disinfectants - Bio-Protect - Advanced Anti-Bacterial Solution

Bio-Protect is an antibacterial surface protectant that prevents the growth of harmful bacteria, fungus, mold and mildew. It can be applied to almost any surface and will work for up to 90 days protecting you, your family, co-workers, or your customers from dangerous germs.

* Bio-Protect is the only antimicrobial technology that perform without disfusion or leaching off the applied substrate.

* It protects the applied surface between cleanings

* Bound technology -- unlike conventional disinfectants, poisons, phenols or heavy metals, our technology performs while bound to the applied surface (substrate).

* Residual Efficacy -- Unlike other antimicrobials, our product's efficacy remains for a long period of time. Our Bio-Protect EPA registered label specifies reapplication every 90 days. Bio-Protect has been independently tested for 100 standard washes.

* Porous and Non porous Surfaces -- It is against the law to apply many antimicrobials to porous materials. Our technology allows for both porous and nonporous materials.

* Effective Against a Broad Spectrum of Microbes -- EPA registered for a broad array of bacteria, fungi and yeasts.

* No Super Bugs -- There is no known or anticipated risk for microbes to mutate to a Super Bug. This is due to the bound technology of Bio-Protect. Other technologies work by "uploading" into the microorganism resulting sometimes in a mutation of the original microorganism. See News.

* Shelf Life -Bio-Protect has a 1 year shelf life or longer unopened. Once opened, use in 1 year.

* Ease of Use -- Bio-Protect can be applied in or on almost any substrate. A covalent bond forms with the applied substrate to ensure durability in multiple environments including water, solvents and chemicals.

* Safety -- Bio-Protect is a completely water-based formulation. It is easily used by field personnel using a basic backpack sprayer or fogger. Bio-Protect has a long safety record with many manufacturers. This product does not heavy metals, arsenic, tin, phenols or poisons.

* Green -- No antimicrobial can be "certified" as green per EPA policy. Bio-Protect is as green as an antimicrobial can be due to its bound technology and lack of hazardous chemicals or toxins. The products will eventually break down to carbon dioxide, nitrous dioxide and silicon dioxide. Bio-Protect is the obvious choice when considering the environment and our concern for super bugs.

Get the Net Present Value of a Project Calculation - Finance in Excel - NPV()

his tutorial shows you how to get the Net Present Value of a project or business venture in the future using excel. You can do this very easily in excel spreadsheets and this will teach you how to do that using the estimated cash flows of a project. The NPV() function is used for the calculations. This is also a basic discounted cash flows example. This includes discount rate and number of periods in order to use the npv function.

To follow along with the spreadsheet used in the video and also to get free excel macros, tips, and more video tutorials, go to the site:

The inside of a dishwasher

Our dishwasher has been doing a poor job of cleaning the dishes lately. And I've always wanted to see what it looks like inside a dishwasher during the cycle. So I cut a piece of acrylic, screwed on a few 1x2's, tricked the dishwasher into thinking the door was closed, and let 'er rip.

Note that overriding the "door closed" sensor isn't exactly safe--I found out the hard way a while back that the position switches carry 120VAC.

It became immediately apparent why the dishes weren't being cleaned--the spray arms weren't spinning. So I did a little cleaning here, a little modification there, and now the dishwasher works better. A follow-up video showing the fix is in the works...

satellite directory map - How to Create a Garmin Custom Map

This is a tutorial on how to create a custom Garmin map by using google earth to create a KMZ file with an image overlay. Then take the KMZ file and drop it into your CustomMaps folder on your Garmin device. In this example, I am using a GPSMAP 62s.

Compatible models are:
Dakota
Oregon
Colorado
GPSMAP 62 series
GPSMAP 78 series

Other notes: the size of the image overlay should be up to 2000x2000, otherwise you will have problem with google earth. Also resize the images to 155 dpi if they are higher. Don't need to increase from 72dpi up, as that won't make a difference and only will increase file size.
