Colorado Hosts A New GE Solar Plant

2011-10-16T03:30:00.001-07:00

Colorado was chosen by General Electric Co. as a new place for building a new solar panel plant priced at $600 million.

The state was among 10 other pretenders to host the plant, the building of which GE announced in April. The solar factory was said to be the biggest photovoltaic panel factory in the US.

The plant is likely to be built in Aurora, as one source stated.

Indian scientists discover 12 night frogs

2011-09-17T08:00:00.001-07:00

After years and years of hard work and studies, a group of Indian scientists finally discovered new frog species. They are 12 absolutely unique frogs and other 3 species that are apparently did not die out, as it has been thought before.

These frogs are a great find, since around 32% of amphibian species over the world are considered endangered species.

"Frogs are extremely important indicators not just of climate change, but also pollutants in the environment," said the project's lead scientist, biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju of the University of Delhi.

Biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju claimed that people do not take much interest in frogs or amphibians in India, because they are more focused on elephants and tigers.

The 12 species of frogs that were found are night frogs. The group of researchers had to spend nights listening to all sounds and trying to distinguish frog’s sounds. These frogs croak in a quite unusual way, similar to a cat’s call.

Global warming affects human health positively

2011-09-15T01:30:00.001-07:00

A new and extremely contradictory statement regarding global warming has been recently made. Three groups of global warming researchers now claim that global warming is not that harmful for human health and for the environment, as it was thought. Quite the contrary, global warming is likely to have a positive effect on human health.

In the new “Climate Change Reconsidered: 2011 Interim Report” it’s stated that greenhouse gases do not influence climate change at such a rate as previous reports asserted.

However, the conclusions of the study contradict the findings of the widely cited reports of the IPCC and many climate research organizations.

The report says that “global warming is more likely to improve rather than harm human health because rising temperatures lead to a greater reduction in winter deaths than the increase they cause in summer deaths.”

The reports also states that the Medieval Warm Period of approximately 1,000 years ago was both “global and warmer than today’s world.”

_________________________________________________________

That’s one more proof that scientists are usually in twenty minds. There’s nothing wrong about changing your point of view, it’s even cool to be able to change your position and accept another one. However, it should also remind us that there’s no point in believing every word scientists say, and it’s a good idea to accept the possibility of other things being probable. That also makes me think of year 2012, “the END of the World” lol

Making the environment cleaner can be fun

The Fun Theory–The deepest rubbish bin

A world wide known car company Volkswagen created a great way of stimulating people to change their behavior or habits for the better, and they call it The Fun Theory. Any person can make up a fun theory and a group of specialists will bring this idea to life. In the video placed above you can see a great example of how throwing litter in a rubbish bin can be fun, and make people smile. You can see a guy who threw away his own litter, then picked up some other nearby the bin and also threw it away. Would he do that if not for this cool “falling into depth” sound? I don’t think so. So the point is – people like fun stuff and it doesn’t matter whether it’s about throwing litter into a bin or walking up “piano” stairs.

I’m really happy there are people who invent such fun and attractive things, and it somehow changes people’s behavior for the better.

Eco-friendly herbs in natural weight loss pills

2011-09-14T04:36:00.001-07:00

As you may know, herbs are used for medical purposes, as well as in cookery, perfumery and as fragrance.

Let’s take the famous Aloe Vera. I sometimes buy hand cream with Aloe Vera, because it makes my hands very soft and also provides them with vitamins. Aloe Vera is added to such products as shampoo, tissues, make up, shaving cream, lotions.

It’s used in medicine, because It improves digestion, increases energy, improves blood glucose levels, treats herpes, has antibacterial activities.

You can find Aloe in weight loss supplements, because this wonderful plant burns fat as well.

When I was losing weight, I took natural weight loss pills called Slim Fast. I believe it’s much better to take herbal weight loss pills with natural ingredients, than those ones that contain chemicals that can do your body a lot of harm.

Which else herbs serve as ingredients in natural weight loss pills?

Cinnamomum Zeylanicum, in other words cinnamon. It’s used as a spice in various desserts like buns, candies, pies, donuts and others. This simple bark is even able to fight against HIV, decrease blood sugar and sweet cravings.

There are many more other herbs included in natural weight loss supplements, which makes those pills absolutely harmless and highly effective.

How to lose weight or dieting madmen

2011-05-18T12:37:00.001-07:00

Losing weight becomes an obsessive idea for many people. Thinking of slimming down goes along with many of us every single day. We keep to diets and feel guilty after eating a piece of cake, if not to say we hate ourselves at this moment, and give a regular promise - not to break our own “rule” again. However, you can’t go against our innate sweet tooth, which means you’ll break the rule again sooner or later. It becomes a real struggle, a physical struggle as well as psychological. It becomes some kind of madness or illness that follows you every day, every minute, and anywhere.

Clearly, eating a lot of sweets does affect our body. Besides, it’s not healthy to consume a lot of sugar. However, the obsession doesn’t end with sweets. Even such foods as bread, potatoes and bananas become a taboo. Those foods that have always considered the staff of live are now rejected by you. Why? Because we believe they’ll make us fat. Thus, we switch to eggs and bacon in order to have a more attractive body and as a result become unhealthier. Our body requires certain amount of nutrients for normal functioning every day. The restriction leads to a breakdown in the metabolism, which affects our well being, our mood, and our emotional condition.

At the same time, overeating is not a way to become healthier, either. Overeating, somehow, gives you a feeling of apathy. You become lazy and emotionally empty. Many people eat a lot just to mask their stress and depression, instead of trying to get rid of them. So, trying to help yourself out of depression with large quantities of food leads to nowhere.

Moreover, I want to remind you of a great job that media and TV do in order to make you feel less attractive and less confident. Dieting books, magazines, manuals, TV programs – all that gives you an idea that there’s something wrong with your look and it’s time to make changes. Everything is accompanied with pictures of ideal bodies and served to you. Often it’s not us who are overweight, but media that make us believe so. Then, we buy books or pharmaceuticals to lose weight and that’s how weight loss marketers get capitalized.

Is there any solution to the problem? Yes, there is. Keep in mind that no medicine can affect your look, but you. You are the one who controls your own life and eating habits, of course. You should learn to know where the limit is and to feel when you are full. You can try practicing yoga or apply other practics that will help you learn to rely on your own instincts. You will eat less but with a real pleasure which is usually forgotten.

Consumption of ketchup prevents cardiovascular diseases

2011-03-23T06:32:00.001-07:00

Dear ketchup lovers,

Did you know that consumption of ketchup is said to prevent cardiovascular diseases? That was shown by various studies held on the 14^th of March on the occasion of the European day for prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases. It also was carried out that ketchup is a good antioxidant.

Apparently, this beneficial effect that ketchup has is due to the content of lycopene, a vegetational pigment found in tomatoes and other red vegetables and fruits, that serves as a protector against cardiovascular diseases as a result of its antioxidant activity.

Lycopene is contained in fresh tomatoes in various amounts depending on the variability and the level of maturity (between 3 and 43 mg/100g). Lycopene is also found in all other derivatives such as: gazpacho soup, tomato sauce, tomato juice, chopped tomatoes, peeled tomatoes or ketchup, which reaches 25 mg per 100 grams.

Over the past 10 years there have been 14 clinical tests that assess the impact of consumption of products rich in lycopene with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. Some of them are conducted by researchers at the University of Milan (Italy), Kobe University (Japan), University of Oulu (Finland) and the University of Kuopto (Finland).

-------------------------------------------------------------

I’d like to add that tomato ketchup can be eaten with various products and with a great number of dishes. I even tried eating it with bananas

Ebay offers eco-friendly shipping boxes

2010-09-07T10:03:00.001-07:00

Online store Ebay will soon provide its buyers with eco-friendly boxes for shipping goods made of recycled material. Each box will travel from the seller to the buyer and back.

The shipping boxes are supposed to be used by sellers for free, available in 3 different sizes.

Ebay Green Team believes that given each box gets reused at least five times, 4.000 trees and 2.4 million gallons of water can be annually preserved. They also left a lot of space on each box to write a message for the next buyer, which means every box will have its own history that can be tracked online.

Healthy food forms a healthy lifestyle

2010-04-25T04:01:00.001-07:00

We hear about healthy eating every day. We see various healthy recipes in magazines and on TV, but few of us pay enough attention to this issue. When we’re short of time we’ll drop into McDonald’s instead of cooking some healthy soup.

A lot of people believe healthy dieting is expensive. That’s only partly true. Undoubtedly, buying healthy food in special organic shops does require a significant amount of money. However you can buy organic products (vegetables or fruit) from people who grow them themselves or buy them in less expensive shops.

Healthy dieting doesn’t imply eating only organic food all the time. It’s also connected with amount of food you supply and with right mealtime. Eating fried organic potatoes all day long won’t make you any good. There are some simple rules of healthy eating:

1. Have a balanced meal. A daily ration should consist of the main nutrients such as proteins, fats, carbs, water, vitamins and minerals in good supply.

2. Follow dietary regimen. It’s advisable to have meals at the same time, four times a day with 4-5 hour intervals.

3. The calorie content of your ration should be sufficient to cover our energy demands, but not excessive.

4. Finally, eat fresh and good products.

Thermal oxidizer equipment lessens hazardous pollutants

2010-04-17T13:43:00.001-07:00

Recently many plants have referred to the thermal oxidizer service that became an integral part of the whole process. Apparently thermal oxidizers have been approved by many environmentalists, because they became a great way to reduce air pollution caused by hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Thermal oxidizer equipment basically makes a great many industrial processes less harmful for the environment.

The operating principle is based on high-temperature thermal oxidation. Emitted dense exhaust gases get into the thermal oxidizer, where a chemical reaction takes place. These hazardous particles react with oxygen at a high temperature, which converts them into non-hazardous emissions like carbon dioxide (CO2), heat and water vapor. Therefore this reaction is known as a thermal oxidation.

There are four different types of thermal oxidizers, and they differ in their basic operating principle. So they are regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTO), direct flame oxidizers (they use flames), non-flame oxidizers (instead of flames they use slow heating to burn pollutants) and recuperative thermal oxidizers. One can choose a thermal oxidizer according to his preferences and finances.

Regenerative thermal oxidizers, unlike recuperative ones, regenerate up to 95% of energy proceeded from the oxidation process. Harmless emissions are released to the environment through ceramic heat transfer platforms, which lowers operating costs. RTO consists of heat exchange media, system fan, burner, motor, PLC based system controls, temperature recorder, flow control valves and exhaust stack. Recuperative thermal oxidizers act like heat exchangers; they transfer heat from the outtake air stream to the intake air stream.

To sum up, thermal oxidizer equipment destroys process gases containing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) converting them into innocuous emissions – water vapor, heat and CO2 (carbon dioxide).

There’s a lot of information on the Internet about thermal ozidizers of all types. You can also purchase one online.

WWF struggles against Peruvian poachers

2010-02-02T00:19:00.001-08:00

A wide swath of the Amazon in Lima, Peru needs protection. These pristine territories are home for various unique animals, birds and even indigenous communities.

The Peruvian National Protected Areas Service promised to allocate a budget of USD 280.000 for creating and upkeep of guarding bands. The bands will control the whole large area that is even larger than El Salvador, which comprises the Purus Communal Reserve and the Alto Purus National Park.

For years poachers have damaged the beauties of the Amazon, especially they brought a lot of harm to forests, inhabited by endangered animals. Mahogany has been the main reason of illegal logging. WWF took care of the precious area, having made it protected officially since 2004.

Russian Baikal lake endangered

2010-01-31T02:38:00.001-08:00

Russian police took a rigid step against an environmental group, which had disputed a plan of reopening a paper mill near Lake Baikal, also known as the “Pearl of Siberia”.

The police claimed that the raid was held in order to find out the purpose of using unlicensed software. Therefore, the environmental group was left without their computers. The main problem is the shut paper mill. It was closed in 2008 by the president Vladimir Putin due to pollution fears.

Scores of environmentalists did their best to keep the plant closed. Nevertheless, the plant management believes that it’s possible to operate the mill without causing any harm to the lake.

Recycle your computer

2010-01-31T00:10:00.001-08:00

In Olympia, Washington DC, an E-Cycle even took place. This enormous act was about recycle of millions pounds (around 39) of electronic devices like TV sets, monitors and computers.

The E-Cycle operation, regulated by the State Department of Ecology, started off on the 1^st of January 2009 and was considered the first biggest within the state collection of out-of-work televisions, monitors, laptops and many other gadgets. The event was supported by manufacturers of electronic devices.

The first year of the program was efficient as almost 4 million pounds of computers, 22.2 million pounds of TVs and 12.3 pounds of monitors were recycled.

However, this huge recycling is quite harmful for the environment, because all these e-gadgets contain hazardous chemical substances

Statistics of deaths due natural disasters over the past decade

2010-01-30T01:57:00.001-08:00

I found these shocking facts on the Internet that prove that a human isn’t almighty yet. According to the overall statistics, about 60% of people were killed in nature disasters. Twenty percent of which died due to storms. The Centre for Research on Epidemiology stated that more than 790,000 people were killed by 3,852 disasters.

The biggest amount of deaths took place in Asia, almost 85%. The Asian tsunami in 2004 killed more than 230,000 people.

Earthquakes are dreadful. They bring the biggest number of victims. The earthquake in Haiti killed more than 100,000 and left around 200,000 of Haitians without accommodation. _________________________________

What’s going on? Why does Mother Nature makes millions of people suffer? Perhaps, she's taking her revenge for our cruel attitude toward her.

Kepler caught five new planets

2010-01-28T14:52:00.001-08:00

Striking news! Five new planets were detected by NASA’a telescope called Kepler. The space telescope was designed to target Earth-like planets.

The planets are known to have a much bigger size than that of the Earth. The fifth planet, named 8b, is similar in size to Neptune. The other four ones exceed the size of Jupiter.

Scientists were surprised by the speed the planets spin around their stars, which is very high. The planets are extremely hot as well, for instance, two of them are as hot as lava.

Food allergy vs food intolerance

2009-11-24T11:14:00.001-08:00

If your stomach gets upset after drinking milk and eating shrimps make your skin itchy, it means you are either allergic or intolerant to this particular kind of food. Studies have shown that most of us believe that such symptoms determine food allergy. However a majority of Americans can’t tell you the difference between food allergy and food intolerance. Therefore, wrong treatment methods may be chosen.

In fact, the main difference is in seriousness of these disorders: allergies may cause even death while food intolerance brings some discomfort. An allergy is a very important issue that affects almost all sides of our life. Imagine yourself being on a strict diet all the time! Imagine a child not eating milk and eggs which means not eating cakes and other sweet things. How do you find a birthday party without a delicious cake?

Food allergy

A food allergy occurs when our body does not recognize a certain item and mistakes it as foreign or dangerous substance. Therefore the body starts to fight against the substance, producing antibodies. The antibodies make our immune system react. The reaction is rush, swollen tongues or lips, dizziness or itchiness.

Food intolerance

Food intolerance has no connection with out immune system. It’s just that our digestive system lacks some component that is needed to digest certain food. Food intolerance can cause diarrhea, bloating and gas.

Being slim on Christmas day

2009-11-23T15:46:00.001-08:00

Christmas is coming up and I consider it important to talk on how to preserve your figure and not to gain lots of extra lbs during this holiday. Restricting yourself and not eating your favourite treats is not the right decision.

Don’t pounce on food

If you go to some party where a buffet will be, keep in mind the main rule: do not come there starving. Have a snack (it can be vegetable soup or vegetable salad) before you go. When you get there, I suggest you starting with low-cal food (again, vegetables or fruit are the best option) to fill your stomach a bit. Then switch to such food as chicken breasts or seafood like prawns or tuna. If you want to have a piece of bread, let it be brown or granary bread. Avoid eating white bread, garlic bread, sausages, mayo, potato, peanuts and cheese.

On Christmas day itself

It’s estimated that the average Brit consumes about 7,000 calories on Christmas Day. No wonder that after this holiday most women find it difficult to fit into their clothes such as jeans and pants. Firstly, don’t forget to have a substantial breakfast. It will be good for your stomach and won’t let you get hungry already in the morning and think of nothing but food. Breakfast also preserves you from overeating at lunch. In order not to long for high-cal food, drink a lot of water before the main meal – not less than 2 liters. Of course, Christmas can’t be celebrated without alcohol. However, do not forget that it has lots of calories in it. Nevertheless, if you want to get more fun, don’t forget to drink a glass of tap water before drinking alcohol – it will make you feel better in the morning.

Healthy lifestyle depends on your activities

2009-05-02T11:46:00.001-07:00

“A sound mind in a sound body” fables the famous proverb. Unfortunately, we forget about this saying that is actually a key to health and well-being. How is this statement applied to our life?

First of all, healthy way of living affects our mood. You may have noticed that after doing some physical exercises you feel cheerful and full of energy. It happens because such chemical substances as endorphins flow to our blood and promote a feeling of well-being and also raise our mood (endorphins are also called the hormones of happiness). So sports is always worth doing, especially nowadays when the ecological situation is not satisfying. With each breath harmful air particles get into our body and therefore in our blood. When we do sports the blood circulation increases and our cells get more oxygen. And besides that, when the blood flow increases, all these harmful particles get washed out of the blood faster.

It’s not hard to exercise. There are scores of sports facilities at your disposal. You can jog or ride your bicycle, ski or skate in winter, play basketball or swim – it’s up to you! But if it’s raining outside or you simply don’t want to get dressed and go to a gym hall then you can purchase some exercise equipment. Machines for vibration exercise are currently gaining more and more popularity. They are easy to use, compact and highly effective. When working out on a vibration machine it:

· Increases your blood flow

· Makes you stronger

· Increases your muscle flexibility

· Provides your cells with more oxygen

· Improves your mood

· Improves your overall health condition

Vibration machines can be placed at home, even if you live in a small apartment. Moreover, vibration machines can be found in fitness centers as well.

Apart from going in for sports, eating well is also a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle. The fact that we’re always in a hurry leads to consuming a lot of junk food – sandwiched, hamburgers, pizzas etc. And often we’ll prefer buying coke and food from McDonald’s to buying fruit. Actually, eating healthy food is not more expensive, as many people think. What is more expensive: buying a pack of rice or some Italian pizza? If you follow this 4 simple advice, your overall well-being will improve, you’ll feel it:

· Eat fruit every day or at least several days a week. Don’t forget that “An apple a day keeps a doctor away”;

· Add more veggies to your daily diet;

· Eat low-fat diary;

· Avoid eating junk food and drinking soda (you also gain weight).

The future of solar energy

2009-04-02T09:16:00.001-07:00

The future of solar energy as of an alternative energy is supposed to be very promising. Solar energy is on the list of renewable sources of energy along with tidal power, wave power, wind power and hydro power. However hydro energy can only be generated at hydropower plants, while solar energy can be received by a human with the help of special solar panels that are settled on roof tops. That’s why we say that the future of solar energy is bright. You don’t need to live near an ocean and have a hydropower plant nearby. All you need is solar panels and a roof.

Many people are mistaken about how those panels work. They believe that those solar panels convert the light of the sun into energy. However, solar thermal works in a different way. It mainly converts the heat of the sun with the solar radiation into solar energy.

The future of solar energy is connected with the future of our environment. Usage of solar energy does not pollute the environment, it’s absolutely harmless. There is another huge advantage of solar energy – it is much cheaper. The time when most houses will be heat or cooled with solar energy, and when you’ll prefer using solar energy to heat the water will finally come.

Bottled spring water influences your health

2009-01-03T11:00:00.001-08:00

There are 9 main reasons why it's healthy to drink bottled spring water:

1. Weight loss. Bottled spring water is one of the best ways to lose weight, because very often we prefer to drink soda, alcohol and coke that are high-calorie instead of purified water or spring bottled water. Besides, water suppresses the feeling of hunger. Quite often we happen to think we’re hungry, but we’re just thirsty.

2. Healthy heart. Usage of spring bottled water reduces a probability of getting a heart attack. Six year researches have shown that those people who drink about six glasses of bottled spring water a day are 40% less likely to get a heart attack, then those who drink 2 glasses of water.

3. Energy. Even a moderate dehydration can make you feel weak and tired. If you want to drink that means you are already dehydrated, which can lead to muscular tiredness. Bottled spring makes you feel cheerful and full of energy.

4. Medicine for headache. When having a headache there is a great medicine – a glass of bottled spring water. Firstly, you will get a water supply. Secondly it will cure your headache, since quite often a lack of water supply causes a headache.

5. Elastic and healthy skin. In fact, it’s not that soon that you’ll notice the difference. But if you get into the habit of drinking bottled spring water every day, the difference will be noticeable in a while.

6. Poor digestion. A human’s digestive system needs a lot of water for flawless work. Bottled spring water is also good for those people who suffer from high stomach acidity.

7. Toxins. Doctors advise to consume more purified or bottled spring water to get rid of harmful substances and toxins in your organism.

8. Cancer. People drinking more water are 45% less likely to get a cancer of the digestive tract, than those who drink little water. Besides, the risk of getting a cancer of urinary bladder and mammary gland reduces at 50%.

9. Sports. Dehydration can become a significant obstacle for doing sports. Because of the general tiredness you may be unable to manage the workload, which is likely to lead to injuries. A glass of bottled spring water before your training is just what the doctor ordered.

What’s the difference between smart and very smart people?

Smart	Very Smart
Find a way out of any situation	Try to avoid the occurrence of such situation
Purify water with all possible ways	Don’t pollute water
Use water filters	Drink natural spring water containing all needed elements
Use all possible medicine for treatment	Don’t let any illness to come over them. Lead a healthy life-style, eat natural foods, drink spring water

Facts about spring water and spring water delivery

2009-01-01T11:10:00.001-08:00

Statistics and facts say…

People have always been concerned about their health. They’ve asked the same eternal question: How to be healthy and stay young for a long time? Obviously, it’s not medicine that will always maintain your health level. There is well-known a proverb “An apple a day keeps a doctor away”. I would like to make up my own proverb that sounds like “A glass of water a day keeps illnesses away” and more likely it’ll be true. Because according to the statistics:

a human body consists of 70-80% of water
about 1,5 million deaths from diarrhea are caused by a lack of water supply
about 1 billion people over the world drink unhealthy water
polluted drinking water leads to 5 million deaths a year

The benefits of drinking spring water

However, it’s not tap water that preserves you from various illnesses.
