The 965km long Chambal is the largest and most important river of western MP. This river was referred to as Punya in the 4th century b.c. epic, the Mahabharata, and as Charmanavati in the Puranas which are ancient Hindu texts.It is said that King Ranti Dev (one of the successors of King Bharata, Lord Rama’s brother) had sacrificed cows to honour his guests. The blood that oozed out of the cows’ charmas (skin) turned into a river named Charmanavati.

¤ Tapti/Tapi River
Apart from the Narmada, the Tapti is the only river that flows westward and falls into the Arabian Sea, in the Gulf of Khambat, to be precise. The 724km long Tapti is agriculturally very important as it drains an area of over 65,145sq km spread over Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and
According to the Puranas, ancient Hindu texts, , the Tapti is the daughter of the Sun god, Surya, who created her to save himself from his own intense heat. Tapti is also known as Tapi (taken from the Sanskrit word taap, which means heat). In the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, it is mentioned that Tapti had married Sanvaran, a legendary hero of the Moon Dynasty. They had a son called Kuru, from whom the Kuru Dynasty started.
¤ Shipra River
The Shipra starts her journey in the Vindhya Range from a hill called Kokri Tekdi situated at a distance of 11km from Ujjain. This river is 195km long, out of which 93km flow through
The Shipra has been mentioned not only in ancient Hindu texts, like the Puranas, but in Buddhist and Jain scriptures as well. Legend has it that once Lord Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe, went begging, using the skull of Lord Brahma, the Creator of the Universe, as a begging bowl. Nowhere in the three worlds did he manage to get any alms. Ultimately, he went to Vaikunth, or the seat of Lord Vishnu, and asked Lord Vishnu for alms. In return, Lord Vishnu showed Lord Shiva his index finger, which enraged the latter. Lord Shiva took out his trishul, or trident, and cut Lord Vishnu’s fingers. The Preserver’s fingers began to bleed profusely, and the blood accumulated in Brahma’s skull and soon overflowed from it. The flow became a stream and finally a river – the Shipra. The Puranas, or ancient Hindu texts, also suggest that the Shipra originated from the heart of Varaha, Lord Vishnu’s incarnation as a boar. Also on the banks of the Shipra is Sage Sandipani’s ashram, or hermitage where the blue god,

i. Chairman of Public Account Committee
ii. The committee on Public accounts,
Ans a (i only)
Composition
The Public Accounts Committee consists of fifteen Members elected by Lok Sabha every year from amongst its members according to the principle of proportional representation by means of single transferable vote. Seven members of Rajya Sabha elected by that House in like manner are associated with the Committee. This system of election ensures that each Party/Group is represented on the Committee in proportion to its respective strength in the two Houses.
Process of Election
In April each year a motion is moved in Lok Sabha by the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs or Chairman of the Committee, if in office, calling upon members of the House to elect from amongst themselves 15 members to the Public Accounts Committee. After the motion is adopted, a programme, fixing the dates for filing the nominations/withdrawal of candidatures and the election, if necessary, is notified in Lok Sabha Bulletin Part-II. On receipt of nominations, a list of persons who have filed nomination papers is put up on the Notice Boards. In case the number of members nominated is equal to the number of members to be elected, then, after expiry of time for withdrawal of candidatures, the members nominated are declared elected and the result published in Bulletin Part-II. If the number of members nominated after withdrawals is more than number of members to be elected, election is held on the stipulated date and result of election published in Bulletin Part-II.
Association of Members of Rajya Sabha
Another motion is moved in Lok Sabha recommending to Rajya Sabha to nominate seven members of that House for being associated with the Committee. After adoption, the motion is transmitted to Rajya Sabha through a Message. Rajya Sabha holds election of members to the Committee and the names of members elected are communicated to Lok Sabha.
Appointment of Chairman
The Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the Speaker from amongst the members of Lok Sabha elected to the Committee.
As a convention, starting from the Public Accounts Committee of 1967-68, a member of the Committee belonging to the main opposition party/group in the House is appointed as the Chairman of the Committee.
Minister not to be Member of Committee
A Minister is not eligible to be elected as a member of the Committee and if a member, after his election to the Committee, is appointed as a Minister, he ceases to be a member of the Committee from the date of such appointment.
Term of Office
The term of office of the members of the Committee is one year.
Association of Members with Government Committees
A member, on his election to the Committee, has to communicate to the office of the Committee, the particulars regarding the various Committees appointed by Government with which he is associated, for being placed before the Speaker. Where the Speaker considers it inappropriate that a member should continue to serve on the Government Committee, the member is required to resign membership of the Committee constituted by Government. Where the Speaker permits a member to continue to hold membership of Government Committee, he may require that the report of the Government Committee shall be placed before the Committee on Public Accounts for such comments as the latter Committee may deem fit to make, before it is presented to Government. Whenever the Chairman or any member of the Committee on Public Accounts is invited to accept membership of any Committee constituted by Government, the matter is likewise to be placed before the Speaker before the appointment is accepted.
Functions of the Committee
The Public Accounts Committee examines the accounts showing the appropriation of the sums granted by Parliament to meet the expenditure of the Government of India, the Annual Finance Accounts of the Government of India and such other accounts laid before the House as the Committee may think fit. Apart from the Reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of
While scrutinising the Appropriation Accounts of the Government of India and the Reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General thereon, it is the duty of the Committee to satisfy itself—
— that the moneys shown in the accounts as having been disbursed were legally available for and applicable to the service or purpose to which they have been applied or charged;
— that the expenditure conforms to the authority which governs it; and
— that every re-appropriation has been made in accordance with the provisions made in this behalf under rules framed by competent authority.
An important function of the Committee is to ascertain that money granted by Parliament has been spent by Government "within the scope of the demand". The functions of the Committee extend "beyond the formality of expenditure to its wisdom, faithfulness and economy". The Committee thus examines cases involving losses, nugatory expenditure and financial irregularities.
While scrutinising the Reports of Comptroller and Auditor General on Revenue Receipts, the Committee examines various aspects of Government’s tax administration. The Committee, thus, examines cases involving under-assessments, tax-evasion, non-levy of duties, mis-classifications etc., identifies loopholes in the taxation laws and procedures and make recommendations in order to check leakage of revenue.
Regularisation of Excess Expenditure
If any money has been spent on a service in excess of the amount granted by the House for the purpose, the Committee examines the same with reference to the facts of each case, the circumstances leading to such an excess and make such recommendations as it may deem fit. Such excesses are thereafter required to be brought up before the House by Government for regularisation in the manner envisaged in article 115 of the Constitution. In order to facilitate speedy regularisation of such expenditure by Parliament, the Committee presents a consolidated report relating to all Ministries/Departments expeditiously in advance of other reports.
Selection of Subject for Examination
As the work of the Committee is normally confined to the various matters referred to in the Audit Reports, and Appropriation Accounts, its work normally starts after the Reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the accounts of the Government are laid on the Table of the House. As soon as the Committee for a year is constituted, it selects paragraphs from those reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General were presented by for examination during its term of office.
Assistance by Comptroller and Auditor General
The Committee is assisted by the Comptroller and Auditor General in the examination of Accounts and Audit Reports.
Constitution of Working Groups/Sub-Committees
A number of Working Groups/Sub-Committees are constituted by the Chairman from amongst the members of the Committee for detailed examination of the subjects selected by the Committee and for considering procedural matters. A Sub-Committee is also constituted for scrutiny of action taken by Government on the recommendations contained in the previous reports of the Committee.
Calling for Information from Government
The Committee calls for, in the first instance, advance information from the Ministries/Departments in regard to subjects selected by it for examination.
Study
The Committee undertakes on the spot study tours/visits of various Departments/Establishments connected with the subjects taken up for examination.
For the purpose, members of the Committee are divided into study groups. Each study tour is undertaken with the specific approval of the Speaker.
Evidence of Officials
The Committee later takes oral evidence of the representatives of the Ministries/Departments concerned with the subjects under examination.
Ministers not called before Committee
A Minister is not called before the Committee either to give evidence or for consultation in connection with the examination of Accounts by the Committee. The Chairman of the Committee may, however, when considered necessary but after its deliberations are concluded, have an informal talk with the Minister concerned to apprise him of (a) any matters of policy laid down by the Ministry with which the Committee does not fully agree; and (b) any matters of secret and confidential nature which the Committee would not like to bring on record in its report.
Report and Minutes
The conclusions of the Committee on a subject are contained in its Report, which, after its adoption by the Committee, is presented by the Chairman to the Lok Sabha. Minutes of the sittings of the Committee form Part II of the Report. A copy of the Report is also laid on the Table of Rajya Sabha. Generally, the Reports of the Committee are adopted by consensus among members. Accordingly, there is no system of appending minute of dissent to the Report.
Action Taken on Reports
After presentation to the Lok Sabha, the Report is forwarded to the Ministry or Department concerned which is required to take action on the recommendations and conclusions contained in the Report and furnish action taken replies thereon within six months.
Action taken notes received from the Ministries/ Departments are examined by the Action Taken Sub- Committee and Action Taken Reports of the Committee are presented to the House. A copy of the Report is also laid on the Table of Rajya Sabha.
Statements of action taken on Action Taken Reports
Replies received from Government in respect of recommendations contained in the Action Taken Reports are also laid on the Table of Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha in the form of Statements.
[The constitution and working of the Public Accounts Committee is governed by Rules 253 to 286 and 308 to 309 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha and Directions 48 to 73, 96A, 97, 97A, 99 and 100 of the Directions by the Speaker, Lok Sabha.]

Red Panda
[Wild Animals in India
The Red Panda, also called the "Fire Cat," is a tree dwelling mammal, which looks like a raccoon, with its bushy tail and white and black markings across its face. Characterized by its red fur, the Red Panda looks very different from its larger relative the Giant Panda. There are two species of Red Panda. One subspecies is found only in
Range: Red Pandas are found in the sub Himalayan states of North East India -
Estimated population: The Red Panda is a rare animal and because of its reclusive arboreal nature and the difficult terrain in which it lives, accurate estimates of the Red Panda population are hard to arrive at. It is estimated that there are about 2,500 Red Pandas left in the wild.
Slow Loris (Nycticebus coucang)
MORPHOLOGY:
This species has dark rings around the eyes and a white nose, which make it stand out. These primates have a special reticulum in their hands and feet which remove lactic acid build up allowing them to grasp with their hands and feet for hours. The thumb and the big toe are perpendicular to the other digits (Nowak, 1999). In females the vulva is closed until estrus. The saliva of this species is toxic and is used in defense against predators (Alterman, 1995). Mothers will spread the toxin on their infants with the use of the toothcomb (Alterman, 1995). The nail on the second digit of each foot is shaped more like a claw and is used in grooming. The toilet claw is usually licked right after grooming (Tenaza et al., 1969). A brown ring circles the eyes of the slow loris (Choudhury, 1992). The pelage of the face is pale brown to whitish in color with dark markings (Choudhury, 1992). The head and the shoulders may have a color that is gray, creamy or dull silvery white (Choudhury, 1992). The dorsal side is reddish brown to gray in color (Choudhury, 1992). The flanks and rump of this species are either buff, rusty, or ashy-gray (Choudhury, 1992). There is a brown dorsal stripe that extends from the crown down to the back (Choudhury, 1992). The average body mass for an adult male slow loris is around 670 grams and for the female it is around 626 grams (Barrett, 1984). Females have two pairs of mammae, one pectoral and one in the lower thoracic area (Izard et al., 1988).

The Galileo positioning system, referred to simply as Galileo, is a proposed Global Navigation Satellite System, to be built by the European Satellite Navigation Industries for the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA) as an alternative to the United States operated Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLONASS. Galileo Operating Company, the concession holder and private consortium that was to run Galileo, was to have its main headquarters in Toulouse, France, with some specialized command centers also located in Munich (performance control), London (system operations), Rome (performance control), and Madrid (Safety of Life signals and redundancy control).[1] It was reported on 18 May 2007 that, at the recommendation of Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot, the EU will take direct control of the Galileo project from the private sector.[2]
Galileo is tasked with multiple objectives including the following: to provide a higher precision to all users than is currently available through GPS or GLONASS, to improve availability of positioning services at higher latitudes, and to provide an independent positioning system upon which European nations can rely even in times of war or political disagreement. The current project plan has the system as operational by 2011–12, three or four years later than originally anticipated.
It is named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei. The Galileo positioning system is referred to as "Galileo" instead of as the abbreviation "GPS" to distinguish it from the existing

Introduction
To achieve the complex task of coordinating the activity of several dozen paired muscle groups, swallowing (deglutition) requires neural control mechanisms involving levels of the neuraxis extending from the spinal cord to the cortex. The brainstem has long been thought to harbor the central network generating the basic spatiotemporal pattern of deglutitive neuromuscular activity. As illustrated by the work of Bidder,1 Mosso,2 and Miller and Sherrington,3 much of the pioneering research on swallowing dealt with its properties as a brainstem reflex effecting bolus transport through the upper alimentary tract, along with protection of the airway and the middle ear. This view lingers on in clinical thinking to this day, but has undergone substantial evolution in contemporary experimental work.

In a step towards the revival of Japanese militarism, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) government on January 9 set up the country’s first defence ministry since the end of World War II. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the new defence minister, Fumio Kyuma, attended the official ceremony to rename the previous defence agency headquarters as the new defence ministry.
Abe declared in his speech that he was proud to be the Japanese leader to reestablish the defence ministry. “This is a big step towards building a new nation after emerging from the postwar regime,” he said. While the change of name may appear to be minor, it is part of Abe’s agenda to end the restrictions placed on

The FIFA World Player of the Year is a football award given annually to the male and female player who are thought to be the best in the world, based on votes by coaches and captains of international teams. In a voting system based on a type of a Borda count, each coach gets three votes, worth five points, three points and one point, and the winners are ordered based on total number of points. The award started in 1991 for men and 2001 for women.
The award's youngest winner, male or female, is Ronaldo, who won at the age of 20 in 1996. He won it again in 1997. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Mia Hamm and Birgit Prinz are the only players to have won twice in a row. Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and Prinz are the only three-time winners. The oldest winner is Fabio Cannavaro who won in 2006 at age 33. The oldest female winner is Hamm, who won in 2002 at age 30, and the youngest female winner is Marta, who won in 2006 at age 20 (but was seven months older than was Ronaldo in 1996).

A pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color of the pigment comes from the wavelengths of light reflected (in other words, those not absorbed). Chlorophyll, the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells, absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green, which it reflects to be detected by our eyes. Black pigments absorb all of the wavelengths that strike them. White pigments/lighter colors reflect all or almost all of the energy striking them. Pigments have their own characteristic absorption spectra, the absorption pattern of a given pigment.

Chlorophyll is a complex molecule. Several modifications of chlorophyll occur among plants and other photosynthetic organisms. All photosynthetic organisms (plants, certain protistans, prochlorobacteria, and cyanobacteria) have chlorophyll a. Accessory pigments absorb energy that chlorophyll a does not absorb. Accessory pigments include chlorophyll b (also c, d, and e in algae and protistans), xanthophylls, and carotenoids (such as beta-carotene). Chlorophyll a absorbs its energy from the Violet-Blue and Reddish orange-Red wavelengths, and little from the intermediate (Green-Yellow-Orange) wavelengths.

NASA's COBE (Cosmic Bakground Explorer) satellite was developed to measure the diffuxe infrared and cosmic microwave background radiation from the early Universe to the limits set by our astrophysical environment. COBE was launched on November 18, 1989 and carried three instruments: DIRBE (the Diffuse InfraRed Experiment) to search for and measure the cosmic infrared background radiation, DMR (Differential Microwave Radiometers) to map the cosmic microwave background radiation precisely, and FIRAS (Far-InfaRed Absolute Spectrophotometer) to compare the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation with that from a precise blackbody.
Data from the full four years of COBE observations continue to be analyzed. Student and post doctoral opportunities exist.
A large number of people were involved at various stages in the COBE project.
DIRBE (Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment)
DIRBE has mapped the absolute sky brightness in 10 wavelength bands ranging from 1.25 microns to 240 microns. These data contain the signal from the cosmic infrared background and the foreground emissions from extragalactic sources, our Galaxy, and dust and other sources in our solar system. Work is in progress on separating and modeling the varios components. Significantly improved limits on the cosmic infrared background exist and future progress is possible and likely. A significant amount of work involves study of the astrophysics of the interesting foreground sources. There is a very rich data base on the infrared emission from the Galaxy and the interplanetary dust.
Galactic plane emission: bands 1-5
Galactic plane emission: bands 6-10
DMR (Differential Microwave Radiomters)
The COBE DMR ( Smoot et al. 1992 ) has found anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background on all scales from the nominal beam size of 7-degrees up to the full sky at a typical level of one part in 100,000 to a few parts per million. These anisotropies are interpreted as imprints of the seeds that eventually grew under the influence of gravity to galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and clusters of clusters of galaxies. They also indicate that we should eventually expect to find even larger scale structures. They also give us a clue to how the Universe originated - i.e. how space and time and all the other contents of the Universe came into being. Two of the four years of the COBE DMR data have been released. Data processing of all four years are in progress and the full four year data were released in January 1996. The DMR team had a large number of memembers over the years in addition to those from the COBE science working group that participated.
DMR Four Year DMR images of the Cosmic Microwave Background Fluctuations.
FIRAS (Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer)
FIRAS has shown that the cosmic microwave background spectrum matches that of a blackbody of temperature 2.726K with a precision of 0.03% of the peak intensity over a wavelength range 0.1 to 5 mm. Longer wavelength measurements, though not nearly as precise, conducted by Smoot's group at LBL and collaborators and by other groups, show that the CMB spectrum is well-described by a single temperature blackbody. See figure [attach Intensity and Temperature plots] of spectrum measurements. These measurements limit possible alternative models to the Big Bang extremely strongly and limit potential energy releases in the early Universe, typically to less than 0.1% to 0.01%.

Majhgawan Mine
The Majhgawan pipe is surrounded on all the sides by the Baghain sandstones of Kaimur series which belongs to the Vindhyan system. The diamond occurs in the Kimberlitic pipe, which is an intrusive into above formation. Kimberlite pipe in Majhgawan is elliptical in shape whose longer axis is 320 meters. Diamond occurs as disseminated form in kimberlite pipe. The distribution of diamond in the pipe is not homogeneous. The average incidence of diamond in the pipe is about 10 carats per hundred tonne of kimberlite.

Administration
Arunachal Pradesh attained its statehood on 20th February 1987. It has 16 districts namely Tawang, West Kameng, East Kameng, Papumpare, Lower Subansiri, Upper Subansiri, East Siang, West Siang, Upper Siang, Dibang Valley, Lower Dibang Valley, Lohit, Changlang, Tirap, Kurung Kumey and Anjaw. It also possess 36 sub divisions, 69 blocks and 149 circles. Under the unicameral legislature system, it has 60 seats of legislative assembly. The state is represented in the Lok Sabha by two members and one member in the Rajya Sabha.
Demography
The population of Arunachal Pradesh is 1,097968 according to 2001 census and is scattered over 12 towns and 3862 villages. The State has the lowest density of 13 persons per sq. km. As against decadal growth rate of 21.54% at the national level, the population of the State has grown by 27% over the period 1991-2001. The sex ratio of Arunachal Pradesh at 893 females to 1000 males is lower than the national average of 933. Total literacy of the State rose to 44.24% from 41.59% in 1991. There are 20 major tribes and a number of sub-tribes inhabiting the area. Most of these communities are ethnically similar, having derived from and original common stock but their geographical isolation from each other has brought amongst them certain distinctive characteristics in language, dress and customs.

This is a list of the longest rivers on Earth. It includes river systems over 1,000 kilometers.

[edit] Definition of length
Amazon River near Manaus
The length of a river is not always easy to calculate. It depends on the identification of the source, the identification of the mouth, and the precise measurement of the river length between source and mouth. As a result, the length measurements of many rivers are only approximations. In particular, there has for long been disagreement whether the Amazon or the Nile is the world's longest river.
The source of a river may be hard to determine because a river typically has many tributaries. Among the many sources, the one that is farthest away from the mouth is considered as the source of the river, thus giving a maximal river length. In practice, the tributary with the farthest source is not always the one given the name of the river. For example, the farthest source of the Mississippi River system is the source of the Jefferson River, a tributary of the Missouri River which in turn is a tributary of the
The mouth of a river may be hard to determine in cases where the river has a large estuary that gradually widens and opens into the ocean; examples are the River Plate and the Saint Lawrence River. Some rivers do not have a mouth; instead they dwindle to very low water volume and eventually evaporate, or sink into an aquifer, or get diverted for agriculture. The exact point where these rivers end will vary seasonally.
The length of a river between source and mouth may be hard to determine because of a lack of precise maps. In these cases, the measured length of a river will depend on the scale of the map on which the measurement is based; in general, due to the fractal quality of a river, the larger the scale, the longer the resulting length measurement. This issue was discovered by Lewis Fry Richardson and also applies when measuring borders between countries and coastlines. Ideally, length measurements should be based on maps that are of a large enough scale to show the width of the river.
Even when precise maps are available, the length measurement is not always clear. A river may have multiple arms. It may depend on whether the center or the edge of the river is taken as reference point. It may not be clear how to measure the length through a lake: this may also vary by season. These points make it difficult, if not impossible, to get a precise measurement of the length of a river or stream.

One should take the aforementioned discussion into account when using the data in the following table. For most rivers, different sources provide conflicting information on the length of a river system. The information in different sources is between parentheses.

Map of the Channel Tunnel.
The British terminal at Cheriton in west Folkestone, from the Pilgrims' Way.
The Channel Tunnel (French: le tunnel sous la Manche), or Chunnel, is a 51.5 km (31 mi) long rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover, connecting Folkestone, Kent in England to Coquelles near Calais in northern France. A megaproject that saw several false starts, it was finally completed in 1994. It is the second-longest rail tunnel in the world, with the Seikan Tunnel in Japan being longer, but the undersea section of 39 km (24 miles) is the longest undersea tunnel in the world. It is operated by Eurotunnel.
