SAINT PATRICK'S DAY
Saint Patrick's Day, also known as The Feast of Saint Patrick, is a traditional holiday celebrated every year on March 17th, the day the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, died.
Patrick, who was born in the fourth century, lived in the British Isles, a land that had been invaded and conquered first by the Romans and then by Germanic tribes. At the age of 16, Patrick was captured and taken as a slave from the British Isles to what is now Ireland. He lived there for several years herding sheep. He was a religious boy, and he prayed that he would someday return to his homeland.
Legend has it that one night while he was praying, a voice told him to escape from the farm, and find a ship that was waiting for him in a harbor two hundred miles aways. Patrick got to the ship, sailed to Europe, and disembarked in what is now probably France. He ---1--- several of the ship's crew through a dangerous forest, praying all the time. Neither Patrick nor any member of his crew was captured. When some of the men were about to die of starvation, wild animals appeared to them to eat. Events such as these appeared to be miracles and gave rise to later legends surrounding Patrick.
Finally finding his way home, Patrick felt that he was called by God to perform an important mission. He believed it was his duty to go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian Religion.
Patrick arrived in England and became a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. Once, several members of a tribe approached Patrick and told him that they found it difficult to understand and believe in the Holy Trinity. Patrick thought a moment, then stooped down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks growing wild around Ireland. “Here are three leaves", he said, “yet it is one plant. Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each of these leaves. Here they are, yet they are one plant." The tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a familiar object to explain. From that time on, the shamrock has been a revered symbol of Ireland.
There are lots of stories about Patrick. One of them is about him forcing snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. Even though there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a task, it is probably not true. Patrick died on March 17th, and the Irish people set aside the day to mourn. He became the patron saint of Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating him and celebrating his life.
Because of Saint Patrick, lots of cities around the world with a large population of Irish have parades. Green is one of the national colors of Ireland. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons, and hats. There are even pubs which serve green beer on that day.
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian holiday in the early seventeenth century. It is now observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Not only that, but it also celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

What if there were no bees?
It's a beautiful day for a picnic, but minutes after you spread a blanket on the grass and
unpack an impressive selection of sandwiches, fruit salad and a show-stopping cherry pie, you
discover an uninvited guest. A bee is making the rounds, buzzing around your head and scaring all
your friends. You're about to swipe at the winged interloper with your shoe, but then think better of
it.
It's a good thing, too, because bee populations are dwindling. Consider these United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey results, based on 21.7 percent of the 2.6 million bee
colonies in the United States. During the 2013-2014 winter, more than 23 percent of honeybees in
the managed colonies included in the survey had died. The winter before that was even worse,
when more than 30 percent of the hives died [source: Jones].
And honeybees aren't the only bees at risk. There are more than 20,000 species of bees in
the Hymenoptera order that are crucial to life as we know it [source: Encyclopedia Britannica]. So
what would happen if there were no bees at all?
Bees rely on pollen and nectar from plants for food. The nectar is later transformed into
honey and the pollen is transferred from plant to plant as the bees travel, resulting in crosspollination.
In fact, bees pollinate as much as 70 percent of the planet's top 100 food crops,
including apples, avocadoes, cucumbers, nuts, squash and more [source: Greenpeace].
Many of the diverse flavors and nutritional components in our food are the direct result of
bees at work. And, without the crucial role bees play in agriculture, the world's food supplies would
likely suffer. That's because an estimated one-third of all the food we eat relies on bees to flourish.
Some of the foods we eat simply wouldn't exist without bees. Almonds, for instance, rely entirely
on bees for pollination. In California alone, the almond crop needs 1.4 million bee colonies for
successful pollination [source: USDA].
If there were no bees, our food supply would be less varied and less available. While we
might not go extinct, we would certainly need to find edible alternatives to many of the mainstay
foods we currently enjoy -- particularly those crops dependent on bees for pollination -- and figure
out ways to stave off economic hardship and famine until new cultivation methods could be
developed.

What if there were no bees?
It's a beautiful day for a picnic, but minutes after you spread a blanket on the grass and
unpack an impressive selection of sandwiches, fruit salad and a show-stopping cherry pie, you
discover an uninvited guest. A bee is making the rounds, buzzing around your head and scaring all
your friends. You're about to swipe at the winged interloper with your shoe, but then think better of
it.
It's a good thing, too, because bee populations are dwindling. Consider these United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey results, based on 21.7 percent of the 2.6 million bee
colonies in the United States. During the 2013-2014 winter, more than 23 percent of honeybees in
the managed colonies included in the survey had died. The winter before that was even worse,
when more than 30 percent of the hives died [source: Jones].
And honeybees aren't the only bees at risk. There are more than 20,000 species of bees in
the Hymenoptera order that are crucial to life as we know it [source: Encyclopedia Britannica]. So
what would happen if there were no bees at all?
Bees rely on pollen and nectar from plants for food. The nectar is later transformed into
honey and the pollen is transferred from plant to plant as the bees travel, resulting in crosspollination.
In fact, bees pollinate as much as 70 percent of the planet's top 100 food crops,
including apples, avocadoes, cucumbers, nuts, squash and more [source: Greenpeace].
Many of the diverse flavors and nutritional components in our food are the direct result of
bees at work. And, without the crucial role bees play in agriculture, the world's food supplies would
likely suffer. That's because an estimated one-third of all the food we eat relies on bees to flourish.
Some of the foods we eat simply wouldn't exist without bees. Almonds, for instance, rely entirely
on bees for pollination. In California alone, the almond crop needs 1.4 million bee colonies for
successful pollination [source: USDA].
If there were no bees, our food supply would be less varied and less available. While we
might not go extinct, we would certainly need to find edible alternatives to many of the mainstay
foods we currently enjoy -- particularly those crops dependent on bees for pollination -- and figure
out ways to stave off economic hardship and famine until new cultivation methods could be
developed.

Read the text below entitled “10 Ways to Protect Your Privacy Online" in order to answer question:
Source: www.newsweek.com (Adapted) Oct, 22nd 2010
Up to a couple of years ago, I used to say that the average person could protect his or her privacy on the Web. Even as the founder of an online reputation-management company, I believed it was possible – so long as you were willing to commit some time doing it. Today, I tell people this: the landscape of personal data mining and exploitation is shifting faster than ever; trying to protect your online privacy is like trying to build your own antivirus software – really, really difficult. But whether or not you have the time (or money) to invest in the pros, there are a few simple steps we can all take to reduce the risk to our private data.
Identity thieves use birth dates as cornerstones of their craft. If you want your friends to know your birthday, try just the month and day, and leave out the year.
2. Use multiple usernames and passwords.
Keep your usernames and passwords for social networks, online banking, e-mail, and online shopping all separate. Having distinct passwords is not enough nowadays: if you have the same username across different Web sites, your entire life can be mapped and re-created with simple algorithms.
3. Shred. If you are going to throw away credit-card offers, bank statements, or anything else that might come in hard copy to your house, rip them up into tiny bits first.
