This is a five-minute video on growing longer hair faster. So all you girls posting photos on tumblr or posting statuses on Facebook saying “I WANT LONGER HAIR,” watch the following video! But remember, your hair is fine just the way it is. Waist long hair isn’t the only type of hair that’s beautiful.
Two things: Mr. Simple and life. Recently, my friend sent me a link to a music video of the song Mr. Simple by Super Junior (I’m shameful because I’m Korean and my non-Korean friend had to tell me about it). For those of you who just hum along and dance to it but don’t actually…
When we’re kids, we wake up at six or seven to catch our favorite show in the morning. Then we’d have a nice cup of milk, then hit the hay at nine. But as we get older, we tend to sleep later and wake up later (unless it’s a school or work day, of course).…
Sometimes, there are so many things running through our heads. Sometimes we want to get away from it all and focus on ourselves. We tend to forget the importance of achieving a balance in life. There’s too much work and not enough play. There’s too much stress and not enough relaxation. I’ve only recently discovered…
Calgary is a great city to live in. But there’s always room for improvement. If I had to list just three things to make it an even better place to live, I would suggest the following. First, what I notice in many neighbourhoods is a lack of interaction. Sure, you would know some of your…
Echolocation. The ability to develop an image of one’s surroundings by a means of auditory senses. Ben Underwood was one of the six people in the entire world who displays such ability.

Pain. Certainly anyone in their right mind would say that pain is an unplesant experience they would like to avoid. But not Tim Cridland. He doesn’t experience it the same way most people do. He doesn’t cringe or flinch or run away from the source of pain. Studies on Cridland has shown that he’s able…
Joseph Pujol was no ordinary man. He could fart the high and low notes. That’s right, fart. To him, farting wasn’t merely a way to release bodily gases. It was a creative way to express himself, as strange as that may sound. He was capable of imitating sounds such as animal calls, musical instruments and…

Lately, Einstein’s theory of relativity has been stripped of its ingenius. And while I was looking into this topic, I came across Einstein’s riddle. I had first been given this question a few years back and although it’s a bit of a struggle at the beginning, it made sense in the end. So try it…
Steve Jobs. The name itself pretty much says it all. Who was Steve Jobs? People have called him a visionary, a genius, the modern Michelangelo, an inventor, a technology icon. Yes, he was definitely all the aforementioned. He is an inspiration.

Piano in a Factory, a film directed by Zhang Meng, tells the story of a father’s love for his daughter. Even as state-run industry begins to waver, the economic liberalization is evidently far from reaching the city that the film takes place. Chen Guilin (Wang Qianyuan) plays the accordion in a local band with a…
Recently I had been recommended a book called Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. At first I was hesitant to pick up the book because the first page I saw was full of spelling and grammatical errors. Flowers for Algernon is a first-person narrative told by Charlie Gordon whose innate IQ is an exceptionally low 68.…
The issue of equality, or rather, inequality, between men and women has been long debated, questioned and criticized. I’m here to point out some arguments from hopefully what all of you will view as conciliatory. 1) Creation of woman from man. Let’s go back to the origins from a religious point of view.
