Are you suffering from bad breath? Does bad breath routinely return even after using products such as mouthwash to help freshen your breath and eliminate the bacteria responsible for it? If so, then it could be the cause of food choices, poor oral hygiene, oral health ailments, and even underlying problems and issues within your body.
In order to protect your oral health from the dangers of bad breath, it is important to understand what is causing it. Most commonly, it is linked to minor issues including the foods and drinks you are consuming. Furthermore, it can be a side effect of medications you may be taking. Also, bad breath is often linked to poor oral hygiene due to a failure to brush and floss on a daily basis.
If you have not already done so, be aware that smoking and chewing tobacco are linked to numerous oral health ailments including producing bad breath and stained teeth. In addition, it can cause tooth loss and cancer. Furthermore, bad breath can even be caused by underlying ailments within your mouth such as gum disease.
If you are not already made aware, it is important to understand that bad breath can arise at any time and be caused by issues deep within your body, not only your mouth. Thus, oral health care treatments are not always the keys to solving your bad breath. This occurs if you have any kidney or liver issues, as well as with respiratory tract infections.
Take your smile to the next level with halitosis prevention. If you are ready to take the next step to achieve a fantastic smile with halitosis prevention, schedule an appointment with Steven Rattner DDS at our dentist office in College Park, Maryland by calling 301-474-8277. Dr. Steven Rattner and the rest of our team look forward to helping you with your oral health care.

Somehow, I'm getting ads/personal messages/spam from all sorts of DC choruses right now advertising their various concerts - which all seem to be happening within a month of Christmas. I suppose it's a good thing that so many groups have decided to ditch the Christmas Concert formula, but all I have to do to get depressed is to look at their programs. Why do singers and conductors love so much music that sucks?
One day I hope to be ready to write about the whole two-and-a-half-year VoW experience with equanimity, if the spirit ever moves me.....
.......not for a while.

The resource has been added to your collection
Each unit contains a complete package for students. In most cases, there is a reading assignment to be completed beforehand, in-class investigations, and homework to follow. You will find a Teacher's Guide for each unit discussing the mathematical content of the activities and pedagogical suggestions for optimal use of the lesson. Each teacher's guide provides a complete set of answers for the questions in the student materials. Many of the units are mathematical investigations set in contexts that will usually provide new information of interest to students in the context itself, such as studying the problem of lead poisoning or the relationship between sickle cell anemia and malaria. This is intended to help students see that the mathematics they are learning now can be used to help solve significant real problems. It is expected that investigations in context will also help students whose learning style is holistic relate to the analytic methods of mathematics. Units in a context with real significance will be marked with (Real). For more info: http://www9.georgetown.edu/faculty/sandefur/handsonmath/index.html

Thanks to the Friends of Canon Popham
A huge THANK YOU to the Friends of Canon Popham who have worked so hard to organize and put on a really lovely Christmas Fair last week. Events like this take a great deal of organization and all the children in school benefit from the funds raised.
Many thanks to everyone who contributed in any way, either through donations of items, volunteering to help or coming to support the event.
Once the Friends of Canon Popham have completed their Christmas fund raising efforts, which will continue over the next 2 weeks with the sale of refreshments etc at our Nativity plays and Carol services, we will be able to let you know the final total of funds raised .
New Climbing Frame
It was appropriate that the brand new climbing frame was installed last Friday, on the same day as our Christmas fair. This was a great example of how the children in school benefit from every penny that is raised in all the PTA fund raising. The children are delighted with it and we hope that it will last just as long as the old one did, and that the children will enjoy using it for many years to come.
Can we please remind parents and carers that if your child choses to use the climbing frame either before school starts or after school it is parents responsibility to supervise their safe behavior and play during these times. In addition, on snowy or icy days, the climbing frame should not be used for health and safety reasons.
Thank you.
Next week we have our Foundation and Key Stage 1 Christmas Nativity Plays. We look forward to seeing all those who have booked tickets for these events. The children and staff have worked really hard preparing them and we are sure you will enjoy them. Our Key Stage 2 Carol Services are in the final week of the term. Due to the numbers of people that can be seated in the church, this is strictly by ticket only and we ask that you bring your tickets with you to be admitted to the service.
The evening performance is now full, and we are unable to meet any further requests for tickets for this service.

A proposal to introduce a 1 per cent "development tax" would add $620 to the cost of building a three bedroom home and up to $1.8 million to major commercial construction projects, the Property Council of Australia said today. In case you are considering trading the obligation regarding leasehold property Act Conveyancing Sydney then similarly you will need to complete the entire conveyancing framework. That means the developers of one major building project in Sydney's CBD, for instance, would have faced up to $2 million in additional costs as a result of the tax.
Similarly, the tax would add an extra $568 to the cost of building a two bedroom home (110 sq m), $620 to a three bedroom home (120 sq m) and $931 to a four bedroom property (180 sq m).While the spin doctors claim the levy is a tax on development, the real story is that it's a tax on investment, a tax on jobs and a tax on home ownership at a time when the construction sector faces a significant downturn.
Thus actions within t h e SAPs have been defined in terms of their contribution to the Strategic Pr iorities set out within each of the Programme s for the Region. However, this proposal will force property owners to fund the system when they have no control over safety. One SEEDA director has assumed responsibility for each of the Programmes, and resources within SEEDA have been structured within this framework.
But these five markets are striving to remake themselves by attracting industries that offer strong growth prospects. Des Moines, like Kansas City, remained fairly stable through the recession. The metro area has an extensive financial-services sector with the third-highest concentration of insurance headquarters in the world including KVI, Principal Financial Group and Allied Group. Jobs in the FIRE and business services sectors account for a high 20 percent of total employment compared to 18 percent in the U.S. Call centers flock to Omaha due to its low business and living costs, the flat Midwestern accents of its populace, and a robust communications infrastructure that is a legacy of Offutt Air Force Base.

Remember Me
Body-building Tip #39 – These thoughts are designed to help members of the body at Grace to encourage one another's faith.
School is out, summer is here and you may now have more time to show hospitality to some folks at Grace. Hospitality can include a variety of activities. You may want to invite some people to your home for a meal or cookout. Or how about just dessert? Maybe you could play an outdoor game even with two families playing together. If you prefer not to do something at your home, getting together at a restaurant for breakfast or a snack can be a great way to relax and enjoy the company of others. There are several very nice walking paths in the area, so an invitation to meet at one of those paths for a walk can result in a delightful time together.
Any act of hospitality communicates an interest in other people. Knowing that someone thought about you and would like to share your company is in itself is a source of emotional encouragement.
Challenge: Showing hospitality can result in spiritual encouragement too. First, it can give you a great opportunity to get to know some people a little better and to identify needs or concerns for which you can pray or offer help. Second, you can plan to include a "body-building" time when you get together. A time to share salvation testimonies or blessings God has given, a prayer time or discussing a worship service message or Sunday School class can help to focus on God, the Giver of growing faith. Remember the charge God has given us, "Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works…" Heb. 10:24. Will you try to use hospitality to build up the body at Grace in faith?
Body-building Tip #38 – These thoughts are designed to help members of the body at Grace to encourage one another's faith.
So you have decided that you would like to encourage someone in the faith but just aren't sure what to say. You could ask some questions in hopes of discovering a need or challenge the other person is facing. Then you could share something of God's grace from the Word to hopefully strengthen his or her faith. But that may be more than you would like to do at first.
Instead, consider sharing something of God's work of grace in your own life. How is God blessing you? What answers to prayer have you received lately? Have you learned something about Him and your great salvation for which you would like to praise Him? What God is doing in your life gives you a rich and personal testimony which can strengthen the faith of others. When you share what God is doing in your life with me, I get to know God better too.
Challenge: Won't you share a testimony of what God is doing in your life with someone this week? God will be glorified, someone will get know a little more about His grace, and you will obeying God's command to build up one another in the faith.

Rhode Island Spotlight: Neighbors Helping Neighbors
It was a busy and productive weekend last month as dozens of volunteers fanned out across the southern part of RI to tackle construction projects that the owners of nine homes could not afford to do themselves. Neighbors Helping Neighbors RI is the outgrowth of a Faith in Action group based out of St. Andrew Lutheran Church in Charlestown. Three years ago the group formed its own non-profit organization and has grown to 125 members that go well beyond the church. The focus: people in need living in South County
"In order for them to stay in their homes, sometimes they just need a boost," said Greg Plunkett, a retired school superintendent from Connecticut who now lives in Charlestown. His expertise is on the administrative side, helping line up and coordinate the volunteers. "There are places where they can go to get clothing, there are places where they can go to get assistance for heat, there are places they can go and get assistance for food. As far we know, we're one of the only places that can help them with repairs to their homes. And so we feel in a small way we can help them stay in their homes and stay independent."
The organization typically schedules one big weekend in the spring and one in the fall to do multiple projects throughout South County. On the third weekend of May, we caught up with a painting crew at the home of a 96-year-old woman in Charlestown, whose house was transformed by the end of the day.
Just down the road in Westerly, a crew was hard at work rebuilding a rotted deck in the backyard of a disabled low-income homeowner. Roger Stedman, who began in construction 50 years ago, worked alongside his son-in-law, two grandsons and a friend to complete the deck over two days. Stedman is a member of St. Andrew church and has watched the program grow.
"The resident can't afford to hire someone to paint, or perhaps even to pay for the paint, because paint is pretty expensive today," he said. "So if we come in and do some of that maintenance work for them, that allows them to continue to pay their mortgage, buy their pills and go get food."
And in North Kingstown, Kay Cutting watched as a crew that included her daughter and son-in-law installed a ramp from her back door to her driveway. Mrs. Cutting has had increasing trouble walking, and stairs have become difficult to negotiate.
"I was just overcome, overwhelmed," Mrs. Cutting told us the week after the project was completed. "And I didn't know it was going to be 20 feet long, this beautiful ramp. I never could have afforded it myself, and it's not costing me a dime, which is just more overwhelming. So I saw God's work right in front of me."
All projects begin with a one-page application, which asks what needs to be done and the income level of the homeowner.
"We want to make sure we're fair to everybody," said Susan Jaquith, the president of Neighbors Helping Neighbors RI. "That we're servicing real needs and not just maybe 'I want to change the color of my living room walls.' We don't want to put our volunteers and funds on that kind of thing so we're very careful."
Last year the group did 27 projects.
"The more jobs we do, the more our name gets known in South County and so the more requests we have for work," Plunkett said. "And as those requests begin to increase it means we need funds, but in addition to that we need volunteers. When you think of South County, you think of the beach at Narragansett, you think of Watch Hill, you think of Newport, you think of all of these places where there's a lot of wealth. But that's not all there is in South County. There's an awful lot of people who are seasonal workers, older people who are living on a fixed income, single parents.
So why this collective effort?
Jaquith said, "I guess it's that look on the person's face that makes you think, 'That could be my mother, that could be me.'"

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Korean cars are leaving competitors behind when it comes to quality, a leading report on automobiles says.
On the other hand, Japanese brands are slipping down the rankings, falling below the industry average for the first time in 29 years.
That's according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Index report, which has just been released.
The study measures problems experienced by vehicle owners during the first 90 days of ownership.
In terms of nameplates, Porsche (POAHF) ranked top for the third consecutive year, followed by Kia and Jaguar(TTM) - Get Report. Infiniti was one of the most improved brands in the study, coming in at number 5.
Though vehicles are becoming more high tech than ever, technological advancements continued to cause problems for the industry.
Entertainment and connectivity systems provided consumers with the most frequent problems for a third consecutive year.
Voice recognition and bluetooth also caused regular issues for consumers.
"Smartphones have set high consumer expectations of how well technology should work, and automakers are struggling to match that success in their new vehicles," said J.D. Power's vice president of U.S. automotive quality Renee Stephens.
"However, we are seeing some OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) make important improvements along the way," Stephens said. "What's clear is that they can't afford to wait for the next generation of models to launch before making important updates to these systems."
An OEM is a company that brands and sells another company's products under its own name.
Overall, initial vehicle quality has increased by around 3% since last year. BMW's Rosslyn, South Africa plant ranked the most efficient in terms of assembly line quality, producing models with the fewest malfunctions.
The plant manufactures the BMW 3 series.

|Baby Pimples: Treatment and Solution
What Is Baby Pimples?New parents or caretakers might be unfamiliar with the appearance of baby pimples. The look is actually similar to ones we generally find on teenagers. However, not all bumps found on newborns' skin are pimples so caretakers should be aware of the descriptions of baby pimples for prevention and treatment. Pimples are red or white bumps which could present at the time of birth and last until weeks later. Just like acne on teenagers' skin, baby pimples are bumps which are often surrounded by reddish skin. They usually present around baby's face and back. In some condition, these bumps will last and persist in months. In a more severe case, pimples make babies fussy that you may need medical help.
To be clear, actually, there are two types of acne founded in young age. The first one is neonatal acne, type which will disappear itself when the babies are about three month old. Until today, there are no exact explanation about the cause of this skin condition. Parents should not worry, however, as baby pimples do not refer to future condition of their kids' skin. The second type of acne occurs when babies are older than three months. This type of acne stays longer than the former. Known as infantile acne, it presents as large red bump. Infantile acne needs to be treat carefully as it may develop to be more severe and potentially leave scar.
Another skin condition commonly found on newborn skin is milia. It is miniscule white bumps that present at birth and fortunately will disappear in just few weeks. Milia is different with acne and is not related to any acne condition.
Why Can Baby Have Pimples?Although it is said to be familiar condition in newborn skin, there must be the cause of the occurrence of baby pimples we should learn to prevent it getting severe. Baby pimples are believed as development of skin irritation caused by saliva and milk on the face. Breast-fed and formula-fed babies both have the same chances of getting irritated. It is also suggested that maternal hormone during pregnancy brings impact to this condition. Medication also potentially trigger the occurrence of baby pimples. Either medication a mother take during breastfeeding or one the baby directly consumes, both bring the same risk. Another common cause of baby pimples is unnecessary use of baby skincare. Avoid oily, creamy cosmetics as they can block the pores.
Irritation may get worse if the skin interacts with harsh fabric or strong detergent. Always check on your babies' fabrication not only for comfort, but also to prevent baby pimples to develop.
How To Avoid Baby Pimples?There are precautions to avoid the occurrence of baby pimples we can do. As it is stated earlier, this skin condition can be a result from irritation which is triggered by interaction with certain external objects. Spill milk, harsh fabric, strong detergent, and baby cosmetics are among common objects known to irritate baby skin.
Always keep your baby's skin clean. Frequently clean the skin and make sure you use mild soap which moisturizes. References are easily founded on internet or you may need advice from pediatrician. Do not rub or scrub baby's thin, soft skin with towel. Gently pat the skin with soft-fabricated towel to dry it off. If you have to use washcloth, use it gently in circular motion around baby's face and body.
Fancy baby cosmetics in store often times can be tempting. However, it is not suggested to use all of them on baby's sensitive skin. Avoid unnecessary cosmetics especially those which are thick and creamy in texture. These lotions potentially clog the pores and stimulates pimples. If you still want to use any, make sure to choose ones which are specially designed for newborn babies.
What Should Be Done If Babies Have Pimples?Do not panic neither too ignorant that we assume pimples are common condition in babies. There are treatments at home caretakers can do as the solution in case of baby pimples.
- Cleansing Basics
It is important to keep baby skin clean and moisturized. Warm water can be used to soothe the skin when bathing. Clean thoroughly but avoid rubbing on irritated skin. Gently dry your baby with soft tap. Do not use towel with rough fabric as it can scratch the skin and make the irritation get worse. Stop applying creamy, oily lotion to keep the pores breathable.
Also check the hygiene of baby's environment including clothes, blankets, bedsheets, toys, and other things which directly interacts with the skin. Gently wipe baby's face with soft fabric to clean spilt milk or saliva.
- Medication and Natural Treatment
Specially-formulated medication for babies are available in store to help easing the burn. Ointment is the most familiar medicine in pimple cases. If you hesitate to pick any, firstly consult with your pediatrician.
If you choose to go natural, try the popularly recommended coconut oil. Use few drops of the oil on cotton and gently apply on skin. Another must-try natural treatment is applying breastmilk onto the troubled skin. Breastmilk is believed to contain antibacterial that can help curing baby pimples.
- Note on Breastfeeding
If you breastfeed, watch your diet. Even though mother's nutrition may not be directly related to baby pimples. It is suggested to reduce consumption of foods that trigger acne such as dairy products and greasy foods.
- Be Patient
It may take time to baby pimples disappear, so be patient. No need to panic as baby pimples are generally harmless and will disappear in relatively short period of time. Do not squeeze or pinch acne because it may trigger a severe irritation.

Article date: 1990/3/1
PubMed ID: 1691458
Journal name: Neuropharmacology (ISSN: 0028-3908)
Discontinuation of chronic treatment with alprazolam may cause a characteristic clinical syndrome. To assess the basis of this syndrome, mice were treated with alprazolam, 2 mg/kg, for 7 days, a regimen associated with the development of tolerance and downregulation of receptors. Effects on motor activity and the binding and function of GABA receptors were evaluated 1, 2, 4 and 7 days after discontinuation. Motor activity was similar to controls 1 day after cessation of alprazolam, increased from days 2 to 4 after-alprazolam, and returned to control values by 7 days. The binding of benzodiazepines in vivo and in vitro was increased in the cortex 2 and 4 days after alprazolam and in the hypothalamus at 4 days after alprazolam. Binding returned to control values in all areas by 7 days. Binding at the chloride channel, using [35S]t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate, was not significantly altered after discontinuation. Muscimol-stimulated uptake of [36Cl-] in cortical synaptoneurosomes was increased at 4 days after alprazolam, compared to days 1, 2 and 7. Thus, behavioral and neurochemical alterations was associated with the discontinuation of alprazolam. These alterations were qualitatively similar to those observed following discontinuation of lorazepam but occurred more rapidly and with differing regional specificity.

With a background in software engineering and business analysis, I'm floored by things in Trinidad and Tobago at times – be it the odd ID photocopying fetish, or wondering where the data that should be the basis for government decisions is, and so on. It's not that the rest of the world is perfect. It's that the rest of the world seems to have been trying harder for some time.
So much of the world is interconnected, but it's demonstrable that people don't realize it. Like the flapping of wings of butterflies, it's easy to create an effect on the other side of the world – and to be aware of that is important. Today, I'm writing about this in Trinidad and Tobago's context because I simply happen to be in Trinidad and Tobago.
The principles apply well beyond here, and are even more complex than this simple entry can demonstrate. Network power is fluid and doesn't stand still long enough to write about in a context that would stand the test of time.
Within the confines of a relatively small nation, within the confines of a restrictive financial system that doesn't take seriously the use of the Internet as a means of obtaining legal foreign exchange… we might need to act locally, but we also need to be seen globally.
This is important in a nation that, collectively, finds the only real exports to be decreasingly profitable when information fiefdoms dominate how we view the world now and in the future – and by doing that, dominating how we see our own past.
The Papaya and the Paw-paw: Language and reach.
I was given a hard time once on a social media post because I wrote papaya instead of paw-paw – which, in Trinidad and Tobago, are the same thing. Why did I do that?
The global population is 7.6 billion, of that 7.6 billion roughly a billion at this time speak English. The population of Trinidad and Tobago is estimated at 1.365 million. So, using the colloquial paw-paw means only 0.13% of English speakers will know what I'm talking about, which severely limits an audience – but it also means that automatic translators that won't have the tools for colloquialisms given implicit context will not be able to tranalste it.
Papaya, however, translates fine. The word is representative of what is accepted around the world to call a thing in one language, and thus translates to other languages where it can be understood. It might seem plain, it might seem vanilla, but really, it's about understanding that the audience is larger than just one country.
We're networked. While I'm writing this about Trinidad and Tobago, it applies to so many other places. Language is a protocol; subsets of it in a local context are only good for that local context.
I didn't make it so, that's the way it is – if we did the same with computing technology, such that the hypertext transfer protocol (http) had a local dialect, there would be mayhem. And this is only a part of understanding that we live in a networked world.
So, culturally, you want to call it a paw paw? Fine. But for an international audience, let them know you're talking about a papaya.
Networked Journalism
The above has great bearing on local media which, in Trinidad and Tobago, is very focused on the local market – yet the websites are not just local read, they're foreign read. Each of these websites is an implicit ambassador for Trinidad and Tobago. I don't think they realize that, and collectively, if they do they don't care too much.
This extends to the archives. Mark Lyndersay covered the visual aspect of this in, "Journalism 2017: The lost visual history (Bitdepth #1101)"; the written archives are also at issue in accessibility in various ways.
Then, there's the content. I read five paragraphs into a story today in one newspaper – physical print – and wondered what the article was about, simply because the writer, and the editor, assumed I magically knew the context they would provide below the acronym soup references. My secondary school teachers would have ridiculed me in front of the class for that – I thank them for that now.
The Trinidad and Tobago media, as a whole, needs to realize that there's a global audience – and with the above paw-paw example, you can see where the actual audience is. Certainly, we need ominous back and forth articles that lead nowhere for the local readership – that's stock in trade for local politics – but what about that global audience? What about interacting with the rest of the planet?
And this, of course, leads us to…
Social Networks
In this article, I connected the traditional media and social media as what the French have called the Fourth Estate. This means bloggers, businesses and anyone with an online presence has a responsibility to some degree – I don't know what degree – for what they post. Legally, Justice Frank Seepersad has made a local ruling in the context of libel earlier in 2018, which makes the point clear in a local context.
It's also a global context – and in an economic sense, despite the lack of effort from banks and government, that global context has more bearing on Trinidad and Tobago than the standard picong we find on social media. Granted, it's good picong, but it's typically local – and the fact that international readers don't know what I'm talking about underlines the point. You'll note that I added a link to my first use of the word so the rest of the planet knows what it means. Good practice.
On social media, we're a part of the global village. Sure, that means you can hop on board the 'hate the blonde President with dubious hairstyle', but don't we have more to offer? I would think so.
Government online presences, while improving, aren't really there yet. And really, there's a problem of bringing antiquated paper systems into the 1990s in 2018. It's slow, it is happening, and it doesn't seem to be happening fast enough. I mean, we're still photocopying identification.
I'd go on and write more about this, but I am hopeful. I am hopeful because I do see strides being made – but I am critical because the rest of the planet isn't waiting around for a statistically irrelevant economy. That's an unpopular thing to hear, I know, but we're just not a large enough market. This is why Mark Zuckerburg hasn't shown up in Trinidad and Tobago after the CA scandal.
The onus is on Trinidad and Tobago.
Remember that country we used to make jokes about? Wait for it…
This all ties to economics, and the economics are befuddling for local businesses because of convoluted methods of collecting payments online, antiquated paper processes being slowly made technological, and because of the reality that people don't have as much disposable income as they used to around the world – and, specifically, locally.
There are some who will say that it's too late. It's not. It's simply late. And until the government and banks catch up, the least we could do is make it more viable so that maybe at some point they'll realize the untapped potential within Trinidad and Tobago. That means that we collectively have to, for them to take notice.

Geosynthetic Pit Liners
Impermeable Geotextile Pit Liners for Power Plants
Power plants use pits, ponds, and reservoirs for a variety of water-based uses. Regardless of application, these areas must be sealed and fortified from the neighboring ecosystem, ensuring the least amount of contamination to local flora and fauna. One of the most effective containment methods uses geosynthetic liners as part of a barrier system to keep the power station as eco-friendly as possible.
GEI Works offers high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geosynthetic liners as a required component to any containment system for ponds, pits, and reservoirs at power plants. With three thicknesses available, most power station applications for pit liners are covered regardless of the liquid composition. See the item specific PDFs below:
- 20 mil Geosynthetic Liner PDF Flyer
- 24 mil Geosynthetic Liner PDF Flyer
- 40 mil Geosynthetic Liner PDF Flyer
Visit the Geomembrane Liners page for more information.
Questions about a geomembrane liner? Call the GEI Works team at 1-772-646-0597 or request pricing.
Power Station Applications for Geosynthetic Liners
Ash Ponds (Fly Ash/CCRs) – Ash ponds, also known as surface impoundments, are created for the wet method disposal of fly ash – waste from a nearby combustion power plant. A ring embankment encloses the ash pond site, and a geomembrane liner keeps contaminants from leeching into the surrounding environment. Ash slurry is pumped into the surface impoundment and the water portion given time to evaporate. Now the ash is transported to a landfill or other permanent disposal site, so the ash pond can be reused.
GEI Works provides 40 mil HDPE geosynthetic liners with excellent tensile, seam, and tear strength. These features help prevent any rips or tears in the liner of ash pond, keeping the surrounding soil safe from contamination. Impermeable geotextile pit liners are thermally bonded and tested for seam integrity before installation.
Cooling Ponds – The cooling water system in a power plant generally contains at least one cooling pond. A steam-cycle power plant uses these ponds to remove and dissipate excess heat from the steam circuit. Once the water has cooled to an acceptable temperature, it is once again pumped through the system as a cooling agent.
Cooling ponds need to be lined with a durable impermeable geotextile to prevent heated water from releasing into the environment and upsetting the balance of the nearby ecosystem. Geosynthetic liners from GEI Works have a heat threshold of 180°F, so they can handle water temperatures close to the boiling point. Multiple thicknesses are available for any type of soil and geographic situation around the steam-cycle power plant.
Questions about the cooling water system in a power plant? We can help! Call the GEI Works team at 1-772-646-0597 or fill out our quote request form to discuss your requirements.
Pumped-Storage Reservoirs – A pumped-storage power plant uses water moved between two reservoirs to generate electricity. When electrical use is low, pumps transfer water from the lower pond to the upper reservoir using excess power. During high demand time periods, the stored water rushes through power turbines to the bottom reservoir, creating electricity. The pumped-storage power plant uses the same water each cycle, saving on both fuel and operating costs.
Both the upper and lower pumped-storage ponds require strong geosynthetic liners to ensure proper water storage during and between cycles. The geomembrane liner keeps water secure, stopping any leaks or seepage before they happen, and its strong hydrostatic resistance easily handles water movement. The lifespan of the impermeable geotextile is measured in years, and it's easily repaired in case of a tear or puncture.
Pit Liner Accessories
Oil Spill Containment Valve – When pumping water to and from a reservoir, oil contamination is a possibility. To keep oil from entering a water discharge pipe, GEI offers the oil spill containment valve, which seals the pipe before oil can escape. The only moving part of the valve is a ballasted float working entirely based on the specific gravities of water and oil. As oil gets in the system, The float falls and seals the pipe before any reaches the outlet. The oil spill containment valve and any other pipes are sealed on-site to work in conjunction with geosynthetic liners to secure the reservoir.
Water Baffles – When combustion power stations use ash ponds, regulating even slurry flow into the surface impoundments is critical for maximizing pond space. Water baffles guide the flow throughout the entire ash pond, so all areas receive a similar amount of slurry. More liquid can be processed and contained before needing to be removed for permanent disposal.
See our entire variety of liners on the Secondary Containment Liner page.

Kauai of my Dreams
Dedicated to Greg
Submitted by Val
Walking up to the door of our home-away-from-home for the next 2 weeks, we paused as the noise from the next door condo hit us harder than the welcoming heat had hit us half an hour earlier. Oh no, what had we got ourselves in for. A washer and dryer going, a tv (a tv in paradise?!) and several loud voices washed around us as we fumbled with the key.
We opened the door and were met by a beautifully decorated, spotless, open condo with floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the crashing waves with only a few paces from the lanai to the shore.
Closing the door wrapped us in complete silence, save for the sound of the ocean. We had arrived in heaven. Not once again did we mind the hubbub from next door, because we knew once we stepped into our little piece of paradise, we would be greeted with the sound of the waves and the sight of surfers, turtles, and spouting whales.
Kauai proved to be our favorite island of Hawaii. Whether it was kayaking, hiking, exploring waterfalls or a helicopter ride (look ma, no doors!)the power of Kauai surrounded us like a friendly touch.
Sitting on our lanai with a cool drink and a pair of binoculars, watching the surfers became our favorite pasttime. Often we'd walk on the lava rock below the condo and catch a glimpse of a turtle in the clear, clear water.
After a day of rain, the skies suddenly cleared at midnight, and we ran around the grounds barefoot in the wet grass revelling in the bright stars and black night and fresh breezes.
That last day finally arrives when happy travellers pretend that it's okay to be packing up everything that was only unpacked two weeks ago. And a promise is made to return again to the place in all of Hawaii that feels like paradise and feels like home.

The #1 killer of men and women who have served our nation in combat is the man or woman that many of them see in the mirror. The statistic used to be 18 suicides per day, but some estimate that number to now be as high as 22. Nine good friends and I are running / biking / hiking over 1,000 miles this month for a fundraiser called Run Ranger Run. We're running to raise awareness for these kinds of issues, and because we believe that we're losing our fellow servicemembers - who represent resources and assets to our nation in so many ways - senselessly, and at alarming rates. We're also running to raise money for organizations like GallantFew, Inc. who is battling the issue of veteran suicide head on. If you're able and interested in investing in veterans for a stronger America, please consider a donation at this link: http://www.crowdrise.com/teamrc-runrangerrun-robswartwo/fundraiser/robswartwood. Otherwise, continue to drink your Ranger Coffee and we'll handle the rest. Thanks all.

Everyone knows a good credit score is vital, but how do you get it? The first step is to understand how it's calculated. Five factors impact your credit score, each one in different ways.
First is your payment history and reliability in paying back past debt—both good and bad—over the past 7-10 years.
Second is your account balances showing what you owe in proportion to your overall credit limits.
Third is the length of time you've been using credit. Typically, the longer your credit history, the better your score will be.
Fourth is your credit mix, which demonstrates your flexibility to use different types of credit.
Lastly, the number of times you apply for new credit impacts your credit score. Once you understand how your credit score is calculated, the next step to fixing your credit is getting the right help.
At Lexington Law, we address each factor of your score health as we repair and rebuild credit scores.
First we challenge unverified, inaccurate, or unfair items on your report by sending creditor intervention letters and working directly with credit bureaus.

High res video with perfect framing on tripod shot. Nikki rolls around to provide many great intimate views! Well done.

Try the dhoti!
No, it's not old-fashioned or Indian; the traditional dhoti has evolved into a global style statement, albeit in a new avatar.
Known as the panche in Kannada, mundu in Malayalam and veshti in Tamil, the humble dhoti has evolved into haute couture in leg wear.
A trend now, dhoti pants are loose at the thighs and gradually taper till the ankles whereas harem pants are baggy throughout, except at the hemline.
Across the world
International brands like Yves Identify, Ralph Lauren, DKNY and Jasmine Di Milo have showcased the dhoti pants on the runway.
"The dhoti pants are an Indo-Western wear, popularly known as 'Zouave pants' or 'drop crotch pants' in the west, says Aneesh, who runs Aneesh E.P Design Concepts.
Zouave pants derived their name and style from the French Army's zouave uniform.
It was worn in the 1830s, and included short open-fronted jackets, baggy trousers and often sashes and oriental headgear.
Drop crotch pants, on the other hand, first appeared in the 19th century when Indian men wore light airy cotton pants.
Yul Brynner brought them to the silver screen in the "The King and I" in 1956, but they didn't appear on the fashion scene until Yves Saint Laurent resurrected them in the 1970s.
They were later renamed as 'Hammer pants', when American rapper and actor MC Hammer wore them in the late 1980s.
Why what wear
Play around with this style. Wear it with high heels or wedges and combine with a cashmere silk blend cardigan and cotton puff sleeve top.
Petite women may appear smaller in voluminous dhoti pants. Wear very controlled volume and avoid all mid-calf styles. An ankle length pant my help you appear taller.
Plus size women may wear a dark solid coloured dhoti pant with controlled volume for a slimmer look.
Plain dhoti pants with colourful short kurtas are city favourites — they are traditional and chic, perfect for college wear.
Accessorise with belts that define the waist or pair with gladiators for a retro-chic look. In Indian markets, dhoti pants begin from Rs. 250 to Rs. 350 at local stores and go higher in designer wear malls.
The dhoti trend is a comfy unisex apparel best worn for evening outings.
