Plants That Could Save Your Life

Plants That Could Save Your Life - The world we live in is full of synthetic chemicals, most of which are toxic. They are encountered from our food to all the objects we touch. No wonder the explosion of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) cases (see: http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-Disease-of-the-Technology-MCS-74254.shtml). But if you think that contamination is something occurring outdoor, you're awfully wrong. The "technology toxins" stalk inside your house, and the situation is nastier than you could imagine. The insidious aspect is that these toxins poison you most of the time, including while you are sleeping.

What Is The Life Expectancy Of The Sun

What Is The Life Expectancy Of The Sun, What is the life expectancy of the sun? Will it explode or burn out? While most of us can average a healthy lifespan of 80 to 90 years, our sun’s life expectancy eclipses that by a good bit — most scientists estimate that the sun will continue to burn brightly for another five billion years or so.

The sun is our nearest star and while not all stars are alike, their age, and therefore their lifespan, can generally be predicted by their luminosity and size. Stars fall into size/age categories such as brown dwarfs, white dwarfs, and red giants. While these terms may sound more like the names of fairy-tale characters, they identify the phase of a star’s current stage in the process of stellar evolution.

Did Paparazzi Cause The Death Of Princess Diana

Did Paparazzi Cause The Death Of Princess Diana

Did Paparazzi Cause The Death Of Princess Diana - On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The bodyguard of Diana and Dodi, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the only survivor. Although at first the media pinned the blame on the paparazzi, the crash was ultimately found to be caused by the reckless actions of the chauffeur, who was the head of security at the Ritz and had earlier goaded the paparazzi waiting outside the hotel. An 18-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the crash was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while drunk. His inebriation may have been made worse by the simultaneous presence of an anti-depressant and traces of a tranqulizing anti-psychotic in his body.
