THE WAR OF ANT: THE LONG-LIVED SYMBOL OF "FOR THE COMMUNITY" IDEALS | PART 2
Continue the previous story: 3. The enslaving strategy Some families are even shrewder for they enslave workers from others for their service. During the nest raids of neighboring ants, the dulotic ant will kill the adult ants and bring unborn eggs to the nest. When young ants hatch, they have no idea who their true fellow humans are, and will accept the orders of their new owners.

THE WAR OF ANT: THE LONG-LIVED SYMBOL OF "FOR THE COMMUNITY" IDEALS | PART 1
Had benevolence been a precursor to harmony, a rather unsound mechanism as “bloodshed for survival” wouldn’t have developed alongside the evolution history. Inasmuch as there must have been some grounds for animal fighting to develop into an instinct.

WE AND THE CORONAVIRUS
That was what I voiced upon getting involved in the discussion of my fellows on the outbreak. And what I meant back then was neither an ailing economy nor an insecure political situation. My “far cry” was rather dewy “us” inhabiting an au courant world.This article is to study such notion..

FROM COVID-19 TO THE FUTURE OF E-COMMERCE AND LIVESTREAMING
Host of the most acclaimed US food show, Alton Brown once revealed that after 9/11, Americans were all too stressed out by terrorists news and updates. They were in desperate needs of a relief, and such “soothing” programs as cartoons and food shows seemed to best fulfil their desire. To boost ratings, studios had no choice but to restructure.

DERMATOGLYPHICS: BE CAUTIOUS
To save your precious time, I am claiming at the very beginning that dermatoglyphics is nothing but a fraud and deception. That being said, it is even worse than fortune-telling and astrology as should be in the same group as macrobiotic diet, anti-vaccine and multi-level marketing. At least, fortune-tellers and astrologers never claim themselves science-based.

The Impact of Halo Effects or the Beauty Helps your Life Better
When Cisco’s stock plummeted 80% the following year, the journalists changed their tune. Suddenly the company’s competitive advantages were reframed as destructive shortcomings: poor customer service, a woolly strategy, clumsy acquisitions, a lame corporate culture, and an insipid CEO.

EXTRAORDINARY MATH STUDENTS WOULD USE CALCULATOR ANYWAY
Whist it’s true in the former half, it doesn’t necessarily lead to the conclusion in the latter. A vast number of audience has now got bored of, thus developed an immune system to the so-called stories of "billionaires are dropouts, thus there’s no need to attend colleges". Given that, math prejudices still stir them up.
