They are now more interested in negotiating higher prices as the livestock is treated, vaccinated and of a much healthier constitution. Livestock traders have already noticed an improved quality and availability of cattle and pigs in the targeted area. These households are all living far below the poverty line so that the fattening of their pigs represents a legal and lucrative income activity. Honouring this exemplary initiative, the project provided the roofing sheets, fattening feed and training on how to mix the feed ratios and supplements. The villages had even plotted some areas to grow the Ruzi grass. They then invited the project to come and check asking to be supported with roofing sheets and the specialised feed. Their animal health care workers had invited all the households to construct pig pens with material that they had available. Some neighbouring villages have already made their interest known to follow the guidelines, amongst them the small villages of Loi Kye 1&2 and the 11 households of the La Hu Shi tribe (usually nomadic) have surpassed the project’s expectations. Obviously, the project is supporting these model farms with the specialised feed (local production in Myanmar) but only for 6 months as the business plan then allows for the breeding farm to run sustainably on its own. The farmers have also noted that the local variety pigs if kept according to the improved techniques have a much healthier aspect. The first trials have shown that by using the improved feeding plan, the fattening period of the local black mountain pig can be reduced from 16 to 6 months and reaching a good marketable size. The pig model farm promotes the construction of a pig pen, use of specialised animal fattening feed (which does not need cooking) and supplements like Ruzi grass, cleaning of the stables twice daily and regular treatments/vaccinations (including castration of male pigs). Due to this traditional way of keeping small livestock, the animals are left mostly to their own demise which increases spreading of diseases, excrements and last but not least destroying vegetable gardens and eating any garbage they can find. They get fed once a day with leftovers or if the family can afford it with some cooked rice bran. The farmers then signed an agreement to follow the new breeding techniques, improved feeding plan and products, as well as to apply humane husbandry practices.Īlthough small livestock like poultry and pigs are kept close to the houses, the animals are free to roam around throughout the day. The MYA/002 team selected 5 farmers willing to start a pig model farm after training Community Animal Health Care Workers in each village and running several information campaigns amongst the 70 targeted villages. The Eastern Shan State Rural Development and Inclusion Project, MYA/002, recently established 5 pig model farms in selected villages of the target area south-west of Kyaing Tong city in Eastern Shan State.

10/12/2023 0 Comments Loan mortgage calculatorWe’re here to help you make an informed decision for your next home loan, and encourage you to use our mortgage calculator to compare different home loan options and calculate potential repayments. So, it's important to budget accordingly. Taking out a home loan is an important step in the home buying process and your loan repayments will be one of your biggest living costs once you do by a home. Our home loan repayments calculator also allows you to opt for either a principal and interest or interest-only loan, and see how much you could save in interest if you made regular extra repayments over the life of your loan. If you're not sure about what interest rate to apply, you can use the default interest rate provided or use an advertised comparison rate to get a more accurate estimate of your home loan repayments. For example, if the property is valued at $650,000 and you have a 20% deposit of $130,000 then the principal loan amount is $520,000. The principal loan amount is the amount of money you plan to borrow from your bank or lender. To use our mortgage repayment calculator, there are a few key pieces of information you will need to get the most accurate estimate of your mortgage repayments. When you take out a home loan, you are required to make regular minimum interest repayments (as well as any fees) for the amount you have borrowed. How to calculate your mortgage repayments If added, your extra repayment is taken to be made at the same time as your monthly repayment. When selecting interest-only (IO) repayments, it is assumed the loan reverts to principal and interest (P&I) repayments after five years.weekly and fortnightly loan repayment amounts are assumed to be a quarter and a half of the monthly repayment amount respectively. In practice, repayment amounts can change for a variety of reasons. We assume that this repayment amount is payable for the loan term. only your initial repayment amount is calculated.interest is charged to the loan account at the same frequency and on the same day as the repayments are made (this may not be the case in practice).your annual interest charge is divided equally over 12 monthly payments (in practice, interest is calculated daily and charged monthly which can lead to your interest charge varying between months).We make the following assumptions about repayments: Interest and repayments: The displayed total interest payable is the interest for the loan term, calculated on the entered interest rate.an interest only rate which, in practice, will only apply for a limited period after which a different rate will apply.Interest rates: We assume that the rate you enter, is the rate that will apply to your loan for the full loan term even if you choose:.Loan term and loan amount: We assume the loan term and loan amount are what you enter into the calculator.We have made a number of assumptions when producing the calculations including: The figures are based upon the information you put into the calculator. The figures provided should be used as an estimate only, should not be relied on as true indication of your home loan repayments, or a quote or indication of pre-qualification for any home loan product. On the other hand, the digital effects of the ship about to crash on the rocks are painful. You have to commend that it does produce a period atmosphere quite well within these limitations. On the minus side, the film is low budget. “The film is on the slow side but Cooper produces a passable atmosphere and even occasionally spooky moments. Some of the camera cuts between scenes feel too quick and off-putting, but the film at time seems to be nightmarish, so perhaps this plays into a disorientation factor.” Monkeys Fighting Robots The cinematography is just right for the story, but some of the camera work feels very Indie, but not completely amateurish. On the whole, Cooper and Edge have been able to offer a narrative that fits with Poe’s unfinished story and captures the spirit of the author’s earlier work.” Horror DNA The film is on the slow side but Cooper produces passable atmosphere and even. “Working with a tiny budget, the movie probably falls short of its creators’ ultimate vision, but it should please fans of Poe, touching upon his themes of guilt, dread, isolation, and paranoia. Between Vernon Wells’s brooding lighthouse keeper who recites sections of Poe’s Lenore (1843) while drunk, the mystery girl on the beach, the phantoms and Matt O’Neill’s amnesia, director Benjamin Cooper provides an adequate assemblage of ghost story elements.

It’s doomed to fall short of its creators’ ambitions but it has a pleasing sincerity and enough substance to entertain even those unfamiliar with Poe’s work. “A curiously arcane choice for today’s market, this is clearly a film made for love. “This film certainly gave eternal rest to “the good and the bad and the worst and the best” parts of Poe and his brilliant madness, but it also somewhat spoke to the quality of certain elements of the movie as well which is why CrypticRock gives Edgar Allan Poe’s Lighthouse Keeper 3 out of 5 stars.” Cryptic Rock 10/12/2023 0 Comments Moso natural air purifying bag friageGreat packaging, Fast delivery and easy to use website.

How do I interpret my screening results, and what happens next? Much like NIPT, insurance coverage for Integrated Screening varies widely. The first is that the abnormalities it looks for are limited - only Down syndrome, Trisomy 18 and open neural tube defects. Like NIPT, there are a couple negatives for Integrated Screening. The second blood draw ideally happens between 15 and 18 weeks and analyzes the levels of four serum analytes: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), total beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (total ß-hCG), unconjugated estriol (uE3), and inhibin-A. A measurement that’s thicker than normal can be a marker for Down syndrome. The ultrasound also is performed between the 11th and 13th week and measures the fluid-filled space at the back of the baby's neck, which is called the nuchal translucency. The purpose is to look at the levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein (PAPP-A), which tend to be lower than normal in pregnancies affected by Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. The first blood sample, gathered from the mother’s arm, is taken between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. All of the information from the tests is combined, or integrated, to give you information about your developing baby, including the risk for Down Syndrome, Trisomy 18 and open neural tube defects. Integrated Screening involves three tests: Two blood draws and an ultrasound. All three companies have genetic counselors available to discuss results. Other options for NIPT include MaterniT 21 and MaterniT GENOME, both through LabCorp, and Harmony. At Magnolia Birth House, we recommend Panorama through Natera because it is the most comprehensive in the abnormalities it screens for, and it is highly accurate. If you choose to participate in NIPT, there are three companies that can analyze the blood sample. You may also be eligible for a self-pay option or a discount if your household income is below a certain amount. Out-of-pocket expenses vary, depending on whether you’ve met your deductible. Insurance plans may not cover NIPT, especially if you don’t have risk factors. The first is that it does not screen for neural tube defects. A bonus of the screening is that it can determine the sex of your baby, but that is not a medical reason to opt for NIPT. NIPT can be performed as early as nine weeks of pregnancy and, because it is non-invasive, it carries no risk of miscarriage. Triploidy, which means the baby has a complete extra set of chromosomes for a total of 69 chromosomes, instead of the usual 46 Microdeletions, occur when a chromosome is missing a small piece Sex chromosome abnormalities, which is when there is an extra or missing copy of one of the sex chromosomes Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18, are rarer than Down syndrome Depending on the type of NIPT and the company analyzing the sample, it can also screen for the following. NIPT is done via a blood sample taken from the mother’s arm and tells the likelihood that the baby will have Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome, and other chromosomal abnormalities. NIPT analyzes that DNA, which is officially called cell-free DNA or cfDNA for short because it carries the baby’s genetic information. When a woman is pregnant, pieces of DNA from the placenta circulate in the mother’s bloodstream. Still, it’s important to know the pros and cons of both NIPT and Integrated Screening, so you can make an informed decision. If you choose to participate in prenatal genetic screening, you should know that, according to ACOG or ACNM, there is not one single screening or testing method that is superior to others. You have the option to decline the genetic screening. Two of the screening possibilities are non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and Integrated Screening.īoth the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) recommend prenatal genetic screening as an option for all pregnant people, regardless of age. During your first trimester of pregnancy, you will have the choice to undergo prenatal screening tests that give you information about the genetic health of your developing baby.

The Sun Belt has added teams like Southern Miss, Marshall, and Appalachian State- teams that have had proven success. An interesting aspect to all of this is that I noticed the AAC basically was focusing on adding markets rather than quality programs (not that all those teams are bad), which may turn out bad for them. Perhaps we’ll get more role reversals like this in the future. Next up for the Sun belt is hopefully a NY6 bowl berth, and I wouldn’t be shocked if for the next round of realignment they go to the top of the totem pole and actually get teams from the AAC. The AAC helped a bit by grabbing 6 C-USA teams, but the Sun belt got Southern Miss, Marshall, and Old Dominion- which have been some of the best programs in that conference. And the old conference members also did pretty well, with Louisiana also getting into the top 25.Īll of this lead to the most recent round of realignment, where the roles got reversed. Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina both had top 25 seasons. But as time went on those FCS teams actually highly benefitted the conference, Appalachian State and Georgia Southern ended up winning the conference multiple times. In fact, no Sun belt team had ever been ranked in the top 25. Even within the Group of 5, the sun belt was the lowest on the totem pole. Like half of the conference left for the C-USA, forcing the Sun belt to take in a lot of FCS teams and new programs. I remember when I first started really paying attention to College Football, the Sun belt was the one getting poached.
