A Shot in the Dark: My Crazy Night Sky Photography Story
Basically, this is the story of a lucky shot. To begin, let's go back a few years. First of all, I am far from a pro-photographer. I shoot on a DSLR, for which I only have one lens. But I am an aspiring photographer. Over the past year or two, I have been learning more and more about photography, not to mention falling in love with it. Also, I am a stargazer by nature so night sky photography has always intrigued me. I remember being in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a couple years ago, gazing mesmerized at the star-filled sky. This was not long after I bought my first DSLR, and I figured I could use it to snap a quick photo of the beautiful sky. I turned it on and pointed it towards the sky, in auto mode. To my dismay, the blurry picture that resulted hardly captured any of the millions of pinpoints of light I could see with my eyes. This was my first experience with "night sky photography."

Blockchain in Plain English
We hear a lot about Blockchain these days, but how many people know what it's really about? In an attempt to make this definition as simple as possible, blockchain automates trust. It’s a software architecture that allows non-trusting parties to record transactions without requiring a trusted governing authority. In other words, it does away with middlemen. That directly affects banking, insurance, and distribution, as well as any industry that previously relied on a trusted third party.

How to Invest in Corporate Bonds
Allow me to paint a picture for you: You're doing well in your professional life—maybe you're even thinking about retiring in ten or fifteen years—and you have extra income that you want to know what to do with. While you could just toss it all in a savings account for safekeeping, such an account is hardly high yield and offers little in the way of interest or growth. You want to invest some of your hard-earned money in something that can offer higher yields in the long-term. You could try your hand at the stock market, but stocks can be incredibly high risk, and your broker will take a cut of anything you earn anyway. If this scenario describes you in any way, then investing in bonds is a perfect fit for your needs. You can choose to invest in corporate bonds or government bonds, with the former having higher bond prices and higher risk but a higher interest rate than the latter. In this article, I will discuss all you need to know to enter the world of corporate bonds.

Another 10 Properties Marvel Can Turn into Great Franchises
Back on July 4, I submitted a list of what I believed to be the top ten Marvel properties that Marvel Studios could turn into successful franchises. Since that was my most successful article, I decided to make a sequel to it. Now, like most sequels, this article was not asked for, nor was it necessarily wanted, and it probably won’t be as good as the original article, but I’m making it anyway. This time, I’ve included some characters associated with the Fantastic Four and X-Men, but like last time, I didn’t add them specifically to the list, given the inevitability that we’ll see them enter the MCU as new franchises. And with that, I present you with number 10:

5 'The Purge' Movies They Should Make Next
When I first saw The Purge, I thought pretty much what everyone else thought at the time. The premise put forth in this low-budget home invasion movie was way too good to be wasted on something so forgettable. Carnivale, but with machetes... man, now that would have been something worth watching.

The Origin of the Green Lantern: Jessica Cruz
Jessica Cruz is the most recent Green Lantern of Earth, making there a total of 6 human Green Lanterns that protect Earth. That is way too many Green Lanterns to protect one planet, but I digress because Jessica is actually a very interesting character that I think many people will be able to relate to. Well... I don't know how many people will relate to her origin story.
