Aya walked through the busy streets, snack in hand. The Ogerpon was starting to feel a bit hungry. She knew the drill for eating at the festival: make sure she’s far away from everyone, hidden away in some corner of the quiet residential area with her dads.

She soon spotted her parents among the crowds and made her way towards them, but frozen in her tracks as she drew near.

They look like….they’re having fun! Aya thought happily. While her parents always looked forward to the mask festival, they never seemed as excited as her…but seeing all three of them, even Tomo, happy and enjoying themselves like they never had before, filled Aya up with an overwhelming sense of joy.

I don’t wanna interrupt them…the Ogerpon frowned from behind her mask. Oh! I know! I’ll just go and eat my snacks really quickly and then come back so they don’t have to worry!

With her plan all figured out, Aya turned away and walked towards the distant houses with a smile.

- - -

As Aya sat down, ready to eat her goodies, something caught her eyes before she could remove her mask.

Another kid…around her age? He looked….kinda lonely.

Who spends the mask festival all by themself? Aya wondered, standing up. That’s so sad! Well, I know how to fix that!

Momo let out a squeak of alarm, cards flying everywhere as he fumbled his hand in shock.

“Oh no!” Aya let out a small gasp. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you! Here, let me help!” The Ogerpon quickly hopped off her porch and onto the Applin’s, picking up the scattered cards.

“O-oh, um…,” Momo sputtered timidly, staring at her in surprise. “Y-you….you don’t….”

“Alrightie, here you go!” Aya smiled, handing the boy a stack of messily stacked cards.

“Um….thanks…,” the Applin looked down, methodically evening out the pile.

“What game were you playing?” Aya asked, sitting down next to him.

“O-oh…um….Hanafuda,” Momo quietly replied.

“Hanafuda? I love Hanafuda!!! It’s so fun!” Aya exclaimed, startling him with her sudden raise of volume. “I only really play it a few days before the festival starts with my dads, but I wish I played it more!”

“Y-you can, if you want to,” Momo added. “It’s…well…it’s a little weird if you play it outside of the festivals, but…um….well, I guess that didn’t stop me….”

“How many times have you played it?”

“Um….I’ve been playing since I was five, and…I try to play at least one game everyday, even if it’s just against myself…”

“WOW!” Aya exclaimed, leaning close to Momo. The Applin could feel his face grow red as she doled out praise. “That's awesome!! I bet you're a- no, THE best Hanafuda player ever!! Can I please play a game with you? Pleaaaaseeeee???"

"I....um...," Momo looked down at his deck, up at Aya, then down at his deck again

"Um...okay, sure, " he nodded, starting to shuffle the deck.

"Yay!!" Aya wiggled with anticipation as he drew the first card.

- - -

Many hours and many Hanafuda games later, the sound of laughter filled the air.

"And then," Aya finished her story with a giggle. "I realized it wasn't a monster at all, but a teeny tiny Skwovet!"

Despite his initial shyness, Momo found himself chuckling along with her. It was an odd feeling, being around her...something about the young girl made Momo feel at ease...was it her excitement? Her energy? He couldn't put his finger on it, but she was unlike anyone he had ever met.

"And...that's the last season," Momo smiled, placing down his last card. "I win."

"Again?!?" Aya exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise. "Aw, darn! I'll beat you next time, I swear!"

Momo looked up at the sky, and, to his surprise, the moon was already past its highest point in the sky. "Oh...it's getting late," he frowned. "My family's probably gonna be looking for me..."

"Oh! Mine too!" Aya recalled her long forgotten pile of snacks. "It's funny....it doesn't feel like I've been playing long at all!"

"Yeah, me too...," Momo agreed. "I...I wish I could've played more with you..."

Suddenly, Aya was hit with a burst of genius.

"We don't have!" Aya smiled. "At least, not for very long! You can come visit me sometime, and we can play more then!" She pointed behind him. "I live up there in the mountains!"

"In the mountains? Woah..." Momo's eyes shone with awe. "Your family must be really strong if they live that far up..."

"Hehe, they are!" Aya bragged, placing her hands on her hips in pride. "I know a really cool clearing that's perfect for playing games! We can meet there!"

"Oh that sounds fun! Um....," he paused. "But how will we recognize each other...?"

"Ooh! We can wear our masks!" Aya suggested. "If we can play Hanafuda outside of the festival, why can't we wear our masks, too?"

"Ooh...good point," Momo nodded in agreement. "That....sounds good to me!"

"Yay!" Aya smiled and pulled the unsuspecting boy into a hug.

In her arms, Momo felt all the tension that had built up over the festival finally release...his posture relaxed as he lightly embraced her back, a small smile forming underneath his mask.

"AYAAAAAAA!" Upon hearing her name, the young girl hesitantly broke the hug. "Oh, that's my Oto-San!" She told him. "Well, I'll see you soon!! It was nice to meet you, Momo!"

As the Ogerpon ran off, the Applin shly waved to her. "Good-bye, Aya..!"

- - -

"Oh, thank goodness you're alright," Tomo embraced his daughter tightly, finally letting go of the breathe he hadn't realized he was holding.

"Sorry, Oto-San," Aya shyly apologized. "I didn't mean to scare you! You guys were having so much fun and I didn't wanna interrupt you...plus, I was with a friend, so i was safe!"

"Well, I'm glad you're alright," Miu sighed, gently stroking her head.

"Do you need to be carried back?" Kenji asked, kneeling down to Aya's level.

"Nope! I'm not quite tired yet!" The Ogerpon replied. "I bet I can walk all the way back by myself!"

"We'll see about that," Miu chuckled.

"Please don't push yourself too hard," Tomo added.

"Don't worry, I wont!" Aya replied with a grin.

AYA, HER DADS, AND MOMO HAVE LEFT THE FESTIVAL

Weep Holes: An Essential Component For Structural Integrity

The world of construction methodologies is vast, dynamic, and continuously evolving. Among the myriad of procedures and mechanisms crucial to the development of robust structures, a particularly crucial yet often overlooked feature is the ‘weep hole.’ In this blog, we delve deeper into what weep holes are, focus mainly on their application in cinder block structures, reasons for their installation near the footing, and the benefits that they provide related to relieving water trapped within a structure.

To begin with, let’s establish what Weep Holes are. Weep holes, as the name suggests give an image of something that exudes, seeps out, or, indeed, weeps. In construction parlance, they are purposely drilled in a structure to allow the movement of water or to let it escape from within.

Though these holes can be integrated into several types of structural system, their use is widely popular in cinder block constructions. Cinder blocks, also known as concrete masonry units, are commonly used in residential as well as commercial construction due to their affordability, strength, and insulation properties. Their design usually involves hollow cores, or cavities, that can unintentionally trap water within. Whether it’s from groundwater, landscape irrigation, or rainfall, the cinder block can host this water, giving birth to many potential issues such as mold, mildew, efflorescence, or even structural failure if water freezes and expands.

Therefore, to alleviate these concerns, weep holes are drilled into the cinder blocks, typically in the bottom row and near the footing. Placed lower down because water tends to flow to the lowest point due to gravity, these openings play a vital role in the overall health and longevity of the structure.

When water is present in the hollow cavities of the cinder block, the weep holes facilitate an escape route. But it isn’t just about aiding drainage; these holes also play an essential part in the structure’s ventilation, helping trapped moisture to dry up more quickly.

One might wonder–why near the footing? The footing of a building is the lowest part of the structure, usually installed below ground level. For blocks near the footing, water accumulation is most likely due to their proximity to the ground. To prevent rising dampness creeping up into the structure and ensure optimal effectiveness, weep holes are strategically drilled near the footing.

One concern that often arises about weep holes is the threat of small creatures or pests entering through them. To prevent this, weep holes are generally covered with plastic, steel, or another type of mesh to allow water escape but deter critters.

Let’s sum up the importance of weep holes: They are not a construction afterthought but an essential design feature engineered to prolong and conserve the structural integrity of cinder block structures, whether they be a garden wall, chicken coop, house, or commercial building. By simultaneously promoting ventilation and facilitating the drainage of trapped water within the cinder blocks’ hollow cavities, weep holes help to prevent the onset of undesirable moisture issues, water damage, and structural instability.

So the next time you come across some random, small holes in a structure, remember, they aren’t gaps in design or construction; they’re mitigating water damage one drop at a time. This is the importance of an often overlooked, yet vital construction element – the weep hole.

Friday 15th November 2024

A relaxing first night in our miner's rest. This is a very comfortable and well equipped property. There are 3 units in total here at number 12, and I suspect that through Airbnb, the guests are mainly connected to the mining industry. Mount Isa has been one of two major domestic sources of copper since 1953 when it became a one-stop shop for copper production — mine, concentrator, and smelter all next door to each other. Twenty percent of the Mount Isa Mines personnel live in the town, with most of the remainder working in supporting industries. One percent of the world's copper is mined here. Sadly, controversy is mounting because Swiss company Glencore, is planning to cease copper mining here next year and smelting here by 2030. A lot of government involvement here clearly with jobs at stake, the profile of this is pretty high. A town of nearly 20,000 people depends on this industry for its future. New open cast copper mining opportunities are proposed for Cloncurry 100kms away, but a decision is pending for 2026. Big challenges ahead, I guess.

Our first stop this morning was to the Tourist Information Office to find out what needs to be done around these parts. The must do event was the Hard Times Mine Tour, departing 13.00. We were offered concessions, so what's not to like? This was 10 am, so we had some time to kill, which we used highly productively looking round mining exhibits. Then, before the mine tour was to commence, we crossed the road to the City Lookout, which commemorates the spot where in February 1923, John Campbell Miles, a prospector, by chance spotted some yellow and brown rock, which when split open was black and honeycomb colour. When samples were analysed in Cloncurry, the results showed high levels of lead and silver; cerussite, a lead carbonate. And from this, a mining industry in Mount Isa was born. From this lookout, we could survey the whole of the city, from mine to the retail areas, to residential streets. Viewing the tree lined grid system roads, it was like looking down on Milton Keynes with a big dirty mine in the middle of it; the ever present tall copper and lead smelter chimneys overseeing and dominating the skyline!

Now it was time for our two and a half hour tour of the mine. This facsimile 25m deep mine was dug out in 2003, designed by the mayor and experienced miners to be as accurate a copy of a real mine, in size, equipment, procedure, sound, dirt etc. An experienced miner of 45 years of service led the tour. We started by descending into the ground in an authentic lift. Clothed in bright orange overalls, helmet, helmet light, boots we emerged into the darkness of the pit head, and we all turned on our lights, boarded a pit train and taken to a muster junction control area where tokens were kept, one for each miner monitoring and accounting for all in the mine. As a muster point, it was a place where lunch would also have been taken. We were lead on foot through the tunnels, having demonstrations of mine drilling equipment through the ages. All of it was extremely heavy; all rock mined by explosive and then moved onto trains. It is not a career for the faint-hearted. I felt tired just looking at the drills. The drill action was more of a hammer and chisel; bang and turn chisel, bang, turn etc. These old drills still worked as intended as we held onto an operating one, we were very aware of the weight and vibration, experiencing just how tough a job this would be. Drilling horizontally into the rock face would have been exhausting in extreme heat. Drilling into the roof almost impossible, but a team of two men would drill sufficient depth into the face, charge all the holes with explosive, clear the section, ignite through a chain reaction and extend the tunnel by six feet every day. Loose rock was removed to the surface for crushing and mineral extraction. As we moved through the decades, the work became more productive with heavier mechanised equipment until you reach the equipment of today which can use high pressure water or lasers to drill into the rock in readiness for explosive. More productive, certainly, easier work? I don't think so. Powerful ventilation fans, trains, massive dumper trucks, hammer drills, and explosions must have been deafening, working 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. Our guide, Steve, after a lifetime in the industry, would not wish to change anything, but regrets now the damage to his health having been diagnosed with the miner's disease silicosis, losing part of one lung and the knowledge that soon he will need to be on oxygen.

Such an excellent authentic afternoon spent being shown and having demonstrated a way of life totally alien to anything within our own experience, by someone who has lived through it himself and was able to patiently portray it, often humorously to us. Great value, and we were served hot pasties and coffee.

ps. We got to keep the overalls, so dead useful if we decide to take up mining at some point. Steve wanted the helmets back!

pps. As we sat enjoying our evening SB and nibbles, we watched plane after plane leaving Mount Isa from its tiny airport. Like many mining operations, a percentage at the workers are FIFOs, fly in, fly out Friday. It's clearly a nice town, but not that nice.

Upstream Oil and Gas Production and Community COVID-19 Case and Mortality Rates in California, USA - Published Nov 7, 2024

Wiley's urls never embed correctly.... An interesting study connecting oil and gas production pollution with higher rates of covid 19 mortality.

Abstract Higher concentrations of ambient air pollutants, including PM2.5 and NO2, and other pollutants have been found near active oil and gas wells and may be associated with adverse COVID-19 outcomes. We assessed whether residential exposure to nearby oil and gas production was associated with higher rates of the respiratory infection COVID-19 and related mortality using a population-based ecological study in California. Using gridded population estimates, we estimated area-level exposure to annual average oil and gas production volume from active wells within 1 kilometer (km) of populated areas within census block groups from 2018 to 2020. We geocoded confirmed cases and associated deaths to assess block group case and mortality rates from COVID-19 from February 2020 to January 2021. We fit hierarchical Poisson models with individual and area covariates (e.g., age, sex, socioeconomic disadvantage), and included time and other interactions to assess additional variation (e.g., testing, reporting rates). In the first 4 months of the study period (February–May 2020), block groups in the highest tertile of oil and gas production exposure had 34% higher case rates (IRR: 1.34 95% CI: 1.20, 1.49) and 55% higher mortality rates (MRR: 1.52 95%: CI: 1.14, 2.03) than those with no estimated production, after accounting for area-level covariates. Over the entire study period, we observed moderately higher mortality rates in the highest group (MRR: 1.16 95%: CI: 1.01, 1.33) and null associations for case rates.

Key Points

Using gridded population estimates, we estimated exposure to oil and gas production in areas within 1 km of an active well

We observed higher reported case and mortality rates in areas with higher estimated oil and gas production from February to May 2020

We geocoded COVID-19 cases and deaths to census block groups and estimated age and sex-specific mortality rates from February 2020 to January 2021

Plain Language Summary Exposure to air, noise, light pollution and other localized stressors from active oil and gas drilling may affect the immune and cardiovascular systems and respiratory health, including diseases such as COVID-19. This study reports on COVID-19 case and death rates in communities within 10 km of active oil and gas production. We observed that California communities that were located less than 1 km from an actively producing oil and gas well were more likely to have higher COVID-19 case and death rates in the first 4 months of the pandemic, especially when the level of production was high. Across our entire study time (February 2020–January 2021), we did not observe higher rates of cases or deaths in these communities, except for deaths in communities with the highest amount of production. These results suggest that if there is an effect of oil and gas production on COVID-19 rates, it may be on the number of people that become severely ill; overall, it suggests that more research may help to understand why different communities had different levels of COVID-19.

Excerpt from this story from Inside Climate News:

The future is bright for a little known yet highly efficient method of heating and cooling, a new report by the U.S. Department of Energy concludes.  

Ground source heat pumps could heat and cool the equivalent of 7 million homes by 2035—up from just over 1 million today, according to the report. 

Such widespread use would reduce peak demand on the country’s electric grid by 12 gigawatts in the summer and 40 gigawatts in the winter, according to the report. That’s equivalent to keeping dozens of coal- or gas-fired power plants offline during such periods of high demand.

“There are really large potential grid savings and benefits when these systems get adopted at scale,” Jigar Shah, director of the agency’s Loan Programs Office, said during a Thursday event on the report.

Ground source heat pumps harness low-temperature geothermal energy to heat and cool homes. The devices are similar to the more widely deployed air source heat pumps, which work like air conditioners, using fans and compressors to draw heat out of buildings in the summer. Unlike air conditioners, heat pumps also work in reverse, pulling heat into buildings to warm them in winter.

When outdoor air temperatures spike in the summer or plummet in the winter, air source heat pumps have to work harder, making them less efficient. However, ground source heat pumps typically draw heat from underground wells drilled several hundred feet down, or fields of pipes buried just beneath the surface of the earth, where temperatures are approximately 54 degrees Fahrenheit year round. This makes them a highly efficient source of heating and cooling throughout the year. 

“They essentially offer this cost-effective solution for heating and cooling, and the reason that matters is because a significant portion of U.S. energy consumption, of global energy consumption, goes towards space heating and cooling,” said Lauren Boyd, head of the Energy Department’s Geothermal Technologies Office.

The report, released last week, is among the Liftoff Reports the agency has published since 2022 as part of a larger effort under the Biden administration to accelerate the deployment of clean energy technologies to the point where they achieve “liftoff” or widespread commercialization. Prior reports have focused on advanced nuclear, clean hydrogen and offshore wind energy, among others.

High capital costs, including the expense of drilling wells and laying pipes underground, pose a challenge to wider ground source heat pump adoption. While the devices’ high efficiency pays off over time, installation costs for the typical residential system are $19,000 after tax incentives, according to the report.

I am actually doing a WIP Wednesday on the proper day! Tagging @orfeoarte

Here's some info about the Dear Brother version Cheydinhal Sanctuary.

Speaking of which, there’s something important to note about the Cheydinhal Sanctuary: it was one of very few located inside a layperson settlement. Not intentionally, mind you. I’m told its entrance within a house’s basement had been there for centuries, but back then, it was on the outskirts of what was once an easily-accessible village. When a past leader finally set stonemasons to the task of building walls around the growing city, the Sanctuary’s entrance was unknowingly included and encircled. Our merry little band had to make do digging an alternate entrance out to an old well beyond the wall. I'm sure the Hand of the time was mightily annoyed by the decision, enough to start hissing like a cornered Senche at the powers-that-be. Some tantalizing bribery here, some threats of violently drawn-out death there … typical Hand fare, you know the drill. We’ve had a productive agreement with Cheydinhal Counts and Countesses ever since, though! The home was kept up and rebuilt over time with some generous donations of city gold, yet it remained officially unspoken of and - more importantly - unoccupied.

The aforementioned well was still in frequent use as a primary passage these days, but Speaker decided on the city entrance today.

“Birds first,” he explained quietly as we continued on through the Stendarr Chapel plaza.

“Got it,” I muttered in return, and that was all.

We meandered south down cobbled roads into residential areas, then, when no one was looking, we dipped into an alley between the buildings. Our ‘abandoned’ house sat nearer to the city wall, unseen from the street and easily-forgotten behind several other buildings. From the outside, it looked like an unremarkable home which had simply been weathered by the years. Ivy crawled up its walls and clung to the underside of its eaves. Several tiles were long missing from its rooftop slopes. All of the windows remained tidily boarded up for privacy - with the exception of one on the second floor. There, a murder of crows perched quietly on the sill, watching us approach.

For the wip ask game

10022? I have no idea what it could be

yes! 10022 is a fic i have that is just...tons of little sections that i have no idea how to make into a "plot." i almost think it...won't have a plot? just a series of vignettes in chronological order. it's a fic about someone finally risking it all, or trying to, in order to discover themselves a little, and that's an ongoing process so it kind of doesn't naturally have plot?

that someone is of course frank, and this fic is about his season living in new york and playing with NYCFC. this is my favorite player era of his for a lot of reasons. i actually don't know where you're from so i'll assume you're not from the US just for this purpose (i'm really sorry if i assumed wrong!!) 10022 is the zip code (postal code) for the neighborhood where frank lived in manhattan--midtown east. it's weirdly a neighborhood that i like a lot, and i'm generally no longer a fan of manhattan and now that i don't work there i try to Avoid it--it's just very very noisy and crowded and too many of the worthwhile stores and restaurants that i loved have shut down post-covid or bc of stupid high rents. but this neigborhood is an interesting mix of Huge Buildings, some touristy places, and then as you walk east toward the river it becomes sort of...insular? like just residential buildings with stores geared toward the local population. most of the neighborhood doesn't have very convenient public transit access, so if you walk a couple blocks in you feel kind of cut off from everything else. it suits frank well i think.

wow, i still haven't said what this fuckin fic is about lol. my theory is that in new york he was alone for the first time in his life--no dad to harass him, and while i think christine visited plenty (i mean, london-new york is one of the easiest international flights around, and she certainly could afford it), she does live tv so it wasn't like she could work from home. so frank had all this time to 1) be the Elder Good Example (37 years old) to a team just starting out with a bunch of Young Lads, and 2) to try to be brave enough to explore the sexuality he's known he's had for decades. as part of the fic, he nervously looks up gay bars and ventures off to pick up men, and they're certainly very interested, but he always chickens out at the last minute. i think he's afraid in general, and also the guys aren't...cousin jamie.

something else that makes me want to write this is the way frank talks about living in NYC--he truly loved it here, and a lot of his favorite places/restaurants were not rich people/tourist traps (also one of them is literally down the block from me, lol) and i find that very touching. i appreciate his appreciation for this pain in the ass hometown of mine. i also really think he enjoyed the relative anonymity and the attitude toward things, as part of his Gay Explorations:

If home is the place where you can relax and take the pressure off, then New York City is already home.  The only expectations of him here are professional ones. He can do those things, or try his best to. He can move the ball down the pitch, intimidate the opponent, smash the ball into the net the way it was drilled into him decades ago, score some confident penalties, and mentor the young lads (in football, anyway--regardless of what José has said, he's the last person who should be teaching anyone how to be a Man.) and if he can't do all that, at 36, then he'll know he gave it a good try, and the fans in royal blue will still love him all over the world.  But personally? He's alone as long as nobody is visiting, and being alone in New York will be different from London. He's looked it up. London is the slightly bigger city, in terms of the population, but New York has a firm culture of mind your own damn business and you better not be staring at me and if you saw something no you didn't.  Anything could happen.  If no one saw something you could do anything, really.

getting to write something in a place i'm very familiar with is really fun--i can load it up with authentic details, including stuff that was going on in the social backdrop of the city, weird weather, etc. (though, MLS seasons work differently than a lot of the big european league seasons because of the very cold winters we (used to) have in a lot of the country, so i got confused by dates/timing as usual and kinda gave winter 2016 some of our weird winter 2015's attributes...oh well literally no one will know)

sorry this was a lot to say very little. this fic is really fun to write but i just kind of work on it at random bc there's no plot, haha. i have a scene i kinda recently started working on where frank takes young english lad jack harrison to this diner down the block from his house, but it's not a date! not a date at all! look frank's got his wedding ring on!

here is another excerpt hahah

[thessalian]

Thess vs Curiosity Catnip

Well, something was going on in my borough this afternoon...

Okay, let's start with the simple, the normal, the fucking annoying.

Typing queue's back up in the mid 300s. I have not been asked to do overtime yet. I figure it's coming, though. Doesn't help that my colleagues are working mega-slow (except Temp, who's on her third week of annual leave; it's bad enough the rest of the shit she does, but she can't even be bothered to stagger her leave days?), but honestly it's mostly that we had so many doctors in generating like 400 reports over the course of today, and we couldn't even get through all of yesterday's, which suggests that someone was in over the weekend again. Yeesh.

Stepfather came in to check out my intercom whosit. Turns out it was a simple fix, and entirely down to cheap, lackadasical installation. See, we had a different intercom box before, and the screw placement to mount the old one to the wall was different than what was needed in the new one. So instead of doing some measurements and drilling things properly, they just kind of threw a screw in and got it as far into the wall as they could. Which meant that a screw head was sticking up into the wiring and eventually things jostled just enough to have it nudge a wire and disconnect something vital. So my stepfather took the screw out, reassured me that the intercom will be fine hanging on the wall with the two screws it has, tested the whole thing (I can buzz the door open again! I can accept deliveries without hobbling down the stairs! HUZZAH!), took the good-sized chunk of banana bread I cut for him (and some of my snickerdoodles, because I am not a monster), and left. So something good happened today.

Anyway. Then came the bit I'm going to be wondering about for days.

See, after work, I had to pop down to the corner shop for a couple of items, and as I'm walking down the road, the following comes zooming past me at high speed:

White transit van

Totally Nondescript Car with a police light bubble flashing on the roof and sirens blazing, riding the white transit van's bumper

A police motorcycle, also lights and sirens, following at a halfway safe distance

This little conga line roars up the nearby hill and disappears around a corner. And then not two minutes later, police car with sirens and lights going turns up from a cross-street and right up the same way as the other speeding vehicles.

I should mention that this area has a speed limit of about 20mph, partially because it's a stone's throw from two schools, three parks, and a residential home for blind people.

And then I notice another noise and look up. That's helicopters. Multiple. Hovering over my little section of London.

And I'm going to spend days wondering what the fuck Mr Transit Van did. And hope that none of the speeding vehicles in my neighbourhood - criminal or police - hit anybody.

From Extraction to Usage: The Lifecycle of Natural Gas

The journey of natural gas from the depths of the earth to the blue flames on a stove is a complex and multifaceted process. As a fossil fuel, natural gas plays a pivotal role in the global energy supply, accounting for approximately 24% of global energy consumption. This narrative will traverse through the lifecycle of natural gas, highlighting the intricacies involved in its extraction, processing, transportation, and usage, as well as its environmental and economic impacts.

Extraction and Production:

Natural gas extraction begins with geological surveys to identify promising reserves, followed by drilling either on land or offshore. In 2022, the United States, one of the largest producers, extracted approximately 99.6 billion cubic feet per day. The extraction often employs techniques like hydraulic fracturing, which alone contributed to around 67% of the total U.S. natural gas output in 2018. The extracted gas, containing various hydrocarbons and impurities, requires substantial processing to meet commercial quality standards.

Processing and Purification:

Once extracted, natural gas undergoes several processing steps to remove water vapor, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and other contaminants. This purification is essential not only for safety and environmental reasons but also to increase the energy efficiency of the gas. Processing plants across the globe refine thousands of cubic feet of raw gas each day, ensuring that the final product delivered is almost pure methane, which is efficient for burning and less polluting than unprocessed gas.

Transportation:

Transporting natural gas involves an expansive network of pipelines covering over a million miles in the United States alone. In regions where pipeline infrastructure is not feasible, liquified natural gas (LNG) provides an alternative. LNG exports from the U.S. reached record highs in 2022, with approximately 10.6 billion cubic feet per day being shipped to international markets. LNG carriers and storage facilities are integral to this global trade, making natural gas accessible worldwide.

Storage:

Strategic storage ensures that natural gas can meet fluctuating demands, particularly during peak usage periods. Underground storage facilities can hold vast quantities; for instance, the U.S. can store approximately 4 trillion cubic feet of gas, helping to manage supply and stabilize prices. These reserves play a critical role in energy security and in buffering any unexpected disruptions in supply.

Distribution:

Natural gas distribution is the final leg before reaching end-users. Companies manage complex distribution networks to deliver gas to industrial facilities, power plants, commercial establishments, and residences. The U.S. alone has over 2 million miles of distribution pipelines, ensuring that natural gas accounts for nearly 30% of the country’s electricity generation and heating for about half of American homes.

Usage and Consumption:

The versatility of natural gas makes it a preferred source for heating, cooking, electricity generation, and even as a feedstock for producing plastics and chemicals. In the residential sector, an average American home might consume about 200 cubic feet per day for heating and cooking. For electricity, combined-cycle gas turbine plants convert natural gas into electricity with more than 60% efficiency, significantly higher than other fossil-fueled power plants.

Environmental Considerations and Future Prospects:

While natural gas burns cleaner than coal, releasing up to 60% less CO2 for the same energy output, it is not without environmental challenges. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, can escape during various stages of the natural gas lifecycle. However, advances in technology and regulatory measures aim to mitigate these emissions. As the world leans towards a lower-carbon future, the role of natural gas is pivotal, with investments in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies and the potential integration with renewable energy sources.

How to Properly Install Vertical Blinds in Your Living Room

Vertical blinds are an excellent choice for living rooms, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. They help control light, offer privacy, and add a modern touch to any space. Proper installation ensures they operate smoothly and last for years. Follow this step-by-step guide to install vertical blinds in your living room efficiently.

Choosing the Right Vertical Blinds

Before installing vertical blinds, selecting the right type is crucial. Consider the material, color, and style that best suits your living room decor. Vertical blinds are available in fabric, PVC, and aluminum options, each offering different levels of durability and maintenance requirements.

For homeowners in Ottawa and Gatineau, high-quality window solutions are essential. Investing in High-Quality Elite Windows Ottawa for Residential Homes ensures a well-insulated space, making vertical blinds a great addition for both aesthetic and functional purposes.

Measuring Your Windows Accurately

To achieve a perfect fit, take precise measurements of your windows. Use a measuring tape and follow these steps:

Width Measurement: Measure the width of the window from edge to edge. If installing inside the window frame, measure at the top, middle, and bottom.

Height Measurement: For inside mount blinds, measure from the top of the window to the sill. For outside mount blinds, extend the measurement beyond the window frame for full coverage.

Additional Considerations: Account for obstructions such as window handles and locks that might interfere with the blinds.

Once you have the measurements, purchase blinds that fit your window dimensions perfectly. If you are in Gatineau, selecting vertical blinds Gatineau retailers offer ensures local availability and professional assistance.

Preparing for Installation

After selecting your blinds, gather the necessary tools for installation:

Drill with appropriate drill bits

Measuring tape

Pencil

Level

Screwdriver

Mounting brackets (included with blinds)

Screws and anchors

Ensure you have all components of the blind set before starting the installation process. If you’re upgrading your home’s window treatments along with new installations, considering High-Quality Elite Windows Ottawa for Residential Homes is a valuable investment.

Installing the Mounting Brackets

Mounting brackets are crucial for securing the blinds. The type of mount—inside or outside—determines where the brackets should be placed.

Inside Mount Installation

Position the brackets inside the window frame, ensuring they are level and evenly spaced.

Mark the drill hole locations with a pencil.

Drill pilot holes and secure the brackets using screws.

Outside Mount Installation

Hold the brackets above the window frame or directly onto the wall, depending on how far you want the blinds to extend.

Mark the hole positions and drill pilot holes.

Secure the brackets using the provided screws and anchors if necessary.

Ensuring precise alignment prevents uneven blinds and allows for smooth operation.

Attaching the Headrail and Vertical Slats

Once the brackets are in place, attach the headrail, which holds the slats.

Snap the headrail into the brackets by pressing it firmly until it clicks into place.

Attach the vertical slats by hooking them onto the headrail’s clips. Make sure they are evenly spaced for a uniform look.

Test the movement of the slats by rotating them with the wand or chain control.

Vertical blinds complement modern homes, particularly when paired with High-Quality Elite Windows Ottawa for Residential Homes, providing a seamless and stylish finish.

Adjusting and Finalizing the Installation

After attaching the blinds, make the necessary adjustments to ensure smooth operation:

Check alignment by ensuring all slats move freely without obstruction.

Trim the slats if needed for a better fit, particularly for windows with unique dimensions.

Secure the wand or chain control at a convenient height for easy accessibility.

For homeowners in Gatineau, opting for vertical blinds Gatineau suppliers can help ensure you receive high-quality blinds tailored to local climate conditions.

Maintenance and Care for Longevity

Regular maintenance ensures vertical blinds remain in top condition for years. Here are some simple care tips:

Dust regularly using a microfiber cloth or vacuum attachment.

Wipe down vinyl or PVC slats with a damp cloth to remove stains.

Deep clean fabric blinds by removing them and washing according to manufacturer instructions.

Lubricate the track system if you notice any stiffness when opening or closing the blinds.
