All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Pine Bluff Variant (5x18)

The tires on August Bremer’s Taurus rub along the curb as the car creeps to a stop. Lamplight beaming from the entryway of Hegal Place shines down on an injured Agent Mulder climbing the steps to his apartment. Mulder winces as he opens the door with his left hand held aloft, the pinky finger bent sideways at a sharp, unnatural angle. 

August shakes his head. Haley’s New Spartans goon is a sadistic piece of work. Finding the perfect moment to remove that asshole can’t come soon enough. 

Flicking the switch on the listening device, August points the red laser at the window of apartment 42, puts his headphones on and listens for the truth. 

“…what you’re talking about,” Agent Mulder says to someone — someone already waiting in his darkened apartment. 

“What happened to your hand?” August knows the soft, concerned voice belongs to Agent Scully, Mulder’s redheaded partner who risked her own life running after him in the park. August saw the fear for her partner drain the pink from her pretty face all the way from the getaway car. 

“Nothing,” Mulder lies. Badly.

“Oh, Mulder, what did they do to you?” she tsks. “God, this needs to be set. You’re in pain.”

“Yeah, if you keep pulling it around like that.” The man’s a smart ass even while doted upon.  

“Let’s get the swelling down.”

Choosing the greenish hued light emanating from Mulder’s apartment to focus on, August ruminates on the reason they’ve all been pulled into this clusterfuck to begin with.

Classified orders to develop a recalled bioweapon in secret were given directly to the army from the US Government. Instructing August to keep evolving the banned toxin, hastening it along. Cultivating a variant of a biological agent to become one of the most deadly bioweapons in the world sure as hell wasn’t August’s idea. But what could he do as a Pine Bluff stationed soldier, eager to use his biochemistry degree? Saying no to the CIA was never an option. So as years passed, August and his team analyzed chemical compositions to carefully create an aerosol version of a flesh-eating streptococcus compound capable of casualties nothing short of devastation. 

And he hates himself for it.

“Why do this to you, Mulder?”

“They’re testing me, too. Haley’s paranoid. Spooked. I was sure he was going to kill me.”

Sending Mulder on the inside with Haley was a risky test he could have easily failed. But that won’t be Mulder’s only test of trustworthiness. August knows Mulder’s involvement in this is a set up — just another pawn for the CIA’s own selfish means. Mulder’s strong opinions on the withholding of governmental secrets is the perfect way to kill two troublesome birds with one bio-weaponized stone. Now, August must be certain Mulder hasn’t flipped sides and become one with the terrorists he’s dutifully warned the bureau about. A final test to pass in order to be saved.

Agent Scully exhales. Her relief that he’s still alive is as loud as her concern. “What stopped him?”

“They still need something from me. And I’m sensing there’s someone Haley trusts even less — the man giving him his orders. Someone I haven’t met yet. A guy named August Bremer.”

Mulder’s right. August had created an alias to go behind the New Spartans’ back by leaking information to the bureau, and Haley will know the truth soon enough. Time is of the essence. If this militia isn’t stopped before the bioweapon spreads, millions may die horrific deaths. 

August just has to kill off the New Spartans without killing himself, too. 

“I hate that they hurt you,” Agent Scully murmurs. “You need to be cautious from here on out.”

“Always am,” Mulder quips, before gasping in pain. “Ouch! Okay, I will be. Scout’s honor.”

She scoffs, “You’re no Boy Scout, Mulder.”

“Yeah, Haley didn’t seem to think so either.”

“Not funny.” August hears the playful lilt in her tone vanish as quick as it came. “Let me get my med kit from your bathroom.”

Only the sounds of footsteps and Mulder’s heavy sighs fill the void until Agent Scully returns. 

“Scully, before, on the tape… You didn’t think I’d really…”

“Betray our country? No, Mulder, I refused to believe that.”

“Betray you.”

Even through the padded earpieces, August hears her breath catch. “Mulder…”

“Because I wouldn’t — I’d never, Scully,” Mulder says adamantly. “Never.”

“I know. I know that, Mulder.” August can imagine her hand reassuringly covering his. “You were doing your job. You didn’t have a choice in keeping it from me.” 

“It doesn’t make it any easier. For either of us.”

“No, I suppose it doesn’t.”

Silence stretches for a long time. Nothing but the crinkle of med-grade wrappers and the burbling of water from what sounds like a fish tank drifts through the headphones. August may be on the outside listening in, but he can practically feel the tension from here.

“Scully…”

“The swelling’s lessened. Luckily it’s a clean break.”

“Hey,” Mulder’s voice is soft, gentle. “Look at me.”

“Hold still while I splint your finger.”

“Scully-”

“This is dangerous, Mulder,” she huffs, her words wavering. “Extremely so. It worries me we’re separated on this.”

“Believe me, Scully, I’m not a fan either.” The clack of the metal finger splint tapping against wood has Agent Scully humming in agreement. “But I’d be lying if I said I’m not relieved you’re nowhere near a man that breaks bones for a living.”

“So who has your back, then? Skinner can only do so much and I’m not sure I trust the CIA agent in charge here.”

“You have my back, Scully. You do, and you’re the only one I trust. Remember?” There’s a smile laced within Mulder’s meaningful plea, and August nods in respect. Only a good man appreciates what keeps him that way. 

“I could hardly forget.”

August clicks off the listening device with a smile of admiration. Some truths are better left unheard.

Tyrian Plants for Breathing Complications

Researched by Pazz, chief of the ALERT Krewe. Research dedicated to his youngest daughter, for whom his research has made life less stressful.

Driftweed

A strange, delicate fruit bearing flower with a large, many-petaled blossom native to the Maguuma Jungle, driftweed is a parasitic plant that grows in the lower canopy, and their heads - almost the size of the fist of a fully grown norn - can be seen from the ground. These blossoms eventually change over the course of a year to a hard, vibrant, toxic berry. During the blooming season, however, the tissue thin petals are commonly gathered by asura (and, later, sylvari) living in the region. Though the fruit that will eventually come from the flowers may be deadly if ingested, the petals are frequently crushed and boiled, treated with special oils to be used as a treatment for various respiratory disorders. The raw flower has a noxious aroma, however, and many believe the oils are used to make it less nauseating when prescribed as a mist inhaler or when filtered into the air of atmospheric breathing rooms used for the treatment of more severe breathing problems. Due to a short blooming cycle and its specific growth region, it is difficult to obtain driftweed outside of Metrica and Caledon. As a result, the plant is not as popular through the rest of Tyria, with other “hedge remedies” more popular in other regions.

Brittleblossom

A newly discovered plant to greater Tyria, the Olmakhan charr have been cultivating this strange plant - native to the Sandswept Isles - for generations, and its been found to have many beneficial medicinal properties. The thick, watermelon-sized ball resembles a tangle of fragile dried vines at first glance, but its name is a misnomer. Brittleblossom is surprisingly durable, but the roots are what can be found to be quite brittle depending on the circumstances. Similar to tumbleweed, a brittleblossom plant will pull itself out by the roots and allow itself to be blown or moved by wildlife to a new location if the soil in a region becomes to dry. Rumored to be nearly immortal if planted and watered regularly, the plant becomes a fiery shade of orange when in a healthy environment. Cultivated when the leaves start going red at the tips, it’s a popular remedy for a number of different illnesses, from nausea to headaches to respiratory distress. Recent experimentation by asuran physicians have found that when boiled similarly to driftweed and incorporated into an aerosol spray, it has a longer and stronger effect than driftweed for respiratory disorders. It’s also become popular for those who are pregnant, as when brewed into a tea, it fends off most symptoms of morning sickness. Chewing the leaves has similar effect, but while it has a surprisingly minty scent, the leaves are very bitter.

Bubble Lily

A large, wide-petaled flower resembling a lilypad that thrives in brackish water, this plant can be found in estuaries and river deltas all along the coast of the Unending Sea. A favorite of herbalists, alchemists, and apothecaries due to its wide growth region and exceptional durability, the plant was named due to the bubble shape of the stamen. This sweet smelling plant has roots that reach down to the sandy soil below, and the roots themselves are popular in teas and ointments. Blended into a gel, the bubble lily roots have a particularly strong scent which - while not unpleasant - is effective at cutting through congestion and easing muscle spasms that result in coughing fits. It’s also a natural stimulant, making it a popular additive for coffee around Tyria. While not as effective as driftweed or brittleblossom for treating respiratory distress, it can be useful as a remedy in emergency situations when treatment made from one of the other plants is not viable. People with chronic respiratory issues will often carry dried roots to chew on in the event of a rapid deterioration in breathing conditions, as it can provide temporary relief until proper treatment can be obtained.

Knight of Beauty : Pisces Albafica " Bloody Rose "

OOC : Some ideas I've been brainstorming during the day and I wanted to share / get some feedback on before heading off to bed .

Origins :

( A lot of this I'm just spit ballin' but also using some of Albafica's canon from Saint Seiya the Lost Canvas )

As a means of countering The Swarm , and Tayzzyronth . The Knights of Beauty cultivated the idea of creating a botanical poison so powerful that any of the Swarm's legion that came into contact with it would die from it almost instantly .

Following Idrila's philosophy of beauty , a single knight was chosen to carry said poison within them . Specifically within their bloodstream , as a means of ensuring the poison , which ended up being successful could not be used in ways not originally intended since it always resided within just one Knight .

Less of a risk as this would be after the IPC's genocidal test of the Imaginary impulse Bomb .

Due to the nature of the poison , this meant that the Knight in question would also be essentially sacrificing themselves for the good of all others as they needed to totally self isolate to prevent any innocents from falling ill to it .

They needed to be someone whose heart was " pure " in that they'd be willing to make such a " beautiful " sacrifice .

Albafica was found as an infant laying among the fields of poison's roses . Assumed dead at first but mysteriously showing immunity to the roses's deadly scent . Considered to be a divine sign from Idrila that he was to be the next one to carry the mantle of Bloody Rose .

He was adopted, and raised by the former Bloody Rose Knight , Lugonis .

Albafica was brought up on the teachings of Idrila by his master , and underwent the " Red Ribbon Ceremony " in which the poison in Albafica's blood was strengthened by coming into contact with Lugonis's . They each exchange one drop of blood with the other in the form of a small cut , until eventually the poison in Albafica's blood overwhelmed Lugonis's .

Personality & Beliefs :

Albafica follows Idrila's path , but resents that his mentor whom he viewed as his father , had to die in order to see the mantle passed down to him .

( To make the use of icons easier ) Wears his former teacher's set of fully body Golden Armor meant to completely cover his body as a safeguard for anyone around him .

Actively traverses the Universe of Star Rail . Seeking out the Swarm in particular , and may travel with other Knights such as Argenti from time to time .

Hates being called beautiful as he views his roses , and himself by extension general as a weapon of Idrila . Meant to kill , not to be admired . Reluctant to allow anyone to touch him out of fear of accidentally poisoning them through physical contact which his master always stressed to him was crucial .

Abilities :

Can make use of , and summon a variety of plants that all carry his poisonous blood with them to use as living weapons .

If wounded , can convert his blood into an aerosol gas , or converted them into needles that can be directly injected into the opponent .

His poison can have a wide array of effects due to it's potency , but the main aspect is his victim losing all five of their senses , and dying shortly afterwards .

Can conjure a variety of roses that can serve different purposes in combat .

Chemistry behind Onion？！

Onions, the widely cultivated variety in the Allium genus, share lineage with garlic, scallions, and chives. Though the origin is unclear, ancient Egyptian carvings from a millennium ago depict onion harvesting. The tear-inducing effect of chopping onions is due to Syn-propanethial-S-oxide, a lachrymatory substance. When onions are cut, damaged plant tissues release alliinase, triggering the production of Syn-propanethial-S-oxide. Released as an aerosol, it stimulates the nerves in our eyes, leading to tears.

A Comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Threading Pipe Taps

Threading pipe taps may seem like a complex task reserved for seasoned professionals, but with the right guidance, beginners can master this essential skill. This comprehensive guide will unravel the basics of threading pipe taps, providing a step-by-step approach to help newcomers navigate the intricacies of the process.

The Importance of Threading Pipe Taps:

Before going into the details, it's crucial to understand why threading pipe taps are necessary in various industries. Pipe taps play a pivotal role in creating internal screw threads, facilitating watertight joints in pipes, fittings, and valves. This makes them a vital tool for professionals and hobbyists alike, enabling them to accomplish tasks ranging from fixing leaks to constructing entirely new structures.

Getting Started: Basics of Turning Speeds:

Once armed with the right tools, beginners must understand the importance of turning speeds during threading. Excessive turning speeds can generate friction and heat, damaging the tap's cutting edges. On the contrary, turning too slowly may result in uneven, chatter-inducing threads. Following the recommended RPM guidelines for the tap's size and the hardness of the workpiece is crucial. Automatic feed tap holders can be ideal for maintaining an optimal constant speed, while those hand-tapping can mark their torque wrench for reference. 

Lubrication: 

The next crucial aspect to grasp is the role of lubrication in the threading process. Though it may seem messy or clumsy, cutting fluids such as oil or specialized tapping fluids is indispensable. These fluids prevent metal chips from welding onto the tap's teeth and reduce friction caused by high cutting forces. For those engaged in portable field jobs, aerosol sprays offer convenience. However, aiming nozzles from an adjustable supply to flood the tap and drill the pilot hole is essential for more substantial workshop threading. Proper lubrication is the key to preserving the integrity of the cutting edges, ensuring a smoother and more efficient threading process.

Dealing with Chips: Regular Maintenance:

Deep threading operations often result in the accumulation of metal chips, requiring regular maintenance to prevent complications. Backing out the tap regularly during threading helps remove cut chips before they clog flutes or reweld themselves onto cutting edges through work hardening. Utilizing ejector taps or vacuum extraction methods can be effective for through holes. Removing built-up chips is crucial as they can directly damage teeth and reduce cutting fluid penetration, increasing friction and heat. Keeping the tap clear of chips is an essential part of regular maintenance.

Regular Inspection:

To ensure a seamless threading process, beginners must cultivate the habit of frequent tap inspections. Checking taps for cracks near the shank or fluid grooves using a jeweler's loupe can identify potential issues before they escalate. Any abnormal smoking, vibration, dullness, or loose threads indicate possible misalignment or too slow feed rates, requiring attention. If threads appear loose, it may signal excessive wear on the flank faces, warranting tap replacement. Keeping a record of completed cuts is a benchmark for tracking tap performance and identifying deviations.

Resharpening Services:

As with any cutting tool, microfracturing can eventually degrade the cutting-edge integrity of pipe taps. While periodic professional resharpening services remove enough material to restore sharp, smoothly contoured teeth geometry, it's crucial to discard taps if significant chipping or cracks appear. This preventative measure avoids potential damage or injury risks. Incorporating tap resharpening into regular maintenance routines ensures prolonged usefulness at a fraction of the replacement cost, making it a valuable consideration for beginners and experienced machinists.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, threading pipe taps may initially seem daunting for beginners, but it becomes an attainable skill with the right knowledge and approach. Each aspect contributes to a successful threading process, from understanding the significance of quality tools to mastering turning speeds, lubrication, chip removal, and tap inspection. Regular maintenance, including professional resharpening when necessary, ensures that pipe taps remain in optimal condition, offering years of continual service. By implementing these fundamental principles and practices, beginners can confidently navigate the world of threading pipe taps, unlocking a valuable skill set for their machining endeavors.

Smoking vs. Vaping vs. Heated Tobacco Sticks: Which is the Healthier Option?

The use of tobacco products is one of the oldest habits that humankind has ever cultivated. From its origin in precolonial North America to modern-day Europe and Asia, nearly every culture in between has found ways to utilize it from both a recreational and ceremonial standpoint. While this centuries-old habit persists today (albeit with a much lower frequency), our understanding of its health effects has drastically improved.   To reduce risk factors associated with smoking traditional cigarettes, new technologies such as vaping and heated tobacco sticks have been introduced — thus raising the question: which among them is the healthier option? Join us on our journey exploring these three very different approaches towards using nicotine-containing substances as we aim to discover which choice offers more beneficial health outcomes.   Introducing the Three Options - A Brief Overview Starting first with the traditional tobacco cigarette, this is a product that has remained essentially unchanged since its inception. Utilizing burning combustion to create smoke from dried-out nicotine-containing leaves and other additives, cigarettes are usually composed of paper, filter materials, and sometimes, menthol flavoring for added taste.   Next up is vaping, a technology involving electronic devices that generate an inhalable vapor containing nicotine using heated liquids known as e-juice or vape juice. This process eliminates the need for burning tobacco. Instead, it relies on a battery-powered heating element to do the job — thus reducing the amount of particulate matter inhaled while offering users more control over flavorings and nicotine strength than regular cigarettes.   Finally, we have heated non-tobacco sticks. These devices operate similarly to vaping, but instead of using liquids, they utilize specially-made tobacco sticks containing nicotine in a heated form. It eliminates the need for combustion and thus reduces the inhalation of particulate matter while still delivering users a hit of nicotine.   What Are the Health Risks of Smoking Traditional Cigarettes and Vaping E-Cigarettes? Regarding health risks, smoking traditional cigarettes is the riskiest option out of the three.   Due to their combustion-based processes, users are exposed to a wide range of toxic chemicals and carcinogens that can cause severe damage to both the respiratory system and other bodily organs. Long-term use has been linked to numerous diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and type 2 diabetes, among others — all of which come with significant life expectancy decreases and quality of life declines.   Conversely, vaping has shown itself to be substantially less harmful than regular cigarette smoking. Studies have indicated that e-cigarettes contain far fewer harmful substances than cigarettes while still delivering nicotine in an inhalable form. Additionally, vaping products release significantly less particulate matter than their traditional counterparts — making them a safer alternative regarding secondhand smoke exposure.   What is Heated Tobacco, and How Does it Differ from Cigarette Smoking and Vaping? Heated tobacco sticks are the newest entrants to the nicotine-containing product market and differ from other options because they avoid combustion altogether. Utilizing lithium batteries and paper-like wraps containing specially designed tobacco leaves, heated tobacco devices heat the substance until it reaches a temperature of around 300°C — thus releasing an aerosol that contains nicotine in a form that users can inhale.   Unlike traditional cigarettes and vaping, however, heated tobacco sticks have proven to contain fewer toxins than their counterparts while still delivering users a strong dose of nicotine. Additionally, they produce virtually no secondhand smoke, making them a much safer option for those exposed to it and reducing fire hazards associated with smoking regular cigarettes.   Pros and Cons of Each Option When choosing the right nicotine-containing product, there are several pros and cons of each option that should be considered.   Cigarette smoking is known for providing a solid hit of nicotine but comes with high health risks due to its combustion process. It also produces secondhand smoke, which can have dangerous effects on those exposed — making it an undesirable choice for those looking for an enjoyable experience in public places.   Vaping is less harmful than regular cigarettes but still contains toxins and carcinogens from the e-juice, meaning users still face potential health risks when using this method. Additionally, it does not provide quite as strong of a hit as traditional smoking and can often require expensive equipment such as mods and tanks.   Finally, heated tobacco sticks provide users with a much safer option that still delivers a substantial nicotine hit and reduces potential health risks and secondhand smoke exposure. However, the equipment required to use these devices can be expensive, and their availability is often limited in certain areas.   Common Misconceptions About Heated Tobacco Sticks Many common misconceptions about heated tobacco sticks should be addressed to get a more accurate picture of their use and safety.   The first misconception is that they are just as dangerous as regular cigarettes. It is not valid, as research has shown that heated tobacco products contain far fewer toxins and carcinogens than traditional cigarettes — drastically reducing the user’s health risks compared to smoking.   Another popular misconception is that heated tobacco sticks produce secondhand smoke. This, too, is false since these products do not involve combustion — meaning there is no smoke produced when using them.   Finally, some believe heated tobacco sticks are like vaping regarding nicotine delivery methods. While it is true that both provide inhalable nicotine, heated tobacco sticks are different in that they do not involve any aerosolization or e-liquid — meaning there is no vapor produced.

What You Should Know Before Purchasing Pepper Spray

If you`ve ever bitten right into a chili pepper and further to the acute burning to your mouth, discovered your eyes and nostril burning and watering. Then you've got skilled a totally small pattern of the sensations that pepper spray can cause. Before we pass on, let's get a few definitions out of the manner:

Definitions:

• Oleoresin - A certainly going on combination of oil and resin extracted from flora.

• Capsicum - 1. Any of diverse tropical American pepper flora of the genus Capsicum. Especially any of the various cultivated kinds of the species C. annuum and C. frutescence. 2. The fruit of any of those flora, mainly the dried smelly kinds used as a condiment and in medicine.

• Capsaicin - A colorless, smelly, crystalline compound, C18H27NO3, that comes from capsicum and is a sturdy irritant to pores and skin and mucous membranes.

Manufacturing Pepper Spray:

The smelly "Spicy" warmth in peppers comes from certainly going on chemical analogues referred to as Capsaicinoids. Most OC sprays include an extract from herbal peppers. Capsaicinoids also are produced synthetically. This article will recognition on merchandise produced the usage of herbal ingredients.

Oleoresin Capsicum changed into referred to as the energetic element in Pepper spray. However, as you examine this newsletter you may apprehend why that assertion is a bit misleading. For years Professional Law Enforcement officials everywhere in the state have cited Pepper Spray as "OC" or "OC spray." Many of them, like myself idea Oleoresin Capsicum changed into the energetic element. I reality, it is Capsaicin, a spinoff of capsicum, this is greater correctly the energetic element in Pepper Spray. Capsaicin, a powerful irritant is brought to a solvent, together with alcohol or water, then packaged in an aerosol box as pepper spray. Capsaicin in its' natural shape is a white powder and has a Scoville Heat Rating of 16,000,000. A unmarried drop of natural Capsaicin is so warm that a unmarried drop diluted in 100,000 drops of water will produce blistering at the tongue.

Depending on the producing process, pepper spray may be disbursed everywhere from some inches to numerous ft farfar from your target.

Nicotine for anti-aging?

Recently, countries have made further progress in the research on nicotine and vape. On the one hand, the team of Li Xiang, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed the mechanism of nicotine to improve metabolism and delay aging through experiments, providing a new way for the expansion of nicotine applications and anti-aging. technical direction. On the other hand, the research team of the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal, used chick embryo experiments to prove that vape aerosol has little harm to the lungs and embryonic development, much lower than traditional cigarette smoke.

The mechanism of action of nicotine is an important research in the field of life science and public health. The team of Li Xiang, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been studying nicotine for a long time. Recently, Li Xiang’s team published an article entitled “Nicotine rebalances NAD+ homeostasis and improves aging-related symptoms in male mice by enhancing NAMPT activity” online in Nature Communications, revealing the researchers’ latest findings on the mechanism of action of nicotine.

Li Xiang’s team found that chronic low-dose nicotine can improve energy metabolism and delay systemic aging by activating the NAD+ recovery pathway. This idea was confirmed in mouse experiments. The researchers conducted observations and cell tests on mice drinking low-dose nicotine water for a long time, and found that nicotine has a positive effect on neuroprotection, and can promote the interaction of two proteases in cells, reduce the level of aging factors, and enhance the activity of NAD+. Thereby improving the metabolic rate of aging tissues. In addition, the researchers also found that after nicotine was decomposed in the mouse liver, it could relieve the anxiety of the mice and improve their learning and memory functions.

This study by the Chinese team provides new targets and methods for expanding the application of nicotine and anti-aging, and once again confirms that nicotine is not all harmful. Adequate nicotine intake still has certain positive effects on the body. Nicotine is currently widely present in tobacco, and electronic cigarettes are a new form of nicotine intake.

The research team of the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal, cultivated the lungs of chick embryos in two different environments: vape aerosol and cigarette smoke. The experiment was carried out for 48 hours, and the results showed that the development and inflammation of chick embryonic lungs under the aerosol of electronic cigarettes were far lower than those under the environment of cigarette smoke.

The results of this experiment and the study fully provide the impact of vape on embryonic development. The researchers suggest that relevant tobacco control for pregnant women addicted to nicotine can provide nicotine vape, a safer nicotine substitute.

LED plant lights bring opportunities for the development of vertical agriculture

Vertical agriculture is a revolutionary and sustainable agricultural method that does not require so much space and water demand, and has no impact on the ecological environment. However, the demand for light has never changed, so LED plant lights are needed to supplement light. The emergence of LED plant lights brings unlimited possibilities for the development of vertical agriculture.

Why is there vertical agriculture?

In a linear system, feeding the urban population is particularly challenging. Agriculture is limited by the amount of space for growing crops. This may limit the total output of the farm, making it difficult to expand and produce more food. This is also the reason for the emergence of vertical agriculture. Vertical agriculture is carried out indoors, eliminating the possibility of environmental damage such as weather, pests and diseases. This agricultural method ensures that all plants receive the same amount of light, water and nutrients.

"LED plant lights in agriculture will be ubiquitous, and all fields of modern agriculture are closely related to light," said Yang Qichang, a senior expert in the field of agriculture and a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Environment and Sustainable Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The planting industry of modern agriculture ( For example, facility gardening, urban agriculture, open field production, plant protection and trapping, etc.), livestock and poultry breeding, aquaculture, and other (edible fungi, microalgae, etc.) all require artificial light sources to supplement light, so the role of LED plant lights will increase. Bigger.

The LED plant light can be designed to emit a specific wavelength of vertical agricultural planting light source, which can be used as an alternative light source for sunlight. Plants do not use the entire spectrum. Plants mainly absorb only part of the spectrum. The peak wavelength of chlorophyll absorption is about 450 nanometers and 650 nanometers (blue and red, respectively). Vertical agricultural growth lights using LED plant lights can be designed to emit only these wavelengths, thus providing only the light needed by plants.

We can know from the above that the growth of plants has nothing to do with soil. What plants need is light. The development of vertical agriculture is to break through the limitation of land space. As long as the light demand is met, plants can grow.

The following are several innovative cultivation methods for vertical agriculture:

1. Hydroponics

Hydroponics is a new method of plant cultivation, and it is also the most widely used method in vertical agriculture. This method does not require soil, but uses nutrient solution to cultivate, which is more convenient to cultivate and the plants are safer.

2. Aerosol cultivation

Aerosol cultivation technology is a new type of cultivation method. Aerosol cultivation is similar to hydroponics. The difference is that the nutrient solution is atomized and sprayed directly onto the roots of plants in the form of spray to provide the water and nutrients needed for plant growth. , And there is the ability to reduce water consumption.

3. Fish and vegetable symbiosis

The fish and vegetable symbiosis system is very similar to the hydroponic system, but one more is to integrate fish and plants together and use each other. The water purified by the plants is used for the fish ponds, and the waste generated by the fish can serve as the nutritional needs of the plants. .

4. Lokal-a self-sufficient small household vegetable system

Lokal technology is the combination of hydroponics and LED plant lights. Nutrient solution replaces soil and LED plant lights replace sunlight, so that plants can also be grown indoors without being restricted by environmental or geographical conditions.

5. AeroFarms-Intelligent Vertical Agriculture Innovation

AeroFarms technology combines the latest technologies such as LED plant light supplement light, aerosol cultivation technology and climate control to control and regulate various factors in line with the growth of plants, giving plants the best growth environment, but the investment cost may be higher. But now there are many successful cases abroad.

Features of LED plant lights:

1. Increase yield: The energy needed for plant growth comes from the photosynthesis of plants, and photosynthesis requires sunlight, and LED plant lights can supplement light to plants when the light is insufficient, and promote the accumulation of plant dry matter, thus achieving the purpose of increasing yield. .

2. Early market: LED plant lights can shorten the growth cycle of plants, promote the growth of plants, can make crops go on the market 7-15 days in advance, greatly increasing the economic income of users.

3. High luminous efficiency: 90% of the light emitted by LED plant lights can be absorbed by plants. Traditional plant lights such as high-pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps can only absorb 8-10% of the light during photosynthesis.

4. Low power consumption: LED plant lights consume very little power, so users do not have to worry about the cost of supplementary lights.

5. Long lifespan: LED plant lights have an extremely long lifespan, with an ultra-long lifespan of 50,000 hours to ensure long-term safe and efficient operation of the product.

6. Environmental protection: LED plant lights are safe, environmentally friendly and do not contain toxic mercury. Our LED grow lights use 10%-30% more energy than traditional lights. Consuming less energy can reduce greenhouse gas emissions into our environment.

Vertical agriculture is growing as an increasingly accepted mode of production. These innovative technologies will become more and more popular and will completely change the face of agriculture in the future! The development of agricultural planting is inseparable from light, and the same is true for vertical agriculture, and most of them are indoor planting, so it is natural to need supplementary light. LED plant lights are now the most popular plant supplement light for indoor planting. The development of vertical agriculture will bring a wave of new markets and opportunities to LED plant lights.

A Comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Threading Pipe Taps

Threading pipe taps may seem like a complex task reserved for seasoned professionals, but with the right guidance, beginners can master this essential skill. This comprehensive guide will unravel the basics of threading pipe taps, providing a step-by-step approach to help newcomers navigate the intricacies of the process.

The Importance of Threading Pipe Taps:

Before going into the details, it's crucial to understand why threading pipe taps are necessary in various industries. Pipe taps play a pivotal role in creating internal screw threads, facilitating watertight joints in pipes, fittings, and valves. This makes them a vital tool for professionals and hobbyists alike, enabling them to accomplish tasks ranging from fixing leaks to constructing entirely new structures.

Getting Started: Basics of Turning Speeds:

Once armed with the right tools, beginners must understand the importance of turning speeds during threading. Excessive turning speeds can generate friction and heat, damaging the tap's cutting edges. On the contrary, turning too slowly may result in uneven, chatter-inducing threads. Following the recommended RPM guidelines for the tap's size and the hardness of the workpiece is crucial. Automatic feed tap holders can be ideal for maintaining an optimal constant speed, while those hand-tapping can mark their torque wrench for reference.

Lubrication:

The next crucial aspect to grasp is the role of lubrication in the threading process. Though it may seem messy or clumsy, cutting fluids such as oil or specialized tapping fluids is indispensable. These fluids prevent metal chips from welding onto the tap's teeth and reduce friction caused by high cutting forces. For those engaged in portable field jobs, aerosol sprays offer convenience. However, aiming nozzles from an adjustable supply to flood the tap and drill the pilot hole is essential for more substantial workshop threading. Proper lubrication is the key to preserving the integrity of the cutting edges, ensuring a smoother and more efficient threading process.

Dealing with Chips: Regular Maintenance:

Deep threading operations often result in the accumulation of metal chips, requiring regular maintenance to prevent complications. Backing out the tap regularly during threading helps remove cut chips before they clog flutes or reweld themselves onto cutting edges through work hardening. Utilizing ejector taps or vacuum extraction methods can be effective for through holes. Removing built-up chips is crucial as they can directly damage teeth and reduce cutting fluid penetration, increasing friction and heat. Keeping the tap clear of chips is an essential part of regular maintenance.

Regular Inspection:

To ensure a seamless threading process, beginners must cultivate the habit of frequent tap inspections. Checking taps for cracks near the shank or fluid grooves using a jeweler's loupe can identify potential issues before they escalate. Any abnormal smoking, vibration, dullness, or loose threads indicate possible misalignment or too slow feed rates, requiring attention. If threads appear loose, it may signal excessive wear on the flank faces, warranting tap replacement. Keeping a record of completed cuts is a benchmark for tracking tap performance and identifying deviations.

Resharpening Services:

As with any cutting tool, microfracturing can eventually degrade the cutting-edge integrity of pipe taps. While periodic professional resharpening services remove enough material to restore sharp, smoothly contoured teeth geometry, it's crucial to discard taps if significant chipping or cracks appear. This preventative measure avoids potential damage or injury risks. Incorporating tap resharpening into regular maintenance routines ensures prolonged usefulness at a fraction of the replacement cost, making it a valuable consideration for beginners and experienced machinists.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, threading pipe taps may initially seem daunting for beginners, but it becomes an attainable skill with the right knowledge and approach. Each aspect contributes to a successful threading process, from understanding the significance of quality tools to mastering turning speeds, lubrication, chip removal, and tap inspection. Regular maintenance, including professional resharpening when necessary, ensures that pipe taps remain in optimal condition, offering years of continual service. By implementing these fundamental principles and practices, beginners can confidently navigate the world of threading pipe taps, unlocking a valuable skill set for their machining endeavors.
