Although September 22nd marks the fall equinox, many persons, even those who do not have a strong psychic inclination, tend to note a rise in paranormal activity. This is an easily explained natural cycle that occurs with the change of the seasons. The reason behind this is explained by the decrease in the visible light spectrum due to the loss of daylight hours as the earth moves toward winter.

The sun turns 4 days out of the solar year of 365.4 days. Equinox, the only two days of the year when the days and the nights are each 12 hours long, is the day when the sun passes the equator. The equinox day/night is the template for all traditional watches and clocks. Fall Equinox falls around September 21st, and Spring Equinox around March 21st. Then we have the two solstices which is when the days are long and the nights are short, or vice versa if you are "down under". See similar questions...

The antibacterial activity in regular honey is due to four major processes or qualities: the osmotic effect, the acidity of honey, the production of hydrogen peroxide in honey and the phytochemical factor.

A real-time signal is continuously being sent and received, with little or no delay, much like a newscast or program on TV. Near-real-time is delayed slightly because a communication link is established to send the data once an event occurs, much as one makes phone call to someone in order to give them a message.

On the contrary--I do. But only that which can be reasonably proven. I must know the BACKGROUND of what I am shown. As a historian, and a genealogist, I deal in FACTS. I research what I can, and THEN draw conclusions from what I find, and then from what I see. There is ONE simple way to disprove me. RESEARCH my facts. Do NOT just believe me. FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. I did it in Texas--and so can you. To quote my favorite TV show: Lucky you. See similar questions...

As with your electric bill, your gas bill is affected by the same factors (family size, lifestyle, comfort level desired, season of the year, weather), and your fuel choice for various household appliances (e.g., your oven or clothes dryer). Natural gas prices have risen sharply. The higher gas prices are driven by increased demand by customers and declining productivity of existing gas wells. Even with more drilling being done, it is difficult to meet the growing demand for gas. See similar questions...

Be particularly wary of getting any tattoo where the shape is important, such as with symmetrical tribal pieces, or Celtic knots. See similar questions...

I learned and adopted this expression into personal use from a friend and colleague, Katherine Becker. Although it is the accepted term, Katherine correctly pointed out that it was unfair to the folks in the southern hemisphere for one to say, for example, 'Autumnal Equinox' as it would be the opposite season in the southern hemisphere, spring.
