Functional Characterization of Chitin and Chitosan
Inmaculada Aranaz, Marian Mengíbar, Ruth Harris, Inés Paños, Beatriz Miralles, Niuris Acosta, Gemma Galed and Ángeles Heras* Department of Physical Chemistry II, Faculty of Pharmacy, Institute of Biofunctional Studies, Complutense University, Paseo Juan XXIII, nº 1. Madrid 28040, Spain Abstract: Chitin and its deacetylated derivative chitosan are natural polymers composed of randomly distributed -(1-4)linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). Chitin is insoluble in aqueous media while chitosan is soluble in acidic conditions due to the free protonable amino groups present in the D-glucosamine units. Due to their natural origin, both chitin and chitosan can not be defined as a unique chemical structure but as a family of polymers which present a high variability in their chemical and physical properties. This variability is related not only to the origin of the samples but also to their method of preparation. Chitin and chitosan are used in fields as different as food, biomedicine and agriculture, among others. The success of chitin and chitosan in each of these specific applications is directly related to deep research into their physicochemical properties. In recent years, several reviews covering different aspects of the applications of chitin and chitosan have been published. However, these reviews have not taken into account the key role of the physicochemical properties of chitin and chitosan in their possible applications. The aim of this review is to highlight the relationship between the physicochemical properties of the polymers and their behaviour. A functional characterization of chitin and chitosan regarding some biological properties and some specific applications (drug delivery, tissue engineering, functional food, food preservative, biocatalyst immobilization, wastewater treatment, molecular imprinting and metal nanocomposites) is presented. The molecular mechanism of the biological properties such as biocompatibility, mucoadhesion, permeation enhancing effect, anticholesterolemic, and antimicrobial has been updated.
Keywords: Chitin, chitosan, molecular weight, deacetylation degree, crystallinity, functional characterization. 1. INTRODUCTION Among the novel families of biological macromolecules, whose relevance is becoming increasingly evident, are chitin and its main derivative, chitosan. Potential and usual applications of chitin, chitosan and their derivatives are estimated to be more than 200 [1]. This wide range of applications includes biomedicine, food, biotechnology, agriculture and cosmetics, among others. The importance of chitin and chitosan in the last years is evident in Table 1. Chitin and chitosan are described as a family of linear polysaccharides consisting of varying amounts of (1 4) linked residues of N-acetyl-2 amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose (denoted in this review as A residues) and 2-amino-2-deoxy-Dglucose residues (denoted in this review as D residues). Chitin samples have a low amount of D units and hence the polymer is insoluble in acidic aqueous media (Fig. 1a). On the other hand, the amount of D units in chitosan samples is high enough to allow the polymer to dissolve in acidic aqueous media. Some authors consider that chitosan is the polymer with at least 60% of D residues [2]. Chitin is the second most abundant natural polymer in nature after cellulose and it is found in the structure of a wide number of invertebrates (crustaceans' exoskeleton, insects' cuticles) and the cell walls of fungi, among others. On the other hand, chitosan only occurs naturally in some fungi (Mucoraceae) [3]. *Address correspondence to this author at the Institute of Biofunctional Studies, Complutense University, Paseo Juan XXIII, nº 1, Madrid 28040, Spain; Tel/Fax: +34-913943284; E-mail: email@example.com; email@example.com 1872-3136/09 $55.00+.00

Gemvara yellow gold iolite flower stud jewelry are a classic that you'll wear your whole life. Every pair of our stud earrings is made to order in your choice of gems and precious metals. Most jewelry manufacturers compromise on the quality of the gems they select for earrings, choosing a lower quality than gems for rings. They'll even tell you that quality doesn't matter for earrings because you can't see them while you are wearing them. At Gemvara, we hand select each gem for your yellow gold iolite flower stud jewelry using the same care and quality standards as we use for our gorgeous gemstone rings. Pairs are perfectly matched for maximum impact. We think classics like yellow gold iolite flower stud jewelry should be the same investment quality as all your beautiful jewelry, a quality you'll be proud to wear. Slate blue iolite was once known as "water sapphire" for its less-intense blue color. Iolite is difficult to cut since it is different colors when viewed in different directions. Gemvaras iolite is carefully oriented and cut for maximum brilliance. Iolite is the 21st anniversary gem. Classic 14 karat yellow gold is both beautiful and durable. Gemvara also offers every design in rich 18-karat yellow gold, which has a more buttery color and is 75 percent pure for long-lasting value. Gemvara's fine quality yellow gold iolite flower stud jewelry are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Citadel Capital, one of the largest private equity firms in Africa and the Middle East acquired a 49% stake in Sheltam Railways Company, the largest single shareholder and lead investor in Rift Valley Railways of Kenya and Uganda.
Sheltam owns 35% of Rift Valley Railways and the transaction gives Citadel Capital an effective ownership of 17.5% of RVR. Citadel Capital will look to inject more than $150 million in Kenya Uganda Railways over the coming five years.
Citadel Capital is listed in the Middle East Investors Directory with the code EM08.
Their full press release follows
Citadel Capital (CCAP.CA on the Egyptian Stock Exchange), the leading private equity firm in Africa and the Middle East with $8.3bn in investments under control, confirmed today that has acquired a 49% stake in Sheltam Railways Company, the largest single shareholder and lead investor in Rift Valley Railways of Kenya and Uganda.
Sheltam owns 35% of Rift Valley Railways (RVR), which has a 25-year concession to operate a century-old rail line with some 2,000 kilometers of track linking the Indian Ocean port of Mombasa in Kenya with the interiors of both Kenya and Uganda, including the capital city of Kampla. The transaction gives Citadel Capital an effective ownership of 17.5% of RVR.
Citadel Capital will look to inject more than $150m in Kenya Uganda Railways over the coming five years. This is the first of several investments we are exploring in East Africa and is a natural extension of our proven interest in the continent's transportation and logistics sector," said Citadel Capital Managing Director Karim Sadek.
"Kenya Uganda Railways is a storied line with immense potential waiting to be unlocked by the smart deployment of capital and management talent, two things Citadel Capital would bring to the table," added Sadek. "Going forward, it is our intention to acquire 100% of Sheltam at the same time as we continue exploring other investments in Africa's promising transport sector."
Across its core African footprint, Citadel Capital sees transport costs being a major impediment to economic growth: High costs and systemic inefficiency greatly reduce the competitiveness of African businesses, as East African Community reports clearly underline.
Transport prices in East Africa are among the highest in the world, studies find, with transport to Uganda from Kenya presently costing more than $0.13 per ton/kilometer (the standard industry metric) due in large part to heavy reliance on trucking. A lack of operating capacity has resulted in rail capturing less than 10% of East Africa's transport market.
"An efficient rail network could, in time, bring East African transport costs down by as 50% due to the operational and fuel efficiency of shipping by rail," said Citadel Capital Managing Director Amr El-Barbary, noting that, "Kenya Uganda Railways hauls just over 1 million tons per annum today out of an existing market of 16 million tons being handled in Mombasa Port today. New investment and a fresh approach to management could see that figure grow to 5 million tons per annum within five years."
Citadel Capital has a proven track record of working hand-in-hand with existing management teams to recruit globally experienced consultants and additional management talent at all of its platform investments. Citadel Capital fully supports Rift Valley Railways in its ongoing discussions with América Latina Logística (ALL) on the finalization of a technical agreement, noting that ALL's capacity and expertise complement Citadel Capital's know-how.
Citadel Capital's other investments in Africa's transportation and logistics sector include Egypt's National River Transportation Company and Sudan's Keer Marine. Both companies operate environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient river transport networks and are developing supporting river ports / logistics hubs.

Our living room has been in need of a clock for a while now. I know from experience that it can get a little annoying if every time you want to check the time you have to peek into the kitchen at the microwave . It's especially annoying if you need the time in a pinch and the clock just says ":20" because you forgot to hit the clear button after nuking that casserole for dinner last night. I was finally fed up with this minor inconvenience and made a clock.
I've actually had the materials for this project for some time now but I have just been putting off making it because I wasn't sure if it would really turn out plus the clock mechanism looked a little intimidating. I thought starting this project would be some long process that would take forever but that actually couldn't be further from the truth! The clock actually came together quite quickly and I am super happy with how it turned out. Plus now I don't need to hit the clear button on the microwave every time I want to know what time it is!
This project is a really fun and mindless craft and perfect for working on over the course of a couple days. If you've been around for a while you have probably noticed that's how most of my projects are, mindless stuff you can do in a couple days while watching your favorite shows/movies. It's sorta my thing…I craft, I eat, I sleep….hehehehe.
To make this awesome clock, here's what you'll need:
Embroidery hoop
canvas fabric
clock mechanism
black embroidery floss
scrap yarn/string
Type up the numbers in the font and size you want in your favorite word processor. I used Google Docs with the font "Roboto Condensed" in size 96. Print and cut out all your numbers.
Grab a big sheet of paper that's larger than your hoop, or just tape a few sheets together like I did, and trace the inside of the hoop.
Arrange the numbers around the circle and tape in place.
Now it's time to trace the numbers on the fabric. Since the fabric I used was too thick to see the numbers through it, I put a lamp under a glass table and traced. If you don't have a glass table use the window on a sunny day!
After all the numbers are traced on, lightly trace the inside of the hoop onto the fabric. Arrange fabric on the inner loop and slide the outer loop on. Using the lightly traced circle as a guide, gently pull the fabric in small pieces at a time to get the clock as centered and tight as possible.
Embroider the numbers.
1. Using the photos as a guide, pick your starting point and pull threaded needle from the back to the front.
2. Insert the needle about 1/8in away from where you just pulled the thread through along the tracing.
3. Pull tight. Insert needle from the back about 1/8in away from last stitch.
4. Insert needle it into the previous stitch, like the last photo on the right shows. And keep repeating these steps for all the numbers.
The numbers are finally done!
Find the center of the clock and make a hole just big enough for the clock shaft to fit through.
Attach the clock mechanism.
Attach the hands by following the package instructions.
To help support the clock part, use scrap yarn to attach the hoop to the clock like I did here.
Give the clock on last glance and tug the fabric tight from the front. Now, take some embroidery thread and string through the left over fabric in the back.
Cut the excess so the clock can hang flat, but don't over trim. It's important to no over trim because the fabric will become loose over time and you'll want to have a bit of extra fabric to tighten it down the road.
Hang on your favorite wall, and never be late again!
Have a great day!!

Identify a situation where ISO 9000 standards have been employed to upgrade processes or software systems. Identify the benefits of using ISO 9000. Why it is critical for employees to stay in compliance as they perform specific tasks? How would you handle an otherwise good manager who refuses to enforce the prescribed standardized processes?
ISO 9000 have two different meanings: ISO is the International Organization for Standardization a single standard and a set of three standards (ISO 9000, ISO 9001 AND ISO 9004). The three standards are referred to as quality management system standards (Schroeder, 2008). Once a company decide they need a quality management system that meets the ISO 9000 quality standard a plan should be put into place to control or improve the quality of the product and services to become more competitive. ISO 9000 sets it standard to satisfy the customers' expectation or the government has mad it mandatory.

Generic Name: pindolol (PIN doe lol)
Brand Name: Visken
What is pindolol?
Pindolol is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Pindolol is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure).
Pindolol may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about pindolol?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to pindolol, or if you have asthma, certain heart conditions (especially second or third degree heart block), heart failure, or severe slow heart rate.
Before taking pindolol, tell your doctor if you have bronchitis, emphysema, diabetes, heart disease, congestive heart failure, slow heart rate, coronary artery disease, low blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, depression, or a thyroid disorder.
Do not skip doses or stop taking pindolol without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse, and it can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. You will need to stop using pindolol gradually. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Pindolol is only part of a complete program of treatment for hypertension that may also include diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely if you are being treated for hypertension.
Hypertension often has no symptoms, so you may not even feel that you have high blood pressure. Continue using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking pindolol?
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to pindolol, or if you have:
certain heart conditions, especially second or third degree heart block;
heart failure; or
severe slow heart rate.
Before taking pindolol, tell your doctor if you have:
bronchitis or emphysema;
diabetes (taking pindolol can make it harder for you to tell when you have low blood sugar);
a heart problem such as heart block, sick sinus syndrome, slow heart rate, or congestive heart failure;

Mike Libby (b 1976), creator of INSECT LAB since 1999, is a multi-disciplinary artist who makes sculptures, models, collages and drawings using diverse materials, conceptual curiosity, and diligent craftsmanship to balance it all. Mike exhibits throughout the US and in parts of Europe, his work is in collections national and worldwide. He enjoys being an active member of his local community in Southern Maine as a visiting artist at several educational institutions, an entrepreneur and an advocate for personal and social creativity.
Mike Graduated with a degree in Sculpture from RISD in 1999 and has since attended the Vermont
Studio Center, been artist-in-residence at the University of Maine at Orono, has enjoyed being a recent presenter at Pecha Kucha events in addition to exhibiting in unique group shows in Mansions and otherwise .
Through Insect Lab, Mike has worked widely with book writers, editors, publishers, and members of the science fiction community, educators, gallery and museum curators, debuted at high end craft shows such as CraftBoston, Philadelphia and Smithsonian, has been a guest of Hasbro, featured through Neiman Marcus, carried by Anthropologie and inspired Jason Wu's "2013 Resort Collection". Originally from central Maine, he currently resides and works in South Portland, enjoying the nearby bike path with coastal views..
How did insect lab begin?
One day I found a dead intact beetle. I then located an old wristwatch, thinking of how the beetle also operated and looked like a little mechanical device and so decided to combine the two. After some time dissecting the beetle and outfitting it with watch parts and gears, I had a nice little sculpture.
Where do you get your insects?
I get safe non-endagered high quality specimens from Licensed Dealers who supply from all around the world; Africa, China, New Guinea, Brazil, Texas etc. I also salvage insects that I find right at hand, the occassional bumblebee or dragonfly.
Where do you get the parts?
Mainly from antique pocketwatches and wristwatches- and I use almost every little part. I also use electrical components and other odd bits from sewing machines and typewriters. Some people donate their broken watches or father's old watch repair kit, which is always a great treasure!
How are the insects displayed?
Either in shadow boxes or glass domes with a walnut base. Both are archival and are durable enough to ship long distances without damage.
What if there is not an insect on display that I would like to own? or What if I see an insect I like but want it customized differently?
Just ask!
How do I make purchase?
Paypal, check payments and money orders are accepted. INSECT LAB is not an online store and I prefer to have direct contact with people- so please email me at the address on the contact page and we will proceed from there.
Robot-like insects and insect-like robots are the stuff of science fiction and science fact. Often in the science fiction and fantasy genre, insects are featured as robotic critters, or vice versa. There are many examples in TV, movies, video games, comic books, even on album covers. From Cronos to The Golden Compass, the insect/robot archetype has been used, re-used and re-imagined many many times.
Both biologists and engineers look to insect movement, design and social behavior to inspire new technology and applications. Some of the most advanced aircraft is smaller than a dragonfly, and NASA scientists are making walking rovers and "swarm theory" probes for planetary exploration.
Technology is finding that the most efficient design features comes from natural systems. Over time and ironically, this technology closely resembles the musings of science fiction.
This inspiration from both fields is where Insect Lab operates, by celebrating these correspondences and contradictions through patient and experienced handcraft artistry. The work does not intend to function, but playfully and slyly insists that it possibly could.

This editorial will appear in tomorrow's print edition.
Before they go to work, police officers wake up, take showers, put on uniforms and say goodbye to spouses and children who hope they will come home alive at the end of their shifts.
They handle brawls, robberies, aggressive drunks, fugitives, sociopaths and volatile domestic calls that sometimes turn lethal. They routinely cross paths with lowlifes carrying guns.
Their job description consists of putting their bodies between dangerous criminals and the innocent public. They are the good guys, not the bad guys.
So it gets old watching Occupy Wall Street factions resort to the old, wearisome and fundamentally vicious tactic of promoting their causes by maneuvering cops into staged confrontations designed to make them look like bullies.
As some Occupy camps in U.S. cities have degenerated into spectacles of park destruction, crime, drug overdoses and public defecation, previously sympathetic mayors have been forced to reclaim the hijacked public spaces.
Many demonstrators insist on being driven out physically – by the police, of course – in front of television cameras. It's a grab for the moral capital of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, which won the nation's admiration after courageous demonstrators were publicly assaulted by fire hoses, snarling dogs and the Bull Connors of the old South.
As political scientist Thad Kousser told McClatchy Newspapers, "You want to be forced out by the cops – that way you never retreated, you were pushed out by the man."
It's theater. The protesters assign themselves the role of heroic champions of social justice braving tear gas canisters, batons and the system's brutality. The police – "the man" – get the role of faceless imperial storm troopers who embody the evil empire.
The political statement gets made at the expense of human beings – working class men and women, union members no less – who spend much of their time putting themselves in harm's way on behalf of the rest of us.
Sometimes harm's way includes the theater staged by the demonstrators, who don't always do a great job of policing their own. In this movie, officers have been getting fists, knees, stones and firebombs thrown at them.
The contrived conflict is reminiscent of "suicide by cop." In that script, a depressed man or woman waves a gun, shouts threats and eventually forces the responding officers to shoot him or her. The officers go home having killed a human being when they would really preferred to have taken their children to the zoo or a ball game.
Call us hypersensitive, but we saw five police officers in Pierce County shot to death in the line of duty two years ago. That speaks for itself. The law enforcement profession carries more moral capital than those who force cops into scuffles – or worse – to score political points that could have been made without demonizing the police.

Introduction: The Worm-A-Rater
Having a vegetarian wife means we produce a whole lot of bio-waste. We decided to try our hand at organic gardening and that led me to vermi-posting (using worms to produce compost ). I started out with just a simple plastic box but soon found that we were producing more than the box would hold and the worms just did not seem happy. they tended to congregate on top of the bedding. After doing some research I realized that my worm bedding was to damp and way to hot for the worms liking. This was in early March and the temps here in north Texas were still quite pleasant. In the heat of the summer we will have temps in the 100 degree range and that is sure death for my wiggly little friends. If I was to save the worms from a cruel death by baking a solution was needed and the wife was certainly not going to allow those things in the house! Oh what to do?! Eureka!
Step 1: Enter the Worm Hotel
I just happened to find a very large discarded ice chest that was easily three times as large as the first box.
AS the worms digest the bio mass there quite a bit of liquid produced that must be drained to help keep the bedding dry. This worm juice is also a very rich fertilizer and I want to catch as much of it as I can so I constructed a simple stand from scrap lumber to elevate the box 14". Using a 2" hole saw I bored a hole through the bottom on one end and inserted a 2" PVC floor drain fitting and attached a 6" PVC tail. A bucket is placed under the tail to capture this wonderful liquid gold. (just don't smell it!) A 3"x3" piece of landscape fabric is siliconed over the inside opening to prevent a worm exidous into the bucket. A slight pitch was later added to the stand to ensure that the liquid drains properly.
Good air flow is also needed for happy worms so I bored a 2 1/2" hole in the lid and inserted a 2" PVC T using silicone to secure it in place. covered the inside with paint filter mesh to keep the bugs out. This allows warm moist air to rise and exit the box. For air intake I drilled 10 1/4" holes in the front with a paddle bit and framed around the openings with a yard stick. The same paint filter mesh was used to cover these holes as well. The mesh serves to keep the flys and other bugs out.
Success! I was once again blessed with happy worms producing what worms produce and doing it at a very rapid pace, for about 3 weeks then once again Worm Strike!
I found that the compost was heating up to the point that the worms wanted out. Here is where the story gets weird, after all why would some one really care about a bunch of worms going on strike because of unfavorable work conditions.
Well I consider myself to be a fair and reasonable worm manager and promised the worm union a solution to these deplorable composting conditions, they agreed to work even harder if a solution was provided. So I consulted with all the experts in HVAC and refridigeration that I know (exactly none) And found no solutions being offered so here is what I did.....
Step 2: Get the Heat Out!
Thinking about geo-thermal systems I realized that by simply circulating cool water through the inside of the box and out into a bucket I could pull a lot of the heat from the compost.
I just happened to have 12 foot of 3/8 copper tubing left over from another project that was formed into a coil that would fit inside the box with one end projecting through a hole drilled into one end.
The tubing spirals down and around three times and exits through another hole in the same end.
Poly tubing is attached to the copper pipe and connects to a small fountain pump on the upper and and a manufactured spray head on the lower. A five gallon bucket sits below the nozzle, in the bucket is the small pump. SUCCESS! compost temps dropped back to a level that the worm union was more than happy with. (78 degrees)
Step 3: A Breath of Fresh Air
To further improve ventilation in the Worm-A-Rated Hotel I added a small dc fan connected to a discarded solar cell that was used to power landscaping lights that died. The little fan kicks on after the sun goes down and pulls in the cooler night air further cooling the box.
The worm union is so happy they are now producing over a gallon of "Worm Juice" per week!
I hope you enjoyed reading about my wormy adventure as much as I enjoyed solving the challenges.
Thanks for this Instructable. I have lost all of my worms in both of the last two summers here in South Australia. Worms are not cheap to buy IMHO, and even so, I have to wait at least three months to dodge the heat waves we get here, before buying the next lot. A friend has a fairly large worm farm, but this summer that has just ended, saw his all die as well. This has led me to dreaming up ideas of double or triple dairy cream bucket designs, so that I could ensure that a small amount of worms could be saved in the old beer fridge. I will try to work a way around this design of yours, and see what I can find at the tip. LOL
Very clever instructable, and very clearly presented. I bought my starter herd while visiting my daughter in CA, smuggled them home in my luggage, and put them to bed outside under a tree. I'm in the Dallas, TX area, where we had more cold than usual last winter and more heat this summer. It's been in the 100s for days now. My worms spent the winter in a styrofoam box outdoors in the corner of the porch. I drilled holes in the lid and stapled window screen fabric inside to provide air, curtail elopement and prevent intruders. They survived the snows and, to my amazement, were still alive in the spring. I moved them into a hard plastic storage box with a top that closes like clasped fingers. The box sits on an expanded steel table with an umbrella in the center. It's next to the house, so it's shaded by the roof overhang on one side and the collapsed umbrella (somewhat) on the other. Not much sun. Home Depot sells some little little 1" louvered vents, which I installed on both sides, using a hole saw to make the openings. At one end, at the bottom, I drilled another hole and installed a spigot for draining off the worm tea. I use shredded newspaper for the bedding, and some corrugated box material or that pulpy material used for packing apples and oranges for the top layer. It's free at the grocery store. I add vegetable scraps at the top, lifting the box or newspapers or pulpy layer and placing the feast on first one side and then another. They have stayed alive without air conditioning or a heat pump, but I do think your ideas sound exciting. I tend to be rather frugal with my efforts, and haven't tried to care for their comfort, except to keep them alive. They seem to be reproducing rapidly, wiggling enthusiastically and creating black gold for my flowers. My kids and older grandkids have no interest and think Grandmother is a bit strange for having a worm farm, but I can live with that. Maybe the 4yo grandson will be interested. He likes to play with the water hose outside, just watering plants and himself. BTW, the table and umbrella and styrofoam box came from the "curbside variety store" the day before garbage pickup, so I'd call them "green". Keep on vermicomposting!!
If the components in your solar fan are standard off the shelf electronic parts, Such as from radio shack. Then you can alter the circuit, To make it turn on in the daytime when its the hottest. And then it would just sit all night long gathering whatever little light it can until morning. Also the capacitors could most likely be replaced with larger value capacitors, That would store enough energy to give it the kick start that it needs when it first turns on, So you dont have to tap it anymore. Or it could all be in a microchip which would make this suggestion pointless. An alternative idea, Is to use a relay that is normally on, And when its powered it turns off the power to the fan, And just wire your fan through this relay, So that its on in the daytime, and off at night.
I like it...I have an old cooler in garage that is now destined to become a worm hotel. I'm thinking of maybe taking the radiator from a discarded fridge and shaping into the bed. What do you think? I will also, since living in the Chicago area need to be able to survive below freezing temps in the winter.
This is a great instructable. I have been thinking about making one of these for myself, and this provides a great starting point. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the fountain pump. It would be nicer to come up with a "greener" solution. One could get a large solar panel to run the fountain pump, but large solar panels don't come cheep. It seems to me that a better solution might be evaporation. This is not my area of expertise so I'm not sure how it would be done. I imagine a piece of cloth wicking up water, which then evaporates cooling a conduit, then the cooled air in the conduit could be blown by a solar fan into the worm hotel. Anyone with expertise here please chime in. Am I totally off base or can this be made to work? Great work COOPDADDI and thanks for sharing!
What about a distillation sort of setup? The water at the bottom could be heated by a solar oven or the PVC pipe spray-painted black. The evaporated water would rise back up the original elevation where it could be condensed. The cooler water in the original container would absorb the heat from the soil and sunlight.
It works in theory.....
I agree that a greener solution would be better. I have purchased a solar fountain pump that works great when there is direct sunlight, but stops when a cloud passes by. The set up did not include any type of battery storage it is a direct power set up so I have been experimenting with with a couple of different options and will update when I have something workable.
Glad to read that, because I was concerned that this compost was counter-productive if it required the use of electricity every day. I would imagine that you could find a way to make the fan solar powered too, making this composter completely green.... even though it is technically brown and smelly.
I think he is talking about a source for the water. That might work, but would require more work to get the water in. That's cool that the fan is already solar powered. did you build it yourself or buy one already like that?
yup exactly .the wateris going to be cool and can be split so you can use some for a garden or plant watring system
So you are thinking a continual out flow from the rain barrel? What happens when there is no more water?
it matters how much it rains .you could make it drip watslowly but probbaly render it useless. it was 12:00 i was tired .
I already have 700 gallons of rain water storage. The cooler does not loose water except through evaporation, less than a gallon per week. I bought a little battery powered fan for $2 disassembled the batttery part and wired it into the cell. The cell contains three AA rechargeable nicads and has a photo sensor to turn on at night. There does seem to be an issue with start up though. I have to give it a little thump to get it started.
While this idea is intriguing I think the bust solution is going to be a dual pump lifting to a reservoir that flows into the tubing. one pump being the solar and the other being a small clacker style windmill that builds a column of water.
Nice work, but the way i see it you have to put ice in the bucket to cool the water then use electricity to move the water. Why not just install two 4" tubs running vertically from top to bottom with a drain plug. You could then just Fill them with ice each day. Or even better make a cylinder that you can freeze and just replace the cylinder every other day or so. Just some ideas. I may have to make me one of these boys....Thanks for the great idea!
I once used worms to produce compost also. they were very happy for a period of time, wiggling really nicely. Then before not too long, they were dead--burned. the compost got too hot. Your solution is too ingenious. Brilliant.
AWW Shucks twernt nuthin! Thanks for the complement! Friends and family really think Im nuts though
composts actually produce their own heat and if you needed something heated you could "kill two birds with one stone"
They always do. I'm in Central Florida and our temperatures are quite high too. All I can think for a very green and inexpensive solution would be a breezeway, like they used when building "cracker" houses. I love your instructable, it's very inspiring. I'm done "making the beds" and now I'm moving on to stinkier business - compost, worm farm, manure pit - so I'm open to all ideas and suggestions. I'll experiment with a "worm-cracker-house" and see how it goes (my gardening budget includes a solar powered fountain pump, but that one is for the pond). Also, and this one is for people knowledgable in AQUAPONICS: since this design needs a constant source of running water, would it be viable to somehow make it part of an aquaponic system?
Yes it would work with an aquaponics set up. You will just need to make sure that the worms are in the shade. A higher flow rate such as found in such systems would be even better than the small pump that I am using.
AHA! Thanks. I fell in love with the idea since I read about aquaponics on Organic Consumers. It's a project for the winter, so I hope to have it running and ready to share with everyone in the spring.
then you should check this out first...
Fantastic instructable! What a good wormy manager you are! This would be a great solution for our heat here in Oklahoma during the summer months. The only thing I would have to worry about would be my 3 year old nephew flipping things over looking for "wormies" and stumbling across my little creation and collecting them up for himself. **Holy trap! ah huge wormy hole!!** He would then put them all in his 1/2 gallon wormy bucket with dirt and then leave them outside for a couple of days, playing with them every day, until they all died. He really does mean well, as he began collecting them for him and his daddy to fish with, but he doesn't understand the importance of same day picking, and his facination doesn't allow that to happen. My nephew, I'm sure, hopes to become a diligent, caring, wormy manager, such as yourself, someday. But, until then, all wormies, including my future ones, are up for grabs!
Anyway, great job on keeping the worms, and in turn, yourself and your wife, happy. It is a fantastic ideas for areas that don't get much of the cold weather, if any at all, some years!
Now all you need is some electrodes in their "brains" (cerebral ganglia) and you can keep them happy and productive by projecting them to an artificial reality tailored to satisfy their needs, a "worm paradise", if you will.
I think that means your the architect or something like that--bringing them down into captivity to suit your selfish purposes. :)
can you provide an instructable for that as it is a little out of my experience! LOL!!
Is it worthwhile going out into the garden to attract some worms to place them on top of the stuff I have just put in my new compost bin, to get the ball rolling so-to-speak? What does everyone think?
My understanding is that the worms found in the garden will not survive in the box. But heck who knows. I just found this site and you may be able to find someone local to you that will give you some to get started......
What about using the natural convection currents to drive the heated water up the copper pipe and placing an old computer heat sink on of a small cooling tower. The water cools descends to the bottom of the tower and starts the trip back up the copper pipe. During the heat of the day you can use a solar powered fan to cool the water more quickly.
Interesting idea. I think something other than water would be needed for that to be effective. A liquid with a better energy transfer, I will need to investigate that. How would the heat sink help with out power?
sounds like he is suggesting using the hot water/cold water temperature difference as the mode of moving the water around. The heat sink would allow the hot water to cool off quicker. Heat sinks come in pretty beefy sizes since they are made to dissipate sometimes up to 100W of heat from a microprocessor
WARNING!! Red Wigglers are European worms: non-native. This is going to sound so crazy, but, unless your land has already been invaded - keep your worms contained. Especially don't dump bait worms in the woods when you are fishin' at the lake. Worms naturally migrate a couple yards a year, that is all. However, with the help of careless or well-meaning humans, cute but invasive worms move into habitats where they don't belong. Then, they create havoc with the life cycles of forests. Naturalists are doing a lot to keep populations in check, but you can help them out just by not making the situation worse. Like worms? want to know more? the full skinny on vermiculture, Darwin's pet project, and intelligence in odd places? Read "The Earth Moved" by Amy Stewart.
Noted and I will check that out. I am wondering though, how can naturalist keep wild worm populations in check? If they are able to do that can they maybe do something about all the fire ants that have displace native species of ants in my yard?
Good article. I have a small bin in my apartment. They seem to be doing ok. According to what I have read, the European worms hitchhiked on plants that came over on the Mayflower. So they have been here a while. Of course, the article could be wrong. I, too, will read the above mentioned book. Thanks for all the infomation.
WARNING! I thought that stuff that drains from the worm bin was good for plants but it's not. It smells bad because it is bad. All the plants I put it on dropped their leaves and have not come back strong after 2 months. Worm tea is made from the worm castings being soaked in water. The liquid that collects in the bin is a waste product. The worm castings have the benefits to plants.
Sorry about your plants, annarch. But the liquid that comes from worms is great for plants if DILUTED at a 1:5 ratio, that's one part worm tea to 5 parts fresh water. Improper dilution of worm tea can lead to the agonizing plant death you have described. I hope your plants can recover from the horrible worm tea experience you've had.
Usually what I do to keep my workers happy is make more booze. Whoops... Sorry. Thought this was dwarf fortress here for a second. XD
Cool idea! Wouldn't it make more sense if the fan ran during the day? To stabilize the temp?
Maybe so, but the battery's in the cell need to recharge and with the average daytime air temps in the summer here being over 90 I think that pulling in the cooler evening air is really better. I seem to be getting ample air flow from the wind during the day anyway but in the evening the wind tends to drop off.
If you need more space, I have found (after 25 years of use) that a defunct chest freezer makes a perfect worm bed and recycle bin. You can recycle almost anything, including humanure, dead animals, heck, even spoiled vegetables. Close the cover and you never need to do anything, except harvest the worms when you're ready to go fishin'.
I live in NC and while it's probably not as hot as TX, I've found the Red Wigglers can handle the heat just fine. I'm also "blessed" with a vegetarian wife and I like to fish so the worm thing worked for me as well. Very cool project!

HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak has posted the following message on his official blog:"We have once again spent three days in the rehearsal room, playing through the now nine songs finished for the album. I can't remember feeling this good about the material before a recording, ever. Especially not for the last album, then I was very unsure about how things would turn out. This time, the feeling is the complete opposite. Go figure. Very weird, but good! "Joacim [Cans, vocals] threw a great barbecue party for us all on Saturday evening, and then we went to watch DRAGONLAND and BLOODBOUND, among others, perform at the second annual Gothenburg Metal Festival. Right now, I'm sitting in front of the TV trying to watch Jim Carrey lose it in 'Bruce Almighty' and Sweden vs. Russia in the finals of the LG Hockey Games simultaneously on a split screen. Tired but content after a really good weekend." HAMMERFALL are expected to enter the studio this summer to begin recording their new album for an October 2006 release. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Dark Wings, Dark Words", "Carved In Stone", "Titan", "Shadow Empire", "Threshold" and "Rebel Inside". The band's latest album, "Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken", was released in March 2005 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2002's "Crimson Thunder" was produced and mixed by Charlie Bauernfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HELLOWEEN).

Grove Name: Kester Groves
Location: South Clermont, Florida
Acreage: 20
Uncle Matt's Grower Since: 2016
Crops: Orlando tangelos, Starburst tangerines, and Sugar Belles (to be planted in Fall, 2016)
Looking out over 20 acres of farmland in Central Florida's South Lake county, David Kester has a vision –– a vision to someday see 2,000 Sugar Belle citrus trees thriving and producing sweet and healthy organic fruit three years from late 2016. David represents just a handful of organic citrus growers in Lake County that would dream that big.
Due to freezes and diseases, Lake County citrus acreage has been in steady decline. Before the 1983 hard freeze, Lake County boasted over 123,000 acres of citrus in commercial production. Today, that number has plummeted to below 10,000 acres.
David wants to help change that. Since moving to Florida in 2015, David contemplated planting palm trees or hay on his acreage, but is now firmly decided on organic citrus, believing that Florida's iconic crop can rise and thrive once again in Sunshine State. Partnering with Uncle Matt's Organic, David is eager to increase the yields of his current organic crop of Orlando Tangelos and Starburst Tangerines, and is looking forward to planting 14 more acres of the peel-and-eat, "bell-shaped" Sugar Belles, a variety that is a mandarin hybrid –– a mix of the sweet Clementine and the colorful, bell-shaped Minneola.
We caught up with David the same day the Uncle Matt's production team was out on the farm planning and prepping for the Sugar Belle grove planting scheduled for Late October 2016.
UMO: You're new to the organic farming industry as of this year. When you purchased your property last year, though, you stepped right into the role of farmer. Tell us about how that happened.
David: My past experience with farming has been cultivating family gardens only. When we purchased our farm in 2015, there were already about 300 Orlando tangelos and Starburst tangerines growing on six of the acres on our property that had been certified organic years ago. As my wife and I would walk through the groves in the morning we'd watch the sun rise behind the grove and I told her, "I think we have an opportunity here. There's going to be some oranges on these trees!" You hate the thought of them hitting the ground and not being picked. The previous owner abandoned taking care of those trees and the trees hadn't been fertilized in any way for the past five years. So, after meeting the Uncle Matt's team, it wasn't difficult to get that acreage re-certified organic in the fall of 2015. That was an important first step in my partnership with Uncle Matt's.
UMO: We love our partnerships with small family growers like you!
David: In my previous vocation, our company was really big into "teams." And that's what I was looking for as I stepped into this new arena: a good team. I found that with Uncle Matt's. I provide the land and they put up the expertise –– everything from the fertilizer protocol to harvesting and sales.
UMO: So, you've already had your first organic crop with Uncle Matt's?
David: As a matter of fact, yes, we have. In January, we picked our first Tangelo crop and about 60% of it went for produce and 40% to juice.
UMO: Are you excited about your next crop?
David: Yes! Since I'm new to citrus, every year is a learning experience and I'm hoping we're going to get a better yield after implementing Uncle Matt's organic fertilizer program.
UMO: Did you ever consider planting a different crop on your property?
David: Actually, we did. We had considered palm trees or hay, for our horses. Historically, citrus had done very well in this area and I came to have a vision for this citrus project. I thought if Benny and Dave [from Uncle Matt's production team] could help me establish a working, profitable citrus grove outside of the seven acres we already had for our house and the horse paddocks, it would be a great use of the land and a worthwhile endeavor for me.
UMO: How would you articulate your organic farming vision?
David: I looked around and saw our house and horses, and then I pictured this thriving citrus grove on our remaining land that would reflect Clermont of the past. My vision is to see row after row of Sugar Belles that would not be bit by a freeze or infected with greening.
UMO: Organic can be a more expensive and labor-intensive method of farming, why did you still choose to go organic being a new grower?
David: While it is both more expensive and labor intensive, I still believe you get a greater return for your efforts. I still go out there with a shovel and hoe to clean up what they can't get with the bush-hog. I dig up the weeds, pull down vines out of the trees, believing that by doing so, we'll get more boxes of fruit come next harvest.
UMO: How often are you out working in your grove?
David: I work underneath the trees myself four to five times a week for about four hours at a time. My neighbor will brown out his weeds with a chemical spray, but I go out there with a mower and a shovel and get rid of them by hand. I go out there until the sun chases me in!
UMO: When do you plan on planting the new 14 acres of Sugar Belles?
David: If we can get the land ready and the irrigation installed, we're looking at late October of this year [2016].
UMO: And that starts a 3-year process…
David: I even think it might take five years for a harvest, but the Uncle Matt's team is looking at a first harvest in three years.
UMO: Oh so worth the wait! Do you agree?
David: Absolutely. Coming from out-of-state, I think Floridians take for granted the ability to walk out your back door and pick a bag of oranges to make fresh orange juice from November to March. It's just awesome. Every time you drink fresh-squeezed organic orange juice, it just eminates health!
UMO: What makes you feel proud about being an organic grower?
David: We're proud that these trees are producing healthy oranges and there's nothing synthetic about it. Sunshine from heaven and water from the rains –– combined with a little elbow grease –– is all that was done for last year's crop. So, when we drink our own juice from our own groves, it's a good feeling knowing that no one has touched it but us. That's the first part. Second, it's a great feeling to know that you're giving back. When they loaded up the truck with 270 boxes of organic oranges, it felt good to know that we helped bring healthy, organic produce into the marketplace.
UMO: The "eat local" movement resonates with a lot of moms out there who want to know where their food comes from.
David: Even if you pay a little more for local, you're saving all that pollution that comes from this produce being shipped thousands of miles before it's consumed.
UMO: What have you found to be the most challenging part of stepping into the organic farming industry in Florida?
David: Probably just patience. In a society where you can't do things quick enough, there's not shortcut to producing quality citrus. When you're talking about growing citrus, you're talking about planting trees now, so you'll have a healthy crop three years from now. In a business cycle, that's very slow.
UMO: Where do you hope to be five years from now with Kester Groves?
David: Five years from now, I hope to look out my window and see 20 rows of Sugar Belles healthy and producing. Alongside our horses and home, a thriving organic citrus grove makes our farm complete.

THE comprehensive W2 family of sensors from Sick opens up new automation opportunities. W2 class sensors can be used wherever space is tight.
Completely new application possibilities are now available - without external amplifiers - thanks to the interaction of a laser-like light source with an integrated optical Ics specially developed for Sick AG.
For the first time, miniature proximity switches with precise background suppression have been introduced onto the market. Photoelectric reflex switches and through-beam sensors with long ranges round off the W2 family.
Industrial standards and demands are met in their entirety: with metal-strengthened drilled holes for M3 screws (for mounting), M8 cable plugs, short-circuit protection, IP67, and above-average EMC, the sensors are robust and suitable for industrial use.
The photoelectric proximity switches are suited for use in tight, compact areas, such as those found in placement, pharmanalysis and handling machines.
The laser-like light spot allows precise detection of the smallest of parts on transport systems, in belt compartments and on robot arms. The scanner with background suppression is available with fixed ranges of 15 mm and 30mm.
Sick offers an energetic V-scanner for detection tasks of up to 50mm, and the newly developed pinpoint LED as a light source.
A highly homogenous input of current in the semi-conductor brings about a very high and even light intensity, without there being any detectable bonding wire and marginal light effects.
A precise laser-like light spot can thus be achieved - allowing appropriate detection tasks without the well-known disadvantages of real laser light sources, such as reduced lifetimes and troublesome laser protection classes.

Now that I've been working for easywebtaxes.com as their "tech guy" I've learned that a lot of people assume they have "simple" tax returns they can do themselves (via "do it yourself" tax software). This turns out to be a false impression. It's one of those things that if you think about it, is just like hiring a lawyer. Sure you can study the law for yourself, but a lawyer has spent their career learning the law and all it's ins and outs. So if you were on trial for something other than a speeding ticket would you "do it yourself" or hire a lawyer?
The same answer to the above question should apply to your taxes. Sure doing them yourself might get you a decent refund for only spending $50 on a "do it yourself" software package. This might be just fine if you're a teenager working at a clothing store. However if you were to hire someone who does taxes for a living they will do them right and possibly get you an even bigger refund. Or they might find something wrong that you did and help you avoid getting in trouble with the IRS by getting your paperwork straightened out. I've even seen a case where had this one person followed what the "do it yourself" software package told them, they would have owed thousands of dollars. The tax pro on the other hand got them a refund.
Another thing I learned is that people assume CPAs are good at doing taxes. Most are, but if you use (or are thinking about using) one and they use language like "let's do this in order to avoid an audit," watch out! If they are doing your taxes right/legally an audit shouldn't scare them. All they have to do is cite the tax law that they used to apply to your return and the IRS will go away.
It is truly amazing how people treat their taxes. I've learned now that I will likely never do my own taxes, unless I become a tax pro myself.

Shock Treatment
This ambivalent attitude toward the prime minister is just one example of the ideological shell-shock that has afflicted the peace camp.

Gaydamak's dangerous conduct in the field of sports is an accurate reflection of his conduct in the public sphere. The crude contempt for the supreme institution of Israeli soccer is merely an allegory for the populist offensive he is waging against the symbols of Israeli democracy.

It is hard not to admire the political maneuvering of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
The need to allow for laxer criteria for releasing terrorists is necessary not only for Shalit's release, but as a means to advance peace talks with the Palestinians.
But Olmert has no regret. Indeed, he is so pleased with the successful comparison he made between a person and a cow that he reiterates it proudly to reporters, as though it were the witticism of the year.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, TN (WJHL)- Monday night the Sullivan County Board of Education signed a letter of intent for a school facilities plan.
It is the same letter that Kingsport school leaders signed off on last week.
It details a more than 140 million dollar plan they've been discussing for years that includes consolidating schools, renovating facilities, and building new ones.
Monday night board member Mark Ireson said he was against the decision to approve the letter of intent because he felt like it only benefited Kingsport City Schools.
"It ties our hands to a location, which we haven't even discussed, it ties our hands to funding, which we haven't even discussed, it ties our hands in so many ways, that I was opposed to it because it doesn't help us, there is no need for this," Ireson said.
The school facilities study plan still has to go before county commissioners, which is expected to happen by the end of the year.

Avoiding Fiscal Crisis
Fiscal activities in the form of contingent liabilities are common in both developed and developing countries, in part because they allow governments to secure public services or economic and financial stability without immediately having to raise taxes or borrow. Yet they pose a fiscal danger as governments may underestimate or under-report their risks and possible future fiscal costs. Although they may not appear in governments' fiscal reports in the short term, they generate government risk exposures and create fiscal obligations for the medium to long term. The accumulation of such risk exposures and obligations depends on fiscal institutions. Fiscal institutions influence government decisions towards contingent liabilities and fiscal risk, and can contribute to limiting the use and design of contingent liabilities as a form of fiscal activity.
