Trekking with a Silva Compass

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 by Lena

A five-day trek to Point Lenana in Mt. Kenya National Park can be done with or without porters and tour guides but without a map, an array of gadgets or even the sun and the moon, one can surely get lost. 

According to a research scientist, Jan Souman, at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, people do walk in circles and have a tendency to get lost without the proper training and equipment.  The scientist and his team sent test subjects out in a German forest and the Sahara desert to find out if they could walk in a straight line.  One group were set out on sunny days and another group on cloudy days and at night.  The groups were observed via GPS over the course of hours.  Those walking under the sun kept a relatively straight course but once the sun was out, they began to walk aimlessly even though they believed they maintained their pace.

Monday, December 28th, 2009 by macinger84

There is not anything quite as if the sound of a summer zephyr in leaves, the sight of a dazzling stream in the sun, or the sounds of birds chirping and animals scurry through the bushes.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Women

Friday, December 18th, 2009 by Lena

gifts-for-women_birthday gifts_unique gift ideas_decorative livingChristmas is one of the rare times of the year when we think of others more than we think of ourselves.  During this time, we are consumed about what gifts we could give or how we are going to express our love or appreciation to our friends and relatives.  We are so selfless at this time that we brave the traffic and the crowds in the malls to buy gifts and trinkets to give away.

Sometimes, though, we get stumped.  We get confused and do not know what to get.  This is especially so if you are buying gifts for the opposite sex, as you are never quite sure what they would like to have for Christmas.

Do your part, reduce, reuse and recycle

Friday, December 4th, 2009 by macinger84

Recycling engrosses gathering goods that have attained the end of their existence and handing them or their elements into components to assemble fresh goods. The three Rs of environmentalism are reduce (consumption), reuse (and/or repurpose), and recycle.

Reduce plastic usage, recycling isn't that simple

Recycling is not that green as compared to reducing or reusing, as that does not produce greenhouse gases, aim to reuse and reduce first and principally. Broken glass can be changed into bottles by recycling, but it is supposed to go through a mechanized procedure to get there, and that procedure uses energy. In a perfect world, the power would be produced using renewable supply such as hydro, wind, and solar power with the intention that the recycling procedure is entirely green. However, in the actual world, that is not generally, how it works.
