This bilboard is for the University of Engineering and Technology of Peru (UTEC) in Lima, Peru. The air there is incredibly humid, and this billboard uses that humidity to produce drinking water from thin air. Many people in Lima have limited access to clean drinking water.

According to psychologists, there are 6 common sleeping positions - and each is linked to a particular personality type. Find your personality type here and tell us how accurate is this... ➤ The Fetal: Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax. ➤ Log: Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible. ➤ The Yearner: People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it. ➤ Soldier: Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards. ➤ Freefall: Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations. ➤ Starfish : Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention. Source: http://is.gd/SNzkuY

 I posted this so that everyone could be informed about this horrid case. "March 2nd, 2013, in Chongqing, China, a truck was found transporting more than 900 dogs, distributing them to restaurants, slaughterhouses. These are family owned lost/stolen pets (some of them still have colors on). This truck was stopped by a group of volunteers and fortunately, the dogs are saved. By the time they were found, most of them are in very bad health conditions and only few of them were found by their owners. Through out the entire day of rescuing, these volunteers did not get any help from the government. This is a wake up call to everyone in China. It is sad and unfortunate that a big country like does not have any laws/regulations on serious matters like this. They are not just animals, they are someone's family member. People who treat them like this should be punished by law. I cried for an hour reading blogs and pictures posted by volunteers. The only thing I can do to help is help spreading around the word so people from all over the world can pay attention to this matter. All the animal lovers out there please help me spread around the word, thank you!" Michelle Zhu "I am suffocating just looking at these photos of these poor animals I can't even breathe because of empathy, this is far worse than inhumane. My rage side wants to have authorities arrest these idiots, and feed them to these poor, thirsty, tired, hungry, dogs full of love, sweetness and much deserving of respect, love, and dignity. My loving side knows Humankind can come together with the same Chinese Volunteers who are the pioneers in their country to save man's best friends, felines, monkeys, to other species as we have become so desensitized on how we treat other beings on this earth. Slowly but surely we will help each other evolve from subhumans to consciously loving beings. I believe there are more good-hearted heroes with laser focus and by sharing this compassion, all ignorance can be educated through awareness." - Anne Pinita Meesriyong~

In the video below, 13-year-old Richard Turere says quite explicitly that lions are his enemy. So why did he invent a simple LED-based invention that will help protect struggling lion populations? Well, because the LEDs keep the big cats from eating cows belonging to Richard’s family and neighbors in Nairobi National Park, which means fewer lions have to be killed to protect local livelihoods. Cows benefit, people benefit, and lions benefit too.

For the first time in 13 years, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) study of 59 economies shows that women are creating businesses at a greater rate than men in three economies and in four others, the rates are nearly equal. In Ghana, Nigeriaand Thailand the rate of nascent women is higher than men and in Brazil, Ecuador, Uganda and Switzerland the start-up rates by gender are equal. While in the other 52 economies the rates of women’s start-up are lower than men, sometimes up to 6x lower, this is generally good news, perhaps signaling a positive trend. This equalization follows decades of legislative, policy and socio-cultural changes that have gradually empowered, supported and trained women to perceive opportunities and believe they have the capabilities to start businesses.

Very little has been said about this…..On December 2, Basque athlete Iván Fernández Anaya was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarre. He was running second, some distance behind race leader Abel Mutai - bronze medalist in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner - the certain winner of the race - mistakenly pull up about 10 meters before the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line. Fernández Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai's mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first. Ivan Fernandez Anaya, a Basque runner of 24 years who is considered an athlete with a big future (champion of Spain of 5,000 meters in promise category two years ago) said after the test:

"But even if they had told me that winning would have earned me a place in the Spanish team for the European championships, I wouldn't have done it either. I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well."

He said at the beginning: unfortunately, very little has been said of the gesture. And it's a shame. In my opinion, it would be nice to explain to children, so they do not think that sport is only what they see on TV: violent kicks in abundance, posh statements, fingers in the eyes of the enemy ...
