Parliamentarians appointed Mamnoon Hussain, a close associate of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, as head of state , an honorary position in Pakistan. The case of 73-year-old succeeds man Asif Ali Zardari sworn in on September 9.

Businessman Mamnoon Hussain was elected Tuesday by parliament to succeed President Asif Ali Zardari at the head of the Pakistan Muslim giant prey to the rise of the Taliban.

The candidate of the Muslim League ( PML-N) easily beat his only rival for the elections without surprise that took place a few hours after a spectacular attack on the Pakistani Taliban TTP against a prison in northern countries freed nearly 250 inmates.

In Pakistan, the president is elected by a small committee of members of the national parliament and members of assemblies of four provinces. Each province had the same number of votes in the presidential election, a measure to maintain a minimum balance in a country where more than half of the population lives in the Punjab.

The election originally scheduled for August 6 was advanced to Tuesday by the Supreme Court, a much maligned by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) of President Zardari, training decision that went into opposition after his discomfiture legislative May won by Muslim League ( PML-N) Sharif.

Frustrated by the decision of Justice, the PPP, now the main formation of the opposition boycotted the poll he had mathematically no chance of winning.

Following the boycott of the PPP, the withdrawal of some candidates and rejecting other candidates, only two candidates still in the running for the title of President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Mamnoon Hussain, a tenor of the PML-N has made ​​a fortune in textiles and was briefly governor of the southern province of Sindh in 1999, faced Wajihuddin Ahmed, a former judge of the Supreme Court retired defending the colors the Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI ), bottom formation of the former glory of cricket Imran Khan.

This 73 year old man , born in India and several other Pakistani leaders of his generation, before the partition of British India in August 1947 , has the confidence of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is expected to remain the great master of Pakistani politics.

A constitutional amendment in 2010 had indeed restored more power in the lower house of Parliament and the Prime Minister, which, however, did not prevent President Zardari to pull the strings.

The mandate of the head of this country of 180 million inhabitants of the customary military coups was marked by the first democratic transition between civilian governments, but undermined by the upsurge in attacks by armed Islamist groups or mafia and an energy crisis that leaden industry.

Now it is no longer the head of state Asif Ali Zardari could leave Pakistan to avoid being killed as his ex-wife Benazir Bhutto in December 2007, and the head of his personal guard, killed in mid -July in an attack. Went into exile , he could escape possible corruption charges, say commentators.

Zardari tried unsuccessfully during the last year to put his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, graduate of Oxford, at the forefront of the machine PPP to facilitate transition from within the party.

" There is a leadership crisis PPP (...) . Bilawal is still not in a position to manage the affairs of the party. It needs the support of his father. If Zardari leaves Pakistan , it can not support its son," believes analyst Hasan Askari .

The Cultivation of Aquatic Plants - What You Need to Know

Image
When raising aquatic plants in outdoor ponds, it is important to consider the amount of light available, the depth of the pond, the kind of soil, and various other factors. Since most aquatic plants obtain nourishment from the soil, it is necessary to have a soil rich in organic matter. In most natural ponds the accumulation of humus at the bottom is excellent for plant growth. In some ponds, however, the bottom consists largely of sand or gravel that must be covered with a thick layer of rich soil. If the pond is very large, it is often easier to root the plants in earth-filled boxes or pots than to place a thick layer of soil over the entire bottom of the pond. Most aquatic plants require large amounts of light and should not be grown in shaded areas. In some regions, it is also important to protect the plants from strong winds by growing shrubbery or other windbreaks near the edge of the pond. The depth of the water should be determined by the size of the plants. In many cases,

4 Major Groups of Aquatic Plants

Aquatic Plants are plants that grow in water. Such plants occur in almost every major group of the plant kingdom and are widely distributed throughout the world, inhabiting oceans and brackish lakes as well as freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams.

The aquatic arrowhead, for example, has limp, ribbonlike leaves, while the terrestrial form bears the stiff, arrowhead-shaped leaves from which the plant's name is derived.

Among the best known of these plants is the salvinia, a small ornamental plant with whorls of oval leaves that are covered with stiff, bristly hairs on their upper surface. The salvinia is grown
