Super Earth, ExoPlanet and The Ocean to Sustain Life

As curious as it is when we were kids, we always tend to look up in the sky then wonder if there’s a life other than us? Aliens as we call them and we’ve only braced our imagination through the movies, still, questions never answered. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA keeps on looking at every angle in the universe in search for life. Then year 2015, came a great discovery… They are calling it The Exoplanets. NASA's Kepler space telescope celebrated its 1,000th exoplanet discovery earlier this month, an impressive milestone in the search for life on other worlds. Just for a quick glance on what Exoplanet is, according to Wiki, an exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet that orbits a star other than the Sun, a stellar remnant, or a brown dwarf. Nearly 2000 exoplanets have been discovered (1931 planets in 1221 planetary systems including 484 multiple planetary systems as of 6 July 2015). There are also rogue planets, which do not orbit any

Food Manufactured in China: All Fake

The first impressions I had when I heard something made in China, it’s all fake… Quality is very poor… A waste of money… Well, I’m talking anything about electronics… What if one day, it came to your doorstep a fake food? Would you consider eating them? Can your curiosity take you the courage to taste it? How in the world China come up with something like this? It is so alarming, not to mention this is way too dangerous… The lack of effective food safety laws in China has created a monster of terrible proportions. It is one thing to replicate designer merchandise and rip off manufacturers, and quite another to dare to imitate Mother Nature and mess with the nutritious ingredients that comprise the staples of human diets. China’s population of 1.3 billion is hungry for both food and wealth, and this combination often nurses corruption, especially when there’s no government watchdog preventing the commission of such crimes. Where can you find the obvious culprits

Sex Addict: What Its Like And How To Cope With It

Please take time to reassess our topic here as it is much serious than I thought… I’m browsing the net to look something to read about, then came across one subject that more often than not, we tend to take this for granted… We might engage ourselves with sex probably more than we should or simply it is just the thing nowadays… I have read an article claiming that sex is indeed the greatest form of exercise. Well, needless to say, I’ve been there and I can say that it might be true, but not for everyone… Have you asked yourself how little is little, and how much is too much? If you’re trying to have it as much as you do and as much as you can, you might be suffering from an addiction. The “psychiatrist’s bible” may not be officially recognize that there is a sex addiction but people with the condition say it’s all too real. It seems like sex addiction makes headlines every time a public figure is caught in a cheating scandal. Tiger Woods: sex addict. Anthony Weiner:

The Origin of Rainbow Flag

Each representation wears one unique piece of cloth, a flag. They differ in shapes sometimes, they differ in symbols and what’s pretty obvious, they differ in colors… “A true flag cannot be designed — it has to be torn from the soul of the people.” — Unknown Gilbert Baker, a self-described “geeky kid from Kansas” came to San Francisco as an Army draftee In 1970. San Francisco has often been compared to Oz, but Baker didn’t want to click his heels and go back to Kansas. After an honorable discharge he stayed in San Francisco, free to pursue his dreams of being an artist. He learned to sew, because he couldn’t buy, he makes all the fabulous 70s clothes that he wanted. Baker’s life changed forever when he met Harvey Milk In 1974, who showed him “how action could create change.” Three years after they met, Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors – making him the first openly gay person to hold a high public office in a major American city. Milk, once know

Types of Alternative Money Our Elders Used

Peso, Rupee, The Famous Dollar, Dinar, Yen, whatever you call your money it’s only purpose is to purchase, a mean of exchanging anything of value… You can purchase anything nowadays, even in the internet, though what you'll always need is money. Throughout history, money has always existed in various forms. We are not suggesting that your country should revert to these methods, but here are some interesting commodity monies that have been used in the past. Gold Gold is the most common type of commodity money and the most easily understood as well, even by people who have no understanding of economics. Throughout history, gold has always held value. Interestingly, the US dollar was held against “The Gold Standard” in the past where its value was literally measured against the gold reserves USA had. There are some properties of gold that make it suitable as commodity money. Firstly, you are able to store it for a really long time without worrying if it will r

Aliens Are Living With Us, They are Resembling Humans

Since the time I discovered that I can already think on my own, yes it is not just recently ;-), there is a lot of curiosity about ourselves as human living alone in the universe… We called the other species not from our planet as “Aliens”, well, there were documented events proving that indeed there were other lifeforms besides us!!! According to Wiki, by definition, Alien or Extraterrestrial life is life that does not originate from Earth. It is also called alien life, or, if it is a sentient and/or relatively complex individual, an "extraterrestrial" or "alien" (or, to avoid confusion with the legal sense of "alien", a "space alien"). These as yet hypothetical forms of life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to beings far more complex than humans. The possibility that viruses might exist extraterrestrially has also been proposed. "Exobiology" or "astrobiology" is the development and testing of hypotheses

Jessica Cox: Pilot, Believer, Motivator and Speaker

When I was younger, well, so much younger than today, say 30 years younger ;-) I do have an ambition to one day fly a plane on my own ;-) With all the other factors that took effect on my life, let’s just say sh*t happens to people! Needless to say, that ambition to fly didn’t happen… Let’s move on!!! I would like you to meet Jessica Cox, she’s not just one hell of a pilot, yes folks, she is a licensed pilot and her story is just amazing… Her story is really worth to tell… At a hospital in Sierra Vista, Arizona on February 2, 1983, a baby came into this world without arms as a result of a rare birth defect. Everyone who was there that day recalls their emotions of helplessness when they first saw little Jessica. Her mother Inez was especially devastated, who was overwrought. Who would take care of this child as she grew to become an adult, and who would love her? What kind of life could she have without the ability to do even the most basic things like eat or hold a phone

24 hours and a Second Longer for June 30th, 2015

Have you ever wondered how accurate our time monitoring is? It has been a millennia since the invention of clocks. According to Wiki, the clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used thousands of years ago. A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a flat surface. There are a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. Water clocks, along with the sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. A major advance occurred in Europe around 1300 with the invention of the escapement, which allowed construction of the first mechanical clocks, which used oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels. During the 15th century, Spring-driven clocks appeared. Then clockmaking flourished during the 15th and 16th centuries. The next development in
