orographic rainfall and the cyclonic rainfall

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)

An economic theory that estimates the amount of adjustment needed on the exchange rate
between countries in order for the exchange to be equivalent to each currency's purchasing
power.

The relative version of PPP is calculated as:

Where:
"S" represents exchange rate of currency 1 to currency 2 
"P1" represents the cost of good "x" in currency 1
"P2" represents the cost of good "x" in currency 2

In other words, the exchange rate adjusts so that an identical good in two different countries
has the same price when expressed in the same currency. 
For example, a chocolate bar that sells for C$1.50 in a Canadian city should cost US$1.00 in a
U.S. city when the exchange rate between Canada and the U.S. is 1.50 USD/CDN. (Both
chocolate bars cost US$1.00.)
CITES
CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is
an international agreement between governments. It aims to ensure that international trade in
specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. Roughly 5,000 species of
animals and 28,000 species of plants are protected. Bears, dolphins, cacti, corals, orchids and
aloes are some examples.

Corals
Coral polyps are short-lived microscopic organisms, which live in colonies. They flourish in
shallow, mud free and warm waters. They secrete hard rock like substance. The coral secretion
and their skeletons from coral deposits in the form of reefs: they are mainly of three kinds:
barrier reef, fringing reef and atolls. The Great Barrier Reef of Australia is a good example of the
first kind of coral reefs. Atolls are circular or horse shoe shaped coral reefs.

Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) belongs to a group of conditions called motor system disorders, which
are the result of the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. The four primary symptoms of PD
are tremor, or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, and face; rigidity, or stiffness of the limbs
and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability, or impaired balance
and coordination. As these symptoms become more pronounced, patients may have difficulty
walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks. PD usually affects people over the age of 50.

At present, there is no cure for PD, but a variety of medications provide dramatic relief from the
symptoms.  Usually, patients are given levodopa combined with carbidopa.  Carbidopa delays
the conversion of levodopa into dopamine until it reaches the brain.  Nerve cells can use
levodopa to make dopamine and replenish the brain's dwindling supply.  Although levodopa
helps at least three-quarters of parkinsonian cases, not all symptoms respond equally to the
drug. Bradykinesia and rigidity respond best, while tremor may be only marginally reduced.
Problems with balance and other symptoms may not be alleviated at all.
