Where do you see Artificial Intelligence in daily life?
That evening, as soon as you step into a wedding and finds out something wild constantly crossing over your heads and perhaps messing your hair a little too. Or compelling kids dumbfound by showing how your smartphone can actually talk and respond to your queries are more or less of the examples of scientific evolution that are now the part of our daily lives. While we take no notice of these things, but they actually represent how science has progressed and grown into colossal position by humans. The journey of these advancements that began from basic programmable digital computers in 1940’s, centered on the conceptual principle of mathematical reasoning that later inspired a handful of scientists to commence earnestly considering the possibility of building an electronic brain.

Door. Doors. Door.
I was looking through some old work recently, and found a few short stories I wrote in high school. I didn't really edit them that much, so if there are any errors, that's why, but this story was definitely interesting to me. Looking back, this story really speaks a lot to where I was in my healing journey from the traumas I've experinced. I kept getting back up and essentially turning on myself, my only true friend at the time, because other people kept putting poisoning thoughts into my head. So, without further ado, here it is:

Clockworks Chronicles of Zahn
7) And Dinner Is Now Served Cooper was upstairs in the Steam and Whistle in his room changing back into his dress black uniform. He had spent the rest of the day, since he had met with Her Eminence in the morning, dressed in street clothes following up on leads and otherwise touching base with his network of eyes and ears on the streets. He was trying to find clues as to where the Shadow Battalion was hidden.

Collaborating with the Full Moon
The Full Moon is the climax of the monthly lunar cycle, up to which, energies have been building and building. This is the moment of culmination and the Big Bang. The time of fruition and completion of a cycle. The time for releasing the old and letting go of what does not serve. Lower energies, negative patterns, toxic thoughts, beliefs and behaviours find their way into our lives and influence our mental, emotional and physical health and well-being, but we’re often so busy getting by, managing ourselves and our situations that we forget we have the power to address them! The full moon is a perfect opportunity to pause do so with the assistance of our dear ol’ friend Luna.

My Review of "The Mandalorian: Season 1"
I'm sure you've all probably heard of The Mandalorian by now. Guessing from the timeliness of this review you can probably guess that I'm not necessarily a huge Star Wars geek but I have seen all the movies. This series has been the talk of the town for quite some time. My friends have told me that I had to watch it but I never got around to getting Disney plus.

Closing Pandora's Box: March 2020's Full Moon in Virgo
What is a Full Moon? A Full Moon occurs when the sun is opposite the moon, representing the peak, or climax of the lunar cycle. Throughout history, Full Moons have been known to cause unexpected events, and strange behavior. Because the two luminaries are in opposition to one another, Full Moons are known to highlight any opposing forces or polarities in your life, such as the balance between self and the other, the balance between the masculine and feminine, and the balance between work and home.

Why Personal Agency is the Antithesis of the Establishment
Sovereignty necessitates personal agency. A sovereign being is fully responsible for their own choices for their body, environment and medical procedures. Personal agency doesn't make for much cash or control. It's essentially the antithesis of the establishment. I remember partaking in all kinds of invasive procedures and allowing for control over me and my choices before I claimed my own sovereignty.
