Heat pumps offer a great alternative to many HVAC systems but don’t last forever. What is the life expectancy of a heat pump? This guide uncovers how heat pumps work and when it may be time for a replacement.
The experts at Eastern Shore Heating and Air Conditioning provide various heat pump services so you can keep yours running efficiently. Call (732) 800-9416 to speak with a technician if your heat pump begins acting up or you suspect you need a replacement.
What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a hybrid mechanism that cools and heats your home, providing comfort throughout the year no matter what climate you live in.
Heat pumps do not run on coal or natural gas, making them an increasingly popular choice for homeowners looking to lower their carbon footprint. Global sales of heat pumps are on the rise thanks to their eco-friendly design. Their energy efficiency also results in lower utility bills for homeowners.
How Do Heat Pumps Work?
Dual-system heat pumps operate much like conventional air conditioners to cool your home. They feature a refrigerant that absorbs heat as soon as it flows into the unit’s evaporator coil. From there, the heat moves to an outdoor condenser unit and dissipates into the air.
During colder months, heat pumps work much differently than traditional heating systems. Their refrigeration cycle flips, so instead of transferring heat outside, the heat pump absorbs any warm air it can and brings it into your home. An air-source heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air, while ground-source heat pumps collect geothermal heat.
Benefits of Heat Pumps
Heat pumps provide a cleaner solution to heating and cooling. They don’t rely on fossil fuels, and their hybrid design is ideal for homeowners seeking a single HVAC system. Heat pumps are far more efficient than traditional furnaces and air conditioners.
People living in temperate climates where the temperature doesn’t drop below freezing can rely on a heat pump as their sole heating and cooling system. If you experience several bitter cold stretches, experts advise installing a gas furnace as a backup heating solution. However, heat pumps provide homeowners with financial relief on utility bills, even when running alongside a gas furnace as a supplemental heat source.
Heat pumps also emit less noise than traditional HVAC systems. A heat pump is a perfect solution if you’re looking to keep your home comfortable and quiet.
Signs You Need Heat Pump Replacement
The life expectancy of heat pumps is around 10 to 15 years. Thankfully, it can be easy to tell when you should replace yours. The following are common indicators that it is time to replace your heat pump:
- The unit emits strange noises
- Your energy bills suddenly increase
- You notice the air quality in your home isn’t what it used to be
- Your indoor temperatures fluctuate more than they should
Pay attention to how many years your heat pump has been in operation. As your system reaches the end of its average lifespan, it will likely experience performance issues. Call an HVAC specialist if your heat pump suddenly makes unusual noises, there’s a drop in your indoor air quality, you see an unexplained spike in your energy bill, or you experience uneven temperatures in your house.
How To Extend the Life Expectancy of Heat Pumps
Regular maintenance is key to getting the most out of your heat pump system. Proper care of your unit can help you get a full 15 years of dual heating and cooling with no issues.
Experts suggest scheduling professional inspections twice per year, ideally before the start of each heating and cooling season. This allows time to pinpoint any possible issues with your heat pump and address them before the outdoor temperatures drastically swing.
Compared to heating systems that use combustion, heat pumps require less maintenance. However, ignoring maintenance checks shortens the life expectancy of heat pumps and leads to major repairs down the road.

Scaled infrastructural development program to be realized in Kazakhstan - Nazarbayev
Astana. October 23. KazTAG - A scaled program of infrastructural development will be realized in Kazakhstan, said Kazakhstani President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
According to the press-service of the President, Nazarbayev declared on Wednesday that a scaled program of infrastructural development will be announced in the country.
"We need to construct many qualified motorways from the capital to all the regions of the state, which will serve to many generations. The construction will provide workplaces and provide orders to the companies, saving economy volumes in the country. The Government is working on these issues, Astana also should join them," said Nazarbayev.


If modern electrolytic caps are not stressed or operated at or over their rated voltage and the temperature is not high, they should last 50 maybe even 100 years. Shelf life is certainly this long.
Most caps in low-power electronics last virtually forever, however their performance will deteriorate over hundreds of years.
Electrolytics used in power amps are another story. Their temperature is usually elevated and they are constantly stressed by AC and high discharge currents, as well as power on current surges. Soft-start helps, so inrush limiters can prolong life. Failure is often catastrophic with the cap shorting and smoking, creating a lot of heat which usually destroys the circuit board. I would say 20-30 years if the amp is well-designed.

Basketball legend Dennis Rodman has already tried to calm international tensions by becoming best buddies with Kim Jong Un in North Korea, and now he’s taking on the Vatican. Rodders is in the Eternal City to support Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana who is bidding to become the first black Pope.
The self-styled ‘bad boy’ of basketball is spreading God’s word in the Vatican City and the global icon could be the man to restore the image of the Catholic Church.
A five-time NBA Champion, a professional wrestler, a film-star, a reality television contestant and now a leading world diplomat. Is there anything Dennis Rodman cannot do?
— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) March 12, 2013
Cardinal Turkson is 3/1 to be elected the new Pope behind the 11/4 favourite Archbishop Angelo Scola from Italy. Cardinal Odilo Scherer has seen plenty of support in the market and his odds have been slashed from 20/1 to 5/1.
Since Benedict XVI gave up being Pope for Lent, Papal prognosticators have punted over £500,000 speculating on who will fill his hat. The figure is set to rocket as the Conclave kicks off with ‘Pope betting’ firmly on track to become the biggest non-sporting market in Paddy Power’s history.
Will Rodman’s support be enough to propel Cardinal Peter Turkson to the peak of Catholicism? Only time will tell. It is well worth keeping your eyes on the Eternal City to see what Rodders gets up too.

Why PC Makers Are Saying Next Year
from the just-wait-'til-next-year dept
As has been discussed countless times before, the computer upgrade cycle is slowing down. While people used to upgrade their computers every three years or so, that’s being stretched longer and longer. Some suggest that, eventually, it’ll reach a standard cycle time of approximately 8 years. In the meantime, computer makers are looking to come up with new reasons why users should upgrade – and while it’s convincing some people, it’s unlikely to lead to real computer sales boom.

It seems like the kind of strange incident that occurs in a film like Alien or Prometheus.
But it was apparently all too real for Apollo 10 astronauts Eugene Cernan and John Young, who orbited to the far side of the moon in 1970, and heard a strange "whistling sound" that was unlike any sound they had ever heard before.
According to a video posted by the Science Channel on YouTube, the astronauts chose not to brief the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) about the experience they had for fear of being grounded over concerns for their "state of mind".
As such, their conversation was buried for 40 years until transcripts of the audio recordings were released and made public in 2008.
According to CNN, Michael Collins, who was the first person to fly around the far side of the moon, also recalled hearing "an eerie woo-woo sound" in his book 'Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey'.
He also added that radio technicians explained to him that that the noise was caused by "interference" when the radio in his colleagues Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's vehicle was turned on and close to his vehicle.
This was also corroborated by a NASA technician who is interviewed in the video.
The strange noise also stopped after Aldrin and Armstrong's module landed on the moon.
However, most YouTube users seemed to take issue with how the video seemed to making the issue bigger than it is.
This includes user Doug Holmes who asked his "fellow Americans" to "stop making documentaries with a horror movie like vibe. It ruins the credibility of the material".
It turns out the alien conspiracy was only a conspiracy - for now, at least.

World number one and Wimbledon defending champion, Novak Djokovic has secured a semifinal spot after cruising past Marton Fucsovics on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old Serb, who is looking to seal a 20th major singles title, defeated 29-year-old Fucsovics 6-3 6-4 6-4 to advance.
Djokovic will now play Canadian 10th seed Denis Shapovalov, who beat Russian 25th seed Karen Khachanov, on Friday in the semis.
Djokovic won the French Open last month to seal a 19th Grand Slam title, and is now two wins from a record-equalling 20th men’s major.
The tally is currently jointly held by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, with Federer also in the race for the Wimbledon title as he faces Hubert Hurkacz in another quarterfinal clash on Wednesday.
“It was a solid performance,” said Djokovic, who recorded his 100th career win on a grass court.
“I started off extremely well, there were not too many things wrong in the first six games.
“Then, one break of serve in the second and third sets were enough. Credit to Marton for hanging in there.”
Five-time champion Djokovic has dropped only one set on his way to the last four.

Party plenum promotes two generals and confirms Bo Xilai expulsion
The Communist Party central committee plenum announces two appointments to top military body, and confirms expulsion of Bo Xilai
Two military generals were appointed as vice-chairmen of the powerful Central Military Commission yesterday when the Communist Party's senior leaders wrapped up a four-day closed-door conclave which also formally expelled the disgraced politician Bo Xilai .
Fan Changlong, commander of Jinan Military Command, which oversees large parts of eastern China, and the former air force commander Xu Qiliang will join the party's top decision-making military body, Xinhua said in a report yesterday. The announcements were made on the last day of the seventh plenum of the party's Central Committee.
The plenum also endorsed an earlier decision by the Politburo to expel Bo, the former Chongqing party boss, as well as Liu Zhijun, the former railway minister, Xinhua said. Bo and Liu can now be expected to face criminal charges.
The plenum also promoted two alternate Central Committee members, Wang Xuejun, 60, deputy secretary general of the State Council, and General Wang Jianping, 58, commander of the People's Armed Police Force, to full members of the committee, filling the void left by Bo and Liu.
The 365 senior party officials who attended the secretive four-day meeting at Jingxi Hotel also discussed and approved an amendment to the party constitution, Xinhua said.
It did not identify the change, but there has been speculation the party may strip out mention of the late paramount leader Mao Zedong's ideology, known as "Mao Zedong Thought". The plenum communiqué did not mention Mao, marking at least the third time it has subtly dropped references to Mao since October, a move seen by some as sending a signal about the party's intent on reform.
The official report on the meeting otherwise shed little light on what of substance was discussed.
Fan, 65, and Xu Qiliang, 62, are both expected to be promoted to the Politburo at the party congress later this week.
It is widely believed that Xu is a protégé of former president Jiang Zemin, while Fan was a key member of the PLA's "northeast army" headed by the former CMC vice-chairman General Xu Caihou and also a close ally to the defence minister, General Liang Guanglie.
Anthony Wong Dong, a veteran PLA watcher based in Macau, said President Hu Jintao might have compromised by appointing Xu Qiliang to the top post in exchange for retaining the CMC chair for a year or two.
Given his relatively old age of 65, Fan was considered a "dark horse" in vying for the vice-chairman position and in beating a strong competitor, General Chang Wanquan, 63, former director of the General Armaments Department.
As a result, Chang would most likely take up the position as the defence minister, succeeding the outgoing Liang.

Mumbai Rains: Schools, colleges closed, flights cancelled | AIB
The torrential rain hit Mumbai and its outskirts for the second day, prompting a massive interruption in-flight procedures, delaying suburban train services and forcing a large number of people to stay indoors. However, even though the heavy downpour towards the latter half of September came as a surprise, civic services were not as badly hit as the last time.
Schools and colleges in Mumbai metropolitan region were ordered closed given torrential rains, no deaths or significant damage to property are reported.
Air services at the Mumbai terminal were miscued, with 108 flights canceled and extra 51 redirected to nearby airports till this morning due to massive rain and closing of the main runway after a SpiceJet aircraft skidded, overshot the runway and got stuck in the mud, blocking it, an airport official said.
Data from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) explained that over 24 hours, Mumbai recorded about 304 mm of rain, the 312mm standard set for the whole month of September—which means it rained in one day almost as much as it usually does over a month!
The sudden force of this spell was visible from the evidence that it was the second wettest September day in IMD’s over 100-year recorded history. “The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that owing to climate change we’ll keep seeing such torrential rains over short intervals,” said Prof Kapil Gupta of IIT, referring to the extreme nature of the phenomenon.
The ongoing spell of torrential downpour accompanied by gusty winds prompted waterlogging in new areas. Not just the usual low-lying areas of Khar and Kalina, even parts of western outskirts such as Dahisar, Marol, and Bandra that unusually report waterlogging were immersed in knee-deep waters.
Vehicular traffic was moving but at a slower pace, including on the Eastern and Western Express Highway, the two major arterial roads in the metropolis.

Have you ever had one of those days fishing where it seemed like you could do no wrong? Like everything you tried resulted in fish being caught? And not only fish being caught, but large fish being caught? This was all probably due to the moon and what phase the moon was in. That's right, something as simple as what phase the moon is in can have an effect on your fishing success.
Earth's Moon Reveals An Ancient Secret. Many astronomers think that during an ancient era, termed the Late Heavy Bombardment, our young Moon was violently battered by a marauding multitude of invading asteroids that crashed onto its newly formed surface. This attack of pelting objects from space occurred about 4 billion years ago, and the shower of crashing asteroids excavated impact craters, and also slashed open deep fissures, in the lunar crust. This sustained shower of merciless impacts increased lunar porosity, and opened up an intertwining network of large seams under the Moon's surface.

Its celebration time yet again for actor Salman Khan and his family as his younger sister Arpita Khan Sharma is expecting her first child. Arpita tied knot with Aayush Sharma in November 2014 in a lavish ceremony organised in Hyderabad’s Falaknuma Palace. The confirmation was made by Arpita’s elder brother and actor Arbaaz Khan through a leading daily newspaper, The Indian Express.
When Arbaaz was quizzed by the reporter regarding the reactions in the family, the actor in return asked the journalist about the feeling in the family during this time. The reporter replied saying that the people around should be happy. Commenting on that, Arbaaz said, “You have answered my question.”
Rumours erupted when Arpita was spotted with a baby bump during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival in their home. Many people started making accusations. However, no one from the duo has confirmed this matter through any of the social networking websites.
During an event, when Salman Khan was asked about the surge in pregnancy rumours of Arpita, he simply laughed off and refused to make any kind of comments. The actress is expected to deliver the baby early next year. We wish her good luck!


Researchers from Ben-Gurion University, studying hidden methods of data transmission from isolated computers, have developed a new method organization of a communication channel called «AIR-FI», which allows, through manipulating DDR memory chips, generate a radio signal at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, which can be captured by a device enabled for Wi-Fi several meters away.
From a practical point of view, the method can be used to transfer encryption keys, passwords, and secret data from a computer that has no network connection and is infected with spyware or malware.
Los investigadores managed to achieve a transfer rate of 100 bits per second placing receivers Wi-Fi, such as a smartphone or laptop, at a distance of 180 cm. The transmission error rate was 8,75%, but error correcting codes were used to identify and correct transmission faults.
To organize a data transfer channel, just start a normal user process, what it can be run in a virtual machine. For reception, a device with a wireless chip capable of low-level air monitoring is required (in the experiment, wireless adapters based on Atheros AR92xx and AR93xx chips were used with modified firmware that transmit information about the signal parameters suitable for spectral analysis).
When generating a signal, DDR4-2400 memory capacity was used operating at a frequency of 2400 MHz to generate electromagnetic interference when the controller accesses the memory module through different data buses.
The Wi-Fi range falls in the frequencies 2.400-2.490 GHz, that is, it crosses the frequency at which the memory operates.
Los investigadores have found that with heavy traffic simultaneous on different data buses, electromagnetic waves are emitted at a frequency of 2,44 Ghz, which are captured by the 802.11 wireless stack.
With memory modules other than DDR4-2400, the method is applicable when the memory frequency is programmatically changed, which is allowed in the XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) specification.
To generate a signal, simultaneous access to the bus was used from parallel execution threads tied to different CPU cores. Information encoding useful in signal is carried out using OOK modulation simpler (on-off encoding) with amplitude shift keying (ASK), in which "0" and "1" are encoded by setting different signal amplitudes, and information is transmitted at a fixed rate. - one bit per millisecond.
Transfer "1" performs a series of memory writes caused by the sequential copying of 1 MB of data between the two arrays. When transmitting "0", the algorithm takes no action during the time allotted to transmit a bit. Therefore, the transmission of "1" generates the signal emission, and the transmission of "0" the signal disappears.
Among the measures to counteract the use of the AIR-FI method, the zoning of the territory is mentioned with the creation of a perimeter in the organizationn, within which it is prohibited to carry equipment with wireless chips, as well as placing the computer case in a Faraday cage, generating noise on Wi-Fi frequencies, starting background processes that are randomly performed memory operations and monitoring the appearance in the system of suspicious processes that perform abnormal memory operations.
In addition, on the researchers page, a selection of transmission methods is formed of hidden data they identified using electromagnetic, acoustic, thermal and light leakage forms:
- PowerHammer: Organize the sending of data over the power line, manipulate the load on the CPU to change the power consumption. ODINI: Demonstrations of data extraction from a device located in a shielded room (Faraday cage) by analysis low frequency magnetic oscillations that occur during CPU operation.
- MAGNETO: data extraction based on the measurement of magnetic field fluctuations that occur during CPU operation.
- AirHopper: data transfer at a rate of up to 60 bytes per second from a PC to a smartphone through analysis on a smartphone with an FM tuner of radio interference that occurs when information is displayed on the screen.
- BitWhisper - Data transfer over a distance of up to 40cm at a rate of 1-8 bits per hour by measuring fluctuations in the temperature of the PC case.
- GSMem: extraction of data at a distance of up to 30 meters by creating electromagnetic interference on the frequency of GSM networks captured by the smartphone.

Probably the biggest speculation today is the announcement of Salman Khan’s next movie on Eid 2020 and the last few week has been fuelled with the superstar’s denying that his movie was called Radhe. We can tell you now that Radhe was all but finalised (including the script) till just a week ago but things apparently, fell apart and that movie is not happening now.
Bollywood Hungama was the first to tell you that the Salman Khan was reuniting with his Bharat producers, Atul Agnihotri and Nikhil Namit for a hard-core masala entertainer – the exception being that it would also be produced by Salman Khan Productions. There were also reports that the movie was titled Radhe but while admitting that his Eid 2020 release would be directed by his Dabangg 3 director, Prabhu Dheva, he had denied that the movie was called Radhe.
Says a trade source, “Recently, when asked about a movie called Radhe, releasing on Eid, Salman had denied it, adding that Prabhu Dheva would direct it. But buzz is that Radhe was almost happening but for various reasons didn’t. After Inshallah got postponed indefinitely, Salman was searching for a script. He got two – one a Korean remake and the other a masala entertainer. One thing was certain – whichever was finalised, the film would be directed by Prabhu Dheva. Salman is extremely impressed with the director’s work in Dabangg 3, his massy connect and the fact that everything is on schedule. The massy entertainer was finalised and titled Radhe because in both his movies (Tere Naam and Wanted) where he is called Radhe, they have turned out to be blockbusters.”
The source adds that even the poster for Radhe had been designed and kept ready. “Atul Agnihotri, Nikhil Namit and Salman were ready with the announcement but something happened last week and the project fall apart. While the buzz is that they discovered just before the announcement that the story was similar to another movie and the title is with someone else – only a few (including Salman) know what the truth is. The story was based in the heartlands of North India and the final draft (with Salman’s inputs) was complete with rumours of the star playing a double role. Salman had planned to announce the movie, after he began shooting for it.”
Now the hunt for a fresh script is on again. The source adds, “Salman won’t leave Eid 2020. His fans expect it and it’s a box-office bonanza for everybody around. No other star except Salman enjoys that kind of BO success on Eid so it’s natural that his release comes on that day. This project is very important to Salman and he is taking keen interest himself in every department. There is another script that they are looking at. The movie will definitely be a musical entertainer with great action and a love story for both the multiplex audience and single-screens like the Dabangg franchise.”

The FMDH Radiology Department provides a variety of diagnostic image testing ranging from basic X rays to complex MRI and CT scans. FMDH is committed to maintaining the technology necessary for our physicians to provide excellent patient care while practicing progressive medicine.
The Radiologic Technicians (RT) in the FMDH Radiology Department capture diagnostic images that must then be examined by a physician with specialized training in Radiology. FMDH is proud to have a full time Radiologist on staff. The Radiology Staff at FMDH is highly trained in capturing diagnositc images. Our radiological technicians must meet strict licensing requirements established by the state of Montana.
What makes an R.T. qualified to perform your exam?
Radiologic technologists use knowledge of physics, radiation protection, human anatomy, and a mastery of highly technical equipment to create medical images. They work closely with Radiologists, who are physicians trained to interpret the images. Medical imaging examinations often are the first tool doctors use to diagnose illness or injury so that treatment can begin.
To become certified, a radiologic technologist must complete at least 2 years of education in the radiologic sciences and pass a comprehensive national certification examination. Some states, including Montana, also require a practitioner to be licensed. Certified technologists are known as registered technologists and can use the credentials "R.T." after their names. To maintain certification and keep up advances in the profession, technologists must earn a minimum of 24 continuing education credits every two years.
What does it matter that a qualified R.T. takes your exam?
The one thing that all medical imaging procedures have in common is that they must be accurate and precise. An image is only as good as the person who takes it; a treatment is only as effective as the individual who administers it. How can you be sure that a qualified competent professional is performing your radiologic exam or procedure? Just ask. It is the minimum expectation of patient care that our staff introduce themselves to you when you are in our facility for services. So, when you meet the person who will perform your examination, ask them if they are licensed by the state or if they are certified by a national agency. In addition to asking about qualifications, you should ask questions about the procedure you're scheduled to receive. A competent Radiologic Technologist will be able to explain to you the procedures in detail, help you prepare for it, and tell you what to expect.

In a similar vein to the issue of a woman paired romantically with a man old enough to be her father [why this is a problem
], here we have Juliette Lewis (b. 1973) playing the mother of Ryan Guzman (b. 1987). At only 14 years older than him, this borders on the preposterous, and is indicative of Hollywood’s disdain for casting women in age-appropriate roles once they’re out of their 30s. (An actor in her 50s or 60s would be more age-appropriate for this role, but that would be beyond the pale for the industry.)
In most movies featuring a “team” of characters, those characters are usually almost all male and fall into “types”: the leader, the nerd, the jock, and — sometimes — “the girl,” as if “female” were a “type” of person, and that no woman could ever be both female and a leader, a nerd, etc. Here, however, the cast is almost entirely female and they fall into team types: the leader, the hacker, the fashionista, etc. Most of these characters are not well developed, but a female team made up of women with different skills and interests is still a step in the right direction.

Detoxing at the root of fashion
Change is most difficult but also most effective when it happens at the root of a problem. This is why we are now working with Italy’s Prato region to Detox the companies that supply renowned fashion brands, including Gucci, Prada and Armani.
As of today, 20 companies in the Prato textile district, the oldest in Italy, have joined the Greenpeace Detox campaign. They have already made great strides to remove hazardous chemicals from their factories and they are eager to make more.
Believes in Sustainability
Along with a group of companies of the CPF, we set out on this path by defining a Charter of Values fir Sustainability which is articulated on several points:
- Traceability in the supply chain: from the procurement of raw materials to the last phase of working inside or outside the company
- Meeting standards and international conventions on human rights
- Respect and dignity of life of every living thing
- Protection of the environment and biodiversity: limiting the environmental impact of production with use and prudent management of chemical substances
It 's inevitable that the production process becomes fully sustainable in relation to consumers, customers, employees and the entire community, and because of the path we have undertaken, will become reality quickly
Our forest grows up!
With TREEDOM Industria Italiana Filati renews and supports a project in Africa.

Louis more able to meet his needs. During World War I, there was a shortage of butter and Dazey developed a churn where you could add one pound of butter and one pound of milk and end up with two pounds of butter. The company did very well during the war. In the late 's Dazey introduced a wall type can opener with a cutting wheel that revolutionized the can opener industry.
At this time the churn business was beginning to decline due to many farmers moving to the cities and Dazey began producing other kitchen items. By the end of World War II, Dazey began manufacture other products, and by the 's the brand was sold to Landers, Frary and Clark, the manufacturers of Universal products, and eventually to the Rival Company who eventually killed the brand.
Whey strainers on Dazey churns were not at first used. Probably around there was introduced a oval type whey strainer with a removable top. This was soon followed by a rather squarish designed slip in unit that did it job fairly well. After the old Square shoulder jars disappeared from the scene and the slopped shoulder jar came in being.
The Patented date would indicate that in , Feb. One of the more unusual models, used in the s, was a metal and tin framed butter churn with wooden dashers and gears. Louis area produced discounted models. Dazey and the Blow Churn company in England collaborated on several models. Blow churns were made in most of the same sizes that our American churns were made in.

Hand made churn butter was a daily staple, often a family member had the chore of making butter once a week. In the later part of the 's a new churn was introduced by Dazey Churn Co.
On the bottom of the Jar held all of the company information. These units were also famous for its red football designed cover of the metal gears that powered the paddles below. These are reported to have came in 2,4,6,and 8 sizes. These churns were just before the electric models came into being and were not manufactured long.
Some of the later types of these had a built in whey strainer on the metal cap part. Thousands of companies in some way lead to the making of Butter Churns after the 's and up into nearly the mid 's. Several dozen churn designs were patented a year. Some of the earliest patents were in the mid 's and continued into the 's, probably over churn patent entries.
After the cream was churned, the resulting butter still needed to be worked and paddled to remove the excess water.
Old Time Churns Butter Up Collectors
Often done by hand, simply by working the butter in a large wooden bowl, the water removal process could be quickened by the use of a simple machine called a butter worker. These old gadgets date to the early s and look like a flat box, fitted with a corrugated wooded roller turned by a crank. After removing water, the butter was shaped into butter molds and stamped. Usually showing a design of flowers, animals, fruit and such, some butter molds had initials. In early years, butter would be marked to show the farm or family that made it. There were even small molds that shaped butter into the three-dimensional look of an animal or acorn, like a butterball.

Located in the Sacramento Valley, the 13th District Agricultural Association better known as the Yuba-Sutter Fair is long on history and tradition. The first fair was held in Marysville, Yuba County and was actually the California State Fair in August of 1858. Agricultural societies were organized and the first state fairs were held on a rotating basis. The first state fair was held in San Francisco in 1854, the second in Sacramento, the third in San Jose, the fourth in Stockton and the fifth in Marysville. Thereafter, the state fair was held annually in Sacramento; however, our district fair continued to be held at the pavilion erected at Cortez Square in Marysville. There were 16 fairs held between the years 1858 and 1879. The district fairs were held until the turn of the century and then continuity of fair activities is difficult to trace. Sometime in this era, the idea of holding a county fair replaced the district plan. In the 1920's, noteworthy fairs were held near Browns Valley and the community of Arboga. Originally, the 13th District Agricultural Association comprised of counties Yuba, Sutter, Yolo and Sacramento. Decentralization resulted in the exclusion of Sacramento County in 1889 and Yolo County left in 1893.
In the early 1930's, a group of interested citizens established a rodeo arena at the Flying I Ranch in the Arboga District. A half-mile racetrack plus pens and a building for livestock exhibits was constructed. At the same time, other exhibits were displayed in the Yuba county Memorial Auditorium. This was used for the annual fairs and rodeo until 1940. Later it was deemed advisable to obtain a site more centrally located and covenant to the residents of Marysville and Yuba City. Consequently in July 1941 a ten-acre tract of land at our current site was purchased for $1,020. Activities were halted abruptly during the war years. Additional adjacent land was purchased and the fair has been held annually since 1945, although the severe flood of 1955 curtailed operations that year.
Today the 13th District Agricultural Fair is one of fifty-four district agricultural associations. Twenty-four county fairs, two citrus fairs and the state fair make up the 81 State Fair system.

Pellegrino is 33 years old and has been a nurse since 2011. As he himself likes to explain, his decision to make this career move was driven by a desire to try and contribute to safeguarding the health of the people around him and those he will meet along the way. Pellegrino is a shift nurse operating within a Dialysis and Transplant Unit, mainly dealing with emergencies.
“My job is demanding – says Pellegrino – when a transplant organ becomes available, I know that a patient’s life can change forever. I see how important this profession is every day, and I know that so many nurses do all they can to help and support patients and their families”.
Pellegrino adores his job and thinks it has sometimes been undervalued. Pellegrino believes it has been possible to go on thanks to the sacrifices made by nurses over the years, yet today perhaps,“…the misconception surrounding our profession has been refuted and everyone has realised how vital our function is to the healthcare sector”.

ABOUT EPISODE 5
This was the first episode that introduced other characters to the series, namely Tash (as played by Katherine Painter). The idea was to bring in two supporting characters who each had different points of view to Jake and Alana, especially when it comes to online relationships. That concept will be looked into far more deeply in future episodes. I also experimented with different camera angles and more comedy like timing here, to see what would work and what wouldn’t.
* Episode 5 was filmed after Episode 6, though released first to bridge the gap between two Alana specific episodes.
* An iPhone 5 was used to film Jake’s video message to Alana.
* The post credits sequence was added to show Alana’s reaction to Jake’s message, but also emphasise the point that her feelings for him were beginning to grow.

Representative Diego Bernal called the vote “soul-crushing.”
Almost all Texas Republicans in the House voted to allow police officers to question children about immigration status during Wednesday’s heated debate on so-called sanctuary cities.
The vote was cast during debate on Senate Bill 4, which could jail local law enforcement officials who refuse to assist enforcing federal immigration law or enact such policies. Under the version of SB 4 that passed the Senate earlier this session, local law enforcement agencies are prohibited from enacting policies that stop officers from questioning detained individuals about immigration status.
The initial House version of the bill limited the scope of police authority, only allowing cops to interrogate about immigration status when individuals are under arrest. However, Representative Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, on Wednesday added the “detention” language back to the House bill.
Representative Diego Bernal, a San Antonio Democrat who called SB 4 “show-me-your-papers legislation” earlier in the debate, then attempted to add an exemption for children to that section of the bill.
Bernal said that all lawmakers, regardless of political party, should be able to agree that children should not be subject to a police interrogation about their immigration status. He challenged lawmakers who planned to vote against his amendment to debate its merits before a record vote was called, but no one accepted and the chamber voted 55-89.
Most of the votes on amendments earlier in the debate fell along party lines, but two Republicans — Jason Villalba, of Dallas, J.D. Sheffield, of Gatesville — voted in support of Bernal’s amendment, along with all present Democrats.

On Thursday, the federal Public Safety Department said that they have arrested a 14-year-old boy nicknamed ‘El Chapito’ for the killing of eight people near Mexico City on January 22. Earlier, another man was arrested for the killing, while seven were taken in on drug-related charges.

Who is El Chapito?
‘El Chapito’ is the literal translation of ‘Little Chapo’- a reference to the drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. The 14-year-old boy who killed eight people was presumably a child killer, according to NBC News.
El Chapito rode up on a motorcycle and shot dead eight members of a family in the low-income suburb of Chimalhuacan, near Mexico City.
The victims were reportedly celebrating a birthday party at the time of their killing. Apart from the dead, five adults and two children were injured.
Also read: What did Saint Patrick say about the Holy Trinity in Christianity? Exploring the spiritual significance of St Patrick’s day
The motive of the killing has not been made public. However, such drug-related killings are common in Mexico. The rivalry among drug cartels and territorial wars often leads to violence in the form of kidnapping and contract killing. Often, people are killed for owing money.
Similar incidents of child killers in Mexico
Criminal gangs in Mexico are known to recruit children as young as 12 years old to carry out violent acts, including murder.
Back in 2010, a young boy of 14, who went by the moniker “El Ponchis,” was apprehended by soldiers. He said that he was abducted at the tender age of 11 and coerced into serving the Cartel of the South Pacific, which was a faction of the fragmented Beltran Leyva gang.
According to his confession, he had partaken in no less than four beheadings.

LI Policy Committee chairman Jon Lovell said: "We welcome the bill, but we believe that there is sufficient credible evidence to suggest that the 60 per cent target is inadequate and should be increased to at least 80 per cent now and not wait for the proposed climate change committee to report on the matter in 2009. Indeed, 80 per cent should be the very minimum target for the Government."
The bill, hailed by the Government as "landmark legislation" for being the first bill of its kind in the world, also set out plans for a new committee on climate change to give expert advice on the issue.
Lovell said the landscape architecture profession should be represented on this committee as it provides a vital service in dealing with climate change.
"The holistic approach of landscape architecture to place-shaping means that landscape architects know how to adapt our towns, cities and countryside to the changing climate and, given the importance of the landscape architecture profession in the fight against climate change, we would call for representation on the climate change committee.
"Whatever we do as a nation to deal with this crisis must be supported by the expertise of professionals who understand the living environment at every scale from the local neighbourhood to the regional landscape."
A recent survey of LI members showed that 73 per cent of landscape architects have successfully influenced clients to consider climate change issues.
In addition, work done by landscape architects in Boscastle, Cornwall, after the town suffered flooding in 2004, prevented a repeat this summer.
The issue of climate change was addressed at the LI's annual conference earlier this month when DEFRA secretary Hilary Benn acknowledged that landscape architects played a crucial role in tackling climate change and spoke of the need to devote more time and energy to green infrastructure.

Have mentioned a few times that Erika, Manatsu and Nanami will be appearing in a movie coming out on December 6th called "Three of Research Department", don't know the full synopsis but the trio is supposed to be into psychic powers and UFOs. In the film the characters names are-
Manatsu: Ryoko Yamazaki
Erika: Ikuko Murata
Nanami: Azumi Kogure
On November 9th the first screening was held for the film and the trio was joined by the director of the film Yamashita who is in a few of these pics. Hopefully there will be a few more screenings or promo events for the movie and if so will be back of course with news and pics from them. The film was based on a manga that started in 2010 called "Shiti Raitsu" which was written by Hiroyuki Ohashi, have read a lot of mangas but that one I've never read or heard of though it does take a while for them to reach our shores. No video of the event of is out yet but have quite a few superb pics from the screening.
Welcome to my humble site....
Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Keyakizaka46... Erina Mano... Nogizaka46!.... C-ute.... Lee Yeon-Hee!.... if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the right place(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!
Also these days(mid-2017) have many posts for Korean actresses, dramas and films that are worth checking out as over the years have become a much bigger fan of Korean dramas versus the ones from Japan.
Few tidbits.... have no idea why the background color constantly changes, think Blogger keeps doing it.
New item on the right is the 'Featured Post of the Day', will be putting some fabulous oldie posts which some of you may have missed the first time around, all will be at least one year old.

Objectives: determining the prevalence of intraepithelial squamous lesions and the diagnostic validity of endocervical curettage in patients having cytology reporting atypical glandular cells. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out from January 2000 to June 2006 at La Samaritana teaching hospital, this institution being classified as a third-level hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. Selection criteria consisted of complete information being available regarding the patients' cytology concerning having atypical glandular cells, colposcopy and endocervical curettage. SPSS statistical software (version 15) was used for processing the data. Results: the records of 105 women having had a positive cytology for atypical glandular cells were analysed. Cervical intraepithelial lesion prevalence was 53% in women having atypical glandular cells, 7% of them having high grade intraepithelial squamous lesions and 46.5% low grade lesions. Endocervical curettage revealed that 86.7% were negative for lesions and 13.3% had low grade intraepithelial lesions. 22 samples provided insufficient data. Histopathological exocervical epithelium results proved negative in 46.5% of cases; a similar 46.5% had low grade intraepithelial lesions and 7% high grade lesions. Agreement between exocervical biopsy and endocervical curettage resulted in a 0.07 Kappa score. Conclusion: there was a high prevalence of intraepithelial cervical lesion, being found in 53% of women having atypical cells. None of these women had positive result for squamocellular carcinoma or adenocarcenoma.
Palabras clave: Diagnosis, vaginal smear, cervical
intraepithelial neoplasia, screening, biopsy, agegroup.

Ultraviolet radiation around Urmia Lake has increased four-fold over the past 10 years due to the decreasing water level, according to an official at the Urmia Lake Restoration Program.
The harmful effects from exposure to ultraviolet radiation can be classified from acute to chronic. The acute effects of UV exposure are both short-lived and reversible. The chronic effects can be serious, even life threatening, and include premature aging of the skin, suppression of the immune system, damage the eyes and cause skin cancer.
UV rays can also damage the eyes as more than 99% of radiation is absorbed by the front of the eyes. Corneal damage, cataracts, and macular degeneration are all possible chronic effects from UV exposure and could lead to blindness.
Urmia Lake’s water level is expected to drop as the mercury rises in the hot seasons. This summer is forecast to be around 1.8 degrees Celsius warmer than last year.
The lake’s area has more than tripled since 2013—when the ULRP was formed— from 700 to 2,500 square kilometers, but that’s not enough to curtail the dangerous impact of UV exposure.
Located between the provinces of East and West Azarbaijan, Urmia Lake has been facing serious drought for years. Its severe water loss is attributed to climate change, the long dry spell, unrestrained damming and irresponsible water use, especially in the agriculture sector.

Stanford Engineer Gary Craig developed EFT tapping as a self-help tool for people struggling with painful emotions that traditional medical and psychological treatments had been unable to help. It […]

Midland-Odessa = North Side-South Side Chicago
It's been 14 months for me. I moved to West Texas in July 2020 to take this job at the stations, and I loved the area from the minute I saw it for the first time coming here for the job interview in June last year. The people are fantastic, I love warmer weather so last summer was absolutely amazing (for some reason Mother Nature wants to remind me of Illinois this summer with all this higher than usual humidity we're experiencing), and as far as what is here to enjoy-there really isn't much I miss about the Chicago area other than a few restaurants I loved back there that don't exist here-but that's another article.
Speaking of being reminded of Illinois-growing up on the North side of Chicago (where those pesky Cubs fans all come from), you learned early-on that there was a divide between sides of the city. White Sox fans were South-Siders--simply by the location of each stadium where they play. And if you lived there--YOU DIDN'T LIKE BOTH TEAMS. Chicago could come together on Basketball, Football, Hockey--even Soccer. But baseball--be careful out there!!! Which, after being here for a short time-I came to learn about the dynamic being the same between Midland and Odessa.
I haven't seen the movie "Friday Night Lights" but I had heard about the premise of the movie way back when it came out--so I'd heard of the area and the stories way prior to coming here. And my wife and I just finished the TV series of the same name on Netflix, even though the fake name of the town is Dillon, TX instead of keeping it real. I know both cities are very passionate about their high school teams--just maybe not to the level they depict in the tv show. Of course I understand they have to add drama to make stories interesting to the masses sometimes. So help me out here--call us in the morning or comment below and educate me on just HOW passionate this area is--and tell me how close to reality these shows really are. I love football as much as anyone (Go Chiefs!!) so I'd love to hear all about and SHARE your passion for local athletes and our programs right here in the Basin!

Did I mention the cupboard still brimming with jars of marinara and puttanesca sauces, pureed tomatoes, and diced tomatoes? The blobs of tomato paste in the freezer? Apparently I've forgotten how I complained about "the tyranny of the tomato patch" as I picked and pureed and simmered
my way through August. September. October. (It was a long season.)
I rationalize. I had such great luck with the heirloom varieties (Goliath, Anna Russian, Costoluto, and Marmande) last summer that I can't resist trying them again. I even grew this beauty!
How can I not try for a 20-ouncer this year?
But if this year turns out to be a "cabbage summer" the big beautiful heirloom varieties won't ripen so I need a couple of San Marzanos for sauce, even though I prefer the Costolutos. And if it's a really chilly damp summer, I know I can rely on Ferline and Legend to fight the blight, and for Sungella to ripen no matter what. The obligatory new variety, Mr. Stripey aka Tigerella, promises great yields and wonderful flavor in only 57 days.
I thought I was done with cherry tomatoes but last fall I discovered a method for oven-drying tomatoes and I've been enjoying them all winter in salads, scattered over roasted vegetables, pureed to flavor stews, and just for snacking on.
Finally there are the seeds for a variety from the Azores, Coracao de bois, a gift from a fellow gardener. I can't wait to see how it performs in the Pacific Northwest, but no matter what, it will be a reminder of a lovely afternoon with one of my favorite garden bloggers.
Did I mention the hereditary nature of this disease? I remember my mother used to start literally hundreds of tomatoes in the house every spring. They covered every window sill and the dining room table. I have reason to suspect at least one of my siblings is similarly afflicted.
I guess until they find a cure for Lycopersicomania I'll be grateful for fellow gardeners who seem happy to take my extra plants off my hands. And I guess we'll be having pasta with tomato sauce for dinner tonight. Gotta' use it up in the next 4 months!
