This is a heart-warming story of the recovery of a Green Sea Turtle horribly mutilated by a shark attack. The turtle was rescued by Sea Turtle Inc although at the time, she was not believed to have a great chance of pulling through.

Sea Turtle Inc nicknamed the turtle Allison. She only had one flipper which according to rescuers can be a very difficult thing to overcome for turtles. Without the speed and propulsion of their flippers, turtles would struggle to come up to the surface to get air. Typically, turtles with three flippers can learn to cope and be released back into the sea, and turtles with two flippers can be taken in by zoos. For a turtle to live with only one flipper, the chances of survival are drastically decreased. (more…)

A Giant Panda in the Beijing Zoo has attacked a man who entered his pen. Gu Gu weighs a large 108 kilograms and has a reputation for attacking tourists. The latest attack is the third since 2006 as Gu Gu does not like people entering his abode. The victim was a man who climbed over the enclosing in order to retrieve his child’s toy.  Gu Gu quickly showed him who the boss was by grabbing on to his leg and refusing to let go. Zoo attendants had to use force to pry the panda’s jaws open and let the man free. He is said to be recovering from surgery after damage to his ligaments, and police are unsure whether he will be facing charges. (more…)

Environmental problems are becoming a big issue in today’s life around the world; so is the case in the USA. Recent opinion polls show that the common people of this country are quite concerned about clean air, water and land. This is a new phenomenon recenlty developed among the Americans. Historically the cities of USA were faraway from nature and there were lots of other hindrance too. But as the time moved on, grass route organizations sprung up to safeguard the natural resources and protect wildlife.

But the real revolution in the environmental world of the country took when the first Earth day was observed. In the same year, Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) was also established. The primary objective of EPA was to protect the human health and environment and preserve the environment as much as possible for the future generation. Besides this regulatory body, there are other certain key laws, which were passed e.g. National Environmental Policy Act, which assists to keep the nature clean in general; Clean Air Act to control the air emission, The safe drinking Water Act to control the quality of drinking water. The Clean Water Act helps to keep the water clean and The Oil Pollution Act was established to strengthen EPA’s ability to prevent and respond to catastrophic oil spills.

Similarly there are certain other laws, which were also passed with distinctive objective to protect the resources of the nature. All these steps gave the country a new life and also presented the future generation with a promise of a far better environment.

There has been an agreement between the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) and Emery County to deal with the lease and sell of school trust lands measuring around 2,500 acres by the Emery County. This beautiful piece of land is just located west of the Green River and there is a proposed plan of turning itself into a Green River Industrial Park in the near future.

The first right to buy an area of 1,600 acres of industrial park by Transition Power Development was given by Emery County Commissioner. The said Commission has also plans to sell 640 acres of land to Bluerock Resources, LLC, a Canadian firm for the purpose of building uranium mill. The 90% of the areas of the industrial park is now dedicated either for the nuclear reactors or uranuium plants. The Emery County and the Transition Power Development has entered into such a contract that the Emery County will not be allowed to sell the other parts of the land to any third party, even if then third party offers more money than the Bluerock Resources.

As the deal between the Emery County Commissioner and SITLA has been finalized along with Transition Power Development and Bluerock Resources; the role of the County Commissioner is almost over now. The Transition Power Development needs approval from the Emery County to sale and rezone the land. The Government Regulators at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will soon decide the fate of the nuclear project.

It is well known news today that Barrack Obama is the President of USA and more importantly he is a “Black President” in the White House. He is representing the Democrats and became the President after defeating Hillary Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton. Obama is very popular from the beginning especially among the blacks and also among the American youth. But if you think that he has won the election only because of his skin color, then it will be unfair on him. In every sense he has been able to show a new dream to his countrymen, which give them a new hope to build a better future. That is most probably the main reason why he is the President at the moment.

USA is currently going through a terrible economic crisis in the world due to the effect of economic recession. From the very beginning Obama have been saying that he will manage the situation and he will bring his country out from the difficult times. Through his speech and Pre-election campaigns, he became the symbol of hope & optimism. Finally when the day came for, which the whole of America was waiting; and Obama became the President. The whole nation celebrated the victory and there was a smile of joy and satisfaction, which was found on the faces of the general Americans. He received best wishes for his tenure from all over the world. Now it is only the time, which can tell whether the people of USA have chosen the right leader for them or not.
