To the Rescue! Peter Wallerstein spends nearly every day on the beaches of California, but he’s not a surfer or a lifeguard. In fact, he rarely goes into the ocean. Peter rescues marine animals like dolphins and sea lions. He works for Marine Animal Rescue (MAR). MAR rescues animals from beaches. The animals sometimes can’t find food and are weak or sick. Most often, though, the animals are trapped in a net or a fishing line. During a rescue, Peter gently moves the animal into a cage. He takes the animal to a marine life care center for treatment and when it is well the center releases the animal back into the ocean. MAR’s office is a small trailer on a beach and Peter is the only employee. At night, Peter sleeps with his cell phone on to take calls from the coastguard and concerned people about sea animals that need help. When he wakes up in the morning, he immediately makes a phone call to the care center to check on the latest rescued animals. Sometimes, he doesn’t even have time for breakfast before the first call of the day comes in. When it does, Peter along with Pumpkin, his dog, quickly jump into the rescue truck and are on their way. Every year, Peter rescues hundreds of animals. He works together with the police, and the coastguard. He also teaches lifeguards and volunteers about marine rescues. Saving sea animals is all Peter thinks about. For him, each rescue makes a difference!

Do you know that watching TV or reading a book can change your mind? These leisure activities can change your mind in a different way, that is why is very important what kind of programs you watch. This is an influence for you, the way you make decisions the way you behave: We're all seekers of efficiency, relentlessly searching for shortcuts to achieve the same results: automating repetitive tasks, using tools and apps that make decisions for us, hacking tasks and processes. That even applies to reading. Don't have time to read a book? No problem. Just watch TV instead. But that doesn't mean that the benefits you get from watching TV are the same as from reading books. Many people think that books are good, while TV is bad. When you spend a day reading a book people think you're an intellectual, but when you spend a day watching your favorite show you're a couch potato. Similar to how candy gives you cavities and suntanning is bad for our skin, it's common knowledge that reading books is good for you. Reading increases your knowledge and makes you think. Watching television on the other hand kills off brain cells and can even lead to an early death. But why is that? Why can't watching TV be just as educational as reading a book? For example, does watching the show Game of Thrones lower your intelligence while reading the Song of Ice and Fire series do the exact opposite? After all, there are all sorts of books. Some good, some poorly written. The same applies to shows as well. Is the situation as simple as categorizing books as good and TV as bad? Many studies suggest that television affects children's verbal abilities and physical, mental, and emotional development. Researcher Takeuchi finds that the more TV the kids watch, parts of their brain are associated with higher arousal, and aggression levels become thicker. So, be careful with what you watch!!! page 17

Many people want to change their habits. They feel they need to have a healthier life. They couldn´t eat fast food for example, if they want to look fit. They have to follow a special diet, and they have to be very strict with these changes if they really want to live more and better! Doctors recommend a daily routine, you may not be just active and expect to lose weight easily. You could walk for hours but if this is part of your routine, your body will not recognize this normal routine. If you are overweight, you might start an easy workout routine, says an expert in nutrition. You might walk 10 to 20 minutes the first week, then you may add more minutes and more kilometers to your routine. You see the results in a short time. You have to do exercise and you might have a good nutrition plan. You don´t have to pay attention to the “miracle pills” the market offers everywhere.
