Home > Blog > Xtend Life Bee Pollen Supplement Brunei
Of course they do – Xtend-Life delivers worldwide, including Brunei too =)
I've a couple of friends from Brunei, but personally I've never visited there myself and I would love to visit it when I get the chance to.
Xtend-Life is a natural health supplements and skin care company that originated in New Zealand and is highly regulated by United States Food & Drugs Administration (US FDA), Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), New Zealand Ministry of Health (MOH) and British Pharmacopeia.
They have been around for a long time, since 1998, and they deliver everywhere in the world, including Brunei.
You want them to deliver your Xtend Life Bee Pollen supplement to your workplace or your home?
Xtend-Life delivers to anywhere in Brunei – be it in Buau, Teraja, Labi, Bukit Puan, Kuala Belait, Seria, Liang / Sungei Liang, Kukub, Tarunan, Kampung Pengkalan Dong, Kampung Bukit Beruang, Kampung Serambungan, Tutong, Kampung Sinaut, Limau Manis, Parit, Kampung Bengkurong, Bandar Seri Begawan, Binturan, Sengkurong B, Jerudong, Pulau Berambang, Kampung Ayer, Sungai Tilong, Lambak Kanan, Serasa, Muara and even Pulau Muara Besar.
Xtend-Life delivers to you, wherever you may be in Brunei (or in the world). Search below to find which natural health supplements or skin care products is most suitable for you.
As Brunei's foods may not be the healthiest – think ayam penyet, ketupat, ambuyat, roti with rich curry, or rice with rich curry, roti kuning / cucur, zhi ma kway tiao, hati buyah, ayam tongkeng, pulut panggang, Kuih Melaya, Samboi, Belutak, Pais, Daging Lala, satay and more – that's why I recommend that Bruneians and people who live in Brunei should supplement with natural health supplements.
I wish you the best of health and wellness.
If you could find the best bee pollen supplement packed with the most proven nutrients and one that drastically could benefit your health – would you be interested?
In the last decade, bee pollen supplements have become more and more popular due to increasing research and consumers becoming more health conscious. Unfortunately, many unscrupulous companies and health marketers hype their products to be the best, even when it is not possible for their products to benefit our health!
In actual fact, there are many considerations that we as consumers must be aware of before purchasing and consuming any health product. The truth is, not all health supplements are created equal and that goes the same for bee pollen products too.
Many health supplements that is available in the market today (and not just bee pollen) contains traces of various toxins and contaminants in them. Just for that alone, many health products can actually worsen your health.
What's even worse is that many bee pollen supplements on the market have been found to not contain the ingredients stated on the label!
That is terrible!
So it falls upon us as health conscious consumers to know that although this natural substance can greatly improve our health, many of the products currently being sold are not under any strict quality control. Meaning to say that there is no guarantee to say that you are actually getting pure bee pollen, or pure anything for that matter.
This also means that even if you did choose and buy a well known brand of bee derived capsules from a fairly-well known shop/company, the type of pollen being sold in these common products will not deliver its true benefits.
In fact, they could actually make your health worse over time because:
A low quality bee pollen supplement that has been heat-dried and sourced from countries with high pollution, will simply not give you the health benefits you are looking for.
Even if the quality of bee pollen source is good, if it's poorly managed or heat dried – it'd end up not good too. Read more on the three "trinity" of good and effective high quality bee pollen supplements later below.
To truly enjoy the far-reaching health benefits of nature's most complete food and to find the absolute best pollen supplement on the market, you need to know the facts about this wonder food and the industry as a whole.
Health benefits of bee pollen are truly far-reaching and it's been proven by many health experts and research. Bee pollen is known as an effective immune booster and one of the best ways to achieve a sound nutritional regime.
Also, pollen from the bee has been shown to increase sexual health and sexual functions in both men and women. It stimulates our organs, as well as our glands and has shown to improve the natural increase on a person's lifespan.
Studies on bee pollen on weight loss and appetite has also found that this little-known superfood can help suppress our appetite (because of lecithin and because it's highly nutritious) and be used as an effective, all natural weight loss alternative to the more dangerous products constantly being sold in the market.
Another important health fact about high quality bee pollen supplement is that it is rich in highly potent and active antioxidants. The antioxidants in bee pollen are compounds known as flavonoids.
Bee pollen contains myricetin, quercetin, rutin, and trans-cinnamic acid.
Let's take a look at what these compounds can do for you.
The main benefits of myricetin helps to decrease and remove "bad" LDL cholesterol out of our bloodstream by working synergistically and closely with our white blood cells.
Quercetin is an all-natural antihistamine that has a few benefits, including helping to keep your allergic reactions in check (specific types) and keep your body's reaction and immunity in tip top condition.
Rutin helps to strengthen and fortify the veins throughout our body and has been said to prevent cancer as well.
Our bodies uses its own process to make its own antibiotics and antibodies, and this proven high-powered nutrient increases detoxifying processes of our liver.
Bee pollen's popularity is increasing as
more and more dog owners and breeders are recognizing its great
potential. It contains many healing components and has been used for
centuries as a source of nourishment. Today it is used not only for
achieving better human health, but also to improve the health of our
canine friends.
Alicia McWatters, Ph.D
It is very good for people who are combating / recovering from illnesses or those who have a hectic lifestyle at work/as parents and are struggling to find time to take care of themselves properly
(I take bee pollen supplements to help me cope with raising young babies/children, handle multiple businesses and manage a 7-figure physiotherapy business as well as my publishing and affiliate businesses – it helps me a lot)
It's not just me and my friends who have benefited from taking bee pollen for health benefits – hundreds of thousands and millions have personally benefited from bee pollen (see customer and user testimonials here) but if their success stories are not enough for you (good to do your research) and take a look at the following studies and results:
Antioxidants – PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine
Enlarged prostate – PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine
Allergies – PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine
Athletic performance – PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine
Cancer Study – PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine
Bee Pollen on Wikipedia
We have a lot of deciding power when it comes to our health, because we can and we are the ones who can choose what gets put into our body.
In fact, this is one of the most important understanding that we need to have: what we put into our bodies be it what we read, what we hear, what we think and what we eat.
What we eat is one of the very important choices we have, and one we make each and every day. We only have one given body in this life, and if we don't take care of it, then who will?
Side note: the reason why I take high quality health supplements, exercise, meditate and exercise daily is because I want to have good health not just because I can be healthy, but because I want to be around for my family, my wife, my children, my businesses – for as long as I can, in a healthy manner =)
It is vital that you know what you are putting in your body. Please don't waste your money and your health by filling your body with all sorts of junk and artificial flavorings and preservatives (or supplements that are poorly manufactured and has contaminants in them).
These substances won't help you in the long run. In fact, they will slowly contaminate your body/systems and overload your organs…unhealthily.
If you are starting or already started to take healthy, energy-sustaining foods and drinks, you are on the road to a healthier and longer life.
A high quality bee pollen supplement will help cover any gaps in your nutrition, and will increase your energy and improve your overall health and well-being.
Local industry is a major contributing factor on the quality of the pollen.
The environment that surrounds the flowers, plants and bee/beehive are very important factors.
Pollen that is sourced near industrialized areas/large factories and highly populated areas always tests positive for traces of heavy metals and airborne pollution.
Because of that, you need to do your research and choose a high grade pollen source.
Please do not ever settle for anything less than pharmaceutical grade when it comes to any health supplement.
This is to ensure that you and your loved ones/friends are receiving what is actually stated on the product label, and that all contaminants have been removed.
By using a high quality bee pollen supplement, you will find an improvement in your energy levels, mental clarity and a general feeling of well-being.
The highest pollen quality comes only from New Zealand. This country receives fresh winds that blow in from Antarctica. As you probably realize, there is minimal pollution or industry sectors or population from that continent.
Moreover, the other winds that come to New Zealand don't gather pollution from elsewhere either, as they're pretty isolated from the rest of the world (in a good way).
You've got to make sure you purchase from a natural source and that the product you are consuming is using only and 100% fresh bee pollen, and not an imposter or synthetic version of the real substance. Your health will thank you for this down the road.
Xtend Life Customer Reviews And Comments:
I highly recommend this Xtend Life Bee Pollen Natural Energy Supplement due to the natural qualities and ability to give me the energy needed especially in the draining summer heat. It's the only thing that gets me through the season.
It doesn't replace though the need to determine the cause of low energy but overall as we know the older we get the loss of hormones, etc, this would definitely help if it can't be determined.
Naomi E, July 2016
Even though the most natural, unpolluted and potent bee pollen comes from New Zealand, but, there are some side effects that we as health-conscious consumers need to be aware of.
These side effects are very, very rare and more often than not – unheard of.
A handful of people across the world experience some negative side effects, including sneezing, coughing, itching. In an even smaller and rarer event, if you know you have allergies to bee venom/sting, please do not consume bee pollen.
Note: high quality bee pollen supplements do not contain bee venom/sting (100% bee pollen only), but people with allergies to bee venom should be extra careful.
Some other reported side effects also includes an upset/unsettled stomach, nausea, chest tightness – all of which are very rare and only a very small number of individuals get those side effects.
Pregnant or lactating women should be careful when planning to consume or already consuming bee pollen to avoid any of these side effects to her or the baby.
That being said, many pregnant women swear by bee pollen during their own pregnancy, but it is always safe to play by caution in pregnancy.
When my wife was 3+ month pregnant, I brought my Xtend Life Bee Pollen Natural Energy Supplement to the gynae to ask if my wife could take it as she was feeling very tired and nauseous.
He looked through the product label, read and re-read and said that "he doesn't see anything that's bad for pregnancy there" and allowed the taking of the bee pollen supplement.
Founder & Editor
I always advise all my readers, bee pollen consumers-to-be, patients, family and friends to get professional medical advice before starting any kind of supplement regime.
Sadly, many companies that sell health supplements are just traders and could care less for quality and the consumers.
They just buy the raw ingredients in bulk at wholesale prices, put them into bottles, slap a label and off it goes to make money.
More often than not, quality control is missing or pathetic.
I am not kidding.
Google search "OEM manufacturers" and "product" and you can easily find. There are many health companies that do this and even get away with it, and in the end, who pays the price?
That's right: people like you, me, your family, your friends – who buy them and use them.
We pay for substandard products with our hard-earned money, and yet these products are not good but downright detrimental for our health because they contain contaminants.
So many health supplements today when audited and tested, do not contain what is stated on the product label. In fact, often many health products has "fillers" to add bulk, and these can be downright nasty: think sand, silica and more.
And this goes the same…unfortunately, to many bee pollen supplements available in the marketplace today.
A company you can trust will guarantee you purity, quality and ongoing customer satisfaction (Xtend Life has been around since year 2000, and that speaks volumes about their customer satisfaction that goes back to 2000)
Another thing to add: gram for gram, bee pollen is more nutritious in nutrients, proteins, enzymes compared to any meats (beef/poultry/fish) or plant based foods. This leads to the next queston:
There are certain considerations that relate specifically to bee pollen supplements that are sold on the market. You, as the discerning consumer should always ask:
High quality bee pollen supplements contain high concentrations of the entire B vitamin complex, as well as vitamins A, C, D, and E in optimal dosages.
Their nutritional profile has a composition of around 35% protein, 55% carbohydrates, 2% fatty acids, and 3% minerals and essential antioxidant vitamins.
Because of vitamin B complex's role as a catalyst in the energy-releasing thermogenic processes, bee pollen supplement is often used both as weight loss AND to increase natural energy and vitality.
It's also often used as an immunity and immune system booster, and improve the liver's detoxification process in our body.
Why I say this again and again is because this point is so important: it is vital that your bee pollen is collected from a natural and clean area. For example, pollen that is collected in the USA is generally found to contain traces of airborne pollution, heavy metals, pesticides and other toxins.
China is another country that is known for high industry pollution and lack of quality control, and pollen from their country too contain traces of airborne pollution, heavy metals, pesticides and other toxins.
You should stay away from bee products being sold containing pollen that is sourced from either of these countries. Unfortunately…there is an enormous amount of bee pollen being sold on the market today contains bee pollen that was collected from these two countries.
The best place for your source of bee pollen is only found in the pure, pristine and preserved New Zealand. My visit and constant long-and-deep research as well as countless comparisons since 2014 has confirmed this again and again and again.
Generally large parts of New Zealand is virtually pure, untainted and truly pristine and have conditions that are vitally important when selecting a high quality bee pollen supplement.
Also, because New Zealand is so scarcely populated (truly there is so much more land, cows and sheep here compared to humans), the country is not highly industrialized, and this leads to the bees have the perfect breeding ground and the flowers having unpolluted and clean environments.
This means that the bees can create bee pollen naturally without the known side effects that occur due to pollution on the pollen.
Bee pollen is the only food which
contains every essential nutrient needed by mankind for perfect health.
This fact can hardly be disputed since it has been proved by analysis in
the laboratories of the world many times.
Dr. Betty Lee Morales
There has been many random product sample tests that shows that many of bee pollen from China and bee pollen products from US to be contaminated – bear these in mind and avoid health products that contain bee pollen from these specific countries.
It has also been reported that one of the most common brands on the market – "Zi Xiu Tang Bee Pollen Capsules" contains a hidden drug ingredient called – sibutramine, that was removed from the market in October 2010 for safety reasons.
Read more about this here: Public Notification: "Zi Xiu Tang Bee Pollen Capsules" Contains Hidden Drug Ingredient
So to keep costs low and profit margins high, many companies unfortunately choose to use lower quality bee pollen and try to pull/pass it off as super health food.
Yes, these companies may make a lot more money from people's misinformed approach to buying inferior products, and people either have to take much higher doses to experience some benefit and buy a lot more of the inferior pollen product to notice any form of health benefits.
It is not a good thing for consumers, and I'd not wish that upon any of my readers, or myself, or my friends and family.
Truth of the matter is this: the best and most potent bee pollen is found only in New Zealand.
Xtend Life Bee Pollen harvests their bee pollen from a very protected area in pristine New Zealand, in a place where the air is very pure and the harvested bee pollen is guaranteed to be 100% without airborne pollution and contaminants.
Key benefits and advantages of using bee pollen that is harvested from a pure source is that the final product is highly potent and nutrient dense, on top of being 100% free from pollution and contaminants.
Most bee pollen supplements on the market focus on boosting ones energy, and generally only for the short term. So what happens is these manufacturers slam huge amounts of bee pollen in to their products.
Their unrefined and unresearched theory is that the more used, the better the energy effects will be. However, many of these products on the market only contain granules. The result is that much of the pollen passes through the digestive system intact.
This is because bee pollen is a very hard substance for us to digest. In the process, few ingredients are actually released in to our system to benefit us.
The above absorption problem has been overcome by a company known as Xtend Life.
Their bee pollen formula processes the pollen in a unique way. The method involves breaking down the 100% fresh bee pollen and then infusing it over a short period with special enzymes that not only preserve close to 100% all the far-reaching benefits of pollen, but also enhance the whole absorption process making it far more digestible and releasing far more health benefits.
To further enhance the efficacy of the supplement, special blends of other potent natural ingredients have been included such as ginseng that works synergistically with bee pollen.
Xtend Life Bee Pollen Natural Energy gives you all the full health benefits of bee pollen without contaminating you or your loved ones with toxins/contaminants. The reason for this is because it's 100% natural, unique and where it's harvested:
New Zealand is highly preserved and pristine with no factories or industrialization, with very highly regulations by New Zealand's Ministry of Health and located near the south pole makes the air super pure and clean (this means that bees, flowers, pollen – all are pure because of this).
To add to this, Xtend Life also adds in specially formulated and 100% natural – and more importantly – synergistic enzymes which works to enhance the health benefits of bee pollen.
This increases the nutrient potency of pollen, and it also allows the nutrients to be quickly and fully assimilated by your body almost immediately.
So if you or if you know someone who is struggling/lives a hectic and stressful life, is going through/recovering from illnesses, or want to increase your energy, then I invite and recommend you to consider taking Xtend Life Bee Pollen Natural Energy for its bee pollen health benefits as a supplement.
If you're worried or unsure about your (and your loved ones and friends) health and wellness, be assured that bee pollen is nature's natural super food answer to overall lack of energy, poor immune system and many other health issues.
You and your family deserve to have good energy, feel healthy and well, and bee pollen is very suitable for those who want to improve their health, vitality and well being.
I recommend you to start taking of you and your loved ones health today to help increase energy, fight infections/diseases by trying Xtend Life Bee Pollen Natural Energy.
To add to that, Xtend Life is so confident in their bee pollen product that they have a 100% full 1 year money back guarantee – that's 365 days to try to see if it'd truly help you. If you're not satisfied, return it within one year and get a full refund – which other company does that?
I've personally taken their bee pollen supplement since 2014, and am still taking till today for the health benefits it brings me. I highly recommend high quality bee pollen supplementing to anyone who is looking to increase their energy, boost their immune system and improve their overall health and well-being.

What is a via ferrata?A via ferrata (or 'iron road' in Italian, plural via ferrate) is a mountain path consisting of a series of rungs, rails and cables embracing the rock face. It allows access to scenic sections of the mountains that are typically available only to rock climbers and mountaineers. The excitement, scenic beauty and personal conquest you'll experience on a via ferrata is guaranteed to give you an invigorating nostalgic experience for years to come.
There are more than 300 via ferrata routes around the world predominantly in Italy, Germany, France, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland and Spain, and a few places in the United States and Canada. The world's highest via ferrata, Mountain Torq - which also happens to be Asia's first - can now be found on Mt Kinabalu in the east Malaysian state of Sabah.
HistoryThe first via ferrate were built in the Dolomite mountain region of northern Italy during the First World War, to aid the movement of military troops. In 1917, the Italians (as part of the alliance formed by Britain, France and Russia) were fighting a ferocious war with the Austrians in the Dolomites. Amidst harsh winter conditions and an escalating casualty toll, both sides tried to gain control of the peaks to site observation posts and field guns. To help troops move about at high altitude, permanent lines were fixed to rock faces and ladders were installed so that soldiers could ascent steep faces. These were the first via ferrate.
In 1936, the first via ferrata created for tourists was built by the Italian Alpine Club (a club that traditionally promotes mountaineering). Today the Dolomites probably still have the greatest number of via ferrate. The wartime networks of via ferrate have been restored and many new routes added. Steel cables have replaced the ropes and iron ladders and metal rungs have taken the place of flimsy wooden constructions used by the Italian troops.
An activity for everyoneToday, the via ferrata is devised to give people with little or no climbing experience access to rock faces normally reached by mountaineers and rock climbers. At Mountain Torq, the world's highest and Asia's first via ferrata, routes are designed with beginner to intermediate climbers in mind. The beginner's route will let the climber take their first experience along the granite walls of Mt Kinabalu, while the intermediate routes will take the climber on 3 - 4 hour journeys to experience the mountain's breathtaking heights and sights. The diversity of via ferrata routes means there is something for everyone - whether he or she is 10 or 70, a keen mountaineer or a casual holidaymaker. Mountain Torq has a via ferrata route to match everyone's ability and endurance.
Pendant Hut @ 3,289m a.s.l.
Exclusively for Mountain Torq's climbers, this cosy and eco-friendly Alpine-inspired hut houses guests in a dormitory-style setting or a private room for 4. Located 3,289m above sea level (a.s.l.), there is easy access to Mountain Torq's activities from Pendant Hut. From here you can try to spot your Via Ferrata pals on the Panar Laban rock face!
"Pendant Hut is slightly more basic (no heat – although climbers sleep in uber-warm sleeping bags), however, there's a bit of a summer camp vibe here" (Lonely Planet, 2010). Here you can enjoy your post midnight supper and American breakfasts, relax at the comfortable lounge area, pick up a climbing book at our mini alpine library or have fun playing board games. For dinner and other meal options, Laban Rata's canteen is but a short walk away.

There is no age limit for who can climb Mount Kinabalu, as long as you are in good shape, good health status or you have sought approval from your doctor if you are on any medication. Amazing Borneo Tours has served thousands of climbers ranging from 7 to 80 years old. We do however, suggest young children to be at least 10 years old due to numerous steps and steep slopes. Similarly, elderly climbers need to be in good health and fitness level to attempt the climb.
Climbing Mount Kinabalu involves several flights of stairs, just being equipped with a good pair of trekking shoes, waterproof jacket, head torch and gloves is enough to get you far. Anyone reasonably fit and healthy can scale, hike, trek and climb with confidence. Regular exercises will give you an added edge in attempting a successful climb.
It takes a minimum of 2 Days and 1 Night to scale Mount Kinabalu. Day 1 kicks off bright and early via Timpohon Gate, a 5 to 7 hour brings you up to 11'000 feet above sea level for an overnight stay. The second day is slightly more to the technical side – there are parts where you will need to hold onto ropes at an angle of about 15 – 20 degrees inclination. If you are able to climb a flight of 12 story staircase up and down few times in a day with not much difficulties, that's good enough to prepare you for Mount Kinabalu.
The effects of Altitude Sickness or Acute Mountain Syndrome (AMS) differs for every individual, regardless of fitness level. Climbers may experience light-headedness or mild headaches, while some climbers will suffer from nausea or vomiting. The symptoms vary, but it includes dizziness, fatigue, confusion, difficulty walking and feeling extremely ill. If you seem to be experiencing any of these symptoms, stop doing any physical exertion immediately and be sure to take deep breathe. The most important tip is to keep yourself hydrated. Return to a lower elevation if you are suffering badly and the symptoms do not subside. Seek medical assistance from your guide and he will advise you where to move on from here.
Three (03) Important Rules to Remember:
- Drink a lot of fluids to keep hydrated.
- Acclimatize to altitude gradually by spending a night at highland areas before the day of your ascend.
- Avoid rapid ascents. Trek at a normal pace and rest at shelters along the way. It is advisable to rest longer for acclimatization at Layang Layang hut (2702M a.s.l).
You may want to take altitude sickness tablets, Acetazolamide (Diamox) as a prophylaxis. This drug has the effect of increasing acclimatization rates; improving periodic breathing; and helping climbers to recover from AMS more quickly. Please note that Diamox is a prescription drug and a doctor should be consulted about proper dosages. You would also want to purchase a portable oxygen inhaler bar, which helps with AMS. The main cause of these sicknesses is a lack of oxygen; breathing oxygen with the aid of the inhaler will slow their onset and may provide some temporary relief of symptoms. This is extremely useful to all climbers regardless of your fitness level.
Most of the trail leading up towards Panalaban base camp consists of proper tracks with steps, therefore, it should not be affected too much during bad weather. Also, there are several shelters along the 6 KM track.
The main concern falls on the Low's Peak summit Climb that kicks off at 2am where on occasions when it rains badly with strong wind, the climb to the summit would be stalled or probably cancelled depending on how extreme the bad weather is. In most cases, when the weather is bad and the summit is not declared officially closed by Sabah Park Authority, climbers can still scurry the ascent once they sign the indemnity form on the spot as requested by the Park Rangers.
Final decision still lies with the Sabah Park official should they decide to close the summit for safety reasons. Anyway based on average statistics, total closure of the summit climb happens about 10 - 15 times a year.
There will be no refund if the summit or Via Ferrata activity is closed. Such cases is due to the Act of GOD and also for the safety of climbers. Generally, you could still ascend to Panalaban base camp and overnight with meals inclusive.
If injured or fallen sick during the climb,immediately inform your mountain guide. He will assess your condition and determine whether you should continue trekking or be sent back to Kinabalu Park HQ. An emergency rescue team will be on alert and they will be responsible for carrying the badly sick/injured down at no charge.
As for minor injuries or other reasons, you can be charged Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 300/KM for the porter team to stretcher/carry you down or up the mountain. Not all such cases can be claimed under the Sabah Park climber personal insurance. You are advised to purchase your own travel insurance separately for better coverage.
Mt. Kinabalu region is a no-fly zone. Even in many emergency cases that involve life threatening situation, helicopter services may not be engaged. This is because the low visibility in the area could pose a potential risk to the lives of the pilots & passengers as the climate changes every moment without warning. Visibility can be near zero and there is a risk of helicopter hitting trees.
Provision of Sabah Parks Climber's Personal Accident Insurance by PIB Premium:
Death Due to Accident Only / Total Disablement as a Result of An Accident
- Age Between 13 to 75 Years RM50,000 Per Climber
- Age Below 13 And Above 75 Years RM30,000 Per Climber
- Medical Expenses Per Accident
- Age Between 13 to 75 Years RM5,000 Per Climber
- Age Below 13 And Above 75 Years RM2,000 Per Climber
- Repatriation Expenses of Remains RM2,000
Note: As the default claim value is limited and may takes up to 2 months to process. It is advisable for climbers to purchase separate travel insurance in your own country for a better coverage.
- Walking up hills and staircases or any cardiovascular workout for at least 2 to 4 weeks before the day of your climb should be enough to get you in shape for the climb
- Shoes are most definitely necessary for climbing Mount Kinabalu. Sandals, slippers and bare foots are NOT allowed and you will be denied ascent to the summit by Sabah Parks rangers or your mountain guides if you are not wearing shoes. We also strongly recommend you to bring a head torch for your own safety. There is a high chance that you will be denied ascent from Panalaban base camp to the summit without a head torch.
- There is luggage storage service which is chargeable at Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 12 per piece available at the Kinabalu Park Headquarters. Luggage claim tags will be given where you will need to produce them after your climb.
- There are no longer heated facilities in Panalaban assorted huts, except Laban Rata Resthouse private room 1, 2 & 3 (ABK-MK02VIP climb packages), due to power cable breakdown in year 2009. Anyway, the temperature inside the huts (Approx. 12-15 degrees Celsius) is still comfortable enough for stay as bed linens and blankets are provided. Sleeping bags are not required. Pendant Hut provides sleeping bags for Via Ferrata climbers.
- Water heaters for shower are only available in Laban Rata Resthouse private room 1, 2 & 3 (ABK-MK02VIP climb packages) and in Pendant Hut (all Via Ferrata climb packages). But be prepared to encounter some electrical failure at times.
- Temperatures inside Laban Rata Resthouse/Pendant Huts can reach to approx 12-15 degree Celsius and at Low's Peak Summit approx -3 to 5 Degree Celsius. We suggest climbers to have at least 4 layers of clothing including windbreaker for summit ascend.
Please inform us upon confirmation of your booking if you may require a porter. A porter can be arranged to standby at Kinabalu Park HQ on the morning of your climb to assist you. All payments are made directly to the porters in cash
Porter Fee (OPTIONAL)
|Weight (kg)
|Timpohon - Panalaban
|Panalaban - Timpohon
|Timpohon - Sayat Sayat
|Sayat Sayat - Timpohon
|Timpohon - Summit
|Summit - Timpohon
** Maximum weight is 10 Kgs and additional weight will be charged based on daily rate per Kg
** Rates stated are for reference purposes only. Please confirm with porters on their day of services.
** All payments are made directly to the porters in cash.
Porters will carry your belongings and walk non-stop to Panalaban base camp and wait for your arrival. They will not trek together with you nor wait for you at each stop. Therefore, please do not ask them to carry items that are considered handy to you during your climb.
The best tip is to pack 2 separate bags; one is for the porter to carry straight to Panalaban, the other personal bag containing your necessities (e.g. water, lunch pack, energy bars) will be carried by you throughout the climb. Remember to keep it light.
- Staying hydrated throughout the climb is most vital. Most climbers actually need about 1.5L-2L from Timpohon to Panalaban. It may be less than you think you would need. This may due to the humidity and passing shower along the trek. Anyway, a 500ML drinking water will be provided in your packed lunch. A refillable water bottle is useful as you can refill unlimited supply of drinking water at Laban Rata Resthouse/Pendant hut.
- There is natural spring water stored in tanks that can be found along some rest-stops. However, the untreated water may not be suitable for weak stomach. You can consider bringing your own water purification tablets or simply stick to your bottled water.
- The packed lunch includes a balanced diet of proteins, carbohydrates, and a fruit (e.g. sandwich, fried chicken, local snack, hard-boiled egg, apple) and a bottle of 500ML mineral water. The packed lunch will differ periodically and you may wish to bring additional food of your own.
- Standard vegetarian menu is based on ovo-lacto vegetarians. It can be easily accommodated in most areas, options typically leave out the meat rather than adding vegetarian mainstays such as tofu, beans, or nuts. Vegetarianism is a concept our country is still learning to fully grasp. Please note that unfortunately, the operator cannot guarantee that special requirements can always be met for other types of vegetarians. In tour packages where meals are served buffet/set menu style, we suggest that you leave out the meat or other things you do not eat.
- Via Ferrata is not the same as rock climbing. Although they both occur in the same area and the same environment, via ferrata climbing is easier than rock climbing and do not require you to have any previous experience.
- Climbers and non-climbers aged between 10 and 70 who are fit and healthy, not afraid of heights, and want to experience the mountain in a whole new way. Oh and by the way, you also have to be at least 1.3m tall
- If you can climb a ladder, you can climb Mount Kinabalu Via Ferrata.
- Walk The Torq will be the best option for beginners. If you would like to participate in the world highest Via Ferrata which is the Guinness World Record holder, Low's Peak Circuit will surely be the choice.
- All Via Ferrata climbers are required to attend the mandatory pre-activity briefing and familiarization session. The sessions start between 3pm and 4pm. Late arrivals will not be considered eligible to participate in the activity the next morning. This is for your own safety, be it if you are a first time climber or an experienced mountaineer.
- There will not be any refund/compensation given if you miss or skip the Via Ferrata activity due to various reasons such as personal, health, bad weather, summit closure & etc. Amazing Borneo do not and never profit from such situations.
- You and your group will be assigned a Via Ferrata trainer. The trainers are there to give you a full safety briefing and training on how to use the safety devices. They are also there to climb with you, provide tips on how to negotiate the more difficult obstacles, as well as highlight some of the spectacular sights along the way.
- Due to Sabah Parks' regulations, Via Ferrata climbers are to be accompanied by a Via Ferrata trainer at all times.
- Depending on the size of your group, you will have to be prepared to join other Via Ferrata climbers.
- There will be a maximum of 6 climbers for Low's Peak Circuit and 10 for Walk the Torq.
- The start time is between 5:30am to 7:30am.
- On the day of your arrival, the trainers will meet you at Pendant Hut where you will undergo a mandatory briefing and familiarization session starting between 3pm and 4pm. There, you will be told the exact meeting point and meeting times for the activities that you've signed up for and a practical session with the full Via Ferrata safety gear will be provided
- Via Ferrata Activity Package Includes:
Free rental of all safety devices: harness, lanyard and helmet
Via Ferrata familiarisation for all participants
Guiding services of the Via Ferrata trainers
- Via Ferrata activities are carried out under a safe and controlled environment.

Lagos, Nigeria, March 21, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes Wednesday's ruling by Togo's Constitutional Court to reject repressive amendments to a media law that granted the state-run media regulator sweeping powers of censorship.
A panel of judges declared that six articles of Togo's 2009 press law, which were amended on February 19 by the ruling party-controlled National Assembly, were inconsistent with the constitution, according to news reports. The constitutional review took place at the request of President Faure Gnassingbe, news reports said. The decision effectively nullifies the new measures.
The amendments had granted the High Authority for Broadcasting and Communication (HAAC), Togo's state-run media regulatory body, the power to, among other actions, summarily shut down news outlets and seize their equipment without a court order. HAAC is composed of nine members, four of whom are directly nominated by Togo's president with the remaining five members nominated by the national assembly, according to CPJ research.
"We welcome Faure Gnassingbe's decision to listen to the concerns expressed by Togo's press and submit these repressive amendments for constitutional review," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita from New York.
Local journalists had publicly protested the amendments by gathering in front of the presidential palace for a peaceful three-day sit-in last week.

Micheal Castaldo's Believe, Heal & Hope concert
This past Sunday night I was treated with an opportunity to be a spectator and audience member at Micheal Castaldo's Believe, Heal & Hope concert. This is something I rarely get the chance to do since my own performance schedule keeps me quite busy and often booked when fellow artists are performing. It was held at Saint Bernard Church-Toronto in support of Caritas and Sharelife. Don Gianni Carparelli, author of the new book 'Ocean Drop – Storia Di Una Goccia' had a poem reading by poet/author Gianna Patriarca. Father Gianni was also on hand after the show sharing delightful stories with a book signing reception. It was a wonderful evening with such a warm, touching and spiritual vibe. Hats off to all who contributed in the celebration, all for a good cause!

Being old is swell. It's the one excuse everybody accepts. Like "I don't eat peas because I'm old and they give me gas," or "I'm too old to walk the Boardwalk" or "I can't go to the grocery, I'm too old" or "I can't bend over to tie my shoes, it hurts my old back." When you're old, you can get away with statements like "I forgot your birthday, guess I'm getting old" or "I'm just too old to shave every day." When you're old, you don't have to return phone calls or hit the deck early every morning or dig the latest suck music or watch the very newest in-television series. You can happily wallow in the proverbial "Old Man, Set In His Ways."
So you're supposed to talk to plants. It stimulates them or something like that. Insider has tried it on occasion but they never answered so the hell with them. The other morning he tried a different approach, some dirty talk. He gave them the classic phone sex talk used back in Insider's military days. They were all peering out the window away from Insider and towards the sun. Nothing. The next morning when he sat for his first morning transfusion, every plant on the window sill as staring straight at him. He had finally gotten their attention.
A new generation is about to descend upon us and with them will come their "word". For some reason, each generation must have it's own word to describe anything they approve of. Currently we are suffering through "cool". Everything from a grand bowel movement to passing marks in high school is cool. Previous generations showed their approval with "I dig" and before that with "right on" and "totally tubular". The old guy's generation never had to bother with dumb words. Back in his day, everything was "swell." Last week Insider overheard some young punks talking and the word "whatever" surfaced quite a bit. Perhaps that's the new word of the newest generation.
The old guy resents having to drink a lunch beverage selected for him by management. Whenever he's told he must drink "Pepsi," he always asks for "Coke," then settles for water. When told he must drink "Coke," he asks for "Pepsi," then settles for water. Occasionally he'll ask for a "Dr. Pepper," but that's his choice, not the management's.

Animal Seizures: The Hidden Racket in 10 Steps
There is an epidemic that has plagued animal owners in the United States for over a decade. It is so insidious that the general public either doesn't know about it or they do and believe it is completely legitimate. The obvious question is how could a specific Racket be so invisible or condoned at the same time? This article exposes the core of how it is done. Readers might find it incredulous at first, but given time and a bit of personal research, it will all make sense.
Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue needs your help. When you install Gumdrop by Goodshop you'll get coupons and deals in real-time, right on the page where you're shopping.

There is a secret cancer eroding the lives of animal lovers and pet owners in Ohio. This deadly abscess is an Illegal Enterprise operating through a pattern of Racketeering; it is called the Ohio Humane Society and its County affiliates. Those groups, who are relied upon to protect animals, instead steal, torment, and, if they can't be sold, kill their helpless charges. The out-of-control criminal behavior of Humane Societies is a hidden national problem. As a former thirty year Assistant United States Attorney prosecuting white collar crime, it is my firm belief that Humane Societies in the United States may be the largest criminal organization in America today.

The kitties at Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue and the staff and volunteers at our no-kill cat sanctuary,
Julius' House, in Concord Township, Ohio, need your help to provide for the
cats in our care.
Founder, Judie Brown being nominated for Cat Hero of the Year
[News Herald article written by Jenny May on 9/26/08]
Press and News Releases:
Cat sanctuary relies on generosity of donors
[News Herald article written by Robin Palmer 4/18/16]
Judie Brown isn't sure who said it, but it pretty much sums things up: "We are not in this for the money, but we need the money to be in it."
Brown and her husband, Tom, created and have operated Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue for more than three decades.
From its humble beginnings of fostering animals, to renting a spot in a veterinary clinic in South Euclid, to having a shelter in Newbury Township, the nonprofit group has called Concord Township home since 2007.
The no-kill cat shelter at 7394 Morley Road houses more than 250 cats, many of which are older and have special needs.
And, it takes a lot of money to not only feed those felines but everything else that goes with running a shelter.
Judie Browns says its costs $20,000 to $25,000 a month.
"We do it on a wing-and-a-pray," Judie Brown says. "The generosity of our donors is what we count on."
For those who donate, here is where your money goes each month:
Currently, Caroline's has an outstanding bill of $21,000 at Lake Animal Hospital.
"Each month there are unexpected expenses that ruin a budget," Brown says. "There is no administrative office staff and I as director am a volunteer and draw no salary."
Browns says besides donors, Caroline's has been seeking corporate sponsors, but "most don't give us the time of day."
"It's about the value of every life. Everyone deserves a chance at life," Browns says of her mission to care for cats. "We're all going to get to that point one day. It's about compassion. Animals are the forgotten ones."
She said one thing is for sure, when you donate to Caroline's Kids, every dollar goes to cat care.
"The dollars go exactly where we say they are going," she says. "Every dollar they give is going to cat care one way or the other. It's not going to a huge CEO or employee or administrative fees. It's not going for what the big organizations take money in for.
"We stand for honesty and integrity. Integrity, that is a big word for us."
Ways to donate to the shelter, include visiting its website at www.Carolines-kids.org. Mail-in donations can be sent to: Caroline's Kids Pet Rescue, P.O. Box 24068, Mayfield Heights, Ohio 44124.
The shelter is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
Also, the shelter has a 24-hour cat cam available on its website.

Squeezing More Out Of Your Home Wireless Network
Share Printer Friendly
Text Size: A A A A
Whether you've just set up your home wireless network or it's been up and running for a while, chances are you're not getting the most out of it. That said, it doesn't take much to squeeze a little more performance out of your wireless network, or to make it a little more secure.
Fiddling with the router
Your wireless router is, obviously, the central component in your home wireless network. Without it ... well, you wouldn't have a network, would you? There are several things you can do with your router to improve the performance.
Tweaking the firmware
One of these is to upgrade your router's firmware. The firmware is the set of programs that's embedded in your router. A firmware update, which you can download from the Web site of your router's manufacturer, contains fixes and new features. In many cases, a firmware update can correct problems and improve performance. But before you download new firmware, make sure that it's for your router. If not, bad things can happen.
Upgrading your router hardware
Don't forget the antenna on your router. It's inexpensive and fairly easy to upgrade. Doing that can extend the coverage of your router. That said, not all routers have antennas.
If you can afford to, consider buying a new and more powerful router. A router that support wireless-N will give you better signal quality and a stronger signal overall. To get the full benefits of wireless-N, the wireless cards in the devices that access your network will also need to support wireless-N.
Upgrading your other hardware
Your router isn't the only piece of the puzzle. The wireless adapter (also called a wireless card) for a laptop computer or desktop computer plays a pretty big role in the efficiency of your network, too. You can have a great transmitter, but if the receiver isn't up to the job then you're not going to get all the benefits of tweaking your network.
The first thing you should do is make sure that your wireless adapter supports the same wireless standard that your router does. The most common standards are wireless-B, wireless-A, wireless-G, and wireless-N. Wireless-G and wireless-N offer the best speed and transmission range for signals.
If your router supports a newer standard — like G or N — but your adapter doesn't, consider replacing the adapter. With desktop computers, the adapter can either be a card that plugs into the back of the computer or one that you can insert into a USB port.
With laptop computers and netbooks, replacing the wireless adapter can be a bit trickier. It could take a bit more dexterity and knowledge of hardware than you have. In that case, consider using a USB wireless adapter. A USB adapter offers better signal strength and if you have one that is connected using a USB cable, you can position the adapter to get the best signal strength.
Anything else?
If you can, make sure that your wireless adapter and router come from the same manufacturer. If, say, you have a Linksys router but a Belkin wireless adapter you will get a connection. But the adapter might not be able to take advantage of some of the features of the router.
Some wireless adapters allow you to tweak what are called transmission power settings. This regulates the strength of the signal that your wireless adapter puts out. How to do this will vary from operating system to operating system. But if you can adjust this setting, try to select the maximum.

Cutler and Gross' creative director on the twin strands of Schiaparelli and the 40s
Monica Chong has been creative director of Cutler and Gross for ten years. Previously a womenswear designer, she is responsible for shaping the brand's visuals, projects and collaborations.
Mr Graham Cutler and Mr Tony Gross founded their company over 40 years ago, and ever since it has been a by-word for optical originality and craftsmanship. Today, the original Knightsbridge shop also operates as the brand's museum, with a bespoke personal order suite, joined by a second space on the same thoroughfare, Cutler and Gross Vintage. Beyond the UK, there are standalone stores in Hong Kong, Canada and the Middle East, as well as fashionable – and the best independent opthalmic – stockists the globe over. Aside from Cutler and Gross' own line, there have been collaborations with the likes of Comme des Garçons, Giles, Maison Martin Margiela and Martyn Bal.
Schiaparelli was the first fashion designer who was clever enough to collaborate with artists. She was very brave, you know – think of the lobster dress, the shoe hat, the telephone compact
Famously worn by Elton John, the style Madonna became synonymous with on an Interview cover, 0866, is Chong's personal favourite, as an ardent fan of cat-eye shapes. Dazed Digital caught up with Chong at the store's bespoke suite to learn of her compelling, longtime obsession...
"My source of inspiration has always been the 40s look, especially Schiaparelli – I'm obsessed and very pleased the house might be brought back soon. I collect the jewellery and through Schiaparelli I collected other 40s things like hats and dresses, which I wear a lot – I have a huge collection which I customise. As part of my interest in the 40s, I'm also very in love with anything to do with surrealism. So the Dada movement, Man Ray, Dalí, Magritte, you name them, I love them all. Schiaparelli was the first fashion designer who was clever enough to collaborate with artists. She was very brave, you know – think of the lobster dress, the shoe hat, the telephone compact. I go to vintage fairs consistently, and all the dealers know me. I buy a lot of costume jewellery, big, big pieces, and hats, hats, hats, and more hats. I just kind of immerse myself into that period very much."

Spiderman's beloved Uncle Ben once said With great power comes great responsibility. Sure Voltaire said it first, but the three teens at the center of Chronicle are more likely to be reading philosophy penned by Stan Lee than some old French guy.
Our heroes are three high school archetypes: Popular suave Steve (Michael B. Jordan: Red Tails), Stoner Matt (Alex Russell: Almost Kings) and bullied dweeb Andrew (Dane DeHaan: True Blood). Weird and quiet, Andrew has started filming everything that happens to him in an effort to stave off the abuse he suffers at the hands of bullies and his alcoholic father.
That's good news for us, because Andrew's camera is the only way we get to see what happens. Matt kind-heartedly drags Andrew to a party in the woods, hoping to get his weird cousin to lighten up. There, the boys meet up with Steve and discover a mysterious object. Each boy touches the object, and the camera fritzes out.
Drat. Movie over.
Steve and Matt pool their money to buy Andrew a new camera to film their newly developed telekinesis. They've read enough comics to know this is the stuff of superheroes, but they're in high school, so why not have some fun?
That's what they do: Leaf blowers suddenly whoosh up girls' skirts. Teddy bears fly off toy store shelves to chase little girls. Cars move without drivers. It's all great fun until Andrew, drunk on his new power, crashes cars.
Steve and Matt decide that they need rules. Andrew agrees only to keep his friends happy. But the pressures of his home life coupled with the abuses he suffers in school push him to focus his powers on destruction.
When Andrew determines that being an evil overlord is a better social plan than hoping people will learn to like him, it's up to Steve and Matt to stop him.
The found-footage genre has been getting a bit rote of late, but director Josh Trank (The Kill Point) makes Chronicle a fresh and entertaining take on this familiar conceit.
This dark spin on superhero origins works because of the three boys at its center. As Steve, Jordon does the nearly impossible: He makes the most popular kid in school a genuine nice guy. Russell is a well-intentioned stoner who can't quite cope with his weird cousin or his amazing powers. DeHaan's troubled kid with too many chips on his shoulder is the dramatic standout. His rage is palpable.
Their glee at discovering their super powers is exactly right for high schoolers. They don't try to stop crime like Peter Parker. They want to stop a baseball chucked at their head. They want to try out telekinesis in bed with their girlfriends. They want to see if they can fly.
Chronicle is a great take on the boys-will-be-boys caper.
