Dog walkers in Cornwall can walk their pets on the beach again as restrictions have been lifted for the winter.
During the summer months dogs are not allowed to go on 43 beaches across Cornwall between 10am and 6pm as part of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
But with dogs once again allowed back on the county's beaches for winter walks, Cornwall Council is reminding people to act responsibly and pick up their litter.
Councillor Martyn Alvey, from Cornwall Council, said: “As always we ask that people take responsibility for their pets at all times.
"This means picking up their mess and keeping them under control.
“We want our beaches to be a safe place where everyone can enjoy themselves and dog owners must respect those around them.
“Unfortunately, every year we hear about dogs that have fallen from cliffs and I remind people to make sure they put their pets on leads, especially near dangerous edges.”
Dog owners who fail to pick up after their dogs, face being issued a fixed penalty notice, or if prosecuted a fine of up to £1,000.
He added: “Our enforcement officers do not always wear uniforms so you may not see them but be assured they do patrol many public places and if you don’t pick up after your dog, you may well be issued with £100 fixed penalty notice."
The council is also reminding owners that it is an offence to allow dogs to chase or attack livestock, or roam fields or enclosures in which there are sheep.

DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — A Delray Beach man is being held in a Veterans Affair Hospital under “continuous Military Guard” following his arrest Monday by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office in Kings Point.
The arrest follows a “SWAT” team standoff Monday in the same location. It is unclear if the arrest and SWAT team event are connected. The arrest report is still being processed.
The man, Mitchell Tennison, lives in the 200 Block of E. Normandy in Kings Point which is a similar address to Monday’s police activity.
According to court records, Tennison is charged with two counts of shooting into a dwelling. A judge Tuesday prohibited Tennison from having weapons and body armor. He is not permitted to be anywhere near the residence where the alleged “shooting into a dwelling” took place.
Tennison’s bond is set at $500,000.

Here are the Everton evening headlines on Sunday, May 10.
James Rodriguez encouraged to sign for Premier League club
Ex-Inter Milan and Colombia defender Ivan Cordoba has backed countrymate James Rodriguez to join a Premier League side.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Cordoba said: “I wish James would go to England because there are so many interesting options for him.
“Those who buy him will make an excellent choice,” he added.
Rodriguez is a reported target for Everton with the Colombian unlikely to remain at Real Madrid beyond this summer.
Rodriguez has made just seven La Liga appearances this season and could re-join former coach Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park in the summer transfer window.
Everton set Bolasie price tag - report
Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly prepared to offload winger Yannick Bolasie for as little as £3m this summer.
Bolasie has spent the 2019/20 season on loan at Sporting CP in Portugal, and is unfancied by new boss Ancelotti.
The 30-year-old signed for the club for a sizeable £25m fee back in 2016 with Everton likely to make a considerable loss in any deal they strike to sell on the former Crystal Palace man.
How points-per-game would impact Everton
Everton will finish the 2019/20 Premier League season in 12th place if points-per-game are used to decide the final standings.
The Toffees have averaged just 1.29 points per game so far this season, meaning their final total would leave them 12th on 49 points – the same tally they finished 8th with in 2017/18.
PPG has been suggested as a possible method of mathematically completing the season, but it is not a popular one and has drawn plenty of criticism.
However, there have been discussions concerning the viability of finishing the EFL season on a points-per-game basis, after France and the Netherlands both curtailed their top flight campaigns.
The Premier League’s desired plan is ‘Project Restart’, an initiative devised to complete the remaining 92 games behind closed doors in June and July.
Liverpool would finish top under the system, a whopping 26 points ahead of Manchester City.

text: Chapin tells how the 1971 Hal Prince/ Stephen Sondheim/Michael Bennett musical about old theater performers created no strapping young stars, went through multiple revisions, lost money and yet established a place in theater memory for emotional and artistic complexity. The author, son of arts impresario Schuyler Chapin, was one of Follies's few youngsters, a Connecticut College student observing the production as independent study but becoming the crew's gofer. Chapin's chronology spans the practical to the exceptional, from how tap sounds are created to the last-minute writing of Yvonne De Carlo's now-standard I'm Still Here. He also charts Boris Aronson's multileveled sets, the dress that transformed Alexis Smith into the show's star, the inestimable uses of previews in Boston, the Broadway opening and the surrounding national interest in the play. Chapin doesn't dwell on the negative audience reaction to Follies's ambiguities, leaving the play's year-long run to tell the tale. Despite much praise and many Tony Awards, Follies closed after 522 performances. It lost almost $800,000 and was considered a "financial failure." Still, nearly all the players considered it a high point of their careers. Prince called it his "favorite show"; Bennett said, "So much of that show was better than anything I've ever seen or anything I've ever done." Maybe, as Frank Rich says, it needs time to gain its place in theater history. Whatever happens, Chapin memorably marks the creation of a difficult, honorable work. 8 pages of color photos and 63 b&w photos in text.

RICHLAND CENTER, Wis. (WEAU) -- Investigators are looking into the death of an inmate.
On Saturday night, staff in the Richland County Jail found Jamie Holcomb, 27, of Whitewater hanging in the sleeping area of her cell block. Rescue crews responded and tried to use a defibrillator to resuscitate her. She was taking to the hospital, where she later died. Holcomb had been an inmate in the jail since May 21. She was booked on three felony bail jumping charges involving harassment injunction violations, and additional telephone harassment and misdemeanor drug charges. Her bond had been set at $3,000 cash, but she had said she couldn't post it.
An autopsy was set for Monday. The state jail inspector's office is expected to evaluate the case.

Note from Max: As part of a short series for Nir and Far, I recently interviewed Jane McGonigal who is a game designer at The Institute for the Future and bestselling author of Reality is Broken and SuperBetter. We discuss the impact of future technologies on behavior, habits, and the way we design products.
Q: You recently worked on a project designed to visualize the future of technology. The idea was that using some future, not-yet-existent product, nicknamed FeelThat, people could actually share emotions with each other. (Here’s a link to the video.) What was the thinking behind it?
Jane McGonigal: This is a project with Institute for the Future to look at some of the emerging technologies that are being prototyped, tested, and innovated right now. We try to imagine where technologies might take us in a decade or more if they became widespread and popular. We use a process to collect signals, or “clues,” about the future that suggest things that might have the potential to change our lives down the road. Then we try to extrapolate where these signals will lead if they’re amplified. The video is the result of gathering around 50 different signals, such as technologies that are sensing or collecting data on our emotions, sharing them with others, or technologies that stimulate us neurologically so we change our feelings in real time.

TWO off-duty police officers and another member of the public helped rescue an alleged drunk driver after she crashed into a tree in Mundijong overnight.
Police received a call just after midnight, when the car hit a tree on Mundijong Road.
St John Ambulance and the Department of Fire and Emergency Services were also called to the scene after there were reports of an oil leak.
A police spokesman said two off-duty police officers from Mundijong Police Station were on their way home and stopped to help at the crash, along with a member of the public.
The woman escaped with minor injuries, but police claim she recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.15 – three times the legal limit.
She was charged with driving under the influence and given an immediate license disqualification.

There will be one thing for sure when Spiro's football team travels to meet Muldrow in a 7:30 p.m. contest tonight. The Bulldogs will get their first win of the season. The only question which won't be answered until about late news time tonight is which Bulldogs.
Spiro (0-1) is coming off a 32-14 loss to the Vian Wolverines in a game which was close for about a half.
Things could not have started much better than they did for the Talihina Golden Tigers football team Friday night as they blasted the Wilburton Diggers 70-22 at Doc Robinson Stadium in the season opener.
â€śWe were awesome on offense,â€ť Talihina coach Kelly Gravitt said. â€śWe made our blocking assingments. We were physical and got after it. Our defense was sound. They did a great job, and it was a great opener. They didn't look like it was a Week 1 game. They looked sharp. It was a good game for us.â€ť
On Sept. 5, I went to Dr. Scott Clark's office to get some lab work done to make sure I'm in peak condition.
I was out in the parking lot, and I was looking at this nice ol' 1983 Kingfisher bass boat that was parked in the lot. It looked brand spanking new. I couldn't believe how new it looked. I was rubbing my hand across the carpet in a daze when I walked into Mike Sullivan, who said, â€śIsn't that a nice one? I used to have one just like her!â€ť

Workshop: elderly and disabilities
On May 29, the EGTC GO, in collaboration with the municipalities of Gorizia, Nova Gorica and Šempeter-Vrtojba, organized, as part of the Salute-Zdravstvo project, a workshop on the theme of the elderly and disabilities, to involve third sector organizations dealing with the weaker sections of the population. During the workshop, which had as main objective the creation of a cross-border network of operators active in the social sector, some collaboration proposals emerged. For example Unitri - Univerza za tretje življensko obdobje, Nova Gorica (University of the third age of Nova Gorica) and the University of the third age in Gorizia have proposed the joint organization of various training courses (for example linguistics). Go-spominčica, regijsko društvo za pomoč pri demenci za Severnoprimorsko regijo (Regional Association for Support in Dementia) and Centro Alzheimer mitteleuropea have instead proposed joint cross-border events to promote socialization.
The Salute-Zdravstvo project is funded by the Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia 2014-2020 program.

Can’t afford to sign Welker? Patriots can’t afford not to
With each passing week, it becomes more and more apparent.
The Patriots can’t allow wide receiver Wes Welker to run a fly pattern out of New England in 2013.
There is no option here. None. One way or another, a deal must get done.
If the tone of this column sounds familiar, it should. We were here this past year.
The resolution, when negotiations failed to provide one, was the placement of the franchise tag on Welker at a cost of $9.5 million, a move that, if nothing else, bought the team some time.
The investment, although hefty, has proven wise.
Coming off his 10-reception performance in Jacksonville last Sunday and his fifth Pro Bowl berth on Wednesday, we have visible proof that Welker’s talents haven’t waned at the age of 31.
An early-season fling with Julian Edelman, the “air apparent” to Welker, was foolish, proving futile when it became obvious that he was no replacement for the Pats’ slot machine.
Welker, once given the opportunity, has simply gone back to being his old self.
Put him down for another 100-plus-reception season to give him five in six seasons with the Patriots, a feat never before seen in the NFL.
Pencil in Welker – no, use a pen – to play in every game, something he’s done in six of his nine seasons with Miami and the Patriots, a feat that hybrid Aaron Hernandez – another guy who was allegedly going to help replace Welker – hasn’t managed in his three years in the league.
Four times this season, Welker has reached double figures in receptions in a game, with 13 against Denver, 12 at Miami and a pair of 10s at Seattle and Jacksonville.
With that, Welker now has 18 career games with at least 10 catches, the most in league history, one more than Houston’s Andre Johnson and the greatest receiver to ever play the game, Jerry Rice.
The fact of the matter is, there isn’t a soul on this roster who can even come close to doing what Welker does.
According to Ty Law, there isn’t a soul in the NFL who can do what Welker does.
“You’re the best in the game,” the cornerback-turned-Comcast Sports Net New England analyst told Welker while interviewing him following the Patriots’ 23-16 win over the Jaguars. “Your numbers speak for itself. Get your money.”
Admittedly, the cost of doing business with Welker in 2013 will again be hefty.
Inflation, you know.
If the two sides are unable to come to an agreement during the offseason on a multiyear contract, the Patriots could play tag with Welker once again, this time at a cost of $11.4 million.
It’s true that’s more than half of the roughly $22 million cap figure his batterymate, Tom Brady, will carry in 2013 (through a contract restructuring earlier this year), and as ESPNBoston.com’s Mike Reiss pointed out last Sunday, it would tie up more than $33 million in two players. That’s more than 27 percent of the $121 million cap that Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reported the NFLPA is anticipating in 2013.
Given that, there are those who will say the Patriots can’t afford to keep Welker, who, after all, is “only a slot receiver.”
On the contrary, they can’t afford not to.

Antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic root extract of mezoneuron benthamianum baill (Caesalpiniaceae)
This study investigated the activities of the ethanolic root extract of Mezoneuron benthamianum Baill (Caesalpiniaceae) and its partitioned fractions on some microbial isolates from the oral cavity and determined the killing rate of the most active fraction. This was with a view to providing scientific basis for the use of the root in the treatment of oral infections. The root of M. benthamianum was air-dried, ground to powder and macerated using 70 % ethanol with constant shaking with a mechanical shaker for 72 hours. The extract was concentrated in-vacuo at 50 oC using a rotary evaporator and freeze dried. The in-vitro susceptibility test was done with the ethanolic root extract and its partitioned fractions (petroleum spirit, chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous) on Staphylococcus aureus (NCIB 8588) and clinical isolates of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus salivarius, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans isolated from human oral cavity using the agar well diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the fractions was determined using the two fold agar dilution method at a range of 0.39 to 25 mg/ml for each fraction. The time-kill-assay for the most active fraction i.e. the ethyl acetate fraction was carried out on all the organisms. Bio-autographic assay was also carried out to find out the component that is responsible for its antimicrobial activities. The values obtained were subjected to inferential statistical analysis. The result showed that the ethanolic root extract had appreciable activity against all the test organisms at varying concentrations of 25 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml with increasing zones of inhibition as the concentration increased. The rank order for the activity of the partitioned fractions at the test concentration of 25 mg/ml was observed as ethyl acetate (20.6 mm-23.7 mm) > chloroform (14.7 mm-18.7 mm) > aqueous (13.7 mm-18.3 mm) and > petroleum spirit (11.3 mm-13.3 mm). The minimum inhibitory concentration gave a rank order of ethyl acetate (0.039 mg/ml) < chloroform (0.78 mg/ml-6.25 mg/ml) < aqueous (3.13 mg/ml-12.5 mg/ml) < petroleum spirit (6.25 mg/ml- 25 mg/ml). It was also observed that the activity of the ethyl acetate fraction was higher than the activity of the ethanolic extract at the same concentration of 25 mg/ml. The killing rate experiment showed that the ethyl acetate fraction had a rapid rate of action on the organisms at the test concentrations of 0.39 mg/ml (MIC concentration) and 0.78 mg/ml (MICx2). At concentration of 1.17 mg/ml (MICx3) the time of kill of all the organisms by the ethyl acetate fraction was ≤ 5 minutes, which was similar to the standard antibiotics used at their MIC values e.g. 0.039 mg/ml of Ampicillin and Tetracycline for the bacteria; and 0.078 mg/ml of Amphotericin B for the fungus used. The chromatographic result of the ethyl acetate fraction showed two distinct bands and the bio-autographic assay performed on the plate revealed that only one component (the upper band) proved effective in inhibiting all the test organisms. The study concluded that M. benthamianum ethanolic root extract was highly effective against oral isolates with its ethyl acetate fraction being the most active.

Following his arrest on DUI charges, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Louis Lipps was not able to attend the team’s Hall of Honor ceremony on the November 13-14 weekend.
Lipps, who was set to be inducted during the November 14 game at Heinz Field versus Detroit, said he didn’t want to be a “distraction.”
After his vehicle collided with a trailer in Mount Washington, a neighborhood across the Monongahela River from downtown Pittsburgh, the 59-year-old Lipps was detained and charged with driving under the influence on Saturday night.
Authorities say Lipps had blood alcohol level.235, over three times the legal limit, which is the reason behind the incident that took place recently. Former Steelers Jon Kolb, Carnell Lake, and the late Tunch Ilkin will also be honored during the event, which Lipps had planned to attend.
In a statement made by the team, Lipps remarked, “While I am flattered, humbled, and honored to be included for recognition along with the other former players who are also deserving of this special weekend, I do not want to be a distraction.”
Lipps has shown that he is willing to take full responsibility for his actions and his arrest on DUI charges, and the statement also included him saying, “I am committed to working through the consequences of what transpired and will continue to be an active part of this community and the Steelers’ alumni.”
Steelers president Art Rooney II said the team has shown appreciation towards Lipps’ “willingness to take responsibility for what transpired last weekend, and his decision not to attend the ceremonies this weekend.”
After being drafted with the 23rd overall choice in the 1984 draught, Lipps spent eight of his nine NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Lipps was a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first two seasons, finishing with 359 grabs for 6,019 yards and 39 touchdowns.

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen is keen to put the events of the Formula 1 season opener behind him.
Verstappen was the first retiree of the Austrian Grand Prix, exiting the race from a strong position on the medium tyres and keeping pace with Mercedes.
"I feel good but of course the result was not what we wanted, which was to score a good amount of points and fight for the win," said Verstappen.
"I was looking good for a podium which I thought was easily possible because it was basically between Mercedes and myself on raw pace. But then you also look at how the whole race panned out, we could have scored a good amount of points against Lewis but it is what it is, we can’t change it and now I’m looking forward to hopefully having a more positive weekend."
Mercedes was dominant in Austria, topping every session, but the Red Bull Ring kerbs provided an unwelcome challenge, seemingly causing damage to sensors within the Mercedes gearbox.
Racing Point, who also run the Mercedes gearbox, suffered similar problems, while Williams, who run the Mercedes power unit but not the gearbox, also ran into trouble.
Verstappen, who retired due to an electrical problem, added: "We were a bit down on pace compared to Mercedes in qualifying, so we definitely need to close that gap to fight them in that area rather than on strategy.
"Our pace is usually a bit better in the race than in quali but there is still quite a bit of work to do which the engineers are flat out on. We have ideas and the direction to work on for this weekend so that’s positive."

The two most famous Bulls in the world have been locking horns for years now, and it appears the personal problems between legendary duo Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen have extended beyond the basketball players themselves and all the way to the bedroom.
Multiple sources, including TMZ, have been following the story of Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, who is now dating the ex-wife of Jordan’s legendary teammate, Scottie Pippen. This story would be steamy enough for any soap opera already: You have the most famous basketball player of all time caught up (indirectly) in this entanglement.
The fact it also involves the superstar he is most closely associated with in his illustrious career adds even more heat to the situation.
Jordan and Pippen went down in history as perhaps the most explosive and versatile on-court duo ever, dominating on both offense and defense and winning six NBA championships with the Bulls in the 90s. Long and athletic, they both re-defined the role of perimeter players, while perfecting Coach Phil Jackson’s Triangle Offense. And in many ways, they were the sports franchise of the decade, with His Airness’s likeness appearing everywhere along the way.
But in recent years, Pippen has had some pretty unkind words for MJ, as he continues to tear away at their former friendship. Ever since the release of the documentary The Last Ride, Pip feels like he was downplayed in his portrayal. In essence, he’s upset that Michael Jordan (who was the Executive Producer of the series) gave himself almost all the credit for those six, shiny trophies.
But it’s Pippen’s ex-wife who now draws the ire of the floating man, who has made his feelings on the matter no secret.
When leaving a dinner at Paris’ Matignon, TMZ asked Jordan, now 60, about his son’s relationship with Pippen’s ex. He initially gave the media his trademark, MJ chuckle, but when asked whether he approved of it all, he responded: “No.”
Larsa Pippen has responded, and needless to say, she was hurt the statement’s made by the father of her significant other. Both she and Marcus have insisted that their relationship is genuine, but it’s still considered a little bizarre to many outside the couple’s inner circle. That, apparently, also extends to #23.
Speaking on Monday’s episode of her and Marcus’ Separation Anxiety podcast, Larsa, 49, said that she was “embarrassed” and “traumatized” after hearing the NBA Hall of Famer doesn’t approve of her romance with his 32-year-old son. While some of the comments were made tongue-in-cheek, Marcus said that his dad doesn’t quite have any real venom for his better half.
“I know my dad, and obviously my whole family, we’re so competitive, part of our DNA is to talk s***, it gets us going and gets us motivated,” Marcus stated. “And when I saw it immediately I thought, ‘He’s playing.’ He’s joking, he’s laughing. He’s just being playful, he’s a little lit, maybe off the Socorro (liquor).”
“Yeah,” Larsa replied, “I kind of felt like it went everywhere and I was kind of like embarrassed.”

Is that embarrassment her conscience talking? Only time will tell.
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen teamed for titles in the Windy City from 1991-93, and again from 1996-1998. Both are members of the Basketball Hall of Fame as well as the NBA All-75th Anniversary Team.

Emerging trends in the Industrial Greases Market
Grease, as defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is “a solid to semi-fluid product of a dispersion of a thickening agent in a liquid lubricant” (ASTM 1978). The production process as well as the overall technology used to produce industrial greases is quite advanced although the structure of industrial greases is very complex as they are composed of multiple semi-solid or solid substances whereas their final structure stays quite sticky. The article identifies the emerging opportunities for industrial greases and existing drawbacks and challenges that the market participants are aiming to address. The key legislative and environmental factors affecting the industrial greases market are evaluated. The article further focusses on identifying the growth opportunities for bio-based materials in the industrial greases market.
Industrial greases are one of the most important fluids extensively used by a large variety of industry branches. Their superior properties, durability as well as availability are highly appreciated by professionals. Since many years, different types of greases are employed to protect companies’ equipment and machinery. Therefore, it is interesting to analyze the changes as well as future market opportunities for a market that is on the one side continuously developing and is on the other side at a mature stage. Market maturity is monitored especially in the well-developed regions such as North America and Europe. In both regions, it is observed that the average consumption level is persisted at a relatively constant level, with a tendency to decrease year-by-year due to shifting of manufacturing base to developing countries such as BRIC and ASEAN countries.
Industrial greases, not yet considered as a highly performing component, are showing a systematic growth. Especially environment compliant vegetable oils such as rapeseed and soybean oils are popular in the global market. Increasing popularity of bio-based materials is mainly driven by environment- oriented regulations. Additionally, it is supported by technological improvements, distinctive for industrial greases. Innovative solutions attract the interest of new industry sectors that look for the best performing products which are not harmful to the environment. Technologies used for greases are already advanced; nevertheless, biogreases are still not good enough to compete with mineral or synthetic products.
2 Industrial Greases
2.1 Composition of Industrial Greases
Grease typically consists of three main components that include base oil, thickener and additives (Fig. 1). Base oil is considered as a fundamental grease component. In most greases sold today, refined paraffinic and/or naphthenic petroleum oils are utilized. However, an extensive range of synthetic oils or synthetic fluids is also employed. Synthetic oils that are typically based on poly-alphaolefins (PAOs), esters, poly-alkylene-glycols (PAG) and silicones are being chosen because of the specific properties they contribute to the industrial greases. For example, adding synthetic oils leads to a reduction or an increase of the operating temperature range. Additionally, these oils offer a good combination of performance characteristics and price. Moreover, the base oil used in grease production determines the type of industrial grease for end users. In general, three main groups of greases exist in the worldwide market (Fig. 2), i.e. mineral oil-based greases, synthetic and semi-synthetic oil-based greases as well as environmentallyfriendly greases.
Another crucial component used in greases is thickening agents, also called thickeners. Thickening agent can be a soap type or non-soap type. By adding it to a lubricating mixture, it increases its viscosity without substantially modifying its other properties such as lubricity. So, in general, thickener is a substance that, together with a fluid component, provides the solid or semi-fluid structure to grease. In total, there are many types of thickeners extensively used in the market of greases (Fig. 3). Additionally, from a technological perspective, grease can contain more than one thickening agent. Typically, such mixed and complex thickener- type greases are made of a combination of conventional lithium soap and a low molecular-weight organic acid used as complexing agent.
To sum up, one can observe that the most extensively used greases consists of salts of a fatty acid (soap) emulsified with mineral or synthetic base oil. As everybody who had the chance to work with greases knows that the most distinct feature of greases is their color and high initial viscosity, the type of thickener is normally the first decision making factor regarding the application. However, apart from base oil and thickener, the industrial grease has in its composition a third equally or even more important component. These are performance enhancing additives responsible for more individual and customized grease properties. These additives typically constitute up to 10% of the total grease weight, whereas the base oil can even account for 90% and thickening agents between 5% and 20%. Moreover, additives and the formulation behind additives are often kept confidential, protected by a number of patents. Additives play several critical roles in greases. They are able to enhance the existing desirable properties, suppress undesirable properties, and impart completely new ones. For instance, additives can improve the tolerance for extreme temperatures, pressure and even speed. So it is not surprising that these 10% of the grease weight distinguish one manufacturer from another and make one grease not compatible with other types.
Apart from these fundamental components, boundary lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide or graphite that reduces the friction can be suspended in the grease. These substances can suffer damages without adverse chemical reactions affecting metal surfaces during heavy loading and slow speeds.
2.2 Functions of Industrial Greases
So, what is the main role of greases? Why is grease so important for machinery? To answers this, one should understand the purpose behind designing industrial greases. In general, industrial greases’ main purpose is to minimize friction and wear between moving surfaces. A large number of greases currently available in the market are used in various rolling element bearings. Lower quantities are used in plain bearings, gearboxes and on open gears. Normally, grease for a given industrial application is expected to provide adequate lubrication to reduce friction and to prevent harmful wear of bearing components. Simultaneously, it protects surfaces in machinery against corrosion and acts as a seal that prevents access of dirt, moisture and water. Additionally, grease resists leakage, dripping or undesirable lose from the lubricated surfaces as well as intolerable change in structure or consistency in the bearing especially during prolonged service. Nowadays, industrial greases have suitable physical characteristics adjusted to their application area. They are compatible with seals and other types of materials of construction in the lubricated portion of the mechanism to maximize the comfort of working and the overall performance. Advanced industrial grease tolerates even certain degree of contamination, for instance moisture, without loss of its characteristics. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the point of view, there is no all-purpose grease. However, this increases the product variety and improves the competition between manufacturers. Otherwise there would be only one type of grease applicable everywhere. Isn’t it a too idealistic perspective? Maybe, but despite large investments to design the most innovative and the best performing multipurpose grease, modern premium quality multipurpose grease are able to meet between 70% and 75% of all applications where grease lubrication is required. For the remaining 25% to 30%, many different and often highly specialized types of grease are necessary. Does it mean that key manufactures were not able to develop grease applicable for 100% of all applications? As it was mentioned at the beginning of this article, industrial greases are technologically quite interesting and at the same time quite challenging. Moreover, requirements of different industries vary quite significantly.
When industrial grease is used, the base oils, whether it is mineral, synthetic or vegetable oil, the grease is gradually degraded by temperature and pressure in the work piece that is being lubricated. This degrade process will continue until the oil becomes carbonized, unless fresh lubricating grease is applied periodically. As the base oil oxidizes in service, it becomes a contaminant and mixes with the collapsing and degrading base to become socalled “used grease”. Typically it is extruded regularly as fresh industrial grease is added to the bearing or work piece. However, sometimes synthetic greases made of synthetic fluid rather than petroleum re required. Even though synthetic greases are affected in service in a similar way, they are characterized by high and/or low temperature capabilities and significantly longer service life. The extent of these capabilities strongly depends on the type of synthetic base oil, thickener type and enhancing performance additive formulation.
2.3 Market Overview
As greases are available in the market since 19th century, the market for industrial greases is quite old and mature. However, technological innovations and improvements are expected to boost market growth. For instance, Europe and North America are characterized by long-term experience and an extensive knowledge in this field. However, the most rapid growth at the moment is observed in emerging countries such as India, China and Brazil. It is crucial to mention that from the global perspective, the industrial grease market is highly competitive and dominated by key multinational corporations typically related to crude oil production.
Modern technologies, advanced equipment, environmental legislations as well as the application of new materials and systems are continuously demanding improvements equally in mature and emerging regions. Apart from innovation and advancement, the grease market struggles for solutions that are professionally adjusted to applications and specific customer needs. Due to inadequate recommendations, many customers still use grease incorrectly, especially at the wrong place, and thus destroying the overall performance of the grease and the equipment. Even if a grease supplier or distributor has a very wide range of greases, the selection is hardly ever a straight forward matter. The process of choosing the grease with the right physical and chemical properties for the application is quite complex.
The majority of industrial greases manufactured today predominantly uses mineral oil as fluid component. Mineral oil-based greases provide a satisfactory performance in many industrial applications and are less expensive in comparison to synthetic and semi-synthetic oil-based greases. Moreover, it is proven that in case of extreme temperatures, these greases provide better stability; however, they are less durable in comparison to other two types. While the mineral oilbase greases ac counted for 40.4% of the global industrial grease market revenue (in 2012) and are still dominant with regard to the volume consumed, synthetic oil-base greases are preferably employed in more severe or even quite exotic applications. In 2012, revenues for semi-synthetic and synthetic oil-based greases amounted to 55.6% of the global industrial grease market mainly due to higher prices (Fig. 4).
The most popular thickeners are metallic, mixed and complex-metallic soaps, which yielded 92% of the revenues generated by the global industrial grease market in 2012. Metallic soap thickener may include lithium, aluminum, barium, clay, polyurea, sodium, and calcium soaps. At present, lithium soap greases are the most dominating products in a global market that generated 52% of the global market revenues in 2012. Apart from the metallic soap greases, the complex thickenertype greases are rapidly gaining market popularity. These complex products often combine the conventional metallic soap with a complexing agent. One of the main reasons why these products are more and more appreciated by end users is related to their high dropping point and excellent load-carrying abilities.
Regarding the overall grease production cost, a significant proportion consists of the amount of soap that is required to achieve a certain National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) grade as its solvating power affects the amount of soap needed. Besides soap type greases, also non-soap thickeners such as bentonite and silica aerogel are systematically gaining attention from the key industry participants such as Klueber, Petrofer and Quaker. These products are typically required by end applications that use greases in equipment or machinery operating in an extremely high-temperature environment.
Additives decide about the product competitiveness in the market. Therefore, there is a large variety of highly innovative products that are added to industrial greases. At present, the most extensively used additives are oxidation and rust inhibitors, extreme pressure, anti-wear, and friction- reducing agents.
2.4 Market Growth Direction
In 2013, the total industrial grease market generated $1,169.3 million and it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6% between 2012 and 2019 (Frost & Sullivan 2014). This growth is relatively high despite of the increasing number of challenges, competition and legislative changes. The increasing need especially in emerging countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) for improved performance and reliability as well as the sheer speed at which technology is moving drives the growth of this highly attractive market. Despite the fact that the industrial grease market is rapidly developing and changing, the dominant end user sector is not changing much. For many years, typically machinery and heavy industry as well as the infrastructure sector constitute the largest segment in terms of applications of mineral greases and less often application of synthetic industrial greases. Other equally important, however smaller end-user segments include pulp and paper, aerospace, mining, food processing, and power generation. With regard to bio-based greases, they receive impressively increased attention for marine and food-grade applications.
Interestingly, there are a group of customers in the automotive, aviation and mining segments as well as machine designers or builders that require suitable lubricating greases regardless of whether such products are feasible, costly, and widely available or require special development and improved manufacture technology. These customers are strongly influencing the research and development and hence the innovativeness of industrial greases.
2.5 Stimulating Factors Affecting Industrial Grease Markets
Year-by-year the industry grease manufacturers are facing an increasing number of challenges, drivers and constraints. It is well-known that the industrial grease market is not a simple market. It is impacted by different factors that often vary depending on the situation and economy. The most influencing challenges are related to environmentally- oriented legislations, regulations and certificates. High environmental concerns drive the need for more advanced, effective, and safe industrial greases. Legislative requirements affect the grease composition as it is controlled how and where the greases are stored, especially the “used greases”. In this case legislative pressure accelerates the market growth; however, often significant legislative changes are problematic to small and mediumsized companies that do not hold a strong share in the market and are not strong enough to compete with larger manufacturers. Any change in composition extorted by legislation requires additional finances and delay in commercialization in the case when the product is registered. This legislative pressure, especially constantly tightening rules, restrains the immediate use of certain, innovative greases by end users. Other forces that accelerate the market growth combine the extensive range of industrial applications supported by technological improvements that introduce more sophisticated and efficient greases as well as awareness campaigns supporting bio-based products. The purpose is to increase the end users’ knowledge about the performance benefits of bio-greases. Most of them still consider environmentally friendly greases as detrimental in terms of performance.
There is one factor that in general accelerates the revenue market growth and at the same time restrains the volume consumed. This factor is the improved industrial grease quality. On the one side, higher quality products are attractive and appreciated in the market especially due to the extended durability and shelf life. So it became an advantage for higher quality industrial greases to last longer and be more effective. Because of this, end users do not need to replace these greases as often as is in the case of more conventional products. This clearly reduces the need for frequent grease replacement and parallel saves time, money and reduces the amount of used greases. Regarding restraining factors, the most meaningful one is the unstable economic situation. It influences the financial fluency of each of the industry sectors that apply greases. This often leads to reduced interest in more innovative and advanced industrial greases as manufacturers are skeptical and not willing to financially support research and development (R&D), especially at the time when everybody is looking for savings. Another restraint as it was mentioned earlier is caused by the fact that grease markets depend on the industrial customers and their overall market situation. The economic situation impacts the demand for different types of industrial greases as well as the need for certain equipment and grease replacement. Also high switching costs caused by typically low industrial grease compatibility lead to minimal willingness to switch to new products as well as to products offered by other manufacturers. It is quite comfortable to use the grease originally applied. However, when the whole equipment (and associated process chains) is immobilized, it is highly recommended to choose another grease.
At the end of the restraining factors list, there is competition. Competition not only results from multinational companies but also from cheaper and often lower quality products typically from Asia. Although the competition provides high entry barriers for new market entrants, it can be possible for the manufacturers of lower quality greases or customized products with limited availability to challenge these barriers. In the global grease market, often price is still the first decisive factor during decision making. The second one considers technology performance and innovativeness.
To conclude, it is still highly reasonable to expect a continued systematic growth of the global industrial grease market in the near. The same estimate is realistic for bio-based materials used to manufacture industrial greases.
2.6 Industrial Greases Market Trends
At the moment the most significant market trend is related to the fact that industrial greases are under a very strong pressure as they need to be developed for modern and often extremely demanding applications where high pressure, temperature and speed are the main requirements. Because of this, the manufacturers are continuously investing in new products and lubrication solutions by improving thickeners, additives and even based oils. This might be a potential opportunity for bio-based materials. Moreover, grease manufacturers are anticipating future demands and trends by following the direction of market development. High quality and innovative greases are significantly driving down maintenance costs and increasing the equipment as well as the whole production plant productivity. There is a general trend towards continuously improving the quality and performance of industrial greases as end users are more demanding. Simultaneously, advanced greases protect the equipment and machines better, enhance the reliability of working parts and improve the profitability. Therefore, major trends and developments are related to the fact that often the choice and adaptation of greases for the right application can be a huge challenge which needs to be addressed by manufacturers to meet the customers’ needs.
At the same time it is critical to guarantee the consistent product performance with in-depth support knowledge. A long life under high-temperature conditions and considerable low-temperature fluidity is required for industrial greases used in bearings of engine electrical components. Normally, semi-fluid greases offer a prolonged protection. Another product trend is related to increasing the number of plastic elements. As an increasing amount of plastic material instead of metals is used, especially for the purpose of weight-saving, synthetic hydrocarbon greases are used to avoid any adverse effects on plastics.
Further trends are caused by other new, often niche applications that require special greases fulfilling specific requirements, such as conductivity and vacuum conditions. The trend typical in most industries is to maintain their machines for longer periods without re-greasing, and thus, especially synthetic greases are considered to be the best solution. One can also find some grease that addresses multiple applications. Multi-purpose industrial greases are highly popular between manufacturers as these products cover a wide range of applications, simplifying maintenance and reducing customers’ stock levels. The high-temperature greases for the most severe conditions exhibit an increased popularity especially when we consider the well-established European and North American market.
2.7 Market Opportunities for Bio-based Materials
It can be monitored that there is a market opportunity for bio-based materials in the global market of grease production, especially for greases applicable in the marine sector and other environmentally sensitive areas. An increased availability and number of greases that are based on vegetable oils such as rapeseed and soybean oil can be observed. In 2012, oils based on rapeseed oil accounted for 26.5% and those based on soybean oil for 32% of the bio-based greases market. However, from the other side it seems that end users are not yet ready for such a drastic change, especially as the performance and durability require some additional developing effort. In addition, bio-based greases require the usage of comparably expensive raw materials which increases the overall price. As industrial grease end users quite price sensitive, they are not willing to pay for premium bio-based solution. To help to increase bio-based materials’ popularity in industrial grease markets, governmental and legislative rules are required. Additionally, reduced prices and improved performance will also support the market opportunities for bio-materials in greases. It is also critical to provide industrial greases that do not contain lead or heavy metals which are considered to be harmful to human health and the environment. Additionally, it almost became a rule to offer products that are biodegradable, non-toxic and hence not harmful to the environment. Non-biodegradable greases of any kind should always be handled with great care, particularly by avoiding any contact with the skin.
There is a constant drive in the industry to create machines that are smaller, more sophisticated, and compact. At the same time, the machinery industry are building parts to serve multiple purposes. Hence, when working parts and moving components are brought closer to one another, the heat released will be higher than it would be under normal circumstances. Therefore, more customized, innovative, and advanced industrial greases are expected to drive the market economy whereby high quality, environmentally suitable, and more durable, multi-functional and efficient industrial greases are the most important end user needs at the moment. Biodegradability is also an important characteristic but to be made of bio-based material is not so critical for greases at present. Some bio-greases are present in key industry participants’ product portfolios but they are often established for marketing purposes to demonstrate the manufacturer’s willingness to be flexible and sustainable. Realistically saying, the industry seems to have no room for less effective products; therefore, industrial customers have to wait a few years before biobased greases can offer equally attractive properties to those that currently dominate the global market. However, new regulations and requirements, environmentally suitable or acceptable standards, engine hardware changes, and the extension of oil drain intervals will put additional pressure on industrial grease manufacturers to increase the performance, durability, and robustness of greases as mechanical equipment operating conditions are becoming harsher as well.
There is an overall large potential for bio-greases; however, improving their performance will largely depend on manufacturers’ promotions backed up by the necessary government policies that can enforce the usage of bio-lubricants in key areas such as hydropower plants.

“Collina’s heirs” are satisfied
Hertha loses – and praises judge Ittrich
By Alex Feuerherdt
In Berlin, the referee has to make several close and difficult decisions in an emotionally charged game that is very important to the hosts. But he does this job with a lot of sovereignty. Even from Hertha losing the match, there is praise afterwards.
In his so far 62 matches as a referee in the Bundesliga, Patrick Ittrich has undoubtedly led less eventful and easier matches than Saturday night at the Berlin Olympic Stadium between Hertha BSC and 1. FSV Mainz 05 (1: 2). The 43-year-old, whose main job is a police officer, had to evaluate a large number of difficult scenes in this game together with his assistants on the field and in the Cologne video center. And that in front of more than 70,000 spectators in a match that was of eminent importance, especially for the relegation-threatened hosts. An analysis of the most important decisions in chronological order.
35 minutes: Mainz ‘Anton Stach pulls from 22 yards as the score is 1-0 to his team, the ball hitting the bottom right corner of the Hertha goal from his perspective. But there was an idea to it – the misdirected ball was turned into a cross towards Leaderro Borreiro, who was waiting for it in the box. judgment joins them to Ittrich. So hit does not count.
An eagle eye assistant
Above all, the repetition behind the goal shows that the decision was correct. Barreiro was in offside position a few meters from Lotka, covered the goalkeeper’s view of the ball in a short but crucial moment and also made an elusive move away from the ball. So to put it in the language of the rules, he clearly became active and thus degraded the home team’s goalkeeper, who also reacted with a noticeable delay and had no chance of getting the ball.
From the assistant’s side view, it is difficult to assess whether the goalkeeper’s line of sight is blocked and to what extent a player’s offside movement actually affects him. Goals like Mainz are often given first and canceled only after intervention by VAR and a review on the field. But Thielert is one of the best in his field and has not only experience with 360 matches as an assistant in the first two German leagues, but also a very good sense of game situations, especially in offside. His hit rate is similarly high, even when difficult decisions have to be made.
Authorized punishment for Hertha
45 + 1 Minute: Berlin’s Marton Dardai hits the ball in front of the Mainz goal with a corner kick, several players go to the ball, the guests clarify the situation. Hertha’s captain, Dedryck Boyata, however, falls to the ground and holds his left foot with a painful face. The turmoil in front of the Mainz goal was confusing, but a review of the scene by video assistant Tobias Welz showed the cause of Boyata’s suffering: Moussa Niakhaté had put his foot on his opponent’s left heel, which is why Boyata did not. came either to the headline.
Referee Ittrich, who could not see the kick on the court, looks again at the images on the screen in the review area and then recognizes a penalty kick. Rightly so, because even though it was not a deliberate act by Niakhaté, it was a mistake that prevented Boyata from getting to the ball close to goal. Mainz coach Bo Svensson, who is protesting violently, first gets an explanation for the decision from Ittrich on the sidelines, then he is warned. This is the coach’s seventh yellow card of the season. Davie Selke converted the penalty kick to 1: 1.
52 minutes: For the second time that night, a Mainz goal was canceled. Karim Onisiwo won over Marc-Oliver Kempf in the hosts’ penalty area and shot the ball into goal, but before that he touched the ball briefly with both his left hand and right upper arm in a duel. Whether it is deliberate or not, it does not matter whether the player in question scores immediately afterwards – this is what the rules say. Referee Ittrich has a clear overview of the situation and immediately sees the handballs, which are not easy to recognize. He does not need VAR’s help to reject the goal.
Tousart is lucky, Selke is unfairly shocked
72 minutes: After a cross into Hertha’s penalty area, there is a header duel between Lucas Tousart from Berlin and Stefan Bell from Mainz. Tousart hits the opponent behind with his left arm in the face while jumping for the ball. Both players miss the ball, which Mainz ‘Jonathan Burkardt gets instead and heads into the arms of goalkeeper Lotka. Ittrich lets the game continue, Bell stays where he is and will be treated in the next break.
On the recommendation of VAR Tobias Welz, there was a review on the pitch for the second time that night, but Ittrich then stuck to his decision not to award a penalty kick to Mainz. This decision is supported by the fact that Tousart was in a natural motion to gain speed, only oriented himself towards the ball and made no swinging movements; on the other hand speaks that there was a clear hit in the face of Bell. Overall, the decision not to award a penalty kick is still sound when you weigh it.
90 + 1 Minute: Also in extra time – Mainz now leads 2-1 – the impartial are challenged again. After a short tussle with the defender, Davie Selke finally tucked the ball home. Seven minutes into the game, Patrick Ittrich seemed to suffer a certain amount of confusion and they fell to a passable level of organization. Selke used both arms to create the necessary space against Aaron in front of the header and gave Mainzer a push. The referee also signals the horrified Hertha player with gestures, so he makes his decision transparent.
Praise to the judge, even from the loser
Selke himself said in an interview with Sky after the match: “If it’s a mistake, then a center-forward scores eight fewer goals a year.” Hertha manager Fredi Bobic, who was active in the attack when he was a player, however, took Ittrich’s side. “As a striker you must not attack with both hands, you can also whistle the free kick,” he says. Ittrich himself repeats his decision in the Sky interview and points out that offenses such as bumping and holding are often clearer in real speed on the track than in slow motion on TV, which distorts the dynamics.
The decision to rate Selke’s use of the arm as illegal is correct or at least justified, even though Aaron went down more spectacularly than necessary. Because the whistle sounded before the ball went in goal, VAR was no longer allowed to intervene – but one can assume that he would not have done it anyway, because the decision was certainly not clear and obviously wrong.
Patrick Ittrich ultimately made the right decision in all difficult, game-relevant situations, which Fredi Bobic also saw, who despite the defeat had praise for the referee: “What he whistled was always right.” In addition, the referee, who belongs to the Hamburg club Mümmelmannsberger SV, once again played to his great strength: the communicative communication of decisions, including and especially the controversial ones. Even in emotional situations, he did so with sovereignty. And then Davie Selke said, despite all his rage, about the cancellation of his goal: “I really like Patrick.”


Maria Robsahm(Redirected from Maria Carlshamre)
Maria Robsahm (before June 2008 Maria Carlshamre; born Maria Kelldén on 3 February 1957 in Enköping) is a Swedish politician and was a Member of the European Parliament from 2004 to 2009. She was elected as a member of the Liberal People's Party, part of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe. However, she defected to Feminist Initiative on 1 March 2006.
She sat on the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality. She was also a substitute for the Committee on Culture and Education and a member of the Delegation to the EU-Moldova Parliamentary Cooperation Committee.
Robsahm was convicted of accounting irregularities in August 2005, following the bankruptcy of a company owned jointly by herself (then known as Maria Carlhamre) and her former husband. She was given a suspended sentence. As a result of her conviction, the leadership of the Liberal People's Party called on her to resign from her seat in the European Parliament. Instead, she left that party and joined Feminist Initiative. This move received some Swedish media attention for the fact that one of the two co-leaders of Feminist Initiative, Gudrun Schyman, had been convicted on another finance-related crime, tax evasion.

Three firsts for Audi
Audi has won three coveted international awards in the 30th Auto Trophy poll.
30 November, 2017
The 30th Auto Trophy poll, conducted by AUTO ZEITUNG has seen Audi take three coveted first place awards in 2017. Voted on by more than 40,000 readers of the influential publication, the awards carry tremendous weight within the automotive community and are greatly anticipated each year.
In 2017, a total of 260 models in 15 categories were in the running for the ‘Auto Trophy 2017’ awards, with Audi claiming top honours for two of its outstanding SUV vehicles, and a fourth award for its overall design excellence.
The new Q2 added yet another award to its already impressive list, claiming the ‘Best SUV up to €25,000’ against 22 other competitors. While the Audi Q7 picked up 16.1 percent of the votes in the ‘Best luxury SUV’ category, leading the pack of 13 fellow competitors by a significant margin.
Audi CEO Rupert Stadler commented on the increasing importance of outstanding SUV vehicles when he accepted the prize from Volker Koerdt, Editor-in-Chief of AUTO ZEITUNG.
“Both of these awards affirm the enormous interest of our customers in SUV models – from the Audi Q2 with its youthful character to the Audi Q7 with its luxury class comfort,” he said. “By the middle of the next decade, roughly one of every two Audi vehicles we deliver will be an SUV.” As well as winning these major category awards, Audi was also recognised for its design, taking out the prize for the ‘Best design worldwide’.
Speaking at the presentation, Audi design chief Marc Lichte said:
“At Audi the design always expresses Vorsprung durch Technik. Progressive design is distinguished by the complete harmony of form and function – a perfect solution that impresses with its simplicity.”
These latest three Auto Trophy awards brings Audi’s tally to 79 in the history of the awards.
"Progressive design is distinguished by the complete harmony of form and function – a perfect solution that impresses with its simplicity."

They failed to consider how grotesque Clinton herself appeared to these same Republican women. The authors quote pollster Wes Anderson to establish a point that sums up these voters and their decision process: “These women may not have decided to vote for Trump until late in the race, but most had decided much earlier that they were definitely not voting for Clinton.” For many, Clinton’s stances on issues like abortion and gun rights ruled her out from the beginning. Many others were repelled by her inauthenticity and dishonesty.
It is difficult to describe Trump as a workingman, but he sounds like a workingman.
.. The man had inherited millions and was worth billions, but somehow he sounded like he understood the plight of people whose pleas were not heard in Chappaqua. Meanwhile, the Democrats increasingly became associated with the non-working class, identifying more with the lifelong welfare recipient than with the worker whose taxes pay for that government program.
.. “I used to think that the Republican party stood for country-club folks in nice suburban homes who talked about bottom lines and stock prices. Not anymore; they are for the blue-collar worker, they are for me, and the irony is not lost on me.”
.. “Big banks, big media, big corporations, I want nothing to do with them,” one man said. Another linked the what Justice Louis Brandeis called the “curse of bigness” to a culture of dependency: “We are Americans, that means something, that means figuring it out without the government giving us free stuff, without the big banks and big companies making us need them so much, and not feeling as though we are entitled to something once we get it.”
.. The confusing part for those who do not buy it is that it makes Trump the representative of the little guy. That is harder to swallow than William Jennings Bryan’s leadership of the 1890s populists. It clearly wrong-footed the Clinton camp, as evidenced by the supreme effort taken to remind the voters just how often Trump had shortchanged, bamboozled, and defrauded various little guys in his long business career.
.. With Clinton as the obvious representative of the Left’s establishment, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and the rest as representatives of the Right’s establishment, and Trump as the eager antagonist of both, the answer was clear to many forgotten men and women: This guy, whatever his past, is in my corner.

Partly based on the author's own experiences at the famous Manhattan high school for the performing arts, this novel explores friendship, freedom, and the art of challenging convention.
Set in New York in the 1980s, this story of two ballet dancers (one American, one Russian) recounts the unforgettable night they spend in the city, and celebrates the friendship they form despite their cultural and political differences.


Malaysian state-run oil and gas giant Petronas has dished out two front-end engineering and design contracts for a nearshore floating liquefied natural gas project in Sabah, East Malaysia.
Petronas revealed on Wednesday that it had awarded FEED contracts on the project to Italy’s Saipem as well as to a consortium involving Japan’s JGC and South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries.
The announcement confirms reports by Upstream last week that the JGC-Samsung consortium and Saipem were set to face off in the FEED competition.
The FEED competition is expected to take about 10 months to complete, with the winner to be rolled over to the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning phase, subject to a final investment decision being made, which is expected by the end of 2022.
Petronas claims the nearshore LNG project will be a first of its kind in Malaysia, and will have a minimum capacity of 2 million tonnes per annum.
“The development of Sabah’s first nearshore LNG plant reflects our technological expertise where we continue to innovate modern solutions to monetise gas resources in an optimised and environmental-friendly manner,” said Petronas chief executive of gas and new energy, Adnan Zainal Abidin.
Petronas states the design and construction of the nearshore plant has the potential for improved production uptime as it will be located within a protected bay area as compared to an offshore FLNG facility in the open seas.
It is understood the FLNG vessel used for the Sabah project will be a barge-based floating liquefaction facility moored to a jetty, with the development to also include an onshore substation, a new jetty head and trestle at the jetty of Petronas’ Chemicals Fertiliser facility at the Sipitang Oil & Gas Industrial Park, as well as offshore and onshore pipelines and the FLNG itself.
Upon completion, the nearshore LNG plant will increase Petronas’ LNG production from FLNG facilities from 2.7 million tpa to 4.7 million tpa.
The Malaysian giant currently operates two FLNG vessels — the PFLNG Satu and PFLNG Dua, at the Kebabangan and Rotan offshore gas fields respectively.
