Climate & the North West
Climate & Perth
Climate & Southern WA
Climate & the Mid West
Climate & Goldfields and Agricultural
We've been working hard to cater for the needs of the fast growing North West region.
Our plans to secure drinking water supplies
We have recently upgraded water schemes across the North West, improving security and supply and catering for periods of rapid growth. This includes:
expanded and upgraded groundwater schemes in the Kimberley towns of Halls Creek, Broome and Kununurra
upgraded borefields that supply the East and West Pilbara Water Supply Schemes
a new groundwater source added to the West Pilbara Water Supply Scheme that supplies Karratha, Dampier, Wickham, Roebourne and Point Sampson
upgrading capacity of Newman's water distribution infrastructure.
Customers in the North West are some of the highest water users per capita in WA. We aim to reduce water use in the area by working with communities and businesses on a range of programs, such as:
water use behaviour change and replacement of inefficient fittings for residents and small business
water efficiency solutions for major businesses.
We have also invested in the installation of around 5,700 smart water meters in Port Hedland and South Hedland, and 8,700 smart meters in the West Pilbara towns of Karratha, Roebourne, Point Sampson and Wickham. Smart water meters reduce the number of leaks and places daily water use figures in the hands of customers, allowing customers to track water use more closely.
Improving our wastewater services
Major capacity upgrades are planned for the Derby, Halls Creek, Wyndham and Kununurra wastewater treatment plants in the Kimberley.
In the Pilbara, we've completed a major upgrade to the Karratha and South Hedland Wastewater Treatment plants and associated infrastructure to provide highly advanced water recycling facilities at both sites.
Communities in Karratha, South Hedland and Port Hedland benefit from the project by receiving high-quality water for irrigation of public open spaces and school ovals, which reduces demand on drinking water.
As a result of the upgrade, the facilities can treat up to 10 million litres of wastewater and have the capacity to produce up to six million litres of high-quality recycled water each day.
Increasing water recycling
Approximately 58% of treated wastewater is recycled in the North West. Wastewater recycling plays a vital role in supporting a very high level of economic activity and population growth.
We expect recycled water use to increase further as wastewater volumes and demand for water grows.
Major activities include:
irrigation of public open spaces and ovals in Karratha and South Hedland
recycling schemes in Broome, Derby and Wyndham which supply treated wastewater to golf courses, public open spaces, wetlands and irrigation schemes.
We are committed to exploring further recycling opportunities in the North West and will be investing substantially in technologies to improve the quality of treated wastewater from our plants to increase the use of recycled wastewater.
Buy hay for a good cause
We produce Rhodes grass at our Broome North Wastewater Treatment Plant as an environmentally friendly means of disposing of Broome's recycled water. The high-quality hay is sold to farmers for fodder, and part of the revenue is used to fund community projects in our Kimberley Community grants.
Kimberley Community Grants
If you are based in the Kimberley, and have a great idea, our grants scheme may be able to help.

Bruce Springsteen used as a reference for the people of New Jersey during coronavirus pandemic
The 70-year-old icon - who was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, back in September 1949 - is unknowingly helping to protect local residents during the pandemic, with people being asked to remain a distance of "one Springsteen" apart from each other amid the health crisis.
Alongside an image of Springsteen and a measuring tape, the New Jersey Twitter account said: "REMINDER: Keep AT LEAST one Springsteen of space between yourself and others (sic)"
However, some Twitter users have since observed that the music legend is, in fact, only 5'10' tall, rather than 6 ft as the concept suggests.
Meanwhile, Springsteen previously confessed he originally thought 'Born in the USA' was "too glib" to be a success.
The chart-topping star almost didn't include the iconic track on his seventh album and admitted he still has mixed feelings about the song.
He explained: "I remember at the time thinking, 'It's too glib.' I think I still think that.
"But at the same time, [E Street Band member] Stevie [Van Zandt] said, 'No no no man, it's about the band, the brotherhood of your band and your fans.' And at that time, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and I said, 'OK, let's put it on [the record].'
"We play it a lot, we've played it an awful lot ever since. But I was always a little frightened. The whole record, I always have mixed feelings about."


Brimming with mystery and treasure, this action-packed tale sends a boy in need of luck and girl in need of a friend on an adventure that will change their lives forever. Meet George, the third Lord of Devonshire and the unluckiest boy in London. Why is George so unlucky? First, he's an orphan. Second, unless he sells everything, he's about to lose his house. So when his family's last heirloom, a priceless map to the Star of Victory (a unique gem said to bring its owner success in any battle) is stolen by a nefarious group of criminals, George knows that there is no one less lucky-or more alone-than he is. That is until Ada Byron, the future Countess of Lovelace, bursts into his life. She promises to help George recover his family legacy, and is determined to find her own father along the way-all in a flying machine she built herself. Joined by a mischievous orangutan and the long-lost son of an infamous pirate, Ada and George take off on a cross-continent journey through the skies that will change their lives, and perhaps the world, forever.
"This steampunk novel melds history and a mystery-packed adventure. Polly Lee energetically narrates the story of George, the third Lord of Devonshire, who believes he has bad luck because he is an orphan. It seems like anyone he gets close to dies. When his priceless family heirloom, a map to the hidden gemstone called the Star of Victory, is stolen, he is joined by a young inventor named Ada Byron, a boy named Oscar, and his orangutan. The story follows the young explorers as they traverse multiple continents in search of the missing map. As Lee captures the suspense in her narration, young and older listeners alike will be intrigued by this high-action story. C.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine"


A new survey of PE lessons by independent researchers, TNS-BMRB, has found that schools are overlooking traditional team games in favour of cheerleading, yoga and circus skills as sport.
Netball, hockey and rugby union are losing their appeal as schools tempt pupils with alternatives such as juggling, boxing, trampolining, skateboarding and angling.
Nearly four in ten schools - 37 per cent - now offer cheerleading as a sport, it emerged, up from 32 per cent in 2008/09.
Fewer than four in ten youngsters regularly play competitive sport, with four million missing out, the poll of all schools in England showed.
Seventy-eight per cent of youngsters played in some internal school leagues and fixtures. But only 39 per cent did so ' regularly' - three times or more a year at primary school and 12 times or more at secondary.
Just 49 per cent had some experience of inter-school competition and only 21 per cent did so regularly.
Meanwhile some 22 per cent of schools are laying on yoga classes, with the same proportion providing trampolining lessons, and 18 per cent offer circus skills.
Football, offered by 98 per cent of schools, remains the most popular sport, followed by dance, offered by 96 per cent, and cricket by 89 per cent.
Netball is played at 79 per cent of schools, and 66 per cent offer rugby union - down from a high of 74 per cent in 2005/06. Rugby league was offered by 35 per cent.
Participation in school sport has risen steadily since monitoring began seven years ago.
Other sports which have gained popularity include skateboarding, boxing, mountaineering and martial arts, while cycling enjoyed a particularly sharp rise.
But 21 per cent - some 1.4 million youngsters - still do not receive the recommended minimum of two hours of PE lessons a week. A recent report from watchdog Ofsted warned that some schools have no choice but to offer alternative sports because they lack the facilities for competitive games.
Earlier this year Education Secretary Michael Gove revealed plans to revive competitive sport in schools with an Olympics- style national school sport championship in 2012.
Children's Minister Tim Loughton said: "It's great to see more pupils taking part in school sports.
"However, young people's involvement in competitive sport remains disappointingly low. We aim to spark a competitive school sport revolution by giving them the chance to compete at the Olympic-style competitions in 2012."


When you rent a short-term dumpster, your aim is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But in case you prefer your waste recycled, you may need to really go about it in a somewhat different style. Waste in most temporary dumpsters is not recycled because the containers are so big and carry so much material.
If you are interested in recycling any waste from your endeavor, check into getting smaller containers. Many companies in Camden have a wide range of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are usually smaller than temporary dumpsters; they are the size of routine trash bins and smaller.
In case you like to recycle, learn if the business you are working with uses single stream recycling (you do not have to sort the material) or if you'll need to organize the recyclable material into various containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This will really make a difference in the variety of containers you need to rent.
When you rent a dumpster in Camden, you are dealing with professionals who use terms connected with the construction industry and dumpsters each day. As you likely do not use these terms every single day, here's a bit of the lingo to get you acclimated. This can really allow you to cope with business workers who may get impatient should you not realize what they are explaining about their products.
"Container" and "roll off" are both satisfactory terms for the big metal box you want to rent. Professionals don't use the term "dumpster" as much as the other terms. Containers are usually let in cubic yard sizes, but you don't have to comprise the "cubic" part. Simply say "yard" or "yarder." If, for example, you need to rent a 30-yard dumpster, you can say, "I'm interested in a 30-yard roll off" or "I'd like to rent a 30-yarder." Take advantage of these terms, and you will sound like a pro when you call.
Front -load and roll-off dumpsters have distinct designs that make them useful in various manners. Knowing more about them will help you choose an option that is right for your job.
Front-load dumpsters have mechanical arms that can lift heavy items. This is really a convenient option for projects that include a lot of heavy items like appliances and concrete. In addition , they are good for emptying commercial dumpsters like the type eateries use.
Roll-off dumpsters are normally the right option for commercial and residential projects like fixing a roof, remodeling a cellar, or adding a room to your house. They've doors that swing open, allowing you to walk into the dumpster. They also have open tops that allow you to throw debris into the container. Rental businesses will normally leave a roll-off dumpster at your job place for many days or weeks. This is really a convenient option for both little and large projects.
The cost to rent a dumpster in Camden depends on several variables such as the size you need and how long you need to keep it to finish your project. Generally, you can expect to spend more money for larger dumpsters. Keeping the dumpster for a longer amount of time will also raise the cost.
Getting quotes is among the very best methods to compare dumpster prices to ensure you get a fair deal. Since some companies may charge additional fees, it is crucial that you be sure the price quote comprises all of the equipment and services which you need.
In most cases, renting a dumpster in Camden is an affordable way to remove debris from a building, remodeling, or clean out project. As long as you get price quotes in order to compare your options, you need to realize you could get a good deal on a in Camden.
What if I want my dumpster in Camden picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in Camden, part of your rental agreement comprises a given duration of time you are permitted to use the container. You normally base this time on how long you think your project might take. The larger the job, the longer you will need the dumpster. Most companies in Camden give you a speed for a certain amount of days. If you surpass that quantity of days, you'll pay another fee daily. In case the job goes more quickly than expected, you may be ended with the dumpster earlier than you anticipated.
If this really is true, give the dumpster company a call and they'll likely come pick your container up early; this will permit them to rent it to someone else more immediately. You typically will not get a reduction on your rate if you ask for early pickup. Your rental fee includes 7 days (or no matter your term is), whether you use them all or not.

Litter removal vs in Camden - Which is good for you?
If you own a project you're about to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it is better to hire someone to come haul off all your waste and crap for you, or in the event you need to only rent a dumpster in Camden and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better solution in the event you prefer the flexibility to load it on your own time and you also do not mind doing it yourself to save on labour. Dumpsters also function nicely in the event that you've at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll-offs normally begin at 10 cubic yards, thus if you only have 3-4 yards of waste, you're paying for a lot more dumpster than you want.
Garbage or rubbish removal makes more sense in case you prefer somebody else to load your old things. Additionally, it works nicely if you prefer it to be taken away quickly so it is outside of your own hair or in the event that you simply have a few large items; this is probably cheaper than renting an entire dumpster.
Building Dumpster Rental in Camden - Do You Want One?
Although local governments commonly provide waste disposal services, very few of them are going to haul away construction debris. That makes it important for individuals to rent dumpsters to allow them to dispose of waste during construction jobs.
The most frequent exception to this rule is when you've got a truck that's large enough to transport all construction debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. If you are working on a tiny bathroom remodeling job, for instance, you might find that you could fit all the debris in a truck bed.
Other than very small projects, it is recommended that you rent a dumpster in Camden for construction projects.
If you're not certain whether your municipality accepts construction debris, contact the city for more information. You'll likely find you will have to rent a dumpster in Camden. Placing debris out for garbage removal could potentially result in fines.

Le storie di sant'Obizio sono un ciclo pittorico ad affresco dipinto dal Romanino tra il 1526 e il 1527 all'esterno e all'interno della cappella alla base del campanile della chiesa di San Salvatore a Brescia, all'interno del monastero di Santa Giulia.

Storia
Il culto di Obizio da Niardo è legato alle contese che, nel XII secolo, videro opposte Brescia e Bergamo per il possesso dei territori attorno a Sarnico e per il conseguente controllo della linea di confine segnata dall'Oglio. Dopo aver partecipato alla battaglia di Rudiano si ritirò in emeritaggio e fu accolto come oblato presso il monastero di Santa Giulia. Morto all'interno del cenobio nel 1204 in fama di santità, viene sepolto nella cappella ricavata alla base del campanile della chiesa di San Salvatore dopo alcuni fatti miracolosi seguiti all'esposizione della sua salma, trovando immediatamente un vasto culto ancora prima dell'effettiva canonizzazione.

Non è noto l'aspetto originale della cappella, che viene completamente rimodernata nella prima metà del Cinquecento durante i lavori di generale sistemazione del monastero e dei suoi edifici religiosi. Le decorazioni pittoriche vengono commissionate al Romanino, che affresca tutte le superfici della cappella, esterne e interne, con un ciclo narrativo incentrato sulla storia della vita di sant'Obizio.

Lodato da Bernardino Faino nel Seicento, il ciclo viene assegnato per la prima volta al pittore durante l'Ottocento da Federico Odorici. Non sono noti, ad oggi, documenti che provino con certezza l'autografia del Romanino, ma l'attribuzione è comunque confermata all'unanimità da tutta la critica artistica ottocentesca e novecentesca.

Descrizione

La cappella è di pianta quadrata ed è ricavata alla base del campanile della chiesa, costruito attorno al Trecento. Non è certa l'esistenza di una cappella precedente, ma le murature presentano un rafforzamento murario chiaramente cinquecentesco, segnalando il totale rifacimento dell'ambiente in quel periodo. Verso la navata centrale della chiesa si apre il varco d'ingresso, ad arco a tutto sesto. Verso la navata destra è posta invece una piccola finestra anch'essa ad arco a tutto sesto, molto strombata verso l'interno. La cappella, di dimensioni contenute, è poi coperta da una leggera volta a crociera.

Il ciclo pittorico del Romanino riguarda tutte le superfici interne ed esterne della cappella, decorata con scene ampie, semplici e povere di dettagli, molto immediate. Sulla parete verso la navata centrale, a sinistra dell'accesso, è dipinta una finta statua con la figura di Sant'Obizio, sorretta da una finta mensola sostenuta da tre putti, i quali a loro volta si sostengono su un bucranio. Il santo tiene una spada in mano e appoggia un piede su un elmo. Lo stesso arco d'ingresso è decorato con una finta cornice marmorea e sul concio di chiave è dipinto un altro putto. Sopra il varco, una finta trabeazione separa dal resto il riquadro superiore, dove è dipinto Sant'Obizio che lascia il campo di battaglia, molto abraso da una vasta caduta di colore, forse perché steso a secco. In alto a sinistra si vedono i lacerti di una figura non identificabile, probabilmente la Madonna, Gesù oppure santa Margherita, figura alla quale il santo si sta rivolgendo.

Sulla parete verso la navata minore è presente un unico affresco, a destra della finestra della cappella, raffigurante la Flagellazione di Cristo, tema apparentemente slegato dal ciclo pittorico della cappella.

All'interno della cappella, sulla parete di fondo fronteggiante l'ingresso è dipinto Sant'Obizio fra un giovane e una monaca sovrastato da un Gesù fra le nubi. Sulla parete destra si trova invece Sant'Obizio che presenta la sua famiglia alla Vergine, anch'essa abrasa da una vasta caduta dei pigmenti, mentre sulla parete sinistra è dipinto Sant'Obizio che si presenta alle monache per essere accolto nel convento, divisa dall'apertura della finestrella e sormontata da una grande aquila a monocromo dipinta nello sguancio della finestra stessa. La volta è invece decorata con cornici e grottesche.

Stile

Il ciclo si pone stilisticamente vicino agli affreschi del Castello del Buonconsiglio di Trento, ma certo precedente dal punto di vista cronologico. Ciò si deduce, per esempio, dall'abilità mimetica dimostrata nel dipingere vaste aree a imitazione del marmo o di rilievi in stucco, che il Romanino applicherà estesamente a Trento. Tale volontà mimetica è portata alle estreme conseguenze nel Sant'Obizio a sinistra dell'ingresso, figura oltretutto al limite tra una finta statua e una reale rappresentazione del santo, poggiante sulla mensola dal forte effetto illusionistico. Risulta infatti difficile parlare propriamente di finta statua: il rigore prospettico e il realismo sono continuamente messi in discussione dalla posa benevola, quasi cortese del personaggio, dalla sua inclinazione cedevole e dal ricco abbigliamento da cavaliere, conseguenza di una mente artistica concentrata più sulla resa espressiva che sulla definizione prospettica. Sono comunque rare, all'inizio del Cinquecento, simili rappresentazioni di santi in interni, che conosceranno una maggiore diffusione solo successivamente, e soprattutto per gli esterni, in tutta l'area veneta.

Il Sant'Obizio che lascia il campo di battaglia dipinto sopra l'ingresso si impone decisamente come il brano più alto dell'intero ciclo, soprattutto per la dimensione monumentale della figura del cavaliere e anche del cavallo, il cui manto è variegato da vaste pezzature bianche e rossastre.

Di minore tono, forse perché alterate da ridipinture o eseguite da collaboratori, appaiono le grottesche affrescate sulla volta interna della cappella, mentre è chiara l'autografia del Romanino nelle due coppie di angeli nelle due lunette sottostanti, dipinte sopra la finestrella e sopra l'arco d'ingresso, probabilmente i due settori meglio conservati dell'intero ciclo.

Si impone alla vista, per posizione e monumentalità, il Sant'Obizio fra un giovane e una monaca affrescato sulla parete di fondo. La composizione della scena e la resa espressiva dei personaggi sono chiaramente debitrici alla lezione del Moretto e sono rilevabili in altre opere del Romanino "colto" della fine degli anni Venti, in particolare il Polittico di Sant'Alessandro, ma il Gesù fra le nubi sovrastante ritorna alla piena maniera del pittore ed è molto affine a quello affrescato nell'abside della chiesa di San Francesco d'Assisi, databile, assieme al ciclo pittorico adiacente, al 1525.

Un carattere medio è invece riscontrabile nel Sant'Obizio che presenta la sua famiglia alla Vergine sulla parete destra, forse anche a causa della poca leggibilità della scena dovuta a un'estesa caduta di pigmenti applicati a secco. Il Sant'Obizio che si presenta alle monache per essere accolto nel convento negli sguanci della finestrella, che chiude il ciclo, è completato, come detto, da una grande aquila a monocromo, tanto evidente da far pensare a un simbolo araldico. Questo particolare ha condotto la critica ad attribuire il ciclo a una commissione da parte della famiglia Martinengo, che proprio in un'aquila ha il suo stemma gentilizio, e di ricondurla in particolare a Adeodata Martinengo, eletta ripetutamente badessa del monastero e ancora in carica nel 1526-27. Tale datazione, proposta da Alessandro Nova nel 1994, è coerente dal punto di vista stilistico, ma è al contrario poco puntuale negli abbigliamenti e nelle acconciature che il Romanino dipinge sui suoi personaggi, più convenienti all'inizio degli anni Trenta.

Dato che queste caratteristiche si possono però rilevare negli affreschi di Trento, giustamente eseguiti tra il 1531 e il 1532 e sicuramente collocabili dopo il ciclo di San Salvatore, la datazione al 1526-27 si rivela comunque calzante.

Esterno al tema del ciclo, come già detto, si trova la Flagellazione di Cristo dipinta sul lato della cappella verso la navata minore. La scena, abrasa nella zona inferiore, costituisce un vero e proprio omaggio, per la posizione delle gambe, per la tensione drammatica e per la pienezza dei volumi, al San Sebastiano del Polittico Averoldi di Tiziano, giunto a Brescia nel 1522 per l'altare maggiore della collegiata dei Santi Nazaro e Celso.

When Donald Trump entered the White House on a platform of defiant nationalism nearly two years ago, many feared he would dismantle the global trading system the U.S. and its allies had built over the past 70 years.
He hasn't. Instead, he is presiding over its realignment into two distinct systems.
One, between the U.S. and its traditional, democratic trading partners, looks a lot like the system that has prevailed since the 1980s: free trade with a smattering of quotas and tariffs like those Ronald Reagan once deployed.
The second reflects an emerging rivalry between the U.S. and China carrying echoes of the Cold War. On trade, investment and technology, the U.S. is moving to undo some of the integration that followed China's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001.
There are two big questions hanging over this realignment. The first is deciding how far the U.S. is prepared to decouple from China. The U.S. has given China until March 1 to avoid higher tariffs by addressing complaints it discriminates against foreign companies and steals their technology. Mr. Trump is counting on a deal that avoids a trade war. But many in his administration and Congress don't trust China to make the necessary concessions and would likely advocate a sharper break.
The second question is whether the U.S. can persuade allies to join a united front to contain China. Other countries don't relish the choice. Their economic ties to China are far greater than they ever were to the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
Nor are the ideological choices as clear cut. China isn't waging an ideological struggle against the West as the Soviet Union did, and Mr. Trump, while enacting policies reminiscent of President Reagan, lacks Mr. Reagan's commitment to alliances and free trade. Defense Secretary James Mattis's decision to resign after Mr. Trump's decision to withdraw troops from Syria underscores the president's ambivalence toward international engagement.
Two years ago, it was easy to predict a grimmer fate for the global trading system. Mr. Trump campaigned as a protectionist willing to tear up trade agreements and raise tariffs to shrink the trade deficit and bring back factory jobs.
In his first week he withdrew from the unratified 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership. He prepared to pull out of the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (Korus) and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Earlier this year he imposed steep tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum, using a little-used national security law, and threatened the same for autos.
Today, Korus and Nafta have been replaced by updated agreements(one not yet ratified) that look much like the originals. South Korea accepted quotas on steel. Mexico and Canada agreed to higher wages, North American content requirements and quotas for autos.
These represent a step back from free trade toward managed trade, but they will have little practical effect: The limits on how many cars Mexico and Canada can ship duty-free to the U.S., for example, exceed current shipments. Mr. Trump hasn't stopped threatening auto tariffs, but for now his officials have elected instead to seek broader tariff reductions with Japan and the European Union.
.. Meanwhile, the U.S. trade deficit that incenses Mr. Trump has grown during his presidency, especially with China and Mexico, as a strong American economy sucks in imports. His exhortations to manufacturers to bring jobs back to the U.S. have largely fallen on deaf ears.
Douglas Irwin, an economist and trade historian at Dartmouth College, calls these results the "status quo with Trumpian tweaks: a little more managed trade sprinkled about for favored industries. It's not good, but it's not the destruction of the system."
.. Yet the status quo with China is crumbling. Businesses have grown disillusioned with China's restrictions on their activities, forced technology transfer and intellectual-property theft, all aimed at building up domestic competitors at foreign expense. Meanwhile, legislators in both parties are alarmed at increased military assertiveness and domestic repression under President Xi Jinping.
.. When Mr. Xi visited the U.S. in 2015, Mr. Sullivan urged his colleagues to pay more attention to China's rise. On the senate floor, he quoted the political scientist Graham Allison: "War between the U.S. and China is more likely than recognized at the moment."
Last spring, Mr. Sullivan went to China and met officials including Vice President Wang Qishan. They seemed to think tensions with the U.S. will fade after Mr. Trump leaves the scene, Mr. Sullivan recalled.
"I just said, 'You are completely misreading this.'" The mistrust, he told them, is bipartisan, and will outlast Mr. Trump.
While delivering one message to China, Mr. Sullivan gave a different one to the administration and its trade negotiators: Don't alienate allies needed to take on China.
"Modernize the agreements but stay within the agreements," he says he counseled them. "Then we have to turn to the really big geostrategic challenge facing our country and that's China."
His was one voice among many urging Mr. Trump to single out China for pressure. Presidents Obama and George W. Bush sought to change China's behavior through dialogue and engagement. Obama officials had begun to question engagement by the end of the administration. Last year, in its National Security Strategy, the Trump administration declared engagement a failure.
The Trump administration regards economic policy and national security as inseparable when it comes to Beijing, because China's acquisition of Western technology both strengthens China militarily and weakens the U.S. economically.
The administration has yet to publicly explain its goals. In 1946, at the start of the Cold War, diplomat George Kennan made the case for containing the Soviet Union in his famous "long telegram." The Trump administration hasn't done anything comparable for China. One reason might be that administration officials are divided. Mr. Trump appears torn between wanting to halt China's rise at any cost and hoping for "a big and very comprehensive deal" that lifts the cloud of a trade war.
.. U.S. and domestic concerns have prompted Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Britain and Canada to restrict or consider restricting Huawei equipment in their telecom infrastructure, in particular for the next 5G mobile phone standard.
The U.S. is also seeking to wall China off from future trade deals. It insisted the pact replacing Nafta include a clause letting the U.S. quit if either Canada or Mexico signs a free-trade agreement with a "non-market economy," i.e., China.
.. The first goes to the heart of Mr. Trump's goal. If his aim is to hold back China's advance, economists predict he will fail. China's innovative capacity has expanded dramatically. China now accounts for 18.6% of articles in international scientific journals, according to one study, and nearly a quarter of global venture-capital investment, according to another.
Indeed, some China experts fear that the U.S., by adopting a more adversarial approach, weakens China's reformers and strengthens its nationalist factions, making conflict more likely. They predict China will intensify its pursuit of technological self-sufficiency.
.. Persuading other countries to hold China at arm's length will be harder than containing the Soviet Union. China accounts for 11% of world exports, whereas the Soviet Union in the 1980s accounted for less than 3%,
.. China is 22% of Japanese imports and exports; the Soviet Union was less than 1%.
.. Many of China's close neighbors depend far more, economically, on China than on the U.S.
.. U.S. officials note that China's aid, such its Belt and Road infrastructure program, often saddles recipients with debt. Yet the U.S. offers no alternative, said Mr. Rudd.
.. Some of Mr. Trump's trade policies undermine the united front he wants against China. He hasn't sworn off protectionism against U.S. allies, promising to withdraw from Nafta even if its replacement isn't ratified by Congress. His steel and aluminum tariffs, most of which remain in place, outraged such allies as Canada.
U.S. officials play down such frictions as easily worked out. Abroad, they are seen as more serious. Canadian ambassador to the U.S. David MacNaugton said he told U.S. trade negotiators that if Mr. Trump carried through on his threatened 25% tariff on Canadian autos, it would fundamentally change bilateral relations for the worse for years to come. In a letter accompanying Nafta's replacement, the U.S. agreed not to levy the tariffs.

The Real Reason for Trump's Steel and Aluminum Tariffs
The Trump administration's proposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will target China, but not the way most observers believe. For the US, the most important bilateral trade issue has nothing to do with the Chinese authorities' failure to reduce excess steel capacity, as promised, and stop subsidizing exports.
.. Trump no doubt sees potential political gains in steel- and aluminum-producing districts and in increasing the pressure on Canada and Mexico as his administration renegotiates the North American Free Trade Agreement. The European Union has announced plans to retaliate against US exports, but in the end the EU may negotiate – and agree to reduce current tariffs on US products that exceed US tariffs on European products.
.. But the real target of the steel and aluminum tariffs is China. The Chinese government has promised for years to reduce excess steel capacity, thereby cutting the surplus output that is sold to the United States at subsidized prices. Chinese policymakers have postponed doing so as a result of domestic pressure to protect China's own steel and aluminum jobs.
.. Because the tariffs are being levied under a provision of US trade law that applies to national security, rather than dumping or import surges, it will be possible to exempt imports from military allies in NATO, as well as Japan and South Korea, focusing the tariffs on China and avoiding the risk of a broader trade war.
.. For the US, the most important trade issue with China concerns technology transfers, not Chinese exports of subsidized steel and aluminum.
.. Until a few years ago, the Chinese government was using the Peoples Liberation Army's (PLA) sophisticated cyber skills to infiltrate American companies and steal technology.
.. Xi then agreed that the Chinese government would no longer use the PLA or other government agencies to steal US technology.
.. The current technology theft takes a different form. American firms that want to do business in China are often required to transfer their technology to Chinese firms as a condition of market entry.
These firms "voluntarily" transfer production knowhow because they want access to a market of 1.3 billion people and an economy as large as that of the US.
These firms complain that the requirement of technology transfer is a form of extortion. Moreover, they worry that the Chinese government often delays their market access long enough for domestic firms to use their newly acquired technology to gain market share.
.. The US cannot use traditional remedies for trade disputes or World Trade Organization procedures to stop China's behavior. Nor can the US threaten to take Chinese technology or require Chinese firms to transfer it to American firms, because the Chinese do not have the kind of leading-edge technology that US firms have.
.. US negotiators will use the threat of imposing the tariffs on Chinese producers as a way to persuade China's government to abandon the policy of "voluntary" technology transfers.

Trump Alienates Allies Needed for a Trade Fight With China
China's predatory trade behavior is threatening sectors much more vital than steel and aluminum
"Beijing has doubled down on its state capitalist model even as it has gotten richer," Kurt Campbell and Ely Ratner, who both served in foreign-policy roles under former President Barack Obama, write in the current issue of Foreign Affairs. "Cooperative and voluntary mechanisms to pry open China's economy have by and large failed."
.. But Mr. Trump has consistently rejected collective action in favor of going it alone. His officials downgraded multilateral efforts to reduce steel overcapacity. In January 2017, Mr. Obama's administration launched a case at the WTO against China for subsidizing aluminum, but Mr. Trump has failed to follow up.
.. since 2003 China has four times promised to address overcapacity in steel production, as its actual capacity quadrupled to roughly half the world total.
.. Yet China exports little steel to the U.S. because of existing duties and accounts for just 11% of its aluminum imports, far behind Canada. The Commerce Department argued for a global remedy because Chinese production depresses global prices and drives foreign producers out of third markets, and they then ship to the U.S.
This means the pain of Mr. Trump's tariffs will fall not on China but on actors that play by the rules, including Canada, Japan and the European Union. When the EU threatened to retaliate, Mr. Trump said he would escalate by raising duties on European cars.
Chinese misbehavior has thus brought the U.S. to the brink of trade war with its own economic and strategic allies, echoing how Russian meddling has served to fuel internal strife in Europe and the U.S.
.. Chinese forced technology transfer, commercial espionage and intellectual-property theft, all aimed at creating Chinese champions in key industries by 2025.
These pose a far greater threat to U.S. technological leadership and the enormous value it adds to U.S. exports than do growing imports of steel and aluminum which, while vital to some communities, are commodities.
.. The U.S. is preparing a sweeping penalty against China, but it would be more effective if done jointly; otherwise, Beijing may simply persuade others to hand over their technology in exchange for Chinese sales or capital.
.. Most of all, though, it requires Mr. Trump to understand where leverage comes from.
"Chinese misbehavior with respect to intellectual property and economic espionage is a real problem that requires a response," Patrick Toomey, a Republican senator from Pennsylvania, said in an interview. "We are much more likely to get our allies to work with us if we aren't punishing them for selling us steel that our consumers want to buy."

How Does Roll Forming Fit Into the Full Metal Fabrication Process?
Did you think roll forming had to take weeks and months to design, set up, and produce a quality product? We thought so, too. That is, until we realized we could standardize the roll forming process of a small selection of metal mouldings.
Roll forming may seem like magic at first glance: you insert a coil of metal in one end, and a finished part pops out the other. What happens in the middle? Let's dispel the mystery of this metal fabrication process.
Metal Trim Is in Style. Are You Still Using Wood?
Architectural metal trim is certainly not a new idea in the 21st century - ever since we learned how to melt and shape metals, we've been using them in our architecture.
As with all manufacturing processes, the way you design your component impacts your overall costs, lead times, and quality consistency. Follow these roll form design tips to avoid the common pitfalls of custom tooling and forming.
There is a new trend rising in architecture and home decor: aged, tarnished, and patina-ed metal pieces.
Dahlstrom's metal mouldings complement design composition in a very individualized way, depending on the type of metal used. Additionally, metal mouldings offer corrosion resistance, extreme impact strength, concealed fastening, and potential for 100% recycled content.
At Dahlstrom, we fabricate only the highest quality metal mouldings to help you create a sleek, elegant atmosphere for any room.


The constant *you have lost data connectivity because you left roaming*. When I don't even have enabled...ever. then it asks me to pick the closest city. But then hours later it asks me to pick again... what is going on??


It was a Saturday night and I was walking on the crowded streets, truly enjoying the Christmas vibes. With all the beautiful decorations, amazing street performances and the excitement on the children's eyes. The thought of you suddenly popped up in my head and I shivered in this cold freezing weather.
It's hard when you talk to someone every day and all the time and about everything and then suddenly you stop talking for no particular reason. If I had a time machine I'd go back in time and do things differently. Who am I kidding there's no such thing as a time machine and I believe that's the beauty of life.
Maybe you only get to experience or live a certain type of experience once whether it's good or bad. Your perception of me made me live in doubt, mostly in everything I do or say. If anything, I understand now that you wanted me to question and doubt my abilities.
Your unwanted doubtful negative perception made me realize the importance of my own opinion. Thank you because I'm stronger than I ever was. If anything, I owe you a thank you because now I never question myself and I'm confident enough to try what you once called the impossible. What I'd really love to talk about in this particular piece is perception.
So, let me ask you this, since when is being nice to people means that you want something from them?
Since when is kindness is considered as the new fake? Since when is being insensitive is suddenly attractive? If I did you a favor, I simply did it because I wanted to even if your intentions were to use me or take it for granted. The nicest way I could put this is that no matter how pure your intentions are people will always assume the worst why is that?
So, here's a solution screw what they think. You don't need anyone's permission to be kind or smart or successful or simply to do good things to this world.
All you need is a goal and a beautiful determined mindset that will take you there. Stay connected to the good things that's happening in this world and offer a hand to help others be as positive and as educated as you are. In other words, update your mindset too not just your iPhones. And never ever compare your own progress to someone else because you are your own competition.

The pitches have been made, the teams have been chosen. People are seeing if their ideas have enough sustenance to last the weekend.
Members of the support team flew in from San Francisco and Hong Kong to provide expert knowledge from supporting other hardware start ups. Participants had flown in from Germany, UK and other parts of Europe. No wonder it had sold out. This is the first one to be held in Ireland, and even the organisers had wondered what the response would be. Would an Irish based audience be as willing to come forward and pitch their ideas?
Fortunately by the end of the pitches there were 20 to chose from. Plenty of scope to find one they liked, from helping a wheelchair bound techie to have some fun getting his Go Kart to respond to mouth based commands, to wearable motion sensors for Irish livestock.
By Sunday, successful teams will have developed prototypes to demonstrate their MVP's (minimum viable products). This is the second one held by PCH after an initial one in San Francisco. They were unsure what to expect from the first one, but were blown away by participants levels of energy and enthusiasm, showing up at 8am on the Saturday morning to continue day 2 of the Hackathon.
Starter packs are provided to all team members by Intel, including Arduino sensor kits and enough cool, useful things to make something really interesting. LayberLabz, Shimmer and BlueBridge Technologies among others were also providing their help and expertise.
After the first event they also made a few tweaks including have a whole series of support people to assist people in using the various technology on offer, including flying over members of Highway 1, a hardware start up mentoring company from San Francisco. http://highway1.io/ Led by Ryan Vinyard @highway1io , to assist participants.
How will it go in Dublin? We shall see. What will they produce? All will be revealed on Sunday evening at 5pm!

The QS World University Rankings places over 950 institutions across the globe in a range of categories, including by course of study and overall excellence.
It applies six broad metrics to ascertain a score for each category, which then determines the institution's ranking within that category.
The 2017 rankings were based on the views of over 75,000 academics and 40,000 major employers around the world. The organisation also analysed 12.3 million papers and over 75 million research citations.
The Australian National University in Canberra was placed higher than any other Australian university in this year's rankings, at number 20 in the world.
The ranking puts the ANU in the top 0.1% of more than 26,000 universities worldwide.
ANU Vice-Chancellor Professor Brian Schmidt AC sees the result as a reflection of the university's domestic and international standing.
"The latest results are a wonderful testament to the world-leading research and education on offer from the ANU, and the dedication of our staff and students who contribute to make ANU one the great places in the world to work and study," the professor is reported to have said.
The University of Melbourne ranked at number 41, the University of New South Wales at 45, the University of Queensland at 47 and the University of Sydney at 50.
In terms of the best law schools in Australia, the University of Melbourne took top spot – ranked number 11 worldwide – followed by a law school in Sydney University of Sydney at 13, the University of New South Wales at 14 and the ANU at 16.
The world's best law school was determined to be Harvard University, followed by the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.
The rankings also placed the world's best cities for students.
The methodology took into account university rankings, student mix, affordability, desirability and employer activity.
Montreal took top spot as the best student city, followed by Paris and then London.
Melbourne was the best Australian city for students, coming in at number 5, followed by Sydney at 13.
But as the organisation points out, the decision about which course is the most suitable for any particular student will often depend on a broader range of factors than those considered by the study, and place greater emphasis on those seen as the most important.


Udupi, Oct 24, 2017: The pilgrim centre of Kollur in Udupi district to provide meals to devotees, is constructing a new dinning hall. It is being constructed close to the old dining hall near Sri Mookambika Temple.
The hall will be of 70,000 sq.ft. It is being constructed at a cost of Rs. 21 crore and will have a cellar, ground, first, and second floors, and lift facilities. "In the new dining hall, about 1,000 devotees can have food at a time, while there is a waiting area for another 1,000 devotees," said Prakash D.K., temple engineer. The present hall caters to about 400 at a time. The new hall is expected to be ready early in 2018.
Devotees visiting the piligrim centre of Kollur in Udupi district, where the exponent of Advaita philosophy, Adi Shankaracharya, established the Sri Mookambika Temple, has seen a ten fold increase in recent times. Steps are being taken to provide a modern underground drainage (UGD) system and drinking water supply to the village.
The construction of the drinking water project and UGD work have already been taken up by the Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board (KUWSDB). There are about 375 houses in Kollur village. Its population is about 3,000.
According to H. Krishnamurthy, Assistant Executive Officer, Mookambika Temple, the pilgrim centre receives between 3,000 to 5,000 persons per day. This number goes up to about 10,000 per day during important festivals such as Maha Navaratri, he said.
Hence, the government is simplementing a drinking water project at a cost of Rs. 24.67 crore and an underground drainage system at a cost of Rs. 19.97 crore. Under the drinking water project, a vented dam will come up at Kashi Hole, about a km from Kollur, where a jackwell plant too will be set up .The water will be lifted from here to the Water Purification Plant at Kalyani Gudde about 2 km from Kashi Hole.
According to Prakash D.K., engineer at the temple, the capacity of the drinking water project is 2.5 million litres per day (MLD). The project includes an overhead tank and an underground water tank. The temple and its guesthouses alone require about three lakh litres of water per day.
"The vented dam is awaiting clearance from the Department of Forests. We expect it to be completed by November, 2018," Priyanka Mary Francis, Deputy Commissioner, told The Hindu.
The UGD project includes the construction of a sewage treatment plant, a wetwell and about 400 manholes. About 9.5 km of drainage pipelines were being laid as part of the project. The sewage treatment plant is expected to come up near the junior college hostel in Kollur. The UGD work would be completed by March, 2018.
The implementation of the underground drainage system will also put on an end to the pollution of the Souparnika that flows in front of the temple. The pollution of the river had even led to the 'Save Souparnika' campaign a couple of years ago.
"Many business establishments are releasing their sewage into the Souparnika. These establishments would get connected to UGD network putting an end to the pollution," said Mr. Krishnamurthy.
