This Poem Will Change Your Life

This Poem Will Change Your Life

I want to dedicate this little poem to those youngsters who want to do something in life but having obstacles in achieving their goal. Only we and our God know ourselves better. So continue trying to achieve your goals. Believe in yourself. Be good and Do good. And let the God decide the rest.

I believe I can fly,
I believe I can touch the sky.

Doesn't matter how worst the circumstances are,
Doesn't matter if in opposition, most of the people are.
I believe I can fly.

This life is full of ups and downs,
Doesn't matter if life has pushed me down.
I believe I can fly.

I won't quit even if I am the hardest hit,
I won't quit even if I am down a bit.

I know I am bit unlucky,
But I know I have the power to change my luck.

I know success is very near,
Soon everyone will call me dear.
B'coz I believe I can fly.

I know failure is the way towards success,
I know everyone will soon love my success.
I know perseverance is the real strength,
I know God will give me this super strength.

When I have the strong determination,
Then there is nothing to fear.
When I know I can do it,
Then it doesn't matter if people think I can't.

I know soon I will be at the top,
I know soon you will accept me as the topper.
I know there will be bright sunny day after this dark night,
I know I can't be stopped even if I have become blind in this dark night.
B'coz I believe I can fly,
I believe I can touch the sky.

Three Different Types of Jackpots in Online Slot Games

Three Different Types of Jackpots in Online Slot Games

There are many different types of online slot machine games available to the public nowadays. Since Charles Fey invented the first slot machine in 1895 everything imaginable has been done to this popular sport to improve the excitement, especially at online casinos. Besides the simple 3 reel slots you have 20 to 50 betline slots. There are interactive slot games with bonus game features embedded within the spin modes. But there is nothing like the jackpot slots to keep a player coming back for more.

With the popularity of online gaming growing year by year there are more people playing jackpot slot machine games online. The more people that play, the more money is available to increase the amount of the jackpot. The most popular jackpot slot games on the market are Progressive Jackpots. Progressive jackpots grow more the more players are using them. Normally a progressive jackpot is operated and promoted by the online software provider in conjunction with the software provider’s partner online casinos. The software providers might have as many as 50 casinos using there online slot games. Every time any one of the players at any one of the online casinos , spins the reels 3 to 4 of the wager will be accumulated in a special account of the software provider. This is the money that will eventually be paid out to the winner. So there could be thousands of players every day adding to the winning sum of the jackpot. Sometimes you can see directly on theslot machine game board the amount of the current jackpot. The amount normally has the last two figures going higher and higher every second. You can actually see the jackpot in real time grow and grow. It is impressive really. I have seen progressive jackpots of $5,000,000 and up. These are truly “Life Changing Jackpots”. I would imagine it would be quit a shock to win one.

Not all Jackpots are progressive. Some Jackpots have a set amount and do not changing. These can be equally attractive. One of the big advantages of these set prize jackpots is that you have a better chance of wining. True the amount could be less than a million euros but it would be more realistic to think that you could walk away with the prize. Many of these type jackpots are won by matching 5 symbols up on an active beltline. Or too, they could be won inside an interactive bonus game feature. Interactive bonus game features are more and more the fashion. I see more and more interactive slots being released everyday. There was a time when they were unfamiliar to the public. But nowadays more than half of the newly released slot games are interactive.

The last type of jackpot you will find online is a type where you do not leave the bonus game mode until you claim it. These of coarse are of a smaller scale. You can see these jackpots ranging from a few hundred dollars to one or two thousand. Lucky frog by NetEnt is an example. When you hit three frogs on an active betline you enter the bonus round. In thebonus game round you spin the jackpot wheel. The wheel must land on one of the 3 jackpot sizes. Depending on the amount of your wager you will have a better or worse chance of landing on the larger jackpot amount.

When Fey was alive the jackpot amount had to be very small. There was only 3 reels with 10 symbols on each reel. So there was not enough combination's to grant a large jackpot. Now there are 5 reels with more than 50 symbols per reel. This alone let the jackpot amount out of the box. Now for a jackpot amount the designers could program a 15,000,000 to one chance of winning a jackpot with a five reel slot containing 50 symbols each.

If you are serious about wining a large progressive jackpot then it would be best to focus on one that you can play away from home. Many avid jackpot chasers try their luck between lunch breaks and on vacation. So a no download slot game offered by flash casinos is what you need. These are also Mac compatible. A no download casino can be played on a computer that is not yours. It would not be recommendable to download a program into a computer you do not own. The information privy to you and the casino could be compromised once you leave the play. So take this under consideration while choosing a progressive jackpot to play on.

Global Warming

Global Warming

Is globe sitting on active volcano?
Are the world leaders aware and really know?
Do they know entire globe is on fire?
Industries and pollution they encourage and admire,

Weather changes fast with unseasonal rain,
Flood is creating havoc ant that is worry main,
Everything we stand to loose and nothing to gain,
All efforts are wasted and going in vain

World's powerful nations flout the rules
Advise other nations and look they fool
Rain brings storms and snow in deserts,
They hold meetings only for concerts,

Glaciers are drifting and slowly melting,
Cold regions boil and people are sweating,
Human race is in danger and survival at stake,
People not bother and are not still awake,

Seas and oceans are rising and may swell,
Waves may sweep areas and not speak well
Shores may be washed and play havoc
Destruction will be as times cloak

Nothing will be left and efforts fail to save
Nature's fury will add to injury and will not pave
Neglect of nature means digging grave
Who can offer solution and act as brave?

Forests are over and vastly vanishing,
Green belt only in name and finishing,
Oil, gas, smoke generally polluting the air,
You may find your children with white hair,

Diseases of several kinds may not find cure,
Unnatural deaths certain and asking for sure,
We displease the nature and inviting wrath,
Inhaling poison inside which is difficult to breath,

One fifth of land will be totally submerged,
Sea will rise enormously and can't be contained
Situation so alarming that it can't be managed,
No solution in sight and resolutions not arranged,

Something is to be done in earnestness,
Industries can thrive but with neatness,
Water can be used freely but with purpose
Human lives can be saved before they are disposed

Can we not be serious again?
Back to nature and energy regain,
Lovely green fields mushroom with fresh air,
Will the efforts not be necessary and fair? 
                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                            - hasmukh amathalal

Creating a Memory Book through Scrapbooking

The art of Scrapbooking has become very popular. Scrapbooking allows you to create memory books that are so much more than the old standard, boring photo albums of yesterday. Using the immense supplies available for you to choose from in your Scrapbooking, you can create memory books that reflect not only your personality: but that also help you to capture the true "essence" of those special memories you want remembered forever.

You can begin making your memory scrapbook, sure to become a treasure to be shared from generation to generation with basic materials like patterned paper, rubber stamps, patterns, stencils, stickers, serrated- scissors, and the photos you already have. This is just a small example of the many supplies that are available for you to choose from in creating your memory book. You can find Scrapbooking supplies online and in many malls and outlet stores today. Software programs are also available to help you design the perfect memory book for your precious memories.

Begin by looking at a photo; recall the memories and feelings that arise by looking at this picture that has been captured on film. What does this picture represent to you? Maybe it is the love of family and friends, or the adventure you found on your last vacation. Whatever it is, consider how you might best represent these feelings, and memories so that someone else looking at this same photograph, even a few generations removed, will be able to understand the emotions and circumstances surrounding the images of the people, places, or things seen in this particular piece of film. Being able to know why a certain picture was taken, and what it meant to the one who took the shot, results in a 'bonding' between the original picture taker, the event captured, and the one who is now looking at these images.

Once you have started to think about what this picture means to you and how you would like to best represent that meaning, you can start to create a memory scrapbook that will keep these precious memories alive forever. The best memory books have pages that employ the use of many different types of materials. Don't be afraid to mix stickers with cut-outs (made by designed scissors), patterned papers, stencils, rubber stamp images, markers, crayons, and labels. Let your creative-side come out in the designing of your memory books.

With a little creativity it is easy to create memory scrapbooks that are a joy to share with family and friends. Family history can be captured in these books: to be recalled in your lifetime and as testimonials of relatives in the past, to be known and remembered by the generations to follow. You not only have a plethora of choices in materials already available to choose from in creating your memory book, new ideas, and materials are created every day for those who want to use scrapbooking as a way to create memory books that will last forever.

What should you use to hold your newly created memory pages? You can choose to use a standard photo album, one that you can decorate using the same materials used in making your memory pages. Or maybe you will want to complete your memory book by laminating a couple of special memory pages for the front and back covers, and then "binding" them together with all of your memory pages into a book. You can learn more about bookbinding through books and software programs. Scrapbook stores and the internet are also good sources of information about scrapbooking and bookbinding.

What You Need to Know to Make a Scrapbook

he first thing you need to know about making a scrapbook is that it isn't a complicated process at all. Scrapbooking isn't just for the 'crafty' person among us either. In fact, you don't need to have any 'crafting' skills at all, in order to create a scrapbook of memories that will last for generations to come.

Scrap bookingis a way to take those photographs, and things that hold special meaning, out from the standard, and (yawn) boring photo albums, and the boxes where they are being stored, to add personality to and truly capture the 'essence' of what these mean to you.

There are so many books, DVD's, software programs, scrapbook stores, and internet sites dedicated to scrap booking that anyone can do it. In books, and DVD's about scrapbooking you will find ideas and tips on how to create personalized pages for your scrapbook, some even have patterns that are easily copied for use in the designing of your scrapbook. Most software programs have templates built into them for a fast and simple way to decorate your scrapbook. Scrapbook stores, online and off, and web sites for scrapbooking are all good resources to find design ideas for your scrapbook as well as the supplies you will need to complete your project. You will even find information on how best to join or bind your personal pages together once you have created them to make a lasting keepsake that you will cherish. With such a wealth of information, materials, supplies, and services available today: it is no wonder that scrapbooking has become so popular, and fun for so many.

Some of the unique supplies available for you to use in making a scrapbook and that also helps to make this such an easy and enjoyable activity for so many include items such as:

  • Stickers
  • Pre-Filled Labels
  • Patterns
  • Stencils
  • Serrated- Scissors
  • Designer Papers
  • Glitter Pens
  • Cut-outs
  • Ribbons
  • Buttons
  • Binders
Making a scrapbook of memories doesn't have to be an expensive endeavor either. You can find many of these things at discounted prices and you may already have some of these items around the house, in the kids craft box for example. Scrapbook making is especially fun for children. Let them get out the construction paper and cut out picture from magazines or old greeting cards to glue on their very own special pages. Encourage them to be creative using markers, crayons, glitter pens, stencils, buttons, small pieces of fabric, or whatever else you can come up with together. You can punch holes in the pages that they create and then let them loop the pages together with ribbon or yarn. This is an activity that will keep the kids busy for long periods of time and is also an activity that you can enjoy right along with them.

Once you have all constructed your own unique scrapbooks, you can share them with one another to get a different perspective on old photographs and memories. Recall the memories of the events displayed in your scrapbooks and share love, laughter, and life-lessons with each other.

It is time to bring those pictures and mementos that hold such precious memories, out from the confines of drab albums and dark boxes, so that they can be displayed in a manner that best represents their full meaning to you and those you share these treasure books with. Create your keepsake treasure by making a scrapbook today!

Dog Training - Stopping your Dog From Chewing

Anybody with a dog can tell you stories of coming home to bits and pieces of chew up furniture and food wrappers covering the floor. Though this can be an expensive accident (like when my lab chewed a hole in our brand new couch) it can also be dangerous to the health of your dog. Dog don’t know what could potentially harm them and it is up to you to keep them safe. Before we get into the methods of stopping your dog from chewing first it is important to know why your dog chews. Dogs chew for a variety of reasons one of the main reasons is boredom, dogs are social animals and when you are gone at work for an extended period of time, they don’t have anything else to do so they chew what’s around them.
Separation anxiety is also a large cause of excessive chewing in puppies and grown dogs. Puppies when teething need something to relieve the pain and will resort to chewing everything in site, including your fingers! They also will chew when seeking attention and while awaiting your arrival home. The easiest way to prevent your dog from chewing is by taking away everything that they might chew, if there isn’t anything around then there is no problem.
This is much easier said then done, seeing as how most people don’t want to rid their house of all their furniture and food. The next step is to give your dog suitable chewing toys, they are going to chew either way but by giving them something that you find appropriate they can chew all they want without doing anything wrong. My big dogs love the, “Terradactyl Bones” (cow thighs). These bones last several months, can be left outside and only cost a few dollars. Before purchasing one be warned that they can create a mess so be sure to leave your dog somewhere a mess can be created, this can be the yard, a dog cage, a dog pen or a spare room. More common chew toys are made of rubber but won’t last as long as a bone. Be sure to provide your dog with multiple chew toys in case they don’t like one would just prefer a change. You can also buy toys in which food can be placed inside.
This is a great reinforcer, it encourages your dog to chew the designated toy and quietly lay down while chewing. After all the precaution and procedures above are followed, chances are your dog won’t stop chewing over night. Catching your dog in the act is the easiest way to let him know exactly what he is doing wrong. In a stern voice say, “No” and replace what he was chewing with a toy and then after your dog embraces they toy precede with praise. The worst thing you can do is scold your dog for something that he isn’t doing right then, he won’t remember what he did wrong and be confused as to why you are mad.
Remember your dog is just a dog, it doesn’t know what things are worth and will chew what ever it wants. As with all dog training the key is to reward good behavior, praise goes much further then scolding. If your dog continues to disobey trying keeping him in a dog cage, dog crate or dog pen while he is unsupervised, that way he can only chew what you give him.
