There are so many ideas in the world. It's hard to tell which ones are original and which aren't. What dictates if an idea will be original or maybe even more importantly if it will be impactful and popular to those whom it affects? Who knows? The sheer number of ideas in this world makes it hard to determine the answer to this problem. This is probably why I don't think so highly of my own ideas.My ideas are just one of a trillion.A grain of sand on the shore of a beach that represents the magnitude of stars in the sky.In fact they're so relatively small that it may seem as if my few Ideas are no different from any other...and to that I would say it is true.But I must state a largely known fact: An Idea is a system without form until sentience finds it amongst the endless and expansive throes of existence.If you(the reader) do not know this as fact or had not known this as a fact it does not change the minuscule existence of ONE Idea among many.However, I stated this fact to point out that this makes EVERY Idea unique within and amongst itself and others. Because it's ORIGIN and CREATION can be one and the same along with their results but just as among life, just one comeuppance in it's being makes it different from anything else in the universe. CHANGE makes an Idea unique, something only TIME itself can grant.Is this all confusing? It should be, since it's just the ramblings in the head of little ole me, someone who exists amongst billions of others just wondering the world away...I like to live in the moment and forget the past but that makes me solely a creature of desire so I guess I'll write something on here as often as I can to make sure I don't lose what makes me as unique as any other.Nemo-just one in a trillion…

Although people go about their day as they always do, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, another world lives within it unseen. It's the Afterlife; the place people go to once their time in the Mortal Realm is done. Kyra Averell works in the Afterlife as a Reaper. She's been there since the beginning of time and has guided people into the next plane of existence. For centuries, she's worked with the Greek underworld system and Summoned the people on the List (provided by Hades himself) - the believers of Greek myths, Gods and legends. And for centuries the world's stayed in balance as souls moved on, without a hitch (mostly.) That's until the name of Mason Greenwood appears on her List.Thinking nothing of it, Kyra does her job as she's always had, but then a discovery is made - the Summoned Mason is not the correct one. He's a mistake, and this simple error tips the delicate scales on which the world sits. As Kyra's unable to restore his soul back into his body, it being beyond the limits of her powers, Hade's instructs her to await his return, while he deals with his temper-tantrum throwing brother Zeus in Olympus.Reluctantly (not that she had much of a choice), Kyra is relieved from her duties as a Reaper and has to take care of Mason while keeping their mistake under wraps. And although all beings in the Afterlife follow the rules of cosmos, the beauty of humanity is, it doesn't. Humans are impulsive (sometimes more than Gods), and Mason pulls Kyra into his scheme of finding out the truth themselves. Together they'll travel through the Afterlife, meet Gods and nymphs and Titans, and maybe, after millions of years of Summoning souls and bringing them into the Afterlife, Kyra Averell, the embodiment of death, just might figure out what it is to truly live and be human.…

I hadn't met a Jedi before. This one was a bit disappointing. I thought they were taller. Said his name was 'Master Yuda' or something like that, in height he was probably only about the size of a youngling, maybe even smaller. But he was a hell of a lot older. And green. I think he must've hit his head some time ago because he talked all backward. "Dispatched in 48 hours, you will be. To Tatooine, your gunship will take you, and under the command of Jedi General Dorn your regiment will be placed." I missed a lot of what he said, either because I was trying to decode what he was going on about (I mean, who even talks like that anyway?) or because I had to keep on telling CT-9814 to STOP POKING ME WITH HIS BLASTER. Brothers we may be, but sometimes I just want to hit him over the head with a Z-6. I managed to get Timebomb to fill me in on the way back to our lockers. We're going to Tatooine, which is a sand planet (I HATE sand) in the Outer Rim, legendary amongst civilians for its crime boss owner and the hive of Bounty Hunters he established decades ago. Sounds like a very nice holiday destination. I'm sure it's even more pleasant with the army of droids roaming around there now. Our mission is to fly in and scrap the clankers. AGAIN. But according to Timebomb it's gonna be different this time. There's supposed to be hundreds, maybe even thousands of them, all battle-ready and experienced from wiping out the wave of Clones that were sent out before us. At least we'll have the 501st by our side. Now THAT is what I call legendary- the 501st Battalion. I know I shouldn't... but I'm looking forward to it.…

Foreword:This story is a retelling of an ongoing Pokémon D&D campaign created and run by a friend of mine and played by a small group of four, myself included. I'd originally taken up documenting each session for the amusement of myself and everyone else in the group. However, I think it's gotten to a level where others may enjoy it as well. So without further ado, I present the Poké Hunters Saga.Overview:The newly discovered island region of Uphora is a vast and widely untouched land with a range of exotic new and familiar Pokémon. Researchers and adventurers from all over flock to the region in hopes of uncovering its many ancient secrets. However, an ex military organization has other plans for Uphora and their increased presence has left many leaders concerned. Meanwhile, local encounters with unfriendly Pokémon have become more common and rumors begin to spread on the existence of Pokémon deeper inland, with dark, twisted personalities and a tendency to kill on sight. As harsh storms strike the island's coasts and a general sense of unease sets in, the future of the island and its new inhabitants hangs precariously in the balance.This is the world that three young aspiring trainers now set out to conquer, each for their own foolish reasons...…

Do you use air conditioning to cool your house or a furnace to heat it? Have you ever baked banana bread? Or boiled water for tea? Then you've used thermal energy. It is the heat (or cold) used to produce something. Thermal emissions include the greenhouse gases released from the processes of heating and cooling.But let's think bigger. The device you're using to read this article was made using thermal energy. The machines that made the clothes you wear were forged with thermal energy. The processes to make the clothes themselves needed considerable use of thermal energy. Even the food you eat was produced, processed, and prepared with thermal energy.Industrial thermal emissions are the greenhouse gas emissions emitted from each of these industrial processes-and the many, many more that produce all the things we use every day. It's these industrial thermal energy emissions that represent one of the greatest climate challenges you've probably never heard of. Here are four things you need to know about them and what WWF is doing to tackle this challenge.How big a challenge are thermal emissions?Industrial thermal energy creates 11% of greenhouse gas pollution in the United States. This is the next largest source behind transportation and electricity and more than the entire US agricultural sector. Globally, energy used for heating and cooling is 50% of final energy use and contributes 39% of greenhouse gas emissions from energy-related sources. Without addressing these industrial t…
