Tropical Storm Aere
Tropical Storm Aere Its only the end of June but we are just finding new ways to keep cool. Sure we can go to the waterpark, go to the beach, or just spray ourselves with the garden hose. But for those living in Japan and South Korea, they are just days away from being wet with monsoon rains. Tropical Storm Aere has just manifested from the Pacific Ocean and its making its way North, hurdling towards Japan and making touchdown in South Korea. As this is monsoon season for Asian nations, we can expect more severe storms and typhoons to batter these nations. But these are just the beginning storms. Those living in Asia need to take heed for what is to come in July and August. Well, for the western hemisphere, our time is coming. July will be the start and August will be the breaking point for all-new…

The Big Storm Is Coming
As many of us know, hurricane season is upon us, and that means the Atlantic states will be enduring severe storms, flash floods, strong winds, rain and hail, and quite possible tornado offshoots. And with all of these hazards come the risk of extreme damage to your property and to your very life. Last year, Hurricane Ida was a heavy-hitting Category 4 hurricane that decimated Louisiana, damaged New Jersey, New York, and other Atlantic coastal states. To see an example of some of the carnage left behind in New Orleans, watch this YouTube video from the Washington Post by clicking here. As a new season begins, meteorologists, emergency managers, utility companies, and residents who live in high-risk areas should always maintain vigilance and keep track of all the hurricane and tropical storms that manifest. But why should we keep tabs on those storms that are not in our area? Simple…
Monkeypox Outbreak: A New Pandemic
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received many confirmed reports in several countries, including the U.S., of an outbreak of a novel strain of the Monkeypox. The UK, Spain, Portugal, and the U.S. have confirmed a small number of growing Monkeypox cases that have caused global concern. This strain of Monkeypox, which is commonly found in Africa, was brought to Massachusetts by someone who had just travelled from the UK. And while the strain is considered rare and centralized in Africa, epidemiologists still have concerns as it is a novel strain, similar to the recent SARS-CoVID-2 strain, or COVID-19, with its many sub-variants like the Delta and Omicron, are not taking any chances and monitoring the current situation closely. What is Monkeypox? Monkeypox is a rare disease that comes from the same family of viruses as Smallpox, the pandemic outbreak that devastated more than half of the…
Twister 2022: This Ain’t No Movie
Unlike the 1996 Hollywood movie that created an internet meme of a cow flying in the air, twisters, or tornadoes, are no laughing matter. Tornadoes happen in all 50 states and they take many forms. In the West, they may be known as Dust Devils, Dust Cyclones, or Sand Devils. They can be small in nature or they could be immense. The winds of Dust Devils aren’t as strong as compared to other regions, but the fact that they blanket the skyline with dust, reduce visibility by up to 100%, and can cause inhalation problems or get in your engine, still drives a need for high concern. When mixed with water, a tornado becomes a water cyclone or water spout. But among all 50 states where tornadoes could manifest, there is one region where tornadoes are frequent. That region is known as Tornado Alley. Regardless of where you live, you…

Wild Lettuce (Lactuca Virosa)
Many of you are wondering what wild lettuce is. Wild lettuce, as you may have guessed it, belongs to the lettuce family. They also belong to the dandelion family. With that said, there are different breeds of wild lettuce. But all types of wild lettuce have one thing in common. Wild lettuce produces a milky, sticky substance that induces pain relief. Lactucarium, the milky sap one gets when they break of a stem of wild lettuce, is a natural pain relief with no known side effects. Think of morphine but less addictive and milder. Lactucarium has been used for many centuries to relieve pain, stress, sleep apnea, confusion, induces healthier sleep behavior, It has been proven but is not scientifically backed up. Why? Big pharmaceutical companies profit more from “proven” Western medicine that are synthetically engineered with serious side effects. Think about it. Chemicals and bonded inorganic components are modified…
What Is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been activated by an aggressor (an inorganic salt) and water. Charcoal itself is about 90% carbon. When activated, the charcoal heats up and absorbs microscopic elements as the inorganic salt traps them as it liquefies. To put it bluntly, activated charcoal traps radicals until the charcoal is discarded. For this reason, many people (before Western medicine and even now) use activated charcoal for their medicinal/first aid needs. From being used as a coagulant, to upset stomachs, weight loss to accidental poison or radiation absorption, activated charcoal is a quick remedy until emergency help arrives. It is even used by the military as a flame-less heater. There are more uses to activated charcoal — I will leave it to you all to add your experiments. As a precaution, any experiment you do is solely at your own risk. We do not accept fault for your…
My Observations
For the past three months, I have been out on deployments with FEMA, helping survivors with registering for Individual and Housing Assistance. There were times where I just wanted to rest and take a day off. I put myself in there shoes, imagining losing everything; my house, my personal property, and no where to go. Survivors calling at 2 or 3 a.m. in the morning, crying. How could I rest when there are so many people suffering out there? I decided to work 7 days out of the week, 12 hours everyday. Knowing I would not have time to spend with my wife and son, putting extra burden on them. But they supported me on the mission and assured me I was working for the greater good. Now the chaos has slowed down and I am able to get some downtime. Still, there are so many people out there, in…
The Rising Floods Pt 1: Preparation
Have you ever been to a lake? Or how about the beach? One look at a majestic body of water and we think, “Wow. How beautiful is that lake?” or “The waves of the ocean are hypnotic.” Certainly, sitting or laying on the shore overlooking the ocean can be a relaxing time. As we ponder the serenity of watching the rolling waves creeping toward the shore, we are also reminded of just how dangerous the waters can be. Water is the essence of life. We need it, and much of it in order to live. But too much water can be equally dangerous. It can consume us and our possession, our property. What I’m talking about is flood waters. Flood waters, or just flooding, can occur in any part of the world, from the deserts of the Mojave to the western European coastal areas, to even entire islands. But the…
