How Strong Is A Lightning Strike?

By definition, <a href="http://www.triviacell.com/2014/06/how-strong-is-lightning-strike.html" target="_blank">lighting is a strong electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions of the clouds either within or between or between them and the surface of the earth</a>. It is strong enough to destroy a whole coconut tree, rip off a branch of an acacia tree, or kill an animal when hit by its point of strike. A lightning flash can contain 1 billion volts of electricity and is believed to be 5 times hotter than the surface of the sun.<br /> <br /> <b>How does a lightning can form?</b><br /> <br /> It primarily occurs when colder air masses mixed results in atmospheric disturbances necessary for polarizing the atmosphere. The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize through a lightning flash named a strike, where the lighting hits an object on the ground. It does not only occur during low pressure. It can occur during dust storms, forest fires, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions and even in cold winters where commonly known as thundersnow.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img alt="How Strong Is A Lightning Strike?" border="0" height="398" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7ZJZeHP4pPA/U4wQF2qkxRI/AAAAAAAACk8/racTYw6TMWI/s1600/How-Strong-Is-A-Lightning-Strike.png" title="How Strong Is A Lightning Strike?" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>There are three primary types of lightning</b>; from the cloud to itself called <b>intra-cloud (IC)</b>, from one cloud to another <b>cloud (CC)</b>, and between a cloud and the <b>ground (CG)</b>. Lightings are always followed by a loud sound called thunder. Though we often notice that not all lightings are accompanied by thunders but in reality they occurred together but heard or viewed at different times.<br /> <br /> <b>Many factors affect the frequency, distribution, strength and physical properties of a lightning flash in a particular place</b>. These may include ground elevation, latitude, prevailing wind currents, relative humidity, proximity to warm and cold bodies of water.<br /> <br /> <b>The temperature of the lightning is extremely hot.</b> It is five times hotter than the sun’s surface. It poses great danger when people struck by it. According to records, 2,000 people are killed worldwide each year and hundreds are left miserable suffering from memory loss, weakness, numbness, or even deformities. So no one should really under estimate the power a lightning has.

Who would like to refuse such appealing, cheap, delicious and nutritious attractive fruit? Its yellowish color stands out in the middle of the market or even in the midst of the forest. It is almost available everywhere. The point is nobody is really a stranger when it comes to the taste and nutrient value of banana. Almost everybody is deeply madly in love with bananas.<br /> <br /> <b>Monkeys are animals that thrive in forest where abundance of banana is out of the question. </b>They usually concentrate their efforts in finding foods for survival. While in the forest, bananas find their nutrients in the healthy foliage and products of decomposition. In this kind of habitat, monkeys don’t really choose to eat banana only.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img alt="Are Monkeys Madly In-love With Banana?" border="0" height="308" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oPDsWUB1gzM/U4wO2DDBfkI/AAAAAAAACkw/9t7VjbjBD0c/s1600/Are-Monkeys-Madly-In-love-With-Banana.png" title="Are Monkeys Madly In-love With Banana?" width="640" /></div> <br /> They eat leaves, fruits of other plants and even other animals. That is why they are considered omnivores. They don’t have specifics with regards to food. As long as it is available to them and easy to pick, they would just grab it and put direct to their mouth. They love to pick berries, seeds, nuts, flowers and leaves. They are fond of eating bugs and meats too.<br /> <br /> <b>The other reason why they can’t do away from eating banana is that maybe they feel good and satisfied by its taste and nutrients it offers them. Bananas are so delicious and tender. </b>They don’t have to exert a lot of effort in pealing the banana. It is also very easy to find. Banana is also full of potassium that helps every fiber of their muscle in working. Though they don’t have any idea how it keeps them strong but surely they feel good after finishing some fingers of banana.

Why Do Lobsters Change To Red When Cooked?

<b>Lobsters are beautiful and colorful when caught alive</b>. They possess a combination of different colors. It changes from brilliant bluish green to grayish brown in their outer covering called exoskeleton. Sometimes they look like a mixture of deep orange to brown. <b>Lobsters appear famous as part of a dish or a main course in all occasions.</b> They can be boiled with spices or steamed whole. It can be used in soup or dipped in clarified butter enhancing its sweetness. Not to forget, they are popular for lobster rolls where people go crazy when they experience a small bite of it. <b>Knowing all these, has anyone wondered<a href="http://www.triviacell.com/2014/05/why-lobsters-change-to-red-when-cooked.html" target="_blank"> why they changes color when put in fire?</a></b><br /> <br /> <b>Significantly, this article would like to clarify that not only lobsters possess such changes but also the crabs and shrimps.

When the heat destroys the protein, it uncoils releasing the red pigment bringing reddish orange color to your favorite steamed whole lobster.<br /> <br /> <b>Beware of this. It does not mean that if they did not change color, they are not yetdone or cooked. </b>Thus, it doesn’t have to take a lot of waiting until the color changed before removing from the fire. Overcooking might spoil the taste and juiciness of the lobster. Redness is not a reliable sign that signals your cooking is done. It shows that you have just destroyed the dark proteins in their shells exposing its most beautiful, vibrant and palatable color.

Worm That Heals

<b>This may sounds odd but yes, a <a href="http://www.triviacell.com/2014/05/worm-that-heals.html" target="_blank">maggot can actually heal up your wounds</a>.</b> Considered more effective than modern antibiotics, maggots raised its flag in the field of healing wounds. It is known for a lot of names like <b>maggot debridement therapy, larval therapy, larvae therapy, biodebridement or biosurgery</b>.<br /> <br /> <b>Its chronicle started when as wound treatment by Maya Native Americans and Aboriginal trines in Australia.</b> In the Renaissance times, military physicians observed its significant role in healing wounds of wounded soldiers. The use of maggots caused morbidity and mortality to drop. During that time, there was severe scarcity of medications specially antibiotics.<br /> <br /> <b>During the American Civil War, a ranking Confederate medical officer in the name of Dr. Joseph Jones said that he had frequently seen neglected wounds</b>… have been filled with maggots… these worms ate only dead tissues and did not enjoy the clean and healthy tissues living the wound clean and as red as fresh meat.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="Worm That Heals" border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-p0hHN8RVCyU/U4G_O85UxjI/AAAAAAAACXo/21WDa94GYGQ/s1600/Worm-That-Heals.png" title="Worm That Heals" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>One reported account was recorded during the World War I when an orthopedic doctor discovered the amazing efficacy of maggots in healing wounds</b>. One soldier has been left in the battle field with sustained compound fractures of the femur and large wounds at the abdomen and scrotum. When examined thoroughly, they saw thousands and thousands of maggots filled the entire wound area. After the maggots were removed, what’s left was a fresh and pink healthy tissue, a good sign of healing.<br /> <br /> <b>Maggot therapy gains popularity up to this time</b>. Researchers are non-stop in discovering better ways of improving its use in the medical field. Now, it is popularly used intreating osteomyelitis, abscesses, burns, and chronic empyema.  These maggots are feeding on necrotic and dead tissues sparing the healthy ones. Therefore, wound heals. In 2004, the US Food and Drug Administration gave permission in producing and marketing maggots for debriding non-healing necrotic skin and soft tissue wounds like pressure ulcers and diabetic foot infections. It can be availed only by a prescription of a physician.  British National Health Service permitted doctors in prescribing maggot therapy. It has been made legal to prescribe as medical drug in US and Canada as well in countries of Europe.<br /> <br /> <b>The use of maggot therapy saved a lot of patients in suffering possible side effects of popping antibiotic pills. </b>It may feel very uncomfortable to have strange worms inside the body but it is not just worms.

Urine is Not a Waste to Waste

<b>Who would have thought that a 0.2ml of urine could generate 1.5 volts of electrical charge enough to power a disposable health kit.</b>That is not the only benefit one could get from urine.Another is itsrole in survival like in jelly fish stings and during dehydration and extreme heat in the dessert: it is used to cool down body temperature by soaking a piece of cloth and covering it over the head. What is urine and its composition and why it is considered the next big thing in the power production.<br /> <br /> <b>Urine is a sterile liquid waste and by-product of the body secreted by the kidneys through a process called urination</b>. It is sterile until it reaches the urethra where anaerobic Gram negative rods and cocci propagate a bunch of population. Urine is an aqueous solution of greater than 95% water. I<b>t has also concentration of urea 9.3g/L, chloride 1.87 g/L, sodium 1.17 g/L, potassium 0.75 g/L, creatinine 0.67 g/L and other dissolved ions, inorganic and organic compounds.</b><br /> <b><br /></b> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="Urine is Not a Waste to Waste" border="0" height="374" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eNdvDC_u96c/U4G8h8KKfiI/AAAAAAAACXc/KhJUgApEnhU/s1600/Urine-is-Not-a-Waste-to-Waste.png" title="Urine is Not a Waste to Waste" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>It contains large quantities of nitrogen (from urea), phosphates and potassium which are the nutrients significant for the plants to survive.</b> Studies have shown that an actual 1 liter of urine diluted in 5 liters of water can be used as direct fertilizer.<br /> <br /> <b>Interestingly enough, r<a href="http://www.triviacell.com/2014/05/urine-is-not-waste-to-waste.html" target="_blank">esearchers in the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, Singapore have invented a battery powered by urine</a>. </b>Other research attempts were done by Dr. Shanwe Toa and Dr. Rong Lanfrom Heriot-Watt University,UK.

Though it sounded great still it posted disadvantage. Their research has limitations in terms of material safety during storage and transport. One more thing is the cost.<br /> <br /> <b>In the history of manufacturing gunpowder, urine has played a significant role. </b>As a nitrogen source, it was used to moisten straw or other organic material, which was kept moist and allowed to rot for several months to over a year.

If you are a cook or a mom who prepares daily dish for the family, your <b>culprit is incutting this pungent ingredient that causes irritation in the eyes.</b><br /> <br /> <b>Onion is a round vegetable with strong odor and taste</b>. It belongs to the genus Allium. It is cultivated and popularly used as spice in food preparation. It contains a lot of healthy substances like phenolics and flavonoids that commonly known as anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol, anticancer, and antioxidant properties. Good news for you, who can’t afford to buy pills for your high blood pressure. Maybe it is proper to say that an onion a day keeps your doctor away.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="Cutting Onions Made Easy, No More Tears" border="0" height="342" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GH1RxY2NMgE/U4G10Cza9MI/AAAAAAAACXM/fxbkFhyU7AE/s1600/Cutting-Onions-Made-Easy,-No-More-Tears.png" title="Cutting Onions Made Easy, No More Tears" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>You may wonder how this thing can make you cry.</b> Onions emit compounds that irritate the lachrymal glands resulting to release of tears as it tries to flush out the chemical. During chopping, a chemical reaction take place and a volatile gas known as the <b>onion lachrymatory factor is being released</b>. This gas diffuses to the air and your eyes catch it. Activated by the gas, your sensory neurons detect the unpleasant sensation. Your tear glands then come to rescue by releasing tears to dilute and flush out the invader.<br /> <br /> <b>How to save galloons of tears form your eyes?</b> There are lots of ways to save you from the hell of cutting onions. First, simple techniques like soaking the onion in a basin of water, you can put salt or vinegar in it. The purpose is to denature its enzymes. You may want to freeze it for 20 minutes before cutting. Using a sharp knife is also of help to you. This avoids too much damage to the cells that releases gaseous irritant. You have to cut from top sparing the bottom that contains highest concentration of enzymes. Therefore, lessen your exposure to the strong enzyme release.<br /> <br /> <b>Other technique includes opening your mouth and breathing through it.</b> This will save you from feeling the irritant in your eyes.  Avoiding the air current by facing in a fan or open window can help. If you don’t have one, you may want to do the trick by whistling while cutting. You may appear happy while cooking but the truth is it saves you from crying. Putting a candle light near you is also helpful. The gas is being drawn by the flame of the candle. You may look funny with this next technique but it can help rather than going swimming in tears: wear a goggle.<br /> <br /> <b>Since you cannot avoid cutting onions, you have to learn the techniques.</b> You have to know how to bend or else you will break in cutting it. However, there is not much to worry.  As promised by advancing technology, you will not cry anymore because genetic engineers are in their way of producing a tear-free onion while maintaining its taste, smell and health benefits.

Things We Don’t Know About Bulldogs

<b><a href="http://www.triviacell.com/2014/05/things-we-dont-know-about-bulldogs.html" target="_blank">Bulldog</a> is a breed</b> characterized by a <b>short, strong dog with a large neck and head</b>. Another prominent feature is having a<b> pronounced mandibular prognathism</b>, making his looks more interesting than any other breeds. They have <b>thick folds of skin in their brows, round, black wide-set eyes</b>. They also have hanging skin under the neck, drooping lips, and pointed teeth. These characteristics are typical to them and made them easily identified.However, some of these characteristics come from a cross breed with <b>the pug which is a toy dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face and a cute curly tai</b>l. The outcome was a <b>shorter, wider dog with a brachycephalic skull.</b><br /> <b><br /></b> <br /> The dog gained the name <b>“bull”</b> because of its use in the sport of <b>bull baiting</b>.This portrays a number of dogs released in a fight against a tethered bull. Each dog has been wagered so that the first dog who can grab the bull by the nose wins the game. Sadly, during the fight, a lot of dogs got trampled, gored, or tossed up in the air by the gigantic bull. By and by, dogs used for bull-baiting evolve into more stocky bodies and massive heads and jaws. Their temperament changed adamantly into ferocious and savage.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="Things We Don’t Know About Bulldogs" border="0" height="376" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--cEslKWdqNM/U4GzAEJQh1I/AAAAAAAACW0/QKSwCmIt7CE/s1600/Things-We-Don%E2%80%99t-Know-About-Bulldogs.png" title="Things We Don’t Know About Bulldogs" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>Thanks to the breeders who trained the bulldog to be less aggressive. </b>Now, it is known for its good temperament being friendly, patient and jolly. It can easily build trust and can develop attachment with his master and even to other pets in the house. It won’t dare go out in the yard without a human companion. Unlike other breeds, he would choose to sleep on a lap rather than to play with a ball outside. Though today's Bulldog looks tough, he cannot perform the job he was originally created for as he cannot withstand the rigors of running and being thrown by a bull, and also cannot grip with such a short muzzle.<br /> <br /> <b>Contrary to what we already know, this cuddly creature is so delicate that he needs a good shelter, food and water. </b>Due to its brachycephalic features, he is prone for overheating that is why he should be kept in an air-conditioned and well-ventilated environment. He needs ample of exercises because he is prone for obesity therefore resulting to heart ad joint problems. All in all, he needs our tender loving care.

To Wear or Not to Wear Hijab: Female Muslim Dress Code

<b>Whenever you see a woman all covered from head to toe you would easily conclude that she is indeed a Muslim.</b> This norm brings us to the most exciting issue whether to wear or not to wear these body coverings.<br /> <br /> <b>The clothing that Muslim women wear to conceal their head and body is called ‘<a href="http://www.triviacell.com/2014/05/hijab-female-muslim-dress-code.html" target="_blank">hijab</a></b>. It is a veil that covers the head and chest, which is particularly worn by a female Muslim beyond the age of puberty in the attempt to gain respect in the presence of adult males other than their immediate family.The wearing of hijab has rooted from the religious text of <b>Islam called Koran (or Quran)</b> which instructed that both Muslim men and women dress-up in a modest way.Most often, it is worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty, privacy and morality.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img alt="To Wear or Not to Wear Hijab: Female Muslim Dress Code" border="0" height="374" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3VTAgI9bcFs/U4GyHBAqWGI/AAAAAAAACWo/V9Yt56rJ6aA/s1600/Hijab-Female-Muslim-Dress-Code.png" title="To Wear or Not to Wear Hijab: Female Muslim Dress Code" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>Wearing of hijab is a way of liberating female Muslim from the norms of the world. </b>It safeguards them from the liberated fashion styles, media advertisements and numbers of things the world could offer so they forget the things they highly value as a Muslim. Wearing a haijb is a way of expressing oneself as valuable and precious comparable to a treasure hidden for a long time waiting for the right time to be spent wisely. Muslim women reached the state of self-actualization, gaining more self-confidence and self-respect. They felt secure for who they are in the world they were in.<br /> <br /> <b>Surprisingly, there are some women who developed revolution within themselves whether to wear or not.</b> In the Facebook there is a page called <b>“My Stealthy Freedom”</b> featuring women across Iran posting photos of them without the hijab. This page has around 150 photos in it showing women on the beach, on the street etc. without their scarfs on. <b>This page hit 130,000 likes.</b><br /> <br /> <b> "I loathe the hijab. I too like the feel of the sun and the wind on my hair. Is this a big sin?"</b> someone commented.<br /> <br /> She has a point. However, will this put her Muslim values in jeopardy? Whether to wear or not to wear hijab mainly depends on someone’s conviction. We don’t have to argue with that.

A River Reversed Flow

Have you ever observed something that is extraordinary and out of this world? How about watching a river running backwards, will that freak you out? If you could witness such event, then you would probably jump out of your skin right away.<br /> <br /> <b>Well, it did happen in Mississippi River. In 1811 and 1812</b>, a series of earthquakes emanated from New Madrid, Missouri, and were felt as far away as Ohio and South Carolina.It was recorded magnitude 8 but researchers refused because according to them, they were using the newest intensity scale. They put it in the 7 range. The soil beneath the Mississippi River rose, temporarily changing its course so that it flowed backward. It came about when a thrust fault created a sudden dam several feet high near the bottom of the river loop near New Madrid.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="Trivia: A River Reversed Flow" border="0" height="408" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hkE_k7BEKDM/U3nLNUA7kwI/AAAAAAAACMo/oHnaHy79CvM/s1600/A-River-Reversed-Flow.png" title="Trivia: A River Reversed Flow" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT</b><br /> <br /> According to the boatmen who were rudely awakened in the middle of the night, and had to hold their hats on while their boat went rapidly upstream for "more than a mile," ... "four miles" ... "at the speed of a fast horse" ... "It was a current going backward."<br /> <br /> "In a moment, great waves wave come up the river that I never seen one like it at sea. It carried us back north, up-stream, for more than a mile. The water spread out upon the banks -- covering three or four miles inland.”<br /> <br /> "It was the current going backward. Then this wave stopped, and slowly the river went right again.”<br /> <br /> "Everywhere there was noise like thunder. The ground was shaking the trees down. The air was thick with something like smoke. There was much lightning.”<br /> <br /> <b>MUSKOGEE ACCOUNT</b><br /> <br /> Muskogee people are descendants of the Mississippian culture peoples, who built earthwork mounds at their regional chiefdoms located throughout the Mississippi River valley and its tributaries. They believed the phenomenon was a river god, the Tie Snake, jolting under the ground startling the waters from beneath.<br /> Back in the good old days, the Tie Snake was believed to be an antlered river monster which harbored beneath the water and connecting the Upper and Lower Worlds, order and chaos. Muskogee culture focused on communal prosperity, but their traditions had been significantly altered by the infiltration of European traditions. Some Muskogee people believed that the Tie Snake was calling them to return to a traditional lifestyle—and warning them to stop the Europeans from maxing out their culture.<br /> <br /> <b>LATEST EVENT</b><br /> <br /> Unsurprisingly, this phenomenon is not as rare as you might think.  In fact, the Mississippi did flow backward when Hurricane Isaac hit the place. Strong winds and storm surge from Hurricane Isaac's landfall forced the Mississippi River to flow backwards for nearly 24 hours on August 28, 2012.As Hurricane Isaac pushed further inland, it caused storm surge in the Mississippi River as far north as Baton Rouge, where the river has crested at 8 feet above its prior height.<br /> <br /> Hurricanes can cause coastal rivers to reverse flow rooted in researches. Between the extremely strong winds and the massive waves of water pushed by those winds, rivers at regular or low flow are forced backwards until either the normal river-flow or the elevation of the land stop the inflow.<br /> <br /> This reversal of flow of the mighty Mississippi is but one measure of the extreme force of Isaac. This is a reminder why we shouldrespect hurricane warnings.<br /> <br /> Things like this might happen again in the near future. As a matter of fact, minor tremors do occur along the New Madrid Fault Line on an almost daily basis. Scientists believe that another major quake is unpreventable. Populations dwelling along the Mississippi River are woefully ill-prepared for the kind of earthquakes that occurred in 1812. It’s not a matter of IF such an earthquake will occur – it’s a matter of WHEN. Time will tell.

Serial Bird Killers

<b>In May 24, 2013</b>, a <b>game called <a href="http://www.centertechnews.com/2014/02/flappy-bird-addicting-game-of-early-year-2014-created-by-dong-nguyen.html" target="_blank">flappy bird</a> was released</b>. It was developed by a Vietnamese guy named Nguyen Ha Dong and published by GEARS Studios a small independent game developer based in Vietnam. The mechanics involves tapping the screen of the phone to help the bird flaps upward. If the screen is not tapped, the bird falls due to gravity. The objective to the said game is to direct a flying bird, which moves non-stop to the right between each coming set of pipes without colliding with them, otherwise the game ends and the bird dies. The good thing is it is just a game.<br /> <br /> <b>Do you have any idea how many millions of birds were slaughtered each day by human infrastructures? </b>Strangely speaking buildings and windows topped the list.  Other serial bird killersare high tension lines, vehicles, pesticides, communication towers, wind turbines and even cats. Yes, our friendly kitty pet cat can also be a killer of this two-winged friend of ours.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="Serial Bird Killers" border="0" height="360" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CNO_mAF7RFw/U3jDgp3_GyI/AAAAAAAACKw/72cTt7O7D0U/s1600/Serial-Bird-Killers.png" title="Serial Bird Killers" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>Tall buildings under construction often have clear windows that birds would actually think it is safe to fly through it</b>. And when they did, they end up suicidal. The solution for this is in the hands of the construction workers. They can cover the windows with magazines or nets to alarm the birds of its danger.<br /> High tension wires fall on the second place in the list.As the birds fly at night, they are using the stars for navigation. They often get confused with the tower lights thinking it is a star.<br /> <br /> <b>Kidding aside, cats do play a role in killing birds.</b> It is up to you if you would choose to kill your cat in the house or allow them to catch birds in the backyard instead.<br /> <br /> <b>Pesticides are dangerous not only to birds but to humans.</b> Pity the birds but we cannot put our harvest at stake by not using pesticides. Otherwise, developers should make bird-friendly pesticides.<br /> <br /> <b>While enjoying your mobile phones at home or of any sort, birds got killed by those lines. </b>Wind turbines on the other hand contribute a little percentage in the record. It is speculated that it will increase because a lot of farm lands are now building gigantic wind turbines. Therefore, more birds will dig their graves in the farmlands.<br /> <br /> <b>If flappy bird would be real, then he must be very scared to mind those things that could kill him other than flying through two green pipes.</b>

The Miracle of Autoimmune Disease

<b>Our body is so powerful that it can actually kill itself while protecting it from possible hazard. </b>We are constantly in contact with exogenous elements like viruses, bacteria, allergies. When they successfully invade our body’s strong defense, this is when things started. The immune system’s miraculous act kicks in acting like a strong army trying to protect a colony. It recognizes the invading agents as an enemy. Therefore, they get wild getting rid of it before it can cause a considerable amount of damage. Unfortunately, they get a little confused at times.<b> They start attacking something that is not an invading agent but itself! This is what we call an <a href="http://www.triviacell.com/2014/05/the-miracle-of-autoimmune-disease.html" target="_blank">autoimmune disorder</a>.</b><br /> <b><br /></b> <b>DEFINITION: </b>It is a condition that arises through aberrant reactions of human adaptive or innate immune systems.<br /> <br /> The backbone of our immune system is the ability to recognize which is a part of us and which is not. This ability is so great that it can figure what is his and what is not! Sometimes this ability can get a little dysfunctional and it recognizes self as foreign. True as it may seem, it doesn’t mean they attack everything there is in the body. There is a specific tissue that the immune system can attack which is being activated by the body’s own protein.<br /> <br /> <b><br /></b> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="The Miracle of Autoimmune Disease" border="0" height="294" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-396dxY6s8vg/U3f5YJ7nhEI/AAAAAAAACJ4/M8X8vLRpKT0/s1600/The-Miracle-of-Autoimmune-Disease.png" title="The Miracle of Autoimmune Disease" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>The Causes of Autoimmune Disease</b><br /> <br /> Autoimmune is thought to be brought by a combination of genetics, infection and environmental factors. Physical and/or emotional stress, a poor diet, or an overstressed immune system is just a few of the other factors that may trigger the initiation or flare-up of an autoimmune disease. Recent studies have also found a possible link between low Vitamin D levels and a number of autoimmune diseases.<br /> <br /> While both men and women are vulnerable, women are three times more likely to develop autoimmune diseases than men.75% of all autoimmune diseases are in women.

The museum is called <b>Sinchon Museum of United States War Atrocities</b>. This museum is <b>located in Sinchon, North Korea</b> displaying the massacre that took place in the place with the <b>USA as the culprit</b>.<br /> <br /> According to history, the said <b>massacre sacrificed the lives of 35,000 people in a series of events from October 17 to November 7, 1950 wherein during that time, the USA army</b> was there and it was an <b>American occupation</b>.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="A Museum in North Korea Blames the USA for Mass Murder" border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lUc4FC8w9-M/U0O7YXmZ48I/AAAAAAAAAGg/cqSdHFQ7Er0/s1600/A+Museum+in+North+Korea+Blames+the+USA+for+Mass+Murder.jpg" title="A Museum in North Korea Blames the USA for Mass Murder" width="640" /></div> <br /> In the museum, there were buildings, grave sites and other memorabilia of the said even that is so painful for the Koreans to remember.

But the thing is that it didn’t happen and there are stories telling that America did not even participate and just let things happen that eventually sacrificed the lives of many Koreans.<br /> <br /> This is one of the reasons why North Korea still considers USA as an enemy nowadays.

It is Legal to Marry a Dead Person in France

<b>Posthumous marriage is legal in France</b>. To understand what this <b>kind of marriage</b> is, this is when someone marries a dead person. This is also<b> practiced in different countries around the world which include China and Sudan despite the fact that it is heavily criticized</b>.<br /> <br /> What’s so interesting on this issue in France is that it happened <b>mostly between soldiers who died in World War I</b> wherein the women who were left find a proxy soldier to marry the deceased one. There were so many instances when women got depressed because their partner never returned home and they became sentimental over the matter up to the point that they are not ready to let go of the person that led to marriage.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img alt="It is Legal to Marry a Dead Person in France" border="0" height="395" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-92_1ZtwK09I/U0PKPCFGCDI/AAAAAAAAAHc/KvFdFjQDc5g/s1600/It+is+Legal+to+Marry+a+Dead+Person+in+France.jpg" title="It is Legal to Marry a Dead Person in France" width="640" /></div> <br /> Looking at the history of this custom, we will draw back to the early <b>France wherein a dam broke in 1950s killing 400 people</b> in <b>Frejus </b>which included<b> Andre Capra </b>who was engaged during that time to <b>Irene Jodart.</b> Because of what happened, the lady pleaded with the president named <b>Charles De Gaulle</b> and the case went to court. The mainstream media even supported her that materialized her dream of marrying her dead fiancé.<br /> <br /> This is quite odd and gross to listen to especially to those who do not agree with the practice. For some, this is a sign of true and everlasting love wherein even death cannot separate. We cannot blame the person in engaging in such activity if love is involved. Being in the situation may cause someone to be called insane and the like but the idea of not letting go of the promises and the love that had been agreed by two people is something so divine. <b>The issue here is not about condemning the person but understanding the situation that when time comes, healing can happen.</b>

Though there are historical backgrounds that in the early ages, especially in the Bible there were marriages between cousins as much as possible, this is not encouraged.<br /> <br /> This is <b>different in Utah</b> because <b>it is legal as long as you are 65 years old and above</b>. Well, there are so many angles that you can see with regards to the issue knowing the fact that the age is quite not that sexually active and there is a very low chance of getting an offspring.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <img border="0" height="425" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UjQ2yoxidd4/U0O02a2PpAI/AAAAAAAAAGE/IP9H5gSNkDM/s1600/You+Can+Marry+Your+First+Cousin+in+Utah+if+You+are+65+Years+Old.jpg" width="640" /></div> <br /> <b>Here are the grounds and conditions for marrying a cousin in Utah:</b><br />      <b>(a)</b> both parties are 65 years of age or older; or<br />     <b> (b) </b>if both parties are 55 years of age or older, upon a finding by the district court, located in the district in which either party resides, that either party is unable to reproduce.<br /> <br /> It is clear that the reason for allowing marriage at that age along with the conditions is that both parties are not able to reproduce because reproduction can be dangerous and the child will suffer. Though this is applicable in Utah, not all states in America are conforming to it. Majority of the states aside from Utah are against marriages between first cousins.<br /> <br /> <b>Looking at the issue will cause you to give your own opinion. Are you in favor with this?
