construction industry
How we can service the construction industry
A wide variety of metals and metal powders are used within the construction industry, the most common being steel, bronze, brass, aluminium and copper. The majority of manufactured steel is used by the construction industry as it allows structures to be built quickly and cost effectively. Nickel based Stainless Steels have a broad range of finishes giving design flexibility and alongside their strength and corrosion resistance make them a practical choice for public and industrial buildings, examples include the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Aluminium is used as it is lightweight but strong, it's fluidity and high resistance to corrosion gives freedom to architects and designers. Copper can be found in a wide range of construction projects due to its combination of physical properties; conductivity, ductility, strength and corrosion resistance. Unlike other metals it is often used in its pure, unalloyed form and can be found in cladding, flashing and electrical wiring. Copper and its alloys are used in both residential and commercial buildings, they are malleable, lightweight and durable and often used in both water and gas piping. Lead is still widely used in the industry although less so than in the past, it can still be found however in sheet roofing and cladding. Metal powders of aluminium, iron, bronze, brass and copper are used blended with resin to form coatings or a castable product. When polished the resin containing metal powder takes on a variety of metallic effects. Metal powders can also enhance electrical and heat conductivity in flooring, walls and ceilings. Iron powder can be used as a low cost filler behind the decorative surface.

More Motels For You
I recommend the Downtowner Motel in Memphis, Tennessee for the consistent and classic decorating scheme with warm hues carried throughout, and effective lighting and a appropriately-sized painting on the wall. Smokers will be glad to see that the room is well supplied with ashtrays. Sorry, no wi-fi.
The Floritona in Daytona Beach claims to be on the world's most famous beach, so why are people sunbathing in the grass with a view of the parking lot (even if they are nice cars)? I don't know, but it might be worth it for you to go there and find out.
6 comments:
I like the green room with the pink bedspreads, but I am concerned at the number of chairs and wonder how many other people will be in the room . . . :)ReplyDelete
Awesome TV in the first joint, and I'll bet some folks would love the get their hands on those mid-century mod chairs too. The decor in the the last card went all fancy by comparison, sorta the Versailles of motels! And the Daytona joint isn't a 'real' motel, because the people are parked where the cars should be, perhaps they are sitting there because they know if they leave the lawn will be paved...ReplyDelete
I really like those old televisions which would have only three channels or less.ReplyDelete
Grossartig, falls ich jemals vorhabe Selbstmord zu begehen, wird eines dieser Motels in die engere Wahl des Ortes dafür kommen.; 0)ReplyDelete
The Downtowner is AAA approved, so that's where I will stay. It also has some groovy lamps to look at while I fill the ashtrays.ReplyDelete
"When in Daytona it's the Floritona!" Hah! I like that.ReplyDelete

Three games into his Cleveland Cavaliers career, three-time champion Dwyane Wade admitted he is searching for his role with his new team following the Cavs' 114-93 loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday.
"I'm trying to find it, man," Wade said after scoring five points on 2-for-8 shooting against the Magic. "It's very different, different than I've ever played. Just trying to find my way, as we go on, see how I can be best for this team. Everything's happened so fast. This has been a long, a long week."
Wade and the Cavs fell behind by as many as 37 points to Orlando, which was missing starters Elfrid Payton and Aaron Gordon, dropping their record to 2-1. Wade is averaging 5.7 points on 28 percent from the field and 25 percent from 3-point territory with 3.3 assists per game.
He has scored in single digits all three games he has played, something he did only six times in 60 games with the Chicago Bulls last season when he finished with averages of 18.3 points, 43.1 percent shooting, 31.0 percent on 3s and 3.8 assists per game.
What's the biggest difference this season for the 15-year veteran?
"My option," Wade said. "I've always been a [No.] 1 or 2 option. It's just a different game. You got to kind of figure out your way."
Cleveland's No. 1 option, LeBron James, said that integrating Wade is a priority.
"We got to get him going at some point," James said. "That's something we're going to look at and we're all trying to figure it out as well but we got to get him going and hopefully we can do that on Tuesday."
The Cavs host the Bulls on Tuesday and could be without Derrick Rose again. He missed the Magic game with a sprained left ankle that Rose classified as "mild."
Jose Calderon started in place of Rose and was pulled after just five minutes, with Orlando jumping out to a big early lead. James said it was the first time at any point during training camp, preseason or the regular season he'd shared the court with Calderon on his team.
There are many pieces that Cleveland is trying to fit together, however Cavs coach Tyronn Lue, like James, also spoke about Wade as if the 12-time All-Star is near the top of his to-do list.
"Just got to get him in positions to where he's comfortable," Lue said. "Right now we have a new offense, a different offense than he's accustomed to running. We just have to put him in better positions to be aggressive and get to a spot. That's not really an issue of mine or his. Just continue to keep playing good, team defense and his shot and his game will come around offensively."
Wade said he is a "rhythm player" and added, "I take a lot of shots," when explaining the transition he is going through. Wade is averaging just 8.3 attempts per game for the Cavs, about half of the 15.9 attempts he took for the Bulls last season.
"It's just trying to find that rhythm, trying to find where it will come from, when it will come from. It comes with time," Wade said. "I haven't forced it. [Saturday] I had some opportunities where I had the ball, I passed it, got a few assists. The shots that I shot was shots that I [normally shoot], I just missed them.
I didn't feel like I forced them. I feel like they were good shots, just two out of eight of them went in. Like I said, everyone, we're all just still trying to figure it out. Sometimes you press a little bit, you want every shot to be perfect. And that's just not the game of basketball.
There will be times when you hit 8 out of 10. And you don't go 2-for-8."
Wade wasn't the only player who struggled against the Magic. Orlando made more 3s in the first quarter (8-for-13) than Cleveland made for the game (7-for-25) and the Cavs shot just 38.4 percent as a team overall.
They allowed the Magic to open up a 36-18 lead after the first quarter and after fighting to get the deficit back down to seven in the third quarter, were done in by a 14-0 Orlando run to break the game open again.
"Listen, we're not the team that we want to be," James said. "We played two really good games against Boston, against Milwaukee, but we're going to have some games like this early on as we continue to try to figure out our lineups, figure out our rotations and then with D-Rose going down, so that kind of [made us have to] switch our rotation again while we're still trying to figure it out."
The loss snapped the Cavs' 17-game winning streak against the Magic dating back to February 2013. It was Cleveland's longest win streak against a single opponent in franchise history.
Orlando coach Frank Vogel had little interest in discussing the streak before tipoff.
"It has nothing to do with this year's team, in my mind," Vogel said. "I didn't even know that was the case. And that's a nonfactor to me. We're here to win tonight. We know we have a chance to win tonight and that's all we're focused on. What happened five years ago is completely irrelevant."
After the win, Vogel remained even keeled.
"They were far from their best and we understand that. We need to keep that in perspective," he said. "The Cavs were not at their best tonight, and we capitalized."
Lue acknowledged that his team has had a tendency to overlook opponents over the years, with the Orlando loss being the latest example.
"I thought coming off a big win [Friday] night and coming back home to validate it, I didn't think we did a good job with that," Lue said. "As far as letting our guards down, I just thought they outplayed us. They kicked our butt.

Fans of food on TV first came to know Anne Burrell as the spiky-haired assistant to Mario Batali on "Iron Chef America." Starting in 2005, she and Batali competed in close to 30 challenges, rocketing Burrell from sous chef to Food Network host.
While she's a regular at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, this year she's co-hosting a first-time event called Medianoches & Mixology on Feb. 21. It will take place at Miami's Wynwood Walls and feature riffs on the medianoche sandwich from chefs selected by Sef Gonzalez, whose popular Burger Beast blog explores comfort food in South Florida. A medianoche and a Cuban sandwich are close cousins. Both are made with roast pork, ham, mustard, Swiss cheese and pickles. But the medianoche gets a soft eggy roll instead of a crunchier Cuban roll.
Burrell will be joined by producer and musician Emilio Estefan. On Feb. 23, she'll give a cooking demonstration at the Whole Foods Market Grand Tasting Village.
By phone from her home in New York City, Burrell says nothing makes her happier than Miami Beach in February.
Q: I've seen you at festivals in the past and you always seem to be having a very good time.
A: I'm a pretty happy person. I like to have a good time. I like the camaraderie of being with all of the other chefs. I really do have a great time seeing everyone. It's like spring break for chefs. Most people are from out of town. Everyone's just a little looser and everyone's happy to be in the sun.
Q: Are there certain Miami restaurants you always try to visit?
A: I haven't started to look around at what's new this year. But we always have Michael's Genuine and MC Kitchen. I try and swing by Yard Bird for a piece of fried chicken. We'll see. I want to start doing my research to see.
Q: The fifth season of "Worst Cooks in America" is now running. Is there one characteristic that all bad cooks possess?
A: Common sense is not common sense unless you've learned it first. Cooking is just like everything else. Always, always, always on "Worst Cooks," when people start to take the lessons we teach them, they always get better.
Q: Do you miss working in a restaurant full-time?
A: There are some parts about working in a restaurant that I miss. I really do enjoy the energy of a restaurant kitchen, and the camaraderie of working in a restaurant and the customers. There's so much I miss about it. But then I see people and it's Thanksgiving and they're going to work. I don't miss that so much.
Q: Do you look at the careers of other chefs and think you'd like the same things?
A: I always think it's dangerous to do that. The grass is always greener somewhere else. I think I'm pretty lucky. It's not hard to look over and say I'm a little envious of that. But as rule I try not to do that.
Q: There was just a story in the New York Times about how women chefs are finally getting their due. Has being a women made being a chef more challenging?
A: When I was in culinary school, there were only 10 percent women students at the [Culinary Institute of America]. That ratio has changed a lot, but still as professionals in restaurants, there still are not that many girls. When people say to me, how does it feel to be a girl chef, it feels pretty normal to me because I don't know how to be a boy chef.
Q: What do you like to do when you're not working?
A: I do karaoke all the time.
Q: How often?
A: It depends. If I had time, I definitely would go twice a month.
Q: What do you sing?
A: I always start off with "Country Roads" by John Denver. I always do private room karaoke. It's for selfish reasons. That way, I don't have to wait for other people. If I have a room, I can sing all night. I can have the mike all night long.
Q: If you weren't a chef, what would you be?
A: A therapist. If you think about how much emotional stuff is wrapped up in food and how it affects people, it's about your family, your self-image, your emotions. There's a lot that's wrapped up in food.

Kayla Itsines Fitness Program
have lost your weight and changed your body. I read reviews and they are all great so I decided to do it as well and I bought a bikini body in 12 weeks and also how to eat there is another book and I started this week and as far I can tell you I feel great. It is great to do it, because you have goal and it
is easier to follow something when you have a goal. Good thing for me is that I didn't have to get myself a bit in shape before I started with a programme, because before the programme I actually did exercises and I went running every week, but if you didn't do sport before you should give yourself at least one week or two to get in a shape.
this programme it is not only for women who want to lose weight, but for women who want to stay or be in shape and get a bit of muscles and wanting the body to look better. Who is fit and lives healthy life lives happier and longer. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and hope you guys are also going to this fun programme and feel so great.

Shape-changing interfaces: a review of the design space and open research questionsMajken K. Rasmussen, Esben W. Pedersen, Marianne G. Petersen, Kasper Hornbæk
Shape change is increasingly used in physical user interfaces, both as input and output. Yet, the progress made and the key research questions for shape-changing interfaces are rarely analyzed systematically. We review a sample of existing work on shape-changing interfaces to address these shortcomings. We identify eight types of shape that are transformed in various ways to serve both functional and hedonic design purposes. Interaction with shape-changing interfaces is simple and rarely merges input and output.

It was an Egg-stra special first day back to school recently for the children at the PACE Centre.
A Local Health & Fitness Business had put together a special surprise for everyone at the welcome back assembly after the Easter Break.
Benson James Wellness Services has a large client base that benefit from personal training, weight loss programs, exercise classes and beauty treatments.
As an attempt to limit their calories this Easter, clients were encouraged to sacrifice their Easter eggs for a good cause and donate them to the Children and Staff at The PACE Centre.
Company owner Benson James said: "We are really proud to have PACE as our chosen charity and have been actively fundraising for over a year now. The work they do to support the Children and Families that are effected by Cerebral Palsy is outstanding.
"Therefore it made sense to keep our clients from overindulging this Easter and put smiles on the kids faces at the same time as rewarding the staff. Our TeamBensonJames clients really pulled this one off."
Over 100 eggs and a selection of large cuddly toys were donated in total, meaning every child and staff member got a treat.
There were even extra to take home to family.

• US risks tepid recovery turning into recession, IMF warns
• France unveils raft of tax rises to plug revenue shortfall
• Angela Merkel and Mario Monti to meet in Rome
• Greece prepares for talks with 'troika'
• Germany's services sector unexpectedly stagnates
17.53 With that, Debt Crisis Live is signing off until tomorrow, when we have a meeting of the European Central Bank and the announcement of the winner of the Wolfson Economics Prize. The prize was launched last October by Next chief executive, Lord Wolfson, to find a credible plan for a euro exit.
If you want to keep updated on events until then, check out our financial crisis page.
17.45 Equities have finished pretty flat this afternoon. The FTSE 100 is down 0.06pc at 5684; the CAC is down 0.1pc to 3267 and the DAX is down 0.2pc to 6564.
17.21 Greek politicians have hit back at David Cameron's remarks that Britain could stem migration from the eurozone.
Earlier this week, the prime minister said: "The legal position is that if there are extraordinary stresses and strains it is possible to take action to restrict migratory flows, but obviously we hope that doesn't happen."
Responding to that, Greece's Pasok party said in a statement:
Is the UK, which is not a member of the euro zone, so interested in the unity and stability of the euro zone that it is threatening policing measures which violate all principles, basic freedoms and rules of the European Union?
It would be preferable if the British prime minister, rather than making remarks that are insulting or create a false sense of nervousness in the markets, elaborated on the information regarding the manipulation of the Libor interest rate and took better care of the fiscal figures of his country.
17.15 According to rating agency Standard & Poor, the eurozone's debt crisis may have reached a turning point if agreements from last week's summit are implemented correctly. Measures agreed by leaders included using joint funds to support Spain's banks, removing a clause that which gave the bloc's bailout fund priority over other bond holders and giving the ECB new supervision powers.
The agency said:
The tide may be turning for euro zone sovereigns following the June 29 summit. These agreements could help to stabilise the eurozone and staunch any further weakening of sovereign creditworthiness
But because S&P said it saw a substantial risk that the agreements may not be put into practice, it left its eurozone ratings unchanged and warned it further cuts could be on the cards if promises were not followed through.
16.50 As the press conference finishes, some more breaking news on Germany and Italy, where it's a tale of two deficits.
Germany has halved its public deficit forecast this year, while Italy's has almost doubled. In a statement, the German finance ministry said:
Thanks to the favourable overall economic development, and the good situation on the labour market in particular, the estimate for this year's deficit has improved from 1pc to a good half-percent.
Meanwhile, Mr Monti told reporters that "Italy will have a deficit of around 2pc this year," far higher than the previous estimate of 1.3pc.
16.39 Mr Monti says that youth unemployment, at 36.2pc in Italy, is unacceptable.
16.35 The EU summit wasn't just about implementing growth measures and buying the bonds of distressed countries, however. Angela Merkel whips out that age old mantra: only competitiveness guarantees employment growth.
In other words, countries must slash wages/unit labour costs if they want to grow...
Mario Monti (right) greets Angela Merkel in Rome on Wednesday (Photo: AFP).
16.25 Mr Monti says that Italy does not need help to finance its debt, and adds that the country should not be put in the same box as Portugal and Greece. He says:
We needed to avoid that high levels of government spreads may prevent some countries from pressing ahead with economic policies in a resolute way [...] This is why we asked for those measures and why we don't ask for direct support.
16.20 Angela Merkel praises Mr Monti's efforts, and says he has taken important steps in Italy, she adds that strong EU economies are important for German stability.
16.19 He adds that Europe's leaders are happy with the outcome of the EU summit last week. He adds (translation courtesy of Bloomberg):
Italy and Germany are countries that are more willing to move to more shared sovereignty at the European level [...]That means that we have political and economic instruments that are more efficient.
16.09 Mr Monti says that Italy's spending review will try to avoid a tax on consumption - i.e. no VAT hikes.
16.03 The Monti/Merkel press conference in Rome has begun. If you understand Italian, you can watch it live here.
15.45 Here's what Pierre Moscovici, France's finance minister, had to say about the €7.2bn package of tax rises (see 12.08) aimed at meeting France's deficit reduction goals:
We face an extremely difficult financial and economic situation. The wealthiest households, the big companies, will be asked to contribute. In 2012 and 2013, the effort will be particularly large
The largest new levy will be a one-time surcharge on wealthy individuals' assets to raise €2.3bn. Another €898 will be reaped by ending a payroll-tax holiday. Other steps include surcharges for oil and financial companies, each raising an additional €550m, and a levy on dividends and stock options.
15.34 Perhaps unsurprisingly, the economic mood in Greece is not a happy one. Sentiment has fallen to a seven-month low, with manufacturing and construction worst hit. Reuters reports that the Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research found that three in five expect their economic situation to worsen in the next 12 months. The think tank said its index - based on consumer confidence gauges and indexes for business expectations in manufacturing, construction, retail and services - fell to 74.1 points in June from 76 points in May.
14.57 As if Greece's deputy finance minister didn't have enough to put up with. Police sources have told AFP that the office of poor Christos Staikouras was broken into several days ago, and the burglars made off his passport and other documents. The break-in happened at the general accounting office and comes as the country is preparing for a crucial audit by EU and IMF creditors.
14.29 As Angela Merkel prepares to meet Mario Monti, Spiegel Online says it will be a difficult meeting for the German chancellor. Here's a snippet from their longer analysis:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel travels to Rome Wednesday to meet Prime Minister Mario Monti, just days after the Italian leader got the upper hand over her at the EU summit in Brussels. It won't be an easy trip, given Italy's new self-confidence and its political alliance with Paris and Madrid. The chancellor will have to define a new role for herself in European politics.
14.09 Reuters has a tale that Spain is putting the finishing touches to a package of spending cuts and tax rises worth up to €30bn. The move would help the country meet its tough deficit targets for this year.
Running over several years, the programme could involve raising Spain's main consumer tax, a new energy levy, reforms to the pension system, pay cuts for civil servants, new motorway tolls and another drastic reduction in ministry and regional spending, the sources told Reuters.
Some measures may be announced next week, when the EU is likely to grant the government an extra year to cut its deficit below 3pc of output, and others could be presented over the summer and included in a multi-year budget plan due to be prepared in August.
13.28 There are suggestions today that eurozone finance ministers might meet on July 20 to finalise a rescue of Spain's banks. Sources told AFP that there was a "strong possibility" that the ministers - known as the Eurogroup, will meet on July 20 as "the auditing of four banks isn't finished in Spain"..
Spanish officials said they were negotiating with the European Commission on the details of the rescue and hoped to present a figure for the amount needed when the Eurogroup meets on July 9.
However one source told AFP "there are many things on the table for Monday, Greece among them".
13.23 A poll in Germany has highlighted the country's unease about a closer fiscal and political union championed by Angela Merkel.
Just under three quarters of Germans surveyed in the Forsa poll were against the idea of a United States of Europe under which Berlin would cede more sovereignty to EU institutions, while 59pc opposed handing budgetary powers to Brussels.
More than two thirds of those canvassed in the Forsa poll opposed joint euro zone debt liability, or euro bonds.
12.59 It seems the effects of Spain's economic woes are being felt in the art market too. John Constable's 'The Lock' has been auctioned for £22.4m in Spain, with Baroness Carmen "Tita" Thyssen-Bornemisza claiming she decided to put the painting up for auction because her finances were suffering following the Spanish economic crisis. But, the sale has not been without controversy. The Telegraph's Catherine Gee has all the details.
12.48 With all eyes on the ECB interest rate decision due tomorrow, Jim Reid of Deutsche Bank had this to say:
Given the recent rally in credit and equity markets we are building up to the first important test with the ECB policy meeting tomorrow and non-farm payrolls on Friday. The ECB is widely expected to ease its key rate by 25bp tomorrow but we can't help thinking that additional market-friendly action is required from Mr Draghi to sustain this rally. The market is hoping that politicians have done enough to encourage the ECB to lend a hand. We suspect that they won't add additional support for now which may lead to some disappointment.
We then have Friday's payrolls which have a habit of being soft this time of year. If history repeats will is frighten markets or encourage the QE3 speculation? Maybe a slightly disappointing number is the worst case scenario as it may leave markets in limbo. So an interesting end of the week awaits.
12.33 Disappointing data from Ireland. Unemployment in the country - which received an €85bn bailout in 2010 - jumped to 14.9pc in June from 14.7pc in May.
12.24 Still with Cyprus, the newspaper Phileleftheros reported that the cost of bailing out Cyprus' banks could hit €10bn, referring to preliminary estimates by IMF officials visiting the island.
Fitch had last week said the recapitalisation costs of Cypriot banks could be in the region of €6bn, but acknowledged the estimates were subject to uncertainty and were conservative.
12.19 Cyprus has said that it expects negotiations to conclude with the IMF and the EU on its request for emergency financial aid by the end of July. But, the country, which is deeply exposed to Greece, has said it is too early to specify how much it might need.
Finance minister Vassos Shiarly said:
The aim of this process is, within the month, to have prepared a proposal which they would have discussed with us and concluded upon
12.08 Reuters reports that France's new Socialist government has announced a raft of tax rises worth €7.2bn, including heavy one-off levies on wealthy households and big corporations, to plug a revenue shortfall this year from feeble economic growth.
A one-off levy of €2.3bn on those with net wealth of more than €1.3m and €1.1bn in extraordinary taxes on large banks and on energy firms holding oil stocks were central parts of an amended 2012 budget presented to parliament ahead of a vote later in July.
11.52 The euro is under pressure this morning as grim economic data strengthened expectations that the European Central Bank is on the verge of cutting interest rates.
At one point, it slumped to a 11-and-a-half year low against the higher-yielding Swedish crown after Sweden's central bank kept interest rates unchanged and only slightly trimmed its forecasts for future borrowing costs.
Paul Robson, currency strategist at RBS, said:
The market looks primed for a 25 basis point cut by the ECB, but something more like a liquidity injection would be needed to lift the euro
Investors will also want to see if the ECB President (Mario Draghi) will highlight downside risks to growth and inflation, which will set the ground for more easing
11.29 BREAKING .... Spanish High Court has opened a case against former Bankia chairman Rodrigo Rato and 32 top executives, Reuters reports, citing a legal source. Shareholders, who lost most of their money after investing in an initial public offering last year, had started legal claims against the bank.
Bankia was nationalised in May and Rato stepped down as chairman as it became clear the lender could not deal with growing capital shortfall from a 2008 real estate crash.
Bond yields in Europe. Data: Bloomberg
11.21 Spanish and Italian bond yields have crept up around 10 basis points each to 6.27pc and 5.7pc respectively. Still way off the high before the EU Summit agreement but not encouraging.
10.20 One bright spot. European retail sales unexpectedly increased in May. Sales advanced 0.6pc from April, when they slipped 1.4pc, the European Union's statistics office said, as gains from France to Ireland and Portugal helped offset decreasing demand in Germany.
10.01 We mentioned earlier (09.13) that Mario Monti has been on something of a charm offensive ahead of his meeting this afternoon with Mrs Merkel. Here are a few more details of the interview he gave to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The Italian prime minister said:
We need a partial mutualisation of debt, but also more central control of national budgets. Without proper control it would be irresponsible to burden others with a share of your own debt. Germany and Italy take the same line on this and are prepared to surrender national sovereignty.
Mr Monti insisted that Italy "isn't calling for a rescue and isn't calling for eurobonds. Italy is doing everything that is being demanded of it to boost growth."
09.36 In the UK, the service sector has grown at a much weaker than expected pace. The Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the services sector sank to an eight-month low of 51.3 in June, below May's 53.3 and well shy of expectations for a more moderate easing to 52.8.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at data compiler Markit, commented:
The services economy saw one of its worst months since the recovery began three years ago, with the June survey showing signs of growth stalling. The services PMI probably cements the case for further stimulus from the BoE
09.31 Given the underwhelming economic data out of the eurozone this morning, equities are somewhat muted. The FTSE 100 is down 0.2pc to 5675, the CAC is off 0.7pc to 3249 and the DAX is down 0.5pc to 6544.
09.13 Bruno Waterfield also writes that Mario Monti has mounted a charm offensive ahead of his meeting with Angela Merkel in Rome today:
The Italian PM is clearly worried that the German Chancellor will be resentful after losing some vicious summit battles to him last week.
In an interview with FAZ today, he has played down the divisions and defended his veto waving last week as "classic negotiating".
"Angela plus Mario equals a step forward for European economic policy," he said.
But will Chancellor Merkel be impressed?
Perhaps going too far in the creeping department and showing a touch of desperation, Monti pleads that his economic reform agenda actually makes him a kind of honorary German.
"It is not for nothing that I'm personally in Italy often viewed as 'very German'," he insisted.
09.10 On the ECB interest rate note, Bruno Waterfield - the Telegraph's man in Brussels - writes to tell us:
Will ECB cuts its interest rates to a historic low of under one per cent tomorrow?
It's not ruled out. Peter Praet, the ECB's chief economist told FT Deutschland: "There is no doctrine that the interest rate can not be less than 1.0pc"
09.07 With the eurozone's private sector downturn easing only slightly in June - with Markit's composite PMI for the region revised up to 46.4 from a preliminary reading of 46 - expectations are rising for an interest rate cut by the European Central Bank.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at data provider Markit, said:
Even Germany looks to have fallen into a renewed decline, though only a very modest drop in output is signalled. The pace of downturns in other major euro member states is far more worrying
08.58 In a sign that Europe's economic powerhouse is suffering from the ramifications of the eurozone crisis, Germany's services sector unexpectedly stagnated in June.
Markit's services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 49.9 in June from 51.8 in May, just below the 50 level that separates growth from contraction.
The reading was the lowest since September last year, driven by lower levels of new work for the third month running and a sharp fall in business expectations.
08.55 And in France, the contraction in the services sector eased in June. The Markit/CDAF final purchasing manufacturers' index for the services sector jumped to 47.9 in June from 45.1 in May.
But in a sign of muted sentiment, the business expectations reading dropped to 52.5 from 59.5, its biggest monthly decline since the late-2008 global financial crisis and its lowest level in more than three years.
08.51 While in Italy, services activity contracted for the 13th month running. The Markit/ADACI Business Activity Index, covering service companies from hotels to banks, edged up to 43.1 in June from May's 42.8. The fall came as the pace of job losses accelerated.
08.48 Some of this morning's first economic data has dropped.
In Spain, the Purchasing Managers' Index for the services sector, which makes up around 70pc of the country's economy, was 43.4 in June, up from 41.8 in May.
That was better than the 41.5 level forecast by economists, but still a long way from the 50 mark that divides growth from contraction.
08.37 This might not fill Mrs Merkel with confidence as she prepares to meet Mario Monti. According to a report late last night, former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt (pictured below with Margaret Thatcher in 1979) has been talking of a "profound crisis". He apparently said:
After half a century since the beginning of European integration, we find ourselves in a profound crisis in almost all of the European institutions
He argued that Germany has a legal obligation to continue supporting and rescuing Europe under Article 23, paragraph 1 of the German Basic Law, which requires Germany to participate in the development of the European Union:
Either to fight the financial crisis as individual states with dwindling prospects of success, or we return to the concept of progressive European network
08.30 Also on the agenda for today is a meeting between Italian prime minister, Mario Monti, and German chancellor, Angela Merkel, in Rome at 2.30pm. It will be the first time the pair have met since last week's summit.
Their meeting comes as Greece prepares for a visit from officials from the so-called Troika - the European Commission, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank - who will be checking up on the country's progress in implementing its €173bn bailout programme.
Greek prime minister, Antonis Samaras, and finance minister, Yannis Stournaras, will meet with EU and IMF representatives in Athens at lunchtime tomorrow.
08.25 We're expecting data later this morning which should give another indicator of the eurozone's economic health. The region's service sector PMI and retail sales data are due at 9am and 10am respectively.
08.02 Meanwhile, Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the IMF, said yesterday that the ECB should beef up its purchases of peripheral debt rather than cut interest rates. She told CNBC:
We are not sure this is the best channel at the moment. Germany does not need a lowering of interest rates set by the ECB but Italy and Spain do, so you can't dissociate when you use that kind of monetary policy instrument. On the other hand, the (ECB) asset purchase program is much more selective and can be used in a more judicious way.
07.53 David Cameron also said yesterday that Britain could restrict immigration of Greeks and other migrants from eurozone countries affected by Europe's sovereign debt crisis in the event of "extraordinary stresses and strains". He said:
The legal position is that if there are extraordinary stresses and strains it is possible to take action to restrict migratory flows, but obviously we hope that doesn't happen.
I would be prepared to do whatever it takes to keep our country safe, to keep our banking system strong, to keep our economy robust.
07.45 All eyes might be on a certain Mr Diamond today, but the debt crisis blog lives on - and so do the economic woes.
Yesterday, the International Monetary Fund warned that America's politicians risked turning a tepid recovery into a recession next year if they failed to reach agreement on how quickly to cut the US deficit.
Also, France cut its growth forecasts, as the country's PM warned of its own "crushing" national debt mountain. The government now expects the French economy to grow by just 0.3pc this year, compared with previous estimates of 0.7pc.
07.30 Good morning and welcome back to our live coverage of the European debt crisis.

AMA racer Shelina Moreda will be riding the eCRP 1.4 electric race bike at Laguna during round three of the FIM e Power International Championship.
On July 23-24, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will host the third round of the FIM e Power International Championship race during the weekend of the MotoGP championship. The CRP Racing team will have a "special guest", Shelina Moreda, on the eCRP 1.4 electric motorcycle.
Racing fans continue to be amazed by the electric races and eCRP's strategy of "no boundaries" has led them to a young American girl from California with a strong passion for motors and two wheels. Shelina will join Alessandro Brannetti, the professional racer who attained the title of vice world champion with eCRP's Italian electric racing motorbike in 2010.
The race at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will be a real challenge and there will be no time for chivalry. All the riders aspire to compete at their best, get the victory, and be on the podium: an exciting show is assured.
Brannetti says:"When I was asked in 2010 to become the official rider of eCRP, I never thought I could compete in America with my colleagues in the MotoGP. Even if it is a different kind of race I like the idea of being at Laguna Seca with CRP Racing. It represents the only Italian team to take part in the race and this makes me very proud. I will do my best to get on the podium."
It is true that CRP Racing will be the only Italian manufacturer to be present in America for the FIM e-Power International Championship, but CRP has found a strong support from fans in the United States. The eCRP 1.4 will be sporting a stars and stripes design on its race livery in honour of the event.
Shelina Moreda states: "I am happy to race an electric motorcycle and I'm looking forward to riding the eCRP 1.4 on track at Laguna Seca." She continued, "Electric motorcycles are the next big thing and have been getting faster and faster in a short amount of time. It will be a different feel for a motorcycle and especially for racing, but that makes it fun."
FIM e Power is a multi-faceted championship which encourages the enjoyment of racing, sharing the passion of the sport and the value of healthy competition.
The participation of a young woman rider in this race is a significant and historic change of course in the world of motorcycling. The population of female riders and female racing fans is growing and is already present by a significant portion within the motorcycle market.
Shelina Moreda's story is one of passion for two wheels; a passion that was handed down by her father when they ran the family farm in Petaluma, California.
At the age of 12, Shelina loved to ride dirtbikes. "In my DNA there is adrenaline and a strong desire to race. I have always been a very active girl who liked motors, and the race at Laguna Seca is going to be a great challenge for me. It's a dream come true, racing for the team that currently holds the lead. I could not ask for better." Shelina is currently taking part in the AMA female championships with good results.
The organizers have created a milestone racing event with the aim to promote the sport with no boundaries other than the will to just wear a suit, get on the motorbike and be on the track full of fun and adrenalin.
CRP Racing is an Italian team led by Giampiero Testoni: "The common goal is to promote electric motorbikes and the presence of women riders on track. We are doing our best to give the right visibility to powerful electric vehicles that have their own charm and their soul, just like their internal combustion-powered cousins. "
The presence of Shelina Moreda was supported by the FIM Women in Motorcycling. Mrs. Beaulah Schoeman, the Director of the Commission, stated that "Shelina Moreda's participation in the 2011 FIM e-Power World Championship is clearly the start of a new era for motorcycling and for the FIM. It definitely indicates the FIM commitment to not only including women in motorcycling but also to emphasize its commitment to the development of alternative energies. This is also a concrete example of the FIM 's will to walk the talk of its Strategic Plan."
All this will be exhibited on July 23-24 at the grand venue of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, where the main goal is to celebrate this new sport without borders and the future on two wheels: the riders of a new era.

Can anyone tell me specifically what the type of wood is that was used on the
interior of the PDQ36's? I need to make a few interior pieces and I want them to
match the look and feel of the boat. Ours is a 1994 model if it makes a
difference. Thanks

text: Yemenis will be soon voting for a successor to President Ali Abdullah Saleh in an election with Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi as the only candidate. On the eve of Tuesday's polling, violence flared in the south, where separatists seek a divorce from the north with which they fought a civil war in 1994 after formal political union. Officials warned attacks to disrupt polling were all but certain. An explosion rocked a polling station in the southern city of Aden on Monday. One soldier was killed and another injured as gunfire broke out after the blast, an official told Reuters news agency. Witnesses said government troops and armed separatists exchanged fire in the Mansoura neighbourhood of Aden, a stronghold of the Southern Movement, which has called on its supporters to boycott the election. The vote has also been denounced by youth activists who took to the streets to demand the end of Saleh's 33-year rule, and regard the transfer plan as a pact among an elite they regard as partners to the crimes of Saleh's tenure, including the killings of protesters in the uprising against him. A security official said police had carried out "arrest raids on armed hardliners" from the Southern Movement trying "by force to prevent citizens from participating in the elections." "These elements are trying to create a state of fear among citizens by spreading rumours that February 21 [election day] will see acts of violence," the official told the AFP news agency. Increasing attacks Attacks against electoral offices and polling stations have increased in recent days. On Sunday night, a rocket-propelled grenade was fired at an election base in the Khour Maksar neighbourhood of Aden, a security official told AFP, adding that there were no casualties. Three soldiers were also wounded in a clash with southern separatists near a polling booth in the southern Lahij province in the same day. The vote would make Saleh, now in the United States for further treatment of burns suffered in a June assassination attempt, the fourth Arab autocrat to leave office in a year after revolts in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. "The election is a political scenario mapped out in the GCC initiative but in its essence it is irrelevant to the true ideals of democracy." Rana Jarhoum, a development worker It leaves unresolved a military standoff between Saleh's relatives, a mutinous general and gunmen loyal to tribal notables. There is an armed revolt in the north of the country and Islamists accused of links to al-Qaeda have made advances in the south."The election is a political scenario mapped out in the GCC initiative but in its essence it is irrelevant to the true ideals of democracy," Rana Jarhoum, 29, a development worker, said. Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a 66-year-old career soldier, was Saleh's vice-president since 1994. In practice he replaced Saleh last June when the 69-year-old president was wounded in the assassination attempt and had to spend more than three months receiving treatment in Saudi Arabia. Abdullah al-Faqih, a Sanaa-based analyst, said the biggest challenge for Hadi will be to take control of the country's security forces, which remain under the control of Saleh's sons and nephews. "People are worried about the rule of the military and security institutions in the future," al-Faqih told Al Jazeera. "They watch closely what happened in Egypt and they are afraid that Hadi will be ruled by the military and not rule the military ... The first challenge is to rebuild the military or at least to remove the leaders so that he can really exercise power in the country." Transition deal Tuesday's vote is the result of a power-transition deal brokered by Yemen's Gulf neighbours in November after months of protests calling for Saleh's removal. The Gulf-brokered deal gave Saleh and his closest aides immunity from prosecution and made him honorary president. It also stipulated that Hadi become the next president of Yemen for an interim two-year period. Nobel peace laureate Tawakkul Karman, an active figure in the uprising, has put her backing behind Hadi, whose image has gone up across the Yemeni capital Sanaa, and said his election would be "the fruit of the popular youth uprising." US President Barack Obama on Sunday also voiced support for Hadi. The one-year uprising has brought much of Yemen to the brink of a major crisis, as analysts fear a civil war if the political situation is not resolved. The country faces rebellions in both the north and the south, with an al-Qaeda offshoot also responsible for recent attacks in the country. "If the new government fails to fulfil its obligations to reach out and re-integrate the southerners, the Houthis (northerners) and the youth ... then conflict will be inevitable," political analyst Abdulghani al-Iryani told the Reuters.

Saigon, last Thursday 3:00am, it was pouring. I'd never seen rain like it. I wasn't sure if my plane could even leave the ground. But, in spite of the building typhoon, a flood of scooters were splashing their way between cars as my driver weaved his way to the airport. 28 hrs later I fell through the doorway, I was home.
Only one more trip to the chiropractor and I will have recovered the full rotation in my neck. I've just about shaken off the jet lag, I'm back.
Here are just a few photos from the trip.

The past couple days have been slightly frustrating in the jewelry-making department. Some new resin I tried did not cure properly, and many of the pieces that I just made, I will now have to throw away. That is very discouraging, to say the least.
But Adam is keeping my head in the right place. When I try to make "mountains out of molehills", as he likes to say, Adam brings me back to reality–it doesn't mean it is all for not. It is a learning curve. I am challenging myself by working with materials I have little experience with, and it is better I find out my pieces are faulty now, than after I sell them to a valued customer.
So, I am starting a new batch (with the jewelry-grade resin I know works), and I am learning from my mistakes. Hopefully it won't set me back too far!
Have you ever felt discouraged to the point of almost giving up? What made you want to keep going?

So you think that this is civilisation?
Asymmetric-wealth and pauperisation,
the amoral descent to rank inequality,
the poor disowned amid banking folly?
Is it right that vast wealth can flourish
while poverty blights lives of courage?
And while virulent wealth opens doors
poverty knocks, and the world ignores?
Playing their game, within societal rules,
hegemony casts down its toy for fools,
the bittersweet freedom to be yourself
within abject poverty or obscene wealth.
