A rare migratory bird has made its presence felt not once but twice in Iloilo City in a span of three months, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Western Visayas bared on Wednesday, April 14.
Dubbed the Glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus), the colorful bird reportedly made its “first recorded touchdown” in the Philippines on November 29, 2020 in the wetlands of Iloilo City.

February 2, 2021, marked the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, in Ramsar, Iran. The day is also celebrated annually as the World Wetlands Day. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands is the intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
The contracting parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands recognise the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands as regulators of water regimes and as habitats supporting a characteristic flora and fauna and that wetlands constitute a resource of great economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value, the loss of which would be irreparable.

Well, quadrant is a 2-dimensional division where the X and Y axes go into negatives. Octant applies to the equivalent for a cube. But with a sphere (although technically I saw on QI that the term oblate spheroid is a more precise description of the Earth) the Z axis (depth/altitude) seems less meaningful, and with map geometry we re generally discussing 2d represeantations of a 3d object – the surface, not the full sphere.
So I d go with quadrant , except talking about being in 4 hemispheres is more explicit that each axis is considered seperately in the calculation.
Totally should get back to work, though lol

Well see i don t think it is factually incorrect.
Both increased rates, to some extend. Both have not done enough. The labour party has campaigned on not doing anything else for beneficiaries and got voted in on this promise among others – those dear cross over fiscal conservatives votes came in handy winning an all out majority..
So yes, in my personal opinion, they are both the same when it comes to increasing the benefits of all beneficiaries to such an extend that it would be at the very lest 480.00 per week (covid relieve for full timer after tax). Missing in action and hiding behind meaningless feel good rethoric.
