Screen (ice hockey)

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

In ice hockey, a screen is when a player is obstructing the goaltender’s view of the puck. The word can also be used as a verb, commonly “don’t screen the goaltender”, or “the goalie was screened“. Screens can be both planned, as when an attacking forward positions himself in front of the net, or accidental, like when a defensemen accidentally blocks the goalie’s view. Attacking players may attempt to take advantage of a screen by taking a shot.

Hand-line fishing

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

Handlining is one of the oldest forms of fishing and is still common. The method consists of a single fishing line with a weight and one or more lure-like hooks are attached. The line is jigged or moved up and down in a series of short movements, most often close to the sea floor. The motion attracts the fish, which are normally caught while trying to eat the lure but also as they move close to the jigged lure. The line is then hauled onboard and the fish removed. Handlining are most often used to catch groundfish and squid but also other species are sometimes caught, including pelagic zone species.

Ice pack

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

An ice pack (commonly used therapeutically) is a plastic sac of crushed or cubed ice, refrigerant gel or liquid, or even frozen vegetables.
This refrigerant, usually non-toxic, can absorb a lot of heat, since its specific heat is very high.

It is commonly used to alleviate the pain of minor injuries.

The most common type of ice pack is simply a sack, bag, or towel filled with cubed or crushed ice.

Ice packs are used in coolers (insulated closed boxes for food) to keep disease-bearing foods (meats, milk products, eggs, etc.) below 41 degrees Fahrenheit to keep them safe for eating. If the foods and the ice packs fill the cooler directly from the freezer, then the equivalent of 10 to 20 pounds of ice is needed for each 24 hour period. If the ice pack is filled with a coolant, then the same weight may last longer. If the foods come from the refrigerator then they will not stay cool as long with the same size ice pack. These foods should remain over 41 degrees F and under 165 degrees F for no longer than 4 hours accumulated over their entire existence. In that way, ice packs can be considered equivalent to a larger mass of ice.

Ice packs have the added benefit over ice that they do not cross-contaminate foods as ice can do when it turns liquid and mixes with the foods.

Spoonplug

Filed Under Uncategorized | Comments Off

A spoonplug is a form of fishing lure. It was invented in 1946 by Elwood L. “Buck” Perry, then a physics and math teacher in Hickory, North Carolina. Perry combined science with a logical approach to fishing to create a “total fishing system.” He decided to teach people to fish instead of teaching math or physics. He is credited as being the father of structure fishing and was later inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame.

Buck used a total fishing system of understanding lakes types, water color, weather, tools and controls, and structure and mapping to make the system work.

Quotes

Perry’s motto or most famous quote is “knowledge is key to success”.
