Added for You - Vietnam Travel: Pu Luong Nature Reserve, Phu Luong Nature Reserve (a new adventure tour in Vietnam)
I most definitely would not want to come across as a slimy, double-tongued and venomous rattlesnake, but those of us who have grown old in residential real estate sales are fully aware of the fact that, in this business, men are good for one thing and one thing only: to autograph a deposit check. So much so, in fact, that when I used to work for United Realty on Kingsway (that was last century), I knew an agent who emphatically refused to speak to hubbies during showings – even during listing presentations. He totally ignored them. And he was, and still is, one of the top producers in the industry.Hubbies invariably have this peculiarity of standing in the way during showings. Sometimes we even have to waive them aside, to allow wives to engage into the metaphysical cont
Knowledge of the invertebrate fauna of the proposed nature reserve remains rudimentary. However, recent surveys conducted at the site indicate that its insect fauna includes at least 158 species of butterfly and 96 species of land snail, including 12 snail species possibly endemic to the site. Most promising perhaps, the botanical uniqueness and natural isolation of certain forest formations at the site suggests that the proposed nature reserve has strong potential to support high levels of invertebrate endemism and, quite possibly, new taxa to science.
It is likely that Pu Luong has strong faunal and floral affinities with Cuc Phuong National Park, which is situated to 25 km to the south-east, along the same limestone range. However, the higher elevations at Pu Luong and the presence of more extensive areas of evergreen forest means that Pu Luong can be expected to support a number of species that do not occur at Cuc Phuong. Indeed, the results of recent survey work conducted at Pu Luong natu
It’s a constant battle to keep excess weight from creeping back on you after you have worked hard to get back in shape. It almost seems like some people can eat anything they like without gaining an ounce while others seem to gain weight just from looking at food.I started having consistent success with my own weight loss with portion control. You would be surprised at how much you actually eat during one meal. A lot of people eat almost a third more food than is necessary for their size and activity level. Obviously someone who works in construction and is out doing manual labor all day can justify eating more food than someone who has an office job. Everything that you eat has to go somewhere. If you are not burning it off then it is getting stored on your body.

Topography and hydrology
Pu Luong proposed nature reserve is located in Quan Hoa and Ba Thuoc districts, in north-western Thanh Hoa province. To the north-east, the nature reserve is bordered by Mai Chau, Tan Lac and Lac Son districts, Hoa Binh province. The proposed nature reserve lies along two parallel mountain ridges, that run from north-west to south-east, and are bisected by a central valley. This valley contains several human settlements and a large area of agricultural land, and, hence, is not included within the proposed nature reserve.
The two mountain ridges in the proposed nature reserve have starkly contrasting landforms, based on their different substrates. The smaller, south-western ridge is made up of mostly igneous and metamorphic rocks, and consists of rounded forested hills and wide, shallow valleys. The larger, north-eastern ridge is composed of heavily dissected limestone karst, and is a continuation of the limestone range that runs from Cuc Phuong National Park to Son La province. Elevations in the proposed nature reserve range from 60 to 1,667 m.
The hydrology of the limestone ridge is complex, and there is little or no permanent surface water. On the south-western ridge, surface water is more common and streams are much less seasonal. However, the main drainage features of the proposed nature reserve are located in the central valley. This valley is not continuous but has a saddle at its mid-point, which forms the watershed between two small rivers. One of these rivers flows north-west along the valley, and joins the Ma river, which runs to the west and south of the proposed nature reserve. The other river flows south-east along the valley, and joins the Ma river further downstream.
Biodiversity values
The primary forest at Pu Luong nature reserve is classified as closed evergreen tropical seasonal forest. Five major subtypes occur as a result of local variations in underlying substrate and elevation: lowland broadleaved forest on limestone (60 to 700 m); lowland broadleaved forest on schist/shale and clayey sandstone (60 to 1,000 m); broadleaved submontane forest on limestone (700 to 950 m); coniferous submontane forest on limestone (700 to 850 m); and broadleaved submontane forest on basalt (1,000 to 1,650 m). The nature reserve also supports a range of secondary vegetation types, including secondary forests, bamboo, scrub and agricultural land. The results of recent botanical work at Pu Luong indicate that the nature reserve supports a diverse flora, with at least 1,109 vascular plant species documented at the site. From a conservation perspective, three primary forest subtypes found at the site may be considered particularly significant. The first, primary lowland forest on limestone and schist/shale, occurs near the eastern border of the site, in the Co Lung area. Primary forest in the area extends from 60 to 1,000 m, and, at the lowest elevations, supports very high plant species diversity.
The second significant primary forest subtype, primary coniferous submontane forest on limestone, is restricted to a few peaks within the uplands of the Co Luong area and supports outstanding plant diversity, particularly with respect to lithophytes and epiphytes. The globally threatened conifer Pinus kwangtungensis forms a conspicuous element of the flora within this forest subtype.
The third significant primary forest subtype is primary submontane forest on basalt, which occurs on the upper slopes of the south-western mountain ridge within the proposed nature reserve. The primary forest on these upper slopes is characterised by very high plant species diversity, including several nationally threatened conifers. With regard to the vertebrate fauna of Pu Luong, a total of 84 mammal species (including 24 bat species), 162 bird species, 55 fish species, 28 reptile species and 13 amphibian species have been recorded at the nature reserve to date. Pu Luong nature reserve is an important site for the conservation of the globally critically endangered, endemic primate, Delacour's Leaf Monkey. The population at Pu Luong has been estimated to number 40 to 45 individuals, making it one of the largest known populations in Vietnam.

Any online investor / trader seeks an excellent off or online future trading career opportunity. Despite this goal, did you know 95 percent of all traders go broke within the first two months? Why do investors lose vast amounts of wealth in one or more of the following markets – option trading, forex trading or currency trading, stock trading, future or commodity trading etc… in such a short amount of time?Most online investors / traders interact in devastating forms of thinking, which convinces the mind to the point where the trader believes that an educational enhancement ability that develops superb market research skills is not important. On the contrary, if trading is not treated as other business opportunities, the new sales and trading job will cripple the trader. You

In 2006, two out of three chiropractors increased billings (67%), while almost ninety percent (88.3%) of chiropractors sold retail products to patients. At an average $28.5 collections per patient visit (PVA), retail product sales to patients remains a major revenue source. But for junior practitioners with a humble patient growth record, point of service sales is the fastest way to increase practice revenue.An added benefit of such sales is improved patient relationship. By offering your patients quality products that enrich their lives outside of your office, you demonstrate your care. Your patients are reminded of you – and of your care about them – every time they use the products you sell them. Better patient loyalty means lower attrition, frequent referrals and, eventu

I've noticed that many people new to trading are a bit confused about the mechanics of setting up and funding a trading account with a broker. You needn't be, if you can manage internet banking, then establishing and operating a trading brokerage account is a snip.The first step is to find your broker. As a trader, you are looking for an efficient electronic platform that lets you manage your account and trading activity interactively over the internet. A few things to look for include:Low cost of execution for the contracts you intend to trade. Prices are either quoted as a "round trip" or "per side". As a future trade involves two separate transactions - Buy to open, Sell to close, or vice versa - a "round trip" price covers both sides. If you see an adverti

Cats have very different taste buds than humans. Unfortunately for pet owners (consumers), we’re the ones that end up buying the cat food.Pet food companies have figured this out. That’s why you see pet foods in flavors that humans like. If Purina made cat food in flavors that cats would really want, humans would never buy them.Ask a hungry cat what he’d really like to eat right now. What do you think he’d say?Mouse Guts.So why does Purina Cat Chow only come in flavors like Seafood Blend and Savory Chicken? Because we pet owners are the ones making the buying decisions for our cats… and we’d rather have them eat something that doesn’t turn our stomachs.If cats could understand and act on advertising, here’s what you’d hear on the radio:“H

Other documented values
Forest in the proposed nature reserve has a role in protecting the watershed of the Ma river, the largest river in Thanh Hoa province. Just as importantly, the forest has an important role in protecting the water resources of local communities. Already, water is scarce during the dry season, because of the limestone geology of much of the area. Therefore, forest loss would be expected to increase periods of drought, leading to reduced agricultural productivity.
