Learn more about Mosquitoes and How we can protect ourselves from Mosquito Bites

Small but terrible is the best description for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes might be considered as one of the smallest animal on earth yet it is the deadliest animal. You may think that it’s a lion, great white shark or a Siberian tiger that is deadly among the list of animals but according to National Geographic the deadliest animal on earth is the mosquitoes. Aside from the nuisance factor, mosquitoes are also carriers of some of humanity’s most deadly illnesses and believe to be public enemy number one against global infectious disease. I know that can be bothersome, as we all know it is very seldom to find a place which is mosquito free - they are found everywhere. Let me lessen your worries by informing you facts about mosquitoes, how we can avoid them and protect our loved ones from the danger of mosquito bites.


Facts about Mosquitoes:

1. Mosquitoes can smell human breath.
-Mosquitoes do not have good vision. But they have receptors on their antennae that detect the carbon dioxide released when we exhale. Those plumes of CO2 rise into the air, acting as trails that the mosquitoes follow to find the source.


2. Only female mosquitoes bite humans and animals; males feed on flower nectar.
-Female mosquitoes need protein for their eggs, and must take a blood meal in order to reproduce. Since males don't bear the burden of producing young, they'll avoid you completely and head for the flowers instead. And when not trying to produce eggs, females are happy to stick to nectar, too.

3. All mosquitoes must have water to complete their life cycle.
-Mosquitoes breed in stagnant, standing fresh water oftentimes found around the home.


4. Sweat helps mosquitoes choose their victims
-Our skin can produce more than 340 chemical odors, and some of them smell like dinner to mosquitoes. They are fond of octenol, a chemical released in sweat.

5. Mosquito- borne diseases cause several million deaths and hundreds of millions of cases every year:
-Mosquitoes can spread deadly diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever and a lot more. Malaria is endemic in 91 countries, with about 40% of the world's population at risk. Dengue is the world's most important mosquito-borne virus disease, with 2500 million people worldwide at risk of infection and 20 million cases a year in more than 100 countries.


6. The bumps from mosquito bites are caused by saliva.
-The saliva results in an allergic response from the victim’s immune system; that’s why your skin gets an itchy bump.


7. Female Mosquitoes is a very light creature.
-It’s no surprise that we don’t feel them when they land on our arm -- an adult female mosquito weighs just 1/15,000 ounce or about 2.0 milligrams.

PH8685 Calibration Procedure for Optimal Results

Calibration is one of the most important thing you need to do to ensure the accuracy of your pH meter. That's the reason why its very important for us to do the calibration properly. In my today's post I will show everyone what is the proper way of doing the calibration for one of the most reliable model of pH meter- PH868-5.

PH868-5 lets you measure the concentration of salt water & brine, pH and Temperature of your aquarium and a lot more. This Meter has a unique calibration design that features automatic buffer recognition to avoid error. Just to give you an idea a pH meter with "Automatic buffer recognition" has calibration data pre-stored for pH buffers. The meter will recognize what buffer you use and allow you to choose the order in which to use the different buffers when calibrating. Great isn't it?

So let's start doing the calibration process, just do the following step by step procedure.

1. Power on the meter.

2. Place the electrode into the buffer solution (4, 7 or 10). 7pH should be calibrated first and then 4pH or 10pH for better accuracy.

3. Press "CAL" to enter pH calibration mode. The text CA will appear on the LCD for one second and then the pH value (4, 7 or 10) will be displayed on the LCD.

4. If probe or buffer is in error the meter will escape calibration mode automatically after 10 seconds. Text "EN" will appear on the LCD in one second and then will go back to normal status. Simply press the hold button to adjust the value if buffer solution is not 4, 7, or 10 such as pH3.5, 4.50, etc.


5. To save the calibration value: When the electrode reads a stable value and the user stops pressing any keys, the meter will automatically save the value and then escape the calibration mode.


Please do not forget to rinse the probe with De-ionized water or rinse solution (tap water) after each measurement to last the meter's life.  Just repeat the above steps until 3 points calibration is finished.


I hope this post have helped you to do the calibration process.

Even replacing the batteries with a new set  didn't help. That kind of situation can be really devastating and can ruin your fishing activity since you need to switch on the unit first before you could start doing anything.

Advantage of pH meter

   One of the useful tool someone could have is a pH meter. A pH meter is a device that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a liquid. pH meters consist of a probe that is connected by a wire to a meter that gives you the readout of the pH. You can also measure the pH using test strips or pH indicator fluids, although there are advantages of using a pH meter. Speaking of advantages here are some of the advantages of having a pH meter.

Accuracy

Accuracy is the best advantage of pH meter among others. once the pH meter is properly taken care of and  calibrated they can be a reliable tool than a test strip or other method of pH measurement.




Ease of Use

Unlike pH test strips that requires many step by step procedure for you to be able the end result, pH meter just need to be placed directly to the liquid you are going to test and —voila— instant results in hand.



Precision


pH meters are much more precise than other methods of pH measurement and are able to measure down to the 0.01th of pH unit. Other pH test strips only covers a smaller ranges than 0 to 14 (e.g., 3-6. But only pH meter can give you accurate results with one click.


Considerations

pH meters offer the advantage of not being disposable. Aside from having to occasionally purchase calibration standards and probe storage solutions once you make the initial purchase, you can measure as many pH values as you desire. Each time you measure pH using another method, you will have to replenish your supply.



To help you fully  understand  what is the importance of having a pH meter, let me show you a video. I have to thank my friend Cristina Henson for creating this wonderful video, it made me realized the purpose of having a pH meter. And if in any case you will be interested to buy your own pH meter, just check out this store below, they have quality pH meter at an affordable price.

Selecting The Best Fishfinder Review

Fishing is one of the most enjoyable activities to do. What adds to the fun is to be able to catch a large number of fish, to help you achieve that goal, you can use a Fish Finder. A fish finder is a device used to locate fish underwater by detecting reflected pulses of sound energy. There are hundreds of fish finders out on the market today that can help you detect fish, but the question is which fish finder suits to your needs?

If you are in the market for a fish finder for your fishing activity then you will want to consider one of the top brands of fish finder on China, Lucky Fish Finder. Lucky fish finder has multiple model types under its umbrella; let me give you a viewpoint on the different features each model has to offer. 

Type of water

What’s amazing about this product is that it can detect both fish location and depth in fresh water, salt water, ocean, river or lake. So fishing is not limited to one body of water only, you may fish where your heart desires.

What can you see under water?

 Lucky Fish Finder displays live update of the water bottom contour; it’s like you are seeing the actual surroundings under the water with your own eyes.  Things you will see are grasses, sands and rocks on the seabed and many more.

Sensor

Lucky Fish Finder offers 2 types of Transducer. One that is Wired and one that is Wireless.  Wired Transducer comes with 46mm diameter Round transducer sensor and a cable that you can directly connect to the main unit. Wireless sensor is a yellow colored sensor that floats on water and has a fully waterproof design. It sends signal to the main unit to detect the fish location and live updates under the water.  Also you don't have to worry that the water may enter the sensor because it is secured by an O-Ring Gasket, only make sure that it is position correctly. Another perks of having a wireless sensor is that it's replaceable; you can buy a spare one in case the one that you have got damage.

Temperature

Having a temperature gauge on fish finder is extremely important for fishing. Each fish has a different range of water temperature in which it can survive. Although fish cannot always find the exact temperature they prefer, they are usually found in water close to that temperature. 

By knowing the water temperature, you can roughly predict the best time to fish, and which fish will be in a particular part of a lake at a particular time. Water Temperature measurement displayed in either °C or °F on the main unit.  

Display

The series of Lucky fish finder has High resolution gray scale screen display and the size of the screen varies. Gray scale technology offers even more detail by showing the sonar image in multiple shades of gray; this makes it easy to clearly distinguish bottom type, structure and fish.  Currently Lucky has released a new model of fish finder in the market with Colored Display Screen. I think this is a good move since a lot of people are aiming for an advanced way of seeing fish, the clearer the view the better!
