At the age of 25, I discovered my love of research and the divinity within us. If knowledge precedes empowerment, knowing thyself should be everyone's first priority. Understanding the nature man, woman & their dynamic is gratifying.

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” – Joseph Campbell The Denmark Strait Cataract The Denmark Strait cataract is an undersea waterfall found on the western side of the Denmark Strait. It resides on the Atlantic Ocean (on the Arctic Circle) between Iceland and Greenland. It is the world's highest underwater waterfall that hosts water cascading 3,505 meters (11,500 feet) downwards. This is possible by the density difference of the water masses on either side of the Denmark Strait. The eastern side is colder than the western side. Due to this difference, when the two masses meet along the top ridge of the strait, the colder, denser water flows downwards and underneath the warmer, less dense water. For reference of how massive this underwater waterfall is, here’s some comparison. It is thought that the Denmark Strait cataract has a flow rate exceeding 175 million cubic feet (5.0 million cubic meters) per second which would make it 350 times as voluminous as the extinct Guairá Falls on the border of Brazil and Paraguay (which ‘itself’ was once thought to be the most voluminous waterfall on Earth—being 12 times more voluminous than Victoria Falls). So we see that the Denmark Strait is unimaginably enormous. Due to the underwater proximity and size of this waterfall, explores have only begun to record the multitude of caves and cavernous regions of this magical place. In 2019, several deep-divers made entrance into a previously unexplored dry bed behind the falls. This is the story of what they found inside.

War No More

Although he has already met a couple new friends in class, he and his family are new to the neighborhood. He arrives home—just in time to witness a clock on the wall tick ‘five-eighteen’. Though the home is only semi-furnished, everything is in order. This allows a hand-written note on the counter to be noticeable as it seems to be begging for investigation. Michael begins reading.

Preserve the Bananaslingese
The Bananaslingese are the most isolated tribe in the world, and have captured the imagination of millions. This group of indigenous tribes has lived on their island for up to 55,000 years—and without outside influence. That’s right! They’ve had no contact with the outside world. The Bananaslingese inhabit a small forested island called North Bananasling, which is approximately the size of Manhattan. They resist all contact with outsiders by attacking any boat that approaches to close.

Book of Future
July 16, 1969. The United States had been battling the USSR (now known collectively as Russia, Poland, Finland, etc.) in the Cold War. A competition between them ensued to showcase whose technology was superior. The USSR was successful in sending a man into space, and traveling around the entire earth first. As impressive as this was, the United States shifted into high gear. Advances in innovativeness propelled the U.S. to rocket (pun intended) past competing space programs and landed a craft on the moon.

THE DARK CRYSTAL, Age of Resistance
THE DARK CRYSTAL, Age of Resistance If you enjoyed TV shows such as The Muppet Babies, movies such as The Labyrinth and The Never-Ending Story, you’ll love the 2019 Netflix series THE DARK CRYSTAL – age of resistance. What do these titles have in common? They all used some sort of animatronic in their casting. Animatronics refers to mechatronic puppets. They are a modern variant of the automaton and are often used for the portrayal of characters in films and in theme park attractions.

Book 1 - Chapter 1
MEET ANUHEA’ [pronounced: ah-nu-way-uh'] 1997 is a great year to vast in the ALOHA city of Honolulu. Hawaiian culture is at its peak of intermingling ripeness. The scene is saturated with a wide variety of fast-food chains where celebrity concerts are periodically held at the nationally recognized American football stadium. Although there`s a mixture of mingling cultures cohabitating here, the sound of ukulele struts sound across beach sands louder than any portable radio. The air is crisp and gives host to constant traffic of passenger planes. The tourist-filled behemoths seem to fly unreasonably low and oddly close enough for the logos on their tails to be easily identified. Small and big motor vehicle types frequent [both] the newly paved streets and daintily paved pathways. Most of the vehicles in this area host engines that putt-putt along slightly louder than when they rolled off their mainland assembly lines. KALUA PORK is the process of pork that has been slow roasted under by banana leaves and underground. Although it contends with CHICKEN KATSU to be paired with sticky rice, both are among the most desired entrée’s on most dining tables here. We begin amidst a utopia of aloha sea breezes, plush vegetation and tall coconut trees that sway at free will. Geckos are everywhere and have long proven to be a welcomed nuisance. The local residents seem to invite them onto any indoor/outdoor surface they could cling to. Young children enjoy the harmless little lizards because they'd figured out a way to anger them just enough to cause them to bite and clamp down on their earlobes. They’ve found that this causes the geckos to dangle –heroically-- from pinched earlobes as green jewelry.
