    ## Winds and Environment: The Impact of Change
    Wind is one of Earth's most powerful natural forces, playing a vital role in shaping weather, climate, and ecosystems. It helps distribute heat around the planet, carries seeds and pollen that support plant life, and provides a clean, renewable source of energy through wind power. However, changes in global wind patterns caused by climate change and human activities can lead to stronger storms, prolonged droughts, soil erosion, and the spread of air pollution. By understanding how winds influence our environment, we can make informed decisions to protect natural resources, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable development for future generations.
    ** Key Lesson:** *Winds are essential for maintaining Earth's natural balance, but protecting the environment is crucial to preserving healthy wind patterns and a stable climate.*

  • How muslims are seen by non muslims

    Shimi Tziporim \Writes when I asked him why he un friended so many of my Muslim Friends

    I remove people periodically that I do not engage in conversations with more so, I have been hearing a lot of crazy and hateful things from many Muslims. for each one that speaks with a sane voice there are dozens who say horrible things.
    I see very ignorant things from Muslims all around. Yes, my people say many ignorant things too but it is not the voice of all. I can point to many that seek peace.
    I am beginning to question weather the religion of Islam is really worthy of its name as peace does not seem like a path of many but just of a few.

    Maybe the few are delusional and trying to fit into a modern time where understanding the differences between people is essential and understanding that we do not need to fight because of that. Maybe the few are essentially not real Muslims.
    I dont know, I question everything. I take my hat off to those who stand up and say words of peace but too far in between are the ones who show good intent.

  • Hussain Ali Raza wrote to be this, does anyone has a reply for him ?

    I was just wondering that you have a huge following and good networking skills
    how about you people raise the issue of water crises? there are people dying in sindh due to lack of water and there are people dying due to floods
    if an effective water distribution channel is established this will be very helpful for the people living in such areas and will increase the fertility of land on both the sides hence increasing the output and increasing the revenue
    this equal distribution of water will end the tanker mafia and will increase greenery leading to better rainfalls and better weather.

  • Couldnt stop myself from forwarding this Excellent message ..

    A bus full of passengers was traveling while. suddenly the weather changed and there was a huge downpour and lightening all around.

    They could see that the lightening would appear to come towards the bus and then go elsewhere.

    After 2 or 3 horrible instances of being saved from lightening, the driver stopped the bus about fifty feet away from a tree and said -

    "We have somebody in the bus whose death is a certainty today."

    Because of that person everybody else will also get killed today.

    Now listen carefully what I am saying ..

    I want each person to come out of bus one by one and touch the tree trunk and come back.

    Whom so ever death is certain will get caught up by the lightening and will die & everybody else will be saved".

    They had to force the 1st person to go and touch the tree and come back.

    He reluctantly got down from the bus and went and touched the tree.

    His heart leaped with joy when nothing happened and he was still alive.

    This continued for rest of the passengers who were all relieved when they touched the tree and nothing happened.

    When the last passengers turn came, everybody looked at him with accusing eyes.

    That passenger was very afraid and reluctant since he was the only one left.

    Everybody forced him to get down and go and touch the tree.

    With a 100% fear of death in mind, the last passenger walked to the tree and touched it.

    There was a huge sound of thunder and the lightening came down and hit the bus - yes the lightening hit the bus, and killed each and every passenger inside the bus.

    It was because of the presence of this last passenger that, earlier,the entire bus was safe and the lightening could not strike the bus.

    LIFE LEARNING from this..

    At times, we try to take credit for our present achievements, but this could also be because of a person right next to us.

    Look around you - Probably someone is there around you, in the form of Your Parents, Your Spouse, Your Children, Your Siblings, Your friends, etc, who are saving you from harm..!

    Think About it..

    You will surely find that Person..!!
    Beautiful Lines

    Alone I can Say but
    together we can talk.

    Alone I can Enjoy but
    together we can
    Celebrate.

    Alone I can Smile but
    together we can Laugh.

    Thats the BEAUTY of
    Human Relations.

    We are nothing without
    each other

  • Oh, the Places Youll Go!

    by

    Dr. Seuss

    Congratulations!
    Today is your day.
    Youre off to Great Places!
    Youre off and away!

    You have brains in your head.
    You have feet in your shoes.
    You can steer yourself
    any direction you choose.
    Youre on your own. And you know what you know.
    And YOU are the guy wholl decide where to go.

    Youll look up and down streets. Look em over with care.
    About some you will say, "I dont choose to go there."
    With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
    youre too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

    And you may not find any
    youll want to go down.
    In that case, of course,
    youll head straight out of town.

    Its opener there
    in the wide open air.

    Out there things can happen
    and frequently do
    to people as brainy
    and footsy as you.

    And then things start to happen,
    dont worry. Dont stew.
    Just go right along.
    Youll start happening too.

    OH!
    THE PLACES YOULL GO!

    Youll be on y our way up!
    Youll be seeing great sights!
    Youll join the high fliers
    who soar to high heights.

    You wont lag behind, because youll have the speed.
    Youll pass the whole gang and youll soon take the lead.
    Wherever you fly, youll be best of the best.
    Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

    Except when you dont.
    Because, sometimes, you wont.

    Im sorry to say so
    but, sadly, its true
    that Bang-ups
    and Hang-ups
    can happen to you.

    You can get all hung up
    in a prickle-ly perch.
    And your gang will fly on.
    Youll be left in a Lurch.

    Youll come down from the Lurch
    with an unpleasant bump.
    And the chances are, then,
    that youll be in a Slump.

    And when youre in a Slump,
    youre not in for much fun.
    Un-slumping yourself
    is not easily done.

    You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
    Some windows are lighted. But mostly theyre darked.
    A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
    Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
    How much can you lose? How much can you win?

    And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...
    or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
    Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
    Simple its not, Im afraid you will find,
    for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

    You can get so confused
    that youll start in to race
    down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
    and grind on for miles cross weirdish wild space,
    headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
    The Waiting Place...

    ...for people just waiting.
    Waiting for a train to go
    or a bus to come, or a plane to go
    or the mail to come, or the rain to go
    or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
    or the waiting around for a Yes or No
    or waiting for their hair to grow.
    Everyone is just waiting.

    Waiting for the fish to bite
    or waiting for the wind to fly a kite
    or waiting around for Friday night
    or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
    or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
    or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
    or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
    Everyone is just waiting.

    NO!
    Thats not for you!

    Somehow youll escape
    all that waiting and staying
    Youll find the bright places
    where Boom Bands are playing.

    With banner flip-flapping,
    once more youll ride high!
    Ready for anything under the sky.
    Ready because youre that kind of a guy!

    Oh, the places youll go! There is fun to be done!
    There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.
    And the magical things you can do with that ball
    will make you the winning-est winner of all.
    Fame! Youll be as famous as famous can be,
    with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

    Except when they dont
    Because, sometimes they wont.

    Im afraid that some times
    youll play lonely games too.
    Games you cant win
    cause youll play against you.

    All Alone!
    Whether you like it or not,
    Alone will be something
    youll be quite a lot.

    And when youre alone, theres a very good chance
    youll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
    There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
    that can scare you so much you wont want to go on.

    But on you will go
    though the weather be foul.
    On you will go
    though your enemies prowl.
    On you will go
    though the Hakken-Kraks howl.
    Onward up many
    a frightening creek,
    though your arms may get sore
    and your sneakers may leak.

    On and on you will hike,
    And I know youll hike far
    and face up to your problems
    whatever they are.

    Youll get mixed up, of course,
    as you already know.
    Youll get mixed up
    with many strange birds as you go.
    So be sure when you step.
    Step with care and great tact
    and remember that Lifes
    a Great Balancing Act.
    Just never foget to be dexterous and deft.
    And never mix up your right foot with your left.

    And will you succeed?
    Yes! You will, indeed!
    (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

    KID, YOULL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

    So...
    be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
    or Mordecai Ali Van Allen OShea,
    Youre off the Great Places!
    Today is your day!
    Your mountain is waiting.
    So...get on your way!

  • Portugal VISA process
    Obtaining residency in a foreign country can be one of the most important benefits of buying real estate abroad.

    I write frequently about obtaining residency through property purchase, and the examples of good programs are almost always in Latin America.

    Now its Europes turn... specifically, Portugal, which is offering a Golden Visa program targeting the foreign investor and property buyer.

    For the average buyer with no family connections in Europe, its the best European residency program that I know of right now.

    Heres why the Portuguese Golden Visa program is so valuable today:

    First and foremost, Portugal is a great place to live, so the chance to obtain residency in the country is naturally attractive. The Portuguese claim to have the best beaches in Europe. The country also offers moderate weather year-round and an abundance of sunshine.

    To top it off, the U.S. dollar continues relatively strong against the euro, making the idea of buying property here even more interesting to the U.S. dollar-holder.

    Finally, when you become a resident of Portugal you have access to all 26 European countries in the Schengen area. Signed in 1985, the Schengen Agreement predated the European Union and created a "borderless" zone to allow visa-free travel among the signatory countries.

    When you obtain a visa under Portugals Golden Visa program, you become eligible for permanent residency after five years and for Portuguese citizenship after six. As an additional benefit, the Golden Visa program allows you to include family members.

    When I started researching this essay, I found plenty of misinformation online. The majority of the blog posts out there were mostly right at one time, but few of them were updated to reflect all subsequent changes to Portugals immigration law since the Golden Visa program was introduced in 2007.

    You have about 10 options for obtaining an investors visa in Portugal under the Golden Visa program. These vary from million-euro bank transfers or the creation of 10 jobs to investing in artistic or cultural activities or a new business.

    My beat is real estate, so Id like to focus on ways you can obtain residency in Portugal by buying property in the country. Lets walk through each alternative…

    1: Transfer a million euros to Portugal

    This is not a property purchase, per se. The reason I mention this option is that the million-euro transfer is unrestricted, with no caveats on how you spend it. This option could be good for someone who wants to buy one or more properties, perhaps make some other kind of investment, and maybe save some of the transferred funds for future living expenses.

    2: Spend 500,000 euros on any property

    You can buy a property of any type anywhere in the country costing 500,000 euros (right now, thats about US$575,000) or more.

    3: Spend 400,000 euros on any property in a low-density or depressed area

    If you buy in a low-density population area (i.e., in the countryside) or an economically depressed area, then the minimum unrestricted investment above is 20% less, or 400,000 euros (about US$460,000).

    4: Spend 350,000 euros on an older property or in a "rehabilitation" zone

    This threshold applies in two cases:
    Properties over 30 years old or...
    Properties in areas that the government has targeted for rehabilitation or gentrification. More on this later...
    5: Spend 280,000 euros on an older property or in a "rehabilitation" zone thats in a low-density or
    depressed area

    This 350k-euro threshold above is lower if you buy in a low-density population area or an economically depressed area. In these cases the minimum is 20% less, or 280,000 euros (US$320,000).

    Rehabilitation costs are included towards your minimum with this visa option. So your 350k euros (or 280k euros) can be the sum of the purchase price and the cost of fixing up the property.

    The qualifying property can be jointly owned provided the applicant contributed the minimum investment. Also, the property can be owned by a one-person structure, such as an LLC.

    Following are the general requirements when applying for any type of residency visa in Portugal.

    In addition to your passport and a visa application, you must do the following:
    Prove that youve made your chosen investment
    Be in Portugal legally
    Show that you are covered by health insurance
    Provide an affidavit saying that you promise to comply with the ongoing terms of the visa. These include a requirement to:
    Keep the investment five years
    Stay in Portugal 7 days for the first year, and 14 days for each subsequent 2-year period
    Prove that you have a clean criminal record in Portugal and your country of origin
    Obtain certification from the Portuguese tax authority and social security system that you dont owe them any money
    Before applying for a visa, you must create an online account and pre-register so that you can submit the remaining documents online. If youre managing the process yourself, register here... if youre using a lawyer or personal representative, have them register here.

    When youre ready you can download the visa application here.

    The visa that really holds my interest is the 350k-/280k-euro minimum investment, because theres opportunity there.

    To qualify, you can buy a property thats more than 30 years old, or you can buy in a designated urban rehabilitation area (called an área de reabilitação urbana, or ARU).

    Either way, youre probably adding value to a place that needs some work. (At least thats the idea... not every 30-year-old home will need work.) And if youre adding value through restoration, you stand to make a nice gain.

    But in a rehabilitation area (ARU) youll do even better, because not only are you adding value to your property, but the government is also incentivizing your neighborhoods rehabilitation.

    This multiplies the power of your visa investment.

    What surprised me is that even the popular Algarve coast has designated ARUs, including in places like Faros historic district. Follow this link to have a look at Portugals ARUs.

    If you want to open the door to Europe, this is a great opportunity.

    Granted, the investment threshold in Europe is a lot higher than you can get away with in Latin America. An investment of 280k euros is still a lot of money.

    But if youre bound for Europe—and you want a chance to profit while obtaining residency—then the Golden Visa program may be just right for you.

    Portugal 🇵🇹 VISA process Obtaining residency in a foreign country can be one of the most important benefits of buying real estate abroad. I write frequently about obtaining residency through property purchase, and the examples of good programs are almost always in Latin America. Now it's Europe's turn... specifically, Portugal, which is offering a Golden Visa program targeting the foreign investor and property buyer. For the average buyer with no family connections in Europe, it's the best European residency program that I know of right now. Here's why the Portuguese Golden Visa program is so valuable today: First and foremost, Portugal is a great place to live, so the chance to obtain residency in the country is naturally attractive. The Portuguese claim to have the best beaches in Europe. The country also offers moderate weather year-round and an abundance of sunshine. To top it off, the U.S. dollar continues relatively strong against the euro, making the idea of buying property here even more interesting to the U.S. dollar-holder. Finally, when you become a resident of Portugal you have access to all 26 European countries in the Schengen area. Signed in 1985, the Schengen Agreement predated the European Union and created a "borderless" zone to allow visa-free travel among the signatory countries. When you obtain a visa under Portugal's Golden Visa program, you become eligible for permanent residency after five years and for Portuguese citizenship after six. As an additional benefit, the Golden Visa program allows you to include family members. When I started researching this essay, I found plenty of misinformation online. The majority of the blog posts out there were mostly right at one time, but few of them were updated to reflect all subsequent changes to Portugal's immigration law since the Golden Visa program was introduced in 2007. You have about 10 options for obtaining an investor's visa in Portugal under the Golden Visa program. These vary from million-euro bank transfers or the creation of 10 jobs to investing in artistic or cultural activities or a new business. My beat is real estate, so I'd like to focus on ways you can obtain residency in Portugal by buying property in the country. Let's walk through each alternative… 1: Transfer a million euros to Portugal This is not a property purchase, per se. The reason I mention this option is that the million-euro transfer is unrestricted, with no caveats on how you spend it. This option could be good for someone who wants to buy one or more properties, perhaps make some other kind of investment, and maybe save some of the transferred funds for future living expenses. 2: Spend 500,000 euros on any property You can buy a property of any type anywhere in the country costing 500,000 euros (right now, that's about US$575,000) or more. 3: Spend 400,000 euros on any property in a low-density or depressed area If you buy in a low-density population area (i.e., in the countryside) or an economically depressed area, then the minimum unrestricted investment above is 20% less, or 400,000 euros (about US$460,000). 4: Spend 350,000 euros on an older property or in a "rehabilitation" zone This threshold applies in two cases: Properties over 30 years old or... Properties in areas that the government has targeted for rehabilitation or gentrification. More on this later... 5: Spend 280,000 euros on an older property or in a "rehabilitation" zone that's in a low-density or depressed area This 350k-euro threshold above is lower if you buy in a low-density population area or an economically depressed area. In these cases the minimum is 20% less, or 280,000 euros (US$320,000). Rehabilitation costs are included towards your minimum with this visa option. So your 350k euros (or 280k euros) can be the sum of the purchase price and the cost of fixing up the property. The qualifying property can be jointly owned provided the applicant contributed the minimum investment. Also, the property can be owned by a one-person structure, such as an LLC.
