Welding Torch

part of a welding apparatus. In electric welding, the torch conducts electric current to the electrode and carries the shielding gas to the arc zone of the welding arc. In gas welding, the torch serves to adjust the mixture of gases and to guide the welding flame. The torch may be moved along the edges being welded by hand (in manual or semiautomatic welding) or automatically (in automatic welding).
Welding torches used in electric welding with consumable electrodes have a head equipped with an interchangeable tip through which the electrode wire extends. The head conducts the current and guides the electrode. A stream of gas is fed through a guide nozzle; the gas shields the weld puddle and the electrode from the atmosphere. Torches used with nonconsumable electrodes have a head equipped with a current-carrying collet clamp.
Welding torches used in gas welding feed the fuel gases, such as acetylene and oxygen, to the weld site. The gases pass through two channels and regulating valves and then enter a mixing chamber, where a combustible mixture is prepared; the mixture then enters the head. Low-pressure torches are equipped with a built-in injector that provides suction of the fuel gases. In high-pressure torches, the fuel gas is fed under pressure from gas generators or from cylinders.

To address the broadest possible range of food products and take into account their high variability, foods will be classified in four generic structure groups:
- filled cellular solid,
- proteinous cellular network,
- combined gelled/dispersed/aerated systems, and
- open solid foam representing the above main selected food categories.
Within these groups, the most relevant types of food products will be chosen using criteria encompassing structural characteristics, industrial needs, and societal demands. In this way, risks/benefits (food safety, nutritional aspects), economic weight and sustainability will be taken into consideration.

- Very Basic Database Application in Delphi
- Most Basic Editing Database in Delphi
- Manipulating Database Record with Codes
- Master Detail Datasets
Beside plain simple data, such as strings and numbers, in most (if not all) modern database we usually can also store digital values of nearly unlimited size. We can use this for example to store images, text files, executables, and binary libraries. This kind of values usually called BLOB, short for binary large object. Fields to store these values also refered as blob fields.
See this wikipedia page for more information about BLOB.
The following database is known to support blob fields (note: the list covers only a very small fraction of database supporting blob fields).
- MS SQL Server
- MS Access
Handling BLOB value in Delphi datasets
There is no primitive data type in Delphi directly available to handle BLOB value. Therefore we have to settle with handling BLOB as stream. TBlobStream is a descendant of TStream that was defined to handle BLOB values as stream. See here for official information on TBlobStream.
Excerpt from Delphi documentation about TBlobStream:
DBTables.TBlobStream is a stream object that provides services which allow applications to read from or write to field objects that represent Binary large object (BLOB) fields.
Use DBTables.TBlobStream to access or modify the value of a BLOB field in a BDE-enabled dataset. TBlob stream works with persistent TBlobField objects (including descendants of TBlobField such as TGraphicField and TMemoField). BLOB fields use BLOB streams to read data from and write data to the dataset.
DBTables.TBlobStream allows objects that have no specialized knowledge of how data is stored in a BLOB field to read or write such data by employing the uniform stream mechanism.
To use a BLOB stream, create an instance of DBTables.TBlobStream, use the methods of the stream to read or write the data, and then free the BLOB stream. Do not use the same instance of DBTables.TBlobStream to access data from more than one record. Instead, create a new DBTables.TBlobStream object every time you need to read or write BLOB data on a new record.
The most important thing you should note is that you can not reuse an instance of TBlobStream. You must free it as soon as you are done with it, and create new one for another record.
Another important thing you should remember is that it is prefered to call a dataset's CreateBlobStream method instead of directly call TBlobStream's constructor. Because this approach will give the dataset a chance to prepare itself.
Writing BLOB field
Basic steps in writing to a BLOB field:
- If the dataset is no in editing mode, put the dataset into the mode by either calling Edit or Insert.
- Create a TBlobStream by calling respected dataset's CreateBlobStream method and specifying the field and bmWrite as access mode.
- Fill the returned TBlobStream with your binary value.
- Free the TBlobStream.
- Store the changes by posting the modification, either by calling Post or CheckBrowseMode.
Reading BLOB field
Basic steps in writing to a BLOB field:
- Create a TBlobStream by calling respected dataset's CreateBlobStream method and specifying the field and bmRead as access mode.
- Read the content of the returned TBlobStream
- Free the TBlobStream.
- Use the read content according to task in hand
In next sections I show you the implementations of the above steps in order to store and read images to and from some database.
Handling Images in MS Access
For our demo project with MS Access, create a new Delphi application project. Drop these components to the main forms and rename them respectively:
- TADOConnection, cnnMain
- TADOTable, tblMovies
- TDataSource, dsMovies
- TOpenPictureDialog, OpenPictureDialog1
- TADOCommand, qCmd
- TDBGrid, DBGrid1
- TImage, Image1
- TBitBtn, btnOpenUrl
- TBitBtn, btnAddPict
- TBitBtn, btnAddPictSQL
Arrange the controls/components into a layout something like this:
Wire tblMovies's and qCmd's Connection properties to cnnMain. Set dsMovies' Dataset to tblMovies. Wire DBGrid1's DataSource to dsMovies. Build the connection string of cnnMain by double clicking it. Make sure the connection string pointing to the sample ms access datase attached here (download and save it somewhere in your computer).
Set Movies to tblMovies' TableName property. Build the persistent fields for tblMovies by double clicking it and then Add all fields in the dialog that pops up.
Give the following SQL command to qCmd's CommandText.
UPDATE Movies SET Picture=:Picture WHERE [ID]=:IDCheck that qCmd has two parameters, Picture and ID, by opening its Parameters property in object inspector.
Writing Image With Table-kind of Dataset
What I mean with Table-kind datasets are datasets that containing records, e.g. TTable, TADOTable, TQuery with SELECT query, and TADODataset with SELECT query. For these kind of datasets, we can store BLOBs directly to the corresponding fields. This is where TBlobStream plays important role.
In our demo project we will use a TADOTable which we named tblMovies.
Put the following codes for btnAddPict's event handler:
procedure TForm1.btnAddPictClick(Sender: TObject); var vBlobStream: TStream; vFileStream: TStream; vEditing: Boolean; begin // do we have record to store the picture to? Don't continue if not if tblMovies.IsEmpty then Exit; // do the user select a picture file? Dont continue if not if not OpenPictureDialog1.Execute then Exit; // are we in editing mode? Enter into one if not vEditing := tblMovies.State in [dsEdit, dsInsert]; if not vEditing then tblMovies.Edit; // enter editing mode if not in one try // create writable TBlobStream for field 'Picture' of tblMovies [b]vBlobStream := tblMovies.CreateBlobStream(tblMoviesPicture, bmWrite);[/b] try // create stream of the selected picture file vFileStream := TFileStream.Create(OpenPictureDialog1.FileName, fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyNone); try // copy the content of picture stream to the TBlobStream [b]vBlobStream.CopyFrom(vFileStream, 0);[/b] finally vFileStream.Free; end; finally // freeing writable TBlobStream also writes its content to the underlying field vBlobStream.Free; end; finally // post the changes if we are the one putting into editing mode if not vEditing then tblMovies.CheckBrowseMode; end; end;
I think the code and the comments pretty much explained everything about the process.
Writing Image with SQL command
In this case we want to store images using SQL command INSERT or UPDATE. It will be different with the method we used with table-kind of datasets, since obviously here we don't have a TField to help us out. No TBlobStream for us here. However we have TParameter objects to work with.
Basically TParameter is a way to communicate with our sql command. We pass values using TParameter, and we also read values using TParameter. Declaration of TParameter is done directly inside the sql command itself. Just add a colon (:) in front of the parameter's name, and later Delphi will create instance(s) of corresponding TParameter(s) for you.
For our example here, we have given this sql: UPDATE Movies SET Picture=:Picture WHERE [ID]=:ID. The bold parts are the ones
that define our two TParameter-s, i.e. Picture and ID. Of course initially these TParameter-s have no value. So before we execute the sql, we need to give values to them. TParameter is capable to hold BLOB value, like I show you in the OnClick event handler of btnAddPictSQL below:
procedure TForm1.btnAddPictSQLClick(Sender: TObject); var vFileStream: TStream; begin // do we have record to store the picture to? Don't continue if not if tblMovies.IsEmpty then Exit; // do the user select a picture file? Dont continue if not if not OpenPictureDialog1.Execute then Exit; // load the picture file into a stream vFileStream := TFileStream.Create(OpenPictureDialog1.FileName, fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyNone); try // give ID of the current movie record to the :ID parameter of qCmd qCmd.Parameters.ParamByName('ID').Value := tblMoviesID.Value; // Assign the content of FS stream to the :Picture parameter [b]qCmd.Parameters.ParamByName('Picture').LoadFromStream(vFileStream, ftBlob);[/b] // execute the sql qCmd.Execute; // refresh the table so it shows the new picture RefreshTable; finally vFileStream.Free; end; end;
Reading Image from Dataset
Here is the code in our demo project to read image from the dataset (in this case tblMovies).
procedure TForm1.LoadPicture; var BS: TStream; vGraphic: TGraphic; begin // clear the currently displayed picture Image1.Picture.Graphic := nil; // do we have something to display? if tblMovies.IsEmpty then Exit; // Get a TBlobStream instance from the content of field Picture of tblMovies, with read-only access BS := tblMovies.CreateBlobStream(tblMovies.FieldByName('Picture'), bmRead); try // create the object to parse the image information into jpg picture vGraphic := TJPEGImage.Create; try // give the content of our TB

The mayor of Kenosha was recently quoted in the local newspaper:
"The Vietnam War has left lasting impressions on the history of this country and it is vital for the generations that represent our future to learn the lessons of the Vietnam War. We cannot allow this war, indeed all wars, to be a forgotten page in a forgotten history book. We need to learn from our past in order to secure our future."
He then announced a plan to hire a local artist to paint a large mural on the side of the Northside public library. He would like it to commemorate the Vietnam War.
But the plan for a mural is causing a lot of controversy. Some citizens are very excited about the plan. Some don't want it to be about Vietnam at all. Everyone has different opinions about what the mural should look like.
 In a few days the mayor is going to have a town meeting to make a final decision about the mural. The mayor has three questions that need to be answered:
1. Should a Vietnam memorial mural be painted?
2. If yes, what should it look like?
3. If no, what should the mural depict?
The Task
You are to be the citizens involved in the process. Each group of four will represent the different viewpoints of the citizens. Each person within a group will take a position on the mural and research his/her "role" in order to defend his/her belief.
Your task is to read your position on the mural and conduct Internet research to learn more about your position in order to better defend it. You will also have a set of questions to guide you as you conduct your research.
After doing your research, you will meet with others who have your same role and create a Power Point presentation for the mayor. This presentation should highlight some of the reasons why you support or do not support the mural.
After the presentations, the mayor will discuss and debate the issue with you - the citizens of Kenosha.
 Finally, the town will create murals to be prominently displayed in the area.
The Process
 1. Divide up the four roles among your group members.
 2. Each member goes to his/her page listed below. There, each person will find:
 - their position on the proposed mural
 - background information on why the person holds that position
 - a set of questions to help you guide your research
 - links to the Internet to help you research your role
 4. Read your position on the mural.
 5. Conduct your Internet research.
 6. Answer your questions.
 7. Meet with others who have your role and create the presentation to the mayor.
 8. Debate and defend your position at the town meeting.
 9. Assume the role of artist and create your proposed mural.
The Roles
Vietnamese Immigrant
Vietnam Veteran
War Protester
Try to put yourself into the role. Attempt to understand why this person has these beliefs. Carefully read your viewpoint on the mural and the questions for your role. As you conduct your Internet research, look for ways to defend your viewpoint. Be prepared to effectively defend your beliefs with facts and convincing arguments.
You will be evaluated on the basis of five separate assignments:
 1. Internet research: how well you use your time and answer all your questions
 2. Group development and presentation of the Power Point
 3. Participation in the town debate (You will also be expected to debate and not argue. Rules of courtesy should be followed)
 4. Design, coloring, and appropriateness of your mural
What is the fate of the mural? Will it be painted? What will it depict?
Can the differing viewpoints come to an agreement?

0-056 The beds of rose-of-sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) surrounding the Korean War Memorial were provided by the people of South Korea. This and the Asian red pine are their national tree symbols. The flower appears in Korean national emblems, and Korea is compared to the flower in the South Korean national anthem. Also known as the Korean rose, the plants were sent from Pusan, South Korea and planted around the memorial in 1996. These small trees, most commonly seen in our area as large shrubs, bloom in the summer and add rich light purple color to the foreground of the monument as seen from any viewpoint along the walkway. They were given to commemorate the US-Korean alliance and honor the lives of the American soldiers who defended it.

Love, Money, and Parenting investigates how economic forces shape how parents raise their children. In countries with increasing economic inequality, parents push harder to ensure their children have a path to security and success. In the United States, this force has transformed the hands-off parenting of the 60s and 70s into a frantic, overscheduled activity. Growing inequality has also resulted in an increasing "parenting gap" between richer and poorer families, raising the disturbing prospect of diminished social mobility. Drawing from the experiences of countries of high and low economic inequality, Matthias Doepke and Fabrizio Zilibotti discuss how changes to public policy can contribute to the ideal of equal opportunity for all.

Should you've been in stone rising company or recently begun yourself, you'll want noticed climbers with chalk whilst increasing. When it's at a gymnasium or some crag (natural scaling shores), climbers ordinarily have a twist or pouch dangling off their own waist. You'll usually see they dip his hands or catch a pinch and then rub hands together.
Intent Behind Growing Chalk
Why rock climbers use chalk? It isn't for style and aesthetics if that is what you are wondering. There exists a really practical reason it's used. The body creates produces moisture which looks on the skin, particularly the palms. Sweet oil, and also different kinds of fluids may naturally shape and stick to the epidermis.
For any type of job, having perspiration in both own hands can be quite a hindrance. While increasing, having moisture onto your own hands and palms can be especially dangerous and insecure. Sweat and moisture may leave the fingers slippery. When scaling, this usually means that you run the danger of losing your traction and also injuring yourself whether you should be in a heightened posture.
The chalk can be used to consume the droplets and moisture which appear in your own hands. This keeps it's dry. The chalk additionally provides you the grip and traction you want to hold from both hands if needed.
What's scaling chalk manufactured from?
Climbing chalk can be a natural compound salt which is a solid chemical. The emblem signifies there is really just alone magnesium atom, one carbon atom, as well as also three oxygen molecules at the most molecule of MgCO3. As a compound, it's pretty safe as it will not contain any hazardous elements.
Magnesium Carbonate isn't used just in scaling. It's employed as a part of various items like fire proofing fabric, flooring, makeup and toothpaste, and dusting powder, etc.. When useful for traction and grip in sports, then it's called scaling chalk or health chalk.
Sorts of Growing Chalk
Growing chalk could arrive in several varieties based upon its planned usage. In the majority of forms, it remains powerful thus simple to manage in your own palms and hands. Magnesium carbonate is normally accessible to several common types.
Magnesium Carbonate in freeform or as powdered chalk is perhaps probably one of the very typical sights in sports. When you've ever observed the Olympic Games, you've seen it despite the fact that you did not know very well what it had been in those days. Now you need to have observed a gymnast step upward to and including basin and employ a white powder liberally on his hands prior to doing. That really is powdered chalk.
One of those troubles with powdered chalk is it can become quite cluttered. Whenever a climber or athlete scooped excess powder off out of his own palms, it increases the present cloud of dust from the area. It's more bothersome when people athletes or nearby breathe within this particular specific powder. Additionally, powdered chalk is quite nice. This implies that it may very quickly make its way outside of bags and spill-over your laundry or alternative gear.
Chalk balls have been essentially loose powder wrapped into a cloth ball that is handy. The fabric tote is constructed from fabric which lets the powder float through in tiny portions. To make utilize of it, then you merely need to hit your ball and catch it. The porous nature of the fabric blows off the wax to both hands. The fabric chunk is a favorite pick for climbers as it's really a handy option whilst increasing. You may certainly carry it into a scatter bag or pouch and also own it even on the steepest shore. Chalk balls are readily the perfect selection for indoor climbing and health spas.
1 drawback of chalk balls would be you can't entirely dip both hands into the chalk. Covering the hands with chalk can be required in outdoor growing scenarios. In such scenarios, chalk balls are not as effective as loose chalk. Some paths are understood to carry chalk balls in addition to loose chalk at a pouch. This permits them to really truly own the very best of these options.
Climbing chalk additionally comes from the shape of rectangular or squarish blocks. The goods are typically magnesium carbonate in a virtually pure type. This implies they don't include any extra ingredients to improve their shape or shape. These cubes can be purchased from stores that sell it packs of eight or six. But, you are going to realize that many shops will willingly market them in individual bits too, for individual usage.
The principal benefit of the sort of climbing Challenge is the fact it provides you with more reachable storage and also potentially more shelflife. You are able to break some of the cubes and utilize it loose powder when keeping the remaining portion of the cube for later usage. In this manner, that you never disintegrate the whole cube to cluttered powder and you also have components made for after usage.
Liquid chalk could very well be the most suitable option among the rest of the kinds of chalk. As its name implies this chalk is sold in liquid form and can be dispersed through tubes or tiny bottles. Since you administer it upon your own palms, the alcohol-based from the chalk lets it wash out and keeps the chalk at your palms. Once the process dries, then the chalk continues much more than other kinds of chalk. Pros recommend using liquid chalk directly prior to beginning a rise such that it melts as much while you begin your scaling session.
Liquid chalk isn't quite as cluttered as loose cut, and that is the reason it is the preferred mode for indoor fitness centers and climbing gyms. Liquid chalk leaves less residue on scaling structures and stones, ergo they have been simpler to keep up. On the flip side, liquid chalk might be relatively higher priced in contrast to other conventional forms.
These various forms of scaling chalk each have their own benefits and drawbacks. The crucial issue to understand and remember is you ought to utilize them based on your own situation along with familiarity. Upon getting hold of just the way each type works, you will be in a position to decide on the ideal scaling chalk for your own circumstance.
Climbers use chalk because to put it simply it can help them stay glued into the wall socket. There are a lot of unique types of chalk, and picking the best one necessitates thinking about your personal circumstance. What can you wish to carry, what type of environment are you really climbing in, and also which will be the principles of this area are typical questions you have to think about.

text: Drawing on the middle chapters from the first edition of J. Barkley Rosser's seminal work, From Catastrophe to Chaos, this book presents an unusual perspective on economics and economic analysis. Current economic theory largely depends upon assuming that the world is fundamentally continuous. However, an increasing amount of economic research has been done using approaches that allow for discontinuities such as catastrophe theory, chaos theory, synergetics, and fractal geometry. The spread of such approaches across a variety of disciplines of thought has constituted a virtual intellectual revolution in recent years. This book reviews the applications of these approaches in various subdisciplines of economics and draws upon past economic thinkers to develop an integrated view of economics as a whole from the perspective of inherent discontinuity.

A portion of a historic sewerage canal in Melbourne's west has been transformed into a park at Williams Landing.
The project is the result of a collaboration between GHD Woodhead and GHD's Water and Structural groups.
The park has been built over a 100-metre section of the heritage-listed Main Outfall Sewer. Constructed in 1892-94, the sewer runs for 27 kilometres between an old pumping station in Spotswood (now part of the Scienceworks Museum) and the Western Treatment Plant in Werribee.
It was decommissioned in 1993 added to the Victorian Heritage Register in 2001. "The Main Outfall Sewer is of scientific (engineering) importance as a major link in the most extensive engineering project undertaken in Victoria to that date," the statement of significance reads. "The concrete and brick open and covered sewer is a fine example of the technology of the period, exhibiting a high level of integrity. The three major red brick aqueducts over Kororoit Creek, Skeleton Creek and the Werribee River are excellent examples of multi-spanned, arched masonry bridges."
In 2005, ownership of the sewer transferred from Melbourne Water to VicRoads and the Federation Bicycle Trail was built along its length.
The new park includes garden structures such as cantilevered pergolas, rock-clad structural retaining walls, corten steel balustrades, a rain garden in the centre that filters pollutants and water storage tanks underneath the park.
The project is part of the Greening the Pipeline initiative, which aims to transform the entire length of the 40-metre-wide Main Outfall Sewer reserve into a linear park.
"This parkland has been a fantastic first, exemplar project for Greening the Pipeline to work on," said GHD project manager David Howard. "I look forward to hearing the stories about the connection and improvement the project brings to the previously divided communities. On the opening day, we could already see the community coming together in play."
Funding is being sought for the next stage of the project which consists of a masterplan for a five-kilometre section in Wyndham between Laurie Emmins Reserve and Skeleton Creek.
The first Greening the Pipeline park at Williams Landing was part-funded by the Victorian Government, and led by Melbourne Water with support from Wyndham City Council, City West Water and VicRoads.

The premise in the original post was that the same logic that applies
to table/_USER_ also applies to label/_USER_, so therefore, if there's
a consensus about label/_USER_, why doesn't that obviously apply to
table/_USER_? I can offer a couple reasons for this.
label/_USER_ has use cases that aren't covered by the alternate syntax -
putting inside . For example, there are obvious use
cases where the label is in one table cell, but the field is in
another, or the label is inside a and the field is inside a .
 In those cases, the only logical markup is to use _USER_.
But using _USER_ becomes cumbersome: 99 form fields leads to 99 unique
_USER_ attributes and 99 _USER_ attributes. It's cumbersome, but it's the
only option. Someone might propose an alternative that would simplify
this if they wanted, where _USER_ contained an XPath:
for="../following-sibling::dt/input" - that would prevent the need for
99 unique IDs on the page by instead using 99 identical _USER_
attributes. I'm not specifically proposing this, but that's an
example how syntax can be markup can be simplified for authors in a
way that keeps semantics.
On the other hand, I haven't yet seen a real-world use case where
_USER_ is needed in favor of _USER_ or simple implicit markup, and
the markup is more difficult for authors: each header needs a unique
ID and each cell needs to reference one or two of those IDs. If
there's a real-world use case where _USER_ just can't cut it, then it
shouldn't be an issue.

Can you give an example of those where the semantics of _USER_ don't suffice?

A drunk text is commonly mistaken by adults as a text sent while drunk, while it truly means to send a thoughtful, loving text to a dear friend.
It became known as a "drunk text" due to the sincerity one may have while under the influence of alcohol.

With the release of CyaSSL 1.8.0, users are now able to create CA signed x509 v3 certificates. Certificate generation is turned off by default, but may be turned on during the ./configure process with the following option or by defining CYASSL_CERT_GEN in Windows or non-standard environments:
Currently CyaSSL only supports the MD5_WITH_RSA signature algorithm type (which is by far the most common) and the creation of self signed certificates. The next release will allow other signers and other signature types. To create a self-signed certificate the general steps taken by the user include:
1. Create the Cert structure
2. Initialize the Cert structure
3. Complete the information in the CertName structure
4. Generate the self-signed certificate using any valid RsaKey and RNG.
The result of the above steps will be a DER formatted certificate which may also be converted into a PEM formatted certificate if desired. For more information on how CyaSSL generates RSA keys, please see the CyaSSL Extensions Reference, Section X. For complete details of the above steps to create a self-signed certificate and how you can create a CA signed certificate, see the CyaSSL Extensions Reference, Section XI.

An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c2]3L/(q+1)(L+1), B(t)=[c1t+c2]3/2(q+1)(L+1),C(t)=[c1 t+ c2]3/2(q+1)(L+1),where c1,c2 and L are constants .

Date of wing molt initiation, based on the regression of tenth primary length on capture date, was calculated for breeding and nonbreeding Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus columbianus) on the Colville River Delta, Alaska. Breeding females initiated wing molt significantly later than breeding males and nonbreeding males and females; the molt of breeding females was correlated with the date on which their eggs hatched. Breeding males did not differ significantly from nonbreeding males and females in the date of molt initiation. Timing of molt in breeding males and females was consistent with the views that females delay molt while replenishing energy spent on reproduction, but was also consistent with the breeding pair's need for primaries to defend territories and to defend and brood young. Other results, including an increase in an index of female body condition throughout most of the molt period, and a positive correlation between clutch size and female hatch-to-molt interval, were not predicted by the hypothesis that past energy expenditures constrain the timing of molt. Patterns of wing molt within and among other Northern Hemisphere geese and swans are also difficult to explain on the basis of energetics alone. For example, breeding females initiate molt before breeding males in many species. Also, there is extreme asynchrony between mates in two swan species; one of those species also exhibits variation in which sex initiates wing molt first. Both patterns suggest that asynchrony, per se, is important, probably to facilitate brood protection or territory defense. In Tundra Swans and other northern breeding geese and swans, the non-energetic demands of territory defense, brood defense, and brooding are probably important constraints on the timing of wing molt.

Upper respiratory infections are rare in healthy ferrets that are kept in a good environment and have limited to no contact with sickly animals. Ferrets that are most susceptible to infections include kits, older ferrets, ferrets with weakened or suppressed immune systems, and ferrets living in unhealthy conditions (dirty cage, too warm or too cold, etc.).
The signs of an upper respiratory infection include:
Nasal discharge - clear, yellow, or green
The color of the nasal discharge will probably give your veterinarian an idea of how severe the infection is, and whether or not it can be treated with antibiotics.
The decreased appetite is due to the congestion. Ferrets with upper respiratory infections cannot smell their food, and it's hard for them to swallow with blocked nostrils, so they eat less.
A respiratory infection can occur when a ferret is exposed to another person or animal with an infection. It can also develop when an animal lives in a dirty environment that is full of bacteria. Additionally, a respiratory infection can be a secondary infection to another disease such as canine distemper.
Most minor upper respiratory infections should clear up in a couple days, just as they would in humans, especially if the ferret is in otherwise good health. If you see signs of a respiratory infection that last longer than two days, schedule a veterinary appointment. Your ferret may need antibiotics or other medications.
There are a few things you can do to help your ferret be more comfortable while he is recovering from his respiratory infection.
Add water to his kibble, warm it in the microwave, and serve it as a warm mush to stimulate his appetite and make it easier for him to swallow.
Wipe excess discharge from around his nose with a tissue.
If the air in your house is dry, put a humidifier near your ferret's cage.
If he has lots of nasal discharge, put him in a small room with a vaporizer to loosen the mucous and help him to breathe easier.

More on the problem of short pains
Consider these two very plausible theses:
 1. Whether I have pain at time t does not depend on any future facts.
 2. There is a length of time δt such that you cannot have a pain lasting no more than δt, but you can have a pain lasting 4δt.
Now imagine that I feel a pain that lasts from t0 to t2 = t0 + 4δt. Let t1 = t0 + (1/2)δt. Suppose it is now t1. Then I am in pain. But now I claim that this counterfactual is true:
 1. Were it to be the case that I was to be annihilated at t0 + (3/4)δt, I wouldn't have felt any pain now.
Why? For if I were so annihilated, my pain could only have lasted (3/4)δt, which is too short for a pain by (2).
But by (3), whether I feel pain now depends on whether I will shortly be annihilated, contrary to (1).
Hence, we need to reject one of (1) and (2).
It is hard to reject (2). After all, imagine the sequence of times: a second, a quarter second, a sixteenth of a second, …, 2−40 seconds. Clearly I can feel a pain that lasts a second. The last of these is less than a picosecond, and clearly I can't feel a pain that short. So somewhere in that sequence I must reach a δt which is too short for a pain, but where 4δt isn't too short for a pain.
I think denying (1) isn't as bad as it may seem.
But perhaps a less counterintuitive move is to deny that phenomenal times and physical times are as closely correlated as they intuitively seem. Here is a possible story. Phenomenal times are discrete points while physical times are continuous (or discrete on a much finer timescale). You can feel a pain that is located at exactly one phenomenal time. The spacing between the phenomenal times corresponds to a fairly large (and non-uniform) spacing between physical times, say of the order of magnitude of a millisecond. So, you can feel a pain that is there one millisecond and gone the next, but you may feel it at exactly one point of phenomenal time.
As far as I can tell, it is not possible to run the annihilation argument while keeping careful track of the continuous physical and discrete phenomenal timelines. I guess this is a way of rejecting (2) by making it not make sense.
Here is a third way out of the argument. Imagine that what it is to have a pain at t is to have had some constitutive physical or spiritual process P have lasted some threshold period of time δt. On this view, before P lasted over a period of δt, there was no pain: pain only starts once P has lasted δt. We might now suppose that δt is something like a millisecond. Then it is possible to have a pain that lasts only a picosecond: for that, all we need is the underlying process P to have lasted δt plus a picosecond—and only the last picosecond of that process would have constituted a pain. But we no longer need to make the implausible claim that we can be aware of picosecond-scale stuff. For in paining, our awareness is the awareness of the underlying process P, and that process always needs to have taken something in the millisecond range for it to constitute a paining.
This way out of the argument also has the consequence that it is not possible to have a pain before completing the first δt of one's existence. Pain is not a momentary property.
The third way out will not appeal to dualists who think phenomenal states are fundamental.
William said...
If a phenomenal experience need to have a certain duration to exist at all (a granularity in time), then, once the experience exists, it exists during every picosecond that it exists. But if its total duartion was only a picosecond it could not exist at all.
An ocean is never a single milliliter of water by itself, but once we have an ocean every milliliter is also ocean.
IanS said...
I'm not understanding (2). Isn't pain by definition felt? If you don't feel it, it's not pain. A stimulus, or state of the body, that usually causes pain may fail to do so if its duration is too short. But then there would be no pain, not a pain too short to be felt. (Note that this differs from your third option. The stimulus or body state can cause a pain if it goes on long enough, but it does not constitute the pain.)
Alexander R Pruss said...
Right. "Cannot feel a pain" just means "Cannot have a pain" in (2).
That's the intuitive thing to say, but then we have to say that once we've had half the minimum granularity of pain, then whether we've HAD any pain depends on whether the other half of the granularity materializes. And that violates (1).
There is no similar paradox in the ocean, because there is no difficulty with saying that whether *this* milliliter of water is ocean depends on the *other* milliliters. But it is paradoxical to say that whether *this* bit of brain/mental function is pain depends on what will come *later*.
Alexander R Pruss said...
Re-reading (2), I can see that it lent itself to confusion as per Ian's remark, so I changed "feel" to "have".
William said...
Assume that for some reason (maybe a consequence of certain laws of nature?) a certain duration in time (Delta) of an input of some kind is part of what is needed for a human (H) to have a certain cognitive event (E) that properly expresses their powers of cognition.
So, Delta is part of the "recipe" for event E in H.
So, let us say that a situation generally leading to event E begins. Let's say that a clock then starts running, and if all other parts of our "recipe" for cognitive event E are in place, after Delta time elapses, event E will have occurred and (may then continue for longer than Delta).
Note, we said that Delta is part of the recipe for E! If we stop the H from existing one picosecond into the clock running, Delta is never part of our recipe, so we never make a proper cake E. So, event E never even occurs, and there was never any event E to start and stop in one picosecond.
But, you say, we could wait until event E occurs, then travel back in time and stop H after a picosecond. But we are thereby creating the "killing your grandfather before he sires your father" kind of paradox.
Alexander R Pruss said...
Suppose E is a pain.
When does the hurting begin? Right when the clock starts running or only after the elapse of Delta?
If the hurting begins right when the clock stops running, then you get the paradoxical claim that whether it hurts for the first picosecond depends on whether the process gets stopped after the picosecond.
But if the hurting begins only after Delta elapses, then it didn't hurt during the first picosecond, and hence it's false that E starts when the clock starts running. For it is a necessary truth that if E, a pain, occurs at t, then it hurts at t.
William said...
The hurting begins during Delta-time. Once the initial _duration_ is part of the pain event, we can then find the start and end of the pain, but only then.
Before the duration occurs, the start and end of the non-yet-existing pain are undefined. We only can find out when the pain began after there is the experience of the pain.
Yes, this means that the present depends on the past in this particular case.

Visage Project for Physiognomy Data
About the Visage Project: Visage is a project to collect and
organize information about relatively permanent facial features. It
includes methods for storing, retrieving, and inspecting the data.
This information is collected from the writings of many authors and
scholars and is stored in a relational database. These sources
indicate connections between facial features and the person's inner or
hidden characteristics, such as personality or character, and even
more unlikely connections, such as to the person's destiny.
Physiognomy is a term that refers to the appearance of the face and
how it is interpreted. Visage is a database schema for representing
physiognomy and the interpretation of physiognomic signs.
A simple demonstration application shows
some of the ideas behind the Visage project. The demonstration finds
information about the meanings of facial features you select to
describe a face. This application retrieves information from the
database relevant to your description of physiognomy, including an estimation of the
accuracy of the sources of this information. You can decide for
yourself whether the meanings ascribed to the facial features make
sense or not.
You may find the information in Visage interesting and
entertaining, or useless and inaccurate. Visage makes only general
statements about the validity of the information, and provides the
interpretations people have claimed for facial features. It includes
information about the general level of soundness of the
The demonstration application shows the kinds of data that are
incorporated into the database. Physiognomy is related to a number of psychological and other
concepts that have not been structured into a database-compatible
format. Some of these concepts are listed
- Personality People have thought since ancient times that
the face reflects the personality of the individual. Personality
refers to enduring traits or characteristics of the person, not
merely to an ability to impress others. Both facial appearance and personality are products of biological inheritance and the
environment in which the person develops.
- Countenance Also, the database has information about the
countenance of the face. The face is viewed by others who find
meaning in it. The countenance of the face refers to visible
facial appearance and how other people interpret it. People
attribute meaning to faces intuitively, whether the interpretation is
correct or not. Visage tells you what interpretations other people
might make of the face you describe, and whether this interpretation
is likely to be correct.
- Contingencies The face could predict the person's fate or
destiny. Life is a continuous cycle of birth and death. People and
their faces are molded to fit this cycle.

The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of occurrence of specific speech disfluencies in 4-year-old Alaska Native children to those of 4-year-old Caucasian children. Specifically, eight disfluency types were investigated: part-word repetition, word repetition, phrase repetition, interjection, revision-incomplete phrase, disrhythmic phonation, tense pause, and intrusive schwa. The questions addressed in the study were:
1. Do 4-year-old Alaska Native children exhibit a higher frequency of disfluencies than 4-year-old Caucasian children?
2. Do 4-year-old Alaska Native children exhibit a greater frequency of specific disfluencies, in terms of part-word repetition, word repetition, phrase repetition, interjection, revision-incomplete phrase, disrhythmic phonation, tense pause, or intrusive schwa than 4-year-old Caucasian children?
3. Do 4-year-old Alaska Native and Caucasian children exhibit a higher frequency of low risk disfluency types (word repetition, phrase repetition, interjection, and revision-incomplete phrase) when compared to high risk disfluency types (part-word repetition, disrhythmic phonation, tense pause, and intrusive schwa)?

A novel species isolated from Queen Maud Land, Antarctica
Scanning electron micrograph of Marisediminicola senii
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, which is beautifully covered by snow and ice. It is coldest continent with extreme environmental conditions. Antarctica was once thought to be frozen and lifeless, and is now known for its biodiversity where microbial life is thriving. Its important to understand the microbial diversity on this continent as microorganisms play an important role in the functioning of Antarctic ecosystems. A type strain was isolated from glacier sediment sample collected from the Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, during the 38th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica in 2019. Research group of Dr. Avinash Sharma at NCMR-NCCS Pune studied the characteristics of the isolated strain.
Dr. Avinash Sharma collecting sample at Antarctica
Distinguishing characteristics based on the polyphasic analysis indicated the strain as a novel species of genus Marisediminicola for which the name Marisediminicola senii sp. nov., is proposed. The strain is named as Marisediminicola senii in the honor of late Mr. Subhajit Sen, a researcher from India who lost his life in an accident during the 37th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica in 2017. Mr. Sen's research in Antarctica was focused on fabric analysis of glacial deposits.
Marisediminicola senii sp. nov., with accession number MCC 4327 (Type strain) is now stored at NCMR along with other approximately two lakh microbes. The National Centre for Microbial Resource (NCMR) has an authorization to preserve and catalogue the diversity of microorganisms collected from various ecological niches in India and to make them available for research use.

A novel species isolated from a bacterial consortia of contaminated soil enriched for the remediation of e-waste
The genus Pseudomonas is widespread and has been reported to occur in diverse ecological niches. Members of the genus Pseudomonas are metabolically versatile and harbor various biotechnologically important properties. Pseudomonas sesami is reported to have plant growth-promoting activity. Strains of Pseudomonas produce thermotolerant proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes which result in food spoilage. Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas furukawaii, Pseudomonas knackmussii and many other pseudomonads have been reported for the remediation of xenobiotic compounds. In the present study, researchers at NCMR-NCCS Pune report the detailed characterization of a Pseudomonas strain, which was isolated from soil samples from Lalkuan, Nainital, Uttarakhand, India. The strain was found to be part of the bacterial consortia obtained for developing remediation of e-waste.
The strain was Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, aerobic, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. Colonies are L-form with entire margins, creamy color, umbonate elevation and non-mucoid. Cell can tolerate up to 3% salinity. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence the strain belongs to the genus Pseudomonas and showed highest sequence similarity to Pseudomonas furukawaii followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas resinovorans. The G+C content in the genome was 64.24mol%. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the strain forms a distinct clade in the family Pseudomonadaceae. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genetic analysis, including overall genome relatedness index values, indicated that the strain represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas, for which the name Pseudomonas lalkuanensis sp. nov. is proposed.
The cells of the strain were motile as observed by using the hanging drop method. The oxidase and catalase activities were investigated using an oxidase disc and observing bubble production. The phylogenetic analysis showed that strain formed a separate clade with P. resinovorans keeping P. furukawaii and P. aeruginosa in an outer clade with strong bootstrap support. This phylogenetic analysis reveals that the strain is phylogenetically distinct from P. furukawaii and P. resinovorans. The orthoANI and dDDH values of the strain were clearly below the thresholds for the proposal of novel prokaryotic species indicating that the strain belongs to a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas.
Novel nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolated from the root nodules of the Pea plant
Rhizobia is a large group of bacteria developing symbiotic relation with their host plants by forming root nodules and fixing atmospheric nitrogen. The bacteria belonging to this group are important from agriculture and environmental perspective. Three strains of rhizobia were collected from Indian Trans-Himalaya region, isolated from root nodules of Pea plant. The characterization was done using 16S rRNA, atpD and recA genes. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, isolated strains showed ≥99.9% sequence similarity to the members within the Rhizobium leguminosarum group. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of atpD, recA and 92 core genes indicated that two of the three strains were closely related to the group Rlaguerreae while one strain was closely related to the Rhidalgonense group. Two strains closely related to the group R. laguerreae have 60.8 mol% of DNA G+C content. Based on characterization studies, these two strains represent a novel species, Rhizobium indicum sp.nov. The study provided a detailed taxonomic species description of these novel species.
The nodC and nifH genes play an important role in nodulation and nitrogen fixation respectively. These genes were amplified for all three strains which confirmed their genetic potential for symbiosis. All three strains have nodC gene sequence similar to the strains of Rhizobium leguminasarum that belong to the symbiovar viciae and isolated from different countries.
Genome studies revealed that the complete genome, chromosome and plasmids of these strains are comparable in size to the other strains of Rhizobium leguminasarum. Researchers also examined the genome sequences of the two strains to identify the compliment of nod genes in these strains. Both strains contained a cluster of 12 nod genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both these strains are closely related to Rhizobium laguerreae followed by Rruizarguesonis and R. leguminosarum.
Morphological analysis revealed that the strains are rod-shaped, gram-negative and motile. Colonies were translucent, cream-white and convex. A total of 20 different cellular fatty acids in different quantities were detected in these three strains. Overall, the fatty acid compositions of the newly isolated strains were identical to the type strains of Rhizobium leguminosarumRhizobium laguerreae and Rhizobium ecuadorense, with differences in their proportions. The strain were positive for oxidase and catalase.
To conclude, both the novel strains are closely related to each other and can be differentiated from other species of the genus Rhizobium by their housekeeping gene sequences, ANI values, genome nucleotide analysis, and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features.

Description of a novel species isolated from the surface of tomato
-By Kranti Karande
A new bacterial strain designated as TOUT106T was isolated from the tomato surface. Though there were many bacterial species isolated from various fruits and vegetables like sweet potato, banana, tomato, lettuce and cucumber, TOUT106T was found to represent a novel species. This study was aimed at providing a detailed taxonomic description of this novel strain TOUT106T isolated from tomato surface. A novel strain is a micro organism which hasn't been identified earlier.
The strain was isolated by washing the outer surface of a tomato collected from a local vegetable market in Pune, India. Colonies grown on a trypticase soy agar turned out to be 1-3 mm in diameter, circular, raised with an entire margin, and translucent opacity. The identification was done using MALDI-TOF MS technique. After extracting high quality genomic DNA from the strain, the 16s rRNA sequence was amplified. The similarity search for the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain TOUT106T was performed against the type strains of prokaryotic species in the EzBioCloud's database.
Genome sequencing was performed and from the concatenated sequences of 92 core genes extracted, a possible phylogenetic tree was inferred. The Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) was determined between strain TOUT106T and closely related strains of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Analysis of chemotaxonomic features (based on fatty acids and cell proteins)was done after harvesting cell biomass from culture grown on TSA at 28°C. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined using the disc diffusion method. The susceptibility to antibiotics was interpreted based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines determined for members of the family Enterobacteriaceae

Francesc Tosquelles (Reus, 1912 – Granges-sur-Lot, 1994) is known as one of the major founders of the practice of institutional psychotherapy. His practice was deeply contextualized with the humanitarian emergency during the Spanish Civil War and World War II
Disciple of Emili Mira and attentive to the theories of Hermann Simon, Strauss and Jacques Lacan, Tosquelles articulated psychoanalysis and Marxism to establish the foundations of institutional psychotherapy. This was most realized during his work at the hospital in Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole between 1940 and 1962, after staying at the internment camp of Septfonds. Images from the Tosquelles family archive of daily life at Saint Alban and other archival ephemera are featured in the art portfolio of the "Air" issue of the Quarterly Journal with an introduction by scholar Joana Masó.

This contribution investigates the application of Passive Control techniques to reduce the severe transverse vibrations that railway bridges of moderate lengths may experience under resonant conditions. The proposed solution consists in connecting the slab to a series of auxiliary beams clamped between the bridge abutments through a set of fluid viscous dampers. A particular configuration minimising the space occupied by the devices and the auxiliary beams under the bridge deck is proposed for two typical typologies in the aforementioned lengths: slabs and girder bridges. First, the dynamic response of a double-beam analytical model is obtained in closed-form under harmonic excitation in order to detect the main governing parameters, capturing the essence of the response at resonance of the main beam fundamental mode. Then conditions are obtained for the optimal damper constants that minimise the main beam amplification. Finally the effectiveness of the solution and the adequacy of the expressions derived from the harmonic case are proven under railway traffic excitation taking into account the three-dimensional deformation of the deck. Throughout the study special attention is given to the beneficial effect arising from clamping the auxiliary beam supports when compared to the simply-supported case, analysed by the authors in previous works. Partial rotational restrictions are admitted to take into consideration the expectable deviation from ideally clamped conditions. Two case studies are presented showing that the auxiliary beams size, if partially clamped, could be significantly reduced for the same main beam vibration mitigation level. If the beams are to be installed under a railway bridge deck in a practical application, this is a crucial issue in order to minimise the free space occupied with the retrofit. [-]

Triple signal innovation reduces false alarms
In these scenarios, false alarms are often triggered by anything from bad weather to leaves or branches to pets. The answer to dealing with these is to be able to identify them and ignore them as 'non-threats'. As its name suggests, a Wireless Triple Signal Detector uses three sensors: a PIR sensor at the top, a microwave sensor, and another PIR sensor at the bottom. This means that it can detect at various heights, with a 15m and 90° adjustable detection area, more precisely identifying what is actually triggering the alarm.
Patented Independent Floating Threshold (IFT) technology allows the detectors to adjust their thresholds based on the environment infrared and background noise automatically and dynamically. This essentially reduces false alarms caused by background noise interference.
The detector uses digital temperature compensation to automatically adjust the alarm threshold according to environment. This also means it is much more resilient in bad weather conditions, and enables consistent detection throughout.


and background-color to the style.
function updateStyle(elem) {
 const shadow = elem.shadowRoot;
 shadow.querySelector('style').textContent = '
 div {
 width: ${elem.getAttribute('l')}px;
 height: ${elem.getAttribute('l')}px;
 background-color: ${elem.getAttribute('c')};
The actual updates are all handled by the life cycle callbacks, which are placed inside the class definition as methods. The connectedCallback() runs each time the element is added to the DOM — here we run the updateStyle() function to make sure the square is styled as defined in its attributes:
connectedCallback() {
 console.log('Custom square element added to page.');
The disconnectedCallback() and adoptedCallback() callbacks log simple messages to the console to inform us when the element is either removed from the DOM, or moved to a different page:
disconnectedCallback() {
 console.log('Custom square element removed from page.');
adoptedCallback() {
 console.log('Custom square element moved to new page.');
The attributeChangedCallback() callback is run whenever one of the element's attributes is changed in some way. As you can see from its properties, it is possible to act on attributes individually, looking at their name, and old and new attribute values. In this case however, we are just running the updateStyle() function again to make sure that the square's style is updated as per the new values:
attributeChangedCallback(name, oldValue, newValue) {
 console.log('Custom square element attributes changed.');
Note that to get the attributeChangedCallback() callback to fire when an attribute changes, you have to observe the attributes. This is done by specifying a static get observedAttributes() method inside custom element class - this should return an array containing the names of the attributes you want to observe:
static get observedAttributes() { return ['c', 'l']; }
This is placed right at the top of the constructor, in our example.

Transpilers vs. classes
Please note that ES2015 classes cannot reliably be transpiled in Babel 6 or TypeScript targeting legacy browsers. You can either use Babel 7 or the babel-plugin-transform-builtin-classes for Babel 6, and target ES2015 in TypeScript instead of legacy.
There are several libraries that are built on Web Components with the aim of increasing the level of abstraction when creating custom elements. Some of these libraries are FASTElement, snuggsi, X-Tag, Slim.js, Lit, Smart, Stencil, hyperHTML-Element, and DataFormsJS.


Lightning Arrester in Sioux Falls, SD
Earthing is an essential part of any electrical system as it ensures that fault current does not cause damage to appliances or worse still cause electrocution. There are different types of earthing; the conventional earthing and chemical earthing. The conventional earthing is the old method of earthing. With the invent of the chemical earthing, the process of earthing has become more advanced and effective. Chemical earthing, which is also referred to as Gel earthing is more reliable and completely non-bothersome. It can be effectively used at home and in industries.
Earthing is vital in any place where electricity. Its major role is to eliminate electrolytic action from any dynamic or electrostatic discharge that might harm sensitive or any electrical appliances using electricity.
Chemical or Gel Earthing is more advanced than conventional earthing. It has the following advantages when used:
- It is long lasting. lightning arrester in Sioux Falls, SD. lightning arrester in Sioux Falls, SD. Once installed, it can serve its purpose for over 30 years.
- Since it is long lasting, once installed you will not be worried about electrical faults or budget for them again. You spend money once on it and forget about it for a long time. Isn't that economical?
- There is no maintenance cost.
- It is also friendly to the environment and surroundings
- It is absolutely safe to be used in homes, offices as well as industries. In fact, it can be used to protect both humans and electrical appliances.
- They are economical in terms of the amount of space they occupy.
There are various types of chemical earthing electrodes that are used on different appliances and for different purposes. Each is custom made to ensure that it works well where it is used. These include:
- Galvanized Iron (GI) earthing electrode: This is commonly used for C.N.C and P.L.C machinery. It is designed in a way that it is highly galvanized, has high conductivity and is resistant to corrosion.
- Copper Electrode: These are preferred for most types of earthing because they have a high fault current carrying capacity which ensures that all faults current is taken care of. In fact, they ensure that if any electrical appliance, be it industrial or domestic is safe from conducting fault current even if it has some conductive parts exposed to this current. They also are good at conducting heat and are resistant to corrosion.
- Copper bonded Electrodes: This type has an even coating that has made it more stable in performance. They are highly resistant to corrosion and can last longer in any soil type. It is also strong and unbreakable. It comes in a variety of sizes that suit the various demands of clients.
- Copper bonded rods: There are different varieties; threaded, non-threaded, one side threaded another pointed, or made according to the desire of the customer (custom-made). They have been electroplated and are long lasting. They can be used to ensure fault current does not spoil any electrical appliances.
Lightning can be destructive to both human beings and other electrical appliances. When lightning strikes and causes the abrupt switching off of appliances, it results in transient over voltage.
Lightning arresters can avert this problem by transmitting current from lightning to the ground and ensure the safety of the whole house. E.S.E lightning arresters are specially designed to ensure that they stand all types of weather conditions, they are strong, resistant to corrosion and they have technology that enables them counter lightning. They do not need external power to operate and have been fitted with earthing technology. They are easy to install and comply fully with the industrial standards. You don't have to live in fear whenever lightning strikes, because they are cost effective.
