The Light Asylum Room 1 Walkthrough
All the tile numbers are roman numerals.
You begin with a tile already the number IV. Now you just have to find the other eight.
Examine the puzzle on the door. Notice that the number V tile is already in place. Guess we just have to find seven others, then. And doesn't that look like a math problem puzzle?
Turn right.
Click on the sink for a close up. Click again on the hole beneath the faucet for a second close up.
Take the key from the drain and back up.
Turn right to face the desk.
Click on the picture on the desk for a close up.
Click on the upper left corner of the picture to turn it around. Take the IX tile.
Back up then click on the desk drawers for a close up.
Unlock the top drawer with the key you found in the sink.
Take the VI tile and close the drawer.
Open the bottom drawer and take the hammer.
Back up then click in the space underneath the desk (it may take a few tries to find the hotspot).
Take the swiss army knife taped underneath the desk and back up.
Turn right.
Click on the pillow for a close up.
Click on the pillow again to move it and take the III tile.
Back up and click underneath the bed.
Take the VII tile and back up.
Notice the air vent above the bed?
Let's take a closer look.
Use the swiss army knife to remove the screws around the vent.
Remove the vent cover (return the knife to your inventory first) and take the I tile.
Back up.
Now click on the floorboard of the wall, between the end of the bed and the corner.
Now that the floorboard is in close up, you should see a slight irregularity on the baseboard, near the corner.
Click on the small white square, it is the VIII tile.
Back up and turn right twice until you are facing the sink again.
Click on the mirror for a close up.
It's hammer time!
Use the hammer to break the mirror. Take the II tile and seven years bad luck!
Back up and turn left.
Time to face the puzzle.
Click on the door puzzle for a close up.
Notice the roman numerals for 15 around the outside?
This is one of those "each row, column, and diagonal should add up to 15" puzzles.
The 5 is already placed for you.
If you can't figure it out, here's a solution. Top row: 8 3 4, middle row 1 5 9, bottom row 6 7 2.
Once the tiles are properly placed the door will open.
Congratulations, you are out of room 1!
The Light Asylum Room 2 Walkthrough
This one will be a little tougher.
You will start with one queen coin, all you need to do is find seven more. Simple.
Notice that you still have the swiss army knife and hammer from room 1.
To the right of the door is what looks like a picture. Click on it to zoom in.
Oh look, one of those puzzles.
You need to turn all the red points green.
There are lots of different ways to do this.
Remember, each point affects the ones around it.
A quick and easy way to solve: make sure the puzzle is reset before you begin. Click on the very top point and it will turn green along with the "row" of four points below it.
Now click on each of the four green points on that row, one at a time. When you are done they will all be red, and the row below them will be green.
Now go to the next row down that you just turned green. Click on each of the four on that row and they will all be red when you are done.
Now go to the row below that are all green, and click each one until they turn red. At this point the top of the puzzle should be green, and the bottom point and the bottom row of four points should be red.
Now click the bottom point and everything should turn green.
Once everything is green click on "open".
Once you open the puzzle take the queen. Back up.
Turn right and you are facing a model ship in a glass case.
Click on the bottom right of the stand that the model is on to see that side of the stand. Take the key and back up.
Now click around the bottom left of the stand to see that side. Look, a keyhole!
Use the key you just picked up to open the little cubby.
Take the queen and back up.
You know, maybe there's something on the model ship.
Let's get destructive, shall we?
Break the glass case with the hammer.
Click on the ship for a close up and search from bow to stern. Maybe you will find a coin.
The coin can be found in the bow section. Look closely on the forward deck at the bow.
Take the coin from the model ship and back up.
Turn right.
You are now facing a door with a panel to the left and a cuckoo clock to the right. Click on the panel for a close up.
Hmm, there's no power to operate the panel. Back up.
Look below and to the left of the panel, there's something on the wall there. Click on it for a close up.
Oh goody, screws! Use the swiss army knife to remove the screws, then remove the panel.
Remove the burnt out fuse.
Well, we don't have anything to replace it with, so back up.
Turn right and you are facing a couple of shelves. Hey look, there's the smiley face picture again!
There's a gray object on the right of the bottom shelf, pick it up. Yay, power cable!
Click on the left set of books for a close up. Gee, Alice in Wonderland!
Pick up Alice in Wonderland and read it. Is that a time clue? Where have we seen a clock...
Move the cursor to the right of the book and an arrow appears. Click on the arrow to turn the page.
Wait, the end? But, look closely! There's a suspiciously round bulge on the bottom right corner of the right page.
Use the swiss army knife on the bulge and collect another coin.
Back up until you are facing the shelves again.
Now click on the box on the left of the bottom shelf.
Okay, we need a code to open that. Nevermind. Back up.
Click on the books on the right of the top shelf for a close up.
Hey, a book on ancient Glyphs and Signs! Now that's the ticket!
Pick up the book and read the pages.
Maybe this will help open the box?
The dials on the box represent the letters q-u-e-e-n.
The first dial is Egyptian (Q), the second dial is greek (U), the third dial is Malachim (E), the fourth dial is Phoenician (E), and the fifth dial is Theban.
Look up the corresponding symbols then back up.
Back up then click on the box.
Set the dials to spell the word "queen" using the various alphabets in the book above.
Take the queen coin and back up.
Turn left and look at the cuckoo clock.
Did you read Alice in Wonderland?
Set the clock to 5:45 and click on the button in the center of the clock face (over the dials).
Take the queen coin and back up.
So we now have seven queen coins, just one to go!
What's left?
Oh yeah, the mysterious panel that has no power, and the power box below it with the burnt out fuse.
Click on the electrical panel (the smaller one that is below and to the left of the main panel) for a close up.
We still need something to replace the fuse.
How about that power cable we picked up?
Well, that won't work.
We need something metal...
Use the swiss army knife on the power cable to expose the wiring.
Put the now naked wires in the fuse holder.
Once you have the electrical panel working back up then click on the large panel.
Click on the red button to open the panel and take the last queen coin.
Back up.
Turn right twice until you are facing the door.
Gee, a chessboard, and we have eight queen coins.
I guess we should place the coins on the chessboard in some pattern.
Maybe if we place them so that they can't take each other in a game of chess.
That would mean that each piece should not be in the same column, row, or diagonal as the other.
This is a classic puzzle known as the "Eight Queens Puzzle".
There are several different patterns to place the coins, here is one:
Picture each row of the chessboard from top to bottom being labeled A through H.
Picture each column of the chessboard from left to right being labeled 1 through 8.
Place the coins like this: A4, B2, C7, D3, E6, F8, G5, and H1.
Click on the chessboard for a close up and place the coins so that no queen shares a row, column, or diagonal.
If you place the pieces correctly the door opens and you are out!

Thanks but...
I read quarter to 6 and set it at that and pushed the button and nothing happened. It wasn't until I set it at quarter to five that it worked. Its an issue with the placement of the hour hand.
As for the ship I have search all sections and come up with nothing, so I guess I will just have to try it again
Be aware, the site these games are hosted on, coolbuddy.com, is listed on hphosts as having pages which infect users with malware. According to Google, the last "suspicious content" found there was on 10/13, and the last time they checked was on 11/3.
[Edit: If the last time Google checked was on 11/3, but the last time suspicious content was found was back on 10/13, then the 11/3 check must have come up clean, right? In any event, we'll be hosting the games ourselves very soon instead of linking to coolbuddy. -Jay]
Man I found every queen except one
I think it is related to:
the plant (Green Fancy?)
I have found these queens (mega spoiler):
QUEEN box
Crown Jewel
Fuse Panel
Drawer beside ship
I even know how to solve the last puzzle, because
I wrote an 8 queens solver back in college, and I still have it!
Anyone want to give me a hint?
I wasn't overly impressed by these games. Most of the puzzles were very easy, though I thought that gem puzzle on the wall in room 2 was a nice take on the light-up-the-squares puzzle you see so often.
Game two's chessboard puzzle I couldn't get without help from grinnyp and good old Wikipedia. This is probably due to my extreme lack of patience, but I also feel that the difficulty of that puzzle was on quite a higher level than the rest of the game.
Overall, I'd have liked to see some more inventiveness with the puzzles. I hope we see some as the series progresses.
And one question about game 2:
Was there anything we could do with that plant? Or was it just there for decoration?

I had the same problem getting the clock hands to move. I was finally able to get them to move just by clicking near them... Can't really explain it better than that. I'm also using Firefox.
I assume the page says "The Light Asylum Rooms 1 & 2 walkthrough now available" because the title of the post is "The Light Asylum Rooms 1 & 2".
Hopefully a Room 2 walkthrough will be available soon, I'm also stuck on finding the 8th queen. :)
Walk through for Room 2. I've sorted them by Queen so that you can more easily find the one you missed, since they are fairly independent. I've also included visible titles that should give you a little hint if you just need to know where to look. Note that you start with Queen 7 in your possession, along with a hammer and a Swiss Army Knife.
Queen 1: Fuse Box
From the starting position facing the chess board, turn left to face the shelf. Take the power cord from the lower shelf.
Turn left again, where you will see a panel with a red button (the power is out) and below it, a small box.
Click on the box to zoom in. Use your Swiss Army Knife to remove the screws. Take the fuse inside.
Use your SWA to strip the power cord down to bare wire and place it where the fuse used to be. Back out, click on the panel to zoom in, and press the red button to find the coin.
Queen 2: Light puzzle
The easiest way to turn all the lights green is to just click each point once, in any order. Then click the Open button.
Queen 3: On the HMS Queen Mary
Use the hammer to break the glass and click on the ship to zoom in. Click to the left so you are looking at the front of the ship. The coin is hard to see but it's on the deck of the ship above where "QUEEN MARY" is printed
Queen 4: Hidden lock-and-key
While facing the full view of the HMS Queen Mary podium, click the gap at the lower-right of the podium to find a key. Back out and click a tiny pixel somewhere in the gap at the lower-left of the podium to find the corresponding lock
Queen 5: It's Greek to me
On the shelf to the left of the starting door, there are some books and a box with 5 different turn-wheels. Each turn wheel is in a different alphabet. You need to figure out the word and then the translation
The word: This should be easy to guess - a 5-letter word that is very important to this whole room...
The word is "QUEEN"
The translation: On the top shelf is a book called "Ancient Glyphs and Signs". You can turn the pages with the left arrow. Make sure you look up the correct letter for each alphabet system.
Open the box to find the coin.
Queen 6: Alice in Wonderland
On the shelves to the left of the starting screen, there is a stack of books where "Alice in Wonderland" is open-able. Click the right arrow to turn to the last page and use your Swiss Army Knife to open the small white indent on the bottom of the page.
Queen 8: Cucoo clock
If you are facing the door that you entered from, there is a cucoo clock on the right-hand wall. I wonder what time we need to set it too? Perhaps if you consult a book from the bookshelf (Alice in Wonderland, perhaps?)
The time mentioned in the book is 5:45. Click the hour hand to set the hour to "V" and click the minute hand to set it to "IX", then click the grey button at the base of the two hands to get the 8th coin.
Now that you have 8 coins, they need to be placed on the chessboard so that no two coins are in the same row, column, or diagonal line. I pretty much placed them randomly until I found a solution that worked, but you can find one possible solution on the wikipedia page for "8 queen problem"
Now you are free! Or are you?
The last remaining Queen Coin, I also had found the others mentioned above.
There are two books that you can open.
One has the hint for the clock and the other has the hint for the box.
Make sure that you find the last page of each book.
Take a second look at the Alice in Wonderland book.
The pages turn on this book as they did on the Glyph book. Move your mouse along the right side of the open book until you see a right pointing directional arrow.
When you see the words, "The End" on the left side, look on the right side at the bottom corner and you will see a raised up part.
Use your knife on it. A hole will be cut on the page and reveal number 6 Queen Coin.
Very enjoyable! And even better because it was made by a portuguese just like me! So, if you allow me, I'll just leave a few words for the creator in our own language!
Fausto, grande jogo mesmo! É dos meus estilos de jogos preferido, e passados vários anos como frequentador assíduo deste site, é um prazer ver um conterrâneo a contribuir com uma pérola desta!
Continua o bom trabalho, espero continuar a ver aqui outras boas contribuições tuas!
Grande abraço!
Miguel Suarez
Reading the comments now I see that other people had trouble
turning the pages of the books. Normally in these games, you click on the edge of the page to turn it, and since I clicked all over that edge, I figured I wasn't supposed to turn it. It took me forever to figure out that you had to click at the edge of the screen, rather than the edge of the book. Sort of counterintuitive, if you ask me.
The link to Room 2 pulled a severe spyware threat on Symantec - I won't dare click it again to diagnose. Not kidding here. I'd advise to have the developer check his security asap.
This particular threat btw: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2002-101518-4323-99
[Edit: It looks like there was some suspicious files on coolbuddy within the past 90 days, but none within the last month, according to Google: http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=coolbuddy.com/ So, I'm working on hosting the files myself anyways, which may help those apprehensive about it. -Jay]
"Hello subject 7. You are mentally ill, so we put you in a bunch of locked rooms, given you access to a knife and a hammer, and won't let you out until you solve several sets of brain teasers that require calm and focus in the first place. Oh, and the penalty for failure is death."
I really hope this turns out to not be something different, because I just can't take this at face value. Spending an hour looking for white-on-white is enough to make anyone question someone's sanity. Still, the series' best feature is how everything relates to piecing together the last puzzle of the room. It gives direction to the series, so even when you're clicking around randomly, you always know what you're looking for. It can even make the final ones seem easier, since you can think about them while you're looking elsewhere.
I also had no idea that the pages could turn, being used to the "opens-only-to-one-page" books. The alphabet book tipped me off, but the "turn page" arrow looks like the "back" arrow. Also, a possibly game-ruining bug: "Queens can't harm other queens", preventing you from putting a queen token back in your inventory on the board. You have to place it first, then pick it up again. There's a formation, using only five queens, that can threaten every space on the board, thus preventing you from being able to change the formation again.
Okay, the puzzles were not inventive nor original. I learned the eight queens puzzle as a child. But today, anyone can just Google it. Why even have it?
Nevertheless, as I played, I found myself enjoying it immensely. I don't know why. Practically everything from music to movies are derivative But perhaps quality is inherently enjoyable. Even if we've seen/heard it before.
That's my guess. Because I liked them both and am looking forward to more.

In Reply to: "The force will be with you, always" posted by su on January 05, 2005
: What does famous quote "The force will be with you, always" from star Wars mean?
"May the Force be with you," are the words spoken by the character Obi-wan Kenobi, a Jedi knight in the Star Wars series. He further explains that "The Force is what gives the Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." Then there is the Dark Side...

With almost no effort, my first batch of compost is ready!
Using my lazy method it took about a year. I simply dump yard debris and kitchen scraps as they accumulate. Last fall, I saved two large brown paper bags of leaves so I layer them over mushy kitchen scraps to keep a decent carbon/nitrogen ratio.
This pile was turned just once when I moved my first bin farther back in the yard, but otherwise it has broken down on it's own. I added a second bin so I could leave one alone to rot. The lazy process would be somewhat faster if I could keep the pile moist. I occasionally leave a sprinkler on the bins, but they are generally out of sight, out of mind.
In all my flower beds around the yard, I dumped about six buckets of mostly finshed compost. At one point, I noticed an anole lizard on the wall of the house watching me as I spread. He jumped down twice and gobbled small beetles that were mixed in with the other organic matter. To make plants and other creatures happy with what once was unwanted debris is very satisfying indeed!

While seated around a boardroom table at a recent staff training, I was reminded that great service doesn't always need to coincide with a luxury offering. I had just showed the group of front line employees a photo of a highly polished doorman wearing white gloves and I asked them, "What do you see?" One employee announced that the level of service being delivered in the photo was not obtainable at their property. A few of his colleagues started to agree saying that their residence wasn't the "Four Seasons". I pressed on and told the veteran group to look past the tangible items in the photo, the clothes, the lobby, and to instead focus on the facial expression of the doorman pictured. I explained that truly great service comes from an employees genuine desire to help someone and this normally begins with a smile. A smile, a BIG smile, I told them, was certainly an achievable feat at their property. This was the first of my "six insider tricks" and was the start to a great afternoon of training.

Regardless of the financial condition of their state, voters in Tuesday's Republican primaries considered the economy the top issue influencing their choice.
And even though the debate in the last few weeks has often involved other issues — like contraception, or women in combat, there was very little evidence of a gender gap among the leading candidates in several of the major states in play on Tuesday, and very few voters mentioned abortion as a deciding factor.
In Ohio, Mitt Romney was favored by better-educated, more affluent and older voters. Very conservative voters and those who strongly support the Tea Party backed Rick Santorum. Roman Catholics preferred Mr. Romney and evangelical Christians chose Mr. Santorum, who is Catholic, according to the exit poll.
In Tennessee, Mr. Santorum secured the support of those with lower incomes, as well as very conservative voters and evangelical Christians, while those in higher income brackets favored Mr. Romney.
Mr. Romney handily captured Massachusetts, winning a majority of voters in every group, including conservative groups that have been gravitating more often to Mr. Santorum. Although about half of the voters said the state's 2006 health insurance law — which was put in place when Mr. Romney was governor — went too far, they gave about 70 percent of their vote to him. Those who were better off financially tended to be the ones who expressed more dismay at the law's reach.Continue reading the main story
Newt Gingrich prevailed in his native state, Georgia, doing best with older and less educated voters and those who live in small towns and rural areas. Men and women backed Mr. Gingrich about equally. "I'm a Georgia girl, and I just love Newt," said Patches Mongeon, 38, a wholesale accounts manager voting in Atlanta.
In Ohio, unemployment is at 7.7 percent, lower than the national rate of 8.3 percent. Still, more than half of voters in Ohio considered the economy the most important issue; about a quarter pointed to the federal budget deficit. About three-quarters said they were very worried about the direction of the nation's economy.
Among voters in Georgia, where the unemployment rate is above the national average and the foreclosure rate is one of the highest in the country, nearly 6 in 10 selected the economy as the top issue. It also mattered most for nearly 6 in 10 voters in Massachusetts, which has one of the highest median incomes and low unemployment. In Oklahoma, Vermont and Virginia, voters for whom the economy was the top issue also backed Mr. Romney.
More than 7 in 10 voters said the price of gas was an important factor in their vote. Less affluent voters were more likely to say that gas prices affected their vote choice, particularly in Georgia.
Although Mr. Romney had trouble in Georgia and Tennessee with very conservative voters, he did win a majority of the primarygoers in Georgia with an advanced degree and of the voters whose family income was over $200,000. Both of these groups also favored Mr. Romney in Tennessee, as did, moderates, Tea Party opponents, those favoring abortion rights and those looking for a candidate who can beat Obama.
In the earlier contests, Ron Paul did very well with younger voters — getting a sizable portion of those under 30 in some states, where he received a smaller percentage of the overall vote than other candidates.
Tuesday was no exception. About 3 in 10 under 30 in Ohio and Tennessee voted for Mr. Paul. In Virginia, where he and Mr. Romney were the only candidates on the ballot, Mr. Paul received more than 60 percent of the votes of those under 30 (in fact about 60 percent of those under 45). The "younger" vote, however, does not have much of an impact in the Republican primaries — about 10 percent or less in the contests on Tuesday were under 30.
"He's the only candidate talking about limiting the size of government, reducing the debt and maintaining personal liberties," said Matt Martin, 29, a youth minister in Smyrna, Ga., who voted with his toddler and infant in tow. "All the other choices are votes for more government and more big government."
Although Mr. Romney was regarded as the conservative alternative to John McCain when he ran for the nomination four years ago, many voters on Tuesday saw Mr. Romney as not conservative enough. At the same time, Mr. Santorum and Mr. Paul were seen as too conservative. Mr. Gingrich was the only candidate whose positions were selected as "about right" by most primary voters.
Fred Russo, 70, and his wife, Estelle, 65, also came to the polls to vote for Mr. Romney at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church in Willowick, Ohio, a small suburb about 20 miles east of Cleveland. "I would prefer someone more conservative, but it's important to beat Obama," he said.
In earlier primaries, with the exception of South Carolina, Mr. Romney did best with voters who were looking for a candidate who can defeat President Obama. On Tuesday, 4 in 10 of those voters backed Mr. Romney in Tennessee, while a third voted for Mr. Gingrich. Almost half of these voters backed Mr. Gingrich in Georgia, but almost as many supported Mr. Romney in Oklahoma.
In the rest of the states on Tuesday, Mr. Romney received a majority. The exit polls were conducted by Edison Research for a consortium of the television networks and The Associated Press and included in-person interviews with voters as they were leaving polling places across the state and telephone interviews with early and absentee voters.Continue reading the main story

Malcolm is a self-taught artist working mainly in watercolours. He told us that he only discovered he could paint in his early thirties whilst studying for professional qualifications for the Civil Service. In his own words... `there is very limited scope for artistic interpretation in internal audit and management and my somewhat latent but starved creative side began screaming for an outlet. So, on one occasion, I took away a box of my Grandfathers watercolours and I began put pencil and brush to paper. It was like waking up and finding I could fly! He has recently taken early retirement and can now concentrate on painting. `I tend to paint intuitively, for the love of it and for where it takes me. Im somewhere else when I paint, Im not conscious of what Im doing, it simply flows from the brush and the heart. And Leigh provides such a perfect subject; its full of character, history and atmosphere.
22nd July - 7th September - Create98
This exhibition will provide a taste of the artistic achievements of people who have attended classes offered by Create98 and inform you of the variety of classes you can take. You can read more about this new art and craft studio based in Leigh Broadway elsewhere in this newsletter.
9th September - 19th October - Darren Jones
Darren sees his exhibition as an opportunity for a bit of self-indulgent in his favourite interests - the music, culture and fashion of the 60's and 70's and also his love for his hometown. He works mainly in acrylics and hopes that people enjoy his paintings and that fond memories are jogged!

Many people have a lot of myths about what being an entrepreneur is and how it will shape/affect their life that are simply not true. Entrepreneurial Organisation Definition in Pretoria and these are the seven biggest myths that I continuously hear.
1. Being an Entrepreneur is too risky for me.
Starting your own business in these days is not too much more risky than trying for any other corporate job. At a corporate job you can be laid off at any time, Marketing Strategies For Startups have benefits cut with no reason, and work long overtime without being compensated for that. If you are student as well, the risk can't be that bad. It's not like you have a mortgage or family to support if it fails.
2. I am too young to start my own company
Being young is not a negative, in fact in most cases it's a positive! When your young you have the passion energy and enthusiasm that is needed to work 14 hour days day in and day out for a company you believe in. Most older people with more experience just don't want to do that any more.
3. I have no experience
Again, Entrepreneurial Organisation Definition this can work towards your advantage. Your lack of experience means that you are looking at everything with a fresh set of eyes. You wont get stuck in the "we have always done it that way" kind of thinking that can stop other entrepreneurs. Running your own company will also build much more valuable experiences than a job flipping burgers will at your age.
4. It is not the right time for me to launch a business.
As a student you have a schedule that is completely flexible and large blocks of time between classes and on breaks to start a business. Campuses have tons of resources you can harness as well, What Is Marketing Strategy so there really has never been a better time than now.
5. If I am running a business my grades will fall.
Running a business takes organization and discipline. If you are organized and disciplined in one area of your life it will probably pass over to the other areas of your life as well. Many student entrepreneurs I know actually report their grades increasing once they started a business.
6. Student businesses are just small rinky-dink operations
Some student business that started as just rinky-dink operations were Dell, Google, and Microsoft. You have probably heard of those companies right? That is because they were great ideas and hard work created products that had potential to expand from their small beginnings. Your business can too!
7. I don't have any money! I can't start a company
Everyone seems to think only millionaires start companies. This is simply not true. Most companies are started with the founders savings and no investment capital. Start with what you can and work hard. Things will come together if you want them to come together. You will be amazed at what you can do!
Entrepreneurial Organisation Definition in Pretoria?
A new idea is merely the combination of two or more old ideas. The creation of a new idea is the critical first step in establishing any business.
People who dream of setting up their own business but dont succeed, generally fall into one of three categories:
too few ideas
too many ideas or
waiting for the perfect idea.
Any of these three states of mind may hinder the budding entrepreneur.
Would be entrepreneurs with too few ideas.
These individuals typically say if only I had an idea for a business.
Just remember that if you say you dont have an idea it really means you have no-idea! If this applies to you, you need to get cracking on that first idea fast! As soon as you are able to dream something up, youll have the essential ingredient that all successful businesses are built upon.
Would be entrepreneurs with too many ideas.
Can you ever have too many ideas I hear you say? Well if your creative process leaves you feeling overwhelmed for choice then its definitely a possibility! Many highly creative people experience inertia in business purely because they have so many ideas. They dont know where to start or which idea to implement first!
If you fall into this category, just pick one of your ideas (it doesnt need to be your best one!) and begin to mentally develop it further. Consider the first key steps you need to take to push your business idea forward. Remember that you dont have to have a 100 page business plan or a fully formed idea before you can start taking action! All you need is a little focus.
Would be entrepreneurs waiting for the perfect idea.
This is the equivalent of expecting to know how to swim once youve found the perfect swimming costume.
If you fall into this category, even if you do manage to find the perfect idea, ask yourself whether or not you are going to have the right skill base to get it off the ground. Many successful entrepreneurs have failed many times before their perfect idea came along. It is through being prepared to fall down and stand up again that you develop the tenacity required to succeed in business.
Stay Ahead of the Game.
Whatever your circumstances, whether you are in business already or looking to start a business, creating ideas and being innovative will help keep you on top of your game. The way we are doing business globally is changing at such a rapid rate that if you dont consistently innovate, you will soon be out of business.
Cultivate your Innovation skills.
All the entrepreneurs that I have met have been possibility thinkers. By this I mean they keep their minds open to new opportunities and new ways of thinking. The best way for you to cultivate this ability within yourself is to spend time around other creative thinkers. Challenge each other to innovate.
A Simple Idea Creating Exercise.
Two nights ago I had a brainstorming session with a couple of entrepreneurial friends over a meal. We did a little 5 minute exercise where each wrote down as many ideas as they could on how to create a million pounds within a year. The quality of the initial ideas was absolutely irrelevant. What was really valuable was what came afterwards, when each person read out their individual lists and we discussed how these particular ideas could work.
We had a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and generated a couple of really great business ideas (as well as plenty of ordinary ones!), purely by focusing our brains to answer a simple question.
So how many entrepreneurs does it take to change a light bulb?
Well Im not entirely sure on the answer to that one! But I do know how many ideas it takes to start a business
Just one.

Accounting Professionals: Are The Necessary?
Does your business needs an outside accountant?
It all depends. If you require an audited or reviewed financial statement, then, yes, you need a CPA. In any event, it is always a good idea to maintain a relationship with an accountant no matter how small your business. Whether your accountant is a CPA is up to you. The real question is: To what extent do you need outside accounting services? That also depends on you and the nature of your business.
I always start with the admonition: The Buck Stops With You! You cannot afford to dissociate yourself from understanding the meaning of your financial statements. If you solely rely on your accounting staff or accountant for completely accurate financial data, then you are asking for trouble. If you are going to own or manage a business, then you have a responsibility to learn how to speak the language of business. The language of business is accounting knowledge.
How involved you become in the accounting process will be determined by time schedules, your mental pre-disposition, desire for control, cash flow, etc. One scenario, if you can afford it, is to hire an internal accounting staff to prepare financial statements on a monthly basis and have an external accountant check them over. Another common scenario is to prepare part of the compilation yourself, such as preparing a sales journal and a cash disbursements journal, and then hire an outside accountant to prepare a bank reconciliation and the financial statements for you. Some do this on a monthly basis, others quarterly. Some business owners do the books themselves all year and turn them over to the accountant at the end of the year to verify the balances and do the depreciation entry for tax purposes.
There are numerous ways to work with an accountant. Regardless, you should learn enough about accounting to be able to communicate intelligently with your accountant. Since you are intimately involved in your business you may recognize danger signals that not even your accountant will see.
Selecting an accountant
Relying on the yellow pages to find an accountant can be risky. The best way to find any professional is by a referral. However, you need to interview prospective accountants before signing on. One of the first priorities is to find out what their experience level is. Your business may have very specific accounting and tax issues that require a certain amount of expertise. Perhaps you have a manufacturing concern. What does the accountant know about raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory accounting? Does the accountant know how to set up job-costing and overhead burdens? Ask for references from other like-kind businesses.
Keep in mind, that you may go to an established firm with a good reputation, but with whom are you going to have a relationship? Is your account large enough to warrant a relationship with a partner? You need to feel confident with the person assigned to your account. Perhaps a smaller firm with four or five accountants who are all seasoned veterans might work better.
You will also want someone with whom you can relate. The ability to communicate is a crucial factor. Your accountant may be technically proficient but can you understand what he or she is telling you? Does he or she listen when you ask questions? Dont be afraid to ask for someone else if you are having difficulty communicating.
Another important criterion is accessibility. Is your accountant too busy to talk to you? Can you get your questions answered within a reasonable period of time? Do you feel important to him or her? Situations may arise where you need information immediately to make an important business or tax decision, will your accountant respond quickly?
Last, but not least, are the accountants billing practices. Billing practices vary from firm to firm. Some firms are very aggressive and put tremendous pressure on staff and partners to bill every minute they can. Some firms require a review process before any work goes out the door. This means that every person who performs any work on your account, including the person who puts the stamp on your envelope, bills you for it.
Find out in advance what happens if you call the firm to ask a simple question that takes less than five minutes to answer. Are you billed for five minutes or are you billed in increments of fifteen minutes even though you only talked for five? Some firms justify this increment billing by explaining that you are paying for the accountants expertise that may have taken years to acquire, therefore, they say, its worth it.
Some accounting practitioners charge a flat rate for services rendered or a combination of flat services and hourly charges. For instance, an accountant might charge $200 a month to prepare a monthly financial statement but charge $100 an hour for special projects. Within the monthly fee, the client can call to ask questions that last fifteen minutes or less for no additional charge. This way the client is not reticent about calling. Getting your question answered may prevent little problems from later becoming bigger more expensive problems.
Very often projects take longer to complete than anticipated. Complications arise and the practitioner should be paid for his or her work. Always insist that, if there are going to be additional charges over and above what has been agreed upon, that the accountant gets your approval first. Be sure to clarify these procedures before engaging an accountant in an engagement letter. This is a document that spells out the responsibilities of both parties and how the relationship is going to work.
Remember, there is absolutely no reason to be intimidated by your accountant. After all, you are paying for the services, and I promise you, the accountant wants your business.

While I can't wait to begin photographing your story, first I'll tell you a little bit about mine…
My story as a photographer actually starts right here in Houston Texas. I majored in Film Production at the University of Houston and quickly discovered that I could practice and explore the world of visual storytelling through my photography. It wasn't long after graduating that I started to shoot wedding photography in the Houston area, and I quickly became addicted to the way that I could use the principles of storytelling in my photography. I love looking for all of the tiny little details that make every moment so special and remarkable, creating photographs that are rich with emotion.
I have definitely found my passion in wedding photography and other types of photography, and I've already been blessed with so many beautiful wedding stories to tell. I love being able to truly connect with the people I photograph. Working closely with my clients allows me to highlight the little things that make each individual unique and really show their personality. My photography allows me to do what I love best, and I try to show that passion in each and every beautiful photograph for my clients to share with their loved ones.
While I spend a lot of time on photographing the many stories that Houston has to offer, I do occasionally let my camera have a chance to recharge. I'm usually spending time with my growing family whenever I'm not working, enjoying the beauty of watching our own story as it unfolds.
We'd love to hear all about your day!

They make it simple even for the inexperienced with a shade for highlights, lids and the crease. It goes great with my fare skin tone. Apply the shades to the designated areas, apply see mascara and go! I haven't been wearing a lot of eye liner lately so I skipped it but by all means feel free ;p I really recommend it, especially with a price tag of about $3!! Stay tuned for a post full of reviews of everything in my JollyVoxBox from Influenster!

When selecting a photo from my photo stream as the wallpaper (on my iPad 4 with iOS 7), the wallpaper is shown as a preview, allowing me to scale and move the visible area. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for most images, e.g. ones that I downloaded to the device from the web.
Using the two-finger pinch to scale the image doesn't work at all, and moving the visible area is very slow, if it works at all.
This behavior results in weirdly cropped and scaled wallpapers - the same was working fine on iOS 6.
Is this a known bug? It seems to be related to the size of the photo - the stock wallpapers coming with iOS work fine.

Well let me begin by saying yeah its been along time since I have been blogging but the Christmas session was a horrible and dark time for me in which I'm please as passed by. Anyway over this period I have been thinking and questioning my own mythism theory's. This new entry may be a long read and I will write in sections so you can read only the area's you find interesting.
The life within Mythism
Mythism is the way I like to live, the biggest influence on this is how sensitive my mind is to the visual environment around me. While I live I spend time looking at how life operates, looking at how we have paved a synthetic and man made maze of mundane material. I see cut out streets, blocks of security and streams of cold machines. I believe that today's man lives in a static state of comfort and thus causing people to gather in the tribes of family's, friends and co-workers. I personally enjoy being an outcast from the patterns in people's communication styles and living rituals embarrassing a sanctuary of piece and having a repression of life that leads me to dream of a more colourful existence. In fact everyday I feel attacked by people's fears while those fear's are intentionally I feel they aid in repressing me from approaching people as they tend to fear me for the corruption that they expect in all. In the world I imagine I see strangers gathering without fear of disturbance and unsociable behaviour. A place where growth and development of the society isn't based on mans thirst for power and money. I also wish for people to stop being influenced by the ideals of material power and to seek a lifestyle of the development of the mind and spirt.
Mythisim and deep spirituality
OK let me begin by saying that I believe we all unwillingly would love to know why we are here, its what makes us human. I fear though that society has begun to try and retreat from such thinking and I feel that this is causing mankind to lose respect for life. Well I haven't had much choice in spiritual thinking because while growing up my mind has open to many visions of possible near death experience's I had from being a very unwell child with a corrected congenital heart defect called fallots tetrology. Since then I seem to be able to drift into a deep connection with a sphere of existence that seems to defy everything that man could dream off on this physical plain. In fact so much of this place is still being developed by the development of my subconscious in which I can also travel into. I think that by entering our subconscious we are beside the doorway to death and that we are all living so much closer to death than we realise. I will call the brain the orbital growth chamber of knowledge in which all our experience's will develop the entity of electrons. We have a problem though and that is that society is constantly requesting us to watch the dreams of others and to lose our own visions and that attitude will begin to kill even the physical world itself and righteous pathway to a higher plain. Mankind will hopefully learn that its exists in a place where darkness and light are both present and that minds need to be encouraged to open up to both.
Mythism and the higher power of Imagination
The word imagination seems to be a new taboo word, I believe this is because people think that this exercise is futile and one that don't lead to any physical payback and I have to agree to an extent. But there are some high class jobs which require people to imagine like in advertising, artists and designers, writers to name a few but there is even a element of wrong doing in this where today's creative seem to rely more on parasitic style theft. So what does the ordinary person find from being imaginative, well from personal experience its helped me to solve problems, work through and exploit rules and systems, to escape a mundane life and to foresee and avoid future issues. Mythism is a place so close to the edge between reality and the imaginary. We can merge the world we experience around us by bringing into our minds and analysing it through memory and allowing it to grow out again into the world taking on new forms. We are doing this all the time, ancient mythology created new and wonder full things., and today we have nuclear mutant super beings. We our self's are capable of imagining our own worlds and I myself enjoy visualising them mentally and painting them and maybe in death I may be responsible for creating my new existence. In fact the film What Dreams May Come seems to achieve a simple and easy way of understanding the theory.
Mythism and the subconscious
Are we subconscious, well I think we have to be but most of us are evolving a program of basic instinctual subconscious thinking traits which are still quite animal. I see people that seem to live quite high class life's still bragging about how they much the abuse themselves with drugs. So it appears that at the moment people need some way of losing there inhabit ions through mind alteration. I think this dims minds from channeling into deeper levels but most artists will have u believe that alcohol helps them to create well i think it calm down the anxiety's imagination can induce and helps them to calm down minds. There are downfalls to being a subconscious person and that it makes one drift away from raw reality so experiences feel more like one is observing rather than really doing. Also fantasy and delusion is constant but is essential to feel mania without drug use and a euphoric state can be induced through the visit to the gate of mythism near to the doorways of death itself.
Art and Mythism
Well art at the moment is not art, I believe that art is now a show of show piece's offering intellectual analysis to non artists or dead artists. Personally I wouldn't want to sell my art to a collector but maybe prints so that I can claim the original to myself while alive. I don't think anyone who was to purchase my work would turn its complex aesthetic into bullshit babble. The day I ever sell my work would only deny its soul purpose of existing and would only serve to satisfy my physical desires. Today's so called artists try and cause reaction from the ability to shock or rebel against mainstream thinking which is intelligent to the mass but only disgusts my deep belief in real art development. And what makes a real artist to me well they must be involved in every part of the creation of the piece themselves, they must not use any objects that were already manufacture by others unless its evident that the object lost its identity within the final piece. If an artist Say's the piece is this then it is and shouldn't in any way be modified to suit any outside influence I could go on loads about how I deeply dislike the conceptual or insider art of today, I also think that naive art is terrible in technique and vision. Art should also be linked to other subjects such as science and should be taught through principles from all art types.

The case studies from apts who have been successful champions of waste segregation are here:
I've attended the workshop and here are the brief learnings.
1. Unsegregated waste is the real waste. If segregated, more than 90% of the segregated waste is useful and can generate revenues.
2. 200 apts generating waste for 6 months can generate revenues of 1 lakh Rs. Src: NGV, Tungabhadra
2.1 Most valuable waste: paper cardboard, then comes glass bottles, wet waste, Unrecyclable: aluminium mixed with plastic wrappers like kurkure.
2.2 Hard lesson from most case studies: Only door to door pickup works, otherwise apt residents do not follow guidelines.
2.3 Little Manure helps composting wet waste like vegetable cuttings, leftovers, etc.
2.4 meeresh.blogspot.in
3. HK staff does doorstep collection. green bag for organic red for inorganic. Some segregation needs to be done at backend by HK staff.
4. sanitary pads and napkins not recyclable
5. paper sold to raddiwala, plastic to kay kay plastics, used for tarring roads, to benchmark measure waste before and after waste recycling.
6. Challenges: Competition between HK staff and housemaids for valuable waste. ewaste bin needed seperately.
7. Doorstep collection specifics: Wet waste collection everyday, newspaper collection once/twice a week. Unsegregated waste not collected
8. medicine waste gets incinerated by nearby hospital. need to tie up.
9. sites.google.com/site/managingwaste
10. Garbage drops bad model. door pickup the best.
11. BBMP Addl Commisioner for solid waste: salmafahim[at]gmail[dot]com 9483500100 coming up with plans to enforce segregation
12. wet watse needs composters. block champions, even floor champions, green council, reward for max collection by HK staff.
13. waste needs to be tracked to block. regular pickup schedule most important to success. spread aware ness through childrens posters.
14. waste should be problem of mc as much as that of volunteers and residents.

I went there last weekend and gave them all the plastic waste I had collected over the last three months. The guys over there are enthusiastic about recycling plastic and thanked me for making the trip. They offered to come to my apartment periodically and pick up the waste themselves, provided there were enough residents interested. They already do this for some apartments in South Bangalore and also some companies, including Wipro. They pay Rs. 6/- per kg.
If you live around Kanakapura Road, I would urge you to consider segregating your plastic waste and giving it to them. They sounded a bit worried about getting sustained support from BBMP. As citizens, we can at least encourage these initiatives.
What are other apartments doing ?
- Many established apartments societies are already segregating their waste. It is part of modern living. Plan segregation in your household. Read about it :

Hi ,
Here is my plan.
There are 6 categories of waste. We need to have separate containers for these per block or two blocks. Size of these containers will need to be thought about based on proportion of that waste category and rate of disposal. Some money needs to be invested here.
Weekly disposal (residents dispose themselves - Recycling organization truck collects from the bins in the basement weekly. they will do it for free)
1. Paper
2. Plastic
3. Metal, glass etc
4. Electronic Waste
Daily Disposal
5. Bio-Medical Waste (Normal/Toxic) (Residents dispose in newspaper bags only that they can make themselves. Housekeeping collects these bags in a separate trolley on a daily basis. Bio-Medical waste disposal company collects the waste daily from Alpine. We need to pay them)
6. Wet Waste (Kitchen - eatable, vegetables, fruits) (Residents dispose in container with cap/lid. Housekeeping daily collect only the content of the container in a bucket which they later clean with water to avoid smell. BBMP collects waste without plastic covers)
Let me know if we can meet and take this forward.

How music can help recall memories
Music against dementia
Multiple studies have found that music can help people living with dementia recall memories and emotions of the past, which they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
The past, which is not recoverable in any other way, is embedded, as if in amber, in the music, and people can regain a sense of identity…" — Oliver Sacks, M.D.
There are multiple reasons why researchers believe that music boosts brain activity.
Firstly, music brings out emotions and emotions carry memories within it. Neurologist Oliver Sacks states that, "Music evokes emotion, and emotion can bring with it memory… it brings back the feeling of life when nothing else can." In our films, we use the favourite music tracks of the star and if regularly watched or listened to, the music can help them recall memories, which improves cognitive ability over time.
Secondly, music allows dementia patients to tap into two of the last remaining abilities that they have. Linda Maguire, lead author on one of the studies wrote, "Musical aptitude and music appreciation are two of the last remaining abilities in patients with Alzheimer's." Therefore, music is a great way to connect with a person living with dementia, even in the later stages of the disease.
Thirdly, listening to music and singing actively stimulates both halves of the brain. When listening to music, one often begins to sing along to the tune or the words and while listening to music activates the left side of the brain, singing actives the right-hand side. Henceforth, patients display more cognitive ability than usual.
Fourthly, music can alter patients emotions for the better. The Alzheimer's Foundation of America states that "When music therapy is used appropriately, music can shift mood, manage stress-induced agitation, stimulate positive interactions, facilitate cognitive function and coordinate motor movements."
Finally, music allows dementia patients to share emotions with caregivers and family members. Music often invites people to dance, which can lead to more intimate relationships of touching and hugging. This allows patients to feel secure and lets them to open up.

Is it a hidden and unpolished jewel?
Small section of South Division needs changes to meet its huge potential.
When Gibbs Planning Group Principal Robert Gibbs inspected three blocks of South Division Avenue last summer, he saw this small portion of the Heartside Business District as being economically challenged and with too many commercial buildings that were either vacant or underutilized.
Gibbs found only eight existing stores on that short stretch, with one being a restaurant, just a few blocks from a core commercial area. Still, he called the avenue's tract from Oakes to Williams streets one of downtown's most promising sectors.
In the report he delivered to the Grand Rapids Downtown Development Authority, Gibbs felt this tiny commercial district could support from 25 to 30 new shops and restaurants across 77,140 square feet of space.
Some of the new businesses he envisioned were a hardware store, food market, limited-service restaurants, apparel and shoe stores, a lawn and garden store and a sporting goods store. Gibbs said the additional retail could generate up to $34 million in annual sales in just five years. But then he added a caveat.
"The 77,140 square feet total of new commercial is sustainable only if the district adopts urban planning and retail industry management practices."
The planning and practices, he said, are necessary components for business growth there because the sector has underperformed for "numerous nonmarket reasons." Those include a concentration of subsidized housing with a lack of market-rate housing, aggressive panhandling, limited access to capital, poor management, limited parking, vagrancy and a general shortfall of modern business practices by its retailers and restaurants.
Gibbs said 15,000 vehicles pass through the commercial sector daily, and the larger trade area is roughly 75,000 people in 27,200 households within a two-mile radius of those blocks. He also reported that the average household income in the district's trade area is $38,900.
He felt retail traffic could be drawn from Catholic Central High School, the Douglas J. Aveda Institute and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts. Other customers could come from Saint Mary's Health Care, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital and Ladies Literary Club.
The DDA hired the Gibbs Planning Group, which is based in Birmingham, Mich., for $83,000 last spring to conduct a retail analysis of the Central Business District. The report divides downtown into four sectors, with South Division being one, and projects the CBD can support from 120 to 150 new retail shops and restaurants over 481,160 square feet of commercial space.
Next time: The Ionia-Commerce corridor.

He may have a place in the Real Madrid team and the hearts of every Welsh football fan but now Gareth Bale has what many men aspire to – his own pub.
Elevens Bar & Grill - a partnership between Bale and Cardiff based brewer and pubco Brains - opened last week.
It comes complete with a stack of memorabilia including Bale's boots from the 2014 Champions League final, football shirts from Pele and Maradona and items from global icons such as Rory McIlroy, Andy Murray, LeBron James and Conor McGregor.
It also features 23 television screens over two floors to show the biggest live sporting events.
Bale is due to host an official launch event following the conclusion of the football season – which could see him picking up a Champions League winners medal in Cardiff on June 3.
Elevens will serve a menu featuring burgers, pizzas and steak and a drinks menu that includes Bale Ale. Bale doesn't drink alcohol but he visited Brains' Cardiff Brewery earlier in the year to learn about the brewing process and select the ingredients for his new Bale Ale, as well as some bespoke glassware.
Brains chairman John Rhys said: "We are delighted to be working with Gareth and his team in a unique partnership between two of Cardiff and Wales' most famous products."
"Elevens Bar & Grill is the result of close teamwork between us, with Gareth involved in every decision in the development process from the glassware and staff clothing to the signature burger and the specially-brewed Bale Ale.
"Together we have created a great place to enjoy quality food and drink surrounded by money-can't-buy sporting memorabilia. And when it comes to watching sport, every major event will be shown on the latest flat screen technology. With the ability to show up to six different events on our 23 screens at any one time, there isn't a bad seat in the house."

I've been very contemplative about a lot of issues as of late. The one thing that I've noticed is that people on either side of any issue will have a knee jerk reaction causing things like name calling, immediate disregard for open and civil conversation, and creation of a sort of mob mentality (rallying those supporting their view to a cry for action against the "other").
I'm struggling to understand why people become so hard-line in their beliefs, or why people can't even fathom coming to some sort of resolution that benefits both parties in some way. We seem to be perfectly fine with open name calling and slanderous behaviour so long as it benefits our cause, but we teach our children that things like bullying is wrong. We teach them in church to love one another, yet in an online forum, we spread rumours and lies to tear down those we view as our opponents in things we are passionate about. We are quick to place blame on others, but never look within to ask "is it I?".
I know that contention over various issues political and non political are more complex than just agreeing with the other side or trying to find a middle ground. I know I'm over generalizing things but it just seems that there is an overall lack of humanity or civility in an ever shrinking world.
I suppose it is the prophecy that "For behold, at that day shall he rage in the hearts of the children of men, and stir them up to anger against that which is good". I know that we are living in those times right now and whether you're religious or not, I just wonder where we will end up if we continue down this road that we are travelling on…

June 2 is a holiday here celebrating Italy's vote to oust the monarchy. It also marks the first time women voted in this country. This year Italy celebrates the 150th anniversary of its unification as one nation, so it's been an unusually patriotic year.
The holiday has the usual patriotic trappings with the laying of a wreath on the tomb of the unknown and other formal events. The highlight, as always, is a military parade. Many unexpected groups are considered military here, ranging from firefighters to meteorologists to the Red Cross. They all have a spot in the parade.
The festivities begin with the unfurling of an enormous flag (50 x 30 meters, about 164 x 98 feet) on the Colosseum. Fifty firefighters are required to manage this operation, including twenty who are spaced along the bottom of the furled banner and rappel their way down the wall, keeping the flag flat and even. This red, white, and green draped Colosseum serves as the backdrop for the parade which wends its way down the Via dei Fori Imperiali past a reviewing stand above the forums.
This year, people wearing replicas of many historic uniforms marched, including nurses wearing World War I flowing skirts and headdresses. The Bersaglieri, one of my favorite groups, always wear their historic headgear in parades and at other formal occasions. An elite group of sharpshooters, they are most famous historically for storming Porta Pia and ultimately ending papal rule and unifying Italy. They wear helmets with grouse feathers hanging from the side and they always jog instead of march. Even the brass band jogs and plays with the feathers bouncing in tune.
My other favorite is the Carabinieri mounted police band. Their formal uniforms are covered with elaborate braids and embroidery. A wide red stripe runs down the pant leg. They wear Napoleon-style hats topped with a red and white plume. All the musicians ride white horses. Like other mounted regiments, they come at the end of the parade so no one has to walk through the horse droppings.
The finale is a flyover by the Frecce Tricolori (tricolor arrows), a nine-plane aerobatics team. They do their pre-parade maneuvers in my neighborhood, so I get to watch them turn and twist around as they await the signal to proceed to the parade route. I trot back and forth from balcony to television. When the TV commentator announces that the frecce are coming, I hear one last roar overhead then seconds later see them fly over the Colosseum emitting their characteristic red, white, and green vapor trail.
Not the Fourth of July, but a nice holiday nonetheless.

Generally speaking, stage 3 kidney failure is the moderate decline in kidney function. And they need to take measures as soon as possible to prevent further damage. While, patients are wondering that is there anything we can do to cure stage 3 kidney failure in Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Kidney failure means that the kidney can not achieve the function as it should do, which indicates that there are several diseased kidney cells or even dead kidney cells and tissues in the kidney.

In Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,a series of natural treatments have been adopted to repair the diseased kidney inside kidney. Toxins-Removing Treatment is used to eliminate various toxins and wastes products out of body completely. The reason why toxins and wastes products are eliminated out of body is that the toxins deposited in blood not only make further damage to kidney cells and tissue, but also affect the efficiency of kidney treating medications. To a large degree, eliminating various toxins and wastes products out of body plays a significant role in helping patients repair the diseased kidney.
And then, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is a therapy working to improve kidney function by repairing the diseased cells and tissues inside kidney. This is a external application, which takes the best effect to help the diseased kidney recovered. The herbal medicines contained in this therapy are refined into powder, so as to improve its efficiency. The powder is collected into two medicated bags which are put on your low back area for about 40-50 minutes. Through a way of connecting osmotic machine and two medicated bags, active substances in herbal medicines will come out and then penetrate inside kidney lesions directly along with sufficient blood, oxygen and nutrition. With health and clear environment, the diseased kidney would be repaired naturally.
