There are more than 30 more creatures untold. Some of these beings originated from other Southeast Asian countries especially Malaysia and Indonesia, like the Tiyanak and Manananggal. While others told by the Spaniards to scare the Filipinos to go out at night, like the Tikbalang. But some of them are uniquely ours. Actually the 30 more creatures I said are still not written or known by the urban peoples.
Green tea catechins shown to shrink cancerous tumors in humans by: John Phillip (NaturalNews) Natural health advocates have understood and demonstrated the potent antioxidant and anti-cancer properties of green tea consumption for decades. The Chinese have brewed the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant for more than 5,000 years to benefit human health. Amaterasu Solar by Amaterasu Solar Let Us presume a world where free energy is available to all. Also, Let’s add robots doing all the necessary work no One wants to do - or taking up the slack where not enough People are doing necessary work. In this scenario, there would not be any need for money - in any form: barter, trade, work exchange, cash, checks, electronic funds. You may doubt this, but Let’s examine a single case to illustrate the whole.
PHILIPPINE FABLED GOLD, FUTURE WORLD’S TREASURES Erle Frayne D.

I want to learn 3D animation?from where i should start It does not matter all too much which 3d animation package you use, whether Lightwave, Maya, Max, XSI, Cinema 4D, Houdini or Blender. What is important is a general understanding of the 3d animation workflow: modeling, texturing (materials), rigging a character, lighting, animation and rendering/compositing techniques. Start with simple projects, and work you way up from there.
Social contract In moral and political philosophy, the social contract or political contract is a theory or model, originating during the Age of Enlightenment, that typically addresses the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual.[1] Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights. The question of the relation between natural and legal rights, therefore, is often an aspect of social contract theory. The Social Contract (Du contrat social ou Principes du droit politique) is also the title of a 1762 book by Jean-Jacques Rousseau on this topic. Overview[edit] Thomas Hobbes famously said that in a "state of nature" human life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short". History[edit]
Nicomachean Ethics The Nicomachean Ethics is widely considered one of the most important historical philosophical works, and had an important impact upon the European Middle Ages, becoming one of the core works of medieval philosophy. It therefore indirectly became critical in the development of all modern philosophy as well as European law and theology. Many parts of the Nicomachean Ethics are well known in their own right, within different fields. In the Middle Ages, a synthesis between Aristotelian ethics and Christian theology became widespread, especially in Europe. While various philosophers had influenced Christendom since its earliest times, in Western Europe Aristotle became "the Philosopher" under the influence of the Spanish Muslim philosopher Averroes. The most important version of this synthesis was that of Thomas of Aquinas.
How Self-Sustaining Space Habitats Could Save Humanity from Extinction I think any small habitat will always be in danger of going unstable and collapsing. With a limited amount of space and resources there wouldn't be room for all that much biodiversity, and any number of unexpected factors could deal the ecosystem a death blow from which it would not recover. Until we can terraform entire planets to create large, planetary-scale ecosystems with lots of diversity, none of these "backups" for our ecosystem would be particularly reliable, I think. I suppose it'd be better than nothing, but it's a little like trying to back up your modern hard drive to an old worn floppy disk that seems like its case will fall apart any moment. And you store that floppy disk on the same shelf as your collection of rare earth magnets.
