<p>&ldquo;Life is simple. What we give out, we get back.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The past has no power over us. Even problems have no power over us. Our power lies in the thoughts that we choose to think today. Remember, there are endless opportunities for good before us.</p>
<p>We can think happy thoughts. We can think positive thoughts. We can say, &ldquo;Yes, I can do it!&rdquo;&nbsp; We can think thoughts that make us feel joyous. We can learn to think only about all the good in the world. We can lift our thoughts up. We can greet the day with a smile. We can let the world know that we&rsquo;re happy to be alive. We can express gratitude at every turn. We can love our bodies. We can be our best friend. By our actions, we&rsquo;ll be an example for our children. Just by watching us, they&rsquo;ll learn how to create a happy and fulfilling life.</p>
<p>Our reward is that we get to watch day by day as our lives turn into the most joyous, loving, healthy, prosperous, fabulous experiences. And this will last for all the rest of our days on Earth. So train yourself to think thoughts that make you feel good. That way, you&rsquo;ll always be creating your life&nbsp;<em>out of</em>&nbsp;joy and&nbsp;<em>in</em>&nbsp;joy. Joy always brings more to be joyous about.</p>
<p>Affirm:&nbsp;<em>I am the only thinker in my mind; and I choose to think joyous, happy, loving, positive thoughts 24/7. I love Life and Life loves me.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hello everyone</p>
<p>natural cycle, what do i mean? well lets get right into it with the seasons</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Seasons</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>well the season are just one of our natural cycle, you may already know this but ill tell you the greater cause to why I&#8217;m sharing with you the natural cycles. the season are summer, winter, autumn and spring which come every year, am i wrong? keep reading. so these all happen at the same time every year and they will keep happening through out mine and your life time</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Years</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>years are also a natural cycle, well not really natural more universal, so a universal cycle where the world rotates around the sun, when it fully goes around we call this a year and this keeps happening in a cycle</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>(big) Solar flares</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>now I&#8217;m not just talking about the normal solar flare here and there I&#8217;m talking about the big one that goes through a 11 year cycle, well something close to that, this is also another example of a universal cycle</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Heat spikes</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>these heats spike (global warming) happen every so and so years, in the 10,000 range maybe more, but these spike occur&nbsp;right before a ice age, but we will get into more detail later, so these heat spike or global warming or whatever we call it is not the caused by humans but by natural cycle, if anything caused global warming the closest thing we could say would be our road which are black, and black attract heat</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ice age</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>an ice age happens every 10,000 years, and usually comes right after a heats spike, 4 ice ages have been recorded as i know and all ice ages have been in between a certain length time, this length time happens to come into action sometime in the next 100 years? BUT is there a chance it could be happening this year? who knows</p>
<p><strong>what has been discussed&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>i have looked through lots and lots of articles, and conversations about this ice age and chances are very slim, but the are still high chance of a mini ice age that will make miner effect, in the case of a normal ice age we could run into poverty, and people will most likely die</p>

<p>Sunshine&#8217;s by name;</p>
<p>Sunshine by nature;</p>
<p>How true is this??</p>
<p>Well not always but I will not be sharing any of my darkest secrets on here-ha ha ha -</p>
<p>It was a week yesterday that I decided to find out more about about The Cherokees.</p>
<p>Ever since I have become totally engorossed in their lives,beliefs ,faith and lifestyles.So for today I am going to be Sunshine Ray.</p>
<p>Lone Wolf</p>
<p>ever since</p>
<p>I have</p>
<p>been with child</p>
<p>this canine wonder</p>
<p>has never</p>
<p>ever</p>
<p>left my side .</p>
<p>He loves</p>
<p>my beloved man</p>
<p>Silver Creek</p>
<p>with</p>
<p>every breath</p>
<p>of his</p>
<p>canine being</p>
<p>and has become</p>
<p>my protector</p>
<p>for</p>
<p>every moment</p>
<p>when my beloved man is</p>
<p>not around.</p>
<p>I pat the green ground</p>
<p>by my side</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Lone Wolf</p>
<p>without</p>
<p>hesitation</p>
<p>walks</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>almost</p>
<p>glides</p>
<p>to my side</p>
<p>in a floating motion.</p>
<p>His wise head</p>
<p>resting</p>
<p>on my knees</p>
<p>and those</p>
<p>deep seeing</p>
<p>eyes</p>
<p>almost lock</p>
<p>with mine.</p>
<p>Their untold message</p>
<p>so clear:-</p>
<p>&#8216;I am your protector&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;I am your saviour&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Yours  and Silver Creek&#8217;s babe</p>
<p>I will protect forevermore.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Never worry as l am by your side&#8217;</p>
<p>We sat together as one</p>
<p>watching</p>
<p>absorbing</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>allowing</p>
<p>our minds</p>
<p>to be inspired</p>
<p>by</p>
<p>each beauty</p>
<p>enfolding</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>carressing</p>
<p>each view</p>
<p>locked in our</p>
<p>hrearts</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>spirits</p>
<p>forevermore.</p>
<p>I tenderly rub my</p>
<p>swollen form</p>
<p>in which lay our</p>
<p>precious new life; a life</p>
<p>brought forth</p>
<p>by</p>
<p>the most loving connection</p>
<p>there could be.</p>
<p>Oh Silver Creek</p>
<p>we are so as one. Our hearts</p>
<p>spirits</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>souls united</p>
<p>with Earth Mother&#8217;s</p>
<p>loving grace</p>
<p>and her</p>
<p>blessings.</p>
<p>Oh Gods</p>
<p>of the</p>
<p>mountains</p>
<p>dales</p>
<p>valleys</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>rivers</p>
<p>unite in harmony</p>
<p>each breath</p>
<p>we take</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>each word</p>
<p>we speak.</p>

<p>I sit high</p>
<p>on top of the mountain;</p>
<p>I sit leaning back to allow</p>
<p>the spring breeze</p>
<p>to blow through</p>
<p>my long dark</p>
<p>glossy locks.</p>
<p>How I allow</p>
<p>inspiring values</p>
<p>to enter my being and into the depth of my spirit.</p>
<p>Far down below</p>
<p>almost like small</p>
<p>insects</p>
<p>I see a hive of daily activity.</p>
<p>Our stallion</p>
<p>&#8216;Morning Mist&#8217;</p>
<p>the leader</p>
<p>of our horses</p>
<p>is kicking</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>frollicking</p>
<p>in frenzied excitement</p>
<p>to his</p>
<p>heart&#8217;s content.</p>
<p>Next I can</p>
<p>quite clearly</p>
<p>make out</p>
<p>Crimson Red</p>
<p>with her</p>
<p>little group of children</p>
<p>her pupils</p>
<p>so eager to</p>
<p>learn</p>
<p>Distance hinders</p>
<p>but my</p>
<p>mind&#8217;s keen eye</p>
<p>tells me so much.</p>
<p>She tells me</p>
<p>all about</p>
<p>of little faces</p>
<p>eager</p>
<p>hungry to learn</p>
<p>in awe</p>
<p>wondering</p>
<p>and loving</p>
<p>each step</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>each day</p>
<p>of</p>
<p>Crimson Red&#8217;s</p>
<p>teachings.</p>
<p>They sit in full circle</p>
<p>young spirits entwined</p>
<p>so new</p>
<p>so fresh.</p>
<p>They absorb</p>
<p>each lesson</p>
<p>like a flower</p>
<p>to sunshine.</p>
<p>They wave their hands</p>
<p>in tune to her lead</p>
<p>like flower fairies ;</p>
<p>free flowing</p>
<p>brimming over</p>
<p>with</p>
<p>love and joy.</p>
<p>Beside me there is a rustling</p>
<p>from the</p>
<p>midst of the</p>
<p>yellow laden gorse.</p>
<p>In my mind</p>
<p>I knew</p>
<p>before</p>
<p>this rustle</p>
<p>became vision</p>
<p>that it was</p>
<p>Lone Wolf.</p>
<p>I</p>

<p>I have already felt</p>
<p>the very first stirring</p>
<p>of life</p>
<p>from my womb.</p>
<p>Likened to the</p>
<p>the</p>
<p>soft flutterings</p>
<p>of a</p>
<p>butterfly;</p>
<p>of being at one</p>
<p>with Earth Mother.</p>
<p>I look far</p>
<p>down below me</p>
<p>with an inner pride</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>love</p>
<p>that was new</p>
<p>and so wholesome.</p>
<p>I coud</p>
<p>see the</p>
<p>beginning of a brook</p>
<p>which ran into</p>
<p>the silver thread</p>
<p>of</p>
<p>the river.</p>
<p>At the end</p>
<p>of the journey</p>
<p>many rivers</p>
<p>came together</p>
<p>and ran as many estuaries into the sea.</p>
<p>These</p>
<p>estuaries</p>
<p>I liken to our lives .</p>
<p>Which one</p>
<p>we take</p>
<p>is our desicion.</p>

<p><em><strong>.</strong></em></p>
<p>A splutter and a gurgle</p>
<p>From deep inside the earth</p>
<p>Is a flowing indication</p>
<p>Of a shimmering new birth.</p>
<p>Leisurely she&#8217;ll flow along</p>
<p>Over the earth and its charms</p>
<p>Bringing peace, love and solitude</p>
<p>Like a new babe in mother&#8217;s arms.</p>
<p>Over obstacles she&#8217;ll meander</p>
<p>Until she conquers her fight,</p>
<p>Compare we this to childhood</p>
<p>As we learn wrong from right.</p>
<p>Wearily she&#8217;ll flow along</p>
<p>Into estuaries she&#8217;ll divide,</p>
<p>These are the rivers of life</p>
<p>Which one? Is ours to decide.</p>

<p>I have a journey to travel beofre the birth of our little one.</p>
<p>To clear the slightly overgrown pathways to my heart and soul.</p>
<p>A pure and sure heart our baby will be nourished from;his very first look into my eyes will show me as a strong person with inner pathways cleared.</p>
<p>Silver Cross and my spirit entwined; fitting so well ;each contour;</p>
<p>fitting with ease.</p>
<p>My heart misses a beat as I see my man ;far down below me gathering together his horses;horses that had been injured or were ill;but had now recovered due to his gentle care;the care of a loving and tender hreart.</p>
<p>Lone Wolf also looked down and with bright eyes and wagging tail.</p>
<p>He understood;as he had that deep set gift given to him by our Earth Mother,of spiritual understanding.</p>
<p>A knowing which ran almost as if on an invisible silver thread from his soul to yours Earth Mother; a gift which will last while he is on this earth.</p>
<p>I know that I have this journey to travel but I am not alarmed or worried,I have a deep set trust and understanding inyou my  Earth Mother . I accept my journey and I know that I will emerge a better person.</p>
<p>A cleansing of my deepest spirit; in order to be a true mother in all ways.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/17/6041673f260_1.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="195" />My Journey.</p>
<p>Oh Earth Mother</p>
<p>I trust you so;</p>
<p>Wherever I am</p>
<p>Wherever I go.</p>
<p>I see you in each sunrise</p>
<p>I see you in each life;</p>
<p>In Lone Wolf&#8217;s cries</p>
<p>Your prescence is rife.</p>
<p>I will follow you</p>
<p>As I travel along;</p>
<p>I trust you too</p>
<p>So sweet your song.</p>
<p>I will be cleansed</p>
<p>I will be wholesome.</p>
<p>I will be blessed.</p>
<p>I accept the outcome.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Money has become so important in everyone's life, that we forget what is more important other than money.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world has turned into a place, where the amount of cash flow is so important.&nbsp;</p>
<p>What happened to trading and exchanging? What happened to a exchanging a barrel of salt for a bag of rice? What happened to exchanging five chickens for a cow? What happened to trading fish for some blankets?</p>
<p>What have we created the world to become? Where a monthly salary of a certain amount is so essential for survival.</p>
<p>Money has become so important in our lives, we practically revovles around it. People are competing for the highest paid salary, the best position in a corporate company and the most luxurious car on the street.</p>
<p>Life was never meant to be about the status of our finance, it was never supposed to be about what we are in the society, who knows us, and how much we have in our bank accounts. Life is meant to be about happiness, freedom, family, friends and the choice to roll on the grass.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As humans evolved over time, everything has become about money, money and more money. And what would that bring us? If we were to die tomorrow, we would not be able to bring along the greens to our death beds and buy another chance at life, nor would we be able to bribe the devil to sit out today&#8217;s schedule of burning in fire. We won&#8217;t be able to pay off angels or God to enter the gates of Heaven. And the amount of money we have now, we can only spend here, on Earth.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Money should not be the most important thing in life. Humans see the need in having money, because everything is bought with it, no matter where we are in the world. There are those who are filthy rich, and also those living in starvation and poverty (how many of us are caring for them?). The amount of money, no matter how much, cannot save the world from its deteriorating state. Even Bill Gates would not be able to pay off Earth for more fuel or replenish the thinning ozone layer.</p>
<p>It seems that even though Earth is being destroyed by us, through the amount of money we would pay for more electricity and fuel. But majority of the world do not see what they are doing to the planet they live on and would soon die if we pay no attention to what is happening to it, and continue to see the importance of cash. Because however much we have now, would not matter even in the next fifty years if there isn&#8217;t a world to live in!&nbsp;</p>
<p>People are not doing enough to prevent the very fast destruction of the world. Accountants and business men are still too self involved in earning big bucks, aiming to buy their next Aston Martin or Hummer, which by the way gives out toxic fumes which are still contributing to damaging the world. Shortening the years that the world has left before we would all die through floods, droughts and drastic changes in the weather from Global Warming.&nbsp;</p>
<p>See, everyone has become so self involved in their own personal life, no longer does anyone want to co-operate in saving something much larger and more important than themselves. Everyone has their personal issues and troubles. Every family goes through dilemas, and everyone has to face the mundane truth of life daily. No one takes the time to open their eyes to something other than themselves.</p>
<p>Hence, to those who find &#8216;greens&#8217; more important than anything else in the world, &#8220;thank you, for being so selfish.&#8221;</p>
<p>But thank you to those who play their part in attempt to save what is left of the world, even small changes in their lifestyles, like seperating the trash to recycle, stop littering, and have stopped purchasing fuel drinking vehicles, or attempt to take the public transport rather than driving their own vehicles. It is those who put in the effort in helping that are doing all they can to &#8216;help&#8217; those who are too selfish to lift a finger.</p>
<p>And there are those who sacrifice earning big bucks, which is what 90% of the human population consider most &#8216;important&#8217;. We watch films about the end of the world, and effects it is taking. We watch in awe and horror. We see the &#8216;fiction&#8217; death on screen, and cry as the movie captures our emotions. But when the credits begin to roll, we forget that what we have watch could soon happen in reality.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If we take the time to realize the choices we have chosen in our lives, and the effect of what it is actually doing to the world. The billions of life on Earth put togehter is the cause of the dying planet.&nbsp;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading economists have found out how to best and most cost-effectively invest to solve many of the world's problems.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>Leading economists are ranked how to best and most cost-effectively invest to solve many of the world&#8217;s seemingly insurmountable problems, a Danish think-tank said Monday, calling for a shift in global priorities.&#8221;It may not sound sexy, but solving the problems of diarrhoea, worms and malnutrition will do good for more of the world&#8217;s poor than other more grandiose interventions,&#8221; Bjoern Lomborg, who heads the Copenhagen Consensus Centre, said in a statement.</p>
<p>He pointed out that focussing on creating nature reserves and making large swathes of forest off-limit to development was &#8220;a nice idea, but the problem is that it often doesn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;Instead, the Copenhagen Consensus economists proposed investing heavily in agricultural research and development to make food production more efficient, which they said would reduce world hunger and also protect biodiversity &#8220;by reducing the need for forest land to be converted into agricultural land.&#8221;Lomborg, who adamantly rejects the climate change-denier label sometimes thrown at him, also criticised the heavy focus on curbing carbon dioxide emissions in the battle against global warming.</p>
<p>The Copenhagen Consensus economists were asked how the world should best spend $75 billion (58 billion euros) over a four-year period, which Lomborg says is only 15 percent more than the global aid spending today.Malnutrition topped the list of 10 proposals, with the expert panel suggesting annual spending of $3.0 billion to solve the problem that affects more than 100 million children worldwide, stressing that &#8220;each dollar spent reducing chronic under-nutrition has more than a $30-pay-off&#8221;.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NASA trains astronauts for mission of landing on an asteroid</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/13/a2_1.jpeg" alt="" width="261" height="225" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/13/as3_1.jpeg" alt="" width="273" height="218" /></p>
<p>Mission which American astronauts are preparing for as it is taken from the U.S. film &#8220;Armageddon.&#8221; A team of astronauts will land on an asteroid to explore its surface, find exploitable minerals and learn how to destroy it in the future if they represented a threat to the planet Earth.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/13/as_3.jpeg" alt="" width="247" height="225" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />NASA will send astronauts further than ever on the asteroid which is almost five million kilometers away from our planet. The asteroid travels around the sun at a speed of about 80,000 kilometers per hour and it have small mass and has no gravity, so a safe landing on such a piece of rock will be a significant challenge for the pilots. Duration of the mission is estimated at about one year, and astronauts would be on an asteroid up to 30 days.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/13/as3_1.jpeg" alt="" width="259" height="228" /></p>
<p>The training program begins next month, and all potential members of the crew will have to learn to operate the vehicle, walk on the surface of the asteroid and collect samples from its surface. Everything will take place in an underwater base near Florida, where six astronauts will spend 12 days under the surface of the Atlantic Ocean where it will be a simulated low gravity, similar one on the asteroid.</p>
<p>The primary objective of the mission will be the type of research to learn more of the origins of the universe and collect various minerals, but the experience gained in the asteroid will be invaluable if found similar boulder in the universe that threatens to collide with our planet. NASA currently has more than 400 objects in the universe that are a potential threat, but most of them belong to the group of low risk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The longest voyage made by any European explorer during the age of exploration lasted for about 99 days, and was made by Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan discovered the Strait of Magellan which links the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. His fleet crossed the strait, and headed across the Pacific Ocean. Magellan had expected that he would reach the Spice Islands very soon. Instead, the voyage became a nightmare that lasted around 99 days. They did pass one or two islands, but could not land because of the danger of being grounded on a reef. For three months, the fleet sailed on, with conditions on boards becoming more and more terrible. The ship&rsquo;s biscuits had become rotten and the drinking water stank. Food was so scarce that rats were being caught and sold in exchange for gold coins, while many sailors had to chew old leather mats just to stay alive! Many sailors died of starvation and diseases. Finally, they found a lush green island on which they could Land. The sailor&rsquo;s joy knew no bounds as they found fresh water, coconuts, bananas, sugar cane and an off-shore reef teeming with fat fish! They had reached the island of Guam! Magellan had completed the longest voyage without a stop that any European had ever made&hellip; a distance of over 15,000 kilometres.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Magellan was disappointed that he had not reached the Spice Islands. Though he had discovered a new route across the Pacific, it was too long to be practical. After a halt, Magellan continued his voyage westwards and finally reached the island of Cebu. He had proved that it was possible to reach the east by sailing westwards, and he had the honour of becoming the first explorer to sail around the earth.</p>

<p><i>Liverpool John Moores University (Photo credit: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ljmu1.png" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>)</i></p>
<p>The researchers calculated that the possible release of <i>methane gas</i> from the bowels of the <i>dinosaurs </i>in the atmosphere, helped warm the planet Earth during the Mesozoic (geologic time from 250 million to 65 million years).</p>
<p>&#8220;A simple mathematical model showed that the microbes that live in sauropod dinosaurs produce enough methane to affect the climate of the Mesozoic,&#8221; the researcher Dave Wilkinson of Liverpool John Moores University.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our calculations show that this dinosaur could produce more methane gas from all sources of modern, even a combination of natural gas resources and man-made,&#8221; Wilkinson said as quoted by Reuters news agency website.</p>
<p><i>Sauropod dinosaurs</i> explore the vast regions of the earth about 150 million years. And as the fat cow, digestive microbes that produce methane vegetation assisted, as the scientists report in the journal Current Biology.</p>
<p>Methane is one of greenhouse gases with a global warming potential.</p>
<p>Wilkinson and his partner, Graeme Ruxton, University of St. Andrews, in collaboration with experts methane Euan</p>
<p>Nisbet, of London University to do calculations to predict the degree of influence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere warms the sauropods.</p>
<p>According to calculations of scientists, including dozens of medium-sized sauropod weighing about 44,000 pounds (19.95 tons) for each square kilometer, then global emissions of methane sauropod about 250 million tons per year.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost complete disappearance of the Aral Sea in Central Asia is &#34;one of the biggest and most shocking disasters that ever occurred on Earth&#34;, said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2012/05/07/aral_1.jpg" alt="The 4th lake in the world has disappeared almost completely" /></p>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Once the 4th largest lake on Earth, has evaporated in the Aral Sea by more than 90% after the Soviet Union developed programs to divert rivers and streams that fed the sea to the arid areas where grown cotton.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;disappearance destroyed the Aral Sea, but a strong fishing industry, leaving behind an apocalyptic picture of fishing vessels in the middle of a desert rust.&nbsp;In addition, evaporation from the sea has left huge amounts of sand mixed with salt which are carried by wind to Japan or Scandinavia.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp; UN Secretary General visited the area recently and said he was shocked by what he saw.&nbsp;He called on all regional leaders to meet and establish emergency measures to be taken to prevent an ecological disaster and to save what can save.&nbsp;In case the water crisis has already hit the planet, and many countries are experiencing an unprecedented drought, Ban Ki-moon calls for solidarity and requires authorities authorized to find immediate solutions.&nbsp;Currently, talks on reviving the Aral Sea is in trouble because the interests of countries that were out at sea, countries whose governments have not agreed on how they use water and rights relating to each country on the Aral Sea.&nbsp;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A utopian world, undone by a simple mishap.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><p>It was a utopia.</p>
<p>Crisp winds rippled across vast prairies of emerald green grass, a deer barely escaping a dangerous pack of determined wolves. Herds of giant bison roamed the plains freely, migrating from one area to the next. An antelope bent over for a drink by the river, until the mighty jaws of a crocodile closed with a crunch around the prey&rsquo;s exposed neck. A small family of cheetahs relaxed in a fig tree, avoiding the brutal sun above. Dolphins, whales, and seals coasted through waters as blue as sapphires, as waves crashed into the towering walls of grey stone. Lobsters, crabs, and crustaceans of all kinds scampered away and buried themselves in the sand while the great white shark stalked along the warm, murky ocean floor. In the deepest trenches, a particular immortal jellyfish reached a mature age, and then reverted back to its polyp form, thus restarting its lifecycle.</p>
<p>Above sea level, snowcapped mountains rose above the world, dwarfing everything in sight. From miles above, a falcon scanned the ground, and effortlessly curled into a spiraling descent, darting in and out of the clouds, with black eyes locked on an innocent baby rabbit in the fields below. Monstrous aspen, oak, and elm trees reached across the skies, their branches home to birds and critters from all walks of life. Massive grizzly bears marched from river to river, as salmon unknowingly fought their way up waterfalls, simply to be caught and eaten as they emerged from the stream. Scorpions and iguanas darted from each spot of shade as they made their way through the barren wasteland of brown dunes and orange canyons. Snakes the size of cars and spiders the size of birds crept through the dense rainforests, ignoring the cacophony of the overly horny family of baboons swinging through the vines and branches above. Polar bears and penguins slid down crystal glaciers into the frigid arctic waters and clambered onto drifting blocks of ice. The world was in pure harmony. The circle of life was hard at work to maintain this beautiful, living, breathing planet. No discord. No disruptions, disturbances, or disasters. No disease, no death, no depression, or despicably downward spiraling economy. Every living creature, whether it was predator or prey was living together, in unison.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A booming sound thundered across every sea, mountain, field, and desert. It burrowed its ways to the depths of the ocean and the floor of the jungle. Into the deepest caves and across the most expansive forests. Along rivers, over hills, under trees, everywhere. This sound, for an instant, made the hearts of every living soul stop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;	&ldquo;SHIT!&rdquo; god bellowed, his robed arm stretching out from the clouds.</p>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A shiny glass jar whooshed past a bald eagle &ndash; the <i>ONLY</i> bald eagle. The elegant raptor tucked into a nose dive, plummeting after the jar, but as soon as he began to catch up, the jar would speed up and fall further out of reach. Every animal, the bears, birds, fishes, cows, horses, moose, deer, monkeys, lions, and kangaroos stopped and watched as the only bald eagle in existence desperately chased this jar. Hawks, falcons, owls, crows, hummingbirds, and pigeons all raced after the eagle, trying to catch this fragile object. Even the mosquitoes, gnats, and flies were chasing after it, but the bats just couldn&rsquo;t pass up the opportunity for an early dinner. So the insects didn&rsquo;t last very long.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As the ground grew closer and closer, rivers began to flood, forests started burning, glaciers melted, and avalanches devoured mountainsides. The sky darkened, the ground split open beneath them as entire families of animals were separated. In a final instant, the eagle caught up to the jar, and wrapped its wings around its shiny, black exterior as they both crunched into the ground. The last eagle in existence &ndash; majestic and magnificent &ndash; lay there, with shattered bones and crippled limbs. Before it died, its eye gazed upon the shattered jar.</p>
<p>The label read &ldquo;HUMANS,&rdquo; and as the last living eagle took its final breath, the utopia was undone.&nbsp;</p></p>
