Taiwan's Environmental Problems According to Geographical Region
A. Mountains─Development of transportation, agriculture, and tourism leads to pollution.
Taiwan's mountains are important as a water source (rivers begin from mountain springs), and for their support of forests, bird and animal life; they are also the traditional homelands of aboriginal peoples. When the Northern, Central and Southern Cross-Island Highways were completed in the 1960s and 1970s, the aborigines' life was improved but the landscape along the highways also changed. As many people came to take advantage of the mountains' resources, environmental problems were created: water pollution, soil erosion, landslides, forest fires, sedimentation of reservoirs (water sources), and flooding at the middle and lower altitudes. Now the mountain ecosystem is under increasing pressure; some areas of the land are threatened with destruction, and some wildlife species are threatened with extinction.
B. Hills-Overdevelopment endangers the midstream and downstream catchment areas.
Taiwan's hills have been overdeveloped for the sake of agricultural, residential, industrial and recreational uses (e.g. golf courses). Together with the problems of water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution and solid waste disposal, the ecological system in midstream and downstream catchment areas has been seriously undermined. Pig farmers' careless handling of wastewater and tea and fruit growers' use of chemicals to improve their yield in these regions also can lead to polluted water for downstream city users.
C. Plains and Basins-All sorts of pollution and proliferation of garbage cause environmental problems.
This region faces the most serious threat from industrialization and urbanization. Metropolitan cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung struggle with dangerous levels of air, water and noise pollution; the disposal of solid and toxic wastes in a safe and clean manner remains a problem. On average each person produces 1.13 kilograms of garbage a day; this stretches to the limit the capacity of the environment to absorb waste safely.
D. Coasts-It is urgent that we reduce pollution produced by large facilities at river mouths and along the coasts.
Economic activity has always started early in coastal areas. Today large facilities like nuclear power plants, international airports, commercial ports, fishing harbors, industrial parks and fish farms are having a complex impact on the coastal environment. To control the pollution at the mouths of rivers in western Taiwan is a particularly pressing problem.
E. Outlying Islets-The environmental threat of population growth and nuclear waste clouds the future.
Although the economy of the outlying islets relies on a pollution-free industry, namely tourism, the natural population growth rate in this region is high and the islets have long been considered the most suitable potential dumpsite for nuclear waste. The islets, being isolated, are fragile ecosystems. For places like Lan Yu (Orchid Island) the threats to the environment are immediate and very real.

Because Governor Steve Beshear is now in his second and final term, some will call him a "lame duck." But the advantage of a lame-duck governor is that he can devote all his attention to real accomplishment instead of re-election.
Because of the comfortable lead he consistently held against David Williams in the November election, Beshear never had to get very specific about strategies for a second term. But he did make an issue out of the gridlock in Washington, saying he wanted to avoid that here in Kentucky.
That's nice. But recent revelations that Beshear and Williams have had no meaningful conversations at all since Election Day don't exactly indicate a new spirit of bipartisanship in Frankfort. It's time for both men to work together to put Kentucky's fortunes ahead of their own. And passing a constitutional amendment to allow the expansion of legalized gambling would be a step in the right direction.
This is one of the few things that can have a significant, immediate effect on our economic woes. And since the amendment process would allow the voters themselves to ultimately decide in a November referendum, no legislator would be overruling the will of the people.
If the issue fails on that basis, then so be it. But Beshear – who clearly supports the idea – has now gotten another vote of confidence. Shouldn't the people at least have their say?
Call and let us know.

From USA to Everest Base Camp
November 26, 2009
My friend, Kim, and I traveled to Nepal in October 2009 to venture on an experience of a lifetime to Everest Base Camp. Kim found the Himalayan Glacier Trekking website online and we were both impressed with the competitive prices, years of experience and professionalism they offered. Being two single girls arriving at the Katmandu airport we were instantly grateful to find our guide, KP, waiting patiently for our arrival. From that moment on we were cared for by the most generous and kind people we came across on our six weeks of travel, and perhaps in our lifetime. Our well being and every need was meet along the way. KP (our leader ), Dil (our porter) and Naba (our office manager extraordinaire) felt like extended family by the end of our amazing adventure. Not a day goes by that we don't think about the great experience we had while we were there. There are no words to describe the beauty and majesticness that the mountains in Nepal hold. We are beyond grateful to Himalayan Glacier Trekking for their hospitality and great service and would highly recommend them to everyone and anyone!

Everest Region Trek 2009 – Jim Marx
April 20, 2009
While visiting my son Nick in Vietnam in November, I took a side trip for a 15 day trek in the Everest region of Nepal. I flew to Kathmandu, and on to Lukla to begin the trek. I hiked for 7 days to reach elevations over 5,000 meters or 16,000 feet. For the next five days I hiked around those elevations to the Everest Base camp, Kala Patthar at 5,545 meters or 18, 188 feet, over the Cho La Pass, and up Gokyo Ri. From Gokyo Ri there is a spectacular view of four of the world's six highest mountains including a great view of Mt. Everest. The last three days were spent hiking back down to Lukla for a flight back to Kathmandu. It was a great experience that I highly recommend.
Mr Kamal writes after back to Sydney
February 26, 2009
Mr Kamal & Ms Gayathri are back home safe, Gayathri was rescued from Dingboche in Helicopter as she had food poisiting.
We are back in Sydney. Back to our boring routine. Gayathri moved to a hostel near her campus and we are busy with our work.
It is warm here and we already miss the cold weather of Nepal. I wish to share some ideas about the trek and some pictures. I believe that the whole the trek and climbing was very well organized and well paced. Guide "Tilak" is marvelous. He had a good knowledge of the route, surrounding mountains locations, and people. He was helpful through out the trek and sometimes carried my bags for me. We remember your porter "Lok Dal" as a very strong, polite and careful person. The way he cared of my daughter, when she got in to the trouble was excellent. If you keep employing person with these qualities, your organization will thrive and will never go out of business. Please take a good care of them. You can not afford to loose them to another organization.
I have few comments:
- Meeting at the Kathmandu Air Port, dinner and night out at Kathmandu, and introduction to the trek was excellent.
- Any hints about the food we should look at while on the trek would be a greatly beneficial. For example I feel that if Gaya avoided meat and diary products at Namche Bazar, she would not get the food poisoning.
- The guides were very friendly, helpful during the whole trip and set a good pace for our fitness and acclimatisation levels.
- Visiting Everest View Hotel was worthwhile. We should have stayed for a longer to enjoy it.
- The rest day in Namche was also good. But I feel that we should have continued to Kumchung next day and rest.
- The lodges we stayed at were good, except for Tembouche. Food we had at Temboughe was very ordinary. Is it possible to avoid Tembouche and walk up to Pembouche for the night rest?
- The pacing of the walk was good especially for my age.
- The way you handle the emergency was excellent. Helicopter arrived in time and the clinic you recommended was excellent.
- In Overall I could recommend to any one your service. I am not good in writing of references. But if you wish to give anyone my coordination for recommendation, I do not have any issues with it. My Email is ————@rta.nsw.gov.au.
Again thanks for your service. I wish you a good health and prosperous business in future.

Everest Base Camp & Kala Pathar trek in December
February 25, 2009
I did an Everest Base Camp\Kala Pathar trek in December, and wanted to say a few words about the Himalayan Glacier Trekking Ltd. (Kathmandu), the agency I used for my trip. My contact, Naba, was a pleasure to deal with and couldn't have been more helpful. He provided tons of great information and was a real help with all of my pre-trip planning. This was my first "major" trip, and I was really glad for his assistance. There was no pressure on booking and he was very easy to communicate with. He was especially helpful when my travel arrangements completely fell apart at the last minute due to November craziness with the Bangkok airport. He was flexible and accommodating with my ever-changing flight schedule. I also received the same high quality of service my entire time in Nepal, and he even checked on how I was enjoying the trek while I was on the trail via satellite phone.
My guide, Hira, was great to be on the trail with. He provided just enough "supervision," but allowed me a good amount of freedom as well. He also pushed just enough for us to make fast progress, but it was never out of my comfort zone. He was also very conscious of high I was doing with the altitude. At the tea houses, he always made sure I was taken care of and included me in activities as much as I felt like. He was also able to share a lot of fascinating information about the region while we were trekking. Our Sherpa porter, Bai (Nepalese for little brother) was also great to travel with.
It was a wonderful trip, and I wouldn't hesitate to use Himalayan Glacier Trekking for another trip. I would also work with Naba and Hira again in a second! If anyone has any questions or would like more information, just let me know.

Finally Everest Base Camp became a reality this year
December 11, 2008
On the way to Everest Base Camp
Trekking in the Himalayas has always been a dream of mine. Finally this year it became a reality. It's nearly a month and half since I got back from Nepal but it is still fresh in my mind. I never get tired of telling friends and family about the trip, and of course showing the photos!. After receiving a recommendation from a friend I contacted Himalayan Glacier Trekking and received a phone call from Naba the next day. I was very impressed by this response and all the follow up emails over the next few months as I got ready for the trek. No matter how trivial my emails were there was always a helpful answer to my questions.
I arrived in Kathmandu a couple of days early but Naba and his team had taken care of everything. pick-up, hotel and sightseeing. The highlight of these 'rest days' being the city tour. Our guide had a seemingly endless knowledge for the sites we visited!

Everest Base Camp Trek & Kala Pattar
December 5, 2008
We have been home for 6 weeks now and time we thanked you for our wonderful trip to Nepal. We had a fabulous time on our trek to Everest Base Camp thanks largely to our exceptional Trekking Guide Kapil & his team, Moden, Bilbodur & Bolbodur. They made our trek exceptional. There was always someone looking after us no matter what time of day or where we were on the trek. If not for their care and professionalism we would not have made it to Kala Pattar and experienced the most amazing views of Everest and the surrounding peaks.

This topic explains how to create variation source pages and how to work with content on variation target pages. For more information about variations and the prerequisites for working with this feature, see Roadmap: Use content from a source site for sites in other languages.
If you're the site or content owner for a source variation site, all you have to do to copy your content to the target sites in your variations hierarchy is to create and publish a source page.
If you are the site or content owner for a target variation site, you might need to interact with content copied from the source site in a variety of ways.
For example, if the content coming from the source page is a new page, you might need to translate it into another language. Or, if the content coming from the source site is an update to a page you already translated and published, you might simply be making a few minor changes to your text.
SharePoint Server 2010 gives you the tools to review a draft of updated copy from the source and choose whether or not to replace the content on your target site. This ensures that you don't accidentally overwrite your previous translation work with the copy in the source language from the source page.
Also in SharePoint Server 2010, you can see exactly what content has changed in an update from the previous version you received. You can see the changes with revision marks turned on, so that you can easily tell if you need to retranslate the entire page, or whether it would be more efficient to simply translate and then add a new sentence here and there.
Creating a source page for a variations site is just like creating a page in the Pages library for any other publishing site.
Your new page will be copied to your variations target site at a time determined by settings that your server farm administrator made in Central Administration. By default, the content will be copied one hour from when you publish it, but this time can be customized by your organization to as little as one minute.
As a target site owner, you will receive an e-mail notifying you that a new page has been created on your site. Click the link in the e-mail to visit the page. The content is displayed, an exact copy of the content as it was typed on the source page.
You can now click Edit to translate the content on your new page into your target language. After you're happy with the translation, click Publish.
If you're working with updates to a page that has already been translated, you need to take a couple extra steps to avoid overwriting your previous translation.
The content will appear in a draft form with the updates from the source page.
The View Changes feature compares the most recent source version copied to the target with the most recent source version published on the target. The differences are marked up and displayed in a report that you can evaluate.
Review the report to decide whether the changes are so significant that you need to retranslate the whole page, or if you can simply update the previous version of the translation you did.
For example, if the source content was substantially rewritten, you may need to retranslate the page. If the changes involve the addition of a few words or sentences, you can probably update the previous translation.
If you want to update the previous version, you will follow a couple extra steps to ensure that you don't overwrite your previous translation.

Peter C K Pook is currently Vice-President & Executive Dean and Professor of Pharmacology at the Faculty of Medicine and Health, International Medical University (IMU) in Malaysia. He joined the IMU as Head of Pharmacy in January 2001 and was later appointed as Director of Pharmacy (2001-03) and as Acting Executive Dean (2001-03) of the Faculty of Medicine. In January 2004, he was appointed as Dean, School of Pharmacy and later as Dean, School of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (March 2005 until today). Prior to joining IMU, he held positions as Senior Lecturer (1994-95) and as Reader in Neuropharmacology (1995-98) in the School of Health Sciences, University of Sunderland, UK. He returned to Malaysia to take up the appointment as Professor of Pharmacology (1998-2000) in the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, University Putra Malaysia. He was appointed Head of Pharmacology Unit (1999- 2000) and Deputy Dean (Medical Sciences & Research, January 2000-December 2000). He obtained his PhD (1988) for his research on "Ligand binding and electrophysiological studies of Excitatory Amino Acid (EAA) receptors in the rat central nervous system", from the University of Bristol, UK. This project was funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) under the guidance of Professor J C Watkins FRS. After obtaining his PhD, he continued his work as a MRC – funded scientist with the EAA Research Group under the leadership of Professor Watkins in the Department of Pharmacology, University of Bristol (1988-93, as Research Associate; February 1993 - December 1993 as Research Fellow). In 1992, Peter as the only biologist in the EAA Research Group, together with Professor Watkins and his colleagues who are mainly medicinal chemists, developed a new range of phenyglycine (PG) analogues of glutamate which could be used as pharmacological tools to study the EAA Receptors. These novel glutamate analogues lead Peter and his colleagues to first describe a new range of glutamate receptors – the "metabotropic glutamate receptors". These PG analogues of glutamate have paved the way for the development of other analogues which has led to the better understanding of the role of EAA receptors in a number of normal and abnormal brain functions including learning and memory, epilepsy and cerebral ischaemia. As a result of this work, he was given an award by the University of Bristol for "outstanding and significant contribution to research". Peter also has a strong interest in education and has a particular interest in designing outcomes based curriculum. To date, he has led several teams to successfully design over 10 undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for IMU. He has represented IMU as an auditor for the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) and currently he has been appointed by MQA as Chair of the D-SETARA 11 (Health Sciences). )

Before joining IMC in 1993, he was the Foundation Head of the Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology at the School of Medical Science, University Sains Malaysia (USM) from 1979 to 1993. In fact, he was one of four academic staff who was seconded from the Faculty of Medicine, University Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) to start the medical school in USM. It was at USM medical school, that the problem-based learning approach in medical education was first introduced in 1979 to this part of the world. At USM, he was the academic coordinator for the planning and execution of the physical development of the medical school complex, including the university teaching hospital. Prior to this, he was the Medical Microbiologist in charge of the Kuala Hospital Pathology Department in 1970-1973. It was during this period that the laboratory services for the hospital was initiated and established. In 1973, he left to pursue his MPhil and PhD at the University of Manchester, UK under a British Commonwealth Fellowship. He returned in 1976 to serve as lecturer at the UKM medical faculty. At UKM, he initiated and established the Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology course in 1977 before he was seconded to USM. In research, his field of interest is in infectious diseases, particularly in rapid diagnosis. At USM, he started his major research in typhoid fever. The research team was able to discover a novel method for the specific diagnosis of typhoid fever in 1994. This was later patented and commercialised as EIA dotblot test, "Typhidot", and marketed in many countries where typhoid fever is endemic. He is also actively involved in commercialisation of research findings. Professor Ong was born and schooled in Penang. In 1965, he was awarded a Colombo Plan scholarship to pursue his BSc(Hons) degree in Microbiology at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Currently, he is the Director of External Affairs in IMU. His other appointments in IMU, was as the Foundation Deputy Dean from 1993-1999 and Dean of Student Affairs from 1999 to 2005.

I'm often deeply saddened at how few people understand the concept of opportunity cost.
Me too, but then I use that opportunity to buy their cheap mats and craft the items I make for half the effort and still receive a profit.
I can easily spend my time farming for Frost Lotus, but it requires less time and rewards more gold to buy them off the AH and instead craft those dandy flasks. After all, despite the slightly higher droprate, they are still a massive burden to get.
One thing this article doesn't take into account is utility [or "happiness"] maximization (as opposed to simple profit maximization). For example, every hour spent farming is an hour you didn't spend doing something you might enjoy more.
For example, although I might make 500g / hour farming and I only make 150 g / hour running heroics, I enjoy running heroics quite a bit more, and as such, running heroics to farm gold may maximize my utility.
I think Niiru is right, there is more to the game than just running an econ simulator or working out every price point on a spreadsheet. I know for me certain things are a trade off depending how tedious I consider them. For me tedium is a bigger drain, and weighs more in my decision making than how much gold I am making per hour. That's why some things I am willing to farm and some things I am willing to pay for, but in the end its what makes me happy that matters most.
To Niiru and Ash: The author of this article is specifically talking about pricing farmed items. He doesn't discuss the time farming, or play. He is merely pointing out that if you farmed something there is a price. You should consider that price when you are using your mats, or pricing your mats to sell to someone.
As an example. You want to go quest. You enjoy questing, woo hoo you sick masochist. As you are questing you incidentally farm up a couple stacks of icethorn. Now you're a scribe. We'll say for the sake of argument that icethorn is going for twice what goldclover is going for on the AH. Do you mill your icethorn, or do you post it and buy up all the goldclover? Maybe you really don't enjoy the AH, but if icethorn is selling reliably enough and you won't have to repost then it's a fairly cut and dry decision. You buy out the goldclover and sell the icethorn and mill the goldclover.
Now the actual relationship is much more complex than that, if everyone took this action then herbs of a single tier would quickly equalize in price despite varied utility from alchemy. etc. etc., but the example shows what he is talking about and that it is a separate issue from doing what you enjoy doing in the game. He is talking about realistically evaluating the resources you gather while playing the game you enjoy playing. The issue of "opporunity cost" as it relates to time spent is a much thornier and more complex topic.

Actually, opportunity cost in WoW's economy is complicated, and factors can push the price of commodities lower than you might think, given the time it takes to farm or create them.
Most materials can be slowly gathered at next to no opportunity cost during the normal course of play. Running a dungeon will probably net your one or two stacks of cloth, which are essentially "free." (That is to say, you are sacrificing very little actual time gathering them). The same goes for ore and herbs gathered during normal questing. You won't get them as quickly as dedicated farming, but you will get them at an extremely low opportunity cost, which, in turn, affects how you price them on the AH.
So, before you judge to harshly, remember that World of Warcraft is a game above all else, and this changes the way a lot of these classical economic ideas work.

A multi-year renewal not only means job security (and $1 million an episode at that), but allows for long-term story planning. For The Big Bang Theory producers, however, it means business as usual.
