Could the Sun hold the key to a future of clean energy?

Since the 1950s, scientists have attempted to harness nuclear fusion - the process that creates the Sun's energy - to generate near-limitless amounts of electricity.

But the fact that we still have no fusion power plants is testament to the complexities of the challenge. Now, the deepening climate crisis means that researchers around the world are in a race to create a mini-Sun here on Earth. The glittering prize is an energy source that emits no greenhouse gases and could solve energy equity and supply issues at a stroke.

Sharon Ann Holgate, a former Young Professional Physicist of the Year, tells the compelling story of the ongoing scientific quest for a revolutionary new era of green energy production.

Sleep Paralysis - The Science...

John Harpoon

Sleep paralysis is one of the most mysterious and terrifying sleep phenomena known to humankind. Those who experience it describe waking up in the middle of the night, fully aware of their surroundings but unable to move. A crushing weight on the chest, an overwhelming sense of dread, and eerie hallucinations—shadowy figures, whispers, or even demonic entities—often accompany the experience. For centuries, people have attributed these encounters to supernatural forces, from demonic attacks to alien abductions. However, modern science has begun to uncover the true nature of sleep paralysis, revealing it as a complex interplay between the brain, body, and sleep cycles.
Despite being a well-documented occurrence, sleep paralysis remains shrouded in fear and misunderstanding. Many who suffer from it have no idea what is happening to them, leading to unnecessary distress and anxiety. While some dismiss it as a mere trick of the mind, others are convinced it is something more—an unexplained bridge between the waking world and the unknown. The debate between scientific explanations and paranormal interpretations has persisted for generations, making sleep paralysis one of the most intriguing topics in both medical and supernatural studies.
Historically, cultures around the world have attempted to explain this chilling phenomenon through folklore and mythology. In Scandinavian legend, the “Mare” was an evil spirit that sat on people’s chests at night, suffocating them as they slept. In Japan, the kanashibari, meaning “bound in metal,” was believed to be the work of vengeful spirits. Similarly, in parts of Africa and the Caribbean, the experience has been linked to black magic or ancestral spirits seeking revenge. These eerie similarities across different cultures suggest that sleep paralysis has been a universal human experience, yet its interpretations have varied dramatically depending on societal beliefs.

The Chicken Raising Book -...

Hank Wilson

Welcome to Hank’s Chicken Raising Book. This book is meant for those of you who are thinking about, or have just begun, an adventure in the wide world of chickens. First though, I have to ask, why chickens? They’re such fowl creatures---sorry, about that...

So, what is this book all about? This book will answer the basic questions about chicken raising and help you get started on the right foot. It will also help you as your chicken empire grows and keep you from being plucked apart by the competitive chicken raising business. I have tried to keep this book lighthearted and while also factual and helpful, after all once you start, I don’t want you to chicken out.

I’ve designed this book to help in your research and to get you started off on the right foot. First up, I’ll talk about some of the laws you’re going to have to know related to raising chickens where you live. Then I’ll dive deeper in the question of why do you want to raise chickens? What’s the real reason. Once you know exactly why you’re raising them and what you hope to accomplish, I’ll talk about how you can decide what is the best Chicken breed or type of chicken for you? Once you know which is the bird of choice, then it’s about how to house them, after all you have to have a place to keep them. Once they’re safe, I’ll talk about feeding them, and then keeping them healthy.
