![]() A well dimensioned solar system can provide enough energy to cover the period between May and September up to 100% of the needs for domestic hot water and from 50% till 70% annually. If there is not requirement for hot water to the facility, the solar reservoir is able to keep it warm for several days. The solar reservoir, connected to the water network has two heat exchangers, one fed from the heating medium coming from the collector and the second is connected to the heating boiler. When the hot water in the buffer is below the setpoint temperature, an auxiliary power source is getting into operation, usually the one from the conventional central heating. If there is no sun and there is need for heating, the supply is from an inactive container, called buffer tank. For example, a solar system with under floor heating, located in Crete, can cover 100% of needs for heating, discarding the oil use, while the same solar system located in North Greece, where solar radiation is reduced, the contribution rate will be significantly lower, but still, it certainly is very important in terms of reducing the fuel consumption and cost savings. The fraction of contribution and hence the reduction of fuel consumption depends on the size of the installation concerned, its site topography and other factors. The basic principle of a solar thermal system is that it is installed and operates for contributing to heating with simultaneous use of other fuels (of the existing facilities). These installations are already highly developed even in countries of northern Europe, where solar radiation is significantly lower than in Greece with a great success. In Greece, where there is strong sunlight even during the winter months, the application of solar thermal systems is very efficient. In a large percentage and depending on the facility, the water can be heated by solar energy system resulting in the reduction of the fuel consumption. In domestic applications heating the heat transfer medium is water, which is heated by burning oil or gas and circulates to radiators or floor heating. This energy is used to meet our needs in space heating and domestic hot water (DHW). on center).Solar thermal belongs to active solar systems and is the technology that utilizes solar energy to produce heat. ![]() Thicker slabs will use large spacings (12 in. on center) in thinner slabs to maintain uniform floor temperature. The tubing will usually be installed on tighter spacing (8 in. to inhibit cracking, but can be thicker due to the needs of the flooring system. ![]() With labor costs being some of the highest expense, an easy to install floor can be a cost savings. ![]() Installers staple the tubing to insulation over the existing slab or subfloor and then masons pour the slab over top of the tubing. They also allow for rapid changes in floor temperature due to their lower heat mass such that the occupants can lower the room temperatures when the room is not in use and recover quickly when occupied. The thin concrete slabs with allow for maximum heat transfer at minimum water temperatures which increased thermal efficiency and comfort. One of the most popular methods of installing hydronic floor heating in homes today is to pour a thin concrete slab over an existing subfloor and put radiant floor tubing in the thin slab. If you have an existing slab without tubing, you can pour a new thin slab with tubing over the existing slab. One of the most popular ways of getting radiant floor heating into a home.

It’s especially high in vitamin C, a water-soluble nutrient that promotes immune system health by supporting immune cell function and protecting against potentially harmful microbes ( 3). Though acorn squash is low in calories, it’s packed with various nutrients. Provitamin A: 18% of the Daily Value (DV).One cup (205 grams) of cooked acorn squash offers ( 2): Like other winter squash, acorn squash are highly nutritious, providing a quality source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They’re also favored by backyard farmers, as they’re easy to grow and can be kept for up to a month when properly cured and stored, providing a nutritious produce source during times when other fresh vegetables are scarce. Though they’re botanically classified as a fruit, they’re considered a starchy vegetable and can be used similarly to other high-carb vegetables, such as potatoes, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes. They’re grown in many countries throughout the world but especially popular in North America. However, the most commonly grown varieties are dark green and often have a patch of bright orange towards the top.Īcorn squash have sweet, yellow-orange flesh that has a slightly nutty flavor. It has an acorn-like shape with ridged skin that can vary in color from dark green to white. Acorn squash is a type of winter squash that belongs to the Cucurbitaceae or gourd family, which also includes pumpkin, butternut squash, and zucchini ( 1). ![]() It has a long list of measures to promote privacy and security. CounterSocialĬounterSocial stands out from other alternatives because it presents itself as a social network that does not allow trolls, ads, or fake news. While it requires a bit of patience to overcome posting restrictions, its focus on spam prevention indicates a commitment to quality and authenticity. ![]() This platform offers a fresh approach by allowing users to share content in an authentic way, without the distractions of trends or ads. By the way, did you know that Twitter’s recommendation algorithm became open-source just a few months ago?Īside from Cohost’s similarities that are somewhat reminiscent of Elon Musk’s platform, Cohost is different because it has no ads or trending topics, which gives it its own identity. One point to note is that posts are not displayed according to an algorithm but in the order in which they were published. It offers similarities to Twitter, such as following other people and their posts. ![]() However, you should know that if you feel like trying this platform you will have to wait a day or two to be able to post, as it is a spam prevention measure. It defines itself on its website as “a new social media platform built from the ground up by a small team of developers and designers who like sharing things on the internet.” As of today, Cohost is still under development, although anyone can create an account. In addition, it is an open source option, which attracts the attention of many users. With its structure of interconnected pods, this platform allows users to control their data and enjoy an ad-free experience with no character limits. Diasporaĭiaspora stands out for its focus on decentralization and privacy, presenting itself as a counterpoint to conventional social networks. With a large active user base and a unique blend of web content, social news and discussions, Reddit presents itself as a solid option for those looking for more than just 280-character updates. Reddit combines web content, social news, a forum and a social network into one giant platform. It is visually very different from the Twitter feed and is divided into subgroups, known as subreddits, and you can join those you find interesting. Reddit is a well-known network that has been around for quite a few years and is one of the most popular websites, with up to 52 million daily active users. Reddit is not exactly a social network, but if you are one of those X (formerly Twitter) users who like this platform to stay informed and participate in conversations, then Reddit may be a good alternative. As you can see, there are many similarities with Twitter, although Mastodon has its own personality. It also allows you to edit posts after publication, which is an excellent advantage for many users. If you have tried Mastodon, you will already know that instead of tweets there, you post toots, the limit is 500 characters per post, and you can attach images, video, or audio. ![]() However, you are not limited to a single server you can follow people or have followers from other servers, and you can switch servers, or create your own. Therefore, when you join Mastodon, you do not join Mastodon per se you join a specific server. Its main difference lies in the fact that instead of a single social network, it is like a group of networks based on the same technology to form a social network. Mastodon is a decentralized network that, in addition to a “common area” like Twitter, also has different instances. Mastodon has been around since March 16, 2016, and is home to a thriving culture where you can find everything from serious posts to more casual Twitter-style posts. One of the key aspects is that it is a social network based on open source. It is a microblogging social media network with an aesthetic and functions similar to the blue bird platform. Mastodon is, for many people, one of the best Twitter alternatives. We are bringing you some Twitter alternatives today in case you feel like investigating other social media networks based on microblogging or if you want to find out more about other social media networks with other possibilities. Twitter traffic has been trending down since January, and many users are using the platform less or starting to explore new alternatives to Twitter.

With no air recycling and plenty of fresh oxygen to feed the flame, the cold-blast design achieved the most efficient process of combustion with the brightest and most stable flame. The cold-blast design sucks in more fresh air from around the globe and lantern top and channels it through the side tubes to the flame where all of the spent air is released. ![]() The invention of hot-blast lamps allowed for a brighter and more stable flame. This design takes hot air from just above the globe and channels it through the side tubes to the flame where some of the spent air is recirculated through the tubes. The hot-blast design was invented by John Irwin with a JanuPatent. This allows for complete combustion that carries more oxygen past the flame for a steady smoke-free light that's brighter than an open flame.īoth hot and cold blast lanterns are tubular designs when they get knocked over oxygen is cut off to the burner and the flame is extinguished. ![]() Creating a tight connection between the chimney and burner is known as making a "throat". Airflow to the wick is controlled through burner vents and the open chimney.

![]() "They've moved north and south of Bakhmut. He said Ukrainian forces were not trying to retake Bakhmut, but were instead screening it. Submit your own question and read all previous answers here.ĭefence and security analyst Professor Michael Clarke has been discussing developments on the ground in Ukraine, including the recent liberation of the village of Klishchiivka, in the Bakhmut region. If that quest looks increasingly unachievable, then we will see the extent to which western influence is still dominant as a peace plan is negotiated (with China as a key broker?). To return to the thrust of your question: a lack of assertive decision-making? Western leaders would argue that their collective decision is assertive: to continue to back Ukraine in its quest to recapture all its territory. However, it is also true that the Western alliance on Ukraine remains strong both politically and in terms of the Nato military alliance (notwithstanding tension - the US's fractious politics and Europe's grain row). Russia's Vladimir Putin obviously didn't turn up and China's Xi Jinping is happy to test divergence from a world order centred around the UN. That hardly helps push home the case in this shifting world order that the UN, its charter and the values it stands for really matter. Only one leader from the five permanent members of the security council turned up - Joe Biden. It was left to his deputy, Oliver Dowden. He passed on the opportunity to stand before the green marble of the world's top diplomatic body to set out Britain's leadership and vision for Ukraine and much more beyond that. There was, for example, some bewilderment about Rishi Sunak's decision to skip last week's UN General Assembly meeting in New York. You could certainly make a good case for this argument, and many are. US correspondent Mark Stone had this to say in response: Today, Frank asks: Are we witnessing the demise of Western influence due to the lack of any assertive decision-making by our leaders? ![]() ![]() We've been putting your questions to our experts and senior correspondents.Įvery weekday at 12.30pm, they've been providing their specialist insight into the biggest issues raised by readers.

The way we see it, they make a mistake in front of their own people when they argue that for developing relations with the European, with the Western European countries, they are obliged to completely destroy all relations with us. "Mrs Sandu and the Moldovan leadership are fundamentally wrong. It is part and parcel of the common European values, whatever some might say. "Unfortunately, the current authorities in Kishinev and Mrs Sandu see the European values as mandatory denial of everything Russian," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. The Kremlin has today been responding to Ms Sandu's suggestion that cooperation with Russia would contradict the principles of European integration. ![]() Indeed Maia Sandu, its president, previously accused Moscow of orchestrating a plot to overthrow her government. Moldova has featured prominently among other former Soviet bloc countries that have had tensions with Russia rise in recent years. "And it's odd that producing a rather vague video and saying he's here somewhere and leaving it to news organisations like us to try to work out who it might be is less than clear in the message they were trying to send." But I think the Russians would have to produce more convincing evidence than this if they want to be taken seriously on this particular issue. "There's a lot of evidence that Sokolov was in the building that was hit on Friday by a couple of Storm Shadow missiles. On the other hand, there's still no proof that this video is really current. "It could be Sokolov, looking at previous photographs of him. "We've located the person on the video who looks most like Sokolov, and it may be him, but it's not a completely clear match.

Gibson produced a rival instrument in 1960, the semi-acoustic EB-6, which looked similar to their 335 guitar model. Despite Duane Eddy’s endorsement, the six-string model didn’t sell well, and Danelectro began to focus more on its guitars and four-string basses. This distinctive instrument caught the attention of Duane Eddy, who found one in a Hollywood music store, and he used it on every song on his next album ‘The Twang’s The Thang’. It was used on Nashville recordings by artists such as Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley, and Roy Orbison, and it had also been used on Duane Eddy’s 1958 album ‘Rebel Rouser’.īy 1959, Danelectro had redesigned their electric models and bought out the Longhorn range, which included their first four-string models, but also a six-string bass guitar. The technique of doubling the finger-style double bass track with a UB-2 played with a pick was known as ‘Tic-Tac’. The sound of the UB-2 was very distinctive, with a more guitar-like twang and punch than the longer scale Precision, and producers found a use for its tone alongside the more traditional double bass. The new company initially built amplifiers, but by 1954 they began to make electric guitars – the single pickup U-1 and the double pickup U-2. The first development came from Danelectro, a New Jersey company founded in 1946 by Nathan Daniel. From this point, the development of the instrument happened very quickly, with manufacturers soon adding more strings and extending the range of the electric bass. Leo Fender’s 1951 Precision bass, however, began the widespread acceptance of the bass guitar as the main bass sound in popular music. ![]() Six-string guitars have been played since the 1200s, double basses with five strings had been used since the late 1700s, but there was no middle ground between the two until Paul Tutmarc’s early attempts in the 1930s ( see part 3 of this series). But which company took the first steps into this brave new world, and how did players respond to the new instrument? Today, six-string electric basses are commonplace, with virtuosos like Oteil Burbridge, Steve Bailey and John Myung all-embracing the extra range and tonal possibilities that they allow.
