As Darkness Descends
It’s bizarre how even supposedly “educated” people are paranoid, distrustful, & not believing in science. A few days ago, I discovered & shared with some of my e-mail contacts a video https://weather.com/health/video/researchers-find-dangerous-chemicals-in-natural-gas-used-in-homes which warns of the danger of cooking with gas in one’s home due to the chemicals released & left by the burning gas. Its explosive qualities & the danger of leaks were not even mentioned, although in this day & age I would not take anything for granted as being “common knowledge.”

Understanding Immunity and the Coronavirus
Finding a way to grant immunity to the Coronavirus has been a worldwide preoccupation since the beginning of the pandemic. However, the colloquial definition of the word ‘immunity’ is somewhat different than what medical professionals mean when they use this term. This difference has caused some confusion about the efficacy of the vaccines and what protection is conferred by previously having the virus. It’s important that people understand what the medical community means when speaking about immunity so that everyone can make informed decisions about any activities that may expose them to the virus.

You Are Magic
Historians, philosophers, scientist and theologians have been searching for the origins and meaning of existence since the beginning of time. Various religions have been born out of an attempt to define the indefinable. We often engage in the endless pursuit to define who, what and why we are. We measure ourselves against others and their accomplishments. We are deluged each day with media images of what is acceptable or unacceptable. There is an ongoing quest to explain the unexplainable. You are who you are and that is ever changing. You are deliciously indescribable. Each moment you are remade. Every morning when you open your eyes, you begin a new journey. The choices and decisions that you make color and change “who” you are. You are an indefinable, magical being. Have you forgotten this? Have you allowed the world to take away your magic? Each time you have a thought or task and give it life- you are creating! From preparing a meal for your family or painting a picture. Everything you do adds a different dimension to who “you” are. Life is a mystery and by accepting this fact you become one with it and more able to maneuver though it.

Remembering And Forgetting
Imagine the following scene: While you are sitting to watch a series, you appear in the scene of a banquet full of delicious food, but what catches your attention is your favourite dish while the actors flock to eat it, drooling and then you remember that you ate this dish yesterday and some of it remained in the fridge, you stand amazed You go to the kitchen, the phone rings, and you answer, but you don't recognise the speaker's voice. As it resembles the voice of your neighbour, but it is similar to the voice of your aunt as well. She ends the call and calls out to your mother. You have to bring her the scissors. She remembers when you last used them to cut a piece of cardboard to put it under the shaky table leg in your room and then you put it on top of the table, you go To get him and do the job successfully, only to find yourself standing in the kitchen unable to remember what you wanted to do first!

Is it Possible to Use the Scientific Method to Determine if Something is Art?
The scientific method would seem to be a poor choice for determining whether or not a given thing is art. After all, art is subjective, whereas science concerns itself with the objective. The question of what is art has plagued philosophers since ancient times and has not been answered satisfactorily to this day. I know it pains artists to hear this, but after thousands of years the best answer still seems to be, art is what anyone person says is art, or crudely, if it is displayed in an art museum, it is art. I would never attempt to propose to answer the question what is art, and it likely has no answer. That said I do think it is possible to ask if there might be a way to determine if a thing is art or not without necessarily having to "know" what art actually is. Strangely, it seems there is at least one (highly improbable though not unimaginable) way the scientific method could be used to do this.
