5 Simple Actions You Can Take to Help Save the Oceans
It is now no surprise to anyone that our human waste is piling up. We are finding sea animals beached with stomachs filled with garbage and plastic. We find animals with plastic embedded in their bodies or even stuck around their limbs and neck. We all see the pictures, it devastates us, and then we go about our normal lives rarely making any conscious changes to fix what we as a species are destroying at rates that are absolutely mortifying. So, what can we as individuals really do?

Wildlife Goes Extinct on Our Planet
Earth has had multiple mass extinctions. It will keep happening as a natural evolutionary cycle or perhaps because of the activities of man. The Endangered Species Act was set up in 1973 to save us from ourselves because, since the beginning of the 21st century, we have lost 17 animal species. For example, the Pinta Island Tortoise on June 24, 2012, whose ultimate survivor named Lonesome George, died at over 100-years-old. If we do not curb greenhouse gas emissions, we will cause more extinction.

11 Little Known Facts About Nikola Tesla
1. Tesla Worked for Thomas Edison Tesla focused on engineering AC currents while Edison invested most of his money to the use of DC currents. This would lead to a rivalry between the two. Tesla spent his life working to harness enough electricity from the Earth alone to supply everyone and everything the energy demanded, for free. Edison worked to make a profit from it. He would eventually do everything in his power to discredit Tesla's work to promote his own and he would be relatively successful. Still today Tesla does not receive the credit deserved for his 700-plus patents throughout his lifetime.

Home? (Part 3)
It’s almost midnight. I know because the ship is silent, as if all the life that it exerts during the day, despite its habitants acting like automated beings throughout, has been sapped inside a black hole. I’ve managed to deceive the invigilators into believing that I’m, in fact, asleep, when the reality is that my night tube is slightly open, its glass imperceptibly lifted from the bottom to deter it from closing and release morphine gas that will inevitably sing me to sleep. I hear footsteps approaching my area, their tapping warning me that the last checking round is about to be accomplished, although not before they ensure everyone is in their cabins, resting. Feeling the night guard stop at each cylinder, I make myself stiffer, hoping he will not notice the slight gap of air that impedes my sleep. He does not and I finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

A Tale of Two Hoods
He had grown used to the howling. Adrian pulled the green hood over his blond hair as the wolf howls reached a crescendo. The chorus of shrill voices could be heard every night, even inside the city walls. As a child, he could remember sneaking into his mother’s room, afraid that the wolf pack was just outside the bedroom window. Adrian could hardly remember his mother’s face, but her words from those nights still reverberated in his ears.

Life and Production: S2 E11: Two Bosses
Private Roads Only non coercive monopolies flourished in Delaware. The New Sweden Kids wiped out coercive monopolies where the government interfered with theeconomy. No government sullied the waters of free trade. The main monopoly of this type was Terrace Roads. Headed by entrepreneur Harlan Terrace, it dominated the market in private roads. Sold to Terrace Roads by the US government and the state of Delaware for $2 billion, the streets and roads gleamed with promise. Three revenue streams kept the roadways clean, active and vibrant. They included advertising — large digital displays remained after the Great Transition, and were replaced by liquid-crystal display (LCD) screens that lined streets and highways; donations from those of modest income to the quite wealthy; and last, a satellite service which tracked the mileage of the driverless vehicles as they journeyed throughout the state.

The Invasion (Pt. 3)
“I’m not an alligator wrestler, but damn!” Ralph’s Cheshire grin stayed a while; he was delirious from the late-night dip into both the water and his mind. Reality is a thin skim of ice over a deep lake of dark water, and when he tackled the two men off the dock, he shattered it into oblivion, the waves of feelings and pertinent memories crashing on top of him.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I can tell straight away most of you are shaking your head in disbelief at this opinion. It’s not a popular opinion, I am aware, but I remain firm in my belief that Rian Johnson developed JJ Abrams’ plot perfectly.

Queen Eren
“Kasala, what is she?” I asked with wild eyes. “I don’t know,” Kasala replied. This is not how we imagined this day to go at all. Just hours before we were looking through old boxes in my closet and now a live alien lay before me. Throughout the alien’s speaking, I heard her keep mentioning Erenites. I had no idea what these were, but I had an eerie feeling that it had something to do with me.

The Overpopulation Crisis
The answer to overpopulation is not necessarily to wipe the planet out with a deadly germ of some kind that can whittle us down. It isn’t even to use war as a way to kill people off slowly. By 2028 we could hit eight billion, the thing is we need to curb our need to have babies.
