This satisfaction level a vaporizer depends upon person to person. We can always take help of any of your friends who has similar taste as you have. Very basic principle of vaporizer is that it heats the herb to release the active components of the herb rather than burning it. While smoking the herb is burnt because of which smoke is produced. In this feature of vaporizers it accounts for its advantages. The vaporizer is not that harmful for throat and mouth as smoking is because the temperature is vapors is comparatively lower than the temperature of smoke produced by burning of the herb.

Cosmetics Precautions

Cosmetics Precautions

Safety precautions are vital to any liposuction procedure. Caution needs to be used with when deciding whether to use any type of cosmetic, cream, or beauty product on your skin. In the quest to have glamorous body, many women forget to ensure the basic safety precautions before undergoing liposuction. There are many mishaps which happen during liposuction procedures and some extreme cases lead to death. Permanent cosmetics can help enhance appearance, and can also correct certain conditions. For those with little or no eyebrow hair, this procedure can provide more natural-looking results. Permanent cosmetics can also help cover up unsightly scars, and do not wash away, smudge, or fade in a few hours. Insert contact lenses before applying makeup and take them out prior to removing makeup. Always wash your hands before touching your contact lenses. Never use aerosol beauty products near heat or while smoking because they can ignite. Sharing makeup increases the risk of contamination. Whether applying hair chemicals at home or in a hair salon, consumers and beauticians should be careful to keep them away from the eyes. FDA has received reports of injuries from hair relaxers and hair dye accidentally getting into eyes. Cosmetics that have been improperly stored - for example, exposed to high temperatures or sunlight, or opened and examined by consumers prior to final sale - may deteriorate substantially before the expiration date. Apply eyeliner outside the lash line to avoid direct contact of the cosmetic with the eye. There also will be less chance that the liner will flake off into the eye. Never add water or another liquid to a product to bring back its original consistency. This could introduce bacteria that can easily grow out of control. Even though eye makeup removers are designed for use around the eye, they can irritate the eye. Apply them carefully to the eyelid and avoid getting them in your eye. Persons allergic to nickel should not use an eyelash curler, as the metal frame contains pickle. When at a store cosmetics counter, be sure the cosmetics demonstrator uses fresh applicators and does not let a used sample product come into direct contact with you. Stop using any product that causes an allergic reaction. Almost all cosmetics can cause allergic reactions in certain individuals. The first sign may be mild redness and irritation. Any makeup that smells funny or has lost its regular consistency should be thrown away. If you use an eyelash curler, make sure the rubber is soft, not stiff and cracking. Always use the curler before applying mascara. Don’t use eye makeup if you have an eye infection. Throw away all products you were using when you discovered the infection. If you hurt your eye while applying cosmetics, it is important that an eye doctor examine you. Sometimes a minor injury can become serious without proper medical attention. If possible, take the applicator and cosmetic with you to the doctor so that the products may undergo tests for bacteria.

Gall bladder cancer Detailed Information

Gall bladder cancer Detailed Information

Cancer of the gall bladder is a very uncommon condition. Gall bladder cancer, also called carcinoma of the gall bladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped limb underneath the liver that collects and stores bile (a fluid made by the liver to digest fat). Gallbladder cancer starts in the intimate layer of tissue and spreads through the outer layers as it cultivates. Gall bladder cancer tends to spread to nearby organs and tissues such as the liver or small intestine. It also extends through the lymph system to lymph nodes in the region of the liver (porta hepatis). Gallbladder cancer is most frequently seen in older patients, with a median age at diagnosis of 62-66 years. It arises more often in women’s. Gallbladder cancer is the fifth most common GI cancer in the United States. Gall bladder cancer is very rare affecting only 7,100 people in the United States per year. Gallbladder cancer infrequently produces premature signs and symptoms. When symptoms do seen, they often look like those of other, more common, gallbladder problems such as gallstones or infection. The bulk of these cancers are “adenocarcinomas”, with subtypes such as papillary, nodular, and tubular, depending on the appearance of the tumor cells under the microscope. Less common subtypes comprise: squamous cell, signet ring cell, and adenosquamous (adenoacanthoma). Gallbladder cancer symptoms consist of jaundice and fever. Most gall bladder cancers are only revealed when they have reached fairly a late stage. They can reason a diversity of symptoms, including sickness and high temperatures, and sudden pain (which may come and go) in the upper right-hand side of the abdomen. The abdomen is the cavity containing several organs including the stomach, gall bladder and liver. Treatment may also depend on the age and general health of the patient and whether the cancer is causing symptoms.Surgery is a common treatment for cancer of the gallbladder if it has not broadened to surrounding tissues. Laparoscopy is frequently used to eliminate the gallbladder as a treatment for gallstones or chronic irritation of the gallbladder. This operation is called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Chemotherapy employs drugs to destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy utilizes high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and minimize tumors. Radiation for gallbladder cancer generally comes from a machine outside the body (external beam radiation therapy). Radiation may be used alone or in addition to surgery.

Buying a Sotogrande Spa - Questions to ask

October 29th, 2008 by admin

Buying a Sotogrande Spa - Questions to ask
by John Lewis

When buying a Jacuzzi Hot Tub there are many points to consider and this article sets out some of those to take into account:-

What acrylic is used in the shell?

Most Spas look great in a showroom but you have to ask the question as to how the spa will actually look in a few months and in deed in a few years and for that reason you will want to consider the material used in the shell.

Is it proper branded acrylic Lucite or Quaarite. Just merely being told that it is US acrylic is not sufficient for the savvy buyer. Lucite-Xtra cast acrylic is a non porous material that is stain resistant to the build up of lotions and oils which can harm non acrylic spas. This tough material retains its shine and colour despite sanitizing chemicals, high temperatures and exposure to sunlight.

How is the Shell made and how is it strengthened

Ask how the shell is made and formed and are the manufacturing processes used environmentally friendly. For example is a real layer of ABS plastic used to re-inforce the strength of the shell. ABS is a class of plastics based on acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers and has a very high mechanical and impact strength. This construction procedures or environmentally friendly and much more efficient than using fibre glass as backing to the shell.

Manifold Plumbing

Manifold plumbing is designed to balance the water pressure distribution and reduce the number of plumbing joints to maximize water flow.

Guarantee

Obviously you need to know about the manufacturers guarantee and I would expect some thing on the following lines:

Shell - The Shell to be warranted against water leakage caused by a defect in the material for ten years from the date of the original purchase.

Plumbing - Spa Plumbing ,fittings pipes drains and fixtures are warranted against leaks for five years from the date of the original purchase.

Pumps - The Spa pump and pump motor for two years from the date of the original purchase.

Jets

Are the Jets are adjustable. If you have a Jacuzzi Spa where none of the Jets are adjustable then you are clearly buying a spa from the bottom of the range and one that is really useless to provide you a pleasant massage effect.

Pumps

Where are the pumps made are they proper Western American or European pumps as pumps made in China and the East are much less reliable than their western counterparts.

Construction

Has it got a proper bottom sealed from the elements or has it just got that cheap steel frame. These Hot Tubs are the cheapest of the cheap no bottom so the elements can get in let alone some small animals like termites’ and even worse those beasties that chew through electric cables after all they do it to ignition leads on cars and plant.

Does it have proper planned and thought out insulation particularly look at the sides of the Hot Tub. Many with no proper bottom and the steel frame just have cheap wooden sides with no insulation. Again just a cheap import.

Does it have fully foamed shell and by that I mean that you cant see the pipes in the Jacuzzi. I expect the shell to be foamed but not that the pipes etc are not accessible and not hidden with in loads of foam because if they are it is more or less impossible to find a leak and fully foamed spas in my view (and that of many others in the Hot Tub industry) are hiding that the shell is not properly strong enough as they are using the foam to help provide strength to the shell.

Ozone water purification

Is the Ozone sanitizer injected directly into the spas water line and then distributed into in the spa’s main body of water. You should hundreds of fine oxygen particles shooting into the bottom of the spa rather than just a small stream of water into the spa as you see on some cheap eastern imports.

These are some of the features to consider and is not to be exhaustive but to give some general guidelines.

As in all things it pays to buy from a long established manufacturer and there is that saying if you buy cheap you probably end up buying twice.

The best advice is to buy a proven product from a reputable manufacturer and not a cheap import that way you have proven expertise tested over many years combined with the back up of a Major Western Corporation.

Look for a well established manufacturer one who has been around for some decades and boasts an industry-wide reputation for long-term durability, high quality, true-depth construction, and ease of use and maintenance.

The reason is simple in that the internationally recognized producer backs his products with a real guarantee so if it has a fault it falls back on the manufacturer not on you. As you can imagine these manufacturers have had decades of experience and they build them with the proper parts and components so it will not fail and it is for that reason and that reason alone that they are prepared to provide a long life guarantee.

Arthritis & Joint Pain by Pam Hallihan

October 28th, 2008 by admin

Today almost every other person you talk too is living with daily joint pain. It does not matter what the age or physical shape of the person, daily pain seems to be a common complaint. Living with chronic pain can wear a person down, affecting energy levels, mood and overall stamina. The cause can vary however Arthritis is typically the root problem. Arthritis comes in more than 100 forms and one does not need to be of old age to have this debilitating disease. The cost of arthritis around the world is approx $400 billion in medical expenses and lost productivity.

Let’s face it preventative health care is boring and as a result most individuals do not provide their body with nutritional supplements until they are sick or in pain. We do not eat properly to get the nutrition required and even if we attempt to do so there is very little in nutrients remaining once we cook our food at high temperatures. Therefore it is very important to begin to nourish our joints at a young age to prevent Arthritis however very often this is not done until we can no longer stand the pain.

The fight against Arthritis is to begin early in life with good nutrition. Good nutrition also means the taking of daily nutritional supplements along with a balanced diet. A person should begin to supplement the diet as early as 30 years of age to fend off Arthritis symptoms later in life. As we get older our joints begin to lose lubrication, this can also happen earlier due to an injury or excessive stress on the joints as a result of sporting activity or repetitive motion. Once the joint begins to lose moisture we experience the loss of flexibility, and an increase in inflammation which results in stiffness and pain. We need to preserve the cartilage and fluid in all of our joints to maintain flexibility and live an active life.

Once symptoms begin the first thing most people resort to is pain medication however this just masks the underlying problem and does not provide nourishment to improve lubrication to the affected area. Natural supplements Celadrin, MSM, Glucosamine, and Chondroitin have been on the market for years and commonly taken to alleviate arthritic symptoms. Taken in pill form these supplements may take up to several months before individuals begin to feel better therefore most people give up before they even begin to see results. Pills are required to be broken down by the digestive system before the necessary ingredients can be absorbed by the bloodstream and intestinal track and it may take that long to get enough of these ingredients into the body to be helpful. Gel-nutrition is a new natural alternative which takes these same proven ingredients and keeps them in a pre-hydrated state so that the body can quickly absorb them into the bloodstream for quick relief of pain and they begins to nourish the body and its joints with-in one hour after ingestion. Positive results have been seen with-in 4 to 72 hours depending on the individual. Now just imagine all 4 natural supplements combined into one powerful gel formula, no more need to take a hand full of pills each day.

Just exactly what are these ingredients and what do they do?

Celadrin – or cetyl myristoleate is a blend of cetylated fatty acids that provides lubrication to the joints. Blended, invented and patented by chemist Harry Diehl PhD cetyl myristoleate was found to circulate in the blood of mice and made them immune to arthritis. Celadrin may also act as an anti-inflammatory agent.

MSM – or methylsulfonylmethane is a naturally occurring, organic, sulfur compound. Taken as a nutritional dietary source of sulfur, which is the 4th most abundant element in the human body, MSM is necessary for making and repairing cartilage. MSM has been shown to relieve pain as a result of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis

Glucosamine – is a small carbohydrate molecule which is naturally synthesized (produced) in the body. This synthesis declines with aging therefore the need to supplement. Glucosamine supports cartilage maintenance and strength therefore reducing and relieving joint pain.

Chondroitin – or chondroitin sulfate is naturally synthesized in the body and supports strong cartilage. Chondroitin protects existing cartilage by reducing water loss and by slowing the breakdown of the cartilage. Glucosamine and Chondroitin work together to protect the cartilage from wear and tear and help it maintain its strength.

As you can see each ingredient has its own job to do and how all 4 are necessary to maintaining healthy joints and reducing pain. To learn more about gel-nutrition visit www.agelhealthandwellness.com.

My Story – The straw that broke the camels back was the day that I broke into tears at work over a situation that I found to be frustrating. Never in my 27 year career had I lost emotional control in my work environment. Growing up in a stiff British home very seldom did I ever lose emotional control over anything? The problem….chronic pain. After years of working on a computer that was not properly set up for my work station I had developed osteo-degenerative arthritis in my neck. I lived every day with a stiff neck, to the point that I had difficulty driving a vehicle and I was having weekly migraines. I was eating over the counter pain pills like they were candy and my doctor eventually put me on a pain medication called Vioxx. This drug was pulled off the shelves after I had taken it for 18 months and could no longer be prescribed. I spent over 2 years and thousands of dollars trying to get rid of the pain and put some mobility back into my neck. I worked with a message therapist, physio therapist and a chiropractor on a weekly basis to get the situation under control. Sound familiar to any of you. Well the pain became manageable however it never fully went away until I began to take a gel-nutrition formula which contained all of the above noted ingredients. The pain medication just masked the problem and all the therapy in the world was not going to put lubrication back into my joints, calm down the inflammation and strengthen the cartilage between my vertebrae. Now having said that, the therapy was also necessary to ease the muscle tightness which had happened around the affected area.

Like many I had tried MSM and Glucosamine in pill form however became impatient due to the slow results. People who are living with chronic pain want quick results even thought I fully realized this problem took years to create and would not be fixed over night. Today I am happy to say that I am pain free, even my ankles, which suffered many years of abuse from jogging and sport activity. My pain and stiffness eased after giving my body the proper nutrition for only 1 week. My symptoms were gone after 2 weeks.

Do your body a favor, educate yourself on gel-nutrition and begin to enjoy life.

Celadrin is a Trademark

Trials On Vaporizers

October 27th, 2008 by admin

Trials On Vaporizers

Vaporizers are used by people who want to enjoy the flavor of mild puffs of smoke. These days many companies manufacture vaporizers. Various tests for different features of vaporizers can be performed for selection of the best vaporizers. These tests can be performed on features like flavor, efficiency, vapor to smoke ratio, session ability test, style test, portability test, versatility test, value test, satisfaction test etc. The test for flavor means testing the flavor score. Flavor score tells that how efficiently a vaporizer is able to deliver the taste of the herb which is being burnt in it. Higher the value of flavor score means better is quality of vaporizer. Some vaporizers are not able to deliver same flavor and fragrance of herb as is done through smoking. Those kinds of vaporizers are less enjoyable for people who are in habit of smoking from a long period of time. Thus these vaporizers annoy long term smokers. Vaporizers should have efficiency of transferring fragrance of herb without the smell of burning of it. A vaporizer can be categorized as a good one only if smell of combustion does not provide a hindrance in enjoyment of vapors of herb. Second test to be performed on vaporizer is efficiency test. Efficiency test means testing the quality of vaporizer in regards to wastage of herb. A vaporizer which wastes more herbs rather than producing a good aroma is not a good vaporizer. Efficiency test is difficult to conduct as some vaporizers collect vapors in chamber rather than wasting herb. Basically efficiency test tells how good a vaporizer is in extracting the required elements of herb without its wastage. Vapor efficiency rating is reduced if vapors escape from openings in chamber. This problem arises at high temperatures when lots of vapors are produced. In case of lower temperatures this is avoided. Third consideration is wait time. Wait time means time taken by vaporizer to initiate burning of herb till the time in which whole of herb is burnt. Some vaporizers take ten to twenty minutes in this process while others can do in one to two minutes. The best vaporizer is in which temperature can be set using digital controls. By use of digital controls variations of temperature can be increase or decrease of two degrees every time. Due this ability of controlling the temperature the vaporizer gains its popularity. The session ability test tells how well can a device be utilized by a group. The session ability test means the capability of a vaporizer to be used by number of people without refilling it again and again at short intervals. Refilling the unit after just one or two hits is very unpleasing. Thus a vaporizer should have good session ability.

Rationale Of Vaporizer Work

October 27th, 2008 by admin

Rationale Of Vaporizer Work

The vaporizer works by heating your substances to the exact temperature the active chemicals such as marijuana, salvia and many other herbs. For instance THC (tetra-hydro-cannabin) and the cannabin like CBN will actually vaporize into a “thin mist”. This “mist” contains the vaporized, active chemicals which are then captured in a small glass dome ready to be inhaled via the tube whenever you want to. When one smokes, the substance is heated to very high temperatures. This temperature (which is much hotter than necessary for inhaling the flavor and essence of a plant) burns the material and causes it to be converted into smoke. This smoke can then be inhaled by the smoker in an attempt to obtain the benefits of the substance. When one vaporizes it will reduce the development of harmful substances and odors to a minimum. This means that even non-smokers find the vaporizer enjoyable. A further advantage of vaporizing is the exploitation of active ingredients, being 3-4 times greater when compared with smoking. Smoke bubble vaporizer is a basic vaporizer that requires no technology what so ever. You place your chosen herbs into the bowl, gently and evenly heat the bowl with a lighter and watch the vapors lift up into the tube for you to inhale. The regular Vaporizer is strong, functional, compact and easy to clean. It is easy to operate, simply turn your vaporizer on with the flick of a switch. With convectional fan forced heating system and adjustable digital temperature control, super deluxe. Many options and most models work on 110 volt and 220 volt. The only disadvantage is the price.The Volcano Vaporizer is the newest development in the area of vaporizer technology. It’s the only vaporizer around that enables you to have the most freedom of movement while “smoking”. Its patented “balloons” makes this unmatched freedom possible – totally detached from the vaporizer itself you can enjoy your herbs or favorite smoking blend. You can inhale from the Vent-Balloon as you please, without taking notice of the burn process itself of the vaporizer device. The Vaporizing of the smoking blends/herbs is made possible by the special membrane pump inside the vaporizer. The specially designed heat dispenser makes it very easy and without any attention from the user, to fill the balloon the most efficient and effective way possible. Because of this the user can just relax and sit back while the precious “mist” builds inside the transparent “balloon”. Besides its superb functionality the vaporizer is also famous because of its quality and reliability – we really believe it’s the best vaporizer in the world. Apart from that, its design makes it also pleasing for the eye. The vaporizer is manufactured only from first class materials and components and is assembled by hand only. The quality requirements are met by the standards used in the medical world, which is one of the most quality and fool proof driven in the world.

Warning Signs To Be Aware For Food Allergies

October 27th, 2008 by admin

Warning Signs To Be Aware For Food Allergies

As you may have known already, food allergy is an unusual reaction to food that is elicited by an exposure to certain food types which then creates a response from the immune system. The reaction that the immune system eventually generates will then cause discomfiting symptoms. Looking more closely, food allergens (the ones that causes allergic reactions) are proteins that unfortunately withstood the high temperatures of cooking as well as the acidic substances and enzymes of the gastrointestinal system. These allergens consequently live on to pass through the linings of the gastrointestinal tract, disperse into the blood circulatory system, and travel to organs of target, which results to different allergic symptoms all over the body. Food allergy symptoms are commonly noted as irritation of the skin which may involve hives, eczema, and a simple rash. Other symptoms may also include irritations in the gastrointestinal organs like vomiting, indigestion, diarrhea, stomach aches, and nausea. Through the years, there have been numerous documented allergic reactions seen in a lot of people, the following is additional information about other allergic symptoms that even you have experienced but have failed to take notice: - insomniac tendencies or sleeping difficulties - moodiness - fatigue - heartburn - constipation - symptoms that resemble arthritis - canker sores - nocturnal enuresis or bed wetting - inflammation of the face and lips - rhinitis - migraine - wheezing Furthermore, allergic reactions to a specific kind of food can also generate a specific symptom. Therefore there are symptoms that can pinpoint to a certain type of food allergy which can then be quite useful in figuring out what medications to administer and the formulation of a management plan. In other words, it is possible to determine the source of the allergy by evaluating the symptoms. Simple headaches are usually symptoms of an allergic reaction to chocolates and wheat. Migraines, on the other hand, are typically caused by an allergy to cheese, nuts, citrus fruits, tomatoes, milk, eggs, and MSG or monosodium glutamate. Monosodium glutamate is a chemical used for seasonings in a lot of foods but only those which have excessive amounts can cause allergic reactions. Eczema or atopic dermatitis, which is a swelling and drying of the skin, can be seen in allergies to citrus fruits, eggs, and tomatoes. Hives or urticaria is also a form of skin irritation which is represented by elevated skin welts that are reddish. Hives can be very itchy, this allergic reaction is common among tomatoes, eggs, shellfish, mangoes, pork meat, nuts, and strawberries. Asthma is commonly seen in wheat and egg allergies. There are also allergy manifestations that affect the physical energy, consciousness, and emotions of a person. These reactions can be regularly seen in allergies to wheat, soybeans, corn, and milk. As you may have observed, many types of foods share the same symptoms most of the time. A careful assessment and physical evaluation is needed to at least determine the source of the allergy. It is not only in the symptoms that medical professionals can determine what the source of allergy is but also through blood tests, diet eliminations, and food challenges. Careful assessment of daily food intake by the patient can be of great help in pinpointing the culprit and as well as a comprehensive analysis of the symptoms observed. Furthermore, a consultation with a reputable allergist who will be part of the medical team can assist you in fighting your allergy that may have caused you great discomfort in your daily life.

Top Uses Of Inert Greases

October 25th, 2008 by admin

Top Uses Of Inert Greases

Inert greases have a number of different uses, both industrial and in the chemical field. These greases have a number of useful properties which make them ideal in a number of situations, in some cases making them vastly superior to existing alternatives. What follows is an overview of exactly what inert greases are as well as some of the varied uses for them in industry and chemistry; keep in mind that these are not all of the ways in which inert greases can be used, but are instead just the most common.What Inert Greases AreUnlike some other lubrication options, inert greases are not flammable nor are they able to react chemically with highly reactive metals or other materials. These greases are rendered chemically inert by saturating them with halogen, a process which blocks them from being able to react with other materials (even those which tend to react readily with most materials.) This saturation process also gives the grease a number of other properties such as the ability to maintain its structural integrity even at high temperatures, a high density, a low compression under pressure, and a significant resistance to breaking down when electricity is applied to it.Industrial UsesInert greases are used by industry largely to take advantage of the inflammability, resistance to thermal breakdown, resistance to compression, and resistance to breakdown caused by electrical current. Many of these properties are valued in combination, but because of the versatility of inert grease some industrial uses prefer certain properties individually.Industries which deal with large quantities of heat such as metal works and manufacturing usually value inert greases because they aren%26#8217;t going to catch on fire even when temperatures get high. Along the same lines, the resistance to thermal breakdown is a valuable asset because it prevents the lubrication that the grease provides from thinning as it breaks down at high temperatures (meaning that less grease needs to be used and greatly reducing the chance of machinery breaking down because of insufficient lubrication.)A number of industries also make use of inert greases in order to help with the lubrication or functioning of hydraulic systems. The density and resistance to compression helps to keep the hydraulic system working correctly while keeping the necessary resistance in the system even under extreme pressure.Chemistry UsesJust as industry makes use of inert greases for a number of purposes, chemists and labs make use of these greases for a variety of reasons. In addition to providing the same resistance to heat and thermal breakdown that industry makes use of, the resistance to chemical reaction is of prime importance in these situations. A number of materials which are used by chemists react easily with common elements, and many types of lubrication can%26#8217;t be used with them for fear of reaction. Inert greases can even be used to help protect these materials from elements in the air that they might react with, since the grease can be used as a coating to keep air from contacting the materials while not reacting with the materials itself.Electronics and Computer UsesInert greases can be very useful in lubricating moving parts in electronic devices and computers, since they are generally unaffected by electrical fields or currents because of their high resistance to electrical breakdown. Since the inert grease won%26#8217;t react with the metals in the electronic devices, they also eliminate the chance that the lubrication used might cause rust or other forms of oxidation which could damage the device or significantly reduce its working lifespan.Other UsesIn addition to the uses mentioned above, inert greases can be used as a lubricant in most any situation. Pretty much any petroleum-based grease that you might use around the house can be replaced with inert grease, in many cases providing an increased performance over the petroleum-based version. Because the grease doesn%26#8217;t have the same reliance on fossil fuels as some other greases; this can be very useful for individuals, businesses, and industries who are trying to reduce their carbon footprint and use polymer-based solutions instead of petroleum- or carbon-based solutions. With the rising costs of petroleum, this can also result in a significantly reduced cost when choosing lubricants because the polymer-based inert grease won%26#8217;t suffer as large of an increase in price as those which are based directly off of petroleum products.
