Often in Life we have encountered things that is not understandable and sometimes unexplainable, Most of us believe everything that exist always has reasons that support their existence,this idea is the only key to the understanding of universe since the yet there are still contradictions between faith and science. These are the product of humanity greatest properties which we know best as ignorance and arrogance, humans tend to think that they knew everything, as the time went on humans had discovered truth about their universe considered theirselves as the closest being to god and eventually abandoned their faith and became atheist. Nowadays humans has a better understanding of the universe but it doesnt mean that our journey has ended here, just remember one thing the universe is an enormous dimension, way too much for us to take in , there are many possibilities in it that we ourselves couldnt ever imagined. If you are seeking for answer for these posibilities the answer for the mean time is a bucket will not take up all the water in the ocean.

Anime Review "Full Metal Alchemist"

Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師 ,Hagane no Renkinjutsushi?, lit. "Alchemist of Steel"), an ongoing japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The universe of FMA is adapted heavily after European Industrial Revolution.
When watching the show for the first time you'll find that this isn't your average series about magic and monsters. This series involves the scientific marvel known as alchemy. Unlike magic, which can make something out of nothing, alchemy follows the law of even trade, making something out of something. Of course, watching a guy turn water into salt wouldn't make for a very entertaining series, so FA takes things to a much more imaginative level.
By using certain circular symbols called “transmutation circles” (some also call these “arrays“), a house can be made out of rubble, or a sword from a chunk of metal. However, as with everything, there are some rules that should never be broken.This is where our aspiring protagonists come into play. The young brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric have lost their mother to a rare illness and are unable to contact their father who's been away. To fill this void in their lives, the boys turn to a study of alchemy. It isn't long after their informal training that they attempt the most forbidden of alchemic crafts: Human Transmutation. They fail.The price is high, as Ed loses both his entire right arm and his lower left leg, and Al loses everything. Using quick thinking, Ed grafts Al's spirit to a full suit of armor using alchemy before passing out from the pain and blood loss. Likewise Al makes use of his new body to take Ed to their adoptive family, the Rockbells.
It is here that Ed is fitted with a type of prosthetic called “automail,” a Rockbell specialty that allows for a full range of motion and added strength.While recovering, the pair is offered a chance to be students at a special academy that will give them a shot at becoming State Alchemists (“government-issued” alchemists). Ed and Al see this as an opportunity not only to better their understanding of alchemy, but also to further research human transmutation, hopefully to regain their former bodies. To do this they find they'll need an item that will amplify their abilities, the Philosopher's Stone. It's with this that their biggest adventure begins.Much of the earlier story is told as the real story of FA progresses. The current story actually takes place about 5 years after the events that set the brothers on their path. Learning about events that have taken place in the past helps promote interest in what is a long, complex story full of well rounded characters.
Everyone has a past to explore. The past is just as important as the present, and viewers will want to understand both series of events well. It goes beyond the Elric brothers' search for answers as all chains of events become intertwined at one point or another.The constant reviving of previous story arcs does much to keep the series fresh. By reintroducing characters that aren't expected to return, the entertainment level rises greatly. Throwing in one plot twist after another only increases the anticipation of each episode.Fullmetal Alchemist has full of some of the most interesting and well-rounded characters you'll see in an anime. Thanks to the connections between past and present in the story, we learn much about the characters in a short length of time. We also get ample opportunity to watch the characters develop.
In some cases it's as simple as a State Alchemist rising in military rank, but other times it's more personal, like a birthday. The characters mature, and as they reflect on their past lives, we often see changes in morals or ambitions.Be warned, though: Don't trust anybody in the show. One of the greatest things about this series is the ability to mislead the viewers into a false sense of security. Motives and intents change rapidly; the nicest character can quickly become the vilest. And of course, it goes both ways.We also witness some of anime's best character designs. You'll never confuse characters in Fullmetal Alchemist, as each character has a distinct appearance. Some very calculated care was taken to make sure that no two characters looked even remotely alike. It's especially important because most characters are part of the military and, thus, will be seen mainly in their uniforms. The one exception is Ed, who almost always wears variations on his familiar black suit and red coat.The animation is squeaky clean. The colors are bright and vivid; even dull hues appear to glow. The animation is always flooded with colors--but never to the point that it becomes too busy or painful to watch.
In some sequences they even use real photos of historical events like World War II. In other cases they use computer generated rooms and perfectly animate the characters within them, leaving a pleasant, uniform look to the animation.Equally as impressive is the music. So far we've had opening and ending themes by such popular artists as Porno Graffitti, L'Arc en Ciel, YeLLOW Generation, and Crystal Kay to name a few. As of this writing there are still two more top names being added to the soundtrack, bringing the total to eight for this series' fifty-episode run. Thanks not only to the variety of artists, but also the different styles that each one brings to the table, the music is never boring and worth taking the couple of minutes to listen to every time. Anyone who's familiar with the quality of music that Square Enix includes in their games should know what to expect from Fullmetal Alchemist. Much of the background music is fully orchestrated, often relying on the use of woodwinds and percussions that are pleasing to the ear and in no way distract from any talking taking place.One last thing: If you should happen to doubt the popularity of Fullmetal Alchemist, then check this out. Recently Square Enix announced they'd received a much higher than expected profit for the last fiscal year (3/2003 to 3/2004) and attributed this to three things: The popularity of Dragon Quest V in Japan, the popularity of Final Fantasy X-2 in the US and Europe, and the popularity of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga in Japan. So yes, it's that big.

AK 47 Vs. M14A1 "Which one is better?"
In this post, I will evaluate the capability of each riffle to finds out the good things and the weaknesses of these 2 riffles.
AK 47 was invented in 1947 by Mikhail Kalashnikov, its avebriation stands for avtomat kalashnikov 1947. The riffle was then brought into service to the Russian Forces in 1949and it was the first assault riffle in history. AK47 is also renowned as the tough rifle because of its durability through many battle terrain, it can be fired properly after it was crushed by a truck, soaked in water,and submerged into sands,beside of its durability it also has a badass firepower, it uses 7.62x39 Ammo which able to penetrate and cut a stone into half. One thing that is bad about AK47 is it recoil, the AK47 will not hit anything at 300yards which was an letdown to this magnificent riffle.
M16 is an american assault rifle, It was come into service by the time of vietnam war, The M16 was the evolutionary of M14 semi auto rifle, the design of this rifle is intended to alter the recoil from the handle to the stock, thats why it has a pistol grip whish is installed vertically to its body unlike the M14 which has a paddle like shape.The M16 was not a grace to the USarmy, It tend to jam in tropic condition and it needs a lot of care from its user. The M16 uses 5.56 x 45 mm NATO ammunition, it is smaller in terms of size compared to AK's 7.62x39 Ammo but it does travel at higher velocity but it is nothing compared to energy that 7.62 deals. M16 is taking advantage in hostage situation, it has fire selector that can be set to semi auto firing and it has ambidextrous rifle sight. In term of accuracy M16 is whole much better than AK47.
Overall AK47 is intended to be used in all terrain CQB rather being used as a Designated Marksmen rifle, while the M16 is focused in the both area but not in all terrain as it will jam if its barrel is exposed to a high level of humidity or dust.
A wrong first reaction
Cerberus,an aggressive dog find himself to have been put in a huge room where all the wall are made from mirror. Realizing that a similiarly aggressive dog is staring at him, cerberus grind his teeth and bark severely toward to attack it only to know that 4 angry dogs he will not be able to conquer are surrounding him. Feeling terrorized, cerberus runs away from them but it was a futile attemp, whereever he moves his reflection keep on following him. cerberus runs around the hall trying to get rid of the nightmarish sight only to exhaust all his breath and energy. The frightened dog fainted and dies following futile attemps to run away from himself.
If only he had started by displaying friendly attitude, the "four other dogs" would have done the same thing and the whole story would have been very diffrent. Often in life, we do not get what we want because we give wrong first reactionto what would otherwise havve led us to a happy ending.
