Please Bid based on 10 Blog Posts ## Deliverables Pasted below? are 3? examples of the type of ideas and writing we are looking for: 1. **Alert: This will blow you away!** Remember seeing television footage of raging hurricane winds that up-root trees, tear-off roof tops and send trailers into flight? For one of mother nature’s storms to be classified as a “hurricane??, wind speeds must reach a minimum of 119km/hr (so, when you tell someone to “go fly a kite??… this is the day you mean) **Here’s the astonishing part** : the human sneeze has the potential of travelling up to around 150km/hr. That’s a license-suspending 50k’s over the highway 401 speed-limit.? ? When you think about the human body producing so much power - it makes ‘politely’ holding in a sneeze seem like sticking your finger in the barrel of a gun. Think twice on both accounts J *Source: MensHealth -----------------------------------------------------------------------------* 1. **What you probably don’t know about your blood vessels** If you took all the blood vessels out of an adult human being and put them in a line, the length of that line would be about 100,000miles.? ? That’s 4 X the circumference of the earth at the equator.? ? ? Pretty hard to believe, isn’t it!? Most of the blood vessels in the human body are very short in length.? They are in fact microscopic capillaries. The reason it gets around the earth 4 X is because there are 40 Billion of them....yep, Billion with? a “B??. (We’re talking the “American billion?? ??" ie. 1,000,000,000 not the “British Billion?? which is considered to be 1,000,000 X 1,000,000.) But even that is hard to fathom.? How much is a “billion?? anyway?? For some perspective: A billion seconds ago would take us back to the 1960s.? A billion minutes ago people like Jesus would have been walking the earth. A billion hours ago our ancestors were rubbing sticks together in the stone-age. Point being, a billion of anything adds up.

Your heart pumps an incredible 2,000 Gallons of blood through your body everyday! So, that’s around 100 bathtubs full.? In my opinion, that isn’t even the most fascinating part... **Stop and consider this for a moment!** Any man-made device you have at home ??" be it a pump, fan or heater, is likely to breakdown if called-on to work non-stop for 10 or 20 years.? The heart on the other hand, pumps constantly from birth until death, as fast or slow as required...when we’re awake or asleep, whether we think about it or not! The real miracle? As crucial as it is to us...it doesn’t need to be plugged-in or filled with gas and it doesn’t run on “Triple A?? batteries.? ? ? ? *Source: University of Maryland Medical Center*
