Recycled Water in Sydney

Posted in Recycled Water in Sydney at 7:28 am by Luis

I think it's quite funny that people throughout Sydney (and Australia for that matter) are quite reluctant to use recycled water. London, and other European cities have been using it for years. I have absolutely no doubt that the recycled water will taste much better than the stuff we've got now!

I know the real problem is that our politicians have let us down by not harvesting run-off water from our streets, or building better catchment dams. This really annoys me because I live in an area that gets loads of rain, but we have Level 4 water restrictions (expecting Level 5 within weeks!).

I applaude Peter Beattie for showing true leadership and getting on with the job. Now, Mr Iemma??????

8 Second Exercise Revolution

Posted in 8 Second Exercise Revolution at 10:18 pm by Luis

In today's Daily Telegraph scientists have announced a revolution in exercising for weight loss: The 8 Second Interval Program!

Well it's actually not too revolutionary because informed trainers have been using interval training to achieve successful weight loss results for their clients for years.

They mention in the above article that longer intervals are not as effective for overweight people. Of course it doesn't! How can you expect someone who is unfit to run for a minute or 2, have a recovery, then do it another 10 times.

This 'revolution' in reality is just a formal announcement of the fact that if you're unfit, do shorter intervals!

There, you've been told! Big Smile

A small but growing number of doctors are, like athletes and actors, using agents to secure work and the contracts they want. But is that really necessary?
