This invention relates to a weather louver and more particularly to a moisture separator and collector for mist, liquid particles and droplets of moisture carried in an air stream. The device includes parallel zigzag passages with moisture traps and drain troughs for collecting the moisture and draining the moisture from the air stream as it passes through the weather louver.
The removal of solid and liquid particles from a gas stream can be accomplished in a variety of ways, the choice being based on which is the most economical and practical depending on the velocity of the air stream and also the volume of air displaced through the weather louver. The size and nature of the particles, which may include dust particles as well as liquid particles and droplets, also affect the choice of the manner in which the separation is accomplished.
The inertia type of separator uses baffle chambers as distinguished from a cyclone chamber in which the gases are rotated at a fairly high speed. The inertia separation principle causes the air stream to change direction rapidly several times as it passes through the separator. The rapid change of direction of the air stream causes particles and droplets because of inertia to leave the air stream and be precipitated out on the surface of a baffle and a chamber allows moisture to drain from the separator. The pockets or chambers formed by the baffles serve to collect the dust particles and moisture droplets as air passes through the passages to the outlet of the separator.
The Regehr patent, U.S. Pat. No. 3,953,183 shows an apparatus for separating particulates from gases. The passages for the air stream are continuous sinusoidal passages having a blade extending into the air stream and a cavity formed beneath it precipitating moisture. A serrated surface above the blade also causes precipitation of moisture on the serrated surface which forms troughs to carry the moisture externally of the device.
The applicant's invention provides bends in linear passages, an impact surface and a double venturi strategically located relative to the impact surface for increasing the velocity of the air as it passes through the passages. The liquid particles impinge on the impact surface as the air makes a right angle turn. The high velocity of the air stream as it passes by the impact surface causes precipitation of the particles on the impact surface from where they are drained from the weather louver.
It is the object of this invention to provide a weather louver for separating and collecting liquid particles carried in the air stream.
It is another object of this invention to provide for separation of liquid and solid particles entrained in an air stream through inertia separation.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a weather louver for separating and collecting entrained liquid particles in an air stream by inertia separation.
The objects of this invention are accomplished in a weather louver assembly including a plurality of parallel passages. The passages zigzag through the weather louver in a generally longitudinal direction. The abrupt changes in the direction of the air causes the liquid particles to precipitate out on impact surfaces whereby the collected moisture can drain from the weather louver. The passage walls include arcuate parts and a deflector forming first and second venturi to vary the size of the passage to accelerate or decelerate the velocity of the air stream at a portion of the air stream passage where the direction of the air stream is changed to cause the liquid droplets to precipitate and drain from the weather louver assembly. The passages preferably linear with sharp bends to form impact surfaces for drainage of the precipitated moisture.
Referring to the drawings, the preferred embodiments of this invention are illustrated.
FIG. 1 illustrates a cross-section view of the passages showing the direction of the air flow through the weather louver;
FIG. 2 illustrates a three-dimensional view of the housing enclosing the weather louver assembly;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged section view of a deflector in the air passage shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a corrugated impact surface downstream from the deflector shown in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-section view of a vane in the passage downstream of the corrugated surface as shown in FIG. 4; and
FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a baffle near the outlet of the air stream.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 the weather louver includes a housing 1 having a plurality of vanes 2 mounted therein to extend from the front 1A of the housing 1 to the rear 1B of the housing in a generally longitudinal direction indicated by the arrows 4 in FIG. 1. The vanes 2 each have a similar cross sectional configuration and include an inlet wall 2A, a diagonal wall 7, a connecting wall 13, and an outlet wall 2B. The vanes extend vertically in the housing 1 and are mounted therein in transversely spaced parallel relation relative to each other and to the longitudinal direction indicated by arrows 4. The respective walls 2A, 7, 13 and 2B of each vane combine with the corresponding walls of immediately adjacent vanes to define therebetween zigzag air stream passages 3 extending in the generally longitudinal direction, indicated arrows 4, through the weather louver.
Each air stream passage 3 includes, in the direction of flow of the air stream, an inlet portion 5 defined between the transversely spaced inlet walls 2A of adjacent vanes; a diagonal partition 6 defined between the transversely spaced diagonal walls 7 of adjacent vanes which extend at a first transverse angle away from the longitudinal direction 4; a connecting portion 12 defined between the transversely spaced connecting walls 13 of adjacent vanes which extend at a second transverse angle back toward said longitudinal direction 4; and an outlet portion 24 defined between the transversely spaced outlet walls 2B. Change of direction of the diagonal passage 6 places an impact surface 8 in position to be contacted by liquid particles carried in the air stream through the inlet passage 5. Due to the inertia of the particles which have a greater weight than the air molecules, the particles tend to precipitate on the impact surface 8 as will be more fully explained hereinafter. The diagonal and connecting walls extend at a right angle relative to each other. The juncture between the diagonal and connecting walls 7 and 13 is comprised of first and second arcuate parts 9A and 10A which, in cross section, may be circumferentially connected segments of a single circle which has a circumferential gap facing upstream into the diagonal portion 6 of the air stream passage 3 to define a dead air moisture collecting chamber 10.
With reference to any one common air flow passage 3 between two immediately adjacent vanes 2 the arcuate part 9A on one vane extends part way into one side of the common air stream passage and the arcuate part 9B of the immediately adjacent vane extends part way into the other side of the common air stream passage. The first and second arcuate parts 9A, 10A define, therebetween, a first venturi 9B which is at the juncture of the diagonal and connecting walls for accelerating the air stream and the liquid particles therein as the air stream changes direction when passing from the diagonal portion 6 into the connecting portion 12 of the air stream passage 3.
The second arcuate part 9A has an integral deflector 9, which may be arcuate in cross section, that extends upstream into said diagonal portion 6 of the air stream passage. The arcuate part 9A and the opposite adjacent diagonal wall 7 define therebetween a second venturi 9C upstream of the juncture of the diagonal and connecting walls 7 and 13 for accelerating the air stream and the liquid particles in passage 6 as it approaches the juncture between the diagonal wall 7 and connecting wall 13.
The deflector 9 extends transversely into the passage to narrow the width of the passage and forms a dead air chamber 10 under the deflector 9. The deflector 9 also obstructs a portion of the cross-sectional area of the passage to define the second venturi 9C which causes an acceleration of the air. The airstream passes through a short, wider area and then flows by the arcuate parts 9A and 10B defining the first venturi which again accelerates the air stream and the particles therein. This in turn causes the particles to impact against the corrugated surface 11 as the air makes a right angle turn going to the connecting passage 12.
The surface 14 of wall 13 has a vane 15 forming a collector for moisture precipitated on the surface upstream of the vane. The vane also accelerates flow of the air in turn causing a precipitation of moisture particles on the impact surface 16. A deflector 17 on the outlet wall 2B also operates as a collector to collect moisture from impact surface 16. The deflector 17 extends transversely of the passage forming a trough for draining fluid from the weather louver assembly.
The operation of the weather louver will be described in the following paragraphs.
The flow of air through the weather louver is induced by the fan 20. The air enters the inlet passage 5 at approximately a rate of flow of 1000 ft/min. Liquid particles are is entrained in the air and as the air changes direction upon entering the diagonal passage 7, the liquid particles impinge upon the impact surface 8. Movement of the air causes the liquid particles to flow toward the dead air chamber 10. As the liquid accumulates in the dead air chamber 10, it drains downwardly and is discharged from the weather louver assembly by a suitable drain passage not shown.
The deflector 9 extends part way into one side of the air stream of diagonal passage 7 and partially obstructs the flow of the air steam therein. Deflector 9 also forms the second venturi 9C as previously explained. Since the diagonal passage 6 is slightly smaller than the inlet passage 5, the rate of flow is higher and is approximately 1500 ft/min. Since the deflector 9 further obstructs the diagonal passage, the velocity of the air increases as it passes through the second venturi 9C. The rate of flow of the air around the deflector 9 is approximately 3000 ft/min. As the air passes by the deflector, it decreases to approximately 1765 ft/min. The air stream is again accelerated as it passes through the first venturi 9C and then the velocity decreases because connecting passage 12 is wider than the venturi 9C it makes a right angle turn by the serrated surface 11. The liquid particles are heavier than air molecules and thus have a greater tendancy to follow a path closer to a straight line. The liquid particles, when accelerated, will follow closer to a straight line and will not be able to turn from diagonal passage 6 into connecting passage 12 and thus will impact upon the corrugated impact surface 11. The rate of flow through the connecting passage 12 is approximately 1500 ft/min.
The air continues on through the connecting passage and passes around the vane 15 which extends into the connecting passage 12. At this point, the air velocity has again been accelerated to approximately 2000 ft/min. and the remaining particles of liquid are projected against the impact area 16. The air turns at approximately 45° at this point and exits from the outlet passage 24. Liquid particles impinging on the impact surface 16 are restrained from going beyond baffle 17 and are drained downwardly to a drain passage and are discharged from the weather louver assembly. The use of the linear passages and the changes in direction of the passage as it goes through the weather louver cause the liquid particles to precipitate against the surfaces as shown. The change in air velocity also affect the precipitation of the moisture and liquid particles as the air flows through the passage. Accordingly, the weather louver precipitates solid particles and liquid droplets because of inertia separation since the particles are heavier than the air stream and tend to continue in the direction of their movement. The air changes direction through the passage leaving the particles precipitated on the surfaces of the passage.

Our gardens are on the front line in the battle to protect our native species. It’s estimated that there are 16 million gardens in the UK, and all have the chance to do their bit. No matter how big or small, every garden can offer refuge for wildlife. Whether your garden is gravel, grass or decking; these simple measures can make all the difference. It is our responsibility to look after Britain’s native wildlife. Below are a few simple things that you can do to attract more wildlife to your garden.
One of the most simple and maintenance free ideas is to create an insect hotel. This can be a pile of leaves and twigs or rotting logs that simply get left to do their thing. You can also tie a bunch of sticks together with string and place your hotel somewhere quiet in the garden. Or, if you don’t want to make one you can buy a ready made hotel from most garden centers. Your hotel will create food and shelter for insects such as beetles and spiders that will go on to benefit the rest of your garden’s ecosystem.
You don’t have to leave your garden to grow into an small jungle to benefit your local wildlife – a small corner, border or even a large plant pot will do. Leaving a space to grow naturally not only promotes different plant species, but it allows plants to go to seed or produce flowers which all go on to feed you garden wildlife, and the best thing is you don’t need to do any maintenance!
Prime nesting spots can be hard to come by for many of Britain’s bird species. Buying or building a nest box can be great fun and it gives song birds a head start when it comes to the breeding season.
When installing a bird box make sure that it faces between north and west. This will stop the box being exposed to strong sunlight and west winds.
Water is essential for all life, and providing a source can see many new species enter your garden. Your pond doesn’t have to be big as it can be as simple as a bucket dug into the ground. However big or small, make sure there is a way for wildlife to get in and out of your pond. Water will always attract insects which will later encourage other species such as frogs, birds, and bats.
Creating a compost heap benefits everyone! You’re provided with rich nutrients for your garden, whilst providing a habitat for wildlife. As your garden waste breaks down, it will create heat. This heat provides the ideal habitat for worms, woodlice, frogs, and even slow worms if you’re lucky.
A majority of gardens in the UK are fenced, and although this doesn’t cause a problem for most wildlife, animals such as hedgehogs aren’t able to scale them so see their habitat continually getting smaller. Cutting a small section of fence out of the base gives hedgehogs a free passage to move from garden to garden keeping those slugs away.
Planting wild flowers brings beautiful colours and wonderful smells to your garden. It also provides essential food for insects and bees. With proper research, you can plant varieties of flowers that will bloom from spring through to autumn and keep your garden wildlife happy.
If you don’t have the space on the ground for plants, then why not plant a species that climbs? Ivy is a great evergreen plant the provides pollen for bees whilst producing some of the latest ripening berries for the garden birds in the winter.
There are many small changes that we can make to our gardens that will have a big knock-on effect to our native wildlife. Even if only one of these steps is followed your local wildlife will thank you.

Why Americans Don't Care
Compare the covers of the different editions of the latest issue of Time. In most of the world, the cover of the magazine features a striking image of an Egyptian rioter in a gas mask. But the U.S. edition reduces the unrest to Egypt to small print and leads instead with a general series on “Why Anxiety Is Good for You.”
The cover is the main thing that’s different. The article on the ongoing revolution in Egypt is still in the U.S. edition. But the fact that the magazine ran a different cover for the U.S. edition is nevertheless telling. As David Airey shows, it’s not unusual for the U.S. edition to feature some story on marriage or family relationships while burying international news. Of course, you don’t have to go far back to see that there are also times when it's the U.S. edition that features the hard international news. At the end of October, for example, the cover of the U.S. edition was about the real estate bubble in China, while the international editions all led with the release of Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s new Tintin movie.
The international release of a blockbuster movie about Tintin—who has iconic status in much of the world—is at least news. But the Time series on anxiety is an evergreen, which means that because it’s not tied to current events it could run more or less at any time. Evergreen pieces are typically used to fill in during weeks when the news is slow. With the recent unrest in Egypt, news is hardly slow.
As Airey says, Time's decision to devote its cover to a series on anxiety rather than to the riots in Egypt is not censorship, as some are suggesting. Americans can still read about Egypt in the pages of the magazine. The editors of the magazine—and it is certainly not just Time that makes these decisions—simply made a judgment about which cover was likely to sell more magazines. It's not that Americans don't care about what happens to Egyptians, but that it simply doesn't personally affect them that much. The truth is that Time's editors are probably right to think that another piece on rioting in the Middle East won’t sell many magazines in the U.S.
It would be easy to complain about how self-involved and shallow Americans are. But our relative lack of interest in foreign news primarily stems from the fact that historically Americans have rarely had to worry much about what was happening overseas. Isolationism has for much of our history been a luxury we could afford. Our strength and geographic position have generally made an attack on U.S. soil unlikely. And our large economy has insulated us to a large extent from fluctuations in the international economy. Globalization has changed this to an extent, although international trade is still a relatively small part of the U.S. national economy. Nevertheless, this insularity has a cost. Unrest in the Middle East and financial crises in Europe affect us more than now than ever before. It is time we started paying more attention.

- Spinning discs are everywhere – just look at our solar system, the rings of Saturn, and all the spiral galaxies in the universe.
- Spinning discs are the result of two things: The force of gravity and a phenomenon in physics called the conservation of angular momentum.
- Gravity brings matter together; the closer the matter gets, the more it accelerates – much like an ice skater who spins faster and faster the closer their arms get to their body. Then, this spinning cloud collapses due to up and down and diagonal collisions that cancel each other out until the only motion they have in common is the spin – and voila: A flat disc.
It's not just a case of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
- A new study suggests children who endure trauma grow up to be adults with more empathy than others.
- The effect is not universal, however. Only one kind of empathy was greatly effected.
- The study may lead to further investigations into how people cope with trauma and lead to new ways to help victims bounce back.

What makes LIFE EXTRAORDINARY is the ability to SEE WONDER in the ordinary.
The Eaton Family founded Bower & Branch from their 175-acre farm in Leesport, Pennsylvania, to help homeowners make better decisions when it comes to choosing, planting, and caring for their trees and plants. During the recession of 2008, Don Eaton took that time to study the industry, recognizing a need as the world began to shift towards online shopping. After years of seeing neighbors and friends struggle within their own gardens. Don Eaton founded Bower & Branch as more than just an online nursery, but a beneficial site for homeowners to have access to expert grower knowledge. Bower & Branch is a learning experience for customers, having information at their fingertips from growers and farmers with years of professional and personal experience within their own landscapes. To ensure homeowners build the landscape that is right for them—building a relationship between the soil and the soul.
Family has always been at the heart of Bower & Branch. From century-old farms to rapidly-growing family operations, the culture that exists at the heart of Bower & Branch grown trees is woven into the passion of those who grow them. Leading us to gorgeous sprawling fields that, year after year, host the strength and health of our trees and plants. The unsung heroes that dedicate their time not to the size of the tree, but to the health of the tree. Bower & Branch doesn't choose just anyone to grow our plants. Many of them have dedicated their lives, along with their families, to be the most qualified professionals, exceeding certain standards; demonstrating continual education and devotion to healthy plants. These are the family of Growers that ensure strong roots into your garden, years before you even plant.
Our Mission is to inspire people and communities back into the garden. Immersing yourself in nature, even to simply viewing trees and garden settings, though the benefit of caring for living plants, even just one potted perennial, transcends green views - it is therapeutic. We want to inspire families to create spaces for you and your family for generations to come, being fearless in the garden together. Our motto is “Plant Creatively” because for every bed of vibrant roses or thriving climbing maple trees, a little history and wisdom is buried in the soil, full of cherished memories you created.
Standing tall and mighty; Trees mark the spots where everyday and extraordinary life happens. From the focal points of our neighborhoods and gardens, to the cherished memories trees hold. We believe in empowering homeowners with healthy and structurally sound plants that are grown to perform in the ground after they leave the nursery for home delivery.

This cancer claims more lives than breast, colon and prostate combined
Lung cancer is a deadly disease, killing more people in the U.S. than any other type of cancer, according to the According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Lung cancer is especially dangerous because most patients don’t experience symptoms until the disease has become very advanced, sometimes spreading from the lungs into other parts of the body, including the spine.
Common lung cancer symptoms include worsening cough, chest pain, coughing up blood, exhaustion and unexplained weight loss.
While recognizing these symptoms early will help patients’ prognosis, preventative measures such as behavioral and lifestyle modifications, screenings or risk assessments are key to driving down the number of deaths associated with lung cancer, says Dr. Mebea Aklilu, a medical oncologist at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago.
Don’t know if you should be screened for lung cancer? The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends it for individuals who:
- Are 55-80 years old
- Have a history of heavy smoking (one pack a day for 30 or more years)
- Smoke now or quit in the past 15 years
Individuals who are not candidates for a screening should still be diligent and take active steps to minimize their risk of lung cancer, Dr. Aklilu says.
“Smoking is the greatest risk factor for lung cancer, but there are other risk factors we should be aware of, as well,” he says. “Environmental exposure to hazardous carcinogenic materials, such as second-hand smoke, radon and asbestos and genetics can also increase our risk of lung cancer. While we cannot control where we come from, it’s imperative we all maintain a safe standard for air quality and materials.”
Our Lung Health Assessment will help you identify your risk factors and determine whether a lung cancer screening is right for you.

Huawei Launches Honor 5C In China | TechTree.com
Huawei Launches Honor 5C In China
The smartphone comes with a 5.2 inch display screen and runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Huawei has recently launched its new budget smartphone, dubbed as the Honor 5C in China.
The smartphone is powered by the company's very own HiSilicon Kirin 650 processor, coupled with 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB internal storage. The display screen is of 5.2 inches and the samrtphone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The smartphone sports a 13 MP rear camera along with an 8 MP front-facing shooter. The battery is of 3,000 mAh capacity and it is non-removable.
Coming to the pricing of the device, we still are unaware of the Indian price tag and also its availability in India. However, the smartphone is expected to come at somewhere around $139 for the 3G only model. If you would want a 4G supporting model, the price tag would increase by over $15. That's approximately under Rs 10,000 smartphone when it is officially launched in India.
Keeping in mind the specifications and the price tag, this smartphone may be as good as the Honor 5X, apart from the 5.5 inch display screen. But, 5.2 inch might not be that bad too. We'll have to wait until we get official announcements from Huawei.

BRIDGETON — Inspira Health Center Bridgeton celebrated the opening of its new Behavioral Health Services unit on Friday, which has expanded from the previous facility.
Behavioral Health Services has doubled in space, now equaling 17,000 square feet. Inspira invested approximately $9 million into the facility, out of a total of $18 million in general investments to the health center.
“Behavior health clients are a very marginalized population and to provide such a great service for that population, it really does display the commitment to the community,” said David Moore, executive director of Behavior Health Sciences at Inspira Health Center Bridgeton.
Out of the total 33 beds — an increase of four beds from the previous facility — there are beds reserved for residents of Cumberland and Salem counties. Although, the behavioral health unit can accept other patients from throughout the state.
“If we have a bed and you’re in an emergency room in need of mental health treatment — and you meet the dangerousness threshold — we are certainly there for anyone in the state,” Moore said.
Inpatient behavioral units are meant for adults with mental illness that pose a danger to themselves or others without treatment, including depression, delusions or psychosis.
“Mental illnesses are treatable and with treatment, you certainly show that you can make those dangerous behaviors go away with appropriate treatment and counseling,” Moore said.
“That’s what we do.”
Treatment includes psychiatry, medication and even a creative arts therapy program.
Artwork from the therapy program was on display at Friday’s ceremony at the center, located at 333 Irving Ave.
The need for increased space for the inpatient unit allows patients — both voluntary and involuntary — to have more focused care and allow them to be divided from the more agitated patients, according to Dr. Amit Kurani, medical director and chairman of the department of psychiatry for the health care network.
Previously, with the health center unable to separate patients, a cascading effect occurred where the more agitated patients compromised the treatment of other patients.
Now, those patients can be separated from the rest and be closely monitored by staff.
“There are certain patient populations that require a higher level of care and monitoring,” Kurani said.
Mayor Albert Kelly sees the opening as a boon to the community.
“It makes me happy that the citizens can have a first-class mental health unit, a first-class facility and a first-class hospital here in our own city,” Kelly said.
The mayor also serves on the Inspira Health System Board.
He originally took a tour of the facility when it was under construction in May but, seeing the finished product, he is impressed.
“It’s stressful times and we need a first class operation and this is a first class operation,” Kelly said.

eXXpedition North Pacific is a pioneering all-female sailing expedition and scientific research mission starting in Hawaii and ending in Seattle via Vancouver this summer led by British skipper and ocean advocate Emily Penn.
The expedition is made up of a diverse and international group of 24 women from Britain, USA, Canada, Slovenia, Norway and Honduras. They are scientists, students, artists, filmmakers, business women, psychologists, actors, ocean activists and sustainability professionals - novice as well as experienced sailors.
Split over two voyage legs, they are journeying for a month over 3,000 nautical miles through the densest ocean plastic accumulation zone on the planet, the North Pacific Gyre - better known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Science at Sea
The crew will conduct daily trawls for plastics and pollutants, collecting data for a variety of global datasets and scientific research studies along the way. This data will be used to support scientists in the UK, Canada, Switzerland and the USA including conservation organisation Ocean Wise in Canada and the Hawaii Pacific University. Studies range in focus from understanding the impact of plastic pollution on Sea Turtle environments to microplastics and the impact of toxics, carried by plastic, on our bodies.
We are honoured to be sponsoring crew member Nikkey Dawn who will be on leg 2 of the journey (21st - 28th July). A designer and ocean activist, Nikkey's role on the trip is to document the findings and tell the story through photography and video as they coastal hop from Vancouver to Seattle learning how plastic pollution is impacting the shore and communities. We wish Nikkey and the entire crew a safe and successful trip.
The crew has successfully completed the expedition. Massive thanks to Nikkey for sharing these photos from the trip. For more information about this expedition and their findings, as well as details on further upcoming trips, click here.

|The Cartier Halo Tiara|
|As shown in the Cartier archives|
Video: The tiara sparkles at The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding
After a few decades in the vault, The Queen loaned the Halo Tiara to Catherine Middleton for her wedding to Prince William in 2011. As of this writing, we have not seen The Duchess of Cambridge wear the tiara again. It was on loan to a Cartier exhibit in France when it came time for her first post-wedding tiara appearance, so she moved on to the Lotus Flower Tiara and then on to the Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara. The Duchess' wedding earrings, diamond gifts from her parents that match this tiara, have also not been seen publicly since the wedding.

Assist effectively-functioning joints with the assistance of our CBD Salves. Topical CBD merchandise can be found in quite a lot of textures, with completely different added scents, essential oils, and herbal elements. Also, we’ve made sure to use pure moisturizing components with a view to replenish and beautify the skin, all whereas offering the body with the superb results of hemp extract.
Finding Effective Systems In Cbd Topical Cream
Analysis shows that humans have cannabinoids receptors on the skin. When the cannabinoid receptors are activated by way of topical cannabinoids, skin points such as ache, irritation, itchiness and temperature could be decreased. Cannabidiol (CBD) and Cannabinol (CBN) have been shown to penetrate the skin 10 instances better than delta-eight THC. In more extreme circumstances of pain, itchiness and irritation, a CBD dominant topical may be more practical than a THC prepared topical product. Potency of the topical might also play a task in the effectiveness of the topical for symptom aid. At present there are no human studies which have evaluated dosage and focus of topical cannabinoids. As with most cannabis products, some exploration will happen.
Plus, some CBD oils are derived from hemp, the fiber of the cannabis plant. Although the 2014 Farm Bill declared certain hemp cultivation practices authorized, muddying the authorized waters much more, the president signed the brand new Farm Bill into law in December 2018, effectively legalizing hemp under federal law.
That mentioned, we don’t always know exactly what’s in the CBD merchandise out there as a consequence of an absence of regulation. Until lately, CBD was regulated as a Schedule 1 substance, meaning that the federal authorities believed it had a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical worth. However the FDA approval of Epidiolex final year and the passage of the Farm Invoice in December 2018 changed issues by lifting the federal ban on business hemp manufacturing (hemp also comprises CBD in lower amounts than hashish). However it also made issues more confusing as a result of we’re still waiting on actual CBD regulations from the FDA In the meantime, companies are treating hemp-derived CBD as if it is perfectly authorized, Dr. Tishler says.
Our third-party lab stories show no detectable THC in any product batch. A research at Penn State’s School of Drugs showed 70% of all CBD merchandise Cbd Topicals offered on-line are mislabeled, so we try to be precisely accurate and go above and beyond the business’s requirements.
I just began using BioCBD+ Topical Oil and it works better than another leading brand I’ve tried. Balms and salves: Like lip balms or salves you apply to your skin, CBD balms have a thicker texture due to the inclusion of beeswax and comparable elements.
Realistic Topical Cbd Oil Solutions For 2019
Generally talking, only a small amount of CBD cream must be used to cover a comparatively massive floor space. In fact, some clients have commented and provided suggestions that a single 2 oz jar will last them well marijuana lotion over a month of every day use. In fact, application sizes will differ based mostly on each particular person, so just take heed to your body and find an quantity that works for you and your wants.
Speedy Products Of Cbd Oil Topical – A Closer Look
Our evaluations additionally embrace the substances and a description of the scent and texture of every CBD topical. We tried to remain impartial in our descriptions of every product, since each shopper’s expertise is subjective. These are all excessive-quality CBD creams, balms and salves, but you could Cbd Topicals find you prefer one scent over one other. You might love or hate menthol. Some folks desire a lightweight texture, whereas other consumers are in search of CBD topicals to make use of in a therapeutic massage.

I was surprised at the depth of this show, it started out as something silly and quirky and then turned a corner, really digging deep into the world of mental health. I absolutely loved the music and the performances were stellar. Each of the characters showed a wide range of emotional depth and comedic timing. Mad props to Emily Decker for that performance, she truly gave everything to that role and did it justice. The songs were all clever and touching, and the actors left it all out on that stage. Would definitely go back and see again!!
What I didn't like
My overall impression
It’s a fantastic musical that really explores the world of mental health and makes you think. So happy it was the first show i saw this Fringe, perfect way to kick off the festival! Lots of talent in this cast, you won’t be disappointed!

Jalapeno peppers are one of the most popular peppers in the world. With their relatively mild flavor and a good kick of spice, they are versatile peppers that can be used to make various dishes and can even be eaten on their own.
However, jalapeno peppers are harvested during the summer months. Since they only stay good for a few weeks in the refrigerator, this means that you’ll be left without fresh jalapeno peppers for the majority of the year. That is unless you can freeze jalapenos.
Freezing jalapenos is a great way to preserve them for use during the winter months when you cannot purchase fresh ones. To freeze jalapenos you will first need to flash freeze them, then store them in freezer bags until you are ready to use them.
Can I Freeze Jalapenos?
Not only can you freeze jalapenos, but it’s also actually a great way to preserve the peppers beyond their normal lifespan.
If stored in the pantry, jalapenos will usually last a few days before they begin to shrivel up and should be used. They may also sprout or grow moldy when kept in the pantry.
In the refrigerator, they will last slightly longer, usually 1-2 weeks. However, the cool temperatures can sometimes signal to the peppers that it is time to sprout. This can cause your peppers to sprout as soon as they are removed from the refrigerator which can ruin the seeds and flavor.
The best way to preserve jalapenos long-term is by freezing them. This will allow the jalapenos to stay fresh for several months, allowing you to keep high-quality fresh jalapenos for use even in the cold winter months.
2 Methods for Freezing Jalapenos
There are a couple of different options for freezing jalapenos. Depending on how you plan on using your jalapeno peppers, you will want to pick the method that most closely matches your goals.
Some of the most common ways to freeze jalapenos are freezing them whole and slicing them before freezing.
Method 1: Freezing It Whole
The first, and simplest, method for freezing jalapenos is freezing them whole. This method is only recommended if you won’t need to remove the seeds after freezing them and are only planning on roughly chopping them.
That way, when you pull them out all you’ll need to do is give them a rough chop and toss them into the pot. If you freeze them and then try to take the seeds out it will be a more labor-intensive process as the internal structures can disintegrate, making it more difficult to remove the seeds.
Things You’ll Need
- Sharp knife
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Freezer bags
- Airtight container
- Remove the Stems
Even if you are planning on freezing jalapeno peppers whole, it is recommended that you remove the stems before doing so. This will help them pack together better and will simply take out one step after thawing.
To remove the stems you’ll want to take a sharp knife and cut off the stem at its base. Try not to cut too deeply into the pepper as you’re trying to maintain the structure of the pepper throughout this process.
- Flash Freeze
Once all the peppers’ stems have been removed, it’s time to flash-freeze the peppers. This will help to ensure that the peppers do not stick together in their bags once frozen. This makes it easier to only remove and thaw as many peppers as you plan to use.
To flash-freeze your jalapeno peppers you will lay them all out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. When you lay them out make sure they don’t touch each other or they could stick together.
After all the peppers are laid out, place them in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Flash-freezing them will freeze the out layers and the moisture in them, preventing the peppers from sticking together. Once they are flash frozen you can put all of the peppers in a bag together without worrying that they will freeze into one mass of peppers.
- Place Peppers in Freezer Bags
After the peppers are fully frozen you should place them into freezer bags. Once the bags are filled try and squeeze as much of the air out as possible. This will help prevent freezer burn and keep the peppers from drying out too much while in the freezer.
- Place the Bags in an Airtight Container (Optional)
Once the bags are filled you can place them in a large, airtight container in your freezer. This will provide extra protection against the conditions in the freezer and keep them from getting crushed.
Stored in this way the peppers will stay fresh for up to a year and maintain their flavor and spice. However, they will not have the same texture as fresh jalapenos, making them less than ideal for raw use where the crunch is important.
- Wear gloves when handling the peppers
- Don’t overpack the bags
- Make sure to flash freeze
Method 2: Freezing It Pre-Sliced
The next method for freezing your jalapeno peppers is to freeze them after they’ve been sliced. This is a better option if you know exactly how you’re going to be using your peppers and don’t want an additional processing step after they’re thawed.
Slicing your peppers will also allow you to pack more peppers into each freezer bag and save space.
Things You’ll Need
- A sharp knife
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Freezer bags
- Airtight container
- Slice Peppers and Remove the Seeds
The first step in how to freeze jalapenos once they’ve already been sliced is slicing the peppers and removing the seeds. The easiest way to remove the seeds is to cut the peppers lengthwise and then use the knife to remove the seeds in one motion.
After the seeds are removed you can leave the peppers halved or you can continue to chop them down to your desired size. Do your best to cut them to a uniform size so all the pieces freeze at approximately the same rate.
It is recommended that you wear gloves when handling chopped peppers. Jalapeno peppers contain a chemical that can burn and irritate the skin with long-term exposure.
- Flash Freeze the Peppers
Once all the peppers are chopped up it is time to flash-freeze them. This step is especially important when dealing with chopped peppers since they more easily freeze and stick together. If you want to be able to remove only as many peppers as you need, flash-freezing the pieces is a crucial step.
Line the baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper then spread a thin layer of the pepper pieces on the sheet. Try to make sure that they’re only in one layer and that no pieces are stacked on top of each other. You may need multiple trays depending on how many peppers you are freezing.
After the peppers are spread out you’ll place them in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours. This will freeze the moisture in the peppers and keep them from sticking together.
Once two hours have passed the peppers should feel frozen and should no longer feel damp to the touch.
- Store in the Freezer Bags
After the peppers have been fully flash-frozen, it’s time to transfer them to the freezer bags where they will be stored for the next several months.
Since the peppers have been flash frozen you can pack as many of them into the bags as you want without the risk of them freezing together. Just make sure to transfer them quickly so they don’t begin to thaw before you return them to the freezer.
Once the bags are packed you should squeeze all of the air out of the freezer bags. This will help to keep the peppers from drying out and losing too much of their texture. It will also prevent freezer burn which occurs when the outer layers of food begin to dehydrate while the inside stays moist.
- Put Bags in Containers (Optional)
Now that the bags are all packed up you can either throw them directly into the freezer or put the bags into an airtight container. Doing this will help to protect the bags from breaking while they’re in the freezer and give the peppers an additional layer of protection.
- Use gloves when handling sliced peppers
- Make sure to flash freeze in a single layer
- Transfer peppers quickly to avoid thawing
Is It Possible to Use These Methods for Other Peppers As Well?
It is definitely possible to use these methods for other types of peppers as well. As long as the peppers are small, you can freeze them whole without consequence and use the exact same methods listed in this article.
If the peppers are larger, like bell peppers, it may be better to slice them up before freezing them. This will save space and keep the peppers from collapsing in the freezer.
You should also be careful when freezing extremely spicy peppers to use gloves. Some peppers have a chemical that can burn your skin if you are not careful. Wearing gloves can help to prevent this and also maintains sanitation.
If you’d like to preserve fresh jalapeno peppers to be used during the winter, the best way to do this is by freezing the peppers. Frozen jalapeno peppers can stay fresh for up to 1 year when stored correctly and will maintain their spice level and most of their flavor during this time.
You can either freeze jalapeno peppers whole or slice them into pieces before you freeze them. Either way, you’ll want to make sure you flash-freeze them before storing them. This will keep the peppers from sticking together and make it easier to thaw individual peppers.
You should also wear gloves when freezing the peppers. This will prevent the juices from the peppers from irritating your skin.

As with many chronic conditions, there’s a mental health aspect to tinnitus. It isn’t just a matter of coping with the symptoms. It’s coping with the symptoms constantly never knowing for sure if they will go away. Unfortunately, for some people, tinnitus can cause depression.
According to research carried out by the Stockholm Public Health Cohort (SPHC) and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, persistent tinnitus has been associated with an increase in suicide rates, especially among women.
What’s The Connection Between Suicide And Tinnitus?
In order to establish any type of link between suicide and tinnitus, researchers at the SPHC surveyed around 70,000 individuals (Accurate, reliable results require large sample sizes).
Here are some of the results:
- Tinnitus symptoms were described by 22.5% of participants.
- 9% of women with significant tinnitus had suicide attempts.
- Out of the men with significant tinnitus, 5.5% had attempted suicide.
- A hearing professional diagnosed tinnitus in only 2.1% of respondents.
It’s obvious that women with tinnitus have a higher rate of suicide and researchers are trying to raise awareness for them. And most individuals with tinnitus symptoms, according to this research, don’t have their tinnitus diagnosed by a hearing specialist. Not only are there therapies for tinnitus, lots of individuals experience relief by wearing hearing aids.
Are These Universal Findings?
This study must be duplicated in other areas of the world, with different sized populations, and eliminating other variables before we can make any broad generalizations. That being said, we shouldn’t ignore the concern in the meantime.
What Does This Research Mean?
While this research suggests an increased risk of suicide for women with severe tinnitus, the study didn’t draw definitive conclusions as to why women were at greater risk of suicide than men. There are various reasons why this might be but the data doesn’t pinpoint any one reason why this might be.
Some things to take note of:
Not All Tinnitus is “Severe”
Most individuals who experience tinnitus symptoms don’t have “severe” tinnitus. Moderate cases also present their own challenges, of course. But the statistical connection between women with tinnitus and suicide was most pronounced (and, thus, denotes the biggest risk) with those who rated their tinnitus as severe.
Most of The Participants Weren’t Diagnosed
Perhaps the next most shocking conclusion in this research is that fairly few individuals were officially diagnosed with tinnitus, even though they had moderate to severe symptoms.
This is probably the best way to reduce the danger of suicide and other health concerns connected to tinnitus and hearing impairment in general. That’s because treatment for tinnitus can present many overall advantages:
- Tinnitus symptoms can be more effectively managed with treatment.
- Hearing impairment can be treated and tinnitus is frequently a warning sign.
- Depression is often improved with tinnitus treatment.
Tinnitus And Hearing Loss
Up to 90% of individuals who cope with tinnitus also have hearing loss according to some studies and managing hearing loss by using hearing aids can help decrease tinnitus symptoms. As a matter of fact, some hearing aids are made with extra features to help tinnitus symptoms. Make an appointment to find out if hearing aids might help you.

|Articles - June 2013|

BY TIM MCCABE
One of the most important endeavors undertaken by Business Oregon is our assistance — through the Oregon Innovation Council (Oregon InC) and its signature research centers — of young Oregon companies seeking to tap the expertise of Oregon university researchers.
Through programs such as Oregon InC’s High Technology Extension service, the state finds these startups and connects them to state-of-the-art research and development laboratories at signature research centers like the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI) and the Oregon Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies Center (Oregon BEST). Oregon InC provides companies and entrepreneurs with the building blocks they need to survive and become commercial successes. In addition, research and commercialization grants help early-stage companies prove their inventions are commercially viable.
Three Oregon companies provide recent examples of how Oregon InC’s efforts help grow business prospects.
Beaverton startup Puralytics has already found global success with its SolarBag portable drinking-water purification system, which uses a nanotechnology-coated mesh activated by sunlight to purify 3-liter quantities of water in approximately three hours.
Most recently, Oregon BEST provided a $53,000 commercialization grant to enable Puryalytics to work with Oregon State University’s Institute for Water and Watersheds to develop a floating, solar-activated stormwater treatment device that could be deployed in retaining ponds or ditches along roadways and parking lots to keep contaminants from reaching streams.
The Oregon Department of Transportation has already expressed interest in the technology, which has the potential to keep highway surface contaminants from reaching nearby streams, as well as to provide emergency water supplies that meet EPA clean-water standards.
Puralytics, which previously received a $250,000 ONAMI Commercialization Gap grant for its SolarBag technology development, was named a Global Clean Tech Top 100 company in late 2012. The company employs 10 people and expects its 2013 sales to grow tenfold over the previous year’s sales.
Bend startup OnTo Technology received an ONAMI Commercialization Gap grant of $165,000 in 2012 to work at ONAMI’s Microproducts Breakthrough Institute labs in Corvallis to develop a way to recycle material from commonly used lithium cobalt xxide rechargeable batteries.
The company plans to extract materials from spent LCO batteries, fabricate new batteries, and perform functional and safety testing. Company officials believe the growth of waste from consumer electronics and electric vehicles demands the development of rejuvenation processes that are “green,” low energy and cost effective.
Finally, Portland startup Indow Windows continues to benefit from its partnership with Oregon InC. Indow Windows has developed a way to add glazing without replacing windows, reducing heat loss and providing better insulation than the single-pane glass typically found in older homes.
Oregon BEST recently awarded a $150,000 commercialization grant to support advancement of a “new recipe” of window coating being developed by researchers at Oregon State University’s Oregon Process Innovation Center for Sustainable Solar Cell Manufacturing (OPIC). As part of the project, CSD Nano, a Corvallis startup that specializes in antireflective thin-film coatings, hopes to also develop a low-temperature process for applying the coating to Plexiglas for Indow Windows.
These are three examples of how a partnership between Business Oregon, Oregon’s research labs and entrepreneurs results in globally competitive companies and jobs for Oregonians.

Sign The National "Censure Schumer!" Petition NOW!
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) may have thought he was simply delivering an "applause line" in front of a "friendly" crowd of abortion supporters on the front steps of the Supreme Court of the United States on March 4, 2020. But, in fact, it was a totally inappropriate threat against two excellent and esteemed jurists: Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
"I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind," Sen. Schumer yelled. "And you will pay the price! You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
As a direct response to Schumer's hateful rhetoric, Grassfire is empowering our team members to call on Congress for the immediate censure of the Senior Senator from New York. His totally inappropriate verbal attack against the judicial branch, which exists to protect the rights of EVERY AMERICAN, demands a retraction, full apology AND his immediate resignation.13,042 signatures
The "Censure Schumer!" Petition States:

In fact, I think the Senior Senator from New York should resign immediately for his offensive, inappropriate verbal attack on members of the judicial branch.
Americans are tired of the hateful rhetoric that has infected Congress and its so-called "leaders." The fact that it came out of the mouth of the highest-ranking Democrat in the United States Senate is especially troubling. The Senate Minority Leader knows better and should immediately retract his awful, threatening statements, personally apologize to the Justices and resign from the Senate. Please respond to this petition by taking swift action to censure Mr. Schumer and see him removed from office.
Simply add your name to the national "Censure Schumer!" Petition below. Grassfire representatives will hand-deliver your petition to Congress, as soon as Grassfire reaches the important 20,000-signature plateau.

The distance regarding the burner towards the coil while the length of the coil are fixed, and you control water temperature by regulating water flow and burner intensity. Gas heaters require electricity to operate their ignition systems, which means the lack of warm water into the event of a power outage.
Due to the way a tankless heater works, the pressure of the warm water it puts out is not just as much as the pressure regarding the cold water that comes in, and also the difference increases with increasing temperature.

Do you think Snowing will be included in the “those we lost” section of the grammys tonight?
strangest night ever
Tonight I was putting the four Godspeed albums onto a flash drive for a friend of mine who asked me forever ago to hook him up with their music. In the process, I thought it’d be cool to make a CD in addition to that, which would contain the best of their non-album material (in my opinion). Filling up the entire disc took four tracks (lol), including two live cuts and two radio sessions (including the one that shares a name with the title of this post). It was exciting.
I haven’t seriously listened to Godspeed since summer, really, which has worried me a lot. I don’t know why - I think I’m afraid that getting back into them would never live up to my impossibly high expectations, or that no matter how much time I’d set aside to listen again, the listening environment wouldn’t be just right. Either way, I’ve started to drift away, much to my dismay … and then tonight, as I sat in my room throwing this thing together, it all started coming back to me. I remembered why I first fell in love with them, which is an absolutely unbelievable feeling.
I’m listening to ‘Monheim’ as I type this, my heart on the verge of exploding with happiness. I wish I could explain this better.
