Background And Design Components Of Taman Wetland
The Wetland
The Putrajaya constructed wetland system comprises of six arms with 23 cells as described in Figure 1. All the arms (except of Upper Bisa) eventually discharge to the Central Wetland, which make the 24 cells in all, before the water flows down into the Putrajaya Lake. They straddle the water courses of Sungai Chuau, Sungai Bisa and three tributaries. A series of rockfilled weirs was constructed along the six arms of the wetland to divide the 24 cells. Although all the six arms are connected, they differ in size, depths, plant communities and pollutant loads that it is designed to handle.

    In her book The Butterfly Mosque, Willow Wilson aims to convey her own experience of the Muslim culture. Because her family was not religious and she converted to Islam willingly in her adulthood, she is able to present both internal and external sides of this religion. This work is not a propaganda, for Wilson mentions both positive and negative facets of her conversion as she describes her early attempts to harmonize Western and Eastern norms in her personal worldview.…

    After: The concrete channel in the river was replaced by a sediment channel, allowing easy access. It was cut to follow its path prior to channelisation. Whilst cutting the channel old gravels were moved and sufficient space was left along the river corridor to allow for natural adjustment, such as meandering. The margins of the channel were planted using a reputable source of native wetland plants (including iris, water mint and reeds), a wetland grass and wild flower mix was also sown, which gave the river eco system a helping hand. One section downstream has not been planted since there was a request from the local people to allow natural colonisation. Flood storage ponds were included in the scheme and at the upstream section a boardwalk, pond dipping and, educational area, were incorporated to attract local school children.…

However, mangroves are at threat; over 50% of the world’s original mangrove forests have been lost.

    I attended the evening services of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston Mosque on Friday, February 27. As I drove up to the building, I noticed that it was gated and there were quite a few trespassing signs. On one particular gate, I noticed that there was a sign written in Arabic. The parking lot of the building was extremely small as was the building itself. I noticed that within the parking lot there were numerous cabs. The color of the mosque was beige. While the mosque was only a one-story building, it contained five pillars. On each pillar was a moon crescent similar to the moon crescent found on the Pakistani flag. The windows of the building were gated similar to the entrances and the parking lot of the building. There was only one main building where the services were held unlike the layout of other religious sites, such as the Broadway Baptist Church and synagogue I visited, which had separate buildings for religious education. Since the main entrance had a large gate, which was closed, I entered through the side entrance of the building.…

Someone who might’ve read this in 1842, could relate to having to stay away from people and stay indoors due to outbreaks of sickness and plagues. In today’s society we have a cure for nearly every disease. Plagues don’t strike anymore so we cannot determine the severity of the situation as it was back then. Also in the story…

    A Visit to a Mosque

    I have been a member of the Catholic Church my entire life. Although I have often taken time to reflect on my faith, never once have I made an attempt to explore a religion aside from my own. Recently, I stepped outside of my comfort zone and was fortunate enough to visit a mosque. A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam, or one who is Muslim. There are a multitude of services I could have visited to experience a new religion, each with their own identity. The reason I ultimately chose to visit a mosque is because Muslims believe all life begins and ends with God, as do I. However, unlike Catholics, the Islamic religion does not believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, nor that he was crucified on the cross. My goal was to gain a better understanding of the beliefs Catholics and Muslims share, how they differ, and why. The experience was refreshing, and I feel as though I left the mosque with solid answers to my questions, and a new outlook on my own faith.…
