The" Banks of the Nile" (B. N.) is heading into a new era; it is still going in the same direction, nothing has changed, but now it has taken on a new meaning. When you start something and you have a goal, whether short term or long term, once you start accomplishing those goals, you have to start new ones.

I am not being paid by Nightingale, nor did they send me free stuff. This is my honest opinion and a genuine review of how it has helped me get better sleep.

Dark colors, leather, and combat boots do battle against bright colors, smooth metal, and reflective surfaces. That's because the future is the tension between climate change disaster, income inequality, and refugees; and young people who just want to be free, get loaded, and have a good time. So, check out the best futuristic sunglasses if you're planning to go out before it all comes crashing down. Oh, who are we kidding; America will be in a never ending free-fall the whole time.

Many people who are into science fiction are into a lot of television shows and films. They are also really interested in outer space, aliens, and robots. These people have a broad liking in the world of science fiction, not just a small section of the genre. So, gifting them doesn't have to be a struggle, since there's so many options out there. From Star Wars to Guardians of the Galaxy, science fiction lovers are rarely picky.

Though it used to be the mark of a nerd in school, being a fan of science is now cooler than ever before. With all the amazing discoveries today's leading minds are bringing forward, it's only natural to want to learn more about the universe around us — and the inner workings, too.

Fantasy readers are known for one thing, and one thing only: their love of books. If given the option, they'll often want to read all day. Fantasy's one of those genres that draws you in and keeps you there, so it totally makes sense why they love reading so much.

Growing up, most of us have had a major love for science fiction. There's something always so cool about the idea of checking out what the future will be like. We love the idea of being real-life heroes or villains in the sci-fi world, right?

At one point or another, everyone has wanted to be an astronaut. It's basically a rite of passage. Some of us even went to space camp! With some of us, though, that dream to see the stars and explore the universe never really died out.

The Future and You audio podcast was started by the host Stephen E. Cobb back in 2005. The show is a weekly podcast exploring how the future will be different than it is today. The host uses interviews, panel discussions, and commentary to accomplish his goals. The topics on the show are very wide ranging and on the cutting edge of technology. Topics include AI, nanotech, genetic engineering, exoplanets, cryonics, futurism, and transhumanism. Mr. Cobb has produced some 400 shows, interviewed 350 people, and moderated panel discussions at 30 or more conventions. In 2006 Mr. Cobb won the newly created Parsec Award for podcasters for the category of Best News Podcast. The Parsecs are awarded annually for Speculative Fiction Podcasting by Farpoint Media. Mr. Cob is also an editor to Jim Bean's Universe Magazine, Space and Time Magazine, and to Robot Magazine. Finally, he is also on the advisory board of The Lifeboat Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging scientific advancements while helping humanity survive various problems and guarding against the misuse of technology.

It's time for me to get something off my chest, even if it means stigma and ridicule from many people. I have always tried to be as skeptical as possible and endeavor to research everything thoroughly if I don't have first-hand experience with a certain topic. There are certain things in our society that have been consistently viewed as laughable or the stuff of fiction, and what I want to talk about is thankfully starting to shed some of these judgments.

Right, it's not one of my mine. And I do this every few years — blog about a novel that's not only one of the best you likely never heard of, but, for what it's worth, is one of the best I've ever read. I guess I should also mention that the novel is science fiction — which means, it's not competing with Austen or Dickens or Tolstoy or Hemingway.
