The Benefits of Using Dilution Control Systems

The cleaning chemicals your janitorial company uses every day come in various forms: ready-to-use, concentrated, and dilution control systems. Cleaning companies are using dilution control systems more and more every day. They see the value in having a system that not only mixes what they need for a specific job or building, but also mixes the chemical in the right dilution every time. This “proper mixing” not only saves money, but helps to ensure better cleaning results as the chemicals are always mixed correctly.

Dilution control systems have improved over the past few years and are now compact, easy to install and use, and some even have special features so you can easily fill buckets or auto scrubbers with whatever chemical you are mixing.

Most people think that if a little chemical works, than more will do the job quicker and better. However, using too strong of a solution can damage surfaces, while too weak of a solution may mean that employees have to work harder to get the results they’re looking for. A dilution control system eliminates this problem as it takes out the “guesswork” and ensures that chemicals are mixed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and not to an employee’s preference.

Other advantages include:

1. Fewer spills. Chemical spills are a major source of the work injuries suffered by cleaning company employees. Instead of pouring chemical from a jug into a spray bottle, workers fill their bottles using dispensers, reducing the chance of spills.

2. Reduced waste not only in chemicals, but also in employee time. Workers spend less time mixing chemicals and when they are mixed to the right specifications they work better, therefore, less time is spent cleaning.

3. Less storage space needed. Chemicals used in dilution control systems are highly concentrated and take up much less space than the traditional one or five gallon product containers.

4. Overall better cleaning results as products are consistency mixed to the right strength. What matters the most is how clean your buildings are. Using properly mixed chemicals means better overall results, which makes your cleaning company look good!

5. Dispensing systems come in different types and sizes with some dispensing only one chemical while others can mix several different products. Some systems have built in backflow prevention. There are units that need only a cold water connection (no electricity needed!). Once set up, most systems need little maintenance. Prices vary depending on the type of system you buy.

Still not sure if a dilution control system is right for your cleaning company, but you want the ability to mix your cleaning chemicals as you need them? Many cleaning products come in concentrated form that allows you to mix up what you need - however, this is a problem as chemicals are not always mixed correctly. A solution to this problem is to buy chemicals in pre-measured pouches.

All you do is pour the packet contents into a specific sized container (such as 32 ounces) that contains water. There is no guesswork and no handling of the chemical as the pouches are poured directly into a spray container. Pre-measured pouches are convenient, easy to use and require little training for employees to understand how to mix them properly. One company that has a line of products in pre-measured packets is Rochester Midland. Their line of Enviro Care chemicals in packets includes glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaners and disinfectants.

What is the downside of a chemical control system? If you have a large building or a company with several buildings, you may need several systems in place. If employees have to travel too far to use them, it is easier for them to go to the nearest janitorial closet and mix up what they need.

A properly installed chemical dispensing system takes the guesswork out of mixing chemicals and saves your cleaning company time and money. Before you buy a dispenser make sure you understand how the system works and that it is suitable for your situation. If a dilution control system is not right for your cleaning company, you still have the option of using smaller, portable systems or pre-measured chemical packets. Using either type of system gives you greater control over your chemical use and helps to keep your supply costs down.

Motorcycle Safety Gear - An Overview

When riding a motorcycle, proper safety gear is essential for your own safety, security and enjoyment. Here is an overview of important motorcycle safety gear.

Helmet

With many states and countries enacting helmet laws, it’s pretty much a requirement that if you own a motorcycle, you need a helmet. A helmet provides your head protection in the event of an impact or accident. Many helmets also include face shields, ear protection and even communications devices. There are three basic types of helmets, the full face, open face and 1/2 helmet. A full face helmet covers the entire head, with a face shield covering even the face. This type of helmet offers the most protection of any helmet type, since statistics show that 35% of all motorcycle crashes showed major impact in the chin and bar area. The open face helmet is similar to the full face helmet but lacks the face shield and chin protection. Very little face protection is provided with these types of helmets. With the open face helmet, it is crucial to augment with wraparound motorcycle goggles for proper eye protection from wind, dirt and bugs. The third type of helmet is the 1/2 helmet, which only covers the back of the skull, offering the least amount of protection during an accident and the minimum coverage allowed by most laws. The color of helmets is also important. While black helmets are stylish, they are also among the most difficult to see by other motorists. Helmets are generally made from plastics, including kevlar reinforced plastic and carbon fiber. Inside, a helmet is generally lined with fabric and foam for padding and comfort.

Motorcycle Clothing

There are several types of clothing generally worn by bikers, including the traditional “leathers” and the more protective textile suits that are now common and generally made from synthetic fibers. Leathers have been worn since World War I and were originally adapted from WWI tank corps gear. Leathers provide some impact protection, as well as protection from abrasion, scratches and punctures. In addition, there is some weather protection, however, leather tends to take a long time to dry from being wet and also tends to stay colder longer than regular clothing.

Nowadays, many bikers choose to opt for special motorcycle clothing made from synthetic fibers instead of traditional leathers. These man made textiles offer far better protection from the weather, heat, cold, rain and water. These materials also provide highly functional pockets and vents. In addition, the synthetic materials are generally more comfortable in different kinds of weather, even warmer weather. Synthetic fibers also take much less time to dry out than their leather counterparts.

These synthetic textile suits can also be worn over your regular clothing while still remaining comfortable, something not possible with leathers. The suits are usually made from high density ballistic nylon made from Kevlar, Cordura, Lycra or a combination thereof. They are also generally lined with waterproof material like Goretex.

Boots

Special boots are available specifically for bikers. Generally made from heavy leather, biker boots tend to have a shorter heel in order to allow maximum control while on the bike. Biker boots may also include metal, plastic or composite materials. Quality biker boots can protect the bikers feet, ankles and legs during an accident.

Approved vs. Unapproved Home HIV Test Kits

There are two kinds of home tests, approved and unapproved. Approved tests have been tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have a high rate of satisfaction and results. Unapproved tests have not been approved by the FDA for use in the United States.

Approved tests like the Home Access test come with several compartments, including specimen collection, mailing envelope to send the specimen to a designated laboratory, and pre and post counseling. It operates on a finger prick system where the user deposits his or her blood on designated paper and that is sent to a laboratory with a personal identification number and it take up to three days to get the most accurate result.

Unapproved home tests claim to be able to detect HIV antibodies through blood or saliva within 15 minutes or less. The makers of these kits state that like in a traditional test, the blood is obtained with a finger prick. Some of these kits use saliva testing which involves a mouth swab instead.

After depositing the specimen on designated paper, a solution is placed on it to test for the virus. These samples are not sent to any laboratory. These tests do not have any guarantee of results. The user could receive a positive result when in fact, they are negative. This is what?s commonly known as false positive. On the other hand, the could also get a negative result when in fact, they are positive. This is what?s known as a false negative. Both results can be damaging to the user and everyone around them as the person could become depressed and feel they need to take drastic action or they could unknowingly spread the disease.

Approved tests have been studied extensively by the FDA and shown that they can detect HIV-1 or the virus that causes AIDS. They have been through clinical studies that are able to identify 100 percent of positive known samples and 99.5 percent of negative samples.

Approved HIV home tests have pre and post counseling that is provided by the manufacturer. The unapproved tests provided no counseling. Counseling is very important for HIV testing because it provides the user with information as to what the results are, what action to take, how to prevent from getting the disease and how to keep from spreading it.

Approved tests are anonymous and can be purchased by mail order or in pharmacies. Some states require that new cases be reported to the health department, however, only the case numbers with the home tests are reported. The user?s identity is kept anonymous.

There are other ways to be tested for HIV. There is also an oral test that consists of a mouth and gum swab and a urine test. However, these are performed in doctor?s offices.

If in doubt about the legitimacy of a HIV home test, contact the HIV/AIDS Program of the FDA in the Office of Special Health Issues at 301-827-4460.

Using CDs To Backup Your Computer

Although computers only had floppy disk drives for many years, the CD-ROM was eventually added to computers. This allowed computer users to add information sources to their computers that were up to 700 MB in size instead of the 1.44MB limits that existed on most floppy disks. As you can imagine, this had a substantial effect on the quality and visual effects of programs that were sold on CD-ROMs.

From there, it was only a matter of time before computers were equipped with CD writers so that you could store the music and video data that you were finally experiencing on your computer. This gave the capacity to store up to 700MB of data in one small CD, and most people began to back up their computers onto CDs instead.

Even though there are better ways to store your data now, the CD-R is not a bad option, especially if you do not have large amounts of data to store. If you only have a few hundred MB or a few GB of data, you can very effectively back up your entire computer.

Additionally, even if you use DVD-Rs to do full system backups, the CD-R can be used to store small portions of data that get edited on a regular basis.

What does 48x mean?

48x (and the other numbers) are simply speed markers for the drive or CD-R. Different CD writers will write to the CD with speeds that depend on the numbers listed on the drive. Therefore, a 48x or 52x drive means that the CD itself is rotating 48 or 52 times per minute inside of the drive. As you can guess, these are high speed drives! You can also get slower speeds.’

Slow speed CD writers usually have fewer write errors. However, they will take longer, and may not be ideal if you have to back up a lot of data.

What is a CD-RW?

There are two types of CD that are important on a day to day basis. These are the CD-Rs and the CD-RWs. The CD-R is just a basic blank CD. They are usually marked with speed numbers (like 48x), which is how you can tell whether or not they are perfectly matched to the speeds that your CD drive will write at.

The CD-RW on the other hand, is a blank CD that you can write to more than once. This is good if you are looking to change your backup, or if you are just using the CD for transferring data from one computer to another.

Stick to brands you trust! Even the best drive will have some write errors, but if you purchase a good drive, you’ll have fewer errors and will waste less time and fewer CDs. These drives are also likely to come with software that will allow you to write to CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

Using CDs to backup your computer data is still an option for many computer users. Learn more about how to backup your computer at BackupAdvice dot com.

Thinking You Don’t Need A Diploma? Think Again

Here are several reasons that you should want one.

1. A person with a high school diploma will, without a doubt, earn much more than an employee who doesn’t have one. Last year, high school drop-outs and those without a high school diploma made over nine thousand dollars less per year than those adults who had earned a diploma even when there were no other differences in skills.

2. Companies that tend to hire people without diplomas usually pay their employees significantly less than companies who hire only high school graduates with diplomas.

3. A diploma will qualify you for trade schools and colleges that require a diploma for admission. This could significantly increase your earning potential. Lifetime earnings of college graduates average a million dollars higher than those who do not attend college.

4. Even if you are not headed for college, a high school diploma will allow you to qualify for many entry-level positions. Were you aware that some employers will not even consider applicants without a diploma regardless of their ability to do the job?

5. Most of the employers and many colleges still do prefer a high school diploma to a GED. Though this may not always be the case, the unfortunate stigma attached to a GED has led students to greatly prefer a high school diploma.

Ok…so you may agree that the diploma is desirable but don’t have time to spend hours in a traditional classroom setting. Fortunately for you, you may not have to spend any.

Did you know that you can earn a high school diploma from an online high school like Belford High School without the restrictions of age or physical location. They also give you the opportunity to show them the relevant experience you may already have to earn that diploma. This is perfect for a home school student or high school drop out there who has really already earned their diploma through valuable life experiences.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve. A high school diploma could be one of the best things you could ever do to yourself. Therefore, if you are still thinking you don’t need a diploma, you may want to think again.

Merry Wells is a former college instructor who encourages others to succeed using tools like Belford High School

Choosing The Right Eyewear For Your Activities

When it comes to protecting your eyes during sporting activities, it’s crucial to choose a pair of glasses or goggles that are appropriate for that particular activity. If you don’t choose well, your eyes may not be as protected as they should be.

Motorcycle Riding

For motorcycle riding, it’s important that your eyewear protect your eyes from sun, rain, bugs, dirt, road debris and wind. A good pair of motorcycle sunglasses or goggles will also enhance your view of the road by providing enhanced contrast as well as protection from sun glare and glare from other vehicles on the road. We also can’t forget that your eyewear should also be fashionable and be a stylish match with your helmet and other motorcycle attire. Sunglasses or goggles that are shatterproof, provide UV protection and fit well inside your helmet or outside your helmet, like goggles. should be a priority. There are also padded sunglasses available for enhanced comfort while riding long distances, interchangeable glasses that allow you to switch out different lenses for day and night driving, as well as prescription lenses available. Scratch resistance is also a plus.

Snow Sports Activities

Quality ski/snow goggles are essential for winter sports activities. You’ll need reliable, comfortable eye protection from objects as well as UV rays and glare from the snow and sun. In addition, good ski goggles should enhance your range of vision and be vented to protect against fogging. Proper ski goggles should also be comfortable to wear, preferably with padding, with or without a helmet.

Bicycling Sunglasses

When choosing bicycling sunglasses, there are several important factors you should be aware of. First, bicyclists tend to fall or crash sometimes, so it’s important to choose lenses that are shatterproof and will not harm your eyes should you hit the pavement for whatever reason. Next, proper tinting is a must, not just for UV protection, but for protection from sun glare and glare from vehicles driving by. Next, peripheral vision is extremely important to cyclists, especially those who ride competitively or who ride around auto traffic. You need sunglasses that will allow you to have the widest possible field of vision. In addition, you don’t want your sunglasses sliding off your face or moving around, so they need to be wraparound style or face hugging style, so that you never have to take your hands off of the bike while riding to adjust them.

Golf Glasses

While golfing, you’ll often be looking towards the sun, whether to find the ball on the green or to follow it in the air. For this fact alone, you need excellent UV protection and extra protection from sun glare. Also, excellent contrast should be a priority, as golfers tend to play at many different times of day and in many conditions, including full sun, partial sun, clouds, partial clouds and sun, fog and at times of the day that offer differing amounts of light such as dawn, twilight, noontime and afternoon sun. A good pair of golf glasses will enhance your field of vision and also protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

Correct Breathing In Pilates Is Essential

Breathing In Pilates

There is a lot more to Pilates than working out. It’s something that you should feel good about doing, requiring application of the mind and energised after you have done a Pilates session. If you follow a Pilates exercise program consistently you will become leaner and stronger, not to mention fitter and feel good on the inside too.

Nobody is going to hand the body you want to you on a plate. To achieve the body you would like is going to take work. Anything we want in this life requires some application, and Pilates is no different. That said, it’s something that isn’t so hard on the body that you can’t do it every day if you wanted to. Pilates will give your body core strength and strong abdominal muscles. When you are working and doing the exercises you will notice huge improvements in this area of your physical fitness.

Pilates is also about breathing correctly and practising breathing techniques. The more you do this, the better you will get at the exercises you are performing. Doing a Pilates workout is not something that you should dread. Create a positive forward image by looking forward to each and every session, spending time in the moment and getting the most out of each one. Pilates requires mental focus and precise movements. You need to really keep positive mentally so that you stick with it and achieve your goals.

You will find that most Pilates exercises come complete with instructional advice on how you should breath. In our day to day lives, most people don’t breath correctly despite the fact it is autonomous. You can find out more about Pilates exercises at pilatesworkoutzone.com

Pilates helps you use up your full lung capacity with breathing right down to your abdominal area. Rib expansion to accommodate a higher volume of air is also an aspect of correct breathing technique. Breathing whilst concentrating on your exercise is an integral part of Pilates exercise.

In Times Of Great Debt, Who Do You Pay?

The First Evaluation

Judge the debts according to whether they are secured or unsecured. This means whether you risk losing property used as collateral or not, if you don’t pay. Examples of this are the car loan, secured with your car and the mortgage, secured with your home.

So, There Are Priorities

Family needs are first. Food, essential clothing and unavoidable medical bills are top of the list. Next come your housing bills. Rent or mortgage must be kept up. If you own your home, real estate taxes and insurance are a must, unless they are taken care of within the mortgage. Condo fees or mobile home lot payments are essential.

Next come utility services. Pay the minimum required to maintain the service. Having no light or gas is a real hassle. Well, you’ve been camping haven’t you? If you need to keep your car, pay loan or lease installments as a next priority. However, this may go up a couple of steps if you need your car to keep your job. Car insurance will have to be considered too.

Child Support Debts

These are next, even though one might think they should be first on the list. Following these debts, income tax is a hot issue. Even if you can’t afford to pay all the taxes that are not deductible by your employer, you must file your federal income tax all the same. In fact, if you have lost income, you will also have to pay less tax, this is a great truth.

Low Priority

Debts secured with household goods are low priority. This kind of debt should be treated as an unsecured debt. Should a creditor threaten to sue you if you don’t pay up, do not move this debt up the priority scale. Most suits are never carried out.

Court judgements will inevitably make you give these debts a higher priority, since the creditor can use public force to seize some of your property.

Things That Should Never Make You Flinch

Collectors’ efforts for getting their cash should not make you budge even if they do stand all day at your front door. Threatens to ruin your credit record should not affect the priority of a debt, either.

Credit Cards

These are a separate matter. They can wait until you have paid all other essential debts. When you have freed some cash from your income, next thing is a loan to consolidate your credit card debt.
By taking action and sticking to your initial plan, you begin to lose fear of your collectors. This is capital because it gives you the trust to start an upward soar in your economy. You begin to look at things in a different way and you will even be surprised at how you got yourself into that situation, if it is so simple to have sound finances.

What Is Systematic Bio Energetics?

It is the ability to work within the body’s framework to move the life force (Chi) to un-block malfunctions and / or dis-ease in the body: Using the fingertips to ‘feel’ the pulsations of energy moving this energy where it is needed. Learning to sense a weakened organ or system in the body’s inner life-line. It is Acupressure to some degree. SYSTEMATIC BIO ENERGETICS and Acupressure an ancient Therapy for tension and pain relief.

Have you ever hit your finger with a hammer or closed it in a door? What was the first thing you did? Right, you held onto it and squeezed it. You put pressure on the injury. Perhaps you have had a headache and put your fingers to your temples to relieve the pain, somehow it seemed to help. You really do not know why, it just does and it seemed the thing to do at the time. The impulse that makes you double over and press your stomach in response to abdominal cramps is another example of the instinctive practice of acupressure. It may well be the most ancient form of physical therapy.

Over 5000 years ago, the Chinese discovered certain points on the body which, when pressed, punctured or heated, had beneficial effects on certain ailments. Through trial and error and time more and more points were discovered that not only alleviated pain but also influenced the functioning of internal organs. More recently, high-tech equipment has scientifically revealed that these points actually have a higher electrical conductivity on the surface of the skin.

In traditional Chinese medicine, methods range from the most natural to the most intrusive. The most down-to-earth, natural healing methods, such as breathing exercises, dietary therapy, acupressure and herbology, were and are still used as a people’s form of hands-on healing. If more treatment was needed, acupuncture and chiropractic were used as more complex and manipulative, followed by drugs and surgery, which used the most drastic interventions in last -resort medicine. It should still be this way today! However people use the drastic form of healing first and as a last resort will try the natural way to help the body to heal.

It’s hard for people to understand how or why the body heals by just touching it. We do not feel it’s necessary to understand this concept, just accept it. It is a natural and wonderful way of helping one another. When certain points on the body are touched they connect with a reflex of the pain, along with muscle tension or trauma that has been stored in the body for a long time. This causes a release and the body can heal on its own. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same meridian points. The fundamental distinction lies in the needles used in acupuncture and the gentle but firm pressure of acupressure. Although the older of the two techniques, acupressure tended to be overlooked as the Chinese developed more “technological” methods for stimulating points with needles and electricity. However, using the power and sensitivity of the human hand and the mind, acupressure continues to be more effective in relieving tension related ailment in self-treatment and in preventive health care.

Many ailments and dis-ease can be the result of too much stress challenging the body’s balancing systems beyond their limits. The resulting tension and internal stress inhibit the body’s ability to cope effectively with the disrupting condition. To relax muscular tension and balance the vital forces of the body’s homeostasis specific points and meridians, are used.

SYSTEMATIC BIO ENERGETICS practitioner’s consider symptoms to be an expression of the condition of the person as a whole. Thus, when SYSTEMATIC BIO ENERGETICS is used as a holistic approach, it works before the constrictions and toxins have caused damage to the internal organs.

It is our belief that tension is a stagnation of the bodily flows: the nerves, meridians, lymphatic ducts and blood vessels. Lack of exercise, a poor diet, alcohol and drugs all contribute significantly to this stagnation. Emotional repression, neurotic habits, as well as the common stresses of day to day life can cause blocks in the life flow of energy. Whether conscious or not, lock the homeostasis mechanism of the body, restricting proper functioning. Headaches are one example of the body’s warning signals. They indicate muscular tension and possible oxygen deprivation in the brain. Instead of taking aspirin to repress such a signal by cutting off the body’s natural alarm system, Systematic Bio Energetics technique releases the tight, constricted muscles to correct the imbalance and its cause. There are many possible causes of headaches. These can include emotional stress, chronic shoulder and neck tension, which can partially block the circulation of the blood to the head; meridian imbalances; cervical misalignment, which creates strain on the head / neck muscles and pinched nerves; intestinal congestion. In extreme cases, headaches can signify more serious conditions.

A number of chemical changes take place in the body during a Systematic Bio Energetics treatment. One such change deals with the sedation of pain. The body produces its own painkillers, known as endorphins., which are five to ten times more powerful than morphine. Endorphins are produced by the pituitary gland and can inhibit the transmission of the pain signals through the spinal cord.

Studies have revealed that pain signals travel along the nerve pathways to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, beginning a complicated reflex action. From the spinal cord the impulses is relayed to the thalamus, where the sensations of heat, cold, pain, and touch are recognized. The thalamus forwards the impulse along to the cerebral cortex where the intensity and location of the pain is recognized. The brain then sends signals back through the spinal cord to release endorphins. However, according to the “gate control theory”, the nervous system can respond to only a limited amount of sensory information at one time. When the system becomes overloaded it short-circuits or closes a gate, reducing the amount of sensory information available for processing. The application of Systematic Bio Energetics encourages the brain to produce more endorphins while the pressure also acts to confuse the body with too many sensations to respond to, forcing the body to close the “Pain Gates”. This interrupts the pain cycle, eases the pain and helps the body to relax.

The practice of my work has developed primarily through a combination of instinct and hands-on experience. Its principles and healing techniques have also been influenced by the gift of healing through my near-death experience which enabled me to “feel or see” trigger points and use the ancient meridians as well as the sensory and autonomic nervous system to move this natural energy to an area that is blocked or lacks the impulse to stimulate its self to heal. Acupressure is an ancient art in itself, however, like most practitioners in this field of work, I have developed a more advance method of using it. I feel I have used the best of both worlds.

What makes Systematic Bio Energetics different from other energy work:

Systematic Bio Energetics works inside the physical body (by way of the etheric body) using the minds eye to “see or sense” a malfunction or dis-ease. Knowing the anatomy of the body: what organs, glands, and the skeletal structure look like then using the mind’s eye to see the organ or gland and direct the energy form the hands to the points. Using the nervous systems, meridians and pressure points to facilitate healing. What sets it apart? Knowing the Body! The intent behind the energy movement!

Is Energy Real! How do I know I can make it work?

YES…! Energy is real! Have you ever looked up into the sun and then closed your eyes and saw spots? The energy that comes into your eyes from the sun affected the Optic Nerve in the eye causing energy to vibrate the nerve. I can also prove it to you in another way: take a red light bulb into a totally dark room, like your closet or bathroom and make sure there is no light is let in. Put the light into a small lamp and let your eyes get used to the red light. Then look down at your hands and you will see the energy field playing between your fingers. This is how I discovered that energy was real. You can pull the energy from around your fingers, stretch it and by wiggling your fingers the energy turns color!

You have an energy field…and by knowing where it is, and how to use it can help to balance a weakened energy circuit in a client that has a dis-ease or malfunction in their body. A Systematic Bio Energetics treatment is more than just acupressure. A treatment will include a counseling session to find the root cause of the malfunction in the body. Medical science no believes that over 90% of the physical dis-ease and medical symptoms are caused by stress and emotional trauma. So a practitioner will address these issues. We also treat the dietary situations of our clients. We work on sugar sensitivity and bring the body into a healthy well being. Treating Body Mind and Spirit.
