Think About Wildlife on UK Kindness Day - Wednesday 2nd November 2011
 

Northumberland Wildlife Trust is urging members of the public to think about being kinder to wildlife on UK Kindness Day, which this year falls on Sunday 13 November.

Humanitarian, children’s charity founder and Secret Millionaire star David Jamilly founded ‘Kindness UK’. Kindness UK also celebrates ‘Kindness Day UK’ which takes place on World Kindness Day every 13th November.

The Movement, which has endorsement from a huge number of public figures, believes that acts of kindness and good deeds become an integral part of everyone's daily life and that the UK sets the standard for kindness around the world.

At 1.00pm on 13 November, Kindness Day UK will be asking people to pause for 30 seconds to reflect on kindness which could be: kind acts that have had an impact on them, a kind act you can carry out for someone and what kindness means to them as individuals. People will also be asked to perform at least one act of kindness or a good deed on that day.

Northumberland Wildlife Trust is asking people to think about how they can be kinder to our planet, environment and wildlife in these times of financial chaos. The charity is particularly concerned that people will become dislocated from wildlife and would like World Kindness Day UK to focus their attention on how they can live more lightly on the Earth.

Mike Pratt, Northumberland Wildlife Trust Chief Executive said: “UK Kindness Day is a date for everybody’s calendar. It asks people to treat each other and the planet kindly, to go out of their way to get on with one another and to respect and conserve the planet. Having met the national organiser David Jamilly, I am convinced this is another great opportunity to remind us all of the importance of treating wildlife and people with kindness. It means regarding the environment as our life support system we depend upon and by working hand in hand with nature we can improve our quality of life too, all of which is close to the heart of Northumberland Wildlife Trust.”

He continued: “I would encourage everyone to make a gesture, be it by volunteering for a day, joining a conservation organisation or providing a wildlife feature in their garden - please do one thing at least on the 13th, to demonstrate your kindness and love for Nature.”

it entirely pedends on what your willing to do to get to the front. I saw her in Boston on July 2nd. I had a doctors appointment that day so i could only show up two hours early. I had floor seats and i changed in the car on the way there. I started out like fifty feet from the stage but by the time the concert started i was front row. I got some nasty bruises because i pushed for a straight two hours but if you're a crazy enough fan its totally worth it. Plus DO NOT bring a purse or bag, i did and it was a nuisance. Put your phone in your bra your money in your panties and bring glitter. leave the rest at home.I would say if you don't want to push show up at four. Otherwise just go at 6:00 or 6:30 and push to the front.

about President Obama, not when he was a candidate and certainly not now.As for your link: First, I’m sorry your dad died, truly. Second, I have some concerns about your link, your story and the emotion contained therein, especially considering your post is anonymous even though you have made accusations against a few named individuals. And I especially have problems with some of the heightened rhetoric. It seems like campaigns are always power struggles internally, and you got the short end of the stick. I don’t know you or the internal workings of the campaign, so I won’t pass judgment on any of it… but it seems like the kind of personal disagreement that should be discussed individually.As for whether your previous blog posts could reflect on the campaign… of course they could and you can’t blame anyone for reminding you of that. I’ve lost a couple jobs recently because of this blog. I understand that. Part of speaking truth boldly is knowing that it comes with consequences. When you are part of a business or a campaign you are not only representing yourself but the organization and those consequences won’t be just born by you, but potentially everyone involved. When you recognize that, you realize you have to sometimes temper what you say, as you might be willing to face the consequences but you can’t force them on anyone else.Best of luck to you. I do hope you reconsider and support Mr. Randall in the primary and the election. Whether you do or not, I hope you find some peace with whatever happened. auto insurance quote cheapest car insurance

Mirza Ghulam Ahmed was originally a Muslim born in India in 1835 I think. At the age of forty, he claimed that the Lord conversed with him and later on he was to claim that he WAS the second coming of Christ and that the notion that Jesus will come back is a result of false interpretation of all scriptures.His followers are called Qadianis and they believe he was their Messihah and reject the second coming of Christ.Moreover they believe that Jesus is buried in Kashmir, a disputed area between India & Pakistan.They credit Mirza with making prophesies like WWi and predicting the deaths of his opponents.They claim to be part of Islam, however their rejection of Jesus’ return, acceptance of Mirza as Messihah and rejecting finality of prophethood on Mohammad makes them non-muslims. They are, by Pakistan’s constitution a separate religion.Their sacred land is Rabwa, a small city in Pakistan. And Mirza Ghulam Ahmed died in 1908, of diarrheah.You asked for a link, please see the one I mentioned in the source.God bless. auto insurance rates cheap auto insurance
