Celebrating St. Patricks Day by CDMohatta

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland is believed to have brought Christianity to Ireland in the forth century. He is believed to have removed many practices followed by pagan religions during that time. He is famous for having driven away all the snakes from Ireland, which refers to the practice of snake worshipping.



He is thought to have died on 17th March. Some stories about him are products of fertile imaginations over the centuries. What is important is that he has given the Irish Catholics an identity. Irish people celebrate 17th march as St. Patrick's Day. On this day most of the cities where Irish have a big population celebrate the day with parades. Today this day is the day to celebrate the Irish spirit. Color green, shamrocks, and luck. Enjoy the spirit of St. Patrick's Day with screensavers from www.screene.com. Watch the falling shamrock, the gold coins and goes in the mood of celebration. The two screensavers Paddy's Cheers and Green world. are especially cute. You can also send these ecards to share the cheer of the day.

Shamrock And Irish People -

Shamrock, the three- leafed clover has special significance for the Irish. Earlier this was also called the seamroy. Though some people believe that Shamrock was used by St. Patrick to explain the Christian doctrine, there are no proofs of that. Shamrock is sure the symbol of Irish. Along with other Irish symbols or other things that are associated with Ireland such as green, gold and Luck, shamrock reminds everyone around the world of Ireland immediately.

Traditional Food -

Corned Beef and cabbage meal is the traditional Irish food for the St. Patrick's Day. Though the traditional food has been Irish bacon, corned beef saves money and is becoming popular amongst the Irish Americans. On St. Patrick's Day, Chicago River is turned green for several hours by using green vegetable dye. What a great way to celebrate the day. Wishing you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day.

How Koozies Work

How Koozies Work by John Hanksworth



Koozies (also known as can coolers) are great to have on a picnic, or when you're just sitting outside on a hot day. They keep your drinks colder for much longer. Koozies are a great invention, but have you ever stopped and thought about how they work? The simplicity of their design and its effectiveness is ingenious because it makes use of simple thermodynamic principals.

We all know that when you put very cold water in a room, and let it sit, it will gradually come to room temperature. The same effect is found when you place something very hot in a room (it will gradually cool off to room temperature). The reasons behind this lead us to understand how koozies work. It all has to do with the movement of atoms.

When something is hot, it is because the atoms are moving very fast inside of it. If something is very cold, the atoms are moving very slowly. In fact, when the temperature is at absolute zero, then there is no motion of atoms at all. When things are heated up, energy is being transferred from the source, to the object. This process is called conduction. This can be shown if you were to heat up a frying pan. Notice that at first the frying pan is at room temperature. Once the heat is turned on, it takes a bit, but the frying pan begins to cook your food. The entire frying pan will eventually become extremely hot. This is because of all the atoms moving very rapidly, and are becoming energized by smashing into one another. Once the heat is turned off, the frying pan is still very hot and takes a while to cool down.

So, how to koozies work then? The answer is very simple; they slow down the natural conduction by being a barrier between atoms. Foam works as a great barrier. Therefore, koozies are made of foam (or foam like substances) and encase the most of the outer surface area of a glass or can of cold liquid. This insulation works by utilizing two principals. First, the foam has plastic in it. This plastic is not a very good heat conductor. This means that the atoms don't accept energy from faster moving atoms as easily. The second principal is that the foam has room for air. This air that is trapped in the foam is an even worse heat conductor than the plastic. Combining these two effects, a koozie is an awful heat conductor, which means that whatever is inside it can hold its low temperature for a longer time.
