When they bought their current home about 18 months ago, the couple had the interior of the four-bedroom, four-bath, 3,000-square-foot home painted white. Seagrass Rugs were put down, and they had recessed Lighting installed. They also redid the kitchen with help from IKEA. The cosmetic makeover took about three fast-paced weeks.

There are locations where current conditions can be critical. Many ocean inlets are difficult or dangerous in certain combinations of current and onshore surf. The danger is greater if the current is ebbing.

The motion of both the electrons and the holes contributes to the total current flow. If the terminals of the battery are reversed to the opposite, or reverse-biased, condition, both the holes and electrons are pulled away from the junction, thus preventing current flow. The diode therefore changes, or rectifies, alternating current into direct current by allowing only the positive half of the alternating current to pass through the diode. For this reason, the diode is an important element in radio circuits.
