Immortal Mortals
This is an interesting collection of nine short stories which contain a variety of themes and situations. The first story is the New Year Guardian and helps to think about Guardian Angels. Immortal Mortals is about the story of a roadside artist and a librarian and how life can change one stroke at a time. There is a small collection of Christmas stories each having a little hint of the Spirit of Christmas in our lives. The Last Hunter and The Rebel and the Princess of Kashmir are set in Colonial British India. This is a period I like to read and write about, having grown up in India and belonging to the Anglo-Indian community. Anglo-Indians are the only minority Indian community in India of British Indian origins, who have English as their Mother tongue and who are Christians. The collection ends with the Christmas Time Traveller, where the magic of Christmas goes time travelling.

interesting research. Men who consume antioxidant-rich foods like carrots, sweet potatoes and mangos have healthier sperm, which can help their baby-making abilities, according to the latest research out of the University
ofWestern Australia.

Polar Bears on the Decline
From 1981 through 1998, the condition of adult male and female polar bears has
declined significantly in western Hudson Bay, as have natality and the
proportion of yearling cubs caught during the open water period that were
independent at the time of capture. Over this same period, the breakup of the
sea ice on western Hudson Bay has been
occurring earlier. There was a significant positive relationship between the
time of breakup and the condition of adult females (i.e., the earlier the
breakup, the poorer the condition of the bears). The trend toward earlier
breakup was also correlated with rising spring air temperatures over the study
area from 1950 to 1990. We suggest that the proximate cause of the decline in
physical and reproductive parameters of polar bears in western Hudson Bay over the last 19 years has been a trend toward earlier breakup, which has caused the bears to come ashore in progressively poorer condition. The ultimate factor responsible for the earlier breakup in western Hudson Bay appears to be a long-term
warming trend in April–June atmospheric temperatures.

Green Prison
Environmentally friendly prisons. Liberals think they're a
no-brainer, right-wingers might view them as just another hand in the public
purse. Do the world's incarcerated now have a responsibility to save the
planet?

Kipling the Ecologist
Rudyard Kipling wrote a number of stories with nature as a
backdrop. His two famous novels are Jungle Book and Kim. Visit this Squidoo
lens and decide for yourself if the great story-teller Rudyard Kipling who grew
up in India was an avid ecologist and environmentalist. In my opinion Kipling loved nature and gave nature a voice through his powerful stories, which have stood the test
of time.

Robin Hood the Eco-Warrior

Global Warming
Global warming is being increased as the natural shields of
the Earth are getting weakened gradually.
Rising Flood Risk for theUK
The UK is facing a rising flood risk and the warning signs are being ignored. The UK could be increasingly vulnerable to expected climate impacts including more floods,
heat-waves and droughts, because the risks are not being taken fully into
account in decisions on areas such as planning and water supplies
