Devastating New Poll Shows Almost Everyone Is Unhappy Under Trump

By and large, Americans are dumping Donald Trump’s policies. Within the first seven months of his second term, Trump has managed to add trillions to the deficit, eviscerate agencies like the Education Department, rattle the economy, shake America’s strongest alliances, develop concentration camps for his sweeping deportation program, and strip popular social programs such as Medicaid from millions of Americans. But despite following through on his campaign promises, Trump has failed to earn majority support for any major issue, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research published Thursday. Approximately half of U.S. adults—49 percent—believe that Trump’s policies have “done more to hurt” them than help them since he returned to the White House, according to the survey. Twenty-two percent of that group reported that Trump’s policies have not made...

For those involved in the nuts and bolts of industry, whether that's the bustling oil refineries down in the Niger Delta or the humming manufacturing plants scattered across Lagos and Kano, the name of the game is often uptime. Unplanned downtime, as any seasoned engineer will tell you, is a costly beast, leading to lost production, wasted resources, and a fair amount of furrowed brows. Traditional maintenance strategies, from reactive fixes to scheduled overhauls, have served us well enough, but in this increasingly interconnected and data-rich world, a more intelligent approach is not just desirable, it's becoming essential. Enter the digital twin, a technology that's rapidly evolving from a futuristic concept to a practical cornerstone of modern predictive maintenance. Think of a digital twin as a living, breathing virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or...
