By now everybody knows that I'm a PPE freak. ANSI Z87.1 EN388 cut level 5 are all parameters I know by heart.

You have to, when you work with torque wrenches, to fasten threaded rods, that can go all the way up to 3000 Newton Meters, you work with rotating and drilling machines then can go all the way up to 10000 RPM / DPS with just A relative Small Guard surrounding about half of the tool, ride trucks with multiple trailers, ride many different types of race machines, ...

In this video you will learn Basic and Advanced to steps for using grinders, in a PPE safe environment.

I myself avoid those small grinders that go to 12000 RPMs I would rather use a huge heavy duty grinder that goes just six and a half thousand RPM. Lower RPM means relative safety, of course that also means more torque per revolution

Even though it doesn't happen often, from time to time I ride with a cyclist who is dedicated to cycling with a passion.

This ride had taken us to a Riverside where a nice bank of mist was manifest. The screen cap of the cycling meter was somewhere in between the ride...

The photograph shot by an amateur, shows two passionate cyclists near a body of water, with a streetlight illuminating the scene. The person in the foreground is wearing a red motorcycle racing suit with "SONY MUSIC STUDIO" and "ANCOTOPROS" written on it, along with a red helmet and blue gloves, and is interacting with a Android phone taking a serene photograph of the other side. The second person, standing behind, is dressed in a dark blue cycling outfit with a green logo and a black cap, smiling and holding a phone. The background features a calm water surface reflecting the trees and sky, with a brick wall and steps leading down to the water. The sky is overcast, and the overall lighting suggests it is either early morning.

I've run a sweet training session a couple of days ago
It was on the time trial race machine, which makes it easy to run at these speeds. At this point in time the bike has a mountain steering setup which means it doesn't have the commandeurs and time trial handlebars, making the performance even more valuable.

De krater van Vix

De krater van Vix (Musée du Pays Châtillonnais)

Vorige week zondag bezocht ik het Musée du Pays Châtillonnais in Châtillon-sur-Seine. Het is een museum zoals er in Frankrijk vele zijn, met een collectie die varieert van opgezette vogels via laatmiddeleeuwse sculptuur en zeventiende-eeuwse prenten tot herinneringen aan een buiten Châtillon allang vergeten generaal. Maar er is één pronkstuk: het enorme bronzen mengvat (“krater” in jargon) dat bij het dorpje Vix is gevonden in het graf van een dame die ietwat voorbarig “Prinses van Vix” is genoemd. Mogelijk gaat het niet om een vrouw, zoals aanvankelijk aangenomen, maar om een man.

De Prinses van Vix – zo zal ik haar toch maar noemen – moet tegen het einde van de zesde eeuw v.Chr. hebben gewoond in het met een Murus Gallicus omgeven heuvelfort dat bekendstaat als Mont Lassois. Een jaar of twintig geleden is daar een opvallend grote woning opgegraven die, met wat fantasie, mag worden aangeduid als haar paleis. Dat weten we natuurlijk niet zeker, maar het is wel zeker dat Mont Lassois lag in de regio van Lotharingen tot en met Beieren waar schitterende elite-graven zijn gevonden uit de Late Hallstatt-periode. De mensen die hier werden bijgezet, beheersten de handel tussen de noordelijke regio’s, waar allerlei grondstoffen vandaan kwamen (textiel, barnsteen…), en de steden in het Mediterrane zuiden.

Torque (Musée du Pays Châtillonnais)

De Prinses van Vix, die rond de vijfendertig jaar oud is geworden, behoorde tot deze elite. En deze reine-prêtresse liet het breed hangen. Ze werd bijgezet in een houten kamer onder een forse grafheuvel, samen met een wagen, aardewerk en mantelspelden. Haar gouden torque, die invloeden verraadt van de Skythen op de oostelijke steppe, is alleen al voldoende reden om een bezoekje te brengen aan het Musée du Pays Châtillonnais.

Maar het gaat me vandaag om dat mengvat, dat in 1953 is ontdekt, en werkelijk enorm is: met een hoogte van 1m65 kon er 1100 liter water en wijn in. Ik heb mijn vriend S. (vijf jaar oud) verteld dat hij erin zou kunnen watertrappelen. Het voorwerp komt uit Zuid-Italië of Sparta, en bestaat uit een sokkel, het eigenlijke mengvat, omgeven door een band met reliëf, oren en een deksel. Het geheel lijkt op zeker moment uit elkaar te zijn gehaald en vervolgens, toen de onderdelen in Gallië waren aangekomen, weer te zijn samengevoegd. Dit is althans wat je zou concluderen aan de hand van de letters die op de diverse delen staan.

Een gorgoon op de krater van Vix

De decoratie is fenomenaal. Op de twee oren staan gorgonen afgebeeld, de reliëfband is versierd met hoplieten en strijdwagens, elk getrokken door vier paarden. Helemaal bovenaan, op de deksel, is een klein beeldje van vrouw in een Grieks gewaad (een peplos).

De reliëfband van de krater van Vix, detail

Mijn docent Mediterrane archeologie, Douwe Yntema, had een leuke speculatie over dit mengvat. De Griekse onderzoeker Herodotos van Halikarnassos vertelt namelijk iets over een mengvat dat de Spartanen cadeau hadden willen doen aan koning Kroisos van Lydië. Dat zou echter zijn gestolen door de mensen van Samos, en dat was aanleiding tot een Spartaanse interventie.noot Herodotos, Historiën 3.47. Yntema vertelde erbij dat het onbewijsbaar was, en persoonlijk geloof ik er niks van, maar dat de Spartanen na de diefstal een militaire operatie organiseerden, dat wordt alleszins geloofwaardig als je de Krater van Vix in Châtillon ziet staan.

[Dit was het 495e voorwerp in mijn reeks museumstukken.]

Do you know that a concept automatic transmission for bicycles has been designed already?

Follow the hackaday link read and learn

It this important by the way to always wear the proper PPE when you ride a bike

hackaday.com/2025/05/15/automa

#Cycling #training #torque #PPE

The screencap is of a mobile device displaying a news article from the website "HACKADAY." The article is titled "AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FOR MANUAL TRANSPORTATION" and is authored by Bryan Cockfield, with 8 comments. The date of the article is May 15, 2025. The article discusses the lack of significant changes in the drivetrain of modern bicycles over nearly a century, mentioning only minor upgrades like electronic shifting. The image features a close-up photograph of a mechanical component, likely part of a bicycle's drivetrain, with visible gears and metallic parts. The background is dark, emphasizing the metallic texture of the component. The article's URL is visible at the bottom of the screen, and the device's status bar shows the time as 00:31, battery level at 89%, and various connectivity icons.

Torque v2.4.0 has been released, and includes first-class strings and support for using label references in calculations for pinned addresses. These features make it possible to align values to data boundaries, and to automatically length-prefix or null-terminate strings without using a wrapper macro. Grab the latest build from the project page.

See the alignment, length-prefixed, and null-terminated examples linked below for examples of how the new changes can be used.

(thanks @akavel for encouraging me to figure out the alignment feature, that was a big one)
