.... chance and luck contributed to their overall success. People take chances on a daily basis. If you actually stop and think about it, life is one big game of chance. It is by chance that we are born, that we continue to survive, and that we will eventually die. Some people feel that this cycle occurs do to the will of God, others, like Charles Darwin believe that it happens based on chance or natural selection. Whatever you believe or disbelieve, life cannot be planned. No matter how hard a person attempts to "plan" their path in life, it is by chance and luck where that path takes us. Darwin's career was also based on chance, not planning. .....

.... known as a polymer composite. One particular polymer has three times the strength of tempered steel and is being used in bullet proof vests. Another composite will be used to fasten together the sections proposed space stations. have also been used in cars, including the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Fiero. New are being created with more strength and flexibility by combing two chemically different and producing a block copolymer. Combinations of block co and composites and intended for use in booster rockets and in materials of Earth-orbiting installations. Most common are usually solid, but a new class of is being introduced in a liquid cry .....

.... travel in groups and sometimes form asteroid belts that can wrap around an entire solar system. There are about 150 known asteroids that travel in a path near the earth, and they are actually called, "near-earth" asteroids. About 10 percent are bound to hit earth eventually. Asteroids ranging from fine dust, to house size rocks make up the belt around Saturn, and the belt on the outside of the orbit of Mars. These are pieces of larger rocks that were crashed into the remaining pieces after millions of years of crashes. Each ring system has distinctive features. Jupiter's rings are tenuous and made mainly of dark particles the size of those in ci .....

.... western U.S. with even a few in the east, but nearly half of the cases to date have been in the Four Corners area. In a dry area, the disease’s incubation is somewhat longer, making the chances of contracting it somewhat higher. In places such as woodpiles and sheds where there is little air circulation to move off the virus, it can linger for a sizeable duration of time. The best method of fighting the hanta virus is prevention. By controlling the rodent population and preventing them from entering houses and sheds, the risk of infection can be lowered. Furthermore, educating those in high-risk areas of the signs of the disease and what to do .....

.... they pass through a complete cycle per second; or by their wavelength, which is determined by the distance (by meters) that is traveled from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next. Radio frequencies are measured in units called kilohertz, megahertz, and gigahertz. (1 kilohertz = 1000 hertz : 1 megahertz = 106 hertz, 1 gigahertz = 109 hertz). All radio waves fall within a frequency range of 3 kilohertz, or 3000 cycles per second to 30 gigahertz. Within the range of frequencies, radio waves are further divided into two groups or bands such as very low frequency ( VLF 10-30 kHz ), low frequency (LF 30-300 KHz), medium frequency ( MF 300-3000 .....

.... of the energy that leaves, botteling heat like the glass panels of a greenhouse. Without this natural "greenhouse effect," temperatures would be alot lower than they are now, and life like today would not work. Instead, thanks to greenhouse gases, the earth's average temperature is better, 60°F. But, problems may happen when the amount of greenhouse gases increases. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, great amounts of carbon dioxide have increased nearly 30%, methane concentrations have almost doubled, and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen about 15%. These increases have made the heat-trapping worse in the .....

.... born calves, which are baby giraffes, begin their lives by falling 6 feet to the ground. Usually a calve stands 6 feet tall and is able to stand after birth. They are highly attuned to danger thanks to their height and good sense of smell and eyesight. They can be fast and can reach speeds of up to 35 mph. Females spend over 12 hours a day looking, while males are less. Night mostly spent lying down ruminating, especially hours after dark and before dawn. A Giraffe has 2 ways of getting around which is walking and galloping. The long legs and short trunk decree an ambling walk, with the entire weight supported alternatively on the left and .....

.... muscle in order for them to perform their optimal potential. This lack of ability to get oxygen to the muscle is called oxygen debt and results in lactic acid being formed. Lactic acid is a waste product of anaerobic cellular respiration within the muscle tissue, which can cause muscle sourness that, usually, is felt after a hard or long workout. Fatigue usually sets in with the onset of lactic acid production. Oxygen is carried to the muscle by two delivery systems. Three percent of oxygen is carried in plasma and ninety-seven percent is in hemoglobin, the principal protein in erythrocytes (red blood cells). If hemoglobin amounts are increased .....

.... 99.5% of a Diamond is Carbon and the rest are different trace elements. These 0.5% of elements are the reason why a Diamond has different color shades. For example Nitrogen causes it to have a yellow tint , and Boron a blue shade. The pink color in some are thought to be caused by deformation of the atomic structure of the diamond crystal. A pure Diamond , which would be 100% carbon, is colorless were created million years ago, when the earth was formed, the material experienced pressure of 5million times the atmosphere at sea level and temperatures between 1000~1200degreesC. These conditions caused carbon in the layers inside the planet to cryst .....
