Weta Bug
Do you like insects? To me, it depends on the kind of insect. I like grasshoppers, lady bug, and butterflies. You are probably wondering why I am talking about insects in my blog today, well, the world’s largest insect discovered in New Zealand. A Weta Bug, with a wing span of seven inches and the weight of three mice. Sounds huge for an insect! Weta are usually big by insect standards and some species are among the largest and heaviest in the world. But the weta bug they discovered in New Zealand is the biggest one. Their physical appearance is like along-horned grasshopper or a cricket. The hind legs are huge and usually very spiny. Many are wingless. Weta can bite with powerful mandibles and can inflict painful scratches, which may cause infection.
Green baby steps
Guest post written by Alex Wharton
My family has finally started being a little more green than just recycling old plastic bottles.
We’re trying to make the transition to be more Energy Efficient in our home for green and financial reasons. I went online and found some useful information about heating and air efficiency – more specifically things that you can do to your home so that you won’t be air conditioning or heating the outdoors.
Our windows were old and drafty anyway. They were original with the house that we live in, which my in-laws built when my husband was about 6 years old. So I looked up sears home improvement michigan and found a great deal for some new windows. The pictures I found looked so much better than our old wooden ones that were begging for a fresh coat of paint.
I settled on those and had them installed. Our home looked instantly better and then after a few months’ time I noticed that our energy bill had gone down. Now, we had also started practicing energy-efficient habits like turning off lights we don’t need and so forth, so that definitely played a part. But I am still pretty impressed and satisfied.

People are more realizing the necessity to take care of the environment. We now understand the call for performing responsibilities consecutively to improve the health, safety, and prolonged existence of human life. We understand how water is important to our life. To think that the world we live in is made up of water. And speaking of water, our water is polluted, especially in metropolitan areas. But water as a renewable energy, with modern technology, waste water gets recycled through water treatment.

The N-Viro is designed for waste water and other organic wastes resulted from trash in the landfill, fertilizers in soil, bacteria, algae, chemical products from industries or manufacturers, to guarantee recycled water is safe reuse over and over again.

A $4,000 Tip
Money isn’t the key to happiness. Yes, it is true. Money cannot buy happiness. But when someone gives you money, it makes you even happier. Johnny Depp said that Money isn’t the key to happiness. During his visit to a Chicago restaurant, his bill was $4,400. He certainly made a waiter happy with a $4,000 tip. Wow, that’s a lot of money. That seems likea two-month salary of the waiter – perhaps. Anyhow, Johnny Depp is a big star and a millionaire. But certa
inly, he brought joy to the waiter.
The luckiest person who got the “best job in the world”
The luckiest person who got the “best job in the world” as a caretaker of an Australian tropical island was Ben Southall, 34, a British charity fundraiser. He was picked from 16 finalists. I remember I posted about this job on January. And he will start to work on July 1st. The job responsibilities include strolling in the white sands, soaking up the sun, snorkel the reef, and taking care of the island, and should report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates. And be able to talk to media occasionally. And be able to take home 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) for relaxing around a beautiful tropical Hamilton island for six months in Australia. This program is part of the force to protect the state’s 18 billion Australian dollar a year tourism industry during the tough economic climate caused by the global financial meltdown.
