Motor oil – the key to car’s life

Automobiles

Yet it's surprising how many motorists forget to check their car's oil level, much less ensure that oil is changed on a regular basis. Doing so is proven to significantly extend the life of any motor vehicle, often to the tune of thousands of extra miles. Fresh Oil is Best While gasoline fuels the engine, motor oil is the lubricant which protects it as it runs. Once operating, the engine's moving parts — metal against metal — require lubrication to prevent overheating, wear and eventual breakdown. Motor oil supplies this lubrication; how well it performs at any given time is known as its viscosity, or its ability to maintain its ability to protect those valves and pistons as they keep your engine running and your car moving. But viscosity diminishes as oil is used; the result is ...

Whales, Dolphins and Ocean Noise

Wildlife

In the wake of multiple mass strandings of varied species of whales, the link between naval exercises and these events has become a very controversial topic. And there are other sources of noise that are also affecting marine mammals. Boats, Oil and Gas Exploration, and Industry Engine noise from large ships and even recreational boats causes dolphins and whales to alter their behaviour. Oil and gas exploration, construction, power plants and factories all contribute to the problem. Whales and dolphins exist in a world of underwater sound. Most people are familiar with the clicks and whistles of dolphins and the eerie sounds of humpback whale songs. Some of these sounds can carry up to a mile away and are a vital part of cetacean communication. In addition, dolphins and toothe...

Varicose Vein Treatment: Are Your Compression Stockings Itchy?

Health

Compression stockings are an integral part of almost every type of varicose vein treatment. If you go to a vein clinic that specializes in varicose vein treatment, like Metro Vein Centers, and undergo a procedure like sclerotherapy or laser treatment, you'll almost always be instructed to wear compression stockings after the procedure. In fact, the staff will likely assist you in putting on your compression stockings before you leave the clinic. You are usually then instructed to leave them on all night when you return home. This is to reduce pain and guard against a vein bleeding out (very rare but it can happen). Most vein doctors will then instruct you to wear compression stockings all day for at least two additional weeks, taking them off only at night. In many cases too, wearing co...

Why Deep Water Drilling May Lead To Massive Disaster

General

Deep water drilling is not the answer to our energy conundrum and neither is nuclear. The Gulf oil disaster will be huge in the future as earlier the US congress allowed oil drillers to make their own rules and trusted them. There are now more than 20,000 deep oil wells that were capped off with no standards, and they are starting to leak oil. Running a deep oil rig like RIG or Diamond offshore with helicopter pads and a small city of workers cost over a million a day rental. So they can only extract less than 40 percent of the oil because the rest costs more than one million a day. This is the reason they leave 60 percent under pressure that we cannot imagine. Just think about 1 mile of water plus 1.5 miles of land under the water pressing down on the oil well that is 2.5...
