‘Trump Force One,” a quarter-century-old Boeing 757, might not be the largest, or the fastest, or the most expensive private aircraft in the world, but it holds the undeniable virtue of being the most famous. With a pair of powerfully inefficient Rolls-Royce RB211 turbofan engines, the plane was flown by discount airlines after its completion in 1991 (the first in Denmark, the second in Mexico) before it was sold in 1995 to Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder. Allen is said to have selected this particular plane from his personal fleet to ferry about his N.F.L. team, the Seattle Seahawks. In 2011, Donald J. Trump reportedly paid $100 million for the plane and in short order erased whatever traces of Seahawk might have remained: The plane’s face-lift included the installation of a silken master bedroom, as well as 24-karat-gold plating on the bathroom fixtures and seatbelts.

Finally, never – and I mean NEVER – solder a crimp (unless the manufacturer explicitly instructs you to do so). I’ve seen the insanity of this practice at all levels, from undergraduate project labs right up to modern R&D companies. The wire will wick the solder as far up as the wire is above the melting point of the solder, at which point the wicking will abruptly stop. That transition point between the tinned (stiff) and untinned (flexible) wire will concentrate all of the mechanical stress from bending the wire. At least you’ll know where to look for the broken conductor when the system stops working!

"A big thing I tell my clients is the rule of two, Mandie explains.

Inventories consist primarily of raw materials, work in process, finished goods, spare parts and supplies. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined on the weighted average basis and includes all costs in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The cost of work in progress and finished goods includes the purchase costs of raw materials and conversion costs such as direct labor and allocation of fixed and variable production overheads. The purchase costs comprise the purchase price, transport, handling and other costs directly attributable to the acquisition of inventories.
