By Colin Croucher Green sand and other types of casting sands are usually housed in what foundry moulders refer to as flasks which are nothing more than fabricated timber or steel boxes without a bottom or lid. The mould box consists of two parts and they are split into two halves which are stacked one on top of the other, the two halves are referred to as the cope which is the top part, and the drag flask which is the bottom part of the box. Suitable mould boxes for a hobby foundry can be constructed by the practical home engineer from timber or steel. Some people may find that constructing mould boxes from steel a little more difficult than timber. It depends whether you feel more comfortable working with either timber or steel, and also the kind of tools you currently have in your workshop. You may choose to build your mould boxes from timber, but if you want to construct from steel then you should do that. The writer of this article built four 10 X 12" steel mould boxes many years ago, and they are as good as the day they were built...timber may not have the long term durability of steel. The mould box project described here, deals with constructing the cope & drag mould boxes from light mild steel. A good size for hobby work is a mould box measuring 9 X 10 " (250 X 30mm). But you can make them larger or smaller to suit your requirements. Mould boxes can be made to suit the size of castings you will be making, the size above will serve the hobby foundry worker throughout the learning period hobby metal casting. Most home workshop owners usually posses some of the basic tools noted in the following list, you wont need to own them all, as many tools can be hired from equipment hire suppliers, but you'll need most listed below to build a set of steel mould boxes for your hobby foundry. Your equipment should include: Bench vice - Ball peen, or engineer's hammer - Hacksaw - Arc or MIG welder. At least two 90 Deg corner angle clamps - One 4"Angle grinder - Bench drill, or hand held power drill - Oxy welding set with small welding tip. (A charcoal forge will suffice to heat 5/16" MS rod)Or a small propane heating torch. None of the above tools are difficult to operate, but of course you will need welding skills to be able to weld the boxes together, but if you can't weld, I'm sure you know someone who can.(But normal safety procdures should be followed of course when using any tool.) The steel boxes can be made in a square shape, or rectangular shape, rectangular seems to work better than square, so we will stay with that format. The first thing to do is to clean up the rough cut edges of the steel lengths that will make the side of the boxes. They are then assembled with the 90Deg clamp and carefully tack welded together. Clamp and set up two pieces at a time, one short -one long, repeat the operation for the other two. Go through the same steps for the second box. Check both sets boxes for squareness before completing the final welding operation. Once that is done. The most difficult part about building mould boxes is locating the register pins accurately. For each box you will need to make two long tapered locating or alignment pins, which are fixed (welded) onto the drag box at each end, and four short flat pieces of flat steel, which act as the pin register holder, and the pin locator. All four of the plates should be ganged together in the drill vice to enable accurate drilling of the hole for the pin locator. To understand this principle fully the step-by-step process is explained using pictures and text in the free ebook "How To Build Mould Boxes" that is included with the hobby foundry ebook package Metal Casting Made Easy. Once the steel lugs are securely welded to the boxes, all you need to do is to bend up some steel lifting handles from small diameter rod, they need to be welded to the cope (top) mould box; make them a comfortable fit for your hands, as you will be the one using them the most. To stop the moulding sand from dropping out of the box after ramming, simply weld some short lengths of 5/16" Dia rods on the inside of each box, about mid distance from the top, that is all you need to stop any sand dropping out of the mould box during sand moulding operations. Another essential item required for efficient moulding is a bottom board, or moulders board, it is made from thick ply and is larger in size than the flask or box that is being rammed up. It also has two 1.5" X 1.5" square timber ribs attached to the underside to provide a solid base, and provides a secure hand grip to pick up the mould boxes to turn them over during the moulding process. The complete hobby foundry ebook package is designed to give you all the information required to set up your own hobby foundry. the info will enable you to start creating those wonderful castings you have been dreaming about. You should not rush the learning; it may take you several weeks or months to make at all come together for you. Once you have your mould boxes (Timber or Steel) you can then start to practice setting patterns & ramming up sand in both boxes, and understanding the methods and techniques of sand moulding, it is a lot of fun and 99% of people get enormous personal satisfaction from hobby metal casting.

By Cyndy DiBeneditto Why Weight? Five simple and effective solutions to help you manage weight naturally! by Cyndy DiBeneditto, CTN I am so sick of reading about the latest fad diet, the miracle pill and the latest hypnosis technique for losing weight. The truth is everybody is different! No one thing will work for everyone! Most of these diets and pills are not safe. The pills usually contain harmful stimulants and are addictive. Thats why at All Is Well, Inc, we use only certified organic herbal remedies to help you to manage weight naturally. There are so many reasons for weight gain that I am not even going to attempt to write about all of them here. I will say that it is NOT about giving up your favorite foods and eating celery sticks all day! What I have found out in all my years of working with people with weight issues, is that no matter what is causing weight gain or the inability to lose weight, there are simple, basic natural things that anyone can do to assist the body back into balance. It is just a start, not an end. The Starting Line Lets get started! These are the five simple things anyone can do to manage weight naturally with safe and effective herbal remedies no matter what the cause is. 1) Control your appetite 2) Eliminate excess body fluids 3) Increase your metabolism 4) Curb your carb cravings 5) Break down and burn off excess fat Control your appetite: Yes, it is true that a lot of people DO NOT overeat yet they are overweight. It is not actually about the amount of food that we consume. You may have a perfect portion of food on your plate, but if your body doesnt need all of it at that point of the day, you will overeat. So we must pay attention to if we FEEL full. It takes the brain about 20 minutes to send a signal that we are full. Its best to stop before you feel full. So even if it does not look like you ate much, it still may be too much for your body at that moment. No matter what the reason for our weight issues, we must control our appetite. Decrease fluid retention: Do you realize how much water weighs? Getting rid of excess fluids safely can decrease your weight by 5 10 pounds! Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! And drink, drink, drink! Thats right! You hold on to water if you DONT drink it. Get a minimum of eight 8oz glasses a day. No matter what the reason for our weight issues, we must eliminate excess body fluids.. Increase your metabolism: Lets face it. Compared to the way of life 100 years ago, we are quite sedentary. (As I sit with my computer on my lap, my cell phone in my pocket, hundreds of CDs at my fingertips on my I-pod, and my tv remote on the table next to me just in case!) We just dont move as much as we used to. I prefer not to call it exercise. I usually ask my clients Are you moving your body? It is really important to just move around if you want to increase your metabolism and control your weight. Too much movement is not good either. Its all about balance. No matter what the reason for our weight issues, we must increase our metabolism. Curb your carb cravings: Ahhh!!! Sugar! We all love our sweets! We all know how much quick energy we get from our beloved simple carbs! (We also know the crash landing at the finish line!) If we want to run a steady race we must consume better carbs and decrease our cravings for simple sugars. No matter what the reason for our weight issues, we must curb our carb cravings. Break down and burn off excess fat: When we consume excess carbohydrates, (thats right, not fats) whatever we do not use within an hour or so is stored as fat! It just sits there until we break it down and burn it off. This can cause our entire system to be sluggish and not perform at its peak. No matter what the reason for our weight issues, we must break down and burn off excess fat. The finish line: How do we accomplish these five simple things? Besides the obvious things like pay attention to when you feel full, move your body, eat better quality carbohydrates, drink plenty of bottled or filtered water, and lower your fat intake, I have put together certified organic natural herbal remedies to assist you in accomplishing all of them.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Keith_Longmire]Keith Longmire Why all the hype over the Blackberry? You know, that personal organiser so beloved of city executives. As far as I can tell the Blackberry does one thing well deliver your emails to you while your are on the move. Forgive me if I am underwhelmed. For less money you could buy DiaryPoint on a top range mobile telephone and get email, multiple diary coordination, work on your MS Office documents, watch video, take photographs Let me be honest. Ive never used a Blackberry. Most of my knowledge about the Blackberrys features come from web sites trying to sell Blackberrys. My insights into Blackberry thumb (a condition brought about by typing with your thumbs) come from an accountant friend of mine. My friend thinks his Blackberry is brilliant. But I just dont get it. I just cant get excited over the ability to receive email on the move. DiaryPoint operates on the latest generation of mobile telephones - Pocket PC with inbuilt smart phones. Like the Blackberry, DiaryPoint allows you to collect your email on the more. But unlike the Blackberry, you can coordinate multiple diaries, download your MS Office attachments, work on your spreadsheets, manage your contacts In fact, using the DiaryPoint you can do just about anything you can do in the office. And thanks to the wonders of GPRS (and 3G as it becomes more widely available) you can already use DiaryPoint across more than 98% of the UK. GPRS coverage is not perfect - and 3G networks have some way to go before coverage is anything other than patchy - but DiaryPoint adds Wireless LAN network to the mix of connectivity technologies, including Quadband GSM/GPRS, Bluetooth and infrared. Just compare that to the limited connectivity options offered by the Blackberry. DiaryPoint provides a sophisticated contact management system providing instant access to all your contact information. Never again will you have to call the office for the name of that supplier that is on your desktop PC. All contacts are always available and always updated. Make your calls with one touch telephone dialling. Search for your contact by name. Click on the name. The number is dialled. Want to send an email - click the email icon and the email client opens ready for use. Adding attachments is just a couple more clicks. It is as easy as it gets. How Does it Work? DiaryPoint resides on your mobile phone. The central diary resides on our central server (no need for MS Exchange or Lotus Domino licences). Using your smart phone you will instantly be able to make appointments, add contacts and manage your time more effectively than ever before. You will also be able to access the diaries of any of your colleagues, subject to security privileges, that also have DiaryPoint. Scheduling appointments across multiple diaries has never been so simple. Obviously, you can also access your diary from any PC through a standard web browser. To work off-line (useful when you want to organise your contacts or schedule appointments in bulk) there's a one-click install that installs DiaryPoint on your PC. So now you can understand why I just dont get the Blackberry. Another triumph for marketing hype over true innovation? Until now. Anyone for Blackberry Crush?

By Dr Bianca Tavares Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a treatment which essentially involves providing the body with extra oxygen. The word 'Hyper' means 'increased' and 'Baric' refers to pressure. As we all know, Oxygen is one of the gases in the air that we breathe and is essential for life. The air that we breathe normally contains 21% oxygen. Breathing in 100% oxygen under increased pressure within a hyperbaric chamber allows extra oxygen to be forced into the blood stream and dissolved at a much faster rate than if pressure was not used. Another effect is the increased oxygen transport capacity of the blood. Under atmospheric pressure, oxygen transport is limited by the oxygen binding capacity of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which almost reaches saturation at atmospheric pressure, very little oxygen being transported by plasma. However Oxygen transport by plasma is significantly increased under HBO therapy.This extra oxygen can help where healing is retarded due to infection or limited blood supply through tissue damage. Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: - HBO facilitates the growth of new blood vessels, enabling the transport of additional blood; - HBO augments the body's natural defence mechanisms to fight infection and kill bacteria; - HBO helps reduce any swelling that may occur around an area subjected to radiotherapy. The treatment is normally painfree and is carried out in specially-designed chambers known as "hyperbaric chambers". There are two basic types of chamber: monoplace chambers and a multiplace chambers. A monoplace hyperbaric chamber for treating one person at a time and involves the patient lying on a padded stretcher that is then slid into a clear plastic chamber about 2ft in width. Once inside, the door is closed and the chamber is pressurised. Multiplace hyperbaric chambers can treat several people at a time. The multiplace chamber is the type most frequently used. These chambers are big enough to accommodate sometimes as many as a dozen patients at a time and it is possible to walk into them. Patients either sit on benches or lie inside these chambers. 100% pure oxygen is administered via either a mask or a clear plastic hood. HBO sessions usually last from one to three hours depending on the nature of the treatment program. Treatment sessions within the hyperbaric chamber are normally repeated over several days or even weeks. HBO therapy is increasingly being used for helping patients who have been subjected to conventional radiotherapy treatment for cancer and are now suffering the after-effects. A major problem with radiotherapy is that, since it not only kills cancer cells but also nearby healthy cells at the same time, it can cause changes in the oxygen supply to tissues in the treated area, since less blood is supplied to the area. The result is that it becomes more difficult oxygen and essential nutrients to reach the tissues. Over a period of time these tissues can become very fragile, break down and ulcerate. Sometimes tissue can even completely die (radiation necrosis). Studies indicate that HBO therapy can be effective in the following conditions: - Chronic lymphoedema in breast cancer; - Chronic radiation cystitis; - Pelvic cancer; - Bowel cancer; - Prostate cancer; - Osteoradionecrosis; - Chronic radiation proctitis; - Acute blood loss anemia. I hope that this brief article on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has provided a brief insight into the importance of oxygen in the correct functioning of the body, plus its role not only in the treatment of cancer but also how it can be used in overcoming some of the serious adverse side effects of conventional cancer treatments. Perhaps it will encourage you to further investigate this fascinating subject. As always, you should seek the guidance of a professional medical fractioned before taking any medications or undergoing any form of therapy.

By Carl Mueller Adult education is a topic of interest to any adult who wonders if their current educational level is holding them back professionally. Certainly education is just one criteria that hiring companies often use to compare job candidates. As a recruiter, I can think of many cases where hiring managers and in some cases entire companies were stringent in terms of the educational requirements they were looking for in their "ideal" candidate. In some cases, I've seen hiring managers and companies who will not hire people who don't meet minimum educational requirements. I'm not talking about cases where a professional certification is required either. Certainly, if a company requires a professional engineer or certified accountant, then this is usually a fairly well-understood requirement. If you don't have the certification, you won't get the job. I'm specifically talking about cases where a job is only available to candidates who (for example) hold a university or college degree. Not a diploma either. A university or college degree. In some cases, it doesn't even matter what degree the person holds, it could be any degree. I've lost count of the number of times where a hiring manager has told me that they won't look at candidates who dont hold a college degree. Chances are you won't see a job description that says "don't bother applying if you don't have a college degree" but believe me, there are plenty of jobs you might be applying for that basically have that proviso even if it's not explicitly stated.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Andrena_Markley]Andrena Markley Mobile phones, arguably modern world's the most popular device have gathered the credos not just by being ones with svelte beauty or being the representation of ultimate machismo through their design and interface. But by the rationale of the utilitarian role of this device that can never be ignored. The biggest of the role obviously being the tool to communicate, and reasonably enough, mobile phones form the life-line of many a business processes of modern day world. They are the devices that accommodate a better communication across the globe and hence better economic prospects and better life altogether. It won't be exaggerating to say that this fist-sized communication device is all equipped to facilitate a better life for its users. To scratch few such instances, one can take examples out of his or her own life. Any instance of calling doctors for help in the mid-way of a journey do sound reasonable enough to gallop a long breadth to say a heart full 'thank you' to the tiny companion. Well, for the ones stranded in the stretch of a lonely road, where even the shadow of the self augers fear of unknown danger, a call to a car service provider proves the role of this tiny device equalling to even.. god! Leaving these mundane cases, can we forget the functioning of a mobile phone in helping parents to stay connected to the wards round the clock and have control over their child's movement to avoid any untoward danger. For working females, a call on a mobile phone gives direct link to the safety from imminent danger to life and property. Also the device comes more than just handy in communicating to safe measures while inhabitants of a house is in attack from burglar or anti-socials. The list of uses of mobile phones comprises many a such occasions where the portability and wireless functioning of this device proves life saving.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jay_Moncliff]Jay Moncliff The cost of education is skyrocketing nowadays. The major culprits for this are increasing cost of books, tuition and living expenses. This forces College students often to struggle with their finances. A quick solution to this situation is short term loans specifically designed to fulfill needs of students. Student short term loans are often a good resource for those who cant find enough ready money to meet their grocery or rent needs. To get short term loan students need to apply through the schools financial aid office. The student short term loan amount is normally restricted to a few hundred dollars at a time. The repayment schedule is also limited to a short period. For Most short terms loans for students are for a period of ninety days or less. The student applies for the loan by signing an agreement stating he or she is bona fide student of the school. It also makes the student acknowledge that he or she understands that he cannot apply for any other student short terms loans while they have one outstanding. This implies their current short terms loans needs to be paid in full before they are allowed to apply for another. Interest fee could be low for some schools on short term loans for students. This is obviously in comparison to the interest charged by financial institutions. The student merely repays the principal amount of the short terms loans along with the accrued interest by due date. Few schools only charge a modest administration fee on the short term loans. This is to cover the cost of the paperwork and time needed to process the loan. The approval period is generally few days. As per the work load of the financial aid office it can vary by a day or so. It really is dependent on the schools situation. Once the loan has been approved, the student must begin thinking about repayment. Its prudent to consider repayment during the term of the loan compared to waiting until the due date. If short terms loans are not repaid by the due date then it can lead to a penalty applied to the amount. Repayment of the combined amount becomes responsibility of the student. This can also affect prospects of future short terms loans. Thus repayment on time is an important factor while considering a short term student loan. I know quite a few students who utilize these short term loans regularly during their college years. These loans enable them to spend more time studying for their degree than working at a part time job. Student short term loans can be a valuable resource if used wisely. However its very important for the student to pay it back on time.
