3 reasons IU beat Marshall: Trayce Jackson-Davis, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Trayce Jackson-Davis
Zach Osterman
BLOOMINGTON – IU logged its sixth-straight win Saturday night, in a come-from-behind 90-79 win over Marshall.
Here are three reasons why the Hoosiers secured just their third 6-0 start in 10 years:
Postgame Q&A:What have we learned in 6-0 start and how much has Trayce Jackson-Davis improved?
Insider:Trayce Jackson-Davis' record night reflects IU's wider improvement
TJD keeps IU afloat
The Hoosiers struggled enormously defending the ball in the first half. Possession after possession, Marshall players drove at — and too often past — Indiana defenders to the tune of 42 first-half points, an average of 1.14 points per possession. The Thundering Herd scored 15 bench points, 28 points in the paint and 11 points off nine IU turnovers.
Indiana's saving grace was its most familiar face.
Trayce Jackson-Davis exploded in the first half, dominating post defenders and spinning around single coverage down low. He scored 22 points in 17 minutes on just 14 field goal attempts. He played a significant role in stopping the 17-0 Marshall run that threatened to sink the Hoosiers in the first half, and gave his team an anchor around which it could erase a 12-point deficit.
The Hoosiers do not survive the first 20 minutes without their All-American.
Turnovers and pace
Unlike some of the other buy-game opponents Indiana has brought to Assembly Hall across the season's first month, Marshall was happy to run with the Hoosiers whenever the opportunity presented itself. And that caused an IU team still working through its share of offensive problems considerable difficulty.
An increased pace sped the Hoosiers up, leading to rushed possessions, which in turn led to turnovers. A team that has had so much success winning with defense in the early part of the season got pulled into a track meet it wasn't always equipped for, and it showed. Even after Indiana erased Marshall's double-digit lead and built one of its own, the Thundering Herd refused to go away.
Experienced hands like Jackson-Davis, Xavier Johnson and Parker Stewart gave the Hoosiers a steadying presence. But overall, Indiana found itself too sped up and therefore too prone to mistakes Saturday night, a valuable lesson as the schedule turns harder.
TJD brings it home
He would get the record, his last points coming on an uncontested windmill dunk as the last minute of the game ticked down.
Jackson-Davis was at the center of everything, but he was the fulcrum of an offense that wouldn't have been capable of giving him the room for those points a year ago, of hitting 8-of-15 3s, of scoring like it did, how it did, when it did.
Defense has been Indiana's calling card so far this season. On Saturday night, the Hoosiers paired that to some impressive and improved offense. And got the W.

Berry has emerged as a must-get for some of the southeast's bigger name programs. The Cleveland, Tennessee native has picked up offers from Auburn, Tennessee, ETSU, James Madison, Tulane, LIU, Cal-Bakersfield, South Alabama, Jacksonville State and UT-Chattanooga.
With Jalen Lecque transferring out, this is going to be Berry's team from the start. The 6-foot-4 guard is a mismatch problem for defenders and he can cause issues on the defensive end. When you think of a versatile guard that can score, understand the game, make others better and can defend his position, Berry is what you have. He is tough, has a solid core and a strong build. He is skilled with the ball in his hands and can take defenders off the dribble, he can step out and knock down the long shot from beyond the three-point line and can post up smaller guards.
In my opinion, Berry would be a player that could stay at home and play at Tennessee and be close to a lot of family on home game nights and is a player that fits into the mold of Rick Barnes' and the type of player he recruits. Berry is a strong defender and can score when he needs to. He had a strong summer playing with Tennessee based-B. Maze Elite AAU program.

Linden City Council requests update on Sunday alcohol sale resolution
Published 12:34 pm Wednesday, June 5, 2019
By Teresa Boykin
The Linden City Council will request a statute update from the Alabama Legislature regarding the city's proposed resolution to sell alcohol on Sundays from 1 p.m. to midnight. Council Secretary Bruce Ward was set to the task.
The proposal that included the start and end times was approved during the Oct. 2 meeting, though talks of the proposal had been going on for several weeks prior.
They also held off on approving the placement of a utility shed on East Coates Avenue until the property owner sent in a written request with more information of its purpose.
The council was aware that the utility shed would first be used for storage during a house renovation, but faltered when the secondary use — a room for overnight guests — came up. Being in a Residential 1 zone, that section of town is intended for single-family houses.
The council decided to seek more information from the property owner before taking a vote.
"I would want him to put it in writing to request what he wants to do," City Attorney Woody Dinning said.
Ward has also been behind recent efforts to reach out to businesses who do not have licenses for 2019. Only five remain who have not purchased one. As the next step, Dinning will send out a court notice.
Dinning will also send out letters to the owners of various dilapidated properties in the city.
Ward also announced that the annual Summer Carnival will be coming to Linden June 20-22. Armbands will be sold at city hall June 17-19 for $15. Armbands will also be $20 at the gate. It will be brought to the city by C&M Southern Midways.
Councilor Byron Vice also announced that a flagpole for Scott Park has been ordered.
The Linden City Council meets every first and third Tuesday at city hall at 4:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

If you are in the market to take home a green car soon, the 2019 Nissan LEAF deserves a close look. This is a small hatchback with an all-electric design. Originally released to consumers in 2010, Nissan has updated the LEAF periodically to incorporate new design elements and mechanical innovations into the model. Today's LEAF is in the line's second generation, and it features a few updates compared to last year's model. For example, the 2019 model now includes ProPilot automated cruise control, rear door assist, a single-pedal driving mode and more. Our Nissan sales associates are looking forward to helping you pick out a new LEAF soon.
For drivers who are focused on buying an all-electric car that has impressive style, it is easy to select the LEAF as a preferred model. However, there are three trims available for 2019, and you will need to explore the differences before you select a LEAF to take home. The base trim is the S, and it comes with automatic temperature control, a 7-inch driver's display, a 5-inch infotainment screen in full color, a review monitor, Bluetooth technology, cruise control, a push-button ignition and more. If you choose the mid-level SV trim, your LEAF will be equipped with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a navigation system, a 7-inch infotainment screen, 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels and more. The SV is the top trim offered in 2019. It is loaded with leather seating, a surround-view monitor, a Bose energy-efficient premium sound system and a few other features. You can easily compare the trims in detail when you visit our Nissan dealership and get behind the wheel for a test drive.
Before you select a 2019 LEAF, you understandably may be curious about the performance capabilities of this all-electric car. All trims are equipped with a synchronous electric motor with 147 horsepower, 235 foot-pounds of torque. The power is generated by a lithium-ion battery. The electric engine is enhanced by an ECO mode, an e-pedal, a single-speed reduction gear, B-mode, intelligent trace control, a regenerative braking system, active ride control, front and rear vented brakes, electronic brakeforce distribution, anti-lock brakes, front and rear stabilizer bars, speed-sensitive power steering, a torsion beam rear suspension, an independent front strut suspension and multiple other features. During your test drive, you can experience the exceptional power that the LEAF offers.
As important as it is to purchase a stylish, all-electric vehicle that is loaded with top-notch features, you also want to select a model that will keep you and your passengers safe on the road. Nissan has not skimped in this area, and you will find that all three trims are well-appointed. Some of the many safety features available across the trims for the 2019 model year include dual-stage front airbags, side-impact airbags, a curtain airbag with a rollover sensor, automatic emergency braking, a blind spot warning, pedestrian detection, a three-point seatbelt system, traction control, vehicle dynamic control, rear cross traffic alert, intelligent lane intervention, load limiters and pretensioners with front seatbelts, LATCH child safety seat anchors, rear row child door locks, hood buckling creases and safety stops, front and rear crumple zones, a tire pressure monitor, steel side door guard beams, a slide-away brake pedal, an energy-absorbing steering column, an anti-theft security system and an engine immobilizer. Because there are some variations in the standard and optional safety features from trim to trim, it is important to speak to a sales agent soon to make a solid comparison.


Citing matching demographics served and a mutual desire to dramatically increase the number of low-income high school students who go "to and through college," Texas Southern University, KIPP Foundation and KIPP Houston Public Schools recently partnered to achieve that goal.
A memorandum of understanding to develop programs that address the challenges of low-income, college-eligible students was signed by leaders of those institutions during a ceremony at TSU's Rod Paige Education Building.
"If you think about what the landscape of Texas will look like in 2030, I don't have to tell you that it fits the demographics of both KIPP and TSU," said TSU President Austin A. Lane.
Sehba Ali, KIPP Houston Public Schools superintendent, announced KIPP will send 30 freshmen to TSU this fall, joining 43 KIPPsters already enrolled.

Bury St Edmunds town councillors condemn far-right group leaflet which they say contained 'racist propaganda'
By Paul Derrick
paul.derrick@iliffepublishing.co.uk
| Updated: 14:24, 22 December 2020
Bury St Edmunds town councillors have condemned a leaflet from a far-right group distributed to homes in the town on Sunday which they say contained 'racist propaganda'.
The leaflet from far-right group Patriotic Alternative contained remarks about immigration.
Bury St Edmunds Town councillors have reported the matter to the local neighbourhood police team and issued a joint statement in response.
Mayor Cllr Peter Thompson, of Bury St Edmunds Town Council
They said: "We, the Bury St Edmunds Town councillors were appalled to learn that racist propaganda has been distributed through residents' letter boxes on Sunday 20 December 2020.
"Apart from any considerations about the 'season of goodwill', the town councillors believe that equality and justice are – and must be - the mainstays of British society and there is no place for racism and fearmongering about the dangers of 'otherness' in our town.
"Those who seek to incite people to view others with suspicion, fear or hatred have learnt nothing either from history or the current pandemic which has seen the collaboration of neighbours, strangers, families and society as a whole on an unprecedented scale.
"Bury St Edmund's Town councillors want to make it clear that racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic and Islamophobic propaganda will not be tolerated in our town at any level and will do everything they can to root out and condemn such actions."
A Suffolk Constabulary spokesman said: "We're aware of the leaflet and are conducting enquiries but as yet we have not received any hate crime reports so far."

In a new interview with E! Online, Schur seemed quite surprised that the questionable accents caused such a strong reaction in Australia.
"Who were the ones that were cited?" he asked. "I mean, Ted [Danson]'s was bad kind of on purpose, that was the joke.
"Janet even called it out, even though he was really proud of himself," Schur said of Danson's truly awful impression of an Aussie librarian.
Arguably, the accent Australian viewers had the most trouble listening to was that of character Simone Garnett -- who is played by British actress Kirby Howell-Baptiste.

Schur explained that Howell-Baptiste -- who also appears on Killing Eve-- was simply "the best actor for the job".
"My ear, and anyone's ear who lives in the States, for how good or bad an Australian accent is, is always going to be functioning at maybe 10 per cent of what a native's would be," he said.
Schur said that -- where possible -- he tried to cast Australians in smaller roles on the show.
"And the art department did a really good job of building things that looked like Australia," he said.
"Then we just loaded the show with dumb Australia jokes. Just super, lazy, dumb Australia jokes," he said.
The writer said his favourite sight gags were the Crocodile Dundee-themed street signs that read 'Thatsnota Street' and 'Thisisa Street' in one of the Sydney eps.
Schur also said that he did consider filming the episodes set in Australia on location.
"...But when we really sat back and looked at the season it didn't make a ton of sense because Sydney's climate and environment is very similar to Los Angeles, and we decided there were better ways to spend our money," he said.

Ohio State and Clemson Have an Edge Over Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma with Returning Quarterbacks
By David Regimbal on July 31, 2020 at 1:20 pm @davidreg412
With the coronavirus pandemic still ripping through the country, we're entering an unprecedented college football season that already has major conferences scaling back schedules in an effort to make fall competition a reality.
There's so much uncertainty about what this season could look like, and with fall camps scheduled to start in the coming week, any level of stability is bound to give various teams an edge over the competition.
When it comes to the programs expected to contend for the four spots in this year's college football playoff, Ohio State and Clemson have a sense of stability that other contenders don't — a returning (and Heisman Trophy contending) quarterback behind center.
The Buckeyes, of course, have Justin Fields, who put up video game numbers during his first season in Columbus. The sophomore completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 3,273 yards and 41 touchdowns against just three interceptions. He also ran for 484 yards and 10 more scores.
Clemson's Trevor Lawrence followed up a historic freshman season with a solid sophomore campaign in which he amassed over 4,200 yards of total offense and 45 total touchdowns.
Both quarterbacks led their respective teams to perfect 13-0 starts and a Fiesta Bowl playoff matchup, and their returns are one of the primary reasons Clemson and Ohio State are No. 1 and No. 2 in nearly every preseason ranking available at the moment.
The popular potential contenders who are expected to join the Buckeyes and Tigers — Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma — can't say the same.
Here's a quick look at the challenge those playoff hopefuls face in finding new signal-callers.
The Tide are a bit ahead of schedule compared to the other schools on this list because of the late-season 2019 injury to Tua Tagovailoa.
Tagovailoa was a key cog in Alabama's title win in 2017 and playoff run in 2018. The Tide was in the latter stages of overhauling their offense from pro-style sets to spread concepts, and Tagovailoa was tremendously productive, registering nearly 7,000 total yards of offense and 87 career touchdowns.
But Tagovailoa suffered a season-ending hip injury midway through November last fall, which forced Mac Jones into a starting role for Alabama's final three-and-a-half games.
Jones played very well down the stretch for the Tide, throwing for over 900 yards and 10 touchdowns against just two interceptions against Western Carolina, Auburn and Michigan to close the season. He has the clear edge to start for Alabama in 2020.
The Bulldogs lost multi-year starter Jake Fromm, who threw for over 7,300 yards and 70 touchdowns against 15 interceptions during his three-year career at Georgia.
Head coach Kirby Smart had set the Bulldogs up for future success when he secured a commitment from Fields as a recruit, but the dynamic dual-threat quarterback transferred to Ohio State ahead of the 2019 season.
The transfer market was good to Georgia after Fields left Athens, as Wake Forest transfer Jamie Newman and USC transfer JT Daniels found new homes in Georgia. Both have experience and will compete for the starting role with the Bulldogs in 2020.
The Tigers have arguably the toughest job among 2020's college football playoff contenders in replacing a lost quarterback.
Joe Burrow was absolutely sensational as a redshirt senior in LSU's dynamic offense system in 2019, amassing over 6,000 yards of total offense and 65 total touchdowns in the Tigers' 15-0 title run last fall.
In addition to the loss of Burrow, the LSU offense needs to replace passing coordinator Joe Brady, who left the Tigers for the Carolina Panthers this offseason.
The Sooners have run with a transfer quarterback in essentially every year of the college football playoff era, with Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts behind center since 2015.
Needing a new quarterback in 2020, Oklahoma has Spencer Rattler, Tanner Mordecai and Chandler Morris competing for the role this fall. Rattler has the edge after appearing in three games for the Sooners last season, but he's only attempted 11 pass attempts during his college football career.
All the schools on this list need to replace multi-year starters who moved on to the NFL last season. Ohio State and Clemson have a sense of continuity behind center, but Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma need to find new signal-callers.

Taiwo Awoniyi: Nottingham…
Taiwo Awoniyi: Nottingham Forest striker hopes to attract Nigerian fans
Nigeria international Taiwo Awoniyi believes his arrival at newly-promoted Nottingham Forest will attract fans from Africa's most populous nation to the club.
The 24-year-old striker, who scored 20 goals in 43 games across all competitions last season, joined Forest from German club Union Berlin for a club-record fee in June.
Nigerians are, like most of the world, obsessed with England's Premier League and clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have large fan bases in the West African nation.
"Our fans love to watch and support Nigerians playing in the Premier League and I believe some of them will try to create a Nottingham Forest fanbase, too," Awoniyi told BBC Sport Africa.
"I know Nigerians like some clubs already, but when you have one of their own and play attractive football, you will automatically get them on your side.
"I believe they will support us, and of course I have my friends and family who were already waiting for me to play in England. It will be an exciting one for them."
The Premier League is hugely popular in football-mad Nigeria, with millions of fans following fixtures on both terrestrial and satellite television.
With a population of over 200 million people, it is home to the league's largest fanbase on the continent.
Nigerians' love for English football stems from their British colonial history, while European champions like Forest and Liverpool enjoyed strong support in the 1970s and 80s.
The obsession increased in the early 1990s after the rebranding of the old English First Division and the birth of what is now the Premier League.
In 1993 Norwich City's Efan Ekoku became the first African to score a hat-trick in the division, while Daniel Amokachi spent two seasons at Everton between 1994 and 1996.
The advent of satellite TV ensured most Nigerians truly got wind of the English top flight when Celestine Babayaro joined Chelsea in 1997 as the club's record teenage signing, when he moved from Anderlecht for £2.25m.
Two years later Kanu arrived at Arsenal, attracting millions of supporters to North London, before Jay-Jay Okocha's colourful spell with Bolton Wanderers between 2002 and 2006.
As Okocha's skills enraptured the Trotters fans in England, it also won the hearts of Nigerian fans.
"The Premier League is very big in Nigeria because of players like Kanu, Okocha, Yakubu, Yobo, Odemwingie and many others who all played here," Awoniyi added.
"Many people pick their clubs depending on where a Nigerian is playing or teams the family like. We all grew up watching it and love it, and it is actually a dream come true to know that millions will be watching me now.

From Human Transit: Yesterday I posted some data we were playing with, suggesting that Canadian cities have consistently higher transit ridership than similar US ones. Commenter Matt pointed me to his own charts on the subject, which are based on Paul Mees's database. One of Matt's charts makes use of citywide average density, a stat to which I'm allergic for reasons explained here and here. But here's the other one.
The y-axis here is "Journey to Work" (JTW) mode share, the percentage of commutes to work that go by transit. It's striking how completely the three countries' cities are sorted out. Only Edmonton lags from the Canadian pace and ends up right on the Australian trendline, while Sydney does the opposite.
The concentration of employment is part of why Sydney looks so good. Sydney is Australia's most multi-polar city, with many secondary mixed-use highrise activity centres. These centres are dense enough to have significant parking costs, and are almost always right on the rail system. The result is a multi-directional pattern of demand that's relatively easy to serve well.
Still, Sydney's place on this chart, surging up onto the Canadian trendline, is also a reminder of the essential role of negative incentives — sticks rather than just carrots. Sydney shows 22% of all journey-to-work trips on transit, citywide, but this is driven mostly by the massive and constrained CBD, where over 70% of all commutes are on transit. If you surveyed the riders on a crush-loaded non-air-conditioned train in midsummer, I doubt many would say that they're on the train because it's a wonderful service. They're on the train because parking in the Sydney CBD can cost more than $60/day.
In any case, we're on the leadup to Canadian Thanksgiving, so I thought this little occasion for Canadian triumphalism would be apt.
UPDATE: Just to clarify, the dots here represent entire metro areas, not just incorporated central cities.


April 7 is National Beer Day. I am obviously not partaking in this celebration but really missing my Summer Shandy on this beautiful day (it is all worth is for baby Bittner!). On this beautiful Sunday, with 70 degrees, we are doing some yard work, grilling, and will go for ice cream. Here is a picture of our neighbors and my hubs stopping the yard work to cheers to National Beer Day.
My work asked me to write a short article on drinking while keeping your health in mind. So as you go about enjoying a nice cold one on this day, just read this before!
April 7 is National Beer Day. If you choose to celebrate this day, it is important to go into this day with a healthy mindset. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism considers binge drinking being a blood alcohol level of 0.08g percent or above. Which usually occurs with more than 4 drinks for women or 5 drinks for men (1 drink= 12 oz beer; 8-9oz malt liquor; 5 oz wine; 1.5 fl oz shot of hard liquor). To avoid binge drinking and the negative effects it has on your body, here are some tips to enjoy your beer and still be good to your body!
1. Eat before drinking: Fill up with whole grains with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to keep your stomach full longer and prevent you from eating common drinking food once the sipping starts (think fried food and snacks). Food will help alcohol slowly absorb into the body. Examples of good food choices: whole grain sandwich with turkey and avocado, apple with peanut butter, or eggs with whole grain toast.
2. Drink water between drinks: Alcohol has a diuretic effect, meaning it increases bathroom visits and decreases your electrolytes. This will make you dehydrated and will cause a craving for those salty foods (hello chips and pizza). By consuming enough water you will stay hydrated, prevent that awful feeling the next morning, and it will help slow down the sips of your alcoholic drinks!
3. Keep your liver in mind: Your liver's job is to detoxify your body and it also metabolizes alcohol. Between the dehydration and alcohol, your liver is working overtime to remove the alcohol from your blood. Chronic drinking can lead to accumulation of alcohol, leading to damaged liver cells, fatty liver, cirrhosis, and increased risk for liver cancer.
4. Choosing lower calorie drinks: Weight gain is associated with heavy drinking. One gram of alcohol provides 7 kcal, when you compare this with food: 1g of carbs provide 4 kcal, 1g of protein provides 4 kcal, and 1g of fat provides 9 kcal. Alcohol is "empty calories" from ethanol and sugar. When you combine the alcohol with high sugar mixed drinks (1 tequila sunrise= 200cal and 20g sugar), it will increase your sugar intake, spike your blood sugar, and add more extra calories for the day. Try choosing a lower calorie drink, for example: vodka and seltzer with lemon or a lite beer.

Q: FCM iOS: Push notifications throw invalid argument I am attempting to implement pushNotifications using Cloud Functions and FCM for iOS but I am consistently thrown this error:

2018-05-21T13:04:00.087Z I sendPushNotifications: Error sending
  message: { Error: Request contains an invalid argument.
      at FirebaseMessagingError.Error (native)
      at FirebaseMessagingError.FirebaseError [as constructor] (/user_code/node_modules/firebase-admin/lib/utils/error.js:39:28)
      at FirebaseMessagingError.PrefixedFirebaseError [as constructor] (/user_code/node_modules/firebase-admin/lib/utils/error.js:85:28)

  'messaging/invalid-argument',
       message: 'Request contains an invalid argument.' },   codePrefix: 'messaging' }

My implementation in cloud functions are as follows:
exports.sendPushNotifications = functions.database.ref('/conversations/{userUid}/').onWrite((snap, context) => {
    const userUid = context.params.userUid

    console.log("Triggered user ", userUid)

    return admin.database().ref('/fcmToken/' + userUid).once('value', snapshot => {
        const values = snapshot.val()
        const fcmToken = values.fcmToken

        var message = {
            "token": fcmToken,

            "notification": {
                "body": "New message"
            },
            "apns": {
                "headers": {
                    "apns-priority": "5"
                },
                "payload": {
                    "aps": {
                        "alert": {
                            "body": "New message"
                        },
                        "badge": "1",
                        "sound": "default"
                    }
                }
            }
        };

        return admin.messaging().send(message)
          .then((response) => {
            return console.log('Successfully sent message:', response);
          })
          .catch((error) => {
            return console.log('Error sending message:', error);
          });
    })
})

The frustrating thing is that when I remove the whole "apns" node the code actually works, ie I can receive the push notifications. I suppose this means my setup are all done properly. Once I included the "apns", it starts throwing the above error. I also reference these three posts, this, this and this, and made sure that I have carefully followed the code and instructions. For some reasons I cannot get it to work.
I also attempted to remove the "notification" node as the docs did mention that only use common keys when targetting all platforms. Since I am targetting only iOS for now, I suppose I should remove the "notification" key. But again it also throws the same error.

A: Ok, so it was a rookie mistake. It is correct that common keys should not be used if I am targetting iOS only. In addition to that, the badge should be an Int and not String.
This code worked:
var message = {
    "token": fcmToken,

    "apns": {
        "headers": {
            "apns-priority": "5"
        },
        "payload": {
            "aps": {
                "alert": {
                    "body": "New message"
                },
                "badge": 1,
                "sound": "default"
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope it helps anyone out there facing the same problem.

A: Just to add to this answer. If you are using both IOS and android while having custom sounds for both, the code below will work cross platform and avoid this issue.
 const payload = {
                token,
                notification: {
                  title: `title text`,

                    aps: {
                      // If present with notification: {...}, this will create errors

Justia Patents Lens AbraderUS Patent for Centrifuge having a lubricant system that delivers lubricant in temporally discrete pulses Patent (Patent # 9,186,686)
Centrifuge having a lubricant system that delivers lubricant in temporally discrete pulses
Disclosed is a centrifuge including a rotatable centrifugal drum and a drive spindle to drive the centrifugal drum. The drive spindle is rotatably mounted via a bearing in a housing supported elastically on a machine framework. Further included is a drive device including a drive motor to rotate the drive spindle and a lubricant system to lubricate the bearing. The lubricant system is configured to deliver lubricant from a lubricant supply tank through a lubricant channel into a region of the bearing. An injection device is arranged downstream of the lubricant-supply tank and is configured to deliver the lubricant into the region of the bearing by dispensing quantities of lubricant in temporally discrete pulses with a limited-time air stream. A method is disclosed of directing lubricant into a region of a bearing of the centrifuge as noted above.
This application is a national stage of International Application PCT/EP2010/057448, filed May 28, 2010, and claims benefit of and priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2009 022 972.8, filed May 28, 2009, the content of which Applications are incorporated by reference herein.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
The present disclosure relates to a centrifuge, or a separator, with a vertical axis of rotation. The centrifuge includes a rotatable centrifugal drum and a drive spindle to drive the centrifugal drum. The drive spindle is rotatably mounted via a bearing in a housing supported elastically on a machine framework. Further included is a drive device including a drive motor to rotate the drive spindle and a lubricant system to lubricate the bearing. The lubricant system is configured to deliver lubricant from a lubricant supply tank through a lubricant channel into a region of the bearing.
Such centrifuges, in particular separators, which are suitable in particular for industrial use in continuous operation, are known from the prior art. The known systems include designs in which the drum, the drive spindle and the electric drive motor are connected rigidly to form a structural unit which then, as a whole, is supported elastically on a machine framework. Examples of such prior art are disclosed in FR 1,287,551, DE-B 1 057 979 and DE 43 14 440 C1.
Additional technical background is provided by DE 44 08 182, which discloses a belt drive for a separator, and EP 0 756 897 and WO 98/57752.
DE 2005 001 539 U1 discloses a separator which has a drive belt and also has a circuit-like lubrication system, which is intended for lubricating the spindle-bearing means. The separator has a tubular, scraper-like device which is intended for pumping out lubricant. Such lubricant, which exits out of the bearing means of the drive spindle of the separator drive, can be pumped, via a reprocessing unit, into a lubricant sump, in which the drive spindle, designed as a hollow spindle, is immersed by way of its lower end. This arrangement, however, is still relatively long in the axial direction.
WO 2007/125066 A1 discloses a separator with a direct drive. The direct drive device has an electric drive motor with a stator and a motor rotor, which is aligned with the drive spindle, wherein the stator is connected rigidly to the machine framework and the motor rotor, the drive spindle, the centrifugal drum and the housing form a unit which is supported elastically on the machine framework and oscillates during operation. The bearing device here is arranged between the motor and the drum. The lubrication means of the bearing devices can be accommodated above a partition wall above the drive motor.
Against this background, the present disclosure relates to a further improvement of the construction and the arrangement of the lubrication system of centrifuges, in particular separators with a vertical axis of rotation.
The present disclosure thus relates to a centrifuge that includes a rotatable centrifugal drum and a drive spindle to drive the centrifugal drum. The drive spindle is rotatably mounted via a bearing in a housing supported elastically on a machine framework. Further included is a drive device including a drive motor to rotate the drive spindle and a lubricant system to lubricate the bearing. The lubricant system is configured to deliver lubricant from a lubricant supply tank through a lubricant channel into a region of the bearing. Also included is an injection device, arranged downstream of the lubricant-supply tank, and configured to deliver the lubricant into the region of the bearing by dispensing quantities of lubricant in temporally discrete pulses with a limited-time air stream.
Accordingly, at least one injection device, which is arranged downstream of the lubricant-supply tank, is provided for the purpose of delivering the lubricant. This device is designed for dispensing quantities, for example, small quantities of lubricant in temporally discrete pulses, with a limited-time air stream, into the region of the bearing. This makes it possible for the lubricant requirement to be vastly reduced, for example, when the pulse of oil is blown as a mist into the region of the bearing.
The injection device may be designed as an injection lubricator. Such injection lubricators may have a piston. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, small quantities of lubricant are thereby dispensed in the separator, at intervals, into the bearing region, for example, at less than 100 mm3 per pulse.
The use of injection lubricators in the field of lubricating a bearing for a centrifuge has not been considered up until now. However, contrary to original expectation, it has been found that it is possible, using such an injection lubricator, for even a separator intended for industrial use to be lubricated adequately with only a very small amount of lubricant without continuous operation being adversely affected.
Using an injection lubricator thus makes it possible for the consumption of lubricant to be reduced to an extremely small quantity, for example, to less than 30 liters per year of operation occurring, for example, over 8000 hours.
It is within the scope of the present disclosure for the injection lubricator to be designed to dispense a quantity of lubricant by a micropump for up to two seconds long, for example, such that, between the individual pulses, there is a pause of more than 60 seconds, and that each pulse is up to two seconds long, for example, one second long.
The injection lubricator may be advantageously designed in order to dispense a quantity of lubricant by a piston for up to two seconds long per pulse, wherein the injection lubricator, furthermore, may be set such that, between the individual pulses, there is a pause of more than 60 seconds, for example, 60 seconds to 180 seconds.
According to the present disclosure, the injection lubricator, may advantageously be designed in order to dispense a quantity of lubricant of between 5 mm3 and 100 mm3, for example, between 10 mm3 and 40 mm3, by a piston, for example, every 60 seconds to 180 seconds.
A lubricant supply which uses up only a particularly small amount of lubricant is realized with only a small number of components. The design, according to the present disclosure, is suitable both for driving via a belt drive and for various types of direct drive with a drive motor arranged in axial extension of the drive spindle or on the drive spindle. These arrangements also make it possible, according to the present disclosure, to realize a construction for the drive device which is short in the vertical direction.
It should be noted that the centrifuge, according to the present disclosure, may also be designed as a solid-bowl centrifuge.
If the centrifuge is designed as a solid-bowl centrifuge, which may have bearings, for example, on either side of a rotatable drum, and, for example, at least one such bearing, each mounted in a ring-like housing, it may be advantageous, according to the present disclosure, if lubricant can be delivered, by at least one injection device, out of the lubricant-supply tank into the region of one or both of the bearings.
Also provided, according to the present disclosure, is a method for directing lubricant into the region of at least one bearing of a centrifuge, according to the present disclosure, in an advantageous and lubricant-saving manner. A respective oil/air mixture is injected in pulses, by at least one injection lubricator, into the region of the at least one bearing.
Additional disclosure, according to the present disclosure, is provided in the claims.
Since the spindle may not used for the lubricant circuit, the spindle can be used for other tasks such as product feeding, for example, through a hollow spindle, according to the present disclosure.
Other aspects of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following descriptions when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIGS. 1 to 3 show partial sectional views of schematically illustrated drives for separators, or solid-bowl centrifuges, according to the present disclosure.
FIGS. 4a and b show sectional views of bearing regions of a solid-bowl centrifuge, according to the present disclosure.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic, partial sectional view of a solid-bowl centrifuge, according to the present disclosure.
FIG. 1 shows a sub-region of a separator 1 having a centrifugal drum 2 (see FIG. 3) with a vertical axis of rotation D and a supply line (not shown) for material which is to be centrifuged.
The centrifugal drum 2 is positioned on a drive spindle 3. A shroud and a solids trap are not shown.
As shown in FIG. 1, the drive spindle 3 is driven via a drive belt 4, which wraps around a belt pulley 11, which is in one or more parts and is positioned on the drive spindle 3. A driveshaft and a drive motor are not shown in FIG. 1.
The drive spindle 3 is mounted in a rotatable manner in a housing 7 by way of a bearing, for example, a neck bearing 5, or upper bearing, and a foot bearing 6, or lower bearing. By way of example, the neck bearing 5 and the foot bearing 6 have a single rolling-contact bearing. Other configurations, for example with two neck bearings or foot bearings are within the scope of the present disclosure but not shown.
The housing 7 is supported by one or more elastic elements 8, 9, for example, by cylindrical bearings and/or ultra bushings or equivalent bearings, on a machine-framework portion 10. Machine framework portion 10 may be designed as part of a primary machine framework or may be fastened on a ceiling of a building or the like, according to the present disclosure.
The illustration of the housing 7, for example, having, a flange is to be understood to be an example. The critical factor is for the housing 7 to be supported elastically on the machine framework 10 during operation, it being designed to be rotationally fixed during operation. It accommodates the bearings 5, 6, in which the drive spindle 3 rotates.
For the purpose of supplying the bearings of the drive spindle with lubricant, use is made of a lubricant system which has a lubricant-supply tank 12 and at least one injection device 13, which is positioned downstream of the lubricant-supply tank 12 and is intended for dispensing quantities, for example, small quantities of lubricant in temporally discrete pulses with a limited-time air stream. Accordingly, rather than a permanent air stream, use is made of an air-stream pulse, to which the quantity of lubricant is fed.
Also provided are a lubricant-feed line 14, which is arranged downstream of the injection device 13 and is for directing lubricant from the injection device 13 into the region of the bearings, for example, the bearings 5, 6, and a lubricant-intercepting tank 15 for intercepting quantities of residual oil dripping off from the region of the bearings.
The feed line 14, which is positioned downstream of the injection device 13, may be designed as a pressurized oil line, according to the present disclosure.
The lubricant-feed line 14 may extend into the region of the neck bearing 5, for example, into the region above the neck bearing 5.
It is within the scope of the present disclosure, that just one injection device is provided. However, it is within the scope of the present disclosure for one or more injection devices to supply individual bearing locations, or all of the bearing locations provided individually. For such a purpose, it is then expedient to route a respective lubricant-feed line 14 to each of these bearing locations and possibly a corresponding discharge line (not shown) from each of these locations. It is within the scope of the present disclosure, also for each bearing location or each of the bearings to be fed advantageously an individually optimized quantity of lubricant.
The line 14 passes through a bore 16 in a housing part 17 connected to the housing 7.
Lubricant exiting from an open end of the bore thus may spray in a mist-like manner from above into the bearing, or bearing 5, 6, of the drive spindle 3.
As suggested in FIG. 1, the lubricant flows in the first instance through the neck bearing 5, from there through a discharge channel 18, for example, an annular chamber on the outer circumference of the drive spindle 3, into and through the foot bearing 6 and then through a discharge channel 19 in the belt pulley 11. Flow may continue through further elements not shown.
The belt pulley 11 may be in the form of a cup which is closed at the bottom. In the base region, it is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive spindle 3. The drive belt 4 is positioned around its outer lateral surface. The belt pulley 11 is closed in the downward direction apart from the discharge channel 19, such that all the lubricant exiting vertically downwards from the bearings 5, 6 is directed outward, through the discharge channel 19, out of the belt pulley 11 or the belt-pulley arrangement.
A lower end of the belt pulley 11 or of the further elements noted above projects into the lubricant-intercepting tank 15, and therefore lubricant 20 dripping off from the drive region is intercepted, and collected, in the lubricant-intercepting tank 15.
The injection device 13 used may be an injection lubricator for the purpose of metering small quantities of lubricant.
The used oil collects in the lubricant-intercepting tank 15.
Thus, according to the present disclosure, a residual quantity of lubricant has to be disposed of during operation only extremely rarely.
As shown in FIG. 2, a lower, free end of the drive spindle 3 is immersed in a tube portion 21 in the lubricant-intercepting tank 15. This tube portion 21 is open in the upward and downward directions and passing through the tank vertically. Therefore, it is within the scope of the present disclosure for the drive spindle 3 to be a hollow spindle in order for product to be directed through it into the centrifugal drum 2 (not shown).
As shown in FIG. 3, the drive provided for the separator, may be a direct drive.
In such a case, an electric drive motor 22 is aligned directly with the drive spindle 3.
As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the motor rotor 23 is arranged directly on the drive spindle 3 and the stator 24 of the drive motor 22 is arranged on the non-rotating machine framework 10.
The bearings 5, 6 and the lubricant system correspond in respect of the operation of directing the lubricant into the region of the bearings 5, 6, to the construction as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
The lubricant exiting from the foot bearing 6 is directed away through a discharge channel 25, which passes through the housing 7. The discharge channel 25 is aligned with a line 26 which, in turn, opens out into the lubricant-intercepting tank 15, which is integrated in the machine framework 10. The lubricant-intercepting tank 15 is formed to the side of the drive motor 22. The tank 15 may also enclose the same in the manner of an annular tank. The line 26 may be of flexible design, to allow it to move along with the housing 7.
The region between the drive spindle 3 and the housing 7 may be sealed, for example, by a glide ring seal 27, in order to prevent lubricant from being able to drip into the region of the drive motor 22. As an alternative, it is within the scope of the present disclosure to seal the region between the drive spindle 3 and the intercepting chamber or lubricant-intercepting tank 15.
The lubricant-intercepting tanks 15 may be provided with a closable outlet opening, in order for it to be possible to let out possibly old lubricant residues.
It is within the scope of the present disclosure for the lubricant-supply tank 12 and/or lubricant-intercepting tank 15 to be integrated at various locations in the machine framework 10 or for separate tanks to be arranged for their respective purposes on the machine framework 10.
Whereas the discharge channel 25, as shown in FIG. 3, is arranged beneath the foot bearing 6, it within the scope of the present disclosure for it to be arranged between the foot bearing 6 and the neck bearing 5. The embodiment shown may be preferred since it provides for all the lubricant residues to be directed away out of the bearing region to good effect.
The centrifuge according to the present disclosure may be designed as a solid-bowl centrifuge.
FIG. 5 shows a solid-bowl centrifuge, or decanter, having a rotatable drum 101 with, for example, a horizontal axis of rotation H. Also shown is a rotatable screw 102, arranged within the drum 101, and with a drive motor 103 for rotating the drum 101 and the screw 102.
The drum 101 of FIG. 5 is arranged between a drum bearing 104, on the drive side, and a drum bearing 105, remote from the drive side. The drum 101 is rotated in a rotatable manner, by way of drum bearings 104, 105, on a machine framework/base 106.
For driving purposes, drive motor 103 uses belt drives 107, 108 to drive transmission input shafts 109, 110, corresponding to the one or more drive spindles, by which the screw 102 and the drum 101 are rotated via one or more transmission arrangements 111. Other drive arrangements are within the scope of the present disclosure. A product inflow and corresponding outflows for at least one liquid phase and a solid phase are not shown. These elements, however, are known to a person skilled in the art.
The lubricant system for lubricating the bearings 104, 105 is arranged on the machine framework 106 in a manner similar to FIG. 1 but not shown here. The system is designed in order to deliver lubricant out of a lubricant-supply tank. The lubricant-supply tank may be integrated in the machine framework 106. The system has at least one injection device, which is arranged downstream of the lubricant-supply tank and is designed for dispensing quantities, for example, small quantities of lubricant in temporally discrete pulses, with a limited-time air stream, into the region of the bearings 104, 105.
The at least one injection device has positioned downstream of it a lubricant-feed line 114, shown as an arrow, which has a bore 115 in a housing 112 of the bearings 104, 105 (see FIGS. 4b and 5), and by which bore 115 the lubricant can be delivered into the region of one or both of the bearings 104, 105. That delivery may be above the bearings 104, 105 or to the side of the bearings 104, 105 on the horizontal spindle.
Just one injection device may be provided. However, it is within the scope of the present disclosure for one or more injection devices to be provided and for them to supply individual bearing locations, or all of the bearing locations 104, 105 individually. It may be expedient to route a respective lubricant-feed line 114 to each of these bearing locations 104, 105 and possibly a corresponding discharge line (not shown) from each of these locations. It is within the scope of the present location for each bearing location 104, 105 or each of the bearings 104, 105 to be fed, advantageously, an individually optimized quantity of lubricant.
According to the present disclosure, lubricant may be injected in a mist-like manner from above into the bearings 104, 105.
The lubricant thus flows through the respective bearings 104, 105 to vertically lower regions of the bearings 104, 105 and from there, through at least one discharge channel, or two discharge channels 118a, 118b, beneath and what may also be on one side, or on either side, of the respective rolling-contact bearings 104, 105, into a lubricant-intercepting tank 120 (see FIG. 4b) beneath the respective bearings 104, 105, and may be integrated in the machine framework 106.
As described herein in relation to the separator, oil is injected into an air stream through the bore 115. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the bore 115 may have a constriction, and therefore, for example, upstream of the exit, a nozzle is formed. The nozzle has a diameter which is smaller than that of the bore 115, for example, by 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
It may be advantageous, according to the present disclosure, for the bores 115 to have a diameter of 0.3 mm to 5 mm. The a diameter may be 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm, or, for example, 0.8 to 1.2 mm, in order reliably to feed 1-100 mm3 per pulse, or, for example, 3-20 mm3 per pulse, of lubricant.
In accordance with the present disclosure, more than 10 seconds, or, for example, more than 60 seconds, may elapse between the pulses.
It is within the scope of the present disclosure to have shaft-sealing rings 112 on either side of the bearings 104, 105, in order to seal the respective rolling-contact-bearing chamber 113, through which the oil can flow. The sealing rings 112 may be designed as a shaft-sealing ring or as a lamellar sealing device or, for example, as a double-action seal and/or as a contact seal. Glide ring seals are within the scope of the present disclosure, if a high level of sealing is to be provided.
An optional guide ring 119 between the respective bearings 104, 105 and sealing devices may optimize the operation of the lubricant being directed away into the discharge channel or channels 118a, b.
Although the present disclosure has been described and illustrated in detail, it is to be clearly understood that this is done by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation. The scope of the present disclosure is to be limited only by the terms of the appended claims.

The year 2017 began as a challenge for a team from the International Fund for Animal Welfare as they race against time to rescue and release 10 stranded dolphins in Wellfleet Harbor.
According to a report from the Associated Press, the non-profit animal welfare organization first received a call early in the morning about three dolphins swimming in the harbor. The organization quickly dispatched a team to the site. When the team reached the site about three hours later, the number of dolphins swimming in the harbor increased to 10. The rescuers also determined that the stranded dolphins are Risso dolphins based on the unusual white scars all over their skin.
Using two boats, the rescuers tried to herd the dolphins back to the open seas. However, the stubbornness of the marine mammal made it impossible for the rescuers, taking about several hours before the threat of the receding tide becomes imminent.
As the tide pulled back, the dolphins got stuck in a part of the harbor called Chipman's Cove. This made the rescuers go with a plan B, which needed to have "all-hands on deck". With the joint forces of 10 to 15 people, the rescuers fought through the mud and biting cold to help move the dolphins using stretchers and customized carts to nearby transport trucks.
"It was an amazing team effort over many, many hours on a blustery, cold winter day," said Kerry Branon, a spokeswoman for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, in a report from Boston Globe.
"Everyone was doing everything they could to save those dolphins. ...I even saw a guy on the side of the road in Wellfleet, and he was standing there with a tray of hot cocoa. He had fresh mugs of cocoa that he made for everyone."
The rescued dolphins were transported and released to the Corn Hill Beach, near Truro. The IFAW team decided that the winds and tide in the Corn Hill Beach will help the dolphins make it out safely to the open seas.

No Gov't official used E&P jet – Kwakye Ofosu
Bernard Buachi
April 22, 2014 at 3:22 pm | Leave a comment
The Government of Ghana has denied claims by a pressure group that some government officials used a private jet belonging to private mining firm, Engineers & Planners – a company with affiliations to the president's brother.
Ghanaians for a Better Government had insisted in a press statement that the U.S.-flagged plane that landed in Tehran and was traced to E&P, ferried top government officials to Iran, and not a business delegation as claimed by the jet's operators, (E&P).
A statement issued at the weekend by E&P, signed by Executive Director Adi Ayitevie, also denied rumours that the jet ferried President Mahama to certain locations.
"We wish to also state that the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has never been transported by the said aircraft," E&P said. Ghanaians for a Better Government however said the explanation offered by E&P is at variance with information divulged by the Iranian government regarding the calibre of people who used the plane.
Deputy Minister of Information and Media Relations, Felix Kwakye Ofosu told XYZ Breakfast show host Moro Awudu on Tuesday that the explanation and clarification offered by E&P should settle the matter.
He denied categorically that officials of the Government of Ghana ever travelled on the Bombadier for to Iran for any official purpose.
"Engineers and planners had issued a statement in which they clarified the issues. They state without fear of equivocation that the President has never travelled on the Engineers and Planners jet. Secondly Government has not sent any delegation that has travelled in that jet to Iran and I believe that should end the matter."
Mr Kwakey Ofosu accused the pressure group of pursuing the agenda of the main opposition New Patriotic Party. "That group is nothing more than another appendage of the NPP. All the members of that group are known NPP activists and so they don't fool anybody at all."

Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer: This full coverage, anti-aging concealer helps to visually camouflage the appearance of imperfections with long-lasting pigments that never crease, never crack, and give you the appearance of your most flawless-looking skin. I am so excited to see the Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer in this collection...because...it is one of my top "holy grail" makeup products! Yes, Bye Bye Under Eye is one of my most reached for concealers for the under eye area. I have very very dark under eye circles and this heavy coverage concealer magically conceals them and manages to not look overly thick nor heavy. It is an amazing concealer!!! A must-have from IT Cosmetics!!!
Heavenly Luxe Complexion Perfection Brush: It's your brush therapy! This dual-ended, ultra-plush concealer and foundation brush is designed to do the work for you with a large brush head for an airbrushed finish and a small brush head for precision and seamless application for hard-to-reach areas. IT Cosmetics brushes are just like the name states...heavenly! This brush is so soft and luxurious. This will be amazing for blush, powder, foundation, and concealer application!

DPS Accepting Nominations for the School Dashboard Advisory Committee
Each year, Colorado schools receive performance ratings so that everyone can know how well they are doing. These reports are called the School Performance Frameworks (SPFs). The ratings assigned are based on achievement and growth on state assessments, along with graduation rates, drop-out rates, college entrance exams, and college matriculation rates.
In August 2020, the Denver Public School Board adopted Resolution 4079 in which DPS should adopt the State School Performance Framework for accountability. Included in that resolution was the development of a public dashboard which will be created by a committee of teachers, leaders, families, students, and community members.
The School Dashboard Advisory Committee that is being created by DPS has three primary goals:
Make recommendations to the superintendent on information to include in the school dashboard
Provide feedback to inform changes to initial versions of the school dashboard
A subset of the committee will be asked to solicit community input and feedback, with support from our Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department, to help inform the school dashboard work.
You can nominate yourself here here or nominate someone else here here. Applications will be welcome until Jan. 1, 2023.
School Dashboard Advisory Committee is tentatively scheduled to begin on February 7, 2023, and will typically meet on the first Tuesday evening of each month until June 2024. In the fall of 2024, the comprehensive school dashboard will go live.
