Located at the intersection of Upper Serangoon Road and Serangoon Central, this station is directly linked to Nex and Serangoon Bus Interchange. History. Construction for this station, Woodleigh station and its connecting tunnels began in July 1997. Wayss &amp; Freytag – Econ Piling – Chew Eu Hock Construction Joint-Venture was responsible to build these infrastructures for S$316.7 million. Before the station opened, the Singapore Civil Defence Force conducted the second ever Shelter Open House on 15–16 February 2003, together with Chinatown, Farrer Park and Hougang stations. Circle Line. The Circle Line portion of the station opened on 28 May 2009. "nex" shopping mall and the Serangoon Bus Interchange is built directly above the Circle Line part of this station. Station sinking incident. Trains travelling to Punggol had to travel at a lower speed as the existing North East line station platform sank a distance of . This was due to the excavation of the Circle Line interchange station meeting a large amount of groundwater.

Kaziranga National Park is a national park in India. The park is home to two-thirds of the world's great one-horned rhinoceroses. It is a World Heritage Site. It was named a Tiger Reserve by the government of India and an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International. Kaziranga is home to large breeding populations of tigers, elephants, wild water buffalo, and swamp deer. One type of swamp deer now only exists in the park. History. The Kaziranga Proposed Reserve Forest was created in 1905. Mary Curzon, the wife of the Viceroy of India, wanted the area protected mostly to save the rhinoceros. In 1908, Kaziranga was designated a "Reserve Forest". In 1916 it was renamed "Kaziranga Game Sanctuary" then changed to “Wild Life Sanctuary” in 1950. Geography. The park is located in both the Nagaon district and Golaghat district, in the state of Assam in India. It is about 40 kilometres (25 mi) long and 13 kilometres (8 mi) wide. The park is crossed by four main rivers — Brahmaputra, Diphlu, Mora Diphlu and Mora Dhansiri. There are also many small water bodies. The park is within the Brahmaputra floodplain. This means when the water in the river rises, the park is partially covered in water. Flooding happens every year which results in over half the park being underwater. In 2017, 85% of the park was underwater. At least 107 animals died because of the flooding in 2017. There are elevated areas of the park which provide retreats and shelter for animals during floods. These are called "chapories". Many artificial "chapories" have been built with the help of the Indian Army to ensure the safety of the animals. Climate. The park has three seasons: winter, summer, and monsoon. The winter season is between November and February. It is mild and dry. The small water bodies dry up and short grass covers the bed. The summer season between March and May is hot
The Sleeping Beauty transposon system is a made-up piece of DNA that helps add new pieces of DNA into the chromosomes of animals with backbones. It is used to give animals new traits or find new genes and learn what they do. It belongs to a group called Tc1/mariner, and the main tool called transposase was made from old, inactive fish DNA. How it works. The Sleeping Beauty system has two parts: the Sleeping Beauty transposase and a transposon. It was created in 1997 to insert specific pieces of DNA into the genomes of animals with backbones. DNA transposons move by cutting from one spot in the DNA and pasting into another spot (see Fig. 1). This moving process is very exact — a piece of DNA is cut out and moved to another place in the same or different DNA. Like other Tc1/mariner transposases, the Sleeping Beauty transposase puts the transposon into a TA base pair (a tiny part of DNA) in the target DNA. The new spot for the transposon can be in the same piece of DNA or in a different one. In the DNA of mammals like humans, there are about 200 million TA spots. When the transposon goes into a TA spot, it copies the TA part. This copying is a special sign that helps scientists figure out how it works. A new study shows that sometimes it can go into non-TA spots, but this is rare. The transposase can be inside the transposon (like in Fig. 2), or it can come from somewhere else. If it comes from outside, the transposon cannot move again by itself. Transposons that cannot move by themselves (like in Fig. 1) are better for genetic research because they stay in place after being added. In human and other mammal genomes, all transposons are the kind that cannot move by themselves. Even though they have transposase genes, these genes do not work, so they cannot move the transposon. Construction. The transposase gene was named "Sleeping Beauty (SB)" because it was brought back to life
On the evening of 14 November 2017, the Zimbabwe National Army gathered around Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, and got control of the Zimbabwe's national television station and other areas of the city.

Sohni Mahiwal or Suhni Mehar (Punjabi: سوہنی معینوال, ਸੋਹਣੀ ਮਹੀਂਵਾਲ; Sindhi: سهڻي ميهار) is one of the four popular tragic romances of Punjab. The others are Sassi Punnun, Mirza Sahiba, and Heer Ranjha. Sohni Mahiwal is a tragic love story which reverts the classical motif of Hero and Leader. The heroine Sohni, unhappily married to a man she despises, swims every night across the river using an earthenware pot to keep afloat in the water, to where her beloved Mehar herds buffaloes. One night her sister-in-law replaces the earthenware pot with a vessel of unbaked clay, which dissolves in water and she dies in the whirling waves of the river. The story also appears in Shah Jo Risalo and is one of seven popular tragic romances from Sindh. The other six tales are Umar Marui, Sassui Punhun, Lila Chanesar, Noori Jam Tamachi, Sorath Rai Diyach and Momal Rano commonly known as "Seven Heroines" (Sindhi: ست سورميون ) of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. Shah begins the story at the most dramatic moment, when a young woman cries out for help in the cold river, attacked by crocodiles. The whole chapter (Sur Sohni) is merely an extension of this dreadful and yet hoped-for moment when the vessel of her body breaks and she, faithful to her pre-eternal love-covenant with Mehar, will be forever united through death. Sohni is one of the favourite folktales both in Sindh and Punjab.
