CAD Design and Drafting Services for Improved Structural Engineering Designs
Structural designs or drawings are developed cautiously by experienced structural engineers and draftsmen with properly analyzing various technical aspects and requirements. These diagrams later on followed for creating the real structure of a building, bridge or any other construction project. In earlier structural design and drafting was done manually with hand drawings, but now days with the invention of computer aided design (CAD) softwares, the designing works has became easier and quicker. CAD Design and Drafting services has improved structural engineering designs by adding latest user friendly features by the softwares. Models of structures, drawings and drafting can be easily manipulated by using structural CAD design and drafting services which takes long time by doing manually. So it saves the precious time as well as money and makes possible for structural engineers to develop structural design of complex projects easily. Structural CAD Services are widely used in the different disciples of engineering and technology for making different type of digital structures. It also provides better options for proposed building structure and imaging the view. Value of structural can be improved by using structural CAD services. Structural engineers use CAD services for 2D drafting, 3D modeling, steel detailing, shop drawings, construction documentation, fabrication drawings and structural analysis. The entire process of digital designing can also be done according to the requirement with in fraction of times using latest and sophisticated CAD softwares like AutoCAD, Revit, StruCADD and many more.
Improved Cooking Stoves in Nepal
Improved cook stove (ICS) is a device that is designed to consume less fuel and save cooking time, convenient in cooking process and creates smokeless environment in the kitchen or reduction in the volume of smoke produced during cooking against the traditional stove.
The direct and indirect benefits of ICS includes: increased thermal efficiency, the conservation of forests by cutback in firewood consumption, reduction in women’s labour, reduction in indoor air pollution and hence smoke-released health disorders, prevention of fire hazards, reduction of cooking time.
History of ICS in Nepal
Improved cooking stoves (ICS) programs started in early 1950s in Nepal. At that time "Hydarabad and Magan stoves" (an Indian model of ICS) were implemented as part of Village Development Services of the " Tribhuvan Village Development Program”. That program was ended in the early 1960s. After that a number of organizations such as UNICEF, Peace Corps etc. have integrated ICS dissemination in their other development activities during 1970s.
In 1980s the National Planning Commission included ICS in a Plan document in attempt to address the pressing fuelwood problem. In 1981 [[Community Forest Development Project]] (CFDP) developed prefabricated ceramic ICS. In 1982, prefabricated ceramic stoves were tested, and after some modification, RECAST developed Ceramics Insert Stoves.
During 1985 Small Farmer Development Project (SFDP) of Agriculture Development Bank (ADB/N) distributed Ceramic Insert Stoves. Other major organizations and projects which took up further ICS dissemination efforts include United Mission to Nepal (UMN), [[Terai Community Forestry Development Project]] (TCFDP), Nepal-Australian Forestry Project, [[Resource Conservation and Utilization Project]] (RCUP), CARE/Nepal etc.
RECAST developed a new model of a stove known as "Improved Tamang Stove". They tried to make the stove with cheap readily available local materials. Since early 1990s, new initiatives from various NGOs, INGOs and GOs, for ICS dissemination have been underway.
Most of the organizations working on ICS programs concentrate on Midhill and Terai regions, and they are mainly working on Mud Stoves. Very few of them are involved in high altitude places, and very few work on metal stoves. Cost is the factor making it difficult to work on metal stoves.

Improved stoves and household energy
Typical improved biomass stoves now available in poor communities thanks to Practical Action energy initiatives include:
Mud stoves such as the Lorena or Magan Chulha.
Ceramic stoves such as the Upesi or Anagi.
Metal stoves such as the Kenya Ceramic Jiko (KCJ).
In Sri Lanka and Kenya the introduction of improved stoves has been a great success.
Since 1991 about half a million 'Anagi' stoves have been produced and sold in Sri Lanka and more than 400 potters and installers trained in their construction and installation. It is estimated that future production will reach around 120,000 per year.
In Kenya Practical Action has been working closely with women's groups to produce, promote and install the 'Upesi' improved cooking stove. At present thirteen women's groups (approx. 200 people) in western Kenya make and sell around 11,000 Upesi stoves a year. As a result of their labours the women have gained status, self-confidence and financial independence.
In Bangladesh Practical Action is running training courses to show people how to build improved energy efficient stoves using local materials. These stoves consume less than half the fuel compared to a traditional open fire. A key element of the programme is to show people how to set up a micro enterprise to make stoves for others in the community, and thus ensure that more stoves are built after the training courses have finished. Our partner in this work is Climate Care.
In Sudan, improved stoves were originally developed at Wau Nour, a camp for displaced and marginalised people, on the outskirts of Kassala, Sudan, as part of a project to reduce indoor air pollution due to cooking. These stoves are now being used in camps in Darfur, where their efficiency reduces the amount of firewood needed, which in turn reduces women's vulnerability when collecting fuel.

What are the Worst and Best of Canoe Camping?
Have you ever experienced a canoe trip that did not have its ups and downs? That is part of the challenge and the design of canoeing in the wilderness. Overlook the tough times and appreciate the opportune times. There is nothing like canoeing in the back country with the quiet, peaceful backdrop of the northern pines and the canoes ripple effects on the lake.
The worst part of canoe camping all depends on ones position and how to deal with the circumstances at hand. These might be some examples that you may encounter; daily rains and no chance to dry out, not being able to find the exact portage, getting lost and back tracking to get your bearings, windy days making it difficult to paddle, pesky mosquitoes and black flies, or maybe the unrelenting black bear in camp.
Yes, these are some tough challenges but rest assured they are part of the whole image and understanding of canoeing in the wilderness. Tackle each situation head on that comes your way. Therefore, providing the necessary survival skills required in everyday life.
Then what are the best of canoe camping? First, tantalizing smells of cooking over a portable stove, the mystifying call of a nearby loon, or the spectacular sunsets and sunrises. Next, the morning dew upon the tent, the lurking fog on the lake as you break camp, a moose and calf arrive at waters edge. How about the mysterious Native American pictographs telling stories of long ago, the busy beaver building a new home, or fast running water heard from a portage walking to the next lake. One of the top experiences, in my mind, is the incredible night skies of northern lights and star gazing.
