Cl. 204-147 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In a method for preventing adherence to marine life to structures submerged in sea water by immersing, in the sea water adjacent the structure, an insoluble anode and at least one cathode in closely spaced relation and passing a current between the anode and the cathode or cathodes, the build up of deposits on the cathode or cathodes, is prevented by maintaining the current value so as to have a current density, on each cathode, in excess of 3 a./dm.
This invention relates to the prevention of fouling of sea water-immersed structures by marine life and, more particularly, to a novel electrolytic method for preventing such fouling.
In order to prevent difiiculties arising from the choking of flow passages, for example, of sea ducts and sea water coolers of steam power plants, marine vessels, etc., by adherence of marine life thereto, and to preclude various undesirable consequences of adherence of marine life to the submerged parts of hulls, it is usual, in practice, to coat the surfaces in contact with sea water with coppercontaining paints and to introduce chlorine in the sea water flow passages.
It is also known that non-consumable electrodes, or platinum, platinum alloys, magnetic iron oxides, etc. when used as anodes, in the electrolysis of sea water, will evolve chlorine and hypochlorite which inhibits growth of marine life.
It is further known that, during electrolysis of sea water, hydrogen generally will be evolved on the cathode and result in an increase in the amount of hydroxyl ions (OH) around the cathode with consequent deposition, on the cathode, of calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide which are hard components of sea water. Since the specific conductance of sea Water is usually as low as 4000;43, the power loss due to the resistance of the sea water is undesirably large. For this reason, it is advisable, in effecting electrolysis of sea water for the purpose of preventing marine life adhering to submerged surfaces, to employ the least possible gap or interspace between the electrodes, thereby to minimize the power loss. However, a reduced gap between the electrodes can permit the cathode deposits to clog the gap and obstruct the flow of sea water.
For the foregoing reasons, it is important, when using electrolysis of sea water to prevent deposition of marine life on submerged structures, to provide a method for precluding the possibility of inter-electrode choking by the cathode deposits and also to provide electrodes particularly suitable for preventing such choking. Additionally, the electrode arrangement should be such that the relatively expensive anode may be protected against mechanical damage due to flotsam and jetsam and other debris in sea water.
As a result of experiments, it has been found that the deposition of hard constituents of sea water on a cathode increases proportionately with the cathode current density until the current density reaches 0.1 a./dm. For example, the deposits attained a thickness of 0.5 mm. using a current density of 0.05 a./dm. for hours but, with a current density of l a./dm. the thickness of the deposits is very substantially decreased and, at a current density in excess of 3 a./dm. there is almost no deposition of the cathode. Thus, above a current density of 1 a./dm. the thickness of the cathode deposit decreases with increase of the current density at the cathode.
The thickness of the deposition on the cathode is 0.2 mm. for 45 hours with a current density of 0.05 a./dm. and under normal temperature. The thickness of the cathode deposits under current densities of 0.05, 0.1, l, 2, 4 and 18.6 a./dm. are shown in the following table:
TABLE A Duration of current flow, hours 200 400 Measured thickness Cathode current density, Calculated thickness at 200 ./dm. of deposition, mm. hours, mm.
The above relation between cathode current density and measured thickness of the cathode deposits is illustrated graphically in FIG. 8, from which it will be seen that the thickness of the deposit is extremely decreased with a current density of not less than 3 a./dm.
The probable reason for the observed phenomenon is that, at a cathode current density of not less than 3 a./ dm. the pH value of sea water around the cathode will be increased until the deposit is re-dissolved, and that hydrogen bubbles thus vigorously evolved may strip the deposits from the cathode.
Consequently, for preventing sticking of marine life to structures submerged in sea water, it is necessary to choose, for the electrodes, either an extremely small cathode current density or a density of at least 3 a./dm. so as to prevent the disadvantageous results of clogging of the inter-electrode spaces or gaps. On the other hand, the size of the anode must be selected on the basis of the current required for effectively generating chemical components for preventing growth of marine life, according to the amount of sea water in contact with the structures and also on the basis of the critical current density applicable to the anode.
Parallel plate electrodes, as commonly used, are ineffective to meet such requirements due to the fact that the narrow and consequently essentially long, inter-electrode space is easily clogged or blocked.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of preventing sticking of marine life to submerged objects by electrolysis in which, notwithstanding a limited inter-electrode spacing, the inter-electrode space is not clogged by cathode deposits produced by electrolysis of sea water.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method for preventing adherence of marine life to structures submerged in sea water by effecting, between an insoluble anode and a cathode structure surrounding the anode and spaced therefrom, a flow of electrolytic current having a density on the cathode structure in excess of 3 a./dm.
In accordance with the invention, an anode, which may be a columnar anode comprising silver plated with platinum or platinum alloy, titanium plated with platinum, or
magnetic iron oxide, is positioned at the center of an electrode arrangement. This anode is surrounded by a cathode construction and the cathode construction may comprise a plurality of round rods, or net-like spiral or cylindrical metallic members provided with plural perforations, and suitable dielectric material is interposed between the anode and the cathode construction. The arrangement is such as to provide an integral unit wherein the current density on the cathodes is maintained at a value of not less than 3 a./dm. the current flow between the anode and the cathode for the electrolysis of sea water. The cathodes surrounding the anode also serve to protect the latter against impact with flotsam and other debris in the sea water.
For an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference is made to the following description of typical embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. I is a perspective elevation view, partly in section,
of one form of electrode unit for practicing the method of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective elevation view of the anode forming part of the unit shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a perspective elevation view, partly broken away, of one form of arrangement comprising plural electrode units shown in FIG. 1, as fitted to a sea inlet port;
FIG. 4 is an elevation view, partly in section, of another form of arrangement comprising the electrode unit shown in FIG. 1, as fitted in an electrolytic tank communicating with sea water piping;
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 are somewhat diagrammatic horizontal sectional views of other anode and cathode arrangements for practicing the method of the invention;
FIG. 8 is a graphic illustration showing the relation between cathode current density and the thickness of deposition on the cathodes, corresponding to table A mentioned hereinbefore; and
Referring to FIG. 1, the electrode unit illustrated therein, comprises a plurality of round bar cathodes 2 surrounding an anode 1. The anode is formed, for example, of a round rod of commercially available magnetic iron oxide, 56 1mm. in diameter and 740 mm. in length. Anode 1 is positioned in the center of the unit and is surrounded by the cathodes 2 which, in the illustrated embodiment, are six mild steel round rods secured at uniform intervals to mild steel end support frames 3 and 3. To facilitate mounting of the unit, end frame 3 is flanged.
A suitable dielectric material 4 is used for insulation between anode 1 and cathodes 2. In the illustrated embodiment, this dielectric or insulating material is a rigid polyvinyl chloride pipe or tube used in the form of sleeves on the upper and lower portions of the anode. These sleeves are sealed with synthetic resin at the top and bottom of the ends of the anode, whereby the round rod cathodes 2 are spaced equal distances from anode 1. A cathode lead wire is suitably secured to a terminal on support frame 3, and an anode lead wire 6 is secured to the assembly in such a way that the anode assembly 1-4 can be readily pulled out of the electrode unit by simply pulling lead wire 6 upwardly.
FIG. 2 illustrates the anode forming part of the unit shown in FIG. 1. The anode is designed for an anode current of 60 a. (5 a./d'm. and because the surface area of each round rod cathode is about 230 cm. the average current density on the cathodes is 4.3 a./dm. or high enough to prevent the possibility of deposits forming on the cathodes.
Generally, an electrolytic current concentration of 0.3 a./ (m. /h.) of sea water can prevent adherence of marine life. Assuming that the intake of a sea water inlet pipe, to be protected against adherence of marine life thereto is 200 m. /h. (which corresponds to the amount of water for cooling a condenser of a power plant having a capac- 4 ity of about 15,000 kw.), the electrolytic current required can be calculated to be 0.3 a./(m. /h.) X2000 m. h.=6O0 a.
To meet this requirement, it is necessary to employ only about 10 electrode units of the type shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 illustrates these electrode units as mounted at a sea water inlet port. Referring to FIG. 3, the individual electrode units shown in FIG. 1 are designated at 7. A sea water pipe is indicated at 8, a strainer for removing flotsam and debris from the sea water is indicated at 9, and a support for the electrode units is indicated at 10. This support 10 is, in turn, fixed to a mounting flange of the strainer. Support 10 has a cylindrical shape with a suitably perforated circumferential wall and a top end wall, so that it can prevent evaporation of the products of the electrolysis and prevent dispersion of the effective constituents clue to the force of waves and the like.
Since each individual anode is surrounded by cathodes, as described, the current distribution is substantially uniform and generation of stray currents is minimized, whereby other apparatus is prevented from corrosive attack. A further advantage of the arrangement is that safety to personnel is assured because the cathodes are grounded for protection from electrical shock. For reasons of structural strength, cylindrical support 10 is made of ordinary mild steel and is preferably connected to the negative side of the electrode unit so that this support can be protected from corrosion.
FIG. 4 illustrates the electrode unit as mounted in an electrolytic tank connected to sea water piping. Referring to FIG. 4, a sea water pipe is indicated at 11 as extending into an electrolytic tank 12 for accommodating the electrode unit. The tank may be of any desired configuration, although its capacity is dependent on the side of sea water pipe 11. The electrode units are illustrated at 13, each comprising a central anode surrounded by a plu rality of cathodes as described in connection with FIG. 1. Lead wires 14 and 15 are connected to the anode and to the cathodes, respectively.
A support plate for the electrode unit is indicated generally at 16 as forming part of the enclosure of the electrolytic tank and as including a threaded extension 17 serving as an electrode assembly receiver. The extension 17 is formed with apertures for inserting the electrode units into the electrolytic tank, and is threadedly engaged with a closure 19 with the interposition of a gasket 18. The cathode lead wire may extend from closure 19, support plate 16, or electrolytic tank 12.
It is also possible to mount the cathodes of electrode units 13 to support plate 16 in any desirable manner whereby they surround the respective individual anode. Thus, the arrangement of anodes and cathodes in the electrode units may take the modified forms such as shown in FIGS. 5-7 wherein it will be noted that, in each case, an anode 1 is surrounded by cathodes 2. FIG. 8 graphically illustrates the relation between the current density and thickness of cathodic deposits. It will be clear, from FIG. 8, that the deposition is greatly decreased when the cathode current density is equal to at least 3 a./d-m.
Summarizing the invention as described above, the method for preventing adherence of marine life whereby electrode devices for performing the invention and whereby clogging of sea water intake pipes and other difiiculties, such as increased resistance of hull bottoms due to deposition of marine life, through electrolysis of sea water, involves the positioning of cathodes around respective individual anodes, with the inter-electrode spaces being very small as compared with those electrode plates arranged in parallel, whereby the power loss due to liquid resistance is minimized. Nevertheless, the short inter-electrode spacings can be prevented from clogging by hard constituents of sea water, thus positively preventing adherence of marine life through the electrolysis of sea water. The method of the invention is very valuable industrially, particularly because the relatively expensive anodes are surrounded by cathodes and are thus protected from mechanical damage due to flotsam.
What is claimed is:
1. In the technique of preventing adherence of marine life to structures submerged in sea Water by immersing, in the sea water adjacent the structure, an insoluble anode and at least one cathode in closely spaced relation and passing a current between the anode and the cathode to electrolyze the sea Water to produce substances inhibiting growth of the marine life with deposition, of hard components of the sea water, on the cathode tending to block the relatively narrow anode-cathode flow passages: the method of preventing build-up of such cathode deposits comprising maintaining, on the cathode, a current having a density in excess of 3 a./dm.
2. The method claimed in claim 1 in which plural cathodes are immersed in the sea water surrounding and uniformly spaced from a central anode and the current density on each cathode being maintained in excess of 3 a./dm.

During the heat wave in July, I wrote about drought-tolerant gardens: Here
I have for two years been working towards a more drought-tolerant planting scheme for both the south-facing front border and the Blue Border the priority here was to remove the requirement to water during the summer.
The front border is south facing, in full sun, while the blue border is partly shaded by next door’s huge copper beech tree.
THE FRONT GARDEN.
A small front border edges the drive, it was planted with Bearded Iris, Roses, Nepeta ‘ Six hills giant’, Salvia Nachtvlinder, Eryngium Giganteum (Miss Willmotts Ghost), Eryngium planum and Eschscholzia californica.
Last year our neighbours removed the conifer hedge bordering this bed, providing almost two feet of extra depth to the border.
Following lifting, dividing and replanting some of the bearded irises, with the extra space avalible, I have added more of the annual Eschscholzia californica, lavender, Hyssop, Helichrysum italicum (Curry Plant) Valerian phu ‘Aurea’ along with some Tulip ‘Johann Strauss’ and other species tulip bulbs.
There was a Myrtus Communis already growing against the house, I have added another one here which I propagated from cuttings.
THE BLUE BORDER.
In the Blue Border plants that did not perform during last year’s drought were removed, creating space for more drought-tolerant plants. Helianthus Lemon Queen was one, it really does not like dry conditions.
Aster divaricatus was moved to the shade while others were lifted and potted for sale on our open days. Aster trinervius, ‘Asran’, Aster sedifolius and Symphyotrichum ericoides ‘White Heather’, were retained due to their flowering following the drought.
The Allium family do well in dry conditions so do the Bearded Iris, divisions from the front garden I have planted here in the space created. The blue Centaurea montana is a real survivor, we also have Centaurea montana ‘Lady Flora Hastings’ in the White & Green garden, it has white star like flowers.
Deep tap rooting plants such as Cirsium rivulare ‘Trevor’s Blue Wonder’, Echinops ritro, Eryngium Giganteum (Miss Willmotts Ghost) and Eryngium planum, with their deep tap roots are excelent drought tolerant plants with the bonus of being popular with the pollinators.
Pilosella aurantiaca (Fox and Cubs)is a wildflower, which could become invasive, I tolerate it for its orange splash of colour. (I think it was Christopher Lloyd who said if your friends do not like orange in the garden call it butterscotch.) More information can be found on the RHS Website.
Francoa sonchifolia, Geranium phaeum var. phaeum ‘Samobor’, Hesperis matronalis, Lunaria annua ‘Rosemary Verey’, Stipa arundinacea and Stipa tenuissima happily self-seed around the garden whatever the weather.
Fennel, Hollyhocks, Hyssop, Inula magnifica, Lychnis chalcedonica, Lychnis Coronaria (Red and White), Salvia Nachtvlinder and Verbena Bonariensis are drought-tolerant plants that I have grown from seed. Valeriana pyrenaica, also from seed, has been happy so far planted in the shade.
Purchased Perennials are Kniphofia Banana Popsicle, Perovskia Blue Spire, Helichrysum italicum (Curry Plant) and Sedum Mr. Goodbud
Pittosporum Tom Thumb, Thuja Occidentalis ‘Rheingold’, Buxus and Taxus bac. Fastigiata (Irish Yew) provide winter interest.
The Blue Border in winter showing the four central Buxus.
I am now waiting to see which plants have survived this winter’s low temperatures, especially the newly planted young ones.
It will be interesting to see how this tweak to the planting palette performs this summer.
Will we now have a wet one?

I couldn’t move. As soon as we’d neared Benning Ridge, one of the Guards had zapped me with that paralytic wand they carried at their waist. I’d watched muddy soil pass beneath us as they carried me into the gated camp. Pale, bony feet passed through my line of vision, but never any faces. I could smell rot and decay, and my heart skipped a beat every time I heard someone scream. Though the sun was out now, an impenetrable gloom hung over the place, and as much as I wanted to run away, to search for Zion and leave, it was all I could do to keep breathing.
We passed through a set of large metal doors, and then descended three flights of steps into the depths of what I assumed to be some sort of headquarters. The floor was slate gray, as were the walls. Rivets held the sheeting together, and thick metal doors hid any number of things from prying eyes. I pictured rooms full of bodies, torture chambers, labs, and arsenals. I wanted to scream, but my throat had all but dried up.
I heard the jingling of keys, and then one of the doors swung open. I was deposited onto a thick concrete slab, my nose and cheek pressed against the icy stone. This paralytic was stronger than the one used on me when I’d been with Andrew; I couldn’t move my lips or blink my eyes. The effort it took to draw in a breath was excruciating, and my chest felt like a balloon about ready to burst. My eyes itched and burned, and I was desperate to blink them. I could’ve cried, but somehow even that bodily function was on hold. I was literally a wet rag. A ragdoll.
I was helpless.
The door slammed behind me, and the overhead light clicked off, shrouding me in darkness. Cool air caressed my body, and my skin tingled. I sensed goosebumps spread across my arms, but I had no way to warm myself. I lay there in misery, a prisoner trapped inside my own mind. Was it possible Zion was in one of these cells? Was he even at Benning Ridge? Who else had lain on this slab, wondering how much longer they had to live? How much longer did I have?
I wasn’t sure how long I lay there. It could’ve been an hour; it could’ve been ten. Blood slowly pumped back into my extremities, and after a while I was able to push myself into a sitting position. I couldn’t see an inch in front of my face, and the thought that someone or something else lurked in the room crossed my mind a fair amount. I tried to steel myself for whatever was coming next, but when the door swung open and the lights switched on, I was thrown off guard. The fluorescents were blinding, and I squinted against the all-consuming white. My eyes wouldn’t adjust fast enough, and a hand gripped either of my arms, lifting me off my seat and dragging me into the hallway. My feet clumsily trailed after, and my fingers danced at my sides, but at least out here, in the dimly lit hallway, I could see.

(MENAFN) Nvidia has ascended to become the fourth most valuable publicly traded company in the US, surpassing Amazon in market value due to robust demand for artificial intelligence (AI).
Despite a slight 0.17 percent decline in Nvidia's stock price on Tuesday, the US-based global chipmaker's market capitalization reached USD1.78 trillion, exceeding Amazon's USD1.75 trillion market value as Amazon shares dropped by 2.15 percent.
Nvidia's stock price surged by 17.2 percent since the start of February, reaching USD721.28 per share on Tuesday from USD615.27 at the end of January. This remarkable rally follows Nvidia's tripling of revenue to a record high in the third quarter, driven by increasing demand for its hardware essential for AI tasks.
According to a financial results statement released on Nov. 21, Nvidia reported a revenue of USD18.12 billion for the quarter ending Oct. 29, marking a 206 percent increase compared to the same period last year and a 34 percent rise from the preceding quarter.
Earlier, on Jan. 26, Microsoft reclaimed a market value exceeding USD3 trillion, surpassing Apple as the US' most valuable public company by market capitalization. Apple currently holds the second position with a market cap of USD2.86 trillion, followed by Google's parent Alphabet with USD1.81 trillion.
Nvidia's shares, which surged nearly 11 percent during pre-market trading on the Nasdaq, are poised to potentially overtake Alphabet's market cap on Wednesday.
Although Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil company of Saudi Arabia, boasts a market cap surpassing USD7.7 trillion on Wednesday, it is not listed on an international exchange, with its shares solely traded on the Saudi stock exchange, Tadawul.

Experimental characterization of the thermodynamic behavior of gas binary mixtures containing components of fuel gases is of great importance due to the proved lack of reliable data of thermodynamic properties of mixtures. These data are essential not only for the improvement and test of the current reference equation of state for natural gases and related mixtures, GERG-2008, but also for the indirect determination of other properties. In this work density measurements of mixtures of carbon dioxide with methane are presented as a contribution to the research project EMRP ENG01 of the European Metrology Research Program, in the field of characterization of energy gases. Accurate density measurements for three binary mixtures of carbon dioxide with methane (xCo2 = 0.20, 0.40, and 0.60) were performed at temperatures between (250 and 400) K and pressures up to 20 MPa, using a single sinker densimeter with magnetic suspension coupling, which is one of the state of the art methods for density determination over wide ranges of temperature and pressure. Experimental densities were compared with the GERG-2008 equation of state and with the experimental data reported by other authors for similar mixtures. Relatively large deviations from the equation of state observed at low temperatures suggests the possibility of higher uncertainties of the GERG model in the low temperature range.

Infinite Lovers associate with positive, loving people. People without love associate with negative or unloving people.
Infinite Lovers realize they are not alone. Instead, they thrive in community with others who also find ways to keep love alive in their daily actions and words.This is one of the Love Principles. For the full list, follow this link.
It isn’t that Infinite Lovers run away at the sound of the first harsh word. It’s that Infinite Lovers choose who they spend their time and energy with. Like the way that the food we eat and water we drink impacts our bodies, the love we create and the energy in the people around us affects us.
Please leave comments with your thoughts and feelings about this and the other Love Principles.

MOUNT OLIVE TWP. Local officials are asking the Morris County Open Space Trust for $1.5 million to purchase 286 acres for future preservation of two properties now leased as farms.
Township grants coordinator Kathy Murphy said $1 million will be sought for purchase of Silver Springs Manor, which includes three parcels off Flanders-Drakestown Road and two smaller lots near Corey Road and Turkey Brook Park.
Another $500,000 is being sought to purchase 75 acres in the northwest corner of the township, known as the Charters Farm.
Murphy said the availability of both properties recently came to the attention of the Open Space Committee, which had listed both as targets for preservation in the 1999 Open Space Master Plan.
"This is a logical next step," said Township Administrator Sandy Kaplan. "Hopefully, we'll get full funding for it."
Mount Olive has received funding in each of the past three years in which the township submitted target acquisitions for trust review.
A grant of $1 million was awarded by the county agency to The Trust for Public Land of Morristown last year for the purchase of 600 acres in Budd Lake, known as Crown Tower. The township itself submitted no official proposal to the county program in 2000.
"Both of these properties are being farmed by tenants and both have absentee owners," said Murphy. "Because they are farms, we have a number of options we might pursue."
Turkey Brook Growth
The property owned by Silver Springs Manor, a development company, includes two parcels that are directly adjacent to Turkey Brook Park, a 250-acre open space preserve currently under development as the focus for active recreation in the township. Murphy said purchase of those two lots would add about 30 acres to the p ark.
The other parcels, which do not include the Silver Springs Farm Restaurant on Flanders-Drakestown Road, lie further southeast, running from the restaurant south to the rear of the Weis Market property on Flanders- Bartley Road.
Once the grant applications are submitted to the county agency, an on-site inspection will be conducted in September.
The township will present oral arguments f or its applications in October, leading to monetary awards sometime in the last two months of the year. Murphy said a trust official will attend a Township Council meeting in August to explain details of the application process.
One of the options that may be considered as the grant process unfolds is what M urphy calls "a fee simple purchase." That would allow the township to purchase the land using county grants and other sources of funds, including the local op en space tax account.
"Once the property belonged to the township, we could resell to a buyer who would be willing to farm the land under a perpetual deed restriction," Murphy said.
In effect, that roundabout process would yield similar results to inclusion of t he properties in the Morris County Farmland Preservation program. Farmers who apply for preservation grants may not use their land for any purpose other than farming in perpetuity. They receive a one-time, lump sum to compensate them for assuring that their land will not be otherwise developed.
"Because both of these properties we are looking at this year have absentee owners, it doesn't seem likely that they have any interest in applying under the farmland program," Murphy said. "It is possible that we can achieve the same results by going about it in a different manner."
The three lots which comprise the Charters Farm are adjacent to the Hildebrandt Farm, a property which fronts on Route 206 at Sandshore Road and is presently the township's only preserved farmland.
Recent township applications for Open Space Trust funding have yielded grants as large as $1.25 million for the B and H Realty property on Flanders Road, in 1998. That is still the largest single grant ever awarded by the Open Space Trust Fund.
Although a $500,000 trust grant was received in 1999 to assist the township purchase of Smith Farm, negotiations for the sale of the property have broken down. The 103-acre parcel, adjacent to Allamuchy State Park, now lies in the RR-AA five-acre zone.
The owners of Smith Farm have challenged the legality of the zoning in Superior Court, claiming that the township rezoned the property to lower its appraised worth and deprive the potential sellers of fair value for the land.

“The mother who takes pains to endow her children with good habits secures for herself smooth and easy days; while she who lets their habits take care of themselves has a weary life of endless friction with the children.”
Dear Mom of young children,
Do you realize the incredible power you have in your possession?
Well first, let’s get some things out of the way– there are certainly powers you DON’T have. You didn’t get to choose your child’s eye color, gender, or height. You can’t choose whether or not they’ll have a natural ear for music or a pitcher’s arm. You can’t decide what diseases they’ll get, or how long their life will be.
And, regarding eternal things: though you can pray and preach and plead, you can not control whether your child will follow Christ or not.
Please know: I am not advocating for a control-based, anxiety-riddled motherhood.
Nor am I preaching a message of formulaic motherhood, where you input ABC and can be assured to get out XYZ.
But as a mother, you CAN affect real change in a great many things in your child’s life. (Some of these may not be true, or may be more difficult if you have a child with physical or mental challenges, but these are all generally within reach for almost all children.)
- You can teach him to get healthy sleep.
- You can teach him to care for his teeth.
- You can teach him how to get himself dressed and choose season-appropriate clothing.
- You can teach him how to match clothes, and how to know when clothing is too small, tight, or old.
- You can teach him how to wisely select portion sizes, and food types.
- You can teach him how to take initiative and take on a work assignment.
- You can teach him to enjoy a variety of foods and not be picky or rude about food.
- You can teach him how to follow recipes and cook the things he likes.
- You can teach him how to do chores and easy fix-ups around the house.
- You can teach him to identify and appreciate different kinds and eras of music.
- You can teach him how to say his letters and numbers.
- You can teach him how to properly clean his bedroom floor, tidy the house, clean stains, and wash a car.
- You can teach him what it means to be diligent in his work.
- You can teach him how to make manual work easier (by occupying his mind while he works, by mentally listing out the benefits of the work he’s doing, by doing it more efficiently, etc.).
- You can teach him how to memorize verses, and even whole chapters and books of Scripture.
- You can teach him how to speak up and speak respectfully to adults.
- You can teach him how to muster up courage and tackle a problem and try to solve it.
- You can teach him how to soothe a baby, pet a puppy, and interact with an elderly woman.
- You can teach him how to take an interest in people who have completely different lives.
- You can teach him what you know about various countries, people groups, and languages.
Or, you can not do these things. Some or all of them can go undone. And none of us hit everything out of the park.
But realize, that by NOT teaching him some or all of these things, you are setting him up in a different way.
Proverbs says that, “the wise woman builds her house.” But many women fail to build their children according to what God calls valuable. Oh, their children are good at an extracurricular, excel at a sport or hobby, and they might have ribbons for first prize this or that… but:
- What is their character like?
- Are they respectful?
- Do they buckle down and work hard when asked to do so by an authority?
- Do they have a reverence for God?
- Will they be a net benefit, or a drag, in their future home/family?
- Are their habits built toward caring for others or caring for self?
- Do they possess self-control?
Point being, Mama, you have this window of time in which you have maximum influence and minimal barriers to affect change in the way your child approaches the world. There’s a reason why the saying goes,
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s mother knew this. Most women of her class had a full-time nanny. Though she was wealthy and could have easily done so, she was reportedly loathe to turn her young son over to anyone else’s care because she so strongly believed in the maternal influence over young children.
She knew that the formation of character that happens in the early years is no small matter.
It is perhaps easiest to see when we meet a friend who has been neglected in childhood. When we see the results of the lack of care… the lack of solid foundation for personhood, the lack of confidence that God is there… there is clear evidence for the importance of love when we see results that come from its absence.
Right now, you have this small window of time that’s been given to you…
- to imprint the world on your children, and help them see it from your perspective
- to frame up their vision of it so that they can understand and be discerning as they learn to live in it
- to live uprightly before them and let them see before their eyes that things like integrity, hard work, self-sacrifice, patience, self-control when angry…. that these things ARE possible.
You have this gift of time you’ve been given with them to show them the way of Christ– to live before them in such a way that you can say, like Paul, “follow me, as I follow Christ.”
That is done, initially through things like habits.
- I say, “pick up your blocks.” You say, “Ok mama.”
- I ask you to come to me; you come.
- We get up in the morning and we eat what is put in front of us with a thankful attitude.
- When we meet someone we look them in the eye and say, “hello,” “yes sir,” and “no sir.”
- When we visit with Great-Grandma, we listen politely, share a story with her, and don’t jump around or break her things.
And much of the work is done through the example we set.
- How we deal with it when a friend hurts our feelings– what we look like and sound like as we process through those emotions
- What tone and words we use when we speak to our spouse
- The affection, attention, and forgiveness we offer to one another in our home
- How often we talk about or read the Bible, the news, accomplishments, complaints, blessings, and disappointments.
- The ways we commit to things like church involvement, community clubs, and sporting events.
And later… as they get older…
you’ll realize, whether you took that time to build, or not, that the building phase is over… and you move into more of a coach role… and then perhaps a guide/advisor… and then a pray-er and an opinion-to-yourself-keeper. 😉
But for now, when you have little ones, view this season as a time of building.
- Build in faith… faith that God may do great things through these humans He’s given us charge of, for a season.
- Build with a purpose… considering the long-range goals you’re shooting for and working toward it.
- Build “line by line, precept by precept”— little by little, consistently, over time, is sooooo much better than a huge dose every once in a while. Seek to be faithful over time.
- Build as unto the Lord… trusting Him with your work. This is not a formula, and we don’t know what the end results will be! We strive for faithfulness because it is right, not because it guarantees an outcome.
Mama of little ones, stave off later regret. Do the work of building– steady, faithful building– right now in this tiring, busy, wonderful season of life God has put on your plate.
And remember– it’s not all on your shoulders– it’s on His. But as you take steps of faith, to be faithful with the influence He’s given you, God will help you. Take heart: He truly can bring eternal good from this weighty, daily work you are doing!
Grace & Peace,

What is Meant by Cross Multiplication?
In elementary arithmetic operation, to simplify the equation or to find the value of a variable, a process called “Cross Multiplication” is used. Cross multiplication is the process of multiplying the numerator of one side to the denominator of the other side, effectively crossing the terms over. In other words, cross multiplication is the process of removing the fractions from an equation by multiplying each side by a common multiple of the denominator of the fraction of both sides.
The standard form used to represent the cross-multiplication process is given below:
If an equation between two fractions is given in the form:
a/b = c/d
We can cross multiply to get the expression: ad = bc or a = bc/d
Frequently Asked Questions on Cross Multiplication Calculator

I was one of the mentors for the Miroma Bunbilla Program, a pre-entry pathway to the Joint Medical Program, designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. The program ran over 5 days and included problem-based and group-based learning, and assessment tasks through online study groups.
The program took place at various sites such as the University of Newcastle, University of New England, and the University Department of Rural Health. As part of the program, participants had the opportunity to meet staff from Thurru, the Indigenous Health Unit of the School of Medicine and Public Health, and confirm their preferred study location.
Such an amazing bunch and I can't wait to see them become deadly docs!

Poor swimmers, yet great at camouflage, sea dragons are an one- of- a- kind type of pipefish!
While their names may not advise it, sea dragons are fish that are truly poor swimmers that usually stray with the currents in contrast to offering the effort to swim. This regularly intense- tinted type of fish lives in the sea around Australia along with Tasmania. They depend upon their camouflage to secure them from predators along with make it with by eating little sufferer, such as little fish along with shellfishes– although they have no teeth.
5 Sea Dragon Truths
- The guy has an area near his tail where he brings the eggs the ladies lays.
- Simply 3 sort of sea dragons are identified, with the most recent one, the ruby sea dragon, having in fact been located in 2015.
- Sea dragons are hidden to take in with their environment.
- Sea dragons are meat- consuming fish.
- A male leafed sea dragon’s tail changes great yellow when he prepares to duplicate.
Sea Dragon Scientific Name
3 numerous sort of these dragons have in fact been figured out. The preliminary of these is the leafed sea dragon, Phycodurus eques Phycodurus stems from the Latin words “phyko,” suggesting algae, along with “oura,” suggesting tail. The term eques is from the Latin “equus,” suggesting horse.
The second type of sea dragon is the slim sea dragon, Phyllopteryx taeniolatus, similarly commonly called the regular sea dragon. The preliminary element of its scientific name stems from the Greek words for dropped leave, “phyhllon,” along with words for a fin or wing, “pteryx.” The second element of its name is based upon the Latin word “taeniolar,” suggesting bows.
Finally, the third well- well-known species of sea dragon is the ruby sea dragon, Phyllopteryx dewysea The preliminary element of its name corresponds as that of the weedy, or regular, sea dragon. The second element of its scientific name, dewysea, honors a very long time sea dragon supporter along with researcher, Mary “Dewy” Lowe, with words “sea” included because of her deep love of the sea.
Sea Dragon Appearance along with Activities
These animals are a sort of pipefish, with long, slim bodies along with tails. They similarly have camouflage to assist to secure them from predators As an instance, the leafed sea dragon’s body is covered with fallen leave- like appendages that assist it to hide in algae along with kelp. Its coloring is yellow to brown, with olive- tinted locations that consist of in its ability to hide in the undersea plants where it makes its house.
On the various other hand, the slim sea dragon has merely a number of appendages, yet these are merely adequate to divide its recap along with help it to take in with its environment. This fish usually makes it through on the sea floor covering in contrast to in algae along with kelp– with red coloring along with yellow locations or markings.
The ruby sea dragon is a crimson color with merely a number of incredibly brief, stump appendages. Extremely little is recognized concerning this sea dragon, yet scientists presume that its color helps to hide it in the much deeper water where it lives because of the reality that red is almost undetected in the middles of the sea.
All 3 sort of these animals tend to stray with the currents because of the reality that they are hollow swimmers. They hide along with delay on their sufferer, assaulting it when it acquires close to them in contrast to searching out their food. They do have little fins along their backs along with sides that they can make use of for propulsion, yet these practically undetected fins aren’t incredibly efficient along with are mainly made use of for taking care of along with slow-moving swimming. Neither the leafy neither the slim sea dragons have prehensile tails, suggesting they can not maintain branches or anything else with their tails, yet ruby sea dragons do have prehensile tails along with use them to preserve themselves in one location when they choose to do so.
Sea dragons hesitate, particular fish that do not live in significant organizations, though they have in fact been observed remaining in collections. Most of the minute, they wander quickly in the water without making any kind of kind of effort to control where they are going, looking much more like bits of algae than fish. Individuals vary substantially in dimension, yet all at once sea dragons can increase to 18 inches in dimension, a bit longer than the altitude of a bowling pin. Leafed sea dragons are smaller sized than slim sea dragons.
Sea Dragon Setting
These animals are simply found in the sea near Southern along with Western Australia along with around Tasmania. Typically, they live in the shallow, seaside waters, yet could be found at middles of roughly 150 feet. Ruby sea dragons have in fact been found remaining in much deeper water than the numerous other species, which could be why they were not located up till recently. All sea dragons live in or near algae, kelp timberlands, along harsh reef, or around seagrass beds, though they similarly regularly stray quickly around the sea plant.
Nonetheless, the similar- looking seahorse is even more widespread along with includes 46 recognized species.
Sea Dragon Diet
These animals are predators, yet are limited to what they can eat because of the reality that their mouths establish extensive tubes along with they do not have jaws that open. Sea dragons wait in hiding for their sufferer, assaulting along with eating any kind of kind of animals little adequate to match their mouths. They eat fish larvae, little shellfishes, incredibly little fish, sea lice, mysid shrimp, worms, along with zooplankton.
They consume their food whole because of the reality that they do not have operating jaws for consuming, plus they have no teeth. To capture their sufferer, they make use of efficient suction from their jaws that catches the patient. They must absorb whatever they eat as though they were eating it with a straw. Once it stays in their mouths the sea dragons can consume their sufferer whole.
Sea Dragon Predators along with Threats
It is unknown which, if any kind of kind of, predators these animals require to be terrified. Scientist presume that the sea dragons’ camouflage helps them to stop highlighting themselves, so they are not as much of a target as great deals of numerous other species. They are similarly instead bony, possibly making them a lot less appealing to predators than great deals of numerous other fish. Nonetheless, if a predative fish such as a shark finds them, it is still more than likely to make a meal of it thinking about that sea dragons have no defense with the exemption of their ability to hide. Almost anything will definitely absorb kids, as they do not have the camouflage of the grown-ups, plus they hatch out all at once, so they’re really simple for predators to situate. Extremely few of the young make it with to grow.
The significant risk to the continuous existence of these animals is the destruction of setting, mainly the loss of algae along with seagrass beds. This is caused by human job, especially contamination, along with adjustments created by worldwide warming. These animals have in fact similarly been collected by individuals to be preserved as aquarium pets, a job that seriously reduced the populace. In the 1990s, regulations were developed most of locations where sea dragons are found that protected them, along with currently, the populace appears instead protect. Sea dragons do commonly end up bound in angling web along with commonly die due to this, yet this does not generally get rid of large amounts of them.
The existing conservation status of these animals is near daunted (NT), according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The populace numbers for these animals show up suitable to maintain them in the wild presently, yet it is possible that can change if the loss of setting earnings.
Sea Dragon Leisure, Kid, along with Life span
Truly little is recognized concerning the reproducing regimens of these animals. They do turn up to have a courtship of some kind where the male approaches the woman when it is time to duplicate. It is unknown merely what triggers reproducing activities in them nonetheless. Nonetheless, it is believed males may battle numerous other males for the right to duplicate.
When the minute is right the ladies deposits her pink drive a squishy area of skin under the guy’s tail. He feeds them as they are moved. She will definitely lay anywhere from 100 to 300 eggs each time. The guy’s skin kinds little cups to hold the eggs ready, keeping them protect along with oxygenated up till they hatch out. This can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks, relying on the issues, especially water temperature degree. The warmer the water, the quicker the eggs will definitely hatch out. When a set has in fact developed, they will definitely stay with each various other up till the eggs are laid.
When the kids (similarly called fry) hatch, they appear like little variants of their mother and fathers, aside from that they do not have any kind of among the concealing appendages the grown-ups have. These start increasing right after birth, yet they will certainly refrain from doing the brand name- brand-new hatchlings any kind of kind of fantastic for at least a number of days. Since the guy’s job is done as rapidly as the kids hatch out, along with the woman has in fact left long in the past, the young get no therapy or expanded- up protection from the min they develop right into the world. The lack of both camouflage along with grown-up therapy makes the brand name- brand-new kids really simple targets for predators along with result in a high rate of fatality.
The life span of these animals is anywhere from 3 to one decade, with 6 being the normal age for them. They can duplicate when they are around a years old, yet it is a whole lot extra regular to wait to duplicate up till they are sexually totally expanded at pertaining to 2 years of ages.
Sea Dragon Populace
There has in fact never ever before been an accurate issue of the populace of these animals along with it is unknown the quantity of of them exist in the wild. The populace numbers seem holding constant in the meanwhile, though changing issues in the sea can alter that in the future. There is a special concern for these fish because of the reality that they occupy such a very little variety, so if their setting is damaged or harmed they are more than likely to die in contrast to transfer.

An alternative approach for disposal of high-level waste (HLW) is proposed. HLW would be separated into two fractions: (a) the high-heat radionuclides (HHRs), e.g., 90Sr and 137Cs, and (b) the low-heat radionuclides (LHRs), which are all the remaining radionuclides. These two categories of waste would be disposed of separately in different sections of the repository or different facilities.The LHRs in the HLW contain the long-lived radionuclides that control the repository performance requirements that in turn necessitate (a) expensive waste packages (WPs) and (b) limiting the repository temperatures to avoid repository performance degradation. To limit repository temperature, the amount of HLW per WP is limited and the WPs are spread over a large area. If the decay-heat-generating HHRs are removed from HLW, the repository design is not controlled by decay heat. The resultant LHR repository size (area, number of WPs, total tunnel length) may be reduced to <20% of the size of a conventional repository. With a waste partitioning and transmutation process that includes removal of the minor actinides (americium and curium) from the LHR wastes, significant further reductions in repository size are possible. The minor actinides are the next largest heat generators in LHR wastes.Separate management of HHRs does require (a) separation of the HHRs from the HLW and (b) a separate HHR disposal facility. The HHRs are disposed of in a separate lower-cost facility made possible by the limited lifetimes (T1/2 ~ 30 yr) of the HHRs. There are potentially significant gains in economics and repository performance for separate management of HHRs and LHRs in some types of fuel cycles.

Uber wants wings
Uber is getting some kind of lift off for its planned flying cars service. The ride-hailing giant has just cut a deal with NASA to get its craft airborne and is looking to launch test vehicles in Dallas and Los Angeles by 2020.
Uber still needs regulatory approval to get its wings and has partnered with NASA, which is looking to develop new traffic concepts for safe robotic flights.
In April this year, Uber allied with Aurora Flight Sciences to develop electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft for its Uber Elevate service – and Aurora has since been acquired by Boeing.
The car-ride company is looking to develop a fleet of small aircraft to provide aviation on-demand services, with Aurora slated to deliver 50 aircraft for testing by the 2020 deadline.
Also in the mix for Uber is Dubai where it wants to trial Uber Elevate. There it has some competition in the form of German start-up Volocopter, which has just completed a successful trial in Dubai with its Volocopter 2X autonomous aircraft.

Who pays the bill?
Men, usually on a first date, offer to pay the restaurant bill. If this goes on and on and on for many dates, though, it can become a huuuge problem. Not only finantial, but an attitude problem. In such cases, the lack of attitude from some ladies may end up on a very unhappy partner – even because many times the man actually wants to pay the check, but is also after some kind of worry coming from the woman. Mentioning the bill should be shared between both is often enough for the girls to show they care.
Sincerity, then, is really important so the situation doesn´t get worse. Men don´t like saying they have been having finantial problems (if that´s the case), and us women cannot guess all what´s going on in your world. So, please, talk to us! We are very comprehensive when it comes to that (if your partner isn´t, just tell her to get a job, she´s not enough for you).
Believe me, it is much easier when you share your trouble with the person beside you. Women also like buying you presents and surprising you sometimes, so let us do the tough work once in a while. What´s the big deal? We work, we get paid, we control our credit cards (in most cases, that is!), we can share it or pay for it entirely sometimes. Really. We can do it.
Of course we have extra items on our lists which shouldn´t be left aside – such as manicures, hairdressers, make-up and hygiene products, not to mention our birth control. You need a happy, well cared for girlfriend, after all! So I believe the best thing to do is to have a nice, decent talk and agree on what each of you will be paying from now on. Say you pay the electricity bill and she pays the supermarket bills, you pay the rent and she pays your car insurance. I don´t know, it works differently for every couple, that is why I am telling you to sit, open a bottle of wine and talk openly between you both. See what works and what doesn´t. Maybe you pay the bill today and she pays it the next time you go out for dinner. Maybe she pays for the movie tickets and you buy the popcorn and soda. I haven´t a clue. Just TALK and get to an agreement!
Do not let things happen until you cannot control them anymore. It is very hard to try and change something that has been going on the same way for some time. Change it now, don´t wait it until you can´t handle it anymore. Do not put your relationship at risk for something so silly. Promise, pleeease?
