The Science Behind Relationships; Humans Media explores the basis of our attraction, contempt, why we do what we do and to whom we do it.
Hurricanes and Blizzards
There are uncanny parallels between the weather reporting of impending hurricanes and impending blizzards. I lived in New England for my entire life, until I moved to South Florida 14 years ago. I thought it was only Hardy New England reporters who stood out in the worst nature had to offer, bundled up in knitted caps that covered all but the mouth needed to speak into a microphone, to tell us what our eyes could clearly see - It was snowing - hard.

Engineering point of view to quantify toxic behavior
I am an engineer by trade, but that came much later in life. Having taken the Briggs-Meyers test many times, I was an INTJ until having my own ‘awakening’ Jan 2011. Answering the questions as honestly as before, the results came out ESFJ. I do feel that the logical ‘stuff’ and ordered thoughts are still there; but the creativity that has come in the past 10 years has shaped the logic differently. I also found myself alone a LOT, and had a lot of work to do on myself. The beginning of this journey started with dating a toxic, abusive person. Releasing that relationship came with torturous, ruminating thoughts. Being the logical person, I had no idea the calculating, manipulative ways I was being deconstructed and exploited. Oh those weaknesses were there from the start of my creation pretty much; just took an ‘expert’ to find the cracks and blow them into canyons.

Vessels
Death was approaching. Greenish-blue blood painted the remains of the sleek, triangular shaped aircraft. It was a tedious voyage through the infinite sea to escape the others. Death would have been a merciful punishment compared to the awaiting punishment. The others have no understanding of concepts such as love or mercy; just power. The others can only assume that I should have died upon impact and the self destruct sequence would eradicate all evidence of my existence. Even with the slim chance of survival upon impact, the others knew I would die soon. Several severed tentacles were scattered in the debris. I needed to get away from the aircraft before the explosion, but the slightest movement sent intense waves of pain through my small frame. The surrounding area was densely populated with tall trees and plentiful wildlife. I assumed I was in the mountains. Despite the slim chance of survival, a faint flicker of fire was noticeable in the distance indicating that against all odds, I could somehow survive. Humans were nearby and one unfortunate being would aid in my survival. Despite the darkness of the warm night, I could see clearly from this distance, the shadows of humans dancing around the flames. Even though my small octopus like body was about the size of a cup holder, I was genetically superior to any other species in the galaxy. We could survive in nearly any climate for extended periods of time, see in the dark, and we're significantly more intelligent than any other species. However, these features meant nothing to the others.

What My Arm Felt Like When I Took the Vaccine
Don't get me wrong. I take the virus seriously. The vaccine symptoms I felt for less than 48 hours are a drop in the bucket—compared to what can happen to you if the virus gets you. Comparing the pain from the vaccine to the virus is like comparing a bad vacation to hell.

Chewing Gum With Protein That "Traps" the SARS-CoV-2 Virus Developed That Could Reduce COVID Transmission
The research, led by Henry Daniell of Penn's School of Dental Medicine and carried out in collaboration with scientists from Penn's Perelman School of Medicine and School of Veterinary Medicine, as well as The Wistar Institute and Fraunhofer USA, could lead to a low-cost tool in the COVID-19 pandemic's arsenal. The results of their research were published in the journal Molecular Therapy.

Why Sports Are Good For The Mind
The quick response of muscles to stimuli, the ability to navigate water and land with ease, the agility to skillfully maneuver a ball or a racket or the strength to ride a horse. All of this demands a connection of the mind and body that is just now being explored by scientists.

Human Suffering
When you hear the word human suffering what is the picture you visualize in your mind? I see children. Children without food, without a home, children who lost their parents, and children who have nothing to eat. I see people all over the world who lost everything and hanging onto their life with a thread of hope for some better future. I see people fleeing countries where there is war. I see refugees in the camp. I see people in pain, unimaginable pain.
