  1. A New Environmentalism: Originality Is Important

    December 30, 2009 by dee

    It seems to post-environmentalists that environmental protection is not only to conserve but also to get surprise and joy of life in innovation. Although the energy conservation and emission reduction and coping with climate warming now have become the goals, for which the whole world are making efforts. A lot of people will be frightened by the sight of environmental protection if we are forcced to give up driving, taking a flight, turning on lights at home, the use of electrical appliances and all disposable products just for the purpose of protecting the environment.

    Today, an idea of post-environmentalism makes much surprise to the environmental life which likes the “monk”. The innovative but non-binding environmental philosophy praised by post-environmentalism has a strong attraction and will be quickly become new trend of environmental protection. Swedish Leonard Link leads a finely environmental live which can be regared as the model of post-Environmentalism.

    Filament lamp in his home has already retired, and is replaced by the beautiful energy saving lamp which can create the romantic feeling. Meanwhile, Link ‘ gives up eating for fear of choking’, abandons the private car, and chooses the green energy saving car filled with E85 gasoline. Because it contains 85 percent biochemic alcohol, its name is Link said, “It is a real ‘green’ fuel, not only the raw materials are green plants, but also it is environmental for its carbon dioxide emission is four times less than conventional fuels. The price is also 1 / 5 lower than ordinary gasoline, so it is really good value.” In addition to usage of new launched environmental protection products, the post-environmental protectionists, full of originality, are so into to make small products by themselves. Not only can they achieve the goal for protecting the environment, they also have fun in innovation.In their eyes, rubbish is the treasure which being place in a wrong place, can become very useful objects if making slight renovation.

    Claire from Italy is the outstangding one among them. The already out of date cassette tape package with slide fasteners, which become the beautiful wallet after ornamantations. She also made a clock by hand with waste CDs and electronic components and gave it to her family, sending the information of environmental protection to them by this method. Jimmy, a designer, makes a green name card which is a little flowerpot apart from introducing yourself. As the instructions on the back of the card, the alfalfa in it will grow in four days.

    Beauty always has something to do with flawless skin, while the pores could ruin all of these. The smaller pore is, the more detailed light the skin can show, and the more vitality and vigor of feeling you will give to others.

    Many people try their best to reduce their pores. However the shortcut to fulfill the dream is makeing best use of foundation. The important points cover pores with makeup base: To be invisible, do not land fill! Point 1, moisture should be avoided applying in big-pore areas (the same is to dry skin).

    Otherwise, cosmetics easily move on the face, and finally will deposit inside the coarse pores. If your skin is dry enough to peel, you’d better take good care of it. The naex morning, you are supposed to use clear lotion with moisturizing factors to loose the skin and lessen the dryness.

    Do not use products that can make the skin slippery, that is, powder foundation should have the ability to protect us from the sun. If you use sunscreen under the foundation, it will definitely lead to foundation movement. Point 2, To use the soft or super-soft Light Foundation even though you have the dry skin, such foundation has the perfect ability to stay in its original location and is less likely to be influenced by the skin oil secretion and wil not move to the inside of the pores. Point 3, If the problem of pores is very serious, people should fix makeup for more times. When dressing makeup, use oil blotting paper to adjust slightly at first and then put on dual foundation as foundation makeup. Dual-use powder must be painted more than ordinary ones in order to hide coarse pores.

    When using the dual-use powder you can only used powder brus, because the powder painted thickly looks like a painted wall.


  3. Top 10 of My List of Valentine’s Day Presents

    December 21, 2009 by dee

    If you are a person always sticking to rules, I suggest that you can send your love a bunch of roses. As far as I am concerned, whoever in love will shine from their eyes a sense of sweetness if they see flowers, especially roses.

    Candy

    If I am the kind of people who are tender and sweet, I will absolutely send candy, for the candies are not only delicious, but also well packaged. You should know the truth that girls are hardly resistant to beautifully packaged food.

    Love poem

    If I am that kind of people who are both poor and lazy, I know what I should do. Poem is something subtle. Love is subtle, and poem is subtler. In many cases, a well prepared love poem will compare to a large amount of glamorous presents.

    Dinner

    If I am a millionaire, I will without doubt treat her to a grand dinner, of course candle light dinner. The black suits, white napkins like snow, and shining forks and knives are all romantic elements that can contribute to our love for each other.

    Ring

    Gold is kind of snobbish, diamond is too expensive, so a platonic ring is the perfect choice. A little circle may circus your beloved ones tightly. Here I strongly recommend Cartier, it has always been on the top of my list.

    Perfume

    If I am a fashionable person who always chases the latest trend, I will pick up perfume. Because I hear that odor is something that can last longest in one’s memories. Believe, you lover will get lost in the thrilling smell.

    Cards

    A manmade card will show your heartfelt attitude for her, because in the process of making this card, you have put all your effort and emotions.

    Toys

    If I know the minds of girls thoroughly, I may choose toys as gifts. They should be those furry and lovely animals, like Teddy bear or Garfield. You could be amazed that she will scream at the sight of them.

    Record

    If I am a person who is both romantic and chary, I may give her a record. To be immersed in music together with is one of the most beautiful things in the world. I just hope she will not be too moved.

    Yourself

    If you are a tricky one, you can try to pack yourself and send it to her, because she once said you are the most valuable gift that God has even sent to her.


  4. Diet Customs at Christmas

    December 18, 2009 by dee

    Christmas is very prevalent in Europe and America, and also an influential festival throughout the world. During those days, people will not only hold a grand religious ceremony in the church, but also prepare rich and colorful celebrations at home.

    On the night of December 24, the whole family will generally come together to hold a Christmas dinner and open a party. The dinner is always extremely rich, with a wide range of foods well prepared.

    At the table, the yellow ring-shaped orange slices indicate good wishes. Roses, walnuts, cinnamon, and brightly-colored fruits are the traditional table decorations. As for the Christmas dinner, the main course is an essential traditional dish–roast turkey. In Western eyes, a dinner without roast turkey cannot be considered as Christmas dinner. Some Westerners are accustomed to putting a whole head of roasted suckling pig at the table, while people in Britain and other countries also tend to put an apple inside the pig’s mouth. This custom may arise from some of the larger families, because only the large family will be able to eat up a whole pig.

    After dinner, they usually have some plum, pudding and mince pies, etc. because the British and U.S. citizens believe that they will have great fortune and good luck after eating these types of foods. In the U.S., the dinner still contains a special food – baked polenta, with a layer of butter on its top, which tastes sweet and delicious.

    In Denmark, when the Christmas dinner begins, people must eat an almond pudding first.

    In France, the naturally romantic French are fond of singing and dancing at the night of December 24, accompanied by rich aroma of brandy and champagne wine.

    In the UK, the British lay the most emphasis on foods, including roast pig, turkey, Christmas pudding, chopped meat pie, etc. In addition to a swig of beer, people would also like to go traveling abroad, while the more conservative family would come together in the Christmas Eve.

    In Germany, the religious German are inclined to drink a lot of beer happily, eat sweets, sour pig trotters, beer braised beef, dairy products and a variety of lettuce.

    In Australia, each hotel and restaurant will prepare a rich variety of foods for Christmas, including turkeys, wax chicken, pork, delicious wine, desserts, etc. In the evening, people will go to restaurants to eat Christmas dinner with families or friends.

    Anyway, the world is large and full of wonders, so as for different countries, the diet convention is also not the same.
