...Water Heaters In the past 10 years, tankless water heaters become more common in the United State. In order to understand why the tankless water heaters become more prevalent, it is important to understand the disadvantages for the tank- type water heaters. These traditional heater systems have a large tank that will be holding approximately 40- 80 gallons of water and continuously keep heating the water in 120 to 140 degree Fahrenheit. The energy used to keep the water in a certain of temperature even when the owner is not using is called the standby heat loss. Installing a tank-type water heaters will not taking away the usable area, but also increasing your utilities bills. Instead of heating the water 24 hours, tankless water heaters generate hot water when you need to use it, and that can help minimize the utilities bills, as well as the environmental impact. Tankless systems are using natural gas, propane or electric to operate the system, and the system will generate heat by using an extremely powerful heat exchanger. The heat exchanger will activated once there are incoming flow water and will transfer the heat that has generated by the burner to the water that is coming out from the faucet. In this way, when the owner turn on the hot water tap, the supply water will be circulate through the activated exchanger by the copper coil, which will able to provide hot water as an output. Tankless water heaters have...

...AECT 350 Passivhaus on a Budget http://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/homes/passivhaus-budget The article is about Jason and Stephanie Specht’s first time having a house built for them. They wanted a builder who would satisfy them with the quality of the construction, and wound not charge too much to do so. The Specht’s chose the company Structures Design/Build to be their builders for their house. While meeting with their consultant for the first time, the consultant, Adam Cohen, asked the couple if they had any interest in Passiyhaus. The Specht’s did not know what Passiyhaus was and assumed that energy efficiency was too expensive for them. Cohen believed that if they were to create an optimized Passiyhaus design, that they could achieve the cost parity with a traditional construction. He argued that by constructing a Passiyhaus, it would not be any more expensive than constructing a house that would meet the existing energy codes. The articile states that “it is the idea that a builder can leverage their knowledge and experience to produce a Passiyhaus at a price equal to standard construction, if the energy costs are included in the calculation.” It also states that the additional costs of the Passiyhaus construction ends up paying for itself through the savings in the monthly utility bill. The Spechts’ agreed on the idea of designing a Passiyhaus. As the building process began, The Specht’s continued with their research on the Passiyhaus design. They found that the Passiyhaus...

...Although modern heaters have safety features built-in, you should never leave a space heater running overnight. Whether your heater runs on gas or electricity, it houses an element that gets hot enough to start a fire, and that's a good reason to avoid leaving it on at night. A typical electric heater draws 1,500 watts of electricity, and that much electricity heats the wires through which it flows. If you have older wiring that can't handle the heat, a fire could start behind the walls, and you may be none the wiser until it's too late. Even if you have good wiring, or you use gas heaters, you should turn off space heaters at night. Space Heaters Cause Fires According to The National Fire Protection Association, heating malfunctions are the second leading cause of home fires in the United States. When a heater failure starts a home fire, the culprit is a space heater 40% of the time. this translates into 25,000 residential fires a year involving a space heater. Half of all space heater fires start because something gets too close to the heater and ignites. In addition, older units without safety shutoff devices can start a fire if they tip over, and energy-hungry units can overheat old wiring improperly protected by out-of-date breakers or fuses. If a fire starts while you're asleep, you may wake to find your escape route blocked....

...California Space Heaters, Inc. November 30, 2010 There is a fine line between how much safety a corporation should provide to the consumer regarding its products vs. how much responsibility of safety should fall on the average consumer. Take, for instance, the all too familiar McDonald’s coffee episode. Does McDonald’s have a responsibility to its customers to ensure the coffee isn’t hot enough to scald if spilled upon one’s lap? Or should the customer be held responsible for their own safety in regards to common sense judgment? This is what California Space Heaters, Inc. (CSH) must consider when deciding exactly which products to launch. Kerosene heaters are often times used in shops and garages as well as inside homes. They are quite a bit heavier than standard electric space heaters, which tip over easily. Because of their weight (and low center of gravity with fuel), kerosene heaters are typically very sturdy. Tipping over a kerosene heater takes some doing. Additionally, because there is fuel involved, people are probably more cautious than they might be with an electric heater. Users have the responsibility to use extreme caution when operating any fuel-based component, especially any type of heating device. Due to the stability of these types of heaters, a corporation should not be held liable for recklessness that results in a kerosene heater tip-over. Using these arguments, I would recommend that CSH does not incorporate an automatic cut-off when tipped...

...vehicular movement and traffic jam. There are different types of vehicular namely, car, bus, jeep, truck, minibus, microbus, auto-rickshaw, tempo, mini-truck, motorcycles and innumerable numbers of rickshaws. There are many reasons behind traffic jam in Bangladesh. Among them some major factors are as follows: • Undisciplined traffic signal in the road. • Indiscipline among the road user. • Might is right, everybody are free to park their vehicle on Road. • No knowledge of traffic rules which encourage violating the rules. • Enforcement of rules by dishonest persons who are busy in collection of illegal money from traffic rules violators. • Heavy numbers of vehicle on roads. Time is the most valuable things in the twenty first centaury no doubt. And traffic jam is killing the most productive time of the people of Dhaka city. Time is going on and on and we are lagging behind. The world is becoming speedy where as we are becoming slower. To reduce traffic jam we can take steps such as: • Have a good public transport system so people would use it • Ban rickshaw from the main roads of Dhaka • Good traffic system • Good lane system • Traffic police should do their duty properly • Use zebra cross and...

...Every day I ride to whitefield, and yes its very very tiring. But what choice do I have. Going by bus is not an option- it takes double the time and is extremely boring. So riding is the best option. But it still takes an hour. But after going riding for about 2 weeks I started finding ways to make my journey shorter. I go through gullies, riding on the footpath on some occasions and occasionally during extreme jams. I also squeeze between cars and change lanes to make maximum use of the little pockets of free road. Contrary to being indisciplined, I think it makes sense that some of us do this. It reduces the load on the already clogged road. When a few people do this, it reduces the jams and makes maximum use of the resources. Occasionally the odd amateur creates a bigger jam. But thats just a learning experience. Soon he finds ways to get home faster without delaying himself or others. I know this is not the ideal thing to do. But I am not riding on ideal roads. I guess this applies to India as well. The resources are never adequate. So people start finding shortcuts to work around that and the system. Making most use of our precious resources is what has kept us growing. India cannot be compared to the west were resources are in abundance. Here people need to be more innovative, creative and have to really think out of the box. And this happens at the lowest levels- from rural India to small traders and businesses. Now back to whitefield, if everybody maintained...

...has intended their work to mean. You have to look close and pay attention to be able to visualize the symbolism in each of these literary pieces. In Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken”, and Jean Rhys’ short story “I Used to Live Here Once”, the consistent theme between the two would be; no matter who you are, you are the only one who chooses the road you take for your life’s journey. In other words, you choose your own destiny. And although they took different ways to say it, both Rhys and Frost use imagery, tone, and symbolism frequently to enhance the telling of their literary works. There are many people who travel a distance in life to find the path they should take or to remember the path they once took. In the poem “The Road Not Taken”, and the short story "I Used to Live Here Once", there are many similarities and differences. The authors’ use of describing a path helps them personify life’s journeys and self-reflection. Robert Frost uses imagery to describe two different journeys in life that could have been taken. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth.” (Clugston, 2010) As Frost writes in this first paragraph, he expresses the two journeys as a road diverged in a yellow...

...has bought some land right in the middle of Wimberley. I’m in the camp of being up in arms over it. I’m usually a proponent of change, but in this case, I’m not. Wimberley had an Ace Hardware that was right in the middle of town. It caught on fire and burnt down about 6 months ago. They are rebuilding but the building now is a lot bigger than the previous one. That being said, I don’t feel there needs to be another big building right behind it, right in the middle of town. It will completely change the landscape of the town. People come to Wimberley for the tourist experience. Not for the big town experience. They can stay home for that. There are two roads on either side of the land where they want to build. They are two lane roads. The town put in really nice sidewalks a few years ago. Where are they going to expand the roads to accommodate the amount of traffic that will be coming? They have Market Days on the first Saturday of the month. That day is a good indication of the amount of traffic we will get on a daily basis. The camp that is happy about HEB coming thinks that it will be competition for Brookshire Bros. and then BB will have to lower their prices. I’ve even heard some people say that hopefully it will put Brookshire Brothers out of business. These people can’t see the big picture. Let me ask a question. Who is HEB’s biggest competitor? Walmart. What does Walmart like to do? Come into small towns and take over big empty buildings. Then what happens? They start...

...Is A Good Man That Hard To Find? I feel that O'Connor's story fits well with her statement about the South being "Christ-haunted." In fact, I feel that the Misfit, whom at first appeared to me to be a ruthless, sadistic murderer, actually ended up being even more of a 'good person' than any of the members of Bailey's family. I will analyze certain statements made in the story to make my point feasible. “The trees were full of silver-white sunlight and the meanest of them sparkled.” First off, it is pretty obvious to me that the "silver-white sunlight" is supposed to be imagery the reader associates with Heaven. Beyond that, I feel there are two possible meanings to it as a whole, depending on how you interpret the meaning of the word "meanest": either they are being portrayed as cruel, or they are being portrayed as average. In the first case, the trees could almost be approximated with the Misfit in the role of Jesus. In the second case, the trees could be representative of Bailey's family. “They passed a large cotton field with five or six graves fenced in the middle of it, like a small island.” It just so happens that the Bailey family has six members: Bailey, his wife, his mother, and his three children. I feel this is an allusion to the fact that they're going to die later on. The bit about the island may also be significant. In the end, they seemed to be stranded, trapped, and surrounded on all sides by the Misfit and his men, just like an island is surrounded by water...

...in your view how these measures affect business logistics management and performance in the country. Introduction Transport policy deals with the development of a set of constructs and propositions that are established to achieve particular objectives relating to social, economic and environmental development, and the functioning and performance of the transport system. Policy has to be dynamic and evolutionary. The Relevance of Transport policies arise because of the extreme importance of transport in virtually every aspect of economic, social and political activities of nation states. The Logistics Performance Index ranked Zimbabwe at position 103 out of 155 economies, an indication on how difficult it is to move goods by roads in the country. Transport Sector Environment in Zimbabwe The transport sector environment is made up of public and private institutions and organisations. These are supported by legislation, which is implemented and policed by various institutions and individual operators of motor and non-motor transport. Legislation provides the methodology and procedure to handling and managing transport challenges and opportunities. The Institutions and organisations indicate and chart the substantive agenda for resolution in terms of transport subject areas of concern to the society Legislation Legislation involves the exerting of statutory control over transport in the broader...
