Printing homes: How 3D-printed houses could change the world
Posted on July 23, 2018 ·
Very interesting!
With these advances in technology and the advent of 3D printing, it has now become possible to print a building – a development that’s caused a stir in the construction business for various reasons, including potential disruptions in multiple global supply chains.
Known in the trade as “additive manufacturing”, 3D printing was first developed in the 1980s. Due to more sophisticated types of printers, we can now print things like houses, clothes and spare parts for planes. Artificial limbs and internal organs are also among the latest list of uses for 3D printing.

Trump is going to destroy the American economy.
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/19/trump-says-hes-ready-to-put-tariffs-on-all-505-billion-of-chinese-.html
President Donald Trump has indicated that he is willing to slap tariffs on every Chinese good imported to the U.S. should the need arise.
The reference is to the dollar amount of Chinese imports the U.S. accepted in 2017 – $505.5 billion to be exact, compared to the $129.9 billion the U.S. exported to China, according to Census Bureau data.
Trump’s comments point to a willingness to push the envelope as far as the U.S. needs to get Chinese tariff concessions, along with a pledge to stop stealing American technology.

Amazing story!
The Empowering Story Behind This Picture of a Nurse’s Employee Badges
As a teenager, Faye started working at KFC to help out her parents. While in college, she became pregnant shortly after she found out she wasn’t admitted to nursing school. At that point, she thought it was best to move closer to home. “My family really supported me and helped me make it possible,” she said. “When I had him, it gave me even more strength to pursue my dreams so he can do the same.”
After giving birth to her son AJ, Faye enrolled in her local community college and continued working at KFC, eventually becoming a manager. Then things began looking up. Faye landed a job at an assisted living facility and enrolled in a government program, New Step, which helped her complete her nursing assistant training. Amazingly, Faye managed to still maintain her job at KFC while pursuing an associate’s degree in nursing.
Then something tragic happened: Faye’s father, three cousins, and family dog were killed in a house fire. “When I heard the news, I dropped to my knees. My mom made it out alive just by a miracle of God,” she said. Despite the devastating loss, Faye tried to instead focus on her career. In 2016, she finally achieved her bachelor’s degree in nursing. Now, she’s working on her doctorate.
