Abstract: Losing an election is not a suitable 'song' that politicians aspire to sing and conceding defeat in public is what no politician ever prays to do. Nonetheless, there must be a winner and there must be a loser especially in a competition as politics. This work investigated the underlying meanings of the concession speeches of President Goodluck Jonathan, Governor Kayode Fayemi and Governor Mitt Romney. The study applied Fairclough and Wodak's Critical Discourse Analysis to analyse the concession speeches of the said politicians. The study is carried out using a qualitative descriptive methodology to analyse the pragmatic, grammatical elements and cohesive devices that are used to decode the ideologies in the speeches............

Abstract: Commercial Dairy farming in Assam had begun during British period. After establishing a bond with Nepal through signing the Treaty of Segowli in 1816, the British Government encouraged the migration of Gorkhas from Nepal with their families. After the Yandaboo treaty in 1826 the Gorkha army men along with the British reached Burma and the kinsman of the Gorkha soldiers accompanied them were offered to rear buffaloes there as sundry jobs. The Syiems (chiefs) of United Khasi Jayantia Hill, who levy a grazing tax on immigrants- a tax which they cannot levy on their own subjects, had encouraged Gorkha graziers to immigrate in this part of NER. During War II numbers of Gorkha Graziers moved to NER from Burma creating milk pockets in different parts of Assam. Depending on this milk pockets numbers of Dairy Cooperatives came up..............

Abstract: Recent disasters are becoming increasingly diversified, larger and increasingly uncertain. However, disaster management still lacks various research and lessons, and it exposes various problems in management. Disruption of the command system, a number of non-practical response manuals, failure to function effectively at the local government headquarters, a lack of unified system, failure of national emergency support function, disruption of central control tower. The majority of responding problems are due to the manual method of approaching each type of disaster and the distributed management system.In this study, we aim to review the disaster safety management plan from the viewpoint of total value chain aiming at total optimization. To this end, the system should be directed to a systematic model that is characterized by a systematic approach to disaster management and safety management.
