SXSW Day 2: NYC to ATX party + MoTel Aviv, BlackBells, Deadbeat Darling

Day 2 was the day of honing navigation skills. The Baeblemusic.com Party at the Scoot Inn lined up promising acts that alternated between indoor and outdoor stages. A park-style area was decorated with paper lanterns and framed by two bars and a food cart, and listeners relaxed on tree stumps and patches of grass. Seabear, a sextet from Iceland, melded strings and acoustic guitars into a pleasant and exotic folk rock. Inside, Washington DC’s These United States upped the energy with a Southern rock lilt and grimy Gospel flavor, and back in the sunshine, Australia’s Dappled Cities played avant guarde electro-pop. Off the main drag at the 21st Street Co-Op, a “clothing optional” shindig hosted Austin natives, MoTeL Aviv (pic below), in an abstractly painted dorm common room. I found the city’s friendliest taxi-driver en route to Hyde Park Bar and Grill (South) for The Deli’s second sponsored show, and completed my night with some 6th Street sight-seeing.

The Deli Magazine and CitizenMusic joined forces to educate Austin on some of the best artists from New York at Hyde Park Bar and Grill (South). A spacious restaurant and bar, home to the best French fries around, opened into a patio where a tent housed the live music for the evening. A SXSW suppertime party, the “NYC in ATX Showcase” entertained a group of all-aged diners, families, and rock ‘n rollers with five Big Apple acts, including Blackbells (picture below), New Madrid, The Shake, Deadbeat Darling, and Black Taxi. Blackbells offered guests free EP’s and a superb set after traveling thirty hours straight to Texas. The fiery New Madrid pushed forward with outstanding vivacity, and The Shake’s second evening at Hyde Park resulted in enthusiastic feedback and a new population of fans. The wind picked up and carried Deadbeat Darling’s blissful and stirring reggae-rock throughout venue, and Black Taxi almost blew a fuse with their high-powered instrumentation and charisma. Mission “Rock Austin” accomplished. - Meijin Bruttomesso

A heavy equipment operator undergoes rigorous training to be able to drive and manipulate the controls of these machines. An operator breaks through hard surfaces, digs and/or moves materials using the equipment dedicated for the task. While maneuvering them, an operator is expected to adhere to the various safety norms. He could be a part of a team or the sole operator of a project that could be sponsored by the government or privately owned companies. All industries like construction, mining, logging, forestry, landscaping that use heavy equipment and machines in their operations essentially need to employ specially trained and skilled personnel. They cannot afford to recruit untrained or unskilled people to operate heavy equipments. And there is always a constant shortage of qualified working force in these sectors. Heavy equipment machines are very essential in heavy scale industries and can prove beneficial to the employer in several ways provided qualified operators operate them. In today's competitive job market, employers are seeking to hire graduates that are highly specialized and well trained.Р’В  You can't afford to waste your time with an education that won't help you get the job you want.Р’В  At Centennial College, all our programs are geared for success. As part of your program, you will not only learn how to use the latest cutting edge tools, but you will also learn how to apply the latest principles from business professionals. To compliment your classroom learning, you will also get hands-on experience in the labs. Centennial's staff not only believes in providing students with the best teaching experience possible, but also to offer the best guidance and career advice. Program Overview This program will prepare you for an exciting future as a skilled professional in the heavy equipment field. The in-school training, combined with practical on-the-job experience that is gained in the co-op work placement will provide an excellent start to an apprenticeship. Centennial offers Heavy Duty Equipment Technician and Heavy equipment courses to equip students to pursue a career in it. Successful students will earn an Ontario College Diploma, will have eight months of practical, on-the-job, co-op training at a heavy equipment facility and complete their entire Ontario Apprenticeship in-school curriculum within two years. In addition, you will take courses in advanced electrical/ electronics, logistics, plus hoisting and rigging that is only available at Centennial. To complete this program, you will spend the first eight months in school, eight months in co-op as a registered apprentice, and a final eight months in school. As part of the in-school curriculum, you will train on heavy duty equipment courses assemblies in fully-equipped heavy duty equipment labs. You will focus on applied mechanics, vehicle dynamics as well as component design and repair as it applies to the apprenticeship curriculum. In addition, you will take courses in business, English and general education. Admission Requirements Centennial College expects students applying for admission to certificate or diploma programs to present at minimum an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or General Educational Development (GED) or equivalent. Possession of minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. Non-academic Requirements A significant initiative by the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana, was taken in January 1971 with the establishment of the Technology Consultancy Centre (TCC). Kumasi is the home of Ghana's largest informal industrial area or kokompe, located to the north west of the city and known locally as Suame Magazine. The then Prime Minister, Dr Kofi Busia, had commissioned the university to undertake a survey of Suame Magazine and its hundreds of grassroots vehicle repair and rebuilding workshops. So the newly fledged TCC decided to take as a primary objective an interaction with the five thousand artisans of the Magazine leading to assistance in diversifying activities by upgrading production technologies and introducing new products and services.Over the next 25 years, urban drift swelled the population of the Magazine to more than 70,000 artisans. It was largely to the credit of the university that the number of modern production facilities, level of technical capabilities and range of products kept pace with, and in some cases exceeded, the growth in human population.This evolution was a long and slow process, fraught with many delays and frustrations. Yet the team of engineers and technicians, largely assembled in the 1970s, pursued their objectives with enthusiasm and determination and all the key figures stayed at post throughout this long period. Industrial development programmes in Africa and other parts of the developing world are often abandoned after 2 to 5 years. The story of KNUST and Suame Magazine may encourage governments and development agencies to take a longer-term view.Universities are involved in teaching and the first move by the TCC in 1971 was to set up a training workshop on the university campus and invite the Suame artisans to attend for training. A few master craftsmen sent their apprentices to take advantage of the opportunity but on the whole the response was disappointing. It was soon realised that two things were needed. The first was that the training should be offered in the Magazine where it would attract more interest. The second was that the artisans needed affordable supplies of the machine tools and production facilities that they were being trained to operate.By March 1975 a plan had been drawn up for an Intermediate Technology Transfer Unit (ITTU) to be established in the heart of Suame Magazine and run by staff of the TCC. A project proposal was submitted to the Ghana Government and to various international development agencies. There was then a wait of four years before funding became available. The on-campus training continued and NGO funding allowed the importation of used machine tools from the UK to equip the first four independent workshops with trained production teams. These enterprises produced steel bolts and nuts for building, truck and fishing boat construction, and lathes and bench saws for use by local carpenters. Also manufactured were machines for extracting palm oil and processing cassava and corn.In 1979, funds were made available by the Ghana Government and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) to establish the first ITTU in Suame Magazine, Kumasi. At the same time, a project to establish a second ITTU at Tamale in the Northern Region was approved with support from the United States Agency of International Development (USAID). Tamale is nearly 400 kilometres from Kumasi and the logistical problems delayed the opening of the ITTU until 1988. However, progress in Kumasi was much faster and the Suame ITTU began operations in August 1980.At first the Suame ITTU continued the programme transferred from the university campus, training artisans to operate machine tools and supplying imported used machines at affordable prices to those who acquired the necessary skills. It also introduced the manufacture of new products including a range of machines designed for use in upgraded traditional rural industries such as soap making, post-harvest processing and craft industries. With other sections of the TCC training rural artisans and farmers to use the new equipment, by 1985 the project had established hundreds of new rural and urban enterprises employing thousands of men and women.The TCC was anxious to introduce new manufacturing technologies into Suame Magazine. Even before the ITTU had opened it had learned that the existing indigenous foundries handled only non-ferrous metals: bronze for the traditional gold weights made at Kurofofrom in Ashanti Region and aluminium alloys for cooking pots, first made in the far north at Bolgatanga and later produced in most urban centres including Kumasi. So the decision was taken to introduce iron casting and the first iron foundry was demonstrated at the Suame ITTU early in 1982.Starting with small lift-out crucible furnaces of 60 kilograms of iron capacity, the industry rapidly expanded to later employ cupola furnaces melting more than one tonne of recycled scrap cast iron at each firing. Iron casting in Suame Magazine grew to become one of the largest employers, and traders come from all over Ghana and from neighbouring countries to buy its products. The main sales depot at the Suame ITTU is stocked from floor to ceiling with corn mill grinding plates, by far the best selling product with demand from countless corn milling enterprises.The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has now been working in close association with grassroots industries for more than 40 years. The loyal band of pioneering engineers is now retired but others have come forward to take their place. These people have not taken their degrees and run off to greener pastures overseas but turned their knowledge and skills to the service of their less fortunate countrymen and women and for the betterment of the whole community. They are deserving of recognition and honour in their country and throughout the world development network. Small construction companies tend to find themselves renting and using many workers for simple things such as transport of heavy materials and equipment, often spending a lot of money for something that could actually be done simply and free. There are certain investments that every construction company should make in order to ensure that they never spend a penny on unnecessary things. Equipment such as the hydraulic jacks and caterpillar skates are essential to all prosperous and successful construction companies. With the use of this wonderful moving equipment you will not only save yourself a lot of money, but you will also save time. There is no need to put extra strain on your workers by having them do unnecessary jobs when they can save their energy for the real work instead.Both the hydraulic jacks and caterpillar skates are great for moving all types of equipment and materials with ease. Both have their individual benefits and if you have an opportunity to purchase both for your construction company, then you should not pass it up. You will find that by having this equipment you will be able to get a lot more work done quickly and with less sweat and effort. Your employees will thank you for it as well. Both are easy to manoeuvre and use and do not require anything more than someone to operate them.All construction companies have a lot of heavy equipment and materials which need to be moved around regularly. At a construction site you have to transport the building materials such as cement, sheetrock, and wood regularly, usually taking at least one day to prepare. With the caterpillar skates and hydraulic jacks you will not have to lose that day of work.Everything can be moved much quicker and will not require extra people on site as well. One important thing to keep in mind though is that both need to be on a flat and smooth surface, which may be something you need to consider when setting up to do the moving of the equipment and materials. In addition, when purchasing make sure that you are well aware of the capabilities you are looking for, you want to make sure that you know the weights that you will need to transport.Though it important to save money when doing the purchase, keep in mind that quality is most important. Especially with jacks and skates you have to make sure that you don't look for the cheapest, but for the best. Its better that you actually spend more money to invest in the future and that way you do not have to worry about having to replace them. If you have made the right choice and bought the jack or caterpillar which can withstand the weight which you plan on putting on it, then it will serve you for years to come. Solution heavy equipment

Satisfactory results in a program admission session More Welders Resort to Induction Heating For Preheating, Stress-Relieving Traditional Induction Heating Applications - Soldering                                                           - Brazing - Surface hardening - Tempering- Bonding - Curing                                                         - Encapsulating- Melting- Forging- Super heating- Crystal growing Although many industries have used induction heating for decades, it's a newcomer to industrial and construction applications involving welding. Pre-heating before welding and stress-relieving (i.e. postheating) after welding are the new uses for induction heating, and companies with weldiang-intensive operations have significantly increased efficiency as a result. Induction heating: how it works Induction heating systems employ non-contact heating. They induce heat electromagnetically rather than using a heating element in contact with a part to conduct heat, as does resistance heating. Induction heating acts more like a microwave oven; the appliance remains cool while the food cooks from within. In an industrial example of induction heating, heat is induced in the part by placing it in a high-frequency magnetic field. The magnetic field creates eddy currents inside the part, exciting the part's molecules and generating heat. Because heating occurs slightly below the metal surface, no heat is wasted. Induction heating's similarity to resistance heating is that conduction is required to heat through the section or part. The only difference is the source of heat and the temperatures of the tool. The induction process heats within the part and the resistance process heats on the surface of the part. Depth of heating depends on the frequency. High frequency (e.g., 50 khz), heats close to the surface, while low frequency (e.g., 60 Hz) penetrates deeper into the part, placing the heating source up to 3 mm deep, allowing heating of thicker parts. The induction coil does not heat-up because the conductor is large for the current being carried. In other words, the coil does not need to heat-up to heat the workpiece. Induction heating system components Induction heating systems can be air- or liquid-cooled depending on application requirements. A key component common to both systems is the induction coil used to generate heat within the part. Air-cooled system A typical air-cooled system consists of a power source (5kW or 25kW), induction blanket, and associated cables. The induction blanket consists of an induction coil surrounded by insulation and sewn into a high temperature, replaceable Kevlar sleeve. This type of induction system can include a controller to monitor and automatically control temperature. A system not equipped with a controller requires the use of a temperature indicator. The system could also include a remote on-off switch. Air-cooled systems can be used for applications up to 400 degrees F, designating it as a pre-heat only system. Liquid-cooled system Because liquid cools more efficiently than air, this type of induction heating system can be used for applications requiring higher temperatures, such as high-temperature preheating and stress relieving. The principle differences are the addition of a water cooler and the use of a flexible liquid-cooled hose that houses the induction coil. Liquid-cooled systems also generally use a temperature controller and built-in temperature recorder, particularly important components in stress relieving applications. The typical stress relieving procedure requires a step to 600-800 degrees F, followed by a ramp or controlled temperature rise to a soak temperature of approximately 1250 degrees F. After a hold time, the part is control-cooled to between 600-800 degrees F. The temperature recorder collects data on the part's actual temperature profile based on a thermocouple input, a QA requirement for stress relieving applications. The actual procedure will be determined by the type of work and the applicable code. Induction heating benefits Compared to conventional preheating and stress relieving methods, induction heating offers numerous advantages, including improved heat uniformity and quality, reduced cycle time, and lower consumables costs. Induction heating is also safe, reliable and easy to use, and scores higher than alternative technologies in power efficiency and versatility. Uniformity and quality Induction heating is not particularly sensitive to coil placement or spacing. Generally, the coils should be evenly spaced and centered on the weld joint. On systems so-equipped, a temperature controller can establish the power requirement in an analog fashion, providing just enough power to maintain the temperature profile. The power source provides power during the entire process. Reduced cycle time The induction method of preheating and stress relieving provides significantly quicker time-to-temperature. On thicker applications, such as high pressure steam lines, induction heating can slash two hours from cycle time. It is conceivable to reduce cycle time from the control temperature to soak temperature. When combined with other usability factors, it is not uncommon to expect a 50 percent total cycle time reduction. Reduced consumables costs The insulation used in induction heating is easy to attach to work pieces and can be reused many times. Conversely, ceramic fiber insulation used in resistance heating can be used only once or twice before it has to be discarded, requiring a large inventory of insulation and incurring significant costs for disposal of potentially hazardous material. In addition, in comparison to resistance system components, induction coils are robust and don't require fragile wire or ceramic materials. Also, because the induction coils and connectors don't operate at high temperatures, they are not subject to degradation, as are ceramic heating pads. Ease-of-use A major benefit of induction preheating and stress relieving is its simplicity, which contributes to easy use. Insulation and cables are simple to install, usually taking less than 15 minutes. http://inductionheater.net  has shown boilermakers and pipefitters how to use the induction equipment with just one day of training. Power efficiency The inverter power source is 92 percent efficient, a critical advantage in an era of skyrocketing energy costs. Additionally, the induction heating process is more than 80 percent efficient. Regarding power input, the induction process only requires a 40 amp line for 25kW of power. Safety Preheating and stress relieving through the induction method is extremely worker-friendly. Induction heating does not require hot heating elements and connectors. Very little airborne particulate is associated with the insulation blankets, and the insulation itself is not exposed to temperatures over 1800 degrees F, which can cause insulation to break down into dust and then breathed by workers . Reliability One of the most important factors impacting productivity in stress relieving is not interrupting the cycle. In most instances, cycle interruption means the heat treat will need to be re-run, which is significant when a thermal cycle can take a day to complete. The induction heating system components make cycle interruptions unlikely. The cabling for induction is simple, making it less likely to fail. Also, no contactors are used to control the heat input to the part. Versatility The Duolin Induction Heat Treatment System was originally designed for preheating and stress relieving of pipe. Now, users of induction heating systems have adapted the process for weldolets, elbows, valves, and other parts. One of the aspects of induction heating that makes it attractive for complex shapes is the ability to adjust the coils during the heating process to accommodate unique parts and heat sinks. The operator can start the process, determine the affects of the heating process in real-time and modify the coil position to change the result. Lastly, the induction cables can be moved without waiting for air cooling at the end of the cycle. Induction heating in welding applications DUO LIN Induction Heating Systems, Co, Ltd., the manufacturer of induction heating systems for welding applications, has proven its technology on a number of projects, including oil and gas pipelines, heavy equipment construction and maintenance and repair of mining equipment. Summaries of various projects are presented below. Oil pipeline A North American oil pipeline maintenance operation had used a combination of propane torches and electrical resistance to heat pipe before welding encirclement repair sleeves or STOPPLE fittings to the pipeline's 48-inch girth. While many repairs could be made without having to stop oil flow or drain it from the pipe, the presence of the crude itself hampered welding efficiency due to the heat sink effect of the flowing oil. Propane torches required constant interruption of welding to maintain heat, and resistance heating - while providing continuous heat - often couldn't meet required weld temperatures. The maintenance company turned to induction heating as a solution. On encirclement sleeve repairs, two 25kW systems were employed with parallel blankets to obtain a preheat temperature of 125 degrees F. As a result, cycle time was reduced from 8-12 hours to 4 hours per girth weld. Preheating for a STOPPLE fitting (a "T" junction with valve) repair had been even more challenging due to the fitting's greater wall thickness. With induction heating however, the company used four 25kW systems with a paralleled blanket set-up. Two systems were used on each side of the "T". One system was used on the mainline to preheat the oil and the second was used to preheat the "T" at the circumferential weld joint. The preheat temperature was 125 degrees F. The weld time was reduced from 12-18 hours to seven hours per girth weld. Natural gas pipeline A natural gas pipeline construction project entailed building a 36 in. diameter, .633 in. pipeline from Alberta, Canada to Chicago. On one spread of this pipeline, the welding contractor used two 25kW power sources mounted on a tractor with the induction blankets attached to booms for speed and convenience. The power sources were used to preheat both sides of the pipe joint. Critical to this process was speed and reliable temperature control. As alloy content increases in materials to reduce weight and weld time, and to increase part life, controlling preheat temperatures becomes more critical. In this induction heating application, it required less than three minutes to obtain the 250 degrees F preheat temperature, versus approximately five minutes using traditional preheating methods. In addition, temperature uniformity and operator safety were improved. Heavy Equipment A heavy equipment manufacturer often welds adapter teeth onto its loader bucket edges. Previously, the tack welded assembly was moved back and forth to a large furnace, requiring the welding operator to wait while the part was reheated repeatedly. The manufacturer opted to try induction heating to preheat the assembly to prevent movement of the product. The material is 4 in. thick with a high required preheat temperature due to alloy content. Duolin Electric worked with the customer to develop customized induction blankets to meet the application requirements. The insulation and coil design provided the added benefit of shielding the operator from the part's radiant heat. Overall, operations were considerably more efficient, reducing welding time and maintaining temperature throughout the welding process. Mining equipment A mine had been experiencing cold cracking problems and preheating inefficiency using propane heaters in its repair operations of mining equipment. Welding operators had to remove a conventional insulating blanket from the thick part frequently to apply heat and keep the part at the correct temperature. The mine opted to try induction heating using flat, air-cooled blankets to preheat the parts before welding. The induction process applied heat to the part quickly. It also could be used continuously during the welding process. Weld repair time was reduced by 50 percent. In addition, the power source was equipped with a temperature controller to keep the part at the target temperature. This virtually eliminated rework due to cold cracking. The customer reported an annual savings of $80,000. Power plant A power plant builder was constructing a natural gas power facility in California. Boilermakers and pipefitters had been experiencing construction delays due to the preheating and stress relieving methods they were employing on the plant's steam lines. One of the biggest problems on this job was reliability of the electrical resistance equipment, which suffered from contactor and connector failures and broken wires on the heating pads during stress relieving. Extensive rework as a result, combined with long heating cycles, was delaying construction significantly. The company brought in induction heating technology in an attempt to increase efficiency, particularly for work on medium to large steam lines, as these pieces take the most heat treating time required on a job site. On a typical 16 in. weldolet with a 2 in. wall thickness, resistance preheating and stress relieving used to take five-and-a-half hours to complete. Induction heating was able to shave two hours off the time-to-temperature (600 degrees F) and another hour to reach soak temperature (600 degrees F to 1350 degrees F) for stress relieving. The simplicity of wrapping the induction blankets around complex shapes further reduced the time to perform the heat treat. It took the fitters 15 minutes to wrap a joint that would have required two workers two hours to prepare using a resistance set-up.   Length of heavy equipment operator training programs: 1.5 – 6+ months A proper vocation becomes an important thing as you dream of a career in construction. Operating heavy equipment to earn a living can be realized only with certified heavy equipment training. Today, we have a lot of great schools across the United States and Canada that give quite a good training in equipment management.The demand of educated heavy equipment operators in the infrastructure, construction and the mining industries are on the upward incline. The industries are immensely dependant on the heavy equipments as they serve the purpose of making a strong and long-lasting infrastructure. But lack of skilled heavy equipment operators in the industry, fails to meet the requirement. The demand for the qualified heavy equipment operators in last few years has been tremendous. Therefore, various training schools have opened up to serve the mounting demand for qualified operators. These schools teach you everything you should know as you operate bulldozers, dump trucks, cranes, excavators, wheel loaders, and much more.Most of the training schools are operated through the people who have been in this industry for years and who are proficient enough to provide all the information you need to know as a trained heavy equipment operator. Basically, all these training programs are planned in a way, where a student's safety comes first. Educational programs are generally divided in the following phases: If you deal with heavy equipment you know there are no shortages of challenges associated with it that you have to deal with on a consistent basis including getting them to and from the job site, maintaining them in good working order and probably the biggest challenge is finding qualified reliable operators to ensure your equipment is put to good use and the job gets done right and one time.With all of these things on your mind it would be nice to not have to worry as much about how you are going to pay for and make payments on the equipment you need to get the jobs done. Here again there are many issues that are going to crop up including handling seasonal fluctuations in the work load, slow payment from customers and the ongoing need to manage and upgrade your equipment fleet.The problem with using traditional financing such as from a bank or the equipment vendor is that they are not set up to be flexible enough or accommodating enough to offer you the kind of payment plan and benefits you can get from an independent heavy equipment leasing specialist.A good lease offers you the ability to structure payments around the times when your equipment will be in use and generating income and not cause you to get hit with payments when your equipment is sitting idle.A good lease will also offer you the ability to maximize your tax benefits which can significantly boost the bottom line and help your overall profitability. Another benefit you can realize is simply being able to keep a lot more of your cash available for other expenses and costs which are going to come up and often when you least expect it. With a lease you can maintain your existing credit lines and keep your capital working for you instead of having it tied up in depreciating equipment.There are lots of advantages to using a lease and while it won't always pencil out as the best option it will in many cases and it is certainly worth taking the few minutes it requires to get a quote and explore the possibilities. It may also be your only option if you have already exhausted your purchase capital or if you have some credit dings.Heavy equipment leasing is usually a lot more forgiving of those types of issues than bank lending or other forms of financing you may be considering. You also can get going a lot quicker and the application is generally much shorter and less demanding than going through a bank review. Plus with a lease you will never be asked to put up additional collateral for security and you can often sign up without any personal guarantee but just using strictly the corporation entity as the guarantor.Overall if you are in a position to be thinking about acquiring some new or used heavy equipment for your business in the near future you should do yourself a favor and look into the option of leasing it as you may very well be pleasantly surprised at just how good a deal it turns out to be all around.

Friendly People EP

mp3

Friendly People’s debut, self-titled 3-song EP gives a concise taste of a promising young Cambridge, MA-based band. Their jangly indie pop is peppered with hints of Americana, roots rock and folk with vocals that owe a debt to Neil Young. The EP’s clear highlight is its opening track—their namesake song—“Friendly People”. It’s a tremendous, positive track buoyed by a horn section in the bridge which lends a mariachi feel. “A Lot of Work To Do” brings out Harvest-era Neil Young, starting as a plaintive acoustic ditty which builds slowly into a passionate electric number. Closing track, “Branches”, follows the same acoustic-to-electric path. As the song builds, it introduces tribal rhythms that are reminiscent of 80s indie-punk legends, the Volcano Suns. Friendly People are scheduled to record their debut full-length in March. If the Friendly People EP is indicative of what we can expect from this young group’s next batch of tunes it will be a record to keep an eye on later in 2012.--George Dow
