Singapore — The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a shortage of face masks in the country, with the Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution having enough for approximately 2 weeks. It is, therefore, calling for donations of the masks to enable it to continue its work.
It is concerned that it may have to cease operations temporarily if it runs out of masks.
The non-profit institution is a “regional centre for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment, scientific research, rehabilitation care, and clinical teaching”.
Singapore currently has 58 cases of confirmed COVID-19. Several clusters of the infection have been identified.
The institution put up notices on its website and Facebook account on Thursday (Feb 13) which read:
CALL FOR DONATION OF SURGICAL FACE MASKS
“The COVID-19 epidemic has caused a shortage of surgical face masks island wide. Our institution too, is facing a severe shortage.
“Currently, our supply of face masks would only last us approximately 2 weeks. In the unfortunate event that our supply runs out, we will have to cease operation until further notice.
“Henceforth, we would like to seek your donation of face masks (new and unused boxes) to tide us over in this period of need. Your kind donation will greatly help our institution to continue serving the public and providing quality TCM treatments.”
The institution is in Toa Payoh and has branches in Yishun, Woodlands, Joo Chiat and Bukit Panjang. It has provided subsidised Traditional Chinese Medical treatment for the sick, regardless of race and religion, since 1952.
The institution’s post has been shared widely, after being highlighted by a reader on the popular Facebook page All Singapore Stuff, captioned: “Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution calling for masks donation. Don’t forget TCM practitioners are healthcare professionals too.”
<Reader's Contribution by Seah>Singapore Chung Hwa Medical Institution calling for masks donation. Don't forget TCM practitioners are healthcare professionals too.
Some people online have suggested substitutes for disposable surgical masks, such as providing the institution’s practitioners with respirators with filter discs.
While some netizens have stepped up and asked how they can make their donations, others have encouraged the institution to apply to the Government for help.
There was also unhappiness that some of the country’s supplies have been donated overseas.
Others, meanwhile, have said that they are still unable to purchase masks.
One man suggested that the staff could make their own masks.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Police have seized component parts for the first ever 3D gun to be found in the UK since the advent of 3D printers.
Greater Manchester police were conducting searches when they discovered a 3D printer and what they suspect to be a 3D magazine and trigger, which could be put together to make a gun.
The printers can be bought for as little as £1200 from a high street store. 3D printers allow anyone to download designs from the internet and, in theory, assemble a gun. The printers squirt molten plastic to produce 3D shapes of whatever design has been downloaded.
The technology is already available in the US where people have produced 3D printer-made guns and posted videos on youtube.
Detective Inspector Chris Mossop of Challenger's Organised Crime Coordination Unit said, "This is a really significant discovery for Greater Manchester Police."
The police arrested one man suspected of making gunpowder while forensic teams examine the parts to establish if they could construct a viable firearm.
Detective Inspector Chris Mossop warned that criminal gangs could use printers to produce firearms which pose a risk “Because they are also plastic and can avoid X-ray detection, it makes them easy to conceal and smuggle."
“"If what we have seized today can, as we suspect, be used to make a genuine firearm, then today will be an important milestone in the fight against this next generation of homemade weapons,” he said.Last Mod: 25 Ekim 2013, 15:58

Students from five Satya Bharti Schools in Ludhiana, Punjab, accompanied by the local Bharti Airtel team, conducted a sensitization community campaign on cleanliness practices. Through rallies and door-to-door campaigns in their respective villages, the students spread the message of the importance of creating proper drainage systems, using toilets as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle. During the door-to-door visits, Satya Bharti School students made the children and adults of the households wash their hands and also distributed biscuit packets among them. The students recited slogans during this activity to lay an emphasis on the messages delivered. Around 500 households were covered during this activity across five villages, conducted on four consecutive Saturdays.Community campaigns help deliver the message of cleanliness and form an important integral of the nation’s agenda for Swachha Bharat.

Aromatherapy and Herbal Remedies for Pregnancy, Birth, and Breastfeeding
Heartburn, backache, morning sickness, insomnia, pain from tearing… the list of discomforts from the childbearing year can seem endless. But at Motherlove, we've long known that for each challenge there are herbs and essential oils that can provide gentle and effective relief.
We are therefore very pleased to share a new book, Aromatherapy and Herbal Remedies for Pregnancy, Birth, and Breastfeeding, which is an essential guide to using herbs and essential oils to support mothers in the journey of childbearing.
In this book, author Demetria Clark, a midwife and herbalist, shares valuable information about the use of these natural approaches. She provides directions for making aromatherapy remedies in the forms of body sprays, room sprays, bath oils, diffuser blends, and more. She shares herbal remedy recipes for teas, tinctures, lozenges, and syrups. Demetria explains which essential oils and herbs are safe to use during the different stages of pregnancy, labor, birth, breastfeeding, and the postpartum period. And, she even includes information on growing, preparing, and wildcrafting herbs.
We think that Aromatherapy and Herbal Remedies for Pregnancy, Birth, and Breastfeeding is an essential resource for mothers seeking natural approaches to common concerns at this time of life. And, we are very pleased to share a recipe from the book - for heartburn tea - below!
Heartburn Tea (makes three cups dried herbs)
1 cup dried raspberry leaves
1/2 cup dried chamomile flowers
1/2 cup dried lemon balm leaves
1/2 cup marshmallow root
1/2 cup dried spearmint leaves
Combine herbs and water in a clean glass jar and mix well until combined. Use 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried herb mixture per 1 cup of boiling water. Let steep for 10 to 20 minutes, strain, and discard the herbs. Stored in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator, this prepared herbal tea will keep for 1 to 2 days.
Dosage instructions: Drink 1 cup after eating a meal or upon the onset of heartburn.

Herein we report the discovery of an ichthyosaur embryo from the Upper Member of the Sundance Formation (Oxfordian) of the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. The specimen is the first known ichthyosaur embryo from the Upper Jurassic, and is the first Jurassic ichthyosaur embryo from North America. The embryo was discovered in close association with the abdomen of an articulated partial plesiosaur skeleton, and several lines of evidence support the interpretation of the embryo as plesiosaur stomach contents. The small size and extremely poor ossification of the embryo indicate that the animal was probably not a neonate. Although the taxonomic affinities of the fossil are unknown, the large ichthyosaurian (sensu stricto) Opthalmosaurus natans is the only known ichthyosaur from the Sundance Formation, and the embryo may belong to that taxon.

CHICAGO — A new $25,000 trash removal machine that features a recycling unit for cans and bottles and is equipped to wage war on graffiti made its official debut Sunday outside of City Hall.
Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Al Sanchez said the machine also has higher suction power, a longer vacuum hose and more water capacity to scrub and wash the streets.
The machines, which carry a "We're glad you're here" logo, can store graffiti removal equipment, according to Vito Pesoli, the department's head of operations in the Loop.
The machines were made in Scotland and can store 90 gallons of trash; older models could only store 50 gallons, Pesoli said.
The new model, which can travel 10 m.p.h., also has a higher water capacity--about 14 1/2 gallons, compared with 12 gallons, he said.
Sanitation officials said the new recycling features of the machine were sought to appease Mayor Richard Daley, who has been a strong supporter of recycling.
The city, which has five of the new units, hopes to have 10 more in its fleet before the end of summer.

By Arkangel Tembo and Tione Andsen
Mafco FC captain, Paul Ndolvu has described relegation of their team in the TNM Super League as a “very sad development”
He offered an apology to Mafco followers on behalf of his teammates as they have been relegated following their 2-1 defeat at the hands of the defending TNM Champions Be Forward Wanderers in a highly contested game which was played on Saturday at Chitowe Stadium in Dwangwa.
“Mafco is a big club, with good players and we should not be relegated. It is a sorry state of affairs at Mafco at the moment and slightly embarrassing to think about it.”
“We understand the fans are annoyed, not just disappointed. They are really annoyed with the club and the players. But the players are hurt too. We have not been lying down and dying,” he said.
However, Ndolvu insists that he would have the personal incentive of staying on at Mafco to try and earn promotion back to the League.
“I have a point to prove as it has not been a great season for me and we have been relegated,” the captain added.
Ndolvu pointed out that, “It is inexcusable. It is an absolute outrage that we have been relegated to Chipiku and that is no disrespect to the lower League,”
Mafco Coach, Tione Mhone said things have not worked out for the team during the season.
“We need to accept reality of life and rest a bit and start a fresh in the lower league and see how it will work out for us to get back to Super League,” he said
Mhone had been very optimists during the season where he has all hope of pulling out of the relegation zone.
He used to say, “Mafco does not belong to this zone. We are hopeful that we will get out and fight for a place in the top eight,”
Things never worked until, he started blaming officiating personnel of being bias to other teams which was posing a threat to their survival chances.
The Departure of their Head Coach, Temwa to help embattled Kamuzu Barracks (KB) in Lilongwe could be attributed to one of the key departing moment of the Salima side.
Temwa replaced suspended KB Coach, Billy Phambala and has propelled the team to be in the top eight despite struggling in most of their games this season.
Mafco have followed Nchalo United with one team left to go on the chopping list.
The Salima based side has wrapped up their games on position 15 with 29 points.
Zomba Based outfit, Red Lions could be the next team to joining the relegation squad.
They have 33 points from 29 games and they need to win I order to reach 36 points to be safe.
They drew with Blue Eagles on Saturday at Nankhaka and the draw has worked for the Cops of Area 30 who were in the relegation ring.
Red Lions will face current league leaders, Nyasa Big Bullets at home and they surely need to collect maximum points for them to remain in the top flight league.


text: 1. A degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) homology screening procedure was applied to rat brain cDNA in order to identify novel genes belonging to the amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel and degenerin (NaC/DEG) family of ion channels. A single gene was identified that encodes a protein related to but clearly different from the already cloned members of the family (18-30 % amino acid sequence identity). Phylogenetic analysis linked this protein to the group of ligand-gated channels that includes the mammalian acid-sensing ion channels and the Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-amide (FMRFamide)-activated Na+ channel. 2. Expression of gain-of-function mutants after cRNA injection into Xenopus laevis oocytes or transient transfection of COS cells induced large constitutive currents. The activated channel was amiloride sensitive (IC50, 1.31 microM) and displayed a low conductance (9-10 pS) and a high selectivity for Na+ over K+ (ratio of the respective permeabilities, PNa+/PK+ >= 10), all of which are characteristic of NaC/DEG channel behaviour. 3. Northern blot and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis revealed a predominant expression of its mRNA in the small intestine, the liver (including hepatocytes) and the brain. This channel has been called the brain-liver-intestine amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel (BLINaC). 4. Corresponding gain-of-function mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans degenerins are responsible for inherited neurodegeneration in the nematode. Besides the BLINaC physiological function that remains to be established, mutations in this novel mammalian degenerin-like channel might be of pathophysiological importance in inherited neurodegeneration and liver or intestinal pathologies.

Real estate valuation in New Zealand is regulated by the New Zealand Institute of Valuers ('NZIV') and the Valuers Registration Board of New Zealand ('VRB'), both of which are statutory bodies established under the Valuers Act 1948 (NZ). The NZIV remains the statutory professional body for valuers in New Zealand, with perpetual succession under the Act (which is under review as at 2015). The NZIV can make Rules as lower level legislation and has a Code of Ethics. The NZIV Rules were last changed in 2012 and remain current. The VRB has jurisdiction in relation to serious matters affecting the registration of a valuer including discipline where a valuer has acted in such a way as to meet the threshold. The Valuers Act 1948 sets the threshold under s31 as matters where a valuer could be struck off the register of valuers. The NZIV has power for discipline for relatively more minor matters. The NZIV governs NZIV members and has power to discipline members and fine them up to $500, admonish members or terminate their membership. The designations "Registered Valuer" and "Public Valuer" are legally protected under the legislation, being reserved for Valuers Registered under the Act. The NZIV, under the Act, can admit non-valuer members (such as non-valuer land economists).
In order to account for the usage of the land, the net operating income is reduced by the Liegenschaftszins (interest paid to the land-owner by the owner of the building, i.e., ground rent). The Liegenschaftszins is the product of the land value and the Liegenschaftszinssatz (interest rate for land use). The Liegenschaftszinssatz is the equivalent of the yield—with some important differences—and is also determined by the Gutachterausschuss.

Leasehold value – The interest held by a tenant. If the tenant pays market rent, then the leasehold has no market value. However, if the tenant pays less than the market, the difference between the present value of what is paid and the present value of market rents would be a positive leasehold value. For example, a major chain retailer may be able to negotiate a below-market lease to serve as the anchor tenant for a shopping center. This leasehold value may be transferable to another anchor tenant, and if so the retail tenant has a positive interest in the real estate.

NASA recently tested its advanced propulsion system, a 3D-printed rotating detonation rocket engine powered by supersonic technology. The successful trial at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, showcased a sustained burn lasting three times longer than the initial test, generating over 5,800 pounds of thrust for 251 seconds.
This propulsion, known as the Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE), utilizes supersonic combustion, providing increased power efficiency and reduced fuel consumption compared to conventional systems. The RDRE has the potential to support crewed landers and interplanetary vehicles for deep space missions to destinations like the Moon and Mars. NASA is actively working to scale the technology for higher performance, aiming to develop a fully reusable 10,000-pound RDRE to advance the agency’s Moon to Mars vision.

Minutes after Cornelius Vines' three-pointer forced a second extra period, seventh-seeded Hofstra ran out of late-game heroics last night, falling to second-seeded Northeastern, 74-71, in double overtime in a CAA Tournament quarterfinal at Richmond Coliseum.
Hofstra (19-14) had won seven straight and 10 of 11. The Pride lost in the quarterfinals of the tournament for the sixth time in the past nine years. "I told the team after the game that this was a tough loss, but losing a basketball game won't be the toughest thing they go through in their lives," coach Tom Pecora said.
Jenkins had 24 points and eight rebounds in 49 minutes. Vines and Greg Washington (four blocks) had 11 points each. Freshman Halil Kanacevic added nine points and nine rebounds. Janning had 26 points for Northeastern (20-11).
"Their experience came through at the end,'' Pecora said, "and since we played a close game yesterday, I think they had a little more in the tank the more the game kept going.''
Jenkins' free throw with 2:22 left in regulation gave Hofstra a 52-48 lead. But Kauri Black's layup with six seconds left sent the game into overtime.
The Pride took a 55-52 lead with 2:08 left in the first overtime on Jenkins' jumper, but Northeastern scored six straight points. Washington tipped in a missed shot with 28 seconds left and Vines tied the score at 60 with a three-pointer with 14 seconds left.
"I hadn't really been hitting, but Coach called the play for me in the timeout, and Charles set a great screen," Vines said. "I got a good look and just knocked it down."

The finance minister of India Nirmala Sitharaman provided a status update on the cryptocurrency bill that the Indian government has been working on. She said, “We have done a lot of work on it. We have taken stakeholders inputs”.
What is the Current Status of India’s Crypto Bill?
In an interview with Businessline published last week, the finance minister of India Nirmala Sitharaman has provided some details about India’s cryptocurrency bill.
In that interview, she was asked about “the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill 2021”.
We have done a lot of work on it. We have taken stakeholders’ inputs. The Cabinet note is ready. We have to see when the Cabinet can take it up and consider it so that then we can move it.Nirmala Sitharaman (India’s Finance Minister)
The crypto bill was first listed to be introduced Indian budget session of parliament earlier this year, but due to some reasons, it was not introduced.
According to details listed on the official website of parliament, the crypto bill aims, “To create a facilitative framework for [the] creation of the official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India. The bill also seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses”.
In May the finance minister was also said, “There will be a very calibrated position taken … [The] world is moving fast with technology. We can’t pretend we don’t want it.” Then the government reportedly set up a panel of experts in finance to re-examine the recommendations within the crypto bill.
Now after the news of the crypto bill the questions are rising in the minds of crypto investors, “Will the government ban Cryptocurrency in India?” What you think about it, write in the comments below.

Spokane Public Libraries are doubling as cooling centers this week as a heat wave bears down on the Inland Northwest.
But few people were taking advantage of the services on Tuesday afternoon.
Along with air conditioning, libraries are providing bottled water and seating for guests.
Tuesday through Saturday, Central, Shadle Park, Liberty Park and Hillyard libraries will be open until 8 p.m., an hour after their usual closing time on weeknights and three hours past their usual closing time on Friday and Saturday.
The heat wave is expected to last until Monday, with temperatures hitting their peak on Friday.
“We’re working closely with the city of Spokane to extend our hours,” Spokane Public Libraries spokesperson Amanda Donovan said.
Although library attendance wasn’t greater than usual at the Liberty Park and Hillyard branches early Tuesday afternoon, staff expect the number of patrons to increase as temperatures climb over 100 degrees over the next few days.
Those visiting the cooling centers will also be able to access the standard library resources until the normal closing time at 7 p.m.
The city has provided funding for security during these extended hours.
The city may add more hours if they are needed once the heat wave hits.
“We are always open for anyone that needs a place to be,” Donovan said.

The two most powerful warriors, according to Leo Tolstoy, are patience and time. These qualities are demonstrated by young artists Azizi Latif and Sabihis Pandi in The Young Talent, writes Sarah NH Vogeler
BOTH were classmates at UiTM, (Universiti Teknologi Shah Alam) and graduated together. Their stories are different, they come from different backgrounds, but their works speak one language.
For The Young Talent exhibition, Azizi presents a series of portraits of artists he deeply admires and respects. On the walls are faces we recognise and love: Latiff Mohidin, Datuk Mohd Hoessein Enas, Datuk Ibrahim Hussein, Awang Damit, Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal, Keith Haring, Gerhard Richter, Picasso, Yoshitomo Nara and Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita.
His voice dreamy, Azizi confides: “I want to be like them, these wonderful people who have given the world so much beauty you forget how ugly most things are. It takes back-breaking work to survive as an artist.”
He recalls there was a period when he only ate instant noodles and used whatever money he had for paint and canvases. Adding, Azizi says: “My story is not unique. Any true artist will tell you the same. Looking at my works on the walls today, I can only hope to make my family proud and tell the world that I’m here to stay.”
Sabihis nods in agreement, before sharing: “I used to deep-fry dried salted fish and have it with rice for meals. I sustained on that for the longest time. Art supplies can be atrociously expensive, and what I had, like Azizi, went towards buying things for my work. Was it worth it? Absolutely.”
Their works are as different as night and day. Collage is a massively fluid way of creating art; it is poetry with paper. Azizi’s portraits are that lovely mix of his own peculiarities and sophistication.
Every face he “paints” is an intimation of his own turmoil. The works are like movie reels, every fold of paper representing pastiches of how we largely look at things — splintered.
Picasso has a blackened face which strangely pulls you in, Pak Latiff’s silver hair and faraway stare makes that already alluring man downright sexy, and Hoessein Enas gazes out unfettered as he contemplates some secret we’ll never know.
Meanwhile, Sabihis’ approach is bolder. A number of his works are politically motivated. He tells stories of oppression, of the aggravated, the stripped and raped. The artist paints the obscene and evil through his interpretations of myths, holy texts, history and his own anguish.
One which resonates is Pelacur, Anjing dan Kehidupan (The Whore, The Dog and Life) — that story we’ve heard growing up, of the whore who fed a stray dog water cupped in her shoe; her sins thus forgiven. The things we lug inside of us are horrible, the things we did because they were the only things to be done at the time. Sabihis illustrates this beautifully.
PASSION AND PERSISTENCE
Curator Sim Polenn reflects: “It’s the second month of the year, and we decided to hold a two-man show. It’s for exhibition purposes only, as all the works are on loan from different collectors, and none are for sale. Both artists were born in 1988, both were classmates in UiTM (Fine Art), and graduated at the same time.
It’s interesting to see how far they’ve come since graduating.”
Both artists have won the UOB Painting of The Year Award. Sabihis won in 2014 (Bronze) while Azizi won in 2015 (Silver). These young talents use rare mediums and techniques; Azizi utilises paper, folding and quilling technique while Sabihis is very much ingrained in woodcut and printmaking techniques.
Continues Polenn: “Compared to the more conventional mediums (oil/ acrylic/ water colour/ ink) painting, Azizi and Sabihis works take more time to finish, the number of pieces produced are lower, and takes a lot of painstaking effort.
Besides their obvious skills, both are determined, persistent, passionate and bold.”
The art market is an infamously muddy one, and the highly dicey investment in upcoming artists is just plain crazy at times. Prices soar at auctions for mysterious reasons, and to survive is an effort nothing short of Herculean. But that’s business, it is all cut-throat.
But there’s another way of looking at it. Perhaps we don’t need less art and fewer artists; instead, what we need is art that helps us heal, fearless works which tells things as they should be told and ones which edifies the soul.
Here’s something that comes to mind from Dreams by American poet Langston Hughes, for what are we without them:
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

Once upon a time Slovenian parents were very desperate. They could not find valuable pedagogical online content for their kids, aged 3 to 8. A1 Slovenia recognized this need and went on its way out to search for companions to give parents and children inspiration back again. So, A1 Slovenia contacted renowned Slovenian fairy tale writers, young illustrators and retirement homes to join this long-term project with their stories. A creative agency and other professionals completed the teamwork and together they produced more than a 100 recorded audio fairy tales available via app on the phone, putting Slovenian children since December 2016 with a good story to fairyland. And they all listened to fairy tales happily ever after.
Lots of pieces fit together to make Lahkonočnice (Bedtime fairy tales) a successful project
Ideas and timing as well as a strong connection with our core business, like the embedded Soundcloud player on the mobile/web platform, which allows also a playlist of the child’s favourite fairy tales are the ingredients of success. And, finally passionate people working on it. All storytellers organized themselves in small interest groups in the retirement homes and read fairy tales to each other, to fellow seniors or to visiting children. Our writers are happy as well! Thanks to all the promotion we did for Slovene contemporary literature, even a few new writers sent us many e-mails with their stories and asked to include them into the project. Besides the parents’ feedback, the positive reception of the brand A1, numbers of downloads and site visits, as well as more than 30 awards prove this story to be a successful one.
»Emotions are the main driver for the project’s success and growth.«
After 100-recorded stories, we decided to continue only on a theme-based basis. In 2018 followed the bee trilogy to celebrate the first international bee day and our beehives on top of our A1 headquarter rooftop. After that another five “Good night, prejudice!” themed fairy tales together with the national radio broadcasting service were published. We will continue this in 2019, as well as setting a focus on the visual part of fairy tales and importance of visual expression for children in early ages. Watch out for more information around the international bee day at the end of May! We are also busy preparing the publishing of two picture books based on our fairy tales, illustrated and designed in cooperation with ALUO students (The Academy of Fine Arts and Design).
We met Tanja, expert for Media and Channels at A1 Slovenia, for an interview on this special project.
What were your personal highlights and expectations?
Every new collaboration and sub-project is a highlight for itself. We have plans until the end of this year and I am sure we will find a way to continue the project. The library of contemporary Slovene audio fairy tale is here to stay for all generations to come; we just have to be innovative in its promotion.
What makes this project special?
The service hero product is an audio fairy tale, but we managed to promote not only Slovene literature and writers but also young Slovene illustrators while addressing seniors’ issues in retirement homes, such as loneliness and detachment from outside world, as well as cognitive dissonance. We pointed out pressing topics of prejudice, ethical and moral values through written and visual creativity.
Which is your favorite fairy tale?
I do listen to them and I have my preferences, but I probably listen to it with a different ear and perspective; I look mainly for the diversity among them since there are so many different target audiences and messages we would like to reach.
Which character do you identify with?
I relate to the dragons most easily. ;)


Incoloy is a nickel-iron-chromium base superalloy that resists carbonization and oxidation in high-temperature environments. Incoloy metal alloys are easy to manufacture, using the same machines and processes as stainless steel. Incoloy fitting is primarily chromium and nickel-based and are designed for corrosion resistance as well as strength at elevated temperatures.
Incoloy Fitting has outstanding resistance to oxidizing as well as reducing acids.
We can do ASTM B366/ASME SB366 Incoloy Fitting with material grade Incoloy 800, Incoloy 800H, Incoloy 800HT, Incoloy 825 pipe fittings, etc.
Incoloy alloys do not have to be heat treated after welding to restore corrosion resistance.
Highly resistant to corrosion and can handle the high temperatures and pressures involved.

A method is presented to compute the demagnetization tensor field for uniformly magnetized particles of arbitrary shape. By means of a Fourier space approach it is possible to compute analytically the Fourier representation of the demagnetization tensor field for a given shape. Then, specifying the direction of the uniform magnetization, the demagnetizing field and the magnetostatic energy associated with the particle can be evaluated. In some particular cases, the real space representation is computable analytically. In general, a numerical inverse fast Fourier transform is required to perform the inversion. As an example, the demagnetization tensor field for the tetrahedron will be given.

One of my favorite ways to appreciate music and art is at an outdoor festival. Luckily, Whatcom County has a natural outdoor venue designed for just that purpose. Lookout Arts Quarry located south of Bellingham on Old Highway 99 N is an arts collective that produces and hosts new creative, culturally-diverse works of all disciplines through their summer festivals, artist residencies and events. From May through September, you can appreciate music, dance, and the healing arts out in the wild for a day or a long weekend at a variety of events.
If you’re looking to escape into the wild and immerse yourself in an artists community, this is the place. This is not a typical concert venue. Most who attend camp in a tent and spend their days in workshops or exploring and connecting with others. Many evenings include music and dance performances late into the night (and for some events, into the early morning).
About Lookout Arts Quarry
The Lookout Arts Quarry operated as an industrial rock quarry for 36 years. In 2007, a group of artists took ownership of its 61 acres to create a true arts collective. Their goal is to steward the health and biodiversity of the land while providing an educational and professional destination for artists and festival gatherings. Since then, they’ve steadily improved the property by creating a nature preserve, planting fruit trees and developing art-focused event infrastructure.
In addition to hosting a variety of art-based events, Lookout also hosts an artist residency. Their communal warehouse includes a rent-subsidized room that is reserved for artists that can apply for a limited stay to produce a specific project. Each residency culminates with a showing of work such as a performance, a workshop, a publication, pop-up, and many other forms of exhibition. Artists in residence benefit from the use of the collective’s facilities including a 1,000-square-foot movement studio, communal music studio yurt, community kitchen, outdoor stages, and wood and metal workshops.
Most events take advantage of their three outdoor stages, campsites, and the outdoor festival kitchen. Be aware that facilities are charmingly rustic. The site uses composting toilets and is conscientious about recycling.
Lookout also has a lake with a floating dock for endless swimming fun and dancing at night, a wild west saloon, a pirate ship, rocks and art installations and opportunities to slack- and zip-line during a festival.
Although I can’t list all of their intriguing events here, I’ve summarized a few to give you an idea of what to expect. Check their website for a full, updated list of events.
BAMF! – Bellingham Arts and Music Fest May 12 – 13, 2018, from noon to noon
Now in its second year, this all-night festival was founded in 2017 as a senior project by two Western Washington University Fairhaven College students, Olas Perpich and Monica Griffin who have since graduated. Their passion for event and music production shines through in this untamed festival all about celebrating area artists. With the help of other students, volunteers, and up-and-coming event planners, this 24-hour party is a great way to meet area artists. More than 50 musical and comedy acts perform during the 24-hour festival and more than 750 were in attendance last year. A variety of workshops are also offered so that you can practice your art and learn as well. You’ll meet interactive sculpture artists and circus performers and can stay up all night at the silent disco and share your vocals with Love and Rockets Karaoke with Esme.
Happy Solstice! We hope everyone is enjoying the summer and we're so glad many of you chose to welcome spring with us at BAMF! 2017. Special thanks to The Nook Collective for creating this awesome recap of our springtime festival, and to club mage and Metsä for their incredible music!
Posted by Bellingham Arts & Music Fest on Wednesday, June 21, 2017
This festival is wild fun around the clock for those that are 18+. Minors may attend but must be accompanied by their guardian at all times. Your tickets include a camping spot. Plan to bring boots, camping and outdoor gear because May at the Quarry can be muddy with that spring evening chill. Parking fees aren’t included in your tickets but to encourage carpooling and alternative transportation, they offer the “Clown Car Discount,” free parking for any vehicle that has every seat filled by a passenger. They’re also encouraging “Bike to BAMF!” which is about a 1.5-hour ride from the Bellingham area.
Any extra funds raised during the event goes right back into the arts community through local arts coalitions.
Flow State Summit July 27-28, 2018
Flow State Summit is about cultivating an experience, creating meaningful connections and embodying flow in all aspects. From camping in the woods, community breakfasts at the outdoor kitchen, morning yoga jams on the floating dock, workshops all day transitioning to ecstatic dance parties by night, you will be moved. You’ll also find skillshares, cirque and live music performances and more at this festival of health and wellness.
Meet new friends and find your center at this first annual summit. Your ticket includes a prep-course to get you in the right state of mind for the summit.
Northwest AcroYoga Campout August 9 – 12, 2018
This event offers three days of AcroYoga. Combining partner acrobatics, Thai massage, and yoga, participants learn to work together and trust your body and your partners. The event includes multiple workshops at all levels each day. Kids and families are welcome and your ticket includes all workshops, camping, and organic vegetarian meals.
Northwest Recess in August
If recess was your favorite subject in school, you’ll enjoy this break from the ordinary. Like many of the events at Lookout, this festival is a place where you can find connection and beauty through dance, participatory culture and play. It is a big draw for Bellingham’s circus community. The days are filled with swimming and cliff-jumping in the flooded quarry and hiking in acres of surrounding national forest. The nights are filled with dancing in the circus warehouse, the Recess Bus, as well as the legendary floating dance floor that Recess helped custom build four years ago. You’ll also enjoy their “usual hallmarks of Recess: artistically-driven parties with Fusion and Blues music bumping until well past sunrise and a radically inclusive ethic that can’t help but inspire.”
Sh’Bang Festival of Ideas, September 7 – 9, 2018
This all-inclusive electric festival is now in its 11th year. Performances by more than 50 live bands, more than 30 circus and other performances across five stages will keep you and the family entertained. The variety is endless with hands-on workshops, art installations, aerialists, puppet-making, burlesque cabaret, and parades to name just a few.
This festival includes a Kids Creative Zone in the Harmonious Hollow. Numerous kid-focused activities keep the creativity flowing and wildly entertained. The rules and expectations of festival goers are well laid out and focus on inviting everyone to have an excellent time. The festival runs Friday through Sunday night with a morning check out time on Monday.

Circus Campout August 23 – 26, 2018
Circus Campout is a gathering of circus artists, professionals and hobbyists, who gather for three days of workshops, shows and play. Attendees are encouraged to share their skills and performances. With over 40 workshops to choose from, you could learn handstands, dance trapeze, acro-yoga, juggling, fire-breathing, street-performing, loud whistling, knife-throwing, and more.
Cascadia Skillshare and Barter Faire September 14-16, 2018
Skillsharing is about teaching and learning all kinds of useful, handy, and practical skills. Those skills used to be handed down from generation to generation or via apprenticeship. The goals of the Faire are to foster self-reliance by reviving those lost skills, showcase some new ones, and provide a place where everyone can learn from folks in the community with experience in these crafts and trades. The event is inclusive and diverse.
The “Barter” portion of the Faire is to allow folks to trade items (think handcrafted, homemade, wild harvested, self-cultivated, tools, building materials/supplies).
Hourly and on-going skillshares via presentations, workshops, and classes are planned around musical performances, swimming, dancing and fun. Food vendors and a beer garden add more fun to this laid-back family-friendly adventure.
Whether you’re looking for an all-night dance party or a relaxing retreat, Lookout Arts Quarry has an event for you. You’ll find and connect with the community at this rustic outdoor venue dedicated entirely to the arts and the Pacific Northwest environment.

I’m Tom Shadyac, director of Ace Ventura, Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty. After a recent brush w death, I decided to share my story of the hypocrisies I woke up to, the changes I made in my life, my views on true wealth&what we can...
Directing successful Hollywood movies brought with it the spoils of success, i.e. lots of money. A growing discomfort with my new-found "wealth" (and the agreements we make to get that wealth) led me to give away much of this money to people and organizations that needed it more. Quietly, I dismantled much of my estate, eventually trading a mansion for a mobile home. (Don't feel bad for me, it's a beautiful mobile home, but one that is out of the bigger-is-better paradigm.) For the next 10 years, I kept most of the changes in my life to myself, until one fateful day in 2007, when a routine concussion from a mountain bike accident turned deadly, and would change the course of my life forever. I made a documentary about it, and now a book. http://lifesoperatingmanual.com/
Alright all. Thanks for meeting me here. If you want to dive in deeper, please go to our website, Lifesoperatingmanual.com or you can check out I AM at iamthedoc.com Our book is available for free online, or you can buy a hard copy from Amazon or any Barnes and Noble. All proceeds/profits are donated to charity. Love you all and appreciate you! And in the immortal words of Ace Ventura, TAKE CARE NOW, BYE-BYE THEN!!!

Prominent coverage in the foreign press regarding the management of tourist flows: from El Pais to Le Monde, the Washington Post and Financial Times.
By Enrico Tantucci
VENICE: The world is talking about the gates that were placed to manage the flow of tourists in Venice. The news of the creation of these tourist “check points” during the May 1 holiday, as requested by Mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro, has in the following days turned up in many foreign dailies.
From French to English, Spanish to German, American to even Argentinian, all have reported on the unprecedented provision. The reports inevitably reflect on the overcrowding of Venice as well as the general fragility of the city.
The reactions are more surprised than negative, almost as if fully aware that, as the physical presence of these gates indicates, Venice risks “overflowing” with too much tourism and that the moment to do something has arrived.
The notable French daily Le Monde, for example, wrote regarding the gates: “The measure was considered “useful” by an Italian tourist, who admitted to having a sense of “security and order”, but a French couple was more conflicted. “I think it is bad for tourism. I think that Venice loses people who are blocked by crowds and frustrated by not being able to see the monuments”, said Paul. “It’s shocking being blocked by the crowds, I agree”, said Valerie, “but at what price? If it means damaging the city…”.
The Financial Times, the prestigious British financial daily, has instead invited its readers to go to Treviso instead of Venice to avoid the packed sites and choked passages. “Few cities” writes the Financial Times “have the history and the setting of Venice, yet these are not enough. The 55 thousand inhabitants of the Serenissima are submerged by almost 3 million tourists a year, and the city has been at the forefront of protests against tourism. Treviso is just twenty minutes from Venice and has its own airport. Despite this, and in its favor, the city has been ignored by mass tourism”.
For the Spanish El Pais, “the reality, apart from the turnstiles, is that there is a serious menace to the city. While the tourist visits continue to rise, fueled by the cruise phenomenon, which involved 2.5 million people last year, the city’s population has diminished to two thirds of what it was in middle of the last century. Even if this is in part due to the threats and damages caused by acqua alta, mass tourism and the corrosion of the commercial and social fabric of the city that the tourism brings are the primary factors”. For the Spanish daily, “the model of Venice, a global paradigm of tourist saturation, prefigures a growing tendency in other places that are suffering from overcrowding. In fact, in Italy similar things are happening in places such as Cinque Terre, where entrance is now limited to a fixed number of visitors in the high season”.
The Washington Post writes that “the tourists far outnumber the residents of Venice, where the narrow calle become almost impassable in periods of high traffic”. And for the German Frankfurter Allgemeine, reporting on the gates, “Venice lives by tourism, but the huge crowds are endangering the World Heritage Site. Thus for years measures have been discussed regarding how to make tourism more sustainable”. Almost the same words appear in the Argentinian daily Clarin, referring to the introduction of the gates by recalling that “the flow of tourists at Venice grows especially when the cruise ships unload thousands of passengers for a day visit”.
In summary, there is a growing awareness even in the international press that mass tourism in Venice is becoming a problem rather than a primary resource, putting the survival of the city at risk. This concern is shared as well by the Undersecretary of Cultural Resources Ilaria Borletti Buitoni, who responded favorably to the introduction of gates for tourists by Mayor Brugnaro. “He had courage which must be acknowledged,” she remarked, “because he has finally begun addressing a problem which has been ignored for many years with an effort to control the flow of tourists. What is important is that this not be a ‘spot’ measure, but that we move forward along this course with organic and not contradictory provisions, such as those that call for the construction of new hotels at Mestre or along the coast, which will bring even more excursionists to the city. The message being spread in the foreign press is also important. Until now the world has seen and spread images of Venice clogged with crowds of tourists or crossed by cruise ships, images which are certainly not positive for the city. I don’t believe that images of the gates will keep tourists away from Venice, but they could make them more conscious of there being better times for their visit, even if it is inevitable that everyone, however, wants to arrive in Piazza San Marco”.

Groupon, the social buying site, is ending an advertising campaign that made its debut on Super Bowl Sunday, even after making changes to the ads in response to considerable criticism.
The withdrawal of Super Bowl ads after the game in the face of complaints is not unprecedented. Mars stopped running a spot for Snickers after the 2007 Super Bowl because it was deemed homophobic. But the decision is a setback for Groupon, the purveyor of online discount coupons, because the campaign represented its first national advertising.
"We hate that we offended people, and we're very sorry that we did," Andrew Mason, chief executive of Groupon, wrote in a post on the corporate blog. "It's the last thing we wanted."
Groupon ran a commercial during Super Bowl XLV on Fox, featuring the actor Timothy Hutton, as well as spots before and after the game, which featured Cuba Gooding Jr. and Elizabeth Hurley.
All three spots, which carried the theme "Save the money," were intended to spoof celebrity do-gooders who support causes like helping Tibetan refugees. The stars in each spot started talking about a cause, then veered off to describe how to save money by using Groupon coupons.
The twist was that the campaign was also intended to help those causes, with Groupon matching donations that consumers would make to organizations like Greenpeace. There were explanations about the philanthropic component online but not during the commercials, leading many viewers to deem the parodies as callous and insensitive.
Stung by the complaints, Mason posted an explanation on the corporate blog Monday. On Tuesday, the spots were re-edited to add language about how viewers could help the causes.
"But as many of you pointed out," Mason wrote in his second blog post, "if an ad requires an explanation, that means it didn't work.
"We thought we were poking fun at ourselves," he added, "but clearly the execution was off and the joke didn't come through."
Allen P. Adamson, managing director of the New York office of Landor Associates, which specializes in corporate and brand identity, said that ending the campaign was "the best thing Groupon can do to protect its reputation.
"Once something starts spinning in this social-media world, where people with an opinion vote instantly, you can't course-correct," Adamson said Friday. "It's best to pull the Band-Aid off fast."
The commercials were created by Crispin Porter & Bogusky, part of MDC Partners, an agency known for risk-taking work. Steve Sapka, a spokesman, referred inquiries to Groupon.
Mason wrote that Groupon and the agency would "run something less polarizing" but did not elaborate. The fundraising for the organizations would continue, he added, with a goal of raising $1 million.
The campaign was to have continued with a fourth commercial, featuring the singer Sheryl Crow, which has also been scrapped.


Today, Kalmar, part of Cargotec, is introducing an innovative fully automated guided vehicle (AGV) for transporting containers between quayside and landside operations. The new FastCharge AGV will be officially launched at the TECH TOC Conference within the TOC Asia terminal operations conference taking place 24-25 April 2018 at the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore.
The Kalmar FastCharge AGV is constructed on an optimised steel platform that can carry one or two 20’ containers, one 40’ or one 45’ container and handle loads of up to 70 tonnes. The AGV features an eco-efficient electric power system that uses the latest in Lithium-ion battery technology, making it much easier and more cost effective to maintain and operate than a comparable machine powered by lead-acid batteries. The fully electric drivetrain also ensures zero emissions at source.
Kalmar’s FastCharge technology – already available for Kalmar shuttle and straddle carriers – eliminates the need for time-consuming battery swapping as machines can be opportunity charged at charging stations along their working routes. With recharging taking just a few minutes, equipment availability is maximised with the AGVs spending more time moving containers and less time idle. The Kalmar FastCharge AGV also features a regenerative energy system that stores energy from braking and makes it available for reuse.
Customers can choose an integrated turnkey solution consisting of the Kalmar terminal logistics system (TLS) and Navis N4 terminal operating system. They can also take advantage of Kalmar Key, which enables integration of the Kalmar TLS with their existing terminal operating system (TOS) through a series of open application interfaces.
Mikko Mononen, Kalmar Vice President for Intelligent Horizontal Transportation, comments: “The Kalmar FastCharge AGV offers both greenfield and brownfield terminals an alternative solution to reduce the environmental impact of their operations while maximising equipment availability. Launching the Kalmar FastCharge AGV was the natural next step after the successful project with PSA Singapore, where we delivered a fleet of 18 customised electric AGVs at the end of June 2017.”
The Lithium-ion battery technology is gaining its due recognition in the port handling equipment. Port.Today has recently written about HHLA introducing AGVs powered by lithium-ion batteries to move containers at its Container Terminal Alternwerder (CTA) between ships and the yard. The terminal operator plans to switch its fleet of almost 100 AGVs to Li-ion battery drive by the end of 2022.

BEKA associates manufactures an extensive range of powered hazardous and safe area display instrumentation. The recently updated third generation field and panel instruments include rate totalisers, tachometers, counters, timers and clocks.
There is now a simple-to-use dedicated model for most process flow, speed, counting and timing applications. All are robust, with large easy to read displays and a novel slide-in scalecard which can be pre-printed or marked on-site with the instrument’s units of measurement. To minimise cost, some features such as the display backlight, isolated analogue and alarm outputs are factory fitted accessories which may be omitted if not required.
A simple menu structure which is common throughout all BEKA instrumentation, supported by extensive documentation, makes these single function instruments easy to specify and configure. Although the configuration functions have self-explanatory names allowing easy on-site calibration, all models can be supplied, configured and calibrated with specified units of measurement and tag information printed on the slide-in scalecard for no additional charge.
All BEKA instruments are supported by a three year guarantee and for those wishing to try before they buy, a free three month sale or return evaluation service is available.
Gas and dust areas
Certified instruments for applications in gas and dust hazardous areas with IECEx, ATEX, US and Canadian intrinsic safety certification allow worldwide installation. For Zone 2 and 22 applications, international Ex nA and Ex tc approvals permitting installation without the need for Zener barriers or galvanic isolators significantly reduces cost.
Field and panel mounting models
Field mounting models have an IP66 impact resistant GRP case with an armoured glass window and stainless steel fittings suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. Accessories include pipe and panel mounting kits and a stainless steel legend plate that can be supplied laser engraved with customer specified information.
There is a choice of three types of panel mounting instrument with two display sizes. All have IP66 front of panel protection including rugged 316 stainless steel instruments with 10mm thick glass windows for applications in severe, hazardous, marine or safe environments. A new accessory kit increases the rear of panel ingress protection to IP66 and includes two M20 gland entries allowing panel instruments to be installed on open panels.
BEKA rate totalisers can simultaneously display the total and rate of flow in the same or different engineering units from almost any pulse output flowmeter. To minimise flowmeter errors they incorporate a square root extractor and a configurable lineariser. Two input models enable the sum or difference of two flowmeter outputs to be displayed.
Most industrial counting functions can be economically performed by these third generation pulse input counters which will operate with most sensors. The two input instruments can display the sum or difference of the inputs in engineering units. The two input counters can also decode the output from a quadrature transducer, enabling the counter to display the position and speed of a shaft or a cable, such as a mooring line or a winch cable.
Display rotary speed from almost any pulse output sensor, including a proximity detector or magnetic pick-off. To simplify maintenance, the tachometers also simultaneously show the monitored machinery’s run-time on a separate display.
Timers and clocks
These versatile one or two input instruments can be configured on-site as a timer or as a clock. As a timer they can measure and display the elapsed time between external events or, with optional dual outputs, control external devices. Control cycles can be repeated continuously or a specified number of times with a configurable delay between each cycle.
When configured as a clock the instruments display local time in a twelve or twenty four hour format and can be externally synchronised. The optional control outputs enable two external devices to be turned on and off at pre-set times twice in each twenty four hour period.

Purdue guard Braden Smith earned the first of what could be several Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors Monday for his role in the 75-70 victory against Marquette in the Gavitt Games.
The Westfield graduate and reigning Indiana Mr. Basketball scored a co-team-high 20 points to go with three assists and two rebounds. Smith was 6 of 8 shooting from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range, and 5 of 6 at the free throw line.
More notably, he was turnover-free for the final 38 minutes. Smith put up 15 points in the second half, nine coming in the final five minutes during Purdue’s rally.
Surprisingly, no Purdue basketball player has ever won Big Ten Freshman of the Year, an award launched in 1986. Indiana had four of the first six winners, Dean Garrett (1987), Jay Edwards (1988), Eric Anderson (1989) and Damon Bailey (1991).
The Hoosiers have had 10 Big Ten Freshmen of the Year with A.J. Guyton (1997), Jared Jeffries (2001), D.J. White (2005), Eric Gordon (2008), Cody Zeller (2012) and Noah Vonleh (2014) also winning the award.
Purdue (3-0) entering Thursday night’s game against West Virginia in the Phil Knight Legacy, was ranked 24th in this week’s Associated Press poll.
Laying the foundation
One reason Purdue football is in position to win a share of the Big Ten West Division championship is the impact of its 26th ranked recruiting class in the 247 Sports composite ratings for 2019.
While the top two members of that class – defensive end George Karlaftis and wide receiver David Bell – are cashing NFL paychecks this season, this was more than a two-person class for coach Jeff Brohm and his staff.
Linebacker/safety Jalen Graham is probably the mostly likely senior to be drafted from this class. Graham is Purdue’s second-leading tackler this season with 40 despite missing four games with an injury.
Offensive guard Spencer Holstege is a three-year starter who has another season of eligibility. Fellow lineman Cam Craig had his 2022 season ended prematurely by injuries but was regarded as one of Purdue’s best.
Another three-year starter is safety Cam Allen, the No. 3 tackler with 38 stops to go along with three interceptions. Redshirt junior linebacker Jacob Walhberg is sixth with 28 tackles and an interception. Both have eligibility remaining.
Redshirt junior wide receiver T.J. Sheffield has 33 receptions for 351 yards and three touchdowns as the No. 3 option for quarterback Aidan O’Connell. Running back King Doerue had been a three-year starter before an injury kept him on the sidelines for much of 2022. Doerue has his COVID year of eligibility available.
Another promising player, tight end Garrett Miller, was lost for the season with a torn ACL. He’s expected back in 2023.
Of the 25 players Purdue lists as seniors on its roster, seven sixth- or seventh-year players will have exhausted their eligibility following the bowl game: quarterbacks O’Connell and Austin Burton, wide receiver Charlie Jones, linebackers Kieren Douglas and Semisi Fakasiieiki, defensive tackle D.J. Washington and long snapper Nick Zecchino.
Purdue’s best bets for selection in the NFL Draft – Graham, cornerback Cory Trice and tight end Payne Durham – will probably pass on their extra year of eligibility due to COVID.
Starting cornerback Reese Taylor, kicker Mitchell Fineran and defensive end Scotty Humpich are using their extra COVID year in 2022 and will be moving on.
Six starters are among the Boilermakers who could use their COVID year in 2023: Allen, wide receiver Tyrone Tracy, tackle Eric Miller, defensive tackles Branson Deen and Lawrence Johnson and defensive end Jack Sullivan.
Key regulars who also have that COVID year include cornerback Jamari Brown, injured wide receiver Broc Thompson, safety Bryce Hampton and offensive linemen Sinone Finau and Daniel Johnson.
Purdue and Indiana’s season finale for the Old Oaken Bucket has seldom meant more than bragging rights for a year. This year it could also mean a share of the Boilermakers’ first Big Ten West Division championship.
The Hoosiers have just two Big Ten Conference championships in their history. Both times those seasons have ended with victories against the Boilermakers. In 1945, IU wrapped up a 5-0-1 conference slate with a 26-0 victory against Purdue in Bloomington. That victory led university president Herman B. Wells to call off classes on Monday.
Indiana’s lone Rose Bowl appearance came in 1967 after earning a tie with Purdue and Minnesota by defeating the Boilermakers 19-14 in Bloomington.
The Boilermakers have eight Big Ten championships but the first chance Indiana had to play spoiler was 1929. Purdue came to Bloomington with a 7-0 record and left with a 32-0 victory and its second league title.
Indiana was but a speed bump to Purdue’s 1931 and 1932 championship seasons, losing 19-0 in Bloomington and 25-7 in West Lafayette.
The Hoosiers provided one of the few challenges to the 1943 undefeated Boilermakers. The lone touchdown came in the first quarter on a Sam Vacanti pass to Frank Bauman. A goal line stand in the final minute preserved the 7-0 victory.
Purdue had a shot at its first Rose Bowl appearance in 1952 but needed a victory against Indiana to secure a tie with Wisconsin. The Hoosiers led 16-14 but Dale Samuels led a 66-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter, ending with Rex Brock’s 24-yard touchdown run with 4:22 to play.
The championship was Purdue’s but not the Rose Bowl. Wisconsin won the secret vote of the league’s athletic directors. However, the Badgers went on to suffer the Big Ten’s first Rose Bowl loss, 7-0 to USC.
It was 14 years before Purdue had another shot at the Rose Bowl, and it punched the ticket to Pasadena with a 51-6 victory over Indiana at Ross-Ade Stadium. A 34-point second quarter left no doubt about the outcome.
After the Hoosiers’ 1967 Rose Bowl trip, the era of “the Big Two and the Little Eight” began. Purdue had a few brushes with cracking the Michigan-Ohio State dynasty (1969, 1972, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1984) before breaking through in 2000 with Drew Brees quarterbacking the Boilermakers back to Pasadena.
A sold-out Ross-Ade Stadium celebrated the 41-13 victory against Indiana that clinched a share of the Big Ten title.
Purdue will know by Saturday’s 3:30 game time if it has a chance to be cannon fodder for Michigan or Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship game. A victory by Iowa at home on Friday against Nebraska sends the Hawkeyes to Indianapolis.
