Ms Dixon was raped and murdered on her walk home from a comedy show in the Melbourne

CBD last Tuesday night. A passer-by discovered her body in the middle of the soccer pitch on
Wednesday morning.
On Monday morning, firefighters were forced to remove paint markings from the memorial after
they were discovered by police during a routine patrol about 3.50am.

FULL WORLD CUP STATS

Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil, France, Brazil. Germany, Argentina, Italy,


Argentina, Germany. Brazil, England, Brazil, Brazil, Germany, Uruguay.

Those are the nations – only eight in total – who have won every World Cup
for the past 68 years, every time sport’s pre-eminent tournament has been
held since its resumption after World War II in 1950.

Anyone looking to strike a bet on this year’s tournament would probably save
themselves plenty of money and headaches by not looking outside that group,
which is reduced to seven by the fact that Italy has not even qualified this time
round.

Seven runners in a race of 32 is, however, almost a quarter of the field, and it
can probably be whittled down still further given that England and Uruguay
have both won it only once, and the most recent of those was 52 years ago in
England’s case.

Flashback: The German squad celebrate four years ago.

cookware manufacturers developed proprietary PTFE-based formulas, including Swiss Diamond
International, which uses a diamond-reinforced PTFE formula;[11] Scanpan, which uses a
titanium-reinforced PTFE formula;[12] and both All-Clad[13] and Newell Rubbermaid's Calphalon,
which use a non-reinforced PTFE-based nonstick.[14] Other cookware companies, such as Meyer
Corporation's Anolon, use Teflon[15] nonstick coatings purchased from DuPont.
In the 1990s, it was found that PTFE could be radiation cross-linked above its melting point in an
oxygen-free environment.[16] Electron beam processing is one example of radiation processing.
Cross-linked PTFE has improved high-temperature mechanical properties and radiation stability.
This was significant because, for many years, irradiation at ambient conditions has been used to
break down PTFE for recycling.[17] This radiation-induced

NPT stands for National Pipe Thread and is an American standard thread. It may also be reffered to as MPT , MNPT or NPT (M) fo
FNPT or NPT(F) for female interal threads. A thread sealant must always be used to achieve a leak free seal (except for NPTF). It

Both threads have the same pitch, angle (60 degrees) and shape (flat peaks and valleys).

BSP vs NPT
NPT threads are common in the United States and a few other countries, BSP threads are widely used in many other countries.

BSPT -British Standard Pipe Taper


BSPP -British Standard Pipe Parallel
NPT -National Pipe Taper
NPS -National Pipe Straight
While the actual specified outside diameters of American National Pipe differ slightly from those of British Standard Pipe, either thr
pipe of its respective trade size. BSPT equivalent is NPT and BSPP’s equivalent is NPS.
Never swap threads if it is a high pressure application.

NPT/NPS and BSP threads are not compatible due to the differences in their thread forms, and not just the fact that most sizes hav
threads have a 60° angle and have flattened peaks and valleys (Sellers thread form) where as BSP threads have a 55° angle and

NPT and BSP thread pitches (threads per inch) are listed below. To determine pitch, use a thread gauge or count the number of th

Thread size refers to the nominal bore of the pipe.


Subtract approx. 1/4″ (6mm) from thread diameter measurement for
nominal pipe size.
Pitch is Threads Per Inch (TPI).
“Gas”, “R” & “G” also refer to BSP.
“Male Iron (Pipe)” may be BSP or NPT.
