      <title><![CDATA[4 Ways To Have More Freedom On The 4th]]></title>
      <link>http://epicself.com/2009/07/04/4-ways-to-have-more-freedom-on-the-4th/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
Every year as the 4th of July rolls around we find ourselves prepping for massive rooftop BBQ&#8217;s, smuggling illegal fireworks in from Mexico, and concocting a beach ball size bowl of potato salad. Independence day celebrations are hard to beat. But, let us not forget what this glorious day is all about. Freedom.
Though we still have many civil rights issues to solve, Americans hold more rights then the vast majority of other nations. Are you using them to your advantage?
Here are 4 ways to gain more freedom:
1.) Build your own online business: Screw the man and build your own. There is a ton of information out there on how to escape the 9-5 and create the lifestyle of your dreams. Lifestyle design by definition. Use your passions to brainstorm business ideas. Maybe a fashion boutique is in the cards or perhaps you&#8217;ll do what I have and build an online business so you can travel the world for the rest of your life. The possibilities are endless. It just takes realizing that those options are available to each and everyone one of us and acting. There are enough followers, what this world needs is more leaders.

2.) Practice Mindfulness for 20 mins: Free yourself from your mind. It&#8217;s endless babbling and stress won&#8217;t phase you if you blissfully quiet it for a short period of time everyday. Once you get into a daily practice you&#8217;ll crave those thoughtless moments and interject more of them into your day.
3.) Take Your Vacation Time: Two to four weeks off a year is complete madness. If this is your current situation I hope you practice #2 above and at least take the time you are given. I can&#8217;t tell you how many people I know save their vacation time in exchange for a little more money at the end of the year. Honestly, do you feel that is living? Giving up your precious time for money. How important is money in the grand scheme of things? You and only you decide the value of your money. Is buying a new car every year, or partying every weekend important when it could be better spent on soaking in the rest of life? Decide what is more important to you.
4.) Plan A Day For Wandering: Be a traveler for a day. Set one day a week where you have no plans, no to-do&#8217;s and can just have a good wander. Step outside in the morning and see where the day leads you. The unknown is exhilarating. We just need to get used to it.
Though I won&#8217;t be home for the celebrations I wish everyone a fantastic 4th! We are truly blessed to be born on American soil, so use those rights. I&#8217;ll be sipping some champagne and BBQ-ing with some fellow expatriates down under.

      <title><![CDATA[Eco Gadgets: Manual-solar hybrid lawnmower, a green way to keep your lawn tidy]]></title>
      <link>http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/eco-gadgets-manual-solar-hybrid-lawnmower-a-green-way-to-keep-your-lawn-tidy/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
	Eco Factor: Concept lawnmower powered by solar energy.
	Researchers estimate that a typical gasoline-powered lawnmower running for half an hour provides the same amount of emissions as a car driving 200km. This enormous emission and the noise produced by conventional lawnmowers have always made eco-conscious manufacturers figure out a way to make these machines clean. While manual reel mowers can also bring a touch of green to your mowing job, but the effort it requires makes most people leave the lawn untouched.
	
	
	Industrial designer Frank Deveson has designed an innovative lawnmower that helps keep your lawn tidy, without making much noise and no emissions at all. The lawnmower is actually based on a normal reel mower with an electric backup. The design boosts manual effort with the use of high-power batteries through use of a torque sensing system that triggers the batteries on, only when the mower is pushed. On top of this, the batteries are charged with a photovoltaic panel that is mounted on top of the mower.
	Thanks: [Frank Deveson]

      <link>http://www.ecofriend.org/entry/eco-tech-hydrogen-fuel-from-urine-to-power-cars-tomorrow/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[
	Eco Factor: Urine broken down into hydrogen using electrolysis.
	With the dearth of low-emission fuels and the high cost of renewable energy generating system such as photovoltaic cells have tempted automobile manufacturers to look towards sources which are present in abundance. Being the most abundant in the universe, hydrogen has always fantasized car manufacturers as a green fuel which doesnt bring any performance issues along as well. However, conventional process used to generate hydrogen from water and finally transporting it, arent as ecofriendly as the fuel itself is.
	
	Researchers at the Ohio University are trying to solve the riddle by generating hydrogen from a cheap and readily available waste  urine. These researchers believe that electrolyzing urine for hydrogen is easy as compared to generating hydrogen from water as in urine hydrogen molecules arent as tightly held as in water. The system breaks down urea at a voltage of just 0.37V which is significantly less than the 1.23 volts required to split water.
	The researcher was initially conducted on synthetic urine made of dissolved urea, but later the group realized that the process was just as efficient when tried on human urine. The researchers believe that the technology can be scaled-up to generate hydrogen while cleaning up the effluent from sewage plants. The only downside is that urea gets converted into ammonia by bacteria very quickly, which could limit the usefulness of the technique.

      <description><![CDATA[
	Eco Factor: Nitrogen-fueled fireworks produce less smoke and lesser toxins.
	Be it Diwali in India or the Fourth of July celebrations in U.S., people love to watch fireworks illuminating the night sky in different colors. However, these fireworks produce a lot of smoke and considering that people are simply in love with them all over the world, the amount of toxins and smoke poses a serious threat to both humans and the environment. 
	
	In order to achieve a colorful sky, fireworks manufactures stuff their products with different types of explosives and materials that make them burn longer and produce bright colors, where Antimoy and barium and the main culprits, which end up polluting the neighborhood with toxins and smoke. 
	Scientists at DMD Systems are working on a newer generation of greener fireworks, which are fueled by nitrogen and produce less smoke and toxins. Unfortunately these fireworks wont be available for either Diwali or the Fourth of July celebrations, as theyd be too expensive to burn for a few seconds of colorful illumination.

      <description><![CDATA[
	Eco Factor: Researchers plan to develop artificial leaf using natures building blocks to harness solar energy in the most efficient of ways. 
	We all know that nature is the best architect and designer of all and researchers have always tried to replicate the most simplest of natural phenomenon for endless renewable energy. Researchers at the Leiden University have tried to imitate the process of photosynthesis to harvest sunlight even in the worst places. 
	
	The researchers state that the best light-capturers in nature are chlorosomes of bacteria that can harvest light particles even when theyre at the ocean bed. These scientists are trying to build semi-synthetic model of this technique and have developed a model that resembled a bacterial light antenna. Using the most innovative technologies of NMR and x-ray diffraction, they were able to determine the molecular structure of the antenna. 
	The device can now be used to harness sunlight and now all the researchers have to do is to convert that sunlight into usable energy, once developed the system will be able to harness energy even in shadowed areas. Researchers are also envisioning nano-scale forests that can produce clean energy from light.
