46)Some sort of Republic of Inhospitality

India Republic Day -- As India celebrates Republic Morning and the chests of an incredible number of Indians swell with pleasure at the thought of our enormous diversity and imagined army prowess it is well for you to reflect on what kind of Republic the has become. A republican form of government is not merely one out of which the head of express is not a hereditary monarch; rather the modern republic engraves the idea that sovereignty resides inside people and that the will of the people as expressed through all their representatives is supreme. Precisely what has however been critical to the idea of the republic everywhere is the notion involving inclusiveness. In this respect the reports that have been coming out of India in recent times tell a tale that is chill to the bones a tale which usually leaves behind a stench which no amount of sloganeering about Swachh Bharat or even a thing more than a symbolic wielding from the broom can eradicate. If inclusiveness is the touchsto

Using Templates To Create An Effective Instagram Marketing Campaign

If you want to boost your Instagram marketing efforts, then the first thing you need is a template. In fact, it's not the template that will create success for you, but the way you use it. It's not enough to post images and link them back to your site. When a consumer sees images on Instagram and clicks through to your site, what is more important to them than the quality of the image? If you don't capture their attention with your images, then they won't even notice your page. The template is more important in this case. What do I mean by quality? Well, take a look at the images that you post and evaluate them. Are they high quality shots of your products? Or are they poorly taken pictures that lack detail? These are the types of images that will not give you the exposure you need as a marketer. The image you choose to use in your Instagram page needs to be of a good quality. But more importantly, the image needs to sell itself. This means that your images need to sh

Taxonomy (biology)

Image
In biology, taxonomy (from Ancient Greek τάξις (taxis)  'arrangement', and -νομία (-nomia)  'method') is the scientific study of naming, defining (circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. Organisms are grouped into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a more inclusive group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum (division is sometimes used in botany in place of phylum), class, order, family, genus, and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the founder of the current system of taxonomy, as he developed a ranked system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binominal nomenclature for naming organisms. With advances in the theory, data and analytical technology of biological systematics, the Linnaean system has transform

Definition

Image
The exact definition of taxonomy varies from source to source, but the core of the discipline remains: the conception, naming, and classification of groups of organisms. As points of reference, recent definitions of taxonomy are presented below: Theory and practice of grouping individuals into species, arranging species into larger groups, and giving those groups names, thus producing a classification. A field of science (and major component of systematics) that encompasses description, identification, nomenclature, and classification The science of classification, in biology the arrangement of organisms into a classification "The science of classification as applied to living organisms, including study of means of formation of species, etc." "The analysis of an organism's characteristics for the purpose of classification" "Systematics studies phylogeny to provide a pattern that can be translated into the classification and names of the more inclusive

History

Image
While some descriptions of taxonomic history attempt to date taxonomy to ancient civilizations, a truly scientific attempt to classify organisms did not occur until the 18th century. Earlier works were primarily descriptive and focused on plants that were useful in agriculture or medicine. There are a number of stages in this scientific thinking. Early taxonomy was based on arbitrary criteria, the so-called "artificial systems", including Linnaeus's system of sexual classification for plants (Of course, Linnaeus's classification of animals was entitled "Systema Naturae" ("the System of Nature"), implying that he, at least, believed that it was more than an "artificial system"). Later came systems based on a more complete consideration of the characteristics of taxa, referred to as "natural systems", such as those of de Jussieu (1789), de Candolle (1813) and Bentham and Hooker (1862–1863). These classifications described empirica

Modern system of classification

Image
A pattern of groups nested within groups was specified by Linnaeus' classifications of plants and animals, and these patterns began to be represented as dendrograms of the animal and plant kingdoms toward the end of the 18th century, well before On the Origin of Species was published. The pattern of the "Natural System" did not entail a generating process, such as evolution, but may have implied it, inspiring early transmutationist thinkers . Among early works exploring the idea of a transmutation of species were Erasmus Darwin's 1796 Zoönomia and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's Philosophie Zoologique of 1809. The idea was popularized in the Anglophone world by the speculative but widely read Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation , published anonymously by Robert Chambers in 1844. With Darwin's theory, a general acceptance quickly appeared that a classification should reflect the Darwinian principle of common descent. Tree of life representations became popul

Application

Image
Biological taxonomy is a sub-discipline of biology, and is generally practiced by biologists known as "taxonomists", though enthusiastic naturalists are also frequently involved in the publication of new taxa. Because taxonomy aims to describe and organize life, the work conducted by taxonomists is essential for the study of biodiversity and the resulting field of conservation biology. Classifying organisms edit Biological classification is a critical component of the taxonomic process. As a result, it informs the user as to what the relatives of the taxon are hypothesized to be. Biological classification uses taxonomic ranks, including among others (in order from most inclusive to least inclusive): Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species, and Strain.note Taxonomic descriptions edit The "definition" of a taxon is encapsulated by its description or its diagnosis or by both combined. There are no set rules governing the definition of taxa, but t
