The Daily 202: Under Trump, Americans are becoming more supportive of immigration | Spiral Carbon Steel Pipe

The reversal of the decision to shut down Hydro’s Alunorte refinery means alumina prices will quickly break below the $500 per tonne level, traders said.

I hope you realise America is not innocent in this trade manipulations business either. All countries do their best to swing the scales in their direction but we are where we are due to the dire state we were in before we invited China and India to the trade party. At the time it was the only solution to the death spiral we were in due to declining population and failing economies due to vast debts globalisation has masked these two issues but they still remain remove globalisation and the problems come back to bite you. There are negatives to globalisation but you have to solve them rationally and fairly not retreat back to the good ole days.

I know you are planning to report more about this, and I look forward to it, but I am also very interested in what happens/doesn't happen with the EU after the most recent meeting at the White House between Trump and Junckers.  I am very aware that the only real result at the moment is that they agreed to work on the issues, nothing immediate or concrete, but I'd really like to know if results are achieved.  Angela Merkel was the first to signal a willingness to lower EU (or at least German) tariffs on cars from the U.S. and perhaps she used her enormous influence to arm Mr. Junckers with that offering.  I hope you won't mind exploring this area as well.  Thank you, Jan.

“Laser cutting of reflective materials is a relatively new capability. These include aluminium, copper and copper alloys, which reflect the laser beam generated by CO2 lasers, but absorb that emitted from fiber-optic lasers. The mirrors in CO2 lasers are usually made from copper, which is a favoured material because of its combination of reflectivity, high thermal conductivity, and high heat capacity. Copper and its alloys reflect the laser beam, so the beam can’t cut the material. However, the laser beam delivered by a fiber-optic laser is at a different frequency, one that is absorbed readily by copper, copper-based and aluminium alloys,” explained Stuart.

8 – The captain of a Missouri tourist “duck boat” that sank during a storm in July, killing 17 people, was charged with misconduct, negligence and inattention to duty in an indictment by a federal grand jury. U.S. Attorney Tim Garrison said Kenneth Scott McKee, 51, was accused of not properly assessing the weather before or after the boat went into Table Rock Lake near the tourist town of Branson.

I offer this story as further evidence about how the tariffs are working, or not working, within North America.  Further to Jan's informative comments on this previously, it is interesting to see some of the corporate wrangling that is going on here.  I think it's a pretty well written article with a relatively, relatively, minor political slant.  Anyone care to break it down further based in information/knowledge you may have?

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.

Let's move past that and on to examining the relative stances of expensive Western societies vs. poor Eastern societies, such as China, Vietnam, Indonesia. Look at Denmark.  There you have a classic Western society with a high standard of living, very high wages, and an individual income tax rate of about 50%.  You also have govt-paid "everything."  Now, how does Denmark do that?  First, they have high-quality, differentiated products.  Denmark exports its top-quality dairy products, especially cheeses, to Saudi Arabia, which pays top dollar for the cheese.  That Saudis have the money for that, of course, so Denmark, which has its own currency the Kroner, can let its currency appreciate and thus gain greater purchasing power for Euro goods.
