  • Of 2 19Th August 2012 Chorus Against FAC Members Gets Louder The
    Chorus against FAC members gets louder The newly-constituted Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) by the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) has kicked up a controversy over the choice of two of its independent members, who have been alleged to have a clear interest in mining and hydroelectricity. It’s their conflict of interest that has led environmentalists to be up in arms against the duo’s selection. The FAC is the statutory body that decides on key issues related to diversion of forest land for road, mining and other development projects in the country. In a letter (dated August 20), written to Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan, a large number of environmentalists have urged her to immediately cancel the appointments of two of its members KP Nyati and Prof NP Todria as independent members of the FAC and reconstitute the committee. Human urine can be used to reduce pollution Apart from oceans, soil, rocks and trees, human and animal urine can also absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and help reduce pollution, says a Spanish researcher. Absorbing CO2 and other greenhouse gases in cities would require millions of tonnes of some naturally occurring substance. Urine is produced in large quantities and is close to the pollution hubs of large cities. “For every molecule of urea in urine, one mole (a unit to measure the quantity of a substance) of ammonium bicarbonate is produced along with one mole of ammonia that could be used to absorb one mole of atmospheric CO2,” said study author Manuel Jimenez Aguilar, the Journal of Hazardous Materials reports.

Mentioning this at the inauguration of the 99th Indian Science Congress, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh lauded the Koraput tribals for the achievement. He honoured Raita Maduli and Chandra Pradhan of Koraput for preserving the traditional agricultural system of the region. The recognition of the Koraput Traditional Agricultural System as a GIAHS site is expected to guarantee local and international efforts for the conservation of biodiversity and sustainable use of its genetic resources. • Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi became Yemen's new president on 26 February, formally removing autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh from power. • Iran on 15 February 2012 launched three nuclear projects including a fourth generation Ultra Centrifuge, which is capable of enriching the Uranium faster than its earlier models.

  • RYMCO Newsletter
    Letter from the Chairman Time has long been the measure of existence. After pondering over this universally debated notion that fascinates me personally, I came to the simple belief that time can be defined by three simple terms: Past, Present and the Future. Reflecting on the Past, I can only remember the ambition, the effort, the results, and achievements. I am very proud of the years that have passed, and particularly 2013, as RYMCO has outperformed once again with important successful milestones, awards, recognitions and certificates received in the last year. The first quarter of 2013 brought a leisure division, RYMCO Powersports, with a flagship showroom in the Mathaf area. We launched the location with several new brand models from Kawasaki and the introduction of Peugeot Scooters, a new brand acquisition for the company. Following this success came another one, the Pathfinder and Sentra event, which was the highlight of my year. We launched these prominent mod- els on the roof of our headquarters in Chiyah, completely transforming it into a venue that hosted over 400 VIP guests. In line with our long commitment to the environment, came the launch of the zero-emission Nissan Leaf as the pinnacle of the event. By the end of the year, we successfully launched the All-New Nissan Tiida in the latest RYMCO showroom in Verdun. Since its launch in 2006, the Nissan Tiida is the most established model in its category in Lebanon, selling more than 14,000 units to date. With its new design and innovation, I am confident that its numbers will continue to grow.

The proposal should include an outline of the pre- and post- awards show activities, an itinerary of the 3-day film awards program, and a media engagement plan that will create awareness of Vancouver and British Columbia to global Indian travellers.
