Not even one of those highly complex computerized electric razors you need an advanced degree in  electrical engineering to operate, just a plain old manual model with which I could joyfully hack away at my face. It was not to be. Now, Im a simple guy. I try to abide by the aptly named Occams razor principle of science, which basically says that the simpler things are, the better. Now I find myself wondering just how many blades Occams razor had. I dont know if youve noticed, but the evolution of manual razors seems to be roughly following the same path as home stereo equipment. In the fifties, you had a razor with just one blade, just as you had a transistor radio with that one tinny-sounding speaker. Then came the invention of stereo, and the two bladed razor was born. Two speakers and a subwoofer, three blades. Quadrophonic sound, four blades. Now we are up to Dolby 5.1 surround sound and a razor with an incredible five blades on one side and one on the other. Thats right, there are now so many blades on your razor that they cant even fit them all on the same side. Where will it end? Is there a theoretical limit on the number of blades one razor can support? I, for one, believe that we are very close to the blade event horizon. Critical mass has almost been reached. It used to be that I would occasionally give myself a slight nick while shaving. One false move now and Ill be getting tips from Michael Jackson on which nose to buy. Perhaps the razor companies just dont understand the concept. Maybe someone needs to tell them that we are just trying to take the hair off of our faces, not make julienne potatoes for a society luncheon while we shower. Its only a matter of time before someone comes out with a razor that has one blade for every hair follicle on your face, so you can shave with just one stroke and then spend the rest of the morning trying to find your lips. No more, I say. Its time to release myself from the tyranny of blades. This morning I gave myself a clean , comfortable shave without using any blades at all. Now I just need a new string for my weed whacker meri saheli magazine subscription buy.

Nowadays, there is a trend that encourages mostly the practices for maintaining a healthy body, while the mind is left on the second place. Even so, mental illnesses are a reality and not few are those that suffer from affections that involve the mind and the soul. There is one more important thing to say on the part of the mental health: a healthy body cannot be maintained without a healthy mind. A difficulty that is often encountered when dealing with mental illnesses consists of the lack of very clear symptoms. When we suffer from a physical ailment, we often confront ourselves with all kinds of signs. We know that if something hurts, we must see the doctor or take a medical examination. But when our soul hurts, things are not quite as simple. Even so, feeling sad or depressed for days may be a sign of alarm, especially if there are no reasons why we should feel that way. Depression is one of the most widespread mental ailments. It is not very serious if it is given the proper attention. Taking medication under the doctors supervision and following a healthy way of life can lead to notable improvements in the patients mental health. Other very common mental illnesses are phobias. There are many kinds of phobia, some more serious, some less. A phobia consists of an irrational fear connected to even the more mundane things. Some people are afraid of open spaces; others cannot get into an elevator. Fear of crowds, fear of spiders and fear of driving are just examples of phobias. Some people can live with phobias without interrupting their lives, while some can get to the point of being incapable of interaction with other human beings or leading a healthy life. Fortunately, phobias can be treated through medication and therapy. Most of the time, the role of noticing that a person is suffering from depression or other mental illnesses belongs to the family. The afflicted man or woman can develop some strange habits, like eating too much or too little, disorganized sleep or anger outbursts when least expected. In such cases, the relatives must take the patient to a doctor in order to take the proper medication and live a healthy life like everybody else. The suffering person may respond differently to treatments. The doctor may try different medications until finding out what is the best for the patient. After that, things become clearer and the patient can enjoy a healthier life. Also, the patients relatives must work with the doctor in order to assure the ill person a proper environment to get healthy. The family can provide the suffering man or woman the proper care and understanding during the treatment. Because some of the illnesses involve long treatments and therapy, the familys support and love are very important for the patient. The afflicted person can cope better with the ailment when feeling surrounded by loving and caring friends and family. As mental illnesses belong to the mind and the soul, within lies the strength of overcoming them and that can only be done in a friendly and supporting environment  gk in hindi buy.

Pratiyogita darpan e magazine Published this article page no 21 I was disturbed to read today that the frogs from the Tasek Chini were no longer singing. They have practically disappeared. This may not seemed strange to you, in fact, you may not have any idea where Tasek Chini is . After all, it "was" a beautiful large mass of freshwater lake in the tropical forests of Malaysia. It "was" because it now no longer is beautiful as it was, with pollution levels reportedly 56 times higher than is considered healthy, and worse, this is right inside the tropical jungle. The frogs are not the only ones disappearing. The fishes, cobras, pythons are also diminishing in numbers. Weeds called the "Cats Tail" have proliferated, snuffing out important sunlight that would allow organisms to grow. This is worrying enough for some concrete action to be taken to revive the ecosystem.  In retrospect, how can action be taken to protect the environment, or a delicate ecosystem such as Tasek Chini, or any other lake in the world? Here at Tasek Chini I read about the Sustainable Development Network or SUSDEN which is running the Save Tasik Chini Campaign since August 2004, and these are remedial steps taken by the authorities and the Non Government organisations in concert to step the decline: 1. Collect and remove fallen trees and weeds that choke the lake 2. Reduce the pollution that comes from newly developed training camps for National Service that have been built near the lake 3. Reduce the industrial pollution from nearby oil palm estates that bring fertilisers and pesticides into the lake 4. Stop illegal logging activities near the lake 5. Disallow opening of land within the forest near the lake 6. Introducing programs to empower the aborigines called Jakun living in the surrounding areas of the lakes so that they continue to live there with their traditional resources that are linked to biodiversity conservation. Most important of all is education to children on the importance of the lake and introduce them to the lifestyle of the aborgines living off the land surrounding the lake. These aborigines lived in harmony with the animals, plants and environment and they ensure the survival of the lake. Now if you do have a lake in your area where you are living, ensure that the frogs stll sing.  Frogs are a good barometer of the environment. Frogs are declining due to habitat destruction, contamination, predation and genetic pollution. Will the frogs sing again at Tasek Cini? We do not know yet, but there is one thing we do know. Irregardless of where we are, if we save the frogs, we may be able to save our lives too pratiyogita darpan monthly magazine buy.

Junior science refresher Published this article page no 08 North Americans account for less than 10% of the worlds population, yet we produce 50% of the worlds garbage and consume more than 33% of its resources. If everyone consumed like the average North American, we would require three Earths! Authors Dave and Lillian Brummet offer an upbeat, proactive look at waste and resource management with their inspiring new book Trash Talk. They explain that every one of us can do something to help our world - starting right where we are, right now. Trash Talk is not a quick fix solution - it is about changing consumers mind-sets by providing ideas that inspire participation from the ground level. Not everyone can afford to donate cash or time to a cause but by implementing the concept of Trash Talk, the average person can make small alterations in their lives that affect positive changes for the Earth. Canadian writers Dave and Lillian Brummet reside in the southwest region of British Columbia. Their work has appeared in a variety of Canadian publications. In addition, the Brummets also wear many other hats - as gardeners, seed savers, cooks, photographers, business owners and outdoor enthusiasts. Ultimately, it is a love of nature and healthy living that is the major driving force and inspiration for their many projects. Their website (http://www.sunshinecable.com/~drumit) has a page of links to like-minded organizations where one can learn modern waste management techniques. The upcoming Tip of the Month page will provide readers with insightful reduction and reuse ideas. "...An effective well-researched book... Embraces waste as a resource that creates jobs and new products... Head-and-shoulders above other environmental texts. " ~ Sherry Russell, Midwest Book Review (USA) "Trash Talk is easy to read...a positive approach to managing waste...a valuable guide for anyone concerned about their impact on the environment." ~ Georgina Bloomfield, Waste and Resources Campaigner, Friends of the Earth (UK) "...This is something that should be in every household...a good reference on providing reducing and reusing tips without being preachy" ~ Tim A Dueck, Public Education Coordinator, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (Canada) "I was recently expressing concern to a friend about the environmental state of our planet....how I feel as though I cant make a difference. Well, now I have access to the information you are sharing and know that I can. Thank you!" ~ Yvonne Caldwell, Library Cataloguer, Okanagan University (Canada) junior science refresher magazine buy.

junior science refresher Published this article page no 07 Of course, some of us live in areas where we get plenty of rain all year around, maybe even too much. However, in other areas water supplies can run low quickly, especially in summer. So, it is all of our responsibilities to conserve this essential natural resource when we can. And even if we are a little careful with our water usage habits, we can make a big difference. Here is some advice on how you can conserve water around the home. In the kitchen  See if you can redirect waste water from the kitchen sink to the garden. Also, use a bowl when washing dishes so you dont just leave the tap running.  If you have a dishwasher wait until you have a full load and use the economy cycle, again reducing the amount of water used.  Also before putting the dirty plates etc. into the dishwasher, scrape the leftovers into the bin rather than rinsing under the running tap.  Wait until there is a full load before washing your dirty clothes and front loaders use less water than top loaders. In the garden  Water your garden early in the morning or just before sunset.  This allows the water to be absorbed into the ground instead of evaporating in the hot sun if you water during the day.  Also the water droplets left on the leaves from the watering can damage your plants if the sun is too hot, so better wait until it cools down.  If you have directed your bathroom and kitchen water to the garden and connected to garden hoses around the garden, puncture the hoses with holes which will allow the water to filter out from various places instead of from one end only.  This lets the water to penetrate to a deeper level and encourages the plant roots to grow longer and stronger, and therefore enhances the plants own search for water.  Water sprinklers are time-savers but do use huge quantities of water if left on for long periods of time.  It is said they use 300 – 650 litres of water an hour. If left on over night, thats a minimum of 2,400 litres! So, if you have to use them, please try only to use them for shorter periods of time and look for alternatives if possible.  Rain water is a free, natural and easy source of water. Get a large tank or water butt and place it where the roof water from your home runs off. This will fill quickly in a big rain and provide a great source of water for the garden, or even for washing. In the bathroom  Flushing a toilet can use between 12 - 20 litres of water, so put a brick or a plastic bottle filled with water into the toilet cistern and this will reduce the water you use.  Or you can install dual flush toilets where you can opt for a small or a large flush.  Up to 4.5 litres of water is wasted when we brush our teeth because most people leave the tap running.  Turn the tap off when cleaning your teeth or, even better, have a bottle of water and a glass near the basin and use these to rinse instead of running the tap every time you brush.  Showers are much more environmentally friendly than baths. Even if you use the shower,  you may still be able to reduce the amount of water you use.  Install a low-flow shower head if you can get one.  Also, spray taps release smaller amounts of water but do the same job as a normal tap and these can be fitted to your bathroom and kitchen sinks.  Throw your rubbish in the bin and not down the toilet.  Consider ways to get water from the shower to the garden and use this water for your plants. These tips are not only directed at private households but to businesses as well.  If you own or manage a business, or even if you feel your employer could do better when it comes to conserving water, try to use some of these methods at work. It is in all our interests that we have a plentiful and reliable supply of water. If you introduce these habits and measures slowly into your routine you will find that it really will have no impact on your day-to-day life, but you will save a lot of water junior science refresher magazine buy.

junior science refresher Published this article page no 06 April is Earth Month, a time for people to stop and think about how they can do their part to help the environment. According to Environmental Defense, a leading nonprofit organization committed to protecting the environment, the United States is ranked the No. 1 global warming polluter. What can you do to help change that? Here are some small steps that you can take every day toward becoming a more conscious consumer:  Buy in bulk. Its cheaper in the long run, and you buy more of the product and less of the packaging.  Look at the businesses you buy from. Does your coffee shop recycle? Does your rental car agency have hybrids? Businesses take note of consumers questions; your inquiry could be the one to tip the scale and make a change.  Make an appointment for the Earth. At participating Aveda salons, a minimum of $1 will be directed to Avedas Earth Month partners when customers make appointments for a haircut, style, massage or facial.  Support your local farmers. Farmers markets are where some of the healthiest and freshest food can be found. By supporting farmers in your own community, youre doing your own body good and cutting down on carbon dioxide emissions of food transportation.  Recycle! Plastic comes from crude oil and paper comes from trees. By recycling just these two items in your household, youre helping to save two of the Earths valuable resources and reducing your homes carbon dioxide emissions.  Pay your bills online. It saves stamps, paper, fuel for mail transport and ultimately saves you money.  Purchase thoughtful gifts. Avedas limited edition Light the Way candle, for example, is made with certified organic rose geranium and helps support organic farms in South Africa. All proceeds from the candle will go to organizations working to save threatened and endangered species.  Think "eco-fashion." A number of designers are now using clothing materials that go beyond organic cotton, such as biodegradable fabrics and fibers made of recycled plastics.  Spread the word. If you find a "green" product or company that you like, tell your friends. Consumers can use their collective purchasing power to spearhead change junior science refresher magazine buy.
