#Why Your Beer Gets So Warm On Humid Days Today in Very Important Science: beer koozies are even more crucial than you think.
When you pull a beer out of the fridge the condensation that builds up on the outside of the can releases heat warming your drink twice as much in humid weather compared with dry weather researchers found recently.
Beer koozies you see are priceless protectors of the cold. Researcher Dale Durran of the University of Washington arrived at this conclusion
while trying to teach concepts like evaporative cooling and heat caused by condensation; he figured a cool drink on a sultry day served as a good example.
He calculated how much warmth comes from water droplets on the outside of a can. Water just four-thousandths of an inch thick could warm the can's contents quickly he found.
Probably the most important thing a beer koozie does is not simply insulate the can
The can was cooled first down in a bucket of ice water then dried off to remove excess moisture.
To many cow forts in the world makes for a sweaty beer. Please eat more veggies less meat!!!
Thank you! Although this concept does apply...our atmosphere is just a bit more dynamic than a beer can and a koozie.
While explosions drive our car's wheels...you can hardly say'that's all there is to it'.
I live in desert AZ with an average summertime humidity around 8%.My root beer WILL stay cooler longer without using a'beer cozy'.
when people claim that eating veggies will stop cattle farming and lead to less green house gass production1. farm subsidies means that the cattle will live longer before being slaughtered for a cull
or beef production. 2. cattle farming will move to areas like colby beef production also again increasing the length of the cattle life span
and increase in farts also the beer and speciual diets fed to the cattle will increase the farts. 3. the increase in vegetables will decrease the natural arid landscapes kept by cattle farmers that adds to the clean air in favour for industrial farming that ruins natural habitat
and only produces plants that do little to clean the air or moderate the microclimate...
Because They're Eating Inferior Honey Substituteshoney is good for you and it's a nice natural substitute for sweeteners like table sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.
But it's good for bees as well --and vitally important to their well-being as it turns out.
They're present in honey something commercial bees don't get to keep--their food supply is taken for human use
and bees are feed sweet substitutes like corn syrup. Wenfu Mao and colleagues found three compounds in honey that increase the expression of a gene that helps bees metabolize pesticides.
By eating honey which contains pollen the bees are exposed to a compound that basically boosts their ability to break down dangerous chemicals.
So honey substitutes like high-fructose corn syrup may compromise their health. Scientists knew pollen ingestion helps bee health
After comprehensive testing and development p-coumaric acid may à   nd use as an additive to honey substitutes to allow beekeepers to maintain colonies during food shortages the authors write without compromising the ability
& corn & soy its become a case of malnutrition at the lowest level of the food chain.
Destroy that food chain and North america is going to face potential famine within a generation. European activists are saying NO to GMO and Monsantos so-called trial plantations.
What I find amazing is the fact that people believe that they can take away the food bees have created for themselves
We're feeding bees high fructose corn syrup? Who are the geniuses who know this already
the corn syrup they are forced to eat en route to their next pollination gig...is laced with Monsanto and Bayer's Systemic Neurotoxins.
So not only are fed they a diet of junk food...but its tainted as well. Wonder why they misse that important fat to the story. charbeecorn syrup?
Seriously? Do bees really eat that much honey that people need to replace it with sugar?
Sugar is not food geniuses? Once the bees have malnutrition ANYTHING could kill them easily. how bout we get one hive that only has gmo flowers
. and another with normal ones and compare the resultswe are screwed so. Our government office in charge being run by the person responsible for this assures that this is not going to go well for U s as to the honey not being feed left to the hives;
Higher food prices and certain foods no longer available and now there is talk of privatizing the nations water supply.
Smart industrious voracious and omnivorous eaters they reproduce quickly and destroy everything in their path.
The only thing better then bacon is wild bacon...Hmmmm@Biscuits I think some southern States already have bounties in place.
The fact is hunting wild pig can be difficult and dangerous...and the cost/availability of ammo doesn't help. 1) Request a truckload of US Marine snipers to set up in any county of your choosing you won't know they're even there.
They only sign of them ever being there is a zone free of pig and a faint scent of bacon.
Wild pig meat is popoular in Europe and pepole pay extra for it. So what it they are smarter than deer.
but the government's too busy outlawing soda pop and handing out free cell phones. Can we air drop parachute a ka-zillion of these guys in the middle east!
That is a worthwhile use of your timethey're yummy and the price for their meat is higher than for beef.
Anything that make grub worms a staple of their diet is not going to taste good this is why people don't hunt them very often they taste terrible the hide is useless they really don't look all that good stuffed on a hunters wall there is really very little insentive to hunt them.
Cheaper double-bacon cheeseburgers than the others by virtue of lower shipping and delivery costs as well as cutting out those expensive meatpacking facilities and that whole pesky USDA/FDA thing.
and health regulation bs because it ain't about providing food at all. It's environmental entertainment.
if these wild pigs have been unto acorns in their diet while free-roaming they should taste good--provided they be gutted asap once killed. a trip in southern Spain exposed
The owner of the House of Ham mentioned this diet of acorn gives the ham its far-out taste...
And while cocaine heroin and alcohol are all responsible for enough deaths to warrant their own stripes on the chart many popular illegal drugs including marijuana
@Auroria The sugar comment has no place here. If this was a dietary article or one on diabetes or obesity it would fit but not here.
Looks like Alcohol overdoses have doubled in the last few years as well.@@Auroria Good job. People don't like to hear the truth these days.
I laugh because we are so open to drinking (remember prohibition? The gun slingers sneaking booze in?
#Opcannabisi agree sugar salt and other chemicals added to our foods needs to be focused on
yet they have consumed never alcohol. Upon autopsytheir fatty liver disease resembled that of an alcoholic. However the culprit was excess sugar
and sodium intake combined with obesity; from a life time of eating processed foods! More proof that the war on drugs is a wasteful fallacy.
Absolute BS. I don't know where they got these statistics but I don't believe them one bit.
Alcohol and opioids like heroin have got to be the drugs causing the most death..The graph is anything but clear.
Auroria I agree that sugar is a drug and that is extremely unhealthy (I avoid it).
Drinking Hydrogen peroxide will result in death but water is need something we to live. Elecman one can easily die from an overdose on water even though...
That being said there are healthier methods of ingestion such as vaporizing tinctures and edibles. Those methods still can't yield a toxic response
You would die without sugar. Truth be told your body will start to make its own sugar
if you don't supply it (gluconeogenesis). Perhaps you should do a tad more research than just popular press--do some reading of primary sources.
If all these other deaths were shown the death count for alcohol would be much much greater. 2. Overdose deaths from cannabis LSD magic mushrooms
I agree very much about sugar. People concentrate on illegal drugs when legal drugs kill many times more.

#Dear President Obama: When Will You Stop Talking About Climate Change And Actually Do Something?
and we are did lucky it not kick off a total snowball earth. We are the countering force.
Sorry bud thats a fact. Man-made climate change is quite arrogant and convenient for climatologists.
This weird possibility is courtesy of some scientists at Virginia Tech who have transformed cellulose a mostly indigestible polymer into helpful indispensable starch.
but humans can't. It's important in our diets as source of fiber in that it binds together waste in our digestive tracts.
Y. H. Percival Zhang an associate professor of biological systems engineering at Virginia Tech set out to make it a food source.
They worked with a series of synthetic enzymes to break down the hydrogen bonds in some plant material that would not otherwise be used for food like corn cobs and leaves.
The resulting product is not exactly the future of bread flour but it can be used as a fiber source or food-safe biodegradable packaging perhaps.
The remaining portion of the original material was treated with microbes to produce a form of glucose that can then be used for ethanol.
Cellulose is the most common carbohydrate--indeed the most common organic material--on the planet so using it for food could be a superb way to feed millions of people they argue.
Cellulose is already a common ingredient in food. The inedible sawdust helps to help give certain foods consistent texture and a boost to fiber.
Just check the nutrition labels. This would be more useful for ethanol production than eating the cob
#You Can Hear When Trees Are Thirstyimagine you're just polishing off a glass of soda.
Whatever liquid left in the straw makes that gurgling sound indicative that there's just nothing left in the glass to drink.
Turns out trees under drought stress make the same sad sound and a few researchers hope they can use that acoustic signature to identify
and save otherwise-doomed trees. That trees make noise (beyond the delicate rustle of leaves in the wind) is no secret.

If you fall in love with a chicken or banana it's another game entirely and you're bonkers anyway.
Probably no worse looking than the wife on a rough morning. Can they make her fit in a suitcase?
Some nurse their queen and her eggs while others fly out in search of pollen and nectar.
Flowering Season To exploit the increase in available food young bees that would normally become nurses immediately develop into foragers a switch reflected by changes in their epigenetic tags.
or infirm nurse bees secrete a royal jelly high in fatty acids and protein and feed it to a few larvae.
The diet encourages ovaries to develop and produces a new queen who will spend her days laying thousands of genetically similar eggs.
Nurse Most female bees begin their lives as nurses who care for the queen and larvae.
They clean wax cells for the queen's eggs and feed the larvae honey and pollen.
and they switch to foraging for pollen nectar and water outside the hive using the sun as their compass.
Drone Male honeybees which carry only one set of chromosomes fertilize the queen's eggs.
Now the California-Kentucky team has zoomed in even closer to reveal that the leaves'sharp trichomes actually pierce the bugs'feet like meat hooks immobilizing them.

The Robotic Chicken Butcherif you've ever wondered how boneless chicken parts end up that way take a peek inside one of the 4000
The job of chicken deboner (who cuts through the shoulder joint to separate the wing from the body) is particularly brutal
No two chickens are the same and each cut must be perfect. If a robot splinters a bone it contaminates the meat.
If it leaves too much flesh behind it costs its owner money. Later this year a team from the Geor gia Tech Research Institute in Atlanta will put the finishing touches on an autonomous robotic chicken butcher.
and dexterity to debone a bird in four seconds flat on par with a human butcher. 1) Queue Gutted whole chickens sit on metal cones as they travel along a conveyor belt
Equipped with a 3-D map of the incoming chicken the robots calculate a cutting trajectory accurate to within three millimeters.
Fortunately the body proportions of a chicken adhere to quantifiable standards. So by calculating the dimensions of one body region the machines can deduce the dimensions of all the other body parts. 4) Slice To remove the wings from the breast meat the robotic arms slice into the chicken with a knife at the collarbone move toward the shoulder cut through the shoulder joint
and continue down the bird's backside along the shoulder blade all in two seconds. 5) Repeat Nine billion times a year.
and can discern between meat tendons and ligaments. The big challenge is teaching the robot to adjust its behavior in real time to account for all the variation in different birds says Ai-Ping Hu senior research engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
Brain (Not shown in illustration) To help the robot calculate the cutting path algorithms compare 3-D maps of each chicken to a database of dozens of different body types.

when he develop foods for NASA's Apollo program. The fundamental challenge of the pet food professional Moeller is saying is to balance the wants
Dry cereal-based pet foods caught on during WORLD WAR II when tin rationing put a stop to canning.
As a satisfied Spratt's Patent Cat food customer of yesteryear put it the little biscuits were both handy and cleanly.
To meet nutritional requirements pet food manufacturers blend animal fats and meals with soy and wheat grains and vitamins and minerals.
Cats and dogs are not grain eaters by choice Moeller is saying. So our task is to find ways to entice them to eat enough for it to be nutritionally sufficient.
AFB designs powdered flavor coatings for the edible extruded shapes. Moeller came to AFB from Frito-Lay where his job was to design well powdered flavor coatings for edible extruded shapes.
There are he says a lot of parallels. Cheetos without the powdered coating have almost no flavor. Likewise the sauces in processed convenience meals are basically palatants for humans.
The cooking process for the chicken in a microwaveable entrã Â e imparts a mild to nonexistent flavor.
The flavor comes almost entirely from the sauce by design. Says Moeller You want a common base that you can put two
or three or more different sauces on and have a full product line. Pet foods come in a variety of flavors
because that's what humans like and we assume our pets like what we like.
Sigh this article is harolding better kibble based off more meat products. Auroria's article is based off cheaper cardboard-ish kibble.

There are plenty of good kibble manufacturers who make high quality food without using lab animals to taste-test.
Given the ultimate consumers are pets at home it makes more sense to taste test to pooches with the diet and lifestyle of a pet rather than lab animal.

along with canned food you could do the same job with just 2 cups of premium kibble twice a day with no canned food at all.
