Please Help Stop Vast Pollution and Destruction from Mining in the Amazon! Sign the Petition!

Opher's World

Please help protect the Amazon from irresponsible large-scale mining! It is highly polluting and destructive!

Please sign the petition and send it on to friends.

To the investors of Belo Sun’s Volta Grande project in the Amazon and their shareholders:

Your commitment to sustainability is meaningless if you invest in projects like Belo Sun’s mining project in Volta Grande, in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. As citizens of the world, we call upon you to use your power to withdraw all your investments from this crazy venture, which threatens to inflict irreversible damage to the environment and the local indigenous communities. It is not too late to make it right.

Brave indigenous tribes are fighting a Canadian mining giant that plans to open a toxic gold mine in the heart of their sacred Amazon lands! One tribe is facing extinction if this disaster goes ahead — now grassroots groups are asking for our help!

Douglas Adams Quotes.

Douglas Adams Quotes.

It’s always a good time for some Douglas Adams quotes!

Opher's World

The great Douglas Adams was the master at creating Sci-fi humour. He died much too early. Such a great shame.

He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naïve incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.

That sums up a lot of human activity.

He hoped and prayed that there wasn’t an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn’t an afterlife.
The contradictions that people are able to hold simultaneously in their heads.
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
I like deadlines – they focus my mind.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Me too. I wouldn’t change a thing.
It is a mistake to think you can solve…

Our Mental Illnesses Are NOT Your Cute Personality Quirks…

by PoojaG11 Comments on Our Mental Illnesses Are NOT Your Cute Personality Quirks…

This. People need to understand this!

News, Reviews and the Occasional Blues...

Seriously people. The next time that I hear”Oh I must tidy up, I’m so OCD today” or “Oh she’s up one minute and down the next – she’s so bipolar!” I am going to stuff my walking stick right up that person’s asshole and turn them into a fucking lollipop. I swear I am.

Listen up people. Suffering from mental illness is no triviality and neither is it a fucking joke. I have struggles with several mental health issues, OCD and bipolar being two of them, so it really does set my teeth on edge when I hear someone coming out with an off the cuff, totally fucking moronic comment like that.

When we said we wanted mental health disorders to be spoken about more, we didn’t mean for you to appropriate them into your everyday conversations.

Lately (and unfortunately), it is becoming something of the norm that mental health…

Stephen Hawking Quotes – A tribute to the man who has now disappeared into his own black hole.

by PoojaG17 Comments on Stephen Hawking Quotes – A tribute to the man who has now disappeared into his own black hole.

Stephan Hawking was an amazing man and he will forever be an inspirations to us. Even though he is no longer with us, we will always remember him for his brilliant work.

Opher's World

Stephen Hawking – probably the greatest mind of the last fifty years – right up there with Einstein and Newton – has just fallen into his own black hole. The Hawking radiation of his life will continue to radiate from that black hole for centuries to come.

Here’s a few quotes that I can relate to.

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.
“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special,” Hawking told German paper Der Spiegel in 1988. He often spoke about space exploration and the extent…

Building a positive social circle

Building a positive social circle

Always surround yourself with positivity!

Stay Healthy -- Think Positive

I plan on getting back to the podcast soon that I created (been away from it for 3 months) and so to keep things fresh, I will probably do the Tips Tuesday — and gradually get back into things, don’t want to overwhelm myself with too much because of all the extra stuff I am now taking on. With this being said, I created this tip months ago, and I figured it is very important — something we should all aim for & that is:

 

Building a positive social circle.

 

What this means, is choosing to surround yourself with people who help to build you, motivate you, encourage you, and support you. We all have had people in our circle at one point who seemed like the debbie downer or the one that constantly complains about life and all the downs but never sees any positive things from…

Writer Survival 101 (Guest Post)

By Lisa Reynolds The life of a writer is one of hard work and trying to get your work noticed. In such a highly populated field so many works are passed over simply because readers can only read so much at any given time. But if you keep going, you never know what is around [...]
