Answer to Question 1

It places the heat where it can warm the roots and plant for better growth
than an overhead heat source and it allows the grower to dry the floor after plants
have been watered. This keeps the plant foliage drier, thereby reducing diseases.

Answer to Question 2

1) The exhaust temperature is lower, thus more of the heat of
combustion is used for heating. 2) Conduction heat loss is lower because the
inside to outside temperature differential is lower due to a lower inside operational
temperature.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
