The hardness of Moso is about twice as high as the hardness of Guadua, and can be compared to the hardness of European Oak (6280 N). A similar difference is observed for node and internode sections. Literature values of Norway spruce and dark red Meranti were added for a comparison.įor both species, the outside of the culm wall proved to be harder than the inside of the culm-wall. The density was measured for Moso at a moisture content of 10.3%, and for Guadua 12.6%. The density of both bamboos is shown in the chart below. Species: There is a considerable difference in starch content among different bamboo species. Season: Mature bamboo culms have a higher starch content during dry season for new shoot growth in rainy season.Īge: Virtually no starch is present during the first year of growth, and gradually increases when the culm becomes older.Ĭulm part: The lower part of the culm has a higher durability as middle and top parts due to the lower concentration of starch in the bottom parts, and the inner part of the culm wall has a lower durability than the outer part, which is attributed to the higher content of nutritious parenchyma in the inner part. The amount is influenced by several factors: Starch serves as an energy resource for the production of new shoots. 10), and in parenchyma in the vascular bundles. Starch grains occur abundantly in the parenchyma cells that form the ground tissue (see Fig. The starch content of the parenchyma cells influences to a larger extent the susceptibility to attack by fungi, especially blue stain fungi, and beetles. One of the inclusions which is often discussed with regard to the durability of bamboo is the starch content. The cells are all strictly axially orientated within an internode, except the vascular bundles seize to run straight in a node where some of them bow off into the horizontal diaphragm.īamboo tissue contains several organic and inorganic inclusions (extractives), which are deposited within the cell walls as an encrusting material. Due to the presence of fibers, vascular bundles determine the strength of a culm. Therefore, the percentage of fibers (sclerenchyma or separate fiber strands) decreases towards the inside of the culm wall.įurthermore, the numerous vascular bundles near the outside of the culm wall are small in diameter, where the ones in the center and near the inside of the culm wall have a large diameter. The concentration of the vascular bundles on the outside of the culm wall is high, and low on the inside (see Fig. Bamboo tissue is approximately composed of 52% parenchyma, 40% fibers (sclerenchyma sheaths and separate fiber strands) and 8% conducting tissue (tubes). The ground tissue of a bamboo culm consists of parenchyma cells, with embedded vascular bundles composed off metaxylem vessels, sieve tubes with companion cells, and fibers. Microscopic Features of Bamboo (Moso and Guadua) 1), resulting in more ‘stripes’ on the tangential surface near the outside of the culm wall than on the inside (see difference between Fig. Similar to Guadua, the concentration of the vascular bundles near the outside of the culm wall is high (Fig. The nodal regions are small (due the small diaphragm), and do not result in a coarse surface after planing. Phyllostachys edulis or Moso has a reasonably fine grain, finer than Guadua due to its smaller vascular bundles. Macroscopic Features of Bamboo (Moso and Guadua) In the Dutch construction sector it is common practice to use KOMO-certificates one can hardly enter the market without having their product certified according to KOMO. Norway spruce and dark red Meranti were chosen because they are commonly used in the Dutch market, and are often used for exterior applications.Ĭertification Institutes which are accredited by the government, check if a product meets the requirements, and award the KOMO-certificate if it does. In order to provide a point of reference, the test results were compared to 2 wood species. The tests are performed on single, non-laminated strips, in order to obtain data on the bamboo material in its natural condition. Mechanical properties of Guadua and Moso, were tested according to the KOMO-certified standard, which is the most commonly used standard for outdoor construction applications in The Netherlands. Comparing Mechanical Properties of Bamboo Guadua angustifolia (Guadua) is hardly found in industrial manufactured products in the West (EU and USA), but since it is South America’s most important bamboo, and industrial activities are picking up, it is of interest to develop know-how on this species.īy testing these two bamboos, we will acquire more in-depth knowledge about the world’s 2 most important giant timber bamboo species.

When Teyana allegedly didn't engage with Chris, he reportedly demanded that Usher kick her out of the venue. She was reportedly "involved in the planning of that performance," which ultimately fell through.

The "Yeah" hitmaker was allegedly later seen with a bloody nose, leading to speculation that the argument got physical.

Both Usher and Chris Brown hopped onstage at the Lovers & Friends Music Festival on Saturday (May 6) as details continued to emerge about an alleged altercation they had. Subjectively, though, the reduced screen real estate drove me up the wall. My productivity took a huge hit on the smaller screen – or maybe it didn’t, it’s hard to tell objectively. I do Web and database development, and most of the time I have 50 different windows open. But it was as disruptive as trying to type with only eight fingers. You wouldn’t think that the switch from 1440 by 900 to 1280 by 800 would be that big a deal at least, I didn’t think the loss of 21 percent of my screen resolution would bother me. But I digress.) The MacBook, as most of you know, is a fantastic computer – blazingly fast compared to my 1 GHz PowerBook G4.īut the transition to the smaller monitor really threw me. (The fix included refrigerating my apartment to 50 degrees and suspending the PowerBook over a tray of ice cubes. Although I was able to fix it later, I needed a working Mac immediately, so I picked up a new MacBook. A few weeks ago my beloved 17-inch PowerBook died on me.

It meant I was working too hard every morning and evening over the sink, and all that brushing was damaging the delicate tissue around my teeth. I was something of a "super brusher" before, and that's not the kind of award you want at the dentist's office. Since I mentioned that it was my dentist who recommended I make the switch from a manual toothbrush to electric, it bears mentioning that Quip is incredibly gentle on my gums. Just push on two little dots on the back of your toothbrush, and tug. And did I mention I'm kind of forgetful? It just delayed the whole "changing your toothbrush" process the ADA says is so necessary.Īdd in the fact that the extra device was yet another thing to store in my bathroom, and I was just about done with electric brushes before I found Quip.Ĭompared to every single electric toothbrush I've owned in the past, the Quip head replacement process is incredibly simple. They all required me to use an extra device to separate the handle from the head, and if you lost that device, you’d have to buy a new one, which meant spending more money, plus a trip to the store. But one of the main things I hated about every electric brush I bought before Quip was the replacement process. It turns out people who go electric tend to have healthier gums (who knew?), and he said the electric option would help keep mine from bleeding. My dentist is the one who told me I needed to make the switch to an electric toothbrush years ago. The Quip Toothbrush Head Replacement Process Not only is it battery powered - meaning there's no bulky charger on the counter - there’s nothing to collect a gross toothpaste residue! 4. That was bad enough, but on top of that, the big charging port took up a bunch of space on my bathroom sink.Įnter Quip. No matter how well I rinsed my brush after brushing my teeth, the charger tended to get kind of gross and smelly from the water and toothpaste remnants that would run down the handle. It's Battery Powered!īefore using Quip, I had an electric toothbrush that had to be set into a charger that was then plugged into the wall. Your toothbrush is covered for life if you're on a refill plan, which means I didn't have to pay cent to get a brand-new toothbrush! This is the kind of customer service that makes me loyal to a brand for life. Within a week, I had a brand-new toothbrush in my bathroom! Only, well, once again the brand new head worked its way off. I assumed I had a faulty head, but shoving it back on seemed to work, so I let it go until I got a new one. My original toothbrush was a year and a half old when suddenly the toothbrush head started to work its way off while I was brushing. My mouth is a whole lot healthier, and I don't even have to think about it. This is far and away the best thing about Quip - when I open the mailbox every three months to find a new toothbrush head, I know it’s time to make the change. I really, really, really meant to change it out as often as recommended by the American Dental Association (that’s every three months by the way), but I just… forgot. I'll be asking your name in about 30 minutes or so.īefore I signed up for Quip, changing my toothbrush happened a few times a year at most. You know the kind of person who you say "hi, my name is" to, and a few minutes later she's asking your name? Hi! Nice to meet you! I'm Jeanne. Here’s everything I like about my Quip toothbrush subscription and one tiny quibble I have with the service to help you make the call - is Quip worth it? 7 Things I Like About Quip 1. You know … the one who talks about her dental health like she's recruiting for an oral health campaign? I can’t help it - I really love this quirky little toothbrush subscription service. As a subscriber for two years, I can see why! Since spotting a Quip on the rack at my local Target and deciding to give it a try, I’ve become THAT woman at parties. At 7 years old, Quip is a relatively young brand on the toothbrush scene, but they’ve already sold millions of brushes and have celebs like Demi Lovato jumping at a chance to invest in the company. Play the Garden DLC after finishing the main game of House Flipper. You’ll find a rich college boy whose friends trashed his father’s yacht during a party, a couple who are left with an unfinished house by dishonest contractors, and even an obvious parody of the protagonist of 50 Shades of Grey.

BUILD YOUR HOUSE FROM THE GROUND UP Why renovate a house when you can just build one USE THE NEW, REVAMPED SET OF TOOLS House Flipper 2 introduces new. I don’t think porting to console is as easy as it appears. It’s been almost a year and a half since House Flipper‘s last big DLC, HGTV, was released. Ages ago on the official houseflipper sub, the devs did an AMA where they said that they are planning to bring all dlc to console eventually, just that it takes time and they needed some more people working on it. Stan isn’t fanatical about Lord Bedlam and his cause he’s mainly there for the benefits, and doesn’t know much about the organization’s goals. You can kind of get an idea of whether what you said made someone happy or annoyed based on the change in their facial expression, but I would have liked to see where I currently stand with the characters like you can in some otome games. I couldn’t find any menu that showed how your dialogue decisions impacted your relationship with that person. How you respond to people will change their opinion of you. Lord Bedlam has some concerns on the level of enthusiasm, and requests that Dave please tone it down.) Dave seems like an odd choice for a henchman considering his positive personality, but I suppose there aren’t too many people whose ambition is to work for supervillains, so he’ll do.Īs this is a visual novel, you’ve got decisions to make for your choice of dialogue. (Stan suspects that Dave may have a Lord Bedlam tattoo somewhere. Stan has Dave, a very peppy Lord Bedlam fan, as his direct supervisor. (With the occasional mission here and there.) Stan seems like a pretty snarky guy, and I really appreciate how Marc Soskin voices that dialogue. Our character Stan, however, gets the above-mentioned perks for frequently guarding a rarely used door. The benefits seem pretty nice, although considering that there are assemblies with announcements of forced henchpeople retirement due to injury, the job may not be great long term… He’s polite, pays his two hundred henchpeople, and provides them with food, okay enough healthcare, and housing (private rooms, as he apparently did research on employee morale). Lord Bedlam, despite his status as a “villain,” seems to be a better boss than most. (On second thought, stealing items used for doggies and kitties is rather evil…) (Un)fortunately, your boss Lord Bedlam seems to have missed the memo on how to be a proper villain, as your loot consists of mere pet supplies. You play as Stan, a henchman, so that makes sense. Right as you start, the game drops you in the middle of a heist. Some of their previous roles feature their voice acting in titles such as RWBY, Fire Emblem, Dragon Ball Z Abridged, and more! You’re able to make friends, enemies, and even develop a romantic relationship with some of the heroes, villains, and other “henchpeople”! The characters are further brought to life with full voice acting!Ī look at the IMDB page for Henchman Story’s cast made me even more excited to hear the voice acting! The voice actors include Caitlyn Elizabeth, Daphne Nitsuga, Elissa Park, Anairis Quinones, Alejandro Saab, Anthony Sardinha, Mark Soskin, Howard Wang, and Suzie Yeung. The colors are vibrant, and I quite like the art style. I am a big fan of visual novels, and even before starting the game, it has great graphic appeal. Henchman Story is a ~200,000 word satirical visual novel in which you play as a much aggrieved henchman who works for a “bumbling” supervillain named “Lord Bedlam.” You may not be the most competent supervillain sidekick, and the purple spandex uniform may not be the most fashionable thing ever, but in this case crime does seem to pay (with added healthcare benefits!). If you hold down Command-Option-P-R at startup and you see nothing but a gray screen that doesn’t change for several minutes-no Apple logo, no progress bar, no second startup chime-don’t panic. Then check the Startup Disk, Display, and Date & Time panes of System Preferences to make sure they’re set the way you want them. If you have an older Mac that chimes at boot, hold down the keys until you hear a second startup chime. Then let go and allow your Mac to continue starting normally.

Energy savings will pay for these windows quickly. early 20th century when thousands of Japanese emigrants traveled to South Americas fertile soil to cultivate coffee plantations and find their fortune. Our low profile secondary windows are designed to stop noise and air infiltration, and improve the insulation values of the primary windows. We offer many flexible solutions to solve noise problems. This is similar to how our frame squeezes our glass panels to keep them quiet and reduce noise. A wine glass will ring when struck, but if you hold it firmly there is no ring. When manufacturing our sashes we install an isolating membrane, this stops the transfer of noise through the framework. The inner PVB layer of plastic stops vibrations – like a finger on a tuning fork that also stops the ‘sweet spots’ referred to above.Secondly, there is an air space between the two windows (the existing window and the new noiseproof window). This is the ‘sweet spot’ of the various thicknesses of glass.įirst, we use an engineered sound reduction laminated glass. This makes the noise at that frequency nearly “invisible” to the glass, and the noise rushes through. The series revolves around four boys Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick and their exploits in and around the titular Colorado town.

In a double glazed window, the two pieces of glass are coupled within the same frame and vibrate together – like the two tynes of a tuning fork. Only in extreme noise environments or very poor construction situations do the walls and ceilings require any special noise abatement treatments. The noise problems are seldom the walls, but are always the windows. Only until you turn down your window’s volume, will it be possible to hear the walls. Which radio do you hear? Well, the noisy one is your windows and the quiet one is the walls. Now take another radio and turn it up full blast. As an analogy: You turn on a radio very low.
