My Post Penultimate

This Blog,  has not been updated for too long so it is to be shut down

I shall post again when my new one is found.

The passage of time

One question of existence has been answered by many people and the institution of religion, philosophy and science. This question is the apparent passage of time - how it changes as you change from birth to death. Many religions see it as a spiritual process,with the soul and re-incarnation. Many scientists see it as a illusion, a varying measure by humans, heavily influenced by emotion and pain. Philosophy debates and shares with these two and invents many of its own, from change to flow.

An idea of time is that of a river, with the saying 'you can never jump in the same river twice'. This also has a few effects, linking to the core of philosophy itself. You only exist for a tiny fraction of a sentence and then disappear becoming, like the ones before you, mere memory. I am not the same person that I was when I started this sentence.

Another concept is that the perception of time is a ever-bending road, the bends being forgetfulness, barring the eye from seeing the past. you can probably remember from many years back and your past self onwards. This brings up controversy; if you continue long enough back you will go before birth and the origin of life is revealed.

The true meaning of time is unknown, a truth that we may never discover. What is your opinion of time? I am looking forward to finding out.

About water shortage; a problem for everyone

Water shortage is becoming ever more common as I write this on World Water day 2012 (22nd March). In the 1st and 2nd world nations water is being used by the gallon for: food, cleaning and many other things. It increasingly seems that people do not know what water is where there is plenty, but cannot help realising it when there is none. I wish for everyone that has a tap with clean water flowing out, to realize  how lucky that they have it and are not one of the 1.2 billion globally that do not.

The crisis that we are facing is waste and overuse. These are in the sense of needless overuse and over consumption. This behavior is causing water shortages globally -- when the demand outpaces supply.

A possible future that humanity might face is definitely not a gleeful prospect. an increase in water-based illness due to unsafe water sources may be on the list of consequences. Another terrible prospect is an increase in droughts which will soon lead to food shortages globally. Thirdly, and most terribly is...
Wars for Water which have not happened for thousands of years, in  Mesopotamia. The results of this were not good and a war like it could destroy civilization as we know it. 

A feasible solution could be to instate sustainable water management and increasing awareness on the amount of water used with everyday items and to decrease those numbers.

The Leap Year; a day throughout history

The Leap year - a year with an extra day has existed for thousands of years and can be traced back to the roman republic.


The Leap year was introduced in the roman republic in 45BC by Julius Cesar after a extended visit to Egypt.When he came back from his travels he found that Master of the Horse,Mark Antony had put the city into chaos and the calender was erring by months. Julius created a calender with the help of some Egyptian astronomers. This Calendar,the Julian, was much more accurate than before as the calendar did not to be lengthened and shortened. Julius Cesar also abolished the month of Mercedonius a 'leap month' after .


From its creation in 45BCE to Augustus's change, The Julian Calendar had 29 days in February (30 in a leap year) which was changed by Augustus(The first roman ‘emperor’) to make his month equal to Julius's.

This system worked fine for a few centuries until the calender accumulated an error of ten days(before the Gregorian calendar was introduced). In the sixteenth century Aloysius Lilius decided to devise a more accurate system by ‘skipping out three out of every four centennial years’. This system was adopted after lilio’s death by Pope Gregory XIII, hence the ‘Gregorian’ calendar.

Although the gregorian calendar was, at its beginning, a remarkable improvement to timekeeping, there are many more calenders that offer a improvement. This day - as you have now read - has been special since its foundation. Now it is the end so I shall finally ‘say’...

Happy Leap Year!

My First Post

I type this on the eighth of february,typing in a changing world.I have started this blog because of this as I am almost certain that this will seem like nothing, compared to what may come.I think therefore that it will be important to document and - perhaps - to try to solve the confilict caused by change of life and the change of thought.

There is more and now is just the beginning, go on and live for life true and do not be afraid to rebel when others conform.
