COLUMBUS, Ohio – The No. 1/2 Ohio State women’s hockey team earned a shutout in game one of this weekend’s series against Bemidji State, defeating the Beavers, 5-0, Friday night at the OSU Ice Rink. The Buckeyes (11-1-1, 11-1-1 WCHA) had eight different players tally a point in the game, led by graduate Paetyn Levis and junior Jenna Buglioni with three points apiece.
How it Happened
Ohio State scored its first goal of the game at 10:03 in the opening period. Madison Bizal sent a shot from the top of the faceoff circle inside the Beavers’ zone, through traffic and past Bemidji State goaltender Hannah Hogenson. Sophie Jaques and Jenn Gardiner added assists on the goal, which would end up being the game-winner.
The Buckeyes extended their lead with under three minutes to play in the opening frame on a goal from Makenna Webster. The Buckeyes swarmed the Beavers as they attempted to clear their territory, and Buglioni halted their advance. The Port Moody, B.C. native collected the puck behind the Bemidji State goal and sent it into the slot to Levis. Levis then knocked it to Webster, who sent it past Hogenson at 17:19.
Despite a scoreless second period, Ohio State killed off another penalty and Amanda Thiele made eight saves to keep Bemidji State off the board in the middle frame.
Ohio State lit the lamp three times in the final 20 minutes of action to take game one of the series from Bemidji State. The third period started and ended with goals from Levis, who scored at 4:04 and then again at 15:28. For her first goal, she beat a 2-on-1 to put the Buckeyes up 3-0 on the Beavers off assists from Buglioni and Jamie Grinder. Her second goal was a shorthanded one, as she took advantage of a mishandled puck at the blueline and outskated the Bemidji State defensemen for Ohio State’s final tally of the night.
Buglioni added a goal of her own at 9:13 off assists from Jamie Grinder and Kenzie Hauswirth. Grinder sent a shot on target that forced Hogenson to make a save, and Buglioni was right in front to capitalize off the rebound.
Thiele finished the day with 19 saves for Ohio State. The team blocked 14 shots on the day to earn the clean sheet.
- Amanda Thiele earned her second straight shutout in the Buckeyes’ 5-0 win over Bemidji State. With 19 saves in the contest, she improves to 8-1-0 on the year. Friday’s shutout is also the third straight for the Buckeyes. The last…

This year I celebrated my tenth year of providing OB/GYN care to those in our community and surrounding counties. I chose to practice in La Grange because the community was similar to the small town in which I was raised in eastern Kentucky. My goal was to bring quality care from the “city” to our community so our residents didn’t have to drive to town for excellent care.

Flat Belt Pulleys
Smooth belt pulleys are used in transmission systems that are driven by toned belts, typically high-speed, low-power applications in textiles, paper producing, and office machinery such as for example computer printers. Flat belts are also used for conveyors. Compared to plied belts of equal horsepower, flat belts are slimmer by 25% or more, which allows flat belt pulleys to end up being smaller than V-belt pulleys. Flat belts are also less expensive than belts used in a serpentine belt pulley. One safety factor can be that in overtorque situations, the belt can slide, stopping damage to equipment other than the belt itself. Flat belts require smooth pulleys and flat pulley idlers. They do not necessarily require grooved smooth belt pulleys. A set pulley idler can also be used for the trunk side of a typical V-belt. Flat belt drive pulleys apply motive capacity to the belt.
Toned belt pulleys and smooth belt idler pulleys may have a molded crown, which helps to centre the belt, prevents rubbing against the outside flanges, and provides support under the center of the belt, where there is the most stress. The crown also helps to keep the belt on the smooth belt pulley (belts have a tendency to move to the tightest posture). Occasionally, a set belt drive carries a tracking sleeve or other mechanism for keeping the belt on the toned pulley.
Specifications for toned belt pulleys include:
· belt width
· outside diameter
· bore size
· hub diameter
· hub projection
Tension on a set belt is usually established by adjusting the distance between pulleys to extend belts by a tiny amount, such as for example 2%.
Standards for smooth belt pulleys happen to be maintained by the International Group for Standardization (ISO) Specialized Committees 41 (pulleys and belts) and 101 (continuous mechanical handling products). In the Nationwide Electrical Companies Association (NEMA) publication, Motors and Generators (MG 1), Section 14.7 mentions smooth belt pulleys.
Flat Belts Information
Flat belts are created for light-duty power transmission and high-effectiveness conveying. They will be best-appropriate for applications with small pulleys and significant central distances. Toned belts can connect outside and inside pulleys and can come in both unlimited and jointed construction. They have a high power transmission effectiveness, are affordable, and are simple to use and install.
The tiny bending cross-section of the smooth belt causes little bending loss. The frictional engagement on the pulley outer surface requires only a tiny cross-section and makes smooth belts very flexible, leading to negligible energy loss. A flat belt will not require grooves, reducing the strength loss and put on from the belt wedging in and taking out from the grooves.
Additional benefits of toned belts include energy cost savings, a long service life of belts and pulleys, less down-time and large productivity, and low noise generation from a easy belt operation. Toned belts can be installed merely and securely. Belts will be tensioned to the calculated first tension by means of basic calculating marks to be employed to the belt. There is a constant stress on the belt so the belt will certainly not have to be re-tensioned.
A disadvantage of flat belts is their reliance on belt tension to produce frictional grip over pulleys. This high belt pressure necessary to transmit power generally shortens bearing life. Another disadvantage is their inability to track properly given that they tend to climb towards the higher area of the pulley, which is why V-belts > have grown in acceptance. A V-belt is usually a simple belt for power transmission. They are generally endless in construction and their cross-section shape is trapezoidal, supplying it the identity V-belt. The V condition of the belt tracks in a mating groove in the pulley to ensure that the belt cannot slide off.
Three common designs of flat belts include:
Fabric ply belts contain several plies or layers that are made of cotton or synthetic fiber, with or without rubber impregnation. The number of plies determines the belt thickness that can help determine the minimal pulley diameter for the travel.
Cloth cord belts are constructed with multiple cords created from cotton or synthetic fibers such as for example rayon, nylon, plastic material, or Kevlar. They happen to be incased in rubber and covered with a fabric/runner covering. This type is normally classed as a heavy-duty flat belt, used for excessive speeds, little pulley diameters, and shock loads. Steel cables can also be used as they have higher ability and lower stretch than cloth cord flat belts.
Synthetic flat belts are produced from nylon. Nylon presents flexibility, extremely substantial tensile durability, and operates effectively at high rim speeds. The belts will be thin and they may consist of several plies of thin nylon bonded collectively to form a tough but flexible smooth belt.
Smooth belts generally have a traction level made of oriented polyamide with two covers of elastomer leather or textile material and one intermediate coating of fabric on each area. The traction coating absorbs the forces exerted on the belt when electricity is usually transmitted. The friction cover ensures that the peripheral drive functioning on the belt pulleys can be transmitted to the belt and vice-versa.
Specifications that are important to consider include: belt type, belt width, and initial elongation. If any of these factors change, the belt must be recalculated.
Power transmission belt material types include polyester, aramide, and polyamide.
Polyester is the most frequent material due to it price-to-value ratio. It gives a versatile belt that can be used in an array of operating temperatures with low energy consumption, high flexibility, and dependable performance.
Aramide is a strong choice for very long belts due to the brief take-up and high precision for number of revolutions (RPM) and belt speed. It is highly flexible, simple to join, has a high E-modulus, and low energy consumption.
Polyamide is reliable and has a long service lifestyle. It can work in a number of conditions and capabilities well in extreme conditions with intermittent overload and substantial temps. Polyamide is shock resilient and grooves allow high grip.
Belt width is merely the width of the belt. The tensile push for 1% elongation per product of width after running-in (N/mm), k1% a.r.i., is the decisive worth for calculating the required belt width and the resulting shaft load after belt relaxation
Correct and sufficient initial elongation is a pre-requisite for trouble-free operation of power transmission smooth belts. The calculated primary elongation (ε0) must be observed. In devices with a tensioning pulley, the pulley is located on the slack aspect and pushes the belt to supply the required initial elongation. In systems with out a tensioning device the mandatory initial elongation depends upon reducing the space of the shortened belt length, which may be the fabrication length. Always utilize the calculated first elongation supplied by the manufacture when putting in a belt.
When selecting a belt drive it is vital to consider the speeds of and electricity transmitted between drive and driven unit, suitable distance between shafts, and appropriate operating conditions.
The equation for power is:
Electric power (kw) = (torque in newton-meters) x (rpm) x (2∏ radians)/(60 sec x 1000W)
The energy transmission flat belt can be used in many forms of power transmission. It is referred to as a two pulley drive, consisting of a driving pulley, a powered pulley, and the belt. Below are types of pulley design variations.
Flat belts may be customized for an array of applications. Such configurations consist of an incline to transport product to some other level. Flat belts could also have a tracking sleeve beneath the system to make sure that the belt does not slide, or that the coefficient of friction could be adjusted to avoid slippage.
Normal applications include conveyors, compressors, machine tools, and additional heavy industrial equipment.
Flat belts must adhere to certain standards and requirements to make sure proper design and functionality. JIS B 1852is definitely important for pulleys for flat tranny belts and ISO 22 is used to identify dimensions and tolerances for toned tranny belts and corresponding pulleys.

عنوان مقاله [English]
To convey their messages to their readers, writers and poets of different nations have benefitted from the subject of journey or travel. Some of these writers and poets have given the subject a symbolic meaning, others have given it a mystic and spiritual significance, still others have used it to reform and guide the people of their own society. What is almost certain is that from both the writer’s and the reader’s perspectives the subject has been regarded as important.
In English and American literature also one can find many examples in which journey or travel has been used as a background for conveying different messages and ideas. The paper intends to present some of these literary works. Moreover, factors or elements that have played a determining role in the shaping of those literary works will also be discussed.

This weapon is inspired by the M202 FLASH incendiary rocket launcher, made most famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1985 film Commando. While in real life, this weapon is only capable of firing 66mm incendiary rockets, it's often portrayed as an outright missile launcher in movies and video games, and I decided to go with this (unrealistic) interpretation as well for my version.
I started with the base game Laser Rifle mesh and removed everything except for the rounded-square tube body. I then added the barrel of the 25mm Grenade APW from the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC, the carry handle from the Missile Launcher, and the grip and trigger from the Fat Man.
The following properties, perks and challenges apply to this weapon:
|Ammo Use Per Shot||1||Regen Rate||N/A|

Lobbying to stay: The Chinese students’ campaign to stay in Australia
Source TitleInternational Migration

This paper examines the way in which onshore asylum seekers lobby to stay in the host country permanently, and how they interact with local institutions. This study is based on a multi-method case study of about 45,000 Chinese nationals in Australia, mostly students, who sought to stay after the so-called political disturbance of 1989 in China. The students succeeded in obtaining residence by pursuing intensive lobbying activities over a period of about four years from June 1989 to November 1993, becoming the largest onshore migration intake in Australian history. This paper is concerned with how the students and their organizations negotiated the changing stance of the Australian government towards asylum seekers, and the way in which the students harnessed resources in the campaign. It examines the strategies adopted by the students, the roles of the main local institutions in the issue, and analyses the permissiveness of local polities.

„Death of Nola is really bad news. With every dead individual, human responsibility for saving this critically endangered species is deepening,“ said Přemysl Rabas, director of Dvůr Králové Zoo. Presently, group of the top scientists in Europe led by Dvůr Králové Zoo and IZW Berlin is developing a method for artificial reproduction of northern white rhinos. Dvůr Králové Zoo is together with Ol Pejeta Conservancy trying to raise funds for this research with a Gofundme campaign called Make a Rhino. Another similar scientific group works in San Diego.
„Scientists have at their disposal biological material not only from our live animals but also from the already dead rhinos. Although our San Diego colleagues did not succeed in natural reproduction, there is still a hope that they can significantly contribute to the rescue of the northern white rhino through genetical technologies,“ added Přemysl Rabas.
In fact, Nola’s death does not prevent scientist from achieving this purpose. The female has been suffering from health problems for several months. The rhino's condition had worsened substantially on Saturday, and one day later zoo veterinarians made the decision to euthanize her.
With approval of Dvůr Králové Zoo, the samples were taken from dead Nola and there is still a possibility to use these samples for a potential artificial reproduction of northern white rhinos. Also, Dvůr Králové Zoo has been approached by Smithsonian Institute in Washington with a request to donate Nola’s remains to this institution. The negotiation has not been completed yet.
40 years lasting efforts
Dvůr Králové Zoo brought the initial group of northern white rhinos from Sudan in 1975. The zoo remains the only facility where northern white rhinos have bred. In total, four calves were reared here.
However, natural reproduction was not sufficient for the rescue of this species. Besides research of a hormonal cycle in Dvůr Králové, the zoo has cooperated with IZW Berlin on the artificial techniques of reproduction since 2001. Unfortunately, even repeated attempts to artificially inseminate females did not result in a rhino pregnancy. For that reason zoo decided to try another way how to prompt their breeding. In December 2009 the zoo moved its two females and two males to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
The animals acclimatized to African savanna very soon. Their state of health got better, moreover, hormonal cycles of both females improved. Repeated matings were observed but none of these came to fruition. In autumn 2014 one of the transported males died.
For this reason, Dvůr Králové Zoo together with IZW Berlin, Ol Pejeta and Kenya Widlife Service examined these last rhinos in November 2014. The health-checks proved that not a single female is capable of getting pregnant in a natural way. However, both females could become egg donors for a potential in vitro fertilization and artificial creation of embryos. Females of related southern white rhino then could carry the embryos to term as a surrogate mothers.
Dvůr Králové Zoo is appealing to people all over the world to help. All funds raised on our Gofundme page, gofundme.com/makearhino, go directly to the IVF initiative aimed at saving the northern white rhino.

Merry and Magical..part 3..
Part 2 Merry and Bright..
An Assortment of Christmas cards..
Todays cards use an assortment of embossing folders, dies and a little bit of older Stampin Up christmas paper. When Stampin Up brought out this range of paper a couple of years ago I loved it so much a bought a bit more than I needed, so I have a nice supply of these cute deers, and the little village houses. I have used glitter paper, and they all came together so easily. This is my favourite kind of card making..little scenes…and also shows how easy it is to combine Christmas stash with ordinary embossing folders and dies. I have finished with Christmas card making now, and this week have been playing with some gorgeous Mintay papers for an upcoming project. I am hoping this week to get a bit more crafting done, I have got so many papers still not cut into and i have to start thinking about filling my boxes for the craft fair next year!! Til next time….
Kaisercraft Under the Gum Leaves
This week I have been making some Christmas cards with an Australian theme using Kaisercraft Under the Gum Leaves collection. I have enjoyed using this pretty paper with lots of cute Australian animals , nice sentiments and pretty background papers. Because I made these when I was at our monthly crafting get together I was forced to keep them very simple ..no bling or ribbon to be found in my bag but truly I like them as is so that is how they will stay. Today is a free day so i will be found in the craft room… til next time….
Assorted Christmas cards..
These three cards were made with lots of bits and pieces left on my desk after other projects. The top card has a bauble die, embossed background, my Merry Christmas die, and ribbon. The second card is a favourite design of mine – all white, a little embossing,and minimal stamping. The third card has some washi tape, music paper, one layer of a poinsettia die with a holly leaf on top and again the merry christmas die. All of these cards are perfect if you are making quite a few cards the same. Today my job in the craft room is to prepare the inserts for all my Christmas cards… a job I always seem to leave til last! Til next time….
Prima Christmas in the Country part 2…
Here are the other three cards I made with Prima Christmas in the Country. I made these ( and the previous three cards) as a pack for my ladies, so there are six different papers out of the A4 paper pad, a few Prima holly branches ( gorgeous), a couple of metals and some cardstock. They are very simple to put together and I love the vintage feel!This week i have had a break from crafting as I did painting of a different nature and painted nathans bedroom. I am clearly a very messy painter as I am still trying to remove the splatters from my arms, legs and even toes!! Today I am looking forward to resuming my usual seat at my craft desk! til next time….
Prima Christmas in the Country..
We are deep into Christmas card making now and these are cards I made with my second Christmas paper purchase..Prima Christmas in the country. I just used the A4 pad, and did some fussy cutting. With the addition of a holly die, some Prima holly leaves, lace, metals and some matting these cards came together easily. I have moved away from papers now and have started doing some die cutting and embossing to make full use of all my Christmas dies – those ones will be up after next week when we finish with the Prima! Til next time….
Final Stamperia Pink Christmas cards
Five more Christmas cards made with Stamperia Pink Christmas. I have done a couple more with this paper collection, and still have papers to do more, but we will move on next week with something a little different!In the meantime these ones speak for themselves… except for a little lace and flowers on a couple of them it is all just the paper. Great value collection!Yesterday I had a lovely day meeting up with a gathering of fellow crafters. We had a great time and lots of projects and ideas were shared.I can’t wait til we meet up again next month! Til next time ….

Recently one of PMall.com’s fans shared a story on our Facebook Fan Page. Her name is Aprille and her story was so touching we knew that we had to share it will all of the rest of our fans (please continue reading for the link to Aprille’s full blog post below).
Aprille, who is a Military Wife and Mother, has started her own family tradition by creating at least one new PMall.com Personalized Photo Ornament each Christmas.
She remembers her first ornament fondly as it was the first Christmas she spent with her husband.
Then there are the ornaments she personalized with the words “Almost Together” to capture the heartbreaking Christmas that she and her son had to celebrate without their husband and father because he was deployed.
Last year she decided that her “Almost Together” ornament needed a sequel so she personalized a new ornament that featured a beautiful family photo and the words, “Together Forever” to celebrate the Christmas they shared as a family.
She was thrilled to be able to serendipitously capture that moment and turn that into another ornament that she will always treasure.
We are so thankful to Aprille for sharing her story and the photos of all her ornaments and we are honored that we are able to play a small role in her beautiful new Christmas tradition!
Check out Aprille’s full story, ”Our Christmas Ornament Tradition” from her Beautiful In His Time Blog, by clicking the previous link. When you get to her blog you’ll be able to see photos of all the ornaments she has personalized and you’ll be able to hear the touching story straight from her!
We’d like to say Thank You again to Aprille for sharing her story and if any other PMall fans out there have stories about any of the gifts they’ve personalized from PMall.com we’d love to hear them! Email your stories to firstname.lastname@example.org.

BENETTON KILLER LOOP COLLECTION
The Benetton KILLER LOOP collection is a mosaic of cultural influences and inspirations taken straight from the street. From extreme vintage to gym chic and urban ski. As always, this unisex collection features several cross-collection pieces for those who like to mix styles and colours.
Benetton KILLER LOOP Collection
The most "urban" mood could be called Street Graffiti: a mixture of suggestions borrowed from the street - such as tattoos and spray graffiti - are seen everywhere, from jackets to knits. The fluorescent orange, fuchsia, acid green, turquoise or yellow of "murals" are matched with rather more "concrete" shades such as dun, cement grey, charcoal, black. Canvas, nylon and heavy cottons are the textiles for sewn garments, while jersey and tricot create a range of sweaters, sweatshirts and pullovers - figure-hugging for her, definitely oversize for him. Trousers, skirts, minis, three-quarter jackets, bombers and waistcoats all have multi-pockets, myriad accessories and inlays, and are highly constructed and detailed.
The Graphic theme features cartoon characters in typical Killer mood in a series of placed prints - some with a handmade look - on sweatshirts, T-shirts and polo shirts.
This season’s denim warrants special attention: new shapes and treatments provide a selection of fresh, inventive apparel. Sanding, sponging, whiskers, dirty washes, bleaching and carefully-positioned rips make for highly unusual trousers, skirts and jackets. Styles range from roomy oversize with pockets and multiple stitching to "sprayed-on" figure-hugging 80s-style for her.
The Killer Loop logo appears everywhere on back pockets and always looks hand-embroidered.
Matching accessories - gloves, scarves, bags, sacks and footwear - harmonise with the apparel as essential elements of every total look.

Some twenty years ago I had experimented in Aarhus with Fire and Card – successfully capturing the flame on paper.
Whilst painting today I dug into my toolbox in my studio and came across gas torches – last time used to strip old wooden beams from paint.
The acrylic on watercolour paper was still soaking wet – I remembered what I once had done in Denmark – could the wet Iceberg landscape become scorched?
Powerful contrasts between heat and cold embodied in the painting;
And a comment on how we are burning natural resources: mankind torching the iceberg and placing a silver fingerprint on his mark.
Last I visited my sister, geologist Gro Birkefeldt Moeller Pedersen in Iceland it impressed me how fast the Glaciers recede.
In Iceland the Global Warming physically changes the landscape.
And here in Malta where polluting cars dominate the landscape and the way of life; we ignore the unbearable heat inevitably approaching in the coming Summer months.
Whilst money, oil and supplies are plentiful, sea water is desalinated and drinking water is carted home by the dozens in plastic bottles. The winter rains are flushed out at sea with the new storm relief network.

Will it be too late the day the politicians start feeling the heat?

Air Greenland will start implementing new procedures into their DHC-8-20 fleet and they have chosen Aviation eLearning to develop a training solution for this implementation.
Aviation eLearning has already developed and delivered cockpit training applications to Air Greenland. The interactive cockpit procedure trainers with a complete 360° view of the cockpit help the crew to prepare better for the simulator sessions and therefore significantly reduce the time for ground operations training from seated to airborne.
In addition to the cockpit procedure training apps, Aviation eLearning has also developed an External Inspection app. This allows the user to walk freely around an aircraft and facilitates a structure given by the operator or manufacturer. The students get an overview of each item they need to check and are better prepared for the sesion with an instructor.
By using the external inspection app and the cockpit procedure apps, Air Greenland aims to reduce the costs and minimize the logistical challenges when training their crew.
