Stephanie Kwolek was a woman inventor, which she found a happy accident of science, that proved to be more monumental than others. She was working at DuPont for a synthetic fiber to use for tires. Instead she made a mistake by noticing one mixture of a polymer, and a solvent, that looks different from the rest. She got curious and made a follow-up on her observation. Her formula turned into fiber, which is now stronger than steel. She called it Kevlar. It is now used for bulletproof vests, and body armors to save lives. She died on June 18, 2014. She was 90 years old. R.I.P. Stephanie Kwolek

My Favorite Disney Movie As A Kid Was…
My favorite Disney movie as a kid was Pinocchio, because it was about a puppet wanting to be a real boy. I have loved many Disney movies as a child. I also loved watching Peter Pan most of the time. The only movie that stuck to my mind as a child was Pinocchio. There was so much to learn as a kid of not doing the wrong things, and not joining bad crowds in real life from this movie. This was a tale about a boy puppet that came to life getting into all sorts of trouble, but ends up saving his creator from a violent whale. You see Pinocchio trying to please his master, but his master wants him to care for him, as well. It is a tale of innocence. If I got the chance to see it again I would. Even if it is a child’s movie. The characters are colorful in so many ways. I loved it, because it was a movie at a time where I needed to understand how the world is. Another thing was I grew up with this film. It has a special place in my heart, even if it is fiction. Peter Pan was another movie, but it was all only for fun for me. It was about a young boy who never wanted to grow up, and he never did. The story doesn’t end there. He fights Captain Hook to save the lost boys. The ending was that he brought Wendy, and her two brothers back home. It was exciting and fun to watch these colorful characters as a child. These two movies were fun for me to watch as a child.
Live In The Present, But Not In The Past
How many times did your family told you not to live in the past? They want you to live in the present. Some people have real problems trying to live in the present, then most of them. Maybe, their pasts does have an effect on them. If you keep thinking about the past, then you’ll be always remembered as the person who has never lived a positive life. Some past memories of us does have heartaches on us, but we can erase them. One thing you should do is focus on today, and forget about the past. Those people who have caused you harm, probably have different lives. You can’t go into details of wanting to find out why they did it. Leave all the bad past memories behind you, and start new again. Your friends don’t want to go out with you with a past mind. The way the mind works is to truly forget and erase anything that is bothering you. Maybe, those people have changed, or some are still living difficult lives. Pick up on something to entertain you, like for example movies. Don’t take anything personal. Focus on the present, and leave your gloomy mind behind. It’s one thing to enjoy today’s life, rather than moping around about it. People want other people to enjoy life the way it should by staying in the present. Another thing if you want to talk about entertainment talk about today’s. Stick to focusing in the present, and I assure you that you won’t be sad. Anyway, our pasts are erased entirely.
Cosmic Masquerade
Scientists proclaimed they found a planet outside of our solar system, maybe in the Goldilocks Zone. It is not a real planet, but a cosmic masquerade. It isn’t too hot, and not too cold for life. Astronomers thought were two planets there, turned out to be those magnetic outburst from a local star. In the habitable Goldilocks Zone are still about other 20 planets out there.

Battle: Batman vs. Superman
We have no idea who is going to win the battle between Superman and Batman. Most of you could easily say that Superman will win, or that Batman will win. However, these two superheroes will face against each other in the new Batman vs, Superman movie, which will be coming out some time in some year. I like both of them, because they represent for the good of justice. I bet if this movie comes out it will have high ratings, and most people would want to go see it. I have heard that next year it will be coming out. I want to see it as well, too. It may appear that a cameo of the Joker will appear in it. It scratches out to think that us too are much interested in the Joker. However, there will be a main villain in the film. Decide which superhero you think will win against each other. Will it be Batman, or will it be Superman? It’s your choice. But, you can only root for only one. Choose one of the two superheroes, and next year see the movie of who will win the fight against each other. You may comment by telling me who you think will win, and why.

There Is A God In You
We know that God is in us all, but not the God that some people think. It is a God that gives good advice, and tells you what’s right and wrong. Some of us don’t want to listen to our families, which is God doing you favors. We talk about how things are, and for our children not to do it again. Some teens, and adults don’t realize that our inner God is the one from preventing horrendous mistakes that could cost your life. We see God from the outside, not from the inside of us. Some young adults listen to us, and God has finally set them straight. We give special advises to the young people, because we have God in us. Your conscience is God. Your conscience tells you what’s right and wrong. However, we hear from God in any way we should take his advice. There are some people who don’t take our advice from God, and end up paying for it. Your parents have an inner God in them. So, it is better to pay attention to them. Listen to your friends, and families from the God in them, so you can make the right choices. Listen to the God in you, also.
