"Cloning is an advanced technological invention for producing a genetic twin of a living thing, an organism that starts life with the same genes as its parents. In mammals, DNA is taken from an adult animal and then it is inserted into an egg cell from another animal. This egg then divides into an embryo. The embryo is then transplanted into a surrogate mother and grown to term. This process has worked in animals like cows, sheep, goats, mice, pigs, rats, cat, monkeys, and horses." The opponents of human cloning say that an embryo at any stage of development is a human life. worthy of protection and any kind of research that entails destroying an embryo is immoral, unethical, no matter how worthy the intent may be. It involves using human beings as means; it turns human life into a commodity and fosters a culture of dehumanization.

Siachen must be the strategically most bizarre and futile struggle in the world. Only India and Pakistan would waste lives and hundreds of crores of rupees on it every year. Some in the military argue that controlling Siachen is vital for the security of Kashmir and that Indian presence at Siachen usefully threatens the China-Pakistan Karakoram Highway. Given that hardly anyone can move through the glacier with falling into a crevasse or bursting his lungs and given that the Karakoram Highway is 200 km away, this is absurd. The Pm should forthrightly tell the military that this is complete strategic nonsense and that we should stop sacrificing the lives of jawans in this absurdity. India and Pakistan need to add substance to mostly symbolic diplomacy. Siachen would be a good place to being the march towards substance. Pakistan, for its part, must unequivocally give India MN status. Sir Creek Should be next on the list of substantial problem solving; this also was nearly solved in 1993. Then PM and his Pakistani counterpart need to shore up symbolic with real courage and resolve what is resolvable to create the base the base for a Kashmir settlement in the future.

Direction: The psychological causes of unhappiness, it is clear, are many and various, but all have something in common. The typical unhappy man, is one who, having been deprived in youth of some normal satisfaction, has come to value this one kind of satisfaction more than any other and has therefore given to his life a one-sided direction, together with a quite undue emphasis upon the achievement as opposed to the activities connected with it. There is, however, a further development which is very common in the present day. A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of ‘pleasure'. This is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.

Floriculture can be defined as the art and knowledge of growing flowers to perfection. Department of agriculture and co-operation under the Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organization responsible for development of the floriculture sector. It is responsible for formulation and implementation of national policies and programmes aimed at achieving rapid agricultural growth through optimum utilization of land, water, soil and plant resources of the country. It also includes production of planting materials through seeds, cuttings, budding and grafting. Production of cut flowers for exports is also a thrust area for support. Researchers' key focus areas are crop improvement, standardization of agro-techniques including improved propagation methods, plant protection and post harvest management. In recent years, however, technologies for protected cultivation and tissue culture for mass propagation have also received attention. A large number of promising varieties of cut flowers have been developed

It is not luck but labor that makes a man. Luck says an American writer, is every waiting for something to turn up; labor with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something . Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labor turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labor watches. Luck relies on chance, labor on character. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence; labor strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction, therefore,
is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words, that a man's success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things.
