Global Warming and Biofuels- Responsible for the World’s Demise

Posted by Calister F. Wells  Published in Environment

If you don’t know what global warming is, then you have either been living under a rock or cannot read. Global. Warming. Our Earth getting hotter. Ice melting. Lots of ice. The world floods, or dries up because of lack of rain, and then we can say good-bye to many farms and food supplies out there.

Stress: Side Effects Include…

Posted by Rika  Published in Health

Being stressed out is not good for several reasons. One, being how it effects everyone around you. Did you know that studies have show that your kids are more likely to become ill if they are in a household with a lot of stress from surrounding family members? That should motivate all of the parents to relax and to stop constantly worrying.

Aside from creating household problems, stress also creates health problems. It is known that people who are stressed out often over eat and are less likely to exercise. They more likely to smoke and drink more, and stress might raise the risk of heart attacks.

A Self Sustaining, Self Repairing Future!

Posted by Rika  Published in Technology

One thing that we can look forward to is a very self-sustainable future. One product is paving the way towards a future which products repair themselves! French scientists have created rubber that, when pinched together after being sliced, can mend and be as good as new! The process takes an hour, but this is definitely [...]

Laughing at the Future and Contemplating Black and White Photos

Posted by Rika  Published in Technology, Videography

The future is such that us mere mortals cannot possibly contemplate without humor. I wonder what cavemen would do if they saw us playing the Wii…. probably laugh. Heck, even the present day people still laugh when they see someone swinging that white remote and looking like an idiot.

Celebrities: What Good Do they Do?

Posted by Rika  Published in Other Articles

News people like celebrities. They like to write about them. They like to buy photos of them. They like to stalk celebrities to get photos to sell. Like the war on Iraq and crime in general, the news is in love with celebrities, too.

What good do celebrities do? Not very much. They smoke, drink, get arrested for a few days, (“What did you do THIS time Paris Hilton?” “I murdered someone, officer” “We’ll put you in for 24 hours this time.”) and then get released and plan their next arrest. Besides bad influences for our kids, they serve as a distraction to daily life.

Philosophy lV

Posted by Socrates  Published in Uncategorized

You cannot wish for something you never wanted. Rika’s Thoughts: Wishes are born out of goals; often times goals that are difficult or impossible. You can’t wish for something you don’t want, but you can’t wish for something so easily acquired: then the wish is just a mere thought and nothing more. The goal must [...]

Psychology, Mind Reading Video Games, and Kendra

Posted by Rika  Published in Nearby Updates and Info, Other Articles, Technology

…An example of this is the latest in video games, slated to come out this winter: the Epoc. A game that uses the EEG brain signals to control a video game, this shows what we can do with technology and knowledge of the brain. The technology, as it turns out, is older and until now hasn’t been thought to be able to be so flexible. This is a perfect example of how new knowledge of the brain can turn old technology towards new uses!…

Consumer Guide: The Truth About Yogurt

Posted by Rika  Published in Health

More dangerous than we’d like to think… We are in the age where consumer smarts is important; with all the food and pharmaceuticals out there claiming to be the best (and some of those actually being detrimental to your health!), consumers need to stay in the know. One of the most well-known and largely publicized [...]

Philosophy of the Week III

Posted by Socrates  Published in Uncategorized

The pen is mightier than the sword, but the mind is sharper than the pen. Calister’s Thoughts: Honestly, Socrates, I’m not into philosophy, but this is my favorite quote of all time. Sure, written words can hurt, but pure mind power beats all. If this was a game of rock-paper-scissors, knowledge could beat all of [...]

Goodbye Paper

Posted by Rika  Published in Other Articles

Paper. We all have it. We all write on it. We all throw it away. We all waste it. And is this all about to change? Reasons Why Paper Should Be Replaced: I’m not exactly a tree hugger, but trees contribute to a healthful world, so I think they should keep them around. So why [...]

When In Rome, Think Like the Greeks

Posted by Calister F. Wells  Published in Other Articles

You may think you know what the most advance societies of all time are. Us Americans are thinking, “Oh! The iphone! Our civilization must be the most advanced,” and as each new invention comes out we think the same thing. But these inventions aren’t something as great as discovering, say, the first democracy. Lets say [...]

Hit’s from the 80′s include Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, I Love Rock N’ Roll, Material Girl, and Jessie’s Girl plus many more.

Philosophy ll

Posted by Socrates  Published in Uncategorized

Turn what you fear into something you can conquer and conquer it, what we conquer is nothing to fear. Rika’s Thoughts: Like Roosevelt’s famous quote “We have nothing to fear except fear itself” this quote is basically on the road to not having anything to fear. By making up our minds to not fear something, [...]
