Ferriola didn't stop there, of course; he went into some detail about what was being built and why. For example, part of Nucor's plans call for reinforcement bar mills in Missouri and Florida. The regions in which it is building currently import rebar from other areas, which increases costs for the buyer. By placing mills directly in those regions, Nucor will have a cost advantage and be able to take share from competitors. Further, Nucor's scrap business has a material presence in these markets, so the company will have an ample supply of a key input. The ultimate goal is to be the low-cost producer in each region, with the CEO noting that the way to survive in an oversupplied market "is to be the low-cost producer."   

15 – For the second straight year, the B.C. government declared a provincial state of emergency due to hundreds of wildfires burning across the province. More than 3,000 people were under evacuation orders with nearly another 19,000 on evacuation alert. By the end of August, more than 2,000 fires had been reported – scorching a record of nearly 13,000 square kilometres.

Reactor modeling can range from straightforward empirical equations to a full-blown kinetic model with rate constants and equilibrium-based interactions. Constructing a robust kinetic model with frequency factors and activation energies that accounts for temperature, pressure and concentration effects is a large effort and can take months to create. As a result, the process developer needs to decide what level of detail is needed for commercialization. A true kinetic model is the ideal tool for optimization but could be redundant or unnecessary for plant scaleup.

14 – A highway bridge in the Italian port city of Genoa collapsed during a heavy rainstorm, sending dozens of cars and trucks plunging 45 meters into a dry riverbed. The death toll, including those who later died in hospital, was at least 43 people.

Combination Wrenches. Combination wrenches have an open-end jaw at one end of the tool and a box-end wrench of the same size at the other. As there are many situations where one or the other type simply won’t work, combination wrenches can be handy indeed. However, if you require wrenches only infrequently, the added expense of combination wrenches may not be necessary.

25 – A bill to enact a new trade pact with Pacific Rim countries passed the legislative finish line, making Canada one of the first countries to ratify the 11-country Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP.

One slight oddity that we see is the V12 driver has a bucking magnet applied on the back of its motor. Bucking magnets were used to control stray magnetic fields from interfering with exterior objects such as CRT displays and cards with magnetic strips, but they are not often seen used much anymore. When I asked Paradigm about the inclusion of the bucking magnet, they said that they can be used as a cost-effective way of adding more magnetic flux to the motor.

The 2017 tests showed only one exceeded the 15 parts per billion limit set by the EPA requiring an explanation and potential action from the city. That home recorded 23 ppb of lead in the water, Berg said, which was because the water sat in the pipes for a couple of weeks while the family was on vacation. Under that extenuating circumstance and because other samples were under the limit — 21 sites had less than 1 ppb or none detected at all — the city didn’t have to alter measures used to keep residents safe from lead.

One movie that I had decided to watch using the X12 was the recent big-budget science-fiction movie ‘Ready Player One,’ Steven Spielberg’s wild opus about virtual reality. ‘Ready Player One’ features many bass-heavy set pieces such as King Kong chasing the ‘Back to the Future’ Delorean through Manhattan, a giant naked lady attempting to kill the protagonists with an over-sized axe through the Overlook Hotel hedge maze from ‘The Shining,’ and a massive battle between the Iron Giant and Mechagodzilla in the movie’s frenetic finale. This was all set to Alan Silvestri’s energetic orchestral score and a plethora of pop music. At the relatively high volume at which I watched this movie, the Defiance X12 gave the film’s sound mix a convincing, realistic impression, even though most of it took place in a blatantly artificial environment. Thanks to the X12, I felt the thundering ground as cyber armies clashed and the titanic shudder of King Kong smashing a massive bridge. All of the various weapon blasts, explosions, and vehicular collisions were rendered with an appropriate amount of force but also composure. While the sound mix is filled with all kinds of low-frequency effects, the X12 did not turn the bass into an indistinct booming mess that I think a lesser subwoofer would have done. It could be powerful at one moment and faint at the next moment, so it responded equitably to the sound mixes’ dictates. Watching ‘Ready Player One’ with the Defiance X12 proved that it was as adept with movie sound mixes as it was with music mixes, and that is very much a positive attribute.
