So why is the ocean salty while the rivers are mostly fresh water? The reason for this is how the sun vaporizes the water in the ocean and rains it down over land. The sun vaporizes almost pure fresh water from the ocean, most of the salts are left behind. And even though rivers are mostly fresh water, the little salt each liter of river water brings into the sea adds up over millions of rivers and millions of years.

The sea water contain about 3.5% of salt today, that is 35 parts of salts for every 1000 parts of ocean water. In some places there is more salt while some parts of the ocean the salt level is way lower, that is in areas close to several big rivers where lots of fresh water runs into the sea.

There have been countless theories throughout history about how and when the world will go under, we call them doomsday theories, apocalypse theories or just conspiracy theories if you don’t believe in them.

The reason why 2012 is special is because the Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012. Their calendar is called the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, and it is a non-repeating calendar used by several Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, not just the Maya. This calendar counts the number of days that has passed since what the Maya believe was the creating date, August 11, 3114 BC in the gregorian calendar.

The believers in the doomsday theories of the end of the world December 21, 2012 claim there are many signs that foreshadow this event. Events they point to were the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Tsunami in Thailand December 26, 2004, the Hurricane Katrina August 26, 2005 and the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

The believers also have different ways they believe the world will end in 2012. We have claims that there will be a magnetic pole reversal, giant earthquakes all over the world, solar storms, nuclear war and that the mystical planet of Nibiru will hit earth and end all life.

None of these theories have any support from serious scientists, and even the Mayans themselves didn’t expect the world to end in 2012. They actually believed it would be a time of great celebrations and luck as the planet would have passed through one great cycle of their calendar. All we can do is to wait and see what happens, and hope that we will still be here for Christmas 2012.

But as far as the assumptions go, there are several. One of the reasons came out that Rihanna found out that Chris was cheating on her and she was very upset and decided to let him know exactly how she felt and hit him while he was driving. Of course he did not like that and that led to the assault.

Another few reasons is something about her giving Chris herpes which of course it is all being denied, another is that she broke up with him and he couldn’t handle it so decided to beat some sense into her.  It is said that they left the pre-grammy party and shortly after was found fighting in Chris’s Lamborghini. It is said that she grabbed the keys to his car and threw them out the window, which caused Chris to flare up into a rage. She said they looked everywhere for the keys and came back empty handed and that is when he choked her and told her he was going to kill her.

Again no one knows for sure but them.

Although there were many speculations about his skin condition in the 90′s, the media and the public portrayed him as turning his back on his own African heritage. He was said to have been bleaching his skin so he would look like a white man. It was not until his appearance on the Opera Winfrey show in 1993 that he announced on nationwide television that he had the skin disease “vitiligo” which was confirmed by his doctor; Arnold Klein, in 1994. His doctor testified that this diagnosis was made in 1984 along with Michael Jackson having lupus erythematosus which both of these diseases cause pigmentation loss of the skin.  Michael had to undergo several plastic surgeries to correct the damages caused by both diseases which in turn drastically changed his appearance.  We may never know how much of this story is true if at all.

By the Middle Ages, a legend came about that when Jesus was born during the winter, all the trees in the world shook off the ice and snow and sprouted new leaves of green. At this time Christians became more lenient to practices having to do with the evergreen trees.

Records became more clear during the Renaissance of the trees symbolizing Christmas which started in Lativa in 1510. There is no real proof but it has been said that the Christmas Tree was invented by Martin Luther the Protestant reformer. Legend also has it that the Christmas tree started with medieval plays that were based on stories from the bible which were put on as a part of the Church’s worship. The Christmas tree finally became very popular in the 17th century, even though many protestants felt that it took away from the true meaning of the evergreen, being Jesus Christ. But in time Churches put their trees in their sanctuary and decorated them with lights and ornaments.

When your eyes lubricate themselves on a regular basis this is called basal. When your eyes get irritated or something is bugging them then as a reflex they will produce tears.Now when it comes to emotional tears these are produced for several different reasons such as being sad, angry, and even when you laugh super hard it makes you cry. We also cry when we are physically hurt and researchers have found that the body does know the difference between tears of emotion or physical pain. This is just a little information on tears and why people cry, of course it goes way deeper when you start looking at it in a scientific matter on how our bodies actually create tears.

What we eat provides us the energy we need to do our every day activities. The easiest thing for our body to digest is things like sugar and starches which are all carbohydrates which in return breaks down into glucose which is the bodies most favorite type of energy. If you do not provide enough carbs for your body, then our body will get it from the fat or protein that is stored in us, and if we get too much carbs then our body will just store them up as fat. When you are on a good protein diet then you are providing yourself with raw materials which our body turns into amino acids which in turn helps to build and repair our body “parts”. We need plenty of protein to for our immune systems, and all the organs of our bodies. Our body needs plenty of calcium which keeps our bones and teeth healthy and strong. This is just a very small amount of information on why  nutrition is so important in our everyday lives.

Have you noticed that when you do not get the normal amount of sleep that your body requires, you tend to be more grouchy and even clumsy, doing things that you would not normally do on a full night of sleep. If you were to miss a couple of nights of sleep you would not be able to function properly, you would have a hard time thinking straight. Scientist have studied people that have gone five consecutive nights without sleep, the person actually ends up hallucinating. The brain can not function and normal every day tasks become impossible.

So after reading this information, you might have a better understanding of the importance of sleep – for everyone. It is not beneficial for anyone to lose sleep. Did you know that an estimated average of 56,000 traffic accidents are caused by drivers falling asleep, which ends up turning into about 1,500 deaths annually.
