ATLANTA, GA, April 18, 2014 (Press-News.org) Stucco is an incredibly special material that needs special care throughout its lifetime. Part of that special care, according to The Painting Penguin, is using stucco-specific paint whenever you want to refresh its color.
Unlike most exterior paints, acrylic-based stucco paints are actually designed to protect stucco without it losing any of its breathability. This breathability keeps stucco from cracking, splitting and peeling, which is why it is so essential to use stucco-specific paint. Stucco paint also is designed for easy use on stucco's naturally rough texture.
The Atlanta stucco repair specialists at The Painting Penguin note that the process of cleaning and painting stucco should be left to the professionals. Improper cleaning can create damage or worsen existing issues in the stucco, and painting over damaged stucco can exacerbate the problem.
"We strongly recommend having our professional stucco repair and painting team handle preparing and painting your stuccoed exterior," says Stephen Popov, Managing Partner of The Painting Penguin. "They are trained to spot and address existing and potential issues in your stucco before they begin painting. Your home will look brand new when you trust it to The Painting Penguin."
Stucco paint also has its uses indoors, both for covering interior stucco and for creating dimension on your walls. One painting technique the Atlanta painting contractors at The Painting Penguin have popularized is the careful application of stucco paint to create a faux stucco finish on structures and walls within your home.

Chronic inflammation may be linked to aggressive prostate cancer
2014-04-18
PHILADELPHIA — The presence of chronic inflammation in benign prostate tissue was associated with high-grade, or aggressive, prostate cancer, and this association was found even in those with low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
An analysis of prostate tissue biopsies collected from some participants of the placebo arm of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) found that those whose benign prostate tissue had chronic inflammation ...
Chronic inflammation linked to 'high-grade' prostate cancer
2014-04-18
Men who show signs of chronic inflammation in non-cancerous prostate tissue may have nearly twice the risk of actually having prostate cancer than those with no inflammation, according to results of a new study led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.
The link between persistent inflammation and cancer was even stronger for men with so-called high-grade prostate cancer — those with a Gleason score between 7 and 10 — indicating the presence of the most aggressive and rapidly growing prostate cancers.
"What we've shown in this observational study ...
Study sheds light on how the immune system protects children from malaria
2014-04-18
According to a study published today in PLOS Pathogens, children who live in regions of the world where malaria is common can mount an immune response to infection with malaria parasites that may enable them to avoid repeated bouts of high fever and illness and partially control the growth of malaria parasites in their bloodstream. The findings may help researchers develop future interventions that prevent or mitigate the disease caused by the malaria parasite.
Each year, approximately 200 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, resulting in roughly 627,000 deaths (mostly ...
Better thermal-imaging lens from waste sulfur
2014-04-18
Sulfur left over from refining fossil fuels can be transformed into cheap, lightweight, plastic lenses for infrared devices, including night-vision goggles, a University of Arizona-led international team has found.
The team successfully took thermal images of a person through a piece of the new plastic. By contrast, taking a picture taken through the plastic often used for ordinary lenses does not show a person's body heat.
"We have for the first time a polymer material that can be used for quality thermal imaging – and that's a big deal," said senior co-author Jeffrey ...

Double-stapled peptide inhibits RSV infection
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections, generating life-threating illness in very young and elderly populations. Despite great effort, preventive therapies are limited. RSV enters host cells through the fusion protein RSV F, which forms a six-helix fusogenic bundle. Small interfering peptides that prevent bundle formation limit RSV infection in vitro; however, these peptides are highly susceptible to degradation. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Loren ...
