Its so peaceful and the gardens are so beautiful.In 2005, this centre was an old school, w
18、ith a history going back to 1904. Rabbits had damaged the foundations(地基)and rats ran along littered hallways. The traffic roaring along Steveston Highway was hardly beneficial to meditation, and fresh air! Neither did we have sufficient funds at the time to carry out a purchase. But there was hope,
19、 wild hope! We had a vision. We could make it a reality.Our group was inspired to take this step under the loving guidance of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj, a living Master in an ancient family of spiritual experts. Despite the small size of our local charity, we took chances to purchase this place
20、 that spoke to us at some very deep level. Generous donations and effort flowed in from members at exactly the right time. Thus, we could begin the physical origins of the SOS Meditation and Ecology Centre.And to create it took a great deal of sweat efforts. Gardens were dug and planted by volunteer
21、s. Brothers and sisters worked together.

25、e.D. To explain the influence of meditation on average people.CAs a short-distance track and field runner at high school and college, I often found myself wondering which of the eight or sometimes nine lanes(跑道)on the track was the fastest. It was conventional wisdom that the middle lanes-lanes thre
26、e through six-were the best.This idea, in a way, is baked into the rules of track and field. In events with multiple heats-from the college level all the way to the Olympics-the people who run faster times in earlier heats are assigned to middle lanes in later heats. In other words, the fastest runn
27、ers are rewarded with what are, supposedly, better lane assignment(分配).Using 20 years of track and field data from the International Association of Athletics Federations, I found that the long-held beliefs about lane advantages are not supported by the data. And in fact, for the 200-meter sprint(冲刺)
28、, the evidence suggests that lanes often regarded as the least desirable are actually the fastest.In most races, the fastest runners are assigned to the middle lanes according to the competition rules. Not surprisingly, the fastest runners-who are in the middle lanes-often win. Are these racers winn
29、ing because those lanes are the fastest or because those runners tend to be the fastest?Next time youre watching any of the shorter track and field events in the Olympics, listen and see if anyone repeats the old adage that the middle lanes are the fastest. The data shows this isnt true, so if someo

33、f the coast of Formentera, an island, lives seagrass that stretches 15 kilometres. The seagrass, covering several hectares, is made up of a single organism. The grasses are also long-lived, for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Along with two other kinds of coastal ecosystems-mangrove swamps(红
34、树沼泽)and tidal marshes, seagrass meadows are particularly good at taking carbon dioxide from the air.This role was highlighted in a report, which was published on March 2nd by UNESCO, on blue carbon-the carbon taken in by Earths oceanic and coastal ecosystems. In total around 33 billion tons of carbo

Research by Carlos Duarte, the reports author and a marine ecologist, has shown that one hectare of seagrass can suck as much carbon dioxide each year as 15 hectares of rainfore
36、st.One reason that blue-carbon ecosystems make such effective sinks is that underwater forests are thicker than the land-based woods. They can also trap floating pieces and organic matter, which settles on the sea floor and can double the amount of carbon stored away. They have another advantage, to

Unlike forests on land, blue-carbon ecosystems do not burn.Blue-carbon ecosystems may not be fired, but they remain affected to other sorts of disasters. In Ma
