CRUDE, YET EFFICIENT
Large equipment moves in several months after the forest fire.
This beast is impressive! The long arm can grab a hold of the standing tree, while a chain saw (attached to arm) cuts the dead tree. Then it maneuvers the tree around to the pile or truck bed.
Good for dense forest with thousands of dead trees. Not so great for the wildlife!

Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

The Meridian Energy Building
Energy efficient 5 star eco-rated office building
Plaats: 33 Customhouse Quay - Wellington - New Zealand
The " Meridian Energy Building" in Wellington, New Zealand, is an ultra green office building (5 star quotation).
The building has been developed to reduce energy consumption by 60% and water consumption by 70% compared to similar, regular office buildings. It is one of the first buildings that has been developed and built according to “Ecologically Sustainable Development” (ESD) principles.
The building has been equipped with for example a sun-activated boiler system, warmth recuperation systems, intelligent house automation, a modern ventilation system (through cooled beams), an “active” external wall and a rainwater recuperation system.
De Boer Waterproofing Solutions provided the hi-tech DuO waterproofing system and provided installation details and wind uplift calculations.
The energy efficient construction harbours a coffee shop, Wagamama restaurant, the ferry ticketing service and several company offices.
The “open” architecture creates the feeling of space and due to its design its environment absorbs the building.
"The Meridian Energy Building" is already one of the most modern and advanced buildings in New Zealand.

When it comes to home comfort, our company has always taken pride in offering the most efficient equipment at affordable prices. But many don’t know we’ve also adopted the cleanest forms of energy as they develop on the market; putting the time, training and money forward in order to offer environmentally friendly options. We offer Greenspeed Equipment that uses less energy to produce more comfort. We offer tankless and hybrid water heaters to preserve energy through the water heating process. We have put our technicians through training and offer Geothermal design and installation, as well as Radiant Floor Heat Solutions. And in 2015, we believe Solar has become advanced enough for our company to feel comfortable to offer it to our customers. Our technicians and electricians are looking forward to becoming trained and certified to bring you this powerful energy solution.
There have been many misconceptions to Solar Energy over the years, so we’ve compiled a list of the common myths.
Solar Energy is Too Expensive.
- With TLC’s Special financing for Solar, you can go Solar with NO MONEY DOWN and start saving 15% or more on your electric bill today. There are many rebates and tax incentives that may be available for you to also help offset the cost. As with all of our estimates, a Solar Evaluation Estimate is Free with TLC.
Solar Energy is Unreliable.
- Solar Panels come with a manufacturer’s 25 year warranty and will most likely last even longer. How many electronics do you own with a 25 year warranty? TLC also backs our services with a 100% No-Risk, Money Back, Satisfaction Guarantee.
Solar won’t work when it’s really cloudy or shady.
-Germany has five times as much solar power as the US, despite having the amount of sun as Alaska, the lowest in the entire US.
Solar Energy is hard to maintain.
Solar energy requires almost no maintenance during it’s lifetime, 30 years or more! Besides annual cleaning and inspection, solar panels basically take care of themselves.
Solar Energy isn’t doing well because of Solyndra.
- Quite the opposite. Solyndra is proof that the cost of solar is going down dramatically, making it harder for some companies to compete. This makes solar more accessible to every day Americans.
-The Cost of Solar energy in the US has come down over 60% since 2011 (Watch a short video from Clean Technica HERE.)
Solar Energy isn’t for me. I’m not an environmentalist or very tech-savvy.
- If you like to save money, solar energy is for you.
- Homeowners will save an average of $20,000 over the life of the solar energy system. (Clean Technica)
-A Solar Energy System is being installed every 4 minutes in the US. By 2016, it’s projected to become every 83 seconds.
Exciting Facts about Solar Energy!
It’s an Abundant Resource – The energy in twenty days of sunshine is the same as all the coal, oil and natural gas known to humans. (Rooftop Revolution)
A Booming Industry- California installed more megawatts of solar energy in 2013 that it did in the last 30 years…combined! (15 Facts about Solar)
Solar for Everyone- In California, solar installations are taking place in middle-class neighborhoods where the median income ranges from $40,000-$90,000. (Center for American Progress)
Job Creation- Twice as many Americans work in Solar energy than in the coal industry. Solar is generating 10 times as many jobs as the national average. (The Solar Foundation)
If you have other questions regarding Solar that weren’t answered here, please feel free to contact us today to learn more about Solar’s renewable energy source!
We hope to provide our future generations with smaller carbon footprints to follow.

The facility allows for fast, efficient and essential chemistry-free extraction of fission fragments.
CARIBU provides beams of californium-252 fission fragments – neutron-rich isotopes far from stability – for experimenters. The facility allows for fast, efficient and essential chemistry-free extraction of fission fragments. CARIBU uses a gas catcher and various isotope separation techniques to provide low-energy beams for mass measurements, beta decay or laser manipulation, or for injection into the ATLAS » accelerator following charge breeding.
The study of neutron-rich radioactive nuclei is of significant interest in nuclear-structure physics, where knowledge of how structural properties evolve with neutron excess can shed light on fundamental features of the interaction between nucleons and the shapes of nuclei.
In nuclear astrophysics, the masses, decay rates, decay modes and Q values of nuclei produced in stellar environments is key to understanding the origin of elements. CARIBU was designed to give experimenters access to some of these nuclei by catching fission fragments of californium-252 and making them available as low-energy beams or for charge breeding to use in ATLAS.
The low-energy beams produced by CARIBU can be sent to the Canadian Penning Trap » for high precision measurements of masses of very neutron-rich nuclei.
Near CARIBU, a new low-background, low-energy beam area is being built to accommodate beta decay tape stations and laser spectroscopy set-ups.
Additionally, a new EBIS ion source has been developed to efficiently charge breed the CARIBU beams to make them suitable for acceleration through ATLAS. This makes it possible to study a large variety of phenomena from Coulomb excitation to transfer reactions.

D&E Coaches operated Volvo B11R Caetano Winner S9 YST - Previously BP12 ZBD and 12-D-25433 - is pictured entering Inverness Bus Station with a service on route 61.
This vehicle wears the D&E white livery, in this example with the fading triple swoops detail design. It has since been repainted into the 2022 design.
It is passing West Coast Motors operated Irizar i6S Efficient YT23 HYK - 12308 - which is between duties on the Citylink M10. This coach is in the newest Scottish Citylink livery.

Remote sensing technology is on track to make crop breeding faster and more efficient, ensuring smallholder farmers get the improved maize varieties they need.
Field phenotyping – the comprehensive physical assessment of plants for desired traits – is an integral part of the crop breeding process but can create a costly and time-consuming bottleneck, according to Mainassara Zaman-Allah, abiotic stress phenotyping specialist at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT).
Now, technological advances such as proximal or aerial sensing allow scientists to quickly collect information from plants to develop improved varieties.
“Previously, we used to measure maize height with a stick, and manually capture the data” he said. “Now we use proximal sensing—a laser distance meter connected to your phone or tablet that automatically captures data —to measure plant height 2 to 3 times faster for half of the labor. We also use digital ear imaging to analyze maize ear and kernel attributes including grain yields without having to shell the cobs, saving time and money on labor. This will be helpful particularly to most of our partners who do not own the machinery required for shelling after harvest”
Zaman-Allah also works with aerial sensing, using unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with sensors to fly over crop fields and collect images that are later processed to extract crop phenotypic data. “Aerial phenotyping platforms enable us to collect data from 1,000 plots in 10 minutes or less, a task that might take eight hours to do manually,” he said.

West Coast Motors operated Irizar i6S Efficient YT23 HYK - 12308 - is pictured in Inverness Bus Station between duties on the Citylink M10 service.
This vehicle wears the newest Scottish Citylink livery and is one of the first batch of 6 of its type in their fleet. When I first saw a photo of these I thought they looked so odd with only camera mirrors, and to a certain extent I still think that with any coach with this setup, often they just don't look quite right without big wing mirrors!

Just one of the energy efficient houses in the eco-village of Findhorn, northeast Scotland. Couldn't decide for sure whether I prefered this in colour or black and white so resorted to posting both.
Private 5 acre estate with efficient custom home – For Sale By Owner: $998,000
In the mountains just mauka of the heart of Kona Town you find nestled a small arts community called Holualoa…There’s not much to Holualoa, a blink of the eye your past it driving by the Pink Kona Hotel built in 1926 (http://www.city-data.com/picfilesc/picc5136.php), or our small post office saying Aloha to Joy or Tom the Post Master…or quite simply going to the old movie theater on Saturday night for free. And let’s not forget our excellent Holualoa Elementary School built in 1897…this is “our” little piece of heaven away from the hustle and bustle of the world’s problems.
Hualalai Farms is a gated community with mostly 5 acre parcels of world famous “Kona Coffee”. And it is good! We’re an old community by most standards up here with a fine group of quiet folks that enjoy the peaceful life of gentlemen farmers, waving to one another as we pass on the road.
My journey led me here in 1989, but it’s time to move on to a new adventure, and my little piece of solitude is available for sale. I moved into this house which I built for my family in February of 2009. For all intents and purposes it’s new. I haven’t ripped out the old Ohia trees with their beautiful Lahua Blossoms. I enjoy the privacy, and watching the sun rise over Mauna Loa in the mornings, and the cruise ships passing by below.
I designed this home and property to be efficient with low maintenance, but additional growth or changes are easy to do. If you think you’d be interested in my slice of the world then by all means email me. I’d be more than happy to call you if you forward your telephone number. If you have SKYPE on your computer we can even walk around the house and property.
