True Facts About teen girls

The average height of a woman in the U.S. is approximately 5 feet 4 inches, and the average weight is about 163 pounds.

 In almost every country worldwide, the life expectancy for women is higher than for men.

 There are roughly four million more women than men in the U.S. In the age 85-and-older category, there are more than twice as many women as men currently living in the U.S.

Approximately 95% of all women in the U.S. have been married at least once by the age of 55.

The most common cause of death for American women is heart disease, which causes just over 27% of all deaths in females. Cancer ranks just below, causing 22% of female deaths

Depression is the most common cause of disability in women, and approximately 25% of all women will experience severe depression at some point in their lives.

 Approximately one in five women worldwide reports being sexually abused before the age of 15.

 Over 90% of all cases of eating disorders occur in women, and nearly seven million women in the U.S. currently suffer from anorexia nervosa or bulimia.

14 Unbelievable Facts About The Human Eye

1. Your retinas actually perceive the outside world as upside-down – your brain flips the image for you.

If you want to see the world as your retinas do, try a pair of prism glasses. Just don't, you know, walk near sheer drops or operate heavy machinery while wearing them.

2. In addition to being upside-down, images arrive at your retina split in half and distorted.

Each half of your brain receives one half of the image, and then they scramble the images together to compose the whole picture you're used to seeing.

3. Your retinas cannot detect the colour red.

Although your retinas have red, green and blue colour receptors, the "red" receptor only detects yellow-green, and the "green" receptor detects blue-green. Your brain combines these signals and turns them into red.

4. Your peripheral vision is very low-resolution and is almost in black-and-white.

You don't realise it because your eyes move to "fill in" the peripheral detail before you notice the difference.

5. Got blue eyes? You share an ancestor with all other blue-eyed people across the world.

6. And if you have brown eyes, you’re old school.

All humans originally had brown eyes. Blue eyes appeared as a mutation about 6,000 years ago.

7. If you’re blind, but were born with sight, you probably still see images in your dreams.

8. On average, you blink 17 times a minute.

That's 14,280 times in a 14-hour day, and 5.2 million times a year.

9. “20/20 vision” doesn’t equal perfect vision. It just means you can see 20 feet in front of you as well as the average person can.

10. If you’re shortsighted, your eyeball is longer than normal. If you’re farsighted, it’s shorter than average.

11. Your eyes are almost the same size as they were when you were born. And newborn babies can see clearly up to 15 inches away.

Which is, handily, generally where their mothers' faces are when they're breastfeeding.

12. Your tears have different compositions based on whether something’s irritating your eye, or you’re crying, or yawning.

13. Your eye is constantly making tiny jerking movements called “microsaccades” to stop objects from fading from your vision.

A process called Troxler's phenomenon causes static objects in your gaze to disappear if you stare at them for too long (see image below). Microsaccades stop this from happening.

14. And finally, your eye can distinguish between 50,000 shades of grey.

Which makes Christian Grey seem kinda... tame........

It is a half-length portrait of a woman who, along with the composition, background and other details, has been the subject of much speculation and discussion. It is believed that Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa around 1503. It has been on permanent display at the Louvre Museum in Paris for over 200 years.

TEN FACTS ABOUT EARTH

FACT ONE~
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System to
have water in its three states of matter: as a
solid (ice), a liquid (sea, rain, etc.) and as a gas
(clouds). These are all shown below. Water is, of
course, the most important liquid for life.

FACT TWO~
Earth is almost five billion years old, although life
(resembling life as we know it) has only existed
on the planet for the last 150 million to 200
million years. This means that life has only been
present on Earth for only 5%-10% of its lifetime.

FACT THREE~
Earth and Mercury are the two most dense
planets in the Solar System. This means that
particles inside the planet are most closely
packed together.

FACT FOUR~
The length of time it takes for Earth to orbit the
Sun is 365 and a quarter days. To make up this
extra quarter which isn't counted at the end of a
year, we have an extra day every four years on
29th February. The next Leap Year will be in
2012.

FACT FIVE~
Earth is gradually slowing down. Every few years,
an extra second is added to make up for lost
time. Millions of years ago, a day on Earth will
have been 20 hours long. It is believed that, in
millions of years time, a day on Earth will be 27
hours long.

FACT SIX~
The centre of the Earth, its core, is molten. This
means that it is liquid rock which sometimes
erupts onto the surface through volcanic
eruptions. This core is 7,500°c, hotter than the
surface of the Sun !

FACT SEVEN~
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System not
to be named after a mythical God.

FACT EIGHT~
Despite being called Earth, only 29% of the
surface is actually 'earth.' The rest of the
planet's surface (71%) is made up of water.

FACT NINE~
From a distance, Earth would be the brightest of
the planets. This is because sunlight is reflected
off the planet's water.

FACT TEN~
Earth is the only planet in the Solar System
known to be geologically active, with Earthquakes
and volcanoes forming the landscape, replenishing
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and erasing
impact craters from meteors.

Thank you.

25 Amazing facts you didn't know about Animals and insects

25

House fly

House flies don’t allow their short lifespans (14 days) to hinder their musical abilities. They always hum in the key of F.

24

Ostrich

Ostriches can run faster than horses, and the male ostriches can roar like lions.

23

Bat

Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but wouldn’t it be awesome if humans could fly too?

22

Kangaroo

Kangaroos use their tails for balance, so if you lift a kangaroo’s tail off the ground, it can’t hop.

21

Spider

On average, there are 50,000 spiders per acre in green areas. Bet you’ll think twice before going outside now – unless you’re this guy.

20

Tiger

Tigers not only have stripes on their fur, they also have them on their skin. No two tigers ever have the same stripes.

19

Crocodile

Here’s a tidbit that might be useful if you plan on becoming the next Steve Irwin: To escape the grip of a crocodile’s jaw, push your thumb into its eyeball – It will let you go instantly.

18

Flea

Fleas can jump up to 200 times their height. This is equivalent to a man jumping the Empire State Building in New York.

17

Cat

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. All the better for them to eavesdrop on your conversations and plot your demise.

16

Elephant

Elephants can smell water up to 3 miles away. They are also one of the three mammals that undergo menopause – the other two being humpback whales and human females.

15

Koala

Koala bears almost exclusively eat only eucalyptus leaves and nothing else.

14

Beaver

Because beavers’ teeth never stop growing, they must constantly gnaw on objects to keep them at a manageable length. Their teeth would eventually grow into their brain if they didn’t maintain them.

13

Ant

Beware an ant uprising! There are one million ants for every human in the world. These resilient creatures also never sleep and do not have lungs.

12

Oyster

Oysters can change gender depending on which is best for mating. Talk about successful adaptation.

11

Butterfly

Butterflies have two compound eyes consisting of thousands of lenses, yet they can only see the colors red, green and yellow.

10

Snail

Don’t try this at home, but a snail can grow back a new eye if it loses one.

9

Turtle

You can tell a turtle’s gender by the noise it makes. Males grunt and females hiss.

8

Giraffe

Giraffes have no vocal cords and their tongues are blue-black in color.

7

Squirrel

You might want to thank a squirrel the next time you enjoy the shade of a tree. Millions of trees are accidentally planted by squirrels that bury nuts and then forget where they hid them.

6

Humpback Whale

Humpback whales create the loudest sound of any living creature. And you thought the loudest sound came from that two-year-old you sat next to on your trans-continental flight, didn’t you?

5

Dog

Dogs’ nose prints are as unique as human fingerprints and can be used to identify them.

4

Seahorse

The slowest fish is the seahorse, which moves along at about 0.01 mph.

3

Pig

Pigs communicate constantly with one another; more than 20 vocalizations have been identified that pigs use in different situations, from wooing mates to saying, “I’m hungry!”

2

Poodle

Contrary to popular belief, French poodles actually originated in Germany. Maybe you should’ve named her Gretl instead of Fifi.

1

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards and their wings can beat at up to 80 times per second.
