KATE’S PLACE

Phone rings,

Hello double glazing, phone rings, hello my company is conducting a survey, hello hello hello…argeee bugger off…lmaooooooooo

But now…drumroll….

A device has been invented by two British men which could elimiate the unwanted phone calls for good.

Steve Smith and John Price saw the impact that nuisance calls were having on their relatives. They decided to act, designing a unique device which simply plugs into your landline at home.

“trueCall” works by creating a “safe zone” between the caller and the receiver. The zone learns to distinguish welcome callers from unwelcome callers.

It has worked effectively in trials and the inventors are now talking to manufacturers about building the features directly into telephones

New research shows the unwanted calls are a growing problem.

What’s causing the unprecedented decline of millions of honeybees? This mystery has been vexing some of the world’s best scientists ever since U.S. beekeepers began noticing enormous numbers of their bees dying off or vanishing for no apparent reason several years ago.

Honeybees contribute some $15 billion to the U.S. economy every year, pollinating 90 major crops, everything from fruits to nuts. Most of us take these foods for granted, rarely realizing the vital role tiny creatures play in making them thrive.

Put simply, says zoologist Martin Wikelski, “Everything depends on pollinators.”

That’s one reason this leader in the study of small-animal migration has begun examining the mostly unknown universe of bee movement.

I watched the documentary this  evening and it was sad in parts and happy in others. Seeing the Gorillas in the wild was a great experience even just sat in a chair at home so to actually see them in the flesh must have been aswesome for Diana. Everything went well untill suddenly some moron decpaitated and took hands off a Silverback..thats when I cried because there is no need for such butchery. These magnificent animals are so friendly towards humans its unreal… Is that their mistake..maybe so.

Awesome footage!

The environmental group Greenpeace says it’s stopped several palm oil shipments from leaving Indonesia, calling for an end to the clearing of forest and peatlands for plantations.

The ships were about to leave from Dumai, Indonesia’s main port for oil exports.

A Greenpeace spokesman says one of their members was chained to the anchor chain of a ship carrying palm oil to prevent it leaving.

Activists are said to have painted slogans on the hulls of other palm oil tankers, as well as a barge full of rainforest timber.

Greenpeace says large areas of land in the Papua and Riau regions are being converted for oil palm plantation to the detriment of the environment.

I saw that heading in the paper shop today - ‘Palace says no to Poppies in the Palace’,

Hopefullly you are all home safe n sound after Trick or Treat night last night,

For one child’s family  its an horror story on a night when it should just be fun. A time to look foward to opening prezzies on Christmas day.

A 12-year-old boy trick-or-treating with his family in central South Carolina was shot from inside a home Friday and killed, and his father and brother were wounded by the gunfire, authorities said.

Here we have a notice in our windows no trick or treating here - thanks! I have said before to friends that these kiddies do not know whats behind the door they knock on and it looks like I was right. Our sympathies go out to the child’s parents who must be so distraught.

The rest of the horror story:
