What Happens To Solar Water Heater in Winter?

What Happens To Solar Water Heater in Winter?

Winter has arrived, and with it comes shorter days and chillier temperatures. This may leave you wondering what happens to your trusty solar water heater during these colder months. Can it still provide you with steaming hot showers and toasty dishes? The answer is yes, with a few caveats.What happens to solar water heater in winter?Buy a solar water heater in winter month from Jupiter Solar,www.jupitersolars.in.

How Does Winter Affect Solar Water Heaters?

Reduced Sunlight: The main challenge for solar water heaters in winter is the reduced amount of sunshine. Shorter days and cloudier skies mean less solar energy to absorb and convert into heat. This naturally results in lower water temperatures compared to the sunny summer months.

Cold ambient temperatures: The frigid air acts as a heat sink, drawing warmth away from the solar collectors and the storage tank. This can further contribute to a slight dip in water temperature.

Freeze Protection: In harsher winter climates, freezing temperatures are a concern. Most modern solar water heaters have built-in freeze protection measures like antifreeze solutions or drain valves to prevent damage.

So, How Hot Will My Water Be?

While you may not achieve the same scorching temperatures as in summer, your solar water heater can still perform admirably in winter. The extent of the temperature drop depends on several factors like:

System size and efficiency: Larger, well-insulated systems will fare better than smaller or older ones. Climate and sun exposure: Sunny regions with milder winters will see less impact compared to areas with prolonged cloudy skies and freezing temperatures. Backup system availability: Many systems integrate with auxiliary electric or gas heaters to boost water temperature on demand during peak demand or periods of low solar energy.

Tips for Optimal Winter Performance:

Regular maintenance: Ensure your system is clean and free of debris to maximize sun absorption. Monitor water temperature: Keep an eye on your tank temperature and adjust settings on your control panel if necessary. Utilize backup systems: Don't hesitate to use your backup heater for peak demand periods or on days with minimal sunshine. Upgrade when needed: If your system consistently struggles in winter, consider upgrading to a larger or more efficient unit.

Conclusion:

Winter doesn't spell doom for your solar water heater. While you may notice slightly cooler water temperatures, some strategic adjustments and a good backup system can ensure you still enjoy the benefits of solar-powered hot water throughout the year. Keep your system maintained, understand its limitations, and embrace the power of backup options for warm showers and a happy winter season!

[orgasming-caterpillar]

F1 Drivers As Desi Boys

A.K.A. The F1 grid as Indian guys

Also, I will be writing an entire chatfic about this AU on ao3, so stay tuned ;)

Charles Leclerc — “Charlie”

I think he would be from Mumbai. But like, he lived in the very high-end part of it so it's very hard to know right off the bat.

I just KNOW he studied abroad, okay? Italy or Canada I think. Look at his face— you just know he's the kinda guy people see on the street and think “angrej”

Speaks Hindi with a subtle but insufferable white guy accent. He can't even help it, that's just how he speaks. He once called Max “bhenchod” with the most authentic, desi accent when he was mad and they have all beaches in that high ever since.

Dropped out of university in his last year and came back to India to handle his dad's business after his dad's death.

Fell in love with the hot employee and made him the manager. Everyone knows Carlos got the position by sleeping with the new young hot boss but they stay silent to avoid getting fired.

Now lives in the same complex in Mumbai as Carlos, Max, Lando and others. Lives with his mother, two brothers and a dog.

Leo is a recurring guest in every society event no matter what. Shanta aunty ki kitty party? He's invited. Children playing cricket below? He is the referee. Security guard's dad died? Arthi Leo hi utha raha hai.

Best friends with Pierre. went to the same school as him in his childhood.

Not friendly at ALL with Max.

Carlos Sainz— “Mirchi”

Marathi Mulga for sure

Maula Mere Maula king of guy

His ass should be in a TV serial

Was a regular office worker before he fucked down his boss and now he's the manager. And, well, a win is a win, right?

His parents were kind of homophobic before he became the manager. It's hilarious, actually.

He has such a good voice. If you catch him singing one of the old bollywood songs of Lata Mangeshkar or Muhammad Rafi, consider yourself blessed by the gods.

Knows how to cook since he lives alone

Literally the guy every aunty dreams of marrying their daughter to. Manager of his office. Cooks. Cleans. Respects his elders. Funny. Charming. Every time he and Charles go out at least one middle aged person has asked Carlos if he's married yet and frankly, as his boyfriend who's Right There, Charles is pretty offended.

Have y'all seen the pictures of him in those button up shirts and trousers? The eyes that make Rahat Fateh Ali Khan songs play in your ear every time you look into them? So desi husband material

Best friends with Lando, basically brothers with his they are with each other

Like any best friend, he does NOT like Lando's boyfriend

Max Verstappen— “JATT DON'T CARE 💪🔥💯”

From Haryana

The M in Max stands for Mharo Balam Thanedar Chalawe Gypsy— jkjk

Some say he's aggressive, hot headed, quick tempered; some say he's just Haryanvi.

Is in a psychosexual homoerotic rivalry with Charles and is in denial because of his internalised homophobia.

His dad and Charles’ dad were business partners and now they're always wanting to one up another in the family businesses.

Talking about his father— his dad is very rich and also a typical Haryanvi dad. Bapu sehat ke liye haanikarak type shit.

His father made him do kushti when he was younger and Charles still teases him about it

Will randomly infodump about his father whenever the opportunity presents itself

Married

With how he usually is and what his childhood was like, you'd think he'd be a horrible father but you're WRONG

Everyone loves his daughter Prithvi, or P, for short.

They love spoiling her. Every year on her birthday she gets so many gifts it takes her two days just to open them.

Funnily enough, she once “betrayed” him by saying her favourite was Charlie Uncle.

I just think it would be so funny if he drove a Toyota Fortuner.

Lando Norris— “Lassan 🧄”

From Bangalore

Youtuber. Makes videos for every one of his channels religiously. Has a channel for gaming, another for vlogs, another for shorts and somehow manages them all while uploading reels and posting on Instagram???

He's a university student but nobody knows it because he's always posting videos so they just think he's a full time youtuber

“Shares a room” with Oscar, who is his boyfriend, by the way. You'd never guess. (that is a fucking lie. If you watch even one of his livestreams you'd know that they have explored each other's bodies. He's always “dekho guys Oscar aa gaya 😄😄😄” bro you're not fooling anyone)

Has his own merchandise. His designs are always so cool that they sell out before they're properly out.

Will probably make his own content team when he graduates

He once slipped on the desi toilet while travelling and Carlos made a reel about it. It is one of his most famous reels and Lando will absolutely ignore you if you talk about it.

Kinda fuckboyish???? Like he gives off the vibes of the kinda boy that only texts you past midnight and says shit like “what are you wearing? ;)” Like thank god he has a boyfriend or he would single handedly destroy the faith in love of every girl in a 5 kilometre radius

Oscar Piastri— “gora pakora”

From Goa

Frequently shows up on Lando's videos and livestreams

Studying engineering and living with Lando, basically taking care of him because of course he is

Regular victim of Lando's youtube shenanigans. Gets pranked one too many times every other day.

Has this kind of dead stare where he's just 😐 until Lando comes and annoys (see: kisses or pranks) him

Gets asked “bhai tu kabhi kuch bolta kyu nahi hai” so frequently he should just write “pata nahi yaar” on his face.

Has strong beef with Carlos. Do not talk about that man in front of him. Now this is really inconvenient because Carlos is Lando's bEsT FrIeNd iN tHe WoRlD

There beef started when Lando cried because he missed Oscar and Carlos showed up to Oscar's parents house asking him to square the fuck up. His parents —poor them they don't even know their son is gay— were left to wonder why their son was on a video call with his roommate OUTSIDE in the middle of winter vacation while a strange man cussed him the fuck out.

Lando can and will and DOES make him do silly dance trends with him on Instagram reels

Best friend is Logan, who studies engineering with him. You don't know how much you can depend on someone else until you're an IISER student and they're the only good friend you have.

Daniel Ricciardo— “Paaji”

From Chandigarh

Y'all remember Sodhi from Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chashma? Yeah. Him.

No one knows how he's able to control Max. Literally his best friend. Max will always have a resting bitch face but when Danny paaji is there he's all “😆😆😂😂🤣🤣” like bro 😐

I just know he would randomly say “oye balle balle balle balle balle” for no reason other than to annoy people. I just know it.

Actually works very hard and always helps people, but he's such a troll that people just think he's some unemployed youtuber with a prank channel

Absolute party animal. Do not ever in front of him mention that you're free that night.

George Russell— “nazuk kali”

From Delhi

Graphic designer. Edits Lando's videos for nim. Studies computer science.

Shared a room with Alex Albon and Logan Sargeant. Their relationship status is very complex. I'm not saying that they're a throuple, I'm not saying that they're friends. What I'm saying is that they're so dependent on each other I don't think they could function alone anymore. These three idiots make a full functional human being together. George cleans the house, Alex does the cooking and Logan does the laundry and the dishes. They manage, thanks.

George Russell is the type of guy to say “ghar pe maa behen nahi hai kya?” When he sees a girl getting catcalled.

George Russell is the type of guy to say “aapko kahin lagi to nahin?” When he bumps into someone.

George Russell is the type of guy to cover his mouth and say “uff” when he eats something spicy on accident.

On that note, George absolutely cannot handle his spice. Never bit into a raw green chilli willingly in his entire life.

You just know he eats the meethi pani puri with the red chutney and all.

Thinks momos are better than pani puri (he's wrong).

Closes his eyes and covers his ears when a condom ad or a spicy movie scene comes on the TV

Very pale because he rarely leaves his room (which— he's a computer science major, come on)

Lewis Hamilton— “dac saab”

From Kozhikode (Kerala)

Fashion influencer, gets brand deals all the time. Always promoting this brand or that.

Also actually a veterinary doctor with his own dog clinic.

Has a youtube channel where heostly makes affordable fashion tips etc but also posts the dogs at his clinic from time to time.

Spent a lot of years in South Delhi where he fell in love with a guy when he was a teenager but when he eventually moved back to Kozhikode they fell out of contact. Now he’s moved to Mumbai as he opened up a new clinic there and doesn't even know that he actually lives in the same goddamn building as the guy he fell in love with 20 years ago back in South Delhi.

I think y'all can already guess who the guy was, but if you can't (shame on you) it's Nico Rosberg.

Had a wife but she cheated so they divorced or something idk how do you justify a 40 year old guy being unmarried in India?

Loves his dogs more than anything, if there's a dog at his clinic that he can't save he will be sad for days.

Speaks Hindi in a voice that's like three octaves lower than his usual voice. Thinks he sounds bad but he sounds so damn hot.

Nico Rosberg— “thi ek.”

From South Delhi

News anchor for sure. Has a sadness in his eyes that makes you wonder if he ever got over the heartbreak he had at 19 (he did not)

Most people think his hair is dyed (it is not) because he's a chapri (he might be)

Legends say that the only time he has been seen with a smile on his face on TV was when he was talking about his childhood best friend.

The reason he doesn't anchor for any of the big or daresay political news channels is because they don't like how he compares international disputes to the fight he had with his best friend when he was 19.

Regularly travels to other metropolitan cities for news coverings (mainly sports) but lives in Mumbai for majority of the time.

In fact, lives in the same building as Lewis. The fact that they haven't run into each other in the elevator yet is a miracle (or a curse).

Will talk about love and heartbreak to anyone who would listen. You know those boys who say “thi ek” whenever someone tries to talk to them about love? Yeah that's him.

Married and has two daughters that he loves very much.

No pets because they remind him too much of Lewis.

Sebastian Vettel— “Chacha”

From Delhi

Lives in Mumbai with his wife.

Best friends with Lewis, knows everything about him and Nico.

Kind of a father figure to Charles.

The beloved colony uncle that always has the wildest stories ever. Catch him at the tea stall and just get him talking— you will be a changed man when he is done.

“Aur phir uska accident ho gaya aur usne apna haath kho diya, to uski manghetar ki family ne unse rishta tudwa liya. Jiske baad uski manghetar ki sagai mujhse hui aur phir hamari shaadi hui or shayad aaj bhi wo akela hi ek haath se apna hila raha hai bechara”

“...”

You would think considering how sweet he is, he was always this sweet but NO, this man was a MENACE.

Everyone who knew him before he got married wants him dead even now after all the years.

Fernando Alonso— "Kaka"

From Jaipur

The exact opposite of Sebastian.

The old man you see on the side of the road with paan in his mouth and a gaali on his lips

Also tells you stories from his youth and they're just as interesting but he's so arrogant about it that you're no longer interested in listening five minutes in no matter how interesting the story is

The kind of old man who sees children playing in the streets and starts acting like an overly invested referee for no reason.

Goes to the park in the morning at the same time as Sebastian but unlike him, Fernando does not let the joy and whimsy of life have any effect on him making you wonder why he's there at all

Lance Stroll— “vegan wali diet almond wala ghee 😌💅”

From South Bombay

Ameer baap ki bigri aulad

“What do you mean I can't buy the whole store?”

Y'all remember that “Mawn, terew paaw ki jewtie maawwww” girl??? Yeah

Sonam Kapoor is jealous of how much better he is at being a nepo baby

Logan Sargeant— “ye bhi thik hai”

Lives with George and Alex

From Goa

Thank god he does because he would not be surviving otherwise

Might have feelings for his roommates but all he knows how to do is wash the dishes and the clothes and he doesn't wanna die of hunger so he's silent.

Except maybe in front of Oscar but that's his best friendddd

Studying computer science too

Alex Albon— “dhokla4lifer”

From Gujarat

I might be projecting a bit but as someone who fucking LOVES dhokla, I don't see any reason as to why Alex should not.

Cooks for his two roommates, and always cooks so good.

Dhokla on Sundays and a tiffin box full of thepla and aam ka aachar whenever one of them is travelling home

Studying history and geography

Yuki Tsunoda— “momo wale bhaiya”

From Dehradun

Do not call him momo wale bhaiya. He can and will kill you.

Actually does love cooking

Has his own restaurant near the university campus

Pierre Gasly— “tantar mantar”

From West Bengal

Tired of everyone's “kaala jaadu” jokes.

Charles’ best friend and confidante.

Gossip girls. They have all the tea on everyone in the uni.

“Bokachoda”

Does sports.

Final year law student

Esteban Ocon— “Pierre's ex (he is NOT)”

From Odisha

Has beef with Pierre.

Will argue about anything from the origin of roshogulla to the state's contribution in the fight for freedom of the country.

Also final year law student

Extras—

Sergio Perez from Bihar

K Mag from Kashmir (haha get it? Because he's a track terroris—)

Nico Hulkenburg from Kashmir too

Valtteri Bottas from The Andaman Nicobar islands or something idk he shows so much ass it's unreal

Zhou Guanyu from Meghalaya

Tastes Like shakkar sounds so good! What are your top 5 books with brown or desi characters?

I enjoyed Tastes Like Shakkar a lot more than I was expecting, and have relentlessly been shilling it ever since. It's such a solid romance, the sex was good, a lot of the desi family stuff (the concept of being a "family manager") really hit, but it never took away from the main romance. Also, it's always nice to feel "seen" in the books you read even though it's pretty rare for me, but since this was specifically about Indian-Americans in the NY-NJ area, I really felt that.

Here are books with desi rep apart from Tastes Like Shakkar that are in my top 5:

Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai: I debated putting my other fave by Alisha, Serving Pleasure, on here but Wrong to Need You portrayed a less-troubled desi family dynamic than Serving Pleasure so I'm picking this. Sadia is a widowed single mom grappling with her attraction to her brother-in-law, Jackson who's just returned after a self-imposed exile related to a mysterious fire. The restrained tension between these two is so hot (ok maybe not entirely restrained; she doesn't recognize him when he first returns and nearly has sex with him lol). Also, Sadia, like Jiya below, subverts the passive Asian woman trope on multiple levels, and based on the dynamic between her and Jackson.

I also liked how Sadia's large, close-knit Pakistani-American family was portrayed; they may not see eye-to-eye all the time, but they love one another and are willing to learn and compromise.

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert: Zafir Ansari is truly a prince among men; him and Dani go viral for his rescue of her, and they start fake dating so his football charity can get some positive attention and donations. I like how Zafir was the romantic one among the two of them (and is a Bollywood romance fan, predictably), and is also great in the sack so... a winner, basically.

Also, Talia wrote this lovely exploration of grief (Zafir lost his dad and brother) and this really sweet relationship between Zafir and his SIL, and his family as a whole which I appreciated.

Sink or Swim by Tessa Bailey: I know Tessa has gotten a lot of flak for her portrayal of Latinx characters (which, deserved imo), and she's otherwise by and large stuck to writing white characters, but I can't deny she did pretty damn good job of writing Jiya and her family, who are desi, in this book. Here are my full thoughts on this.

The Roommate Risk by Talia Hibbert: Friends to lovers AND probably one of the only unrequited love books I'll ever recommend only because I love Jasmine so much (even while she's STRUGGLING to figure out that yes, Rahul has had feelings for her ever since she deflowered him on the... I wanna say library floor), and Rahul Khan is adorable and a stern, stern man who can absolutely get it. Similar to Zafir above, Rahul's dad also dies during the book (there's a lot of flashbacks) and Talia portrayed Muslim funeral customs and just the general family dynamics thoughtfully and in such an emotional way.

Hard Way by Katie Porter: lol my problematic fave because there are a few things that are just so weird in terms of rep: For one, the author keeps putting Sunita, the heroine, in "indian inspired" clothes, for example, some kind vaguely described professional suit inspired by a saree? Like, this woman is an attorney who works for a United States congressman. She's probably wearing a regular-ass suit like the rest of the people in that office. Also, her nickname in law school was the "Ice Queen of Bangalore" which was meant to be microaggressive, but the nickname literally makes 0 sense to me since she was raised in AMERICA, and considering half the Indians I know can't make the connection between being Kannadiga and possibly being from Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka, what are the chances these white mfs can, right? And the weird thing is, she narratively sort of "reclaims" her nickname, but it was such a cringe one to begin with and I don't even know why the authors bothered to put it in in the first place.

BUT Sunita is the only Kannadiga heroine I've ever read (I am. kannadiga, to clarify), she's a martial artist, she's struggling to work out her marriage with her husband (I'm a sucker for that shit), she's good with being kidnapped and zip-tied straight from the grocery store by her husband because it's a mutual fantasy, and she attends yakshagana performances (also very personal to me and my family)! Do you know how rare it is to see any of these things as far as brown heroines go? Maybe I have a lower bar for South Asian rep because there are so few romances that have South Asians who don't hate themselves/the culture AND have good sex scenes, but hopefully that will change as time goes on.

Apex Legends Coffee Shop Orders

what the legends would order before/after the games (reminder that coffee shops don't just have coffee):

Bloodhound

I don't see Houndy getting anything with espresso in it, mainly teas.

Possibly a tea latte, Earl Grey with almond milk

Most likely drinks after a long game, especially as a kind of reward if they won.

Gibraltar

Definitely would either be a lemonade/coconut milk mixed w/ fruit refresher, or specifically the paradise drink from Starbucks.

Before or after the game, definitely if he won, he'd drink on it.

Lifeline

Definitely a shaken espresso girl, keeps her awake and alert for her work. She'd either add cold foam or cream/milk to sweeten it up a bit.

Mostly before, so she has the energy to get through the game. But if she's tired after and needs the boost, she'll get it after as well.

Pathfinder

Wraith

Unable to drink, but would most likely order a strawberry creme blender if he could.

After and before, he would basically be a frequent customer.

Anything hot, with a cozy, warm taste to it, such as a chai latte with gingerbread syrup or hazel/toffee nut.

A nice, cozy after game drink to relax.

Caustic

Bangalore

Definitely something hot but basic. She barely knows coffee, so she doesn't really do anything fancy.

Can see her ordering a caramel macchiato.

Definitely after to cool off/relax.

Mirage

Just hot black coffee, dark roast.

Before and after, probably the only thing he drinks tbh.

Octane

He's constantly trying everything, forgets if he's tried one before, and gets it again. Also, always asking the barista for recommendations or what something is.

Never give him coffee, please, he doesn't shut up and his ADD/ADHD goes crazy.

He'd either order before or after/doesn't have a preference.

Wattson

Same as Mirage, he likes to try EVERYTHING, but he likes to try putting anything and everything into one single drink. Including his stim.

The barista's last brain cell eventually explodes and just gives him a latte, in which he, of course, puts his stim in it.

For the love of god, keep coffee away from him. If you think his fidgeting is bad now, just you wait, HE WILL NOT STAND STILL.

Definitely an order before a game, just to give him even more energy (that he really doesn't need).

She'd be a blender or refresher kinda girl. She'd like the smooth texture along with being able to taste the flavor more than the coffee, but she definitely would love the Star Drink from Starbucks as well.

Before or after, a nice refreshment to either get herself ready for the game or cool off after a long game.

Revenant

Crypto

Definitely just a regular chai, iced or hot, doesn't have a preference. He doesn't get anything added in it but changes the milk to either oat or almond.

Most likely sipping on it while working so before and after.

Loba

Can't drink, but if he even could, straight fucking whiskey.

Before and after, he wouldn't care.

Rampart

She would definitely get an iced white mocha with raspberry added, along with raspberry or vanilla cold foam on top and oat milk.

Definitely, after as a way to cool off (yknow how she is when she sees rev 🙄)

Horizon

She'd go for a dirty chai, it gives it a toastier taste and she loves the added espresso to give her more energy throughout the day to keep her up and working.

Before and after, probably get it before, sip on it, then come back to the same drink after and continue it.

Fuse

Medium roast with some oat milk for creamer and may add a nutty syrup to give it some flavor. But if she's in a hurry, just the medium roast, she's fine with black coffee too.

Most likely, after when she's back to her work, she might get some before if she needs a quick wake-up.

He's definitely not a coffee person, more on the alcohol side of drinking. If Houndy took him to the coffee shop, he'd probably go for a small black coffee so he could put his beer or whiskey into it to mix.

Probably after since he'd be with Houndy.

Seer

Valkyrie

Chai latte with oat milk and matcha cold foam on top. The mix between the earthy taste of matcha mixed with the cinnamon flavor of chai makes a perfect cozy combo hot or cold, and she loves it, that is, if she's not drinking.

Before and after, she'll drink it even during the game if she really wanted.

Ash

Some fruity ass shit

Definitely a refresher of some sort, mixes the strawberry acai with the passion tango tea, or the pineapple passion with the passion tango tea.

Would most likely wait until after the game.

Mad Maggie

Can't drink, but would most likely go for a medium roast over ice, added milk as creamer.

It would definitely be after the games. She deals with so much shit.

Newcastle

She'd use the coffee shop to cover up the fact that she's drinking her whiskey. She's not a beer drinker like Fuse. It's straight whiskey for her. She'd get a black coffee, roast isn't a preference, and then mix in her whiskey.

Before and after, she's tired of everyone's shit.

Vantage

Black coffee, medium roast, splash of half & half on the top, maybe some vanilla syrup or sugar cane to sweeten it.

Most likely before, to wake himself up enough and be prepared, morning coffee is a dad essential.

Catalyst

Not much of a coffee person instead prefers the non espresso drinks, especially the fruity choices. The Dragon Drink from Starbucks would be something she'd choose, especially blended.

Before or after, not a preference for her. If it was a hot day, especially after.

Ballistic

Not a hot coffee kinda girl, even in cold weather, loves iced coffee/drinks. Especially loves the tea lemonades. On a hot day, a fruity tea with lemonade, on a cold day, an iced cold brew with a nutty flavored cold foam on top.

Before or after, either works for her.

Conduit

Definitely goes to the coffee shop with Newcastle. Their dad vibes just kick it off nicely, especially when it comes to them both sharing their tastes in coffee. He likes to go for the same as him, but instead of the vanilla, toffee nut is his sweet spot.

Before if he's relaxing prior, but definitely after since he put in a lot of work.

She absolutely loves the coffee shop and goes to it every day to try something new she's never had. She's a sucker for any holiday drinks, hot or cold, especially the Christmas selection.

She tends to go after since she's always talking with the legends a lot before heading into the games.

Wigs can be made of various types of materials, both engineered and natural. In view of the type of material used, wigs can be separated into four classes generally:

1. Engineered wigs

Produced using an engineered material, these wigs are more grounded and more sturdy than genuine hair wigs. Justifiably for clear reasons. They arrive in various shapes, styles and varieties. Nonetheless, many users complain that the material isn't breathable or natural in nature.

In this way, these wigs might prompt skin rashes and even cause you to feel hot and sweat-soaked on an ordinary pleasant day. Likewise, the base material of such a wig, which is made of engineered material, doesn't mix in with the natural skin and causes a 'drifting' situation over the head.

2. Net unit wigs

These wigs accompany a net-like cap connected to the hair. The net cap might be made of a few sorts of materials, both natural and inorganic in nature. While inorganic materials incorporate engineered texture, natural materials incorporate natural textures.

The hair strands should be sewed with the base material to provide it with an appearance of a head loaded with hair. Sadly it gives out the feeling of unnatural hair development and volume.

3. Blend wigs

Blend wigs have machine-made back and side parts, while the front and the top bits are hand-tied. The front piece might use texture as a material, while the back part might be machine-made and somewhat thicker.

The hair strands used might be a blend of natural and engineered filaments. These wigs are more affordable than any remaining choices thus are widely used by the everyday person.

Dating- Shating

Last fifteen days have been an overwhelming journey. I met 5 different men and went on six dates and it has been a journey of mixed emotions. The first date I went on, I didn’t have any expectations and it went as a lot of fun- like a friend to hang out with. Sure we didn’t exchange numbers or connect again, because we both knew that we met to have a good fun time. 

 I was smitten by the second date because of his mannerisms and his interest in me, which fizzled out quickly like soda on a summer day. They give and then they take it all. He was hot because I thought he was (dumbass pheromones), then realised dude had below average intelligence and wore crocs and ankle length jeans and texted like a fish. I know I deserve better so I walked out. Dude messaged like he was all in the first two days, then withdrew like an ATM thereafter. I asked once, then figured he was just disinterested, and I knew my worth better than standing around and waiting for someone who had an EQ of a carrot. Never invest in such energy which only takes away from you. Women, have so much to give, give it someone who will also give back to you in abundance.

The third date was good, but dude just rushed his tongue in my mouth and i drove to the closest bakery to just throw up. We flirted, we walked and we had the best time, but I expected him to understand when I said we can only kiss on the cheek and not force himself in such a manner. 

Next date was fun, what a sweet kiss on the cheek too, but dude was a loser who dumped my friend after their engagement and didn’t think it important to tell me when I mentioned about my engagement being called off; dick move? Dick move! He wailed about how his ex-cheated on and played the victim card.  Having gone through something similar, I knew better than going out with this guy and unmatched with him. 

My next date was a total “steal”, dude bragged about having learnt his sex moves from a friend who consulted a prostitute. He was a step closer to calling himself the sex god because of how girls have confessed they want to marry him, after one “wonderful time” in bed. He wouldn’t shut up about living or travelling to the USA and literally had no interest in me or my profession or my life. He was sure as hell interested in my ex and why we called off nine years; "but why?" I ended up paying the dinner bill, because my shrimp was expensive, and he bad mouthed all his dates for whom he paid. I had to make this dude understand that dating a neurosurgeon like him was still a liability and girls deserve better than an arrogant loser who bragged about his sex moves on the first date. He described himself as charismatic and I tried really hard to be mesmerized by his PUMA jacket in Bangalore’s 36 degree humidity and his narcissistic ass dragging me around Bangalore Streets like we were on a mission. 

Dating is exhausting. The mind games you play with these boys takes me back to High School. Why do boys never graduate from the idea of chasing and being chased? You like a girl? Tell her and commit to it and take it forward from there. Where are the real men with real feelings and real intentions? Everyone is just so afraid of being vulnerable and showing their true side and having their feelings exposed. Why? So what if that one girl broke your heart years ago, learn from it and heal yourself and move on. You boys have caused more damage to women, who actually heal from the trauma and know what they want and put themselves out there. You play juvenile games and try to manipulate them into having some mindless animal sex and pretend like you are the stud? If you want to ultimately marry the girl your mumma shows you, should I show her your hinge profile and your unsolicited dick pictures? Maybe it would help her find a daughter in law in process within your backward community, based on her son’s preference and the asthetics of his dick.

Dating is a mess. Boys are a mess. Real men with real feeling and intention are either gay or taken or are busy with the wrong girl, paying her bills and obsessing over while she cheats on them. Work on yourself boys. Behind that fuckboi persona that you all put up, is a sensitive lad who once could love and most importantly wants to be loved. Your love doesn’t come from sexual gratification and playing mind games, it comes from owning up to your flaws, working on your issues and showing up. By the time boys translate this process,  they are in their 30s; the beautiful lush of hair has disappeared, and lack of sunscreen and skin care starts showing on their not so flawless skin and the attractive career and other attributes of your personality are mostly generic to women.  Women by this time are far out of your league and you will ultimately have to settle for what you find. Women could have multiple toys and name one after you and have the best time of their lives, without subjecting themselves to your stress and situationships. I am not hating on men here, I am hating on the process that men pick up to deal with their romantic lives and the collateral damage that they cause on the women they choose to be with. We cannot validate your sex moves or play your hot and cold texting games, we can simply return your love and affection if it comes from a genuine place and make life easier, especially in this chaotic world.

Root Canal Treatment and what are its alternatives | Credencedental

Root Canal is not a treatment, but simply a part of the tooth root, which is hollow and contains the nerve tissue, blood vessels, and cells, collectively known as the pulp. The tooth is formed of crown and roots. The crown is above the gum, while the roots are below the gum. The roots hold the tooth to the jawbone. The pulp inside the crown and the root of the tooth nourishes and provides moisture to the surroundings and underlying tissues. It is the nerves within the pulp that sense hot and cold temperatures which translate as pain.

Since I've been playing Apex nonstop....Sevika as a legend anyone? (Imma avoid the lore cuz I have yet to sit down and learn it fully yet;;)

Apex!Sevika x Reader

I'm thinking Sevika is an assault legend, probably uses her arm for special damage close range and rolls her ultimate with smth heavy. (Like Bangalore)

One the other hand, I think you would be either support, or a controller. Maybe even recon.

Anyways. I'm thinking this isn't your first rodeo. You've been apart of the Apex games way before Sevika shows up. You might look sweet, but you've had your fair share of kills.

But Sevika acts like she's a goddamn hotshot. She hits you with a sneer and chiding words to "aim next time." And even takes the time to pat you head when you're knocked down before finishing the job. (Ok look I dunno abt the lore but let's say in this au it rlly is like the game and you can revive and turn into a box when u die alright...)

So of course, in return you make sure she knows just how smug you are when you win against her. You don't get why Sevika always teases in the first place, but you sure as hell aren't letting her get away with it.

Slowly, everyone comes to know that you both have a sorta rivalry going on. Whenever anyone even mentions spotting Sevika, you're immediately dead set on knocking her down, and it's the exact same with her.

However. The fans notice too, and immediately the public see you both as the perfect set up for enemies to lovers.

You adore your fans, and always want to keep them entertained...but even you have a limit. However, this was a bloodsport, and entertainment came before your pride.

So that's how you find yourself landing on the edge of the map, doing duos with Sevika.

God. It's painful. She takes the shields you call dibs on, the guns from supply bins you open first, even the fucking knockdown shields you stumble upon!

Sevika ignores every time you suggest a location to check out, engages with the enemy without a plan, let alone a warning, and hardly ever acts like a team player. Yet?

"If you're going to be a fucking idiot and die, do it when you're on someone else's squad!" You hiss, dragging Sevika's body behind cover to revive her.

"Ugh, shit–the fucker has like, three hits left on him I swear–"

"And so do I. While he's trying to find us, think it's best to recharge ye?" You tsk, ignoring Sevika's near pout on her face and grumble that you could definitely still kill him. You played smart–played to win, but Sevika?

Honestly? You guessed this was more for the adrenaline rush than anything.

You pull out a syringe with a huff, bloody hands moving to undo her buttons Sevika raises an eyebrow, but youre immune to her subtle flirting, knowing damn well she just wants to get under your skin.

The skin just above her breasts is warm. Her chest heaves, pressing against the pads of your fingers. This close, you're breathing in her scent of gunpowder and cigarettes. Sevika grunts quickly, and her breath is hot against your ear. You nod, feeling her entire body brace before you stabbed her with the syringe. She grimaces, and you tsk, hauling her to her feet.

"Get knocked down on me again, and I'll fucking kill you." Sevika only quirks her dark lips up, and you can't help but think it's unfair. She looks breathtaking despite the mud, blood, and gunpowder covering her head to toe.

"Aw, you worried babe?" What did she just call me? Your cheeks burn at the petname, and you nearly follow through with your threat, pulling out your gun and aiming it at her.

"Huh? Wait! Y/n, are you seri–!"

However, rather than shoot her point blank you shot three times behind her. Your opponent falls to the ground, and you tilt your head in mild surprise as Sevika lets out a shaky breath.

"Huh. So it really was three."

"Well yeah, you said–wait...you were just guessing? You could have gotten us both killed!"

After that, you guys learn that you work, somehow. You get a lot more wins than when either of you are paired with someone else, and eventually you both only like teaming up together. You for the wins, and Sevika because to get a win, there's guaranteed heavy action.

However, as the malice between you two fades, the teasing becomes less superficial, the flirting has a dangerous edge to it all, and every time you come to Sevika's rescue....

Her eyes on you as you press the syringe into her exposed chest, mutter "c'mon, c'mon..." with worry are burning. They're hot as she watches you guard the door as she patches up, hungry as you down enemies easily before letting her know that was the last of the squad....and you didn't even break a sweat wiping them out yourself.

She thinks it's hot. To put it simply.

So one day. One random day of running from the ring, shooting down enemies and getting shot yourself, she goes for it.

"God Sev. How the fuck did you think you could take on three other teams like that? Why couldn't you just wait for me?" You grumble, slamming a door closed before promptly straddling the larger woman.

"Some legend you are, immediately getting gunned down." You speak as you undo her top, letting her rich, tantalizing skin be exposed to you. You glance at her face to see her eyes on you, calmly focusing in a way that infuriates you.

"God, what now? Are you even listening to me–"

"Nope. Not at all." That's it. You immediately stab her with the syringe, smirking when Sevika winces. Her body is a furnace under your legs as you lean forward to snarl.

"You're a fucking piece of shit you know that? I swear to God, I don't even know why I bother saving your ass–!" Lips stop your words mid sentence, and you gasp as Sevika suddenly leans forward to kiss you. Her hand snakes around to the back of your neck, holding you steady and she presses deeper.

Your body tingles, and your fingers holding the syringe tremble. You can't let go, she needs to heal...but she's going to kill you like this! Her metal arm is wrapping around your waist, trailing down your spine and coaxing out a whine from you. Sevika's lips curl into a smile against your own, and she hums with satisfaction.

Why is she doing this? You'd pay to know, shuddering as her teeth pull at your bottom lip when she finally lets you breathe. You huff, scarlet as a now-healed-Sevika eyes her handiwork. Your lips feel sensitive and warm, so you can only imagine how they look–kiss bruised and inviting her to do more.

"Why..." Sharply, a gunshot whizzes past your head, and both of you freeze before scrambling up onto your feet.

"How about we talk about this after we make sure not to die?"

"Definitely."

What Are Solar Water Heaters

What Are Solar Water Heaters: Harnessing Renewable Energy for Hot Water Needs

In an era where environmental consciousness and sustainable living are gaining momentum, solar water heaters have emerged as a groundbreaking solution that not only benefits the planet but also proves to be an economically viable option for homeowners. With the ability to generate hot water using sunlight, these innovative devices are transforming the way we think about energy consumption. This comprehensive guide explores the ins and outs of solar water heaters, shedding light on their technology, benefits, and potential for revolutionizing the way we heat our water.

Understanding Solar Water Heaters

Solar water heaters, as the name suggests, are systems designed to heat water using energy from the sun. This renewable energy solution is gaining popularity due to its ability to significantly reduce reliance on conventional energy sources, such as electricity or gas. A typical solar water heating system comprises solar collectors, a heat transfer system, and a storage tank. These components work in harmony to capture sunlight, convert it into usable heat, and store the heated water for later use.

Types of Solar Water Heaters

There are primarily two types of solar water heaters: active and passive systems.

Active Solar Water Heaters

Active solar water heaters employ pumps to circulate water or a heat-transfer fluid through the solar collectors. This method ensures efficient heat transfer, making it ideal for regions with colder climates.

Direct Circulation Systems In direct circulation systems, water from the storage tank is pumped through the solar collectors and then into the home. These systems are suitable for areas that do not experience freezing temperatures.

Indirect Circulation Systems Indirect circulation systems, on the other hand, use a heat-transfer fluid, such as antifreeze, to transfer heat from the collectors to the storage tank. This prevents freezing and allows for efficient heat transfer, making it suitable for colder climates.

Passive Solar Water Heaters

Passive solar water heaters do not rely on pumps or controls to circulate water. Instead, they use natural convection to move water through the system. There are two subtypes of passive systems:

Integral Collector-Storage Passive Systems (ICS) Integral Collector-Storage Passive Systems combine the collector and storage tank in one unit, eliminating the need for pumps. They are most effective in regions with moderate climates and minimal freezing temperatures.

Thermosyphon Systems Thermosyphon systems feature a storage tank located above the solar collectors. As the water heats up in the collectors, it naturally rises into the storage tank, creating a continuous cycle. These systems are suitable for regions with warmer climates.

Benefits of Solar Water Heaters

Investing in a solar water heater offers a multitude of benefits that extend beyond simply reducing energy bills. Some of the key advantages include:

Reduced Energy Costs Solar water heaters harness free energy from the sun, resulting in significant reductions in monthly energy bills. Homeowners can save substantial amounts on water heating expenses over the long term.

Environmental Impact By utilizing renewable energy, solar water heaters contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and overall carbon footprint.

Energy Independence Solar water heaters provide a degree of energy independence, as they are not reliant on external energy sources. This stability can protect homeowners from fluctuations in energy prices and supply disruptions.

Long-Term Investment Although the initial installation expense of a solar water heater may exceed that of traditional systems, the impressive long-term return on investment remains undeniable.The savings on energy bills gradually offset the initial expense, leading to substantial savings over the system's lifespan.

Low Maintenance Requirements Solar water heaters have minimal moving parts, translating to lower maintenance needs compared to conventional water heating systems. Regular inspections and basic maintenance ensure optimal performance.

Installation and Considerations

Installing a solar water heater involves several crucial considerations to maximize its efficiency and effectiveness:

Location Choosing the right location for solar collectors is essential. They should ideally be positioned to receive maximum sunlight exposure, usually facing south in the Northern Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere.

Climate The local climate plays a significant role in determining the type of solar water heater that suits your needs. Colder climates may require more complex systems to prevent freezing and ensure efficient heat transfer.

Roof Stability Before installation, assess the stability of your roof to ensure it can support the weight of the solar collectors and associated equipment.

Maintenance While solar water heaters require minimal maintenance, periodic inspections are crucial to identify any potential issues and ensure optimal performance.

Conclusion

Solar water heaters have evolved from being niche technology to a mainstream solution for energy-conscious homeowners. By harnessing the power of the sun, these systems provide an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and reliable means of heating water. As technology continues to advance, the efficiency and affordability of solar water heaters are likely to improve further, making them an even more attractive option for sustainable living. Embracing solar water heating technology is not only a step towards reducing environmental impact but also a prudent investment in a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Incorporating a solar water heater into your home offers a myriad of benefits that extend beyond financial savings. It represents a commitment to a greener planet, energy independence, and a responsible approach to natural resource utilization. As you consider your options for water heating, remember that solar water heaters not only deliver hot water but also a brighter and more sustainable tomorrow.

Embrace the future of water heating. Choose solar, choose sustainability. Visit Jupiter Solar, www.jupitersolars.in to explore your options and take the first step towards a cleaner, more energy-efficient home.

Bakery Oven Manufacturers: Crafting Quality for Modern Bakeries

In the thriving food industry, bakeries stand out for their artistry in creating breads, cakes, pastries, and other delicacies. To ensure consistent quality and freshness, bakeries rely heavily on advanced bakery ovens, making the choice of oven a pivotal aspect of their success. Behind this essential equipment are bakery oven manufacturers, responsible for creating ovens that deliver on performance, durability, and efficiency.

In India, especially in food hubs like Bangalore, bakery oven manufacturers play a critical role in supporting both small bakeries and large-scale industrial bakeries. As the demand for bakery items increases, so does the need for reliable, energy-efficient ovens tailored to different baking needs. Let’s explore the various types of bakery ovens, what manufacturers prioritize, and why Bangalore is emerging as a significant hub for bakery oven production.

Key Types of Bakery Ovens

The versatility in baking is largely due to the diversity of ovens available, each suited to a specific style or scale of baking. Bakery oven manufacturers understand these requirements and focus on crafting ovens that cater to a variety of needs:

1. Deck Ovens: Known for their consistency, deck ovens feature multiple baking surfaces (or “decks”) that can each hold several trays. These ovens use radiant heat and often feature stone decks, perfect for bread baking. They allow bakers to control each deck’s temperature, making them suitable for a range of products. Manufacturers ensure that deck ovens meet high-temperature consistency requirements, a key factor in producing high-quality baked goods.

2. Convection Ovens: Using circulating hot air, convection ovens are popular for their fast, even baking, suitable for cookies, cakes, and pastries. These ovens allow efficient baking at relatively lower temperatures and shorter times, reducing energy costs.
