After a while, the head of NASA decides to launch an unmanned rocket into the Moon. Let's see if that helps to save the world as we know it!

Hidden meanings and uses behind everyday things...
Hello to all of you from a typical day. No! Let’s say another day full of adventure! Ahh buddy I've just come back from the bank. I wouldn’t call it an adventure but I do like the people who work there. It’s just .. you know something you do everyday. So everything is quite predictable. Yeah if you’re always in that “routine” fair enough! Isn’t it also difficult to get out of that “routine” when you have these certain things to do tho? I’d agree with this. But partly. We can actually try simple things even in this cycle. Like? Like taking a different road to work or gazing at different things around you. True. Does it ever happen to you like “oh has it always been here?” All the time. Sometimes I turn off my senses so much that I don't pay attention to something I actually see everyday. Then I’m like “oh that’s very new to me” Even if they’re not so new to us, sometimes we learn to understand the reality between some things. Yeah there are so many things we use everyday or simply pass by but are we really sure about their true purpose? Today we might surprise you about this. Shall we begin?

9 Hurtful Things Parents Tell Teens
How to deal with teens? Being a parent isn’t easy, especially when your child reaches puberty. And adolescence is no walk in the park for teens either! That’s why this can be a turbulent time for both parties involved. What can make the situation better and help you both come out with your relationship intact is if parents avoid saying the following things to their kids. Do you know, for example, that what looks like a harmless compliment can actually do some real psychological damage in a teen? Dr. Timothy Gunn, a licensed clinical psychologist, says that these sorts of compliments put extra pressure on your child, making them afraid that if they do something wrong, you'll see that they're not so smart, talented, and pretty after all. As a result, they often avoid risky situations because of a fear of failure!

What If You Didn't Wash Your Hair for a Year?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped washing your hair? Washing our hair regularly is the basic hygiene tip we all know from childhood. Obviously, there aren't that many people who are willing to test it on themselves but, thankfully, experts already have an idea of how your hair would react to this bold experiment. Well, the first couple of days of your experiment would introduce you to an all-natural hair moisturizer known as sebum. As you let your scalp deal with everything on its own, your hair follicles would start producing more sebum just to make sure that your hair is properly hydrated. As a result, your hair would become greasy and oily. Wanna know the other details? Then watch the video!

I Ate Once a Day for a Month, See What Happened...
Can you eat just one meal a day? The human body can survive without a bite of food for up to 3 weeks. Of course, it’s a different story with water; you wouldn’t last more than 3 or 4 days without it! You and I both know that people are expected to eat 3 full meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Depending on how filling those meals are, you may squeeze in a few snacks here and there. It usually takes about 4 hours after each meal for your belly to start making those too-often-than-not embarrassingly monstrous growls, reminding you that it’s time for your next meal! But with different diets and fasting gaining popularity, I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to my body if I ate just one meal every day for 30 days. I did it, and here’s what I got out of it!
