Trailer - The Haunting Lover - 等着你回来 2010 Based on a 1940s true story, a large medicinal manufacturing plant in Guangzhou, "Kwong Cheong Tong", is hiring. With his luck, Leung Kwong (Vanness Wu) is hired simply due to his resemblance to their missing Third Master of 10 years. While at work, Leung encounters strange incidents one right after another. In one case, Leung was attacked and was saved by the mysterious Fu Rong (Li Xiao Lu) who claims that Leung is actually Third Master who she has been waiting for. To get to the bottom of the mystery of the missing Third Master, Leung goes to Singapore with his girlfriend, Hsiao Chen, to find the truth. Their trip only brings them back to the original source, "Kwong Cheong Tong". The longer it takes to Leung to solve the mystery, the deeper he falls into the persona as Third Master.

Pump volume for UV Sterilizer
CFOh replied to haimi's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
What brand is it? check the spec.. I browse a few website... how to interpret the spec... for example brand "TERMINATOR 9 WATT QUARTZ UV STERILIZER" suggested range 225/360 gph (suggested/maximum) which is 851/1362 l/hr..... *Suggested flow rates are based on "end of lamp's life" performance (80% power) *Maximum flow rates are based on new lamp output (100% power) *Flow rates consider 90% UV transmissibility Another approach, a few website recommend 1Watt = 10gph (37.9l/hr) after some understanding found this were due to the intention of so called "level two Sterilization (Parasites, “Stubborn” Viruses; Recommended for Swimming Pools)" Pls find table below: your 900l/hr should be under "Level One Sterilization (Bacteria, some Virus)" but need to ensure fulfill 1.5 times per hour water turn over rate... Very good articles explain on UV flow can find below: http://americanaquariumproducts.com/AquariumUVSterilization.html Water Flow/Contact This is easily the most important simple aspect of proper UV Sterilizer set up and all the gimmicks (like “twists” and “wipers”) will not help a poorly installed UV with high flow rates of water passing through. In fact this is where most UV Sterilizers installed in ponds fall well short as pond keepers will place for instance a 9 watt UV with a 1000 gph pump which is 2-4 times the effective flow rate for a pond installation (often as per very poor directions by the manufacturer). This problem is also common among reef aquarists with high flow rate sump pumps attached to UV Sterilizers incompatible with the flow rate, resulting in the common and incorrect statement that “the UV Sterilizer was useless”. Admittedly flow rate is a generalization expressed to simply mW/cm2 that is absorbed/transmitted to pathogens/algae (please read further in this article for more in depth explanation of UVC Penetration/mW/cm2). I use this method as simplified method that has tested well over the years in my applications of UV Sterilizers. Obviously there are other factors such as distance from the UV wall, water turbidity, quartz sleeve cleanliness, UV bulb condition/age, and more (again that are explained in this article). As well many UV manufacturers will over state their UV Sterilizer abilities as per maximum flow rates (although this does not necessarily make such a UV Sterilizer a poor/inferior product as some other web sites claim, I would only use the simple calculations provided here to make your choice, not exaggerated claims by many UV manufacturers). • The key to success is CORRECT water flow, cleanliness of the bulb and/or quartz sleeve, water particulates and water temperature. Please also see the table at the end of this section that further explains flow for Sterilization or clarification for aquariums, ponds or even pools Also please note that the given flow rates are generalizations, with many Compact UV Sterilizers requiring the slower flow rate given over a Standard length UV (such as the TMC Pond Advantage/Vecton) *As a Sterilizer; Generally for bacterial control (& many virus) a flow rate of 20-25 gph per watt (75-95 liters per hour, per watt). *As a Clarifier; For algae control, 40 gph per watt (sometimes as high as 50 gph) is effective to maintain effective exposure for effective UVC sterilization/radiation (depending on model UV’s design). *As a Sterilizer; For single cell parasite control (such as Cryptocaryon) as well as a few “stubborn” viruses, a flow under 10 gph (or even less) is necessary. This is often not 100% for all parasites of this type, so a UV Sterilizer should not be relied on as the sole preventative for these parasites! Please see the section (“What Size UV Is Best”) further down in the article for more about flow rate. Admittedly this is a VERY basic and simplistic rule, with other factors such flow design, interior wall gap from UV bulb, & even actually output of UVC per watt (Versus other wave lengths). *The design of the unit should only allow a gap of .3 cm or less between the bulb or quartz sleeve and the wall of the unit for effective contact and temperature. This is where canister aquarium and pressurized pond filters (such as the Aquael, Nursery Pro, even the newer Via Aqua) fail miserably as there is too large a gap and in general a poor flow design around the bulb/quartz sleeve (as well as flow rates far exceeding UVC bulb wattage capabilities) • When figuring the flow (gph) of a water pump, consider the flow of water AFTER it passes through the UV clarifier and reaches the aquarium or top of water feature in a pond. For instance water pump or filter rated at 400 gph at 0 head pressure & 6 feet maximum head pressure (which is how all pumps are rated), will likely only push about 200 gph after being lifted 3 feet from a sump or up a water feature. For a positive check of flow rate, simply use a stop watch (many cell phones have this feature), and place a container under the outlet. For example if one gallon is filled within 10 seconds, this is 6 gallons per minute or 360 gph. Many persons are surprised how slow their pump actually is after applying head pressure. Some pumps or filters lose head pressure more quickly than others (such as the Hagen Fluval), while other pumps are specifically designed to maintain higher head pressure over greater vertical distances (such as the Rio HF Series pumps). Size of pipe/tubing on water flow: Another consideration is the size of the PVC pipe or tubing coming from the pump. For instance a pump with a 1 inch outlet port that is rated at 2000 gph (for 0 head pressure) will likely not have an output of 2000 gph if the pipe/tubing used is ¾ inch or less. This same thought goes for the UV Sterilizer itself, in fact the Custom UV I have built only uses ½ inch hose barbs so as to restrict the flow to under 350 gph which is the maximum effective rate. It is also noteworthy that the flow rates I have already noted (20-25 gph per watt for sterilization or 40-50 gph per watt for green water control) is not an exact rule, as reflection within the UV Sterilization chamber, the distance between bulb (or sleeve) and the walls of the unit, and the length of the bulb as per wattage of UVC output all affect this general guide (this is explained later in the article in more depth). The point as to bulb length is noteworthy, as I have found that increasing wattage with the same length bulb does NOT increase effectiveness proportionally to a given wattage. In fact a popular Pond UV that uses HO (High Output) UVC Bulbs (50 watt and 100 watt models) does not double the amount of water flow you can run through the unit even though it is double the wattage of comparable length UVC bulbs of half the wattage. The TMC 110 Watt Pro Pond UV is much more effective than the popular HO UVs of 100 watts (each use two bulbs, the TMC uses two 55 watt of 36 inches while the “smart” HO UV uses two 50 watt bulbs of 18 inches), yet these HO UV Clarifiers cost much more which often leaves me scratching my head as to “why?”.

Endangered Hawksbill turtles released off Singapore

Speech from Hawksbill turtle tag and release event Tue, Aug 24, 2010 AsiaOne http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Singapore/Story/A1Story20100824-233662.html Full text of speech by Dr Mohamad Maliki bin Osman, Parliamentary Secretary for National Development: Mr Chng Hwee Hong, Executive Director, Haw Par Corporation and Deputy Chairman, Underwater World Singapore, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Students and Teachers, Good afternoon. I am happy to join you today at Big Sister's Island for the Hawksbill Turtle Tag and Release event. I note that the event, hosted by the Underwater World Singapore, has been organised in commemoration of the International Year of Biodiversity. The United Nations has declared 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity. It is a celebration of the variety of life on Earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives. As we learn to appreciate the wonders of nature, it is important that we also understand that everyone is dependent on nature and the natural ecosystems that support biodiversity. It is important that all parties come together to share their knowledge and experience on how best to safeguard the Earth's biodiversity. Singapore, despite being a small country with competing needs for limited resources, has strived to balance economic development and biodiversity conservation. We are also committed to contributing to biodiversity conservation at the international level. In fact, Singapore is working with the Convention on Biological Diversity (or CBD) Secretariat on developing the CBD-led Cities' Biodiversity Index. This is being done in partnership with the Global Partnership on Cities and Biodiversity . There is currently a lack of self-assessment tools that cities can use in measuring their conservation efforts. The Cities' Biodiversity Index will hence go towards helping cities benchmark their biodiversity conservation efforts over time. I would like to applaud the joint collaborative effort of Underwater World Singapore (UWS), the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium of Japan (PNPA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of USA (NOAA) to conserve the Hawksbill turtle. This species of turtle is internationally acknowledged as endangered and is listed as "critically endangered" in The Singapore Red Data Book - a source of reference for conservation plans and efforts of various governmental and non-governmental organisations published by Nature Society, Singapore. I understand that satellite-tracking devices will be fitted on the turtles that will be released today to study their migratory behaviour, and the results would be shared at various international scientific forums this year. This study will help us to better understand the behaviour of Hawksbill turtles and improve turtle conservation efforts. I am pleased to see that students and forum participants from this morning's multidisciplinary forum on turtle conservation have joined us for the turtle release. With concerted and coordinated efforts by scientists, and the passionate support of individuals like you, our biodiversity conservation efforts will continue to be strengthened. If we work hard today, our children and grandchildren will also get their chance to enjoy the richness of nature that we today enjoy. Thank you. -
Endangered Hawksbill turtles released off Singapore (AFP) – 4 hours ago The Hawksbill shell is used to make products like combs, ornamental hairpins and glasses frames http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hq668CLl6K_HdtGUdtxL5aLx1btw SINGAPORE — Thirteen endangered sea turtles born and bred in Japan were released off Singapore waters Tuesday as part of efforts to conserve the species. The five one-year-olds and eight three-year-olds are the offspring of Hawksbill turtles donated by the Underwater World Singapore aquarium to the Port of Nagoya aquarium in 1997 and 2002. They were brought to Singapore earlier this year and kept at the Underwater World aquarium before the eventual release into their natural habitat. "I feel a sense of great relief because the turtles are where they belong,' George Balazs, biologist and leader of marine turtle research at the Hawaii-based Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. "Sea turtles in the sea," the scientist said after the last turtle swam into the water. The three-year-olds were fitted with satellite tracking devices so that scientists can follow their progress. The turtles were first transported in boxes from nearby Sentosa island and then released on a stretch of beach on Big Sister's Island. They crawled down the beach to the water's edge and disappeared into the sea as conservationists, scientists, students and the media erupted into cheers and applause. "This release project has our strong desire that we want to return those Japanese-born turtles to Singaporean sea (which is) the native place of their parents," said Makoto Soichi, director with the Nagoya aquarium. Underwater World Singapore said cooperation was key to efforts to conserve turtles which are regarded as a delicacy in parts of Asia. "We hope that our integrated and collaborative efforts will contribute to our better understanding of Hawksbill turtle behaviour and improve turtle conservation efforts," said Peter chew, deputy general manager of the Singapore aquarium. Turtle soup is a delicacy in parts of Asia and turtle shells are crushed into powder for use in a jelly dessert. The Hawksbill shell is also used to make products like combs, ornamental hairpins and glasses frames.
