[efloraofindia:66383] Suggested financial reform to unleash massive spending for agriculture and forestry and renewable energy
the unemployed are finding it impossible to secure borrowing due to restrictions, requirement of guarantees, directors security requirements etc etc. Thus the time of the borrowing and lending paradigm is over. The time of spending and retaining money in the country and in the village and town ward for development has come. -- References [1] Slightly rephrased for Indian situation from Big Change - James Robertson looks forward to a money system transformed - Review of The Money Changers: currency reform from Aristotle to e-cash by David Boyle (Earthscan, London, 2002) - £17.95.

After an inspiring talk by Mr and Mrs Manjunath on why we are still engaged in the freedom struggle today, the discussion on social media technology networks was most inspiring. For the convocation resolution and all the presentations see today's blog. For some ideas for the development of social media technology networks see http://thegreenpartyofindia.org.in/forum/topics/are-you-in-need-of-proper-newshttp://thegreenpartyofindia.org.in/forum/topics/are-you-in-need-of-proper-news?xg_source=msg_mes_network It was fun to see how it linked with selling carbon credits too - we must use innovative technology solutions for intertwined issues: disseminating home-grown analysis, selling rural products and disseminating rural news. I urge you to get in touch with me if you want to work with me as citizen journalist or give me one citizen journalist from your group to work with. I will train him or her to work with me and develop the state news networks. Let us have one laptop with dongle in every village in India to counter the corporate media and hear our own analysis of the origins of poverty, misery, pollution and inequality based on our own issues, struggles and solutions. Networking through social media technology networks will help us find innovative solutions to overcome all obstacles.

Re: [efloraofindia:60025] Fruits Vegetables Week: Fragaria vesca from Kashmir
referring to separable from high altitude species F. nubicola in its spreading pubescence and elongated fruit -- there were definitely two distinct types even in the low parts of switz where i remember them from - it must be F. vesca then that has the beautiful conical fruit, sweeter than the elongated one -- and the birds and snails always quick to get to them - the elongated ones always seemed a bit harder and left alone by the competition -- probably because they never seemed to be really ripe. but i do not have any photos of either :) really amazing that these alpine plants are found in all places where conditions are similar. well. i guess natural and a matter of fact for botanists. wonderful to think about for us civilians. :) and even more wonderful still for anyone who can find and eat one ! :) On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 7:09 PM, tanay bose tanaybos...@gmail.com wrote: This indeed Fragaria vesca woodland strawberry !!

Re: [efloraofindia:59952] Alstonia scholaris in fruit
i started trying to figure out the logic in the number of leaves on each compound leaf. 6 on some twigs, repeated, if there are 7 then this is also repeated on the next level, others have 9. then i googled and found alstonia scholaris used in a scientific paper to model a virtual tree. after applying the procedure the author says the difference between the model constructed from our system and the target plant remains. this is because of the complexity in nature which [sic] the random could not easily interpreted and calculated by humans. (p.6). i still have not found anything about the maths underlying the number of leaves on compound leaves as the tree grows. so i offer this link as a small contribution to the stories instead. my conclusion: it must be this gap between what would be mathematically perfect and what is, that makes nature so perfect. :) http://bioquest.org/products/files/13157_Real-time%203D%20Plant%20Structure%20Modeling%20by%20L-System.pdf On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 10:12 AM, Pankaj Kumar sahanipan...@gmail.com wrote: I dont know, may be the leaves are insect repellent.
