Electromagnetic field (EMF) shields have been proven to protect people from the invisible threat known as radiation, which surrounds their everyday electrical sources.

The electromagnetic spectrum characterizes all types of radiation by frequency. Longer wavelengths produce radiation from sources including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, and visible light. Shorter waves are more intense and operate at a greater frequency, emitting more radiation as a result. These waves can be dangerous and include ultraviolet (UV) waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Different EMF shields are used for each form of radiation.

Low frequency electromagnetic fields are found lingering around everyday appliances, laptops, cell phones, tablets, televisions, gaming consoles, GPS navigation systems and more. While the overall frequency of these fields is lower in comparison to high frequency waves, the fields still give off radiation. To protect against low frequency radiation, EMF shields have been introduced to give users peace of mind while operating their technological devices, allowing them to be safe in doing so.

Low frequency EMF shields are usually made from conductive materials and reduce the field by canceling the current, refracting, reflecting or redirecting the radiation from its surface. Shielding devices are available for laptops, desktop computers, and cell phones.

Some devices have built-in EMF shields to protect themselves from other electromagnetic fields nearby. This is referred to as electromagnetic interference (EMI) and shielding allows devices to work properly and avoid interference with surrounding electromagnetic fields. These shields work within the electronics to insure their performance and use primarily reflecting techniques. While built-in EMF shields help the operation of devices, they typically are not for protecting the user from harmful electromagnetic radiation. This is why other physical shields may be beneficial for a user’s health.

EMF shields can be made from various materials, but are generally constructed from sheet metal, metal screens, carbons, composites and metal foam. The material, along its thickness, size and shape, determines the amount of radiation it is able to reduce. Other effective shields against low frequency radiation include metallic paints, engrained with copper or nickel, to coat an enclosure around an electrical device. Furthermore, as a precautionary method, frequently measuring magnetic fields in the home using testing tools can be helpful in ensuring EMF shields are working.

For higher frequency radiation, EMF shields are also available. In fact, newer buildings often incorporate architectural shields to protect its inhabitants from electromagnetic radiation. Some methods of shielding include shielding paints, as previously mentioned, which can be applied to walls. Conducive meshes, mattings, foils and fabrics are other options that can be incorporated into buildings for added security. It is recommended that these shields cover entire areas, not just windows and be grounded. Before any high budget shielding begins, it’s important to assess exposure and measure radiation levels prior to construction.

EMF shields are vital to protect oneself from the dangers of electromagnetic radiation. Whether its low frequency radiation emitted from your laptop or larger EMF fields surrounding your home, shielding can give homeowners peace of mind knowing they have defense against radiation and all effects it can have on the body.

Bankruptcy law was established to help debtors struggling with their finances to restructure their debt by protecting them from creditors seeking collection. Although the thought of filing for bankruptcy can seem daunting, it may be the only choice debtors have when dealing with heavy financial burdens. If a debtor is in a personal financial crisis, it is best to seek counsel from a Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer to determine if bankruptcy is an option for them or if there are other alternatives to alleviate their debt.

If a debtor decides to file for bankruptcy in the state of California, he or she must go to credit counseling within six months and complete a financial management course. Financial analysis of past income and expenses will determine what chapter of bankruptcy the debtor qualifies for. Chapter 7 bankruptcy requires liquidation of a debtors assets, with few exceptions. This is a relatively quick form of bankruptcy and discharges certain debts. A Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer can help organize the paperwork and present it to the district bankruptcy court.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy calls for a repayment plan in which the debtor and their Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer devise a plan to pay creditors over time (3-5 years) in a series of payments. Before a debtor can file for Chapter 13, the court must decide if the individual is eligible to meet payment requirements. The court’s denial can occur if the debtor has too much debt, secured debt over $1 million, unsecured debt over $350,000, or if they don’t make enough money to proceed with the repayment plan. If approved, the debtor must undergo credit counseling, present a plan of repayment, have it approved by a bankruptcy judge and begin paying back their debt, starting with priority debts (alimony, child support and employee wages). A trustee is appointed to oversee the case. After one month, there will be a meeting of creditors where negotiations may take place. If there are no objections and the debtor proceeds to make their payments on time, the court can discharge certain dischargeable debts at the end of the payment plan.

Bankruptcy will help relieve a debtor from financial struggle, but it is not the only option available. Alternatives to bankruptcy include working directly with creditors to build a repayment plan rather than filing a Chapter 13 to the court. Consolidating debt is another alternative in which the debtor can take a loan from an institution, usually a bank, pay off several different creditors and amass their debt to one source. Other alternatives to bankruptcy include reworking a debtor’s budget, or taking no action, whereby being declared judgment proof. Before going forward with any of these alternatives on one’s own, it is advised to contact a Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer and discuss these options with them.

Bankruptcy law is a complicated process that is as unique as those who file for it. A debtor is in a position where they need help handling their finances and should not deal with creditors alone. If you need legal advice on your financial situation, contact a knowledgeable Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer today and look forward to taking back control of your finances.

http://jeffsprint.weebly.com/1/post/2013/04/ice-sculpture-carved-to-impress.html

Ice sculptures are awe inspiring. In fact, the first question that pops into the minds of most people looking at one for the first time is “Is that made out of ice?” It’s hard to believe. For one reason, the ice from our freezers doesn’t come into our drinks looking so cold, so clean and so clear. Usually, ice is rather white and bubbly. Ice sculpture ice is beautiful, and yes, it really is ice.

The next question is likely to be “how did they carve it like that?” Most ice sculptures start with a block of ice weighing about 300 pounds. It’s that clear and beautiful because of a special machine invented by Virgil Clinebell in 1964 which could freeze crystal clear blocks of ice at 15 pounds each. The larger ones followed later. Carving the sculpture from these blocks is the most efficient way to get the most beautiful art work. It is possible to make one from a mold but these provide a cheaper, lower quality piece. It is certainly faster and easier to make a sculpture by pouring water into a mold and freezing it, the quality of the ice sculpture is lowered. The ice is cloudier and the detail shallower, and of course, you can’t have any type of sculpture you want. You are limited to the mold. Actually, it is easier to carve the ice than it is to make the mold.

The sculptor uses a variety of hand tools, chisels, drills, saws and electrical saws to carve the ice. The tools fit into three basic categories. There are tools for the rough cutting, like the chainsaw, tools for shaping and smoothing, and tools for detailing and defining the ice sculpture. Electrical power saws and chain saws are better to use than the gas powered ones, because they weigh less and so are easier to wield. Also, the gas powered ones can be smelly and make the ice dirty. The carver does have to be careful, however, mixing electricity and water. This can be more of a concern when carving at above-freezing temperatures and at any temperature the carver needs to wear insulated rubber gloves and boots.

Computer technology is slowly coming into practice as an ice sculpting tool. The computer is programmed to cut and engraved the ice according to the design provided. These computers are not uncommon, but not widely used as yet. Most ice sculpture is still carved by hand, but that may change in the future.

The ice sculpture, although beautiful and skillfully built, was probably only designed to last about 4 to 6 hours. That is the length of a banquet or special event. Some can last longer if kept cold. They may last for months if protected. When the ice starts to melt, a water cooler bottle or a plastic crate is useful for catching the water. Ice picks can be used to break apart the sculpture and carry it away in smaller pieces. If the sculpture is in a location where it cannot drain into a bucket, such as on the floor, the water will have to be pumped away.

An ice sculpture is an art work sure to impress for its craftsmanship, its beauty and for its short life.

Spray Systems Incorporated manufactures spray booths and finishing systems and supplies them to the American industry, military organizations and the government. They are able to put finishing paints and treatments on items of all size, shape and significance. They design finishing products for many kinds of products including large equipment like tractors and rail cars, airplanes, jets and helicopters. They do automotives, like cars and RV’s. Smaller items such as wood furniture or golf balls are also within their scope. Although jumping from a jet to a golf ball requires a big change, their state of the art machinery and highly-skilled dedicated staff are able to design and manufacture a spray paint booth for all of them.

High quality materials and up to the minute technology is their secret to meeting the needs of the customer. The latest AutoCAD and engineering systems find a solution to even the most unusual spray paint booth needs. They can provide a ready response as soon as the customer needs one, even in an emergency. Diversity in booth size is not an issue. Whether its a 2 foot booth for small touches, or a 150 foot long booth for large machinery, they can cater for the size and shape. Booths can even be set up indoors or outdoors, as needed.

The reason that SSI is able to provide this flexibility is due to their integrated booth steel design and their modular panel system that allows the design of the booth to assume a variety of shapes without compromising quality. Their design combines the features of flexibility in building, ease of installation in the field and simplicity of assembly in terms of the amount of parts required. These features will significantly reduce the customers time, effort and expense. Their customer service department is also available to advise and serve every step of the way in the purchase and assembly of the spray paint booth.

Another advantage is that these systems are deliberately manufactured to be as quiet as possible. The fans operate below 80 db, and some can even go as low as 64 db. As the limit is 90 db and some competitor fans operate as loud as 90 db, this is definitely a feature to appreciate. A fan that can operate at optimum efficiency at the lowest possible speed will be a real asset to the working conditions inside the spray paint booth. Lighting inside the booth is equally efficient and manageable. Tube lighting provides even illumination and cuts the power costs by 20%. The tubes are easily replaceable with hinged panels for easy access and to provide a tight seal against the dust.

The spray paint booth is built to last. Precise manufacturing gives easy bolting since the hold positions are precise and the panels fit squarely together and go together quickly. The booth is made of premium grade G-90 galvanized steel which is durable and attractive. Customers have no trouble assembling the booth because of the minimal parts, specific labelling on every component and the detailed drawings in the instruction.
