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.

JSE-listed construction company Group Five will sell its 50% interest in Group Five Pipe to LB Pipes for R80-million.

The most recent downturn, which started after the deep 2007-2009 recession and lasted until 2016 or so, was a very active time for Nucor. In a weak market, it focused a lot on acquisitions, including building a new division in the tubular steel space. Notably, that move allowed it to materially increase the amount of its own commodity steel that it could turn into higher-margin products. The percentage of internally used steel has increased from 8% in 2006 to 19% in 2017, with a three percentage point increase between 2016 and 2017.   

Open-End Wrenches. The flat jaws of these wrenches are slid around nuts or bolt heads and levered for loosening or tightening. The open ends allow the tool to be slid over the nut in tight quarters where there would be insufficient space for a box wrench or a socket, or where the length of a shaft or pipe interferes. Open-end wrenches are the quickest and easiest wrenches to use, but they will not always fit into tight quarters.

Someone once suggested that if you want to know how you would feel crossing an ocean in a single-engine airplane, you should just fly out to sea for a couple of hours and then turn around and come back. There’s something about being out of sight of land that, to paraphrase Samuel Johnson’s remark about the prospect of being hanged in a fortnight, “concentrates the mind wonderfully.” It also gives new meaning to random engine sounds.

Organizing cotton swabs never looked so cute. This funky holder looks like a lotus flower and is designed to hold up to 30 cotton swabs at once.

Holds just enough cotton swabs for my everyday needs."

One of the more challenging reactor types to scale up is a fluid-bed reactor. Fluid beds are historically used in applications that make beneficial use of high-heat-transfer rates (either highly exothermic or endothermic). Given their inherent high solids-mixing rate, fluid-bed reactors allow very energetic reactions to proceed almost isothermally with minimal temperature gradients either axially or radially. Likewise, fluid-bed reactors are advantageous in catalyst services that age or deactivate rapidly. Because the catalyst can be made to readily flow in any direction (up, down or horizontal), catalyst can be continuously circulated between a reaction vessel where the reaction and deactivation takes place and an external regeneration vessel.
