TOILET BUSINESS: LID LEAVE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION? When flushing the toilet, should I let the lid down or leave the lid open? 1. Scientists have discovered that flushing a toilet bowl will cause plumes of bacteria and viruses to spread. 2. The flushing causes plumes of tiny droplets to spread through the air to every surface of the bathroom. 3. These scientists also mentioned that it does not matter if the toilet bowl lid remains up or down. 4. We are thus advised to do regularly cleaning of the bowl and disinfecting the toilet bowl to get rid of the most nastiest bacteria. +++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ ++++++ Source & Credit: Published by University of Arizona in the American Journal of Infection Control Impacts of lid closure during toilet flushing and of toilet bowl cleaning on viral contamination of surfaces in United States restrooms - American Journal of Infection Control (ajicjournal.org) Highlights • Viral aerosols from toilet flushing pose a possible route of pathogen transmission. • Toilet lid closure prior to flushing is believed to mitigate cross-contamination. • We show toilet lid closure prior to flushing does not mitigate cross-contamination. • Brushing toilet bowl without disinfectant results in contamination of surfaces. • The use of a disinfectant during bowl cleaning reduces cross-contamination of surfaces. Background Viral aerosols generated during toilet flushing represent a potential route of pathogen transmission. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of toilet lid closure prior to flushing on the generation of viral aerosols and cross-contamination of restroom fomites. Methods A surrogate for human enteric viruses (bacteriophage MS2) was added to household and public toilet bowls and flushed. The resulting viral contamination of the toilet and other restroom surfaces was then determined. Results After flushing the inoculated toilets, toilet seat bottoms averaged >107 PFU/100 cm2. Viral contamination of restroom surfaces did not depend on toilet lid position (up or down). After toilet bowls were cleaned using a bowl brush with or without a commercial product (hydrochloric acid), a >4 log10 (>99.99%) reduction in contamination of the toilet bowl water was observed versus no product. Bowl brush contamination was reduced by 1.6 log10 (97.64%) when the product was used versus no product. Conclusions These results demonstrate that closing the toilet lid prior to flushing does not mitigate the risk of contaminating bathroom surfaces and that disinfection of all restroom surfaces (ie, toilet rim, floors) may be necessary after flushing or after toilet brush used for the reduction of virus cross-contamination.

Only Sample Illustration #04 is affected by Sha Qi or Poison Arrow of the mosque spine (logo) 1. This simple illustration:- 2. Even though standing at the windows of #02, #03 may perhaps see the spine of the mosque; fortunately they are not affected by the spine (logo) of it. 2.1. Thus imagine if there are also #05 onwards etc.. looking out of the windows and downwards, one can also see the spine (half moon + star crest) of the mosque. These units are not affected by this spine. 3. In the illustration, one can see that unit #04 is exactly at the same level of the mosque spine (half moon + star crest). Thus in reality this unit #04 is considered to be affected by this spine. 4. Not deal is for the spine to be exactly facing / tangent to the living room windows - harder to cure. Given that who in the world fully block the living room windows. 5. Much easier to cure if it faces a bedroom window. For example, can install a "permanent" day curtain and draw this at the bedroom window(s). The maxim: "If can no longer be that visible, it no longer become a threat. More.. Thus even if one stands inside say #05, #06 and above unit window can see the mosque spine (half moon + star crest), these units and more are not affected by the Sha Qi (Poison arrow) of the spine - (half moon + star crest). Unit #04 Only Unit #04 is considered to be affect by the spine (logo) or tip of the mosque Related: Masjid [Mosque] Darul Ghufran @ Tampines surrounded by HDB Tampines GreenSpring under construction

Hi Master Cecil, Apologies. Pls see if the curly braces are visible in the enclosed image.

I have checked your account and have fixed the issue. I have login to your account to test it the dark mode so you should see it when you next login.

Cures is not one size fits all. Needs to take into account three main factors:- 1. Ba Zi of individuals and their birth-elements + suitable colours 2. Five Elements concept 3. The Layout plan and for which area of the house can affect the type of cure or enhancement needed.

1. In my opinion based on your sketch, plots A, B and C seems to be around some sort of a Cul-De-Sac variant of sorts. 2. For house plot A: critical for how the house is in relation to the service road. 2.1. For example, the type of fence, gate and how the house especially the front door and windows are important considerations to make or break the Feng Shui of such a house. 2. Based on the sketch, greater concern are for plots B; followed by plot C. Good news is lesser concern for your plot A.

liebherr is another good brand that makes left handed fridges, so maybe some more options for you there

Dear Master Cecil Lee as a young learner of fengshui I am rather uneducated and ignorant of the intricacies of fengshui. I would like your guidance and wisdom in these matters. do bathrooms require specific layout or usage of materials much like other rooms do, or are bathrooms an exception? glory to our country Yarawit f.

Dear Master Cecil Lee, thank you very much for this information I will keep it in mind when I move into our new house Glory to our country Yarawit F.

I have always found this website and the people in charge of this website very swift and decisive when it came to taking action. also very detailed

Frankly, we normally won't bother to reply to such post that simply provides the date and time of birth (or a screenshot of any third party chart) and expect us to review the info and answer the questions. As that usually takes time and effort to have to work out an review the dob, before we can answer any questions. Often that no longer falls under simple free advise most of the time, and usually you will need to get our full service to seek the personalised answers you are looking for. Furthermore, most answers you are asking are usually available in the full ba zi service. 1. Anyway, most of the answers for your question is also available on our free ba zi report itself:- https://online.geomancy.net/public/code/html-fs-self-free.php?pay=0&tpl=chart_true_element&username=&gender=1&day=31&month=01&year=1989&hour=8 Since our free reports aren't crippled in anyway, it means you will get the exact same results in the paid report. Just that we don't provide all the details, only those useful for users to make use of. Which means that your true element is a Strong Metal. We provide the free report so that users can really make use of our reports and tools for their own benefit. Often we also do help people troubleshoot by using the free tools. Hence, we do not cripple the reports for that reason. 2. As for the suitable profession, this is usually only provided in the full ba zi report, but you can use the suitable element to determine that Water / Fire element related career (career industry or job scope element) are likely the most suitable, so you can also refer to this free resources that is available on our website. URL: http://talk.geomancy.net 3. Anyway, the only reason I am answering this post is to answer your question is because since our free report already answers most of your question. So to ask us to clarifying what is your true element strength, means that you are probably wanting to know why our chart states that it is Strong Metal, whereas others may have determined it as weak. Often, a lot of other practitioners don't really work out the chart in full details, this means any combinations (that may result in changes in the final element) and clash/harms that takes place, and even many don't even calculate the hidden House of Life and House of Conception pillars. All of which are just as important in determining the true elements. Without considering those details, it is easy to assess the true element incorrectly. Since a weak or strong element will result in different favourable and unfavourable elements. This is why for our site, we have worked this very carefully and in detailed in order to determine your personal true element. This is all calculated even for our free report (just that no detailed info are provided):- In the case of the date of birth dob provided, this ba zi chart is a Strong Metal:-. I have extracted this small section from our full ba zi report, so that you can see why:- Male - 31 Jan 1989 at 1.00 p.m. to 2.59 p.m. Lunar Calendar: 1988, 12th month, 24 day, Total Favourable Elements (that make you strong) Metal (27.9%) + Earth (58.1%) + Water (4.7%) 90.7% > Total Unfavourable Elements (that make you weak) Fire (0.0%) + Wood (9.3%) + Water (4.7%) 14.0% = Therefore, you are a Strong Metal NOTE: Water element eventually cancel itself out as Water element is a double-edged element in the equation. Water element helps to destroy the fire which weakens you (so it helps make it less total unfavourable less unfavourable), but it also exhaust your metal (which weakens your metal and makes your favourable element weaker). But it is necessary to include as each of the five elements each have a role to play. As you can see, the total elements that make you a strong is 90.7% which is greater than the total elements that make you weak which is 14.0%. Hence, you are a Strong Metal. The full details of the five element percentage chart is all available in our full ba zi report.

And that will result in interpreting the chart inaccurately. Hence, I am replying to this post just to clarify it and I felt it is important for a lot of users to realise this. Without getting this accurately done, you can often get your true element wrong, which then affects the overall ba zi assessment and even can affect the ability to troubleshoot a situation properly. As a person's luck is influenced by 3 forms of luck:- 1) Heaven Luck - Luck that you are born with and supposed to have. 2) Earth Luck - Luck from your Home/Office and surrounding environments. 3) Human Luck - Luck from your relationship with others and own hard work. Hence, each luck affects 33.3% of your overall luck. Sometimes some issues can arise from the Heaven Luck (Ba Zi), sometimes it can come from the Feng Shui of your Home/Office. Without accurately assessing the ba zi chart, it can be hard to determine if issues maybe coming from the ba zi given luck or from your house/office feng shui. This is why it is important to get the ba zi true element correctly, as that helps to properly define what you need to balance and a lot of things. This is why in our free ba zi we, provided your true element, the favourable/unfavourable elements and even the last 10-years of your luck forecast for you to be able to relate to your own situation in order to determine whether what maybe the issue etc. So our ba zi reports is designed to be fully usable and for troubleshooting purpose.
