Eco-friendly: Pollution levels gone down in Bhopal without fire cracker ban

The Supreme Court ban on fire crackers may not have had the desired impact on post Diwali pollution levels in Delhi and NCR but in Bhopal city residents appear to have taken the cue even without the stick falling on the Madhya Pradesh state capital.

According to the Diwali day data released by the state pollution control board, pollution levels in Bhopal have gone down in comparison to last level.

According to RR Singh Sengar of State Pollution Control Bureau, particulate matter of 10 micrometers or less (PM 10) in diameter has gone down.

"Till last year, we used to measure just PM 10 and that has gone down. This year, we also measured PM 2.5 and found that 75 per cent in PM 10 was PM 2.5 on Diwali day," Sengar said.

The Pollution Control Board did sampling at seven locations in Bhopal, out of which two were industrial areas, AKVN and Mandideep.

The pollution levels were observed to be within limits in both industrial areas. Last year, the Pollution Control Board had taken samples at three locations.

"The average pollution in Bhopal was within the prescribed limits and this was perhaps due to increased awareness amongst city residents," Sengar said.

The pollution levels went down even though state Home Minister, Bhoopendra Singh, had openly ridiculed Supreme Court for banning crackers. He also invited Delhiites to Madhya Pradesh to burst crackers on Diwali.

The government, on lines of the Union Environment Ministry's notification that banned high decibel crackers had banned manufacture, sale and use of crackers emitting noise levels exceeding 125 dB(A1) or 145 dB(C).

RSS General Secretary Bhaiyaa Ji Joshi, who was in Bhopal a day before Diwali too, had taken a dig at the cracker ban saying someone could raise similar objections to 'diyas' in the future.

Despite the Home Minister's invite to Delhiites, various campaigns for a green diwali were carried out by an active citizenry in Bhopal that seems to have clearly paid.

Seems like Delhiites really need to learn the art of being eco-friendly from Bhopal residents.

Saudi Father and his son marry Two Sisters

Some of the news that hit our ear dreams cannot scare us and any more than this. This week, social media has been flooded with the news about a 70-year-old man who ended up marrying a young woman in the city of Jeddah. Marriage is a very important decision that involves two families and each of their future despite only two of them tying the knot. However, two certain families in the Kingdom did not find it unusual to wedding of two daughters in the same house. Perhaps this wouldn’t have been odd, but the fact both father and son married two sisters is quite disturbing to hear.

A young man wanted to marry a woman he was deeply in love with. This wasn’t his first marriage and thus his decision faced much discussion and contradiction by his first wife and mother. They both were not in favor of the marriage and hence tried to convince the man to drop the idea, but he couldn’t convince his heart as he was in love with the woman he wished to marry. After convincing the father of the man, they decided to call off the engagement in a proper manner. The father who was 70 years old visited the compound of the girl to call off the engagement. During his visit, he came across a woman in their home who was busy serving tea. The father asked the father of the “bride-to-be” who she was.

Apparently, that was the sister of the “bride to be” and was in her 30’s. She was divorced and hence was living with her family.  The father had shown deep interest in the young woman who was 40 years younger than him. He offered the family another marriage proposal. This time, he asked the hand for his other daughter not for his son, but for himself! Rather than calling off the engagement of his son, he ended up marrying the sister in law of his son. Both the mother and first wife were shocked when the father came home married hand in hand with the bride’s sister in law.

Not only that, but the son was deeply in shock as what happened in just a few hours. Over social media, there has been a wide amount of criticism. Women and men both quarrel over the disturbing incident.  They have asked what caused the family of the woman to wed their daughter to a man who is old enough to be her Grandfather. Was it right for the family to wed their daughter off since they were aware that no one would take her in otherwise because of her previous failed marriage?

There I no doubt that there are certain conflicts that the family is fighting with. The mother now is bound to welcome another daughter in law along with her sister who shall share her old husband. The son who was to become a groom himself once again shall now make Valima preparations for his father.

Indian economy is on a solid growth track, International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Lagarde

The Indian economy is on a solid growth track in the medium and long term due to the structural reforms undertaken by the government, and the current slowdown due to implementation of the goods & services tax (GST) and demonetisation is short term, International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde has said.

The IMF on Tuesday lowered India's growth forecast for 2017-18 to 6.7% from its earlier estimate of 7.2%, citing lingering impact of demonetisation and transition cost to GST. But, India is expected to regain the fastest growing major economy tag next year when it is forecast to grow 7.4% (slower than earlier estimate of 7.7%), higher than China's 6.5%. IMF also expects the Indian economy to grow 8% in the medium term on the back of reforms undertaken so far.

"We have slightly downgraded India. However, we believe that India is on a growth track for the medium and long term, that is much more solid as a result of the structural reforms that have been conducted in India in the last couple of years," Lagarde told a news conference in Washington, DC.

"Now, of course the demonetisation that took place, of course collapsing 40 different taxes into one single GST is a monumental effort and given the implementation associated with, it is hardly surprising that there is a little bit of a short-term slowdown as a result but for the medium term we see a very solid track ahead of the Indian economy," she said.

Lagarde was confident that jobs would be created in India on the back of reforms unveiled by the government. The Narendra Modi-led government has faced criticism after growth slowed to a three-year low of 5.7% in the June quarter, prompting the PM to slam critics for spreading what he called was "pessimism".

"The (fiscal) deficit has been reduced, inflation is down significantly and the structural reforms will deliver jobs the Indian population, particularly the young Indian people, expect in the future," the IMF chief said indicating a strong support for the government's reforms agenda.

Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock create records with Bangladesh

South Africa openers Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla shared a record 282-run partnership as hosts registered a ten-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the first ODI on Sunday at Kimberley. With a modest target of 279, both openers gave very less to Bangladesh bowlers as they chased down the total with 43 balls remaining.

De Kock, who played some great cricketing shots, scored 168 runs from 145 balls which included 21 fours and two maximums. The 24-year old left-handed batsman scored his 13th ODI ton, however, felt 10-run short of his career best score. Amla, on the other end, too remained steady with his innings and scored his 26th ODI century. The right-handed batsman hit eight boundaries on course of his 110-run knock. Amla has now taken fewest innings (154) to 26 ODI hundreds, whereas Indian skipper Virat Kohli took 166.

As hosts took 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series, Amla-de Kock partnership powered South Africa to chase down the target without losing a wicket, surpassing England’s 255 against Sri Lanka in 2016. Their 282-run stand also became the third highest opening wicket partnership. Sri Lanka’s Sanath Jayasuriya-Upul Tharanga hold the record for 286 runs against England, which is followed by David Warner-Travis Head’s 284-run stand against Pakistan in 2016.

Bangladesh also entered the record books – but for all the wrong reasons. They have now lost 11 ODI matches by 10 wickets, the most any team.

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, visitors were off to a steady start before Kagiso Rabada dismissed both openers. Bangladesh batsmen could not hold on to their resistance as wickets kept falling at regular intervals. But, captain Mushfiqur Rahim’s knock of 110 runs and partnerships with Shakib Al Hasan (59), Mahmudullah (69) and a 42-run stand with Sabbir Rahman took their score to 278/7 in 50 overs. Rabada was the pick of the bowlers as he finished his 10-over spell for 4/43 while Dwaine Pretorius claimed two wickets.

Foods that will increase your Penis Size

Bananas: Studies have revealed that males who have a healthy heart may gain a few inches successfully. It has also been discovered that the potassium found in bananas can assist in enhancing the health of the heart, while improving the circulation of the blood.

With better circulation of the blood around the body, and having a healthy heart, growth of the penis will be an easier task. Eating bananas can keep the levels of sodium of the body low, which assists in the prevention of heart diseases and other problems related to the heart.

Salmon: Salmon is rich in all the heart healthy fatty oils like omega 3.

These healthy fatty oils assist in thinning the blood leading to lower viscosity which in turn helps in the better circulation of blood in the body.

Research has shown that having healthy blood flow is one of the major factors in accomplishing stronger and stiffer erections.

Onions: Even though it was not known before, many researchers have shown the importance of onions as an important food for better circulation of blood.

Onions also assist in the prevention of clotting of blood. This carries a huge advantage for enhancing the blood circulation to the heart and penis too.

From what has been discussed so far, it can be observed that the trend of having a healthy heart and blood flow is very important in growing a stronger and longer penis that has stiffer and more powerful erections.

While an individual can get help from eating these foods, eating the foods alone is not enough for the growth of the penis. In addition to consuming the three main foods, you have to incorporate other vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats into your diet. Along with that, you have to eliminate junk food and processed foods from your every day diet.

For better results, you might want to utilize herbal penis enlargement supplements like the Xtra Large Capsules, and lead a healthy lifestyle, incorporating healthier habits and consuming a balanced, healthy diet. Eating all these healthy foods and utilizing high quality herbal penis supplements can assist you in obtaining quicker penis enlargement results.

Many herbal pills for penis enlargement are safe to utilize and have approved and tested ingredients, considered to be very effective by top medical experts. Many companies offer their customers a full money back guarantee so that the customers can try the products, see the results and only then continue using the product.


Things to Remember For a Healthy Penis

Lose It or Use It (Having healthy erections is important!)

To keep your penis in shape, having erections on a regular basis is really necessary. This means that it has to be exercised every now and then. In order to maintain a healthy tone, the penis’s smooth muscle must be enriched by oxygen from the circulation of blood.

This makes the penis erect and engorges it. If a male is able to get erect, but does not have erections during the day, he should not worry because the brain has penis maintenance function installed. Signals from the brain can cause erections during the REM phase.

If people do not do anything to maintain the regular erections, then they will experience a shortening of the penis. Without frequent erections, the penile tissues can start shrinking and become less elastic, making the male’s penis 1 to 2 centimeters shorter.

Your Penis is a Grower (Bigger Penis In Normal Condition = Bigger Erection? Not Necessarily)

Among males, there is no relationship between the size of a flaccid penis and the full erect length. In a study of eighty men, researchers discovered that an increase from flaccid lengths to erect lengths varied widely.

Whatever the significance of the data might be, the locker room importance is considerable. You cannot assume that a man with a big penis gets bigger with small erections and the guy who has a tiny penis might need a bigger erection.

Sensitivity Reduces As You Age

Studies have shown that the penis loses sensitivity as males get older; however it is not certain by how much.

This is because different researchers have utilized various ways to measure sensitivity and stimulate the penis. Despite the different researches, the information collected shows a trend of sensitivity starting to decrease from 25 and onward. The sharpest decline in a male’s penis’s sensitivity occurs from 65 to 75.

This is why you need to maintain the health of your penis by eating the foods that have been listed above, and using herbal supplements that improve the health of the male organ. By consuming the foods mentioned above, you will not only be able to improve the circulation of blood, maintain a healthy heart, but you will also be able to get the large penis you always wanted!
