They have sensors equipped on them so they can detect vibrations. Using vibration detection, you figure out when a bridge is likely to fail and intervene before that happens. This has huge implications. We saw in minnesota the collapse of the bridge there. Recently i10 outside of los angeles. This is a huge problem in the United States. Using connected devices to get realtime information about which bridges, highway structures should be replaced sooner. I pressed the button everyone told me not to press. I press it again.

Host has the president done anything you disagree with . Guest the president has made a major contribution to our state of affairs in america because he is polarized us so much and been so aggressive that people are starting to look at what has happened in our corporate lives over the past 50 years, and their waking up to knew realities. I talk about this crossroad when Abraham Lincoln had to say we can do this anymore. I do havei have to make a decision. When you think about where we are today is a country, we are half and half.

Police also were confronted about their own fears. These two realities collided on september 4, 2005, on the danziger bring and evolved into a decadelong narrative that still has yet to be fully resolved.
