Gut bacteria picky aboutwhat we eat

CHICAGO, 2 Sept—, Gut bacteria — colonies ofbacteria that live in the human digestive tract —appear to have fairly picky dining habits, with onetype preferring high-fat, fast-food fare, and anotherpreferring a high-fiber feast, US researchers said onThursday. Researchers are increasingly trying tounderstand the interplay of bacteria and their humanhosts.

“We know our human bodies are colonized withtons and tons of bacteria and other organisms. Inyour colon alone, you have more bacterial cells thanyou have human cells in your whole body,” said DrJames Lewis, a researcher at the University of Penn-sylvania, who worked on the study published in thejournal Science.

Last April, German researchers reported thatgut bacteria fall into three distinct types. Lewis’team wanted to see how these different types of gutbacteria affect human health.

LOS ANGELES, 2 Sept—A 3.6-million-year-oldwoolly rhinoceros fossil discovered in Tibet indicatesthat some giant mammoths, sloths and saber-tooth catsmay have evolved in highlands before the Ice Age,experts say.

Paleontologists from the Natural History Museumof Los Angeles County and the Chinese Academy ofSciences, who found the rhino’s complete skull andlower jaw in 2007, argue that it adapted to the globalcooling before it happened.

In a paper to be published Friday in the journal“Science,” they will argue that the rhinos evolved in thecold and snowy Tibetan highlands while the rest of theworld was much warmer.

The animal developed special adaptations —including a flat horn useful for sweeping snow away tofind vegetation — and then was able to spread tonorthern Asia and Europe once the Ice Age set in 2.6million years ago.

“The extinction of Ice Age giants such as woollymammoths and rhinos, giant sloths, and saber-tooth catshas been widely studied, but much less is known aboutwhere these giants came from,” the researchers said ina statement.

“The Tibetan Plateau may have been another cradleof the Ice Age giants.”

In addition to the woolly rhino, the team alsouncovered extinct species of three-toed horse, Tibetanbharal — also known as blue sheep — and some 25other kinds of mammals. “Cold places, such as Tibet,Arctic, and Antarctic, are where the most unexpecteddiscoveries will be made in the future,” said XiaomingWang, from the Natural History Museum of Los AngelesCounty. “These are the remaining frontiers that are stilllargely unexplored.”

HTC announces two newHTC announces two newHTC announces two newWindows Phone 7 devicesthe Titan and Radar

NEW YORK, 2 Sept—HTC unveiled a pair ofWindows Phone 7 devices in Berlin. We heardrumours about these phones with different names,and without much information about what eachphone offered. The phones have been dubbed theTitan and Radar. The Radar appears to be a mid-ranged phone for smartphone shoppers, and theTitan is a high-end flagship device. Both phoneswill come with WP7 Mango pre-installed, but norelease date was given.

Let’s start with the Titan which is more excitingin most every way. The most notable feature of theTitian is the massive 4.7inch super LCD screen.Granted it is smaller than Samsung’s new GalaxyNote, but it will have one of the largest screensavailable on a phone ever. HTC also packed in a1.5gigahertz single core processor, 8megapixelrear camera, and 1.3megapixal front facing camera.On paper the biggest possible issue we can see willbe the screen’s resolution, which is VGA quality at800×480.

The Radar is still a large device measuring in at3.8inches of glass wrapped in aluminum. Thespecs are also reduced compared to the Titan witha 1gigahertz processor, 5 megapixel rear camera,and no specs released for the front camera but weknow there is one.

The Radar shares the same screen resolutionsince all WP7 devices have to be at 800×480resolution.—Internet

WASHINGTON, 2 Sept—Space junk has made such a mess of Earth’s orbitthat experts say we may need to finally think about cleaning it up.That may mean vacuuming up debris with weird space technology —cosmic versions of nets, magnets and giant umbrellas, according to thechairman of an expert panel that issued a new report on the problemThursday.There are 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough forofficials on the ground to track and countless more smaller onesthat could do damage to human- carrying spaceships and valuablesatellites. The International Space Station has to move out of the wayof debris from time to time. “We’ve lost control of the environment,” saidretired NASA senior scientist Donald Kessler,who headed the NationalAcademy of Sciences report.

Since the space age began 54 years ago,civilization has littered the area just above Earth’satmosphere with leftover boosters and other partsthat come off during laun- ches, as well as oldsatellites. When scientists noticed that this could be a problem, they came up with agreements to limit newspace junk and those plans had been working.

Those agreements are intended to make sure what is sent into orbit eventually falls back to Earth andburns up. But two events in the past four years — a 2007 Chinese anti-satellite weapon test and a 2009crash-in-orbit of two satellites — put so much new junk in space that everything changed, the report said.The widely criticized Chinese test used a missile to smash an aging weather satellite into 150,000 piecesof debris larger than four-tenths of an inch (1 centimetre) and 3,118 pieces can be tracked by radar on theground, the report said.—Internet

Second regular session offirst Pyithu Hluttaw...

(from page 1)service personnel in global countries, someneighbouring countries of Myanmar prescribedretirement age at 55 and 60 years and some Europeancountries at 65. In general, most of the global countriesprescribed 60 years old for retirement of servicepersonnel.

As a plan in France is under way to raise the agelimit to take superannuation pension from 60 to 62years of age, personnel and workers joined thedemonstrations for many days. Indeed, Franceintended to solve problem of inadequate of pensionfunds by extending the age limit. India has planned toreduce age limit of superannuation pension from 65to 60 years of age, and all the workers and socialsecurity boards welcome it. Prescribing thesuperannuation pension depends on lifespan of thepeople of respective countries. In Myanmar, men ofurban areas are in 65.1 years of lifespan on averageand women, 70.5 years. In the rural areas, men enjoy63.9 years of lifespan and women, 67.4 years onaverage. Central Statistical Organization shows itssurvey on lifespan of men at 64.5 years, women at 69years and average of men and women at 66.8 years.As such, if compared with 66 years old of lifespan formen and women in Myanmar, prescription of agelimit at 60 years for existing superannuation pensionis still reasonable. Therefore, he replied that there is noplan to raise the age limit of State service personnel forsuperannuation pension.

U Aye Mauk of Mahlaing Constituency raised aquestion. As AFTA will be practiced in 2015, heasked how the State will make preparations toprotect its products especially industries andagricultural produce, and he would like to knowpossible pros and cons. Union Minister for NationalPlanning and Economic Development U Tin NaingThein said that the ASEAN initiated to establishAFTA beginning 1992. The association will practiseASEAN Economic Community (AEC 2015) in 2015.As Myanmar needs to protect its products like otherASEAN member countries, departments concerned,local authorities and commerce and industryassociations are continuously holding the educativetalks and making preparations. It is necessary toprotect producers of the nation against impacts fromimported commodities. In the time of previousgovernment, the Ministry of Industry-1 and theMinistry of Industry-2 led formation of the MyanmarIndustrial Development Committee for developmentof small- and medium-scale businesses so as tomanufacture domestic products like that of othercountries, saving production cost and ensuring betterquality. In the private sector, efforts were made to

seek investments and technology in connection withinternational community. Entrepreneurs of Yangonindustrial zones and departments concerned heldseminars for AFTA severally as well as coordinationin detail on seeking the ways for protection againstimpacts on factories and workshops individually.Moreover, encouragement was given to decliningproduction cost and uplifting quality for agriculturalproduce.

The government held the National Workshop onReforms for National Economic Development and isstriving for implementation of the reformation processof the State. The workshop discussed are cooperationbetween the government and private sectors to protectMyanmar products in the AFTA. The governmentdepartments and associations are cooperating to seekinvestment and technology. The State formscompanies, associations and brokerages forcompetitive production cost, transport cost, packagingand quality, and production chain to be able tocompete in foreign markets. Both advantages anddisadvantages will be seen after emergence of AFTAin the nation. The weak country may suffer loss; and

the strong country may enjoy benefit. Hence, highcapability of traders is very important. It is necessary toestablish safe guard mechanism for domestic productsagainst the imported cheaper products with low quality.Hence, filter group is scrutinizing import licences at theMinistry of Commerce. However, as opportunity willbe created for flow of free trade in ASEAN regionbeginning 2015. According to the National Workshopon Reforms for National Economic Development heldrecently, scrutiny of licence will be relieved in thefuture. Although the government will scrutinize andprotect productions and businesses of the people in allaspects in the future, the entrepreneurs and traders arealso to lead the associations for abiding by the economicethics to be able to serve the interests of the people andthe nation.

Only when national entrepreneurs invest more athome, will preparation and protection be carried out.Not to harm the national interest, action was takenagainst some investments for incorrect submission offoreigner investors under the names of citizen andincorrect amount of investment. Scrutiny process isnot intended to delay economic activities assumed bysome local entrepreneurs but it focuses on the nationalinterest. All entrepreneurs are not to follow themalpractices of foreigner investors working inpartnership with them, but dutifully participate inscrutiny process for serving the national interest. In2015 when the AFTA will emerge, Myanmar willmake efforts for seeking markets for its products byreducing production cost, uplifting production quality,adjusting tax rates after reviews and recliningunacceptable transactional costs not to harm industrialand agricultural products. Relevant ministries, private

associations and entrepreneurs are to join hands incarrying out the above mentioned tasks.

U Aung Thein Lin of South OkkalapaConstituency asked whether the government has aplan to provide loans with crops in storage as

Agriculture MechanizationDepartment is providing land-preparingservice, the most fundamental work incultivation by lending stated-ownedtractors to farmers; that AgricultureMechanization Department was firstestablished in 1962 with 2000 tractorsfor transformation of mechanized farmingsystem and the number of tractors wasdoubled later; that the department sellstractors to farmers on installments but itcurrently has only 2350 units of tractorsbecause it could not refill the gap left byold damaged tractors; that it is still fulfillingland-preparing needs of farmers with2350 tractors based in 101 tractor-stations.

spillway and the motor road on eitherside of the bridge as embankment.

The Union Minister pointed outthat floods in Wundwin was not causedby Wundwin Diversion Weir but constantpiling of silt in Shawbin Creek, whichleads top rising of creek bed, andinsufficient number of conduits onbridges on inter-village roads,

He added that in preventing againstfloods in Wundwin, works are to beprioritized according to survey carriedout by Irrigation Department; thatdredging of sand land above WundwinDiversion Weir, dredging of silt in thecreek on Wundwin-Leinpin street;deepening and widening of ditches,expanding of current water way,constructing embankments, constructingof sluice gates will be done dependingon the allocation of the State and incoordination with local authoritiesconcerned and township developmentaffairs committee.

Regarding the question raised byU Win Thein of Ayeyawady RegionConstituency No. 9 “whether there is aplan to renovate Kawtthalaingembankment and take measure forbetter water flow in the creeks nearbythe dam in Pantanaw-KyonpyawTownship”, Construction ofKawtthalaing embankment started inKyonpyaw Township of AyeyawadyRegion in 1994 and completed in 1995.The embankment which is 3 miles lengthand 10 feet in height, and its uppersurface is 12 feet wide is under thecontrol of farmers. The embankmentranges from Khayaykan village to Danawvillage and prevents 27,000 acres ofmonsoon and summer paddy plantationsfrom flooding.

Kawtthalaing embankment hadthree breaches in 2009. Under theleadership of the Danaw Villageadministrator, villagers carried out repairworks with the assistance of IrrigationDepartment. According to allocation ofState fund, measures will be taken fordurability of the embankment when openseason comes in.

The IrrigationDepartment will undertake constructionand installation projects so as to let thepower reach the switch yard. Measureswill be taken to extend cable from theswitch yard to Kwinkauk Village as aregional plan.

Union Minister for Livestock andFisheries U Tin Naing Thein replied thequestion of Dr Aye Maung of RakhineState Constituency (1) “whether thereis a plan for amendment to FreshwaterFisheries Law and Myanmar MarineFisheries Law” that Freshwater FisheriesLaw (1991) and Myanmar MarineFisheries Law (1990) are not agreeableto present situation. So, those two lawsare combined as Comprehensive UnionFisheried Law and amendment bill wassubmitted to Attorney-General’s Officeto get remarks.

Tender fishing areas were set up infreshwater areas of Rakhine State since1989-90. In practical, managementauthority was vested in the state dependingon pragmatic situation of the people.Selling tender fishing areas is to preventdisputes among fishermen fishingabundant fishes in common area, preventfish extinction due to disorderly fishing,manage systematic measures for fishingand levy deserved tax.

According to Paragraph 2 (e) ofChapter 1 mentioned in FreshwaterFisheries Law, tender fishing areas in 14townships in Rakhine State weretendered. Thandwe, Taungup and Gwatownships remained as common fishingareas as they are offshore fishing watersaccording to Myanmar Marine FisheriesLaw.

According to Article 256 (a) and(b) of the Constitution of the Republic ofthe Union of Myanmar, Ministry ofLivestock and Fisheries transferredmanagement authority to the RakhineState Government with letter number 1/200 (Nya)/5100/1 (1564/2011) dated20-4-2011. With it, arrangements forselling tender fishing areas were carriedout under the supervision of the RakhineState Government. The Rakhine StateGovernment set reverse price for tenderfishing area.

Most of fishermen have knownabout price list of licence as the offices oftownship have informed local fishermenof the price list as of 1989-1990. But thestate dealt with complaints about tendertaken and asking for more money forlicence.

Fisheries Department has issuedlicence charges list for fishing equipmentwith letter No. 5/2003 and posted the listsat the offices of Fisheries Department tolet fishermen know. Related townshipFisheries Departments in Rakhine Statehave given educative talks on resourceconservation to villages and made field

trips to disseminate knowledge of tenderfishing firms, common fishing firms,fisheries laws, rules and regulations,restrictions, punishments and manageablefishing. In addition, the department letfishermen know about rules of the tendersystem before tender and explainedunclear facts. It is found that there arethose finding fishes on a manageablescale and rural people finding for cookingas well as fishermen every nook andcranny in Rakhine State without payingtax.

There were no any problemsduring fishing season from 1989-1990to 2010. With today’s growingpopulation, fishing business is popularfor many people. It is needed to takemeasures to deal with problemsreasonably arising from businesscompetition between businessmen andlocals and oddjobbers. And regionalauthorities, entrepreneurs and localsneeded to retake account of weak andstrong points of common fishing systemand tender fishing area for decent earningand regional development.

As the question about designatingthe period of common fishing area raisedby U Aye Maung is now within thereach of the state government levelaccording to the Constitution of theRepublic of the Union of Myanmar, hejust needs to submit that question to thestate government and to review regionaleconomy, regional fish resource, use offishing equipment and number of fishingboats, needs of local people.Cooperative group comprisingadministrators, entrepreneurs, scholars,responsible persons from FisheriesDepartment and departmental officialsneeds to review every matter case bycase and then submit to related stategovernment. The Union Minister willcoordinate and attend to the needs.

(from page 9)U Aung Nyein of Magway Region Constituency

No. 2 in his discussion said that it is required for theState to extend jade and gems sector more in order tostand as a jade and gems producing country andmarketplace for lighting up glory of the country.

U Poe Yal Aung Thein of Kayah StateConstituency No. 8 in his discussion said that as thepeople are enjoying handsome earning by producingjade and gems at blocks on their own laying under theown country, they would not continue to practiceillegal money-making way and enjoy fruitful results.

U Ye Myint of Bago Region Constituency No. 4discussed that the people can embrace opportunity ofrunning jade and gems exploration business becauseblocks are designated as one acre ones. So, they do notneed a large amount of money to invest in it.

U J Yaw Wu of Kachin State ConstituencyNo. 12 in his discussion said that as gems blocks arefertile, perennial and short-term trees can be grownafter exploration to help earn more money fromagriculture. As growing trees means environmentalconservation, they will benefit from growing trees.

U Khat Htain Nan of Kachin State ConstituencyNo. 1 discussed that economic status of the State andsocial life the people will be relatively higher by takingsteps through modern technology in a systematic way.

Concerning the proposal, Union Minister forMines U Thein Htaik said that in order to prevent thosewho own huge capital from taking over the jade andgems business and to encourage those who has lesscapital to play a part in the business, 15,266 conductingblocks, 5030 designated blocks, 1727 vacant blocksand 221 joint venturing blocks were designated. Out ofthem, there are 221 blocks which are running jointventure with the State and 20,29 private blocks. Jointventure blocks are designated ranging from 1 to 50acres, and private blocks are set as one acre.

International-level Jade, Gems and Pearl Sales isheld in Nay Pyi Taw, capital of Myanmar, three timesa year—March, June/July and October. Tender forUtility jade (c) and (d) is conducted once a year atwhich local gems entrepreneurs can purchase inMyanmar currency. Such tender show will be held forlocal and foreign gems entrepreneurs in foreigncurrency for once. At present, as there is no potentialdemand for jade, holding sales once a month will notbe possible. So, efforts are being made to holdinternational-standard sales on a grand scale year onyear.

Under the guideline on Jade, Gems and PearlSales of the Union Government, Ministry of Mines willcooperate with Myanmar Gems EntrepreneursAssociation to gain achievement in works, and takemeasure with added momentum with international-standard to strengthen the already achieved market.

It is found that violation of agreement, andfailing to pay money as mentioned in the agreement bymerchants who get permission for purchase aftersigning. So, it is required to take deposit from purchasermore and more and other necessary measures.

In currently paying system, 10 per cent are to bepaid in advance within 30 days and full payment is tobe within 60 days. Other required steps will be takenaccording to time and circumstance.

In order to produce jade, gems, high-price jewelryand value-added wares, Jade Zone will be set up in NayPyi Taw, and project is now under way. Efforts arebeing made to build infrastructural buildings for localand foreign gems merchants and sculpture artists.

In jade and gems exploration sector,entrepreneurs after paying tax for blocks will be able to

sell their products at Jade, Gems and Pearl Salesorganized by the State and in other areas except borderareas. The joint-venture companies are permitted tosell only at the jade sales organized by the State. Afterpaying 10 % of the income from sales as tax to the State,they can share 40 % by 60 % of the remaining incomefrom sales with the State.

As part of efforts for environmental conservationin the jade and gems lands, trees are planted and forestreserves are established in accordance with the rulesand regulations. The Pyithu Hluttaw made decision tochange the proposal to the question.

Afterwards, four representatives seconded theproposal that “the Union Government is urged toreclaim more vacant and virgin land for farmland”submitted by U Myint Tun of Bago RegionConstituency No. 10.

In his discussion, Union Minister for Agricultureand Irrigation U Myint Hlaing said not to lose anddecrease the number of farmland, the ministry hasbeen making efforts in accordance with the provisionsof the existing law related to farmland. Besides, theministry has been encouraging the agriculturalmechanization and irrigation systems. The ministryhas reclaimed vacant and virgin land for farmland withthe use of machinery as much as possible.

To create job opportunities for people, the Statehas charged farmers just 100 kyats per acre for insurance.However, it is found that because of some opportunistswho own a lot of farmland without doing farming,those at home and abroad who want to invest in theagricultural sector miss the opportunities to do business,causing job opportunity loses for the people, the UnionMinister for Agriculture and Irrigation said.

Therefore, the notification No. 67/2011 wasissued on 12 August, 201, announcing formation ofthe central committee for managing vacant and virginland. The central committee has been drawing the draftof new rules and regulations which are agreeable to thecurrent time and has planned to introduce the draft tothe hluttaw.

The State has increased the agricultural loans forfarmers from K20000 to K 40000 per care.

Therefore, farmers should use the loanseffectively and to avoid improper practices includinggambling. Besides, micro-credit syndicates have beenestablished to lend cash to farmers with the aim ofboosting production and agricultural produce.

The Union Minister also stressed the need forcooperation among the people to achieve success inthe micro-credit schemes across the country.

Managers of the Myanmar AgricultureDevelopment Bank has taken responsibilities forbringing loans to the hands of farmers in time, andanyone can complain to the ministry or the authoritiesin regions and states about corruptions or briberyrelated to the granting loans so that the ministry cantake actions against those who commit malpractices.

He also urged the farmers to spend the loans onfarming effectively with the aim of boosting agriculturalproducts and urged representatives to lend the helpinghands to the ministry in an attempt to fight the corruptionand bribery.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation haseducated farmers to know the scientific agriculturalmethods, he said.

Moreover, to be able to effectively disseminatethe farmers, the ministry has a plan to expand theprogromme for educating farmers through the MyanmarRadio and Television (MRTV) apart from the ministry’snews journal which is published every two weeks.

The ministry has carried out its five tasks set foragricultural development. They are using high qualitystrains, applying scientific agricultural methods, rightuse inputs including irrigation and fertilizer, taking

measures for minimizing wastages from growing toharvest and finding ways for making strong market forcrops, he said. The Amyotha Hluttaw made decision towithdraw the proposal.

Afterwards, U Swe Aung of Yangon RegionConstituency No (12) submitted a proposal that “theUnion Government is urged to choose way of peacenegotiations not to damage Our Three Main NationalCauses in making efforts to solve the armed conflictsand to make peace and ceasefire.” A representativeseconded the proposal.

Regarding the proposal, Union Minister forInformation U Kyaw Hsan said armed conflicts brokeout after gaining independence due to dogmatism,sectarianism and racism and instigation of imperialists.The successive governments have tried to solve theproblem. However, they did not have much success init. During the time of the Tatmadaw Government, waysbased on understanding and good-will were practicedto make peace with the armed groups and peace andtranquility prevailed across the country. However,when the transition process for making eternal peacehave carried out according to the constitution, someethnic armed groups have not accepted the transitionprocess and still, there are some ethnic armed groups atborder areas.

Still, there are disputes and armed conflicts in thetime of the current government of the Republic for theUnion Myanmar. But, the government does not wantto see conflicts and bloodshed, but peace. Thegovernment has understood that all the people wantpeace. Therefore, the President said that thegovernment would show its benevolent attitude tothose who still do not accept the Seven-Step RoadMap and the State constitution until they cooperatewith the government in the national interests. ThePresident also invited those who have different viewsfrom the government to work for common goals inthe national interests. He also said that the governmenthave opened the door to peace for the armed groupswho still do not accept the constitution in the interestsof the State and people.

Today, to show the benevolent attitude, thegovernment has carried out tasks for easing taxreforming macro-economic policies, implementingeight tasks for macro-economy, amendment, additionand revoke in the legislation sector, raising pensionrates, reforms in education and health sectors, reformingand improvement of international relations, cooperationin political arena in accordance with the constitutionand reforming in other sectors.

Besides, the government will make peacetalks with the armed groups to solve the problem ofarmed conflicts and with this end in view thegovernment has also already issued theannouncement No. 1/2011 on 18 August, 2011,offering olive branch to armed groups.

WASHINGTON, 2 Sept—A new study has shedlight on how we perceive taste, showing that fourof our basic tastes—sweet, bitter, salty, and“umami,” or savory—are processed by distinctareas of the brain.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute and NIHscientists found that each taste, from sweet tosalty, is sensed by a unique set of neurons in thebrains of mice.

The findings demonstrate that neurons thatrespond to specific tastes are arranged discretelyin what the scientists call a “gustotopic map.”

This is the first map that shows how taste isrepresented in the mammalian brain.

“This work further reveals coding in the tastesystem via labelled lines, and it exposes the basiclogic for the brain representation of the last of theclassical five senses,” said Howard HughesMedical Institute investigator Charles S Zuker.
