When I got to Pyinsa Village at mile post No.27/2 after passing through snaked Mandalay-LashioRoad, the clock struck eight. Patches of mist was stilloverhanging the village. In order to observe roadconstruction between Pyinsa Village and KabyuVillage, I continued my trip.

The road construction is under way by themisty Shan mountain range. Along the road I sawcompletion of laying gravel in some parts and earthenstate in other parts, with the use of machinery andmanpower. Pyinsa-Kabyu Road is 17 miles and onefurlong long and 12 feet wide, in some parts it is wideup to 18 feet.

Grow tea to increaseincome

Blessed with favourable conditions, thewhole nation is benefiting from growing variouscrops. The delta region and plains arecultivating monsoon and summer paddy as amajor crop as well as beans and pulses, edibleoil crops and raw industrial crops. Likewise,cultivation of perennial crops such as tea, coffee,avocado and mango is being extended onhighland regions.

Usually, tea can grow well in highlandregions, more than 3000 feet above sea. ChinState, Shan State and Sagaing Region aregrowing tea suitable to their regions. NamhsanTownship in Shan State (North) grows tea on acommercial scale, accounting for 80 percent oftea cultivation acreage of the whole nation.

Chin State has grown about 10,000 acresof tea and is trying to extend its cultivationacreage. A special tea zone has been establishedin Homalin Township, Sagaing Region, and thevillage-tracts along the Chindwin River aregrowing extensively.

Putao District in Kachin State is growingtea, trying to become a district of tea.Departments concerned are cultivating tea incooperation with local farmers by conductingresearch. So, establishment of commercial-scaletea plantations in combination with technologyand capital can contribute to regional economicdevelopment.

Not only can tea be used as green tea butalso it can be used in cosmetics and personalgoods as a raw material. Efforts will have to bemade to produce marketable tea that is good inquality and quantity.

By establishing commercial-scale teaplantations in highland regions, local nationalscan grow quality tea, thereby increasing theirincome and contributing to regionaldevelopment.

New insights into the moon’s rich geologiccomplexity

NEW YORK, 17 Sept—The moon ismore geologically complex thanpreviously thought, scientists report 17Sept in two papers published in thejournal Science.

Their conclusion is based on datafrom the Diviner Lunar RadiometerExperiment aboard NASA’s LunarReconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), anunmanned mission to comprehensivelymap the entire moon. The spacecraftorbits some 31 miles above the moon’ssurface.

The new data reveal previously

unseen compositional differences in themoon’s crustal highlands and haveconfirmed the presence of materialsurprisingly abundant in silica — acompound containing the chemicalelements silicon and oxygen — in fivedistinct lunar regions. Every mineral,and therefore every rock, absorbs andemits energy with a unique spectralsignature that can be measured to revealits identity. For the first time ever,Diviner is providing scientists withglobal, high-resolution infrared mapsof the moon, which are enabling themto make a definitive identification ofsilicates commonly found within itscrust.

NEW YORK, 17 Sept— All four major US wirelesscarriers will sell an iPad-like tablet computer fromSamsung Electronics Co, the companies said Thursday.Samsung and the service providers — AT&T Inc,Sprint Nextel Corp, T-Mobile USA Inc and VerizonWireless Inc — didn’t say how much the Galaxy Tabwill cost, or exactly when it will be on sale. VerizonWireless said in a statement that it will start selling it“in the coming weeks,” and Sprint said it will do so“this fall.” T-Mobile and AT&T said they plan to sellit this holiday season.

The Galaxy Tab has a 7-inch screen, half the sizeof the iPad. It runs Google Inc’s Android smart phonesoftware and can play Flash video from the Web,which the iPad can’t. It also has two cameras forvideoconferencing, which the iPad lacks. The iPadstarts at $499.

Health tip: Prevent passinggerms

Viruses that cause the common cold or flu arespread in droplets produced when a person coughs orsneezes, a process the US Centres for Disease Controland Prevention calls “droplet spread.”

Virus- or bacteria-laden droplets also can spreaddisease when a person touches a contaminated surface,then touches their own eyes, nose or mouth, the agencysays.

The CDC offers these suggestions to help preventthe spread of germs:

* Always cover your nose and mouth whenyou sneeze or cough. Try to sneeze orcough into a tissue instead of your hands.

* Wash your hands often, and make sure youspend about 20 seconds washing them.That’s about the time it takes to sing “HappyBirthday” twice, the agency notes.

* Carry a bottle of hand sanitizer or hand-sanitizing wipes to wash your handswhen you’re not near a sink.

* Teach children to follow these samepractices.—Internet

It is, therefore,obligatory for political parties to put in the fore“Non-disintegration of the Union, Non-disinte-gration of national solidarity, and Perpetuation ofsovereignty”, to remain loyal to the nation, and toexercise the multiparty democracy system.

The Union Election Commission issuedNotification No. 1/2010 dated 18 March 2010,announcing that political parties that wish tostand for election may apply in line with the lawfor registration. Notification No. 18/2010 dated 9April 2010 says that if political parties that cameinto existence under Article 25 of Political Par-ties Registration Law wish to continue to exist mayapply to the commission within the designatedperiod of 60 days.

Article 25 of Political Parties RegistrationLaw says that if a political party that exists ac-cording to Political Parties Registration Law (Or-dinance No. 4/88 of the State Law and OrderRestoration Council) wishes to continue as a po-litical party, it shall apply to the Union ElectionCommission within the period of 60 days afterthe date this law comes into force. After beinggranted permission by the commission, it may goon in accordance with the provisions of this law.It shall be deemed to have been dissolved auto-matically as a political party if it does not apply.

Article 27 of the law says that PoliticalParties Registration Law (Law No. 4/88 of the

State Law and Order Restoration Council) is re-pealed with this law.

As to repeal of a provision with anotherlaw, Article 14 of 1973 Interpretation Law says thatprovided that a statement is someway prescribed inthe repealed law, it shall be as stated.

Article 25 and Article 27 of 2010 PoliticalParties Registration Law are consistent with theprovisions in the exception of Article 14 of 1973Interpretation Law. So, it is required to abide by theprovisions in Article 25. As prescribed in Article 25,old political parties have to apply to the UnionElection Commission before the deadline to con-tinue to exist. However, Notification No. 97/2010dated 14 September 2010 of the Union ElectionCommission says of the 10 parties stated inParaghaph-1, the following five parties have be-come null and void according to the laws as they didnot apply to continue to exist.

Article 12 of the Union ElectionCommission Law says that the commission andrelevant sub-commissions formed under this lawshall take over existing proceedings of theMultiparty Democracy General ElectionCommission and sub-commissions at all levels.

So, Notification No. 1/2010 was issued forold political parties to apply in accordance withArticle 25 of Political Parties Registration Law (2/2010) to continue to exist. Regarding political par-ties that failed to apply to survive within the dueperiod, Article 25 says the Union Election Com-mission shall announce the list of the politicalparties that have been granted permission to regis-ter as political parties, and the list of the politicalparties that have been revoked from the list ofelectoral registration and that have been revoked aspolitical parties. On the ground of that fact theUnion Election Commission issued NotificationNo. 97/2010 dated 14 September 2010, announc-ing, “Of the 10 parties stated in Paragraph-1, thefollowing five parties have become null and voidaccording to the law as they did not apply forcontinued existence as political parties withinthe prescribed days. As those parties no longerhave the right to continued existence as politicalparties, their registrations have been revokedand they have been dissolved.”

Nonetheless, a party that did not applywithin the prescribed period to continue to existis claiming that it has not been null and void;and that the Union Election Commission doesnot have any authority to announce the dissolu-tion of an old political party. Indeed, the partyis turning a blind eye to the provisions of thelaw and is just attempting to mislead the peopleinto misunderstanding the law.

It has come to the knowledge of the peoplethat the party is abetting the people to protest againstthe elections by boycotting the elections. The right tovote and the right not to cast votes in elections if acitizen does not want to are prescribed in Article (b)of Criminal Law 171-A, and in Hluttaws ElectionLaw say that electoral right means the right of aperson to stand, or not to stand as, or to withdrawfrom being as a candidate or to vote or refrain fromvoting at an election. If a person cheats people toprotest against elections, he uses undue influenceto prevent a person exercising the voting right andthe right to stand for election. So, such a personviolates Article 57 of Hluttaw Election Law. Article57 of Hluttaw Election Law says, “Whoever isfound guilty of violence, threat, undue influence,cheating, taking or giving of bribes to prevent aperson from exercising the right of voting and theright to stand for election, shall, on conviction bepunishable with imprisonment for a term not ex-ceeding one year or with fine not exceeding onehundred thousand kyats or with both.” Article 58(d) of Hluttaw Election Law says that whoever isfound guilty of giving speeches at meetings, insti-gation, writing, distributing or using posters orattempting by other means to disturb the voting orsuch acts shall, on conviction be punishable withinimprisonment for a term not exceeding one year orwith fine not exceeding one hundred thousandkyats or with both.

In reality, attempting to disrupt electionsdesigned to introduce multiparty democracy sys-tem to satisfy the aspiration of the people meansshowing disregard for the people’s desire. Doingsuch acts without or with knowledge is associatedwith breach of the provisions of the law. So, thepeople are urged to abide by the law.

Otters in Calif falling prey to sharksSACRAMENTO, 17

Sept— California wildlifeofficials say they collecteda record number of seaotters killed or injured byshark bites off the state’scoast in August.

Seven more inSeptember have beenadded to the total of 19 forlast month, a Departmentof Fish and Game releasesaid. The 10-year averagefor August is seven,officials said.

Scientists say theybelieve cooler-than-average oceantemperatures from anunusually mild summerare creating an idealcondition for whitesharks.

“White sharks do nottypically feed on seaotters,” Michael Harris, aDFG environmentalscientist, said.

“Their preferred preyis seals and sea lions. Thiswould explain why themajority of the otterscollected have a single bitemark. These bites are moreinvestigative like a tastetest.” White sharks inhabitmostly cold, temperateseas with a surfacetemperature of 50 to 72degrees Fahrenheit. Asthey grow, they transitionfrom feeding on fish asjuveniles to feeding onmarine mammals likeseals and sea lions.

Pilot error, faulty maintenancecause 2008 Air NZ crash

PARIS, 17 Sept—French civil aviationinvestigation agency BEAannounced Thursday the2008 crash of an Air NewZealand Airbus 320 wascaused by pilot errors andfaulty maintenance.

The France-basedBureau of Enquiry andAnalysis for CivilAviation Safety (BEA)published its final reporton the crash, whichoccurred during a testflight in France, killing allseven people on board.

According to the finalreport, five NewZealanders and twoGermans, all profes-

sionals, made more thanone error in maneuvringat low speed and lowaltitude before they finallylost control of the plane.

The report also linkedthe crash to cleaning doneby Perpignan’s EuropeAero Services Industries(EAS) the night before thefatal flight, sayingincorrect wash of the planecaused a block to animportant instrument.

An interim reportissued last year by BEAsaid a combination of piloterror and faulty sensorsmay have caused thecrash.

Earlier this year,

French prosecutorsconducting a separatecriminal investigationinto the accidentestimated that “aninappropriate test, inunsuitable conditions,with a manoeuvre carriedout in an unpreparedmanner” jointly doomedthe crew.

The Airbus 320crashed into theMediterranean off Canet-en-Roussillon on 27November, 2008, as it wascoming in to land atPerpignan Airport, insouthern France.
