Seed certification in Pakistan involves a legal and regulatory system overseen by the Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department. The process has two main stages: 1) crops grown for seed production are inspected for genetic purity, and 2) seed samples are tested after harvest to evaluate quality based on standards. There are four categories of certified seed in Pakistan: pre-basic, basic, certified, and approved seeds, which differ in terms of the generation produced and entities that inspect and distribute the seeds.
Each bag of seed has a label which contains the seed's history. This label is issued to the seed producer. Each bag of seed has a blue label which contains the seed's history. This label is issued to the seed producer

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
What is Seed certification & its methods In Pakistan

Seedcertification:
Certification is the process by which a state seed certifying agency gives official
recognition to seeds produced of a cultivar or named variety under a limited generation
system which ensures genetic purity, identity, and a given minimum level of quality.
Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department provides quality control cover
through registration of crop variety, crop inspection and seed testing. This system is
being implemented at federal level under the Seed Act, 1976. 2.4. INSTITUTIONAL
PROVISIONS AND SALIENT FEATURES OF. SEED ACT, 1976.
Introduction:
National seed program has passed through many transitional phases in Pakistan
from 1947-61. The seed of improved varieties used to be multiplied and distributed by
Department of Agriculture. Most of the farmers often practised to use their own saved
seed or they exchanged seed with other fellow farmers. West Pakistan Agricultural
Development Corporation (WPADC) was established in 1961, to initiate systematic seed
production and its distribution through its own mobile marketing network. This system
remained highly inefficient due to excessive procurement than the actual sale. Though
due to such inefficiency, the WPADC was dissolved but it created seed quality
awareness though the establishment of seed testing laboratories in the country.
Realizing the importance of seed quality control, variety registration, seed production
and multiplication programme, the government launched a seed industry project during
1976 with the assistance of FAO/IBRD. This has provided sound basis for quality seed
production programme based on scientific lines (Fig.2.1). The seed system was given
legal coverage through promulgation of Seed Act, 1976. Necessary institutional
infrastructure was established as under:-
1. National Seed Council (NSC) at Federal Level.
2. Provincial Seed Councils (PSC) at each provincial level.
3. Federal Seed Certification Department (FSCD).
4. National Seed Registration Department (NSRD).
2. Under the economic austerity measures, the FSCD and NSRD were merged together
during 1997 and the new organization has been designated as Federal Seed
Certification & Registration Department (FSC&RD).

1. Pre-basicseed.
Pre basic seed ensures genetic purity which provides the source of the initial and
recurring increase of basic seed. Its quality is checked by the Federal Seed
Certification Department in the seed lots after harvest. For identification the bags of
pre basic seed are identified with white tag having a diagonal violet line.
2. Basic Seed.
Basic seed is the first progeny of pre basic seed handed in such a way so as to
maintain its specific identity and purity. This class of seed is a source for certified
seed production directly or through registered growers. The Federal Seed
Certification Department checks the field crop to determine its suitability for further
seed multiplication. Bags of basic seed are identified with white tags
3. Certifiedseed.
Certified Seed is the progeny of basic seed and is produced by the registered
growers selected by the Punjab Seed Corporation. The Corporation upon clearance
from the Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department, procure the seed
and caries out the cleaning and packing at their plants. Bags of certified seed are
identified with blue tags.
4. Approvedseed
Seed from known sources as approved by Federal Seed Certification & Registration
Department.
