BESCOM, BWSSB are now on Bharat BillPay- The New Indian Express | Borehole Hammer

A friend once introduced me to the Locust’s music by commenting, “I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to feel violated.” That sentiment carries over to thei band’s intense, chaotic live shows, the San Diego noisecore icons draped in strange outfits with bug-eye masks. It’s damn entertaining though, and the same can be said for their minute-long bursts of obnoxious energy, like “Listen, The Mighty Ear Is Here,” from their Anti- Records debut Plague Soundscapes, which is all too perfect a warning as far as album titles go. Constantly chasing an ever-changing time signature, it’s a frantic sprint that reconstructs the tropes of hardcore into a mutated, virulent form. When the band finds a hook, even if for a second, the Locust offer the suggestion that they could stretch “Listen” into something more accessible or anthemic, but it’s fleeting. Every false sense of security gives way to more shrieking, more scraping, more breakneck rhythmic fuckery. Violation confirmed.

Engineers and miners have worked for 10 days in a row but have run into various technical problems while drilling a shaft parallel to the well.

Not to be confused with singing synthesizers, Volcanoids is a survival and crafting sandbox in early access, and wait, no – where are you going? This one is different, I swear. Volcanoid Studio skip the boring ‘caveman’ parts and starts players out assembling a Jules Verne-esque tunnelling land-ship. Once your vessel is ship (and drill) shaped, you’re off to battle an army of magma-fuelled steampunk robots that are trying to defeat humanity by causing volcanic eruptions. It’s still early days yet for the game, but this initial release has me unusually excited. Check out the launch trailer below.

An immediate medical benefit is the greatly reduced risk of a urinary tract infection (UTI), which is higher in infancy than any other year of life, and 10 times greater if the infant male is uncircumcised [21–26]. UTIs are common in uncircumcised infant boys [22–26] and cause severe pain. UTI as a cause of a fever at this age is often undiagnosed [27, 28]. Bacteriuria in febrile boys presenting at hospital emergency departments occurs in 36% of uncircumcised boys, pointing to a UTI as the likely cause of fever, compared with only 1.6% of boys who are circumcised [29]. Antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria under the foreskin is a growing problem [30]. The younger the infant, the more likely and severe the UTI will be, and the greater the risk of sepsis and death [31]. In the still-growing pediatric kidney [26, 32] a UTI can result in permanent kidney damage in 34-86% of cases [33, 34], thus exposing the boy to serious, life-threatening conditions later in life [26], including end-stage renal disease in 10% of cases [35]. In men, risk of UTI is over 5-fold higher if they are uncircumcised [36]. Thus infant MC offers protection against UTI over the lifetime.

But with this new directive, alcohol brands have been squeezed tight with no medium to advertise themselves as they can’t use television, print, magazine, hoarding or radio. One might wonder what these brands will do next and how will they market themselves in a cluttered AlcoBev sector? Maybe that’s why AlcoBev brands are increasingly shifting their focus on digital advertising as there are no restrictions on the media so far. On digital, these brands can say the narrative they want to, the way they want to.

The leading engineer in Spain’s search for a two-year-old boy trapped in a deep, narrow borehole says rescuers are rushing to finish in days massive digging work that usually takes months.

Biographers note that about the time Sharp and Hughes were developing their bit, Hughes had a chance meeting in Louisiana with another inventor trying to improve drilling technology.

Children and families have been holding candlelight vigils across Spain in support of the missing boy.

When playing 3D films and games, the KDL-40W905A creates a real sense of depth thanks to the vibrant colours and high contrast in darker scenes. Live Colour works best here, as although it pushes the intensity too far for regular viewing, it gives 3D content a pleasant punch. Thankfully, the KDL-40W905A saves image quality settings by pre-set, rather than for the TV as a whole, letting you tweak for Blu-ray, games or broadcast TV without affecting the others.

The KDL-40W905A is every bit the flagship TV thanks to a comprehensive set of Smart TV features and ample connectivity. It has four HDMI ports with support for Audio Return Channel (ARC) and MHL. ARC is a great feature, as it means you can play your TV’s sound through a home cinema amplifier or surround sound system, while MHL lets you display your smartphone through your TV. It also has SCART and component video inputs, digital optical and 3.5mm audio outputs and three USB ports. You can use one of the USB ports to add an external hard disk so that you can record TV programmes, while the others let you play media files using the integrated media player. We were able to play almost all of our multimedia files, although native DivX videos weren’t recognised. With Ethernet and integrated Wi-Fi, you can also stream files from a DLNA-compatible media server like a PC or NAS device.

Support for this project originally came from MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), which in 2008 provided seed money and later a follow-up grant. Although Woskov continues to pursue ways his technology can advance geothermal energy research, his current support is from the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Science, through Impact Technologies LLC, which funds him to explore deep bore hole storage of radioactive and nuclear wastes. At 6 km deep, such bore holes would place waste much farther from the biosphere than is possible with near-earth depositories such as Yucca Mountain. The bottom 2 kilometers of the hole would hold waste, capped with a 2-km seal — which is currently considered the “weak link” in the process. Woskov is experimenting with melted basalt and the more viscous granite to learn how he can seal the holes with melted rock, which could provide the most secure entombment of the waste products.

A lack of rainfall in recent weeks has meant water will need to be taken from boreholes in west Cumbria to maintain supplies.
