A disaster-relief official says dozens of landslides in the rain-soaked mountains of the northern Philippines have killed an estimated 100 people.Olive Luces, civil defense director for the Cordillera mountain region, says four major mudslides struck late Thursday, burying almost an entire village in La Trinidad town in Benguet province.

Pangasinan provincial Vice Gov. Marlyn Premicias said she was getting frantic text messages from residents asking to be rescued, adding ‘Eastern Pangasinan has become one big river.’Rains and water discharged late Thursday night from a dam in Pangasinan inundated 30 out of 46 towns along the Agno River in the coastal province, said Boots Velasco, the province’s information officer.’There was really heavy rain, so water had to be released from the dam, otherwise it would have been more dangerous,’ said the government’s chief forecaster Nathaniel Cruz. ‘Even our office was flooded and our staff had to move to the rooftop. It’s near the river that they were monitoring.Heavy army trucks could not penetrate the area and Premicias appealed for helicopters and boats to move people out of danger.

The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is a member of the Felidae family with a wide range in some parts of sub Saharan Africa, West Asia, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia to Siberia. Compared to other members of the Felidae, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but is smaller and more slightly built. Its fur is manifest with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard’s rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have innermost spots as the jaguars do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers. The species’ success in the wild is in part due to its opportunistic hunting behavior, its adaptability to habitats, its ability to run at speeds approaching 58 kilometres per hour its unequaled ability to climb trees even when carrying a heavy carcass and its notorious ability for stealth. The leopard consumes virtually any animal that it can hunt down and catch. Its habitat ranges from rainforest to desert terrains. A python is a constricting snake belonging to the python genus, or, more generally, any snake in the family Pythonidae . As we all know that the nature has created a lot of wonedrful creation. We can see so many kinds of creation in this universe. A nature has created a lot of thing with different ability.

One of the creation of the nature is eco system. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment , interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are regarded as linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Here is a video of showing ecosystem. A video in which we can see two wild animals a python and leopard fightin with each other. They fight with each other and both of them try their best to win but as per the rules only one can live who can survive. In this video Leopard gets to survive and kills the python.

Coming to the throne of Nepal at the age of 27 King Birendra (born 1945) sought to emphasize economic development and a decentralization of authority. King Birendra (Bir Bikram Shah Dev) of Nepal was born on December 28, 1945, the eldest son of King Mahendra and Queen Indra. He had two brothers and three sisters, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins in the royal family entourage in and around the palace in Nepal's capital city. Birendra married Aishwarya R.L. Rana on February 23, 1970; they had three children— Crown Prince Dipindra, Prince Nirajan, and Princess Shruti. Birendra was born while the Rana family still dominated the government of Nepal and the royal family was kept under strict surveillence. But the political movement that overthrew the Ranas occurred when the crown prince was only five years old, and his socialization into politics and society in Nepal and abroad was very different from that of his father,

King Mahendra. Birendra's formal education, for instance, was in prestigious schools outside Nepal: St. Joseph's in Darjeeling, India; Eton in England; Harvard University; and the University of Tokyo. In the process, he was exposed to a rich assortment of theories and models on political and economic change in "developing" societies like Nepal, and he demonstrated an open and inquisitive mind on such subjects. King Birendra came to the throne on January 31, 1972, the tenth ruler in the Shah dynasty in Nepal. He quickly demonstrated a different approach to the processes of governance than those adopted by his predecessor, and important changes in both the style and substance of policies were introduced. The preoccupation of King Mahendra with the minutia of political developments anywhere in Nepal was replaced by a new strategy that, in effect, downgraded politics and focussed instead on economic development themes and issues. The objective was to insulate economic programs from the narrow political and interest group concerns that had, supposedly, hampered their implementation under his father. As a necessary accompaniment to this new approach, changes in the entourage of advisors around the king were required. The groups of experienced and politically astute bureaucrats that King Mahendra had used were quickly replaced by younger, well-educated "modernistic" technicians who presumably

would be less inhibited by concerns for traditional familial or caste group interests. A new institution under direct palace supervision was established to do the necessary policy planning, usually with minimal participation by the "narrow" interest groups directly affected by these policies and programs. To manage politics outside of Kathmandu, the BVNC (Back-to-the-Village National Committee) was organized to assure the palace a controlling voice in regional and local councils on development programs. The new approach sounded reasonable, but the results were less than impressive. While few institutions or persons directly challenged the palace coteries, few cooperated with their programs. A number of well-conceived policies in the education, health, and economic fields were adopted, but the officials and institutions that were supposed to implement them were virtually non-operative.By the late 1970s it was clear that some major changes in the palace's approach were necessary. King Birendra took several significant steps to meet the situation. In 1980 he held, on a universal suffrage basis, a popular referendum on the constitution his father had introduced in 1962. The vote went slightly in favor of the existing system, but with reforms. Birendra then introduced several basic changes in the constitution, including provisions for the election of the Rashtriya Panchayat (National Assembly) on a popular but non-party basis and the selection of a prime minister by the Assembly. The Assembly was elected in 1981; one prime minister was elected and then later removed by the Assembly on a non-confidence vote, and another prime minister installed. Thus, the trappings of a democratic parliamentary system were in place in Nepal, but several necessary ingredients were lacking—primarily a legalized political party system.
