1952,1953,1954,1955 Red Man TOBACCORed Man Tobacco issued baseball cards in 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955, making them the only tobacco company to do so since 1920. The cards are very attractive with a large, painted portrait and a short player's bio on the front. On the back is company advertising. 1/2" tabs at the bottom of each card could be exchanged for a prize. The exchange rate was 50 tabs for one free Big League style baseball cap. Thus, cards with the tabs still intact are much, much, harder to find making them more valuable.Without the tabs it is difficult to determine which year certain players were issued. It is usually easiest to determine the year by looking at the expiration date on the back. Subtract 1 from the expiration year to determine the year of the card. Each set is made up of 25 players from each league all personally selected by Editor J.G. Taylor Spink of the "Sporting News". Managers from each league were included in the 1952 and 1953 sets. The 1954 set had four different variations. If you ignore the many variations of the expiration dates, that brings the total to only 208 cards to complete your Master Red Man Tobacco Baseball Card Set !!! Start collecting now !

1962 Topps Baseball BucksAnother Hit Topps Test Issue from the 1960's !!!The 1962 Topps Bucks were one of Topps most creative Test Issues. Each "Buck" resembled U.S. currency and measured 1 3/4" x 4 1/8" but instead of George Washington staring at you, it could be Mickey Mantle !!! A drawing of the player's home park along with a brief write-up also appeared on the front. The backs included team and league logos. The 1962 Topps Bucks test issue was sold in it's own 1 cent wax packs and was not an insert in 1962 Topps wax packs. Most examples exist with a fold line but it should not be overly noticeable. Player selection was great as the set is packed with numerous Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron and more !!!

The Detroit Autorama
Written by Tim Bernsau on May 15, 2006 The Greatest Rods and Customs Hit the Motor City -- Includes Expanded Web Only CoverageThere is a statue of the great boxer Joe Louis in the lobby of Cobo Hall in downtown Detroit. The larger-than-life heavyweight champ stands by the main doors like he's trying to tell everybody, "Get ready to be knocked out."
There's stuff going on all year long at Cobo Hall, but to hot rodders, the place is associated with the Detroit Autorama, which rolls in every February, filling acre after indoor acre with knockout iron. It's like a 1,000-ring automotive circus, with the world's best-looking race cars, concept cars, show cars, popular TV show cars, street rods, hot rods, customs, and more '32 Fords than you can believe, all competing for attention and awards. Add every heavyweight car builder in the country, a crowd of big-name pinstripers and painters, an annoying assortment of media guys, and an elbow-to-elbow sea of spectators, and you've got the Detroit Autorama.
For the second year in a row, Championship Auto Shows and the Michigan Hot Rod Association opened up Cobo's downstairs exhibit hall for Autorama Extreme, reserved specifically for traditionally-styled hot rods and customs, with another area for tuner imports. Don't write off these (mostly) homebuilt hot rods as rat rods. We didn't spot a rat in the house, and many of these rods were so amazingly built that, with some bigger wheels, shinier paint and maybe a few floor mirrors, they could've held their own up on the main floor. We know one multiple Ridler winner (does the name Foose ring a bell?), who had cars on display upstairs and downstairs. Guess which one made a bigger splash?
All the money raised went to the Rainbow Connection, a Michigan charitable organization that grants wishes for children throughout the state of Michigan who have life-threatening and terminal illnesses.
In addition to the artists who contributed time and talent, the following companies provided support to the Pinstripers' Jamboree: Mack Brush, 1 Shot Sign Paint, Stamp H Factory, Rhino Paint, EC Mich Illinois, Sign Craft magazine, Crain Communications, Painters Supply, General Motors R* Works, TJ Ronan Sign Paint, House of Kolor, Graphic Things by Hancox, Trumm Photo & Imaging, Signs of the Times, X-Caliber, Auto Graphics, Auto Art magazine, Championship Auto Shows, Street Rodder magazine, and Custom Rodder magazine.

LOOKING BACK: Busch led three times for a race-high 102 laps, but his victory hopes were eliminated with 75 laps to go when he was involved in a multi-car accident. Busch ended up 31st to lose five spots in the standings and fall out of the top 10.
ETC.: Busch hopes his test run in an open-wheel car at Indy in May will boost his chances of a good showing in the 400 on Sunday. "I had a great experience at Indy back in May testing an Andretti Autosport Indy car," said Busch. "It's an awesome feeling to race at this historic track and a victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway is what drivers want on their resume."
1 JAMIE MCMURRAY, Chevrolet
Team: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 15th, 16 points out of the top 10.
INDY RECORD: Won the 2010 race. Has five top-seven finishes in 10 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: McMurray is "ready to get to Indy this week. Our team is very focused right now and we are ready to get back to action this weekend in Indianapolis. We have worked hard to put ourselves in a good position over the last few weeks with some solid finishes. Indianapolis is one of the places that is special to win with all the history and tradition at the speedway. I feel that our cars are getting better every week and the Brickyard would be a great place to get on a roll as we head closer to the Chase."
LOOKING BACK: McMurray finished 12th at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to move up two spots in the standings and close to within 16 points of the top 10.
ETC.: McMurray feels he could be in the top 10 in the point standings if his luck hadn't been so bad in the first half of the season. "Our year has been really good, we've just not be able to finish where we've been running," said McMurray, noting a blown tire at Michigan, a punctured radiator at Dover, a broken radiator at Charlotte and being in the wrong place at the wrong time at Daytona. "Speed-wise we've been good all year."
43 ARIC ALMIROLA, Ford
Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 16th, 21 points out of the top 10.
INDY RECORD: Finished 19th last year in his first Cup start.
LOOKING AHEAD: Almirola said, "Indy is awesome. It is unreal to drive down that front straightaway with grandstands on both sides. It's like you are driving through a tunnel at 200 miles per hour. It's an amazing feeling. I remember when they started racing the Brickyard 400, watching it, and thinking what it would be like to race at that track with all its history and nostalgia. Now, to have that opportunity, is really special."
LOOKING BACK: Excellent pit strategy allowed Almirola to finish fifth at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to gain three spots in the standings and get back in the thick of the battle for the Chase.
ETC.: Crew chief Todd Parrott is the one that started the NASCAR tradition of kissing the bricks when he was the crew chief for Dale Jarrett. Following Jarrett's win in 1996, Parrott suggested that to celebrate the win "we need to kick the bricks at the Brickyard." The Jarrett-Parrott combo won the race a second time in 1999.
31 JEFF BURTON, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 17th, 25 points out of the top 10.
INDY RECORD: Five top-10 finishes in 19 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Burton believes "it's definitely not easy" getting around Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "You have to be aggressive and push yourself," adds Burton. "The corners look the same, but they drive completely different. Turns one and three are at the end of those long straightaways and you would think they are the same, but they aren't. Turn three has way more grip then turn one, while turn two has the least amount of grip. Then you get to turn four and realize it has the most grip. Most people don't know this, but all of the corners also have different banking which makes it unique. It's a really interesting race track."
LOOKING BACK: Burton led four times for 14 races and finished a season-high third at Loudon to jump four spots in the standings and boost his chances of making the Chase.
ETC.: Burton is convinced the decision by Indianapolis Motor Speedway to bring NASCAR to the famed facility "was a game changer for NASCAR. In the 1990's, NASCAR took over as the leader in motorsports. Going to Indianapolis put us in a different category and we've gone there and put on good races and filled the stands every time. I think it was good for Indy, too. Bringing stock cars there was a historic occasion and it ruffled a few feathers, but at the end of the day, it was good for the race track and for the area. Overall, it has had a positive impact on the sport."

Allen Dodson was the 2008-2009 ASBMB science policy fellow. He received a B.S. in molecular, cellular and developmental biology from Yale University in 2002, doing his senior thesis with Sidney Altman. He completed his doctoral dissertation research in 2008 in the laboratory of Donald Coen at Harvard Medical School's department of biological chemistry and molecular biology.
As a ninth-grade biology student, I learned that scientists were trying to harness viruses to deliver corrected genes to the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. The ingenuity of this approach captured my imagination. Genetics had identified the cause of the disease, but human hands had not yet devised the tools to correct the flaw in a living, breathing patient. In contrast, cold viruses had evolved over the course of centuries to deliver genes to human lung cells. The potential of biology to solve this intractable problem was appealing on an intellectual level.
When I first read through the course catalog at Yale University, two listings stood out. One offering, a graduate-level elective titled "Molecular Genetics of Prokaryotes," started with the most fundamental levels of gene expression and then built the skills and knowledge needed to understand and design such clever approaches to problems. The other, a two-semester course on constitutional law, offered an equally fundamental view of the law that shapes our society — the context in which our problem-solving efforts take place.
As an undergraduate, I did not have to choose; I could take a break from my senior thesis research in molecular, cellular and developmental biology to participate in debates on the floor of the Yale Political Union. I ultimately decided to pursue graduate school, reasoning that a specialized knowledge of biology would serve me well regardless of where I went afterward.
Shortly after I started at Harvard University, I joined a graduate student group called Science in the News, whose mission was to bring a greater understanding of science to the public. Through SITN, I presented seminars on topics like therapeutic cloning, avian influenza and the cervical cancer vaccine. I enjoyed learning about different topics in science and explaining them to nontechnical audiences.
During my second year of grad school, I began my dissertation research on antiviral drug screening against the herpes simplex virus. The work appealed to me because it drew on some of the same types of ingenuity that prompted researchers to use viruses for gene therapy. At the same time, I found that I enjoyed learning about, evaluating and communicating science more than I enjoyed performing it at the bench.
As I neared graduation, my adviser pointed me toward the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's science policy fellowship. I applied, was accepted and started in ASBMB's public affairs office in the fall of 2008. During my first week on the job, we traveled to the Rayburn House Office Building to see National Institutes of Health Director Elias Zerhouni testifying to the House on NIH's progress. On our way out, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice passed us in the halls on her way to a hearing on Russia. It was a pretty dramatic change from the daily routine of research.

Cumulatively speaking, I think this thread has everything you need to reverse engineer this pizza. I think the only real wrench in the works is consistently re-creating the microblisters. There's lots of theories as to how those are created, but, so far, nobody can come up with a method to re-create them every time.I seem to be seeing them a lot lately (with overnight ferments), but really can't recreate them on command.

Indians looking to rebound in rematch with Braves
Masterson takes on Maholm as Cleveland continues its tough slate
The Indians still have a little more than a month to catch the first-place Tigers in the American League Central standings. The next week and a half could go a long way, though, in determining if they have a chance.
Including Tuesday night's 2-0 loss to the Braves at Turner Field, Cleveland is in the midst of a nine-game stretch against Atlanta, Detroit and Baltimore -- two division leaders and the other (the Orioles) contending for the same Wild Card spots the Indians are pursuing.
So just how crucial will the string of games against tough opponents be for Cleveland?
"Honestly? I think it's very important," Tribe outfielder Michael Bourn said. "It'll tell what kind of team we have. We're playing some tough teams. We're playing some teams that are fighting for the playoffs. It's a test. You always go through that test throughout a year. ... You have to face those teams, take them on and try to beat them. None of these teams are going to be easy."
The Indians saw just how difficult it will be in the opener of a three-game set against the Braves, who hold a comfortable 13-game lead in the National League East. The Indians trail the Tigers by 5 1/2 games in the division and are three behind the A's for the second Wild Card spot.
In Cleveland's way on Wednesday night will be Atlanta left-hander Paul Maholm, who will oppose Justin Masterson.
Maholm seeks his sixth win this season at Turner Field, where he owns a 1.93 ERA as opposed to his 6.08 ERA on the road. It will be his second start since coming off a month-long stint on the disabled list with a bruised throwing hand. He surrendered just one run through four innings against the Cardinals last Thursday, but a walk to Pete Kozma sparked a three-run fifth for St. Louis.
"I can't go out there and blow a 95-mph fastball by somebody," Maholm said after his most recent start. "But if my mechanics are good and I'm able to mix four pitches in and out, I'm going to take my chances."
Indians: Masterson seeks 15th win
At the very least, Masterson has given the Indians a chance when he steps on the mound. The 28-year-old right-hander has gone at least 6 2/3 innings in seven of his last eight starts, going 4-2 with a 2.85 ERA in those outings.
"He expects it out of himself," manager Terry Francona said. "I think he knows we expect it, and I think he enjoys answering."
Masterson will take the mound six days after earning his team-leading 14th win -- allowing just one run on five hits and five walks in 6 2/3 innings against the Angels. He also struck out seven.
• Ryan Raburn said a stint on the disabled list is possible due to right calf and left heel soreness, but his participation in drills and batting practice before Tuesday's game left Francona optimistic the Indians utility man could avoid having to do so.
"He did well today," Francona said of Raburn, who was out of the lineup for the 14th time in the last 17 games. "I'm thinking that he's probably available. We wanted it -- when we got him available -- we wanted to make sure that we could hit him and leave him in to play or run. I think we're there, but we'll watch him."
Braves: Uggla likely to return Wednesday
After homering in his second rehab start on Tuesday, second baseman Dan Uggla will likely rejoin the Braves on Wednesday when he's eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list after recovering from LASIK surgery.
Uggla, who went 2-for-4 for Triple-A Gwinnett, began his rehab stint going hitless in his first five at-bats before hitting the home run and a single on Tuesday.
"Tomorrow's when he's eligible to come off, so we'll see how he feels like he needs another game or if he doesn't," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "It's probably about [95 percent] that he'll be here tomorrow."
• Jason Heyward was back with his teammates on Tuesday for the first time since sustaining a fractured jaw when he was hit by a fastball from Mets left-hander Jon Niese last Wednesday. Happy to be in the clubhouse again, Heyward said he hopes to be ready for the playoffs but admitted the uncertainty of his situation.
"I don't have a timetable for you," Heyward said. "I don't know if it's going to be sooner. I don't know if it's going to be later. I don't know how long it's going to take to heal. But I know as soon as possible, I'd like to be playing baseball."
Worth noting
• The Indians are 9-6 Interleague Play this season, going just 3-5 on the road.
• Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera extended his hitting streak to eight games with a 3-for-4 performance on Tuesday.
• Along having the best record in baseball at 79-52, the Braves lead the Majors with a 45-18 mark at home.

The RS3-A™ is the latest Ultra High Performance all-season tire within the Cooper performance family. This all-season performance tire provides the driver with a dynamic handling and inspires confidence and control.
Advanced Technology Mold Profile. Provides for a square tread footprint which means more tread-to-road contact. Asymmetric Design. Allows for tread pattern tuning. This design allows for cross-rotation which reduces heal-toe wear, promotes even wear, less noise and increased overall read life. More rubber on the outboard tread pattern equals exceptional dry handling and traction. The large outside shoulder and intermediate tread elements increase handling, stability control and ultimate cornering ability. The offset shoulder-to-intermediate grooves and large intermediate tread elements are joined together for stable cornering and noise reduction. Laterally oriented shoulder grooves, uniform element geometry and chamfered edges resist irregular or rapid tread wear. The continuous, solid rib on the outside of the center row of tread elements increases steering response. The inboard tread pattern is optimized for wet and light snow conditions. Two, wide circumferential grooves channel water away from the tire for hydroplane resistance. Even wear is achieved by the laterally oriented shoulder grooves and uniform elements. Winter traction performance is aided by the technical sweeping elliptical groove. 3-D Micro-Gauge Siping. Increases tread element stability, improves handling and tire control while reducing the possibility of stone retention. 3-D dimple sipes with interlocking geometry provide more sipe depth without sacrificing tread element stability. The 3-D dimple sipes are used in the center, intermediate and shoulder elements and provide increased length and more road biting edges as the pattern wears for maximum wet and light snow traction. Silica Formulated Tread Compound. Designed for exceptional all-season driving performance.

Purchased a set of these because my snow tires got busted by a pot hole. They handle just fine in the snow. Way better than my Yokohama Avid Envigors, but not as good as my Toyo Snowprox. These aren't true winter tires, but they handle way better compared to some of the crappy performance A/S tires by Sumitomo, Yokohama, or Hankook Ventus. I was able to drive through 3" of snow in a parking lot without spinning the tires like I did with the Yokos. Cannot give a rating for treadwear since these are brand new, but the rubber is soft so I don't expect to see more than 20-30k miles out of them. Not bad considering its an A/S UHP tire. Only issue that bugs me is that these tires are MADE IN CHINA. Hopefully Cooper has high quality standards. Road noise is present but its expected when talking about these "lower end" tires. If you want something quiet you buy tires from a premium maker.

Great all a round tire. Very quiet compared to othe low profile tires i have had on my Mazda 6. Firts time I have put a non directional tread tire. Only drawback is the handling. The Zeon tires feel a bit "squishy" or soft, but they are still a GREAT tire and I would definitely recommend these tires.

Perl 6
SMOP OO API: Revision 58
In order to ensure the interoperability among object representations and even between different object systems that uses the same representation. In this context we need to define the HOW and REPR API, this is the SMOP OO API that allows representations to be interchanged, and custom BUILD methods to be written. The interesting aspect is that all this methods must be called in the object itself in SMOP, and that's why they have the "^" and "^!" prefixes, where the first mean a HOW call, and the second means a REPR call. It is important to stress that the REPR API is SMOP specific, whereas the HOW API is supposed to be transversal to Perl 6 implementations. Object APIThis is what is implemented by Object method new($prototype: *@protoobjects, *%initialize --> Object) {...} method bless($prototype: $candidate?, *@protoobjects, *%initialize --> Object) {...} method clone($object: --> Object ) {...} method can($object: $name, $capture? --> List of Method) {...} method does($object: $prototype --> bool) {...} method isa($object: $prototype --> bool) {...} method defined($object: --> bool ) {...} method CREATE($prototype: :$repr --> Object) {...} method BUILDALL($object: *@protoobjects, *%initialize) {...} method DESTROYALL($object: ) {...} submethod BUILD($object: *@protoobjects, *%initialize) {...} submethod DESTROY($object: ) {...} Attribute APImethod name( --> Str ) {...} method private_name( --> Str) {...} method create_container( --> Object) {...} Method APImethod name( --> Str ) {...} method call($method: $capture --> Object) HOW APIThis is the instrospection API, that is available as standard Perl 6 and relate to the Object considering all the inheritance and composition. This represent all object capabilities, including the inherited ones, not only the ones implemented by this specific instance (as opposed to the REPR API). The HOW calls are made using the HOW object as the invocant and the object as a prepended positional argument. The name in that calls won't keep the "^" prefix. This means that HOW is just a class that must follow this API. method ^CREATE($prototype: :$repr --> Object ) {...} method ^bless($prototype: $candidate?, *@protoobjects, *%initialize --> Object) {...} method ^BUILDALL($object: *@protoobjects, *%initialize) {...} method ^DESTROYALL($object: ) {...} method ^clone($object: --> Object ) {...} method ^defined($object: --> bool ) {...} method ^methods($object: --> List of Method ) {...} method ^attributes($object: --> List of Attribute ) {...} method ^isa($object: $superclass --> bool ) {...} method ^does($object: $otherclass --> bool ) {...} method ^can($object: $identifier, $capture? --> List of Method) {...} method ^dispatch($object: $identifier, $capture --> Any) {...} REPR APIThe representation API defines how the runtime can ask different representations. This API is the real enabler on having different representations, even for the same classes. Unlike the HOW API, this only applies to this specific object. The responder interface is supposed to intercept that calls and never call them using standard MRO. None of the information returned by the methods of the REPR API reflects inherited behaviours, it reflects only the definitions made in that object. Basic initialization and destruction API.method ^!CREATE($prototype: --> Object ) {...} method ^!DESTROY($object: ) {...} method ^!clone($object: --> Object ) {...} method ^!bless($object: $prototype) {...} # sets $prototype as the only isa for this object, replacing all definitions method ^!how($object: $prototype? --> Object ) {...} # sets the object/responder interface that deal with all HOW calls. method ^!initialize_instance_storage($object: $package) {...} method ^!initialize_instance_storage_slot($object: $package, $name, $container) {...} method ^!destroy_instance_storage($object: $package) {...} method ^!destroy_instance_storage_slot($object: $package, $name) {...} Defined/UndefinedThe default "defined" implemented by Object, delegates the call to the representation. By default, an object is defined if there is any instance storage initialized. Which basically means that an object is undefined after CREATE and will become defined after BUILDALL. method ^!defined($object: --> bool ) {...} Skipping lookup on instancesThe instance method defines if this object is a direct instance of some class. This means that it might have only a single isa, no role and it must not have any other definition. If this value is true, then no lookup is made directly in this object, which means the return for WHAT will be the isa of this object. On the other hand, if this returns false, this is a prototype. In order to avoid defining Undef, you can only add instance storage to "instance" values. You can't have a "defined" class. The HOW for instances is the HOW of the isa, non-instance values must define their own HOW which usually is copied when you do Object.clone() to create a new instance. method ^!instance($object: --> bool ) {...} RW introspection APITrying to access the private storage of a class (which returns false to "instance") will result in a failure. Trying to add definitions to a defined object will result in a failure. method ^!whence($object: --> Routine ) is rw {...} method ^!isa($object: --> Array of Class ) {...} method ^!role($object: --> Array of Role ) {...} method ^!private_storage($object: $package --> Hash ) {...} method ^!class_storage($prototype: --> Hash ) {...} method ^!methods($prototype: --> Array of Method ) {...} method ^!submethods($prototype: --> Array of Method ) {...} method ^!attributes($prototype: --> Array of Attribute ) {...} method ^!package($object: --> Package ) is rw {...} method ^!properties($object: --> Hash ) {...} # these are the helper methods method ^!can($prototype: $name, $capture? --> List of Method ) {...} method ^!can_submethod($prototype: $name, $capture? --> List of Method ) {...} method ^!has($prototype: $name --> Attribute ) {...} |

As the title of this article says: Big forces are reshapping the world of manufacturing. After read this article i think the most big force is high-technology. Yes, it's true. the high-technology is not only reshaping the world of manufacturing, but also changing the employment system and human's life. One more thing that i want to say is that the realy high-technology is only charged by the rich and developed countries, therefore, their manufacturing have changed a lot. Its pecentage in the whole country's decreased. However, it is on the contrast in the developing countries, because they do not have the high-technology, they only have the cheap labour forces and a lot of raw materials, which provide advantages for them to develop manufactures. As a result the account of manufacturing percentages in those developing countries are increased. However, the high-technology also have bring some disadvantages for the rich countries, such as due to the advanced technology there are not need so many workers any more in their factories which lead to the rise up of unemployment rate.So it is hard to grasp the sense of propriety.
Anyhow, as a member of developing countries, it is our task to develop our technology which need to inspire the creativity and innovetion of our nation's talents. Meanwhile we should grasp the opportunity to develop our service which is a more and more important careers.
There are some incredible innovations came out early this year, and of course the rockstar belongs to 3D printer-it changes the way people could use a printer for, and change the concept that people held for a printer. The new 3D printer allows people to print out three-dimensional pictures that looks incredibly amazing, and it had been put for commercial use such as print out the visual effect of a component that will be built. The relentless coming out of new technology and innovation help people to realize things that they have never dreamed of, and of course push the society moving forward. In the contemporary society, countries are facing with industrial transformation, high-tech robots for example, had been used in many factories or dangerous places that unsuited for human to work. Some people may say automation to some extent let some workers layoff, this is true but generally and fairly to say, technology improvement is in favor of our society moving forward.
As the demand falls for unskilled labor, what would under-skilled youth do with their idle time and excessive vigor? Social unrest, that politicians would conveniently re-direct for foreign aggression?
Manufacturing/Manufacture definition sure has been blurred! I know this company is a manufacture and they use the 3-D application to show customers details of their custom buildings.

The industrial revolution almost destroyed large part of the Earth. We want to live in a place where technologies, prosperity, freedom will not deal with the beauty of the planet as we received. For this reason, this new opportunity to build objects and produce stuff from the bottom, without a real factory, it is an amazing opportunity.
...less optimistically talking, the risk is that MAKERS should not perceive their own force and become a world wide spread and unstoppable JUNK FACTORY.
I bet the MAKER movement could embrace these new technologies while embracing the needed new culture.
Media in general and influent voices like THE ECONOMIST should know how relevant is to set a cultural framework on this third industrial revolution. Because 3D printers can make shapes out of plastic while what we should print is a whole new economic model that produce new jobs and make the world a better place to live.
I was involved in a maker event in Florence; a city where masterpieces made by artist and artisans lead the culture for centuries. Walking in Florence -on the very same stones that you can find in any apple store worldwide- you get that -today- could start a new renaissance.
I don't want that this opportunity will be remembered as the moment where everyone can built his own junk for 15 minutes.
I see a connection between the Internet of Things, the emerging startup environment and the MAKER movement. And the rules we should agree are not about economy while about the behaviour of any object we produce. http://www.slideshare.net/leeander/design-for-makers-florence-edition
We built in freedom now. So -more than ever- we got the responsibility.
It is a little bit funny to say such a technology is going to change the manufacturing industry as Apple is going to change our life (with a cell phone?).
Let there be life - What's remaining are the two fingers from Michaelangelo creation of Adam.
'Let there be life''are the two of the most famous fingers in the art world. God stretches a hand towards the languid form of Adam, giving the man life as one of his last acts in creating the world.
Great article. Regarding "is manufacturing superior to services?" - I would point out that on average, each manufacturing job supports 2.5 jobs in other sectors, and at the upper end, each high-tech manufacturing job supports 16 others. So it's a great incentive for developed or developing countries to focus on strengthening manufacturing.
Regarding additive manufacturing as a whole - most manufacturing shops in developed countries are run by folks nearing retirement, and the lack of skilled/interested workers makes it hard for them to continue operations, let alone adapt new manufacturing technologies to keep up with the trends.
Here's a brief post on digital manufacturing and what manufacturers are doing wrong: http://proqur.com/digital-manufacturing/
Rather than comparing 3D printing with machining of metal parts, it would be more appropriately compared to casting of molten metal, which is sort of additive in nature. If that were the reference, perhaps the discussion would make more sense. I am afraid that 3D printing is such a stir is because those who think they know something about digital electronics think there is a special place for themselves in manufacturing.
As for MacKinzie Global and statistics therefrom, it is quite amazing that they exclude agricultural production from the discussion, or did I miss something. That is the main way we could keep the export-import trade in balance.
Compared to the excitement over next to nothing which is 3D printing, we might think about a major increase in our agro-industrial production which could make us a full trade partner rather than an debtor with an ever widening national debt due to a generally increasing trade deficit.
The greatest potential remedy for our under-productivity is the vast agricultural resource that exists as under-used land in much of our country. This land is under-used, mostly, because of a lack of a reliable water supply for irrigation. This is quite absurd since we have shown in a variety of smaller projects, small like the Hoover dam and Colorado River project, the Bonneville dam and its water control capacity, and the vast irrigation system in California based on the California Aquaduct, that such water distribution are well within our capabilities.
3D printing still has some ways to go to be mainstream.
It can make low strength parts relatively cheaply and quickly, but high strength functional parts in metal are not particularly cheap or fast.
When it comes to parts with very specific metallurgy right now they simply cannot perform the required task.
You also need to consider that post processing (such as machining)of 3D parts is usually required unless you are willing to settle for very wide tolerances.
I've no doubt 3D printing will become a significant fixture in manufacturing. I just want to be sure non engineers don't get caught up in the hype vs. current reality.
With respect to this point: "When it comes to parts with very specific metallurgy right now they simply cannot perform the required task"
I recall at least one line of additive manufacturing, powderized metallurgy, that was innovated in the late 1960s/early 1970s for engine parts for the F-15 fighter.
In this case, seems subcontractors or Pratt Whitney and/or GE created some very unique parts to handle extreme tolerances. As per your point about cheap or fast, I bet none of those concerns really mattered being a national security project.
Powder metallurgy has been around for a long time. You see it used extensively in high volume automotive parts as well as in the jet engine applications you noted.
In the jet engine applications I've looked at they are utilized mainly for their better strength, creep and fatigue resistance (not low cost :) ).
The thing to consider is even if you printed those parts they still need downstream processing(sintering, heat treatment etc) and machining if tight tolerances are required. My recollection is that you would struggle to get tighter than +/-0.002" which is far too wide for precision engineering.
You're quite right that to maximize the mechanical properties of printed metal products some post-processing is required. For instance, to achieve a tensile strength of 140,000 psi in a CoCrMo alloy using Arcam's 3D EBM printer, homogenisation is definitely required.
As for the cost and post-machining requirements, these are sure to be reduced in time. I would turn your attention to the MetalicaRap project whose goal is to produce a 3D EBM printer at one-hundredth the cost of an Arcam printer and have part tolerances of +/- 20 micrometers or .00078".
Thanks to Michael and Andrzej for an interesting discussion.
I'm really excited about the advances in this field and how they can be applied to some of the custom and semi custom parts we design each year.
Automation is a perfect Job killer ... for China and India of course.
Most of the factories in China are now producing more and more raw material than finished goods.
Same way more and more Software factories in India are doing unstructured data processing than actually writing new software.
You want to see some cool toys? Come to Brooklyn!
3D printers can make shapes out of plastic, and more expensive ones can make shapes out of metal, but more advanced processes like annealing cannot be performed by 3D printers.
I wouldn't consider annealing particularly advanced. Often times it just involves throwing the parts in an oven at a specified temperature.
I just had some copper parts annealed, and it cost all of $75 dollars.
But yes, there are currently plenty of limitations on 3d printing.
Hold up everyone, we have a problem.
"3D 'Wiki Weapon' guns could go into testing by end of year, maker claims"
Not a problem this side of the pond: we take cars off lunatics but we still allow them to carry guns :)
God bless America! ; )
Actually I do not really agree with the statement that "As countries get richer, manufacturing tends to account for a smaller share of their GDP".
As we know the GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product, it is not occupied all by manufacturing, so they do not have direct relations on the quantity aspect.
Some countries because they have the resource; some others have the cheap labor force. So if one country's getting richer, the manufacturing may not account for a smaller share fo their GDP.
However, it would be great that if I can have a robot at home and have my head in hand in the future.
The Rise of the Machines will continue in rich countries? Oh my, perhaps we need further research into bomb shelters.
One niche market that is rarely mentioned is that for replacement parts for existing machines, particularly older obsolete machines made with relatively primitive technology-- primitive technology that permits parts amenable to fabricators. A tiny market already exists for some sites such as emachines (which is basically conventional machine shop order over the internet). Much better would be spares from a desktop fabricator.
Finally, never observed in my wanderings, is the fabricator that can repair an existing machine by placing the existing machine in the fabricator (or by attaching the fabricator to the machine with the area to be repaired in the "active area" of the fabricator), and having the fabricator "fabricate" the fix in place. Wonderful for restoring a bashed door panel on a car for instance... restoring a rusted out exhaust pipe... mending a section of wall with a mouse hole chewed in it... the list is endless.
the comment "As countries get richer, manufacturing tends to account for a smaller share of their GDP.." would seem unjustified from a glance at the ranking on the right.
South Korea, Japan, Germany and Italy are rich, have been rich for a while, have a good tradition of solid manufacturing, some admitedly earlier than others, but still.
On the other hand, countries that have embarked too marrily in outsourcing and off-shoring their manufacturing base, experienced a much tougher time through the crisis. Either they have had to squeeze salaries to increase productivity, and/or they have had to devalue their currency.
Most importantly, one could look at quality of life. It undeniably grew well in the BRIC countries where manufacturing is fundamental (China and Brasil more so than India and Russia) , but it arguably held better also in the above 4 countries when compared to Britain or US.
It is only economists that insist on recognizing little importance to manufacturing.
The four you mentioned have all seen major decreases in manufacturing as a share of GDP:
It only rises when a country first industrializes and shifts away from agriculture.
Sure, looking at valuations of financial sector or construction sectors when they were all bright and prosperous.
They tend to crash in value much faster and much deeper than manufacturing though.
Take a look at the graph, the decline of manufacturing as a share of GDP has been steady throughout the entire industrialized world since 1970. It's not a cyclical phenomenon.
you are correct, but we should discount the fact that through time the number of service jobs directly connected to a manufacturing one have greatly increased. In other terms a considerable chuck of service is multiplied by manufactrpuring.
Great hope for India's manufacturing sector. It can double from the current 13% share of GDP to the predicted peak of 20 to 35%. China on the other hand may have entered its contraction phase?
Wouldn't be surprised if China is peaking. Unless something goes wrong badly though, China should have a large internal market to buttress its manufacturing sector. One that could facilitate moving up the value chain.
However, success should translate in more job creation in services sectors (and hence a positive change to GDP composition that lowers manufacturing's profile, from productivity, capital released for other endeavors, more wealth off people able to consume, etc.).
Even with success though comes higher wages, potentially higher energy costs and uplift in the value of currency that could impact exports.
With demographics, seems China's workforce is forecasted to begin contracting soon, although a large rural population and underclass should be available for some time.
The big X-factor is politics, whether from rising protectionism in target export markets, or just a general rise in rivalry with countries that raises the temperature, and leads to trade disruptions(embargoes/retaliation, or security regulations, or just shaken investor confidence, or offshoring by Chinese for political reasons).
Holy Cow! I went from being a high school shop teacher. You remember: everything from leather craft to pottery and lapidary to welding and machine shop and auto mechanics and lets not forget wood working. Then I went to law school. Now your telling me that I can be replaced with a light bulb and a dim one at that! Great.
Economics, according To Heilbroner and Milberg has morphed from being an observational science to being part of proactive planning.
Provisioning for ourselves seems to be the basic nut of it.
Somehow this cheats the early comers who did much work in favor of the late comers who get to drink lemonade in the shade after having arrived late at the orchard.
There is a lesson in the bible about the late comer vineyard workers. It points to the unfairness being a blockage to happiness. AS long as those who benefit Appreciate their windfall it seems they should be happy to wash and massage the feet of the workers who showed up early in the morning. Eventually leisure time has been created and what is done with that time becomes of supreme importance less the benefit of sacrifice be squandered.
Wouldn't it be nice if our economy could be arranged so that all these robots and new manufacturing techniques would allow us more time for family. friends, recreation and artistic expression?
(The author of this comment has a web log on economics at https://economics102.wordpress.com/)
Well that has been the impact so far:
For decades, average hours worked per worker has been falling almost as fast as GDP per worker has grown.
Implicit: if we hadn't opted for more leisure time, we'd be about 30% richer in material terms than we are today (but with a longer working week). But it seems like, as society becomes more prosperous, we value free time over material wealth.
In future, this trend will certainly continue (it'll take a 23% reduction in average hours for the Americans to match the Dutch - bring on autonomous trucks :D ).
What happens when, in future, the vast majority of jobs are either high-skilled or ultra-low skilled? Once the developing countries have caught up with the OECD nations and wages are more or less at parity, substituting people for machines will not be viable. So then... what of the billions who lack the aptitude or the drive to achieve the levels of education required to secure a high-skill job? McJobs and government departments can absorb only a small percentage of those lacking the requisite qualifications for something better. What will happen to the vast hordes of the unskilled and semi-skilled? This is the looming problem we'll need to confront in the second half of this century but no one seems to be talking about it at all.
Indeed, the velocity of the trend of producing ever more "things" with ever less man hours, which started 2 centuries ago, is increasing, and I suspect the consequences are already being felt and the full impact will be felt even earlier than you predict.
As a society we will fundamentally need to re-define the concepts of jobs, work, occupation, compensation, income,etc. Tinkering in the margins, and "creating" jobs in a particular geography is, in the international sense, a zero sum or even negative game.
Is high education really so unattainable? How long ago was it that the peasant massed couldn't read/ write?
Perhaps with new communication media, with access to the best learning materials, with the right incentives, with the right propaganda and with the right collaboration opportunities & potential for practice/ experience, the general level of skill/ expertise/ "education" will be higher in the future than it is today.
Note: that doesn't really need a higher level of general "intelligence". Just different life experiences, resources, tools, equipment, practice, training opportunities, learning opportunities, etc.
Worst case: with rising real incomes at the top, there'll be plenty of demand for tennis coaches, paintball instructors, elderly support workers, body guards, prostitutes, personal guided tours, dog walkers, street entertainers, skiing partners, human waiters & chefs, etc.
Even with automation rampantly wiping out the jobs of the less fortunate, and regardless of skill level, there will be abundant career opportunities for anyone with an open mind & a bit of effort. Maybe not good options - but there in abundance nonetheless.
If in doubt, just imagine back to farming mechanisation & displacement of the uneducated & ignorant peasants... Or the mass entry of women into the workforce, many uneducated and many without prior workplace skills... Or disarmament and release of many millions of troops (often less skilled, often without prior civilian work experience) onto labour markets...
The zero sum of labour fallacy is easy to get stuck in, but is so clearly & completely wrong in hindsight. Even with rapid automation, labour markets will continue to clear for the vast majority of workers. Over ten million workers will be displaced in the next 10 years alone - but the vast majority will find something else, and the world will be a richer place for it.
recently an innovative new robot went on the market and TE covered it well (Baxter, from Rethink Robotics). Baxter goes for $22,000, which is really a small amount considering it does not need pauses, restrooms, canteens, a family...it can work almost 24/7.
Baxter is not yet as dexterous and quick as a human operator, but it is easy to understand it will catch up soon. If, by absurd, millions of robots were able to provide better roi than operators, their only chance would be to work for less.
Eventually their income would only allow for some consumption, thus prices would also need to go down. Eventually factory automation works like globalization in increasing the efficiency of the market, both for inputs, processes and outputs. Quality of life...we may forget about :)
"What will happen to the vast hordes of the unskilled and semi-skilled?"
Wars have been the customary way of reducing surplus human populations. Plagues are another dandy equalizer, although not as predictable. Sub-Saharan Africa has strong potential for both at the same time.
There is a third way, however. Remember the Eloi and the Morlocks from H G Wells's classic time travel novel? It's a portrait of a world where the Gini coefficient has hit 1.
There is one problem associated with a higher education base required for employability and that is the extra years it takes to enter the workforce. If you needed a phd to serve coffee....
Also take note that industrialization is a one time bump. For the last two generations the middle class on down has been sliding down the prosperity scale even as the top 5% has seen a 400% increase in wealth in the US. Blindly believing that today is the same as yesterday had not been a good long term survival strategy.
The US has seen stagnant median wages; median wages have risen rapidly in Ireland, the UK, Benelux, Scandinavia, Austria, Switzerland & France (and obviously, median wages have more than doubled in the past decade across the whole of ex-soviet Europe).
The greatest single contributor to stagnant US wages: rapid healthcare inflation has increased payroll costs spectacularly - adding proportionally more to the payroll costs for lower income workers (enough to consume productivity gains). So while median wages have been pretty stagnant, median payroll costs have actually risen quite fast. Inclusive of payroll costs, business are willing to pay ever more for median workers. The health, statutory benefit & tax wedge is what's driving inequality most.
Other important contributors have been massive regressive tax changes with payroll tax cuts for the wealthiest, and with expanded availability and uptake of deductions. And of course, rent seeking has proceeded horrendously, with rapid growth in federal salaries & benefits (most federal employees are already in the top 3 income deciles), with rapid growth in military spending, with rapid growth in legal cost share of GDP, with enough additional complication in the tax system to boost accountants' income and with further ratcheting of restrictions on the number of people training to practice medicine (restriction of supply structured to boost professional incomes rather than allow access to healthcare).
So while economists' best guess (though there isn't really rigorous evidence) is that technological change recently has added to income inequality within developed countries (as has globalisation), it isn't the dominant reason for stagnant wages.
Into the future, technology is as likely to reduce "skills" premiums as to increase them:
- as communication costs fall, the value of exclusive social networks fall too. It's easier for ordinary people to search for the right contacts, to initiate contact, to disclose verifiably honest information & metrics and develop productive relationships.
- with improved transparency, free communication and far more distributed media without concentrated power, all of the above rent seeking activity becomes much harder to sustain. Rather, limits on registration of new physicians will eventually become political anathema. The public will soon condemn politicians wanting to pass new laws that would make systems more complex. Etc.
- with increased automation of administration processes, it becomes increasingly easy for unskilled people to establish and even scale up new businesses.
Forget PhDs to serve coffee: in the future, you won't even need a college degree to perform surgery - it's just a question of briefing the patient and handing them into the robotic theatre for the (automatically diagnosed) scheduled procedure.
"Forget PhDs to serve coffee:"
By this I mean the whole idea is the cost of a "basic" education in time and money to become employable.
"- with improved transparency, free communication and far more distributed media without concentrated power, all of the above rent seeking activity becomes much harder to sustain. .. The public will soon condemn politicians wanting to pass new laws that would make systems more complex. "
If it happens good enough, however I remember being at a conference many aeons ago when virtual reality was the topic. An individual in the audience made a comment that something like the Holocaust could never happen because a "guard would know what it was like". Reality wasn't sufficient to change people's minds when it happened.
The public so far isn't much involved in the political process, the kleptocracy is.
Technology per se will not do one thing or another, but how it is deployed definitely will.
But many of your points are quite good. I am all for most MBAs losing out in the same way the legions of lawyers have lost out being overpaid to basically to drivel work.
