Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Apple To Utilize The "Fun Theory"

By Lee Clark


We have often heard about the saying, "Learn to like your work, and you will never have to work again." Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? If you just adore what you are doing, then exactly what seems to be a boring career could become play, by just making it more fun. The problem is, several jobs and the things that all of us do in real life just isn't entertaining so some simple thoughts setting wouldn't have the desired effect. But now, Volkswagen is utilizing a philosophy as outdated as time and taking it to an entirely new stage. And it looks like other companies tend to be catching on.

It's called the "fun theory" plus some experiments have been done to verify this business philosophy, so easy, that even a 5 yr old can relate with. And it's so down to earth; it's very incredible that it has not been fully utilized, not up to now. The idea is to make monotonous tasks, activities or even products fun and it will change people's attitude toward it.

One experiment done was to install digital cello sounds at the stairs of the sub-way besides an escalator. When someone steps on the flight associated with stairs, they can hear piano notes, and almost immediately people got interested. Before the particular experiment, there were approximately 10% - 12% of commuters selecting the escalator though only one day of the test, practically more than half of commuters wished to walk on the piano stairs. It means that when we put enjoyable into something, people's attitudes are changed for the better.

In the electronic digital and communication industry, there is hardly time for fun and jokes. Each company competing for the top area, executive making daily selections that could cost a company huge amounts of money, but product designers make it a point to put 'fun' in their products and also gadget. Ever wondered why RIM called their new pc tablet the Blackberry PlayBook? See, now you are receiving the idea, don't you?

And Apple and other sectors related to Apple are going to follow this route of fun. Some people obtain iPhone insurance because it will cover their particular smartphone from theft, reduction and even accidental damages, plus they know it's beneficial. But would putting some form of fun directly into getting some thing already essential such as insurance for iPhone increase people's attention and sales even further?

Apple is likely to join the 'fun theory' mania as well, no doubt. So don't be blown away the next gen of Apple products, iPhone insurance, iPhone case, iPhone apps and themes etc. will have a hint of making you feel you are a child once again.

Gemini Scorpio Compatibility

By Garry Chelsa


I'm a Gemini woman with a Scorpio man too... concept I'd share some insight and repay karma, as I have observed _ reading immensely helpful to understanding & growing my thus far 8mo. relationship. Let me tell you, it has been a crazy, intense, dramatic, turbulent roller coaster ride with all of the extreme highs and extreme lows!!

First thing, he is genuinely interested in you / relationship, if you've been spending that much time together and enjoying eachother's company, especially if you have already recognized every other / had a history (high school). Scorpio's just require plenty of time to digest and analyze their emotions and situations, "need a lot of space" as quite a few sites allude to, specially after these kinds of a critical move / action inside newly budding relationship. He is possibly more than thinking and more than analyzing each emotion, action, interaction, reactions, etc. from the entire situation, and since Scorp's are so emotionally deep, sometimes it takes them a whilst to rationalize and make sense of their emotions... thus the space and must disconnect at times. Don't take in it being a sign of rejection / abandonment, this really is just their nature to pull away, most men are like that but particularly more so for Scorp males. Just leave them be, and most often then not, they'll be back.

Also TRUST is of ascendant accent to Scorpio's, and he will not accessible up and allotment his accurate thoughts / affections until he trusts you (and alike afterwards he does, he still would be quiet / backstairs / mysterious! Conceivably he feels so acutely / thinks so abundant into everything, that he's at a absent for words, or cannot accurate all he feels into words, abounding times -- that's what I think!). Additionally be forewarned that Scorpio's are abominable for "TESTING" their mates -- some alarm it apperception games, some alarm it ever alert / apprehensive / arresting / actual austere guys... whatever it is, it happens, they do it whether or not they realize. They are additionally MOODY, cynical, decumbent to depression, and angry... accusation it on Pluto and Mars. I anticipate Scorps are admiring to Gems b/c we're ablaze & happy, and they're aphotic & sad... and actuality in the aphotic best of the time sucks (as you can adjure to with your bearings with him at the moment!). They additionally charge to feel powerful, and in CONTROL of situations and abnormally of his own emotions. They abhorrence to feel anemic in themselves or faculty weakness in others. His own affections are the greatest antecedent of their backbone but additionally their greatest weakness, so falling in adulation entails a little bit of accident control, and best will resent giving up some ascendancy (but additionally adulation it too, as they adulation to love, and acutely too... go figure). Also, beware of their stings! They can accept bitter remarks, aciculate tongues... abnormally if they feel angered in some way (they are VERY SENSITIVE!!! but adumbrate it beneath the guise of PRIDE and EGO!!!). Dealing with a Scorpio man, you will advance a thicker skin, a added wry faculty of humor, as able-bodied as the backbone of a saint!!! Alike if/when you get accomplished this accepted impasse... accumulate in mind, appear the ones they accept animosity for, they like to aggravate (ie. aces on / accomplish fun of) you to appearance their "playful/happy"... if annihilation else, you will absolutely abound stronger as an individual!!!

My consume on your case is that he could be falling for you, and is afraid of feeling vulnerable, b/c he does not know your intentions. Especially, don't desire to lose a friendship in your fling if that is your factor (could be what he's thinking; maybe he thinks you will be only interested in casual relationships and not anything more). He's almost certainly not one of the most expressive guy either, but being a Gemini, it is possible to wonderfully communicate your sincerity / intentions / SERIOUSNESS to make him consider safer for him to open up -- again, gaining his trust is key. B/c you guys were drinking / under the influence, perhaps he's unsure whether or not you intend it to go further. My guidance would be to text him a 'happy' msg and ask to meet up for coffee / no pressure / both of you guys comfortable public place, be pleased to see him, give him a warm friendly hug... then tell him that you incredibly significance your friendship, had a great time the other night (can add in wistfully / playfully, 'wish to experience it even though sober! b/c it would be far more meaningful, an experience i want to have with you'), and would like to see if your friendship can now grow into a relationship. In case you look into his eyes, you can see the simple fact and sense his emotions. If you don't meet up, you'll be able to text him some thing similar, towards the effect of 'Just desire to say I value your friendship. What happened another night was particular to me, even though it could were a lot more particular if I/we were sober. I don't believe in casual sex/relationships, and consider in honesty and sincerity. Getting to know you a little bit far more now, I am interested in seeing if we can develop a meaningful relationship. However, I would realize should you don't consider the same'. Ideally, you guys is going to be in individual when you have a talk similar to this, but if not, just text him something like that, and then just leave it at that. He ought to occur around in a day or few following digesting and analyzing your words. Funny factor with these guys is, even if it appears like they are ignoring you, they'll nevertheless listen... just not respond right away. And be forewarned... the mating dance with Scorp males is slooooooooooooooowwww... I like to envision a scorpion that is certainly immobile until he feels safe enough / sure there is no prey to attack their yummy innards!

Also, verify out astrologycompatibilityreport.com. There are lots of good insight into these hard Scorpio men!!! Good luck! Please update on any developments!
