Samoa’s Parliamentary system and the P.M.
Re: Samoa election process, the P.M. and his “facelift” developments
Keith, please look up how parliamentary systems work and then continue to refer to that to avoid any future doubt.
If there is nobody else to stand against him in his electorate, he is automatically voted in unopposed.
The United Kingdom has a Prime Minister who has not been elected in a general election. New Zealand is about to have a new Prime Minister without voting for him.
In a parliamentary system, the people vote for their local MP who is aligned with a particular party. The reason is because they want that party to form the government and for that government to choose the Prime Minister.
Samoa already knew who the PM was going to be if they chose the HRPP to form the government. If they did not want Stui to be the PM, they would’ve voted for the Tautua party to put Palu in as PM.

“Electronic soul from the heart”; so goes the self-penned description of Stubborn Heart, an electronic duo who’ve drawn comparisons to James Blake, Mount Kimbie and The XX.
Accepting that the duo does indeed follow in this ‘future-garage/dubstep’ lineage is an apt way of trying to understand the band, but the points at which differ from their contemporaries draw the most interest.
The vocals, which sound liker a cleaner and sharper Anthony Hegarty, add to the atmospherics where the music, at times, fails in innovation. There is a greater emphasis on lyricism with incantatory repetitions of key lines for emphasis. Recent single ‘Need Someone’ opens with a sparse beat which ushers in a contemplative vocal line which settles broodingly on the thought “I need someone to love”.
The almost minimalist instrumentation on tracks like album opener ‘Penetrate’ draw attention to the “soul” rather than the “electronics”; this is a band who favours heart-ache over the head-nod.

Police officers across the country play a leadership role in organizing the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer events by involving the community in fundraising and cancer awareness activities such as head shaves. Since 1997, the program has raised over $48 million to fund life-saving pediatric cancer research and support programs to raise funds to support our youngest Canadians through their cancer journey. Event participants create fundraisers of their choice while collecting pledges from their co-workers, friends, family and community members.
Why? Because the impact of cancer on the life of a child and their family is devastating. Donations made to the Canadian Cancer Society through Cops for Cancer Fundraisers are used to fund life-saving research and caring support programs for children and their families to reduce its impact.Learn more

Redline Wins Audience Award at LA Animation Fest
posted on by Gia Manry
On December 5, Takeshi Koike's animated film Redline won the Best Feature audience award at the second annual Los Angeles Animation Festival. As a winner of the event, the film re-screened as part of the festival's International Winners Show on December 6. "7th," the animated short by ANN contributor Sara Pocock, won the jury award in the "Unfinished Masterpiece" category.
Koike (The Animatrix short World Record, Iron Man pilot) directed Redline at the Studio Madhouse. The story revolves around characters participating in a racing event which takes place every five years. Manga Entertainment acquired Redline for North American release. It has also been screened in Austin, San Francisco, Minneapolis, and Honolulu.
In a separate development, Production I.G announced that its Oblivion Island: Haruka and the Magic Mirror film won the Jury's First Mention at the fourth annual Expotoons International Animation Festival. The festival was held in Argentina from November 30 to December 2. The anime was awarded under the feature films category where Garri Bardin's Ugly Duckling from Russia won first place. The festival also hosted Oblivion Island's premiere in Latin America.

This section is dedicated to take away all your "I wish someone had told me that before I went!" experiences. This way, you can spend less time settling in, and more time making new friends in your chosen hostel. We share our insider knowledge of tips, tricks and important things to look out for in Liberia.
Despite being one of the largest city centers in Costa Rica, Liberia is not overly large as a town. It still has all of the major amenities that you will need during your stay here and Liberia hostels are close to the supermarkets, bus stations, and cash machines. While the overall vibe here is pretty relaxed and there generally aren't many people found wandering around the streets, you will find that Liberia has a good network of public transport to get to other regions of Costa Rica and is surrounded by beautiful national park areas that you can explore. Ask at your hostel in Liberia and they should be able to give you information on the national parks in the area and getting to and from them. There is a tourist information office, but it is quite small and difficult to find.
Of the national parks within the area, the closest and easiest to get to is the Rincon de la Viejo National Park, which contains a lot of diverse natural features such as hot springs and bubbling mud pools to explore, a volcano, and some magnificent waterfalls for swimming. The biodiversity is huge and you will find much to do here.
You can also opt for day trips to the beach to Playa del Coco or any of the other beaches along the Papagayo Peninsula. You can either take public transport to these places or catch a shuttle (some Liberia hostels offer these services).

DEAR STACY: Avan Jogia in "Twisted" is hot! Where is he from? What's his background? — Cori H., Clinton, Iowa
DEAR CORI: The 21-year-old actor, of Indian, Irish and Welsh descent, hails from Vancouver, British Columbia. Before his new Family Channel show, he was best known for costarring as Beck in "Victorious!" on Nickelodeon. Other credits include playing the younger brother of a transsexual in the TV movie, "A Girl Like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story." Jogia is reportedly pals with Josh Hutcherson and Victoria Justice, and was caught out on the town with Miley Cyrus a time or two a couple years back

Now 29, she has done various musical theater shows and TV parts in recent years. This month, she was among the actors doing readings in New York for "Scary Musical...

DEAR STACY: Please give some information about Sandra Lee, who is on the Food Network. Did she go to cooking school? Does she have a family? — C.W., Albuquerque, N.M.
DEAR C.W.: Lee, 46, is also known as the significant other of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, with whom she shares a home in Westchester, N.Y. She was born in Los Angeles and raised in Washington state and Wisconsin. After her parents split, her mother was often bedridden. Sandra, in her "Made From Scratch" autobiography, disclosed that her mom was addicted to prescription painkillers and was physically abusive — and that she became a surrogate mom to her four younger siblings, relying on food stamps and welfare to get by. She studied marketing at the University of Wisconsin, and proved her talent for business and clever corner cutting right away with a wire-rigging contraption she built that allowed users to create window treatments without any sewing. Her Kurtain Kraft device became a huge hit at the L.A. County Fair, led to her patented home decorating kit and do-it-yourself product line, and by her mid-twenties the former waitress had a $20 million business. Lee, also the author of best-selling cookbooks and decorating books, moved to Manhattan after 20 years in L.A., following her split from her husband, former KB Home chieftain Bruce Karatz. Active in several charities, she doesn't have children but is said to spend a lot of time with Cuomo's three teenage daughters. She took a course at Le Cordon Bleu — but didn't finish it.

The Lilongwe district health office has dismissed myths surrounding the use of mosquito nets.
Its spokesperson Richard Mvula disclosed this in an interview with Timveni after observing that many households shun mosquito nets.
According to Mvula, "malaria remains a deadly disease" hence the need for mindset change to combat it.
Malaria is endemic throughout Malawi and continues to be a major public health problem with an estimated 4 million cases occurring each year.
The development has largely been attributed to low use of treated mosquito nets among the general population.
"Some misplaced beliefs are contributing to mosquito net resistance," said Mvula.
About 7.4% of all malaria cases in eastern and southern Africa occur in Malawi which is also among the top 15 countries with a high malaria burden.
"There is need for more nationwide awareness campaigns to promote importance of sleeping in treated mosquito nets and the dangers of malaria," expplained Mvula.
Pregnant women and under 5 children are at a high risk for malaria morbidity compared to other groups.
Malaria is also among the list of top 10 diseases that cause death in Malawi.

Lightly steamed brussels sprouts, sliced and tossed with a simple maple mustard dressing, then topped with toasted chopped pecans. This sweet and tangy brussels sprouts salad makes a perfect side dish for a winter supper and was a great way to use up the bag of brussels sprouts lingering in the vegetable bin.
I’ve been making a concerted effort not to let food go to waste. It’s a great money saving measure that causes me to be more creative in the kitchen, so it’s a win-win.
I usually roast brussels sprouts but was looking for something different that I could make with ingredients I already had on hand. From 5 Easy Steps to Healthy Cooking: 500 Recipes for Lifelong Wellness, by Camilla Saulsbury, one of my favorite cookbook authors, this simple brussels sprouts salad with maple mustard dressing, was a hit when I made it for dinner Wednesday night.
- 1-1/2 pounds brussels sprouts trimmed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard regular Dijon will work
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
Place the brussels sprouts in a steamer basket set over a large pot of boiling water. Cover and steam, until crisp-temder but still bright green, about 5 minutes. Place the brussels sprouts in a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking so they maintain their pretty green color. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, thinly slice the brussels sprouts lengthwise. Place the slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and gently toss to coat them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until chilled, or for up to 2 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with the toasted pecans.

I already wrote a post somewhat related to my 2014 for New Years (read here), but I felt like writing another. This post is also second one in my Original & Covers series.
The song of this post is called CAT'S EYE or キャッツ・アイ in Japanese.
And if you wonder how does this relate to my year of 2014: one of these versions is in my top3 of most listened songs in 2014 (I have no idea which song is the most listened).
by Japanese singer ANRI (杏里). The original version of this song was released in 1983. It was the theme song of Japanese anime series (which originally was also a manga series) of the same name (stylized as CAT'S♥EYE in English). I haven't seen the anime or read the manga, but the storyline sounds quite interesting, so maybe one day I'll check it out.
But the song I love. This original version especially has an "anime sound" to it. Especially in the chorus: it is fast paced and catchy. I like the music, but even more I like the way ANRI sings: her voice is fairly steady and easy-going with a nice shade to it. The music and ANRI's voice make an interesting combination, that's easy to listen to, but still highly catchy.
THE COVER #1
Cover version by a Japanese girl group called MAX. This group has been highly successful since their debut in 1990s and is the second highest selling female group in Japan (according to Wikipedia). MAX's style differs from the usual Japanese girl group style by being more adult, especially now when the members are already quite bit older than most members in popular Japanese girl groups. You can notice this in their music video for CAT'S EYE, which is far from the usual cute and girly style.
Their version of the song was released in 2010 as a lead single from their album which included covers of (quote from Wikipedia) "80s and 90s classics and anime songs". Wikipedia also states that the cover is in eurobeat genre. There is almost 30 years in between the release dates of this and the original.
MAX's versions does sound quite similar to ANRI's version, but more modern and more dance/disco style (eurobeat, I suppose). I already liked the original version, but with the changes they have made in this version, I absolutely love this song. This type of music is so much my style. And I also love how MAX's members' voices fit into this song. They add a lot of edge into it. Compared to the original, this version is heavier and rougher, which fits perfectly.
I mentioned that one of these versions was within my most listened songs in 2014; This was it. This song is also amongst my ultimate favourite Japanese songs. I honestly can listen to it multiple times in a row without getting a bit bored. I simply love it.
THE COVER #2
The second cover is by a special group formed from the members of Japanese girl groups Berryz工房 (Berryz Kobo) and ℃-ute. (I write the next out of memory, so my apologies if I remember incorrectly) These members performed in a theater version of the CAT'S EYE anime/manga. This song was released to promote this theater show. It was released in 2012.
This was the first version that I heard of this song. As these groups are within my top most favourite groups, I obviously knew of this song when it was released and of course had to listen to it. After I really liked this version, I needed to listen to other versions too.
This version does have the same main beat and lyrics (mostly), but otherwise it is very different, from the original especially. It is more "electric" (I know there is an actual term for it, but I suck with terms). Quite different from the roughness of MAX's version and simplicity of ANRI's, but it actually fits this song surprisingly well. There is always a high risk of going overboard with this type of music, but here everything works. It makes into an interesting version.

text: We lost the pitch for a social campaign about the relationship between children and their parents. But we really believed in our idea, so we decided to do it ourselves. We created an interactive platform “be with me” for sharing ideas and experiences for parent-children time. And a billboard conquering song to advertise it. And convinced couple of rock stars to take part. The upshot was that we got much more attention than official campaign did. A nice feeling, we must say.

When Audrey came in for her consultation, she was telling me about the types of imagery that she was thinking of for her boudoir photo shoot, and had brought a vintage item (she's a vintage reseller and loves all things with a history) that she was considering using for her session. When women come to me for boudoir there is always a pause because while I love shooting in the boudoir genre, I don't really shoot like a "boudoir photographer". I am a portrait photographer through and through and whether you're in your skivvies, or a potato sack I will photograph you and it will look fantastic!
Is that to say wardrobe isn't essential? Of course not! Wardrobe CAN make or break a photo shoot so, when I say that it doesn't matter if you're in your underwear or a potato sack, what I MEAN is that it's all about the eyes; your connection with yourself and with my camera. Boudoir photography, primarily is about the details; the bootie, the shoes, the arch of the back. I don't typically use props or whatever either. I find that usually (for me anyway) creates sort of a contrary portrait at best. That isn't to say that we can capture a vintage or pinup feel within your imagery, it just means I'm not going to go all candy pop crazy on your shoot to create it. We'll bring it out more subtly.
As you can already see, Audrey has vintage written all over her! It emanates from her like...like she's the epitome of 1954 in a modern world. I think its a secret or she's a superhero. Don't tell anyone, ok? ;-)
At any rate, during our conversation I asked her what her WHY was. Why was it important for her to do this photo shoot? And why was it important for her to do this NOW? And, as most people do she just sort of looked at me blankly for a moment and said..."Oh God, I'm gonna have to think about that. Thats a pretty heavy question..." Yes. Yes it is. It is also crucial for me to know that, especially when you're booking something so personal as a boudoir session for me to understand your WHY in order to design your session FOR you. Ladies, I'm not JUST here to point a camera at you and hope for the best. MY purpose is to help you not only to SEE your best SELF, but to step into BEING her. I simply can't do that without understanding why you're coming to me in the first place.
You can imagine how my heart stopped when I read that, can't you? Creating not only a legacy she is proud to call as her own but to give her a platform to STEP INTO BEING HER MOST POWERFUL, AND AMAZING SELF and have tangible evidence in front of her from now on, until well past her dying days that SHE EXISTS/ED. Yes!!!!! (Insert all the hallelujahs, amens, and hands to the sky here please)
I couldn't start planning her session fast enough. I called Amanda at Dollbox Productions to have them do her hair and makeup for the photo shoot. Audrey already goes to Heather for her hair so OF COURSE I would have her here for the shoot! The ladies with DB do it right! Everything was perfect! Her hair did EVERYTHING we wanted it to do and her makeup...shoo! Yes please.
Have you been waiting for the perfect opportunity to step into your most powerful self? The woman your tribe cheers for and loves unconditionally? Let's discover her together. Reach out today. I would love to photograph you.

FORT SILL, OK (KSWO) - Soldiers on Fort Sill will soon be able to learn about Air Defense Artillery history in a brand-new facility. The 40,000-square foot Training Support Facility was made possible through last year's Department of Defense budget. It will be built to the west of the ADA museum.
If you have a question about anything inside the U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery museum, Director Jonathan Bernstein has the history for you. He said he is excited to keep telling that history inside a new facility, and to let soldiers learn more about it through some hands-on learning.
"History is actually very relevant right now," Bernstein said. "We're looking at new ways of tackling new problems, but sort of looking at history to help us figure out how to do that."
The new facility comes with two classrooms, office space, collection storage, and a reference library.
But more importantly, a large space to house everything Air Defense Artillery from 1907 to present day.
This facility has been nearly 10 years in the making, and Bernstein says as someone who has worked in museums for 26 years, preservation of these exhibits is key.
"This will get everything in a stable environment," Bernstein said. "Allow us to preserve and conserve the objects as needed and store them in a safe environment."
The new facility is expected to be completed in the next 2 years. The artifacts will then be moved into their new home. Director Bernstein hopes construction will start within the next two months.

North Fork of the Ninnescah River flows generally eastward across south
central Kansas. During the early 1960's, Cheney Reservoir was constructed
at the lower end of the river to provide a water supply system for the
City of Wichita as well as providing recreational opportunities and
flood control. The reservoir currently supplies 60 to 70 percent of
Wichita's daily water supply.
The watershed encompasses land in five counties - Sedgwick, Reno, Kingman,
Pratt, and Stafford, with the majority in Reno County. For purposes
of administering the project, the watershed is subdivided into four
smaller watersheds - Goose Creek, Silver Creek, the West Ninnescah,
and the East Ninnescah. The division between the East and West Ninnescah
subwatersheds is an arbitrary line near Arlington. Small towns in the
watershed include Arlington, Castleton, Partridge, Plevna, Preston,
Stafford, Sylvia, and, Turon.
This watershed is classified as 99% agricultural and includes a surprising
diversity of farming and ranching practices, crops, rainfall, soil types,
and topography. The eastern half of the watershed includes Reno County,
which has more farms than almost any other county in the state of Kansas.
Small dairies with less than 100 cows are prevalent as are mixed livestock
and grain farms.
percent of the watershed is pasture for beef cattle production. Pastures
in the western half are generally in larger acreages than the eastern
half. In the western reaches of the watershed, strip cropping and center
pivot irrigation are common practices that address wind erosion and
lower rainfall patterns. Typical crops in the watershed are wheat, grain
sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, corn, alfalfa and other hay and forage
crops. There are a limited number of confinement livestock operations.
Seventeen percent of the watershed is enrolled in the Conservation Reserve
Program with the acres planted to native grasses and forbs for a contract
period of 10 years. This area has one of the highest percentages of
CRP acres in the nation.
farmers in the watershed begin to address water quality concerns, they
are encouraged to consider their entire farm and their long-term goals.
Their most creative solutions will address more than one facet of the
farm. The most successful agricultural practices and plans will address
economic advantages, improvements in quality of life, as well as protection
of our water resources.

Welcome to my blog. It is all about the book series ‘I am GoD’.
Hopefully, I will be able to answer some of your questions.
Over the next few weeks, I will investigate what has inspired me:
Names, places, and some of the events.
I look forward to your remarks.
I have been lots of things to many people. Some nice, and some... well not so nice. Now I am older and less worried about what people think of me.
My past is colorful, sad and happy. Filled with lots of unique people.
I have been blessed in this way. I have walked with people in all walks of life, and I have loved each journey, and each and everyone of them.
Now, I write. It is a new road. It is not a highway or a crossroad. It leads me somewhere though, and as I have always spent my life travelling, this suits me fine.

1916 Simthsonian blueprint Eindecker Radio Controlled Airplane
We are fabricating the landing gear, nose component and various stut pieces for this 48# radio controlled Eindecker. This will be flying in competition in Indiana the first week of June.The Fokker Eindecker fighters were a series of German World War I monoplane single-seat fighter aircraft designed by Dutch engineer Anthony Fokker. Developed in April 1915, the first Eindecker ("Monoplane") was the first purpose-built German fighter aircraft and the first aircraft to be fitted with synchronization gear, enabling the pilot to fire a machine gun through the arc of the propeller without striking the blades. Instead of wooden components, Eindecker fighters became the first to use chrome-molybdenum steel tubing for the basic fuselage structure. Total production for the entire Fokker E.I through E.IV series was 416 aircraft. Only one original Eindecker remains. It now resides at the Science Museum in London.


An accident involving a Toyota Corolla on Monday killed three of the six passengers it was carrying after losing control.
The vehicle was said to be heading to Kachia when it lost control and hit a culvert.
One of the surviving passengers, Rose Ademu said the accident was caused by overspeeding.
“I boarded this motor from Television Garage this morning, heading to Kachia. After Kajuru LGA, the driver was speeding, but he refused to listen to the plea of the passengers.”
Ademu said the driver lost control of the steering after Kufana, leading to the death of three, including passengers.
The dead victims have been evacuated to the morgue, while the remaining injured victims are receiving treatment in a hospital in Kaduna

For many, flying in business class overseas is a pipe dream.
However, to help make this dream a reality, Australian travel website, Skyscanner, has revealed how customers can nab the swanky seats for themselves – without the extravagant price tag.
Here FEMAIL has revealed the top four tips jet-setters can follow to fly in style and arrive at their destination feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for a relaxing holiday.
Now Australian travel website, Skyscanner, has revealed how customers can nab swanky business class seats for themselves, without the extravagant price tag
Bid for an upgrade in online auctions
Many travellers are not aware that they can actually make a blind bid on a ticket upgrade as some airlines offer an auction system to economy passengers.
Unfortunately this isn’t a definite way to receive an upgrade but if a passenger is successful, it is a very affordable way to get cheap business class tickets.
There are a variety of airlines that offer online auctions and there’s also the option of paying for a fixed price upgrade when you check-in from most airlines.
According to Skyscanner, the formula for a winning bid is somewhat ambiguous with airlines keeping their results for winning bids under wraps.
For Qantas people only have the chance to do so once they’ve been invited by the airline by email and for Virgin Australia it is offered by email to selected passengers one week prior to departure.
Carriers like Malaysia Airlines, Etihad Airways and Cathay Pacific also offer online upgrade auctions.
Many travellers are not aware that they can actually make a blind bid on a ticket upgrade as some airlines offer an auction system to economy passengers
Upgrade for free with frequent flyer points
Those who fly frequently have the opportunity to receive free business class tickets by using points accumulated while flying.
According to Skyscanner, both Virgin and Qantas programs allow points accrual on purchases other than flights, which can eventually be redeemed for flights.
Be aware though, you’ll need to spend an awful lot of money before you’re flying business class to London.
Airline branded credit cards are also another way to accrue points on purchases that can eventually be exchanged for flights.
Luckily for frequent flyers they have opportunities to receive free business class tickets through points received while flying
Wait for business class tickets to go on sale
Another recommendation from the flight website is to wait for airlines to have special deals on their best seats.
The best way to find out about when these are happening is by subscribing to newsletters from a variety of airlines.
Deals such as early bird special fares are often offered to subscribers and frequent flyers before anyone else.
It is also recommended that people follow airlines social media sites to keep track of any offers they may have.
Dress nicely, be polite and travel alone
Ms Harper said that it doesn’t hurt for people to dress as though they’re travelling in business class.
This is because she said if the opportunity arises to be upgraded, the airline will look at those who are better dressed and feel like they are an appropriate fit.
If people ask nicely whether there are any business class seats available when they check in they may be lucky.
These chances are even more likely if people are travelling solo as it is more likely that an upgraded seat will be available for one person rather than multiple.

In which one of the following states is the Simlipal Bio-reserve located?
- West Bengal.
Which one of the following bio-reserves of India is not included in the world network of Bioreserves?
- Gulf of Mannar
- Nanda Devi.
What factors are responsible for the distribution of plants and animals in India?
The distribution of plants and animals is determined primarily by the following factors:
What is a bio-reserve? Give two examples.
There is a great biological diversity of our land. Vast areas have been reserved for the preservation and protection of flora and fauna of the country in their natural form. Such areas are called Bio-reserves. In these areas, natural plants and animals are protected for the use of future generations. The first biosphere in India was set up at Nilgiri covering an area of 5520 sq. km. Another biosphere was set up at Nanda Devi in Uttarakhand.
Name two animals having habitat in tropical and montane type of vegetation.
Flora and Fauna.
Tropical Evergreen and Deciduous Forests.
Name different types of vegetation found in India and describe the vegetation of high altitudes.
Types of Forests: Due to variation in rainfall, temperature and altitude, there is great variety of natural vegetation in India. The following different types of forests are found in India:
(i) The Tropical Rainforests: These forests are found in areas where annual rainfall is more
200 cms and the mean temperature is more than 20°C. These forests are found in western
parts of the Western Ghats, Plains of West Bengal, Odisha, Eastern Himalayas and the Andaman
(ii) The Monsoon or Tropical Deciduous Forests: These forests are found in the areas where rainfall is between 70 cm and 200 cm. These trees shed their leaves in the hot dry season. So these are called deciduous forests. These forests are found in Terai, Chhotanagpur Plateau (Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh): eastern slopes of the Western Ghats and eastern part of peninsular India. These are not dense forests.
(iii) Thorn Forests and Scrubs: These forests grow where the annual rainfall is less than 70 cm. These are found in parts of eastern Rajasthan, Saurashtra, Malwa Plateau (M.P.), Southern Haryana, S.W. Uttar Pradesh and the Karnataka Plateau.
(iv) The Tidal Forests: These forests are found in deltas of rivers in the coastal areas. These are called Tidal forests of Deltaic forests. These forests are found in Ganga—Brahmaputra Delta, Delta of Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri. These are marshy areas. In West Bengal, the the Ganga and Brahmaputra forms a delta, the forests here are called Sundarbans because the Sundari trees are found in this area.
(v) Montane Forests: The vegetation varies from temperate forests to temperate grasslands followed by Alpine vegetation to Tundra vegetation. These are found in the Himalayan states like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand and Sikkim. The common trees found in Montane forests include Oaks, Pine, Deodar, silver fir, mosses and lichens, etc.
Quite a few species of plants and animals are ‘endangered' in India. Why?
India has a diversity of wild animals, but many rare species have become extinct in India.
examples of endangered species are the one-horned rhinos and the Great Indian Bustard.
Biosphere reserves are vast areas established for the preservation of wild animals. These reserves are used for the protection of rare species of animals found in India. Wildlife is a natural resource. It is conserved for the use of future generations.
Why does India have a rich heritage of flora and fauna?
Vegetation has a close relation with the environment. India has varied relief, landforms,
types and climatic conditions (temperature and rainfall). As a result, a great variety of
flora is found
in India. India possesses about 47,000 different species of plants. Nearly 5000 species are
exclusively in India, out of which, 40% of them are exotic plants.
In the Himalayan region, the vegetation varies according to altitude ranging from tropical forests to Alpine grasslands. The country is rich in flowering plants according to the duration of the growing season. India is rich in non-flowering plants like ferns, algae and fungi. Natural vegetation varies according to the amount of summer rainfall ranging from tropical rainforest, monsoon forests and dry forests. The natural vegetation varies as forests, grasslands and scrubs as the rainfall decreases. Thus, India has a diverse flora.
Why are the southern slopes in Himalayan region covered with thick vegetation cover as compared to northern slopes of the same hills?
The southern slopes of the Himalayan region receive heavy rainfall, which helps in the growth of vegetation quickly. The soil here is also suitable for the growth of vegetation. On the other hand, northern slopes of the Himalayas always remain covered with snow due to high altitude.
Why have the western slopes of the Western Ghats covered with thick forests and not the eastern slopes?
The western slopes of the western ghats covered with thick forest because they receive more
300 cms of rainfall annually. It helps in the growth of thick forests here.
The eastern slopes of the western ghats lies in a rain shadow area. This region receive scanty rainfall. Hence, plant (vegetation) growth is very thin here.
Study the bar graph and answer the following questions.
(i) Name the state having maximum area under forest cover.
(ii) Name the union territory having minimum area under forest cover and why?
(i) Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Meghalaya and Tripura.
(ii) Delhi, Puducherry and Chandigarh.
Activity: Study the given map for the forest cover and try to find the reasons as to why certain states have more area under forest as compared to others?
According to the map and the table given of area under forest, there are various reasons as
certain states have low and certain areas have high area of forest cover.
(i) State of Development: North-eastern states like Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram,
Nagaland, Sikkim, Meghalaya and Tripura along with the island states of Andaman and Nicobar
islands and the Lakshadweep islands have a large number of area under forest cover as these
states have a low level of development.
(ii) Agriculturally dominant: States like Haryana, Punjab, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are agriculturally dominant states. Forest cover has been cut down to facilitate the growing of crops.
(iii) Infrastructure: States like Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Odisha have low forest cover as the level of infrastructure is very high. These states offer world class amenities along with well developed transport system.
(iv) Rugged Terrain: Union territory of Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, along with the North-eastern states have high forest cover as these have rugged terrain. Agriculture is less developed and the construction of transport facilities is not possible.
Can you identify the type of forest shown in this picture?
Identify some tree in it. What type of similarity / dissimilarity you notice in this type of vegetation from the one found in your region?
These are mountain forests. Important trees of these forests are Pine, Deodor, Silver Fir and Cedar.
(i) Find out from the above newspaper cuttings, the main concern highlighted in the given
(ii) Collect more information about various endangered species from newspapers and magazines.
(iii) Find out various steps taken by the Indian government to protect them.
(i) Dwindling of wildlife species.

Emmerdale spoilers: Eric Pollard to die and leave the soap after 32 years?
1 May 2019, 15:39 | Updated: 1 May 2019, 16:13
Will Emmerdale’s Eric Pollard survive the car accident? Everything you need to know.
Emmerdale’s Eric Pollard, played by Chris Chittell, has been left hospitalised after a car accident.
In a recent episode of the hit ITV soap, Eric was knocked down by Jamie Tate’s car after Megan crashed into the back of him while checking her mobile phone.
Eric was rushed to hospital where he appeared to have recovered well.
This was before he went unconscious and nurses were left tending to the patient.
But will Eric die? Or will the character survive the crash?
Gaynor Faye, who plays Megan in the soap hinted at what will happen to Eric.
Speaking to metro.co.uk, she said: “It’s not so great.”
She continued: “Megan sees him being his usual shouty self and assumes he’s alright. She’s a practical person and thinks it’s just the car, so everything can be fixed. But it’s only later on that everything isn’t quite what it seems. That’s what triggers the guilt trip.”
Chris Chittell has not revealed any clues on the fate of his character.
Chris has been a character on Emmerdale for 32 years now, becoming the show’s longest running character.


Family members of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old who was killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., recently fought in a parking lot over merchandise related to his death.
It's harvest time in Colorado, and not just for pumpkins. Concerns are running high over door-to-door campaign workers asking voters for their mail-in ballots in what is known as "ballot harvesting."
Forensic evidence shows Michael Brown's blood on the gun, uniform and inside the car of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, law enforcement officials said, information they believe potentially corroborates the officer's story that the unarmed 18-year-old tried to take his gun. The evidence will make it harder for the Justice Department to prosecute Officer Darren Wilson on federal charges that he violated Brown's civil rights, said the officials. Such evidence would also make it difficult for a county grand jury to indict Wilson on state charges, such as murder or manslaughter, said county sources.
When the new Congress reconvenes in January, voters increasingly want it to be a Republican-led one.
With approximately two weeks to go until the 2014 midterm elections, likely voters prefer them to produce a GOP-led Congress over a Democratic one, 49 percent to 44 percent, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Annenberg poll. read more
The confidential memo from a former pollster for President Obama contained a blunt warning for Democrats. Written this month with an eye toward Election Day, it predicted "crushing Democratic losses across the country" if the party did not do more to get black voters to the polls.

A volcano subsides over three thousand people as Hurricane Mitch devastated Central America. A Basque journalist arrived at the scene of the tragedy to make a report and unearths a man without identity, dying in the rubble.
Without knowing it, he saves the life of a man who is doomed to face and which has two things in common: both hands stained with blood and none of them is who they claim to be.
Together they star a long travel through a desolate scene, destroyed by the hurricane, which must face themselves, discover who the other and face, perhaps, a last crime. Is this a story of victims and executioners?

We offer comprehensive industry specific solutions for Manufacturing and Project Tools.
Gross cover three main manufacturing Production plans; Make-to-Stock, Make-to-Order and Engineer-to-Order. Most small and medium sized manufacturing businesses are based on a make-to- order or engineer-to-order system. For growth purposes, the engineer-to-order systems, the Manufacturing module is usable along with the Projects module.
Production Order / Stock Entry / Timesheet
Production Order (also called as Work Order) is a document that is given to the manufacturing shop floor by the Production Planner as a signal to produce a certain quantity of a certain Item. Production Order also helps to generate the material requirements (Stock Entry) for the Item to be produced from its Bill of Materials.
Bill of Materials
At the heart of the Manufacturing system is the Bill of Materials (BOM). The BOM is a list of all materials (either bought or made) and operations that go into a finished product or sub-Item. In Gross, the component could have its own BOM hence forming a tree of Items with multiple levels.
Costing of a BOM
The Costing section in BOM gives an approximate cost of producing the Item.
You can add a list of Items you require for each operation, with its quantity. This Item could be a purchased Item or a sub-assembly with its own BOM. If the row Item is a manufactured Item and has multiple BOMs, select the appropriate BOM. You can also define if a part of the Item goes into scrap.
Project / Task / Gantt Chart
Project management in Gross is Task driven. This allows you to separate and track stages of completion as calculated base on task progress. You can create Project and assign multiple Tasks against it. Project is divided into Tasks. In Gross, you can also create a Task independently and monitor its Status, dependents, manage expenses, and time frames.
Timesheet / Activity Type / Activity Cost
You can bill Time Logs by batching them together. This gives you the flexibility to manage your customer billing in the way you want by creating timesheets and sales invoices. All activities are categorized and grouped as Planning, Research, Proposal writing, Execution and Communication.

Keep up with the digital identity landscape.
The Philippines are known for its inefficient banking systems — the financial services offered by the nation’s leading institutions are notoriously difficult to obtain, particularly for average employees with mediocre salaries. Consequently, Filipino workers turned to local remittance networks to transfer money abroad to family members with limited access to banks. Even so, remittance outlets have high transaction fees, leading Filipino workers to look for alternatives. Enter crypto to the Philippines.
Cryptocurrency strongholds in the Philippines target the remittance problem by offering simple methods of buying and selling bitcoin with lower fees than traditional remittance services. As a result, cryptocurrency is largely prevalent in the Philippines—as of 2021, approximately 4% of the Philippines’ total population owned cryptocurrency (over 4.3 million people), and the country had the third highest uptake of cryptocurrency globally that year.
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), or the Central Bank of the Philippines, has since issued guidelines concerning virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and virtual currencies (VCs), which include cryptocurrencies. Because VCs are not backed by a central bank or a particular commodity—and are not guaranteed by any country—they are not recognised as legal tender. Since they are used as a conduit to provide financial services such as remittances and payment transactions, though, entities that provide such services by using VCs must register with the BSP; additionally, they must adopt adequate measures to mitigate the risks associated with such currencies. The guidelines also list penalties that apply to VC entities operating without the appropriate authorization from the BSP.
VASPS will also be held to guidelines that are based on international standards for regulators issued by the Financial Action Task Force. To prevent VASPs from assisting in money laundering, they must seek a “certificate of authority,” which will act as a license that allows them to operate as a money-sending business. VASPs will also need to align with BSP’s existing rules for financial service providers in areas like liquidity and operational risk, IT risk, internal controls, consumer protection and anti-money laundering. Additionally, VASPs now need a minimum capital requirement of 50 million Philippine pesos if they provide custody services, 10 million pesos ($208,000) if they do not. VASPs will also be responsible for conducting their own customer due diligence, and they must treat cryptocurrency transactions as cross-border wire transfers, keeping participant data for those over 50,000 pesos. Suspicious activity or single transactions of 50,000 pesos and over will require extra due diligence and payout restrictions.
A primer released by the BSP states that, from a consumer standpoint, there exists three main benefits of VCs (like cryptocurrency): remittances and wire transfers, electronic payments and financial inclusion.
Firstly, the Philippines receives an high amount of remittances from overseas–many Filipinos either receive remittances from abroad, or send remittances to relatives and loved ones within the country. Additionally, an increasing number of Filipinos shop online, pay for goods and services online, or transfer funds via digital means. These remittances and transfers can be faster, more convenient and cheaper when facilitated by cryptocurrency—as opposed to traditional remittance and payment schemes—which allows the average Filipino to benefit. This may also enhance competition in the remittance and payments market, resulting in lower transaction costs and improved services for consumers.
Secondly, VCs are easier to use as payments for online goods and services, which can support the growing e-commerce industry in the Philippines and the use of social media, mobile technologies and other creative platforms as delivery channels for financial transactions and services.
Finally, VCs can also improve financial inclusion for the general populace. VCs can facilitate and expand financial services for low-income Filipinos, as well as those living in more remote areas where traditional financial service providers (i.e. banks) lack reach. This is both possible and profitable, given the cost-effectiveness of VC transactions, as well as Filipinos’ tendency to quickly adapt to digital platforms and mobile technology.
Earlier this month, PayMaya (the Philippines’ top payment provider) launched a new cryptocurrency feature on its app. With over 40 million users, the fintech company is a VASP, a virtual money issuer (EMI), and the country’s largest provider of digital payments. With this initiative, PayMaya users can trade, purchase and spend digital assets with their accounts. Part of PayMaya’s aim to offer a comprehensive crypto package for anybody interested in entering the market, the feature will also simplify crypto education for Filipinos. It will likewise eliminate the necessity for users to register with cryptocurrency exchanges, create a crypto wallet and go through other KYC hoops. PayMaya users with upgraded accounts can directly trade their Bitcoin and Ether for Philippine pesos; other cryptocurrencies available for trading on the site include Cardano, Chainlink, UNISWAP, Solana, Quant, Polkadot and Polygon, with more coins to be added soon.
In late January, the Union Bank of the Philippines announced plans to offer trading and custodial services for cryptocurrencies to capitalize on the fast adoption of digital tokens within the country. The bank’s custodial services for digital assets will also cover tokenized bonds. UnionBank will use a system developed by Switzerland’s Metaco for managing its digital-asset operations, which comes as a natural progression: in 2019, UnionBank became the first Philippine lender to launch its own stablecoin—called PHX—which provided rural banks in its network easier access to remittance payments.
Axie Infinity also made headlines in 2021 due to the sheer amount of Flipinos playing it (and profiting). Many Filipinos played Axie Infinity as a way of earning money; one player even claimed that he managed to buy two houses in the Philippines using the in-game profits that he had earned from selling small-love potions for cryptocurrency.
There are a few prominent local crypto companies in the Philippines that have reach within the country, though none can compare to Coins.ph.
Coins.ph is a popular crypto company and bitcoin platform in the Philippines whose mission is to increase financial inclusion across Southeast Asia’s 650 million population, an area which remains largely unbanked. The fintech company enables anyone—including those without a bank account—to access financial services directly from their phone. Coins.ph serves over 10 million customers, and it was one of the first blockchain-backed platforms to reach significant mainstream consumer adoption. The company has also built one of the Philippine’s largest cash distribution networks, operating through over 33,000 partner locations domestically and over 500,000 locations worldwide. Coins.ph is regulated by the BSP and is the first ever blockchain-based company in Asia to hold both VC and Electronic Money Issuer licenses from a central bank.
The company’s mobile app provides consumers with direct access to banking and digital payment services, including local and international remittances, mobile air-time, bill payments, game credits and online shopping. Additionally, its services also enable users to settle utility bills—such as credit card, electricity, water, and rental fees— using bitcoin instead of cash. With Coins.ph’s close ties to local payment network providers and banks, such as UnionBank and Ripple, it also allows users to purchase and sell bitcoin through traditional methods such as bank deposits, bank wiring, and ATM deposits.

Title: The right Brain Approach in Homeopathy
Author: Dr. Dinesh Chauhan MD
Publisher: Philosophia publications, Mumbai, India
First edition, 2022, hardcover, 331 pages
Reviewer: Vatsala Sperling
In this review, I will introduce you to two new acronyms worth remembering. Planned and intentional or unintentional pursuit of PHEW (Peace, Health, Emotional wellness, and Wealth) is a very human endeavor.
What happens when our best plans fail, and we must deal with DISH (Discord, Ill-health, Setbacks, and Hardships)? What do discord, ill-health, setbacks, and hardships have in common other than annoying us and derailing us from our planned, well-thought-out trajectory?
If this question has ever bothered you and you have been struggling to find the right answer, you have picked the right book to read, The Right Brain Approach in Homeopathy.
As you begin reading, you will see that this book is an outcome of a major setback in the author Dr. Dinesh Chauhan’s life. Actually, several people were directly affected by this setback. Wonderful friends and seminar organizers, Marina Braun, and Sonam Kushner, had done the entire gamut of backstage hard-work required to bring in Dr. Dinesh Chauhan for a four-day seminar in the Fall of 2016.
After completing his seminars in Europe, he was meant to fly to the USA and teach an eager group of students, me included. But then he was struck by ill-health. After receiving critical care in Europe, he cancelled his USA trip and returned home to India.
This health- setback launched him on a path of self-inquiry and research that took him to the next level in his life and he wrote The Right Brain Approach in Homeopathy. Essentially, this book came into being because Dr. Dinesh did not allow DISH to ruin the day for him or, spoil his mood.
He did self-reflection, he researched 17,000 cases from his practice with particular attention to unsuccessful cases, he explored everything he could about the brain, and its functions, and he came up with a way of understanding patients when we get stuck in the case taking process and have no clue how to proceed further for finding a simillimum.
He found a path for getting un-stuck. Jeremy Sherr declares this to be an advanced level book of Dr. Dinesh’s spectacular right brain methodologies. Misha Norland, my teacher, who was also a father-figure and mentor to Dr. Dinseh, observes that Dinesh keeps moving forward and has a knack of taking us with him. Simply put, but very true.
Abdul Hay calls this book a guidebook for practitioner and patient. Marina Braun convinces us that Dinesh’s holistic approach springs from his heart. Van Der Linden Luc calls it a great contribution to homeopathy, and for reading what I call this book, you better read the book and the introduction I wrote.
Dr. Dinesh draws us into the world of right and left brain by using an example of a holistic car with two travelers. The rest of the book is an intricate, practical, and thoughtful manual about how to integrate the left and right brain and arrive at a holistic expression of the brain.
Section one of this book is about an introduction to the scientifically intuitive case witnessing process (SICWP) and how the author has dipped into ancient mythology to make a point that integration of the right and the left is a true integration that leads to wholeness.
This section also gives you a perspective on how Dr. Dinesh’s right brain approach fits in with every other level and style of case taking proposed by masters new and old. Fine details of SICWP are given from pages 53 till 62 and familiarizing yourself thoroughly with these details is a must before you venture any further.
Now, let us see how the right brain approach can fit into our practice. As we start case taking, or case-witnessing, as Dr Dinesh names the process, we get a glimpse of a patient’s life and symptoms, in no particular order, and we must make sense from this data to find a simillimum.
This highly unpredictable real-life phenomenon we face daily as homeopaths, prompted Dr Dinesh to familiarize himself with William Burroughs who used a cut-up technique for writing his books simply because he did not like his books to have a formal, pre-determined structure, a beginning, a middle, and an end.
William Burrough’s style became a touch stone and an inspiration for the author. The idea of dwelling in a place without a formal beginning and an end brought to his mind a sense of continuity, unbroken flow, and an un-hindered multi-dimensional progression….and this was an “Aha” moment for him.
He saw the possibility of creating a space in the case witnessing process where our patient’s logical left brain can be set aside, and they could spontaneously connect with their inner pattern guided by the right brain.
How to set aside the logical left brain? The answer to this question is in section 2 where you will find a splendid menu of 15 different right brain approaches to choose from. At the outset, we also get introduced to Khumari. She is an imagined personality, feminine and playful, an alter-ego, who accompanies the author on his inner journeys and acts as his sidekick, and muse.
If you have reached a point in your practice where you are considering the right brain approach, then read this section as if your life depends on it. Every one of the 15 approaches is a unique method with a step-by-step description. I will include one example here: A world by you, of you, for you: Fairytale method
This method includes the following steps:
- Passive case witnessing process – six questions
- Guided passive case witnessing process– six questions
- Active case witnessing process ––-six questions
- Active-active case witnessing process – understanding the center completely- seven questions
- Active-active case witnessing process- giving the whole to the patient
- Active-active case witnessing process- towards healing- three questions
- Active-active case witnessing process- advice and designer diary
Anyone who has read or heard fairy tales knows that fairy tales, rich with imagination, fantasy, and a wide range of emotions, contain a taste of an alternative reality, and possibility that provides us with a compass in our life’s journey. The ingenuity of Dr. Dinesh is that he has used something very common – fairy tales – for an uncommon purpose, case taking based on a right brain approach.
Similarly, you will find that the other approaches, too, include very common aspects of life, for example, storytelling, autobiography, belief system, imaginary friends, scribbling, abstract art, focusing on illness and profession, use of quotations from relevant sources, self-zine, rapid writing, and internal witnessing method.
I consider what Dr. Dinesh has accomplished as grabbing a mere stone, cutting it at proper angles and turning it in to a gem. He has used very common tools to pull together a whole system of understanding cases that are hard to crack, but once the logical left brain is quieted down, and the right brain is allowed to express un-hindered, the very core of these cases can emerge beautifully.
To test out the efficacy of right brain approaches, Dr. Dinesh has been conducting workshops in various countries, and he also uses it successfully in his own practice, as evidenced by eleven very interesting illustrative cases.
What is most striking about this book is that very adeptly, Dr. Dinesh has used folklore, mythological stories, fairy tales, real-life experiences, deep and meditative insight, and practical tips as a springboard to make his point about why, what, when, where, how, and for whom the right brain approach in case taking can be used. Though you are reading a serious and advanced level academic book, you can get thorough entertainment value as well because you get to read so many stories told adeptly and briefly.
You may ask ‘Isn’t the classical homeopathy style of asking questions enough?’ It is and it is not. You can carry on successfully asking questions in a head-to-foot format, gather PQRS in the mental, emotional, and physical areas, modalities, concomitants, and such, repertorize diligently, prescribe the most highly indicated remedy that pops up on the repertorization chart, and have the patient return for a follow up with no change in his symptoms. He remains a heart-wrenching picture of ill-health.
Then you find yourself asking, ‘where did I miss, what did I do wrong?’ and that is when you begin to experience DISH, the acronym I introduced in the very beginning of this review. As you try to make your way out of DISH, that is when you will find the true purpose and use of Dr. Dinesh’s book. ‘The Right Brain Approach In Homeopathy’.
As students and practitioners, it is our calling to learn from every available source, keep our case taking tools sharp and up to date, and instead of mastering just one technique, and applying it on all our patients whether it suits them or not, we become fluid and use a technique that suits our patients and gives us the best results.
Then only we can say with confidence that we are in a human-centric healing profession. Dr. Dinesh has tested his method in the crucible of his daily practice and summarized his experiences in this book, for your success in cases where you might get stuck. Now it is up to you to use the tools for a better outcome in your own practice.
