KUA Adopts New Conservation Rate
8:00 pm ? At tonight's meeting of the Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) Board of Directors, the Board approved a new conservation incentive rate which is intended to reward those customers who practice energy conservation. The 5-0 approval vote came after a public hearing on the rate. ????The conservation rate adds financial incentive to those residential customers who use less power. Historically, KUA has charged a flat energy charge for each kilowatt-hour used by a customer, regardless of how much energy is used. Under the new rate, the energy charge will be lower ($0.06807 per kWh) if monthly consumption is less than or equal to 1,000 kWh and higher ($0.07601 per kWh) if consumption is greater than 1,000 kWh.
????For example, a customer using 900 kWh per month will realize a $5.33 or 7.4 percent savings under the new rate, while a customer using 1,100 kWh would see an increase of $2.18 or 2.5 percent. The monthly customer charge will remain the same for all residential customers....

Little did I know that this playwright, Maria Irene Fornes, is one of the most distinguished female playwrights in America...

Natural Home Remedies for Indigestion
The process of Digestion:
A clear understanding of the digestive processes that go on in the human body is vital to the understanding of the disorders from which digestion suffers. The major disorder is week digestion, dyspepsia or slackness of digestive processes, which are known, in indigenous medicine as being caused by what is called mandagni.
A three-fold process of digestion, absorption and assimilation accomplishes incorporation of food in human body. Digestion begins the moment food enters the mouth. It mixes with the saliva and is made more permeable for the gastric juice, which exudes from the openings of the tiny glands of the stomach.
The gastric juice consisting of pepsin and rennin breaks down the proteins into smaller molecules. The churning of the stomach mixes the food with the gastric juices and hydrochloric acid and when it becomes soluble it passes through the pylorus, an orifice at the lower end of the stomach, into the bowel....
