Grandeur

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

 

 

Grandeur

 

 

Brothers and Sister too many of you are Looking For Grandeur Moments, that if Jesus does not Answer you with The Greatness that He Is, then you do not Receive that which is presented. Some of you Think that unless you make a Great Splash then you will not be Heard or Seen, for in fact you put yourselves upon a Pedestal so that others may See and Hear how Great You Are!

 

James 2:1-4 KJV

"1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?"

 

There are many of you that You Proclaim that Judgment is wrong, that there is only One Judge and that is Jesus, how blind and foolish you have become!! For you make Judgments on things you should not and on the thing that you should make Judgments you are not…have you become Scribes and Pharisees?

 

There are many among you that Demand, Expect, Jesus to answer you with Grandeur, but He will not!!! Jesus said that His Sheep Know His Voice and Follow there after…

 

John 10:3-5 KJV

"3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers."

 

So then, to the one that does not Speak in Grandeur, that is Not a Big, Loud Presentation, do you not hear. I know that there are many who are Speaking The Word, even that which is pertaining to the time that it is needed, but because they are Not Know, have Not Made a Grandeur Entrance, you have ignored them and even have cast the very Word sent by Jesus to the ground to be trampled upon from those who Think of themselves better than they should.

 

More times than not, it is the Small, Quite Voice, that Jesus Speaks, for He has to Prove nothing to anyone!!!

 

1 Kings 19:11-12 KJV

"11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD [was] not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

 

Jesus is Speaking, but do YOU Know His Voice? Many of you Put a Man in a place of Recognition that you may comfort yourselves. For you say that You Seek, Knock and Ask but do not Listen to whom I send you, for you Look upon their Stature, their Grandeur, then you say, it must be of The Lord, when it is not! I have seen more Wisdom from a child who Seeks Jesus then from the old man who is a pillar among you!!

In this Season, we need to Fine Tune our Hearing, we need to Fine Tune the Doctrine that we follow, we need to Fine Tune those whom WE have set as Leadership, but Jesus did not, for the time is here when all Mannerisms of Doctrine is being spoken, being taught, both within The Church and without. There are so many Voices that are in The World all saying “We are the Right Way, come follow us…”. For you weigh things such as does a church have Good Music, things such as does a church have Good Children’s Church, things such as does a church have Values that Line Up with mine, things such as does a church have Leadership that is in Uniform With My Ideas and the list goes on. But the Small Voice is not found in the midst of these places.

 

2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV

“For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."

 

We need to Seek Jesus not in being Grandeur, but in being of a Truth lining up with Scriptures Un-manipulated for gain. Some of you at your church follow thereafter because they have a Great Outreach, to whom are they Reaching? There are many of you who Believe that all we have to do is getting someone to Accept Romans 10:9-10 and they are Saved, but if you do not Understand what the Scripture is saying, then you will fall.

 

When Seeking Jesus do not Look for those things that “Fit” Your Desires, but Seek Jesus in telling you The Truth no matter what!!! Jesus is not going to make some Grandeur to make you Like Him, to make you Follow Him, but it will be in the Small Voice does He Lead His Sheep!

 

Too many of you look at a church not in What Jesus is doing, but in Grand Gesture of what Jesus is Not Doing! You have set yourselves up to only Look for those things that are pleasing to the senses, but not those things that The Holy Spirit is doing.

 

Matthew 7:21-23 KJV

"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

 

So, let us bring this set of Scriptures to today’s terms, Lord did we not have a Great Music Department singing Your Praises, Lord did we not have a Great Outreach to WE have lead many to accept you, Lord did we not have a Great Pastor who preached exactly what I wanted to hear, Lord did we not have a Great Children’s Ministry that the children enjoyed, Lord did we not have a Great Leadership that Proclaimed You As Lord, Lord did we not have a Great…, the list goes on. What Jesus wants is a Relationship Of Obedience To His Word and to The Holy Spirit. Some will say does not all these Programs we have, are they Not Jesus Based? You can SAY the Name of Jesus all that you want, but it does not mean that Jesus wanted it.  Jesus said…

 

John 14:15 KJV

“If ye love me, keep my commandments."

 

Jesus did Not say Your Commandments Do I Love! Jesus is not looking for how Grandeur we are, but is looking at the Foundation The Your Are Building Upon. The little old lady that prays every day seeking not her own will, but that Jesus would be manifested in someone’s life has more power and authority then all of the churches combined…WHY? Her prayer is of a Pure Heart Seeking Jesus Will, NOT her own fleshly satisfaction.

 

I seen the poor preach The Word, but were rejected because they did not fit my mold or the mold of those whom I follow, but what they Preached, was The Truth!!! Jesus is wanting us to Listen for His Small Voice, then be Obedient in Following what He says.

 Jesus does not want from you any Grandeur, but wants a Humble Servant to say, Here Am I, Send Me. Jesus is not going to make Grandeur to follow Him, He does not Want or Desire Grandeur from you when following Him.

 

Take a moment, look and listen to what is going on around you, is Jesus really in the midst or do you find yourself caught up in chaos of men’s pleasures to say “Look At Me…”. It is the Small Still Voice that we are to follow, not the Loud chaotic lives that we have produced. We, are no better than anyone else is, we all have had to come to Jesus and it was not in who we are or who we know, but in the peaceful loving voice of Jesus that has led us.

 

 

Amen and Amen!!!

Why Crochet Dresses are Perfect for Summer

Breathability and Comfort: One of the primary reasons crochet dresses are ideal for summer is their breathability. The open weave design allows air to circulate, keeping you cool even on the hottest days. Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can trap heat and cause discomfort, the natural fibers used in crochet dresses, such as cotton and linen, wick away moisture and provide a cooling effect.

 

Versatility in Style: Crochet dresses come in a wide range of styles, from mini dresses perfect for beach outings to maxi dresses suitable for evening gatherings. Whether you prefer a boho-chic look with fringe details or a more sophisticated style with intricate lace patterns, there's a crochet dress to match every aesthetic. The versatility of crochet dresses makes them suitable for various occasions, from casual beach days to formal summer events.

 

Sustainability: In an era where sustainability is increasingly important, crochet dresses stand out as an eco friendly fashion choice. Many crochet pieces are handmade, which reduces the environmental impact associated with mass production. Additionally, the use of natural fibers and the durability of crochet items mean they can last for years, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

 

Unique Patterns and Textures: The beauty of crochet lies in its intricate patterns and textures. Each crochet dress is a work of art, showcasing unique designs that add depth and interest to any outfit. From floral motifs to geometric shapes, the variety of patterns available in crochet dresses ensures that you can find a piece that reflects your personal style.

 

 

How to Style Your Crochet Dress

Beach Ready: For a day at the beach, opt for a lightweight crochet cover-up dress. Pair it with your favorite bikini, a wide brimmed hat, and some strappy sandals. The open-weave design of the crochet dress will not only keep you cool but also add a touch of elegance to your beach look. Dont forget your oversized sunglasses and a tote bag to complete the ensemble.

 

Casual Day Out: For a casual day out, choose a mid-length crochet dress in a bright, summery color. Pair it with flat sandals or espadrilles and accessorize with a crossbody bag and some delicate jewelry. This look is perfect for a stroll through the farmers' market or a picnic in the park. The crochet dress will keep you comfortable while ensuring you look effortlessly stylish.

 

Evening Glamour: Crochet dresses can also be dressed up for evening events. Opt for a maxi crochet dress in a neutral or darker shade. Pair it with heeled sandals, statement earrings, and a clutch bag. A crochet dress with a more intricate pattern or metallic threads can add a touch of glamour suitable for a summer evening party or a romantic dinner date.

 

Festival Vibes: For music festivals or outdoor concerts, a crochet dress is the perfect choice to achieve that bohemian vibe. Choose a dress with fringe details or a bold pattern. Pair it with ankle boots, layered necklaces, and a floppy hat. This look is not only trendy but also comfortable, allowing you to enjoy the festivities in style.

 

 

Caring for Your Crochet Dress

To ensure your crochet dress remains in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Here are some tips:

 

Hand Wash: Due to the delicate nature of crochet, it's best to hand wash your dress in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, as this can distort the shape.

 

Dry Flat: Lay your crochet dress flat to dry, reshaping it gently to its original form. Hanging it can cause stretching and misshaping.

 

Storage: Store your crochet dress flat or rolled up to prevent creases. If hanging, use a padded hanger to avoid stretching the shoulders.

 

Avoid Direct Sunlight: When drying or storing, keep your crochet dress out of direct sunlight to prevent fading of colors.

 

The crochet dress has rightfully earned its place as the rising star of summer fashion. Its blend of comfort, style, and sustainability makes it a standout choice for any summer wardrobe. Whether you're lounging on the beach, exploring the city, or dancing the night away at a festival, the crochet dress offers endless possibilities for creating chic, effortless looks. Embrace this timeless trend and let the crochet dress be your go-to piece for all your summer adventures.

What Is Tooling For Injection Molding?

Injection molding is a manufacturing process that utilizes a metal mold, often referred to as tooling, to shape molten plastic resins. The mold, which can also be called tooling, undergoes machining to create a core and cavity in the negative shape of the part.

 
These molds are typically made from metal (such as steel or aluminum) and are custom-designed to create the specific shape and features of the desired plastic part. Tooling is crucial in injection molding as it defines the quality, precision, and efficiency of the manufacturing process.
 
During production, the injection molding machine holds the mold closed while molten plastic is injected into it at high pressure. Once the plastic has cooled and solidified, the mold opens, and the part is ejected. This cycle repeats until the desired quantity of parts is produced. Injection molding is highly cost effective for manufacturing complex plastic parts in large volumes.
 
Producing high quality parts requires high quality tooling. Younger Mould employs premium components and materials for all injection molding tooling, ensuring that every injection molding project meets rigorous quality standards and customer requirements.
 

Key Aspects Of Tooling For Injection Molding

Mold Design: Tooling involves designing molds that include a cavity (or multiple cavities) into which molten plastic is injected. The mold also incorporates features like gates, runners, ejector pins, and cooling channels.
 
Material Selection: Molds are usually made from metals like steel or aluminum. The choice of material depends on factors such as production volume, part complexity, required precision, and cost considerations.
 
Manufacturing Process: Tooling involves machining the mold from a solid block of metal using techniques such as CNC machining, EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), or traditional milling. The mold must be precise to ensure accurate reproduction of parts.
 
Functionality: The mold must withstand high pressures and temperatures during the injection molding process without deforming or failing. It is designed to be durable and capable of producing a large number of parts with consistent quality.
 
Cost Considerations: Tooling costs can be significant, especially for complex molds or high volume production. However, high-quality tooling can reduce per-part costs over time by enabling efficient and reliable manufacturing.
 
Overall, tooling for injection molding plays a critical role in determining the feasibility, quality, and cost effectiveness of producing plastic parts through injection molding. It requires expertise in mold design, material selection, and manufacturing processes to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the molds.

 

What Materials Are Used To Make Injection Molding Tooling?

Injection mold tooling typically utilizes materials such as steel, aluminum, or alloys. Most molds are composed of two halves, though some may be more intricate with multiple sides or internal components. Internal mold components can include slides, guides, lifters, pins, bushings, ejectors, and alignment devices. Selecting the appropriate mold material and components is crucial to ensuring dimensional accuracy and the durability of the mold tooling when used with compatible injection materials.
 
Younger Mould's team of experts brings decades of experience in constructing injection molding tooling, ensuring high quality and precise manufacturing solutions, such as pvc injection molding solution.
 

Injection Mold Tooling

Mold tooling encompasses the sourcing and acquisition of all components and machinery necessary for the job, including jigs, gauges, fixtures, and other essential equipment. These instruments play a crucial role in ensuring the success of the part production process. Utilizing the right injection mold tooling can significantly enhance the efficiency of molds and improve the overall quality of injection molded parts. The tooling process itself largely dictates the project's cost and the quality of the final parts.
 
Investing in high quality injection molding tooling is essential, albeit expensive. However, it ensures durable molds capable of producing high quality parts consistently over an extended lifespan. Long lasting mold tooling helps reduce overall project costs and lowers the price per part as more units are produced using the same tooling.
 
Injection molding tooling offers high levels of customization. At Younger Mould, we specialize in producing injection molded parts tailored to exact specifications. Collaborating closely with our designers and leveraging our advanced production facility, we can create custom plastic mold tooling that meets the unique requirements of any project.
 
Steel and aluminum are the most common metals used for injection molding tooling. Steel molds can produce hundreds of thousands to millions of plastic parts, making them highly cost effective over their lifespan. They are easier to maintain, resistant to rust, provide excellent surface finishes, and can be modified using techniques like electrical discharge machining (EDM). EDM allows for the creation of complex geometries and tight tolerances that conventional machining methods cannot achieve.
 
In contrast, aluminum mold tooling is typically suitable for lower volume production, producing thousands of parts before needing replacement. While aluminum molds have lower upfront costs, they are less durable, more challenging to repair or modify, and require frequent replacement.
 
When considering mold tooling options, the high initial costs of steel molds should be weighed against their long term advantages, including lower per part costs and extended operational lifespan.
 

Considerations When Designing A Tool

Designing and selecting proper tooling for injection molding requires careful consideration of complexity, expected lifespan, application requirements, and potential production volume. The decision-making process for investing in tooling is pivotal in the overall tooling process. For projects slated for high-volume contract manufacturing, it is often most cost effective to invest upfront in durable and precise production tooling designed for long term use. Conversely, for projects with lower initial production volumes, opting for prototype tooling may be more advantageous until production scales significantly.
 
Toolmakers play a crucial role in the tooling design process by leveraging their expertise in fabrication techniques and tool design. They collaborate closely with design engineers to conduct mold flow analyses, optimizing tooling designs and determining optimal placements for parting lines, gates, and ejection locations. This collaborative effort ensures that the tooling meets the specific requirements of the application, balancing factors like performance, cost effectiveness, and manufacturability.
 
Quality prototype design engineers work hand in hand with toolmakers to oversee the fabrication of optimal tooling solutions tailored to each project's needs. This collaborative approach helps to ensure the successful realization of injection-molded parts that meet quality standards and production goals.
 
Younger Mould is one of the most popular plastic mould manufacturers in China, who has earned a good reputation and position in the industry, gaining the trust and praise of numerous customers. If you are interested in our products, please leave your contact information, and we will provide you with favorable quotations and meticulous injection mold services.

Introduction to DHB and DHA

1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and L-Erythrulose (DHB) are two compounds currently gaining traction in the beauty industry, and are widely adopted for their excellent performance in skin care and hair care products.
 
DHA is a synthetic, colorless compound dha tanning ingredient primarily used in natural tanning products. It reacts with amino acids in the stratum corneum to form a tan product, thus simulating the effects of a tan without the need for exposure to UV rays. This makes DHA an indispensable ingredient in tanning products because it is safe and effective, especially today when awareness of sun protection is increasing.
 
L-Erythrulose (DHB) is also a natural fermentation product, similar to DHA, used to increase skin pigmentation. It is often combined with DHA to balance and prolong tanning effects. DHB has a slower rate of pigmentation than DHA, which allows the mixture to provide a more even and long-lasting tan.
 
In the cosmetics industry, the application of DHA and DHB is becoming increasingly common as consumer demand for health and beauty continues to grow. These two ingredients are not limited to tanning products, but are also widely used in skin care and hair coloring products to enhance their pigmentation effects and durability. Their chemical stability and good compatibility with the skin make them ideal for developing a new generation of beauty products.
 
 

Mechanism of DHB and DHA

The mechanism of action of DHA is mainly through the Maillard reaction with amino acids (especially lysine) in the stratum corneum of the skin. The Maillard reaction is a non-enzymatic reaction involving the reaction between reducing sugars (such as DHA) and amino compounds, forming a tan product. Specifically, DHA reacts chemically with amino acids in the keratinocytes on the skin's surface to produce compounds called mediocyanins. These compounds temporarily change the skin's pigment, simulating the effects of a tan.
 
L-Erythrulose (DHB) works similarly to DHA, but it reacts more slowly, resulting in more even pigmentation. DHB undergoes a Maillard-like reaction with amino acids on the skin, forming a similar tan product that enhances or prolongs the effects of tanning. Due to its slower reaction rate, it is often combined with DHA for a more natural, even and long-lasting tan.
 
These chemical reactions are temporary on the skin's surface and usually subside as the skin's natural keratin renewal occurs. Therefore, DHA and DHB provide a safe and non-UV exposure method for improving the skin's pigment, especially at the end of summer or when the sun is not available, and still achieve a healthy tan.
 
 
 

Synergy Benefits of DHB and DHA

The application of 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and L-Erythrulose (DHB) in beauty products is more than just the additive effect of separate use. They also show obvious complementary effects in formulas, thereby enhancing the pigmentation of skin and hair. Depositing effect while extending the longevity of its color and tone.
 
DHA and DHB are often used in combination in tanning products. DHA quickly produces an initial tanning effect through a fast Maillard reaction, while DHB acts more slowly but produces more stable and long-lasting pigments. This combination not only provides a more even and natural tan, but also reduces the chance of patchiness or uneven pigmentation, making the tan longer lasting.
 
The combination of DHA and DHB also improves skin and hair tone. They can adjust the shade and tone of the tan based on different proportions of the formula to meet the needs of different consumers, whether they prefer a natural golden tan or a darker tan. This adjustability allows the product to have wider applicability in the market, catering to different skin types and tones.
 
DHA and DHB offer significant advantages over traditional tanning agents or pigment enhancers. Traditional tanning agents often rely on the action of ultraviolet rays, which carries risks of skin aging and skin cancer. DHA and DHB can achieve tanning effects without UV rays, greatly reducing health risks. In addition, they are compatible with skin care ingredients and moisturizers to enhance overall skin care results and help skin look healthier and younger.
 
As key ingredients in tanning products, DHA and DHB not only complement each other in pigmentation effects, but also provide a safe, effective and versatile solution by extending the longevity of color and tone. Their applications not only meet consumers' needs for beauty, but also continuously promote the development and innovation of beauty technology.
 

Scientific Research and Safety of DHB and DHA

 
Several studies have shown it to be safe when applied to the skin. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved DHA for use in topical cosmetics, deeming it safe at recommended concentrations. Research also shows that DHA does not penetrate the skin and reach the blood circulation, so it does not cause systemic toxic reactions. In addition, studies conducted on the long-term use and safety of DHA have found no significant adverse effects.

3 Reasons to Choose Ceramic Capacitors

ceramic capacitor uses ceramic material as its dielectric. Ceramics were among the first materials used for capacitor production due to their insulating properties. Various geometries have been employed in ceramic capacitors over the years, but some, like ceramic tubular capacitors and barrier layer capacitors, have become obsolete due to issues related to size, parasitic effects, or electrical characteristics.

 

 
The most commonly used ceramic capacitors in modern electronics are the multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) and the ceramic disc capacitor. MLCCs, in particular, are the most widely produced capacitors, with approximately 1000 billion units manufactured annually. They are made using SMD (surface-mounted) technology, which allows for a compact size.

 

 
Typically, ceramic capacitors have very small capacitance values, ranging from 1nF to 1µF, although they can go up to 100µF. They are also very small in size and have a low maximum rated voltage. Importantly, ceramic capacitors are not polarized, meaning they can be safely connected to an AC source. They also offer excellent frequency response due to minimal parasitic effects such as resistance or inductance.

 

 
The most commonly used ceramic capacitors in modern electronics are the multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) and the ceramic disc capacitor.

Ceramic capacitors are classified into two main categories: Class 1 and Class 2. Class 1 ceramic capacitors are chosen for applications requiring high stability and minimal losses. They exhibit high accuracy, maintaining stable capacitance values despite variations in applied voltage, temperature, and frequency. For instance, capacitors in the NP0 series boast a thermal stability with a variation of ±0.54% across a temperature range from -55 to +125 °C. Tolerances for the nominal capacitance value can be as low as 1%.

 

 
On the other hand, Class 2 capacitors offer higher capacitance per unit volume and are suitable for less critical applications. They typically have a thermal stability of ±15% within their operational temperature range, with nominal value tolerances around 20%.

 

 
Size Advantages
Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) provide significant advantages in high-density component packing, crucial for modern printed circuit boards (PCBs). For example, an "0402" MLCC package measures just 0.4 mm x 0.2 mm, containing 500 or more ceramic and metal layers. As of 2010, the minimum ceramic thickness in such packages is approximately 0.5 microns.

 

 
High Voltage and High Power
Ceramic capacitors designed for high voltage and high power applications are physically larger and known as power ceramic capacitors. These capacitors feature specialized terminals for safe connection to high voltage supplies.

MLCCs are manufactured using a precise process that involves mixing finely ground granules of paraelectric and ferroelectric materials. These materials are layered alternately with metal contacts. Once the layering is complete, the device undergoes high-temperature sintering, which transforms the mix into a ceramic material with desired properties. The resulting capacitor essentially comprises numerous smaller capacitors connected in parallel, thereby increasing the overall capacitance.

 

 
Modern MLCCs typically consist of 500 layers or more, with the minimum layer thickness approximately 0.5 microns. As technological advancements progress, the layer thickness continues to decrease, enabling higher capacitances within the same volume. This evolution in manufacturing allows MLCCs to offer improved performance characteristics and greater capacitance densities for various electronic applications.

 

 

Applications for Ceramic Capacitors

 

Considering that MLCCs are the most widely manufactured capacitors in the electronics industry, their applications span a wide range. One notable application is in high-precision, high-power circuits, such as resonant circuits in transmitter stations.

In this guide, we've compiled a step by step guide for replacing cupboard door handles in your own kitchen.
 
When selecting new kitchen cupboard handles, there are various styles to consider:
Pull Handles: These are typically straight bar handles with two fixing holes, allowing for installation horizontally or vertically.
Cup Handles: These handles are enclosed at one side to provide enhanced grip, making them suitable for cupboard drawers.
Cupboard Knobs: Available in a range of shapes, cupboard knobs feature a single fixing point and can be used on both drawers and cupboards.
 
If retrofitting cupboard door handles to an existing kitchen, you may choose the same style previously used to conceal any preexisting fixing holes. For pull handles and cup handles, it's essential to know the existing fixing centers to specify the most suitable handle correctly. For new kitchens, the style, fixing centers, and handle length are determined by the customer's preference.
 
cupboard door handles
 

1. Measure the distance between the current screw holes on the existing handles.

Since the 1980s, cupboard handle sizes have been standardized. Before then, finding new handles with the same measurement between the screw holes was nearly impossible. The distance between the screw holes is referred to as the CC-size, where CC stands for center to center, indicating the distance between the center of one screw hole to the center of the other. If your kitchen is from the 1980s or later, changing the handles on your cupboards or drawers will be straightforward. Start by measuring the distance between the screw holes. The easiest method is to open the cupboard/drawer and measure the distance between the centers of the screws on the backside in millimeters. The most common measurements are CC 64 mm, CC 96 mm, CC 128 mm, and CC 160 mm. If you measure and get a distance of 98 mm, it's most likely that you have CC 96. Small discrepancies in measurements, such as a few millimeters, are usually insignificant and nothing to worry about.
 

2. Remove a handle.

Before proceeding, it's important to check for any damages behind the old handles. Remove a handle and inspect the area behind it for indentations or scratches. If you notice any marks, be sure to choose a new handle that will cover the damage. If you don’t find any damage, consider yourself fortunate and feel free to choose any design you want for your new kitchen cabinet pulls.
 

3. Find a new handle with the same measurement between screw holes.

The easiest way to proceed is to select a new handle with the same CC-size. You can filter our product pages based on several attributes, including the measurement between screw holes. Simply navigate to the "Handles and pulls" category and click on "CC size." There, you will find all the CC-sizes we carry. Choose the one you measured in step 1.
 

4. Using filters and choosing a handle

Once you've selected your CC-size in step 3, you can now further refine your search by sorting and filtering based on other attributes such as color, material, and brand. The more filters you apply, the more specific the assortment of handles you'll see. Click on the handle that you believe meets your requirements to access more detailed information about it.
 

5. Find knobs matching the handles you picked

Many kitchens feature both handles and knobs on their cupboards, depending on whether they have doors or drawers. Once you've found the handles you like, it's easy to find other products that match. For example, if you selected a handle in polished brass, you'll find related products in the same material and style further down on the product page.
 

6. Order the hardware you want

Before ordering the hardware you desire, it's always wise to measure the thickness of the cupboard door. We typically include screws that fit doors measuring the standard, which is 16-19 mm in thickness. However, if your doors have different measurements, please inform us so we can include the correct screws.  

 

7. Replace handles

Begin by removing the old handles. Take the opportunity to thoroughly clean the area behind the old hardware; it's a rare chance to give that spot a proper cleaning. When replacing handles, ensure to use the correct screwdriver. All our screws feature combination heads, allowing you to use either a Phillips or straight screwdriver.

 

8. Done!

Enjoy your new handles.

The generated fluid pressure is then transmitted by hydraulic fluid to cylinders, actuators, and hydraulic motors, ensuring delivery at the requisite pressure level and volume.
 
Typically, hydraulic pumps operate at higher speeds and pressures compared to hydraulic motors. While reversible pumps are utilized in certain drive systems, most gate drives opt for unidirectional pumps coupled with directional control valves to reverse actuator operation.
 
Similar to hydraulic motors, hydraulic pumps are broadly categorized into three types: gear, piston, and vane. Within the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it is customary and advisable to incorporate redundant hydraulic pumps and electric drive motors. Each pump is identical and sized to accommodate the necessary loads for driving the hydraulic system. These pumps undergo cycling with each gate operation.
 
Presently, a predominant approach within USACE gate drives involves integrating hydraulic pumps and electric motors as part of an HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit) package.
 

Categories of Pumps

Pumps can be classified into two main categories: fixed displacement and variable displacement types. Fixed displacement pumps regulate volume based on the pump's capacity and the speed of the electric motor. Examples of fixed displacement pumps encompass internal and external gear pumps, axial and radial piston pumps, screw pumps, and vane pumps. On the other hand, variable volume pumps are engineered to provide adjustable flow or displacement, with vane pumps being a typical example of this category.
 
The gear pump stands out as one of the simplest and most robust positive displacement pumps, featuring just two moving parts. Renowned for its durability, gear pumps exhibit a high tolerance for fluid contamination, boast good overall efficiency, and operate relatively quietly. In applications where fluid contamination remains a persistent concern, gear pumps often emerge as the preferred choice.
 
Although gear pumps maintain a fixed volume at a given speed (in rpm), their flow rate and speed characteristics typically remain linear within their efficiency ranges. Controlling the speed and direction of a drive system can be effectively achieved by employing a reversible gear pump driven by a variable-speed electric motor. This setup proves particularly advantageous for integral Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs).
 
Gear pumps are commonly employed in applications with service pressures below 24 MPa (3500 psi). They are typically driven at 1765 rpm using a 5.6 kW electric motor.
 
The piston pump is a prevalent choice in gate drives due to its superior attributes. It boasts the highest volumetric efficiency, overall efficiency, output pressures, and longevity among pump types. Available in variable displacement variants, the piston pump offers a diverse range of control systems for managing pressure and capacity.
 
To mitigate noise and enhance pump longevity, the electric drive motor powering piston pumps is typically limited to speeds between 900 and 1200 rpm. Service pressures for piston pumps are generally restricted to less than 42 MPa (6000 psi), a level deemed sufficient for the majority of gate drives.
 
Axial piston pumps, a subtype of piston pumps, excel in high-pressure and high-volume applications, with their pistons arranged parallel to the drive shaft. Two primary configurations of axial piston pumps exist: the swash plate and the bent axis designs. While the swash plate design can accommodate a separate pilot pressure pump driven from a shaft extension, the bent axis design necessitates a separate electric motor and pump setup for pilot pressure, typically offering quieter operation with reduced vibration and wear.
 
Radial rolling piston pumps epitomize simplicity and reliability in their design. Featuring pistons that extend radially around a central drive shaft, these pumps offer a straightforward yet robust solution. A typical configuration incorporates solenoid controls capable of facilitating up to five discrete operating speeds. Each speed setting allows for a variable adjustment range from zero to full volume capacity, enabling on-the-fly adaptation to varying operating conditions. Additionally, the standard pumping system includes integral components such as an internal pilot pump, internal pressure relief valves, and associated control devices to regulate the speed of shifting between pumping rates.
 
Variable volume vane pumps, on the other hand, are esteemed for their efficiency and durability, provided a clean hydraulic system is upheld. Thanks to the pressure compensation feature inherent in vane pumps, the need for relief valves, unloading valves, or bypass valves is considerably reduced in a simple circuit. However, vane pumps are generally suited to service pressures below 14 MPa (2000 psi).
 

Hydraulic Pump Types

Three main categories encompass hydraulic pumps: gear, piston, and vane pumps. These categories further segment into various types based on their operational characteristics. For example, pumps can be classified as either fixed displacement or variable displacement, depending on their functionality.
 
Gear Pumps: These pumps are simple and reliable, using interlocking gears to pump fluid. They are often used in low-pressure applications and have a relatively low cost.
 
Piston Pumps: Piston pumps use reciprocating pistons to move fluid. They are known for their high efficiency and ability to handle high pressures. There are axial piston pumps, radial piston pumps, and bent-axis piston pumps.
 
Vane Pumps: Vane pumps use vanes mounted on a rotor to move fluid. They are efficient and relatively quiet, making them suitable for various applications. They are often used in medium-pressure systems.

Wind Of Doctrine

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

 

Wind Of Doctrine

 

Psalm 55:8 KJV

“I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest."

 

Brothers and Sisters do you Hear the Wind, do you Understand the Violence of the Wind? Right now, there is a Great Battle that is raging and many have become casualties, being blinded by the countless numbers that have risen up in our day. Scriptures tell us that in the Last Days that there will be all kinds of False Doctrine that many will believe and go astray.

 

Ephesians 4:14 KJV

“That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"

 

Romans 16:17 KJV

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them."

 

Brothers and Sisters Understand this, there is ONLY ONE WORD and there is ONLY ONE INTERPRETATION and that is, The Fathers! The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit will not, cannot, tell one Group, one Denomination one thing, then tell another something totally different, it is an impossibility!!!

 

We are Commanded to KEEP the Unity of The Spirit, but then how can we, because on Every Doctrine speaks of its own self.

 

For one church, Denomination, believes in Speaking of Tongues and another says it is of Satan, but yet The Word says there is Speaking Of Tongues, so then, the Denomination that believes not, we should Avoid Them, for they Speak against The Doctrine set by God. For another church, Denomination believes in the Five Offices that Jesus Himself set for these latter days to bring us into maturity, but yet there are many Denominations that only hold to One Office, that of a Pastor, but The Word Set By God, says differently, so then, we should Avoid those who Believe a Different Doctrine. Nowhere in The Bible does it say any of The  Five Offices will be no more, but Man and Satan has, by Adding To The Word, having set a False Doctrine in order, avoiding such Scriptures or explaining them away.

 

For then, do we have a problem within The Body Of Christ, for there is Only One Right Word, not many, that are to bring us into Maturity In God The Father through Jesus, by The Holy Spirit, or else the following Scriptures you need to Remove as they would be considered as False Doctrine to many…

 

Ephesians 4:3-6 KJV

"3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all."

 

Brothers and Sisters do YOU Not Understand that it is YOU who brings Division within The House Of God and it is Not God who has done so. It is Impossible for The Father to say one thing then turn in the same breath say to another the opposite of the first. Nor can Jesus set within The House those who He Calls, but turns around and says You will be taught of Ungodly Men and Women what I have said to make Jesus a liar!! For did Jesus Not send The Holy Spirit to Teach Us, to Comfort us in How we are to Live as The Father has demanded!!! But yet in all of these things YOU would agree with Your Lips, but would Stand upon a Doctrine that Speaks against!!!

Brothers and Sister Understand THIS, that False Doctrine can be that of The Bible that has been Manipulated to speak against what the Real Truth is. For example, in…

 

Romans 10:9-10 KJV

"9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

 

These Two Scriptures have lead many onto a path of False Doctrine, for many Believe that all someone has to do is Say they Believe in Jesus and Say they Believe He Rose from The Dead and they will be Saved, that nothing else has to happen, but this in Contrary to Scripture. For if this was all that was needed to be Saved from The Lake Of Fire, then the Bible would not be needed, but only a pamphlet. We would Not Need the Old Testament, nor would we Need How To Live within The New Testament, because it would not matter at all!!! But Jesus said this…

 

Matthew 7:21 KJV

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."

 

Luke 6:46 KJV

“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

 

There, Brothers and Sisters, MUST be Change, MUST be Action along with Confession that Jesus is Savior and Lord!!! If it were not so, then Jesus Statement saying that Confession is Not Enough would be a lie, but with Confession MUST HAVE be Doing The Fathers Will in order to Enter into The Kingdom of Heaven. Many False Doctrine Exclude that we Must Do The Fathers Will in order to be Saved!!!

 

Brothers and Sisters, again, do you really think that The Fathers Will on How we are to live, What we are to Believe is going to Change, be Different among those Who Claim to be Saved? This would make God a Lunatic!!!

 

Too many of you do not Understand that by Following such things that Speak Against The Word has made what Jesus did a Chaos Joke!!! Here is a Scripture that you can laugh at…

 

John 13:35 KJV

“By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

 

Jesus is The Word of The Father, The Word is Unchanging, if we say we Follow Jesus Teachings, then we are His Disciples and The Love that Jesus showed His Disciples we are to be Likewise…in this One Scripture it says this… WE MUST AGREE WITH ONE ANOTHER ON ONE WORD!!!

 

John 1:1, 14 KJV

"1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

 

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

 

This means, Brothers and Sisters, that there can only be One Word and we, Brothers and Sisters, it we are The Disciples Of Jesus, MUST Agree upon One Word!

 

It’s funny, but not really, how many Claim to be a Disciple of Jesus, that many Claim The Bible is The Last Word, but yet will Divide The Word to THEIR OWN LIKING and do not care What God Thinks about it, that YOU will Believe whatever suites you and can care less what others think, but yet again, it is The Word that will judge us all!!

 

I have had to learn through hard knock school on many things dealing with Our Lord Jesus and His Word, that The Foundation that Jesus is the Chief Corner Stone of, is Unchanging, is Unmovable but that Man and Satan have tried to Change it and Move it to their liking, to satisfy The Flesh of their Own Reasoning.

 

Indeed we are in The Last Days of The Gentiles, so many things have come to pass, so many things are Living Proof of Jesus Return for His Bride and the most clearest thing, is a Fragmented Church.

 

2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV

"3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

 

This Brothers and Sisters are where we are today. Every person who Claims that this church or that church is the only correct one and they do not adhere to The Fullness Of Scriptures, are all as this Scripture says. Anyone who says that this Denomination or that Denomination has all of the right answers is blind and has fallen into a pit. For The Church that Jesus died for has No Name, has No Walls, has No Doctrine of its own, but Accepts The Bible in its fullness from Beginning to the Ending with No Variation. I have had to stop going to any church, any denomination because too many have sprinkled False Doctrine with a Partial Truth of Doctrine, making it False in its entirety.

 

1 Corinthians 5:6 KJV

“Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?"

 

Galatians 5:9 KJV

“A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump."

 

True Doctrine cannot be carried about with the Wind, but will Stand Against The Wind Of Change!!!

  

 

Amen and Amen!!!
