Roots from a tree in your back yard generally is a actual headache in relation to plumbing. Be certain when you have a giant tree or bush or some kind of plant with a big root system, that you ask your plumbing company about root killing agents. You possibly can flush these down your rest room and kill any roots that could be blocking your pipes and save your self some huge cash by stopping a back up earlier than it occurs.
Making sure you understand your whole problems so you may have them fixed by one plumber go to is very helpful. Having all of them mounted in one visit takes some huge cash off of your bill as a result of you don't have to pay for the go to multiple occasions so be sure to make a list first. Don't let your faucet leak. Do you know a leaky faucet can waste about a hundred and fifty gallons of water every day? If you have a leak, never ignore it. It might be coming from the faucet or the pipes. Continually examine pipes and faucets for further moisture or small leaks.
In cold local weather areas, sometimes the pipes in the plumbing system freeze. You can thaw them out with out calling a plumber. Before starting this process, open the tap and start thawing closest to the tap and then move down the line as sections thaw out. One method you should utilize is to wrap the pipe with a heavy towel or burlap after which pour sizzling water over it, set a bucket underneath to catch the water.
There are numerous ways to unclog a drain. You'll be able to attempt plunging it at first. If that doesn't work attempt utilizing a chemical agent from the store. Before you go and spend cash on the store although, when you have baking soda and a few vinegar useful, you may mix those together and pour them within the drain and try to plunge that but when all else fails they've stronger remedies at your native ironmongery store.
Verify online for plumbers with good opinions and references.
If you can't turn off your major water valve before leaving on vacation, turn off the person valves for the toilets, sinks, and washing machine. If the valves do not look like they are in good working order, then leave them on and that will probably be something that it's good to have changed if you return. To keep away from clogs, take note of what you flush. Sanitary napkins, thick toilet paper and baby wipes should never be flushed. These items can develop and trigger a clog, or get caught on a pipe. As a substitute, dispose of them in a sanitary method that does not contain flushing them down the bathroom.
Check how effectively your toilets are flushing. If the deal with needs to be performed with with a view to preserve the water from running continuously, or if it must be held down several times with a view to flush, you may want to change out among the components in your tank. This isn't costly, and it may help reduce your month-to-month water invoice. It could also mean that you simply keep away from the embarrassment of the flushing system breaking when you may have visitors!
Have a look at your sizzling water heater and guantee that the temperature just isn't increased than one hundred twenty levels Fahrenheit. Whether it is, it may cause you to get burned or it might cut back the unit's vitality consumption. When you determine that the temperature is just too excessive, regulate instantly to keep away from any of these things from taking place. In case you dwell in a home using effectively water and your bathtubs have stains pink and orange in shade, that is seemingly a result of iron levels within the properly water. Fortunately, you'll be able to rapidly fix this by including some water softener to your supply. You possibly can pick up this product at lots of stores, or have it shipped out to you.
Keep away from frozen pipes this winter! Hold a small trickle of water dripping from taps, and wrap your uninsulated pipes with foam or newspaper. If attainable, maintain the doorways open between unheated and heated rooms. In an unheated area comparable to a garage or laundry room, maintain a small heater next to the pipes. Bear in mind to do that before the first cold snap hits. If you're using PEX tubing for the provision traces in your home, make sure you get the appropriate instruments for the job. PEX tubing requires a totally totally different device sort than common lines. PEX has a variety of benefits although, so don't let the different requirements throw you off.
You'll be able to unclog a toilet by pouring heat water within the bowl from waist degree. Repeat this process if crucial as the water returns again to a lower stage.


Nicholas Bracegirdle (born 28 February 1971), known professionally as Chicane, is a British musician, composer, songwriter, and record producer. Among his works are singles "Offshore", an Ibiza trance anthem included in many compilations in both chill-out and dance versions; "Saltwater", which featured vocals by Clannad member Máire Brennan, and the UK number one hit "Don't Give Up", featuring vocals by Bryan Adams, which also became a top ten hit on singles charts across Europe and Australia.
Far from the Maddening Crowds, Chicane's debut studio album from 1997, is still considered a seminal release among the trance music community, and his second studio album, 2000's Behind the Sun, was certified gold in the UK. In 2007, after the hindrance of an ultimately unreleased album (Easy to Assemble) in the intervening time, the third artist album Somersault was released on Bracegirdle's independent record label, followed shortly after by a tenth anniversary re-release of Far from the Maddening Crowds which included a new mix of "Offshore" ("Offshore 2007"). He released his fourth studio album Giants in 2010, with the fifth studio album Thousand Mile Stare following less than two years later, in spring 2012. The sixth studio album, The Sum of Its Parts, appeared in early 2015, and his seventh studio album, The Place You Can't Remember, The Place You Can't Forget, was released in 2018.

In Decoesfera we have seen many examples of industrial space transformed into a cosy and comfortable home from a mechanical workshop to an antique store, but we needed to see a former Carpenter's workshop a become a contemporary loft in Florence.
The peculiarity of this loft, falls to two very unique aspects, the first is that it is not an industrial area, but an old Florentine building located in the heart of the historic area This beautiful city.
The second uniqueness lies in that they decorated the House and divided the space with furniture with more than 300 cases to the Carpenter left in the local, why was baptized the project as Box House.
When the architect Alessandro Capellaro and his partner, Sabrina Bignami, cast a glance at this abandoned space they fell in love him. They decided to buy it and turn it into your home, recycled boxes and added his private collection of minimalist furniture.
The architect Alessandro Capellaro is responsible for this renovation, where furniture recycled with vintage furniture in vivid colors mix, full of unique items. The protagonist is wood, the architectural elements of the building, with its beautiful vaulted ceilings and the colours of lights.
What if got rid of partition walls and small windows to create a single open space with large windows through which light could sneak in every corner of the House.
With boxes made from the most obvious to the most unthinkable, a bookcase to order their books in a study with reusable crates, a bed, a dividing wall, a piece of furniture for the living room, a coffee table, a beautiful island kitchen, among many other furniture, kitchen island is my favorite furniture.
To give a touch of light and joy to a home that was staying sober, masculine and a little monotonous, He added colour through lamps, and a series of minimalist furniture with a touch of psychedelic, typical of the design of the 50's and 60.
The result is a wonderful eclectic mixture of old and new, a very current trend in decoration, where the history of the space, its architecture, is not compromised in the slightest.
I leave you a video where you can enjoy the space, in addition with comments from the own Alessandro, where us is counting where every piece has got and how defined Eastern particular and beautiful home.
The architect says about the House and its renovation: "this is a House free from conventions and full of memories". What do you think? I agree completely, you see its history and also enjoy the character of those who live on it.

Towards the end of this year (November 2 -4) the World Championship Punkin Chunkin occurs in Bridgeville, Delaware. "We're gonna hurl!" is their motto and Chunkers will get together, as they have every year since 1986, to see whose team can devise a machine that will throw a pumpkin the farthest. The WCPCAssociation's stated mission is to cultivate "the odd, challenging and competitive quest for distance that inspires creativity, ingenuity, teamwork, and passion". Their yearly event makes money and supports scholarships and charitable programs.
Pumpkins are a fruit with entertainment value.
Also they are very good to eat in many different ways, including the one described here: drizzling them with olive oil, giving them a sprinkle of garlic, roasting them in a very hot oven, and finally crusting them with some maple syrup and a little Parmesan. Eating pumpkin this way is liable to increase the pumpkin's popularity further.
1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. and brush the baking dish with some olive oil.
6. Roast the cubes in the very hot oven for about 15 minutes. Half-way through the roasting time, loosen the cubes from the dish with a spatula and mix them around a bit. At the end of the roasting time, a skewer will pierce a cube through easily if it is done….
A Note: Maple-crusted Roast Pumpkin is served with Tartiflette in the Lunch on a Winter's Day Menu. Although it is a fruit, the diplomatickitchen categorizes this recipe under 'Vegetables' because, in this case, it is treated like one.
A Second Note: You can read about the odd and fascinating history of 'The Chunk' here at punkinchunkin.com. Growers of big pumpkins meet and discuss their common interest on bigpumpkins.
I love your recipes and especially the stories that go with them ! And I can't decide if I like the pictures the most — or the way I can imagine they taste before even attempting to make them.
I can send you another delicious recipe for Afgani Pumpkin, or Green beans with Lemon peel and Pine nuts, or Palacintas with Wallnuts and Wine Chaudeau — but I won't even attempt to take pictures that could come close to yours. Would you do it, if you decide they are worth a try ?
Congratulations on this fabulous blog and also on your discipline of adding more delicious recipes regularly.
OOps, I even misspelled your name….scusi me ! N.
I'm really glad you're enjoying the blog. It's fun to do…more fun, obviously, if other people like reading it. The recipes sound good–please send any or all of them. It's so nice of you.
I had a pumpkin that I got to carve for work (for a team building exercise) and Hurricane Sandy happened so it got cancelled. I took the pumpkin home after we went back to work and roasted the seeds and made this recipe instead. Thank you for this, it turned out delicious!
I'm glad to hear you liked it and thanks for letting me know.


Many of you have heard me speak about the explosion of data due to Web 3.0 and the "cloud." Data can now be collected, organized, analyzed and synthesized to find trends, make predictions and make decisions in ways that just a couple of years ago was not possible. It is often referred to as Big Data.
1. Reflect on a prior learning experience.
2. Reflect on visual stimulus.
3. Reflect on a reading assignment.
And so on. Teachers appreciate the simplicity of the exercises, while students enjoy the reflective nature of the writing assignments. Everyone wins!
Salmon River Middle School, Fort Covington, NY: School leaders realized they had to educate students to use technology in a safe and responsible way. They ultimately selected Common Sense Media's free Digital Literacy and Citizenship Curriculum. The curriculum empowers students to think critically, behave safely and participate responsibly in the digital world.
Hamilton/Fulton/Montgomery BOCES, Johnstown, N.Y.: The Literacy Growth Profile is a longitudinal data tool used to track student literacy levels. It is based on the Lexile Framework for Reading and tracks the progression of a student's reading over time. The profile monitors how well a student comprehends various sources, like high school- and college-level literature and textbooks, military texts, personal use items and entry-level occupational reading. Students are stretched throughout elementary, middle and high school and are at both college- AND career-ready literacy levels when they graduate.
Is this reading? Is it statistics? Is it logic? Is it probability? Is it measurement systems? It is writing? The answer is 'yes' to each of these questions. Twenty-first century literacy is in multiple disciplines!
Is your instructional program designed to teach these skills? They are in the nation's most rapidly improving schools.
At this year's 25th Annual Model Schools Conference, held June 25-28 in Nashville, we will showcase schools that focus on 21st century literacy.
Next week's blog will focus on the effective uses of technology.
Those of you who have heard me speak know I believe literacy is the single greatest key to student success.
Brockton High School in Brockton, Mass., was forced to address why students performed so poorly on a state standardized test. They assembled a committee of faculty and administrators who asked this question: "Is this the best we can be?" The answer was a resounding "NO!" From this came an epiphany: The school was not teaching students literacy, specifically reading, writing, speaking and reasoning. The committee concluded that literacy must be taught in all classes – including physical education and the arts. Furthermore, literacy would be applicable to all students, from the most gifted to those most in need.
The committee created four charts, called literary charts, to provide visual representation of skills and competencies. The charts listed the corresponding skills for each of the four components of literacy: reading, writing, speaking and reasoning. The charts were posted in every classroom to serve as a constant reminder of literacy's link to all subject areas and the school's vision of literacy for all.
As a result, student performance improved dramatically, resulting in higher test scores across the board.
1.) The teacher chooses an article that relates to his or her unit's current topic. The article must be at a high enough Lexile measure to warrant chunking and rereading.
2.) The teacher selects vocabulary to pre-teach, chunks the text for students and creates text-dependent questions that increase in complexity as the lesson progresses.
3.) The teacher uses a Frayer model after completing an activating strategy or hook with students.
4.) The teacher distributes the article and reads it aloud; students read the article to themselves.
5.) The teacher asks students to reread the first chunk on their own. Then the teacher asks the pre-planned, text-dependent questions.
6.) This process continues, and discussion may ensue as the questions increase in complexity.
7.) When students have read each chunk twice, they then reread the entire article to themselves.
8.) The teacher gives students a summary writing assignment (written in the style of a prompt), along with a generic rubric. The question must be structured in a way that requires students to use evidence from the entire text to answer the prompt.
9.) A performance task may be assigned, depending on time and/or student interest.
Brockton High School, Brockton, Mass., equipped its faculty to teach literacy wherever possible by creating Literacy Workshops. Faculty members were appointed to guide teachers through a systematic and results-driven approach to teach a certain literacy skill. The workshops were particularly important because by improving literacy skills, students would gain the reading comprehension and language skills to improve in all subjects.
At this year's 25th Annual Model Schools Conference from June 25-28 in Nashville, we will showcase schools that focus on literacy for all students.
Next week's blog will focus again on literacy, but this time literacy for the 21st century.
As school leaders determine how to respond to the new opportunities available from the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), I have received many requests for information about best practices in the nation's most rapidly improving schools.
In our ongoing study of these schools, we at the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE) have learned that there is no specific formula or program that works. There are, however, consistent practices these schools use at the organizational leadership, instructional leadership and teaching levels.
Best Practice 1 — Create a culture of high academic expectations and positive relationships.
Johnston County Schools of Smithfield, NC, used budgeting to create a student-centered culture. Every proposed budgetary item—no matter how small—needed justification about how that expenditure would likely impact student performance. The assistant superintendent of instruction had to approve all budget requests.
Pembroke Central School of Corfu, NY, needed to address the lack of positive relationships within the district, mainly to resolve a bullying problem. In 2012, the district created a "Safe and Supportive Learning Environment" committee to help create a plan of action to establish a positive culture. The committee used Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People as a framework to guide actions within the district and across the community. It led to the implementation of Covey's The Leader in Me program across the district. It has turned around the culture for both the schools and the community.
Kathleen H. Wilbur Elementary School of Bear, DE, a large elementary school (1,100 students) with a very diverse population, made a commitment and took action to create a positive culture where everyone — from students to teachers to parents — galvanized around a shared vision of growth and achievement. They accomplished this through a series of pep rallies, videos, daily announcements, songs, back-to-school nights, and community activities built around the following theme: "We are WILBUR, we are INSPIRED, HARD WORKERS, GREAT THINKERS, WE PERSEVERE." In addition, the school created "Dream Teams" of teachers who presented their "best practices" on rigor, relevance, and relationships twice a month to all staff. Wilbur has become a place where each and every student and staff member develops a growth mindset and is supported to succeed.
Brooks-Quinn-Jones Elementary School of Nacogdoches, TX, developed an initiative with staff, students, and the community to begin to develop strong relationships. Inspired by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who notably said, "Why not me in the Super Bowl?", Principal Thomas Miller led a series of activities that allowed all stakeholders to demonstrate their interest in and support of students, championing them on with signs and songs, and challenging them to commit to the theme of "Why Not Me?" It has led to a culture of support and high expectations for all students.
At this year's 25th Annual Model Schools Conference, scheduled for June 25-28 in Nashville, we will showcase multiple examples of schools which have created a culture of high expectations for all students.
Next week's blog will focus on districts and schools that have experienced success by making organizational and instructional changes in their schools.

LipSense is a waterproof lip color that does not smudge, smear, rub-off or kiss-off and can last up to 18 hours. With over 36 shades (and counting) to choose from, you can create custom colors by combining shades. One application can last anywhere from 4-18 hours! WOWZA! One tube is equivalent to approximately 4 tubes of regular lipstick and can last for 6 months!
SeneGence is a cosmetic company that makes LipSense. SeneGence skincare and makeup is amazing! I saw an add on facebook and decided to order a LipSense collection. As soon as I tried LipSense I was hooked and wanted more colors! The rest is history! I am now an Emerald Crown Princess with SeneGence and my network has done close to 7 million dollars in sales. In just a year! It still blows my mind. A year ago I was a stay-at-home mom feeling kind of lost and helpless. I wanted to contribute to our family income, help pay off debt and build our savings, but didn't see how. I wasn't even open to working in direct sales, but I was converted to these products instantly and then fell in love with the business as well.
This makeup and opportunity has been life changing for me. I have never been happier with my skin and felt more confident. The sisterhood and community has been a major blessing as well. Not to mention, I also have been able to make incredible money working from home, calling the shots, the hours and the potential. I love this company and I am so excited to introduce you to these incredible products. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. In addition to the products actually working and being great for your skin, they are animal cruelty-free and vegan.
Hooray!!! I can stand behind that!
How do I apply LipSense?
To get started, make sure you have removed any other product from your lips. Shake the LipSense tube well. I like to shake it "like a poloroid picture", but you can just to freestyle;) Now, open your tube and wipe off excess product. Then, with a swiping motion, swipe on the color in one direction so the LipSense can form a solid bond with your lip. Let each coat dry 5 to 10 seconds before applying another coat. You will want 3 coats for the longest wear. When your color is dry, apply the LipSense gloss, which will help protect your color and keep your lips moisturized all day. Don't worry if you make a mistake, just use your Ooops! Lip Color remover to get rid of blemishes.
LipSense is initially sold as a starter kit for $55 or you can join my team for the SAME PRICE ($55) and start getting a discount as well as making money!
The starter kit includes: LipSense liquid lip color, moisturizing gloss and an Ooops! Lip Color remover.
Single LipSense colors are priced at $25.00, while LipSense glosses are $20.00 each.
Ooops! Lipsense Lip Color remover is priced at $10.00. This is a great tool to have as a simple swipe will erase any application errors or remove your LipSense at the end of the day. Better yet, it works instantly with no rubbing!
SeneGence products can be ordered through a distributor like me or you can buy a wholesale beauty membership (kind of like Costco) for 55$ which allows you to purchase your own products 20-50% off.
If you want some extra cash you can resell those items for full price. That is what I did a year ago. At first, it was just for fun but I soon realized the potential for income and substantially upped my time investment as my business grew. I have been able to earn a free car (replacing our car and car payment), earned several vacations and a substantial monthly income that is far more than I ever dreamed for my family. I have shared this same opportunity with so many friends like yourself and that is how I have built my business. Unlike many direct sales companies, SeneGence does not require a monthly minimum order. There is really zero commitment. Its that simple. You can order the products from me or I can show you how to make some extra money while getting your products at a discount. You can also order your own makeup and skincare and not resell anything!

Big-data cloud launch spearheads GE RSNA news
By Brian Casey and Kate Madden Yee, AuntMinnie.com staff writers
December 2, 2015 -- CHICAGO - The launch of a new service for analyzing healthcare data in the cloud is spearheading the product introductions by GE Healthcare at this week's RSNA 2015 meeting. Other introductions include new ultrasound and CT systems.
Imaging informatics
GE made a major play in the big-data segment with the launch of GE Health Cloud at RSNA 2015, a new healthcare IT platform designed to enable medical facilities to perform data analytics and other functions more efficiently in the cloud.
GE Health Cloud is built around the company's Predix industrial Internet platform, along with a group of healthcare-specific apps developed by GE and other companies for specific tasks.
GE is highlighting four main areas for Health Cloud in its RSNA booth. The first is the ability of Health Cloud to give users cloud-based access to GE's Advantage Workstation (AW) software for 3D imaging and postprocessing.
The platform can also be used to help institutions prepare for multidisciplinary team meetings that can connect staff across multiple locations, cutting the amount of time required to prepare for meetings by 20%.
Health Cloud offers a more robust and scalable platform for exchanging cases between medical practitioners, regardless of their institutional affiliation, and CDs no longer have to be used for case exchange.
Finally, Health Cloud provides more efficient access to patient images, helping to create a longitudinal record for imaging and related patient data. GE is showing Health Cloud apps in its RSNA booth, with a full commercial launch expected in the first half of 2016.
GE is also highlighting recent enhancements to its Universal Viewer application for enterprise-wide image viewing, including 19 integrated applications, and the company is integrating its AW workstation software into Universal Viewer.
Meanwhile, GE is launching Centricity Analytics at the show, support for pathology images, and an update to its AW VolumeShare 7 software. The company noted that it is moving more of its core applications to the cloud.
In the CT section of its booth, GE is highlighting Revolution CT ES, a new lower-cost version of its flagship Revolution CT platform designed for emergency room use. The new system sports 80 mm of coverage, compared with the 160 mm found on the high-end Revolution CT model. But it features the same 256-detector-row configuration found on the higher-end system, and customers can upgrade to 160-mm coverage in the future by swapping out detectors.
On the Revolution HD platform, GE is demonstrating a metal artifact reduction (MAR) protocol called Smart MAR, and it is also talking about its CT lung cancer screening protocol, for which it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance earlier in the year.
On the software side, DoseWatch Explore is a radiation dose management and optimization application that is Web-based and can be deployed over the cloud. The application lets sites track, analyze, and report on dose for their GE scanners, collecting data directly from the modality scanner and presenting it to users via a Web application so they can easily make changes to scanning protocols to reduce dose.
In MRI, GE is highlighting ViosWorks, a cloud-based cardiac MR visualization and reporting package that captures 3D spatial and velocity data at every time point during the cardiac cycle, producing high-resolution images of the beating heart and measuring the speed and direction of blood flow at each time point.
ViosWorks combines 3D cardiac anatomy, function, and flow in a single free-breathing scan.
The platform simplifies cardiac exams for patients because it allows for a single free-breathing scan; it also eliminates the need for slice positioning and reduces exam time from more than 60 minutes to 10 minutes or less. Because it is built on GE's cloud-based Arterys software, users can evaluate large datasets in real-time, according to the firm. GE expects ViosWorks to be commercially available in 2016.
The company is also highlighting three MRI scanners it launched last year at RSNA: Signa Pioneer, its flagship 3-tesla unit, and Signa Creator and Signa Explorer, both 1.5-tesla devices.
Signa Voyager is a work-in-progress 1.5-tesla MRI scanner.
Pioneer received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in July and the CE Mark in August. It features GE's magnetic resonance image compilation (MAGiC) and SilentScan protocols, as well as its total digital imaging (TDI) package, which improves image quality and increases signal-to-noise ratios by up to 25%. MAGiC received the CE Mark in August but has not yet been cleared by the FDA.
Both Creator and Explorer use 34% less power than GE's previous generation MR and were FDA-cleared in March. Creator offers "eyes to thighs" coverage, automated motion correction for brain imaging, cartilage mapping for musculoskeletal studies, and vascular scans with noncontrast and automated time-resolved protocols. Explorer includes these features as well as SilentScan for brain imaging and MAVRIC SL, a tool that improves visualization of soft tissue.
Also on the MR side, GE is showcasing Signa Explorer Lift, an in-field upgrade program for its 1.5-tesla systems. The program allows facilities with currently installed 1.5-tesla GE scanners to rebuild their existing magnet, saving up to 50% in construction and equipment cost compared to purchasing a new GE 1.5-tesla system, and increasing procedure volume by 30% due to more efficient workflow, the company said.
Finally, GE is highlighting Signa Voyager, a work-in-progress unit that will give users lower price-point access to a 1.5-tesla wide-bore MR by reducing operational costs and offering easier siting requirements. Signa Voyager will include most of the applications available with Signa Pioneer.
Interventional and x-ray
GE has created a new family of interventional x-ray software packages, called Assist, that are designed to help subspecialists perform complex endovascular procedures more easily.
One of the applications that GE has added to the Assist family is FlightPlan for Liver, which provides what GE calls directed workflow for liver embolization procedures, walking users step by step through studies performed on the company's flagship Discovery IGS 740 angiography system.
Interventional images demonstrate before (left) and after (right) the use of FlightPlan for Liver.
FlightPlan for Liver is designed to address challenges involved in delivering therapeutic drugs during transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) therapy, where identifying the liver's vessels accurately is key. This can be complicated by the liver's complex vasculature, which can make it hard to identify tumor-feeding vessels in 2D and 3D images.
The application automatically highlights vessels traveling from the catheter tip to the area of a hypervascular lesion. It can also work with vessels identified as 3D roadmaps on the company's Innova Vision option.
Another new application, Vessel Assist, is designed for procedures to clear chronic total occlusions, as well as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedures. Other applications include bone interventions, vascular surgery, interventional cardiology, and interventional oncology.
In traditional radiography, GE is demonstrating a novel tool in which booth attendees are able to tour a virtual radiography department using virtual reality glasses.
GE is giving RSNA attendees a tour of a virtual radiography department.
In ultrasound, GE is highlighting the next generation of its Logiq E9 general imaging ultrasound system, Logiq E9 XDclear 2.0. The system features the company's XDclear probes, and compared with last year's iteration of the device, it offers 99% improved spatial resolution, 22% more contrast, and 170% more image information, according to firm.
The unit also features productivity and ergonomic tools to make technologists' workloads easier, and it is designed for multiple applications, from imaging the liver and abdomen to breast, thyroid, and vascular imaging.
The company is also launching Vivid E95, a new 4D cardiovascular ultrasound system, which features its XDclear probe technology and cSound software and supports 4D transesophageal echocardiography. GE is also showing an upgraded version of its Logiq S8 portable ultrasound device, which now also includes XDclear.
GE will also highlight its Vscan pocket ultrasound device with a two-in-one probe, along with its Invenia automated breast ultrasound system, which has shown a 55% relative increase in finding invasive cancer in women with dense breast tissue.
Logiq E9 XDclear 2.0 is the next generation of GE's Logiq E9 platform.
Finally, the company is featuring its Scan Assistant tool, which helps sonographers scan more effectively by reducing keystrokes, shortening exam time and improving exam quality. It is also touting trophon EPR, an automated disinfection system for ultrasound probes that kills strains of human papilloma virus with a vaporized hydrogen peroxide solution.
On the women's health side, GE is highlighting its eight-year collaboration with Institut Gustave-Roussy (IGR) in Villejuif, France. In 2004, the facility established a one-stop breast health clinic that uses a multidisciplinary, multimodality approach to diagnose women who arrive with suspicious breast findings.
The clinic features diagnostic imaging technologies from GE such as its Senographe Essential mammography unit, its SenoBright contrast-enhanced spectral mammography device, its SenoClaire digital breast tomosynthesis unit, and ultrasound and image-guided fine-needle aspiration.
GE and IGR commissioned an independent study of the facility's data from 11,000 women. They found that 75% of the women who arrived at the clinic received an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan the same day, they underwent fewer biopsies, and there was more than 80% patient satisfaction, according to the firm.
In molecular imaging, GE is focusing on telling the stories of customers that have improved their efficiency using the company's products. For example, one PET/CT site in Europe went from performing 12 studies a day to 25 by scanning patients in half the time with half the dose of radiopharmaceutical. The efficiency gains also translate to SPECT, where a user of GE's Discovery 670 Pro SPECT/CT system saw similar results.
On the product side, GE is talking up PET volume computer-assisted reading (VCAR), which the company said improves visualization and monitoring of disease progression or response to therapy. The application gives users the ability to compute standardized uptake values, measure metabolic activity and volume for areas of uptake on PET scans, and compare CT, PET/CT, and MR studies for baseline and follow-up studies.

Zeldin Calls for Support for Estuary Funding
Kathryn G. Menu

Congressman Lee Zeldin, co-chair of the Long Island Sound Caucus and a founding member of the bipartisan Congressional Estuary Caucus, joined by local elected officials and environmental advocates at press conference on Monday calling for full support of the Long Island Sound Program and National Estuary Program.
"One of our natural treasures, the Long Island Sound, is a precious feature of our life, culture and economy," said Mr. Zeldin. "It is also essential to our local recreation and tourism industries, as well as the livelihood of thousands of Long Islanders. As such, a key natural and economic resource, we must continue to protect this critical waterway. Over the years, water quality around Long Island has suffered from pollution, overdevelopment and other negative impacts. The Long Island Sound Program is dedicated to water quality and wetlands restoration, as well as other local conservation projects to restore local beaches and protect wildlife. Funding is prioritized to address urgent and challenging issues that threaten the ecological and economic well-being of coastal areas including nitrogen, harmful algae blooms, and flooding or wetland loss. The National Estuary Program is an important Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wetlands protection program for 28 estuaries in the United States that the EPA has recognized to be of 'national significance' due to their threatened status from pollution and overdevelopment. There are two here on the East End: the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. The National Estuary Program was established by the Clean Water Act and makes important grants to state and local programs to promote water quality and wetland restoration. The National Estuary Program is the primary funding source for the Peconic Estuary Program."
"As co-chair of the Long Island Sound Caucus," Congressman Zeldin continued, "I'm calling on my colleagues to help ensure that the Long Island Sound Program and National Estuary Program are fully supported and funded in the upcoming appropriations process; and certainly not eliminated."
Mr. Zeldin said he helped prevent a proposed 22 percent cut in funding for the Long Island Sound under the Obama administration, and helped lead efforts to reauthorize the National Estuary Program.
"Today, I am requesting full funding for two EPA programs essential for our local environment and at levels already approved last Congress with bipartisan support — $10 million approved by the House for the Long Island Sound Program and $26.5 million approved by the House and Senate for the National Estuary Program."
Mr. Zeldin said he will also reintroduce the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act, which would reauthorize water quality and shore restoration funding for the Sound.
"Protecting our land, air and water are crucial priorities for Long Island. Federal funding of the National Estuary Program and the Long Island Sound Program are critically important," said New York State Senator Ken LaValle at the press conference. "I look forward to our continued partnership as we further our efforts to protect and restore our water resources for future generations."
"We are extremely grateful for the consistent support of Congressman Zeldin," said Dr. Alison Branco, director of the Peconic Estuary Program. "National Estuary Programs, like PEP, are non-regulatory and consensus-driven, building diverse partnerships to achieve on-the-ground results. Federal investment in our estuaries of national significance supports thousands of jobs, strengthens America's economy, and helps ensure the future of our coastal communities."

Islam: The Religion of Genocide, Over 670mil non-Muslims massacred since the birth of Islam
These numbers keep increasing all the time when more forgotten figures from history keeps being added.
To the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia.
We are missing numbers on the Islamic genocide of Jews, a continuous goal in Islam for 1,400 years.
Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time.
With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be over 669 million murders.
Perspective: Think the Spanish inquisition was bad?
More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.
The Spanish inquisition (Tribunal del Santo Oficio de la Inquisición) from 1478 to 1834 was established due to muslim invasions. It was the war and battle to try and end Islamic infiltration, Arab fascism and conquest. It's quite interesting how similar to muslims their methodology was. Was it habit by long association under muslim rule or a strategy?
Note: The Spanish Inquisition was an answer to the multi-religious nature of Spanish society following the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Muslim Moors.
After invading in 711, large areas of the Iberian Peninsula were ruled by Muslims until 1250, when they were restricted to Granada, which fell in 1492. However, the Reconquista did not result in the total expulsion of Muslims from Spain, since they, along with the enslaved Jews, were tolerated by the ruling Christian elite. Large cities, especially Seville, Valladolid and Barcelona, had significant Jewish populations centered in Juderia. Muslims tried to take control throughout the entire country and expand into France to install an islamic state wherever they went.
To expel the vicious Islamic parasite from the nation the Tribunal killed anyone and everyone who were suspected of being contaminated by Islam, even those enslaved by the muslims.
The Inquisition not only hunted for Protestants and for false converts from Judaism among theconversos, but also searched for false or relapsed converts among the Moriscos [moors], forced converts from Islam. Many Moriscos were suspected of practising Islam in secret. They killed anyone suspected of being traitors or disguised moles. No one was spared.
So successful was the enterprise in 1609, in the space of months, Spain was emptied of its Moriscos. Expelled were the Moriscos of Aragon, Murcia, Catalonia, Castile, Mancha and Extremadura.
In other words, the Spanish inquisition saved the entire region from being taken over by Islamic rule. It was a brutal but quintessentially heroic act in history that saw the sacrifice of millions of people to exterminate Islam fully and completely from the land. It took them nearly 400 years. Imagine the sheer volume of muslims in the country for it to take almost four centuries to get rid of them.
Think the KKK has been bad since 1950?
Islamic terrorists murder more people every day than the Ku Klux Klan has in the last 50 years
Think the KKK was bad from 1865-1965?
Islamists killed more Buddhists in Thailand since 9/11 than the KKK killed in the 100 YEARS from 1865 to 9165.
Think the IRA's terror campaign and the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland was bad?
More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland
Think capital punishment in the USA is barbaric?
The 19 Muslim hijackers killed more innocents in two hours on September 11th than the number of American criminals executed in the last 65 years.
It's actually much worse than that: MORE PERSPECTIVE: Tears of Jihad
These figures are a rough estimate of the death of non-Muslims by the political act of jihad.
Africa Massacred by Islam
Click on image for more details
Thomas Sowell [Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188] estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East.
For every slave captured many others died.
Estimates of this collateral damage vary. The renowned missionary David Livingstone estimated that for every slave who reached a plantation, five others were killed in the initial raid or died of illness and privation on the forced march.
[Woman's Presbyterian Board of Missions, David Livingstone, p. 62, 1888]
Those who were left behind were the very young, the weak, the sick and the old. These soon died since the main providers had been killed or enslaved.
So, for 25 million slaves delivered to the market, we have an estimated death of about 120 million people. Islam ran the wholesale slave trade in Africa.
120 million Africans

Christians Massacred by Islam
The number of Christians martyred by Islam is 9 million [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-10] .
A rough estimate by Raphael Moore in History of Asia Minor is that another 50 million died in wars by jihad.
So counting the million African Christians killed in the 20th century we have:
59 million Christians in Asia Minor
80 million Christians killed by Muslims during 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia.
[This calculation does not include the Arab biological warfare of the middle ages where enslaved and infected Jews, riddled with plague, were dumped across Europe in regions that had no Jewish origin or settlers. They carried the disease from the brutal Arab slave trade and were part of the enslaved blacks, Christians and Jews who managed to survive by paying jizya. These diseased people were then spread into Europe during muslim efforts to conquer the Italian coast (Venice), Greece, Spain, etc. The plague ended up killing half of the entire population of Europe]
Hindus Massacred by Islam
Koenard Elst in Negationism in India gives an estimate of 80 million Hindus killed in the total jihad against India. [Koenard Elst, Negationism in India, Voice of India, New Delhi, 2002, pg. 34.]
The country of India today is only half the size of ancient India, due to jihad. The mountains near India are called the Hindu Kush, meaning the "funeral pyre of the Hindus."
80 million Hindus + adjusted 320 million = 400 million Hindus
[UPDATE: According to reports from the 1899 in a statement made by Indian religious leader Swami Vivekananda quoting Muslim historian Firistha, Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus during an 800 year Muslim rule, bringing a population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. Firishta wrote the Tarikh-i Firishta and the Gulshan-i Ibrahim. If Muslims indeed slaughtered over 400 million people in India, the Muslim genocide around the world would exceed 890 million victims.
"When the Mohammedans first came we were said – I think on the authority of Ferishta, the oldest Mohammedan historian – to have been six hundred millions of Hindus. Now we are about two hundred millions.
— An interview of Swami Vivekananda, published in Prabuddha Bharat. April, 1899 and compiled under heading 'On the Bounds of Hinduism'.]
400 million Hindus
ALSO READ: Islamic India: The Biggest Holocaust in World History… Whitewashed from History Books
Buddhists Massacred by Islam
Buddhists do not keep up with the history of war. Keep in mind that in jihad only Christians and Jews were allowed to survive as dhimmis (servants to Islam); everyone else had to convert or die.
Jihad killed the Buddhists in Turkey, Afghanistan, along the Silk Route, and in India.
The total is roughly 10 million. [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-1.]
10 million Buddhists
Jews Massacred by Islam
Oddly enough there were not enough Jews killed in jihad to significantly affect the totals of the Great Annihilation. The jihad in Arabia was 100 percent effective, but the numbers were in the thousands, not millions.
After that, the Jews submitted and became the dhimmis (servants and second class citizens) of Islam and did not have geographic political power.
This gives a rough estimate of 669+ million killed by jihad.
Persians.
Muslims invaded and occupied the peace-loving Persians, the followers of Zorohaustra.
Christians in the Middle East.
Chinese during the mongul invasions.
Plus Muslims have slaughtered 11 million other Muslims since 1948 in addition to the 669million+ non-Muslims they have murdered over the centuries. How many Muslims they have murdered over 1,400 years is unknown.
590,000,000: THAT'S WAY MORE THAN STALIN, HITLER, MAO, POL POT, IDI AMIN (a Sunni Muslim), AND THE REST OF THE 20TH CENTURY'S GENOCIDAL SOCIALISTS! AND IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. THE KILLING BY MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD CONTINUES TO THIS DAY.
FOR GOOD REASONS, THE LEFT LOVES TO HATE THE SPANISH INQUISITION, THE KKK, AND THERE ARE EVEN GOOD ARGUMENTS AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE USA (THOUGH I SUPPORT IT!).
THE LEFT HAS NO PROBLEM CALLING THE SPANISH INQUISITION AND THE KKK AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BARBARIC.
SO WHY DON'T THEY CRITICIZE ISLAM – WHICH IS DEMONSTRABLY WORSE THAN ALL THREE COMBINED!?!?
IN FACT, NO IDEOLOGY HAS BEEN AS GENOCIDAL AS ISLAM…
NOR HAS ANY IDEOLOGY BEEN SO BLOODTHIRSTY FOR SO LONG. FOR CENTURIES…
NOR HAS ANY IDEOLOGY EVER BEEN AS ANTI-LIBERTY, ANTI-DEMOCRACY – OR AS ANTI-WOMAN.
IT'S TIME IT WAS STOPPED. FOR GOOD.
Muslim decapitation of 1.5-2 million Christians in Armenia. This genocide was marketed by the Grand Mufti al-Hussaini to Hitler and the Nazi's and adapted for the Jews – which ended up creating the holocaust. Prior to being associated with al-Husseini Hitler had not committed arrests or persecution of the Jewish people. The genocide was initiated after Hitler's association and collaboration with muslims and their jihad army offered as Nazi collaborators.

Mike Morgan / NPR
Steve Inskeep is a host of NPR's Morning Edition, as well as NPR's morning news podcast Up First.
Known for interviews with presidents and Congressional leaders, Inskeep has a passion for stories of the less famous: Pennsylvania truck drivers, Kentucky coal miners, U.S.-Mexico border detainees, Yemeni refugees, California firefighters, American soldiers.
Since joining Morning Edition in 2004, Inskeep has hosted the program from New Orleans, Detroit, San Francisco, Cairo, and Beijing; investigated Iraqi police in Baghdad; and received a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for "The Price of African Oil," on conflict in Nigeria. He has taken listeners on a 2,428-mile journey along the U.S.-Mexico border, and 2,700 miles across North Africa. He is a repeat visitor to Iran and has covered wars in Syria and Yemen.
Inskeep says Morning Edition works to "slow down the news," making sense of fast-moving events. A prime example came during the 2008 Presidential campaign, when Inskeep and NPR's Michele Norris conducted "The York Project," groundbreaking conversations about race, which received an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton for excellence.
Inskeep was hired by NPR in 1996. His first full-time assignment was the 1996 presidential primary in New Hampshire. He went on to cover the Pentagon, the Senate, and the 2000 presidential campaign of George W. Bush. After the Sept. 11 attacks, he covered the war in Afghanistan, turmoil in Pakistan, and the war in Iraq. In 2003, he received a National Headliner Award for investigating a military raid gone wrong in Afghanistan. He has twice been part of NPR News teams awarded the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton for coverage of Iraq.
On days of bad news, Inskeep is inspired by the Langston Hughes book, Laughing to Keep From Crying. Of hosting Morning Edition during the 2008 financial crisis and Great Recession, he told Nuvo magazine when "the whole world seemed to be falling apart, it was especially important for me ... to be amused, even if I had to be cynically amused, about the things that were going wrong. Laughter is a sign that you're not defeated."
Inskeep is the author of Instant City: Life and Death in Karachi, a 2011 book on one of the world's great megacities. He is also author of Jacksonland, a history of President Andrew Jackson's long-running conflict with John Ross, a Cherokee chief who resisted the removal of Indians from the eastern United States in the 1830s.
He has been a guest on numerous TV programs including ABC's This Week, NBC's Meet the Press, MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports, CNN's Inside Politics and the PBS Newshour. He has written for publications including The New York Times, Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic.
A native of Carmel, Indiana, Inskeep is a graduate of Morehead State University in Kentucky.

"Every day is uncertain. The only certain day was yesterday," he said.
The man who said every day is uncertain now faces an uncertain fate. And the man who so often spoke in public has not appeared in months. He recently missed scheduled TV appearances.
How Police Handled Pro-Trump Mob Compared With Protesters For Black Racial Justice
When a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, surprisingly few police stood in the way.

Global average temperature has also stayed constant over that time until the past 150 years. Due to the industrial revolution and discovery of fossil fuels the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has gone up considerably. These greenhouse…

Stability of Genetic and Environmental Effects from Adolescence to Young Adulthood: Results of Croatian Longitudinal Twin Study of Personality / Bratko, Denis ; Butković, Ana. - 151-157 str.
The primary aim of this study was to conduct a bivariate genetic analysis investigating the extent to which genetic and environmental factors contribute to stability and change in personality factors in the period from adolescence to young adulthood on a sample of Croatian twins. The sample used in this research was formed in 1992 based on a register of citizens of Zagreb and data was collected for 160 twin pairs (75 monozygotic and 85 dizygotic twin pairs). Twins were tested twice, 4 years apart with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (mean age at first time point was 17 years). Univariate analyses indicate that the best fitting model for extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism and lie scale at both time points includes additive genetic (A) and nonshared environmental (E) influences, with heritability stimates in the .40 to .50 range. Longitudinal analyses using AE correlated factors model ndicate that genetic factors contribute mainly to tability, while environmental factors contribute mainly to change in personality during that 4-year period of transition from adolescence to young adulthood.

# Foundation::Rails

Foundation::Rails is a gem to make it super easy to use Foundation in your upcoming Rails project. You can start using Foundation::Rails in your projects by following the instructions below.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    $ gem 'foundation-rails'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install foundation-rails

### Configuring Foundation

You can run the following command to add Foundation:

    $ rails g foundation:install

## Manual Installation

### Add Foundation to your CSS

Append the following line to your `app/assets/stylesheets/application.css` file:

    /*= require foundation */

If you're planning on using Sass, then you'll want to rename `application.css` to `application.scss`. That file should then look like:

    @import "foundation_and_overrides";
    /* Add imports of custom sass/scss files here */

### Add Foundation to your JS

Append the following lines to your `app/assets/javascripts/application.js` file:

    //= require foundation
    $(document).foundation();

### Add Modernizr

Make sure that Modernizr is included in the `<head>` of your page layout:

    javascript_include_tag "vendor/modernizr"

### Set Viewport Width

Add the following line to the `head` of your page layout:

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

## Usage

Run the generator to add foundation to the asset pipeline:

    rails g foundation:install [layout_name] [options]

    Options:
      [--haml]  # Generate HAML layout instead of erb
      [--slim]  # Generate Slim layout instead of erb
    Runtime options:
      -f, [--force]    # Overwrite files that already exist
      -p, [--pretend]  # Run but do not make any changes
      -q, [--quiet]    # Suppress status output
      -s, [--skip]     # Skip files that already exist
