Synagro Seeks to Locate in Plainfield Material Made by Synagro
by Larry Cory
Synagro, a nationally known company that converts sludge into usable products, wants to build a plant near Waste Management in Plainfield Township. Long before man developed indoor plumbing, he excreted his waste outdoors. These waste products along with others from animals, decomposed naturally in the soil or water through the action of microorganisms. Today, with indoor plumbing, sewer systems and waste treatment plants, the accumulation of sludge (biosolids) has become a problematic residue of progress. How and where do we dispose of our waste? Synagro converts that sludge into materials that can be applied to the soil. Those materials then decompose the same as always by naturally occurring microorganisms. The nutrients then can be absorbed by plants. This initiates a cycle in which plants become food producers by combining the nutrients with energy from the sun in a process known as photosynthesis. The energy is passed on through a food chain of consumers which release their waste into the soil where the cycle continues. GKEDC The Green Knight Economic Development Corporation, located near Waste Management and near the proposed Synagro site, wants to facilitate Synagro’s operation. GKEDC is a “not-for-profit gas-to-energy plant with a mission of stimulating economic development, and supporting local non-profit organizations providing social services within the communities of Pen Argyl, Wind Gap, and Plainfield Township.” GKEDC, incidentally, was a major contributor to the Slate Belt YMCA. Since its construction in 2000, "it has always been GKEDC’s desire and intent to find a user for the valuable waste heat exhausted from the center’s turbines." During 2016, Synagro and GKEDC investigated the viability of utilizing this waste heat to convert biosolids (sludge) into a safe, higher value-added Class A product (pellets) that can be used by a broader base of consumers for renewable energy and organic fertilizers. The selected technology captures the waste heat (via heat exchangers) to dry dewatered biosolids from the Tri-State area (15-25% solids/75-85% water) into a Class A marketable dried (92% solids) pellet. Feasibility After extensive engineering studies, it has been determined that the permitting and construction of a biosolids drying facility is feasible, and would meet environmental and regulatory goals to safely and effectively recycle biosolids into a new end-product for consumers in the Tri-State market area. The design, permitting and construction process is expected to take approximately two years to complete. Public Opposition Synagro, however, has incurred opposition in some places in the country and is finding the same in the Slate Belt. Some folks are worried about chemicals that may contaminate the sludge and that can’t be completely eliminated from the final products. Director of Regulatory and Legislative Affairs Layne Baroldi and Senior Project Engineer Bala Vairavan, both from Synagro, admit that they can’t eliminate all the contaminants, but they can reduce them to a harmless level. Other people are concerned about foul odors, increased truck traffic, and other environmental issues. Comment Form is loading comments...

Monopoly Maker Hasbro Begins Voting for New Game Pieces
PAWTUCKET, R.I., (UPI) -- Rhode Island-based game maker Hasbro is asking the Internet to vote on new game pieces for the latest edition of Monopoly -- and none of the original pieces are safe.
The Pawtucket-based company launched voting Tuesday on VoteMonopoly.com,allowing Internet users to vote on which eight game pieces will make it into the next edition of the game.
The company said none of the current eight pieces -- Scottie dog, top hat, car, thimble, boot, wheelbarrow, battleship, and cat -- are safe in the voting, which also includes 56 potential new pieces.
The proposed new pieces include emojis, a dinosaur, a hashtag, a flip-flop, a TV, an early-1990s-style cellphone, and a desktop controller.
The voting is scheduled to last through Jan. 31, and the winning pieces are expected to be announced on March 19 for World Monopoly Day.

Four Real Life Ways Technology is Transforming the Present and the Future
(BPT) - Smartphones keep people constantly connected, smart cars can drive and park themselves, and smart buildings are designed to use less energy as they keep everyone occupying them comfy and productive. Of course you think you know how technology is revolutionizing everyday life. But do you really understand that tech now touches everything?
Technology's influence on modern life may be even greater than you realize. Here are four ways technology could transform your life at home and at work:
1. Home life
Technology is making homes "smarter" and more connected. You may already have a smart thermostat in your home that adjusts the temperature automatically and learns your patterns and preferences to provide you with maximum comfort for minimum energy expenditure. But wouldn't you like to be able to control that thermostat - or the lights, alarm and blinds - from your office using your smartphone? Wouldn't it be great if you could ask your refrigerator whether you need milk so you can pick it up on your way home from work?
The technology to do all those things already exists and is becoming more commonplace. BI Intelligence predicts that by 2020, 193 million smart home devices will be shipped. The devices will range from smart clothes washers and dryers to alarm system components, energy equipment like thermostats, and smart lighting.
2. Safer roadways
The leading factors that lead to car crashes have one thing in common - they all involve a human being behind the wheel. Data compiled by the Auto Insurance Center found bad driving behaviors like failure to yield right of way, not staying in the proper lane and reckless or careless driving were leading causes of accidents.
Emerging technology aims to reduce the element of human error. Connected cars use wireless technology for a range of purposes, from navigation to remote monitoring and control and even managing vehicle systems. Expected to enhance the driver's experience, all new passenger cars sold in 2025 will be connected, according to the 2015 study, "Connected vehicle-Succeeding with a disruptive technology," from Accenture Strategy.
3. Less time in doctor's offices
Every time you visit a doctor's office or stay in a hospital, many costs are incurred. Co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles cost you cash, plus you could lose valuable work time. Insurance companies pay for covered services, while visits to the hospital or doctor's office costs health care providers costly staff hours. Technologies such as remote health monitoring and diagnostics can help trim costs and deliver care.
Remote monitoring uses a variety of devices (monitors) to help patients and doctors keep tabs on important health indicators, such as blood pressure or blood sugar levels. It can help physicians provide health care while incurring fewer costs associated with missed appointments and hospital readmissions, notes the Deloitte University Press.
4. Safer senior years
As they grow older, many people find they need help at home in order to remain independent. Assisted living facilities aim to give seniors basic in-home care, such as help with taking medications. Technology is now available to help seniors who remain at home, including fall detection sensors and activity monitors to interactive food logs, and symptom tracking to machines that help automate wound care and physical therapy.
Devices ranging from sensors and environmental controls to vehicles that are connected through the internet are some aspects of the Internet of Things, and it's a network that continues to grow, which could make tech skills more desirable.
DeVry University, which was founded in 1931 with an emphasis on technology, offers degree programs that focus on information technology and computer sciences. DeVry has put technology at the core of its business, tech and health care programs.

3 Sneaky Tricks of Heart Disease
(BPT) - As Americans, our health is far from perfect, but over the decades, we've seen great improvements to medical care and lived longer lives. But new health data in a recent report might shake up our complacency: The federal government finds that life expectancy for Americans has dropped for the first time in 25 years.
Though the factors are varied and complex, it has health experts and doctors taking a hard look at the current realities, including our rising obesity rate and the fact doctors may be reaching their limit on what they can do to treat heart disease.
"The report, though troubling to any family doctor, can be used as the basis of a wake-up call to anyone to improve their health," says Andrew Manganaro, MD, FACC, FACS, Chief Medical officer for Life Line Screening. "That is especially true for those who have been diagnosed with a risk factor for heart disease."
Manganaro urges patients ages 55 and older to be proactive with their heart health by scheduling regular doctor visits and following their doctor's instructions. In addition, he recommends making regular cardiovascular screenings a part of your wellness routine.
Not convinced you need a screening? These three realities of cardiovascular health might change your mind.
1. Heart disease is often silent.
Problems with the cardiovascular system can creep in gradually. Fully 80 percent - 4 out of 5 - of people who have a stroke have no symptoms beforehand. High blood pressure, high cholesterol and coronary artery disease are often silent, partly because the warning signs are not what most people expect. Symptoms are less obvious, such as a headache, shortness of breath or pain in the jaw. Even if you are already taking steps to manage your risk factors, a screening will give you and your doctor a picture of the health of your cardiovascular system.
2. Minor conditions are easy to ignore.
Even if your screening doesn't reveal you're at a very high risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack, don't be complacent. Because your cardiovascular system is interconnected, plaque in one artery makes it very possible that plaque will eventually show up elsewhere. For example, a diagnosis of peripheral artery disease is a condition that is associated with leg cramping, but that's a diagnosis that should be taken as a warning. Because these leg arteries are literally narrowing, it could mean that the arteries to the brain could also narrow, creating the ideal conditions for a stoke. Likewise, if arteries to the heart were to narrow, that could lead to heart attack or heart failure.
3. Oral health is a window to artery health.
For decades, researchers have seen a connection between oral health and heart health. Back in the 1920s for example, doctors thought they could cure heart disease by extracting teeth. While the connection is not yet fully understood, we do know oral plaque has a relationship to carotid artery plaque. Manganaro encourages patients to also see their dentist regularly and take good care of their gums and teeth.
The good news is you don't need a prescription or take a trip to the doctor's office to have preventive health screenings for cardiovascular disease. Life Line Screening performs affordable testing in community settings throughout the country. This testing will reveal where carotid artery plaque buildup is located and how much. This could translate into lifesaving treatment for you, or simply offer peace of mind. To find out when a screening clinic may be scheduled in your area, visit www.lifelinescreening.com/HeartCheck or call (877) 754-9631.

Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend
Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat Weekend will be held January 27th thru January 29th, 2017.
Registrations must be received by January 25th! Please feel free to Share this with a special woman in your life who deserves a weekend retreat.
("We realize that times are financially difficult for many. If you cannot afford to come yet feel strongly called to be with us, please let us know! There are a few partial scholarships available plus Credit Cards can be accepted by contacting Beth at beth@rainbowofpromise.com for details.")
We are very excited to announce that Columcille's Annual Women's Retreat will once again be held at the Kirkridge Farmhouse.
Keeping with tradition, the Women of Columcille invite you to come celebrate and honor our beloved Brighid, Goddess of Fire and Water. It is also that time of year when life slowly begins to flow and move underneath. It is the return of 'Light', the beginning of Spring also known as Imbolc 'flowing of ewe's milk' when it was all agrarian society. Let's celebrate and prepare ourselves for the return of 'Light' once again through ceremony, song, ritual and camaraderie of all your Sistars or just take 'me' time, walk the land, meditate and reflect!
Of course, there is play time for the 'inner child' to create and express herself with our craft time! Later we honor Brighid with a healing Fire ceremony, followed by our deeply bonding bonfire gathering with song, chants, and 'placing of cloths' for Brighid's Blessings. Then let off 'steam' from all that fire work with a pulsating drumming circle!
Gift yourself with the richly rewarding and fulfilling retreat experience, whether it be just one day or the whole weekend. It promises to be one of joy, growth, new friends, self-discovery and empowerment - doing 'inner work' has never been so rewarding! We look forward to 'connecting' with all our Sistars!
