Want To Grow Wildflowers in Your Garden?

While walking in near woods we find some beautiful flowers. That flowers grow in nature without any effort of humans, such flowers are wild but also beautiful to look at. If you want to grow such wild flowers in garden, follow few tips to grow them in your garden.

Kenya Appeals for Emergency Food Aid of $406 Millions

Kenya’s President Mwai Kibaki, said that the country is facing a big food crisis and needs and immediate aid from the international donors.

Around one third of Kenya’s 34 million population is into food crisis. The main reason behind this crisis is the drought that hit the nation last year. And there was this post election violence that took lives of around 1000 people and tens of thousands of farmers were displaced from their land.

Actual estimation to fight against the food crisis is 37 billion shillings ($469.5 million). With this money, the government can deal with the emergency need of the nation till August. The Kenyan Government has already set aside 5 billion shillings ($63.4 million) for the cause. It goes to the International donors for the remaining 35 billion shillings ($406 millions).

The agriculture sector of Kenya is struggling with corruption, which the country may have to tackle first.

Cleaner Air Increases Life Expectancy

It might be good to know that the live expectancy rate of Americans has increased since three years. And what contributes to this is the cleaner air in US cities.

Well, even I felt amused to hear that American cities have cleaner air. I must show this news to all those people of the world who say that America is increasing the pollution in the world. This would definitely appeal that Americans are the world’s most environmental conscious people of the world.

Well there was a research conducted on how clean our air is, which showed good results. There was a significant decrease in the concentration of fine particles per cubic meter to 10 micrograms per cubic meter. This is just enough to increase the life expectancy to a round 7 months. The overall drop in the pollution resulted in increase of 15 percent in the life expectancy rate of 15 U.S cities.

And very soon, you don’t have to plan your vacation in distant beaches for fresh air. It will be readily available in the city you live in.

"Best Job in the World" Ad, Crashes the Website Server

My professor used to stay that people don’t get paid for enjoyment. I wish he had seen that advertisement in islandreefjob.com.

It says that you get paid million dollars for just a job which is much alike enjoying a holiday in a tropical island of Australia. I say this is a dream job for any person.

Well, this has drawn the interest of millions of people around the world. The people range from Olympic medal winner in Switzerland to Teenage Sun-seekers of Britain. According to Queensland Tourism, at least 200 people are accessing the website every minute and most of them are applying for the job. This over-curiosity resulted in over-response, which in turn resulted in a crash of the web server for many times.

The web site offers a salary of $105,000, for six months job. All you have to do is go scuba diving, snorkeling and hiking and enjoy at least 25 nearby island resorts. And then you will have to write your experiences into a blog.

You will be provided a luxurious home to live in and outstanding transportation facilities to explore the island.

Feeling Hungry? Let’s Walk By the Street

When you are into a serious driving and are feeling hungry and home is still far away, what do you do?

If you are not a rich person, you would definitely stop by a street-side vendor and dig into a hot dog. (I do that even I don’t feel hungry)

The best thing about the street-side food is that it costs us so low. And I am ready to pay even double the amount for such delicious food.

US is a great place to set up a street-side food business and run it in good profits. People here don’t care for obesity or any other side affects that can cause due to junk food. They just love eating and keep eating as long as their stomach is ready to burst.

This is the same reason why we find many street-side vendors happy with their business in US.

The most popular junk food found street-side is Ice-cream where they sell them in trucks.

Oil Addiction: Addiction We Are Not Aware Of

You have come out of your house, now you have to go to your work place. Except for your work place is at a walk-able distance, I am sure you are going to have some vehicle to reach your workplace on time.

This is not just one example of oil addiction. Say, how do you cook your food with out your stove on? Perhaps not everybody is going to use a Microwave oven; not all the time. Even the usage of Microwave oven is somehow related to oil usage in it. This is how the biggest addiction worldwide is going on legally and ruling the pollution of the environment.

“Foolish logic”, said one of my learned friend when I said this to him,”you can’t live without breathing for even a minute (or two, lets assume). Does that mean that you are addicted to breathing?”

You cannot live without air, its OK; but you can live without oil, without your car, whatever it is running on oil, but you are still not trying to live without it. Then why cannot I call it addiction.

The thing here is that Addiction is not an offensive word; addicting to wrong habits is.

It is bad if you addicted to drugs, videogames, smoking. But it’s OK if you are addicted to Electricity. It is OK if you are addicted to Oil. You are trying to enhance your life through it.

But still you are addicted.

What Is Feeding Information Explosion?

Information explosion – this term has become very popular these days. Many people today are not much concerned about population explosion compared to information explosion.

It is estimated that 245 people are born and 102 people die each minute (approximately). So it adds up to 347 records every minute in the form of entries.

Guess - at this moment how many of them are shopping in shops and markets where they record information of the consumer transaction. The number is big and hard to guess. This adds up to some more hundreds of shopping records every minute.

Hospitals are a very sophisticated these days. They have improved the average life of a human being to 65 years from 40 years. How many people are taking treatment in hospitals where every small detail of the patient is recorded? This adds up to some tens of records (lets assume) for every minute.

News sources are updated every minute. It is not one website or one news channel or one newspaper. There are thousands of them which many times record the same news but in respective data bases.

When all the information is added together, you can know what is feeding information explosion.
