This is just my Thoughts about our own world and as a species, For so long we Humans fought each other and have been corrupted with Greed and Sins,

So I think to myself why do we kill our own Brothers and Sisters, our own flesh, blood, and DNA, WE are Humans and still we cheat, we steal, we kill only for our own needs and wants.

Hello Pippsqueaks. It’s your favourite princess here. I’m taking over Pineta’s blog this week.

This time I won’t be talking about my new songs or hot news from the palace. You can find that on my usual channel. Today I’m going to talk about the sparkling science of luminescence.

Here’s a question for all you clever writers who have studied literature, read books on how to write fiction, and enjoy correcting the rest of us about points of style:

Can you change the narrative point of view in the middle of a story?

It's time we had a science lesson from Applejack...

“So in this field we have McIntosh, Golden Russet, Redstreak, Macoun and Ashmead's Kernel. Then down in the south orchard we keep Granny Smith, Westfield Seek-No-Further, Flower of Kent, Tremlett's Bitter...”

A key concept in Daring Do and the Inexplicable Artifact is the idea of the Conservation of Magical Energy. In the story Daring Do and Twilight Sparkle reason that the inexplicable artifact is inexplicable because it is absorbing enormous amounts of magic, apparently without doing anything. It isn’t actually written anywhere that magic works this way, but readers intuitively pick up that it

Has anyone else suffered from laryngitis? It really is a very annoyingly frustrating thing to get. You don’t actually feel too bad, just like a mild cold. Except you can’t talk. Trying to do so just hurts your throat. And there’s nothing you can do except wait for it to get better. This means you have to cancel lectures, teaching, meetings, just about everything where you need to interact with other people. And it always seems to strike just when you are really busy with lots of things you

Let’s end this discussion once and for all. 
It has been a debate for a long time when it should not be. 
George Lucas has described Star Wars as a ‘Space Fantasy’

Unrelated, I'm still alive and tomorrow have an appmt to potentially start ECT treatment. Hooves crossed they approve and it helps.

So I've been working on something. It's not quite there yet, but it's getting there. It needs some love, some upgrades, and maybe some bionic enhancements. But it's going to get there.

My first time through Skyrim was without any of the DLC, and I lost interest and drifted away from it. However, last summer I got myself the GotY version, and I've recently started playing again.

And since people will ask...

I smiled at Maud Pie, wanting to start a conversation and make friends. “So... what is it that you do exactly, on your rock science research trips?”

Maud thought over the question before answering accurately. “We drill holes in the ground, and extract a core sample.”

“That sounds interesting...”

“It's boring.”

Science with ponies is the game I play,
And today it is 'Type Like Zecora day',
So I can't resist the silly new game,
To write a short post with this curious aim.

I think the time is surely ripe,
To look at the root of a zebra stripe,
Why did these equines evolve just so,
With black and white streaks from head to toe?

A camouflage trick? Set to confuse,
Their predators by the dazzling views,
A fair guess, but it seems not quite right,

“Isn't this exciting? Are you excited? 'Cause I'm excited. It's been such a long time we've had to wait for this, and now this weekend it's finally restarting after a long break and we can look forward to so much exciting new cool stuff. I've never been so excited, well, except for the time that I...”

Apologies for not posting anything last week. I have been busy. I was in the US last week, visiting Fermilab, which was really cool, but I then had a ton of work to catch up on when I got home.

And I had to watch my new Rainbow Rocks DVD.

My verdict: It's awesome. The post-credits ending makes it 200% cooler. I particularly loved the reference to Maxwell's equations.

Did you miss it? It's here:

Now catching up with the tasks I intended to do months ago. Here is a report on the reader questionnaire for Polar Vortex. Thanks to everyone who completed that. Sorry this is a bit technical and written for science communication evaluation nerds (I have done courses on this). I’ll write something fun, with Pinkie Pie in it, next week...
