#ThinkLikeMBA The #Rhino Companies This is the second post of my Vertical Integration series! As businesses scale and consolidate power, they often pursue vertical integration as a strategic move. However, this journey is notably more challenging for startups and SMEs. Particularly in industries like automotive, where component manufacturers can become closely tethered to OEMs, the dynamics of partnership and dependence come into sharp focus. Referring to giants like Apple, Amazon, Google, Tesla, BYD, and Facebook, it's intriguing to observe how these titans embody traits of independence, territoriality, and market dominance. It's akin to the behavior of #rhinoceroses: fiercely territorial, solitary, and occasionally more formidable than a tiger in their aggression. Just like the rhino, these companies carve out their own domains and dictate the landscape. Speaking of rhinos, here's a joke: Why did the rhinoceros decline membership in the animal association? Because it prefers to focus on its own "horn" of business, rather than getting entangled in "horns" trading! After all, it's already the CEO of its own territory – no need to join the herd to assert its dominance! Sharing a cherished moment 📸 captured by myself in my Nikon DSLR: a captivating snapshot of a rhinoceros and her calf at #Doors, #westbengal . Remember, just like a rhino fiercely protects its young, businesses too safeguard their core interests and legacy. #VerticalIntegration

''Does it Suck ?'' Sometimes you've found yourself reading through a brochure , scrolling through a website , or (even worse) sitting infront of a sales person and you still are just asking those all important three words, ''Does it suck? '' The thing is that you get bamboozled with air flow and vacuum numbers, more often than not followed by an asterisk stating this, that and the other and that the numbers quoted don't relate to the machine you're looking to buy, but to a theoretical bla bla bla..... And naturally all the superlatives, be it distance , depth or whatever will be preceded with the obligatory word ''MAX'' and you're none the wiser. At Rivard we think that pictures speak louder than words and in this film taken by our Dutch distributor Tuytel Handel B.V. we see a standard R3 turbine EXVAC doing some long distance sludge cleaning. Big shout out and thanks to Loonbedrijf van Etten with their fleet of EXVACS for their continued confidence in the Rivard EXVAC! So we must be doing something right, after all we have now been making specialist suction vehicles for over 70 years......... Oh, and to answer the original question, the answer is ''Yes, absolutely , it sucks like a leech, like an elephant, like the gravitational pull from a black hole '' *** Get in touch and let us know if you'd like an on-site demo, we're happy to do a live test next to any other suction excavator. *** Please note that these are theoretical illustrative measures , no animals or galaxies were harmed in performing these tests ;) #earthmoving #saugbagger #Zuigtechniek #vacex #vacuumexcavation #vacuumtruck #strassenbau #excavatrice Société RIVARD EXVAC UK Tuytel Handel B.V.RIVARD Dealer D-A-CH S.

"I love my bike. My bike is everything to me. My bike is my gym, my church, and my wheelchair. My bike is everything that I believe in going on in the Biosphere. It’s science, it’s technology, it’s the future, engineering, metallurgy - you name it, it’s right there in my bike. My bike is the most important and valuable thing that I have."—said Bill Walton, who died on Monday. Last week, I discussed the keynote of Horace Dediu, in "Is #Micromobility Love?"

🔙 🏭 Back to work, with #StilmasHistoricalPostcards 📸 For the last issue of this series, this historical photograph takes us back to a mid-20th-century ironing shop, an era of industrialization. At the center of the image, we can see two men engaged in their work, supported by a Mascarini electric boiler for steam production, an essential element for their activities. The electric boiler represents a significant technological advancement of the period, demonstrating how innovation has always played a crucial role in improving efficiency and productivity in the workplace. This snapshot is not only a testament to the past but also a tribute to the ingenuity and dedication of the workers of that time, whose hands have shaped our present.

Exploring the boundaries of innovation: Bob Lazar's 1989 claim of working on extraterrestrial technology near Area 51 challenged our perceptions of advanced propulsion and secrecy in technological development. A thought-provoking moment in the history of science and technology. #Innovation #Technology

The Wheels are turning, The Wheel is turning and to be turning and returning, to be the biggest Invention. The, this Invention by someone, who was really a great Observer, what did sh/he observed what could have this be? Some rolling Stones that came down from the Hill? Or this Bug who was rolling the Sh.. allover to bring it somewhere? Or whatelse could have been rolled? Was sh/he really as this great, and that as great? Was this really as great? Turning Wheels in and in between and everywhere the Wheels are turning! Are they not as in, on a Flag in the Wind? But on and on it shouldn't turn in every Way and every Direction! The Wheel isn't it supposed to turn and always arrive at the same Point again? Again and again! Like Sisiphus did pushed that massive Ballstone up to the Top of the Hill but restarting in doing it, again and again, when arriving at the Hill's Top. This to Infinity was this and we one pushing, thought w/h/e this one, that it was a Punishment but not, nothing at all, it was pushing to get Stronger and Strongest, the very Strongest but with more then only this One, it's for in Life Growing and in Achieving to Superpowers and over everything to be Standing at the Hills Top. We and this One, on the only One existing, with solid Ground having, we are on, at the Rightside! We reached God and in Standing, on this Blueterra Planet Earth, full of Beauty and Wonders and in the best View having, the Overview and as StrongGodMan is getting superior, like Hercules to be! Building above all, an inner Power, inner Strength and Stamina, that endures. Endures all! These and the Endurance isn't from Mind coming, but unified with God and the Heart! Within the Heartspirit's Heart! In that Piloting Cabin to be, with up to 4 Firewheels having turning, there isn't an automatic Pilot, we have to be sitting in there always, like we, all the Superformula Uno Drivers and if we in some Wrong Way have been leaded, we have this, the, this right Grip on our Steering Wheel. We as the Great, greatest Italitian Navigators are having not only 4 Directions and all the Stars to navigate with but we are in 360ty degrees Navigating and to every possible Direction out and in turning, in and all around, in, we are sitting firmly and grounded and with ever bonded Heavens Connection, we do our every Move and beeing on the, this only Right Way! We are the Ones with only one Side and this is the Right and Righteous Side, we have two Right Righteous Hands and no Left Hand left!

The Profidea is a frame that alone encapsulates over 20 years of history. And we're not just talking about Daccordi's history. It's a troubled history for this model: conceived in 1995 for the professional team Glacial Selle Italia, for which the legendary Nelson "Cacaito" Rodriguez competed, already in the second half of the nineties it had to give way to aluminum, which ousted steel for high-end frames. Thus, the Profidea is kept in our collection, but no longer with the prestige of being the flagship product. Over time, however, the "intoxication" with aluminum begins to fade, and, also thanks to the advent of carbon, enthusiasts gradually begin to rediscover steel and its qualities. So classic frames like the New Griffe are increasingly in demand, and at Daccordi, we decide over time to update the Profidea, making it more and more modern, acquiring all the typical characteristics of a frame today: tapered steering, lighter tubing, up to the version for disc brakes. Profidea represents the past and the future of steel.

https://lnkd.in/dAV6AhNh ULTRA HIGH JUMP. USE OF #scienceandtechnology #polymers The spacesuite is a 3 layer structure 1. EVOH Excellent #barrier properties. 2. Silicone Elastomer. Excellent WEATHER RESISTANCE. 3. Polyimide High Strength and light weight. The video demonstrates the unique possibilities only with Polymers. The clear visuals demonstrate meticulous application and teamwork. Today Polyamide-imide has much greater strength than Polyimide Solvay has been the front runner in SPECIALITY POLYMERS* DuPont in Engineering Plastics**. *+**=35% of all Plastics and are PERFORMANCE PLASTICS Thus 65% are Commodity Plastics. PE PP PVC $$$ HIPS ABS General Purpose Grades. Acrylic UN Environment Programme Will agree that the PLASTICS PROBLEM has a lot to do with commodity Plastics, the worst being PVC ($$$) POLYMERS HAVE ENABLED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Topics ------------- WFH REMOTE WORK TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT And many soft issues are DEBATED only due to Polymers Enabled Technology Just imagine the world without Mobile Phones Laptops Google Meet Apps Etc Mobile phones software may differ but the Cover hardware is the Polymer PC/ABS The first to come was known as BAYBLEND from Bayer Next was CYCOLLOY from SABIC Innovative Plastics B.V. We talk of Samsung, RedMi etc but do we talk about Bayblend ! Many in their 20s don't know Bayblend. So many posts on the soft issues as above Why not PC/ABS . PC I am equally comfortable with the soft and hard. I can write a lot and equally about Toxic Work Atmosphere Bayblend. E-Waste: Enjoy the Palladium, Gold, Platinum, Rhodium, Silver etc and dump the VALUABLE Engineering Plastics on the MOTHER. EARTH !!? And without any qualms go about "Plastics Bashing" TO BE SUCCESSFUL U HAVE TO BE THE MASTER OF ALL. I have lots and lots to share to contribute to a better world. Some could be 👁️👁️openers. Unfortunately I am getting constrained for time. Dekha hai Zindagi ko kuchh itna qareeb se......... Everyday I thank God, Albert Einstein and Mahatma Gandhi ji for my being on the planet. How many of you do !!? #gratitude
