Pest Control Market 2023 | Competitive Insights and Outlook 2030 ... - Kalkine Media

CELINA, Tenn. (July. 20, 2023) A monumental feat of engineering and progress stands tall in the heart of the Cumberland River basin. Dale Hollow Dam and Lake, authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1938 and the River and Harbor Act of 1946, emerged to control the floodwaters of the Obey River and contribute to the reduction of flood levels at municipal, industrial, and agricultural areas along the Cumberland, lower Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers.

Contractors completed the flood control project in 1943 but suspended the construction of the powerhouse during World War II. In July 1946, construction of the powerhouse resumed, and Dale Hollow Dam became the first of nine U.S. Army Corps of Engineers power plant erected within the Cumberland River basin.

Stanley Carter, power plant superintendent, described the planning of Dale Hollow Dam and the subsequent dams as a "holistic" approach to taming the Cumberland River system. "The Corps created each of the dam sites to work in harmony with each other," he explained, pointing out the distinct roles played by non-river run plants like Dale Hollow, Wolf Creek, Center Hill, and J. Percy Priest, which primarily served as storage facilities for flood control. In contrast, the run of the river plants along the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers focused on navigation as their primary mission, with minimal water storage capacity.

From 1948 to 1953, contractors added three Francis power-generating turbine units to the Dale Hollow Dam Power Plant. Each unit can produce 16-18 megawatts of power. Together, the turbines generate up to 54 megawatts of power, enough to supply the needs of a town with approximately 45,000 people.

For the town of Celina, with a population of 1,400, that's enough power to keep the entire town powered in the event of a complete or partial energy loss.

The powerplant does more than generate power. Since hydropower is an immediate source of energy, hydropower turbines work as backup generators. Dale Hollow's turbines stabilize the 69-kilovolt electrical grid system it connects to, providing a reliable and steady electricity source during increased demand or emergencies.

By increasing the voltage on the turbine units, the voltage on the entire electrical grid system receives a boost.

"We're like the Red Roof Inn. We keep the lights on," said Steven Crawford, journeyman electrician.

To keep the lights on, Carter relies on a strong, highly competent, and professional team to maintain the aging equipment. The team includes Office Attendant Amanda Matheny, Senior Electrician Paul Drinkard, Journeyman Electricians Waylon Hackett, Steve Crawford, Stanley Theisen, Senior Mechanic Brian Perry, Journeyman Mechanics Kyle Cross, Josh Marcum, Chris Boone, and Maintenance Workers Jeremy Bilbrey and Elijah Garrett.

Mechanics and electricians must complete a rigorous four-year training program in addition to the education they receive before coming to the Corps.

Carter described the training program as a testament to the field's commitment to safety. "We have a great responsibility to intimately know every aspect of our job and the equipment so we can operate in a safe environment while ensuring the safety of those around us," he said.

The highly skilled maintenance staff work hard to keep the equipment operating at the same efficiency it did 80 years ago but go above and beyond. "They're innovative thinkers who find creative ways to do more with less," said Crawford.

At the power plant, creativity and innovation are on display. Garrett and Bilbrey have spent time applying fresh and updated coats of paint around the plant, giving it that 'new plant' glow. Marcum, a multi-talented individual, inspires a sense of pride and professionalism within the plant through his work. He has created custom light features projecting the 'Essayons' logo and a wood-framed elevator car shaft with the Corps Castle.

Creativity and innovative problem-solving are a theme at Dale Hollow. For 80 years, the generator turbine floor has been without a restroom. Maintenance workers have had to traverse the plant to clean themselves up after a job or utilize the bathroom. Additionally, access to drainage from a toilet was non-existent. Employees found an area on the turbine floor where they could create a washroom and install a toilet that can pump drainage to the existing sewer and assist in pumping the sink drain water to the sewer. When it's finished, employees will be able to use the sink for clean up and direct the wastewater to an appropriate method to be treated.

Carter said how mechanics and electricians recently rehabilitated the drive component of the tail deck crane for a fraction of the cost and now have another skillset. "Dale Hollow has become a reliable source of sustainability and reliability due to the professionalism of these people," said Carter.

Thanks in part to the pioneering efforts of Dale Hollow Dam and the people who keep it running, the Cumberland River Basin has been a steadfast provider of sustainable power to Tennessee and Kentucky for the past 80 years and will continue to provide power well into the future.

A systematic review of the strength of evidence for the most ... - Nature.com

The U.S. Navy will commission its newest Independence-variant littoral combat ship (LCS), the future USS Canberra (LCS 30), during an international commissioning ceremony, at 10:00 a.m. AEST on Saturday, July 22 (8:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, July 21) at the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Base East in Sydney, Australia.

The Honorable Carlos del Toro U.S. Secretary of the Navy, will deliver the commissioning ceremony's principal address. Remarks will also be provided by His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley, AD, DSC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia; the Honourable Richard Marles, MP, Deputy Prime Minister of Australia; the Honorable Caroline Kennedy, U.S. Ambassador to Australia; Adm. Michael Gilday, U.S. Chief of Naval Operations; Vice Adm. Mark Hammond, Royal Australian Chief of Navy; and Mr. Larry Ryder, Vice President of Business Development and External Affairs, Austal USA.The ship's sponsor is Australian Senator, the Honourable Marise Payne, the former Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs who attended the ship's keel laying ceremony at Austal USA's shipyard in Mobile, Alabama, in 2020.

Independence-variant LCS are fast, optimally-manned, mission-tailored, surface combatants that operate both close to shore and in open-ocean environments. LCS integrate with joint, combined, crewed, and unmanned systems to support forward-presence, maritime security, sea control, and deterrence missions around the globe. The USS Canberra's sister ships, USS Jackson (LCS 6), USS Gabrielle Giffords (LCS 10), USS Manchester (LCS 14), and USS Mobile (LCS 26) are all currently on deployment in the Indo-Pacific.

LCS 30 will be the 16th commissioned Independence-variant LCS. It is the second ship named in honor of the city of Canberra, and commemorates the more than 100 years of mateship between the U.S. and Australian allies. The first USS Canberra (CA 70) was named in remembrance of the Australian heavy cruiser HMAS Canberra that sank during the Battle of Savo Island while fighting side-by-side with U.S. naval forces. CA 70 was the first U.S. Navy ship named for a foreign capital.

The first USS Canberra (CA 70) received seven battle stars for her service in World War II. In May 1958, Canberra served as the ceremonial flagship for the selection of the Unknown Serviceman of World War II and Korea. Canberra was decommissioned in a ceremony on Feb. 2, 1970, at the San Francisco Bay Naval Shipyard. One of her propellers is preserved at the Los Angeles Maritime Museum, while the ship's bell is on display at the Australian National Maritime Museum.

Weve all probably heard the phrase captive insurance.

But in case you think its to cover losses if you are taken hostage in a third-world country, captive insurance is actually when a company creates its own insurance company to provide coverage for its own risks. Instead of relying on traditional insurance companies, the company forms its own subsidiary to handle its insurance needs. This allows the company to have more control over its insurance costs, coverage, and claims. The captive insurer can also generate investment income from the premiums it collects. Its like creating an in-house insurance company tailored specifically to the needs of the parent company, providing greater financial flexibility and potential cost savings.

AZ BIG Podcast: Cathleen Walker of PNC talks captive insurance

To explain everything you need to know about captive insurance and how it may boost your bottom line, Az Business sat down with two experts, Cathleen Walker, regional president for Phoenix and Northern Arizona for PNC Bank and one of Az Business former Most Influential Women in Arizona and Anjanette Fowler, managing director of institutional and asset management for PNC Bank.

Az Business: What do business leaders need to know about captive insurance?

Anjanette Fowler: There are some complexities to it and certain considerations to think about before heading down this path. It is a regulated entity. But it is a risk financing tool that organizations from nonprofits to large publicly traded organizations and everything in between can utilize to help manage the cost of their risk, which has become a real challenge.

Cathleen Walker: Weve heard from many clients seeing 25% to 50% increases in their insurance premiums and in some cases not even able to get certain coverages.

AF:We are busier than weve ever been in helping clients connect the dots with how they can find some relief from the insurance premium pressures that theyre experiencing. Ive been helping companies invest the assets that accumulate in these captive structures for more than 25 years and this is probably the busiest Ive ever seen it when it relates to the cost of financing your risk.

AB: How tough is it for a company to set up captive insurance?

AF: I think most organizations might feel a little bit overwhelmed with the thought of starting an organization that is regulated. But its important to understand that these are useful tools and there are guardrails for you in the regulatory environment and its not overly burdensome. Its a very friendly regulator environment. It makes sure that whatever structure you put in place to create and and manage your risk, its done in a prudent fashion.

AB: How is captive insurance managed for a company?

AF:Its very rare that you would have your in-house personnel overseeing these organizations. You typically see it outsourced to specialists who report to stakeholders within the organization. The regulator really is a member of that team. Its not an adversarial type relationship.

CW:Can you talk a little bit more about the process and how you go about forming a captive if you dont have one?

AF: PNC prides itself on being a valued partner to our clients and prospective clients. While were not the lead quarterback of the captive insurance team that you put on the field, were involved and entrenched in the solution. We are knowledgeable as to how to go about fielding that team and making those connections. The player that youre going to draft for your team your quarterback is the captive manager. The responsibility of that organization is to do a cost-benefit analysis to determine the risk tolerance and decide if a captive self-insurance structure is going to pay off for you.

AB: Whos the ideal candidate to go to the captive structure?

AF:Weve seen some big changes in the last few years. COVID was a little bit of gasoline on the fire. When we think about risk management, we had a lot of business interruption, supply chain disruption. Folks thought they had coverage in the traditional commercial market, but found out when they read the fine print, there were lots of exclusions. So, the ideal candidate for captive insurance has changed tremendously. Were seeing smaller and smaller organizations, even nonprofits, being forced to go down this path. There are some rule-of-thumb metrics and other considerations. But if youre paying $1 million or more in annual premiums, captive insurance might be something you want to consider for your organization.

CW:What are some of the things driving the increased interest in captive insurance?

AF: Business interruption. COVID kind of pulled back the curtain on that. Supply chain disruption is another issue. What weve seen transpire, with hurricanes, wildfires, floods. Even if we didnt experience that loss directly, our premiums are impacted. But one of the things that were all seeing on both a personal level and on a business level is cyber risk. Its so huge right now. Its almost unquantifiable. A lot of experts in this space feel like cyber will eventually become much like a terrorism-risk-type coverage, where the government is going to have to come kind of form a backstop there. But thats one thats certainly driving a lot of the consideration. It wouldnt be the only risk you would put into a captive, but its one that we see go into captives a lot just because of the ransomware.

AB: Other than having more control over coverage, what are other benefits of going with captive insurance?

CW:One of the key benefits of captive insurance is youre paying the premium to yourself, so you can invest those assets and you have control over how youre investing those assets through your own investment policy and other risk tolerance applications.

AF: That is one of the great features of captives. It does give you greater control. When youre doing your budget as an organization, you want to be able to project costs. But when you or someone else has some sort of catastrophic event, it impacts your premiums and you see these spikes. Youre never able really to ever be able to effectively project what those costs are going to be. Utilizing a captive structure allows you to smooth those costs out and be able to project and control how those roll through and impact your parent company, and thats a great benefit.

AB: If business leaders want to learn more about captive insurance and how PNC can help them, how do they learn more?

CW: The best thing to do is to reach out via our website pnc.com/iam and we can get them in touch with the right folks within our organization. Its a very complex category of insurance and a lot of education and other resources are available to help walk people through that.
