New Super-Earth Planet Found That Could Support Life by BBC News

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:00:37 PST

"The star is less hot than our sun but the planet - called GJ 667Cc - is close enough that its surface temperature should be about the same as Earth's... The planet's much bigger than Earth - about 4.5 times our planet's mass - but it orbits its star about every 28 days, so its year is about one Earth-month... It could have water on it, too."

Coconut Oil & Ayurveda by Charlotte Jernigan

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:02:12 PST

"Coconut oil is perhaps the most misunderstood fatty nutrient. Though, simplistically speaking, coconut oil is a saturated fat, it is important to distinguish coconut oil from the saturated fats that come from animal sources like meat and dairy products. Saturated and hydrogenated fats are solid at room temperature. An exception to this would be coconut oil which is solid at low room temperature because it is saturated with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs assist with the rapid and complete metabolism of other dietary fats. In a lifestyle that includes regular, moderate exercise, MCTs insure that fat is used as an energy fuel for our cells rather than being stored."

"Synchronistic events (SE) are those uncanny coincidences in which the environment seems to be speaking directly to us through events. In my work as a psychologist, I have clients who report radio and television broadcasts, random events of all sorts, comment on what they are thinking as if something was reading their minds.
