I’m known for medical myth busting that cold weather makes you more likely to catch a cold‚ I ‘m sorry to say that this continues to be a myth; research doe not support this.

If the infected cells

My idol would be Beck Weathers. He was the incredible person that managed to survive the 1996 Everest disaster. Beck went snow-blind in the Death-Zone of Everest and spent a night there out in the open during a blizzard that took away the lives of his nine colleagues.

I belief Beck Weathers courage and tenacity deserves to be applaud. Under those

the ways in which soldiers fill their time when they are not fighting. Yet Hemingway’s realistic approach to his subject does not rule out the use of many time-honored literary devices.
