What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a common group of chronic metabolic diseases that cause high blood sugar (glucose) levels in the body due to defects in insulin production or function. Diabetes is also known as diabetes mellitus to distinguish it from a relatively rare metabolic disorder called diabetes insipidus that doesn't affect blood sugar. Symptoms of diabetes occur when a lack of insulin or insulin resistance stops glucose from entering the cells and fueling and energizing the body. The resulting spike in glucose can result in symptoms such as increased hunger and thirst, weight loss, fatigue, and frequent infections. Long-term complications include kidney failure, nerve damage, and blindness.

Getting Started
When I was in my early 20s, I quit my job as a fashion illustrator in New York City, moved to Miami, and soon became a model agent. Basically, an agent's job is to discover and groom models. I guess I had a knack for it, because after two years, I was hired to work at one of the top agencies in town. We represent about 100 girls and 30 guys (stars and up-and-comers), and of the 200 or so pictures I receive each day from aspiring models around the world, I call about two a month. If I truly believe the guy or girl could be the next big thing, the agency will fly them in and arrange a professional photo shoot.
But I've discovered some of the best models when I wasn't even looking. Once I was eating at an outdoor restaurant and spotted this tall, beautiful 13-year-old girl walk by with her parents and some friends. I pulled the girl and her mom aside and explained that she had the potential to be a great model, and they could come in to the agency and talk to us (I say us so people don't think I'm some random creep) if they were interested. Another time, I was at the beach and noticed that a male lifeguard was gorgeous. Both of those finds are going to be successful I just know it.

(Author's Note: Much of the information in this series is based on the practical knowledge of real-world lubrication professionals. Once such expert is Mark Kavanaugh, who has over 42 years of experience in large manufacturing operations, and is currently responsible for coordinating the lubrication of thousands of pieces of rotating equipment in a refinery. Mark is certified as a CLS, MTL I and MLA II.)
This final part of a year-long series explores fans from the perspective of lubricant selection and application, and techniques for enhancing equipment reliability. The focus will be on these three fan-system types:
1. Heater fans that provide air in the heating of process streams (i.e., heating crude oil in refining processes).
2. Fin fans that cool processes by removing heat from process fluids.
3. Cooling-tower "fan" systems that transfer process-waste heat to ambient air.
Heater fans
Air must be introduced into high-temperature heaters for the combustion of natural gas that provides heat to the fluid in heat-exchanger tubes. The fan supplies that air in one of two ways: forced draft (where the air is introduced directly into the heater); and induced, where air is pulled into the heater through a venturi effect. In some cases, both a forced and induced fan is used. Referred to as "balancing," this method requires less energy from the fan. That's because bearings on the induced blower will run hotter than those of the forced blower.
A heater fan resembles a large paddle wheel—and functions like the impeller in a large centrifugal compressor. It's connected to an electric motor on one side and a steam turbine on the other side. The electric motor is the primary driver; the turbine is the backup. The speed controller on the turbine is set at 200 RPM lower than the running speed of the motor. In the event of a power failure or if the motor slows down by 200 RPM, the turbine becomes the primary driver and there is no loss of air flow to the heater. Large turbines are stepped down from 3600 RPM, with a gearbox to run fans at up to 1800 RPM.
Heater-fan lubrication…
The lubricated components in a heater-fan system include the fan itself and the motor and turbine bearings.
Large, slow-speed fans (which have large pillow-block journal bearings) are lubricated with ISO 150 mineral or synthetic PAO oil. Smaller, higher-speed fans (which have pillow-block cylindrical roller or journal bearings) are lubricated with ISO 68 mineral or synthetic PAO oil. The electric motors in these fans usually operate in the 1800 RPM range. Smaller motors are sealed for life. Larger motors (> 75 hp) are lubricated with ISO 68 mineral oil by way of a bath with oil rings. Steam turbines with step-down gears are typically lubricated via circulating systems with ISO 68 mineral oil. When turbine-bearing temperatures are high, PAO synthetic oil is preferable. The bearings and gears are lubricated with the same oil.
Troubleshooting heater fans…
Heater-fan and electric-motor bearings with circulating systems or oil-bath lubrication are excellent candidates for oil-mist lubrication. The positive bearing housing pressures of these mist systems greatly reduce the ingression of particle and water contamination. All bearing temperatures, no matter how they are lubricated, should be monitored daily: Increased temperature is usually a first sign of trouble. On circulating systems, reservoir water should be drained and the oil-cooler inlet and outlet temperatures should be checked daily. Oil and grease levels should be checked at least weekly—if not daily.
Ultrasonic monitoring is the preferred method when it comes to adding the right amount of grease to a bearing. Oil-bath-lubricated pillow-block fan and electric-motor bearings with constant-level oilers usually contain only a quart or two of oil in their housings. It's wise to drain approximately one-tenth of this amount once a month. This does three important things: 1) Water, debris or wear metal collected in the bottom of the housing will be removed and can be inspected. 2) The constant-level oiler should activate, proving that it is working and its pathway to the bearing is open. 3) Once the oiler activates, the oil level is returned to its preset height with fresh oil.
Increased fan vibration can be traced to a number of causes: The two most common are loose fasteners (i.e., foundation bolts, bearing housing capscrews, etc.); and buildup of debris on the impeller from unfiltered air that leads to an imbalance. The fan may have to be water-washed to remove this debris and the balance rechecked.
Fin fans
Fin fans are used in a large number of fluid-cooling applications. The main advantage over cooling with water is that they can be used in plants that aren't near a supply of cooling water. These fan systems can be very large (i.e., those that cool the turbines in a power-gen facility) or very small (i.e., units that cool car radiators). A bank of fin-fan heat exchangers is shown in Fig. 1 (pg. 10). Representative of the most common type of fin fan, axial-flow, propeller-driven units like these can range in size from three to 60 feet in diameter and incorporate two to 20 blades.
Fig. 1. Axial-flow, propeller-driven heat exchangers like these represent the most common type of fin fans.
A fin fan cools by way of a tube bundle—an assembly of tubes, headers, side frames and tube supports. The fins on the tube surface exposed to the air essentially create an extended surface that provides better heat transfer. There are two basic arrangements for air distribution based on the fan location: forced draft when the fan is located below the tube bundle and air is forced over the tubes; and induced flow when the fan is located above the bundle and air is pulled over the tubes. There are advantages and disadvantages to both types.
In most cases, induced-draft fan advantages outweigh the disadvantages, including better distribution of air across the bundle and greater process control. Among their disadvantages, induced-draft units are typically less accessible for maintenance; fan blades and bearings are exposed to high effluent air temperatures; and the finned tubes are exposed to sun and rain.
Fin fans can be driven by a number of sources, with electric motors being the most common. The most popular speed reducer is the high-torque positive belt-drive used with motors up to 60 hp and fans up to 18 feet in diameter. Gear drives are used for very large electric motors and fan diameters. Two types of bearings are normally used: deep-groove ball bearings with small systems; and spherical roller bearings in pillow-block housings with larger systems.
Fin-fan lubrication…
Motor and shaft bearings in fin fans are normally grease-lubricated. Plants that use pure oil-mist lubrication with their pumps and motors now have the option of using it in the lubrication of their fin-fan and motor bearings. In the past, attempts to use oil mist for fan bearings led to housekeeping issues due to escaping mist. A recently introduced system, however, is capable of capturing the excess/stray mist, thus resolving the housekeeping problem. In addition, a new mist-lubricated motor design has been developed for fin-fan applications. Pure-mist lubrication of this new motor eliminates concerns associated with greasing in a difficult environment and—very importantly—assures that the lubricant will be applied properly. The result is extended bearing life. The bearings can be lubricated with either an ISO 220 R&O or PAO synthetic oil.
There are a number of options for the type of grease used on fin-fan bearings. The most effective are synthetic-based greases—with the most common incorporating an NLGI 2 lithium complex thickener with an ISO 220 PAO synthetic lubricant. In some cases, because of the high torque experienced with belt drives, an NLGI 2 thickener with an ISO 460 PAO synthetic lubricant is recommended. Mineral-oil-based greases with both lithium and polyurea thickeners are also used. The most common grease for electric motors is a polyurea thickener with an ISO ~ 100 mineral oil.
Remember: The application of a lubricant is as important as the selection of the right grease type. The following are options for greasing bearings:
Troubleshooting fin fans…
Automated grease systems, proper sheave alignment and correct belt tension are the keys to long fin-fan life. Constant regreasing via an automated system prevents water and particle intrusion into the bearings. These systems should be inspected quarterly to ensure that they're functioning as designed, lubricating at the correct rates and not leaking.
Cooling-tower fan systems
Industrial cooling towers remove heat absorbed by water in circulating systems and transfer it to the atmosphere. Power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical facilities and natural-gas operations are large users of cooling water, as are many food processors. The two major cooling-tower manufacturers are Marley and Amarillo.
Fig. 2. Gearboxes in cooling towers are typically single- or double-reduction units, with right-angle spiral-bevel or right-angle helical gears. (Courtesy: Colfax Corp.)
Cooling-tower fan-system lubrication…
The main lubricated components in a cooling-tower system are the gearbox and electric-motor driver. The gearboxes are typically single- or double-reduction units (as shown in Fig. 2), with are spiral-bevel or helical right-angle gears. The spiral-bevel design features intersecting shafts; the shafts in the helical design are non-intersecting.
The bearings in these gearboxes are roller types. Tapered roller bearings are used to handle both radial and thrust loads. Cylindrical bearings set an an angle to handle radial and thrust loads can also be used, as can bearing types based on the gearbox OEM.
Gears and bearings in cooling-tower systems operate in extremely difficult environments—marked by high moisture content, high-temperatures and high risk of particulate contamination. This makes changing oil and monitoring oil condition quite challenging.
Electric-motor bearings are typically greased manually every six to 12 months. While the grease of choice is a polyurea with an ISO 100 mineral oil, a lithium complex thickener with PAO base oil can also be used. Be advised that oil selection differs between Marley and Amarillo cooling towers. Both require non-EP oils. Marley, though, recommends an ISO 150, while Amarillo requires an ISO 220. Some users consolidate for both OEM's gearboxes and use ISO 220 oil. Because of the high-temperature/high-moisture conditions in cooling towers, synthetics are recommended (for the important degree of oil/water separation they provide). PAOs also provide good lubricity for protection of gears without using EP. (The oxidative life of a PAO is far superior to a mineral oil.) Cooling-tower OEMs recommend oil changes every six months—and also recommend, with the use of synthetics, that changeouts be based on oil condition. Synthetic oils have been known to last in excess of three years.
Splash lubrication is used for cooling-tower gearbox systems, along with an oversized slinger on the input shaft that provides oil to the bearings by way of channels and baffles. Some double-reduction systems can be supplied with a pump for better oil distribution.
Facilities with oil-mist systems may want to consider using purge-mist in their cooling-tower gearboxes to keep out contaminants (especially water). To prevent corrosion, cooling towers that sit idle over winter months can be protected with mist lubrication to coat thier internal surfaces. Desiccant breathers are another way to minimize water-vapor intrusion in this equipment.
It goes without saying that it's tough to add oil and sample from a gearbox surrounded by a shroud. Some operations, therefore, choose to run cooling-tower gearboxes to failure without an oil-condition-monitoring system. At a minimum, a sight glass should be installed outside the shroud to monitor oil levels.
Some plants use filter carts on a semi-annual basis to sample and clean cooling-tower oil (an approach that calls for the help of a crane). Use of the drain line outside the shroud to collect samples requires draining at least two gallons of oil, depending on the size of the line. Oil is drained of water until warm oil flows. After proper purging, a sample is collected and the purged oil is returned to the gearbox.
Another method involves installing an off-line pipe circulation system from the gearbox to outside the cooling tower shroud to connect the fill and drain lines. A pump can then be used to sample the gearboxes.
The ability to clean and monitor the oil will contribute to longer gearbox life. For condition of the oil and the gearbox, oil analysis should be performed—preferably on a quarterly basis or, at a minimum, semiannually. The recommended tests include:
An effective oil-analysis program will optimize change intervals and identify potential equipment problems at an early stage, thus helping prevent unexpected failures. As with other equipment, clean oil can go a long way toward enhancing gearbox life. Consider the experience of one major steam-turbine power generation plant that installed an offline filter circulation system to remove particles and moisture from its cooling-tower gearboxes. The system also allowed the plant—for the first time—to collect oil-analysis samples. This analysis verified the effectiveness of the offline filtration system and led to longer equipment life.
The above options reflect just a few ways ways to lubricate and monitor cooling-tower fan systems. Many innovative end-users have developed their own effective approaches. Be on the lookout for such strategies.
Troubleshooting cooling-tower systems. . .
By design, cooling towers can have very long driveshafts between motor and gearbox. Precise alignment of driveshaft couplings is a must for long service life.
Cooling towers made of wood are not as structurally sound as their metal or plastic counterparts. All types of fasteners—nails, capscrews, mounting bolts, etc.—will loosen over time. If a fan picks up an increase in vibration, check its fasteners first.
Newer towers have solid composite plastic fan blades. Older towers may have hollow sheet metal blades with weep holes in the end of each blade to expel condensed water. If these holes become plugged, trapped water will cause severe imbalance and harsh vibration.
Gearbox vent lines should be run to the outside of the fan shroud and have desiccant breathers installed to reduce ingressed water.
As mentioned previously, cooling-tower oil changes, top-offs and routine analyses aren't easy. Adding a circulating system with offline filtration and sample ports—or nothing more than a header system to assist with drains and top-offs—can dramatically increase gearbox life.
Process fans represent critical systems with specific lubrication and troubleshooting issues. Recommendations in this article are just that: recommendations. Always adhere to OEM guidelines regarding lubricant selection and to guidelines from your lubricant supplier regarding correct application. LMT

It's like an extra treat when I order my full-size products! I love them.. and let's be honest, who can place an order without getting to the $35 benchmark.. Ladies, everyone should add on this little treat!
This product never arrived as it was ordered. It was actually a huge disappointment. Birchbox did offer extra bonus points for the mixup, but it was still disappointing to not receive the products.
Fun to get free samples with my order and always encourages me to try new things. I stick them in my travel kit!
It's like getting half a box, and the samples are fantastic. Really glad I purchased this, and I will be sure to pick up another again soon!
I enjoyed getting these little mystery packets. They are great sizes. They have enough product in them for a few days, so you can get an actual opinion about the product. The products have always been something fun, new, and useful. I have never received a sample that I disliked or could not/ would not use. Such a fun little gift!!
Who doesn't love a few extra samples and to have them be a mystery on top of it, can't ask for better. These were actually great samples that were even matched my box subscription.
who doesn't love a fun surprise in their goodies that are being shipped from birchbox! i love seeing what they are going to ship me each time and trying something new
This is a nice little perk if you remember, I wish Birch box would remind you at checkout :) the samples themselves are consistent with what you get in the box
Like getting the chance to sample a product before you purchase a full size. Its a nice little gift to give yourself, or throw in a box for shipping on birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day or just for the heck of it, hand it to a friend
love the sample packs BirchBox offers with a $35+ purchase. It's so easy to hit that number, and then of course when I try the (deluxe) samples, I usually wind up buying full sizes of those too! I travel often, so these are so handy to throw in my bag and keep within TSA regulations. Keep the good samples coming! However, I am noticing at the current moment that there are no sample packs offered. I'm waiting to place my order until these are back...

Welcome to Philadelphia, the city that gave us the Declaration of Independence, the Liberty Bell, Grace Kelly, and the Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich. Join this tour as you are driven you through the perfectly laid out streets that were established when the city was founded in 1682. See where George Washington served most of his presidency (Philadelphia was the nation's capital for ten years at the end of the 18th century). See where the nation's first flag was probably sewn by Betsy Ross.
Climb up the Rocky Steps in front of the Museum of Art in the footsteps of Sylvester Stallone; visit the new-age shops along South Street; see the animals in America's very first zoo; see the site of where Benjamin Franklin lived; and take in the sheer beauty of America's largest urban park, Fairmount Park, which straddles the Schuylkill River and the Wissahickon Creek for ten miles.
Philadelphia is the nation's most historical city but it offers so much more with its flourishing arts scene, many great restaurants, and more than anything, its friendly people. Philadelphia means "the City of Brotherly Love" in Greek, and that's exactly what it is.

Congratulations to Kevin Manion, Jamie McMurray and the No. 1 team on winning the 2010 Daytona 500.
Jamie McMurray Wins The 52nd Running Of The Daytona 500
Earnhardt Ganassi PR
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 14, 2010) - Jamie McMurray held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. during a second attempt at a green-white-checkered flag finish to win the 52nd running of the Daytona 500 for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates in the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats Chevrolet. The win came in McMurray's first race back with owners Chip Ganassi and Felix Sabates, making Ganassi the only team owner besides Roger Penske to win the Daytona 500, the Indy 500 and the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Sunday's race was long, lasting over six hours, with two red flag delays lasting two and a half hours to repair a pothole in the asphalt between turns one and two and two attempts at a green-white-checkered flag finish. McMurray spun his tires on the restart on Lap 207 but got a push down the front stretch and through the first turn from third-place finisher Greg Biffle. Securing the top spot from Kevin Harvick on the backstretch, McMurray led the final two laps.
The win delivered Chevrolet its 21st victory in the Daytona 500, a record among manufacturers.

Artists for One Billion Rising, India
One Billion Rising, the global campaign whose creativity, energy and vision spurred the participation of almost every country in world, saw the people of India also rise to join the movement.
V-day, a global activist movement founded by Eve Ensler (author of The Vagina Monologues), was created with the intent of ending violence against women and girls. V-day celebrated its 15th anniversary on February 14, 2013. To mark 15 years of struggle against violence, they sounded a global call to action – One Billion Rising. UN statistics say that one in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime; that makes one billion women worldwide. V-day chose Valentine's Day 2013 to call on these one billion women and those who love them to Strike, Dance and Rise; to walk out of their jobs, schools and homes, take to the streets and dance.
"Dance is dangerous, joyous, sexual, holy, disruptive, contagious, it breaks the rules. It can happen anywhere, anytime, with anyone and everyone, and it's free. Dancing insists we take up space, we go there together in community. Dance joins us and pushes us to go further." Calling it a creative, non-hostile, inclusive expression of solidarity, a refusal to accept the status-quo of rape culture, Eve Ensler asked women to reclaim their space in the world through dance. "One billion women violated is an atrocity. One billion women dancing is a revolution."
A video series, "I Am Rising", featuring celebrities like Anoushka Shankar, Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, was featured on the Guardian in the run up to the event. People from around the world took the cue, sharing videos and photos depicting their reason to rise. Flash mobs danced to the theme song, Break the Chains, in many cities around the world.
Attending the event in Bangalore was moving on many levels: the huge turnout on a weekday afternoon, the support of the city police cordoning off roads and diverting traffic to create space for the dancers, people from different classes mixing together and dancing unrestrained, the presence of senior citizens lending support across generations, the participation of men, speaking out and dancing as enthusiastically as the women. The afternoon's events included dance, singing, artists painting in the park, poetry, story-telling, drumming and zumba. As part of building awareness for the campaign, we emailed young artists from different parts of the country, asking them to illustrate for the movement. What we got in return was a response overwhelming in both generosity and creativity. From Delhi to Pondicherry, illustrations and posters poured in. The power that art holds, to reach people, to inspire and move them to action is a story witnessed many times over; we watched the support grow and the conversations gain momentum as these beautiful images were shared widely in online spaces.
Many thanks are due, to the people who helped organize the event and more importantly, to all the people who went back home and initiated conversations in their circles. That simplest, most effective first step at changing a mindset can also be the hardest and most daunting. So thank you, if you have. | Anisha Rachel Oommen.
