The Kitchen Wellness: Enjoy Health with Alkaline Water

It is necessary to mention that receiving quality and affordable healthcare has become the top preference for people nowadays. Given the numerous health benefits that it has, integrating health with alkaline water is among the many ways through which one can enrich his/her welfare. This not only ensures good health but also increases the living standard in the kitchen you sparsely give attention to.

It is now time to look at how OSG alkaline water and other ionized water solutions can revitalize your health and kitchen.

What is Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water refers to ionized water that has an increased pH level. PH stands for the power of hydrogen and it is a measurement of how acidic a substance is and or how much alkaline it is with acidic ranging from 0 to 7 and alkaline from 7 to 14.

The transparency of regular tap water is moderate while the pH is slightly neutral at a figure of 7. There is a connection between acidity in the body and different diseases. The pH of the OSG-ionized water ranges from 8 to 9. It can decrease the acidity of the blood, increase metabolism, and help people have more energy.

Benefits of Alkaline Water

Enhances Hydration

Alkaline water is better to drink than regular water since it hydrates the body better. The smaller molecules present in OSG ionized water are easier to incorporate in the cells and therefore it encourages better hydration.

Detoxifies the Body

If you drink alkaline water it will help you filter the external toxins such as alcohol or processed foods, thus helping the liver and kidneys in the detoxification procedure.

Improves Bone Health

There are some studies supporting the hypothesis that drinking alkaline water can support bone health by inhibiting bone resorption, or in other words bones break down and release minerals into the bloodstream.

Supports Immune Function

Alkaline water can regulate the level of acidity in the body. This assists in strengthening the immune system, thus increasing the ability to combat diseases.

Kitchen Wellness Required: Incorporating Alkaline Water

Cooking with Alkaline Water

The use of alkaline water for cooking can help you get the kitchen wellness required. It will help you enhance the taste and quality of cooked foods. It can also improve the taste of vegetable soup, pasta, and rice dishes as well as many others.

Alkaline Water for Cleaning

Another benefit of using this water is that it serves as a natural cleaning solution in the kitchen. As it has a higher pH level it will assist in removing grease and dirt without the use of detergents.

Drinking Alkaline Water Daily

There is a strong connection between health with alkaline water. So, to have a healthy body through the use of alkaline water, one should take 8-10 glasses of Alkaline water daily. This helps the body to get sufficient water intake and also to keep the body’s acidity level normal.

Conclusion

When it comes to how to get the kitchen wellness required and introduce alkaline water to your kitchen, choosing products is fundamental. OSG alkaline provides the best solutions out there, which are professionally manufactured alkaline ionizers, water filtration systems, and many others. The brand’s sophisticated equipment makes your water not just alkaline but purified from chemical compounds that make them perfect to have in any kitchen wellness inventory. Therefore, by incorporating these small changes and incorporating alkaline water into your routine you can improve your overall health and kitchen wellness. Start today to be healthier with OSG-ionized water.

I've been chipping at a new oni save recently and I have to say I have gotten way less ambitious with my teleporter planet over my past few saves. In a lot of my earlier saves Id dive right in there, but nowadays I find myself ignoring the teleporter for a good while before dipping in to set up some basic utilities there before leaving again and continuing to stall lol

Q&A: Tips for viewing the 2024 solar eclipse

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/qa-tips-for-viewing-the-2024-solar-eclipse/

Q&A: Tips for viewing the 2024 solar eclipse

On Monday, April 8, the United States will experience a total solar eclipse — a rare astronomical event where the moon passes directly between the sun and the Earth, blocking out the sun’s light almost completely. The last total solar eclipse in the contiguous U.S. was in 2017, and the next one won’t be until 2044.

If the weather cooperates, people across the United States — from northeastern Maine to southwestern Texas — will be able to observe the eclipse using protective eyewear. Those in the path of totality, where the moon entirely covers the sun, will have the best view, but 99% of people in the continental U.S. will be able to see a partial eclipse. Weather permitting, those on the MIT campus and the surrounding area will see 93 percent of the sun covered, with the partial eclipse starting at 2:15 p.m. and reaching its peak around 3:29 p.m.

Brian Mernoff, manager of the CommLab in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, is an accomplished astrophotographer and science educator. Mernoff is headed to Vermont with his family to experience the totality from the best possible angle — but has offered a few thoughts on how to enjoy the eclipse safely, wherever you are.

Q: What should viewers expect to see and experience with this solar eclipse?

A: When you’re watching TV (the sun) and your toddler, dog, or other large mammal (the moon) blocks your view, you no doubt move over a bit to try to get a partial or full view of the TV. This is exactly how the path of totality works for an eclipse. If you are exactly in line with the moon and sun, it will be completely blocked, but if you start moving away from this path, your view of the sun will start to increase until the moon is not in the way at all.

The closer you are to the path of totality, the more of the sun will be blocked. At MIT, about 93 percent of the sun will be blocked. Those in the area will notice that things around you will get slightly darker, just like when it starts to become overcast. Even so, the sun will remain very bright in the sky and solar glasses will be required to view the entirety of the eclipse. It really goes to show how incredibly bright the sun is!

Within the narrow path of totality, the moon will continue to move across the sun, reaching 100 percent coverage. For this short period of time, you can remove your glasses and see a black disk where the sun should be. Around the disk will be wispy white lines. This is the corona, the outermost part of the sun, which is normally outshone by the sun’s photosphere (surface). Around the edges of the black disk of the moon, right as totality begins and ends, you can also see bright spots around the edges, known as Bailey’s Beads, caused by sunlight shining between mountains and craters on the moon.

But that’s not all! Although you will be tempted to stare up at the sun throughout totality, do not forget to observe the world around you. During totality, it feels like twilight. There is a 360-degree sunset, the temperature changes rapidly, winds change, animals start making different sounds, and shadows start getting weird (look into “shadow bands” if you have a chance).

As soon as totality ends, and you start to see Baily’s Beads again, put your solar glasses back on as it will get very bright again very fast as the moon moves out of the way.

Q: What are the best options for viewing the eclipse safely and to greatest effect?

A: No matter where you are during the eclipse, make sure you have solar glasses. These glasses should be ISO-approved for solar viewing. Do not use glasses with scratches, holes, or other damage.

If you are unable to obtain solar glasses in time, you can safely view the eclipse using a home-made projection method, such as a pinhole camera or even projecting the image of the sun through a colander.

The best view of the eclipse will be from within the path of totality, but even if you are not within it, you should still go outside to experience the partial eclipse. Use the NASA Eclipse Explorer to find the start, maximum, and end times, and then find a nice spot outside — preferably with some shade — put on your glasses, and enjoy the show.

For a closer view of the sun, find a friend that has a telescope with the correct ISO-certified solar filter. This will let you see the photosphere (or chromosphere if it is an H-alpha scope) in a lot more detail. If you do not have access to a telescope, NASA plans to livestream a telescope view throughout the eclipse. [The livestream will be displayed publicly on a large screen in Building 55 at MIT, rain or shine.]

The only time you can look at or image the sun without a filter is during 100 percent totality. As soon as this period is done, glasses and filters must be put back on.

After the eclipse, keep your glasses and filters. You can use them to look at the sun on any day (it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that I could use the glasses at any time instead of lugging out a telescope). On a really clear day, you can sometimes see sunspots!

Q: How does eclipse photography work?

A: This year I plan to photograph the eclipse in two ways. The first is using a hydrogen-alpha telescope. This telescope filters out all light except for one wavelength that is given off by hydrogen. Because it blocks out most of the light from the sun’s surface, it allows you to see the turbulent upper atmosphere of the sun, including solar prominences that follow magnetic field lines.

Because this telescope does not allow for imaging during totality as too much light is blocked, I also plan to set up a regular camera with a wide-angle lens to capture the total eclipse with the surrounding environment as context. During the 2017 eclipse, I only captured close-ups of the sun using a regular solar filter and missed the opportunity to capture what was going on around me.

Will it work? That depends on if we get clear skies, and how many pictures of my 1.5-year-old need to be taken (as well as how much chasing needs to be done).

If you would like to take pictures of the eclipse, make sure you protect your camera sensor. The sun can easily damage lenses, sensors, and other components. Here are some examples of solar damaged cameras. The solution is simple, though. If using a camera phone, you can take pictures through an extra pair of solar glasses, or even tape them to the phone. For cameras with larger lenses, you can buy cardboard filters that slide over the front of your camera or even buy ISO-approved solar film and make your own.

Q: Any fun, unique, cool, or interesting science facts about this eclipse to share?

A: If you want to get even more involved with the eclipse, there are many citizen science projects that plan to collect as much data as possible throughout the eclipse.

NASA is planning to run several experiments during the eclipse, and researchers with MIT Haystack Observatory will also be using four different technologies to monitor changes in the upper atmosphere, both locally and across the continent.

If you are interested in learning more about the eclipse, here are two of my favorite videos, one on “unexpected science from a 0.000001 megapixel home-made telescope” and one on solar eclipse preparation.

NGC 6995: The Bat Nebula Image Credit & Copyright: Mike Taivalmaa

Explanation: Can you see the bat? It haunts this cosmic close-up of the eastern Veil Nebula. The Veil Nebula itself is a large supernova remnant, the expanding debris cloud from the death explosion of a massive star. While the Veil is roughly circular in shape and covers nearly 3 degrees on the sky toward the constellation of the Swan (Cygnus), NGC 6995, known informally as the Bat Nebula, spans only 1/2 degree, about the apparent size of the Moon. That translates to 12 light-years at the Veil's estimated distance, a reassuring 1,400 light-years from planet Earth. In the composite of image data recorded through narrow band filters, emission from hydrogen atoms in the remnant is shown in red with strong emission from oxygen atoms shown in hues of blue. Of course, in the western part of the Veil lies another seasonal apparition: the Witch's Broom Nebula.

Incredibly detailed photograph of our Sun The photo was captured by astrophotographer Arturo Buenrostro using a special hydrogen-alpha filter, which allows us to see the Sun in a very specific wavelength of light. This wavelength is emitted by glowing hydrogen gas in the Sun's chromosphere, the layer just above the Sun's surface.

In the image, we can see many interesting features of the Sun's surface, including:

Granules: These are small, bright cells that are caused by convection currents in the Sun's plasma. They are typically about the size of Texas.

Sunspots: These are dark, cool regions on the Sun's surface that are caused by strong magnetic fields. The dark cores of sunspots can be thousands of kilometers wide.

Prominences: These are bright, looping features that erupt from the Sun's surface. They are made of hot plasma that is trapped in the Sun's magnetic field.

TWST Signature Spell Effects on the Body

Because I'm a wordy, purple-prose kinda bish, I thought about what each Unique Magic might actually feel like on the body (at least the ones that affect other mages when cast). (SPOILERS FOR BOOKS 5 ONWARD)

(CW: Loss of motor function, scopophobia, senses being messed with, forceful sleep)

Off With Your Head:

The moment it slaps around your neck and shoulders, there's that deafening rush of blood to one's ears. If you and your magic were lightning, the collar just became your glass bottle. Outside of the momentary dulling of senses, one may  have a general difficulty breathing, either from the collar fitting itself or the lack of support without one's magic. Lightheadedness and an internal hollowness make the collar leave you feeling like after a flu.

Bet the Limit:

His magic literally amplifies and pushes back your magic, but to do that he has to rip control of it from you. Bet the Limit gives one that jerking tug on the shoulders, a jab of pain that burns into your neck almost. Sometimes if one resists or tries to wrench control back, they're left feeling like their shoulders have been dislocated. They haven't of course, but the feeling is still enough to keep one from moving them for a while.

Doodle Suit:

There's a metallic, fruity Sichuan peppercorn-like numbing on the senses before it's replaced with what he decides. Pretty straightforward.

(Legit tho: I think his is kinda scary in terms of utility. The possibilities o_o )

King's Roar:

Burning. King's roar doesn't have fire but there's still a dry burn. Rug or rope burn, an allergic reaction, or being splashed with hydrogen peroxide, it all makes the nerves curl away like shriveling plants. Skin on downwards begins flaking like baked mud, falling off into sand like chunks of slate.

Laugh With Me:

Laugh With Me at first feels like the pinch of nerves. But pulling against the bindings is like hyena teeth biting and yanking your muscle and bones; you're not in control. That tugging hurts much less, more of a firm mouthing on your body in whatever direction he wants.

It's A Deal:

Much like his flattering words, his magic leaves one feeling glittery. But there's a cold tentacle-like grip on the heart for a quick moment; a reminder of what lies in the undertow. It's not a memorable sensation, but memorable enough to know what happens when it returns upon failing to fulfill your end of a contract. The resulting Anemone doesn't feel like much until one touches it, like a large zit.)

Shock the Heart:

The sudden wash over you feels like the splash of cold water after getting dumped out of a boat. Pharyngeal jaws scrape and tug on your tongue to reel you in, truth dripping off of you like seawater. 

(Truth is a lot of times subjective so why nerf it further? HC he can use it multiple times but lies cause it works on those unaware)

Oasis Maker:

Rain that's always the perfect refreshing temperature. Never frigid but never feeling hot. A relaxing shower of jasmine and chai, without the stifling steam

Snake Whisper:

A burning cobra bite to the skull. It's venom sears every wrinkle in the brain as you feel yourself get pulled along by the collar of proverbial tail coiled around your neck. Resistance feels like hot sand filling your brain cavity. Eventually the oppressive weight of said sand makes one submit. 

Sleep Kiss:

 Sleep Kiss seems pretty straightforward. It probably feels like sitting in a soundproof glass box, with cold air filtered in. Every chilly inhale acts like anesthesia, or the tug of exhaustion by hypothermia.

Fae of Maleficence:

His 'Blessing' feels like being laid into a patch of semi-prickly twigs; a dragon's nest or roost. It hurts slightly, but the diligence is paid to lay you gently in so they don't prick. Eventually you can somewhat relax, but adjusting or moving reminds one of the thorny poking all around you. It just becomes preferable to sit still, rather than try waking or even attempt at getting comfortable.

Meet in a Dream:

Many mistake Silver to have soft hair, but the only downy lightness about him, I think, is Meet in a Dream. Whatever sensations one feels when dreaming of flying, that fills you to buoyancy as he leads you along the Dream Corridor.

Round 1 - Phylum Priapulida

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

Priapulida is a phylum of unsegmented marine worms commonly known as “Penis Worms,” due to their general shape and retractable proboscis.

Like kinorhynchs (which seem to be their closest relatives) they live in the mud of shallow waters worldwide. Larger species tend to live in colder seas while smaller species live in warmer waters. They range from 0.2–0.3 cm to 39 cm (15.35 in) long. Their body is divided into a main trunk/abdomen and a swollen proboscis region, called the presoma, ornamented with ridges. The presoma, with the mouth at the tip, can be retracted into the trunk and is used in locomotion as well as in feeding. Members of the family Chaetostephanidae secrete a gelatinous tube, open in both ends, which they live in. Most families are carnivores that feed on slow moving invertebrates such as annelids, but some feed on detritus while others are filter-feeders. They have separate sexes, and usually breed by releasing sperm and eggs into the water, though at least one species is known for internal fertilization.

Priapulid-like fossils are known from the Middle Cambrian, with modern groups appearing in the Carboniferous. They were likely major predators of the Cambrian seas. The mouth of priapulids seems to be an original trait inherited from the last common ancestor of both priapulids and arthropods, though arthropods no longer possess it.

Propaganda under the cut

pingas

Please keep in mind that I am ordering phyla from furthest related to us to closest related to us. Of all the different groups of animals covered so far that we call worms, these are the closest related to us. And I think that’s beautiful.

Some species are very tolerant of hydrogen sulfide, anoxia, and low salinity. They are ~survivors~

In an Alaskan bay as many as 85 adult individuals and 58,000 larvae of Priapulus caudatus per square meter have been recorded. That’s a lot of penis worms!

They don’t even know they look like human penises. Imagine if giant aliens came to earth and made fun of us because we looked like their genitalia.

Okay but would you love your partner if they were a penis worm?

Alkaline Filter Water Purifier - How Does It Works in Building Body Cell

Alkaline water is a kind of water that has a pH level of above 7 and it has gained significant popularity for its health benefits such as proper hydration, detoxification, and strengthening of the immune system. The alkaline water purifier is a device that is designed to increase the pH level of water to make it more alkaline and beneficial for the body.

How Does an Alkaline Water Purifier Work?

Filtration Process

Pre-filtration: Filters out larger sediments such as dust and rust.

Activated Carbon Filter: Removes chlorine, organic matter, and unpleasant smell from the water.

Reverse Osmosis (RO): Filters heavy metals, fluoride, and other dissolved substances.

Ion Exchange: It removes the negative ions and replaces them with positive ones.

Alkaline Filter: The alkaline filter adds essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium to the water and also boosts its alkalinity.

Alkalinization

Mineral Addition: This water then passes through a filter that has natural minerals that raise the pH of the water.

Electrolysis: Some systems use electrolysis which involves passing water over plates that have been charged with electricity to separate the acidic and alkaline components of it.

Benefits of Alkaline Water on the Body Cells

Enhanced Hydration

Micro-clustered Molecules: Alkaline water has smaller molecular clusters thus it is easier for cells to absorb and use the water.

Improved Fluid Balance: It is important to stay hydrated and consume more fluids to avoid a decrease in fluid levels in the cells and to promote healthy cell functioning and longevity.

Detoxification

Antioxidant Properties: Just like hydrogen gas water, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant that helps in destroying free radicals that cause damage.

Waste Removal: Higher hydration enables the slow elimination of wastes produced by cells.

pH Balance

Acid-Base Equilibrium: Alkaline water helps to neutralize acids in the body and the cells, therefore maintaining acidosis.

Buffering Capacity: The alkaline water gives the body the buffer needed to naturally neutralize the excess of acid in the body fluids and tissues.

How Alkaline Water Support Cell Function

Cellular Energy Production

Improved Nutrient Transport: Increased cellular osmolality and mineral content release less energy for nutrients for cells to make ATP.

Oxygen Utilization: pH balance is vital for proper oxygen delivery to cells which is essential for energy metabolism.

Cellular Repair and Growth

Protein Synthesis: Alkaline water consists of minerals that are beneficial in protein synthesis to facilitate cell repair and growth.

DNA Protection: Antioxidants help in the prevention of oxidative damage to the DNA thus promoting healthy cell division.

Immune Function

White Blood Cell Activity: The balance of hydration and the pH level also boosts the function of white blood cells that are integral to the body’s immune system.

Detoxification Pathways: It supports the functions of the liver and kidneys, which are vital in eliminating toxic compounds that can damage immune cells.

Conclusion: An alkaline water purifier not only improves the taste and safety of drinking water but also has great health benefits because it supports cellular activities. These waters are important in improving health through improved hydration, enhanced detoxification, and improved pH balance of the body cells. Drinking alkaline water and hydrogen gas water daily can be one of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve cell energy and health.

Picture of the bubble nebula and surrounding objects : Top left (the vague group of stars): M52 an open cluster

Center right: NGC 7538 an emission nebula (also known as the northern lagoon nebula)

Bottom center: NGC 7635/the bubble nebula and the surrounding hydrogen cloud

The ''bubble'' part of this nebula is created by the stellar wind (flow of gas, plasma and particle) emitted by the central star at nearly 650 million km/h hitting and compressing the surrounding interstellar gas. The central star (BD +602522) is currently estimated to be about 45 times heavier than our sun and about 4 million years old. Being so massive and thus very hot (it's a type O star) its lifespan is very limited for a star and it should go supernova in about 10 to 20 million years.

BD +602522 is slightly off center from the bubble, this is due to the interstellar gas being a bit more dense on one side and thus slowing the stellar wind more efficiently.

Single exposure to make the central star more visible.

Image taken using a CarbonStar 150/600 newtonian telescope with a 0.95 coma corrector, ZWO ASI294 monochrome camera. 12x300s image for each colour filter (LRGB) and 12x300s for the Ha filter, total imaging time 5h, stacking and processing done in PixInsight.

The first photo shows the Sun's chromosphere in stunning 250MP 8K. This is the hydrogen alpha wavelength and requires a very narrowband filter that notches out every other wavelength except Ha. In this view you see solar flares, prominences on the limb and surface activity. The second is a photo of the Sun's photosphere, which is the view we get using a regular broadband filter. In this view, we see sunspots, granulation and faculae.

Planetary Nebula Abell 7 : Very faint planetary nebula Abell 7 is some 1,800 light-years distant, just south of Orion in planet Earth's skies in the constellation Lepus, The Hare. Surrounded by Milky Way stars and near the line-of-sight to distant background galaxies, its generally simple spherical shape, about 8 light-years in diameter, is outlined in this deep telescopic image. Within its confines are beautiful, more complex details enhanced by the use of narrowband filters. Emission from hydrogen is shown in reddish hues with oxygen emission mapped to green and blue colors, giving Abell 7 a natural appearance that would otherwise be much too faint to be appreciated by eye. A planetary nebula represents a very brief final phase in stellar evolution that our own Sun will experience 5 billion years hence, as the nebula's central, once sun-like star shrugs off its outer layers. Abell 7 itself is estimated to be 20,000 years old. Its central star is seen here as a fading white dwarf some 10 billion years old. via NASA
