In dieser Folge von Moove geht es endlich mal um Motoren – das Thema Kolben, für die das Unternehmen unseres Gastes so bekannt ist, spielt dabei aber keine Rolle. Denn wie es sich für einen New Mobility Podcast gehört, geht es um den E-Antrieb und also auch um Elektromotoren. Dr. Martin Berger, Vice President Corporate Research and Advanced Engineering bei Mahle, hat mit seinem Team eine neuartige Synchronmaschine entwickelt und erklärt im Podcast, wie er bei dieser Bauart Permanentmagnete, die aus seltenen Erden gefertigt sind, entbehrlich macht, ohne mit Schleifkontakten zu arbeiten – warum also der E-Motor von Mahle eine Antwort auf Rohstoffknappheit und gleichzeitig wartungsfrei ist. Außerdem erläutert der studierte Elektrotechniker, warum er auf die fremd erregte Synchronmaschine setzt und erklärt die Alternativen wie die Asynchronmaschine, das generelle Prinzip des Elektromotors, bei dem 90 Prozent Wirkungsgrad „niemand mehr hinter dem Ofen hervorholt“ und warum der E-Motor fürs Auto trotzdem noch nicht ausentwickelt ist. Außerdem spricht der promovierte Informatiker über das Prinzip des Reluktanzmotors und seine Nachteile, und darüber, warum Verluste bei der Asynchronmaschine nicht vom Schlupf kommen, was der E-Motor von Mahle mit einem Transformator zu tun hat, wo ein E-Motor Wechselspannung braucht, obwohl die Batterie Gleichspannung liefert, wieso bei E-Motoren Bürsten vorkommen können und weshalb die im Sinne der Wartungsfreiheit nicht zur Anwendung kommen sollten.

Meaning Business is a new podcast series, where Simon Lambert speaks to people from the world of business, who are doing interesting, innovative and meaningful things. It will appear in your feed, in addition to our usual weekly This is Money podcast. In these interviews, Simon will find out more about the other side of business away from profits and growth - and how it can be a force for good. Meaning Business will uncover the stories behind business ideas, the inspiration driving entrepreneurs and how those interviewed cut their path to where they are today. On this first episode, Meaning Business gets topical and speaks to Craig Wilson, Managing Director of Williams Advanced Engineering and part of the Ventilator Challenge UK project. Williams Advanced Engineering draws on the motorsport heritage, knowledge, technology and way of working of the Williams Formula One team, and it has been involved in Ventilator Challenge UK – working with other high-tech British engineers to get more ventilators built quickly to deal with the coronavirus outbreak.
Je wordt bijgepraat over de nieuwe seizoensopener, eventuele dubbele raceweekenden, de gevolgen van opgeven, wat Jan Lammers denkt dat verstandig is en de financiële strop die Williams heeft geknoopt.
PT Blink is a technology platform that enables multi-storey developments to be built very quickly, via its unique Design, Manufacture & Integrate (DMI) process. It is a quantum leap for the Property Development Market. The open nature of the PT Blink DMI Platform encourages a local community of participants that bring expertise in specific areas. From structural design to interior and exterior component design (facades, glazing, bathrooms modules, etc) through to manufacture, the platform is designed to accommodate multiple stakeholders in a collaborative ‘design to manufacture’ process. Murray, who is also a governor of the Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering at Sydney University, has developed scalable building technology using a patented steel structural backbone strengthened using post-tensioned steel cables. The components are all manufactured and stressed off site, with reinforcement, fire collars and services included. The solutions do not rely on the lift core for stability empowering much faster outcomes. While PT Blink is a start-up, it’s been three decades in the making. Murray has worked around the world on large and complex projects. He developed post-tensioned steel technology for long-spanning projects like stadiums and aircraft hangars and recognised the potential for multi-storey construction. Physically the backbone is made from post-tensioned steel in a factory, no matter how tall or wide the development. The platform forms the incredibly accurate motherboard for each approved manufacturer. They provide their manufacturing model onto the blink platform, together with cost, delivery time and quality attributes. At the heart of PT Blink’s process is an innovative delivery method – design, manufacture and assemble or DMA – which is safer, more accurate, faster and cheaper.

После экспериментов с C++ ведущие начали опасаться за свое психическое состояние, и, поняв, что нужно с этим что-то делать, они решают, что самое время звать Андрея Бреслава! Андрей, Kotlin Project Lead в JetBrains и CTO Alter, давно увлекается психологией и психотерапией (проект Alter как раз про это), и, очевидно, лучшая кандидатура для подобных бесед. Ведущие начинают издалека и, для начала, чтобы не попасть в просак, аккуратно пытаются выяснить, чем все-таки отличается психолог от психотерапевта, и неожиданно узнают много новых слов, но, тем не менее, продолжают копать: насколько профессия программиста опасна для психического здоровья, что такое гештальт-терапия и еще несколько умных слов, какие ранние признаки выгорания и что, кроме выгорания, может представлять опасность, нужно ли тимлиду обязательно быть психологом и чем в этом может помочь Alter? Но неожиданно скатываются в глубокую рефлексию, попутно выяснив, что все без исключения самозванцы. Смирившись с этой грустной новостью, все решают, что наилучший способ побороть синдром, это немедленно что-нибудь отметить и повод, конечно, находится (Данис недавно прошел ассессмент на Advanced Engineering).

Show #444 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 15th April 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today, and picked out the best ones to save you time. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Hello to new Patreon PRODUCER MARTIN HORNER VOLKSWAGEN PUSHES BATTERY PARTNERS TO BUILD GIGAFACTORIES "Volkswagen is pushing its joint venture partners including SK Innovation (SKI) to build electric car battery plants which have at least one Gigawatt manufacturing capacity, Chief Executive Herbert Diess told Reuters." in a report today: "Volkswagen will buy 50 billion euros ($56.57 billion) worth of battery cells for electric cars and has identified South Korea’s SKI, LG Chem and Samsung SDI as strategic battery cell suppliers as well as China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL)." https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-autoshow-shanghai-vw/volkswagen-pushes-battery-partners-to-build-gigafactories-idUKKCN1RR09A?utm_source=applenews PORSCHE JAPAN SELECTS ABB TO BUILD CHADEMO INFRASTRUCTURE FOR TAYCAN "ABB announced that it was selected by Porsche Japan for a joint development project of next-generation EV chargers for the Japanese market" says InsideEVs today: "According to the press release, the two will develop a “dedicated high-power charger” with power output exceeding 150 kW." From the press release: "“ABB has entered into an agreement to deliver its market-leading electric vehicle infrastructure for Porsche Japan’s EVs, including Taycan, the automaker’s first fully electric car, set to enter the Japanese market in 2020. Under the terms, Porsche Japan will install ABB’s high-power chargers at Porsche Centers and public facilities across the country, creating a network of fast chargers for its electric vehicles. The first installation is set to go live in mid-2020." https://insideevs.com/porsche-japan-chademo-charging-infrastructure/ AUDI AI:ME UNVEILED AS REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE EV FOR THE CITY" "The Volkswagen I.D. Roomzz isn’t the only new fully electric concept VAG is introducing at the Auto Shanghai 2019 in China as Audi is also attending the event to showcase the new AI:ME. Sending out a futuristic A2 vibe, the new showcar carrying the Four Rings takes the shape of a compact zero-emissions hatchback developed primarily for city use." reports Adrian Padeanu for Motor1.com: "Audi believes an equivalent production version would mostly travel at speeds between 20 and 70 kph (12 to 43 mph) over short distances. With that in mind, the AI:ME was conceived with a simple hardware configuration encompassing a 65-kWh battery pack ideal for city use, although the actual range isn’t specified. The design is as futuristic as you’d expect from a concept, complete with rear suicide doors and the absence of conventional B-pillars. Intricate LED headlights and taillights lend the electric hatch a high-tech look, while the use of real plants inside the minimalistic cabin is a first in an automobile, according to Audi. Not that it comes as a big surprise, but the AI:ME has been envisioned with a highly advanced autonomous driving system with level 4 capabilities." https://www.motor1.com/news/344623/audi-ai-me-concept-revealed/ DUBAI POLICE UNVEIL NEW FLEET OF ELECTRIC CARS "Police in Dubai are going green with their new eco-friendly fleet of electric patrol cars to support the emirate's sustainability drive. Dubai Police officers will be getting behind the wheel of 13 Renault Zoe electric cars, secured from Arabian Automobiles." according to TheNational.ae: "Dubai Police is not the only state service helping to protect the planet. In February, Dubai Corporation of Ambulance Services unveiled the Zero DS, which produces no heat, vibration or fumes. The ambulance service said the emergency vehicle would be used for rapid intervention and immediate response situations." https://www.thenational.ae/uae/environment/dubai-police-unveil-new-fleet-of-electric-cars-1.849076 TESLA DELIVERS FIRST $35,000 MODEL 3S TO A HAPPY FEW CUSTOMERS "Tesla has started deliveries of the long-promised Model 3 for $35,000 to a happy few customers, but the delivery of the promised vehicle is expected to be short lived." says Fred at Electrek today: "After Tesla announced that it is moving away from the promised base version of Model 3 at $35,000 last week, the automaker confirmed that it would start deliveries this weekend with a software-locked version of the Model 3 Standard Range Plus. Now several buyers have reached out to Electrek to confirm that they have taken delivery of the ‘Model 3 Standard Range’. The vehicle is virtually identical to the more expensive Standard Range Plus version of the Model 3 except that Tesla has software-locked the battery pack at 90% of its capacity and disabled some features like “onboard music streaming service, navigation with live traffic visualization, and heated seats.” https://electrek.co/2019/04/15/tesla-delivers-35000-model-3/ PURE ELECTRIC VEHICLES ENTER PHASE OF FASTEST GROWTH REPORT CLAIMS A series of new reports from IDTechEx Research says the electric vehicles have officially entered their fastest phase of growth. While good news, it isn't too unexpected. Rapid improvements in technology have expanded the electric vehicle market in so many ways." Battery costs have dropped whilst their range and efficiency have increased. At the same time, governments across the world are embracing policies that emphasis no carbon emission transport. One of the studies by the independent market research company examines the rise of electric buses across the globe." https://interestingengineering.com/pure-electric-vehicles-enter-phase-of-fastest-growth-report-claims ELON MUSK SAYS TESLA IS “VASTLY AHEAD” ON SELF-DRIVING "Tesla is less than two years away from full self-driving, CEO Elon Musk said in an interview with MIT researcher Lex Fridman published on Friday. And he said Tesla was far ahead of other companies working on self-driving technology." according to Ars Technica article today: "Musk told Fridman that Tesla customers would need to keep their hands on the wheel "for at least six months or something like that." But he predicted that soon—"maybe even toward the end of this year, I'd be shocked if it's not next year at the latest"—Tesla's self-driving technology will become so good that "having a human intervene will decrease safety." https://arstechnica.com/cars/2019/04/elon-musk-says-tesla-is-vastly-ahead-on-self-driving/ LOTUS TO UNVEIL £1M+ ELECTRIC HYPERCAR AT SHANGHAI MOTOR SHOW "BRITISH car maker Lotus is set to pull the wraps off a £1m+ pure-electric hypercar at the Shanghai Motor Show later today." says the Sunday Times Driving: "The low-volume sports car’s £1m+ pure-electric performance model would sit at the top of the Lotus family tree, and go up against extreme supercars from Aston Martin and McLaren. The car would be fitted with electric motor and battery tech developed in partnership with the Williams F1 team’s Advanced Engineering division." https://www.driving.co.uk/news/lotus-unveil-1m-electric-hypercar-shanghai-motor-show/ COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: Let’s face it, the smartest people don’t all work in your organization. The thought has been shared by many leaders, such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and is originally attributed to Bill Joy, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems and UNIX contributor. He said, “The smartest people in the world don’t all work for us; most of them work for someone else.” To benefit from the creativity of smart people who are external to your organization, you need a way to find and attract them to contribute their brain power. There are time-tested ways to accomplish this, including traditional open innovation, incubators, and startups. Another approach is a partner program. Ford Motor Company has used this approach for decades. By continuously learning and improving, they are a leader in the approach with answers for others considering a partner program. To explain how their system works and tips for implementing a partner program, Ed Krause joins us. He is the Global Manager External Alliances Research and Advanced Engineering at Ford Motor Company. He has global responsibility for developing cutting edge technology and competitive advantage for Ford by developing relationships and collaborative projects involving universities and partner companies. Anyone interested in open innovation or a more formal partner program will find this discussion valuable.
Paul, Gio and Joe are joined by Jeremy Whittingham from Easyfairs (owners of the Advanced Engineering show) at the NEC in Birmingham. A topical show exploring what can be seen at this popular annual event. In the usual style, the MTD crew challenge Jeremy with some interesting questions about trade shows in general, trends at events and why this particular show has witnessed 10 years of growth.

Lowe’s Destroyed My Life and HomeWe moved in when I was in the 5th grade back in 1975. It was a beautiful country family home with a huge yard, two creeks and only 12 minutes to the State Capitol, and 3 miles to town. It was a solid well-built home, very clean and perfect for raising kids in a great neighborhood. Everyone here knows us, and respected us because we worked hard and helped our neighbors when needed, we went to our local church, I cut most of my neighbor’s grass growing up, I couldn’t ask for a better place to live or to raise my own kids. I lived here my whole life. I only moved out when I was married twice, but I moved back in after my first divorce and back with my second wife Just after my dad died in 2008. Both my mom and dad had cancer at the same time and my mom needed me. My mom told me she wanted to put on a new roof on our home because the roof we had wasn’t attractive. We had a newer nice sheet roof professionally installed some years before, but my mom never did like the color of it and wanted a dark grey almost black roof to match the house shutters. We put a lot of care and time in this family home and it was being handed down to me being the only son. I lived here; I had to help my mom since she herself couldn’t do a lot on her own with her having cancer. Both my mom and dad loved this home as I did too, lots of care went into our home. I always painted it, I kept the yard cut perfectly, it was very well kept, just ask any of my 40 years plus neighbors. We had double insulation in attic, thermal pane windows, and brand new $10,000 oak kitchen cabinets that were also bought and installed by Lowe’s and just paid off before the roof was installed. My mom went to Lowe’s and they sold her a $10,000. roof she wanted to put on my home as a gift while she was still alive. At first, I was pretty upset with her paying $10k for a roof knowing that was two to three times the price of the competitor’s price. She told me they would charge parts and labor to her Lowe’s credit card and it was the best roof made they told her and it would be installed by the most trusted name in the business, “Lowe’s”. She told me she wanted to give me the home to raise my kids here just as they raised me here in our home, my family home. She said she felt comfortable with Lowe’s installing it. I respect and love my mom deeply.Lowe’s started late 2011 installing this new top of the line roof and was finished just before Christmas 2011. Three weeks into December it rained, and we filled up three five-gallon buckets to the top for a leaking roof. Being under warranty Lowe’s came out and made a repair. In fact, every rain, every snow it leaked, and they came out to fix it for the first year and let me tell you it leaked a lot! After one year they refused to come fix it without charging us and it was one repair after another. Some repairs didn’t show signs of leaking if it was a light rain, but if it was a hard rain or inches of snow it leaked pretty badly. I know we spent thousands more on repairs after the warranty ran out. We had to buy two Kenmore dehumidifiers, and a Rainbow carpet steam vac to suck up the moisture from the regular leaks. Many times, while I was in college my paperwork would get wet overnight from a new leak if I left it out on our table. The leaks were mostly over the restroom, dining room, kitchen, laundry room. Heavy rains it leaked over the other rooms too. Once I took my winter coat out of my closet as winter set in and it was covered in mold and wouldn’t come clean, this has happened too many of our personal things because you never knew where it would leak. I bought two brands new Catnaper couches and a new bunk bed with memory foam mattresses while I was in college on WV works program for $4,000. And they were covered in mold in no time even with the dehumidifiers running around the clock. I went to college to be a music teacher and I made a recording studio in our living room and even with the dehumidifiers running much of my gear shorted out because of moisture. I put the gear in a local repair shop and this was confirmed moisture damage costing me many thousands of dollars from loss of gear, loss of work. I was also a well-known radio host, I hosted many of my radio shows with millions of listeners from my home studio on G.H.T.R. (GHTALKRADIO.COM) worldwide podcast and having many of the world’ largest podcast radio shows like; Late Night with Rob & Kris, Kris Allen’s Worldwide Monster Theater, Night at the Round Table, and the Morning Meltdown. I was forced to quit when I had to move out of my house many years later and live in a tiny camper.I was told I had to move out after I had a waterline bust two years ago. My home owner insurance didn’t feel they were responsible because a water line in my wall froze. Now my home was almost 100% heated with wood from large wood stove less than 12 feet from the waterline that bust. This was a very cold winter and I was keeping the wood stove hot around the clock and my electric furnace and electric heaters on. It seemed like I could not keep the house warm at all and this house was made for cold winters with an extra layer of insulation in the attic, a drop celling and new thermal pane windows throughout the house. My insurance company sent out Advanced Engineering to look at my house from top to bottom and they made a very detailed report of their findings on my home. The engineer told me whatever idiots installed my roof were responsible for my waterline busting and my floors buckling. He also told me my walls were soaked because whomever put the shingle roof on the 2 -1/4 grade slope should have use metal or better than metal, rubber. Plus, they cut the overhang off at the edge of the roof allowing water to soak my walls giving me a very little if any R-Value insulating thus busting the waterline and flooding my floors. The floors nails were rust rotting staying wet from the walls. He also said the valley of the house wasn’t installed right and there was a total of three code violations on my roof filling my home with mold, black mold too. We were unaware of mold filling our walls, our celling and floors before this but me and my kids have been sick with many breathing issues not long after the new roof was installed. My two boys had missed lots of school, in and out of Kid care and other local pediatrics for asthma like symptoms. They were given breathing treatments and even rented a nebulizer because we were completely unaware of the mold growing unseen inside the walls before we found out later found on. I remember cleaning under our new couches and as I pulled them away from the walls I was horrified of what I seen growing on the back sides of these two couches, mold, lots of it too on both walls and couches! Countless times we fell asleep on these couches watching TV……. what is growing inside our lungs now I often wonder. I called Lowe’s and told them this MUST STOP NOW, in fear of our lives, my kid’s lives, enough was enough! The manager of the local Lowe’s pretty much called me a liar when I told him they charged labor and parts on our Lowe’s card. He replied with an attitude; SIR, WE DO NOT ADD LABOR ON YOUR CARD! PARTS YES BUT NOT LABOR! I told him they did, but he would not believe me or listen to me. Now with the years of damage for water leaking from the roof and now busted waterline, kids being sick (me too) and my electric bill going through the roof heating the house and running not one but two dehumidifiers and all of the extra wood I had to cut and or buy, losing my gear and home to moisture damage taking money out of my pockets and now being called a liar I think I about lost it. I took the contract to see their store manager to put my contract in his face……but he wouldn’t see me! I did however see another manager and they finally sent out their insurance manager, Kevin Mullins. When Mr. Mullins pulled up he said he didn’t even have to get out of his car, he said he seen the work on the 2-1/4 pitch roof and he knew they were guilty. Mr. Mullins brought out three different contractors I met when they came to look at my house to fix my house they would never return? They would never show up except the last one, the third one and this was Chris Jones, from Classic Construction, from Huntington, W.V. I found out later from Mr. Jones at Classic Construction that Mr. Mullins lied saying I chased off the other two contractors, that was crazy, I was very excited to finally get my house fixed, and why would I dare chase them off. Mr. Mullins told me whatever was needed for the repairs would be taken care of. They even called around for the hotels with a kitchenette to put me in until the work was finished plus expenses and at the time the rooms were about $200 per day. Lowe’s paid me $7500 for the first month. They hired Classic Construction to remove everything I owned from my home. Almost everything was thrown away, my brand-new couches, bunk beds, my bed, and my furniture; my appliances including my 3-month-old stainless steel refrigerator because the refrigerator’s fan sucked in the mold spores and it would not be safe for saving since food was kept inside (it too was bought at Lowe’s). I lost all of my family’s photos! I lost things impossible to add a price tag to it like videos of me as a baby, and my kids first born. I sang to them while inside their mom on video. I had a hope chest of things I made from kinder garden on, I had 8 world hit songs on the world charts and my music recording reels of my songs recorded in Nashville were damaged by mold, my books, newspapers and magazines I had been featured in, all of my awards I spent my whole life training for, won or received, everything gone. I was left without one single photo of my dad, or my kids, my childhood was completely gone as with my kids past childhood gone too. Lowe’s insurance manage Mr. Mullins told me I didn’t have to stay in the hotel, I could stay wherever

Everyone here knows us, and respected us because we worked hard and helped our neighbors when needed, we went to our local church, I cut most of my neighbor’s grass growing up, I couldn’t ask for a better place to live or to raise my own kids. I lived here my whole life. I only moved out when I was married twice, but I moved back in after my first divorce and back with my second wife Just after my dad died in 2008. Both my mom and dad had cancer at the same time and my mom needed me. My mom told me she wanted to put on a new roof on our home because the roof we had wasn’t attractive. We had a newer nice sheet roof professionally installed some years before, but my mom never did like the color of it and wanted a dark grey almost black roof to match the house shutters. We put a lot of care and time in this family home and it was being handed down to me being the only son. I lived here; I had to help my mom since she herself couldn’t do a lot on her own with her having cancer. Both my mom and dad loved this home as I did too, lots of care went into our home. I always painted it, I kept the yard cut perfectly, it was very well kept, just ask any of my 40 years plus neighbors. We had double insulation in attic, thermal pane windows, and brand new $10,000 oak kitchen cabinets that were also bought and installed by Lowe’s and just paid off before the roof was installed. My mom went to Lowe’s and they sold her a $10,000. roof she wanted to put on my home as a gift while she was still alive. At first, I was pretty upset with her paying $10k for a roof knowing that was two to three times the price of the competitor’s price. She told me they would charge parts and labor to her Lowe’s credit card and it was the best roof made they told her and it would be installed by the most trusted name in the business, “Lowe’s”. She told me she wanted to give me the home to raise my kids here just as they raised me here in our home, my family home. She said she felt comfortable with Lowe’s installing it. I respect and love my mom deeply. Lowe’s started late 2011 installing this new top of the line roof and was finished just before Christmas 2011. Three weeks into December it rained, and we filled up three five-gallon buckets to the top for a leaking roof. Being under warranty Lowe’s came out and made a repair. In fact, every rain, every snow it leaked, and they came out to fix it for the first year and let me tell you it leaked a lot! After one year they refused to come fix it without charging us and it was one repair after another. Some repairs didn’t show signs of leaking if it was a light rain, but if it was a hard rain or inches of snow it leaked pretty badly. I know we spent thousands more on repairs after the warranty ran out. We had to buy two Kenmore dehumidifiers, and a Rainbow carpet steam vac to suck up the moisture from the regular leaks. Many times, while I was in college my paperwork would get wet overnight from a new leak if I left it out on our table. The leaks were mostly over the restroom, dining room, kitchen, laundry room. Heavy rains it leaked over the other rooms too. Once I took my winter coat out of my closet as winter set in and it was covered in mold and wouldn’t come clean, this has happened too many of our personal things because you never knew where it would leak. I bought two brands new Catnaper couches and a new bunk bed with memory foam mattresses while I was in college on WV works program for $4,000. And they were covered in mold in no time even with the dehumidifiers running around the clock. I went to college to be a music teacher and I made a recording studio in our living room and even with the dehumidifiers running much of my gear shorted out because of moisture. I put the gear in a local repair shop and this was confirmed moisture damage costing me many thousands of dollars from loss of gear, loss of work. I was also a well-known radio host, I hosted many of my radio shows with millions of listeners from my home studio on G.H.T.R. (GHTALKRADIO.COM) worldwide podcast and having many of the world’ largest podcast radio shows like; Late Night with Rob & Kris, Kris Allen’s Worldwide Monster Theater, Night at the Round Table, and the Morning Meltdown. I was forced to quit when I had to move out of my house many years later and live in a tiny camper. I was told I had to move out after I had a waterline bust two years ago. My home owner insurance didn’t feel they were responsible because a water line in my wall froze. Now my home was almost 100% heated with wood from large wood stove less than 12 feet from the waterline that bust. This was a very cold winter and I was keeping the wood stove hot around the clock and my electric furnace and electric heaters on. It seemed like I could not keep the house warm at all and this house was made for cold winters with an extra layer of insulation in the attic, a drop celling and new thermal pane windows throughout the house. My insurance company sent out Advanced Engineering to look at my house from top to bottom and they made a very detailed report of their findings on my home. The engineer told me whatever idiots installed my roof were responsible for my waterline busting and my floors buckling. He also told me my walls were soaked because whomever put the shingle roof on the 2 -1/4 grade slope should have use metal or better than metal, rubber. Plus, they cut the overhang off at the edge of the roof allowing water to soak my walls giving me a very little if any R-Value insulating thus busting the waterline and flooding my floors. The floors nails were rust rotting staying wet from the walls. He also said the valley of the house wasn’t installed right and there was a total of three code violations on my roof filling my home with mold, black mold too. We were unaware of mold filling our walls, our celling and floors before this but me and my kids have been sick with many breathing issues not long after the new roof was installed. My two boys had missed lots of school, in and out of Kid care and other local pediatrics for asthma like symptoms. They were given breathing treatments and even rented a nebulizer because we were completely unaware of the mold growing unseen inside the walls before we found out later found on. I remember cleaning under our new couches and as I pulled them away from the walls I was horrified of what I seen growing on the back sides of these two couches, mold, lots of it too on both walls and couches! Countless times we fell asleep on these couches watching TV……. what is growing inside our lungs now I often wonder. I called Lowe’s and told them this MUST STOP NOW, in fear of our lives, my kid’s lives, enough was enough! The manager of the local Lowe’s pretty much called me a liar when I told him they charged labor and parts on our Lowe’s card. He replied with an attitude; SIR, WE DO NOT ADD LABOR ON YOUR CARD! PARTS YES BUT NOT LABOR! I told him they did, but he would not believe me or listen to me. Now with the years of damage for water leaking from the roof and now busted waterline, kids being sick (me too) and my electric bill going through the roof heating the house and running not one but two dehumidifiers and all of the extra wood I had to cut and or buy, losing my gear and home to moisture damage taking money out of my pockets and now being called a liar I think I about lost it. I took the contract to see their store manager to put my contract in his face……but he wouldn’t see me! I did however see another manager and they finally sent out their insurance manager, Kevin Mullins. When Mr. Mullins pulled up he said he didn’t even have to get out of his car, he said he seen the work on the 2-1/4 pitch roof and he knew they were guilty. Mr. Mullins brought out three different contractors I met when they came to look at my house to fix my house they would never return? They would never show up except the last one, the third one and this was Chris Jones, from Classic Construction, from Huntington, W.V. I found out later from Mr. Jones at Classic Construction that Mr. Mullins lied saying I chased off the other two contractors, that was crazy, I was very excited to finally get my house fixed, and why would I dare chase them off. Mr. Mullins told me whatever was needed for the repairs would be taken care of. They even called around for the hotels with a kitchenette to put me in until the work was finished plus expenses and at the time the rooms were about $200 per day. Lowe’s paid me $7500 for the first month. They hired Classic Construction to remove everything I owned from my home. Almost everything was thrown away, my brand-new couches, bunk beds, my bed, and my furniture; my appliances including my 3-month-old stainless steel refrigerator because the refrigerator’s fan sucked in the mold spores and it would not be safe for saving since food was kept inside (it too was bought at Lowe’s). I lost all of my family’s photos! I lost things impossible to add a price tag to it like videos of me as a baby, and my kids first born. I sang to them while inside their mom on video. I had a hope chest of things I made from kinder garden on, I had 8 world hit songs on the world charts and my music recording reels of my songs recorded in Nashville were damaged by mold, my books, newspapers and magazines I had been featured in, all of my awards I spent my whole life training for, won or received, everything gone. I was left without one single photo of my dad, or my kids, my childhood was completely gone as with my kids past childhood gone too. Lowe’s insurance manage Mr. Mullins told me I didn’t have to stay in the hotel, I could stay wherever
Lowe’s Destroyed My Life and HomeWe moved in when I was in the 5th grade back in 1975.

Visiting Fellowship in New Zealand In 2008, Center Manager Jim Schwab, AICP, was invited by the Centre for Advanced Engineering in New Zealand (CAENZ), located at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, to serve as a Visiting Fellow, studying New Zealand hazards planning and offering consultation on national hazards policy. Schwab's trip lasted three weeks from July 25 to August 15, 2008, during which time he traveled the country, delivering seven different lectures and seminars, including presentation at the Australasian Natural Hazards Conference and to a joint meeting of staff members of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management. A year later, in October 2009, Kristin Hoskin, who had managed Jim's itinerary for CAENZ, visited APA in Chicago, where she delivered a presentation and was interviewed for a podcast.
