Our top pick, the TP-Link RE315, finished in the middle of the pack this time around but surpassed similarly priced extenders in our tests for a previous iteration of this guide. The Deco S4 takes fewer steps to set up than the RP-AX56 and is more expandable, so replacing your router with a mesh setup is an easier option if you need improvement everywhere. The TP-Link Deco S4 mesh network improved latency across the board and performed a bit better than the RP-AX56. The Asus RP-AX56 was almost as quick to respond as our budget mesh system on these tests, prompting us to name it our upgrade pick. Each color bar represents someone waiting for something to happen after clicking a link, and longer bars mean more time staring at a spinning circle or pinwheel. Our stacked median latency chart above shows the typical latency for every computer on our test network at once, giving some idea of the whole network’s general performance when multiple devices are making requests at the same time. Similar to the test involving the download laptop, this test presents a real challenge to the rest of the network.

The two main components are linalyl acetate (about 50%) and linalool (about 35%) and both autoxidise on exposure to the air forming strong contact allergens. Now, let us look at the cons: similar to a bunch of other essential oils, the main components of lavender oil are potentially irritating fragrant components. (The main components of the flower essential oil are linalyl acetate and linalool while it is 1,8-Cineole in the essential oil of the leaves.) We have found a study confirming this but it was the essential oil of the leaves and not the much more commonly used flowers and the two differ in their main chemical compounds very much. Lavender oil is also often claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties. It also has some local pain relieving and muscle relaxing magical powers. It's definitely one of the best, or probably even the best option out there for sun protection available worldwide.Īnother pro is that lavender oil has some nice antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. This seems to be true even if the skin is damaged, for example, sunburnt.Īll in all, if you've found a Zinc Oxide sunscreen that you are happy to use every single day, that's fantastic and we suggest you stick with it. But luckily, so far research shows that sunscreen nanoparticles are not absorbed but remain on the surface of the skin or in the uppermost (dead) layer of the skin. We wrote more about nanoparticles and the concerns around them here, but the gist is that if nanoparticles were absorbed into the skin that would be a reason for legitimate health concerns. Still, it's white and disturbing enough to use Zinc Oxide nanoparticles more and more often. Pinnell, it's slightly less white than TiO2. It leaves a disturbing whitish tint on the skin, although, according to a 2000 research paper by Dr. It's also often used to treat skin irritations such as diaper rash.Īs for the disadvantages, Zinc Oxide is also not cosmetically elegant. ![]() So much so that Zinc Oxide also counts as a skin protectant and anti-irritant. It's also highly stable and non-irritating. It protects against UVB, UVA II, and UVA I almost uniformly, and is considered to be the broadest range sunscreen available today. The first main difference is that while TiO2 gives a nice broad spectrum protection, Zinc Oxide has an even nicer and even broader spectrum protection. On balance, the point is this: in contrast to real plant oils, wax esters were designed by Mother Nature to stay on the surface and form a protective, moisturizing barrier and jojoba oil being a wax ester is uniquely excellent at doing that. Third, jojoba oil moisturizes the skin through a unique dual action: on the one hand, it mixes with sebum and forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer on the other hand, it absorbs into the skin through pores and hair follicles then diffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple. ![]() ![]() has this not fully proven theory that thanks to this, jojoba might be able to "trick" the skin into thinking it has already produced enough sebum, so it might have "skin balancing" properties for oily skin. Second, jojoba oil is the most similar to human sebum (both being wax esters), and the two are completely miscible. If you have some pure jojoba oil at home, you should be fine using it for years. (Many plant oils tend to go off pretty quickly). Even if you heat it to 370 C (698 F) for 96 hours, it does not budge. So being a wax ester results in a couple of unique properties: First, jojoba oil is extremely stable. 25-30% of human sebum is also wax esters to give us people environmental protection. Wax esters are on the outer surface of several plant leaves to give them environmental protection. Chemically, a wax ester is a fatty acid + a fatty alcohol, one long molecule. Mother Nature also created wax esters but for a totally different purpose. Mother Nature created triglycerides to be easily hydrolyzed (be broken down to a glycerin + 3 fatty acid molecules) and oxidized (the fatty acid is broken down into small parts) - this happens basically when we eat fats or oils and our body generates energy from it. The fatty acids attached to the glycerin vary and thus we have many kinds of oils, but they are all triglycerides. So what the heck is a wax ester and why is that important anyway? Well, to understand what a wax ester is, you first have to know that oils are chemically triglycerides: one glycerin + three fatty acids attached to it.

![]() ![]() I also find that depending on where I am hanging my log feeder, string is more useful and flexible than the hook. I chose both – the hook for hanging and the string as a fail safe, should the log be knocked from it’s branch. You should be able to find them easily around the home but if not, maybe you can borrow what you need. There are some basic things you need to make this feeder. I am going to take you through some really simple steps, showing you how easy and quick it is to make your own log feeder. OK, the whys and wherefores are over – this is what you are here for. How To Make A Log Feeder For A Woodpecker (and other garden birds) In the summer months it just becomes a sticky mess that can cling to feathers and cause problems. This is best in the colder months though, as suet and fat mixes provide valuable nutrients to a bird in the winter months and stays solidified. Birds will find it quite natural to climb around the tree, finding their food as they go. Top TipĪ handy tip is to smear any left over suet mix you have into the bark of a tree trunk if you have a tree in your garden. After we make our log feeder we are going to use a suet mix toand sunflower hearts to fill the holes. A woodpecker and any other bird can cling to the log, as if it where a tree and find the food they want. They use their sharp beaks to peck into a tree trunk, where they will find food.Ī log feeder replicates this by presenting food in large and small holes up and down the log. They exist in large trees, where there are bugs and crawly things they can pick out from cracks in the bark. By this I mean we should think about how a woodpecker feeds in the wild. I mentioned earlier that it is helpful if we can replicate a bird’s feeding needs. You can probably see where I am going with this… Replicating a Bird’s Natural Feeding Environment There are also tree feeders that dig around in the bark of trees to find their food. There are many different types of garden bird and they feed in different ways – tree feeders, that cling to branches and hanging feeders, ground feeders that mainly feed from seed and other food they find on or in the ground. ![]() Before we make one (feel free to scroll down to that bit now) I want to explain why they work so well. I am going to show you how to make a log feeder for garden birds below. I have had some success attracting a great spotted woodpecker to a tree in my garden since using one. Knowing how woodpeckers feed and how to replicate that is going to help. As you will see by the end of this post, it is possible to attract woodpeckers to your garden. ![]() ![]() ![]() Most customers will be able to upgrade their license from the Products page within their user zone at but if you have any problems, please raise a ticket at and we will be happy to assist you.

Do Blue Cats Eat Zebra Mussels?ĭo cats eat zebra mussels? Blue cats, like other predators, consume zebra mussels in large quantities. Sunfishes prefer shallow vegetated habitats with no vegetation because they can remove mollusks from verti- cal surfaces. Other bivalve species (such as hydrozoan coelenterates, algae, bryozoans, and other genera with similar species) can compete with zebra mussels in order to replace them in hard substrate environments. This type of mussels is acceptable and, to the best of my knowledge, normal. The zebra mussels have made their way into the Great Lakes, and they have a significant impact. Zebra mussels were originally brought to the United States as a food source for the Great Lakes fish. They are a type of African mussel that was originally brought to the United States as a food source for fish in the Great Lakes in the 1800s. ![]() It is a type of mussels that was originally brought to the United States as a food source for the Great Lakes fish. These fish were imported to the United States as food for the fish in the Great Lakes in the 1800s. The zebra mussels are an African native species of mussels. This is unacceptable, but not disastrous. This is causing some problems because they are eating a lot of algae, which is typically eaten by the fish. The invasion of zebra mussels into the Great Lakes has been a significant threat. There has been no research on local mussel predation. According to one study, zebra mussels can be found as prey in abundance to predatory fish such as sheepshead and pumpkinseed sunfish. Recently, zebra mussels were discovered in Gull Lake, one of Brainerd’s most popular lakes. Some larger fish will also eat zebra mussels, including northern pike, muskellunge, and lake trout. This includes algae, plankton, and small invertebrates. Zebra mussels are filter feeders and they will eat anything they can filter out of the water column. Zebra mussels are an efficient cleaner of Great Lakes water because their reproduction and spread are both rapid, though whether this is a positive or negative thing varies from person to person. Mussels are filter feeders because they filter nutrients from the water that they drink. The only fish that have ever been observed eating zebra mussels in this area are smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and red-ear sunfish, and even then, they do not make much of a difference. Because zebra mussels are so small and lack much meat inside, you’d have to be very hungry to eat them. Because zebra mussels can be consumed by a variety of fish and ducks, they are not harmful to them in any way. This is a group of diving ducks.Ĭlams and mussels are commonly edible, but their taste can be deceiving. A few waterbirds are also important predators of zebra mussels. Other species in North America that eat zebra mussels include freshwater drums, redhorse suckers, river carpsuckers, and smallmouth buffalos. Because of the relatively high levels of calcium carbonate dissolved in the water, most lakes in central Minnesota are hard water lakes. With this designation, the Department of Natural Resources will prohibit the transport of water from Gull Lake. Zebra mussels have also been discovered in Brainerd Lake and Pelican Lake in the Red River watershed. Two years of study were conducted by students at the University of Vermont’s School of Natural Resources. Predatory fish have discovered that zebra mussels are tasty. The research looks at predatory fish like sheepshead, pumpkinseed sunfish, yellow perch, and rock bass. However, it is not known if sheepshead are purposely eating zebra mussels or if they are just accidentally eating them while they are feeding on other things. So, do sheepshead eat zebra mussels? The answer is yes! Sheepshead have been found with zebra mussels in their stomachs. Sheepshead are also known for their large, sharp teeth. They are a popular sport fish because they are very good to eat. ![]() Sheepshead are a type of fish that are found in both freshwater and saltwater. This means that they can remove a lot of food from the water, which can hurt the native fish and animals that rely on that food. Zebra mussels are a problem because they are very good at filter feeding. They were introduced to North America in the 1980s and have since spread to many freshwater lakes and rivers. The zebra mussel is a small, freshwater mussel that is native to Europe. However, new research has shown that sheepshead do in fact eat zebra mussels. Do sheepshead eat zebra mussels? This question has been debated for years, with many people believing that sheepshead do not eat zebra mussels. ![]() ![]() ![]() It will tell you more about the show rebate and various bonuses like business builder bonus, unilevel bonus, and generation level bonus.

Not only is this a lot of money, it is also a substantial amount of inventory each month. ![]() That means a monthly expense of $68.75 (25 pieces x $2.75 wholesale = $68.75) So, to advance to star consultant (and stay in the rank) you have to have 50 PV which equals the purchase of 25 pieces of jewelry a month. The lack of incentives could also mean that it is challenging for new stylist to get party bookings as well.Īs you can see on the image taken from the compensation plan, 1 PV doesn't equal $1. Therefore the question is Why should someone hold a party if there ii no benefit for the hostess? They don't seem to be any incentives available for hostesses who want to hold a Paparazzi party. There are no catalogs available and new items are added on a daily basis, so the stylist/consultant has to keep updating her own collection to be up-to-date with the product range. When I looked at the compensation plan, it looks like that the consultant has to purchase jewelry to sell at the parties rather than the customer ordering them. The focus of selling is via the party plan model, so your best bet would be to organise a launch party to get your business off the ground.

Mother's Day is a Polish language film starring Agnieszka Grochowska as Nina Novak, a former NATO special operative who is presumed dead by those who knew her. ![]() Less than two weeks after Jennifer Lopez's The Mother joined the Netflix film party (more on this film in a moment), another maternal action-thriller flick has landed on the platform – and it's doing as well as, if not better than, the J-Lo-led movie.

With scintillating performances from Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Willem Dafoe, and Alfred Molina (in Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 in particular), the webslinger's first live-action films laid the foundations for many of its contemporaries, and proved there was a space for comic book films to thrive on the big screen.

Okay, the Tobey Maguire-starring films may have aged slightly in the 15 to 20 years since their initial releases, and they can come off as somewhat goofy, campy, and a tad misogynistic.
