“President Jacques
Chirac and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin warned George W Bush about
unprovoked aggression against Iraq”
“They said it would
destabilise the Middle East and inflict untold dangers on Europe”
“Saddam Hussein of Iraq
warned that an American invasion would ignite the “Mother of All Battles” and
would “open the Gates of Hell””
“These French leaders
and Saddam were absolutely right”
“It is now confirmed
by the waves of desperate refugees flooding into Europe together with the
formation of the rampaging wild men of IS”
“In 2006 the Bush
administration, cheered on by Israel, planned to invade Syria and destroy
Hezbollah in Lebanon”
“Fortunately at that
time the invasion did not occur”
“Some intelligent
people in Washington asked who they would put in power to run Syria. They had
no answer”
“Saudi Arabia created
an alternative solution”
“They brought in
bloodthirsty jihadist fanatics under a variety of different names – the so
called IS”
“These fanatics were
unleashed against Syria and the Assad regime”
“They were trained by
the US, Britain and France in Lebanon and Jordan”
“These fanatics were
financed by Saudi Arabia & United Arab Emirates on the understanding that
they would not come near the Saudi Kingdom”
“US Psychological
Warfare teams fanned the flames of hatred between Sunni and Shia Muslims”
“To divide and conquer
was their method. It had proved valuable in Iraq”
“There has been four
years of war in Syria, which is now reduced to rubble because of everyone
fighting each other”
“There are over 9.5
million Syrian refugees and 6.5 million are internally displaced and homeless”
“Three million have
already fled to Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan”
“Wave upon wave of
mostly Syrian refugees are entering into Europe
“They are mostly on
their way to Germany with other countries now closing their borders”
“Hungary, Slovakia,
Poland and the Czechs are now declaring they do not want any Muslims in spite
there being some Christian Syrians”
“Unsurprisingly Israel
had invited 600,000 French Jews to come and settle last year after the Charlie
Hebdo situation”
“Now Israel says it
has no room for Arab refugees. The double standards of Israel are there for all
to see””
“To halt this dreadful
human refugee crisis is to stop the western-led war against Syria – today!”
“A stop must be made
in arming and financing these criminal gangs of jihadists”
“The US, France,
Britain and the Saudis must cut off the supply of arms and money to the
jihadists and end this Syrian bloodbath”
“We can no longer put
up with the hypocritical moralizing from the West over these refugees”
“We must remember the
warnings of Chirac and de Villepin”
“We are now reaping
what we have sown by allowing our politicians to wreak havoc in the Middle East”
“Understand that there
were 3.1 million people who were displaced after the Iraq War as a result of
the US invasion”
“In addition there
were 2 million in Afghanistan caused by the Russian and then the US invasion”
“Further add to this
Somalia and Libya, as a result of western military interferences”
“When will power crazy
regimes start to take responsibility for their actions?”
“As always it is the
bully boys who go in, create hell and ask questions later, often without any
exit strategy to their methods”
“The tragedy is that
nobody learns and it is always the innocent people who pay the price with their
lives”
“They pay for the
demands of power crazy politicians – the shame is on all of you!”

husband started searching the streets calling on friends and family, but no one
had seen her”
“Karen disappeared in
April 2013 when she was 14 years with no money or mobile phone and no clothes”
“Her parents thought
she had been kidnapped”
“Thousands of girls
have gone missing in recent years in Mexico State, a staggering 1,238 women and
girls were reported missing”
“Of these 53% were
girls under the age of 17, no one knows how many have been found dead or alive
or are still missing”
“It is the most
dangerous State to be a woman. At least 2,228 were murdered in the past decade”
“Elizabeth reported
her daughter missing after three hours of frantic searching”
“The police will not
entertain opening up a file until that person has gone missing for 72 hours,
not even for a child”
“It was Elizabeth and
her husband, Alejandro, who took matters into their own hands and did their own
investigation”
“This was done through
their daughters social network accounts”
“They found an account
they did not know about where a man caught their attention”

with girls wearing very few clothes and had big guns”

as a man who travelled a lot and that he was coming to see Karen soon”
“He would give her a
smartphone so they could keep in touch”

majority are being targeted online and are being taken out of the country and
forced into prostitution”
“Karen’s family put
pressure on the police to issue an ‘amber alert’, which was put all over the
country”
“They had plastered
official missing posters at every bus terminal and toll booth around Mexico
City”
“They got their
daughter’s case put on television and radio”
“Their tenacity paid
off and 16 days after Karen disappeared she was abandoned at a bus terminal”
“She was with another
girl, who had been registered as missing in a different State”
“It was the publicity
that spooked their trafficker, who had planned to take them to New York”
“He had promised the
girls music careers and fame”
“These traffickers
play on the innocence of naïve young girls”
“They have no
understanding of the magnitude of the dangers that await them”
“One has to ask
regarding the incompetence of the Mexican Government that does precious little
about law and order in this country”
“The Government is
ruled by the drug barons and by all that is not decent in society”
“What chance does any
honest citizen have in this unlawful State?”
“The Government is
useless in their position of authority and a new Government that is law abiding
should be elected”
“Corruption is widespread
and causes suffering to its entire people and it is now time for a different
approach”
“The people and
especially women must start to feel safe in their own country at long last”
“It is down to the
people to speak and for their voices to be heard”
“No longer can they
put up with wholesale deceit, corruption and murder!”
13th September 2015
“The sadness and
hopelessness of refugees around the world gives off an energy of gross negative
thinking”
“These pitiful souls
carry this negative energy everywhere they go”
“It infiltrates the
positive energies that are in Europe and the Middle East”
“It replaces them with
a hole of depression for what is now lost in their lives”
“This world now has
many holes of depression”
“It is difficult to
re-energise again, as the negative energies run deep into the earth’s soul”
“Much healing must be
given by those who have the gifts and can once again redress the balance”
“If this is not done
then the depression and hopelessness will continue to grow and spread”
“Solutions to world
problems are not governed by single countries alone”
“It is by huge numbers
of countries that must join together to bring about relief & recognise the
sanctity of life throughout this world”
“No longer can it be
left to a select few to undertake the burdens of the many countries that fail
to do their responsible bit”
“For peace to be
established there must be a Universal Forum that sets the rules of engagement
& brings about peace through lawful actions”
“No longer can the
world tolerate the abysmal goings on by tyrants”
“They rule for their
own self-interest and ignore the sufferings of their people”
“There must be an
international body that is released from the constraints of those who pay
towards it”
“Unless they become
truly independent and law sustaining, nothing will ever get sorted out”
“This world is
collapsing under the heavy strains of injustice, incompetence and corruption on
every level”
“The people of this
world are crying out for peace and justice. The Governments continue to ignore
their pleas”
“The time is now right
for an insurgence of new life policies”

must be finally observed through the rule of law by all”

Labour Party has elected Jeremy Corbyn as its new leader”

controversial leadership contest in recent British political history”
“Corbyn won the vote
in the first round taking 59.5% of the votes cast”
“His support base was
derived largely from the left-leaning members of the party”
“There have been many
new members who had joined the party after its crushing election defeat in May
of this year”
“Jeremy Corbyn will
bring to politics debates which have been shelved”
“This was because the
Labour Party had felt were too unpopular or too controversial to discuss them”
“Corbyn will be able
to tackle David Cameron with an iron fist and he won’t allow the Conservatives
to get away with anything”
“This will keep David
Cameron on his toes for the rest of his political leadership”
“Jeremy Corbyn will
make a worthy adversary and he is not a man to mince his words, but will hit
the jugular each time he does not agree”
“He is a caring
character, but can be vitriolic in his remarks of what he sees is right and
where the British public has been let down”
“This new political
agenda will be a wakeup call which Parliament needs”
“It will allow matters
to get done and no longer be shelved, because it has suited politicians to do
so!”
“We are all in
interesting times and the battle is now on to change UK politics as it has
never been shaken up before!”

Palestinian state”
“This momentum will
continue to grow until that day finally comes and common-sense is seen by the
world”
“In May of this year
the Vatican signed its first bilateral treaty recognising Palestinian
statehood”
“They know that justice
must now be seen to be done and delivered”
“It also means that
the flag of the Vatican – the only other non-member state can now be raised – a
very good day for democracy!”
“It is necessary for
the UN and other international bodies to come together and become instruments
for peace”
“Enough wars have been
fought and it is now time that international bodies start to take the lead”
“They must bring about
solutions, where all can gain and not the corrupt few”

world together and so all must learn to live in decency and respect”
“No longer can the
mighty consistently crush the few, just because they can get away with it”
“The mood of the
people globally is changing”
“It is they alone who
will decide how history changes and for the many tyrants to finally go, for
they are all on their last legs already”

crisis gets worse in the Middle East”

Muslim population themselves to come up to the plate and deal with their fellow
Muslims”
“The war in Yemen has
resulted in 80% of the population needing humanitarian aid”
“The Libyan conflict
has yet to release their burden of displaced people. When they do it will add
millions more to the refugee exodus”
“The solutions to all
these crises is to end the persecution, but none of these conflicts show signs
of abating soon”
“This raises many
questions on the leadership in the Arab Muslim world”
“Senior officials in
Eastern Europe have already declared their opposition into taking in Muslim
refugees”

Western Europe avoids mentioning”
“A British Muslim MP
has evoked the memory of the Kindertransport where thousands of mainly Jewish
children were rescued before World War II”
“She obviously could
not find any example of anything like it in Islamic history”
“There has been no
mention of any Middle Eastern leaders on this topic”
“It has been the
ordinary people from these regions, who are voicing their shame and frustration
via social media”
“The Arabic hashtag
#arabconscience.” argues that the Arab world is ignoring Arab refugees”
“They are looking for
salvation in the West, because they cannot get it in the Middle East”
“Another campaign on
this subject asks the wealthy Gulf States to relax their rules on refugees”
“There have already
been over 12,000 tweets showing the populist demand to let refugees into Saudi

“Millions of
professionals & labourers are imported from across the world to serve their

argue that refugees might pose an extremist threat”
“This of course is
already possible with those that the West has already taken in”
“It is the failure of
these Muslim Governments to look after Muslim refugees that are now being exploited
by extremist’s propaganda”
“It shows that Muslim
rulers have abandoned their religious and moral responsibilities for the
worldwide Muslim community”
“They are only
interested in what the Islamic state can provide”
“A thirteen year old
Arab refugee said he didn’t want asylum or hand-outs. He simply asked that the
war in Syria was stopped”
“Maybe the Arab
Governments will finally demonstrate superior moral and political leadership
and deal with these matters?”
“It is by actively
showing that they are dealing with the needs of their fellow Muslim refugees
that…”
“…they would do more
for their cause to countermine the extremist’s power!”
“The Saudi Arabian
Government must start to justify their claim of Islamic authenticity”
“They must start by
delivering the Prophetic model “rahmat
ul-alameen,” which means a mercy for mankind!”
“It is now time that
the Muslim states come up to the plate and addressed their own people”
“They can no longer
expect the Western world to keep doing their job for them!”

Elizabeth, who ascended the throne aged 25 years old, has made history today by

been brought up with duty as the main priority of her life and what is expected
of her throughout her reign”

course”

developing world”

influence both in Great Britain and abroad. There are many in the world who

them down!”
“Her domestic life is
full of fun, but equally of confrontation”
“This she has had to
balance out in her own way, succeeding on most occasions”

many things that she has singlehandedly achieved will only be revealed once she
has passed on!”

enigma that one thinks they know her, when in fact they really do not!”
“She holds her own
views very much to her chest and will only voice them to a few chosen loyal
subjects”

extended family mean the world to her”

“Barbara
Knickerbocker-Beskind, is a 91 year old inventor with visual impairment, she
designs for her generation”
“This amazing woman is
an absolute Godsend to all those she comes in contact with”
“Beskind has a coveted
job as a designer at IDEO, a world renowned consulting company that is famous
for inventing the first Apple mouse”
“Barbara
Knickerbocker-Beskind is living her dreams of being an inventor”
“As a child during the
Depression when her father was out of work for seven years, she started making
things like toys for herself & others”
“Beskind, aged eight,
built a hobby horse from old tyres for her friend, who couldn’t afford one”
“At high school she
knew she wanted to be an inventor, but was told that women couldn’t go to
engineering school”
“Beskind went on to
earn her degree in Home Economics and then enlisted in the army at the end of
World War II”
“Later she trained in
occupational therapy and helped badly burned soldiers regain the use of their
scarred hands”
“She devised equipment
to deal with the patient’s needs and adapted devices to make them more
independent”
“This included how
they could hold a spoon, a fork and writing utensils”
“When she retired from
the army as Major, she opened the nation’s first free-standing occupational
therapy clinic in 1966”
“She is best known for
her innovative rehabilitation techniques”
“Beskind patented an
inflated square pillow about 3 feet high, which rolls around on the outside to
protect children when they fall”
“She calls it a space
ship. It is fun for them and improves their sense of balance”
“Now Beskind helps
IDEO design things for the elderly and aging population like hearing aids”
“These hearing aids
were intended to hold batteries, but older hands cannot handle these tiny
batteries”
“She has suggested
that the product be made to recharge at night when it was not being used
“The younger inventors
cannot know what it is like to be old and have no idea what the elderly need
for their security and wellbeing”
“Beskind is able to
advise and put the important matters into context, so that the elderly can
benefit in so many different ways”
“On a personal level,
because Beskind’s central vision is lost she has no vision of people’s faces”
“She would like a
camera mounted on the bridge of a pair of glasses that has face recognition”
“As a person
approaches they would say, “This is
Gloria.” The next time that person approaches, it would say in her ear, “This is Gloria.””
“That way she can meet
people and there would be no need for them to tell her who they are”
“The elderly need
practical things to keep their lives functioning for as long as possible”

independence and it keeps them safe and gives them joy”

untapped resource, whose input should be sought”

“Durrington Walls
super-henge is a huge ritual monument, which dates from the time of Stonehenge”
“It has been
discovered hidden under the bank of a nearby Stone Age enclosure”
“Durrington Walls is a
roundish super-henge, which has long puzzled archaeologists”
“This is because one
side is straight while the rest of the structure is curved”
“With ground-penetrating
radar, it has now been found that the straight end is actually aligned over a
row of ninety massive standing stones”
“These stones once
stood fifteen feet high and formed a C-shaped arena, which has not been seen
for thousands of years”
“The stone line, which
curves into the C-shape towards one end, is thought to be a ritual processional
route”
“This would be dated
to the time of the Sarsen Circle at Stonehenge”
“The stones are
believed to have been pushed over and a bank was built over them”
“Archaeologists are
trying to investigate when they were built, as there is nothing like it that
exists in the world”
“This site is
definitely one of the largest stone monuments in Europe and is completely
unique”
“The site was used as
a ritual site of some kind. As a monument it is very theatrical, as the design
is there to impress and empower”
“This circle
demonstrates a phase with monumental architecture, as one of the greatest
ceremonial sites in prehistoric Europe”
“The stones could be
contemporary with the famous Stonehenge Sarsen Circle or even earlier”
“Durrington Walls sits
in a depression not far from the River Avon near Amesbury, Wiltshire”
“It is one of the
largest known henge monuments measuring around 1,640 feet in diameter”
“It was built around
4,500 years ago in the Neolithic or new Stone Age”
“The site is
surrounded by a ditch of up to fifty-four feet wide and a bank of more than
three feet high”
“It was also built on
the same Summer Solstice alignment”
“Bradford archaeologists
have been working alongside an international team of experts as part of the
Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project”
“Having mapped out the
entire area with the latest technology, their latest results have produced this
evidence at Durrington Walls”
“This is the site of
the largest Neolithic settlements in Europe and will add a new dimension to the
Stonehenge story”
“We are all living in
exciting times and, thanks to ground-breaking technology, scientists are able
to reveal what the naked eye cannot!”

“Mariam Malak, a
top-ranked student, not only failed her exams, but received the lowest marks
possible”
“This is a case of
outright injustice and corruption by the Egyptian examination board, which will
have strong repercussions”
“Mariam has been one
of Egypt’s top high performing students for a very long time”
“Being confident she
would receive high marks, she couldn’t believe it when she saw she got zero and
as a result she fainted”
“Mariam scored zero
marks out of one hundred, not just in one exam but in all of them”
“This is an outright
impossibility and shows that this was a blatant character assassination by an
unscrupulous examination board”
“Suspicions have been
raised that this happened because she is a member of Egypt’s Coptic Christian
minority”
“This has been
dismissed and now it looks more likely that she is a victim of corruption”
“Once again Egypt has
stooped so low to a level of injustice on their own fellow Egyptians”
“Mariam has been
subjected to handwriting tests, which have shown her writing to be markedly
different from that on the exam paper”
“Since this injustice
has come to light, another top ‘A’ student has come forward to protest her own
zero grades”
“This further adds
credence that corruption and injustice are there for all to see”
“Mariam Malak will be
avenged, as the public outcry will continue until this matter is sorted out
publicly”
“The culprits will be
found and their crimes exposed”
“The world already
knows that Egyptian justice amounts to nothing”
“Their corruption
starts at the top and like a cancer filters down to their own subordinates”
“Mariam Malak will
achieve her desired career without these corrupt officials and in spite them!”
5th September 2015
“There will soon be a
need of a million refugees needing help today”
“This could escalate
into five million by the end of this year unless a shift of policy by the
international community towards Syria is given”
“Conditions need to be
set, whereby Syrians can return to their own country which is primarily what
they want to do”
“It is not about
Europe or the UK taking in more refugees, but about dealing with the political
solutions in Syria itself”
“Syrian people
overwhelmingly desire to remain in Syria, but with the political aspect as it
stands they are forced out of their own country”
“The inactivity by the
international community has caused the Syrian refugee problem”
“The international
community ignored the fact that Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons in August
2013”
“Assad killed up to
1,500 of his own people”
“At this time there
needs to be safe zones and a non-fly zone implemented, so that Syrians can
return to their own country”
“This would be morally
right & cost effective, rather than allowing a possible five million refugees
to enter into Europe & the Middle East”
“The international
military coalition needs to step up the fight against IS and to finally remove
Bashar al-Assad from Syria”
“They need to create a
living environment for the Syrian people once again”
“The alarming state of
affairs is that IS will stop at nothing with their destruction”
“They are in the
process of using mustard gas as their latest weapon of choice”
“David Cameron had
stated that IS is the greatest threat, yet little has been done in dealing with
them”
“Attacks on Iraq and
Syria in the last ten days have shown that IS have used…”
“…significant
quantities of this deadly Class 1 chemical agent, mustard gas”
“Latest attacks on
Peshmerga forces have confirmed mustard gas being used on strategic towns
between Aleppo and the Turkish border”
“IS are now escalating
their reign of terror campaign and their psychological warfare towards those
who oppose them”
“The mustard agent is
a prescribed chemical under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) & is
known as a blister agent which is highly toxic”
“These latest two
episodes are the most worrying, especially in Syria”
“There, the doctors
and civilians have no equipment & little knowledge on how to deal with the
effects of a mustard gas attack”
“It was the doctors
& first responders, who went into the highly contaminated areas to treat
the casualties & who became victims themselves”
“Mustard gas can
remain toxic for weeks in some places”
“Bashar al-Assad had a
stockpile of this substance which went missing in 2013 when the UN chemical
inspectors came in”
“It has now been
suggested that mustard gas and the deadly nerve agent VX fell into IS hands
last December”
“The further concern
is that these deadly chemical weapons should be moved out of Iraq and the
Syrian territories”
“It could well have
far reaching consequences for the rest of the world”
“The red line by IS
has already been crossed”
“It is the
international community that must look to remove the main causes of the unrest
in Syria”
“Otherwise there will
be a five million exodus by the end of this year!”
4th September 2015
“People from every
aspect of society are gathering together and demanding justice for their
country of Guatemala”
“The outrageous theft
of millions of dollars of public money by Guatemalan politicians has caused
poor patients to die in public hospitals”

light and triggered an unprecedented political awakening in this country”
“The people have come
together united for the first time demanding sweeping reforms”
“Jaw-dropping
corruption scandals have come to light”
“The country’s
political elite are all involved”
“There has been a call
over the past few months for the President Otto Perez Molina to resign, which
has now happened”
“Molina is stripped of
his immunity and now joins his Vice President Roxana Baldetti in jail”
“This has exposed the
widespread infiltration of organised crime in party politics and election
campaigns”
“The once impossible
has now become possible, so ending decades of rampant corruption in the
political system”
“Young activists with
no real experience of politics have started a popular movement, which has seen
Guatemalans take to the streets”
“This has been for
peaceful protests since the corruption scandal came to light on 16th
April”
“The young people were
inspired by social media to inform each other of the facts and to share
political information.”
“They were so incensed
by the brazen corruption that they promoted a get-together hashtag #renunciaya”
“They hoped they would
get likeminded people to demand the resignation of the corrupt officials”
“It turned out that
30,000 people gathered in the main square”
“Tens of thousands
from every class, age and political persuasion have gathered each Saturday
calling for political heads to roll”
“There has been a
UN-sanctioned independent investigative body that has helped prosecute
corruption and organised crime since 2007”
“The people
pressurised parliamentarians to remove Molina’s immunity”
“Damning wiretap
evidence has proved that Molina led the custom’s ring that pocketed millions of
dollars in kickbacks”
“This is a historic
moment when the Government finally realised that the people won’t tolerate
corruption anymore”
“Guatemalans are
emerging to break the old cycle of corruption and immunity”
“They see children
dying because mothers cannot afford food and where there is not enough money
for the hospitals”
“Their mood is
aggressive and forthright, the people will see justice done”
“As with all corruption
throughout the world, it is the death knell for the entire community who always
suffer”
“This is slowly being
expunged and justice is slowly coming to light!”

“In the olden days,
early Christians had to rely on God for their every need”
“In the present day,
especially in the West, we all have our creature comforts and drive-through
churches”
“Congregations have
become complacent and sluggish”
“Congregations are so
comfortable and they have the best of everything”
“Anything a person
requires they can put on credit when their whims demand it”
“Therefore they are no
longer dependent on God for their needs”
“The congregation have
become distracted away from God and so the churches are now showing signs of
spiritual apathy”
“This makes faith in
God a less pressing need”
“The people have air
conditioning, remote controls and fast food”
“Their churches have
great sound systems, educated preachers plus pews, fine-tuned choirs, pianos
and organs”
“There are committees,
plans and money”
“There are so many
churches in America that it can be guaranteed that they can find one to suit
anyone”
“The messages given
out are all pleasant and nobody is aching to do any of God’s will”
“The churches in
America and the West have lost their way. Spirituality is no longer a part of
the ceremony”
“There are no signs of
consideration for others less fortunate than themselves”
“They only see the
polished televangelists with their perfectly groomed hair”
“Their smiles pulling
the wool over thousands of gullible people whom they ask for money”
“How does the world
see the Church or even its teachings of Jesus Christ?”
“The teachings of
Jesus Christ are no longer taught as he would have them taught”
“People today are led
by materialism and that everything that they want can be provided for them”
“God and Jesus Christ
have no place in their lives and they have no time for them”
“As with all things
that are left there comes a time in all our lives when the Church or society no
longer has the answers”
“They have already
lost their way”
“Those that are in
need must therefore search outside their safe haven and go along a path that is
foreign to them”
“Then and only then
will they be confronted with the true answers that they need and all is given
to them with unconditional love”
“Jesus is out there in
the midst of life”
“He only becomes
visible for the first time & active in their lives as never before without
the confines & restrictions of orthodox religions”
“Then and only then is
there a massive spiritual change in one’s life”
“Life takes on for the
first time a different meaning that enriches one as never before”
“After that we start
to understand the meaning of life”
“We can see why we are
actually on this earth in the first place and why Jesus is a vital part of that
life!”

“A new method of
applying insecticide to netting has proved 100% effective against some strains
of mosquitos”
“An electrostatic
coating allows the netting to carry much higher doses of insecticide”
“Experiments have
proven that the coating has killed off many more mosquitoes than usual”
“The new electrostatic
coating could help control diseases such as Malaria”
“Insecticide
resistance in mosquitoes has become a significant problem in many parts of the
world, where Malaria is endemic”
“It’s been discovered
that water based spray insecticides & bed nets that contain low levels of
insecticide, don’t always kill the mosquitos”
“This allows them to
develop resistance”
“It is the long-lasting
electrostatic charge that allows high levels of insecticide to stick fast to
the netting”
“This gives the
mosquitoes a lethal overdose when they come into contact with the surface, even
for a few seconds”
“Conventional netting
kills fewer than 10% of mosquitoes and so the new idea will now see that fewer
people suffer from mosquito bites”
“This technique has
been tested on different strains of mosquitoes”
“This was done in
South Africa, Tanzania and in a laboratory at the Liverpool School of Tropical
Medicine”
“The research has
found that with the electrostatic coating more mosquitoes have been killed than
other form of netting”
“It is also 100%
effective on certain insecticide resistance mosquitoes”
“The electrostatic
coating can be used on screens, windows and doors around the home”
“It also works in the
home on curtains, on walls, in mosquito traps and in wall ventilation tubes”
“This is a new way of
trying to target and contaminate mosquitoes that blight the lives of thousands
around the world”
“The world is grateful
for the dedicated souls, who work diligently to bring about solutions for those
suffering from mosquitoes bites”
“Mosquitos have
already plagued millions of lives”
1st September 2015
“In 2010 a scientific
survey showed that eight million tonnes of plastic rubbish ended up in the
oceans from coastal countries”
“This is far more than
has been measured floating on the surface in the ocean’s “garbage patches”
“This is bad enough,
but this news is set to get worse, as the tonnage of rubbish is set to increase
tenfold over the next decade”
“The world needs to
find ways to improve how rubbish is collected and managed”
“The top ten sources
of the ocean’s plastic waste are as follows”
“China, Indonesia,
Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Egypt and
Nigeria”
“The US is ranked 20th
on the list”
“Eight million tons of
plastic rubbish is like lining up five grocery bags of rubbish on every foot of
coastline around the globe”
“By 2025, those five
grocery bags will then become ten bags if rubbish management practices remain
the same”
“Ocean plastic has
been found everywhere, in the deep sea and buried in the Arctic ice”
“It has had dire
consequences to some 700 species of marine wildlife”
“Published studies
show that the amount of plastic in seabird’s stomachs has been climbing over
the past half-century”
“In 1960 plastic was
found in the stomachs of less than 5% of seabirds, but by 2010 it has now risen
to 80%”
“It has been predicted
by 2050, 99% of the world’s seabird species will be eating plastic unless we
all take action to clean up our oceans”
“The area worst hit is
the Southern Ocean off Australia”
“Here is the highest
density of plastic and there is the largest number of different seabird species
here”
“Seabirds are
excellent indicators of the ecosystem’s health”
“The high amount of
plastic in seabirds is not surprising.
There have been nearly 200 pieces of plastic found in a single seabird”
“The items found were
plastic bags, bottle caps, bits of balloons, cigarette lighters, even
toothbrushes and plastic toys”
“The plastic found in
birds made up 8% of their body weight, which is considerable”
“The more plastic a
seabird encounters, the more it tends to eat”
“This shows that the
concentration of ocean plastic in a region can be removed allowing for less to
be eaten. It can never be digested”
“By improving waste
management around the world, it will have a direct benefit to wildlife”
“Globally we must all
do our bit regarding waste management”
“There needs to be a
drastic reduction in packaging”
“Single-use plastic
items must be banned and deposits used for recyclable items like drink
containers”
“It has been by
improving management in our industrial practices in Europe, where it has been
most noticed”
“There has been a
reduction in the number of plastic items found in seabirds in the North Sea
within a few decades”
“This proves that the
solutions are effective in a relatively short time”
“A simple change of
behaviour can reduce the global impact on seabirds and other marine species as
well!”
“We owe it to our
natural habitat and to the oceans, which serve us all”
“We need to do our
utmost to clean up our mess and stop it creating greater environmental damage”
