Scavengers Simplicity
Catori made her resting place away from the others in the Scavenger group, after declining the invitation to stay by the fire. She felt this small room would help hold some warmth while giving her a sense of privacy. Anxiety was constant life battle for Catori, but she had learned to cope with it. She knew that being with the others could help lessen the anxiety she was feeling, but she believed that was her burden, and she did not wish to burden to them. In her previous life when her mind and the weather became stormy, she would have curled up with a book and a cup of coffee. She would lose herself for hours in those pages while sipping the full and flavorful drink. She had always been more of an introvert and the twenty-year Ice Age had done little to coax her from that shell.

The Book of Possibility
There was once a man who journeyed throughout the world in search of a little black notebook. It was said to contain wisdom beyond man’s wildest dreams. This man’s name was Neon. He was a physicist who spent most of his days in a laboratory or out in nature, trying to figure out the secrets of the universe. As he was growing up, he had heard stories of a mysterious little notebook. The tales he had heard said that this notebook had no author. No one knew the true origins of the book. Some speculated that it may have entered into our dimension through a stargate.

Crappy Artifacts
Coprolite: a piece of fossilized dung Of all the data used by scientists who study the past, coprolites are by far the crappiest. They also happen to be my favorite. Archaeologists, paleoanthropologists, and paleontologists all use these natural time capsules in their investigations. At first glance, coprolites may seem a miniscule artifact. They tell us what the creator of that deposit was eating. Ok. We can assume that information from context clues, like what plants were native to a certain area at a certain point in time. But the specific diets of dinosaurs, pre-human and early human ancestors, and genetically modern humans continue to surprise and delight the people who study each of those groups as well as everyday people.

Neanderthal
It was cold. Very cold, even for that time of year. Olnuk tossed another knot of wood on the fire and then dove back into his pile of hides. No matter what he did it seemed that some part of his body was exposed to cold air. Right now there was a breeze running up his leg freezing his left buttock. He had no word for buttock of course, he just knew that now his bottom was cold.

What Makes Us Humans?
You will find numerous theories in what makes us human - several of which can be interconnected or related. The topic of people's existence has been pondered for a large number of years. Ancient Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle all theorized concerning the nature of people's presence, as have countless philosophers since.

How to Save the World
MACRO -VS- MICRO - If you read my article "Leveling Up Part 2 - Darwin was Wrong", you know what I think about his theory (if you haven't read it, now would be a good time). You also may have read about what I call "the Great Umph", a purposeful and intentional shift of consciousness that results in an evolutionary shift on the "macro" level. Where in Micro-evolution the species uses changes in the genetic makeup to create variations within the species, Macro-evolution results in the formation of a new species.

How The Cane Replaced The Sword in Everyday Carry
When was the last time you saw someone just walking down the street, a sword at their hip? For most of us this is not something we see outside of historical reenactments, officers' balls, or particularly large conventions dedicated to comic books and roleplaying games. However, there was a time when belting on a sword was just something you did when you stepped out your door... it was as much a status symbol as it was a sign that you were not someone to be messed with.

Military Ground Vehicle Propulsion System Market Trends, Key Makers and Competitive Analysis 2019-2030
Various types of batteries (lead-acid, nickel-cadmium or iron-nickel Edison cells) present in the vehicles are found to be too heavy and have failed to store the energy required to produce the desired power-levelling effect. One way to reach the goal is to develop the electric motor at about the same size as it is in an internal combustion engine (ICE)-based military vehicle or to have a large battery pack with enough energy storage for the longest anticipated maneuver. Various OEMs are majorly investing in the electric vehicle development programs through partnerships to increase the energy density with improved battery life and hence retain the market share in the industry.
