Wide Spectrum Fluorescent Tubes

Noble Gases And Creation Of Neon Signs

If you had ever thought what was the specialty of noble gases being use in neon lights and why not other gases… here we have the answer for you.

It all started during the late 1800’s. Many physicists and mainly Sir William Crookes began their experimentation to observer and analyze what radiations are produced in evacuated tubes in which a small amount of elemental gases were let in, during which an arc was struck between electrodes inside the evacuated tube containing a little amount of elemental gas. Surprisingly the physicists observed that a lot of wide-ranging colored effects came out depending on what gases were introduced. Only after 1910 the first proper functional application of elucidating signs became came into existence. The French Physicist, Claude Georges invented the first neon light and chose to take neon as the filling. The important thing in this process to note is that following right pressure and voltage is responsible for the resultant deep red color glow

Now here we have to see how noble gases were used in the creation of neon lights and neon sign boards. The two most general and most commonly found plasma devices used is the fluorescent light bulb and the almost similar neon sign. In view of the fact that their growth in the 1940’s, fluorescent bulbs have become the lighting fixture of alternative in  commercial centers, factories, schools and many other places as they are starting to be establish more extensively in residence areas as well.

In most of the cases, the light produced from the fluorescent light bulbs look white. Guess how this white color comes? This white color is a mixture of all of the colors of the visible spectrum, just like how it works with sunlight.

When it comes to the fluorescent bulb, the matter that is in fact responsible for the glowing is a white colored powder that is applied to the inner wall of the bulb’s long glass tube. This powder is nothing but the phosphor. Even though it may not have any phosphorus in it, it gives the white light we see through a process which is known as fluorescence. This is the process which is the foundation of the given name as the ‘fluorescent’ light bulbs.

The process of fluorescence takes place when an atom or molecule attracts and keeps inside the energy from some the source, for example a photon of light, or a collision with another atom. Followed by this an amount of energy is on the loose and discharged in the form of light in two or more successive steps of reaction.

Cat Flu Kittens

Several Types of Vaccinations for Your Kitten

In recent years, the vaccination of cats has become more popular. The three most common vaccines give protection against feline infectious enteritis (FIE), feline influenza (cat flu) and feline leukaemia (FeLV). An initial course of two injections, the first at nine weeks are usually given, and yearly boosters are recommended thereafter.  

FIE causes vomiting and diarrhoea, and the cat develops a very high tenperature. Before the vaccine was introduced, it killed a great many cats by dehydration due to the bowel symptoms. Cat flu is caused by two viruses: the feline rhinotracheitis (FCV). FVR is the more severe of the two, causing coughing, sneezing, and nasal and eye discharges.

FVC has milder discharges but more gum inflammation and mouth ulcers. Neither FCV nor FVR is usually deadly but the infection can linger on in the form of snuffles, and some cats become symptomless carriers of the disease. When stressed, these cats develop mild symptoms and spread the virus.

FeLV suppresses the activity of the cat’s immune system, allowing a wide range of symptoms to develop. It often results in the death of the cat after several months of illness. The virus is spread mainly in the cat’s saliva. It is a disease of cats that fight a lot, and of cats in large colonies, who share the same food and water bowls. It should not be a threat in a well-run boarding cattery, where the feeding and grooming utensils are properly cleaned, and the cats do not mix with each other.

A vaccine exists against the chlamydial organism, which can cause not only mild eye and nasal symptoms, but more importantly, infertility and abortion. This vacine is used mainly in breeding colonies to protect against infertility.

Drug Testing Flushing

March 29th, 2005




drug testing flushing

How Do Pharmaceutical Drugs Get in Drinking Water?

First of all, it’s a fact: many prescription drugs, plus over-the-counter drugs, have been found in public water supplies serving millions, virtually all over the United States and Europe.

The New York Times and the Associated Press have both reported on these findings in recent months, with widely printed, broadcast and webcast stories carrying headlines like, “Probe finds drugs in drinking water.”

Part of the problem is hospitals, pharmacies, clinics and doctor’s offices washing out-of-date or unwanted drugs down drains. Leaky septic tanks are another suggested source. Some 40 percent of antibiotics manufactured in America are fed to livestock as a growth stimulant, and manure from these animals is another likely source of drugs in drinking water. A small part may come from manufacturing plants, but these are the only potential sources that are carefully monitored.

Finally, you and I are a major cause of the problem.

Pharmaceutical drugs get in drinking water when people on medication go to the toilet: they excrete drugs not fully absorbed by the body, plus metabolized byproducts. Also, many people dispose of unwanted drugs by flushing them down the toilet.

Water companies treat the waste before discharging it into rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and then treat it again before it enters our drinking water supplies. But our water treatment plants were never designed to remove drugs from our drinking water; they are designed to get rid of disease germs, odors, and long-known hazards like lead and PCBs. Not surprisingly, these water treatments don’t remove all traces of drugs.

Amount of drugs is small, but is it safe?

The amount of pharmaceutical drugs in drinking water is nearly always very small, usually measured in parts per billion. But many different drugs have been found in public water supplies, in endless combinations. And we drink the water year after year. No one really knows whether it’s safe to do so.

“We recognize it is a growing concern and we’re taking it very seriously.”
said Benjamin H. Grumbles, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assistant administrator for water.

What are these drugs?

Here are a few:

Anti-epileptic drugs and tranquilizers found in Southern California; a sex hormone in San Francisco; antibiotics and other medications in Tucson, Arizona; pharmaceutical drugs for pain, infection, cholesterol control, asthma and heart conditions in Philadelphia; carbamazepine, a mood stabilizer, and a metabolized byproduct of angina medication in Northern New Jersey.

It’s not just public water systems that suffer from drugs in drinking water. Pharmaceutical drugs have been found in private wells, too. Bottled water is also affected. Bottlers do not test or treat for pharmaceuticals, and 40 percent of bottled water is just repackage tap water.

The good news: You can take practical, cost-effective action

Here are some reasonable things you can do:

1. Avoid bottled water. At a cost ranging from just under a dollar up to $10 a gallon, it’s the world’s most expensive answer to pharmaceutical drugs found in drinking water. More than 80 percent of the bottles end up in landfills; chemicals leach from the plastic bottle into the water and may affect our health; and the petroleum used would fuel about 100,000 cars each year. Even then, it’s not a solution: nearly half is just bottled tap water, as noted above.

2. Don’t flush unneeded drugs down the toilet. If possible, treat them as you would unused paint or household chemicals and turn them into a local center to be disposed of, often by incineration. At worst, wrap them up and put them in the garbage.

3. Don’t use deodorants or other personal care items containing the antibiotic triclosan.

4. Consider organic meats, raised without a diet of antibiotics.

5. Consider a quality home water filter, then bottle your own water if you wish. Use a glass container or one of a few water bottles on the market that aren’t plastic.

Ultra Cleanse Plus - Toxin Flush Diet

We all want to keep our body fit, clean, and healthy. These days, most diet plans only help us keep our body fit and healthy, but what about total body cleansing? If you want to lose unwanted weight fast and effectively flush out toxins from your body at the same time, what you need is a toxin flush diet. This method of body detoxification is one of the easiest, and will not force you to starve yourself.

Click Here For Ultra Cleanse Plus Limited Free Trial!

A toxin flush diet is far different than most fad diets that will require you to starve for days. This kind of diet will allow you to eat as much as you like. Going on a diet does not mean you will need to be hungry most of the time. This kind of diet plan will keep you from getting hungry and will make you feel great in the long run.

While our body has a natural detoxification system that enables us to get rid of toxins, wastes, and other unnecessary substances, it can be easily affected by the food we eat. Eating the wrong kinds of food will keep us from having proper and regular excretion of waste that we can end up being susceptible to many kinds of diseases. Eating the right kinds of food will help us eliminate wastes from our system, keeping us fit and healthy at the same time.

One of the best ways to naturally detoxify ourselves is through drinking ample amounts of water. Water hastens metabolism that helps release stored toxins from our body. We can also effectively detoxify our body by drinking lots of natural juices and eating lots of citrus fruits.

Eating other raw fruits and including vegetables in our daily diet also facilitates proper and regular excretion. Observing a toxin flush diet will ensure that you are able to detoxify your body effectively so you can be fit and healthy.

Cold Flu Appetite

March 29th, 2005




cold flu appetite


Do you have any recipes for hot or cold drinks that might appeal to someone who’s recovering from the flu?


I’ve had the flu for the past week and have had nothing but soups, juice, decaf coffee and tea, hot apple cider and tons of water. I still don’t have much of an appetite and now that I’ve also developed laryngitis, I continue to need lots of fluids. I’m running out of ideas and would love recipes for anything, hot or cold, that you think might appeal to me. Has to be caffeine-free, please, with little or no milk.

Thanks, in advance, for your suggestions!

I put a slice of orange, like you would a lemon, in a pitcher of water. Let is set for a little while in the fridge and enjoy. Hope you feel better soon.

You might try a different flavor of tea. They make a decaffeinated version of Constant Comment that I like.
http://www.bigelowtea.com/shop/details.cfm?si=1&pi=00105

I used to get a can of the frozen limeade concentrate. You’ll have to read the directions, but I substituted the number of cans of water required with ice and some water. I put it all in the blender and made a frozen beverage. You can also use OJ or lemonade concentrates.

You can use frozen fruits to make virgin daiquiris.*
I haven’t ever tried it but a grapefruit spritzer sounds tempting.**

Knee Pain Fluid Retention

March 28th, 2005




knee pain fluid retention

Pain And Stiffness Getting Up

You’re told that you have arthritis.  Is it the knee, hip, back or neck?  Well, you’re not alone.  Osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease can be common if you don’t take care and maintain your muscles, bones and joints.

 Osteoarthritis commonly affected weight bearing bones and joints such as the hips, knees and spine.  The synovial fluid inside the hip, knee and spinal articulations lubricates and nourishes the joints, cartilages and intervertebral discs.  Joint and cartilage nutrients are absorbed by osmosis.  By-products are also excreted by osmosis.

 Osmosis is the movement of things through a pressure gradient.   Joint movement and mobility create a pressure gradient inside the joint that pumps and circulates synovial fluid just like the heart pumps and circulates blood and its contents. 

 If the articulation is restricted and the range of motion is reduced then synovial fluid cannot circulate and nourish the joints, cartilages and intervertebral discs.  Restricted joints wear out their bones, cartilages and intervertebral discs quicker than those that are allowed to bend and turn without any hindrance. 

 Watch how people walk at the mall or on the street.  You’ll notice that some waddle like a penguin as they walk.  Those people have restricted mobility in their hips, pelvic and may be even the knees.  Imagine how much extra wear and tear is put on the joints with each step.

 Other factors that influence the development of osteoarthritis include lifestyle, nutrition and fitness level.  The amount of wear and tear of osteoarthritis is not age-related.

 Have you ever wondered why your arthritic knee, hip, back or neck is stiffer in the morning or after sitting down for a while?  You may even feel some aches and pain.  As you get up, it’s quite stiff and sore to take the first few steps.  But after moving around for a bit, the stiffness and soreness gradually decrease. 

 As you begin to move, you’re creating a pressure gradient in the joint.  And when the pressure is high enough, the synovial fluid begins to circulate and lubricate the joint easing the stiffness.  With restricted joints, the range of motion is reduced; it takes longer to reach the required pressure level for circulation, lubrication and osmosis. 

 A common way to increase joint mobility is to increase flexibility.  It’s sad, but true.  As you get older you lose flexibility and strength in muscles, tendons and ligaments.  Daily routine of stretching is a good way to maintain joint flexibility and preventing further osteoarthritis.

 Another popular way is to take nutritional supplements, especially glucosamine sulphate.  Healthy and unrestricted joints make their own glucosamine sulphate.  As you get older, the amount of glucosamine sulphate produces decreases.  Glucosamine sulphate prevents premature degeneration of cartilages.  It also helps retention of synovial fluid to hydrate the joints.  Without glucosamine sulphate synovial fluid level becomes inadequate.  Restricted joints do not make and absorb enough glucosamine sulphate which causes the intervertebral discs, cartilages and joints to degenerate quicker.

 Guess what?  Glucosamine sulphate circulates within the joint and absorbs to the cartilages and intervertebral discs by osmosis.

 Consider taking glucosamine sulphate instead of glucosamine chondroitin.  The body cannot effectively absorb glucosamine chondroitin; its molecular structure is too big to be absorbed.  Furthermore, take glucosamine sulphate with MSM.  Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM) improves the absorption of glucosamine sulphate.  You may not notice any quick improvement with glucosamine sulphate since it takes about 3-4 weeks to show any results.

 And finally, chiropractic treatments are an excellent way to prevent osteoarthritis and maintain any farther degradation of osteoarthritis.  Chiropractic treatments improve joint mobility and increase the range of motion which is critical in creating osmosis and pressure gradient.  Chiropractic treatments also restore restricted joints to their normal state of function and movement.

Best Water Filter Fluoride

March 28th, 2005




best water filter fluoride


what is an easy way to remove the fluoride from the water?


I have tried the Nalgonda technique, but don’t really like the taste, my britta filter makes it taste better, so I guess this may be the best solution.
I know that distillation will work, but it is really energy intensive.

some one told me that if you leave a pitcher filled with water for a few days, the fluoride will just go away, but I can’t seem to find out if that would work.

and I am really not looking if I should be taking out the fluoride out of the water, I am just looking for info about how.

alternatively, anyone know how to test for fluoride so I can just try various ways and see if they worked ?

Looks like you are on the right path. Reverse osmosis, filtration and distillation are the most common ways of removing fluoride. One filtration system uses alumina and is basically the same as the technique you mentioned. You are brave drinking water from treatment you have done yourself…be careful.

http://www.pwgazette.com/fluorideindex.htm

Leaving a pitcher out will not do the trick. It works for chlorine.

Equipment used for testing of fluoride can be pricey…..

The best way to test for fluoride is to have a lab test for it:

The lab in the link offers the test for $21. Pretty typical for a lab.

If you are looking to remove fluoride for health reasons, know that the fluoride level has to be substantial and your water provider is legally required to inform you if fluoride is high in your drinking water.

Fluoride is added to the water where I work. Fluoridated products and naturally occuring fluoride are most likely the source of the issues seen all over the net……toothpaste, mouthwash,etc.

Drink bottled water if all of the anti-fluoride websites are worrisome. Bottled water can have its issues also…but that’s another story.

Hope this helps.
