Robert Perry and the North Pole
One man's journey to the far north
On April 6, 1909, six tired men finally reached the North Pole, having crossed over 700 km of cracking, shifting sea ice. Robert Peary, Matthew Henson and thier guides stood on one of the last adventure destinations of the early 1900s. The race to reach that spot had already killed hundreds of other adventurers. But this was not the first time Peary had tried to reach the pole. Before 1909, Peary had made six other attempts to travel to the North Pole. However, he had failed every time. Once, he nearly died when the ice below him began to melt. On another journey, Peary lost eight toes to frostbite. This time, Peary planned more carefully, sending teams ahead of him to make camps. In this way, he was able to save energy and travel quickly. When Peary finally arrived at the pole, he spent just 30 hours there, making scientific observations.
The journey to the North Pole was both difficult and dangerous. But with great courage and careful planning. Peary was finally able to succeed.

Change the filter on your air conditioner every 90 days to reduce the spread of allergens around your house.
Out and about
Do your best to drive when traffic less congested. Keep windows clothes at all times.
If you ride a scooter, wear a mask. Also, avoiding being outside in the morning.

When Allergies Attack
Springtime means green tree, beautiful flowers - and sneezing.
On a lovely spring day, you're eager to get outside and enjoy a nice bike ride or a walk in the park. Unfortunately, as soon as you step outside, tiny invaders begin their plot to spoil your day. First, they make you sneeze. Then they give you an itchy throat and watery eyes. After a while, they force you back inside - close to the tissue box and far away from nature's beauty.
Millions of people experience these miserable effects of allergies. The "invaders" that cause allergy attack - known as allergens - are actually everyday materials such as pollen, dust and animal dander. Seasonal allergies, which strike during spring and fall, are mainly caused by pollen released from trees, flowers and grass.
Allergies explained
When people with allergies breathe in allergens, their immune system recognize them as harmful foreign substances. To defend the body, the immunesystem reacts, often by creating antibodyies, which release chemicals called histamines. These chemicals, unfortunately, can cause symptoms like sneezing, coughing, an itchy throat, and a runny(or stuffy) nose.
