Construction Glass Industry Is Dominated by the Asia-Pacific Region

The construction glass market was valued at $93.96 billion in 2021, and it is set to reach $161.46 billion by 2030, growing at a growth rate of 6.20% between 2021 and 2030, according to a research report by a market research company P&S Intelligence.

In 2021, the special category had the larger share. This can be credited to the rising application of flat glass in the residential and commercial sectors because of its natural insulation and safety from UV rays.

The most used type of flat glass is float glass, which has now substituted conventional materials in several applications, including mirror glass, home and office doors, and glass partitions between the teller counters at banks.

This glass has numerous applications, from soundproofing to heat insulation and from solar protection to safety applications, which indeed is growing the demand for the same.

On the basis of applications, the commercial category held the larger share of the construction glass market in the past few years and is projected to continue its dominance in the years to come. Designers and architects are increasingly using this glass in skyscrapers because of its improved versatility and adaptability.

In 2021, APAC held a larger revenue share of approximately 40%, and this region is projected to continue its dominance in the coming years in the construction glass industry. The significant industrialization, along with booming construction activities in China and India, and the increasing ecological material demand are the major drivers to the industry growth.

Furthermore, businesses are focusing more on adopting a variety of strategies to gain a lead. For example, Saint-Gobain a France-based manufacturer spent $67.5 million in March 2022, to start a new float glass facility and combined window line at its World Glass Campus in Chennai, India.

Additionally, the existence of numerous manufacturers in the U.S. and many European countries, such as Germany and France, and the growing construction activities are set to contribute to the growth of the construction glass industry in these countries.

Therefore, economic growth in different nations, escalating count of government-led infrastructure projects, and increasing demand for housing because of rapid urbanization will contribute to the increasing demand for construction glass in the years to come, all over the world.

ABORTION

- killing innocent souls through drugs, contraceptive and etc-

Exodus 20:13. Thou shall not kill....

Family Planning also a form of abortion -

▪️Abortion definition

It is also the expulsion of the fetus from the womb during the first 28 wesks of pregnancy.

It can also be defined as killing and explusion of the fetus from the womb because it is not wanted.

As far as God is concerned, using contraceptive method to stop pregnancy is another method of Killing.

▪️TYPES OF ABORTION

1. Spontaneous Abortion

2. Induced Abortion

Spontaneous Abortion also known as Miscarriage

This type of abortion is not induced or caused by any external influence.

Miscarriage are classified into three types

1. Threatened Abortion

2. Inevitable Abortion

3. Missed Abortion

Indued Abortion - This abortion is Influenced externally to ensure expulsion of the fetus.

1. Therapeutic Abortion

2. Criminal Abortion.

Therapeutic Abortion is carried out by qualified medical practitioners as treatment in the interest of the of the mothers life. A medical doctor may recommend an abortion if the pregnant woman is suffering a life threatening condition.

Criminal Abortion - Just as the Name implies: is an illegal abortion. This is a type of abortion that is carried out because of ungodly reasons.

The Word of God says in *Exodus 20:13 - Thou shall not kill*

Criminal Abortion is killing. It is murdering of innocent souls

Rev.21.8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and MURDERERS, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Criminal Abortion is influenced by the works of the flesh. Galatians 5:19-21. The spirit of the will never support such abortion. In many countries this abortion has been legalized. This cannot change the word of God and His standards against killing and shedding of innocent Blood.

▪️Resons for Criminal Abortion

1. Unwanted Pregnancy. Abortion because the pregnancy is not wanted. This is common among

a Couples who do not want more children or pregnancy that occure at a time they do not want it.

b Teenagers (Teenage Pregnancy)

c Pregnancy outside wedlock - This may be as a result of rape, adultery or fornication.

▪️Ways of expelling foetus through Criminal Abortion

1. D and C - This may be done by unqualified professionals or quacks,

2. Use of locally made Concoction :-

a Lime juice with potash

b Blue mixed with probably alum

3.Drugs :-

a B Codeine

b Menstrogen

c Pitocin either in injection or tablet form

NOTE - Many people have died while using these methods to commit criminal abortion, and are now in Hell.

▪️Prevention of Criminal Abortion

1. The word of God must be properly taught in the church so that every Christian will know, God is against any form of killing

2. Christian couples must be ready to obey God and avoid killing even if the pregnancy is not wanted

3. Teenagers must be taught what the result of premarital sex will be

4. Christian parents of teenagers must ensure their children are properly trained in the way of the Lord.

▪️Eternal Consequence of Abortion

The wages of Sin is Death - Romans 6:23a

Anyone who dies without sincere repentance of his/her sin will end up in hell.

⭐If you have committed abortion and you have not seen it as a sin you need to repent from, you have been informed now that God sees you as a murderer, therefore confess to God, ask for forgiveness and mercy, and cleansing by the Blood of Jesus. If you fail to acknowledge this sin, you are toying with hell fire.

⭐Any man that has encouraged any woman to abort or paid for abortion is equally guilty. You should also repent and ask for forgiveness.

⭐Health workers who are involved in criminal abortion are also guilty. Please repent ask for forgiveness and forsake this practice.

God in His Mercy has not left us in the dark concerning the consequences of killing in His word.

▪️Other methods of Killing as Revealed through Gods Prophet from the Bible.

1 - Contraception

Use of Contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy is another method of killing. Example - Condoms, pills, intrauterine devices, etc (Roman's 1:30- 32- inventors of evil things - are all worthy of death).

2 - Withdrawal Method.

Men are not permitted to ejaculate outside their women. Gen 38:9-10. God slew Onam because he spilled it outside the ground

Anything that has assurance to possible fail is not God method.

▪️Gods Method of Family Planning.

Christian couples are to talk to God on when they want to have children. If you truly believe God made your bodies and He dictates what happen there, you will have faith in Him that it will be according to your request concerning family planning.

Couples must meet Gods conditions so that God will answer their prayers on spacing their children without Contraception

➖Christians couples must be faithful to God and to themselves.

➖Marital bed must not be defiled (Hebrews 13:5)

➖They must live in Holiness and Righteousness

➖They must have faith in God (Hebrews 11:6)

➖Couple must be in agreement with themselves on their request (Matthew 18:19)

If God says He will do it there should be no fear of unwanted pregnancy. Have faith in Him.

This is an opportunity for those who have not confessed the sin of abortion, use of contraceptive methods or withdrawal methods, to do so now, forsake these sins and which i was once there and God has forgiven me and discourage others from commiting them.

Hell is too Hot. Repent now and be save. God bless us all.

Know all the ingredients used in Cement Mixtures

Cement is the end-product of a combination of 8 main ingredients that go through the cement production process. These main ingredients are in general extracted from the materials limestone, clay, chalk, sand, marl, shale, bauxite, and iron ore. It is one of the main ingredients in the concrete mix used for construction. SD Conmix provides ready-mix-concrete of premium quality.

A brief discussion about the contribution of different ingredients in cement is mentioned below:

Lime:

Lime constitutes about 60–65 % of cement which in turn contributes to the strength. It is highly imperative and proper care to be taken with respect to the right proportion to make the cement sound and strong. An additional quantity of lime could result in unsound cement and lead to the expansion and disintegration of the cement. Also, the use of deficient lime results in decreased strength of the cement and it will set quickly.

Silica:

About 17% — 25 % of cement consists of Silica which again is a contributing factor towards the strength of the cement because of the dicalcium and tricalcium silicates formation. If silica is present in excess quantity, although it increases the cement strength but would also result in prolonged setting time of cement.

Alumina

Cement contains about 3.5 % — 9% of Alumina and it is this product that imparts the quality of quick-setting to the cement. However, if there is an excess amount of alumina present in the cement it causes a reduction of strength.

Iron Oxide

About 0.5% — 6.0 % of iron oxide is present in the cement. In addition to strength to the cement iron oxide also provides colour and hardness to the cement.

Magnesium Oxide

It is important to add the correct proportion which is about 0.5 % — 4.0 %. of magnesium oxide that imparts colour and hardness to the cement. Again, the presence of surplus quantity will affect the soundness of cement which refers to the stability of the volume change involved during the process of setting and hardening.

Sulphur Trioxide

A small quantity of about 1 % — 2.0 % of Sulphur Trioxide is present in the cement which also helps to make the cement sound. Excessive sulphur trioxide results in the cement becoming unsound.

Alkalis

Only small quantities of Alkalis such as 0.4% — 1.3 %. of soda or potash should be present in the cement. Excess quantity of Alkalis leads to efflorescence and straining when they are used in concrete or mortar.

Top 10 Requirements to be focussed on to ensure good quality cement:

Cement should possess a uniform colour.

Cement has to be free from lumps.

Cement should have regular level and smooth finish such that it has to gel well and sink in completely when it is mixed with water.

The total ratio in the percentage of alumina with iron oxide is not less than 0.66% of cement. The total percentage of sulphur content in cement should not be greater than 2.75%. The Magnesia content should not exceed 5% in weight.

Insoluble residue in cement should not exceed 1.5% by weight.

The cement should not lose its weight by more than 4% when heated.

The initial setting time of cement should ideally be about 30 minutes.

The final setting time should generally be about 10 hours.

SD Conmix is known for providing the best-quality Ready mix concrete in Bangalore.

However, if there is an excess amount of alumina present in the cement it causes a reduction of strength. Iron Oxide About 0.5% – 6.0 % of iron oxide is present in the cement. In addition to strength to the cement iron oxide also provides colour and hardness to the cement. Magnesium Oxide It is important to add the correct proportion which is about 0.5 % – 4.0 %. of magnesium oxide that imparts colour and hardness to the cement. Again, the presence of surplus quantity will affect the soundness of cement which refers to the stability of the volume change involved during the process of setting and hardening. Sulphur Trioxide A small quantity of about 1 % – 2.0 % of Sulphur Trioxide is present in the cement which also helps to make the cement sound. Excessive sulphur trioxide results in the cement becoming unsound. Alkalis Only small quantities of Alkalis such as 0.4% – 1.3 %. of soda or potash should be present in the cement. Excess quantity of Alkalis leads to efflorescence and straining when they are used in concrete or mortar. Top 10 Requirements to be focussed on to ensure good quality cement: Cement should possess a uniform colour. Cement has to be free from lumps. Cement should have regular level and smooth finish such that it has to gel well and sink in completely when it is mixed with water. The total ratio in the percentage of alumina with iron oxide is not less than 0.66% of cement. The total percentage of sulphur content in cement should not be greater than 2.75%. The Magnesia content should not exceed 5% in weight. Insoluble residue in cement should not exceed 1.5% by weight. The cement should not lose its weight by more than 4% when heated. The initial setting time of cement should ideally be about 30 minutes. The final setting time should generally be about 10 hours.

Know all the ingredients used in Cement Mixtures

Cement is the end-product of a combination of 8 main ingredients that go through the cement production process. These main ingredients are in general extracted from the materials limestone, clay, chalk, sand, marl, shale, bauxite, and iron ore. It is one of the main ingredients in the concrete mix used for construction. SD Conmix provides ready-mix-concrete of premium quality. A brief discussion about the contribution of different ingredients in cement is mentioned below: Lime: Lime constitutes about 60 – 65 % of cement which in turn contributes to the strength. It is highly imperative and proper care to be taken with respect to the right proportion to make the cement sound and strong. An additional quantity of lime could result in unsound cement and lead to the expansion and disintegration of the cement. Also, the use of deficient lime results in decreased strength of the cement and it will set quickly. Silica: About 17% – 25 % of cement consists of Silica which again is a contributing factor towards the strength of the cement because of the dicalcium and tricalcium silicates formation. If silica is present in excess quantity, although it increases the cement strength but would also result in prolonged setting time of cement. Alumina Cement contains about 3.5 % – 9% of Alumina and it is this product that imparts the quality of quick-setting to the cement.
