Cleaver edged out experienced Kiwi Warren Parry 6-5 in the final of the day's opening event to claim the second of four qualifying places on offer in this weekend's PDC World Series of Darts event at the Trusts Arena.

The knockout stage also saw Cleaver defeat Kerry Whear, Mike Lacey and Leon Twose for the loss of only four legs as he progressed into the decider.

Tuesday's Qualifier One runner-up Craig Caldwell was a semi-finalist, while last week's Sydney Darts Masters qualifier Cody Harris was joined in the last 16 by Mark McGrath, who competed in the William Hill World Championship last December.

The third DPNZ Qualifier is being held on Wednesday evening, with Rob Modra condemning Qualifier One runner-up Craig Caldwell to another agonizing defeat as the Australian ace earned his debut in front of the television cameras.

Following a 3-0 win over Mike Day in the Last 16, Modra then went all the way to a deciding leg against 2014 Sydney Darts Masters qualifier Damon Heta, Tukina Weko and then in the final against Caldwell.

Caldwell, a New Zealand representative in the World Cup of Darts who qualified to compete in the Perth Darts Masters and Sydney Darts Masters over the past fortnight, will have one final chance to earn a spot in Auckland in Thursday's DPNZ Qualifier four, which will decide the final spot in the tournament.

Tungsten darts are popular among professional players, when comes to the big event Auckland Darts Masters, players would choose tungsten dart to get a higher score in games, for tungsten darts are denser, smaller than other materials darts.

Tungsten darts become the most popular darts among professional players, because tungsten darts are made of high-density metal, so they can be smaller than darts with other material. Besides, tungsten darts have delicate knurling, which make them worthy of being collected.

World number one van Gerwen is bidding to win his fifth World Series of Darts title in the inaugural televised event from New Zealand, which is heading for a sell-out at the Trusts Arena.

The Dutch superstar will face stiff opposition in his first round contest, though, after drawing the DartPlayers New Zealand number one Rob Szabo, a former World Championship qualifier and World Cup of Darts competitor.

New Zealand's Mark Cleaver, who won through Wednesday afternoon's second DPNZ Qualifier in Swanson, will make his big-stage debut against June's Japan Darts Masters finalist Peter Wright.

Wednesday night's third DPNZ Qualifier, Australia's Rob Modra, will make his TV debut against Gary Anderson, the World Champion and Premier League champion who is a three-time World Series of Darts semi-finalist this year.

Thursday's final DPNZ Qualifier is set to take on 16-time World Champion Phil Taylor, who is bidding to win a fourth successive World Series of Darts event following his wins in Japan, Perth and Sydney, where he also landed a nine-darter last weekend.

Adrian Lewis, last weekend's Sydney Darts Masters runner-up, has drawn DPA Qualifier David Platt, while Perth Darts Masters finalist James Wade takes on Australian World Cup ace Paul Nicholson.

Leading Australian Simon Whitlock has drawn number eight seed Stephen Bunting, while Raymond van Barneveld will take on another top DPA star Loz Ryder, who won through Tuesday's opening DPNZ Qualifier in Swanson.

The draw was made live on Radio Sport's "The Sauce" by presenter D'Arcy Waldegrave. A draw was made at the DPNZ Qualifier on Wednesday night to determine which of the final two qualifiers faced either Phil Taylor or Gary Anderson.

Tungsten darts are popular among professional players, when comes to the big event like Auckland Darts Masters, players would choose tungsten dart to get a higher score in games, for tungsten darts are denser, smaller than other materials darts.

Start with 50 of the world’s best bass anglers.

Send them out on Lake Ouachita in the dog days of August.

Just to complicate matters, remove several feet of water from Lake Ouachita, and then send a bizarre mid-summer cold front across Arkansas to suddenly reduce air temperatures by some 15 to 20 degrees.

Oh, and last but not least, offer a half-million-dollar reward to the one angler who can decipher such a labyrinth of conditions across four grueling days of competition, and the result is the 2015 Forrest Wood Cup.

One man who is familiar with solving such complicated bass fishing equations for big money is Jacob Wheeler. In fact, it’s safe to say that with a Bass Fishing League All-American trophy (2011) and a Forrest Wood Cup (2012) already in his living room, Wheeler has a knack for figuring out the most complex of conditions when the stakes are highest … and he is at it again.

Wheeler took the day-one lead at the Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita and hosted by Visit Hot Springs and the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism with 16 pounds, 2 ounces and now is poised to possibly be the first two-time Cup winner in history.

Ironically, Wheeler fished his first Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita in 2011 and finished 12th. In that event he mostly committed to fishing around the bank with top waters.

Wheeler says this time around that pattern is not as strong, but he still feels that’s where the potential for a quality bite is highest. Today he had to alternate between suspended fish in timber and wolf packs of hunting bass on the bank to accumulate his leading weight. His numbers of fish are coming from his suspended-fish pattern, but his quality bass – a lone 5-pounder – came shallow.

“I started the day out in the timber chasing schoolers and suspended fish just to get a few in the live well,” Wheeler adds. “It seems like those suspended fish are bunched up a little tighter in the mornings and are a little more reliable during the early hours.

“Those bank fish are better quality, but they’re not near as consistent,” he continues. “For me, trying to run the bank all day is too risky this time around. Getting a few in the well early from the trees let me calm down and fish the bank like I needed to. My biggest fish of the day came from the bank. I ran that pattern for another hour or so and didn’t catch another one. Like I said, it’s a dicey deal.”

Later in the afternoon, Wheeler returned to his deeper fish and managed to cull up a couple times.

“Today worked out perfectly,” he adds. “Going into it I figured I needed 14 to 15 pounds today to get off on the right foot for a winning pace. We still have three more days to go, and I think I’m going to need at least one more 15-pound day and two more 12- to 13-pound days to make it happen – that’s my goal anyway.”

Tungsten is the most popular of all the substitutes to make fishing sinker, tungsten fishing sinker is heavier, denser, and smaller than traditional lead sinkers in the same weight class. So tungsten fishing sinker is suited for professional fishing match.

The weather across the Ozarks was unstable and volatile today – much like the leader board on the third day of the Forrest Wood Cup at Lake Ouachita.

First there was rain. Then sun shows. Then wind. Then another round of storms thrashed the top 20 pros just before check-in.

Names on the leader board swirled about as well. Weights were the lowest of the week, with Bryan Thrift checking in the day’s best weight of 14 pounds, 3 ounces for his biggest move of the tournament from 10th to fourth place. But some, like day-two leader Ramie Colson Jr., endured the dark clouds of not being able to complete a limit, which dropped him to third place.

By day’s end it was Jacob Wheeler who found the sunniest spot atop the leader board, regaining his first-place position from day one with a 14-pound limit, which gives him a three-day total of 41 pounds, 1 ounce and a scant 12-ounce lead over second-place pro Brad Knight.

Interestingly, as Wheeler and Knight battle it out on the final day, their strategies are very different. Wheeler is running a true pattern across the lake. Knight, however, is banking primarily on one area for the win.

From the beginning Wheeler has ascertained that he knows the pace, the technique and the baits to win on Lake Ouachita in August.

His two-part approach is to haunt schoolers in the morning for a few keepers to get his live well wet. Then at about 9 a.m. he hits the bank to gamble on the better quality, yet more inconsistent bream-eating bass. For three days, his plan has worked, except for a small hiccup on day two when he lost three 3-pounders that would have given him a bit more cushion going into the final day.

“I said from the beginning it would take two 15-pound days and two 12- to 13-pound days to win,” Wheeler says. “I feel I’m on that pace. I had the bites yesterday to pad that a little bit, but those bites at least let me know that I’m doing the right thing.”

Today Wheeler started the day with three keepers from the schooling spot, and then he hit the shallows to catch three more off the bank. One of those was close to 4 pounds – the exact kind of kicker Wheeler is counting on to reach the teens and stay on the winning pace.

No matter if he is fishing schoolers or running the bank, Wheeler is doing nearly all his damage on topwater walking baits. During the day he is rotating through a variety of walkers, but his two primary choices are a Storm Arashi Top Walker and an older Reaction Innovations Vixen in a smaller size than the standard Vixen.

“I have one bank that I hit each day because it has produced several of my better fish,” he says. “Other than that I am constantly running new water, fishing fast and staying on the move. I plan to run the exact same program tomorrow: schoolers early and then running the bank the rest of the day.”

Should Wheeler win on Sunday, he would make history as the first two-time winner of the Forrest Wood Cup.

Tungsten fishing sinker is suited this kind of professional games for its high-density and small volume, in the mean time, tungsten fishing sinker is harmless to environment.

The DPA Australian Grand Prix leader secured his spot in a third successive PDC World Series of Darts event with the success in the first of four DPNZ Qualifiers being held at the Swanson RSA in Auckland.

Perth-based Ryder followed up a whitewash of Damon Heta - a Sydney Darts Masters qualifier last year - with wins over top New Zealanders Mike Day, Warren Parry and Caldwell in the final three rounds of the qualifier.

The win secures Ryder's place in the inaugural Auckland Darts Masters, which is being held from Friday August 28-Sunday August 30 at the Trusts Arena in Auckland.

The DPNZ Qualifiers continue on Wednesday with two events, with the final qualifying event to take place on Thursday ahead of the main event's first round on Friday night.

As for professional games like Auckland Darts Masters, we recommend tungsten darts. Nowadays, tungsten darts are the most popular darts among professional players. Because they found its value are far more than price. It’s all known that tungsten is a high-density metal, so it makes tungsten darts smaller than other materials (in the same weight).

Xiamen Fanya Commodity Trading Center, a subsidiary of Fanya Group, will launch business of terbium, dysprosium and neodymium today, according to a report covered by Fanya Metal Exchange.

As Info-RE reported, Fanya Metal Exchange listed oxides of dysprosium and terbium on Ocotber 31, 2014 and large quantities of the oxides were sold out soon.

The exchange with a registered capital of RMB100 million ($16.37 million), was officially incorporated on February 16, 2011. Its main business is to provide electronic trading, delivery and settlement services for non-ferrous metals.

The Kunming city, Yunnan province-based exchange started indium trading in April 2011, and bismuth and gallium trading in February 2013. In addition, germanium, cobalt metal and APT, vanadium pentoxide and antimony are also listed on Fanya. Fanya has succeeded in building a leading position in indium and bismuth electronic markets.

Commodity exchanges have sprung up over time either at the source of the capital in major financial centres (e.g. LME and New York Mercantile Exchange) or at the source of the product traded (e.g. the various spice exchanges in India) or the attempts to launching exchanges in Indonesia and Malaysia dealing in local products such as tin or palm oil.

As is well known the Chinese dominate a number of metals through the production of the raw material and at the same time are important as the end-consumers or processors of the same metals. Thus to some extent it makes sense that the trading of these metals should take place at exchanges within China rather than in some far distant place like Singapore or London. Moreover it would seem the Chinese are also tired of the low value added that the big trading houses bring to the equation. Knowing the end users in a space like Antimony or Rare Earths, for instance, is no rocket science. Everyone knows who they are, so why would one need some slick-suited bankerish type intermediating the transaction when in some cases the product is produced in China and ends up in an industrial application within China?

Bringing Home the Bacon

The issue has been addressed in two ways. Firstly we saw the Hong Kong-backed acquisition of the London Metal Exchange (reminiscent of the old advertisement featuring Victor Kiam saying “I liked the product so much I bought the company”). Secondly the establishment of exchanges within China such as the Shanghai Metals Exchange for bulk products (in competition with the LME and more recently with the appearance of the FANYA Metals Exchange in Yunnan province with a focus upon those specialty metals that China has quite literally “made its own”.

Hot Springs, Ark. – Professional angler Brad Knight of Lancing, Tennessee, crossed the stage with a five-bass limit weighing 11 pounds, 7 ounces Sunday to claim the title of Forrest Wood Cup Champion at the Forrest Wood Cup at Lake Ouachita. Knight, with a four-day total of 20 bass for 51-12, won by a 3-pound, 15-ounce margin over Ramie Colson Jr., of Cadiz, Kentucky, and won the $500,000 top award in professional bass fishing’s world championship that featured 50 of the best professional anglers in the world casting for the sport’s largest prize.
 
“This is unbelievable and it still has not sunk in yet,” said Knight, a seven-year veteran of the FLW(Fishing League Worldwide) Tour who earned the first victory of his career in this championship event. “It is so humbling to add my name to the list of great champions that have won this Cup before. I may never catch another bass again as long as I live, but no matter what happens from here on out, I’ll still be a Forrest Wood Cup champion. To be a part of that club, that is something that nobody can ever take away from me.
 
“I had such a tough practice,” Knight continued. “We get three days to figure out the lake, and on the second and third day of practice I did not have a single keeper bite. I found an area in the back of Blakely Creek that was the only place that I was confident that I could even get a single bite and that spot turned out to be gold.”
 
Knight said that the back of the creek had a lot of standing timber and lay downs that he would target each morning with a 6-inch straight-tail worm on a drop-shot rig. As the day progressed, Knight would move out into the main creek and target a deeper creek channel mud flat with buzz bait. Weather conditions changed on Sunday and Knight said that he made a key adjustment, finding success using a homemade balsa squarebill-crankbait.
 
“The drop-shot rig was the most consistent each day,” said Knight. “The buzz bait was a big player for me on the first day. Then, today, the wind changed directions and was blowing directly into the creek. It dirtied the water up and the fish got up shallow and were active. I pulled out an old square bill plug that I hadn’t caught a fish on in five years and that turned out to be my key bait today.”
 
“When you win a Tour-level tournament, that is a career-changer and a great feather in your cap,” Knight said. “But, when you win the Forrest Wood Cup is a life-changer. I’ve got a 3-year-old girl who now has college paid for. I can write a check and pay off my house when I get home. The thoughts that are running through my head right now are how I can best provide for my family. This is just a humbling, humbling experience.”

Tungsten fishing sinker is suited this kind of professional games for its high-density and small volume, in the mean time, tungsten fishing sinker is harmless to environment.
