How to Identify and Fix Common Vacuum Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced Vacuum Technicians :
Air Is Stuck in Pump or Hose
If the cleaner is still not spraying despite the water and detergent tanks being full, there may be a bubble of air stuck in the pump or the hose. To fix this, you need to turn the cleaner on and lower the hose down to the floor.
The recovery hose can be damaged or clogged if it sucks up sharp or large debris. Debris can also become lodged in the hose. A clogged or damaged hose can cause a loss of suction. A loss of suction will result in poor extraction results.
To fix a clog in the hose, feed one end into a garbage bag, and poke the other end with the back of a mop pole, until you push the clog material out into the garbage bag. To fix a clog in the vacuum, whether it is a canister or bag, use your finger to feel for a clog. Pull as much of it out as you can and discard.
VAC bans are permanent, non-negotiable, and cannot be removed by Steam Support. If a VAC ban is determined to have been issued incorrectly it will automatically be removed. If you wish to discuss Valve Anti-Cheat with the community, you may do so here.
A good rule of thumb is to have your carpet professionally steam cleaned at least once a year, twice if you seem to track a lot of dirt in. This way you get a good, deep cleaning and don`t let the dirt build up. Vacuum once or twice a week to keep it clean in between your steam cleaning sessions.
Clog located in the vacuum hose
Turn the unit on and feel the suction at the end of the hose handle. If there is no or low suction, then the clog is in the hose. You can remove the clog by running a long, stiff object through the hose, such as a butter knife, starting at the wall end.
Gravity and friction are the two main forces that make vacuum suction work. While gravity pulls molecules in the air toward the earth, creating an atmospheric pressure, the suction cup and vacuum pump cause a pressure difference, attaching both surfaces.
Hot water loosens and softens dirt more quickly, making it easier to remove, and it also helps to kill bacteria. That`s why we recommend filling up your carpet cleaner`s tank with warm water. Some BISSELL Carpet Cleaners also use HeatWave technology to keep the water hot throughout the cleaning process.
Check that the vacuum cleaner is plugged into a working power outlet and that fuses and breakers don`t need resetting. An activated thermal cut-out due to a blockage is the next most likely cause of the problem. Check for blockages in the hose and filters, and remove any obstructions that you find.
Your filters get clogged with bacteria, dust, smoke, mold, and other particles. These can all affect the air quality in your home as well as the performance of your vacuum`s cleaning abilities, if the filter is clogged you will find the suction and general performance of your vacuum will be minimized.
Locate the brush reset button on the lower back right of the vacuum. Press the button to reset the brushroll To ensure the brush has been reset, plug the vacuum back into the electrical outlet.
There could be several factors as to why your BISSELL PowerFresh steam mop is not producing steam. First, check to make sure the unit is plugged in and is in a working outlet. Next, check to make sure there is water in the tank. It is very important to make sure you are ONLY using water to fill the tank.
Ultimately, running your vacuum over your carpets after a professional deep clean is great but remember to do it only after your carpet is completely dry. Vacuuming your carpet when it`s still damp could cause dirt to be transferred from your vacuum cleaner, so patience does pay off.
Any fine dust remaining in the filter can usually be removed with a gentle rinse under a cold tap – hold the filter under the running water until the water runs clear. You shouldn`t need to use any detergent – just water.
Twist the lid until the arrows line up and open up the container to get to the hepa filter. Take the filter out and brush the dirt out, once a month wash the filter in warm water. Please make sure it is thoroughly dry before popping it back in – this may take around 24 hours.
Vacuuming every day, or even a few times a day, is not going to create any long term problems. `But,` you might be thinking, `doesn`t the brushes spinning over the carpet on a beater bar wear it out? ` Sure, but a very small amount.
“We would recommend vacuuming at least once or twice a week—and more often if we have pets—with the right tools to remove dust quickly and effectively,” Patel advises.
If the tank is full then water will start to leak out. Place the cleaner over a sink and pull the drainage cap out underneath the tank to drain out the water. If the tank is full then water will start to leak out. Place the cleaner over a sink and pull the drainage cap out underneath the tank to drain out the water.
If all you hear from the vacuum unit is a click at the when you try to start the vacuum motor from inside the house, then the motor in the unit is dead and has to be replaced. A strong odor from the shellac, which coats the copper coil windings, is an indicator that the motor is about to or has burnt out.
Connect a tachometer and vacuum gauge to a none regulated vacuum source on the engine. Disconnect and plug fuel vapor canister vacuum lines. Start engine and run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Note the vacuum gauge reading and any variations in the pointer movement at idle and 2000 RPM.
One of the easiest ways to increase vacuum cleaner suction is to empty the dust bag or container. Dust containers need to have enough space for airflow, otherwise, they could get clogged and have less suction power. Regularly check your dust compartment and empty or change it when it`s already 70-80% full.
All vacuum cleaners operate based on air flowing from the opening at the cleaning head or tool, through the vacuum cleaner and the bag and/or filter system and then out the exhaust port. This airflow is created by the vacuum motor, which also may be referred to as the suction motor.
Most cleaning methods simply can`t remove all the old hair, dust mites, dirt, soapy residues and chemicals. After the cleaning crew leaves, the gunk remaining in your carpeting acts like a magnet for a whole new layer of grime.

An animation is defined like a visual change in a scene with respect to time. The visual change in the scene is not just related to the change in the career of this object, but also having its contour, color, transparency, texture and structure. An important point about cartoon is that it usually signifies the hand attracted or drawn sequence of images, which contrasts to the pictures where actors performances together with real-world scenes have been listed. This really is similar to Nuwave 3 Qt Digital Air Fryer.
3D Cartoon animation has appear up as among essentially the most endorsed technologies in the present computer system age. This can be a kind of graphic imaging which has taken more than 2nd or scale model puppets likewise as drawings which were being commonly referred to as stop motion animation. Over the decades, there's been an ever growing demand for cartoon videos as well since the use of 3D cartoon animation inside the media for endorsement of name names that has initiated better and more innovative imaging software's in the market.See Also: Animal Scooters At The Mall
Cartoon is quickly becoming a very popular career choice for those interested in combining their love for art by using their love for calculating. With pictures such as Monsters Inc. and Cars holding the attention of children and adults alike, it's not surprising that animation technicians are becoming more sought after.

You should be surprised on the quantity of animated types that will be involved. Therefore if who at any time mentioned that cartoons are for teenagers? They may be something that touches the hearts with the younger and old for both gender.
Animation may be employed to inform, instruct, promote and express emotions equally as live activity can employing the very same techniques; such as for instance the employment of colour, picture language and noise.

Women in Oz reckon a youthful appearance makes a real difference to their prospects in the job market but would ‘tell a white lie’ if pushed to answer if they’d have cosmetic treatment.
Australian women of all ages feel they’re under pressure to look good in the workplace in order to climb the career ladder – and it’s led to a boom in those seeking cosmetic tweaks.
However, the main driver for having treatments was for their own satisfaction – with many believing that a ‘feelgood factor’ matters more than what others thought.
And, although many women feared being judged for opting cosmetic procedures, the national survey also revealed that girls ultimately stick together.
Those polled said they would never judge another woman who chose to turn back the clock with a non-surgical ‘helping hand’.
But there is a conundrum – to have work to look more youthful has its appeal but women also fear criticism for trying too hard to look good for their age.
Their fears included being accused of being false or superficial, vain, self indulgent – or having people talking behind their back.
However, openness about opting for cosmetic treatments is, on the whole, welcomed by women and nearly half said they would support a friend who was considering a procedure – with only 17% saying they’d try to put them off.
And, should they be asked whether they’ve had a procedure?
A whopping 41% of women polled (aged 35-39) said they would change the subject or tell a ‘white lie’.

This afternoon, we deployed the following new features:
You can now filter the List of all Inspections (Manufacturing, Receiving, and FAI), and the List of NCRs, CAPAs, SCARS, and Audits by a date range. Simply type the range into the search box as shown below:
Note: Dates must be in MM-DD-YYYY format.
2. Drill-Down NCRs, CAPAs, SCARs By Month:
Last week, we added charts for NCRs, CAPAs, and SCARs by month. This week, we've added the ability to further drill-down into each month. Simply click on the bar for the month of interest to view the associated NCRs.
3. Adding Drawings to QC Plans (that were created without drawings):
You can now add a drawing to a QC Plan that was not originally created from a drawing (pdf). For example, if you had created your QC Plan "from scratch" or "from an xlsx/pptx import", you can now add back the associated drawing by clicking on the "drawing" tab.
1. If the sheet number is listed for each balloon in the QC Plan, 1factory will automatically create and place balloons on the correct sheet of the drawing. You can then move the balloons to the desired location on the drawing.
2. Sheet and zone must be in the following format: "Sheet: Zone" e.g. 1: A4
For NCRs, CAPAs, and SCARS, you can now filter the Pareto charts by a second dimension. For example, you may want to focus only on the NCRs associated with a certain customer. Here's how that will work:
Start with a NCR by Problem Type Chart:
Next, filter by Customer, select the Customer Name, and click "re-apply":
Note: You must select both Filter By "Customer" and the "Customer Name".
5. NCRs by Month:
We've added a chart to trend the number of NCRs by Month. Here's an example:

Screenwriting Tips, You Hack
150 Practical Pointers for Becoming a Better Screenwriter
Screenwriting Tip #99
Voice-over usually feels like scaffolding. You know-something you left in there when you were constructing the first draft, but really should have torn out after it served its purpose.
Screenwriting Tip #120
Always remember that funny trumps everything. Your script could be written in crayon with your name spelled wrong on the cover, but if it's genuinely funny, none of that matters.
Screenwriting Tip #156
The easiest way to write kick-ass protagonists is to make them incredibly good at what they do.
Confused at the outline stage? Stuck in the swamp of Act Two? Don't know who your protagonist is or where she's going?
You might feel like a hack. But don't worry-you're not alone. Even the most experienced writers feel like this at times. Sometimes we just need a few short pointers and reminders to set us on the path again.
Xander Bennett worked as a script reader in the trenches of Hollywood, reading and covering hundreds of mediocre screenplays. After months of reading about heroic Sea World trainers, transgendered circus detectives and crime-fighting chupacabras, he couldn't take it any more. Xander started a blog called 'Screenwriting Tips, You Hack', a place designed to provide short, witty tips on screenwriting for amateur writers all the way up to journeymen scribes.
This book is the evolution of that blog. Dozens of the best scripts (along with many brand-new ones) have been expanded into bite-sized chapters full of funny, insightful, highly usable advice. Let Xander's pain be your gain as you learn about the differences between film and television structure, how to force yourself to write when you really don't want to, and why you probably shouldn't base your first spec script around an alien invasion.
Table of Contents
Chapter 1 FADE IN; Chapter 2 No Idea; Chapter 3 Rebel without a Plan; Chapter 4 Inciting Incident; Chapter 5 Structure; Chapter 6 Description and Word choice; Chapter 7 Your Protagonist; Chapter 8 Showing Character; Chapter 9 Dialog; Chapter 10 Genre; Chapter 11 Productivity; Chapter 12 The Dark Point; Chapter 13 Advanced Structure; Chapter 14 Rewriting; Chapter 15 Common Mistakes; Chapter 16 Extremely Specific Mistakes; Chapter 17 Selling Yourself; Chapter 18 FADE OUT;
Xander Bennett is a screenwriter and has been a Hollywood script reader. Frustrated by the quality of the screenplays he was reading as a script reader, he started his blog, Screenwriting Tips.You Hack, as a snarky diatribe. The blog now delivers a tip per day and is the home of the online script reading service, Hack Notes. Bennett has written for television, videogames, role-playing games, and comics, and is the author of a 2008 graphic novel.
"Bennett's pointers cover all aspects of the writing process, beginning with the mental preparation necessary before you ever put pen to paper, or, fingers to keyboard. He then leads us through the full arc of drafting, revising, polishing, and ultimately pitching and selling your screenplay. Like most screenwriters, Bennett is well-versed in pop culture, and his movie references are a geek's delight...Unless of course, you're too much of a geek, and you notice that his reference to Rocky III teaching us that there's no easy way out actually refers to Rocky IV. Hair-splitting aside, Bennett's easy-to-apply screenwriting tips can only improve your writing."--MoviePie
"I've never written a screenplay, but I still believe that Xander Bennett's Screenwriting Tips, You Hack, has made me a better writer. I'm not being facetious here; Bennett's book has given me a much better appreciation for techniques of screenwriting and helped me ask questions about how I write my still-non-screenplay work."--review on DGSwartz.com
"Screenwriting Tips, You Hack elaborates upon close to 200 tips from the popular micro-blog that's now under the umbrella of The Black List. These great tips are compiled into helpful chapters on outlining, characters, ideas, rewriting, etc., which makes the book great for referencing when you've hit a particular roadblock in your writing. It also features a ton of helpful real-life examples, from Top Gun and Forrest Gump to Groundhog Day and Breaking Bad. Bennett's experience as a reader definitely informs his effective prose, but the book is filled with suggestions as opposed to complaints. Screenwriting Tips, You Hack is definitely a book that can help you think about your script in a new way - or help you get started on your first script!"--AspiringTVWriter.blogspot
"The book is an informative and easy read, but what makes it special is that it appears that every point that can be thought of was thought of and presented. Not only is the advice given sound, there is also support of each point. The way it was written was part of its charm. I found it very amusing and I can honestly say that I learned a few things that I will employ in my future screenplays. If you are a screenwriter, this book is a useful tool with advice that you can take and see how it applies to you and how you write and produce. If you are not a screenwriter, you can learn a great deal about the field and learn a lot about the process. I highly recommend this book."--Newzbreaker.com
"At the top of the top, I found Screenwriting Tips, You Hack; A snarky, witty, to-the-point tip-of-theday written by Xander Bennett. If you're not familiar with Xander and his daily dose of screenwriting gold, you've been missing some of the simplest screenwriting instruction that the internet has to offer. There are some fantastic long form blogs that go into the weeds of writing or pull back the curtain on the process or chronicle the journey of a struggling writer - and I love all of these and still read them - but what I've really grown to appreciate about Screenwriting Tips is that it is short and to the point. In one sentence Xander can highlight a common mistake, provide and example and offer a solution. That's not easy to do. That's why his blog is a must read."--SteamMyScript.com
"Just got my complimentary copy in the mail. Great book. I'd say that even if I hadn't gotten mine for free. Screenwriting Tips, You Hack. 150 Practical Pointers For Becoming A Better Screenwriter by Xander Bennett. It's a VERY useful book. Not as useful as mine, of course, but damn close. Plus, it has an index, which mine does not! He was a reader in Hollywood for a good while. Long enough to know the ins and outs of the business, not long enough to go insane. I am requiring the book for my screenwriting students, and that is a VERY short list."-YourScreenplaySucks.wordpress.com
"Are you a screenwriter looking for a magic 8 ball of insider tips and tricks of the trade? Do you feel like a hack? Then you should check out Xander Bennett's hilariously insightful Screenwriting Tips... You Hack: 150 Practical Pointers for Becoming a Better Screenwriter. The book, an evolution of Bennett's infamous screenwriting tips blog, offers tweet-sized tidbits of priceless writing advice for writers at any stage in their career or writing process.

Oregon Poets: Poet ranges from Coos County to Vienna
For almost 30 years, Coos County native Robert Hunter Jones has lived in Vienna, Austria, where he teaches at the American International School. This July, however, he was at Tsunami Books in Eugene for the launch of his first full-length collection of poetry, "Winter Garden," just published by Eugene-based Silverfish Review Press.
I first encountered Jones’ poetry in a chapbook, "The Clever Man’s Forest," issued in 2011 by another Eugene-based independent publisher, Traprock Books. I found the poems there so strong and moving that I was eager to hear him read from his new book.
Jones turned out to be as unassuming as his name, and the poems he read were as powerful as I’d hoped. "Winter Garden" is not the book of a young man. Jones is in his 60s, and the poems reflect the full range of his life so far. They register two birthdays (turning 46 and 61), intense moments of connection and separation in relationships, and of exhilaration and dread in fatherhood, the aging and death of the poet’s own father, the survival of his nonagenarian mother and the passing of many seasons.
Oregon Poets: Clemens Starck constructs poetry from life
In the title poem, the speaker observes an old man who has planted spring bulbs, marking them for the winter with stakes, and asks, “What live coal have I banked against my own / fear of winter?” In “A Rose for Bunnell,” the speaker declares, “It is springtime because we need / these beginnings.” Many of the poems reflect such a fear of winter and hunger for spring.
All the poems emerge from a deep and open attention, especially to the natural world and to human interactions. They show that Jones has worked long and intently with language and line. Again and again, they surprise us with beautiful and exact articulations, as in the final stanza of “Thumbnail Sketch”:
"She placed a single berry in my palm. Perfect,
it rolled across all the clenched dead ends
of this life, promising the sweetness
summer lets swell from its blossom."
Books to help adults mark off their summer reads
Although Jones has been teaching in Vienna for nearly three decades, he has not lost touch with his Oregon home.
“I believe in the generative clarity / of first places,” he writes in “Home Made.”
His background includes not only study at Lewis and Clark College and in the graduate writing program at Brown University, but also years logging in the Oregon Coast Range, working swing shift in a sawmill and serving on National Park Service fire crews.
The knowledge and values that Jones developed during his years in the woods continue to inform his poetry.
“To Sharpen a Pulaski” is exact in its account of how to handle that firefighter’s tool: “Work the file gently. / Begin with the shoulders and forgive yourself / all the initial awkwardness. Let the metal // undress itself one luminous stroke / at a time.” This account applies equally well to how Jones shapes his poems.
Poetry collection follows Oregon poets
This article was written by Eleanor Berry, chair of the Mid-Valley Poetry Society. It is one of a monthly series by MVPS members on books by Oregon poets. For further information about the MVPS and its programs, contact email@example.com.

Calls going for pandemic election changes
About $20.2 million in federal funding will be coming to the state to help conduct the August 18th Primary and November General Election amid the pandemic, but Florida Democrats and election supervisors are asking for more.
Florida Democrats are calling for a special session to address issues they anticipate the coronavirus will cause in this year’s elections.
“Ensuring safe access to this sacred right is a duty that we have as elected officials,” said State Senator Gary Farmer.
Their main goal is to send every Floridian a mail ballot and have the state pay return postage.
“The problem is that our traditional system is not designed for social distancing,” said State Senator Perry Thurston.
The federal assistance could help absorb some of those costs, but election supervisors insist Democrats’ demands are unrealistic.
“We do not have the volume capacity,” said Mark Earley, Leon County Supervisor of Elections and Secretary of the State Association.
Election officials are anticipating poll worker shortages, a lack of polling places and a surge of vote by mail ballots in August and November.
They’re asking the Governor to extend the window to send out mail ballots and expand early voting through Election Day
"To help us ensure that we've got a sufficient number of polling places and a sufficient number of poll workers,” said Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections President Craig Latimer.
Election supervisors first made the request back in April, but they still have not gotten an answer from the Governor.
We’ve also reached out the Governor multiple times with no response.
“We need to know these things way in advance. Months in advance. We typically start planning for an election a year ahead of time,” said Earley.
If you plan to vote by mail request and return a ballot as soon as possible. You also don’t have to return it through the mail. You can also drop it at your local supervisor of elections office in person to avoid paying postage.
Elections officials also want to remind Floridians that requesting a mail ballot doesn’t mean that’s the way you have to vote.
You can still vote in person if you forget to return you mail ballot in time.

The Ziro Valley in the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh in India is a magical place where golden fields meet blue and grey skies.
Last year we visited Ziro Valley in Arunachal Pradesh (a state that is called the land of the rising sun) when it was hosting the annual Ziro Festival of Music. During our stay there, we wandered the villages, only to be mesmerised by the magical golden landscapes with tales and legends of its intriguing people – the Apatani tribals. Tentatively listed as a UNESCO Heritage site, Ziro Valley is truly an example of a distinctive home to a culture that is extremely unique in itself.
We walked around the valley and were greeted by an ever-changing skyscape, with clouds appearing and disappearing by the minute. Some bamboo houses here and there, village structures that we had read about and the glorious Donyi-Polo flag were to be seen. The Donyi-Polo flag, as a symbol of sorts, represents the animist beliefs of most of the community members in Ziro, whose close relationship with nature is well reflected in how they conserve it and interact with it.
Breathing in the fresh air of the valley whose landscape is slowly changing with concrete roads making way through its natural setting, we hardly missed the buzz and noise of the city we came from. Needless to say, the greens, yellows, browns, blues and greys that inked the landscape painted a canvas that remains etched in our minds.

Your Questions About Cellulite Skin Problem
How do I get rid of cellulite and loose skin?
I’ve recently lost about 50lbs and my weight is now considered normal yet I still have quite a bit of fat around my butt and hips including cellulite. Also, my skin is a little loose in some places. I drink plenty of water and I’ve recently started exercising. I was just wondering what types of exercises would improve my condition. Currently, I alternate between the treadmill, elliptical, and stair thingy. Does anyone else have this problem? Please help!
Go to GNC or any other nutrition store and ask for a supplement called X-Pel. It works.
HELP!!!!!what’s is a good cellulite and skin tighting cream?
i’ve been dieting and i loss a few pound and my skin is getting kinda loose and i have really bad cellulite on my thigh that does no seem to go away with working out. i need help finding a cream for those problem that is going to work, cause i try a few but there where no results.
Skin creams won’t do anything except part you and your money. You mention that you’re dieting, but are you exercising? If not, now’s the time to start. If you are, it’s probable that you need to change your routine. Try the HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) method of cardio. There are workouts available on the internet.
I started getting cellulite about a year ago. I’m not over weight and looked it up and found out it’s not from eating the wrong thing or weight gain it’s actually from dehydrated skin and veins. i couldn’t find a way to get rid of it without expensive creams and lotions does anyone know a natural way of getting rid of it with out medications and creams? Please help i’m beginning to get very self-concious about it!
Drink plenty of water approx 2 Litres/day and exercise.

Have you ever noticed or paid close attention to the plastic beverage bottles you buy in a grocery or convenience store?
Drinks such as water, fruit juice, soda, iced teas, smoothies, etc generally come in plastic bottles.
Have you ever wondered what the ‘number in the triangle’ means or stands for?
There is a number stamped in a triangle (see image below) on the bottom of just about every plastic bottle we use, which varies from one to seven. I’ve read in various sources where claims have been made that the particular number represents the recycling process of the plastic, specifically, the amount of times that exact bottle has been recycled, but in reverse order. Well … yes and no … While it does have everything to do with recycling, the number of times an item has been recycled has absolutely nothing to do with that particular number.
That number actually represents the type of plastic which is used in the manufacturing of that particular type of bottle. For example, the number ‘5’ is made out of polypropylene (PP) while the number ‘1’ is called PET which stands for polyethlyene terephthalate.
The numbers below represent the material (type of plastic) that goes into the making of that specific bottle. This number will be useful for you when sorting through the bottles for recycling, but more importantly, the number will help you to determine which bottle is best for reusing or refilling for your own personal use.
Different types of plastics are sometimes referred to as “resins” and the numeric symbols are known as “Resin ID Codes.”
The following chart represents the ‘Resin ID Codes’ or ‘Plastic Identification Number’ (PIN) found on each plastic bottle.
# 1 –> PET ….. polyethlyene terephthalate
# 2 –> HDPE ….. high-density polyethylene
# 3 –> PVC ….. polyvinyl chloride
# 4 –> LDPE ….. low-density polyethylene
# 5 –> PP ….. polypropylene
# 6 –> PS/PS-E ….. polystyrene / expanded polystyrene
# 7 –> OTHER ….. resins or multi-materials
* More details/information, as to what types of containers are used for different products, can be found towards the end of this posted article.
Which plastic water bottles don’t leach chemicals?
Choose your water bottles very carefully in order to prevent chemicals in the plastic from leaching into your water.
Plastic water bottles are very convenient for carting water around when we are on the go, as they don’t break if we drop them. However, it is worth paying attention to the type of plastic your water bottle is made of, to ensure that the chemicals in the plastic do not leach into the water. If you taste plastic, you are drinking it, so get yourself another bottle.
To be certain that you are choosing a bottle that does not leach, check the recycling symbol on your bottle. If it is a #2 HDPE (high density polyethylene), or a #4 LDPE (low density polyethylene), or a #5 PP (polypropylene), your bottle is fine.
The type of plastic bottle in which water is usually sold is usually a #1, and is only recommended for one time use. -Do not refill it- . Better to use a reusable water bottle, and fill it with your own filtered water from home and keep these single-use bottles out of the landfill.
Unfortunately, those fabulous colourful hard plastic lexan bottles made with polycarbonate plastics and identified by the #7 recycling symbol, may leach BPA. Bisphenol A is a xenoestrogen, a known endocrine disruptor, meaning it disturbs the hormonal messaging in our bodies. Synthetic xenoestrogens are linked to breast cancer and uterine cancer in women, decreased testosterone levels in men, and are particularly devastating to babies and young children. BPA has even been linked to insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes. Nalgene, the company that manufactures the lexan water bottles also makes #2 HDPE bottles in the same sizes and shapes, so we have a viable alternative.
Unfortunately, most plastic baby bottles and drinking cups are made with plastics containing Bisphenol A. In 2006 Europe banned all products made for children under age 3 containing BPA, and as of Dec. 2006 the city of San Franscisco followed suit. In March 2007 a billion-dollar class action suit was commenced against Gerber, Playtex, Evenflo, Avent, and Dr. Brown’s in Los Angeles superior court for harm done to babies caused by drinking out of baby bottles and sippy cups containing BPA. So, to be certain that your baby is not exposed, use glass bottles.
Check the recycling numbers on all your plastic food containers as well, and gradually move to storing all food in glass or ceramic.
Store water in glass or brass if possible, and out of direct sunlight.

24V AC to DC Converter manufacture: Efficiently Converting Alternating Current to Direct Current
Egilea: ZYG Power Module Time： 2023-5-12
In an electrical circuit, alternating current (AC) is the form of electricity that flows back and forth through the circuit. However, many electronic devices require direct current (DC) to operate. This is where an AC to DC converter comes into play. In this article, we will discuss the 24V AC to DC converter and how it efficiently converts AC to DC.
What is an AC to DC Converter?
An AC to DC converter is an electrical device that converts AC power to DC power. This device is commonly used in electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and mobile devices that require DC power to operate. The AC to DC converter works by rectifying the AC power and converting it to a pulsating DC current. This pulsating DC current is then filtered to produce a steady DC current that can be used to power electronic devices.
Efficiently Converting AC to DC
When it comes to converting AC to DC, efficiency is key. The efficiency of an AC to DC converter is determined by the amount of power that is lost during the conversion process. The higher the efficiency of the converter, the less power that is lost and the more efficient the overall system becomes.
One way to increase the efficiency of an AC to DC converter is to use a switching power supply. A switching power supply uses a high-frequency oscillator to control the switching of a power transistor. This allows the AC power to be converted to DC power with very little power loss.
Another way to increase the efficiency of an AC to DC converter is to use a transformer. A transformer is an electrical device that is used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit. By using a transformer, the AC power can be stepped down to a lower voltage before being converted to DC power. This reduces the amount of power that is lost during the conversion process.
24V AC to DC Converter
The 24V AC to DC converter is a specific type of AC to DC converter that is designed to convert 24V AC power to 24V DC power. This converter is commonly used in electronic devices that require a 24V DC power supply such as LED lighting systems, industrial control systems, and motor control systems.
The 24V AC to DC converter works by rectifying the 24V AC power and converting it to a pulsating 24V DC current. This pulsating DC current is then filtered to produce a steady 24V DC current that can be used to power electronic devices. The efficiency of the 24V AC to DC converter is determined by the quality of the transformer and the switching power supply used in the system.
In conclusion, the 24V AC to DC converter is an essential component in many electronic devices that require DC power to operate. The efficiency of the converter is critical to the overall performance of the electronic system. By using a switching power supply and a transformer, the efficiency of the converter can be increased, resulting in less power loss and a more efficient system.

AC-DC converters are electronic devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This conversion is necessary for many electronic devices that require DC voltage to operate, such as computers, cell phones, and televisions. The process of converting AC to DC involves several steps. First, the AC voltage is typically stepped down using a transformer to a lower voltage level, which is then rectified to produce a pulsating DC voltage. The pulsating DC is then filtered using capacitors to produce a more stable DC voltage. The resulting DC voltage can then be regulated using voltage regulators to ensure that it is within the required voltage range for the electronic device.

Even if you’re not someone with chronic acid reflux problems, we all experience it once or twice in our lives when we eat a late night, spicy meal a little too close to going to bed. This incredibly uncomfortable, burning sensation can keep you up all through the night, and contribute to esophagitis and other throat-related problems.
Acid reflux and sleep are two closely related topics. Sleep can cause further acid reflux if no angle is used while sleeping. But, with the proper sleep solutions, it can also help remediate the acid reflux problems causing discomfort in the afflicted person.
Causes of acid reflux
The reasons why some people develop acid reflux over others is poorly understood, but different types of trigger activities and foods can bring it about in just about anyone. Foods that contribute include: tomato-based foods, fatty foods, spicy foods, carbonated beverages, citrus, chocolate, caffeine, onions, garlic, and peppermint. Additionally, eating large meals at a time, especially right before bed, will seriously trigger the GERD/acid-related discomforts.
Since sleep is so closely tied to acid reflux, it’s important to invest in quality sleep materials and carefully constructed mattresses for monitoring your reflux. At our Rest Right Mattress, we offer a variety elevated mattresses that can provide the necessary lift to keep your esophagus clear of acid all night. Adjustable beds allow individuals to adjust their side of the bed to their preference, so the partner can sleep at what angle they desire.
We can show you mattresses of varying support leverage depending on your severity of acid reflux. We have firm, soft, multi-layered, and many other styles that will accommodate and help you remediate your reflux.

Behaviour Rehabilitation Board & Train
$4000 / 5 weeks
$4800 / 6 weeks
$5600 / 7 weeks
$6400 / 8 weeks
Board and train behavior rehabilitation is not only about obedience training; it is a training program which is heavily focused on teaching a dog how to make the right choices in the real world even when the dog is under heavy distraction. It is all about helping you and your dog to share your life in perfect harmony.
We do not want a dog who will only listen when there is food, we train all dogs to know how to be attentive around distraction, how to trust their owners and look to their owners for guidance when they are unsure or aroused, and how to make the right decision on his/her own even without any command.
Board and train is a very result orientated program which allows your dog to be completely immersed in a 24/7 daily structure which is specifically tailored and custom designed to modify the fundamental mindset of your dog in order to address and rehabilitate the undesirable behaviors holistically (i.e. dog aggression, fear aggression, human aggression, fearfulness, separation anxiety, and reactivity issues, and so on).
Your dog will be both on and off leash trained upon completion of the program.
Your dog will also learn how to be calm on command, understand pack order and know how to respect your leadership and develop much better impulse control with excellent house manner.
We will also deal with leash pulling, lack of focus in public, crate anxiety, jumping, barking...etc.
All dogs will learn the 5 basic commands both on and off leash (come, sit, down, place, let's go).
During your dog's stay, he/she will be taken to many different social settings and meeting various dogs and people for the purpose of confidence building and socialization.
Your dog will be staying in a family home setting and be treated like our own family dog.
Unlimited lifetime private 1 on 1 training sessions are included at no extra charge to make sure you are empowered to carry on and keep up with the training.
All dogs in training and boarding are updated on our Facebook page with videos, pictures, and write ups regarding their progress.
Returned board and train clients will be eligible to exclusive structured boarding (subjected to availability) and tune up one on one lessons for life.
This is the best and most effective program to rehabilitate and modify undesirable behaviors to transform your dog into your perfect companion. We will return to you a drastically transformed and much better behaved dog.
You are not just paying for a few weeks of training; with the board and train program, you are investing in a life time of training and support from me for as long as you own your dog.

Congratulations to the Pelican Post on running the story “Will keeping submissions private serve the public interest” on its front page regarding the current Central Coast Council Public Inquiry.
The community in the Central Coast area is now facing massive rate hikes due to either incompetence or corruption.
The Inquiry could have been a fantastic opportunity for us all to learn why it occurred and learn from mistakes.
However, two things will never allow the ratepayers to find out why.
Firstly, the terms of reference have been so restricted that they only deal with whether actions or events occurred: whether the Council met its obligations in gaining financial savings; whether it disregarded financial consequences; whether decisions contributed to the current position; whether it had regard to financial sustainability; and whether it kept the performance of the council under review?
The ratepayers already know the answers to all the above.
It is NO to all items.
What about the important questions?
How did this bankruptcy occur?
Who was responsible?
What was done that should not have been done or not done that should have been done?
When and where did these things occur?
The terms of reference do not include these!
Commissioner McCulloch has denied access for all ratepayers to the submissions made.
How are the ratepayers of the Central Coast going to find out what is the defence of Councillors?
Suspended Councillors Bruce McLachlan, Greg Best, Chris Burke, Jeff Sundstrom, Jillian Hogan, Louise Greenaway, Rebecca Gale, Jane Smith, Doug Vincent, Richard Mehrtens and Kyle McGregor have all made submissions!
What did they say in their defence?
Ratepayers are not worthy of finding out!
The Shadow Minister for the Central Coast, David Harris (Labor), had the courage to petition more than 20,000 signatures to undertake this Inquiry.
Both Harris and Liesl Tesch (Labor) have made a submission to the Inquiry.
What did they say?
Perhaps they (or in fact any other Political Party or interested community member) could commence a petition requesting that all submissions be made open?
It would gain many, many dissatisfied Ratepayer supporters!
I know I would be their first!

The challenge is to detect and alert when the water level drops in a water trough used on farms to provide animals with drinking water. The target environment is extremely harsh on electronics with extreme weather combined with curious and sometimes destructive animals. The soloution must be easy to install, survive on a single battery for over a year and communicate from remote rural locations.
The Water Rat floats in the water trough until the level drops and it tilts over. As a floating device it provides no resistance to any destrutcive forces applied and it can easily be picked up an moved to a new location when required. An accelerometer detects the tilt angle and sends an alert via narrowband signal to a mobile phone or PC. The internal GPS updates its position on the farm's digital map. Additionaly the design allows for the tethering in a tank, with a rope setting the depth at which the tilt and alert will be triggered.
Social Impact: Farming families know that a weekend away is not really a break when all you do is worry about the water in your tanks and troughs. Knowing that you will be alerted if there is a problem allows everyone to be relaxed and present until its time to get back to work. Commercial Impact: Efficient water monitoring saves time and money and avoids productivity losses associated with water shortages. Environmental Impact: The Water Rat fits into sustainable grazing programs and moves with mobs as they are rotated through paddocks.
Each Water Rat is supplied with a short piece of sailing rope and instructions on how to tie a "poachers knot" so that if required, it can be in stalled in a water tank and tethered to the top with the rope length setting the level at which the Water Rat will tilt over and send the low water alert.

text: Utopia in progress by Jenny Schmid is a good exploration of animation and the ability of programs like flash to produce those animations. The plotline seems to be a secondary focus because it is rough and undeveloped. The transitions between the scenes are a little disturbing because there is little continuity in the plot. My favorite part happens when the girl is riding on her skateboard and the camera zooms in to a headshot of her. The motion of the background and her ponytails waving in the wind are in conflict with the lack of expression in her face. That moment is a little unsettling but it creates an interesting narrative of boredom in the midst of UFO’s and flying pirate ships.

If you've ever played any of the Far Cry games on other platforms - like the fantastic PC version - you'll be aware of certain key things that define the series. Number one is definitely fantastic graphics; ever since the glorious island environments of the first game, developers have built on the powerful engine to create ever more impressive visuals. Second to that, undoubtedly, is the AI of your opponents, who work as groups and intelligently utilise the cover provided by jungle environments. A third pillar, added more recently in updated versions of the game, is excellent multiplayer support.
Those are the three things you expect to find, simply as a baseline, in a Far Cry game. They're not obscure expectations - they're simply what any player would see as core values after a few hours on any of the existing titles.
Which leads one, rather uncharitably, to wonder how much time the developers of the first Wii title in the franchise have spent playing previous Far Cry titles. Here we have a game that features utterly dreadful graphics, consistently stupid AI and multiplayer that'll be singing in the boy's soprano choir long after puberty. It's set in a jungle, at least, so we have to grant that at least the team did look at the back-of-box screenshots and go "ah, palm trees!" - a key revelation which forms this game's main stylistic relationship with the rest of its franchise.
That sounds overwhelmingly negative, and don't get me wrong for a single second - it is. However, there's one shining good point to be dropped into the whole affair, for which many ills are going to be forgiven over the course of this review. Far Cry: Vengeance, for all its many, many faults, is the first Wii game to get first-person shooter controls absolutely, totally right.
The Crying Game
In other words, what Red Steel and (arguably) Call of Duty 3 failed to do, Far Cry has managed. The game utilises a simple control mechanism that moves your crosshair around in the middle of the screen and then allows you to move further in any direction to tilt the viewpoint. Movement forwards and backwards, and strafing left and right, is on the control stick of the nunchuk; to jump you flick the nunchuk, to throw a grenade you hold in the trigger on the nunchuk and make a tossing movement (watch it), which Far Cry actually interprets as a throw with strength varying according to the motion you make. Pull the B-trigger to shoot. Marginally more complex - but surprisingly natural after the first few tries - is the zooming motion, which requires you to poke the Wiimote towards the screen, with a second poke pulling back. It sounds awkward, but it actually works.
That's it for the basic controls - obviously there are more for weapon selection, locking the viewpoint and so on, and a slash of the Wiimote at any point tugs out a machete for a quick hacking motion - and here's the crux. They work. Whatever unkind things we may say about the developer's other efforts, the chaps designing the control system deserve a hearty pat on the back, because they've created a system that works reliably and is genuinely fun to use. The crosshair doesn't drift about because your viewpoint is moving unintentionally while you try to shoot; circle strafing and quickly moving the view are simple and easily mastered; the simple act of shooting enemy soldiers is suddenly fun again in a way that wouldn't have been possible with an analogue control stick. From the point of view of pure interaction between the player and the game, Far Cry is a joy to play, and that alone will drag you through several hours of the game.
I say "drag", though, and I mean it. Unfortunately, aside from the well-conceived and extremely well polished control scheme, the rest of the game is a haphazard and unfinished rush-job whose shoddy nature is genuinely eyebrow-raising at some points. The high point of the presentation is some nicely designed menu systems, which make good use of the Wii controller as a pointing device. Sadly, it's all downhill from there.
Makes Baby Jesus Cry
When you launch a new game - and occasionally at key plot moments, in so much as the game has any semblance of a plot - Far Cry decides to treat you to some rendered video sequences. These look for all the world like placeholder art; they have been created using in-game models, but bizarrely compressed into video that's lower quality than in-game graphics by a substantial margin. It's muddy, ugly and looks as though it's travelled through YouTube's hideous video system a few times - it's no exaggeration to say that we've seen better full-motion video on the Nintendo DS recently. In fact, it's positively a relief when you're dropped into proper in-game graphics - they look great by comparison to the awful video.
Perhaps that's the point, because the in-game graphics don't look anything other than completely bloody awful by comparison with anything else out there. By showing you crap video first, at least your standards are lowered so that the game's visuals don't feel so much like someone has started injecting liquid faeces into your eyeballs - a shielding effect which, sadly, wears off after a few minutes. Far Cry: Vengeance, in case you haven't got the message yet, looks awful. It looks dreadful next to every other Far Cry game; it looks dreadful next to the PS2 games I've been reviewing recently; it even looks utterly dreadful side by side with some of the better GameCube titles out there, as a housemate's current adventures through Eternal Darkness reminded me. On a system significantly more powerful than the Cube (best estimates place it somewhere north of the original Xbox on the chart), it's laughable.
While the draw distance is relatively long, the sole saving grace of the graphics, items and foliage pop in right in front of your face. Everything is blocky and chunky, and the shadows of buildings look so unlike shadows that at one point I stared at a net-like object on a beach before realising it was meant to be the shadow of the suspension bridge above. The water, usually a Far Cry high point, is a pixellated texture; swimming in it is so murky that it feels like playing Turok on the N64 - while wearing a pair of fogged up sunglasses. Enemies, meanwhile, are pretty much carbon copies of one another for the majority of the game; the generic and borderline racially offensive soldiers you encounter early on, who shout loudly in voices clearly recorded by someone aiming for a midway point between Charlie Chan and Rambo's hapless foes, will still be your main cannon fodder many hours later.
Cry Me A River
However, at least introducing the cannon fodder to the cannons is quite enjoyable, in a fairly basic sense. The game sports a large arsenal of weapons and isn't stingy about handing you new toys to play with on a fairly regular basis; to top off the weaponry, there are also quite a few vehicles that you can drive around, including both land and sea craft. It's not quite the "if you can see it, you can drive it" freedom we'd like, but opportunities to wreak havoc behind the wheel (or handlebars) of a vehicle are liberally peppered around the levels, and once you work out that fixing the viewpoint is the only way to drive around without hitting every tree in the jungle, they're a fine addition to the game.
These amusing asides become all the more welcome when it becomes clear just how thick the enemy AI in the game is. Much like the graphics, the AI is a throwback to a bygone era; here we have enemy soldiers that just stand around while their comrades are being shot down right next to them, who stop in the middle of firefights and stare at you for ages, begging to be shot down, and whose best response to an enemy threat is to run at it shouting tired old catchphrases with all the Rs and Ls mispronounced. Never mind more recent advances in the genre like Halo, Half-Life 2 or even Far Cry itself; this is like the original Half-Life never happened, and the last major step forward in FPS gaming was Duke Nukem 3D. Still, at least shooting them in the head is still fun; perhaps you could enhance the fun-factor by playing a mental game where you pretend that the reason they're all so stupid is because the island's soldiers are entirely recruited from the readership of the News Of The World.
The other hook of the game is the Predator mode, which was introduced in earlier Far Cry games but is sadly introduced here as though everyone should already know what it is and how it works - a critical misunderstanding of the Wii's target audience, we can't help but feel. That said, it's rubbish anyway. The lovely control system breaks down utterly in Predator mode, which pulls out your field of vision so you feel like you're running around like a loony and totally out of touch with the control system. Besides which, the melee kills in Predator mode are far less fun than just shooting people in the head. Perhaps in recognition of this, the developers left in a handy use for your "Predatorine" (a gauge that fills up as you fight) that doesn't require using the annoying Predator mode; shake the nunchuk from side to side and you use up slots on the gauge to regain health.
The final factor which we listed as missing in action is the multiplayer mode of the game, which was satisfyingly comprehensive in other iterations of Far Cry. In this case, it's not actually that it's missing in action - it's turned up for duty alright, but it's missing quite a few vital organs and limbs. In fact, multiplayer here is restricted to a rather sad two-player split-screen mode which is even more flawed than the single-player offering - not least because it adds crippling framerate issues to the already tragic roster of graphical flaws suffered by the game.
Vengeance Served Cold
The Wii has one great FPS game to its name; unfortunately, that game is spread out over three distinctly disappointing titles. Combine the look and feel (and swordplay) of Red Steel, with the atmosphere, superb presentation and wonderful level design of Call of Duty 3, and pull it all together with the perfectly honed control system of Far Cry: Vengeance, and you'd have an amazing game. Right now, though, this is a mess. It's terribly badly presented and utterly lacking in the areas which make the Far Cry franchise great - but through all of that shines a genuinely good, easy to learn and downright fun control scheme.
In deciding on a final mark for Far Cry, it would be easy to weigh up all the things which the game gets wrong and decide that they balance out harshly. However, it's impossible to escape the fact that playing the game was actually quite compelling, in a sense; at no point was it an unpleasant game to play, it's merely completely retrograde in several key areas and lacking any sense of presentation or style. It's an ugly game, but one which, crucially, works as a game at its most basic level - which, to my mind, weighs heavily against the problems it has in most other areas. Be warned, though, that the just-about-average score is not even a particularly cautious recommendation - rather it is a tip of the hat to the key things that Far Cry does right, and a note of hope that better made games in future will learn from its successes rather than falling foul of its failures.

MIAMI — Henry Gray worked through his sophomore year for an elusive offer from Miami. Hurricanes cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph first started keeping in touch with the defensive back in the fall, when Gray was an emerging star at free safety for Miramar (Fla.) High School.
Gray possessed the physical tools the Hurricanes were looking for. Rumph just needed to see Gray’s sophomore film. If the tape was impressive enough, Miami would offer.
“They just told me I had to make plays,” Gray told DieHards, “so it wasn’t that hard for me.”
The offer finally came March 9 and quickly Gray lined up a visit for the Hurricanes’ underclassman day Saturday. By the end of day, Gray had given his pledge.
— Henry Gray (@D1bound_zay2121) March 31, 2018
The 4-star cornerback didn’t know for sure whether he’d make his decision Saturday, although he knew it was inevitable. Gray grew up rooting for Miami, and the Hurricanes became the most high-profile program courting the rising junior when they offered. Unless something surprising happened, Gray knew a commitment was only a matter of time.
“It was pretty surreal for me given I’m so young,” Gray said. “Growing up, watching them every day, it was pretty big for me, so I knew I was going to commit.”
Now at Miami Central High School, Gray holds offers from Louisville, Boston College, Syracuse, Kentucky, Arkansas, Baylor, South Florida and Florida Atlantic. The latest 247Sports.com rankings for the Class of 2020 peg Gray as the No. 71 overall player in the country.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pound prospect has ideal size, and with added muscle could easily develop into a true safety. He possesses good speed and his lankiness gives him an added bit of recovery ability.
Gray said he and Rumph have already talked about a potential landing spot with the Hurricanes. The assistant coach feels Gray is capable of playing anywhere in the secondary, although Gray admits he wants to play cornerback at the next level. Still, defensive coordinator Manny Diaz and safeties coach Ephraim Banda played significant roles in Gray’s recruitment.
“Very athletic kid, long with ideal size and speed that colleges are looking for. He’s a kid that did a tremendous job as a sophomore before he came here, making plays,” Miami Central coach Roland Smith told DieHards. “We’ve still got some fine tuning to do, but we’re looking forward to making sure he can be the type of player he can be when he leaves Miami Central.”
As other major programs become involved, Gray will hear out suitors. For now, though, he seems set in his pledge. The corner visited twice in a three-day span before committing, taking his first trip to Greentree Practice Fields on March 29.
The practices were exactly what Gray hoped he would see. More important, the underclassman day emphasized the familial atmosphere the Hurricanes pride themselves on.
“Miami is a private school, so it’s top-notch in education,” Gray said. “That was really big for me and just the family aspect. That was the biggest thing for me. It just feels like home and I’d be comfortable for three or four years there.”
