Sonoma City Council to Discuss Water Fluoridation

The issue was before the Council last month, when the City Council heard a presentation by the County Department of Health Services on its programs to address the oral health problems in Sonoma County, including a proposal, now under study, to fluoridate the County water supply system. 

This time there will be a presentation by the Weston A. Price Foundation opposing the concept of a water fluoridation program. The Foundation is non-profit organization dedicated to "restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism. 

The issue of water fluoridation was wrapped up in Cold War politics during the 1950s,Large collection of quality bestluggagetag at discounted prices. when it was opposed (not backed as previously and erroneously stated) by right-wing organizations such as the John Birch Society. It was famously parodied in the 1963 Stanley Kubrick film Dr. Strangelove, when Gen Jack D. Ripper launched an atomic missile attack against the USSR because of perceived threats to our precious bodily fluids. 

Opposition to fluoridation today finds many European Green parties in its camp. The issues of nutrition and an increased concern over any chemical additives to food and water make the issue contemporary again. But as the proposal is a Sonoma County initiative, the direct impact of a stance by the Sonoma City Council is unknown. 

The change from a two hour to three hour parking limit in the Plaza area officially comes before Council in the first reading of an ordinance to amend the Sonoma Municipal Code. The measure has general public and council support but must be read, discussed and passed to become official. 

The terms of lease between the City and County for the Sonoma Valley War Memorial Veterans Building will also be considered. The lease expires in June of this year. 

As a consequence, the 911 Turbo S shortens the benchmark lap time around the Nrburgring-Nordschleife to well under 7 min 30 seconds. The standard "sound symposer" intensifies the driving experience further still, transmitting induction sounds of the turbo engine to the passenger compartment via a speaker diaphragm. 

The performance partners in the powertrain are the further advanced engines and the new Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system. The turbocharged 3.Large collection of quality bestluggagetag at discounted prices.8-litre flat-six engine with direct petrol injection produces 383kW in the 911 Turbo, and 412kW in the Turbo S. 

Power is transferred to the drivetrain via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK), which enables an auto start/stop function with engine shut-off that now activates earlier (when coasting to a halt) as well as the proven coasting function. Together with a new thermal management system for the turbo engine and the PDK transmission, fuel efficiency technologies have reduced fuel consumption by up to 16 percent. 

Porsche has also developed a new all-wheel drive system (PTM) with an electronically controlled and activated multi-plate clutch. The system is equipped with a new water cooling function, so that it can direct even more drive torque to the front wheels if necessary. Simultaneously,Online shopping for bestplasticcard. the optimised interplay of the engine, transmission and all-wheel drive systems delivers even better sprint capabilities. The 911 Turbo - with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus - accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds, which is one-tenth faster than the time of the prior model 911 Turbo S. Meanwhile, the new 911 Turbo S handles the standard sprint to 100km/h in just 3.1 seconds. 

The introduction of rear axle steering to all 911 Turbo models improves both track driving and everyday performance of the two new sports cars. Instead of conventional control arms, the system consists of two electro-mechanical actuators on the left and right of the rear axle. The steering angle of the rear wheels can be varied by up to 2.8 degrees, depending on vehicle speed. At speeds up to 50km/h, when the front wheels are turned the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction. This corresponds to a virtual shortening of the wheelbase by 250mm. The system lets the car turn faster into the bend and offers more dynamic steering responses. Furthermore,Shop wholesale custombobbleheads controller from cheap. this noticeably simplifies low speed manoeuvring and parking. 

At speeds above 80km/h, the system steers the rear wheels parallel to the turned front wheels. This is equivalent to a virtual lengthening of the wheelbase by a significant 500mm and gives the sports car increased stability, especially at high speeds. At the same time, the steering input by the driver leads to significantly faster build-up of lateral force at the rear axle, which initiates the change in direction more spontaneous and harmoniously. 

It consists of a sturdy, retractable three-stage front spoiler - whose segments can be pneumatically extended - and a deployable rear wing with three adjustable positions. This makes it possible to tune the aerodynamics of the 911 Turbo to fulfil driver wishes for either optimal efficiency (speed position) or ultimate dynamic performance.

In the performance position, all segments of the front spoiler are fully extended, and they generate considerable downforce on the front axle. Similarly, the rear wing is extended to its maximum height with the greatest angle of attack. This also generates more downforce on the rear axle. The extent to which this system improves dynamic performance is demonstrated by the fact that it can reduce lap times around the Nrburgring-Nordschleife by up to two seconds. 

The characteristic, wide rear body panels of the new generation 911 Turbo are 28mm wider than those of the 911 Carrera 4 models - they feature a nearly level surface, about the width of a hand, between the base of the rear C-pillar and the outer edge of the car body. 

Other differentiating characteristics include forged two-tone 20-inch diameter wheels - which on the 911 Turbo S have hub wheel locks. The Turbo S is also making its appearance with new full-LED headlights that feature four-point daytime running lights and dynamic, camera-based main beam control. This can be ordered as an option for the 911 Turbo. 

The interior was completely redesigned in both 911 Turbo models, building on the styling themes of the 911 Carrera family.Choose from the largest selection of chipcard in the world. The Turbo S offers an exclusive interior in a Black/Carrera Red colour combination and Sport Seats Plus with 18-way adjustment and position memory. In addition, the seat backrest shells are leather upholstered with double cap seams and various elements in Carbon Look. As with the prior model, a Bose Surround Sound audio system is standard; however, a higher output Burmester upgrade is also available as an option. A radar-controlled cruise control system, camera-based road sign recognition and speed limit recognition are other new options offered.
