Bellator 229's Joey Davis: 'I'm the best at what I do'
Mick Hammond
Looking back on his first round TKO victory over Marcus Anthony at Bellator 219 this past March, welterweight Joey Davis feels like the bout went just about as perfectly as it could have.
As Davis points out, he was able to show his maturation as a fighter and keep a level head and was able to execute the kind of performance he was looking to have going into the bout with Anthony.
"The fight with Marcus I just wanted to go out there and show Bellator and the fans what I can do," Davis told MMAWeekly.com. "I just set the tone, kept my pace, and I thought I did a very good job of keeping my composure.
"I got to do what I do best and land a couple spinning back kicks or it throw it out there a little bit. I thought I did a good job. I'm happy with the performance and I'm happy got the finish and got to do my dance at the end."
It's Davis' maturation that he feels will be the big key towards closing out 2019 riding high on an undefeated streak he's had going since he turned pro in 2016.
"I think that where I'm at now in 2019 you see a major difference in my composure and just everything about me," said Davis. "Going into my second fight (of the year) I feel like it's going to be even much better. I just feel so much more comfortable and relaxed and ready to go with whatever anybody's throwing at me."
At Bellator 229 on October 4 in Temecula, California, Davis (5-0) will look to keep his undefeated streak going when he faces Jeff Peterson (10-6) in a preliminary 170-pound bout.

"I just know that whatever (Peterson) thinks he's going to do, what he plans, or what he's trying to gather up for me, he'll be at his top A-game for me, because at the end of the day I'm the best at what I do," Davis said. "Nobody has stopped what I've done so far.
"I've dominated every fight that I've been in – that just shows for itself. I just know each time I'm going to get an opportunity I'm going to take it. In anywhere of the game he's just going to have to be working for it tip top, because if not I know my skills are very dangerous and I know what I'm going to do is going to work."
As Davis matures as a fighter and as a person he's looking forward to continuing what he's been doing so far in MMA and improving upon it and have an even bigger year in 2020.
"I know that it takes time to get better," said Davis. "The more I'm in the cage the better I will be. And since I know these things already I'm more relaxed. There's no pressure. I know that anytime I'm in the cage that I'm going to be ready.
"I'm pretty much one fight at a time, but I know each fight I want to be something different. I want to be spectacular. I want to dominate."

Fifteen-year-old Brandon Niederauer, nicknamed "Taz" for his ferocious guitar playing, is living proof that dreams really do come true. Having performed in some of the most legendary venues in America with many of the most prominent musicians of our time, the young guitarist, singer, and songwriter has already earned himself quite the reputation.
It all started at eight years old, when Brandon watched the movie School of Rock. Already inspired by his father's record collection, Brandon instantly realized he was destined to play guitar. From that moment on, his guitar rarely left his hands. Just four years later, Brandon was cast in the principal role of guitarist "Zack Mooneyham" in the Tony Award-nominated Andrew Lloyd Webber Broadway production, School of Rock the Musical.
Based in New York City, Brandon has had the opportunity to play with many of his musical idols. In recent years, he's shared the stage with multiple members of the Allman Brothers Band, including Gregg Allman, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Butch Trucks, and Oteil Burbridge, as well as a variety of other notable musicians, including Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, Slash, Jon Batiste, Dweezil Zappa, Eric Gales, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Dr. John, Gary Clark Jr., Col. Bruce Hampton, Eric Krasno, George Porter Jr., Robert Randolph, Karl Denson, Doug Wimbish, and John Popper. He has also performed with Tedeschi Trucks Band, The String Cheese Incident, Umphrey's McGee, The Revivalists, Dumpstaphunk, Blackberry Smoke, Galactic, and countless other bands.
Since making his national television debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show at just ten years old, Brandon has appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Good Morning America, and The View. In 2018, Brandon reunited with Andrew Lloyd Webber, performing in January with Sarah Brightman at The Phantom of the Opera's 30th Anniversary celebration, and in April alongside Sara Bareilles, Alice Cooper, and John Legend in NBC's live broadcast production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Brandon is currently featured in Spike Lee's Netflix series, She's Gotta Have It, and performs concerts for audiences across the country and around the world.

Alexander Hleb returns home to Belarus and joins BATEAlexander Hleb returns home to Belarus and joins BATE
Former Arsenal and Barcelona player Alexander Hleb has returned to the Belarusian club where he made his professional debut, the team, BATE Borisov.
The 31-year-old midfielder said he was especially motivated to revive his career at the club where he made his professional debut.
"I'm glad to return to BATE. Here I made my first steps, I left for Europe from here. I want to thank my home club, to do everything possible to fulfill their desired goals." Hleb said on the club's website Thursday.
Hleb won the Belarusian title with BATE in his first season in 2000, and later played in the Bundesliga for spending three years at Arsenal from 2005 to 2008.
This was followed by four seasons at Barcelona, where he spent much time on loan and made just 19 appearances in four years.

"I will be ringing Kanu today to see if there is anything I can do," he said.
Center-back Tal Ben Haim is also owed a similar amount in wages and Redknapp added: "In the case of Tal Ben Haim, if players have a contract and are owed money, you can see why they think they should get it. But if the club closes down they won't get a penny. They need to think hard about that."
Redknapp spent five seasons at Fratton Park between 2002 and 2008, guiding the club to a momentous FA Cup win in 2008.

Over the past few years, solar cell and module prices have been declining rapidly. This has promoted the development of innovative solar power solutions such as solar-powered lanterns, solar fans and solar water purifiers.
Strawberry Energy, a solar-powered urban furniture provider for smart and sustainable cities, has developed a unique method of utilising solar energy through the placement of furniture with smart features for public use in urban areas. Founded in March 2011, the company aims to enhance the experience of urban citizens in public spaces by providing them with clean electricity and connectivity on the go. Strawberry Energy has a line of smart street furniture, which brings the internet of things to outdoor public spaces that have a high footfall to help improve the standards of cities, making them smarter and more convenient to live in.
Currently, the company offers three types of "smart benches" and a "strawberry tree", which can be deployed in public spaces and recreational centres. The smart bench and "smart bench 2" provide seating as well as shade, whereas the "smart bench mini" is a compact version of the other two and provides only seating facilities. The strawberry tree has been designed to provide shade and shelter from the rain.
In addition to providing seating and shade, these products have built-in smart features. All Strawberry Energy products are equipped with a stand-alone solar photovoltaic system, which generates energy to provide services such as mobile charging with the help of built-in power chords and USB ports. In addition, wireless pads are provided for charging phones.
All products can provide internet connectivity to users near them through Wi-Fi. In addition, the benches and the tree come with sensors that can measure environment data such as local temperature, air pressure, humidity, noise level and carbon dioxide in real time. This information is easily accessible to users through Strawberry Energy's app as well as the Wi-Fi landing page on the browser. The app also lets users find their nearest strawberry bench and takes their suggestions for installing these benches in new locations. The strawberry tree and smart bench mini have an additional feature of LED lighting. Moreover, while the basic specifications and design features of the company's offerings remain the same, other specifications such as rating of solar panels, number of charging ports and sensor data vary from product to product.
The company not only has original design ideas but also a unique business model. Since urban cities often do not have the resources to fund such services, the company offers its network of smart benches free of charge to cities and organisations. The company generates revenue by selling commercial branding rights of Strawberry Energy's furniture to organisations that want to engage with people in an innovative way.
With its one-of-a-kind offering, it is no surprise that the company has grown manyfold in a very short span of time. In 2012, Strawberry Energy had a presence in five cities, which expanded to five countries by April 2013. As of April 2016, the company had installations in 25 cities across 17 countries. Its key clients include Ford Motor Company, Canary Wharf, the United Nations Development Programme, and Orange. In September 2017, the company launched a network of smart benches in London in partnership with Ford Motors Europe.
Strawberry Energy has already raised about £900,000 from institutional and angel investors and is generating revenue through product sales and sponsorship deals. The company has also launched a public funding drive to raise £300,000 in funds for expanding its network of smart benches in London to 100 locations.
While Strawberry Energy has no immediate plans to expand in Asia, developing and economically progressing countries such as India can provide a large potential market for its products. Under the country's Smart Cities Mission, which aims to promote development in cities and improve the quality of life of its urban citizens, such an innovative technology and business model can be adopted to provide residents with state-of-the-art services at zero cost to municipalities.
Solar energy generation largely depends on the availability of sunlight. Thus, during cloud cover, a steep decline is witnessed in solar power generation leading to grid instability. However, the industry has been looking for ways to generate solar power during cloudy days as well as in low-light conditions to maintain a stable minimum output and make solar power a more economical option. To this end, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a "biogenic" solar cell that uses bacteria to generate electricity even in dim lighting conditions.
These biogenic cells are made up of living organisms and have the potential to reach the efficiency levels of synthetic cells used in conventional solar panels. Currently, the efforts to build biogenic solar cells are focused mainly on extracting the natural dye used by bacteria for photosynthesis. This is a complex process in which the toxic solvents involved can cause the natural dye to degrade. In addition, these biogenic dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) are expensive owing to the irregular supply of natural dyes, inconsistencies in material qualities and inefficiencies in extraction.
The UBC researchers have developed a simpler solution to this problem by leaving the dye in the bacteria. To achieve this, the research team genetically engineered the E. coli bacteria to produce large amounts of lycopene. Lycopene is the dye that gives tomatoes their red-orange colour. It is a photosensitive pigment that can mediate electron transfer and is, therefore, very effective in harvesting light, which can be further converted into energy. The bacteria containing the dye are coated with titanium dioxide, which acts as a semiconductor. This mixture can then be applied to a conductive glass surface along with an electrolyte mixture to form a functioning DSSC. The coated glass can be used as an anode of a photovoltaic cell. The process is vastly different from the traditional approach of coating a semiconductor material with a dye or a photosensitiser. The new type of cell can generate a current density of 0.686 milliamperes per square centimetre, a significant improvement from the 0.362 milliamperes per square centimetre current density achieved by the previously developed dye-based cells. The UBC researchers believe that the new process could reduce the total cost of dye production to about one-tenth of the earlier figures.
These biogenic materials could also have applications in the mining industry, deep-sea exploration and other low-light environments. These materials can be manufactured more economically and sustainably than conventional materials. Thus, with sufficient optimisation, the biogenic cells can perform at efficiencies comparable with conventional solar cell efficiencies. However, the most important factor in the success of such solar cells would be the use of technology that does not kill the bacteria so the dye can be indefinitely produced.
In the Indian context, biogenic cells have a large market in the northern and north-eastern regions of the country. These regions do not have significant solar energy capacity as yet. The heavy cloud cover and rainfall leads to low capacity utilisation factor and longer payback periods. Thus, if these cells are deployed commercially at low costs, they could generate higher power outputs in regions with low sunshine levels. Since energy will be generated even during cloud cover, the frequency variations in the grid could be reduced, thus increasing its stability. The low costs could help boost the residential rooftop segment, which mainly relies on grants and subsidies. Moreover, the cells will be manufactured through eco-friendly processes, which will contribute towards India's sustainable development goals.

Municipal Corporation mayoral elections
Raj Bala is city Mayor
Congress bags all three posts; 100 pc voting registered
Aarti Kapur
Chandigarh, January 1
The Congress made a clean sweep in the Municipal Corporation (MC) mayoral elections today. In the fourth tenure of the MC, the Congress bagged all three posts of the Mayor, Senior Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayor. Hundred per cent voting was registered in the mayoral elections.
In a triangular fight for the Mayor's post, Congress candidate Raj Bala Malik was elected the 18th Mayor after she defeated two contenders, including BJP's Asha Jaswal and BSP's Jannat Jahan Ul-Haq by a huge margin. Out of 36 votes cast for the post of Mayor, 35 were valid and one was declared invalid as the stamp was put on the name of the candidate rather than the box in front of the name.
For the post of Senior Deputy Mayor, Congress candidate Darshan Kumar Garg defeated BJP candidate Deshraj Gupta by a margin of 10 votes. Garg got 23 votes while 13 votes went in favour of Gupta. Similarly, for the post of Deputy Mayor, Congress candidate Satish Kumar Kainth emerged victorious by securing 23 votes against BJP-SAD candidate Malkeet Singh, who got 13 votes.
Raj Bala Malik won by 21 votes. BJP candidate Asha Jaswal bagged 12 while BSP candidate Jannat Jahan Ul Haq got just two. After being elected as Mayor, Raj Bala Malik conducted the elections to the post of Senior Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
The Mayor's election was presided over by nominated councillor Babu Lal. The Member of Parliament, Pawan Kumar Bansa,l who is ex-officio member of the General House, was the first to cast his vote for the Mayor's post.
The three-party senior leaders, including Congress president BB Bahl, BJP president Sanjay Tandon and BSP leader Haffiz-Anwar-Ul-Haq were present in the visitors' gallery of the House during the election. Even former mayor Ravinder Pal Singh was present in the visitors' gallery.
The supporters of all candidates who could not manage to get the pass of the visitors' gallery were able to witness the ceremony in the MC office parking lot where two plasma televisions were installed by the authorities.
BJP councillors raise objections

Before the commencement of the election, BJP councillor Arun Sood demanded that the councillors should not be allowed to carry their mobile phones inside, as it was a breach of secrecy of ballot. Last year, Union Minister and local MP Pawan Kumar Bansal had denied following these instructions in the last mayoral elections. He said, "There is no such norm in the MC Act that does not allow councillors to carry mobile phones." However, presiding officer Babu Lal instructed all councillors that mobile phones were not allowed inside election booths.
BJP councillor Arun Sood objected in the House to different initials of MC secretary Lalit Siwach, on the ballot papers given to the councillors for the election to the post of Deputy Mayor. He pointed out that on nine ballot papers Siwach had underlined the initials and on two he had made a line above his signature.
First timers clueless
Clueless about the proceedings of the mayoral elections, all first timers in the House started congratulating Congress Mayor Raj Bala Malik on her victory before the announcement was made by presiding officer Babu Lal. Interestingly, the MP, who was sitting next to her, had to guide his party councillors to wait to applause Malik till the formal announcement was made. In fact, Malik's family members, who were sitting in the visitors' gallery, start cheering her while the election observers were counting the votes.
Nominated councillor Dr Amrit Tewari found it meaningless for the BJP councillors to object to the size of booth's enclosure. She suggested that the councillors should not argue on petty issues in the House.
BSP mayor contender Jannat Jahan Ul-Haq, who is a first timer, objected to the commencement of the election proceedings, which was why she was not called by the nominated councillors for an interview. Presiding officer Babu Lal informed her that it was a way of canvassing.
Mayoral elections not 'managed', says Pawan Bansal
MP Pawan Kumar Bansal
Denying opposition parties allegations that the Congress had managed the mayoral polls with the support of nominated councillors, Member of Parliament Pawan Kumar Bansal refuted it and said that they had voted according to their conscience.
After a clean sweep in the mayoral elections today, Bansal stated that to avoid such allegations he always supported an open ballot for every election conducted in the House but the MC Act did not allow it.
Refusing favoritism in the selection of the nominated councillors, Bansal said that there was no norm in the Act, which did not permit the selection of family member as nominated councillors, who had any connection with persons having political background.
He said that the selection of existing nominated councillors was on the basis of their contribution for the betterment of the society.
Objecting on the political benefits, which the nominated councillors enjoyed in the past MC tenure, Bansal said that the nominated councillors were selected for their expert opinion and they should only focus on it. Supporting the voting right of the nominated councillor, he said that they should exercise it without the influence of any party.
Demanding an amendment in the constitution, Bansal said that the Member of Parliament should not be a part of the House.
He further suggested that the Election Commission of India should execute "right to reject" rather than "right to re-call", which the team of social activist Anna Hazare had been demanding for a long time.
Listing out the challenges for the MC, Bansal said that even though the city got top position in sanitation services but there was lot to be done to strengthen and streamline the system.
The maintenance of green belts and parks were also a big challenge for the MC authorities.
It's not going to be a cakewalk for new Mayor
Major challenges are filling vacant posts, addressing civic problems, getting approval for development projects

The typically flowery agenda of new municipal corporation Mayor Raj Bala Malik listing ambitious projects that she plans to undertake will be incomplete if she ignores crucial civic issues such as parking problem, solid waste management, water supply and staff crunch in the civic body. In fact, the major challenges for the Mayor will be speeding up the process of approval of designs of new constructions from the UT chief architect department, as most of the projects have been shelved.
Last year, a pilot project of the multi-level parking in Sector 17 was scrapped due to delay in getting an approval from the UT administration. Besides, major construction proposals are in the pipeline after the recent transfer of departments of primary health and education.
City is facing an acute shortage of commercial and residential parking lots. In the last decade, not even a single commercial multi-level parking and community parking has seen the light of the day and around 12 projects are yet to take off, as approval for the same is still awaited. The Mayor will not only have to earmark the parking sites, but will have to get these approved as well.
For the past five years, the solid waste management has become a bone of contention for the Congress party.
The Mayor will have to resolve the problem of foul smell in the city by implementing garbage disposal system.
With an increase in population, the demand for water has gone up. But after the denial of UT share from Phase V and VI of Kajauli water works by Punjab, it has become a matter of concern for the MC authorities to look for another alternative to cope with the water scarcity in future.
Staff crunch
In all departments of the corporation, the work is suffering due to paucity of staff. The main challenge for the Mayor will be to get 4,203 vacant posts filled. In other departments also, about 1,200 posts are lying vacant.
Another challenge for the Mayor will be to get the sites approved for the six new primary schools which the MC has to construct at different places in the city.
The corporation will also have to renovate all seven schools that were shifted to the corporation by the administration. An amount of Rs 2 crore has been sanctioned for the construction of each school.
The Mayor will also have to chalk out plans to undertake the renovation work of all 17 civil dispensaries shifted to the MC recently. An amount of Rs 4 crore has been earmarked for a 100-bedded maternity hospital at Maloya. The site has already been earmarked for the project, but the work is yet to commence.
During the maiden interaction with mediapersons here today, Mayor Raj Bala Malik shared her priorities which included providing better community centres and sports facilities in every sector, re-carpeting of roads, developing rural areas, maintaining green belts and parks, curbing stray cattle menace and providing better facilities for senior citizens. She said a proposal would be sent to the UT administration to transfer public transportation to the civic body.
When asked if the MC would pursue the proposal of transfer of villages which were under the jurisdiction of the UT administration, Malik said the proposal would be looked into with villagers' consent. She said if a majority of them wanted a merger in the civic body, suggestion would be taken up with the UT administration.
Not all's well with children
Fast-paced lifestyle making them prone to depression
Anuja Jaiswal
Gone are the days when childhood was all blissful, stressless and carefree. The pressures of modern-day living and fast-paced lifestyles have taken a toll on childhood too, with young children suffering from hitherto known adult problems like stress and depression.
It may sound strange but children as young as four and six years are suffering from depression. One such case was recently reported at the Child Guidance Clinic of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH)-32.
Jimmy (name changed) was a happy-go-lucky child like any other 4-year-old, till he suddenly stopped taking interest in almost everything. All of a sudden he stopped talking, eating and even playing.
Failing to bring Jimmy back to his usual self, his worried parent approached the Child Guidance Clinic where the doctors after lengthy conversations with the child concluded that he was suffering from depression. And the reason for it was the loss of a close friend who had moved out of town.
Dr Preeti, in charge of the guidance clinic, said it took a lot of time for Jimmy to open up. "After several sittings we realised that he had been feeling low, as his close friend and neighbour had moved out of the city, making him feel lonely", she said.
Dr Preeti said since administrating medicines at such a young age wasn't advisable, some therapies were suggested to Jimmy's parents. After a few follow ups, the young boy became his usual self and was normal.
Dr Preeti revealed that on an average, they got one child per month with problems of depression. She cited the case of a six-year-old child who was on medication for almost one and half years.
Just like Jimmy, this child too had lost interest in almost everything and his parents brought him to the guidance centre after consulting neurologists. Though the exact cause of depression in the child could not be ascertained, he was back to being his usual self after prolonged medication, the doctor claimed.
Dr Preeti admitted that over the decade, childhood depression had increased rapidly and despite widespread awareness about it, many parents ignored it. She said depression among children could cause serious health problems if not treated timely.
Causes of depression can vary from situation to situation like separation from parents, divorce, serious emotional crisis in the child's life, neglect, sexual or physical abuse, death of a loved one and pressure stemming from unrealistic expectations from family members. Genetic background or bio-chemical disturbance can also make some children prone to depression, said Dr Preeti.
Dr BS Chavan, head of psychiatry department at GMCH-32 said, "Depression is treatable and children who exhibit its symptoms should be referred to and evaluated by mental health professionals. It must be borne in mind that inadequately treated childhood depression raises risk of suicide and recurrent bouts of depression, he added.
"Treatment differs according to the age of the child. With small children, play therapy works the best, as they communicate and express themselves openly to the therapist. For older children and adolescents, cognitive therapy helps as it focuses on changing the negative perceptions in to positive self-talk," he said.
Siblings' murder case
Neighbour identifies accused
It was a close neighbour of the two siblings murdered on December 16, who had seen the accused visiting their house on the day of the incident, which helped the Chandigarh police zero in on distant relative Rahul. The neighbour has identified the accused, who is still at large.
Police sources said a neighbour saw Rahul, a Raipurani resident, who had been missing prior to the murder, at the residence of the deceased in Sector 41.
The neighbour, whose identity is hidden, identified Rahul through his photographs shown by the police. The police has not denied involvement of more than one accused behind the murder of the two teenagers.
Justifying the delay in arresting Rahul, the police stated that the accused never kept a mobile, which made it difficult to nab him, as they could not trace his last location.
Rahul has two brothers who are also being questioned by the police in regard to the murder.
The police said the murder was an act of sudden provocation after Gaurang objected to Rahul's gestures towards his sister Kavita when he came to their residence on the fateful day. "Teams are conducting raids at various suspected hideouts to nab the accused", the police sources stated.
Accused may have been arrested
Although the police is claiming that the accused is still at large, however, the former having information about the entire murder episode, points to the fact that the accused may have been arrested and revealed the entire story to the police.

Controversy over role of nominated councillors
Recently, there has been a serious controversy over the role of the nominated councillors in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation. The MC was set up basically on the demand of political parties to carry out the affairs by the elected representatives instead of the bureaucracy; thus the formation of the Corporation came into being in 1996 consisting of 30 members, 20 elected, 9 nominated and with one elected MP. The strength of the nominated members has been almost the half of the total strength of the Corporation, which does not represent the political character in its real sense of the term as was envisaged. At present, the strength of the MC has increased from 20 to 26. While adopting and framing the statue for the establishment of the Corporation, it seems that the framers have not gone into length to study and consequent implications of such a big team of the nominated members in the Corporation.
Though for the first time over 60 per cent voting has been polled during the Municipal Corporation elections held on December 17 by surpassing all the previous records yet the verdict has thrown up a hung House and the reigns have been handed over to the UT Administrator who has nominated nine members to the Municipal Corporation as per Punjab Municipal Act adopted in Chandigarh. Probably, this is the only Corporation in India where the nominating councillors have voting rights.
The whole practice underlines the irony of how the highly literate voter of Chandigarh is rendered virtually powerless in what is supposed to be democratic exercise. First of all, there is no need of such a big team of nine nominated councillors against that of 26 elected councillors. But if at all the list has been out and as reported in the newspapers, majority of them have the inclination with congress party, there should absolutely no voting right with them that spoils the entire democratic structure in the city. The nominated members are the burden on the public exchequer and the people have to pay unnecessary taxes to bear this burden.
Coordination with people must
The nominated councillors are important because they have the right to vote. If no political party gets absolute majority, that often happens, the nominated councillors hold the key to power to elect the mayor of Corporation.
The five-year of service of the Corporation by nominated councillors is crucial. During the period, they are supposed to interact with public to get the feel and first hand knowledge problems related to 'aam adami' and social realities. These nominated councillors can open up the minds of corporation officers, by bringing them into direct contact with problems related to 'aaam adami's' life, with people at grass-root level, with their concrete problems and with different human and social problems prevailing there.
"Today's politicians think themselves to be exclusive guardians of the people. The present working of the officers of the Corporation have lost the faith of the people. The people doubt their credibility and efficacy of occupying policy level posts. Because of inadequate accountability, inefficient working, plans and policies remain on paper or often, far away from the reality and actual needs and aspirations of the people. Closer contact, coordination with people and their confidence in general public could save them from undue political pressure of the councillors."
Er Sachin Sharma, President Youth Innovative Society
Performance must count
Chandigarh is a modern city, inhabited by educated and responsible people. The outcome of the MC elections clearly gives a message that votes should be exercised wisely and at the end, it is the performance that counts. At the same time, it is a lesson for those who have failed to come up to the expectations of the residents. All the elected councillors should work towards the development and uplifting the city by ignoring their personal and vested interests. The nominated members should not be given the voting right as they are not the elected representatives of the citizens. The practice is in contradiction with the principles of people's democracy as their nomination is always dubious. Nominated councillors should be allowed to vote for better functioning of the local government and not for electing mayor.
Vineet Kapoor, Panchkula
Sincere candidate should be elected
In the just concluded MC elections, voters have done a great job and have sent a message that they have re-elected only the right and sincere members who have developed their wards to the satisfaction of the residents. The message is a warning to the first time councilors that they need to work really hard to come up to the expectations of the residents. Also, the nominated councillors should not be given voting right to decide as to which party will rule the civic body for the next five years. The nominated members are non-politicians and are expertise in different fields. Their role in the house is to get the right work done along with implementation of policies or schemes for the welfare of the residents and development of the city. They should always remain neutral during the conduct of the proceedings of the house. It has been observed that in the past, the nominated members are politicking in the house and have shown their affiliation to various political parties, which is absolutely uncalled for. The practice is shame of democracy.
Dr Shruti K Chawla, Sector 38 C, Chandigarh
Politicisation likely
The nine nominated councillors of the MC Chandigarh hold the key to the election of its mayor in the absence of any clear cut absolute majority for any political party. The UT administration nominated those persons as councilors some of who owe allegiance to congress and in such a situation it is likely that congress mayor shall come up. However, in the backdrop of Chandigarh, which being a Union Territory is governed by the Central Government, the element of politics has entered with the nomination of those persons who belong to the political parties instead of those who should have been above politics apart from being dexterous men of intelligence, honesty, skilled and artists to shape the things of the city beautiful fast losing its splendour by meddlesome way of politicians.
Gurmit Singh Saini, Mohali
No question raised for 15 years
It is totally absurd to give voting rights to the nominated councillors of the Chandgarh Municipal Corporation for electing the mayor. Because the nominated councilors are not the elected representatives of the people. The BJP has also raised the point and has threatened to move to court in this regard. But why such an objection has been raised now? Why this question was not raised for the past 15 years of the Municipal Corporation's functioning. Surely, the BJP is now feeling the heat of the system as it fears that the nominated councillors will vote for a congress councillor for the mayor's post, as most of them have congress background or leanings.
The issue needs to be deliberated upon seriously for a change in the current set up that is necessary.
RK Kapoor, Chandigarh
Open house question
Despite tall claims about the revival of 'beat patrolling', by the local police, there is poor visibility, on the ground, of beat constables making rounds of houses and streets for a direct contact with the city residents. Write your opinion on the existing situation of an absolutely collapsed system of the police beats and public expectations to the openhouse@tribunemail.com.
In the local MC, a team of 9 nominated members is taken simply to accommodate bigwigs. There is already an IAS officer along with some PCS or HCS officers to look after the day-to-day affairs of the Corporation. The nominated councillors are not responsible to the people for their commissions and omissions. Though in the initial years, the purpose might have been to keep a check on politically motivated drives of the elected representatives yet with time, the entire purpose has been defeated especially, when some of the nominated members have jumped in a fray of being representatives of the different political parties.

Vineet's family holds warden responsible
17-year-old was found dead in DAV school hostel

The mystery still surrounds the death of 17-year-old student of DAV, who was found dead in his hostel room. Meanwhile, high drama was witnessed at Government Multi Speciality Hospital-16 when family members of the deceased alleged that the warden was responsible for his death.
To avoid any untoward incident, heavy police force was deployed at the hospital and the school principal and hostel warden were also called there.
The inconsolable family of Vineet Sharma, demanding that a case should be registered against the hostel warden, Ashwani Kumar, refused to allow the police to get the autopsy done unless a case was registered.
ASP Des Raj arrived at the hospital to pacify the family members and assured them that action would be taken against the guilty following which the family gave its consent to the autopsy.
Vineet's father Devi Dass Sharma alleged that the hostel warden used to harass his son accusing him of being a drug-addict. "My son used to complain that the warden harassed him," Sharma said.
Sharma said last month the warden had approached him saying his son was in a bad company.
The school principal and warden arrived at the hospital, however, they refused to speak to mediapersons.
Vineet's sister Renu Sharma, who is pursuing law from Dehradun, claimed that the autopsy report had indicated poison in the body. "The autopsy report states that my brother consumed dinner at around 8.30 and died at10.30," she said.
However, SHO of the Sector 3 police station Punam Dilawri said it was pre-mature to comment on any such thing. "Viscera of the deceased has been sent to forensic lab. No injury marks were found on the body. The cause of the death could not be ascertained," she said.
The body was handed over to the family after the autopsy. The police is questioning Vineet's friends and hostel staff.

Mohali, January 1
The returning officer (RO), Mohali, has issued a notice to the Station House Officer (SHO), Sohana, to explain the source of the gymnasium equipment, seized by the surveillance team of the election department on Saturday night.
Activists of a political party had left the gymnasium equipment in Kharar constituency. As per the election code of conduct, no allurement can be given to voters in the form of cash or any other form. The gymnasium equipment, load in a Tata pick-up truck, were left at Bharatpur village in Kharar constituency.
But a villager called the police to inform that someone had left the equipment in their village. The election surveillance team took the equipment into the custody and started probing the matter.
Meanwhile, the RO has issued a notice to the district food and supplies officer to explain the manner in which 21 ration depot licences were issued after the model code of conduct. An NGO had complained that the licences were given to supporters of the SAD. The food and supplies department in its reply stated that the licences had been issued on December 22.

Panchkula, January 1
Those commuting on the Pinjore-Parwanoo bypass will have to face a harrowing time for a few more weeks, as NHAI has jumped the December-31 deadline set for the completion of the work.
The bypass, comprising eight bridges and four underpasses, in fact, is part of the Zirakpur-Parwanoo four-lane project on the National Highway-22.
After its completion, commuters will get rid of traffic jams. While a toll plaza will be set up before Pinjore, there is a proposal to install CCTV cameras on the bypass.
The construction work on the bypass had started two-and-a-half-years ago. The project was supposed to be completed in December last year, but a detailed project report prepared 10 years ago had to be revised as many structures had come up on the land," said Anil Dahiya, project director, NHAI. Following which, new alignments of the road had to be devised which also contributed to the delay in meeting the target.
This time the construction work had already been completed, said the project director. "The road cannot be thrown open to public due to safety reasons, he said. Signsboards are yet to be put up on the bypass, said Dahiya. The work on both the sides of the 10-km road will be completed in 20 days," he added.
104 challaned for drunken driving
A total of 104 revellers were challaned by the Chandigarh police for drunken driving on the New Year eve. The police had specifically laid checkpoints on the roads leading to nightclubs and restaurants to check drunken driving.
DSP (traffic) Vijay Kumar said 104 persons were challaned for drunken driving across the city with maximum share of challans on the roads leading to the nightclubs and restaurants.
"The checkpoints were laid near the celebration points that witnessed huge traffic although nakkas were laid on the major city roads," the DSP said.
The prime locations where checkpoints were laid included Sectors 10, 15, 17, 22, 26, 32, 34, 35 and the roads leading to Sukhna Lake and Mohali.
The police also issued challans for various other traffic violations.
To avoid any untoward incidents, the Aroma hotel was closed down soon after the midnight and heavy security was deployed outside the hotel. The police also registered cases against persons consuming liquor at public place.
Grievances listening camp
The SAD candidate from Mohali, Balwant Singh Ramoowalia, organised a camp by listening to grievances of girls, who had been deserted by NRI grooms.
About 40 girls from different parts of Punjab turned up at the camp. He said most the girls who turned up at the camp had been dumped after they gave birth to girls.
There were three cases, in which girls' family had spent over Rs 20 lakh on the marriage but the boy's family was demanding more before taking the girl home. He said the women cell with the police was often found helping boys' families instead of helping girls.
Mass com in city schools soon
CBSE has already introduced the course at schools in Mumbai, Delhi
Getting good response to its pilot project of introducing Mass Media in class XI and XII in Delhi and Mumbai schools, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is all set to offer it as a full time elective course in all schools from 2012.
Inspired by the increasing craze for media as a career option, the Board has decided to introduce the course in schools to help the students start early and enhance their media education.
"Media today is an industry and one of the most popular career options these days. Many students after completion of their schools head for its courses. Providing the subject as an elective subject in vocational stream will help the students get an edge over others by starting it earlier. It will also go a long way in helping the students make their writing more professional by an added brownie of school magazines," said RJ Khanderao, regional director CBSE.
The course is likely to be included in the syllabus as a vocational stream and will be an elective paper. Once the course gets introduced, the books would be distributed in July.
While the Board claims to be all ready with syllabus, the schools feel apprehensive of going ahead in the absence of proper faculty.
"We will get the course but where to get teachers from? As schools, we cannot afford to pay high salaries matching those being given by the colleges or universities level institutes. Getting it started without proper faculty would be a sheer mockery of it," said a local school principal.
The Board, however, feels that the faculty will not be a problem as it is already planning to collaborate with a renowned multimedia organisation to train language teachers in nuisances of course.

Everything happens in a confined area: a theater built in a wintery piece of land. The space of the story represents the memory of Pinuccia: a continuous influx of images where spaces vary in the time of mental imagination. Holes dig in the earth that substitute rooms; improbable transformations, mutating roles and characters. In this land of imagination it's easy to stumble, to lose oneself, like Pinuccia, in a flux that has little logic or concreteness.

Kevin Dee in between rounds in 2011 at Ottawa's Fight For The Cure. Coached by Final Round's Eric Bellanger and FTEC Founder Jennifer Huggins
Eagle Professional Resources is owned and run by Kevin Dee; a long time believer in the importance of literally fighting to find a cure for cancer.

"This event provides much needed exposure and financial support to Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, and its fight to end cancer. It is because of Jennifer Huggins' vision and drive that this event happens and I am proud to be able to play a part in the event's success.

Membership in the SFPS is simply a matter of signing up to participate in our events, there is NO membership fee and no hoops to jump through, we welcome all shooters who want to join in the action!
Of course there are gear requirements to get started, and there are safety rules and procedures that you must be familiar with before participating in a match. We are here to help you get started! Our New Shooter's Introduction program is designed to ease your transition into match participation through education and training on the basics of competition matches.
Once you have a basic understanding of what we do, and how we do it, then it's time to participate in our New Shooters Introduction program! This program is designed to help you actually get started as a competitor, gain confidence in your abilities to participate in your first match, and set yourself up for a successful start in your new favorite sport! We know that attending your first match can be intimidating and even a little unnerving for those who have never done anything like this before. DON'T WORRY! We're going to help you do things right the first time, and answer all of your questions!
SFPS New Shooter Ambassadors - The club's designated New Shooter Ambassadors are available to answer any questions you might have about how to get involved in the sport. Just use the Contact Us link at the top of the page to "shoot" your questions our way and we'll help with anything you need!
Do I need a membership at the Big Sioux Range to shoot the matches?
No, a range membership at Big Sioux Rifle and Pistol Club is NOT required to shoot any of the matches.
Do I need to join the USPSA to shoot the matches?
No, USPSA membership is NOT required for our "Level 1" monthly club matches.
Only the Level 2 and 3 tournament matches require a USPSA membership. E.g. - Great Plains Sectional Match near Omaha and Area 3 match in Grand Island.
Membership information can be found on the USPSA.ORG web site.
You can pre-register and squad on practicscore website (we really appreciate that, but it's not required). Then when you show up for your first match, leave your gun, ammo and equipment in your vehicle, come to the registration table to get signed in BEFORE 9:00, and then attend Shooter's meeting. During the meeting we will point out where the "Safety Tables" are located, which is the ONLY spot on the range where you can take your gun out of its case (unloaded) and handle it (unloaded) to get it into your holster (if you're shooting a centerfire pistol). You can handle ammunition anywhere on the range EXCEPT at the Safety Tables, and it's ok to pre-load your magazines at home before you arrive, just don't arrive with a loaded gun.
How many rounds should I bring to a pistol match?
Generally for the USPSA Action Pistol matches, a good rule of thumb is at least 200 rounds and "just in case", and bump that up to 250 rounds More is better. It will never hurt to have more ammo than you need, but the opposite means you'll be begging ammo off of your buddies at the match!

Happy shooting, and be sure to contact us at SFPS with any questions!


"Hey, Original Source," I said, feeling magnanimous. "Want to borrow a brush? I've made a lot of extra orange." It's hard to mix a good, true orange.
"Cool," I said, growing self-conscious as she scrutinized my cheap paintbrushes.
Lately, I've been painting sticks and other smooth surfaces. Furniture. Old wooden boxes. Broom handles. Sometimes, I follow the patterns in the wood. Other times, I find an image and sketch it on whatever recycled object is available. I feel a little guilty, but the truth is, I'm a copyist. A reconfigurist. What I add is imperfection, which turns out to be an oddly satisfying addition.
No one creates from emptiness. There's always preexisting light, or former acts of creation, partially dismantled. Digested. Great artists translate and solve problems. I envy their inner vision. But even then, Original Source is present, sometimes made more salient by denial.
She laughed. Original Source laughed. She howled. Her mouth opened wide; her beautiful teeth gleamed. Her mouth was a river. The room filled with clear water and rainbow trout. They swam in adoring circles around her, and after I grew my gills and fins, I joined them. Original Source troubled the waters with ribbons of lavender light. I longed to grab them, but I had no hands. In fact, there wasn't much left of me, and it was such a relief. I wanted to give the rest away. I offered myself to the fish.
Just outside my window, near my elbow, a mourning dove is calling. It's God. I know because of the way the sound has cracked me open. There are days when I wear layers of down, warm and pliant. It's easy to move, propelled by gratitude, aware of eternity. And there are days I when I roll out of bed straight into my specially-made armor—harder to make breakfast but easier to hold it together. In my armor, there's very little light, even less wonder, and it's a bad idea to cry. This day began with armor. Now, I'm going to take it off. This may be a day I'll need to cry.
The wind howled from the mouth of hell through the night. Only a breeze remains. Enough to lift the blue spruce branches so they can wave and remind me of what they've seen. Later, I'll gather the fallen bits and pieces and make a wreath from the shedding and stripping of all we endure. Nothing goes unnoticed. Nothing goes unused or unattended. Nothing goes uncounted. And nothing remains unscathed. This is the promise of second-hand ribbons and wind-fallen sticks.
Usually, I think God is the source of pain in my heart, forming and reforming the never-ending questions of compassion, autonomy, endurance, and finality. Of course, alternatively, the pain in my heart might be indigestion or cardiac blockages soon to dislodge and take me out.
I'm still sittin' at the table, grinning like a damn fool. I know my face gives me away. I suspect I'm in hock up to my ears, but I know the Dealer. He happens to own this place. I wish he had higher standards. Some of these players smell terrible, some appear almost dead. And the table needs work. But the cards keep coming, so I'll ante up. For now.
*Kenny Rogers sang it. Don Schlitz wrote it in 1976.
Driving along I 90, God and I spotted an ominous black billboard with red letters proclaiming "After you die, you WILL meet God." The absurdity made us laugh. When God rides shotgun, the drive gets much more interesting.
"Now there's an eyesore! Who do you think put that up?" God asked. Oh fun, I thought. A road game, like I spy with my little eye. (I play this with the grandchildren.) We'll call this one Who put up that billboard?
"Okay. Let's see. It's got to be someone who's unaware of all the places you hang out. Someone who doesn't understand you make everyone's acquaintance long before they open their eyes." God nodded and gazed out the window, wispy tendrils of lavender floating around his head.
"Any more guesses?" God interrupted my line of thought. An answer had occurred to me. I didn't want to say it, but with God, there's no such thing. I hemmed and hawed. Then I just blurted it.
"It's my neighbor, isn't it?" I tightened my grip on the wheel, eyebrows knit together, angry tears welling up in my eyes.
"Nonsense," I said, giving God a punch in the shoulder.
"Nonsense," God answered. We stopped in Butte for coffee.
God and I stayed up really late last night, watching pretty much anything we could get on regular TV. Except we avoided the news, or anything like the news. Being both omniscient and omnipresent, God has a harder time avoiding current events than I do, but we colluded as best we could. I ate left-over soup. God wasn't hungry.
God stretched out on the loveseat, and I got my yoga mat, intending to do a few sit-ups during advertisements. The TV droned on.
"What's on your mind?" God asked.
"Okay," God said. The TV droned on. God got another pillow and dozed. I turned the lights down low and watched her instead of the TV for a while.
"What're we going to do?" I silently asked the sleeping God. She was so beautiful. The steady rise and fall of her chest, the perfection of her eyebrows, her out-breath filling the room with a wild mixture of sage and lilac, animal musk, homelessness, and newly-minted money.
My human condition crept into the room, and settled beside me. I tried to slap it away and just watch God at rest, but it snuggled up, greedy, ugly, lazy, mortal, needy, vengeful, and as afraid as ever.
My human condition gave me a sideways glance. Almost a dare. Then it eased itself alongside God and went to sleep. I curled up fetal on the floor. The TV flickered, grabbing at my attention like it was for sale. Which it is. Everything is for sale. We all have our price. Except God. Some may not realize this, but you can't buy God off. And God really isn't into tax breaks that hurt the poor. With God, it's more of an all or nothing kind of thing. But she's never believed in trickle down economics. Never.
My human condition had sprawled itself into all the available space. The loveseat looked uncomfortable to say the least, and I was about to refuse, but God had opened her eyes. I can never resist those deep pools of unspeakable welcome.
"But that's the problem," I said, already drowsy. "I don't know what to do." Then I slept. And now she's gone. And my human condition is awake, demanding breakfast. I'm struggling to be hospitable.
"That's it," I hear from the corner. I make more toast and watch the snow drift down.

How big data is driving smarter cyber security tools
April 20, 2015 by Alex Collins, IT Services Consultant
As big data changes and develops, it's being used to create better, smarter cyber security tools. There is real value to using the big data approach to cyber security - especially when it can be used to identify dangerous malware and more persistent threats to the IT security of big companies that handle a lot of data. The number of data breaches in the news seems to grow all the time, and big data may play a big role in preventing much of that.
One of the ways in which big data can help with cyber security is through the storage of data. Because so much data is collected and stored easily, analytic techniques can be used to find and destroy malware. Smaller segments of data can be analyzed, of course, and were analyzed before big data got started in the cyber security area, but the more data that can be looked at all together, the easier it is to ensure that appropriate steps are taken to neutralize any threats. More data gets screened, and it gets analyzed faster, making big data a surprisingly good choice in the cyber security arena.
Malware Behaviors
In the past, malware was usually identified with signatures. Now that big data is involved, that's not realistic. The signature identification concept isn't realistic on a larger scale, so new ways of handling cyber security were needed as soon as big data appeared on the scene. Instead of signature, big data looks at behaviors. How malware or any other type of virus behaves is a very important consideration, and something to focus on when it comes to what can be done to ensure that data is safe.
When something is flagged as having a unique or different behavior, it's possible to isolate the data that has that with it, so it can be determined if the data is safe. Piggybacking malware onto programs and data that are seemingly innocuous is common, because it lets people pass things through before the problem is realized. When behavior is properly tracked, though, the level at which these viruses are allowed to get through is greatly reduced. There are no guarantees, because malware is always changing and new ones are being developed, but the protection offered by big data is large and significant.
The computer power offered by big data is possibly the most significant reason it is so valuable when it comes to detecting and stopping malware. Fast, powerful computers can process data and information so much faster than slower ones that are not able to harness a high level of power. Because of that, there exists the opportunity for more sophisticated techniques for detecting malware when big data is used. The models that can be built for the identification of malware are significant, and big data is the place to build them.
With the power available, it is becoming easier than ever before to find problems before they get started, so malware can be stopped before it advances through a computer system or set of data. That protects the information contained there, and also the system itself from attack and infection. Those who produce malware continually try to change the game so they won't be detected, but as computer power advances the chances of malware avoiding detection continue to shrink.

Luisa Gutierrez (second right), Charge D' Affairs of the Embassy of the Bolívarian Republic of Venezuela; Jose Tomas Ares (right), dean of the diplomatic corps in Jamaica and Bernardo Guanche (third right), ambassador of Cuba to Jamaica, admires the young drummer from the Institute of Jamaica Junior group perform at the Institute of Jamaica and the Simon Bolívar Cultural Centre's 201st anniversary of Bolívar's Letter from Jamaica at the Simon Bolívar Cultural Centre, 10 -12 North Parade, Kingston on Tuesday, September 20.
CEO of the PetroCaribe Development Fund, Dr Wesley Hughes, is pledging continued support of the Simon Bolivar Cultural Centre in downtown Kingston.
Dr Hughes was bringing greetings on Tuesday at the 201st anniversary of Bolivar's famous 'Letter from Jamaica', where he outlined his vision for a liberated and unified Latin America. The event also marked the anniversary of the centre that was opened a year ago.
"We intend to continue to give support from the fund to the centre. Just two years ago - and we're continuing the discussion - our board voted to establishing a fund ... to ensure the maintenance and sustainability of this centre," he said. "It is too important of a monument to allow it not to support itself, but more importantly, to keep it going."
The centre is located at North Parade, bordering on Church Street in the busy area of the capital. Dr Hughes said he would be meeting with officials of the Kingston and St Andrew Corporation and other stakeholders to ensure the building and its surrounding environment are properly maintained.
"We want to have this as a symbol of beauty, a symbol of learning and a symbol of the continued friendship between ourselves and Venezuela. This building represents the deep, long and binding friendship and celebration of our togetherness over 201 years," he said. Bolivar wrote the Carta de Jamaica while he was exiled here in 1815.
"Jamaica is a place that touches many shores, even from where we sit, and the fact that he was exiled here and we have an opportunity to share in this history, we are truly proud of this," said Nadine Boothe-Gooden, manager of the cultural centre. Jacqueline Bushay, director of the junior centres and the Bolivar Centre, read a message from Culture Minister Olivia Grange.
"We are proud that Jamaica provided a place of safety and inspiration for the great liberator to continue his quest for political and economic independence," she read. "We are proud that our country's name is forever linked to a document and a movement that liberated millions of people." Noting the occasion also marked the first anniversary of the opening of the Bolivar centre, the speech from Grange said: "After 201 years, the Carta de Jamaica and the Bolivarian principles remain relevant.
"Let the sentiment of freedom expressed in this unique work inspire us all to make a difference in our world," she added.
Bernardo Guanche, co-ordinator of the Group of Latin American and Caribbean (GRULAC) and Cuban ambassador to Jamaica, noted the formation of groups like GRULAC are fulfilling Bolivar's vision of creating a unified Latin America based on the tenets of sovereignty and anti-colonialism.
"Let use this celebration to call on our beloved continent not to give up the dream and ideas of integration of our founding fathers," he said.

Ball valve in the 20th century, 50 years, with the rapid development of science and technology, production technology and product structure of continuous improvement, in a short period of 40 years, has rapidly developed into a major valve class. In the western developed countries, the use of ball valves is increasing year by year. In China, ball valves are widely used in oil refining, long-distance pipeline, chemical, paper, pharmaceutical, water, electricity, municipal, steel and other industries. The national economy occupies a pivotal position. It has a rotation of 90 degrees of action, the plug body for the ball, a circular through hole or channel through its axis. The ball valve is mainly used in the pipeline to cut, distribute and change the direction of flow of the media, it only needs to rotate 90 degrees of operation and a small turning torque can be closed tight. Ball valve is most suitable for the switch, cut off the valve to use, V-type ball valve. In addition to the valve should pay attention to the pipeline parameters, should pay special attention to the use of environmental conditions, because the electric valve in the electric device is a mechanical and electrical equipment, its use of its use by the environment greatly affected. Normally, the electric ball valve, butterfly valve in the following environment to pay special attention.
1. Metal materials valves: such as carbon steel valves, alloy steel valves, stainless steel valves, cast iron valves, titanium valves, Monel valves, copper alloy valves, aluminum alloy valves, lead alloy valves.
2. Metal body lining valve: such as rubber lined valve, lining fluorine valve, lining the lead valve, lining plastic valve, lining enamel valve.
3. Non-metallic materials valves: such as ceramic valves, glass valves, plastic valves.
Ball of the ball is floating, under the action of the media pressure, the ball can produce a certain displacement and pressed on the outlet side of the sealing surface to ensure that the export side of the seal.
(1) must first identify the ball valve, the downstream pipeline has been unloaded pressure, in order to disassemble the decomposition operation.
(2) non-metallic parts should be immediately removed from the cleaning agent, not a long time soaking.
(3) assembly of the flange on the flange must be symmetrical, step by step, even tighten.
(4) cleaning agent should be with the ball valve in the rubber parts, plastic parts, metal parts and working medium (such as gas) are compatible. When the working medium is a gas, the metal parts can be cleaned with gasoline (GB484-89). Non-metallic parts are washed with pure water or alcohol.
(5) The individual parts of the ball valve that can be decomposed can be cleaned by immersion. The metal pieces that are left with non-decomposed non-metallic parts can be scrubbed with a clean, fine, dipped silk cloth (to prevent the fibers from adhering to the parts). Cleaning to remove all the adhesion of the wall of grease, dirt, plastic, dust and so on.
(6) ball valve decomposition and re-assembly must be careful to prevent damage to the sealing surface parts, especially non-metallic parts, remove the O-ring should use special tools.
(7) after cleaning to be washed wall cleaning agent after evaporation (can be used without cleaning detergent cloth) for assembly, but not for a long time to shelve, otherwise it will rust, dust pollution.
(8) New parts need to be cleaned before assembly.
(9) Use grease to lubricate. Grease should be compatible with ball valve metal material, rubber parts, plastic parts and working medium. When the working medium is a gas, use special gas such as special 221. Apply a thin layer of grease to the surface of the seal mounting groove, apply a thin layer of grease to the rubber seal, apply a thin layer of grease to the sealing surface and friction surface of the valve stem.
(10) shall not be allowed to have metal debris, fiber, grease (except for the provisions of the use of) dust and other impurities, foreign bodies and other pollution, adhesion or stay in the surface of the parts or into the cavity.
