Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants whose prey-trapping mechanism features a deep cavity filled with liquid known as a Pitfall Trap. It has been widely assumed that the various sorts of pitfall trap evolved from rolled leaves, with selection pressure favouring more deeply cupped leaves over evolutionary time. However, some pitcher plant genera (such as Nepenthes) are placed within clades consisting mostly of flypaper traps: this indicates that this view may be too simplistic, and some pitchers may have evolved from the common ancestors of today's flypaper traps by loss of mucilage.

Worldwide Rural Poverty Report2011 :by UN
Extreme poverty abides in rural areas
Over the past decade, about 350 million people left the ranks of extreme poverty, but more than a billion continue to subsist on less than $1.25 per day, according to a UN report. About 70% of the world's poorest people are rural dwellers, per the Rural Poverty Report from the International Fund for Agricultural Development. One billion. That's the number of hungry people worldwide. The effects are heartbreaking. The causes myriad. Solutions are needed now to feed future generations. In this series, the UN 's three food agencies - FAO, WFP and IFAD - take us around the globe in search of answers to some of the most pressing questions we face today.
by IFAD in 2001, more than 350 million rural people have lifted themselves out of extreme poverty. But the new report notes that global poverty remains a massive and predominantly rural phenomenon – with 70 per cent of the developing world’s 1.4 billion extremely poor people living in rural areas. Key areas of concern are Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Increasingly volatile food prices, the uncertainties and effects of climate change, and a range of natural resource constraints will complicate further efforts to reduce rural poverty, the report says.
But the report also emphasizes that profound changes in agricultural markets are giving rise to new and promising opportunities for the developing world’s smallholder farmers to significantly boost their productivity, which will be necessary to ensure enough food for an increasingly urbanized global population estimated to reach at least 9 billion by 2050.
Accordingly, “there remains an urgent need…to invest more and better in agriculture and rural areas” based on “a new approach to smallholder agriculture that is both market-oriented and sustainable,” the report says.
“The report makes clear that it is time to look at poor smallholder farmers and rural entrepreneurs in a completely new way – not as charity cases but as people whose innovation, dynamism and hard work will bring prosperity to their communities and greater food security to the world in the decades ahead,” said Kanayo F. Nwanze, IFAD’s President.

“We need to focus on creating an enabling environment for rural women and men to overcome the risks and challenges they face as they work to make their farms and other businesses successful,” he said.

Enlive the Dreams
U & I live with Dreams....: The Dreams to be enliven when it illuminate the Darkness of our Life...
If you have fresh energy for your dreams, and have not yet walked down the hard road of life, then I would ask you to put your power behind your goals, and to never give up. Even if you have given up on your goals because life happened, and it became a question of survival for you to do something just in order to make ends meet, yet be enthusiastic & be preapared to defy the challanges.
Just evaluate the reality of existence that Iff u have pure goals then support will come to accomplish ur Dream & it will exists Urlife even after U.
I would ask you to please re-consider...is it still possible for you to achieve your dreams, or at least any form or variation of it, even while working at your routine job? But some variation of his dream was still possible, such as building race cars and selling them or anything else that his imagination could come up with.
Anything is possible for the mind that knows this truth, and it is true of any life area whether relationships, health, beauty, etc.
That is what a Success Coach, especially a Law of Attraction Success coach knows...that it is possible....in any variation that you choose to now move towards and live your dreams. To attract what you want, more easily that you imagined.
Just don't give up.You may, because of certain situations, accept your situation for what it is right now, but it does not mean that you should give up.
Open up your mind, and train it to know that it is possible to get what it wants. Half your job is done then.
