String Theory by Jesse Janz
The world is unravelling like a spool
of yarn batted by the cat, unravelling
like the sleeve of this sweater, unravelling
like the story we’ve been telling ourselves
to help us sleep at night.
We find ways to gather pieces of the day’s
treachery and wrap a blanket
around the shivering mass. In lieu of anything
feeling helpful, we braid the strands
into a bracelet to keep our hands
from staying idle. We take the string and tie it
around our fingers so we don’t forget
what it feels like
to hold the unravelling world
in our hands.

We were sewn
Into the fabric
Of a fate
Stranger than fiction
And we frayed
At our ends
Again and again
Disillusioned by a phantom
Of greater possibility
We were two threads
Tethered end to end
Caught between
Oceans and islands
Entangled by moments
Of nothing
And everything
-Words from the Fire, Two Threads

Galvanizing is Cost-Effective The true cost of protecting steel work from corrosion has to take into consideration two important elements, the initial cost of protection and the lifetime cost. Hot dip galvanizing is often perceived to be more expensive than it is. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, that such a high performance coating is automatically assumed to be expensive. Secondly, the initial cost of galvanizing relative to paint has changed significantly over recent years. Painting costs have steadily increased whilst galvanizing costs have remained stable. Galvanizers Association commissioned independent consultants, The Steel Protection Consultancy Ltd (SPC), to investigate galvanizing prices and the cost competitiveness of galvanizing. SPC in conjunction with consulting engineers, WS Atkins, designed a typical, 240 tonne, steel-framed building and sent it out to tender. Two corrosion protection systems were specified; (i) hot dip galvanizing and (ii) a good quality, grit blast and three coat paint system of 250µm dry film thickness. Quotations from eight fabricators in different parts of the UK were obtained and averaged. The paint system was found to be 35% more expensive than hot dip galvanizing.
