The Evolution of Foot Growth

During growth, the foot goes through a series of stages of development; we need to know to distinguish at all times what is normal and what is pathological.

1 YEAR. The foot is a key member of cartilage vulnerable to any external aggression. So when the child begins to take his first steps, it is very important to avoid being overweight, and help right foot growth with a shoe, that controls the position of the heel (buttress strong), and not pressing the toes over (flexible soles).

1 TO 3 YEARS. The child is in a period of searching for the vertical where almost anything is possible. Concerning the form of support, do not be too quick to take it as pathological. It is no more than a transition to "normal." Some children fall frequently, others support the foot inward, and others do it with his foot out, and so on. Moreover, in this age there is a physiological transition of Genu Varus ("legs in parenthesis") to the genu valgum ("knock-knees") and vice versa, until the muscles of the legs are stronger.

This also has repercussions on the way to support your feet. Likewise, there is an increase in plantar fat level of the vault or arc, which can give a false appearance of flat feet. For all this, it is very difficult at this age to properly speak of flat feet or knock-knees, which are usually false problems, often aggravated by maternal anxiety, which is why it is always advisable to see an orthopedic doctor or with your family doctor.

4 YEARS and Above. There are some physiological changes in the rotation of the lower limbs, due to the gradual reduction of the femoral joint anteversion and external rotation that is being produced in the tibia, which also influences the way feet are flat on the floor. The angle of variation decreases, and this makes them go and correct the tendency to adduct the forefoot and valgus flat foot, characteristic of the feet in the first years of life (between 1 and 5th years).

Farm Surveys Classes

The farm surveys, deals with the measurement of your farm facility and gives a description of the boundaries of the estate.

The farm surveys are performed for various purposes, such as locating field boundaries described above, to obtain data for a description in writing, calculating areas and gather information required for wills, mortgages, leases, tax calculations and expropriations. In general, farm surveys are classified into two which are the: original and staking or relocations.

ORIGINAL SURVEY: The original survey was carried out to define the size, shape and relative location of an area whose boundaries generally evidenced by the occupation and use, and defined by features such as rivers, fences, walls and trees, have usually been accepted by adjacent property owners or neighbors. You need to mark or monument the corners of the property and determine the distances and bearings of the boundaries, before developing the description. Original surveys are also performed in order to create new plots (smaller) from an area that is larger. These jobs are often called parceling surveys are carried out to subdivide an area of land under a plan.

Stakeout or Relocate: The relocations are carried out to locate boundaries of properties already described in existing documents. Such relocations are essential before the transfer of ownership from one person to another. Are most needed in the case of urban uprisings to determine if the streets are full and if the boundaries between buildings or structures do not invade neighboring lots property.

The execution of relocation of good quality can be difficult and laborious. Often no single solution April 1. Two equally competent and qualified surveyors may have genuine differences in evaluating the same evidence regarding the location of the boundary, and this will lead to different conclusions. The final opinion is issued by the courts.

Building a Retaining Wall

Retaining Wall Construction

A Retaining Wall is one that is built to prevent the earth pressure, so greater efforts are horizontal.

The horizontal forces tend to slide and tip, the pressure of the land depends on the size and weight of the land mass, on the other hand, these dimensions and weight depend on the nature of the terrain and water content.

To achieve the stability of a retaining wall, must oppose a set of forces that counteract the horizontal thrust and vertical stresses transmitted by columns or bearing walls , including loads of slabs that rest on them.

Should be avoided:

The fall of the wall effect of its spin on an edge.

The sliding parallel to his seat on the floor.

The Wall counteract the thrust of the ground:

Their own weight.

The weight of the earth on an element of the wall (heel or toe).

Phases Construction Retaining Wall Reinforced Concrete

Stakeout

Excavation and Earthworks

Implementation of Concrete Cleaning

Attaching the shoe armor.

Concreting of the footing.

Run the formwork on the inside of the wall (soffit).

Placement of the reinforcement of the retaining wall.

Forming the outer face (extrados)

Placing and vibrating the concrete.

Stripping.

It is important to consider the appropriate disposition of the armor, according to the design of the shoe in relation to the thrust of the land.

To improve stability, rather than building a massive wall and thick, uniform section, runs the wall with a trapezoidal section. When the building permit conditions, agrees that the outer wall forms an inclined plane (slope), thus increasing the width of the base to ensure overall stability and lower center of gravity.

Drainage System

An important point to consider is the water content of the ground, because the angle of internal friction of the land decreases with increasing water content and thrust.

The existence of water in the soil can cause softening of the mass of house modifying the structure and increasing thrust.

To control and eliminate potential hazards by water accumulation on the back of the wall, installing a drainage system.

How To Remove And Prevent Mold

Rust attacks any house without warning, especially in times when there is moisture in the air, damaging walls and furniture with ease. So you have to be alert to the symptoms of the house we may be warning of the onset of mold. One of the first signs of the presence of mold in the home the odor or watermarks on walls and ceilings.

While mold is easily removed, and although it may never again see mold on the walls of your room, it will reappear if you do not fight moisture that produced it. That is why if you are not the cause that produces mold and reverses it, soon after you have cleaned the wall, again stains and odors. So you know how to eliminate and prevent mold in your home, I recommend you follow the tips below to leave.

The most common places to find mold inside the house, are the basement, kitchen, bathroom, walls or pipes near the ceiling, so these are the areas of the house you have to be more present when controlling mold.

Therefore the first step of getting rid of mold and mildew stains with bleach and water treatment. It would be better to avoid it before it is generated? For this I recommend you follow this series of precautions, which are very easy to follow and remember:

- If you have air conditioning or appliances to remove the moisture, be sure to maintain the level of humidity environment between 30% and 60%.

- It is also very useful to install fans out in the bathrooms and kitchen, that way the moisture from the steam or meals is not in the environment.

- It is good to have carpets in damp areas like a basement or bathroom, because they do more than take long-term moisture and be a focus to lead to mold.

- Take care that no water accumulated beneath the plants inside the house, that's something that always happens when watering my plants.

- Occasionally clean the bathrooms with bleach and other products that eliminate mold.

- If you're thinking about painting the house, when you do not forget to add products to combat mold.

- Also you should inspect the hoses, pipes and water connections, both in the home, such as appliances. Often the washing machine leaking water can encourage mold.

- Finally sporadically also check the gutters and roof, so that no water leaks that produce moisture.

In short, getting rid of mold, if it's in your house, you clean it with bleach and water. It is very easy to do, but even better is to avoid cleaning job keeping the house in good condition, ie without sources of moisture leading to the appearance of mold.
