David de Gea's transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid has stalled due to a delay over the paperwork - but both clubs could appeal.
Aston Villa have agreed a £1million fee with West Brom for central defender Joleon Lescott, on a deal which could rise to £2million.
Man United have agreed the sale of David De Gea to Real Madrid, with Keylor Navas poised to move the other way in a deal valued at £29m.

Thanks for the compliment.
I had to use the pneumatic tires so I wouldn't shake the welder apart travelling up and down the cement pads outside the building as I weld in any of 9 different bays, or outside.
It comes in handy because I carry a bottle of Argon mix, and a bottle of Pure Argon on the back which allows me to GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW Mild Steel and Stainless Steel, all off of one single unit.
I also have the capability to SMAW and CAC-A up to 100' away from the cart.
It is overbuilt for most, but it suits my needs and application perfectly.Later,

The snapon box only weighs about 400# when loaded (I just picked it up last night with the overhead crane). The frame uses 1" erw tubing with corner gussets on the back corners for the uprights, and then 1" angle to support the casters. It's a vertical load, and lived like that for two years with no issues. The original intent was to build shelves for under it, but I never got around to it. I finally parked that box on top of the matching lower cab I bought for it last summer. The top box came from a pawn shop.
Overkill you say; Have you ever noticed how thin sheet metal jack stands will hold your car? Are you aware your plasma cart could probably sustain a 20T vertical load.
I share your concerns about pulling the thing off, but if you're careful, that wouldn't happen. If it were me, I'd make a platform that bolted to the welder and allowed the whole top rack to slide sideways for opening the door.Syncrowave 250DX

Hey Black Wolf,
Nice work as usual.
What's not shown in those photos are the handle tabs welded to the underside of the 2" support below the lower shelf.
I took a couple tabs (if you will) and drilled 1" holes in them. Then took a burr and cut a notch off to the side at 90 degrees. Handle is a length of 3/4" pipe bent into two 90 deg angles with a 1/4" stud welded at the end where it goes thru the tabs. You simply slide the handle in, rotate up 90 deg, and lift the front casters off the ground.
Cart was built this way so that I could roll it out to the yard. We have 50A outlets (for plugging the boats in while in for service) and air drops at several points in the yard (and on the docks). Around the shop I don't use the handle since the cart rolls so easily. Size is a little misleading in the photos. Those rear wheels are 10" and the front casters are 4". First time my buddy saw the cart, he called it the "all terrain" plasma cart.

Hey man. Yea I know a little about vertical loads. Also understand a little about lateral loading also.
Just thought it funny to see your mig cart (built like a tank) and then there was that nice Snap On box sitting on those spindly legs. Glad to hear it's found a "proper home".
Guess I'm a little sensitive. We've got a guy who works for the yard who could break an anvil if it wasn't bolted down. Great guy and a hard worker. Just doesn't think sometimes. Went into the shop a couple of weeks ago. Laying on my woodworking bench was one of my cabinet chisels (Lie-Neilson honed to a razor edge) and the cutting edge looked like a saw tooth. When I asked him what the he!! he'd used it for, he replied "Oh, I just knocked some bronze plates off that sailboat mast." Oh well, an hour later after the Tormek grinder and the waterstones, my chisel was good as new.
The box sat between angle braced across the bottom of the top rails, so that the structure itself helped support the uprights from twisting. The sides were saddled in the lips of the vertical angle end plates, then the bottom support rails of the box cradled the crossmembers. The whole works was welded on one side, then clamped on the other. It was actually very rigid considering it only needed to roll around flat concrete. If I needed to use it on an angle (like my driveway), I would've done it a little differently.
The mig cart is actually more flexible than I had hoped for. The channel should've really been tubing, but it isn't so twisty as to need boxing (I thought about it). Had I used the channel in the other plane, it would be far more rigid, but then it would've taken up more width and made the whole thing wider. It's the price I paid for making it a single backbone design rather than a box. I also made the whole cart out of stock on hand, so that limited my material choices. The top skin was part of the old washing machine.Syncrowave 250DX

Fully understand using "stock on hand". I've "modified" many projects to use what I had available.
I'm pretty lucky in that sense. Got a good friend who runs a pretty large (50+ men) fab shop. I do a little consulting for him and did a lot of consulting for his dad when his dad used to own Atlantic Steel Fabricators. I have access to his dumpsters (Alum, SS, and mild steel). It's amazing how much "good stuff" gets thrown away. Having access to a water jet and a 10' x 20' plasma table (Hypertherm 260 cutter) is also nice.
I buy most of the steel I buy thru them also. Better price than I can get elsewhere and they get deliveries at least 3 times per week.
This is one of my stock on hand piles (yes, a material rack is on the agenda):
And here's the toolbox:
Now I get to migrate most of the stuff out of the top one into the bottom one after cutting some new drawer liners for it. It'll be nice not having to dig through my combination wrenches to find the right one. The bottom unit has been sitting empty since it came home.Syncrowave 250DX

SundownIII, yeah, I was thinking your cart didn't look THAT overbuilt!
Jason....now THAT'S a cart I want to build!!!!!!!!
but...ugh......RED??? JUST JOKING!!! I've used that mig before, and I know it kicks @ss!!!!!!!!!!!! The only thing I would have changed though, is tuck in those foot plates so they wouldn't have stuck out.
Other than that, that is a D@MN awsome cart!!!!!!I'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time
Hey Bert - Thanks for the compliments...
I'm working on learning more Hawaiian, but I am not following "foot plates" I've enclosed a few pics of it in raw steel to show the front casters sticking out past the frame so I could use 3 bolts/caster, and also show why I needed the frame wider at the rear to accomodate the dual bottles.
I am curious though about the "foot plates"

If you're interested in gaining insights into how things work in a prospective employer, look to the style, values and priorities of a firm's top leader.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): The firm always reflects the leader(s). They establish the cadence and their styles define the environment during their tenure. Strive to understand what makes a firm's senior leader tick and you'll have great insight into what life is like this firm. Choose carefully, because a mismatch between your values and style preferences and those of the leader you go to work for is almost always a formula for trouble.

I would add "Learn to Read the Room" and recognize the audience needs and challenges before speaking...look for the guy who will give you the most trouble and win him over first.

From hbr
Meditation is not a shortcut.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Looking at mindfulness as a tool for accomplishing what we need to get done keeps us trapped in a future-oriented mindset, rather than encouraging us to dilate the present moment. Of course, this doesn't invalidate the neuroscience; mindfulness makes us get more stuff done. But what about allowing mindfulness to just be? To have the effects it is going to have, without attaching a marketing pitch to this ancient practice?
Psychologist Kristin Neff is renowned for coining the term "self-compassion." In particular, Neff has asserted that the first component of self-compassion is kindness, the ability to shrug off those times when we "let ourselves down," when we don't get to check off everything from our to do lists. The other two components are awareness and, lastly, mindfulness. The goal is not to get more done, but to understand that we are enough, and that our worth is not contingent on what we get done. (Although funnily enough, studies have shown that self-forgiveness helps us procrastinate less.)
I'm not an idealist. I'm not saying everyone should start "Om-ing," devoting themselves solely to self-compassion, and forgetting their to do lists. But I am saying that compassion, and self-compassion, ought to more in the foreground as we talk about mindfulness — even in corporate mindfulness programs.
There is no shame in wanting to be productive at work. But there is also no shame in being able to cut yourself some slack, to extend yourself some love during those times at work when things don't feel so great.
From medium
Amazon isn't the only company burning out their employees with unsustainable expectations. Let's break the cycle.
donhornsby's insight:
A thoughtful exploration of work/life balance. Rest Matters.
(From the article): The research is clear: beyond ~40–50 hours per week, the marginal returns from additional work decrease rapidly and quickly become negative. We have also demonstrated that though you can get more output for a few weeks during "crunch time" you still ultimately pay for it later when people inevitably need to recover. If you try to sustain crunch time for longer than that, you are merely creating the illusion of increased velocity. This is true at multiple levels of abstraction: the hours worked per week, the number of consecutive minutes of focus vs. rest time in a given session, and the amount of vacation days you take in a year.
Rest matters.
Seeking retaliation, rather than forgiveness, traps you in the anger. The truth is, studies have found that forgiving is good for the body and the soul.
donhornsby's insight:
Forgiveness is essential for any leader and manager.
(From the article): There are several benefits to forgiveness. From a moral imperative, turning your cheek is the right thing to do. Period. Furthermore, it's a lot healthier and takes a lot less energy to forgive someone than to hold a grudge and remain angry. The fact is, when you're consumed by bitterness, resentment, and vengeance, you can get swallowed up by your anger. As Lewis B. Smedes, the renowned theologian, said, "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."
Forgiveness does not mean suppressing your feelings or pretending the anger doesn't exist. Instead, forgiveness requires a conscious decision to release your resentment and thoughts of revenge. It also calls on you to acknowledge and practice the full range of emotions that you possess, such as grief and anger as well as kindness and compassion — even toward someone who has hurt you deeply.
That's tough, you say? It's important to remind yourself that one of the main reasons to show forgiveness is to benefit yourself. Hate is a cancer on one's soul. It can cause you to feel helpless and frustrated and trap you in a never-ending cycle of anger and resentment. And although you may have every reason to be bitter, you will be compounding the problem by keeping the issue alive. Think of it this way: While they hurt you once, now you're doing it to yourself.
The truth is, forgiveness reduces the offender's grip on you and helps you focus on other, positive areas of your life. So follow the wisdom of Robert Brault, the author, who said, "If you can't forgive and forget, pick one."
If you aspire to be a bigger, better and bolder leader, here five ideas on how to enlarge your leadership abilities and impact.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): If you're not having fun in your leadership journey, those around you probably aren't either. There are always challenges and difficulties–and dealing with them is a big part of what leadership is about–but focusing on your strengths, opportunities and the people who matter will keep you grounded and prevent you from burning out.
Living large isn't just about wealth and affluence, but attitude and orientation. When you live large, enjoying the people, opportunities and activities around you, you lead larger, too.
I have never met anyone who was successful in life who did not have at least one mentor. Having good mentors indicates that you have a great network—something every 21st century executive and leader should have. However, finding the right mentor can be a challenge.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): In the end, each of us has different careers and different needs to mentors. Moreover, we all know people who could benefit from what we have learned from our mentors. As much as you will get from talking and spending time with your mentors, you will get more from mentoring yourself. It really is the best was to 'pay it forward,' which in itself, is the sign that you are a 21st Century Executive.
We all want our children to become leaders.
Whether they spend the bulk of their days in the mailroom or the corner office, we want our children to grow to be courageous, passionate and authentic. We want their actions to inspire other people to be their best, to get more out of life than they ever thought possible.
As parents and caretakers of children, their path to leadership is in our hands.
Via Anne Leong, Roger Francis
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): The beauty of building children into leaders is that it's the little things we do every day that mold them into the people they'll become.

Wouldn't the ability to share open and honest feedback throughout the organization improve their chances of addressing their issues, and more quickly?
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): So unless you've got the budget to hire a consultant to do the straight talk for you, it's time for you to lead the way by encouraging difficult conversations inside your organization. If you can tackle these three steps up front, you'll find your feedback flywheel will begin spinning faster and faster. Otherwise, that elephant in the room is bound to trip you up sooner or later.
Undermining your health actually is not a career advantage.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): For busy entrepreneurs, there are a number of ways to slowly transition into a consistent workout routine. First, remember that small changes can make a huge difference. Start by taking the stairs in lieu of escalators and elevators. Adopt a standing desk. Walk to work. You will quickly realize that these minor adjustments aid in reducing stress, building confidence and boosting your energy. Soon enough, you won't dread going to the gym. At that point, you may even enjoy it!

How to build your reputation.
Via Barb Jemmott
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Finally, the best antidote if you're lacking an expert reputation now is to start creating one ASAP. Creating original contentis the single most effective way to develop an expert reputation. Though the best channel will vary (photographers and chefs should double down on Instagram, while it's less helpful for attorneys and insurance brokers), blogging is a good betfor most professionals. In just an hour or two a week, you can begin to demonstrate how you think about the issues facing your field and sharing your unique point of view. Your content creation sparks a virtuous circle: because reporters looking for comment almost always start their articles with an online search, if your name keeps coming up as someone writing about the issues, they're likely to contact you, reinforcing your expert reputation with third-party validation.
If you're not yet considered an expert, it's harder to get your ideas noticed — but not impossible. With these strategies, you can begin to overcome others' resistance and make sure your voice is heard.
Barb Jemmott's curator insight, August 31, 9:02 AM
One of the most powerful forms of influence, according to psychologist Robert Cialdini's famous analysis, is authority - often derived by perceived expertise. When you don't have outstanding credentials, how do you stand out?
From hbr
A new NBER working paper suggests it'll be those that require strong social skills — which it defines as the ability to work with others — something that has proven to be much more difficult to automate.
donhornsby's insight:
"The days of being able to plug away in isolation on a quantitative problem and be paid well for it are increasingly over," Deming told me. "You need of have both types of skills."
(From the article): The call for social skills, "soft" skills, emotional intelligence, and the like, isn't something new. Employers are constantly stressing the need for workers who can collaborate and communicate on teams. Meanwhile, the evidence on how automation effects employment remains inconclusive. (Other studies have posited that robots might be improving productivity, rather than costing jobs.) But while it might be too soon to start bracing for a dystopian no-jobs future, it's not too early to think about whether people are learning the right skills they'll need to succeed in tomorrow's workforce.
It's probably a good time to check back in with some of your personal or professional goals, remember? Those things you promised yourself you'd use to get you to that next step in your personal, professional or business life.
You probably went so far as creating smart goals, making sure you took care of each step in the SMART goal process. This Derek Sivers TedTalk suggests you should keep those goals to yourself.
donhornsby's insight:
Maybe it's time to keep those goals to yourself.
(From the article): As Derek says, "When you think of your biggest personal goals, you decide you're going to do it, tell people what you're going to do and then you accept their congratulations. Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud?" Well, maybe, the next time you feel like this you should just keep it to yourself and remember to "keep those goals to yourself!"
Successful leadership is half knowing where you are going and half knowing if you're making any progress in that direction.

(From the article): Be present and show gratitude.
I remember when, as a leader, I rarely took the time to celebrate the organization's accomplishments. Because every moment was filled with business, I never took the time to really be present. Love your business, love your work, be mindful of your accomplishments and live in the moment. It only comes once.

(From the article): Anderson has benefited professionally from the group in many ways, from learning about new technologies that improve her business to staying abreast of industry trends. It's also put dollars into her pocket. When she was being considered as a keynote speaker for a conference and had little experience in the industry, the conference organizer was willing to take a chance on hiring her – purely on the basis of two people from her group vouching for her. She believes the biggest benefit of the group, however, has been the personal growth that's come from cultivating deep, long-term professional relationships. "It's scalable, not in terms of more [group members], but in the ways we know to help each other. There's a record of witnessing each other's lives," she says. "It's made me a better person because of the mutuality at the center of it."
The public conversation around networking is often about the quick hits: how to shake more hands and grab more business cards. But creating a longer-running mastermind group, whether you want it to last a few years or a lifetime, is a testament to the value of depth over breadth. In a fast-moving world, having people in your life who have watched you grow and progress can be a powerful touchstone, with lasting results.

When people talk about using social media to advance their careers, they're usually talking about LinkedIn, Twitter, or maybe their blog. But the reality is that more people use Facebook than any other social network, which means that sooner or later, you need a Facebook strategy for your career.
donhornsby's insight:
(From the article): Using all of these tactics can ensure you don't accidentally overshare with colleagues — without denying yourself the pleasure of connecting with them and with your friends. Better yet, once you've done a good job of quarantining your personal content on Facebook, you can actually use it to keep in touch with the people you care about, without constantly worrying about the professional impact of each post. When you're able to use the world's largest social network for both professional and personal reasons, you'll rediscover social media at its best: not as a platform for self-promotion, but as a platform for genuine human connection.

I purchased a new digital elite the other day. The first job I put it to the test with was a small gouge and weld job. The hood was working great but after the 3rd 4" arcair pass i started to see triple and it has never came back to normal. The hood was never any closer than 2' to the arc and did not get hot, just as a note. I have replaced all the lenses and made sure they were in proper. Also, I heard that a way to stop the illusion is to flip the shade in the rubber surround so it will be closer to the outer cover lense but this did not work; I have also tryed covering up the back of the hood so no outside light could get in but that did not work either. The only way I could get the illusion to stop was while welding use my finger and push the outer cover lense (bend it) closer to the shade, but when i release my finger the lense comes back out and the illusion returns.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Digital Elite problem ; seeing triple while welding
I just bought a new digital elite helmet to replace of of my 2 I already own and I have to say first that the headgear sucks balls. Its cheap, chinsy, flimsy, crap as far as a fabricator goes. It sucks putting on and off in a regular basis, BUT, it is very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. So this I say is a welder headgear, not a fabricators headgear. The lens is nice. I always loved the X mode for welding outside.
With my last helmet, (3 years old), it would work fine and then everything would drop by 50-60% shade wise. So welding at 10, it would just drop to a 4 or 5 with 10 still shown. I changed out the batteries twice with proper miller and no help. Power off for 3 minutes works for a few minutes, then back to 50%.
I have also had times where I have seen 3 actions before. It was during welding and plasma cutting. All I ever did was to power off the helmet, remove batteries for 3 minutes and reinstall and it worked fine. I never had a shade problem, and it wasn't caused from a crooked lens. It seemed as though the 2 sides of the lens didn't smoothly come together and created "shadows"

It's an addiction.
Winning, that is, when you are a world-class player in one of the most competitive sports on the planet. And the most recent winner in Formula One is Australia's own Mark Webber, who will line up on the Albert Park grid for Red Bull Racing once again this weekend.
Webber, who went so close to the World Championship crown in 2010, came out of a difficult 2011 campaign with the taste of success in his mouth once more after winning the final race of the season in Brazil.
"It was great to touch on those (winning) feelings again in Brazil, and it's beautiful to finish the season like that," said Webber on the eve of the season-opening Albert Park event.
That Brazilian victory was more than enough to dispel any thoughts of hanging up the racing boots: "I absolutely have to hang around and have another crack," Webber added after taking his career win total to seven, all of those in the last three seasons.
"When you don't get the most out of a situation you always want to come back and improve and do a better job. The bar has been lifted very, very high in the last few seasons and it's the challenge I'm looking forward to.
"I've had a really good winter and prepared for the season as best I can so I'm looking forward to the new season, I just cannot wait to get racing."
Webber is, by some distance, the most experienced Formula 1 driver Australia has ever had – his 176-race career tally is already 50 more than the great Sir Jack Brabham started, and 60 more than our other World Champion, Alan Jones.
And even as Grand Prix number 177 on the Webber CV approaches, the enthusiasm that accompanied his first race here in 2002 still burns just as bright.
"This will be my eleventh Australian GP and I can't wait to get started," he says. "The Grand Prix is one of the best sporting events that we have in Australia. It's great to see the support and Australian flags in the crowd. I've incorporated more of an Australian theme into my helmet, which I'll be using for the whole year, not just in Australia."
Other people can see a difference in Webber too, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner among them. "I think he goes to Melbourne with a spring in his step, which wasn't the case last year," says Horner. "He is in a good frame of mind and hopefully he can have a strong season."
Webber enjoyed an unusually restful spell in his home country over the local summer, but the hectic round of pre-season testing and the annual business of getting to grips with a brand-new racing car have been as manic as ever, even – or perhaps especially – for the team that has won both the Drivers' and Constructors' titles for the last two years in a row.
"It's been an extremely intense few months for the whole team," Webber acknowledges, "and it's incredible when you count up how many sleep-deprived hours have gone in to preparing the car as best we can – from pit stops to reliability to driver comfort in the cockpit. You name it, we've always been looking to improve."
The F1 authorities have also been working hard to improve the racing, fine-tuning the regulations to build on a 2011 season that was often highly entertaining despite Webber's team-mate Sebastian Vettel's eventual dominance.
Changes to the cars' aerodynamics and especially a new, softer range of compounds from tyre supplier Pirelli could be the main changes, but how much difference will they make to what we see on track?
"I don't think much is going to change for the people in the grandstands," Webber insists. "They won't notice too much at all, because if the cars are going around two seconds a lap slower, it's not a huge thing for them. For the drivers, we feel a bit with less grip.
"Obviously the cars were very sophisticated at the end of last year with how the exhausts were working with the blown diffusers, and the engines were a huge part of the aerodynamic platform of the car. That's gone now with the change of regulation, but I don't think there'll be any huge changes when it comes to the racing this year."
That means Vettel, with the #1 on his car again, will be the primary target, not just for other teams but for Webber himself. Saturday afternoons could be the key to his success: he needs to stop Vettel from grabbing 15 pole positions, as he did last year to set a new all-time record, and putting a stranglehold on the race come Sunday afternoon.
"If Seb's dominating that pole position, it gives him a very strong position to tee the race up, so he needs to drop the consistency off that," says Webber firmly. "If I can put myself in that position and get to that first pit-stop first, that makes things a lot easier within our own little battle." Asked if anyone could stop the young German winning a third successive title, no less a figure than Bernie Ecclestone, the man who runs the F1 show, came up with an encouraging answer.
"I think Mark will if anybody does, and I really think Sebastian would like Mark to win the title if he can't win it again himself," said Ecclestone. "I spoke to Mark and he's really motivated now. I told him Sebastian is quick, you just have to be quicker and keep your head down."
Webber would like nothing more, but having the first race of a new season in his home country, with the attendant media frenzy, is inevitably a challenge.
"Trying to keep it as normal a race as possible for me is the key," he explains. "We can do a phenomenal amount of interviews and requests because everyone's very keen for that two-week period, but at the end of the day it's about trying to keep it as a normal Grand Prix.
"Go down there, get the job done, get the most out of myself, work with the guys and make sure I'm in a very good frame of mind mentally to put my best foot forward to try to win the race.
"We can talk a lot about it but we need to get on the track."

Tips for Maximizing Productivity and Decreasing Costs in Job Shops
Improving productivity, ensuring the best quality and reducing costs are all important if job shops are to remain competitive and provide the best, and most timely, service and products to their customers.
The goal of any job is to complete it correctly, on time, within budget and with the greatest amount of efficiency — and it's no different for welding applications in a job shop. Improving productivity, ensuring the best quality and reducing costs are all important if job shops are to remain competitive and provide the best, and most timely, service and products to their customers.
There is more to keeping to these goals, however, than just having the fastest employees or a particular piece of equipment. Factors like product storage (particularly filler metals), welding operator safety and training, and effective purchasing are also critical. As job shops become more sophisticated, it's also important to find the most efficient ways of managing the quality- and productivity-enhancing aspects of the welding process.
Here are five key tips to help job shops meet their goals — all while gaining that competitive edge.
Offer ongoing educational opportunities and training to employees
Investing time and money into training can yield significant long-term benefits for a job shop. Welding operators benefit individually from process and equipment training, and in many cases, it can also help them optimize the welding operation for greater efficiency. Proper training also can give job shops a competitive edge over those that have less-skilled labor, and it promotes teamwork among employees.
Training opportunities typically are available through equipment and filler metal manufacturers or welding distributors. In some cases, working with a local technical college can offer training for specific applications.
Employee involvement and training is based on the idea of continuous improvement. Better-trained welder operators are more involved in the process and more invested in the job they do. It empowers employees to have ownership of their portion of the process.
Proper training takes a commitment of time and effort, but the investment can pay off in the long run by reducing downtime, inefficiencies and lost productivity, and by improving quality of the end product.
Instill proper safety measures
Addressing the weld fumes created by welding processes is one way to create a cleaner, more productive job shop. Along with making employee comfort a priority, controlling weld fumes also helps ensure compliance with regulations.
There are many options for weld fume management, and selecting the best solution depends on cost, space and the actual welding applications conducted in a job shop. Also, note that every welding environment is different and should be inspected by a qualified industrial hygienist to determine the appropriate course of action for fume controls.
Modifying the welding process can help reduce weld fume. Changing base material, wire, gas, process, and/or optimizing parameters are all options job shops can utilize. Teaching employees proper weld positioning to minimize exposure to the weld fume path is also important. Welder operators should not position themselves directly above the weld and should never stand between a fan and the weld.
Beyond welding process and behavioral changes, the next step is to consider engineering controls such as source capture systems. Source capture is designed to draw weld fume away from the welding operator's breathing zone and keep the facility cleaner. These systems, however, can be difficult to position over large weldments or obstructions in the weld cell.
New advancements in source capture technology are making that challenge easier. These mobile fume extraction systems increase the fume extraction area to a greater width and distance — up to 4 feet wide and 5 feet away. This larger capture area reduces downtime and pauses during welding that are spent repositioning the capture arm. This extended capture system is the best choice for any weldment or part over 18 inches long. Other source capture options are available, as well, depending on the size and needs of individual job shops. These include conventional portable or mobile floor models, stationary/wall-mounted models, fume guns and centralized industrial systems (for larger shops).
If the above measures aren't enough to address safety and compliance issues, using personal protective equipment, such as Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs), air supply helmets and half-mask respirators is the best option.
Establish proper filler metal storage and handling practices
Taking simple precautions to store and handle filler metals correctly can help job shops get the best performance out of product and minimize costs. Damaged filler metals, including stick electrodes and solid or tubular wire, can cause poor weld quality that ultimately leads to expensive and time-consuming rework. Also, if filler metals become wet or pick up contaminants such as dirt, oil or grease, they need to be replaced.
Filler metals are in sealed packaging when they leave the factory. The first step in keeping them in the best possible condition is to always use gloves when removing them from their original packaging or preparing them for welding, since filler metals can easily pick up sweat from bare hands.
Welding operators should keep filler metals away from areas in the shop where plasma or oxyfuel cutting takes place, as the cutting dust from those processes can accumulate on the surface of solid and tubular wires and cause poor wire feeding. The dust also can clog the contact tip and nozzle on the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) gun, creating poor electrical conductivity and an unstable or erratic arc. Filler metals also should be kept away from water, oil and grease — all contaminants that can lead to poor weld quality, rework or other performance issues.
Storing filler metals properly when they are not in use is important. At a minimum, welding operators should cover the welding wire spool with a plastic bag if it's left on the feeder overnight. A better practice is to remove the spool from the feeder, place it in a clean plastic bag and close it securely. Store it in a clean, dry area until it's used again. Using an enclosed wire feeder, when possible, is another good way to protect the welding wire from the environment.
Stick electrodes should be stored in ovens according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
Implement weld information management
Weld information management is not new to the industry, but it's a technology that can contribute positively to the efficiency of a job shop. In the past, this technology delivered raw data, and it was up to the user to take that data, interpret it and convert it into actions for meaningful continuous improvement. Often, the effort needed to convert the data into actionable information was too much — especially for a smaller shop that may have limited resources. Technology has evolved to help bridge the gap between data and information, and it requires less manpower.
Welding equipment manufacturers have embedded weld information management capabilities directly into power sources for simplified deployment and management or in some cases, have made the power sources able to be easily retrofitted by adding a module. Weld information management systems that are fully integrated into the power source offer seamless integration and minimal start-up time, and many feature wireless capabilities, so the data is easily uploaded into a computer program. Newer weld information management systems are cloud-based, allowing job shops to access information from the integrated power source or retrofitted module by way of a standard Internet web browser.
The primary categories of weld data monitoring are real-time weld/arc monitoring, which measures defined variables like voltage, wire speed and gas flow; weld data acquisition, which measures, displays and stores defined variables to evaluate specific arc characteristics; and production data, which provides various layers of productivity-related information, including overall equipment effectiveness.
The real value of this technology comes when the production output is compared to acceptable limits or standards so the job shop can identify potential process variances and understand the true cost of the welding operation.
Ultimately, job shops can use this information to increase productivity, improve quality and training and lower operating costs. The data provides many opportunities for continuous improvement and can help shops assess risks and set goals.
Purchase on quality, not price
It's important to select the best filler metal and equipment for the job, and sometimes this means making a bigger investment. While the up-front cost savings are tempting, cheaper isn't always better, because it can lead to problems down the road such as poor weld quality and more maintenance.
With regard to filler metals, it's not uncommon to experience downtime associated with poor wire feeding, excessive spatter or weld defects when using lower-quality products. Job shops may also find themselves spending an excessive amount of time on activities that hinder productivity, such as applying anti-spatter and post-weld grinding or rework. It's important to look at the total cost of using particular filler metals, as opposed to the per-unit cost. Higher quality filler metals can often minimize labor costs and provide better weld quality and greater productivity.
The same considerations are true when selecting power sources. Less expensive machines may not have the longevity of more expensive, quality equipment, which can result in higher and more frequent replacement costs for job shop fleets. Cheaper machines may also experience more breakdowns, which mean higher maintenance costs and lost productivity. More expensive machines also may offer a more intuitive product interface and better ease of operation, making it easier to train welder operators.
In closing
These tips may involve an investment of time, effort and resources, but they can pay off in productivity and quality gains and reduced costs in the long run for job shops that use a variety of welding processes and equipment. The goal for any shop to remain competitive is to look for practical efficiencies that make it easier to manage their filler metals and equipment, and get the most out of these technologies. Having well-trained and safe employees adds to that goal, instilling a sense of ownership and pride in having a well-run shop.

Mark Webber said his Red Bull team-mate and triple Champion Sebastian Vettel is now in "a club of his own" after Sunday's success in Brazil.
Webber came in fourth but said the 25-year-old German had achieved something "very, very special" after claiming his third straight title by finishing sixth in a wild and rain-hit race at Interlagos.
"He's in a club on his own now," said Webber.
"Very, very special to do it three times in a row. Last year was a little more straightforward, but this year was a bit more difficult, as was 2010.
"Three in a row is going some, for sure. So I congratulate him, it's a great effort."
Ironically, Webber almost made contact with Vettel at a re-start following a mid-race Safety Car intervention, before diving onto the run-off.
"I was up nice and high and I was trying to get back into it, but I was on the white line and I had absolutely no grip," said Webber, who had previously fallen down the order following a collision with Kamui Kobayashi.
"I tried to go wide and stay away from Sebastian," he added.
"It was quite a tricky race for Seb and I... The temperature wasn't super-easy for us to get into the car. But that race - it didn't disappoint in terms of drama, did it?"

Steve: "I am baking a CAKE"
Beaver: "Oh boy! Can I help? Do you need me to fetch any ingredients?"
Panel 2
Beaver is holding a bottle with 50ml of virgin's blood, and Steve reads a book while wearing reading glasses.

- It seems Beaver always carries a 50ml bottle of virgin's blood around.
- Beaver makes a reference to the Atkins Diet, which has been a subject of controversy for many years.
- J. K. Rowling, the apparent author of "Dæmonic summonation, a beginner's guide" is most widely known as the author of the Harry Potter series.

- In 2010, Red Bull King of the Rock went down in history as the first official sporting event ever to be held on Alcatraz and the first time basketball had been played on "The Rock" since the inmates left the island over 50 years ago. Now in its third year, the global one-on-one basketball tournament will return with the most competitive field to date. Bigger and better than ever, Red Bull King of the Rock has expanded to qualifiers in 27 countries, including 33 in the United States. From these qualifiers, 64 finalists will head to the island to put it all on the line in "The Yard" on September 22. Respect will be earned and feelings will be hurt, but there can be only one King, and out of the 64 finalists, one player will be crowned Red Bull King of the Rock.
