This week Benetton launched their UNHATE campaign in support of the Unhate Foundation. The campaign has already been called controversial, radical and “going a bit too far”. Nonetheless there are those of us that completely support the campaign. It was created to oppose and undermine hate culture, the Unhate Foundation will engage in the development of campaigns aimed at expelling the “fear of the other”. Apart from an incredible image campaign, featuring world leaders kissing [...]

Nowadays people seem to think that the solution to all problems is pills. Pills for depression, Pills for pain, Pills for insomnia, just pills, pills, and more pills. Recently an artist, Lucy McRae came up with a bizarre idea; swallow-able perfume capsules. The swallow-able perfume is currently in the development stage but apparently it works with the natural processes of the metabolism, turning the skin into an ‘atomizer’ by releasing fragrant molecules during perspiration. Everyone [...]

Imagine staying at a hotel with zero-gravity. Well it’s already possible to experience zero-gravity on Earth, but how about in space for days as a tourist?

We can’t live forever, at least not yet, but what if you die because of the end of the world. A lot of people are paranoid about the 2012 prophecy but there are far more possibilities the world could end. It’s a fact that in about 4.5 to 5 billion years or Sun will reach the end of its life. The Earth would be long gone before that as our Sun increases twice its current [...]

We can agree to disagree on this issue but one thing is for sure, the planet is going through some changes. Manmade or not, the fact is that tectonic plates are shifting and are usually followed by tsunamis, floods occurring all around the globe, winter seasons are becoming colder, summers are generally warmer, hurricanes develop stronger, tornadoes appear more frequent, volcanic eruptions and wildfires burning forests and people’s homes.

If you haven’t seen the 3 episode miniseries of Stephen Hawking, you should. It’s called ‘Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking’. Stephen Hawking is a man that I deeply admire because despite of his physical condition, his mind, I suppose must be a maze of wonders. I have a cousin who recently turned to Pentecostal church and of course they don’t believe in any kind of alien life. My cousin respectfully asked me that if [...]

Who knows! People believe in so much sh*t these days that it’s hard to keep up with.

The average person use 10% of brain potential. Do not believe that 90% is dead or dormant; we simply don’t use our brain to the fullest. The human brain is however the most complex organ in the human body and perhaps the most complex structure known in the universe. Some fear that computers are living beings but, that’s simply not the case. However, computers in the future may be able to, due to their organic [...]

Here on the island we get enough sunlight to power the entire planet, yet we use oil resources. There are some wind turbines nonetheless I believe we can do better. If we turn to efficient green energy, most of our problems will be solved. How so? We would pay a lot less on energy and water as we no longer need to buy oil from Venezuela and finally the ugly polluting refinery can be removed [...]

From 1972 to 2006 there was a remarkable reduction in the number of  honeybees in the US. Honeybees play a very important part in our ecosystems. If we loose our bee population, it will be disastrous to the economy and ultimately to us. Many fruits and vegetables such as almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, cantaloupes, cherries, cranberries, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelon and many other crops rely on bees for pollination.
