Recently, I read a book called “Profession” by Isaac Asimov. In it, he talks about a fictional land where everyone is appointed a certain profession.  People do not have a choice of what they do, their brain patterns do. If the “physical make-up of your brain makes it more efficient for you to be something […]

At the end, it went pretty well. Giving up going to sleep so late did help. I was encouraged to work out in the mornings as I was not so tired. I had time to get ready, therefore, I did not miss my bus. Also, I was not tired during school so I payed more […]

Recently, I read an article on the Huffington Post that spoke about this terrible tragedy and what is being done about it. President Barack Obama did not necessarily speak about gun control but he did say, “In the coming weeks I’ll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens, from law enforcement […]

For my plan of going to sleep earlier, it has actually been going better than expected. At first it was really hard, and even though I closed my eyes and turned off all distractions at night, I still was unable to fall asleep right away. However, going to sleep earlier these past 2 days has […]

My rut is that I am unable not to go to sleep at a healthy time. Not only do I need sleep as I am growing, but being well-rested will help me in many other aspects of my life. This way I will accomplish things and “live life deliberately” as Thoreau once wrote. If I […]

This week I read an article on the amazing possibility of a jelly fish holding the key to immortality. To get to the point, the process this creature uses “According to a study published in “Nature and Science,”the jellyfish accomplishes this unique feat via “transdifferentiation.” Essentially, the creature absorbs its cells, then transforms them into […]

I recently read an article on a debate of the tech world. Is Google evil or not? More specifically is it being bias with the search results it shows? The article says that many are accusing google of putting a priority on showing results that benefit them. For example, they show say that when “consumers […]

I recently read an article on the fact that ice water was found on mercury. The explanation is quite simple. It is that “the tilt of Mercury’s rotational axis is almost zero — less than one degree — so there are pockets at the planet’s poles that never see sunlight.” Thus, giving it more possibility […]

I recently read a very interesting article on Neutrinos and the possibility of time travel. A scientific group in Italy organized a project to send a neutrino to a cave in Spain and measure its speed getting there. They hypothesized that the neutrino traveled faster than the speed of light so therefore it would arrive […]

This week, I finished “The Oxford Murders”. Although interesting, it was not a classical murder mystery novel as I thought. It had a rare way of telling the story, without really implementing the reader. Also, it had too many mathematical concepts that were foreign to me, that  in my opinion took away from the story. […]
