Require Sewer Damage Union City Dry Out Support?
Though floodings are probably best known for causing extensive water damage to businesses and homes, they can likewise bring about sewage from sanitary sewer lines to back up into houses by means of drain pipes.
These kinds of backups not only produce damage that is complex and expensive to fix, but also generate health hazards.
The majority of house owner and business insurance coverage policies do not cover sewer back-up except if specific sewer backup protection is put on the policy.
Sewer backup protection is readily obtainable from most insurance firms for a reasonable cost, normally $60 or $70 for an annual insurance plan.
A lot of property owners and businessmen might not understand that they accountable for the routine service and repair of their home or sewer lateral the pipe between the town sanitary sewer main, in general found under the street, and the structure.
The sewer lateral is possesed and managed by the property owner taking into account any region that may extend into the roadway or common right of way. A fractured or deteriorated lateral or one chocked full of tree roots will allow groundwater to seep into the structure, contributing to the likely sewer backup situations.

Common Sources Of Sewer Back-up:
Stoppages Due To Tree Roots: Trees and hedges desiring dampness can easily make their way in to sewer line cracks inflicting sizeable damage. They can start out small, entering a narrow crack inside the pipe; however, as the tree or shrubbery continues to develop, so does it's root. Tree roots can make an entrance the service pipeline at couplings and generate obstructions. These can likewise travel a long way, and roots from various types of trees behave differently.
Should you think that city trees are responsible for sewer line destruction, your plumber can speak with the municipality and portions of the root systems will be used to help distinguish the trees and who exactly is obligated for cleanup. Now and again a blockage is the outcome of a combination of city and personal trees. In this case fees are partitioned between the city and home owner.
Hygienic Main: A obstruction can develop inside of a city sanitary main.
If the obstruction is not spotted in time, sewage from the main can back up into homes and companies thru flooring drains. Usually this occurs little by little, granting the home owner time to get in touch with a trained plumber to analyse the damage. Phone the city public works office and report the problem immediately so that a city operator can investigate if water is entering your basement at a rapid rate.
Water in Basement: Most bsmt water damage is not related to the sanitary sewer system. Thus, water can show up in a cellar that has never before experienced a water issue. Water drainage may be improved by being sure that water drains away from the property.
House owners and company insurance do not cover flood damage: Only flood insurance will cover your losses in the event of a flood. Federal flood insurance policies can be purchased directly from an insurance agent or a company representative, and are available to communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Different Ways to Prevent Backups in Your Lateral and in the City Main
Dispose of Paper Products Appropriately: Paper towels, disposable (and cloth) diapers, and feminine products can result in lots of complications in the property owner's lateral and also in the municipality main for the reason that they do not weaken right away, as toilet tissue does.
Install a Backwater Deterrence Shutoff: A backwater device is a fitting mounted within a sewer line, and in certain cases right into a drainpipe line, in the basement of your house or business to stop sewer line backflows. A carefully installed and maintained backwater control device enables discharge to depart, yet never to get back in. Property owners are liable for the installing and routine maintenance of backwater control devices. The expense to install one is dependent on the kind of plumbing in your house or business and the difficulty of installation. Consult an authorized plumber.
Upgrade Your Line With Brand New Plastic pipe: A particular way to stop tree roots from getting in your line is to change your pipes and valve with brand-new plastic pipe. You may have to have roots cut periodically if you continue to have issues with tree roots growing in your lateral.
Dispose of Grease Suitably: Cooking oil ought to be poured into a heat-resistant container and disposed of appropriately, once it cools down, not in the drainpipe. Pouring grease down the drain with water will bring on major concerns. As the grease cools down, it will most likely solidify either in the drain, the owner's line, or in the main sewer causing the line to constrict and at some point plug.
Wrongful Plumbing Connections: Do not attach French drains, sump pumps and other flood control devices to your sanitary sewer. It is unlawful, and particles and residue may obstruct your pipes. Refer to a local plumber to address any type of not approved connections.

A sewage system backup can lead to disease, destruction of your valuables, damage to your house or business, and can even result in electrical malfunctions. In the event of sewer backup, immediately arrange for the cleanup of your property.

Understand Me?
Posted by somethingcreative777
So, No One, I have a problem. I have zero qualms about sharing pretty much my entire life with you. My thoughts, feelings, creative expressions, misdeeds, misfortunes? You know the biggies.
But today I just turned in a poem that I wrote to my creative writing class for workshop and review and HOLY SHIT I REALLY WISH I DIDN'T BECAUSE I'M NERVOUS AND I DON'T WANT THEM TO THINK I SUCK.
I mean like, I'm baller at poetry. I know I am. I've had like eight or nine poems published already and I'm only 18! But turning a poem in for review by my peers and people way smarter than me has me crippled with fear. I just hope they like it and that they'll help me to get better and they'll understand where I am coming from!
Understanding. I want them to be understanding and helpful. That's it.
-Hope xoxo

Detailed dynamic land cover mapping of Chile: Accuracy improvement by integrating multi-temporal data
Stretching over 4300 km north to south, Chile is a special country with complicated landscapes and rich biodiversity. Accurate and timely updated land cover map of Chile in detailed classification categories is highly demanded for many applications. A conclusive land cover map integrated from multi-seasonal mapping results and a seasonal dynamic map series were produced using Landsat 8 imagery mainly acquired in 2013 and 2014, supplemented by MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index data, high resolution imagery on Google Earth, and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission DEM data. The overall accuracy is 80% for the integrated map at level 1 and 73% for level 2 based on independent validation data. Accuracies for seasonal map series were also assessed, which is around 70% for each season, greatly improved by integrated use of seasonal information. The importance of growing season imagery was proved in our analysis. The analysis of the spatial variation of accuracies among various ecoregions indicates that the accuracy for land cover mapping decreases gradually from central Chile to both north and south. More mapping efforts for those ecoregions are needed. In addition, the training dataset includes sample points spatially distributed in the whole country, temporally distributed throughout the year, and categorically encompassing all land cover types. This training dataset constitutes a universal sample set allowing us to map land cover from any Landsat 8 image acquired in Chile without additional ad hoc training sample collection.

Julian Assange arrest caused 'heavy number of CYBERATTACKS' says Ecuador
CYBERATTACKS on the Ecuadorian government doubled in the wake of WikiLeaks co-founder, Julian Assange's arrest, officials said.
Julian Assange news: Ecuadorian president Lenin Moreno had accused Mr Assange of "spying"
Mr Assange's asylum ended last week after more seven years in the country's London embassy. According to Ecuador's deputy minister for information, communication and technologies, Patricio Real, government institutions saw 40 million cyberattacks following the end of Mr Assange's asylum with the country. Mr Real did not link any particular group to the attacks but listed off several countries including the UK, US, Germany and France.
In a statement, Mr Real said: "During the afternoon of April 11 we jumped from 51st place to 31st place worldwide in terms of the volume of cyberattacks."
Although he did not state who the attackers were, he announced that hacking group Anonymous had made a threat to the country.
The Ecuadorian government confirmed that the foreign ministry, central bank and president's office had been targeted although no material had been ceased.
The cyberattack on the South American country comes as president Lenin Moreno accused Mr Assange of interfering in the "processes of other states" and "spying".

Following Mr Assange's arrest, the Ecuadorian president said: "We cannot allow our house, the house that opened its doors, to become a centre for spying.
"This activity violates asylum conditions. Our decision is not arbitrary but is based on international law."
Mr Moreno also added that the WikiLeaks co-founder had "violated, repeatedly, clear-cut provisions" of diplomatic asylum conventions.
Since 2010, Mr Assange has been under investigation by US authorities following the release of secret documents.

The Australian national took refuge in the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden due to a sexual assault investigation, which has since been dropped and which Mr Assange denies.
The documents released by Mr Assange in 2010 referred to Afghanistan and Iraq war logs.
Following his arrest last week, US prosecutors announced charges against Assange for allegedly conspiring with former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.
They linked the pair to an attempt to gain access to a government computer as part of one of the largest compromises of classified information in US history.

Santa Maria's healthy real estate market encompasses the best of quality and value.

It was about 6:30 on a Thursday, and it felt like most in the city had already left and were on their way home. It was relatively quiet, and the sun was casting a lovely golden light on everyone left in Boston.
The light and shadows created on the buildings and sidewalks was really speaking to me as I walked towards the bus stop. It was dramatic and beautiful. The city streets were so well lit, like a stage for everyone to walk across as we made our way to wherever we were going.
However, most people were busy with something else and totally unaware of the light. I can't blame them though, I've done this many times before too. Luckily, I noticed it today! And I was happy to be in the moment, to turn off the craziness of the day and enjoy this beautiful light in the city.

HIGH FIVE FRIDAY 28 February 2014
CLOUDS 27 February 2014
RECENTLY we made two custom colour CLOUD's for a client. They're going into a restaurant up in Nelspruit. We're waiting on delivery times - there was a delay with their renovations or something. So currently these beauties are sitting in our clean workshop, allowing the scent of the Danish Oil that we use to seal them to dissipate. The colour is Pantone 185 C - a lovely warm red that is just slightly pink. Just gorgeous!
Entry from Antonia:
BOOKS ON SHELVES 26 February 2014
"LAST week Friday (21 Feb) I took friends/family visiting from Zurich off to Tshebidisano Primary (in Pimville, Soweto) to show them the MicroSeed library (and our furniture). The principal Philip is very proud of his school, Pam (the librarian) is fabulous and the kids were AMAZING. Felix & a whole group of kids spent some serious time playing cops & robbers. Pam tells me that there is an event happening soon so we'll be visiting in the near future."
Afterwards we stopped by POST, had a Prego roll, and the POST crew got a pic with their biggest fans.

THREADS 25 February 2014
So, the SMILE is finished. We're delivering it to our client later today. Antonia looked at it and looked at it and after discussion we both agreed it's finished. We think it's one of the nicest we've made.
THREADS 20 February 2014
THIS week we've spent some serious time finishing this SMILE threaded poster for a client. It's not quite finished. Antonia is debating colours. She likes to look at a piece for a bit before she okay's it. Wants to make sure that the lines, the colours, the textures work together. We'll post the final pics when it's done.
Entry from Antonia:
INSPIRATION 19 February 2014
"THANKFULLY I live a life (and in a house) where many things are always on the go, many things getting built, planned, etc. One of these things are the three Honda CB400N & two CB400T bike chassis in the driveway getting stripped and the four Honda engines half way built in the garage. Lets be clear - I am in no way building these bikes - but I am in charge of putting together the colour choices. In the end the guys want a road bike and a tourer (off road) each.
So some online searching later led me to this bike site. It's got some lovely pieces, but the pic below is my favourite. In terms of everything. Colour choice, design, styling, plus how they posed the bike for the shot."
Really cool. Check out: http://www.bikeexif.com/
"While in Cape Town in January I visited the Franschhoek Car Museum. I might have been sore, hungover from a wedding, stiff from too much dancing and suffering from heat stroke (it was so damn hot), but it was amazing. Yes. I love cars. A lot."
Entry from Antonia:
FONT PLAY 12 February 2014
"HAVE some free time. Will play. Hence pics below. The first two pages are throw away - they're what you purge before you start getting anywhere. The third page has the solution on it, the last has the final drawing. Simple, really, for 20 minutes of scribbles."
COLOUR COLOUR COLOUR 12 February 2014
YELLOW cones fresh from the most awesome Powder Coating company, ever. It really is wonderful working with fantastic suppliers. They allow us the luxury of making stuff.
WORKSHOP TIME 10 February 2014
PREP time on the first stage of various products that we make.
Entry from Antonia:
FORM 4 February 2014
"AFTER cleaning the workshop we had a few CLOUDS that had broken in the finishing stage of their making. It's soul destroying when that happens, but even worse when you have to disassemble them. So late yesterday I was looking at them lying in the bonfire pit, these broken things that once were so close to their finished beauty. They looked so forlorn. I don't know what made me break the strips off by hand. Then I went into the workshop, drilled a 11mm hole through the ends. In one go, of course, WHO drills individually if you don't have too, and started playing. This form would be the beginning of an idea. Just the first stage of how we can make this into something new."

Since I was a little girl all I've ever wanted to do was to be a writer. When I got my first book deal I felt unstoppable, completely unaware how much went into being an author that extended far beyond writing. Some projects are more difficult than others to write. Some are written through tears, frustration, exhaustion, and a lot of soul exposure, but I still believe writing is part of the tapestry of my soul.
If you follow me on social media you know that I have a tendency to add more to my plate than I should. It's something that I've done since a child; never wanting to be seen as lazy, I suppose. I've gotten better at boundaries, though, as hard as they are to keep, but knowing all too well it can take a toll.
This week showed me all of life's anger. With a full week of clients and writing deadlines, my dad took a bad fall which landed him in the ICU. A big egg on the back of his head, a concussion, a brain bleed, and a scary couple days, I sat there in the hospital feeling helpless. Dad wasn't allowed to sleep, so he'd fall asleep and the nurse or I would have to wake him. He couldn't eat or drink for fear that he'd have to be rushed into surgery and he told me just to let him die. {He wanted some coffee THAT bad}. We got him home only a day later, but he's to be supervised {by me} because he's light headed and still concussed. Unfortunately he's 80 year old going on 5 years old and doesn't understand {this is typically him and he's bright, just stubborn} why he doesn't just feel better now.
But life doesn't stop. I still have to go to the office, then add on a half a dozen phone calls from him and his physicians in between clients. My husky and kitty got sick. Real sick. I had a sleep study (which means you don't really sleep at all). And those projects that were due? They are still sitting on my desk because I don't trust my capabilities from soul exhaustion. And I have a dozen phone calls from well meaning friends asking me why I'm not calling or texting them back. Friends frustrated that I don't have time to go to lunch with them, and siblings texting me for updates. But I had to keep boundaries, say no, and keep it together.Well meaning people have offered advice from take a vacation to asking why a sibling can't step in to pointing out that it's pouring on me. But a vacation isn't doable with my life. In fact it would make for more work and coming back to more work. And yes, I do know that I've been tried this week, but I also know we all are tried at one point or another. I'm going to pretend that I've got this. And I do. I always have.
So when you see someone looking a bit ragged, going through their rain showers of life, take your umbrella and cover them. I'm grateful for a best friend and husband who stands in the rain with me. We've got this. We always do. Thanks for the love and support, and those who've respected my need for boundaries.
I believe in you.

I love our house. I knew it was meant to be our home the instant I walked in the door. Sure, every room was painted a different, non-complementary color, and it's a pretty compartmentalized layout (true to its 1947 roots), but I could feel that it was the one for us.
Eight years later I still feel that way, and bit by bit we've made it our own. We've renovated a bathroom, added a front porch and a back patio, opened up the main living space, completely overhauled the landscaping, and generally have figured out how to make the small spaces work well for us.
Despite how much sweat equity we've put into the house though, there are some spots that just don't work well. And that's why I need your help.
The kitchen is fairly small, without room for people to hang out in (comfortably, anyway), and is completely cut off from the rest of the main floor. Upstairs, our daughter is in a small, closet-less room, which is fine for now—she's six, she doesn't take up a lot of space—but definitely won't work down the road. Also, the three of us currently share a small (are you sensing a theme here?) bathroom. Again, workable for now, but not great for long-term, and in all honesty, my husband is already craving a little more privacy. But I digress, back to the kitchen.
Because of how much we love our love our house (and how much we've already customized it and how much we love the location), we've opted to renovate instead of move. We're nearing the end of the design process with our architect, we've found our builder, and we're all set to start construction in the spring—so we're well on our way, but still have a lot of important decisions to make.
We're adding a (two-story) 15- by 12-foot addition, so we won't be going from small rooms to enormous ones, we're adding just enough to improve the function of all of them. For example, in the kitchen, we'll gain an entryway, a sitting area, and direct access to our backyard—but not more actual kitchen. Given that it's not a huge increase in square footage (it's the space above the dashed line in the drawing below), I want to make sure that we're making really smart choices to maximize the spaces.
Above you can see the current (not finalized) plans for the renovation. I need help thinking through the eating area and the layout of the kitchen—I'm not entirely sold on the holy trinity of stove, sink, fridge layout as it's shown above. I think the fridge should maybe go where the stove is, with a tall, pantry to the west of it. The stove would then go on the east wall, with some open shelving between the stove and the fridge. And maybe one more window should be added at the end of the countertop? For access to the backyard, I'm also thinking a sliding glass door might be better than one that swings open.
As for the north side of the room, the half wall that you see at the top, across from the closet, I envision looking like this, and for the seating area, I'd like to incorporate bench seating, maybe wraparound seating or a wide daybed. (I'm admittedly, not entirely sure how a wide seating spot would work, I'm partly just dreaming about a space big enough for a catnap in a sunbeam.) Check out my rough edits in the image below where I've mapped those thoughts out.
Flooring will be wood to tie in with the rest of the house, but countertops and cabinets are fair game for flooding me with opinions. (Thoughts on both what to use and what not to use welcome!) I only have a few guiding principles: I want it to feel cozy, warm, and welcoming, not sterile, and I want to respect the age of the house. On that last point, that doesn't mean I'm putting in retro appliances, but I don't want anything starkly out of place—so a completely sleek, modern kitchen is a no-go.
Oh, and just in case it impacts your advice in any way, we won't be living in our house during construction, so we won't need to set up a temporary kitchen.
So, what do think? Fill me in on all of your suggestions below and I'll share my learnings at a later date.

Abstract acrylic painting on canvas
16" x 20" x 0.7" (41 x 51 x 1.8cm approx)
This is a painting about our fragile planet.
This work comes unframed so the buyer can choose a frame suitable for their scheme. I have continued the painting around the edges so It actually looks quite good unframed too although this is not a gallery wrap canvas.
Painted with good quality Winsor and Newton acrylic paints.
I have done my best to match the digital colours with the colours of the actual work but as always, colours may differ a little from screen to screen and therefore may be slightly different in real life viewing.
Please note the size of the painting before purchase thank you.
If you are from outside of the UK and are interested in my work please contact me directly through the 'contact' page on this site (or at email@example.com). I should be able to offer postage to most places in the world and will reply as soon as possible to answer any queries you may have.

While I was working at ACECQA I had the privilege of developing articles for the National Education Leader. Agency is so difficult to explain to families, especially that need for children to learn through play rather than be pushed to early academics, the too much too soon school of thought that research supports. Here is one on Agency from the ACECQA website you might enjoy.
The Early Years Learning Framework and the Framework for School Age Care define children's agency as 'being able to make choices and decisions, to influence events and to have an impact on one's world'. So what does agency mean for children who attend early childhood services?
Children's agency is based on the idea that all children are capable of making choices and decisions; can initiate and lead their own learning; have a right to participate in decisions that affect them.
In promoting agency, educators enable children with real choices and support them to make decisions about how they participate. Children's participation is encouraged by shared understandings and collaboration between adults and children.
For educators to support agency they must be aware of the capabilities and interests of the children they work with. Children are competent, capable learners when they are fully engaged and supported to participate in meaningful learning experiences that follow their interests. These experiences can be planned or spontaneous.
Educators can design open-ended learning environments with children, setting up activities of interest together and sharing the outcomes from these activities. This can be as simple as providing a range of materials for children to use as they choose. For toddlers, as they move towards independence, educators can support agency by offering them real choices in activities and routines. For example, toddlers can participate in preparing and serving morning tea to themselves and others.
Under the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child, children have a right to be active participants in all matters affecting their lives. Children with agency develop strong dispositions for learning. They are more confident in making decisions about their learning; able to work successfully with other children in a variety of situations; able to persist when there are challenges; able to communicate their ideas with adults and their peers.
Children actively explore and make sense of their world from birth. By 'viewing children as active participants and decision makers opens up possibilities ... to move beyond pre-conceived expectations about what children can do and learn' (EYLF p9).
Reflecting on your practice, how do educators at your service:
encourage children's agency through meaningful interactions?
include children's perspectives?
work with children as co-constructors of curriculum?

Written by Elisabeth Jordan
There is a common misperception that some people are homeless "because they want to be." When people think this, it's often because they've had a conversation with someone who is homeless in which that person has said, "I want to be out here. It's my choice."
It can be easy to accept this as fact because to most people who are not homeless, it's hard to imagine ourselves in that position. And we have an even harder time imagining settling into homelessness if we ever, somehow, ended up in that place.
In our work on the streets over the past five years, what we have found is different: at the heart of it, people do not want to be homeless, even if they might say they do. People want to be off of the streets, have their own place, and sleep in their own bed. Most people want to hold a job, make their own money, and have the chance to support themselves. The nuance is this: a person might not yet be ready to take the steps necessary to leave their homelessness behind. They also may not have the support necessary to do so.
When a person becomes homeless, a lot has been lost: some combination of job, home, and support system can leave a person feeling helpless and lonely. On top of that, the myriad steps necessary to leave their current situation can encumber even the most eager person. And so many are left to navigate the system of homeless care alone. Though they may have the support of a shelter or a case manager, they are on their own for many pieces of the puzzle, from getting an ID to finding transportation, from dealing with health issues to sitting outside daily waiting for the shelter to open. And each person is without the comfort and stability of home: a refuge at the end of each long day. Home is often a place to recharge for another day, to set the mind straight and center on what needs to be accomplished. Often in these group shelter settings, getting good sleep is difficult, so you often add in interrupted sleep. There is also constant noise, and you are never alone. If the person stays outside, there are the elements to deal with day in and day out and the question of where each meal will come from.
It becomes easier to imagine why someone facing all of these obstacles might say they want to remain homeless. Depression and anxiety can accompany these situations and further exacerbate the pains of homelessness.
In our work, we no longer hear people say, "I want to be homeless," or if we do, we ask questions that draw out the obstacles that prevent someone from imagining a different life. This is one reason we are on the streets week in and week out: so that someone who has lost an imagination for a different life might come, over time, to understand they wouldn't have to walk the path alone. Each person we care for gets a group of supportive people who continue to remind them that they are worthy, a beloved child of God, and that there is another way. Over time, we have learned that we are not just fighting the homelessness of the individual but the culture of homelessness into which some people have become embedded. For this we ask your prayers, that God would do for some of our friends who are not yet willing what we cannot do for them: give them a new heart, a heart that dares a little hope.

With four straight missed cuts entering the AT&T Byron Nelson, no one thought Billy Horschel would get the job done in Dallas. No one, apparently, except for his caddie Josh Cassell.
Horschel gave credit where it was due during his post-victory press conference Sunday night, recalling what Cassell told him last week.
"Even though I missed the cut, I felt like my game turned the corner and my caddy Josh Cassel walked down 17 last week and just said, he saw something in my game," Horschel said. "'You know what, we're going to go next week to Dallas, to the Byron Nelson and we're going to win.'"
That's exactly what they did as Horschel topped Jason Day in a one-hole playoff Sunday evening for his first victory on Tour since the 2014 Tour Championship. Only one question remains: does Cassell get an extra winning bonus for calling his shot?

We're excited to announce Lemonade Summer by Gabi Mendez, an all-ages collection of comic stories about acceptance and friendship.
Kickstarter launches March 1
In the summer of our dreams, young pirate runaways learn to accept each other regardless of gender presentation. The new girl in town finds solidarity in female friendship. A roller derby unexpectedly lights the spark of a first-time crush. Friends find confidence in their own voice, and teens face the uncertainty of growing up.
"There are stories about kids and growing up, and there are stories about the LGBT experience; but the two don't often intersect in a positive way. LGBT issues aren't just adult issues! My stories are for all ages: positive stories of kids and young adults navigating life and helping each other while not ignoring their identities as transgender, bisexual, non-binary, lesbian, and more."
- Gabi Mendez
Lemonade Summer opens with "Strays", a kid-friendly introduction to non-binary gender expression and inclusivity. "Witching Hour" forces two estranged friends to face up to their inner demons. "Sk8r Girl" just makes us blush and "Ro & Ella," is about the pre-teen struggle to make friends. "Treasure Hunting" follows two teenagers dealing with the looming future and "Aventurera" takes us on a road trip. Ending with "Dawning" as our characters go off to college, this story reflects the fear of new situations and hoping to find a supportive, inclusive community.
Kickstarter for Lemonade Summer launches March 1.
Help us bring this book to life and get it into schools, libraries, LGBTQ spaces and youth centers! Reward tiers will include postcards, prints, original art, a work-in-progress booklet, extra stories and more.
GABI MENDEZ is a Latinx artist, bouncing between living in the West Coast and art-making in Savannah, GA. Her work tends to be about friendship, misadventures, and the absurd experience of growing up. She makes a lot of silly comics, says "dude" too much, and just wants everyone to feel included.
