Typical Undies For Junior High

AVOID THE USE OF PLASTIC BAGS

Green Campaign

According to "National Geographic News" (2003), an estimate by the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States, reveals that approximately consumed each year worldwide, between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags. Less than 1% of the bags is recycled: It's more expensive to recycle a bag than to produce a new one. According to Jared Blumenfeld, Director of the Department of the Environment in San Francisco,
"There's harsh economics behind bag recycling plastic bags. Process and recycle one ton of plastic bags cost $ 4,000 =: the same amount sold in the commodities market to $ 32 = ".

So ... Where Do They Go?

A study by the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, showed oceangoing vessels together dumped 8 million pounds of plastic into the sea every year. The reason why the world's landfills were not overflowing with plastic was because most ended up in the ocean.

Bags find their way to the sea from storm drains and pipes of the urban centers. The bags are carried to different parts of our land and to our seas, lakes and rivers. Plastic bags have been found floating north of the Arctic Circle near Spitzbergen, and even farther south, in the Falkland Islands. According to the Waste Monitoring Program of the U.S. Navy, plastic bags account for more than 10% of the waste arriving at the edge of the costs.

photodegrade plastic bags, with the passage of time is broken down into smaller petrochemical and toxic polymers which eventually contaminate soils and waterways. As a consequence microscopic particles can form part of the food chain. According to report from the WWF in 2005, the effect on wildlife can be catastrophic.

Nearly 200 different species of marine life including whales, dolphins, seals and turtles die from plastic bags. They die after ingesting plastic bags which they mistake for food.

So ... What do we do?

If we use a cloth bag, we can save 6 bags a week. That's 24 bags a month. In other words, 288 bags a year. That is, 22,176 bags during an average lifetime. If only 1 in 5 people in the U.S. did this, would save 1,330,560,000,000 bags over a lifetime.

Bangladesh banned plastic bags. China banned free plastic bags. Ireland was the first in Europe to tax plastic bags in 2002. Thus, reduced consumption by 90%. In 2005, Rwanda has banned bags plastic. Israel, Canada, western India, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Taiwan and Singapore have also banned or are in the process of banning plastic bags. On March 27, 2007, San Francisco became the first U.S. city. UU. to ban plastic bags.

Plastic bags are made from polyethylene: a thermoplastic that is obtained from petroleum. Reducing plastic bags will reduce the dependence on oil. China will save 37 million barrels of oil each year due to the ban on free plastic bags.

may do something drastic, cut the plastic!

AVOID THE USE OF PLASTIC BAGS.

Christopher Tolkien talks about Sigurd and Gudrun

Christopher Tolkien has broken his silence to respond via fax to Guardian.co.uk a series of questions about the latest posthumous publication of a work of his father JRR Tolkien : The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun.

In this series of questions and answers Christopher talks about the difficulty of writing alliterative verses that make up this story (with a metric very tight and sturdy), consisting of two long poems on which he says has not that perform most editing or proofreading work. Christopher comments that have been encouraged to publish this work now because he has had more time, since the end of The History of Middle-earth to prepare the edition. Christopher
shown
really concerned that this work is not anything like most fans, since it is not about Middle-earth (although see the powerful influence that this work influenced the later mythology that Tolkien created) and mainly because it is written in verse, with a complex structure.

also have time to discuss why he wrote The Silmarillion as he did: first, because he had agreed to do with his father, and secondly, because they show the evolution of mythology (as subsequently supplemented with work in The History of Middle-earth ) would confuse readers, so he decided to work on a text "principal" that show the essence of the work, selecting and arranging his father's original in which a He was a minimal coherence. "After its publication," he continues, "I began what at first was a purely private study, A History of The Silmarillion, a thorough investigation and analysis of each page and passage in the writings of my father, leaving no stone without lifting, and while it evolved over the years became greatly enlarged in the History of Middle-earth in 12 books, which finally finished in 1996. In this he reveals the relationship between The Silmarillion published and the vast mass of writings of which was derived - but, of course, there [are] all the reasons and justifications for how they conducted the work. "

About The Children of Húrin said that the intention was to publish his father's 3 of the stories of The Silmarillion in separate volumes, and the most complete and "easier" to edit was for Christopher, the story of Turin Turambar .

Finally, Christopher says he does not remember to have corrected the errors in The Hobbit as a child, although his father said in a of his letters that he did, "so it must be true." She remembers how his father sent him the original Lord of the Rings as the writing was, as Christopher was fighting in World War II.

A really interesting read. If anyone is encouraged to translate the entire interview, please send it to us or post in the forum for those who can not read English can read it.

You've Got a Friend - Got a Friend by Ilana Yahav

No more words to the art of this woman .... Art
perhaps fleeting, yes .... but what is not ultimately stay in perspective?
The work material is sand, but mostly it's that kind of creativity that opens not only art, but a way of making art.
As a metaphor for renewal toiled while comparing with the grains of sand, but from an innovative edge expression seems to speak of change, like a hand into the sun, the rain can do and perhaps re-do the sun ...
The music certainly is not bad.

Eco Homes - Natural Building Techniques with Comfort.

most likely agree that the Earth is a wonderful home, those who inhabit, live in it with little awareness that gives us plenty of resources from which, could not only degrade less, but bring with it without losing comfort.

In this sense, there may be an idea rooted in Most of us according to which, we believe that our welfare and comfort is an inevitable cost: pollution, prey in astronomical proportions, destroying and depleting the earth's resources in a nutshell.

Well, some people, more and more fortunately, is convinced that it is not so, that this is a mistake and it shows. They have developed natural building techniques, apart from which, basically, we can say that taking advantage of all environmental resources without breaking it, without destroying it. The video is a window into this way of understanding life. Jorge Belanko is one of the people on the basis of which such projects; is natural builder and teaches courses which teach the techniques of this type of construction. His instructional video called "Hands mud houses" , directed by Gustavo Marangoni is an invitation to seriously consider a new way of life. What we will see in the Bolson is located in the Patagonia Argentina, but in many parts of the world have similar experiences, which takes what you have on hand.

Exite a way of life that basically has the following behavior: enters a body to give this property, once housed, is reproduced indiscriminately until the organism that hosts it dies of exhaustion. Finally migrated to another agency to repeat the cycle.
This is the basic behavior of a virus. Any
semjanza to human behavior rests with the reader. The idea can be found in a famous movie ...

When I Buy The Projetor In Miami

- Carlos Castaneda and Toltec Knowledge

What follows below can be seen in some sense small provocations to our thinking, our way of conceiving the world and also the mindset ourselves. What follows are excerpts from three books of Carlos Castaneda, have the distinction of being the words of Don Juan were written as Castaneda. That mysterious "witch," "shaman," "nagual", "man of knowledge" as extrafalario at times as an absolute rationality in others. His statements still have the power of calling us to reflect on what we have built as a society and as individuals what we build in our lives. The words are eloquent and at the same time cracks species to the ancient world of the ancient Toltec Mexico; very brief glimpses that hint at the world of Don Juan Matus.

Silent Knowledge

... Witchcraft is the use of energy epecializado. View witchcraft from the point of view the common man is either an idiot or do an unfathomable mystery. The average man lacks the energy to deal with witchcraft ...

... Think again. Not that you are learning witchcraft, what you are doing is to save energy. Sorcery is a state of consciousness. Sorcery is the ability to perceive what the common perception can not grasp ...

... Impeccability is simply the best use of our energy ...

... For the wise man is incocebible there is an invisible point where the perception is embedded. And more inconceivable is that this point is not in the brain, as might be suppose if he were to accept the idea of \u200b\u200bits existence. The wise man in his abysmal ignorance, ignoring for example that witchcraft is not a matter of incantations and hocus-pocus, but it is about freedom to perceive not only the world that we take for granted, but everything that is humanly possible. ..

.. No witchcraft, no evil or the devil. There is only perception ...

.... The current position of the assemblage point is what makes the modern man is a selfish murderer, a totally trapped in his own image. Having lost all hope of returning to silent knowledge, man seeks comfort in his self. And it gets fixed its point of attachment to the most convenient place to perpetuate his image ...

.... The current position of the point of attachment to the man and the image of itself, require the assemblage point to assemble a world of false compassion, but very real cruelty and selfishness. In that world, the only real feelings are those who agree to have them. For the warlock not having compassion is not to be cruel. Not having compassion is the wisdom, the opposite of self-pity and self-importance ....

... The importance is that the assemblage point fixed ....

Tales of Power

... Sorcerers say that we are in a bubble. A bubble in which we are placed at the moment of our birth. At first it is open, but then begins to close until we have sealed inside. That bubble is perception. We live inside that bubble lifetime. And what we witness in its round walls is our own reflection ....

... The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The impeccable warrior seeks his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to their neighbors, while the warrior only depends on itself. Confidence means knowing anything with certainty; Humility means to be impeccable in their own actions and feelings ...

... Now I know the humility of the warrior is not the humbleness of a beggar. The warrior lowers his head to anyone, but at the same time does not allow anyone to bend his head to him ...

.... I like the humility of a beggar, "she said softly. Head down to the right ...

.... Changing our world view is the key to witchcraft. And the only way is to stop the internal dialogue ...

search ... Your failure is convenient explanations, explanations that fit you and your world ...

.... The world is as it is, just because we talk to ourselves about this is how it is ....

... A teacher does not press his apprentice. That just promote obsession and morbidity.

... So long ago I told you I do not understand what it must feel a teacher. I only know the humility of the warrior, and that I would never be the master of none ...

... Things are real only when one has learned to agree that they are real ...

.... That's the trouble with words. Always force us to feel enlightened, but when we turn to face the world will always fail us and we ended up facing the world as we've always done: without illumination. Therefore a precise witch act rather than talk, and to make it gets a new description of the world: a description in which speech is not so important and where new acts have new reflections ....

... You're like you because you tell yourself that you are well ...

... The life of a warrior can not in any way be cold and lonely and feeling, because it is based on affection, devotion, dedication to your loved one: The earth ...

... Only if one loves this earth with unbending passion can get rid of sadness. A warrior is always joyful because his beloved, the earth, embraces him and gives him inconceivable things. The sadness belongs only those who hate the same being granted asylum ...

Journey Ixtlan

... The first truth says that the world is as it seems and yet it is not. The world is an illusion as we have said is, is real and unreal some of the other ...

... living beings exist only to increase the awareness of being ...

... The reason is not the man for energy. Reason deals with instruments that create energy, but it has never seriously occurred to reason that we are better than instruments: we are organisms to create energy ...

... Death is our eternal companion. It's always on our left, an arm's length ...

... Death is the only wise adviser that we have. Every time you feel that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if it is true. Your death will tell you you're wrong, that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will say: "I have not played yet" ...

....¿ Why should the world as you think it is? Who gave you authority to say that? ...

... Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid ...

... A warrior takes responsibility for his actions. Even the most trivial. An average man never takes responsibility for what he does ...

... All ways are equal. Get us nowhere. So choose a path with heart! ...

... The art of a hunter is to become inaccessible. Be inaccessible means to play as much as possible the world around you. And that means no secrets to hide or walk. Nor does it mean you can not deal with people ... A hunter does not have routines ...

... Unfortunately the changes are very difficult and occur very slowly, a man sometimes takes years to realize the need to change ...

... Put your attention on the tie that binds you to your death, without remorse or sadness or worrying. Focus your attention on the fact that you do not have time and let your acts flow agree with that ...

... Seek perfection of the spirit of the warrior is the only task worthy ... The mood of a warrior is controlled while it is abandoned.

... A warrior may be damaged, but no offense. For a warrior there is nothing offensive about the acts of his fellows while he himself is in the right mood. Achieve the spirit of the warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. Puma considered equal to the water rats and our fellow is a magnificent act of the warrior spirit. It needs to be able to carry it out ....

... I'm as young as I want. If you're joining to your body can do amazing feats. In contrast, if dissipate power, you get old and fat of the overnight ...

... What determines the way one does anything is personal power. A man is the sum of his personal power, and that sum determines how he lives and how he dies ...

... A warrior is impeccable when he trusts his personal power regardless of the small or large ...

... Contemplate every path closely, then ask yourself this question: What brings me the heart for this route? If it does, then the path is good. If not, it's useless ....

.... the common man cares if things are true or false. The warrior. The common man if you say things are true, he acts and believes in what he does. But if they say they are not true, it matters not act or does not believe in what he does. A warrior acts in both cases. If you say things are certain acts to be done. If you say that certain acts are not doing ....

... Being a warrior is not just a question to desire. It is rather an endless struggle that will continue until the last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior like no man is ordinary. We who are to do one or the other ...
