SUMMARY:ACESS Joint Societies Event - Sponsored by 3 ACS Sections
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland Poison Symposia – The Dark Side of Chemistry\nNickname: Arsenic Bar Crawl \nLocation 1: “Spirits of Willoughby” 6:00 PM (Spirits has a huge parking lot)\nSpeaker 1: Mike Fricke\, Akron ACS “Introduction to Arsenic”\nSpeaker 2: Mike Kenney Contact\, Cleveland ACS “Arsenic Poisoning” \nLocation 2: “Nora’s Public House” 7:30 PM (0.2 mile walk from Spirits)\nSpeaker 3: Kevin Kubachka\, US FDA “Arsenic in Foods”\nSpeaker 4: Abe Gutierrez\, Agilent “Arsenic Analysis by ICP-MS” \nLocation 3: “The Wild Goose” 9:00 PM (0.1 mile walk from Nora’s)\n(Invited) Speaker 5: Reid Kirby\, Z-Day Center “Before Manhattan: The Dew of Death”\n(Invited) Speaker 6\, Melissa Tedone\, U of Delaware “The Poison Book Project”\nhttp://wiki.winterthur.org/wiki/Poison_Book_Project \nNotes from Mike Fricke: A little more about Reid Kirby\, who’s abstract is in this chain. I gave a presentation to the Cleveland ACS Section in Jan 2020 about the Cleveland Mousetrap (just before the pandemic started). This is America’s 1918 chemical weapons facility that was built in Willoughby and likely the first WMD factory in the world. Here’s a good primer on the site:\nhttps://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2014/01/17/conants-war-inside-mouse-trap/. \nOur current bar crawl event will roughly follow the route that the Mousetrap soldiers took three times a day as they walked into Willoughby for their meals. For this event\, I wanted to find an authority to speak about the Mousetrap. This proved difficult as local historians: John Grabowski and Alan Rocke were unfamiliar with the story. I contacted authors who have written about the Mousetrap and came up empty. Finally\, I contacted the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) which won the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. Eventually\, I made contact with Alastair Hay with Physicians for Human Rights (2105 Hague Award and Order of the British Empire). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Hay. Alastair Hay put me in touch with Reid Kirby who is very familiar with our Willoughby site and has even held in his hands the infamous black book of notes that Jim Conant kept while building the site. \nMore details to be announced

SUMMARY:ORG - Fall Technical Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Rubber Group Fall Technical Meeting\nSept 26\, 2023 from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM\nHilton garden Inn Twinsburg \nTechnical Presentations: \n“Sustainability in Rubber and Plastics”\nNicki Hershberger\, Senior Technical Advisor\, Akron Rubber Development Laboratories \nOverview of different sustainable / recycled products that can be used in elastomers and how to compound for them. \n“Testing and Analysis Methods for Rubber Durability”\nTom Ebbott\, Vice President\, Endurica LLC \nHaving an impact with durability analysis and predictions starts with good materials data. Reliable and accurate predictive methods require advanced testing equipment\, software\, and analysis methods. Topics of discussion will include testing methods for crack growth and intrinsic strength\, strain-induced crystallization in filled natural rubber compounds\, testing and analysis for ozone aging conditions\, and workflow for durability analysis. \n“It’s Not How Much You Make. It’s How Much You Keep.”\nFred Carter\, Strategic Partner\, Schooley Mitchell \nIn this presentation\, Fred will be sharing practical insights from Schooley Mitchell’s fight against irrational and abusive pricing practices. This will include helping you recognize questionable vendor pricing practices and showing you how to combat prices that aren’t always as fixed as we assume. Afterall\, who doesn’t love paying vague addons like hazmat charges? They sound official and mandated. Not always! Fred’s information will be useful for business owners\, finance officers\, purchasing agents\, or even homeowners who are tired of having too much taken from what they’ve earned. For businesses these methods get millions of dollars returned to their bottom lines. \n
