Regional Water Authority - Keeping Our Water Safe

 

We have all heard about the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. Fortunately, we live in an area where the water is relatively uncontaminated. In our region in New Haven County, about 45 million gallons of water per day are used. The Regional Water Authority of South Central Connecticut is responsible for the cleanliness and safety of the water that comes out of the tap. How exactly does this happen?   This is your opportunity to learn how the process works.  

           

               The program is free and open to all.  It will be held on February 23 at 2 pm in the Program Room of the Milford Public Library located at 57 New Haven Avenue in Milford.

Discover the Hidden Uses of Your Cellphone

 

Ever wonder if your phone has any hidden abilities that might be useful? Sure, we use our phones to stay connected and to play games, but they’re also extremely powerful computers with immense sensing capabilities thanks to the very small, very cheap sensor technology at our disposal today. Much like the fabled tricorder from Star Trek, our phones are capable of some astounding sensing, computing, and recording tasks, like returning the solution to a calculus equation, or navigating a telephone call tree until a human gets on the line. Or how about real time language translation? That's straight out of Trek too, they called it the universal translator. From analyzing the ambient audio frequency spectrum to real time earthquake alerts and more, the phones in our pockets are much more powerful than most people realize. Join the discussion to discover what hidden powers lurk inside your smart phone.

            We’ll be meeting on February 28 at 11am at Milford Public Library, 57 New Haven Ave. in Milford.  All are welcome.
