Persimmon- six must - see reminders Although there are many benefits of eating persimmon, but there are a few points that we must be aware of: 1. Persimmons Cannot Be Eaten On An Empty Stomach. Contains more tannin and pectin, in an empty stomach under the effect of gastric acid, lumps of various sizes will formed, if these lumps can not reach the pyloric intestine, it will remain in the stomach to form gastric persimmon stone.   The stone originally is as small as apricots and persimmon seeds, but will tend to get larger if naturally expelled from the stomach, it will cause diospyrobezoar the digestive tract obstruction, resulting in upper abdominal pain, vomiting, and even vomiting blood and other symptoms. During surgery, persimmon stone as big as a fist was found in the stomach. If there's food in the stomach then the persimmon stone formation in the stomach can be avoided . 2. Persimmon Skin Should Not Be Eaten   Some people feel that eating persimmon fruit together with the skin taste better than just eating the flesh by itself.   Scientifically this is not advisable because the vast majority of persimmon tannin is concentrated in the skin. If eaten together with its skin the formation of gastric persimmon stone is easier, especially when the astringent process is incomplete, as its skin contains more tannic acid. 3... Do not eat persimmon together with high-protein crabs, fish, shrimp and other foods   In Chinese medicine, crab and persimmon are considered "cold foods", therefore they cannot be eaten together. From the perspective of modern medicine, crab, fish and shrimp contains high level of protein and thus under the effect of the tannic acid, it is easy to solidify into blocks, namely, stomach persimmon stone. 4. Diabetics Should Not Eat Pesimmon Persimmon has 10.8%  sugar content, and most are simple pairs of sugar and simple sugars (such as sucrose, fructose & glucose), which can easily be absorbed by our body after eating which may result in hyperglycemia. For diabetic people, especially those with poor glycemic control, it is even more harmful. 5. Enough is enough The tannic acid in persimmon together with dietary calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron and other minerals form compounds that cannot be absorbed by the body so that these nutrients can not be used and therefore eating  persimmons can easily lead to a lack of these minerals. And because there is more sugar in persimmon, eating the same amount of persimmon compared to apples or pears will make one fill full faster hence will affect one's appetite, and reduce the intake of meals. Generally, with an empty stomach, it is advisable that not more than 200 grams of persimmon should be taken.   6. Mouthwash after eating   Persimmon is high in sugar and contains pectin. After eating persimmon there will be some of the fruits remaining in the mouth, especially in between the teeth. With the acidic properties of the high tannic acid it is easy to cause tooth decay, the formation of dental caries. Therefore after eating persimmons it is advisable to drink some water or to rinse our mouths. *柿子 六項提醒 必看25-28 吃柿子雖然有很多好處，但有幾點需要提醒： 1. 空腹不能吃柿子 因柿子含有較多的鞣酸及果膠，在空腹情況下它們會在胃酸的作用下形成大小不等的硬塊， 如果這些硬塊不能通過幽門到達小腸，就會滯留在胃中形成胃柿石，小的胃柿石最初如杏子核， 但會愈積愈大。如果胃柿石無法自然被排出，那麼就會造成消化道梗阻，出現上腹部劇烈疼痛、 嘔吐、甚至嘔血等症狀，曾在手術中發現大如拳頭的胃柿石。如果胃“有底”的話，就可避免胃柿石的形成。   2. 柿子皮不能吃 有的人感到吃柿子的同時咀嚼柿子皮比單吃柿子更有味道，其實這種吃法是不科學的。 因為柿子中的鞣酸絕大多數集中在皮中，在柿子脫澀時，不可能將其中的鞣酸全部脫盡， 如果連皮一起吃更容易形成胃柿石，尤其是脫澀工藝不完善時，其皮中含的鞣酸更多。   3. 不要與含高蛋白的蟹、魚、蝦等食品一起吃 中醫學中，螃蟹與柿子都屬寒性食物，故而不能同食。從現代醫學的角度來看，含高蛋白的蟹、 魚、蝦在鞣酸的作用下，很易凝固成塊，即胃柿石。   4. 糖尿病人勿食    柿子中因含 10.8% 的糖類，且大多是簡單的雙糖和單糖 (蔗糖、果糖、葡萄糖即屬此類)， 因此吃後很易被吸收，使血糖升高。對于糖尿病人而言，尤其是血糖控制不佳者更是有害的。   5. 適可而止 柿子中的鞣酸能與食物中的鈣、鋅、鎂、鐵等礦物質形成不能被人體吸收的化合物， 使這些營養素不能被利用，故而多吃柿子容易導致這些礦物質缺乏。又因為柿子中含糖較多， 所以人們吃柿子比吃同樣數量的蘋果、生梨更有飽腹感，從而會影響食欲， 並減少正餐的攝入。一般認為，不在空腹的情況下，每次吃柿子不超過 200克為宜。   6. 吃後漱口 柿子含糖高，且含果膠，吃柿子後總有一部分留在口腔裏，特別是在牙縫中， 加上弱酸性的鞣酸，很易對牙齒造成侵蝕，形成齲齒，故而在吃柿子後宜喝幾口水， 或及時漱口。

Namaste Tower

LOWER PAREL

The Namaste tower! Designed by the Atkins design studio, work IS currently underway on this 300m-62 storeyed mixed use tower that will encompass a hotel, office and retail space.

The location is Ambika mills which is a couple hundred meters south. The developer of the project is unknown.

The renders and text were submitted by Atkins to the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona (3-5 Nov 2010).

Namaste: Hotel and Office Tower
Category: Future Projects - Commercial
Location: Mumbai, India
Architects: WS Atkins, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Atkins, United Arab Emirates



Following the long tradition of great Indian Architecture it was our aim that the Namaste Tower will stand as a landmark structure, representative of the burgeoning economic and cultural significance of India. We aimed to design a building that would become representative of the city: the picture postcard of Mumbai.




Key Statistics:
• 120,000 m2 of Gross Construction Area
• 380 key luxury hotel
• Exclusive restaurants, bars, banqueting and spa facilities
• 9,000 m2 of A grade office space
• 6,000 m2 of world class retail space
• 300 m overall building height


“Namaste"
The traditional Indian greeting of ‘Namaste’, where the hands are clasped together in greeting, is the inspiration for the design of this tower. In Sanskrit “Namaste` means “I bow to you`. It has a spiritual significance of negating one’s ego in the presence of another.

The Architecture of the Namaste Hotel builds on this ancient Indian expression. The two wings of the hotel are clasped together like hands greeting the city of Mumbai. In this way the architectural design of the hotel provides the ultimate symbol of hospitality and welcome, as seen in the as seen in the cultural context of India.






Visual Relationships to and from the Site
With a proposed height of 300 m the tower will be seen from a distance of more than 40 km. Therefore the visual appearance of the project as a major landmark is of great importance to the city of Mumbai.

Views from the tower will extend to the South over the Mahalkshi Race course towards the Mumbai Peninsula and to the South West over the Indian Ocean. The views to the north East are towards a number of adjacent towers that are currently being constructed. The orientation and massing of the tower have been designed in order to make the very best of these visual relationships.






The Building Skin
The tower has been designed to cater for large scale Indian weddings. The occasion of a Mehndi ceremony (where the hands and feet of the bride and groom are decorated with henna) is often one of the most important pre-wedding rituals in India.

The design seeks to build on the theme of the clasped hands by referencing the intricate Mehndi patterns through the treatment of the building skin. The tower is will be clad in fritted glazing that combines to form an architectural scale graphic on the exterior of the building. This will create a sense of transparency and depth to the building while at the same time helping to maintain the thermal qualities required to meet the building’s envelope design criteria.

It is proposed that the large scale canopies over the drop-off points area support an array of solar thermal collectors. Given the available surface area and annual sunlight conditions these have the potential to provide 12% of the energy required to heat the hot water for the hotel.

google maps):

^Site prep underway


General Arrangement
The tower is made up of two separate wings (or hands) which together form the architectural expression of “Namaste”. The space between the wings forms the corridor spaces. At either end of the corridor space a pair of open atria will offer hotel guests dramatic framed views out over the city.




Internal Atrium Gardens
These atria also serve to bring natural light deep into the plan. At the plant floor levels these atria are broken with internal gardens that serve to bring greenery into the corridor and atrium spaces. It was a central design aim to ensure that the circulation areas of the hotel, (including corridors) are just as impressive as the rooms themselves.




The Podium
The geometry of the podium is designed to integrate fully with the design of the tower. Thus it is a highly symmetrical form that responds to the wing like canopies above the drop off. Containing mostly retail, the facade of the podium is activated with water features and fountains that cascade down to street level.






The Summit
At the summit of the building a generous quadruple height atrium space encloses a Sky Restaurant and Bar which will provide a unique vantage point for patrons to gain panoramic views out over the city.

The SEARS TOWER,Chicago

Subject: The SEARS TOWER,Chicago


Not content with having the tallest building in America , the owners of Willis Tower in Chicago have installed four glass box viewing platforms which stick out of the building 103 floors up.

The balconies are suspended 1,353 feet in the air and jut out four feet from the building's Skydeck. They are 4x10x10, made of solid glass, floor included... 

 

 

Visitors get their first view from The Ledge -- four glass balconies suspended from the Tower.

 

 

Designers say the platforms - collectively dubbed The Ledge - have been purposely created to make visitors feel as they are floating above the city. The reward is unobstructed views of Chicago from the building's west side and a heart-stopping (well, duh!) vista of the street and Chicago River below - for those brave enough to look straight down. (not me!) It's like walking on ice.

 

 

v

John Huston, one of the owners of the Willis Tower, even admitted to getting 'a little queasy' when he ventured out on to the balcony. However, after 30 or 40 trips, he seems to have gotten used to it.

 

 

Long way up: Even the floor of the platforms are glass - few are brave enough to look straight down.  Although some adults felt dizzy after experiencing The Ledge, children seemed to take it in their stride. 

 

 

Fearless: Five-year-old Anna Kane spreads out on the floor of the 10ft square box which is 1,353 ft up.

 

 

Thrill seekers: The boxes jut out four feet from the building and were specifically designed to attract visitors.  The Willis Tower has always been about superlatives - tallest, largest, most iconic.

 

 

The Ledge is the world's most awesome view, the world's most precipitous view, the view with the most wow in the world. The balconies are 10ft high and 10ft wide, can hold five tons, and have glass which is 1.5 inch thick.

 

 

Inspiration came from the hundreds of forehead prints visitors left behind on The  Skydeck windows every week. Now, staff have a new glass surface to clean: floors!

 

 

Architect Ross Wimer said: 'We did studies that showed a 4' X 4' deep enclosure makes you feel like you're detached from the building particularly since there's only room for one row of people.' 

 

 

The Ledge is accessible from The Skydeck which attracts 25,000 visitors on clear days. They each pay $15 to take an elevator ride up to the 103rd floor of the 110-story office building that opened in 1973.

 

 

 

Mus: IF U GO TO THE MARKET IN THE MORNING U WILL GET A LOT OF CHOICES, BUT IF U WENT AT NOON THEN NOT MANY CHOICES LEFT, N IF U GO IN THE EVENING THEN TAKE WHAT IS LEFT OR ELSE U WILL STAY HUNGRY ALL NIGHT.

FW: MOST EXPENSIVE HOUSE IN THE WORLD

Subject: MOST EXPENSIVE HOUSE IN THE WORLD

 

MOST EXPENSIVE HOUSE IN THE WORLD
Named  – THE ANTILIA HOUSE.
Mukesh Ambani’s house is located in Mumbai City, India.

Antilia is named after the mythical island in the Atlantic.
The construction is inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon .

The $1 billion family home built for the world’s forth richest man

Mukesh Ambani, his wife and three children, is said to be the greenest

of all buildings.

 

Ambani family has employed a staff of 600 to tend to this home. 

 

According to Inhabitat the Antilia is ”boasting 27 stories at

568 feet high, with a total area of over 398,000 square feet

of living space, which are far from modest.

Antilla, has consumed electricity worth Rs.70,69,488 (AUD$146,000) in

the one month since Mukesh Ambani moved in with wife Nita and their

three children.

It is the Mumbai’s highest residential electricity bill generated till date.

The home contains a health club with a gym and dance studio,

a swimming pool, a ballroom, guestrooms, a variety of lounges,

and a 50-seater cinema.

Three helicopter pads have been installed on the roof, and a

car park for 160 vehicles sits on the ground floor.

How many cars do you have to need 6 levels of parking spaces?
I'll tell you how many cars he has  .... 168 imported cars!

 

Each floor are designed with various materials so as to bring a different look.

Lounges, fine rugs, chandeliers and mirrors can be seen at any room.

 

The most striking features of the Antilla which caught my eye is probably

the ballroom which has crystal chandeliers that take up approximately

80% of the ceiling. 

 

It has silver stairways that lead to a central landing, behind

which two retractable doors can open to display works of art.

There is also a stage for entertainment or speeches, with a projection

screen behind it.

A kitchen, about the same size as the ballroom itself, can

service hundreds of guests, an Olympic-size swimming pool

and a four-storey open garden.

Other floors have gyms and glass-fronted apartments for guests.

The two floors above the family’s residence have been set aside as maintenance

areas and for an “air space floor” capable of accommodating three helicopters.

BY the way, It’s made of entirely Glass.
