How tall are you?; How many feet per day (or per year) do you think you can grow!?

Well, whatever the answer, it cannot compete with these results about yearly rainfall over the Southern States https://www.wunderground.com/news/six-feet-rain-last-12-months-south-april2016. Just how much equals six feet? Well, that would be about two yards, or nearly two meters. In contrast , the places of the world with the most yearly rainfall average 467.4 in, which would equal something like 38.95 ft

Food Shortages vs Global Warming!?

I find this truly compelling, as I have never thought of linking climate change along with the issues of starvation, or food/water shortages. The newest releases of BrainWorld mag tells us about this as well food-system-shock-climate-changes-greatest-threat-to-civilization. I will discuss this once I learn more from the magazine, which tells about how climate change can play a role in making us less healthy as livestock will be given more antibiotics and food may contain in itself artificial growth/substances. Truly terrifying...is it not?!

Seasons of Earth; The Most Interesting Climates on Earth

This will be a post regarding the Climate of our own Earth in various countries. First we start off with America. This is a land with extremely variable climate and weather. For instance, an area that receives around 100 degrees in August may very well get tens of degrees below zero in winter. Also, the weather here can change in a jiffy.
The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes are moderate, generally have mild winters with large amounts of snow. Occasionally, however, cold fronts that sweep through here are pretty frigid compared to other places of the world that lay at even higher longitudes, despite the fact that this region is only a few hundred feet above sea level. The lakes help warm up these fronts, which can change literally within minutes, and quite dramatically
Tornado Alley
This is arguably one of the most intriguing regions in America, and perhaps the most dangerous areas on Earth are here. I have always been intrigued by all of the crazy "phenomena" that goes on here. Observing severe storms...it never seems to get old, does it? Most of the severe weather that includes tornadoes usually occurs towards the end of May in the southern states such as Kansas & OK. However, the more summer progresses, the further North the severe risk moves. Eventually, as storm systems move ever further north, they are just not able to produce the extreme conditions as seen in Tornado Alley. June is known to be really active in and around North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. IMO, These states are probably the most interesting to observe storms, and are a praradise for storm chasers...
Alaska
This is yet another example of such variable climate. For instance, last year, on the first of June, wildfires raged near Anchorage due to temperatures that soared to well above 80 degrees, or about 30 Celcius. The next day, a blizzard swept through.
Europe
NorthEastern Europe is pretty dry compared to mainland America. This is a place of extremely cold temps in winter. However, generally, the summer here takes a while to come, as June and July, and maybe even August, are akin to Spring in most of North America. That would go for the southern portions of this region, such as southern Ukraine & Poland. Northern reaches of NE Europe have a relatively short spring, which lasts roughly one month.
The rest of Europe is much like the US, except more moderate.
Russia
Russia is known to have some of the coldest areas on Earth. Also, interestingly enough, it is also the place with the most significant temperature swings between summer and winter. For instance, the far SouthEastern region of Siberia can see approximately 50 or more degrees below zero, while in the summer it generally reaches over 100. Generally, the springs here are really short. And arctic blasts during the months of November and October can be pretty intense; they will be like winter here in much of the US. Interestingly enough, it is not necessarily the Northern extremeities of this great vast territory that are at their most coldest in the winter. In fact, whenever Siberia is mentioned, it is usually just the southern territories, which experience winters that are bone chilling.
India
Spring is when the heat kicks in. Some of the worst heat waves, and definitely the most deadly on Earth, occur in India. As of right now, the temperature in some parts of India is forecast to reach or exceed 113 degrees...in April!?  In the summer, this country is known for major flooding.
Africa
Definitely the hottest continent, the birthplace of tropical systems that impact the West (where I live). Ironically, it is also the place of origin for major dusttorms. These travel all of the way to Europe, and can even make their way across the Atlantic. This is good news for European soil, as the dust acts as a fertilizer.
Australia
This is a really neat place on Earth. For one, most of this continent is a hot desert, while a very small portion is really, really wet and humid. Australia's geography is pretty interesting, as it is situated between some of the hottest and coldest regions of Earth. As a result, there can be some incredibly intense, severe storms that occur here, although they don't happen as often as, for example, America. The hot desert air clashes with some incredibly frigid air that's antarctic! As a result, some of the waters, specifically down south, are considered incredibly dangerous because of high winds, and have not even been explored as much as the lunar surface.
South America
This is a place with a serious amount of storms. Occasionally, the weather here is akin to that of tornado alley, especially in Argentina, which ironically enough, mostly desert. The Northeastern regions of South America are the most active regions on Earth in terms of the rate of lightning strikes per hour. The Grand Prize, however, would go to lake maracaibo. This is where storms rage for nearly every day of the year, and lightning occurs 250 or so days a year, at the very least, if not more like 300.
Interesting fact: Lightning aids in the growth of vegetation, helping to ionize soil

Can You Resolve This Ongoing Issue, Involving Solid Edge Assembly files, and Google Drive?!

Is there a way you can extract all when it comes to an assembly through the google so that when you open in another pc it opens as an assembly, not as individual files? Because it's giving me a whole bunch of problems I'm afraid that otherwise I will not be able to finish this last project, as I'm unable to properly open and close the files to work on them. My flash drive is still lost. I do not want to buy another one although that would be probably be my best chance. And why are all of these people piling in all of a sudden? Seriously...
Any help would be greatly welcome

The Most Amazing Footage Ever On Earth

This, IMO is the most inspiring piece of footage that you can ever find anywhere. It shows the Earth in surreal and otherworldy aspects, as it appears in IR, and sped up to show the passage of time; two of the things that are invisible to our perception. https://vimeo.com/60233275

A Song About My State

Hi. I'm from The State of Mind, and this is a neat song about the state that I live in and that much of my friends come from  http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/04/the_accidentals_new_song_shoul.html

The Truth Behind It All

The truth is such that, first of all, someone was deleted off of the Cloud. I've been watching "The Last Alaskans" on discovery. I consider the Davis family as really clever. And then, a while later, here's what happened. What do you know? I got notified from someone. And that's the problem; I don't know who that someone is. I suppose it could've been someone from the show, and honestly enough, the profile picture was really attractive. As soon as I was going to write back, their profile was deleted, literally, from the Cloud. I became frustrated. I suppose that what had happened is that the person was attracted to the Sound Cloud, or the Sound Cloud was attractive to them. Either way, it is a reminder that the internet simply does not care about anything. My feelings were hurt, because I'm more of a person who likes to roam around in the "real world", not the internet. I am devastated to hear that there's a person who is attractive to The Cloud, rather than being able to communicate with that person. Truly strange, as always. I dojn't know! It looked like the lady off of the show, and I thought she was really attractive so I was going to say something and then all of a sudden it's like she's using the power of telepathy Keep this in your thoughts...

Interesting Article...Light From Cosmic Disaster Detected

This has a lot to do with finances, doesn't it?! This article is about a new discovery about our Universe. This one is involved with gravity waves. This time, it's light that's been detected from this cosmic giant, not the signal itself. nasa-detected-burst-light-might-190500486.html

"Magic Aliens"

There's a race of aliens. They're hearing varies in terms of speed and some of them even hear backwards. The manipulation of sounds by electronic means, well, "means" that one can actually identify the aliens among us, as they will hear these sounds as if they were more or less perfect. It's all about "magic", and illusions...

Best Place to Live?

My area offers some of the most interesting climates of all. As a result, this shows off some of the benefits and disadvantages of each climate, whether you were to live in Sweden, or in the tropics. Here we have four seasons, not just one or two. So, sometimes I'm compelled to ask myself...what is the best place to live? So here's a rundown of various places on Earth, much of them my faves:
1) China; This is one of those place with a very diverse range of weather, from extremely high peaks, to jungles, and some really warm yet continental climate, as well as some extremely frigid and dry desert.
2) Canada & AK. Alaska is an interesting place. Given the fact that it lies at a longitude of about 65 degrees or so, you'd probably think it's incredibly cold, at least during much of the year. Although this isn't always true, think about how the cool climate compares to that of a tropical one. Here you'd have average winter temperatures of anywhere between roughly 35 down to well below 0. And then again, there is still the annoying wind chill, which can make things crazy during a snow storm. Boat loads of snow can fall on high elevation, which result in a place that is just insane. Fall is also a bad time of year here, because the intense low pressure that prevails, causing intense winds. Despite all of this, it can be quite pleasant in summer in Alaska, even far inland. Now for Canada, it is quite a lot like Alaska. And just like AK, the west coast is a very moderate climate, yet extremely miserable nonetheless. It's simply amazing how, at a longitude of over 60 degrees, one can still find a climate in which the average winter temperature can be in the thirties. For instance, other areas of America, which are on low elevation can be much, much colder than this and they are at a mere 40 or so degrees longitude!
3) The tropics; Would you rather live in a cold climate, or one which is hot and humid? The tropics offer up some terrifying snakes and spiders, and insects. And they're also home to some truly bad diseases.
The verdict?
Each climate has it's benefits/cons. IMO, there is no clear winner. In a place like Alaska, there are no insects for the most part. However, you need to keep in mind the fact that the territories out there make it really tough during much of the year. And the tropics, they are really wet and muddy for the most part. And in Alaska you'd probably be more than a walking distance from your neighbors, or any resources such as fuel. You don't need to worry so much about freezing or keeping things cool. Yet out there, even in a place that's not all that cold, such as Canada, it is truly terrible how cold it is. It is literally as bad as being in the desert, with the only exception that instead of it being hot it's frigid, at least some times of the year. It is still easier to hide in a winter landscape rather than in the desert such as the Sahara.
Health
Interestingly, many places that are cold are dry, just like deserts. Yet how easy is it to protect yourself from heat, rather than cold? Is it really better if you're injured out in the cold, rather than in warm? The "myth" is that cold helps ease pain. That's not always true. For one, cold is like a painkiller. It's something that can only be temporary for the now. When it comes to diseases, I would bet on a cold climate. After all, colder temps aid in immunity, especially when you sleep.
Not out of the Dark
Unfortunately, in the arctic, one usually worries about danger from animals such as bears. This may seem like a worse danger than that from insects. However, it is generally easier to defend against these things than it is from disease infested insects, even though that sounds ironic in itself.
Now in the temperate areas of the world is where the qualities of both worlds come together, yet not exactly how you would probably expect. Much of everything that shares the likes of the Arctic or the tropics is adapted to survive the seasons. So it is just not right to say that in summer, a temperate climate equals a tropical one, or in winter it is equivalent to the arctic. In fact, the plants and animals, at least a lot of them, are different in many ways. We won't talk about that here; in moderate climates, however, the weather is often far too gloomy for many. Yet these climates offer some of the most densely populated forests in the world.
More Info
The water cycle is another factor that helps determine whether cold or warm climates are preferrable. For instance, in the Arctic, or in temperate areas, the thawing and freezing of water is a serious concern. It can cause ice buildup, which can result in downed wires as well as rupture pipes. Meanwhile, the temperature changes associated with temperate climate can be a serious threat, even in summer. These changes can sporadically cause intense low pressure, akin to that of hurricane season. However, hurricanes are caused mainly by warmth, whereas severe weather is less abundant here on Earth, and the winds have potential to be more potent. And this brings us to an interesting point. Because while we're on the topic of water, you need to remember that in temperate climates, and the tropics especially, there can be more flooding. We are still a far ways away from determining where our resting place will be. Yet there is still another place I'd like to think about, and which I assume is the answer to "Where is the best place on Earth?"
And that answer I will guess would go to somewhere on high elevation. Why? At high elevation, many of these risks are mitigated, or eliminated as a matter of fact. We are still left with the problems of severe wind, frigid conditions, and perhaps there is something I haven't mentioned. The Himalayas are one of the most interesting places for me to live someday; Why? Well because it's "up there somewhere", that is, it's more or less devoid of air, because it's breathtaking you know. And see, that's a place I've never been to. Somewhere where the air is thin. I mean, I'd like to take some time and stay up there for awhile. What are the health benefits from being up there? I suppose the only way to know for sure would be to actually stay there for years. And better yet, get up every morning and jog around for 20 miles or more. See, the lack of air can be a problem and well, a goo thing. After all, high elevation supplies us with cleaner air. The particulates up there are more sporadic (if you ask me, that is). And it's not just the air that's cleaner, but also the water. How would it affect health to drink super pure water for an extended amount of time. For example, the water you drink, even if it does come from somewhere other than urban, could have (for sake of example) 43 PPM, while the water from the Himalayas, or some other mountain chain, could be a mere 5 PPM. And yet the lack of vitamins, minerals, etc. in that water, when it comes from the mountains, is practically negligible; Why? Well, it's true we need a daily amount of such things to keep us running. Yet, if you were to constantly drink ultra clean water every day for an extensive amount of time, then guess what? Something "magic" might just happen. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not a scientist when it comes to these matters. However, this is just my theory on how things work. So, back to the topic; the water would start to drain away nutrients away. Yes, that's right. However, there is always a silver lining to everything, is there not? After all, it is a scientifically documented phenomenon how we are able to adapt over time, and evolve. So then why could we eventually evolve, and then our digestive system would then be able to prevent the draining of nutrients away from our system? I mean, it could learn over time what is good for us and what is not. Then when we get back "down to the ground", or just to lower elevations, we may start eating healthy foods which we might not have had access to in the mountains, and we would then be "programmed" to have access to more nutrients than we would have otherwise. We would now be able to accept more vitamins, minerals, etc. to aid in vitality. And I assume living in Himalayan country would also help you age more slowly. However, that is mere speculation.
So, although we haven't really been able to answer any questions posted in this post, it still ceases not to leave us with a sense of wonder and perhaps all of this you will find inspiring down the path.

Creating the Most Interesting Music, The Likes of Which Earth Has Never Seen Before

How does one create music? Well, let's think about that today. Some of the most interesting music, or rather, sound, can be created by using the feature in Audacity known as Paulstretch. Once you use this feature, you can manipulate the sound further to enhance the quality, or just to make it more appealing. What are the best settings to use? It seems to me as though what works best is setting the 1st setting to 10, followed by about 15. After you've done so, you may want to use a low/high pass filter and tweak the settings. I recently discovered that the reverb works really well. It's not clear to me whether you could recreate the effect using specialized equipment, such as a synth. Even so, however, this option lets you work for free. And even if you use a song that's not yours, no one has to know. In fact, they won't anyhow, if judging just by the final product you've created. Figuring it out would be like playing the lottery. So, given the fact that there are so many songs out nowadays, I have an extreme amount of creativity working with the qualities of audio. Andthis technique that I've just described can result in magically sounding audio. I, for one, have never heard anything like it before. It's as if I'm floating into another realm. You may have heard the music I've made using this technique before. If not, you can follow these links here Personal Fav
What tunes can you produce with this program?Any suggestions on songs to manipulate?

The Enchanting Music of A New Era

Welcome back. https://soundcloud.com/macm545
I have recreated it, the surreal, using audio...
Hi, how's it going. It's been snowy here recently, snowing all day that is. Anyways, that's April for Michigan. And if you're from the south, you may think about this month as really warm. Yet here it can differ A LOT between the years. It's supposed to be 15 degrees by night here pretty soon. Let's see how this compares to recent years. Back in 2014, the month of April brought similar weather, and in March of that year it was around 20 degrees in the mornings. Let's look back a little bit further, and this time let's think about only one year earlier. That time, it was a lot like June, and the temperatures were in the seventies for much of March. After the middle of the month, temps soared into the eighties. Makes me wonder if it'll ever be a lot warmer in summer. yet, the rapid changes of weather during spring is what keeps things interesting. Once it gets to a certain temperature in June, it stays that way. Or cooler.
