I'm learning more about Maturity right now in particular what I'm wondering about is how long it takes for maturity to kick in. I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because its true. My father talks about this all the time.
"They refuse to blame other people or circumstances, and accept that they have made and will make mistakes. In order to live that way, they know they need to keep learning - especially from their mistakes - and put a high priority on wisdom. The wiser they get, the more more wisdom they want, and the more grateful they become for every source of wisdom, learning and knowledge. Children say, "Its not my fault.""
The quote i chose here is basically saying That as time goes along eventually you take responsibility for your actions and you stop with baby foolishness like saying he did it and she did it.
I think this is great because It makes me wonder wow this is easy because could do this and its easy if thats all you have to do

I'm more about my topic, global warming, right now and in particular what I'm wondering about is what might happen nest. I researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because it talked about how earth was described as a sea of all water. There was no land when god had created earth.
Bible scholars who recognize this destruction of the original earth, as being a flood, have found reference to a catastrophic flood mentioned in the scriptures that do not match Noah's flood, as described in Genesis chapter 8, which receded off of the earth slowly. This earlier flood and/or destruction of the earth, is also believed to be referred-to in the following scriptures.
The quote I chose here is basically saying that god created earth with all water at first. This however is not related to Noah's ark.
I think this might be true because water is most dominant on earth and is covers a lot more land than dry land. Some new thoughts that i have is can this be true, because if this really happened, maybe the origin of humans may have started in the ocean that we live next to.

I'm learning more about chocolate right now, and in particular what i was wondering about is chocolate a sexual food. I was reasearching online and this news article caught my attention because, it is basically saying that chocolate is a sexual food. The title of this article is Would you change your diet for good sex?
"We hopefully all know this story: Chocolate (cocao) contains the compound methylxanthine which triggers the release of dopamine in our blood which can leave you woozy with pleasure! Also, a study of 163 women in The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that those who consumed at least one cube of chocolate daily reported significantly greater desire and better overall sexual function than the individuals who abstained. The reasoning: high-flavonoid chocolate consumption has been linked to improved circulation. Bring it on!"
The quote here is basically saying that chocolate is a sexually food. There was a study shown that proves it. Women who eat chocolate daily have better pleasure and desire while they are having sex.
I think this is interesting because, i heard this on television and i wondered if this was actually true. I wonder what other foods make you have more pleasure when having sex. I think that chocolate is tasty and this might be the reason why mostly women eating i or eat it so often.

I'm learning more about trust right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: How are trustworthy people identified? I was researching this question online, and this poem caught my attention because it questions on how to be able to trust someone.
"In relationships of trust
And deep intimacy,
Everything is diluted
When veiled in secrecy.
Who can you trust completely
With all that you possess; "
The quote I chose here is basically saying how when someone has so many secrets to hide how are they able to build trust in their relationships. Trust involves being able to depend on the other and being able to tell the other person everything.
I think this interesting because with building trust, you can't keep secrets. It makes me wonder if trust can still be built without telling every single secret to your other. I mean you shouldn't keep secrets or hide anything, just be open and not suspicious.
Insomnia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
-
It's important because knowing what insomnia is helps to figure out what sleepless night are and why they occur.
-
-
Insomnia is typically followed by functional impairment while awake.
-
So this is saying that when you don't sleep at night you often get hurt the next day. -
I guess this is saying that if you are not usually asleep when you normally would be, you are less attentive. You could bump into something or hurt your foot etc. When you are between being awake and being asleep that can also damage you in the morning.
-
-
According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in the year 2007, approximately 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year.[3] Insomnia is 1.4 times more common in women than in men.[4]
-
This sentence is important because statistics mean that there are personal experiences out there to investigate in the mysterious questions circulating sleepless nights

Because of solar flare bombardment the Earth's core begins heating up at an unprecedented rate, eventually causing crustal displacement. This results in an onslaught of Doomsday event scenarios plunging the world into chaos, ranging from California falling into the Pacific Ocean, the eruption of the Yellowstone National Park caldera, massive earthquakes, and Megatsunami impacts along every coast line on the Earth.

this is important to know because it is a true fact!

Global warming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century.
-
basic information about global warming.
-
-
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.
-
This is important because it descibes why and how the temperatures all around the world are going up. This also shows that as we get more technology, we are destroying the earth more and more.
-
-
The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from pre-industrial times to 1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward.

Great Wall of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
Since the 5th century BC, several walls have been built that were referred to as the Great Wall. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; the majority of the existing wall were built during the Ming Dynasty.
-
The words show how the Great Wall is like and where it is .
-
-
The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. The most comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has recently concluded that the entire Great Wall, with all of its branches, stretches for 8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi). This is made up of 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) of sections of actual wall, 359.7 km (223.5 mi) of trenches and 2,232.5 km (1,387.2 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and rivers

Irish mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
The Mythological Cycle, comprising stories of the former gods and origins of the Irish, is the least well preserved of the four cycles.
-
I have no idead what's Irish myth is about. It may give me an idea.
-
-
The Ulster Cycle is set around the beginning of the Christian era and most of the action takes place in the provinces of Ulster and Connacht. It consists of a group of heroic tales dealing with the lives of Conchobar mac Nessa, king of Ulster, the great hero Cú Chulainn, the son of Lug, and of their friends, lovers, and enemies.
-
Myth change over time because of the religous changes
-
-
Like the Ulster Cycle, the Fenian Cycle is concerned with the deeds of Irish heroes. The stories of the Fenian Cycle appear to be set around the 3rd century and mainly in the provinces of Leinster and Munster.
-
So these cylcle also depends on the different provinces. The tales of irish hero are cool.

The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs and proposals, which posit that cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21 or December 23, 2012,[1][2] which is said to be the end-date of a 5,125-year-long Mayan Long Count calendar.

Irrationality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
Irrationality is cognition, thinking, talking or acting without inclusion of rationality.
-
The term is used, usually pejoratively, to describe thinking and actions that are, or appear to be, less useful or illogical than other more rational alternatives.
-
Irrationality is doing something without rationality, without reason or any logic behind it.
-
-
Irrational behaviors of individuals include taking offense or becoming angry about a situation that has not yet occurred, expressing emotions exaggeratedly (such as crying hysterically), maintaining unrealistic expectations, engaging in irresponsible conduct such as problem intoxication, disorganization, or extravagance, and falling victim to confidence tricks. People with a mental illness like schizophrenia may exhibit irrational paranoia.
-
I wonder if irrationality is really related to a mental disorder.

Afterlife - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

Deceased persons are usually believed to go to a specific realm or plane of existence after death, typically believed to be determined by a god, based on their actions during life

"Deceased persons are usually believed to go to a specific realm or plane of existence after death, typically believed to be determined by a god, based on their actions during life. In contrast, the term reincarnation refers to an afterlife in which only the "essence" of the being is preserved, and the "afterlife" is another life on Earth or possibly within the same universe."
In wikipedia it explain better how the after life works. What really occurs and if there is or not one.
-
-
In metaphysical models, theists generally believe some sort of afterlife awaits people when they die. Atheists generally do not believe that there is an afterlife. Members of some generally non-theistic religions such as Buddhism, tend to believe in an afterlife (such as reincarnation) but without reference to God. The Sadducees were an ancient Jewish sect that generally believed that there was a God but no afterlife.
Agnostics generally hold the position that, like the existence of God, the existence of other supernatural phenomena such as the existence of souls or life after death is unverifiable and therefore remains unknown. Some philosophies (e.g., humanism, posthumanism, and, to some extent, empiricism) generally hold that there is no afterlife.
Many religions, whether they believe in the soul’s existence in another world like Christianity, Islam and many pagan belief systems, or in reincarnation like many forms of Hinduism and Buddhism, believe that one’s status in the afterlife is a reward or punishment for their conduct during life.

Reincarnation refers to an afterlife concept found among Hindus, Rosicrucians, Spiritists, and Wiccans. In reincarnation, spiritual development continues after death as the deceased begins another earthly life in the physical world, acquiring a superior grade of consciousness and altruism by means of successive reincarnations. This succession leads toward an eventual liberation.

I wonder if there really is recarnation and if you can remember some of you past life.

Korean wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

South Korea is among the world's top ten cultural exporters[3] and the Korean wave began with the export of Korean TV dramas

Because South Korea is a major cultural exporter, it allows the beginning of the korean wave

Korean wave's influence is most visible in China, Japan and Southeast Asia, spreading to India,[6] the Middle East,[7] Central Asia,[8] Iran,[9] Israel,[10] Turkey[11] and Russia.[11] The Korean wave is rapidly expanding beyond Asia through the internet and has a substantial presence in North, Central and South America, particularly in Chile, Mexico and Argentina,[12] and is increasingly becoming popular in the United States.[13] It is also gaining momentum in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, led by Hungary[14] and Norway.[15] It is gathering positive interest in North Africa, attracting a sizable niche audience in Egypt.[16] Currently, the Korean wave is starting to hit the shores of the United Kingdom[17][18] and Australia.[

The Korean wave first began in the early 1990s with the film industry under the strict surveillance of the Korean government.

Hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views
-
It was DJ Afrika Bambaataa that outlined the five pillars of hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking, graffiti writing, and knowledge.
-
This is important because Dj Afrika Bambaataa was the fore father of the hip-hop movement which is still in effect in present day and has also developed into other similar forms of hip-hop as well. He was also the leader of the Zulu Nation which is seen as a gang today but really just a movement more than it was a gang.
-
-
The relationship between graffiti and hip hop culture arises from the appearance of new and increasingly elaborate and pervasive forms of the practice in areas where other elements of hip hop were evolving as art forms, with a heavy overlap between those who wrote graffiti and those who practiced other elements of the culture.
-
The word "hip" was used as African American Vernacular English (AAVE) as early as 1898. The colloquial language meant "informed" or "current," and was likely derived from the earlier form hep

This approach appears to reduce the effects of nightmares and other symptoms in acute stress disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.[3]

This is saying that stress is another cause for nightmares. I can see why because one is so stressed out that when they go to sleep, the stress goes to sleep with him/her making him/her all think about or dream about is whats making him/her stressed.

I'm wondering why so many people are falling for the whole acai berry businesses. It has been revealed a long time ago that there is nothing different about acai berry than any other types of berries.

Eight species are native to Central and South America, from Belize southward to Brazil and Peru, growing mainly in swamps and floodplains

The fact that acai berry only grows in brazil is important because this is what makes the price go up so high. It can't be found anywhere in the United States.

"Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not
reveal
the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.
In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its
freedom,"
The quote I chose here is basically saying butterflies were granted freedom from the Great Spirit.
