T&C Facts Matter

Our skeleton is made of up 206 bones by the time we die, but when we are born we about 94 more bones (7 ways Kid Bones Are Different From Adult Bones). Seems odd that we end up with less bones but why do we lose so many? Where do they go? All good questions to ask the experts.  Bones serve as a great function for the human body by  providing mobility, support, and protection for our organs (The Basics of Bone in Health and Disease). They undergo this process from the beginning called modeling where it allows growth of the new bone at the same spot of the old bone, essentially forming one whole new bone. This process typically happens during the early ages of life, where soon when a human turns about 20, all their bones have reached their peak mass, therefore the process of remodeling starts (The Basics of Bone in Health and Disease). Remodeling is when your bones essentially repair the damage that has been made to them. Remodeling happens every 10 years and is ...

St. Valentine surrounded by the symbolic birds. For as long as I can remember Valentine's Day has been a day for everyone to show their love to one another by exchanging gifts, candies, cards and whatever else people think of. It's a day to have an excuse to be extra sweet to your significant other. Aside from that, it's just another regular day; but what made February 14, so special? Why is romance so heavily attached to this day? There are multiple theories abut the origin of Valentine's Day. Some surprisingly have very little to do with romance, and have more to do with death than anything. Some people believe that Valentine's Day comes from the decapitations of two different men by the name of St. Valentine, both martyrs. The first evidence found was that  Emperor Claudius II executed one of the St. Valentines because he was " secretly officiating weddings for Roman soldiers against the emperor's wishes, making him, in some eyes, a proponen...

Ancient Greek warriors wrestling. As humans it is natural for us to be competitive. Whether it being in physical challenges, or mental challenges, it is instinctual for almost all humans to compete with the people around them. This instinct has been around since the dawn of time, and there is no way of stopping it because it is implemented in all of our modern sports now. Researchers say that wrestling is one of the oldest sports ever recorded, and when it was used back for the Olympics it started to get its recognition and soon enough it spread worldwide  (History of Wrestling). As we know, back before we had a way to record ourselves, people would draw out images to tell stories about all kinds of things. They used writing and drawing as a way to communicate with other cultures. In France, researchers have found a cave covered in ancient drawings depicting men wrestling, and once this cave was found they went on a hunt for more and found in Mongolia, Libya and even Japan th...

Growing up we are taught that Thomas Edison was the inventor of the famous light bulb, but what if someone told you it was actually invented 40 years before Edison got his hands on it? Researchers argue that Edison is only credited for the invention of the light bulb because he was the one to make it a commercial success, but he was not the one who invented it. Edison's charisma and positive attitude toward the patent made it possible for him to receive all the credit. He was the one who really took it and ran with it and made it what it is today, so why shouldn't he get credit? Well I say because he did not invent the legit first light bulb, he should not be credited as the inventor. Humphrey Davy invented the first ever light bulb, and he really was the one with the bright idea.  Although, we can't use Davy's light bulb today, it was Davy who first thought of using chemical bases and other conductive material in order to ignite a light. He created an arc lamp...
