# Vaccinium sikkimense

Vaccinium sikkimense is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae, native to South-Central China, East Himalaya, Myanmar, Nepal and Tibet. It was first described by Charles Baron Clarke in 1882. It may only be a dwarf alpine form of Vaccinium glaucoalbum.

## Description

Vaccinium sikkimense is a small, rather rigid, evergreen shrub, reaching up to 1 m (3 ft) in height. Its leaves are hairless and somewhat leathery, about 25 mm long and pointed oval in shape. They are densely arranged on the stems. The pink flowers are produced in axilliary and terminal clusters in July. The clusters have pink bracts. The corolla is about 5 mm long. The blue-black fruits ripen in August and September and have been recorded as "excellent eating".

## Taxonomy

Vaccinium sikkimense was first collected by Joseph Dalton Hooker in Lachen, Sikkim, and described for science by Charles Baron Clarke in the third volume of Hooker's Flora of British India, published in 1882. In the same work, Clarke also described Vaccinium glaucoalbum (attributing the name to Hooker). Some sources agree this is a separate species, while others treat it as the accepted name for V. sikkimense. V. sikkimense may only be the dwarfed alpine form of V. glaucoalbum.

## Cultivation

The species was collected by several of the early pioneers of botanical collecting in the Himalayas, including George Forrest, Joseph Rock and Frank Kingdon-Ward. Of these, only Kingdon-Ward appears to have introduced living material to cultivation, in 1931 and 1953. It was collected again and brought into cultivation in 1981, by Tony Schilling. A hardy ornamental shrub, it remains rare in cultivation, although grown in public gardens in several parts of Great Britain.

## Distribution and habitat

Vaccinium sikkimense is distributed from the eastern Himalayas, through northeast Nepal and southeast Tibet into west South-Central China and northwest Myanmar (Burma). It has not been recorded from either Bhutan or Arunachal Pradesh, giving it a disjunct distribution. It was originally collected at an altitude of 4,000 m (13,000 ft), and was later collected at around 3,600 m (11,800 ft) in open woodland.

# Mornings with GMA Regional TV

Mornings with GMA Regional TV is a 2020 Philippine television morning news broadcasting show broadcast by GMA Dagupan and GMA Ilocos. Originally hosted by Ara Hanesh and Ralph Guieb (later Angelica Maglanoc), it premiered on September 28, 2020. The program concluded on January 26, 2024 due to low ratings and decline viewership. Joanne Ponsoy and CJ Torida serve as the final hosts.

## Overview

The program is the first unified morning show in North Central Luzon, more than five years after its predecessor Primera Balita, airing on GMA Dagupan, went off the air following the strategic streamlining of programs and manpower on GMA's provincial stations.
Mornings with GMA Regional TV broadcasts live from the GMA Dagupan Station with simulcast on GMA Ilocos Norte (Channel 5), GMA Ilocos Sur (Channel 48), GMA Channel 7 Abra, GMA Channel 5 Mountain Province, GMA Channel 13 Aparri, GMA Channel 7 Tuguegarao, GMA Channel 7 Batanes, GMA Channel 7 Isabela, GMA Channel 5 Baler and GMA Channel 10 Olongapo.
Less than a month later, Ralph Guieb left the program leaving Ara Hanesh (formerly from ABS-CBN Dagupan) as solo anchor of the program. Eight months later, Harold Reyes was announced as the new co-host of Hanesh, although the latter had her last appearance on December 17, 2021. Co-host Angelica Maglanoc joined Reyes on January 3, 2022 and stayed until April that same year. Co-host CJ Torida replaced Maglanoc until February 3, 2023, and replaced Reyes later by July 3 the same year.
On February 6, 2023, the program shifted from a pre-recorded presentation to live broadcasts (although some Spotlight and BizTalk segments are pre-recorded) as part of the rebranding of GMA Regional TV, integrating news reports alongside interviews with personalities all over North Central Luzon and expanding its coverage areas to the Southern Tagalog and Bicol regions. Co-host and correspondent Joanne Ponsoy joined the show as part of this change.

# McClintock v Dept of Constitutional Affairs

McClintock v Department of Constitutional Affairs [2008] IRLR 29, Times 5 December 2007, is a UK employment discrimination law case concerning freedom of religion under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, unfair dismissal (s.94ff. Employment Rights Act 1996) and the new Employment Equality (Religion or Belief) Regulations 2003.

## Facts

McClintock was a magistrate who served for 15 years on the family panel. The law in the UK had recently been changed to prevent discrimination against same-sex couples. The change in the law meant that children needing foster homes could be placed with same-sex couples, and the sex of the parents would not be the sole justifiable reason for declining placement.
McClintock raised objections to sitting on cases where he might have to place children in foster homes with same-sex couples. At first he said that there was evidence to show that children placed with same-sex couples would be disadvantaged when compared to a child placed with a heterosexual family. McClintock cited increased bullying at school as an example. McClintock felt that by placing a child with a same-sex family, he would be neglecting his statutory obligation to do what is in the child's best interests.
He then said that it was due to his religious convictions as a Christian that he could not sit on such cases. He was told by his employer, the Department of Constitutional Affairs (now the Ministry of Justice), that he would not be able to get an exemption from his duties. He brought them to the employment tribunal, where he lost and then appealed. Mr McClintock was represented by Paul Diamond.

## Judgment

Elias J at the Employment Appeals Tribunal dismissed the case because McClintock's objection was essentially founded on a belief that children were being used as guinea pigs in a social experiment, rather than on his philosophical or religious beliefs. The fact that McClintock had said he might sit on the cases when evidence had been given to him that children in same-sex foster homes were just as good as heterosexual foster homes showed that the conviction was not one of such gravity to qualify as religious or philosophical under the 2003 Regulations. Accordingly, not only had there been no engagement of his Art.9 ECHR right to freedom of religion, his dismissal was entirely fair, for misconduct (s.98(2)(b) ERA 1996).

# Mornings in Mexico

Mornings in Mexico is a collection of travel essays by D. H. Lawrence, first published by Martin Secker in 1927. These brief works display Lawrence's gifts as a travel writer, catching the 'spirit of place' in his own vivid manner.
Lawrence wrote the first four of these essays at the same time as he was completing and revising his Mexican novel The Plumed Serpent (1926). Three of the others, about Puebloans, were written earlier in 1924 in New Mexico, and the final piece "A Little Moonshine with Lemon" came later as Lawrence remembered his New Mexico ranch (Kiowa Ranch) from Italy. The Cambridge Edition, Mornings in Mexico and Other Essays edited by Virginia Crosswhite Hyde (2009), adds an additional twelve essays, most of them concerning American Southwestern peoples and places.
The eight essays in the original volume are:
* "Corasmin and the Parrots"
* "Walk to Huayapa"
* "The Mozo"
* "Market Day"
* "Indians and Entertainment"
* "Dance of the Sprouting Corn"
* "The Hopi Snake Dance"

# Vyasachala Mahadevendra Saraswati

According to the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham tradition, Vyasachala Mahadevendra Saraswati was its 54th Pontiff from 1498 to 1507AD. He was the son of Kamesvara and Kamalamba who belonged to Kanchi. His pre-sanyasa name was Kuppanna and his guru was Purnananda Sadasivendra Saraswati. He is the author of Vyasachala Sankara Vijaya. He attained mukti at Vyasachala on the first day of the dark fortnight of Ashada in the cyclic year Akshaya (1507 AD). The Acharyal has been described as great tapasvi and besmeared with holy vibhuthi and engaged himself in Shiva aradhana. The jeeva samadhi of Vyasachala Mahadevendra Saraswati is located in Sri Nallinaikeshwarar temple Ezhichur which is 55 km from Chennai. The Shiva Linga was worshipped by Surya and Chandra Bhagavan. There is a temple pond which was created by Surya Bhagavan for worshipping Lord Nallinakeshwarar. It's said that 7 Siddhas pray to the Shiva Linga in the form of snakes and one who is steeped in devotion can have the good fortune of having darshan of them. Acharyal Vyasachala Mahadevendra Saraswati attained videha mukti and went into Agni Mudra through which he was immediately transformed to sacred vibhuthi. It's said that one should chant Pancaksara Mantra with devotion to have darshan of the acharya in person or through speech or visions. The sacred vibhuthi provided by the priest should be only used during the evening and one should take care not to commit any aparadha or any sin. After his mukti, the disciplic succession was carried over by Chandrachudhendra Saraswati II,
