body, two video sensors appeared, directed upwards. Now the drone will not get stuck in tree crowns and easily avoid collisions with billboards.
Besides, the drone provides an additional layer of airspace safety with its advanced AirSense system, capable of receiving ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance) signals from nearby human-crewed aircraft helicopters. That will prevent accidents with other planes, and their location is transmitted to the remote control screen for convenient control of the air situation by the drone pilot.
But OcuSyns 3.0 technology is responsible for the timely transfer of the image to the remote control screen, which allows you to receive a picture in real-time at a distance of up to 12 km. The 5.5-inch display with 1080p resolution equipped the remote, enabling real-time monitoring of the situation from the drone and simplifying aircraft control. The remote controller is compatible with DJI GO 4 and DJI Fly apps and supports third-party apps.
DJI Air 2S is available in the basic configuration and extended Fly More package. The latter includes a battery charging dock, shoulder bag, ND filter kit, three batteries, and other accessories. With this set, the pilot is ready for any circumstance, and nothing prevents him from shooting bright, clear, and immersive videos.

There are several conditions that call for concrete removal and replacement. Often, fixing it with a decorative topping or patching the concrete before resurfacing is considered a short-term fix. However, it will soon display the characteristics of damaged concrete that you tried to repair. Under such conditions, concrete demolition and replacement is mostly recommended to ensure that repair work is done from scratch and sturdy enough to last for long.
So, under what circumstances is concrete removal recommended? Typically, it is where there are widespread and deep cracks or the concrete slabs have sunk that you require prompt concrete removal and replacement.
At the same time, concrete slabs that have too much pitting and spalling on the surface or which shows the signs of frost heave are the ones where replacing the concrete can prove to be more economical and reliable than merely resurfacing the entire concrete.
Several methods are used in concrete demolition, which is the first and most important step in replacing the concrete in case of excessive damage and building it all over again.
Such type of boom mounted or handheld machine tools are frequently used for concrete removal, which involves pavements, bridge decks, and foundations. The level of work achieved by this method typically depends on the strength of the concrete, hammer size of the breakers, working conditions, and amount of steel reinforcing used in the concrete.
Machine-mounted pneumatic and hydraulic breakers can deliver from 100 to 20, 000 foot pounds at just 300 to 800 blows per minute. To ensure that the maximum amount of work is accomplished in a convenient and hassle-free manner, the breakers may also use remote control operation, telescoping boom for maneuverability and reach, and underwater concrete demolition capabilities.
Where dust-free, controlled and relatively quiet concrete removal is desired, pressure bursting – mechanical and chemical – is the ultimate choice. Under mechanical pressure bursting technique, the concrete is spilt using a high-power and efficient splitting machine that operates on hydraulic pressure, powered by a motor. In case of chemical pressure bursting, expansive slurry is inserted into a particular pattern of boreholes.
The demolished concrete is then removed easily by hand or crane. Such methods ensure breaking up concrete structures with minimum dust and noise. Under both the methods, holes aredrilled into the structure and lateral force is applied against the same to split the concrete.
In this process, concrete elements are cut into smaller pieces using a saw, thermic lance or water-jetting technique, and then the broken pieces are removed by crane. Such a method ensures minimum impact on surrounding structures, emitting lesser dust and noise.
This is a fantastic technique for demolishing a certain portion of the structure, say slabs or walls.
Water-jetting can be used in cutting both contours and straight line and requires usingthe water catching system and abrasive during the cutting process. On the other hand, thermic lance works especially well on steel reinforcing and eliminates dust and vibration.
This is one of the most commonly used techniques in demolishing a building. Here, a ball, weighing up to 13,500 pounds and a crane is used in demolishing masonry and concrete structures. The ball is either swung or dropped onto the structure that needs to be demolished.
However, the process is not suitable for all types of applications and may create a lot of noise, dust and vibration. Only experienced and highly skilled crane operators should perform the concrete demolition method.
When large volumes of concrete have to be removed, explosives are inserted into a series of pre-determined boreholes, which blast and cause the structure to break into smaller pieces. The method is indeed flexible and versatile pertaining to work output.
However, air blast and vibration may cause damage to the surrounding structure and it is important to take highest standards of safety measures during the process.


Economists in the post-Cold War era are increasingly circumspect about universal, one-size-fits-all conceptions of human behaviour and economic institutions. Contemporary economics is thus marked by a nascent pluralism. Economic Pluralism brings these pluralist sensibilities to the fore. Its twenty original essays explore the positive potential and critical limits of pluralism in economic theory, philosophy, institutions, and policies, and education.
These twenty original essays reflect the maturity and breadth of pluralist scholarship in economics today. The first eight chapters (including critical essays by Tony Lawson, Diana Strassmann et al., Frederic Lee, and David Colander) stake out contentious positions on the value of pluralism in economic theory and philosophy. The remaining chapters explore the meaning and consequences of pluralism in economic education, institutions, and policies.
This volume provides a unique "second generation" discussion of pluralism in economics. Its twenty original essays stake out contentious positions on pluralism in economic theory, philosophy, institutions, and policies, and education, reflecting multiple generations and traditions of thought. It is a volume certain to spur wider conversation about the scope and value of economic pluralism for the 21st century. This volume would be of most interest as a supplementary text for graduate or undergraduate courses that include units on heterodox economics or economic philosophy.
Is convergence among heterodox schools possible, meaningful, or desirable?
Why should I adopt pluralism?
From competition and greed to equitable cooperation: What does a pluralist economics have to offer?

Philippine embassy extends legal aid to 8 Filipinos detained for Sabah incursion
By Christine O. Avendano	| Source: ANN
Filipino embassy officials were able to visit eight alleged followers of the Sultanate of Sulu currently detained in a prison in Sabah after they were charged with terrorism and rebellion in connection with the February 9 incursion there that left over 80 people dead, mostly Filipinos.
The Philippine embassy in Kuala Lumpur said on Sunday its consular team was able to visit the eight at the prison facility in Tawau last March 28.
The team was led by First Secretary and Consul Antonina Mendoza-Oblena and director Renato Villa. They inquired about the conditions of the eight as well as their places of origin and respective families.
The embassy identified the eight who are now facing criminal charges as Atil Hussin Bin Abu Bakar, Basad H. Manuel, Habil Bin Suhaili, Holland Bin Kalbi, Thimhar Hadil Suhaili, Lin Bin Mad Salleh, Kadir Bin Uyung and Lating Bin Tiong.
"It is a standing policy of the Philippine government to provide appropriate consular assistance to nationals in distress, whether or not we agree with their acts of advocacies," Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia Eduardo Malaya said in a statement.
Malaya said the embassy would like to ensure the rights of the eight were respected and they would have legal representation in court sessions set to resume on April 12.
The embassy said the visit of its team was made possible with the help of the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Attorney General's chambers and Tawau prison officials.
It also said that it may be difficult for the embassy to extend consular assistance to Raja Muda Agbimuddin, who led the incursion in Lahad Datu, following revelations about his Malaysian citizenship.
The embassy quoted an interview that Malaysian Defence Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi gave to the media on March 23, confirming the Malaysian citizenship of Agbimuddin who once worked as a civil servant in Sabah.
Agbimuddin worked as an assistant district officer in Kudat under the administration of former Sabah Chief Minister Tun Datu Mustapha Datu Harun.

Allina partners with Optum on surgery centers
The lower-cost alternatives to hospitals will be part of a partnership with Optum.
By Christopher Snowbeck Star Tribune
Allina Health system has created a partnership with Optum, the health services division of Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group, that could develop up to a dozen new ambulatory surgery centers over the next five years.
Minneapolis-based Allina did not release financial terms of the development agreement, which was finalized in December.
Plans call for Optum to begin managing in February Allina's surgery center at the West Health medical campus in Plymouth. Optum is one of the nation's largest operators of surgery centers, a business that grew significantly with the acquisition three years ago of a company called Surgical Care Affiliates.
"This partnership with SCA — Surgical Care Affiliates — represents for us an opportunity to bring care closer to our community," said Lisa Shannon, the chief operating officer of Allina, in an interview.
"We have earmarked eight to 12 of these centers over a time horizon that still needs to be defined," Shannon said. "Our goal is that the community begins to see this service becoming increasingly available in the next two years. Our plans look over three to five years."
Ambulatory surgical centers are licensed in Minnesota to provide surgical procedures that do not require overnight inpatient hospital care. The centers have grown as technology improvements, financial pressures and other factors have pushed more medical procedures outside of inpatient hospitals.

From 2009 to 2018, the number of licensed ambulatory surgery centers in the state increased from 56 to 81, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. The department's Health Economics Program said total procedures per-year increased by about 50% during the time period, with 456,912 procedures in 2018.
Allina Health System operates 11 hospitals including Abbott Northwestern in Minneapolis and United Hospital in St. Paul. It's one of the state's largest nonprofit groups, with more than 90 clinics and about 29,000 employees.
UnitedHealth Group is one of the nation's largest health care companies, including the UnitedHealthcare, which is the nation's largest insurer.
The company's Optum division has been making a push in recent years to get closer to patients by operating not just surgery centers but also urgent-care centers and primary-care practices.
"SCA is pleased to be working with Allina and we look forward to our partnership delivering high quality outcomes for patients while reducing the total cost of care," the company said in a statement.
In 2018, Optum's SCA business operated more than 200 surgical facilities, including ambulatory surgery centers and surgical hospitals, in partnership with approximately 3,000 physicians.
When UnitedHealth Group paid $2.3 billion to acquire the business in 2017, SCA had partnerships with three surgery centers in Minnesota.
Bill Evans, a vice president at Allina, said Optum/SCA is expected to become an equity partner in the new surgery centers.
Ambulatory surgery centers are seen as a lower-cost alternative to hospitals for certain procedures.
Over the past year or so, a number of health insurers have been introducing policies that try to steer more patients to the facilities for care.
"We are committed to supporting the community with lower-cost settings of care," said Shannon, the chief operating officer at Allina.
"While the payers did not trigger our pursuit of this plan ... we believe the payers are going to be positively encouraged by our development."

The 5.7" FCV628 uses revolutionary new RezBoost� technology that increases resolution and improves target separation utilizing a compact, narrowband transducer.
RezBoost� is a revolutionary new signal processing technology developed by FURUNO that improves resolution and target separation when using conventional narrowband transducers. Spot individual game fish surrounding bait balls, as well as fish close to the seabed. With RezBoost�, not only can you expect higher resolution and crisper visuals, but also improvements in the ACCU-FISH� function.
With RezBoost� the capabilities of conventional narrowband transducers can be dramatically improved. Compared to conventional signal processing techniques (FDF), a RezBoost� fish finder produces an image that is up to 8 times clearer. What can be done with a conventional narrowband transducer, just like the one you might have installed on your vessel, is truly impressive.
With RezBoost� technology, the resolution is increased, leading to sharper and more defined echoes. Thanks to this increase in resolution, the accuracy of the ACCU-FISH� function is also improved. ACCU-FISH� is very useful when you need to determine fish size, but also has the added benefit of making fish echoes more visible when viewed from a distance. With ACCU-FISH� you can spot individual fish echoes even from the deck on your vessel.
The 8.4" FCV588 uses revolutionary new RezBoost� technology that increases resolution and improves target separation utilizing a compact, narrowband transducer.
Recognize individual or multiple fish instantaneously! ACCU-FISH� is a fish size assessment function of FCV588 that is proprietary to FURUNO. In order to assess individual fish size, echo returns are evaluated based on strength and turned into fish size display on screen. ACCU-FISH� can detect fish size from 10 to 199 cm, in depths of 2 to 100 m.
The FCV-295 is a new color digital sounder designed for a variety of professional fishing operations. It features a bonded �fogging-free� 10.4" LCD display providing superior viewing even in direct sunlight. You can display echoes in 8, 16, or 64 colors, with color assignment dependent on the strength of the returned echo.
The FCV1150 is a color digital sounder designed for a variety of professional fishing operations. It�s high-brightness 12.1� color LCD with AR coated glass filter provides superior, glare-free viewing even in direct sunlight.
A wide variety of display modes and functions are available that provide captains with simple and intuitive information for virtually any fishing requirement including Single (HF/LF), Dual, Single + Zoom, Zoom (Bottom Lock, Bottom Zoom or Marker Zoom), Mix Mode, Nav Data and A-Scope. Additionally, two custom display modes may be programmed by the operator. The FCV1150 can be interfaced with a Furuno Satellite Compass to compensate for heaving caused by the movement of the ocean, providing unwavering, stable detection even in rough seas.
The FE800 is a result of Furuno's many decades of experience developing echo sounders, sonars, and underwater application equipment and systems. This echo sounder is a breakthrough over the conventional paper sounders; there are no consumable items. The purpose of the echo sounder is to provide safe navigation by detecting the clearance below the ship (particularly in shallow waters) as required on the SOLAS Convention ships by the new IMO standards.
The basic system consists of a display unit and distribution box. The 8.4" high-brightness color LCD display offers an easy-to-read depth sounding in various modes, permitting optimum representation with respect to the environment.
Detection range is automatically varied but there is manual override to select the required scale. The displayed record is visible for 15 min on any range and an instantaneous sounding is directly shown in large numerals in addition to the graphical display. Depths, associated time, and position are stored for 24 h in memory. The data can be played back at any time.
Standard, non-CHIRP Fish Finders operate at one or two individual frequencies and are generally capable of detecting targets and displaying them only within those narrow frequency bands. CHIRP Fish Finders transmit pulses across a wide range of frequencies, allowing Furuno�s superior digital signal processing (DSP) to display fish and structure targets with unparalleled clarity, accuracy and resolution.
You may think you�ve seen 3D Multi-Beam Sonar in action, but many of those images begin disappearing as you approach 200 feet. Furuno�s DFF3D takes 3D Fish Finding to new depths. We�re talking depths of over 980 feet, with Side Scanning over 650 feet. See fish and bottom structure as you�ve never seen them before, at depths previously unfathomable. Now you can visibly see fish schools and the underwater landscape at great depths in amazing detail. The DFF3D turns your NavNet TZtouch or TZtouch2 MFD into a multi-beam sonar that can see 120-degrees port to starboard, allowing you to see the depth and direction fish schools are moving, while displaying the seabed condition in real time.
