Горькое похмелье Дня полиции :: NoNaMe Healing the Body with Mindfulness of Breathing This excerpt from a talk by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh explains how to use mindfulness of breathing to bring loving-kindness to our dear bodies. The physical effect of this can be truly remarkable. As Thây says, “You should really love your body. You should really take care of your body. Mindful breathing, with rest, can do miracles. The First Exercise of Mindful Breathing My dear friends, yesterday I spoke about the first exercise proposed by the Buddha concerning mindful breathing: “Breathing in, I am aware that I am breathing in; breathing out, I am aware that I am breathing out.” We should always start with our physical bodies, because our physical bodies also needs peace, harmony and rest. We should realize a true rest. Animals in the forest, every time they are wounded, know how to rest. Deep relaxation here is one of the methods of resting. The Second Exercise of Mindful Breathing Do not try to prolong the breath; just allow it to be the way it is, naturally. Like this:

Energy Saving Saving energy in the home can have a huge impact on reducing your carbon footprint. Water Heating, Renewable Energy, Heating and Cooling, Appliances, Lighting, Cooking. Water Heating Water heating is the second largest source of domestic greenhouse gas emissions after transport. Solar hot water systems do cost more than traditional electric and gas systems to install, but as water heating accounts for up to 40% of a households energy use, it does produce long term cost savings.

Water-Energy Toolkit: Understanding the Carbon Footprint of Your Water Use | River Network For a complete description of available tools, download: Water-Energy Toolkit: Understanding the Carbon Footprint of Your Water Saving water saves energy. But how much? While businesses and homes that use water will ultimately pay for the energy needed to pump and treat water through their water and sewer bills, few realize that these energy costs are typically on the order of 30%-60% of a city’s entire energy bill. River Network's 'Simple' Water-Energy Calculators River Network has developed a series of “simple” calculators and tools to help you find out how—and how much—we can reduce our carbon footprint through water efficiency. For step-by-step instructions on how to estimate the energy intensity of your water supply and wastewater treatment systems download: Estimating the Energy Intensity of Your Water: The 'Simple' Method (PDF).

Праща. Праща. Первым метательным снарядом человечества стал простой камень. Наш далекий предок быстро смекнул, что, метко бросив булыжник в голову врагу, можно пресечь конфликт на корню. Но вот незадача — если у противника в руках тоже камень, то противостояние снова переходит в стадию "у кого больше мышцы". Поэтому дальше метательное оружие развивалось уже в направлении увеличения расстояния воздействия, в итоге мы имеем баллистические межконтинентальные ракеты. ----------------------<cut>---------------------- Как и где изобрели пращу сегодня сказать уже невозможно. Прежде чем говорить о способах и тактике метания пращой, надо для начала разобраться с устройством. Сами ядра для пращи на первых порах предпочитали делать из камней . История с Давидом и Голиафом немало поспособствовала популяризации пращи в Средние века. Впрочем, и в Средневековье о праще не забыли. Экскурс по временам и народам. ИСХОДНАЯ СТОЙКА с пращой, удерживаемой над головой. Присоединяйтесь к доку!
Bosco Verticale: The World's First Vertical Forest Nears Completion in Milan - NEW PHOTOS Milan is one of the most polluted cities in the world, and the Bosco Verticale project aims to mitigate some of the environmental damage that has been inflicted upon the city by urbanization. The design is made up of two high-density tower blocks with integrated photovoltaic energy systems and trees and vegetation planted on the facade. The plants help capture CO2 and dust in the air, reduce the need to mechanically heat and cool the tower’s apartments, and help mitigate the area’s urban heat island effect – particularly during the summer when temperatures can reach over 100 degrees. The two towers measure 260 feet and 367 feet tall respectively, and together they have the capacity to hold 480 big and medium size trees, 250 small size trees, 11,000 ground-cover plants and 5,000 shrubs (that’s the equivalent of 2.5 acres of forest).
