'aku dan dunia''dunia dan aku'

This is just another great and highly innovative product in the world. As today, the water sources are much prone to pollution, this is the better ways to treat a tap water in 3rd world countries and much poorer water treatment facilities place around our world.
321 Water, a reusable water bottle with a built-in filtration system. It uses a French press-style plunger mechanism with a built-in carbon block filter. Made from recyclable materials, the wide-mouthed bottle can be filled from any tap. Then, users simply push the plunger down to the bottom of the bottle, and the filter removes any chlorine, unpleasant tastes and odours in an instant, leaving the water ready to drink. The 500 mL, screw-top 321 Water bottle is dishwasher-safe and BPA-free; each replaceable filter lasts for 50 L, or 100 uses.
321 Water doesn’t just save water and reduce the 80,000 tonnes of landfill created by disposable water bottles in Australia each year. The environmental impact of this product has been carefully considered at every stage of its life cycle from design, to manufacturing, to the way it is used, as well as its disposal at the end of life. So you can enjoy every last drop of 321 Water with a clear conscience.
This innovation have won the People's Choice Award on
ABC TV's New Inventors series this summer. Introductory pricing on the bottle is AUD 32.10, but Half a Teaspoon needs 10,000 Australian orders before it can begin production; delivery is anticipated by the end of March 2010.

Gretha Oost,
founder Half A TeaspoonAnother products by Half A Teaspoon is the ShowerWatch which is their first product which is now installed in 1,300 hotel bathrooms and hundreds of private homes around Australia. It is waterproof and used to keep track your shower time.

ShowerWatch was a finalist in 2006 Victorian Premier's Design Awards.

'aku dan dunia''dunia dan aku'USEPA has approved 25 methods for use by regulated entities required to sample and monitor under
"expedited" approval of drinking water analytical methods.
As detailed in a Nov. 10 Federal Register notice, the agency determined that the 25 methods are "equally effective" as certain currently approved methods. The newly approved methods include several developed by USEPA, by voluntary consesus standards bodies, and by vendors, as follows:
- EPA Method 334.0, Determination of Residual Chlorine in Drinking Water Using an On-line Chlorine Analyzer
Only continuous monitoring instruments that use N,N-Diethyl-p-phenylene diamine (DPD) chemistry are the only on-line chlorine analyzers that, prior to this action, met the drinking water regulatory requirement to use the same chemistry as an approved method).
http://epa.gov/safewater/methods/analyticalmethods_ogwdw.html.- EPA Method 302.0, Determination of Bromate in Drinking Waters using Two-Dimensional Ion Chromatography with Suppressed Conductivity Detection
Equally effective for measuring bromate concentrations as these approved methods: EPA Methods 300.1 (USEPA 2000), 317.0, Revision 2.0 (USEPA 2001), and 326.0 (USEPA 2002) and
can also meet the minimum reporting limit (MRL) requirements necessary for methods that are used to support the reduced bromate monitoring.
http://epa.gov/safewater/methods/analyticalmethods_ogwdw.html- EPA Method 557, Determination of Haloacetic Acids, Bromate, and Dalapon in Drinking Water by Ion Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry (IC-ESI-MS/MS).
Eliminates the labor intensive sample preparation steps (extraction and derivatization) that are required in the current methods that are approved for haloacetic acid determinations. It also reduces the use of solvents and potentially hazardous chemicals.
http://epa.gov/safewater/methods/analyticalmethods_ogwdw.html- EPA Method 415.3, Revision 1.2, Determination of Total Organic Carbon and Specific UV Absorbance at 254 nanometers (nm) in Source Water and Drinking Water
Revision 1.2 is equally effective as Revision 1.1. Revision 1.2 also corrects some typographical errors that are present in Revision 1.1. The modifications are documented in Wimsatt 2009. EPA is approving EPA Method 415.3, Revision 1.2 for determining TOC, DOC,UV
254, and SUVA in source water and drinking water.

Tips kat atas ni memang betul pun pada aku. Semuanya bermula time aku pegi berjalan kat melaka bebaru ni. Pegi satu tempat ikan bakar name
PARAMESWARA. Mmg terkenal kedai ni sebab ramai orang makan kat situ. Memang best pun sebab port tepi muara.
Tapi...yg menjadi masalahnya bukan sebab mahal (sebab duit gaji aku banyak lagi time tu), sikap pelayan dia yg kabut gila
babi disamping kualiti dan rasa makanan yg agak hampeh (lagi sedap masak sendiri). Sampaikan ade brader duk table sebelah memblahkan diri sendiri akibat busan menunggu disertakan dengan sikap pelayan yg langsung tak peramah! Dia order ketam wa cakap lu...4 ekor lagi tu..
Then, time kitorang nak dapat air minuman, bleh plak akak (or makcik) tu berseloroh tak tentu pasal. Ikut hati, nak je aku blah. Nasib baik akal ku masih waras dek kerana nak try jgk makan kat tempat tu. Last2..nothing special. Lagi best makan kat kedai member ayahku tepi pantai jeram tuh!
Nasihat aku, jaga hati pelanggan dan jangan diskriminasikan pelanggan. Anda sendiri yang rugi.
