What is your favorite positive feeling? These days, I think I will take contentment, and a sense of quiet pride.And that feeling comes from looking back over the last 30 years at the effective choices of my life, choices that did entail hard work, but paid off.I did not always take the easier, softer way, sometimes I took the road less traveled, and made it through.I have learned a great deal about the inside of me, and how I operate emotionally.While I am feeling content at this moment, all I need to do to create a feeling of shame is remember some crazy episode from my youth, or even as a parent and I can change the feeling of contentment to one of embarassment or even shame, over a memory where my emotions were too strong for what the child had done.The very cool thing that I have learned is that I can change my thought to change my feeling.I can remember what it was like to finish my last final exam in graduate school, get the grade of A, know that I had successfully completed, the first in my family to have a graduate degree, and re-experience that marvelous moment all over again. That night I took a good long time to stroll around the campus at Illinois State...more

If you were sceptical that the recently concluded high power climate talks at Copenhagen was a lot of hot air and nothing more, the bad news is you are dead right. Reports of one of the most large scale carbon and methane emissions in Nigeria's oil rich Niger delta by the Opolo-Epie plant leaves one shell shocked, you guessed right the oil company in question is none other than Shell the Dutch oil giant. Let us take a look at what causes this mindless pollution of the atmosphere, oil refining by itself is not the culprit but 'flaring' a process by which unwanted associated gas that surfaces when the oil is pumped out is burnt leaving huge deposits of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. The process of flaring seems to follow the Churchillian dictum of fighting the enemy in the land in the sea and the air by polluting the fields, water bodies and injecting rain bearing clouds with acid.Interestingly flaring as a process has been declared as illegal by the Nigerian government back in 1984 and oil companies served with deadlines to stop the practice, The law has obviously not had any impact and the oil giants like Exxon, Shell and Mobil continue to resort to flaring to get...more
