Live Earth Announces 2010 Global Event!
This is the web version of the October 15, 2009 Live Earth email to members. Click here to join and receive bi-weekly updates from Live Earth.
Live Earth is pleased to announce the largest worldwide water initiative(倡议)in history to help fight the global water crisis. The Dow Live Earth Run for Water—to take place on April 18, 2010—will consist of a series of 6 km run/walks (the average distance many women and children walk every day to get water) taking place over the course of 24 hours in countries around the world, featuring concerts and water education activities, raising awareness and funds to help solve the water crisis. Jessica Biel, Alexandra Cousteau, Pete Wentz, Angelique Kidjo and Jenny Fletcher will lend their names and their time in support of this global event.
Water shortage is a major issue affecting countries, communities and families all over the world. One in eight people doesn’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. Communities in Africa, Latin America and Asia suffer 1.8 million deaths every year from diarrheal(腹泻）diseases and the death of 5,000 children each day due to inadequate water infrastructure(基础设施). In these areas, women and children are forced to walk 6 km (3.7 miles) each day to get water that is likely unsuitable for drinking. However, the water crisis is not only limited to developing nations. Adding to these existing issues, the effects of climate change are increasingly impacting both supply and quality of available fresh water throughout the world.
In 60% of European cities with populations greater than 100,000, groundwater is being used faster than it can be replenished(补充). By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population could be living under water-stressed conditions.
You can help solve the water crisis by participating in the April 18th event. Run/walk registration is now officially open! Sign up now at http://liveearth.org/run.

| Walking is the best and the cheapest way to lose weight. The best time to walk to lose weight is in the early morning in fresh air, because it has many benefits. Firstly, it doesn't disturb your daily routine activities.Secondly, it does not only help lose weight, but it's also useful for good health. Thirdly, you won't get an excuse that you didn't get time to go for your workout due to your tight schedule. It's scientifically proved that walking in the early morning to lose weight helps you to burn calories faster than at any time of the day.Having a good morning walk and then a healthy breakfast can help to increase the metabolism (新陈代谢) of your body. As the metabolism increases, you burn more calories. The first thing to do is to set up a goal that you want to achieve. Therefore, work out a walking routine. At first, start walking three times a week, and then slowly increase it to five times a week. It's advisable not to overdo walking, as it can have side effects on the body. Here are certain easy steps that you need to follow when you start your daily walking routine. Warm-up is an important activity that is to be done before you start to do any kind of exercise. A light warmup period of about 15 minutes is enough. It will warm up your muscles and avoid any injury to your body. Exercising without warmup can be dangerous and must be avoided. Make sure that you don't stop anywhere in between your 30 or 45 minutes' walk. Slow down if necessary. Stopping in your walk won't help you. Instead, slowing down your speed will help to burn more calories. While walking, take long strides (步伐) and swing your arms in a rhythm.This will use up muscles and help burn more calories. In a word, regularity and correctness in walking is the key to success. Best of luck！ | ||||||||||||||

Choosing the perfect college for yourself is a tough task, because there are many good
colleges out there. However, you need to take a campus(校园)tour because, the college
websites always present a rosy picture where happy faces laugh and study on lush (繁茂的)
green lawns, the libraries store the latest collection of books, and all the facilities(设施)are the
most advanced. However, the reality may be many a time different from what actually is shown
in the booklets or on the official college website. You will find a lot of information about any
college by taking a tour of its campus, and then deciding on it. Reading the following may be
of help to you.
● When to plan the college visit
Prepare a list of your choice of colleges as you near your senior year in high school, and
plan the tour to these colleges soon before you start the application process. You can visit on
weekdays (Monday to Thursday), as generally during Fridays the campus is full of activities,
and you may not find anyone to interact(互动)with.
● Check the infrastructure(基础设施)
The first thing you will notice on a campus tour will definitely be the outer infrastructure, like
the buildings, lawns, vehicle parking facility, etc. Check if the buildings are neatly maintained
and are in a good condition. Go by your gut feeling (本能反应). A college should have good
infrastructure; along with well-equipped libraries and comfortable classrooms. Walk around the
campus and check the inner infrastructure.
● Check the dormitory and cafeteria(自助餐厅)
You should thoroughly check all the facilities in the dormitory. It is often the case that most
colleges are good as far as education is concerned, but they do not have good residential
(居住的)facilities. You can ask the students who stay on-campus about services like a laundry
room, Internet availability, etc. Visit the cafeteria, and if it's permitted, taste the food there to
understand the quality of food which has been prepared.
● Check the campus
A visit to the campus gives you the actual feel of the campus life. Take a look at the campus,
is it clean and tidy, and as per your expectations(符合你的期望)? You can make out a lot
about the college by visiting it. Think about what you want from a college; is your focus more
on academics or on extra-curricular(课外的)and sporting activities? Picture how you want
your college to be and only then take the decision.
● Interact
A campus visit facilitates (使容易) interaction with the students and professors, and through
this you can get to know a lot about the college. Talk to any students, and ask them about the
campus life and their experiences. Also inquire with the professors and students about the various
courses available, their level of difficulty and so on. Visiting the college is the best way to find if
the college is suitable for you.
