Title: Fewer toothless people due to better oral care

Excerpt:   Friedlander explains that is no artificial device is better than the real thing. They cannot fit better than real teeth or feel as natural and as comfortable. Dentures cover the taste buds on the roof of the mouth meaning that denture wearers do not have the ability to taste their food as well as non-denture wearers. Denture wearers can also end up with sores from removing their dentures especially when they eat. Some denture wearers are only able to eat softer foods, and biting into an apple can be impossible to do. Wearing dentures can even affect the enjoyment of kissing.

Title:  The Amazing Mummification Process Of Egyptian Mummies

Excerpt:      A corpse of a man nicknamed Ginger given that name due to his hair colour is about the earliest Egyptian mummy found. He was well preserved due to conditions found in the hot desert sands, which had been his burial site since his death estimated to be around 3300 B.C. Ginger was not a mighty Pharaoh so he did not get the notoriety given Ramses and Seti I and the other Pharaoh's discovered to date. Nevertheless he is an example of a natural mummification process, preserved by the desert sands.

Excerpt: These new systems also called automatic vehicle recognition, car plate recognition, license plate recognition and Lecture Automatique de Plaques d'Immatriculation can scan a license plate every second on cars that are whizzing by at up to 100 miles an hour. These new systems use optical character recognition, to translate the characters, and images of the license plates by using a scanner and then recording it onto an editing device to be recognized by the traffic authority. These new surveillance systems can also use pre-existing technology such as hidden cameras or close circuit television or surveillance systems specifically designed for the road traffic. So much for the thrill of the chase that some people seem to get when they can outsmart the traffic police. Their fun days are over.

The trouble is, though he interviewed people in the area at the time, he could not be sure which was historical truth and which was mere legend when it came to recounts of the tales that were often many centuries older than the people themselves. However, bearing in mind the historical inaccuracies, Egyptologists still use the work or Herodotus to continue searching for ancient truths about Egypt and the mighty pyramids.

Excerpt:

The two main characteristics of the modern day vampires as we know from Eastern European folklore is blood sucking and the creatures ability to transcend death. The theme of the "undead" adds to the horror of the vampire nonhuman identity. Depending upon the culture vampires could be dark and hooded, pale, have long talons, or fanged teeth etc. Furthermore how the vampire came into being also varies with cultures, in European history we know to be bitten by a vampire is how to become one (remember the Dracula Hollywood movies). In Chinese folklore, if an animal jumped over a corpse it was feared that it would become the "Undead". Other cultures believed that burying a corpse upside down would create a vampire.

It brought with it Cholera and later Typhus.

The Sisters of Providence forgive a slain nun's murderer

Excerpt from today's story

In August of 2007 Montrealers were in total shock when they heard that a 79-year-old nun was beaten to death by one of the very people she was trying to help. What kind of maniac could do this sort of thing, many Montrealers wondered? Though all vicious murders are horrible, there is just something more shocking and more revolting when the victim is a child or an elderly person. Then to add the fact that it was a woman who dedicated her life to serving God and serving the Montreal community make it even worst. No one could fathom what kind of person could do such a thing.

What is Dream Paralysis

Excerpt from today's story

Have you ever heard of the Hag Syndrome? Well this is what Dream Paralysis was once called. Some people believe that the origins of this syndrome may be rooted in the incubus and succubus legends. Also, from the Scandinavian, and Icelandic legends the origins might also come from the Mara, or Mare, who is responsible for nightmares. Dream Paralysis is associated with terrible nightmares where the devil sits on a person's chest at night

Is a Night Mare and a Night Terror the Same Thing?

Excerpt from today's story

Night Terrors are often misdiagnosed as nightmares but they are very different and do have a genetic component to them. Sometimes Night Terrors have also been ignored and treated simply as a symptom of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

Persistant Genital Disorder in Women

Excerpt from today's story

Priapism was named after the Greek God Priapus who was punished for attempting to rape a Goddess. He was given an enormous but useless set of wooden genitalia. Like women, men with this condition cannot relieve the erection with either physical or psychological stimulation.

The Cat's Second Scent Organ

Excerpt from today's story

From the moment of birth a tiny kitten will use its nose to find his mother and search for a nipple (teat). From that point forward it will search for food in the same manner. Feral cats will locate food in very strange or hidden places. Sick or elderly cats may have trouble finding food, as they may not be able to smell it. Warming up the food releases the odor so the cat will be able to locate the food easier.
