Ear candling or coning is described as a method of cleaning the ears and the mind, and alleviating a host of physical, emotional and spiritual ailments. The origin of this practice has been given as ancient Tibet, China, India, Egypt, and pre-Columbian America.

The category includes links to the sites containing mostly non-commercial information and dealing with the research, design and implementation in the area of earthquake/wind engineering of lifelines, building structures, transportation and industrial facilities.

Earthquake - A sudden movement of the earth's crust caused by the release of stress accumulated along geologic faults or by volcanic activity. Also called seism, temblor.

Philosophy done in the traditions of Eastern thought, namely those traditions which have arisen in South and East Asia.

Ecology is a branch of science dealing with the interrelationships of organisms with one another and with their nonliving environment.

These relationships include physiological responses of individuals, structure and dynamics of populations, interactions among species, organization of biological communities, and processing of energy and matter in ecosystems.

Known by other scientists as the "Dismal Science," this field makes a serious effort to study and describe:
The production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of wealth and the various related issues (problems) of labor, finance, taxation, currencies, the political arena as it relates to the above areas of goods and services.
Although interest in economic theories dates to the origins of commerce itself, economics as a modern study independent of moral or political philosophy is attributed to the Scottish writer Adam Smith (1723-1790). The ideas put forth in his seminal work, Wealth of Nations, form the basis of "classical" economic theory and free-market capitalism.
Economics has been described as " the branch of social science that deals with the production and distribution and consumption of goods and services and their management" ( http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/ ). In this case the "goods and services" are those of healthcare.
Definition attributable to University of California at Hayward (see link on this ODP page) 1. The emerging synthesis of ecology and psychology 2. The skillful application of ecological insight to the practice of psychotherapy 3. The study of our emotional bond with the Earth 4.

An ecosystem is a community of organisms and their physical environment interacting as an ecological unit. This ODP category is for web sites related to particular ecosystems, such as forests, rain forests, tundra, prairies, and deserts.
According to that quoted in http://www.bio.hw.ac.uk/edintox/enviro.htm (a cool site): Environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology are terms used to describe the scientific study of the adverse effects on living organisms that chemicals can have when released into the natural environment. There is a tendency to apply the term "environmental toxicology" only to the study of direct effects of environmental chemicals on human beings and the term "ecotoxicology" only to the study of the effects of chemicals on ecosystems and their nonhuman components.
Schools, graduate programs and resources offering medical educational material for the healthcare professional.

In physics, energy is the ability to do work and has many different forms (potential, kinetic, electromagnetic, etc.) No matter what its form, physical energy has the same units as work; a force applied through a distance. The SI unit of energy, the joule, equals one newton applied through one meter.
