One and one-half acres of rain forest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries. Rain forests are being destroyed because the value of rain forest land is perceived as only the value of its timber by shortsighted governments, multinational logging companies, and land owners.
4). Historical View of Chess
Copyright 2006 Francesca Black
Chess, the game of kings, has its origins appropriately shrouded in mystery.
The chess board and it's pieces are indicative of medieval life. The six different chess pieces on the board represent a cross section of medieval life with its many ceremonies, grandeur, and wars. The castle piece on a chess board is the home, or the refuge, just as it was a home in medieval times.

In 1619 Jamestown Colony, Virginia enacted laws ordering farmers to grow hemp. Similar laws were enacted in Massachusetts in 1631, Connecticut in 1632 and the Chesapeake Colonies in the mid-1700's.
Even though the U.S. government encouraged American farmers to grow hemp for WWII and had even accepted it as payment of taxes in Colonial America, it is now prohibited to grow hemp in the United States.
6). Protection From a Home Invasion

If you have a lot of jewelry, valuable documents, cash or other negotiable items, consider installing a safe or a burglar alarm. Don't leave notes for service people or family members on the door, these act as a welcome mat for a burglar.
Trees located near windows or shrubbery that might shield a burglar from view can be major flaws in your home-protection plan.

8). Puppy Proof Your Home
Copyright 2006 Francesca Black
Before bringing your new puppy home, select a veterinarian and set up an appointment for your new puppy to have a checkup. Your puppy will need to have regular checkups, and immunizations to protect him from common canine infections, so it is important that you establish a relationship with a veterinarian early on.
A new puppy is akin to having a new toddler.
