Austin’s property taxes are rising. Your bill may not be.
Austin’s property tax rates are rising, but that does not necessarily mean every homeowner will pay more.
Home prices in Austin and Travis County continue to cool from their COVID-era peaks.The median taxable homestead value fell about 4.7% from last year, which could offset rate increases from several local taxing entities.
An Austin homeowner’s property tax bill typically goes to five different taxing entities: Austin ISD, the City of Austin, Travis County, Central Health and Austin Community College.
This fall, all but Austin ISD raised their property tax rates.

**Siberia Lab Scare: Mysterious Infection Death of Research Worker at Russian Anti-Plague Lab; Hundreds Quarantined — Is There a Risk of Pneumonic Plague Spreading?**
Moscow/Irkutsk: A mysterious infection linked to a high-security anti-plague laboratory in the Siberian city of Irkutsk has raised concerns among local authorities and health agencies. 28-year-old Daria Shipilova, who worked as a laboratory technician at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute, died in hospital after severe pneumonia.
Following the incident, fears have deepened about a possible pneumonic plague infection in the area, prompting authorities to immediately impose strict quarantine rules and monitoring protocols.
# What Happened in the Lab? Claim of a Broken Test Tube
According to Russian media and local reports, the incident is linked to alleged negligence or an accident during work in the lab:
\- **Information about sample breakage**: It is being reported that after being admitted to hospital, Shipilova told medical staff that a test tube filled with live bacteria accidentally broke while she was collecting samples in the lab.
\- **Hospital admission**: On 29 September, she was admitted to a hospital in Shelekhov with high fever and severe lung infection (severe pneumonia).
\- **Death on ventilator**: As her condition worsened, she was put on ventilator support, but she died during the night between 1 and 2 October.
# Nearly 200 People Quarantined, Alert in Three Hospitals
After the researcher’s death, local health authorities launched a broad prevention campaign to avoid any risk:
\- **Restrictions at Shelekhov hospital**: The hospital where the woman was treated temporarily halted admissions and discharges, and approximately 189 to 197 doctors, nurses, and other contacts were placed under quarantine and intensive medical surveillance.
\- **Negative reports**: Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev and health officials have clarified that all individuals under surveillance have been tested; their initial test results came back negative, and none showed any symptoms of illness.
\- Russia’s chief public health officer and head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, personally reviewed the situation from Moscow and assessed the preventive measures.
# Was It Plague? Contradictions in Statements
There have been differences in the statements of Russian officials regarding the actual cause of the infection:
\- **Governor’s statement**: The head of the neighbouring Republic of Buryatia, Alexey Tsydenov, initially said on social media that the woman’s death may have been due to plague, though he later amended the post to clarify that there is no plague outbreak in his region.
\- **Denial of infection**: Russia’s central health surveillance agency Rospotrebnadzor states that no evidence of any major accident involving pathogenic microorganisms was found within the institute.
\- **Possible theories**: Three different angles are being investigated regarding how the woman became infected — breakage of a test tube in the laboratory, infection during a field trip to Buryatia, or return from a recent foreign trip.
# How Dangerous Is Pneumonic Plague?
The incident is considered sensitive also because Shipilova worked at a plague research institute:
\- **Yersinia pestis**: Plague is mainly caused by the bacterium *Yersinia pestis*.
\- **Attack on the lungs**: Pneumonic plague is its most severe and deadly form, which directly affects the lungs. Unlike bubonic plague, pneumonic plague can spread from person to person through the air via respiratory droplets released by coughing or sneezing.
\- **Symptoms and treatment**: Main symptoms include high fever, weakness, headache, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and bloody cough. If the correct antibiotics are given within the first 24 hours, the patient’s life can be saved.
Russian investigative agencies are currently conducting technical and legal inquiries to determine violations of safety rules and the exact source of the infection.

3 engagementsGujarat ranks second in India for illegal prenatal sex determination with 28 cases registered over a 3-year period (Central Health Ministry data)
A recent Central Health Ministry report revealed that Gujarat recorded 28 cases of illegal prenatal sex determination over three years, putting it right behind Haryana (108 cases).
Even though technology like sonography is legally restricted from being used to reveal a fetus's gender under the PCPNDT Act, black-market clinics and unethical practitioners continue to exploit patriarchal son-preference mindsets for quick cash.
Interestingly, more than 15 states reported zero cases, which raises the question: Are those states actually clean, or are they just failing to catch violators?
Do you think stricter penalties and regular surprise audits on scanning centers are enough to curb this, or do we need a fundamental cultural shift?

30 engagementsI vibecoded a small app to keep my WHOOP data in Apple Health, now including RMSSD HRV (since iOS 27)
Hey everyone,
Today I noticed that the final release of iOS 27 includes a new “Recovery HRV” category in Apple Health, using RMSSD—the same HRV metric WHOOP uses. That gave me a reason to update a little personal app I’ve been using for the past few months, and I thought someone here might find it useful too.
Some background: I’ve used an Apple Watch since 2015, and my Apple Health history includes even older workouts from the Nike+ days 👴 . Over time, Apple Health has become the place where I keep my health and fitness history, and I’d like to keep that history as complete as possible.
These days, WHOOP is my main everyday health tracker. I still use my Apple Watch for running and other activities, but I don’t wear it throughout the day the way I used to. Even so, I still want Apple Health to remain my central health data hub, regardless of which device I’m wearing.
That’s why I originally vibecoded this super basic app. I wanted to bring WHOOP’s sleep stages and individual heart-rate readings throughout the day into Apple Health, rather than just having summary metrics or heart-rate data associated with specific activities. Keeping those readings in Apple Health helps fill some of the gaps left by no longer wearing my Apple Watch all day.
When I saw the new RMSSD HRV category in iOS 27, I added support for importing WHOOP’s HRV there too.
There’s an important distinction here: the HRV readings historically recorded by Apple Watch use SDNN, while WHOOP uses RMSSD. Apple Health stores these as separate data types. This won’t merge WHOOP’s HRV into your old Apple Watch HRV chart or create one directly comparable series across both devices. It does, however, give WHOOP’s RMSSD measurements a suitable place in Apple Health, which is useful to me.
The app is called **Health Data Bridge**, and I’ve shared the source here:
[https://github.com/xoselourido/health-data-bridge](https://github.com/xoselourido/health-data-bridge)
It currently supports:
* Importing WHOOP sleep stages.
* Importing individual heart-rate samples throughout the day.
* Importing WHOOP HRV into Apple Health’s RMSSD category on iOS 27.
* Importing historical data and syncing recent data, with checks intended to avoid duplicates.
It connects directly to WHOOP, stores credentials locally in the iOS Keychain, and doesn’t use a separate backend.
This is very much a hobby project. It’s working on my own iPhone and WHOOP account, but I haven’t tested it with a second account yet. You’ll need a Mac and Xcode to build it, set up your own Apple signing team and bundle identifier, and install it on your phone. For obvious reasons there will not be a TestFlight or anything similar, is just a self-compile project.
One current limitation is that the initial sync requires existing sleep and heart-rate samples that the app can read in Apple Health. If your Health database is empty, or those samples aren’t accessible, that initial check will stop the sync.
It also uses WHOOP’s private API, so it’s unofficial, isn’t affiliated with WHOOP, and could stop working if they change things.
I’m sharing it because it solves a small problem for me, and perhaps it will solve the same problem for someone else. If anyone wants to try it, improve it, or adapt it to their own needs, contributions and feedback are welcome. Please remove credentials and personal health information from any logs you share.
Also, a quick disclosure: AI helped translate and organise this post. English isn’t my first language, so I explained what I wanted to say in Spanish and used AI to help put it into English. The story, motivation, and opinions are mine.
Mods, if sharing a project like this—or an AI-assisted translation—isn’t appropriate here, please feel free to remove the post. I just thought it might be useful to someone else who wants to keep Apple Health as their main health archive while using WHOOP.
