Rebuild a Green Planet by Controlling Population

25/02/2012 00:20

The global rate of population have grown so fast that the usage of the natural resources and their supplies have doubled that amount every year and is yet continued to be doubled by every year. It seems quite a serious problem and root cause of many other worries that the experts are able to foresee. The population graph is considered to be dangerous for a green pla net and healthy environment.



Population growth when increases the use of natural resources and the need of basic amenities increase with the direct proportion to that growing population. Having a great number of man power is indeed good for a nation but only when it does have the power to support the ever growing number of the individuals in the society. If a country cannot support the need of its people or if its unable to cater to the basic needs and requirements of its people then that very piece of population becomes a source of pollution to that particular nation. Thus population control is necessary and it should be taken as a serious issue.


If there are many people and few resources then there will be measures that people will find or try to invent which can help them meet out living standards. Out of those measures some will be eco-friendly while other will be harmful to the mother earth and this we cannot stand. This is why population is needed to be controlled to make sure each one is having the right living environment and that the very piece of land is able to fulfill the requirements of the people living in that boundary.

Population is multiplying every year with a reasonably higher ratio thus we need to think seriously about it and measures should be taken at individual levels to reduce the population so a green living can be maintained and each person gets a minimum amount of fresh air and resources to live on.


 

Is your Child Safe at School?

20/02/2012 00:01

Taking your child to school and then bringing him back to home does not complete your responsibility. As a parent you need to be concerned about his health and safety concerns and you should make sure he is hundred percent safe in his school environment which in reverse case might be harmful for your children to survive.

 



Getting your child admitted to a school doesn’t confirms he is not at risk during school hours, thus you should go and inspect his class room, wash room inside the school, the condition of the play ground and activity room or if there is hygiene in cafeteria where your child eat his daily meal.


Being a good parent you should talk directly to the school authorities in case of any thing which is missing especially hygiene factor that may lead to diseases to your as well as other students. If possible collect other parents and take them to the principal’s office for a healthy and fruitful discussion on these topics. Children are too young to understand about safety measures but you should ask their school principal to provide them with special classes on hygiene and safety at times of uncertainty.

If the school authorities are too reluctant to show any interest in your request you can also go to top educational societies which can help you in this regard. These organizations work towards creating healthy and safe study environment for each and every student, thus they can be of good help if school authorities are not ready to listen to you.

Do not get nervous, talk to these voluntary organizations and they will be taking the matter to a higher level to get those innocent souls a healthy and safe learning center which is their first right. You can also solve this issue by going on strike or organizing revolutionary processions against the school authorities.


A Must Read For First Time Travelers

18/02/2012 23:36

A car plays a key role in deciding whether your journey will be a fun experience or it will be a boring or even more worst experience and if a you get a cheap car rental with class service and great performance what else you would like to search for to ensure that your holiday car hire is going to be an economical trip.

But beware and do not just get attracted by the very offers given by many local car providers, always give it a chance to see whether you are being fooled or the offer in itself is a genuine one.


After all you are the buyer thus you have full right to know everything in detail about the offer as made by the car provider. It has been a history that many offers by local car providers fool innocent travelers and in the end they realize that it was nothing but an eye-wash. To make sure this shouldn’t happen with you , you will need to follow some steps before deciding any car model or service;

Do not trust
The very first rule of a car hiring says that you should not trust your car provider when its about rates because they try to get as much money as they can from a single buyer but you need to act smart and confirm rates with at least five more providers among the same niche and locality. This will help in getting the best bargain.

 

Go for quality providers
Car is a bit sensitive issue when it comes to hiring one because it is about trusting someone else’s vehicle so you should chase for quality providers rather than relying on local providers. Always look for companies which have a history of successful trips in the past years. You can always check reviews given by past users online or via other medium. But make sure you don’t skip these two very important steps while hiring a car. These will help you in getting a best deal and a right car.
 

A Must Read Before You Plan To Refinance A Care Loan

12/02/2012 03:53

Refinancing a car loan is indeed a great idea and a beneficial concept! Be it a personal finance, home loan or any other form of financing, getting a loan is not just difficult but tedious too! If you are planning to refinance your car loan, this is a must read for you so you can stop and rethink whether you really need to refinance your car or not?




Refinancing will not be a better option in the following instances;
 

  • If your car loan interest is too low to be bothered about


If your current loan for your car has a lower rate of interest then it wouldn’t be much fruitful to refinance your car loan and get yourself one more loan.
 

  • When loan period is about to complete


There is no point in refinancing a car loan if you are left with a very little time to coverup the past loan amount taken for the car. Refinancing at this time will not be a good decision and you will only end up repenting afterwards.
 

  • If you are planning to sell the car in next two years or so


If you believe you are bored of driving the same car alone and you have planned to sell your existing car in the next two years or so then it will not be the right decision for you to refinance your car loan.
 

  • You owe a very small amount to the financing company


If you are left with a very small amount yet to be repaid then again there is no point in refinancing because it will not give any benefit in terms of interest.
 

  • Refinancing an old car is not easy


It is easy to get a new car financed but to avail a loan for a used car is equally difficult and bothersome. Also because it is not in the interest of the company and you too don’t get much benefitted it is many times overlooked by the financial loan providers.

Here are few painless ways through which we can reduce not only consumption but we can also minimize wastage and cut our expenses on energy bills….
All by saving energy.....


Turn on your thermostat
A programmable thermostat is a remarkable creation which helps in making your rooms hot or cooler when you aren’t at home by reducing interior and exterior temperature which thereby helps in saving energy by minimizing energy loss.



Judicially use ceiling fans and lights

If you have ceiling fans in your rooms then it is better to make a judicial use of ceiling fans in each of your rooms. If no one is present in a particular room, then it is better to switch off the ceiling fan and keep lights off too.

Home Electronics

These items are found to consume 400 watts of electricity when you turn them on and the similar items are supposed to consume around 4 watts of energy when not in use, so it is advisable to turn them off completely by unplugging them or by using a surge suppressor.

Women no doubt have enormous potentials and will power to stay over and above others especially her better half. Woman today is hyper active in all sorts of activities be it caring children, elders, loving or proving themselves at professional front, they are just working best in every field and the ever raising number of women employees and entrepreneurs stands as a live example to show women power.
 
But even after working so hard and taking so many risks ranging from physical to mental activities, she herself is so careless when it comes to her security needs.

 

A woman after all is a woman, tender and sweet! She always feels secured with her partner but this is not about flowing in emotions and overlooking certain very important aspects like for example life insurance cover.

You need to give yourself the desired amount of respect and value because you will be respected in society only if you respect your own self. Though it’s your true inner self but do not always act as a selfless creature because in the end you will find that no one but your saved finances will help you in fighting against any hard time and none other than life insurance can be a better investment-saving facility for you.

 

Penny Stocks and Experiements!

22/01/2012 01:06

Speculative investments rather than running for several blue chip and fortune 500 companies are generally known as penny stock investing. Unlike bigger firms these are those which are generally not seen on stock market boards and are either new or unknown to investors. Penny stocks are also known as micro caps or juniors. Prices are highly volatile and so are gains and losses in assets are natural.

 

 

Due to this market being so volatile investors get attracted towards it. Those who are adventurous and risk taking majorly shift their focus from bigger market to this investing zone that allows reaping higher returns with associated risks.

 

Players know how to play well thus they jump to this highly volatile market and make best efforts to achieve higher returns in minimum time period.


Of course, there is more risk than buying bonds, blue chips or defensive stocks - but this added risk is tempered with the possibility of making the big gains. Most penny stocks, but not all, are resource or technology companies who initially sold shares in an effort to raise money for exploration or product development programs. Many of the companies have large debt loads and are not necessarily making more money than they are losing. However, it is the potential of a major or even minor success in their quest that often incites dramatic price climbs, and this is where their value lies.


 

Risk with big gains is the biggest quality that those adventurers get attracted towards penny stocks.

 

Though on having a proper research you will get to know that there are only two to three superior stock companies that you should invest in but once you are able to identify such big fishes then your investment opportunities will double and your returns will be doubled too. So it is advisable to conduct proper research and investigation before making final investments, no matter how adventurous you are!
