1. Recycle and reuse old paper notes.
Once a notebook is filled and class is finished, toss any pages you don’t need into the nearest recycling bin.
2. Test out your green thumb.
Not only are plants a good way to give your dorm room or apartment a green glow, they also create a calming environment for students. Try nurturing a dwarf lemon tree, aloe vera, or cacti.
3. Embrace energy-saving computer settings.
Keep your screen saver on black, closing your laptop cover when you’re not using it to preserve power, and let your monitor sleep after 10 minutes without use.
4. Invest in green school supplies.
When you need school supplies like pens, tape and notebooks, look for eco-friendly versions, like corn pens or recycled notebook paper.
Try out StudyBlue, Quizlet and Boundless for some online study tools like flashcards and quizzes.
6. Cut back on snack waste.
The week before a big exam, make a trip to the grocery store to pick up study snacks like nuts or dried fruit in bulk. Package up smaller portions of these snacks in a reusable container.
Invest in a power strip where you can plug in all your gadgets and shut off electricity to the cords when it’s not needed.
8. Turn in assignments online.
If your professor allows it, turn in assignments online to cut back on your paper consumption.
Several companies offer online textbooks so students can make their study habits more green and save money.
Switch out the lightbulbs in your desk lamp to eco-friendly versions called compact fluorescent lamps (CFL).
The couple had announced their engagement last month through a social media post.
Former India cricketer Zaheer Khan is all set to tie the knot with actress Sagarika Ghatge.
He’s known for his fast deliveries that leave opponents helpless. She’s known for playing the feisty hockey player in 'Chak De India'. Their shared love for sports is what makes their union — which was formalised at a glitzy engagement party in Mumbai last night — even more special.
They were seen together at Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech’s wedding in December, which led to speculations of them dating. Given the glamorous engagement party last night, all eyes seem to be on the wedding now.
An arctic cold front is moving into the Coastal Bend and into the Gulf waters. Lows will dip to the 40s with wind gusts as high as 39 mph.
A student waits for a bus outside Mireles Elementary School on Tuesday, January 29, 2019. An arctic cold front is moving into the Coastal Bend and into the Gulf waters, according to a forecast from the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi. Lows will dip to the 40s with wind gusts as high as 39 mph.
Harare City Council has suspended its water rationing schedule in circulation due to the acute shortage of chemicals to produce clean water which meets demand.
In a statement, city's corporate communications manager Mr Michael Chideme said supplies from Mozambique have been affected due to the effects of Cyclone Idai.
Cyclone Idai has left more than 100 people dead and caused destruction of road infrastructure in Mozambique and the eastern parts of Zimbabwe, resulting in a crippled road transport network between the two countries.
"The water rationing schedule in circulation has been suspended because the city does not have adequate water treatment chemicals to produce water that meets the schedule demand.
"Our suppliers are failing to bring in the chemicals from Beira (Mozambique) due to the effects of Cyclone Idai that has affected the supply routes.
"One of our local suppliers is facing electricity challenges and is, therefore, unable to deliver our orders," he said.
He said the city council will re-advertise the rationing schedule once the supply situation improves.
In an interview with The Herald yesterday, Harare Mayor Clr Herbert Gomba appealed to the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Praz) to allow council to procure chemicals from local suppliers.
"We ask Praz to allow our procurement unit to procure from those who have the products locally and had not won tenders as is in the law to at least give new directives to mitigate the problems we are facing.
"That is my appeal to the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe board, since the situation is getting out of hand," Clr Gomba said.
Most suburbs in Harare are experiencing serious water woes due to the shortage of water treatment chemicals, with the city now pinning hopes on Higherlife Foundation to provide the required foreign currency to purchase chemicals.
Due to the shortage of the chemicals, the city council had drafted a water rationing schedule in an effort to equally distribute clean water to all residents using the limited chemicals available.
A report from the World Anti-Doping Agency found evidence of a sophisticated state-sponsored doping program involving dozens of Russian athletes at the Sochi Winter Olympics.
Russia operated a sophisticated, state-sponsored doping program so its athletes could cheat during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, the world's leading anti-doping authority said Monday, in a finding that could see Russia banned from the upcoming Summer Games in Brazil.
The Russian ministry of sport "directed, controlled, and oversaw" the swapping of urine samples and the falsifying of results during the Sochi Games, according to a report compiled by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in response to claims from the former head of Russia's anti-doping laboratory, Grigory Rodchenkov.
Rodchenkov, who is now in hiding in the U.S., told the New York Times in May that he developed a special three-drug cocktail of banned substances to help dozens of Russian athletes, including at least 15 medal winners, cheat.
Members of the Russian intelligence services secretly tampered with and replaced tainted samples with clean urine collected months earlier, Rodchenkov said, sometimes by passing them through a hole in a wall.
Russia, which topped the Sochi medal count, has vehemently denied the claims.
In his report, Richard McLaren, a Canadian law professor and sports lawyer chosen to investigate the matter for WADA, concluded Rodchenkov was a "credible and truthful person" and wrote that his claims were supported by evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
"The surprise result of the Sochi investigation was the revelation of the extent of State oversight and directed control of the Moscow Laboratory in processing, and covering up urine samples of Russian athletes from virtually all sports before and after the Sochi Games," wrote McLaren.
Anti-doping agencies from several countries have already called for all Russian athletes to be banned from the upcoming Games in Rio de Janeiro, which begin on August 5. The Russian track and field team has already been effectively barred from competing based on findings in June by the International Association of Athl...
After issuing its report, WADA called on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to consider barring all Russian competitors for both the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics.
“As the international Agency responsible for leading the collaborative, global, clean sport movement, WADA is calling on the Sports Movement to impose the strongest possible measures to protect clean sport for Rio 2016 and beyond," WADA president Craig Reedie said.
In a statement Monday, the IOC said it would "carefully study the complex and detailed allegations" from WADA.
“The findings of the report show a shocking and unprecedented attack on the integrity of sport and on the Olympic Games," IOC President Thomas Bach said. "Therefore, the IOC will not hesitate to take the toughest sanctions available against any individual or organization implicated."
In a statement late Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized what he said was "a dangerous recurrence of political interference in sport."
"Accusations against Russian athletes are built on the testimony of one man — a man with a scandalous reputation," Putin said.
He also criticized various countries' anti-doping agencies pushing to have Russian athletes barred prior to the release of the WADA report.
However, the Russian president did announce that the officials named in the WADA report would be suspended from office as his country conducts its own investigation.
He called on WADA to "provide more complete, objective, evidence-based information" against the officials to assist Russia with its own investigation.

Another week and another injury for Kris Letang (knee) as the Pittsburgh Penguins placed their star defenseman on injured reserve and he’s listed as ‘week-to-week’. There’s no reason for the Penguins to rush Letang back, but it has to be frustrating for Fantasy owners, as the 29-year-old has already missed 12 games thi...
Letang left Saturday’s game in Detroit and Justin Schultz ended up playing 25:3o, his second highest total of the season. Look for him to put up numbers similar to what we saw when Letang was sidelined in December; Six goals and 18 points in 15 games. Schultz registered one point in 12 of his 15 December games and he h...
Letang and John Carlson (lower-body) were both ruled out of the Penguins and Washington Capitals game Monday, but the news doesn’t seem as bad for Carlson, as he made the trip to the Steel City. Carlson was injured Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers and there’s no word yet on the extent of the injury. If so, Matt N...
The Nashville Predators have been bitten by the injury bug all year long and Roman Josi (upper-body) is the latest to hit IR. No timetable on Josi, but some good news out of Nashville, as P.K. Subban (upper-body) returned to full practice Monday. Mattias Ekholm played 26:29 in his last game and 29:11 in the game before...
Jacob Trouba – He’s a solid add, if you play with hits, shots and blocks, despite one assist in his last six games and a minus five rating over his last four. . He contributes across the board.
Nick Leddy – His plus/minus will kill you, but the ice time is there and he usually makes the most of it with shots and blocks.
Mark Streit – Picked up nine shots and an assist in two games since returning from a shoulder injury. He’s a PP specialist and Shayne Gostisbehere continues to trend in the wrong direction. He’s been a healthy scratch on multiple occasions.
KEEP IN MIND THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS ARE THE ONLY TEAM NOT PLAYING AT LEAST THREE HOCKEY GAMES DURING WEEK 14 OF THE FANTASY HOCKEY SEASON. THEY PLAY TWICE.
Alexander Edler – Has five points in nine games since returning from injury. Won’t be a big time point producer but his 25 hits and 25 blocks over those nine games are impressive.
Mika Zibanejad (broken fibula) is expected back Tuesday when his New York Rangers host the Dallas Stars. The C/RW was off to a nice start before suffering an injury and a lot of people cut ties. I think he’s a great add if he’s hanging on your wire.
Aleksander Barkov‘s(lower-body) last update was last week and it was said he was still a few weeks away. Thinking after the All-Star break.
Antii Raanta (lower-body) left Saturday in Montreal after the first period and he’ll miss about 7-10 days of action. I’d only own Raanta if I owned the King.
Check out Home Ice Advantage brought to you by Molson and Boston Pizza every Monday at 5 PM EST on FNTSY Sports Network.
Below is a video where I touched on a few players trending up such as Brad Marchand, Jordan Staal, Mikko Koivu, Connor Brown and Carter Hutton who has take Jake Allen‘s net for now.
How long do you hang on to Jordan Eberle and why are you bothering with Aaron Ekblad?
Tyler Bozak – Has four goals and nine points in his last eight games. James Van Riemsdyk has 11 points over a current seven game point streak, and Mitch Marner has nine points in his last six. It’s a line that’s feeling it lately.
Anthony Mantha – 11 goals, 11 assists and a plus 11 rating for the rookie who loves to shoot the puck and throw his body around. 13 points in his last 12 games while playing 18 to 20 minutes a night.
Jason Zucker – The Wild have three lines that can score with the best of them and Zucker is just the latest Minnesota player who is under owned. He has three goals and six points in his last seven games. Also at least three shots on goal in four of his last six games.
Tanner Pearson – Has at least a point in eight of his last 12 games; six goals and 10 points. Jeff Carter is feeling it and Pearson is benefiting.
Andreas Athanasiou – The Red Wings are desperate for some goals and the youngster has been impressive lately with four goals and seven points in his last six games. He has 17 shots on goal over that span and when you watch, you notice tremendous skill.
Ryan Hartman – Much like Athanasiou, Hartman remains more of a DFS play. Hartman’s upside lies with his current center man Jonathan Toews. The winger picked up a hat trick earlier in the month and he has seven points in the last two weeks including 20 shots in his last five games.
Marketers know that hashtags are key to spreading messages. But figuring out which hashtags-those short strings of copy that mark keywords or identify topics in tweets--will catch on can be mystifying. There are hashtags for just about everything, from #bieberpremier to #idontunderstandwhy to #tcot (top conservatives o...
Computer scients Daniel M. Romero, and Jon Kleinberg, both of Cornell University, and Brendan Meeder, of Carnegie Mellon University, are trying to take some of the unpredictability out of hashtags by determining which hashtags spread most quickly and why. They're also trying to figure out which hashtags have staying po...
The researchers started by sorting the 500 most-mentioned hashtags into eight categories including sports, games, music, and celebrities. Then, from August 2009 to January 2010, they collected over three billion tweets from more than 60 million users. They next built a network of users by looking at people who exchange...
Twitter idioms, such as #cantlivewithout and #dontyouhate, pick up a relatively large number of users as soon as they're introduced. But once users have seen them two or three times and haven't adopted them, they're unlikely to use them at all.
Political hashtags also start out strong. Often, it takes repeated exposures for new users to pick them up, so political hashtags continue to gain converts even after people have seen them a few times.
Celebrity hashtags are used by a relatively small group, but those people use them very frequently. On average, someone using a celebrity hashtag uses it more than 17 times. That compares to less than four times for hashtags that are Twitter idioms.
Relatively few people use hashtags related to politics and games, but they use them a lot, making politics and games the most-mentioned categories. The games tags may get lots of use because some users set up an automatic post to their twitter account every time they achieve a milestone in the game. The preponderance o...
A new music-related hashtag seems to spread more readily from a random group of people than it would from a group of people who are already using music-related hashtags.
Which twitter hashtags have you found useful--or useless? And do you think you've influenced others to follow them, too?
Preview: The banged-up Wild has won just two of its first seven games and is 0-1-1 at home, including Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to Vancouver. The Wild has five games remaining on this homestand and needs more urgency against an Islanders squad riding a three-game winning streak.
Players to watch: Wild F Mikael Granlund missed five games because of a groin injury and had just one shot on goal in Tuesday’s return. His line with Mikko Koivu and Jason Zucker looked out of sync. The Islanders have several Minnesota connections: F Anders Lee (Edina native), C Brock Nelson (Warroad), D Nick Leddy (Ed...
Numbers: John Taveras, who had a hat trick in Tuesday’s win over the Coyotes, leads the Islanders with 10 points, followed by Lee with seven. Nelson has six points, Clutterbuck three and Leddy two.
Injuries: Wild F Charlie Coyle (broken fibula), Nino Niederreiter (sprained ankle) and Zach Parise (back surgery) are out. Niederreiter skated before Wednesday’s practice. Coach Bruce Boudreau said the winger expects to take part in Thursday’s morning skate and could practice with the team Friday. Islanders C Alan Quin...
