BBC Journalist Comes Clean: “Believe Nothing You Read Or Watch”
“I am ashamed to be a journalist,” says grieving BBC radio host.
John Darvall is a BBC radio host who recently had an epiphany over the state of journalism, after realizing the industry he’d served so well wouldn’t think twice about screwing him over for a good story.
Darvall, who hosts a show on BBC radio Bristol, has just lost his daughter. Polly was 22, and died in a tragic car accident on Halloween. Since he works for the BBC, Darvall’s grief became public, and he agreed to give an interview. The report was full of inaccuracies and mistakes which compounded his loss, and caused huge problems in the family.
‘This poor piece of journalism made Tuesday probably the worst day of this whole episode so far. This includes seeing our dead daughter in a hospital mortuary just 12 hours after she was killed,’ Darvall wrote in a moving blog post.
Senate Quietly Passes Bipartisan Bill To Allow Conquest Of Space
Extraterrestrial ‘Finders Keepers’ law allows US citizens and companies to legally claim ‘abiotic’ natural resources including water and minerals.
In a bipartisan bid to encourage commercial exploitation of outer space, the U.S. Senate this week unanimously passed the Space Act of 2015, which grants U.S. citizens or corporations the right to legally claim non-living natural resources—including water and minerals—mined in the final frontier.
The legislation—described by IGN‘s Jenna Pitcher as “a celestial ‘Finders Keepers’ law”—could be a direct affront to an international treaty that bars nations from owning property in space. The bill will now be sent back to the House of Representatives, which is expected to approve the changes, and then on to President Barack Obama for his anticipated signature.
This Is How You Become Unattractive And You’re Not Aware of It
Everyone strives to be a great person, kind, caring, and compassionate. But for some people, that’s not always the case. There are many behaviors or ‘bad habits’ that people have that make them seem unattractive, annoying, or someone that no one wants to be around with. A few of these harmful characteristics are offered for you below, and if you happen to realize that you embody any of them – quit! You might find your circle of friends grow once you do.
1. You are Self-Absorbed
Many people do this without realizing it. You focus solely on yourself, talk only about yourself, and often don’t care what others around you have to say. You think you’re the only one who matters. If this is you, it’s time to change. No one wants to be a friend with someone who only cares about themselves.
2. You Focus on Outer Beauty, Ignoring What’s Inside...
Mars' moon Phobos is slowly disintegrating
The long shallow grooves on Phobos are likely early signs of structural damage. Scientists now believe that Phobos is not solid but instead is a pile of rubble covered by a thick layer of dust which makes it look solid. Scientists expect the moon to be pulled apart in 30 to 50 million years thanks to Mars' gravity.
Phobos is the larger of Mars' two moons. Due to their low orbits and diminutive size, scientists have long wondered whether Mars' two moons, Deimos and Phobos, are real moons or just asteroids captured by Mars' gravity. Even so, Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 6 000 km (3 700 miles) from the surface of the Red Planet. This makes Phobos closer to its host planet as compared to any other moon in the entire Solar System.

How Cannabis Helps My ADHD – A Patient’s Story
By an anonymous patient
Guest writer for Wake Up World
Let me introduce myself, I am a 32-year-old entrepreneur with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and I use cannabis, daily, to manage my condition. I’ve spent the past decade running international businesses on two continents, and have previously been in a long-term relationship for nine years; which provided me with a beautiful 6-year-old daughter whom I care for jointly.
My story starts when I was diagnosed at age two with ADHD and spent the next three years on a series of diets that have affected my eating habits to this day. I didn’t have chocolate, sugar, wheat or cow’s milk until I was five. From then I was medicated with amphetamine-derived drugs for over 20 years. First Ritalin, then in my 20s Concerta. By age 10 I was prescribed double the maximum daily dose (which is 6 tablets or 60 mg) and I was given 12 tablets or 120mg methylphenidate per day. By age 15 I was on 4.5 x the maximum daily dose at 25 tablets and 250mg per day.

How Old Grows Young – Preschools in Nursing Homes Give New Life to Elderly Residents
By Carmen Allgood
Contributing Writer for Wake Up World
Aging can have a lot of issues attached to it: The body is no longer at the top of its game and gravity is slowly but surely drawing the body down to its final resting place. We try not to complain, but Bette Davis probably said it best: Old age is no place for sissies.
As we age, there is also bound to be loss as friends and family age and inevitably cross over. What used to be a huge gathering during holidays and special occasions begins to dwindle, and many will suddenly become part of the nearly 50% of elderly people who feel isolated and alone. Then, when coupled with the physical ailments of aging, which are made worse by feelings of loneliness, emotional issues can turn into a disaster and depression can easily set in.
But now, in an inspiring innovation, elderly Seattle residents are finding a new lease on life with a project that integrates preschool and aged care facilities, bringing children and elderly residents together for variety of activities like music, dancing, art, storytelling and socializing.

Grace is a high vibrating attribute among human beings. It is seen as a beautiful and benevolent energy that is lovely to behold.
When one is in a state of grace, they are in peaceful, fluid alignment with Source energy. They are the embodiment of surrender, flow and acceptance. Grace is forgiving and loving. It is heart-centered movement and presence.
As you learn to employ the vital aspects of surrender, faith, flow, trust, acceptance, and allowing in your lives, Dear Ones, the state of grace and ease you seek will naturally occur. You will be expressing and navigating yourself through your own divinity, shining your unique beauty for all to see. ~Archangel Gabriel

Take A Stand….In Love!
Dark times, deeds and actions will happen on your Earth-plane. Sometimes it will appear to have no rhyme or reason and, in other instances, it will seem as if it is a deadly arrow pointed directly at the heart of Love. Do not abandon hope! Now is the time to stand, embrace and send Unconditional Love where it is needed. Remember; the light of The Universe always finds its way back, shining more brightly than ever. ~ Creator
