Residents of Liala community in the Moro local government area in Kwara State have lamented that the only source of water they have is called “Omi Ile” translated to “ground water.” The water is not flowing and it is coloured, the same which the community dwellers use basins to fetch and put alum for the particles to settle down before they drink and use for other domestic purposes. SaharaReporters also learnt that apart from the residents drinking from the water, cattle, dogs and other animals drink from it. These were also confirmed in a video seen by SaharaReporters on Wednesday. An anti-corruption civil society organization, Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD), went with a resident of the community to see the water. The woman told ENetSuD that, "It is the only source of water in the community." "We use to put alum in the water for the particles to settle. This is the only water that cattle, dogs and others also drink from," the woman added. News AddThis : Original Author : SaharaReporters, New York Disable advertisements :
Selecting the Right Outdoor Paint Choosing the right outdoor paint for your home is crucial in ensuring durability and an appealing finish. Paints are designed for different surfaces and climates, and finding the appropriate match can be complex. When planning your outdoor paint project, consider the climate and weather conditions in your area. For regions with high humidity, opt for mildew-resistant formulas, while in hotter climates, UV-resistant paints are a must. Preparing Your Exterior Surfaces Preparation is key when it comes to achieving a long-lasting paint finish. Begin by thoroughly cleaning your surface, removing any traces of dirt, dust, and peeling paint. Pressure washing is a reliable method for cleaning extensive areas but always ensure the surface dries properly before applying paint. Sanding the surface can help provide a smooth canvas, ensuring better paint adhesion. Don’t forget to patch up any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sealant. Priming the surface is essential for creating an optimal base, especially if you are painting over a darker color. Painting Techniques for a Professional Finish Once your surface is prepped, it’s time to begin painting. Using a high-quality brush or roller will make a significant difference in the finish achieved. For a smoother look, work with the grain of the surface, and apply paint in thin, even layers. For expert guidance and execution of your exterior painting needs, consulting professionals such as those who prioritize both quality and customer satisfaction can be beneficial. For more insights into effective painting techniques and to see how professionals approach such tasks, quality services provided by top-tier Sage Painting experts can be invaluable. Common Challenges and Solutions Many homeowners encounter issues like peeling and blistering after a paint job. These problems typically arise due to inadequate preparation or using the wrong type of paint for your surface. To avoid these pitfalls, ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and primed. If you’re uncertain about the best products for your project, consulting with paint specialists can steer you in the direction of the most suitable materials for your climate and home structure.
"Ansys Granta Selector™ has given us more knowledge about the environmental impact of our products and where we should focus our attention in the development of new ones. Ansys Granta Selector also helped us to verify whether it is sustainable for us to gather used filters from customers to optimize the recycling process." — Alexander Hjertström, CEO & Founder / Airinum In identifying suitable textiles for masks, Airinum ensured designs that made sure everyone could breathe comfortably. They depend on partners to suggest textiles that are suitable for mask production. While these partners are experts in different fields like filtering technology, fashioning materials and providing great advice, they are also very focused on their own their fields. Airinum needed to find an additional, more scientific source of data about relevant materials and their properties to optimize their masks’ performance and minimize their impact on the environment. Airinum needed to identify textile materials that are suitable for masks while also minimizing their environmental impact. Masks place a lot of demands on the materials from which they are made because they are worn in such a sensitive place — the face. The material needs to look good, be comfortable to wear, have a low resistance to air flow and be stain-resistant. The filter material needs to provide proper filtering efficiency and Airinum required that the product development process be sustainable.

WA Water Minister Mia Davies has released Water Forever: South West Final Report, the Water Corporation’s long-term outlook on town scheme water supplies in the South-West. The report was developed with significant input from councils, industry, government agencies and communities throughout the South-West over the past 18 months, and the Minister thanked everyone who was involved in the development of the report. “The Water Corporation predicts that over the next 50 years, the demand for water from its customers in the South-West will more than double from 12 billion litres per year, to nearly 30 billion litres per year,” Ms Davies said. “Rainfall over the past four decades in the South-West has also reduced, and in some parts quite significantly, meaning good planning is vital to secure water supplies for the future. “The Water Corporation’s Water Forever South West document outlines plans to develop new water sources, reduce water use and increase water recycling to achieve water security in the face of a drying climate.” The Minister said the report was part of the State Government’s long term planning for water security across the whole of the South-West. The Department of Water regulates water use, conducts scientific assessments, identifies future water demand across the State and provides advice to Government on water services. The department has partnered with the three South-West water service providers (Water Corporation, Aqwest and Busselton Water) to plan for the scheme water needs of their customers that align with the State’s growth projections and efficiency targets. “This is summarised in the snapshot document Securing Water Resources for the South West – which outlines the department’s extensive program of scientific assessment of the region’s water resources currently under way,” Ms Davies said. “This work will guide water service providers and private water users on the best locations to take water from, and the volumes of groundwater that can safely be extracted to meet future water needs.”

This blog post originated from Knowles Precision Devices, explores the basics of lumped element filter design, general lumped element filter characteristics, and how lumped element filter designs limits can be customized to develop a wide variety of high-performance low-frequency filtering options. The Basics of Lumped Element L-C Filter Construction In general, lumped element filters are passive filters constructed using the appropriate number of inductors (Ls), capacitors (Cs), and resistors (Rs) to meet the specific filtering needs of a particular application. At the most basic level, lumped element filters can be constructed from a collection of simple L-C resonators as shown in Figure 1. The resonators used in the filter will create poles and zeros in the frequency response. A zero occurs when the function tends to zero, and a pole occurs when the roots that make the function tend towards its maximum function. By understanding how poles and zeros function (which you can learn more about in this post), we can construct resonators using Ls and Cs and place the poles and zeros where we need them to be to tightly control the frequency response. Lumped Element Filter Characteristics Lumped element filters offer small size at low frequencies that are not achievable with common ceramic, cavity, or waveguide implementations. Additionally, lumped element filter designs are highly customizable both in terms of electrical performance and mechanical and thermal characteristics. This is because we have a high level of control in terms of component and material choices as well as assembly techniques. For example, a lumped element filter can be constructed with withstand temperature and input power ranges that may not be possible with alternative resonator technologies. What Filter Types Can Be Built Using a Lumped Element Construction? All the usual filter types can be implemented in in a lumped element format including lowpass, high pass, bandpass, and band reject. As discussed in more detail in Basic Filter Circuits Explained article, lowpass and high pass elements are relatively simple to develop and bypass filters can be pretty easily constructed by combining the two behaviors. Lumped Element Filters Capabilities Lumped element filter frequency and bandwidth range available by Knowles Precision Devices are shown in Figure 2 below. Lumped element filters can be customized to operate reliably in high-power, high-temperature, and harsh environmental conditions. More specifically, lumped element filters can be designed with the following specifications: Bandpass filters with narrow to moderate bandwidths (1 percent FBW to 70 percent FBW) and a Center Frequency (Fo) from 10 MHz to 7 GHz Bandpass filters with an extra wide bandpass bandwidth (70 percent FBW to 175 percent FBW) and a Fo of 20 MHz to 11 GHz Lowpass filters from 10 MHz to 22 GHz Highpass filters from 10 MHz to 10 GHz Bandreject filters from 20 MHz to 6 GHz that can be narrow band or wide band from 10 MHz to 6 GHz

Dilation and Irrigation at the CARE Clinic Dilation and irrigation of the tear ducts are essential procedures for treating obstructions in the tear drainage system, which are often responsible for conditions like epiphora (excessive tearing) and recurrent eye infections. At the CARE Clinic, we use advanced techniques to ensure the effectiveness and safety of these treatments, thus improving the eye comfort of our patients. How Does Dilation and Irrigation Work? The expansion and irrigation process includes several crucial steps: - Puncta dilation: An eye care professional uses a dilator to widen the punctae openings (small openings in the corners of the eyelids). - Probing (Survey): A fine instrument is inserted into the tear drainage system to identify and remove obstructions. - Irrigation: Sterile saline is injected through the tear ducts to ensure that the system is clear and functional. This procedure unblocks obstructed tear ducts, improving the flow of tears and reducing symptoms of irritation and infection. Indications for Dilation and Irrigation Expansion and irrigation are recommended in several situations: - Canalicular Obstruction: Lacrimal duct obstructions can cause excessive tearing and infections. - Tear Plug Removal: Tear plugs that are inserted to treat dry eyes may sometimes require removal. - Canaliculitis: Inflammation of the lacrimal canals that require careful irrigation to eliminate pathogens. - Non-invasive: The procedure is generally well tolerated and minimally invasive. - Fast relief: Patients often experience immediate relief from their symptoms after the procedure. - Efficiency: The combination of dilation, probing and irrigation ensures effective removal of obstructions and improves tear drainage. Post-Procedure Follow-up and Care After the procedure, it is important to follow the care instructions: - Use of Antibiotic Drops: To prevent post-procedure infection. - Regular follow-up: Follow-up visits may be required to monitor progress and ensure channels remain clear.

As you gear up for spring planting in the verdant and lush UK gardens, the thought of introducing asparagus to your vegetable bed might have crossed your mind. Well, you aren’t alone. Asparagus is gaining popularity as a homegrown vegetable due to its hardiness, perennial nature and delectable taste. However, growing asparagus, particularly from crowns, demands keen attention to several factors, one of them being the depth of planting. The soil type, sandy in this case, adds another layer of complexity to the equation. This article, aimed at the home gardener, will demystify the ideal depth for planting asparagus crowns in sandy UK soil. Understanding Asparagus Planting To plant asparagus successfully, it’s essential, to begin with, a comprehension of this unique plant. Unlike most garden vegetables that are annuals, asparagus is a perennial plant. This means that once established, an asparagus bed can continue to produce for up to 20 years. The asparagus plant’s longevity implies that the initial setup, particularly the planting depth, is crucial to the plant’s success. A découvrir également : How to Choose and Care for Water Plants in a UK Wildlife Pond? Asparagus can be planted in two ways: from seeds or crowns. Planting from seeds is a more extended process as it may take up to 3 years to harvest the first spears. On the other hand, crowns, which are one-year-old asparagus plants with established root systems, can accelerate the process, allowing you to harvest a year earlier. The Role of Soil in Asparagus Planting Soil plays an integral part in asparagus planting. Asparagus plants thrive in well-draining soil, making sandy soil an ideal choice. The texture of sandy soil is beneficial because it allows for good root penetration and prevents water logging, which can cause the crowns to rot. However, sandy soil in the UK tends to be more acidic. Asparagus prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH, around 6.5 to 7.5. Before planting your asparagus crowns, it is advisable to test your soil’s pH level. If it is too acidic, adding some garden lime can help neutralize it. Soil fertility is also essential for asparagus. While the plant is not overly demanding in terms of fertility, it will grow better in rich, well-amended soil. Prior to planting, enrich your sandy soil with plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to boost fertility. The Importance of Planting Depth Planting depth is a critical factor when planting asparagus crowns. It can significantly affect the plant’s productivity and lifespan. If planted too shallowly, the crowns will be exposed to drying out, and the emerging spears may not develop properly. If planted too deeply, the crowns may struggle to push the spears through the soil surface, especially in heavy soils. In sandy soil, however, the lighter texture makes it easier for the spears to penetrate the surface, allowing for a slightly deeper planting depth. This is beneficial as the deeper crowns are less likely to be disturbed by surface activities, including weeding and topping up mulch. Ideal Depth for Planting Asparagus Crowns in Sandy UK Soil When planting asparagus crowns in sandy UK soil, the recommended planting depth is between 8 to 10 inches. To achieve this, dig a trench of the required depth and about 12 inches wide. Spread the asparagus crowns along the bottom of the trench, spacing them about 18 inches apart. Backfill the trench with soil, covering the crowns by about 2 inches to start. As the asparagus plants start to grow, continue backfilling the trench with soil until it is level with the garden surface. This gradual filling process encourages strong spear growth and helps the plants establish more effectively. Do note that while this is the generally recommended planting depth for asparagus crowns in sandy soil, it may vary slightly depending on the specific conditions of your garden. Factors such as the exact soil texture and fertility, as well as the local climate, can influence the best planting depth. Thus, it is beneficial to observe the growth of your asparagus plants and adjust your practices as necessary. Additional Considerations for Growing Asparagus in Sandy Soil The journey to growing asparagus in sandy UK soil doesn’t stop at knowing the ideal depth for planting asparagus crowns. There are further factors worth considering to ensure that your asparagus plants thrive. One key consideration is the location of your asparagus bed. Asparagus plants prefer a full sun spot, so try to locate your asparagus bed in a well-lit area of your garden. This will ensure the plants receive the necessary sunlight for optimal growth. Another important consideration is the soil’s nutritive balance. Asparagus plants are heavy feeders, and they need a well-balanced supply of nutrients to grow successfully. Prior to planting, consider conducting a soil test to determine the levels of major nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in your soil. If deficiencies are detected, correct them with well-rotted manure or a balanced organic fertilizer. Asparagus plants also attract certain pests and diseases, most notably asparagus beetles and Fusarium wilt. Regularly inspect your plants for signs of these problems. If detected early, they can be managed effectively with organic or chemical control methods. Additionally, while asparagus is a perennial plant, it still requires some annual maintenance. In early spring, before the new spears emerge, it’s beneficial to add a layer of compost or well-rotted manure to the asparagus bed. This will replenish the soil’s nutrients and help promote vigorous spear growth. Conclusion: Harvesting and Enjoying Your Homegrown Asparagus After coming to grips with the nitty-gritty of planting asparagus crowns in sandy UK soil, you’ll find yourself one step closer to the rewarding experience of harvesting your homegrown asparagus. Harvesting asparagus typically begins in the third year after planting, when the plants have had sufficient time to establish. Harvest asparagus spears when they are 6 to 8 inches tall, cutting them at or just below the soil surface. Refrain from harvesting all the spears; allowing some to develop into ferny growth will aid the plant in storing energy for the next year’s crop. Growing asparagus in your garden not only provides you with a delicious and nutritious vegetable, but it also offers an opportunity to engage with nature in a rewarding and fulfilling way. So, prepare your garden, plant asparagus crowns at the right depth, and anticipate the joy of watching your asparagus spears shoot through the soil in the full sun a year from now. With patience and proper care, you’ll be enjoying your homegrown asparagus in no time!

The boom of green investments in Asia is visible, and the continent aims to dominate the global renewable energy stage in terms of new capacity addition, technology development, and energy demand. Based on solar PV’s competitive costs, it could become the “new king” of world electricity markets, driving the rapid growth of renewable power over the next decade. Renewable 2020 Global Status Report, from REN21, indicated that one of the main reasons for reducing solar costs was a ramp-up in manufacturing in recent years due to optimistic expectations about global demand growth (particularly in China). It held down prices for polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules. Innovations and improvements in design and operation as the Boom of Green Investments in Asia is visible, and the continent aims to dominate the global renewable energy stage in terms of new capacity addition, technology development, and energy demand.o helped to reduce operations and maintenance (O&M) costs. Today, solar projects offer some of the cheapest costs of electricity ever seen. The figure below shows that renewable electricity costs are higher than electricity prices, on average, in only two of the ten regions (the Middle East and North Africa region and the Rest of Europe). In all other regions, renewable costs are at least 20% lower than current electricity prices. This shows the potential for renewables to reduce the prices of electricity.

Jobs in demand in the solar industry There are about 11.5 million renewable energy workers today, and solar power projects accounted for 3.8 million of them, nearly one-third of the total number. Currently, the world's leading producer of solar photovoltaic (PV) equipment as well as the most extensive installation market, China accounted for 2.2 million jobs in 2019. Globally, jobs in renewable sources will reach 42 million in 2050. The largest creator of these jobs will be Asia, opening vacancies in manufacturing, installation, operations and maintenance. The solar sector will account for half of all renewables jobs on this continent. East Asia will provide 36% of new renewable energy jobs created. To a large extent, investment in installations accounts for this result, driven by ambitious targets for the electricity sector. The rest of Asia will create 28% of jobs. Figure 4: An estimated 42 million jobs in renewables: regional distribution. Source: IRENA, 2020. What are the skills needed? A frequent question in the renewable sector is about the skills needed to fill clean energy jobs. It is important to note that most of the abilities and disciplines could be transferable from other sectors of the industry. Many of the employees formerly working in oil and gas now distribute, construct and maintain solar panels. There are plenty of opportunities for professionals who want to switch to clean energy. However, switching the workforce from fossil fuel extraction and burning to renewables requires training and a new mindset. Segment value chain: - Construction & installation - Operations and Maintenance - Workers and technicians - Construction management - Project Management - Project Development - EPC management Airswift is already working with key companies and several developers, contractors, and consultancies to hire employees and contractors with these skill sets.

Regional strategies to improve renewable energy Southeast Asia is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world in terms of electricity demand, rising by more than 6% annually over the past 20 years on average. But the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is reducing electricity demand. According to the Electricity Market Report, from the IEA (Southeast Asia), the region is also one of the few in the world where a coal-fired generation has been expanding. Close to 20GW of new coal-fired generating capacity are in construction, mostly in Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. To revive the pandemic-hit economy and reduce carbon emissions, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) governments have laid out a five-year sustainability plan under the second phase of ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2021-2025. In this ambitious project, ASEAN energy ministers agreed to set a target of 23% share of renewable energy in total primary energy supply in the region. Studies in the region One of the ways of reaching the new target is regional interconnection and trade. ASEAN has a project to develop multilateral power trade, which was supported by the 2019 IEA study Establishing Multilateral Power Trade in ASEAN. The study recommended clear actions to establish cross-border power trade in the region. The Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia power integration project is one example of regional cross-border power trade. The project has enabled 100MW of power transfer from Lao PDR via Thailand to Malaysia. Work is already underway to extend the framework to include Singapore. Renewable energy capacity in the Southeast Asian countries Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia represent a share of 84% of the total installed renewable energy capacity among the Southeast Asian countries. Vietnam leads the sustainability change with a 34% share, followed by Thailand (17%), Indonesia (13%), Malaysia (10%) and the Philippines (10%).

Clean energy in Thailand has been increasing in recent years, from around 12% in 2017 to almost 20% in 2019, consisting of hydropower, biomass, wind and solar PV. The electricity generation has continued to grow by about 2% annually over the past few years. The latest Power Development Plan aims to provide a transition roadmap for the power sector with three key principles: energy security, economic sustainability and environmental sustainability. The renewable energy target for electricity (excluding imported hydro) is set at 29% of total generation by 2037, with an additional 6% energy efficiency target. Thai Hydro-Floating Solar Hybrid Project Thailand intends to build 16 solar farms with a combined capacity of more than 2.7GW in nine of its hydroelectric dam reservoirs. Combined, the Thailand projects will more than triple the global floating solar capacity which is currently around 1.3GW. All projects will be built by the governmental utility Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). Thailand aims to develop its capacity for floating PV installations, particularly on dams. The first two projects, located in the Northeast, including 45MW of contracted capacity at Sirindhorn Dam, and a 24MW project at UbolRatana Dam. The Thai government is also working on tests for lithium-ion battery energy storage with two big projects standing at 22MWh and 16MWh capacity. That represents a major change in the energy mix, which currently depends on coal. The country’s electricity generation capacity is projected to surge to 185.3 gigawatts by 2034, from 120.5 gigawatts this year. There are three solar projects slated for the next five years in South Korea with a total value of $4bn. Saemangeum Floating Solar Farm Construction on the facility is planned to start by the third quarter of 2021, to kickstart operations in 2023. The government estimates that approximately 4.6 trillion won ($3.9 billion) of private funds will be invested in the project. To support economic recovery in post-Covid-19, Myanmar aims to generate 14% of the country’s electricity needs through renewable energy. Last year, the country awarded 30 solar projects to companies mostly from China. The projects could generate a total of 1000MW of energy. There are nine solar projects slated for the next five years in Myanmar with a total value of $3bn. Sagaing, Mandalay, and Magway are the regions investing the most in solar power projects. Myanmar 1GW Solar Power Projects A project to develop several solar plants throughout Myanmar, with a combined capacity of 1GW, under the tender issued by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE). The start-up of the solar power projects is expected this year. Minbu Solar project This project is the first solar plant in Myanmar as well as the largest single-scale ground solar plant in Southeast Asia. The project will be located in an 850-hectare land plot in Minbu city in the Magway region. The 220MW solar power plant will be developed in four phases. The first three phases will have an installed capacity of 50MW each, while the last phase will be 70MW. Electricity generated from the plants will be sold to the Myanmar government under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 30 years. The start-up is predicted to 2022. The National Renewable Energy Plan (NREP) 2020–2040 targets to have at least 34GW of renewable energy installations by 2040 in the country. To achieve this goal the Philippine government plans to open renewable energy for 100% foreign ownership, attracting investment in the country's renewable energy infrastructure. Seven solar projects are slated for the next five years in the region with a total value of $560m. Pasuquin Solar Farm Development of a 100MW solar power plant.

Oral drops or edibles are the two most common ways to consume CBD (cannabidiol) products. Generally vapes refer to CBD vape juice and CBD vape carts for inhalation. Vaping ensures that CBD enters the bloodstream immediately causing the desired effects. In essence, you shorten the absorption time when you inhale CBD. Some CBD vapes are infused with standard vape liquids because you cannot vape CBD oil in its truest form; you can only consume it orally. There are tons of vaping products on the market; pods, cartridges, or disposables. You can also choose refillable vape pens because they are designed with cutting-edge technology and can produce more flavor and vapor than disposable vape pens. Do CBD Vapes Get You High? According to Raup et al. (2020), CBD, lacks the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabino (THC). The psychoactive THC causes the euphoric feelings and altered state of mind associated with marijuana. Note that CBD and THC are two separate compounds that have different effects on the body; while THC causes euphoric behavior, CBD does not alter the user’s state of mind. Many states legalized the sale, use, possession, and manufacture of CBD products derived from hemp as long as they contain no more than 0.3% THC. Ongoing research on the effects and benefits of CBD to the body has shown that CBD can calm the mind, thus reducing the chances of depression and anxiety. Is CBD Vape Oil Legal? In 2018, the United States Federal government passed the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized the production, use, purchase and possession of CBD. Initially, most countries prohibited CBD and all its forms. Purchasing, selling, and even possessing any CBD product is considered an offense and is punishable by up to 7 years in prison. However, the cannabis derivative is legalized in many countries due to its health benefits. However, the levels if THC in the plant remains regulated at 0.3%. Notably THC activates CBI receptors in the brain altering the user’s mental state. What Does A CBD Vape Do? A vape is a battery-powered gadget that vaporizes CBD so that it can be inhaled. CBD vapes come in various shapes and sizes, but all work the same way. Vaping is one of the most suggested ways to consume CBD, a highly sought-after supplement. Compared to other ways of consuming CBD, such as oils and edibles, CBD vapes ensure that the drug gets to your bloodstream more quickly. The vape suppresses chronic pain, stress or sporadic anxiety attacks. Grafinger et al. (2020) stated that CBD is has limited ingredients to retain its purity; therefore, the vapes provide high-quality CBD. Most CBD vapes contain propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, contributing to the cloudy emissions released during vaping sessions. You can mix Grade A CBD oil with a flavoring ingredient for enhanced flavor and aroma. There are two types of CBD vapes; pure and flavored breeds. You can use either based on your preference. Contrary to other vaping products, pure CBD vapes don't include chemicals or nicotine. CBD vapes are pre-measured, thus enabling the consumer to dose them accurately. All you have to do is calculate how much vape you need using simple calculations. Additionally, CBD vapes let you buy CBD oil in various strengths. If you want a relaxing effect, choose the CBD vape with the lowest dose. Are CBD Vapes Legal In The UK? Maed (2019) stated that CBD is legal in the UK but must meet certain standards Most CBD products sold in the streets of the UK are not from licensed firms, which puts the buyer and the retailer at risk of facing criminal charges under UK law. Therefore, ensure you buy the CBD vapes from trusted brands. Any CBD vape and related product with THC is considered illegal. On 13TH October 2016, the UK passed a bill that legalized the sale, manufacture, possession, and use of CBD and its related products. The government has conducted tests to ascertain the standards of the CBD vapes sold to people. The European Union certified the sale of hemp products with less than 0.2% levels of THC – the psychoactive part of Cannabis. If you want to purchase CBD vape in the UK, choose one with low levels of THC; in the UK, high levels THC are illegal and classified as a class B controlled drug. Do CBD Vapes Work? Vaping penetrates CBD into your system more efficiently than other methods of consumption, resulting in quicker benefits. CBD has been used in several cosmetic and health products to treat illnesses, like eczema, anxiety and acne among others. However, there isn't enough data on using CBD vapes to treat diabetes and hypertension.

There are no products listed under this category. As purveyors of fine teas since 1981, we share here our favorites. We hope they will become your favorites as well.Allow your taste buds to determine how to make your perfect cup of tea through some initial experimentation. We have some helpful suggestions and recommendations to guide you. Water Quality: Because water is the primary ingredient, be sure it tastes good to you. You may wish to try bottled in lieu of tap water. Use only freshly drawn, cool, clear water. Boiling: In a covered kettle, allow the water to reach a full, rolling boil, then pour immediately into the teapot or cups. For a milder cup, pour when bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the pot. For green and white teas, remove the pot from the stove when it reaches a boil, and wait about 30 seconds before pouring on leaves. Preheating: If you like especially hot tea, it is best to pre-heat the teapot or cups by rinsing with hot water. How Much Tea: Add approximately one teaspoon per cup for your first experiment, and adjust your measure according to taste. Steeping: For the richest taste, stay within the suggested steeping times, to allow just the proper amount of flavor to be released from the leaves. Black: 3-5 minutes Oolong: 1-10 minutes Green: 1-2 minutes (Can be reused for 1 or 2 subsequent brewings) White: 2-15 minutes (Can be reused for 1 or 2 subsequent brewings) Chai: 3-9 minutes Herbal: 5-10 minutes, according to taste Herbals: These teas steep differently. Some require boiling over a period of time. Others may require just some hot water added for a brief period of time. Follow product instructions for specific brewing and steeping details. Lemon or Milk: Tea may be served with lemon or milk. (Cream deadens the taste.) Iced Tea: Use twice as many tea leaves for steeping, since the addition of ice cubes to the hot brew will dilute the taste considerably. How Much to Buy: If stored properly, tea will last up to six months. Flavored teas last about half that time. How to Store Tea: Use an airtight container, preferably dark. Keep it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and from other sources of heat. More information in our Tea Guide.

Does Upgrading my HVAC System in NY really Save Me Money? June 9, 2022 Maintaining your home is a lot of work; you need to make sure all of its systems are working properly to enjoy the full benefits of having them. Besides, properly maintaining these systems ensures you get to save more in the long run. One such system that is essential to every home is the HVAC system. The HVAC system also comprises a huge part of your energy bills. One of the largest energy loads in your household is cooling or heating your home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), about 6% of the total electricity generated in the United States is used for air conditioning and heating. Now, how can you save up on energy bills if you frequently use your HVAC system? One such way is by getting a HVAC upgrade in New York. While you might think that getting your HVAC system upgraded is expensive, in reality, it will help you save more over time. Think of it as an investment, where you get a system that helps regulate your energy consumption–so you’ll still get to use your heating and cooling equipment regularly but without the spike in energy bills. You can see this in your equipment’s SEER rating. What Is a SEER Rating? In order to understand energy efficiency, you need to know and understand how energy efficiency is measured. In heating and cooling equipment, this is indicated by a system’s Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER. This SEER is measured by comparing the cooling output of a system over a typical cooling season to the amount of energy input the system consumes over the same time frame. The higher the SEER value, the more energy-efficient the system is. In recent times, the average SEER rating of an air conditioner is between 13 and 14, though some systems can reach as high as the low-20s for ultra-efficient models. But around 15 to 20 years ago, the average SEER rating of a system on the market was around 10. If your system is approaching two decades in age, then there’s a good chance that this was probably the original SEER rating for your system. It might be time for a change. Upgrading your HVAC system will definitely improve your equipment’s SEER rating. Ways You Can Save Money by Upgrading Your HVAC System Here are some ways you can save money by upgrading your HVAC system: Review installation costs Lower energy bills Reduced HVAC repair costs Huge energy rebate opportunities Choosing the right size of the HVAC system If you want home HVAC maintenance in Liverpool, New York, look no further than Heat Wiser.

A new research project shows how 3D printing and machining can finally work in sync. Led by researchers at the Vienna University of Technology in Austria (TU Wien), the project aims to plan and optimize every step of hybrid manufacturing, from 3D printing to machining, before production even begins. A team of engineers from TU Wien’s Institute of Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies (IFT) developed smarter ways to combine additive and subtractive manufacturing (or machining) processes in a single, streamlined workflow. If done right, this hybrid manufacturing can save time, cut costs, and reduce waste, especially in factories that make large or complex parts. 3D printing and machining, which are often treated like two separate worlds, can be brought together in a way that’s actually practical for manufacturers. From Metal Wire to Finished Part The research focused heavily on Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), a technique used to 3D print large metal parts using welding wire. WAAM is ideal for creating big, heavy-duty components, but those parts still need to be milled or smoothed out afterward. That’s where things often get complicated and expensive, the experts explain. According to the team, they found ways to predict how each 3D printed part would behave before printing even begins. Using digital simulations, they could estimate how the part would shrink, where it might warp, and how much material would need to be removed. They also tested machine hammer peening, a technique that smooths and strengthens the surface of a printed part before it’s machined. They combined it with other treatments like shot peening, which uses small metal balls to toughen the surface, and Hirtisation, a chemical process that removes rough edges and leftover powder. The combination led to more uniform and durable parts. IFT’s big contribution was a simulation model that helps factories plan printing and machining in advance. This includes calculating how much extra material needs to be printed to allow for finishing, where stresses or rough spots might appear, and how to machine the part more efficiently afterward. The result is less material waste, shorter machining time, and fewer surprises. Making It Work for Small Manufacturers While hybrid manufacturing sounds high-tech, the project was designed with small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in mind. Many of these businesses are interested in 3D printing but don’t have the resources for complicated workflows or expensive quality control setups. The IFT team worked directly with 15 Austrian companies to test and validate real-world applications, making sure the tools they developed could actually be used in day-to-day factory settings, including approaches for the seamless integration of WAAM processes into existing production lines. The goal was always to make hybrid manufacturing more affordable, scalable, and practical. Another part of the project focused on creating a smart software system that can adjust how machines move based on real-time sensor data. This system, described as a CAM rule engine, is linked to a central database that collects information from every step of the manufacturing process. Together, they help factories move closer to fully automated, data-driven production. A Team Effort Across Europe This work was part of a larger international effort called Advanced Processing of Additively Manufactured Parts – Phase II (Ad-Proc-Add II), a research project focused on improving how 3D printing and machining work together in real factory settings. The project brought together teams from Austria, Germany, and Belgium, including universities, industry groups, and research institutes. Partners like the Institute for Machine Tools at the University of Stuttgart, the Institute for Machining Technology at TU Dortmund, and KU Leuven in Belgium all contributed to making hybrid manufacturing faster, smarter, and easier to adopt. What’s more, industry groups like the ecoplus Mechatronics Cluster and Research Association for Mechanical Engineering (FKM) in Germany helped turn the research into real tools that companies can actually use in their factories. This project proves that 3D printing and machining can work together in a smarter, more practical way, so that 3D printing is not isolated from the rest of the factory floor. In the end, it will help connect additive and subtractive processes, making them usable for everyday manufacturers. The findings will be presented at the World Machine Tool Exhibition (EMO) 2025 in Hanover, one of the world’s biggest trade fairs for industrial manufacturing.

Paddle Boarding Gear Whether you are new to paddle boarding or an experienced Paddle Boarding Gear, you’ll want to invest in some paddle board gear that will make your experience safer and more enjoyable. This includes the proper board size, board length and weight capacity, as well as accessories that will help you have a safe and fun time on the water. Paddleboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on your needs, preferences and experience level. Longer boards have more weight capacity, while shorter ones tend to be easier to carry and store. Leash: A leash will help you stay afloat in choppy waters and prevent your paddle from flopping around if you fall off. We recommend a leash that is quick-release, so you can detach it quickly if you need to bail out of the water. Choosing the Right Paddle Boarding Gear: A Guide for Beginners Shoes: You should always wear footwear when on a stand-up paddleboard, especially in chilly weather. Neoprene booties are a good choice, or you can go barefoot if the weather is mild. Clothing: Choose a breathable long-sleeve shirt that will protect your skin from harsh sun and wind. A rash guard will also help keep your body warm. Water Bottle: Bringing a reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated and avoid buying bottled water. If you’re going to be on the water for a long time, we suggest a vacuum insulated bottle that can clip to your cargo bungees so your water stays cool and refreshed.

If you conduct an online search for custom deck builders in Connecticut, you’ll see that there are many companies on the list. However, not all custom deck builders are the same. What we’re saying is that some custom deck builders are better than others. You need to be careful which company you choose. For example, you should only consider working with custom deck builders that have years of experience in the home improvement industry. We’re not saying that all companies that have only been in a business for a short period of time are bad at their job. However, when you work with a more experienced entity the chances are high that they’re good at what they do. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in business for the long haul. The bottom line is that you want to have many years of family fun on your deck without worrying about how long it will last. Top-notch custom deck builders use the best available labor and materials for your project. It can make a tremendous difference on the durability of your deck. It can also make a tremendous difference on how your deck will ultimately appear when it’s finished. An inexperienced deck builder may construct a solid deck but may not finish it as nicely as a more experienced deck builder would. There is a lot of finish carpentry work that goes into custom decks. Finish carpentry includes all of the fine detail work that goes into the project. It’s also not a good idea to work with custom deck builders that quote you the lowest price. It typically means that they are either desperate for work or are cutting corners. The home improvement industry as a whole is incredibly busy these days thanks to the Covid pandemic. People are spending a lot more of their time at home and want to make the experience as nice and convenient as possible. Consumers also have more money to spend since they’re not going on vacations or taking part in expensive entertainment options that involve crowds. If a custom deck builder comes in with a low-ball price it’s because they’re not busy and need the work. That means they’re not very good at their job. Some contractors come in with lower offers because they know that they’re going to cut corners. That means they use cheap materials. It also means they pay their workers less money. Once again, there is currently an incredibly high demand for home improvement work across the country. Workers who are good at their job and reliable are paid more than workers who are not so good at their jobs and are unreliable. Choosing a custom deck building company should never be taken lightly. Your new deck is an extension of your beautiful home. It should contain the highest quality materials and reflect upon your personal tastes and design styles.

Doing things, the right way the first time every time is the only way to do it.
We study how the contracting environment affects the quality of trade. A better contracting environment not only induces specialisations in industries intensively using customised inputs, but also causes quality upgrading of domestic varieties and tougher competition in these industries. We incorporate these effects into a Ricardian model with customised input and product quality. Our model predicts that better judicial quality raises a country’s import prices and quality more in contract-intensive products, but has no impacts on its export prices or quality. We empirically confirm these predictions, and find that rising judicial quality is associated with increasing specialisations in contract-intensive industries.

The new wave of cycling: Electric Bike tax rebates and safe riding for Modern Cyclists By Addmotor \| 20 April 2023 \| 0 Comments E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular as a dependable, environmentally friendly, and adaptable mode of transportation. The bicycle boom of 2020 witnessed an increase in the number of Americans cycling on both traditional and electric bikes. E-bikes are increasingly being used for traveling, cruising, hunting, and fishing. Adopters of ebikes may soon be compensated with a tax rebate on their eBike purchases. The initial effort to pass a nationwide e-bike rebate was unsuccessful. But this time, the bill has more backers and a larger number of supporters. What is the E-Bike ACT? 2 Congressmen introduced the E-Bike Act on February 11th, 2021. The full name of the Act is the Electric Bike Incentive Kickstart for the Environment (E-BIKE) Act. The Act's purpose is to encourage the ongoing use of e-bikes or electric bikes by offering consumers an exemption against their income taxes.The Congressmen support the use of electric bicycles as a means of transportation that may enhance their distance, pace, and accessibility while decreasing carbon emissions. Congressman Earl is also the Chairman of the Congressional Bike Caucus and a well-known cyclist. The Congressmen believe that eBikes should be widely available as a viable and practical means of transportation that helps to reduce carbon emissions. By providing a rapid and dependable alternative method of transportation, electric bicycles have the potential to reduce automotive trips and emissions. E-bikes let individuals get around swiftly and effectively in both urban and rural settings. They are also appropriate for all types of riders, regardless of age or physical ability. Despite the fact that eBikes lessen the pressure of pedaling and physical exertion, they may still be a terrific form of exercise. As the government seeks to cut carbon emissions and battle climate change, numerous congressmen and women have recognized the importance electric bicycles may play in removing vehicles off the road. They recognize that ebikes for adults are a viable means of transportation that keeps people moving, active, and connected while minimizing environmental effects. A plan to give Americans a $1,500 discount on a new electric bicycle was proposed in Congress this week, less than a year after a similar provision was omitted from the climate-focused Inflation Reduction Act.The original Electric Bicycle Incentive Kickstart for the Environment (E-BIKE) Act was launched in 2021 as a method to assist in defraying the expenses of an e-bike, which may be costly but has been found to minimize automobile journeys for many users. The measure was updated after being included in President Joe Biden's Build Back Better legislation, however, it was later eliminated after the package evolved into the Inflation Reduction Act. The new E-BIKE Act is nearly identical to its predecessor, even down to the use of the same terminology. The proposed measure would provide a refundable tax credit of up to $1,500 on the acquisition of a new e-bike. This is an improvement over the previous E-BIKE Act's revised version, which would've restricted the credit to $800, and is consistent with the initial 2021 version. The credit would also be entirely refundable, allowing lower-income persons to apply for it. Bikes costing more than $8,000 would be ineligible for the tax credit, an increase from the revised version, which restricted the price to $4,000. Income levels are also modified. Other significant advancements have occurred since the original E-BIKE Act was established. Several towns and states have implemented their local versions of an e-bike tax credit to considerable applause. Denver, for example, created its voucher programme, offering $400 off the purchase of a new e-bike and up to $1,200 off for low-income people. Anyone who buys an electric cargo bike will receive a $500 bonus. Meanwhile, e-bike sales continue to soar, while regular bike sales begin to level off after the pandemic-era biking boom. Furthermore, more businesses are introducing cargo-carrying versions in an obvious attempt to attract consumers and families who wish to replace automobile journeys. Addmotor provides its variant for electric cargo bike as GAROOTAN M-81. This cargo bike has a 750-watt rear brushless motor with over 105+ miles on a single charge on its 20 Ampere hour UL-certificated Samsung battery. The payload capacity for the M-81 cargo bike is 350 pounds. Standing at $1,800 only, this bike comes well under that E-BIKE ACT. ► Other issues Addressed The E-BIKE Act would also address recent battery quality issues raised by a spate of fires in New York City caused by malfunctioning e-bike batteries. To assure quality, the measure would require qualified bikes to have drivetrains and batteries approved by the insurers’ Laboratory's standard UL 2849. The New York City Council recently enacted legislation requiring all e-bikes sold in the city to meet the UL standard.The Addmotor Electric bike is equipped with a UL-certified lithium-ion battery. This means that it has passed safety tests and is safe to use. The battery on the Addmotor Electric bike is UL-certified, meaning that it meets all safety standards. This is important for peace of mind when using the bike. The battery has a capacity of 10.4 Ah and a voltage of 48V, giving it a range of up to 90 miles on a single charge. It is also equipped with a smart battery management system (BMS) that monitors the battery and ensures its longevity. The UL-certified battery is also designed to be long-lasting and reliable. It has a lifespan of up to 1000 charge cycles, which means it will last for many years. Additionally, the battery is equipped with an LCD indicator that shows the remaining charge level, so you always know when it is time to recharge. ► What electric bikes are eligible for the tax credit?? The Bill defines a qualifying electric bicycle as a "two-wheeled vehicle that is, among other things, equipped with an electric motor of fewer than 750 watts capable of propelling such vehicle." Except for those with 1000-watt motors, this criteria will apply to the majority of Addmotor bikes along with the top electric bikes now on the market.Eligible for affordable electric bikes must be class 1 electric bicycles, class 2 electric bikes, or class 3 electric bicycles, and must have the following features: • An electric motor rated at less than 750 watts • Pedals that can propel the vehicle • The rider's saddle or seat • The taxpayer must purchase the bikes in the United States. The bike must also be brand new, not leased or purchased secondhand. Addmotor offers several models of long-range electric bikes that are designed to travel further distances without the need for recharging. A commute ebike, the citypro series has the longest range in the Addmotor livery giving about 125+ miles of range on a single charge. The fact that these e-bikes consist of 750-watt batteries only is one good piece of engineering. City Pro E-43 is one of these long-range models. These long-range Addmotor electric bikes from Addmotor are designed for traveling long distances without worrying about running out of battery power. The bikes are made in traditional bike design with slimmer aluminum bodies to handle that extra mileage. Customers are benefited from tax rebates for e-bikes in several ways: Affordability: Tax rebates make e-bikes more affordable for customers, reducing the cost barrier to entry. E-bikes can be expensive compared to traditional bicycles, so tax rebates can make them more accessible to a wider range of customers.Sustainability: E-bikes are a sustainable and eco-friendly mode of transportation, and tax rebates encourage more people to switch to e-bikes from traditional gas-powered vehicles. This not only benefits the environment but also reduces dependence on fossil fuels and lowers carbon emissions. Health: E-bikes can improve public health by promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior. With tax rebates, more people can afford to purchase e-bikes, and this promotes a healthy lifestyle. Convenience: E-bikes are convenient for commuting and getting around town. With tax rebates, more people can afford to purchase e-bikes, and this promotes a more convenient mode of transportation. Safety: E-bikes can be safer than traditional bicycles because they allow riders to travel at faster speeds with less physical effort. With tax rebates, more people can afford to purchase e-bikes, and this promotes safer cycling practices. In summary, tax rebates for e-bikes benefit customers by making them more affordable, promoting sustainability, improving public health, providing convenience, and promoting safety. By incentivizing the adoption of e-bikes, governments can promote a healthier, more sustainable, and more efficient transportation system. E-bike companies benefitted: E-bike companies would even take advantage of tax rebates as they could work to lobby for tax rebates and other incentives at the local, state, and national levels. This can involve working with government officials and advocacy groups to educate them about the benefits of e-bikes and to push for policies that promote their use. By doing so, e-bike companies can help to create a more favorable environment for their products and for cycling more broadly.Finally, e-bike companies can also take advantage of tax rebates and other incentives to invest in research and development, improving their products and making them more appealing to consumers. For example, a company may use tax rebate funds to invest in battery technology, making their e-bikes more efficient and increasing their range. Similarly, they may use these funds to invest in safety features, such as better braking systems or more visible lights. In many countries, governments are taking steps to incentivize the use of adult electric bikes. One such incentive is tax rebates for those who purchase e-bikes. For example, in the United States, the federal government offers a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost of an e-bike, up to a maximum of $1,500. This credit is available to individuals and businesses who purchase e-bikes for personal or work-related use. Similarly, in the United Kingdom, the government has launched a program that provides a grant of up to 20% of the cost of an e-bike, up to a maximum of £350. These tax rebates make it more affordable for people to purchase e-bikes, which can cost several thousand dollars. In addition, they can help to offset the cost of other necessary equipment, such as helmets, lights, and locks. The benefits of promoting the use of e-bikes through tax rebates are significant. E-bikes are a greener and more sustainable mode of transportation than cars and can help to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. They can also help to improve public health, as cycling is a low-impact form of exercise that can help to reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, and other health problems. Finally, promoting the use of e-bikes can help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote more sustainable forms of transportation. However, it is important to note that ebike rebates alone are not enough to promote the widespread adoption of e-bikes. In addition to financial incentives, cities must also invest in safe infrastructure and education campaigns to make cycling a viable option for everyone. Safe Riding for the Modern Cyclist While cycling is a great way to travel, it can also be dangerous if proper safety precautions are not taken. The rise of e-bikes has led to concerns about their speed and how they interact with other vehicles on the road. As a result, many governments are taking steps to ensure the safety of modern cyclists on the road.One of the ways that governments are promoting safe riding is by investing in infrastructure such as bike lanes, signage, and traffic signals. For example, New York City has committed to building 30 miles of protected bike lanes each year to make cycling safer and more accessible to all. Another way that governments are promoting safe riding is through education campaigns. For example, the Dutch government has been running a successful campaign called "Think Bike" to promote safe cycling habits and raise awareness among motorists about the importance of sharing the road with cyclists. Steps by the government to ensure modern ebike cyclist safety: Governments can play a crucial role in making modern cyclists safe by implementing policies and infrastructure that prioritize cycling as a safe and sustainable mode of transportation. Here are some ways that governments can help make modern cyclists safe:Infrastructure Investment: Governments can invest in cycling infrastructure, such as bike lanes, paths, and parking facilities. These facilities provide safe spaces for cyclists to ride and park their bikes, reducing the risk of accidents and theft. Traffic Calming Measures: Governments can implement traffic calming measures, such as speed limits, roundabouts, and traffic circles, to reduce the speed and volume of traffic on roads where cyclists and motorists share the space. Education and Outreach: Governments can provide education and outreach programs to promote safe cycling practices and raise awareness among motorists about the rights and needs of cyclists on the road. Legislation and Enforcement: Governments can pass and enforce laws that protect the rights of cyclists on the road, such as laws requiring motorists to give cyclists a minimum safe passing distance. Collaboration with Stakeholders: Governments can collaborate with cycling advocacy groups, transportation planners, and other stakeholders to develop policies and infrastructure that prioritize cycling as a safe and sustainable mode of transportation. Incentives: Governments can provide incentives, such as tax credits or subsidies, for individuals and businesses that use or promote cycling as a mode of transportation. These incentives can encourage more people to take up cycling and make it a safer and more viable transportation option. By taking these steps, governments can help to make modern cyclists safe and encourage more people to take up cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. Safe cycling infrastructure and policies benefit not just cyclists, but also motorists and pedestrians by reducing traffic congestion, air pollution, and the risk of accidents and injuries on the road. The rise of fat tire ebikes represents a significant shift in transportation, offering a more sustainable and affordable alternative to traditional cars. However, in order to promote the widespread adoption of e-bikes, governments must take steps to incentivize their use through tax rebates and other financial incentives. By doing so, they can help to promote greener and more sustainable forms of transportation, while also improving public health and reducing traffic congestion. Speaking of traffic reduction and space consumption one option is the folding electric bike, the Foldtan M-140 is the best solution by Addmotor to this issue, it is perfect for commuting, traveling, and exploring new places. The foldability would come at a cost of mileage and battery capacity but standing at 20 Ah battery gives out 100+ miles on a single charge which is a lot considering the bike can fold. ► The Advantages of Electric Bikes Electric bikes are a game changer for individuals searching for an environmentally sustainable, practical, and convenient means of transportation. When cycling, the electric motor assists, making it simpler to climb hills and cover longer distances. This implies that commuting cyclists may go longer without breaking a sweat, and individuals with physical disabilities can still enjoy cycling. The fat tire electric bikes give help in this as well, as they are prone to last longer and go further.E-bikes are also a less expensive option than driving or utilizing public transportation. They can be charged for pennies and require far less maintenance than automobiles or motorcycles. Furthermore, electric bikes are environmentally benign, emitting no pollutants and lowering the carbon imprint. Addmotor gives its hand on this side with an electric cruiser bike the Herotan M-65x. This bike has a step-over frame. Also having a Banana Seat configuration, makes it easy for carrying a passenger. The 750-watt motor combined with the 20Ah battery can carry a load of 300lbs for up to 105+ miles. It costs around $2,399 which is still viable considering all the options and the other bikes in the market have way more pricing. In conclusion, the new wave of biking presents exciting opportunities for modern cyclists to enjoy the benefits of electric bikes and support sustainable transportation options. With the introduction of tax rebates for e-bikes, more people can afford to make the switch to electric cycling, leading to reduced carbon emissions and better air quality. Additionally, by prioritizing safe riding habits and infrastructure, cyclists can feel confident and secure on the road, further promoting cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation.The new wave of cycling is not just about technology or tax rebates. It is also about the culture of cycling and the sense of community that it creates. Cycling is a social activity that connects people with the environment around them. It promotes health and wellness, encourages exploration, and fosters a sense of adventure. As more people embrace cycling as a mode of transportation, we can expect to see more innovation in the cycling industry, from the design of the bikes themselves to the development of new infrastructure and technologies. We can also anticipate more collaboration between governments, advocacy groups, and businesses to promote sustainable transportation and create a more livable and equitable future. At the same time, it is important to recognize that there are still challenges to overcome in making cycling safe and accessible for all. Many cities and towns still lack adequate cycling infrastructure, and there is a need for more education and outreach to promote safe cycling practices and raise awareness about the benefits of cycling. Nevertheless, the new trend of biking offers a promising vision for a more sustainable and healthy future. By embracing cycling and supporting policies and infrastructure that prioritize safe and sustainable transportation, we can create a world that is more connected, more vibrant, and more resilient. Governments, cycling advocacy groups, and transportation planners all have a role to play in supporting the growth of cycling and ensuring safe riding practices. By investing in cycling infrastructure, providing education and outreach programs, passing and enforcing laws that protect the rights of cyclists, and offering incentives, we can create a safer and more accessible cycling environment for all. As we look toward the future, we can anticipate even more progress in the realm of sustainable transportation, and e-bikes and cycling will surely be at the forefront of that movement. By continuing to support electric bikes and prioritizing safe cycling practices, we can create a better and more sustainable world for all.

The pioneering work on the family of silica-based M41S mesoporous materials with pore sizes from 20 to 100 Å opened a new era in shape-selective catalysis, guest-host chemistry, organic/inorganic composite materials and chromatographic separation . Most of the research has been focused on hexagonal MCM-41 type material because of its easy availability and reproducibility. Less attention has been paid to the cubic MCM-48 system. In contrast to the one dimensional channel system of MCM-41, MCM-48 has a set of two, three dimensional interpenetrating pore systems and the channels of the mesopores can be used as the carrier for functional molecules or nanoparticles [3–5]. We reported recently the deposition of Cu-oxide, Zn-oxide and Cu/Zn-oxides within the MCM-48 pore system . In addition, a number of reports have been published concerning nanosized metal oxide particles deposited in the mesopores of MCM-48 [7–9]. To find faster and economical synthesis routes for inorganic and organic materials has always been a challenging task, and the use of microwave heating for this purpose is now a subject of growing interest. Microwave synthesis might reduce the time of synthesis of standard preparations by almost two orders of magnitude. The microwave heating process works in a different way compared to conventional heating . Dependent on the penetration of the synthesis medium, microwave energy can heat the entire object to crystallization temperature rapidly and uniformly resulting in homogeneous nucleation and shorter crystallization times compared to the hydrothermal method . Moreover, this method is energy-efficient and economical. Microwave synthesis has been applied successfully for the synthesis of many zeolites and molecular sieves such as A, Y, ZSM-5, Beta, MCM-41, TS-1, aluminophosphates such as AlPO4-5, CoAPO-5, MgAPO-5, AlPO4-11 and large pore gallophosphate cloverite and GaPO4 [12–19]. Also mesoporous MCM-41 has been synthesized. So far no report on the microwave synthesis of MCM-48 has been published. Conventionally, MCM-48 can be synthesized at 90 °C by heating the synthesis gel in an oven at autogenous pressure for 4 days. In this study we reported on the synthesis of MCM-48 using the microwave method and on its structural characterization with XRD, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2 adsorption. MCM-48 was synthesized in polypropylene bottles under ambient pressure. 1 M NaOH solution (Baker) was taken in the bottle and cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide (CTABr, aldrich) was added along with water, under continuos stirring over a waterbath at 40–80 °C. Afterwards, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS, Merck) was added and the stirring was continued until the gel was homogeneous. The final molar gel composition of the synthesis mixture was TEOS: 0.15 CTABr: 0.5 NaOH: 80 H2O. The final gel was divided in two parts and poured in Teflon autoclaves for microwave heating. The microwave-oven used for this synthesis was a MDS-2000 system with a temperature controller as well as adjustable power output (maximum 650 W). The gel was allowed to heat at 100 °C for 1 and 2 h. The solid white products obtained were separated by filtration, washed with a mixture of H2O, Ethanol and HCl (molar ratio 18:1:2) and then dried at room temperature following a procedure similar as described in literature . The surfactant inside the as-synthesized material was removed by calcination at 100 °C for 12 h then at 540 °C for 5 h. X-ray powder diffraction experiments were carried out using a Philips diffractometer with Cu–Kα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å) in Bragg–Brentano geometry on flat plate sample holders. Single pulse 29Si MAS-NMR experiments (pulse width 5 μs) were performed with a Bruker ASX 400. The delay time between pulses was set to 300 and 60 s for as made and the calcined samples, respectively . Spinning speed was set to about 3.5 kHz. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms were measured at the temperature of boiling nitrogen using an automatic Quantachrome NOVA 2000 Analyzer. Prior to the sorption experiment, the materials were dehydrated by evacuation under specific condition (300 °C, 2 h). The BET-surface area was calculated using the conventional BET equation . The crystal size and morphology of the samples were monitored by SEM using a LEO-1530 Gemini microscope. TEM was performed using a Hitachi H-8100 instrument operating at 200 kV. 3 Results and discussion The powder X-ray diffraction patterns for MCM-48 are shown in Fig. 1. The patterns of samples prepared by microwave hydrothermal method resembled to those prepared by the conventional, hydrothermal method. The domination 211 peak with a peak maximum at ~2.35° 2θ for Cu Kα radiation (d(211) ~ 37.6 Å) is the only resolved diffraction maximum. Indexing and analysis of peaks at higher angles was discarded because of to high experimental uncertainties. The half width of the 211 peak in the XRD pattern is wider in samples made using microwave heating, which might indicate less homogeneity of the mesoporous MCM-48 product. For mesoporous materials increasing peak half width in the diffraction pattern might be due to inhomogeneity or increased wall thickness. In addition, a mixture of different material types might cause partial signal overlap for the first peak, which will be discussed later. However, the XRD experiment can not reveal the reason for the ambiguity. In fact, because of the limited penetration depth of the microwave during the heating there is significant temperature difference between the liquid inside and the Teflon liner, which might lead to inhomogeneities in the process of formation. In order to differentiate MCM-48 from MCM-41 it is important to notice that for the first peak in the powder diffraction diagram at ~2.35° 2θ hexagonal indexing leads to the following 2θ positions for the 110 and 200 reflections of 4.1° and 4.7° 2θ, respectively. This is significantly different from the maxima in the range between 3.9° and 4.4° 2θ found in the sample synthesized using microwave heating which are typical for MCM-48 type materials. The calcination procedure was carried out in two steps. First, the sample was heated to 100 °C and annealed for 12 h then the temperature was increased up to 540 °C for 4 h. The XRD diagram of the calcined sample also shown in Fig. 1 reveals the characteristic shift of the first peak to lower d-values indicating the condensation process of the silicate species. The concomitant increase of peak intensity and half width makes the identification of the synthesis product difficult. The intensity increase of the main peak after calcination is a result of increased diffraction contrast between channel pore and wall (Fig. 1) . This peak shift of ~0.7° 2θ is also typical for MCM-48 type material and was not observed for MCM-41 synthesized under similar conditions. TEM images (Fig. 2) reveal that parts of a mesoporous particles are well aligned with respect to the electron beam and show the periodicity of the MCM-48 silica framework, yet, some parts of the images show disorder and indicate wormhole like material which may be the reasons for the peak broadening, reflected in the X-ray diffraction diagram. For improving the structural periodicity, MCM-48 was kept at 50 °C for 4 days then calcined as described before. But no difference was noticed in the TEM images before and after annealing. There was not much difference in powder XRD patterns of the sample heated in the microwave for 1 and 2 h, which means 1 h heating was sufficient for successful synthesis. In 29Si MAS NMR (Fig. 3) the as made samples exhibited two broad resonances at –100 ppm for the Q3 environment and at –110 ppm for the Q4 environment, respectively. The hydrothermally prepared MCM-48 samples show the Q3/Q4 ratio significantly above 1, but interestingly this ratio is 1:1 for microwave prepared sample. The reason is not clear, but it may be one of the characteristic feature of the sample prepared using microwave heating. The ratio of Q3 to Q4 units decreased after calcination indicating the condensation of the silanol groups to form the more stable highly four-connected tetrahedral silicate network. As shown in SEM (Fig. 4), the average size of the samples prepared by microwave method was about 1 μm, which was bigger than that prepared my normal hydrothermal method (0.4–0.5 μm). The morphology of the crystals is spherical and similar in both the methods. The pore size distribution curve of the sample prepared using microwave heating is given in Fig. 5 and relevant data are summarized in Table 1. The sample shows similar behavior and properties as samples prepared with the conventional hydrothermal method. The surface area and pore diameter are in the range typical for MCM-48 type material , but slightly lower than those of samples prepared from similar composition using the conventional hydrothermal method. This can be explained considering the XRD patterns, 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy and the TEM images. The peak in the powder XRD diagram of the sample made by microwave heating showed broad FWHM. Since the interference pattern in the PXRD experiment is the result of the periodic arrangement of slabs of high and low electron density in two dimensions and not of the periodic ordering of single atoms as scatterers, the wall thickness as contribution to the scattering from slabs of high electron density is reflected in the signal half width, i.e. the pore wall in the sample made using microwave heating might be thicker than those of samples synthesized by the conventional hydrothermal method. This is in agreement with the 29Si NMR spectrum with a higher content of Q4-linked silicate tetrahedra, which must be present in higher concentration in samples with thicker pore walls. The increased pore wall thickness leads to less surface area and pore volume in the material. As far as the wormhole structure is concerned, the pore diameter and the wall structure should be comparable with the major phase MCM-48 and should not take influence on the values derived from N2 adsorption measurements. However, the TEM results show that a fraction of the samples prepared via microwave route is not well ordered. Consequently, the experimental parameters used during the microwave treatment need to be optimized carefully in order to obtain perfectly ordered mesoporous materials. All attempts to synthesize pure phase MCM-48 using the microwave method failed so far. Result of the N2 adsorption experiment Sample \| BET-surface area (m2 g–1) \| Total pore volume (BJH) (ccg–1) \| Mean pore diameter (BJH) (nm) \| MCM-48 (h) \| 1257 \| 0.93 \| 2.5 \| MCM-48 (m) \| 835 \| 0.70 \| 2.0 \| The present study demonstrates the rapid synthesis of MCM-48 by the microwave method, at least as the major component in the reaction product. Much shorter time of crystallization has been achieved by this method compared to conventional synthesis. Although there is some structural disorder, mesoporous material with an intersecting channel system has been obtained. Some of the syntheses products yielded a better and more homogeneous products. Further improvement of the preparations is still needed to optimize the homogeneity of the synthesis product. However, the microwave heating method can be imagined as a time and energy-efficient route for obtaining MCM-48 type mesoporous materials. Authors like to thank Technical Chemistry Department for measuring the N2 adsorption and Physical Chemistry 1 for the TEM measurement. This work has been supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in the frame of the Sonderforschungsberich ‘Metal-support interactions in heterogenous catalysis’, SFB 558.

Indiana based Grace Community Church has invested in a range of Vista lighting control solutions as part of a multi-million dollar expansion of its worship facilities. Models purchased include the full-size Vista T2, the portable Vista S1 and the playback-only Vista M1 consoles. This is to expand the church‘s capacity to three weekend worship auditoriums, to accommodate as many as 6,000 churchgoers on a typical weekend. The Church relies on a team of over 100 volunteers to assist the paid production staff during services, which can run simultaneously in up to three auditoriums. Senior Director of Production, Daryl Cripe, therefore felt it was essential to invest in a lighting console that the inexperienced volunteers could easily understand. He commented: “For our Church‘s philosophy, I had equal desire for functionality and ease of use in our choice of lighting console. Instead of being like a typical theater or concert, where a single person is responsible for all lighting, we are passionate about allowing volunteers, all of whom have no previous lighting experience, to be trained on and operate our theatrical lighting system. As such, yes, we need a lot of features and stability, yet we also need a console that is visual, easy to train on.” Daryl and his production team utilized or tested various consoles, yet nothing they tried in their opinion compared to the Vista in terms of ease of use. He commented: “From our volunteer‘s perspective, the Vista is VISUAL. They can look at a screen and see what they are doing. It feels very familiar to navigate, so they can use their existing computer knowledge. We can configure the Vista screen to look like our lighting layout in the room. The ease of creating groups, presets, cues etc. is all so simple. In addition, patching fixtures in Vista is incredibly simple. I recently showed the Technical Director at another Church our T2 console and when I showed him how to patch an automated fixture, his mouth dropped open!” Whereas most traditional full-scale lighting desks rely on number-crunching to program shows, the Vista utilizes a graphic based interface. As a result, users can work visually and get on with designing better shows, rather than getting distracted by the actual programming process itself. It makes programming extremely fast and getting to grips with the console a relatively short learning curve. The lighting console‘s ease of use would mean absolutely nothing if it wasn‘t up to the job of controlling the state-of-the-art lighting system in the Church‘s main auditorium; the centrepiece of their expansion program. Featuring a large 80ft by 40ft stage and seating in a 270° configuration, the Church uses high production values to emphasize the themes of its services via an eclectic mix of music, drama and video. The venue‘s extensive lighting rig includes over 850 LED, moving and conventional fixtures controlled using six universes of DMX and over 2,700 DMX channels. Daryl was looking to bring his creative vision for the services to life using the rig‘s many cutting-edge LED fixtures; to literally paint the whole room with light. A full-size Linux-based Vista T2 console provides seamless automation of the auditorium‘s lighting rig and blackout window shutters. LED fixtures provide color changing wall uplighting either side of the stage area, while a mixture of moving lights, PARs, ParNels and conventional fixtures provide theatrical performance lighting for music and drama during the services. In addition, smaller 1,100-seater and 400-seater auditoriums are controlled using the Vista S1 and M1 PC based consoles. The two control surfaces are designed to be used with either a Windows PC or native Mac laptop and DMX channel dongle package, providing portable and affordable Vista solutions. The ability for volunteers to be able to switch easily between consoles in all three auditoriums was another key factor in Daryl‘s decision to choose the Vista. All models share exactly the same visual interface and controls, making a transition between models seamless. Daryl commented: “Frankly, I cannot overstate how important this consistency is. Going back to the reality of utilizing volunteers, of DESIRING to use volunteers, the ability for those volunteers trained on the T2 to walk into a room with Vista PC and S1 / M1 and sit down and get to work creating… that is extremely valuable! In addition, if someone was trained on Vista PC, it‘s not difficult for them to then utilize the T2. Also, we have had volunteers take Vista PC home, to experiment with it on their own. Again, it‘s a great value to our philosophy and a great opportunity for our volunteers!” Another labour-saving feature of the Vista, its innovative timeline editing function, is proving invaluable to helping the volunteers understand how to program a show. The timeline gives users the complete picture of their lighting events, making it easy to make sense of complex changes and put the finishing touches to their show. The Vista‘s intuitive interface is proving popular with leading US houses of worship. When launched, the product was voted ‘Best Automated Lighting Controller’ and ‘Best Overall Lighting Product’ by an expert panel of judges at the 2006 WFX Show New Product Awards in Dallas, due to its suitability to the industry’s unique production environment. Grace Community Church Senior Director of Production, Daryl Cripe, commented: “While a few ’big name consoles‘ often get most noticed in the touring world, the reality is that nothing I have seen compares to the combination of functionality and ease of use that the Vista series provides. We still need a robust console based on our lighting rig, but it is critical that it is easily trainable to volunteers. These consoles allow us to push our creativity and ultimately, our volunteers have the joy of combining creativity and support of our services. We want them to be spending their time having fun programming, not trying to figure out some complex function on the console itself. ANY church that desires to use theatrical lighting and wants to provide volunteers the opportunities to create should be examining this series of consoles. We love our Vistas.” Feature photo – the Grace Community Church lighting team. Courtesy of ©Kris Rinas

In-ceiling speakers are a great solution for home audio, and can provide fantastic sound quality while also being super discreet and virtually invisible. If you think ceiling speakers are poor quality compared to traditional speakers and plug-in wireless speakers, then think again. All models from top brands use technology from their Hi-Fi speakers to produce high quality true-to-life sound, and premium models can sound every bit as good as their Hi-Fi relatives if installed correctly (for further information on this please read our blog, ‘Getting the best from your custom installation speakers’). See Nothing, Hear Everything We're passionate about 'see nothing, hear everything' audio, and helping our customers install superb systems to give them years of listening pleasure. Ceiling speakers are the perfect solution for discreet home audio systems, whether it's one room or an entire house. Enjoy Hi-Fi sound without the Hi-Fi, and rediscover the quality of proper speakers. We stock a huge range of in-ceiling speakers from top brands like Monitor Audio, Bowers & Wilkins, KEF, Focal, DALI, JBL, Sonos, Lithe Audio and more. Depending on your requirements, you may need a specific type of in-ceiling speaker suited to the location, functionality, or existing wiring. To ensure you choose the correct speaker, here are some further details of specific models. And if you need any assistance selecting products, designing a system, or installing audio into a project, then please get in touch with our expert team. Passive Speakers - The majority of custom installation speakers are passive, which means that just like Hi-Fi speakers, they must be wired back to an amplifier. Wireless streaming amplifiers like the Sonos Amp are the perfect partner to passive speakers. Passive speakers are normally wired as a stereo pair, or two stereo pairs for larger areas. Active Speakers - Active speakers have a built-in amplifier. They need to be wired to a mains power supply, but because no speaker cable needs to be run back to an amplifier, they can be easier to retrofit in some circumstances. Connectivity for music playback is via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi models are required for multiroom audio and zone grouping, but Bluetooth models can be a cost effective solution for more basic needs. Single Stereo Speakers - These speakers are passive but feature a dual voice coil and dual tweeters allowing them to be used individually with a stereo amplifier. They are generally used for smaller spaces like bathrooms and en-suites where a pair of speakers might be difficult to accommodate or unnecessary. When wiring for single stereo speakers, please remember that they require both left and right inputs, and therefore need a 4-core cable or 2x 2-core cables. Low Profile Speakers - A typical in-ceiling speaker will require around 100-150mm of ceiling void depth. Timber floors generally provide ample depth, but certain constructions, such as concrete floors and suspended ceilings may have a significantly reduced depth. In these situations, a specialist low profile in-ceiling speaker designed to be as slim as possible may be needed. Weatherproof Speakers - In-ceiling speakers can be used in many different environments, but if the installation location is damp or has high humidity, such as a wet room, shower, sauna, or outdoor location, then it is recommended to install IP rated weather resistant models to ensure long life in these harsher conditions. Marine Speakers - Marine applications are arguably the toughest environment for in-ceiling speakers. Specialist marine speakers are designed to withstand water, salt spray, high humidity and UV exposure, while at the same time delivering the high performance expected for luxury yachts.

Instrument Cluster Repair FAQs How To Remove The Instrument Cluster The instrument cluster assembly is usually held in place by a plastic bezel that connects it to the dashboard. The removal process should start with locating all the screws holding the bezel (below the dash and around the bezel) and removing them. Once the bezel is gone, you will have easy access to the cluster, which should be held with a couple of additional screws. However, before completely removing the cluster, be sure to detach all wires and cables without damaging the connectors. Of course, as always, when you are dealing with a car’s electronic components, disconnect the battery just to be safe. How To Install An Instrument Cluster In order to re-install your instrument cluster, you must follow the reverse procedure. Locate the wires and cables and ensure they are appropriately connected before placing the dash cluster. Secure the cluster with screws and then install the plastic bezel. Connect the car battery and test the instrument cluster, its responsiveness, features, and accuracy. Many people are concerned about what this means for the mileage shown on the odometer. We talk more about that on the ISS Automotive blog. Why Fix Your Instrument Cluster Numerous things could go wrong with your instrument cluster. From simple things like failing light bulbs to loose speedometer cables. However, the first thing you should do before you start tearing down your dashboard is try to determine the problem clearly. Sometimes, if you believe that your fuel gauge is broken, it could be a faulty sending unit in your tank. Some fixes are easy, like replacing cables or bulbs, but most are very complicated and require special tools and expertise.

Click here to find your instrument repair > Clusters How much does it cost to repair a cluster? Repair services can cost between $50-$250. The price will depend on the severity of the damage and if any other parts need to be replaced. Can an instrument cluster be fixed? In most cases, yes. Instrument clusters can be repaired if they are not working correctly. Many times, the problem is with the gauges themselves and not the cluster. If the problem is with the cluster, it may be possible to replace it with a new one or have it repaired by a professional. Some of the most common problems that we see with instrument clusters include: - Dead or dim pixels - Inaccurate or stuck gauges - Missing needles - Erratic or flickering lights If you are experiencing any of these issues, or if your instrument cluster is simply not working correctly, we can help. We understand how important it is to have a functioning instrument cluster, and we will do everything we can to get yours back up and running again quickly and efficiently. Contact Instrument Sales & Service at 1-800-548-1195 or visit our company site at [email protected]. What causes the instrument cluster to stop working? There are a few potential causes for a vehicle instrument cluster to stop working, including: - Fuse issues: A blown fuse is one of the most common reasons why an instrument cluster may stop working. Check the fuse box for any blown fuses and replace them as needed. - Loose wiring: Another possibility is that the wires connecting the instrument cluster to the vehicle's electrical system are loose or damaged. Inspect the wiring and tighten or replace any damaged wires as needed. - Electrical issues: If the fuse and wiring are both in good condition, then there may be an issue with the instrument cluster itself or with the vehicle's electrical system. Have the vehicle's electrical system been checked by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and repair any issues. - Mechanical issues: In some cases, the instrument cluster may stop working due to a mechanical issue, such as a broken speedometer needle or a faulty gauge. If you suspect that there is a mechanical issue, have the instrument cluster inspected and repaired by a qualified mechanic. How do you fix a broken instrument cluster? There are a few ways that you can fix a broken instrument cluster. One way is to simply replace the entire unit. Another way is to send it out to a professional company that specializes in instrument cluster repair. Or, you can attempt to repair it yourself. If you are going to attempt to repair it yourself, you will need to first identify what is wrong with the unit. Once you have determined the problem, you will need to find the correct replacement part. Once you have the replacement part, you will need to follow the instructions on how to install it. Common Questions for Instrument Cluster Repair Service What are the common issues with instrument clusters? - Gauges sticking or giving incorrect readings - Dead pixels in the displays - Random flickering or lights going - Current mileage is not being displayed - Incorrect or blank fuel gauge readings - Tachometer needle bouncing or sticking - Speedometer gauge needle not working - Warning lights staying on - The odometer reading is incorrect - Low oil gauge pressure How do I fix my instrument cluster? If your instrument cluster is malfunctioning, it's important to have it repaired as soon as possible. Depending on the issue, there are a number of different ways to fix it. The most common method is simply replacing the individual component that is not working correctly. This can be done by a qualified mechanic, technician, or automotive electrician. In some cases, the entire instrument cluster will need to be replaced. Does a replacement instrument cluster need to be programmed? If you are replacing your existing cluster with a used one, it will need to be programmed. If you are installing a new or rebuilt cluster, it will not need to be programmed. How do I know if my instrument cluster is faulty? There are a few symptoms that can indicate that your instrument cluster is not working properly. If your speedometer needle fluctuates or jumps erratically, this is usually a sign that the cluster is going bad. If your fuel gauge or temperature gauge isn't working correctly, this can also be an indication of a problem. If any of the warning lights on the cluster stay lit or come on when they shouldn't, this is another symptom of a cluster issue. If you are experiencing any of these problems, it is important to have your instrument cluster checked out by a qualified technician or mechanic as soon as possible. A faulty cluster can cause a lot of problems with your car, and it is important to have it repaired before it gets worse. What types of repairs are available? There are a few different types of repairs that can be performed on an instrument cluster. Standard repair service - This type of service usually involves replacing any burnt-out bulbs or repairing any loose or damaged wires. This is the most basic type of repair, and it is typically the cheapest option. Advanced repair service - This type of repair is usually necessary when the cluster has more serious issues, such as a faulty circuit board. Advanced repairs can be more expensive, but they will usually fix the problem for good. Custom repairs - Some companies offer custom repairs for instrument clusters. This means that they will create a new circuit board for your specific vehicle. Custom repairs can be more expensive than standard or advanced repairs, but they will usually fix the problem for good. What is the average cost of repairing an instrument? The cost of repairing an instrument cluster can vary depending on the type of repair that is needed. Standard repairs are usually the cheapest, while custom repairs can be the most expensive. The average cost of a standard repair is usually around $150, while the average cost of a custom repair is usually around $300. Can I add a transmission temperature gauge? Yes, you can add a transmission temperature gauge to your instrument cluster. This can be done by adding a new circuit board, or by customizing the existing circuit board.
Review: Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns Michael Bowers takes an interesting approach with his book, Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns, by having created what I'd consider an encyclopedia approach. A number of different layout and design patterns are presented with their HTML and CSS solutions. Because the book is very referential, it's unlikely that you'll pick it up and read it from beginning to end. It is, however, a great book to have at the ready when working through a design. There are solutions for: - callouts and quotes, - drop caps, - sprites, and - alerts like inline, hanging, floating or tooltips. The first third of the book covers basic stuff like box model handling and positioning. The middle third gets into various layouts, both at the macro (multi-column layouts) and micro (lists, tables) level. The final third covers more of the nitty gritty like image drop shadows. My only complaint with the book is the absoluteness of the solutions. I've learned that there's more than one way to solve a problem and that each solution comes with its own pros and cons. With that said, Bowers has done a formidable job documenting the various patterns and provided quality and tested solutions. It's a great one-stop shop for HTML and CSS solutions. Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns is a good reference to add to your library, no matter what level developer you are.
by Marcy Denker At the top of the escarpment along the Hudson River, a short steep climb through the woods north of Rockland Lake, is Hook Mountain. The grand view from this favorite destination for hikers captures the river and sky from a sort of penthouse garden with a floor of grass and stone. I went there the other day to see whether a “strike” had been carried out on the invasive vine called black swallow wort. A couple of weeks earlier I had found patches of it growing among the path rush, bottlebrush grass, and little bluestem. If the swallow wort were to displace these native grasses, the beauty and the ecological health of the place would be diminished. Large, tangled swaths of swallow wort have proliferated along the Long Path farther south and along the bike path below. Removing the relatively small patches here seemed to make sense, and I checked with Linda Rohleder the Coordinator of the New York New Jersey Trail Conference’s Invasive Species Strike Force and the new leader of the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM). She agreed and arranged to send Keith Shane, a Cornell University biology student who spent the summer as an intern with the Strike Force, to do the job. When I reached the spot the other day I found patches of yellowing leaves and little yellow warning signs that marked a pesticide application. The plant has an extensive underground root system, making manual removal difficult, and in mid-summer the seed pods split open. Disturbing the plants could send thousands of seeds on little silky parachutes far and wide. So a two percent solution of glysophate (the active ingredient in RoundUp) was used. Next year there will be more work to do. Back down below along the road to the river trail is a burgeoning woodland landscape of aliens in flux. A newcomer, mile-a-minute vine, now clambers over mugwort, Japanese stiltgrass, and wineberry. The ubiquitous Norway maple dominates the canopy. Chances are that all of these invasive plants will be left alone to do what they will. With limited resources, parks managers will target high value spots, like the one on the ridge where there is an established landscape of predominantly native plants and a relatively small amount of invasive plants. In other cases the presence of a threatened or endangered plant will determine the approach. Invasive plant species are identified based on the harm that they can do to the environment. Not all introduced plants become invasive, and there are gray areas in determining harm. But, generally, when describing the most troublesome actors that compete for territory in our parks, along roads and in our gardens it’s clear that any benefits these introduced plants provide are heavily outweighed by the costs. They displace species that provide much more value, and they bring along negative side effects. Take Japanese barberry, a common landscape shrub that has come to dominate sections of the understory in woods throughout the region. Birds disperse the seeds, and the shrubs quickly displace native vegetation, deplete the soil, and create an environment that appeals to white footed mice, which carry Lyme Disease. Earthworms (another introduced species!) also like the barberry habitat, and eat the leaf litter that would otherwise build up on the ground and create healthy soil hydrology. As a result, barberry infested areas are prone to soil erosion. Some invasive plants are familiar in our gardens either as weeds, like mugwort, or as ornamentals, like Japanese barberry and privet. It’s easy to get to know the top invasive species in our area using the internet. The NYS DEC’s Advisory Invasive Plant List ranks key species of high or very high concern. Other sites provide factsheets like this one from the USDA with detailed plant descriptions. They also give recommended control methods, which is just as important. Using the wrong method can sometimes be wasted effort, or even do more harm than good. Once aware of plants like these it’s hard to miss them along streets, highways, train lines, and in our yards. And as entomologist Douglas Tallamy has argued, to the delight of many readers, it’s in our yards that is will be easiest to do something to make a positive difference. In Bringing Nature Home, Tallamy advocates naturalistic gardens using native plants to support local wildlife, starting with the insects. The book is a rallying cry to suburban gardeners to design their yards to provide food and habitat for native bees, butterflies and other insects because many of these coevolved with certain native plants and need them to survive. For these “specialists,” introduced plants in the same family won’t do. Consider the monarch butterfly, whose larvae have evolved to eat native milkweeds. Milkweed populations have declined due to the use of the herbicide glysophate in agriculture, and so monarch populations are down too. The alien black swallow wort on Hook Mountain is in the milkweed family and plays host to the monarch, but while the butterflies lay their eggs on it, the larvae don’t survive. By adding native milkweeds to our gardens we can support the monarchs. There are plenty of terrific resources for native gardeners on the internet and on the ground. The downloadable Finding Alternatives to Invasive Ornamental Plants in New York shows native substitutes for common introduced ornamental plants. In Designing Gardens with the Flora of the American East landscape architect Carolyn Summer’s describes the fundamentals of designing for wildlife and shows how to use native plants in traditional gardens. The Native Plant Center on the campus of Westchester Community College offers a series of short courses, hosts an annual native plant sale, and maintains two demonstration gardens. And this spring the new 3.5 acre Native Plant Garden opened at the New York Botanical Garden. Native plant gardening has been a strong trend all through the decades of my career as a landscape designer, but today it’s clearer why it matters and how to make a positive difference. Sustainable landscape design, planning, and land management strategies seek to increase biodiversity, slow extinctions, and maximize ecosystem services. As we adjust our sites, we are adjusting our sights, looking beyond the garden fence to wilder places to protect them and bring their lessons home. Landscape Designer Marcy Denker, ASLA, lives in Nyack, NY.

When was the last time you had your chimney inspected or cleaned? If you’re like most homeowners, it’s probably been longer than you’d care to admit. It’s easy to forget about your chimney until there’s a problem. However, neglecting chimney maintenance can lead to serious safety hazards and financial burdens. Let’s explore the risks and the solutions, so you can make informed decisions about your home. Why Chimney Maintenance Should Be a Priority Your chimney isn’t just an architectural feature—it’s a critical part of your home’s safety system. It’s responsible for venting smoke and harmful gases like carbon monoxide away from your living space. Without regular maintenance, it can become a ticking time bomb. When you skip maintenance, issues like creosote buildup, blockages, or structural damage can compromise your chimney’s functionality. Worse, these problems can go unnoticed until they escalate into emergencies like chimney fires or toxic gas leaks. By scheduling routine maintenance with professionals like Lucky Sully Chimney Sweep, you can ensure your chimney is functioning safely and efficiently. Annual inspections and cleanings are not just recommendations; they’re essential for the safety of your home and family. Taking this proactive step can save you from costly repairs, higher energy bills, or insurance issues down the line. Hidden Dangers Lurking in Neglected Chimneys While your chimney may look fine from the outside, it could be hiding serious problems within. Here are some of the most common dangers associated with neglecting chimney maintenance. Every time you burn wood, a byproduct called creosote forms inside your chimney. This substance is highly flammable, and as it builds up, it increases the risk of a chimney fire. Even a small amount of creosote can pose a significant hazard, making regular cleanings essential. A professional cleaning from Lucky Sully Chimney Sweep removes this buildup and restores your chimney’s safety. Don’t let this invisible danger jeopardize your home. Blockages and Obstructions Nature has a way of sneaking into places it doesn’t belong. Leaves, twigs, bird nests, and even small animals can block your chimney. These obstructions disrupt airflow, forcing smoke and dangerous gases like carbon monoxide back into your home. Blocked chimneys are a common cause of carbon monoxide poisoning—a silent and potentially deadly risk. A professional inspection ensures your chimney is clear and safe for use. Cracked or Damaged Chimney Liners Your chimney liner plays a critical role in protecting your home from the heat and byproducts of combustion. Over time, liners can crack or deteriorate, allowing heat to escape into surrounding walls or ceilings. This not only damages your home but also increases the risk of a house fire. Timely inspections and repairs by certified experts like Lucky Sully Chimney Sweep can prevent these problems from escalating. Water is one of the most destructive forces for chimneys. Moisture can seep into cracks, weakening the bricks and mortar. Over time, this can compromise the structural integrity of your chimney, leading to expensive repairs or even collapse. Installing a chimney cap and addressing cracks early can prevent water damage. Routine maintenance ensures your chimney is well-protected against the elements. The Financial Toll of Neglect Neglecting your chimney doesn’t just put your home and family at risk—it also comes with a hefty price tag. Here’s how the costs can pile up. What starts as a small issue—like a cracked brick or minor creosote buildup—can quickly escalate into a major problem. Structural damage, liner replacements, and chimney rebuilds can cost thousands of dollars. Preventative maintenance is a small investment compared to the cost of extensive repairs. Regular services from Lucky Sully can save you money and stress. Higher Energy Bills A neglected chimney can reduce your home’s energy efficiency. Blockages and damaged liners disrupt airflow, making your heating system work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. This inefficiency results in higher utility bills. Keeping your chimney clean and functional ensures optimal performance, saving you money on heating costs. Check out our chimney services to learn more. Home insurance policies often exclude coverage for damages caused by negligence. If you can’t provide proof of regular chimney maintenance, your claim might be denied in the event of a fire or structural damage. With professional documentation from Lucky Sully Chimney Sweep, you’ll have the records you need to satisfy your insurance provider and ensure coverage. How to Protect Your Home and Wallet The best way to avoid these risks is through proactive chimney care. Here’s how you can keep your chimney in top shape. Schedule Regular Inspections Annual inspections are crucial for identifying potential issues before they become serious problems. A professional will assess your chimney’s condition, check for blockages, and recommend necessary repairs. Schedule your inspection today with Lucky Sully Chimney Sweep and protect your home’s safety. Invest in Professional Cleaning Professional chimney cleaning isn’t just about removing soot—it’s about ensuring your chimney is safe and efficient. Experts have the tools and expertise to remove creosote and debris effectively. Explore our chimney cleaning services to keep your chimney in peak condition. Address Repairs Promptly Small issues like cracks or minor leaks might seem insignificant, but they can quickly worsen. Addressing these problems early saves money and prevents further damage.

With expert services from Lucky Sully Chimney Sweep, you can ensure your chimney remains a safe and functional part of your home. How often should I clean my chimney? You should clean your chimney at least once a year or after 50-70 fires, depending on usage. What are the signs of a blocked chimney?

How To Introduce A New Cat To Your Household And Help Them Adjust Introducing a new cat to your household can be a challenging but rewarding experience. To ensure a smooth transition for both your new cat and your existing pets, it's important to take the proper steps to introduce them properly. First, it's important to create a safe and comfortable space for your new cat. This could include a separate room or area of your home where they can retreat and feel safe. Make sure the room is equipped with everything they need, such as a bed, food, water, and litter box. Next, it's important to give your new cat time to adjust to their new surroundings. Allow them to explore their new space at their own pace and avoid forcing interaction with your existing pets. This will help them feel more comfortable and less stressed. Once your new cat has had a chance to settle in, it's time to introduce them to your existing pets. Start by allowing them to sniff each other through a closed door or baby gate. This will help them become familiar with each other's scent. As they become more comfortable, you can gradually increase their interaction time. It's also important to supervise all interactions between your new cat and existing pets. Make sure that everyone is getting along and intervene if any aggressive behavior is observed. Another important factor in introducing a new cat is to establish a consistent routine. Cats thrive on routine, so make sure to provide them with regular meals, playtime, and grooming. Lastly, provide plenty of love and patience. The introduction process can take time, and it's important to be patient and understanding with your new cat as they adjust to their new surroundings. In conclusion, introducing a new cat to your household can be a challenging but rewarding experience. By creating a safe and comfortable space for your new cat, giving them time to adjust, introducing them to your existing pets gradually, supervising all interactions, establishing a consistent routine, and providing plenty of love and patience, you can help ensure that your new cat feels comfortable and happy in their new home.
“Those who need a tool for critical listening have a comfy, capable new option in the Rode NTH-100 headphones.” - Sleek, modern design - Superbly cushioned comfort - Very good passive sound isolation - Dual locking cable inputs - Very clear and balanced sound - Can't fold or swivel 90 degrees - Heavier than most studio monitors - Narrow headband “Why you can trust Digital Trends – We have a 20-year history of testing, reviewing, and rating products, services and apps to help you make a sound buying decision. Find out more about how we test and score products.“ Rode — the Australian company beloved by YouTubers, podcasters, and other makers for its versatile family of high-performance microphones — has made the jump to the other side of the audio chain with its first headphones, the $149 Rode NTH-100. Their price and intended audience (pro and amateur content creators) puts them squarely in competition with Audio-Technica’s $149 ATH-M50x, a set of closed-back over-ear studio monitors with an almost cultlike devotion. The NTH-100 step into the ring with a thoroughly modern design and advanced materials, but is that enough to persuade prospective buyers to take the (ahem) Rode less traveled? Let’s check them out. From their asymmetrical, triangular earcups, to their single-sided forks and signature Rode gold dot accents, the NTH-100 are both elegant and eye-catching. Instead of the usual leather or protein leather used by most studio cans, Rode has made extensive use of breathable, suede-like Alcantra fabric to wrap both the headband and the ear cushions. They don’t fold, and the earcup pivots can’t rotate a full 90-degrees to lie flat. Inside the generously padded ear cushions is a memory foam that incorporates CoolTech, a Rode-created gel that the company says will keep your ears from heating up the way they might when using other headphones. Rode says they’re easily and quickly swappable should you need to replace them. But the most interesting feature is Rode’s FitLok size adjustment system. Most headbands use index sizing — small notches that let you increase or decrease the size of the headphones in small increments. But this approach can sometimes lead to a Goldilocks problem: A bit too big, or a bit too small, but never quite right. FitLok’s rotating, locking cams let you adjust the spring steel headband to exactly the length you want and then lock that size in place. In another nod to getting the headphones set up just the way you want them, Rode has installed locking headphone cable inputs on both earcups, a feature that tends to only show up on much more expensive headphones like the V-Moda M200. There’s just one problem with Rode’s approach to the NTH-100. They don’t fold and the earcup pivots can’t rotate a full 90-degrees to lie flat. This makes portability more difficult as they’ll take up a lot of space in a bag, and it hinders anyone who wants to monitor audio via one ear — DJs being the obvious example. You might also find that glossy, debossed Rode “Ø’” logos on the earcup surfaces are easily scratched, so be sure to keep them protected when packing them. Rode includes a single, 7.8-foot cable — ideal for studios, but maybe not so much for other uses. There’s also a protective but very thin synthetic bag, a 3.5mm to quarter-inch adapter, and some colored plastic rings to help with cable identification. Though I didn’t subject the NTH-100 to any durability tests, Rode claims it has engineered these headphones to withstand quite a bit of punishment: The wires that connect the earcups to one another via the headband can handle up to 55 pounds of force. The locking audio cable uses a slightly softer plastic for its connector than the input jacks on the earcups. Rode claims that should the cable be yanked with sufficient force, it’s the connector, not the jack that will fail first, which is preferable to the alternative. The price of Rode’s elegant design and use of high-quality materials like metal and the CoolTech gel, is paid in extra weight. At 12 ounces, the NTH-100 are heavier than the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x (10 ounces), V-Moda M-200 (10.2 ounces), and Beyerdynamic’s DT 770 PRO (9.5 ounces). They envelop your head in a big, comfortable hug. But more weight doesn’t always mean less comfort. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by just how comfy Apple’s AirPods Max feel when they’re on my head, and they weigh a whopping 13.6 ounces. The same is mostly true for the NTH-100. They envelop your head in a big, comfortable hug that minimizes much of their weight. Those Alcantra-wrapped ear cushions feel amazing against your ears and head, and their relatively deep sides provide an airy, roomy pocket for ears of any size. Those deep cushions also provide a forgiving fit for people who wear glasses. There’s more than enough swivel and pivot play in the hinge components to get the earcups to lie flush against your head. All things considered, they remind me of the plush fit of the open-back Sennheiser HD560S, an incredibly comfortable set of cans. The CoolTech gel isn’t a gimmick. Well into my second hour of wearing the NTH-100, my ears felt cooler and more comfortable than any other closed-back headphones in my collection. The FitLok mechanisms work well, and have no problem keeping the headband size where you need it, though dialing in that adjustment can be a bit fiddly when the cans are on your head. They deliver a lively and energetic performance that also possesses a natural warmth. But despite these excellent design choices, two things prevent the NTH-100 from being perfect in the fit department. The first is Rode’s selection of a relatively narrow headband. All of the studio cans it competes with (including the ATH-m50x and DT 770 PRO) have headbands that are 1.5 inches at their widest points. The AirPods Max is closer to 2 inches. But the NTH-100 are a mere 1 inch wide. That means they offer 33% less surface area for distributing up to 20% more weight. Clamping force and ear cushion design can offset this discrepancy to a degree, but you do eventually become aware of that ridge on top of your head. Second, most of the NTH-100’s mass is located in the earcups. And because the earcups are so generously padded, that mass sits further away from your head. This increases the perception of weight, especially when you move your head and the earcups shift a little in response. It’s not a deal-breaker, but the ATH-M50x’s wider headband and lower-mass earcups create less fatigue over time. The Rode NTH-100 are impressively clear and balanced, letting you hear all of the subtle nuances in your preferred audio, whether it’s music, voice, or games. Some studio monitors, which strive for a neutral or flat frequency response, end up creating a sound profile that can be cold, or clinical. Not so with the NTH-100, which deliver a lively and energetic performance that also possesses a natural warmth. Bass is punchy but never overpowering, and there’s plenty of midrange detail. A track like Lorde’s Solar Power is an excellent showcase for the headphones’ ability to reproduce the resonant thrumming of an acoustic guitar, while simultaneously letting the vocals soar free, with crystal clarity. Credit must be given to Rode’s tuning of the 40 millimeter dynamic drivers, but the unsung hero is the NTH-100’s excellent passive noise isolation, which keeps external sounds mostly at bay. The soundstage is wide, but not panoramic, and within its spread, instruments and vocals enjoy precision placement, without any smearing of locations. Changes in volume are handled with smooth proportions, and if there’s any distortion, it must only show up at volumes that are well beyond my ability to endure without inducing pain. I think most pros and enthusiasts alike will take joy in listening to the NTH-100’s performance, but it’s worth pointing out that the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x still have an edge. For as clear and precise as the NTH-100 are, the M50x are even clearer, with a laser-like precision. Does that make the M50x better? Well, it depends on your tastes. Along with that extra clarity, the Audio-Technica can come across as a bit cold. For critical audio monitoring, they’re very hard to beat, but that precision can also become a tad tiring. With their warmer tone and slightly softer edges, the NTH-100 let you listen for longer — that makes them more enjoyable for times when you simply want to get lost in your favorite music, instead of performing a forensic analysis. Rode’s first headphones are sleek, plush and comfortable, and possess an excellent level of audio quality for pros and enthusiasts alike. They’re a bit heavy though, and a lack of fully articulated hinges makes them a tough sell for regular travelers or those who need single-earcup use. Is there a better alternative? For the price, I think the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x are still the cans to beat. They fold, they can be used to monitor with a single ear, and they weigh less too. They also come with three different lengths and styles of locking cable, making them more versatile. The M50x do lack the NTH-100’s modern styling and deeply plush cushioning. How long will they last? The Rode NTH-100 appear to be extremely well-built from top-quality materials. The locking design of the cables should keep the headphone inputs from being damaged, but even if that happens, you’ve got two inputs you can work with. Rode backs them with a two-year factory warranty. Should you buy them? Yes. As long as you don’t mind the absence of folding hinges, or the ability to swivel the earcups 90 degrees, the NTH-100 will be very capable audio companions whether you’re a maker, or just someone who wants to enjoy what others have made.
Tamper-resistant outlets- Are you aware of how tamper-resistant outlets can enhance the safety of your home? Electrical outlets are a common part of our daily lives, yet they pose significant risks, especially to young children and pets. Tamper-resistant outlets are an essential innovation in home safety, designed to prevent accidental electrical shocks and other hazards. In this article, we will explore the benefits of these outlets, how they work, and why they are a crucial upgrade for every household. What Are Tamper-Resistant Outlets? Tamper-resistant outlets (TROs) are designed to protect against accidental electrical shocks. These outlets feature a built-in shutter mechanism that blocks foreign objects from being inserted. Only when a plug with two or three prongs is inserted into the outlet will the shutters open, allowing electricity to flow. The mechanism behind these outlets is simple yet effective. Inside the outlet, spring-loaded shutters cover the contact openings. When equal pressure is applied simultaneously to both openings, such as when plugging in a device, the shutters slide open. However, if only one prong is inserted, the shutters remain closed, preventing access to the electrical contacts and reducing the risk of shock. Why You Need Tamper-Resistant Outlets One of the primary reasons to install tamper-resistant outlets is the enhanced safety they provide. These outlets significantly reduce the risk of electrical shocks, especially for children who might try to insert objects like keys or hairpins into the outlet. The internal shutter mechanism ensures that only plugs can access the electrical contacts, making it nearly impossible for foreign objects to cause harm. This feature is crucial in preventing accidents and injuries in homes with young children. In many regions, these outlets are now required by building codes. The National Electrical Code (NEC) mandates the use of TROs in new and renovated homes to ensure safety. Compliance with these regulations not only keeps your home safe but also helps you avoid legal issues. Ensuring that your home adheres to the NEC guidelines can prevent potential fines and legal complications, making TROs a smart and necessary investment. Prevent Electrical Fires By blocking foreign objects, these outlets help prevent electrical shorts and potential fires. Electrical fires often start when objects like paper clips, keys, or other metal items are inserted into an outlet, causing a short circuit. The internal shutters of TROs effectively eliminate this risk, making your home safer from electrical fires. This feature is especially important in reducing the risk of fire hazards, which can have devastating consequences. Peace of Mind Knowing that your outlets are safe can provide peace of mind, especially for parents and pet owners. With these outlets, you can rest assured that your children and pets are protected from electrical accidents. This sense of security allows you to focus on other aspects of home management without constantly worrying about the dangers posed by traditional outlets. Increased Property Value Homes equipped with safety features like these outlets are often more attractive to buyers, potentially increasing your property value. Modern home buyers prioritize safety and compliance with current building codes. Installing TROs not only makes your home safer but also more appealing in the real estate market. Enhanced safety features can be a selling point that sets your property apart from others, potentially leading to a higher resale value. Key Features of Tamper-Resistant Outlets Internal Shutter Mechanism The core feature of these outlets is the internal shutter mechanism. This mechanism is designed to allow plugs to be inserted normally while preventing access to the electrical contacts by foreign objects. The shutters only open when equal pressure is applied to both prong openings, ensuring that only proper plugs can engage the outlet. This simple yet effective design is what makes TROs so reliable in preventing accidental electrical shocks. Durability and Design These outlets are built to last. They are designed to withstand frequent use and provide long-term safety. Additionally, these outlets are available in various designs and colors, allowing you to maintain your home’s aesthetic while enhancing safety. The materials used in TROs are typically robust and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that the safety mechanisms remain effective throughout the outlet’s lifespan. This durability means that once you install TROs, you can rely on their safety features for many years without frequent replacements. Easy Installation and Compatibility TROs are designed to be compatible with standard electrical systems, making installation straightforward. These outlets can replace traditional ones without the need for major modifications to your electrical system. Their ease of installation means you can quickly upgrade your home’s safety without extensive downtime or complicated procedures. Additionally, their compatibility ensures that they work seamlessly with all standard plugs and appliances, maintaining convenience while enhancing safety. How Tamper-Resistant Outlets Protect Your Family Preventing Electrical Accidents TROs are highly effective in preventing electrical accidents. The internal shutters ensure that only properly inserted plugs can access the electrical current, thus preventing accidental shocks. This feature is particularly important in households with children who may not understand the dangers of electrical outlets. By blocking foreign objects, TROs eliminate one of the most common causes of household electrical injuries. Protecting Children and Pets Children and pets are naturally curious and may not understand the dangers posed by electrical outlets. Tamper-resistant outlets provide an essential layer of protection, preventing them from inserting objects into the outlets and getting shocked. This is especially crucial for families with young children who are at a higher risk of exploring their environment in unsafe ways. TROs ensure that even if a child tries to insert a toy or a pet chews on a cord, the risk of an electrical accident is minimized. Tamper-Resistant Outlets vs. Traditional Outlets Differences in Design and Function The primary difference between tamper-resistant outlets and traditional outlets is the safety mechanism. Traditional outlets do not have the internal shutters that TROs have, making them more susceptible to accidental shocks and electrical hazards. Traditional outlets are essentially open slots that allow direct access to electrical contacts, posing a significant risk if foreign objects are inserted. In contrast, TROs have built-in shutters that block access unless a proper plug is used, providing an automatic safety barrier that traditional outlets lack. Comparative Safety Benefits Tamper-resistant outlets offer superior safety benefits compared to traditional outlets. The internal shutters prevent accidental insertions, significantly reducing the risk of electrical injuries and fires. This added layer of protection is essential in creating a safer home environment. Traditional outlets can become dangerous if tampered with, but TROs are designed specifically to prevent such hazards, making them the better choice for safety-conscious homeowners. Installation Process of Tamper-Resistant Outlets DIY Installation Steps For those with basic electrical knowledge, installing a tamper-resistant outlet can be a DIY project. Here are the steps: - Turn Off Power: Switch off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker. - Remove the Old Outlet: Unscrew the old outlet and disconnect the wires. - Connect Wires to TRO: Attach the wires to the corresponding terminals on the new tamper-resistant outlet. - Secure Outlet: Screw the new outlet into the electrical box. - Test the Outlet: Turn the power back on and test the outlet with a plug. While this process is straightforward, it is crucial to ensure that the power is completely off before beginning work and to follow all safety guidelines to avoid electrical shocks or other injuries. When to Hire a Professional While DIY installation is possible, hiring a professional electrician is recommended for those unfamiliar with electrical work. Professionals ensure the job is done safely and correctly, preventing potential hazards.

Initial Investment vs. Long-Term Savings While tamper-resistant outlets may have a higher initial cost compared to traditional outlets, the long-term savings are significant. Preventing electrical accidents and potential fire hazards can save you money on medical bills and property repairs. The peace of mind and enhanced safety provided by TROs are invaluable, making the initial investment worthwhile. Over time, the cost of installing TROs is offset by the potential savings from avoiding costly and dangerous electrical accidents. Pricing of Tamper-Resistant Outlets The cost of these outlets varies depending on the brand and design. On average, they are slightly more expensive than traditional outlets, but the added safety benefits justify the cost. Typically, a tamper-resistant outlet might cost a few dollars more than a standard outlet, but this difference is minimal when considering the enhanced safety and compliance with modern building codes. Additionally, bulk purchasing for a home renovation can often reduce the per-unit cost. Common Myths About Tamper-Resistant Outlets Myth: Tamper-resistant outlets are difficult to use. Fact: TROs function just like traditional outlets; they only restrict access to foreign objects. Users will not notice any difference in daily use, and the outlets accommodate all standard plugs with ease. Myth: TROs are unnecessary if you don’t have children. Fact: TROs enhance overall household safety, protecting everyone, including pets and guests. Electrical accidents can happen to anyone, and TROs provide an additional layer of safety for all occupants. Myth: TROs are significantly more expensive than traditional outlets. Fact: While TROs do cost a bit more, the price difference is minimal and justified by the added safety benefits. The long-term savings from preventing electrical accidents far outweigh the small increase in initial cost. Tamper-resistant outlets are sometimes perceived as inconvenient, but in reality, they are as easy to use as traditional outlets. The added safety feature does not interfere with normal usage. Users will find that plugging and unplugging devices feel the same as with standard outlets, and the benefits of increased safety and compliance with regulations make TROs a superior choice. Maintenance and Longevity How to Maintain Tamper-Resistant Outlets These outlets require minimal maintenance. Regularly check for wear and tear and ensure that the shutters are functioning correctly. If you notice any issues, contact a professional electrician. Simple cleaning with a dry cloth can help maintain the appearance and function of the outlets.

Leaded petrol has been banned in the US since 1996. Petrol is sold by the US gallon, which is equal to 3.8 litres and is smaller than the British ‘imperial’ gallon. Petrol is much cheaper in the US than in other western countries (petrol tax is only 10 to 20 cents a gallon in most states), although the cost fluctuates depending on the world oil price www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/gasprices/states (see for the lowest prices in your area). Prices are usually higher during holiday periods. Premium petrol is typically 30 to 40 per cent more expensive than regular. Prices are usually lower in cities and suburban areas, where there’s lots of competition, and highest on turnpikes, freeways and in rural areas (where the next petrol station may be 100 miles away). Unless you’re desperate, it’s best to avoid petrol stations that don’t display their prices. On suburban highways, the first and last stations may be the most expensive. Independent petrol stations are usually cheaper than those operated by large oil companies, although many oil companies provide stamps or tokens that can be exchanged for gifts. When motoring in rural areas, you should keep your tank topped up (and check your oil and water), as petrol stations are often few and far between, and may be closed on Sundays and holidays (many petrol stations are also closed in the evenings and at weekends). In some states, e.g. California, it’s an offence to run out of petrol, for which you can be fined, so it pays to pay attention to the fuel gauge. In many states, it is illegal to carry cans or other reserve supplies of petrol in the boot of your car due to the danger of explosion and fire if you’re struck from behind (rear-ended). If you wish to purchase a reserve supply of petrol, you must have a regulation steel petrol can (gas can), made specifically for the storage of petrol. These can be purchased at most petrol stations and automotive supply shops. Petrol (gas) stations have ‘full-serve’ or ‘self-serve’ (‘U-serve’) pumps, although it isn’t always easy to tell whether a station has self-serve pumps (except in New Jersey and Oregon, where there are none!). At full-serve pumps, the attendant checks your oil and cleans your windscreen free of charge and also checks your tyres and radiator water level if asked (it’s unnecessary to tip for these services). When buying petrol, make sure that the pump is reset to zero, particularly if an attendant is filling your car. It’s best to check your own oil level, as a garage attendant may ‘short stick’ the dipper so that it doesn’t register. These services aren’t available at self-serve pumps, but the price of petrol may be slightly lower. At many petrol stations, you must pay before filling your car, particularly at 24-hour and late night stations (common in cities). You pay the clerk and collect any change after filling your car. Some self-serve stations are simply old stations (with old equipment) where the owner has decided to dispense with full-serve. They aren’t equipped with automatic pumps informing the cashier how much you owe, and the attendant must take your word for how much petrol you’ve used or check the pump himself (thus defeating the object of self-serve stations). When filling your own car, check the instructions. Usually, you insert the pump in your tank and push it down to lock it into position, then pull up the base of the pump holder to signal to the attendant that you’re ready. Take care not to splash yourself with petrol. It may come out faster than you expect or the automatic cut-off device may not function properly (particularly with old pumps). US petrol stations (particularly those in rural areas) tend to be far more dilapidated than their counterparts in Europe. Some petrol stations accept only cash, others only credit cards, and some stations may make a surcharge of a few cents per gallon for credit card payments (‘discount for cash’). Most garages also accept dollar travellers’ cheques. Major oil companies issue ‘credit’ cards to pay for petrol, servicing and spares at petrol and service stations (application forms are available from service stations). Although generally called credit cards, most oil companies’ cards are charge cards, with the monthly balance due in full at the end of each month, although a few companies allow you to pay off the balance over a period. Most petrol stations have toilets (restrooms), sometimes located outside the main building, when it may be necessary to ask an attendant for the key (cleanliness varies). Some petrol stations also sell confectionery (candy), hot and cold drinks (usually from vending machines), motoring accessories, newspapers, household goods and various other items. Oil is normally sold by the quart, equivalent to 0.9 litres or 1.6 ‘imperial’ pints, and is less expensive from discount shops. This article is an extract from Living and Working in America.

High-rise buildings may suffer severe damage or even collapse when subjected to excessive vibrations during earthquake excitations. Suppressing seismic induced vibrations is of great significance to ensure the safety of these high-rise structures. Many vibration control techniques have been proposed in the past decades, but certain inherent limitations exist in these methods. Recent investigations in the field of solid-state physics have revealed that periodic structures, termed elastic metamaterials, can be used to manipulate the propagation patterns of acoustic/elastic waves. Waves are not able to propagate through the periodic structure when the frequencies of input waves fall within the bandgaps of the structure. This special characteristic has motivated researchers to develop meta-based techniques for structural vibration control. On the other hand, floating floor structure (FFS), in which the floor is isolated from the supporting beam, has been used to control the vibrations of buildings. Inspired by the periodic theory and FFS, in the present study, the conventional underground basement of high-rise building is modified to form a locally resonant meta-basement to block the propagation of seismic waves for mitigation of building vibrations during earthquake excitations. Firstly, the formation of bandgap of the proposed method is demonstrated through analytical study on the infinite number of unit cells and finite element modelling on the finite number of meta-basement. The influences of three key parameters of the meta-basement, i.e., the connecting spring stiffness, the number of meta-basement levels, and the parking ratio on the bandgap characteristics are then examined. Two design strategies of the meta-basement with the capability of reducing the seismic wave energy at frequencies corresponding to the vibration frequencies of the super-structure or reducing the seismic wave energy at its dominant frequency contents are proposed. Numerical simulations are carried out in both the frequency and time domains to evaluate the control effectiveness of the two design strategies on an example building structure. Results show that the proposed meta-basement can reduce the seismic responses of high-rise buildings and designing the meta-basement to mitigate the transmission of seismic wave energy at vibration frequencies of the super-structure is more effective to reduce building vibrations. - High-rise building - Two design strategies - Vibration control ASJC Scopus subject areas - Civil and Structural Engineering

When you watch a large machine cut through steel it commands awe, doesn't it (if not some fear as well)? Well, my how far we have come with technology - giving us this amazing thing that can cut steel like butte. This technology allows us to produce many types of products using steel from cars, airplanes and buildings. Steel cutting pertains to the production of steel where raw materials are cut into certain shapes which all is important for this process. Previously, this would have been a long and manual process. Thanks to this innovation in precision steel cutting, the annoying process has become quick and painless. The game changing contraption is driven by a high-tech computer program that generates cutting patterns and directs the movements of the machine. The steel plates are placed on the bed of a Jiangyin Metallurgy cutting pipe machine with the cutting head, controlled by computer program which moves back and forth across the length of plate. Via a laser, the cutting head cuts through the steel with perfect precision. Traditional steel cutting methods do not compare to this revolutionary technology. One of the most impressive refinements is an almost surgical level precision on some cuts (which can literally slice through steel plates). Plus, the process itself is far faster than legacy processes, increasing total efficiency. It is an advanced technology that allows you to understand the science behind steel cutting. This is because the device in this machine makes sure that they can do very complex shapes and designs without any problems, assisted by fast cutting of a large number steel products at once - compared to how long it would take hand workers. Additionally, the machine is built with operator safety in mind allowing workers to perform tasks without fear of injury. The complex cutting technology consists of several changing heads that offer different machining dimensions according to the thickness of steel being cut. This versatility of Jiangyin Metallurgy pipe cutting machine adds a measure of flexibility to the manufacturing process and makes it possible for any number of types and grades of steel products to be produced. This Steel Cutting machine is used as a part of almost all industries whether it may automotive, aerospace or construction. This type of lasers is the fundamental tool for enterprises that need to cut steel plates with huge amounts and thicker plate sizes in swift, accurate way. This advanced technology has made steel cutting more accessible and reliable than ever. In the past, it was a slow and laborious process.

Long distance phone service has been restored to four Western Alaska communities after being knocked out for most of last week. Due to a power outage and a faulty piece of system equipment, Marshall, Mountain Village, Russian Mission, and St. Mary’s were without wireless, internet, or long distance service for three days. According to GCI’s senior director of corporate communications, Heather Handyside, services were up and running again on Saturday, once repairs were made to the faulty equipment. Without getting into the specifics, Handyside stated that the whole GCI network is interconnected, and if one part of the system fails, then it could ultimately affect the entire network. In addition to affecting residents’ ability to make phone calls out, lack of internet services also prevented credit card machines from working in the four communities. One concerned citizen reported that a Ravn Air flight was grounded in St. Mary’s for an unknown amount of time due to the outages. Eventually, GCI had to charter a plane to St. Mary’s to deliver new equipment, along with further resources flown out from Bethel, in order to fix the service issue. Handyside says GCI’s infrastructure in rural communities normally has backups installed for these types of power outages, but depending on the source of the outage, sometimes the backups just don’t work.

Ketosource do now make a 100% coconut oil based version for people looking to avoid palm oil. Both oils are good for getting pure Caprlyic acid extraction, therefore apart from the possible ethical reasons there would be very little difference in terms of ketone levels. Ketosource MCT Oil Boosts Ketones, but what are Ketones? We talk a lot about how C8 MCT Oils such as KetoSource MCT Oil. Ketones an alternative fuel source for the body to use instead of Glucose. Glucose is made form Glycogen which is stored in the cells and muscles. When you are in Ketosis your body tends to use up the Glycogen then your liver starts breaking down fat in the body and turn it into ketones. This change in fuel takes some doing, but when you take a high Caprylic acid MCT oil, the body can not store this type of fat in the cells, and the liver needs to kick in and create ketones from in. This kick in of the liver is forced by taking an MCT Oil such as the KetoSource, once your liver makes the switch to making ketones means you are in Ketosis. So to put it simply taking a MCT Oil such as the Ketosource C8 MCT Oil, it puts you into ketosis and you are in the fat burning state! We review the KetoSource C8 MCT oil here. We were lucky enough to receive some Ketosource MCT C8 Oil from a friend to review who runs a Keto-Supplements UK Based store and they had bought a few items to review so we will be writing a Ketosource Pure C8 MCT Oil review for here and the Keto Supplements UK Website. We have been using MCT oil on our own Keto diet for a number of years and mainly have used Olimp MCT oil due to the price. But when we received the bottle we started looking into C8 MCT Oil and also read about it on Dave Aspreys Bulletproof blog. We have used this MCT oil with our Upgraded Collagen Review as well but only in the Bulletproof coffee part. Ketosource MCT Oil Review I had the chance to try Ketosource, a C8 MCT oil (caprylic acid) that if not extracted with hexane. It is said to be a premium MCT oil that you can use for ketone production or just general use. Did Ketosource MCT Oil help you as it has helped me? I started taking Ketosource MCT Oil and the results were truly amazing. It helped me get rid of my belly fat and also improve my level of stamina in the gym. The most amazing thing about Ketosource MCT Oil is that I could feel a lot of suppressed appetite in me. This was what made me lose weight without having any issues. So, my advice is that you must give this supplement a try at least once to see how it works for you. We have been replacing our Olimp MCT Oil with the Ketosource MCT oil in our morning Bulletproof Coffee and we have to say we off the bat are amazed at the difference. Its hard to say what the Caprylic acid increase does for the flavour of the coffee as once you add in the coconut oil and grass fed butter there is little perceivable difference in flavour of the coffee. We are also on the Keto Diet while doing the review and will be measuring our body weight and body fat percentage on the Renpho Digital Scales we have in the office. Male age 40 years old, starting weight 14st 2lbs, height 6.1ft body-fat 18.5%. I started my first morning swapping out the MCT oil we have in the office with the Ketosource Pure C8 MCT oil and as was said before there seems to be no difference in flavour once I added in the Collagen, Butter and Coconut oil to the MCT oil coffee. I noticed the difference almost immediately in terms of how alert I was after drinking the coffee. This alertness lasted all morning with my work output and focus being pretty tip top. I love the feeling of total focus and this put me in the mood for some hard work. I also did not feel hungry until my eating slot of 2pm and normally I am counting down the minutes until 2pm. I ate an avocado, bacon and cheese salad and drizzled some more of the MCT oil onto the salad with some lemon juice as a dressing. This was the proof I needed that I was not imagining the improved focus from the morning as I felt a jolt of energy after eating and was on it for the rest of the day. This is still early in the review process and I will be adding more details to the review in a few days with any weight and body fat percentage changes. Having been taking this MCT oil daily for just over a month, I have in that time lost around a stone in weight and feel really good. I cannot say that the MCT oil itself had a lot to do with the weight loss but its part of wider keto diet that I have been following. I tend to have a Keto Coffee / Bullet proof coffee in the morning then fast until 2pm meaning that the only calories I have in that time is from the MCT Oil.

Further information is also available at the end of this page. Differences between Orthoses and Bandages Our range of orthoses and bandages includes pre-fabricated splints as well as protective, supportive, and gentle garments and orthoses for various body parts. In addition to bandages for the extremities, there are also support bandages for shoulders, torso, neck, and special bandage shoes. Most bandages and orthoses in our online shop are available in different sizes and colors. Orthoses are sometimes also called splints. There is a distinction between paralysis orthoses and relief orthoses. They are made of soft, elastic, and stabilizing materials. Plastics or metals provide the necessary stability. This allows for targeted limitation of movement or ensuring joint alignment. Orthoses are more complex in design and consist of firmer materials that can be customized to fit the body. An orthosis is usually more rigid than a bandage and non-elastic, restricting freedom of movement or immobilizing joints completely. Unlike a prosthesis that replaces a body part, an orthosis only stabilizes and helps prevent deformities after injuries. How do Orthoses Work? The functioning can best be explained using a wrist orthosis. In this case, a splint is placed in the palm of the hand, providing the necessary stability and neutral position of the hand. This ensures proper blood circulation and promotes the healing process. Orthoses are often used after sprains, such as in the area of the wrist. Conveniently, orthoses can be temporarily removed for washing or for showering. There are also different orthoses available for various body regions and applications, including: - wrist orthosis - lumbar orthosis - thumb orthosis - ankle orthosis - lower leg orthosis - trunk orthosis - finger orthosis - elbow orthosis - back orthosis They are primarily used in the affected body region for injuries. Common sports injuries where orthoses are used include ACL tears, ankle ligament injuries, or Achilles tendon rupture. They are also used for therapeutic treatment of scoliosis, arthritis, or osteoporosis. They aid in stabilization. Order the appropriate orthosis now! What are Bandages? Anatomically shaped support bandages, on the other hand, adapt optimally to the respective body part and offer high wearing comfort. They provide joint support, relieve ligaments, correct movements, and at the same time, allow for maximum freedom of movement and mobility, even with injuries or pre-existing conditions. They help in the rehabilitation of injuries through the massaging effect. Various Types of Bandages Bandages are made of soft, breathable fabrics. Due to the elasticity of the compression knit, they provide support and stability, while also massaging the joint with every movement, stimulating blood circulation and promoting healing. They fit snugly on the affected body part and feel comfortable on the skin. Moreover, they do not restrict mobility. Overview of various bandages: - ankle bandage - elbow bandage - back support bandages and back bandage - ankle brace Bandages for the Limbs The assortment includes, for example, bandages for joints in the arms and knees, for wrists and fingers, or back and shoulder. The tendons and joints in the arms and legs are often subjected to significant stress, which can lead to discomfort, chronic pain, or injuries. The offered bandages are suitable for supporting an affected joint, such as after a stroke, in cases of arthritis, or tennis elbow, or for immobilizing it after surgery. Bandages made of flexible synthetic fabrics or rigid plastic splints can be chosen. Foot Bandages, Special Shoes & Socks Sports, strenuous physical work, or age-related wear and tear can lead to irritation or injuries to the tendons and joints of the feet. Special foot bandages made of breathable materials support foot joints such as ankle or Achilles tendon and can be worn during sports activities and therapeutic measures. A classic example is the use of ankle bandages after sports injuries. Special surgical shoes, lower leg splints, and orthoses can immobilize the ankle or the entire foot after surgical interventions. These comfortably padded foot bandages and special shoes are partially removable, extremely lightweight, stable, and more comfortable to wear than, for example, plaster casts. Back, Shoulder & Neck Bandages Support bandages for various areas of the spine as well as for the shoulder area promote a healthy body posture. They are suitable for stabilizing the affected body region or immobilizing it completely. Bandages for the back, neck, or shoulders offer a comfortable alternative to rigid plaster casts as they are lighter and more flexible. Many bandages can be individually adjusted to the wearer.

As the leader in flooring, Mannington has put together a guide that details everything you need to know about the laminate flooring options on the market. From an overview on the different options available, to benefits, misconceptions and cleaning tips, take the confusion out of floor shopping by reading this handy guide. Laminate Flooring Options Laminate flooring is offered in a variety of colors, textures, and styles. It is one of the most affordable and versatile types of flooring for homes and commercial spaces, as it is designed to emulate the appearance of real wood, tile, or stone with vastly superior performance benefits. Laminate floors can come in styles such as: - Handscraped & Rustic – Expensive treatments in hardwood simulated in laminate - Reclaimed – Another hardwood lookalike with a lighter, more natural feel. - Weathered & Distressed – Yet another hardwood look works perfectly with the farmhouse style of décor. - Marquetry – This visual uses an inlaid pattern to form an intricate design. Chevron is a popular marquetry look today. Laminate Floor Layouts & Patterns The way laminate flooring is installed can completely alter the way it looks and feels in a space. There are a variety of arrangements laminate can be installed, including: - Wide Planks – This style of laminate is great for larger areas. Because of the width of the planks, the installation is fast and easy and the visual fills large spaces - Mixed Width – Planks in varying widths or planks that have a mixed width appearance make for a uniquely rustic laminate floor. - Diagonal – Traditional laminate planks are laid out diagonally to create visual interest and depth in a space. Benefits of Laminate Floors Laminate floors offer a variety of benefits, including: - Waterproof. Not all laminate flooring is waterproof, but Mannington’s Restoration Collection® laminate floors feature our SpillShield® Waterproof Surface Warranty.There’s no need to worry about spills, melting ice cubes, water dripping dogs and more which makes it great for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements and mudrooms. - Affordability. Laminate can provide you with the look of hardwood or tile at a fraction of the cost. - Superior indoor air quality. This is a very important topic for homeowners and all Mannington laminate is FloorScore® certified for superior indoor air quality.Laminate also does not trap dirt, dust, or allergens, making it perfect for homes where this is a concern. - Low-Maintenance. Laminate provides you with the appearance of hardwood without having to re-stain or re-finish the floor. Plus, it’s easier to keep clean than carpeting or tiled floors. - Extremely durable. Laminate floors provide you with up to 5x more scratch resistance than hardwood. - Variety. If you’re looking for flooring that’s going to help your home stand out from the others in your neighborhood, laminate can help! With so many colors and styles to choose from, it’s easy to amplify your home décor with flooring. - Made in USA. Mannington laminate floors are proudly made in the USA. - NALFA Certified – Mannington Laminate floors must pass a rigorous 11 point test to certify to the North American Laminate Flooring Association standards.Not all laminate can do this! *When looking for a laminate floor, be sure to do your research especially around these topics. Mannington offers floors with these attributes, but not every flooring manufacturer does. Cleaning Your Laminate Floors Laminate is one of the easiest floors to clean and maintain. Sweep, dust, or vacuum regularly and periodically clean with products designed specifically for laminate surfaces. Avoid using soap or detergents mixed with water, as these can cause the laminate to swell or bubble. Never use abrasive materials like steel wool on laminate, as they can scratch the surface. When spills occur, use a damp cloth to blot them up as quickly as possible. Always avoid leaving liquids standing on your laminate floors. Misconceptions About Laminate Flooring Laminate has quite a few misconceptions around it. Read below as we help clear up some of the most common myths associated with laminate flooring: - Laminate damages easily. This may have been true of laminate floors in the past, but today laminate is constructed with thick, durable layers that are resistant to everyday wear and tear, from high heeled shoes to pet claws and children's toys. Be mindful that not all laminate options are created equal – it’s important to look for quality. Mannington offers is extremely durable laminate that is resistant to stains, moisture, scratches, and general wear and tear. - Laminate is expensive. Laminate is one of the most affordable options on the market, especially when it's compared to the costs of installing carpet, tile, and hardwood. - Laminate looks cheap. Laminate floors today take on incredibly realistic wood and tile visuals and are far from cheap looking. In fact, it can be difficult to tell the difference between real hardwood and laminate. Did you know? Mannington’s award-winning Restoration Collection® laminate floors are created by an in-house styling team, giving Mannington some of the most realistic designs on the market today. - Laminate is another word for luxury vinyl. Many people think that LVT and laminate are the same, but they are constructed very differently. LVT has a vinyl core while laminate has a wood-fiber core, which causes them to react differently to moisture. Laminate Floor Installation To prepare for a flooring installation, any furniture or appliances will need to be removed from the area. Then, the current flooring and trim will be removed, along with any hardware that's present. In some cases, the subfloor may also require preparation. If your subfloor is concrete, it needs to be clean and dry to apply new laminate flooring. Any holes or cracks present need to be repaired, as well as any high spots or bumps. If your subfloor is linoleum or vinyl and in good condition, laminate can be applied on top of it. If the subfloor is worn, a coat of leveler may be necessary. If you’re installing the flooring yourself, be sure to seek installation instructions or DIY videos from the flooring manufacturer.
Unveiling the Captivating World of Decorative Concrete As a concrete enthusiast, I’ve always been fascinated by the endless possibilities that this versatile material presents. From the sleek, modern finishes that adorn high-rise buildings to the intricate patterns that grace the floors of grand foyers, concrete has the power to transform any space into a work of art. But it’s in the realm of decorative concrete that I find myself truly captivated, where the art of the pour reigns supreme. Evoking Emotions through Texture and Color The process of creating a decorative concrete surface is not merely a practical one, but an artistic endeavor that has the power to elicit emotions and set the tone for an entire space. Whether it’s the smooth, reflective sheen of a polished floor or the rugged, natural texture of a stamped patio, each decorative technique speaks a unique visual language. And with the endless palette of colors at our disposal, the possibilities for creative expression are truly limitless. Mastering the Art of the Pour At the heart of every captivating decorative concrete project lies the art of the pour. This intricate dance between the concrete mixture, the tools, and the skilled hands of the artisan is where the magic truly happens. It’s a process that requires precision, patience, and a keen eye for detail, as the concrete is carefully poured, smoothed, and shaped to create the desired effect. Unlocking the Secrets of Decorative Techniques But the art of the pour is just the beginning. As I delve deeper into the world of decorative concrete, I’m constantly in awe of the myriad of techniques that can be employed to elevate a simple slab of concrete into a stunning work of art. From the intricate patterns of stamped concrete to the mesmerizing swirls of acid-stained finishes, each technique offers a unique way to add depth, texture, and visual interest to a space. Embracing the Unexpected And it’s not just the techniques themselves that captivate me, but the way in which they can be combined and reimagined to create truly unexpected and innovative designs. I’ve seen projects where the seemingly rigid lines of a stencil-patterned floor give way to the organic, flowing forms of a hand-troweled surface, resulting in a harmonious blend of structure and fluidity. Honoring the Craft, Elevating the Artistry As I continue to explore the world of decorative concrete, I’m struck by the sheer artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every project. It’s a discipline that requires not just technical skill, but a deep understanding of materials, an eye for design, and a willingness to experiment and take risks. In many ways, it’s akin to the masterful work of a Cartier artisan, where traditional techniques are honored and new ones are continuously developed to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Bringing Visions to Life, One Pour at a Time And that’s the true power of decorative concrete – the ability to transform a simple, functional material into a canvas for artistic expression. Whether it’s a bold, vibrant mural that commands attention or a subtle, understated pattern that invites the eye to linger, the art of the pour has the power to bring our visions to life, one captivating surface at a time. So as I continue on my journey of exploring the wonders of decorative concrete, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and wonder at the endless possibilities that lie ahead. From the smooth, mirror-like finishes of polished floors to the intricate, hand-troweled patterns that grace outdoor patios, the art of the pour is a testament to the transformative power of this remarkable material. Embracing the Future, Honoring the Past And as I look to the future, I can’t help but be inspired by the rich history and tradition that underpins the art of decorative concrete. Just as Cartier has sought to preserve and revive the ancient techniques of metier d’art, so too have the dedicated artisans of the concrete world worked tirelessly to honor the craftsmanship of the past while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Collaborating to Create Masterpieces It’s a journey that I’m thrilled to be a part of, and one that I know will continue to be filled with surprises and delights. Whether it’s collaborating with talented designers to bring their visions to life or experimenting with new techniques and materials, the art of the pour is a constant source of inspiration and joy. And as I look ahead, I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this captivating medium – the possibilities are truly endless. So if you’re ready to embark on your own decorative concrete journey, I encourage you to explore the endless possibilities that this remarkable material has to offer. From the smooth, seamless surfaces of polished floors to the intricate, hand-troweled patterns that grace outdoor living spaces, the art of the pour is a true testament to the power of creativity and innovation. And who knows – maybe your next project will be the one that truly captures the magic of decorative concrete, inspiring generations to come. After all, when it comes to the art of the pour, the possibilities are as limitless as our imagination. So let’s dive in, embrace the unexpected, and see where this captivating journey takes us.

Part of Jefferson County and the Denver–Aurora-Lakewood Metropolitan Statistical Area, the city of Lakewood sits just outside Morrison and about 10 miles outside Golden. Together, the (14) carports cover 102,800 square feet of space, and they are comprised of premium-quality U.S. domestic steel. They also boast G90 galvanized secondary framing and angles, and they vary in size, with (7) standing 38’x115’’x10.5’/13.82, (4) standing 38’x260’x10.5’/13.82, (2) standing 38’x380’x10.5’/13.82 and (1) standing 38’x101’x10.5’/13.82. All (14) carports feature 22-gauge Galvalume metal roofing panels overhead, and they also boast T-frame designs that utilize only one post at the rigid frames, maximizing the size of the parking spaces. Sunward also supplied (7) smaller shaded structures that cover the solar panels’ exterior inverters and transformers and (8) differing entry frames that provide additional support for signage. With the addition of the solar panel-adorned steel carports, the DFC completed yet another step in its continuing sustainability effort, which collectively delivers enough energy throughout the campus to power 1,064 residential homes for an entire year.

Water is one of the most important things in our homes, and for many generations, we have taken it for granted. However, with growing concerns about water infrastructure in the UK and a better understanding of hard and soft water, many people are now assessing their home’s water quality. If you’re concerned about the quality of water in your home, there are many steps you can take, from short-term fixes to longer-term solutions. Here are some of the most popular methods that you can use to improve the water quality in your home. Note that this is general advice for those looking to improve water quality and doesn’t account for more fundamental problems with your home, such as issues with pipes. If you are concerned about the safety of your water supply, we would recommend contacting a plumber or your local water authority. Run Taps for a Few Minutes Do you often notice how the water coming out of certain taps can be quite earthy? Or how the water tastes a little off first thing in the morning? Often, this is an issue with the water sitting in your pipes and becoming stale. It can be hard to notice if you’re unaware, but once you know what’s happening, the fix is really easy: simply run the taps for a bit. Allowing your problematic taps to run slowly for a few minutes before drinking or bathing can flush out the stale stuff, ensuring that you are drinking fresh water. Boil Your Water Similar to the point above, avoid drinking hot tap water if you’re worried about quality because this can be stale after being sat in a boiler system. Instead, if you need hot water, make sure you’re boiling. Boiling is an age-old way of purifying water for drinking as it can eliminate any harmful bacteria. Don’t boil it in a kettle; it’s recommended that the water is kept on a rolling boil for 1-3 minutes, so boiling in a saucepan or similar is the best method. Of course, this should only ever be a short-term solution – if you can’t drink your home water without boiling it, speak to a plumber. Filter Your Water If you have no major problems but want to improve the quality of your water for drinking or cooking, then a longer-term solution can be to use a water filter. Water filters can remove any impurities, such as bacteria, ensuring that you’re getting the purest water possible. There are countless water filter options available, from individual bottles with filters to sophisticated purification systems that connect to your pipes and deliver filtered water through your taps. If this is something you would be interested in, our K5 Pure Water Filtration Systems can help deliver on-demand ultra-pure water to your home. Our K5 Pure Ultra Water Filter takes out 99.9% of impurities, including bacteria and viruses, making it ideal for those seeking the highest standards in water purity. Soften Your Water Water filters are great for removing bacteria and viruses from your drinking water. However, if you’re concerned about the hardness of your water, getting a water softener might be the best solution. If you notice that your water leaves a chalky residue behind, it is probably a sign of hard water. Many areas of the UK, particularly in the south and east, experience hard water, which can lead to issues with taste and cleanliness. If you’re not sure, you can check water hardness in your area here. Water softeners remove hardness minerals from your water, making it soft. Using soft water throughout the home comes with a host of benefits, including reduced limescale, easier cleaning and softer skin. We offer a host of water-softening solutions that provide soft water to your home. If you’re interested in exploring any of our home water solutions, why not speak to our team and request a free quote today?

Does an increase in performance of 640% sound attractive? But how can you reach such a level? Those, who already use state-of-the-art production systems, will not achieve this thrust by just targeting for faster production cycles. For an increase of the overall efficiency, it is not sufficient setting on faster axes movements and machine cycles. The challenges are quite different. Large batch sizes are no longer reality for most companies. The customer always wants more individual products. Individualization does not only apply to the individual manufacturers, but more and more arrives in serial production. Unique product features increase the number of variants and reduce the batch sizes. Jobs are coming in smaller quantities. After having bent just some parts the machines need be setup for the job. The ratio between production time and set-up time is becoming increasingly unfavorable. The work steps ahead of production, on the other hand, remain the same. However, a much more frequent passage through the indirect processes leads to a remarkable increased effort. A larger number of parts need to be analyzed for feasibility, partially redesigned and approved by the customer. After all production and design aspects are clear, the variants must be calculated and offered. Once the order has been received, machine programs need to be generated and setup plans need to be written. This description makes it clear: The indirect processes cost increase significantly. The future goal therefore must be to optimize not only a single production step but the entire value chain. Mistakes need to be avoided even in a hectic environment and costs must be under control. If this target will be achieved, jobs with small batch sizes are worthwhile and profitable. The Bendex software imports the file format and programs the part with a single mouse click. If programming took 10 minutes before, the Bendex Office software creates a program in less than one minute, and in addition visualizes the bending sequence in a 3D simulation. The software algorithms used to create the bending programs implement the expertise of hundreds of programmers. This not only speeds up programming ten times, but also allows the use of the software already during product development and design. The simulation allows the designer to check the feasibility of his new components long before the first blank is produced … and it does not require special bending skills. Additional meetings and agreements between product design, industrial engineering and production are reduced by 75%. These extra speed in the upstream areas, paired with an efficient tool change and thus short set-up times, create the cost-efficiency leaps that companies are currently looking for.
