David Simkins and Marc Zicree work in television. They realized one day they knew some interesting people so they cajoled them into talking into microphones. Listen in. Hear how TV really works. And doesn’t. Deric Hughes and Ben Raab are writers for Syfy’s WAREHOUSE 13. Hailing from the world of comics and new media, they were obvious hires for season one and easily made the cut for season two. In this fast half-hour they discuss their start in the business and the experience of working on a hit show. […]

The THIRD of Four parts in the HeavenField story. Welcome to The HeavenField – a place of dreams and nightmares that waits upon the edge of reality. Nations, clandestine Government Agencies and Supernatural horrors, all these fight for supremacy, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Welcome to The HeavenField. The Battle has Begun… The third installment of The HeavenField Novel – a fast-paced science-fiction thriller set within a British experimental Scientific Researcher Facility. Alex finds himself incarcerated by his former allies, unable to intervene as they slide inexorably towards a war for control of the HeavenField. He is lost in a personal struggle to resist the terrifying effects of his exposure to the Field, and a descent into madness. Back at the Maunsworth Research Facility, Grace Palmer and Thomas Sullivan must try and save the Project as it comes under attack from both within their trusted team, and from the HeavenField itself. After the attempts to destroy the HeavenField project have ended in disaster, the protaganists must regroup and prepare for the final battle to come… “The others tell me that I waste my time on my visits to you Alexi,” said Henschel, from his seat at the table in Alex’s cell. Henschel’s eyes darted around the room once more. Alex had noticed the old man was exhibiting more and more signs of madness. “They say you are too great a risk, and that I should simply kill you,” He smiled, trying to gauge Alex’s reaction. “And is that what you intend to do?” asked Alex morosely. The visits from Henschel were becoming ever more alarming, and Alex didn’t expect to survive much longer. Perhaps this would prove to be the moment. “Oh, I can’t do that,” Henschel giggled, with a wild light in his eye. “You are much too powerful Alexi, don’t taunt me. But you are a risk. You must try to fight the enemy within yourself, to come back to us!”

Hi, my name is Aubree Adams. Colorado’s marijuana harmed my family. I and other families who have had loved ones severely harmed or who died by the effects of marijuana developed the Every Brain Matters community. We educate about the health and environmental dangers of marijuana and the drug culture expansion by providing support for families and advocacy based on lived experiences and science.

The public is being deceived regarding industrialized marijuanaproducts and their effects, like cannabis use disorder, cannabis-induced psychosis, and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, which has led to a public health crisis. No matter how much the drug culture expands, we will “Keep On Keepin On” because we wholeheartedly know that Every Brain Matters.

A wise man once said “The best way to predict the future, is to create it.” That’s exactly what we’ve been doing as a species for thousands of years. Now we’re reaching the next real turning point in human history, our technology is on the cusp of radical transformation of both our economy and society, entire industries are being disrupted, our environment is changing, new exciting industries are just beginning and our lives are getting longer… and all the while are we as humans happier? more fulfilled? is our future going to be constructive or ultimately destructive? The future is coming whether we like it or not, so join Carl Taylor as he interviews scientists, entrepreneurs and other experts about what comes next so you can be informed and contribute to the discussions and decisions that will ultimately shape humanity for the decades and centuries to come.

Science Underground is a two-minute podcast hosted by TED speaker and scientist Ainissa Ramirez. By the time you sip your coffee or eat your cereal, Science Underground explains a science topic in a fun and understandable way. The show explores a range of topics—some that are pulled right from the headlines, others are topics you’ve been wanting to know. Ainissa interviews tops scientists and translates their work in everyday language–arming you with science nuggets for the next lunch table chat, water cooler klatch, or cocktail party. Each week there is a separate topic that can be listened to before class or when you have a brief moment to spare. The ideas will give you much to think about long after the podcast is over. New episodes are released on Sunday mornings. (Many topics align with NGSS.)

Einstein wrote this book for people who are interested in understanding the Theory of Relativity but aren’t experts in scientific and mathematical principles. I’m sure many people have heard about Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, but most of them don’t really know what it is all about. This book gives them a chance to know more about this very famous theory without the need to take a Physics course first. This book is divided into three parts. The first part explains what special relativity is all about. The second part discusses general relativity thoroughly and the last part deals with the considerations of the universe as a whole. The first part explains the principles of the special theory of relativity. Here the relationship between space and time are thoroughly discussed. The derivation of Einstein’s most famous formula which is E = mc2 is also explained in this part in a very simple way. The second part which is about the general theory of relativity is about the generalization of the special theory, Einstein’s thoughts about Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation and how they affect the space time continuum. The last part explains how the universe actually works on a cosmic scale. These things may sound too complicated at first glance but Einstein was able to explain them to his readers in the book without sounding too technical. Reading Einstein’s “Relativity: The Special and General Theory” may not sound very attractive at first. We’ve all heard of Einstein’s equation but how many people can actually explain what it means. This book will elucidate all the iconic thoughts of Einstein without requiring a physics degree from the reader. More great books at LoyalBooks.com
