TAIYUAN Marouane Fellaini World Cup Jersey , July 31 (Xinhua) -- A traditional salt production process has returned to Yuncheng Salt Lake, known as "China's Dead Sea," some 30 years after it was abandoned.


Salt production in Yuncheng in north China's Shanxi Province was halted in the 1980s as the city turned to glauber's salt and magnesium sulphate production, which was more profitable.


Salt production resumed in June due to ecological concerns and to preserve an ancient method of salt production, which was listed as an intangible cultural heritage by Shanxi Province in 2007.


"Resuming the process can help to balance the composition of the lake water," said Xu Tao Luis Pedro Cavanda World Cup Jersey , an engineer with the salt producer, Nanfeng Chemical Industrial Corporation in Yuncheng.


According to Xu, years of extracting glauber's salt and magnesium sulphate have left too much chloride in the lake.


"Salt production will definitely help consume the excess chloride," he said.


Salt produced in Yuncheng is called "Lu salt" after "Lucun Village," the ancient name for the region. The salt is said to have high medicinal value.


The famous inland salt lake is located in south Shanxi. Visitors can float on its surface due to its high salinity, earning it the name "China's Dead Sea."


People having been extracting salt crystals from the lake for over 4 Laurent Depoitre World Cup Jersey ,000 years, said Zheng Mianping, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering who studies salt lakes.


More than 1,300 years ago, residents developed the traditional salt production technique, which uses specially excavated beds to dry the brine Laurent Ciman World Cup Jersey , said Zheng.

TORONTO, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Ebola conundrum continues as country after country speeds towards the "Holy Grail" for an effective vaccine. The 800 vials of Canadian experimental vaccine are expected to reach the World Health Organization headquarters in Switzerland on Wednesday.


The WHO declared in August that "West Africa is experiencing the largest, most severe, most complex outbreak of Ebola virus disease in history." That led to the WHO convening to "consider and assess the ethical implications for clinical decision-making of use of unregistered interventions that have shown promising results in the laboratory and in animal models but that have not yet been evaluated for safety and efficacy in humans."


This is the crux in all recent reports on the evolution and development of the vaccine either from Canada, the UK or the USA. The world hastens to establish Kevin De Bruyne World Cup Jersey , design, and implement trial after trail of the so far elusive vaccine. The WHO predicts a staggering 10,000 cases per week by December, a number so high as to instill a fever into mankind's previously complacent attitude to this current Ebola outbreak.


Health officials with the Public Health Organization in Canada are dispensing "soundbites of hope" to be the first in establishing the vaccine.


Dr. Lindsay Elmgren, Director of Center for Biologics Evaluation, Health Canada and Head of the WHO Collaborating Center for Standardization and Evaluation of Biologics Jordan Lukaku World Cup Jersey , affirmed that " the Ebola disease is very serious and cases will very likely reach the numbers that WHO predicts.


"There are currently no licensed or approved Ebola vaccines. There are 2 candidate vaccines that are currently undergoing Phase 1 clinical trials in the U.S., Britain, and Germany. All further use of these vaccines will depend on the results of these trials. One of these possible vaccines was developed by scientists working for the Public Health Agency of Canada," Elmgren told Xinhua in an interview.


Elmgren clarified that the proverbial race was to gain momentum against the viral contamination. "Experts around the world are working together in an unprecedented manner to deal with the Ebola crisis. The race to get a vaccine is against the disease, not the experts working together."


Canada has pledged 65 million Canadian dollars thus far to the Ebola campaign as run by the WHO, and the need to establish groundbreaking protocols and procedure goes beyond the development of the vaccine. In the past few days Jean-Francois Gillet World Cup Jersey , Canada has approved the implementation of Ebola screening and frontline protection in five hospitals across the country. Yet, Hedy Fry, a Canadian politician and physician, stated in regards to fighting Ebola, "Canada is not doing enough."


The question begs itself, what precisely is enough? Once again Jason Denayer World Cup Jersey , Dr. Elmgren elaborates on the prototype vaccine, "This experimental vaccine was developed in Canada. A vaccine cannot be licensed anywhere until clinical trials have been completed that show the product is safe and effective."


This may be the beginning of establishing. The Public Health Agency of Canada has only developed one Ebola vaccine, which is a VSV-EBOV recombinant. The marketing rights for this experimental vaccine have been sold to NewLink, Iowa-based U.S. company.


In Europe, Dr. Stefan Becker has been waiting on the Canadian vaccine for several months. Becker is a professor at the Institute for Virology at Philipps University of Marburg, Germany. His research focuses on filoviridae that comprise Marburg and Ebola viruses. These related viruses cause hemorrhagic fever and bats are carriers of filoviruses that potentially spread the virus to humans in endemic regions of Central Africa.


Ebola Jan Vertonghen World Cup Jersey , a filovirus, is categorized as a bio-safety level 4 virus and there are no vaccines and specific therapeutics available. This specific Ebola information was recently introduced to the global public by scientists like the Becker Group.


Responding to a Xinhua request for interview, Dr. Becker wrote, "unfortunately I am not able to answer your questions because I am drowning in requests by national media which I hardly can satisfy. "


The WHO acknowledged that vaccine development is often lengthy and costly and as Dr. Elmgren said, "Yes, this is normally up to a 10 y.
