Ruskin, FL (PRWEB) — Adding the right palm will increase aesthetic and property value while planting the wrong palm can be a very expensive lesson. AQualityPlant.com has launched a free website with a comprehensive plant guide.

Palms are a beautiful natural symbol of the tropics and a favorite addition to private and public landscapes around the globe. To make the best decision also consider size, growth rate, cold hardiness, watering requirements, maintenance, salt tolerance and light requirements.

Palms come in sizes that range from just a few feet tall, like the Bamboo Cane Palm (Chamaedorea elegans) or nearly two hundred feet tall, like the Wax Palm (Ceroxylon quindiuense). Some will max out at only a couple feet wide while others can grow to over fifty feet wide. It is important to know the mature size of a palm before making a selection.

Palms also grow at different rates that are influenced by natures design, growing conditions and the care given by their owner. Tropical palms grow faster than those from desert or temperate regions. Palms like the Medjool Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) grow fastest in a desert climate where daily temperatures well over 100 degrees will suit them just fine. Windmill Palms (Trachycarpus fortunii) prefer a Mediterranean climate and can even tolerate temperatures near zero degrees Fahrenheit.

Buyers often forget to check a palm’s cold hardiness until it’s too late like during a major cold event. there are several varieties of cold hardy palms that can endure freezing temperatures for many hours. Some cold hardy palms can even withstand snow and sub-zero (F) temperatures. Popular choices include the Pindo Palm (Butia capitata), the Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunii), the European Fan Palm (Chamaerhopps humilis) and the Medjool Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera).

The watering requirements for palms can vary greatly. Palms planted in fast draining sandy soil will require more frequent watering than those grown in clay based soils. Be sure to account for average rainfall amounts and watering restrictions during the selection process.

Climate compatibility is less of a concern when native palms are used. These palms have garnered recent attention and are highly recommended in most municipalities. Many home owners have jumped on the bandwagon by choosing native palms for their landscapes. In Florida, palms like the Florida Sabal Palm (Sabal palmetto), the Thatch Palm (Thrinax radiata) and the Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) have grown significantly in popularity.

Contrary to popular belief, not all palms can tolerate full sun. Some even require full shade. Most common landscaping palms tend to be the full sun varieties like the Washington Palm (Washingtonia robusta), the Queen Palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana), the Bismark Palm (Bismarkia nobilis) and the Pigmy Date Palm (Phoenix roebelenii). Common shade loving palms include the Bamboo Cane Palms (Chamaedoria Species), Dwarf Sugar Palm (Arenga engleri) and the Fishtail Palm (Caryota mitis).

Salt tolerance of palms is an important consideration for landscapes adjacent to bays, gulfs or oceans. Salt spray can damage foliage while salt water flooding can contaminate soil for years. Storm surges in the Florida Keys made this apparent to many homeowners and municipalities. After having their roots submerged for hours, many palms, including native species, suffered. One palm that did surprisingly well was not native at all. The Medjool Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera) was among the least damaged by the salt intrusion into the soil. It was noted by residents and has become a welcome addition to many landscapes in the keys.

Some palms can have unintended consequences for their owners. Palms with large seeds like the Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) should not be planted where the falling coconuts can cause damage like over a driveway or walkway. Similarly, palms with extra large fronds planted close to your house could result in damage to the roof or gutters when they fall from great heights or get blown about in heavy winds. Consider that the fronds on Royal Palms (Roystonea regia) can way fifty pounds or more on taller specimens.

AQualityPlant.com has a free database that consumers can use to review all of the characteristics of hundreds of palm species from the comfort of their keyboard. Most have pictures and detailed descriptions to make the selection process foolproof. It’s a great place to start when deciding on a new palm.

Some maintenance will be required to preserve an attractive and healthy palm once it has been established in the new landscape. The maintenance plan should always include a trimming and fertilization schedule. Trimming should be done on brown or yellowed foliage. Trimming green fronds in an attempt to save time can prevent a palm from achieving adequate photosynthesis which can deter growth and fruiting. Some palms like the Royal Palm (Roystonea regia) and the Foxtail Palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) are self cleaning. They don’t require pruning. The fronds will brown and then fall to the ground within a week or two. Unfortunately for those in subtropical and temperate climates, self cleaning palms are not cold hardy.

A palm fertilizer that includes a micro-nutrient package of boron, iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc and copper should be applied a minimum of twice per year. Once in the spring and once in the fall is sufficient. These micro nutrients are necessary for palms to grow healthy and strong. Fertilizing a third or even forth time will push rapid growth. This is common practice in the nursery trade to grow a sell-able plant faster. These micro nutrients are necessary for palms to grow healthy and strong.

Choosing the right palm is easy when all the factors are carefully considered. Regardless on the unique landscaping circumstances, among the hundreds of palm species there are certainly several beautiful choices that will be a perfect fit.

National Bulk Equipment, Inc. (NBE) announces the precision accuracy of NTEP-certified weigh systems is now integral to the design and manufacture of NBE bulk bag filling and NBE bulk container filling equipment. The precision accuracy of NBE NTEP-certified weigh systems measure material weights to an accuracy of +/- .01%, up to a total container capacity of 4,500 pounds.

Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) — NBE NTEP-certified weigh systems provide processing and packaging operations running bulk bag filling and bulk container filling equipment the confidence that each filled container weight is certified accurate, material volumes are precise, material loss is eliminated, and line operations are optimized. The precision accuracy of NBE NTEP-certified weigh systems measure material weights to an accuracy of +/- .01%, up to a total container capacity of 4,500 pounds. To receive National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) certification, NBE weigh systems met rigorous certification testing standards; including producing over 7,000 consecutive weigh cycles, each within a +/- .01% weight accuracy tolerance.

The assured accuracy and repeatability of NBE NTEP-certified weigh systems is the result of specific engineering, fabrication, and design-stage integration of NTEP-certified weigh devices into NBE bulk bag filling equipment and bulk container filling systems. Typical bolt-on load cells or third-party NTEP scale components may produce variable weight outcomes if not properly calibrated and fabricated to the host filling system. NBE NTEP-certified weigh systems enable bulk material packaging and processing operations to run at designed line speeds when filling bulk bags, drums, gaylords, cartons, totes, or other bulk containers. Within an 8-hour, single shift per-day packaging environment, at a +/- .01% weight accuracy, NBE NTEP-certified weigh systems have proven to reduce annual material waste by 1,728 pounds per year, and reduce filling equipment operator labor allocation by 2.4 hours per day.

NBE integrated automation centralizes the control, communication, sensing, monitoring, and reporting of NTEP-certified weigh devices into the complete system-wide control layer. A single, menu-driven, touch screen HMI enables one operator to safely direct the entire fill cycle without potentially harmful interaction with equipment. NBE NTEP-certified bulk bag filling and bulk container filling systems improve finished package quality, eliminate material waste and package re-work, increase labor safety and efficiency, and optimize total line throughput.

Richmond, Va. (PRWEB) — Every year, Philip Morris International (PMI), through its International Tobacco Procurement (ITP) Scholarship program, provides financial assistance to hundreds of U.S. students from tobacco-growing families. In 2009, 30 new students were awarded scholarships. Since the program’s inception in 2001 – it was launched as a joint effort with Altria, and is now funded solely by PMI – more than 350 students have been awarded nearly $1.5 million in educational scholarships.

“With the ITP Scholarship program, PMI helps support students throughout the full length of their schooling,” says Lee Ryan, PMI Director of Agricultural Programs. “At any one time, we’re assisting between 130 and 150 students from our tobacco-growing families.”

Scholarships are available to the dependent children of tobacco growers who are part of PMI’s ITP program. The program offers three types of scholarships:

* College scholarships – For high school seniors planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
* In-college scholarships – For college students pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree.
* Vocational/Technical scholarships – For high school seniors or graduates planning to pursue a two-year vocational or technical degree.

Scholarship amounts are based on a combination of merit and financial need. The maximum College Scholarship is $4,000 annually for four years; the maximum In-College award is $4,000 for three years; and the maximum Vocational/Technical Scholarship is $2,000 annually for two years.

Winners are chosen by an independent Scholarship Review Committee of college admissions officers, financial aid administrators and vocational educators. The Committee selects winners based on several factors, including each applicant’s high school academic record; class rank and ACT or SAT scores; extracurricular activities; demonstrated leadership; community service; character; and work habits.

“Growing tobacco is still very demanding,” Ryan says. “We’re honored to provide educational support for the families who provide us with the high quality tobacco used in PMI brands sold around the world.”

Scholarship applications for 2010 are due Feb. 1, 2010. For more information about the ITP Scholarship program, contact your local PMI receiving station.

Hopkins, MN (PRWEB) — Nu-Tek Products has developed a new technology for the meat industry. They developed a natural and organic Soy Extract. This extract is unique in its ability to hold onto water and fat better then current stabilization systems that are in the market place. Studies comparing modified food starches, various fibers and Soy Extract were conducted. Soy extract functioned superior in mainting yields in ground beef.

Studies were conducted comparing various stabilizers that are currently used for the meat industry. Comparisons of modified food starch and other fibers including oat fiber, rice bran and cellulose were compared in a ground beef application. The Ground Beef had 27% fat. The stabilizers were used at a 2% level. Soy extract showed improved yields for the ground beef. It had superior ability to hold onto both moisture and fat during heat applications compared to the other stabilizers. It also would hold onto moisture in the raw state.

Soy Extract is a natural ingredient and is available from Nu-Tek Products. Nu-Tek Products develops new technologies for the food and medical industries.

Alley Cat Allies, the national advocate for feral and stray cats, is offering tips to concerned individuals who want to help feral and stray cats as the nation experiences severe freezing temperatures and strong winds.

Bethesda, MD (Vocus/PRWEB ) — Alley Cat Allies, the national advocate for feral and stray cats, is offering tips to concerned individuals who want to help feral and stray cats as the nation experiences severe freezing temperatures and strong winds.

“As the temperatures continue to plummet and winds increase around the country, it is vital that we take extra steps to ensure the health and safety of outdoor cats,” said Becky Robinson, president of Alley Cat Allies. “While most feral cats are skilled at finding their own food and place to sleep, providing specially-built shelters, extra food and maintaining a fresh water supply is critical to providing them with a leg up to enduring these harsh conditions.”

To help the feral and stray cats in your community hunker down during extreme cold and bitter weather, Alley Cat Allies suggests the following simple steps:

Provide an outdoor shelter and a refuge from the bitter cold and winds:
Shelters are easy and inexpensive to build. You can use the plans available at www.alleycat.org/WinterWeather, or modify a pre-built dog house. Some manufacturers also sell pre-built cat shelters.

The shelter should be elevated off the ground and sited in a quiet, unobtrusive area with a minimal amount of traffic. A good-sized shelter offers a space just big enough for three to five cats to huddle. The door should be no more than six to eight inches wide to keep out wildlife and bigger predators. Install a flap on the door to keep out snow, rain and wind.

In addition to a shelter, you can build a simple feeding station with a roof and sides to protect cats from the elements while they eat.

Insulate the shelter against moisture as well as cold:
Straw resists the wet and keeps a shelter warm, and is the best choice for insulation and bedding. Blankets are not a good idea, as they absorb moisture like a sponge.

If you have a shed or garage, allow cats to have access during winter and severe weather. But remove dangerous anti-freeze products which are lethal to animals when consumed.

Provide fresh water daily and additional food:
In extreme cold weather cats require larger food portions and fresh water twice a day to prevent dehydration. Wet food in insulated containers is ideal for wintertime feeding, as it takes less energy for cats to digest than dry food-and cats can use that extra energy to keep warm. You can apply foam insulation to the hollow underside of a regular plastic feeding dish.

This can delay the freezing of food and water. Preventing liquids from freezing can be a challenge during the winter. Avoid dehydration by keeping water drinkable:
- Use bowls that are deep rather than wide, and place them in a sunny spot.
- Refill the bowls with hot or warm water.
- And a pinch of sugar to the water; this keeps it from freezing as quickly and provides an energy boost for the cats!
- Purchase heated electric bowls found in many pet shops.

Keep the cats on a regular feeding schedule. The cats will come to expect the food and water, which will spend less time in the cold before being consumed.

Clear Pathways:
Cats will find shelter, whether you have provided a man-made winter shelter or the cats will find their own protection from the elements. With heavy snowfall it is important to clear snow away from entrances/exits of shelters. The cats can get “snowed in.” Regularly shoveling pathways makes it easier to stay ahead of accumulation. Shelter entrances should be blocked from wind.

Salt and Melting Products:
Alley Cat Allies does not recommend using salts or chemicals designed to melt snow near colonies. These products can be toxic and injure cats’ paws. There are specific “pet safe” sidewalk melting salts available made of magnesium chloride, including Road Runner Pet Friendly Ice Melt and Mag, but it is still possible for cats to drink water out of melting puddles containing chemicals. We advise caregivers to be cautious if using these products.
Before You Drive:
Check under the car before starting it, as cats will sometimes crawl into the engine or hide underneath for warmth. Give the hood of your car a tap, to scare out any cats that may be underneath that you didn’t see. Remember that antifreeze is lethal to cats and other animals. Keep it out of reach!

Parrot owners spend 3-4 times more to get a stainless steel bird cage in hopes it will be the last cage they ever have to buy. In the long run, this move makes perfect sense for a lot of reasons besides just the financial savings.

Battle Ground, WA (PRWEB) — Avian Emporium, a popular online bird cage supply store, is seeing a huge increase in stainless steel bird cage sales despite the current economy situation. When asked why they think this increase in high dollar cages, they said, “Parrots are part of the family and parrot owners who are in the market to get a new cage for their bird(s) are digging a little deeper to get a cage that will hopefully be the last one they ever have to buy.”

Stainless steel bird cages, while quite expensive, will out last powder-coated wrought iron bird cages hands down. It’s said that powder coated cages generally last about 6 years (10 years if it’s well taken care of and the birds are gentle with it.) But stainless steel cages will last 20-30 years or longer, depending on how well it’s taken care of.

Avian Emporium employees also mentioned that the increase in stainless steel cage sales could also be because more affluent bird owners or those with stable jobs are picking up rescue birds almost daily. Some bird owners lose their jobs and cannot afford to care for their birds, so they end up in bird rescues and/or get adopted by new owners who typically want a new cage for the new member of the family. Especially since the bird cage that may have possibly come with the bird is typically old, beat up, worn out, poor quality, pealing paint, and probably doesn’t match the new owner’s home’s décor.

A stainless steel bird cage is not only more durable than its wrought iron counterpart, but when cleaning is involved, it usually only takes mild effort to remove some of the most hard to clean grime that birds seem to produce. Powder coated cages can lose paint chips and expose the wrought iron bars to the harsh acidic excrement that birds leave behind. This attributes to the breakdown of the cage bars and an overall degradation of the cage itself. Stainless steel cages on the other hand, provide a more natural barrier against cage decay and therefore are a better, longer lasting cage.

Quality stainless steel bird cages are made with Grade 304 Stainless Steel. Avian Adventures and A&E Cage Co. are the two popular brands which are considered to have finest stainless steel cages available for pet products. Grade 304 Stainless Steel is hypoallergenic and therefore is safe to have around your children, other pets and, obviously, your bird.

Stainless Steel cages add an air of elegance and beauty to every home. Stainless Steel is so popular currently that all major home and kitchen appliances are being made with this same stainless steel that these bird cages are produced in. Stainless steel offers a warm beauty to your home while allowing you the ease of clean and care. Gone are the days of working hour after hour to clean your cage and make it presentable to your bird.

Product Manager Quotes
“On most workbenches the welder is limited to clamping around the outside edges of the table top. If you do need to clamp in the middle of the table you either had to tack weld the parts to the tabletop or unclamp and reposition everything. With ArcStation’s X-Pattern table top and exclusive clamps, you simply slide the custom X-clamp into the nearest slot and clamp your parts where you need to – no tacking parts to the table or moving and re-clamping everything.”
—Jon Ertmer, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co.

“We have priced ArcStation so that it is affordable for everyone. If you take a look at the materials, tools and time it would take you to build a customized welding station, you will see that ArcStation is a great value, and it is built to Miller’s high quality standards.”
—Jon Ertmer, product manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co.
