Critical vegetable issue (ran out of spicy chilies and my farmers market still hasn't reopened)

Listening: A Lunch Between Order and Chaos, an avant-garde strings album by a bunch of people. Here's "Unison"

Do you like songs that sound like they go on forever? Do you like songs that make you think of the formal descriptions of impressionist art? Do you like someone who is very good at the violin playing some shit that you would never think to play on the violin? Well I have an album for you.

Watching: Some more Gundam, also, I have to link the Friends at the Table stream vods for Keith and Jack playing Crusader Kings 3.

Obsessed. I think I might understand Crusader Kings now.

Reading: Bah, bad week. Rifling through my short sci-fi story collections but nothing that caught my eye. I need to get something new from my kobo wishlist.

Playing: No dark souls, amazingly! I fell into an Inscryption hole playing Kaycee's mod. It took a while to get back into it but I finally got a full clear. I got an ouroboros and the necessary cards to do an infinite boost on the ouroboros damage, where you sacrifice it over and over. Learning a lot of things about how to play Inscryption that I never picked up in the main game, I deeply undervalued black goats and beehives before.

Making: Spent a LOT of time on the NAS case. Had to babysit the printer over a couple days to get the print through, mostly without incident except for the one time it popped off the plate and crashed the printhead a few hours into a print. Sorted out bed heating and insulation and now it's fine.

That is coming along, doing a lot of reading on painting and also a brief detour into composite skinning because I considered that. Not doing that but there's a local company that makes a heat-resistant PLA that I might use to try and do composite skinning projects.

Designs for the NAS are basically done. I might do a different top cap but for now reusing the same cap on the top and bottom is probably fine. This is false-colour for clarity, it's all black PETG (although the caps might be PLA. I'll see.)

Now it's a matter of printing final parts, sanding, painting, and making sure I have all the fasteners I need for said things.

Tools and Equipment: I have a set of culinary long tweezers that I keep around ostensibly for microscopy shit and I am constantly using them for everything. Grabbing stuff that falls under couches, detaching plastic from printbeds, extending my reach by a few centimeters, yanking on jammed needles in quilting. Really quite useful.

After officially hiking tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports earlier this month, the US government is getting even more serious about keeping China-made autos out of the country. On Monday, the US Commerce Department proposed a new rule that would ban some Chinese- and Russian-made automotive hardware and software from the US, with software restrictions starting as early as 2026.

The Biden administration says the move is needed for national security reasons, given how central technology is to today’s increasingly sophisticated cars. In announcing the proposed ban, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo cited vehicles’ internet-connected cameras, microphones, and GPS equipment. “It doesn't take much imagination to understand how a foreign adversary with access to this information could pose a serious risk to both our national security and the privacy of US citizens,” she said.

The US government’s move comes as China has dramatically increased the number of affordable vehicles, and especially electric ones, it makes and sells overseas. Chinese auto exports grew by more than 30 percent in just the first half of this year, setting off alarm bells in Europe and the US, where officials worry inexpensively made Chinese vehicles could overwhelm domestic industry. The US and Europe had moved to make it harder and more expensive for China to sell its autos in those regions, but the Chinese automakers have responded by setting up manufacturing bases in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Mexico—all of which might one day provide a loophole to allow more Chinese-designed and engineered vehicles into new Western markets.

Still, the proposed rule focuses on security rather than competition. Raimondo had previously raised the specter of foreign actors using hijacked connected car technology to cause mayhem on the US public roads. “Imagine if there were thousands or hundreds of thousands of Chinese connected vehicles on American roads that could be immediately and simultaneously disabled by somebody in Beijing,” she said in February.

That situation isn’t quite realistic, given how few Chinese and Russian firms supply automotive software or hardware in the US right now. A proposed software and hardware ban is more preemptive than a response to any immediate security risk, says Steve Man, the global head of auto research at Bloomberg Intelligence, a research and advisory firm. “PRC and Russian automakers do not currently play a significant role in the US auto market, and US drivers right now are safe,” a senior Biden administration official told WIRED.

Because the rule would apply to any connected vehicle, not just electric ones, it would create even stronger prohibitions against Chinese-made auto tech. "If the 100 percent tariffs on made-in-China EVs were a wall, the proposed ban on connected vehicles would be a death sentence for China EV Inc. aiming to enter the US,” says Lei Xing, the former chief editor at China Auto Review and an independent analyst. Under such a rule, he says, the prospects of seeing Chinese EVs on sale in the US in the coming decade is “nearly zero.”

If finalized, the new rule would only apply to automotive hardware and software able to receive or process radio frequency communications, and software integrated into vehicles’ automated driving systems, the Commerce Department says. It would not apply to autos’ “passive” parts, including fasteners and plastic covers. The rules would begin to take effect in model year 2027 vehicles and be fully implemented by 2030.

The rule will now move to a public comment period, and the Commerce Department would likely finalize it before President Joe Biden leaves office in early 2025.

The US auto industry seems to believe the rules are a step in the right direction. In a statement, John Bozzella, the president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation trade group, called the government's process of developing the proposed rules “thoughtful.” While their lead time would allow some auto manufacturers to find new software and hardware suppliers, he said, “the required transition but may be too short for others.”

​​Chinese tech and auto companies—including Huawei, Tencent, Baidu, BYD, and Geely—have invested heavily in developing their own software and hardware for self-driving cars. But so far these products are almost all used on cars sold in the Chinese markets.

The US government has used similar logic to push back against the incursion of other Chinese technology in the US. In 2022, it banned the approval of some equipment from the Chinese telecommunications firms Huawei and ZTE, also citing national security concerns. This spring, President Joe Biden signed a law that would force TikTok’s parent company, the Chinese firm ByteDance, to divest from the social media app or face a ban. TikTok has challenged the law in court.

The US government’s proposed ban on Chinese connected vehicle software is similar, says Man, the auto analyst. “This is a TikTok move,” he says.

Step-by-Step Guide to Swing Toys Testing Procedures

Swing toys are a timeless favorite among children, offering joy, exercise, and outdoor fun. However, safety must always come first. Ensuring that swing toys meet rigorous safety and quality standards is crucial for manufacturers, retailers, and playground operators alike. This is where swing toys testing plays an indispensable role.

If you’re a manufacturer, importer, or quality assurance professional, understanding the step-by-step procedures involved in swing toys testing will help you ensure product safety, regulatory compliance, and market readiness.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the essential stages of swing toys testing, from sample preparation to certification.

Why Is Swing Toys Testing Necessary?

Swing toys endure dynamic loads and environmental challenges while children play, making them prone to potential risks such as mechanical failure, entrapment, and exposure to hazardous substances. Testing confirms the product’s ability to withstand these stresses while protecting children’s safety.

Testing also ensures compliance with important global and regional standards such as ASTM F1148, EN 1176, ISO 8124, IS 9873, and others, which are mandatory for legal sale in many countries.

Step 1: Sample Preparation and Submission

Before testing begins, manufacturers must prepare and submit representative samples of the swing toy to the testing lab. Here are the key aspects:

Sample Selection: Choose samples that represent the final production product, including all components such as seats, chains, frames, and fasteners.

Documentation: Provide detailed product specifications, assembly instructions, technical drawings, and material details.

Packaging: Ensure samples are packaged to avoid damage during transit but without alterations that could affect testing.

Proper sample preparation ensures the test results accurately reflect the product’s safety and quality.

Step 2: Initial Product Evaluation

Upon receiving samples, the testing lab conducts an initial evaluation to:

Understand the product design and intended use

Identify the relevant safety standards and regulations to apply

Plan the test sequence and methodologies

This evaluation helps customize testing to the product type, target market, and compliance requirements.

Step 3: Mechanical and Structural Testing

Mechanical testing is critical to assess the swing’s ability to handle forces generated during use. This includes:

Static Load Testing: Applying a fixed weight on seats and structural components to verify load-bearing capacity and structural integrity.

Dynamic Load Testing: Simulating real-life swinging motions by applying repetitive loads and impacts to test durability under stress.

Tensile and Torque Testing: Measuring the strength of chains, ropes, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they can handle twisting and pulling forces.

Seam and Joint Strength: Evaluating welds, bolts, and assembly joints for resistance to breaking or loosening.

Stability and Tip-Over Tests: Verifying that the swing frame does not tip or collapse under uneven loads or sudden forces.

Passing these tests ensures the swing toy can safely endure active play without mechanical failure.

Step 4: Material Safety Testing

Swing toys comprise various materials such as metals, plastics, wood, and fabrics. Testing labs analyze these materials to confirm safety:

Chemical Testing: Detecting hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, phthalates, and harmful dyes that pose health risks to children.

Flammability Testing: Assessing how quickly materials ignite and burn to minimize fire hazards.

Corrosion and Weather Resistance: Testing metal parts for resistance to rust and degradation due to moisture and environmental exposure.

UV Resistance: For outdoor swings, testing the durability of plastics and coatings against ultraviolet light degradation.

Material safety tests protect children from toxic exposures and ensure product longevity.

Step 5: Design and Safety Feature Assessment

Testing labs scrutinize the design to eliminate common injury risks:

Entrapment and Pinch Point Testing: Ensuring no gaps or spaces can trap fingers, limbs, hair, or clothing.

Small Parts and Choking Hazards: Verifying that removable parts are large enough to avoid choking risks.

Sharp Edge and Point Evaluation: Checking that no edges or points can cause cuts or abrasions.

Impact Absorption: Measuring how well the swing and its surroundings cushion falls to reduce injury severity.

This stage is crucial for minimizing common playground injuries.

Step 6: Environmental Testing

Because many swings are used outdoors, environmental testing assesses how materials and components hold up under varying conditions:

Temperature Cycling: Exposing samples to extreme heat and cold cycles to evaluate material expansion, contraction, and brittleness.

Moisture and Humidity Testing: Simulating rain and humidity to test corrosion resistance and material degradation.

Abrasion and Wear Testing: Testing surfaces for resistance to scratching, fading, and general wear caused by use and weather.

Environmental testing confirms that swings remain safe and functional over time.

Step 7: Labeling and Documentation Review

Safety standards require proper labeling and documentation to inform users and comply with legal requirements. Labs check:

Warning Labels: Clear age recommendations, weight limits, and safety warnings.

Assembly Instructions: Detailed guidelines for safe installation and maintenance.

Certification Marks: Presence of marks such as CE (Europe), ASTM compliance (USA), or BIS (India).

Accurate labeling helps consumers use swings safely and supports regulatory compliance.

Step 8: Reporting and Certification

Once testing is complete, the lab prepares a detailed test report outlining:

Test procedures and methodologies used

Results of each test, highlighting compliance or failures

Recommendations for improvements if needed

Certification status, confirming if the product meets safety standards

Manufacturers receive official certificates and reports that can be presented to regulatory authorities, retailers, and customers.

Step 9: Retesting (If Necessary)

If the swing toy fails any test, manufacturers must address the issues by modifying design, materials, or manufacturing processes. The revised product is then resubmitted for retesting until it passes all required tests.

This iterative process ensures that only safe, compliant products reach the market.

Step 10: Market Launch and Ongoing Compliance

After certification, manufacturers should:

Maintain production quality to match tested samples

Conduct regular audits and in-house testing to ensure ongoing compliance

Stay updated with changes in standards and regulations to adapt quickly

Ongoing compliance helps sustain product safety and brand reputation in the market.

Conclusion

Understanding the step-by-step procedures involved in swing toys testing equips manufacturers and stakeholders to produce safe, durable, and compliant products. From sample submission through mechanical, material, design, and environmental testing to certification, each phase is crucial for protecting children and meeting regulatory demands.

By partnering with accredited testing labs and adhering to recognized safety standards, manufacturers can confidently launch swing toys that bring joy and peace of mind to families worldwide.

“No use in going.”

June 24th, 2025

Untitled Alaskan Creek, Capital Expressway Flea Market 2017 Lot, Nullbrook Found Media Archive.

Chastised for using the formal “usted,” and conjugating my verbs to her in the third person singular, I cannot rightly refer to Marina as “Mrs. Vasquez,” though it seems impolite to introduce her informally. We are friends, she corrected me once, reaching out with both her hands to grasp one of mine, then to retract one and swat me with it: a gentle but insistent chastisement. I’d seen Marina just once before she would become a fixture in my life, hobbling—as she is inclined toward hobbling—down Royal in the mid-afternoon (probably, I now know, on her way to the Rouse’s Market on the corner of Saint Peter). She was strikingly beautiful, her (I’ve since learned, not infrequently treated) blonde hair held back behind her ears with a headband and coming to a single rounded curl at the very bottom, the ends brushed inward rather than out. That day, she wore a blue and white striped dress, a brown leather belt fastened at the waist in a silver buckle, and pristine, still-white tennis shoes. She wore bright pink lipstick, in a shade and hue I had replicated in my wardrobe nowhere. She had seemed young, vital. 

I recall an awareness of migration within me: my appreciation of her beautify deliberately and conscientiously moving toward action. I meant not only to note her, but to tell her I had. In spite of myself, by the time it had taken me to vault my inhibitions—my reticence in speaking to strangers (even in kindness, even to little old ladies), my fear of coming off somehow as disingenuous—she had long made her way down the street, and to catch up with her again would mean tracking backward: moving away from the house again in the direction I’d just come from. I seem to recall—strangely, but perhaps fatedly—being alone, as I seldom was in the incipient weeks after my move to New Orleans. I seem also to believe I had something in hand ushering me back to the house (possibly a grocery bag, but not un-probably a melting cup of an exorbitantly priced apple sorbet). Whatever it was, I felt the combined circumstances of my first encounter with her had stacked particularly against me, and I’d missed my opportunity to put words to her in the moment they’d come up. I turned away feeling the weight of the unbestowed compliment—pedestrian as it may have seemed—heavy upon my conscious. It seemed vital to me she knew she’d turned my head, and I was sorry not to have managed to say so. 

I found myself excited, if not completely surprised to see her again soon after. Mia, Ellum Mariko, and I had gone out one morning to a patisserie on Ursulines apparently frequented by Nancy when she’d lived in the house I was in the process of settling into, only to find Marina ahead of us in line. Having ordered her brioche royale: the largest, and with the most rum-plump raisins visible between the seams of the rolled pastry; a “skinny latte” from a place which pointedly did not carry 2% milk; and two croissants to go (an almond and a blueberry, packaged in both the larger of the two available brown bags and a white plastic handle bag) she turned from the counter and—at the sight of Ellum—began to coo. She asked her name and age, which Ellum answered with only mild prompting, holding an exuberant THREE out to the woman on the fingers of her hand. She was adorable, she said, and as it turned out, she had a gift for her. Setting her purse on the table closest to the counter, she began to rifle through its contents until she uncovered what she’d been looking for, pulling from its depths a tube of pink Revlon, blunted at the end from use. For your dolls, she specified, leaning down to hand the lipstick to her, seemingly aware it would be a little on the odd side, or else unhygienic, to suggest Ellum use it herself. Ellum, being both three and herself, did, of course, use it anyway, and the next day traveled on the Number 8 bus line to Music Box Village with a mouth like a little highlighter. 

June, eight months later, finds Marina half-public, her tiny body bird-thin and sandwiched between the door and its frame as she stands in the threshold of her apartment building. She tells select passersby (those very few women she sizes up as petite enough to fit into her clothing) that the items in the plastic tub just there on the sidewalk are all free. They are her things, she explains, which she cannot take with her back to Columbia. She is moving at the end of the week. Or is it two weeks? She will provide either figure in turn, equally convinced of the truth of both statements when she speaks them. (It becomes increasingly difficult for her to displace the air, and the body she once occupied unconsciously now predominates among her chief-most concerns. Walking through the world these days is like trying to run chest-deep in water.) She comes downstairs increasingly not to say hello, but to tell me she’s lost her keys; to ask Tam to carry small bags of groceries up for her; to ask me to help her get to the bathroom. Most of the button downs are Jaegar—dry clean only, or hand-wash and lay flat to dry—which she’ll tell you is an English brand, regardless of whether or not you ask. The collared shirts are Brooks Brothers: remnants of her tenure there, when her employee discount dissolved fifty percent of the tag price and the garments were sold to her untaxed. When I see her, she reaches out both her arthritic hands to clasp one of mine between them, telling me she’s still looking for a scarf for me: her parting gift. (That I have two Limoges boxes at home she’s almost certainly forgotten she’s also insisted on giving me as parting gifts, one with the $145— sticker tag still pressed into the bottom of the hand-painted porcelain, is incidental. That I plan to leave them here is similarly unimportant. Ugly and ostensibly expensive, they are in company among Nancy’s pervasive, shelf-cluttering trinkets.) Her hands around mine remind me of the trunk of the Sycamore planted in the schoolyard of Homer Plessy, knotting itself around the iron fence posts lining the sidewalk down Saint Philip. Her fingers are gnarled, burling, and in comparison to my own seem irrefutably, overpoweringly organic. I once wondered aloud if she might take to some craft, perhaps needlework, imagining it might occupy her time and tensions. Jenny rebuked the thought immediately. Have you seen her hands?

Her new accommodations in Columbia will set her daughter Patty back ten thousand dollars a month: this the cost of twenty-four hour medical care, room, board, and planned community: group activities and movie nights. I find it difficult to picture her somewhere as aseptic as where I imagine it is she’s going. What will become of the French memo board hung beside her four post bed? The prayer cards tucked into the crossed ribbon? The dresser beside the threshold leading into her kitchen is lined with bottles of French perfume: gifts from Maurice from Christmases stretching back into the decade before I was born, none of which have been emptied sufficiently to be allowed on a plane. Whispering to me beside the water station, Peter tells me she’s lived in her apartment for twenty-five years: a figure with all the markings of an approximation. She seems to have been there forever: is as much a fixture as the crown molding blurring the line of separation between the wall and ceiling in the parlor below her apartment. When last I stepped foot in her room, she didn’t let me go out again without giving me a blue sweater (an impromptu gift, plucked directly from the top of a clean pile of folded laundry,) a crucifix on a string of pearls, and a folding Japanese clutch to keep it in. Even as evidence of her evacuation begins to crowd the sidewalk, a yellow legal pad note reading FREE in her niece’s handwriting stuffed between coats to keep it from rising in the wind and vanishing down the street, I struggle to conceive of her room truly, fully emptying. I cannot seem to imagine my life without her, cannot imagine hers without me. 

Just the other day, as she was leaving, she turned back toward me after having faced away. Come over here, she said. Let me give you a hug. It had once occurred to me she was the only person who kissed me anymore. For a time, it seemed she was the only person who would indefinitely. I often came apart from her with Revlon Super Lustrous #805 “Candied Rose” high up on my cheekbone; “Coralberry” #674 on my fingertips after timidly rubbing the mark away... Cradling my face in her hands, she looked at me that afternoon with her smile reaching to wrinkle the skin beside her eyes. She moved her left hand off my cheek and through the ends of my newly cut hair. You look younger, she said, the same comment she had made to me about it yesterday. She laughed at the face I made, my perpetual face. What does your boyfriend think? She asked. Then I laughed. That new fact had been told to her in confidence: a brazen admittance when she’d first seen my haircut and sighed, forlornly, saying she only wished I had a boyfriend to admire it. I’d been standing by the window, and turned myself out from the sun to cast a look at her. Maybe I do, I’d said—provocative, sly. Well, maybe I don’t. Either way, it hadn’t been a quip I’d anticipated lasting in her memory. Months of spelling, saying, and having my name repeated to her by others when she became embarrassed to continue asking me for it had failed to cement it in her mind, a fact she disguised by introducing me always as her dear friend. To her repeated questions about whether I was Catholic, I had told her my family had practiced Buddhism: the gentlest but most insistent rebuke I could find without betraying my revulsion at what was not, but seemed (to me) an accusation. It had been—apparently—a response which in no way kept her from giving me prayer cards, rosaries, and once, a hefty, sterling silver crucifix the size of my palm. I’d imagined my proclamation about a possible boyfriend might slip her mind as easily. That it hadn’t amused me, but, in reflection, did not really surprise. How like her it was. And how like me, too. I don’t know, I finally admitted. He’s in Zagreb... She nodded, apparently satisfied with the absence of an answer. I have been there, she said. Croatia? I asked to confirm, a little surprised. Her gaze had drifted up and away from me, drawing to a point high in the air. The question went unanswered, though one of her hands remained, trembling, on my cheek. In another moment, she had pulled her focus back to my face from where it had hovered somewhere, suspended, over my shoulder. You have to show me a picture sometime, she concluded, and let me go. 

The months we’ve known each other have been embroiled with secret arrangements. Her caretaker, Michael, seems perpetually stood at the threshold of the door: he on the sidewalk and in the sunshine and Kristen inside, leaning out, both her feet planted firmly on the mat. She seems always to be in the middle of telling him in her serious, hushed tones, about Marina’s latest attack which he, as usual, was neither present to see or stop. Jenny reaches out to a family friend to get Patty’s phone number, then tells her she’ll report her to the state for neglect unless something changes in Marina’s circumstances soon. Marina is scheduled to travel to Atlanta for a wedding, then to spend a week alongside her daughter and grandchildren for a visit. They send her back, alone, a week early, ensconced in the back seat of a hired car. The panic attacks grow more frequent, and she seems increasingly agitated. Jenny tells Patty if the situation isn’t resolved in another week, she’ll begin paperwork. Arrangements are promptly and somewhat unceremoniously made for her move home. Visiting for the first time without his head bowed in shame, Michael comes to tell us so, and we are continually reassured her two sisters will visit her (though Marina insists she has only one). We are asked not to mention the date of departure to her. She is alone for another week, and three times descends the apartment stairs in tears, having locked herself out, wanting someone to go with her to the bathroom, feeling so terrified of the oncoming summer thunderstorm tears come down her cheeks before the rain even begins to fall. Another call is made. Her niece arrives to stay with her. We see them together once, then see only glimpses of the niece, whose name we were possibly never told. Marina only puts her head in the door to say hello these days; to let me know she’s looking for a scarf for me; to tell me she likes my dress. She is led away by the elbow.

When she learned she’d be (I resist using the phrase “sent off”) departing, she came to me with tears glistening behind her glasses. Holding my hand in both of hers, as was becoming her regular posture when standing with me, she asked me to say a prayer for her. What else was left to do? The ticket had been purchased, the room secured. I knew so; she didn’t. That evening, I fumbled putting my hands together. I’d gathered myself together—always perceiving my personhood not as filling up my body, but as a ball of twine unspooled in the room I occupy—and tried to focus my thoughts. I made a concerted effort to banish my own life’s concerns and attend to hers, as though some narrowing of thought might concentrate the hope I was intending to put forward, and make it—inexplicably—more likely to be granted. I considered the feeling of my hands pressed together, over-washed that day and dry. I thought hard about what to say; thought hard about whether or not to say it aloud, wondering if it were stronger, undistilled, if I thought it instead. And how was I to put words to what I wanted for her? What I was wishing for on her behalf, because she’d entreated me? I knew she wanted me to pray for her to stay, but I couldn’t do so, even faithlessly. As God cut a tributary through her, a similar river ran in me, and could not betray myself by putting words to something only she wanted. I had told her I’d pray for her, yes, because she’d asked me to, but I could not speak or think without sincerity, or without deliberation. I ended up forming some undirected message of goodwill on her behalf. Where I hoped it might travel to, or who or what I imagined might have heard it was imprecise. Indeterminate. I directed my thoughts in her direction, and meditated on the specific ways I wanted her to feel happy, and well taken care of. I hoped she would meet new friends, and see her family often. I found myself thinking that I hoped she would bear the transition with grace. Previous entreaties from her had given me occasion to wonder about the ethics of outsourcing prayers. I seemed to believe, for no decent reason, there was a heightened efficacy in a practicing Catholic saying a prayer on her behalf, rather than I. It seemed the kinship would befit her. I knew (just) one I imagined asking, though never considered truly reaching out to him. Even my badly done atheist’s prayer, said to no one, was put forth with more feeling than a similar prayer might have been by someone who didn’t know her, even, I thought, if they did have a direct relationship with the God they both, ostensibly, believed in. Still, I cannot help but imagine my words and the feeling that fueled them gathering dust in some cosmic jar, or lingering as a flashing red dot on God's great answering machine, unheard, un-listened to: my incredulity marking my prayer as the lowest possible priority in all wish-granting operations. 

And yet, perhaps the business of the prayer was not to pull taut a line between me and God—to draw fiber between us like spider silk—but (more meaningfully, in my opinion) to connect Marina and I. I owe her a debt of gratitude for her own extensions, I know. It had been her, after all, who recognized the change in my face that one terrible Wednesday morning in March: she who had only to glance at me to see through the veneer; to understand something had gone horribly wrong. I’ll remember for the rest of my life the expression on her face when she walked to me, her arms already opening, and the relief welling up my throat when she didn’t ask me any questions. I hadn’t wanted to forget what she’d said, and wrote her words down on a slip of scrap paper. They seem now, when revisited, too simple to have warranted recording, but having arrived at a moment of injury, were to me a tourniquet over a frightening hemorrhage. God is with you, baby. You have angels watching over you. For the first time in my life, I understood what it felt like for those words to mean something substantive, something veritable. I felt my life was collapsing around me. In the dark, infant hours of that morning, I’d stood—hideous—in the shower until the water ran cold. In the back house, the washing machine was already laundering the clothes I’d had on. Later, when it occurred to me I would never wear them again, I threw away both the trousers and blouse, though the latter had belonged to Kyoko, and broke my heart to part with. I washed my hair once, then twice, finding I persisted in feeling insufficiently clean. I realize now I must have been crying that whole time: crying for however long it took me to fall asleep. When I woke up, I resolved to say nothing, but Marina had seen it in me anyway, that sharp change, and offered to me the single thing in the world she had to give. I will say a prayer for you, baby, she'd promised me. And yes, I believed there were angels abounding. I'd had one clutching my hand. 

Whispering from of the corner of his mouth, Peter will tell you he doesn’t believe she’ll last long in Columbia. A few months at most, he says, maybe a year. His mother-in-law, going back to Vietnam after decades in the States, had been that way. The thought is one anyone familiar with hospice care doesn’t need explained to them. We know cognitive decline occurs with more rapidity in hospital rooms for example, even for brief medical forays, and even without firsthand experience, it comes as no surprise that anyone with dementia fares better in familiar surroundings, at the home they’ve known before they began needing to write out the names of new acquaintances on paper. It is a gift these days to die in one’s own bed. A final dignity, and always (always) the culmination of long work done by others on that person’s behalf. 

I once followed Marina up the stairs with my hand held out just behind her back. She took them half a step at a time: putting one foot up on the next stair then joining it with the other, not wanting to be unbalanced for more than the fraction of a second which was absolutely necessary. In the unventilated stairwell, her laborious breathing echoed up into the vaulted ceiling. She’d been dizzy that day. Nauseated. What else could I do but mind her? Be the body behind her if she wavered: steadfast and present, though she didn’t know my name. 

She didn’t need to. It no longer mattered. 

I had prayed she’d be comfortable.

PA6 Grade M28RC Prices Decline in Mumbai Market

Mumbai, June 24, 2025, The price of Polyamide 6 (PA6) Grade M28RC has recorded a soft correction in the Mumbai plastics raw material market. On June 23, the grade was trading at Rs.188/kg, which slipped to Rs.185/kg on June 24—a decline of Rs.3/kg in just one day. Industry sources attribute the dip to weak downstream demand from the automotive and electronics sectors, combined with increased availability of imported material, particularly from East Asia. Additionally, falling international caprolactam prices—a key input in PA6 production—have further weighed on sentiment. Sluggish export orders from OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are also putting pressure on local distributors. Manufacturers in automotive components, electrical enclosures, and industrial machinery are reportedly operating at lower capacity utilization, resulting in reduced demand for engineering plastics like PA6. This cautious procurement approach is also tied to quarter-end inventory management and expectations of possible further price corrections. Applications of PA6 M28RC, Automotive parts (radiator end tanks, air intake manifolds, gear housings), Electrical/electronic housings and switchgear casings Cable ties, fasteners, connectors, and relays, Power tool and household appliance components, Mechanical gears, rollers, and bushings used in industrial machines, Indian Producers SRF Ltd., Bhansali Engineering Polymers Ltd., GAIL India Ltd., Shivalik Polyadd India Pvt.

At Caliber Enterprise, we specialize in delivering high-performance fastening solutions designed for diverse industries and demanding environments. As one of the leading Fasteners Manufacturers in India, we take pride in our commitment to quality, precision, and on-time delivery, offering an unmatched range of industrial fasteners trusted by engineers and manufacturers worldwide.

Fasteners may be small in size, but their role in mechanical and structural integrity is enormous. These essential components are used across virtually every industry—construction, automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, and more. Without fasteners, assembling parts into functioning systems would be nearly impossible. As industries continue to evolve, so does the demand for high-performance fasteners designed for strength, durability, and ease of use.

What Are Fasteners?

Fasteners are hardware devices used to mechanically join two or more objects. Unlike welding or adhesive bonding, fasteners typically allow for disassembly without damaging the components involved. They are used for both permanent and temporary connections depending on the application.

The most commonly used fasteners include:

Bolts – Threaded fasteners used with nuts to form a secure joint. Common in structural and automotive applications.

Nuts – Mated with bolts to clamp parts together.

Screws – Threaded fasteners that can create their own mating thread in materials like wood, metal, or plastic.

Washers – Used with bolts and nuts to distribute load and prevent surface damage or loosening.

Each fastener type is manufactured in a variety of sizes, thread types, materials, and coatings, enabling engineers and builders to choose the right product for specific needs.

Global Presence and Regional Excellence

India has emerged as a global hub for fastener production, offering cost-effective and high-quality solutions. Reputed Fasteners Supplier supplies products not only to local markets but also to demanding international industries such as oil & gas, construction, shipbuilding, and energy.

Meanwhile, the presence of Fasteners manufacturers in Australia highlights the global reach of Indian suppliers, who export vast quantities of nuts, bolts, and screws to industrial markets across the southern hemisphere.

Sourcing Made Simple with Weight Charts and Product Guides

For engineers and procurement managers, calculating weights and selecting the right fasteners can be complex without the proper data. That’s where a nut bolt weight chart in kg pdf becomes essential. These charts help users estimate total shipment weight, understand load-bearing capacity, and ensure the correct fastener is chosen for the application. The availability of downloadable weight charts enhances transparency, simplified logistics, and improves decision-making across industries.

A leading Fasteners Supplier in India will typically offer detailed catalogs, technical specifications, and weight charts for various products like hex bolts, socket screws, flange nuts, and structural washers. Some even provide 3D CAD drawings, torque guides, and installation instructions to support engineers in design and assembly.
