“Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive materials very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.”

Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that had to be conquered or feared, but is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? Let’s explore this concept.

The Facts

Many people believe that radiation illnesses are a major factor for dying of cancers but the facts just don’t back this up.

Illness	Rate
Skin Cancer	60,000-90,000
Smoking	7,000,000(1.5m from secondhand smoke)
Acute Radiation Syndrome	60-100 SINCE WWII

The Truth

Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurements of this risk, but in most cases, radioactive material that most people can gain access too is not very dangerous. We have lived alongside it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting it and storing it very incorrectly, its not dangerous.

The Metric System has been adopted by most of the world, but in The United States of America it never really caught on. There are some major measurements that can be made in metric. The primary sizes are as such:

• Meter-Length
• Gram-Mass
  • Kilogram
• Celsius-Temp
• Candela-Luminosity
• Liter-Volume

A famous quote:

If God wanted us to use the metric system, he would have given us ten fingers and ten toes.

Private Jets are a status symbol of the rich and famous. At the same time, in many cases, they actually make better sense for some business and celebrities.

Normally called business jets, it is often more economical to be able to fly directly to be able to fly directly to your destination instead of taking multiple flights with many staff members. Because of this, and the ability to ship mission critical items in an instant, Business jets have become the back bone of many businesses, including performers shows.
