Your heart is a pump. It's a muscular organ about the size of your fist, situated slightly left of center in your chest. Your heart is divided into the right and the left side. The division protects oxygen-rich blood from mixing with oxygen-poor blood. Oxygen-poor blood returns to the heart after circulating through your body. The right side of the heart, comprising the right atrium and ventricle, collects and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries. The lungs refresh the blood with a new supply of oxygen. The lungs also breathe out carbon dioxide, a waste product. Oxygen-rich blood then enters the left side of the heart, comprising the left atrium and ventricle. The left side of the heart pumps blood through the aorta to supply tissues throughout the body with oxygen and nutrients. Heart valves Four valves within your heart keep your blood moving the right way by opening only one way and only when they need to. To function properly, the valve must be formed

I always laugh when I see delusional “how to become a millionaire” posts online. Especially since most of them focus on unbelievable ways to get rich. Some of the wildest “make a ton of money” tips include Become a pro athlete. Please don’t count on this. Not only are the odds of becoming a pro-athlete incredibly small (source), but it also requires a lifetime of practice, iteration, and dedication to improvement. And who likes sports? Win the lottery. You already know you’ve got a better chance of being hit by a meteorite or struck by lightning than swimming in a pool of Powerball cash. Join a multi-level marketing (MLM) business. I hate MLMs so much. It’s an industry filled with fraud and broken promises — one in which you can reasonably expect to not only be swindled, but to then swindle others, too. These “get rich quick” schemes are just not realistic. If it were truly that simple, everyone would be wealthy. Having said that, there are some proven, legitimate ways to get ri

An irregular period, medically known as oligomenorrhea, is a common problem among women. It usually refers to infrequent periods with intervals of more than 35 days. A normal menstrual cycle ranges from 21 to 35 days. Menstrual bleeding generally lasts for two to seven days. Women normally have 11 to 13 periods in a year, but those with oligomenorrhea may have fewer than six or seven periods. Irregular periods are characterized by variations in the time between each of your periods, the number of days that your periods last, and abnormal blood loss (whether less or more than usual) during a period. Dry roast a handful of sesame seeds. Grind them along with one teaspoon of jaggery into a fine powder. Take one teaspoon of this powder daily on an empty stomach in the luteal phase, or second half of your menstrual cycle (two weeks before your period starts), for a few months. Simply eating a piece of jaggery, also known as gur, will also help regulate menstruation. Note: Do not use

“BORNO GOVERNOR KNOWS WHERE ABDUCTED SCHOOLGIRLS ARE BEING KEPT —NORTHERN CAN; RAISES 6 POSERS The Northern Region of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has alleged a conspiracy between Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, and the authorities of Government Girls Secondary School Chibok, from where Boko Haram terrorists abducted over 200 mostly Christian girls on April 14. Northern CAN in a statement issued today in Kaduna and signed by its Secretary-General, Prof. Daniel Babayi, and Public Relations Officer, Sunday Oibe, also raised six posers for Governor Shettima. The association alleged that Governor Shettima knows where the abducted children are being kept and should produce them without delay. It also alleged that parents of the affected children are being intimidated by Shettima’s administration, which explains why they are reluctant to volunteer information on their missing children. Northern CAN said in the statement: Since the abduction of some female stud

The mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) is a primate of the Old World monkey (Cercopithecidae) family.[4] It is one of two species assigned to the genus Mandrillus, along with the drill. Both the mandrill and the drill were once classified as baboons in the genus Papio, but they now have their own genus, Mandrillus.[4] Although they look superficially like baboons, they are more closely related to Cerocebus mangabeys. Mandrills are found in southern Cameroon, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo. Mandrills mostly live in tropical rainforests. They live in very large groups. Mandrills have an omnivorous diet consisting mostly of fruits and insects. Their mating season peaks in July to September, with a corresponding birth peak in December to April. Mandrills are the world's largest monkeys. Charles Darwin wrote in The Descent of Man that "no other member in the whole class of mammals is coloured in so extraordinary a manner as the adult male mandrill's".[5] The mandrill is cl

Uncle Sam wants you -- as long as you are a U.S. citizen or a permanent legal resident of the U.S. Non-citizens can join the U.S. Army as an enlisted soldier, providing they meet specific legal immigration requirements. Non-citizens are not eligible to become commissioned officers in the U.S. military, and they may also be barred from certain Military Occupational Specialties, or job categories; particularly those requiring security clearances. Be a permanent legal resident living in the U.S. with permission to work in the country. Neither tourist nor student visas are sufficient for enlistment in the U.S. military, and undocumented immigrants are not eligible to join the U.S. military. Non-citizens must also meet the same standards of physical fitness and education as U.S. citizens seeking to enlist. Have a valid Permanent Residence Card -- form I-551 (popularly known as a Green Card) -- to prove your legal resident status. If you don't have a current I-551, you have to show pro

The fastest growing movement in the financial world is "smart cards". Smart cards, which resemble ordinary credit cards, contain tiny computer chips, capable of storing data, such as bank accounts, medical information, etc. Already widely used in Japan and Europe, according to InformationWeek, (p.4) "BY NEXT YEAR, cards will be used to pay for health care and insurance, to receive government benefits, and to buy items in vending machines . . ." Newsweek magazine, July 31, 1989, (p.54) said smart cards, "may make the old science-fiction notion of a CASHLESS SOCIETY REAL." A pilot program is already being tested at the Marine Corp's Parris Island training base in South Carolina. According to Newsweek, "On payday, recruits receive smart cards rather than cash. When a marine makes a purchase on base, he plugs the card into a small terminal and the sum is automatically deducted from his pay." Newsweek says, "THE BASE IS, IN FACT, A CASHLESS

Salt Lake City, UT | A baby named Lucifer is being hailed as the new “Antichrist” by members of the Salt Lake City Church of Satan chapter, reports the Mormon Messenger this morning. The baby that was born yesterday at Salt Lake City’s University Hospital has stemmed controversy amongst Mormon and Christian communities alike after flyers were found posted around the downtown area claiming “the birth of the Antichrist” and inviting non-members and members of the Church of Satan to celebrate this “sacred birth”. In some Christian belief systems, Jesus the Messiah will appear in his Second Coming to Earth to face the emergence of the Antichrist figure, who will be the greatest false messiah in Christianity. Just as Christ is the savior and the ideal model for humanity, his opponent in the end time will be a single figure of concentrated evil, whom some believe would be the living incarnation of Satan, also known as Baphomet or Lucifer. The newborn boy, who was born Gabriel Lucifer Whit

The shocking number of women in Nigeria and Gambia now is bleaching their skin. Why do they want does that? Is fairer skin really more appealing than beautiful black skin? Skin whitening, skin lightening, and skin bleaching refer to the practice of using chemical substances in an attempt to lighten skin tone or provide an even skin complexion by reducing the melanin concentration in the skin. Several chemicals have been shown to be effective in skin whitening, while some have proven to be toxic or have questionable safety profiles, adding to the controversy surrounding their use and impacts on certain ethnic groups. People have been known to use lightening creams to ‘bleach’/lighten their skin complexions for years. Celebrities and everyday folks alike have resorted to these measures without knowing the long term effects of these creams. In late April, Ivory Coast banned lightening creams (also referred to as “whitening” creams) because of the negative health effects associated wit

The cost of college tuition has increased 1,120% (no, that's not a typo) in the past 30 years.[1] With the cost of college continuing to skyrocket, many students will no longer be able to pay for school out of pocket. While many students use financial aid to offset the cost of school, this can lead to a lifetime of debt. College scholarships, on the other hand, are a great way to pay for college without taking on any debt. With planning, research, and careful preparation, you may be able to get scholarships to pay for part, or all, of your education 1 Search online for scholarships. Begin by searching for scholarships that are specifically for your grade in school. For instance, there are many scholarships designed for high school seniors. The best place to begin in the US is the U.S. Department of Labor's scholarship search, here, which searches over 7,000 scholarship opportunities by category and other keywords. If you are currently enrolled in college, there should be so

Over the past 50 years, our way of life has changed more than in the previous ten thousand years. We are now living in the most exciting era in the history of humanity, the era of great change and accelerating innovation. Average lifespans in the developed countries more than doubled in the 20th century due to increases in welfare, improvements in healthcare, decreases in child mortality and the advent of antibiotics and improved hygiene. What lies ahead however is dramatically different. There are several megatrends and specific technology trends already in the making, and they will undoubtedly make us live significantly longer than our parents and grandparents.
