Advantages & Disadvantages of Fuel Cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are devices that convert energy stored in molecular bonds into electrical energy.
Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are used to generate large amounts of power.
Since pure water may be enough to generate this kind of energy, hydrogen fuel cells are one of the most promising green energy sources for the future.
In this article, the pros and cons of fuel cells are examined.

- Fuel cells may be THE technology of the future
Greenest energy source
Fuel cells can be regarded to be the greenest energy source known to humanity at the current point in time.
Contrary to conventional energy made out of fossil fuels, hydrogen power does literally not hurt our environment at all if it is generated solely from water.
Moreover, compared to other renewable energies like hydropower or biofuels which require large areas of land for energy production, the generation of hydrogen power does not require the use of large surface space, which makes it even greener since natural habitats can be protected.
Renewable and sustainable
Since hydrogen power can be generated out of water, it is fully renewable and sustainable as long as power production companies have access to sufficient water.
Even though water will become a scarcer resource in the future due to global warming, the water supply for the use of fuel cells should be ensured, especially in the Northern hemisphere of our planet where temperatures should stay on a quite moderate level.
Almost no emissions
In contrast to conventional power sources, the use of hydrogen power does not imply any significant emissions.
Imagine a world in which we could produce almost unlimited power with pollution. Wouldn’t that be great?!
Carbon-free energy source
Unlike conventional fuels which often imply the emission of large amounts of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, fuel cells do not.
In fact, if hydrogen power is fully generated from water and the energy production process is set up properly, there are literally no carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fuel cells at all.
More efficient compared to other energy sources
Fuel cells can also be regarded to be superior in terms of efficiency compared to most other energy sources.
Especially compared to other green energies, hydrogen power has a significant edge and will even improve its advantage in efficiency once research and technology develop further.
Quick charging possible
For cars operated by fuel cells, the charging time is usually quite low and it only takes a few minutes to fuel a car, quite similar to the use of conventional fuels like gasoline.
Thus, the charging time for cars operated by fuel cells is much lower compared to the charging time for electric cars.
Therefore, since people in our nowadays society are often stressed and value their time even more, hydrogen cars may become superior to electric cars at one point in time.
Could be used for advanced challenges
Fuel cells could also be used to fuel spacecraft in order to explore and conquer remote planets and stars in our universe.
If the technological advancements of fuel cells are big enough in the future, chances are that it will be a promising energy source for spacecraft adventures since it has more advantages compared to conventional fossil fuels.
No noise pollution
Contrary to other alternative energies like wind energy, there is literally no noise pollution at all from the use of fossil fuels.
If fuel cells are used in car engines, chances are that the overall noise level from traffic would become much lower since the loud noises from conventional car engines could be avoided, similar to the use of electric cars.
No visual pollution
Other energy sources like biofuels or wind energy often imply significant levels of visual pollution.
Hydrogen power has no real visual pollution effects since hydrogen power plants are quite clean and also do not need plenty of space to operate.
Thus, also in terms of visual pollution, fuel cells could be regarded to be superior compared to other power sources.
Fuel cells can run for a quite long time
Cars that are operated by fossil fuels can make up to 300 miles until they have to be refueled.
Therefore, there are some cars that use fuel cells that can reach similar distances like conventional cars.
Moreover, fuel cells can also be used for several other purposes once technology progresses, which may make it even more attractive.
Hydrogen power may be perfect for remote regions
Especially quite remote regions that are not well connected to the public electricity grid, fuel cells may be a good alternative for energy generation in the next decades.
Imagine people who live in remote areas could produce their own energy by using hydrogen power cells.
This would mean an enormous improvement in living conditions since these people would now be much better connected to the outside world and could be supplied with sufficient energy for their daily lives.
Fuel cells could be used for several devices
Even though hydrogen power is often related to the use for cars, there are plenty of other fields of application for fuel cells.
Clean energy could be used in several parts of our daily life once this technology becomes mature.
This could include small devices like hairdryers or even big ones like heating systems.
Low maintenance efforts and costs
Fuel cells are also known for their low maintenance efforts.
After the initial installation, fuel cells can usually operate for a quite long time without issues.
The maintenance efforts will likely be even lower in the future since technology progresses and processes related to hydrogen power will become even more sophisticated.
Dependence on other countries could be lowered
Many countries all over the world heavily rely on the supply of fossil fuels from countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia.
However, this kind of dependence is quite bad since it also implies significant dependence regarding political decisions.
Thus, by using fuel cells instead, countries could become independent from the supply of fossil fuels from other countries and could therefore also ensure their independence regarding their political attitudes.
Lower dependence on fossil fuel world market prices
The lower level of dependence on fossil fuels that could be accomplished through the expansion of hydrogen power could also lower the dependence on the world market prices for fossil fuels like oil.
Since oil is a fossil fuel that will eventually become depleted, chances are that the world market price for oil will increase over the next decades.
Thus, in order to be not affected by those price increases, countries should expand their use of alternative energies as soon as possible, which may also include the use of hydrogen power in the future energy mix.
Hydrogen fuel cells are scalable
Once the technology behind fuel cells becomes mature, hydrogen power could be used for a huge variety of different devices.
It is also quite easy to scale since the chemical processes behind fuel cells are rather simple and many firms will likely use it for several sorts of household devices as well as for other things of our daily life.
Plenty of room for improvements
Since fuel cells are in a quite early stage of development at the current point in time, there is plenty of room for improvements in the future.
If there is sufficient research on this kind of technology, fuel cells might become the most promising technology in the future.
Hence, researchers all over the world should work together in order to accelerate technological advancements regarding hydrogen power.
Hydrogen power may become much cheaper in the future
Due to extensive research, fuel cells could become even more efficient in the future, which may also lead to lower prices for hydrogen power.
Thus, at one point in the future, hydrogen power may even be cheaper than conventional fossil fuels, which may make its use even more attractive for the general public.
Fuel cells may be THE technology of the future
Due to all those advantages mentioned before, hydrogen power may be the most promising renewable energy source in the future.
In the long run, it may even replace solar or wind energy since it can be considered to be even greener than other alternative energy sources.
Disadvantages of Fuel Cells
- Hydrogen power is not mature yet
- Raw materials for fuel cells are quite expensive
- Not a reliable power source in the current stage
- Still quite an expensive form of power production
- Cars operated by hydrogen power are expensive
- Only a few car firms engage in this technology yet
- Plenty of research necessary
- Durability of hydrogen devices rather low right now
- Sensitivity to temperature changes might be a problem
- Infrastructure around fuel cells is still missing
- Storage issues
- Transportation of hydrogen is quite expensive
- Accidents may get out of control
Hydrogen power is not mature yet
Even though fuel cells might be one of the most promising alternative energy sources in the future, it is not yet a mature technology. In order to improve the processes and the efficiency of hydrogen power, large amounts of money have to be invested and also the political attitude towards fuel cells must change in a more supportive manner.
Raw materials for fuel cells are quite expensive
Since for the production of fuel cells, platinum and other precious materials have to be used, the initial costs for fuel cells could be quite high.
This may deter many private people to invest in this kind of technology.
Not a reliable power source in the current stage
Since the technology behind fuel cells is not mature yet, it can not be considered to be a reliable power source at our current point in time.
Moreover, there are not many occasions and loading stations for hydrogen power devices yet, which makes it not practical to solely rely on fuel cells.
Still quite an expensive form of power production
Although this may change dramatically over the next years or decades, right now, the unit price for power produced from fuel cells is quite high compared to other energy sources.
Even green energies like wind or solar energy can produce energy much cheaper than hydrogen power is able to.
Cars operated by hydrogen power are expensive
Similar to electric cars, also cars that use fuel cells for their engine are often quite expensive compared to conventional cars.
Thus, the incentive for private persons to switch from conventional to hydrogen power cars is rather low, especially for people in low- or middle-income groups which can simply not afford to spend large sums of money for a car.
Only a few car firms engage in this technology yet
Not only car prices related to fuel cells are high, also there is a quite limited number of car companies that engage in this kind of technology yet.
Therefore, there is only a limited number of models people can choose from and if no model fits individual preferences, chances are that people will still rely on conventional cars operated by fossil fuels.
Plenty of research necessary
In order to push hydrogen power to a state where it will be competitive in the alternative energy market in terms of prices and availability, plenty of research has to be done in order to improve the efficiency of processes.
Only then will it be possible to supply a high number of people with energy produced by fuel cells for a reasonable price.
Durability of hydrogen devices rather low right now
The overall lifespan of fuel cell devices is rather low at the current point in time since the technology behind hydrogen power is quite sensitive to extreme conditions.
Thus, the average lifespan of engines that are driven by fuel cells may be much lower compared to other engine types.
Sensitivity to temperature changes might be a problem
Fuel cells are also quite sensitive to changes in temperature, especially to high temperatures.
If temperatures become too high, fuel cells might no longer work properly, which may imply a loss in efficiency and may also lower the lifespan of fuel cell engines.
Infrastructure around fuel cells is still missing
Another big problem related to hydrogen power is that there is simply insufficient infrastructure that supports this kind of technology.
For instance, when using cars that are operated with fossil fuels, there are fuel stations every few miles.
In contrast, when using a car that is operated with fuel cells, it may take quite a long time until there is a fuel station that also provides hydrogen power.
Thus, due to this lack of suitable infrastructure, hydrogen power has a long way to go before it will become a serious alternative to fossil fuels.
There are also serious storage issues related to hydrogen power.
The storage of hydrogen fuel is quite difficult and also implies high costs.
Thus, this storage issue has to be solved before hydrogen power will become a suitable energy source on a broad scale.
Transportation of hydrogen is quite expensive
Not only the storage, but also the transportation of hydrogen fuel is costly and expensive and has to be done with great care since hydrogen fuel is flammable and may lead to disasters if these transportation processes are not carried out properly.
Accidents may get out of control
Accidents related to hydrogen power should not be underestimated.
If the production of hydrogen power is not done in a safe manner, explosions may cause serious damage and may also lead to the death of many workers.
Hence, overall safety measures are crucial in order to avoid fatalities related to hydrogen power accidents.

Editor, writer, painter, designer, photographer, expeditioner, conservationist, Renaissance man, and a Kathmandu everyman
The flowers in the Shangrila Hotel garden in Lazimpat were newly planted, and the trees still small and immature. I sensed Desmond's arrival without turning in my chair – the air was charged with energy as he swept onto the lawn with a posse of acolytes and armfuls of architectural drawings. Desmond was never one to travel alone. “Hello, la. What a glorious day!” he called to me, before issuing instructions with much arm waving to those in his wake.
Although his name may no longer be a household word in Kathmandu and Kolkata - “Cal” as he called it - his lyrical influenceand ringing enthusiasm still reverberates. Desmond was an editor, writer, painter, designer, photographer, expeditioner and conservationist – a Renaissance man, although more accurately a Kathmandu everyman. After he retired here in the late 1970s, his passion for the Valley’s magic never failed to inspire us, and he delighted in its vibrant living artistry and people – the “ethnic mosaic” and “crucible of culture” to use his own words.
Born of Anglo Irish parents in India, Desmond studied in Kurseong, served with the Gurkhas in WWII, and made his name as a reporter with The Statesman. His weekly Artist’s Impressions series captured Calcutta’s fast-vanishing old buildings and monuments before they disappeared forever. As founding editor of The Junior Statesman, a cult youth magazine of yesteryear known as just JS, he hired a team of legendary journos including Jug Suraiya and Dubby Bhagat. He was first to bring the world’s attention to an obscure Albanian nun named Mother Teresa, and with his friend Sir Edmund Hillary pursued a 1963 quest for the yeti in the high Himalaya.
Desmond’s sure taste and design style can still be enjoyed in the oasis gardens of the Malla and Shangrila hotels that he landscaped, and the original concept of the Shangrila Hotel reflects his legacy. His poetic watercolours and delicate drawings decorate the walls of many Kathmandu homes, including my own, presenting the verdant Valley that he loved so intensely and recalling altogether more innocent times. I also have the only known oil that Desmond ever painted, a portrait of me in 1980 adorned with enigmatic griffin imagery.
Once ensconced in the cosy, chaotic Panipokhari house opposite the then-American Embassy, Desmond’s myriad talents seemed to blossom in the sparkling air of his beloved “emerald valley”. Kakani and Tiger Tops were occasional escapes, but mainly Desmond was hard to extract from his home. His book titles show the whimsical nature of his attachment: Look Back in Wonder, In the Kingdom of the Gods, and My Kind of Kathmandu, the volume that his best friend Dubby Bhagat faithfully produced to honour his memory, and which many moons ago they entrusted me with the grave responsibility of delivering the suitcase of original watercolours to his London publisher.
Desmond’s friendships ranged through Himalayan royalty to the most humble of artists and artisans. He was unfailing in his encouragement of the young and talented. Occasionally he would take time out to commentate a movie or help me with a special event. He persuaded his protégé Yeshe Tshering (now my brother-in-law) to be the Great Khan with Hollywood actor Michael York as Marco Polo for a rather dubious commercial. (“How did you get here, Marco Polo?” “In a way, Great Khan, that you can never imagine. On Cathay Pacific Airlines!”)
It was Desmond’s idea to arrange the first lamp-lit al fresco dinner in Bhaktapur’s Nyatapola Square to celebrate travel pioneer Lars-Eric Lindblad’s birthday.One of his best stories was taking a group of posh Brits on a sightseeing tour of Kathmandu. As the bus paused in the heart of Durbar Square, a fruity voice rang out disapprovingly from the back seat: “Awful lot of people hanging around doing nothing!”
Desmond’s eclectic dinners usually featured Burmese curries with coconut, peels of laughter, and conversation resounding with tales of historic Himalayan personalities – imitations of Sikkim queen Hope Cook’s voice were a speciality. He loved rural picnics and special occasions, and contributed the“From Ballet to Belly” cake at Boris Lisanevich’s 75th birthday party. The then-British Ambassador was a particular favourite, memorable for his vague demeanour and fondness for gin-and-tonics, and for the lunch when he mistook a poached egg starter for “lovely fish”. Dubby and I were still laughing about “lovely fish” last time we met.

The College of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni College of Dentistry is collaborating with Stanford College on an formidable program aimed toward bridging the hole between biomedical analysis and medical follow.
A $3.8 million grant was just lately awarded by the Nationwide Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Analysis of the Nationwide Institutes of Well being to fund the Pacific-Stanford PRIMED Program.
New information on oral illness prevention and medical care is consistently rising, however a lot of it doesn’t make it into medical practices. The five-year grant will permit Pacific to coach the subsequent era of medical oral health researchers who’re outfitted to translate analysis into follow.
There may be additionally a rising want for extra clinician-scientists within the workforce.
This system will rework dental training on the Dugoni College by making medical analysis coaching obligatory for all first-year college students and residents.
“Our college students shall be in a distinct league in comparison with dental graduates across the nation,” mentioned Rebecca Moazzez, professor and chair of the Dept. of Preventive and Restorative Dentistry and director of the Middle for Innovation and Translation at Pacific. “Not solely will they’ve their wonderful dental coaching, however they’ll now additionally obtain wonderful medical analysis coaching, along with a certificates from Stanford College, which is able to equip them for practice-based analysis right here on the dental college, and sooner or later, of their personal practices.”
Analysis research performed as a part of the coaching will concentrate on three areas: oral most cancers, sleep drugs and creating a Pacific-Stanford biobank.

With shooting kicking off on Anchorman: The Legend Continues, the cast continues to grow, with Dylan Baker and Meagan Good signing on to join the comedy ensemble for this much-anticipated sequel, according to Deadline.
Meagan Good, who currently stars in the TV drama Deception, will play the new boss of the Action 4 News team, which consists of Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), Champ Kind (David Koechner), and Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd). No details have been release about Dylan Baker’s character. Christina Applegate, James Marsden, and Kristen Wiig also star.
Yesterday we reported that John C. Reilly may have signed on to the movie, based on casting notice that was asking for Reilly look-alikes. However, a studio representative shot down the rumor with the odd explanation,
“We were looking for a stand-in for lighting purposes who looks like John C. Reilly. We always demand that every stand-in looks like John C. Reilly.” He may well still be in the movie, but it seems they don’t want to announce if officially yet.
The film will follow the Action 4 News team in the late 1970s, as they deal with the sweeping changes in broadcast news brought on by the advent of the 24-hour news cycle.

For a long time, I wasn’t a writer.
I had dreamed about it, but I didn’t have anything that proved it. Nothing had been written.
Evading and denying my inner writer caused great anguish and uncertainty in my life. Later, I found some solace because my work involved writing, but deep down, that wasn’t enough.
It was writing, sure, but it wasn’t my writing. Copywriting is all about writing for someone else in someone else’s voice, after all. But it paid the bills.
Writing to you every day changed everything. Just that tiny bit of doing, and suddenly, I was.
It’s not like it’s easy writing every day. Some days, it’s not even enjoyable. But I write every day because that is what writers do.
Doing is being. Either we do, or we’re not.
But when we are, and we don’t, that’s when things get really messy.

by Jennifer L Armentrout
Published by Evil Eye Concepts, Incorporated
The King must have his Queen....
Bestowed the forbidden Summer’s Kiss by the King of the Summer fae, Brighton Jussier is no longer just human. What she is, what she will become, no one knows for sure, but that isn’t her biggest concern at the moment. Now Caden, the King, refuses to let her go, even at the cost of his Court. When the doorway to the Otherworld is breached, both Brighton and Caden must do the unthinkable—not just to survive themselves, but also to save mankind from the evil that threatens the world.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
RATED: 18+ CATEGORY: MOOD:
Steamy New Adult Exciting
The Queen by Jennifer L. Armentrout is the third novella in the Wicked series, and continues immediately after The King left off, continuing Brighton's, and Caden's story.
I loved The Queen. I love all three of the novella's that have come out in the Wicked series, actually. The story is original, intriguing, and action packed. With a dash of humor, and a sprinkling of romance and sex, The Queen is an awesome addition to the series. I think my only issue, is the story feels incomplete. It ends very open ended. We could be left to form our own conclusions, or, Jennifer has another set of novellas planned (as The Queen is the final book in The Summer King Novellas)
The Queen's core characters have remained consistent throughout the series. This novella covers a very short span. Maybe two weeks, so there isn't much to look at for character growth, except perhaps them all learning a lesson on honesty. Brighton and Caden's relationship remains one of my favorite couples from Jennifer's work. Brighton's sweet and kind persona, mixed with her courage and strength, is a wonderful match to how Caden acts when he is King, and when he is only with her. He is kind, and fair, but is brutal when he has to be. Very much like Brighton. We get way more Tink in The Queen, which is great, considering we barely saw him in The King. We get a little bit on Ren and Ivy, and in the epilogue, which I assume is around two years in the future, we get an update on our favorite couples from this series that puts a smile on your face.
Ultimately, whether The Queen was the end for the series as a whole (PLEASE, JENNIFER, NO. I NEED MORE TINK!), it is a great addition to Wicked's universe, and an excellent ending for Brighton and Caden's story. I am left hoping for more stories ... maybe with Fabian and Tink? Maybe with the newest character introduced in the epilogue? That would be pretty cool! Just saying <3

Luce: "A child of a King would be incredibly strong, even at this stage and inside a human incubator."
Brighton: "Human incubator? Can you please never refer to be as that again?"
Luce: "You're his mortuus."
Brighton: "Why would you say that?"
Luce: "It's the only reason he would be willing to forsake his entire Court. That goes beyond love, beyond what most of us can even fathom. It's a connection of two souls and two hearts. It's rare for any fae to find their mortuus, but to do so with a human? I ... No one can know what you are to him. That kind of information is far too dangerous. You're safe here, but if it were to get out -"
Brighton: "I know."
Luce: "Fate can be so cruel sometimes."
Brighton: "It really can."
Luce: "You've survived what I am sure many have succumbed to - too many to count. And to put my people before your own needs, to sacrifice what you must feel for the King for people who will never know what you were willing to give up? That makes you as brave as any warrior, if not more."
Luce: "I don't know if it will be enough. I feat that what is done is done."
Brighton: "What do you mean?"
Luce: "I don't think you'll be able to walk away from the king. That there will be anything that you can do to cause him to choose a Queen that is not you. You're his mortuus, the other half of his soul, his heart. And it is very unlikely that he'll give you up. Ever."
Caden: "It's okay. I'm here. I've got you. I've always got you."
Caden: "Your name is Brighton Jussier. Your friends sometimes call you Bri. Tink calls you Lite Bright. I call you my sunshine. Do you know why? It's because I saw you smile once, and it was like the sun finally rising after centuries of nothing but night."
Caden: "I missed that little catch in your breath. I missed the taste of you on my tongue."
Brighton: "Please come in."
The door didn't open. Confused, I looked at Caden, who sighed.
Caden: "It's okay. You may come in, Tanner."
My brows lifted
Caden: "I'm the King."
Brighton: "I don't recall asking you to stay with me or giving you permission."
Caden: "I don't recall needing either of those things."
Brighton: "Are you serious? Of course, you need my permission to stay at my house."
He glared up at me
Caden: "Under normal circumstances, yes. But when it's to keep you out of harm's way, I don't."
Brighton: "Yeah, that's not some unspoken law or something. And even if it were, I don't need to follow it. I'm not fae. You're not my king."
Caden: "I know exactly what I am to you. This isn't up for discussion."
Brighton: "That we can agree on, because you're not staying with me."
His smile was slow, predatory.
Caden: "Then you're staying with me."
Brighton: "No, I'm not! I'm staying here until I can go home at the end of the week and sleep in my own bed -"
Caden: "I like where this is heading."
Tanner made a choking sound
I stepped forward
Brighton: "By myself. I'm going home at the end of the week. By myself."
He quirked a brow.
Caden: "We'll see."
Tanner: "Aric is dead, and if what he said was true, which is unlikely, no Summer fae would seek to harm her, especially not here."
Caden: "I will rip the skin from any fae who even has the smallest inkling of looking at her in a way I do not like."
My eyes widened
Brighton: "That's a bit excessive."
Caden didn't take his gaze from me.
Caden: "That's your opinion."
Brighton: "That's a mentally healthy opinion."
Caden: "You know damn well that it's not excessive."
Caden: "And that is why we need to be extra cautious. I will not allow harm to come to you. Not again. Never again."
Brighton: "I can protect myself, Caden."
Caden: "Didn't say you couldn't, but why should you have to do that by yourself?"
Brighton: "Because I always have."
Caden: "But things are different. You have me now. You have all of me."
Tink: "I could've done something. I could've looked for you. I could've found -"
Brighton: "No one was able to find me. Not even the King until ... until he did. You would've just been worrying and -"
Tink: "And that's what I should've been doing. You're my Lite Bright. I'm your Tink. I should've known. And I may or may not punch Ivy when I see her."
Brighton: "Don't punch Ivy."
Tink: "Not even a little?"
Tink: "How about a love tap?'
A sob settled in the back of my throat as I shook my head no.
Tink: "What about when I'm tiny Tink-sized with teeny-tiny fists?"
I choked on a laugh
Brighton: "Ren would still skewer you with a toothpick."
Tink: "I'd punch him first. He had it coming since I had to unexpectedly see his junk in Ivy's kitchen."
Brighton: "I've missed you."
Tink: "Of course, you did. I'm awesome."
Tink: "He said you killed him. Aric?"
Brighton: "I did."
Tink: "Is there anything left of his body?"
Brighton: "Um, no. He sort of just disintegrated, like most Ancients."
Tink: "Not even ashes?"
Brighton: "I don't think so."
Tink: "I'll ask the King."
Tink: "Because I want to take a shit on his remains."
Brighton: "Oh my God. That is so disgusting."
I laughed again.
Tink: "I know. It's the most disrespectful thing I can think of."
Tink: "It could be that post-traumatic syndrome thing that sometimes causes people to hoard things in their houses."
I arched a brow
Brighton: "You watch way too much television."
Tink: "But I could be right. You experienced some trauma. Hearing voices, reliving the events is pretty common afterwards, according to Dr. Phil."
I stared at him.
Tink: "After I saw Ren's junk, I kept seeing it. Sometimes, it would talk to me -"
Brighton: "You're a mess."
Tink: "You have the love and devotion of a King. Granted, he's not human, but who in their right mind would swipe left on him?"
Tink: "I'm offended."
Brighton: "Are you now?"
Tink: "Yes. I'm Tink. We're roomies. We have joint custody of Dixon."
My brows puckered
Brighton: "We do not have joint custody of your cat."
Tink: "Not true. He sleeps in your bed. That means we have joint custody whether you're aware of it or not."
Brighton: "I'm pregnant."
Tink blinked slowly
Tink: "With a baby?"
Brighton: "What other thing would I be pregnant with?"
Tink: "I'm going to be the godfather."
Kalen: "Thoughts and prayers for that child."
He leaned in, resting his forehead against mine.
Tink: "You know what I think?"
Tink: "I think you'll make a good mom. After all, I'm one hell of a test run."
Ivy: "Are Fabian and Tink still out in the courtyard?"
Ren: "Yeah, I have no idea what they're doing. I should probably go annoy them."
Tink turned on what had to be his favorite movie, oblivious to Fabian's long-siffering sigh, Twilight.
Tink: "Do you ever wonder why Bella couldn't just have both Jacob and Edward?"
Tink: "I mean, Edward has been alive for a while, so he's gotta get bored with the same old, same old. And Jacob is a wolf. I'm sure both have seen and done stranger things. Plus, sharing is caring."
I stared at him and then gave a shake of my head.
Brighton: "No, I've never thought about that."
Tink: "You have boring thoughts then."

Some Scarborough residents are planning a town hall meeting to rally the community and prevent terrorist Omar Khadr from returning to his east-end home.
A number of Scarborough residents were meeting on Wednesday to plan against Khadr’s return to Canada in months after spending a decade in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for terrorism offences.
“We need to have our voices heard,” said activist Shobie Kapoor, who has created an online petition calling for Khadr to stay away from Canada. “We are trying to find out what our options are when he (Khadr) returns to the community.”
Kapoor said at least 20 area residents, and a number of groups, have banned together to keep Khadr out of Scarborough, where he was born. No date has been set for a town hall meeting.
Her group plans to post flyers near homes where Khadr will be staying with family members. Members of the Canadian Hindu Advocacy have twice posted flyers near Khadr grandfather’s home on Khartoum Ave.
The group has formed Canadian Patriots Unite Against Terrorist Omar Khadr to help with the fight.
Khadr pleaded guilty in October 2010 to committing a war crime by throwing a grenade in Afghanistan that killed an American soldier, when he was 15-years-old in 2002.
A plea agreement cut the offender’s 40-year jail sentence down to eight years, and made Khadr eligible for transfer to Canada last fall.
Meanwhile, more than 3,500 Canadians have signed an Internet petition to keep him out.
“Are we out of our freaking minds allowing this guy back in the country,” asked Leroy Cassanova, of Oakville. ”Why don’t we just allow al Qaida to set up a training camp here instead?”
Piotr Kupka, of Missisauga, said Khadr won’t change and “will always be a threat to Canada.”
Karen Wood, of Barrie, said the Khadr family should be sent packing.
“This animal and his family should be removed and banned from Canada, or be imprisoned for life for high treason,” Wood said.
John Johnson, of Toronto, said taxpayers money should not be used on Khadr.
“No taxpayer money should be spent on this piece of garbage,” Johnson wrote.
“I will not be with the bleeding hearts welcoming him if he returns to Canada.”
Christa Robbins, also of Toronto, said Khadr has to be kept out of the country.
“Why would we let more terrorists in when people who are in need have a hard time getting here,” Robbins said
Roberta Zutautas, of North York, said Khadr has shown no remorse for killing a U.S. soldier.
“This man is an avowed terrorist with no remorse for his crimes and his family appears to support his terrorism,” Zutautas said.

How do you install duct sleeves?
Slide it over the bag. And then once the insulation is on you can pull it out and you won’t get anyMore
What is the formula of insulation?
The R-Value is calculated as R = l/λ where l = the thickness of the material in metres and λ (lambda) is the thermal conductivity of the material in W/m.K.
How do you insulate sheet metal?
Install rigid foam insulation over the entire surface of the roof. Place the sheets close together but don’t let them overlap. Use duct tape to seal the seams and further protect against moisture/air leaks. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, install the metal roofing panels over the insulation.
How do you calculate volume of a duct?
Measure the length of the round duct run. Multiply the area by the length to get the volume in cubic feet. (If the 8-inch duct run is 50 feet long, the volume of the duct would be 17.4 cubic feet).
How do you secure a flex duct?
So make sure whoever’s doing your install. That they’re using Panduit straps if they’re really meMore
What is a duct starting collar?
A starting collar is used to connect a flat surface like a duct board to a round pipe duct. Our wide selection of starting collars features a variety of manufacturers, designs and nominal sizes and will accommodate any and every HVAC project.
Should I insulate around ductwork?
Air ducts typically are not insulated, creating costly heating and cooling losses. You can insulate the round air ducts serving your rooms with standard insulation batts or special-purpose duct insulation. Insulating your air ducts can save 10 percent to 30 percent on energy bills while improving comfort.
What is the R value of Great Stuff foam?
Two-part closed cell spray foams have R values ranging from R-5 to R-6.1 per inch. Single-part Great Stuff™ sealants are used to fill smaller areas where air and moisture can flow.
How heat resistant is great stuff?
The foam can be used at temperatures from +5°C to +25°C. The cured foam is semi-rigid and predominantly close-celled. It is resistant to temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C and to ageing, but not to UV-rays. Noise and heat insulation values are excellent.
Can expanding foam be used in wet conditions?
But as far as it’s durability when coming into direct contact with flowing water, expanding foams like Great Stuff Pond and Stone are designed to meet the demands of wet locations.
Can you get fireproof expanding foam?
Fire rated expanding foam can be used as an efficient seal against smoke and gas, providing up to 240 minutes fire rating. As well as being useful due to its excellent filling characteristics, fire rated foam has high thermal properties and provides acoustic insulation.
Can you add ductwork to existing ductwork?
If your current HVAC and ductwork system is a little (or a lot) too big, then yes, you likely can tap into existing ductwork and adequately heat all the spaces in your home.
What is double wall ductwork?

The report reviews key trends in the media sector across the UK, and put the recent decline in subscriptions down to cost of living concerns among UK households.
However, the report also said that “cancellations do not necessarily represent customers that have been lost for good.” Ofcom’s survey of subscribers who cancelled earlier this year found that almost three quarters (73%) of customers said they thought they would resubscribe – “reflecting the flexibility that allows customers to pick up and drop subscriptions depending on changes in programmes, needs or circumstances.”
The report also looked at challenges for public service broadcasters. It said that while viewing figures of more than 10 million for the Women’s Euro 2022 final and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee “show that broadcast television is still a popular choice for momentous national events, public service broadcasters continue to see both audiences and levels of viewing fall.”
However, there was better news for the PSBs on-demand ‘player’ apps. Overall, 82% of people said they used a PSB on-demand service in the past six months, roughly the same proportion who said they used at least one streaming service (83%). Six in ten (59%) viewers said they used these platforms to watch channels or programmes live at the time they are broadcast.
As a result, the average time spent watching services such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and All 4 increased to 15 minutes per day, up by three minutes per person per day, bucking the trend of post-pandemic declines in viewing time.
And BBC iPlayer has a high level of satisfaction across all age groups, with over four in five (81%) of those who had used it recently saying they were satisfied with the service.
The report also looked at the generational divide in viewing habits finding that younger adults now watch almost seven times less scheduled TV than those aged 65 and over.
People aged 16-24 spend less than an hour (53 minutes) in front of broadcast TV in an average day – a fall of two-thirds in the last ten years.
In contrast, those aged 65 and over still spend around a third of their waking day enjoying broadcast TV, sitting down for almost six hours (5 hours and 50 minutes) daily. This is actually slightly higher than a decade ago.
The report found that around a fifth of homes (5.2 million) subscribe to all three of the most popular platforms – Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ – costing around £300 per year.
Nine in ten 18-24-year-old adults bypass TV channels and head straight to streaming, on-demand and social video services when looking for something to watch, with Netflix the most common destination.
However, six in ten (59%) 55-64-year-olds and 76% of those aged 65+ still turn to TV channels first.

Liquid Nitrogen In This Week’s Ingredient Watch
Liquid nitrogen is often used in electronics and part of aesthetic skin care, such as the removal of warts. Moreover, liquid nitrogen can also be found in certain foods. Unfortunately, the FDA has recently issued an alert about the dangers associated with consuming liquid nitrogen.
Where can it be found?
Liquid nitrogen is often used due to its aesthetic appeal. Bartenders add it to cocktails to create a foggy cloud above the drinks and the same is done with other foods such as colourful cereal or cheese puffs. In fact, when such foods are sold in malls and kiosks, they are actually marketed with names like Dragon’s Breath and nitro puff.
Why is it bad for us?
According to the alert issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming foods with liquid nitrogen can cause serious health issues such as internal organ damage. Moreover, inhaling it can also cause difficulty in breathing,
“The FDA has become aware of severe — and in some cases, life-threatening — injuries, such as damage to skin and internal organs caused by liquid nitrogen still present in the food or drink” the FDA said in their alert, “There has also been a report of difficulty breathing after inhaling the vapor released by liquid nitrogen when added immediately before consumption. Injuries have occurred from handling or eating products prepared by adding liquid nitrogen immediately before consumption, even after the liquid nitrogen has fully evaporated due to the extremely low temperature of the food.”
Also, while the preparation of some frozen goods such as ice cream does include the use liquid nitrogen, the FDA assures that this process is completely safe due to the fact that this method results in the complete disappearance of the liquid nitrogen before anyone has the chance to consume it.
The FDA advises that those who believe that they may have suffered liquid-nitrogen related injuries, consult their doctors immediately before reporting the injury to the FDA.

User:MAE 277 2011 Group10
The work proposal will give an overview of how Group 10 plans to reverse engineer the motorcycle engine from a Honda CBR600F2 (1991-94). Group 10 will be using current skills, and developing engineering skills to our best ability to dissect, assemble and asses the Honda CBR600F2 engine given to us. Group 10 will use tools in the lab that will be instrumental in the dissection and assembly phases. Since the engine will be shared, communication with the other group working on the engine will be crucial. The proposal will give a close estimate of when each gate will be started as well as when each gate should be completed. Since another group will also be working on the same engine, our days that we will be able to work in the lab may be somewhat different than originally proposed. Also included in the proposal is a brief, honest, summary of capabilities and shortcomings each member that our group possesses. The only initial challenge that our group has identified is that of finding all of the correct tools since there are many different components to be removed.
Dissection and Assembly
Our plan for dissection and assembly includes spending time in the lab as a group, but more importantly having a firm understanding of the engine outside of the lab. We will need strong background knowledge of the Honda motorcycle engine in terms of functions of each part in the engine, where each part is/goes, and why the part is included in the engine. Having sufficient background knowledge of the engine will be necessary in order for our group to be successful in dissection and assembly processes. Group 10 plans on dissecting the motor by breaking down the major sub-systems and analyzing each of the smaller members that make up each of the sub-systems. A log is to be kept in detail for the dissection process, enabling the re-assembly process in the future. This log will have to be used by both groups dissecting the engine so no detail is missed by either group.
Floor Jack: To support and maneuver engine. Torque Wrenches: To put bolts back in their position with the correct tightness. Metric Sockets: To remove bolts holding parts together. Allen Wrenches: To remove fasteners. Screw Drivers: To remove Flathead and Philips screws and fasteners. Valve-Spring Compressor: To remove valve springs. Snap-Ring Pliers: To remove snap ring fasteners. Rubber Mallet: To loosen and re-assemble pressed components without damage.

Will be responsible for conveying information from within the group to outside sources, and vice-versa. This includes upkeep of the wiki page, relaying any necessary information between teachers and the group members, and taking care of necessary communication between the other group sharing the engine.
Will be responsible for ensuring that the group members are aware of the specifics of the engine being dissected. He will research and be aware of the purpose of each part and how it contributes to the operation of the engine.
Will be responsible for the clear depiction of the process and parts involved in this project, creating virtual models of the engine, detailing the operation of the engine, and visually representing the proposed improvements on the product. This role may share similar functions with the Communication Liaison, as the representations done by the Delineator will be a large part of what is posted on the wiki page.
Honda began development of the CBR600F2 in early 1989, and it was officially launched to the public in 1991 to replace the CBR600F1. The purpose of the engine was to re-establish Honda’s position in the mid-level category of sport bikes and to provide a successful replacement to the F1. This saw the first 600 engine to boast 100 bhp from the factory along with 47 lb-ft of torque. At its time of production, emphasis was not heavily put on environmental friendliness, but more so on performance. Even so, the engine still managed an impressive 46 miles per gallon which continues to be comparable to many new engines today. The F2 was marketed globally, but had the greatest level of success in Japan, Europe, and the US. An extreme attention to detail and an obsessive drive to maximize efficiency made the F2 the fastest middleweight money could buy and it was marketed accordingly. It was catered to the enthusiast of the time who wanted the utmost performance at a reasonable price.
The new 600 engine was designed to power the CBR600F2 motorbike. It is a four stroke, gasoline powered combustion engine utilizing liquid cooling. The cycle is completed in four stages, the first of which is the intake stroke, where the crankshaft pulls the piston from the top of the cylinder to the bottom creating a limited vacuum. This causes air and fuel to be pulled into the cylinder from the carburetor. The second stage is compression, where the piston is forced up to the top of the cylinder again, compressing the air and fuel mixture. The third stage is the power stroke, which is where the air and fuel mixture is ignited by the spark when the piston reaches the top of the cylinder after compression. The mixture expands quickly and pushes the piston back down to the bottom of the cylinder, turning the crankshaft and producing power that is translated to the rear wheel, moving the bike forward. The engine was designed for recreational use by the public but also with professional racing in mind. The F2 was used as a mode of transportation, source of entertainment, and a performance engine that was used to compete in international racing series.
The inline 4-cylinder engine used in the PC25 is an example of an internal combustion engine which follows the same profile for energy use/exchanges. Firstly, it might be best to start with the exiting energy of the system. Energy is expelled from the system in the form of mechanical work, propelling the rear wheel, and as thermal energy in the form of the hot exhaust gases leaving the engine. Chemical and electrical energy provide the fuel for this reaction. The combustion reaction results from the ignition of an air/fuel mixture converting chemical energy in the air and gasoline and the electrical energy of the spark plug to mechanical energy as a rapidly expanding gas. This initial conversion of chemical and electrical energy to mechanical energy is lead by a series of mechanical energy interactions in the form of mechanical work through the pistons to the connecting rods to the crankshaft and eventually to the wheel. Ideally, the total quantity of energy entering the system would be the same as the energy leaving the system. In this case, the sum of the internal energy of the air/fuel mixture would equal the work done on the wheels and the thermal energy released by the exhaust. However, in reality, energy efficiency is often not higher than 18-20% in naturally-aspirated engines. Losses are largely due to heat and friction. The PC25 engine was commended for its improvement in efficiency over the previous model, as Honda made a relentless effort to reduce the internal friction, resulting in a 17% gain in power with the same cylinder displacement.
A 599cc 4-cylinder, using common knowledge alone, has a couple main components with many other minor components and hundreds of smaller parts that they are composed of. Without dissection, it is still obvious that there is an engine block, with pistons and connecting rods. There is a crankshaft housed in between the block and oil pan. Mounted onto the top of the block is the head where a series of intake and exhaust valves and two camshafts reside. Entering the head are four carburetors fed by an intake manifold and air box. There is an ignition system with four spark plugs and associated wiring. Given the usual and proven convention of engines used in transportation devices in the last 75 years or so, this knowledge is obvious without too much inspection. However, not all engines are exactly the same and motorcycle engines are again different than the more common automobile engine. The components are largely mechanical, with the exception of the ignition system, which is electrically operated. As a result, most parts are moving and because it is a motorcycle engine they are moving fast, (a typical motorcycle has a rev-limiter set above 10,000 rotations per minute). To ensure proper engine balance and to prevent malfunction, each part must be machined precisely with low tolerances. Due to this aspect, the engine may be considered complex. The careful interaction of the individual components with each other is what enables the engine to function.
Most moving parts in the engine are made of some type of metal, for longevity and strength concerns. With the exception of seals, or other minor parts, the engine block and head are mostly metal, with the head most likely made of cast aluminum—as indicated by its pale color and distinct texture. The block will have been made with a metal stronger than aluminum: perhaps cast iron to cope with the stress of the expanding gases and moving cylinders. The airbox is made of plastic to save weight, considering it is not a component exposed to deformative heat and because the only thing moving through it will be air. Many of the other caps and covers that will not be exposed to either heat or mechanical stress are also plastic or rubber, like the seals between the intake ports and the carburetors. The exposed gears are most likely made of a purposefully hardened metal to maintain the crucial distance between teeth of other gears in contact.
The user does not directly interact with the engine, as there are mechanisms employed to translate engine activity to intuitive and easy-to-use controls. The spring-loaded butterfly valves on the carburetors are linked to the throttle control on the handlebars, providing total control of the engine to the rider. The throttle control is sensitive to human logic; the faster you pull on the throttle, the faster the bike will accelerate. The concept of a hand-controlled throttle and foot-operated transmission is one that is used on most bikes, and thus is a configuration that motorcycle owners are all familiar with. Regular maintenance is required on this product to ensure longevity and full functionality. These include oil changes and oil filter replacements after every 8,000 miles recorded, radiator fluid changes every two years, and air filter changes every 12,000 miles. General maintenance also calls for simply the cleaning and inspection of many components like the carburetor choke, idle speed and synchronization, valve clearance and the cooling system. These can all be done given the proper tools and a little experience, although most can be done very easily without any.
The CBR600F2 easily reached the top of the middleweight sports bike category, with several magazines even claiming it the best motorcycle money can buy. The overall improvement of the CBR600 over the previous model made it a consumer surprise and a proven performer. With lighter, stronger suspension components, a more powerful engine and better brakes, the riding experience was unparalleled to any of its competitors. Taking cues from the racing industry, the bike was able to satisfy the performance demands of biking enthusiasts while still providing transportation at low transportation costs. However, sacrifices are still made in the comfort department due to the aggressive riding position. Drivability is also primarily limited to fair-weather days, and almost entirely rule out the winter season. A side-by-side (performance) comparison was found of a Honda CBR600F2 versus a Kawasaki ZZR600 where the conclusion was made that the Honda was a little bit slower in a straight line but was much more composed in the corners, being able to handle faster corners more accurately than the competition. A market comparison of performance was illustrated in a graph below where a reliable measure of a motorcycle’s acceleration, the power-to-weight ratio, was calculated for several market competitors to the CBR600F2. Another market comparison is shown below where the used prices of a 1994 model of each of the four motorcycles are compared.

US is preparing to launch a successful antidepressant tour starting November 8.
Referring to this, Kevin Munoz, assistant to the press secretary at the White House, tweeted announcing: “Travel Prophecy A new US tour that will require vaccinations for foreign travelers to the United States will begin on November 8. Today’s announcement takes place. applies to both international and domestic flights, but is subject to change. “
The vaccines are said to be approved by India, China, Great Britain, South Africa, Iran, and Brazil, as well as by 26 European countries, including France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and Greece. The United States until November 8.
In order for the COVID system to visit the United States, those from the country will be required to demonstrate proof of immunization before boarding the plane and will be asked to submit a negative test for COVID-19. According to this report, foreign nationals traveling by land do not want to show evidence of a negative COVID-19 test. Additionally, the CDC plans to issue new rules for contacting foreign airlines.
Regarding travel restrictions, since March 2020 the US government has banned unnecessary travel by land and air to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. There are other restrictions on air travel for 33 countries, including India, China, Brazil, and several European countries. The US government announced on September 30 that it would lift restrictions on flights from 33 countries, including India and China, in November, although it did not specify a date.

As the sales market becomes increasingly subdued, the cost of renting a home in the South West has continued to rise as many would-be buyers find themselves unable to take their first steps on the property ladder.
The latest survey carried out by the Royal Institution of Charterer Surveyors states that the cost of renting a residential property in the South West has risen by 2.6% in the last twelve months. The RICS survey goes on to explain that this rise in rents is underpinned by a fall in good quality new properties coming on to the market.
This is a trend that is supported by recent research by Rightmove, whose ‘Little Blue Book’ of property trends states that in the last twelve months alone, search activity for rental property on Rightmove rose by 40% while available stock to rent fell by 3%.
Evidence of the South West’s strong rental market is borne out by a new report published by Endsleigh in which the specialist letting agents’ insurer placed Bath as the fifth priciest town or city for tenants in the UK. According to Endsleigh, the average cost of renting a property in the city is £963 per month – more than £257 above the national average. The report goes on to show the average monthly rent across the UK rose for the third year running in 2011 to £706 – compared with £688 in 2010 and £663 in 2009.
RICS, Rightmove and Endsleigh all indicate that current property trends seem set to continue for the foreseeable future, making this a particularly profitable time for landlords to be letting and investing in property in the South West.

In an interview with Kotaku, Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart revealed that his studio and Atari almost started development on Baldur's Gate 3 back in late 2008 and early 2009.
According to Urquhart, a contract to begin work on the role-playing sequel was ready to be signed, but Atari backed away at the last minute.
"All this work got done. We negotiated a whole contract. Years worth of work, and it turned out they didn't have the money," said Urquhart.
Baldur's Gate is a Dungeons and Dragons-based role-playing franchise that was originally developed by BioWare. The first title was released for PC back in 1998 and the sequel, Shadows of Amn, was released in 2000. An 'Enhanced Edition' of the first Baldur's Gate was recently released by Beamdog. Beamdog has publicly stated that eventually making Baldur's Gate 3 is one of their goals.

Blink-182‘s Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker are plotting their post-Tom DeLonge future with Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba. In an interview with NME, Barker revealed that the trio have recorded five new songs together.
“Matt’s killing it,” Barker said. “He’s fun to play with and write with. We’re just getting started, but I think we’ve got like four or five songs right now that I’m really, really happy with. There’s a song called ‘Punk Rock Cliché’ which I love the most right now. It’s about friends of ours and their relationships.”
The drummer, who is currently promoting his memoir Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death & Drums, Drums, Drums, did not specify when the new music would be released, but did assure that they are working towards an album. “The goal here is to come up with an album and just write. We don’t put a limit on how many songs we’re gonna write. [We just] write a bunch of songs, and when we feel like there’s an album ready, there’s an album ready. You know, no pressure, no deadlines.”
Barker and Hoppus’ new music with Skiba would be the first Blink-182 release to not include DeLonge, who departed the group earlier this year. DeLonge was supposed to record a new album with Hoppus and Barker before leaving the band.
“I just wish Tom does whatever makes him happy and stops holding Blink-182 back from what we all agree that we’re going to do: play shows, record music, continue this legacy and have a good time doing it,” Hoppus told Rolling Stone in January after DeLonge refuted reports that he had quit the band. Skiba joined immediately after to tour with the band and play festivals throughout the year.


Seasonal imbalances in the amount of solar energy that Mars absorbs and emits can cause dust storms that have preoccupied observers for a long time, a research group said. Climate events in the Red Planet’s past also determine the likely future of our home.
The energy balance between solar radiation coming to Mars and that of the planet has been compared by researchers at the University of Houston, who conclude that there is a significant seasonal shift in the planet. The researchers used surface data measured by rangers operated by NASA and orbiting probe measurements in their calculations.
“One of our most interesting discoveries is that excess energy may be one of the mechanisms behind the generation of Martian dust storms. If we find out how this works on Mars, we can easily understand how the Earth’s energy balance relates to the onset of severe storms, including hurricanes.PhD student Elaine Crissy said.
Due to its sparse atmosphere and elongated elliptical trajectory, Mars is particularly sensitive to large temperature differences. The planet absorbs an unusual amount of the sun’s heat when it is closest to the sun during perihelion (in Mars’ southern hemisphere in spring and summer), when dust storms also occur. As the planet moves away from the sun, the absorbed heat also decreases.
A similar phenomenon occurs on Earth, but experts have found this to be severe on Mars, it reads On the University of Houston website.
Elaine Creasy explained that Mars no longer has energy storage systems like the vast oceans on Earth that help balance the climate system. Once upon a time, Mars also had seas and oceans, but due to its climate change, they evaporated. This suggests that the Red Planet’s past may also mask the solution to Earth’s climate change. The researchers also believe that an objective view of the Earth is certainly facilitated by looking at certain processes through the operation of another planet.
