Water & Wastewater Division
The Water and Wastewater Division produces and distributes potable water from six deep wells.
The Water Supply
The water supply is supplemented with treated water from the City of Waco and Bluebonnet Water Supply Corporation. Water is treated and distributed in accordance with the rules established by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The city has the capacity to produce 4.09 million gallons per day from city wells and maintains 7.580 million gallons of ground storage capacity. Wholesale supplemental water is contracted at a minimum rate based on an average of the city's usage over the last three years.
Personnel Responsibilities
Water and Wastewater Division personnel are responsible for the maintenance of:
- Controls
- Fire hydrants
- Generators
- Meters
- Plant sites
- Power equipment such as trucks and backhoes
- Pressure tanks
- Pumps
- Storage tanks
- Taps
- Valves
- Water lines
- Wells
Water Leaks
The division also responds to water leaks on a 24-hour, 7-days a week basis, ensures water quality and maintains approximately 3,400 meters.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention
When it rains, it pours- motor oil, fertilizer, pet wastes, and other pollutants end up in the storm water runoff that goes down the storm drains. Unlike the wastewater that comes from our homes, storm water runoff does not receive treatment before it enters larger waterways. That's why it's important to dispose of oil properly and to use garden chemicals in accordance with their labels.
Environmental Protection Agency
The Community Services and Development Department is responsible for administering the City's storm water permit with the Environmental Protection Agency. (The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is expected to take on permit oversight from the EPA in the near future).
This permit details the steps the city will take to help prevent and mitigate the impact non-point source pollutants have on our receiving waters. For any questions on stormwater prevention, please contact Community Services and Development at 254-772-4050.

Hi. Is there any way to encrypt non-system drive without data removal? I have read some tutorials but it seems that when you encrypt the non-system drive you lost all data in this process, it is correct information?
To the best of my knowledege, the original TrueCrypt did not have any option to encrypt data on non-system volumes in place. That isn't to say that software created based on TrueCrypt (VeraCrypt, CipherShed, etc) wouldn't have that capability, but I have no experience with those versions.

[NEWS] Dead Trees to Be Chipped and Sent to Fresno, CA Biomass Facility
– by Marc Benjamin, July 29, 2016, Fresno Bee
North Fork has a place to stack dead trees from the surrounding forest, but for now it's only open to Madera County and Pacific Gas & Electric.
The log deck is at the town's former sawmill site, the future site of a small bioenergy plant. The Yosemite/Sequoia Resource Conservation and Development Council has cleared 9 acres where dead trees will be stacked.
The log deck will help reduce fire danger in the forest by taking trees felled by the county Roads Department and PG&E. Eventually, the log deck yard will take trees from private contractors and homeowners. Fees will be charged to pay for transport and labor.
Initially, it will be open three days a week.
Madera County Supervisor Tom Wheeler said capacity at the mill site, about 350 truckloads of trees, will barely scratch the surface of the need in the North Fork area.
"We're taking baby steps to start," he said.
After being stacked, the trees will be trucked to a yard in Madera to be chipped and sent to the Rio Bravo biomass plant in Fresno for conversion into electricity.
Hector Lara, Rio Bravo's fuel manager, said the company has a contract for 1,000 tons per month, about 6 percent of the wood the plant uses to produce electricity for PG&E. The log deck yard also will provide material for the North Fork Bioenergy Facility when it opens in 2017.

Proteins post-translational Modification (PTM) is an important reversible event controlling protein activity. The amino-terminal tails of core histones undergo multiple modifications in multiple sites, termed as "histone code" or "epigenetic code". Lysine methylation or arginine methylation in core histones is a major determinant for the formation of active and inactive regions of the genome and therefore plays vital roles in multiple cellular events. In most species, arginine methylation occurs primarily on histones H3 (Arg2, 8, 17, 26) and H4 (Arg3) and has been implicated in both transcriptional activation and silencing. Arginine methylation in histones is carried out by the arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT), which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to a guanidine nitrogen of arginine. Arginine methylation in histones is impaired in the pathologies of cancer and other diseases and therefore, enzymes regulating histone arginine methylation have become promising targets for anti-cancer drugs.

Glauber's salt is one of typical purgatives frequently used in traditional Chinese medicine. It was first recorded in Ming Yi Bie Lu (Miscellaneous Records of Famous Physicians), which was compiled by Tao Hong-Jing. It is also known as Mang Xiao in Pinyin, which, literally translated, means "wheat awn saltpetre" or "wheat awn vanish". Accordingly, the reason for this name is twofold: it looks like the awn of wheat, plus it is soluble in water and disappears once dropped in the water. Clinically it is often used to treat bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, and others due to excess heat. And it is also good at curing sore throat, mouth sores, red eyes, ulcerative carbuncle, swelling, pain, and so on. In addition, it is also suitable for external use in the treatment of a variety of other ailments.
What is glauber's salt?
It refers to the refined crystals from the natural mineral containing sodium sulfate. It mainly contains sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na2SO4•10H2O). As a result, other names of this mineral medicine include mirabilite, Natrii Sulfas, sodium sulfate decahydrate, Sodium Sulfate, and so on. In China it is mainly produced in Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places.
According to different processing steps, it is called by different names. First, dissolve the natural mineral in hot water, filter, cool down, and then crystallize. This product is called Pi Xiao. Secondarily, clean and slice the radish, place them and Pi Xiao into the pot, add water and boil, take the liquid in the upper layer, cool down, and crystallize. The crystal obtained is glaubers salt. The preferred one is bluish-white, transparent, in the shape of block crystal, clean and free of impurities. Thirdly, glauber salts lose the crystal water by weathering and turn into the white powder, which is known as anhydrous sodium sulfate (Xuan Ming Fen).
It is prismatic, rectangular, or irregular lumps and granular. It is colorless or white translucent. And it is brittle, fragile, and with shiny glass-like section. Besides, it is odorless and salty.
It contains sodium sulfate, a small amount of sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, and other inorganic salt.
Glauber's salt health benefits
According to reports, glauber's salt-based formulas can be used to treat a variety of diseases. For example, the total effective rate was 79% in the treatment of 117 cases of Kashin-Beck disease by taking it by orally, twice a day, 2 to 4 grams each time in adult (1); Jin Bo Xiao Shi San, composed of 100g mirabilite, 100g Hai Jin Sha (Lygodium japonicum), 40g Hu Po (Amber), and 20g Peng Sha (sodium borate), is a good cure for urolithic stranguria (2); it is also used to treat mumps, ascariasis, intractable pruritus, and so on.
Modern pharmacological actions of mirabilite
The sulphate ions of sodium sulfate cannot be easily absorbed by intestinal wall, which thus stay in intestines and form a hypertonic solution. This solution can prevent the intestinal absorption of water, increase the intestinal volume, cause mechanical irritation, promote peristalsis, and finally cause diarrhea.
Selected glauber salt herbal remedies
According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, it is salty and bitter in flavor and cold in nature. And it goes to stomach and large intestine. Basic functions are purgating heat and bowels, moistening dryness, softening hard mass and clearing heat for detumescence. Essential indications include excess-heat causing constipation, dry feces, abdominal pain due to indigestion, swelling and pain in appendicitis, and externally for mastitis and painful swollen hemorrhoids. Recommended dosage is from 6 to 12 grams. And generally it is not used as decoction. Instead it is highly recommended to dissolve it in the decoction after it is done.
1. Da Cheng Qi Tang and Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang from Shang Han Lun (On Cold Damage). It is mainly formulated with Da Huang (Rhubarb) to enhance the laxative effect. And in recent years it is also frequently used for abdominal pain and constipation in cholelithiasis patients.
2. Bing Peng San from Wai Ke Zheng Zong (Orthodox Exogenous Illnesses). It is combined with sodium borate, Bing Pian (Borneol), and Zhu Sha (Cinnabar) to cure sore throat and mouth sores.
Glauber's salt side effects and contraindications
Given the cold nature of glauber's salt, it should not be used for pregnant women and people who are with deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach. And Ben Cao Jing Ji Zhu (Explanation of Canon of Materia Medica) says that Shi Wei (pyrrosia lingua) can bring out its best but Mai Ju Jiang (carpesium abrotanoides) can restrain its efficacy.

Green, OH: At the Annual Meeting of the Greater Cleveland Growth Association at the
Renaissance Hotel yesterday, Continental Airlines Chairman and CEO Gordon Bethune, suggested that flights from Akron-Canton Airport have had a significant impact on their boardings and potentially their hub status. at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
.It is our firm belief that flights from Akron-Canton Airport compliment those offered by Continental Airlines from Cleveland,. said airport director Fred Krum. .Mr. Bethune, who we have great admiration and respect for, has overemphasized our impact on their boardings..
Of the approximately 5.5 million trips originating in Northeast Ohio in 2002, 50 percent are aboard Continental Airline flights, 40 percent are on flights offered by other carriers from Cleveland (including Southwest Airlines, the world.s largest affordable fare carrier), and 10 percent are flying any of five carriers serving Akron-Canton Airport.
Additionally, this is a time of exceptional strain on all facets of the airline/ aviation industry. Soft
bookings and increased security fees since the terrorist attacks, the economic recession depressing business travel and the war in Iraq have created a crisis never seen before. .Although we are growing, this combination of factors, most likely, is having a greater impact on their boardings than any competition we could muster from CAK,. added Krum. .The Continental Airlines hub in Cleveland is important to the region. We.ve supported their growth to international destinations in the past and hope they will continue to grow in Northeast Ohio in the future. We too will continue to grow, filling a strategic need for air service that compliments their service offerings..
AirTran Airways, Delta Connection carriers, Northwest Airlink, United Express, and US Airways
Express serve the growing Akron-Canton market. The airport is currently in the midst of a $50 million, five-year expansion program including longer runways, an expanded terminal (including a new secondlevel loading concourse and a food court with national brands) and a new interchange south of the airport at Shuffel Road. Additional airport information is available at www.akroncantonairport.com.

Have you been entranced by the beauty of craftsmanship of those wooden boats that you can see displayed in high-end homes and workplaces? At some point, you might even have considered buying a kit model to assemble it during your free time. Nevertheless, not everybody has time to assemble boats during the weekend, so you need to find an alternative way of achieving your objective.
One way to do is to directly get in touch with builders of model ships. Often times, these people will be available to help you. Not only do they build and sell miniature boats that are very close replicas of actual boats, they also take custom orders from customers who want more. Due to this, they are probably the only option you have at this point if you want to claim possession of your own well-made miniature boat. Click here for more info on model ships Sydney.
Tracking down these specialists might seem tricky, but you can have a lot of success by browsing online sites and using search engines appropriately. With a bit of luck, you should be able to locate at least one or two builders of custom miniature boats that will be glad to help you. First of all, try browsing their existing products to see if their workmanship and attention to detail meet your expectations: if they do, you can go ahead with the next step.
Get in touch with the customer support service and clearly explain your needs. Make sure to provide as much details as possible to ensure that the builder gets to know what your request entails. Often times, a simple phone call won't be enough to finalize your request. At the very least, you will need to do a video call, send written details or even visit the workshop in person before the builders can get started with your work request.
Once all the necessary details are provided, work will get started after a few more consultation sessions. You will need to finalize details such as the estimated cost, duration of the work, shipping details and anything else that might interest you. Do not take these little details too lightly. They are just as important as the building stage to make sure that the finished product gets delivered to you in perfect conditions. Care must be taken with the shipping details; decorative model ships can get easily damaged during transit if you choose the wrong mode of transportation.
If you did everything correctly, all that's left is to wait for the project to be completed, pay with your cash and then wait a little more for the delivery of your new custom ship model. The wait itself can be never-ending, so try to keep your cool as you will finally be able to showcase your very own work of art for others to see!

Poppy plants are familiar to us. Many gardeners have grown at least one kind. Maybe you're even lucky enough to have a meadow where one of the easy-to-grow types reseeds itself yearly, relieving you of any responsibility.
Their familiarity aside, you probably don't know all there is to know about poppies. Their variety is astounding. Beginning gardeners will be most pleased to learn about the easy-to-grow kinds of poppies.
Here are types of poppy plants with indications about how easy or difficult they are to grow.
01 of 08
Oriental Poppies: Easy to Grow (in the North)
Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale) are easy to grow in the North. In addition to the common orange-colored kind, cultivars include:
- Beauty of Livermere: blood-red
- Princess Victoria Louise: salmon-pink
qBeauty of Livermere (USDA zones 3 to 7) is 2 to 3 feet tall, with a spread of up to 2 feet. Princess Victoria Louise (zones 2 to 9) stands about 30 inches tall, with a spread of about 20 inches. Grow both in full sun. Both bloom by early June in zone 5.
While people typically grow Oriental poppies for their magnificent blooms, their feathery foliage is also attractive. The leaves disappear in summer as the plant goes dormant, but then a new set of basal leaves emerges in the fall. These leaves will overwinter, affording winter interest (in areas that receive only light snowfall).
Those who garden in cold climates are frequently envious of their compatriots who garden where winters are milder since the latter can grow plants that can't survive in the North. However, the tables are turned when it comes to Oriental poppies. They're generally too hard to grow in climates warmer than the northerly parts of zone 7.
02 of 08
Himalayan Poppies: Hard to Grow
Himalayan poppies (Meconopsis grandis) qualify as poppies by family (Papaveraceae) but are not of the Papaver genus.
They require constant moisture (but detest having wet feet), as well as moderate temperatures in both summer and winter (not too hot, not too cold). That's why they're considered hard to grow.
Beth Chatto, gardening in East Anglia (a relatively dry region for Great Britain), gave up on growing Meconopsis grandis, observing that they "come from woods and shrubby places in the Himalayas, shrouded in mist, high up on the cloud layers" (The Shade Garden, p.9). Unable to match such growing conditions, she wisely called it quits.
If you still wish to try growing these blue poppies, despite the daunting hard-to-grow label, here are the basic growing requirements:
- Planting zones 5 to 7
- Dappled shade
- A well-drained soil kept evenly moist
- In terms of soil pH, lean toward the slightly acidic, if anything.
Himalayan poppies measure 24 to 36 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 to 24 inches. Flower size is 4 to 5 inches across.
03 of 08
Plume Poppy: Too Easy to Grow
Often we fall into the trap of purchasing a perennial based on how good it looks, only to find out later that it's an invasive plant. Thus the importance of plant-selection research. Many a "beautiful barbarian" has been introduced into the landscape over the years, a lovely but dangerous plant that ends up being your garden's undoing.
Plume poppy (Macleaya cordata) is such a plant. It's easy to grow in zones 3 to 8. But this is a case of a poppy being too easy to grow, to the point of becoming weedy. But you must admit their beauty, especially the beauty of their leaves. Plume poppy is mainly an outdoor foliage plant, despite the fact that the "plume" in the common name refers to the plumes of flowers they produce (which are only moderately attractive).
04 of 08
Greater Celandine: Weed in Poppy Family
While plume poppy can become weedy due to its invasive nature (in North America), greater celandine (Chelidonium majus) is generally regarded as a weed, pure and simple. It's another plant invasive in North America, commonly found growing along roadsides.
You are particularly likely to become aware of its presence in spring because it's a biennial. It grows just leaves its first year, and those leaves stay green all winter and right on into spring. So while the ground in early spring may be relatively bare along roadsides because most of the wild plants have not come up yet, any stretch of land containing greater celandine won't be bare.
Lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria), another yellow flower, is in the buttercup family, not the poppy family. It's a bit of a marsh marigold look-alike and quite invasive in North America.Continue to 5 of 8 below.
05 of 08
Annuals: Flanders and Shirley Poppies
A few types of poppies are either annuals or treated as if they were annuals. Some, however, will reseed, a selling point for those seeking easy-to-grow poppies.
Flanders poppies (Papaver rhoeas) are annual plants. Another well-known annual, derived from the Flanders poppy, is the Shirley poppy. Both are easy to grow, often reseeding prolifically.
If you garden in the South and have found it too hard to grow perennial poppies, try switching over to annuals. Sow the seeds in fall or winter.
The Flanders poppy, native to Eurasia, became famous due to Canadian, John McCrae's 1915 poem, In Flanders Fields, a reaction to the horrors of World War I. Canadians wear poppies on Remembrance Day, November 11, Americans on Memorial Day, the last Monday in May.
With their greater variety, Shirley poppy is more popular for landscaping. Besides red, the flowers come in orange, pink, violet, white, and yellow. Leaves are fern-like. The plant grows 2 to 3 feet tall x 1 foot wide. Grow it in full sun.
06 of 08
Opium Poppies: Illegal
Opium poppies (Papaver somniferum) are annuals native to Turkey. North Carolina State University states that their flowers come in white, pink, red, and purple. But, as they also state, growing opium poppies is illegal in the U.S. The reason for this ban is that such notorious drugs as heroin are, in fact, produced from opium poppies. Growing them is illegal even if you're growing them only for ornamental purposes. Unfortunately, the ban extends to the dazzling Papaver paeoniflorum, the double-flowered version of the opium poppy.
07 of 08
Iceland Poppies: Perennials Often Treated as Annuals
Iceland poppy (Papaver nudicaule) is hard to grow. It comes in a number of bright colors. Besides yellow, it also comes in:
- White
- Salmon
- Rose
- Pink
Although technically a short-lived perennial (zones 2 to 9), it's intolerant of heat and "will not make it through summers in about seventy percent" of the United States, according to Allan Armitage (Armitage's Garden Perennials, p.234). For this reason, treat it as an annual unless you garden in the Far North. If you garden in zone 2 or 3, give it full sun. Plant size is 12 to 18 inches tall x 8 to 12 inches wide.
08 of 08
Bloodroot: Poppy Family Member Native to Eastern North America
So far we've discussed poppy flowers native to distant lands and members of the poppy family that are invasive in North America. But there's also a poppy native to eastern North America (it's in the poppy family, but not in the Papaver genus). This plant is bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis). Bloodroot is a great choice if you're seeking a North-American native that likes shade.
Poppies Deceptively Familiar
Poppies aren't one of those great plants that the average person has never heard of. But familiarity can be deceiving. You may associate "poppy" with common plants such as the Oriental poppy, but even some weeds belong to the poppy family. Their diversity is staggering. Don't be discouraged by hard-to-grow kinds such as Himalayan and Iceland poppies. Oriental poppies are easy to grow in the North, and annual poppies provide a carefree choice almost anywhere.

Governor Cuomo announces NY Heals Initiative that brings together top researchers from public and private institution to prevent, treat, and cure a variety of diseases. Among the research institutions is a consortium of SUNY, medical universities, and IBM aimed at sharing technologies and research.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today launched the New York Hub for Emerging Applications in Life Sciences (NY HEALS) initiative, the first-ever statewide public-private collaborative research initiative that brings together top researches and technology leaders to enhance the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure of a variety of diseases. NY HEALS continues the Governor's innovative-driven strategy to leverage the strength of New York's world-class academic and research institutions.
"This new collaboration is another example of New York's exemplary public and private academic institutions working hand in hand with the private sector to grow our state's innovation economy," Governor Cuomo said. "As NY HEALS demonstrates, our state continues to lead the way in developing cutting edge public-private partnerships, and advancing effective health solutions for a wide variety of diseases. I applaud the founding members of NY HEALS for coming together to make new progress in the fields of science and medicine, while also growing our economy."
With a goal of maximizing the expertise of New York's diverse research community, NY HEALS brings together technology leaders such as IBM and a host of the state's leading health and life science education and research institutions. Those institutions include the Albany Medical Center, SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE), the Research Foundation for SUNY, the University at Albany, the Jacobs Institute, Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, the Wadsworth Center, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Consistent with SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher's "Power of SUNY" strategy, leading SUNY entities engaged Albany Medical Center, the Jacobs Institute, the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, and RPI as founding members of the collaborative.
The initiative will enable research projects by offering leading doctors and scientists access to advanced infrastructure, such as IBM's Watson supercomputer. Watson employs natural language capabilities, hypothesis generation, and evidence-based learning to help support medical professionals in making more informed decisions about potential diagnosis and treatment options.
NY HEALS will also enable the application of leading-edge technologies to vital areas of life sciences, including:
"By working with our private sector counterparts across the state, SUNY and the Research Foundation are harnessing the state's intellectual capital to drive innovative solutions to major public health concerns," said SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher. "NY HEALS continues SUNY's support of the governor's innovation agenda and our growing number of influential public-private partnerships."
"While each of our institutions has produced tremendous advances in brain mapping, collaboration with each other and other institutions gives us the powerful potential to reach heights we and President Obama can only imagine," said James J. Barba, President and CEO of Albany Medical Center, who hosted the announcement. "Each of our separate institutions has demonstrated remarkable research power. Today, we are embarking on a statewide effort to ensure that we achieve even more."
"NY HEALS fits perfectly with Governor Andrew Cuomo's blueprint for harnessing the power of education and innovation to enable research excellence and catalyze economic opportunity across New York State," said CNSE Senior Vice President and CEO Dr. Alain E. Kaloyeros. "We are delighted to partner with our colleagues in private industry, embodied by IBM, and the state's prestigious academic and research institutions in this cross-regional, multi-disciplinary collaboration, and to deploy nanotechnology know-how to enhance medical care and improve the quality of life for individuals in our community and across the nation."
"IBM is delighted to join this ground breaking effort in New York State aimed at improving healthcare. We have had a strong partnership with the state and many of its world class higher education institutions for years in areas such as nanotechnology, big data analytics and supercomputing," said Dr. John E. Kelly III, senior vice president and director of IBM Research. "Bringing all of this expertise and resources together, in addition to our most advanced analytics technologies, to further advancement around our most pressing needs in healthcare, is very timely."
"The success of NY HEALS will be demonstrated by accelerated collaborations and research synergies as our regional partners work together to bring life-changing therapies and innovation to the global life-science marketplace," said University at Albany President Robert Jones. "We are thrilled to bring the power of such research leaders as our RNA Institute and Cancer Research Center to Governor Andrew Cuomo's vision of leveraging public-private partnerships to enhance public health."
"The NY HEALS partnership is powerful testimony for New York's leading collaborative capacity in research and innovation in health care," said Research Foundation for SUNY President Dr. Tim Killeen. "We congratulate our SUNY colleagues and our industry and community partners for assembling an extraordinary team dedicated to applying leading edge technologies to improve care and reduce health care costs."
"Rensselaer is pleased to bring a unique combination of talent and technology to the NY HEALS initiative," said Shirley Ann Jackson, President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. "The Rensselaer Institute for Data Exploration and Applications (IDEA) leverages our wealth of data science, high performance computing, predictive analytics, data visualization, and cognitive computing capabilities. All of that, combined with the genius of Watson at Rensselaer, will harness the power of data to generate new discoveries and innovations offering solutions to scientific and societal challenges."
"The world-class intellectual and physical resources being engaged through this collaboration will firmly position New York as a home for next-generation medical technologies and first-class patient care," said L. Nelson (Nick) Hopkins, M.D., CEO of the Jacobs Institute. "The Jacobs Institute is delighted to join with our esteemed partner institutions on this important initiative that will enable new approaches to identifying, treating, curing, and preventing disease, while cementing the state's role as a nexus for cutting-edge life sciences education and research."
"The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is pleased to participate in this important cross-state initiative envisioned by Governor Cuomo as we continue to support private-sector growth through our partnership with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering," said Matthew Enstice, President and CEO of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, Inc. "The Governor's vision to make these connections across New York State is already creating jobs and opportunities."
"The Wadsworth Center is delighted to be a part of this ground-breaking initiative and to partner with such prestigious institutes across the state. Scientists at the Center who are already nationally and internationally renowned will be active collaborators especially in the areas of neurology, inherited genetic diseases and infectious disease diagnostics" said Dr. Nirav R. Shah, Commissioner for Health.
NY HEALS complements Governor Cuomo's announcement of SUNY's Networks of Excellence – in particular SUNY Health Now and SUNY Brain – which will leverage the capacities at SUNY campuses to increase research collaborations and commercialization activities between SUNY and industry partners in the areas of health and neuroscience. One of the first initiatives to be undertaken by NY HEALS, entitled BRAIN NY, will bring together researchers from these institutions to facilitate brain mapping efforts and further collaboration.
Announced by the President in April 2013, the BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) initiative was created to advance the understanding of the human brain through investments in research by the National Institutes of Health, beginning with $40 million in federal fiscal year 2014. Funding priorities for FY 2014, outlined in a conference call held by the NIH on September 16, include generating a census of cell types, creating structural maps of the brain, linking neuronal activity to behavior, and creating mechanisms to enable collection of human data, among others.
The founding institutions have found their work in the field of brain mapping to be complementary and their multi-disciplinary partnership to be increasingly important to successful competition for federal research funding, as follows:
A new website, www.NYHEALS.net, will connect and provide information and outreach to scientists across New York, including work underway at both the state and national levels, as well as soliciting information about related research being conducted at other institutions throughout the state.

PRICE for Carbon steel casting - 2,5 EURO/kg
Manufacture of the casting, foundry of Murom Industrial Valves Plant was started in 2005. The first purpose of the foundry was making casting for valves. Valves are difficult and important products thus today MIVP could make casting of different level of complexity.
Moulds are made of green sand casting process. Modern Automatic moldings lines HSP-4D of German company «Heinrich Wagner Sinto» is used for making moldings. Core shooters LL 20 of Laempe GmbH is used for constructing cores for molds.
Wide range of other equipment gives an ability of making shoot blasting, machining and heat treatment.
Analysis of the moldings is made with modern laboratory equipment.
Production capacity is 10000 tons per year.
Parameters of the casting:
Parameters above are for reference only. It depends on the drawing of the casting.
Fields of using:
Transport, Energetic, Construction, Marine, Railroads, Agriculture, Auto, Valves.
Description of the process:
1.Consideration of the drawings.
The Seller sends his drawings for the first consideration of ability of making molds and casting. During the process engineers enquires additional information and makes notes. At the end of the process conclusion is made and price is estimated.
2.Patternmaking and coremaking.
Pattern is a replica of the exterior side of the mold. Pattern has allocation for shrinkage of metal and finish machining.
Core is made if there is a cavity inside the mold. Exterior side of the core is a copy of interior contour of the casting. Cores are placed into the mold to create interior contour of the casting.
Patterns are usually made of wood, plastic or metal. Selection of material depends on required number of castings to be made from the mold, quality of the surface of the products and price. Selection of material is arranged with customer.
Cores are made of a sand mixture – sand combined with water and organic adhesives called binders, which is baked to form the core. That allows the cores to be strong and collapsible, so they can be easy removed from the finished casting. The core pattern is made of metal.
Mold is contained in two section frame, called flask. One section is top and another is bottom. Molding sand is packed into a bottom section around the pattern. After that gating and runner are positioning for melting the metal. Core is also placed in the bottom section of flask and two sections (top and bottom) are closed and clamped together.
4.Melting and pouring.
Melting is a process of conversion metal to a liquid state in the furnace. Liquid metal is transferred in ladles and poured into the molds.
5.Shaking out and cleaning.
After the metal has solidified and cooled, the molds are vibrated on special equipment to remove sand from the casting. This process called shaking out.
Cleaning is a process of removing gating system, superfluous metal and sand inclusions.
Shoot blasting also could be included in cleaning.
6.Heat treatment.
Heat treatment is a process of metal treatment in high temperature with special mode of cooling for achieving required mechanical propertie
For achieving high quality products new modern laboratory equipment is used to control chemical composition and mechanical properties of the casting.
Many kinds of products according to their application or customer's requirement need machining. Machining is made according to the customer's drawings by modern equipment (lathes, boring machines, grinding machines, milling centers etc.).

Video clip shows Newbury in the '50s
Fri, 21 Sept 2018
Flooded roads and traffic chaos, water pouring into houses and submerged railway tracks were the result of 195 million gallons of rain falling on Newbury in September 1968. Numerous lightning strikes ravaged the area – Newbury Racecourse was struck by a thunderbolt and immediately abandoned its race meeting.
150 years ago - September 17 1868
On Friday last, at Ham Farm, Mr Charles Parritt was engaged thrashing with his 4-horse power machine, when a very serious accident happened to Ellen Harris.
It appears that as she was above to get on the machine, her clothes became entangled, dragging her body into some part of machinery, causing dislocation of her arm and producing some severe bruises on the back part of her head.
The poor girl has scarcely been sensible since, and now lies in a very dangerous state, little hopes of her recovery being entertained.
100 years ago September 19 1918
A meeting was held in the Parish Hall last week, under the presidency of Miss Henry, at which Miss Anna Munro gave a lecture upon "The position of women now and after the war".
She said the vote had been granted (1) because of the magnificent capacity shown by women during the war; (2) because their help was needed in the re-construction that must follow.
Women must use their increased power intelligently and wisely.
There must not be two moral standards, one for men and one for women.
The same high standard must be upheld for both sexes. Women must have a straight say upon the housing and education questions.
Girls, as boys, should not go into blind-alley occupations.
Women had now entered into many professions and occupations previously closed to them, and should be allowed to do any work of which they were capable, receiving equal pay for equal work.

"Killed in action" on September 1st, 1918, was the sad news received by Mr and Mrs Wilde, of Kintbury, of their only son, Lieut Edwin Jospeh Wilde, of the Leicestershire Regiment.
Joining our "Contemptible Little Army" in October, 1914, he became a member of the University and Public School Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, later going out with this battalion to France in November 1915.
Gazetted in October, 1916, to the Leicestershire Regiment, returning to France in December 1916, serving with distinction in his Battalion, he, at a later date, at his own request, became attached to the 110th T M Battery until his death on September 1st.
A brother officer writes of him: "Going up in support of an attack in the open, when a shell fell in the muzzle of his gun killing him instantaneously with three of his men.
"I have only been in this Battery for six weeks, but during that time I found your son to be a very gallant officer and gentleman."
50 years ago - September 19 1968
Residents in the Brookside Walk, Bowmounts Road and Brook Green areas of Tadley are sure of one thing after the
weekend rain – that something must soon be done about their flooding problem.
Early on Monday, Bishopswood stream, the brook running through the area, overflowed and three houses were flooded out.
Drains became blocked and overflowed and the milkman and baker could not get through to deliver.
Yesterday people in the flooded houses were still drying out soaked floorboards, carpets and furniture.
They were trying to estimate the amount of damage the water had done for insurance purposes.
Mr MJ Tellis, of 14 Brookside Walk, who had just started a week's holiday said the water came up quickly and there was nothing they could do to stop it coming into the house.
Within minutes the ground floor was under 6 inches of water.
Mr Tellis said it was the second time his house had been flooded.
"Several of us rang the council and fire brigade when the water started rising on Sunday," he said, "but nothing was done until it was too late."
25 years ago - September 30 1993
A senior nurse who is fed up with the NHS is leaving Newbury to help set up an operating theatre for refugees on the Gaza Strip. Mrs Pat Lawton leaves next month to cope with a new series of challenges, including Palestinian attitudes to women and the possibility of being shot at.
Mrs Lawton, a sister at Basingstoke Hospital, is disillusioned with administration and feels she will experience more nursing out in Gaza, where 800,000 Palestinians suffer appalling conditions.
Medical Aid to Palestinians (MAP) is setting up a new operating theatre in Gaza City and Mrs Lawton said "There is an intensive care unit out there but there is no operating theatre programme at all.
"I will be setting up a programme of teaching nurses so in three years they will be self-sufficient."
Mrs Lawton, aged 47, will also have to deal with Palestinian attitudes to women.
"You're not allowed to show the soles of your feet; you're not allowed to sit next to a single man."
Mrs Lawton trained as a nurse in Newbury in 1966. She said "I'm up to my nostrils with administration in the NHS. I've had enough."

I only had time yesterday for one garage sale. Got a really good deal on gift wrap at a moving sale. I guess moving means no more gifts for anyone. At least wrapped ones. Lol.
Working on cards for a class on Monday. It's s catch-up for a few people. I'm using the High Tide stamp set and cards I made a few months ago.
I also made this Craftdbear Original Design card this past week. I think I'll be using it in a future class.
I still have to get the momento dress hangers done today for Laryssa coming tomorrow. At least we got the black vinyl yesterday for the Silhouette Cameo 3 cutting system that I just love. Cutting systems have really come a long way in the last few years.
Thanks for visiting today!

Physician practices can buy a new kind of stand-alone insurance policy to shield themselves from losing too much money due to privacy breaches. The fines and penalties a healthcare organization might have to pay for privacy breach, such as improperly accessed electronic medical records, can be minimal to fatal. Privacy breaches can cost more than $200 per patient.
Smaller organizations, such as independent practices, might face higher risks for privacy breaches, said Tracey Vispoli,of the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. Her group has created a security and liability policy for small practices. "Those are the entities that don't necessarily have an information security person on staff or resources to put around information security," she said.

note JavaFan You seem to be confusing "1-to-1" mapping, and "identity function". While the identity function is a trivial "1-to-1" mapping, it's not true every "1-to-1" mapping is the identity function.
 However, even side-stepping that, Juerd doesn't mean byte values map 1-to-1. The mapping is after decoding. For instance, the UTF-8 byte sequence 0x82 0xC3 decodes to C2. Which indeed does map to the C2 Unicode code point. 661510 881386

A major North American brewery's 13 regional operations were struggling to obtain timely accounts payable information from their shared services centre. ACI's history with this organization began in the early 80's with microfilming accounts payable documents for one of its regional offices. As the benefits of digitizing became apparent (i.e. instant document retrievability, elimination of manual filing) the organization moved from microfilming to digitizing accounts payable documents for all its regional operations. Each regional operation however still had to channel any accounts payable query through the shared services centre.
By storing the organization's accounts payable information on ACI's image warehouse servers, authorized users in the brewery's regional operations could instantly access required accounts payable information via the Internet.

2014 was the year of innovations in digital advertising: CVL Srinivas
From a media perspective 2013 was the year of the perfect storm and something tells me that there is lots waiting to unfold in 2015. Was 2014 the lull before another storm? The major event that dominated 2014 was of course the general election and the wave of optimism and hope that has been spreading ever since the new government came to power. Not only was this the most bitterly fought election from a media standpoint; it was the most well orchestrated win combining strategy with clever tactics. Advertising was only one part of the strategy. 2014 will go down in history as the year that gave a new meaning to marketing of political parties. We now realise that the general election was only the beginning. With a slew of schemes, clever branding and initiatives that touch the common man, the government is turning out to be a very savvy marketer. One hopes the product lives up to its promise.
The extension granted to TV digitisation was a bit of a dampener for the broadcast sector. There has been some indication that the phase III licensing for radio will soon go through. Meanwhile, India became the second biggest market for Facebook, the overall Internet penetration crossed 200 million and mobile Internet became the most dominant force of change. And yet we have bandwidth issues, call drops and sometimes feel like going back to the old faithful 'landline'. As a nation we need to play catch up in digital infrastructure and going forward I hope this is given the highest priority.
As for the advertising industry, 2014 saw a 12.5 per cent growth (as per GroupM TYNY estimates) as against a global ad spend growth of 4.5 per cent. Apart from political advertising, if there was one sector that stood out was ecommerce. This sector will end up with more than 50 per cent growth over last year closing the year at Rs 2500 crore of ad spend. The upsurge in this sector is expected to continue. FMCG (which remains by far the biggest sector in terms of ad-spend contributing about a third of total advertising) continued to invest in advertising despite supply side pressures, poor volume growth and an uncertain monsoon season. We expect FMCG to end the year with 12-14 per cent growth. Auto has seen a revival both in terms of sales and ad spends. The sector is expected to see a 15-17 per cent ad spend growth in 2014. With petrol/diesel prices coming down, we expect more action in the months to come. Telecom brands are back after a lull, adding to the overall positive trend. All in all it was a good year, although anything less than 15 per cent ad spend growth still seems low for our market. As expected digital advertising grew at 35 per cent, while TV continued to do well with approximately 15 per cent growth. Regional language dailies helped grow the print sector. Cinema turned out to be the dark horse, with 25 per cent growth though on a relatively small base. Unlike the past few years, we had a clear blip during the festive season this year across all media.
2014 saw a great deal of innovation in digital media advertising. GroupM and our agencies have been at the forefront of many exciting developments. Digital video has emerged as one of the biggest growth drivers of digital ad spend. Mashup, our digital video content unit has seen a lot of traction, we have made over 1500 pieces of digital video content in the past year. Across the industry, we saw many memorable campaigns launched first on digital media. More brands have taken to social media platforms to keep the conversation going, social listening is emerging as a key input for advertising and media planning. We have worked with clients (like Nestle) to establish social command centers that have given our media and content planners real time insights. Mobile as a medium continues to grow and will soon account for nearly 20 per cent of the digital ad spend. Madhouse is our mobile center of excellence that is now in its third year of operation. Another emerging trend is audience planning, where digital inventory is combined with data to ensure better ROI for brands. GroupM's Xaxis is a platform that is at the forefront of innovation in this space.
We have lots to look forward to in 2015 including the ICC Cricket World Cup.
Here's wishing you all a Very Happy New Year.

Ministry: Peru Field, GO Fund
Each of South America Mission's countries of service incurs costs associated with managing and facilitating ministry and caring for missionaries (e.g. compliance with local government regulations, operating a field office, stewarding field finances, etc.) Resources allocated in support of the general operations of the Peru field directly support the infrastructure essential to ministry.

Imagine an aerial view of a Cessna 206 float plane, suspended above the backdrop of an Amazon River tributary with a remote village on its flooded banks. In that view, all the pieces come together and convey aviation's integral role in the ministry of South America Mission: transporting fulfillers of the Great Commission to the hard-to-reach places, to the people in those remote, village homes, with the good news of Jesus.


text: Atruejedi Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hi all. Let me preface this post by saying it comes from a place of deep respect and appreciation with the goal of improving custom song releases, both past and future. Recently I was playing with my band mate and we both got a bit frustrated with a great pack of awesome songs all by the same artist from the same author. My band mate always sings and I always do backing vocals while playing guitar or bass. We both noticed during these three songs that we were getting slaughtered on expert vocals, and, frankly, we're pretty damn good singers. She aired her frustration and I understood how she felt, but now that I'm an author myself I understand how to address the root of her frustrations. I told her that it seems like many authors use MIDIs to chart their vocals, and that's fine, but it causes big problems for vocalists because it's playing a synthesized melody performed by a robot. The problem is: humans aren't robots, and this is compounded by the fact that microphones don't easily pick up every noise we humans make when we sing. Privately, I've always told fellow authors that "less is more" when it comes to placing vocal tubes in Reaper, but now I want to publicly expand on that idea. It comes down to this philosophy: you want the vocalist to hit the mark, not fill the tank. "What the hell are you on about, bra?" Fill the TankI use this phrase because so often while singing vocals for custom releases (and, not infrequently, even with Harmonix songs) I have to sing very unlike the actual singer of the song I'm hearing on the track. I have to hold out notes for much longer than would be natural in order to fill the tank enough to please the game engine and get an Awesome, and it really snuffs out the spark that makes karaoke so fun. As an author, you should want your singer to sing as if they're the real performer and to have fun while doing it. Playing a Chili Peppers song? You're now Anthony Kiedis. Jamming to some Arctic Monkeys? You become Alex Turner. Nobody likes pretending to be Vocalbot9000. Filling the tank is bad. So what mind set should you have when charting vocals? Hit the MarkThe way I chart vocals for Rock Band 3 customs (both for my own releases and my many contributions to other authors) is to make it so the player just so happens to be hitting the same note as the performer in the source audio at critical times. This means the vocalist shouldn't have to try to fill the tubes. That's no fun, son. And this doesn't mean you can't use MIDIs as the base for your vocals chart! You just need to make sure you shorten every tube at both the beginning and end of the tube. I really only place tubes where there's an unmistakable vowel sound happening. Less is MoreGenerally speaking, 90% of the customs database could benefit from these ideas. Many customs of otherwise dazzling quality still are a bit lacking in the vocals department... and I understand why: charting vocals is tough and very time consuming. But nothing sucks more than singing on expert difficulty (with a partner!), sounding solid, and being told you're Messy. So where do I think authors should pay the most attention to tube length? 1. The very end of tubes. This is the sssssin we've all had to sssssuffer through, so we just need to be aware of it. And many more soundssssss other than ssss are problematic. If the singer has already hit the note at the beginning of the tube, he or she shouldn't be punished for not holding it out for the exact duration of the singer in the source audio. 2. The downward slide at the end of tubes. You know what? JUST DON'T CHART THESE UNLESS the singer is aiming for a very specific note which you can identify and fits with the melody. Frankly, it's absurd to expect a vocalist to trail off at the end of a word just like the performer, and this is one of my biggest pet peeves. 3. The very beginning of tubes. I never, ever have a tube beginning at the very start of a measure... because most consonant sounds aren't going to be picked up! So truncating the beginning of a tube is a good idea. But even worse... 4. The upward slide at the beginning of tubes. So many authors don't chart this but really should. Having a tube without the necessary upward slide absolutely punishes good singers for trying to do a good job and is extremely frustrating. I speak from experience! MiscellaneousWhen I began charting vocals that were good enough to be released, I was using the 128th tip brush. I've learned that this is rarely necessary and am now saving myself a significant amount of time when charting by using the good ol' 64th tip brush. Just make sure you're scrubbing accurately and often (that is, constantly). I learned how to scrub from Nyxyxylyth's tutorial on YouTube, which you can find here, but you might also want to check out my post in this thread. I hope this post is helpful, and I welcome feedback, comments, suggestions, or criticisms. Thanks for reading! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Series note: The following post is part of the Rutgers Graduate Student Blog Throwback Thursday blog series, in which we will repost one of our most popular blog posts from years past.
Last week I began a list of things I learned from my recent experience applying to postdoc positions — here is the second half of the list. As I mentioned in the previous post, keep in mind that the process can vary a lot across disciplines, besides the fact that even in the same field different people can have quite different experiences. So this just represents my own experience in biophysics, but I hope it will be useful to someone else! We will start the second half with what I think is one of the most important points… Continue reading "Applying for postdoctoral positions in the sciences, part II (Throwback Thursday)"

This is Clay and today I'm going to tell you five signs that the active no contact rule is working.
A lot of people will look to their ex to know if the no contact rule is working.
They think:
"Is my ex reaching out to me?"
"is my ex calling me?"
"is my ex telling me they miss me?"
"is my ex trying to meet up for coffee or not?"
What you really should be doing is looking at yourself, because the reason you want to do active no contact is for yourself, not for your ex.
1. You feel better emotionally.
The first sign that it's working is that you feel better on an emotional level.
You are not driven by emotions like neediness, desperation, loneliness, anger or rage. You can actually feel a calmness washing over you, you can actually handle your life, and you are not in crisis emergency mode. You realize that no matter what happens, you can handle life and you are a whole person in and of yourself.
2. You are doing new things with your life.
You are starting to move your life in a new direction, not just for the sake of keeping busy or to distract yourself from what you are going through. You actually care about these new things that you are doing and you are taking your life in a new direction.
Your life has become about growth and moving forward, not just about keeping busy or not just about distracting yourself. You are not just about putting on this act to make your ex think you are doing new things. You are actually doing new things because you really care about them..
3. You are feeling more self-love and acceptance.
You give a damn about your own life and want it to go well. You are not inflicting suffering on yourself by doing things that don't really feel good, just for the sake of getting some sort of distant goal in the future, like getting back together with your ex.
Instead, you love your own life and give a damn about having the best life you can for yourself in this moment.
4. You have been spending more time on yourself.
You are not basing your life around your ex or sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring. You are not afraid to go out and do something for yourself because you are worried that they might call you back, after you have bombarded them with messages.
Instead, you have let go of the feeling that you might miss out on something because you have started living your life for yourself and taking care of yourself.
Once you have started nourishing yourself with healthy foods, exercising, and really loving yourself all the way to your core, that is another sign active no contact is really working.
5. You don't feel so reactive about your ex.
The fifth sign that the active no contact rule is working is that you no longer live in reaction to your ex.
If your ex says something painful or hurtful to you, you don't have all of your hopes dashed and spend the next several days sulking and feeling like your chances of getting them back are ruined.
Of course, if your ex says something bad about you, you might feel bad about it, that's fine. But it shouldn't absolutely devastate you and crush your entire world. You aren't living in reaction to them.
We've mentioned this before, but the ideal place to be is in response, where can consciously choose what you do next, rather than automatically reacting from a gut-level emotional place where you are driven by emotions like anger, fear, loss, sadness or loneliness.
When you start to look at the big picture, then you can see that the no contact rule is really about yourself.
No contact is really about helping yourself heal from the breakup. Healing makes it so you can move forward to have either the best possible relationship with your ex or with someone new if you are ready to move on and start a new chapter of your life.
The no contact rule can help you present the best part of yourself to your ex, but obviously there are no guarantees with getting your ex back. I can't give you some secret psychological move that's going to give you all a hundred percent success rate in getting your ex back.
However, doing the active no contact rule will absolutely make your life better and, if you do get back in touch with your ex, they will be able to see that you are a better person. That gives you the best possible chance of saving your relationship.
If you would like to learn more about active no contact and how to get together with your ex, please click here now and get a free copy of my report, 5 Unconscious Signs Your Ex Still Wants You.

Relationships should come with an icon that shows you how much time you have left like your phone's battery.
The Biggest Relation In World Is FRIENDSHIP
The Biggest Relation In World Is FRIENDSHIP
No matter what kind of relationship it is, it always needs both sides to survive.
Single is not a status. It is a word that best describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others.

With rising sales and lower prices, Ashbourne Hills and Radnor Green should remain a great home choice through 2012.
Ashbourne Hills is a nice community located just off Darley Rd in North Wilmington with a Claymont address. With over 600 homes, Ashbourne Hills contains a great mixture of split level, ranch, and colonial house styles. The community is ideally located just south of Naamans Rd, north of Harvey Rd and west of the Philadelphia Pike providing immediate access to all of North Wilmington. With easy access to both to I-95 and I-495, it is a great location for commuting into Wilmington, Philadelphia, and New Jersey.
Development in Ashbourne Hills began in the mid 1950s. Per the tax records, the earliest homes were completed in 1953 with the bulk of the construction finished by 1958. Small ranches were built in 1954/55 along the southern portion of the development along Naamans Rd and Topaz but the large majority of homes were the popular split level design. Construction of these began in 1953 with the earliest homes being built to the north just south of Darley Rd with construction continuing south. 1954 and 1955 recorded the greatest number of completed properties. Homes ranged in size from approximately 1250 sqft to over 3000 sqft with the most popular split level model being 1775 sqft in both 3 and 4 bedroom designs.
Radnor Green is just adjacent to Ashbourne Hills to the south continuing down to Harvey Rd. This provides immediate access to I95 for easy commutes into Wilmington and throughout northern New Castle County. Radnor Green developed while Ashbourne Hills was under construction. Construction began in 1954 but the bulk of the development was built between 1956 and 1959 with construction continuing through the early 1960s. With approximately 400 properties, many homes are quite similar to designs seen in Ashbourne Hills but over time the average size grew seeing more properties above the 2000 sqft size. There was also more balanced mix between split levels, ranches, and colonials.
The home prices and sales activity in both developments have followed much the same path seen in communities throughout the area. Prices and activity both peaked in 2006 when there were 54 sales with an average settled price of $235,000. The average home was on the market for 35 days. Sales activity fell through 2011 when there were only 15 home sales in the community but has recovered nicely in 2012 with 27 homes sold year to date. Prices have continued to fall with the average sales price in 2011 of $190,000 falling to an average price of $175,000 in 2012. The average days on the market has also risen to over 3 months.
With its great location and solid homes, both Ashbourne Hills and Radnor Green should continue to be popular choice in the future. They both offer easy commuting options into Wilmington, Philadelphia, northern Delaware, and much of southeastern PA. With an expected stronger economy, home prices may well have already bottomed earlier in 2012 and should remain steady or rise going forward. Be sure to include these communities in any home search in north Wilmington.

Vodafone's victory over India's tax authorities may have a sting in the tail. The UK phone giant's $2.2 billion Supreme Court win is a boost to India's battered reputation. It also bodes well for firms such as AT&T, which are threatened with similar tax bills. But if the government now changes the law, future offshore M&A deals may not escape so easily.
The verdict is clearly great news for Vodafone, which had set aside $5 billion in case the ruling went against it and it had to pay penalties on top of its tax bill.
It also looks promising for other firms which have been threatened with similar cases. These includes the likes of SABMiller, which has a pending case related to its 2006 purchase of the Indian division of Fosters, and multinationals including AT&T, E*Trade and Kraft.
And even though the ruling is bad for the Indian government's coffers, it is good news for the country's international standing. Foreign investors and even domestic firms appear genuinely delighted that the court has taken what they see as a fair legal decision rather than blindly siding with the government.
Vodafone argued successfully that the Indian government has no jurisdiction over a transaction between two foreign companies occurring on foreign soil. In no other major economy would a similar transaction between two foreign entities have faced such taxes. What's more, if anyone was liable for tax it should have been the seller, Hutchison Whampoa, rather than Vodafone.
Yet while the legal case was straightforward, there is a strong moral counterargument. The business that changed hands was entirely based in India. While it's good news that the rule of law has been upheld, the law can be changed.
The end of the legal battle gives the Indian government an opportunity to reflect on whether to bring new legislation. Other countries have struggled to tax the sale and purchase of assets that are controlled by offshore companies. But that doesn't mean India shouldn't try.

|Drachenhaus - Owls
Owls by Drachenhaus is a spooky and hauntingly beautiful ode to the Twin Peaks inspired idea that the Owl is a spiritual entity ... with one foot in reality and the other in the spirit world.
Drachenhaus are James Vader and Angie Pfeffer, a Post-Industrial two-piece residing in Berlin. Both share duties on analogue synths, both bash away at drum machines, both whisper and moan their vocals. However Angie is known to dance and James is prone to fondling a guitar. When playing live, they like to add improvised sections to their songs, extending them, jamming and responding to the acoustic feedback from each other and the radiance of the audience. Their music could be described as Depeche Mode collaborating with Goblin to produce a soundtrack for the next John Carpenter movie.

text: Health / temperature Best Way to Take Temperature Not the Most Pleasant But if you want to be sure about the numbers, rectal is the way to go By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff Posted Nov 18, 2015 5:20 PM CST Copied It's for the best. (Shutterstock) (Newser) – In what STAT describes as an "exhaustive" 24-page report, there's one type of thermometer that rises above the rest when it comes to gauging body temperature. Rectal thermometers remain the "gold standard" for getting the most accurate reading, HealthDay News reports, even though "it's no one's favorite method." For the study appearing in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers examined 75 published studies, comprised of more than 8,600 patients total, that compared "central" thermometers (i.e., either rectal ones or those that can get temps from a vein) with "peripheral" ones—the kind we stick under our tongues, in our armpits and ears, and on our foreheads, STAT notes. The results: Rectal thermometers were "highly accurate," while peripherals didn't perform as well, especially in detection of low-grade fevers and accuracy in measuring high-grade ones (the study found ear and armpit thermometers could be up to two degrees off in either direction). story continues below For most people with a minor cold, that isn't a big deal, lead author Dr. Daniel Niven tells STAT. But when you're dealing with certain groups—including older patients, those with immunity issues, and patients with tumors—it's critical to use the most accurate thermometers that can pick up even the slightest fever, the study notes. The least-accurate instruments for temp-taking? Armpit thermometers, Niven says. The study didn't include infants or toddlers, so the recommendation to use rectal thermometers can't be extrapolated to them based on this study, NPR notes, though it adds that the American Academy of Pediatrics gives a thumbs-up to rectal thermometers as the most accurate for kids under the age of 3. (Toucans don't need thermometers—they've got their own beaks to keep things in balance.)

Escape Routes – opening in SIM Gallery 24th of June
Escape Routes
Running away as a form of resistance.
Opening on Saturday 24th of June 3pm – 5pm.
Will be open Monday 26th – Thursday 29th, 10pm-4pm.
Exhibition by Mie Mogensen and Carissa Potter Carlson, guest artists that have been staying at the SÍM Residency in Seljavegur in June.
Escape Routes are mental spaces that permit you to go there, wherever that might be. With your mind, your physical form or both. You are able to be here and there, simultaneously. The drawings and objects presented act as installation trigger points to locate yourself within. And present the act of leaving as a form of love.
