If you’re new to the aquarium business, the notion of tank plants melting may sound bizarre. In reality, it is but a convoluted term describing the plant simply dying off.
The causes are multiple, as we will soon see, but the underlying issue is the aquarist’s ignorance.
You shouldn’t take the term as a pejorative but rather as describing a fact. Many novice aquarists tend to regard aquatic plants as decorative elements, second-class aquatic additions.
So, they provide the fish with all the care and forget to do the same with the plants. Which, as you will soon see, can have some dire consequences for both the plants and the fish.
What Causes Aquarium Plants to Melt?
If you notice that your aquarium plants have started dying, you should immediately look for a cause.
Dying plants will not only affect the tank’s aesthetics and ruin your plant investment, but will affect the water’s chemistry directly as well.
Plants make for organic matter, and then decaying in the water will create the perfect opportunity for ammonia buildup.
Aquarium plants will generally start dying for several reasons, such as:
This is a common problem in overstocked aquariums. Usually, any aquatic environment will contain a variety of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, that will nourish plants and fish alike.
However, imbalances will occur at times, and one major cause is overstocking. Having too many fish and plants in the same environment will deplete the water nutrients faster, causing plants to starve.
Nutrient deficiencies are ultimately deadly if not addressed properly and in time. To do that, you must first identify them properly.
Here are a few markers to consider:
- Iron deficiency – The plant’s leaves will appear discolored, either light green, light yellow, or even completely white. That’s because iron is a main component in the production of chlorophyll, aside from also being synthesized for various enzymes. Fortunately, the plant will exhibit gradual color changes, giving you time to act and fix the problem. Using a tank iron supplement designed for plants will revert the issue fast.
- Calcium deficiency – Calcium deficiencies usually occur when using soft water during water changes. RO water is a clear culprit here since the water is very low in minerals and other nutrients. So, supplementation is necessary before performing the water change. The main signs of calcium deficiency include withering and contorted leaves and brittle plants. That’s because calcium impacts the plant’s cell stability and hardness. The solution is either a calcium supplement or simply using crushed coral to decorate the tank. The calcium will dissolve gradually into the water, keeping the plants healthy and longer living.
- Potassium – Potassium is an especially important nutrient since it functions as a vehicle for other nutrients moving through the plant’s system. The affected plant will exhibit leaves with tiny holes and curved edges. They may also appear paler compared to their natural, healthy color. A potassium supplement is necessary to restore the nutrient levels within the normal parameters.
- Manganese – This mineral is a key component in the photosynthesis process, without which the plant can no longer function normally. The affected plant(s) will exhibit light yellow or white patches around the edges of the leaves. If untreated, manganese deficiency will be fatal. Consider using a supplement to fix the problem.
There are other nutrient deficiencies that will affect the plants’ physiology, including magnesium, phosphorus, nitrogen, etc.
The important aspect here is learning how to identify the different nutrient deficiencies and use the right approach to fix the problem.
Lack of Light
Plants use photosynthesis to, basically, survive. The process is simple but tricky to explain.
In laymen’s terms, the plant will convert the sunlight into chemical energy, part of which will get deposited as sugars and starches, and the other part being converted into oxygen.
The oxygen is pretty much a byproduct that the plant will eliminate into the environment.
That’s what makes plants important since they oxygenate the environment, whether aquatic or atmospheric.
The problem is that plants consume oxygen to survive when there is no sunlight and produce CO2 instead.
If the lights turn off for long enough, the plant will basically starve since photosynthesis will no longer be possible.
I recommend using LED lights for around 8-10 hours per day to provide plants with the ideal environment to thrive.
This is the perfect time to mention the dangers of improper light balancing. Too little light will affect the plant, but too much of it will promote algae overgrowth.
The idea is to figure out the sweet spot, which typically rests at 1 watt per gallon.
Feel free to experiment with the wattage, though, since not all tank plants require the same lighting intensity.
This problem typically occurs with new plants being brought into the environment. The real issue here is the plant lacks the necessary time to adjust to its new habitat.
This will lead to a variety of issues, most of which are related to nutrient intake.
The plant’s roots must first accommodate to being submerged since they haven’t grown in a fully submerged environment.
So, the roots are not accustomed to so much humidity, which can impact the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients from its environment. The good news is that the tank plant will adapt; it just needs some time.
So, you should only submerge the plant’s roots but keep the leaves out of the water for a few days. In most cases, the plant will lose some leaves and show some signs of discomfort, but it will eventually recover.
If the plant was already fully submerged when you bought it, this accommodation process might not be necessary.
Also, check water salinity and hardness to make sure they fit the plant’s requirements.
Ammonia burn is a common problem in dirty tanks with foul water and little-to-no maintenance.
Because ammonia is a dangerous chemical that will affect all aquatic life, both animals and plants. This chemical is the result of dead matter decaying in the tank and being consumed by bacteria that release ammonia and nitrites.
These chemicals are usually kept in check by nitrifying bacteria that turn them into nitrates, which are far less deadly.
The problem is when the tank hasn’t been cycled (doesn’t have nitrifying bacteria), which will cause ammonia levels to spike fast.
A similar outcome is to be expected when the waste outweighs the biofilm’s capability to remove it.
This happens in overstocked tanks lacking maintenance and regular water changes.
Ammonia burns typically appear the same for fish and plants. In plants, the leaves will wither and die, displaying rusty colors and becoming paler with time.
How fast these problems will progress depends on how severe the ammonia buildup is.
To mitigate or, better yet, prevent ammonia buildup, consider the following:
- Make sure that the aquarium is properly cycled and the biofilm is thriving
- Remove fish waste and food residues to minimize the load that the biofilm will have to handle
- Perform regular water changes, preferably weekly, to clean and reoxygenate the water
- Prevent overstocking; the more fish in the same environment, the higher the bioload and its environmental impact
- Don’t use chemicals to clean the filtration system or any other tank equipment; these could poison the water and destroy the biofilm
- Prevent methane pockets that tend to develop in sandy substrates; you can do so by stirring the sand gently from time to time
- Always monitor water parameters to detect early signs of ammonia poisoning
In short, ammonia levels always need to stick to 0. Any amount, no matter how insignificant, will have a visible impact on the environment and the surrounding aquatic life.
Yes, tank plants can develop various diseases that could kill them off fast.
The good news is that all these plant diseases are the likely result of poor water conditions. Plant fungus is such a problem, manifesting itself in the form of white fuzz on the leaves.
Nutrient deficiencies could also be considered diseases due to their symptoms.
Other plant disorders are more specialized, like Anubias rot. This condition tends to affect plants whose rhizomes have been buried too deep into the substrate.
The rhizome will begin to rot as a result, potentially killing the plant if untreated. The plant will show signs of sickness via changes in coloring and withering leaves.
Always pay attention to the signs announcing the disorder since these will be gradual, albeit quite accelerated at times.
Yes, this one is as simple as it sounds. Most aquatic plants won’t do well in dirty tank waters.
The dirtier the water is, the more floating particles and debris that the plant has to deal with.
Unhygienic waters will disrupt the plant’s comfort level and cause significant stress in the long run.
If the water is filled will particles, the plant’s ability to extract nutrients will be hindered. Always keep water quality high to prevent such a scenario.
Not to mention, dirty waters will affect your fish as well.
To correct and even prevent the problem, you need to have a good filtration system, perform regular tank maintenance, and consider doing weekly water changes.
Keep in mind to only perform 10-15-20% water changes since changing more than that will disrupt the tank’s biofilm.
Algae overgrowth is always a problem in unclean tanks, lacking proper water conditions.
A lot of things will facilitate algae overgrowth, including poor water conditions, excess lighting, not enough CO2 in the water, etc.
Algae aren’t necessarily a direct threat, but they will affect the plant ultimately if you ignore the problem.
In most cases, the algae will grow everywhere, including the plants. The mass of developing algae will hinder the plant’s access to light, effectively starving the plant.
Nutrient competition will also cause issues since plants and algae consume pretty much the same stuff.
To prevent that, you need to keep the algae population in check.
Bring in a few algae eaters, keep the tank’s lighting moderate, and even trim the algae by hand if they grow out of control.
Maintaining a robust maintenance routine is also key since the dirtier the water is, the faster the algae will spread and grow.
How to Prevent Aquarium Plants from Melting?
As you have seen so far, the melting problem stems from a variety of causes, not just one. It’s only natural for the solution to also come in many forms.
- Keep the tank water clean, well-oxygenated, and free of floating particles (as much as possible)
- Boost the level of CO2 in the tank to prevent algae growth
- Manage the lighting better (too much will promote algae, too little is not enough for photosynthesis to occur)
- Make sure there are enough nutrients in the water to prevent any nutrient deficiencies
- Look for signs of plant fungus and rhizome rot
- Prevent ammonia buildup by maintaining a healthy maintenance routine, including regular water changes
The good news is that plant melting is a gradual process that will give you enough time to react to what you’re seeing.
And you better see it since the notion of ‘melting’ pretty much describes the process of dying.
Can You Save Melting Aquarium Plants?
It depends. Sometimes you can save melting plants, other times, they are beyond saving.
It all comes down to the reason for melting and how severe the issue is. Fortunately, most aquarium plants are quite hardy and showcase an incredible capability to adapt and regenerate.
If you notice your plant is melting, assess the situation to identify the causes.
Doing so will help you understand the proper measures necessary to fix the problem.
Plants require just as much care as fish do.
More importantly, the healthier the plants, the more stable and well-oxygenated the tank water, which, in turn, helps the fish.
Plants are part of the ecosystem, and you should provide them with the care necessary to thrive.

We are delighted to have completed our 1,000th building project. This building was an 80 place nursery for Battle Abbey School in Bexhill on Sea housing children from 6 months to 4 years old.
Kingswell Buildings Ltd were brought into this project when the initial architect’s design was found to be significantly over budget. We were able to maintain the same footprint by reorganising the layout to reduce corridors and provide a more logical flow from the babies room to the under 2 year old space, leading to 3 – 4 years playroom and finally a reception classroom.
We were able to bring the development within the school’s budget and still add features such as underfloor heating, interactive whiteboards, vaulted ceiling, Velux roof lights, large sliding glass doors, external canopies, soft play area and landscaping around the new building as well as redeveloping the main school entrance. We provided a full service from design, agents for Planning Permission, Building Regulations, external works, new services to site through to completion with the building ready for the school to move their excited young clients in.
We are delighted to say that we brought this project in on time and on budget. See our case study in VIDEOS to see the completed building and hear what the school have to say about our service.

Pandaw Cruise is a fleet of 6 luxury River Cruises which is exploring five countries. Pandaw Cruise is among the largest luxury river cruises in Asia.
Whilst Pandaw offers a real adventure experience, travellers are cushioned with incredible comfort, fine dining, great cocktails and choice wines, not to mention extraordinary levels of service.
Pandaw’s six ships were built new and designed and finished as replicas of colonial river steamers. These small ships have the highest space to passenger ratio of any ships afloat – our much loved staterooms are 170 square feet and finished in teak and brass.
In 1995, Pandaw Cruise In Mekong river was the first to pioneer and explore the region’s great rivers and their tributaries: the Irrawaddy and Chindwin in Burma, the Mekong and Tonle Rivers in Cambodia and the backwaters of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.
These small ships can penetrate remote and otherwise inaccessible areas. Whilst Pandaw offer a real adventure experience, travellers are cushioned with incredible comfort, fine dining, great cocktails and choice wines, not to mention extraordinary levels of service.
Pandaws four boutique ships Pandaw built new and designed and finished as replicas of colonial river steamers. These small ships have the highest passenger to space ratio of any ships afloat.
Dining is single sitting with dress smart casual. Pandaw Cruise in Mekong River also have the highest staff guest ratio of any ship in the world to ensure an incredible level of care. It is more like being on a 1920s private yacht party than a cruise ship.
– The much loved Pandaw Cruise staterooms are spacious at 15 square meters and, whilst finished in traditional marine brass and teak, have all necessary modcons. All cabins on main and upper decks open onto promenade decks with their own seating.
A feature of all river cruises is the once or twice daily shore excursions led by expert local guides to explore Buddhist temples, historical sites, markets and handicraft workshops.
The Pandaw Cruise have an ultra shallow draft enabling them to moor where other larger ships could not stop. Inland water navigation in these regions is challenging and the Pandaw Cruise have been specially designed to cope with constantly changing river conditions.
– Our river cruises connect Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) with Angkor Wat via Phnom Penh in Cambodia and cover over 1500 miles of Burmese waterways from Rangoon (Yangon) to Pagan (Bagan) and Mandalay to Bhamo close to the China border.
Rudyard Kipling based his great poem ‘Road to Mandalay’ on the clunking paddles of Irrawaddy Flotilla Company paddle steamers. Over the past 150 years other poets and writers such as Somerset Maugham and George Or Pandaw ll have celebrated the company and the river.
Successive Viceroys of India, the Crown Prince of Siam and King Edward VIII as Prince of Wales, are but a few of Pandaw’s former passengers. Today Pandaw continue to carry celebrities and royalty, but pride on treating every passenger the same regardless of fame or rank.

As most obviously demonstrated by our government shutdown this week, the deeply divisive political stalemates in our civic dialogue are an undeniable area of concern for our country. When we relegate the framing of political discourse and shaping of public opinion to talk show hosts, partisans, and lobbyists, we citizens lose our voice in the harsh and often unconstructive political dialogue shaping critical decisions today. To reclaim a citizen-centered democracy, to rebuild public trust and civil discourse, we’re going to have to do it ourselves at the community level.
The decisions facing Washington citizens these days are often confusing, yet they can profoundly affect the quality of our communities and our personal lives. That’s why it is imperative that we consider them carefully, with due deliberation and with the benefit of community wisdom in a forum that is nuanced, pluralistic and collaborative. We need to come together as citizens to explore our electoral choices — without accusations, rancor and acrimony — knowing that we’re all going to share the profit and loss generated by our collective decisions on Nov. 5.

When Romesh Wijesooriya and his wife were deciding where to move for his medical residency, the choice of university was secondary.
“I didn’t pick residency based on the best program — we did it based on community,” he says. “During my interviews, we spent more time going into communities and meeting people.”
That brought them to Virginia Commonwealth University’s medical school — and to North Church Hill in 2004 with the blessing of a local pastor. His wife, Lawson Wijesooriya, is a previous Top 40 Under 40 recipient.
“We considered, what does it mean to move into a community that has relatively high needs and serve from the inside, and we ended up coming to Richmond,” he says. “We were committed to living in a lower socioeconomic, urban community.”
He soon was one of the youngest chiefs at VCU’s Children’s Hospital, a beloved pediatrician, specializing in obesity, and a teacher of future doctors. But Wijesooriya’s work doesn’t end when he leaves the hospital.
“I try to integrate things in my life. When I notice problems affecting the community, I want to figure out how to be involved in solutions,” he says. “There’s significant poverty and educational systems are often not functioning properly.”
He and his wife joined the PTA before they had their two sons and were part of a successful push to make Chimborazo Elementary School an international baccalaureate program.
“One of the best ways I thought we could have an impact on the entire community is to help the school be the best it could be,” he says.
Wijesooriya had a hand in starting the nonprofit Urban Hope, which helps neighbors purchase, maintain and renovate their homes, keeping a critical mass of residences protected from market pressures.
“Everything I read said, if you’re not involved in the housing aspect of this, you’re not involved in the roots of the problem,” he says.
Wijesooriya says it took time to be accepted in the neighborhood. “There were comments, like, ‘Are you with the police?’ Why would you be living here?” he recalls. “A lot of that went away with time. As you’re there, you just become neighbors.”

“Legs are not lips and walking is not kneeling. And yet our legs uttered songs. Even without words our march was worship. I felt my legs were praying.”
No other words so perfectly capture the essence of tikkun olam (repair of the world) as those written by the late Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. He was reflecting on a seminal moment in the fight for civil rights that took place in 1965, when he joined Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and thousands of others as they marched from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.
When we see injustice in the world, we are faced with choices. Some people, given the chance, will join in with those committing the injustice. Others will look away. Some people will wait for divine intervention. A courageous few will roll up their sleeves and ask, “What can I do to help?”
As Jews, we look for spiritual guidance and wisdom, but the day-to-day work of making the world a better place is entirely ours. As the Talmud says, “You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.”
When Russian Jews were treated like second-class citizens, and not allowed to practice as Jews, a man named Natan Sharansky did not look away, or wait quietly for change to come. He asked, “What can I do to help?” The answer was to speak out and organize, which landed him in a Soviet prison for nine years, but ultimately brought about change. Read his full story in Kar-Ben’s new graphic novel, Natan Sharansky: Freedom Fighter for Soviet Jews.
Today, more than ever, the need for tikkun olam is great. Tikkun olam is important work, a living prayer, and it begins with one simple question... “What can I do to help?”

Well, after thinking I was going to get lots of craft time this week the opposite happened! There's always something else to take priority, but I did get lots done even if it wasn't crafting.
I made this card on Tuesday but I didn't like it :p
I took the flower off, covered the top white part of the card with the reverse side of the blue paper and made this....
I had coloured and cut out this little image a few weeks ago when I was playing with the copics. She is coloured using the blender pen and a little colour from the nib of the pens (just to give a lighter effect)
I think she's a lovely match for this double sided paper which was in my scrap drawer. (I think it might be 3 Bugs in a Rug?) The background die cut is cut with a Nestabilities blossom die which I then kept in the die after cutting out and used Tim Holtz distress ink - Victorian Velvet - to colour it in.
The sentiment is computer generated - Pea Stacey Tunibug font - and cut with Nestabilities Labels Trio dies and coloured the same as the other die cut.
The flowers are Prima e-line and Kaisercraft. The rock fern punch is by EK Success.
Thanks for looking in today, have a great weekend :)


Islamabad, September 01, 2022 (PPI-OT):Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has directed the authorities concerned to rehabilitate the flood-hit roads and communications infrastructure at the earliest and asked the Power Division to submit a report on work for power supply restoration.
He was chairing an urgent meeting to review work on the rehabilitation of flood-damaged power and roads infrastructure in Islamabad. Shehbaz Sharif directed for the revival of road connectivity between Kalam and Swat by next week and repair of Balochistan’s power transmission network within next 48 hours.
The Prime Minister asked the Power Division to assign field duties to its joint secretaries and deputy secretaries as no officer should be sitting in the office till complete restoration of power supply network. He said no delay in restoration of the Gwadar transmission line is acceptable.
Shehbaz Sharif directed to make the material required for the repair of transmission lines indigenously to save public money on import of such items. The Prime Minister advised Power Minister Khurram Dastagir to monitor the restoration of flood-hit power transmission network in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and submit a report in this regard.

Oscar Pettiford and Attila Zoller: The Gentle Art of Love
I’m a sucker for jazz ballads on bass, so when Christopher Brydge shared this duo of Oscar Pettiford and Attila Zoller playing “The Gentle Art of Love,” I dropped everything to watch.
The video is part of some rare footage from a TV program called “Black and White Show no. 2” which aired on June 15th, 1959. Pettiford, who is known more for his uptempo bebop style, has such a big, warm tone that it sounds like he’s singing the song himself. Zoller in turn has a soft strum to accompany Pettiford before taking the lead on the bridge.

Oyama, a noise rock/shoegazing quintet from Reykjavik, have self-released their debut EP called I Wanna. And when they were in the UK last month I really did want to see them live.
I’ve been playing I Wanna pretty much non-stop since it landed on my laptop, digitally speaking. Full of reverb, skillful drumming, slightly discordant vocals and energy, the 6-song collection has become a firm favourite of mine, and has made the transition from iPod to iPhone.
Opening track Sleep opens with droning guitars and haunting vocals. One thing about the vocals here is the way that the deeper tones of Ulfur (one of the guitarists) and Julia compliment each other, so much so that they sound like thick treacle pouring down your throat.
Oyama have been gaining favourable comparisons to earlier shoegazing acts such as Sonic Youth and the recently resurrected My Bloody Valentine, and with Shade it is easy to understand why. Underneath the reverb there are, swirling away just begging to be concentrated upon, licks and riffs that make listening carefully such a rewarding experience.
Everything Some of the Time is a dreamy internal duet that moves along at a steady pace; but don’t let the pace lull you into thinking that it’s a sedate affair. The drumming of Runar is at its most impressive here during the verses – especially the opening one. I can’t really describe it, but the drum stick clicking is wonderful to say the least.
The closing track is entitled The Garden, and if I was still DJing at the other place (yes, I know I sound Parliamentarian there) then it would have been played several times in one show! Probably opening, halfway through and then at the end.
The noise-rock leanings come through strong here, with the breakdown being Sonic Youth inspired – guitars and bass warblings being performed over a drum beat attempting to hold everything together. The chorus is perhaps the element of the song that gripped me the most at the first listen. “I sleep when I’m awake/I wake when I’m asleep” left me wondering what exactly goes on in Iceland these days.
Simply put, Oyama are bloody excellent. I’d have no hesitation in dropping everything to go and see them. if they ever play anywhere near Manchester!

(NORTH CANTON, Ohio) – The Mayors' Cup has been returned to the confines of the Cecchini Center after Walsh defeated Malone 67-54 on Senior Day Saturday afternoon. The Cavaliers (18-8, 15-5) remain in the hunt for the conference championship, while the Pioneers (9-15, 7-13) are in a log jam for the final playoff spot in the G-MAC Tournament.
Head Coach Kate Bruce's group controlled most of the game with Malone seeing its only leads take place in the first quarter. After the Pioneers went up 12-11 on a jumper with 34 seconds left, a pair of seniors answered as Alex Hochstedler scored a triple and a last-second steal and buzzer beater jumper by Dominique Foley put Walsh up 16-12.
The momentum shift continued into the second where Walsh started the pull away. A Baylen Dyrlund traditional 3-point play put Malone within two just 1:21 into the frame, but the Cavs closed the quarter by doubling up the Pioneers 20-10 the rest of the way for the 40-28 halftime lead.
The Cavs led by as many as 17 after another senior Holly Grober scored on a layup shortly into the fourth.
Walsh's offense was once again well-balanced with its two leading scorers coming off the bench. Jill Blacksten reached double-figures just the third time this season and led the team with 13 points. She was 3-of-5 from the field with a 3-pointer and a perfect 6-for-6 at the line.
Tyler Newkirk was perfect everywhere as she went 4-for-4 from the field with a three and went 3-for-3 from the line. Mayci Sales added 10 points as the only starter in double-figures and pulled down nine rebounds.
Defensively Walsh had one of its finest games as only four starting players comprised of all of Malone's points. Dyrlund led that quartet with 19.
With the Mayors' Cup back in the trophy case, Walsh now looks to the final week of the regular season. Two big games lay ahead on the road with Lake Erie and Ursuline. Wins in those two games and some help could give the Cavs a conference championship in their first season in the G-MAC.
Lake Erie is first with tip-off at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday in Painesville.


text: A two-dimensional numerical model is used to simulate nocturnal drainage flow in a small urban valley with light prevailing winds and conditions of supercritical Richardson numbers (Ri). The model uses a hydrostatic and Boussinesq system of equations written in terrain-following coordinates. Radiative transfer is represented by Brunt's method of radiative diffusivity. Eddy diffusivities are specified in the subgrid parameterization for conditions where Ri is supercritical. Tests show the dependence of drainage wind on slope angle, cooling rate, surface drag and prevailing wind speed, and also the insensitivity of wind and temperature to the eddy diffusivities under supercritical Ri conditions. The drainage wind cells are asymmetric, with a shallow surface layer of drainage flow and a thicker upper region of slower return flow. The predicted wind profiles show low-level maxima and the predicted temperature profiles are exponential in shape, in good agreement with observations obtained in Edmonton, Alberta in the summer of 1978. The model is also able to predict the quasi-stationary slope flow observed in the field.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As part of its continuous surveillance effort, Fitch Ratings affirms the implied general obligation (GO) rating of the City of Indianapolis, IN at 'AAA'. As a result, it is affirming its 'AAA' rating on the following Indianapolis Local Public Improvement Bond Bank (bond bank) revenue bonds:
--$76.7 million taxable bond bank bonds series 2005A.
The Rating Outlook is Stable.
KEY RATING DRIVERS:
--The City of Indianapolis-Marion County's (the city) strong management team has prudently managed the reduction in tax revenues as a result of the state wide circuit breaker legislation and changes in assessed valuation methodologies.
--The city maintains an above-average level of reserves which will help mitigate the financial pressure that persists in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 as income tax revenues are expected to be down from prior years.
--The city's economy remains diverse and continues to experience growth through new commercial development.
--Overall debt levels are moderate, and the state's takeover of a portion of pension liabilities and manageable retiree healthcare obligations help balance the debt profile.
--Unemployment levels are slightly below state averages and wealth indicators remain generally below average.
The bonds are limited obligations of the bond bank, which under Indiana law, is empowered to buy and sell securities of qualified entities such as the city, all special taxing districts in the city, and all entities with tax levies reviewed by the city council. The bond bank itself has no taxing power. The bonds are not general obligations of the city, but the underlying qualified obligation purchased by the bond bank with proceeds of the bonds is supported by the general obligation and unlimited ad valorem tax pledge of the city of Indianapolis which Fitch rates 'AAA'.
Indianapolis is the state's capital city and with 820,445 residents, it is the 13th largest by population in the nation. The Indianapolis economy is well diversified and includes pharmaceutical production, health services, life and sciences companies, manufacturing and other business and professional services companies which continue to lead the employment and city's industrial output. Development in the city has been ongoing increasing the city's ability to generate tax revenues and increase employment opportunities. The city's population has grown 5% since 2000 equivalent to the county growth and slightly below the state's increase of 6.6% for the same period. Wealth levels for the city approximate county and state averages but represent just 88% of national averages. Metro area income levels continue to exceed national averages.
Despite numerous tax reduction initiatives at the state level, the city's financial condition is strong supported by prudent management, manageable budget growth and a diverse revenue and tax base. After several fiscal years of property tax collection delays across the state due to a large number of legal changes to the property assessment system, the property tax billing cycle returned to normal for the city eliminating the need for additional tax anticipation notes in fiscal 2010.
Because of the circuit breaker tax cap legislation enacted in 2008 and changes in the property assessment methodology for commercial property, the city estimates loss in property tax revenues of $26 million for 2011, following a $10 million decrease in fiscal 2010. For 2012, the city is projecting a loss of $22 million. The city has made continuous spending restraints and required departments to reduce their budgets for each of the last four fiscal years resulting in annual savings of $10 million. Buffering the decline in property tax revenues was an increase in local income taxes of $70 million in 2010.
For fiscal year 2010, the city's general unreserved fund balance declined to $134 million from $163 million in 2009 representing 19% of spending down from 27% in 2009 but exceeding fiscal 2008's level of 14%. The decline was due primarily to one-time capital costs. Financial challenges continue for fiscal 2011 and 2012 as local income tax revenue distributions, which lag by two years, are projected to be $25 million less for the city than received in 2010, reflecting income generated during the recessionary years of 2009 and 2010. This affect is occurring statewide. The city expects marginal improvement in distributions for fiscal 2012. To help offset this weakness, $20 million was appropriated from the county rainy day fund in 2011 and the city has continued to impose expense reduction efforts this fiscal year. Management has indicated property tax revenues have been slightly better than forecasted and with expenditure reductions fiscal 2011 year-end results may outperform budgeted projections.
The city's preliminary plan for 2012 to offset income tax declines may include the use of general fund reserves with a plan to replace any use of reserves in the future when revenues increase. Additionally, the city may rely on reimbursements from tax increment districts for capital expenditures paid for by the city. This represents a practice not typically carried out by the city but available to it. Fitch believes this financial flexibility combined with strong reserve levels will enable the city to withstand these challenges over the next two years.
The city is selling its water utility and wastewater and treatment facilities (the systems) to Citizens Energy Group (CEG) effective later this month. The agreements with CEG include an assumption/funding of all outstanding debt related to revenue bonds for the sanitary district and waterworks, an additional PILOT payment from the wastewater system on an ongoing basis, and a $262 million cash payment at closing. Management has indicated that the proceeds will be deposited in its capital projects fund to support future capital projects freeing up general funds used in prior years fur such purposes.
The city has made a number of capital borrowings to support infrastructure improvements and does not foresee any new debt in the next few years especially with the infusion of proceeds from the sale of the utility systems. Debt ratios are moderate on an overall basis with the inclusion of tax increment debt, non-property tax revenue debt and overlapping debt from municipal and school corporations.
The city participates in the State's Public Employees' Retirement Fund (PERF) for its police and fire fighters hired after April 1977 and in another plan administered by PERF for all other city employees. Contributions made in 2010 totaled $31.9 million or a moderate 4.5% of fiscal 2010 general fund spending. The state's reimbursement of the city's annual pension contributions for its pre-1977 plan, commencing in 2009, helped offset this growing fixed cost and future liability. The city is making pay-go payments on its other post-employment benefit (OPEB) obligation and paid a manageable $1.6 million in fiscal 2010. The unfunded liability is $140 million as of Dec. 31, 2009 assuming a 4% discount rate.
Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'.
In addition to the sources of information identified in Fitch's Tax-Supported Rating Criteria, this action was additionally informed by information from Creditscope, S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, IHS Global Insight, Zillow.com, and National Association of Realtors.

Soil cores were collected to a depth of 14 m from a Southwest semi-arid soil amended with either anaerobically digested sludge or inorganic fertilizer. Twenty sections partitioned from each core were characterized for their physical and chemical properties. Denitrification potential was estimated in each core section in the laboratory using the acetylene reduction method. The sludge-amended soil had significantly higher denitrification rates within and below the root zone than the fertilizer-amended soil. Additionally, significant correlation values were obtained in both cores between denitrification rates and particle size distribution, moisture, and total organic carbon (C). Sludge applications in semi-desert soils may add much needed organic C in the soil profile. This additional soluble organic C may help control nitrate (NO3) ground water pollution by providing substrate C for denitrifying bacteria below the root zone.

Dental Bridge Vs. Implant: Which Is Right For You?
While losing teeth becomes extremely common in older adulthood, many adults lose a tooth before entering their golden years.
Ultimately, losing a tooth is a common experience and nothing to be ashamed of.
However, replacing the missing tooth is the best way to ensure the proper alignment of your remaining teeth. It will also help you talk and eat as you did before losing any teeth. Of course, another primary reason people choose to replace a missing tooth is to restore the aesthetic beautify of their smile.
There are a few dental solutions for replacing missing teeth, including dental bridges and implants.
When it comes to an implant vs bridge, which is right for you?
Let’s take a closer look at a dental bridge vs implant.
- Long-lasting and durable. They may last 15 years or more.
- Incredibly natural-looking, seamlessly blend in with your smile.
- Do not damage neighboring teeth.
- Very successful treatment option.
- May not be covered by insurance.
- A long process that requires several appointments.
- A higher initial investment.
- Includes a risk of surgical complications.
A dental bridge is also a fake tooth, but unlike a dental implant, it is not attached to the jawbone via an artificial root. Instead, the tooth is wedged between two existing teeth. Commonly, dental bridges are made of plastic or porcelain.
To install a dental bridge, the dentist must remove some enamel from the adjacent teeth.
- Many dental insurance plans cover a dental bridge.
- Minimally invasive, no bone grafting.
- Less expensive upfront than dental implants.
- Only requires two visits and can be complete within a few weeks.
- Requires replacement around every 5-7 years.
- Over time, it may not look as natural.
- Increases the likelihood of cavities and tooth decay of adjacent teeth.
- May damage the healthy neighboring teeth.
Dental Bridges vs Dental Implants: How to Choose
Weighing the pros and cons of a bridge vs an implant can be tricky. There is no universal answer to the question of a dental bridge vs implant. The best option depends on your unique oral health considerations.
Here are a few comparisons to help:
- Dental bridges are usually less expensive than dental implants upfront.
- Installing a dental bridge is faster.
- Dental implants last much longer. Over time, this saves you time and money.
- If you are missing more than a couple of teeth, then a partial or complete denture may be a betters solution than an implant or a bridge.
- Those with certain health conditions (like leukemia or diabetes) should not get a dental implant due to slowed healing.

We had a great day with Roman as our guide. The pace of the tour was enjoyable and we had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see as well as rest when needed. Roman's knowledge of the area and commentary was great!

This was a two day trip so Lars was guide on way out and Ross on the way back. Excellent information on the history of San Francisco, California, and the Central Valley on the trip up. Also really good information on the Yosemite Park. Lars was careful to ensure everyone understood the implications of the walk down to the sequoias and back. On return leg Ross provided good information on, and a chance to view, climbers on El Capitan and a view from Treasure Island.

Warm, personable and knowledge tour guide. Safe driving and goes the extra mile :)

My friends and I had a great time at Yosemite. Our tour guide Ross was amazing. He was funny, intelligent and provided us with a great amount of information. We participated in several tours while in San Francisco and Ross was by far our favorite. I would highly recommend booking this tour, and requesting to be in a group with Ross. The only negative would be the amount of time in each location. Yosemite has so much to offer it is easily to get distracted by the beautiful views. Ross went out of his way to keep the group on schedule and even show us some extra views of the climbers. It is an extremely long day so I do understand the time constraints. I would highly recommend booking the tour!

I was picked up on time. The guide gave some interesting information en-route to our first stop. The time allowed for breakfast was a good amount, not rushed and not sitting for too long. The walk to the giant sequoias was tough - about 20 minutes downhill but because of the altitude and steepness, it took about 50 minutes to get back up. I wasn't aware that it was going to be so challenging.
I enjoyed the picture stops as we entered Yosemite and got some great pics. We had a couple of hours in the valley floor but I wish we had longer. There was time to do a walk and have some lunch but I feel I've only seen a fraction of Yosemite and what it has to offer. I would definitely say that people should try and stay a couple of nights rather than doing the day trip.
The journey back to San Francisco was long as there weren't the scenic stops. We did stop for a while at the same place we had breakfast. It would have been nice to stop somewhere different for a change but it was a good chance to stretch your legs and grab a drink.

It's a four hour trip EACH WAY to Yosemite but well worth it!!!!! If you don't want an 8 hour bus ride, then don't do this tour. I don't understand how people can complain about the bus ride when a little research will tell you what to expect. Ross did a fantastic job as our guide. Everything about this tour was great. The sequoias, El Cap, the falls, it was all exquisitely beautiful. I've read reviews about guides being pushy about tips and being fanatical about staying on schedule. While Ross did his best to keep everyone on schedule, he wasn't obnoxious about it, and he didn't harp on the tip issue either. Ross also took us up close to El Cap to watch some climbers. It was all awesome, and I would highly recommend this tour!
– Amanda D. on 06/16/2015
Ross was awesome. He greeted everyone happily in the morning and throughout the day answered everyone's questions. He kept the tour on track timewise so we could see as much as we possibly could in such a short time. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and you could tell how passionate he was about the park. We even got to stop and view the skyline of SF at sunset as an extra bonus! He definitely went above and beyond to make it a great day. And the park...well that speaks for itself! It was a beautiful day. The mini bus was comfortable, clean and a nice way to travel.
– Michael D. on 06/15/2015
We were picked up at our hotel at the exact time indicated when we made our reservations. Our guide Don was informative throughout and made our tour well worthwhile.
– RENZO O. on 06/03/2015
It was great. Yosemite is just unbelievable, one on the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in my life. Then I realized that a 1 day trip to Yosemite Park isn't the best if you do want to fully enjoy this awesome place. I am sure I will organize a new trip with a 2 days stay in the park. Ross was great!! Positive dude.

Kalimera all. So brief background, this will be my sixth time to the Greek islands in the past four years, clearly I'm addicted. I have been to Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos and santorini multiple times and am finally ready to branch out and see more islands. So I have picked Skiathos based on their reputation for beautiful beaches and good nightlife ( I'm 25). So now for my questions for those who have already ventured to skiathos. Any recommendations for hotels? Should I stay in town? Is this an island I can stay at for eight nights without getting bored? My holidays are strictly for sleeping in, eating delicious food, vegging on the beach all day, wining and dining, and fun late nights out. And repeat the next day. If you think this island wont occupy me for eight nights, should I also try nearby skopelos for a few nights? Aka where mamma Mia was filmed! If you have any recommendations for another island that you feel I would be better suited for, I'm open to any and all suggestions. Efkaristo!!

The mere mention of China’s dairy industry may send investors fleeing in the opposite direction, but China’s largest milk producer is getting a big vote of confidence from a Danish investor.
On Friday Denmark’s Arla Foods said it would acquire Chinese private-equity fund Hopu Investment Management Co.’s interest in China Mengniu Dairy Co., China’s largest milk producer by sales volume, giving Arla around a 6% stake in the company. The deal was announced during President Hu Jintao’s visit to Denmark.
The deal makes Arla Mengiu’s second-largest shareholder after state-owned commodities giant Cofco Corp. According to a statement on Cofco’s website, Arla’s stake amounts to HK$2.2 billion (US$283.5 million).
In addition, Arla said it would invest 1.7 billion yuan ($270 million) in Mengniu. The two companies already have a baby formula joint venture dating back to 2005, though analysts say the JV has been loss-making.
Arla, a dairy cooperative which owns brands such as Lurpak butter, said the deal would increase its turnover by China five-fold by 2016 from 700 million Danish kroner ($117.5 million) last year.
The deal sent Mengniu shares up 9% on Monday.

Bond for man accused in jogger assault lowered
A Wayne County judge Thursday lowered the bond for the man charged in an attack on a jogger in Livonia and whom authorities are investigating as possibly having a connection to a missing Farmington Hills woman.
Third Circuit Judge Mark Slavens cut the cash bond for 30year-old Floyd Galloway Jr. of Berkley from $750,000 cash to $350,000 cash during a hearing. If Galloway posts bail, he will have to wear a tether and be under house arrest with his parents.
The defendant’s attorney, John Dakmak, had requested $50,000 cash bond.
Slavens said Galloway is a danger to the community. Before his ruling, the judge told the lawyers: “I have no intent in taking the other matter (the Danielle Stislicki disappearance case) into account.” Stislicki went missing around 5 p.m. Dec. 2 after leaving her job at MetLife in Southfield in the area of Telegraph near 10 Mile. Stislicki had plans to meet up with a longtime friend but never arrived to meet the woman, according to police.
Dakmak said Galloway needs to be released so he can assist in his defense. Galloway, said Dakmak, had been under heavy scrutiny and did not flee.
“He will appear (back in court),” said Dakmak. “He’s not a risk to the community at large.”
But Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Danielle Bennetts said Galloway is accused of four counts in the jogger case and that “his DNA is on her clothing.”
Bennetts added Galloway “is absolutely 100 percent a flight risk” and he is facing charges that could put him in prison for life.
Galloway is accused of grabbing a jogger during her run through Hines Park in Livonia on Sept. 4, 2016.
He was arrested in June and charged with kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct-assault with intent to commit sexual penetration, and assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder by strangulation. He later was charged with assault with intent to murder.
Galloway’s trial to begin Nov. 29.


Structural Sealant is a high-strength adhesive that can accommodate movement within a joint. It comes in a variety of Liquid Applied Sealants. They are categorized into different movement classes and grades depending on their capability to accommodate movement.
A recently developed performance-based test method explores mechanical behavior and sealant response under superimposed climatic load over the course of an annual cycle. It also tests for adhesive and cohesive failure.
Structural Sealant is a high-performance silicone adhesive for structural bonding of glass, stone, and metal. It has high compressive strength, steel-steel positive tensile bonding strength, and shear strength and is resistant to aging, fatigue, and corrosion. Its durability allows it to transfer large loads from glass panes to the supporting structure and also withstand movement at joints. It can be used in the construction of high-rise buildings and bridges.
To assess the durability of Structural Sealant, we Structural Sealant conducted a series of mechanical tests. The test results from tensile and shear tests show that the structural sealant passes ETAG 002-1 Initial Mechanical Strength and Residual Strength requirements. Furthermore, the tensile and shear tests showed that the silicone adhesive withstands a combination of weathering and enforced movement without any loss of adhesion or failure of the bond.
The continuous characterisation of the system response during combined mechanical and climatic exposure was complemented by discontinuous characterisation, including visual inspection of the sealant joints as well as hardness measurements on the exposed surface of the sealant. It was observed that the stiffer sealant of series A has a higher hardness than the less-stiff sealant of series B. This is likely to be due to the stress relaxation behaviour of the two different structural sealants. It also reflects that the shear moduli Gdyn of the sealant of series A is higher than the tensile moduli EDyn.
The most demanding applications for sealants are the ones on outside buildings. These joints must withstand movement as well as the harsh effects of sun, wind and rain. They must also be able to remain stable over a long period of time, without experiencing adhesive or cohesive failure.
The structural sealant is a load bearing adhesive and must transfer the external forces on the glass and glazing details to the curtain wall assembly; it is important for the structural sealant to have good tear resistance, elongation at break and tensile strength, as well as good durability. The weather resistant sealant is a non-load bearing adhesive and its main characteristic is resistance to the effects of UV radiation, snow and acid rain.
When choosing a sealant for the curtain walls of your building, ask about the ability of the product to handle the movement expected in the specific climate. You should also request data on how much dead load the sealant can carry, as well as the point at which it experiences either adhesive or cohesive (creep rupture) failure.
Structural silicones can be used to bond a variety of materials. The key consideration is to use the correct primer, and make sure the substrates are clean and dry. A wide joint is best, Structural Sealant as it can accommodate movement better, and a greater ratio of width to depth will allow the sealant to fill the gap. Use a joint backing or bond-breaker tape to eliminate “three-sided adhesion” and help the sealant flow into the gap.
During the construction process the structural sealant must withstand many environmental factors. This includes exposure to UV radiation and rainwater. It should also be resistant to chemicals and solvents that may come into contact with the sealant.
It’s important to check the chemical resistance of the sealant prior to use by performing a compatibility test with the glass, metal frame and other materials that the sealant will be installed between. There are several industry tests that can be used to evaluate compatibility. A good option is the AAMA/FGIA 713 voluntary test for compatibility of sealants with self-adhered flexible flashings.
Another important consideration is the sealant’s ability to resist thermal shock, which can occur when the structure shifts between different temperature zones. This is why it’s important to perform a thermal cycling test. The test should include dynamically repeated tensile and shear testing at the onset of stress, then again after a period of time with enforced movement.
The test results should show that the structural sealant maintains its initial tensile and shear strength throughout a wide range of temperatures and under enforced movement. This is particularly important for ETAG 002-1, which requires that the mean residual tensile and shear strengths must not drop below 75% of the values measured after weathering and enforced movement.
Structural Sealant is a moisture curing polymer that takes in surrounding humidity to polymerize into an extremely tough, flexible and temperature resistant silicone rubber compound. This makes it an ideal adhesive for bonding, sealing and fixing applications in construction.
It is highly durable and will resist aging, fatigue and corrosion while remaining effective throughout its expected service life. Structural Sealant is an excellent choice for glazing, bonding and weatherproofing, especially in areas subject to vibration or movement.
When used as a structural sealant in curtain wall framing systems, it transfers all the structural loads from the glass panels to the metal framing system preventing potential glass pane collapse. It is also able to transfer wind load and other effects from the outside environment to prevent damage to the panel and frame structures.
The results of the initial mechanical strength tests on the structural sealant, performed according to ETAG 002-1 show that it significantly exceeds the required tensile and shear strengths for its intended application. It has a high initial mechanical strength and a good joint movement capability which is ideally suited for structural glazing tasks.
It is able to withstand the impact of flying debris, heavy traffic, blasting and earthquakes as well as extreme temperatures. It is also impervious to UV radiation, ozone, acid rain and fungus.

The state of California, the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Senate are all breathing down the ad industry's neck about mobile data privacy. Today, its biggest privacy self-regulatory group is responding. The Digital Advertising Alliance will unveil its mobile ad privacy app today at its annual summit in San Francisco, opening it up to evaluation by its ad-network, agency and brand participants.
Put simply, the app will let people opt-out from receiving mobile ads targeted based on the apps they interact with.
When available for free download by consumers later this year, the DAA AppChoices app will act similarly to the organization's current privacy program, which allows people to opt-out from online behavioral ad targeting, signaled by a tiny triangular blue icon in the corner of digital ads.
"It's about getting this in front of the DAA participants and showing them what it looks like," said DAA Managing Director Lou Mastria.
The app should be available to consumers in the fall. It will give people the choice of opting out from ads served by select mobile ad providers, or from all companies involved in one fell swoop. The number of consumer-facing privacy technologies is growing; it is unclear whether the addition of another self-regulatory tool offering a surfeit of options to everyday mobile phone users will make much impact on the amount of data flowing through the mobile ad ecosystem.

When you think about fruit you often think about how healthy it is to eat; we are all recommended to eat 5 portions a day of fruit and vegetables. Fruit can cause problems for some people who can have a reaction within a few minutes of coming into contact with a particular fruit. Fruits that cause the most problems are cherries, apples, pears, peaches, bananas, plums, nectarines, apricots, strawberries and kiwi fruit.
Fruit allergies are often linked to pollen allergy, and it is often thought that fruit allergy is like getting “hay-fever of the mouth”. There are particular links between different fruits and different pollens. For example allergy to birch pollen often means that you are also allergic to the fruits mentioned above. However allergy to grass pollens is related to reactions to oranges, melons and tomatoes. The impact of these allergies will be worse during the pollen season so you may not have the problem all year round. Similarly there are links between fruit allergies and allergy to latex (natural rubber); approximately 30-50% of people who are allergic to latex also show reactions to certain fruits. Fruits such as avocadoes, bananas, kiwi fruit, peaches, tomatoes, and more recently goji berries, have been associated with this syndrome (latex-fruit syndrome).
These particular reactions to fruits are often called oral allergy syndrome (OAS) as symptoms include a burning sensation on the lips and in the mouth, swelling of the lips and tongue and a constricted feeling in the throat. It rarely causes anaphylactic shock or death but can be very scary. Some people have allergies to fruits without having the associated pollen or latex allergy. This is because there are proteins in fruits that are not present in pollens and latex and vice versa. It is interesting that these reactions are usually limited to fresh fruits and cooked fruits don’t seem to have the same effect. This means that if apples are bothering you, you may be fine with apple pie!
Some people have an intolerance* to different fruits, with symptoms that are not severe or immediate. Often the symptoms of fruit intolerance are ongoing such as irritable bowel (IBS), bloating, headaches, tiredness, low mood and skin problems. The most common reactive fruits causing food intolerance are cranberries, blackcurrants, kiwi fruit, oranges and pineapple. However, these are rarely problematic on their own; those with food intolerances have, on average, reactions to 5 or 6 different food types which include grains, pulses, spices, herbs, meats, fish and vegetables as well as fruits.
