Podcasts about steel mills

In a week, 230 New Zealanders were given confirmation Kinleith Mill was over. The Australians facing the same scenario at a place called Whyalla in South Australia did something completely different. The steel mill is owned by a British billionaire and it's in a world of financial trouble. It may well go to the wall. It employs 1000 people in a town of 22,000. So the state Government, backed by the Federal Government, has bought it. Even for a Labour Government in Australia it is an extraordinary move. But the assessment is, in a small town, you can't afford to lose that many jobs. They will look for a buyer, they will look for finance and they will look to rejig the place to solve the problem. But in the meantime, the place is open and the jobs are saved. The first question you ask, of course, is would this decision be made if it was not about a month or so out from an election, which is an election the Government who just bought the steel mill is in serious danger of losing? The precedent is also shocking. If you save one, surely you save them all? And if you don't, because you can't, the locals will, quite righty, ask why not? Also, the Government owning things in the long term has never really been a recipe for efficiency or success. As much heat as Labour got in the 1980's for selling the railways here, Helen Clark buying them back has hardly been one of life's great business decisions. In a small town though, at the pub or the dairy or the sports field, who cares? They've got jobs, the bills get paid, and the kids stay in the local school. They'll take it. Where the money came from doesn't really matter. As much as Shane Jones espouses the value of the regions, the region here still lost its mill. We still have the problem that is the price of power. It still hasn't been addressed as an issue, and we go into another winter with a mess of a system. In Australia the place is open, the jobs are saved and no one's leaving town. So, which approach is better? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stephanie Hendrixson shares observations from her visit to learn more about two different manufacturing institutes under the umbrella of Carnegie Mellon University. First, she visited the lab facilities at Mill 19, a refurbished steel mill site, used by the Manufacturing Futures Institute. The MFI aims to accelerate the digital transformation of manufacturing, through work that includes things like robotics, digital twins and generative design as well as AM. She also learned about the Next Manufacturing Center, CMU's additive-focused research institute seeking to solve increasingly specific 3D printing problems— including how to model and avoid spatter in laser powder bed fusion.   Find photos, related links and the transcript for this episode on AdditiveManufacturing.Media.   This episode is brought to you by Additive Manufacturing Media.

Who's Inspiring Impacts today? It's Dr. Ronald Fry! Ronald Fry, PhD, is one of the co-creators of the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) theory and method. Listen in as he chats with host Dr. Lindsey Godwin about his perspective on impactful storytelling and the true power of the Appreciative Inquiry approach. Ron highlights real life examples that illustrate the power of storytelling in breaking down barriers and helping us solve complex problems. From drastically improving safety for hundreds of employees in a steel mill to having more open conversations with family at the dinner table, it's easy to see the inspirational impact storytelling can play in both our professional and personal lives. We're certain Ron's insights will encourage you to think deeply about the questions you ask, how every question is really an intervention, and what it takes to ask meaningful and impactful questions. Dr. Ronald Fry is an author and professor of Organizational Behavior at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. As the co-creator of Appreciative Inquiry, Ron works with groups, organizations and institutions around the world to increase their cooperative capacity to engage the whole system in strategic thinking, planning and change. Episode Highlights: Ron's definition of Appreciative Inquiry. The scientific research and data behind the impacts of Appreciative Inquiry and storytelling. Why storytelling is a crucial part of Appreciative Inquiry. How storytelling is used to create meaningful and measurable change in organizations. The greatest lesson Ron has learned about leading change with Appreciative Inquiry. The transformational impact that Appreciative Inquiry has had on Ron's personal life. Advice for using Appreciative Inquiry in your organization or personal life: Try to be it before you do it. Watch your thoughts, language, and tendencies. It's a constant practice because we're human! Inspiring Quotes: “We know scientifically that when people connect to shared strengths, they immediately see new possibilities.” “Strangers could interview each other, find commonalities in their different stories, and you can see the bond or you could experience the connective energy of that. It relates to inquiry. You're listening to someone's story, they're listening to your story, and then together, you're inquiring… Are their commonalities in our different experiences? And lo and behold, there always are.” “The power of stories to connect people – no matter how familiar or different or strangers they are to each other – I just see that over and over. Start with stories, never start with what we call a list question (what do you think about…).” “Before you can authentically help others or urge others to look for the best and then work from there, I think you have to see it in yourself.” Resources Mentioned: AI Practitioner Journal article "Improving Safety in a Steel Mill" by Ron Fry https://aipractitioner.com/product/improving-safety-in-a-steel-mill/ How Stories Change the Brain https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_stories_change_brain  What is Appreciative Inquiry? Appreciative Inquiry, sometimes referred to as “the other AI”, is one of the best kept secrets behind meaningful and lasting change at organizations. The AI approach is strength-based, meaning it focuses on identifying and leveraging successes to solve problems, rather than focusing on trying to fix individual failures.

There are just three ways, I once heard someone say, to create real wealth:* You make stuff* You mine stuff* You grow stuffEverything else is just redistribution - pushing what is already there around. We can argue about whether offering a service is “making stuff”. I would say, generally, it is. I've always loved that as a maxim by which to view things. Pretty much all wealth creation comes under one of those three categories. You are bringing something new into the world that did not previously exist. It's why I have issues with forex. The foreign exchange markets are the largest and most liquid financial markets in the world. They are more than 25 times larger in daily turnover than all of the world's stock markets combined. Forex has made many people supremely rich. But is forex trading actually creating new wealth or is it another illusory consequence of fiat, and just pushing existing wealth around? It's a question for another time because it's item two on that list - mining - that I want to talk about today, that loathed and despised industry, responsible for so much pollution, waste, injury, fraud and death. Why mining is so importantWe need mines. We cannot do without them. They are essential to human progress. Mines provide the raw materials that are the foundations for modern living. We would not have the world we have around us today were it not for mining: the primary means by which natural resources - metals, minerals and fossil fuels - are extracted from the earth. Human beings have been mining since before the Bronze Age and we won't ever stop. These natural resources can be used to make wonderful things: buildings, bridges, planes, trains and cars, electronics, and, of course, energy. Mining, and all the risks you have to take to do it, is to bring new and real wealth into the world that did not previously exist. In the West we sit at our desks all day, in our clean, sanitised environments, and we forget that, for example, for the internet to exist, we need untold amounts of metal , be it steel, copper, silver or some rare earth metal neither you nor I know the name of. With our cosseted western existence, we have in many ways lost touch with the world around us: the land, the environment, the animals and plants we eat. We have forgotten just how the things around us came to be. There was a time when you would build up a relationship with an animal before you ate it. I'm looking around me at my office and every single item - from my desk to my computer to my books to the house I'm in - would not exist without mining.If Net Zero is to be realised (spoiler alert: it won't be), and we are going to transition from fossil fuel to electricity, we are going to need to mine unprecedented amounts of copper and lithium (which in itself is going to entail extraordinary amounts of fossil fuel consumption). But mining has a huge environmental impact. Though it's hard to find a human activity that doesn't have an environmental impact, mining is exceptional. Together with certain types of fishing, it's probably the most environmentally damaging of all industries. That's why there are so many rules and regulations in place. They're there to attempt to minimise damage. Mining will never have zero impact. There is a trade-off between the impact of the mine, the wealth it creates and the benefits it brings. But it is because of the potential mining has to cause harm, to the environment, to local communities, to workers, that so many of us feel ambivalent about it, if not downright opposed. The fellowship of miningThere are common characteristics to miners, visible throughout history and in all the myth and legend that surrounds them: brave, strong, hard working, fiercely proud, stoic, with incredible camaraderie amongst them - probably because of the incredible risks and effort involved in doing their job.From Snow White to Middle Earth, you see it in the depiction of dwarves, the miners of mythology. Visit any of the old mining pubs in Cornwall, Wales or the North East, where the mines are no more, but look at the pictures on the wall, let your senses go and you can feel it there too. The old boys who used to work in the now closed mines still talk about the camaraderie.Mining is hard. It always was and it always will be, even with modern machines. Never mind the financial and political risk, it's dangerous. It's a difficult business. You have to go to some of the most unsavoury parts of the planet. Yet for decades we have been attacking mining. We attack this key industry, which instead we should support.Protestors become heroes when they stand against this terrible industry. Lawmakers do not stand up to protestors, they bow to them.The cost of regulation in the UK is so high, the mining industry barely here exists now. We have lots of coal, we have tin, we have copper, we even have tungsten and lithium, but producing mines are few and far between. We were once a nation once internationally famous for its mines and its miners. It's why so many metals exchanges are here. It's why so many international mining companies are based here.We are using more metal than ever here in the UK, yet we are barely producing any of it. We are getting that metal from Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas. Just because that mining is out of sight, it isn't any less damaging to the environment. Heaven forbid the war in Ukraine, or tensions between China and the West, or Islam and Christianity, could grew into some kind of global conflict. If it does, we have big strategic problems - because we barely produce any metal."The Battle of Production is the Battle of Life and Death,” said Winston Churchill to the House of Commons in September, 1940. “It is being fought out every day in every mine, factory, and farm in the country. It is the Battle of the Coal Mines. It is the Battle of the Steel Mills. It is the Battle of the Harvest Field. It is the Battle of the Factories and Workshops. It is the Battle of the Shipping Lanes. It is the Battle of the Aircraft Factories. It is the Battle of the Munitions Works. And on the outcome of this Battle depends the life and death of the nation."So it was with great concern that I read this article from Chris Hinde about mining graduates.The state of mining in the UKCornwall's Camborne School of Mines, founded in 1888, once used to be the most important mining college in the world. Through the 20th century, its graduates operated many of the world's most significant mines - in Southern and Western Africa, Malaysia, Australia, South America, Mexico, the United States and Canada. It is now merged with Exeter University.Do you know how many British people over the past two years have enrolled in mining engineering or mineral processing undergraduate courses there or indeed anywhere in the UK? Take a guess.The answer is not one. Not a single person. As recently as 1990, there were over 300 mining graduates every year from five UK mining schools. Now there are none.The UK's Engineering Council has 1,237 registered mining and mineral processing engineers. 80% of them are over the age of 50. Half of that 80% are over the age of 66 - retired or about to be, in other words.We used to export mining talent all over the world, but just to operate the few mines we have left here in the UK, never mind build new ones, the UK Mining Education Forum calculates the country needs over 60 new mining engineering and minerals processing graduates every year. We have none.Everybody wants to work in finance or tech. With years of greenwashing, we have forgotten the essential contribution which mining makes to society. We have lost touch. The green narrative has done so much structural damage to our history, our identity and our industry.Who is going to run Cornwall's tin and tungsten mines, or extract its lithium? Who will operate Cumbria's new coal mines (should they ever get planning approval)? If we don't act fast, we will lose the self-knowledge of our own landscapes to be able to utilise their many and varied natural resources. This is not just a UK problem, by the way, it is the case across Western Europe.One lesson of the soaring cost of energy is that the mineral resource industries need investment and support, not attacking. Why would you invest in future production, if you know the government is just going to impose windfall taxes? The War in Ukraine, and especially the bind in which Germany finds itself, has demonstrated the strategic stupidity of being dependent on dodgy regimes for essential resources, when there is abundant domestic natural supply. The ridiculous irony is that to import resources from unscrupulous corners of the earth is considerably less green than producing them ourselves.A rather big country somewhere to the far east of us gets the concept of making stuff, mining stuff and growing stuff in a way that we no longer seem to.

For the world to reach a state of net-zero emissions, it is going to require more than the ongoing transition to renewable energy sources.  There will also need to be efforts to capture the emissions from sources that can't easily eliminate their pollution.  These include steel mills, cement plants, and other industrial sites.  At least […]

Ron grew up a baseball obsessed boy in Gary Indiana. After high school he set off to make a career for himself as an Iron Worker in the Steel Mills. On a whim he made his way to a local baseball field for an MLB tryout. He made such an impression (a literal impression - you'll have to listen to hear how) that the Dodgers signed him shortly after the tryout. This is where the story gets started. Ron talks about the time he broke his neck and was temporarily paralyzed, which forced him out of baseball. He talks of the once in a million meeting that led to his comeback. This all happened before he hit 35 home runs and won ROY in 1983. He even shares the story of his clubhouse dust up with Rickey Henderson.

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with a roundup of international economic consequences from the pandemic.First, American mortgage applications don't seem to be falling away any faster in the latest data for last week. But they are -31% lower than the same week a year ago.And staying in the US, severe disruptions of supply chains is crimping meat supplies, and prices are rising fast.In Japan, Toyota said it was halving car production in May. This is another signal that the economic effects of the virus are continuing to bite hard worldwide.In Hong Kong, the Beijing-inspired arrests of democracy activists has brought forward plans for a major protest despite social distancing rules. Anger is near exploding point there.China's steel mills are making more product than they can sell. And yet iron ore prices are rising again. It is a situation that will break one way or the other soon.The latest survey of EU consumer sentiment came in lower than expected and very much lower than for March, taking them to 2009 levels.And ECB boss Christine Lagarde dispelled notions of them buying bonds directly from EU member country governments, or doing some sort of helicopter money drop. The will stay only as an actor in secondary markets.Turkey has chopped its official interest rates again - the eighth time in a row and down -1.00% to 8.75% - as their economy tanks. This rate was 24% at the start of 2019.Worldwide, the latest compilation of Covid-19 data is here. The global tally is now 2,611,200 and up +135,000 from this time yesterday which is a faster rate of rise from yesterday. 32% of all cases globally are in the US, which is an unchanged level, and they are up +48,300 since this time yesterday to 834,900. This is a much faster rate of increase. Just over 9% of all US cases have recovered so far, which is no improvement. Infection rates in Russia are rising very quickly and they will be the next country to have more cases than China, followed by Turkey. Australia still has 6500 cases and little-changed over the past week; their recovery rate to 63% and also unchanged in more than a week.Global deaths are now at 181,200, up +50% in a week, with very variable reporting across jurisdictions. I don't wish to add to fears, but it was the second wave that killed more people than the first in the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. It is lesson about why our borders should stay shut until the rest of the world has credible control on Covid-19.There are now 1451 Covid-19 cases identified in New Zealand, with another +6 new cases yesterday and more than the prior day's +5 increase. Fourteen people have died here, one more, all geriatric patients. There are now 11 people in hospital with the disease, with two in ICU. Our recovery rate is now up over 71% and rising.In Australia, there is increasing talk of the Federal government bailing out struggling companies by buying equity shares - in effect, nationalising them. Virgin Airlines might be one of the first. Then again, it might not. The question of whether Australia can afford two airlines is currently front and center there.In New York, the S&P500 is up +2.5% in afternoon trade there. Overnight, EU markets rose as well, although by not as much. Yesterday, Asian markets were flat, as was Australia. The NZX50 Capital Index fell more than -1%.The UST 10yr yield has recovered +6 bps to just on 0.63% and pulling back from its spike lower yesterday. Gold is much higher today, up +US$37 to US$1,715/oz.Oil prices have risen today but are still very low, especially US crude prices. They are currently at just US$14/bbl and that is up +US$5 since this time yesterday. That is still in the extreme pain zone for producers however. US crude oil stocks came in higher than expected (+9%) but much lower than this time last week (-22%). International oil prices are rising too, with the Brent benchmark up +US$2 to US$20/bbl. Just one week ago, this price was US$28/bbl and considered unusually low.The Kiwi dollar will start today weaker again. We are now at 59.3 USc and another -¼c lower than this time yesterday. On the cross rates we are -¾c lower at 94.1 AUc. Against the euro we are little-changed at just under 55 euro cents. That means the TWI-5 has slipped back to 65.8 and now well below its rolling four week average.Bitcoin is higher today, moving up +3.2% since this time yesterday to US$7,104.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.Get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Tell your friends and email us a review - we welcome feedback.

Our health is jeopardized when we eat junk; processed foods that do not supply valuable minerals and nutrients that maintain optimal health. Clean, nutritious food is mandatory if we are going to enjoy a healthy body combined with a quick and sturdy mind; plus the added benefit of extended good health in our golden years. The more a food is processed, the more justification for higher costs while food's nutritional quotient continues to fall. Join us this Sunday on Blog Talk Radio as we discuss organic farming and nutrition. Our guest, Shelly Caref, immigrated to the U.S. in 1949; immediately going to work in Steel Mills, factories and finally to the Army and training.  Shelly attended Purdue University and completed his Bachelor's in Electronic Engineering. Caref has finally actively, retired to a beautiful farm located in Ecuador with his wife where he continues to educate others about the importance of clean, organic farming.  "Food is life, and should not be separate from society and nature" --Shelly Caref Shelly's Farm and Education center     Sound Health Options   

What if you can’t duplicate your production stack for testing and so on? For instance, factory software? I’m starting to think this whole podcast is, ultimately, about design. In This Episode: Steel mills Stackless programming (and we ain’t talkin' 'bout push/pop). What if you can’t run your software except in production? You can test but you can’t run. Your interfaces can never be too thin. Adapters outside the walled garden of perfection. The immutable log of perfection. What’s the difference between data streaming in from hardware, or replayed log data? The wall as observation post. You gotta go batch. The golden nugget and the matrix. Everybody gets a copy! How to engineer bugs for performance review goodness. “This whole things screams, ‘Messaging! Messaging!’” “This Facebook thing is confusing me a bit.” How many gamma bursts per angstrom? Human vs machine interface and the idea of a command protocol expressing user intention. Beep boop. Human type-able protocol, the ultimate human/machine interface. (Well, outside of brain implants. Maybe.) The Hardware shouldn’t know about the System, the System shouldn’t know about the Hardware. (Or Facebook.) If software devs and hardware devs agree on a simple protocol they can fake the rest. Any time you can remove dependencies from the system, it’s good. Hardware interfaces are one thing, but why not do the same thing with remote software interfaces? (Say, Facebook!) Facebook is hard. Ware. The footzy-boo camera, not that old whatever-whatever camera. System integration should be about intentions, not implementation details. Distributed adapters mean incremental upgrade. No down time! Erlang pretty much got all this right long ago. Everyone needs to learn to walk, even though “walking” has been solved. That’s right. Steel mills to data warehouses. We don’t build one-off lamps, we build lamps that morph and evolve. It’s about the data that flows, not the nodes it flows through. Does it come down to separation of expertise as well as concerns? “I thought we were experts on everything.” Download MP3
