Many tourists visit Hong Kong to see the Rubber duck. It is because the duck is not only huge compared with the ordinary duck we have seen, but also because the Rubber duck has reminded us of the enjoyable and free childhood.

Nowadays there is a huge rubber duck swimming in Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong in China, which has attracted much attention. It is said that more than 300 thousand tourists had visited Hong Kong and expected to take photos with the huge Rubber duck until May 2ond in this month. It is not only because the Rubber duck is huge compared with the ordinary duck we have seen, but also because the Rubber duck has reminded us of the enjoyable and free childhood.

The huge rubber duck is 16.5 meters high, 19.2 meters long and 16.5 meters wide. It is all yellow except its red mouth and dark eyes. When it is swimming in the Victoria Harbor, the scene is just like that the rubber duck is on a competition with the ships around her. It is so huge that it is outstanding out of all the ships and attracted tourists’ eyes because of her unique color and body. I come up with an idea. May be the rubber duck can be more beautiful and fashionable. She can wear a cap like the Donald Duck. A cheap chain or the gorgeous beads from the wholesale beads can be added to the cap and make the duck charming! Perhaps this charming appearance will attract more tourists. May be I can tell the idea to the father of the yellow duck!

The father of the huge yellow duck is Florentijn Hofman, a man who is 36 years old from Netherlands. Florentijn Hofman has begun to design the yellow rubber duck since 2001. He hopes to share the pleasure and happiness to the people all over the world through the yellow rubble duck. After he entertained this idea he bought a map and marked the places where the duck would travel and the route she would swan. It was not until 2007 the first yellow rubber duck was created. Hofman took her to visit Saint-Nazaire in France, St. Paul in Brazil, Auckland in New Zealand, Osaka in Japan, Sydney in Australian and some other cities all over the world.

The yellow rubber duck is so huge. It is not easy to handle. May be most of you besides me are curious about the aim of making the yellow rubber duck! Having researched some of the information, I get the result. The yellow rubber duck is the symbol of friendship and peace. Hofman said that to the rubber duck, there is no nationality, beyond the Frontiers, no political connotation, and no discriminations. To her, we are a family all over the world. The yellow rubber duck is the symbol of friendship and peace. This is the meaning that Hofman give to her. He hopes the duck can be a connection of different counties and deliver the pleasure and happiness to people.

I believe that most of us ever had a bath with the yellow duck when we were kids. Many tourist go to visit the yellow rubber duck from remote ways because they want to see the “toy” that remind them of their memorable childhood. The Victoria Harbor is like a huge swimming pool. The yellow rubber duck is swimming in it. It may be strange that the father of the yellow rubber duck do not like the duck at all. Even when he was a kid, he never had a bath with the duck toy. After he created the yellow rubber duck, many people presented gifts related to the duck to him. But he thinks that the appearance of the duck is ugly. He said he just liked the symbol and the meaning of the duck.

It is said that the huge yellow duck will remain in Hong Kong until June 9th. If y

People with duck allergy may or may not know about the condition until they have eaten duck meat and symptoms of duck allergy begin to manifest.

There are some people who are fond of eating duck meat. Duck meat can be turned into several delectable delicacies and there are a rising number of countries around the world that are somehow turning into consuming such meat. Admit it or not, though duck dishes are not as popular as their chicken, lamb or beef counterparts, many people prefer them because of the somehow good and appetizing aroma and the satisfying aftertaste that comes with it. Chefs and food critics also claim that duck meats are undoubtedly more meaty than chicken, and flavors tend to stick more into duck meat than into any other form of animal meat. Whatever argument you are taking regarding duck meat, you still can not change the fact that ducks meats are becoming popular, be it on exotic or regular menus.

Duck allergy

There are some setbacks, however, to eating duck meat. Because duck belongs to the family of chicken and turkey, there a number of people who have duck allergy. People with duck allergy may or may not know about the condition until they have eaten duck meat and symptoms of duck allergy begin to manifest. Because people eating duck is relatively and comparatively few in number compared to vegetarians and people consuming pork, beef, lamb and chicken, statistics show that there are only a few recorded and reported cases of duck allergy. There are other people who have duck allergy and also develop allergy to duck eggs. Just like in the case for chicken allergy, some duck allergic people do not exhibit symptoms to duck egg allergy.

Symptoms of duck allergy

Symptoms of duck allergy are somehow similar to symptoms of chicken allergy. Duck allergy attacks are characterized by asthma attacks, eczema, unusual fatigue, insomnia, depression and chronic disturbance of the gastrointestinal system. Unusual symptoms of duck allergy may also appear like bed-wetting and infections particularly in the bladder and in the ears. Migraine coming along with other symptoms may also be expected. Sinusitis can also observed in people with duck allergy especially during duck allergy attacks. Be aware that the manifestations of duck allergy attacks may occur and show up hours or even about one to days after taking in or eating duck meat.

Treating and preventing duck allergy

As usual, antihistamines are prescribed to people exhibiting apparent indications or manifestations of duck meat allergy. It is important to note, however, that antihistamines should not be taken without proper prescription as it may lead to over dosage and other serious medical conditions. Antihistamines contain substances and anti-allergic enzymes that can pose adverse and irreversible side effects to people who take inappropriate dosages. People with duck allergy, above all things, should also eliminate duck meat in their daily diet. Duck allergic people should do so immediately if the symptoms of duck allergy are already exhibiting or showing up. Doing so would certainly stop the prevalence or occurrence of such manifestations. To avoid the onset of duck allergy, it is also imperative that people with duck allergy permanently and religiously eliminate duck meat in their diet. The reason behind is very logical and practical, don’t you think? Donald Duck is so cute, and you may probably have loved him one time or another during your growing up years. But ducks around can never be always fun, especially when you want to eat them and you have duck allergy.

Building The Foundation For Wealth
By C.C. Collins, Wealth Strategist,
http://wealthscientist.com

You wouldn’t build your home on anything less than a solid foundation.
Similarly, you can’t build wealth and financial independence without first having sound foundational principles to build upon.

I have found that many people are working on wealth building strategies such as maximizing their 401K returns, aggressive stock trading, and real estate investing without such a foundation.

Most of my clients are coming from a “one step forward, two steps back” cycle of wealth building that gets them nowhere in the long run.

There are steps you can take to make sure that you are maximizing and protecting your gains at the same time. Without these steps, you are destined to experience the gain-loss cycle which, in the end, is like spinning your wheels in the mud.

Discover how your employment circumstances affect your wealth building strategy and have more of the things you want by identifying your biggest expense and managing it without having to make more money.

Most people take gains in their cash flow to mean they can spend more on things they don’t need. It is human to want to surround yourself with the things you want to match how you feel about your new income from investments or a raise at work.

But what happens here is that you lose future earning power and you rip out pieces of your wealth building foundation because you are not putting new income to work by investing in your debt.

People talk a lot about returns on investments. Think of the return on a 13% credit debt that you pay off in 5 months aggressive debt investment. It’s NOT just 13% you are saving by investing in your debt!

Once that debt is paid off you can turn the payments you were making toward a larger debt, sometimes doubling the rate at which you are able to pay off that bigger debt. Combined, the return on your investment here is massive compared to regular stock investing!

Wealth building, in the beginning, is actually started with debt reduction and strict management. A change in attitude about your debt, from “liability” to investment, is the first step in true wealth building.

Today you should sit down and find the monthly expenses that truly don’t mean as much to you as building wealth does. See how you can eliminate some of your spending to invest in your debt in order to maximize your cash flow faster, giving yourself a raise!

Take most of what you now have available per month and turn it toward the next debt – raising the regular monthly payment by as much as you can while rewarding yourself with a little thing to note your accomplishment.

Before you take on another investment, think about the wealth you can build with the money that currently goes to debt. Once you have mastered your debt, all that money can go toward investments, savings, and living expenses that far outstretch what you are able to experience now.

The only aggressive investment strategy that has absolutely zero risk is debt investment. You cannot lose and the gains are always tremendous compared to any other form of investing.

Live your retirement years free of financial stress, relaxed and enjoying life due to automatic income streams you create through the powerful investments you can afford AFTER investing in your debt.
