The Cult Of The Heavens' Gate
In 1997, the abnormally bright Hale - Bopp comet flared up a spectacular scenery of light in the night sky. On one extreme, its appearance frightened the astronomers whereas on the other, it brought with itself the most unanticipated misery to the families, a mass suicide tied with an extraterrestrial cosmic belief. It was a cult called ‘The Heavens’ Gate’ that had a firm faith that the Earth would be recycled (rejuvenated, wiped clean, born again) before the year 2027 and the only probability for the survival of their consciousness was to willfully leave their human bodies or as they called it, ‘vehicles’ at an appointed time.

The Arena of Life
The slave auction was a chaotic event as thousands of people came to sell and purchase animals, livestock, and people. People were bustling about--and bids on the living goods were shouted out into the forum. Many people gathered, not only to buy slaves and livestock, but they also came to watch as people from various parts of the world; kidnapped from their homes and taken to a foreign land--they spoke in various languages--some understanding others were yelling to the others. While others like the women and children stood silently, watching the Roman crowd with large fearful eyes. Some were even crying.

Jon Favreau Compares 'The Mandalorian' To 'Game of Thrones'
The Mandalorian season 2 has been reported to include some characters who are already familiar to Star Wars fans. Given that Lucasfilm has not confirmed the rumors, take this with a grain of salt. Arguably, the biggest are the possible additions of Boba Fett and Ahsoka Tano, the two characters that had been two of the popular characters from old and new Star Wars stories for years. Especially Boba Fett, who made his first appearance in the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. As these are just rumors for now, we will have to wait and see in The Mandalorian season 2, which premieres October 30.

What is Unity Consciousness?
Author: Patrick Oliver Riley For: POR Productions As some one who has poured many foundations for people to build their homes upon a strong sturdy base is usually considered the best. Something that will hold up over a long time, and make sure the rest of the structure is supported so well, it is rarely given a second thought. A good form carpenter knows that any issues or flaws that show up in the foundation, will travel upwards through the rest of the house and possibly even amplify if not careful. A measurement that is only an inch off at the top of a basement wall can end up meaning a room is half a foot to wide by the second floor. Flaws that may seem inconsequential soon balloon into massive headaches down the road, for builder and home owner. It's the same with anything you wish to build. Especially societies.

Will water stress lead to the next big war?
Cape Town 2017-18. The scary episode of Water stress. Reservoirs and dams in the South African western cape were hovering between 15-30% of their capacity. There was a widespread fear of an imminent water-stress induced doomsday, designated as ‘day zero’ when all municipal supply would cease, and people would have to queue up in order to receive their water ration. The administration implemented severe restrictions and penalties and eventually the water level in the dams rose to 70% capacity. The country heaved a sigh of collective relief. But not forever.
