Commercial insulation is a critical building system designed to regulate temperature, manage energy costs, and ensure occupant comfort and safety within non-residential structures such as offices, warehouses, hospitals, and retail centers. Far exceeding the needs of a typical home, commercial applications demand robust materials and specialized engineering to address larger scale, complex building geometries, and stringent building codes. The primary function is to create a continuous thermal envelope, reducing unwanted heat flow to maintain stable interior conditions regardless of external weather. This directly translates to significant financial savings by lessening the strain on HVAC systems, thereby lowering energy consumption and utility bills.

A diverse range of materials is deployed to meet these challenges, each selected for its specific properties and application method. Common types include fiberglass batts, mineral wool, and spray foam, which is prized for its ability to expand and seal irregular gaps and penetrations. For industrial settings like…

Analysis of the Emerging South America Cell Line Development Market: Key Drivers in Biologics Manufacturing, Research Investment, and Regional Biotechnology Adoption

The South America Cell Line Development Market is poised for substantial growth, driven primarily by increasing investments in the region's nascent biotechnology and biopharmaceutical sectors, particularly in major economies like Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. Cell line development, the process of selecting and culturing stable, high-yielding cells (often CHO cells or human embryonic kidney cells) for the consistent production of complex biological molecules like monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and therapeutic proteins, is a foundational step in biologics manufacturing. The key market driver is the growing commitment by South American governments and private companies to reduce reliance on imported biopharmaceuticals by establishing local production capabilities. This shift is supported by a rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, necessitating a robust local supply chain for advanced therapeutics. Market segmentation reveals that the…

Welcome to our group CAHS Group! A space for us to connect and share with each other. Start by posting your thoughts, sharing media, or creating a poll.

Attendees: Thomas Rusch, Johnny Trestrail, Chris Haines, Harry Curnow, Bob Wareham,  Dot Hosking, Carolyn Haines

Follow-ups from last meeting: 

Johnny - the website has been updated and the newsletters are now sorted under the date of publication.

Dot - She is getting Johnny a debit card and able to sign checks. She also proposed laddering some of the monies in the checking account since it doesn't get any interest.$3000 now for 5-7 months at highest rate available probably around 5.5-9%. Another 3000 for 1 yrs and another one for 2 yrs. That would leave us with $4000 in the account. It was moved by Dot and 2nd by Tom and passed.

Membership: Bob - New in July= 5, and Aug = 3, 290 total. Discussion about Toronto Cornish Association and John Webb was asked to wait until Global Cornish was presented.

Gathering updates: Tom - none.

Bob Wareham let us know that we are gaining members with 3 in January and 6 in

February for a total of 272. We thought that was excellent information. He would like to

know how many hits the events get on Facebook and how to find out. There was a short

Several months ago, my sweetheart, Holly, and I listened to an audiobook of "The Salt Path," by Raynor Winn. It's a memoir about her and her husband, Moth's, walk of the 630-mile South West Coast Path after they lost their home. It was a good 'listen' and a movie of it, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, is due for release May 30, 2025. Holly and I got a small taste of the South West Coast Path during a visit to Cornwall last fall, so the book expanded nicely on our experience. Surely everyone's Cornish ancestors must have spent time walking it, too. I recommend the book and eagerly await the movie. When a trailer makes me laugh and cry, I know the movie is going to be good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ7RJCOm-c8 Is anyone else familiar with The Salt Path book? If so, what did you think of it?
