Before we can prevent kidney stones, we need to know what causes them to form in the first place.
While we have discussed Kidney Stones in the past, it’s time to hit another urinary tract stone that tends to affect men. This is the bladder stone.
Here’s how we can help you affordably meet your health care plans and objectives.
Women’s wellness is very important to us, and we commonly see these handful of urological conditions and symptoms come through our clinic.
Drinking alcohol can have some serious side effect to the overall urological system. In this video, Van breaks down the concerns that arise the more we drink.
There is no cure for BPH, however there are ways of preventing Prostate Cancer, and one of those ways is to eat the right foods. In this video, Van lists the top five.
It's true, there are a handful of foods your bladder can benefit from. This list spans from berries, to burgers, and many eats in between. So come along and learn how to make the most of bladder health.
Urinary Retention, embarrassing, painful, and avoidable. With simple procedures like the Urolift, we can put an end to Urinary Retention before it even begins.
When there is cause for concern, we dig a bit deeper for the answer. In today's video, Van breaks down the process of a prostate biopsy. From why we do it, to the effects it has on your health plan.
In this video, we are digging into the symptoms, causes, and concerns associated with the condition of Flank Pains.
While never comfortable to talk about, this condition can put a damper not only on your day, but also your quality of life. The upside is, with some corrective actions, we can help you easily curb these debilitating symptoms.
Face it men, we don’t like to talk to the doctor about certain issues. However, some are too large to ignore. If strictures are causing quality of life issues, come on in today. There are solutions that will get you out of pain and back into the game.
While taking care of yourself is a good thing, we should never aspire to play doctor. Here are some of the risks.
We are extremely proud to make this announcement, that came from Urolift themselves as of yesterday. Due to our extensive training and experience with the Urolift procedure they have designated us as the FIRST Center of Excellence in the state of Alaska. In honor of this high accolade, we are hosting Urolift here at our office with a public celebration. So come on in this July 24th at 6:00PM or RSVP
It may come as a surprise, that your urologist would be so opposed to the bad habit of smoking. However, as we have come to find, smoking is directly related to multiple urological concerns, and a handful of cancers. So take this seriously, and get the right help.
For some of us, our bodies may be better at making stone walls, than us. However we can solve this problem and give you long term solutions.
Few problems or symptoms of BPH are worse than urinary retention. If you let you prostate go unchecked long enough, it will act like a dam and hold everything back. So don’t hold it back!

The emergence of green building assessment methods across the region is revealing. UK’s BREEAM was arguably the oldest tool, since it was launched in 1990, following up will be LEED which was launched by US Green Building Council in 2000, following up by Australia’s Greenstar and Canada’s Green globe in 2002. The Asia Pacific region’s green assessment tool is not far behind, HongKong’s BEAM started in 1996, Japan’s CASBEE and Singapore’s BCA GreenMark started off in 2005, and Malaysia’s very own Green Building Index in 2009. And along the past few years, we also see the wave is taken up by Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Philippines. It’s interesting to note that different countries have variations in evaluation scheme and implementation approach due to the difference in socio-economic and governance. Along this, various high performing buildings are built with the intention of showcasing the possibility of energy efficient green buildings and outreach awareness effort.
Previously I wrote on Singapore’s Zero Energy Building at it’s BCA campus – the first zero carbon operation retrofitted building, ST Diamond Building – possibly one of the lowest energy consumption office in Asia Pacific region, Bali Green School – a very biophilic design approach school and will be visiting Cooltek house in a few weeks time, a very humble low density energy efficient home in Malacca (which I will cover a post after my visit), and hoping to visit HongKong’s Zero Carbon Building soon enough as well. But recently I recalled back to IDEA House, based in Denai Alam, which I recalled back as one of my precedent study during university. It is just 15 minutes drive away from my home.
The Actual Site
Unfortunately, upon reaching, I got to know that the premise is off limit to the public and an only organized study group can visit the prototype. The shot above was taken from outside of the entrance gate, apparently that the site is below a high tension cable. I was hoping to have a my own HD pictures to document down the building as well, though as a residential design the principles are quite relatively simple as it does not involve much mechanical and electrical components. For anyone who is interested in a group tour, you can email zuraidy.amir.halim(at)simedarby.com. I have yet to arrange a group to visit that area, do tag me along if you are going there!
Intention of this Post
The IDEA House book was actually the prime objective of the intended visit. While i know that there are some information on the house green features on the net as well as being featured in Futurearc Magazine (see PDF below) and some other write up sources, there are some interesting info graphics from the book that will assist your understanding of the building process and design better. But i would still insist that only by going to the actual site, one might able to spot the flaw amid the message of being a zero carbon residential building prototype (which i elaborate my opinions at the end of this piece). I actually prefer writing up this entry with some personal picture references taken from the site.
So whose IDEA?
IDEA House is the brainchild of Sime Darby Property. The brief of the design was to build a residential prototype that responds to the parameters of the local environment, from the aspect of social, economic, and environment. Conceived to be a test bed for new ideas, the house, that also carries Green Mark Platinum and GBI Gold certification would showcase the best management and design practices for what it seems to be the sustainable architecture for residential dwellings in the tropics. Jason Pomeroy, Singapore based director for Broadway Malyan, was approached to realize the idea house along with a collaboration with the following design teams and some familiar supply chains that have been at the forefront of branding ‘green’.
1) Multi disciplinary collaboration and BIM application
It is irrefutably true that information processing matters when it comes to design and build, which is possibly tangible in monetary value as well. From the book, Jason presses on the significance of the team to adopt transparency and frankness to be able to be open-minded and striving to reach consensus to facilitate the interdisciplinary team working and allow the individual’s expertise to be tapped at the most critical junctures of the project.
Interdisciplinarity was not a matter of ensuring that design professionals can work collectively together. Social change, a global market and pressures on the natural environment are some of the forces creating questions of ever greater complexity (that) demand a breed of designer able to bring clarity to such complexity and to find solutions that respect cultural and technical interdependencies. (Kirby, 2011)
But saying such, IDEA House is relatively a simple project to go around with such statement. However, what is proven to be helpful is the application of BIM Building Information Modelling in this project. BIM has been quite a norm in Singapore, unfortunately not fully utilize in Malaysia yet as the industry has not accepted it as a whole. BIM Models manage not just graphics, but also integrated information from design analysis, simulation studies, facilities management and a lot more. In this case, the design team uses REVIT modeling for documentation, submission, ESD Environmental Sensitive Design analysis and rendering. (read more about BIM HERE). By having such coordination, the work program is cut by half in comparison with the typical residential model, as illustrated below.
2) Building Form – Learning from the Kampung House
While the prototype looks forward for the 21st century residential identity, the design team looks back to the dwelling that has withstood the test of time, the Malay traditional house. If you ask me, it is definitely the prime example of socio-environmental responsive, proving to be a perfect example of a dwelling that reflects the social and spatial flexibility for the end users. The light thermal capacity structure also exhibits a minimal built up structure, enabling the dwelling to be relocated from time to time, it is probably the ‘greenest’ holistic tropic residential dwelling in my opinion (wrote more HERE)
The design team takes in the principle of tropical sustainable design, albeit the building form of idea house has little similarity to it, the building is lifted on stilts to maximize air flow, and deep overhang is provided, in this case idea house utilize the space to be corridors. Cross ventilation is also expressed generously, having a full floor to floor opening that represents the full door openings a usual Malay traditional house has.
3) Natural Ventilation
The ventilation strategy for a low density land property is quite straight forward. Having the advantage of open space surrounding the house, the open plan nature of the house proves to be useful. Having huge sliding doors for the rooms on the first floor and foldable doors in ground floor, this does not only encourage cross ventilation, but also provides important biophilic benefit such that occupants are able to have a direct view out to nature.
Orientating the living spaces in a south westerly direction also allows the harnessing of the prevailing southwest wind that takes place 80 percent of the year. This depends on the micro climate condition of the site, which can be obtained from a nearby local weather station or self measurements primary data. The design team also ran a CFD Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis to confirm that the curvilinear profile reduced wind eddy with no obstructions. The internal void space above the dining area and higher ceiling volume also able to create venturi and stack effect enhanced ventilation if the side openings are closed. The wind velocity of 1m/s within the building is more than the 0.6m/s requirement by GreenMark.
4) Natural Daylight
It is no surprise to see such low density dwelling able to have sufficient daylight, with the width of the floor space just less than 10 meters wide and generous opening for daylight on both ends, the average daylight factor of the habitable rooms on the ground floor was 4.16%, with the 1st floor averaging 2.90%.
However one question i ponder upon is the simulation result above that shows more than 150lux lit, i am just curious if the space was over lit (and it is not indicated in the simulation), not too sure if one is possible to watch TV screen comfortably with the surrounding brightness possibly over lit. Also, though i acknowledged that the overhang is as deep as 2 meters, i am not certain if there are any measures for glare prevention as the main openings are towards north east and south west, where during the solstice season in June and December. Thus, i suspect that glare can be penetrated through into the living space.
5) Materials and Resources
The focus of the prototype has much attention given to the materials used to ensure a low carbon embodied energy. An aluminium standing seam cladding solution that was fastened onto galvanized steel fixing rails with double layered insulation was selected for its combined benefits of lightweight construction and low thermal mass, plus its good recycling attributes. 70% of the aluminium sheet is sourced from recycled sources. Timber flooring is also sourced from accredited FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) suppliers. FSC disapprove the conversion of natural forests and the usage of highly hazardous pesticides and the cultivation of GMOs (genetically modified trees).
The subsoil structure system displays a good example of reducing unnecessary materials and yet reusing plastic to be the drainage cell. Positioned under the grass surface, the system distributes loads from above to the base course below, minimizing damage to the grass roots. The substitution of grass for the driveway will allow rainwater to penetrate through it and be recollected as usable rainwater. Timber frame was used for windows, however reinforced by aluminium (which can carry as high as 30% of post consumer recycled materials). Drywall internal partitions is used that encourages lightweight, low thermal mass solution that could be erected quickly on site.
6) Modularisation and Prefabrication
The whole design idea of the IDEA house has the lego concept in mind as well. The IDEA house employs modern methods of prefabrication and modularisation in order to reduce the reliance on specialist labour and wet trades, and provides opportunities to employ individuals with a lower skills base. Standardized units on modules of 300mm, 600mm, 900mm, and 1200mm were employed throughout, thus minimising waste and error.
The whole idea of IBS Industrialized Building Systems enables a speedier construction process, thus saving time which translates into financial savings, it’s pretty much like a plug and play lego game.
Off site prefabrication of the building components meant that a construction programme of only 12 weeks was realised – an improvement of 150% over a conventional Malaysian’ house’s programme of 30 weeeks.
A modular light weight floor cassette system was developed from the combination of fibre-cement boards with a light gauge steel framing. Small bolted fixings were incorporated into the floor cassettes for fastening on to the main steel frame to finally make up the final building structural body.Another notable benefit of modular structures, is that the IDEA house is allowed to be demounted in the future in order to preserve the terrain for future development.
7) Landscape – Green Plot Ratio
Landscape is an essence of a biophilic home in many ways. It draws occupants closer to nature and provides many intangible and unsaid benefits. However, what is quantifiable is the relation of green spaces and urban heat island effect. The illustration below shows the relation of GNPR Green Plot Ratio and the effect of open space temperature.
Having more green area or green density means lesser hardscape, which absorbs heat and increases the surrounding temperature by conduction means. GNPR Green Plot Ratio is the method to quantify planning metrics in biological terms.A green plot ratio assessment was undertaken to ensure that the ecological measure of greenery on the site was not only maintained but enhance by a factor of 2 by new planting to counteract the adverse climatic effects, reduce ambient temperatures and offer a greater level of biodiversity and visual amenity. Access to the herbs and plants was made internally from the wet kitchen.
Above is a tabulation of the GNPR for a typical dwelling, in comparison with IDEA House. The GNPR adapts the Leaf Area Index, a biological parameter which is used to monitor the ecological health of natural ecosystems and to mathematically model and predict metabolic processes. You can search details of the Leaf Area Index at NParks flora fauna directory (under the foliar details). Turf has the lowest GNPR, as the leaf area of a blade of grass is less than that of the other categories. Shrubs and turfs score more.
Comment- But GNPR does not reflect on the holistic approach of what landscape really needs to offer.
However, my opinion on a perfect landscape is one that enables occupants to interact with it. Often, what is being practiced in the industry is the visual architecture appealing of the landscape massing and maintenance factor, rather than going into details on how landscape planning can stimulate occupants experience.
I mean by the possibility of fragrance of certain flowers, the seasonal effects such as change in leaf color, falling leaves, and also inducing wildlife habitat, such as certain trees can only attract certain biodiversity or birds to set up their nest etc.
Still the best landscape is natural landscape that was preserved since from the beginning, in which many developments have failed the moment they will need to excavate deep foundations, unlike the kampung houses, built with minimal excavation and labor works
8) Water Efficiency
Rainwater is targeted as the primary source to serve all domestic purposes except for the kitchen. With an average annual rainfall of 190mm and an annual precipitation of 2500mm, it was estimated that the idea house could harvest an average of 2565 litres of rainwater per day which, when combined with grey water harvesting, was enough water to cater for 98% of the occupants household needs.
The rainwater was captured and channeled via down pipes into a microbiological filtration system that removed pathogens, harmful impurities, reduced chlorine, and turbidity. It was then stored and used for shower, basin, water closet, landscape irrigation, and the swimming pool. Grey water harvesting is the secondary source and involved the collection of waste water from the bathroom showers and hand basins. With an average of 5 persons staying in the house, the quantum of water harvested could reach up to 1250 liters of gray water per day. The harvest from basins and showers means 50% of the water can be passed through a filtration system and stored for usage.
All water fittings were WELS (Water Efficient Labelling and Standards) certified, to ensure a level of water efficiency, thus helping households to save water. The fittings installed included aerated showerheads which push air through the water supply in order to create mist as opposed to larger water droplets; low flow basin taps and double flush water closets are also used. Based on an average water consumption of approximately 250 litres of water consumed per person per day, it was estimated that such a methodology could reduce water consumption by up to 54% compared to conventional fittings.
9) Energy Efficiency
As a low density residential dwelling, the approach of energy efficiency is relatively simple compared to office building which needs mechanical and electrical engineering attention. Low energy lighting system is used where LED (Light Emitting Diode) and CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) were used which could be controlled either by manual switch activation. This reduced energy usage for lighting by 63% compared to conventional incandescent lights. However, the major energy consuming domestic electrical appliances of a household are refrigerant and kitchen appliances, and this is addressed by selecting kitchen appliances that comply with european legislation with minimum white goods rating of grade A.
While besides harvesting natural ventilation and daylight and energy efficient lighting systems, the ultimate aim for energy efficiency is to improve the thermal performance of the building envelope. This will decrease the need for dependency on mechanical cooling if the building external heat gain is lesser. The roof is a part of the building that receives the greatest amount of sun exposure. Despite the metal roof cladding having a higher conductance and lower insulation value, the use of high density double layer insulation with an air cavity and reflective foil backing reduced downward heat flow into the dwelling.
Large areas of glazing will also contribute to high external heat gain. 8mm double glazing with a low-E coating was specified instead of 8mm single glazing. This specification provided a noticeable improvement over its single glazed counterpart, with a U-value of 1.9W/m2k versus 5.6W/m2k respectively. It was stated that this improved internal thermal comfort by 20%. Overall, the building OTTV Overall Thermal Transfer Value 31.12W/m2 as opposed to conventional bungalows with more than 41.70W/m2.
10) Renewable Energy
A 15.3kWp of polycrystalline silicon material was used to harness the solar energy. With an estimated annual energy consumption of 16,271kWh/year, the 90 panel photovoltaic array was estimated to provide enough energy to sustain all of the household needs. This meant that the annual energy consumption of the idea house was only being off-set by the energy generation, but also projected to produce an excess of 4.33% which could be fed back into the national grid.
The Flaws of the Great Idea
I do love, and appreciate prototypes as such around. But one question is if Sime Darby is really going to learn from this design and put it as an example for their town ship development? Or will it be just another CSR showcase of how Malaysia’s leading developer is doing the great almighty green thing. I personally break down on my reasoning here:
- Idea house is just an Idea house
What i mean is, overall, it ends up to be an exhibition house, it is not openly available to the public but just corporate to visit. It is not a prototype that is being tested, this doubts whether the prototype really works for a malaysian end users in the end. As much as there are simulation studies and good publication written up, there are no post occupancy evaluation able to be done simply to the reason no one is staying there! The true test bed is one that should be critically analyzed of it’s effectiveness by housing real occupants if we want to declare the ultimate 21st century green home.
- Sustainable is High Density
I am a person into high density, and mixed land use planning. The idea of a sustainable home is more than the dwelling itself, but what connects around it, the largest energy consumption of a household is not the electricity footprint, but fossil fuel for their automobiles that accounts almost TWO THIRDS of their total carbon footprint. As we see more and more developers are going to the direction of mixed development in the land scarce KL, it will be interesting to see one that is well thought in all aspects, from centralized district cooling, integrated security system, water management, shared energy interface, and so many other exciting critical points.
It is not sustainable to see such hundreds of such dwelling spread across a township, despite how carbon neutral it is, but the cost of carbon footprint via vehicle travelling distance will be a counter effect. What matters in a sustainable home planning is to consider the walk score of the home as well.
A good idea will turn to be an annoying one, despite how good your building design is and how much attention is given to the green tech, if you do not design a building that advocates its occupants to live up the green way, or you do not understand the end user living habits, it may ultimately fail your goods intention. What i realize in many project is that despite how much ‘hardware’ you design for a high performance building, it all depends on the end user as a ‘software’ to decide whether the building is green. Like i always agree, the greenest light bulb is the one that you switch off when unnecessary. We all need to design green buildings that speaks a language, which advocates to the users to live up the green living.
Smart Buildings + Stupid Occupants = Silly Buildings
Stupid Buildings + Smart Occupants = Smart Buildings
So how do we move on from here? There are a lot of truly sustainable house since decades ago, just look around your neighborhood and you may find one 😉

In this study, benefiting from the low wettability of graphite, various amounts were added to low cement alumina castables to investigate the resistance of refractories to slag corrosion. For this purpose, typically flake graphite was coated with alümina by a sol-gel method and then added to a mixture of the refractory in various amounts. After the physicomechanical investigation, steel ladle slag with a basicity ratio of 2.29 was charged into the crucibles which were prepared according to DIN 51069 standard. After the heat treatment, samples were cut vertically for investigation. For macroscopic analysis, images taken from the slag-refractory surfaces were digitized and subjected to image analyses to investigate the penetration of the slag. Microscopic analyses were carried out with SEM-EDS to determine the elemental dispersion at the refractory-slag interaction zone. Experimental results indicate that the alumina coated graphite addition give improved slag corrosion resistance of alumina castables.


Major Types of Land Utilization in India are discussed below :
As in all other countries, land in India is put to various uses. The utilization of land depends upon physical factors like topography, soil and climate as well as upon human factors such as the density of population, duration of occupation of the area, land tenure and technical levels of the people.
There are spatial and temporal differences in land utilization due to the continued interplay of physical and human factors. India has total geographical area of about 328.73 million hectors but statistics pertaining to land utilization were available for about 306.05 million hectares in 1999-2000. Table 21.1 shows the trend in land utilization for about half a century between 1950-51 to 1999-2000.
1. Net sown area:
Cropped area in the year under consideration is called net sown area. This area has a special significance in an agricultural country like India because agricultural production largely depends upon this type of land.
There is an urgent need to increase the net area sown for meeting the food and other requirements of rapidly increasing population in India; although there is not much scope for increasing area under this category due to natural limitations such as topography, soils, climate, etc.
However it is heartening to note that net area sown has increased from 118.7 million hectares in 1950-51 to 142.6 million hectares in 1998-99. Thus there had been an increase of about 20 per cent in net sown area in about half a century from 1950-51 to 1998-99.
The percentage of net area to total reporting area also increased from 42 in 1950-51 to 46 in 1999-2000 (Fig. 21.1). However, the net sown area declined slightly to 141.2 million hectares in 1999-2000. This is not a healthy trend and must be checked at all costs Net sown area accounts for about 46 per cent of the total reporting area of India against the world average of about 32 per cent.
This is much higher than 40 per cent in the USA 25 per cent in Russia 16 per cent in Brazil and only 6 per cent in Canada. But the per capita cultivated land has gone down drastically from 0.53 hectares in 1951 to 0.14 hectares in 1999-2000. This is a serious trend and can be checked only by population control.
Madhya Pradesh has the largest net sown area of 19.89 million hectares which is about 13.89 per cent of the total reporting net sown area of India. This is followed by Maharashtra (17 69 million hectares), Uttar Pradesh (17.58 million hectares), Rajasthan (15.51 million hectares), Andhra Pradesh (10.66 million hectares) and Karnataka (10.26 million hectares).
It may be noted that agricultural prosperity does not depend as much as on the total net sown area as it does on the percentage of net sown area to the total reporting area. There are large variations in the proportion of net sown area to total reporting area from one state to another Punjab and Haryana had some of the highest proportions of 84.2 and 80.7 per cent respectively while Arunachal Pradesh had 3 per cent only in 1999-2000.
Large parts of the Satluj, Ganga plains, Gujarat plains, Kathiawar plateau Maharashtra plateau and West Bengal basin have high proportion of cultivated area. This is largely due to gentle slope of the land, fertile alluvial and black soil, favourable climate, excellent irrigation facilities and high density of population. In contrast, mountainous and hilly areas in the Himalayan region and some of the drier tracts are not much suited to farming because of rugged topography, unfavourable climate and infertile soils.
2. Area sown more than once:
As the name indicates, this area is used to grow more than one crop in a year. This accounts for over 34 3 per cent of the net sown area and 16.6 per cent of the total reporting area of the country. This type of area comprises of land with rich fertile soils and regular water supply. It is clear that the percentage of area sown more than once is rather low in India as a whole.
This is attenuated to infertile soils deficiency of moisture and insufficient use of manures and fertilizers. This type of land is of special significance. Since almost all the arable land has already been brought under plough, the only course left to increase the agricultural production is to increase the intensity of cropping which can be done by increasing the area sown more than once.
Large tracts of the Indo-Ganga plain in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and in coastal regions have large percentage of area sown more than once.
Forest area has increased considerably from 40.45 million hectares in 1950-51 to 69.0 million hectares in 1999-2000 recording a 70 per cent increase in a span of half a century. However, 22.23 per cent of forest land to the total reporting area is not sufficient for a tropical country like India where about 33 per cent of the total land should be under forests.
This will require massive tree plantations and vigorous restrictions on the reckless felling of trees. According to the expert committee recommendations, much of the area reclaimed from the forest for agriculture should be retired from cultivation and brought back under forests to save the land from the adverse effects of deforestation.
4. Land not available for cultivation:
This class consists of two types of land viz. (i) land put to non agricultural uses and (ii) barren and unculturable waste. The area put to non-agricultural uses includes land occupied by villages, towns, roads, railways or under water i.e. rivers, lakes, canals, tanks, ponds, etc.
The barren land covers all barren and uncultivated lands in mountains and hill slopes, deserts and rocky areas. These areas cannot be brought under plough except at high input cost with possible low returns. The amount of this land has been variable right from 1950-51 to 1999-2000, the data for which are available.
Land not available for cultivation accounted for 13.8 per cent of the total reported area in 1999-2000. The largest amount of land in this category is in Andhra Pradesh followed by Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
5. Permanent pastures and other grazing lands:
A total area of 11 million hectares is devoted to permanent pastures and other grazing lands. This amounts to about 4 per cent of the total reporting area of the country. Grazing takes place mostly in forests and other uncultivated land wherever pasturage is available.
The area presently under pastures and other grazing lands is not sufficient keeping in view the large population of livestock in the country. About one-third of the reporting area in Himachal Pradesh is under pastures. The proportion varies from 4 to 10 per cent in Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Orissa. It is less than 4 per cent in the remaining parts of the country.
6. Land under miscellaneous tree crops and groves:
Land under miscellaneous tree crops and groves include all cultivable land which is not included under net area sown, but is put to some agricultural use. Land under casuarina trees, thatching grass, bamboo, bushes, other groves for fuel, etc. which are not included under orchard are classed under this category.
Land under this category declined sharply from 19.8 million hectares in 1950-51 to only 4.46 million hectares in 1960-61 and further to 4.29 million hectares in 1970-71. Thus the percentage of this land fell from 6.97 per cent in 1950-51 to a mere 1.49 per cent in 1960-61 and further to 1.41 per cent in 1970-71.
After that juncture the area under miscellaneous tree crops and groves has shown varying trends and stood at 3.62 million hectares or 1.2 per cent of the total reporting area in 1999-2000. Orissa has the largest area of 7.74 lakh hectares in this category followed by Uttar Pradesh (5.47 lakh hectares), Bihar (3.44 hectares), Karnataka (3-05 lakh hectares), Andhra Pradesh (2.43 lakh hectares), Assam (2.36 lakh hectares) and Tamil Nadu (2.43 lakh hectares).
7. Culturable waste:
The “wasteland survey and reclamation committee” defines “culturable waste” as the land available for cultivation but not used for cultivation for one reason or the other. This land was used in the past but has been abandoned for some reason. It is not being used at present due to such constraints as lack of water, salinity or alkalinity of soil, soil erosion, water-logging, an unfavourable physiographic position, or human neglect.
Reh, bhur, usar, and khola tracts of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana as well as in several other parts of the country were used for agriculture in the past but had to be abandoned due to some deficiencies in the soil resulting from faulty agricultural practices. The land under this category has declined considerably from about 22-9 million hectare in 1950-51 to 13.8 million hectare in 1999-2000.
This decline in the wasteland is due to some land reclamation schemes launched in India after Independence. About one-sixth of the total reporting area in Goa is termed as culturable waste. Rajasthan has 4.9 lakh hectare of cultivable waste land which is about 36.1 per cent of the total waste land of India.
The other states with considerable culturable waste land are Gujarat (13.6%), Madhya Pradesh (10.2%), Uttar Pradesh (6.93%) and Maharashtra (6.83%). The cultivable waste, if brought under cultivation can be an important factor in augmenting the country’s agricultural production.
However, in the interest of long term conservation and maintenance of ecobalance, this land should be put under afforestation and not under crop farming. National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), Hyderabad is making valuable contribution in mapping the wastelands in India through satellite imageries.
8. Fallow lands:
This category includes all that land which was used for cultivation but is temporarily out of cultivation. Fallow land is of two type’s viz., current fallow and fallow other than current fallow. Fallow of one year is called ‘current fallow’ while that of 2 to 5 years is classified as ‘fallow other than current fallow’. Fallow land is left uncultivated from 1 to 5 years to help soil recoup its fertility in the natural way depending upon the nature of soil and the nature of fanning.
There have been Varying trends in the extent of current fallow but it has recorded an increase from 10.68 million hectares in 1950-51 to 14.79 million hectares in 1999-2000. But there had been a sharp decline in fallow lands other than current fallows from 17.4 million hectare in 1950-51 to 11.18 million hectare in 1960 61.
Since then the trend has been variable and it was 10.1 million hectare in 1999-2000. The largest area of over 2.5 million hectare of ‘fallow land other than current fallow’ is in Rajasthan followed by 1.4 million hectares in Andhra Pradesh and over one million hectares in Maharashtra. The distribution of the current fallow on the other hand presents a slightly different picture.
Andhra Pradesh with about 2.8 million hectares has the largest area as current fallow. This is followed by over 2.6 million hectares in Rajasthan, 1.8 million hectares in Bihar, 1.4 million hectares in Karnataka, 1.08 million hectares in Tamil Nadu and over one million hectares in Uttar Pradesh.
There is need to reduce the extent and frequency of fallow land in order to increase agricultural production. This can be done by proper dose of fertilizers, providing irrigation facilities, crop rotation and combination and several other similar farm techniques.

Simon, one of two alternating narrators, obsessively pursues a peculiar underground life: in the rambling, overgrown grounds of his sister Audrey's estate, he has for years been digging a secret system of tunnels to provide him with a haven of darkness, seclusion, and spying. The second narrator is Josh, of gypsy background. A naif, he has unpolished artistic talent. While working at a game booth at a fair he meets up with Mortimer - older, self-assured, and demanding. When Josh takes a job as a gardener at Audrey's home, Mortimer tries to consolidate his bond with Josh. The two women of the household, Audrey and her distant relative and housekeeper Marion, find Josh's strength and seeming innocence a potent spell. Josh finds himself responding to one of the women, escalating unacknowledged tensions between them. Meanwhile, Simon is worried that Josh will find his underground labyrinth and takes steps to prevent this exposure. Adding the strangely disturbing Mortimer to the mix leads to an explosive chemistry between the characters that will rip apart and rearrange all their lives.

OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso (AP) – Only one in seven COVID-19 infection in Africa is detected, which means the continent’s estimated level of infection could be 59 million people, according to a new study by the Organization world health.
“With limited testing, we are still flying blind in far too many communities in Africa,” Matshidiso Moeti, WHO regional director for Africa, said at a press briefing Thursday.
To get more accurate numbers of infections and better curb transmission, the UN plans to increase rapid diagnostic tests in eight African countries with a goal of testing 7 million people next year.
The initiative is a “radically” new approach that shifts from passive surveillance to active surveillance by working with communities, Moeti said. The rapid tests are affordable, reliable and easy to use and will provide results in 15 minutes, she said. An additional 360,000 cases are expected to be detected using the tests, of which about 75% are asymptomatic or mild, she said.
The initiative will be based on what is called a ring strategy which was used to eradicate smallpox and which was implemented during the Ebola outbreaks. This is called a ring method because it will target people living within 100 meters (110 yards) of new confirmed cases.
Health professionals hailed the approach and said it would help the continent get ahead of the pandemic rather than catch up. Since the start of the epidemic, Africa has recorded more than 8 million cases of COVID-19 and 214,000 deaths, according to the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The rapid tests will also provide those in charge with the data to avoid overwhelming health systems and implementing restrictions that can be “disastrous in terms of economic consequences,” said Ngozi Erondu, senior researcher at the O’Neill Institute. from Georgetown University.
However, the UN has warned that with Africa having millions of undetected cases, there is an urgent need to speed up the continent’s access to vaccines, which are slow to arrive. Immunization rates in Africa are low. Only 30% of the continent’s 54 countries have fully immunized 10% of their population while many high-income countries have achieved immunization rates of nearly 90%, according to the UN
As the year-end trips approach which are expected to lead to an increase in the number of cases, Moeti said African countries should prepare for a possible fourth wave. She urged rich countries to share a significant number of doses with Africa now rather than wait until next year.

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has unveiled its fourth strategic plan. During her State of Higher Education address Tuesday, Commissioner Teresa Lubbers said the plan, Reaching Higher in a State of Change, provides the vision for the state to achieve its goal of having at least 60% of Hoosiers with quality credentials beyond a high school diploma by 2025.
Currently, 43% of Hoosiers have education and training past high school.
“We have outlined key strategies and policies… which are aggressive and essential to our success,” said Lubbers, who says the plan has four pillars: completion, equity, talent, measuring change.
Lubbers says the changing landscape of higher education and the demands of a new and changing economy require an expanded definition of “completion” and “higher education.”
She says postsecondary education includes not only two- and four-year college degrees, but all quality credentials from short-term certificates, apprenticeships and industry certifications.
In defining equity, Lubbers says “life’s circumstances or obstacles should not dictate a person’s opportunity to succeed.”
The ICHE has been focused on reducing and eliminating the state’s achievement gaps, resolving to cut those gaps in half by 2018 and close educational gaps by 2025.
The higher education commissioner says in order to unlock the state’s talent needs and develop and unleash Indiana’s potential.
“Indiana’s willingness to embrace this new higher education compact with a collective sense of urgency and optimism will determine our state’s readiness and prosperity for decades to come,” Lubbers said.
Lubbers says the commission is also committed to measure the state’s program, including educational attainment, career preparation and economic impact.
“We know that the Commission cannot meet these ambitious goals alone. We need strong partners inside state government and our institutions, along with employers and the philanthropic community,” Lubbers said.

Metal-organic frameworks invert molecular reactivity: Lewis acidic phosphonium zwitterions catalyze the Aldol-Tishchenko reaction.
American Chemical Society
The influence of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as additives is herein described for the reaction of n-alkyl aldehydes in the presence of methylvinylketone and triphenylphosphine. In the absence of a MOF, the expected Morita–Baylis–Hillman product, a β-hydroxy enone, is observed. In the presence of MOFs with UMCM-1 and MOF-5 topologies, the reaction is selective to Aldol-Tishchenko products, the 1 and 3 n-alkylesters of 2-alkyl-1,3-diols, which is unprecedented in organocatalysis. The (3-oxo-2-butenyl)triphenylphosphonium zwitterion, a commonly known nucleophile, is identified as the catalytic active species. This zwitterion favors nucleophilic character in solution, whereas once confined within the framework, it becomes an electrophile yielding Aldol-Tishchenko selectivity. Computational investigations reveal a structural change in the phosphonium moiety induced by the steric confinement of the framework that makes it accessible and an electrophile.

We all already know that the colors of 2016 according to Pantone are Rose Quartz and Serenity. I want to show you how fast these colors entered our lives with designs like this one: the marble nail art. The colors used for this nail decoration are similar to the colors of the year of Pantone – baby pink and baby blue. Take a look at the steps and you will see how easy it is to create such an adorable decoration, when the colors match perfectly together. And here are the steps, let’s trace them together:
First of all, you should shape your nails. If you skip that step, you will risk having ugly and uneven nails. And this is not the desired result after all, right?
Once the nails are filed into the desired shape, which I recommend you to be Oval, you should check the condition of the skin around the nails. If the skin is too dry and there are dry and chapped cuticles all around the nails, you must exfoliate the fingers and then cut the excessive cuticles, which tend to make your nails ugly and not good looking.
When the nails, the fingers and the hands are prepared and groomed, you can start with the application of the colors. First, paint the nails in a primer to hold on a long lasting and good looking decoration.
Then, cover the nails in the pink color. Apply two layers and let it dry before you move to the next step.
Then, take a plastic kitchen roll and cut a piece. Squish it between your fingers and hold it for now.
Pour a drop of the blue color on the nail and use the plastic wrap to press it and smudge it all over the nails. This way, the colors will merge together imitating the marble decoration.
Keep up with this routine until you decorate all the nails.
Then let it dry and seal the deal with a top coat. Enjoy!

I would not normally post a prolonged author's notes, and I may not ever again. But after the journey this fic has been, I feel the need to explain a few things.
First of all, thank you to everyone who threatened, begged and cajoled for more of this fic. If it hadn't been for the fact that I knew people were reading this, I may have lost this story permanently in the fall of 2004. At that time, I had just moved and taken a new job - one about seven hours from home. Within three months, I knew I was in the wrong place with the wrong people. As a sports editor, I had not just my abilities as a writer questioned, but who I was as a person.
It was the most miserable eight months of my life. In addition to the job troubles and living in a conservative area, I was going through some health issues ... and my mom was awaiting a kidney transplant.
In March, her kidney transplant happened, and I decided I needed to come home. By the end of the month, I was home with my parents. By the second week of April, I had a new job that has completely renewed my love for writing and for journalism. It has also renewed my faith in the human race.
Without those people who stuck with me, Edge of Night would have likely remained unfinished. This is the longest story I have ever completed by about 25,000 words.
A few quick thank yous, as these people deserve them, and I really wanted to do a few shout-outs:
MN Talbert/Kodiak Bear Country: Thank you for threatening to climb through my PC and tear Chapter 11 out of me. You will never know how much that meant...especially with you writing such great SGA fic. You made my day that day.
Jen, my beta reader: I can't say enough about you. I really can't. Thank you for everything, from being my friend to making sure I finally learned how to spell "maneuver." Love ya, sis.
Kerry: Thank you for your English major perfectionism...and being one of the best friends someone can ask for.
Cyndi, Lona and Crys: Thank you for sticking with me...and caring so much.
That's it. I'm done. Oh, and one final statement for everyone:
YES, THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL!

Gujarat’s BJP Government distributed Akhilesh Yadav’s Bags in schools; Here is details
Gandhi Nagar, June 13: Nearly 12,000 bags distributed by the local administration left many questions in Gujarat’s Chhota Udepur this week.
The Bags conveyed a sticker with a panchayat logo. In any case, when children peeled it off, they found another sticker underneath it – one that was extremely surprising. It was a photo of Akhilesh Yadav, the previous Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, demonstrating that the packs had been made to be appropriated to School Children in Uttar Pradesh by the previous Samajwadi Party government.
The Bags were dispersed as a part of “Shala Pravesh Utsav” – a yearly government occasion intended to school enlistment – in Chhota Udepur, a town 9 hours from Ahmedabad. The administration authorities show up flummoxed. The state’s education department has begun an investigation.
Amid its five-year term, the Akhilesh Yadav government had not only distributed bags, as well as laptops and other study materials and considerably dinner plates to school kids in Uttar Pradesh.
Last year, as many as 1.8 crore schoolbags were sanctioned for students from Class 1 to 8 by the Samajwadi Party government. But midway through the distribution, assembly polls were declared in the state. Under the model code of conduct, the undistributed bags, carrying the images of Mr Yadav, had to be stowed away.
A year ago, upwards of 1.8 crore schoolbags were authorized for students from Class 1 to 8 by the Samajwadi Party (SP) government. In any case, halfway through the dissemination, get together assembly elections was proclaimed in the state. Under the model code of conduct, the undistributed bags, conveying the pictures of Akhilesh Yadav, must be stowed away.
The Bharatiya Janata Party government led by Yogi Adityanath which succeeded Akhilesh, permitted the conveyance of the schoolbags, despite the fact that they conveyed the photo of his antecedent.
Officials said the saffron-clad 45-year-old Chief Minister was not in favour of wasting public money for “political ego”. Besides, he wanted the bags to reach students in time for the new school session, which begins in April.

Its Thanksgiving in the USA! Confession: I don’t like turkey. Prime rib with horseradish sauce? You bet!!
Anyway, Treasuries ended mixed Wednesday with the yield curve sharply flatter after a raft of U.S. economic data and minutes of the November FOMC meeting bolstered expectations for an earlier start to Fed rate increases. Two- and 5-year yields reached YTD highs, and 5s30s spread reached narrowest since March 2020.
Over the past week, the Treasury actives curve rose 13.85 basis points at the 2 year tenor.
Yields ended richer by ~6bp across long-end of the curve, while front-end cheapened almost 3bp; 2s10s flattened more than 5bp, 5s30s more than 6bp; 10-year yields shed ~3bp to ~1.635%
Release of Nov. 2-3 FOMC meeting minutes drew minimal market reaction, as flatter curve held its shape.
The US Dollar Swaps curve rose from the previous week as well.
Minutes said participants considered elevated inflation as likely transitory, “but judged that inflation pressures could take longer to subside than they had previously assessed”
Earlier, front-end and belly sold off after a heavy slate of U.S. economic data including the lowest initial jobless claims tally since 1969
Also during U.S. morning, Fed’s Daly said she would support accelerated tapering of asset purchases, which added to pressure across front-end Treasuries
Subsequently, eurodollars traded heavy over the session as rate-hike premium continued to ramp up in 2022 and 2023; overnight index swaps showed 30% chance of a March hike, while around three hikes — or 75bp — were priced in by the end of next year

Dear loving readers and visitors,
In my recent trip to the Jiangsu Water Town, we managed to get a bus ticket, though we arrived there almost 9:00 a.m. at Shanghai Stadium and were back there 3:30 p.m. on the same day.
Trust the photos, together with a short briefing below, will please your eyes and hearts.
Zhouzhuang is a town of Kunshan City - a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. The town is situated between Suzhou and Shanghai, 30 km the southeast of Suzhou and 60 km the southwest of Shanghai.
Dubbed 'Venice of the East', this town boasts the best preserved water town in China. The town has a history of over 900 years and most of residence and houses in the town were built in Ming (1368-1644) or Qing Dynasties (1644-1911).The rivers and streams in Zhouzhuang crisscross the town and are spanned by 14 stone-arch bridges constructed in Yuan (1271-1368), Ming, and Qing Dynasties. Many thanks to these waterways, the town avoided the chaos that might be caused by wars in the past dynasties and most of its architectural layouts have eventually remained intact.
There are many fantastic places and views to visit and see, including Twin Bridges, Fuan Bridge, Shen House, Milou Tower, and more. Many bridges in the town show unique bridge traditions different from other designs. The most amazing view displays a house where a boat can enter the property through the front gate and sail through the courtyard.
The public was aware of the beauty of Zhouzhuang in 1985 after the painting, the Remembrance of My Hometown, by Chen Yifei, was presented to Deng Xiaoping, the China’s most respected political veteran, by Mr. Armand Hammer, chairman in the board of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation of the United States.
The town has been listed with the highest rank of 5-AAAAA among the national tourist attractions, and in 2001 Zhouzhuang hosted the Informal Trade Ministerial Conference of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. This year the town has once again been selected as one of the top 50 China’s tourist attractions in a nationwide survey. There are more than 1 million tourists visiting the small water town each year.
The above photo of my friend taken at the compound of the water town.
Below please find some of the beautiful scenery at the water town.
Look at all the fishes swimming so freely in the water and their lives are so wonderful. It reminds me that to have life, we should not worry unnecessarily. It will hinder us from moving freely like the fishes. In this sense, we may forget how precious our lives are, by being caught in the rat race.
Thanks for your time and please give the above thought a serious consideration.
Have a fruitful day,

Eating too much sodium — salt — is implicated in a variety of diseases: heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, stomach cancer, and kidney stones. And then there’s the puffiness, bloating, and weight gain after indulging in high-sodium foods.
So the fact that food manufacturers are offering more foods with less sodium is generally good, but there is one exception: the move puts people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at risk for taking in too much potassium.
Historically, salt was added to foods to preserve them and prevent spoilage. As better ways of preserving foods evolved, like refrigeration, sodium was added to enhance the flavor and texture of packaged foods.
Added potassium may make low-sodium foods unsafe for people with chronic kidney disease.
For a healthy person, that’s not a big deal, but for someone in the advanced stages of CKD, it could be a problem.
Diseased kidneys are no longer able to remove excess sodium, potassium and phosphorus from the blood so patients must keep their intake of these nutrients low. But with potassium and phosphorus being added to foods in which the sodium content has been lowered, CKD patients could find themselves in a Catch-22 situation.
Arti Sharma Parpia, a registered dietitian at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, and her colleagues analyzed 19 sodium-reduced meat products from Canada’s major grocery store chains. The protein, sodium, phosphorus, and potassium content of each was compared with the original versions.
They found that the sodium-reduced meat products indeed had less sodium, 25 to 55 percent less, but the potassium content was much higher at 210 to 1,500 mg per 100 grams. Additives containing potassium were found in 63 percent of the sodium-reduced products and 25 percent of the original products. The phosphorus and protein content of both non-sodium reduced and sodium-reduced products were about the same.
“Patients with chronic kidney disease need to be aware of the potential for higher potassium content in sodium-reduced foods, as they are educated to follow a low sodium diet and may inadvertently choose sodium-reduced foods without realizing the risk of an increased potassium load from additives,” she said in a statement.
Potassium content is not currently required to be listed on the Nutrition Facts panel of food labels. Parpia would like to see it added, particularly on the labels of foods that claim to be reduced in sodium. Patients with CKD need the information to make informed food choices, since the added potassium may make low-sodium foods unsafe for them.
The study was presented at the American Society of Nephrology’s Kidney Week 2014 in Philadelphia, PA.

Today at noon, in front of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, a protest will be held to mark the first anniversary of the death of nine-year old Tamara Dimovska from Veles. Organizers are asking the Attorney General to immediately file charges against those responsible for her death.
Since the event was launched on the social network “Facebook”, the Public Prosecution announced that several people are now suspects in the case.
9 Year-old Tamara Dimovska from Veles, who had a curvature of the spine, died last year on February 9, after showing no signs of life after she had been taken to the hospital in Veles.
The battle for the girl’s life with the authorities lasted for three months, and Health Minister Nikola Todorov said that the state would pay for the operation.

Animals are just like human beings. They also suffer from many diseases. Among them, diabetes is a common disease. If a man has diabetes he needs to keep the blood sugar level low, similarly in a dog’s case too, it is the glucose level that should be kept within the recommended limit, and losing weight can help in doing that.
Consult with a vet
Now, if your dog has diabetes, the first thing you need to do is to ask a veterinarian about how much calories your dog should have. Depending on your dog’s weight and how active the dog is, you will need to decide how much food you should give. Your veterinarian might suggest you a diet containing high fibre and low fat. If your dog is overweight, a high or moderate fibre diet would help it in losing weight, as the fibres will be working as fuel, and thus making your dog feel full. You can also go for the best natural dog food in Australia that will help your dog eat the right food and maintain his weight.
You have to be careful about your dog from the beginning
It is always better to be careful about certain diseases that a dog can develop with time. As diabetes is not an uncommon health condition among dogs, it is better to be careful about the foods you will give him or her. If you have a pup, you should start giving it taste of the wild wetlands formula.
Feed your dogs with enough protein
Sometimes high fibre diet can have certain side effects causing constipation and flatulence. Although it’s true that not all dogs face such side effects, yet a good number of researches show that the high fibre diet has no real benefit, and it is the diet containing high protein and less fat that actually helps dogs in eating less and losing more weight. However, studies also show that 40% of the total calories come from protein in your dog’s diet. So, make sure that you consult a veterinarian for a balanced diet for your dog before choosing randomly any food without knowing how much calories it has. As mentioned earlier, high fibre diet can cause constipation, it can be avoided if you make your dog drink a lot of water on a regular basis.
The most important thing you should always remember is to feed your dog consistent meals. If your dog takes insulin in an empty stomach, it’s not going to help in controlling the dog’s blood sugar levels. Timing is also very important. You can give your dog the insulin in between the meals every day. This way, your dog will grow up healthy and fit.
