Herrenknecht’s E-Power Pipe Nominate for bauma Innovation Award | Guide Tube Gt60

It might be called “Sex Bomb,” but there’s nothing particularly sexy about it. San Francisco’s Flipper made music that sounded like the opposite of what most would consider sexy. And for that matter, it didn’t even sound like what most of us would associate with punk — where loud and fast once ruled, Flipper played slow and sludgy. Black Flag would do likewise in just a couple years, but in 1982 there was little that sounded like Flipper, and even less that sounded like “Sex Bomb,” a drunken mess of a punk song that took the template of early garage rock from the ’60s and stretched it out over seven minutes, simplified the lyrics (“She’s my sex bomb baby! Yeah!” are the only words in the song) and blasted lots of gnarly sax all over it. It feels nihilistic — the same thing over and over again, gradually becoming messier and messier, with no narrative or point to speak of. And yet, what looks on paper like the most annoying song on the planet ends up sounding infectious beyond the sum of its parts. That’s probably because, for all of its idiosyncrasies and obnoxiousness, “Sex Bomb” simply sounds like the band is having way too much fun.

The so-called coprod sections are joined together via the other tubes. Since the other tubes transmit rotation torque and feed force only, the stress to the threads is minimal and life length is very long. All negative effects of transmitting the impact energy through the threads are eliminated entirely. The result is high-impact power with minimal wear.

Senior research engineer Paul Woskov is exploring a millimeter-wave technology for drilling through rock.

This week they’re told by Vanessa Lucido, CEO of ROC Equipment, that the whole H8 area needs to be monitored due to the compromised ground. Because she cannot be sure of what exactly is taking place underground, she suggests that the treasure hunting team use a vibro hammer, a massive hydraulic tool, on H8 in order to jiggle the huge metal can. Ironically the jarring motion will cause more earth to cave in, but could at the same time cause the surrounding ground to stabilize.

In an expanding market, synthetic fuels could have curious effects. Since they’re made from airborne CO₂ and hydrogen and could be manufactured just about anywhere, they could rearrange the geopolitical order — tempering the power of a handful of countries that now control natural-gas and oil markets. The methane project in Rapperswil-Jona is especially suited for that country’s needs, Markus Friedl, a thermodynamics professor overseeing the project, told me, because Switzerland imports almost all of its natural gas, and its ability to generate energy from renewable sources is limited during the colder months. Carbon-capture-derived fuels, if they become cheap enough, could be a form of energy storage — made in summer, with solar or wind power, and used in winter — that carries a lower cost (and longer life) than batteries.

Although Panini has absorbed Score and DonRuss and improved the product, I still prefer Topps over Panini.

BJM and JHW drafted the manuscript. JHW performed the statistical analyses shown in Figure 1. BJM, JHW, JB, RGM, AART, RHG, SAB, RCB, JDK, RJW, DTH, TEW and AM made substantial contributions to successive drafts and thereby to the intellectual content of this article. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

- Construction of the 312-room permanent employee camp, messing, and staff recreation facilities is complete.

In all honesty, I am still not sure if I like the base design. It certainly looks modern, but it walks the line of being a little busy for my taste. Regardless, I appreciate that Topps tried something new.

Grind. Skronk. Pigfuck. Seemingly every word associated with noise rock sounds incredibly unflattering out of context, and even in context doesn’t fare much better. Before noise rock had a name, rock critics such as Lester Bangs and Robert Christgau came up with their own suitably unpleasant ways of describing the tortured sounds of music oozing out of the American underground in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Out of the roots of hardcore and punk slithered something much nastier and much noisier. That vile beast is the sound we now know as noise rock.

IN: Will Cliff (Bristol Rugby), WillGriff John (Doncaster Knights), Marc Jones (Bristol Rugby), Faf de Klerk (Lions), James O’Connor (Toulon), Jono Ross (Stade Francais), Josh Strauss (Glasgow Warriors), Alexandru Tarus (Bezier).

Best signing: Toby Flood – the prodigal son returns! After a stint in Toulouse, Flood is back on Tyneside and the answer to Geordie prayers. They have not had a classy fly-half, apart from one Jonny Wilkinson, since he left in 2008. He will run the show expertly and could be one of the signings of the season.
