Hurt by Trump’s tariffs, U.S. companies plead for exemptions | Aluminum U Channel

To find the best desk lamps, we consulted a group of people with high aesthetic standards: architects. While they may spend less time these days, if any at all, staring at physical blueprints in favor of CAD work, that doesn’t negate the need for a desk lamp. The Luxo L-1 Task Lamp — the design that inspired the Pixar mascot — is the beloved classic. Designed in 1937 by Jac Jacobsen, the style has shed light on the drawing boards of generations of architects. But there are updates and more inventive designs out there, so I asked 14 architects in six international cities to tell us which desk lamps they use, and why. From a cheap-but-reliable Ikea version to a colorful Memphis-style design, here are 12 desk lamps that go beyond the L-1 (plus, of course, the classic Luxo up first).

"We were not legally separated, and never even discussed divorce. We were best friends trying to work through our problems in the best way we knew how," he continued. "We were together for 35 years. We loved each other very much and simply needed a break."

Discord lets you connect other social media accounts to the app to make it easier to track down people you know and flesh out your user profile. Since the app combines private communications with public chat rooms, connecting accounts goes beyond the usual use of finding people you’re already friends with to connect to on Discord. It also makes it easier for people to know who you are in the real world, should you so choose.

Related was obliged to leave half of the platform open to the sky. A strip of new parkland, running onto the site from the north, would flow into a public space about the size of Union Square Park. To the east, there would be a shopping mall; to the south, Related was expected to accommodate, but not operate, an arts institution known as the Culture Shed. (It is now the Shed.) This building was initially oriented on a north-south axis. In 2010, a remarkable design, by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, was made public: a six-floor box with two nesting translucent canopies, which could be rolled out onto an adjoining area, creating an additional covered exhibition or performance space. (These two canopies later became one.) Ross was unhappy when he realized that the canopies—expected to be deployed for at least half the year—would claim space that he considered his. “I thought, There’s no way in the world!” he told me. “I said, ‘It’s going to block my retail.’ ”

Trump’s inability to pass significant border legislation despite Republicans controlling the House and the Senate is mostly his own fault. After signing an executive order that ostensibly placed the onus on Congress to end the administration’s family separation policy, the president offered little guidance to House Republicans. After failing to endorse either immigration bill put forth by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), and even telling Republicans to “stop wasting their time” with immigration, Trump abruptly endorsed a compromised version of the bill the morning it was set to go to vote. It was too late, though. Nothing passed. As the year draws to a close, Trump’s relationship with Congress hasn’t gotten any less confused, nor will it once Democrats take over next month.

California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!

These machinist squares are essentially glorified right angles held to a very tight tolerance, somewhere between 0.0001 to 0.0008 inches (0.00254 to 0.02032 mm) for a modest set that wont break the bank. There’s no magic to using these. Simply hold it flush to the corner we’re interested in keeping square; then, gently tighten down the fasteners. Without much effort, we can guarantee a very high degree of accuracy across corners. Squaring up corners is, by far, one of the easiest operations we can perform to keep our gantry frame in-line with the design. Provided that we can readjust our connector setpoints, a few minutes with a machinist square can save us hours of potential redesign time.

To fix this problem, if we must put our profiles together this way, our best bet is to finish off the ends with a milling machine.

Good stuff, and the stiffness over a number of feet is a factor, but put a right angle into the extrusion and just like an I-beam you’ve fixed the flex issue.

Nolan chose a tricky political path in recent years, framing himself as a progressive who supports mining expansion. His work to speed up a necessary land swap for the proposed PolyMet copper-nickel mine drew intense criticism from some traditional Democratic allies, who say the project needs more review.
