It is that feeling of being cared for and nurtured. Some people would describe this as the type of love parents have for their children. This is so important: high on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs; and studies have even proven that people have died of a "broken heart" (there have been no explanations for their deaths other than that).<br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br />FRIENDSHIP LOVE:<br />This is a love between yourself and someone that is totally honest, open and comfortable. You really only have this kind of bond with a few people. You might know a lot of people and be "friendly" with them in a group situation but they are not the best friends I am talking about here.<br />I have a theory that you can not truely be best friends with a member of the opposite sex. Down the line romance will always come up from either party and feelings will be misinterpreted and mistaken. When this happens, the friendship will change and possibly never be the same again.<br /><br />ROMANTIC LOVE:<br />(The much anticipated love!) Most people experience this type of love many times in their life. It is when you see that person for the first time and he/she makes your knees go weak or gives you butterflies in your stomach.i.e. "Love at first sight”. Most people don’t even love the person they think they are in love with…they fall in love with the idea if being in love. This is more of a lustful kind of love, it wears off after a while and hopefully leads to...<br /><br />UNCONDITIONAL LOVE:<br />This is the sincere love, the love that lasts forever. This kind of love comes when you have found the person you are destined to be with. Nothing can destroy unconditional love. It is like when you have an argument or disagree about something with that person and you realize that it doesn’t bother you because the love you have for him/her overcomes everything. </span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">However after looking at all the different types one can love, I have chosen to focus on the most recognised, romantic love.

Many of these have not undergone environmental risk assessment and their impact on human health and the environment is currently uncertain. An example of this is phthalates, which are used in the manufacture of PVC. PVC has in the past been used in toys for young children and there has been concern that phthalates may be released when these toys are sucked (come into contact with saliva). Risk assessments of the effects of phthalates on the environment are currently being carried out.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The disposal of plastics products also contributes significantly to their environmental impact. Because most plastics are non-degradable, they take a long time to break down, possibly up to hundreds of years - although no-one knows for certain as plastics haven't existed for long enough - when they are landfilled. With more and more plastics products, particularly plastics packaging, being disposed of soon after their purchase, the landfill space required by plastics waste is a growing concern.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Plastic waste, such as plastic bags, often becomes litter.

Long life, multi-trip plastics packaging has become more widespread in recent years, replacing less durable and single-trip alternatives, so reducing waste. For example, the major supermarkets have increased their use of returnable plastic crates for transport and display purposes four-fold from 8.5 million in 1992 to an estimated 35.8 million in 2002. They usually last up to 20 years and can be recycled at the end of their useful life.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">According to a 2001 Environment Agency report, 80% of post-consumer plastic waste is sent to landfill, 8% is incinerated and only 7% is recycled.

This is relatively simple and economical to recycle, as there is a regular and reliable source and the material is relatively uncontaminated. Process scrap represents some 250,000 tonnes of the plastic waste arisings in the UK and approximately 95% of this is recycled. This is usually described as reprocessing rather than recycling.</span></span></p><h3 style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Post-use plastic recycling</span></span></h3><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Post-use plastic can be described as plastic material arising from products that have undergone a first full service life prior to being recovered. Households are the biggest source of plastic waste, but recycling household plastics presents a number of challenges. One of these relates to collection. With over 20 million UK households, kerbside recycling systems are required to regularly collect relatively small quantities of mixed plastics from a large number of sources. Currently, just over half of local authorities offer some form of plastic bottle collection service, and only an estimated 15% of UK households are served by kerbside collections that include plastic bottles. The densest network of plastic bottle collection schemes is found in the South and East of England and the Midlands. East Anglia, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have the least coverage. There are approximately 4,000 plastic bottle collection banks in the UK.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">RECOUP (RECycling Of Used Plastics Limited) undertakes an annual survey of plastic bottle recycling activity in the UK. Results of the most recent survey indicate that an estimated 24,000 tonnes of plastic bottles were collected in 2003. However, this still only amounts to approximately 5.5% of all plastic bottles sold.</span></span></p><h3 style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Mechanical recycling</span></span></h3><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Mechanical recycling of plastics refers to processes which involve the melting, shredding or granulation of waste plastics. Plastics must be sorted prior to mechanical recycling. At the moment in the UK most sorting for mechanical recycling is done by trained staff who manually sort the plastics into polymer type and/or colour. Technology is being introduced to sort plastics automatically, using various techniques such as X-ray fluorescence, infrared and near infrared spectroscopy, electrostatics and flotation. Following sorting, the plastic is either melted down directly and moulded into a new shape, or melted down after being shredded into flakes and than processed into granules called regranulate.</span></span></p><h3 style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Chemical or feedstock recycling</span></span></h3><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Feedstock recycling describes a range of plastic recovery techniques to make plastics, which break down polymers into their constituent monomers, which in turn can be used again in refineries, or petrochemical and chemical production. A range of feedstock recycling technologies is currently being explored. These include: pyrolysis, hydrogenation, gasification and thermal cracking. Feedstock recycling has a greater flexibility over composition and is more tolerant to impurities than mechanical recycling, although it is capital intensive and requires very large quantities of used plastic for reprocessing to be economically viable (e.g. 50,000 tonnes per year).</span></span></p><h3 style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Plastics recycling in the UK</span></span></h3><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In 1998, a pilot feedstock recycling plant went operational at BP's Grangemouth site in Scotland, with a capacity to process 400 tonnes of mixed plastic waste per annum. A feasibility study into its viability concluded that a 25,000 tonnes per annum plant could be supported from the area's municipal waste sources alone.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In 1991, LINPAC Plastics Recycling opened a unique plant with the ability to recycle post-consumer polystyrene products. The plant, based in Allerton Bywater, West Yorkshire, has a capacity of over 14,000 tones per year, which is set to increase to 25,000 tonnes per year by 2005. The plant is able to process fast food boxes, meat trays, egg cartons, yoghurt pots, vending cups, and a range of other polystyrene products. In addition, the plant processes a range of polyethylene and polypropylene goods, such as bottles, crates, sheets, caps, pipes and fibres.</span></span></p><h2 style="font: normal normal bold 16px/16px verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; display: inline; font-weight: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Degradable and bio-plastics</span></span></h2><h3 style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Degradable plastics</span></span></h3><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A number of UK retailers have recently introduced degradable carrier bags. These bags are made from plastic which degrades under certain conditions or after a predetermined length of time. There are two types of degradable plastic: bio-degradable plastics, which contain a small percentage of non oil-based material, such as corn starch; and photodegradable plastics, which will break down when exposed to sunlight.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Degradable plastics are already being used successfully in Austria and Sweden, where McDonalds has been using bio-degradable cutlery for three years. This enables all catering waste to be composted without segregation. Carriers for packs of beer cans are now being manufactured in a plastic which photo-degrades in six weeks. There is also potential to use such plastics in non-packaging applications such as computer or car components.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There are a number of concerns over the use of degradable plastics. First, these plastics will only degrade if disposed of in appropriate conditions. For example, a photodegradable plastic product will not degrade if it is buried in a landfill site where there is no light. Second, they may cause an increase in emissions of the greenhouse gas methane, as methane is released when materials biodegrade anaerobically. Third, the mixture of degradable and non-degradable plastics may complicate plastics sorting systems. Last but not least, the use of these materials may lead to an increase in plastics waste and litter if people believe that discarded plastics will simply disappear.</span></span></p><h3 style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Bio-plastics</span></span></h3><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A number of manufacturers have been exploring alternatives to plastics made from non-renewable fossil-fuels.

A range of other companies, including LEGO, IKEA, Nike and The Bodyshop have made similar pledges.</span></span></p><h3 style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Use of recycled plastic</span></span></h3><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There is a wide range of products made from recycled plastic.This includes polyethylene bin liners and carrier bags; PVC sewer pipes, flooring and window frames; building insulation board; video and compact disc cassette cases; fencing and garden furniture; water butts, garden sheds and composters; seed trays; anoraks and fleeces; fibre filling for sleeping bags and duvets; and a variety of office accessories.</span></span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 12pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Recycled Products Guide (RPG) </span></span><a href="http://www.recycledproducts.org.uk/" style="font: normal normal normal 10px/normal verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 15px; text-decoration: none; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">www.recycledproducts.org.uk</span></span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> is a listing of products made from recycled.

But why?</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /><br />The most common stems from the days when umbrellas were used mainly as protection against the sun. To open one indoors would be to insult the local sun god (especially Ra) and invite his wrath on everyone in your household.<br /><br />Another theory borrows from the idea of an umbrella as a protector against the storms of life. If you were to open one in your home, the household guardian spirits might think you felt their protection was insufficient, and then they'd leave in a huff. Once again, everyone in the house is cursed.<br /><br />In truth, the superstition is probably coincidental. (Someone left his umbrella opened in the hall and had a terrible day--he told his friend to keep their umbrellas shut, and it spread.)<br /><br />It isn't always bad luck to open an umbrella inside. According to some, it's only considered bad if any of the following apply:<br />-The umbrella was a gift.<br />-The umbrella is black.<br />-The umbrella has never been used outdoors.<br />-There is a sick person in the house.<br /><br />Other bad luck umbrella superstitions:<br />-Never give an umbrella as a gift.<br />-Never pick up an umbrella you dropped (ask someone to do it for you).<br />-Never place your umbrella on a table or a bed.<br />-If a single woman drops her umbrella, she'll never marry</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:13px;"><span style="margin-top: 0px;

To keep your balance in heels, you have to compensate by pushing your hip bones forward. This causes increased strain on your hip flexor muscles, which can eventually cause them to shorten.</span></li><h2 class="Heading3a" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; font-size:18px;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></h2><h2 class="Heading3a" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; font-size:18px;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Bunions</span></span></h2><li id="jsArticleStep1" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; font-size:13px;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Heels often cause a tighter fit in the toe area as gravity forces the toes to be pushed into the narrower front of the toe box. As toes are pressed together at the tip of the shoe, you may develop a bony growth at the base of the big toe (a bunion), which causes it to angle in toward the other toes.</span></li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><br /></span><h2 class="Heading3a" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; font-size:18px;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></h2><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhxE1aui0PgHXYLNyf9rXuMaXnIEY0_t9sSUHpJIjioN-RU9UqNdTOaiK_1fOCqdrf0FM7IfQLut1qXYlu7_Jgxgwzgn8cp5hXhlKf60nEtDctxBcUbwcL5vnt8ie5OXpwkeD3HcMvNtZ/s1600/article-0-0293A64E00000578-588_468x486.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBhxE1aui0PgHXYLNyf9rXuMaXnIEY0_t9sSUHpJIjioN-RU9UqNdTOaiK_1fOCqdrf0FM7IfQLut1qXYlu7_Jgxgwzgn8cp5hXhlKf60nEtDctxBcUbwcL5vnt8ie5OXpwkeD3HcMvNtZ/s320/article-0-0293A64E00000578-588_468x486.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516396939253640642" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 320px; " /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><h2 class="Heading3a" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; font-size:18px;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Hammertoes</span></span></h2><li id="jsArticleStep1" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- font-style: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; font-size:13px;color:initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">As feet slide further into the narrow toe box of a heel, the smaller toes begin to bend into a claw shape.

The enlargement actually represents additional bone formation, often in combination with a misalignment of the big toe. The normal position of the big toe (straight forward) becomes outward-directed toward the smaller toes. The enlarged joint at the base of the big toe (the first metatarsophalangeal joint) can become inflamed with redness, tenderness, and </span><a href="http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=89451" style="text-decoration: underline; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">pain</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">.

Some studies report that bunions occur nearly 10 times more frequently in women then men. It has been suggested that tight-fitting shoes, especially high-heel and narrow-toed, might increase the risk for bunion formation. Bunions are reported to be more prevalent in people who wear shoes than in barefoot people. There also seem to be inherited (genetic) factors that predispose to the development of bunions, especially when they occur in younger individuals.</span></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size:12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Other risk factors for the development of bunions include congenital (present from birth) abnormal formation of the bones of the foot, nerve conditions that affect the foot,</span><a href="http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=466" style="text-decoration: underline; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">rheumatoid arthritis</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">, and injury to the foot.
