Compared with seamless pipes, high frequency welded pipes are characterized by high continuity, high efficiency and low cost. At the same time, the production of raw material strip is developing rapidly, and the proportion of welded pipes in the whole pipe is increasing. The production of high frequency welded pipe mill line has the characteristics of no pollution and low noise, and does not produce waste water and waste gas. Circulating water cooling is used in production, which is energy-saving, environmental protection and labor-saving. Only 5-8 people are needed for one shift. In application, with the improvement of weld quality and non-destructive testing reliability of welded pipe, the use of welded pipe is more and more widely. It replaces seamless pipe in more fields and uses. High frequency welding can not only improve the welding speed, but also obtain small heat affected zone and good burn-through weld.
In terms of quality, the high frequency welded pipe mill line has the advantages of good weld quality, small internal and external burrs, high welding speed and low power consumption, which can be widely used and promoted. High-frequency welded pipe unit can normally produce round pipes, while also square and rectangular pipes are produced. Because square and rectangular pipes have large section modulus, can withstand greater bending force, can save a lot of metal, save processing time and reduce the weight of components, etc., so they are widely used in industry and agriculture area.
For the maintenance of high frequency welded pipe mill line, we should learn three points as below.
First of all, in the process of use, we must strictly operate according to the operating procedures in the instruction manual, not to overload and operate the machine. And we have to check the machinery before complaining about production or mechanical operation. Whether the parts can work normally, whether there is any fault, only when the various parts and indicators of the machine are normal, the machine can be started up and put into production, otherwise it will cause mechanical loss.
Secondly, after checking all parts of the high pipe mill line, we should start running again. In the process of production, we should ensure the stability of the temperature and production condition of the mill line equipment. If the equipment fails, we must stop production and check which part of the mill line is out of order to avoid causing greater losses. The main faults include the unstable operation of mill line, the grinding of equipment, and whether there are abnormal noises in the operation process. If there are any problems, they should be checked in time.
Thirdly, after the mill line has been used for a period of time, we should pay attention to the regular lubrication and cleaning of the mill line to ensure its cleanliness. Only in this way can the machine run normally and be more portable in its production. For the aging parts of the mill line, we must replace them in time to ensure that the whole line can run normally at any time.

The National Workers’ Union (NWU) notes the blatant double standard being displayed by this Government, as it continues the proud tradition of previous regimes of fixing up the big boys while workers (voters) continue to eat the bread that the devil kneads.
The Minister of Education publicly announces that his ministry is seeking to pay off by June, some $800 million in debts owed to contractors involved with school repairs. He went on further saying that government will have to pay yet unquantified “penalties” for its tardiness. The NWU accepts that debts owed should be paid.
The problem arises however in how government is treating its debts to its employees, policemen, firemen, health workers employed by the RHA’s, etc. Their attitude is as though paying workers their hard earned backpay is some sort of favour being granted to them. Government operates as though it can pay those workers if, when and however it feels; that it can unilaterally decide to pay part cash, part bonds on terms it determines. Debts to contractors however will be paid in full by June inclusive of penalties.
The NWU believes that this $800 million being paid to contractors involved in school repairs is but the tip of the iceberg. The Minister of Finance had stated publicly in 2015 that debt to contractors ran into billions of dollars. In his mid-term review when he dealt with the debt to workers he was ominously silent as to how GOTT was dealing with this obligation to contractors.
The conspiracy thickened when the previously vocal contractor groupings fell deafeningly silent. Circumstantial evidence suggests that a secret deal may have been struck with the contractors. While workers are urged to be patriotic in these “difficult” times and are blasted for being greedy in demanding their just due, contractors’ bills are being settled in full.
What is particularly heartless about this approach is many former employees of the RHA’s are today subsisting on pensions of $600.00-$800.00 per month and are in desperate need of their backpay, having been blasted by soaring prices on virtually every item or service needed.
The NWU calls on the Minister of Finance to immediately halt this bias against workers. ALL DEBTS MUST BE PAID IN CASH AND IN FULL BY END OF JUNE. Affected workers must resist this contemptuous treatment by the government regardless of which party they belong to or who they voted for.

This short book 'The Elements of Style' was recommended to me in a writing class I recently took, and I was really impressed by how helpful it was in my everyday writing! I wanted to share some of it with the FimFam since we do so much writing here, and hopefully some of you will find it helpful too. Our rping is primarily for fun, of course, but for anyone interested in improving or polishing their style, I think this is also a great place to do that!
I've summarized and paraphrased here what I found to be most relevant, and it is nowhere near complete (definitely read the book if you're interested). I also don't claim any credit for any of this! While I love writing and studying grammar, I struggle a lot with these things too and could never come up with the elegant guidelines that Strunk did. I'll insert some of my own inputs as well as any suggestions you guys come up with, but I want to make it clear that most of these examples are straight from the 'The Elements of Style'.
Moreover, all of these are suggestions - none of them are intended as set-in-stone rules! Writing is subjective, and anything that reads the way that you want it to is correct, end of story. Polishing your style is only meant to help you clearly communicate what YOU want to say, not make you conform to anyone else's idea of what's right or not.
I hope it's helpful and not too intimidating a wall of text... Don't feel the need to read it all in one go, haha. I've split it up into sections with the intent of letting it be here as a reference if needed, and maybe we can also make this thread a place to post questions and ask for constructive critiques & revisions!
Create a clear, logical structure and flow.
Each paragraph, whether several sentences or just one, should function to describe or illustrate one point, event, or idea. Paragraph breaks show a logical flow of thoughts or events and help prevent walls of text that look intimidating.
Passive: "My first visit to this city will always be remembered by me."
Active: "I will always remember my first visit to this city."
Passive: "The ground was covered by dead leaves."
Active: "Dead leaves covered the ground."
Passive: "At dawn the rooster's crow could be heard."
Active: "The rooster's crow came with dawn."
Use of 'not' often reads as indefinite and noncommittal, while positive form is more assertive.
Negative: "She did not think that studying Latin was a sensible use of time."
Positive: "She thought the study of Latin was a waste of time."
Negative: "He was not very often on time."
Positive: "He usually came late."
"did not remember" = "forgot"
"did not pay any attention to" = "ignored"
"did not have much confidence in" = "distrusted"
Make statements without using unnecessary conditionals.
Conditionals like "could", "might", and "can" sound doubtful and lack authority.
Conditional: "Plath may be ranked among those modern poets who died young."
Assertive: "Plath was one of those modern poets who died young."
Conditional: "Applicants can make a good impression by being neat and punctual."
Assertive: "Applicants will make a good impression if they are neat and punctual."
Vague: "A period of unfavorable weather set in."
Specific: "It rained every day for a week."
Vague: "He showed satisfaction as he took possession of his well-earned reward."
Specific: "He grinned as he pocketed the coin."
"the question as to whether" = "whether"
"there is no doubt but that" = "no doubt", "doubtless"
"he is a man who" = "he"
"owing to the fact that" = "since"
"in spite of the fact that" = "although", "despite"
"the fact that he had not succeeded" = "his failure"
Keep in mind the order of words.
Order them so that your flow of thought is uninterrupted and clear.
Clear: "He noticed a large stain right in the center of the rug."
Clear: "For just two dollars, you can call your mother in London and tell her all about George's taking you out to dinner."
Clear: "A stir that suggested disapproval swept the audience."
Interrupted: "A dog, if you fail to discipline him, becomes a household pest."
Uninterrupted: "Unless disciplined, a dog becomes a household pest."
The most emphatic place for an important word is at the end of a sentence.
'Advice' is a noun, something you give to someone when you 'advise' them.
'Aggravate' means to ADD to an already troublesome situation; 'irritate' means to annoy.
'Aid' means help or assistance, while an 'aide' is an assistant to someone important like a president.
An allusion is an indirect mention of something; 'elude' means to avoid, like eluding a pursuer.
'Bear' as a verb means to carry, support, or endure (like 'bear with it'). 'Bear' as a noun is the furry animal. 'Bare' can be either an adjective describing something empty or uncovered or a verb meaning to uncover something.
The past tense of 'bear' is 'bore', and if you added a 'had' it would be 'had borne'. 'Borne' can also be an adjective meaning 'carried by' or 'supported by' (like an 'air-borne virus'). The past tense of 'bare' is 'bared' (like 'he bared his head by removing his hat').
'Began' is basic past tense, while 'begun' is used after 'had'. "He began to retch because the ship had begun to lurch."
'Breath' (short e sound) is a noun, something you can lose when you're surprised. 'Breathe' (long e sound) is a verb, like to breathe deeply.
Misconstrued form of "couldn't care less", meaning that you care so little it is impossible to care less.
"comprise" vs "constitute" vs "compromise"
A zoo is comprised of animals; animals constitute a zoo. Compromise means a settlement of a dispute by both sides reaching a middle ground.
A decent person is a nice, acceptable person. A pilot controls an airplane's descent so that it doesn't crash into the ground.
Being discreet means to try not to draw attention to yourself. Discrete objects are clearly separated from each other.
To affect something means to exert an effect on it.
'Farther' generally refers to distance, like throwing a ball farther than someone else. You can pursue a topic of conversation further.
'Grisly' means gruesome or revolting, 'grizzly' is a type of bear.
'Hoard' can be a noun referring to a stash or large collection, as well as a verb meaning to store or collect something. A 'horde' is a very large group (e.g., of people).
'I.e.' literally translates to 'that is' (i.e., another way of saying the same thing), while 'e.g.' means 'for example'.
The 'palate' is the roof of the mouth; a 'palette' is a board for mixing colors.
'Sight' refers to vision, while a 'site' is a place (like the site of the crime).
'Stationary' means still, not moving; 'stationery' refers to fancy paper.
A winding road is tortuous; a painful ordeal is torturous.
'Wary' means cautious or afraid; 'weary' means tired or exhausted.
A 'wreath' is a ring-shaped arrangement of flowers, leaves, etc. (like a Christmas wreath on a door), while 'wreathe' is the verb form meaning to encircle or surround something.
"He opened the letter, read it, and made a note of its contents."
"They invited the royals, a clown, and a dancer."
NOTE: Without the Oxford comma, this sentence implies that the royals ARE a clown and a dancer. "They invited the royals, a clown and a dancer."
"The best way to see a country, unless you are pressed for time, is to travel on foot."
"My brother, you will be pleased to hear, is now in perfect health."
"The audience, which had at first been indifferent, became more and more interested."
"The situation is perilous, but we still have a chance of escape."
"The early records of the city have disappeared, and its history can no longer be reconstructed."
In the sentences below, replacing the comma with a period would be incorrect.
"She was an interesting talker, a woman who had traveled all over the world."
"We met many years ago on an ocean cruise, traveling to Mexico from California."
"It is nearly half past five; we cannot reach town before dark."
NOTE: With a comma + conjunction, this becomes "It is nearly half past five, and we cannot reach down before dark."
"Mary Shelley's works are entertaining; they are full of entertaining ideas."
NOTE: With a comma + conjunction, this becomes "Mary Shelley's works are entertaining, for they are full of entertaining ideas."
"Your dedicated whittler requires three props: a knife, a piece of wood, and a back porch."
"The squalor of the streets reminded her of a line from Oscar Wilde: 'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.'"
Takes the place of other punctuation as a stylistic choice.
"His first thought on getting out of bed – if he had any thought at all – was to get back in again."
"The rear axle began to make a noise – a grinding, chattering, teeth-gritting rasp."
"The bittersweet flavor of youth – its trials, its joys, its adventures – (is/are) not soon forgotten."
"One of the ablest scientists who (has/have) attacked this problem…"
"One of those people who (is/are) never on time…"
Singular after "each", "either", "everyone", etc.
"Everybody (thinks/think) he has a unique sense of humor."
"Although both clocks strike cheerfully, neither (keeps/keep) good time."
Singular even when using "with", "in addition to", etc.
"His speech as well as his manner (is/are) objectionable."
"A soldier of proved valor, he was entrusted with the defense of the city."
INCORRECT: "A soldier of proved valor, they entrusted him with the defense of the city."
"Young and inexperienced, I thought the task easy."
INCORRECT: "Young and inexperienced, the task seemed easy to me."
Use "who" when you would otherwise use "he", and "whom" when you would use "him"
This is amazing Raven! I don't know how I didn't see it until now. Thank you for the great share!
Thanks Soupi, I appreciate the feedback and am glad you enjoy it! <3 Updated it now with some more easily confused words like bear/bare/borne, grisly/grizzly, stationery/stationary.
If someone has to reread the sentence in order to understand it, then it's not clear enough.
The increase in the reaction was observed after the addition of the copper solution.
It has been observed in the past century that genetic mutation rates have been increasing in Native American tribes, according to a recent study by Smith et al.
The investigation of the craft's engine bolt fragments was performed by the engineers in order to understand the origin of the craft's failure.
Anti-inflammatory agents may be protective for the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease and may reduce the progression of the disease.
Baby walkers are devices that provide pre-ambulatory infants with postural support in addition to offering them the opportunity to experience bipedal locomotion. They are intended to simulate the infant's independent locomotion and by doing so, it is argued, encourage and even accelerate the early acquisition of this skill.
An increase in blood pressure was observed in rats, which occurred after employment of the lithium compound in food.
The human endocrine system is responsible for the secretion of hormones and also for the regulation and metabolism of hormones throughout the human body.
The supplementation of zinc in mothers during pregnancy to observe changes in birth parameters such as weight was our primary objective in this study.
Adding the copper solution accelerated the reaction.
Smith et al. demonstrated that mutation rates among Native American tribes have increased over the past century.
The engineers studied the engine bolt fragments to investigate why the craft failed.
Anti-inflammatory agents may reduce the incidence as well as progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Baby walkers provide postural support for pre-ambulatory infants as they learn to walk. By simulating independent walking, the walkers encourage infants to begin ambulating early.
Rats fed with lithium compound displayed a subsequent increase in blood pressure.
The human endocrine system controls the secretion, regulation, and metabolism of hormones throughout the body.
Our study investigates the effects of prenatal zinc supplementation on birth weight.

if someone has to reread the sentence in order to understand it, then it's not clear enough.
the increase in the reaction was observed after the addition of the copper solution.
it has been observed in the past century that genetic mutation rates have been increasing in native american tribes, according to a recent study by smith et al.
the investigation of the craft's engine bolt fragments was performed by the engineers in order to understand the origin of the craft's failure.
anti-inflammatory agents may be protective for the occurrence of alzheimer's disease and may reduce the progression of the disease.
baby walkers are devices that provide pre-ambulatory infants with postural support in addition to offering them the opportunity to experience bipedal locomotion. they are intended to simulate the infant's independent locomotion and by doing so, it is argued, encourage and even accelerate the early acquisition of this skill.
an increase in blood pressure was observed in rats, which occurred after employment of the lithium compound in food.
the human endocrine system is responsible for the secretion of hormones and also for the regulation and metabolism of hormones throughout the human body.
the supplementation of zinc in mothers during pregnancy to observe changes in birth parameters such as weight was our primary objective in this study.
adding the copper solution accelerated the reaction.
smith et al. demonstrated that mutation rates among native american tribes have increased over the past century.
the engineers studied the engine bolt fragments to investigate why the craft failed.
anti-inflammatory agents may reduce the incidence as well as progression of alzheimer's disease.
baby walkers provide postural support for pre-ambulatory infants as they learn to walk. by simulating independent walking, the walkers encourage infants to begin ambulating early.
rats fed with lithium compound displayed a subsequent increase in blood pressure.
the human endocrine system controls the secretion, regulation, and metabolism of hormones throughout the body.
our study investigates the effects of prenatal zinc supplementation on birth weight.

While it is one of the most important milestones in your life, planning your marriage is sure to be one the most taxing events ever. It is true that there are wedding planners who can organize the entire event from beginning to end but there are still things that need your opinion; from the interior decoration to the outfit that needs to be designed for the bridesmaid. There is also the problem of a high living cost that makes people try to cut down the overall cost of weddings which means most couples tend to avoid hiring wedding planners and instead organize the whole event by themselves. On paper it does seem like an overwhelming event and it actually with the potential for multiple things to go wrong but by planning ahead and developing a basic idea of how the process is supposed to go, you can take steps and measures to ensure the event finishes flawlessly.
The first course of action should be to finalize the guest list. Most people would call you out reasoning that it is premature but many decisions regarding the wedding depend on the guest list. For an instance the amount of guests you are planning to invite will help you decide on suitable wedding location and also help you finalize the quantity of the meals. Pay attention to the location of the venue. Think about the distance for the majority of the people and plan the venue accordingly. On the same leaf, you should keep in mind that not everyone you invite is bound to come to the wedding.
You can make a rough estimate by thinking carefully about each person and the likelihood of him or her making it to the wedding. Many miss out on weddings due to work commitments, sickness or that the distance might be too long. While it is understandable that you might want to do everything by yourself to keep down costs, a wedding stylist is absolutely necessary to ensure you are looking your best at your memorable moment. An amateur stylist or your best friend will not be able to replicate the professional look that you desire especially in an event of such a magnitude.
Music is an absolute necessity at any wedding. One of the easiest ways to up the prevailing atmosphere present in the party, it does not matter if you have a band playing on stage or you are just playing music from your smartphone. It is important though that you play music that goes along with the mood and the type of guests you are inviting.

SA-702 is a new therapeutic approach with entolimod that employs the immunopotentiating properties of the drug together with alum (aluminum salts) as a vaccine adjuvant. In this context, entolimod’s immune activity would be harnessed to enhance the efficacy of vaccines by eliciting a stronger immune response to the vaccine’s particular antigen.
Many vaccines require an adjuvant to induce sufficient immune response. It is estimated that about one half of 30 of the most common vaccines approved by FDA contain alum as an adjuvant. Until recently, alum was the only adjuvant approved by FDA, but often alum alone does not allow new vaccines to reach sufficient clinical potency.
A shortage of effective and safe adjuvants is a major bottleneck in vaccine development. A newer generation of vaccine boosters combine classic adjuvants mixed with immunomodulators (like entolimod). We have collaborated with academic investigators who have performed preclinical studies that support the adjuvant potential of SA-702 in enhancing vaccine immune and wish to translate these data to clinical studies to document the immunopotentiating effect of the drug.

You cannot get a valid land appraisal unless you link up with the right experts. This implies that you have to contact a renowned land appraiser. However, choosing the right expert to work for you is no mean task. You will establish that there are more and more appraisers in this field. Below is an insight into the factors to check out when picking these experts.
For starters, you are supposed to look at the fees charged by the land appraiser. Essentially, there are land experts that will charge you more compared to others. Failure to make this analysis can easily result in overspending. You should make an effort to determine the disposable income to be used here. From here you will be able to research the pricing of the various appraiser. Furthermore, you stand a chance to get services that resonate well with your budget.
The second thing that you should check is the customer services provided by the experts. It should be made clear that this field is quite extensive. That is why you may get lost when getting these services. To circumvent such issues, you are encouraged to consider a land appraiser that treasures customer services. Furthermore, you should reaffirm that these services are reliable. This implies that there is online customer support.
You should then proceed to confirm the area of operation of the land appraiser. It would be absurd to think that the appraiser is only restricted to one state or nation. This brings about the issue of proximity to the expert. This has some impact on the reliability of the services. This means that you have to think of choosing appraisers that are close to you. The beauty of this is that you get to spend less when getting these services.
The other crucial aspect to check out is the credentials of the land appraiser. It should be made clear that there are unscrupulous people that are out there to dupe. This means that you can get conned by these individuals. Having said this, you are encouraged to look at the licensing of the experts. It is through this that you get appraisal services worth your dime. Subsequently, you are assured that all the services are undertaken in adherence with the law. You thus have to reaffirm this information with the authorities.
Last but not least, you should evaluate the performance history of the home appraisers. Given the competitive edge in this field, there are experts that are hailed for their outstanding services. Additionally, there are experts that have failed to live up to customer expectation.

Masonry is a structure that is put together with mortar by the use of bricks, rocks, boulders, concrete among others. Many people do not like the value that is associated with masonry repairs. Structural issues and masonry damages are some of the causes for masonry damages. If you notice significant cracks on the surface of the house wall, it is recommended that you hire a structural engineer to look at it. Location and the size of your home are the key determinants when it comes to the payment of a structural engineer.
A home might require different types of brick repairs whether it is still new or old. Broken blocks, hairline cracks, separation of the brick and cracked mortar are some of the signs that should drive you into seeking repairs services for your brick house. A structural engineer will help in finding out whether the foundation of your brick house causes the problem. If the issues are as a result of settling issues, then you should start by setting piers. When your home has cracks, separates or settles you can build and level it using piers. After a successful installation of the docks you should then call a masonry contractor to do the brick repairs.
There are some similarities with brick and stone repairs. It is, however, challenging for masons since the stone repairs rates are higher than the brick.
