I bet you must have watched a lot of YouTube videos and who dun nowadays. You must have seen a lot of people doing tour reviews, food reviews, funny videos and many many more.
Have you ever wondered why they are doing this? No doubt a portion of them are doing it for passion but a bug portion of them are doing it for money.
In this post, I will share with you how people make money from producing YouTube videos so that you can see if this method of passive income works for you or not.
For me, I have a YouTube channel and I have over a million views on all my videos and I make about $100 to $200 passive income from YouTube ads every month from it.
For those videos with a lot of views, these people can make thousands of dollars from YouTube alone.
So how does the whole system works?
1) YouTube Partner
Being a partner of YouTube, Creators can earn money from advertisements served on their videos and from YouTube Red subscribers watching their content.
Below is my son favorite YouTube channel Ryan Toy Review which consists of videos by a boy reviewing toys and I bet his parents are making a ton of money from him. His YouTube channel has 9.3 millions subscribers and one video has about 7.6 million viewers. His parents can easily rake in 5 figures every month from YouTube.
Therefore the more videos you have, the more money you will make.
2) Sponsored Video
For the video that I showed you above, the boy can do sponsored review videos for toy manufacturers. They will pay him certain amt of money to do a review for their toys.
I have read in a magazine of a blogger whose website has a lot of readers and one sponsor post cost about $5,000 to $10,000.
If you have a way to produce tons of videos, then you can opt for this passive income stream.

In choosing a supplier for any manufacturing materials there is a lot to consider beyond price. In fact, choosing a supplier based on price alone can end up being a very costly decision if the material quality is unacceptable, or the delivery dates are missed. Choosing a supplier for nonwovens is no different. Along with price, it is essential to consider things like material availability and quality, as well as the customer service and support you will receive.
Throughout the U.S., manufacturers of a wide range of nonwoven material products are discovering the advantages of choosing a domestic source for their nonwoven fabrics and trusting WPT Nonwovens as their nonwovens supplier. Boasting decades of experience, we’ve been producing American made, quality nonwovens, including blended nonwoven fabrics and virgin grade nonwoven fabrics. Serving the needs of both high and low volume customers, we are able to meet orders of any size cost-efficiently.
As your partner nonwovens supplier, we are invested in your success. From the products we produce to the service you receive, we are fully committed to providing quality and excellence. Our team always addresses customer concerns, closely monitors our quality and safety programs to reduce waste and improve efficiency, and provides our customers with consistent, competitive pricing.
As a family-owned business, we take pride in putting service first and making the nonwovens buying process easy. As your domestic nonwovens source located in the heart of the Midwest, we are happy to travel to customer sites as needed. Since we are a U.S. domestic source, we are able to offer an average four week time frame – from order placement to delivery – or six weeks on smaller orders, due to the demand from our large volume customers.
WPT Nonwovens is currently expanding with the opening of a new facility, which will include a state-of-the-art nonwoven production line and an additional 100,000,000 square meters of capacity for materials used in hygiene and filtration products.
Are you a US manufacturer in need of a dependable, full-service source for quality nonwovens? Contact WPT Nonwovens, your domestic source, to discuss how we may meet your nonwoven needs!

I agree with John Apostolakis here, G4Polycone is exactly the class to implement what you describe. You provide a list of ordered (r,z) points, which are exactly the (x,y) points from your drawing, including (0,0) and (0, z-max) at the ends to make it a closed volume. This surface between points will not be interpolated, but will consist of flat (conical) sections.
The computational effort, in particular the calculation of boundary crossings during tracking, scales with the number of control points. If the precise shape does not affect the outcome of your simulation, you make consider dropping some of the points between (2) and (17) to speed up the code.

During a Q&A on Twitter, J.K. Rowling made a surprising revelation about Rubeus Hagrid, one of the best-loved characters from the Harry Potter series. When a fan asked Rowling what form Hagrid’s Patronus would take – a great question, considering Hagrid’s unusual taste in pets – she replied: “Hagrid couldn’t produce a Patronus. It’s a very difficult spell.”
In both the books and the films, the Patronus charm is one of the most powerful defense spells a witch or wizard can cast to ward off Dementors, the dark creatures that feed off human happiness.
It’s one of the most complex spells in the wizarding world, and in order to conjure a Patronus, a wizard needs to draw upon his most powerful happy memory. The Charm conjures a magical guardian in the shape of the animal with whom the witch or wizard shares the greatest affinity.
Rowling’s response may point to the fact that the spell is simply too difficult for Hagrid, who was expelled from Hogwarts as a teenager, to perform. But fans were also worried that the lovable half-giant, abandoned by his mother as a child, may just not have enough happy memories to produce a Patronus. Oh, Hagrid!

A Man Without Culture is Like “A Tree Without Roots” will close this Thursday, February 21st at Makeda’s Ethiopian Restaurant in New Brunswick, NJ. Come out for a cultural affair with live jazz (starts at 730pm), good food, and talented and professional people. “A Tree Without Roots” demonstrates the idea of one’s own cultural knowledge being central to the livelihood and survival of people and their community. This exhibition surveys a wide spectrum of the African Diaspora showcasing works that explore concepts of aesthetics, value, politics, oppression, fear, and beauty through introspective exploration. Each piece is a portrait of the artist and/or community and culture they represent highlighting vastly different perspectives and intentions.
Local lyricist, MC Enigma, visually illustrates his reveries or past realities with paint rather than wordsmithing. This vivid interactive piece, My Worst Nightmare, engages the viewer by employing them to feed the figure by turning a scroll, which reveals a story living inside of him. Kenyan-born/Atlanta-based artist, Kennedy Waireri is inspired by the indigenous cultures he recalls from his hometown. It was not until he relocated to the United States was he motivated to recreate these images making them apart of our visual index too. The scarcity of traditional African cultural visuals and practices in everyday life experiences, especially in Black communities, was/is problematic for many, including Waireri, which he remedies through his work. In the “Clothing and Dress in South African Townships in the Post Apartheid Era” photography series, Shady and Lindeka explore and interrogate the sartorial landscape of impoverished communities to reveal traditional influences in economically oppressed and media saturated societies. The visual intensity of Nelson illustrates the adoration for a powerful civil rights leader and living legend. The emphasis on his lines tells stories and symbolizes the rough path he chose to see his people free. It is these lines like a tree’s roots that nourish and support the community towards progress and change.
A Tree Without Roots seeks to bring attention to our tendency to overlook our past while moving towards a future. In this technologically defined society, where one is able to create, erase and destroy with the click of a button we become dependent on a false reality to show and validate us in spite of what is already living inside. Our nourishment is in the roots of our community and the lines of our families that will lead us to a forever better today and tomorrow. Pick up a mirror and look inside to find your truth.

Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Chester County are celebrating National Pollinator Week, which runs through June 24, by creating a new pollinator-friendly garden at the Government Services Center, 601 Westtown Road in West Goshen. The garden will be used to demonstrate how home gardeners can attract butterflies, bees, birds and other pollinators to their gardens.
Five years ago the U.S. Senate unanimously approved the designation of the final week in June as 'National Pollinator Week' to focus attention on declining pollinators. Pollinator Week has now grown to be an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats and beetles
An estimated 1/3 of all foods and beverages are produced with the help of pollinators, and about 75% of all flowering plants need the help of animals or insects to move their pollen from plant to plant for fertilization. Foods and beverages produced with the help of pollinators include blueberries, chocolate, coffee, melons, peaches, pumpkins, vanilla, almonds, and most vegetables.
The Master Gardener pollinator demonstration garden is located at the top of the parking area near the Government Services building and can be visited at any time. Brochures are being created to identify the plantings and explain the importance of pollination for ornamental and edible plants.
Residents can also have their gardens certified as pollinator friendly by the Penn State Master Gardeners. To be certified, gardens must provide food and habitat for native insects and other animals. Once gardens are accepted for certification, applicants receive an official certificate and can obtain a sign that shows their commitment to helping the pollinators. More information on the program is available at: ento.psu.edu/pollinators/public-outreach/cert.
For more information about Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Chester County, please visit extension.psu.edu/chester. For gardening questions, contact the Master Gardener hotline at 610-696-3500 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

Radical prostatectomy can be performed by traditional open and minimally invasive approaches, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted. In recent years, there has been increased adoption, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) is widely used as a prior therapeutic procedure for prostate cancer patients. Compared with traditional open surgery, it has significant benefits, including reduced blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and reduced postoperative pain (1,2). But there are not sufficient research about the superiority of any surgical approach in terms of oncological outcomes. It is necessary to keep the patient in the extreme low head and high foot position (steep Trendelenburg position) with artificial pneumoperitoneum during the RALP to optimize the surgical field and operation. The artificial pneumoperitoneum is always associated with the increase of intraperitoneal pressure, which affects venous return, systemic vascular resistance, and cardiac function (3). At the beginning of pneumoperitoneum, the volume of circulating blood increases due to the autotransfusion of mixed blood from visceral circulation. However, with the further increase of intraperitoneal pressure, the inferior vena cava is compressed, and the venous return is reduced as well as the cardiac output. Also, the absorption of pneumoperitoneum gas (mostly carbon dioxide) leads to hypercapnia and a simultaneous decrease in blood pH. The increase in intraperitoneal pressure caused by artificial pneumoperitoneum also leads to the displacement of the diaphragm to the cephalic side of the patient, aggravated by the extreme head, low foot, high position and leads to the decrease of lung compliance and functional residual capacity. These factors eventually result in airway collapse, atelectasis, mismatch of ventilation-perfusion, and finally, a decrease in arterial oxygenation (4), which may, in turn, lead to a series of cardiopulmonary complications.
The decrease of venous reflux caused by high pneumoperitoneum pressure may not only result in a compromised cardiopulmonary function but also visceral function, including liver and kidney, through decreased perfusion. The increased pneumoperitoneum pressure and operation time resulted in ischemia and anoxia of visceral organs. The withdraw of pneumoperitoneum, which leads to re-perfusion injury, may also aggravate damage to hepatocytes (5). Several intraoperative ventilation strategies, as well as lower pneumoperitoneum pressure, were used to improve the oxygenation of patients and reduce the side effects brought by the extreme head-low-foot-high position (6,7). The procedure was improved to ameliorate further the side effects caused by the extreme position and abdominal pressure in RALP. Compared with the transperitoneal approach, the extraperitoneal approach results in less pressure on the abdominal wall, a smaller internal incision with less intestinal irritation. These factors lead to a faster postoperative intestinal recovery. Besides, the patient’s angle of retroversion is 10–15°, which is less than the 30° of the trans-abdominal approach. However, due to the more surgical field TP- RALP can offer, it remains the first choice at present (8,9).
This retrospective research was set out to evaluate the short-term outcome of patients with RALP under two approaches and to help the surgical team choose the appropriate approaches for vulnerable patients, especially those with hepatic or renal insufficiency. We present the following article in accordance with the STROBE reporting checklist (available at http://dx.doi.org/10.21037/gs-20-533).
Our study is a retrospective, single-center, controlled clinical study. The data of 176 prostate cancer patients who were treated at the urology department of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from 2015 to 2019 by an identical surgery team were collected. According to the surgery, the effects of different approaches of RALP on the function of visceral organs (liver and renal) were assessed by pre- and postoperative hepatic and renal function tests. The secondary endpoints include intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications (lymphatic leakage, bleeding, and infection), and short-term postoperative follow-up index [prostate-specific antigen (PSA)]. The entire process is described in the diagram below (Figure 1). The study was approved by The Ethics Committee of the Zhongshan hospital, Fudan University (No. B2019-199R) and written informed consent was obtained from all patients. The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
The patients that we included in our study met the following criteria: voluntary participation, confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer, robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, 18 to 80 years old, the three months follow-up of the surgery had been completed at least, and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II.
The exclusions were as follows: a turn to open surgery during operation; blood transfusion during the operation; serious complications occurring during and after the operation; those who refused to be involved or did not complete follow-up; have the history of hernia or intestinal obstruction; patients with hepatic and renal diseases are excluded.
A vertical 1.2 cm incision 3 cm inferior to the umbilicus was used to approach the extraperitoneal space. An incision was made into the anterior rectus sheath before the rectus muscle was split. The extraperitoneal space was opened by the insertion of the index finger in a caudal direction. Using an extraperitoneal balloon dilator was space was created before the introduction of a 12 mm trocar. Following an inspection of the extraperitoneal cavity, the first 8-mm robot trocar was placed on the right side under vision, about four fingers laterally and 2 cm lower to the supra-umbilical incision. A second 8-mm robot trocar was placed on the left side, in a similar position as the first. The placement of a third 8-mm robot trocar for the fourth robotic arm was at 1.5 cm, cranially to the left anterior iliac crest under vision. Finally, a 12 mm assistant trocar was placed under vision on the patient’s right side (8).
The steps of the operation included: incisions to the endopelvic fascia and separation of puboprostatic ligaments; paraurethral dissection of the bladder neck; the anterior opening of the bladder neck; using the fourth arm to catch the catheter, allowing for the prostate to be elevated; dissection of the posterior bladder neck; dissection of the vas and seminal vesicles; the opening of the Denonvillers fascia and separation of the neurovascular bundles; deep venous complex ligation free; apical dissection and disconnection of the prostate from the urethra; and ureterovesical anastomosis. Most of the time, pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) was conducted before the ureterovesical anastomosis. A drain was placed in the pelvic cavity, and the extraction of the specimen was conducted via the middle 12 mm port incision.
The transperitoneal approach
The patient was placed in the Trendelenburg position under general anesthesia with their legs apart. A vertical incision was made 2 cm above the umbilicus, and another vertical 1 cm incision was made to the anterior rectus sheet. A veress needle was used to induce pneumoperitoneum before the introduction of a 12-mm trocar. Following an inspection of the abdominal cavity, the first 8-mm robot trocar was placed under vision on the right side, about four fingers laterally to the supra-umbilical incision on the line joining the sub-umbilical incision and the right anterior iliac crest. A second 8-mm robot trocar was placed on the left side in a similar position to the first. A third robot trocar measuring 8-mm was placed 2 cm cranially to the left anterior iliac crest for the fourth robotic arm. A 12 mm trocar was placed to aid on the patient’s right side. The robot was docked, the dissection of the pelvic peritoneal had taken place, and the extraperitoneal space was created. The rest of the procedure was carried out in a manner, as previously described (9).
Our study was a retrospective analysis. Demographic characteristics including age, race, ASA, physical status, and disease history were recorded. Surgical and intraoperative details, including estimated blood loss and length of operation as well as postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications (lymphatic leakage, bleeding, and infection), pre- and postoperative PSA, were also recorded. The first postoperative PSA was done three months after surgery. The laboratory tests of renal and hepatic function were respectively collected pre-operatively and within one week after the procedures. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TB), combined bilirubin (CB), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLO), urea, serum creatinine (Scr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and creatinine clearance (CCR) are used to evaluate the hepatic and renal function. Changing percentages of all data were calculated [(last value − initial value)/initial value ×100%].
The SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for statistical processing. The data were all expressed as the mean ± standard deviation or count with percentage. The comparison between groups was conducted by Student’s t-test or a chi-square test. The normality test was conducted before these tests. Differences were statistically significant when P<0.05.
An identical surgery team completed all operations. Tables 1 and 2 show the general preoperative information of the two groups. No statistical difference of age, height, weight, PSA, or free prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) existed between the two groups, while the postoperative hospital stay and the length of operation in the TP-RALP group were significantly higher than those in the EP-RALP group (P<0.05). The estimated blood loss was comparable between the groups.
Pre- and postoperative hepatic and renal function in the two groups are shown in Table 3. After the operation, TB and CB were significantly increased, while the total protein, albumin, and globulin were significantly reduced compared with pre-operation (P<0.05) in both TP-RALP and EP-RALP groups. Postoperative levels of urea were significantly reduced (P<0.05) in both groups with no change of eGFR and CCR.
The preoperative hepatic and renal functions are comparable in two groups. The TP, ALB, and GLO in the EP-RALP group were reduced to a less extent than those in the TP-RALP group postoperatively (P<0.05). In terms of postoperative complications, there were two cases with lymphatic leakage and two with infection in the TP-RALP group while 1 case of infection in the EP-RALP group (Table 4). All patients with complications recovered after conservative treatment. Postoperatively, PSA was significantly decreased in both groups (P<0.05).
In this retrospective study, we observed that the transperitoneal and extraperitoneal approaches of RALP were comparable in the short-term outcome. Meanwhile, the hepatic function was affected to a greater extent in the transperitoneal approach than the extraperitoneal approach.
Since the introduction of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in 2000, it has almost completed replaced laparoscopy for radical prostatectomy in robotic machines affordable areas (10). Compared with open surgery, RALP showed reduced blood loss, early hospital discharge, and early return to everyday life with the equivalent outcome. Also, with the slighter Trendelenburg position and intact peritoneum, the extraperitoneal approach is ideally suited under certain situations like being obese and having a prior history of abdominal surgery (8).
Using low-pressure pneumoperitoneum does not appear to have clinical advantages as compared to standard pressure on cardiac and pulmonary function with proper perioperative measures. As to liver and kidney, low intraabdominal pressure is associated with less injury (11). In the extraperitoneal approach, less pressure exerted on the abdominal wall by the mechanical arm (12). So, our study focused on the liver and renal function only when comparing the outcome of these two approaches. The normal portal vein pressure ranges from 7 to 10 mmHg. A level of intraperitoneal pressure that exceeds this range reduces the portal vein blood flow and could result in hepatic ischemia (13-15). Animal research confirmed that 15 mmHg carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum caused more substantial hepatic injury (16). In the human study, the plasma disappearance rate (PDR) of indocyanine green (ICG), a compound marker for hepatosplanchnic perfusion, but not classic liver laboratory parameters, was positively correlated to intraabdominal pressure (17). In this retrospective study, with only the availability of laboratory tests of hepatic function, the results showed that under the same insufflation pressure (10 mmHg), some main parameters of hepatic function were changed in the postoperative, period which means pneumoperitoneum did affect the liver function. The hepatic perfusion has a unique self-regulation mechanism, called the hepatic arterial buffer response (HABR). Under physiological and pathophysiological conditions, the change in portal vein blood flow can be offset by a change in hepatic artery flow, to maintain the total hepatic blood flow and ensure the liver has sufficient oxygen supply. However, during carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum, hepatic artery blood flow cannot compensate for the decrease in portal vein blood flow. One possible explanation was that the absorption of carbon dioxide through the peritoneum could lead to adrenergic activity and hypercapnia leading to acidosis, which was known to affect the regulation of hepatic perfusion (13,18). Further analysis showed that TP and ALB were decreased to a greater extent in the transperitoneal approach than that in the extraperitoneal approach. Considering the same perioperative treatment in both groups, the difference may due to a longer operation in the TP-RALP group which was associated with operative trauma and increased catabolism (19-21).
Our laboratory test of renal function showed that the eGFR and CCR did not affect these two approaches of RALP while the Urea and Scr were slightly decreased postoperatively. A retrospective study carried by other centers showed a similar result. In the normal preoperative CCR group, RARP with an IAP of 15–20 mmHg does not induce renal dysfunction postoperatively (22). Theoretically, an increase in intraperitoneal pressure leads to the compression of renal vessels and parenchyma (23). A decrease in renal perfusion can cause the activation of the renin-aldosterone system and reduce renal blood flow. In the RALP procedure, pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position decrease renal blood flow and urine output by increasing intra-abdominal pressure (24). Compared with open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), RALP significantly affected the eGFR, urea, and creatinine levels (25). We did not observe the same decreased renal function in our study. This difference may due to a lower insufflation pressure in our study (10 mmHg) compared to theirs (12–15 mmHg). Importantly, the observed changes in renal function and perfusion may reversible and may also have a significant impact on patients with pre-existing compromised renal function, but minor importance in healthy people (26).
PSA in both groups reduced statistically after surgery, which means the surgical outcome of these two approaches is comparable. Like other studies (14,27), the length of postoperative hospital stay and operation were significantly lower in EP-RALP than that in the TP-RALP.
The limitations of this study are that as a retrospective study, the individual IAP was absent, and only the route laboratory tests of hepatic and renal function were available. More well-designed randomized studies are needed to evaluate further the difference and indications of these two approaches of RALP. Since the extraperitoneal pneumoperitoneum has been gradually started in our hospital since 2018, the follow-up time of most patients is relatively short. For comparison between the two groups, an appropriate length of follow-up time was set. If possible, the follow-up of this study will continue to get more convincing results.
Both transperitoneal and extraperitoneal approaches for undergoing a RALP procedure slightly affect hepatic and renal function to similar extents. Due to a shorter length of operation, the decrease of TP, ALB, and GLO in the EP-RALP group was significantly lower than that in the TP-RALP group. Our results suggest that when it comes to vulnerable patients, including those with preoperative malnutrition or renal and hepatic dysfunction, a decision should be made with greater caution for the surgical approaches.
We are thankful to Dr. Shuai Jang and Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, for the support.

Pasture Land Carbon Sequestration:
The School of Sustainable Food and Farming is supporting research into identifying opportunities to increase carbon sequestration in permanent pasture through changes in management practices.
This work will analyse current practices for permanent pasture in the UK, and use current literature to identify potential changes that could be made to increase carbon sequestration. Once these activities are complete, the project aims to evaluate the potential implementation of these changes in different UK systems, as well as identify common barriers to progress in this area.
The interim report is available here, with the final research findings and report due to be published later this year.
Undersowing maize ground with Perennial Rye Grass (PRG):
It is common knowledge that soil health is vital to the future of food production. The School of Sustainable Food and Farming is supporting research into soil protection methods through undersowing maize crops with a variety of grass types, including PRG, Festulolium and others.
“Undersown crops have the ability to bind soil and take up nutrients as they grow, as well as improving soil organic matter levels”
The interim report is available here, with the final research findings and report due to be published in 2023.


Mobile crushing plants are built ready-mounted on their own travel gear. Semi-mobile plants, on the other hand, are moved from one location to the next as a piggyback load on separate haul units. Each crushing plant comes ready to operate with its own feed hopper, feed conveyor, discharge conveyor and material transfer belt. The size and design of the crusher naturally depends upon the work that it is intended for.
Semi-mobile crushing plants are always to be recommended when a change of location in long periods is required in order to optimize the raw material transportation- and operational-costs of the quarry department.

Seventy-three percent of Americans highly prioritize access to fresh, healthy foods, according to the Urban Land Institute’s “America in 2015” survey,
That preference is resulting in the emergence of urban "agrihoods" -- residential areas organized around consumers’ desires for fresh, local food, reports Realtor Magazine.
"As the agrihood trend expands, it’s becoming clear many consumers are willing to pay a premium for neighborhood access to fresh food," writes the magazine's Meg White.
Thirty seventy percent of realtors in a recent survey said their clients want access to local food. Another six percent say their clients want their new homes to be near community gardens.
That's an especially interesting finding for Saratoga Springs residents who live near Pitney Meadows Community Farm, given its plan to build a community garden as soon as the Saratoga Springs Planning Board gives its final OK.
A report by the Urban Land Institute's Center for Sustainability, Cultivating Development: Trends and Opportunities at the Intersection of Food and Real Estate, explores the mutually beneficial relationship between food-based amenities—such as working farms, community gardens, food halls, restaurants, and grocery stores—and real estate. Among its findings:
- Small farms are making a comeback after a 70-year decline. They now constitute 88 percent of all farms, account for 47 percent of the value of all farm real estate, and generate 20 percent of agricultural sales.
- As of 2013, 35 percent of all U.S. households were growing food at home or in community gardens—an increase of 17 percent from 2008.
- The U.S. had an estimated 8,669 farmers markets in 2016, a 2.3 percent increase over the year before and a nearly fivefold increase since 1994.
- More than $900 million in funding was granted to more than 29,100 local and regional food entrepreneurs, farms, and ranches by the USDA between 2009 and 2014.

A shop vac, also known as a wet/dry vacuum, is a type of vacuum cleaner designed for heavy-duty cleaning tasks such as picking up wet and dry debris, sawdust, and even large objects such as nails and screws.
Most of the time, these vacuums are larger and more powerful than regular vacuum cleaners. They are usually found in factories, garages, and workshops.
A regular vacuum cleaner, on the other hand, is designed for routine cleaning tasks such as vacuuming carpets, rugs, and hardwood floors. These vacuums are typically smaller and less powerful than shop vacuums. They are intended for use in homes and offices.
In this post we will cover:
Difference Between a Shop Vac and a Regular Vacuum: Comparison
1. Structure & design
The primary distinction between a regular vacuum and a shop vac is the manner in which they are constructed. The majority of shop vacuums are much larger and heavier than standard vacuums. They also have stronger motors and suction.
As a result, they excel at labor-intensive tasks like cleaning up wet spills, sawdust, and waste from construction sites.
2. Suction Power
The magnitude of suction power is one of the most noticeable differences between a shop vac and a standard vacuum. Shop vacuums are designed to have significantly greater suction power than regular vacuums.
As a result, they are ideal for picking up large amounts of debris and materials. Furthermore, most shop vacuums have a larger debris capacity, indicating that they can hold more dirt before needing to be emptied.
3. Filtration system
Another significant difference between the two is the filtering method used by each. A shop vacuum’s filtration system is typically more involved and sophisticated than that of a standard vacuum. This is because shop vacs are designed to pick up large and heavy trash particles.
The shop vacs have a cartridge filter which is found in the majority of shop vacs. This filter is made to catch even the smallest particles, such as sawdust and dust. Many shop vacuum HEPA filters are capable of capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
Regular vacuums, on the other hand, are typically equipped with either a bag or a HEPA filter, both of which are designed to capture larger particles such as dust and pet hair.
This indicates that regular vacuums are more effective for larger particle tasks, whereas shop vacs are more effective for smaller particle tasks.
4. Intended purpose
When it comes to cleaning your home, you absolutely must have the necessary equipment. A shop vac is a more powerful piece of equipment that can and should be used for cleaning tasks that require more strength. A regular vacuum cleaner is ideal for daily cleaning.
A shop vac is the best option if you need a vacuum cleaner that is specifically designed for use in a workshop or garage. However, if you need a vacuum cleaner for your home or workplace, a regular model will most likely suffice.
5. Attachments & accessories
Both regular vacuums and shop vacuums come with attachments and extra parts. Shop vacs typically come with more attachments and accessories, such as crevice tools, wands, and nozzles, making them more versatile and well-suited for a variety of tasks.
Regular vacuums, on the other hand, typically come with fewer attachments and accessories, making them less useful than their more specialized counterparts. To help you clean your home, you can use either a regular vacuum or a shop vacuum.
Regular vacuums are better for picking up larger particles such as pet hair and debris, whereas shop vacs are better for heavy-duty tasks such as cleaning up wet spills and construction waste. Shop vacs are also more effective at cleaning up construction debris.
If you’re looking for a device that can do a variety of things, a shop vac might be the best option.
Shop vacuums typically require more maintenance than standard vacuums. This is due to the fact that their filters and parts are more complicated and must be cleaned or replaced more frequently.
Regular vacuums, on the other hand, are easier to maintain because they only need to be emptied or have their bags changed. A regular vacuum may be a better choice if you want something that does not require much upkeep and is mostly used for regular cleaning.
7. Cleaning Capacity
When it comes to cleaning, having the right tool for the job is crucial. Even though both vacuums are designed to remove dirt and dust from surfaces, there are significant differences in how well they do so.
A shop vac is a heavy-duty vacuum designed for cleaning jobs that require more effort than standard household vacuums. It is most commonly used in environments with a lot of dust and filth, such as garages, workshops, and factories.
These vacuums have powerful motors and large tanks that can hold a variety of materials, such as liquids, sawdust, and wood chips. They also have larger filters and stronger hoses, allowing them to handle larger dirt particles and more difficult cleaning tasks.
Regular vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, are intended for the types of routine cleaning tasks that you perform. The majority of the time, they are used in homes and businesses to clean upholstery, carpets, and hardwood floors.
The motors and tanks of these vacuums are more compact than those on a shop vac, and neither the filters nor the hoses are as durable. They are most effective for lighter cleaning tasks, such as dusting and vacuuming carpets, because they are not designed to effectively remove large debris or liquids.
When it comes to cleaning effectiveness, nothing beats the performance of a shop vac. It can effectively handle both solid waste and liquids due to its powerful motor and large tank. It can also handle more difficult cleaning tasks because it has larger filters and stronger hoses.
A regular vacuum, on the other hand, is best suited for less strenuous cleaning tasks because it is not designed to handle large amounts of debris or liquids.
When selecting the appropriate vacuum for your cleaning needs, it is critical to consider the type of debris, the amount of debris, and the surfaces that will be cleaned.
The construction of a shop vac and a regular vacuum also differs. A shop vac’s motor is often larger and more powerful, allowing it to pick up larger pieces of debris and deal with wet spills. It also has a larger waste bag or container, allowing it to hold more garbage.
A regular vacuum, on the other hand, has a relatively small motor and collection bag. This makes it easier to manage in terms of size and portability within the home.
9. The motor
A shop vac typically has a more powerful motor than a regular vacuum, allowing it to pick up larger and heavier trash. As a result, a shop vac is an excellent tool for cleaning up sawdust, nails, and other debris in a garage or workshop.
10. Dust container capacity
It is not necessary to empty a shop vac as frequently as a regular vacuum dust can since the shop vac can typically hold more debris than a regular vacuum dust can.
When deciding between a shop vac and a regular vacuum, it is crucial to consider the type of cleaning you will be doing as well as the type of dirt you will be taking up.
A vacuum cleaner is an essential piece of equipment for getting rid of dirt and dust in your home or workplace. However, not all vacuum cleaners are created equal, and a vacuum cleaner’s durability can have a significant impact on how well it performs over its lifetime.
Regular vacuums are unable to pick up sawdust, wet spills, and other large pieces of trash, but shop vacuums are designed specifically for this purpose. These vacuums are built to last and have filters that can withstand the rigors of an industrial or manufacturing environment.
Furthermore, they are outfitted with powerful motors that make cleaning tight spaces a breeze. When it comes to longevity, one of the best features of a shop vac is its ability to handle wet spills and debris. This is one of the best aspects of having a shop vac.
Regular vacuum cleaners are not designed to handle wet debris, and they can be damaged if they come into contact with liquids. Shop vacs, on the other hand, have motors and filters that are resistant to damage when exposed to damp debris.
As a result, they are excellent for cleaning up spills and other types of messy situations involving liquids in a garage or workshop. Shop vacs can also pick up large amounts of material.
Shop vacuums have powerful motors and filters that are designed to handle a large amount of dirt and dust without becoming clogged or slowing down. As a result, they are excellent for cleaning up large amounts of garbage such as sawdust or wood chips.
Regular vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, are not designed to handle intensive cleaning tasks, and their durability cannot compete with that of shop vacuums. They are usually made of lightweight materials and have small motors that are unsuitable for strenuous cleaning tasks.
Regular vacuums lack the heavy-duty filters and other features that shop vacs have, making it more difficult for them to vacuum up the waste that is both wet and heavy. Furthermore, they wear out faster, making them more likely to break or require maintenance more frequently.
A shop vac is your best bet if you want a vacuum cleaner that can handle tough cleaning tasks and is built to last. A regular vacuum, on the other hand, is best suited for light cleaning duties around the house and may not last as long as it is more powerful counterpart.
In conclusion, both a shop vacuum and a regular vacuum are used to clean surfaces by sucking up dirt and debris. However, they differ in important ways that make them better suited to different tasks.
A shop vacuum is more powerful and can hold more dirt and debris, making it ideal for heavy-duty cleaning tasks such as cleaning up wet spills, sawdust, and other debris in a workshop or garage.
A regular vacuum, on the other hand, is lighter and easier to maneuver. This makes it ideal for daily cleaning tasks such as vacuuming carpets and furniture in the home or office.
Therefore, depending on what you need to clean, you should choose between a shop vac and a regular vacuum.

Hi all, My Misty is a Black Lab cross who has the most gorgeous nature, she is very loving and always wants some part of her leaning against us, no problem there. She is very friendly with other people who come to the house BUT she is very unsociable with other dogs. For the first three years of her life she was the only doggie in the family, now our Son has got a Brown/red Lab 2yo and our daughter has two pups, one Cav and one Cavoodle, when they bring their dogs around to visit our girl gets up on a chair and that is where she stays, she refuses to look at them or make contact with them at all, she will stay there all day if she has to. Our Son and his family are going to move in with us while their house is being built so we'll have Major (Lab) staying here to and I'm not sure how to get our girl off the chair LOL she can't stay there for 12/ 18 months LOL. Has anyone got any suggestions on how we can get our girl off her chair.
I have in the past got her off to play but Major is a rough dog so Misty's tail goes back between the legs and heads straight for the chair again.
Our options that we plan are to move the chairs but they are her only escape,
We plan to take the two of them walking a lot so they get use to the closeness of each other.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
I probably should mention that she had been attacked a couple of times when we went walking with her as a pup, I feel this has been the reason for her current behaviour, unfortunately I was unable to take her for walks for some time after these attacks so she finished up being away from any dogs at all for that time.
Thanking you in advance,

They have been producing and screenwriting partners, but it’s been quite awhile since Ben Affleck and Matt Damon appeared on screen together. The two buddies first set the industry on fire when “Good Will Hunting” debuted in 1997 and ended up with an original screenplay Academy Award in the process (of course, their lack of writing in the years since has only fueled rumors they had a lot of help on the script, but that’s another story). While the media often had the two Boston natives joined at the hip, the only other films they have starred in together in is Kevin Smith’s “Dogma” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.” Meanwhile, Damon has had a very steady and successful career thanks to the “Ocean Eleven” and “Bourne” films, but Affleck suffered through a good decade of up and downs. Now that Affleck has made a name for himself as a successful director with “Gone Baby Gone” and “The Town,” both gents have publicly stated they expect to work together again soon. That time appears to be now.
Warner Bros. announced today they have recruited the duo to produce a movie about Whitey Bulger, one of the most feared Boston mobsters ever, who was recently arrested in Los Angeles after almost 17 years on the run from authorities. Affleck will direct the picture and co-star while Damon is set to play Bulger himself. Damon, of course, also starred in “The Departed” which was inspired by Bugler’s life.
Casey Affleck, who also starred in “Hunting,” “Gone Baby Gone” and alongside Damon in the “Ocean’s” films as well as Gus Van Sants’ “Gerry,” will also appear in the picture. The screenplay is being written by “Boardwalk Empire” and “The Sopranos'” Terrence Winter.
In a statement from Warner Bros., Affleck noted, “Matt and I have been looking for something to do together for some time,” Affleck said. “We”ve heard about Whitey Bulger since we were kids, and we are excited by the prospect of putting it on screen.”
It’s unclear how far reaching Affleck and Winter’s take on Bugler’s life will be, but we’re guessing it will provide Damon another Oscar bait performance on his resume.
Affleck is currently filming “Argo” for producer George Clooney and has been rumored to direct “The Stand” for Warner Bros. as well. Damon will appear in Cameron Crowe’s” We Bought A Zoo” in Dec.

I was feeling a bit off today.Do you ever have those days?When your feeling moody and emotional for any number of reasons? Well that was me today! Then something happened that brightened my day.My sister called! She is a fellow wife,mother,Christian and homeschooler. She is my big sis and always willing to listen and talk me through my bad days. I love her so very much. Since my husband is in the Army we don't live near family.Being far from my sister is hard for me.I am very thankful we both can keep in touch with the dial of a phone or a quick email :0)
When I think about my sister and how close we are,she really is my best friend I have to chuckle a little!For it was not always so! As teenagers we fought like cats and dogs!We honestly couldn’t stand each other. One time it even came to blows!We were fighting over the thing all teen girls fight over,who got to use the phone!LOL If someone had told me then that now she would be my favorite friend and my closes confidant.I would have laughed.I am so thankful for my sister and the closeness we have developed over the years.

RWE signs grid connection agreement
with Energinet for Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm
RWE Renewables GmbH
- Energinet to build two new electrical substations; cables will be buried underground
- Green electricity for more than one million Danish households
Essen, 7 April 2022
RWE has signed an agreement with the Danish grid operator Energinet for its Thor Offshore Wind Farm. The agreement regulates the technical set-up, the power quality and the cooperation between RWE and Energinet, at the point of connection (POC) in Volder Mark.
With a planned capacity of around 1,000 megawatts (MW) Thor will be Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm to date. The wind farm will be built off the Danish west coast approximately 22 kilometers from the port of Thorsminde.
To connect the offshore wind farm to the grid, Energinet will construct a new 220 kilovolt (kV) station - as part of the 220/400 kV conversion of the existing 400 kV station in Idomlund. From there, 28 kilometers of cables will be laid underground to connect to a new 220 kV station (POC) to be constructed at Volder Mark, which is located 4 km from the coastline. At Volder Mark the electricity generated by the offshore wind farm will be delivered to the grid.
Once fully operational, which is planned to be no later than 2027, Thor would be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of more than one million Danish households. As something new for offshore wind in Denmark, developer RWE will construct and pay for the entire offshore electrical high voltage system up to POC, and also pay for the onshore grid connection. This is regulated by a concession agreement signed with the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) in January.
RWE is a leading global player in renewables and number 2 worldwide in offshore wind. The Thor project will help to support the company’s goal to triple its global offshore wind capacity from 2.4 to 8 gigawatts by 2030. RWE is already involved in the Danish Rødsand 2 offshore wind farm, which is located south of the Danish island Lolland, approximately 10 kilometres southeast of Rødbyhavn. The wind farm has an installed capacity of 207 MW (RWE share: 20%) and has been in operation since 2010.

Ba-zam, the mini I whipped up real fast for Heroescon! A little less polished than I usually like, but hey I was on a time crunch!
I haven’t been working traditionally very much since I started my webcomic so it was a little weird going back to pen, it was really difficult but kinda fun! I’ll definitely be doing more mini’s in my sketchbook. I think keeping things loose and unrefined let’s me power through pages without getting too bogged down by my perfectionism.
Anyway, I really dig apocalypse stuff but always get turned off by the gratuitous violence/gore. I think It’d be really fun to do a long-form zombie story where you never actually see the zombies. Or at least, they never rip someones head off… I’m way more interested in the characters dealing with the new world order than the monster fighting aspect anyway.
If someone were to want a zombie apocalypse story centred around some awesome chicks, I know a comic artist in need of a job! ha ha
