Travel Blending is a technique, developed in Australia , for encouraging people to make more efficient and environmentally sound transport transportation choices. The technique involves governments encouraging citizens to deal with a greater number of tasks on one given trip rather than making several trips to multiple locations at different times, hopefully thus improving travel efficiency and decreasing the strain on transportation networks. This technique originated in Sydney as an effort to improve Sydney s air pollution air quality before the 2000 Summer Olympics 2000 Summer Olympic Games .

Image Gas blending equipment.JPG thumb right Air, oxygen and helium gas blending system Gas blending or gas mixing is the filling of diving cylinder s with non air breathing gas es such as nitrox , Trimix breathing gas trimix and heliox . Filling cylinders with a mixture of gases has dangers for both the filler and the diver. During filling there is a risk of fire due to use of oxygen and a risk of explosion due to the use of high pressure gases. The composition of the mix must be safe for the depth and duration of the planned dive. If the concentration of oxygen is too lean the diver may lose consciousness due to Hypoxia medical hypoxia and if it is too rich the diver may suffer oxygen toxicity . The concentration of inert gases, such as nitrogen and helium, are planned and checked to avoid nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness .

Tea blending describes the process of blending different teas together to produce a final product. This occurs chiefly with black tea that is blended to make most tea bag s but can also occur with such teas as Pu erh , where leaves are blended from different regions before being compressed. The aim of blending is to create a well balanced flavour using different origins and characters. This also ensures that variation in quality and from season to season can be ironed out. The one golden rule of blending is this Every blend must taste the same as the previous one, so a consumer will not be able to detect a difference in flavour from one purchase to the next. There are various teas which have additives and or different processing than pure varieties. Tea is able to easily receive any aroma, which may cause problems in processing, transportation or storage of tea, but can be also advantageously used to prepare scented teas. Tea is usually flavoured in large blending drums with perfumes , flavour ants, and essential oils added. Although blending and scenting teas can add an additional dimension to tea, the process is often used to cover and obscure the quality of sub standard teas citation needed date December 2010 .
