How You Can Help Wildlife ?

Live in the City :
Many of us yearn to live in the country, so we can be closer to nature and enjoy the peace and quiet. It's ironic that this urge is actually destroying thousands of acres of wildlife habitat each year in Wisconsin. We need to develop a new environmental ethic in Wisconsin, encouraging everyone to stay in the cities. We need to make cities more liveable and leave the remaining wild areas to the wildlife.
Support Strict Zoning :
Landuse zoning is one of the few tools available to the government to protect wetlands, natural areas and environmental corridors. Unfortunately, such zoning is often opposed by powerful land development or political forces. It's important for citizens to show support for zoning to balance against these negative pressures.







Create Habitat in Your Backyard :
You can help sustain wildlife in your own backyard, with careful selection of native plants, trees, structures, nest boxes, water and food.

Conserve Energy :
We must work together to reduce our energy consumption. This is vital to stopping climate change and global warming. Energy conservation also reduces direct habitat losses (from coal mining, oil drilling and oil spills) and toxic pollution to air and water, which all threaten wildlife.

Limit Your Family Size :
Each person requires space and natural resources to live. Our human population is rapidly rising to levels which make it difficult to provide adequate resources for humans while sustaining a healthy environment for wildlife. If each couple limited themselves to no more than 2 children, our world’s population could stabilize and support everyone without conflict or suffering.

Get Involved and Talk to Your Legislators :
Many of our current governmental regulations are not helpful for preserving wildlife habitat or conserving energy, and some policies actually reward large energy users with lower bulk rates. Citizens need to contact their legislators and ask for better policies.

How can we protect wildlife?

Because our population is growing and our cities are sprawling into the countryside, fewer natural wildlife habitat areas are left each year. And the habitat that remains has often been degraded to bear little resemblance to the natural wild areas which existed in the past. In many areas, only islands of habitat remain, isolated in the middle of large agricultural or urban developments - preventing normal interactions, healthy breeding or safe travel for many species. Some wildlife species, such as deer, rabbits and chipmunks, are adaptable to many conditions, but other creatures have very specific plant, moisture and temperature requirements. These are the endangered species which we risk losing if we don't preserve adequate amounts of habitat for their survival.
By the Climate Change :
Because many types of plants and animals have specific habitat requirements, climate change could cause disastrous losses of wildlife species from Wisconsin. A one or two degree change in average annual temperature will translate into large changes in Wisconsin, affecting snowcover in the winter and excess heat in the summer. Many northern Wisconsin plants and animals depend on a blanket of snow to insulate them from extreme low temperatures of winter. It may be 25 degrees below zero in the open air, but barely freezing (32 degrees) beneath the snow. Without this insulation, many plant species (even trees) will decline or disappear entirely. Hibernating mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects will be harmed also. Similarly, higher temperatures would increase evaporation year round, and may reduce rainfall, leading to drier than normal conditions across the state. Plants and wildlife are sensitive to moisture changes, so they will be harmed by this dryness. Coldwater trout streams may become too warm to support trout, or may dry up. Unfortunately, trees and plants can't simply pick up and move to a more hospitable location. Instead, they will die where they stand, exposing and starving the wildlife that depend on them. Drought tolerant plants and trees will gradually spread to replace them by seed, but this process takes time. In many parts of Wisconsin, natural habitat is chopped up and isolated in small islands. This means plants and animals have no bridge to allow them to move with the changing climate.

Due to Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals :
Pesticides are deliberately spread to make the environment toxic to certain plants, insects or rodents, so it shouldn't be surprising that other plants and wildlife are often harmed at the same time. While many of the worst pesticides have been outlawed in the past 30 years, scientists have found numerous worries with several pesticides which are still legal and commonly used. In addition, many chemical pollutants are toxic to wildlife, such as PCBs, mercury, petroleum byproducts, solvents, anti-freeze, etc.

Due to Mismanagement:
Some native wildlife can become a problem when released from their natural population controls. When wolves are scarce and hunters too few, white-tailed deer will often strip the woods of native wildflowers (such as Trilliums) and even certain tree species (such as Hemlock), when their populations are allowed to become too high. Canada geese are beautiful birds, but when cityfolk feed native geese as if they were pets, their populations can rise to uncomfortable levels in urban areas, resulting in polluted waterways and manure-laden lawns. Gulls can become similar problems, when they scavange for scraps from our garbage heaps and landfills.

Do you know the value of your life?

Think by Yourself
Living it as a living example without imposing it on anyone else
Admitting such inner values to the outside world, to your family members, friends, colleagues at work or customers
Improving your own way of living and realizing these - your very own - values of life
Investing in the improvements, maintenance, free distribution and free peaceful and loving expansion of your values among all those who are interested in or want to follow your own living example as a result of seeing you more happy in your family and with your partner, more happy in business or job, more successful in all you do and of course more healthy than the average human being.
If your true values of life are in real harmony with your innermost divine being, your soul and heart, then of course you will be more happy than others, more successful than others and far more healthy - inner and outer health - than others. True spiritual values practiced in full harmony with God and hence with your own innermost spiritual being always result in excellent well being and happiness in all situations of your eternal life.


The most valuable things in life can neither be stored in a bank account - nor in a vault or purse - the most valuable aspects of life are of different nature - NON-material !
Think by yourself that when you are free from everythings such as:
Freedom to move anywhere on this planet, freedom to travel, freedom to select a partner based on spiritual values or human values rather than survival values.
Freedom to select job, business, location of living
Freedom of education - freedom to learn what ever you want
Freedom to do any time and anywhere what you love to do
Freedom to change anything in life
Freedom to make your very own personal decisions and realize those decisions on your own.

Depending on your education, culture or country you live, grow up or work, you may be influenced by your surrounding and even pulled away or distracted from your own goal of life and true values.
Take a time - in peace and may be in nature - to think about what is of true innermost value to you.

My dear friend,
Life is too intersting to talk and to see but it is hard to survive with.
So be a part of God follower you will never have to wet your eyes in small and small trouble because God will give us strenght to overcome with all problems.
Keep smiling,,,,,

About Fashion

Fashion does not always mean that, you have to wear what the others wear. How about thinking, I will make the world wear what I wear? You can always make your own style statement, is it not?
If you had this misconception that fashion is only for the slim and trim, then think again. Even the clothing industry has now realized that a perfect body is not what everyone possesses. So clothes that fit one and all have been designed and that is good news for those who wear plus-sized clothes.

Several new trends have sprung up in the clothes’ market these days. New innovations not only in style but also in textiles and fabrics have emerged.
For instance consider leggings, which have made a super comeback and are seen just about everywhere. Leggings of all kind like textured, of different fabrics are in vogue. Basically the layered look is in. The other layering styles include wearing two tops, one over another or sporting a jacket over a top and many more such styles. Capris are steadily doing better and long skirts are the top choice of women wanting to look feminine and elegant.

Another trend are the military patterned clothes. They stand out in the crowd and look very fashionable too. They somehow give you a feeling that you are dressing with a purpose! Well, the purpose here, as we all know, is to look dashing!
These days, ‘bold’ is the word to look out for. Bold colors, bold prints, bold patterns, bold cuts are ruling the fashion scene currently. It gels so very well with the bold attitude of the youth today, who care a damn about what others think and that has reflected in their fashion too. The apt word for the fashion today is also ‘shocking’, as every other outfit is different and has something unique and attractive and it never ceases to surprise you.

When it comes to summer, fashion in this season asks for sober and pastel colors. Floral prints are also in for this summer. And in the scorching summer heat, one is bound to sweat. Sweat not only leads to body odor but also spoils clothes. Sweat-resistant clothes or clothes that emit fragrance are a great boon to people who wear tight clothes or who live in weathers that are hot. This way, the clothes last longer and can be used over and over again without getting spoilt. Especially fabrics like silk stain easily and the stains do not go even after a lot of washing and dry cleaning. But sweat proof clothing solves all these problems. In fact these days, clothes are stain-resistant and even waterproof.
And smart clothing has acquired an altogether new meaning today. It simply does not mean dressing in a chic manner but dressing in a technical manner. Imagine this, clothes fitted with solar panels so that they generate the necessary heat to keep you warm in the extreme cold as and when you want.

The passion for music differs as per genre whereby youngsters mostly love fast and groovy numbers. People of the older times love classical music whereas kids like rhymes and children music. Not only this, many are attracted to listen natural sounds such as chirping of birds, water falling from the mountains and religious chants.When a person sits down with his eyes closed to listen his favorite music, the heart beat goes balanced and mind got relaxed. Music tunes the soul and renews the body.Playing music also relaxes the mind and slows down the tension. Interested people find pleasure in playing his favorite instrument.

Do you want to know about Feelings, Emotions,and Thoughts?

Feelings, Emotions, Thoughts
Some things in life cause people to feel, these are called emotional reactions. Some things in life cause people to think, these are sometimes called logical or intellectual reactions. Thus life is divided between things that make you feel and things that make you think. The question is, if someone is feeling, does that mean that they are thinking less? It probably does. If part of your brain is being occupied by feeling, then it makes sense that you have less capacity for thought. That is obvious if you take emotional extremes, such as crying, where people can barely think at all. This does not mean that emotional people are not intelligent; it just means that they might be dumber during the times in which they are emotional. Emotion goes on and off for everyone, sometimes people cry, and sometimes they are completely serious.

Some things in life can identifiably cause more emotion than other things.
  • Color causes more emotion than black and white. So anything with more color in it is going to be more emotional to look at, whether it is the difference between a gold or silver sword, or a gold or silver computer. In both cases the gold is going to be more emotional.
  • Things that are personal are emotional, personal things that people like and that they feel are “close” to them. Things like home or anything someone likes actually. That is the definition of emotion after all, something that causes feeling. So if you like it, it is probably going to cause more feeling. Other things aside from liking something could cause emotions from it, such as curiosity, but usually like is one of the stronger emotions. You could say that the two are directly proportional, the more you like something, the more it is going to cause feeling.
So, the more you like something (or hate something, or have any strong emotional reaction to anything), the more emotional it is, but that doesn’t mean that it might not also cause you to think about it. One can’t label everything in life as either emotion or thought however. Life isn’t a scale with emotion on one end and thought on the other. There are other factors involved, things like adrenaline and physical action, which might also cause increased attention that isn’t either emotional or thoughtful. When you’re running you have a lot of attention on the fact that you are running, and you’re not thinking about it or being emotional about it. This means that just because you like something, doesn’t mean that it is emotional. You might like running, but it doesn’t cause emotions in you. What does emotion mean then? Emotions must be thoughts that you can’t identify, when you feel something, it must be that you are thinking about something unconsciously. You just have no idea what it is, usually. Emotions and feelings are thoughts then. By that I mean that they can be broken down into parts and figured out what those parts are. And thoughts are just really parts that you can identify. So the difference between emotions, feelings and thoughts is that you know what thoughts are about, but you don’t have as good an idea of what emotions and feelings are, as they are more obscure and harder to identify.

If you think about it that way, thought and emotion are both in part feelings, that is, to some extent you feel them right away, in addition to them resulting in feelings later on. But that still means that feelings are always the end result. Then again, thoughts might be the result of current thoughts. That is like emotion, unconscious emotional thoughts are going to result in unconscious emotional thoughts later on. Even feelings could be called unconscious thoughts, because thought is just focusing on one thing for a brief period of time.
Therefore emotion, thought and feeling are really just periods of focus on certain things. With thought you just recognize what it is that you are focusing on. With emotions you feel deeply about what you are focusing on, and with feelings you are focusing on it less. Physical stimulus also results in feelings, and then you focus on those feelings, you aren’t necessarily focused on what caused the feelings (the physical stimulus itself) however.

Thus life is really just different types of feelings; you could categorize all of life as feeling. Even when you think you are in a period when you’re not feeling anything, you really are feeling something; you just don’t recognize what it is that you are feeling. Remember that feelings are thoughts you can’t identify. And since a thought is going to be about something, another way to think about life is just stuff happening.

Since emotion is all your feelings being affected at once, emotions are stronger than feelings. Feelings however are a more directed focus. When you feel something you can always identify what that one thing is. When you have an emotion, the emotion is more distant, but stronger. All your feelings must feel a certain way about whatever is causing the emotion. So that one thing is affecting your entire system. Feelings can then be defined as immediate unconscious thought, and emotions as unconscious thought.

How do you treat your friend?

One of the main things to do is break the friendship out of it's comfort zone. If you meet someone that you want to know better, invite them out for lunch, movie, coffee, etc, something outside of the activity that you normally know this person through. Another thing that doesn't hurt is to attend to that person's high points or low points in their life.
some points to be noted:
  • You are not the only person in that friend's life. They have other friends too. If one day, you call your friend to ask him to go out with you, and she/he said, they can't. Don't get upset, they have other people to take care of. Is best to try to meet your friend's friends and get to know them , this way you and your friend will have a great time together.
  • If your friend is sick and you have time to be there for them, do it. You may not get the same respond from that friend if you are sick, but I am pretty sure that another friend of yours will be there for you. That's life, you give and you get, never from the same person you helped, but from others. Be there for your friend. Never said anything bad about your friend, to your friends, you never know if one day your friends meet your friend and they said, "Oh this is the person you told me about." Please, lets try to be friendly and sincere.
  • Don't just remember your friends when you see them in the streets. Do you know how to keep up with your friend, if you don't know, whatis going on with them. How can you be friends. Friends get married, have children, get sick, get divorce, become professionals. Don't you want to be part of your friend's life. Be part of his/her life, they will be part of yours. Having a friend is having the opportunity to share your dreams with someone special.
  • Keep up with your friend, by e-mail, call them on their birthday, mother's day, Friendship day, send pictures of you and your family. Write a letter if they are very far from you. Plan trips together, when you travel as a group you can save lots of money. let your children spend time with your friend's children. Have a picnic, share your family and blessings.
  • There are many advantages to have a close friend. As per example you get to be a bridesmaid, you get to attend many birthdays, you get to have fun with your friend and their family. If you are alone in the Nepal, your friends can become your family. But remember treat people they way you want to be treated.
