		<description><![CDATA[Water leak detection equipment has been designed to detect water leaks from pipes, air conditioning units or any equipment containing water. Uses include detection of, plant room flooding, server room flooding, leaking air conditioning, under floor water services, sump pump high level, water tank over flowing, leaking water pipes, leaks into drip trays and many other applications requiring water leak detection.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A look back at the development of Water Leak detection in Computer &amp; Server Rooms</p>
<p>Water leak detection came about in the late 70’s when computer rooms were in there infancy. Computer rooms as today, contain air conditioning which contains water for humidifiers and sometimes chilled water for cooling. Because of the large amount of power cables, data cables and water pipes needed in the room, a raised floor was and is still used to hide all services. Unfortunately, any water leaking under this raised floor would not be discovered until power/data connections were immersed in water and the computer stopped working.</p>
<p>Up to the mid 80’s water was detected using spot probe sensors. These units would consist of either an etched PCB or two metal electrodes. Sensing for water was done using a DC voltage in one sensor whilst looking for a return signal in the other. Providing no return signal was seen in the return sensor, no water was present. The problem using this type of system was erosion of the sensors due to electrolyses and the limited area of water detection, water could flow away from the sensors and not be detected until too late.</p>
<p>During the mid 80’s water detection cable was developed. The advantage of this type of sensing being that water is detected along the entire length of cable. This allowed areas or equipment containing water to be surrounded insuring that leaks were found no mater what direction the water flowed.</p>
<p>From the mid 80’s through to today advances have mainly been with the alarm panels and the reporting of water leaks. Today you can be Texted, Emailed, receive a phone call, record it on a building management system or just have the simple buzzer and lamp.</p>
<p>My involvement in water detection by Richard Benford</p>
<p>I was first asked to design a water detection system in the late 70’s whilst working as for Vikingshaw Products Ltd. Our Mother company Vikingshaw Ltd at that time built computer rooms around the country and Vinkshaw Products supplied them with Power Distribution Units etc. The first systems were simple in there design being DC based with PCBS for sensors and control units with a simple buzzer and lamp. Unfortunately it wasn’t long before I discovered that DC was not the correct way to detect water as our sensor copper tracks would disappear if left in water for a few hours. It was from this point that I used an AC signal in the sensors to stop them eroding away. In the Early 80’s I went into partnership and started a company called Wayscale Ltd. During the 80’s, 90’s I developed a process to manufacture water detection cable and alarm systems to display water leaks from one to 128 different areas or zones. The top of the range multi zone control unit used addressable outstations with four independent water detection zones and a 24 alpha numeric display to advise of the water leak location in words and numbers. In 2003 and by mutual consent both my partner and myself decided to stop trading and closed down the factory. As part of the breakup of Wayscale, I took with me the product design rights including the manufacture of the water detection cable and started CMR electrical Ltd with two of my sons. From 2003 to the present, developments have mainly been with the alarm controller due to the improvements in electronics. During the past three decades I have been responsible for the design of thousands of water leak detection systems which have been installed in every application imaginable from large government security buildings through to small server rooms in the UK and abroad.</p>
<p>Considerations when designing a water detection system</p>
<p>A number of factors need to be taken into account when designing a water diction system. Failure to do so could lead to systems not detecting water when required to do so.</p>
<p>1) The uses of an alternating current (AC) not direct current (DC) in the sensors. Direct Current will erode the sensors if left in water for long periods leaving the system unusable for any subsequent alarms.<br />
2) Sensitivity adjustment to allow damp areas or condensed water from AC units to be ignored, but still allow large leaks to be detected.<br />
3) Zone cross talk leading to false alarms or wrong location caused by one signal from one zone using Earth (floor jacks, conduit etc.) to interfere with other zone causing one or both zones to go into alarm without the presents of any water.<br />
4) Quick sensor recovery after a water leak. Detection cables and spot probes should be capable of being removed and wiped with a cloth or tissue paper to remove water allowing the zone to quickly reset.<br />
5) Sensitivity of the sensors, electrodes too close to each other in both water detection cable and spot probes will cause false alarms due to condensation or water droplets.</p>
<p>Using an alternating current stops electrolyses which causes the sensors to disintegrate and the system unable to detect water. The use of alternating current also allows the sensors to continually monitor for water even when submersed in water. This allows the system to quickly automatically self reset once water has been removed for the sensor with no further action by an operator to reinstate the system back to normal operation.</p>
<p>Where do our systems go</p>
<p>We have supplied systems to look for water leaks in computer rooms, server rooms, plant rooms, UPS rooms, office shower rooms, office tea areas, vending machines, high level metal beams in ice rinks, high level water pipes, under floor office heating pipes, cesspit overflow, under water tanks, Living walls, drip trays in and under air conditioning units and bunded areas for tanks. Our customers range from one of the largest online betting company’s, one of the largest and well known server room hoisting centre in London, Jersey Telecom, numerous large office blocks in London and numerous small server rooms around the UK and Ireland.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What is the best electronic cigarette starter kit to buy? we will tell you everything to consider when choosing and hwo to get the best value]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to find out about electronic cigarettes, you can accomplish this by trying electronic cigarette starter kits. There are two primary reasons these kits are commonly accepted; first of all, you can all the devices that come in electronic cigarette starter kits for a great price, and secondly, you will have all that you need for your electronic cigarette. Although you can purchase the accessories in the starter kit individually, it is much more economical if you purchase the entire kit instead.</p>
<p>Generally, starter kits are equipped with two batteries. The primary reason for this is that you will be able to use one while you keep the other charged. These starter kit batteries have a great battery life; however, it is always good to have a spare battery nearby. A few of the chargers come with attachments for USB jacks; as such, it makes it more convenient to charge for some persons. Additionally, some of the chargers that are included in these starter kits have attachments that allow them to be connected to a regular wall socket, which most persons seem to prefer. You should ensure that the electronic cigarette starter kits are equipped with some type of charger, and always remember to charge the batteries so that they do not die on you.</p>
<p>Another item that is commonly found in electronic cigarette starter kits is different cartridges. Most starter kits will have a mix of the different flavors. This enables you to experiment with the various flavors, and then decide those that you do not like and those that you prefer. Generally, these cartridges will have a life span that is similar to how long a regular pack of cigarettes will cost you. You will know that it is time to switch to a new cartridge, when you start to experience an awful taste in your mouth, after you have had a puff of the electronic cigarette. You should also ensure that the electronic cigarette starter kits that you purchase contain enough cartridges that will last you for a while.</p>
<p>Finally, electronic cigarette starter kits also include a case. The case provides you with a secure place where you can keep your electronic cigarette, while it is not in use. Due to the fact that electronic cigarettes are somewhat expensive, when you are not using them you should store them in their case; rather than disposing of them like a regular cigarette. If the electronic cigarette starter kits that you choose have no case, then you can purchase a case separately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ancient Chinese practice of feng shui is gaining popularity in the Western world. The practice of feng shui creates a balance in an environment to make it ideal for living. This is why feng shui has gotten a lot of attention especially when it comes to home decoration.<br />
Here are some feng shui tips that you can use to fill your home with positive energy.<br />
Doors and Chi<br />
Let us start with your doors. The doorway should be free from clutter. Remove the slippers or shoes that are lying around in your doorway. In feng shui, &#8220;chi&#8221; or positive energy, flows with the wind and as it enters your door, it will bring with it the smell and dirt from the slippers and shoes into your home. The Chinese believe that this can cause sickness.</p>
<p>Water<br />
In feng shui, water is the repository of chi or positive energy. This is why you should have a water feature in your home so you can keep positive energy inside. The absence of a water feature like an aquarium or water fountain would mean the chi going out of the house.<br />
You just have to take note, however, that water features must be placed in the right areas because placing it in the wrong area would mean attracting negative energies.<br />
The positioning of water elements in your home is very important because putting these elements in the wrong places could bring in bad luck.<br />
Feng Shui in your Kitchen<br />
Your refrigerator should not be opposite your stove because these appliances stand for fire and water and putting them in opposite each other mean that they clash. Clashing fire and water elements will result to frequent disagreements at home. This also goes for the stove being opposite the washbasin or the washing machine.<br />
Feng Shui in your Living Room<br />
Marble and red in the living room are not good ideas from a feng shui point of view. Marble can bring pressure at work and to cope, you can either try your way through the pressure or remove the marble table and replace it with a wooden one. The color red is not a good color for the living room. Red, which symbolizes fire in feng shui, brings pressure, obstacles and problems.<br />
These are just some feng shui tips that you can apply to your home to make it attract positive energy. qskjbs287</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A look at Plantar Fasciitis - and how this can affect your walk]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you love to walk or run all the time, there might be events when you&#8217;ve had unbearable pain in the base of your foot. The bottom of the foot, that runs from the heel to just behind the toe, is referred to as plantar fascia. On effort due to excess running and walking, the plantar fascia is thought to become inflammatory, hence giving surge to the pain.</p>
<p>Even so, it has now been learned that due to the deficit of inflammatory cells or tissues in the fascia part of the foot, this might not be swelling at all. The pain is already thought to be due to the degeneration of the fascia tissue because of too much usage. It&#8217;s a rather typical phenomenon in athletes who don&#8217;t take good care of their foot. The kind of shoes and running are necessary to prevent plantar fasciitis.</p>
<p>Plantar fasciitis usually results in heel pain, which would help make the individual think that he might be experiencing various other condition related to the heel. Then again, a gradual increase in the pain to the base of the foot may concur that the pain sensation is due to the plantar fasciitis. The pain might increase on pressing the impacted and the close by region. Considering that fascia tightens during the night, the pain sensation reaches its optimum in the morning considering that the foot is moved right after considerable relaxation.</p>
