 to penetrate deep into the soil with tremendous efficiency. The next logical step was to pair it alongside another bucket to get the job done twice as fast.
We were contracted to create a tool to transport a loader inside a ship. Our engineering team designed a lifting anchor that can be screwed onto a loader’s frame and secured to the roof. A ring on the anchor allows the vehicle to be lifted by crane onto the ship. The anchor is 3 m (10 feet) long and can lift up to 22,680 kg (50,000 lb.).
Lifting anchors, especially for heavy machinery, allow you to reliably and safely absorb all the stresses that occur during the course of lifting and transportation operations. The safety of the operators and the safeguarding of the expensive equipment being hoisted are paramount when manufacturing these anchors, which is why selecting top quality materials and carefully dimensioning the anchors to match their intended application and the load they are expected to bear, are such important components of the design and manufacturing process.
A mine cable manipulator is a cable hoisting and moving mechanism you can operate from a loader or forklift. The rugged hydraulic arm is equipped with a cable holder fitted with rollers to minimize cable wear and tear caused by frequent handling. We engineered the Vallée Mine Cable Manipulator specifically for the harsh working conditions typical of surface mining.Tecumseh - Fine Silver Coin - Mintage: 10000 (2012)

Once upon a time, there was a man who thought rather highly of humanity’s potential. Sure, there were things humans did that were awful — they could be violent, and careless, and short-sighted — but they also did amazing things like science and art that other species didn’t. Overall, he thought that calling someone “human” was a high compliment. And this idea colored his thinking in such a way that it began to shape his expectations of people; maybe we should expect human beings to do more than eat and excrete and reproduce, and maybe we should recognize that the word “human” meant an awful lot more than just a certain flavor of meat or the species of your parents..
Unfortunately, not all humans liked having the fact that words carry greater connotations than the most narrow, most literal, most concise, dictionary-style definitions, despite the obvious fact that they all do. They got quite irate.
“I am a human because I am not a squirrel, or a hyena, or a fish, or broccoli,” some said, “and I resent the fact that you think there’s more to me than being a not-squirrel!”
“You expect me to be good at math to qualify as human?” complained some of the slower, less alert people, who failed to notice that the man had made no such specific requirements.
“The only thing that all humans have in common is that they were born to other humans, and can only reproduce with humans,” said other complainers, “therefore, that is all that ‘human’ can imply or mean. How dare you taint my pure and perfect language with complications and nuances and expectations!”
And the man listened to their arguments for a while, and argued back for a while, and then he came upon a simple solution. He told the not-squirrels and identity-by-rutters and functional illiterates and simple-minded machine-coders to fuck off, and it was good.
“Ad hominem!” they squeaked.
“Who cares what barely human people think, anyway,” he shrugged.Sorry the photo is so small but dial-up creates issues with loading larger ones.
It is a dam in lower Arkansas. We were driving across the water from the spillway. I can swim okay but my car cannot.....
so is this the bottom of the arches? or the stadium or the budweiser factory?
I have attempted to make it easier to see. 
Hope it is easier to see the dam....
Thank you... I will have to get some photos of those places to share. Sorry the photo was dark and small. Hopefully, it is better now.
Hey Ann, what's dial up?? Are you kidding, I couldn't even imagine still dealing with that!!!
Not the Hover Dam but still very impressive!
Hi Ann, I have been to Fontana Dam in the Carolinas and it is truly a fascinating sight to see. Thanks for sharing the picture.
I think it is running under and creating electricity.
Me neither but my wireless went out a month ago and I had to do something.....
It was very tall and I was not very happy being at the bottom.....
I would much rather be at the top of the dam....
Ann my oldest son went to school in Searcy Arkensas but I never saw that Dam. What town was it in?
I visit dams whenever I go traveling. I find them intriguing, to be able to hold back all the water they do.
Yes, it does take patience......it is wearing thin.
The dam is the Narrows Dam on Lake Greeson in Murfreesboro AK.
I was amazed and somewhat concerned since it looked older and we were staying on the bottom side of the dam....
Ann, I think I would feel uncomfortable standing at the bottom of this dam. Murfreesboro? Did you hunt for diamonds?
Yes, we did and it was too hot!I'm a millennial woman in tech and it pisses me off how pushy other women are about going to those company meetups where they tell you that you're meek because of the men at the company and they will become your mentor and teach you how to lead like a man.

 

What is the motivation for them to be pushy about these meetings and getting the younger women to have a female mentor to teach them how to have a more dominant personality? They are VERY pushy.

 No man has EVER assumed those things about me. What kind of message does that send? To enmesh with them instead of be independent. 

I get it that it's different now than it was for boomers but holy mother of God I got into tech to do tech not women's studies!Home Essays Case Briefing-AirTex...
Discuss two elements of the control system that Frank and Ted implemented. In your opinion were these appropriate and if so what will they help achieve? After they purchased the business of Airtex Aviation, Frank and Ted implemented a control system across the whole company. I would like to discuss both action controls and personnel controls in the system. Action controls include: 1) Profit centers were merged into departments; 2) Profit centers identified revenues and expenses, which were communicated to the profit center manager; 3) Departmental managers were accounted for their profit centers, and would receive a bonus for their performance; 4) The profit center managers have their own authority. For example, they could price their products or services, they could also do what is best for their departmental interests, they could buy needed capital equipment and operating supplies within established purchase order limits, and they also had the authority to hire, fire, and administer the salary schedule independently; 5) Giving the departmental heads the granting authority and the responsibility for collections to motivate them to manager their accounts receivable; 6) Establishing an Administration Profit Center in order to make the managers effectively control their costs. Personnel controls include: 1) Ted called up and dealt with suppliers by himself instead of letting Sarah Arthur manage this issue since she was not capable of doing the company’s best interests. He also established a better relationship with the bank by himself since no one in the company would get this job done; 2) Conducting a Daily Department Report to help improve departmental managers’ management skills; 3) Frank rehired the old salesmen and led them to finish the first aircraft sales; 4) Two departments, Fuel Department and Flight School, have significant accounts receivable.

...﻿Case: Airtex Aviation Synopsis Ted Richards and Frank Edwards, long-time college friends and Harvard Business School graduates, purchased Airtex Aviation on December 29, 1989. At the time of the purchase, Airtex Aviation, located in Center County, Texas, was finishing up a fiscal year in which they had losses of sales totaling 500,000 dollars and a negative net worth. So, it was obvious to Frank and Ted early on that they were going to have their work cut out for them in order to turn their “fixer-upper” into a successful, profitable business. Ted and Frank knew little about the aviation industry at all going into the purchase,
