Hatfield Township resident Sherry Post's Simple Brandz Inc. is a simple way to boost your all-natural lifestyle and satisfy your aspirations at a healthier lifestyle
Whether you prefer it in a ball form, as a powder or as a moist granola bar, Simple Brandz is starting to become the source for all-natural body food and the solution for those seeking a healthier lifestyle.

What is a black hole? If you remember my article a few months back on the red giant star Betelgeuse, I wrote briefly about the topic of black holes. Our sun is a relatively average, main-sequence star. In about five billion years or so, our star will run out of hydrogen fuel and expand to a brief “red giant” phase before shrinking into a small, pale white dwarf. There are much bigger stars out there, however. Stars with a mass greater than 20 times that of our sun will go through a massive explosion before they die called a supernova. For most of a star's life, it is in a constant tug-of-war between gravity pushing down and nuclear energy pushing out. When all of the star's energy is depleted, gravity wins out the war.
