			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Buying a land with prehistoric mineral deposits is really interesting and exciting since we are not only buying a land but are also becoming the owners of the minerals beneath the land which bring us more benefits. So, whenever we are going for a purchase of such land it is important to note few points and they are as follows.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When buying the property in the areas of potential mineral development, the primary thing is to investigate whether the fee simple estate of the property is being purchased or whether the ownership is being shared with others. Make sure that the seller has sole rights on the property and the minerals under the property is a fee simple estate or not. Even though the mineral right transactions are done by the public, the copies of deeds and other agreements are filed at the government office.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The buyer of such property should make sure that all the rights conveyed by the seller are genuine with the help of the attorney. Also confirm that the seller is the sole owner of what is being sold. A professional attorney who has sound knowledge in all these mineral transactions and deals will help to check whether the seller owns all the rights of the surface as well as the minerals since in government deeds, the ownership of the surface and the ownership of mineral rights will be recorded differently and the individual documents will never tell you the complete fact about the sellers ownership. Hence in order to research all these things an attorney is quite essential.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Glow sticks are light emitting tubes which does not produce any heat. They does not require any electricity or any other sources like batteries to light. So, what makes them glow? The answer is just a chemical reaction. Long back in 1970s our scientists became successful in inventing two chemical components which emit light when combined together. Even though they emit light they don&#8217;t produce any kind of electricity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If we observe the construction of a glow stick it contains a plastic, transparent tube, which contains a glass vial filled with some chemical. The tube also holds some chemical substance along with the glass vial. The glass vial holds hydrogen peroxide and the plastic tube holds dye and diphenyl oxalate chemicals. These are the two substances which glow when combined together.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the outer plastic container is bent, the glass vial inside it breaks releasing the chemical solution in to the other solution. When the tube is shaken the two substances mix with each other creating a chemical reaction that generates light. The chemical reaction is know as chemiluminescence. This reaction emits only light but not heat.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We can also increase the brightness of the light in glow sticks by placing them in hot climatic conditions. But exposing to higher temperatures decrease the life period of the glow stick. Conversely, exposing it to cool environments increases their life time but makes the light dull.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Glow sticks are non flammable, water resistant, and are apt for some situations like gas leakage. They are less expensive, easy to handle and can be carried away to any place easily. They are more useful for emergency situations. Especially when there are natural calamities they are highly helpful for rescue operations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Glow sticks are widely used for different purposes all over the world. Especially in military they are of immense use. Many departments in the military are using them. Less weight, small size, single source of energy, non fire producing factor made them so helpful in many rescue operations. Many of us are not aware of the fact that those glow sticks are invented by military people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the year 1962, researchers at China Lake Naval Weapons center in California began to develop some non fire producing chemical substances which have long lasting luminous intensity and efficiency to withstand in extreme temperatures. Their experiments resulted in two chemical compounds which glow when combined together. They learned that peroxide and sodium could react to create chemical light. Using these substances they constructed a translucent tube which contains another tube containing the solution immersed in a chemical solution. When using it one has to bend the tube in order to make the tube inside to break and release the solution and that&#8217;s how the two solutions mix with each other.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These sticks were first used by navy for different activities like target marking, helicopter landing zone marking, as emergency lights, man over-board float lights, para drop operations and so on. Later the military and other departments started using them for multiple purposes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are several US patents for Glow sticks, and most of them are assigned to US navy. The first patent which include some inventors was filed in 1965. Later in 1973 and 1974, two other patents were filed with different inventors. In December, 1977 a patent was issued with Richard Taylor Van Zandt as the inventor. This design improved upon the previous designs by adding a steel ball inside the plastic tube that when shaken would break the glass ampoule.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However the invention is found useful and with the invent of latest Infrared glow sticks many rescue operations and military light operations are perfectly planned and well organized by the military people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Barrels are nothing but cylindrical containers which are made up of either wood, plastic, or stainless steel. These containers have a convex shape which are bound with iron or wooden hoops. Traditional barrels were made of wood and had an bulging shape at the middle. This structure of barrel makes it easy to roll and that&#8217;s how people put very little effort in carrying them. For several years, these barrels have been used for shipping goods and for storage purposes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coming to the history of barrels, they were seen long back in 23rd century, from the area named Burgundy. Palm wood casks are used for their construction during those days. Around 350 B.C  air tight, convex shaped wooden containers which were able to withstand stress and were comfortable to carry by rolling, were in use. During that time, these barrels are not only used for carrying wine, water, vinegar and oil but are also used to store and carry precious gems, stones, gold coins different food items, pickled foods etc.,</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Romans started using these barrels in the 3rd century AD. And the people who made these barrels were called as Coopers. Researches of the archeological department had found some tools of cooper&#8217;s dated 100 B.C. During 18th century, one third of all the goods were transported in barrels. For nearly 2000 years barrels served as a best means for transporting goods. They were  used for carrying any kind of materials starting from nails, gun powder, to precious metals and diamonds. Even though crates and bags are cheaper than barrels, people preferred barrels to them, since they found that carrying barrels is even more convenient. These barrels slowly lost their importance during 20th century, with the invention of logistics and large containers for carrying goods. But still they din&#8217;t lost their importance in the manufacturing of some beverages.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Submersible fishing lights are used under water, to attract fish. These waterproof fishing lights can be submerged to the depth of the water. There are few instructions to build the submersible fishing lights, such as:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First take an empty 2 ltr bottle and put nuts and bolts into it until it sinks in water. Later add few more nuts and keep it side.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Add the 5 inches of solid copper wire into a single filament automotive bulb&#8217;s primary and ground contacts by using solder. Use a red colored wire the center pole and black colored wire for the body of the bulb. Cover the soldered bulb wires with duct tape to support the connection. Leave the glass of the bulb which is to be exposed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Make a small hole into the bottle cap, which should be sufficient to push the both of the solid wires with the bulb on the screw side. Leave around 4½ inches space between the bulb and cap.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In order to seal the wires to the cap apply silicon liberally to both sides of the bottle cap. Make sure that you leave enough screw threads visible to secure the cap to the bottle. Give some time to silicon to dry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Later solder loose ends of the solid wires to separate, but equal lengths of 14 gauge wires. Silicone can be applied to both solder points and make it dry. Cover the points individually by using duct tape.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Put the cap onto the bottle, after placing the bulb into the body of the bottle. There should be a space around the bulb to not to touch the sides of the bottle. In order to create an empty space, press in on the sides of the bottle before tightening the cap. Heat of the bulb can cause the air to expand, therefore it will break.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By using silicon, seal the cap onto the bottle, make it dry. Cover the cap by using duct tape. Connect the exposed ends of the wire to correct posts of a battery. Submerge the entire bottle to the equalizing depth of the air and bolts inside of it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Colors that can be combined to make a wide range of colors are called Primary colors. Humans generally consider three colors as primary because human color vision is trichromatic. Which means a human eye has only three types of color receptors generally called as cone cells. Each cone cell senses different ranges of color spectrum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Additive Primary Colors:</strong><br />
The colors Red, Green and Blue are generally termed as the additive primary colors. When we add equal amounts of light of these colors, white light is evolved. Simply, humans can see white light when we add these colors, so they are called as additive primary colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Subtractive Primary Colors</strong><br />
The colors cyan, yellow, and magenta are also generally called as subtractive primary colors. When we subtract the primary additive colors viz. red, green, and blue from white light the, each of these (subtractive primaries) are formed. Therefore they are called as subtractive primary colors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However the choice of primary colors is different for different people in different fields. Additive primary colors are widely used in television and computer video displays. Whereas, the subtractive colors Cyan, Magenta, and yellow are used in printing industry.</p>
