These will all help to give your life a new focus and help you feel better.

Keep physically active. Join a gym or take regular walks or jogs. Dancing is excellent. As you move energetically your body will release endorphins which are natures medicine for making us feel better again. Also feeling fit and in shape can work wonders on your self esteem.

One of the worse things you can do if you are trying to heal a broken heart is to turn into a recluse. You may not feel like seeing people especially if your broken heart is coupled with humiliation. However, too much time too yourself will just enable you to nurse bad feelings and your broken heart may quickly turn into depression.

Flyin’ High Through the Cloud Forest

May 31st, 2009
by Daniel Q. Floyd

An interesting character was presented to me yesterday on the bus. It was one of those times that it felt that a message was coming to me from the Universe. It was like he was brought to me to send me on some sort of adventure. At the time, I was traveling from the capital city of Costa Rica, San Jose to the Cloud Forest community in Monteverde. We had both boarded the bus at the Alajuela Bus central. The was that we got on was filled with people.

I noticed that there was only one seat on the whole bus available. I worked my way towards it, carrying a big back pack through a ver narrow walkway. As I got closer I put the backpack on the overhead container and then took a seat. I was so happy that I did not have to stand up for the whole trip! The man sitting next to me warned me to keep my eye on my stuff. Apparently there are problems with people taking your stuff if you are not careful.

I am no fool, and I gladly took his warning and kept very present to my things while at the same time talking to this interesting fellow. He mentioned that his name was Jeff, and that he had lived by the Cloud Forest in Monteverde for over 12 years. In turns out that he came to Monteverde as a backpacker, just like me. He came because he was told that there was employment available for guides that spoke English and Spanish. He was lucky enough to come to Monteverde and find work as a Zip Line guide. we had great fun talking for the whole ride about all the experiences he had had.

When he first arrived there was only one Zip Line operating. It was called the Original Canopy Tour company which birthed the whole industry. The designer of this tour attempted to patent the whole thing, but was unsuccessful. This was the birth of the zip line tour industry in Monteverde.

Jeff explained that the feeling of moving through the canopy is a rush of joy and fright. There is something about the idea of experiencing those very physical , Fight or Flight feelings while in the setting of a deep jungle that wakes the animal instincts, he told me. That experience, surrounded by such a new perspective.. above the forest, in the canopy, is unsettling and altogether unique.

I really appreciate these experiences that provide me with a new way to see things. So I decided to go check out the Zip Line tour company which he recommended to me. I figure, hey I am on vacation, I want to experience the extreme! I want to feel the excitement of flying through the forest in a way that humans, until now, had never done before.

Well it was absolutely amazing I must say. Nothing that Jeff said could have prepared me for the feeling I had the first time I jumped from one of those platforms. I really did fly through the forest! It was so beautiful to see things at the canopy level. If you go to Costa Rica I totally recommend checking out one of these Canopy tour experiences.

Saving the Worlds Water Supply

May 31st, 2009
by Tal Potishman

The worlds water supply is receiving significant attention recently, and with good reason. Water is our most precious resource, but it has been mismanaged, wasted, and poorly distributed for decades, leading to shortages in many areas of the world. The worlds population today consists of more than six billion people, which is double the population in 1950. Water usage across the globe has tripled during this same time, leading to the current statistic indicating that one-third of the worlds population lives in water-deprived situations. Many cities experiencing significant growth lack the infrastructure to handle the water and sewage needs for their expanding populations.

The worlds agriculture industries use most of the worlds available fresh water. There is room for improved water conservation in the agricultural sector, and new methods are required to ensure adequate fresh water for crops. Loss of fresh irrigation water is common in the worlds hot and dry areas, while water and soil run off is common in the more moderate growing locations.

There is a need for research into possible alternatives for safe crop irrigation water, specifically ways to process healthy non-potable water. With a growing need for more fresh water in urban areas, there is more emphasis today on finding ways to use less of this water for agricultural purposes so that the water can be diverted to urban locations. Current estimates are that the amount of water required for crops can be decreased by fifty percent.

The International Water Management Institute announced that it is increasingly apparent that governments worldwide need to take action to assist with the water shortages across the globe. Water and sewage infrastructures, protection of the wetlands that act as water storage areas, the effects of tourism on water supplies, common habits that lead to water being wasted, and investigations into causes of water contamination are some of the topics that all nations need to examine to determine current procedures and possible improvement strategies.

In countries experiencing large swells in population along with water shortages, there have been some improvements in the area of water management. Billions of dollars have been invested by China, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia to improve current water systems and determine opportunities for water management development. Saudi Arabia has contracted work for replacing water pipelines and pinpointing necessary water management improvements, while the Chinese government has contracted work for building and improving water systems in addition to researching ways to treat and recycle water efficiently. The Algerian governments focal point is desalination plants.

The criticality of solving water issues around the globe has been realised. Worldwide awareness of the growing fresh water availability problem is a step in the right direction for correcting mistakes that have continued for many years.

A Window Gap Causes Costly Problems

May 31st, 2009
by Angie Meza

You might not think a window gap is a big problem, but it is. Although it’s a tiny opening, it is big enough to create an adverse airflow, which lowers the energy efficiency of your home. That translates into a significant increase in your home heating and cooling bills each month.

A window gap is common in old homes due to settling. But they can also occur in new homes due to poor window installation or an improper fit. And whether an old or a new house, if one window has a small opening, chances are all the other windows in your home do as well.

With a window gap, air from inside your home flows out and air outside flows in. This constant airflow causes an unstable temperature in your home. So if you set your thermostat at a desired temperature, your heating and cooling systems will be working extra hard to maintain it because the airflow is working against them.

There are numerous solutions for fixing a window gap. One effective and less costly way is a draft blocker. The insulated material is fitted tightly along your window sill and around the window frame to stop the air flow. It’s an easy, no installation, do-it-yourself job completed in a few minutes.

A window gap is not a good thing in the cold weather because it causes your heating system to come on often and to stay on longer to reach your home’s optimal temperature. That additional heat means a higher heating bill. Likewise, in the warm weather, your cooling system or air conditioners have to work more. That’s means higher utility bills as well. But by blocking the window opening, the resulted savings each year can be as much as 25% of your energy bills.

A draft stopper needs to be durable in order for it to work effectively. One that is made from super strong polypropylene on the exterior and heavy duty insulating filler material, like finely ground corn cob, in the interior, works best on a window gap. These materials are also flexible enough to be shaped around the window sill and frame.

A draft blocker is a simple and cost effective window gap fix that requires no maintenance beyond a quick washing now and then. They are around 3 inches wide by 42 inches long and fit a standard size window and some custom sized ones. There’s no installation fixtures, simply put them in place so they fit snuggly round the window frame and sill.

Although it’s a small opening, a window gap can cause serious water damage during a hurricane, heavy rainstorm, or snowstorm. But an absorbent sock can prevent water from seeping in, especially large amounts at a time during a continuous downpour or windswept rain. It is an inexpensive fixture that can absorb and contain up to a gallon of water at one time. It can be used over and over again with little maintenance needed.
