Coal: Making America Great -- May 10, 2019

Link here.

From the story:

Turkey's imports of coking coal rose in March, underpinned by higher volumes from the US and Canada.

Total imports edged up to 573,405t in March from 541,538t in February, considerably higher than 329,120t a year earlier.

Australia remains the largest supplier, but volumes dipped to 317,254t in March from 358,846t in the previous month.

Voice recognition for transcription still has room for improvement.

Shortly after dropping our car off for some very minor maintenance yesterday, we were telephoned to say the car was ready. I missed the call, but received the voice mail.

As part of my phone service, voice mail is also transcribed.

This is a screenshot of the voice mail I received:

The Book Page

I can't say enough about this book. I checked it out of library to study the waterways of the New York City - New Jersey area. It is an excellent source.

But the telling of this part of the war for independence is absolutely incredible. This would certainly be worthy of a young military officer to read before going to any single service (US Army, Navy, or Air Force) command and staff school. Possibly light reading for one going to senior service school.
