Although Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have known each other since childhood, what we know as the formidable Black Keys outfit was formed in 2001. In the following two decades, the pair have been prolific with their blues rock: Delta Kream, their latest album, is their 10th, an average of one every two years. As they’ve grown older, their songwriting has been marked by a noticeable shift into the personal. After the four-album run with Danger Mouse that brought them commercial success and fame, 2019’s ‘Let’s Rock’ was a rawer and rustic self-produced record. They’ve gone even further on Delta Kream, a collection of covers of hill country blues artists that continue to inspire them; two decades in, it’s impossible to begrudge the Black Keys this moment.
The whole thing is, above all, deeply felt. They took just 10 hours to record the album across two days in December 2019, with little planning or rehearsals. Consisting often of first takes, it’s why the tracks feel appealingly loose and limber. Mainly covers of the works of R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, a sweet link to those fine bluesmen past is provided with the presence of their sidemen here, in Burnside’s slide guitarist Kenny Brown and Kimbrough’s bassist Eric Deaton.
It begins, though, with John Lee Hooker’s hazy and long epic ‘Crawling Kingsnake’, the blues rising above the smoke over the delta. Songs like ‘Louise’, ‘Do the Romp’, and ‘Walk with Me’ are slow and steady, all built on innate timing and repetition. The same can be said of the closing track ‘Come On and Go With Me’, a stretched-out piece mesmeric in its control. ‘Going Down South’ – complete with a surprising falsetto from Auerbach – and ‘Coal Black Mattie’ simmer with pace and panache, more melodic than the other songs. Auerbach does his best with the vocals throughout, keeping his delivery low and smoky, although, understandably, the blues emanating from his mouth rather than someone like Kimbrough was always going to lack the power and meaning of the original.
Not much differentiates the songs here: All are composed of the same cool delivery, the same crisp instrumentals. Chord progression is limited, the emphasis firmly on precise timing and inherent groove; as they cycle through each repetitious track, the result is intimidatingly authentic. Delta Kream is, in every sense, a musician’s album. There’s no hint of looking for commercial viability, although as this is The Black Keys, they still managed to find it (the album reached number six on the Billboard 200 and five on the UK album charts). Casual observers looking for the zest and raucousness of hits like ‘Gold On The Ceiling’ or ‘Lonely Boy’ will be found wanting on Delta Kream, but they are simply not the target audience. The way the songs of their idols flow out of Auerbach and Carney is genuine and joyful; full of unhurried rhythm and electric talent, their power lies in the personal.

"#Nofilter," Ryan captioned a pic of Blake on set in oversized clothes and no makeup.
She was in Ireland filming in a big puffy winter coat, pink sweatpants and a bright blue beanie.
In the upcoming film, she plays a woman who is plotting revenge against people who killed her family.
Maybe this latest burn is payback for when Blake posted a photo of Ryan Gosling and her husband on his birthday, cropping him out and writing, "Happy Birthday, baby."
On Blake's birthday, Ryan posted a photo of them, but cropped Blake out. "Happy Birthday to my amazing wife," he wrote.

I have been seeing pictures of Rhodochrosite every where this week, so naturally I decided to grab my favorite piece to work with. This led me to the choice for the Crystal of the Week. There are so many crystals to choose from, seriously, sometimes its a challenge to make a decision of which to share next! So I love looking for signs from the Universe that guide me to creating these posts. This is part of why I don’t have a specific day I share the crystal of the week, but hey, the thought just occurred to me that maybe if a set a specific time, the Universe will provide. Because the universe ALWAYS provides! I’ll do my best to keep it Thursdays, hows that sound? 😉
I had my first experience with Rhodochrosite about a year ago when planning for a retreat I was attending. I was asked to create a bath salt, aura spray and a lip balm for this women’s retreat, all infused with my crystal essences, of course. I also was commissioned to come up with crystals to incorporate into a crystal grid for all the attendees, specifically geared toward harnessing the divine feminine powers within, and assisting in releasing any blockages one may incur in doing this work. During discussion with the retreat leader, she and I narrowed down, out of the 1000’s of crystal choices, those that best served the women attending in stepping into their innate powers, and connecting with the divine feminine. Rhodochrosite is pricey penny, so purchasing a dozen for each sister was unfortunately not an option for the grid work, but I have the essence, which works fabulously in bath salts and product making. So, of course I wanted to get a little more intimate with this crystal ally. Upon connecting with it, I felt a warm sense of calm, combined with genuine love that resembled that of the descriptions of qualities the divine feminine exudes: Peace, comfort, love, protection, acceptance, a home like feeling. Like what it feels like to be wrapped in a warm cozy blanket and held by a sweet loving mother. Yeah, I got all that! It blew me away, and brought tears to my eyes. Now let me remind you that everyones experience with a particular crystal will vary slightly. Crystals work with us individually, on our own specific needs, but are geared to work in general categories of human necessities, just like essential oils. With that said, let me share with you some of the qualities and ailments this beautiful crystal can assist with.
As you may know, pink is the color-expression of love, virtually all pink stones have energies that relate to this central theme. In the case with Rhodochrosite, the love is geared first toward the self, specifically for the purpose of emotional healing. It assists us in doing the necessary work of recovery, reliving, and releasing the memories of ones emotional woundings. If there were moments in infancy, childhood or even past lives in which experiencing physical or emotional violence, severe shaming, or was otherwise thrown into a traumatizing emotional situation, the result can be a fixation of a portion of ones life-force energies at that point in time. In unreasoning panic, motivated by rational or irrational fear that ones survival is threatened, a person may make drastic compromises for survivals sake. Inner gifts, talents or contracts may be abandoned, repressed, or forgotten in an attempt to comply with the immediate demands of the outer situation. In addition to these direct losses, the energy it takes to keep the memories repressed can cause a serious drain on ones vitality.
Rhodochrosite works vibrationally to support self healing in these important areas. In meditation, or shamanic journeying, it can assist one in moving back in time for the recovering and reliving of the lost memories in order to releasing them for healing to truly begin. It can be used with affirmations or other rituals to release the memory and recover the energy that had been bound in this fixation or depleted. In some cases, certain traits or gifts can be remembered and brought back the into realm of the conscious self. Thus we find that ones gifts – that which makes us special and unique – may have been the very target of the wounds through which one lost touch with themselves. The healing of these types of wounds may be the most important inner process in ones life, because it allows one to reclaim the self one was born to be! Through its vibration of self-love and compassion for ones inner child, Rhodochrosite can be a valuable ally in such work.
Geared toward the heart chakra and solar plexus, Rhodochrosite softens the reliving of harsh experiences so that we may find the confidence to reclaim our inner power. I feel that in this doing, it also is working with the root chakra, healing the past wounds of our ancestors and family wounds that may have been passed on through our lineage. Rhodochrosite helps us to find the beauty in the darkest of situations we may once lived, and have not wanted to revisit, but gives us the courage to see through the pain and find the gifts that lie beneath the surface in the shadow self. When doing shadow work, it is vital that one sees the ultimate goal for doing such work is to find the golden nugget or keys to self mastery that wait for our recovery. These golden nuggets, or gifts that we all have uniquely, are part of our souls journey, and in bringing them to the light, we can then see that the darkness was merely the path way to our greatest expression of ourselves. I feel this actuality helps us to see that we must not fear the darkness, or the shadows with in us, but embrace them! They are that which drives us to our souls purpose. It is merely a rediscovery of the truths that were once buried within you. Rhodochrosite is also an excellent stone to use during soul retrieval and shamanic work.
What an incredibly kind, wise and compassionate ally Rhodochrosite is. I encourage all of you to consider taking a deeper look with in the shadows of your soul. Within those shadows lies the greatest gifts that are innately yours to keep. It is not easy work, nor is it clean, it’s quite messy- full of tears, and fears, and doubts…but what is on the other side of our fears is nothing but our greatest peace, our greatest joy, right? Working with Rhodochrosite will soften the blows, holding you safe and close to the divine feminine essence that is so kind, so comforting, compassionate and warm. It is safe to dive deep in the arms of Rhodochrosite. Allow yourself the rewards of this vital work. And self care, self care, self care! With the element of fire and water, Rhodochrosite puts the fire in your belly, giving you the gumption to face the inner demons, and the water element to cool and soothe your senses so that one may not feel defeated in this deep work. I hope you find the golden nuggets that lie deep within your beautiful souls. There is no greater joy in life than that which comes from the power of living in your truth, with all its entirety. May she light the pathway for your heart to shine its brightest. You can purchase Rhodochrosite tinctures here to entrain more fully and deeply. Our Divine Goddess WithIN line is infused with this crystal energy as well, or there is always the option of a customized product just for you available.
Namaste my friends, Aloha, and so much sweetness to you all. Thank you <3

We’ve not heard much about Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, other than the fact that it exists and that Elisabeth Moss will play the lead role. But now we know that an Orange is the New Black star will be joining Moss as a fellow Handmaid.
Deadline reports that Wiley has joined the show as Moira, Offred’s friend from before she became a Handmaid, and fellow trainee at the Red Center. Moira acts as Offred’s connection to life before the dystopian society of Gilead, and a confidante in the bizarre world where society is ruled by religious fundamentalists and fertile women are treated as property.
The series, which was ordered straight to a run of 10 episodes, is set to enter production this fall ahead of a premiere on the streaming service next year.


5 Tips to Make Your Home Feel Healthy

By making these slight changes, you can create a healthy environment in your home and make your family feel safe.
Take a look at these home interior solutions for a healthy and comfortable living.
Cover walls with Anti-microbial paint

Add more and more plants inside home
Consider adding plants in your home, or make a small garden in your balcony, or around your property. Plants not only add liveliness around the home but also absorb carbon dioxide and generate oxygen. You can home-grow your own Aloe Vera, Tulsi, Curry Tree, Spider plant, Lavender, Rosemerry, English Evy, Peace Lily, and many more. Some of these plants act as air-purifiers that cleanse the air inside your home and are beneficial for your health. Invest in a good pair of planters for a pretty presentation.
Go minimalistic for a clean comfortable home
The idea of a healthy and comfortable home is possible if we go minimalistic. By ditching unwanted decorating items and furniture in your house, you can create a clean and happy space. If you are planning to buy new furniture, start looking for options that are modern, light, easy-to-move, and washable. By keeping fewer items in your house, you can actually felicitate comfortable living with cleaner rooms and accessible dirt-free corners.
Breathe in clean air with an air purifier
Air pollution is a serious concern all across the globe. It has impacted our health significantly, and so, investing in an air purifier has become a need. Look for a good-quality air purifier that can filter out even minute particles to clean up the surrounding air. This simple addition to your home can protect you from lung and heart-related issues linked to polluted air. Invest in a state-of-the-art air purifier to make your living area look interesting.
Choose block out curtains for better sleep
It’s true that air and light are important to bring in some positivity and freshness in your home. But, do you know that light significantly interferes with sleep and triggers many serious illnesses if not taken care of on time. For better sleep, you must ensure there is complete darkness in a room, especially if you work in shifts and sleep during the day time. Buy a pair of block out curtains for your bedroom or install block out blinds to improve your sleep pattern.
By making these changes in your home, you can protect the health of your loved ones in the long run.
The Corona Virus outbreak is a sad reality in today’s world. It has affected thousands of lives and will continue for a while. Hopefully, the time passes soon and it puts minimal impact on the lives around. Till then, stay at home and take care of yourself and your family.

Odisha to include local produce in ICDS and PDS schemes first time
Odisha for the first time will include locally cultivated ragi into the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and Public Distribution Scheme (PDS). This is being done as a part of the State Millet Mission that was launched by the Odisha Government in 2017.
In 2020, the Odisha Government has procured 95,000 quintals of ragi as compared to 18,000 quintals in 2019. This has been achieved through the System of Millets Intensification by the Odisha Government. Under the programme, the State Government provides incentives for three years. Rs 5,000 per hectare is offered in the first year, Rs 3,000 per hectare in the second year and Rs 1,500 per hectare in the third year.
Odisha Millet Mission
The mission was launched to help 1000s of tribal farmers in Odisha. Millet, on the climate resilient and nutritious crops were traditionally cultivated and consumed in Odisha. However, due to the agricultural policies of 1960s that focused on rice and wheat to meet food security led to the decline in millet production. The decline increased even after including millets in National Food security Act, 2013.
The OMM was launched to change this scenario and boost millet production in the state.

A Tie That Binds
James Antonio was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1943. After a two-year stint as an army paratrooper, he attended Indiana University in Bloomiington, Indiana where he majored in business and philosophy. From college, he joined the corporate world as a Yellow Pages representative for the Bell Telephone System. It was here that he challenged the age-old corporate rule of the necktie for men. He was fired for that decision and later went on to become the first man in the nation to file his unprecedented federal sex discrimination lawsuit against a major corporation for violating his civil rights.
A Tie That Binds is a story that not only tackles the human relationship, but also timeless philosophical questions of morality and prejudice. It is about bucking the system, of rejecting corporate greed and extravagance after having been drawn into it. It is about love and heartbreak, losing and winning. It is one man's story of his search for self, his search for truth and justice.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7
What happened to the Samsung Galaxy Note 6? It looks like Samsung will skip that iteration and head straight to number seven if the usually reliable @evleaks is correct. Furthermore, we have a smattering of promised specifications from the same source.
Starting with the branding and confirmed name for Samsung's next flagship phablet: yes, it's going to be called the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, as you can see from the logo. Mr Blass revealed that Samsung won't be making a Note 7 and a Note 7 Edge, there will be just the one model, with an edge-like curved display - but it won't carry the 'Edge' suffix.
The Note 7's specs look rather appealing. This 5.7-inch curved QHD Super AMOLED screened device will pack an iris scanner for security. It will offer 64GB of built-in storage plus microSD expandability, a 12MP dual-pixel autofocus camera system and a 5MP selfie cam, and IP68 dust/water resistance rating. That leaves a few key specs uncertain, such as RAM, USB connector type, processor, and a few others. Colours available will be black, silver, and blue coral.
Various Twitterers were impressed by Samsung managing to make an IP68 Note with expandable storage and, of course, the S Pen silo design.
Google smartphone design
Google is readying to launch its own designed and branded smartphone, according to The Daily Telegraph. Before the year is out this new device, not to be confused with the Nexus range of devices, will be launched to bring Google's hardware vision to the market.
The new Google device will allow the firm to flex its design muscles and exert tighter control over design, manufacturing and software. If you are trying to envision what this means perhaps its useful to think of other Google hardware such as the Chromecast, Pixel C 2-in-1, and Chromebook Pixel. It will be fascinating to see how Google pitches its own smartphone(s) when/if they launch later this year.


Climate change is considered to be one of the greatest challenges facing mankind. It is believed to be caused by greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. Climate change can be mitigated by ecosystems, such as forests, water bodies and bogs that absorb carbon dioxide emitted into the air.
Climate statistics provide an overview of greenhouse gas emissions in Estonia. The data help us see what precisely causes greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate statistics provide information on
- greenhouse gas emissions per GDP and per capita;
- greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector;
- emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide;
- how much carbon dioxide is bound by ecosystems.
Data on greenhouse gas emissions help to predict climate change and implement national adaptation measures.

Donna from Staten Island, a caller on Tuesday’s Sean Hannity Show, has provided Hannity.com with a pair of photos–one of the Democratic ballot and one of the GOP ballot–that perfectly illustrate the bizarre way the Pennsylvania GOP elects its delegates to the Republican National Convention. The photos were taken by Donna’s sister, who is voting in Pennsylvania’s 15th district.
Take a look at the side-by-side comparison of the two ballots. On the left, you’ll see the Democratic ballot. On the right, the GOP. Notice a difference?
The Democratic ballot clearly shows the name of the candidate each delegate is committed to. The GOP ballot offers no such information.
As Sean and others have been arguing for weeks now, this lack of information on the Pennsylvania ballot itself means that voters could potentially vote for one candidate in the state-wide vote (which is worth 17-delegates) and delegates who support a different candidate in their district delegate vote (which is worth a total of 54-delegates.)
While it’s too late to change the system now, the confusing way in which Pennsylvania, and other states, choose their delegates is something the GOP would be wise to address moving forward.

Social realism is the term used for work produced by painters, printmakers, photographers, writers and filmmakers that aims to draw attention to the real socio-political conditions of the working class as a means to critique of the power structures behind these conditions. While the movement's characteristics vary from nation to nation, it almost always utilizes a form of descriptive or critical realism. The term is sometimes more narrowly used for an art movement that flourished between the two World Wars as a reaction to the hardships and problems suffered by common people after the Great Crash.
An example of a work not radical in its time but seen as too explicit for later audiences, The Warren Cup was most likely proudly displayed in a Roman home, but then was considered too deviant for audiences right until the s. Depicting a Greco-Roman practice called pederasty, where young men would take older men as mentors and sexual partners, the what would later be considered homosexual acts depicted on the cup were hidden from public display for centuries before their exhibition, after which they inspired countless gay artists and writers into more radical artworks. The story of the seduction of Leda by Zeus disguised as a swan is filled with erotic potential, so its no wonder it has been attempted by so many, from Michelangelo though his version is sadly lost to Cezanne.
Since the beginning of civilization, humans have incorporated sexuality into erotic art, worship, and daily life. There have been cultures and times were explicit references to sexuality were more accepted by societal norms, and times when there have not. However, the repressive view of sexuality espoused by the Church in the Middle Ages, and then the repressed sexuality of the Victorian era have left many in the Western world believing that few if any in the past were willing and able to accept and even revel in their sexuality.
Last year it was exhibitions from the 90s ; this year it is sex. The Frieze show will include monumental and photo-realistic paintings of heterosexual intercourse by Betty Tompkins, works with self-explanatory titles such as Fuck Painting 5 — art so explicit that no gallery at the time would show them. The other artists include Penny Slinger, who uses photographs and life casts of herself in order to own her sexuality; Renate Bertlmann, who uses fetishistic objects, including dildos and baby dummies, in work that confronts social stereotypes assigned to masculine and feminine; and the Polish avant-garde artist Natalia LL, who filmed young, attractive female models in poses that would not look out of place in a porn film.
Several months ago, my colleague wrote an article about feminist art. There are huge differences among feminists and feminist artists. For example, liberal feminism and feminist artists who accept this form of feminism insists on equal opportunities for women and men both in society and in the art.
For American feminist painter Betty Tompkins and her art, the time has finally come. The year-old artist is finally getting the attention she deserves, with two major institutions currently showing her provocative work, and a grand retrospective of her pornographic paintings and drawings being planned for If we think about the fact that Betty Tompkins created her very first Fuck Painting back inthe recognition was surely long overdue.

Portuguese neorealism was a marxist literary movement that began slightly before Salazar's reign. It was mostly in line with socialist realism. They set out to explore the spirit of their age through the shapes and colours of daily life.

Taxes are going to go up
The promise of no gimmicks or give-aways in George Osborne’s last Budget before the election was greeted with widespread disbelief. But there were no pre-election rabbits to be plucked out of the hat. On the contrary. The Chancellor seemed to find virtue in a “steady-as-she-goes-and-you-will-benefit” strategy, which is how his party aims to fight the election—casting Labour as the party which will take incalculable risks and torch the last few years of hard work. The coalition parties will boast that the economy has turned the corner and returned to growth, which the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has revised up a little, and that the UK now has record levels of employment and rising real incomes. So, why risk the reputation for competence?
Probe a little, however, and you can see that the Chancellor’s Budget strategy is only slightly less flawed than that of his opponents. The idea that the economy, which needs the clampdown on public investment to be reversed, can get through the next Parliament only with spending cuts as the Chancellor proposes, or with much fewer spending cuts as Labour insists is a fantasy. There is going to be a rise in the tax burden, which no one wants to admit…..“more:”

A Short Story on the Power of Words
“…been spotted. Young female at 5’8, wearing black pants and red shirt, no shoes. Headed toward Tide’s Inn Restaurant and Hotel on Green Water Road…”
Cyrus Evans walked through the entrance of the restaurant, letting the wooden doors with their glistening gold trim close behind him softly. His radio, clipped to the back of his belt, buzzed with static for a moment, then went mute. The restaurant was silent, considering there wasn’t a customer left. They’d all been evacuated quietly and quickly, due to the fact that a certain individual had been found once again.
Miya Nolan was a 13-year-old kid who, for the past week, had been popping up all over town. She hadn’t really committed any crimes, per say; she didn’t injure, break and entry, or steal from anyone. The only thing she could really be accused of was disturbing the peace or running from the police… Or being insane.
So far, she’d climbed onto a gas station rooftop and three housetops, broken several things in different places (all by accident, witnesses claimed) and been the cause of four long police chases. She had outrun the scent dogs, too, completely disappearing. Cyrus had been chosen to try and negotiate with the girl, who had finally shown up at a fancy restaurant. He didn’t care to talk to her – surely there could have been someone else who could have done this job. Maybe someone who was trained in dealing with kids?
But his bosses insisted. How hard can it be? Talk her into coming peacefully. If she tries to run, grab her. There was no one else available. Cyrus shrugged and walked away, knowing it was useless to argue. They had made their decision.
For a moment, he thought perhaps the others had made a mistake – he didn’t see anyone in here. A step further into the restaurant proved he wasn’t alone.
Miya Nolan, with her hair a tangled mess and her clothes dirty and torn, sat on the fancy carpeted steps that led to the balcony of the restaurant. She was looking downward, fingering an invisible image into the plush carpet. She started humming softly; unaware that anyone was in the room. Cyrus listened closely to her hum, recognizing the sad, slow tune and tried to see what she was doing.
He wondered if he should wait for her to notice him, or if he should announce his presence first. While trying to decide, he observed her a little more. Her feet were bare, filthy and calloused. Where the clothes were torn, she had blood-crusted scratches and welts. Her arms had bruises, as did the right side of her face, just behind her chin. She had long eyelashes, straight jet-black hair and a gentle expression to her countenance. Her body frame was lanky and skinny; Cyrus assumed it was because of a lack of food for the past week that the girl appeared so anorexic.
He took a step closer and coughed lightly. Miya jumped, snapping her head up to look around, and then rose to her feet at the sight of him. He stepped back cautiously, putting up his hands. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you,” he soothed.
The girl cocked her head slightly at him and crouched down on the steps, waiting for him to move. “You have been watching me?” she stated clearly, but with a questioning tone. She stared at him curiously through her bright green eyes.
Cyrus nodded hesitantly. “Just for a moment,” he replied. “What are you doing?”
She shrugged, a dejected look falling over her face. “Nobody’s doing anything,” she said, tracing the carpet again. Cyrus frowned. Okay, then… He walked toward her slowly. Her bright green eyes seemed as if they would look right through him. “You’re a cop,” she pronounced, tilting her head a little, as if to get a better view of him. She bristled and watched him slip nearer, holding up his hand as he did so. “I just want to sit down with you,” he reassured her. When he had settled on a step just below, he saw her shoulders relax again.
“My name’s Cyrus,” he said cheerfully. “And yeah, I’m with the police. Your name is Miya, isn’t it?”
The girl began humming again, this time swaying in time to the song. Cyrus tried to catch her eye. “Miya?” he said her name softly, as if saying it too loud might scare her. “Miya.” She kept singing and didn’t look at him. Cyrus waved his hand close to her and she moved away, glancing nervously at him.
“Miya, are you okay?” he asked, slightly uncertain. The girl frowned for a moment – then shook her head, giving him a small smile. “I am not Miya.”
“You’re not?” Cyrus said, surprised. “Then, who are you?”
Miya smiled. “I am nobody,” she replied.
“Nobody,” Cyrus repeated, folding his hands and frowning. Miya nodded, still smiling and rocking to the beat of her song. “And your name is Cyrus?” she said curiously. Confused, he tried to keep the conversation going. “Yeah.”
Miya bobbed her head. “It’s a good name. Did you know it means ‘of the sun’? Or it could mean ‘lord’, too. It’s Persian.”
“Oh,” Cyrus stated, bewildered by her sudden, small speech of knowledge. “No… I didn’t know.”
Miya nodded and continued daydreaming, smoothing over the carpet to draw again. Geez, this is so awkward, Cyrus thought. He took off his hat and ran a hand through his think sandy-blond hair, irritated. “So, uh… can I ask you some questions?”
A few strands of her black hair fell across her face as she looked at him with inquisitiveness. She listened closely, taking a break from drawing her indiscernible illustrations on the carpet. She waited, and Cyrus coughed in unease.
“Well, first off – why don’t you tell me where your shoes went?”
Miya shook her head, silent for a moment. “Nobody gave the shoes to a homeless man. He needed them a lot more.” Cyrus had trouble making sense of her explanation, but he nodded to her as if he understood. Nobody gave them to a homeless man? It took him another moment, before he realized that the girl was referring to herself as ‘Nobody.’
“But… you’ve been running all over town. Look at your feet – don’t they hurt? Shouldn’t you have kept your shoes?”
Miya smiled and shook her head, touching the side of her foot. “There are more shoes at home. The man needed them more – he had no bottoms to his shoes. Just newspaper and dirt.”
“Why haven’t you gone home and gotten more shoes, then?”
Miya shrugged. “Nobody will,” she replied. “Just have to find it. I have to find a high place.”
“A high place,” Miya explained, as if she were talking to another child; “So that I can see where the house is: ‘Cept I have to find it before dark. Da will get angry if I’m not…” Her words trailed off softly, and she shuddered, as if a sudden chill had taken hold.
“I could help you get home,” Cyrus offered. Miya looked at him thoughtfully and asked, “Would it be in a police car?”
When he nodded, the girl smiled stiffly and shook her head. “My Da said that being in a police car is bad.” She stared at thin air as she thought for a moment.
“It’s not bad if we’re just trying to help you get home,” Cyrus said slowly. “The people who break the law get put in the car so we can take them to jail.”
Miya frowned and her head hung a little. She spoke after a silent moment passed between them. “I… I ran from the other police.” She looked over at Cyrus, her clear green eyes showing worry. “Does that mean I have to go to jail?” Cyrus reached out to touch her hand, shaking his head. She flinched, moving a couple inches away.
“I don’t think you’ll be going to jail, Miya,” Cyrus replied, with a little irony lining his tone. “But why were you running from the police? Did something happen?”
Miya’s face transformed from worry to dread – or fear. Cyrus couldn’t discern which. When she looked away and didn’t respond for a while, Cyrus tried to prod the story out of her. He already knew part of the story, from a cashier in the grocery store, where the whole thing started.
Miya and her father had been shopping and the cashier had been the one to check them out. Miya tried to strike up a conversation with the cashier numerous times, asking different questions; but the father kept telling her to shut up, be quiet, and calling her “dumb” and “idiot”. When Miya pressed on, the father raised his hand as if he was going to slap her. Backing away, she tripped over a large stand of spaghetti sauce jars, which fell over with her and broke. The father yanked her out of the mess and snapped at her; he kept acting as if he was going to hit her, until she broke free of his grip and ran toward the exit. The manager came out to calm Miya’s father down, but the father marched away, leaving everything behind.
At the time, the store’s exit doors had been malfunctioning, so they didn’t open when Miya tried to leave. She saw her father coming and threw herself through the thin sheet of glass; then ran off before anyone could stop her. So dumb, Cyrus had initially thought. But looking at the kid now… something just didn’t seem right. The girl had mental problems. “I broke a window,” Miya whispered, breaking the cop from his thoughts.
“I know,” Cyrus said softly. “Can you tell me why?”
“My Da got angry. I broke a bunch of spaghetti sauces. He was going to punish me again,” she said. “He doesn’t like it when I talk to other people.”
At this last revelation, Miya began to cover her mouth with one hand and her body unconsciously started to curl into a protective ball. Her words turned into whispers, soft and frightened. Cyrus could see her fingernails were bitten to the quick, and her hands slightly shook. These were signs of constant anxiety and fear. Cyrus didn’t doubt that there was some abuse at home.
“But Nobody likes to talk to people,” Miya said, through her curled fingers. “Can’t help it. People are interesting and Nobody doesn’t talk to them much.”
“Don’t you go to school? Talk to friends?” He was getting used to the girl talking in a second-person sense.
Miya shook her head and absentmindedly ran her fingers through her dark, tangled hair. “Da keeps me at home. Nobody doesn’t have friends…” She hesitated. “Well, I have my dog. He’s a boxer named Alexander. He plays with me, but he always chews up my stuff. Da hates it when he does that; he says he doesn’t buy me things to make Alexander sick.” Her face turned into a frown and shrugged. “I never saw him get sick, though. Do dogs get sick if they eat cotton fuzz?” She turned to Cyrus in question.
“Uh… I had a cat that would throw up fur balls on my bed. I’ve never had a dog, so I don’t know… I guess he probably would, or… it would get digested.” Cyrus stuttered. The girl grinned. “Fur balls?”
Cyrus smiled. “Yeah, he would go under my blankets while I was sleeping and just hack up a big, wet blob of his fur, dirt and mucus and stuff. It’s gross, really.”
Miya smiled. “I think it would be kinda funny.”
Cyrus’s radio buzzed with static and a few muffled words. They would be coming in soon, to come get her. He had to do something, or she would freak out when they came in. The chase would start all over again.
“Miya,” Cyrus started.
“I’m not Miya.”
“Okay… uh, can I ask why you think you’re Nobody?”
The girl-called-Nobody frowned, laying her head on her knees and drew on the carpet again. “It’s what Da says. I’m nothing, nobody… I’m a worthless, brainless heap of bones that he has to feed and pay for.” She was quiet for moment, and her hand came up to trace a thin scar that lined her hairline. Her eyes were downcast and she wouldn’t look at Cyrus anymore. “I’m not Miya anymore. I’m just Nobody.”
Cyrus didn’t know what to say. Inside, he was infuriated – both with the girl’s father for being so cruel; then for his own cynical, condemnatory view of her situation. He berated himself for it. How could I be so awfully judgmental? Why? Cyrus wanted to bang his head on the wall.
Miya stared at him as he was in deep thought, and he could feel her eyes watching his emotions. He glanced at her and smiled grimly.
“You’re angry,” Miya said, once again letting her voice sink into a whisper. Cyrus chuckled hoarsely and shook his head in denial, but she wouldn’t have it. “Yeah, you are. Nobody’s Da gets that look in his eyes when he wants to punish me.”
“Does your Da hit you, Miya?”
“I’m not Miya,” she said firmly, turning her head away. Cyrus knew the answer. “That’s what some of the bruises are on your body. And the scar on your forehead,” he stated.
Miya didn’t answer. She was shaking, though. “Da said if I ever told anyone, he would kill me,” she murmured fearfully. She gave him a glance, her hands trembling again as they lowered from her mouth. “I don’t want to go back.”
“He’s not going to get to you,” Cyrus reassured the girl resolutely. He sat on the step next to her and lightly laid a hand on her head. “He’s not going to call you nobody anymore or threaten to kill you. We’ll find a place where you can be Miya again.”
Miya turned her head away from him, tears reflecting the deep loneliness and fear in her eyes. “Da says I’m-”
“It’s not true,” Cyrus interrupted. “Everybody is somebody. They should be able to talk to people when they want to, and go to school and have friends. No one should be mistreated or be called a Nobody.” He paused, waiting for a reply. Miya sat perfectly still, eyes closed and listening. She didn’t say anything, although a silent tear dripped onto the fancy carpet between her feet. Cyrus looked around.
At the doors, there were three people standing, waiting on him. His chief motioned for him to wrap it up, and Cyrus signaled for two minutes more, mouthing the words.
Gently stroking the dark hair away from her face, he spoke softly; “Miya?” Her eyes fluttered open, blinking away tears and glancing at him.
Cyrus stared back thoughtfully. “I know you’re scared of the police, but will you trust me? I can help you find a good place to stay, where your father won’t be able to hurt you.”
“I won’t go to jail?” she whispered.
“No. You haven’t done anything wrong,” the cop promised. Miya sat up and blinked, thinking about it. Cyrus lightly turned her face his way and wiped the remaining tears away with his fingers. “You are somebody. You are a sweet, gentle and beautiful young lady named Miya. If you want to get away from him, you can tell the police about your father and they will make sure he doesn’t hurt you again. We’ll find a good place for you to stay. You can make friends and talk to people when you want.. but you have to let me and other people help you.” The cop paused, to see if she understood. Miya stared at him uncertainly. Standing up, he held out a hand. Miya took in a deep breath. “Will you be there?” She asked warily.
He smiled. “I can’t promise that, but I can try to be a friend,” he offered. Miya’s expression turned from stunned to utter delight in all of three seconds. Her eyes glowed and a smile appeared out of pure contentment. “Okay,” she agreed, taking his hand. That was simple enough, Cyrus thought with a smile.
“So what’s your name?” Cyrus asked, leading her toward the door, where the others waited. “I am Miya,” was her happy reply.

The Role of Ontologies within Unified Data Models
Before tackling the complexity of disparate data sources, you need to understand how semantic abstraction layers can save you from a world of pain.
Data management professionals know that how you model your data directly constrains how flexibly you can analyze it.
When accessing analytics in the cloud, users want to tame the complexity of disparate data sources. When you consolidate relational sources that embody divergent data schemas and definitions, you are inviting a world of pain. Rollup of those sources for unified drilldown can't take place until you run it all through a gauntlet of data integration, matching, merging, and cleansing.
Even then, the potential for data to become incoherent is always present. Typically, one must make the resultant data set available in relational third-normal form. Querying across multistructured sources might involve transforming nonrelational data to relational schemas that support SQL access. It might even involve keeping data in its source formats and offering agile query access through an abstraction that can do justice to the myriad semantics. However, that doesn't always ensure that the full original context of data can survive its convoluted transformations.
That's where unified data models can save the day. These semantic abstraction layers ensure that the data assets being consumed have these characteristics:
- Consolidated: Consolidation usually entails bringing together all relevant data into a physically and/or logically integrated data repository. This repository may be a data lake, data warehouse, or another cloud database that has been optimized for analytics, or it may even be a distributed data fabric.
- Cleansed: Data cleansing requires transformation, matching, merging, correcting, and enhancing of all data prior to loading into repositories. Cloud providers often deliver these capabilities through data profiling, data cleansing, data augmentation, and master data management services.
- Current: Having up-to-date data may require accelerating the extraction, preparation, and delivery of data from source applications to business intelligence, reporting, and other consuming applications. To make this happen, the data platform vendor may provide distributed caching, event stream processing, and in-memory data integration capabilities through their own solutions or partner offerings.
- Conformed: Achieving data conformity typically involves harmonizing all relevant data to common formats, vocabularies, schemas, dimensions, and hierarchies. Typically, this involves enabling query, reporting, dashboarding, and other analytics access through APIs to a semantic abstraction layer.
- Comprehensible: As the complexity of data grows, ontologies become a more important tool for ensuring that the unified data model is comprehensible. Ontologies -- and the related notions of glossaries and taxonomies -- are principally oriented toward data's analytical uses within and across disparate data-store implementations. Framed in Resource Description Format (RDF) and other formats, ontologies are artifacts of analysis geared to semantic query and knowledge discovery. They provide views of the concepts, relations, and rules for a particular area of business information, irrespective of how that information may be stored as data.
In the broader perspective of advanced analytics, ontologies support the following use cases:
Building semantic models: Developers explicitly model semantics as RDF ontologies and/or related logical structures such as taxonomies, thesauri, and topic maps. These ontologies are used to drive the creation of structured content that instantiates the entities, classes, relationships, attributes, and properties defined in the ontologies.
Mediating between heterogeneous semantics: Developers use ontologies and other semantic models to drive the creation of mappings, transformations, and aggregations among existing, structured data sets.
Mining the semantics implicit in unstructured formats: Developers use natural-language processing and pattern-recognition tools to extract the implicit semantics from unstructured text sources.
Managing semantics in a consolidated repository: Application environments require repositories or libraries to manage ontologies and other semantic objects and maintain the rules, policies, service definitions, and other metadata to support the life-cycle management of application semantics.
Governing semantics through comprehensive controls: Application environments require that various controls -- on access, change, versioning, auditing, and so forth -- be applied to ontologies; otherwise, it would be meaningless to refer to them as "controlled vocabularies."
You might regard ontologies as metadata applicable to the deep analytic meaning of data. As such, they provide a key semantic stratum within which all data-driven insights are firmly rooted.

I used tcpdump to capture all traffics on the good probe, and found all the ports that the probe has send a SYN on, they are:
8443 or 8080 depending on if HTTPS or HTTP is used.
note: the command I used is:
tcpdump -i eth2 host SAMHOSTNAME and 'tcp[tcpflags] & tcp-syn == tcp-syn'
hope this helps.
Note: I've learned a new way of identifying those blocked firewall from my friend James, if you run following command quick enough you should be able to see what's wrong:
netstat -an|grep SYN

This visualisation is of a proposed 8 storey office building, with retail and coffee shop at ground floor. You can compare the final image with the computer model below to see what we did in 3D. I prefer to create as much of the image as possible in the 3D model and keep photoshop work to a minimum. Partly that's just how I like to work, but it has the giant benefit that it increases our ability to adopt client changes as late into the process as possible, and minimise the impact of that one final tweak to the design.

From Michigan County Atlas
The first settler in the area was Colonel Samuel Mapes, in 1831 - in the town itself, Rufus Tenney. The Hartland P.O., named after its township, in 1837. George Griffin opened the first store in 1839, where for many years town meetings took place. Amos Albright built a gristmill, and in 1849 Lyman Bishop opened a foundry. By 1878 the village also included several stores and blacksmith shops, a tavern, shoe shop, harness shop, and a tin shop. The first Congregational Church was constructed in 1858 (later remodeled and opened in 1932 as the Hartland Music Hall).
I included some old postcards of the Waldenwoods Resort here although it is debatable if it is in Hartland or Howell. Downtown Hartland was once twice as long from what I am told, the freeway wiped out some of it.

The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) will perform detailed investigations of Jupiter and its system in all their inter-relations and complexity with particular emphasis on Ganymede as a planetary body and potential habitat. Investigations of Europa and Callisto would complete a comparative picture of the Galilean moons.
The focus of JUICE is to characterise the conditions that may have led to the emergence of habitable environments among the Jovian icy satellites, with special emphasis on the three ocean-bearing worlds, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto. Ganymede is identified for detailed investigation since it provides a natural laboratory for analysis of the nature, evolution and potential habitability of icy worlds in general, but also because of the role it plays within the system of Galilean satellites, and its unique magnetic and plasma interactions with the surrounding Jovian environment. Electrodynamic interactions play a variety of roles in the Jovian system: generation of plasma at the Io torus, magnetosphere / satellite interactions, dynamics of a giant plasma disc coupled to Jupiter's rotation by the auroral current system, generation of Jupiter's intense radiation belts.
JUICE will carry 11 experiments developed by scientific teams from 15 European countries, the United States and Japan.
The solar-powered spacecraft will carry cameras and spectrometers, a laser altimeter and an ice-penetrating radar instrument. The mission also will carry a magnetometer, plasma and particle monitors, and radio science hardware. Planned for launch in 2022 and arrival at Jupiter in 2030. It will spend at least three years making detailed observations of the giant gaseous planet Jupiter and three of its largest moons, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa.
A remote sensing package includes imaging (JANUS) and spectral-imaging capabilities from the ultraviolet to the sub-millimetre wavelengths (MAJIS, UVS, SWI). A geophysical package consists of a laser altimeter (GALA) and a radar sounder (RIME) for exploring the surface and subsurface of the moons, and a radio science experiment (3GM) to probe the atmospheres of Jupiter and its satellites and to perform measurements of the gravity fields. An in situ package comprises a powerful package to study the particle environment (PEP), a magnetometer (J-MAG) and a radio and plasma wave instrument (RPWI), including electric fields sensors and a Langmuir probe. An experiment (PRIDE) using ground-based very-long-baseline interferometry will provide precise determination of the spacecraft position and velocity.
The SGF Co. Ltd. together with Wigner RCP are participating in the development of the PEP instrument lead by Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) Kiruna and in the development of the J-MAG instruments lead by Imperial College London. The SGF Co. Ltd. is developing the Electrical Ground Support Equipment for both PEP and J-MAG instruments.

If the perfect songwriting conditions could be summed up in a year, 2020 would have represented the downtime of our creative dreams. As we shifted gears into full coastmode on the neverending rollercoaster of free time, our brains may have taken this as a cue to enter full hibernation instead.
Cheers to guidelines of social distancing, any inspiration fairies who used to visit us on the regular are now lounging in luxury sweatpants too, so it’s up to us now.
Here’s a big old list to help you get the ball rolling, because I can only do so much.
*Fuzzy static plays softly in the background of my mind.
Listen to a song once and then rewrite the lyrics from memory.
Write the verses of a song like a question and the chorus like it’s the answer to the question.
Write a poem or convert one you love into lyrics.
Try writing to a drum loop or instrument you don’t normally use.
Write some one-liners and play word jumble to assemble the lyrics.
Pull a Tom Waits and listen to five radios at once to notice any interesting melody and lyric overlaps. His aleatory storm of an album Swordfishtrombones seems like less of an enigma now.
Go next level Tom Waits cross-platform immersion by listening to the radio while checking TikTok, reading a news column, playing a record and watching a movie etc etc etc.
Collaborate with a songwriting mate, or a rookie for some fresh perspective.
Pick the most annoying song you know and attempt trainwreck those lyrics even more.
Let google suggestions finish your sentence.
Take a shower because apparently running water helps you relax, daydream and sparks creativity. There’s even a waterproof notepad called AquaNotes in case you have any big idea moments that must be recorded.
Take out all your random ideas notebooks and read through them.
Add your own verse into songs you love.
Wait out the storm, the ideas will come when they're good and ready. Probably at the most inconvenient time for you.
Write the title of the song then build the lyrics.
Use some Joni Mitchell clarity and write about your past emotional pains after you reached a moment of clarity so you don't sound like a whiner.
Use a short melody generator or create a sample and then give yourself one minute to write corresponding lyrics.
Neil Young says he’s always got inspiration for lyrics because he never runs out of opinions. Write down your opinions/reactions to world issues and news articles.
Write a letter to someone you admire or hate.
Write for a different music genre.
If you’re making ground on your post-covid hit then keep us in the loop, we’re fangirls for any musicians staying motivated right now. There’s light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully we can get back to some live music soon, where the real inspiration lies!

Upgrade contract for Fives to replace combustion equipment in Algeria
Fives and its Combustion teams were recently awarded for the first time a contract from Société des Ciments de Tébessa, in Algeria to supply Pillard equipment.
The project consists in replacing a line of furnace kiln burners and precalciner burners. The original competitor’s equipment will be replaced by 2 Pillard NovaFlam® gas kiln burners with valve trains, BMS and fans, as well as gas precalciner burners with main and local valve trains, BMS, and spare parts.
Adding to the challenge, all of the equipment needs to be delivered before the next plant shutdown this month and are expected to be commissioned in spring 2017.
This new contract opens new opportunities as other cement plants are currently under construction locally.

Capillaries, veins and general redness can all be treated We have an answer for vascular lesions often found on face, neck and chest. Intense pulsed light can be used very efficiently to treat these vascular abnormalities. We use light energy directed precisely to the chromophores in the skin to target and eliminate the unwanted vessels. The light is preferentially absorbed by haemoglobin [ red chromophores ] within the capillary or the vascular lesion. The absorbed light is converted to heat, which alters the capillary wall promoting its removal. If you experience skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, a tendency to keloid scarring, any photo-sensitivity, have taken Roaccutane or Isotretinoin in the past 6 months you may not be able to undertake this treatment, or may need advice from your treating practitioner first.
Unwanted freckles, age spots and sun spots are a thing of the past.
We have an answer for discolourations in the skin. New non-invasive aesthetic technology that utilises light at specific wavelengths to treat melanin deposits in the skin can treat a wide range of pigmentation on most skin types. How does pigmentation removal work? An intense pulse of light is released via a hand piece which specifically targets the pigmented lesions. As the photons from the light hit the molecules of the chromophores [coloured targets] within the skin the light turns to heat, destroying the lesions, all while leaving the surrounding skin structure unaffected.
Half Face – $109
Full Face – $129
Full Face & Neck – $149
Face/Neck/Decolletage – $179
Decolletage – $119
Hands – $79
LED Treatments are perfect for anti-ageing, wound healing and acne scarring.
The light activates collagen in the skin so that it renews itself resulting in reducing wrinkles and increased elasticity of the skin.
The LED reduces inflammatory lesions and eradicates the bacteria that causes acne. It also increases cellular tissue regeneration and collagen repair.
Completely safe and non-invasive, the “cold laser” phototherapy treatment targets skin cells to stimulate healing, repair, boosts circulation and collagen production. Excellent for aging skin and scarring. Add on to any facial treatment for extra plumping results!
LED 45min – $65
Add to any facial 30min – $35
Microdermabrasion & LED treatment 75min – $120

Berlusconi Won't Concede Italian Election Despite High Court Ruling
ROME – Premier Silvio Berlusconi is hanging tough, refusing to concede to center-left leader Romano Prodi even as a top court confirmed his defeat in the lower house of parliament in one of Italy's closest elections.
"We'll fight. They'll have to deal with us," Berlusconi was quoted as saying Thursday in the newspaper La Repubblica. Other newspapers published similar comments, and many reported the conservative leader has no intention of calling Prodi.
Meanwhile, Prodi, who called Berlusconi's resistance "sad," continued working to form his Cabinet.
La Repubblica reported Thursday that he plans to give the Economy Ministry — a key post amid Italy's economic woes — to Tommaso Padoa Schioppa, a former board member of the European Central Bank and a highly respected economist.
Berlusconi has made no public comments since the court's announcement Wednesday that Prodi, a former premier and European Union chief, won the lower house by 24,755 votes — a margin virtually unchanged from the one previously announced. The court made the announcement after a review of contested ballots.
Prodi's two-seat majority in the upper house was widely expected also to be confirmed.
"Sooner or later they will recognize how things are," Prodi said Thursday of the center-right's refusal to concede. "It is very sad that there should be something like this in a mature democracy."
Several world leaders, including from Britain, France, Germany and Israel, have called Prodi to congratulate him. However, close Berlusconi allies President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin have not called Prodi yet, his office said Thursday.
Berlusconi has remained combative since the results of the April 9-10 election showed he lost control of parliament.
For days, he has alleged irregularities in Prodi's razor-thin margin of victory and at one point spoke of fraud, only to quickly retract.

New York Gov. David Paterson Wednesday said he has suspended a top aide accused of beating up a woman last fall and called for an investigation into the woman's allegation that the State Police pressured her to drop her charges.
Mr. Paterson said he has suspended the aide, David W. Johnson, without pay and asked Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to look into her claim that she was repeatedly harassed by state troopers while seeking a temporary order of protection against the 37-year-old Mr. Johnson, a former driver and one of the governor's closest confidantes.
The woman's accusations against Mr. Johnson and the police were made through her lawyer and previously reported by The New York Times, which did not disclose her name. Her effort to seek a restraining order against Mr. Johnson was dismissed after she failed to appear at a hearing on Feb. 8, according to the Times, which reported that Mr. Paterson called and briefly spoke with her days before the scheduled hearing.
"Because of the seriousness of these allegations, and the sensitive role of this staff member in my Administration, I am asking the Attorney General to investigate the matter to ensure in the public's mind that a comprehensive and independent inquiry has been conducted," Mr. Paterson said in a statement.
The allegations against Mr. Paterson -- a former lieutenant governor who came to office following the resignation of Eliot Spitzer -- come less than a week after he announced his plans to run for governor.
Some Democrats have been urging Mr. Paterson, who has struggled for months to raise money and lift his low poll numbers, to step aside for Mr. Cuomo, who is considering entering the race.

Test report: Water in Doon unsuitable for drinking
While the authorities talk of achieving high level of development in the State, tests carried out by a voluntary group in the provisional state capital Dehradun have revealed that even the water supplied to localities with residences of cabinet ministers are supplied with water that contains higher than permissible levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and residual chlorine.
Society of Pollution and Environmental Control Scientists (SPECS) secretary Brij Mohan Sharma informed that the organisation had collected potable water samples from 96 locations in various parts of the city ranging from slum settlements to so called 'VIP' areas where homes of cabinet ministers and public representatives are also located. The samples were tested in the SPECS laboratory which revealed that none of the 96 samples of water were suitable for drinking. The total and fecal coliform were found in 37 samples and super chlorination was found in 76 samples. Only in two places-Nayi Basti (Bindal) and at Chandernagar was the residual chlorine found up to the mark (0.2 mg/litre). In some places total and fecal coliform were not found in the water but here too the quality of the water was spoiled by super chlorination.
Sharma said that while residual chlorine should not be more than 0.2 mg/litre, the quantity of total dissolved solids (TDS) should not be more than 300 mg/litre. However, even in localities with homes of cabinet ministers and public respresentatives the potable water was found to be containing residual chlorine and TDS beyond the standards. At Yamuna Colony where Minister Subodh Uniyal resides, the TDS is 430 and residual chlorine is 1.2. Similarly, in the Dobhalwala and New Cantonment Road (Hathibadkala) areas where Cabinet Minister Prakash Pant, leader of opposition in the Vidhan Sabha and Haldwani MLA Indira Hridayesh have their residences, the residual chlorine was found to be 0.4 to 1.4 though the TDS was found to be within limits at 272 to 241.. In Mohitnagar area where MLA Khajan Das lives, the TDS in water was found to be 426 while the residual chlorine is 0.8.
In addition these findings, no chlorine was found in the water samples from 32 localities. In 24 localities the chlorine was found to be more than the standard at 0.4 to 0.8 mg/litre while in 20 localities the chlorine was found to be more than 1 mg/litre. More than the standard quantity of chlorine and TDS has various detrimental effects on the health, added Sharma.
