How long do roses in a vase last?
I work at a wholesale floral distributor. Certain rose varieties last longer (or shorter) than other varieties. Also, a lot has to do with how fresh the roses were before they arrived at the wholesaler, as well as how long they sat in the wholesaler's cooler before they went to the florist, and how long they sat in the florist's cooler before the go to the consumer. Then a lot has to do with where you place them at home. Near a heater is a very bad place. In a window with direct sunlight is also bad. Roses drink a lot of water. If your vase dried up, or if the water in the vase isn't changed, the roses will die quickly. Roses (and all other cut flowers) don't like below freezing temperatures either.Also good to note... the demand for roses at Valentine's increases by at least 10 fold compared to a "normal" week in the flower business. It is practically impossible for every rose to be cut fresh in Colombia or Ecuador (where the vast majority of roses in the USA come from), then shipped to a distributor in Miami (where most roses are imported to), and then shipped for a few days on a truck to your nearby wholesaler, then shipped to your local retailer, then arranged and delivered to your door. This process during a non-Valentine's time of year takes at least 10-14 days to get from farm to consumer. To suddenly have Valentines means you have to have 10x the amount of acreage, workers, trucks, wholesalers, and florists. The ONLY way to make this happen is for growers to start cutting flowers WEEKS ahead of time. There are simply not enough flights, not enough cargo space, etc to make EVERY rose be "fresh cut".It's the same as going to a restaurant during any major holiday (Valentine's day, Mother's day, etc). The restaurant is too busy to pay attention to details such as quality preparation and good customer service.
Are electronic cigarettes safer relative to tobacco cigarettes?
It is 100% certain that e-cigarettes are far safer than smoked tobacco cigarettes (or any smoke inhalation), but nothing is 100% safe. Living is not safe, water can kill, and the poison is in the dose, to quote three obvious and often-repeated statements. The ingredients are very simple and well-studied, including for inhalation, with the exception of flavours. There are now thousands of studies and research papers and the only ones that indicate harm use methods that will never occur in real-life use, publicised to frighten people away from them. As many studies show that e-cigarette users are almost 100% smokers who were unable to quit or had no wish to, these unfounded claims serve only to keep smokers smoking.Many studies used to claim that these devices are unsafe rely on studies that were designed for a completely different purpose (such as 'how many people had tried an e-cigarette at some point in their lifetime') are then used to claim, for example, that teenagers who do not smoke are using them, when all these studies can say is that some teenagers have had a single puff on one out of curiosity, probably on one with no nicotine.At present there is a political battle by people who want e-cigarettes banned or so heavily regulated that only tobacco companies could market ineffective and very expensive products of a type that have already been shown to be as much of a failure in quitting smoking as smoking cessation medication and NRT.We know that long-term use of nicotine is harmless, thanks to NRT, and we know the same for propylene glycol because it is used as a carrier of medicines for inhalation (such as asthma inhalers). We do not know the long-term effects of vaping but we can be confident that they will be far less than for smoking because of our knowledge of the chemicals used. A starting point for research is E-cigarette Research. Dr Farsalinos is a rare researcher, one who will not allow funding to influence him, so his honesty causes problems obtaining funding, but he performed the first study on flavours, the unknown of vaping. In fact the well-funded US university studying flavours now were unaware that the first study had already been performed and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
How does 7-11 make a profit?
Besides the other answers, 7-11 and other convenience stores only stock items that sell quickly. If you pay $1.00 for an item and sell it for $1.05, you've made 5% profit. But if you sell it 3 days after you've bought it, and spend the $1.00 restocking it, and sell it again in 3 days, and repeat the process, then in a year, your initial $1.00 investment has made more than 500% in profits. If something sits on the shelf for a month before it sells, it's probably not going to be restocked - it's going to be replaced with something that sells faster. In some parts of the US, pork rinds sell fast and are stocked. But not in Rochester, NY. There's a more sophisticated version of this: only stock as much of a product as you can sell quickly. This is shelf-space optimization. I would bet that help with this is one of the key value-adds that the international corporation provides local franchisees. Caveat: I've never worked in a convenience store. My information comes from people who've worked in the grocery business. I made up the specific numbers in this answer. But I believe they are about right.
How long will a 3000 mAh battery last?
I have been using LENOVO K3 NOTE for almost three years. Company claims it has 3000mAh battery but the truth is it has 2900mAh. yeah I know the question is about 3000mAh , but 100mAh nowadays can be negligible.Firstly,This is my own experience. It may vary person to person depending upon how he/she uses.One more thing I want to add here , is the charging discharge is from 100% to 15%.The charge of my phone’s battery last up to 2 days if I use it as a featured phone. means only for incoming and outgoing calls, that’s it.If I use all the things like calling, browsing, messaging, etc. (for what smartphones has been manufactured), then the charge of my phone lasts up to 14 hours.Hope this will help you. Thanks for reading.
Can you prove that e-cigs are safe?
Question: “Can you prove that e-cigs are safe?”Can you prove that taking a bath is safe? Even if you tried it, all I had to do is to present some links like the ones below to disprove you:Bathtub Accidents Injure 43,000 U.S. Kids Each Yearhttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/1...Meaning: Nothing in life is safE, but we can always choose safER alternatives.E-cigarettes around 95% less harmful than tobacco estimates landmark reviewComparative In Vitro Toxicity Profile of Electronic and Tobacco Cigarettes, Smokeless Tobacco and Nicotine Replacement Therapy Products: E-Liquids, Extracts and Collected AerosolsComparison of select analytes in aerosol from e-cigarettes with smoke from conventional cigarettes and with ambient airLevels of selected carcinogens and toxicants in vapour from electronic cigarettesEffect of smoking abstinence and reduction in asthmatic smokers switching to electronic cigarettes: evidence for harm reversal.Electronic cigarette use and harm reversal: emerging evidence in the lungEffect of Smoking Abstinence and Reduction in Asthmatic Smokers Switching to Electronic Cigarettes: Evidence for Harm ReversalComparison of the effects of e-cigarette vapor and cigarette smoke on indoor air quality.Of course, e-cig opponents may argue that the jury is still out on the flavorings. That we need long-term studies to really know, once and for all, about their effects.The same could be said about cellphones and WIFI radiations, and new food colorings or preservatives. Are we 100% certain, today, that those are 100% safe?And yet, I do not see them treating their phones, their WIFI, or the food they eat, the same way they would have us treat our e-cigs: “Careful with that”, “You should refrain from using it”, “We do know the whole story yet”…Not even medicines are studied long-term before being released. That’s why we see some medicines being taken off the shelves 10, 15, 20 years after being released.And that’s because the only way to make a reliable long-term study is to let a large population use the product for a long time. E-cigarettes are no exception.Supporting an e-cig ban today, because “we have no long-term studies” is silly, because it will only ensure that we will not have long-term studies in the future.
How do you feel about the FDA calling vaping an epidemic?
Complete horseshit. The FDA (and American Feds in General) have a history of getting things terribly wrong. The idea that the FDA, an entity that has a revolving door with Monsanto, can actually be trusted is insane. They’ve messed up so many times in the past – aspartame, GMO, to name just a couple of recent clangers.The UK and Canada have taken the correct approach; they’ve done their research, looked at the facts. The idea that kids vaping is a problem of epidemic proportions is INSANE. I was a kid once, I smoked – and then I smoked for 15 years.Kids try things; it’s basically their nature. And if my boy ever tried nicotine, which I’m sure he will, I’d 10000% prefer it to be a vape.The history of the FDA’s war on vaping is long and full of missteps – see here: The War on Vaping is About MONEY –– NOT Your Well Being. You got to wonder who’s calling the shots in that place?! Big Pharma? Big Tobacco? Inter-dimensional shape-shifting lizards!? Your guess is as good as mine.What’s happening right now is shameful. We finally have a direct method to kill smoking and they want to stop it!? They can’t even think of an original angle; it’s the same old, “oh… please, will somebody think of the children” bullshit.That’s what IDs are for. Kids CANNOT buy vapes; it’s the responsibility of parents and retailers to curb this, not some freakin’ proto-fascist federal agency.Go figure…
What would happen if a bullet was thrown into a fire or exposed to an open flame?
If the scenario in the picture is anything you intend to try, it would be very stupid to carry it out, no matter whether your intent is as a prank or for actual harm. DO NOT DO THIS EVER.We are speaking about cartridges here, not bullets. A bullet is the projectile part only, and these do nothing if dropped in a fire, unless perhaps they happen to be tracer or incendiary bullets. They are generally just hunks of metal.A cartridge has flammable components, specifically a primer and propellant, also known as powder. These can be heated in a flame to their ignition point, causing the cartridge to discharge. However, in spite of common misperceptions about what happens at this point, there is not a lot of velocity imparted to the projectile when the cartridge ‘cooks off’. Without the chamber and barrel provided by a firearm to contain the gasses produced by the burning propellant, those gasses are released to the atmosphere once the projectile/bullet is pushed out of the cartridge case. The bullet will have some velocity and energy, but only a very small fraction of what it would normally produce in a firearm. With any reasonable distance (several feet or so) available, there is little risk of harm, though centerfire rifle rounds might warrant a bit more distance. As close as the picture shows, though, there would be risks of tissue punctures and severe burns from propellant burning at high temperatures.Again, DO NOT DO THIS. It is not an effective way to kill, and is way too dangerous to be a prank. If you did this intentionally to a person it would be highly illegal, resulting in the affected person needing medical treatment, and ensuing notification of law enforcement.
Where can I buy e-liquids online in India?
As the number of vaping users is increasing in India with each passing, thanks to e-cigarettes for being less harmful than traditional cigarettes, you can find a vapor shop in your city. Plus, there are a plenty of online stores that deal in different types of vaping products. But before choosing any of them, make sure to consider important things.The dealer must be trustworthy. The store must be a popular name of the Indian vape industry.Check its reviews. Try to contact its previous customers and ask them about its products' quality and delivery services.Ensure that the store is selling branded e-liquid flavors. Don't go after an e-liquid with a cheap price.The store must have a wide range of e-liquid flavors.I have been vaping for two years and ordered e-liquids from two different Indian stores. The first store delivered the wrong flavor and when I tried to contact the store to register the issue, they didn't respond. The second experience was also horrible. Although I won't mention this online store's name, it's a renowned store over the Internet. They charged a huge price for an e-liquid and delivered it after one month. After that, I stopped buying anything from an Indian online store.As the UK vape market is the best in the world, I have been purchasing different vape products from UK online stores. For e-liquids, I prefer Vapour Depot. They deliver in India and can be contacted easily regarding a query. Plus, their store features many kinds of e-liquid flavors. Last week , I got Nasty Juice Cush Man Series Grape. It's a highly- recommended brand. I also like the store's quick services. You can also try it.
