Bellingham, WA (ContentDesk) April 19, 2006 -- Taking part in Earth Day doesnt mean you have to go out and plant a tree or march on Washington, D.C. You dont even have to leave the house if you dont want to.A free e-book from Together We Can Change The World, Inc. titled 101 Ways to Help Planet Earth provides a slew of simple suggestions not only for Earth Day but for every other day of the year as well. The Washington-based company is giving away the e-book because of its belief that every single person can make a difference. The e-book can be downloaded at the company website http://www.TogetherWeCanChangeTheWorld.com.From number 1, stop junk mail, to 101, use environmentally friendly cleaners instead of chemicals, the e-book offers people ideas that can be applied to recycling, shopping, around the house and other areas of everyday life.Putting a halt to junk mail is one thing many Americans would like to see.
The junk mail Americans receive in just one day could produce enough energy to heat an estimated 250,000 homes, according to the Dept. of the Navy Energy website. The junk mail delivered to your address alone equals 1 ? trees. This adds up to 100 million trees every year just in the United States, writes Sandi Valentine, e-book author and company communications consultant.To help stop junk mail, write to: Mail Preference Service, Direct Marketing Association, P.O. Box 3861, New York, NY 10163. By writing them, you can reduce your junk mail by up to 75 percent, Valentine writes.Number 32 on the list is plant a tree, but most of the ideas involve far less time and effort and save money as well. A lot of the pointers will save you money.
When you combine the savings from each one, it really starts to add up for you and the environment, Valentine said.Suggestions range from simple energy conservation reminders such as turning off the lights when unneeded and opening windows instead of using the air conditioner when the temperature outside is about the same as inside to tips on how to make your refrigerator run more efficiently and how to save energy when cooking.Some other easy ideas listed include:" Proper tire inflation saves gas and money plus preserves the life of your tires." Cut paper consumption by using the spellchecker and print preview functions before printing, use both sides of the paper when possible, and give children scrap paper to color on rather than clean paper." Reduce garbage by avoiding products that are over-packaged and using silverware and dishes instead of paper plates and plastic utensils." Use fluorescent light bulbs instead of incandescent ones. Fluorescent bulbs are brighter last longer and use ? the amount of energy." Buy that new television youve had your eye on. Modern televisions use less than half the electricity of older models.Number 12 on the list warns shoppers to be careful when buying recycled products. Make sure it says recycled not recyclable. Look for made from recycled waste or post-consumer waste. The recycling symbol or 100% recyclable does not mean the product was made from recycled products. Taking responsibility for our actions is becoming more and more crucial, Valentine said. With each of us making the commitment to start with small steps, together we can make a huge difference. Together We Can Change the World was created to help people make a difference not just once in a while but on a daily basis.
The company provides free E-books with countless ideas for making a difference day in and day out, as well as other Free Resources..
Conclave: How Papal Election Works
Upon the death of the Pope, a monumental sequence of events unfolds, culminating in a process known as the conclave whereby a new Pope is elected to lead the Roman Catholic faith.Beneath Michelangelo's revered ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, the College of Cardinals, led by the Cardinal Camerlegno (Cardinal Chamberlain), Eduardo Martinez Somalo, begins the arduous process of selecting the pope's successor. The Cardinalate currently consists of 117 cardinals from all over the world. In the conclave, an event enduring little change since the thirteenth century, the cardinals take an oath of secrecy, that if broken renders the offender automatically excommunicated from the church. There are no televisions, radios, or newspapers allowed inside the conclave.The Cardinal Electors, almost all of whom were appointed by Pope John Paul II, will vote in a very thorough process of secret balloting where a two-thirds majority is needed to elect a new Pope. The College may vote up to four times a day,...

One of the best inventions in the world of digital media, television is a telecommunicating system that transmits images, accompanied with sounds and special effects, over a long distance. The word television is derived from two words ? tele (which means "far" in Greek) and visio (which means "vision" or "sight" in Latin).
Paul Gottlieb Nipkow, a German student, proposed the first electromechanical television system in 1885. The discovery of cathode ray tubes in 1897, by K. F. Braun was a major landmark.
Later in 1927, Philo Taylor Farnsworth envisioned the first fully electronic system. He conducted the world's premier public demonstration of an all-electronic television system on August 25, 1934, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
Besides Farnsworth, Vladimir Kosma Zworykin is also sometimes called the Father of the television because of his invention of iconoscope in 1923 and kinescope in 1929. On July 3, 1928, John Logie Baird demonstrated...
