Published on Leave a comment on Private Browsers And Search Engines: A Better Way To Go!

Many of us are tired of Security Alerts with GOOGLE.......Right? There is a Better way to Go if you are interested in more Security. Because even when there are not Cyber Security Threats on Google like Bank Accounts being hacked etc. Google is into Information Farming with your Searches and Purchases - tracking where you go on the Internet and what you Buy. They then SELL this Information to a lot of Advertisers and all. Google even records your IP Address. They do this mostly through a GOOGLE ANALYTICS program, they heavily promote to Website Owners and CEOs.

It doesn't sound like an ethical practice, does it? You're absolutely right. It is Not!

That's where the beauty of Private Browsers come in, instead of Chrome and Edge.......AND......Private Search Engines, instead of Google, Bing and Yahoo. Because Google isn't the only one into Information Farming, but they lead the way in it.…

Published on Leave a comment on School Teacher Runs Food Drive From His Front Yard To Feed His Students’ Families!

By Jade Scipioni from CNCB.COM

HE IS A CULINARY TEACHER. PLEASE READ HOW HE ACTED ON NEWS HE HEARD FROM STUDENTS ATTENDING HIS CLASS AND HOW HIS FAMILY GOT INVOLVED. THEY ARE PASSIONATE AND CONSISTENT TOO. THE CARROLL FAMILY ARE TO BE COMMENDED INDEED FOR THEIR BENEVOLENCE AND TIRELESS EFFORTS. IN A WORLD WHERE SO MANY PEOPLE TAKE ALL THEY CAN GET AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS (So Selfish) IT IS SO GOOD TO HEAR MORE REPORTS ABOUT THE GIVERS. BESIDES, GIVING, EVEN IN SMALL WAYS CAN BE SO ENRICHING. THIS STORY IS REALLY INTERESTING READING AND A GOOD EXAMPLE TO ALL - ENJOY!

While assigning meal prep and homework to his culinary arts students during the shutdown, Kelly Carroll learned that many of his students didn't have access to food in their homes. Instead of just talking about homework assignments, he began asking his students if they were in need of food; the area where they reside has no local food bank.…

Published on Leave a comment on Former Musician Turns to Gardening In The Pandemic – Others Are Doing This!

ABC Wide Bay / By Eliza Goetze July 2020

Up until earlier this year, Luen Free was typically in a dimly lit nightclub, entertaining.

But with the Coronavirus pandemic putting her and many others out of work, she is using the time to pursue her other passion: Organic Farming.

And with the pandemic leaving fewer backpackers who typically go 'WWOOFing' — volunteering on organic farms — Australians are being encouraged to help out on home soil. Soaking up knowledge.

WWOOF stands for Willing Workers on Organic Farms, a worldwide movement that has connected thousands of volunteers — many of them travellers — with farmers who offer food and a bed in exchange for gardening know-how.

From DJ To Permaculture During Pandemic

G'Day Farm co-founder, Greg Dixon, said he and his wife Dionne would struggle to run the farm smoothly without WWOOFers.

They welcome a small number of regular volunteers, who donate a few hours each week, as well as visitors like Luen and her husband Patch who stay for a week or more.…

Published on Leave a comment on A New Innovation For Recycling Glass Instead Of Landfill. Guess What It Is?

YES WHEN YOU READ ABOUT THIS, YOU WILL DISCOVER HOW IT WILL HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE AND CUT SOME EXPENSES. THIS IS A BIT LIKE THE STORY OF MAKING CRATES ETC FROM PLASTIC BOTTLES, PUTTING THEM TO USE FOR A GOOD PURPOSE. THIS IDEA COULD TAKE OFF WORLD-WIDE, AND AGAIN 'PUT US ON THE MAP' FOR A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. AND ALSO, IT COULD POSSIBLY ENCOURAGE MORE GROCERIES IN GLASS JARS INSTEAD OF CANS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT LANDFILL. I WISH FOR THOSE - IT'S MUCH HEALTHIER.

Rather Than End Up in a Landfill, Non-Recyclable Glass May Soon Be a Cheaper New Ingredient in Concrete
From Good News Network

Australian researchers have developed an exciting new technique for making concrete out of non-recyclable glass that has been turned back into sand.

The team found that ground-up glass can be used specifically to make polymer concrete, a material that uses polymers – typically resins – to replace lime-type cement as a binder for roads.…

Published on Leave a comment on Social Isolation Helped Me Discover The Wonders Of Walking and Enjoying Nature!

By Zoe Victoria April 2020

It’s been 16 days since my university shut down classes and I went into social isolation. Those first days of isolation felt like the end of the world. I felt constantly on edge. I was in a terrible mood most of the time and I resented the fact that I was stuck inside the house for everything. My work was online, my studies had transitioned online, I could only see and talk to my friends online. And amidst all of that, the internet bubble of news only seemed to be getting more and more anxiety-inducing.

I spent those sought after minutes of freedom walking my neighbourhood in an attempt to rid myself of the negative feelings of anger and anxiety that seemed to be constantly swirling around inside me. 

I have begun to look forward to my daily walk not just as an escape but as an enjoyable activity in its own right

And so my daily walk began as a way to escape the confines of the four walls of my house.…

Published on Leave a comment on Field Trials Show Flowers Help Beat Vegetable Pests – Read This!

GLAD TO KNOW AT LEAST ONE PROFESSOR IS INTERESTED TO STUDY NATURE'S WAY AND PROMOTING HIS FINDINGS. ORGANIC GARDENERS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL US THESE THINGS FOR YEARS. COMMERCIAL FARMERS MAKE THEM OUT TO BE THE 'ODD BODS' SO TO SPEAK. TODAY'S TOXIC AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY HAS MUCH TO ANSWER FOR - THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BUILDUP OF CHEMICALS IN PEOPLE'S SYSTEMS, THEIR BODY CANNOT HANDLE - ALONG WITH BIG PHARMA AND THE COMMERCIAL FOOD INDUSTRY. HONESTLY, RIGHT THERE IS THE REASON WHY MOST PEOPLE ARE SICK. IT'S NOT NORMAL, IT'S CONSIDERED TO BE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T KNOWN ANY DIFFERENT BUT OUR FOR-PARENTS DID AND THEY WERE WELL. TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, WE CANNOT IMPROVE ON NATURE - WE'RE BEST WORKING WITH HER - NOW, TO SEE WHY. SHALL WE GO?

COMPANION planting of flowers near vegetable crops is nothing new but a researcher is aiming to more fully document the benefits on a commercial level.…

Published on Leave a comment on United Kingdom and Indonesia Accepting Free Trade Agreements With Australia!

OUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS MAKING SOME GOOD MOVES AT THIS TIME AND I EXPECT THERE COULD BE A FEW MORE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. WE NEED TO BE OPEN TO NEW CONCEPTS FOR FAVORABLE CHANGES TO OCCUR. WE NEED TO LOOK FORWARD AND NOT BACK. WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL CAN DEVELOP NEW AND POSITIVE MINDSETS, IT'S A GOOD THING - HOW MUCH COULD AUSTRALIA BENEFIT IF A GOVERNMENT IN POWER CAN CHANGE IT'S MINDSET AND ADAPT TO NEW CONCEPTS? IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY BE ABOUT TO SEE.

Australia Begins Free-Trade Agreement Talks With United Kingdom

By Jamieson Murphy  Jun 2020

AUSTRALIA has officially begun negotiating a free-trade agreement with the United Kingdom, the Trade Minister has revealed.

Recent agreements have seen the two countries become closer trading partners, however they were not allowed to start free-trade negotiations until the UK had formally left the European Union (EU) earlier this year.…
