Area 51


Area 51 is a military base, and a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base. It is located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (133 km) north-northwest of Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, is a large military airfield. The base's primary purpose is undetermined, however, based on historical evidence, it appears to support development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. 


The base lies within the United States Air Force's vast Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), formerly called the Nellis Air Force Range (NAFR). Although the facilities at the range are managed by the 99th Air Base Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, the Groom facility appears to be run as an adjunct of the Air Materiel Command Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert, around 186 miles (300 km) southwest of Groom, and as such the base is known as Air Force Flight Test Center (Detachment 3).


Though the name Area 51 is used in official Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) documentation, other names used for the facility includeDreamlandParadise RanchHome BaseWatertown StripGroom Lake, and most recently Homey Airport. The area is part of the NellisMilitary Operations Area, and the restricted airspace around the field is referred to as (R-4808N), known by the military pilots in the area as "The Box" or "the Container".


The facility is not a conventional airbase, as frontline operational units are not normally deployed there. It instead appears to be used for highly classified military/defense Special Access Programs (SAP), which are unacknowledged publicly by the government, military personnel, and defense contractors. Its mission may be to support the development, testing, and training phases for new aircraft weapons systems or research projects. Once these projects have been approved by the United States Air Force or other agencies such as the CIA, and are ready to be announced to the public, operations of the aircraft are then moved to a normal air force base.


The intense secrecy surrounding the base, whose very existence the U.S. government did not even acknowledge until 29 September 1995, has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore.

Area 51, located on Groom Lake in southern Nevada (c.), was founded in 1955 by the U.S. Air Force to develop and test new aircrafts – such as the U-2 Spy Plane, A-12 Blackbird and F-117 Stealth Fighter. The secretive nature of the military base, combined with its classified aircraft research, helped conspiracy theorists imagine an installation filled with time-travel experimentation, UFO coverups and alien autopsies.

Just Finish making our Chapter I thesis proposal..


Egg Benefits You probably Don’t Know

 I like eating eggs at whatever time of the day. I would eat it fried (scrambled, but my own version) with a sausage or two or  I would simply drop a fresh one in my soup or my porridge. Most of the time, I’d eat it as hard – boiled, seasoned with pepper and salt, not just once, but sometimes twice or thrice a day. And that’s when a lot of people (specially the older ones) cringe.  They’d say “cholesterol!” and shake their heads in disapproval.

Contrary to previous beliefs and as proven by recent researches, moderate consumption of eggs does not significantly raise the bad cholesterol (LDL) level of a person and it cannot be considered as a major contributor for heart diseases. Saturated and trans fat found in food, not dietary cholesterol, increase blood cholesterol and the risk of heart diseases. Consumption of eggs, may, in fact, improve a person’s lipid profile. That, and other things.


What’s in an egg?

A medium size egg has about 70 calories and other essential nutrients our body needs, so eating an egg is like taking a multivitamin pill. It has:
Protein – the most filling of all nutrients, protein supplies energy to the body and is essential  for building, maintaining and and repairing body tissues.  Eggs are one of the few foods considered to be a complete protein, which contains the nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce naturally. Including eggs in your diet specially in between meals can help sustain your energy and can curb pangs of cravings  and unhealthy snacking as protein helps control the rate at which food energy is absorbed by your body. It can also help in fighting infections, keeps body fluids in balance and helps the body maintan a healthy metabolism.


Choline - an egg yolk has about 300 micrograms of choline which is essential to brainpower, as it helps in the development of the brain and can improve the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Our bodies cannot produce this nutrient in adequate amounts, so a continuous supply must be obtained from our diet. Two large eggs can provide an adult with the recommended daily intake of choline.


Folate – helps produce and maintain new cells, especially the red blood cells. A hard-boiled egg contains about 22 mcg of folate.


Iron – carries oxygen to the cells and helps maintain a healthy blood.


Lutein and Zeaxanthin – helps maintain good vision and reduce the risk of developing cataracts.  

According to one study, eating an egg a day may prevent macular degeneration because of these two nutrients.


Niacin - it helps promote nerve functions and helps with the bodies’ release of energy.


Omega 3 fats – helps in reducing Alzheimer’s disease and improves blood cholesterol.


Riboflavin – helps keep body tissues healthy.


Vitamin A - protects against some type of cancers and also slows down the aging process.


Vitamin B12 – helps protect us against heart diseases.


Vitamin D – helps strengthen our teeth and bones.


Vitamin E – acts as antioxidant and protects cells against some cancers. In one study, women who consumed at least 6 eggs per week lowered their risk of  breast cancer by 44%.


Zinc – strengthens the immune system.


Another controversy that’s been hounding the egg phenomenon is about salmonella, a bacteria that can cause extreme intestinal distress. The main key in avoiding this is to cook eggs thoroughly, specially its yolk. Avoid eating a runny yolk. Just make sure that eggs should be refriegerated and should be promptly eaten after being cooked.


Eggs are so cheap and they are easily available. They’re also so versatile –  you can make desserts, entrees, healthy cocktails and eggs make the perfect base for healthy meals and snacks. So what are you waiting for? Go and enjoy eggs and its different type of servings.
