Emu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Emus are large flightless birds that reach up to two metres (6.5 ft) in height (1–1.3 metres (3.2–4.3 ft) at the shoulder) and weigh between 30 and 45 kilograms (66–100 pounds). Emus live in most habitats across Australia, although they are most common in areas of sclerophyll forest and savanna woodland, and least common in populated and very arid areas. Emu leather has a distinctive patterned surface, due to a raised area around the hair follicles in the skin; the leather is used in such small items as wallets and shoes, often in combination with other leathers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Emu   (2495 words)

emu farming- RIRDC: The New Rural Industries - A Hanbook for Farmers and Investors- emu farming Emu oil is said to add a certain `quality' to cosmetics and while it is claimed that it is penetrating and effective in the treatment of muscle and joint pain, research into this has only just begun. Emu meat, long term, is likely to be sold at a price similar to ostrich or venison and at present farmers are receiving around $9.00/kg for the 10 kg of major carcase muscle and $4-5.00 for the remaining 2 kg of trim produced by each bird. Emu farming is a semi-intensive livestock enterprise requiring suitable land, fencing and water for adult and growing stock, reliable power for hatching and brooding chicks, shedding for young birds, feed-mixing facilities and easy access to a wide range of feed ingredients or prepared feed. www.rirdc.gov.au /pub/handbook/emu.html   (2196 words)

[No title] These are the anti-inflammatory properties of emu oil, the effects of emu oil on wound healing and cellular regeneration and the anti-viral/anti-bacterial activity of emu oil. Also, it is often stated that emu oils from different sources and refined by differing processes differ widely in their therapeutic activity but no scientific studies have been published that confirm this. Whilst the data is consistent with this triglyceride being the major constituent of oils prepared from farm reared birds this does not appear to necessarily be the case for oils prepared from the fat of wild birds particularly those feeding on native flora. www.rirdc.gov.au /reports/NAP/99_133.doc   (2864 words)

Emu tries again to strike oil in United States Oakland Tribune - Find Articles EMU, a member of the ratite family and a cousin of the ostrich, has been a dietary staple of the Aborigines for thousands of years. Emu meat is 98 percent fat free, higher in protein than beef, lower in cholesterol than chicken, has high levels of iron and vitamin C and is endorsed by the American Heart Association. Emus were first exported to the United States in the late 1970s as breeding stock for zoos. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qn4176/is_20030820/ai_n14558296   (841 words)

Global Economic Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) The decision on the EMU line-up will be taken on the basis of the convergence reports by the EU Commission and by the European Monetary Institute (EMI) due in March of next year. In our view, an EMU delay or possible abandonment, not our central case scenario, would not be consistent with the goals of the French socialists and with the re-election goal of the German Chancellor. A failure of EMU at this late stage would result in an appreciation in the Deutschemark and a spike in peripheral interest rates, as the convergence trade was unwound and as investors attempted to seek out what they perceived as the safety of the old D-mark. www.morganstanley.com /GEFdata/digests/19970610-tue.html   (5250 words)

CCRU: Education for Mutual Understanding: The Initial Statutory Years The inclusion of EMU within the statutory curriculum carries an implicit expectation that, as part of their teaching, teachers will attempt to address issues which are relevant to community division within contemporary society in Northern Ireland. There is an expectation that the inclusion of EMU within the statutory curriculum will draw attention to the role of the school as a focal point for relationships within and between communities. The most important factor in developing EMU in a comprehensive way throughout the school is the support and commitment afforded the programme by the Principal and senior management. www.ccruni.gov.uk /research/csc/mutual.htm   (3183 words)

EURO 2003: report introduction Membership of EMU would mean that the UK would adopt the euro as its currency and UK interest rates would be set by the European Central Bank (ECB), on the basis of economic conditions in the euro area as a whole. The basic insight of the theory is that membership of EMU brings potential costs and benefits, or 'pros and cons' as Professor David Currie described them in his 1997 publication for HM Treasury. If the UK had joined EMU in 1999, it would have made the operation of EMU more difficult; in particular, the task of the ECB in setting monetary policy via a single interest rate for the euro area as a whole. www.hm-treasury.gov.uk /documents/international_issues/the_euro/assessment/report/euro_assess03_repintro.cfm   (5805 words)

CEPR Discussion Paper Abstracts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) The main issue in the early years of EMU is one of credibility. On one hand, high exposure to asymmetric shocks and low adaptability (be it in terms of stabilization or adjustment) to both symmetric and asymmetric shocks make the early years of EMU potentially problematic. Although economic divergences skewed on the high side made internal monetary misalignments politically less troublesome, the stability-oriented EMU framework fostered broadly appropriate policy behaviour in terms of both efforts to increase adaptability to shocks and of actual response to observed shocks. www.cepr.org /pubs/new-dps/dplist.asp?dpno=2832   (269 words)

CEPR Discussion Paper Abstracts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) We explore the impact of European monetary union (EMU) on the economies of the member countries. EMU has indeed contributed to greater economic integration - however, economic linkages with the rest of the world have also been growing strongly, such that the relative importance of intra-EMU trade has not dramatically increased. In terms of future risks, a severe economic downturn or financial crisis in a member country will be the proving ground for the political viability of EMU. www.cepr.org /DP5536   (216 words)

Emu Oil Institute - Emu Oil Research Summary: A comparison between oil rendered from the fat of the emu, the ostrich and the rhea reveals that the predominant fatty acid in ostrich and rhea oils in palmitic acid, and of emu oil is oleic acid. However, comedogenicity of emu oil was significantly lower than that of mineral oil, and all subjects stated a unanimous preference for emu oil. Summary: Ongoing studies on the anti-inflammatory activity of emu oil, as tested using the arthritis-induced rat model, indicate that different emu oils vary in their ability to suppress arthritic symptoms and that a chemical test for biological activity is needed rather than continuing to use the rat model. www.emu-oil.com /research.htm   (1048 words)

Round EMU Conversion Rates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) The conversion factors for the first wave of EMU entrants were determined at the end of 1998. This determination was done by formula, into which were input several variables including the £/$ exchange rate, and because of this formula it was not possible for round numbers to be chosen. For any subsequent EMU entrants not already part of version two of the Exchange Rate Mechanism (so, for any entrants other than Denmark), a conversion rate would be chosen by agreement of the Council of Ministers. www.ledr.com /guests/jdaw/papers/finmkts/emu-rates.html   (439 words)

Notes on 'EMU in the Early Years: differences and credibility' by Buti, Marco and Sapir, André, in EMU and Economic ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24) On the ECB and the Bundesbank: had EMU started with the small group that had kept their currencies pegged to the DM, the ECB would have inherited the Bundesbank’s reputation. However, EMU started with a larger number of countries, and the hope has been that increased trade linkages will lead to increased convergence. Thus, the primary task for economic policy in these early years of EMU must be to “manage economic disturbances whilst ferrying the new regime towards its steady state by reducing exposure to asymmetric shocks and ensuring price stability”. users.ox.ac.uk /~sann2300/050225-integration-economics-butisapir1.shtml   (1006 words)

CAIN: CSC: Report: Education for Mutual Understanding: The Initial Statutory Years Although the impetus for EMU had evolved through the commitment of enthusiastic teachers and voluntary bodies over a 20-year period, the transition to a statutory theme meant that all teachers were expected to play a part in implementation. When appointed there are demands on coordinators to suggest a framework for the implementation of EMU; to raise levels of awareness about EMU and Cultural Heritage within the school; and to establish a realistic plan of action over a period of years based on the needs of the school. The development of EMU during pre-statutory years was dependent to a large extent on the voluntary commitment of a large number of non-governmental agencies. cain.ulst.ac.uk /csc/reports/mutual.htm   (17922 words)
