Visualizing for Success
Some men seem to attract success, power, wealth, attainment, with very little conscious effort; others conquer with great difficulty; still others fail altogether to reach their ambitions, desires and ideals. Why is this so? Read more
Vitamin and Mineral Spotlight
Phosphorus
Next to calcium, phosphorus is the most abundant mineral in the body. These two important nutrients work closely together to build strong bones and teeth. Approximately 85% of phosphorus in the body can be found in bones and teeth and roughly 10% circulates in the bloodstream. The remaining phosphorous can be found in cells and tissues throughout the body. Phosphorous helps filter out waste in the kidneys and contributes to energy production in the body by participating in the breakdown of carbohydrates, protein, and fats. It also helps reduce muscle pain after a hard workout. Read more
THEMIS' mission is to help improve the understanding of severe space weather effects on Earth. THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) is designed to discover what causes intense displays of the aurora (northern and southern lights), called substorms. Just as severe thunderstorms are accompanied by hail and tornadoes, it is believed that some of the most intense space storms -- the ones producing the most penetrating radiation -- are accompanied by substorms.
This artist's concept of THEMIS' main orbits is represented by red ovals. Blue lines represent the Earth's magnetic field. The white flash represents energy released during substorms. The THEMIS spacecraft will line up at midnight over the United States every four days. The distances range from about half the distance to the moon to about a sixth of the distance to the moon. This position will help scientists pinpoint exactly when and where substorms occur.
