The Tower of London was founded in 1078, by William the Conqueror.The massive White Tower is a typical example of Norman military architecture, whose influence was felt throughout the kingdom.

As many of you know, gem stones have been used since prehistoric times, not only as body ornamentation but for the powers they were believed to hold. Since gem stones are simply rocks or minerals taken from the earth, they did not have the glitter, shine and sophistication that they've become today.

People believed the more rare the gem stone, the more valued it was to the owner; to find such a rare precious gem stone simply enhanced the power it held. In other words, they were more valuable. This is true in modern times as well. It's surprising that, although the gem stone's beauty plays a...

More healthy foods are appearing on store shelves. When I saw a carton of egg whites at my grocery store I immediately thought of cheese souffle. Cheese souffle is one of my favorite foods, but it's high in fat, and I hadn't made one in years. If I could come up with a healthy recipe I could eat cheese souffle again.I bought two cartons of egg whites, fat-free cheddar cheese, and fat-free milk. "This should do it," I thought to myself. On Monday morning I wrestled the souffle dish from the back of the cupboard, assembled my ingredients, and began what turned out to be "The Great Cheese Souffle Experiment."My first souffle was made with one tablespoon of butter, instead of three, and a teaspoon...

There is a universal language that speaks loud and clear without saying a word. It communicates instead with colors and fabrics. Some have an enormous vocabulary and are constantly recreating their looks, while others are quieter and less obtrusive. It's the nonverbal language of style, and through it we can express ourselves any way we wish. Luckily, we've come a long way in the comfort department when it comes to communicating our sense of style.Imagine waking up every morning and having to throw on a suction-tight iron corset or a big bustle underneath a heavy ornate dress, ouch!

Q: What is an autopsy, and why would it help my case?A: An autopsy is an in-depth examination of a dead person, by a doctor. The doctor who performs the examination is usually a pathologist who looks to find the precise cause of death. They do this by looking at all of the internal organs, including the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen. Each area of the body is examined for evidence that contributed or caused that person's death.In a case involving claims of wrongful death (where a person or family has claimed that their loved one died because of somone else's carelessness) having an autopsy is crucial to proving your case. While an autopsy is vital to support such a case, it can also...

Everyone learns differently, learning about yoga and meditation is no different. Some people try out yoga because their friends are trying it - word-of-mouth is enough to get them started.Others choose to start yoga and meditation driven mainly by a health scare, or a chronic health condition such as back pain, arthritis - even temporary conditions such as weight loss and pregnancy can benefit from yoga and meditation.Then, there are those (and I happen to fall into this camp) who like to understand WHY something works. Not necessarily a scientist, but we would like to know enough about the premise of yoga and meditation to be able to satisfy our own minds and more important, any skeptics...
