What Are Assets?
Concept Of Prepaid Expenses (Assets)
Cost Principle And Conservatism
Depreciation Of Assets
The balance sheet is a financial statement that lists a company's assets, liabilities, and stockholders (or owners') equity at a certain time point.
You can call the balance sheet a "snapshot" of a company's financial situation at a given time because it only shows how things are at a single moment.
If a balance sheet is dated December 31; the figures shown are the balances in the accounts after all transactions for December 31 have been documented.
Assets include various items and real estate that the company owns. They are also sometimes called the company's resources. Abdullah knows this right away. He can think of things like the company's car, its cash in the bank, all the material available, and the dolly to move the heavier packages.
Samy nods and shows Abdullah how to report these things in accounts named Vehicles, Cash, Supplies, and Equipment. Next, he talks about Accounts Receivable, which Abdullah hadn't thought of as an asset, yet it is. For example, if Abdullah delivers packages but doesn't get paid immediately, the amount owed to Wasslak is an asset called Accounts Receivable.
Samy brings up a less obvious asset: the number of prepaid expenses that haven't yet run out. Wasslak will pay SAR 1,200 on December 1 to cover its delivery vehicle for the next six months. That comes to SAR 200 monthly (SAR 1,200 divided by six months). Between December 1 and December 31, SAR 200 of insurance premium is "used up" or "expires."
The amount that has run out will be listed as Insurance Expenses on the income statement for December. Abdullah asks Samy where the last SAR 1,000 insurance premium that hasn't yet been paid would be reported. Samy tells him that there is an asset account called "Prepaid Insurance" on the balance sheet for December 31.
Stockpiles and annual dues to a trade group are two other things that might need to be paid for before them being used. The part running out during the current accounting period is mentioned as an expense on the income statement, while the part that hasn't run out yet is classified as an asset on the balance sheet.
Samy tells Abdullah that he will soon see an apparent connection between the income statement and the balance sheet. But, for now, Samy keeps talking about assets.
Abdullah finds out that each of his company's assets is listed on the balance sheet at its original cost. So even if an item's fair market value goes up, an accountant won't change the amount listed on the balance sheet. The above nicely illustrates the cost principle, another basic accounting principle.
Accountants don't usually raise an asset's value, but a concept called "conservatism" could cause them to lower it. For example, after Abdullah has been in business for a few months, he may consider that he can help some customers and make more money by stocking packaging boxes to sell. Let's assume that Wasslak bought 100 boxes in bulk from a store for SAR 1 each. Since the day Abdullah bought them, the wholesale price of boxes has gone down by 40%, so he could buy each one today for SAR 0.60.
Suppose his inventory's net realizable value is less than its original cost. In that case, the principle of conservatism tells the accountant to put the lower amount on the balance sheet as the asset's value.
In short, the cost principle says that assets shouldn't be reported at more than what they cost. Conservatism could also mean that the balance sheet should report assets at less than what they cost.
Abdullah also has to be aware that the amounts listed on his balance sheet for assets like equipment, vehicles, and buildings are usually less than what is listed because of depreciation. The basic accounting principle, called the matching principle, also requires depreciation, as it is used for assets that don't last forever.
For example, equipment wears out, vehicles get too old and expensive to maintain, buildings get old, and some assets (like computer systems) become redundant. Depreciation is how the cost of an asset is spread out over its useful life on the income statement as Depreciation Expense.
Read more about Depreciation in our detailed article here.
Let's say that Wasslak's van has a five-year useful life and costs SAR 20,000. The accountant could match SAR 4,000 of Depreciation Expense (SAR 20,000 divided by five years) with each year's income for five years. This way, the van will be able to carry SAR 4,000 less value every year.
The above means that the carrying amount of the delivery van will be SAR 16,000 on the balance sheet after year one, SAR 12,000 after year two, and so on. After five years, the expected end of the van's useful life, it will no longer carry any accounting value.
Abdullah wants to make sure he understands what Samy is saying about the assets on the balance sheet, so he asks Samy if they show how much the company's assets are worth. He is amazed to hear Samy say that the value of the assets is not shown on the balance sheet. This is because long-term assets, like buildings, equipment, and furniture, are reported at their cost minus the Depreciation Expense amount that has already been transferred to the income statement.
So, even if a building's market value has raised since it was bought, the amount on the balance sheet has been steadily decreasing because the accountant moved some of the cost of the building to the Depreciation Expense on the income statement to meet the matching principle.
On the other hand, since short-term assets tend to "turn over" in short periods, their balance sheet values are probably close to their actual worth.
Samy warns Abdullah that the balance sheet only shows the acquired assets and how much they cost, meaning that even if a company has a great reputation and thus high brand value, it won't be listed as an asset. In the end, Samy convinces Abdullah that he just learned useful information about how to read a balance sheet, which can help him a lot in running his business.
Managing a business can be challenging without good accounting management. Let Wafeq help you run better business.

The Nutshell
Fukushima Risk Less Than Feared
Cancers due to radiation will not increase in Japan, according to studies conducted in the wake of the 2011 nuclear disaster.
Sabrina Richards
Nuclear power plant Dukovany, Czech RepublicWIKIMEDIA COMMONS, PETR ADAMEK
The radiation emitted during the Fukushima nuclear accident is unlikely to lead to increases in cancer, according to two separate studies conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR). Based on estimates of radiation doses received after the accident, even cases of cancer in the nuclear plant workers highest exposed will be difficult to attribute to radiation, according to the reports on radiation exposures in the first year after the accident.
Both the WHO and UNSCEAR assessed public exposure. "If there's a health risk, it's with the highly exposed workers," Wolfgang Weiss, UNSCEAR' chair, told Nature. More than 150 nuclear plant workers received high enough exposures to slightly raise their risk of cancer, but most civilians did not, according to the WHO's evaluation.
UNSCEAR's report calculated that...

Senior Policy Analyst, Office of Management and Budget
Carol Bales has seen a lot of changes since joining the White House's Office of Management and Budget in 2006 — changes in administration, policy, tech capacity and more. These days, Bales leads the cybersecurity and national security unit within the Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer. There, her team creates governmentwide cybersecurity policies and partners with agencies to help them effectively implement these directives.
But not all Bales' work is in security. One project she's especially excited about, for example, is OMB's continued work in IT modernization.
"I am really excited about what we are doing in the area of IT modernization," Bales told FedScoop. "This work … focuses on the modernization and consolidation of networks and the use of shared services to enable future network architectures. The focus is not just on technology – but also budgets, processes, and people required to affect organizational change. I am really looking forward to what we can achieve over the next few years."

The billabongs of Australia's Kakadu National Park are the site of a revealing ecological phenomenon reported today in Nature by Anthony Ives and colleagues. Kariba weed, an invasive fern, arrived in the lakes in 1983, but has been kept somewhat in check through the deliberate introduction of the silvinia weevil. The weevils eat kariba's buds, slowing their normally rapid growth.
Weevil control has had mixed results, though. In some years the plants are kept other control. In other years, they escape control and form mats up to a meter thick. The authors show that these two conditions are alternate stable states. When plant populations are low, the plants consist mostly of tasty buds, which weevils eat to grow and keep eating more buds. However, when the plant populations get large, they consist mostly of tough to eat tissue and float high above the reach of weevils, and the weevils' number fall.
Ecological systems…are subjected to stochastic and cyclic perturbations, and if alternative states are weakly stable and perturbations are large enough, then shifts between states may be routine. Alternative stable states may thus generate underlying forces that govern the stochastic dynamics of the system, leading to complex and seemingly irregular, eruptive behaviour. In fact, it may be difficult to identify the alternative stable states, yet at the same time be difficult to understand the dynamics of the system without first identifying that alternative stable states exist.
It will be interesting to see where else this phenomenon pops up.


The city hopes to rezone the Columbia Street Waterfront District to protect its character.
Intense lobbying from residents of the Columbia Street Waterfront District prompted the city to include their sliver of a neighborhood in a broader initiative to restrict new building heights in Carroll Gardens.
The two neighborhoods have been particularly vocal in their opposition to tall, modern buildings popping up among the diminutive skyline.
The Department of City Planning, which already said it would begin a review this summer to cap new construction at 60 feet in Carroll Gardens, now says it will include the Columbia Street area, just across the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway, in the study to determine which parts of the neighborhood will get the protective zoning.
"The goals for these areas are the same: update decades-old zoning with contextual zoning designations, establish height limits for the first time and curb out-of-scale development," said City Planning Department spokeswoman Jennifer Torres.
Webster told The Brooklyn Paper that the city indicated it will probably not alter the manufacturing zoning on blocks close to Van Brunt Street and Red Hook's working cargo port.
A neighborhood-wide rezoning must undergo a comprehensive and time-consuming public review before it can be enacted. Community Board 6, Borough President Markowitz, the City Planning Commission and the City Council will all vote on the measure.


'Harry Potter' star Alan Rickman has died at the age of 69 after losing a battle with cancer, a statement from his family has confirmed.
The British actor has lost a battle with cancer and passed away in London, his family has confirmed on Thursday (14.01.16).
Rickman had been dealing with his illness in secret and wanted to keep his medical problems a private matter.
Rickman had a fabulous acting career that spanned five decades with memorable roles in movies such as 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves', 'Love, Actually' and as villain Hans Gruber in action classic 'Die Hard' – in which he starred opposite Bruce Willis and was a role he was offered two days after arriving in Los Angeles at the age of 41.
But to millions around the world he will forever be known for portraying Professor Severus Snape in the 'Harry Potter' films.
Last year, Rickman married his life-long partner Rima Horton, who he met when he was 19 and she was 18 and whom he lived with in London for over 50 years.


The semester is winding down, and that's why I'm feverishly writing at 11:45 PM (rather than at 10:30 when I finally got Benjamin in bed)—because Andrew's been feverishly writing and I've been feverishly editing his stuff for him and demanding that he rewrite what he's already written.
We went to church today, naturally, and I was stuck with Benjamin again. Not stuck with him in the sense that I mind being with him (because he's really quite a charming boy) but stuck with him in the sense that our ward does a pretty good job of only giving one parent (of a pre-nursery aged baby) an intense Sunday calling (such as working in the primary, as I do), while giving the other parent a weekday calling (such as working with the youth) or a less-intense Sunday calling (such as teaching a lesson once a month in Elder's Quorum (EQ), which Andrew does).
I tallied up the number of weeks I was "stuck" with Benjamin and got to five. Five straight weeks of tending Benjamin through two hours of church and doing all the stuff I usually do in primary.
Andrew taught EQ the week before he left for Utah.
Then he was in Utah.
Then Rachel was sick so he stayed home with her.
Sundays have been feeling quite exhausting!
The good (and bad) news is that this was Benjamin's second to last week before he enters nursery. I'm at once thrilled to bits and torn to pieces over this because he'll be in nursery (finally, thank goodness!) but he'll be in nursery (which means he's morphing from baby to boy right before my very eyes).
I think the larger part of me is grateful to not have to chase after him for three straight hours, mostly because he's recently turned into a stool-pushing, furniture-climbing maniac and is always getting into everything.
He wants so much to be one of the big kids, to do what everyone else is doing, but he's just too little to really be able to get involved. Here he is trying to infiltrate a game of Chutes and Ladders that we played on Friday night (because he can climb onto the table now (which means we have to be diligent bench-pusher-inners)).
Andrew and I took turns holding him out of reach of the board. He was not happy about this.
The game seemed to take forever to end. It might have been due to my natural disinterest in the game (Because, can you think of a worse game? Give me UNO a thousand times before you give me Chutes and Ladders.) but I think the fact that I spent half the game wrestling a flailing toddler might have had something to do with how tedious it got toward the end there.
Just to keep the record straight, I loved playing this game with our girls (but only because I love our girls, not because I love this game).
Tangentially related question: Is Candyland a better game (for parents to play) than Chutes and Ladders?
Less related thought: I'm so glad we only have one more week of wrestling this child through three hours of church before he enters the charming world of nursery, where treasure troves of toys spill across the cultural hall, where snack time lasts until you're ready to get down and play, where any number of adults is ready to drop everything and read a story just to you, where there's singing and much merriment (with a few children screaming in the background because separation anxiety is hard).
With any luck, Benjamin will take to the new arrangement like a champ and everyone's Sundays will get a lot easier!
Here comes trouble with a capital T!
Those two games are equally horrible because they can be allllllmost over, and then BAM - you draw the card that takes you back to the beginning (or you land on that super long chute). Ugh. But yes, very "fun" to play with kids.
We've been ADDICTED to Sorry! at our house. Beats Chutes and Ladders and Candyland. You do get setbacks, but at least once a guy is in home, he's in. And there's slightly more variety. It's been ok, even multiple times a day.

Michigan football adds Edward Warinner, son of OL coach, a transfer from Michigan State
Orion Sang
Michigan football has added a transfer linebacker. And his name will sound familiar.
A team spokesperson confirmed Monday morning that Edward Warinner, son of offensive line coach Ed Warinner and a former Michigan State player, is enrolled at Michigan and a member of the football program.
Edward Warinner was a redshirt freshman in 2018; he appeared in seven games this season, making three tackles. He entered the transfer portal earlier this month.
The 6-foot, 225-pound linebacker signed with the Spartans as a member of their 2018 class. He was a three-star prospect ranked No. 1,252 overall and the No. 51 inside linebacker, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. It is unknown whether Edward Warinner is on scholarship at Michigan.
His father, Ed, just concluded his second season as U-M's offensive line coach after taking over for former assistant Tim Drevno.

Just listening to the Sky Sports Saturday clowns discussing the Gordon move, basically chiming in with the Everton fans view that Gordon is well overrated and they've robbed us blind. Howe vs the world on this one. I wonder who will be proven right?
There can be no other explanation. He can't be his son as I don't believe he'd get withing 20 yards of the opposite sex without getting maced.
It's not sad, just a really old fashioned take on things. One which probably belongs in amateur leagues, not in the cut and thrust of CL football.
Sometimes releasing the ball quickly is even more effective than trying to beat the third person with a stepover or three.

TRon replied to Disco's topic in Football
Exactly. Previously we didn't have much competition for Wilson, now we have him and Isak fighting for the shirt. What's wrong with having Gordon and Maxi doing the same for that left wing position? Why do we need to sell?
The fee really isn't that huge going by today's standards. Even abroad they are putting in release clauses of £100m for players who are still teenagers and barely made a name for themselves. Ratboy is going to make us a nightmare to play against, he's got pace to burn, and he does look like he's got goals in him.
I think it will turn out to be a great signing.
And we probably can't get a midfielder who is leagues above Shelvey and significantly younger. Arsenal are also trying to buy a similar type of midfielder with Elneny being ruled out for a significant part of the season.
Yeah, I'm not sure you could describe him as a makeweight, flyweight would probably be more accurate.
We do also have to recognise that there are some clubs who players still prefer to sign for if they are in for the same ones we are looking at. Arsenal are one of them.


Kareena Kapoor Khan will be reportedly playing the role of Jahanara Begum, the First Lady of the Mughal Empire.
Karan Johar directed Kareena Kapoor Khan in 2001 release Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. After that Kareena starred in many Karan's production ventures, but the filmmaker never directed the actress. However, now after 18 years, they are teaming up once again for Takht. Karan will be directing it and apart from Kareena, the film also stars Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, Janhvi Kapoor and Anil Kapoor. The movie is said to be based in the Mughal Era and recently while talking to PTI, Kareena shared some interesting details about her character in the film.
The actress said, "It's a different film because I've not really done a period film like this. There will be a certain amount of dialect preparation, look tests that will happen. I'm also working with Karan after a very long time so I'm very excited. Hopefully, it'll be a part which will be remembered because it's socially relevant. It's a strong character. The best part is it'll be completely different than what I did in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham as Poo." She also stated that Karan has evolved as a filmmaker and she has also completely changed as an artist.
Shah Rukh Khan finally notices a fan after 143 days and his response will make you smile!
Reportedly, Kareena will play the role of Jahanara Begum, the First Lady of the Mughal Empire. She was the daughter of Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal and sister of Dara Shikoh and Aurangzeb. If this report turns out to be true then Kareena will be seen as Vicky and Ranveer's sister.

Innovative Language Learning holds that the ultimate purpose of language learning is communication, and that topics like grammar and vocabulary are only aids to this ultimate goal. Almost all of our lessons then begin with a dialogue and use this as a focus and jumping off point to discuss cultural points, vocabulary, and topics in grammar. Especially at the beginner stage, the lessons teach conversational language through modifiable patterns and set phrases, and only begins to introduce complex grammar in the later stages of the beginner sequence. Each phrase is broken down into syllables and repeated several times so that students have maximum exposure to the language. They are asked to repeat phrases aloud for practice. Each lesson includes a short oral quiz at the end to improve speaking ability. In our audio lessons the focus is almost entirely on speaking and listening skills.
Our lessons are grouped into five levels: Introduction, Absolute Beginner, Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Under these five levels, our lessons are further grouped into series, which have more specific levels (for example, Lower Beginner, Beginner, Upper Beginner). Finally, under each series, you will find different seasons, which are lessons grouped into sets of 25.
3. I have some experience studying Hindi — how can I figure out where to start?
Set your learning level under "My Level" on the left side of the Dashboard. Choose from Absolute Beginner to Advanced and the Dashboard will recommend a lesson that best fits your profile. You can also listen to level descriptions to find one that matches your level. Remember, the first 3 lessons of every series are always free, so even as a free account member, you can still sample the different levels and series we offer.
The Dashboard helps you start learning Hindi, guides you along, and tracks your learning progress. It's the first thing you see when you log in to site. Once you set your learning level, it will provide a lesson recommendation for you to begin with. After you complete a lesson, it will track your progress and guide you to the next lesson in the series. You can manually add and remove series to customize your learning and study several at once.
The review track is an audio track that you can use to review the vocabulary words from the lesson. After giving you the word in Hindi, there will be a pause for you to say the meaning in English. You will later be given the meaning in English, after which you are prompted to come up with the word in Hindi. Make sure to say them out loud!
The dialogue track is an audio track that contains only the dialogue portion of the lesson. Listening to the dialogue track is a great way to review the focus of the lesson without listening to the entire lesson.
Expansion with Audio is a list of the vocab words from the lesson with sample sentences that show the usage of each word, complete with audio.
Line-by-Line Audio is the dialogue of the lesson cut up line by line so that you can hear each line individually. Line-by-Line is great for improving listening comprehension and repeating practice.

Water shortage is one of the issues which will antagonistically influence the nation in the following couple of years if a NWP isn't received
Water shortage is one of the issues which will antagonistically influence the nation in the following couple of years if a NWP isn't received. The Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) alarmed the legislature that the nation will come up short on water by 2025 if no move is made. Back in December 2015, the administration declared work on the NWP, which would involve a bigger system concentrating on building up a component for charging a wide range of water utilization, meet circulation of the asset and the working of dams.
The precarious piece here is the eighteenth amendment to the constitution too. Under the eighteenth amendment water circulation for horticulture, local and mechanical purposes turned into a common subject. This issue again needs endorsement from the CCI. What experts neglect to perceive here is that time is of embodiment and water is an asset which should be arranged out precisely if the nation needs to maintain a strategic distance from the absence of water because of its own carelessness. Throughout the previous 70 years also, we have seen India exploiting Pakistan's laziness in issues concerning the water assets. In this day and age, they have constructed dams and even proceeded to stop the stream of water to Pakistan on specific events.
Having the authority over the water of the district will be an extraordinary favorable position in the following couple of years. What's more, more essentially, the survival of Pakistanis relies upon it. Agribusiness division will endure incredibly because of absence of water. The time has come for an accord is come to.
NATIONAL WATER POLICY 2018
The Ministry of Water Resources is ready to disclose first National Water Policy in the 70-year history of the nation, the representative for the service uncovered on Saturday.
Government Minister for Water Resources Syed Jawed Ali Shah is booked to report the strategy on March 22, 2018 in Islamabad on the event of World Water Day. The remarkable highlights of the first National Water Policy would likewise incorporate accentuation on water protection, water stockpiling, water allotment, under-soil water quality. The arrangement would likewise give extraordinary significance on working of new dams for water stockpiling and fair water dissemination among the regions. With Pakistan confronting hardship in enhancing water administration and taking measures to spare quickly draining water assets, environmental change combined with fast urbanization and populace development would additionally affect the accessibility of water, making it a standout amongst the most water-focused on nations of the world. This is first time that Federal Minister, Jawed Ali Shah has understood the circumstance and advanced water strategy. India has been issuing water approach at regular intervals for the last numerous decades.
As indicated by the information discharged by the World Resources Institute (WRI), which characterizes water worry as the proportion between add up to water withdrawals and accessible sustainable surface water at a sub-catchments level, Pakistan is anticipated to be the most water focused on nation in the district by the year 2040.
The report, which scores each nation on the size of zero to five, with the higher number speaking to the most water-pushed, expressed by 2040 Pakistan would be 23rd most water-focused on nation on the planet with a normal score of 4.48, unless it changes its ways and chips away at water preservation.
NEED FOR NATIONAL WATER POLICY:
In spite of these remarkable accomplishments in the water division, populace development, quick urbanization and industrialization, are forcing developing requests and weights on water-asset, which is as of now insufficient. The extending awkwardness amongst free market activity, has prompted deficiencies and undesirable rivalry among end-clients other than causing natural debasement as constant increment in waterlogging in specific regions, decay of groundwater levels in different zones, interruption of saline water into new groundwater stores, and so forth. Amid the last quarter of the 20″century, Pakistan's advancement was driven by developments in agrarian creation and can be named as a "Green Revolution". Enhanced farming practices took into consideration significant yield increments, and additionally the esteem included horticulture through the advancement of water-assets, water system foundation and agro-based enterprises. While these intercessions have enabled Pakistan's sustenance and fiber creation to keep pace with request, in other water related segments, outstandingly urban and rustic water supply, the pace of advancement has not stayed aware of need, whereby noteworthy extents of the populace stayed denied of the advantage of clean water supply and sanitation offices, bringing about a substantial cost to the country as far as individuals' wellbeing. Yield increments have now backed off (despite the fact that there is noteworthy potential for additionally increment), and the improvement of significant water assets has been soiled by political contention. This requirement, joined with deficiency of venture to keep up and enhance the framework and some institutional weaknesses, is prompting weakening of the foundation and also wasteful and biased utilization of valuable water. In the interim, because of absence of recharging of existing repository stockpiling, accessibility of stream at basic circumstances of the years is further declining as opposed to expanding. This is set in a setting in which however the general economy is doing admirably, destitution is on the expansion and absence of water supply to last part ranchers on the water system frameworks and to the urban poor, are additionally contributing elements.
The future in this manner is probably going to be ruled by expanding weight on water, both driven by the expanding populace (set to increment by more than half by year 2025) and rising urbanization (the urban populace is required to twofold in the following 25 years). This will require noteworthy venture and upgrades in the administration, productivity and value of accessibility and administration conveyance. Expanded water stockpiling will be required not exclusively to counterbalance that is being lost to sedimentation yet additionally to build the accessibility and unwavering quality of water amid low stream periods. This must be coordinated by expanding proficiency of water use in the water system, mechanical and additionally urban and country consumable water supplies. The additional speculation and upgraded productivity needs, will likewise require that the recipients are more associated with the administration of the frameworks than has been the situation to date, and that the recipients should pay for administrations both to guarantee that the expenses are secured and that they utilize the administrations proficiently. The level of venture required will likewise drive the need to activate capital from all sources, including the private area wherever plausible, which is in all likelihood in the urban water supply and the hydropower areas.
The rising rivalry for water must be seen against expanding worries about the decay of water quality and the earth. Absence of compelling waste water treatment offices and saline seepage emanating are bringing about expanding contamination stacks on the stream framework and additionally the salinization of homestead lands. Slowly declining water accessibility and quality raises genuine worries for wetland, riverine and delta biology. To put it plainly, there is currently the need to build up a "Blue Revolution", which over the main quarter of the 21 s` century will give the essential quantum increments in accessibility, benefit conveyance, utilization efficiencies 7 and values in the most vital information, in particular, water, with a specific end goal to meet the creation, the general wellbeing and the ecological needs. Water would consequently be required to assume a part indistinguishable to other agrarian sources of info that brought about the green upheaval, said prior, in the last quarter of the 20`" century. In this way, for maintained independence in nourishment, lightening of neediness and battling ecological debasement, each drop of accessible water ought to be rationed and generation per unit of water amplified, as has been adequately shown by the current dry spell conditions in the nation. As far as improvement of extra water assets, there have been some unavoidable deferrals on dubious undertakings, other than generous time and cost overwhelms even on non-disputable water ventures. Past procedures for the improvement and abuse of groundwater assets have brought up issues with reference to what is a reasonable and adjusted asset administration. Every single such issue should be routed to shape the premise of a typical Policy. For the prior reasons and keeping in mind the end goal to improve the advancement of both surface and groundwater and to get more yield per drop, the definition of a practical National Water Policy (NWP) is a fundamental necessity. Such a Policy is relied upon to add to nourishment security and neediness lessening by cultivating supportable increments in profitability of water through ideal supply and better administration.
Therefore, the National Water Policy intends to accomplish:
•	Efficient administration and protection of existing water assets.
•	Optimal improvement of potential water assets.
•	Steps to limit time and cost invades in finishing of water segment ventures.
•	Equitable water conveyance in different territories and waterway orders.
•	Measures to invert quickly declining groundwater levels in low-revive regions.
•	Increased groundwater abuse in high-revive regions.
•	Effective waste intercessions to boost trim creation.
•	Improved surge control and defensive measures.
•	Steps to guarantee satisfactory and safe nature of water.
•	Minimization of salt develop and other ecological risks in watered regions.
•	Institutional changes to make the overseeing associations more unique and responsive.
Key Issues:
Water assets administration and advancement in Pakistan faces massive difficulties for settling numerous various issues. The most condemning of these is a high fleeting and spatial varieties of water accessibility. About 81 % of stream streams and 65% of precipitation happens amid the three storm months, while nature of groundwater to a great extent shifts with profundity and area. Regularly extending water requirements for the developing economy and the populace for meeting its sustenance and fiber necessities, and the approach of successive surges and dry spells, add to the unpredictability of water administration.
The manageability of watered farming and its further extension, is being undermined by various issues including the accompanying:
•	Growing need of water to meet necessities of rising populace other than financial requests.
•	Very high varieties, both as far as space and time, in the accessibility of water assets.
•	Reduction in the accessibility of surface water, because of silting of dams.
•	Lack of appropriate upkeep of the trench framework prompting unsuitable administration.
•	Waterlogging and salinization of territories in different channel summons of Indus Basin System.
•	Lack of responsibility by different associations on the requirement for arrangement of waste system as an a vital part of the water system organize.
•	Over abuse of groundwater assets, in this manner, rendering extensive territories far from poor ranchers and depletion of groundwater aquifers.
•	Pollution of aquifers because of sidelong development of saline water or upward development of exceptionally mineralized profound water.
•	Lack of legitimate transfer of saline emanating.

Gene E. Bush is a shade garden expert, writer, consultant, speaker and photographer who would enjoy hearing from you at shadegardenexpert.com.
This mature oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) shelters native wildflowers beneath its large leaves.
My woodland garden is now 30-plus years old. During all those years of reading magazine articles, purchasing gardening books and attending numerous symposiums, two teachers have stood out above all else. I would highly recommend both as your next shade garden gurus. Wisest of all woodland gardening gurus is the forest trail closest to you for frequent visits and observations.
It can and will teach you all you need to know about gardening in the shade. The more you visit and observe forests, the more you are capable of learning. A local wildflower guide will give you names to those plants you see while hiking the trails. Now you know the names of the plants that you find attractive and want to include in your shade garden. Knowing the names means a purchase at your local garden center, or perhaps a mail order, can be made.
Polygonatum sibericumis a bit over 5 feet of stiffly upright, clumping stems. Leaves and stems are blue-green and the small white flowers hang like tassels in the leaf junctions.
Shade garden or woodland garden?
Nature has created an environment in our deciduous woodlands that is centered on seasons. Some perennials awaken early in late winter before the leaves appear on trees; quickly bloom, set seed and then go dormant as the canopy closes above. Some plants will not bloom until the last gasp of fall. Foliage will become very important as it will often change colors with the seasons. All have adapted to surviving and thriving at the feet of the tall trees that demand first share of water and nutrients.
There are many levels of growth in a forest that translate into garden design. Tall shade trees, with an overall canopy above that takes first serving of available light, have a root system that all plants below must compete with. Beneath the largest trees are medium trees followed downward in size by shrubs. Finally it is on the forest floor where the perennials, tubers and bulbs are located. Vines begin the journey upward once more from floor to ceiling of the shaded environment.
We gardeners attempt to do what it took nature hundreds, even thousands, of years to accomplish. We want that optimal growing environment of humus-rich garden soil that is well-drained, but retains moisture. Mother Nature accomplished that with falling leaves each November — leaves that eventually crumbled along with the twigs and limbs; sometimes entire trees that fell over and rotted among the carpet of dead foliage. Insects lived and died among the leaves and limbs, adding to the layer we refer to as forest duff. Soil is a living web of fungi, bacteria and living organisms that are both visible and too small to be noticed when we disturb the soil.
Shade is nothing more than an obstruction between you and the sun.
Some woodland plants grow at the edge of the forest, some grow in the center where shade is darkest, and others grow in a clearing or thicket. There is a variation in the amount of light some woodland plants need to bloom well and thrive. You will need to determine how much light your garden has to offer so you know where to place your plants.
Mark the boundaries of your garden, and begin to check the area at various times of the day. As the sun moves from east to west the intensity and duration of available light changes from hour to hour. The premium placement for a woodland garden is an eastern exposure, for it is the most gentle of exposures, protected from the hottest part of the day.
A shaft of sunlight shines through dogwood (Cornus sp.) foliage in the center of this shaded garden. A hedge shields the garden from full force of the sun.
When beginning a shade garden, the soil should be loosened, usually to a depth of 8 to 12 inches. Since we are disturbing a living web when loosening the soil, I add a good compost, along with organic matter such as aged hardwood mulch to compensate, and mix thoroughly. I always top-dress with chopped leaves or composted hardwood mulch that will decay in a year or two, adding to the top layer as a water-retaining and temperature-regulating blanket.
I am a firm believer in using native plants. Begin with what grows in your region — for nothing encourages more gardening like success. Plants native to your area are already adapted to your climate and soil. Create by emulating what nature is showing by example.
If, at some point in your shade gardening success you wish to expand your horizons, there is another related world to explore. There are shade-loving plants from around the temperate world known as non-native or exotic plants. Many are related to our natives. There is no end of hardy plants available to a shade gardener. Mostly it is a shortage of awareness.
Take that walk, purchase that wildflower guide, and create a bit of nature in your yard.

A Seven Kings teenager, who drove a tipper truck erratically and "nearly crashed" into a police car, was fined at court today.
Leonard Gjonaj, 18, of Westwood Road, and his passenger, were stopped by police on December 29 at 1am, on Barley Lane, Goodmayes.
Barkingside Magistrates' Court heard "[the police] described his driving as erratic" and "he almost crashed into them".
Gjonaj told the officers that he did not the know the owner of the Ford Transit, but later admitted that his passenger was the owner's nephew.
He said they were "just moving the vehicle to park it at Sainsbury's" in Roden Street, Ilford.
Today he admitted to driving a motor vehicle without consent and driving without insurance.
Prosecutor Claire Hebdon told the court that Gjonai had not seeked permission from the owner, who was holidaying in Albania at the time.

She added that the defendant admitted that he "should not have been driving", had no insurance and only had a provisional licence issued in Albania.
Ms Khan, representing the defence, said that Gjonaj had resided in the UK since he was 15 and was under the care of the social services.
He had no previous convictions and realised he should have got permission to move the truck before going to the owners house and "taking the keys" with his friend.
Chairman of the bench Clifford Wright said pleading guilty and being of "previous good character" was in his favour, however the charges where "serious offences".
For driving a motor vehicle without the owner's consent, Gjonai was fined £60 and ordered to pay £85 in prosecution costs and £30 in victim surcharge.
For use of a motor vehicle on a road without third party insurance, the defendant received six points on his provisional license and a fine of £60.
The passenger of the vehicle, has already been brought before the court on a previous date and ordered to pay a fine.

Lessig, Google, Obama, and Jesus: a net neutrality mash-up
Behold, the scandal that has it all: Google, network neutrality, Lawrence …
Julian Sanchez - Apr 24, 2008 3:50 pm UTC
All through the primary season, media and political pundits have enjoyed playing Six Degrees of Indignation with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. But the editor of the conservative Web site RedState may have come up with the most tech-headline-friendly pseudo-scandal yet: Lessig-Google-fabulous-lip-syncing-Jesusgate. The site, which is a conservative stalwart that regularly features guest posts from Republican Senators, is urging its supporters to phone the Senate Commerce Committee, where Google is currently advocating network neutrality legislation, and "tell the committee it is abhorrent to have Larry Lessig parroting Google's call for open networks while Google censors and denigrates Christians."
Open networks? Christians? Google? Censorship? Would you believe, it's because of a mash-up?
This new scandal started with a lecture that Stanford university legal theorist and "free culture" booster Lawrence Lessig recently gave at Google. As part of a discussion of copyright and "remix culture" he showed a short video titled Jesus Christ: The Musical by self-styled "guerilla filmmaker" Javier Prato. The video, which Lessig identifies as a "mash-up," shows a cloth diaper-clad (or is it a bikini brief?) Jesus strutting and prancing down a city street lip-syncing to Gloria Gaynor's disco classic "I Will Survive" before ultimately being hit by a bus. Universal Music, which owns the rights to Gaynor's song, is suing Prato for copyright infringement, while the author maintains that his use of the tune qualifies as a parody entitled to a "fair use" safe harbor. The tension between creativity and intellectual property, especially when the two intersect with free speech and censorship issues, has long been a central theme of Lessig's work and public advocacy.
But Lessig is also a vocal supporter and former colleague of Barack Obama, and the Obama campaign has proudly touted Lessig's endorsement of the candidate's technology policies. Thus, according to RedState editor Erick Erickson, Lessig's use of the video in his talks provides "another connection to Obama by someone denigrating the Christian religion." Erickson also claims (incorrectly) that Lessig "believes there should be no such thing as intellectual property rights—patents and copyrights should be tossed." Though Lessig is a prominent critic of current American intellectual property laws, he has frequently made clear that he is not an IP abolitionist.
In a post on his personal blog responding to RedState, Lessig says that he used the singing Jesus video "not because I endorse the message, or even believe in the message," but to "demonstrate the spread of the technique" of creating remixes. Lessig notes that in the past, he has also shown videos mocking Democrat John Kerry, whose presidential candidacy Lessig supported. "It will be interesting (in a root canal kind of way)," Lessig concludes, "to see how far or deep PC-ism runs in this society."
In the meantime, it's likely that Lessig, Google, Obama, and especially Jesus will all survive.

PM evades questions about changes to SVG's marijuana law
1 Jul 2014 - 09:27AM

Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves says he will not speculate about the outcome of the discussion in CARICOM of the decriminalisation of marijuana for medical purposes.
He further sidestepped a question about whether his government is willing to follow the lead of Jamaica, which last month decriminalised small quantities of marijuana for personal use.
"A process had commenced in CARICOM," Gonsalves said at a press conference on Monday, his last day as chair of the regional bloc.
"There is a commission, which would be appointed and there are terms of reference to be approved at this meeting in Antigua," he said of CARICOM's annual summit, which begins in St. John's today — Tuesday.
"I would not prejudge what the commission will say," Gonsalves said, adding that the commission will consider changes to marijuana legislations in countries around the world, including Jamaica, the United States, Sweden, and Uruguay.
"They will look at any number of places and they will make their recommendations. I await those recommendations," Gonsalves said.
He further said it seems counterproductive "to ignore the potential of an industry in respect of medical marijuana and to continue to expend police, national security, court resources on persons who consume a minuscule amount of marijuana in the privacy of their homes". Gonsalves initiated the discussion in CARICOM on the decriminalisation of marijuana for medical purposes.
State and health officials in several CARICOM nations have expressed reservation or outright opposition to changes to their respective marijuana legislation.
"There are young people, good boys and girls, in many cases, good Christian boys and girls, good students, who get caught behind their grandmothers' houses smoking under 15 grammes of marijuana — a spliff," Gonsalves said.
He noted that the laws of St. Vincent and the Grenadines classify as possession with intent to supply the possession of more than 15 grammes (0.5 ounce) of marijuana.
"There are persons who have been criminalised for smoking a joint. With all the years of experience I have and all the studies I have to this matter, that seems to me to be entirely counterproductive and we need to have a serious conversation about that," said Gonsalves, a lawyer, who is also Minister of Legal Affairs and National Security.
"You don't need to have an absolutely moral position on it, the same thing with alcohol. At the same time, whatever programme is done, we have to speak about negative side of marijuana and we have to deal with the educational and health issues attendant upon the misuse and abuse of marijuana.
"But what I have just said there does not in any way shut out an intelligent mature conversation on medical marijuana or for its decriminalisation in respect of very small quantities in your private spaces. It's a subject about which we should talk and there are people who are afraid to talk about it," he said, and
accused the opposition New Democratic Party of not contributing to the discussion.
"They are afraid to touch it, because it is such a controversial subject. But, if I see reason in having a mature conversation on something, I don't see why we shouldn't. Some other issue may better be left to NGOs to initiate those conversations and have them, but I think this matter has reached a stage where at the state level it requires some serious conversation, which is happening at CARICOM," Gonsalves said.
"I would not, therefore, prejudge what will happen and I therefore do not accept your invitation in that context to speculate on a hypothetical question," he said.

Watch and see this will eventually be used as an election tool.
The ULP needs the Rastafari vote. They also need the poor peoples vote.
The upper middle and upper classes in SVG they feel they do not need, or as the Marxist like to put it ' the petit bourgeoisie and bourgeoisie'.
So using the ganga card for electioneering will not adversly affect the ULP targeted peasant class vote. In fact it would quite well enhance the peasant ULP voters.

Dr Ralph "I will Hunt them until they exist no more". or something to that effect. So I am not surprise he ducking and diving from questions now. The same rasta men who he promise to legalize weed for in 2001, are the same ones he came back and lock up.
Hunt them Dr Ralph Hunt them.

Gonsalves, a lawyer, who is also Minister of Legal Affairs and National Security defended many major drug dealers as a lawyer. This is one of the many reasons drug crimes increased in SVG during his tenure. He never kept his word to stabilize crimes caused by drug dealers.
I see an increase in crime if we start planting ganja in SVG. Farmers have no protection at this point and I don't see them getting any help if they get involved in the ganja trade. This issue must be carefully investigated and a go slow approach should be taken to avoid this process to from getting out of hand.

I don't know what is wrong with this man. I believe the N.D.P has a position on medical marijuana but is that of any significance at the moment? the amount of burning issues affecting the country especially the serious corruptions that is drowning our country is more important to the populace than to know the position of the Opposition on medical marijuana.
