Many students study chemical engineering with the aspiration of someday inventing an innovative process that could be a true game changer. As we all know, creating a new process is quite complex. Compared to the rapid pace of advancements in other progressive industries, such as consumer electronics, telecommunications, software and automotive, in the world of high-volume, low-margin commodity chemicals, higher-value specialty chemicals and newer sustainable chemicals, process development and commercialization are more methodical and time-consuming.

If you want to talk about inflation, you need to also consider the greatest producer of inflation: monopolies.  I know you think that globalization will result in cheaper products, but currency manipulation destroys competition, and this results in monopolies.  Nothing creates inflation faster than the monopoly.  After all, look at what the Chinese did to the price of tungsten back in 2004 once they captured a monopoly on it...ouch!  The cost was $8,700 per metric ton in 2003, $37,000 by 2005, and $56,700 by 2012.   Talk about inflation!  Now imagine they are allowed to do that with the entire economy?  They will, of course, if they are allowed to.  Remember, it is not globalization that drives down prices, but competition.

...offered as an add-on module for the electric heating (high-voltage heater) and the electric air conditioning compressor, the heat pump utilises both the heat from the ambient air and the heat given off by the drive system components. In this way the high-voltage heater’s consumption of electric power is significantly reduced. Through use of the heat pump the e-Golf’s range increases in winter by up to 20 per cent.

18 – Former United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan died at the age of 80 after a short illness.

The benefit of globalisation and free trade is that countries can get cheaper products and services from poorer countries so boosting both economies however the downside is a highly competitive environment for workers in the US and other Western countries as they are now competing against workers in 2nd and 3rd world countries this is responsible for the rise of anti establishment administrations in the US and Italy and Brexit in the UK . Trump has decided to try and reverse globalisation I think he will find it won’t work long term but I for one am interested to see where this economic experiment will lead I hope he does find a solution to the unemployment issue around the Western world but the more likely result is a massive world depression then wars but then I am not as optimistic as Trump.

Today we will see if Paradigm can continue this trend with their new Defiance line of subwoofers. The Defiance line is divided between two levels of performance: The Defiance V series and the more powerful and more expensive Defiance X series. For this review we have a subwoofer from both tiers: The Defiance X12 and Defiance V12. Both of these subwoofers are ported designs that use 12” drivers. The V12 is the big dog of the V line that consists of an 8”, 10” and 12”, whereas the X12 is the middle child of the X line that consists of a 10”, 12”, and a 15.” All of these subwoofers use front-firing woofers and down-firing ports in a cube-shaped cabinet. One major feature of the Defiance subwoofers is the emphasis on wireless control; they use an app to control the sub’s function, an app to run automated room correction equalization, and can accommodate a feature that allows an onboard wireless signal receiver that does not need a power cord. If that sounds familiar to regular readers of Audioholic’s subwoofer reviews, we will explain why a bit later. But first, let’s take a first look at the units under review, the Defiance V12 and X12.
