The Ocean Is Important. How Important?
Without the ocean, we simply wouldn't survive! We ALL rely on it, even those who live miles away from the shore. The ocean covers nearly three-quarters of the earth's surface and holds 97% of the planet's water. Believe it or not, the ocean also generates more than half of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere. Don't believe me? Let me explain. Phytoplankton are plants that live near the water’s surface and drift with the currents. These plants produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, a process which converts carbon dioxide and sunlight into sugars the organism can use for energy. Put simply, they produce oxygen the same way that trees do. But on a much larger scale. Scientists believe that phytoplankton contribute to between 50 to 85 percent of the oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere. That's a lot.

Within Closed Doors
I was naive and curious, not thinking much of the consequences until it was too late. Five years later, I am still paying the price for doing an online personality test. I made sacrifices in my life for this new aged religion, and no matter how great of a change I made in my life to come into their fold, it was never good enough. I stopped taking needed medication, stopped seeing certain doctors about my health, even putting my education on hold for the beastly cult. The erroneous claim of wanting to help people to get better is the furthest thing from the truth that this religion has done. I am not better and have experienced that none of the practices of this cult have made an attempt to make me better. The only thing I noticed is that they are great at taking a person's money to get funds that they need to keep afloat.

Getting Closer to Earth 2.0: Astronomers Discover 20 New Potentially Habitable Exoplanets
Exoplanets, planets orbiting stars other than the Sun, are being discovered by the thousands now, and there are estimated to be billions of them in our galaxy alone. So far, they have ranged from worlds smaller than Earth, to "super-Earths" and "hot Jupiters" — a wide variety of sizes, compositions and temperatures. For many people, the most interesting are the ones which could potentially support life of some kind. How many of these planets may actually be habitable, at least by earthly standards? As technology improves, astronomers are getting closer to tentatively answer some of these questions, and a few dozen or so such planets have been identified so far. Now, a large team of researchers have found 20 more exoplanets which might be capable of supporting life. The findings are based on data sent back by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope.
