SCUBA stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. SCUBA diving gives you the opportunity to explore a world that is vastly different to ours. The oceans are so rich with life and have a huge variety of living organisms, all adapted to their little habitats.
Economics and Currency By Shawn Vint
There are many pieces to the fragmented global economic puzzle. Putting them together so that we see a clearer picture can be difficult, especially given the conflicting views as to how the fragmentation happened in the first place. Understanding how the pieces fit is eye opening from a civic standpoint, and important for our own, personal future as well.
Activity for the Mind By Karen Stephenson
At birth, 100 billion neurons are primed to organize themselves in response to a new environment. Throughout life those neural networks will continually reorganize and reinforce themselves to stimuli…the process of learning.
Life Fitness Fit-tip: SCULPTING GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR
Getting truly fit means incorporating a strength training program to your routine; but step into the weight room and many exercisers fear the worst – bulking up like Hulk Hogan or getting seriously injured.

Influenza’s Role in Health and Disease By Dr. Sherri J. Tenpenny
We’ve all been taught that germs are bad and they are lurking around every corner, waiting to invade defenseless humans. Doctors and the media talk about Swine flu as though getting the flu is an inevitable catastrophe unless, of course, we are injected with the life-saving flu shot.

Terry Fox: The Heart of Courage By Shawn Vint
Canada is a vast country. From east to west along the Trans Canada Highway, it travels an incredible 4,860 miles (7,821 km).

On that rocky shore of Newfoundland’s east coast, one man began a quest to run that distance with one leg of his own, and one artificial. In the process, a nation was stirred.

The Game of Love By Michael Freeman
Love! What a wonderful feeling! We tend to think of it as something that happens only to the young, but it can chase after anyone, of any age. Whether new or old in love, spending time together in healthy activity can add as much to the relationship as it does to one’s wellness.
Quality time together is much more than lazing comfortably in one another’s arms. As part of a balanced life, this time can be used as an opportunity to begin a simple exercise regimen that will improve your physique, strength and stamina, but most importantly your relationship.
