How to Find Reliable Chimney Repair Services in Rhode Island
When it comes to finding reliable chimney repair services near you, it's important to do some research and choose an expert you can trust. Here are some simple tips to help you find the best chimney repair company in Rhode Island. The first thing you should look for when hiring a chimney repair company is certification. A certified chimney repair expert has undergone training to safely and effectively fix any issues with your chimney. In Rhode Island, many certified chimney repair professionals are trained by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or similar organizations. Certified experts know how to spot problems that others might miss, and they will always follow safety standards to protect your home. When you're looking for a reliable chimney repair service, one of the best ways to learn about a company is by reading reviews and asking for references. Check websites like Google, Yelp, and Angie's List to see what other customers are saying about the company you're considering. A good chimney repair service will have a lot of positive reviews and happy customers. If you find a company with consistent good reviews, it's a good sign that they provide quality service. You can also ask friends, family, or neighbors for recommendations—they might know a trusted chimney repair expert in your area. Before you commit to one chimney repair service, it's a good idea to get a few estimates from different companies. This gives you a chance to compare prices and see who offers the best deal for your needs. Be careful, though—if one estimate is much lower than the others, it might mean the company is cutting corners or not doing a complete job. On the other hand, if an estimate is way higher, it could be an attempt to overcharge you. Always choose a reliable company with a reasonable price based on the work you need. Experience matters when it comes to chimney repairs. The longer a company has been in business, the more likely they are to have the knowledge and skills needed to fix any chimney problem. Experienced chimney repair companies have likely dealt with many different types of repairs and can handle your situation without any problems. Don't be afraid to ask the company about how long they've been in business and what types of repairs they specialize in. If they've been around for a while and have a lot of experience, you're likely in good hands. Chimney repair can be dangerous work. The last thing you want is for something to go wrong and leave you with expensive repairs or a damaged home. That's why it's important to hire a company that is fully insured. A fully insured chimney repair company will have coverage in case of accidents, so you won't be responsible for the costs if something goes wrong. Before you hire a chimney repair company, ask them if they have insurance, and make sure they can show you proof of coverage. Hiring a local chimney repair company is a smart choice for several reasons. First, local companies are more likely to have a good reputation in your community. They want to maintain their good standing and will work hard to make sure you're happy with their service. Second, local companies can respond to your needs quickly. If there's an emergency or your chimney needs urgent repairs, a local company will be able to get to you faster than a company that's located far away. If you're looking for a local chimney repair expert, check out local chimney repair in Rhode Island. You can easily find reliable, experienced professionals who are close by and ready to help. Once you've found a reliable chimney repair service, it's good to know what to expect during the repair process.

MMRDA to build Dharavi as multi-modal transit hub with metro, rail links
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has been appointed as the nodal agency by the Government of Maharashtra to develop the Dharavi Multi-Modal Transit Hub (MMTH). The state-owned agency has been tasked with conceptualising and developing the MMTH, as per a government resolution dated June 18. MMRDA will coordinate with various transport infrastructure agencies, including National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL), Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL), Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSIA), Central and Western Railways, and Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST), to enable connectivity across rail, metro, air and bus networks. The proposed preliminary scope of the MMTH includes integration with suburban railway stations — Mahim, Sion and Chunabhatti; connection with Metro Lines 2B, 3, 8 and 11; linkages to the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) bullet train station, CSIA and Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA); extension of the BKC Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system to serve BKC and Dharavi; and development of a 24x7 urban hub with retail, hotels, offices, a convention centre, restaurants and cafés. To begin with, MMRDA will initiate the process of appointing a professional agency to carry out the feasibility study and detailed structuring of the MMTH project. 'This multi-modal transit hub is not just a transport integration project — it is a vision for inclusive urban transformation. We are committed to developing a sustainable, future-ready node that connects people, services and opportunities seamlessly. After completing the feasibility study, MMRDA will propose a comprehensive implementation plan to ensure maximum modal integration and urban impact,' Sanjay Mukherjee, metropolitan commissioner, MMRDA, said. Besides, the move comes amid the Dharavi revamp project that is underway through a joint venture between the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) and the Adani Group. The Adani Group holds an 80 per cent stake in the NMDPL, while the remaining 20 per cent is held by the state government (SRA/Dharavi Redevelopment Project — DRP). The master plan of the Rs 95,790-crore DRP proposes to rehabilitate around 72,000 residential and commercial tenants across 47.20 hectares of the total net area, which is 108.99 hectares, and will be implemented in phases.

Factbox-China exempts some US imports from tariffs
(Reuters) -China has granted tariff exemptions on select pharmaceuticals, microchips and aircraft engines from its 125% retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods imposed after President Donald Trump unleashed his tariffs in April. It has created a so-called "whitelist" of U.S.-made products that would be exempted from its tariffs, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters, and some companies have said they have been able to import to China without paying the duties. Below are some companies that have said their imports have been free of China's retaliatory tariffs: HEALTHCARE ** SIEMENS HEALTHINEERS: CEO Bernd Montag said on May 7 that some of the German medical technology group's products, such as the so-called reagents in its diagnostics business, had been exempted from Chinese tariffs. If reagents, substances that cause chemical reactions, were imported with the newly imposed tariffs, their costs would more than double, Montag said in a press call. ** DIASORIN: The Italian diagnostics firm said on May 6 that more often than not, tariffs were not being applied to its goods when they pass customs in China. ** Pharmaceutical companies have reported that they had been able to import some drugs with tariff exemptions, the Beijing-based American Chamber of Commerce said on April 25. SEMICONDUCTORS ** A source at a memory chip design firm said on April 25 that the China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA) had informed it of waivers on imports of eight types of microchips, with analogue chips exempted but not memory chips. AEROSPACE ** SAFRAN: The head of the French engine maker said on April 25 that China had decided to grant exemptions for some aircraft parts, including jet engines. CHEMICALS ** China has waived the tariff on ethane imports, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on April 29.

Trade tensions are giving Intel's older chips a second life
While Donald Trump has for now exempted chips from tariffs, a major hit to Intel could come from China's retaliatory tariffs on US imports, with chips manufactured in the US set to face levies of 85% or higher, based on the state-backed China Semiconductor Industry Association's (CSIA) notice earlier in April.
