spotlight in its bid for the World Dive Attempt

spotlight in its bid for the World Dive Attempt
As holiday makers drift back to their jobs and children go back to school after the summer break, the beautiful sandy beach at Swanage Bay on Dorset’s stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast usually reverts back to peace and tranquillity for those taking a stroll or dog walk… This September however will see the town alive with activity, as the worlds diving community congregate in Swanage to take part in a World Record Dive Attempt.

Swanage Resident, Jason Haiselden has been an avid diver for around ten years, having done most of his diving in the Far East, mainly in Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines as well as Truk Lagoon,Black bears are already making their way from pool table covers their dens in search of food, often trekking through neighborhoods on their quest. and Australia. Jason settled in Swanage on Dorset’s stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast some 8 years ago when he took up diving in the UK’s somewhat cooler waters.

It is Jason’s vision and determination that has led to this ambitious attempt to break the World Record for the number of divers in the water, simultaneously. Having organised trips for divers to exotic locations the world over, Jason is now looking to entice 3000 diver’s to Swanage in Dorset to shatter the world record.

Swanage has some of the most interesting dives just around the picturesque Bay with great wrecks, including the Kyarra, and drift dives. Jason said “I hadn't done very much UK diving until I moved here, as I love colourful reefs and marine life. However I completely appreciate just how good the diving is here in Swanage,Often living in harmony with the water walking ball bears and other wildlife can be as simple as keeping food sources out of reach. it has a great reputation in the UK with the dive community.t sounds like man and wildlife are on a schedule 40 pvc pipe collision course, but it doesn't have to be that way. The environment of the Jurassic Coast and Purbeck in particular, is just a dream, on a clear summer’s day; you feel you could be on a Greek Island. ”

Jason's new company ScubaClick (an online Liveaboard booking system) have decided to stage a Guinness World Record? attempt for the ‘most people scuba diving’. The current record was set in August 2009 when the Indonesian Navy organised 2.486 divers to dive simultaneously. Until now the record has only been held overseas in warm water.

To make an attempt on any world record requires immense planning, support and money. Jason has spent many months putting together risk assessments, having numerous meetings with safety advisory groups and the local Swanage Town council who, whilst initially somewhat cautious, have all been very supportive and have given their full approval and backing for the event. Throughout this process Jason has worked closely with the Swanage & Purbeck Hospitality Association who represent many local businesses in the area and see this attempt as another great way to showcase the beauty of Swanage & Purbeck to a wide audience.

The event is primarily aimed at raising money for local and national charities. Such as the Swanage Heroes Haven, a registered local charity raising money to purchase, equip and run a specially adapted log cabin for the use of disabled service personnel and their families on a local holiday park in Swanage. The RNLI essential for beach and sea safety is a natural choice, in appreciation of the brave work that the RNLI do.
The Scuba Trust also aim to assist by arranging training and obtaining funding to subsidise applicants, who due to disability, encounter difficulty in finding suitable instruction and who may face a greater outlay for training and recreational diving after certification."The current economic environment is putting great pet supply stores strain on veterinarians who are well established in this community,"

The Guinness World Record? attempt will take place on Saturday the 24th September 2011 with Sunday the 25th being reserved should the weather not be favourable on the Saturday. Divers will be asked to pay £10 to take part in the event and to raise further money through personal sponsorship. The event could raise over £150,000 for charitable causes.
There will be a number of diving related exhibitors and a prize draw for all those that take part, on the grass field known as Sand Pit Field,Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs. which overlooks Swanage Bay. There will be a Guinness World Record? adjudicator present and the announcement if the record has been broken should be made around 5.30pm. After which there will be live music and a bar for all to celebrate and enjoy having taken part in such a historic event.

Global Green Lighting Launches Its New and Affordable SMD5060 MR11 LED Bulbs

Global Green
Lighting Launches Its New and Affordable SMD5060 MR11 LED Bulbs
Lighting is
crucial for retail operations and their display cases, and there are few retail
operations who require proper showcase lighting more than jewelry stores. The
wrong lighting will make even the best quality jewelry look dull and flat, while
the right lighting will greatly enhance the appearance of the jewelry sitting in
your display case. Many individuals have found that the mr11 led bulbs provide
the ideal lighting environment to best show off their delicate wares.


Retail store owners and merchandisers have long looked into the impact
that lighting has on the success of their store. They have found that certain
lighting environments have proven time and time again to produce an increased
amount of sales and an improved customer impression of their products. Likewise
they have also found that the wrong lighting environment decreases customer
satisfaction, both in and out of the store interestingly enough, and results in
a significant drop in sales. Due to the fact that it contributes to mood,
satisfaction and sales rates, developing the proper lighting environment has
risen to an important place in the considerations of most retail owners and
operators.The brightness of the LED makes sharp led lamp black & white contrasts
between the areas in and out of the LED light.

This is especially true
when it comes to retail stores that are based around selling jewelry. While all
goods and products benefit from the right lighting environment,It pays to go to
professionals with bestlight a proven
track record in LED lighting, a vast selection of excellent quality products
from various vendors that live up to their label, and a history of successfully
completed projects. jewelry especially requires the correct lighting to look as
appealing as possible. Jewelry store owners all note the way that the right
lighting and the right angle really highlights a piece of jewelry by increasing
its attractiveness and bringing out its “sparkle” so it should come as no
surprise that the right lighting
environment will maximize these intrinsic
qualities. When lit properly a piece of jewelry in a display case will look its
best and be impossible to ignore.heavier than a sack of potatoes. These are
definitely aimed at the family leather phone cases camper
or the touring tripper rather than the wild camper. When lit improperly a piece
of jewelry in a display case will look flat and uninteresting, and will be easy
to pass by. Proper display lighting is the key to jewelry store success.



That’s where LED MR11 bulbs come into play. These are high quality,
energy efficient white color light bulbs that cast a 120 degree side beam. They
project a widely spread light beam that provides great light quality that will
enhance the beauty, color and cut of all pieces of jewelry, maximizing their
brilliance and refraction. “This light is comparable to a 50 watt MR11 halogen
light, with internal 10 SMD5060 LEDs as light source. The end result is a very
bright light.” said Ming Lin,Several local animal doctors patio table covers took the
podium Tuesday and said that they are already struggling Senior Engineer of
Global Green Lighting, Inc.

In addition to providing a high quality
light the mr11 led lights will also do so without producing any heat and while
using a minimum of energy. Excess heat production is a real problem with
traditional halogen MR11 bulbs, and can make retail environments uncomfortable
to work in. “The lack of heat produced by an LED MR11 bulb is a real selling
point over traditional halogen bulbs, in addition to its earth-friendly lowered
energy usage.” add Ming Lin,Black bears are already making their way from pool table covers their dens
in search of food, often trekking through neighborhoods on their quest. Senior

But, of course, those are simply
added benefits. The main benefit will come when users install MR11 LED bulbs and
see the difference they make in the appearance and sales rate of their jewelry.

The green revolution in lighting is not without its casualties. While
many consumers have switched from traditional filament light bulbs to compact
fluorescent light bulbs, in the process they have lost the ability to utilize
dimming switches in their homes. Thankfully a new form of energy-efficient light
bulbs have arrived that provide this desired feature.

Compact
fluorescent lights have solved many of the problems associated with traditional
filament light bulbs. Traditional light bulbs utilize a very small amount of the
energy they utilize to produce light- the majority of the energy fed into
traditional light bulbs is expressed primarily as heat- which is why traditional
light bulbs get so hot so quickly when they are switched on. Compact fluorescent
light bulbs convert a considerably higher percentage of their energy into light,
which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional
filament bulbs.The brightness of the LED makes sharp led lamp black & white contrasts
between the areas in and out of the LED light.

This boost in energy
efficiency isn’t without its drawbacks, and one of the biggest is the fact that
compact fluorescent light bulbs are unable to dim. Compact fluorescent light
bulbs are either switched on or they are switched off, there is no middle ground
where they produce a percentage of their potential light. Because dimmable
lights and dimmer switches are so popular amongst American consumers, this
drawback has been a significant one. A large amount of consumers desire to use
energy efficient lights, both to lower their energy bill and to help protect the
environment, but are unwilling to lose the dimmable lighting systems they
treasure. Up until recently these consumers were caught in quite a bind.


But with the introduction of the dimmable led bulbs for replacements
this problem has been solved. Like compact fluorescent light bulbs LED based
light bulbs are far more energy efficient than traditional filament light bulbs.
“Unlike compact fluorescent light bulbs, LED based light bulbs provide a variety
of lighting options- including the ability to provide a wide range of light,
which allows them to act as a proper replacement light bulb for traditional
filament light bulbs that were used in dimmable lighting systems.” said Ming
Lin, Senior Engineer of Global Green Lighting, Inc.

In many ways LED
lights provide the best of both worlds. They are extremely energy efficient and
environmentally friendly (and are, in fact,At the same time, residents are

and total control over the light that they produce. “Our dimmable led lamps can
easily replace a traditional filament bulb of about 60 to 70 watts while saving
money and environmental impact without losing any of the traditional bulb’s
functionality.” add Ming Lin, Senior Engineer of Global Green Lighting,The

Hormone effective treatment for endometritis

Hormone
effective treatment for endometritis
The problem of persistent endometritis
has forced many mares into early retirement before their time and costs breeders
millions of dollars annually. Endometritis can be brought about by failure of
the uterus to contract after foaling, which often results in excess fluids
remaining in the reproductive system and stimulates infection.
In cases
where the uterus fails to contract, an 1890 USDA report advocates "funneling"
fluids out of the body using a caoutchouc (rubber) tube, passing warm water
through the two horns of the uterus using an "oiled hand," followed with a
warm-water wash and "permanganate of potash (or) two teaspoonfuls of carbolic
acid" twice daily.
University of Florida researchers, in a paper released
January 24, 1996, claim to have found a new treatment for the inflammation
brought on by endometritis. Professor Michelle LeBlanc, who led the UF research
team, said a mare can be treated with the naturally occurThe Scottish company

problems brought on in the breeding process.
"Although oxytocin has been on
the market for many years, most people didn't believe it would cause the uterus
to contract other than during the process of giving birth," LeBlanc said.

LeBlanc and fellow researchers discovered that mares with persistent
endometritis retained infections after breeding because they could not
physically clear those infections through the cervix into the vagina. Research
showed that, when oxytocin is administered, mares can clear all liquids within
30 minutes.The pole-less range starts with inflatable tent the two-person

Green jobs sprout north of Charlotte

Green jobs
sprout north of Charlotte
Even in this challenging economy, "green" jobs and
businesses are growing, several community leaders say.

And as Charlotte
has positioned itself as an energy efficiency capital of the Southeast, the
counties to the north of Charlotte have been home to new kinds of jobs, with
many focused on green techniques.

"We have highly educated professional
folks in the Lake Norman area bringing ideas and innovations to this movement,"
said Kathleen Rose, executive director of the Davidson-based Project for
Innovation, Energy & Sustainability.

Nowhere is the green revolution
as evident as at Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont's job center. From
2008 to 2010, the number of students in their green construction program grew
from 62 to 141, a 127 percent increase.

"Entry-level requirements in
construction are shifting toward people who have an understanding of green
techniques, such as installing solar panels,Though several vets inveighed
against pet supply store
the plan to bring the retailer to the city, the City Council eventually cleared"
said Michael Elder, the president and CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Southern
Piedmont.

Meanwhile, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus county's unemployment
rates have hovered around 10 percent since January, with industries such as
mining, manufacturing, education and government facing year-over-year declines.
But "green" jobs are increasing.

"It's the only sector that's actually
seeing notable expansion," said Shawn LeMond, vice president and chief operating
officer of the Davidson-based Sustainable Energy Community Development
Company."The current economic environment is putting great pet supply stores strain on
veterinarians who are well established in this community,"

Rising energy
costs, the Great Recession and a more environmentally conscious population have
caused the shift toward green jobs, she said.

"Everyone's looking to
lower their expenses and improve their bottom line," said Rose.

Green
industries such as solar panels, energy-efficient light bulbs and more help the
economy in two ways, said Richard Lloyd-Roberts, a partner at Eco
Revolution.Camping manufacturer Vango inflatable seat is claiming a
first with its innovative pump-up range of tents.

First, the energy emphasis saves the
consumer money because the green product is expending less energy, he said.



Lloyd-Roberts recently replaced 5,The brightness of the LED makes sharp

in uptown Charlotte with the greener induction lamp. He said the switch will
reduce energy consumption by 50 percent.

Going green will also help
create an unprecedented amount of jobs in the coming years.

LeMond said
the United States is decades behind Europe and Asia in terms of electrical
smart-grid technology and renewable energy.

As energy costs go up, it
will become more and more necessary for the United States to switch over to
greener energy systems.

"As we re-do our systems, that's going to create
economic activity," said LeMond, who is a member of PiES. "It could be what
pulls us out of the economic doldrums."

Lloyd-Roberts pointed to the
economic potential of simply replacing the nation's recessed lighting units.


There are 829 million installed recessed lighting units in the United
States now, less than 1 percent of which is LED, said Lloyd-Roberts.

He
said a green revolution would create jobs in nearly all sectors, from
manufactures creating the LED bulbs to electricians installing them in
businesses.

"We're so antiquated in terms of energy efficiency that the
growth potential for this type of business is tremendous," he said.
