Ozone Treatment?

Written by on May 28, 2008 – 2:18 am -

Talking to a friend, I come realize that many people believe in ozone treatment. It guarantees to rid your body of toxins, saying that ozone targets positively charged molecules, which toxins positively charged as well. Well, not just so called ‘toxins’ are positively charged.  If you know anything about chemistry, many things are positively charged, and whether it is or not doesn’t determine its toxicity.

The Fundamental Science

Written by on May 28, 2008 – 1:57 am -

Ever wonder why they call physics the fundamental science? We have biology, chemistry, and physics, the three main  branches of science. Chemistry is derived from physics; the chemical reactions are just electronic forces playing. Biology is derived from chemistry; how your body functions is based on chemical reactions. So the basis of all of it is physics, the fundamental theories that governs the universe.

All About Horses

Written by on September 21, 2007 – 3:06 pm -

Have you tried horse riding as sport? Have you always wanted to know all about horses? Horseriders.org offers all of these information and more! Here’s a brief excerpt of some informations they outline on the website:

Horse Diseases: If you own a horse, it’s important to be aware of illnesses and diseases that your horse may encounter. Speak to a veterinarian if you notice anything different in your horse’s behavior. Aside from diseases & illnesses, it is important to keep a first aid kit for horses for safety reasons. These first aid kits tend to include: scissors, gauze bandages, elastoplast, cotton roll, an antiseptic wash, some crepe cotton bandages, antibiotic powder and pressure pack spray, a clean bucket, a thermometer and iodine.

Interesting Horse Facts: If you feed a horse, you might notice that the horse is sniffing the food. Why is that? Just like other animals, they are smelling the food before they eat. This is their method of making sure what you’re giving them is edible. So, the next time you feed a horse, don’t be alarmed if your horse takes a while to sniff around your hand!

Horse back riding is not only fun, but it’s a great form of exercising. There are also other benefits from horse back riding because it also is used as a therapeutic treatment as well. Horses can also benefit the whole family with activities such as horseback riding holidays.

Fuel Efficiency - City Guidelines Proposal

Written by on September 9, 2007 – 7:45 pm -

City Planning Guidelines:
In terms of formulating a plan for addressing the issue of transportation and fuel emissions the following steps are suggested:
a.    Programs of Awareness – first, there needs to be a basic establishment where the public is aware of the problem with excess fuel emissions locally and globally. Ways to promote awareness include public announcements in media, such as radio and television along with banner space along public revenues such as bus shelters. Also, targeting the younger generations is key, and so awareness groups would visit schools across the country to give a brief presentation about how students can help reduce fuel emissions.
b.    Expand Alternative Transport - the route of subways would be expanded to include new stations in areas that are often traveled to, to encourage use of this mode. New placement of bus stops would also be put into place. Current stops that are not excessively used will have fewer buses in use. In addition, more bike racks would be put into various areas of the cities.
c.    Improvement of Buses - new prototypes of more energy-efficient buses would be put into play. Buses that have seats that are less wide and numerous to accommodate as many passengers as possible. There will also be testing of hydrogen fuel-cell technology which produces energy from electrochemicals that are more environmentally friendly. However, only highly used roads would use these new forms of transportation for the cost of manufactory is too high for complete usage.

Fuel Efficiency - City Planning Guidelines

A proposal:

City Planning Guidelines:
In terms of formulating a plan for addressing the issue of transportation and fuel emissions the following steps are suggested:

There will also be testing of hydrogen fuel-cell technology which produces energy from electrochemicals that are more environmentally friendly. However, only highly used roads would use these new forms of transportation for the cost of manufactory is too high for complete usage.
d.    Re-imaging the Transit System - training programs of employees would be held to help better the image of the transport commission making transit more appealing to take.
e.    Transport Ticket Costs - to receive the money to fund for the expansion of the transit system, tickets prices would have to drop to appeal to the average Canadian citizen. This could encourage more transit users, making up for the cost drop.
f.    Tax Exemption for Ethanol and Methanol – this would encourage the development and marketing of said materials in gasoline or diesel fuel. Ethanol and methanol are natural gases that prove less harming to the environment, where methanol is renewable. Previously, the entire fuel system cost ranged $300 per kW, but with mass manufacturing of these products, the number could reduce to $50 per kW.
g.    Sale of Alternative Technology - high-polluting countries are always on the look for solutions to their problem. With the new technology developed in Canada, sale of said technology could lead to great profit. Energy demand in China and India is high, where 70-80% of it will be imported from foreign places. Therefore, the geopolitical ties between Canada and foreign countries would strengthen and increase profit, which in turn would be used to better our transport system.
