America Recycles Day is celebrated on November 15th each year to raise awareness about the benefits of recycling. It is a nationally recognized holiday that started in 1997. Communities across American have been using this day to educate and motivate others to recycle and to buy products made with recycled materials. We must spread the word of what can be done if we all work together!
Recycling is something we have all been taught to do since we were young, but do we really do it? Do you know the impact we could have on the world if everyone recycled!? Let’s start by talking about what recycling is. Recycling is reusing materials instead of disregarding them as garbage. Waste can be reused in its original manner or converted into new materials. Typical materials we can recycle are paper, metal, plastic, glass, styrofoam, textiles and electronics. These materials are brought to a collection center, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials and new products. This benefits the environment in many ways.
Recycling saves energy, money and land space. It costs less money to reprocess used materials than it does to create them from scratch. It also reduces trash dumped in land fills, and keep in mind, most trash is not biodegradable, so it just sits there and builds up over time. Yuck! Recycling is also good for the air and water. Decomposing waste releases harmful toxins, chemicals and gases into the air and soil which eventually reach our water sources. Decreasing emissions of these gases will also help with global climate change. Therefore, the more we recycle, the less polluted our air and water will be. Don’t you want to breathe cleaner air and drink cleaner water? I know I do! Recycling also preserves wildlife because we are cutting down fewer trees to make new materials. This can help with extinction problems and leave more natural habitat for various animal species.
Thousands of events across the country will be taking place to celebrate the 14th annual America Recycles Day. Communities are cleaning up their towns and joining the festivities to help the environment. Recycling helps maintain the environment for generations to come! The international symbol for recycling is three arrows moving in a triangle. Each arrow represents a part of the process; reduce, reuse, recycle. Recycling is the easiest way to go green!
If you’re a jewelry lover like me, another awesome way to go green is by wearing natural or organic jewelry. There are some really beautiful natural stone tapers, tunnels, bracelets, earrings and belly rings available, and you can feel good about wearing them. You can be fashionable while respecting the environment at the same time. So remember to celebrate America Recycles Day in your own special way!
Ways that the pierced can recycle, reduce, and reuse:
1. Old body jewelry balls and gems that have been stripped or broken make great beads for all sorts of craft projects.
2. Charms and dangles from necklaces, belly rings, and just about anything make adorable charms for your shoelaces and cell phones.
3. BodyCandy ships our merchandise in reusable padded envelopes and boxes from the US Postal Service, so if you need to make a return or reship items as a gift, just cover or remove the shipping label and readdress. Pop your pieces back in, tape it up, and you’re good to go for a second usage!
4. Instead of using all that water and paper products for washes and soaks, get your hands on some H2Ocean piercing aftercare spray. Then when you’re done with it, recycle the can.

Confused about Student Loan Payment
AppId is over the quota
Hi,
I'm currently studying on a Higher Diploma Course and I have applied for a Student Loan. I've been granted this loan, but when I log in on the studentfinance page it says that I will get the first half of the loan in February and the second half in May.
I already had to pay the tuition fees in September before my course started and it says they will send the money to my college.
So I'm really confused about that. Why is it that I only get the loan in February/May, and is it normal that it only comes after already having paid the fees? Will I get the money back from my college?
Hope anyone can explain this to me.
Thanks,
Betty

Today I’m going to talk fashion about something I really love, and personally feel is highly underrated: glitter!
For anyone who lived through the 90s, or even (gulp) the 80s, you might feel like glitter is a been there, done that, who needs the 57 showers you’ll need to take to get it off kinda deal. But in the second decade of the 21st century, glitter has become so much more than an annoying fashion semi-faux pas and best friend to twelve year olds. The new face of shimmer is more adult friendly, more skin friendly, and far more interesting.
This fall, for example, glitzy jewelry is making an extreme comeback, and with super-saturated colors at the forefront of accessory fashion, the mix is downright mesmerizing. Take Autumn’s “It” colors: red, blue, and grey/silver. Even on their own these power hues are pretty intense, but add a hyper dose of sparkle, and they become the amazing finishing touch to anything from formalwear to skinny jeans.
And the very best part about it is that you get to rock out with some glam glitter that won’t take three days to get off. Some of the most popular ways to wear it? Glittering belly rings, multiple sets of matched glitter ear jewelry, and glittering cocktail rings.
So take some time this Fall to reacquaint yourself with your long lost childhood friend the glitter bug. I guarantee it’s a friendship that will last a lifetime.

Amongst the rain and mud, it’s hard but you can still look fashionable. Color is so important for Fall, and the rich, vivacious colors popular this year will bring your outfits to life. It’s easy to make use of color to create combinations for the unique look you desire.
The best part about the Fall season is that you can wear comfortable, everyday clothes, and spice it up effortlessly with jewelry. You don’t need to go on a shopping spree for an expensive new Autumn wardrobe; just play around by adding some vibrant earrings, necklaces, body jewelry, and rings to a simple outfit. Depending on your style, there are always plenty of choices that are totally chic.
This season it’s all about the warm persimmons, garnets, cherries, and safflowers. A simple black sweater and jeans can be transformed to a totally trendy look in a matter of seconds with colorful baubles. Mix and match antique styles, feathers, and other Fall toned items. Try to stay away from neons and go with deeper, richer tones, and if you can’t decide, look outside! The natural colors of changing leaves are a reminder of what’s in right now.
Turquoise is another fun Fall worthy color that can completely change your look. Natural blues and greens mixed in with that turquoise hue is very flattering, especially for brunettes, and they’re easy to find in rings, plugs, bracelets, and more.
Big statement earrings are also a must have. They can transform your face by making the nose appear smaller, bringing out your eye color, and creating body and movement. Long chandelier or feather earrings are a part of the bohemian look that’s definitely on trend right now, and as a bonus they look great whether your hair is down or up. Gold is also very popular right now. More and more people are drifting away from silver and polished steel and sporting gold tone jewelry for Fall. The best thing about earrings is that they never go completely out of fashion, so keep that collection growing!
A real fashionista knows how to make the same outfit look completely different just with the jewelry they choose to wear. So next time you need to change up your favorite Fall outfit (like those leggings, tall boots, or scarves that you don’t want to take off) always remember that accessories are an easy and playful solution, and have fun with Fall fashion!

Magnetic Field help!

Question: In Britain, the Earth's magnetic field dips downwards towards the North at about 70 degrees to the horizontal. The magnetic field is often considered in 2 components - a vertical comp. of strength 50 micro Tesla and a horizontal comp. of strength 20 micro Tesla. A lab is 9.2m long by 7.5m wide and has a height of 2.4m. Its longest side lies in a North-South direction. Calculate both the horizontal and vertical components of the magnetic flux through this laboratory as a result of the Earth's magnetic field.
Im not really sure how to approach this question at all! Any help owuld be appreciated!
