			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Got distracted searching for a good <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?category=metal-detector&#038;language=en-CA">metal detectors sale</a> and happened upon this tidbit of good news!</p>
<p>Treating municipal wastewater so that it can be reused for drinking water, irrigation, industry, and other applications could dramatically increase the nation&#8217;s total available water resources. This could be especially important in coastal areas that currently face water shortages.</p>
<p>Treated wastewater is called reclaimed water. Using this water to augment drinking water supplies should pose no significant health risks of exposure to chemical contaminants and disease-causing microbes from wastewater reuse. The levels do not exceed, and they may even be lower than existing water supplies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How&#8217;s this for a modern <a href="http://www.actconferencing.com/services/unified-communications/ACT-teem.aspx">unified communications platform</a>?</p>
<p>A group of European researchers have solved the issue of radio congestion by twisting radio waves into the shape of fusilli pasta. This ingenious design allows a potentially infinite number of channels to be broadcast and received at one time. The researchers have demonstrated this in real conditions by sending two twisted radio waves across the waters of Venice.</p>
<p>Their results have been reported in the New Journal of Physics. The results are accompanied by a video abstract that provides insight into the scientists&#8217; work.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our family loves music. We have many piano players, two flutists, two trumpeters, an accomplished drummer and a bass guitar player. As our kids grow, it&#8217;s always intriguing to see where their love of music will lead them. So far, we do not have any string musicians, but that doesn&#8217;t mean I can&#8217;t dream. When I was a child, I learned the violin so I would love it if one of my kids chose something like the <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/electric-cellos">electric cello</a>. I can almost hear the strumming now &#8212; what a beautiful sound that would add to our family band!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone with a business these days definitely needs to do some thinking about how to get your company&#8217;s name and products or services out there on the web. I know, it can be a confusing thing to make sense of all the different types of <a href="http://www.discountclick.com/">marketing services</a> available for Internet advertising. There are definitely many different ways to put your business on the web. </p>
<p>One of the first things you&#8217;ll need to figure out is what kind of services you need to promote your business. For example, are you catering to local traffic or can your customers be located virtually anywhere in the world? This will make a difference as you contemplate the many different <a href="http://www.discountclick.com/account/?_page=product_cat:t_1&#038;id=8">packages</a> available for website promotion. </p>
<p>Once you choose a package and get your website up and running, one of the next things you&#8217;ll need to consider is <a href="http://www.discountclick.com/seo_services.php">website rankings</a> and SEO. Obviously, how your website ranks for various keywords on search engines can make a big difference in how effective your website performs for your business. Assuming you&#8217;re spending a fair amount of money on all this, you&#8217;ll want to make sure you get enough bang for your buck.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Technology marches on. Nowadays we have tiny little <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&#038;catalog=Online&#038;category=Hard+Drives">portable hard drives</a> where once hard drives were so large and heavy that you couldn&#8217;t even lift them. </p>
<p>How about this&#8230;a touchscreen tablet Braille writer?</p>
<p>A modern Braille writer resembles a laptop with no monitor and an eight-key keyboard. Six keys create characters, one key is a return and the other is a delete key.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works. The user touches eight fingertips to the touchscreen and the keys move to the fingers. If the user becomes loses track of the keys, he only needs to lift all eight fingers off the touchscreen and then put them down again.</p>
<p>Touchscreen braille writers can accommodate users with small or large fingers. Users can even place the tablet around the neck and enter text with hands opposed.</p>
