Facts about the ASTM E2412 Standard Test Method
The ASTM E2412 test method is a standard practice for Condition Monitoring of Used Lubricants by Trend Analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometry. It covers the use of FT-IR in monitoring additive depletion, contaminant buildup and base stock degradation in machinery lubricants, hydraulic fluids and other fluids used in normal machinery operation.
ASTM E2412 diagnoses the operational condition of the machine based on fault conditions observed in the oil. The results allow operators to replace oil as necessary. (Andreas Schwarzmann, R&D)
Results of ASTM E2412 can be combined with TA, TBN and viscosity data, and give detailed and extensive conclusions on the quality of oil. The test method is not designed for the analysis of lubricant composition, lubricant performance or additive package formulations.
The wavenumber for this test method and multiple lubricant types ranges from 3000 to 1090 cm‾¹, but the exact absorbance intensity will depend on the spectral resolution and the pathlength of the used cell. The maximum absorbance for petroleum based lubricants ranges from 3000 to 2800 cm‾¹ (or transmittance value close to 0 %T). The maximum absorbance for ester based lubricants ranges from 1390 to 1090 cm‾¹ (or transmittance value close to 0 %T).

Ugandan community dance troupe support Qatar’s FIFA World Cup entertainment
‘We’ve united people, broken down social barriers and bridged the gap between different cultures’
H.E. Hassan Al Thawadi, SC Secretary General, assesses the impact of Qatar 2022
H.E. Hassan Al Thawadi said hosting the FIFA World Cup™ in Qatar had united people from different cultures and backgrounds during a special event organised by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Titled ‘The Power of Innovation for a Post-Pandemic World’, the event was held at Katara Cultural Village in Doha and focused on ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing at all ages, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The event was attended by H.E. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Dr. Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Qatar’s Minister of Public Health, Bill Gates, Co-Founder of Microsoft and Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, FIFA World Cup Ambassadors David Beckham and Nadia Nadim, and football legends Didier Drogba and Michael Essien. The event also looked at how innovation in medicine and science can help prevent a global pandemic in the future.
“Our ambitions for this tournament were grand and I’m proud to say we have been able to achieve them. Uniting people, breaking down social barriers and bridging the gap between East and West are all part of the legacy of staging the first FIFA World Cup in the Middle East and Arab world,” said Al Thawadi, Secretary General, SC, and Chairman, FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 LLC.
Al Thawadi, who was speaking to Al Jazeera news anchor Folly Bah Thibault, continued: “We’ve always said that we need more platforms to bring people together from different backgrounds, different walks of life, different beliefs and different ideas to get together and understand that we don’t necessarily have to agree on things but we can still progress and co-exist in a positive way. This World Cup has been able to achieve that. We have seen the exchange of culture, whether it’s in terms of food, clothes or having a life-changing experience.”
With only four matches to go, Qatar has delivered a groundbreaking edition of the tournament. As well as being the first FIFA World Cup in the region, Qatar 2022 is also the most compact edition of the event in modern history, allowing fans to attend more than one match a day. It has also delivered numerous legacy programmes related to human, social, economic and environmental projects.
Al Thawadi said major sporting events have a special ability to unite people from across the globe.
“Global sporting events have a spark that inspires us all. What we need to do is ensure this spark doesn’t just remain in Qatar – but across the Middle East and around the world. It has broken down stereotypes and created bonds. Our responsibility, no matter who we are, is to take that spark and start planting the seed internationally because we need more opportunities to bring people together as a global community. For me, that’s one of the biggest legacies of this World Cup.”
Al Thawadi also spoke of his pride in delivering the first global event attended by millions of fans since the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This World Cup was a global gathering of people from different walks of life to celebrate a sport we all have a passion for,” he said.

With high quality sound comparable to more expensive models, the AT-F7 offers exceptional value and performance, which delights those who appreciate the sound quality of analog discs.
The high rigidity VC mold combined with potassium titanate minimizes unnecessary vibrations
The VC structure that holds the coils in place is made of a hard resin, which is combined with potassium titanate for greater strength and rigidity. The result is less weight and an unprecedented reduction in unnecessary vibrations.
Diameter of stainless suspension wire
The AT-F7 uses a stainless suspension wire of 0.07 mm in diameter, which plays an important role as a fulcrum for transferring the audio signal. This stainless steel wire is used for top quality MC type cartridges. This stabilizes the position of the fulcrum and allows auditory lateralization to provide an excellent expression of the high frequency range.
Neodymium magnet for greatly increased magnetic energy
The neodymium magnet provides maximum energy (BHmax of 50 [kJ / m3]), while the pure iron yoke offers excellent magnetic properties. Together, they also boast the concentrated magnetic field in the area of the coil gap.
PCOCC used for coils and terminal pins
PCOCC does not cause crystalline resistance in the transmission direction, allowing the
audiophiles to enjoy broadcasts as well.
Double moving coil with high separation and wide response
Our exclusive moving coil cartridge has a basic structure in which a cylindrical spool is used for the left channel and another for the right channel. This structure by which energy is generated independently for the left and right channels physically offers exceptional separation characteristics. The loss of signals from one channel to another exerts a decisive influence on the stereo extension and the sound quality. This is because this loss is equivalent to creating an irregular cross modulation. The reason why the dual moving coil system offers such clear and precise sound quality is undoubtedly due to the naturally excellent separation of the system. The AT-F7 features a reverse V-shaped formation for the two left and right coils to reduce the vibration mass seen from the tip of the stylus.
Durable construction dedicated to achieving greater rigidity
Using a strong precision aluminum alloy as a base, the body structure is made of hard resin which minimizes the parasitic resonance. This allows greater rigidity and improves the signal-to-noise ratio.


We are happy to announce that our own brand Healthy Seas Socks made a limited edition collection with the one and only World Wide Fund for Nature! Together with WWF we support the cleanup of our oceans.
As a brand of Star Sock, Healthy Seas Socks made this new collection out of GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) organic cotton combined with lost and abandoned fishing nets from the ocean. Together with Healthy Seas and Ghost Diving, Healthy Seas Socks turns so-called ghost nets into regenerated nylon which are used in the socks. And this process is urgent, because every year about 700.000 tons of ghost gear ends up in our ocean. The deadliest form of plastic pollution for our marine animals, because they easily get stuck in these nets.
The limited edition collection shows that we’re stronger together. Together with WWF we contribute to cleaner oceans and furthermore, a part of the revenu will be donated to projects to protect our nature by WWF. With WWF x Healthy Seas Socks you contribute to our nature in multiple ways!
The WWF x Healthy Seas Socks Limited Edition collection is now available at healthyseassocks.com.

In an interview with Shanghaiist, Leta Hong Fincher discusses the way China’s real estate boom has shortchanged women, the main focus of her Tsinghua PhD dissertation:
[…I]n the interviews that I did with men and women in their twenties and early thirties, I found that gender norms really are evolving. So, the younger generation really does believe in more gender equality. They do have more gender-equalitarian beliefs on the whole. I mean, obviously there are a lot of exceptions, but I would say that the younger generation on the whole is more progressive, especially in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai.
What I argue, though, particularly in my dissertation where I really focus on residential real estate, [is that] the real estate boom following China’s privatization of housing has led to resurgence of gender inequality and created new forms of really stark gender inequality in wealth, because there’s this inextricable link between marriage and home-buying in China. So, when a young couple decides to get married, the norm is that they’re supposed to buy a home in the private market. And that’s when the older generation’s traditional patriarchal beliefs come into play. Buying a home is an extremely complicated financial transaction. And, because homes are so exorbitant now, it is virtually impossible for a young person to buy a home on their own. They have to rely on the heavy financial input from their parents or elders. And so, basically what happens is that you have to have the pooling of family assets to buy a home, and when you come to these vast quantities of money, where the parents and the elders have been saving and scraping their whole lives, that combines with a whole bunch of different norms. One is the norm that the man is supposed to be the official breadwinner and that the woman doesn’t need to own property.
Another norm is basically a myth that is propagated by the state media in collaboration with the real estate developers and the matchmaking industry. They spread the myth that a man has to own a home in order to attract a bride. Which is why so many parents invest so heavily in buying their sons a home, and then they don’t help their daughter buy a home. In my research, I found just a very consistent, a shockingly consistent pattern, when there’s a son and a daughter, the parents buy a home for the son and they don’t for the daughter. But I also found cases even more disturbing, where the parents don’t even have a son, they have an only daughter and rather than help their daughter buy a home, even though she wants one, they help their nephew buy a home. That is a really big part in the creation of the huge gender wealth gap. [Source]

The Seoul Fingerprint Coasters have become the best seller of NAKD SEOUL. This unique piece of artwork features the map of Seoul printed on a concrete coaster. We at NAKD SEOUL feel it’s more art than coaster though, and just for $30, it’s easy to see why it’s become the most popular item on our service. In celebration, we’ve interviewed the CEO of the brand behind the coaster: Tablework’s Kim Jongchan.
A. I majored in architecture in university before starting Tableworks. As a hobby I made lighting from cement, glass bottles and LEDs, and some people contacted me wanting to buy them. This gave me the idea of starting my own workshop. I honestly didn’t have the guts to quit from a job, so I just decided to start my business instead. It was ruthless, but I thought “if I fail, I’ll just end up at a construction firm.” I took my deposits out from my room and started researching five years ago. That was the start of Tableworks.
A. Concrete has been used by humanity for thousands of years, however they were never really used as materials for objects. However using molds and 3D printers, we can create objects more uniform and freely than with ceramic or wood. Plus, by using such a different material, it gave ordinary objects an entirely new feel.
A. Our design philosophy is to reinterpret ordinary things into new ways. We make pieces from concrete, material used for construction. We transform the rough texture into a smooth, and sleek material.
The Seoul Fingerprint Coasters were inspired from how many of the daily commuters in Seoul did not know the road patterns of the city even though they were traversing through it everyday. I thought this was something that could be reinterpreted in a new way, and we did so by turning it into a coaster instead of a paper map.
A. We have many more pieces made of concrete that we have yet to have shown. Our next product will be an object inspired by Hanok (Traditional korean houses). We can’t wait to show it to everyone at NAKD SEOUL. Thank you!

text: The performance of a whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) for producing physically and chemically stable omega-3 emulsions was compared to hydrolysates obtained from other sustainable protein sources such as soy (SPH) and blue whiting (BPH). The oxidative stability of hydrolysate-stabilized emulsions was greatly influenced by their physical stability. Emulsion stabilized with BPH suffered a constant increase in droplet size and BPH was not able to prevent omega-3 oxidation, showing high concentration of volatiles. The peroxide value of SPH emulsion increased after the first day of storage, but it had a lower concentration of volatiles. In contrast, WPH-stabilized emulsion, which did not had any change in droplet size during storage, showed the highest oxidative stability. Therefore, our results confirmed that WPH is an interesting option for physical and oxidative stabilization of omega-3 emulsions, while SPH could be used in emulsions with shorter storage time such as pre-emulsions for microencapsulation of omega-3 oils.

Solyndra could serve as a textbook case for the dangers of government trying to turn investor, mixing ideology, economics and the appearance of favoritism. The Department of Energy’s $535 million loan guarantee also seems to echo Massachusetts’ own failed investment in luring Evergreen Solar to Devens.
As The Wall Street Journal reported, Solyndra, which manufactured solar panels and was a poster child for President Barack Obama’s green jobs push, is now being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation over allegations that executives knowingly misled the government to secure the loan guarantee.
These are currently just allegations and Solyndra executives are innocent until proven guilty, but the matter is further complicated by the fact that the company had financial ties with the White House, even as the Department of Energy cut corners in its grant program to more quickly fund Solyndra.
No one has suggested that Evergreen Solar was funding Governor Deval Patrick’s campaign, but going through hundreds of pages of e-mails, reports and other documents released by MassDevelopment suggests a similar eagerness to make the deal work, one way or another.
For example, in a memo to MassDevelopment’s Board of Directors, concerns were raised about spending funds directly on the Evergreen site. The decision was made to use those particular funds should be used for the off-site infrastructure upgrades needed to support the Devens factory, and then to reimburse Evergreen for the loss of those grant funds through special Investment Tax Credits:
As the details of the design of Evergreen’s manufacturing facility became known, certain concerns were raised about the application of some of the above funding sources to the project. Following a meeting initiated by MassDevelopment to discuss sources and uses of public funds, the program coordinators for the CDAG and PWED programs suggested that those funds should be used for infrastructure work off of the Evergreen site rather than on it. As a result, it was decided that those grants should be given to MassDevelopment directly for off-site infrastructure work, and that Evergreenwould be “compensated” for the loss of the grant funds by receiving redeemable investment tax credits (“ITC”) through legislation, similar to what Bristol-Myers Squibb received for its manufacturing facility at Devens, albeit on a far smaller scale. The Massachusetts Office of Business Development (“MOBD”) decided to cap the “redeemable” portion of the ITC at $2,500,000.
This sort of attention and care is paid again and again to ensuring that, no matter the hurdles, Evergreen Solar gets the grants, but surprisingly little attention is paid to the financial health and viability of the company. Almost lost within the hundreds of pages is a Standard & Poor’s report on Evergreen, which rates the qualitative risk of the company as “High,” reflecting the “highly competitive nature of Evergreen’s business, the relatively early stages of the business cycle for alternative energy sources, and a high degree of execution risk in the major expansion of the EverQ partnership and in plans to build a second U.S. plant” (Emphasis added).
Hindsight is 20/20, but this was written in 2007, years in advance of Evergreen’s collapse. The brief marks on MassDevelopment’s printed report cherry pick its few highlights: A note that Evergreen believes regulation and fossil fuel supply constraints will demand new sources of energy, and that Evergreen has a “polysilicon supply pact which stretched into period when we see polysilicon more available.”
“The promise of clean energy isn’t just an article of faith,” President Obama said when he visited the ill-fated Solyndra plant. Unfortunately, for both Solyndra and Evergreen, it is hard to see what beyond blind faith prompted these ill-fated investments of millions of taxpayer dollars.

London, 1st September 2015 - Only 50% of the UK’s small and medium sized business owners use internet security to protect their organisations from cyber attack, exposing them to data loss and disruption which could even threaten their survival, according to new research from Trend Micro.
As a trusted advisor to the UK’s SMBs, Trend Micro decided to take a closer look at their attitudes to online threats, polling 500 decision makers and business owners as part of UK Small Business Week.
The results were shocking. While just half said they used internet security products to stay safe online, only 44% claimed they knew how to check if their PC, tablet or mobile had malware on it.
This is despite the fact that only one quarter (24%) of respondents said they thought online threats are too complex to deal with. A further 99% claimed they understand how important it is to spend money on internet security software. Also of concern was the fact that 67% of SMBs admitted they didn’t fully understand the financial implications of an online security breach – a figure which rose to 74% hen considering the legal implications of a successful attack.
Worryingly, just 18% said they thought their business data was worth stealing. Yet cybercriminals have proven that they are increasingly willing to target smaller organisations, in the belief that these firms are usually less well defended. Even the UK government has recognised the problem, launching a £1m “vouchers scheme” in July designed to offer micro, small and medium-sized businesses up to £5,000 for specialist advice to improve their defences.
It’s right to do so. Nearly 4 in 10 (38%) SMBs said an attack would impact their business straightaway while almost half (46%) said it would do so within the day, according to the Trend Micro research.
Small and mid-sized businesses are the life-blood of the UK economy, according to the CBI.
They account for 99.9% of the private sector and provide 60% of jobs in the sector. What’s more, the combined annual turnover of SMEs was £1.6 trillion as of last year, 47% of turnover in the private sector, according to BIS.
“One of the main things that SMBs need to be aware of is their regulatory and legal obligations with regards to data security”, said Bharat Mistry, Cyber Security Consultant at Trend Micro. “It’s important to have breach response plan that tells staff what to do in the event of a data breach – the process to follow, who to contact etc”
Note to editors
The research was conducted on behalf of Trend Micro via Vital Statistics – sampled 500 UK business owners and decision makers in August 2015.

As Americans wait in line at gas pumps across the country, many will see for the first time how devastating cyber attacks can be on our way of life. While these attacks against our country have been going on for decades, the seriousness of this recent attack on one of America’s largest gas pipelines should serve as a wakeup call for our nation.
For all practical purposes, any cyber attack against our nation’s critical infrastructure – infrastructure that Americans depend on for their way of life – should be viewed as a major terrorist attack, and receive an equally strong response from our government.
As a congressman and now senator, I have made several observations: First, the vast majority of cyber attacks originate from hostile countries, namely China and Russia.
Second, federal agencies and private businesses continue to lack coordination, often not sharing enough information and solutions on how to fight off Russian and Chinese hackers intent on stealing intellectual property and trade secrets.
We let these cyber terrorists go unpunished, and pay little or no attention to their failed attempts and successful attacks. They steal our intellectual property, trade secrets and classified information with zero consequence. We continue to remain reactive, rather than proactive. This inaction is not consistent with American justice and values.
Sadly, America’s indifference to these attacks from our adversaries proves to them, “if the bank vault is open, the gold is ours for the taking.”
On the other side of the coin is how America will deal with cyber terrorism coming from within our adversaries’ borders, but denied by their leaders. One should realize nothing happens within Russia and China’s borders without the government and military knowing, and usually abetting. Does anyone really believe a major cyber attack carried out in Russia against American critical infrastructure without Vladimir Putin turning a blind eye? The common sense answer is of course not.
Similar to some nations allowing terrorist operations to exist and grow within their borders, China and Russia turn their eyes away from their own cyber terrorists; actively promoting a culture of theft and sabotage that benefits these organized crime organizations.
We need an all of government approach, to engage, solve and punish those who would try to engage in cyber attacks. And, if the Kremlin and Chinese Communist Party have nothing to do with the hackers within their borders, then I’m sure they would be more than happy to extradite these terrorists to America so they can be prosecuted to the fullest.
The terror attack on our infrastructure last week once again shows why it is so important that any infrastructure plan Congress considers not only builds stronger and more dependable critical infrastructure for our country but also creates resiliency and protects it from future cyber attacks. This could include building vital lifelines for our economy – such as the 14 interstate gas pipelines pending final approval at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Congress must make it a top priority to ensure new infrastructure is able to fight off cyber attacks such as the ransomware attack used by hackers to extort Colonial Pipeline.
It could also include greater coordination between the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and our National Network of Fusion Centers, state-owned centers that share information on threats to our homeland security between the intelligence community, state governments and private sector. Those in the private sector first need to be able to trust the federal government when it comes to sharing cyber information. The future of deterring cyber attacks will depend on a whole of government approach working hand in hand with businesses.
Focusing on the future is the only way to ensure Americans are once again energy independent and have reliable, dependable and affordable energy. We have to strike back to deter future cyber terrorism – and create peace through strength on this new, cyber war front. The U.S. cannot idly stand by while we are attacked and taken advantage of. We will punish our enemies and hold them accountable, whether they hide in a cave or behind a computer. Our safety and security depends on it.

I seriously am hoping to set up my art business, especially since I now know how to build a website using HTML. My plan for the business will first start out small, an online operation. All the work will be done by me (unless I ask for some assistance by a friend which means we'll have to split the profit evenly). I'll be selling my work, or displaying as well as taking project requests.

It's a lot yes, However, this is my future goal for my business. Right now I'm mainly taking Drawing Requests, Graphic Design Requests or smaller projects. Especially if you or you know someone who needs help with advertising, feel free to let me know!

The rest of Salma’s outfit consisted of jeans, a black blazer and cat-eye sunglasses.
Meanwhile her little girl, whose father is French billionaire François-Henri Pinault, was wearing a black jacket and matching boots along with grey leggings and a cute pink headband.

Last month, work was insane.
I traveled out of town nearly every week. And when I was in the office, I worked some decently late hours.
It was a stressful time for both me and my family.
Thankfully, October is already looking to be a better month so I’ll just chalk it up to the insanity of meeting my year-end sales goals.
I’m happy to say that frantic September is not the norm at my job. My employer challenges me and asks a lot of me, but also gives me the freedom to enjoy other parts of my life.
But that crazy month got me thinking … Do I have a good work-life balance?
What does a good work-life balance really mean anyway?
Satisfaction Over Balance
Serendipitously, a colleague of mine handed me the book Off Balance by Matthew Kelly in the midst of my crazy September.
The book took my questions on work-life balance and shed some light on a different way of thinking. Kelly recommends that instead of striving for work-life balance, we should make changes in our lives to improve our personal and professional satisfaction.
In short, we should be looking for satisfaction not balance.
A true balance of hours between “work” and “life” is extremely difficult if not impossible. Instead Kelly suggests finding true satisfaction in what you deem most important. That starts with prioritizing what is most important in your life.
What are your life priorities?
In the book, Kelly introduced a Priority Exercise that really resonated with me. This exercise helped me define the most important areas of my life and list them out in order of importance.
Kelly asked me to do the following:
1. Create a list of the areas that sum up your life.
Some examples in no particular order are Work, Health, Religion, Family, Finances, Marriage, Children, Extended Family, Hobbies, Travel, Charity, Pokémon Go (not me, my daughter. I swear!) and the list goes on …
2. Cull that list down to 5 of the most important areas in no particular order.
My shorter list became Children, Health, Marriage, Entrepreneurship, and Full-Time Job.
3. Prioritize those 5 areas in order of importance to you.
My prioritized list became Marriage, Children, Health, Full-Time Job and Entrepreneurial
I now use this list to help me make important decisions in my life. For example, if my crazy September was a year-round way of life at work I would seriously consider looking for another job. At a minimum, I would speak to my supervisor about the adverse effects my job was having on my top life priorities of marriage, children and health.
I’m very interested in becoming an entrepreneur, but I will never let that desire compromise my full-time job. This is another example of how my new priority list helps guide me.
How satisfying is your life?
I’ve heard that you can’t fix what you can’t measure. Matthew Kelly agrees.
He outlines another exercise that helps you measure how your current satisfaction level stacks up. It is called the Personal and Professional Satisfaction Assessment.
After going through the assessment, I found overall that I’m a leading a deeply satisfying personal life (nice!) and a moderately satisfying professional life (meh!). So, of course I wanted to improve that “moderate” standing in my professional life. Who wants to be moderate?!
One area I need to improve is my energy level when I come home from work. I often feel tired, lethargic and sometimes bothered by my kids. The common refrain from my 4-year old daughter when I refuse her request for an epic wrestling match after work is “Daddy, you’re always tired!” Ouch baby… ouch.
I want to come home with enough energy to catch up with my wife, play with my kids and help with the evening routine of getting our nutty little ones to bed.
After going through the assessment, I outlined some steps that helped me improve my energy level when coming home from work. Over the past few weeks, I have increased my water intake throughout the day, focused on eating healthier foods and started taking walks during my lunch break. These changes have allowed me to have more energy at work and at home. My kids have noticed too!
I really enjoyed Off Balance. It was a quick read that I was able to consume in a few airplane rides in September and October and it helped me to challenge the “work-life balance” conundrum.
Am I completely satisfied? Nah … I have a long way to go, but this book helped me to really analyze my current situation and prioritize what is most important to me.
If you’re looking to increase your life satisfaction and improve your relationships at work and at home, I’d highly recommend you pick it up.
Well, the plane is about to land … I need to head home and spend some quality time with my top priorities.
Funny how your priority list ended up being the same order as your website domain name (marriage, then kids, then money). Coinkeydink? I think not.
You know it my lady. You always come first!
It’s amazing the effect your diet can have on you- something as simple as drinking more water makes you more satisfied with your life! I used to think I was doing the right thing by having a bowl of cereal every morning for breakfast, but was always hungry an hour later and exhausted through the afternoon. So, I spend a little more on breakfast (my favourite is yoghurt, fresh fruit and granola) and it’s made me feel so much better 🙂
I completely agree Sarah! I used to do the same thing. Cereal with skim milk. And I would always end up being super tired. My doctor at the time informed me that I wasn’t getting enough fat and protein in the morning to sustain a decent energy level. Once I made that change, it was instantaneous. I felt great and my energy lasted through to lunch time.
Cheers to a healthy morning today!

The popular Moneymaker Tour is set to return this year, with stops scheduled for several locations across the globe, including the US, Russia, UK and Ireland.
Similar to the 2018 Moneymaker tour, the 2019 tour will also give away Platinum Passes for the second edition of the PokerStars Players No-Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) taking place in August 2020 in Barcelona, Spain.
The Platinum Passes will include free entry into the €22,500 buy-in PSPC, plus travel and accommodation expenses, all worth over $30,000.
Pass winners will get the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Ramon Colillas, winner of the inaugural PSPC held in January, who turned his Platinum Pass into a whopping $5.1 million in first-place payout.
Moneymaker PSPC Tour Confirmed Stops
The Moneymaker Tour will be headlined by the man himself who achieved poker superstar status after his remarkable $2.5 million WSOP victory back in 2003 – a feat he achieved via an $86 online satellite. Chris Moneymaker will embark on a tour across the globe in the fourth quarter, with the first stop taking place at the famous Sochi Casino in Russia on October 11-13. From there, the tour will head to Reno, Nevada and will run as part of the Run It Up Reno festival.
Other stops announced for the Moneymaker PSPC Tour include Dublin and the UK. It will also drop by the Stones Gambling Hall and the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood in California. The list of stops will grow, and more updates to the schedule will be released soon.
Commenting on the tour, Moneymaker said last year’s stops were a lot of fun, with players being provided with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn their small investment into life-changing victory. What excites him even more is the fact that he will once again be able to hang out and play with people who are equally passionate about the game.
Three players who won passes via the Moneymaker Tour last year did not go home empty-handed as they were able to cash out with five figure sums after making it to Day 3 of the PSPC. Cliff Ellefson, who qualified via an $86 buy-in event at the Stones Gambling Hall, finished in 97th place and walked away with $39,500. Two other players, Anthony Maio of New Jersey and Ori Kossonogi from LA finished in 130th and 139th place respectively, each taking home $35,000.

Rahul Vaidya Opens Up On Losing Indian Idol And Then Bigg Boss 14: “I Can Blame My Luck A Bit But Do Not Regret”
Bigg Boss season 14’s grand finale took place on Sunday, February 22. The finale was between Rubina Dilaik and Rahul Vaidya but eventually, Rubina defeated Rahul Vaidya with a huge number of votes and walked with the BB trophy and Rs 36 lakhs as the prize money. Rahul Vaidya, who was the first runner-up of the season, is hardly sad about losing the trophy. In an interview, Singer Rahul Vaidya said that he is being humble in victory and graceful in defeat.
Speaking to Times Of India, Singer Rahul Vaidya denied being upset after losing the BB trophy. Adding further he shared that he would have been happier as a winner but there was a sense of relief. “I’m happy that my journey of Bigg Boss has ended. I would be happier if I was on the winning side, but there’s always only one winner. However, I always believe in winning with dignity and losing with grace. Honestly, I am very happy that now I can get back to my family and my girlfriend and spend quality time with them. I have done my bit and being in top two means a lot. I am so surprised that I am not sad at all,” he was quoted saying. Rahul also revealed that his girlfriend Disha Parmar was a little upset.
Bigg Boss 14’s result reminded fans of his fate in Indian Idol. Asked him about his thoughts on losing both reality show titles, Rahul said, “I can probably blame my luck a bit. But I am happy for whatever my luck has given me rather than complaining what it has not. I am thankful for what it has given me. 15 years ago when Indian Idol happened I was a different person and now I am completely different person, so I have no regrets.”
When he was asked about his aim behind joining the controversial show, Rahul replied, “I have got what I wanted the show to give me. I always wanted to gain new fans. I wanted to reach more people who had not seen or heard of me. That has surely happened through this platform and that was my only reason to come to Bigg Boss. This makes me extremely happy.”

Plymouth Motor Club – promotes many forms of four-wheeled motorsport, but this was not true in the early days of the Club, formed in 1908 and known as the Plymouth and District Motorcycle Club, with membership almost exclusively made up of motorcyclists. It was after the First World War that car enthusiasts started to infiltrate the ranks of the two-wheeled fraternity. Early events consisted mainly of ‘road trial’ type events for both car and bike.
1952 saw Plymouth Motor Club and Cornwall Vintage Car Club forming a partnership – Cornwall Motor Racing Ltd. – to promote racing at Davidstow circuit in Cornwall. During this circuits short history it hosted Cornwall’s sole Formula 1 race meetings until 1955. One of the many reasons for the demise of this circuit was the bad weather, which still hampers the stage rally events, which took place there until last year. Following the Second World War returning servicemen found cars were cheap and life was there to be enjoyed after the horrors of war and the Club really took off with events being held nearly every weekend throughout the season. The Club has never looked back and membership numbers around 160 motorsport enthusiasts actively competing, marshalling and officiating throughout the motorsport season.
In the modern Club, it would be fair to say that rallying, speed hill climbs and sprints are the main diet of the Club although these are not the only forms of motorsport the Club is actively involved in. As a Club affiliated to the Motor Sports Association we only promote events recognised by the governing body. In a large proportion of these events a driver could compete in a standard family saloon with no special equipment and on a limited budget. One of the biggest assets of the Club is the enthusiasm of the Club members, when the gloves are off you will find fellow competitors are friendly and helpful to others, especially when starting out.

Pittsfield man charged with drug offenses
PITTSFIELD -- Pittsfield plainclothes police officers stopped three men walking on a city street Wednesday night and charged one of them with possession of cocaine and heroin with the intent to distribute.
Kenneth Rathbun, 51, of South Onota Street, was stopped by officers at the intersection of Francis Avenue and Linden Street at about 8:40 p.m., according to police. The officers had been patrolling the area in unmarked vehicles, according to the criminal complaint.
Rathbun was seen walking with two other men, when the other two sat down at a corner and Rathbun kept going. Police questioned the two men and asked them for identification, according to the criminal complaint. When Rathbun returned to where the two men were being questioned by police, the officers asked him for identification. While he was taking out his ID, police allegedly saw him in possession of a hypodermic needle, according to the complaint.
Police asked to search Rathbun's jacket and allegedly found 10 bags of heroin and one bag of crack cocaine. He was charged with distributing and selling heroin with a prior offense, and a separate charge of distributing and selling cocaine.
Rathbun pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned on those charges Wednesday in Central Berkshire District Court. He was released on $100 bail pending his next court appearance on Jan. 28.

HELSINKI — China is preparing to launch the final missions to complete its three-module Tiangong space station which it plans to keep constantly occupied for at least a decade.
A Long March 5B is being assembled and tested at Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on the southern island of Hainan. The 849-metric-ton rocket is expected to launch the third and final module for the Tiangong space station at the end of October.
Mengtian (“dreaming of the heavens”) is a 17.9-meter-long, 4.2-meter-diameter and 22-ton module designed to host a range of science experiments with areas of research including fluid physics, combustion and materials science and space technologies.
The module was fueled for launch Oct. 9, according to China’s human spaceflight agency, CMSA.
After insertion into orbit by the Long March 5B first stage, Mengtian will rendezvous and dock with Tiangong, joining two earlier modules—the Tianhe core module and Wentian experiment module—in orbit to complete the Tiangong space station.
Wentian, launched in July, was transpositioned from the forward docking port on Tianhe to the starboard port Sept. 30, making way for the arrival of Mengtian.
The new module will likewise dock with the forward port and be moved to the port docking ring, completing the T-shaped Tiangong space station. The crew of the ongoing Shenzhou-14 crewed mission are then likely to perform an EVA to assess Mengtian and set up equipment.
— Seger YU (@SegerYu) October 10, 2022
Meanwhile a Long March 7 rocket arrived at Wenchang Oct. 11 and will be assembled to launch the Tianzhou-5 cargo mission. Launch could take place in the first half of November.
Tianzhou-5 will be the fourth cargo mission to Tiangong and will provide supplies for the upcoming Shenzhou-15 crewed mission.
Before this, Tianzhou-4, which supplied Shenzhou-14, will undock from Tiangong and be deorbited to make way for Tianzhou-5.
Meanwhile, at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi Desert, a Long March 2F and the Shenzhou-15 crew spacecraft are being readied for a launch that could take place as early as late November.
The pair have been in a state of standby for launch to Tiangong in the case of an emergency in orbit. It would take 8.5 days to be made ready for launch in an emergency scenario.
When Shenzhou-15 does reach Tiangong, the new crew will be greeted by the Shenzhou-14 astronauts. This will mark China’s first direct crew handover.
Shenzhou-14’s return to Earth days later will complete the construction phase of the space station, just over 30 years after the project was formally approved.
Mariel Borowitz, an associate professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, notes that China’s completion of the Tiangong space station will be a significant accomplishment, both as an impressive scientific feat and for demonstrating their space capabilities compared to the United States.
“With the completion of their modular space station, China has a capability that is broadly in line with that offered by the International Space Station,” told SpaceNews via email. “In addition, China’s space station is newer and likely to outlast the International Space Station, currently expected to be retired in 2030, which may offer China more stability in their low Earth orbit activities.
“China has stated on numerous occasions that they welcome international engagement related to their station, so it will be interesting to see whether any such engagement occurs now that the station is complete.”
China intends to keep the space station permanently inhabited for at least a decade, gaining human spaceflight experience, conducting a range of experiments and potentially exploring commercial possibilities.
The Xuntian optical module—a co-orbiting, Hubble-class space survey telescope—is planned for launch in late 2023 or 2024. Xuntian will be capable of docking with Tiangong for maintenance and repairs.
The space station itself could also be expanded from three to six modules, according to Chinese space officials. Such an expansion may depend upon other countries joining the project.

On 14 January 1996, the US women's national team crushed Russia 8-1 in a match that marked the return of Brandi Chastain after a 3-year absence.
Chastain had made 17 appearances for the national team from 1988 t0 1993 as a forward and was part of the team that won the 1991 Women's World Cup. But she dropped off the national radar in 1993 after contributing only 7 goals and 2 assists. She was called back in 1996, but as a defender.
Her first match back was the blowout win against Russia in the Torneio do Brasil, held in Campinas. Chastain was part of a stout backline that helped the US to a close victory over Brazil (3-2) and a shutout win over the Ukraine (6-0). They met Brazil again in the Final, winning on penalty kicks, 1-1 (3-2).
As a defender, Chastain secured her place in the national team, earning a total of 192 caps before retiring in 2004. In the time she scored over three times as many goals as defender (23) than she had as a forward, including her memorable penalty kick that won the 1999 Women's World Cup Final over China.

Washington State’s Democrat governor Jay Inslee wants to pass a law that would make “lying” a crime. Yes, once again, we see that it is the Democrats who want to destroy free speech.
Inslee thinks that a U.S. state has the power to put an end to the First Amendment when it comes to “lying” about the results of elections. And he is bucking for a new state law that would criminalize “lies” in their area.
According to Yahoo News:
Washington Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee is calling on lawmakers in the Evergreen State to make it a crime for “elected officials or candidates for office” to lie about election results.
“It should not be legal in the state of Washington for elected officials or candidates for office to willfully lie about these election results,” Inslee said, according to a report from the Seattle Times.
The legislation would make it a gross misdemeanor for elected officials or candidates for office to lie about the results of an election. However, Inslee said later in an interview on Thursday that there would have to be “knowledge that there’s potential to create violence” for it to be considered a gross misdemeanor.
This is a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution and our Bill of Rights.
Indeed, “lying” in politics is exactly the sort of speech the founders wanted to protect, not because they were all fired up about protecting lies, but because a “lie” is often in the eye of the beholder. The founders felt that an informed electorate would be able to tell the worst scoundrels from the good legislators and we didn’t need speech codes to clarify the matter.
After all, where they came from, the Royal Crown jailed the political opposition for their rhetoric. This lack of freedom was abhorrent to the founders. And it should be abhorrent to every true American to this very day.
Besides, Inslee likely stole his last election as it is! Inslee’s past GOP opponent, Loren Culp, says that there were multiple instances of Democrat voter fraud in the 2020 election that tipped the election in Inslee’s favor.
Inslee’s proposal sure seems more like a desperate effort to cover up for his vote fraud, doesn’t it?

Audrey Smith and co-authors, in a study published in MIT’s Quantitative Science Studies late last year, with still more evidence that APCs exclude authors from the Global South:
We found that for the overwhelming majority of articles published in the Mirror-Parent ecosystem, the Author Geographic Diversity of articles requiring APCs was significantly lower than that of articles requiring no fee. This was true regardless of whether the OA articles were published in the established Parent journals or the Gold OA Mirrors. The overwhelming majority of these OA articles also had lead authors based in high-income countries. Despite being based in countries nominally eligible for APC waivers, authors from middle-income countries published proportionately few OA articles, but authors in low-income countries published almost entirely subscription-only articles in Parent journals. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that APCs are a barrier to OA publication by scientists from the low-income countries of the Global South.
The paper‘s research design is deliciously clever: Smith et al. probe Elsevier’s own, deeply cynical use of so-called “mirror” journals—whereby a hybrid journal is cloned, complete with editorial board, in order to create a sham, Plan S-compliant gold OA title. (To its credit, Coalition S has slapped down the shameless ploy.) The paper‘s authors are, in effect, turning OA lemons into methodological lemonade, by using the mirror-parent journal pairing as a kind of natural experiment:
[…] the ability to compare OA articles published in Mirror and Parent journals means that we can control for many of the factors influencing these decisions. Most notably, the journals in a Mirror-Parent pair have identical editorial boards, editorial philosophy, and publication priorities.

Says this only happens rarely and as a last resort
A council binman mixing recyclables. Picture: Twitter/Sarah Mustoe
July 6, 2022
Recycling from roads in Merton borough was sent to the Beddington incinerator last week. The council has said the incidents in Pollards Hill like this are “rare” and only happen as a last resort.
A video posted to Twitter shows a binman dumping food waste and paper recycling in a bin together. This would mean the paper could not be recycled and would be sent to the incinerator which processes 347,422 tonnes of rubbish from four South London boroughs a year.
Sarah, who shared the video, wrote: “Just had my recycling collected three days late, now I could be wrong but if you put food waste in with paper doesn’t that prevent the paper being recycled? Your staff have just poured mine and all my neighbours into one large yellow wheelie bin.”
Merton Council and Veolia have said in this instance, the waste was not recycled as the bin lorries could not access homes due to Thames Water work. This affected Hadley and Castleton roads.
Community campaigner Mark Gale said two smaller vehicles could have been sent to carry out the collections separately. He said, “The video is very clear showing recycling isn’t happening. They do have smaller vehicles which are used on hard to access roads.
“They could send two different smaller vehicles to solve that issue if they wanted to. On this occasion it resulted in sending the whole road’s recycling to the incinerator.”
A spokesperson for Merton Council said, “We have a duty to clear household waste for all residents in a timely manner and in rare circumstances like this, it sometimes means merging recycling and rubbish collections. This was a last resort that only affected two streets.”
While a spokesperson for Veolia said recycling crews made three attempts to collect the bins between Wednesday (29 June) and Friday (1 July). They were unable to access the road with a “split back recycling collection” due to the road works.
The spokesperson said: “After notifying Merton Council, and as a last resort to clear waste for the residents, a narrower vehicle attended on Saturday, 2 July to clear all household recycling and waste. All surrounding roads were unaffected. We will retry making separate collections of recycling and waste in Hadley and Castleton Roads on Wednesday (July 6).”
It comes less than six months after Veolia was given an official warning to improve by Merton Council.

In the medical industry today, it really is no surprise to hear about another medical advancement or breakthrough. Simply put, we have gotten so technologically and scientifically advanced that we are continuously and consistently producing new discoveries. Having said that, we can see why it would be a major deal to hear about a medical breakthrough that is shaking the entire industry. Well, as it turns out, this is exactly the case for an eye surgery within the medical industry. Proven to be one of the most effective and simplest methods in the field of optometry, it is shaking up the minds of medical professionals all over the world. There is no denying how important out eyesight is to us, the fact that we are improving in this area is impressively scary in many ways. In fact, this new surgical procedure has been described as easy enough to perform that, almost anyone can do it. Needless to say, those are confident descriptions for this breakthrough. Without further ado, here is more on this shocking medical advancement.
The Eye Surgery That Is Shocking The Medical Community
Considering how cherished of a gift that eyesight is to all of us, it would be a shame if we didn’t have it. Well, as we can see from this article on this new eye surgery breakthrough, we might one day live to see a time where there is no such thing as blindness. In addition to this, the article also alludes to the fact that we might one day reach such a time very soon. Considering how far we have come in this area specifically, all the signs point to there being a completely reversible sure for blindness. Furthermore, the article also discusses how things like eyeglasses and contacts will very soon be a thing of the past. Considering how comfortable we have gotten with eyeglasses and contact lenses, it will definitely take some getting used to the fact that they will one day not be necessary.

Best New Project
- Parent Organisation:
Sport 4 Socialisation
- Project Host Nation:
- Overview of Project:
Based on pilots in Kenya and Zimbabwe, S4S has developed a unique concept to improve the quality of life of children with disabilities (CWD’s) and their families. S4S starts with identification and assessments (socio-economical, medical, educational) of CWD’s (0-25 years). The CWD’s take part in weekly integrated and adapted sport activities in their suburbs with able-bodied peers, on open venues to raise awareness to the public, after which they have discussions on disability and HIV/AIDS topics. Parallel to this parents are organised in Parent Support Groups (PSG’s) where they learn about disabilities and take part in Income Generating Activities (IGA’s). Members of the PSG’s are trained to organise the sport sessions to ensure sustainability. Once a month the CWD’s have physiotherapy, while the parents get trained to continue the exercises at home. The sport activities are a portal for S4S to identify and assist in the needs of the CWD’s for educational assistance, medication, corrective surgeries and assistive devices. Sport activities are tools to increase social cohesion between CWD’s and able-bodied peers, raise awareness, assist parents in taking care of the CWD.

South Bend advocacy group reacts to recent shootings
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The South Bend chapter of Moms Demand Action are calling for an end to gun violence after returning from a conference in Washington D.C.
They held an impromptu protest on Sunday in response to the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, as well as the recent shootings in South Bend and Dowagiac.
In D.C., the group met with other chapters of Moms Demand Action in order to discuss the impact of gun violence.
Anngi Lynch and Kathy Lovett, two members of Moms Demand Action, emphasized how important it is for everyone to come together on this issue.
“It doesn’t have to be this way,” Lynch said. “Gun violence is not inevitable.”
“We need everyone's voice,” Lovett said. “We need everyone to step up. This country is better than this our community is better than this.”
Moms Demand Action will take part in the National Night Out events held in South Bend, Elkhart and Mishawaka during the first week of August.

While many Alaskans utilize boats for fun or to make a living by fishing, guiding, or transporting tourists, there are many dangers to being on the icy and often turbulent waters of the North but the state is working toward improving safety for boaters, specifically those taking to the Kenai River.
"An Alaska Boater's Handbook supplement is in the works for the Kenai River," said Joe McCullough, educational coordinator with the Alaska Office of Boating Safety in Anchorage.
The Alaska Boater's Handbook is roughly 80 pages in length and has had two supplements, each roughly 40 pages, already created for the Prince William Sound and Kachemak Bay areas. The Kenai River supplement is expected to be around the same length.
"It's not going to be a tourist magazine. It's not going to be about where to fish and what tackle to use. It's going to be specifically about boating safety," McCullough said.
McCullough added that the supplement is being created out of demand from the public, but also it is an effort by the state to curb the high rate of boating related accidents and fatalities across Alaska.
"Alaska is 10 times the national average for boating accidents, and we're really trying to address the high rate of drowning," he said.
Topics that the supplement will cover include underwater hazards and other things that are dangerous, infrastructure and services of the river, and rules of the river, such as passing other boats on the river and using sound signals, McCullough said.
"We'll also have a map in it that we are hoping will be one of the best ones ever put out," he added.
The handbooks and supplements will likely be available at locations where fishing licenses are sold, visitors centers and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
"There will be 50,000 handbooks printed and more made to meet any demand beyond that number," McCullough said.
Handbooks will also be amended whenever needed, since McCullough is interested in public information relevant to Kenai River boating safety.
"If someone wants to submit something, I'd love to get it. We'll take submission describing specific areas of the river and how to navigate them, resources available to boaters such as private launches, and we would also like to have information on paddling or canoeing the Kenai River," he said.
Information can be sent to: Joe McCullough, 550 W. 7th Avenue, Suite 1380, Anchorage, Alaska 99501.
"I'd like to have submissions by Jan. 18, so I can get them to the printer by the end of February and have them out by spring," he said.
McCullough added that this handbook is not the only resource for those interested in learning about safety on the water. Several courses, books and videos are also available through the state including: Alaska Water Wise Courses, Cold Water Immersion presentations, and Kids Don't Float program information, just to name a few.

We went on a hike to Brainard Lake recently. She was strapped on my back in one of those fancy hiking packs. Walking is just part of the adventure...
She's aware of the pine cones on the ground and wanting to say hello to each tree and make physical contact with her hand.
She feels the variation in textures of the bark and branches and pine needles.
We walk at the pace that feels good for her so she can take in all that she is noticing.
The hike is much less about moving to get my heart rate up and more about being in flow with my child and our experience. When we are synced up, it is pure delight and ease and life is full of curiosity and enjoyment.
"When we are synced up, it is pure delight and ease and life is full of curiosity and enjoyment."
And sometimes our pacing gets off. And that’s ok too. I’m learning to understand this big lifelong trajectory of relationship with this precious being I call Anaiya. I'm learning that some moments (and days and weeks) I feel more flow, and other times I feel clunky. But at the heart of our connection is responsive, caring, presence and love. This is the foundation for which all of our lives unfold upon.
Big Love and Delight,
