Professor studies link between age, illness
As if colds and the flu aren't bad enough, a breakdown in communications between our brains and our immune systems may serve to prolong our agony as we get older, University of Illinois research indicates.
UI Professor Rod Johnson thinks aged microglial cells, key immune cells in the brain, overreact to signals from our body's immune system in response to pathogens.
Assessment program aims to speed up response time
URBANA – In the space of three hours, you can:
– Bake a small turkey.
– Clean up the house before the company arrives.
– And, quite possibly, minimize the damage done by the most common kind of stroke – that is, if you get to the hospital fast enough.
Capitol files: Blagojevich's press release for AllKids quite the doozy
Gov. Rod Blagojevich this week issued what was probably the longest press release The News-Gazette Capitol bureau has seen since it reopened in July 2000.
The 8-page doozy of a release announced the governor's signing of the All Kids legislation, designed to make sure no child in Illinois goes without health insurance.
Governor signs cold medicine measure into law
SPRINGFIELD – Starting Jan. 15, Illinois shoppers must show a photo ID and sign a log book in order to purchase most nonprescription cold medications.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed legislation on Wednesday classified ephedrine and pseudoephedrine as "schedule V controlled substances," making them more difficult for both the legitimately congested and the illegal methamphetamine manufacturer to obtain.
All Kids measure becomes law
SPRINGFIELD – Surrounded by children at a Chicago elementary school press conference, Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed his All Kids insurance plan into law on Tuesday.
"Today marks a major achievement for Illinois families who are doing everything they're supposed to do – working hard, paying their taxes, raising their families – but still can't afford health insurance for their children," Blagojevich stated in a written release. "With All Kids, every child in Illinois will be able to go to the doctor for regular checkups, or to the dentist to fill a cavity, or to the eye doctor to get a prescription for glasses. With All Kids, every child can get the care they need when they need it."
Open sign-up period begins for new Medicare option
URBANA – Do you take any medicines?
Are you eligible for Medicare?
Critics: Illinois clings too much to institutions for services
When Elaine and Michael Palencia of Champaign placed their son's name on a waiting list to live in a small group home for developmentally disabled adults, they knew it would take some time for a space to become available.
What they didn't know was how long the wait would be.
Disability advocates say 'community first,' but legislators want more answers
The brain tumor had sapped much of Cynthia Churchill's physical strength. But not her spirit.
When Jack Delzell first met Churchill, she was in a nursing home, confined to a wheelchair and dependent on a personal aide to get out of bed. She was difficult to understand and had to communicate through a special book. But her first words to Delzell were as plain as day: "Get me the (blank) out of here."
"She couldn't talk, but she got that out very clearly," recalled Delzell, coordinator of the Community Reintegration Program run by Persons Assuming Control of Their Environment, an independent living center in Urbana.
Family to join walker in golden moment
OGDEN – Five years ago, when the late Dennis Collins of Urbana realized that he was dying of cancer, he told his family that he wasn't afraid to die. His biggest regret, he told them, was that he wouldn't get to see his grandchildren grow up.
"He said he didn't want his grandkids to forget about him," said his daughter, Kim Nigg of Ogden. "He asked us to talk about him and not let them forget who he was. He wanted us to tell them he loved them, and tell them he was going to miss them."
Researchers to lead effort to develop nanomedicine
University of Illinois researchers will be working to create tiny devices that perform many of the functions of biological membranes, like the organ in electric eels that produces electricity or the membranes that keep our nasal passages, airways and lungs moist.
The UI is the lead institution in a new nanomedicine development center to be funded by a $6.2 million, five-year grant, under a $43 million National Institutes of Health program that's supposed to advance medical discoveries to the point of routine use. The UI is hosting one of four centers being funded nationally this year, with a total of eight to be formed over two years.

Nova and home button
Not sure why this has become an issue as of late, but when I press the Home button, it usually takes two presses to get back to the default page, if the page I was in wasn't the default page. From within an app, one press takes me back to the desktop, but only to the screen I was in before entering that app.
My desktop spans 3 pages...and I have page two set as the default page. I want to be able to press the home button once to get to the default page. That doesn't seem to work. I have played with all the settings in Nova, all to no avail. I have not even seen an update in Nova in a very long time...

Re: Nova and home button
My nova launcher does this also if within an app and tap home button I have to hit it it twice to get back to home no matter what I have tried...therefore, I installed SWIPE HOME, and set it to got to number of the page I call my home screen...I also have SWIPE PAD set up the same way. I don't like that button at all and have alway had to hit it twice to get home from within an app. Swipe up comes in handy and you can set the zone and sensitivity. If you are a tap typer and not a swyper you may want to set the swipe for some thing off the space bar area as it overlaps that...I swipe so not much of a problem. Hope you find what works but it has never worked for me that's why I resorted to the previous.
Maybe shoot an email to developer and they can fix...I still don't like the button and will stick to what I have tho.

How to Find the Right House to Call Home
Buyers go through a process of discovery to determine what is the right house to purchase and every buyer is different in what they are looking for in their new home. So what are the "right things" that a buyer should be looking for in a "new home" ?
For each experience home buyer or first time buyer--there are four fundamentals of finding a new home:
The area. The region of town. The community itself. Even the street itself can be a factor for some buyers. This may include being in the "right" school district or may be related to how far you have to drive to get to work. For some buyers this is about being close to entertainment or recreation. Or maybe it is about getting away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and work. And then some buyers are very interested in the community's amenities. Each need is different and determining your need early on is important.
The lot. You may be looking for a large lot, a small lot, a lot with trees, a pool, backing to a green belt. A lot with a view or lake frontage are all factors that affect the desirability of a home for a buyer--and they all affect the price as well. It is all about supply and demand. If the demand is high and especially if the supply is low or equal to demand--you should always expect to pay a premium. Like houses in some of our premium school districts--demand can be much higher than the existing demand, creating a very competitive market for buyers.
The house itself. Of course the features of the house itself are a huge factor in any property purchase decision. New house. Old house. Big house. Blue house...uuuhhhh...Small house. Size of house and size of rooms. Game room. Media room. Condition of the home. Currency of design and architecture. Quality and condition of the flooring. Appliances. Ceiling heights. Fixtures. And many, many other features can be added to this list for any given buyer.
Budget. While this is ostensibly top-of-mind for every buyer when they start out looking, the budget normally loses focus compared to the wish list of features. Knowing your budget and understanding the limitations of that budget in light of all of the other items above that you want in your house is critical to effective house hunting. When you find the perfect home and it is 25% higher than your ceiling budget, you have a problem. There is usually a reason why the house that has all the features that you lined up on your wish list is considerably more than the house that needs some work and some repairs.
Mapping out how much a lot, a specific community and specific house features we can buy within our budget limitations will insure that when the right house does come along that you do not miss it--holding out for "something better". At your budget, that may in fact be the nicest home that you can afford--after all, you liked it a lot--you just had a moment of doubt and uncertainty about your list of features. Better to recognize the right house when it presents itself than to miss the chance of a life, only to regret it later.

Simplification of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme - .PDF file.
On 20 November, the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) issued a consultation seeking industry opinion on a tidy-up of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme on two issues.
The consultation seeks views on: how the CRC can be used to provide incentives for the uptake of onsite renewable electricity without double counting; and DECC's proposals to introduce an exemption from the CRC on energy supplied to metallurgical and mineralogical processes, stemming from the changes to the Climate Change Levy announced in the 2013 Budget.
The consultation closes on 17 December 2013…

1. Re: New Boy on the floor.Q Q QMatthew Morris Dec 10, 2012 2:29 PM (in response to 978984)
Currently working on ETL. Is it ok to start with Oracle 11g given that Oracle 12g is expected to be launched sometime in 2013 ?11G will be around for years to come. Companies are around that are still running 9i. However, if you want to wait for 12C, you could at least start with the SQL component. I consider it unlikely that the SQL Fundamentals will be re-written for 12C, so the 1Z0-051 will likely be the standard SQL test for the 12C OCA/OCP track.
Is it recommended we give all the three exams (Associate, Master & Professional) ?That's not three exams but three certifications. The OCA track requires two exams. That aside, I would say that going to the OCP level is certainly recommended if you will be working as a DBA. Only a fairly small percentage of Oracle professionals go all the way to the Master level. Largely this is because of cost. Just the OCM portion (two required training classes plus the test) will approach $10,000. However, the rarity makes having the OCM more impressive.
What is the average time to get done with all the exams and final be certified ?There's no answer to this. I can't imagine any way that someone would collect the data to make a statistical analysis of this. Any such analysis would have to take into account how knowledgeable the people were going in (said 'knowledge' would also be difficult to convert to statistically meaningful data) and how much time they spent each day preparing.
This question is common enough that I wrote an article on the topic here:
How do we plan? Where do we start? any tips from the Pro's ?Start with the OE certification page: http://certification.oracle.com
It has all the information about the exams. Look through the exam topics and use them to plan your study process.
You might also find http://oraclecertificationprep.com useful. If you go to the 'Exam Info' page, you find all of the exams from the DBA track listed (and many others). Click in to the individual exams to find links to the relevant documentation, third party resources, and links to articles on Oracle Learning Library and other sites for topics related to the exam.

Comments about Ride Hammer Gloves:
These gloves fit well around the hands and fingers and are pretty warm for when I go snowboarding. I prefer velcro straps on the wrist (instead of the drawstring type) and these are implemented well. The blue marine color scheme is more like turquoise finger tips and dark blue-green. A little different from what the image shows.
One downside is that if it gets wet inside, they do seem to take longer to dry out than other gloves I've had in the past. For snowboarding multiple days in a row, a few minutes of using a blow dryer seems to do the trick.

Six celebrating Everton players stood in front of their 7,000 fans in Sunderland after their 2-0 FA Cup win on Tuesday night. Every time their arms went up, so did the level of noise. Tuesday night was a good night to be an Evertonian, but it did not quite feel as good a night to be the club's manager.
Not because there appeared too many flaws in the demolition of Sunderland at their own ground, although even then, their manager scoffed at words like perfect, principally because they had missed good chances and only scored twice.
Perhaps you had to see the intensity of Moyes to understand that he would not have gone within a million miles of those six players celebrating, because after 10 years, reaching a semi-final is nowhere near enough.
Moyes' team-sheet for the Merseyside derby on 13 March should have given warning to everyone in English football that his patience in waiting for a piece of silverware to push all those plaudits out of the way has reached breaking point. Then Moyes made six changes and significantly weakened his team, who capitulated fairly unimpressively. Losing a derby is never pleasant, but the taunting from Liverpool's supporters ("10 years, and you've won f*** all') seems to have poured paraffin on the smouldering coals deep inside this fiercely driven manager.
Moyes has 10 years worth of praise from everyone in the game. He has built and rebuilt and he has done it without much money and he has found jewels in the lower leagues and has polished them and installed his burning desire inside every single one of them.
That was what impressed so much on Tuesday night. Call it fear or call it respect but not one Everton player would have been in a hurry to walk back into the visiting dressing room after Lee Probert had blown the final whistle to face their manager as a loser. You cannot consider Moyes a loser, not after making Everton good again without the finance to push on for the top four, but in his focus comes the notion that he will never consider himself a winner until he walks up those steps at Wembley, for a final, with his side victorious.
Liverpool in the semi-final will not be intimated, certainly not for their second visit to Wembley inside two months, but they face a team that has a collective desire so strong it blew away Sunderland in a way not seen since Martin O'Neill installed a pretty similar set of ideals there to Moyes' upon his arrival in December.
When the six took their curtain-call, Moyes had long since disappeared down the tunnel, not for him celebrating quarter-final victories any more.
Perhaps the comparison at this point should be to his fellow countryman Colin Montgomerie, a golfer who could never push his first major over the line. These things can often be about timing, and Moyes, at 48, has never been more hungry.
Who knows who won the Merseyside derbies in 1995? Who cares? Everton won the Cup and Joe Royle helped create a moment every Evertonian will cherish to their dying day. History beckons if the current Everton manager can get two games right.
"This is all about us," said Tim Cahill, who was one of the celebrating six. "We are too experienced to start worrying what Liverpool are doing. Being an Everton player is something I relish.
"Everyone can put figures on the table, but our manager has got the best record in the world when it comes to spending money and what he does for the club. As players, we have to make sure that money is well spent."
Collective responsibility. It is Everton's strategy to win the FA Cup.

The Energy department has vowed to appoint the first chairman of the body dishing out subsidies for investment in renewable technology by next month.
Industry sources told The Independent that they were concerned that neither a chairman nor senior independent director had been appointed to lead a body that is vital to the biggest reform of the electricity market since privatisation.
The Contracts for Difference counterparty company will bridge the gap between the price that electricity generators expect to receive for low-carbon energy against the cost of developing the renewable technology needed to produce it.
The roles were advertised in October, but it has been speculated that there was a lack of interest – even though the chairman will be paid £120,000 for no more than two and a half days a week. The company becomes operational this summer.
An Energy department spokeswoman said: "We are hoping to appoint a chair in February. We are expecting adverts for senior roles to go out shortly and we expect all the roles to be filled prior to the launch later this year."

Our goal is to leverage an information fusion approach to integrate structured and unstructured information to generate a longitudinal health record (LHR) for accelerating the pace at which patients can be recruited into clinical trials. Because electronic health records (EHR) contain clinical summaries of a patient's clinical history, one would assume that they could be easily leveraged to automatically screen and identify potentially eligible patients. However most EHRs are not well designed to support screening of eligible patients and are composed of multiple data sources that are often redundant or inconsistent, stored in uncoordinated unstructured clinical narratives and structured data. These characteristics make EHRs difficult to use for matching patients against the complex event and temporal criteria of clinical trials protocols. This research proposes that an improved LHR, which contains a comprehensive clinical summary of a patient, can improve patient screening. We propose using a method of information fusion to generate this LHR, which merges information from multiple data sources, that addresses both the meaning and temporal nature of data, such that the resulting information is more accurate than would be possible if these sources were used individually.
The specific aims are to: 1) characterize the barriers of using EHR sources for screening in terms of data redundancy, inconsistency, lack of structure, and temporal imprecision;2) automatically extract information from unstructured EHR sources necessary for screening patients against clinical trials eligibility criteria using natural language processing;3) developan LHR appropriate for screening patients against eligibility criteria using information fusion methods based on semantic and temporal information;and 4) evaluate the accuracy of an LHR formed through information fusion for screening patients against clinical trials eligibility critera. The respective hypotheses to be tested are: 1) Different parts of the EHR will contain variable amounts of redundancy, inconsistency, and temporal imprecision. Some sources will be more valuable for matching patients than others to clinical trials eligibility criteria. 2) Including th information contained in the unstructured notes will reduce the false positive rate of identifying potentially eligible patients over leveraging only the structured data in the EHR. 3) By using information fusion methods based on leveraging semantic and temporal information on a combination of structured and unstructured data, we will be able to accurately summarize the information contained in uncoordinated EHR data sources into an LHR that can be used for screening patients for clinical trials. 4) The use of information fusion to generate a longitudinal health record will increase the sensitivity and specificity of electronic clinical trial screening ver using a traditional EHR. With an LHR formed through information fusion for screening patients for clinical trials eligibilit, we will be able to not only reduce the amount of staff effort required to recruit a patient into a clinical trial, but also accelerate the pace at which clinical trials can be conducted.
This project is focused on generating a longitudinal health record for accelerating the pace at which patients can be recruited into clinical trials. Accelerating the pace at which patients are recruited into clinical trials has the potential for improving the speed at which new treatments are made available to the public.

#SuzyNYFW Marchesa and DKNY: Feminine Meets Feisty
Two very different takes on the Nineties woman
Marchesa: Empowered Femininity
"Do you think women today should flaunt femininity?" I asked backstage after a cascade of lilac silk, golden lace and floral decoration, wrapped up with glittering jewellery, had walked the Marchesa runway.
"I hope so," chorused Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig."We think we need it even more – women don't see femininity as vulnerability," Georgina added.
That might well be true of the paintings of John Singer Sargent, the American-born artist whose powerful portraits of upper crust European society ladies had inspired the fashion show. It is harder to decide whether such an orgy of opulence, played out with light fingers and minds, is relevant for today.
But if you accept fashion as fantasy (and think of all those movie stars to dress for the current round of awards ceremonies), the Marchese show was simply lovely.
Honing their skills since their early days of puffy ball gowns, the shapes were slim, shadowing the body, but given an extra dimension with the surface interest of crusty Chantilly lace, organza flowers and lilac floral beading. Short, flared skirts were also included for the cocktail hour.What struck me, along with the delicate adornment, was the fact that I spotted only one bustier top in over 30 gowns. Even if there was a portrait neckline, long sleeves balanced the bared flesh.
To me, the red carpet has become increasingly vulgar since the start of the new millennium. This Marchese show proved that you can have your heart in an earlier period but make appealing dresses relevant to today.
DKNY: Is This What You Really, Really Want?
Designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne announced on their DKNY show notes that they were inspired by strong girl bands from the 1990s "who were able to show sexuality with a tomboy feel".
I was thinking Spice Girls, but the duo seemed to go beyond that all-girls-together moment to include "deconstruction, tailoring and pinstripes" in a playful way.The effect was aggressive, but that is not necessarily a bad idea for designers wanting to bring back the brand from Ms Average to something stronger.
There were plays on shape, mostly oversized, and on texture, with satin dresses or transparent mesh, bustier sweaters. Colours that stood out among the black with its different finishes and textures were purple, red and the punk plaid that Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood practically have preserved with fashion copyright.
It is difficult to see where the designers plan to move the brand; surely, beyond the Nineties into the current gender-neutral arena.
But as a woman, I have a nagging desire to see a translation of Donna Karan's female-friendly Seven Easy Pieces relevant to 2016 – and beyond.

As part of the afore-mentioned down time, I've also been spending some time messing around with Python on Symbian OS. I bought a Nokia E71 last year with the hope of writing some apps for it (well, that was the ostensible reason :) I finally got 'round to doing some hackery now.
One of the surprising things I've found is that lack of a stop-clock/timer by default on the Nokia phones. Or maybe, I never found it. In any case, I decided to code one myself in Python. Being a script junkie (Perl being my choice of poison), I'd always wanted to check out Python, and its functional programming features. I didn't get to use much of the functionality of the language, but it was a fun effort nonetheless.
You can get the app I created here. Dependencies include Python for S60 v.1.4.5, and an extension to it called Miso, which provides access to some of the underlying hardware - I used the phone vibrator in my code, as notifications. I've included the following files in the archive -
timer.0.2_v0_2_0.sis - The actual application. Bluetooth it to your phone, and install.
timer.py - the source, if you want to mock my coding :D
You will require a S60 Edition 3, feature pack 1, device at least to run the app.
What does the app do? Two things - a timer feature, where you can set the number of minutes you want it to count down, at the end of which, the app will buzz once. Second, a stop-clock type feature, where you set the total number of minutes to count up to, and every two minutes the app buzzes. The buzz-interval is currently hard-coded, though making that user configurable shouldn't be a big deal. You can also pause, resume and completely halt a running timer/stop-clock.
Let me know if it works for you, and of course, feel free to mess with the source.
Mobile app development - Quite fun actually. The Python API's are fairly extensive, from what I see, and one should be able to write some fun stuff for these devices. I'm not a software engineer, so I couldn't compare the effort involved to developing on other platforms. However, some general observations - Nokia needs to make getting information easier! There are at least 3 websites where one can get information on the Python for S60 implementation. Though, it seems that forum.nokia.com is the go-to place, this is not very obvious for first-timers. You can also check out this wiki. Documentation, too, is fairly extensive, but it was only after a fair amount of hunting that I found this. Finally, I use Emacs for my code development, but I'm sure that Eclipse would be better for programming larger projects.

They just don't paint them like they used to ..... but you just can't beat the look. Awesome x 1,000.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - PH troubles (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/ph-troubles-94782/)
PH troubles
I went out an splurged today, got a mini master test kit. No ammonia in either tank (thank you my jungles). But the PH is very low in my 10G. I tested the tap to compare, and it's about 6 straight from the tap.
I'm hoping someone can offer advice on how to deal with my low PH. I have to pick up a Kh/Gh kit, but last time I had that tested the levels were at 0. I have several snails, and I know the lower Ph is detrimental to them. I'd be happy to keep my Ph close to 7 in my 10 gal. Inhabitants in the 10, 2 male bettas (divided) 1 zebra nerite, 1 amano shrimp and several MTS.
Both tanks are heavily planted with silica sand substrate.
And my readings, in case they help
For my 10 Gal
Ph 5.5 NO3(Nitrate) 5 NO2 (Nitrite) 0 NH3 (Ammonia) 0
For my 33Gal
Ph 6.8 NO3(Nitrate) 5 NO2 (Nitrite) 0 NH3 (Ammonia) 0
I posted in the betta forums, but posted here in case anyone here can help. I would prefer more natural methods, I've got crushed coral, but I'm not sure exactly what to do with it.
Purchase a tester kit that can lower or heighten ph levels, thats what i used once
there are many ways to higher the water pH you can try bi carb soda in small amounts, there are gravel called calcium carbonite and there are rocks that can up the pH called calcium carbonite rocks they are white and red, when u touch it this powder feeling substance will come off the rock
Yea ive seen them they are pretty cool, there are also sands that boost ph
As I mentioned, my Kh/Gh readings were 0 last time I had them tested at the pet store, and I have very little to no buffering capacity (I can't remember if it means really hard or really soft water).
Pantyhose or other nylon to put some crushed coral I have in the filter is about the only thing I can think of. I'm wondering if my snails have been nibbling on the crushed coral I put in loose on the sand.
0 GH means you have no hardness at all, let alone soft or hard.
0 KH means you have no buffering capability.
The crushed coral should raise your hardness, have you tested your water since?
First, raising only the pH without raising hardness will not solve your initial issue. It is not the pH but the mineral in the water (or lack of) that is important for invertebrates. But you don't want to go overboard, as the Betta is a soft water fish that will be perfect just where the water is.
I would increase the GH and corresponding pH but not much. There are a couple ways of doing this. I have done a fair bit of experimenting in this area, since I too have near-zero GH and KH in my tap water. My fish, being soft water, are fine, but the plants lack calcium and magnesium.
Using calcareous substances such as dolomite and aragonite is the best natural way to deal with this. It doesn't take much. You can mix these in with the substrate but this can be difficult to ascertain the correct amount and once mixed in they are impossible to remove. Better choice is in a mesh bag in the filter, or hang it next to the filter return. You can buy gravels made from crushed coral and aragonite. This will add the hardness and raise the pH, but a lot. My 115g tank with a pH of 5.5 went up to 7.4 in a couple of days with just half a cup of aragonite in the filter.
Another method, also safe, is using Seachem's Equilibrium to raise the GH. The advantage of this is there is no effect on pH. It only adds pure calcium, magnesium, potassium, manganese and iron. One tablespoon in 20g will raise GH by 3 dGH when you start from near-zero. As I said, pH is not affected.
You can read more on the relationship between all this here:
I'm not sure what the levels are straight out of the tap. But in either tank it is reading 0.
My concern about adding things like crushed coral is that it will raise the ph, but it's not a permanent solution. I had it tested at the pet store, and it was a reading of 5.5
I added about 3 tsp of crushed coral into the 10 gal (just sprinkled it over the sand). A few days later had the water tested and it was about 6.5
Here it is a week and a half later and I tested the ph last night, back down to 5.5
It wouldn't surprise me if the readings were off straight from the tap. We have city water, but this is an old house (built about 1920).
I'll try the crushed coral, adding just a small bit into the filter tank, assuming I can ever get my hands on some nylons. I'll also look into the equilibrium. We have petsmart and they carry many seachem products.
I don't expect to get it a ph of 7.6 and keep it there, I'd be satisfied if it would stay near 7, just enough that it won't damage my snails shells any more than it probably already is. Does the equilibrium contain phosphates? I'm wondering about an algae bloom.
I'm not understanding the test pH going from 5.5 to 6.5 back to 5.5, this has not been my experience. I used dolomite for this years ago, and it was steady for more than 12 years before the dolomite (and it was about 3 tablespoons) gave out. And this was in a 115g tank full of fish and plants with pH 5 water doing 50% water changes weekly. My recent experiences with aragonite (I'm using CarribSea's crushed coral with aragonite gravel) are similar, about 2-3 tablespoons have kept the pH around 6.6 for the past 3 months. Something else may be affecting the water or the tests. Get yourself an API liquid pH test kit so you can do the tests yourself, it is much easier.
As for the tap water hardness, this will not alter significantly in the aquarium unless it is being targeted directly. Tap water of say 5 dGH will be that in the aquarium. Calcareous substances in the tank will raise this, and similarly organic substances will lower it somewhat. But aside from this, it stays. Finding out the tap water GH and KH (Alkalinity) fro the water supply people would be worth it. They may have a website.
I use crushed limestone- available from gardening stores. It doesn't raise the ph above 7.5 or so, so there's much less risk of overdose.
I add a tbsp at a time to the substrate. Give it an hour or two, measure, and repeat. Limestone isn't particularly soluble either, so it lasts a long time.

I haven't gotten the packages yet so there's still time for suggestions on how to run this.Either essays or the number method,but I'm open to all ideas. Many Thanks Gam (Gerry)

Native advertising, also known as branded or sponsored content, is advertising that mimics the look and feel of the editorial content surrounding it. Still in its early stages, branded content has proved successful for brands like Red Bull, Coca-Cola, and Facebook.
This change is just another example of how sophisticated ad content is becoming more closely aligned with the online news and information sources we consult every day. (It's also part and parcel with the use of online behavior advertising, which we've previously discussed.)
Even as advertising starts to look more like journalism, there's one thing that ads certainly share with news content: First Amendment protection.
It may surprise some people that advertisements enjoy free speech protection. But as my colleague Mike Nepple and I discussed in a recent article for the St. Louis Bar Journal, it makes perfect sense: "Advertisements are messages. They contain information. They communicate opportunities. They are a form of speech."
Our article, "Advertising Law: It's Not Your Father's First Amendment," covers the history of the constitutional commercial speech doctrine, its protections for even controversial products like alcohol and tobacco, and why First Amendment protections for advertising keeps getting stronger.
I encourage you to take a look at the article, but here are a few key takeaways. (Bonus points for anyone who can identify the famous ad slogans we borrowed for our sub-headlines.)

Fire Protection Fiberglass Sleeving - Chinaprice: contact company for price
generally used in industrial or aerospace applications.
Fiberglass acts as an insulator or barrier for constant temperatures up to 540ºC. Silicone is generally able to withstand temperatures up to about 260C degrees continuous. Silicone, however, has the added benefit of being able to withstand and repel much higher temperatures for short durations, including liquid molten metals.
Fire sleeve is used as a protective sleeve on industrial hoses, hydraulic hoses, cables, wires, etc.
Fire sleeve generally refers to two variations: An aerospace version is made with a braided fiberglass substrate and is commonly used in the aerospace industry. Its construction enables qualified hose assemblies to meet the SAE standards which have been established relative to the protection which this product provides.
An industrial version, constructed of a knitted fiberglass substrate is also available. Because it is less expensive it is more commonly used in hot industrial applications where this type of protection is needed. The industrial version will not meet the SAE standards.
Fiberglass sleeve—without the Silicone rubber coating—has a higher continuous temperature rating, up to 1000ºF or 540ºC and is available as a knitted or braided sleeve for protection of hoses and cables where molten splash protection or weld splatter protection is not required.
Fire sleeve is used for industry, aerospace, automotive, mining.

The son of American vaudeville entertainers, bespectacled American comedian Steve Allen led a peripatetic childhood, shunted off from one relative or boarding school to another. As a balm to his loneliness, Allen became a voracious reader, providing himself with a wide and varied intellectual base. Breaking into showbiz as a radio disc jockey, Allen soon learned that inserting humor here and there would draw a lot more attention than merely announcing the records and reading the stockyard reports. In order to supply himself with an endless stream of material, Allen memorized every joke book and "college humor" magazine that he could get his hands on; the result was his uncanny ability to conjure up precisely the right wisecrack at the right time. Developing a strong following while hosting a radio program on Los Angeles' KNX in 1948, Allen received his first network exposure in 1949, and was also featured in several films, including Down Memory Lane (1949) and I'll Get By (1950). In 1953, Allen was hired to host a local late-night program on New York's WNBC-TV, which later developed into the NBC network's Tonight Show. Extraordinarily busy during the years 1956 and 1957, Allen hosted Tonight, headlined his own hour-long weekend variety TV series, starred as the title character in The Benny Goodman Story (1956), composed several popular songs (his piano skills were shown to excellent advantage on his TV programs), and filled up his spare time by writing books, plays, and magazine articles. He left Tonight in 1957 and closed out his NBC weekender in 1960. One year later, he was back with a Wednesday-night hour on ABC, which had the misfortune of being scheduled opposite Wagon Train. In 1962, Allen launched a syndicated 90-minute "madness and music" nightly series, a fondly remembered effort which lasted until 1964; a second syndicated nightly followed in 1968.
During his heyday, Allen helped develop and nurture such talents as Tom Poston, Louis Nye, Don Knotts, Bill Dana, Gabe Dell, Tim Conway, Steve Lawrence, and Eydie Gorme. He kept busy in television throughout the 1970s and 1980s with such highly praised projects as PBS' Meeting of Minds, wherein Allen would host round-table discussions with actors posing as the great leaders and intellects of history. Long married to actress Jayne Meadows, Steve Allen showed no signs of slowing down in his early seventies (despite a well-publicized bout with cancer), as he continued to write books on a multitude of subjects, accept TV and movie guest-star appearances, make SRO personal appearances, and even occasionally return to his roots by hosting TV and radio talkfests.
