5911. Urban development: Brownfield and greenfield sites.

A downside of urban development is that it can lead to gentrification and the dispacement of existing residents and businesses, esp. in low-income areas.
 

1. Gentrification is the transformation of a neighborhood from low value to high value. It is viewed as a process of urban development in which a neighborhood or portion of a city develops rapidly in a short period of time, often as a result of urban renewal programs, including real estate investment.

2. It is important to preserve heritage and nature. The URA will redevelop brownfield sites and "try to delay or slow down the need to open up "greenfied sites".



2.1. Brownfield sites are land plots with previous development on them.

2.2. Greenfield sites are places that have not been previously built on.

5910. PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Take photo from a distance, then crop to get close-up of skytrain. Manual mode, tripod

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Take photo from a distance, then CROP to get close-up of skytrain. Manual mode, tripod

5907. VET CASE STUDY: Chest X-rays of coughing inappetant lethargic old dog. 17-year-old male Shih Tzu

Will an x-ray show lung cancer in a dog?

Common symptoms include difficulty breathing, exercise intolerance, or non-productive cough. However, some dogs only experience weight loss (despite a good appetite) and/or lack of energy. Other dogs have no symptoms at all. Diagnosis of lung cancer usually starts with a chest X-ray.

 Can you see tumors on X-rays?

The soft tissues in the body (like blood, skin, fat, and muscle) allow most of the X-ray to pass through and appear dark gray on the film. A bone or a tumor, which is denser than soft tissue, allows few of the X-rays to pass through and appears white on the X-ray.

 

What is the most common lung tumor in dogs?

Bronchogenic adenocarcinoma is the most common primary lung tumor, making up 75% of cases. Dogs can also develop squamous cell carcinoma or sarcomas in their lungs as well. As primary lung tumors are typically slow growing, they can become quite large before they are finally diagnosed.

X-rays of the lungs from an infected dog will usually reveal white spots in the lung fields which are consistent with lung fluke cysts. X-rays are also useful to determine how many cysts are present and where they are located. On occasion, an asymptomatic dog will be diagnosed when X-rays are taken for other reasons.

 PHOTOGRAPHY OF A SUPERTREE. Tripod, Manual mode and sunshine.

 9 Jun 2024. The Supertree at Gardens by the Bay is a vertical garden and a popular tourist attraction.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS:

I share some tips for viewers.

To take a good photo, use a tripod, manual mode and bright sunshine e.g. at 6 pm on 9 Jun 2024. Include some people in to show size and height of the tree.

It will be very difficult to get a sharp image without a tripod.

5905: PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: The National Mosque of Malaysia

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: The National Mosque of Malaysia

 

5 Jun 2024.

The National Mosque of Malaysia (Malay: Masjid Negara Malaysia), built in 1965, accommodates up to 15,000 worshippers. It has a 73-meter-high minaret and a 16-pointed star dome representing 5 pillars of Islam and the 11 states of then Malaya.

ITS UNIQUE DESIGN:
It is beautifully designed - in particular, the "semi-folded" umbrella roof structure and "folded umbrella" of the minaret.

I did not have time to visit this mosque. I attach a photo for viewer's appreciation. This photo was taken from the 15th floor of The Majestic Hotel.

GOOGLE REVIEW. 5 STARS. 

On Jun 4, 2024, I was given a 5th floor room which faced a building. I requested for a change of room to the 15th floor as I wanted to take photos of the Merdeka 118 Tower or city views.

The male receptionist told me that the hotel was full, but he would write a note to let his colleagues reserve a 14th floor room on Jun 5.

I went to the reception on Jun 5 at around 4pm. I was given Room 15-20 which showed an excellent view of the Merdeka 118 Tower and the Railway Station.

On Jun 4, 2024, I had a late dinner at the Colonial Cafe. There was a singer and pianist. The Hainan Lamb Shrank was very tasty. The services were impeccable. Thank you to the staff.  Keep up the good services.

I share a photo taken from Room 15-20.

 REVIEW 1. 25 Feb 2024.

 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Merdeka 118. A friend used his iPhone on 25 Feb 2024.

Hundreds of photos of Merdeka 118 in the internet sites, but most are average.

I share somebody's interesting photo of Merdeka 118 building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, taken from another hotel at around 8am. The photo from iPhone 15 Max is interesting as it has clouds and golden streak in the sky directing the viewer towards the 118-storey skyscraper. I rate his photo as 5-stars.

Capturing such a photo depends on luck and your initiative as timing is very important. If you wait till you have breakfast, you will miss the opportunity to create this beautiful visual with your smartphone.

In photography, as in real life, the window of opportunity will open briefly and it is up to you to be aware of the moment which may never repeat itself.

GOOGLE REVIEW. 5 STARS

On 5 - 6 June 2024, I attended the Xpert Symposium for 400 vets at Hotel Majestic, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The organiser from Rhone Ma and sponsor Boehringer Ingelheim were very efficient and helpful.

I found the hotel's ballroom which can accommodate 1000 people was comfortable for 400 vets to continue professional education, network and make friends.

A photo is attached for the organiser. Keep up good work.
