May 22 2012 - Day for Biological Diversity


On May 22, 1992, the wording of the Convention on Biological Diversity was taken on by the United Nations at a meeting in Nairobi, Kenya. Since 2001, the International Day for Biological Diversity is eminent every year on the birthday of this date

Hold a festivity of the work being completed by neighbourhood farmers to preserve biodiversity. Prepare for an episode for local farmers to approach and talk to the society about their biodiversity preservation labours from preserving heirloom crops to keeping stands of native bush and trees to assist inhabitant animals and plants flourish amidst the agriculture. Offer awards to the farmers from neighbourhood members to express thank to them for their time and efforts in preserve biodiversity.

    Hold a quiz night to increase money for neighbourhood biodiversity re-establishment schemes. Decide a region of the neighbourhood surroundings that calls for a reinstatement, for example a stand of local trees, a river region, a lake, an area that is a habitat to a atypical species and aim at it for reinstatement and preservation. Promote the quiz night extensively in the neighbourhood and let individuals be acquainted with the motive at the back of it. Sell tickets of the occasion to raise funds and request for contributions of environmentally thoughtful prizes. Create biodiversity connected questions for the quiz night, for example questions about neighbourhood wildlife, trees, plants, ecosystems etc. Dish up food sourced in the neighbourhood for food and drink or request people to bring a plate of home cooked foodstuff.

    Hold a tree planting event. Ask the local government or legislative senate to be present at and to help source local trees for the occasion.

Waffle day 2012


International Waffle Day is a traditional festival that is celebrated in Sweden on March 25th.  The speciality of this day is that it marks the beginning of spring and waffles are typically eaten on this occasion.
International Waffle Day History
The origin of the word can be traced back to Vårfrudagen which means “Our Lady's Day”. The celebration will be nine months prior to Christmas. The Christian holiday of Annunciation and the Waffle Day is scheduled on the same day, though it doesn’t have much religious connections to Our Lady's Day.
A similar celebration is also there in the USA, celebrated on 24th August aimed at honouring the anniversary of the patenting of the first US waffle iron which was invented by Cornelius Swarthout of Troy.
International Waffle Day Celebrations
Waffle day celebration gives an opportunity to explore a wide variety of waffles such as American waffles topped with fried chicken, waffles drenched in sugary maple syrup, Brussels or Liège Belgian waffle coated with confectioner’s sugar or chocolate or cream, sweet Hong Kong waffle laced with the flavours of peanut butter or honey melon etc. Having a wide variety of waffles is the major attraction of this international Waffle Day celebration.

what will you do on Fathers Day? ..2012


Sometimes we are lucky enough to be with people we love and can let them know we love them even if we cannot say the words. Sometimes, we cannot either be with them, or even feel any love for them. Either way writing can help. Whatever your situation, you might want to think about your experience of fathering today. Maybe think about any good there. Even if you cannot enjoy the day or good memories, try to be gentle with yourself (and pray always).
