Electromagnetism, the Universe, and You Author : Marie DePierre
An electric current produces a magnetic field. This is the principle of the electric motor - varying electric currents moving along wires make magnets with drive shafts spin around in circles. A moving magnet makes an electric current flow in a nearby conductor. This is the principle behind the dynamo - magnets being whirled around mechanically on one end of a drive shaft make electric currents flow along wires. Michael Faraday discovered the l...

Man: The Hyper-Inquisitve Animal Author : Marie DePierre
Everyone at one point ponders "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" I took a course on the paranormal at UNLV under Dr. Raymond Moody who struck a good point with me, as a magician. He stated that the paranormal, and magic, are pastimes. Very few magical moments or wondrous paranormal experiences happen to you while you're, say, rushing to work late, or enjoying a good game of Pictionary. These eternal questions about the nature of man and the univer...

Making Changes in Your Personal Life Author : Kate Hufstetler
Making changes in your personal life can be a tough process. Change starts with a thought. It cannot begin without one. However, what we think and dream is not always what those around us choose to envision for us. Why do I bring this up? Because I know first hand that when people try to make changes there are often nay-sayers hanging around. There will always be people expressing their negative responses as reasons why you can’t do somethi...

If Only Your Brain was the Size Of That of an Ant You Could Easily Implement Habits Author : Henrik Flensborg
A year and a half ago I was introduced to something called Swarming or Swarm intelligence. A big telecommunication company was actually mimicking ants to improve the performance of some of their products. Now if a big telecommunication company is modeling behavior of ants and produce better products that way, there must be something worth looking at inside the head of ants. Imagine for a moment that you are an ant. A worker ant - one of those ...

Frustration, Isolation, Overwhelm Author : Maria E. Andreu
Whether you’ve been in business for yourself for a day or a decade, you remember that sweet feeling of freedom when you first thought, “I’m going to do this on my own. I’m going to go into business for myself.” The heady exhilaration of that moment was followed by other, not necessarily good, feelings. After the initial dream, you found out you had to learn about things like tax codes and office equipment, outsourc...

Rugged Individualism vs Human Nature Author : Ghulam Ahmed Parvez
"Rugged individualism" is actually a euphemism for Thomas Hobbes' baseless concept of man's natural condition as a war of everyone against everyone else. Even different species of wild animals (each of which has its own group soul, as opposed to humans, which have individual souls) cooperate with one another for their mutual benefit, so Hobbes would have had us believe that mankind is inherently more bestial than the beasts, perhaps explaining th...

Reduce The Stress! Author : Gene Simmons
First, let’s make a distinction between pressure and stress. We all have sources of pressure in our lives - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. These pressures have a multitude of sources such as family, job, lack of job, finances, health or lack of time. Stress is our internal, personal response or reaction to these pressures. Stress is how well we handle - or don’t handle pressures. Too much self-imposed stress can affect us mentally, emot...

Stone Deaf Author : Wayne and Tamara
Direct Answers - Column for the week of July 12, 2004 I have been married a dozen years, but my marriage has been purely platonic for the last four. We are good friends, nothing more. Recently I contacted a pen pal I've been writing since the age of 13. The two of us lost contact 16 years ago, but back then we had very strong feelings, and you could say we were in love. He lived in the USA, I in Holland, and we would talk every day on the pho...

Discovering Opportunity in Times of Challenge Author : Dan Britt
"I'd like to find a partner who dances. Do you?" my profile on Match.com asked. My now-husband Drew emailed that he was willing to take lessons, and that was enough for me. Non-dancer Drew’s courage to put himself out on the dance floor and to show in lesson after lesson his amateur status was truly impressive. We took private dance instruction for a year before our wedding, and as a result, got around the dance floor quite gracefully at our rece...
