What is the voltage of a cat5 cable while it's communicating?

One person has suggested: "Its a very small amout of voltage. Usually microvolts." This is somewhat inaccurate, but only by a factor of around 1,000,000 times too small. A more accurate number is: "around 2.5 volts peak differential". Your typical consumer LAN uses 10Base-T signalling over a Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted-pair cable. The 10BASE-T transmitter output voltage specified in the standard (IEEE 802.3-2005 14.3.1.2.1) requires a peak differential voltage of 2.2 to 2.8 V into a 100-Ohm resistive load. There are IEEE technical discussions (March 2007) about reducing it to below 2 volts, perhaps using a "negotiation" protocol for devices on the LAN to choose a lower voltage if they are capable.

How can you tell if two water turtles like each other?

If two turtles like each other they will not get in fights and you will also be able to tell by how they act around each other.

What do you do when your baby red ear slider has not eaten all week and sleeps all the time?

The most likely cause of the problem is that the weather is getting cold. Turtles are cold-blooded animals, meaning, they cannot create their own body heat. They use the sun's heat and light. A captive turtle living indoors does not get much (if any) direct sunlight, so you have to provide it artificially, using a UV heat lamp.

Furthermore, turtles go into hibernation during the winter months, meaning, they slow down their metabolism to the point where food energy is not required. This is not healthy for a captive turtle. In the wild, turtles bury themselves deep in the mud to hibernate, and this obviously isn't possible for a turtle that lives in a tank.

Since most baby turtles are hatched in the spring and summer, people typically do not notice that their turtle is suffering from lack of heat and light until the weather starts getting colder. That's when the turtle stops eating and starts acting sluggish and sleepy.

What you need to do is prevent the turtle from going into hibernation, by buying a UV heat lamp to put/hang over the tank. This will provide the turtle with the heat and UV light that it is not receiving from the sun.

When I first got my baby red-eared slider, she started doing the exact same thing you are describing, once the summer ended and the weather started getting colder. I bought her a UV heat lamp and she perked right up (well, it took a few days), and I've never had that problem since.

You can buy UV heat lamps at Petco and other pet stores. You can also buy a timer for the lamp, so you don't have to be home to turn it on every morning, and off every night. I have included two links, one to the Petco webpage where you can buy Zoo Med Reptile Basking Spot Lamp Bulbs, and a lamp to put those bulbs in, and another to the website where you can buy a timer for the lamp.

Do NOT wait to buy a UV heat lamp. Once the symptoms start, you have about 3 weeks to provide the turtle with heat and UV light, before it may die.

Once the UV heat lamp is set up, you should leave it on all year round, even in the summer months. The turtle may not need the extra heat in the summer months, but it still needs the UV light.

However, note that hatchling turtles typically do not eat for the first 1 to 2 weeks out of the egg. While it still has its "egg tooth," it most likely will not eat, as it is still living off of the placenta of the egg. If it does not eat after 10 days of birth you need to see a vet (or about 5 days after it loses it's egg tooth, which normally occurs 5 to 7 days after birth.

There are also underlying medical problems that could be the reason, but would also accompany other signs, i.e., difficulty breathing, eye infections, shell softening. Most vets that deal with reptiles can help.

The turtle could also have a respiratory infection. This is mainly caused by it being kept too cold. Other signs are crooked swimming, not swimming away when it sees you like it normally does, bubbles coming out of it's nose and mouth, and the very unpleasant opening of the mouth like if it was trying to breath out really hard, floating, and not being able to swim down.

This is bad because it can die, but if you notice it early, then a shot from the vet and making the water much warmer will help it recover just fine. You have to slightly spoil them with treats to encourage them to start eating again. Cooked, wet, ground beef was the only thing mine ate when she was in the late stage of floating. Try small live earth worms too. But most importantly, you need a UV heat lamp.

How do you fix a 583.66 Model 60 shotgun when shells jam in the chamber?

Sounds like your ejector is worn and not 'grabbing' the base of the shell securely. I would suggest having it examined by a qualified gunsmith and have them effect repairs.

What are some favorite foods of a baby painted turtle?

Baby painted turtles can enjoy a diet of small insects such as crickets and mealworms, as well as small aquatic invertebrates like bloodworms and daphnia. They also like to eat leafy greens and aquatic plants. It's important to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.

How can you tell the difference between a charge and a blocking foul in basketball?

A charge in basketball is when a player comes in and deliberitly knocks down a player to try to get a foul called on the other team. When the ref is paying attention they will call a charge foul on ethier the offense. Like a charge a blocking foul is when a defensive player plants themselves in front of an on coming player and refuse to move to the point of the player coming at them to take down the blocking player. These two fouls seem to be up to the disgression of the ref, but people have more to say about how bad the ref is calling a game and don't pay attetion why the ref called certain fouls like a charge or a blocking foul. Here are some rules about an offensive plenlty if called A personal foul assessed against an offensive player which is neither an elbow, punching or flagrant foul shall be penalized in the following manner: (1) No points can be scored by the offensive team

(2) The offending player is charged with a personal foul

(3) The offending team is not charged with a team foul

Is something wrong with your very young red ear slider if its shell looks like its peeling or flaking and if its skin and shell looks dry?

I have been raising turtles for a long time. Depending on the turtle's health, the turtle will shed it's shell and skin up to 3 or even 4 times a year. When it sheds it's shell and skin it just means that it is growing, and like most reptiles it has to shed. Do not help peel it off as it can rip the skin underneath it, hurting the turtle. The best thing to do to help your turtle is to get a good size rough sand stone rock. Your turtle may use this to rub it's loose skin and shell off with. As the turtle matures it sheds less, maybe only once a year.

If your turtle has dry, cracked skin keep it in warm water for a few weeks while feeding it foods that are high on calcium, like bananas.... yes bananas... If your turtle won't eat bananas go out and buy frozen (or fresh) blood worms. put the turtle in a clean large ice cream container with about half an inch of water. Mix a little bit of the blood worms with calcium and/or vitamin D powder, and put it in the container with your turtle. You don't want blood worms in your tank unless you plan on cleaning it right away. Calcium and vitamin D will help heal your turtle's skin and shell.

I hope this answers your question, and helps with the health of your turtle's skin and shell.
