pumps are used in the aorta to aid the left ventricle:
research is developing a device which is a little different from either the IABP
or EABP in that it will not act on the outer wall of the aorta, thus reducing
the likelihood of plaque formation and damage, yet will be able to be used
chronically – even turned off when not needed and thus used intermittently as
and when the patient requires 'a boost'.
Research is focused both on developing the device itself (implantables + controller) and also on the surgical and
clinical protocols for a rather unique therapy.
The disciplines involved in the research include mechanical and
electronic engineering, product design, perfusion and surgery.

yes, i do buy beans from Daintree and carry credits of source on my label. As you'll appreciate for commercial confidentiality reasons i can't say much more. But glad you enjoyed the bars ,Vanuatu beans have improved greatly over the last year. Currently Bougainville & Solomon the most popular alas i won't have more Bougainville Beans till Sept
Hi Tom,
So glad you got to try and enjoy our chocolate! We've been trying to get it into Monty's in Brisbane. Any suggestions there? We've sent them samples but can't seem to get them on the phone.
Hi Tom,
Great! We look forward to hosting him. We'll definitely have at least 2 cacao farm & chocolate factory tours and a bean-to-bar chocolate making class in January, with possibly some additional mini classes. Just tell your mate to keep an eye on http://madrechocolate.com/Classes.html and we'll post classes usually 1-2 months ahead.
Tx Tom.....sharing this with fellow chocophiles..."The flavour of the chocolate is pretty good and typical of the Samoan origin, full chocolate note with hints of nuts and honey, you will also find it will start to develope some fruity notes as the chocolate ages over the next three weeks or so. Quite an edible chocolate! The raw note in there and extra bitterness from the small beans could be easily masked by formulating as a dark milk chocolate."
Since then we have fermented longer (6-7 Nights), turned the fermenting beans daily in the latter half of fermentation, sorted the beans before exporting.....peter from dprawfoods.com thought the longer fermentation was disadvantageous? We now have Joshua bahen in WA making chocolate from Tavita;s cocoa beans here in Samoa carefully fermented 4 and 6 and 7 nights (3kg of each). Monsieur Truffe is also making chocolate this week from CSL (Cocoa Samoa Limited) beans again more carefully fermented for a longer duration (5-7 nights) by Talima.
Our growers are used to just making their own Koko Samoa paste, selling it locally in 250g cups for hot chocolate drinks, but are now having to consider obtaining the best chocolate precursors for premium export purposes.
Tx Tom
Hi Tom, You were the first to make chocolate from our SAMOA GOLD beans, thanks to Howard (www.mamorchocolates.com). Can you please send me your Testimonial/results to firstname.lastname@example.com as this same grower now has 5 tonne available..we inspected them yesterday after her organic certification follow-up visit....she's asking an additional $AUD5000/tonne through our Pacific Distributor, Richard David at www.kokosamoainternational.com and this is the price increase we want our growers to receive. Then, and only then, will we be able to produce more premium beans to make some of the best chocolate thru chocolatemakers like yourself. If you know of anybody keen to purchase 10 tonnes of PREMIUM SAMOA GOLD cocoa beans, they are now available. First come first served. And let me take this opportunity to thank you Tom..can we send you another sample as we have altered the fermentation technique to improve the quality even more? Cheers, Steve
Hi Tom, Yes you got one of my best beans which happen to have very less butter content but the aroma. We are fighting again this year with too much rain and the wind.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your comment! Nice to hear from you. I would love to hear more about your chocolate making experiences. By the way: I did not taste an Australian bean-to-bar chocolate so far....
Chocolove, Vera
Hi Tom,
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you. Any tips you have for me would be excellent. I have never made chocolate before. My daughter has a rare condition and can't have dairy so i am on a mission to make dairy-free chocolate. There is more and more in the shops but i love chocolate so thought it would be a fun challenge for me. I have ordered a melanger grinder which should arrive in the next week or two. I am sure i will have to taste a lot of bad chocolate before i get good at it but i will let you know how i go :)
Made a raspberry and cacao ice block and its surprisingly good. Needs a few tweaks here and there but its definitely on the correct track to be a special.
Try frozen banana (LadyFingers), pomegranate juice and a couple of tablespoons of cacao powder as a smoothie in the morning. I love it. Always raises the mood.

|The Sacrifice Of Abraham: Isaac or Ishmael?
|Written by mquran.org
|Monday, 20 November 2006
It is well known to Muslims, Christians and Jews that Abraham(P) was ordered to sacrifice his son and he was willing to do so but God gave him a sheep to sacrifice instead of his cherished progeny. So far, everybody agrees. However, Jews and Christians say that the sacrificed was Isaac(P) -"Abraham's only son", whereas according to the Islamic tradition the sacrificed is Ishmael(P). The opposition between the two versions has not bothered any side that much because in the common mind "what we think is certainly right and those who think differently are necessarily wrong". Recently, we came across an article by some people claiming that according to the Islamic sources themselves the sacrificed was Isaac(P) (i.e., the Judeo-Christian version of the story). In the following article, the reader will get the fruits of our research about this matter.
The most relevant passage in the Qur'ân is from verse 37:99 to verse 37:109, a passage including two different glad tidings brought to Abraham(P). Here under, we quote the verses concerning the sacrificed:
A Strange Logic
The first argument put forward by those who support the Isaac-theory is that, in the Qur'ân, the name associated to glad tidings is Isaac(P) while Ishmael's(P) name was never associated to good news or glad tidings. They quote verse 37:112
and verse 51:28
Some points have to be made clear in this concern:
Conclusion: The sacrificed is Ishmael(P) according to the opponent's own logic.
Further scrutiny requires that we quote the full passage in surah 37:
It is very obvious that, in this passage, there are two distinct good news, the first one about a forbearing son (the one to be sacrificed) and the second one about Isaac(P). Thus, the sacrificed cannot be Isaac(P) at least not according to the Qur'ân. But, once again, the opponent avoided (willingly?) to quote the full passage and this is frequently their way of doing things. Moreover, those who support that the two news are actually the same show their incompetence with the Qur'ânic style. Such a repetition cannot be imagined nor accepted by anyone who studied the Qur'ân, God's Final Book.
The Opinion Of Ibn Kathîr[1]
The above scan is the exegesis of verse 37:101 "So We gave him the good news of a forbearing son". Here is the translation of the above passage:
In a nutshell, the great Qur'ânic commentator Ibn Kathîr adds to our first three arguments two new ones: according to the Bible, the sacrificed is said to be Abraham's(P) only son (or his firstborn in some versions), which cannot fit Isaac(P); according to the Qur'ân, the good news of Isaac(P) said that he would have a progeny and consequently God cannot order Abraham(P) to sacrifice Isaac(P) before the promise is fulfilled. Again, according to the Qur'ân, the sacrificed cannot be Isaac.
The Opinion of cUlûm al-Hadîth
As a matter of fact, there was a debate between Muslim scholars whether the sacrificed was Isaac(P) or Ishmael(P). But the critical study of the reports allows us to drive safe conclusions. Here is the opinion of a scholar of the Science of Hadîth:
And further:
The Opinion Of Judeo-Christian Scholars & Islamic Viewpoint
The Encyclopaedia Judaica says:
The testimony of the former Jew as mentioned hadîth literature as quoted in the Encyclopaedia Judaica reads:
The Oxford Companion To The Bible echoes the same position as the Encyclopaedia Judaica.
It is quite clear from the statement of Judeo-Christian scholars what the Muslim position is about the person who was sacrificed by Abraham(P).
Further Evidence From Hadîth Literature
The following says:
There is another report according to which the Prophet(P) is believed to have said: "I am the son of the two Sacrificed". The authenticity of this report is very controversial so we will not use it as evidence especially when the above report is correct enough and suffices to our study.
According to the Qur'ân, the sacrificed cannot be Isaac(P). According to authentic Islamic tradition, the sacrificed is Ishmael(P). The Muslim scholars have solved this case a long time ago and, very early in the history of Islam, the popular Islamic tradition has integrated the fact that Ishmael(P) was the sacrificed.
Concerning the claim of 'world-renowned commentary of Yusuf Ali', any Muslim with a basic knowledge of Qur'ânic commentary would have a good laugh. The 'commentary' in the translation of the Qur'ân by Yusuf cAlî is just about good enough to be qualified as 'footnotes'. And of course, the commentary on the Qur'ân contains much more than these footnotes. Secondly, the statement
is a rather foolish and reflects colossal ignorance on the part of the critic who has no idea about how the Qur'ânic exegesis is carried out.
Let some people study the Qur'ân thoroughly before calling upon ghosts that will frighten nobody but themselves. Indeed, the Biblical version of the story: "sacrifice your only son, Isaac" or "sacrifice your firstborn son, Isaac" is an enigma they must live with.
Praise be to Allah that guided us to Islam and gave us in the Qur'ân healing and guidance.

How to Build and Install Raised Garden Beds
For the experienced gardener or the novice, raised garden beds take the hassle out of horticulture. Here are tips on planning, building, protecting and irrigating raised bed gardens. (Read more pro tips here.)
By Fiona Gilsenan
Greenhouse Effect
A simple framework of hoops and a lightweight cover can extend your growing season in cool areas, conserve moisture in dry areas and protect plants from birds or insects. Use galvanized pipe straps to mount 1-in. PVC pipe inside the bed walls. Cut ½-in. flexible PVC tubing twice as long as the beds' width. Bend it, mount it and clip a cover in place. Use clear polyethylene film to raise soil and air temperatures in early spring or fall—to get an early start on heirloom tomatoes, for instance, or to try your hand at exotic squashes. But be careful not to bake your plants on warmer days. Remove the cover or slit vents in it to avoid excessive heat buildup. For pest control, cover the bed with bird netting or with gauzelike fabrics known as floating row covers, which keep out flying insects but let in both light and air.

CIRI Transforms Canadian Investor Relations With New Virtual Education Across Canada
TORONTO, Feb. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - The Canadian Investor Relations Institute (CIRI) today announced that National and Chapter professional development events will be available to investor relations professionals across Canada through live and archived audio webcasts. This provides investor relations professionals with access to capital market and investor relations experts from across Canada at a time that is convenient for them.
"Our decision to virtualize Chapter and National investor relations education as a complement to in-person events reflects a growing need within our industry for increased and flexible access to professional development," said Yvette Lokker, President & CEO of CIRI. "In effect, it means that our members can choose from close to 40 seminars offered annually instead of being limited to 10 or fewer professional development events. This also allows practitioners who live outside the boundaries of our four provincial chapters to take advantage of industry-leading resources."
Effective March 1, 2013, professional development events for the British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec Chapters as well as National will be available for in-person participation in the local regions as well as live webcasts for individuals outside of the regions. Events that are a half-day or more, such as workshops and multi-day conferences, will not be available by webcast. To access CIRI's professional development schedule click here.
Chapter rates for the webcasts will be honoured for all Chapter members regardless of what Chapter they belong to, resulting in considerable member value.CNW Webcasting was selected during a competitive RFP process to deliver all webcasts. About CIRI CIRI is a professional, not-for-profit association of executives responsible for communication between public corporations, investors and the financial community.

Editor's note: Natan B. Sachs is a fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution in Washington, where he focuses on Israeli politics and foreign policy and on the Arab-Israeli conflict. He is writing a book on the domestic political underpinnings of Israel's foreign policy. Follow him on twitter: @natansachs
(CNN) -- The long-term prospects for the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas are, unfortunately, grim. But Israel may still have recourse with a Palestinian partner who is thoroughly different from Hamas.
From the start of the operation in Gaza that ended Wednesday, the Israeli goal was limited: to restore deterrence with Hamas and dissuade the organization from firing rockets at Israel. Speculation (and accusations) have swirled that Israel's upcoming elections drove the Israeli leadership's calculus when ordering operation "Pillar of Defense" (Israel heads to the polls in January 2013.)
But in truth, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a significant and secure lead in the polls even before the operation, meaning that going to war, with its inherent unpredictability, would only place his own victory in jeopardy. A shrewd and experienced politician like Netanyahu does not create his own October surprise when already ahead.
Opinion: In Israel-Hamas clash, Iran casts a shadow
Instead, Israel's aim was to recreate the limited deterrence that existed after the last large-scale conflict in 2008-2009 (Operation "Cast Lead.") After that operation, for a while, Hamas mostly refrained from firing at Israel, at times stepping aside while the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other smaller Gaza-based organizations engaged in rocket fire, and at times stopping such activity and policing the cease-fire with Israel.
Yet increasingly in recent months, and with Hamas' advances in weapons acquisition and in the diplomatic sphere, Hamas itself has fired large numbers of rockets toward Israeli population centers. The Israeli intent, in other words, was forceful but contained: deterrence but little more.
Even if the new cease-fire comes with effective deterrence between the sides, the question remains how to avoid the next large-scale conflict in Gaza if deterrence erodes yet again. It is, of course, tempting to hope for movement toward a long-term resolution between Israel and Hamas, to a diplomatic solution that goes beyond conflict management. But sobering though it may be, it is worth remembering the goals and nature of Hamas as a political and military organization.
Hamas' much-touted flirtation with pragmatism in recent months—cut short by recent leadership changes in Hamas—never went beyond agreeing to discuss a long-term but temporary cease-fire with Israel. At best, Hamas was willing to consider not fighting in exchange for concessions; it never even suggested it would commit to comprehensive peace or reconciliation. In fact, Hamas' rejection of the basic conditions set before it by the international community—acceptance of Israel's right to exist and a renunciation of violence as a political tool—speaks volumes about its goals, goals it never hid.
Opinion: How this could be the last Gaza war
For Hamas to accept Israel's right to exist would represent a fundamental break with its ideology. Moreover, unlike its parent organization, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas never renounced violence as a political tool, and, as if resolved to prove Israeli hawks correct, it used Gaza—from which Israel withdrew in 2005—as a launching pad for strikes against Israel proper. In its announcements boasting of these strikes it insists on referring to Israeli cities as "settlements," lest anyone differentiate between occupation of the West Bank or Gaza and Israel itself.
Hamas, in other words, may have incentive to act pragmatically, but it has done a remarkable job demonstrating it does not intend to do so.
And yet, whether Israel likes it or not, Hamas is here to stay. If there is a way forward it is not by wishing away Hamas' goals, nor is it by ignoring Hamas's central role in Palestinian politics. The key must be to widen the circle to include the majority of Palestinian society, still represented by the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah and by the PLO headed by Mahmoud Abbas. While Hamas will not renounce violence, Abbas, addressing the Israeli public directly, has unequivocally rejected a return to violent conflict with Israel.
He and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad have proven their commitment to combating terrorism in practice in the West Bank. While Hamas will not even discuss recognition of Israel's right to exist, Abbas has repeatedly stated his commitment to a two-state solution and to a secure Israel alongside an independent Palestine.
Moreover, if there is one encouraging element to Hamas' overtures toward diplomacy, it is in the organization's signaling that it might accept the popular will of Palestinians should they opt for peace. If the Palestinians ratified a peace deal with Israel by referendum or vote, Hamas may yet accept its popular defeat on that issue while still hoping to shape the future of Palestinian politics. One should have no illusions about Hamas' intents, but neither should one underestimate the power of the political considerations that constrain it.
It is therefore all the more lamentable that the Netanyahu government has so far failed to engage actively with Abbas and the PLO. At the end of this month, Abbas intends to pursue nonmember observer status for Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly.
Opinion: Israel, face new reality
Rather than engage Abbas fruitfully—disagreeing perhaps, but with a clear, energetic drive toward resolution of the conflict—the current Israeli leadership has signaled that it will respond harshly to the Palestinian U.N. bid, perhaps threatening the very existence of the Palestinian Authority. Instead of differentiating between Abbas and Hamas, strengthening the former while weakening the latter, current policy could soon shut the door on meaningful diplomacy altogether.
Sound strategy would suggest a sober view of Hamas and its goals. It would also suggest proactive, farsighted engagement with Hamas' biggest rival, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

City of Utica to save more than $1 million after bond refunding
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The City of Utica says it will save more than $1 million after what they are calling a "very successful" bond refunding. Bond refunding is when a municipality refinances its outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds, often times in an effort to reduce interest on the bonds. Utica City Comptroller Michael Cerminaro says that the by refunding the 2004 and 2006 bonds, the city can save roughly $85,000 per year in interest payments, which equals out to roughly $1,131,076 over the life of the new bond, which ends in 2026. "...refunding of higher cost city debt is one of the successful ways that municipalities like Utica can take advantage of the low interest rate environment that currently exists, and thereby help reduce its overall debt service expense for its taxpayers," Cerminaro said in a press release.

Personally, I absolutely adore Embla and along with Saga, it's my favourite female name from the Norse mythology. Here in Denmark, you can hardly say that Embla is particularly popular (sadly). However, its counterpart, Ask, is growing rapidly among the Danish hipsters, the chic Danes and other good people (hippies? I don't know what you call them ...). To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing Danish that makes the name sound weird or give bad associations to it, so I don't really know why it isn't (as) popular (as I think it should be). I do think it might all of a sudden get discovered and become a huge hit (much like what's happening with Saga right now). I'm stoked you like the name though, it's absolutely phenomenal IMOZelia • Twenty • Film, history and royalty connoisseur • I have a personal blog and one about royaltyExporting old Danish names, Greenlandic names and Greenlandic sibling names

It is popular in Sweden, it's in the top 200 (peaked in 2007, at 132nd place) and I see Emblas in birth announcement quite often. Definitely nothing wrong with it from a Swedish perspective, quite the opposite.

With Embla, the sound just isn't appealing at all. It doesn't really sound like a name to me, just the "blah" sound is really strong at the end. Like someone else said, it sounds like "em, blah blah" to me.Favourites at the moment ♥

The Brandon Willis saga continues.
Just a week ago North Carolina announced the 5-star defensive tackle had signed a scholarship agreement after UCLA released him from his scholarship so he could be closer with his ailing grandmother.
On Wednesday, Coach Rick Neuheisel intimated Willis could be headed back to Westwood.
"That's still an uncertain situation," Neuheisel said. "We signed a release and want him to have an opportunity to explore his options and make sure he's meeting his family obligations. But he has yet to enroll at North Carolina, and I don't think he's heard from the NCAA about the waiver and his eligibility. I'm still waiting to hear. He has not withdrawn from UCLA."
The 6-3, 255-pound Willis is looking to avoid sitting out another season after sitting out the 2010 season following his transfer to UCLA. He originally enrolled at UNC in January 2010 and participated in spring practice with the Tar Heels. He left the program this past summer after his father landed a job in Los Angeles.
North Carolina began spring practice Wednesday. Willis was expected to compete for a starting job this spring for the Bruins.

Interim Results Of The Phase 2b/3 GALAXY Trial To Be Presented At The Fifth Asia Pacific Lung Cancer Conference
Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. (NASDAQ: SNTA) announced today that interim results of the Phase 2b portion of the GALAXY program will be presented on November 28, 2012 at 12:15 p.m. (JST) during the "Highlights of Oral Presentations" session at the Fifth Asia Pacific Lung Cancer Conference (APLCC 2012) in Fukuoka City, Japan. Dr. Christian Manegold, Professor of Medicine and head of Interdisciplinary Thoracic Oncology in the Department of Surgery at University Medical Center Mannheim, Heidelberg University, in Mannheim, Germany, will present the data, focusing on prior results highlighted at the 2012 Congress of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) last September.
The 800-patient Phase 2b/3 GALAXY program is designed to compare single agent docetaxel versus docetaxel plus ganetespib, a potent and selective Hsp90 inhibitor, as second-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
About Ganetespib
Ganetespib is a potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) that is structurally unrelated to first-generation, ansamycin-related Hsp90 inhibitors. In preclinical experiments, ganetespib has shown activity in multiple tumor models both as a single agent and in combination with certain widely used cancer agents. Company-sponsored clinical trials with ganetespib include 1) the GALAXY Phase 2b/3 program evaluating ganetespib in combination with docetaxel as second-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 2) the CHIARA Phase 2 trial evaluating ganetespib monotherapy in ALK+ NSCLC, and 3) the ENCHANT Phase 2 trial evaluating ganetespib as first-line treatment for HER2+ and triple-negative metastatic breast cancer. In addition, ganetespib is being evaluated in investigator-sponsored trials including lung, breast, prostate, gastric, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers as well as ocular melanoma, acute myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma. Information on these trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov.About the GALAXY Trials™ The GALAXY ( Ganetespib Assessment in Lung c Ancer with doceta Xel) program consists of two randomized trials comparing the combination of ganetespib and docetaxel versus docetaxel alone in patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who have received one prior systemic therapy: a 300-patient Phase 2b study to determine the patient population most likely to derive benefit from ganetespib, and a 500-patient Phase 3 pivotal trial enriched for this identified population. More information about the GALAXY trials can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01348126). About Hsp90 Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone required for the proper folding and activation of many cancer-promoting proteins, and is recognized as a key facilitator of cancer cell growth and survival. Many of the "client proteins" of Hsp90 – such as ALK, AKT, BCR-ABL, BRAF, KIT, MET, EGFR, FLT3, HER2, HIF-1alpha, PDGFRA, VEGFR are the targets of clinically validated cancer drugs. In preclinical studies, inhibiting Hsp90 causes the degradation of multiple client proteins and leads to cancer cell death.

Im 18 years old, soon to be 19 and am mad that i am just getting serious but this now.
How much do you guys think it would cost to open a gym in NYC? I live in the Philly suburbs at the moment and am currently in college getting a business degree - I HAVENT LEARNED **** FROM SCHOOL. Everything business wise that i have learned has been from owners of other gyms that ive been in over the years and i can find out even more as i will.
The degree i am getting isnt to open a business anyways...its because i am also considering being a cop but i need 60 college credits (could be any subject).
But here is my dilemma...i can stay in schooll for another 1 1/2 years and become a cop making top pay in the area of 60-85k, chances are more so around 75k AFTER overtime. But its something i will be doing because im afraid of a risk and its the "safe" choice. (My father is a cop and he says DONT BE ONE, but i am almost guarenteed a job)
I can follow my dreams and take a risk. Open my own gym in the city i love (NYC - not manhattan, Queens or Brooklyn). BUT, here is the idea...since my dad is a cop, his friend can get me a job sometime within the next 6 months. So around the age of 19 i can begin working making some decent money and saving while living at home. Now if i save till im 22 (the same age as everyone else is getting out of college) i could have a nice little bank account to purchase gym equipment and the things i need, leaving the potential to get a loan for the actual building. Ill have to start building credit over the next few years aswell. HUGE RISK - but if theres any job i would rather do its be my own boss and own a gym and i was thinking - why am i not even going to TRY to get what i truly want in life?
SO what are you guys thoughts on this???
And more importantly, how much (guesstimate) do you think it would take to open a gym in NYC?

Stephen Johnson dreams big. Himalayas big. He had always wanted to trek there and in 2004, he and his son made the trip. The experience is documented in our Book of the Week, A Nepal Journal.
While the book's preview includes interesting photos ranging from rebar and religious relics to monkeys and motorbikes, what really drew me in was the introduction.
Matthew Johnson explains how the adventure came to be: Dad turned 60 and decided to give himself a particularly adventurous present. Matthew then writes about landing in Kathmandu, being greeted by a sherpa, seeing ox carcasses, experiencing altitude sickness, and hearing Tibetan hand-cymbals. I'm thinking that a father and son must be pretty close in order to share such an exotic, challenging trip, and I can only imagine the photos, inside jokes, and priceless memories that came out of it. Now I'm daydreaming about the Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang and wondering if my dad would meet me there.
Matthew and Stephen, congratulations on creating such a personal travel journal. We hope it brings you back to your journey in Nepal every time you open it.

Looking for a pump for your garden pond can be quite challenging there is this kind of a diverse array of these water pumps for ponds on the marketplace.
The 1st point you have to think about is how a lot h2o is in your pond because the pond pumps are rated on how numerous gallons per hour [or moment] of water they can re-circulate.
Do not think that since a pump is cheap that you will get the very same overall performance from it as one more costing a lot more. You may in the beginning but in time it could cost you far more simply because it will not be energy productive.
There are magnetic generate water pumps for ponds that could show to be a a lot greater option since they are power productive, also they are compact and quite long lasting.
You need to go for a pump that will demonstrate tough simply because you have to take into account that these pumps may possibly be running for months on finish. In addition the pump is the very heart of your pond and canimply the difference among a clear and nutritious setting for your vegetation or fish and a dirty a single which is a breeding ground for bacteria and algae.
A acceptable h2o pump ought to be ready to pump around fifty% of the contents of your pond each and every hour so if your pond had 600 gallons the pump need to re-circulate 300 gallons for each hour. It is essential that you get this calculation right.
Are you just searching to have a pond as an location to have drinking water vegetation and to just seem wonderful and restful in your backyard or do you intend maintaining fish? If you do intend having fish in your pond then you need to make sure there is enough oxygen for the pond filter bacteria and fish to maintain them in suggestion leading issue.
If for some explanation your pond pump stops for a duration of time about four hours the bacteria in the biofilter could die. These bacteria are there to purify the pond drinking water and if this stops then the ranges of ammonia and nitrtes create to an undesirable degree. You only need a lower concentration of these to be toxic for pond fish and most especially costly koi.
If you have your pond related to a normal h2o attribute this kind of as a stream and you get a continual provide of clean h2o via it then you are fortunate. If even so, your pond is self-contained it will be totally reliant on the water pump that you select - so choose wisely.
Always make positive that your pump is up off the bottom of the pond, possibly put on a stack of stone blocks or something like that. If you spot it on the bottom it could such up particles and that is heading to make it not only operate more slowly and gradually but it could shorten it is life.

TECHNOW – What?
TTECHNOW is the brainchild of Mushido founder, renowned Austrian producer & DJ BORO LO and Mushido China & HK managing director Ann Yuen. It is Shanghai & China's most successful, respected and fastest growing electronic music event brand to date. TECHNOW is credited by media and fans alike as a for China pioneering event, that has helped to put Shanghai on the worldwide map for all things electronic music.
The constant evolution of electronic music greatly affects what nowadays is generally understood as "Techno(w)".
"In the beginnings the term "Techno" was mostly used to describe futuristic sounding electronic music and was not a strict definition of a specific genre… To us "TECHNOW" stands for a certain futuristic aesthetic created by forward thinking sound and not for a single style of music that can easily be pigeonholed." ~ Boro Lo
[/vc_column_text] [vc_column_text pb_margin_bottom="no" pb_border_bottom="no" width="2/3″ el_position="last"]
TECHNOW – Why?
WWith TECHNOW we at Mushido wanted to create an electronic music event reminding us and a new generation of what these type of events should be all about = the celebration of "future music" via one of the oldest forms of nonverbal communication between humans: the dance in a community.
"With TECHNOW we want to capture that Zeitgeist of electronic dance music culture… At the same time we want to re-represent the (future) sound that is going on NOW for the generation that is NOW." ~ Boro Lo
TECHNOW is a brand with nods to the past, but at the same time forward thinking and with an up to date now/future sound, look and feel to it. We believe that such an event can be enjoyed by everyone with the right mind set (no matter what music preference) as long as presented under the right conditions, at the right place and by the right people.
(Information on the market situation in China and how Mushido succeeded.)
[/vc_column_text] [showcase_layerslider revslider_shortcode="trslf" width="1/3″ el_position="first"] [vc_column_text pb_margin_bottom="no" pb_border_bottom="no" width="1/3″]
EDM Events in China?
AAs a foreign company in China, realizing an electronic music brand concept of the high quality standards and the big scale that we envisioned for TECHNOW was no small undertaking considering the situation on the Chinese market:
QUICK FACTS:1. While a type of "nightclub" venues called "酒吧" – literally translated as "drinking place" (bar) – with music entertainment is very common, actual electronic music has literally no history in China and even the most famous international DJs, producers and brands are basically unknown to the majority of people. 2. Also unknown to most outsiders is the fact that the small electronic music scene in China (a country of 1,4 billion people) and its electronic music events are mostly run, organized and visited by foreigners (either expatriates living in the country or tourists); the majority of which have little to no background in this industry. 3. This "separation" that unfortunately exists in electronic music events is now becoming the norm in all kinds of venues. While several years ago Chinese people and foreigners were still mingling in a more balanced way in venues all over China, the current trend is towards venues either targeting Chinese people or foreigners.
[/vc_column_text] [vc_column_text pb_margin_bottom="no" pb_border_bottom="no" width="1/3″ el_position="last"]
TECHNOW – China, How?
SSince Mushido first arrived on the Chinese market, we were driven by our believe that change was needed and that simply everyone – but especially Chinese people – should be targeted with an event like TECHNOW in China.
What seemed to many as an instant overnight success was actually the result of years of hard work, market research and BORO LO playing and organizing countless gigs. By doing all that we were then able to develop the strategies that would a few short years later make TECHNOW both a true international quality brand and at the same time successful in China; with Chinese people and foreigners alike.
QUICK FACTS:1. TECHNOW launched in August 2010 (during Shanghai's Expo period) and within just three events has reached an average attendant amount of 800+ people.2. All of the twelve events so far held since the premiere event in 2010 followed up and improved upon the great success of the previous years. The total attendant amount lies at approximately 11000+ people. 3. All of the TECHNOW NYE Edition events so far broke visitor records and the 2012 event with a total visitor amount of 1500 people was considered Shanghai's largest New Year's Eve music event to date.
TTECHNOW unites people from all walks of life and all kinds of cultures: from Berlin Techno producers & DJs to artists, actors, musicians, singers, socialites to company CEOs and Chinese government officials. Chinese attendants at our events are mostly from the so called up and coming "80后90后" generation (people born in the 80s and 90s).
Based on our research, the majority (75% up) of these people taking part in our TECHNOW events belong to what is considered to be the "creative elite" in China. This means young people (aged 18 – 35) with high education backgrounds mostly working in the creative & technology industries, in whose minds we – ourselves avid art, design and technology lovers – have obviously struck a nerve.
[/vc_column_text] [showcase_layerslider revslider_shortcode="trsl2″ width="2/3″ el_position="last"]
TECHNOW – Future?
FFrom the early beginnings on TECHNOW was conceived as an event brand not just limited to China. We created TECHNOW from the ground up with the potential to tour internationally, including global guest artists to perform for people of all kinds of cultures.
In order to reach this goal we understood that:1. We must create a truly unique event experience with the utmost attention to detail and quality in all aspects.2. That for the event to be successfully planned, promoted and held internationally, it must be done so in cooperation with – and each time slightly adjusted for – the people of the targeted area.
Besides our regular events in Shanghai & China, we are currently working on a TECHNOW event tour for Europe and East Asia. The first half of 2014 will already see our TECHNOW tour events to be held in various cities in China, as well as first events planned in South Korea and Japan. More information TBA soon!
