The place they offered me is dirty and full of roaches and bedbugsThe apartment offered is on the tenth floor and the elevators don't workThe whole inside of the building looks rundownGranted I am disabled and low income but I don't want to live in filthI know I can clean the apartment bug the bug problem will be constant unless they fumigate the placeWhat I need to know is: will housing put me back at the bottom of the list if I turn down this apartment or, even worse, deny me services?
You don't have to accept it if you don't like itYou won't go to the bottom of the list and you application will still be assessed based on the same criteriaThe time it takes for the next offer will depend on availabilityTalk them about repairs to the apartment and eventual fumigationHaving said that the elevators can be a problem that they cannot solve effectively.
Helium diffuses through the skin of a balloonLatex is a porous material so the helium leaks out of itThe best thing would be to coat it with silicone glue.
helium diffuses out of the ballon through both the skin and hole,by covering a rubber helium ballon by gluing aluminium foil to it,it would still lose the helium after a while but would stay a float much longer than usual
If you were to use the Search for Questions feature at the top of the page, you would get a variety of answers, but the most common goes something like this: The skin of a latex balloon is actually porousNormal atmospheric air, like what we breathe, cannot go through it because its molecules are too largeHelium's molecules are much smaller, small enough to seep through the tiny tunnels through the latex membraneThus, the helium party balloon gradually and eventually sinks down to the floorNow there is a rubbery compound known in the balloon industry as Hi FloatThis substance is injected in the balloon prior to inflating with helium, and coats the inside of the balloon to slow the seepage loss of the heliumIt is not perfect, but it makes the balloon float longer than if left untreatedCovering the balloon with silicone or tin foil might delay helium seepage, but they will weigh down the balloon enough so it won't float, which defeats the purpose of putting helium in there in the first placeBesides, very messy!
Helium molecules are very smallAir molecules are larger, that's why air filled balloons have a longer up time compared to helium balloonsThe helium leaks through the balloon quicker.
