		<description><![CDATA[Now here&#8217;s a juxtaposition you probably never thought about. What, after all, have grow lights got to do with manned space flight? Neither Rocket Man or Space Oddity mention propagating edible vegetation, though had there been additional verses then regrets may well have been expressed about this omission as our plucky heroes starved to death. Gotta Feed The Crew Because it is both obvious and simple when you think about it. If you&#8217;re going for more than a quick spin around the Earth you need to feed the crew. And the first deep space mission will undoubtedly be to Mars, principally because it&#8217;s the easiest place to get to and not too hostile when you get there (though not the kind of place to raise your kids by all accounts). A round trip that allows for also staying on Mars for a spot of tourism should take about two years. Even a one way journey with the intent of living out your days in the red dust requires a great deal of food. Sending the crew off with a flask of decaff and a round of sandwiches isn&#8217;t going to cut it. But neither can you load a hamper large [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saving money is always on everyone&#8217;s mind. It is seen that people who wish to go for home improvement projects think of saving money at present and forget to focus on some ways which can help in saving money in the future for the long run. Therefore, if you are thinking of home improvement, you must focus on issues that need to be addressed at present and also those which are important as per future perspective. Division of Costs It is essential that you study different aspects and divide the costs as per the need. There can be two major divisions. Expenses that will occur during the home improvement project. Money that will be saved in future through various tasks done at present. This activity will help you know the total savings which you can make by going for various home improvement works. Saving On Expenses It is not a difficult task to save money during the project. Only a few wise decisions can help in cutting down the costs. The very first thing that you need to decide upon is the budget that you can spend from the savings you have. This will help you prioritize things. The urgent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is your marriage on the rocks? Here are three action items that will help you improve your marriage. 1. Be the Wife He Wants to Keep One way to save your marriage is to choose to become the wife he wants to keep. This does not mean radically changing your personality or abandoning your beliefs. \ Instead of being angry all of the time, remind yourself of the traits that endeared you to him in the first place. Treat him like a boyfriend, with caring acts and a solicitous nature. Dennis Prager has said that choosing to act kind and endearing can generate those emotions inside you, and it will improve the relationship between the two of you. Express gratitude for the things he does. Tell him thank you for picking up the kids or fixing an item that has been on your to do list for months. Never nitpick how he does something, or he will stop doing these things. Nor should you stand over him and tell him how to do something while he&#8217;s doing it. For that amount of work, he&#8217;ll reason it is better for you to do it yourself. 2. Equally Yoked But Not Split [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every day there seems to be a new beauty or health trend making its way to the United States, but originating from elsewhere. We get to a point where we have exhausted our beauty routines and secrets, and begin to wonder “how they look that way” when we think of International beauty. This article will discuss some of the international beauty treatments that have become popular in the United States recently. Recent International Beauty Treatments Our neighbor to the west, Hawaii, has brought many things to the main land here in the United States. Their beautiful traditions and culture has impacted us very much so. Coffee For Beauty? When it comes to beauty, the Hawaiian people have utilized one of their many staple products: Kona coffee.  And it&#8217;s not just for the face &#8211; women have been using it for years to combat cellulite. There are antioxidant benefits to coffee spa treatments, along with the benefits of neutralizing the damage to our skin. The Hawaiian people know better than most that protecting their skin from the sun is extremely important to avoid early aging. Kona coffee has been known to exfoliate the skin as well. Unless you are planning a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Let&#8217;s talk about what is up with yellow teeth. Why teeth turn yellow, how we can prevent it from happening, and what can I do now that my teeth are already yellow? Most people care about the color of their teeth. After many years, our teeth are no longer pearly white and it drives people crazy. Why Do Teeth Turn Yellow? One of our first thoughts is because of bad oral hygiene. This is true because it will allow stains to form. But the main reason teeth yellow is because when people eat, drink, or smoke, a layer of film develops on the teeth. So you think, &#8220;But I brush day AND night!&#8221; Sad to say, even with brushing on a regular basis, some of the film is still left. Brushing with whitening toothpaste, plus regular dental visits do help get rid of the film even more though. The film is what eats away at your enamel. Enamel is what makes your teeth white, so when the enamel thins, the yellowish bone-like material, called dentin, starts showing through. This is what gives you the yellowish tint. When younger people have issues with yellowish teeth, it&#8217;s more likely from staining [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a person ages they tend to be more liable to illness and injuries that can lose the ability to walk around without assistance. That is why there has been an upsurge in the market of mobility aids for elderly people. Electric Scooters Scooters and other mobility aids can give elderly people back the independence that they may have feared was lost forever. No one likes to feel as though they have become a burden to the ones that they love and so being able to use a scooter to get out and about is invaluable to the older generation. Restricted Movement Need Not Restrict Your Life When a person gets older they are more likely to lose the ability to walk unaided and this can mean that they lose out on socializing and are restricted to staying at home all of the time. Thankfully there is now a solution to the problem of not being able to walk unaided and that is the increase in the choice of electric scooters for seniors. Choosing A Scooter To Meet Your Needs When the time comes to select the scooter that will best suit your needs, you should consider what the primary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Utah Valley University provides a great, non-traditional experience for students looking for something a little different in their education. Open-enrollment status allows students from all walks of life to attend and get a meaningful experience, and the engaged learning platform that the school takes means great classes and internships. Orem is also a beautiful area to work, play, and study in, but because UVU housing works a bit differently than most schools, there might be some difficulty finding a place to live. How It Works One of the great reasons that UVU is so different is the diversity of the people attending school. Most students are non-traditional, which means they have spouses, families, and even full-time jobs on top of classes. Instead of living in the area, these students commute to UVU from the surrounding suburban area. Because of this, UVU does not provide traditional dormitories for their students. Instead, they have sponsored apartment complexes owned by other companies that are affiliated with the school. These apartments function in a similar way as a housing department at a traditional university would. Unless specifically requested beforehand, you don&#8217;t get to pick your roommates, and you have to share with other students [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The halogen lamp must count as one of the most pervasive lighting products of all time. In fact, even if you think you don&#8217;t have halogen lamps in your home, there&#8217;s a good chance you probably still do &#8211; spot light track in a bathroom perhaps, or the bulb in a reading lamp? Typically of course they&#8217;re recessed into a ceiling void and used to provide ambient down light, which they are very good at and which largely explains their immense popularity. Why Go With LED Bulbs? But why, if halogen lamps are so effective, should you seriously consider replacing them all with LED versions? 1. Save yourself a fortune. Far and way the commonest form of halogen lamp is the 50 watt spot light. Spaced about a meter apart in a ceiling they provide excellent all round light coverage. But electricity isn&#8217;t free of course and you can easily install 20 of these just in a decent sized kitchen, which comes in at a whacking great 1 kilowatt power consumption. Replace this lot with LED lamps that can do the same job using 6 watts each and you can drop that 1,000 watts right down to 120 watts, with [...]]]></description>
