Pinterest is without doubt the world’s biggest online catalog of ideas. Many dedicated pinners see it as a source of inspiration, while others choose to use the site as a supplement or complement to their work. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Pinterest is a “quiet” and unique social media platform where you can casually browse and bookmark visuals without worrying whether other people will like or comment on your posts. Pinterest is a platform that gives you the opportunity to express yourself and allows you to broadcast your tastes and lifestyle to the world, even if that lifestyle is just the stuff of dreams….READ MORE

And how will they do that? With Mods for Minecraft Pocket Edition, of course. Mods (short for modifications) are anything that change Minecraft Pocket Edition’s world from what it originally was and helps you put your own touch on this new reality….READ MORE

Our planet has been home to countless billions of people throughout time. However, few have managed to leave their mark or contribute to the role and place of humanity more than scientists with their discoveries, inventions, and revolutionary thinking. Much of these people’s impact can be noted in their brilliant and powerful quotes. Our quest as a species has been and continues to ultimately be twofold: to find out who we are as individuals (self-discovery) and what our station is in the grand scheme of the natural world and the cosmic. For some, this may include a search for a higher power. On the other hand, others seek to understand the intricacies of nature and the cosmos….READ MORE

For thousands of years, one’s virginity has been seen in many different cultures as the most important gift a woman could give to her husband on their wedding night. Also, virginity has been the indicator of purity and divinity in major religious traditions, with two of the most noted examples being the Virgin Mary, of course, and Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom, law, and justice in ancient Greek religion and mythology. Fast-forward to contemporary Western society, where the word virginity is viewed with distaste, and the thing itself is seen as a shameful quality of usually a young person who has to get rid of it as soon as possible…..READ MORE

Some people say that we are what we eat, and in all truth, this statement isn’t too far off the mark if one takes into consideration the incredible effects diet has on our body and brain.

This explains why so many of our common diseases such as diabetes, heart problems, depression, and ultimately obesity have so much to do with what we eat and how we feed ourselves. After all, our body is our temple and should be treated with respect and love….READ MORE

In a modern sense, comedy refers to any discourse or work generally intended to be humorous or to amuse by inducing laughter, especially in theater, television, film, and stand-up comedy. The origins of the term, however, can be traced to ancient Greece, from where the word comedy derives (komodia). During the age of Athenian democracy, people enjoyed themselves and had a wonderful time at the theaters of that golden era, whereas today people usually do so in front of their home TV screens. With the spread of film throughout the world in the twentieth century, the talent of comedians reached the general public, and Charlie Chaplin, through silent film, became the first global comedic icon….READ MORE
