THE POWER OF YOUR FIRST NAME
Find out what message your first name contains. The full first name given at birth gives the active number. Calculation method: all letters are encrypted, and the result is reduced to a single digit number. Exceptions are the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 (in this precise article, the number 33 is excluded from interpretation, but you can add the 2 digits and use the meanings of the 6 active number, if it happens for you to be a 33, which is very RARE) , which can be reduced to a single digit (1+1=2, 2+2=4, 3+3=6) but they are also interpreted as 2 digit numbers.

THE GRAY AREA
Relationships are not always black and white. And sometimes, a break-up can leave you seeing red. And we are often left not just with the loss of a person, but with the realization that at some point, you have lost a portion of yourself as well. And we can fear repeating the cycle. While that can be a daunting or jarring revelation, there are a number of things we can do in between relationships to make sure that a whole, healthy, and healed individual shows up at your next pairing.

How Lasers and Wi-Fi Were Born – Thanks to Cosmology
WHERE DO WE come from? How did we get here? They are questions which have been asked as long as there have been people. And answering them has given us not only valuable insights, but created great technologies along the way.

Miami Condo Collapse—The Lesson By Howard Bloom
There’s a lesson in the collapse of the Champlain Towers South in the Miami suburb of Surfside. Infrastructure is key to our lives. Maintaining it and upgrading it is crucial to our role as the most advanced nation on earth. A role that is rapidly slipping away.

You Probably Know My Ex: The F*ckboy Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard
You probably know Soren Kierkegaard as the writer of some of the most formidable philosophical and theological works of the nineteenth century. Maybe you don’t really understand anything he’s written (because let’s face it, he kind of sucked at communication even at the best of times and avoided conciseness like the plague), but vaguely know of him from your annoying philosophy major friend.

Growing Up Indigenous With a Colonizer's Face
Growing Up Indigenous With a Colonizer's Face Learning to Decolonize as a Biracial Native Growing up, I remember thinking, "I'm so happy I'm Canadian because we're not racist like the United States." This was a common sentiment to the average person living in the early 2000s. Granted, I grew up in a small, predominantly white city. I was in my preteens by the time I had met someone of Asian descent. I was even older by the time I met a Black person. I was surrounded by the Mi'qmaq people of my area all my life; these people were my friends and family. I was embarrassingly far into my teenage years when I finally understood that First Nations people were people of colour. I had never seen them as different from myself. Dancing to Powwow drums and learning Indigenous crafts was a part of my daily life; it never occurred to me that it was a racial or cultural difference. It took me even longer to clue in that to every person who passed me by, I was white.

Mexican Migrant Workers:
Every morning, Luis Arriega wakes before dawn to make the two-and-a-half-hour trek from his small Mexican village to Sinaloa de Leyva, where he works as an auto mechanic. His wife Maria stays home with the children and earns what she can, selling baskets at the local market. Maria and her oldest daughter weave the baskets from twigs that have been collected by the younger children. In addition to their daughter and the two children attending school, the Arriegas have a four-year-old son named Miguel who was born with a cleft palate.

We Don't Know What We Don't Know.
In one of my previous blogs, I mentioned the day I went onto a racetrack with my friend who races classic cars. We set out in an old Renault 5 with him driving at an astonishing speed (for a Renault 5). We hurtled at corners, hitting the brakes only at the last possible moment and flooring the throttle coming out of the bend. Thrilling! My friend’s confidence in his ability and his belief that I could do the same persuaded me that, having seen him do it, I could do it too. But there is a difference between seeing someone do something and actually doing it and feeling what it feels like to do. Nevertheless, before starting on the track, I was confident that I could do it too.

Cocoon
Ba, bump. Ba, bump. Ba...bump......My heart rate slows and I am totally in the zone. Shut off to the outside world, my noise cancelling headphones protect me from interruptions. I am itching to get going. Ideas swim like colourful, tropical fish around and around in the glass bowl that is my head. A podcast is playing. Check! A freshly brewed, strong coffee is steaming at arms reach. Check! Colourful polymer clay is lined up. Check! My tools are prepared. Check! Hands are at the ready, desperate to make something so I can find release. Hang on! Where is the chocolate? Phew! It's hidden in the creases of the couch. I may desire this later to keep me focused in my happy place. Now, to begin.

Differences Between Civil Law And Criminal Law
Differences between Civil Law and Criminal Law are really important to understand as a whole because the implications and processes involved in it are really variants. You need to be clear with the stands and understand the concepts in a broader way. Let us bifurcate the laws into the use cases. We love to watch James Bond and characters creating dialogues like “we are the godfather of law”, “I will penalize the guilty on my own, this law is futile”.

Art Crime: The Forgotten Side of Sustainability
“Art crime?” “Did you say art crime?” This conversation has happened so many times. Someone I meet asks me innocently what I do. I politely reply that I do research, knowing the next question is, “What kind of research?”, and knowing how complex the answer will be. Of all the words to associate with ‘art,’ crime is not the one anyone expects.

Braille Literacy
Let’s talk about Braille Literacy. According to the National Federation of the Blind, fewer than 10% of blind adults are braille readers.1 This statistic seems to be the most recent study done. Which is both saddening and terrifying.
