    kaylar wrote a new post, The Fattest People in the World 8 years ago

    The fattest people in the world live on a set of Pacific islands

    Being the fattest comes with drawbacks,  over 40% of the population has type 2 diabetes and life expectancy is falling.

    This explosion in d […]

    • Yes there are countless peoples who are living on earth but the cause of very person to be fatty is separate actually fatness is due to fat gathering around first your waist and slowly and slowly the whole body becomes fatty not due to diabetes but due to lack of essential mineral in the body of which low burning fire melts fat from the whole body.

      On the the second cause of fatness is also this that peoples drink too much cold water that freezes everything of human body blood, fat and other chemical compound all these factors promote fatness.

      To avoid fatness eat all grains, dry fruits, sea foods and all vegetables its minerals will melt the whole fat from your body through perspiration.

    • Although I didn’t mention it here, there is a genetic factor. People who are not used to particular foods will have a reaction. If for thousands of years your ancestors ate fish, now, these ‘flaps’ are difficult to digest.

    • This is a very interesting topic. This takes place not only in Tonga, but also in regions like the Caribbean. We can see a pattern where the diet then and now varies. As centuries pass, there as been a break down in diet. with the improvement of technology comes more and more processed foods which is one of the main cause of many illnesses. For example, in the Caribbean, where as diets usually include many ground provisions, today, the diet mainly consist of rice and fatty meats; and ground provisions are now processed into all types of chips. Like Konga, the poorer set of persons in the society consume fatty meats filled with hormone boosters, while the higher class consume a healthier diet as they can afford it. In other wards, standard of living is also another factor which affects the the health of a nation.

      • You know what you’re saying. We never had diabetes in Ja. We ate ‘food’, that yam, banana, breadfruit, cassava, and vegetables and very little meat. Now, people stop using coconut oil, buy the nasty cheap vegetable oil, eat all the cheap processed meat and fast food, and diabetes and obesity sky rocket.

        • It is really good to know still there are some places where people are not affected by food stuff. Eating vegetable oil, banana,cassava, are really good items for food. Why people are not preferring Coconut Oil is really a pity. It has got many benefits. It nourishes hair and the skin.

          If anybody is having muscle pains in the knee area it gives lot of a permanent cure from the pains.

          Add two spoons of Coconut Oil to a hot tea and take it. Within 2-3 hours all muscle pains in the knee area will disappear. But one should take it regularly till the pains vanish completely. This is the benefit of coconut oil.

          It is really sad to know that such valuable stuff is not being preferred by the people and they are going for unhealthy processed meat which only increases the fat content in the body.

    • What I understood is that the Government is exporting those which are good for people and importing those which are not beneficial to the health. This is the tragedy prevailing in almost all countries of the world.

      Fat is accumulated in the body mainly due to: 1. not following regular diet 2. preferring junk food 3. improper / irregular exercises 4. as per the recent research report Depression.

      I want to keep the information on the above separately.

      Now the point is why the people are preferring such junk, fast, and stored foods in their diet. Earlier they were eating vegetables, fruits, and other food having the good amount of coconut oil. These are very useful in reducing the fat content i the body. We can not blame the Government time and again . The people must realize what we are eating and how the food habits have been changed and how they are affecting our health.

      The parents should not allow such food in their diet. They will be very tasty. One can have them just for a change once in a while. But together with the local diet.

      An increase of 15% in the Diabetes rate is not an ordinary thing. People should take it to the notice of the Government and see that such foods are restricted to the maximum.

      Coke is another hazardous drink. I totally hate it.
      They do not serve any purpose but for cleaning the kitchen Sink.
      Whenever I find my Sink sticky I pour a bottle of soft drink. Within minutes the sink becomes fresh and gives a good look.

      People are using such drinks and consuming them as a luxury and fashionable drink. This is really pitiable to see these people drinking those harmful drinks.

    The dangers of  a false memory is in creating a ‘past’ which did not happen.  Often this leads to psychological problems, and, in law, wrongfully convicting an innocent person.

    In False Memory syndrome, an ou […]

    • If a person dares to take advantage of and implant a false memory into another person’s mind, then they are not a “psycho-therapist”. They’re just an evil bastard! Well! You can’t call it therapy!

      But I’d like to say this, although I’m not a professional in the field of psychiatry or psychology. I believe what the Psalmist wrote when he said “We are fearfully and wonderfully made.” I don’t believe our Creator fashioned us in such a way that it can be so simple and easy to take advantage of our minds.

      There was also a doctor who thought that criminal violent tendencies could be cured by a simple operation on the brain. The operations were a success until one of his patients killed him!

      So I’m not at all convinced about these “false memories” or the results of the experiment that were reported.

      Just call me a “Doubting Thomasina”. 🙂

      • Dr. Elizabeth Loftus; the preeminanet expert on memory…(it’s her ‘white car’ and ‘lost in the mall’ experiments which have been most useful), has proven, time and again, that false memories can be created and held onto in a process…(I think I’ll write another article on the process).. what I found so interesting was the litigation.

        • The same person who can prove a memory is “false” ought to be able reveal a memory that’s “true”. That’s all I’m sayin’. Cause in The End, what good is a false memory? It ain’t no better than a lie! Just sayin’.

          • It is not that you remember wearing red to Pat’s wedding, but in truth you wore blue. It is that you never went to Pat’s wedding. You never went but someone you have been convinced that you were there. And you hold to that memory so tightly that even if you are shown photographs and you are in none, you keep saying; “No! I was there!” And when it is proven that when Pat was getting married you were at the supermarket, you still keep trying to believe you were there.

    • Human memory neither is false nor true. It is actually a empty tablet on which we write what we want through our good or bad deeds. Or we cram something some time we forget or and sometime learn by rote as some people cannot recall childhood events accurately and some cannot.

      It is not the fault of memory but the fault of human being’s memory disk of our brain becomes full or overloads the stuffs.

      Actually memory is the ability to store past incidents and its demonstration becomes on the brain screen. When we say that its memory is weak does not mean the memory is weak but things are stored in memory but the mind screen on which memory reflects past events is defective.

      Nothing can be wasted in human memory if it is stored once it is our brain or mind fault that does not show us.

    If you recall your childhood, you may remember things that didn’t happen.  ‘Memories’ which were given to you by your parents or other adults who had influence over you.  As an adult when you look back, you m […]

    • Yes you say my friend there are many people whose memories deceive them and sometimes proves true keeping in mind all past and childhood memories. It court sharp memory persons are utilized for false witness to deceive the Judge but the Judge knows the fact in spite of this he remains silence ignoring the false eye witness. It is done in every country.

      • In my country a woman swore that she saw a particular man break into her house. She wasn’t shaking a bit. Then the Superintendent of the Prison was called. He testified the man was in Prison at the time of the break in. And she kept insisting she saw him.

    • You have rightly mentioned it. In the former case, this is the time gap that proved as false. In the latter case, it is the overlapping of memories. In either case, this is only the individual who is confused. This shows how the cases are twisted in Courts. As there are many such cases which are being twisted finally people are approaching the DNA test.

      • The DNA tests which prove that the man identified by the witness is innocent has caused a very serious examination of ‘eye witness’ testimony.

        The fact is, many people are ‘told’ who committed the crime against them, many people confused suspects, many people over write images. So one must be very careful and check.

    • Yes indeed the mind can definitely play tricks on you. But inherent in the description or phrase “false memory” is … the truth or a true memory must exist! That’s the memory that needs to extracted from the mind; especially, if clarification and evidence is needed for a legal matter. Don’t you think? 🙂

      • One has to be very careful as to how the memory is provoked. This is what scientists are debating about. The victim gives a broad description. One has to be careful not to make an error, not to prompt. It is a far more serious issue than simply mistaking a hershey bar for a cadburry.

        • The question is: Are they trying a provoke a memory or create a memory? I say the idea of a “false memory” comes from the notion of folks trying to create a memory and inject it into someone’s psyche, and badgering the person into believing that it’s the truth.

          OK. I don’t mean any disrespect to genuine scientists who are serious about their research and sincerely want to uncover and explain things that we don’t understand, but a lot of the so-called scientists just keep a “debate” going so they can stay employed.

          If a devious (unethical and immoral) scientist, a devious medical practitioner, and a devious lawyer decided to get together on a “plan” to work the system, then ___________________. Oh … my … God!!! Can you imagine what can fill in that blank??!! I can’t!! My imagination don’t stretch that far. But I can guess that it wouldn’t be something good!

          I maintain that, in any country, in any part of the world, the opposite of FALSE is TRUE. If you wrap up a Hershey bar as a Cadbury, I wouldn’t be that upset. If you try to substitute or replace a falsehood for a truth, that’s not a mistake. That’s a willful and deliberate intent to deceive. Deception is usually never on the tail end or at the beginning of anything good! Just sayin’.

          • If there is a chocolate on the desk and you remember it being a Hershey Bar but it was really Cadburry; that is NOT False Memory. False Memory is when there was no chocolate on the desk but somehow you are made to believe that there was a chocolate on the desk and you took it. But there was no chocolate on the Desk.

            • So you’re saying it was “created”. It didn’t happen!

              I wish this just a discussion just about chocolate. It would be more palatable. 🙂 I put all this talk about “false memory” in the same category with people who try to legally argue they committed a crime because they are “demon possessed”.

              If you’re in the field of psychology or medicine and you create a memory of an event that never happened, no way you’re going to convince me that you’re trying to cure your patient.

              If you’re a lawyer and you want to “try” or “test” a legal argument to see if it will hold up in court, but you’re not really interested in getting to the truth of the matter and justice being served, then you will never be legal counsel for me! Just sayin’. 🙂

              This is an interesting discussion. It’s a topic that people can be discussing for years! Although it seems like the scientists already figured that out, huh? 🙂

          • It is a real issue. It is not just a mythological hypothetical. It is real. There have been cases in which people have been, as in the very first example, brought to believe they were sexually molested when they were not. One of the most horrible was a middle aged woman who was made to believe her brother raped her at a particular time and place. Her brother was dead at the time; killed in Viet Nam. The parents didn’t know he was killed until about a year later and kept it from her until she was older. This belief that her brother had molested her was so powerful that she actually believed it and blamed it for all her failings and when she confronted her parents and they proved he was dead a year before the event.. that was a complete breakdown for her.

            It is not just an intellectual game. Many psychiatrists/psychologists are having their insurance companies refusing to pay … advising them of the decision that they will not pay for sudden adult memories of childhood abuse which were ‘discovered’ in the office of that policy holder and later prove to be untrue.

            • Yeah it’s a real issue alright. The real issue is there is a “subtle evil at work” in the instances you referred to or described and very likely in all of the instances where these “happenings” occur. It is a “really nasty and vicious mind game” that is being played with people by people with “malicious motives”. A person blind from birth can see The Serpent raising its ugly head!

          • In many legal cases, the therapist is so certain that some sort of abuse happened they stop at nothing to prove it. This was extremely common in the late 80s early 90s. As is coming clear; many therapists are quite dangerous.

            In other cases, as you have seen with recent over turnings of convictions, is that how did this complainant come to identify that accused. So eye witness testimony is being carefully scrutinised.

            • Said this already but I’ll say it again. You picked an extremely interesting topic. I have really enjoyed our discussion. You have the last word. Thanks for going back and forth with me on this. It helped clarify a lot in my mind. (Yawn.) It’s about 11:30 PM where I am. I’m going to bed. Good night! 🙂

    • Memories can come to your brain knowingly and unknowingly. Until this age I always convince my self that I can remember what happened when I was 2 years old. I will be like asking myself, is this true? Or just an imagination of myself when crawling.
      Sometimes I tell people I remember when I crawl from my house to a neighbour’s house. I believe this so much because the memory comes with a clear image.
      Going through this post makes me think I was just having an imagination.
      My mother always tell us stories of how we were born and what we did when we were small. So I think my brain relates to her stories and forms a clear image in my brain which will forever be intact. Sometimes I even see clear vision of when my mother was heavily pregnant of me. Relating to her stories, my brain forms a video which perhaps somehow make me think I was one of the doctors that operated on her and brought out the baby(that’s me).
      Thats a nice post my dear. You really have made me understand a lot about false and true memory and how our brain relate to information being given to us.
      But another thing that can cause false memory for my case or any other person’s case are the things we see, the television we watch on our daily basis also contribute to our false memory.
      When you watch a television or a program where women are being taken to hospital for delivery, you tend to start thinking it was how you were born by your mother. So you start imagining the woman on the television or program as your mother and the baby is you.

    • That refusal to admit, that certainty that he never said it, despite proof is a very good example of the dangers of a false memory

    • Yes. Parents will tell you stories, sometimes they aren’t exactly true, but in most cases, they don’t imprison you. A false memory does because it ‘fights’ to survive. For example, a woman who fell out of a window, (according to the doctors she was asleep or unconscious, according to the police the first words she said; “What are you doing in my bedroom?”) was made to believe she jumped in a suicide attempt to escape a family member.

      Despite the fact her description of the window, the ledge, how she stood and looked is absolutely false, (there is no ledge and the window screen was on the ground, meaning she never opened the screen but went through it, so never stood on any ledge) she will cling to it and it has ruined her life, her relationships.

    • Yes parents will tell they stories sometimes they ave’nt exactly true in most cases they don’t imprison you false memories does examples because they fight to survived for example woman who fell out of window ( according to the doctor she was sleep unconcious) according to the police the first words she said what are you doing in my bedroom, was made to believe that she jump out of window of his house trying to commit suicide family member said.

      Despite the facts her description of the window, the ledge how she stold and look the window screen was on the ground meaning she never open the window it an evil for someone to away his or her life no matter what your past throgh.

      • I am very familiar with that case. The woman herself attended a psychologist who invented the suicide story. She did not try to kill herself. She fell out of a window, but the psychologist looking for an explanation as to why the patient had other problems, created the suicide.

    • The types of esteem you have influence your total self. High esteem is more preferrd because it influences the way others feel about us. It increases confidence in oneself; self satifaction, belief in one self; ability to cope with chanllenges, willingness to take on new chanllenges; ability to live a good citizen etc. A while the influence of low esteem include

      1) makes decision making difficult and leads to low morale.
      Lack of selfconfidence,
      Unhappiness,lack of self satifaction
      Feelingbof being dislike and unwanted, being withdrawn; distorted wiews of self.

    • Inability to tackle new challenges and avoiding new experinces. If you have low self- esteem; work hard to strength it to high esteem. While high esteem; infuence positive decision, low esteem influence decision negatively. For intance being more influenced by peer presure
      Always wanted to please other people; lacking confidence in ones own value
      Blaming others for one’s failure; finding excuses for refusing positive changes.
      Continually wishing to be someone else etc. A look at the negative Impact of low esteem shows that It is better to develop a high esteem.let us examine how high self- esteem may influence our decision.
      Choose friends whose values we approve; willing to listen to admired adult.

    • Choose behaviors that are good family, our nation and us. How can high esteem affect your decision? Can it help you to set a goal?
      To develop high self esteem requires development of total pernality” through reasonable socialization. It implies having a positive image of one, knowing oneself, and being able to manage self. High self- esteem means loving oneslf truly. If you love yourself truly, you never want any body to lead you Into doom or into any act that is capable of destroying your future like, smoking marijuana, rape, prostitution, cultism, exam malpractise and other ills, healthy love of oneslf does not mean that one should be arrogant, immodest or self- centered rather it means doing those things that will earn you self- respect and respect for others and from others.

Having known my strength and my weaknesses an evaluatuon or analyisi of these will help you to determine if i have low or high esteem, when the weakness surpasses the strength, the individual has problem.

    • A good boy or girl should identify the weaknesses and work tirelessly to put it right. When you realize your esteem to a greatervheight.

    • False is anything which not true, unsure, untrue story, untrue messages, false alarm etc. In our society today you can recieved false call, false email and believing to be true and on process you will find out that it is not true, false preachers which are preaching against good doctrine, false religion which are preaching hatred among the peoples, false is evil before and some people are known for this nobody ever believe what they said because they information is always false, anything false is negative, like false jounalism which they word was to case confusion in the socienty.

      • You keep missing the point. These are False Memories. These are things that never happened. You see a crime. The police terrify you. They say; “It was Ade, wasn’t it?” You say yes. Okay. Over time you start to actually believe you saw Ade. You ‘remember’ it well. Then, in Court, you find out, that when the event happened, Ade was in jail. He couldn’t have done it. Yet, you ‘remember’ you are ‘sure’ it was Ade.

    • When you speak very fast or stammer, when you lower voice abnormally, when you talk abnormally, constitute barrier to commication. Most of the youths shout when they talk especially when they are in the classroom, hostels or in a gathering, shouting when is not lady like. Learn to be moderate in all you do and eat. When you shout during conversation or communication you constitute nuisance to the listeners. Some while conversing will dominate and would not allow others contribute or they interrupt others and hence makes the communication meaningless.

    • This implies poor listening skills for extraneous or external reason. A receiver of information should be attentive for you learn better if you are a good listener. Ifbyou are impatient, inattentive, you create barrier in communication. Other barriers include, intrruption of speech, inappropriate expression, inconsistency in sequencing thought, changing the topic irregularly, the way the presenter speakers and illustrate his/her thought may be a barrier to listener. Where therebis noise in the system and so on.

    • When any type of communication is inappropriate, and or poor, people will not be interested in it. It leads to misunderstanding, strife and quarrels, divorce or separation, criticism, lack of appreciation, corruption, deceit, immorality, rudeness, promiscuity, robbery, cultism, drug addiction and others. While we appreciate the positive impact of communication in development, it is apparent to mention the disadvantages especially as it affects the youths. It is through mass media, magazines, newspaper, and television that our youths learn most of the social ills like immoral dressing, robbery, prostitution, nudeness, smoking, shooting, cultism and so many others. The negative impact of communication and its effect should be improved on.

    • There is so many people everything about them is false, they are never tell the truth to anyone, false news, false alarm, false stories this people are all over the places, and they don’t have consience of they do, when you have false person as your or partner just check it out he/she wil always cause problem for you, no body ever admire false stories nor to have those spreed it as a friends, in our society today there is so many false news around us both international news and local news where news reporters are reporting nonsense instead of the real stories they report the opposite. False memories are negative memory

    • My mum.frequently denies events happened when I was a child that I remember quite clearly. One is of my Grandmother pointing to a tram while we were outside the sweet shop and saying it was the last one we would ever see. No way can that have happened as the dates for the event do not tie up at all. I think maybe it was a dream even though to me it felt real.

      It is a big problem if we remember the wrong face for criminals and I am sure more mistakes than we care to admit are made.

      • Exactly. I’ll give you a story. When I was very young, I heard my parents talking, and something about ‘Uncle Max joined the circus’. Now I can, even today, see Uncle Maxie on the trapeze.

        It was later in life I learned that Uncle Maxie had been having an affair, and so as not to alert the children the adults referred to it as “Uncle Maxie went to join the circus.”

    • A good read. In the U.S and other western, the people suffering from such problems is ever increasing. Consequently, the psychotherapists making money out of the innocence of the Patients. But in India and other Asian countries, the need for such treatments is very less. The parents are brought up from the beginning in a good atmosphere of relationships where father mother, sisters, brothers, and other relatives share their feeling with each other, even though such relationships are being damaged due to the influence of western culture.

      Better we do not have the need for such treatments.

You have all said here of their trickery, of their dirty works. I don’t know if you have expressed these things to the admin or the moderators of the said site.

      As far as I can remember when Bubblews was still alive and kicking I had flagged several posts which were plagiarized in form. I cited the original article and then the plagiarized one. As I checked it. That post in question had been removed from the site. And also the member himself was removed from the list or even blocked. Those “Darlings” deserve to be persecuted. If not, a brigade of flaggers would be formed and do justice to those victims. All the works of the Darlings would be also be “flagged”. Let’s see if they could resist it. That is what we call retribuyion.

      • A real writer joins a writing site to write. Not to play games or get involved in admin. Why bother to go on the site and search around to find who flagged you and flag them? Leave it alone.

        In businesses, those that collapse are not good examples for those who don’t want to fail. Successful companies don’t allow certain practices because they want to be successful.

    • Yes, I think the articles that are written in their own words with new literary stile with the help of new and functional words such articles are made online anon. I say surely I have written seven articles for Literacy Base none of my articles was rejected and said plagiarism because i have written thousands of articles in my own language. In the world of internet the articles that are original are accepted quickly.

      • Depending on who/what, if you posted the same things on Hubpages and one of the Darlings was attracted to your writing, your items would be flagged and republished under their names.

    • This is stupid practice. now I know why this page was never favored by people I asked it about.

      • It is ridiculous to have one writer of a site sit as arbiter of another writer. This is why few people will recommend Hubpages…if any recommend them. I have been on the site for nearly ten years and my participation has declined over the years. Of course the Owners wouldn’t notice.

    • My friend kaylar said right do your own business and do not poke into other business is a bad habit. Write for the success of you success and for the success of the site that pays you your labor fruit.My friend worked Hub pages but she earned eight dollars in one year I think a very slow process of earning she said Literacy Base is more better than Hub Pages.

    kaylar wrote a new post, The Repulsive Practice of Wife Bashing 8 years, 1 month ago

    There are men who can testify that they have never been unfaithful to their wives.  That is because they don’t consider demeaning her to another woman’s ears to be adultery.

    They can spend hours attacking […]

    • Unlucky are those who degrade their wives in presence of other women or no women no matter but actually the problem lies in intention spring from greed and jealousy and lust ignoring the nature of all women is the same the world over. Woman is greedy and man is jealous since its creation apart from prophet, holy peoples and sage or philosophers. We can say all men and women have feelings and emotion.

      The clash between man and woman is not of reason but of emotions that lead man an woman in practical field. As we see all the smokers, sinners, drunk and crime makers sits together and help each other because their emotions are the same while man and’s and wife’s emotions becomes different bu both hide their emotions from each other at home and out of home is the main cause of clash between man and wife on earth in all societies.

      • This is a man who is unfaithful to his wife, but unfaithful verbally, not physically. To bash one’s spouse to another is a form of adultery. It is not a complaint, it’s the opening line; “My wife doesn’t understand me…” said by adulterers but not making the next move.

    • What actually we think is this is all due to communication gap. But this is not correct.
      Bashing women in the presence of another is really not acceptable. But one should know that there are ladies who are really worth of such bashing. The number of course is very limited. Even then the degrading ones own wife is not acceptable and unpardonable.

      If she takes up such action what will be the position of husband?

      It is also to be remembered that the more you insult or degrade your wife the more the chances of losing your dearest friends even.

      • Very true. But one should not do this kind of thing. Think of having coffee and attacking your mother, your father, your children…why? Why would you ever tell a stranger these things? You would never do it. So why tell a stranger things about your wife?

        If there are problems there is divorce, separation, why stay with a person if they are so ‘bad?’

        The fact is, there are men who want to be unfaithful but not physically. So they are orally unfaithful.

    • Who is we?

    kaylar wrote a new post, Tricks to Watching Television Series online 8 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve written about this topic before.

    I’ve mentioned the basic difference between ‘story arc’ and ‘episodic’ programs, which is a very key point.

    I’ve also described some of the programmes I have watched […]

    • I normally watch television shows that are no longer on air. I am currently watching Prison Break. It only has four seasons but each season had about 22 episodes. I did hear that a season 5 was in the works and should be out soon. It’s a good series.

      I also watch The Walking Dead. I can watch this series over and over again no matter what season they are on. Season 7 starts October 23. I am ready to see who died in the last episode of season 6.

      A few other series I like to watch is Dexter and Friends. Both of these is something I could watch on a daily basis no matter what. They are both good. Friends make you feel good about yourself and your friends while Dexter shows you how to kill those annoying people and get away with it. Very entertaining.

    • I am enthralled by the British series. I went through Downton Abbey, Merlin, Sherlock, Night Manager, am currently watching Poldark and Foyle’s War and Peaky Blinders. What I like is the way they are virtual novels with virtual chapters.

      As to US series I went through Narco, Burn Notice, House, Breaking Bad, The Americans, and am currently watching Hawaii 50, Suits, Blue Bloods, Quantico, Grey’s Anatomy.

    • I love the British series too..I have watched alot of good seriers–orange black,Prision Break as well–I love it

    kaylar wrote a new post, The Sun is Getting Brighter 8 years, 1 month ago

    Although many people want to create panic with ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’ or whatever is the current term for ‘humans are destroying the Earth!’ It happens to be a scientific fact that our Sun is […]

    • Yes. I do agree that the Sun’s brightness is increasing year by year. Last before year in Hyderabad the temperature during summer was a maximum of 41-42 deg. But the temperature was between 42-46 during the last year. At some places it even touched 47.2 degrees Celsius. People could not come out of their houses.

      The temperature of the Sun is no doubt increases gradually. There is no way to stop it either scientifically or technologically. But the God has provided necessary arrangement for this. He created a layer which stops and filters the amount of radiation reaching the Earth. This we call it as OZONE LAYER.

      Unfortunately, the Ozone layer is becoming thinner and thinner. At some places it is allowing even the maximum radiations from the Sun reaching the Earth. As such the temperatures are felt very high in many places.

      The reason for the depletion of the Ozone layer is mainly due to Atmosphere Pollution.

      The pollution in the atmosphere is actually destroying the Ozone layer. The mankind is aware of this fact. But did nothing for many years. Now they are stressing more on the Pollution Control. Recently the U.S has taken the lead and drafted guidelines in the PARIS CONFERENCE ON CLIMATE CHANGE for pollution control. These guidelines are expected to be followed by the member Nations.

      The Pollution in the atmosphere is expected to be brought down to the minimum by the countries which are contributing to the Atmospheric Pollution by way of their Industrialization. They are expected to minimize the release of Carbon dioxide into the Atmosphere.

      If the countries responsible for most of the Pollution take appropriate steps there is some hope of maintaining the Ozone layer for another 100 years and the humanity can be saved from the wrath of the Sun.

      • One can effect certain human aspects of pollution surely. But regardless of what we do, the sun will get brighter. That’s how stars are. They get brighter and brighter and then get larger and larger and swallow the planets. It takes billions of years, of course, but it is in the life cycle of a star whether there are inhabited planets, uninhabited planets, or no planets.

    • I agree with you.

    • Yes the is becoming brighter day by day with the passage of time but most of the people do not know it they just they today is very heat or today temperature is more. The sun to be brighter day by day is sign of the day of Judgement is drawing near written in all holy books but I think peoples do not read holy books but they are spending time making wrong deed injurious to all human being.

      Men are leading their lives meaning less and without aims just a bark swimming in the sea. This universe is just for human being sake all these elements of this universe are for men but human beings are wasting the treasure of earth in useless work thus we all human being are to destruction knowing what we are doing in life? and have forgotten God who creates us and now give us all blessings to eat. I think we all are thanks less to God. Let us think over it.

      • Don’t see it as a bad thing; it is the life cycle of a star. Humans will be able to travel to Mars in a few generations and so when the Earth is not inhabitable, they will all be on Mars. That is why we have brains and have been given the knowledge and ability. I don’t see it as a judgement, I see it as an emphasis on knowledge.

        That we can understand this in 2016 will mean that by 3016 we will be colonising Mars or another world so that five million years from now when the Earth might be too hot, we will be safe.

    • At the end of the end days, during the Tribulation where all men living on the earth will be judged in wrath, there will be three sets of successively worsening judgments (or four sets, if the Seven Thunders of Revelation 10:1-4 are judgments).

      There will first be the 7 Seal Judgments of Revelation 6, they open the Tribulation. Then the wrath of God is demonstrated through 7 Trumpet Judgments of Revelation 8-9. These are terrible judgments, but by God’s grace, some repent through them. After that there are the 7 Bowl Judgments. Revelation 15 opens with the 7 Bowl Judgments.

      Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. (Revelation 15:1).

      These are the most terrible of all. They are so bad that no one is even allowed in the heavenly throne room sanctuary until they are concluded.

      And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever, 8and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished. (Revelation 16:7-8)

      One of the Bowl judgments God pours on the people of the earth the plague of a hot sun. By this point in the Tribulation, no one is repenting. They know that God is sending His wrath onto the world, but they shake their fist at Him and refuse to repent. By this time, battle lines have been set in eternal stone. In Revelation 13 people either took the mark of the beast and thereby signaling their worship of satan, sealing their doom, (Revelation 14:9-10), or they refused the mark, thereby signaling their worship of the Lamb who lives forever, sealing most to their martyrdom.

      The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. (Revelation 16:8-9).

      God makes the sun hotter, so hot that men will be on fire if they are exposed to it. God is powerful and controls the sun!

      Let us look to a happier time, the Millennial Kingdom. God’s Prophets had much to say about this period in earth’s history, also. The Kingdom will be set up on earth after the Tribulation is over, and the Old Testament saints and Tribulation saints have been resurrected. Those who refused the mark of the beast and lived will populate this kingdom, too. Because they are mortal, they’ll re-populate the earth. It is at this time the resurrected Old Testament saints whom Jesus promised land and an earthly kingdom with Him (the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Messiah) on the throne, will have all their promises fulfilled. This is Israel’s gift.

      In Isaiah 30:23-25 we read that during this time of the Millennium Kingdom,

      And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and bread, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your livestock will graze in large pastures, 24and the oxen and the donkeys that work the ground will eat seasoned fodder, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. 25And on every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

      John MacArthur says of this time:
      In the Messianic Kingdom of that future day, agriculture, cattle raising, food production, and water resources will prosper. The prophet predicted the redemption of nature. (cf. Rom 8:19-21)
      In Isaiah 30:26 we read of further blessings:

      Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord binds up the brokenness of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow.

      The light of the sun will be seven times hotter?

      MacArthur again:
      The benefits from the natural bodies of light will be much greater. Increase of the intensity of their light will work to people’s advantage, not to their detriment as in Revelation 16:8-9.

      In the Millennial Kingdom, a gentle, bright sun seven times
      warmer will flourish the earth’s crops
      When we read that God is sovereign overall creation, He is sovereign. He created the sun. As the Potter, He can make it do what He wills. During the Tribulation, it will be a mechanism for judgment, scorching men, who curse it. In the Millennium, the sun will be a mechanism for prosperity, and men will bless their Creator for giving them plenteous sunshine, healthful, glowing, and beautiful.

      We groan, and cannot wait for redemption of our mortal bodies into glorified vessels worthy of seeing our Holy God. The creation groans too. When the creation is redeemed, it will rejoice also.

      For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. (Romans 8:20-21).

      This is how the creation will be set free. The sun will shine upon peaceable kingdom, over a flourishing agriculture, making men and crops thrive. Our Creator is majestic in power and sovereign over creation. He is to be worshiped, loved, praised. Our Jesus who was with God at the creation and who sustains all creation and without whom nothing was made that was made, is our hope. He is the hope of all creation. Our eternal Hope, who reigns forever.

      • You remember the Garden of Eden; the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Recognise that we have been given the ability to think, to reason, to judge between right and wrong. That we, the people, will be able to survive this hotter sun because we will be given the ability to move to Mars.

        I am sure of it.
