AWQAF and the Minor Affairs Foundation and GROHE sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to fit GROHE’s sustainable fittings in the UAE’s first eco-friendly mosque.
The MoU is part of the regional implementation of GROHE’s water sustainability project – ‘the GROHE Green Mosque initiative.’
The ‘Khalifa Al Tajer Mosque’ apart from being eco-friendly, will also be the largest mosque in Dubai. The mosque will be built to accommodate 3,500 worshippers and constructed over an area of 105,000 square feet. The mosque is expected to be completed in 2014.
The mosque is said to feature solar panels and the recycling and purifying of ablution water for irrigation and washroom supply.
Tayeb Al Rais, Secretary-General at AMAF said, “With GROHE’s sustainable technology we are looking forward to reducing the amount of excess water consumption that many mosques experience. GROHE’s fittings will enable the mosque to make considerable water savings to the benefit of both the mosque and the environment, and we look forward to its completion.”

Beautiful. hand drawn artwork from before the age of Photoshop.
Packed full of explanations of all the basic scientific principles. I learnt an incredible amount from these.
27/52 I recently found out that on the MBTI I am an INFJ. The MBTI uses Carl Jung’s theories on personalities. There are 16 personalities which are represented by letters. The INFJ type is the rarest. Some people like to pretend that they are INFJ because they want to be “special” or “rare”. I have done a lot of reading (rather obsessively) and I am sure that this is my type. Many things I didn’t understand about myself are now making sense. I see why I feel I am different to other people. It has been a beautiful and emotional discovery.

Hot dipped galvanized pipes are made by heating the metal pipe until it becomes soft. After that, you must cool it again. The hot dip galvanized construction is different from the standard form because during this process, there is no application of an anodize Instead; the alloying material used on the pipe is dipped into the molten zinc. This alloying material is very similar to anodizing.

Fun with Aperture, Shutter Speed and Metering!
The photo on the left was shot with auto exposure. The entire hallway appears darker than real life because the exposure is compensating for the brightness of the opening ahead.
The photo on the right was shot by metering the area of the wall above the opening, changing the shutter speed until the meter indicated a correct exposure, then recomposing the picture to straight ahead. Because I metered the light reflecting off the walls of the hallway instead of straight ahead toward the opening, the walls of the hallway are better exposed.
Both taken with ISO: 800; Aperture: f/1.8.
