Pros and Cons of Owning A Dog During College
Getting a dog during college can be an exciting thought for many students who are leaving home and are experiencing their first taste of true freedom; However, many young adults fail to consider the responsibilities and obligations that come with owning a dog while in school.
Apart from the necessity as companions for students with disabilities; consider the following:
Pros:
They can lead to decreased stress.
Dogs have the incredible ability to make you feel more relaxed and less stressed. A study actually found that when people took care of dogs for just three months, they showed significant drops in blood pressure and reactivity to stress. There’s no better feeling than coming home after a long day to your furry best friend who’s thrilled to see you.
They help motivate you to exercise.
Daily exercise is an essential part of a dog’s well-being and absolutely cannot be neglected. However, this requirement becomes mutually beneficial because it also ensures that you’re getting outside daily, intaking sunlight, and getting your own exercise. Even if you’re having a rough day and don’t feel like doing much, your dog will make sure that you go outside and get moving.
They make great companions if you live alone.
Dogs can be fantastic companions for students who choose to live alone. Living by yourself can be lonely. Your pet can serve as a companion to keep you occupied, as well as a solid guard dog when needed (or you can at least let them think they are).
Cons:
They require a time and patience.
If you’re thinking about getting a dog in college, be prepared to commit tons of time and attention to them. Training sessions will be vitally important in ensuring that your dog is potty-trained, can behave on a leash, and can be trusted around other dogs. You’ll also have to make time for vet appointments, play time, and letting them out on a consistent basis.
They can be expensive.
Dogs can be extremely expensive. Between vet bills, food, toys, and general dog supplies, the costs can quickly add up. Assessing your financial situation beforehand and determining whether or not now is the right time for you to get a dog, is absolutely essential.
They can cut into your social life; although can expand your social life with a starting point for common conversation with other dog lovers.
Like it or not, having a dog will cut into your social time with your friends. Staying out until 4 am on the weekends or being away from your house for 12 hours at a time is no longer feasible when your pet is waiting for you at home. Plan to make arrangements to fit your dog’s needs, which may mean missing out on social activities from time to time.

Coconut Cold Brew
2023 Financial Report & Audit | $1.092BÂ
The United States Food and Drug Administration and the National Coffee Association recommended standard temperature for safe hot coffee is around 160°F to 165°F (71°C to 74°C). This temperature range is considered hot enough to be enjoyable while minimizing the risk of scalding or burning.
These agencies do not have specific regulations or guidelines solely dedicated to cold brew coffee. However, there are general principles and best practices for handling and storing perishable food products that can be applied to cold brew coffee to ensure safety.*

Cold brew coffee typically requires more time to prepare than traditional hot brew coffee. While hot brew coffee can be made in just a few minutes, cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time, usually between 12 to 24 hours. The longer steeping time allows the coffee to extract more slowly and results in a smoother, less acidic coffee concentrate. After steeping, the coffee grounds are usually filtered out and the resulting concentrate can be diluted with water, milk, or other liquids and served over ice. While cold brew coffee does require more time to prepare, many coffee drinkers prefer its smoother, less bitter taste and lower acidity compared to hot brewed coffee. Additionally, the longer shelf life of cold brew coffee concentrate makes it a popular choice for those who like to prepare coffee in advance and have it ready to drink throughout the day. |

* These recommendations are based on general food safety practices:
Water quality: Start with clean, potable water to brew your cold brew coffee. Make sure the water source is safe and free from contaminants.
Brewing process: Follow good manufacturing practices and ensure that your brewing equipment and utensils are clean and sanitized. Cold brew coffee is typically brewed using room temperature or cold water over an extended period. Ensure that the brewing container is properly sealed and protected from any potential sources of contamination.
Filtration: After the brewing process, filter the cold brew coffee to remove any sediment or particles. This can be done using a fine-mesh sieve or a dedicated filtration system.
Storage: Store the cold brew coffee in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and maintain the quality of the coffee. Cold brew coffee can typically be stored for a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the specific recipe and preparation method.
Temperature control: Keep the cold brew coffee refrigerated at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Serve safely: When serving cold brew coffee, use clean and sanitized utensils, containers, and dispensing equipment to avoid cross-contamination. If you add any additional ingredients like milk or sweeteners, ensure that they are stored properly and do not exceed their recommended storage times.

The Great Seattle Fire (1889) – University of Washington:
The University of Washington’s original campus was affected by the Great Seattle Fire in 1889. While not exclusively a college campus fire, it had a significant impact on the university.
University of Michigan Economics Building (1980):
Built in 1856. First chemical laboratory at a state university. Building served medical students and others as both laboratory and classroom. Situated just west and south of the original medical building. Additions made to the one-story building in 1861, 1866, 1868, 1874. In 1880 a two-story addition was added. In 1890, a three-story wing was added to the west of the original structure and was designed by E. W. Arnold of Detroit. A final addition was constructed in 1901. With the completion of the West Medical Building (later renamed the Dana Building) in 1903 and the Chemistry Building in 1909, the laboratories were transferred from the original Chemical Laboratory. In 1908, it became the Economics Building with Pharmacology occupying the north wing. Destroyed by an arson fire Christmas Eve 1981.
Seton Hall University Dormitory Fire (2000) – New Jersey:
A fire in a dormitory at Seton Hall University in 2000 resulted in three fatalities and numerous injuries. The incident led to increased awareness of fire safety in college campuses.
Harvard University Laboratory Fire (2006) – Massachusetts:
A chemical explosion and fire occurred at a Harvard University laboratory in 2006, resulting in injuries to several people. This incident highlighted the importance of safety measures in research facilities.
University of Missouri-Columbia Residence Hall Fire (2011) – Missouri:
A fire broke out in a residence hall at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 2011, leading to the evacuation of students. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
University of Delaware Chemistry Lab Fire (2013) – Delaware:
A laboratory fire occurred at the University of Delaware in 2013, prompting the evacuation of a chemistry building. No injuries were reported, but it emphasized the need for safety protocols in academic laboratories.
Paper Cleaner
Centrifugal paper cleaners are used in the pulp and paper industry to remove unwanted contaminants from pulp or paper stock. These contaminants can include dirt, sand, shives, small fibers, and other impurities that can affect the quality of the final paper product. Centrifugal cleaners work on the principle of centrifugal force and are typically installed in the stock preparation stage of papermaking processes.  Here’s how they work:
Inlet: The pulp or paper stock containing contaminants is fed into the centrifugal cleaner through an inlet. The inlet is designed to create a tangential flow of the stock, which imparts a swirling motion to the mixture.
Centrifugal Force: Once inside the cleaner, the stock and contaminants are subjected to centrifugal force due to the rapid rotation of the cleaner’s inner drum or rotor. The centrifugal force causes the heavier contaminants to move toward the outer wall of the cleaner, while the cleaner stock moves toward the center of the drum.
Separation: The contaminants, being heavier, are forced against the outer wall of the cleaner by the centrifugal force, and they accumulate there. The clean stock, which is lighter and free of contaminants, moves toward the center of the cleaner.
Outlet: The cleaned stock exits the cleaner through the center outlet, while the accumulated contaminants are removed from the outer wall. The contaminants can be periodically purged from the cleaner to maintain its efficiency.
Adjustment: Centrifugal cleaners often have adjustable settings to control the separation efficiency. Operators can vary the cleaner’s operating parameters, such as the feed rate, drum speed, and cone angle, to optimize the separation process for different types of contaminants and pulp or paper stocks.
They can operate continuously and provide high efficiency in removing heavy contaminants such as coffee filters. They are often used in conjunction with other cleaning processes, such as screening and flotation, to achieve the desired quality and cleanliness of the pulp or paper stock before it is used in the papermaking process.
