What to Look for in an Energy-Efficient Dehumidifier
"So many factors can lead to high humidity," says Nikki Krueger, Director of Marketing for Therma-Stor. For example, structural elements of a home such as hardwood floors, temperature, and high dew points can all impact humidity load. "If you break those down and each one of them is adding a little bit of humidity it adds up to a larger humidity problem," Krueger says.
A dehumidifier should balance performance, durability, and ease of use. Here are a few other factors to consider to help narrow down your search.
There are several dehumidifier varieties to choose from—whole-house, dessicant, and refrigerant. Whole-house and dessicant options tie into your home's HVAC system and are the best way to fix large humidity issues. Refrigerant dehumidifiers are the most popular and are effective for controlling short-term humidity issues. They use a fan to move air over refrigerated coils to remove moisture and collect it into a tank. Once collected the water needs to be disposed of properly, either by emptying the tank or continuously via a garden hose and a drain.
When it comes to dehumidifiers, size matters. Dehumidifiers are sold by capacity, or the number of pints of moisture a unit can remove in 24 hours under ambient conditions of 80 degrees and 60% relative humidity. You also want to factor in the size of the unit itself, and make sure you have space for it in the room where you're planning to use it.
When choosing a dehumidifier, measure the square footage of the room, garage, or other space the unit will be used in. Then select an option meant for that square footage to maximize efficiency and energy usage. For example, small dehumidifiers will remove moisture from a room about 500 square feet in size. At the same time, whole-house options can be used in areas over 5,000 square feet.
The energy efficiency of dehumidifiers is measured by its integrated energy factor or IEF. The most economical and environmentally-friendly dehumidifier is the one that removes the maximum amount of moisture from the air (measured in liters) and takes the least amount of electricity to do it (measured in KWh).
Here's a guideline for IEF:
IEF below 1.30 L/kWh means the dehumidifier is below-average efficiency.
IEF 1.31-1.56 L/kWh means the dehumidifier is of average efficiency.
IEF 1.57-1.7 L/kWh means the dehumidifier meets Energy Star rating criteria for above-average efficiency.
IEF 1.7 L/kWh and above means the dehumidifier is highly efficient. Most energy-efficient dehumidifiers can reach 1.9 L/kWh IEF.
Location-Specific Features
Depending on where a dehumidifier is located in your home, you may consider additional features to optimize performance; such as whether you need wheels for portability, low-temperature operation, or freeze-resistant models when using the dehumidifier in cold climate.
Are dehumidifiers more efficient than window air conditioner units?
Air conditioners and dehumidifiers serve separate functions so comparing their energy efficiency is challenging. More often than not, an air conditioner will be more expensive to operate than a dehumidifier. However, using a dehumidifier in your home in warm weather may also reduce overall energy costs because air conditioning units don't need to consume as much energy to maintain desired temperature and comfort levels in your home.
How often do you need to clean a dehumidifier?
Dehumidifier filters must be changed or cleaned regularly. Some machines have permanent air filters that can be cleaned and reused, while others have disposable features that need to be replaced. Refer to the owner's manual for cleaning instructions and frequency.
Is there anything you can do to make a dehumidifier run more efficiently?
In addition to choosing the right size dehumidifier for the space you're using it in, ensure there's enough room for air to freely flow in and out of the unit. Follow the guidance in the owner's manual. Close all doors and windows and repair any leaks or cracks to prevent additional moisture entering. Finally, set the unit to the optimal relative humidity level, between 30% and 50% (and 30% to 40% in colder climates during winter months).
Are there any safe uses for the water collected by a dehumidifier?
Dehumidifier water is a kind of "greywater"—or wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams without fecal contamination, including sinks, showers, baths, and dishwashers. Many manufacturers warn against using dehumidifier wastewater because it could be contaminated from sitting in the bucket. However, others argue that you can add some bleach or vinegar to make an antibacterial solution for cleaning windows. Some other potential uses could be for watering outdoor, non-edible plants.

Current: My tongue is the blast of a gun On the Road with the Midnight Robbers
by Dr Emily Zobel Marshall | 23/03/2017 |
In this blog post, Dr Emily Zobel Marshall, Senior Lecturer in Postcolonial Literature, tells the story of her recent research visit to Trinidad where she immersed herself in the culture and history of the traditional masquerade (mas), the Midnight Robber.
The Mystery Raiders on the streets of Port of Spain, Carnival Tuesday, 2017
"When carnival coming the poor and dispossessed [...] walk with a tall hot beauty between the garbage and dog shit, proclaiming life, exulting in the bare bones of their person and their skin."
(Lovelace, 1998, p.5)
Trinidadian novelist Earl Lovelace, whose writing brought to life the centrality of carnival and masquerade in Trinidad to an international readership, describes the emancipatory power of carnival in The Dragon Can't Dance (1979). He goes on to describe how, for those who live in the shacks of Laventille, one of the city's poorest communities, playing traditional masquerades such as the Midnight Robber or the Dragon is a profoundly transformative experience. Like the tellers and listeners of Anansi and Brer Rabbit trickster folktales, through their performance mas players are able to transcend their status at the bottom of the economic hierarchy and, albeit temporarily, become omnipotent.
"My tongue is the blast of a gun!" is one of the many threats directed at carnival revelers by Midnight Robber masqueraders. The Midnight Robber is part highwayman, part cowboy and part agent of death and destruction. He wears a huge fringed hat, a cape adorned with skulls and carries a gun – yet his speech is his most fearsome weapon. Traditionally, he holds passers-by to ransom and revels in detailing the vengeance he will wreak on his oppressors through grand, verbose speeches in exchange for a prompt cash payment.
During my research trip to Trinidad in carnival season, I wanted to conduct interviews with traditional Midnight Robber players and find out if the mas character still possessed his potentially revolutionary energy. I was eager to see if, through his war of words, he was still a fearful figure, challenging corruption and authoritarian rule – or had the increasing commercialisation of carnival and fantastically popular, touristic, 'beads and bikini' masquerade drained him of his status, influence and power?
I arrived in Port of Spain, Trinidad, at dawn after a grueling long haul flight involving three changes. As always, despite my many trips to the Caribbean, I was silenced by the overwhelming, simmering beauty of the tropical landscape; the lushness of the trees, the pink skies clearing the way for blue above the forested hills and the cacophony of birdsong competing with the sounds of the bustling city preparing itself for the day ahead. By 9am I was up on the hill overlooking the capital in King Olender's tiny house. King Olender, otherwise knows as Charles Harrington, is one of the oldest Midnight Robbers in Trinidad. He was bed-ridden, so I interviewed him as he lay on an impressive circular divan he had made himself using his skills as a carpenter. His room was small and bare and he was clearly unwell. I worried that I would be placing him under unnecessary strain by interviewing him, but he was eager to talk and share his stories.
Charles told me that he had been playing the Midnight Robber mas since he was a teenager – he had seen a Midnight Robber masquerader as a boy and followed him around, entranced by his outfit and his impressive mastery of language. As his skills in carpentry grew, he was able to construct more elaborate costumes and he transformed himself into King Olender. During one carnival he hired an assistant costume maker, but he swore never to request help again as nobody could be trusted to make his outfit in the correct manner – to follow his vision. Every year, all year round, he would work on his costume, which could never be the same as the one he wore for the last carnival. For him, the two days of carnival were a culmination of pain-staking costume designing, making and rehearsing speeches.
King Olender left school early, but he knew his speeches were 'a kind a poetry'. He boasted that in his youth he had committed over two hundred speeches to memory. He used to train boys who wanted to play the Robber mas, and insisted that creating and learning the speeches helped the boys develop academically. He showed me clippings from newspapers that presented him in his former glory, as one of the most celebrated Midnight Robbers in Port of Spain. From his circular bed, he recited the speeches he still remembered. His threats of his vengeance and omnipotent power – how he could eat his enemies' livers for breakfast – threw his frail and diminished state in sharp relief.
In the days that followed I spent time at the 'Mystery Raiders' Midnight Robber mas camp, the last traditional Midnight Robber mas camps in Trinidad. A mas camp is where the magic happens – where carnival masqueraders come together to design and make costumes and shape the band. The mas camp was at band organizer Anthony Collymore's house. Collymore described himself as a 'reluctant robber', as he found the performance challenging and never quite experienced that moment of possession during the mas – he never felt he became the robber. He had inherited the organizational role from the most well-known and respected Midnight Robber in Trinidad, Brian Honoré. Brian's son, Fedon, was now in the Mystery Raiders band. When Brian passed away, Collymore also inherited from Brian a duty of care for the ageing Midnight Robbers in the band, like King Olander and Esau Millington whom he visited regularly.
Collymore had a pretty house on the side of a hill with a large verandah overlooking the city below. The verandah was packed tight with Midnight Robber costumes and a riot of glue, wire, tape, string, tools, cloth, cardboard and wooden struts strewn across every surface. The Midnight Robbers were in a frenzy of glueing, sewing and hammering as they rushed to get their outfits finished before carnival Monday. They explained that despite weeks of careful planning, when you are out on the road for eight hours, dancing and moving, parts of even the most carefully planned and robust costume can gravely disappoint the wearer by falling apart.
I interviewed the robbers about their masquerade; what compelled them to take to the road every year? The planning, the organization, the time, the energy, the expense – and also the shared sense of not being respected due to the popularity of the 'beads and bikini' mas – did this not put them off? Collymore explained that there was a lack of appreciation for 'old mas'; during one of their last performances, which was being filmed as they took to the stage, the local TV station cut to an advertisement break during the Midnight Robber speeches – and then cut back to more beautiful, wining (gyrating) women adorned with feathers and sequins.
They told me about the ancient history of the masquerade, how the hats are the very same design as the ones worn by Nigerian chiefs and the speeches similar in rhythm and theme to those of the West African griot or storyteller. In the face of the history of slavery and colonialism and current neo-colonialism, crime and corruption in Trinidad, the Midnight Robber is a speaker of the truth, bringing the country's attention to both historical and contemporary wrongdoings. They also explained that, at a personal level, the speeches and the mas camp itself, with its atmosphere of camaraderie, can help a person feel empowered – to overcome shyness or feelings of social inadequacy or awkwardness. It struck me that this is what carnival theory really lacks; a framework for examining the personal effects of the masquerade – the spiritual, emotional and psychological impact of playing mas. Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, whose theories of the 'Carnivalesque' have dominated carnival scholarship, does little to help us understand the profoundly transformative effect that playing mas has on the individual.
After several visits to the mas camp, the Mystery Raiders unexpectedly invited me to go on the road with them on carnival Tuesday. They would lend me a hat, a cape and a whistle and I could then see for myself what it was like to play the Midnight Robber. This was opportunity I couldn't turn down, but I braced myself – I was going to be leaving my 'comfort zone' as a researcher and observer and become a participant. I prepared a speech, just in case, and I took to the road with them.
The logistics of the whole operation were complicated. Getting the full-sized coffin (a key prop) strapped to the roof of the truck and then down again, waiting for band members to arrive, a last minute costume crisis and an unanticipated downpour proved to be challenging in all sorts of ways. When we finally set off we were all rather worn out.
The Mystery Raider's coffin.
Being on the road with the Mystery Raiders was sharp contrast to the beads and bikini mas; there was little focus on drinking, dancing or looking attractive. It became clear that there were two kinds of mas going on, 'pretty mas', for which you have to 'pay to play,' and 'old mas'. Pretty mas bands can be two thousand people strong and fees start at £500, in exchange for which you receive a very small, shiny outfit and guaranteed free drinks and food for two days while you follow your truck through the streets – plus a raft of security guards to watch your every move. For the Midnight Robbers, drinks and snacks were dispensed from the full-size coffin we dragged trough the streets with chains, there was no security and the mas, far from being hedonistic, was a serious business. It struck me that for this group of people, this was a ritual – and one which took place not just during that moment on the road – but throughout the year.
Setting off from the Savannah with The Mystery Raiders
The band's nerves were frayed as we queued to deliver speeches on the Savannah stage (a large concert stadium) and be inspected by the judges. Behind us a band of blue devils took a break from squirming, writhing and tugging at their chains to top themselves up with a fresh coating of blue paint for the judges.
The Blue Devils rub fresh paint on themselves before crossing the Savannah stage
After crossing the Savannah stage, the band relaxed a little. We pulled our coffin through the streets, posed for photographs, frightened people and danced (a little) for around six hours. As part of a yearly custom, we stopped to pose outside the Sony photo shop; the Sony photographer took our photo and rushed inside to make ten copies, one for each Mystery Raider. I was deeply honored to be presented with mine, signed by Collymore. It read, 'For Emily, Best wishes and Many thanks from the Mystery Raiders and Anthony Collymore, The Mellancolly Marauder'.
The Mystery Raiders were certainly not the only examples of 'old mas' on the street – a 'Baby Doll' took over the mic at the judging point and screamed at the men in the crowd to take responsibility for her illegitimate baby, Moko Jumbies, performing their elegant West African mas on high stilts above the crowds, were to be found in every carnival procession, and, after I had taken part in J'ouvert and greeted the dawn bathed in blue paint, I saw a sinister and unforgettable 'Jab Molassie', thought to represent a slave covered in soot or molasses from the cane factory.
This Jab Molassie had covered himself head to foot in engine oil and held a baby doll smoking a lit cigarette. I paid for my curiosity and photograph by being smeared in foul-smelling engine oil.
So to answer my initial question, does the Midnight Robber still possess his potentially revolutionary energy? My interviews and my time playing mas with the Mystery Raiders proved that Midnight Robber mas is alive and well in contemporary Trinidad. Although not paid the respect they are due and continuing to struggle against the commercialization of a carnival dominated by selfies and g-strings– these traditional masquerades still exemplify the power of old mas.
It is challenging not to fall into clichés when trying to describe what the 'power of mas' actually is – it is such a multitude of things and each of them sound overly grandiose. Traditional mas in Trinidad continues to provide a creative medium for scrutinizing an oppressive and traumatic past as well as highlighting the flaws in contemporary society. These masquerades keep the creative traditions of carnival alive and, at a deeply personal level, playing this mas is also transformative. In Dragon Can't Dance, Earl Lovelace captures the effect of playing mas on his protagonist Aldrick, who lives for nothing else but to work on his exquisite Dragon costume and play the Dragon mas at carnival. Lovelace also shows us how Trinidad carnival becomes a vehicle through which the poor and dispossessed can assert their strength and humanity, even if they are forced to 'rip open the guts of the city' to do it. As Aldrick dances the dragon dance through the streets he wants his dancing to bring a message to his people and the impoverished communities of Port of Spain:
Oh, he danced. He danced pretty, he danced to say, "You are beautiful, Calvary Hill and John John and Laventille and Shanty Town. Listen to your steelbands how they playing! Look at the colours of your costumes in the sunshine! Look at your colours! You is people, people. People is you, people!"
"He wanted everybody to see him. When they saw him, they had to be blind not to see. They had to be deaf not to hear that people everywhere want to be people and they were going to be that anyway, even if they had to rip open the guts of the city." (Lovelace, 1988, p.116)
I leave you with the Midnight Robber speech I prepared for the Savannah stage – one which I was a little too shy to deliver.
Maybe next time..
Queen Anansi Robber
My Father came from England
My mother from the Caribbean
Here I stand before you
On your Trini island
I may look like a nice woman
But fear me, or you'll pay
I'll haunt you through your nights
And rip holes in your day
A foreign agent of destruction
With a foot in black and white
I see you mock men coming
And you're an ugly sight
Don't smile and look at me
And ask me where I'm from
I'm Queen Anansi Robber
And I will rob your song
The spider trickster moves through I
And I is watching you
I'll mash your mind and take your heart
Me telling you, for true

A client Who gave Post Planner a review on G2 Crowd stated that the program failed to meet his social media marketing needs because it merely caters to Facebook and Twitter accounts. He reported that he had a negative experience with customer service when he attempted to settle on a billing issue.
PostPlanner is a Facebook app which helps Page administrators and group administrators automate their FB property. There are a lot of features help users that are useful to create most from the FB marketing effort.
Post queue: You include status, and set a time for submitting Upgrades from the queue. With two hours of effort, you can easily automate a month's work in your Facebook pages.
Post connection as image: Images work much better than links on Facebook, and you can print a post link. This will not only increase the visibility of your connection, you will also get more CTR.
RSS feed automation: You can automate publishing out of the RSS feed. This can be handy, but I prefer manual. It is a great idea to join your feed with your Pocket app feed, and use it to discuss your content that is very best.
Idea engine: Status notion engine will help you to post Quick updates using PostPlanner status thoughts. You will find standing ideas and unlimited questions which may be used. The best part is that this can help you to increase engagement and communication, and therefore acquire more"Likes". The way to beat Facebook EdgeRank!
Post to the list: If you administrate and, several pages or groups You wish to share exactly the same content you can can utilize this feature of PostPlanner to do that. Simply create different list,s and discuss the exact same content. Should you choose, you can also manually discuss exactly the exact same content on multiple pages or group, and you can post you have joined.
One of the major issues Pages these days is participation (Facebook EdgeRank). To ensure your status upgrades are observed by everyone, you want to think of some pretty compelling status updates, which promote user interaction in the kind of"Likes" and comments.
PostPlanner status ideas is an answer to this problem. This feature was made with the idea of beating the Facebook EdgeRank algorithm in mind. You can select from the vast pool of standing tips for your pages and/or bands.
When a content are running Publish 5+ posts every day, auto-publishing is your very best option for saving time, and this target can be achieved by you with PostPlanner. PostPlanner permits you RSS feeds into your pages or groups.
The installation part of this attribute is straightforward. All you have to do is pick group or the page, add the feed URL, and you're done.
PostPlanner addresses the most Frequent Issue With the status of Facebook upgrade, and that is the time-zone difference. For instance: If I want to print a"Good Morning" message on my Facebook page, I will be posting it at 8 A.M. IST, however for nations other than India, it may be evening or afternoon.
This destroys the degree of personalization, Along with your page gets rather than being a worldwide page. With PostPlanner's automobile time-zone conversion, even when you schedule an upgrade for 8 A.M., then it will be posted at 8 A.M. local time for India, and 8 A.M. local time for the U.S., etc.. You will find info regarding this feature that is excellent here.
Queue time: You can set time for queuing your post. This can help you to avoid having to set the time when you are scheduling a post. As buffering your post on 11, it will be the same.
Create a list: this attribute will make your Facebook automation simpler and more enjoyable If you manage many pages and groups.
No. Post Planner does not provide free trials for their plans. Upon enrolling users will be charged.

OSRAM 69527 7000w OFR Xenon Discharge Lamps are intensely bright and offer excellent color rendering. Originally introduced in 1954 for cinema projection, OSRAMs innovation of XBO technology was awarded an OSCAR in 1984 for revolutionizing the film industry. Since then, the scope of applications for these high wattage XBO lamps have continued to broaden, and now they are used in spotlights for stage, studio and theatre applications, in searchlights and even in solar simulators.
The most recent innovation has been the development of XBO lamps for digital cinema projection. Designed with shorter arc gaps, these lamps provide the higher level of point-source intensity needed for today's more demanding cinema projection systems.


Welcome to Week 22 of The Meal Planning Linky. This is a linky hosted by Naomi at The Organised Life Project and Katy at Katykicker. Anyone is welcome to join – just check out the rules below.
Last week, we stuck to the meal plan pretty well. Tim was away for a few days with work so the chilli I cooked on the Tuesday was really useful – we had it with rice once, jacket potatoes once and nachos as planned. Despite planning pizza for Wednesday lunch time and thinking the boys would only need a sandwich for dinner, they were both really hungry after an afternoon of playing outside so I was glad the chilli stretched!
It's back to work for me this week, but Ben has Inset days on Monday and Tuesday, so he's going to stay with his grandparents for a couple of days. Inset days are really tricky for me as a parent and a teacher, as I can't take any time off and Tim can't either this week. So I'm really glad the grandparents have come to the rescue!
I'm trying the Healthy Mummy system this week. This is a meal planning and fitness app – they have a £1 trial for 28 days and then it is a bit more. The app so far is really easy to use but the meals don't look terribly substantial! I'll let you know how I get on.
Saturday: Ben and I are off to the Big Church Day Out North for the day. We'll have burgers from a van or something similar and take some sandwiches.
Sunday: Likely to be just Samuel and I as Tim will be taking Ben to his grandparents. We'll have omelettes or fish fingers – something easy.
Oooh, the veggie skewers sound nice. My partner would like the steak pittas too. I'm being healthy too but not using an app. I am not cutting calories, just fat and sugar.
A fab meal plan as always. Love the sound of the chicken skewers and chicken stir fry, as well as the steak and salad pitas. Hope your first week back goes smoothly.
Hooray for grandparents coming to the rescue!
Good luck with the Healthy Mummy system. I haven't heard of that before.
Hi – the linkup app wouldn't let me add my link to your post as I got a message saying I'd already added (which I had to Katy's)….! I love a good meal plan and first started creating one when I went to Uni 30 years ago (yes I was popular with my room mates!). It comes as second nature to me now and on the rare occasion when I don't have one I feel lost when I go grocery shopping!
Such variety of the meals this week! I love them. Never tried fish pot pie so I must give that a go one of these days.


Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachencko and Puerto Rican Jose Pedraza put their belts on the line in a unification fight in New York.
Both fighters make their first defence, Pedraza, coming off a UD title win against all action fighter, Raymundo Beltran, and Lomachencko, coming off a stoppage win over slick, experienced boxer, Jorge Linares, getting up off the deck to win the title.
Lomachencko is a very heavy favourite, and expected to win with ease as he did in every fight he had been 2015 and 2017.
Pedraza starts confidently, moves his head, feints, and is clearly well prepared for Lomachencko's style, he throws more punches in the early rounds, but in every round, Lomachencko, although not active, is defensively solid, and able to land a couple of stand out shots.
The mid rounds are more action packed, as both fighters land more punches, Pedraza throws more shots, but Lomachencko's blocking is solid, and he is the much more accuracte fighter.
Pedraza seems the more fatuiged in the late rounds, and Lomachencko seems to be the one who has it physically and tactically in the locker to come on strong, late, Pedraza does rally, have a good 10th round, attacking going backwards and having success, but in round 11, Lomachencko has him in bother, and the accumulation of punches drops Pedraza to a knee, he beats the count, but an agonising body shot from Lomachencko drops him again, once again, Pedraza beats the count. Lomachencko is aggressive in the last round, but doesn't put Pedraza down again.
Lomachencko wins a landslide UD, defends his WBA title, and beats Pedraza for his WBO title.
Vasyl Lomachencko is the 2nd best boxer in the world in my opinion, he was great at 126, great at 130, and he has made a great start to his career at 135, he is in his prime, he has only had one fight at 135, but that went past 9 rounds, and this fight should be all the adaptation he needs, I think he is big enough to be strong at 135, but he he didn't have it all his own way against Linares, who decked him, although still, Lomachencko, finishing the fight with a spectacular, agonising body shot.
Jose Pedraza is good, he has had a start stop career, certainly didn't look good against Edner Cherry and Gervonta Davis, but against Stephen Smith and Raymundo Beltran, he impressed. Pedraza is good, he is in his prime, he is experienced, is a two-time world champion in his own right, but I do not think he is better than Linares, I don't think he is better than Walters, Sosa, and I don't think he can give Lomachencko problems.
Pedraza has a size advantage, but so did Linares, Lomachencko is now more adapted to 135, and Linares was still well beaten. I think Lomachencko is so skilful, that he can outbox, out smart, school Pedraza from the start, Pedraza has some power, if he lands clean on Lomachencko's chin, it could get interesting, but Lomachencko's defence is phenomenal, has only slacked off with his defence before, because the fights were too easy, and I don't think Pedraza can throw without being countered.
I think this will be an easy win for Lomachencko, I think he will win every single round, beat Pedraza to the punch, and outwork him, just like he did against Sosa, Walters, Rigondeaux, Marriaga, and I think after 8 rounds, they will pull him out, when rounds 7 and 8 have been a beatdown, and Lomachencko is just using him as a punching bag with ease, when Pedraza has had it beaten out of him and is only there because of his pride in not quitting, his corner will do the right thing, stop the fight.
I think Pedraza will be made to look bad, but is a top 5 lightweight, I don't think anyone apart from Mikey Garcia can give Lomachencko problems, but the Garcia fight is the fight we all want to see, if Lomachencko beats Pedraza (as he 99% will), then Garcia and Lomachencko will each have two belts, so the winner would be the undisputed lightweight champion.
This is a win/win fight for Pedraza, nobody is expecting him to win, people won't be unimpressed if he doesn't win a round on a scorecard, he has a title to lose, but he has already achieved a lot, this is a great opportunity, he should just try his best, no shame in losing to a great fighter.
What a performance from Jose Pedraza!, Pedraza did great, was always moving, switched stance at the right times, attacked Lomachencko in combinations and then got out of range, went to the body, he had studied Lomachencko's style, had a good game plan. I think Lomachencko was slightly off in this fight, was a good performance overall, but not great, I wonder if that shoulder is 100%, I would say probably not, his right hand wasn't that useful in this fight, mentally, he seemed to struggle a bit, but Lomachencko is adaptable, when the fight was competitive, Lomachencko came back with an 11th round like that.
Mostly agree with you...Pedraza's defense was awesome...it did look like Loma's B-game...however, Loma's defense was exceptional (as usual) and Pedraza missed almost all his punches - so it's hard to give JP too much credit.
A lot of them were partially blocked, but he landed enough to win a few rounds.
Yeah I agree with that, basically, a pro's fight, not the sort of fight the amateur game fully prepares you for.
It is sad that boxing politics is like this, someone, some people, do not want Mikey anywhere near Lomachencko, so in order to get in a meaningful fight before he gets old, Mikey is jumping up, taking a big risk, and doing Thruman, Crawford's work for them, there are welterweights, Thurman, Pacquiao, who don't want Spence, and Mikey is obviously no welterweight.
I think Lomachencko's shoulder was a big factor last night.
Yeah, I'm usually on this site a lot and pretty much watch/score every medium-to-major fight. Please include me in the prediction competition and let me know how to do it.
Here's how it works, you make a prediction, outcome, and UD, S/MD, Early (1-4), Mid (5-8), or late (9-12).
Get the outcome wrong, 0 points.
Get a draw right, 7 points.
That's basically how the points work.
Ok will do. Do I post on the Fight vault for PCOM forum thread?


I'm sure every writer wishes there was a way to get their brilliant thoughts into a Word document exactly as intended, perfect first time. Instead most of us labor away at a first draft, delete and rewrite endlessly, and then tinker (so-called "polishing") for far too long after that to end up with something that's not even halfway as fantastic as it was when our brains first thought it up.
There's no magic device to achieve the first stage -- the first draft -- but I have a tool that seems to work wonders: an Alphasmart.
I can write at least 1000 words an hour like this, sometimes twice that. I know it's very rough stuff, but at least it's a draft. Writers write, then they edit. The Alphasmart stops me doing both at the same time.
Kristin Nelson just blogged about The People Versus George Lucas - an independent documentary by and about fans (and ex-fans) of Lucas and the Star Wars movies. Like many who grew up with Star Wars, I was disappointed by the sequels. As the opening crawl of Episode 1 began, I held my breath at the words "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." only to feel my jaw drop in dismay when I read about the "alarming chain of events" with regard to taxation disputes.
I saw the second movie with low hopes but was let down nevertheless. I wrote a scathing review for the screenwriting class I was taking at the time. I remember scribbling on a notepad in the dark, wishing I knew shorthand, so I could later quote some of the awful dialogue between the lovebirds.
As for Episode 3, I've seen bits of it on TV but never paid enough attention to follow the plot.
Flashback to happier times... My dad took me and my brother to see the original movie in 1978. We children were given the choice - Star Wars with dad, or International Velvet with mum. My two sisters chose the latter - a "sequel" to the 1944 Elizabeth Taylor movie National Velvet. For some reason I picked Star Wars - perhaps because I wasn't quite old enough to have entered the "horse-mad" stage that many young girls go through.
We didn't go to the cinema much as children. I don't remember the movie having a huge effect on me (I don't think I even saw the next two at the cinema) but it's the only movie where I can recall exactly where I sat and exactly what the cinema looked like.
Song of Scarabaeus is science fiction with what I call "a touch of romance", or what the industry calls "romantic elements." (I use the former description because the romantic elements are very light - I wanted to allow room for development in a sequel.) Other subgenres include mystery, suspense, adventure, historical, literary, etc. Then there's "futuristic romance," which reads like a romance novel but in a sci-fi setting (the relationship is at least as important as the plot). Examples I've enjoyed are Linnea Sinclair and CJ Barry. I enjoy a good romance - in fact, I prefer to see a romance in just about any fiction I'm reading - and I belong to our local Romance Writers of America chapter.
Last night I watched a couple of episodes of Morphed, the Nat Geo program that follows the evolution of one line of animals (dinosaur to turkey; land mammal to whale). The narrator has a gorgeous rich voice and sounds just like Worf's brother (but is not). Anyway, as a former biology major I love this kind of thing. The land mammal-to-whale story took millions of years but in Song of Scarabaeus I found a way to speed up "evolution" - quote marks used because it doesn't work the same way as normal evolution at all. It might be called "guided evolution".
And not guided in the sense of animal breeders creating new kinds of dogs through selective breeding. In Song, evolution occurs when tailor-made retroviruses alter the genes of plants and animals to change the organisms during their lifetimes. (These changes are also passed on to offspring.) This usually takes place on planets with very primitive life, organisms with short reproductive cycles, so an entire ecosystem can get a facelift in a few months or years.
The objective is to create an ecosystem suitable for human life - removing the toxins, balancing the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, creating topsoil and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and so on. At least, that's when things go right.
When things go wrong, anything can happen... anything my imagination can dream up!
Australia's southeast just had its worst day of bushfires on record, reporting 96 dead and hundreds of homes lost. My sister and her family live right in the middle of the affected area. They stayed with their home after spending days "preparing for World War Three," as my sister put it. Their home is mudbrick, not wood, and is surrounded by grassland, not trees. And they had a brick shed to retreat to if a grassfire (lit by burning embers) came through. As of today, the fire has moved through and doesn't seem to have hit their township.
All this reminded me of Ash Wednesday - Australia's previous worst bushfire disaster in 1983. Our family had just immigrated to Australia a couple of years before. My grandfather in England heard of the terrible fires on the news and called us to see if we were okay. We lived in the suburbs and could smell the smoke in the air, but were never in danger.
I was amazed he would think otherwise, but he had only the news reports to go by. He had no sense of the size of our city, the suburbs, or the proximity of the bushfires beyond that zone. It's hard to get a sense of scale when you're looking from the outside with limited information.
Joss Whedon has a new TV show starting next week, which reminded me about Firefly. I loved that show. My husband has the Serenity Role Playing Game book - he plays D&D but has never tried this game. We just like the pictures. My favorite part of the book - actually, the only part I understand because I don't play RPGs - is the plan-diagrams of various spaceships from the RPG 'verse.
Much of Song of Scarabaeus takes place on a ship, so I knew early on I'd need a diagram of it to keep directions and locations straight. Similarly, for an unrelated book I'm writing, I needed a plan of the huge house where my heroine lives. I was addicted to Lego as a child, usually making houses with the generic blocks that were more readily available in those days (these days it all seems to come in kits). Another addiction was drawing house plans, so all this is huge fun for me.
But now I desperately want the same kind of thing for creating spaceships. Or maybe I need to take a technical drawing class so I can draw blueprints like the ones in the Serenity book. Failing that, I'm stuck with my pathetic line drawings made in Word. Now don't laugh, but here's a deck of the Hoi Polloi, the ship from Song of S (click to enlarge).
This only includes the rooms actually mentioned in the book - there are various nooks and crannies, and of course the bulkheads are not 2mm thick as the diagram implies. The faint line around the edge is the outline of the lower three decks (topdeck is smaller).
Until this week, I was an editor. I worked for 12 years in the publishing industry as a project editor and a freelance copyeditor, mostly in educational publishing. While this taught me a lot about publishing and writing, it's also turned out to be a hindrance. I can't turn off my inner editor.
When a writer is asked how one becomes a writer, a frequent answer (certainly the one I'd give) is that to become a writer you have to write. Write lots. And get something finished. Many an aspiring writer has a "bottom drawer" (i.e. computer folder) full of first chapters, myself included. You have to write something, finish it and then polish it.
Bear with me - these two thoughts are related: I have trouble finishing that first draft because I edit as I go. I hate leaving behind a sentence until I'm happy with it. I can't move on from a shoddy paragraph until its been edited to death. Rewriting a chapter until it satisfies me and moving on to the next is a major milestone. What this means is that even though I can write thousands of words in a day, my word count might rise only a few hundred or even go backwards.
I'm learning to overcome this. I have given myself permission to write crap. The important thing is to get that story transferred from my head to the Word file. No one else reads my first draft, ever. I wouldn't show it to my husband, let alone my critique group.
What made me think of this is that instead of writing my sequel, I spent the day re-reading the first book (fiddling as I went, of course - just a little) and remembering the long process of mashing that manuscript into shape from its pathetic first draft. A shape that scored me an agent, so it must have something going for it.


The Pine Street Counseling Services of Howard Center in Burlington, Vermont, is an outpatient substance abuse treatment facility that mainly serves adult clients with co-occurring disorders. Treatment is based on evidence-based practices.
Clients coming to the Pine Street facility are typically self-referred, though some clients are recommended after receiving a DUI, and undergo an initial assessment with an intake counselor to determine the level of care that they need. The treatment is individualized and the client can attend group or individual therapy sessions up to three times a week. Treatment approach incorporates CBT, DBT, and behavior modification and Motivational Interviewing (MI). For those with a dual diagnosis there are medication management services offered as well.
Specialty therapy groups may focus on trauma-related symptoms or clients who may have experienced PTSD. The group sessions are a mix of men and women and are kept fairly small in size, usually under 12. Relapse prevention, anger management, and job skills training are also integrated into programming.

Йо́зеф А́дельбрехт (; ) — австрийский футболист, играл на позиции нападающего. Известен по выступлениям за австрийский клуб «Фёрст», а также национальную сборную Австрии.

Обладатель Кубка Митропы 1931 года, трёхкратный чемпион Австрии и трёхкратный обладатель Кубка Австрии.

Клубная карьера
В составе клуба «Ферст» выступал с 1929 по 1934 год. Обладатель Кубка Митропы 1931 года, двукратный чемпион Австрии и обладатель Кубка Австрии.

Во время сезона 1934/35 годов перешел в команду «Расинг» (Париж), где выступал знаменитый австрийский вратарь Рудольф Хиден. Команда заняла третье место в чемпионате Франции того сезона, а по его завершению Адельбрехт присоединился к составу швейцарской команды «Грассгоппер» (Цюрих).

Во второй части сезона 1935/36 Йозеф вернулся в Австрию в команду «Аустрия» (Вена). Сыграл 4 матча в чемпионате, в которых забил 3 гола. Также сыграл два матча в победном для команды розыгрыше кубка Австрии 1936 года. В одном из них в 1/8 финала забил три гола в ворота команды «Линцер» (9:0). В решающих матчах кубка не играл. Так же не сыграл Адельбрехт ни одного матча в кубке Митропы 1936 года, в котором «Аустрия» праздновала победу. В «Аустрии» была стабильная и сыгранная линия нападения в составе Риглер — Штро — Синделар — Ерузалем — Фиртль. Йозеф так и не сумел вытеснить кого-то из них из основы, и в сезоне 1936/37 годов также играл не регулярно — 8 матчей (6 голов) в чемпионате и один в кубке. Команда завоевала серебряные медали первенства.

Сезон 1937/38 годов Адельбрехт начал в составе в команды «Рапид», где завоевал третий титул чемпиона Австрии в карьере, хотя также не был игроком основы. В 1938/39 годах играл в составе новичка высшего дивизиона клуба «Аустро Фиат» (Вена). Стал лучшим бомбардиром команды и помог сохранить место в элите. В частности, именно дубли Йозефа помогли «Аустро Фиату» завоевать одно очко в матчах с сильными «Фёрстом» и «Рапидом», которые завершились ничьей с одинаковым счетом 2:2. Также Адельбрехт забил победный гол в матче с будущим чемпионом «Адмирою», когда «Аустро Фиат» неожиданно победил в гостях со счетом 4:3. Клуб, в зимнее межсезонье сменил название на «Аматере-Фиат», занял 7 место в чемпионате (при 10 участниках турнира), а Йозеф забил 14 голов.

Следующего сезона Адельбрехт играл в клубе не высшей лиги чемпионата Австрии — «Ред Стар» (Вена). В 1941 году вновь выступал в высшей австрийской лиге за «Флоридсдорф». В частности, отметился голом в игре против «Адмиры» завершилась ничьей 3:3.

В том же 1941 году был призван на фронт. Погиб на территории СССР во время операции «Барбаросса», место смерти неизвестно.

Выступления за сборную
В 1930 году дебютировал в официальных матчах в составе национальной сборной Австрии в поединке против сборной Венгрии (1:2).

Всего в 1930—1933 годах сыграл в составе национальной команды 3 матча, в которых забил 1 гол. В частности, принимал участие, в 1931 году в матче против сборной Венгрии (0:0) в рамках кубка Центральной Европы 1932-32, выигранного австрийской сборной.

Также регулярно играл в составе сборной Вены. Учитывая то, что все сильнейшие австрийские футболисты выступали в венских клубах, сборная Вены была фактически той же сборной Австрии, только с более расширенным списком игроков. И тренировал команду тот самый наставник — знаменитый Хуго Майсль. Забивал в голы сборным Братиславы (2:1, 1930) и Будапешта (6:0, 1932), а в воротах сборной Праги отличился дважды (5:2, 1931). Также в 1934 году сыграл в составе сборной Австрия-Б в поединке против сборной Италия-Б, который завершился поражением со счетом 0:2.

Q: WPF Plug-ins in Windows Forms application I am used to WPF Development. But recently, i am assigned to Windows Forms projects. Fortunately, application framework supports pluggable architecture and that's why i feel i can develop plugin in WPF.
If we safely assume that framework doesn't need more than a interface to detect a plugin, I have following questions:

*

*First of all, is it a good idea to develop WPF plugin for the given scenario?

*Are there any guidelines available which i should follow? Any Examples?

*Will it be a good idea to design some abstraction layer specially for WPF plugins rather than depending on interface?

Thanks in advance.

A: Yeah, we have huge project called "Plugins" which is basically WPF App/Windows loaded via additional app domain.
I think in your case depends if you Windows Forms are in .NET 2 or .NET3.5. If it is .NET 3.5 then you dont need additional app domain to load .NET 3.5 with WPF.
If you are already in .NET 3.5 with your WinForms, then you can use ElementHost to host your WPF inside WinForms.
Apart from few glitches (like not repainting the form sometimes), it went quite smoothly in our case
As to your Qs:

*

*Usually it is better to do everything in WPF, but do u have a choice ? (I dont think so)

*Lookup an example on WPF ElementHost

*Well, I would use MVVM with WPF so that later on you can chnage the UI bit (maybe Silverlight or Win8 metro) without chnaging much of the business layer logic

What Your Partner Values About You Most, Based On Their Zodiac Sign
By Jordan Bissell
Cookie Studio for Bustle
If you've been in a relationship with your partner for a while, chances are that the two of you aren't as good about affirming each other's best qualities as you were in the beginning of the romance. After some time, it can be easy to forget what made them fall in love with you in the first place. But your partner's zodiac sign can provide some major hints about what your partner values about you most, according to experts.
"Usually what each astrology sign values most in a partner can be found by looking at their opposite sign," Lisa Barretta, astrologer and author of Conscious Ink, tells Bustle. "The shadow or opposite sign is usually where we find our unexpressed nature since the Sun sign rules the Ego or outward nature." While a sun sign can give you a good idea of what your partner values, the more in depth you go with an astrology chart, the more you'll be able to understand what each sign values based on the condition of the second astrological house and the placement of the planet Venus, Barretta says.
Everyone has multiple great qualities that make them beloved by their partner. But here is what your partner values most about you, according to their zodiac sign.
1. Aries (March 21 - April 19): Your Drive
Tina Gong for Bustle
Passion and success are pretty universally attractive traits, but to an Aries, your enthusiasm for chasing after what you want is really something to love. "This fire sign is very appreciative of your go-getter attitude," astrologer Tiffani Purdy tells Bustle. "An Aries knows nothing is impossible for a self-starter."
2. Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Your Shared Tastes
"Fixed earth sign Taurus is most satisfied by the comforts in life," says Purdy. "They love nothing more than a partner who not only understands but caters to their taste for the finer things in life." Romance your partner by trying out new food trends together or treating them to a luxurious spa day.
3. Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Your Ability To Listen
Do you and your Gemini partner never run out of things to talk about? Your interest in a variety of topics is probably what your partner values about you most, says Purdy. "Chatty Gemini is stimulated by intellectual conversations," she says. "They want to know you're listening and have your own thoughts about the subject."
4. Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Your Loyalty
"Cancer looks for romance and emotional security," Barretta says. Your partner values the fact that you would never consider cheating, and that you care deeply about every detail of your relationship. Show your Cancer partner you care by understanding their sensitivities and getting close with their family, she suggests.
5. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22): Your Deep Love For Them
After the honeymoon phase of a relationship, it can be easy to slip into the habit of dropping all of the little romantic gestures that came at the beginning. But to your Leo partner, knowing how deeply you love them is most valuable. "Fiery, flamboyant Leo loves to know you love them truly," Purdy says. Demonstrate that you're loyal and that you're devoted to the relationship.
6. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): You're Supportive
"Steady Virgo has a clear vision of how things should be," says Purdy. Knowing that you support them in their goals, dreams, and passions is what a partner with this sign values most, she says. But don't just tell your Virgo partner you'll do anything to support them. Show them too by helping however you can.
7. Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): Your Take-Charge Attitude
Deciding where to go for dinner, what do to on the weekend, and which Netflix show to start next can be a real struggle in a relationship where neither person can decide. But a Libra really values someone who can make firm decisions, Barretta says. "This sign needs a strong, romantic, take charge, take care of me type of person," she says. While it's always important to be considerate of your Libra partner's wishes, don't hesitate to choose a new paint color if they really can't decide. They'll love you for it.
8. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Your Ability To Understand Them
"Scorpio desires loyalty, confidentiality, and an understanding of their deep, dark, broody moods that sometimes come to the surface," Barretta says. If you're in a relationship with a Scorpio, they won't appreciate it if you even jokingly try to make them jealous. Instead, be sure to be empathetic to your partner's needs and feelings, because an ability to empathize like this is important to them.
9. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Your Easygoing Personality
Are you always ready to jet off to a new place or try an extreme sport like skydiving or hang gliding? Know that your Sagittarius partner really values your sense of adventure and enthusiasm for athletic activities, says Barretta. Your partner desires to always be on the go, so don't be afraid to join them on their next weekend jetaway.
10. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): Your Similar Values
"Capricorns are the cardinal earth sign — they are practical leaders, always climbing the ladder of success," Drew Allen, an astrologer and founder of Angelite Astrology, tells Bustle. But your partner doesn't want to be alone in their accomplishments. Instead, they really love having a partner who shares their success and their values, she says. Also, Capricorns love to cuddle, so if you make an excellent spooning partner, you're doing great.
11. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Your Ability To Do Your Own Thing
While some couples need to spend a good deal of time together to feel secure in their relationships, Aquariuses don't feel that way. While Allen says that they value feeling like their partner is their BFF, they also understand that such a strong bond means not needing to be connected 24/7. "Best friends don't get offended when we experience periods of needing to break free and float around for a bit," she says. "Aquarians are the free-spirited social butterflies of the zodiac." Don't feel pressured to stick to conventional relationship models with your Aquarius partner if that's not what works for the two of you.
12. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20): Your Thoughtfulness
"Pisces is the mutable water sign, ruled by Neptune, which is definitely the dreamiest planet, but with dreams comes confusion," says Allen. Your delicate partner needs a person who understands them and is thoughtful about how to make them feel more grounded, she says, so being a reliable source of comfort and companionship is really important to them.
While knowing what your partner appreciates most about you is great for helping you understand how to show them love, never feel like you have to change yourself to become what their zodiac sign suggests they want. Instead, ask them what gestures you're already doing that mean the most to them. Don't forget to take a moment to appreciate yourself for all of the great qualities your partner sees in you.

SINGAPORE is known across the globe for its food, and often referred to as one of the top culinary capitals of the world. With such a solid reputation at stake, it is little wonder that food innovation in the country has been spiking and this is not just referring to chefs in restaurants.
Increasingly, more local food companies and local institutions have begun to take advantage of new market opportunities in the field of food manufacturing by driving innovation.
"As consumers are becoming more knowledgeable and independent in making decisions with regard to nutrition, there is a growing need for the food industry to suit consumers' changing needs and demands," said Loke Wai Mun, Nanyang Polytechnic lecturer and Principal Investigator, Centre for Functional Food & Human Nutrition (CFFHN).
Several small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have started to invest in strengthening their research and development departments, while others have collaborated with educational institutions to keep up with the evolving palates of consumers.
Poli Medical and Freshen Group are two such SMEs that have focused on food innovation to take their companies to the next level.
"As a company with a longer history, there was definitely room for me to introduce new processes, productivity improvements and innovation for new customer segments," said Dylan Hu, director, Poli Medical and Founder, TruLife.
He noted that when he first joined Poli Medical a few years ago, he found that the company relied on manual bottling, which was a very labour intensive process. With the help of grants from Spring Singapore and International Enterprise Singapore, he embarked on a productivity drive, and started automating the processes.
Another example of food innovation is TruLife, a new brand launched by Poli Medical that offers effective combinations of herbal and natural remedies in convenient ready-to-drink bottles to suit the lifestyles of modern professionals.
"The roots of Poli Medical's origins lie in Eng Hong Medical Hall, which was set up by my grandfather in the 1950s. He was a traditional chinese medicine (TCM) physician, catering to the TCM needs of the local community," he explained.
"To meet the increasing demand from a growing pool of customers, my father who was then a young entrepreneur like myself, set up Poli Medical in 1971, and went into the business of manufacturing, wholesaling and distribution of traditional chinese medicine and formulations. Today, Poli Medical is a third-generation family business."
As for Freshen Group, food innovation was the very foundation of its existence, according to founder Pamela Phua.
"I grew a love for soups during my childhood under my maternal grandmother's influence. When I started working, my grandmother would surprise me during late nights in the office with her homemade Cantonese soups," she says.
"This eventually sparked the idea of developing traditional soups that are convenient yet authentic in taste and quality, just as they have been brewed for hours at home. I wanted to bring the nourishing goodness of double-boiled soup to busy urbanites, without the hassle of peeling, skinning, slicing and dicing, and labouring over the stove for hours."
Despite having a background in communications, she took a leap of faith and ventured into food manufacturing.
Ms Phua pointed out that double-boiled Chinese soups have traditionally been enjoyed for their health-boosting properties in addition to their taste. However, she realised that a good bowl of Chinese soups takes time to prepare. She also noticed that the retail packaged soup market is dominated by western flavours and tended to be highly processed.
"I started developing the Freshen Food brand with a vision of bringing food that is convenient, healthy and true to tradition in terms of both taste and approach, to consumers. Our home-style soups are traditional soups that fit into our modern lifestyles, without sacrificing nutrition," she explained.
The Food Innovation Resource Centre (FIRC) in Singapore Polytechnic and the CFFHN by Nanyang Polytechnic are some of the available resources that SMEs have tapped and collaborated with to develop food innovation.
For Freshen Group, the result could not have been achieved without collaborating with FIRC.
"FIRC was in fact my first port-of-call before I decided to embark on this business venture. FIRC's partnership therefore formed the foundation on which Freshen Food Home-Style Soups are born," said Ms Phua.
She explained that almost two years ago, she met FIRC to explore the feasibility of product development.
"FIRC's R&D team was confident that the concept can be packaged in a retort pouch format, complete with freshly-cooked ingredients, while maintaining shelf-stability for over a year without preservatives - which was very important to me." She was very impressed by their openness, technical expertise and practical advice.
"We were able to determine the R&D goals very quickly, based on which FIRC scoped the R&D process to include packaging format, retort parameters and shelf-life evaluation. When we first commenced R&D, my grandmother cooked a round of soups in the lab as a demonstration for the FIRC team. From then on, my grandmother would come to the lab with me to taste many variations of the lab-created soups - some good, many bad. FIRC had to tweak its processes many times before we could pass my grandmother's standards," she said.
Poli Medical is another SME that has collaborated with FIRC, even with an in-house R&D team.
"When I first started exploring innovative new products for TruLife, we were still in the midst of setting up an internal R&D team. However, I realised that there were resources and institutions available who could support SMEs like ourselves. I decided to approach Singapore Polytechnic's FIRC. With their support, I was able to accelerate the new product development cycle for TruLIfe, instead of waiting for the internal team to be fully-established," said Mr Hu.
Poli Medical now has an internal R&D team headed by Mr Hu's uncle, Foo Vin Wee, who has been with the family business for over 25 years and who is also a TCM practitioner.
Mr Hu added that after having their own team, he is looking at other possibilities for collaboration, such as the CFFHN.
SMEs in Singapore are constantly looking for ways to come up with innovative functional food products that cater to consumers, and ensuring that their products are safe and relevant in today's market, said Dr Loke from CFFHN.
"By providing the expertise required for functional food research, the CFFHN can assist food companies to develop innovative functional foods and to validate the functionality of their novel food products," he said.
Dr Loke added that the centre is working with several SMEs in validating the functional properties of their food products.
"There is a growing trend for the Singapore food industry to focus on functional foods, as its consumption is a cost-effective and consumer-acceptable way to improve health. This trend will become even more urgent as the population of Singaporeans aged 65 years and above increases in the next 10 years."
As the concept of functional foods is still relatively new to SMEs in Singapore, the investment required is usually quite substantial, said Dr Loke.
"Development fund and incentives, such as tax incentives, to ensure a profitable return on successful products would be required to encourage more SMEs to pursue functional food development in Singapore," he concluded.
