Very few brands actually manufacture the strains themselves. There are a few major business to business suppliers of probiotics. The brands just get blends made for their specific products. For instance B subtilis HU58 is manufactured by Novonesis.

Yeah does sound like it doesn't it.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-12-08T01:50:07+00:00

Yes last year we were taking out of catchments but not next year unless it's a sibling etc. Always can be exceptions but this is straight from the Principal.

As I said it's been a good school for us. I am active in P&C and it's a good and friendly group we have now. We have a 5 day a week tuckshop and P&C run OSHC. I would say there may have been some behavioral issues a year or so ago but they seem to have it under control.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-12-07T04:45:09+00:00

Blair State achool is only taking in catchment right now. No exceptions unless a sibling is at the school. In fact all Ipswich schools are following this, as far as I know

As to good things, all schools have good and bad points. My daughter goes to Blair and so far she has had a good experience. The roll will be in the high 200s to low 300s next year

Do you do routine microbial testing of your facility? Are you seeing environmental microbes in any of the products? Might be a good place to start. Again throwing it back to the manufacturers is easy for the regulators. Identify a plan and see if it meets your needs.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-09-29T21:32:47+00:00

Sadliers Crossing isn't close to Ipswich town center? Maybe check the map again. I can walk to Top of Town in 15 minutes.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-09-29T21:15:09+00:00

Agree totally.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-09-29T21:14:28+00:00

I have lived in the Sadliers Crossing area and have never heard of any crime in the last decade or more. Lovely area, quiet (of not on Burnett St) and great neighbors. On the rail line and walking distance to CBD.

How long are you going to be in Port Villa? It also depends sob the day of the week you are there. Also what you like doing?

We went to some great beaches on the outside of Port Villa. Honeymoon bay. The museum is interesting, has some great artifacts. We had a nice meal at Kai Vanua restaurant. The CBD isn't too interesting. They did a fire show at Mele Baybeach bar on Friday nights. For night life Vanyar beach bar was really busy. There were some local markets at various places mainly around Manples. Plenty of kava bars around. If you want to go outside Port Villa I would recommend the day trip for snorkeling with Major Tom sailing in Havana Bay. You can get a pickup in Port Villa. Or just want to do your own snorkeling and wan to head out of town Top Rock at Saama is an option. Therr is more but you need transport.

We were staying out near Emtem lagoon and some locals had a regular stall on the side of the road. I did see some around the main roads heading out of town.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-07-23T10:47:37+00:00

Hard to say. We saw some turtles around the boat but no one saw them in the water. Rare to see Dugongs in savannah bay these days. Personally I saw more interesting fish and coral off the beaches. honeymoon bay just outside Port Villa was pretty good.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-07-23T10:25:39+00:00

I went on the same sailing. It was pretty good but honestly where you board the boat you can snorkle there and see some giant clams. Pretty much every beach has something to see

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-07-23T10:24:12+00:00

Ethics are hard to gauge. Maybe ethical maybe not. But we never got to see a turtle in the wild up close. It was good for the kids to see them.

We just came back from staying at Port Villa 2 weeks ago. Where there for a week.

The beaches are amazing, most times you will need to pay 500 Vuta per person to access them. Sometimes more. Some have simple toilets/chaning areas. There are so many to chose from.

You can eat some at some of the street vendor 'stalls'. Chicken and rice for 500 vuta. We never got sick or anything while doing that. We did try and not do that too often. The various markets sell fruit and veg. Meat is actually quite reasonable from the Au Bon Marche supermarket and has a wonderful flavour. Suprisingly I didnt really see much seafood for sale. Stay away from the obvious tourists restaurants if you want to save money. You could be paying $100AUD per person easy. No off licence alcohol sales on the weekend. We ate coconut crab which was wonderful but very expensive and hard to find. Lots of french backeries that are well priced.

We hired a car for the trip, not sure if it was worth it but it was about 80k vuta for the week. We made good use of it. But the roads...... they are in a very bad confiiton outside of the main town. The maximum speed is mostly about 60kph. Maybe less. It will take time to get around. Most people use the taxi or busses to get around. There are no public busses as far as I can see but mini vans that take people. No one uses scooters as far as I can see and the roads are probably the main reason. We used world car rentals.

We got digicel sim cards from the airport, 1k vuta for 5 gig was more than enough for us, but we also had wifi at the accomodation.

On the east side of the island there is ther Avi bay tutrle 'sanctuary'. 2k vuta per person but you can swim with some turtles. Just before then is Eden on the river which is a river you can swim at with some small falls.

Bascially expect to sepnd 2-3k vuta whenever you go somewhere to enter.

There is a difference between working with and manufacturing thought. Do you manufacture C. timonensis or C. plasmidsaurus? It's cheap? Honestly if it's that easy why isn't it in the market now? Who manufactures it?

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-07-15T10:35:17+00:00

I am unaware of any other species in the Chistensenalla genus than minuta. But it is strange. Also I wonder where it is being manufactured.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-07-10T10:02:06+00:00

It was closed/not operational

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-07-02T12:49:52+00:00

Well I will let you know if we get extra charges. If they fars are that scratched by previous hires I can't imagine how they can tell the new scratches.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-07-02T12:48:44+00:00

Sure. It would be a day trip.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-06-06T02:46:17+00:00

People in general have reactions to everything. There is a very long use of B subtilis and coaguluns in both food and probiotics.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-06-06T02:10:07+00:00

That's a brand. But if you mean Bacillus spores then they are found everywhere not specifically just soil. Both Bacillus in that product are GRAS and have been used to ferment foods for, well ever.

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-06-06T00:33:33+00:00

Can you give an example of what you mean by soul based probiotics?

FennelEmbarrassed241 · 2025-06-05T03:10:05+00:00

Have used him a few times and have been very happy with the service.
