"I think that the community has spoken that they're ready for change and they're ready for a new day," said Palmeri, 51, who has served on the council for three years, including the past one as deputy mayor.
"The supporters and the voters spoke loud and clear."
Palmeri campaigned on improving transparency and accountability with all residents and businesses but especially those who represent diverse backgrounds and viewpoints.
"We're looking at including more voices and more faces at the decision-making table and including and welcoming more people into Oshkosh," she said.
Cummings, 74, has served on the council for nine years, including the past four as mayor.

“The investigators have identified a male suspect who set off an explosive device inside a metro train in Saint Petersburg,” Svetlana Petrenko, spokesperson of the Investigative Committee said in a statement.
According to the Investigative Committee, the same suspect planted a second IED at Ploshchad Vosstaniya station, which did not explode.
“Following a genetic examination and analysis of CCTV footages, the investigation assumes that this particular person who carried out the suicide attack also left a bag containing the explosive device at Ploshchad Vosstaniya,” the committee said.
Earlier in the day, Petrenko told Interfax that the Investigative Committee, assisted by the FSB and the Interior Ministry’s rapid response teams, conducted an examination of “fragmented remains” found inside the third car and were able to establish that the terrorist suspect was male.
“A blast assessment study, as well as a genetic examination, will follow,” she said.
The statement comes as the death toll continues to rise. Earlier on Tuesday, Russian Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said three more blast victims had succumbed to their injuries, increasing the number of fatalities from eleven to fourteen.
The bombing in Saint Petersburg was discussed at a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Kyrgyz counterpart, Erlan Abdyldaev.
“It is for certain, that we must intensify [counter-terrorism] activities, given the situation that is developing in many parts of the world,” Abdyldaev echoed, while lauding the close intelligence ties between Russia and post-Soviet countries.

A "Now Hiring" sign posted on a Verizon store in New York City's Manhattan.
An agreement between Verizon and unions potentially ending a nearly seven-week strike includes 1,400 new jobs and pay raises topping 10%, the company and unions representing about 40,000 workers said on Monday.
The deal, which one analyst called "very rich" for Verizon workers, could be a prelude to the company exiting the wireline telecommunications business, transforming into a wireless-internet business.
Verizon, the No. 1 US wireless provider, and the Communications Workers of America had reached a tentative deal on Friday. Details for the new four-year contract were disclosed Monday.
The CWA said Verizon agreed to provide a 10.9% raise over four years, while Verizon put the increase at 10.5%. According to the CWA, both numbers are correct, with the calculation done by the union including compounded interest that workers would receive as subsequent raises are determined from a new base salary.
"They needed to end the strike, and they bit the bullet," Roger Entner of Recon Analytics said. "In my opinion, it reinforced their commitment to basically exiting the least profitable, most problematic part of the business."
The new contract "gives Verizon four years basically to get rid of the unit," Entner said. "Let it be somebody else's problem," he continued.
Nearly 40,000 network technicians and customer-service representatives of the company's Fios internet, telephone, and television services units walked off the job on April 13.
Striking workers will be back on the job Wednesday, the CWA said.

The workers have been without a contract since the agreement expired in August, and healthcare coverage ran out at the end of April. Verizon workers went on strike for two weeks in 2011 after negotiations were deadlocked.
The latest work stoppage stretched across states including New York, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Verizon brought in thousands of temporary workers.
The New York-based Verizon will add 1,300 call-center jobs on the East Coast and 100 new network-technician jobs, Verizon spokesman Richard Young said.
It will withdraw proposed cuts to pensions as well as reductions in accident and disability benefits. The company, however, won cost savings through changes in healthcare plans and limits on postretirement health benefits.
If union members ratify the agreement, the new contract will run until August 2019.
Members of local unions will vote on the agreement by mail, at mass membership meetings, and at walk-in balloting meetings, and all results are due back to the CWA by June 17, according to Bob Master, assistant to the vice president at the CWA.
Master said, "We're pretty confident the members will be supportive of the agreement," citing the closeness between the leadership and its members.
Verizon worker Fitzgerald Boyce, 45, said he was likely to vote in favor.
"Of course I am extremely relieved that we have a good contract from what I am reading," said Boyce, a field technician who lives in Brooklyn, New York. "To be able to keep our benefits and actually increase the number of union jobs is a great thing."
Verizon and the two striking unions were in contract discussions with the help of the US Department of Labor. In mid-May, US Labor Secretary Thomas Perez brought the parties back to the negotiating table.
The strike, one of the largest in recent years in the US, drew support from Democratic US presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

Verizon has shifted its focus in recent years to mobile video and advertising while scaling back its Fios television and internet services. To tap new revenue, it is boosting its advertising-supported internet business and acquired AOL for $4.4 billion.
Verizon, which claims a high-quality cell network, is locked in a battle for subscribers with its competitors AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile in a saturated US wireless market.
Verizon's legacy wireline business generated about 29% of company revenue in 2015, down about 60% since 2000 and less than 7% of operating income.
Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam said last week that the strike could hurt second-quarter results.
Verizon shares closed up 1% at $50.62 on Friday and are up 9.5% for the year, near its 52-week high of $54.49. US markets were closed Monday for the US Memorial Day holiday.
NEYMAR is on the verge of signing a new six-year deal with Barcelona.
The Brazil superstar has been in talks with the Catalan giants for several months.
Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain had hoped to take advantage of any contractual problems to sign Neymar.
He said: "Manchester United is the side that offered €190m (£144m) for Neymar. He has still two years left on his contract but you all can be calm as my son is so happy here."
But according to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, their hopes will be dashed.
Neymar's new contract will extend his time at the club until 2022 and his release clause will be increased to £168.5million (220m euros).
It is claimed Neymar had always wanted to remain at the Nou Camp but the stumbling block was financial.
The new deal could be announced after the Copa del Rey final on Sunday against Europa League winners Sevilla.
How much memory is my system using?
From general questions to the harder advanced user topics you will find them here!
Re: How much memory is my system using?
Have you run MemTest on each stick yet? I had a very similar issue on my Rampage II Extreme where it reported 2Gb or 4Gb...sometimes 6GB after a hard reboot. I thought it was the board until I tried them in a different mobo. Ran MemTest and sure enough, one of my Dominator sticks were showing tons of errors.
Just set it up in another machine and so far they are showing up normally. I am going to run memtest overnight. Just need to finish the build first.
Bummer dude. The only good ting I can say is, at least it wasn't a sea of red like I saw on the test I ran.
Pakistani American and Winnetka, Illinois teenager Sonia Shah traveled and studied around the world with her mom, Iram. Sonia would see, up close, the despair and hopelessness some girls face in the developing world.
She started the Kulsoom Foundation for Girls to build a school for girls in Pakistan, because she wanted girls to have the future that her mother provided for her. But before the school was completed, Sonia tragically died in a 2012 auto accident at age 18.
Since then, Iram has carried on her daughter's work, renamed as the Sonia Shah Organization. Iram says that Sonia has more influenced her life in death than she ever did in life. We first spoke with Iram in 2013.
For today's Global Activism, she'll update us on the school and how it was rebuilt after a 2014 bombing.
Among the large-caps investors can focus on select stocks from sectors like banks, select pharmaceuticals, IT services, metals & mining, and oil & gas, said the report.
Market is expected to remain volatile in 2019 led by factors such as developed market slowdown, US-China trade fears, Brexit, domestic elections, movement in oil prices. Given that, it would be ideal to have a bottom-up approach, pick good quality, beaten-down stocks from respective sectors, Kotak Securities said in a ...
To weather the on-going volatility which may persist till the middle of CY19 (i.e. till general elections), it is ideal to have higher allocation into high earnings growth largecaps and in midcaps with strong management pedigree and reasonable valuations.
Among the largecaps, investors can focus on stocks from sectors like banks, pharma, IT services, metals & mining, and oil & gas, said the report.
Among midcaps, one can focus on stocks from sectors like capital goods, construction and auto ancillaries, it said.
Nifty's valuations look reasonable when viewed against recent historical valuations of ~18-20x on a forward PE basis. According to Bloomberg consensus estimates, one-year forward PE of Midcap Index has now come down to 15.2x and compared to 17x for Nifty50.
“We feel the froth and overvaluation in the Midcap space has come off sharply due to the underperformance vis-à-vis Nifty. We feel there is a very high probability of mid & smallcaps outperforming the largecaps in CY19,” added the report.
For this to fully materialize in CY19, we need earnings recovery and a clear mandate or a single party led coalition government at the Centre. The scope of valuation re-rating remains very high in a host of mid & smallcaps provided earnings stay in line with estimates.

"We expect HDFC Life to deliver overall VNB margin of 24-25%. HDFC Life will trade at 3.4X EV at our appraisal value-based price target," said the note.

Kotak Securities modeled order inflows over the next three years based on recent approvals worth ~Rs250 bn given by the Defence Acquisition Council in BEL’s core areas, but it expects 20 percent CAGR in indigenous defence production over FY2020E -30E led by higher budgetary allocation to defence capex and reduction in ...
Kotak Securities expects the domestic production of LPG to record a CAGR of 5.2% over the next 12 years to FY30 at 25 mmtpa, while demand is estimated to grow at 6.5 percent CAGR to 50 mmtpa.
This mathematics suggest that India would have to import 25 mmtpa of LPG by 2030 at an implied CAGR of 6.8 percent. The brokerage firm values Aegis using a DCF methodology, assuming a WACC of 11 percent and a terminal growth rate of 5 percent to FY30.
The CRAMS business is the bread earner for the company and has grown strongly over the last three years (CAGR 9 % FY15-18). This business has established a new base with the help of an increased number of projects in phase II and Phase I coupled with commercial/ pre-commercial supplies from FY14 onwards.
Kotal Securities likes Suven for its high margin profile (EBITDA margin of >30 percent and net margin of ~20 percent). After a soft FY19, Kotak expects earnings to grow by 25-30 percent in the next two years. The Company shows steady return ratios of 22-25 percent ROIC and 18 percent ROE.
Surya Roshni is India’s second largest player in the lighting industry with dominating presence in tier-ii/iii cities and rural areas.
Various welfare schemes, introduced by the Indian government and rural electrification drive could potentially benefit the company’s operations going ahead.
Kotak tends to believe that this will help Surya Roshni outpacing industry growth over the next few years.
As per management, though at the nascent stage, the company has been exploring the potential benefits/opportunities that can be achieved by the demerger of these two unrelated businesses.
“We believe that the corporate action would likely provide an enhanced focus on both the businesses and narrow the valuation gap of the B2C business vis-à-vis peer group,” said the report.
