lamps with eco-friendlier CFLs (compact fluorescent lights), there is the
latest news supposing that this kind of lamp may contain harmful mercury.
Recently, the book Journal of Environmental Management has showed a study that
proves the LED (Light-emitting diode) prevents melatonin – a hormone helps
sleep deeply to support immune systems. So, how to both save energy for the
earth and keep your health? The advice is that:
·
For CFLs: right after they burn or break, you
need to dispose them with extreme care since you may make the poison be
eliminated.
·
For LEDs: prevent their effect with melatonin by
focus on making use of light, arrange the lamps in places far from one another
(for example, put the lamps outdoor to light up the house, or put them on the
food counter or art work...)

Treibbal game
If your puppy needs to practice both
physical and mental sides, try the treibbal game (read as “try ball”), also
called ‘driveball’, which is a quite interesting sport type originated from
Germany for puppy, a kind similar to tending sheep. ‘Treibbal is a practice
type for puppies and a wonderful chance to motivate them to increase
concentration and contact with their owners,’ according to Dianna L. Stearns,
professional dog trainer and president of US Treibbal Association. Stearns
describes the game as the combination between the way how to tend sheep and
soccer, in which the puppy is taken off its fetter and has to use its nose or
shoulder to push ball into the goal while its owner is not allowed to guide
them what is wrong and what is right, but just allowed to encourage it.
