Will World War 3 Destroy Europe?
Since the attack on Ukraine, more and more people speak about World War 3 every day. And a conflict of this type is very likely to involve atomic weapons. But would these weapons be used on all continents? Very unlikely. Just like World War 2, this new war will be probably fought mostly in Europe. What will that mean? Europe will be destroyed again and need decades to recover after an atomic war. If no treatment for cancer and radiation poisoning will be discovered soon (which is unlikely, given the contemporary level of medical development), the Europeans will suffer from radiation-related diseases for the next one hundred years.

Is Extraterrestrial Life Possible?
The question of whether there is intelligent life on other planets has been debated for many decades. Some believe that we are alone in the universe, but a vast majority consider that there is life on other planets, too. In fact, the probability of life appearing on other planets, the same way it has appeared on Earth is very high, given the fact that there are many solar systems in the universe, which have similar conditions as those on Earth. Unfortunately, our present development level has only allowed us to start exploring the nearest satellites and planets, so there is much to be discovered.

Brain Storage Capacity and the Future of Intelligent Life on Earth
"Cogito, ergo sum"- "I think, therefore I am", this is how Rene Descartes described life. I would change this statement a little, and it would look this way: "I think and I have my own life memories, therefore I am." Thinking alone would not be useful if we couldn't create and store new memories every second of our life. And we should also be able to remember them in the long term. The question is, if (thanks to advanced medicine) we could live forever, where would we store all the memories, covering tens of thousands of years of life? Could our simple primate brain face this challenge?

Recovering from Rape and Sexual Aggression
Violence against women undermines their dignity and integrity. It is rooted in the unequal status of women in society. Although Article 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that all people are equal, in many regions of the world, women are still being discriminated against. Education could change this view on the place of women in society, but unfortunately, due to poverty, large groups of the population do not have access to education. This in turn leads to them having lower chances of finding jobs and the long-term consequence of this situation is poverty during adulthood. Without education or a job, women easily become dependent on others and are likely to become victims of psychological manipulation and violence. A solution to the issue of poverty could be the universal basic income. This way, each citizen would have the guarantee that they will survive and have access to shelter, food, and education, no matter what problems they have to battle during their lifetimes.

Learn How to Recognize and Treat Anxiety
Family issues, stress at work, the pandemic, unemployment, health problems, and now the menace of war, are all reasons to feel anxious. To a certain point, anxiety can prove beneficial, because it can motivate us to be more alert and more focused on achieving our goals. If anxiety turns into a permanent worry regarding everyday situations, it can become hard to control and interfere with daily activities.

How to Make an Abstract Painting Using Tissue Paper
Learn how to create beautiful paintings to decorate your home or to offer as a gift to your friends and family. You can learn different painting techniques and understand how to apply them. Before starting to paint a logical question arises. What is the best medium you should use? Oil colors are more difficult to use and the necessary solvents also require a certain amount of experience. As a beginner, you should start with colors such as gouache, watercolor, or acrylic colors. Watercolor and gouache require a different technique than acrylic colors because they remain active, that is underlying layers can be blended when we add water or other colors. By comparison, acrylic colors dry hard and new colors can be applied over them and therefore it allows the artist to work on layers. There are special colors used for glass or textiles and they have different characteristics, which have to be taken into consideration when starting to work.

Making a Miniature Bread Using Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is a good medium to be used by beginners because it is very versatile and gives you the possibility of using your imagination to create a great variety of shapes. Learning a few simple techniques will allow you to obtain the best results when working with polymer clay. One characteristic of this type of clay, as compared to other types, such as air-dry clay, is that it does not necessarily require the application of a protective layer of sealer. Baking makes polymer clay water-resistant and it will withstand wear and humidity very well. In fact, some of the varnishes are problematic, and it is always good to test them before use and to only use them if it is really necessary. Some types of varnishes can peel, become cloudy, or sticky and this is one more reason why they should be avoided. Sometimes the use of varnish is necessary, such as in the case of decorating the surface of your items with gold foil, or mica powder to prevent the decorations from rubbing off.

How to Make an Abstract Painting Using a Sponge
Do you love painting and you dream of decorating the home yourself? We cannot imagine a world without color. Colors are enriching our lives and influence our mood. For example, color combinations that are dark can make us sad and melancholic, while bright colors seem joyful and give us a sensation of happiness. To influence the feelings of those who watch your paintings, you should understand color combinations and the way the human brain interprets them. For that purpose, you can use the color wheel, which will guide you, regarding the colors and color shades that can be combined in order to create beautiful color harmonies. Painting is a way of expressing your feelings and emotions and has a deeply relaxing effect on the human psyche. It is a type of hobby that does not require great investments. A piece of paper, some colors, and a brush are generally enough if you plan to start painting. The only limit to what you create is your imagination. Painting offers you unlimited ways to express yourself.

Is the Zero Emissions Target the Reason behind Putin's War?
Like every citizen around the globe, I have also watched terrified how Putin has attacked Ukraine, ruining the lives of innocent people. Because I couldn’t understand the motivation behind his criminal actions, which can only be compared to those of Hitler, I tried to listen to his explanations regarding why he started this terrible war. I realized that his motivations sounded unreasonable and fake. He claimed that people were the victims of bullying and genocide and called Ukraine a militarized state, led by Nazis. Given the fact that Ukraine is a democratic state, his statements sounded at least a little strange. Under these circumstances, the real reason for the attack seems to be another one. What could be this reason then, and why is he hiding it?
