Ways to protect the environment
We all want to protect our planet, but we're mostly too busy or too lazy to put up big change that would improve our lifestyle and save the environment. These are simple habits to implement in your everyday life which will make a difference. There is nothing new here but if you follow at least some of these tips, you can be proud of yourself participating in the protection of the environment.
Firstly, use compact fluorescent light bulbs.
It is true that these bulbs are more expensive, but they last much longer and they can save energy and in the long term your electricity bill would be reduced. Secondly, donate clothes or things you want to get rid of. If they are still usable, give them to someone who needs them. You may also choose to give them to associations. These associations may sell them and collect a little money. Not only will you protect the environment, but you will also contribute to a good cause.
Next, turn off your devices when you are not using it. For example, if you don't watch TV, turn it off. Turn off the light when you leave a room (even if you intend to return.) It's an easy habit to take up which will help you save a lot of money. Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself the following question: do I really need my car? Walk or use your bike if the journey is a short one.
Other than that, watch out for leaky faucets, which can cause a significant increase in the the water bill. An average of 120 litres of water can be wasted due to a dripping faucet. And last but not least, think of recovering rainwater. This water can be used for different purposes. These tips are far from being exhaustive but in addition to saving the environment, all these tips will help you save money too.
Israel tests emergency response to Lebanon attack
KFAR KILA, Lebanon: The Israeli army carried out contingency maneuvers on its border with Lebanon Tuesday in case of an attack on the area during its construction a 6-meter-high separation wall.
Tens of Israeli soldiers were deployed in the area and were visible from the border town of Kfar Kila along with several Hummers after Israel asked the construction company to evacuate the vicinity.
The Israeli army could be seen transferring pretend wounded army personnel to an ambulance as part of an emergency scenario, while soldiers assembled in groups at different points along the fence.
Israel notified the U.N. Interim Forces in Lebanon earlier Tuesday of the maneuvers, which in turn notified the Lebanese army which also deployed tens of soldiers along the border.
The Lebanese army told UNIFIL that Israel should not violate the border coordinates during the construction process.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah members have placed pictures of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad along the border road connecting Fatima Gate to Adaysseh.
Israel began construction of the separation wall Monday. The wire fence currently in use will eventually be replaced with 4-meter-high concrete blocks topped by fencing and barbed wire, resulting in an overall height of some 6 meters.
Israeli officials say the wall, stretching from the former Jidar al-Tayyib Gate to the Fatima Gate crossing, is intended to protect residents of the border town of Metula, which faces Kfar Kila.
Lebanese officers were given topographical maps to follow the construction as it happened and ensure that it met the prearranged conditions.
Members of the U.N. Disengagement Observer Force worked with the Israeli army to ensure that the wall was erected within Israeli territory.

Aggressive behavior in children is a widespread problem that is
gaining increasing attention throughout the world and the search
for effective solutions poses a major challenge to practitioners and
policy makers (Connor, 2002). In the Israeli educational system,
individual art therapy is one of the main interventions available,
apart from school-wide prevention programs. Kramer (1972) suggests
that art therapy is ideal forworking with aggressive children1
as aggression is an abundant source of energy for creative activity.
The creative process both utilizes and neutralizes the client’s
pent-up aggression. Unique difficulties and dilemmas may arise,
however, in treating this population, and these may be implicated
in treatment effectiveness (Nissimov-Nahum, 2007, 2008).
One central issue thatmay play an important role is the personal
experience of the therapist. The general literature on psychotherapy
has highlighted the significance and impact of therapists’ conscious
and unconscious feelings and reactions toward the client, often
termed counter-transference. These may be especially relevant in
the treatment of aggressive clients. Winnicott (1975) writes that “If
an analyst is to analyse psychotics or anti-socials he must be able to
be so thoroughly aware of the counter-transference that he can sort
History
The contemporary wedding cake has grown out of many traditions. One of the first traditions began in Ancient Rome; bread was broken over the bride’s head to bring good fortune to the couple.[2] In medieval England cakes were stacked as high as possible for the bride and groom to kiss over, if they successfully kissed over the stack they were guaranteed a prosperous life.[3] From this the Croquembouche was created. The legend of this cake says that a pastry chef, visiting medieval England, witnessed their tradition of piling sweet rolls between the bride and groom which they would attempt to kiss over without knocking them all down. The pastry chef then went back to France and piled sweet rolls up into a tower to make the first Croquembouche.[2]
In some places where “bride’s pie” was served, guests were expected to have a piece out of politeness←; it was considered very rude to not have a piece. One of the traditions of bride’s pie was to place a ring in the middle and the maiden who found it would be the next to marry, similar to the modern tradition of catching the flower bouquet. Bride pie developed into bride cake in the 17th century though the bride’s pie remained popular until the 19th century. The bride cake was traditionally a plum or fruit cake.[1] Fruit cakes were a sign of fertility and prosperity which helped them gain popularity. The bride’s cake eventually transformed into the modern wedding cake. [4]
In the 1600s two cakes were made, one for the bride and one for the groom. When the two cake began being served together, the groom's cake was typically the darker colored, rich fruitcake. In contrast, the bride’s cake was usually a simple pound cake with white icing because white was a sign of virginity and purity.[5] The white coloring also had other meanings for people in the 17th century. Sugar was becoming easier to obtain, but the more refined and whiter sugars were expensive; having a very pure white frosting showed off the wealth of the family.[6] When Queen Victoria used white icing on her cake it gained a new title, royal icing.[7]
The modern wedding cake as we know it now originated with Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany’s marriage and wedding cake in 1882; his was the first to actually be completely edible. His cakes were iced, and after the ice hardened, they were stacked on top of each other to create a tiered cake, using the icing for support was not common before his wedding. In 1902, pillars to separate and support the tiers of the layered cake were developed. The tiers represented prosperity and were also a status symbol for the family who could afford a tiered cake.[8]
[edit]Symbolism
One of the most obvious symbolic traditions is the cake’s white color to symbolize virginity and purity. Cutting the cake together as bride and groom symbolizes their first task in married life. However, this tradition actually originated because the wife needed her husband’s strength to cut through the thick, hard icing on the early modern wedding cake. By feeding each other the bride and groom are symbolizing their commitment to provide for each other.[9]
[edit]Superstitions
The wedding cake is surrounded by superstitions; its origins are even based on one. The cake being broken over the bride’s head was to bring good fortune to the couple. The guests would eat the crumbs from the broken cake for good luck. When the bride pie was served, often a ring was placed in the middle and the maiden who found it would be the next to marry. Every guest was expected to have a piece because the pie was assurance that the couple would be happy together, it was very rude for a guest to not have any of the pie.[10] Another superstition was that bachelorettes should sleep with a piece of the cake under her pillow and she would dream of the person fate intended for her. Another way to dream of their future husbands was for the bride and groom to pass pieces of cake through the bride’s wedding ring and then the bachelorette would then sleep with a crumb of it in her left stocking and the rest under her pillow.[11]
[edit]Modern adaptations
A contemporary wedding cake
Wedding cake toppers are small models that sit on top of the cake, normally a representation of a bride and groom in formal wedding attire. This custom was dominant in US weddings in the 1950s where it represented the concept of togetherness.[12] Wedding toppers today are often figures that indicate shared hobbies or other passions, if they are used at all.[12] Wedding cakes can also be decorated with flowers.
In the United Kingdom, the traditional wedding cake is made from a rich fruitcake, although many modern cakes now consist of either vanilla sponge, chocolate sponge or carrot cake. Most cakes are between three and five tiers in height. Among some more elaborate cakes the United Kingdom see are those prepared for the Royal Weddings.
