However many countries and underdeveloped parts of the world find it hard to acquire clean water despite its abundance. One cannot simply drink sea water or water from a nearby river, this is where Home water purification systems come in, as well as other purification methods like water filters, water conditioning, water softeners, and reverse osmosis water purification system.

That’s why it doesn’t come as a surprise to see an increasing demand for home water purification systems, house water filters, and water softener systems. Fitted in almost every home in the US and around the world it meets our increasing demand for pure and clean water which is increasingly becoming a necessity in today’s modern lifestyle. Prozone, Hydrotech,Culligan, Kinetico, Pur, and Kenmore are manufacturers that provide home owners with these systems.

Not only can home owners benefit from water purification systems, the environment also needs water that is clean and uncontaminated. Studies now show that chlorinated water and other chemicals present in a lot of drinking water prove to be harmful and are found to be linked to cancer. Chlorine and other bleaching detergents are commonly used to kill germs and bacteria without the need for complicated water purification systems. Therefore, residential water filters and residential water purification techniques are necessary to avoid these things.

Water softeners are the most common water filters in the market. There are two kinds of filters, salt and carbon filters. The salt filters advertised by many companies seem to be the most efficient and inexpensive product amongst the two, but the ads fail to mention how many frequent refills are required. It may also prove harmful to pets and animals, as well as appliances and plumbing systems since it replaces the unwanted chemicals in the water it filters with sodium which is a corrosive substance. Carbon on the other hand does not replace the water with anything, it only absorbs unwanted chemicals and though it is expensive at first installment, it is easy to maintain.

Another home water purification system is UV water purifiers. Ultraviolet lamps produce UV-C which radiation much stronger than sunlight. These kill any unwanted biological contaminants such as bacterias and viruses found in water. It does not however filter chemicals and other heavy materials so it does not provide full filter action. That is why most UV water purifiers are systems containing the UV lamp in combination with other filtration systems.

Of all home water purification systems, reverse osmosis water purification system is the most effective system available today. Also known as hyper-filtration, it removes, eliminates and reduces a wide array of contaminants. It is the most common treatment technology used by premium water bottle companies. In reverse osmosis water purification system, a semi permeable membrane is used to filter contaminants from the water. It is a thin film with small pores that allow water molecules to pass through leaving contaminant molecules which are too big to fit through the pores behind. Quality reverse osmosis uses a system that allows the membrane to clean itself continually while filtering water. This is done by a 2^nd route through which the water can flow rather than being filtered, this carries the contaminants away from the pores down the drain where they can be further treated. A reverse osmosis water purification system requires a driving force that pushes the liquid through the membrane, this is usually the pressure provided by a standard residential water system; -40 psi+.

Can you afford to buy home water purification systems that give you soft, clean, uncontaminated water? Maybe the more important question is can you afford not to. In today’s world when clean water is becoming more important to our well being, water treatment systems go a long way to providing benefits that would keep us from spending too much on doctor visits. These systems are more inexpensive than you might imagine and they will save you hundreds in maintenance by extending the lives of your pipes while at the same time giving you pure and healthy drinking water.

Very interesting video. Its inevitable that mankind would somehow evolve in such a technological manner as to merely just want information and it reveals itself, as to merely just think about doing something and its done. For example, if you want to move a bottle of water from point A to point B in a table, your thoughts send signals to your arms (the machine) and your arms do the moving. But what if you just have to think about it, and it moves by itself? or what about walking into a dark room and wanting the lights on, it automatically switches on (we already have the clap-on lights, how many more steps to mental responsitivity). What if we had the technology to recognize our wants, to know what is the best for us as individuals, to be-able to tap into our deepest thoughts and desires, things that we aren’t even conscious of, then bring that out into the physical world.
I mean seriously somehow, someway this thing, this form of change will happen, be it through technological progress or mental (humans use less than 30% of their brain power). In other words, a bus operator sees a potential passenger (due to the fact that a person is standing by the sidewalk in front of a bus stop sign). The operator processes all this information, and comes to a conclusion that the guy wants to get in. He stops the bus and the person walks in, all done without even saying a single word. So taking the whole bus as one big machine (including the driver), the passenger stopped the bus just by standing at the sidewalk by the bus stop sign. Its happening all around us, on top of that the bus operator just had to press a button to open the door. Imagine this button was in the mind, and for every single button that we use right now, in your cellphone, the car, the remote control, the keyboards in your laptop….what endless possibilities would we have.

You can also approach this whole thing from another perspective. Lets take mind reading for example. Every day in our conversations, we most surely at least once read the mind of the person we talk to. Sometimes we even know what they’re about to say, and say it to ourselves, anticipation or human instinct? Who knows. Isn’t that something? In a bar or a club or just anywhere public, you see this really good looking girl, checking you out. Gestures and facial expressions, all without using a single word, she “tells”  you that she likes you. The economy is moving from responsibility to convenience. Like what Patty Maes said, most of us would rather pick the tissue with most bleach than the one that was more economically responsible. What if speaking is not the most convenient thing anymore. My point is that prehistoric animals developed legs to walk on land, blind fishes produced off-springs that had eyes when they started living in the light. Wouldn’t it be so convenient as to just have a conversation without saying a single word? Wouldn’t it be so convenient as to just let the world around you move a certain way, act a certain action, as you think, watch and sit back…

Let’s look at the hypothesis of the movie– The world we’re ‘IN’ now is NOT REAL, its just a virtual world and we’re all plugged to some kind of network system sending electrical signals to our brain causing us to interpret these signals in a way that we feel and sense everything around us as if they were REAL.

So when you first watched this movie…besides the action, the drama, the thriller and so on. What was that single outstanding thing that struck you the most? The question that we would ask ourselves , if not never, from time to time, after having watched this movie……………

………..IS THIS WORLD (at present) REAL? It is the DOUBT that was stirred in each of us. This doubt was due to the fact that we can relate to the movie, somehow, there’s this possible involvement that we feel towards the idea, since NEO was just any ordinary person, just like you and me living a normal life.

This would then lead us to start DOUBTING the authenticity of this reality that we live in…am I right?? and don’t say you never ever even thought of doubting the “realness” of this world after watching the movie..DONT DENY IT! (if anyone did not doubt then you simply did not understand the concept of the movie).

So having said all this…Wow! Can all this then be possible?

Is there any way we can know for SURE that the theory in matrix isn’t real? And that we aren’t all in this VIRTUAL world created by AI machines, used as “Human batteries”???? Well yea you can argue that there’s no “NEO” or “MORHPEUS” to have ever lived and that nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened throughout history and that this idea of a MATRIX is just a movie, a “science fiction speculation”. But the idea itself, not needing obvious evidence such as a flying man, or bullet dodging person, already forces many philosophers to reconsider.

Some people actually suggest that this is a hypothesis that we ought to take with some seriousness. In fact many philosophers of today agree that it is very difficult, almost impossible to differentiate the simulated world from the real world…

Think about it for a second…the world already is advanced in Virtual Technology. Simulated games are everywhere!! SIM CITY…SIMS, FLIGHT simulator…in fact almost every game in any console provide a sense of simulation where the fuel that drives people to play games is the sense of being someone else that’s not REAL, that’s simulated.

According to David Chalmers(one of the top philosophers), the rate in which technology is developing in the world, in about 100 or 200 years time, simulation would be everywhere and every individual will have a simulated universe in his computer, probably a game/program invented by then, and each of this simulated universes is going to simulate everything in the real world, people and their actions, even THINKING!! and the MIND will be simulated. Then you start to think…if there are billions of simulated universes being run on computers (similar to the MATRIX)..then there should be billions of billions of billions of simulated people in the Universe (space and time). Maybe a few 5-6 billion un-simulated people exists (current human population is 6 billion) of…but what are the odds that your one of the “LUCKY ONES” to be in a simulated world right now? A probability that is extremely high!

Ask yourself, What are the odds? because there are billions of matrix (simulated) worlds…but just one real world…

How awesome is that?

At first you’d think that that’s one cool baby, but turns out, the parents taught the baby this survival technique. Lessons are provided by experts in the field.

It is amazing how in just have a century (around 5000 days) mankind’s technology have evolved into what we now know as the Internet. Almost every sort of information based research or social networking depend on the web. Imagine your life without it….

Friends For Sale Mania!

Almost all my friends in facebook use Friends For Sale, I use Friends For Sale, and if you know what’s Friends For Sale or have heard about it, you probably use it too.

First off, What is Friends For Sale?

Its a facebook application that allows you to buy friends and random people at a given value. After owning them (dubbed as PETS), you can get them to do “work” to other people. You start with some cash and from there you go on a Human-shopping spree. Sounds simple yea?…boring?

But that doesn’t explain why so many people use it. People even spend money on it, i mean real money, to get “cash”, so they can buy more “pets”.

As ridiculous as it may sound, theres more to it than just buying people. As you buy more pets and they are bought from you, you get profit, more money, more pets. On the other hand, as people buy you, your value goes up. Right now i cost about $40,000,000! On top of that, im $150,000,000 richer! Sounds cool doesnt it? Well thats the whole point. Its about your status, how many pets you own, and how rich you are to own pets that others treasure.

Now for the frequent FFS users, here are a few tips to increase your value and cash..

• Make sure your profile pic stands out. Sometimes a pic with high contrast should do the trick. If not you can always show off that ripped body of yours, with the 6-pack abs and the curvy shape of that foxy body.
• Start buying friends that know alot of people and are constant users of FFS. This will make sure that you get your money back (with profit).
• Make friends in FFS. Comment on other FFS profiles with compliments or simply just ask them straight out to buy you and you would buy them.
• Always go for the cheap pets. The more pets you have, the better are your chances of gaining profit.

Yes its a Battle! Facebook being a social network, alot of users have family, friends, and people that they like, dislike, and like very much. If I buy your Girlfriend in FFS, you better have enough money to buy her back. Otherwise, she belongs to me!

Roy Nelson Vs Kimbo Slice

Kimbo Slice was a disappoinment, and on top of that, the fashion in which he was beaten made it worse. Roy Nelson won not by submission, or by knockout, but by his huge-ass belly.

In a “Crucifix” position, where the fighter is pinned by the legs and one arm of the opponent, Slice was under alot of weight. With a free arm, Nelson pounded away on Slice’s head, while Kimbo as if unconcious, layed on the mat taking them.

Kimbo Slice is a fighter (if you don’t believe me watch all his videos in youtube), but what separates a fighter from an Ultimate Fighter is the technicality of the sport. MMA (mixed martial arts) involves alot of skills incorporated from different fighting practices, and Slice lost because he simply couldn’t put up a guard againt’s Nelson’s mounts. If he had learned a bit of juijitsu (submission fighting style) and wrestling, he could have beaten Roy Nelson within the first round of the match.

Nelson, tired and happy asks Dana White (President of UFC) to get him a “Whopper”, the burger only “fit for a king”, while Slice in disappoinment announced his return to be other than a ridiculous loss.
