CONT

Laser lipolysis is a non-invasive form of body sculpting. It removes small fat deposits.... Laser lipolysis can be done in the doctor's office. It takes about half an hour, and you can return to normal activity right away. There is no anesthesia involved. To do the laser "lipo, "your doctor attaches paddle-like applicators to the area to be treated. The paddles emit heat that penetrates your skin and heats up the fat cells underneath. The heat damages the membranes of the fat cells, so they start to die off. Your body then absorbs the dead cells.

A cannabis concentrate extraction process.

OBS

A "closed loop" refers to a system in which the entire process is done within a "closed" vessel. The solvent used to extract does not ever come in contact with the outside atmosphere. The "loop" portion refers to the recovery and reuse aspect of the system. The solvent will start inside one vessel, and then move through another containing botanical material, after which it will return back into the original vessel hence creating a "loop. "

PHR

closed-loop extraction process, closed-loop extraction system

Flyball races match two teams of four dogs each, racing side-by-side over a fifty one foot long course. Each dog must run in relay fashion down the jumps, trigger a flyball box, releasing the ball, retrieve the ball, and return over the jumps. The next dog is released to run the course but can’t cross the start/finish line until the previous dog has returned over all four jumps and reached the start/finish line. The first team to have all four dogs finish the course without error wins the heat.
