Stuck in the Middle With You

I don’t know how families make it these days. Exactly what yearly salary does it take to live comfortably for a family of 4? To afford a reasonable house, afford a reasonable vehicle or 2, eat relatively healthy, be reasonably insured, and enjoy a reasonable amount of daily life?

 

I find myself chasing the elusive dollar. As soon as I get some, it’s gone. I work harder for more. As soon as I get it, gone again. I feel guilty because I’m a working parent. Albeit part time. Then I feel guilty that I don’t work enough. Albeit part time.

 

I have worked fulltime and our financial picture didn’t significantly change. We ate out more because I was too tired from working. We were all bloated from too much fast food, and depressed from being on task 24/7 with no down time and gained 15 pounds.  I’ve not worked at all and our financial picture didn’t significantly change either. We didn’t eat out as much. We were all depressed that we couldn’t eat bad food, had too much time on our hands and we ate too much homemade food out of boredom. The weight stayed on.

 

What is the goal? Is the goal to be home and broke but together? Or is the goal to chase the dollar and be too exhausted to enjoy it? How do we “In the Middle” make it?

 
 
   
 

Disposal of the Remains
I have one friend with whom I might discuss my death (or his) as a very present reality. I have perhaps four, and another nine acquaintances or so, with whom I can discuss it as a someday-reality. There is reason for this, and it's not just how close that first friendship is, or how in- or out- of touch with reality people are.

Same thing with Cheryl. The three of us could laugh about death fine, until we learned that her time was a lot shorter. Her death was actually in this reality. And then nobody talked about it.

Frankly, people just don't want to talk about death. Not that close, not that real. If it's happening to somebody else, if it's happening years from now, if it's not going to happen here. We don't really know how to deal with death. I suspect that this is a cultural thing. It's almost like a civilian/soldier thing. Certain people have access to seeing death. Roadkill is an accident, and you still feel bad. Meat arrives drained, pre-packaged. The body is cleaned up and prepared for the funeral.

Maybe in a culture where death doesn't take place out of sight, you don't talk about death as much for the other reason. It happens all the time. What's to talk about?

So, at a wedding, of all places (actually, the reception), my friend Micro-Psycho and I were discussing what we want done with our bodies. And, after years of deliberation, I have come to the following conclusion.

"Take whatever organs you want, chuck whatever's left in the ocean for the fish, and weigh it down with something biodegradable so it doesn't come floating up later and traumatize some poor kid at the beach."

I don't mind if they want to make a rock or something, but the whole encased-in-steel business is really a bit much. I'm not there anymore, I don't really give a rip what happens, and I think my empty casing is a stupid reason to put more junk in the ground. Pick something basic that's not going to do any more damage to the world than it possibly needs to, and forget about it! Go have a party!

Oh yeah, that's another thing. You can try mourning me if you want, but honestly, you know that I'd rather celebrate than anything else. I'm home! And I hopefully did some things in life that made the world better and made you smile a time or two! Go party! If I have some time and I know it's coming, I will try to put together a playlist of favorite tunes, otherwise, ask my little sister for the weird stuff! But have fun! Christians dying isn't actually a tragedy - just means the assignment's completed, or handed off, or something. We don't come home until God says we're done.

Micro-Psycho, in contrast, had a response both crude and culturally frightening.

The United States to abandon the development of new battery technology allows cell phone powered by sound waves

According to foreign media reports, Imagine has a self-powered mobile phone that how good it will never have to charge and can keep the phones running without VGP-BPS9A/B VGP-BPS9/B. This is not fantasy, but the U.S. University of Texas professor Kim Tai Xika a recent invention. This invention allows mobile phone users to speak into the energy generated by sound waves, providing use of mobile phones, enabling mobile phones used instead of power.

Self-powered mobile phones could be sound waves into electrical energy

Cajun working on nanotechnology, through the use of the so-called piezoelectric materials, he developed a self-powered device, which does not require batteries that can replace the power supply category of Lifebook T4220 battery Fujitsu fpcbp155. In particular, card payments and a partner University of Houston have found some kind of voltage is less than a nanometer-thick body of material under the micro-size of the converted energy can be 100%. Moreover, when this material larger than this specific size or more hours, their energy conversion rate declined significantly. His findings, published in the fall of the American Institute of Physics scientific journal "Physical Review". This discovery will develop low-power electronics products have far-reaching significance, this can be developed from I-powered mobile phones without pavilion ZV6000 battery Aspire 3000 battery, laptops, personal communication devices, and numerous other computer-related electronics products.

Many high-tech products of the components are nano-level. Although the invention of Cajun small, but significant influence. He found that will enable small and easy to extend the service life of wireless products without HP PB995A. Because, MP3 and cell phone, the laptop battery life is a major problem, if you want to expand their capabilities, then they need to have a more powerful battery to support. And convenient self-powered device will resolve this problem, which is several federal agencies interested in the reasons for such devices. In fact, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been studying the field the soldiers how to use their conversation to obtain the energy to power their portable equipment. In addition, the sensors used to detect explosives, would greatly benefit from self-powered technology, can reduce the trouble of testing and replacement of the battery.

Cajun explained that the key to this technology is the piezoelectric body. Is a class of piezoelectric crystals are very interesting, when you squeeze or stretch it, it will produce different ends of the charge of Pavilon DV9000 battery. This effect is called piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric effect can produce a crystal is called piezoelectric crystals. Crystal quartz is a well-known piezoelectric crystals. Piezoelectric body is not a new concept, in fact, as early as in the first century BC was the French scientist discovered. Was first used in piezoelectric sonar equipment during World War.

Now, equipped with a piezoelectric crystal element of the apparatus so that technical staff research the steam engine, internal combustion engines and all kinds of chemical equipment in the pressure changes become a reality with this XPS m140 BATTERY. The use of piezoelectric crystals can be measured or even the pressure of fluids in pipes, guns, firing shells in the barrel when the pressure of the bomb exploded when the instantaneous pressure. In addition, the piezoelectric crystal is also widely used in the microphone and quartz table. Even the car ignition also has piezoelectric crystal. Click on the button will cause the ignition of piezoelectric crystals generate impact of Inspiron 640m battery, thereby generating sufficient voltage to produce sparks and ignite fuel.

On major applications, a number of European dance floors of nightclubs and dance halls was built by the piezoelectric crystal can absorb and convert XPS M1730 battery energy to generate electricity footsteps as a way to light bulbs inside the nightclub. According to reports, the Hong Kong Coliseum is an athlete using this technology to the Pavilon DV8000 battery energy conversion into electrical energy as a means of lighting and play music. Cajun said that the application of piezoelectric crystal will be a higher level, especially when the nano-scale emergence of the piezoelectric crystal, after the application of this technology will become more widespread.

Do not charge mobile phone battery too long time

Do not charge mobile phone battery too long time

Because of improper use of this small a laptop battery as a "time bomb" could explode at any time.

There are many types of cells, according to their nature of work can be divided into a battery (primary batteries), rechargeable batteries (rechargeable batteries). Disposable primary battery can not re-use, multi-mercury, including the carbon-zinc batteries, alkaline batteries, zinc-manganese batteries. Rechargeable batteries can be reused, the common are nickel-cadmium batteries, lithium rechargeable batteries. "Because cells contain large quantities of chemical substances in use, pay special attention to safety." In particular, the following practices are best avoided.

A long time to charge the phone. Cell phone laptop batteries are mostly Li-ion battery. Most people want the phone to standby longer, so he deliberately charging an extension of time, such as work began to charge home, go to bed have shown that full power, still need further charge on the night and the next morning before unplugging . But in fact, if the battery is full, to continue charging the higher the temperature continues, the battery is not in the resistance of the long-term drop off, the battery itself, heat aging can also occur at the same time, some may even be counterfeit batteries or battery (A1175 A1079) leakage explosion phenomenon.

The correct way is the third new Latitude D610 battery before the charge required to more than 12 hours, so that the battery to fully activate the batteries. After charging according to battery type and capacity of different charging time is about 1.5-6 hours, indicating the battery is already full of 1 hour charge can be added, so that both sufficient and would not damage the battery. To not more than 24 hours.

Then when the notebook computer power does not win the battery. The number of Apple Powerbook G4 battery charge is limited, on one charge, the battery on to the "retired" step forward. Recommended to make use of an external power supply, use an external power supply when the battery removed. If you plug the power several times in the day, and the notebook computer equipped with a battery, this will damage the battery more. Because each access to external power supply is equivalent to the battery charge time, battery life shortened by a naturally.

Repeated use of disposable alkaline batteries. Disposable batteries run out or throw, do not re-use or as a rechargeable Latitude D620 battery to use it. This is very likely to use or charge at a number of gas pressure generated in the process, so that the battery swelling. When the gas pressure is too large when the row did not come out, the battery may be a result of chemical reaction caused by fire or explosion.

To be able to charge the new alkaline batteries with rechargeable batteries and old. Old and new Pavilion DV2000 battery because of their life not the same, the capacity to accept are not the same and therefore I put together charging, the small capacity of the old battery is fully charged, the need to wait until after the high-capacity battery is full will stop. In this waiting process, the battery itself was filled with electricity, there is still current flows through, it's like in the expansion of charge. Once the excessive charging, the battery itself will heat expansion, destruction of the battery protection circuit may cause fire or explosion.

When charging the battery, be sure to use a dedicated charger original, otherwise they will be models inconsistent probably can not be recharged into electricity, or in the process of charging, resulting in leakage of the situation, over time will damage the VGP-BPS2C VGP-BPS2 VGP-BPS5 VGP-BPS2A battery's protection circuit, resulting in the battery explosion or other dangerous incidents.

A limited number of rechargeable batteries, if found to rapidly heat the battery, indicating the effectiveness gradually decreased and should be replaced immediately

Accumulator is no longer pollute the environment Kinds of new acid-free batteries - lead-oxide lapto

Accumulator is no longer pollute the environment

Kinds of new acid-free batteries - lead-oxide laptop batteries through the national authority before testing, all targets were met or exceeded the national standard. This means that 150-year-old battery technology was a revolutionary breakthrough, making the traditional lead-acid batteries polluting industries into a zero-pollution environment-friendly industries possible.

Lead-oxygen battery is the invention of two brothers - West Cong Zhang, Zhang Sai-wen, who under the leadership of Shaanxi and the Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. After more than six years of research, finally reaction mechanism of electrolyte in the Dell laptop battery research breakthrough and the preparation of a compound salts out of aqueous solution of diluted sulfuric acid aqueous solution instead of the traditional.

Was responsible for this testing is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Institute of Chemical Physics Power Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, was recognized as authoritative testing organizations within the industry.

According to reports, the submission of the three kinds of laptop batteries are the product under the conditions of industrial production (non-laboratory products). They are the cars to start batteries, electric bicycles and electric vehicles power battery special battery, application fields and market prospect is very broad.

According to experts, currently used batteries generally can be divided into a dry (normal batteries), secondary HP laptop battery (rechargeable batteries, mainly used in mobile phones, computers), lead-acid batteries (mainly used in automobile, electric vehicles) the three class. With regard to the battery pollution, the masses are most concerned about reports the most ordinary Apple laptop battery. In fact, the production process is now common dry batteries without adding cadmium, lead, arsenic and other substances are no longer become a serious source of pollution. On the contrary, a large number of car battery, lead-acid batteries used in electric vehicles because they contain lead and sulfuric acid, but rather rubbish dump, one of the most dangerous items.

It is understood that corrosion of lead-acid battery lead after the spill of heavy metals and acids will not only seriously polluted soil and water, air and the environment, ecological balance can also cause damage, but also trigger the body metabolism, reproductive and neurological aspects of the disease the Dell Inspiron e1505 Batterybattery , the body of lead Once the excessive levels, it will lead to mental decline, but also easy to induce malignant tumors of children, and even lead to death.

Compared with the traditional lead-acid Toshiba PA3399U-2BRS batteries, lead batteries of oxygen greatly reduced pollution of the environment. Of Environmental Science and Engineering, Nankai University, Dean Zhou Xing, said lead-acid batteries of the solid, gaseous pollution can be eliminated, but can not avoid the water-soluble heavy metal ions of lead pollution. Lead-oxygen IBM laptop battery although the production process and lead-acid battery production process the same, but thanks to a salt water solution instead of sulfuric acid and lead ion concentration is very low, almost no emissions, greatly reducing the risk of lead contamination.

In addition, the lead-oxygen Latitude D620 battery for the replacement of sulfuric acid complex salts and additives can make use of iron and steel enterprises discharge waste from a coal-based chemical synthesis to obtain a simple to solve a number of steel companies can not handle the cost of treatment may need to spend a lot of pollution emissions.

Chang brothers have been lead-oxygen Dell Inspiron 1300 battery in three Chinese national patent. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Electronic Science and Technology Information Institute points (Science and Technology Novelty Search) shows that the world there is no similar technology.

Zhou Xing believes that the world faces an energy and environmental crisis, the advent of lead-oxygen battery of great significance and far-reaching.
