"Drones categorized by inclusive weight, per Drone Rules 2021"

Last update in September 2021, the Drone Rules 2021 introduced by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India categorized drones based on their all-up maximum weight, which includes the weight of the drone itself along with any payload it carries. These weight categories help determine the regulations and requirements applicable to each type of drone.

Here are the general weight categories outlined in the Drone Rules 2021:

1. Nano Drones: Drones with an all-up maximum weight of up to 250 grams(approx).

2. Micro Drones: Drones with an all-up maximum weight of 251 grams to 2 kilograms(approx).

3. Small Drones: Drones with an all-up maximum weight of 2.01 kilograms to 25 kilograms(approx).

4. Medium Drones: Drones with an all-up maximum weight of 25.01 kilograms to 150 kilograms(approx).

5. Large Drones: Drones with an all-up maximum weight of over 150 kilograms(approx).

Each weight category comes with its own set of regulations and requirements in terms of registration, licensing, permissions, and more. For example, commercial operations of drones in the "Micro," "Small," "Medium," and "Large" categories often require Remote Pilot Licenses (RPLs) and specific permissions from the DGCA.

Please note that regulations and classifications might have evolved since the last update in September 2021. It's crucial to consult the most recent version of the Drone Rules and guidelines provided by the DGCA or other official sources to ensure accurate and up-to-date information regarding drone classifications and associated regulations in India.

What the Dantian/Tanden/Center Actually Means

[A Hopefully Short Thumbnail Sketch]

Thousands of years ago, India and China, the two longest-extant agrarian cultures in the world, discovered some supplements to movement that were undoubtedly energy-saving, particularly for doing long hours of repetitive farming work. The Indus Valley Civilization in India was, as far as we can currently determine, quite a bit older than Chinese civilization, so it’s a reasonable assumption that India developed their theory of movement around “prana” earlier than the Chinese development of the same body properties called “qi”. Regardless, the salient point is that “prana” and “qi”, the focus of discussions about the dantian/tanden/center, are based on real and practical considerations about body mechanics.

Many current discussions about qi/prana/ki focus on the underlying ancient theories about how qi/ki/prana worked, but if we circumvent discussions involving exotic energies, etc., we find that qi/ki/prana is strongly based on reality and practicality. The two basic benefits of qi/ki/prana are that it (1.) provides strength that doesn’t rely on muscles and (2.) manipulates force directions “mentally” (as in “Mind-Body”) so that you can focus your forces where you want them and you can “ground” yourself against pushes.

The powers of strength are from the (dermal) qi/ki itself and the powers of force direction (jin/kokyu/aiki/shakti) are subsidiary abilities of the qi/ki itself. So, in actuality, we’re talking about the dermal qi/ki for supplemental power and a byproduct of qi/ki is the force-direction powers. Another perspective might be that you have qi/ki over the surface of the body and one of the powers of the qi/ki is the ability to manipulate forces either from the solidity of the ground or from the weight of the body pulling downward (both are forces of gravity).

The ki/qi can be manipulated as an elastic connection (sort of like a dancer’s leotard) all over the body, by moving the body and by pulling on the ki/qi connection with the dantian/tanden. Moving the body’s ki/qi with the dantian/tanden is where we derive our talks about “center”, “using the dantian”, and so on.

The essential idea of moving the body with qi/ki and the dantian, while simultaneously using jin/kokyu forces is to use the power of the ground and gravity and the strength from the lower body’s powerful muscles, then to transfer that power using jin/kokyu and the pulling connection of the ki/qi to the arms. In other words, the upper body is totally relaxed while we supply it with power from the lower-body and ground. That dantian/tanden is the controlling nexus of pulls of the qi/ki to the limbs and the controlling nexus of the skeletal structure. All of the so-called “internal martial arts” (the “neijia” arts, in Chinese) have the body controlled by the dantian/tanden.

A person with proper traditional skills of qi/ki and jin/kokyu will have a powerfully developed dantian/tanden. Many of the old pictures of gods, kami, warriors, etc., will show them with a powerfully developed dantian/tanden.

Manipulating force directions mentally is fairly easy to learn. Conditioning and training the body movements with the qi/ki takes much longer to do. Many traditional Asian arts have developed their own approaches to qi/ki development and the jealously guard those training techniques. The power of our jin/kokyu forces increases with proper qi/ki training and supplemental mental practice, so the optimal approach is one that produces strong qi/ki controlled by the tanden, in addition to strong jin/kokyu forces.

It’s worth noting that developing your qi/ki and also your jin/kokyu are essentially skills that increase your strength and power. They are called “internal strength”. Would those skills make your practice of martial arts invincible? No. There is an old saying to the effect that “martial arts without internal strength is not correct; internal strength without proper martial training is not correct, either”.

The current landscape of hyper-local urban farming across Asia

Globally, urban farming is evolving as cities seek innovative solutions to sustainably feed their growing urban populations. Techniques like vertical farming and hydroponics are at the forefront, allowing crops to be grown in layered setups or water-based environments, minimizing land use, and reducing water consumption.  

Urban farming in Asia presents a rich tapestry of approaches, each shaped by the unique challenges and priorities of the region’s diverse cultures and economies. The rapid urbanization and dense population clusters in Asia make urban agriculture not just a choice but a necessity, driving innovation and adaptation in several key areas. 

China 

China has become a leader in urban agriculture through heavy investment in technology and substantial government support. Initiatives like the Nanjing Green Towers, which incorporate plant life into skyscraper designs, exemplify how urban farming can be integrated into the urban landscape.  

The government has also implemented policies that encourage the development of urban farming, providing subsidies for technology such as hydroponics and aquaponics, which are vital in areas with contaminated soil or water scarcity. 

Japan 

With its limited arable land, Japan has turned to creative solutions to maximize space, such as rooftop gardens and sophisticated indoor farming facilities.  

One notable example is the Pasona Urban Farm, an office building in Tokyo where employees cultivate over 200 species of fruits, vegetables, and rice used in the building’s cafeterias.  

This not only maximizes limited space but also reduces employee stress and improves air quality. 

Singapore 

Singapore’s approach is highly strategic, with urban farming a crucial component of its national food security strategy. The city-state, known for its limited space, has developed cutting-edge vertical farming methods that are now being adopted globally.  

The government supports these innovations through grants and incentives, which has led to the success of vertical farms. These farms use tiered systems to grow vegetables close to residential areas, drastically reducing the need for food transportation and thereby lowering carbon emissions. 

India 

In contrast to the technology-driven approaches seen in other parts of Asia, India’s urban farming is largely community-driven and focuses on achieving food self-sufficiency.  

Projects like the Mumbai Port Trust Garden take unused urban spaces and convert them into flourishing community gardens. These projects are often supported by non-governmental organizations and focus on employing women, thus providing both social and economic benefits. 

Thailand 

Thailand’s urban farming initiatives often blend traditional agricultural practices with modern techniques to enhance food security in urban areas. In Bangkok, projects like the Chao Phraya Sky Park demonstrate how public spaces can be transformed into productive green areas that encourage community farming. These initiatives are supported by both local municipalities and private sectors, which see urban farming as a way to reduce food import dependency and improve urban ecological balance. 

The Philippines 

In the Philippines, urban farming is an adaptive response to urban poverty and food insecurity. Metro Manila hosts numerous community garden projects that are often grassroots-driven, with local government units providing support through land and resources. These gardens supply food and serve as educational platforms to teach urban residents about sustainable practices and nutritional awareness.

National Farmers Day

What is Farmers Day?

Farmers Day is celebrated every year on October 12! The profession of farming began around 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock as hunter/gatherers settled down and started to plant their own food. In short, farming is one of the oldest jobs around. So let‘s take a moment to give some love to all the farmers who work tirelessly to feed us year round.

When is Farmers Day 2022?

Farmers Day in the U.S is observed on October 12 every year. Other countries celebrate the holiday on different days, with India and Pakistan holding large celebrations in December.

History of Farmers Day

Agriculture is one of the world’s oldest and vital professions. Farmers have remained one of the highest contributors to economic growth while consistently feeding the people who rely on their goods. Originally referred to as Old Farmer’s Day, National Farmers Day was cultivated to celebrate the hard work farmers put into growing their crops. The date of October 12 came about as it lands at the end of the traditional harvesting period, allowing farmers to participate in festivities, which can sometimes last the entirety of the month. Additionally, every three years, the Harvest Moon will fall in early October, preceding and leading up to National Farmer’s Day on the 12th.

In fact, in Loranger, Louisiana, there’s an Old Farmer’s Day Festival which celebrates and showcases the traditions and methodologies of farming before it became the modernized and scientific venture it is today. Usually, in states in the northern US, the first frost would occur in the beginning of October, if not the middle, requiring many farmers to harvest their crops beforehand to prepare for the winter. Now, because of scientific developments in farming techniques, the traditional growing period can be prolonged to increase yield and profit, part of the reasoning why National Farmer’s Day tend to extend its celebrations in rural areas to National Farmer’s Month.
