"On this day in 2003, the largest anti-war rally took place in Rome, Italy, where a crowd of 3 million gathered to protest against the USA's threat to invade Iraq." - Guinnessworldrecords.com
It's true.
And I also found out this morning, that the world steel production in 2010 is expected to be new record figure. Isn't that good news, considering what the economy has been like for the past couple years now. If you want to see a whole article on that, Metal-Supply.com has a nice little write up. Based on the article, there are a few reasons for the expected increase.
1. Chinese steel production and demand is likely to continue upwards greatly.
2. Indian steel manufacturing will hit an "all time" high this year based on the past year's turnout.
3. Manufacturing activity in many of the industrialized countries is improving, contributing to the rise in steel production this year.
But don't take my word for it, see the article and learn some more. Naturally it's just a prediction, but any thought-out prediction of an upcoming turnaround gives hope to the many shops relying on increasing production rates.

And now... it's time for
Sarah's Super Sweet Part of the Week
After studying the customer’s prints, we used waterjet to cut through .470” thick aluminum. The interesting fact about this part is that it was all solely waterjet cut. The intricate design required the waterjet nozzle to loop and curve around the center in a elaborate pattern. While the use of the part is unknown, the complexity of it’s manufacturing has been solved.
I think this part is just so cool when you think of the intricacy involved. It didn't just take a shot in the dark to get it done. It was well designed, engineered, and ultimately well done!

Well that's all I have for today. Check back in soon again, ya hear?
Have a productive Monday,
Sarah
