When Our Earth Stops Spinning
If our Earth stopped spinning quickly, two important elements of our planet would continue their movements: The crust of the Earth can move hundreds of miles a day and would continue this pattern, and our atmosphere (jet stream, oceans, weather) would wipe the surface of our planet with enormous intensity. Both would clear the landscape and kill all life—or most of it, anyway! I wonder if there's a possibility that this is why there's no Atlantis and Egypt is no longer a jungle. Have we ever swiftly slowed down before? Scientists don't believe so.

'The Strangers: Prey at Night'
I just finished watching The Strangers, starring Liv Tyler, on Netflix. My first and only time watching it was ten years ago. Back then, I had given it kind of low marks and hadn't seen it since. When I re-watched it, I still got the same feeling that it was too much of a classy, adult version of The Charles Manson Family taking over at Camp Crystal Lake on Friday the 13th. I've always been a huge Jason fan and in my opinion, Jason Voorhees and his mom would have run through them and taken the Camp back, of course! The Strangers leaves me with too many unanswered questions, at the end especially. I feel other horror films at least TRY to give clues away! I never got that "AHA" moment, there was no carrot dangling, and no "There's going to be a sequel" when it ended, so finding there was a sequel was a pleasant surprise for me.

'The Elder Scrolls VI'
Game Synopsis: Open world, one-player, RPG A Brief History of Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls originally came from a 1990s PC video game design, called Arena, for Medieval Gladiator tournament fighting to become Grand Champion. During development of Arena, some side quests were added, as well as RPG elements, locations with cities and dungeons that were separate from Arena Tournaments. The emphasis began to come away from the original design concept. Which tends to be pretty normal when you get a bunch of game designers together!

Openbook: Our Quest for a Safer Social Media Experience
I have had a Facebook account since 2009. Before then, I used Myspace for connecting with family and friends. I didn't even set up my first Myspace page. A friend did it in 2006 using a picture of me she had taken with her cellphone. Surprising me, she called me from her lunchbreak at work to give me my new account password. At the time, I don't think I even had an email, so she set me up with that as well. I was in no way shape or form 'internet savvy' at the time. I thanked her and that was my introduction to the 'social media challenge!'

The Starless Planet
My name is Thana. I stand near the window in the living room of my space pod, so I can gaze out at the looming planet that is closing distance to us. We have been planning to populate the starless world for 1,000 years. That’s the length of time it has taken for it to reach the edges of our solar system, from where ever it came from. It was first spotted in 2018, when I was still a small child. I was still all human. When it was first spotted, we knew it was once orbiting a star that exploded. It still gave off radiation and produced its own Aurora Borealis. When particles hit its magnetic upper atmosphere, the bright blue glow lit up the dull brown globe. It was like an ocean wave on a shallow beach. When the frothy seawater pulls back, it reveals the sandy shore. The starless planet is still spinning, like a caged bird who finally escaped captivity. We never did name it, but the starless planet has a Moon in orbit that we call Aeron. Astronomers had released the videos to express their amazement that they could capture such phenomenon. Our newest telescopes were able to see billions of light years away.

Mysterious Radio Signals Detected from Deep Space
How do scientists tell the difference between the frequencies of another galaxy, or when a star explodes, from intelligent life? The official jury is still out, trying to make heads or tails of the evidence collected. The Green Bank Telescope, in West Virginia, picked up signals that scientists call 'FRB 121102' and they originate from a Dwarf Galaxy some 3 billion light years away. It's the first recurring FRB to date!

The Myth of Election Meddling
The trail of successful internet hacking, although not always the Russian kind, is pre-election 2016. The following example is only one of the many and goes back to 2012: The British hacker Gary McKinnon hacked the US Pentagon, but only because he was searching for evidence of UFO investigations. Most hackers with the skills would probably have given themselves a huge permanent paycheck! Instead, someone was recently busted because he manipulated McDonald's Monopoly game. Besides the big screen TV, he gave himself a lifetime supply of Big Mac's. To make matters worse, he was a police officer. I mean, our people have gotten pretty good at spotting hacking activity. It would be better if these guys hadn't been able to get through at all... UFO's and Big Mac's??

Little Rock City Park, New York
The 2018 Summer will be over in about two months. There is still plenty of fun to be had and some of it can come pretty cheap! Maybe you're still trying to enjoy this year’s record hot weather outdoors, instead of in a motel or hotel. You could be on the last few days driving home from vacation and would like to cut costs. If you're anything like me, you just need to get away from civilization for a little bit. Whichever it is, you need a financial break. I know a park just north of Allegany State Park that can offer you a break for free. I have gone there myself and it's pretty isolated, but don't go alone! It's rumored to be haunted, which is perfect for those who like a ghost hunt all year round!
