A new report prepared for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control indicates that the innovative technology being tested in Wilmington’s A-Street Ditch cleanup pilot project continues to show promise. The report summarizes data collected one year after biologically-enhanced carbon pellets were applied to sediments in the ditch to clean up polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Conducted by the DNREC’s Watershed Approach to Toxics Assessment and Restoration (WATAR) program, the technology deployed in the A-Street Ditch project uses an activated carbon product (SediMite™) with the addition of PCB-destroying micro-organisms. The activated carbon sequesters PCBs and over time the micro-organisms degrade and destroy PCB molecules. A similar technology was successfully demonstrated in an earlier DNREC project at Mirror Lake in Dover. PCBs are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic legacy industrial compounds. They pose ecological and human health risks and are the largest contributor to fish consumption advisories issued periodically by DNREC and... Read more →

With so many different ink options available, it can be hard choosing the best type for your printer. However, before you blindly stick with genuine cartridges, take a moment to check out our advice and get the best ink replacement for printer machines possible. Don’t Buy Genuine Ink The first step in getting good ink is to avoid buying genuine ink cartridges.

The survey found it was largely millennials and particularly women shouldering the burden. How COVID-19 has Affected the Sandwich Generation The coronavirus is stretching both time and money thin for the Sandwich Generation, sometimes at the expense of their financial, physical...

Image by Wirestock The cost of prescription drugs in the US are continually rising. This has resulted in many consumers forgoing their medications. For example, insulin, a necessity for survival for Type 1 diabetes patients, has increased in price quadruple times. With this, consumers are left with hard choices—to buy or not to buy? The Rise of Prescription Drug Costs Health Affairs published a study in 2019 that examined the price list of brand-name and generic drugs. The data was from 2005 to 2016 based on a large pharmacy database. The study showed that newly developed drugs are to blame for most of the higher costs. However, the older brand-name drugs account for the largest price increase. Researchers found out that older brand-name drugs have increased yearly by more than 9% per annum. The study also stated that specialty drugs have also increased prices by around 13% to 21%. Furthermore,... Read more →

(CNB News)(January 25, 2021)--Back in the day when you could tell the make of a car just by looking at it, there was a period when the so-called Continental kit accessory became a customizing aftermarket appearance that gave the vehicles that distinct flair. This external spare wheel mount was seen during the 1950s and early 1960s. It enhanced the “long and low” look that was so popular at the time. Continental kits and Imperial trunk bumps made a brief reappearance in the 1980s “pimpmobiles,” along with faux Rolls Royce Grilles, chrome wire wheels, and padded fabric top treatments. Contemporary examples of Continental kits are sometimes found on customized automobiles or fully-accessorized restorations from that era. It has become an iconic, retro accessory that typifies the style of the mid-1950s. source “That Tire On The Back:” By Rick Feibusch Read more Images below submitted by Bonnie F. Read more →
