In a real breakthrough in the renewable energy sector, researchers at IIT Madras have created a device that can generate electricity from sea waves. The development might help India achieve its goal to deliver on its climate change targets by generating 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030.
Called the ‘Ocean Wave Energy Converter’ or Sindhuja-1, this device was deployed at a remote location 6 km off the coast of Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, and placed at a depth of 20 metres. The IIT-M team completed trials of this device in the second week of November, and now targets generating 1 MW of power from ocean waves in the next three years. The team is led by Professor Abdus Samad, the scientist behind the establishment of the Wave Energy and Fluids Engineering Laboratory at IIT Madras.
Professor Abdus Samad, a faculty of IIT Madras’ Department of Ocean Engineering, has been working for over a decade on wave energy. The group led by him created and put to the test a scaled-down model. The lab is also looking into other uses for this technology, such as providing power for smaller underwater gadgets like data buoys and navigational buoys.


I've been shooting Service Rifle for a little bit now, and I haven't paid too much attention to my ammo. I mostly shot inexpensive 55gr factory ammo that grouped around 3MOA.
Remington white box from the bench:
Georgia Arms from prone:
Earlier this year I got a 1:8 barrel, and some Sierra MK 69grs to go through it, but I haven't had a chance to try them out until recently. My first groups with the 69s were not any better than the 55s, about 2.5-3 MOA. After some reading, I decided to sort my brass by headstamp, load some rounds and head to the range. My first group with sorted brass:
Sierras in TW69 brass from the bench:
WTF? It turns out TW69 is really crappy brass made at the Twin Cities plant. During the time this brass was made, they were mostly concerned with productivity and not quality. Also, at least one of those shots on the right did not come from my rifle. Fortunately, I had also loaded some (mostly) once-fired R-P brass, and those fared much better.
Sierras in R-P brass from the bench:
You notice there are two distinct groups. One to the upper left with 6 shots, and one around the X with 4 shots (I think there's a double). When I got home, I weighted the R-P brass I hadn't loaded and found two distinct groups:
91| 1 1 3 3
92| 8 9
93| 0 0
key: 93| 0 = 93.0 grains
leaf unit: 0.1 grains
stem unit: 1.0 grains
What, you don't know how to read a Stem and Leaf Plot? Anyway, Some of that is once fired from the same lot, and some is range brass, but I can't tell which is which. My guess is that each kind groups pretty well, they just don't happen to group in the same place.
Now I've got my brass sorted into Lake City, Winchester, and 'Blaster.' I also weighted the Winchester and culled anything that wasn't within a grain of average. I'll let you know how they shoot when I get them loaded (daddy needs a case trimmer). Oh, and the Lapua brass should be here Saturday.

What Every Provider Should Know
Other Vaccination Considerations of Healthcare Workers
Other important considerations for healthcare workers include maintenance of complete immunization records, policies for catch-up vaccination of healthcare workers, work restrictions for susceptible employees who are exposed to vaccine-preventable diseases, and control of outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in healthcare settings. Additional vaccines not routinely recommended for healthcare workers in the U.S. may be indicated for those who travel to other regions of the world, such as medical volunteers in humanitarian efforts.
An immunization record should be maintained for eveyone, including healthcare worker. The record should reflect documented disease and vaccination histories as well as immunizing agents administered during employment. At each immunization encounter, the record should be updated and the healthcare worker encouraged to maintain the record.
Florida has a statewide, computerized immunization registry, the Florida SHOTS™ (State Health Online Tracking System), and vaccination records for County Health Department (CHD) clients are available (to authorized system users only) through a central database. The registry also includes immunization records from private physicians. Healthcare providers who are authorized registry users may access immunization records for any vaccine previously administered in the state, if entered in the Florida SHOTS™.
Catch-Up Vaccination Programs
Healthcare facility managers should consider implementing catch-up vaccination programs for healthcare workers who are already employed, in addition to policies to ensure newly-hired healthcare workers receive necessary vaccinations. This strategy will help prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Education enhances the success of many immunization programs. Reference materials should be available to assist in answering questions regarding the diseases and vaccines, and the program or policy being implemented. Conducting educational workshops or seminars several weeks before the initiation of the program may be necessary to ensure acceptance of program goals.
Work Restrictions for Susceptible Workers After Exposure
Postexposure work restrictions ranging from restriction of contact with high-risk patients to complete exclusion from duty are appropriate for healthcare workers who are not immune to certain vaccine-preventable diseases. Recommendations concerning work restrictions in these circumstances have been published*.
Hospitals and other healthcare facilities should develop comprehensive policies and protocols for management and control of outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. Outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases may be costly, disruptive and life threatening to certain patients. Outbreak prevention, is ensuring all healthcare workers are fully immunized, is the most successful and cost-effective control strategy. Disease-specific outbreak control measures are described in published recommendations and infection control references by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP)*.

The second issue of Dark Horse’s new Dragon Age miniseries, Knight Errant, arrives this week. Set in the world of the Dragon Age video game universe, KE follows the exploits of the squire Vaea as she accompanies the knight Ser Aaron from town to town. As it turns out, being a squire isn’t Vaea’s only occupation as she is also an accomplished thief, for which being a squire is a perfect cover. This issue sees Vaea trying to protect her identity, while revisiting the events that led to her current situation.
Writer: Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir
Artist: Fernando Heinz Furukawa
Publisher: Dark Horse Comics
Last issue wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything we haven’t seen before. There was the nimble Elf who happened to be a thief, and the blowhard knight who seems so self absorbed with his own heroic stories that he doesn’t even notice his squire’s double life. There also wasn’t much going on in terms of plot development, as this was the introductory issue and most of the time was spent setting the table. The ending showed another elf witnessing Vaea’s robbery and attempting to blackmail her in the name of the “Inquisition,” a name that will be familiar to those that played Bioware’s last Dragon Age game. You can’t set the bar too high for a number 1, as there is a limited amount of real estate to both establish characters and set them on their way, so I was curious if the second issue could step up its game.
It turns out issue #2 didn’t immediately pick up the thread at the end of the last issue, which turned out to be a good thing. Vaea outright refuses to go along with the blackmail, involving her breaking two Inquisition members out of a prison, and instead says she will take care of herself. A smart idea by the writers, as this gave them time to let Vaea’s character breathe a little bit. The rest of the comic jumps back and forth between the present day, as she desperately tries to get a drunk Ser Aaron to wake up so they can leave before she is apprehended for her burglary the night before, and to the past when she was a small child and her parents were killed for participating in a rebellion.
Vaea’s background is well established here and you can see the events that led to her current situation. It was also interesting that they showed how she became Ser Aaron’s squire, which revealed he may not be as full of hot air as he seems. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he that he’s not quite as ignorant of Vaea’s double life, but that’s just speculation at this point. The other half of the book, set in the present, provides plenty of action as the knight Vaea had made a deal with to commit the robbery for comes looking for his loot. During the fight the comic jumps back and forth between the past and the ongoing battle, showing similar situations, which added a nice touch.
I’m still not in love with the art, but the facial expressions didn’t look as weirdly comic as they did in a few panels last issue. Maybe it has more to do with the setting, but there weren’t any scenes that jumped out at me and made an impression. Perhaps when the action moves out of the city we’ll get some better backgrounds and landscapes. For now, the art is just average to me and doesn’t particularly stand out as a highlight.
Is It Good?
It’s better than issue number 1. Vaea seemed too familiar in the introductory issue, so going back to the events that set her on her path to both burglary and becoming a squire is interesting. The fight breathed some excitement into the latter half, which picked up the pacing and made me enjoy the book more as a whole. Hopefully this trend will continue with the next issue and throughout the rest of the series.

7/9/20 - This is a nice example of a wartime FN Browning High Power with WaA140 proofs on slide and frame. There's high point wear on the slide and frame, and a bit of finish loss on the bottom of the front strap. Also a couple of thin surface scratches on the right side of the pistol. All matching numbers throughout. The brown plastic grips are in very good condition aside from a small chip/crack in the upper corner of the right panel. Bore has strong rifling but a bit of frost and freckling throughout. An original holster with crisp waffenamt is included but the mag pouch was removed and the holster was cut.

NEW YORK CITY — Mayor Bill de Blasio will spend nearly $40 million each year in a comprehensive attack on opioid and other drug addictions, which killed approximately 1,300 people in 2016 —the most ever in the city’s history.
The program, HealingNYC, will “flood the streets” with the overdose reversal drug naloxone, boost treatment programs and invest further in the city’s mental health programs, officials said.
“The first obligation of government is to protect the health and safety of our people,” de Blasio said in a report on the program, which was announced Monday at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx.
The problem has been accelerated by a rise in cheap heroin laced with fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid that is six times more potent than heroin, “devastating lives in every kind of family in every borough,” the mayor said.
► There Were Four Times More Heroin Overdoses Than Murders Last Year: NYPD
► Staten Island's Fatal Overdoses Reached Record High Last Year, Data Shows
► Citywide Anti-Overdose Campaign Seeks to Promote Safe Use of Naloxone
In 2016, an estimated 1,300 people died of a drug overdose, with 80 percent of those deaths involving an opioid, officials said.
Now the city will spend $38 million each year in an effort to reduce overdose deaths by 35 percent over the next five years, officials said.
“We’ve lost 1,075 New Yorkers to an opioid overdose last year, which was much more than the year before," de Blasio said at the program's announcement. In 2015, 753 people died of an opioid overdose, he said.
"Each one of these was an individual, a person, a family was affected, and a huge number of people to lose. When you think about the fact that if we could only have reached them, we could have saved those lives."
The Department of Health will distribute more than 100,000 naloxone kits across the city, focusing on opioid treatment, detox and syringe exchange programs.
Naloxone is a nasal spray that can stop an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids on users.
DOH officials say they’ve received reports of more than 1,200 overdose reversals — saving lives nine times in the city’s shelter system, for example. And NYPD officers who used naloxone in 115 cases reversed overdoses 111 times, data shows.
► VIDEO: How to Use an Overdose Rescue Kit
Medication-assisted treatment, including methadone and buprenorphine access, will also be increased to help an additional 20,000 residents by 2022, officials said. These programs can help curb opioid cravings and allow people to work on their recovery while keeping their jobs and lives intact, the report said.
HealingNYC will also focus on early intervention and education, combining with ThriveNYC’s initiatives to increase mental health clinics in schools around the city.
The “Save a Life, Carry Naloxone” awareness program will also expand — working to both let people know where they can receive help and try to remove the “deep stigma” around addiction.

Pumpkin, a variety of winter squash, is a member of the gourd family and comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. The fruit grows on vines and is ready to be harvested in early autumn. Orange-skinned, round pumpkins are the most familiar varieties that fill the pumpkin patches. This variety is better for carving and decoration rather than eating. Pie pumpkins and sugar pumpkins are the best choices for cooking.
The smaller pumpkins are sweeter than the larger carving pumpkins. The flesh is mildly sweet. It gets softer, nuttier and caramelized when roasted. It’s similar in flavor to a sweet potato but with more pronounced squash notes.
Store whole pumpkins in a cool, dry, and dark place. Thoroughly wash and dry the pumpkin after bringing it home. Rather than placing pumpkins directly on cement in your garage or in your basement, place a piece of cardboard or wood underneath to avoid premature spoilage. Avoid picking up or carrying a pumpkin by its stem. In the case of the stem breaking off, the resulting exposed flesh may begin to rot. In general, you can store a pumpkin for one to three months. If you wanna learn more about how to store vegetables in your fresh, check out this article!
During the autumn months, pumpkins can be easily found at grocery stores. Procuring them from a pumpkin patch, a farmers market, a roadside produce stand or simply growing your own will result in the freshest pumpkins. Just be sure that the fruit stays on the vine as long as possible. When selecting pumpkins for cooking, look for small fruits between four and eight pounds that are blemish-free. There should not be any soft spots and the pumpkin should feel heavier than it looks.
Pick a day after the last frost to sow seeds directly in the ground. Each seed packet will list how long on average the plant needs to produce full-grown pumpkins (“Days for Maturity”). For example, Small Sugar Pumpkins need 100 days to reach maturity. If you wanted them to ripen about a week before Halloween, then plan on planting them in mid-July.
Getting the most out of your pumpkin leftovers
Whether it becomes a tasty snack or a creative project, your pumpkin can continue bringing you joy even after Halloween.
Consuming your pumpkin leftovers is probably the most enjoyable way to put them to good use.
Also, did you know that you can use pumpkin in your latte or espresso?
Halloween might be over, but it’s still fall and pumpkins make great additions to your home, garden, and holiday decorations. Keep the fall festivities going by using your pumpkin as a planter for a small potted plant. The planter will last for several weeks, and then you can plant it directly in your garden to decompose.

Lobbying Feds Could Result in up to $2.4 Billion for New York
BUFFALO- Senator Mark Grisanti (R-Buffalo) and Assemblyman Sam Hoyt (D-Buffalo) sent a letter to NYS DOT Commissioner Joan McDonald this week urging her to pursue $2.4 billion in federal funds that are available for high speed rail after Florida rejected the money.
Hoyt and Grisanti said in the letter: “The economic impact of a high speed rail connection from Buffalo to New York City would be tremendous, and the service would be expeditious, easy, environmentally friendly and energy efficient.”
Application for the additional high speed rail money will be due on April 4. The main selection criteria include the project’s ability to reduce energy consumption, improve the efficiency of a region’s overall transportation network, and generate sustained economic activity along the corridor.
”I hope that the New York State Department of Transportation will join me and Senator Grisanti in our lobbying efforts to secure these high speed rail funds for New York State,” Hoyt said. “Swift and bold action must be taken to show our interest and commitment to building a world-class high speed rail line connecting New York’s major cities. This state is ready and waiting for this boost in funding and I hope it is aggressively pursued by DOT officials.”

Here’s some information about a court that would prefer nothing at all be known about it: the FISA court, much in the news lately. From Alicia Howe at wnd.com:
WASHINGTON – It’s a mysterious court that hides behind a hulking vaulted door and impenetrable concrete walls – and it’s where the federal government makes some of its most secretive decisions concerning Americans’ basic liberties.
If you dare ask where the secret court is located, employees at the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse in Washington, D.C. – where the court reportedly relocated in 2009 – won’t tell you.
That’s because the super-secret court is far beyond the reach of any journalist or curious American citizen.
Fortified with biometric hand scanners, wooden and metal doors and walls reinforced by concrete, it’s the room where it all happens: Eleven powerful court judges approve wiretaps, data collection and government requests to monitor suspected terrorists, spies and even American citizens. And they’re given sweeping power under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.
In 2013, Eric Mill – a blogger and alum of the Sunlight Foundation, a nonprofit organization that advocates for government transparency – documented his efforts to learn more about the nation’s most secure and secretive courtroom.
Mill presents images of the mysterious Washington institution through illustrations because, he explained, “One of the first things that happens when you walk into the Prettyman Courthouse is they take away your phone.”
Employees at the courthouse reportedly “laughed at” Mill’s endeavor and referred to the FISA courtroom as the “Room of Requirement.”
They claimed they “had no idea what floor it was even on.”
Still, Mill wandered the long hallways and located what appeared to be a door to the FISA court.
“To the right of the door, next to the intercom and the small sign saying ‘Access Restricted,’ is a biometric hand scanner,” he wrote. “It’s (probably) a Schlage HandKey II, a device that quickly snapshots the three-dimensional bone and joint structure of the hand and matches it against previously registered snapshots.”

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. The theme this year is ‘Loneliness’ so one of our Trauma Ambassadors Rosie has shared her experiences of loneliness whilst going through domestic abuse.
“Loneliness affects so many people in such different ways however when going through domestic abuse, I felt so lonely. My personal experience was after I left the relationship. I felt like I was the only person going through this and no one understood.
People would say to me:
“Why didn’t you just leave?”
“Aren’t you embarrassed that you put up with that?”
“Don’t you think you should of stayed to avoid this?”
“Why didn’t you tell me you was going through this?”
When my property started the repossession route in September 2020, again I thought I was the only one that had experienced this. I felt like my life was over, I’d never be able to move out again and would be the only one out of my friends never being able to live a “normal” life. Little did I know that even though my property is still in the repossession stages and I’m still awaiting to be set free financially from him, that my life would change.
Sharing my story made me realise that so many people, people I didn’t even know, supported me and found me inspiring. That’s when I realised, actually I am not so lonely after all. To all the individuals going through domestic abuse, our stories are all different, but I have been there and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You will get through this.”

WHO: Antibiotics ‘overused and misused’ on farm animals
By Ruby GonzalezNews Antibiotics World Health Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) is urging farmers to stop the practice of using antibiotics on healthy animals for the purpose of promoting growth and preventing disease.
The new WHO recommendations aim to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics that are important for human medicine.
“Over-use and misuse of antibiotics in animals and humans is contributing to the rising threat of antibiotic resistance. Some types of bacteria that cause serious infections in humans have already developed resistance to most or all of the available treatments, and there are very few promising options in the research pipeline,” WHO said.
Instead, farmers must only use antibiotics on animals that require it, and not for growth enhancement and prevention of diseases, it said in the statement released on November 7.
WHO also commissioned a review and meta-analysis on the topic. The research summarized the effect of interventions in reducing antibiotic use in food-producing animals on the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in animals and in humans. It said reduction of antibiotic use in food-producing animals also reduced antibiotic-resistant bacteria in these animals by up to 39%.
It projected that by 2050, an estimated 10 million deaths per year globally will be attributable to antimicrobial resistance, with a cumulative economic cost of $100 trillion.

With the CIS/USPORTS, collegiate and high school basketball seasons officially over, its been clear that the city of Ottawa has reached it’s lowest point of excitement leaving basketball fans with nothing to rejoice over the past few months. The 2016 Ottawa senior and junior high school basketball all-stars gave the National Capital one last thing to cheer for, as they wrapped-up the 2015-2016 school season. Anticipation was running high for the 18th Annual All-Star game with fans from all over the city, including scouts and coaches showing support for their young stars.
It was clear at the beginning of the game that the senior All-Stars were caught in between trying to have fun and playing hard to impress the fans one last time. Due to practically everyone getting the same amount of minutes it was hard for most players to get into a solid groove as substitutions were happening frequently. Watching the players smile and laugh on the court was a clear indicator that most players were just trying to seize the moment and enjoy their presence at the All-Star Game.
Featuring a loaded roster bolstering the top players from both AAA and AA city champions including St. Patrick’s Irish trio Ryan Kabuya (6 points), Lock Lam (14 points) and Nathan Garcia as well as Ashbury Colts rising star LLoyd Pandi the East All-Stars were heavily favorite to win and opened-up the game playing with a lot of confidence by taking the ball to the rim at will and not shying away from contact.
As for the West, they were carried by the Merivale stardom of Ali Sow and Umed Hyder who scored the first 15 points for their respective team. The momentum Ali and Umed created helped pave the way for the rest of the West All-Stars as Franco-Ouest’s Jordi Miantezila brought what he brought to his Vikings squad all-year providing big rebounds, directing players and hitting some big shots. The crowd were stunned at the fact the West came out of the gates firing and knew they were in for a competitive game as the first quarter ended 24-24.
The rest of the show was stolen by Ali Sow, playing in his last high school game the 6’1″ guard went out with a bang, pouring in a game-high of 42 points, including seven three-pointers on his way to MVP honors for the West, Sow caught-up with BasketballBuzz after the game to discuss his memorable performance.
“It was a lot of fun, it’s an All-Star game people want to see shots go in and be competitive, I just wanted to go out there and play my game and finished with 42 and I’m feeling it too.” It was good to compete with all the great players in the city, its an honor.”
“I feel like I’m finally being reward for my hard work, I’m being recognized as one of the better players in the city.”
Despite Ali’s brilliant play; couple other players impacted the game as St. Patrick’s trio scored a combined total of 39 points and Garcia claiming Most Valuable Player game with a 19-point winning effort for the East.
St. Matthew Tigers and Phoenix basketball twin prodigies Shandon (12 points) and Quintin Ashitei (7 points) also played well combining for 19 points. Lloyd Pandi (13 points) and the rest of the cast also put up decent numbers that helped the East willed their way past the dominance of Ali Sow and the rest of the West All-Stars to claim the cities bragging rights with 91-86 win.
The Juniors also played a competitive game that went to overtime. The score finished 62-57 for the West led by the 11 points and a phenomenal dunk by Lual Akot who won MVP for the West and chatted with BasketballBuzz to discuss his MVP effort, future plans and basketball in the city of Ottawa after the game.
“I’m working hard this summer to improve my game and build confidence and be a better basketball player in the future. We have a lot of talent coming out of here, guys like Noah Kirkwood, Eddie Ekiyor and more, hopefully I will be next.”
The East was led by Kersaint Saint who had a game-high of 18 points and Aiden McMann who finished with 13. Saint discussed his MVP effort with BasketballBuzz.
“The game was very interesting and competitive, I felt like at the start we didn’t come-up with enough intensity on defense and we picked-it up and at the end it came down to fatigue and the West had better depth but we still had a chance to win and overall it was a great experience and great game”
The 2016 National Capital Senior and Junior All-Stars wrapped up yet another wonderful high school season in Ottawa, Ontario in entertaining fashion. Be on the look out Capital City as Ottawa is starting to develop many young talented basketball players who will soon start making their stamp all-over Canada and across the USA.

Be forewarned: these sweet and salty nuts are known to cause a complete lack of self-control. They will disappear at an alarming rate, leaving you slightly dazed and longing for more. I made them a few weeks ago as part of a Thanksgiving salad, and Nick and I ate half of them before they even made their way into said salad. I thought I would share as a stand-alone recipe because they are just that good.
They would be a festive treat to serve at any holiday soirees you may be hosting in the coming weeks. A large bowl of these nuts, along with some cheese, crackers and fruit, would make for a crowd-pleasing (and very easy) appetizer. If you are the homemade gift type (go you!), a large Weck jar of these nuts would make a lovely host gift, too. If you don’t eat them all first, they are also a lovely addition to salads.
All that is required in this recipe is dumping nuts into a bowl, mixing them with one egg white, sugar, spices and rosemary and baking in the oven. Feel free to alter the spices to your liking, particularly the cayenne. You could also swap sweet smoked paprika for the cayenne if you don’t want the heat. Be sure to cool the nuts completely to allow the coating to harden before transferring to a jar for storage. Enjoy! xo Maggie

Over 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the U.S. every year, and improper disposal is a human health and environmental crisis. Pesticide disposal in the United States is governed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the act that oversees the management of hazardous waste and non-hazardous solid waste.
Pesticide disposal is also regulated at the state level, so it’s essential to be familiar with local laws to know how to dispose of pesticides appropriately.
What Is a Pesticide?
A pesticide is a substance (either a chemical or biological agent) that is intended to control pests. Used to protect plants and crops, pesticides can include the following:
- Insect repellent
- Animal repellent
Sometimes, the aim of the pesticide is to kill or incapacitate the pest. In other cases, it serves as a repellent. In either case, the goal is to prevent or reduce damage to plants and crops and protect the gardener or farmer’s income.
How Pesticides are Approved
In the United States, liquid pesticides are regulated by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and must be licensed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can be distributed, sold, or used.
In order to license a new pesticide for use, the applicant must show that the pesticide “will not generally cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.” This includes an analysis of the benefits vs. risks to the environment and potential human dietary risks as laid out in section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Pesticide Waste Products
While pesticides are regulated by the FIFRA during use, the question of how to dispose of pesticides is governed by the RCRA as a type of toxic hazardous waste.
Of the pesticides that are currently licensed, some are not classed as hazardous materials, including products used in organic agriculture like kaolin clay, vitamin D3, and corn gluten.
However, most other types of pesticide wastes (both organic and commercial) must be treated in accordance with the RCRA’s hazardous waste management guidelines and discarded in hazardous waste facilities.
Proper Storage of Pesticides
Whether you’re storing pesticides for future use or saving them for future disposal, the National Pesticide Information Center has specific recommendations for pesticide storage:
- Store pesticides in their original containers. Never place them in food or beverage containers.
- Keep the original labeling intact for each pesticide container, clearly denoting the contents therein.
- Avoid storing pesticides in extreme temperatures. Pesticides should be stored on the property at temperatures between 40-90 °F.
- Store all contents in a safe, well-ventilated location reserved specifically for pesticides.
Additionally, never store more pesticides than you need. Try to keep only what you need for a given season or cycle.
Domestic Pesticide Disposal
For your average household user, knowing how to dispose of pesticides is essential for preventing groundwater contamination and soil contamination. Even a small amount of excess pesticide tipped down the drain, toilet, or sewer could cause significant damage to fish and wildlife.
Avoid Creating Waste When Possible
As a first practical step, the EPA recommends mixing up only small amounts of pesticide and using leftover pesticides on a subsequent application. If you still have pesticides left over, consider offering them to neighbors who may be dealing with a similar pest problem.
Check the Pesticide Label
If you still end up with unusable pesticides, check the product labels for proper disposal instructions. These instructions will generally be federal rather than state-based, so use them in conjunction with your local laws.
Contact Your Local Environmental Agency
In the United States, many states and districts offer their own household hazardous waste collection program or recycling program. The same authorities that offer these programs should also be able to advise you on the requirements for disposing of extra pesticides in your area and suggest your best disposal option.
To find your nearest solid waste agency and ask about state and local laws, start with an internet and phone book search for “solid waste,” “public works,” and “garbage collection” along with the name of your town or city. Other resources that might help you find a hazardous waste contractor or upcoming collection events include:
- Earth 911, telephone: 1-800-CLEANUP, website: www.earth911.com
- The EPA’s Land, Waste, and Cleanup Topics page
You can also try your state or local health department for additional information about the proper disposal of pesticide waste.
Commercial Pesticide Disposal
For commercial generators like farms and orchards that handle larger quantities, the process for how to dispose of pesticides is a little different from that of your average pesticide user. Firstly, it’s expected that growers will have pesticides to dispose of due to the large areas of land that they manage. Secondly, policy changes or a product recall might render a purchased pesticide unfit for use.
State Pesticide Disposal Programs
Household hazardous waste programs are generally not available to growers due to the larger amount of waste produced. Instead, most states offer commercial pesticide product disposal programs that are intended for growers and other commercial users—usually known as clean sweep sites.
To find out about your local waste pesticide collection program, do an internet search for “clean sweep” and the name of your state, or ask your local agricultural association. They should be able to give you information about collection dates, drop-off points, and anything else you need to know.
If you deal with a lot of pesticides classified as hazardous, it’s best to work with a waste management provider that specializes in commercial hazardous waste removal. These organizations can be industry-specific in cases of special waste. For instance, if you grow cannabis or hemp, you would want to work with a hazardous cannabis waste management provider that specializes in both hazardous waste (e.g. pesticides) and cannabis waste.
Sometimes, a pesticide will be recalled due to a problem with the batch or withdrawal of the product’s license. In this case, it’s your responsibility to return the product within the time set by the manufacturer, who will then deal with the final handling of the product.
If you don’t return the unused pesticide by the stipulated deadline, it then becomes your responsibility to dispose of the pesticide through your local clean sweep program and not to use the product in the meantime. As a precaution, it’s best to label the product clearly with “DO NOT USE” and store it in a secure, separate area.
Safe Disposal of Pesticides Benefits Everyone
While it may take a little time and research, finding out how to dispose of unwanted pesticides goes a long way toward creating a cleaner environment. Government agencies have worked hard to create programs that facilitate responsible disposal, and it’s now your responsibility to use the services that are already in place.
- When handling unused pesticides and other hazardous liquids, never pour them down the sink, toilet, drain, or onto the soil, as harmful pesticides could contaminate our waterways.
- Empty pesticide containers should also never be used due to the toxic pesticide residues present in the container. Instead, use rinse water to clean the containers and dispose of them through the same pesticide collection program that you use to dispose of unused pesticides.
- Keep the original container sealed and far from the reach of children and pets. Ensure that all pesticides are labeled correctly.
- Mix only the amount that you need for the job.
By following the proper procedures for unwanted pesticide products, we can reap the benefits of pesticides without causing undue harm. Locate the appropriate hazardous waste disposal programs that are offered in your area, and help to create a cleaner world.


Norðoyatunnilin (The Northern Isles Tunnel) is with 6,300 m the longest tunnel of the Faroe Islands. It connects the town of Leirvík on Eysturoy under the strait Leirvíksfjørður with the city of Klaksvík on Borðoy.
The Norðoyatunnilin is a road tunnel with two lanes and was finished in April 2006. The official opening was on the 19th of April 2006.
The specific plans for a tunnel to connect the island of Eysturoy and the island of Borðoy are not entirely new. In 1988 Landsverkfrøðingurin (the national engineer) carried out a number of seismic investigations in Leirvíksfjørður (the strait between the two islands). A year earlier, an engineer had drawn up an overall plan showing alternative sites for constructing tunnels. Further surveys in 1988 confirmed that the tunnel plans were considered to be economically viable. Fifteen years after the first surveys, work began on boring the tunnel between Eysturoy and Borðoy. The tunnel is 6.3 km long and goes down to a depth of 150 metres below sea level. The maximum gradient is about 6 per cent.

Dental X-rays use a small amount of radiation to capture a picture inside the mouth. This helps dentists and orthodontists find impacted teeth, bone abnormalities, cysts, solid growths (tumors) and infections.
A panoramic X-ray shows all your teeth in a single view. It can also help dentists spot abnormalities of the jaw and facial bones.
Like all dental X-rays, panoramic radiographs, or OPGs (for extraoral), use short blasts of low-level radiation to create images of structures inside the body. This allows dentists to see a complete view of the head, neck, and jaw, as well as how the teeth fit together as a whole. A patient simply rests their chin on a small shelf in front of the X-ray machine and bites softly on a sterile mouthpiece to keep their mouth and head steady for the examination.
Panoramic X-rays are useful for diagnosing a variety of dental problems. They reveal impacted or unerupted teeth and can also pick up cysts, tumors, or bone loss. They can also show how teeth have shifted since the last set of X-rays were taken.
One study analyzed 76 panoramic X-rays of orthodontic patients and found that incidental pathologic findings were detected on more than half of the scans. The most common finding was a widening of the periodontal ligament (PFL) at the apex of the molars. In addition, the study identified elongated or irregularly shaped teeth, unerupted teeth, and extra or missing teeth.
These findings can help orthodontists determine the best course of action for treating a patient, which might include braces, expanders, or other treatment. Moreover, these findings can also alert orthodontists to potential issues before they cause more serious problems.
The latest incarnations of panoramic X-rays, such as those offered by Midmark, come with autofocus features that can make these X-rays even more useful for orthodontists. Greenwood says this makes the X-rays more precise and improves their diagnostic capabilities. He also notes that these newer units are more efficient from an X-ray radiation perspective, as they emit significantly less than a full-mouth series or CBCT.
Getting your panoramic X-rays is just as easy as visiting your dentist for a regular exam. Unlike other types of X-rays, you don’t have to open your mouth for a panoramic X-ray, so the process is much quicker and more comfortable. Plus, panoramic X-rays are more cost-effective than other types of dental X-rays. That’s another big reason many orthodontists are making the switch to panoramic X-rays over bitewing X-rays.
X-rays are technology that uses radiation to create an image of the interior of your mouth. Hard tissues like bone and teeth block less radiation which causes them to appear lighter on the radiograph while softer structures like gums and cheeks will show up darker. Specially trained professionals can interpret these images and use them to diagnose and treat dental problems.
While x-rays are useful in diagnosing and detecting conditions like cavities, gingivitis and periodontal disease, orthodontists are more concerned about the position and shape of the jaw and teeth. This information helps them spot extra, missing or displaced teeth; long, short or misshapen roots; and the condition of the jawbone, which may indicate the need for surgery to correct an uneven bite.
In addition to identifying issues that are not visible to the naked eye, cephalometric X-rays can also be used to determine if there is enough room in the upper and lower jaw for wisdom teeth and dental implants. They can also help orthodontists detect bone abnormalities, assess impacted teeth and identify airway obstructions associated with sleep apnea, and help evaluate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
While a few patients express anxiety about X-rays and dental imaging in general, it’s important to remember that this technology is completely safe. Professionals adhere to the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle, which limits their exposure to radiation. Moreover, there are numerous benefits of this technology that outweigh any minor risks associated with it.
Dental impressions are a common preliminary step in developing many different dental appliances, from orthodontic appliances to crowns and dentures. They ensure that the appliance or prosthesis fits comfortably within the patient’s mouth and around their existing teeth and bite.
During the impression process, your dentist will dispense a putty-like impression material into plastic or metal trays that fit snugly against your teeth and surrounding tissue. After a minute or two, they will remove the trays and the impression material from your mouth. Then, they will send the impressions to a laboratory where a technician will pour plaster over them to create a mold of your teeth and oral structure.
While traditional impressions are a necessary process for creating dental appliances and restorations, digital impressions are increasingly becoming more popular. Using an intraoral scanner, this method allows the doctor to capture 3D renderings of a patient’s entire oral cavity, including their teeth and bite. Learn the cost for a 3d dental scan first before you try to decide anything.
Aside from being a more comfortable experience for the patient, digital impressions can also improve treatment planning. They allow the doctor to better visualize a patient’s oral anatomy and tooth alignment, which may help determine whether or not they require an appliance or restoration.
The first in-office digital impression system capable of full-arch intraoral scanning became available in 2008, and the technology has rapidly evolved since then. Today, several companies offer intraoral scanners that can be used to acquire 3D digital impressions for aligners and other fixed orthodontic appliances.
However, there are still some limitations with the accuracy of these types of digital impressions. In some cases, the model might not accurately replicate the shape of the teeth or gum line, which can lead to inaccurate reproductions and misfabricated appliances. Moreover, the impressions might be prone to air entrapment and distortions in places where there is a lot of soft tissue.
The best way to minimize this issue is by ensuring that the impressions are taken with an appropriate tray size and material, and that the soft tissues are effectively managed. For example, the use of retraction cords whenever necessary to expose preparation margins can prevent soft tissue from inadvertently getting into the impression.
A CBCT scan (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging modality that allows orthodontists to accurately visualize the maxillofacial structures. The scanner produces images using a cone-shaped beam of X-rays that are more precise than conventional panoramic or cephalometric radiographs. A CBCT scan is also significantly faster than a traditional CT, and is much less expensive to operate.
The CBCT can provide information not only on the teeth but also on the surrounding bone and soft tissues, including nerve pathways. This allows us to identify and diagnose any issues that might interfere with the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment, such as impacted third molars, missing teeth, or abnormal growth patterns. In addition, the CBCT can help orthodontists evaluate airways and assess potential sleep apnea.
CBCT has become the diagnostic imaging modality of choice in orthodontia, due to its rapid, low-dose scanning, high resolution and detail, undistorted measurements, and 3D volume rendering. In addition, CBCT can provide invaluable information about the anatomy of the sinuses and TMJ, which cannot be adequately evaluated with 2D imaging alone.
In comparison to a traditional 2D panoramic or cephalometric X-ray, a CBCT is far more useful in the diagnosis of peri-orthodontic conditions and in the treatment planning process. CBCT can detect and localize impacted or extra teeth, identify cysts or other jawbone anomalies, reveal asymmetric growth, and assess root foreshortening.
Ultimately, a CBCT scan can be used to guide the placement of orthodontic bands and wires, and also to monitor progress and outcome during the course of treatment. It is also important for evaluating patients with TMJ problems, such as atrophy of the condylar surfaces or osteoarthritis.
If you are scheduled for orthodontic treatment, your dentist will likely request a CBCT before starting the process. The machine will move in a circle around your head and take multiple pictures of the inside of your mouth for less than a minute. The process is painless and does not require sedation. CBCT images will allow your orthodontist to create an accurate digital model of your mouth, which is necessary for designing correctly fitting dental prosthetics.

The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently published new proposed rules governing leasing and rental rates for renewable energy projects on public lands. The new leasing rules adopt many of the Solar Energy Industries Association’s (SEIA) suggestions and will help to speed renewable energy deployment on public lands and put BLM’s renewable energy goals in reach.
“The new rules will reduce rents and fees for renewable energy projects through 2035 and eliminate duplicative payments for renewable energy developers, helping to lower overall project costs, says Ben Norris, senior director of regulatory affairs at SEIA. “The rules also extend lease terms for renewable projects to 50 years, include a new category for standalone storage and remove competitive leasing requirements in priority areas — all positive developments for the solar and storage industry. “Taken together, these new rules will create much needed business certainty and help to deliver more reliable and affordable clean energy to consumers,” Norris notes. “We commend BLM for working with the solar and storage industry and issuing thoughtful rules that will help us fight the climate crisis.”

After 2003 or so the engines are totally controlled by proprietary computer software and the only method outside factory help is to swap to a early manual fuel control. Easily done. The governed RPM and thus speed is very easily changed.
while power-adding can be a bit of its own slippery slope.. RPM raising can be an even more slippery slope.. while most of our bus engines may be able to spin faster than they do, doing so is often out of their optimum power band so you actually Lose power not gain it.. though you can gain a few MPH on top end just from too low of final drive ratio...
one of the things to think about is you are taking an engine that has for many years spun at its current top end RPM as the max.. over the years it will have most likely developed a "ring ridge" in the cylinders.. at the spot where the piston travelled the highest..
when you spin an engine up.. the weight of the piston can actually "stretch" the rod slightly and temporarily.. metal reacts to the forces applied and may flex..
for 150k or whatever miles it never spun over that top RPM.. the rod never will have stretched further.
now ad some RPM.. and suddenly your rod stretch is a little greater.. now you are attempting to run the piston up on said ridge... the rings are going to flex .. piston may stop a little faster than it did.. bearings may run in a slightly different position than they did previously etc..
all this sounds minuscule.. but could possibly shorten the life of said engine.. on a fresh rebuild, its much safer to turn up the RPM as all of the parts are fresh and will be broken in with the common Max RPM..
Upping the power is just as slippery of slope.. you can have bearings or other parts which could be weak.. however handled the oriignal power rating.. then you turn it up.. and thuings may wear out quicker or break..
the other thung is to make sure on these engines which were shared amongst Medium duty trucks and pickup trucks to make sure the hardware matches what you want to do... is the 5.9 that you want to make more power and spin faster (because joey down the street did it in his Dodge).. the same engine? or does it differ..

Drugs en bodybuilding, steroids use in bodybuilding
Drugs en bodybuilding
Here are some of those bodybuilder drugs that are being used: The first bodybuilding drug that is used by the majority of the bodybuilding world is Lasix. It's actually a drug known as diuretic/diuretic-dispense drug. It's made up of the amino acids l-serine and arginine, two amino acids that are naturally found in the body and make up all of the blood, drugs en bodybuilding. Lasix disposes of any excess water left over for extra energy in one hit, giving you a constant rush of energy with no side effects. One hit equals about a cup, steroids effects on the skin. This drug was once used by bodybuilders because it's a great addition to the liquid diet, steroids build muscle without working out. The problem is that it was removed from the market because the FDA and other regulatory bodies deemed the drug unsafe for human consumption. The main drug that is used is Dianabol. Dianabol is a protein synthetic drug, buy steroids from bulgaria online. Protein is manufactured by the liver and is broken down by the kidneys and other body body parts to be used for energy instead of the carbohydrates that are usually used, best bulking powder. When you take drugs, you either take a drug or you don't. When you start taking drugs, your body has to make them, which takes more time and energy than anything else, anabolic steroids effect on voice. This is also why the use of these bodybuilders drugs is usually temporary in nature. By taking them you're actually taking away any remaining time that you have to build muscle to build that extra pound or two that you want to get. The reason that these people are using these drugs is to gain muscle and they're doing it without even giving themselves the opportunity to build muscle, so their results will be mediocre, en drugs bodybuilding. However, if you use these drugs, your bodybuilding results will be great for a long period of time. This is why people that are using them do so for awhile, because they don't really know what they're doing. A lot of the benefits of Dianabol have to do with the fact that it increases levels of anandamide, a type of neurotransmitter, stenabolic vs ostarine. This neurotransmitter is very active when it's in the nucleus of the cells, so it acts like a stimulant to the cells. This has the main effect of increasing the muscle cells' work force and making the overall results more dramatic and more explosive, anabolic steroids effect on voice. It's important to note, however, that these bodybuilders drugs are often also abused, which is why they are called muscle builders drugs, otc steroids for muscle growth. Another drug used to build muscles is Testosterone. Testosterone is the active substance inside the body, and it acts as an anabolic hormone from the inside.
Steroids use in bodybuilding
Both prescription steroids and steroids that people use for bodybuilding can increase the odds that a person will develop acne. And when there are multiple drugs used by a person for acne, the odds of developing acne are higher. The other side effects of steroids include hair loss, kidney failure, muscle and bone problems, heart and kidney failure and, sometimes, cancer of the head and neck. A lot of the information on steroids comes from books published over the years by a very well-known gynecologist (and other doctor, too) called Dr, best anabolic steroids for gym. Peter Duesberg, best anabolic steroids for gym. He is best known for his book "The Steroid Solution," which has been adapted for the Internet so many people can get access to it. Duesberg is a real legend in his own words, and is considered one of the leading authorities on the subject. He's also a big advocate and promoter for female bodybuilders, npp vs tren. A lot of information about steroids has appeared in print, on television and in magazines over the years. But this is going to be the first in-depth study published in a scientific journal, anabolic steroids coming off. We wanted to get as close to a scientific study as is possible, as we thought we weren't going to be able to find anything if there weren't some. What do we know, anabolic masster отзывы? The first thing we wanted to know was what exactly is a steroid hormone? A steroid hormone is simply a protein that has been altered by the action of drugs known as anti-inflammatory agents (like cortisone or anabolic steroids), steroid transformation 3 months. When these medications are administered to humans, they don't really destroy the tissue within the body -- they only cause tissue destruction, cyponex 250. Steroids do that with these medications, and it is very specific, dbol steroid pills. There are several types of steroids, each having its own mechanism of action. The common term to describe steroids used in body building is anabolic steroids, which is used to describe steroids (along with its derivatives) that either destroy or reduce an existing biological protein or cause growth of that protein as a precursor, use bodybuilding in steroids. One of the first drugs to be described as an anabolic steroid was cortisone, so it should really come as no surprise that this is the drug of choice for bodybuilders and steroid users. It is also used by people recovering from surgeries, people who want the effects that they've gained from the surgery or those who have had an operation but wanted to return to what they had before, steroids use in bodybuilding.

The Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) is a unique undertaking for the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Delta) that began in 2006 (before the enactment of the Delta Reform Act of 2009). It is being developed as a 50-year habitat conservation plan with the goals of restoring the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem and securing California water supplies. The BDCP would secure California’s water supply by building new water delivery infrastructure and operating the system to improve the ecological health of the Delta. The BDCP also would restore or protect approximately 145,000 acres of habitat to address the Delta’s environmental challenges. The BDCP is made up of specific actions, called Conservation Measures, to improve the Delta ecosystem. The BDCP includes 22 conservation measures aimed at improving water operations, protecting water supplies and water quality, and restoring the Delta ecosystem within a stable regulatory framework.
As a conservation plan, the BDCP is being developed pursuant to California’s Natural Community Conservation Planning Act and the federal Endangered Species Act. It is also subject to environmental review under both the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
The BDCP is being prepared by a team of federal and state water experts, scientists, and public water agencies that has worked together for years on a way to address the Delta’s problems. To learn more about their efforts please visit the BDCP website by clicking here.
