Useful information from Lord Thompson Manor
It is possible to capture a glimpse into the future when we look into the faces of children. The environment in which children live is nurturing this world’s future generations. Adults today have to ask themselves the question - is our environment shaping children into become caring, productive, and globally aware citizens?
Are the wealthy countries really doing enough for the children worldwide? Are the governments of the poorer countries doing enough for their children? Are there better ways to provide support and assistance, particularly for those children with mental and physical disabilities lacking in social safety nets?
There is a huge need for funding support for children in need in impoverished areas of the world, regardless of class, ethnicity, culture, religion or nationality. There are many definitions of special needs. In the “well off” countries of the Western world such as Canada, the United States, England or Australia, a special needs child might be autistic, have physical limitations, suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome, be a victim of sexual abuse, or face other challenges. In the “global south” (otherwise known as the ‘Third World’), such as many parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America, you can add the horrors of malnutrition, homelessness, sexual slavery and sweat shop laboring to these children’s lives. Many of these children are without parents due to civil wars, HIV/AIDS, or were just abandoned by their parents. Most face threats to their basic human rights and live in squalor and fear.
The destiny of all countries and all people on our planet Earth depend on the support, care, development and safety of children. When we attend to the physical, intellectual, and moral growth of our children, we give them the skills, values, opportunities, and confidence necessary to succeed as adults, earners, parents, citizens, and leaders.
There are many children’s foundations in the world today. Some focus on reducing the misery of poverty and hunger. Others address the gaps in education, health care, and shelter that many children face. All are doing their part to provide help and assistance to needy children. Sadly however, there are always more needy children than there are helping hands. There is every reason to believe that many of the needy children in the poorest countries will not live to reach adulthood. Many of these children have physical disabilities, giving them a zero chance of survival in environments suited only for the survival of the fittest.
In Western countries, we take for granted that our governments will provide adequate health services as well as wheelchair ramps, handrails and accessible public transport. For most Westerners, the ready availability of equipment such as crutches and wheelchairs, low entry buses and taxicabs are taken for granted.

How to Take the First Step to Fight Global Hunger
Submitted by: Lord Thompson Manor
By Kim Petit
It is easy to believe that technology has helped everyone. We live such comfortable lives, after all. We really benefit from an almost remarkable level of abundance and convenience. Even middle and working class people tend to have plenty to eat, good sources of transportation, and a wide variety of recreational activities that are not available in a lot of the world. We work longer hours than we used to, but we still do have plenty of recreation time to unwind.
Once you look at world hunger statistics, however, it becomes clear that all is not so rosy . In much of the world, poverty is a daily reality. Even hunger in America is a problem. This was shocking to me the first time I learned this. I had a teacher who had us study world hunger. He wanted us to be aware not only of our neighborhood, our state, and our country, but of our entire extended world community. Before he showed us an article, he asked what we thought about world hunger statistics. I was confident in my reply. I told him that, except for a few isolated areas, I believed that we had wiped out hunger and poverty in the world. Boy, was I in for a shock when I read the world hunger statistics!
The really scary thing was how easily I slipped back into a state of everything as usual, even after I was alerted to the reality of world hunger statistics. We like to think that we care about our fellow man, but when we look at our actions on the whole, it is quite clear that we don’t. It is so easy to forget about world poverty statistics, to go on living a life of affluence as if nothing is wrong. I am as guilty as anyone.
A few years later, however, I became so frustrated with my own apathy that I knew that the time for action was at hand. I decided to join a group to end world hunger. A friend of mine laughed at my naïve idealism. He also was familiar with the world hunger statistics, and he argued that it would not be as easy as I thought to end poverty. He knew that economic factors were complex, and felt that there was no easy solution.
I realize his arguments are valid, but I think it is even more important to realize that the world hunger statistics demand immediate action by all of us. If everyone was dedicated to ending world hunger, a solution could be found!

Poverty - The Scourge of Africa
By: Alan Hawkins
The most probable reason poverty exists, is insufficient work opportunities in combination with a lack of basic education and skills training, or is it?
In Africa, drought is labled as the most common cause of poverty, assisted often by a war here and there, a touch of genocide or the self enrichment of a political dictator and his merry men. Poverty is the scourge of Africa, it knows no boundaries and to quote Mr Jacob Zuma, it knows no colour.
During a recent television report it was stated that five children per day die in South Africa from malnutrition and that the incidence of abandoned babies has increased by one-third, shocking statistics from one of the wealthiest economies in Africa, one can only imagine the true extent of this problem.
Poverty cannot be categorised as another legacy of apartheid and simply swept under the carpet, it is not unique to those countries with a history of racism or other human rights atrocities. Poverty is a human catastrophe and growing, the upward trend of food and power prices, the implications of both global warming and the increase in the price of oil are all factors ensuring this trend remains.
The question is whether poverty is an unavoidable phenomenon or is it an unintentional creation of society. Our leaders talk glibly of job creation, particularly during election speeches, often seen cutting ribbon in front of the cameras at some local self-help project, this is not nearly enough to reverse a trend.
Go back a few years to the cement and brick industries and you will recall hundreds and thousands of workers on building sites throughout the country, loading cement and throwing bricks around manually, this whole workforce has been replaced by automatic palletisation systems. The motor industry and many employment sectors have become more and more automated. I know a farmer who, after being absolutely frustrated by theft and continual difficulties with his labour force, has installed as many automated systems as he is able in order to reduce his reliance on physical labour. On the sports field, a few years ago unskilled and uneducated labour was used as caddies or bag carriers, these employment opportunities have been substantially reduced in most cases and replaced by pull-carts and golf cars with some golf courses banning caddies from their environs completely.
The above mentioned employment sectors were largely forced to reduce employment opportunities as a result of either efficiency or economic factors, in simple terms labour became either too expensive with cheaper and more productive alternatives. It would be dangerous to hazard a guess at the number of jobs lost to the population as a result. When this situation is considered in parallel with the lower cost of production in some of our supplier countries, China and our textile industry as an example, we have mounting evidence to support the probability that poverty is exacerbated by our own actions, including the action of those first to complain about being unemployed.
To the unemployable masses in Africa, the core lack of education and skills development must surely contribute significantly to a poor economic environment and the resultant lack of employment opportunity. Until the standard of educational opportunity is addressed significantly, this situation will compound itself in perpetuity, as appears to be the case.
Is this avoidable, the answer must surely be yes. An immediate short term solution comes with obvious difficulties, the catch-22 position where to fund schools and qualified teachers an economy needs to be in good condition, a difficult state to reach in the midst of problems of poverty. The long term solution must however be addressed urgently by our leader group, politicians, church and traditional leaders. It is their bounden duty, even though only in office for a short while, to publicly commit to immediately addressing this issue with a long term objective. The effect of fraud, poor administrative and financial practice by our leaders in public office, if quantified and re-presented as the number of teacher appointments that this mismanagement could have funded, would be frightening.
Considering the problem from a job creation viewpoint, the labour leaders and organisations need to re-look their relationship with industry, strive to develop an atmosphere of consultancy and cooperation, rather than confrontation and demand. Job creation, even at the risk of lower wages, must remain high on any negotiation agenda; this needs the support of Government in all aspects, including reducing administrative employee related requirements for small business.
Poverty relief through improvements in the education infrastructure is not someone else’s problem, it is ours as responsible persons who supposedly care for the future of Africa, consider this next time you elect the person to represent your ward.
The alleviation of poverty will undoubtedly have immediate social benefits to all South Africans, the improvement of our economy, less financial commitment to hand-outs, a reduction in the crime rate. Our generation, in South Africa and also the wealthier countries, need to take immediate meaningful action to reverse the trend.

Poverty from Lord Thompson Manor
By: Michael A. Verdicchio
The cause of poverty is not a lack of money. Does that statement shock you? It’s true. A lack of money may be an effect of poverty, but it is not the cause of poverty.
The cause of poverty is poverty thinking. Poverty comes from poverty beliefs and poverty attitudes; it comes from a poverty mindset.
Here’s another statement that might shake you. Not having money does not mean you’re impoverished. Let me explain. Suppose your checkbook gets all the way to zero. You are flat broke now. But, being flat broke now does not mean that you will be flat broke permanently. It absolutely does not guarantee that you will forever stay flat broke.
There are countless millionaires who at one time or another were flat broke. Why didn’t they stay flat broke? Some have even confessed going broke a number of times. A lack of money is not the issue. What’s in your mind is the issue.
Have you ever asked someone who is indeed in poverty why they are in that state? They will tell you exactly why. They will give you one poverty-minded statement after another. They will point out every lack that they have. They come from a poor family. They lack education. Good jobs are hard to come by these days. The price of everything today is too high. They never get a decent break like a lot of people do. The government doesn’t really care about them enough.
They have ingrained these thoughts into their minds and hearts. They have allowed that kind of thinking to actually take root in their heart, and become their belief system.
What we choose to believe is what we will manifest in our lives. This universal law works with accuracy and precision no matter who the person is and no matter what the circumstances are.
I have visited a number of foreign countries. It is just amazing to me how anyone in the United States can stay in poverty. There is so much wealth, abundance and opportunity in the United States that it staggers the mind.
Now just above the poverty line there are those who are just struggling to get by. Many of them are working very hard to make ends meet each month. Some work two and three jobs. They are labeled as the “lower middle class.” They may put forth a great effort, but they still seem to get nowhere except just above the poverty line. They will stay there because that’s what they choose to believe.
Life is not just luck or fate. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Are we to believe that some people are just blessed with a better life than others? Does the Creator show more favor on some but less on others? No!
Once you identify and accept that you are in a certain category in life and you really believe that in your heart, that is where you will stay. It really makes no difference where you are today. Whether you qualify as in poverty, just above poverty, lower middle class or middle class, none of those descriptions really mean anything unless you continue to accept them as true for your life.
The point is, where you are today is a result of your own belief system. Wherever you are today in life is a direct result of what you have decided to believe.
If you can accept that truth, you can change your circumstances because you recognize what very few ever recognize. The power to change your life is in your brain. The thoughts that you consistently entertain will form your own personal belief system.
Change your life and your circumstances by changing your thoughts, hour by hour and day by day. Fill your mind with thoughts of where you want to go, not where you are today.
You may not be in poverty, but, are you where you really desire to be in your life? If not, why not? Do you need to change your thoughts to form a new belief system?
Get honest with yourself and really examine your thoughts. A good indication of your thoughts is what comes out of your mouth.
You can change your life and your circumstance by changing your belief system. And you can change your belief system by changing your thinking, one thought at a time.

Extreme Poverty And Hunger - Measuring Its Devastating Effects On Africans
By Azeez Olawale-Arish Yusuff
Unlike the developed Economies, African economy continues to record tremendous growth in their Gross Domestic Products, Foreign Direct Investments, Per Capital Incomes, Foreign Reserves and Surplus Balance of Payment Accounts. Nigerian Economy is a typical example.
Yes, Nigerian Economy has recorded fantastic economic growth and development in the last few years. No doubt, it is a place where investment grows exponentially, huge market for developed, developing and under-developed economies, despite the negative reports about the country in the western media and her World ranking(108 in the world).
According to The Punch Newspaper, May 13, 2008, the Secretary General, International Telecommunications Union, Dr. Hamadoun Toure, in Cairo, Egypt noted that contrary to what many people think about the country, Foreign Direct Investments had the potential to achieve great return in the country, particularly in the Telecommunication, Information Technology fields. He also advised the global investors in attendance of Nigerian Investors Forum at the International Telecommunication Union TELECOM AFRICA, to discountenance negative reports about the country in the western media, stating that most of them were meant to deceive investors from making profit from the fastest growing telecoms market in Africa. He submits,
“If there are security problems in Nigeria, no businessman would go to the country to explore opportunities, companies like Celtel, MTN, Etisalat, would not have ventured into security risk country to do business. Those who spread rumours about security and corruption problems in Nigeria are saying so to stop others from making money in the country. Figures don’t lie. They are the biggest testimonies for how conducive Nigeria’s environment for business and opportunities are. If you want to do business in Africa and record good returns on your investment, I welcome you to come to Nigeria. The political environment in Africa, particularly in Nigeria is tremendous”.
In the same vain, the Head of Research, Africa and the Middle East, International Consilium, Mr. Gordon Smith described Nigeria as the most dynamic market in Africa. He said that Nigeria was still under severe pressure from some countries in Africa to serve as a cushion against the effects of global turbulence. He also noted that some countries like Ghana, Malawi, Mauritius, among others were depending on Nigeria at the moment due to global risk exposure and that the country’s economy, led by the consolidated banks, was far from being affected by the global credit crisis currently rocking the world’s financial giants.
According to him, foreign investors, who will be patient enough to weigh the Nigerian financial system on the credit risk perspective relative to global events, will find the nation’s financial sector more interesting to invest and raise capital from. He posits:
“What is happening currently with the Nigerian financial system is far from being affected in any way by the global credit crisis. At global level currently, the banks are under-capitalised, but Nigerian banks are over-capitalised. And I do not think this is a problem at all. I believe that Nigerian banks are under pressure from other economies within Africa continent that are affected by the credit challenges”, the Punch Newspaper, June 30th, 2008 reported.”
Despite these laudable achievements and developments, it is sad to say that millions of Nigerians are still living in extreme poverty and hunger. It is also worth-noting that the country is presently witnessing series of strikes, high unemployment rate,decayed infrastructures and so on. To substantiate my point, I will quickly submit the Economic Commission on Africa’s Annual report which posit,
“African economies continued to sustain the growth momentum of previous years, recording an overall real GDP growth rate of 5.8 per cent in 2007. Although 30 countries recorded higher economic growth rate in 2007 than in2006….., economic growth recovery in Africa has not yet translated into meaningful social development and has not benefited vulnerable groups”
Instead of designing people-oriented programmes that will generate jobs for their teeming population, translate into other economic benefits and improve the lives of people with their excess foreign reserves, the African government, most especially Nigeria, are busy collecting loans, grants and other forms of credits for misappropriation and embezzlement, all in the names of community-based projects, poverty alleviation and National Economic Empowerment Development Strategies. The truth is that, Nigerian governments have succeeded in aggravating poverty instead of alleviating it. I would like you to challenge me by visiting Nigeria to see how extreme poverty and hunger is comfortably living in almost every home.
In support of my argument, I will like to refer to the Punch Newspaper, March 2,2008, in an article titled “Impact of FDI on lives of Nigerians. Mr. Oscaline Onwuemenyi wrote:
“But all the sustained growth has done little to improve the living condition of most Nigerians. About half of the population is still living on US $1 a day or less and the distribution of wealth remains unequal and exclusive. Experts say the challenges for the administration of President Umar Musa Yar’Adua will be to translate the improvement in the economy into jobs and higher general living standards.”
I must confess at this junction that my intention is not to portray Nigerian government as a total failure, but to represent objectively the real situations every Nigerian is facing. However, it is worth-mentioning that the Nigerian situation is a good example of what is obtainable elsewhere in Africa.
Thus, I will suggest that African government and leaders should diversify the economy by using their excess reserves to develop other sectors, create jobs and establish community-based projects that will have evidenced impact on the lives of the vulnerable groups.
Besides, the government should stop collecting loans and other forms of credits that will endanger the lives of people, generations yet unborn and the economy at large.

Success And Poverty
Posted by: Lord Thompson Manor
By Michael Oksa
Poverty, in the sense of poorness, comes in many forms. Some are quite specific to geography, occupation, spirituality, or even recreation, to name a few. On the other hand, some forms of poverty are more general. Identifying your current state of ‘wealth’ or ‘poverty’ in these areas is a vital step to success. In other words, knowing where you are will help you determine how much you have to do.
What are these three areas that make up this poverty triangle? It has been said that people are either time poor, people poor, or money poor. That statement has enough merit to look at each of the three.
Time Poor
Everybody is allotted the exact same amount of time every day. People only differ in what they do with that time. Where many tend to go wrong in this area is in over-estimating how much time is left to complete something, and under-estimating how long it will take. It’s a common mistake. How would you rate yourself?
One way to overcome this time deficit is to develop the habit of being on time, or even early when possible. Of course, being early can mean waiting longer for someone else. You can combat this down-time by having something to work on; catching up on reading, writing down ideas, or making a few phone calls. If you are lacking in this area, start developing the habit of promptness.
People Poor
Family and friends are supposed to be a priority, sadly for some people this is not so. The pursuit of the almighty dollar stays at the forefront, while personal relationships suffer. It’s okay to strive for more income to provide the things you and your family want. Yes, that may require long hours and hard work, but it’s important to maintain balance. Are there relationships in your life that need some improving? Or, are things going great?
Here are a few thoughts on improving a people poor situation. Schedule time to spend in your most important relationships. When you are spending time with family and friends, enjoy it. This doesn’t mean you have to participate in planned activities or vacations, instead try laughing together, talking together, or just being in the presence of one another.
Money Poor
This can be a tough one. The credit card companies make it tempting and easy to go into debt. Advertising whets our appetite for keeping up with our neighbors. We can feel deprived when we don’t get the things we think we deserve. It seems to be a vicious cycle. Taking an honest look at your situation is the only way to know where you are.
People who are money poor are often quick to begrudge those who are wealthy. Nevermind that most people who are wealthy have earned it fair and square. This poor attitude contributes greatly to money poorness. Changing attitudes about money can be hard, even if you are a normal person, with a normal job, and a normal paycheck. However, to help change your attitude try this exercise: whenever you hear someone making a comment about the financially well-off being greedy, dishonest, or lucky - do your best to politely express the contrary view. Why would you let someone speak badly of something you hold dear?

Gardening to Attract Wildlife
By Lord Thompson Manor | September 22, 2008
By Heather Richards
Whether you have a large property, an average backyard or no more room than a patio or balcony, you can transform your space into a peaceful and attractive garden for you and a sanctuary for a variety of local wildlife. Your wildlife habitat can be as simple as choosing a few large potted plants to attract butterflies or hummingbirds, or hanging bird-feeders supplying an assortment of foods for your favorite birds. Or it can be as elaborate as your space will allow.
You can create a pond for fish, turtles, frogs, toads and other wetland creatures; surround it with Typha (cat-tails/bulrushes), Irises, Saggitaria (arrowhead), and who could forget water-lilies? This scenery could attract some very interesting and unique wetland wildlife, such as beautiful dragonflies whose larvae are aquatic. Depending on your locale, ducks could even be drawn to your garden pond.
You may also want bee attracting plants, because bees are often a garden’s best friend. Plants and flowers which are high in nectar and pollen are great for attracting bees, also make sure to plant them so they are accessible and obvious. It is an especially good idea for a back yard where children play, because bees will be more attracted to those plants rather than small flowers on the ground that children may step on.
If you’re particularly interested in butterflies, it’s a good idea not to concentrate only on plants that will attract adult butterflies. Instead, choose plants that may also give them a place to hibernate and lay eggs, and plants that caterpillars like to eat. Some of them are not very attractive and generally are not included in most gardens, such as nettles and thistles, dogbane, or milkweed.
Birds may enjoy flowering shrubs, you could choose a species of Viburnum, and with over 150 different kinds it should be easy to choose one that will be a perfect addition to your garden. Viburnums are relatives of honeysuckle, but not often victimized by pets, another reason for their great popularity. The foliage of Viburnums vary greatly from one kind to another, there are evergreen, semi-evergreen, as well as many deciduous varieties which are especially attractive in autumn.
It’s also important to have a water source in your garden, an old tub or basin would be fine, otherwise you could install a birdbath or fountain. You could also place a broken clay pot in your garden to house a toad, or a woodpile to welcome all sorts of insects or a frog if it’s wet enough. If your woodpile is big enough, you may even find a rabbit living in your garden!

2008 Trends in Wildlife Protection
By Lord Thompson Manor | September 21, 2008
By Lance Winslow
There are many strong trends that are continuing in the arena of wildlife protection in 2008 and these trends appear to be thrusting forward into 2009. A few species thought to be endangered are coming off the protected list such as the North American Grey Wolf and a specific species of Gorilla in Africa. In Africa 250,000 more Gorilla were discovered in a remote region where humans rarely go.
In North America the Grey Wolf population has grown due to humanity putting them on the endangered list and making it illegal to hunt them. Now, hunting is resuming, but the Grey Wolves are extremely smart and hard to hunt, so hunters are hunting them by air. They are also using traps, which is upsetting animal protection groups, as they call this inhumane.
In Oregon large sea mammals that are protected are being shot near the Dams on the Colorado River because they are eating too many salmon near the specially made ladders, which act as a choke point. So mankind is once again interfering in the eco-system and chain. Meanwhile, in Alaska, Global Warming Alarmists have successfully gotten the Polar Bears on the endangered list, which many in Alaska think is ridiculous, thus the fight goes on there.
Incidentally, the Polar Bears are breeding with North American Black Bears now, which is making for another interesting argument. If the Polar Bears decrease in numbers is it because they are breeding with Black Bears or because of melted ice causing migration issues and challenges too great for that species.
Today, one of the biggest challenges we face is that due to mankind’s travels many foreign species are ending up where they shouldn’t be. Sometimes they hitch a ride in Cargo Ship ballast tanks, other times they end up in rivers, streams and in the wild due to exotic pet owners who make the fatal error of releasing them into the wild where there are no natural predators and an abundant food supply.

Wildlife Studies
By Lord Thompson Manor | September 21, 2008
By Sarfaraz Ali
Animals and the plants that live and grow in the wild are categorized as the wildlife. Many a times the domestication of plants and animals has taken place and has incurred both positive and negative impacts on the surroundings. It is available in the whole ecology namely the wastelands and wilderness and is profoundly effected by the actions of the human beings.
The history of wildlife can be traced back to the ancient times when distinction amongst the humans and the wildlife. Numerous religions hold them sacred. Current times have seen the provision of numerous protests by activists regarding the mistreatment for the purpose of recreation or individual advantages.
They have been used throughout history as the primary food that has been used by several through out history. Today hunting, fishing, and gathering other wildlife as a means of food are common practice across the globe. In several countries they are used as popular aphrodisiacs. This increase in their popularity has added immensely to the increase in their extinction. In many cultures they are considered as holy creatures that have been given great religious significance.
Other than that they are included in early school courses and are a popular trade of the department of sightseeing. This source has been a popular income generator for the past many years. It has motivated the poor countries much into working towards the preservation of their wildlife legacy.
Many wildlife species are at a threat of becoming extinct due to over slaughter. This phenomenon is more observable in the species which are fewer in number and whose reproduction rate is slow, in contrast to the species that are fast growing and are large in figure. If the hunting rates continue to show a rise greater than the rate at which the respective species can reproduce, the reduction in the numbers will persist.

Techniques for Wildlife Photography
By Lord Thompson Manor | September 21, 2008
By Weis Ow
In this article, I will talk about techniques for wildlife photography. There are two categories for subjects of wildlife. One is the wild animals and the other category is animals under human control. Both categories, with skills and techniques, can produce astonishing images. Nothing beats capturing wonderful pictures of wildlife in its most natural environment. However, sometimes it may be impossible to go to exotic places or even spend weeks trying to track the wildlife. Some wildlife animal can be dangerous too.
How do you get stunning pictures of the wildlife? What is the shot size you should consider in the first place? Close-ups may be nice in some instance, but definitely not in wildlife photography. If you want close-ups, you can jolly well take them in the zoo. Taking a wide-shot gives the viewers a sense of the environment, and if the surrounding happens to enhance the photo, it will become an essential part of the picture composition. Even so, the subject will still be significant and a wonderful image is produced.
The techniques for wildlife photography can be tricky. In order to approach an animal closer for a better shot, you may want to consider using a vehicle. The techniques for wildlife photography can be further improved and at the same time, you can produce nicer, quality photographs.
One very important element is the right way of shooting the wildlife, which is keeping your shots steady. Having a tripod will be very helpful in getting steady shots. If by any chance, you forgot to bring your tripod, try to get a beanbag to support your camera when taking the shots. If not, grab anything that’s near you which can act as a support when taking your shots. An image stabilization lens is a good option too. It is a great helper to wildlife photographers if you can afford them. Image stabilization lenses enable you to capture sharp pictures even in low light. It is an important equipment to mastering the techniques in wildlife photography. They stabilize your shots by minimizing the shakiness as much as it can when the camera is in your hand. This enables you to be more flexible in taking your shots.
