Are we alone in the universe?
The one question that fascinates me more than any other. And my perspectives are these.
The sheer complexity of biological forms makes me think that the evolution of intelligent life forms (such as humans) is likely to be a rather sparse occurrence. There will be many Earth-like planets … perhaps at least millions in the outer arms of the Milky Way revolving around stars like the Sun that the Earth revolves around. But the temperatures have to be just right for water to be plentiful in all three states. What were the stuff available in the early Earth that created the conditions that led to the emergence of primitive life forms? A planet with a lot of volcanic activity, lot of carbon-based complex organic molecules, a planet with continental plates slowly drifting, pushing, merging, separating, rising, and falling, lots of lightning, etc. How many planets will have all these enablers? Reduces the candidate planets to perhaps thousands.
Then on planet Earth, unicellular life evolved to more complex life forms only after billions of years of some sort of a hiatus … who knows why that hiatus happened and why suddenly there was a sudden explosion … the Cambrian Explosion. Is there a guarantee that life once started will inexorably flourish? Life could stutter and sputter for billions of years without reaching the next stage … or indeed, it could wither and die. So, how many planets in the Milky Way galaxy would see life exploding in all its diversity as it did here on Earth?
Even when life explodes in all its richness, it can lead to reptiles or birds or fish … would dinosaurs have ever evolved to some higher states of intelligence? Could dinosaurs have ever created a technological civilization like us humans? Some fortuitous event on planet Earth led to the extinction of the dinosaurs which enabled tiny mammals to get out from their hiding places and start to roam the wide open spaces.
Lastly, is there any inevitability that mammalian evolution will lead to intelligent creatures? Can't mammals just end up being cows and horses and monkeys and zebras … a planet Earth with all the creatures … just without the humans.
All these fortuitous circumstances dramatically and drastically reduce the likelihood that there are intelligent beings elsewhere in the Milky Way. Of course, Milky Way is only our home galaxy and the visible universe is teeming with billions of them. So, even if there were to be just us in our galaxy, that would imply billions of planets in the universe teeming with life … an awesome prospect indeed.
That raises the next question — why have not we been visited by extraterrestrials then? Perhaps because of the distances. What about finding E.T. using radio telescopes? That endeavor of course goes on … started half a century ago which is less than the blink of an eye in cosmic scales. I hope something comes out of that endeavor … and what a time it will be when finally we do get definitive evidence of life elsewhere. What sort of life will it be? How much more advanced than us? What will we learn? What will they have to teach us? Should we be 'careful' lest these creatures bear 'evil' intensions and try to destroy humanity? Bewildering and intriguing questions all …
When is this mystery going to get resolved? I hope to live to find an answer but somehow I think the chances are low. Perhaps we need to focus our efforts on galaxies where there is greater probability of the presence of life — galaxies which should be teeming with second and third generation stars and therefore lots of carbon and oxygen and other building blocks of life. Is our Milky Way such a galaxy? What about Andromeda, our neighbor? What about the Local Group? And yet, what will happen even if we detect life after all … I think we'll still need to go through the phases that we have to go through … whatever phase humanity is in right now … adolescence, childhood, whatever … humanity will have to grow up at its pace and make the mistakes that it has to.
So that raises the question: is humanity fundamentally capable of being a space-faring civilization? Are there fundamental limits to how far humans can grow? Is our intellect and intelligence capable of designing in time the spaceships that will fly close to the speed of life and ferry us to other stars and other galaxies which will require even more ingenious ways of space travel. When is it going to happen — when will humans colonize ten habitable planets in the galaxy? And is it inevitable?
This is a strange time to be alive indeed. I remember Carl Sagan saying that his time was the greatest time to be alive. Yet he wished to see certain things happen in his life and perhaps those things did not happen. I for one am very confused about this — whether to be glad that I live in a time of radio telescopes and Hubble and Chandra or be sad that I am not living a thousand years from now when many more of nature's mysteries would have been resolved.
Reflect for a moment about our place in the universe and the epoch we live in — a universe that is roughly 13.7 billion years old. A galaxy that is some ten billion years old. A star that has shined for five billion years. A planet that has been revolving for almost as long. And us humans have called that planet 'home' for the last million years at the most. Humans are such a mystery. Who would have thought if they had visited Earth a million years ago and saw our forebears hunting in the forests that one day these animals would go on to design and fly rockets, would learn to travel to other planets, would learn to design microscopes that can stare at individual atoms, design radio telescopes that are sensitive enough to detect signals that have travelled for ten billion years through the vastness of space, design detectors to take a snapshot of the Big Bang itself — the Microwave Background Radiation.
And yet what gives pause is our equally stupendous propensity to self-destruct — with nuclear weapons.

President Barack Obama is truly the hip-hop generation's first President. One day before announcing the death of Osama Bin Laden, the President name dropped Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. during his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner and also referenced Ol' Dirty Bastard during a video shown at the dinner.
President Obama's speech at the White House Correspondents dinner made headlines for its relentless roasting of Donald Trump, who President Obama silenced earlier in the week after releasing his birth certificate, proving that he was born on American soil.
"Donald Trump is here. I know he's taken some flack recently, but no one is more ready to put the birther issue to rest than the Donald," President Obama said. "So he can focus real issues at hand facing America, like 'Did we really land on the moon?' 'What really happened in Roswell?' And, 'Where are Biggie and Tupac?'"
During a video, which poked fun at Vice President Joe Biden, Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" was used as background music.
President Obama's speech was widely praised for its lightheartedness, which included the President releasing his "birth video" which turned out to be a scene from Disney's The Lion King, and the video introduction which featured the President's birth certificate flashing on the screen while Rick Derringer's "Real American" (aka Hulk Hogan's theme music) played.

Round 2 Update from HBS Admissions
On Friday, Harvard Business School's director of MBA admissions, Dee Leopold, shared the following details regarding Round 2 interview invitations:
- Interview invitations will go out in two waves: January 27 and February 3
- All candidates not being invited to interview will receive notice of their "release" on February 3
- All 2+2 candidates will receive an invitation or be released on February 3
- Interviews will take place between February 11 and March 4
- Campus Interview Days will offer opportunities for class visits, student and faculty panels, and campus tours
- Hub cities this round are:
- London, Paris, Mumbai, Dubai, Tokyo, Menlo Park, and NYC
Our advice here at Stacy Blackman Consulting for anyone interviewing at Harvard Business School is this:
As you prepare for your interview, one of the most important tips to remember is to sound natural—not scripted—during the exchange. Instead of trying to remember and include every last one of your memorized bullet points, focus on succinctly answering only the question at hand.
If you can get from point A to point B in a clear, logical way; maintain an open, friendly, and professional demeanor; dress appropriately; and have an inquisitive attitude about the school and all it has to offer students, you stand a very good chance of coming out of the interview with flying colors.
Good luck, HBS applicants!

Accusation of Corruption in Favor of Time Warner Cable in North Carolina General Assembly
Veteran North Carolina legislator Rober Brawley resigned as Chairman of the state Finance Committee, reports local WRAL. According to WRAL's @NCCapitol blog, the Republican from Iredall read his resignation letter during a recent floor debate. He criticized Speaker of the House Thom Tillis, questioning Tillis' ethics and accusing him of special legislative favors specifically for Time Warner Cable.
One bone of contention was a bill introduced by Brawley to expand the service area for the municipal cable network MI-Connection in Mooresville. From the letter as quoted in the article:
"You slamming my office door shut, standing in front of me and stating that you have a business relationship with Time Warner," Brawley wrote. "MI Connections is being operated just as any other free enterprise system and should be allowed to do so without the restrictions placed on them by the proponents of Time Warner."
Stop the Cap covered the background of that bill in its article about this accusation:
House Bill 557, introduced by Brawley, would have permitted an exception under state law for the community-owned MI Connection cable system to expand its area of service to include economic development sites, public safety facilities, governmental facilities, and schools and colleges located in and near the city of Statesville. It would also allow the provider to extend service based on the approval of the Board of County Commissioners and, with respect to schools, the Iredell County School Board.
In 2010 - 2011, Tillis received $37,000 from the telecommunications industry including a $1,000 contribution each from AT&T, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon. At the time of the contribution, Tillis had already won an election in which he ran unopposed and session was just about to start. He is a darling of ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council which exists to help corporations rewrite state laws in their favor.
Shortly thereafter, lawmakers passed HB 129 and created insurmountable barriers for local communities interested in building publicly owned telecommunications networks. Other Republican lawmakers who supported the bill received significant contributions from the same clique. We now know Tillis is willing to honor his "business relationships."
Brawley is no stranger to controversy. He introduced a bill this session that would have eased many ethics reforms passed in recent years. Included in the proposed changes was a repeal on a ban of gifts from lobbyists and relaxing requirements that lobbyists disclose those gifts. Earlier this year, Brawley stated to an @NCCapitol reporter:
"I believe in the integrity of people, including legislators and, in over 30 years of serious involvement, have not seen any situation that these [ethics] laws would have prevented or improved."
For those of us who have watched the way Time Warner Cable and others have corrupted the political process in many states, these allegations come as no surprise but are noteworthy for who is making them and the specific allegation of a "business relationship" between Time Warner Cable and the Speaker of the House.

Your dog is very much like you. It has emotions, and occasionally, it feels edgy and faces stress. Stress in dogs can arise from many different situations. A change in environment, a new job with long hours that's keeping you away from your pet longer, a new addition to the family, loud noises, or an upcoming trip are all factors that could make your pooch tense. The easiest way to tell your dog is stressed out is a behavior change. Some dogs will get hyperactive, become aggressive, or even bark excessively. Others may hide and become timid.
CBD dog treats are a great way to reward your dog and help them remain calm as they adjust to its new environment. When buying CBD treats for your dog, you want to take as much precaution as if you were buying your own CBD products and get as much information as possible.
Benefits Of CBD Calming Treats For Your Dog
CBD treats for pets have been around for a while and are becoming increasingly popular to promote wellness. The treats can support your canine friend's health in several ways, and many pet owners have reported positive benefits for their pets. What's more, the treats are a great way of rewarding your dog with additional wellness benefits.
Stress Support
Just like humans, dogs can face difficult situations that cause stress. These episodes of stress can be caused by loud bangs, fireworks, thunderstorms, or changes in their environment or routine.
CBD might provide stress support and help provide a sense of tranquillity for your dog and help it feel more at ease. The treats help with relaxation and provide some natural mood support for hyperactive pets to keep them calm and centered.
Helps With Mobility
As your dog gets older, you'll notice they move less freely. They may not be as enthusiastic about their daily walks and may struggle to climb the stairs in your home. Pet parents often seek out CBD because, besides keeping the dog calm, it also provides joint and mobility support and helps encourage better mobility by supporting bone health.
Everyday Wellness
Research into CBD is still in its infancy. But preliminary studies and anecdotal reports indicate that CBD's positive influence on the body's systems promotes balance in the body. By encouraging a sense of homeostasis, CBD may be able to help optimize a long list of processes in the body, helping your dog feel and function better.
Buying The Best Cbd Dog Treats
The market for CBD dog treats has grown drastically in recent years. But like everything else, CBD dog treats are not made equal. You need to take your time to find the best quality options that are safe and will deliver the best results. Some of the factors you should consider when buying calming CBD treats for your pet include the following:
Organic Ingredients
CBD treats containing organic ingredients will cost you more but are also safer for your pet. Organic ingredients are not grown using pesticides and herbicides, which might affect your pet. When looking at the ingredients, look for coconut oil, full-spectrum or broad-spectrum oil, and other high-quality ingredients.
Where possible, avoid treats that contain chemical ingredients. In many cases, you can tell if the ingredient is hard to pronounce. Also, look for non-allergic ingredients.
Avoid treats that have fillers. They lower the quality of the product and add harmful chemicals that might affect your dog's system.
Treat Texture
Dog treats will come in various textures. Although the texture won't determine the effectiveness of the treat, it will determine if your dog loves it. Some of the treats may crumble like biscuits, while others are chewy and others are crunchy. You can choose the texture that works best for your pet. At Koi CBD, we find that crumble CBD dog treats have a more satisfying texture, and they are easier on the dog's teeth because they don't stick.
Cbd Potency
The CBD concentration in your CBD dog treats will play a role in their effectiveness. Dog CBD treats need to be strong enough, but still appropriate for your dog's size. The highest potency doesn't always mean it's the best. You need to consider the reasons why your pet needs CBD to help you settle on the best CBD potency. If you're merely trying to help your pup relax, a smaller serving of CBD may work, but if the dog has other more serious issues, you might need something stronger.
Third-Party Test Results
Dog CBD treats work well when they're well-made with premium CBD and other high-quality ingredients. The only way you can tell the treats contain what's on the label is through the third-party lab test results. The tests have become an industry standard that all leading and quality brands use to ensure the potency and purity of their products. The best brands have the lab reports readily available, and the ingredients of the dog treats are laid out.
The lab results include screens for herbicides and heavy metals, to ensure the products are free of any harmful toxins. They'll also provide you with an accurate CBD composition, so you know precisely how much CBD is in your dog's treat.
Common Questions About CBD Dog Treats
When is the best time to give your dog CBD dog treats?
The best time to give your dog our calming CBD dog treats is 15-30 minutes before their stressful encounter. If you've chosen to make the treats a regular part of your dog's diet, you should consider giving them to the dog at the same time, day or at night. You can experiment with the time to find one that has the best effects for your pup.
How long do the calming CBD dog treat effects last?
Based on observations and reports from other pet parents that have tried our calming CBD treats for dogs, the effects can last somewhere between 6-10 hours. The effects can last longer for some dogs, and for others, they can last less.
How long will it take for the effects to kick in?
On average, your dog will start showing signs of calm in about 30 minutes after taking the CBD treats. But like people, each dog has a unique metabolic system, and the exact time it will take to notice the effects will vary.
Can my dog overdose on CBD?
CBD is generally well tolerated by dogs, even in high amounts. Your dog can consume too much, so you want to make sure to keep the product out of reach. However, giving your dog more than the recommended serving doesn't qualify as an "overdose" because CBD has low toxicity. There's not enough research to show whether too much CBD would be seriously harmful to your pet, but if you follow the recommended dosage guidelines, you can rest assured you will be very far from reaching that point.
Will CBD make my dog high?
Your dog will not show any psychoactive effects after taking Koi CBD dog treats. That's because CBD doesn't have any psychoactive properties, and our full-spectrum CBD extract contains no more than 0.3% THC.

February 2003
I had been inside Married Matt's house before – several times, in fact. Now, though, I looked at the place differently because his wife was expecting. Now the perfect couple in the perfect home with the perfect dog would soon have the perfect child who would sleep all through the night in the perfectly-accessorized Pottery Barn Kids nursery. Can you feel the nausea setting in? I know – and I'm not even the one experiencing morning sickness.
I thought Married Matt and Katie had this great marriage. And, for almost three years, I had done a fairly good job of convincing myself that what Matt and I were doing had no bearing on his other life, his real life. Matt and Katie had a marriage. He and I hung out. They had a commitment. He and I were friends who had great sex. Since I never wanted what they had, I continued to justify in my slightly warped head that this whole affair was okay.
All that changed when I was in this house last week. We were having sex, and rather than being 100% focused on that, I kept looking up at the Baby Name Book up on the nightstand. I couldn't remain emotionally detached from this situation any longer.
After we were finished, Married Matt fell asleep. But my brain – or was it my guilt? – wouldn't let me get any rest. I couldn't stop thinking about the baby-to-be. I saw Matt differently. I looked at us differently. My girlfriend's words from a few weeks ago echoed in my head:
"How would you feel if you found out that your Dad was cheating on your Mom when you were conceived?"
She's right; I know it wouldn't matter who Dad was cheating on Mom with or whether that woman wanted to split my parents up. All that would matter was the act of cheating itself.
I didn't want to wake Married Matt up so I went downstairs in the basement, and just cried and cried. To make matters worse, there were photos of his wedding day and framed love blessings everywhere I turned. (I mean, come on, who the heck has wedding photos in their bathrooms?) I was freaking out already and that just made everything worse.
While looking around at this seemingly beautiful home, it started to bother me that I was the only party who couldn't sleep. Why was I the only one who was remotely affected by a conscience? Why was I the only one who was thinking of how to get out of this since a child was on the way?
I guess that's the benefit of living in such a perfect world. There's nothing wrong on the surface, and nothing to be afraid of, and no one ever has to have any real problems. Oh, except the fact that Perfect Married Matt is cheating on his Perfect Wife. Perfect, huh?

Imagine if you had invested in Bitcoin in 2012. Just five years ago, the price of Bitcoin was $10.50. Today, it's worth $2600. A small $10,000 investment would have turned into $2.5 Million dollars today. That's probably more than what you made throughout working your whole life.
The same story is true with Ethereum. In 2014, prices were as low as $0.40 per Ether. Today, it is worth $350. A small investment would've also made you a millionaire.
Now, you can't go back and buy Bitcoin in 2012, or Ethereum in 2014. But you can look at the pattern and look at the patterns to see what works. There are hundreds of crypto projects with the same massive gains. There are patterns. We'd be stupid not to notice by now. Clearly, the key is to buy into promising, innovative, popular projects early before they go mainstream.
Mobile Market
The mobile market is growing huge. More than half of all internet traffic goes through mobile devices. There are already billions of dollars being generated through silly mobile games like Flappy Bird. Yet, there are almost no serious cryptocurrency projects being produced on top of mobile platforms. Obviously, mobile is the next big market for crypto.
Secret Weapon
iDice is an up-and coming online casino built on top of the Ethereum project. They're fast growing, and have the stats to back it up too. Over $422,000 worth of winnings have been paid out already. Did we mention this is only in their first two months? In fact, this makes them more popular than their competitors who have started their projects nearly a year in advance. iDice looks unstoppable. But what's their secret weapon?
iDice has been developing on their mobile app, which will be the first in the world for cryptocurrency. While they're already ahead of their competitors, mobile will be the first step to monopolizing the blockchain gambling industry for iDice. Being the first to come into the mobile sector will allow iDice to dominate its competition.
Investing in iDice
iDice is currently holding a crowdsale, meaning anyone with cryptocurrency can invest into their platform. Returns on similar projects in the past have ranged from 10x to 30x their initial investment, and iDice will likely be no different. To participate, check out the crowdsale here. iDice is currently issuing users tokens in exchange for their contributions, which can be used to redeem house profits. As well, iDice tokens will be tradeable on exchanges. This means you can sell tokens for a profit after the ICO.

from the European Commission and the National Agency NA-BiBB
Organisations go through various stages of development before they are able to work successfully in an international context. In the course of their Europeanisation, they will develop a vision and a strategy for their European work. They will expand their European network and increase their competencies for international activities, so that they will eventually be able to implement these professionally with international partners.
Where has your organisation reached in its journey to Europe?
Make use of our free self-assessment tool to find out how well prepared your organisation is for working internationally. You will receive individual recommendations for your next steps towards Europe based on your results.

Cottonwood Creek – Above Buena Vista
Cottonwood Creek has three branches before it arrives in the town of Buena Vista.
Middle Cottonwood Creek is accessed above Rainbow Lake (private) to the top of Cottonwood Pass. South Cottonwood Creek contains Cottonwood Lake, a very popular campground. Fishing is best beyond the campground. North Cottonwood Creek is the trailhead for Mount Harvard and contains a nice lake for fly fishing called Anglemeyer Lake which is a two-mile hike from the trailhead.
