Global Warming- Climate Change

In the past decade, it has been called everything from the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind” to the “greatest challenge to face man”. There have been conventions, coalitions, and conferences held in its name. Hundreds of politicians have discussed, debated and even come to agree on possible solutions armed with which we might stand and face its impending challenge. Thousands of scientists have released studies, statements, and reports documenting its harmful and possibly even apocalyptic consequences for all of the world’s biodiversity. Millions of people have individually altered their own lifestyles and together they have walked and run and biked in fierce protest. The issue at hand is climate change, and it has literally and figuratively taken every corner of our world by storm. People are increasingly aware that this environmental threat could be the defining issue of our time.

In the face of this global challenge, older generations are coming to the table to work towards a remedy. However, in energy, productivity, and creativity an ever-growing youth movement has eclipsed their efforts. Self-mobilized youth around the world are currently pursuing just and sustainable solutions to global warming with the maturity and sense of urgency necessary in these pressing times.

We at TakingITGlobal believe it is these youth who have the power to mitigate the forces set in motion by our industrialized societies. With the proper resources and guidance, the bureaucracy that currently hinders international climate policy will be avoided, and an opportunity to discover honest and efficient political solutions will ensue. With feasible intergovernmental ratifications made concerning global warming, domestic efforts will be far more efficient. Inspired and led by youth, our global community will solve the problem that has already inspired so much adversity around the world.

But it all begins with youth taking advantage of the multitude resources available in order to rally peers and make a difference. TakingITGlobal’s climate change page is a fantastic way to learn all about this paramount issue and simultaneously about the rest of the youth movement and possible roles within it. Learn about what others are doing and get inspired to take action by either starting or joining a local project. Our Climate Change Youth Guide to Action is there to help, every step of the way.

In the end, global youth have all of the evidence they need to inspire action. All that is needed now are the diplomatic and policy-building tools that will complement the amazing energy and creativity of these youth, enabling them to help tackle the environmental and ensuing social challenges the world currently faces.

This is about survival. And while we are in this together, younger generations possess the clarity, the vision and the imperative to help save this planet. We hope that TakingITGlobal is one of many platforms that support those on the journey towards unifying our growing world and repairing the damage we have done, in the interests of both present and future generations of life.

How to Save Yourself ?



Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're driving home (alone of course) after
an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, and frustrated......



You are really stressed and upset, suddenly you start experiencing
severe pain in your chest that start to radiate out in your arm and up
into your jaw. You are only five miles from the hospital nearest your home.
Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.




What to do? You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that
conducted the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself!!



How to survive a heart attack when alone? Since many people are alone.
When they suffer a heart attack, without help. The person whose heart
is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint has only about 10 seconds
left before losing conscious. What to do???




Answer: Do not panic. But start coughing repeatedly and very vigorously,
a deep breath should be taken before each cough. The cough must be deep
and prolonged. As when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.
A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without
left-up until help arrives or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.



Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze
the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the
heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack
victims can get to a hospital.



Tell as many others people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!!
Don't ever think that you are not prone to heart attack. As your age is less
than 25 or 30. Now a days due to the change in the life style, heart attack is
found among people of all age groups.

Earthquake Strikes

Today 30th Of September 2009, around 18.18pm i was watching television program after a whole day work. I stay at condominium where very near to the Malacca strait, while i was watching t.v. i feel myself shaking and spinning but impossible than i notice my lamps which hanging on the wall was shaking very quick though in my mind is earthquake which come from Indonesia.

So i run out from the house and see so many people running out toward outside guard house to find the what is happening. Just few minute we got a news where there is a earthquake magnitude 7.9 strikes at Indonesia West Sumatra 23 minutes ago. The quake was recorded about 33 miles from Padang, the capital city of West Sumatra, which is home to more than 800,000 people.

Several buildings were damaged, Metro TV reported. People were seen running out of their homes and toward the hills.


Well, disaster again happen and at the same time i also know that at Samoa happen tsunami and the The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a tsunami watch for Indonesia, India, Thailand and Malaysia.

For Samoa there is no early warning for Samoa tsunami and Some Samoan residents said they had little or no warning of Tuesday's deadly tsunami, despite the development of an early alert system in the wake of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean disaster.

More than 50 people were killed after a massive 8.0-magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami over the remote Pacific islands of Samoa and American Samoa, wiping out entire villages and sweeping cars into the sea.

Kitchen Fire

I never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to cover a fire in a pan! This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire...Oil in a frying pan. Read the following introduction, and then watch the show... It's a real eye-opener!!

At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz. cup at the end of a 10 foot pole, toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students.

The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes heated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.

Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.

This is a powerful message----watch the video and don't forget what you see. Tell your whole family about this video or better yet, send this to them.

Chinese+English=Chinglish

You might like it. This is hilarious... ..even an Englishman could not construct sentences using numeric, which is exclusive only to Malaysians and Singaporeans.

Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using

a 9 and try to stab at him. 10

I don't understand. I am so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1.

Who Did IT???-Safe Sex Is Important.

Think before you decide to have sex. Think before you get an unwanted pregnancy. A baby is for life, its not a toy. Use your brain before you dump the baby in a garbage bin and leave the baby to die. You should know whether is your boyfriend are ready to get married or take responsibility or not if you get pregnant. If no then don’t have sex or practice safe sex.

If you thought you were ready to have sex, you should consider what would happen if you became pregnant.

I am not talking about religious part, people know about it. You should get married to prevent committing the sin of fornication or adultery. People won’t do it if they think about religious.

How if you have an unwanted pregnancy today, what would you do? Are you ready to be a mother? If yes, then good for you.

Now you have the child no matter what. It is a life that you have created, and if you are unable to take care of this child, you can do the most unselfish, loving thing, and that is to let a loving family adopt him/her. That is the choice you have to make. Don’t dump your baby..

Where did it happen?

How To Talk To Your Kids about Sex

This article is good for parents who hesitate to share with their children about sex.

When your child asks where babies come from, do you break a sweat and blame it on the stork? Have you had a conversation about oral sex, masturbation or contraception with your teen? If you haven't started "the talk" with your child, sex therapist Dr. Laura Berman says you could be making a big mistake.
How to talk to your kids about sex

Dr. Berman says kids today know a lot more about sex than we think they do. In fact, Berman says children are being forced to make sexual decisions by middle school, from receiving sexually explicit text messages -- also called "sexting" -- to feeling pressured to perform acts like oral sex.

What you need to do as a parent, Berman says, is arm them with knowledge that will guide them well into adulthood. "You want to start these conversations early with your kids -- before they find themselves in the circumstances where they're having to make those healthy sexual decisions."

O, The Oprah Magazine and Seventeen magazine joined forces for a groundbreaking new sex study that surveys moms and girls ages 15 to 22. The bottom line? Parents aren't talking to their kids enough about sex. Oprah.com: See the results of this groundbreaking study

"What is so fascinating to me is 90 percent of the mothers, our readers, thought that they had had the conversation with their daughters about sex," says Gayle King, O magazine's editor-at-large.

"When you talk to the daughters, you'll find out, well, no, you didn't really quite have the conversation."

Although some mothers shy away from the conversation because they don't want to seem like they're condoning sex, King says you have to arm your daughters with as much information as you can. "Knowledge is power," she says.

Seventeen magazine editor-in-chief Ann Shoket says girls don't only want the nuts-and-bolts talk about sex -- they want to learn more about the feelings that can come with it.
