JAWA Wins Illinois Tap Water Taste Contest

It’s no wonder we Americans stock up on bottled water as if we were going on a week-long hike in Syria: tap water (usually) doesn’t taste very good. Even if we have to pay thousands of times more for the same amount of water, we’ve collectively decided it’s an acceptable cost. The Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency (JAWA) is on its way to proving that paying $8 for what could cost quite literally two cents is simply unnecessary. Part of the secret to the water’s unusually good tast, according the water treatment plant’s representatives, is the clean water it gets from Lake Michigan.

The other half of the secret is JAWA’s water treatment procedure. First, the water is ozonated, which means that it is treated with ozone in order to kill microorganisms, instead of being initially treated with chlorine. Following this, the water is filtered through activated carbon - in other words, charcoal. Then quagulent is added, which is apparently some scientific goopy substance that causes all of the undesirable particles to clump together and sink to the bottom. Throw in a dash of ultraviolet light and just a bit of chlorine, and presto - the best tasting water in the Lake County region.

How to Alleviate Pains from Gout

Gout is a terribly painful problem that millions of people suffer from. In its basic form, gout is a disorder caused by the kidneys failing to flush excesses of uric acid from the body. It can cause incredible pain in people.
There are many ways to alleviate the pain. Sometimes people choose to go and see a doctor, while others prefer to find natural or home remedies. One of the nicest of those remedies is the inexpensive miracle treatment of using activated charcoal carbon. Activated charcoal is a material used in both medicine and environmental protection. With regards to gout, it helps to alleviate pain and swelling caused by the buildup of uric acid when mixed with flaxseed and warm water.
It is always important that you see your doctor when you have a problem such as gout. It is vital that you discuss all treatments with him or her before choosing a treatment. Going undiagnosed or finding treatments on your own could cause you more pain and future dangers. Finding relief for gout is something that you and your doctor should decide together. If you want to find more natural home remedies, be sure to voice that concern to her or him.

Coco exports plummet in January

The global economic crisis had an extreme effect on the Filipino coconut industry. The reduced demand for coconut products created a drop in export earnings of almost 90% as of January 28 compared to that of last year. Coconut oil exports dropped by a similar number . Copra meal shipments also dropped by 70%. Numbers for products like coconut shell charcoal and activated carbon are not yet available.
Many former coconut oil buyers have switched to palm kernel oil which is cheaper by over $150 per metric ton. Many buyers still may plan to buy their usual amounts but are waiting for prices to drop.
This drop in exports and local sales could cause local oil mills to close or lay off workers. Factory workers and coconut huskers-those involved in the early production process-would be the hardest hit by lay-offs and closings. There are over 3 million coconut farmers country-wide and around 25 million Filipinos are at least somewhat dependent on the coconut industry.

Gaseous Dog Needs Help Because of His Overwhelming Flatulence
The Dog’s Name is Spud, a more appropriate name would be Gassy. Like most English Bulldogs, he cannot help himself when it comes to farting. Because of the way that their mouths are shaped, they take in a lot of air as well as food when they eat, making it a likely hood that he will be farting in the near future. The dog himself has tried to be less gaseous by eating grass after his meals, but it does little to stem the smell of the gas. There are special products on the market that try to help the English Bulldogs with their gas problem.

One of the products is Royal Canin dog food. It is made especially for their very strange digestive track; however at a price of 43 dollars for a bag, it is expensive and does not do the trick. Another recommendation has to been to feed the dog activated charcoal to try and absorb some of the excess gas in his stomach. However, the dog smells it in his food and eats around the chunks. Sprinkling it on his food just makes him avoid it altogether. While he is a very cute dog, he smells up a storm.

The amazing research on extreme bacteria by The Greybull students

More than 10 schools participated in a scientific research study competition recently in the United States of America. Many school students came out with excellent studies on varied subjects such as activated carbon, activated charcoal and so on. However, the best study was on extreme bacteria by the Greybull students.

Usually Ethanol is manufactured from converting the sugar or other food crops into fuel. They produce Ethanol by breaking down the stiff cell walls in plants. This is a fungal method to break down the cellulose. Nevertheless, The Greybull students came up with totally a new concept in which they produced Ethanol using extreme bacteria.

They took mesophilic bacteria to the lab and carried on an extensive research. They could measure the fermentation in beakers with the bacteria. They have invented a new method to manufacture Ethanol. This method is simple and economical if manufactured in a large scale.

This research has proved that even students can successfully contribute to scientific inventions. Ethanol is a very good substitute for petrol. This research will be very much useful to the world especially when petroleum deposits are becoming scarce all over the world.

This new method can solve the petroleum scarcity to a great extent in future. In this method, we can manufacture Ethanol in large scales in the coming days.The cost of manufacturing is very much less and hence this project will be a big success in future.

PURIFY YOUR DRINK(WATER) and Activated Charcoal Carbon
hey the most important thing that we need for survival is water as man can live without food but not without water .So one need to purify it,that is treat it with different methods and make water your thing for survival and not a thing for disease causing.So various methods of water treatment are:
1>REVERSE OSMOSIS:It is the most reliable method of removing salts from water and is the same technique followed by plants to take water from ground through roots and up to stems (similar to the process of using activated carbon filters) .This system is considered to be the most effective.the RO systems offered by various companies are listed as below:
1(A)>AQUA-MITE:Another good method for water purification but expensive and does not offer storage capabilities.
1(B)>CULLIGAN AQUA-CLEER H-5:Before the water is fed into the real purification process it passes to a prefilter which filters it out bu few microns.
1(C)>KIRSCHMANN RO-20 AND RO-40:here water is purified more as there are two ro filters of different capacities.
2>Magnetism:the easy and considered good method for water treatment and it causes “clumping” of particulate matter in the liquid, causing it to fall out.
3>ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT:it is considered to be good germicidal method without causing harm to human.As earlier this process of water treatment was used at industrial level only ,now this is available for homes as CLEAN WATER SYSTEMS CWS-2.
Thats al So always make sure that you are drinking a well treated and pure water only.  Also see the effects of using activated carbon filters.
