So some of you may not know. But Japanese scientist have recently been working on how to record your dreams by measuring your brain activity while you sleep. They wake you up from REM and ask you what your'e dreaming about. After collecting  tons of data, they used an algorithm to figure out what the patients were dreaming.  Although only 60% of their research was accurate. Us humans are evolving quickly in technology and it will only get better.

                                             Here's a of video I found intriguing.

There is nothing special about this blog post. So today I will do a how to post. I know quite a few people who do not know how to tie a tie. I have been practicing with one of my dads pink ties and I

 have gotten the hang of it. The image I will show is how to do a Four-In-Hand knot.

If you're wondering what my awesome tie looks like here is a selfie I took. 

                 

Helium

This past weekend I was at my friends birthday party. She had a helium balloon and we had never tried inhaling helium and it sounded fun to make our voices sound high and squeaky. Well I had posted on a social media site that we had done it. And a bunch of rude people had said  we were going to end up being stupid by losing brain cells.
                               Helium does not kill brain cells and helium is not a drug. If helium was a drug we wouldn't be able to put them in balloons without a prescription. The bad thing is helium can kill you. Not because the gas itself but not getting enough oxygen. If you were breathing in enough oxygen and inhaling helium then there would be no harm done.
                                Next thing I wanted to talk about was, The heavier the gas is, the slower sound waves will travel. So your voice will sound deeper.  Helium is six times lighter than air.  So when you talk your sound waves are going  at a higher rate making your voice sound high.

Are wild pigs trying to take over the world? This isn't your typical farm pig you think about. These are Feral pigs. Feral pigs could grow up to 1,000 pounds but on average are 600-800 pounds.

                           The wild pig population have been increasing. They are originally from Europe and brought over by European settlers to the U.S. wild pigs are omnivores. For all those bacon eaters. They have revenge coming! There has been lots of news on a documentary done by Discovery called " Pig Bomb". Giant wild Feral pigs destroying crops and even attacking humans.
                                           WATCH DOCUMENTARY BELOW!!!!!

I have been recently been watching a lot of documentaries. One of them is called "Are we real?" I haven't had time to watch the full movie. But from what I have watched it talks about how we are different from all the rest of the animals on earth. The documentary also talks about religion and how some people think we were programmed by God. The video is about a hour long. I suggest watching about 30 minutes of the beginning that's where most of the valuable information is.

                   I couldn't upload the video from youtube so click the link below to watch the video.

Ever wonder what gummy bears are made out of. That amazing tasting treat that little kids love. Well after this post you won't ever want to eat another gummy candy again. Lets get this straight. Gummy candies are made out of gelatin. Gelatin is made out of  skin, cartilage, bone, etc. of animals. The first two minutes of this video tells us that they use animal skin and meat to help make the gelatin. It may not seem all that bad. But what kind of animals are they using? You can also make gelatin from human skin. I would not suggest doing that because that is cannibalism and that is just gross. 

Maturity

I'm very tired of people calling freshman "immature" my dad has given me some psychology books. One of them is "Games people play". It will change your perspective on everything. Not only will it change you, it will make you second guess the people you know and who they really are. I came across on how people perceive maturity and how "more mature" people act towards people "less mature." Who decides what is mature and what is not? Of course society does. If you laugh at something inappropriate they automatically say "you're immature." What does laughing have to do with maturity? What I find funny shouldn't judge whether I am mature or not. We all have maturity in us. Not even older adults are always mature. For example: Maturity is like a switch. We decide when to turn it on, and sometimes we don't realize we have turned it off. We can not be mature all the time.

Being mature has nothing to do with age. To be mature means to react in an appropriate way in certain situations. Maturity is learned through experiences.  Everybody has been a freshman before or will become one. Freshman are young and still learning and trying to have those experiences. It's hard enough for freshman going through their awkward stages. Don't make it harder on 9th graders.

If you wanted to read the book "games people play" 

The author is Eric Berne, M.D. 

I understand a lot of people take "selfies". Most of those people who take "selfies" are teenage girls. I look in the mirror and feel pretty about myself. But when I go to take a picture I look like this guy below.


Why do I look different in the mirror than I do in pictures? Well I found a video on how mirrors work. We prefer what we see. Sometimes when we feel ugly  we are not really ugly. Our eyes lie to us. My perspective on myself doesn't matter.
You should really watch the video below. You'll find out a lot of stuff you never knew about yourself.











~Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder~
this quote is true. Although talking about ourselves is invalid.

I have realized all my peers even some of my teachers believe humans have blue blood. My whole life I have been told that the deoxygenated blood was blue. Then when our blood has oxygen it is red. To prove how my blood is blue. They told me to look at my veins. Our veins are blue. Well this is a myth. Our blood is NOT blue.
Our blood will always be red. Blood is red because it is full of red blood cells. Deoxygenated blood is a dark red color. While oxygenated blood is bright red.

Here are some links to get a better understanding. You'll find out a lot of the things you have been told growing up isn't always true.

My grandmother is a homeopath.  I have never really understood what homeopathy is until now. Homeopathy or homeopathic medicine is a philosophy that the human body has the ability to heal itself instead of using normal medicines. Homeopathic medicine (also called a remedy) is a substance that has been highly diluted. Sometimes it can even be a substance that makes you sick. They take that substance make it into a pill or a liquid. It supposedly is effective and makes the person well again. You may be thinking, well if you're putting more of that substance in the body, it would make you more sick. But no the substance would cancel out each other. Making the person healthy again. There is so much more to homeopathy that i couldn't explain myself. So here is a link to my resource http://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/homeopathy-topic-overview

For christmas this year I had gotten my cousin a yin yang necklace. I have the white part (yang) 
and she has the black part (yin). I don't really know what all of it meant. So what does this chinese symbol mean? After looking it up on the internet. The colors of the symbol were self explanatory by the black and white. black meaning night, restful, peace, and more feminine. White means  day, energenic, and  masculine. I read a really good article about it. And it helped me to understand what the yinyang symbol meant to people.  I really do recommend you reading this article it has some interesting facts about yinyang symbol and where it has came from >  http://www.leisure.food-recipe-cooking.com/yin-yang-meaning-and-relevance-fcr-01.htm              

Earlier this week i was reading an article about the FDA. And it surprised me what is really in our food. Nothing taste better than feces and rat hair in your food right?
The reasoning why the FDA let's these rodents/bugs into your food is because. There isn't a 100% way taking them out. No matter how small the company is. reason why I chose to do this is so everyone knows what you're eating! Yuck
