The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has slightly adjusted the rule of voting in the Bayelsa governorship election rerun, scheduled to hold today in Southern Ijaw and six other local government areas of the state.
The Commission said all the parties had given their consent to the revised guidelines, which it believes would help to fast-track the exercise today, January 9.
According to the new rule, accreditation and voting will go on simultaneously while ad-hoc officials, observers and journalists are to be given life jackets because of the terrain.

According to INEC, the polling units will open by 8:00am, with a plan to close voting by 2:00 pm local time.
Security has also been beefed up with the police deploying more officials in the state.

We all know that pictures are worth a thousand words. That statement is even more important when you are selling products or services online.
Online surveys have revealed that the product images are an important factor that contributes to greater sales when people make online purchases. Higher quality images and better product angels lead to an increase in sales.
Since the products we see online are intangible to us, the only way we can assess a product is through the images. That is the reason a lot of e-commerce stores have a standardized guideline for image quality.
Anybody who has done product photography knows that your image is not upload ready the moment you capture it. The image has to go through a lot of editing and processing before it can be uploaded online. This process is time-consuming and also requires a lot of skill.
If you are someone who is looking for a professional service that will handle the hassle of processing and editing images for you then look no further
Our team of experts is skilled in a lot of different image editing tools and programs which allows them to deliver the best image output for your product images. We have also worked in different industries like apparels, jewelry, automobiles, furniture, food, real estate, fashion and many more. We make sure that your product images are as close to perfection as possible and help you to increase your online sales by displaying the best image output possible.

Will IBM Buy Zend / PHP ?
Which begs the question - Who will acquire Zend?
In my view, there can only be one company and that company is IBM. Let me explain by first eliminating the other potential suitors.
Sun has already spent its cash on MySQL (the 'M' in the LAMP stack) shelling out $1 billion. Most MySQL databases that I've ever seen or touched were connected by PHP in some way so it might make sense for Sun, but for the fact that they have Java. Though Sun has said they're not out to replace the LAMP stack, considering the have Java and Solaris, I'm somewhat skeptical.
Which leads us to Big Blue -- IBM.
QED Wiki, Project Zero (now a Websphere product) and some interesting mashup technologies at IBM all utilize Zend developed or led technologies. IBM is a strong contributor to the Zend Framework (which might be considered an alternative to .NET and JavaEE). From my own limited experience at events where both IBM and Zend executives were speaking, there is a very cordial working relationship between the two firms.
Zend would give IBM its own language play, something with which to counter Sun's Java, offer a complement for IBM's existing Websphere developments as well as providing IBM with a strategic services differentiator versus HP (and its EDS division). PHP is a competitive technology to Java and the simple logic that I have would seem to imply that Zend would be a strategic buy for IBM.
Considering that Zend is currently a privately held company it's difficult to guess what their cash flow might be and what they might be worth. The ridiculous price that Sun paid for MySQL has also no doubt inflated expectations which might make a deal difficult to achieve -- after all it's quite likely that there are at least as many PHP deployments as there are MySQL deployments.
I don't think that IBM will pay $1 billion for Zend, but I do think that eventually they will find the price that is right.

Cold breezes and moisture can damage some components of your home, including your furnace, which is meant to be your defense against the cold. There are a few important tasks you can do to protect your furnace from breakdown or running inefficiently. You can hire professional heating services in Milton, GA, to address these concerns, or get to work on them yourself. In order to be winter-ready, be sure to perform the following checks and tune-ups on your heating system:

Join Dennis Taylor for an in-depth discussion in this video Understanding how Excel records and stores times, part of Working with Dates and Times in Excel 2007.
In column D, an important piece of information in this worksheet is the Time…recorded for the various sales that have been made. Perhaps some analysis is…going to be done based on which times of day…the greatest sales were recorded at.…So, when we make an entry of a time, it's similar to what we do with dates in Excel.…Excel actually stores a value.…The unit of measure in Excel for dates and times is 1 equals a day.…If I put in, for example, a time, 4:30, that actually represents a portion of the…day. Now it's about 4/24th.…
It's about a sixth of the day.…We're not thinking of that when we make data entries, but a real value is being…stored here, and it's a portion of the day.…We can quickly see what this value is - although we don't really need to do this…very often - by clicking the comma button. That's one fast way to do this.…That's 0.19 of the day, and just for the moment here, as I press Ctrl+Z to undo,…you could experiment with this a little bit…to get a sense of it yourself.…You could imagine that 6 AM is a quarter of the day.…

Since our path was quite long, we went on the freeway with our capsule bikes. When I was driving that vehicle, I felt like an important guy. The neighborhood where painter C.'s house was located was a region of the city famous for its community problems.
When we approached painter C's house, in contrast to what we were told, I had the impression that we were passing through an ordinary neighborhood where children played loudly. If the place where the navigation software point was correct, C.'s house was a one-story building in the garden. Under the curious gaze of the neighborhood's children, we descended from our bikes; Peri opened the garden door. We walked through the small garden and hit the button in the Big C letter next to the door. We waited for a long time and didn't see any movement at the door, I pressed the button longer and more insistently, and Peri sent a message to C.. The door opened just as we were about to give up hope. We had a half-bold long-haired old man standing in front of us.
"You honor my poorhouse," he said like the waiter who welcomes his customers to the restaurant. C. had a white T-shirt and a capri pants, showing the lines of his body despite his advanced age. The room we entered was merely furnished, except for two Berjer seats, a coffee table, and a full-length mirror.
"Come in the seats, I sit here," he said, pointing out the cushion that he pulled out of the back of the tall mirror. "I'm dived so deep to the yoga session that I didn't hear you coming. I did not reject your request for a meeting because the beautiful lady mentioned that you are a friend of my friend Selim Özben. Normally I'm not seeing members of the press,"
I tried to say, "we're not members of the press, we are investigating Selim Özben's disappearance..."
"I know, man, that's what I said. My age has progressed so far that I have become a full-fledged old man; for 50 years I have been engaged in art, I can immediately understand people's wishes and intentions without any need for words. For example, the beautiful lady has a very calm spirit. I've never seen anyone so peaceful like her before. A Mediterranean stillness, like the blue of her eyes, has surrendered her soul. You seem to have a deep wound, a great problem that even you don't know. If I'm babbling, excuse this old boy, but I liked you."
Since I saw the C.'s potential of extending the word and diverting the subject, I went directly to the issue: "When was the last time you saw Selim Özben?"
"I don't remember the date clearly, but it's been at least two years. My brother Selim was born with a darkness in his heart like me, so I had a good deal with him. The deceased mother of Selim, Sedef Özben was a close friend. Like the magician taking a rabbit out of a hat, he took a lot of sad stories out of the darkness of his heart. We didn't see each other very often because we were busy, maybe once a year, maybe a little more often. When the last time he came, we walked together to the heart of the neighborhood where the people was most vulnerable. It's a special area behind my house where gangs are fighting with each other to dominate, and you can find all kinds of drugs. Critics would be able to interpret my paintings better if they knew that the traces of crime, passion, drugs, and dreams of all kinds had leaked through the canvas from the wall of my studio. Even though the idiot critics haven't noticed for years, these are people that feed me, that makes the darkness in my soul warm up and revive and become fertile. After midnight, we walked through empty streets to the heart of the region with no one but cats and mice were present as Selim needed a stressful environment due to his profession. The poor young boys of the neighborhood had warned us not to come to that neighborhood again after they beat us and got our money. I looked at my Selim brother's face when they left us by kicking. There was no sign of remorse on his face. I'm not mad at those kids. I'm angry at this brutal order that condemns them to those isolated neighborhoods, narrow houses, unemployment, and misery. It is a great fool to expect children you don't tame with your love, to become a decent citizen when they grow up. In fact, the capitalists and their servants must know that it is foolish to wait for a return without any investment. It's like hoping to get a big bonus without a lottery ticket. My dear friends, you have to get angry with the masters of the order, who unite their will with the coldness of the machines and besiege weak people like us."
"Did you know Selim Özben disappeared about a month ago?" I asked.
"I've heard that wild capitalists, unworthy demons who value nothing but money have kidnapped him. I think we artists are the ones who remind people that they are vulnerable, weak, or somehow infinitely powerful. Art is significant in revealing people's great feelings, and those who worshiped power and money are the greatest enemies of noble feelings". He was quiet for a moment, and then he hurried up and said, "Please let me prepare you a lemonade with fresh lemons, the fruit of the lemon tree from his poor garden, and the mint he collected with his own hands this morning." Then he went to the kitchen.
We looked at each other smiling. "He speaks fluently," I said.
"Funny guy," said Peri.
C. came out with two big glasses of lemonade with orange pipes in them. When drinking our lemonade, he told us about the dignity of the people in his neighborhood, his appreciation and how the order victimized them. "I don't want you to leave before you see my workshop."
"Of course, we would love to," said Peri.
C.'s workshop was a dim room with no window opening out. The lamp on the corner almost illuminates itself. There was no canvas, no paint, just a large chair in front of the wall that looked like an electric chair.
"You'il understand the system better after I open my canvas." A window-size area on the wall came forward with the sign of 'C,' the canvas looked like a big TV screen. At the bottom of the screen, there were hundreds of small squares representing different shades of color.
"I'd love to see you painting," said Peri.
"I can start my painting session today when you're here if you like, but once I start, I focus so much on my work that I don't get a chance to say goodbye, "said C.
"We know the way," said Peri.
C. settled in the electric chair like an admiral sat in the control seat of the mother ship of Armada, took a long pencil-like brush in his hand and touched the screen as soon as the lights emitted from the screen illuminated him. He was working on a painting containing surreal figures, which seemed to remain unfinished from the previous days. The electric chair raised up and down and left to the right as he worked. He seemed to have been integrated with the virtual canvas.

Thus, the last meal for this trip to complete the taste of Bandung is in Batagor Riri. Batagor is a contraction of bakso tahu goreng, fried meatballs and tofu, only the meatballs are made of fish and both are dipped in batter before fried. No trip to Bandung is complete without a taste of the famous Batagor, and the ones at Riri's is thought to be one of if not the best. The secret of Riri's Batagor is its spicy peanut sauce, it's very pungent and serves as an excellent base for sate dishes. Add a few ounces of lime juice, and kecap manis to your liking, slice your Batagor, slather it with sauce and you're all set. People seem to eat more sauce than they do the Batagor itself.

The next place that you could visit is the in-house restaurant in Rumah Mode, one of Bandung's more popular factory outlets where people get to shop for export overruns of branded Western clothes at cheap prices. This is the story of Bandung, an economy revitalized by Western rejects as factory outlets have attracted a swarm of local and foreign tourists. You could so order ayam bakar in Rumah Mode. It definitely wasn't comparable to Sariwangi's but it was hearty and tasteful just the same. Maybe after hours of shopping, you should have a lunch on the veranda of the Cascade Factory Outlet which housed Dego Ramen. At there you could order Chicken Katsudon Noodle. It perhaps taste strange at first as the broth of the soup was altered by the addition of a kind of mushroom you have not seen before. But after a little getting used to, the soup did leave a pleasantly light aftertaste.

15th Annual MultiCultural Celebration in Shasta Lake
● By Katie Weatherly
Celebrating Diversity
January 2018
By Katie Weatherly
For the past 15 years, the North State has hosted a multicultural celebration at Central Valley High School. As the years have passed, this celebration of diversity has continued to expand and has become an integral part of the area.
This year, the committee wanted to do something special for those who continue to participate annually, according to committee members Don Yost and Lee Macey. Thinking it would be fun to bring in past performers for the 15th celebration, efforts were made to reach out to previous performers, only to find that the children contacted were now away at college, Yost says. After that discovery, the committee decided on a different highlight for the celebration. "This year, we'll give everybody a rest and give a free community concert," Macey says.
As a special part of the 2018 multicultural celebration, Shasta County will welcome the Matsiko World Orphan Choir. Founded in 2008, the choir features 21 children from Liberia, India and Peru. Macey and Yost say previous performances by the Matsiko Orphan Choir have been energetic, engaging and fun.
Originally, the choir's children were from Peru and Liberia. In 2017, children from India were given the opportunity to join in. The choir allows the children to share songs and dances from their various traditional cultures, a unique characteristic that makes the choir the perfect addition to the multitude of performances typical of the multicultural celebration. "They all bring so much to the table and bring so much culture to Shasta County," Yost says. "There is more diversity than meets the eye."
The popular annual event was sparked in March 2003 when the Mien community wanted to thank the Shasta Lake City community for welcoming them. In turn, the Shasta Lake City community wanted to share cultures with the Mien community. A committee of residents and organizations within the city and the Gateway Unified School District convened to plan an annual celebration of cultures. The school district has been the event's major support and sponsor
since its inception.
The tradition seeks to promote cultural recognition and respect, and the celebration traditionally begins with a grand entrance of flags from various countries. "We try to have exchange students from local high schools carrying in their country's flags," Yost says.
Aside from the choir, the event features local representations of different cultures present in the area, including Hispanic dancers, Sikh martial arts and Native American performances, among others. And although the event continues to grow, there is no admission charge for attendance, though donations are accepted. "We get support from local businesses," Macey says.
On top of all that, a luncheon is provided and all are welcome.

20 Greatest Metal Albums Since 2000
True Genius Lies Within
4. Tool – Lateralus (2001)
Tool, a band that rose from the ashes of Grunge, dallied with Nu-Metal during its infancy, and cut a swathe through mainstream Metal with unique, innovative Progressive Metal, don't release many albums but when they are as accomplished as Lateralus who really cares?
There are too few superlatives to convey the genius at work here, each track flows into the other weaving a sonic tapestry that rivals the likes of King Crimson and Pink Floyd but updated for a modern audience.
Tool's use of complex poly-rhythms, ingenious instrumental experimentation and their revered elasticity as a band with ever-evolving ideals mark them out as pioneers and Lateralus is a pioneering album which rewards the more it is listened to.
"The Grudge", "Parabola", "Schism" and "Ticks And Leeches" are highlights but again this albums demands to be consumed whole, each track elevated by the other when listened to in context.
As and when Tool decide to grace us with a new album is anybody's guess but for now Lateralus is the Tool album which requires your immediate and unfettered attention.
To paraphrase a lyric from "Ticks And Leeches", 'is this what we wanted'? Yes, yes it was what we wanted.

"A happy baby has shining eyes. It walks open hearted into this world and spreads magic." ~ author unknown
The original plan was to photograph this little guy a few months ago with the "Cherry Blossoms" .. but it didn't work out. I truly believe things have a funny way of working out. The universe didn't want us to photograph this little angel because look at the amazing photographs we got for his first birthday session.
My sister called me and wanted to schedule a photo session for her step grand-baby. Knowing that Tanya is very artistic (it runs in the family) I knew the session was going to be an amazing themed session with props that she brought from her home.
And I was not disappointed … Thanks for choreographing little baby "D" first year session Tanya .. and it was soooo nice meeting him Mommy Christina <3 I can see how he looks a little bit like mommy too .. but he looks mostly like his little uncle "G".
We also took the opportunity to do a little "Cake Smash" session on the beach along with all the other cute props we had.
I can't express how much I LOVE photographing babies .. they bring me so much joy. They are so innocent and full of magic.
Here is a look at what we came up with.
Take care,

Hear what our lovely patients say about their cosmetic treatment with our award winning team.
If your eyes are the window to your soul, your smile is definitely the door to your success. A brighter, whiter smile, can make you look and feel healthier, younger and more confident. Teeth naturally discolour with age and day to day habits, such as drinking tea, coffee, red wine and smoking. Although brushing and regular hygiene visits can help in the removal of some of these stains, teeth whitening can be a fantastic adjunct to restore your teeth's natural colour and improve upon it.
We offer the best home whitening and chair side professional systems which achieves a great results instantly. We use the latest 'Zoom' laser whitening alongside bespoke home whitening trays or alternatively the much acclaimed Enlighten Whitening system. We believe this to be the quickest yet most safe and effective way to achieve desired results.
The benefits to using our clinic is that you get a deep long lasting whitening effect, using a clinically proven procedure that has been tried and tested over the years. The process will be performed by our expert whitening dentists at Chelsea and Fulham Dentist. They will oversee the entire procedure to ensure the perfect outcome. We will also give you a complimentary review one month later to ensure you are happy with the results.
With so many different whitening products on the market, it's easy to get confused. So here are the facts you need to know before you commit.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Clinical studies have shown that whitening your teeth with carbamide or hydrogen peroxide under the supervision of a dental professional is safe for teeth and gums.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effect is tooth and gum sensitivity. We will ensure we give you the right concentration of whitening formula. Our at-home whitening products have been carefully selected to minimize tooth sensitivity.
What's the difference between over the counter whitening solutions and our whitening treatments?
Over-the-counter whitening products are not customized to your needs, are ineffective and do not last – clinical studies have proved this. With our professional whitening systems, the whitening process is tailored to your needs by your dentist, with custom-fitted trays for at-home treatments or just the right light intensity and duration with our zoom laser.
How long will my whitening results last?
Whitening treatments help to reduce existing stains, but through consumption of coffee, soft drinks or just through natural aging, your teeth may eventually become discolored again. Maintenance whitening can help combat recurring discolouration.
What causes teeth to discolour?
There are many causes to tooth discoloration. Some of the most common include the consumption highly colored foods and drinks (berries, coffee, tea, red wine). Some medications, aging, smoking and trauma can also cause teeth discoloration.
How long does it take?
Your teeth will be visibly whiter in one day. With Zoom in-office, you will achieve that instant gratification and get up to eight shades whiter in 1 hour. With Enlighten, the guaranteed results of whitening will be visible soon after your review session with us.

Handling the New Norwalk Radon Mitigation Regulations
With all of the recent requirements from HUD to have Norwalk radon mitigation in multi-family homes that are financed through HUD which have high levels of radon gas, what type of precautions are you taking? Many landlords may be confused by the new requirements and what is necessary, so S.W.A.T. Environmental is here to help clear everything up.
If you own a multi-family home in Norwalk, CT, or any other area of the United States, it is now a requirement that your multi-family home is tested for radon gas if it is receiving funding from HUD. The testing aspect is so important as this gas cannot be seen or smelled. Having a test provides you with the specific knowledge of whether or not your multi-family home is in danger, and whether or not a radon mitigation system is necessary. It is important to know that all units of the multi-family home must be tested, and a radon mitigation system must be installed on each unit with high levels of radon gas.
The importance of hiring a specialist is overwhelming. With Norwalk radon mitigation, it is important to have a professional. A properly trained specialist may reduce the levels of radon by as much as 99%. If you do not hire a professional, you may be subject to little or no changes in your radon level.
Our professionals are all certified for Norwalk radon mitigation, and have the years of experience to properly remove any radon gas from your home. S.W.A.T. Environmental specializes in the least invasive procedures, meaning that your new air purification system will hardly be noticeable. We are local to the Norwalk, CT area and familiar with all of the proper methods for the specific area. Remember that if your Norwalk multi-family home financed through HUD has high levels of radon gas, then it is required that you have a mitigation system installed.
Installing a Norwalk Radon Mitigation System
The importance of having your Norwalk radon mitigation system installed is obvious. Without this equipment installed, not only are you placing tenants in harms way, but you are violating the policy of HUD. It is known that radon gas kills over 20,000 people each year, making it very dangerous. The health impacts are not seen immediately, but that does not mean that they are not there.
Take the initiative and improve the safety of your Norwalk multi-family home. Norwalk radon mitigation can help bring your home safety up to par. Protect your investment, and follow the HUD regulations. Ensure that the work is of quality by hiring S.W.A.T. Environmental. With decades in the radon business, and local to Norwalk, we will be able to come up with a custom solution for your home. Let us handle your radon problem, and install the Norwalk radon mitigation system that your multi-family home is in dire need of.

Radon Lung Cancer in Norwalk, CT
Norwalk, CT residents should be aware of the recent changes to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's policies. Overall, these changes will greatly benefit tenants of multifamily homes by providing regulation of improved air quality. If you live or rent a space in a multifamily home, most likely you know the difficulties of getting a landlord to go above and beyond the call of duty to provide you with amenities that are not specifically stated in a lease agreement. With growing health concerns with radon gas, HUD has realized the importance of testing, and mitigation systems and their importance to safety and reduce radon lung cancer.
HUD is a single piece in a group of organizations dedicated to improve the quality of home safety and reducing radon lung cancer in Norwalk, and throughout the nation. This group is known as the Federal Healthy Homes Work Group. The group is made up of the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Department of Energy, and of course HUD. The American Lung Association has praised HUD for taking a stand at improving the health of tenants in Norwalk, CT, and across the nation.
The new standard is that all multifamily homes financed through HUD will be required to have a radon test. Homes that test positively for radon gas will be required to have a mitigation system installed. This is a great step forward for safety in Norwalk, as radon gas is a common killer. The American Lung Association could not be happier as not only is radon gas the second leading cause of lung cancer, but mitigation systems may also help reduce other lung ailments by reducing moisture and ventilation.
Where Radon Lung Cancer Sources
Radon gas is a naturally occurring gas found in the soil beneath homes in Norwalk, CT. The gas is formed from natural uranium breaking down and giving off radon as a byproduct. As the gas forms, it may seep through foundations, or into water supplies, and cause great damage on the health of those in the home. The gas is known to kill 21,000 people each year, making it one of the most concerning items for the American Lung Association, and organizations geared toward cancer prevention. Regardless of how radon gas may enter your home, Norwalk residents need to be informed, and remove it as quickly as possible.
With the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development taking a step forward and requiring testing and mitigation on multifamily homes, we are sure to see a major reduction on the number of cases of radon lung cancer, and an overall improvement in the health of many. Norwalk residents should be excited of the news as well, as sections of Connecticut, such as Norwalk, are known to have higher concentrations of radon gas than the rest of the nation. Take care of your health, and make sure your landlord tests for radon gas in Norwalk, CT.
The Need for Radon Mitigation in Schools in Norwalk
Recent tragedies have opened up America's eyes about safety and concern in regard to our public school system. Norwalk, CT residents realize how close to home some of these tragedies are, and we are all deeply saddened. When it comes to the safety and health of our children, and so many whom are involved in the education system, we need to do all that we can to ensure that everyone is in a safe learning environment.
Radon mitigation in schools is the next step in preventing students, teachers, and faculty in the Norwalk, CT school system from being diagnosed with lung cancer. More than one out of seven cases of lung cancer are due to radon gas, equating to more than 20,000 deaths per year because of radon gas. Now is the time in which we can all step up, and ensure that our children are safe with radon mitigation in schools.
Why Radon Mitigation in Schools
Radon affects about one in every five schools. This is higher in contrast to radon affecting one in every fifteen homes. Norwalk residents should still be concerned about radon in their home, as even though the probability is slightly lower, the danger of radon gas is so great. More than 70,000 schools have at least one classroom with high levels of radon gas, which is simply not acceptable.
Radon forms from the uranium which is naturally occurring in soil. As uranium breaks down, radon gas is formed. As one of the most dense gases, radon is hard to destroy, and may enter through the smallest of spaces, such as your foundation. Once radon has entered a school building in Norwalk, it can only increase in concentration as it builds up, and more and more radon gas enters.
Radon mitigation in schools in Norwalk, CT would help us reduce the amounts of radon gas in schools, and help us ensure that our schools are safe learning environments for all children. In addition to so many young people, you have to take into account all of the teachers and faculty which are affected by this awful gas on a daily basis. Teachers are forced to inhale this gas everyday if their school has high levels of radon gas, and no action is taken.
Currently, a bill is being proposed which could change all of this. This bill is proposing radon mitigation in schools. This would work by having grant funded radon testing, and those schools with high levels of radon would receive further grant funding. This further grant funding would go towards radon mitigation in schools in Norwalk, and nationwide. This would provide the safety our schools need without having to sacrifice valuable funding which goes toward educating our future leaders. Voice your concerns about radon mitigation in schools by contacting your local politician and help garner their support for radon mitigation in schools.
Norwalk, CT Focuses on Radon Action Month
Radon action month is quickly approaching, and we are asking all residents of Norwalk to prepare as soon as possible. Knowing your plan of action which you plan to take against the deadly radon gas is half the battle. In order to fully understand radon gas, education is the key. One simple act you may do during the month of January is furthering your education, and just becoming aware of some of the statistics associated with radon gas.
Did you know that roughly one out of every fifteen homes are affected adversely by high levels of radon gas? This means that there is a good chance that your Norwalk home is affected, and in need of mitigation treatment. Radon action month is the perfect time to have a professional install a mitigation system, or even simply have your home tested, but whatever you do, make sure you take action.
Action in Norwalk during Radon Action Month
During the month of January there are many things that you can do to help prevent deaths of lung cancer. The first thing you may decide to do is test your Norwalk home. This gas is both odorless and colorless, meaning the only way that you will be able to determine whether or not you are being affected is through radon testing. Once you have a professional test your home, you will have a much better idea as to the scope of danger. If your levels are low or normal, now further action is required. However, if your levels are above normal, you may be in need of mitigation as soon as possible.
Radon action month may be used to install the much needed mitigation system as well. Because radon is so deadly, a mitigation system is an investment in your health. You do not want you or your close family members to be struck down by lung cancer simply because you did not take the appropriate action for your Norwalk home. Radon action month is the perfect time to stop talking, and pick up the phone to call a representative at S.W.A.T. Environmental. They can answer any questions you may have, and even provide you with a quote for free.
Radon action month is also a time in which many take to the streets to support advocacy of radon awareness. As more people die each year from radon than drunk driving, it is obvious that more attention needs to be brought to this subject. If your Norwalk home has high levels of radon, there is a good chance that your neighbor's home may have high levels as well. Simply informing your neighbor about the facts could be a huge difference. Do not let someone who may have radon gas go without knowing all of its dangers. No matter what you do, be sure to take action in Norwalk during radon action month.
Norwalk Residents Face Rising Risk of Lung Cancer
We often assume that if we do not smoke, then we will not have to face the risk of lung cancer. This is becoming to be more and more of a false statement as new studies show a heavy link to radon gas, and lung cancer. Whether or not you have smoked in your entire life, radon gas is wrecking havoc on the health of many in Norwalk. It is a true tragedy to take such good care of your body for your entire life, and then only to find that you are diagnosed with the same lung cancer as those who may have smoked so many cigarettes.
Imagine this scenario as well. What if someone you know who smokes tons of cigarettes never gets lung cancer, and a nonsmoker is diagnosed? So how does all of this work, and where is the research backing this possibility? Studies have found that approximately 16% of all lung cancer cases are caused by radon gas. Although research has also confirmed the link of radon gas and lung cancer, it may be easy to think of it this way: Radon gas is radioactive, and we know that radiation causes cancer, therefore radon gas causes cancer.
Radon Gas Mitigation in Norwalk
The choice is simple for you and your family. You may put yourself and your family in harms' way at the risk of lung cancer, or you may seek a professional to provide radon gas mitigation on your Norwalk home to dramatically reduce the levels, and make your home a place where guests are welcome again. Radon gas is colorless and odorless meaning that there is no way to know that your Norwalk, Connecticut home may be infested with this cancer causing gas.
Roughly 20,000 people die each year because of radon gas, meaning that radon gas mitigation is extremely important for the health of you and everyone else in your Norwalk home. The radon gas often forms in the soil beneath your home, and makes it way inside through the foundation. Working like a vacuum, the concentration of radon gas may reach extreme levels. Can you imagine living in a home that gives off massive amounts of radiation? Without radon gas mitigation, that is essentially what you could be doing to your body.
S.W.A.T. Environmental has the proven techniques, and technology to reduce the levels of radon gas in your Norwalk home by as much as 99%. Having S.W.A.T. Environmental test your home for radon gas will give you a quick and accurate result to know just how dangerous your Norwalk home may be. If the levels are dangerous, a radon gas mitigation system may be necessary. Do not become a statistic, or a nonsmoker who is diagnosed with lung cancer. Be proactive of your life and lifestyle by having a professional remove this radioactive gas from your home.
Air Quality in Norwalk, CT
Air quality is a major concern for the majority of the United States. Depending on where you live, you may be more susceptible to the effects of poor air quality. Norwalk residents need to take caution when dealing with their home and harmful vapors such as radon gas. On top of the four areas the air quality index measures, there are harmful vapors such as radon that are not even included in this index.
With October being air quality awareness month, we would like to provide you with information about harmful gases and particles, and their known health effects. First off, air pollution effects nearly everyone. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, have a child, have an elderly relative or are older yourself, or simply do exercise outdoors, you may be at a higher health risk. Children's lungs may still be developing, elderly people may have preexisting lung deficiencies or illnesses, and outdoor activities, or exercise may result in continual deep breathing of harmful air.
Health Effects of Poor Air Quality in Norwalk, CT
Now that you know nearly everyone in Norwalk, CT is at a potential health risk because of poor health quality, it is important to know what these health risks may be. Shortness of breath, or tightness in the chest may occur from just short term exposure. Lung function may decrease, and you may be more likely to have infection because of the damage to white blood cells in your lungs. Some damage may be permanent. While these are health risks associated with poor air quality in Norwalk, do not forget that 20,000 people die each year from lung cancer caused by radon gas.
Air Quality Index and Purification Systems
The EPA has created an air quality index to have a better idea of the total air quality in cities across the nation. The scale goes from 0 to 500, but anything above level 50 indicates a potential health risk due to poor air quality. Did you know that over the course of a year, we may see some locations spike with levels above 300, indicating that everyone in the vicinity may experience negative health effects, and that the EPA has deemed the air quality as hazardous? Norwalk residents should keep a close eye on their air quality index to determine whether or not the quality is suitable for outdoor activities.
When hearing the alarming news of health risks and the poor air quality in a number of locations, Norwalk residents should not forget about radon gas, and its own ability to cause death and lung damage. If you are concerned about the health of yourself and your family, I would highly recommend on calling a professional to install an air purification system in your Norwalk home. An air purification system can reduce the number of unhealthy contaminants in your air, and allow you to breath clean air again. Be careful, and do not take risks when it comes to your family's safety in regard to air quality.
Norwalk Radon Mitigation Company, S.W.A.T. Environmental
Norwalk, Connecticut is home to the radon mitigation company S.W.A.T. Environmental which just made headlines this month by being ranked by INC.com as one of the fastest growing companies in the United State. Adding over sixty employees in the past three years, and having a growth rate of 155%, S.W.A.T. Environmental is on the pace to have a revenue of $12 million. S.W.A.T. Environmental is the first radon mitigation company to ever be on this list, which speaks volumes to the quality of service, and the scientific discoveries in regard to the dangers of radon gas.
S.W.A.T. Environmental is no ordinary radon mitigation company. We did not get where we are today by going about business as many other radon mitigation companies do. When you speak with a representative at S.W.A.T. Environmental, we treat you like a person. Our representatives are always happy to help provide you with all the information you need about radon gas in order to help you make an informed decision as to whether or not radon mitigation is needed in your Norwalk, Connecticut home.
What Norwalk Residents Should Know About Radon
Radon was discovered as the fifth radioactive gas in 1900 by Friedrich Dorn. Often radon is created by the breakdown of other radioactive elements such as thorium or uranium. The most common place for radon to form is in the soil beneath your foundation in your Norwalk home. Without ventilation, this cancer causing gas builds up in your Norwalk home, essentially making you inhale cancer with every breath. Tasteless, colorless, and odorless, radon testing is the only true method to determine whether or not your Norwalk home is in need of a radon mitigation system.
Roughly 7.8 million households are infected with above normal levels of radon gas, which equates to roughly one out of every fifteen homes. Some areas, such as Norwalk, may have a higher ratio of infected homes simply do to the displacement of uranium and thorium throughout the soil. Although radon may have higher concentrations in different regions, there is no telling whether or not your Norwalk home is infested without a test.
Why S.W.A.T. Environmental for Radon Mitigation
S.W.A.T. Environmental would like to thank all of its customers for making us one of the fastest growing businesses in America. We truly could not have accomplished this without you. If you have not already chosen a radon mitigation company for your Norwalk home, let me explain the difference between S.W.A.T. Environmental and many of the other competitors.

Do not risk your health with a non-certified contractor. Call the radon mitigation experts at S.W.A.T. Environmental for more information on protecting your home.
Why Radon Testing is Necessary in Norwalk
What if I told you that a chemical was so radioactive, that it has limited scientists' research on it? What if I told you this same chemical is the main cause of public exposure to ionization radiation? This same chemical is one of the most dense gases and comes from isotopes which have a half life of 4.5 billion years. If you do not know by now, I am referring to radon gas. Radon testing is the only way to detect if this gas is in your home as it is tasteless, colorless, and odorless.
Now that you know all of the physical traits of this gas, it is important to educate yourself on what it all means. This gas is responsible for 21,000 deaths each year by causing lung cancer. A good percent of these people have never even smoked in their life. Exposure levels have been found in homes in which the levels are so high, it is equivalent to smoking 135 packs of cigarettes a day. If you have not already, pick up your phone and schedule radon testing for your Norwalk home. If your levels are below 4 pCi/L, you will not have to worry, as your home is currently safe from this gas. With higher levels, additional action may be required.
Radon Testing Process in Norwalk
Now that you are informed on the dangers of radon gas, you need to know how testing works. Radon testing should be done every two to five years. We protect, insure, and inspect our homes for termites, fires, mold, and many other dangers, so routine radon testing should be at the top of your to-do list. Radon testing may be done short term or long term. Long term radon testing will take ninety days to complete, and will provide you with the most thorough results. A short term test will only take two to seven days to complete, and will provide more instantaneous results. We typically encourage short term radon testing for those who have not tested their home in a while.
Radon Testing Results Aftermath in Norwalk
Norwalk residents have no reason to fear high radon testing results. High radon testing results can be solved by a professional you trust. Now you are dealing with your health, and your family's health, so it is extremely important to hire a radon company that is local, and trustworthy. S.W.A.T. Environmental has been specializing in radon mitigation since 1988. If your levels are above 4 pCi/L, then give S.W.A.T. Environmental a call for a free quote on a mitigation system from a professional you can trust in the Norwalk area.
If your radon levels are below 4 pCi/L, you may sleep easy at night in your Norwalk home, knowing that your levels are below the danger zone. Remember to schedule radon testing every two to five years to ensure you are safe. So what are you waiting for? Call a professional for radon testing on your Norwalk home today!
Waterborne Radon and Its Impact on Norwalk, Connecticut
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive and cancer-causing gas that could be in your Norwalk, Connecticut home right now, right under your nose. This odorless, tasteless, and transparent killer is responsible for thousands of deaths in the United Stated every year, and excess exposure means putting you and your family at risk for both lung and stomach cancer. Worse yet, while some people have heard of the risks of airborne exposure, radon in water is an issue with which many in the Norwalk area are unfamiliar.
Radon is a decaying form of radium, a byproduct that can be created naturally in rock, soil and sometimes water. Deposits of this element found in the earth surrounding ground water mean that the resulting radon in water has the perfect chance to escape and contaminate that water. When wells later tap into those water supplies, the radon can be pulled into homes along with the water. As the City of Norwalk's own website notes, many "residents relay on ground water for all or part of their drinking supply."
While the city has enacted an Aquifer Protection Area Program to protect the land above some of these water sources, this typically only protects from above-ground pollution, not from naturally occurring hazards within the ground itself like radon. Moreover, for the many Norwalk residents who rely on private wells, even this small protection is irrelevant, since it only impacts individuals connected to the public water supply.
How Can My Family Be Harmed by Radon in Water?
Once your ground water has become contaminated with radon, it is not long before it makes its way into your home. At this point, ingestion of the contaminated water, putting you at increased risk for stomach and intestinal cancer, is just the first problem. In addition, typical household chores, from doing dishes, to cooking, to doing laundry, to showering, can all release the waterborne radon into the air. In its gaseous form, radon has been identified as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Whether you suspect that you have radon in your water or not, it is important that you take the steps necessary to ensure that your Norwalk, Connecticut home is protected. Having your home's air and water tested for elevated radon levels is the first step. Radon levels higher than 4.0 pCi/L mean that you definitely have a problem.
SWAT Environmental's radon mitigation and removal specialists are trained in the details of testing the air and water in a house for contamination. As experts in their field, they have the equipment and experience necessary to analyze potential contamination and to recommend the best steps to prevent or remove the problem. Not only will these licensed specialists be able to perform any necessary testing, they will also be able to actually protect your Norwalk home from the dangers of radon in water by installing equipment to remove it if it is present.
One of the more common dangerous gasses that a person may encounter is radon. Radon is undetectable to the normal human senses since it is both invisible and odorless. It is also a noble gas, which means it is fairly unreactive in most situations. However, this radioactive gas is a strong carcinogen, or substance that can cause cancer. Since radon gas can be created naturally, it is important that you educate yourself on how to detect it, and what to do if you do detect it in your home.
How Can Radon Abatement Help You?
Radon abatement is the process of clearing a building of radon gas. More specifically, the idea is to dilute the radon gas into the atmosphere, where it becomes harmless. Radon, like many other harmful substances, is only lethal in high concentrations. Depending on the circumstances, there are several ways this radon abatement can be accomplished. You should rely on the expertise of SWAT Environmental's radon abatement specialists to decide which strategy is best in your home. In most cases, the abatement will involve some combination of sealing the means by which the radon is getting inside, then using a specialized ventilation or pressurization radon abatement system to prevent its reentry and remove the gas already in the house.
What Services Are Part of the Radon Abatement Process?
There are two main categories of services available when you have SWAT Environmental perform a radon abatement in your house. The first, as mentioned above, is simply removing the gas. How this is done and how long it takes will depend on the specific situation in your home. Many people assume that this is the extent of the radon abatement process. In many cases, however, this must be preceded by the arguably more important step of detection. Since human beings cannot detect radon gas on their own, specialized equipment is necessary to determine whether a house has been contaminated by radon. SWAT Environmental's abatement technicians can handle this professional testing, as well as the actual radon gas removal.
A Final Note on Radon Abatement
The primary danger from extended exposure to high radon gas levels is lung cancer. Since the gas can be inhaled with no immediately noticeable effects, you and your family members might never realize you were being put at risk until it was too late. The gas is not flammable, nor will it cause suffocation or similarly dramatic symptoms. Due to the difficulties in detecting it, and the long term nature of its symptoms, it is vital to run proper checks for radon gas's presence from time to time. In serious cases, it may be necessary to secure a temporary place to stay or work if toxic levels of radon gas are found. This will give the radon abatement specialists time to remove the gas and to ensure that it will not come back. Proper planning and prevention, however, can keep the situation from ever becoming this serious.

The whole concept of RebootYou.com has been shaken badly by the economic downturn.
My original idea was that there were a lot of reasons to continue working beyond normal "retirement age" – the value of one's contribution, the personal renewal factor, the waste of talent from a sedentary retirement.
The need to keep earning money was there, too, but it was a very minor reason.
Things have changed. A lot.
Millions have seen a huge chunk of their retirement savings vaporize. Millions have lost their jobs – well before "retirement." Millions have lost their homes.
The number of available jobs for anyone – retirees or anyone else – has shrunk drastically. Far more people are competing for far fewer jobs.
Is there any good news anywhere?
The answer is "Yes." These dire forces are stoking entrepreneurial ideas and energies.
The New York Times reports that "(many) laid-off workers across the country, burned out by a merciless job market, are building business plans instead of sending out résumés. For these people, recession has become the mother of invention.
"Economists say that when the economy takes a dive, it is common for people to turn to their inner entrepreneur to try to make their own work. But they say that it takes months for that mentality to sink in, and that this is about the time in the economic cycle when it really starts to happen — when the formerly employed realize that traditional job searches are not working, and that they are running out of time and money."
This wave of downturn start-ups is different from those in the past, said the Times. The biggest difference is that "the Internet has given people an extraordinary tool not just to market their ideas but also to find business partners and suppliers, and to do all kinds of functions on the cheap: keeping the books, interacting with customers, even turning a small idea into a big idea."
I'm betting that you can turn your small idea into a big one. Give it a try!

Thomas Jefferson and His Contradictions

Thomas Jefferson was very aware of the contradiction between slavery and the ideas he, along with others, expressed in the Declaration. It was twice that he mentioned how the enslavement of African Americans goes against the "most sacred rights of life and liberty". As well as, enslavement amounts to "crimes committed against the Liberties of one people". Thomas Jefferson as well was born to a slave owning family and he himself owned slaves. Many people found it mysterious that Jefferson owned so many slaves but yet was so open in saying that slavery was immoral and it should be abolished.
Even after admitting he was wrong; Jefferson still blamed the king for slavery and the slave trade. In the first paragraph of the draft of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson condemned the king for supporting the importation of slavery to the colonies, stating that the crown "has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere. Still, this small section was asked to be dropped from the Declaration of Independence by the delegates from South Carolina and Georgia. Jefferson also based his charge due to the fact that several times during the 18th century, Virginia's legislature passed a tariff made to put a stop on the importation of slaves. The lawmakers did otherwise, because the colony's slave population was expanding rapidly and importing too many Africans would lower the price of domestic slaves whom Virginia planters wanted to sell.

An emergency blanket is a thin, lightweight blanket that reflects body heat back on to you so you can stay warm when it s cold. Absolute necessities of any survival kit. They don t take much space and weigh in at only 1 1/2 ounces. Aside from being a space blanket, you can also use them as a tent floor, a field expedient shelter, or for covering other gear items.
Within seconds of wrapping this blanket around yourself, you begin to feel warmth. This is your own body heat not escaping into the air as it normally does. Instead it s contained within the confines of the emergency blanket and around you where it belongs.
Wind is also a sapper of body heat, especially if you re wet. Without a protective layer blocking the wind, you can quickly lose your own insulating abilities. Wind can not penetrate this space blanket material and can not rob you of your own warmth. This emergency blanket is effective as a wind blocker keeping your vital body heat around you. Ideal For: Disaster Shelters, Disaster Relief Workers, Schools, Homeless Shelters, EOC Personnel, etc.

BY RAINBOWCHAIR; Editor
I don't often watch the news, which to me is quite ironic given the line of work that I have chosen to devote much of my time to, but last night – for about five minutes – I did. And I cannot express to you enough how thoroughly disappointed with it I was. It wasn't the news so much as the content that irked me, and it had to do with one of our most infamous politicians in recent history: Rob Blagojevich.
You remember Blogo right, if not from his run trying to be this year's celebrity apprentice than from his 17 guilty counts of corruption during his service to the state of Illinois as their mighty leader.
"Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is enrolling in a substance-abuse treatment program at a low-security federal prison in Colorado that is expected to shave a year off of his 14-year prison sentence," came the voice from my television.
Keep in mind my parents were watching the news, and I had just gotten home from work, and all I wanted to do was get downstairs and lay on my couch for the next hour without talking to anyone. It's funny how something as absurd as your ex-governor using a fabricated drug problem to get him out of prison for corruption to force you into a room with your parents and not only have a discussion but quite the heated debate.
It is just absurd to me that this is even an option for the man. He was charged with corruption: not possession or consumption, but corruption.
I have very high doubts that had Mr. Blagojevich had a little less celebrity attached to his namesake, a low-security Denver penitentiary would be out of the question let a lone drug rehab. Talk about a man who has mastered the art of corruption – well, almost mastered… He did get caught.
But come on how corrupt must one be to exploit the system that you already exploited to get yourself into the position that you needed to exploit it yet again to shave time off some of the sentence from your last exploitation. (I promise you that makes sense; I think)
So the real question for me is not whether Blagojevich is suffering from a real substance abuse problem; that problem should be irrelevant. Sure, if he actually had one, he should be offered the proper rehab to make him less dependent on those substances he once abused, but drug rehab should lessen sentences for charges on corruption!
Now if you remember Blago-boy, I sure hope you remember his predecessor, ex-governor George Ryan, who paved the corrupted way, so to speak, for the buffoons this fine state always seems so keen to have lead us.
An article in the Chicago Tribune said that two former associates of ex-governor Ryan said that "they remember it didn't take much to get into the Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program — as little as regularly consuming five alcoholic drinks a week before they had been incarcerated."
Five drinks a week and you're an alcoholic? If that's the case then sometimes I'm an alcoholic three or four times a week, hell, sometimes even more than once a day!
"Any defense lawyer in town that's worth their salt all know about this and they all try to get their clients in," Scott Fawell, Ryan's former chief of staff who cut his sentence by about 8 months by completing the drug program at a federal prison in Yankton, S.D., told the Trib. "(A lot) of the people who go through the system now ask for it or attempt to get in. How many actually need it, I couldn't tell you."
Chris Burke, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, told the Tribune that "[a]s inmates become more aware of the program and what it offers, I think it has been more challenging for us to weed out those inmates who are just trying to game the system," he said.
Really?! How Earth shattering!!

Hi there,
At home in the U.K, I am a Kent based artist with a travelling itch, and having found my creative passion late in life I am reminded every day that art truly celebrates the act of living.
It is with that in mind that I develop my paintings, working instinctively, always in the knowledge that the process will be bright bold and colourful. I paint driven by feelings of joy and playfulness with various mediums; brushes; knives; fingers and all manner of utensils to add texture and individuality to each piece. For all that view my work, I very much hope every finished painting brings an uplifting emotion to the fore that calls to be celebrated.
How did I get here?
After looking after my family; house; pets and the corporate world of various businesses over the last twenty-five years I physically and mentally crashed. My always-upbeat world turned grey, that was until I found art and WOW, with it came a vision for a completely different life…
Artistic Adventure
You can come on my artistic journey with me in my blog. I will take you on an adventurous ride in my, far too big, left hand drive motorhome. We will lumber around the coastline of England, Wales and Scotland and who knows where else! Not only creating art personally but also sharing my passion for others wellbeing by hosting free art classes on those beautiful beaches. Through imaginative experimentation I aim to inspire others to find moments of mindfulness and freedom. Maybe I'll meet you on my journey?
