BARNOLDSWICK, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND – Hope Technology manufactures aftermarket components for bicycles, exporting half of its rapidly expanding production to more than 40 countries. The business, which was founded in 1989, now employs around 130 people and was based on a quest to make mountain biking safer by developing an alternative to cantilever brakes.
On April 12, the Ritz Hotel Paris will auction off a part of its 120-year history. Hospitality (and Hemingway) lovers from around the world will have the chance to bid on furniture, carpets, drapes, artwork, antiques, china, glassware, sculptures and odds and ends, all rendered part of history when the hotel underwent a four-year, $400 million renovation before reopening in 2016.
Groundhog Day all over again. But with caveats this time. Oil was a huge political issue 10 years ago "Drill baby, drill!" but big breakthroughs in alternative energy sources have brought in serious competition regardless of the newly discovered oil fields and advanced methods for extracting it. Consider that prior to 2015 selling domestically produced oil to foreign countries was a no-no. After the 40-year ban on prohibiting sale of domestic oil was repealed (and signed by Barack Obama) the race was on to drill and sell more oil, compete with OPEC and if the market began plunging due to economic downturn (a given) the oil behemoths can always stick it to the American consumers (who else)?
I was able to ask a lot of technical questions from the exhibitors and was exposed to technology, machinery and software that I did not know existed. I was surprised to see how technology can interact with industrial machinery and what the advantages are.
“People are gun-shy about admitting that nepotism helps because you’re supposed to pull yourself up from the bootstraps. Capital can come in monetary form, but it can also come in connections.”—Nikki Ogunnaike, style director, Elle.com

Jet Edge programs include “free scheduled training to our end-users at our Minnesota headquarters,” they said. “The course has standard content for service optimization, but also carves out time for specific training on the attendee’s equipment configuration and operating methods.”
At the end of our meal, Pratt started to rise from the booth but froze midway, his face contorted in pain. Since last spring, he’s had terrible hip problems, and his doctor has told him he needs a replacement. He sits back down for a few minutes, and then tries rising again, grimacing, waiting for his hip to lock into place. He tells me that he’s putting off hip surgery until things are settled at Mid-Continent. “It feels like we’re a victim of a mistake,” he said. “I’m at a point where I’m disappointed that the mistake hasn’t been rectified, an unintended consequence [of the trade wars]. I’m not at a point where I’m going to lose faith—faith in the company, faith in Trump. I won’t lose that faith until I have to flip that switch.”
An RMA 448 TC mower with two AP 300 batteries and an AL 500 Fast Charger would tip the purchase price to over £900, but the combination would offer almost limitless mowing time.
To make enough room, the rear seating had to go, and removing it was deceptively easy. [Gongfucius] was able to build and fit a platform peppered with storage hatches that could snap into place and cover the trunk and backseat — covering it with felt for added comfort. A mattress was cut to size out of five inch memory foam and his wife sewed fitted coverings to them. More storage nooks in the trunk keep necessities at hand.
When the time comes and people start buying these Far East products and improve the footprint of these manufacturers in this country, there will be many people feeling the pinch and competing with machinery as good as, if not better than, the equipment from Europe and at two thirds the price, the costs will drop. One of the factors driving the price of components from the Far East is the price of the machinery being used in manufacture, a huge part of the initial investment. Labour and materials come later. They are using the machines we are scared of.
Ideal thing with this, is that the energy is compressed air, that’s quite hard to find on a scan, or at all.
