Photo essay: Where children sleep | The Lookout Recently, the charitable organization Save the Children asked documentary photographer James Mollison to come up with an idea to get people thinking about the rights of children around the world. What he came up with was an unusual, but powerful project: a photo essay of more than 200 children and their bedrooms, called "Where Children Sleep." "I found myself thinking about my bedroom: how significant it was during my childhood, and how it reflected what I had and who I was," Mollison, who was born in Kenya, writes. Mollison photographed the child's bedroom and the child separately, juxtaposing the two photos.

Economic Background Influences Type of Teen Deliquency A teen’s economic background influences choices regarding sexual behavior and alcohol consumption. New research suggests that youths from low-income backgrounds are more likely to begin having sex at younger ages, while teens from families with middle-class income may begin drinking earlier. “Significant group differences indicated stronger associations between adolescent delinquency and each young adult outcome for youth from low-income compared to those from middle-income backgrounds,” writes W. Alex Mason of the Boys Town National Research Institute in Nebraska, and his colleagues. Childhood delinquency has always been a controversial subject, and many have postulated different theories about what factors might contribute to its development. Clearly certain mental health issues may play a role, as well as substance abuse, family problems, and socioeconomic factors. Statistical modeling was used to measure the associations between income and behaviors. APA Reference Jones, J. (2010).

DIY: How To Grow Your Own Fresh Air Air Quality Published on March 26th, 2009 | by Jerry James Stone According to GreenSpaces, these three plants not only lead to fresher indoor air…but also an increase in productivity! GreenSpaces has tested these plants for the past 15 years in a 20 year old, 50,000 ft2 building with over 300 occupants, and 1,200 plants! So how does this increase productivity? Some info on the plants: Areca Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) Works well in the day timeGreat for living areasOne needs about 4 shoulder high plants/personNeeds to be put outdoors once every 3-4 monthsThe leaves of the plant need to be wiped everyday in Delhi and perhaps once a month in a cleaner cityThe soil used should be of vermi manure or use hydroponics Mother-in-law’s Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata) Converts CO2 into O2 at nightOne requires about 6-8 such waist high plants per person in the bedroomLeaves need to be wiped in the same way as the Areca PalmThe soil used should be of vermi manure or use hydroponics Related Posts:
