I still remember when the RAZR came out a year. I could not miss. The phone is the thinnest cells. The hottest cell phones. Ads everywhere, and hype almost made me want to get something, but. However, now that the dust has settled marketing, what remains is a beautiful phone thin, light and elegant that it is a pleasure to use and a pleasure to own.
So please allow me as I can describe what I like about my T-Mobile RAZR - and perhaps see why it appeals to many classic and modern can receive calls.
"Soft" The Motorola RAZR cell phone technology
I am one of those guys who really appreciate technology, but do not overdo it. Yes, I like the fact that most things today, with the manual, but stop just under invest the equivalent of three semester hours to find out how many MHz TI OMAP processor optimization, or how I can get out Kbps and Mbps by GPRS as opposed to gWiFi.
So this balance or technology is one of the first things I really enjoyed my new RAZR. Owning it is like sitting at the table of a friend who speaks the technology for you, never turn glassy eyes - just enough detail for you to understand what he is talking without overloading.
The technology I had with T-Mobile Motorola RAZR is the thing most of us "not" side of the techno-geek in general enjoy part. For example, with this phone you get a digital camera that also takes short videos. No need to be with a maze of menus and files: It's right there when you turn on the phone, under the caption just enough, says "camera". Press this button and the phone screen is an LCD video camera, press and click, you're done. This is the type of user that I love and it is only one example of the type of control you get with T-Mobile RAZR.
RAZR with T-Mobile wireless connection I have to work quite well. This is a feature I never use it, but since it is free, I thought "what the hell." But what I discovered is that it is extremely useful, especially when I'm driving - I live in one of these states where police can shoot to take the hands of his cell phone while driving. And with this Bluetooth headset with no need to waste time with the child or take the phone with me when the fuel pump and I can keep talking - in style. Which brings us to one of the areas where the RAZR stands almost none.
The style of T-Mobile RAZR
If there's one thing I do not like a lot of products today's consumers, their cheap, plastic look and feel making them appear as almost disposable. With the RAZR, instead you get an elegant satin shell aluminum alloy, giving the impression cell phone for something permanent and real.
And, of course, is the RAZR hit, as it is thin - even after years on the market, and after the introduction of a series of copycat products, this device shines in this department that the real thing. Aside from fashion, the thinness of the RAZR is also a practical tool. This phone is lost jeans pocket 'without adding bulk to your appearance, then the practice does not even need to cover it.
The characteristics of the T-Mobile RAZR only
What made me choose a T-Mobile RAZR, unlike other mobile operator is the type of plan, it comes with. In particular, I was attracted by T-Mobile MyFaves exclusivity, so that the new T-Mobile Motorola RAZR is supported (not all phones, especially the elderly).
MyFaves feature is mainly a list of five out-of-telephone network, you can make and receive calls for free, at any time, day, frequency of calls, or what your country five contacts. A standard T-Mobile myFaves plan, you get this free on-network calls are typically offered by most service plans.
In practical terms, this means that the myFaves plan allows me to make and receive phone calls most of the cells for free and reserves the minute regime misses the third phone call - with that much easier to hold talks brief. By the way, I let my contacts know that MyFaves are five in my list, so they know that I can call without fear of costing me airtime minutes.
Overall I'm very happy with my new T-Mobile RAZR. For a mobile phone is definitely more "later", I am pleased that companies like T-Mobile is willing to keep it fresh by adding useful features - as in this case, the MyFaves option plan.

Hi there,
Reluctance to shower or bathe is a common challenge for those caring for loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer's. You may remember a few weeks ago I asked for your advice for Carol, a family caregiver who was having a hard time getting her dad to take a shower. Here's how she described her situation:
"My biggest care challenge is getting my father to take a shower. He just doesn't feel the need or have the energy. I do shower him when he agrees to get one, but I'm only available once a week or every other week. I'm still working. I don't think he would let a stranger help him yet. My mother is in the hospital, so our schedule is not regular, but I do hope to soon have homecare a few days a week so he will get use to someone else and allow them to help shower him. My sister is there during the week but she is not comfortable with this. Have any suggestions? Thank you."-Carol
I received an overwhelming response from both family and professional caregivers who have faced this issue and had suggestions for Carol. Thank you! As I went through the emails, I saw some common themes among the responses. I pulled a few of them to share so everyone might benefit by learning new ways to approach this situation.
Accept Shower Substitutes, like an "Airplane Bath""As long as there aren't any issues, I think a daily shower isn't a must…In between showers, Nell would take 'airplane baths': under the wings, hood and the tail end. She would laugh at it."-Gail
"I have a wonderful little lady in my care now who grew up in a time before showers. She hates water and will not take a shower. Forget redirection, pleading, begging....not effective. So we got creative. She has always 'washed up' at the sink. There is a wonderful product called foaming no rinse cleanser. Best stuff since toilet paper. It contains wonderful emollients for the skin, kills odors and doesn't have to be rinsed off. If Dad is capable of washing himself up, invest in a bottle and give it a try."-Kelly
Ready, Set, Shower! "I have everything ready in the shower (i.e., clothes, towels, etc.), and then as I'm talking with the client, I generally get around and say, 'Ok, it's time for our shower, we'll make it quick like the last time.'"-K
"Finding out why they don't like to shower may be difficult to ascertain, but it will be helpful to know in order to be understanding and, perhaps, aide in cooperation. Maybe they get cold....so, assurance that you will have the room warm (if possible), and have a hair dryer so they will be thoroughly dried may help."-Carin
"Play music he/she likes in the background."-Barbara
The Power of Choice"I had the same issue with getting my 93-year-old mom to shower. I use a sales technique that my brother taught me: Ask whether they'd like to take a shower 'before breakfast' or 'after breakfast,' giving them a choice so they feel like they have some control over their life. In other words, give them a choice rather than asking them if they'd like to take a shower or suggesting they take a shower. Works every time for me."-Cecilia
Doctor's Orders"You can get the doctor to write a prescription that says he has to take a shower every Tuesday and Saturday or something like that."-Donna
Ease Into It"I am in a similar position and I have found that giving the person a warm washcloth with soap for his/her face helps, and if they are reluctant to use it, then offer to help wipe away food or something from their face. Having survived this, they may agree to having their neck and arms etc. washed. With this accomplished, give a clean cloth to wash their private area, while covering them to protect privacy. It should be relatively easy after that. I usually offer a back rub at this point and take the opportunity to wash their back, right down to their legs before applying lotion."-Wendy
Give an Incentive"I would say, 'Let's get your shower done and then we will go for a ride (his favorite thing to do),' or 'When we are done with your shower we will have some ice cream.'"-Pam
Enlist Backup Help"If he's uncomfortable with his daughter giving him the shower, see about a male caregiver to help."-Tammy
"So my recommendation is find someone who appropriately interacts with your father and keep them forever. Dementia patients do not like change and will only take directions from those they trust. It has taken a huge burden off of me and given me some time to actually visit and talk to my dad about the good old days."-Chyrell
While these were just a few suggestions, I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming response. I hope this gives new and experienced caregivers some additional ideas about how to approach this situation. If you are still struggling in this area, please know help is available. I recommend getting in touch with your local Home Instead Senior Care office to enlist the help of a professional CAREGiver trained to assist with bathing and dementia care.

Today's Episode Of FOX News Republican Rehab: Featuring Senator Bill Frist
Reported by Ellen - October 25, 2005
Senator Bill Frist, in political hot water and under federal investigation for suspiciously-timed stock sales, was a perfect candidate for Roger Ailes' Republican Rehab otherwise known as FOX News. What a coincidence that Frist should make an announcement today about immigration - a safe topic that doesn't include Terri Schiavo (whom he diagnosed from a video tape) or anything related to health or the sale of his Hospital Corporation of America stock just before it took a dive. What an even bigger coincidence that Frist should appear on Hannity & Colmes in what was touted as an "exclusive" interview. In fact, Frist talked to several news organizations on Tuesday. What was really exclusive about the H&C interview was that almost all potentially embarrassing questions were left out.
While it's true that immigration has been a subject to which Hannity & Colmes has paid a lot of attention, there's something a bit less compelling about Frist's announcement - that the Senate will take up the issue in early 2006 (more than two months away) - as compared to some of the other matters he is facing. Scripps Howard reports that Frist "talked Tuesday to several reporters who asked why he had suggested in 2003 that his blind trust might no longer hold stock from the hospital company founded by his father and brother, when public Senate records showed he had been notified of HCA stock activity in the trust in the previous May, November and December." According to Scripps Howard, Frist answered that "At times I could be more precise."
Hannity, of course, showed no interest in talking about the stock sale (probably because he couldn't come up with a good way to compare it to something Clinton did). Colmes finally broached the subject at the end of the nearly 20-minute segment - whether Frist wanted to stick to the statement that his stock was in a blind trust with no control or whether he wanted to amend anything he had said. Apparently, Frist thought he had been precise enough for the FOX News audience. He merely said the "query" is going "very well," that he wanted to be treated fairly and that he's confident of the outcome.
No doubt FOX News will do its best to help with its own special brand of fairness.

Stolen Link Dump
Go to The Bronze Blog for a neato collection of time killing links. First is an interesting strategy game about placing guard towers to shoot invading monsters. Second are reviews of the movies Moonraker (very poor James Bond movie) and Moonwalker (Michael Jackson, need I say more), respectively (side note, over the Christmas holidays, my wife's family pulled out their old Sega Genesis to play NHL '94, but I also noted that they had the video game based on Moonwalker - scary). And third are two very high quality fan-made lightsaber duels. Note, though, that in these duels it is very easy to a disarmed person to dodge the lightsaber attacks of the other and in turn successfully attack his opponent with his hands and feet, making me wonder why you wouldn't just dodge your opponent's lightsaber in the beginning and then stab him. On the whole, I still prefer the lightsaber duel from ESB; it's not over-the-top flashy and complicated like the duels from the prequels.

Owner, Licensed Massage Therapist
Founder, Damian Rose, studied computer science in college and "somewhere along the way, I lost my passion for it." Unsure of what to do next, he reflected on what made him happy, remembering that, "I used to massage my friends and family and was told I had great hands." While going to school for massage therapy, Damian "…fell in love with it and realized that massage is not just about the body, it's about body, soul, and spirit. It physically relieves the tension that builds up from physical activity and everyday stress, whether family or work. Tension tightens the muscles and clogs the mind. Massage opens a person, allowing them to think more clearly. It energizes the body and emotionally gives you a lift."Licensed for nine years, Damian uses only natural and organic products. To make the relaxing spa experience convenient, Serenity Rose Massage & Wellness comes to you. Whether it's a parent getting a massage at home so he/she is available to the children or someone that prefers getting a massage by their own pool, Serenity Rose Massage & Wellness makes every effort to accommodate your individual needs."My wish for each client to whom I've given a massage is that I want them to be wowed. I want all of the aches and pains that they had before having the massage melt away. Beyond that, my hope is that when the massage is over and the person gets off the table, they feel fantastic – relaxed, pain free and renewed."

JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The Indonesia's first-ever Children Baby & Maternity Expo (CBME) 2019 opens today at JIExpo Kemayoran Jakarta, from March 27-29, 2019. The expo displays 120 baby, children, and maternity brands, from over 9 countries, including Korea, Germany, Denmark, Taiwan, Mainland China, and Malaysia. Attracting over 4,000 visitors, they will have a first-time experience to get in on the newest industry trend, as well as directly connect with over 120 leading brands, at once.
Mom-preneurs gather at the talkshow
Experience new product at the exhibition.
The three-day exhibition is organized by the Indonesia's largest trade exhibition organizer, Pamerindo Indonesia. Top emerging products include smart baby gear, maternity fashion, as well as baby and toddler's appliances from world's most reputable brands, including Mooimom, Bloom & Grow, Nuna, and Joie. Being the new highlights at the expo, connected toys, as well as high-technology appliances and gears for baby are expected to take its lead this year, as most consumers, particularly millennials, are now focusing on functionality rather than designs or colors.
A research stated that millennial moms tend to spend over eight hours online a day to search for parenting and product advice. It means that they're not willing to buy a product, only based on appearance, but prioritizing on the trusted quality and function.
"Indonesia's consumers, particularly millennials, has been a sensitive market when it comes to function and quality, which later strengthen the control over the business process. Apart of showcasing over 120 leading brands, we will invite prominent thought leaders, as well as community and industry leaders to share their expertise on how to build a business and start to grow it globally, through insightful talk shows and seminar session programs," said Niekke Budiman, Senior Event Manager of Pamerindo Indonesia.
As one of the speakers, Fanny Murhayati, Marketing Director of Kantar Indonesia added, "As now is the millennial mom's generation, it's important for retailers to adapt with the changes, to win new baby market.

Features August 2018 Issue
Perfecting the Toss Requires Some Practice
Passing a line to a helper on shore is as basic a part of seamanship as tying a bowline. You�ve probably seen an old salt seaman cast a line 40 feet as casually as passing the pepper, but more often you�ve seen the line launched with a huge arm swing, only to tangle and fall short of the mark. A few simple tips, all assuming you are right handed and you are throwing �-inch line.
� Tie a Figure 8 on a bight (photo #5) or other bulky knot in the thrown end of the line. The extra weight doesn�t carry the line, but it does help it straighten out to full length. The knot is only required when throwing long distances.
� Coil the rope into your right hand in clockwise loops about two feet long, up to a maximum of about 10 loops (when tossed underhanded the coil will unwind). Do not remove the twist that forms in the coils; you want what is called a figure 8 coil. A neat coil, like you would want to use for storing a rope, will fly into kinks as soon as you throw it.
� If your target is more than 20 feet away, slide the first coil up into the crook of your elbow and coil an additional 8 loops in the same direction.
� Transfer the second coil to your left hand and slide the first coil back down into your right hand.
� Toss the coils in an underhanded manner so that they unwind as they fly. The left-hand coil is tossed more lightly and released a split second later.
� Aim well past the target and a few feet to one side, so that it can drape over an outstretched arm.
When done correctly, this procedure will let you throw a line as far as 40 feet in a moderate cross wind (and a greater distance if the wind is behind you). This includes an allowance for the rope to fly past the receiver.

Molybdenum is a hard, silvery-white metallic element used to toughen Alloy Steels and soften tungsten Alloy. An essential trace element in plant nutrition, it is used in fertilizers, dyes, enamels, and reagents.
About 86% of molybdenum produced is used in metallurgical applications such as Alloys, with the rest of molybdenum used as compounds in chemical applications.
The ability of molybdenum to withstand extreme temperatures without significantly expanding or softening makes it useful in applications that involve intense heat, including the manufacture of armor, aircraft parts, electrical contacts, industrial motors and filaments.

SALISBURY, Md. - The Salisbury University women's tennis team extended its winning streak to 17 matches with Capital Athletic Conference victories over Wesley College and St. Mary's College of Maryland Saturday. The 17th win of the season also marks a program record for wins in a season, passing the 2008 team which finished 16-5.
With the wins, the Sea Gulls (17-2, 4-1) clinch the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the upcoming CAC tournament and are assured of at least one home match in the tournament.
The maroon and gold earned a 9-0 victory over St. Mary's (12-9, 3-2 CAC). The Sea Gulls were paced in victory by sophomore Roxanne Alban who cruised 6-0, 6-1 at No. 3 singles and senior Elaina Iosue who collected a 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 2 over Emily Stumpfig.
Junior Jessica Babyak dominated 6-0, 6-0 at No. 6 while senior Victoria Handlin only dropped one game in the second set, winning 6-0, 6-1 at No. 5.
At No. 4, sophomore Katie Youlios accelerated to a 4-1 lead in the first set, winning 6-1 and then taking the second by a score of 6-3, while freshman Natalie Savage fought off the tough challenge of Shannon Ramsey, earning a 6-2, 6-4 win at No. 1.
The No. 1 doubles pair for the Sea Gulls, Alban and Savage, made quick work of Stumpfig and Lauren Rost, 8-1 before Babyak and Handlin notched the second point of the match for Salisbury, 8-1, at No. 3. Iosue and Youlios wrapped up the doubles sweep for the Sea Gulls, nailing down an 8-2 victory over Ramsey and Alyssa Stine.
In the opening match, Salisbury came away with a 9-0 victory over Wesley (1-5, 0-4 CAC). Sophomores Allison Lutz and Sam Babo each rolled 6-0, 6-0 at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively.
Junior Charlotte Urian also gained a 6-0, 6-0 victory at No. 4, while freshman Megan Knapp dropped only one game on her way to a 6-0, 6-1 win at No. 3.
In doubles, the No. 1 pair of Lutz and Babo collected an 8-0 victory, while the Sea Gull duo of Knapp and freshman Kari Lamboni secured an 8-0 win at No. 2.
The Sea Gulls look for win number 18 when they return to action Friday, April 19 for their final home regular season contest, hosting Washington (Md.) College at the SU Tennis Courts. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.

Does anyone have any ideas around how best to stop the dripping noise from a downpipe?
2 story house on polls, with vertical downpipe running from top roof to bottom of house. Bedroom on top level has the downpipe outside and you can hear quite intense dripping, presumably from when water free falls from the top to the bottom (where it bends and goes under the house). There is no access (ability to scale the wall to do something creative) on that side of the house (without setting up scaffold), and the drop is about 3 stories from top to bottom, due to the lay of the land. The gutters are plastic and I think the downpipes might be metal (ie same as roofing).
I have read some idea which has a length of rope glued to the top and left to dangle all the way to the bottom; so that the water dribbles down the rope rather than free falls...this seems an easy enough idea to "try"...
Any other ideas?

What Can I Say?
A Different Perspective
I have watched loads of 9/11 things. I have my opinion of what happened that day and why but that's not important right now.
It seems like most everything I have seen has been about the buildings either from the air or the aftermath. I had almost forgot there were so many people on the ground that day going here and there, working, relaxing, or whatever. Their perspective of it I could never fully understand or even imagine but this video made me realize how horrific it must have really been for the people on the streets on a regular day.
"102 Minutes That Changed America"
I hope this link works if not it would be worth your while to look for it. I try to keep my links up to date but it's not always possible.:~)
The Falling Man
The Falling Man
I remember 911 well as I am sure many people do. I was at home asleep when a friend rang me and said New York was being attacked... No one knew what was going on and I was scared. The events of that day were traumatic and what haunted me most and always stuck in my mind was the images of people jumping. I couldn't face that...
One night of insomnia I saw this on TV. I decided to face the one thing of that day I had never faced. The one thing I couldn't look at... People jumping.
The images still haunt me but after seeing this I feel different somehow. I feel like these people were forgotten in a way... Over 200 people jumped or fell that day... I had no idea there were that many till I saw The Falling Man.
But why did they jump? How could they? I couldn't....
Question Everything & Think
I guess like everyone I have thoughts and opinions. So I thought I would share some of them here. Some may sound weird to you or even crazy or silly but this is me... the good the bad and the ugly.I have strong opinions but I like to learn new things and I like to try to see things from as many views as I can and keep a very open mind.
Question everything and think!

Professional GPS-based TAXIMETER
In close collaboration with numerous Regulators (like DFHV in Washington DC) and taxi companies worldwide, this Digital Taximeter app has continuously grown in functionality since 2011. Our app is used by thousands of professional drivers around the world every day.
It calculates with highest precision and manages all situations that may arise during a trip.
The Taxi Company Manager maintains the company tariff on our website. Complex tariff structures and settings can be setup with a few clicks. Pre-set tariffs from 200 cities around the globe can be copied and then amended for the Company's own purpose.
Company drivers are setup on our website as well. Driver will only have to login in the app and tariff and settings will be automatically loaded. They are protected against change on the device.
Driver's position can be followed on a map.
Trips done can be viewed on our website and downloaded for further processing. Queries can be run.
The app misses nothing that is expected from a professional taximeter: Automatic detection of applicable tariff, holding and cancelling a trip, waiting mode, cross-over speed, slow traffic management, extras, calculate quote for a trip, manage GPS bad quality and loss, trip reference number across entire fleet, personalized passenger receipt, send receipt by Email or SMS, your company logo on the main view, and much more.
The app supports the payment process with Square™.
This app communicates with our other app 'BackSeat', where passenger can follow the route, see the fare amount + extras, see details about the applied tariff, see driver's name, decide on how he wants to pay and type in his email address or cellphone number for receipt delivery at end of trip. 'BackSeat' also supports the payment process with Square™.
Visit our FAQ section on taximeter-gps.com for more details.
This app can be configured as a 'White Label' for a Company's very specific needs, like Automatic Toll Detection, special reporting requirements, driver verification against Taxi Company's database, …
(Link to White Label Digital Meter Washington DC.)
This app offers increased functionality compared to a built-in taximeter – for a fraction of the costs.
Digital transformation has reached the taximeter. You no longer need to invest in a bulky built-in device. No more mandatory calibration. And all this with an increased calculation precision and functional richness.

Popular culture[edit]
For something to have entered our "popular culture" - it is not enough for it to exist. We need verifiable reliable sources that specifically say something has entered our popular culture - that is, our public awareness. None of the items formerly listed in this section included any such indication. Hence these items were mere bits of trivial original research. By comparison, "Prada" has entered our popular culture not simply because a movie included the brand in its title but because numerous sources discussed this fact. Frankly, I doubt PGP has entered the realm of public awareness at all, let alone to the degree that a reliable source would actually publish an article about this fact. Rklawton (talk) 01:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- That was a necessary and valid edit, backed with a sound argument that I shall probably steal for future use on other pages. Thanks! --Old Moonraker (talk) 05:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Your welcome. Sometimes I get lucky. Feel free to re-use as necessary. Rklawton (talk) 07:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Examples of signed messages and public keys would be good[edit]
I believe it would be an improvement if the article had examples of public keys and signed and encrypted messages. --TiagoTiago (talk) 23:30, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Weasel words?[edit]
Isn't "it is thought to be the most widely chosen quality cryptographic system" an example of weasel words? The whole "some people say..." or "it is believed that..." is supposed to be a no-no, isn't it? Thomascameron (talk) 02:29, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
Written in[edit]
The section "Written in" in the infobox should say which programming language was used. Right now it mentions a list of human languages which is pretty amusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by UrbanGrill (talk • contribs) 19:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
PGP Desktop[edit]
PGP Desktop shouldn't be redirected here. PGP Desktop is a commercial Symantec product. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 20:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Thats my opinion too. I tried to edit the reference; but i'm not very expirienced in wikipedia. The edit button reveals only a refence to a reference list :-( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 06:04, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Speculation in secton Security quality[edit]
Speculations about the future, bordering to FUD: "Likewise, the secret key algorithm used in PGP version 2 was IDEA, which might, at some future time, be found to have a previously unsuspected cryptanalytic flaw. Specific instances of current PGP, or IDEA, insecurities—if they exist—are not publicly known." Is this relevant? Can hypothetical unknown future flaws be sourced today? (The two sentences was added 06:55, 16 October 2005 and 13:39, 25 October 2005 respectively) David A se (talk) 21:00, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Prices are relevant[edit]
This article mentions many software systems, and many versions, but fails to state which are free and give approximate prices for those that are not free. Price is an important dimension for articles describing products that are sold or distributed. David Spector (user/talk) 19:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
What is the license under which this program is released? Please add this to the infobox. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 17:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Be advised -- this article's subject was mentioned on XKCD.com. Not in a way that mentions Wikipedia or seemingly invites vandalism, but that webcomic + wikipedia seems to be a recipe for it. Jsharpminor (talk) 05:45, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
key, fingerprint[edit]
Many people (usually computer programmers) have a "PGP key" (a huge block of hexagesimal code) and a "PGP fingerprint" (a line of hexagesimal code). They often post these on their websites. Could someone please explain in the article what these mean and what they are used for? Thanks! BigSteve (talk) 11:16, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
unclear for the unknowledgeable[edit]
I read this and don't understand how it works, the article needs to show step by step how it works. Like, where does one get a public or private key or both, and how do you get them to people you're sending info to? The intro paragraph and first section "design" are completely opaque to the non technical user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 15:36, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
I found this http://www.pgpi.org/doc/pgpintro/ to be much better than wikipedia to gain a basic understanding. Hope this info helps to improve wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 16:02, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Symantec Encryption Desktop (former PGP Desktop)[edit]
The "PGP Corporation encryption applications" section mentions "Symantec Encryption Desktop" as the renamed follower of "PGP Desktop". However, it seems to me that this information is outdated already - "Symantec Encryption Desktop" seems to have been discontinued. The Symantec website only shows "Symantec Endpoint Encryption", which seems to be a full disk encryption only. If this were true, I think the article should reflect this. Kellerpm (talk) 10:46, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
The other side of the coin![edit]
This article focus more on the upside of PGP and doesn't discuss the related issues/technical limitations that PGP has. This blogpost by Mr. Matthew Green highlights those issues well (which Mr. Bruce Schneier endorsed himself as well).
Therefore a separate section named 'PGP limitations' or 'PGP issues' describing the associated concerns with key exchange and management, no forward secrecy, downside of web-of-trust (few strong sets, ...), poor usability, lack of ubiquity etc should also be included.
This will duly help the readers in having a more balanced and fair understanding of PGP on the whole.
M Salman Nadeem (talk) 16:07, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- I think this is a great idea. I also like the section name "PGP limitations" or something very close to it. Rklawton (talk) 17:59, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- I agree; I just started the section with a small amount of content. Riceissa (talk) 03:49, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Split article into PGP (software) and OpenPGP (standard)[edit]
OpenPGP is a hugely important standard with wide applications. I understand why this article may have begun as PGP and also talks about OpenPGP, but I think most people are coming to this page to learn about OpenPGP, its implementations, applications, limitations, etc, and are likely to be confused. The article as it now is poorly structured, and thinking about how ways to improve it is challenging when it really covers 2 separate areas. I propose moving OpenPGP to a separate article. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 03:46, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
Official Website[edit]
It doesn't look like that link has been active in years, as Symantec took it down back in 2011 according to the Wayback Machine. Should this be noted on the page? Is there a better link at Symantec or elsewhere that should now be used? Indefensible (talk) 08:11, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

bike share is coming
Tagged: bike share, healthy ride
Millvale riverfront park would be a good spot, both for recreational riders and commuters.
Card is the preferred method for me, because I don't have to whip out my phone and access the app for renting a bike. Regardless, it's great to have many options for this, as opposed to only or two methods which half the users dislike.
As for future stations, other than the ones mentioned in the last couple of posts, I'd like to see (keeping in mind relative proximity to existing stations):
– One or two more along Liberty Ave between 33rd and the Bloomfield bridge
-East Ohio St business district, though this may have to wait until PennDOT is done with their work there
– Further up Central Northside, on Brighton and Pennsylvania
– Somewhere on Western Ave
– Regent Square, one near Forbes and another near D's
– Science Center/Heinz Field/Casino area
– West End business district, though significant improvements will be required here in terms of infrastructure (there's a couple of forum topics on this that I won't get into)
– Begin expansion towards the southern ridge: stations at upper Duquesne Incline, Shiloh St, Grandview Park, Arlington-Warrington intersection, 18th-Brownsville intersection
– Two or three more stations further up Butler St.
– Start going up Highland Ave and/or Neville
– Two or three more stations in that triangle-shaped gap in the Golden Triangle between Liberty, Fifth, and Grant
And many more! Hell, it might even be cool to see a practically isolated set of stations between Beechview and Dormont, along Broadway
I rode from the station on north avenue over to BOA at Parkview the other day. The hub did skip here and there and the brakes seemed squishier than day 1.
It served the purpose, which was to get me (a lot closer to) home on a day I'd dropped off a bike and was without. Of course, there is no shortage of good candidate locations in squirrel hill that would have gotten me a lot closer still.
At the very, very, very least Murray just North of Forbes alongside the library needs to be in the next wave of expansion, almost no matter how small as both direct demand and connectivity to transit is really solid there.
In semi-related news, my son just went to Ohio State in Columbus, so I got an email blast that the University is rolling out its own Bike Share system! called Zagster ! with 15 stations ! and 115 bikes ! For a campus of 50,000. :/ Aim low, Buckeyes.
Also it is not clear if and how the OSU system interfaces with the separate but equal city of Columbus system called CoGo, with 30 stations and undisclosed number of bikes. Seems like someone failed to communicate.
Whatever, the boy has his own rad bicycle and is rocking the place.
I've only ever keyed in phone# and pin, and that's so easy i can't see bothering to get a card.
@offtn, I'm not sure that's an issue in this case, with Pittsburgh Bike Share being a private organization. I would think that they could expand to any of the surrounding communities, though it'd be understandable if they choose to expand to other areas of the city before going outside its limits
…and down by the boat launch is right on the border. It might actually be in the city, depending on where it's placed. In fact, I can see it being problematical if you placed too many bikes there, as it would rapidly become a park & ride, for which it does not have adequate parking to handle. That aside, if 100 people did park there and hopped on bikes to finish their commute, that's 100 fewer cars trying to get in and out of downtown. We want that.
To temper my somewhat harsh cynicism of the OSU system earlier, it seems their system includes "ADA accessible bikes in OSU's bike share … hand pedaled bikes, side by side tandems, adult tricycles, cargo bikes, and heavy duty bikes." I don't know that any other system I've seen does that. That's kind of flipping awesome.
Also their system costs a little more than half per-bike than the Columbus city system. So perhaps they have some idea of what they're doing.
Casey Neistat make a fun little video comparing taxi, his own bike, and Citibike bike share, in New York City to see which was the least pain in the ass. He concluded that bike share was the winner! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po85lER-qRo
Pittsburgh's bike sharing service starts off healthy
Citi Bike Stations: Landlords' Latest Tenant Perk
Jamestown is the first New York City landlord to use a sponsorship program to bring the shared bicycle system called Citi Bike to the front door of its Falchi Building…
Although a Citi Bike station was installed about a block away from the building and a subway stop on the 7 line isn't far, having a bicycle docking station right outside its doors was essential, said Michael Phillips, Jamestown president.
Maybe you could cut & paste the article for us, marko82, because I hit a paywall at WSJ.
Odd, it let me read it in full yesterday, but now I'm hitting the pay wall too.
Sorry about that.
A Chrome incognito window or something similar can get you around most paywalls.
A behind-the-scenes look with Healthy Ride:
Some interesting tidbits, though I can't say I'm surprised by the "quirk" mentioned in the post
Bikeshare to 28x to the airport and you are on your way! @healthyridepgh @PGHtransit @PITairport pic.twitter.com/vlAfp86T0r

that is a mighty suitcase to be squeezing into that rack…
(of course, in other cities, you could actually take bikeshare _to_ the airport, but….oh, never mind.)
Healthy Ride releases ride data for 3rd quarter of 2015:
The data is available to the public and is about as raw as possible. It includes:
– bike ID
– origin and destination stations
– trip date, time and duration
– user type
Obviously, it does not include user IDs. Over 40,000 bike checkouts were made during this 3 month period. You can analyze the data in any way you like.
Out of sheer boredom, I dug into the raw data a little bit. Here are the best and worst performing stations over the 3-month period… drumroll please…
Top 5 stations for bikes to be checked out of:
1) S 27th St & Tunnel Blvd (Southside Works) – 2,194 bikes checked out.
2) Forbes Ave & Market Square – 2,193
3) Liberty Ave & Stanwix St. – 1,961
4) 10th St & Penn Ave (David L. Lawrence Convention Center) – 1,846
5) 21st St & Penn Ave – 1,735
And the top 5 stations for bikes to be returned:
Erm, it's exactly the same as the above, but with slightly different numbers (Southside Works had 2,487 bikes checked in, for example).
As for the worst performing stations, by bikes checked out…
1) Centre Ave & Kirkpatrick St – 70
2) Frew St. & Schenley Dr. – 103
3) Shady Ave and Ellsworth Ave – 212
4) S Euclid Ave & Centre Ave – 217
5) Centre Ave & Consol Energy Center – 263
The worst performing stations by bikes checked in is the same 1-3, but 4 and 5 are:
4) Centre Ave & Consol Energy Center – 169
5) Penn Ave & N Fairmount St – 212
The Centre Ave & Kirkpatrick St station had only 37 bikes returned to it! I'm going to dig a little deeper in a bit. I'll also share the spreadsheet I created, if I can figure out how.
Zipcar is getting multi-modal and adding rental cars adjacent to bike share stations!
The new stations will put car rental and bike rental stations in the same place. The new Zipcar sites are:
42nd Street and Penn Avenue (Children's Hospital)
Third Avenue and Wood Street (Downtown)
1st Avenue and Smithfield Street (Downtown)
42nd Street and Butler Street (Lawrenceville)
South Euclid and Centre avenues (Shadyside)
Ivy and Walnut streets (Shadyside)
12th Street and Penn Avenue (Strip District)
@doublestraps ha! you beat me to it. I too have been doing some data analysis. I've added a few fields, such as grouping stations in regards to what neighborhood they are in, and other nerdy crap. I ended up with a decent Pivot table that can tell you a lot of things. For instance:
– 31% of rentals are roundtrips, meaning the bike is rented and returned at the same station
– On that same note, roundtrips are the most popular trip of each station. The most popular non-roundtrip trip? Between 10th/Penn and 21st/Penn
– Nearly 84% of all trips are "flat", meaning there is no relative elevation change between origin and destination (roundtrips are considered flat, even if the renter decided to use an HRB for Dirty Dozen hill reps). For this purpose, I consider all stations in downtown, South Side, Strip and the two on Butler to be at the same elevation. Same for those in the East End/Oakland. With that in mind, 10% trips are downhill and the remainder 6% are uphill
-35% of rentals are made by monthly members
– Most popular rental station during morning rush hour: 12th and Carson. Most popular return station in this same time period: Fifth Ave and Bouquet
– Most popular rental station during evening rush hour: 10th and Penn. Most popular return station in this same time period: South Side Works on 27th St
– Most popular day to rent a bike: Saturday
– Most popular bike: 70417, with 145 rentals
– Not all possible trip combinations have been made. For instance, apparently nobody has attempted to travel from the Market Square station to the one on Liberty Ave and Millvale in Bloomfield
And so forth (yes, I was bored). The data set is sufficiently comprehensive that you can determine what the average travel time was by monthly members between two different stations on Thursdays at lunch time. I can share this file via DropBox. DM if you'd like a copy, or I can post the link here later
Thx for the data wrangling. I'm wondering if either of you deleted any data before processing? I.e., a lot of "rides" took 1, or 3, or 9 seconds and were most likely people unable to pull the bike out, or people that changed their minds, etc. Not sure what an appropriate cutoff would be, but I'd say if the bike was out less than 180 seconds and it was returned where it was rented, that might be deleted. (Of course that could also give us an idea of % of problem rentals.)
@jamin, I did delete some data. There were a little over 40,000 rides in the original data set. I whittled that down to 39,208, after I deleted all rides to and from the Healthy Ride office, as well as errant returns (i.e. bikes that weren't returned to an official station for whatever reason).
From the remaining data, 2,988 rides were under 3 mins. 2,686 of these resulted in bikes being returned to the same station, suggesting problem rentals and, to a lesser degree, rental demonstrations. Of the remaining 302, a few seem to be legitimate trips. For example, 5 people have cruised down from 42nd and Penn to 42nd and Butler in under 3 mins.
While we are on the subject, 62% of rentals are under 30 mins (this includes the "problem" ones mentioned above). 18% are between 30 and 60 mins
@doublestraps, regarding the worst performing stations, it should be noted that the one at Frew St. and Schenley Drive in Schenley Park only started operating in September. They had some problems with station connectivity so it was not in service until then. The first successful rental at that station dates from September 10. With that being said, the fifth worst performing station for rentals becomes the one on S Whitfield St and Baum Blvd in East Liberty (aka The Invisible Station), and the fifth worst for returns is S Euclid and Centre Ave (aka the Whole Foods one).
The station on Centre Ave and Kirkpatrick, the worst performing one by just about any key metric, has a lot of issues. For one, it's geographically isolated, whereas all of the other stations are mostly clustered around each other. Getting to it involves climbing from pretty much any direction, and if you go from it to any station east, you'll have to climb as well. I think this station should be relocated closer to downtown, near the Shop n Save shopping center. Or, when the system expands, they could close the gap by adding a station here as well. Not to mention the lack of bike infrastructure in the area, which is a deal-breaker for potential riders. Perhaps Healthy Ride could do more outreach around here to promote the system better, but I doubt that will have a significant effect.
Of the other stations, the one at Consol is perhaps an unsurprisingly unpopular one, despite being one of two largest stations in the system (35 docks, tied with the one on the North Shore). Other than the arena and two hotels nearby, there's really not much else. Besides the occasional event, there was very little reason to go to and from there this summer. Perhaps now that hockey season has begun, use will pick up, but until the Civic Arena lot is redeveloped, there will be little reason to go here. That being said, I think this station would be more popular if it was located along Fifth Ave, where there are bars, restaurants and other businesses. The current location along Centre Ave is pretty much "out of sight, out of mind"
the fifth worst performing station for rentals becomes the one on S Whitfield St and Baum Blvd in East Liberty (aka The Invisible Station)
Interesting. I think 90% of my rides have involved this station.
The station at Consol Energy is the one closest my office. But, I find that I only rent from there. I do not return there. It is primarily accessible from Centre Avenue. You can get to it from Washington Place, but Fifth is one way inbound (I usually use the rental to jaunts into downtown, or the Strip). You could come back out on Forbes, but then you have a one block steepish downhill, to a light, then a one block steepish uphill to a light, where you would turn right to return the bike.
I'd rather return the bike to a station a couple blocks away, closer to downtown, BEFORE I have to climb up Sixth or Seventh Avenue from USX/Mellon. Crossing I-579 entails a nasty 2 blocks with odd traffic patterns (and one intersection was under construction for a bit this summer.) I don't usually mind it on my own bike, with a helmet and hi viz clothing, but I don't like it on a HelBike. I sometimes even rent/return at Stevenson Street, a few blocks further away from my office to avoid returning at the Consol station.
@dmtroyer, I think the low number of rentals (281) and returns (290) there is due in part to the fact that it's not a particularly visible station. It might get more use if it's kept in the same general area but located on Penn, Highland, or Centre. Interestingly though, it's the station where there's the highest share of rentals and returns made by monthly subscribers – both figures are ~69%. The one with the lowest share is the station along the North Shore trail, with 11%

Had a Twitter conversation a bit ago with a bus driver and some bike users. What experience has anyone had with a HR bike on a bus rack? I've done it once, with positive results. It wasn't a long or difficult ride, just downtown out to Parkway Center Mall. Those buggers are heavy, something like 37 pounds, but they fit fine.
Has anyone ever run into a bus driver who refused to take a HR bike on a bus rack? I'm told it's happened. They should be OK, though. Those racks are good to 80 pounds. Two of them might be testing the limits of a bus rack, though. Or maybe that's 80# per bike, maximum two. I don't know, but I can find out.
"Yet More Evidence Bike-Share Isn't Reaching the Poor" with some charts and graphs
But also something good in the article:
Earlier this month, the chairs of the Congressional Bike Caucus introduced a bipartisan bill (#faints) called the "Bikeshare Transit Act." By designating bike-share systems as public transportation, the legislation would make them clearly eligible for federal funding
I don't know if the poor as a whole want to ride a bike or not? I know some that grew up very poor and never learned to ride a bike. That being said, there needs to be a desire by any group of people to actually want to ride a bike for transportation. Many would much prefer to be on a bus. I also feel there may be some poor that would make fun of others if seen on a bicycle. Sort of how people act in some groups if you have old beat up shoes on, instead of the latest Jordans. As crazy as that sounds to some, it is a reality for others. Lots of things at play in those statistics.
ICYMI, Healthy Ride released their data for Q4 of 2015. As before, I deleted some data that is either irrelevant (trips to/from Bike Share office) or is bad. Some highlights:
Total number of trips: 15,931, down from 39k in Q3
76% of trips were one way (meaning different origin and destination), up from 68.9% in Q3. In fact, it's worth noting that 17 out of the 50 stations have a one way trip as their most popular one. These stations are mostly in the East End and Oakland. This is in contrast with Q3, where all stations had roundtrips as the most popular trip. This, to me, suggests more commuting and less leisurely rides.
Most popular trip: Roundtrip on 27th/Tunnel way (Southside Works) station
Most popular one way trip: Boulevard of the Allies/Parkview to Schenley Plaza
Most popular stations: 10th/Penn, Fifth Ave/Bouquet, SouthSide Works, 21st and Penn, Liberty/Stanwix
Least popular: Centre/Kirkpatrick, Shady/Ellsworth, Euclid/Centre, Consol, Zulema St/Coltart
Station popularity by month (Q4):
October: 10th/Penn (Total trips), Fifth Ave/Bouquet (one way only)
November: Same as October
December: Liberty/Stanwix (total), BOTA/Parkview (one way)
October: 10th/Penn (total), 21st/Penn (one way)
November: Same as October
December: Liberty/Stanwix (total), Market Square (one way)
Most popular bike: 70493, 59 trips
1606 trips under 3 mins, 355 one-way. So almost 10% of trips are likely problem rentals.
75% of trips are under 30 min
12.55% are between 30 and 60 mins
22.8% of trips originated downtown, down from 27% in Q3; 20.44% originated in Oakland, up from 13% in Q3
49.6% of trips were made by subscribers, up from 35.8% in Q3
Most popular day to rent a bike: Sunday 16.72%; least popular is Tuesday at 12.43%
Most popular morning rush hour trip: Alder St/Highland to Bakery Sq
Most popular evening rush hour trip: 10th/Penn to 21st/Penn
Station with highest share of monthly member trips: Bakery Square (85%),
Station with the lowest share of monthly member trips: North Shore trail (16%)
Healthy Ride at 6 months:
Most popular stations: South Side works, Market Square, 10th/Penn, Liberty/Stanwix, 21st/Penn
Least popular stations: Centre/Kirkpatrick, Shady/Ellsworth, Euclid/Centre (Whole Foods), Consol, Whitfield/Baum
Most popular trip (all): 27th/Tunnel Way (South Side Works) roundtrip
Most popular one way trip: 10th/Penn to 21st/Penn
Customer share: 56% pay as you go, 39.8% monthly, 0.1% daily pass, 4.1% undetermined (this is mostly because of incomplete data from the station at Schenley Plaza)
Most popular bike: 70234, 186 trips
HealthyRide will start redistributing bikes with bikes:

As I biked around the city yesterday, I observed how well-located the bike share stations were to the day's big events:
anti- or pro-Trump rally at Soldiers & Sailors: bike station just outside on Bigelow.
Pirates game at PNC Park: bike station right there on 6th.
anti-Trump rally at Smallman & 12th: bike station one block away on Penn.
Trump event at Convention Center: bike station right there on 10th. (pic below)
Penguins game at Consol Center: bike station outside on Centre.
Climate Change movie at Carnegie Lecture Hall: bike station on Schenley Drive.
All of the above were under one block away, but there was one that required a walk of 5 blocks (oy!):
Chelsea Clinton event in Highland Park: bike station on Whitfield.
Study: Bikeshare Riders Get In Far Fewer Crashes Than Other Cyclists
Study: Bikeshare Riders Get In Far Fewer Crashes Than Other Cyclists
Somewhat amazingly, there is actually yet to be a single death in the US that occurred during the utilization of a bikeshare service here. Considering that cyclist deaths are not exactly uncommon the US — some parts of the US are downright dangerous to ride a bicycle in or through, owing to insufficient infrastructure and careless drivers — that really is quite remarkable.

1. Sport, global development and conflict — for example: can sport be a tool for social and/or economic development or for coexistence and peace in regions of protracted conflict? How does sport and play impact education in developing nations? Can e-sport tournaments be used to foster peace, coexistence and tolerance? (These are examples of research questions for this topic but you are welcome to interpret the topic as you see fit)
2. Sport Media, Activist Athletes and Social Change — for example, what role does sport media play in setting the conversation about athletes and activism (potential topics include the Kaepernick situation/anthem debate or how LeBron James and Kevin Durant handled the 'shut up and dribble' comments last year; how athletes with disabilities press for awareness, adequate compensation and increased visibility; trans athletes fights to participate in appropriate tournaments)

NI ROCKS Recommends "Smokin Delta Voodoo" by EVERY MOTHER'S NIGHTMARE
Last year American rockers Every Mother's Nightmare (EMN) released "Grind", their first album in fifteen years, and founding-member, singer Rick Ruhl was my guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show. EMN have now re-released their third album "Smokin Delta Voodoo" which initially appeared in 2000. The new re-packaged and re-engineered version of the album was released on 8th June via HighVol Music and includes four additional demo tracks. I've played tracks from the original version on the Shows many times over the past 8 years and the new version of "Delta Voodoo" was featured on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 15th June.
EMN formed in Memphis in 1987 and made their breakthrough with their self-titled debut album which was released via Arista Records in 1990. That album included their best known tracks "Walls Come Down" and "Love Can Make You Blind". The follow-up album "Wake Up Screaming" was released in1993, again via Arista. The changing rock scene meant that their third album "Smokin Delta Voodoo" didn't appear until 2000. That album plus two further albums in 2001 and 2002 were released via Perris Records. There was then a gap during which the band continued to perform but did not release any new music, until 2015 when the EP "Grind" appeared.
Singer Rick Ruhl was my guest on the Friday NI Rocks Show in September 2017 just ahead of the release of the album "Grind" – http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/3195-ni-rocks-interview-with-rick-ruhl-from-every-mothers-nightmare.html – and talked about the history of the band and future plans.
The current line-up features Rick Ruhl on vocals, John Guttery and Travis 'Gunner' Butler on guitars, Jim Phipps on drums and Troy Fleming on bass. When "Smokin Delta Voodoo" was first released in 2000 the line-up featured Rick Ruhl on vocals, Troy Fleming on bass Jeff Caughron and Travis Hall on guitars and Kris 'Newt' Beavers on drums. The re-released album has been re-packaged with a great new cover, includes four raw demo tracks and has been re-engineered by Anthony Focx.

About "NI Rocks Recommends"
The simple idea behind "NI Rocks Recommends" is to acknowledge and promote some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI. The albums that I'll be recommending are those that you'll hear me playing tracks from on my shows.
I'll not be giving marks or ratings or analyzing the tracks in great detail; just telling you something about the artist and the album. It's a personal recommendation to go check something out, not a traditional "review"!

Moscow Artesian Basin
Moscow Artesian Basin
an artesian basin in the center of the Eastern European Plain. Structurally it belongs to the southwestern part of the Moscow tectonic depression. The area of the basin is approximately 360, 000 sq km. The water-bearing beds are confined to a complex of calcareous terrigenous rock ranging from Early Cambrian to Quaternary in age and resting on a folded crystalline basement. In accord with the general subsidence of the basement from the southwest to the northeast, the thickness of the sedimentary deposits changes from 100–300 to 4, 000–4, 500 m. The Moscow artesian basin is characterized by the presence of three vertical zones that differ with respect to the particular features of the hydrodynamic and hydrochemical conditions.
The upper zone, or the zone of intensive water exchange (intensive underground drainage), is characterized by conditions conducive to the infiltration of atmospheric water, by the interaction of individual water-bearing complexes, and by a hydraulic connection of the underground water with surface watercourses and reservoirs. The conditions for the feeding, drainage, discharge, and formation of the underground water resources are closely linked to the particular features of the topography and climate, as well as to the draining action of the river network. This zone, which is about 250–300 m thick, contains mainly fresh water (up to 1 g/l) of the hydrocarbonate class.
Below the upper zone is a zone of restricted water exchange, where the movement of underground water has been greatly impeded because of the great depth, the slight influence of river drainage, and minor fissuring of the rock. The leaching of salts is impeded, and sulfates and chlorides predominate in the composition of the water. The water is subsaline or saline with a mineralization ranging from 5–10 to 50 g/l. The thickness of the zone is 300–400 m.
In the deepest regions of the Moscow artesian basin lies a zone of greatly reduced water exchange. The flow of the water and the processes of rock elutriation are negligible here, and brines have developed with a high concentration from 50 to 270 g/l and with sodium chloride as the principal salt. The thickness of the zone varies from 400–500 to 1, 600–2, 000 m in the most subsided portions of the basin.
The underground fresh waters of the basin have long been a source of water for Moscow and the entire central industrial region of the European USSR. The underground water in the Moscow artesian basin constitutes as much as 40 percent of the total water resources of the basin's territory. About 15–20 percent of the water supply for the aquifers comes from atmospheric precipitation. The Carboniferous water-bearing complexes are most abundant; their waters are widely used for drinking and industrial purposes.
The saline waters and brines from the zones of reduced water exchange, confined predominantly to the Devonian and Permian deposits, are used for therapeutic and balneological purposes (Staraia Russa, Kashin). The slightly mineralized waters (4g/l ) from the Upper Devonian strata in the Moscow region are known as Moscow mineral water.
