EVERY day, millions of businesses and people around the world create data. This can include emails, text messages, voice recordings, photos, financial databases, online encyclopedias, social media posts and much more. While lots of data is created on a daily basis, it can be challenging to understand how this data doesn’t get corrupted. It’s important to remember that hard drives can fail, operating systems can become corrupted, and communication glitches can cause data errors and much more.

If you have recently walked into a public restroom in Michigan (USA) and heard a voice talking to you from down below, questioning whether you’ve drunk too much, don’t be too alarmed; you have not been followed in there by an angry-yet-cautious dwarf. No, instead you may have stumbled into one of many toilets which are using motion-sensitive urinal cakes in their fight against the huge number of people deciding to drink and drive.The effort hopes to get people talking about the issue of driving while intoxicated, so they become aware of their own behaviour after having had a few drinks.

It relayed a Christmas message from President Eisenhower. This satellite was in orbit for 12 days before its batteries gave out. The U.S.S.R and the United States started a space race. When their totals were combined, the countries launched 14 satellites in 1959.

For the best part of the last 30 years, super tall skyscraper “city buildings” have been envisioned and even fully planned and designed by many organisations the world over. Although none of these have yet to fully come to fruition in terms of housing permanent residents, whose every need can be met within one building – in theory meaning they would never have to leave the construction – there are a number of multi-use skyscrapers around the world that indicate what we can expect if such a building is ever built.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of such buildings, and will the increasing global population reach a point where such constructions are necessary to avoid global overcrowding?

[Guest Post] What Are The Benefits Of Organic Clothing?

The environment is stretched to its limits. Pollution is on the minds of (many of) the world's leaders. 

This has led to some industries adopting a more ecological standpoint when producing goods. While fashion hasn't always been known for its adherence to environmental issues, there are some brands who have begun to do something about it. There have been major developments in the clothing industry, with products for adults and organic children's clothing now found more frequently in stores.
