1. Evidence Based Swiftlet Farming Workshop
Would you like to be in a business where you are helping to nation to conserve an endangered species?
The industry insiders have taken advantage of knowledge, earning top dollars by establishing their very own swiftlet farms to attract these birds, who in turn build valuable nests for them.
What is Evidence Based Swiftlet Farming ?
Evidence based swiftlet farming is an idea mooted by Prof Dr Christopher Lim. It is a continuation of idea from his first published swiftlet farming book in Malaysia.
ions from Swiftlet Farming : A Definitive Guide time when there was absolutely no information from internet or any other hard copy references regarding the structure or internal layout of the swiftlet farm in Malaysia. Public at that time were still thinking that farmers are a cruel lot of people as they deprive the birds of the nests. Some even thought that the red nests were caused by birds that have overworked. The book has categorically dispelled all the myth and the laid the foundation for farming in Malaysia.
A lot of the designs and gimmicks which are subsequently popularized and standardized in the farming world today originated from my book, e.g. the use of 6 inches groove corner boards, the use of specially formulated aroma and technique of using multiple bird audio to lure birds into the farm
Today there are 105,000 results when one typed in the key words
Why bad intentions? Well they are people out there who get jealous when other people apart from themselves became successful in farming. They are typically the narrow-minded people who consider those who wanted to take up farming as their competitors. Hence wrong advices are put in the internet to provide false directions.
Even when we filtered out those ideas that are strikingly wrong, we will be left with a lot more creative ideas from the internet. Some of the ideas worked but many others are just imaginative ideas which will never work. This is expected as to test out whether an idea in farming is workable or not, one will have to test out the idea repetitively over time and assess the effectiveness of the idea. Even if the idea work out the first time, then you may ask, ,
How does evidence base Swiftlet farming help?
It can help in hundreds of way, and I put those the more important ones here :
How does Dr Lim gather all the information needed?
Of course these are made possible through the constant observation and experiment of the speaker with his own farms. Remember he have built dog kennel, air well , dog kennel merge with air well , farm on river, solar powered farm, VIP farm, Happy family farms, aromatic farm etc. Not forgetting Dr Lim remains close contact with over thousand of his graduates and the constant feedback from them have further enhance the learning experience.
Incorporated into this popular seminar is the pioneer swiftlet farm designing and management seminar in the world - the brain child of Dr Christopher Lim ! This is only workshop by an indepedant swiftlet farming expert who has gone through the process of designing, building and managing successful farms. Hence he is able to give genuine and impartial advices.
In this seminar, the participants would be taught how to design and manage two different type of swiftlet farms, and the relevant issues, as shown below:
How to search for the best location for swiftlet farming
As a good and well laid out swiftlet farm design is the back bone of a successful farm, it is important that the participants are able to apply the all round knowledge learned in the book and seminar to design and manage their 5 STAR swiftlet farms. The ability to design a distinctive and attractive bird farms (in swiftlet's eye of course) is a knowldege that all farmers should have. The failure to do so is often one of the reasons of having a failed swiftlet farm.
During workshop, all aspects of 5 STAR swiftlet farm design and management will be shared by Dr. Lim, with the ultimate goal of producing First Class Farmers @ graduates. In doing so, all the graduates would be able to engage their own contractors to build their own ideal farms and save a lot of money (since they do not have to depend on others to build their farms).
No other seminar would have a syllabus as comprehensive as ours! Furthermore, this is the only workshop that has all the proven formulas to produce millionaire farmers. Even more exciting, none of Dr Christopher Lim's participants had ever failed in their swiftlet farming venture !
Due to the high demand nature of the seminar, do book your place early to avoid disappointment as Dr Christopher Lim has limited the size of the workshop to ensure maximum attention is given to each and every one of the participants.

TESTIMONIAL from Mr Chow (Perak)
Graduate of Swiftlet Farming Designing and Managment Workshop 08
After attending the seminar, I have many good ideas as to how to design and modify my shop lot into a swiftlet farm. My shop unit is situated at a town in Perak, which is not known for swiftlet farming at all.
Although I have my initial reservation about the suitability of the location, I started my journey into swiftlet farming by using the step by step guide laid out by Dr Christopher Lim, starting from using the swiftlets' locater music to ascertain the viability of my venture and ending with the modification of my farm to suit the taste of the swiftlets and the local authority.
Coupled with the unique audio and pheromones provided by Dr Lim, the swiftlets came and stayed inside my farm within the first day of grand opening. 2 weeks down the road, there are already clear sign of swiftlets ( 4 colonies ) making the farm their homes.
I cannot wait to harvest my nests in a few months time ………… ( see the picture below to believe )
Testimonial from Mr Ng
Managing Director of a plantation and construction company
Pahang, Malaysia
I never knew that one can build and design a swiftlet farm that easily!
My friends had many farms that were built by the so called swiftlet consultants that had failed miserably. And I am sure glad that I am not one of them as I cannot afford to loose my investment.
With the guidance of Dr. Lim, I have managed to build my first farm successfully and until todate, i own 5 highly successful swiftlet farms, of course the secret is that each of my farm has its own unique design and appealness. Apart from enjoying good amount of passive income, my business diversification into swiftlet farming activities is paying good dividents.

How does Dr Lim's seminar differ from others? Can I hear comments from his graduates?
Comment 1:
"Your workshop was full of knowledge and I admire your willingness to share your knowledge with others. This is my 3rd workshop and I must say this is a must attend workshop before taking a further venture into this field. My personal experience as follow:
1st workshop: Conducted in Sabah. Using translocation technique and also natural way in attracting Swiftlet into BH. Quantity of tweeter used for both external and internal sound are much lesser compared to west Malaysia. I have gained introductory knowledge about swiftlet farming from this seminar including understanding the natural habitat and characteristic of swiftlets.
2nd workshop: conducted in KL. Using technique like aromas hips of tweeters. General understanding about BH design, micro and macro habitat for swiftlet farming. Etc
BH visit was part of the program in both workshops, which was great as this provides us an opportunity to physically see and feel the BH both inside out. However the downside would be the information delivered during the seminar could only be at the introductory level only and the topics covered were not up to the satisfactory level. A few lecturers did the same topics over and over again and time was wasted. This was understandable as the time allocated for BH visit was quite substantial. So it was tight and hard to deliver all info's in one day.
After the two workshops I have those knowledge in bit and pieces (and still feel like missing something) and I know that I can't have the picture formed if I can't pull those jigsaw puzzles together. I felt like knowing something but at the same time knowing nothing.When I first came across your workshop and I noticed that it is a full day in class workshop. I knew that I must attend yours. The outcome was great as you delivered the fundamental knowledge about swiftlet farming in detail with great coverage. Now I have the picture form in my mind.
Thank you very much Dr. Chris. I will update you about my progress in this venture in the future. I will give your seminar 9.5/10."
Mr Eric Soh, Bagan Datoh, Perak
Comment 2 :
"First of all, i would like to say thank you for such a great class. Im very happy that i have joined the class and it is well invested! RM 880 compared to potential millions is truly worth it. I appreciate the education (with honesty) that you provided will give you more in the future. i believe in "the more we give, the more we receive", I cant wait for my friend to join your class, at the moment he is jealous of me (in a good way) because i have got the cert! lol. I will score your seminar 10/10 !
Mr Don Nazar, KL
Comment 3 :
" Excellent workshop ! Did not regret coming all the way from Australia to join your fantastic seminar. There are so many things I did not know although I own a farm in Indonesia for quite a no of years ! Score 10/10.
Mike and Roseta. Australia.
Comment 4 :
" Dear Dr Lim Thank you very much for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience. It was certainly eye-opening and comprehensive ! A big 10/10 from me.
Regards Hui Ping, Architect
Comment 5 :
" By simply following your simple instruction and plans, my farm in Menglembu have 3 nests after 3 months ; and more than 20 spots of droppings . I was told that this results are better than consultants. Thanks a millions ! "
Mr Yuen, Perak
Comment 6 :
" Thanks ! Thanks ! Thanks Master Sifu. My farm in Sibu have nests after 3 months in operation. This will not be possible if I have not joined your seminar. My next aim will be a stand alone bungalow farm. Hope to invite you to visit my farm soon. U will always be my Sifu"
Mr Raymond S, Sibu
Comment 7 :
" I am glad that I made the decision to become your graduates. I started my first farm in Endau Johor and the farm was so full of bird shits after 6 months in operation. Now every body wants to visit my farm and see for themselves what is a successful farm."
Cikgu Saadon, Endau
Comment 8 :
" It has been a year since I last emailed to you. I am glad to say that my stand alone farm is in the top 20 percent ! From my census, will be able to harvest a few kilograms . God Bless ! "
Mr Ding, Johor
Comment 9 :
" This is my third seminar that I have joined. Thank for the generosity in sharing all information that you know. I concurred with my friend (who highly recommended me to join) that your seminar gave the best and most comprehensive value. It is a shame that we do not have bird farm visit but this is well compensated by an interesting hand-on workshop. All angle of farming have been covered well. All my doubts that I have as a results of previous 2 seminars have been clarified well by your good self ( the other seminars are most interested in making money from us rather than from the birds !). Keep up the good work and you deserved at 200 percent scores from me .
Mr Mah, Selangor.
Comment 10 :
Thanks for your guidance and kindness in helping me to achieve my millionaire bird farm in a short span of 2.5 years. Your design, bird audio and pheromones ROCKS !
Mr Phuc Vic , Cambodia
2. Bird Nests Cleaning @ Processing Workshop :
Yes, you read it right !
We are going to reveal ALL the tactics and hidden secrets of bird nests processing, in which we have successfully mastered through many months of relentless research and innovation. Looking back, it is definitely a very steep and time consuming learning curve. Far too many people have known to try but failed miserably (hence why a proper processed nest can demand such a high price) because of lack of skills. In this workshop we will be imparting all the knowlegde and tips so that you will ever need so that can almost start your bird nest proccessing business almost the very next day at the comfort of your home !!
To make it even better, we have improvised and come out with even better chemical- and bleaching-agent-FREE nest proccessing method that would easily half the proccessing time. A shorter proccessing time would mean a cheaper labour force but faster revenue generation.
For the first time ever, we are going to have a LIVE workshop where we will demonstrate the fine technique of nest processing from the very beginning until the finished product. Of course, HANDS ON SESSIONS will be our main feature in our workshop. REMEMBER, the value of your nests will easily double or even triple once you venture into this downstream business, so our course fees is only a tiny fraction of what the participants could easily earned once they have mastered these skills. Furthermore, this will be a good way to reduce our dependancy of bird nests' middleman. This is especially relevant since the China government has scrapped the imported duties levied on nests exported from Malaysia. So practically every body has a chance to become a bird nests export merchant now and double up their incomes !
What you will learn from this workshop :
How to choose and differentiate different grades of bird nest ? How to clean bird nest via the FASTEST and CHEMICAL FREE method ? How to UPDRADE nest from B or C to A class Nest (Dr Lim's Secret Receipe) ? What is optimum bird nest drying time ? How to mould bird nests back into A Class half-saucer shape ? How to make A Class bird-nest-biscuit ? How to minimize wastage during processing ? The Do's and Don'ts in bird nest proccessing. How to improve the aesthetic apperance of the bird nest ? What are the TEN must have tools/equipments ? How to set up a DIY bird nest proccessing facility at home ?

Kuhn RC 295 Trailer
Superior Feed Movement
The reel thoroughly mixes rations gently without causing excessive damage to the feed ingredients, preserving precious nutritional value for your herd. The large reel gently lifts material up into the side augers for excellent side-to-side movement. The upper auger moves material rearward, while the lower auger moves material forward for end-to-end mixing. This helps feed continually charge the door during discharge.
Low Fuel Consumption
Quality performance, with the lowest possible input costs is the goal of every operation. The fast, gentle mixing of KUHN Knight reel mixers helps maximize efficiency and minimize expense. The reel and auger design eliminates much of the force and pressure seen with other mixer types, resulting in low horsepower requirements and, correspondingly, less fuel consumption for economical operation.
Consistent Mixing and Discharge
KUHN Knight reel mixers provide a consistent mix, even with small batches, for a balanced ration from beginning to end. Their quick, even discharge with a more complete cleanout helps save time and maximizes efficiency.
Simple Feeding
With a high discharge point, these mixers allow for the use of a simple slide tray in most feeding situations. The long tray makes it easy to feed deeper into most bunks while preventing feed loss from the wind. This dependable, low-cost option also results in less maintenance.
The Unique Helix® Reel
The Helix reel has a robust build and has been thoroughly tested to withstand the most challenging conditions. The design of the reel crossbars evens the pressure across the length of the reel for smoother operation. It also engages with the feed more smoothly.
The open-center design eliminates obstructions in the reel and provides superior feed movement and unparalleled mixing action. The benefits are unmistakable, with faster, more consistent mixing, improved load leveling, optimized mixer space utilization and fewer dead spots for the ultimate in ration quality.
A mix bar runs diagonally across the center of the reel to help ensure consistent feed movement throughout the entire mixing chamber. The reel crossbars keep feed moving efficiently around the outside of the chamber. The secondary mechanical mixing action from the mix bar provides a fast and thorough mix even in wet, heavy rations with large amounts of distillers grains.
Heavy-Duty Drive
The reliable heavy-duty roller chain drive runs in oil and has spring tensioned poly idlers for long life. A single-handled latch provides easy access to the oil bath and secure closure to protect the drive system. An improved lip seal keeps oil in, and dirt and debris out to help minimize wear on drive components. Splined drive shafts allow a strong, reliable torque transfer and provide easier sprocket alignment and maintenance.
The heavy-duty drive, standard on RC 270 and RC 295 models, provides heavier chains throughout and a larger diameter countershaft and bearings for added strength and extended life in the toughest mixing conditions and heaviest use cycles. Optional on RC 250 and 260 models.
Rugged Undercarriage
Straight-single and walking-tandem bogie axle options are available for trailer models, providing flexibility for varied terrain. Both feature heavy-duty spindles and hubs for maximum durability and long life.
Reinforced Discharge Door and Linkage
The discharge door and linkage have been reinforced to provide reliable service and long life. The slide tray linkage has also been relocated and improved. This change provides increased adjustability to adapt to different feeding situations and eliminates the possibility of the tray extending over center when opened.
Auger Options to Meet Your Ration's Needs
The grain-auger option provides gentle handling of more delicate feeds like flaked corn to maintain ration quality and prevent fines.
The roughage-auger option features notched, sectional flighting with welded-in, self-sharpening, hardened knives for better hay handling.
With the optional Roughage Maxx® system, scalloped knives are added to the lower augers to maximize hay processing. . The knives provide a more consistent particle length and more even blending. The result is a more uniform and palatable ration with reduced sorting for improved feed efficiency.
Multiple Discharge Options
To best suit your feeding needs, you can choose from a slide tray, chain and slat conveyor, 3-auger discharge or a 4-auger discharge to be equipped on your RC 200 Series mixer.
Slide Tray
The high discharge point of the Reel mixers allows use of the simple, dependable, low-cost slide tray in most applications. It has simple hydraulic controls and the long discharge tray reaches deeper into bunks to prevent feed loss from the wind. Magnets are standard on slide tray.
Chain and Slat Conveyor
Rugged chain and slat conveyor options provide the ultimate in durability and long life. Heavy-duty components ensure reliable service and multiple conveyor length options offer unmatched flexibility to match different feeding situations. Available on all models except RC 295.
3-Auger Discharge
The 3-auger discharge allows adjustment for feeding into higher bunks. It has a simple, hydraulic drive that provides smooth, even discharge. Long lasting, poly chute liners help prevent rust and limit wear. The 3-auger discharge comes standard with fixed tip-off and built-in magnets.
4-Auger Discharge
Center-rotating augers bring the feed to the center of the discharge to increase overall capacity and provide a smooth, even discharge for all ration types. The 4-auger discharge comes standard with power tip-off and built-in magnets. RC 250, 260 & 270 models only.
The discharge augers are simple to remove for easy service. Long-lasting, replaceable polyethylene chute liners prevent rust and limit wear.
As with the main auger drive, the discharge auger shafts are splined for a more positive power transfer and longer service life. The simplified drive design, featuring only two chains and a remote grease bank, results in in easy service and maintenance.
Trailer, Truck & Stationary Models
To suit your operation's needs, KUHN Knight RC 200 Series mixers are available in trailer, truck-mounted or stationary configurations.
Trailer models are the most popular configuration as they are the most economical and versatile. Being detachable allows the tractor to be used elsewhere on the farm when not in use for feeding.
Truck-mounted models are a suitable option for those that have to feed cows at several different locations, with large travel distances. This option allows a feeder to quickly get from the mixing location to the feed bunk and back again.
Whether mixing wood chips or a ration for your livestock, KUHN Knight RC 200 Series stationary mixers are ideal for maximizing feeding efficiency and mixer throughput on any operation. Stationary mixers are perfect for producers with centralized feed storage and multiple mixers running throughout the day. By incorporating centralized mixing, one loader operator is often able to keep multiple mixers constantly running, greatly increasing mixing capacity and reducing labor. Also, with the addition of delivery boxes, the mixers do not experience the downtime from driving location to location, and in turn do not receive the additional stress which can be seen from constant travel.

Research will focus on cancer and viral disease targets not addressable using antibody-based technologies.
Immunocore, which has developed biological drugs based on T-cell receptor (TCR) technology, has entered into a research collaboration and licensing agreement with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for multiple novel targets not addressable using antibody-based technologies, Immunocore announced in a press release today.
Under the agreement, Immunocore will be responsible for all of the preclinical development and for initial clinical trials, and GSK will be responsible for remaining development and commercialization. Immunocore will receive up to £142 million (US$212 million) in preclinical milestone payments across the targets. In addition, for each product that reaches the market, up to £200 million (US$298 million) is due to Immunocore in development and commercial milestone payments, plus up to double-digit royalties.
Immunocore's ImmTACs (Immune mobilising mTCR Against Cancer) use TCRs to recognize intracellular changes that occur during cancer or viral infection. This unique recognition ability of TCRs sets them apart from traditional antibody-based therapies that can only recognize changes on the surface of cells, and provides the ability to develop extremely potent, targeted therapies for cancers that are currently poorly served.
Immunocore has completed development of the ImmTAC technology, including the generation of a GMP-compliant, fully scalable manufacturing route. The company has also established regulatory pathways approved by FDA and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) that will form the basis of all future ImmTAC programs. The most advanced ImmTAC drug, IMCgp100 for the treatment of melanoma, is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials in the United Kingdom and United States.

edit- Jordan:: Truth is, I don't care if I die, that's my whole problem, that's what the shrinks told me when I was fifteen.
- Garret: [giving a speech to college students] You want my career advice? Because here it is: Don't follow your father's footsteps, don't follow in anybody's footsteps. Don't become a doctor just because your mother wants you to be a doctor or because your father never once said he loved you in your whole lousy life. I don't care. Take that and go do something noble. Go be an artist…be a poet. Do you understand the courage it takes to become a poet? Find something beautiful in life even if it's just for a moment. Something that tells you you're alive. And it's gonna be okay. Anyone have any questions about that?...Don't forget what I said.
- Max:: Jordan, you can't go through life poking everyone but God in the eye!
- Garret:: Five jobs in four years, that's impressive.
- Jordan:: You know me, short attention span.
- Jordan:: I had this guy's brain in my hand, so I couldn't very well punch him, right?
The Dawn of a New Day [1.2]
edit- Max:: Thirty-eight years on the force I learned one thing, it's easy to kill someone, it's hard to live with it.
- Jordan:: I wanna find out what my corpse's license plate was doing on your corpse's ass.
- Garret:: That means you're a pain in the ass. And I say that with love. The good news is it's not too late to change. You don't have to be an obnoxious driven zealot your whole life.
- Jordan: Again said with love right?
The Ties That Bind [1.3]
edit- Earl:: They were sinning, Father, in GOD's house, but I didn't kill her, I saved her. I held her heart in my hand, and she was redeemed. She's with GOD now.
- Trey:: Wanna go grab some coffee? It's not like shes going anywhere.
- Jordan:: Is that supposed to be funny?
- Trey:: Nah, I'm just saying.
- Jordan:: Look, this might be some kind of joke to you, but someone butchered her. She could be somebody's daughter, somebody's mother.
- Jordan:: Still pissed about the DNA kits.
- Garret:: No, no you got lucky. You're buried deep in the rubble of the earthquake of my day.

You keep harassing Miss Lebowski and I will make your life here a living hell.

Buying a new car or a used car need not give you headaches anymore. Getting auto loans has become easy; you can now choose from online auto loan lending networks or get an auto loan from your car dealer. And there are many auto loan options available to choose from.
The competition to provide auto loans has boiled down to better, and faster, deals for car loan borrowers. So if you apply for an auto loan today you can probably drive home in your dream machine by the evening!
Choosing the correct auto loan requires some homework on your part – you should be willing to do some research. Not that it is difficult; you can easily do it on the Internet.
First and foremost, you need to evaluate your credit status. You need to ascertain how much of a car loan you can afford. This is important before deciding on to the car to buy. Auto loans require monthly payments, so it should be an amount that fits into your monthly budget. Many auto loan sites have auto loan calculators which can give an idea as to how much your auto loan is going to cost you each month. Once you have worked this out, you can get ready to apply for your auto loan.
Again, the Internet is a great help here. There are thousands of auto loan sites where you can apply for an auto loan online. Completing those forms is usually a breeze: just fill in a few fields and click on the 'Submit' button!
Generally the online lenders offer interest rates 1-2 per cent lower than that offered by the auto dealers. That money saved can be used to bear the other costs associated with buying your car.
Online auto loan forms ask for your basic banking details, your job status, and residence proof. Online applications are processed immediately by lenders in the network near to your place of residence. Approvals usually take less than an hour, and more important, on most sites this is a free service. Better still, an approval does not put any obligations on you about taking a loan from that lender.
If you have a clean credit status and a co-signer, then consider your loan semi-approved! The good thing about auto loans is that you can get one even if you have a less than perfect credit history. Most auto loan lenders offer bad credit auto loans. However, some lenders may charge you higher interest rates and a larger down payment because of your bad credit status. Some lenders also restrict the choice of cars models if you have a bad credit status.
Once the loan is approved, you will get loan offers from the lenders and you can choose the loan that you want.
The main criteria for choosing an auto loan should be the rate of interest and the loan period. The loan period for an auto loan is usually three to five years. You can ask for a longer period on your auto loan, say, seven years. But it is always better to repay the loan within a shorter period; that will put a lower interest burden on you. You must also find out from the lender if they allow faster repayment of auto loans without penalty charges. If they do, you can opt to repay the loans faster a few months later (depending on your income) and save on the loan charges.
Auto loans are available for new and used cars. Usually, the loan charges on used car loans are higher than that for new car loans. Research the various auto loan options available and always read the fine print of the loan agreement before you decide on your auto loan.

Dear Visitors,
I've covered quite a number of songs on my YouTube and I find it a little messy for you guys to look for your favorite pieces that I've covered. Moreover, I've received lots of requests on songs which I've already covered. Therefore, I've taken some time off to make shortcut, direct links sorted by genre, demographics, popularity, and partially alphabetical all in this Blog for your convenience. This Blog is called Redefining Piano.
The idea is simple. Most musicians play classical stuffs on piano, and mostly with notes. I play anything I like, anything you request, just simply, anything, including noise. The Piano, if you believe it, will play virtually anything. It is all in your imagination.
I will also continue to add really interesting articles and songs here and you may subscribe to it as a Google User or Blogger for fast updates or just to support me. Also, kindly let me know if there are anything else you wish that I can put here. You may contact me via my Official Website.
Please visit my Official Website to Download Mp3 of your favorite covers!

Sinusitis is a fairly common condition. It can develop following a cold, upper respiratory infection, or allergic reaction. Environmental irritants, certain medical conditions, and structural abnormalities can contribute to sinusitis.
Sinusitis causes pressure and pain in the head and face. It can also cause nasal congestion, coughing, fever, and a sore throat. Symptoms may be relieved with over-the-counter medications. Antibiotics can treat specific types of infection. Treatment for contributing medical conditions or surgery may help recurrent or chronic sinusitis.
You may be able to prevent sinusitis by avoiding irritants and allergens. You should wash your hands frequently to prevent colds. It is advantageous to not smoke or be around smoke. You should not snort illegal drugs. If you experience recurrent sinusitis, it may be helpful to be evaluated for allergies.Am I at Risk
Risk factors may increase your likelihood of developing sinusitis, although some people that develop the condition do not have any risk factors. You should tell your doctor about your risk factors and discuss your concerns.
Risk factors for sinusitis:
_____ A cold, upper respiratory infection, or allergic reaction.
_____ Weakened immune systems from chemotherapy, HIV, or AIDS
_____ Asthma, allergies, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
_____ Cystic fibrosis, immotile cilia syndrome, and Kartagener's syndrome
_____ A deviated septum, nasal bone spur, nasal polyp, or a foreign body in the nose
_____ Snorting illegal drugs, such as cocaine
_____ Changes in altitude from flying or scuba diving
_____ Overuse of over-the-counter nasal decongestants
_____ Hormonal changes during pregnancy
_____ Air pollution and smoke
Sinusitis can recur or become chronic. You should receive treatment for underlying medical conditions that cause sinusitis. In some cases, surgery may be used to correct a deviated septum, remove nasal polyps, or clean and drain the sinuses.

Diabetes mellitus, commonly shortened to diabetes, is a disease that threatens both humans and pets. Paralleling the situation in humans, more and more cats and dogs are being diagnosed with diabetes than ever before.
There are 2 types of diabetes mellitus in pets, insulin-dependent diabetes, where the body is unable to produce insulin, and insulin-resistant diabetes, where the body is less responsive to the effects of insulin. Regardless of the cause, both forms of diabetes result in chronically elevated levels of sugar in the blood.
The classic symptoms of diabetes mellitus in pets include increased thirst, increased urination, and increased appetite. In addition, pets with diabetes may become lethargic, lose weight, or
have a dull haircoat. Sometimes, the first sign that a dog has developed diabetes is the appearance of cataracts. Cats with diabetes may develop 'dropped hocks', a weakness of their muscles that causes them to walk on their hocks (heels) instead of their toes.
This disease is influenced by genetics and environmental factors. Although certain breeds of dogs appear to have a higher risk of developing this disease, other factors such as age and obesity play important roles in the development of diabetes in our pets. Diabetes tends to be a disease of middle-aged to older animals. But of all the risk factors, obesity is the most alarming one, since it is now estimated that almost half of all dogs and close to sixty percent of all cats in Canada and the U.S. are overweight.
If your pet is diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, you may initially feel overwhelmed – but this disease is manageable with the right combination of medications, weight loss and proper nutrition. Insulin injections remain the main type of treatment used to manage diabetic animals.
However, weight loss and proper nutrition are just as important when it comes to managing the diabetic animal. For both dogs and cats, weight loss is important because obesity is a common cause of insulin resistance, and fatty tissue releases factors that impair the effects of insulin, thus making it more difficult to regulate the disease. Weight loss can be accomplished by changing your pet's diet combined with increasing the amount of exercise your pet gets.
Proper nutrition is vital for the control of diabetes, and nutritional recommendations for dogs are very different than those for cats. Dogs with uncomplicated diabetes respond well to a diet that is high-fibre, high-carbohydrate, and low-fat. Cats with uncomplicated diabetes respond much better to a diet that is high-protein and low-carbohydrate; indeed, recent nutritional studies show that switching to a low-carbohydrate and high-protein canned food may be the most effective dietary routine for many diabetic cats.
These nutritional differences likely are related to the fact that dogs are omnivores, capable of eating a varied diet of meats, grains, and plants, while cats are obligate carnivores, meaning that they must get much of their nutritional requirements from meat proteins.
For more detailed information about diabetes in dogs and cats, check our website for relevant handouts or contact our clinic so that staff can provide you with handouts or personalized information.
Remember, when it comes to diabetes mellitus and your pet, an ounce of prevention by avoiding obesity is definitely worth the pound of cure that would be necessary to treat an animal with diabetes!

Government to sign up to 10:10 climate change campaign — rejected — 21 Oct 2009 at 18:53
MP, did not vote.
The majority of MPs voted against the motion, which read:[1]
- This House
- believes that it is vital that the UK demonstrates political leadership at all levels in response to the climate crisis, and that this is particularly important ahead of the United Nations Climate Change summit in Copenhagen if there is to be an international agreement which will avert the worst effects of catastrophic climate change;
- further believes that immediate practical responses to the crisis should include a massive expansion of renewable energy and energy efficiency and a commitment for all homes in Britain to be warm homes within 10 years;
- acknowledges that action taken now to tackle the climate crisis will cost less than action taken in the future;
- notes the declared support of Labour and Conservative frontbenchers to the objective of the 10:10 campaign which calls for 10% greenhouse gas emission reductions by the end of 2010;
- agrees that the House will sign up to the 10:10 campaign;
- calls on Her Majesty's Government and all public sector bodies now to make it their policy to achieve a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the end of 2010; and
- further calls on the Government to bring a delivery plan before this House by the end of 2009 on how these objectives will be achieved.
In its place an alternative motion was proposed that only "welcomed" the Government's actions:[2]
- This House
- welcomes the 10:10 campaign as a motivator of public action to cut carbon dioxide emissions through individual and collective behaviour change;
- recognises the value of such campaigns to build public support for action by governments to agree an ambitious, effective and fair deal at Copenhagen;
- further recognises the significant effort made by individuals and organisations to cut their emissions through the 10:10 campaign;
- supports the Climate Change Act 2008 introduced by this Government,[3] the first such legislation in the world, and the system of carbon budgets that enables Britain to set itself on a low carbon pathway;
- notes that carbon budgets ensure active policies by Whitehall departments and the public sector that deliver long-term sustained emissions reductions not just in 2010 but through to 2022 and beyond;
- further supports the efforts of local councils to move towards local carbon budgets by signing up to the 10:10 campaign;
- further welcomes the allocation of up to £20 million for central Government departments to enable them to reduce further and faster carbon dioxide emissions from their operations, estate and transport; and
- further welcomes the cross-cutting Public Value Programme review of the low carbon potential of the public sector, which will focus on how the sector can achieve transformational financial savings through value-for-money carbon reductions.
which passed without a further vote.
This vote was lost in spite of the fact that most of the front bench MPs have personally signed up to the campaign through public pressure.[4]

Tropical cyclone "maximum intensity" is shifting toward poles
Over the past 30 years, the location where tropical cyclones reach maximum intensity has been shifting toward the poles in both the northern and southern hemispheres at a rate of about 35 miles, or one-half a degree of latitude, per decade according to a new study, "The Poleward Migration of the Location of Tropical Cyclone Maximum Intensity," published tomorrow in Nature.
As tropical cyclones move into higher latitudes, some regions closer to the equator may experience reduced risk, while coastal populations and infrastructure poleward of the tropics may experience increased risk. With their devastating winds and flooding, tropical cyclones can especially endanger coastal cities not adequately prepared for them. Additionally, regions in the tropics that depend on cyclones' rainfall to help replenish water resources may be at risk for lower water availability as the storms migrate away from them.
The amount of poleward migration varies by region. The greatest migration is found in the northern and southern Pacific and South Indian Oceans, but there is no evidence that the peak intensity of Atlantic hurricanes has migrated poleward in the past 30 years.
By using the locations where tropical cyclones reach their maximum intensity, the scientists have high confidence in their results.
"Historical intensity estimates can be very inconsistent over time, but the location where a tropical cyclone reaches its maximum intensity is a more reliable value and less likely to be influenced by data discrepancies or uncertainties," said Jim Kossin, the paper's lead author, who is a scientist with NOAA's National Climatic Data Center currently stationed at the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Consistent with this poleward shift, many other studies are showing an expansion of the tropics over the same period since 1980.
"The rate at which tropical cyclones are moving toward the poles is consistent with the observed rates of tropical expansion," explains Kossin. "The expansion of the tropics appears to be influencing the environmental factors that control tropical cyclone formation and intensification, which is apparently driving their migration toward the poles."
The expansion of the tropics has been observed independently from the poleward migration of tropical cyclones, but both phenomena show similar variability and trends, strengthening the idea that the two phenomena are linked. Scientists have attributed the expansion of the tropics in part to human-caused increases of greenhouse gases, stratospheric ozone depletion, and increases in atmospheric pollution.
However, determining whether the poleward shift of tropical cyclone maximum intensity can be linked to human activity will require more and longer-term investigations.
"Now that we see this clear trend, it is crucial that we understand what has caused it - so we can understand what is likely to occur in the years and decades to come," says Gabriel Vecchi, scientist at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and coauthor of the study.

List of Summer Activities Complete!Yesterday was truly a glorious day! Sat in my yard most of the day soaking up rays and managed to turn from milky white to a slight golden. My family always called me "mozzarella" because I never get much color. Can't sit long enough in the sun. But, sitting outside with my laptop, writing all my travel blogs, has changed that! I may actually look alive this summer! I mentioned in yesterday's Daily that I wanted to put a list of sites and activities for this summer during the months of June and July, to do locally. Considering we will be gone most of August in Italy, I thought I would take advantage of all the rich culture, history and fun that Long Island has to offer. Living here, I sometimes forget all the "tourist" stuff that exists right in my own backyard. I will formulate all of my Long Island Summer adventures into a number of articles for your reading pleasure, throughout the summer. So here is my intended list of places and events: These are already scheduled with specific dates: Weekend of June 13th: * Big Apple Circus (Queens, NY) Weekend of June 20th: * See Jersey Boys, The Movie (cannot wait!! Yay!!) * Hallockville Museum Farm in Riverhead (This museum tells the story of 240 years of farming on the North Fork of Long Island) * Kelsey Piano Recital (she's practiced so hard - cannot wait!) | A Rather Spunky Kind of Day!We had a lovely surprise at dinner last night. While dining at Mitasie, just as we had placed our order in walks Jet, Andrew, and Chaplin! None of us had any clue that the rest of us were planning on dinner at the same restaurant! It turned out to be a very fun little unplanned family meal/night. **Keeping in mind that we all live together. And that Mitasie is not located anywhere around Anaheim Hills (it's in Huntington Beach). Funny little co-inky-dink! There was definitely lots of running around yesterday, but we accomplished everything without a hitch! Plus, I DID get to finally go to the bookstore (got a book on Santa Fe/Taos/Albuquerque), and even fit a little more shopping in there as well (we all got some fun tennis outfits/active wear)! As for today, well we are gonna test out these new tennis outfits and see if they improve our game! LOL We're also about to head out on a bike ride, and at some point we'll catch a movie (I'm thinking as a family group event). Hopefully this weekend, we manage some lunchtime refueling nourishment in between all of these fun activities! I gotta keep-on truckin'-on now! I hope you are already having a marvelous weekend, only taking a short break from all of the marvelousness to read our little blog about two cousins obsessed with Travel, and that you'll go continue enjoying your Sunday and meet me back here tomorrow! ;) Toodles, -T And lastly, does anyone know what today marks? Today Travelin Cousins is 4 weeks old! Yay! |
These we will fit in throughout June and July: *African American Museum, Hempstead (Local and national artists) * Raynham Hall Museum, Oyster Bay (Recognized as a Revolutionary War Heritage Site by NY State) * The Heckscher Museum of Art, Huntington * The Long Island Museum, Stony Brook (The best collection of horse-drawn carriages in the U.S.) * Southhampton Historical Museum, Southhampton (all about Southhampton) Specifically with kids in mind: * The Animal Farm, Manorville (For children to meet, feed & interact with all types of animals, Musical puppet show, playground & picnic areas) * Adventureland, Farmingdale (Amusement park - fun!)* The Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery, Cold Spring Harbor (Large collection of fish, amphibians and turtles houses in 2 buildings and outdoor ponds) *Long Island Aquarium, Manorville *Long Island Game Farm, Manorville (been here, but it's always fun to see the lemurs, kinkajoos, cougars and zebras) * Long Island Science Center, Riverhead (Interactive science exhibits) * The Whaling Museum & Education Center of Cold Spring Harbor, Cold Spring Harbor (Local history of whaling on Long Island) My plans also includes seeing at least one Yankees game with Tanya and all the kids during their visit to New York in July. Well, I will keep you posted on my schedule! And a little sadness goes out to California Chrome for not winning the triple crown yesterday at Belmont. We were all so sad! -E |

[QUOTE=Godlike13;5285608]Dick was Batman during Blackest Night. Btw dont forget Infinite Crisis where they blew it up lol.[/QUOTE]Dick wasn't there at the time.

[QUOTE=Rac7d*;5285940]Dude I dont even know what ARGUS is. However your saying Dick could use Spyral. Someone has to run it for him to use it, it has to have operative, connections and branches. It never interfered with the greater world of DC. Cities dont interfere themselves its a location it cant act only be a backdrop. Spyral is an organization it needs to have a purpose and its sole purpose cant be just for Dick Grayson. Especially since I cant think of Spyral doing anything for him Babs cant.[/QUOTE]You don't know what ARGUS is? Have you not watched Arrow, where it appears quite prominently?
The spy/espionage side of the DCU is practically a blank slate, and until Bendis attempted to streamline things it was full of various departments, organizations, and groups that all overlapped each other, which most of us don't even remember. Human Defense Corps? SHADE? Argus? Department of Metahuman Affairs? Department of Extranormal Operations? Y'all remember even half of those? All basically the same thing, and all attempts by various writers to introduce a "SHIELD" proxy to the DCU.[/QUOTE]Fair point. ARGUS in Arrow and the DEO in Supergirl do seem to do pretty much the same thing. I guess they overlap in the comics too?

How does capacity correlate with charge voltage for lithium ion batteries?And evidence that cycle life is strongly dependent on charge voltage! |
How much voltage does it take to charge a lithium-ion battery?Motivation: Most batteries have a distinct charge voltage. Below that voltage you cannot move the chemistry in the right direction, above that voltage you can fully charge the battery, even though it might take a long time if you are barely above the chemistry voltage.With lithium-ion (lithium-ion, lithium polymer, lithium iron phosphate, etc.) this is not the case. There is a voltage below which there is no action, the chemistry just won't move. But a big part of the charging process is getting ions in and out of solid compounds. These compounds have space between the crystal planes, or within the crystal structure, for small ions, such as lithium, to insert themselves. But it takes force to drive them in, and the more force the more the loading of the crystal. This loading small atoms into a crystal structure is called intercalation. So it makes sense that the amount of charging depends on the voltage. But how? I haven't been able to find any data on this, so we decided to do the experiment. Method 1. I used a 60 mAH ultra-thin lithium polymer battery. This small capacity should be able to be charged and discharged quickly, it won't heat up, and if something bad happens it isn't able to store pressure, and doesn't have enough energy to do any damage. In addition I can tell if something is going wrong because the battery will start to puff up. But it never did during these tests. 2. Charging was done with a lab power supply, the voltage was set and the battery connected without regard for current limit. Typical starting currents were 60 to 100 mA at the higher voltages. 3. The battery was discharged at 100 mA rate to 2.8 volts termination voltage.
*Note: Charging above 4.20 volts is bad for the battery cycle life! Commentary: It looks like the magic number is around 3.8 volts. Below that you don't have significant charging, above that you do. A lithium ion battery doesn't care if it is never fully charged, so if all you have available is 3.8 volts and you don't mind the loss in capacity you could use the 3.8 volts. Unfortunately, the supply voltage is probably 3.3 volts in this modern digital age, which won't work at all. An interesting thing to notice is that the cycle life goes up at lower voltages, the equation is roughly Ef (Vch)= 2^[10*(4.2-Vch)] where Ef is the enhanced life cycle factor (Ef = 2 would mean that the battery will survive twice as many charge-discharge cycles as Ef = 1), and Vch is the charge voltage. So, if you needed a battery that would give you 4800 to 8000 charge-discharge cycles down to 2.8 volts you could charge the battery at 3.8V and live with the 36% of the nominal capacity. |

Lidl is giving 25,000 shop staff a 'thank you' bonus for work during the pandemic
Supermarket workers at Lidl will be given a £200 bonus as a thank you for their hard work during the pandemic.
Around 25,000 staff will benefit from the cash boost which will be awarded by the discount chain in February.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide Ad'Thank you' bonus
All Lidl shop staff and frontline employees, including customer assistants, warehouse operatives and cleaners, across more than 800 stores and 13 distribution centres will benefit from the £200 cash injection next month.
The supermarket will also award a £100 thank you bonus to around a further 1,800 office-based staff in recognition of their efforts.
The boost will be reflected in workers' pay packets in February, costing Lidl more than £5.5 million in total.
Christian Hartnagel, chief executive of Lidl's UK business, said: "It has been an extremely challenging period and our teams have done a phenomenal job in helping to keep the nation fed.
Hide Ad"I am incredibly proud of the dedication and commitment our colleagues have shown and continue to show, and this payment is about recognising their unrelenting hard work and thanking each individual for the important part they've played in the year like no other".
Hide AdIncreased wages
The extra payment comes after Lidl handed out a £150 bonus to all colleagues in March last year and announced a pay rise for staff in November.
The new wages, which will come into effect from March 2021, will see entry-level wages increase from £9.30 to £9.50 an hour outside the M25, and £10.75 to £10.85 for those based within the M25.
The move rivals that of fellow supermarket chain Aldi, which recently announced it will increase its national minimum hourly pay rate for store employees to £9.55 from 1 February, up from £9.40.
Hide AdSupermarkets have reported soaring sales in recent months as repeated lockdowns have forced the closure of non-essential stores, pubs and restaurants, while food retailers have been allowed to remain open.
Lidl posted a record 17.9 per cent surge in total sales over the four weeks up to 27 December, in comparison to the same period last year.
Hide AdThe chain continued with its store expansion programme in December, opening four new stores, including sites in Southampton and Nottingham, and remains on track to reach its target of 1,000 UK stores by 2023, with £1.3 billion in investment planned for the next two years.

Nanomaterials ES&H
Department of Energy (DOE) Nanoscale Science Research Centers efforts
Health and safety staff associated with the DOE's five Nanoscale Science Research Centers (NSRCs) have been meeting to discuss ES&H issues at these facilities since September 2004, when all of these facilities were still under construction. In February 2007, the directors of the NSRCs formally chartered this Environment, Health, and Safety Working Group and tasked it with developing a recommended strategy for establishing an ES&H program for nanotechnology research that protects workers, the environment, and the public. The working group, with input from health and safety experts in the Department, developed such guidance, Approach to Nanomaterial ES&H, for application to all of the Nanoscale Science Research Centers. The document covers Conceptual Foundations, Controls for R&D Laboratory Operations, Verifying Program Effectiveness, Transportation of Nanomaterials, Management of Nanomaterial-Bearing Waste Streams, Management of Nanomaterial Spills, and an Example Industrial Hygiene Sampling Protocol.
The approach embodies Integrated Safety Management, reinforces compliance with DOE Policy 456.1 issued in September 2005, "Secretarial Policy Statement on Nanoscale Safety," expects adherence to site-specific implementation plans for P 456.1, and conforms with the general principles in the National Research Council's Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories. This approach is a living document, periodically updated by the Working Group, and has informed development of DOE Notice 456.1 issued in January 2009, "The Safe Handling of Unbound Engineered Nanoparticles," which establishes requirements and assigns responsibilities to ensure that work with such materials is carried out safely.
Additional information is available on the Industrial Hygiene/Occupational Safety Special Interest Group (IH/OS) Special Interest Group (SIG) nanotechnology web pages.

Assembly and Sasha Wolf present One Star and a Dark Voyage, the genesis collection from acclaimed photographer Barbara Bosworth. This project, made with Bosworth's customary 8x10 camera, speaks to our connections with nature: bear paws hauntingly human, roses cut to bring beauty indoors, a swan hunted for Christmas dinner. The visceral and the ethereal intermingle here to build a sense of the delicate and fragile nature of life, at a place where the edges of heaven and earth blur. In One Star and a Dark Voyage, we are brought into intimate communion with such things as a wound on a sun-freckled shin, a worm as stigmata in a child's hand, a bird lying in a cupped hand, a body hovering in the darkness—all evoking the ephemeral nature of life. The result: a collection of photographs that functions as a journey, where weight becomes light. The beautiful and the terrible, all interconnected, all the same. Always seeking home.
