Scientific Utopia

Florida, August 2048,
Mainstream organic robotic interface mirth.
Twenty-first mid-century Earth
And the Black Galaxy giving birth

To settlements on Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars
Rebuilding ruined ecosystems by flying space cars.
Genetic arts and bionetwork success
Contributed to the scientific utopia mess.

Disorder, confusion, and mandatory labor
Empowered by political leaders in favor.
Sample model from pre-industrial society
Busted up the human-a-like morality.

“I guess I will dive into the wreck
To the darkness in the spaceship derelict
To research the secrets from the past
X-rayed with modern radars.”

Group of marvelous teens, green as elves,
Very loyal to themselves
And the code they invent,
Inside, outside and online exploring the newest trend

Information in the Sci-Fi blend wrath
Of fantasy and detection within benchmarked path
And an epic century-long journey,
Imaginary fantasy, hunted in dreams, and very earthy.

Really, what will happen after half-century change?
Probably, something outrage and very strange.
Perhaps, there will be vital and vibrant teen space
And virtual lights will keep the blues of social path

Keep away dirty minds from the red button.
Don’t leave the future to the Satan!
Don’t make our planet rotten!
Turns on another question:

Who decides what it means to be human?
Here comes a new topic on humanity and men.
This one is not from utopia.
This one is from human philanthropy, dah!
Spontaneous, unpredictable
Taking over the brain and mind
Clicking evolution with visual effects
And social affects

In apps currency
That created the speed efficiency
Information security reviews
Computer forensics preventing intrudes

Copyright commodities
Plus twenty-eight percent royalties
Good, bad, and ugly
Web-based control systems vary

Empowering givers and users
Transforming communities of savvies
On the digital map
By a simple clap

Many clouds,
No brain, no rain –
“This is worse to try
Diving in the digital sky!”

Few Cold Winter Days in Tropics

The day is ending
The night is descending
Northern wind dominants
From the winter lands
Through clouds like ashes
The sun flashes
Freeze, freeze, through bitter sky –
In the frosty night
Brings dear delights
Of the long, long nights

Classic Cross-Stitch

What a wonderful hobby! Let's begin exclusive designs for gifts and collections by stitching!
Needlework is a keepsake to pass from generation to generation.
Red hearts for Valentine's Day is a tribute to stitching skills talent and a rewarding activity for long winter evenings.
The most commonly used the following stitches -

• Basic cross-stitch


• Cross-stitch variations such as quarter, half, and three-quarter are often used to form shapes within a design


• Back stitch


• Beginning thread


• Ending thread


• French knots


• Lazy daisy stitch


• Stem stitch

A variety of small motifs and an easy-to-stitching gift bags, tags, clothing trims and more. Personal messages and names are easy to graph with alphabet letters. Great fun for the beginners, too!

Beautification

The way how we dress often supplement - or even replaced -by various kinds of body decorations such as tattoos, piercing and make up. Historically, the designs used for painting, tattoos, and scarification were often symbolic or magical.
By 18th century, in Europe and America, women's body shapes were most dramatically changed by wearing hoops and panniers, and padding over the the bottom called "false rumps." Men used padded calves to make their legs look better in breeches, and men and women slimmed their waists with stays.
Both men and women used a toxic paste of white lead to whiten the face, then reddened their cheeks and lips. Eyebrows were carefully trimmed into shape or, in some cases, shaved off and replaced with fake eyebrows made of mouse fur.
Patches made of black silk or velvet in many shapes were worn on the face to highlight the beauty of pale skin. They were probably used originally to hide smallpox scars.
In 1770 a law was passed in England to punish women who lured men into marriage by using too many false aids, such as wigs, make up and padding to make themselves look more beautiful than they really were.

"Somewhere-Anywhere" by Sheila Elias

Sheila Elias is an artist, and the book entitled "Somewhere-Anywhere" is a collective artist's work with analyses and commentaries. "Somewhere-Anywhere" could be at any place and at any time. The uniqueness of her art work reflects on the post-modern condition that only a woman with her eye on urban neighborhoods and local communities can tell us a visual story in layers of emotions and colors on a daily life events that are "somewhere and anywhere." The flying human figures are messengers of hope and imaginary dream that could happen somewhere.

National EnGineering Week

It was announced a long-time ago about the National Engineering Week in February 19 to 25. So, it is coming soon. In the past blogs, it was slightly touched the surface of the unexpected connection in the dual attraction, the romance between modern technology and the cookery slang.
Today, let's imaging the classic Barbie doll acting as a 'career girl.' The Computer Engineering Barbie doll took a big place in my heart since her birthday on the winter day in 2010. Such a potential for girls to dream about leadership in technology, electronic engineering, and surroundings of computer technology!
So, keep in mind it, and let's us celebrate the capital 'G' in EnGineering standing for girls in engineering field. I know a very special lady with a PhD in Engineering, and she is an everyday inspiration, and a joy to follow. Sorry ladies, Lady Gaga and Lady in Red, today we are not against the pretty looks; but we, as parents and friends, have great expectations for our growing up young spring in education, careers, professional development, because future is calling for girls in science and technology, computer and electronic engineering.

Poetry of Earth: Mini Essay

"The poetry of earth is never dead," wrote John Keats, and, indeed, it is nature, the poetry of earth, that brings beauty into our lives, that forces us to change our plans, that affects our moods.
Nature sets a sky aflame at sunset, magically transforms a familiar landscape into a snow-white wonderland at north, paints our beautiful sea grape dinner-plate round leaves with glow of bright yellow and red shades of colors in the south.
Her Majesty Nature responsible for the cold days, blustery winds, for rainstorms, and the cruel heat of high summer days. Nature is truly an intrinsic part of our lives.

How privileged we are under laughing blue sky and the blue ocean sigh, and merry birds twittering to cheer the evergreen scenes so dear with delights of the long, long nights.
The azure hue makes the best philosophy untrue against the arrows of the coming sun.
