As a Kokanee angler I'm always on the hunt for water bodies that offer elite Kokanee fishing. In British Columbia we don't have to look too far. The BC Cariboo Region is home to over 30 plus lakes that offer outstanding Kokanee fishing, but the 2 lakes that outshine them all are Bridge and Deka Lake. Over the past 20 years the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC (FFSBC) along with the Ministry has stocked close to 14 million Kokanee in the Cariboo Region which has now grown into a reputable world class Kokanee fishery!
For years I've wanted to explore these lakes to discover for myself if the tales of these lakes do actually indeed meet up to these expectation. Needless to say, I was not let down as my expectations were fully exceeded. In my own opinion and as an experienced dedicated Kokanee angler, the Kokanee found in the Cariboo region are like no other. The fish are very aggressive in nature and deliver aerobatic-tale walking fights when hooked. The water temperatures are much cooler but yet an abundance of forage is available for these fish which make for a healthy stock. The fish found in these lakes aren't so long in length as they are fat in girth and wide in the shoulders. The colours of these fish are blue back silver that are second to none. The best way I can explain it is that these Kokanee are the Rocky Balboa's of the Kokanee world!
Bridge and Deka Lake are found in the heart of the BC Cariboo next to the quant community of Lone Butte, which is only a quick 2 hour drive north of Kamloops. The Lone Butte community offers hospitality like no other as they are very welcoming to visitors.
Fishing these northern – higher elevation lakes can be much different than pursuing Kokanee in your traditional warmer water bodies found in southern BC and the Pacific Northwest regions. The average weather temperatures in the Cariboo are much less than say the Okanagan or Lower Mainland areas. The water temperatures reflect the cooler weather and are much colder allowing Kokanee to cruise easily throughout the water column of the lakes. Majority of the fishing season except for the July to September, the fish won't be found stacked up within a tight thermocline of water. In late June the upper mixed layer of the lake can be less than 60F. This means the Kokanee are comfortable to cruise at their own leisure in a range of depths due to the water being less stratified.
The important thing to note when fishing these lakes is that the Kokanee are still Kokanee and have the same needs. Just like any other salmon species they require food while trying to expend the least amount of energy as possible. The main diet of these Cariboo Kokanee is still Zooplankton, but they will forage upon small insect hatches when the opportunity presents itself. It's not abnormal to catch a Kokanee that has been devouring chironomids. During my experience fishing these lakes the Kokanee are not consistently found in the predictable mid water column sections of the lake. These fish will move from being suspended over deep water to hold within currents and wind seems off points and other pieces of structure. Sometimes they will even be found hugging the bottom in 65 feet of water feeding on a deep water chironomid hatch.
When approaching these lakes it's vital to pay attention to environmental conditions. If the wind is pushing strong to the south end of the lake against a point, look for the seam in the water that is generated by the piece of structure. These seams can also be created by 2 different directions of winds meeting in the middle of the lake. Food will be pushed together in these zones and the Kokanee will hold in this vicinity. The best way to identify these seams is that the surface will appear to be smooth of waves or a line of foam will be found.
Trusting your electronics is very important when fishing these lakes. There will be times that fish will not mark on the sonar no matter how much water is covered. This is a tell tail sign that the fish are holding in the upper 20 feet of water. As the boat cruises over top of the fish the Kokanee will push off to the side before the sonar cone can pick them up. When this happens it's important to run setbacks on your gear at a minimum of 100 feet behind the boat. Using side planers will also put the odds in your favour. These Cariboo Kokanee do seem to be very boat shy. If the fish are found on the surface be sure not to use heavy tackle such as large metal gang trolls that will sink under the fish.
If you're going to make the trip to these lakes I recommend coming prepared with an assortment of tackle. These fish can be extremely fickle in their selection. One moment they will hit a pink hoochie then minutes later you can't buy a bite with the same lure, but then a small UV spoon will work. The same goes for trolling speeds and lure actions. The fish will hit at 1.4mph troll then they will change to a faster reaction hit at a 1.8mph troll. Keeping this in mind using a "tune-able" dodger like the Mack's Lure UV Sling Blade Dodger works incredibly well as you can bend the dodger to adapt to a variety of trolling speeds and levels of action. We found the 4 inch UV Sling Blades to produce best. There is a high predation rate in these lakes due to an abundance of Lake Trout, so keeping your dodger profile small will avoid mimicking a threat to the Kokanee. Tying short 8 to 10 inch leaders when the water temp is greater than 50F will increase your hook up ratio as these larger Kokanee tend to like more of an aggressive presentation.
Humdinger Spoons in UV Blue & Silver, Purple and Pink – tied with short 8 inch leaders are dynamite!
In the spring periods using live pink maggots is a local favorite and they do produce results, especially when the Kokanee are feeding in on insect hatches. As the water temp warms into mid-May switching to baits such as cured & dyed krill or white shoepeg corn is extremely effective. Popular Pro-Cure scents for these lakes are Kokanee Super Sauce, Kokanee Special, Krill/Shrimp Gel, Krill Oil and Bloody Tuna Garlic.
You can find these products and scents at Lone Butte Sporting Goods along Hwy 24, the perfect pit stop before hitting the lakes!
Bridge Lake is a unique lake that offers an abundance of small islands and coves that make for excellent fishing hot spots. The surface area of the lake is 1371 hectares with a max depth of approx. 150 feet and the average mean depth averages around 55 feet. Over the past 10 years the lake has been stocked with over 1.3 Million Diploid Kokanee (130,000 average each year). There is a small provincial campground off of Hwy 24 that also provides a boat launch. The other access to the lake is the boat launch found off of Bell Road from Hwy 24, then connect onto Johnson Rd, the launch will be located on your right.
Not only can you catch Kokanee in Bridge, but it offers fishing for Rainbow Trout that can reach 5lbs + and Lake Trout that can push over 20lbs!
Hot spots on this lake are the north side of the island in the about 70 to 90 feet of water right along the ledges. Trolling perpendicular to the sun in the mornings and later afternoons will help produce enough flash to attract cruising fish from a far. Feed can also gather within the small coves in 50+ feet of water and Kokanee will hold in these areas. Be sure to keep an eye on depths on this lake as there are many shoals that quickly shoot out into the lake.
Deka Lake is really broken up into 2 sections as referred to by the locals, Big Deka and Little Deka. The area in which you launch from is Little Deka. The 2 sections of the lake are connected by a narrow channel that is only a few feet deep of water. This channel is marked off with marker buoys to aid in boat navigation; follow the markers and you'll be fine to pass through. All of Deka Lake's surface area is 1153 hectares with a max depth of approx. 300 feet and the average mean depth is 70 feet. The deepest portions of the lake can be found in the Big Deka section of the lake. Little Deka has numerous cottage like homes that hug the lake where as Big Deka has one small private camp at the north end. The large section of the lake cannot be accessed by vehicle, only by boat. There are a variety of small boat launches that can be found along the shoreline of the Little Deka section of the lake. Be very cautious on weather and winds when pursuing Big Deka as winds can pick up very quickly. Lower powered boats can have challenges in poor weather as there is very few areas on the lake to get out of the winds. Little Deka is an excellent option for smaller boats.
The lake is managed as one fishery. The FFSBC & Ministry have stocked over 1.5 Million Kokanee in the past 10 years in Deka Lake. (Recent average of 135,000 Kokanee per year) The lake was once stocked with triploids but now primarily diploid Kokanee are stocked. There is no established camping site along this lake but there are many other accommodations nearby such as Hathaway Lake Resort which is only a couple minutes away.
Little Deka Lake seems to produce fish a bit smaller fish than Big Deka, however the average size is still pushing 2lbs +. Big Deka is known for producing Kokanee over 4lbs! The average size fish in Big Deka is around 2.5lbs+, but it's not uncommon to hook into multiple 3lbs fish as part of your daily limit.
Fishing hot spots on Little Deka are near the coves on the north end of the lake in the pocket of 70 feet of water just before you head up the channel to the upper section of the lake. Areas on Big Deka that can produce nice fish are along the points and ledges of the north end of the lake. That being said, we've found Kokanee throughout the lake so some hunting is required to track down the bigger fish.
Fishing the Cariboo Region of BC is a very surreal experience! You literally have hundreds of lakes to choose from that offer incredible fishing opportunities. The biggest challenge that you will be faced with is deciding which lake to fish.

White Delaware Police Captain Cries Racial Discrimination After Black Officer Is Promoted to Police Chief Instead of Him
A Delaware police captain claims he was passed over for a promotion to police chief because of his race. Now he's suing for discrimination.
Dover Police Capt. David Spicer, who's white, filed a federal lawsuit Oct. 16 after his discrimination and retaliation complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was dismissed this summer, local station WBOC-TV reported. The motion also included a right to sue.
The suit names several defendants, including the city of Dover, which Spicer alleges wrongfully discriminated against him when it promoted former Deputy Chief Marvin Mailey, who's Black, to police chief in 2017 instead of him.
Mailey has since retired, and a search for his replacement is underway, according to the outlet.
In his complaint, Spicer argues he was better qualified than Mailey and that he had more education, experience and training. The cop also pointed to his bachelor's degree in criminal justice and his master's in administration of justice.
"Plaintiff was more qualified than Marvin Mailey for the Chief of Police Position," the lawsuit reads, alleging Mailey doesn't hold any degrees and was only selected for the role because he's African-American. However, a search of Mailey's LinkedIn profile shows earned a bachelor of science in criminal justice between 2015 and 2019.
He was promoted to police chief in 2017.
Spicer's complaint further claims "the Plaintiff was not selected as Chief of Police because of his race" and accuses the defendants of violating federal and state laws against discrimination.

Additionally, he cites a 2017 job posting published in the Delaware State News that said a bachelor's degree with a master's degree preferred was required for the position. However, Dover city officials insisted the job description was posted by the paper by mistake and that the listing only served as a draft, not an official document, according to WBOC-TV.
Officials finalized the job description the following month, keeping the existing requirements used to hire past police chiefs.
Among those named in the suit are Dover Mayor Robin Christiansen, three Dover council members, City Manager Donna Mitchell, and Mailey, who declined to comment on the complaint.
Christiansen, who tapped Mailey for police chief after a recommendation from a selection committee, said officials used the proper process in hiring Mailey as the top cop.
"The process was as pristine as we could make it and council passed it unanimously," he told WBOC-TV in a phone interview.
According to court documents, Spicer is requesting a jury trial, as well as punitive and compensatory damages. He has since applied for the now-vacant chief position.

Thunder get tough with Grizzlies
(Photo by Sam Murch)
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City needed a win. The last time out the Thunder were blown off their home court by 28 points.
That didn't sit well with Russell Westbrook, who said his team was outplayed. The all-star point guard was going to make sure that wasn't going to happen again any time soon.
Racking up his 25th triple-double of the season, Westbrook led the Thunder to 114-102 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Knowing how important the game was, Westbrook said his team had to strike first and often.
"Especially after last game when you lose and get outplayed," Westbrook said. "Tonight we came out and were the more physical team. Set the tone in that aspect. We were physical, came out and hit first in a grind-it-out game."
Westbrook racked up 38 points, 12 assists and 13 rebounds. That included scoring the final 15 points for Oklahoma City.
Steven Adams had 16 points for the Thunder. Joffrey Lauvergne came off the bench to score 16 points as the Oklahoma City improved to 29-22 and ended a three-game losing streak.
Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies with 31 points and eight assists. Mike Conley added 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting from the field as Memphis fell to 30-22 and ended a three-game win streak.
"It's disappointing," Conley said. "This is a big game for us, not just because it's OKC, but the schedule, the standings. These games matter for us.
"At the end of the year, you never know where you will be. We know OKC is going to be right there with us. These game was definitely matter."
With 4:20 left in the fourth quarter, Lauvergne drained a 3-pointer to cut Grizzlies' lead to 98-96. But Gasol came back with an off-balance shot to put Memphis up by four.
Anthony Morrow buried a 3-pointer to cut deficit to 100-99. After a Conley missed shot, Lauvergne rebounded. But Memphis forward Zach Randolph stole it from him and it led to a layup.
Westbrook was fouled by Tony Allen shooting a 3-pointer. Westbrook hit all three free throws to tie the score at 103.
"I knew it was going to be a million pick-and-rolls and he came off a lot of them," Allen said of guarding Westbrook. "He was running and gunning. I thought I did a good job for the most part, until he got cooking."
On the next possession, Westbrook faked out his defender and buried a 3-pointer. Oklahoma City led 105-102.
But Westbrook wasn't done. The Thunder came up with another stop and he hit another dagger 3-pointer to put Oklahoma City up 108-102 with 1:25 left.
The Grizzlies couldn't respond on the other end and Westbrook closed out the night at the free throw line as the Thunder fans chanted MVP.
"It's a blessing," Westbrook said. "I am very thankful to be here in Oklahoma City playing for these fans and playing the game I love."
Even though Westbrook struggled with his shot to start the game, he was only three rebounds and two assists from a triple-double in the first half.
It was the rest of the Oklahoma City lineup that picked up the slack in scoring. The combination of Andre Roberson, Morrow, Adams and Lauvergne combined for 33 points on 14-of-18 shooting in the first half as the Thunder led 58-48.
In the third quarter, it was the Grizzlies' turn to put forth a balanced attack. Led by Gasol, Conley and Chandler Parsons, Memphis went on a run to get back into the game. They led 82-80 heading into the fourth quarter.
As stellar of a defender as Adams is, he had no answer for Gasol. With Gasol's ability to knock down step back jumpers and pass out of the post, Adams was at his mercy in second half.
But it wasn't enough to slow down Westbrook once he got going.
"You just have to keep defending him and make him take and make tough shots," Conley said. "Honestly, I thought we made him take tough shots. He just made a lot of them. That's just what he does."

Purdue leaves no doubt in shocking upset of No. 2 Iowa behind Aidan O'Connell, David Bell
Scooby Axson
Aidan O'Connell threw for 375 yards and had three total touchdowns and David Bell had 240 yards receiving as Purdue ruined another team's championship aspirations beating No. 2 Iowa 24-7 and snapping the Hawkeyes' 12-game winning streak.
The Boilermakers have made a habit of beating teams ranked second in the polls. Purdue beat Ohio State 48-20 in 2018 as a three-touchdown underdog when the Buckeyes were ranked No. 2, a loss that ultimately kept them out of the College Football Playoff.
The Boilermakers opened the scoring on a 6-yard touchdown run by O'Connell. Iowa got the equalizer on a three-yard TD by Ivory Kelly-Martin, with Purdue taking the lead for good 19 seconds before halftime on a TJ Sheffield 3-yard touchdown catch.
Iowa entered the game leading the nation in turnovers and turnover margin giving their offense, ranked last in the Big 10 in total yards, constant momentum and short fields.
The Hawkeyes gained six yards in the third quarter and its defense which had given up an average of only 274 yards before this game, surrendered 464 to Purdue. Iowa managed just 271 yards of offense and committed four turnovers, all on interceptions thrown by Spencer Petras, who was also sacked four times.
Bell, who had 11 catches on Saturday, continued to his run of success against Iowa and his 21-yard over-the-shoulder TD catch early in the fourth quarter provided the final scoring margin.
In 2019, Bell had 13 catches for 197 yards and one touchdown and in last year's victory over the Hawkeyes, he had 121 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
Combined with not being able to generate easy points via turnovers and its offensive struggles, Iowa's path to the Big Ten West title is not as secure as originally thought. The Hawkeyes are off next week and then hit the road for games at Wisconsin and Northwestern and close out the season with contests against Minnesota, Illinois and Nebraska.

TOTD: Intellect – "Then There Were Two"
"Then There Were Two" has been nominated for best hiphop song for this year's Independent Music Awards, and I can see why. The beat is immediately so captivating, with the interesting use of ghostly vocals and I love the inclusion of horns here and there, especially at the end. Intellect claims this is the song that turned the whole album on it's head (the whole album is wonderful by the way, I have a copy at home, you should too). This song is a conversation between the artist and hip-hop, who he has given feminine qualities. During the chorus you can see him asking for just a few minutes to talk to hip-hop. He seems to want to both revive and evolve hip-hop and it's direction, and I think he's fully accomplished that with this song and album. I love his flow change up around 1:45. This track shows the best of Intellect, and I can see why this was the turning point of the album. I hope he can "live forever through these verses" in all of your ears.

As I've briefly mentioned in my previous blogpost, I will soon give 2 ceramic workshops. They are organised by the culture department of the city of Landen.
The first workshops is for kids, on Wednesday 14 February, from 14h until 17h. We will make our own breadboard with an unique spoon. The children will learn different ceramic techniques and also color their own work.They will be challenged to use their imagination and fantasy in making a personal breadboard and spoon. I will bake and glaze the works afterwards so it will be ready to be used at home. When I've finished the baking it can be picked up at the culture department at the city hall.
More information about the workshop here. If you would like to participate, you can send an email to cultuur@landen.be.
The next workshop is for adults, on Wednesday 25 April, from 19h until 22h. We will also make a breadboard and a little lovely spoon. The participants will have the opportunity to use their own style to decorate the breadboard and make a personal spoon. A lot of nature finds, stamps, textured fabrics, … will be available to use.
More information about the adult workshop here.

I have to make up my own standardized questions for a project, and I wanted to make sure I did my math right. Can someone please check it? Thanks!!
If your mass was 60 kg, the earth's mass was 6×10^24 kg, the radius of the earth was 6.4×10^6 meters, and the universal gravitational constant was equal to 6.67×10^-11 N∙sqm/kg^2, what is the force of gravity between you and the earth?
I got about 586.23 N. Is this right?
F = G(first mass × second mass)/distance squared if you were wondering it.
Janet took a standardized test that contained 328 questions. She answered 75% of the questions. How many questions did she answer?

Bellezas al agua fue un programa de televisión, versión española del italiano Bellezze al bagno de Canale 5, emitido por Telecinco en los veranos de 1990, 1992 y 1993. Como la mayoría de los espacios emitidos por la cadena, entonces dirigida por Valerio Lazarov, importaba los formatos de la programación de la cadena homónima italiana, igualmente participada por Silvio Berlusconi.

Mecánica
Inspirado en el concurso Juegos sin fronteras, se trataba de un concurso en el que los participantes debían superar diversas pruebas de agilidad siempre en el medio acuático. Entre las pruebas estaba la denominada Beso bajo el agua, en la que los concursantes debían besarse sumergidos en la piscina, ganando aquellos que fueran capaces de permanecer más tiempo.

El programa se completaba con actuaciones musicales y números humorísticos.

Equipos
 Primera temporada: España, Francia, Alemania e Italia.
 Segunda temporada: España, Suiza, Alemania e Italia.
 Tercera temporada: España, Suiza, Portugal e Italia.

Presentadores
 Primera etapa (verano de 1990): Norma Duval y Francisco Cecilio.
 Segunda etapa (verano de 1992): Andoni Ferreño, Natalia Estrada, Inma Brunton y Kike Supermix.
 Tercera etapa (verano de 1993): Agustín Bravo, Loreto Valverde, Vaitiare Bandera y Kike Supermix.

Curiosidades
 En 1991-1992 se emitió la versión invernal: Bellezas en la nieve.

 Al igual que su homólogo italiano, el programa se grababa desde el Aquaria Park de la localidad italiana de Cervia, excepto la última etapa emitida desde Bellaria.

SOCCER: Lee Glover is hoping to be fully fit for pre-season training after undergoing a hernia operation last week.
Glover missed the start of the one-week training programme organised by manager David Moss for this week to concentrate on getting fit for July 3, when players will report back for 2002/3.
Moss said: "Lee's not going to train until later in the week, and even then it will be very, very light stuff.
"But he should be okay for pre-season."
Glover last week agreed a one-year extension to his contract to keep him at the Moss Rose.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Will this Daytona 500 be the Roughhouse 500, as NASCAR boss Brian France appears to want?
Well, if the first two hours of SpeedWeeks practice are any indication, yes.
Two crashes in Thursday Shootout practice for Saturday night's sprint put more than a little edge on things here.
And teams are already pulling out backup cars.
It could be a very long SpeedWeeks.
But for Greg Biffle, hey, this stuff is like good red meat – he relished the challenge.
With the reputation as the fastest man in NASCAR, Greg Biffle carries a lot on his shoulders.
A winless 2009 didn't help things.
Twice now Biffle has come so close to winning the Sprint Cup championship.
And as last season's dry spell dragged on, Biffle's attitude dragged too, noticeably. Here during Media Day it was hard to read his attitude heading into Saturday's Shootout. But suffice it to say he's got an attitude about things right now, and you might want to give him the spot out there on the track if he's got a run on you.
Biffle's run at Talladega last fall, just after NASCAR's Mike Helton had issued firm warnings against bump-drafting there, showed that he's not willing to give up an inch. Biffle bumped-drafted through much of that race, without penalty.
Will Biffle again here be the guy to test NASCAR's limits on aggressive driving?
"Yeah, I'm going to test it," Biffle says, almost defiantly. "I'm going to push until somebody spins out. That's the only way to find out.
"We all know what the limits are. Now that NASCAR has said 'We're not going to be the limit,' the limit becomes when the guy in front of you spins out. When you push him too much.
"So we have to regulate that ourselves.
"Just like at Talladega (two years ago) when (teammate) Carl (Edwards) spun me out (with a little excessive bump-shot) in the middle of the corner, and we wrecked a bunch of cars. That was the limit. NASCAR wasn't enforcing the no bump-drafting, and we all wrecked. So we know that's the limit.
"Now we don't have to worry about NASCAR, we can just ride on that limit."
Which Biffle says makes him more comfortable.....well, with most of it. "I may be a little more nervous with some of the other people I'm going to be racing with; they don't maybe quite know what the limit is.
"We test the limit every lap, whether we're at California or Vegas. But when you talk about testing the limit at a restrictor plate track, that's different. Testing the limit becomes 'How much can you push that guy in front of you?'
"And the limit becomes when he takes off upside-down. That's the limit.
"There's going to be more action, because people are going to be testing that limit and pushing more. So it's going to be a little bit
more aggressive....and inevitably maybe another accident or two along the way."
Biffle turned out to be prescient – Shootout practice was less than an hour old Thursday when Mark Martin and Denny Hamlin triggered a crash.
"It's going to work," Biffle said of the 'hands-off' approach NASCAR says it will take here, "because the self-police part is until that guy in front of you spins out or somebody causes a wreck.
"The idea is to push the guy in front of you...until something happens.
"That's what racing is about."
More bump-drafting isn't the only new part of the Daytona 500 equation. NASCAR has given drivers the biggest restrictor plate in 20 years.
"To try and give us a little more throttle response...to give us more bump-drafting and let us police it," Biffle says.
And later this spring NASCAR will switch from the rear wing to a the old-style flat-blade rear spoiler, which Biffle says "is going to turn this world around.
"I drove the car at Texas with a (blade) spoiler on it, and the car acts completely different.
"Now I was by myself. Maybe when you get other cars around it'll be the same (as now, with the wing), I don't know.
"But when I put the spoiler on I felt it was different. It turns better on corner-exit. That's what these cars need, and I think it'll make the racing a lot better."
But the Daytona 500 will be run with the current wing.
Aggressive driving? "I can't wait to strap in and go. That's what this is going to be about," Biffle says.
"Now keep in mind Daytona has been very hard to bump-draft in the corner, because the corners are really rough (and bumpy). You can watch the cars in the corner, and the car moves up and down a lot. So we never really bump-drafted in the corner here that much.
"We could at Talladega because Talladega is like a piece of glass."
But there is considerable bump-drafting at Daytona on the straights, and the trioval may be the most tricky spot for that here. That's where there were two crashes during Thursday evening Shootout practice.
The extra horsepower from the larger plates will also change some driving tactics, Biffle says: "Closing rates are going to be more.
"They've put a little bit more drag in the car, so the car (with larger plates) is going to have a lot more acceleration. You're going to be able to push the guy better because you're going to have more throttle. So when you get behind a guy, and not have that air on you, but have more power, you'll be able to push better."
Of course a big part of the season's game plan for Biffle and crew chief Greg Erwin is to get their cars fast enough through the corners at the tour's many tracks to be able to challenge Jimmie Johnson for the title.
"We've got a little more downforce on the car, maybe 10, 20 or 30 pounds of downforce...we found a front geometry that creates a little more jacking force....we have revolutionized into a newer, better bump-stop....we've been working hard on our pit crew...we've got the (new) FR9 Ford engine coming along," Biffle says. "You take all those things and we say that's what's going to beat Jimmie Johnson this year."
And if not....
"Find him in a dark alley?" Biffle replies.


Since brick is an exposed surface, they become very vulnerable to many natural elements such as the sun, rain, snow, mold, mildew, algae, smoke, bird droppings, and dust. At first, we may not think too much of these elements as being a problem, but they soon impact the appearance of your home and structure. Also, if these elements remain untreated for long periods of time, they can essentially cause material erosion. The longer the time you leave it untreated, the older it will appear to look and be harder to remove all natural elements. Even though you may feel as you can pressure wash your own brick because it seems as an easy task, the truth is that you can still risk scaring and damaging your brick. It is imperative that low pressure is used when washing brick, so this is why trained professionals should care for your brick. At Affordable Pressure Wash Solutions, not only do we walk you through the process, but we provide superb service to your home and other brick structures. Please call us to learn more about our softwash method and how it can make an spectacular difference in your home.

8 High-Risk Cities That Are Sinking At An Alarming Rate
Jul 19, 2019 10:59pm EDT
Global warming is real and it's effects are being felt in many countries across the world. We've all witnessed this in recent years. Natural calamities such as flooding seem to be getting worse – plus they're happening more frequently.
Of course, some areas are more vulnerable to flooding than others. Such can be said about these 8 cities, which have been mentioned by experts as among those that are experiencing severe flood because of their sinking rate.
#1. Houston
Case in point, an MNN feature described Houston's topography as "naturally precarious" mainly because of rising sea levels.
To make matters worse, a lot of people are always affected whenever floods strike since the Houston is the fourth city with the biggest population in the United States.
According to reports, the region of Houston-Galveston has "sunk a total of 105.9 inches over the decades" so that's really alarming. Moreover, the city's northwestern area sinks about 2 inches every year.
The website further tells us that the Houston-Galveston region "has sunk a total of 105.9 inches over the decades" with the city's northwestern sections sinking "at a rate of roughly 2 inches per year."
#2. Jakarta
In 2018, a BBC report has named Jakarta as the "fastest-sinking city in the world" as it sinks about 10 inches (25 centimeters) every year in some areas. The same article tells us that experts are actually expecting that around 95% of the city's northern area "will be submerged" by 2050 if no action is taken.
That, of course, is a terrible news considering that Jakarta has a population of over 10 million people.
#3. Bangkok
Meanwhile, over at Thailand, its capital city is likewise facing serious flooding problems as it sinks a little under an inch each year. To put it plainly, Bangkok is "already largely under sea level," said Greenpeace' Tara Buakamsri.
The situation is even made worse by the towering skyscrapers so it looks like the sinking rate wouldn't be stopped anytime soon.
#4. London
London's problem with sinking can be blamed to several factors, namely water extraction and poor planning. Moreover, climate change is making matters worse as the biggest "threat multiplier," said Dr Kat Kramer of Christian Aid.
On top of that, it could likewise be said that the city's sinking is "a result of the weight of the glaciers pressing down on Scotland 11,000 years ago," Kramer added.
#5. Shanghai
Similar to other cities on this list, the weight of modern structures and excessive water extraction are making Shanghai sink as the weight of massive buildings drags the city down. The problem also isn't getting any better because of water extraction. The good thing about it, however, is that they're doing something to address the concern.
According to a World Economic Forum report, China's biggest city (and also one of the world's most flood-prone cities) built huge protective seawalls spanning across Hangzhou Bay and encircling Changxing, Chongming, and Hengsha. They're also utilizing mechanical gates to minimize the river overflow.
#6. Manila
One of the worst floods to ever hit Manila happened in 2009 when Typhoon Ketsana (local name Ondoy) submerged the Philippine capital, along with different parts of Luzon, causing the country over a billion dollar in damages.
Fast forward to the present and the sad reality is that Manila is still at great risk as it sinks rapidly at about 4 inches every year.
#7. Lagos
Another city that's suffering from rising seas because of groundwater extraction and saturated drainage systems is Lagos. According to Kramer, "a sea level rise of 20cm could cause 740,000 people to lose their homes" across the country.
The largest city in Nigeria, Lagos has an estimated population of 21 million and is listed as the 10th most vulnerable coastal city, a Medium report said.
#8. Dhaka
One of the world's most densely populated cities, Bangladeshi capital Dhaka has been labeled as a "dysfunctional megacity" in Guardian article. It also often makes it to the top spot of "least liveable cities" because of its problems.
