Why “Mind” and “Brain” Are Not  Interchangeable Terms!

Understanding the parameters of quantum physics as a layman is something I’ve devoted a lifetime to, so – I’m not even close to comprehending all of the factors involved in the details.

Thus I have relied on the expertise of authors like Kip Thorne, Fred Wolf, Gary Zukav, Alan Watts and many others whom I’ve read and re-read extensively to provide me with perspectives on what it all means. Through them I’ve seen a spectrum of Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Einstein, Bohr, Wheeler, Hawking and a smattering of other physicists and gleaned their conclusions, which are in disagreement.

Because of its philosophical ramifications, and because more people I respect lean this way than others, I have chosen the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum theory (over the Copenhagen) as my model for the backdrop of Otherearths. This requires a certain consistency within the creations based on seven effects bridging the micro and macro realities. These seven effects make anything you find on this website actually possible, despite fantastic appearances to the contrary, far as I’m concerned.

The diagram above illustrates the components comprising consciousness.

I guess we can call this graphic quantum fiction, quantum theory plus relativity, a specialty branch of science fiction that follows its own rules (that may just be the rules of the “Omniverse” – a term describing the infinity of all universes). I consult very closely with a licensed psychologist regarding the brain, perception, and possibly related mental health issues involving parallel reality crossovers. And it ain’t covered by insurance.

So Otherearths are coming… (as a true believer might expect!) – SMG

The 5 Greatest Foods You"ve Never Heard Of - http://clapway.com/2015/10/12/foods-adventure123/

To travel on an adventure around the world has many perks. You get to experience a new area in its entirety. It isn’t right to live a full life without experiencing a new adventure; there is much to see outside of the culture you’ve grown accustomed to living in. Go somewhere fresh, a place where everything is new and unique, the language, the style of buildings, the landscape, and most importantly, the food.

Here are some tips on the foods you have to try during your adventure.

1. Feijoada in Brazil
One of the heartiest stews on the planet boasting a prime selection of meat served with rice and collard greens on the side.  If you happen to find yourself in Brazil, be sure to ask around to find the greatest Feijoada in the area.

2. Neapolitan Pizza in Italy
Pizza is the greatest food on earth, even bad pizza is still good pizza. You cannot consider yourself a pizza connoisseur until you have tried a Neapolitan pizza in the country it originated in.

3. Meat Pies in Britain
Cheers to hoping this fad catches on in America. Steak, sausage, and beef, delicious, let us just think of name that makes it sound a bit more appetizing.

4. Varenyky in Ukraine and Russia
I need to try this, verenyky is a dumpling filled with mashed potato, meat, sauerkraut or cheese. The outside is then coated with salo (cured bacon fat) and onions. That list of ingredients could make even the driest mouth of a grandmother moist like a humid jungle.

5. Causa in Peru
That verenyky has got me thinking about potatoes. If you find yourself on an adventure in Peru, try some causa. It’s a mashed potato CAKE, often stuffed with avocado, tuna, egg and shrimp.

Happy birthday.

It is important for your taste buds to experience adventure as well. Every culture is different; some places in the world enjoy a pig’s intestine while other grill savory bugs fit for consumption. That’s just the way it is there, it’s the social norm. I hope I educated you a bit and inspired you to try something new for the next time you find yourself in a foreign country.

"Bringing these gadgets to travel with you on your adventures will break any cultural or language barrier, while boredom and fatal signs of caffeine withdrawal can be resolved in minutes." - http://clapway.com/2015/06/21/the-best-gadgets-to-travel-with-this-summer/

To me, the concept of travelling is one big oxymoron. On the one hand, it is fun. Going away anywhere new brings out that inner childlike excitement in me, a sense of adventure and occasionally, relaxation. However, this ideal notion of rest and de – stressing never normally lasts. Getting lost in East Harlem, ordering the wrong drink as a result of my bad French accent and being unable to contact anyone unless I am near a wifi friendly zone are just some of the first world problems I have recently faced on my travels. To make my life a little easier from now on, and yours too, I have come up with a list of life-changing (at times also saving) gadgets to travel with on my next get away:

iTranslate

We have all been there (I hope it’s not just me). Mispronouncing a word, nodding ferociously at anyone conversing with you (hoping they aren’t secretly telling you that you are weird) or ending up with Snail Pie after politely pointing at an exotic sounding dish from the menu. Now, thanks to iTranslate, language barriers can be broken. Free to download on Itunes, this app will translate words, phrases and text in over 90 languages.

Apple Airport Express

Want wifi? Check. Need to print your boarding pass? Check. Want to listen to your music through speakers? Go on then. The multi functional Apple Airport Express certainly knows how to spoil you. Allowing you to print wirelessly, share photos and manage your very own wifi network. What’s better, is that this device is just $99. Those airport waits are about to get a whole lot more fun.

Wacaco Minipresso

Travelling is tiring and sometimes you need the help of caffeine to get you through to the end of the day. Spending money in coffee shops can be expensive and depending where you are, they might be few and far between. The Wacaco Minipresso is a hand operated, compact espresso machine that is small enough to carry around in your bag and take out after your next energy slump.

Scrubba

If you are going to be backpacking around Europe this summer, you will be having to limit what you take. However, what happens when it comes to running out of clean clothes? Scrubba is a compact wash bag that allows you to wash your clothes wherever you are. What’s better, is that you can dry them too. Who needs a washing machine?

Satechi Smart Travel Router

I have lost count of the number of plug adaptors I have collected in the past few years. If you are unlikely to travel back to that country in the near future, it can lead to an expensive investment. This smart Satechi Smart Travel Router adapts to fit the most common plug configurations in one small, neat cube. Result – a fully charged phone to entertain me at the bus stop.

Bringing these gadgets to travel with you on your adventures will break any cultural or language barrier, while boredom and fatal signs of caffeine withdrawal can be resolved in minutes. Compact, light and forward thinking, these gadgets will send you back from your holiday as relaxed as when you arrived.

The Best Gadgets To Travel With This Summer

"In the morning, you wake up and wonder if it was all a dream. Your roommates tell you that no, it in fact was not. Then, your crappy Italian cell phone pings." - http://clapway.com/2015/06/15/fire-and-ice-an-italian-love-story/

Falling in love in Italy is every girl’s dream, right? It is the adventure of a lifetime. We willingly let our imaginations travel into the unknown experience of what falling in love with an Italian will be like. Well, unfortunately, if you’re not careful, it can go downhill fast.

At first, you’re having innocent fun. You go to a bar without any intention on falling in love. You have a few drinks with your best friends, travel companions and random hostel acquaintances. Pretty soon, the wine is going to your head and men worthy of falling in love with are everywhere.

Italian men are nothing if not passionate. They are just as set on falling in love as you probably are; except to them, love means more than a one night stand.

You see him; he sees you; your eyes meet; and, cue the fireworks. Amidst the music, the summer heat, and the atmosphere your bodies are drawn toward one another, like cheese is to wine; you know you were meant to be, even if it’s just for the night.

“Hello,” he says in his sexy, sultry, Italian accent. He also tells you his name, but you can’t remember how to pronounce it. He buys you another drink, one that you don’t need, and you start dancing. No one else matters because you are falling in love; that’s what you tell yourself at least.

The night progresses way too fast, and before you know it the bar is closing down. At this point, you both are glued to each other and have no intention on letting go. He walks you outside and before you know it, he is kissing you. He kisses your neck, your lips, and your collarbone. His hands wander everywhere, and he has no regard for the fact that you are in a public square, surrounded by cobblestone roads and various couples.

You manage to breathe while he tells you he wants to see you again tomorrow. Eagerly, you nod your head and reach for your cheap Italian cell phone. You put in his number, then call him to make sure he has yours. Your friends spot you and drag you away, leaving you to the comfort and safety of your warm sheets, dreaming of your Italian love.

In the morning, you wake up and wonder if it was all a dream. Your roommates tell you that no, it in fact was not. Then, your crappy Italian cell phone pings.

“I can’t wait to see you tonight,” the message reads. Even over text you can imagine his sexy Italian accent. And you spend all day waiting for the night to come so you can sneak back to your Italian love.

Moleskine Voyageur Connects Travelers Around The World - http://clapway.com/2015/06/11/moleskine-voyageur-connects-travelers-around-the-world123/

Very few people leave a country and return the same person. Yes, I know. This is probably one of the most cliché things to say about travel; yet, somehow it still remains one of the biggest understatements of the year. Moleskine, the company known for its notebooks, planners and other sketchbooks, has emphasized this point over and over again. Since 1997, Moleskine has reminded us of the beauty of travel, going back to the “days of the great travellers of the nineteenth century” for inspiration. Now, it’s our turn. What memories do we capture and share with each other as modern travellers? Whatever they may be, the Moleskine Voyageur Traveller’s notebook provides a way for you to record them down.

What Is The Moleskine Voyageur Traveller’s Notebook?

The Moleskine Voyageur Traveller’s notebook is a sketchpad, organizer and planner all in one. The canvas cover ensures that it is durable, yet lightweight and portable for travel. But besides portability, what makes the Voyageur any different from any other notebook you can find online or in a store?

Check out our video review of the Moleskine Voyageur notebook here. Subscribe for updates on the latest technology and reviews:

Well, as the name suggests, it is designed for travellers. It features all three Moleskine paper types: ruled (for taking notes), plain (for sketches, drawings, etc.) and dotted. It also includes perforated and detachable checklists, which make it easy for travellers to stay organized.

Perhaps the coolest and most innovative feature of the notebook, however, is that it “fits seamlessly into your digital lifestyle.” For example, if you happen to run out of pages, you can easily print out more via the myMoleskine website. In fact, you can even print out your itineraries or any other content from any URL in the exact dimensions of the Voyageur. After doing so, all you have to do is paste them into the book.

As a way to connect travelers all over the world, the Voyageur is also one component in a large collaborative project, which features a Flickr gallery and an interactive map. After purchasing a Voyageur notebook, users can participate in the project by removing the notebook’s paperband, which says “I Am Here” on its back. Travelers can then take photos with this piece of paper and share it with the world, using the #m_iamhere hashtag. By doing so, modern day travelers can easily connect with one another. After all, unforgettable memories are meant to be shared and saved.

"A little known fact: In Italy, the wine is cheaper than the water." - http://clapway.com/2015/06/09/florence-travel-on-a-budget/

Travel to another country can be the adventure of a lifetime. It is exciting, full of new experiences and often, exhilarating. Unfortunately, adventure, travel and experiences cost money; if you are traveling overseas, it’ll often cost a lot of it.

Italy, specifically Florence, is no exception. Airfare alone can cost up to more than €1.000. But, once you’re there, rest assured as you can survive on less than €20 a day. You can have your travel adventure on a budget without worrying about the implications it will have on your credit score.

Follow these guidelines for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you can have a book full of memories, a photo album full of travel adventures and a bank statement that doesn’t make you want to throw up:

Eat Breakfast in a café

Italy is famous for its dark roasted café and scrumptious pastries. Visit any tabacchi, an Italia bodega, and you can get a café Americano for €1 . To any travel enthusiast this is a steal, especially when Americans pay roughly $4 at coffee chains *cough *cough Starbucks…. The croissants are a delicious and delectable way to start the day, too! They can come as simple as plain, or as complex as chocolate hazelnut and range from €1 – €3.

At lunch order a café panini or do it yourself!

In Florence, paninis reign supreme, especially if you visit Gusta Panini in Santo Spirito. You can get a delectable panini for less than €5. Eat it on the steps of Santo Spirito, and you have an experience unlike any other!

If you don’t want to dine on a sandwich every day, then head to one of the many fresh markets. The markets alone provide an incredible experience. Visit the market, grab fresh, homegrown tomatoes and mozzarella di buffalo, throw in some basalmic vinegar and make yourself a caprese salad! In total this will cost you anywhere from €5 – €10. The best part about buying from the market is the price is unbeatable, plus you usually have enough for two or three days worth of lunches! If you travel in summer, you can also pick up some fresh watermelon and asparagus!

Have an apertivo or share a pizza for dinner!

Pizza is a must when traveling to Florence. You usually can only buy it by the slice in a café, not in a pizzeria. If you decide to opt for the pizzeria, you can definitely split it with a friend, or two. If you are feeling famished you can definitely buy a whole pizza pie for yourself. Pizzas range from €1 for a café slice or €2 – €5 depending on what pizzeria you go to. If you split them, the cost is considerably less!

Apertivo is a Florentine staple. It’s like happy hour, only better. You buy a drink, and an entire buffet of food is available to you for the next two hours! Usually apertivo happens around 7:00 p.m. and lasts until 9:00 p.m., and practically every bar in Florence participates. So, grab your friends, order a drink for €6 and load your plate!

Skip the water; order the wine!

A little known fact: In Italy, the wine is cheaper than the water. It is possible to get an entire bottle of wine for €2. If you go to a local wine shop, you can get a bottle for €1. Talk about a steal! As an added bonus, Italy has no open container laws. So, grab a bottle, grab a pizza, grab your friends (or not), and perch yourself on Arno River for an evening of people watching and bliss. If you are dining in a restaurant, split a carafe of wine. The cost will range from €3 – €5 a person, and it is a much better deal!

Eating good food in Florence is not impossible to do on a budget. If you seek out the local shops and restaurants anything is possible! Save your money on every day food, so you can splurge on museums, a nice restaurant or extra gelato in the future. You will have the adventure of a lifetime and plenty of experiences to fill any photo album.

Florence: Travel on a Budget

The Original Penny Skateboard | Gear Review - http://clapway.com/2014/10/07/original-penny-skateboard-gear-review/

According to Ben Mackay, the founder of Penny Skateboards, skateboarding can be “terrifying”, “exhilarating” and blissful all at the same time. I couldn’t agree more. Eager for adventure and the “wind in your hair” feeling, I purchased my very own Penny board  a couple of weeks ago. The little plastic board, which comes in a range of colors and styles, has now become my faithful traveling companion being portable, durable and not to mention, stylish.

Check out our video review of the Penny Skateboard here:

I purchased mine in a lemony pastel color, with light, purplish wheels, but Penny offers so much variety, I was anxious trying pick THE board for me. If you can’t roll with the pastel series, try the fluorescents, marbles or even the customizable option. If you’re also feeling particularly festive, there’s a holiday series and a special 4^th of July board, boasting patriotic red, whites and blues.

In terms of features, the board comes in two sizes: the Nickel (27”) and the Original (22”). I will be focusing on the 22-incher. Generally, these boards range from $100.00 to $120.00 a pop (up to $150.00 for the Nickel), but are well worth the money. Despite being made of plastic, the board is definitely durable and made from high quality materials. In fact, it’s much heavier and thicker than I expected it to be, but still lightweight in general. It’s small enough to carry with you anywhere, and fits conveniently in a large backpack (although some bigger footed people might want to consider the 27”).

But how does it perform?

Amazingly, the board performs superbly – it’s not all looks. Because of its size, the cruiser manages to pick up a lot of speed and provides a smooth, fun ride. Just make sure to be wary of cracks in the pavement, especially if you’re an urbanite, like me. I’ve had some nasty falls, but I don’t blame the board, as much as I blame my lack of coordination and timing. Because it’s also meant to be a cruiser, it might be a little more difficult to perform tricks (due to limited foot room), but don’t be discouraged. It’s still definitely possible and doable.

I don’t blame you if you suddenly feel like a badass after stepping onto one of these bad boys.

4 Essential travel tips to survive in Vietnam - http://clapway.com/2015/06/05/4-essential-travel-tips-to-survive-in-vietnam/

When planning to travel to a foreign country, especially one with a culture very different to the one you’re used to, there are two things you’ve got to keep in mind. The first and foremost is how to survive, if you haven’t got this part down before you travel, needless to say it’s not going to be the greatest trip. The second, only to be considered once the first is assured, is how to make the most of your adventure. Next week I’ll be posting an article about this latter aspect, but for now, here are 4 things you need to know to survive in Vietnam.

 

Walking across the road is more difficult than you’d think

In the big cities of Vietnam, such as Hanoi, there is only one rule to the roads, that there are no rules. Hundreds of Mopeds, tuk-tuks and buses flood through the city’s roads, a vehicular torrent splashing across the hot concrete. If you try waiting on the sidewalk for the cars to stop, you may be there for several decades. However there is one method which’ll help you survive in Vietnam. Once you’ve taken a step off that sidewalk, just walk at a consistent pace and don’t stop! Whilst the drivers might not stop for you, they will adjust their speed based on how fast you’re walking. Despite the flashes of colour dashing either side of you, just keep moving and you’ll be fine.

 

Leave the kitchen sink at home

I learnt this the hard way last year. I packed a huge hiking bag, filled with a Gatsby-amount of shirts, a plethora of shorts and a luxuriously thick sleeping bag. This wasn’t the greatest idea, as sometimes you are dropped off far away from the location you’re staying at. Suddenly, what could have been a pleasant walk through the beautiful Vietnamese countryside, amongst the tweets of its indigenous birds, is transformed into something entirely different. Your vision of the trees becomes blurred by pouring sweat, and the birdcalls are obscured by the sound of loud panting. Now yes, this might seem a bit drastic, but it is a realistic possibility, which can be avoided if you’d like to survive in Vietnam. First of all, in almost all of the areas you can travel to washing will be available for your clothes, which will cost about 2 dollars for an entire load. In the rural areas where there is no washing, it’s probably okay if you smell just a little for a couple of days. A sleeping bag is definitely unnecessary, it’s so hot there that you don’t need anything so warm. I’d recommend a thin cover or blanket and say you do feel chilly one night whilst staying in a hostel, owners are normally more than happy to provide extra sheets.

 

You are a walking dollar sign

Even though poverty rates in Vietnam have been declining for the past few decades, as a Westerner travelling there, you’re often in a much more privileged position than the locals you meet. But what does this mean for you? It means that at times you might feel the people you meet are being a bit pushy when trying to sell you their goods, or a little repetitive when asking if you’d like a tuk-tuk ride. But just go into your Zen place and keep your cool, remember these people are simply trying to make a living. For the same reason, try not to haggle too much when perusing the many eclectic markets you’ll encounter during your adventure. The amount of money a snickers bar might cost you at home, could be enough to sustain a Vietnamese family for an entire day.

 

Always carry toilet roll… Seriously

Now anyone who has ever travelled into a different culinary culture is likely to put this at the top of their lists on how to survive in a foreign country. The quality and hygiene of the food across Vietnam can vary greatly, and unfortunately it is often the most unhygienic places where you get the greatest tasting food. For example, when I was in Hanoi for several weeks last year, I was desperately searching for a true taste of the city’s famous delicacy, a noodle soup called pho. I had tried several restaurants but didn’t feel like I’d hit the mark. The most popular places with the locals were these kitchens that opened up onto the street, surrounded by small green and red plastic stools. At night such venues were thriving, so I resolved to check one of them out. And wow, it was without doubt the best pho I’d ever had. The noodles were perfect and the spices were numerous. I slept that night feeling I had cracked the code. I mean sure the menu didn’t specify what kind of meat was in the pho, and sure it didn’t look like the cleanest place ever but hey, exploring the unknown is what travelling is all about… Oh, how naïve. The next day I took a 4 hour coach journey with some newly made friends to Haolong Bay (A place that’ll feature in next week’s article). There I was, dreaming of my wondrous meal the night before, and then suddenly I no longer had to imagine. Now there is no need for detail here, but let’s just say those new friendships were tested, and the situation was not made better by the lack of toilet roll in every service we stopped at. So if you’ve taken anything from this list, please take this advice and also some toilet roll with you when you next wish to survive in Vietnam.

So there we have it. 4 tips to ensure you survive in Vietnam, tune in next week to check out tips on how to make the most of your Vietnamese trip!

4 Essential travel tips to survive in Vietnam

Respect the bison at Yellowstone National Park. - http://clapway.com/2015/06/04/u-s-animal-attacks-at-yellowstone-123/

Animal attacks have been no stranger to the headlines this past month. Bears were chasing runners and coyotes were running wild in New York City. But now, tourists are getting more than they bargained for when visiting some of the more famous wildlife hotspots.

The Threat of Animal Attacks at Yellowstone

In the United States, Yellowstone National Park is alive with wild animals, including bison. Unfortunately, taking pictures of the wildlife can lead to an unwanted adventure. Twice in the last month, bison have attacked tourists trying to snap that perfect shot. Most recently in animal attacks, a bison charged at a 62-year-old Australian when he got too close. The man was taking pictures of the bison, which triggered the bison’s instincts. The bison charged at the man and tossed him in the air. According to a press release sent out by Yellowstone National Park, the main sustained several injuries, but they were not life threatening.

Respect The Animals at Yellowstone National Park

Bison are a lot larger, and more aggressive, than one might originally think. A male weighs around 2,000 pounds, while a female weighs around 1,100pounds. They might look cute, but they are agile and aggressive. Bison can run as fast as 30 miles an hour, and attacks can be deadly.

When tourists descend on the bison, they can become more edgy and unpredictable than when left alone. Unfortunately, some tourists don’t respect the boundaries of the bison and hoard around them, harassing them for the perfect photo.

In Time For Summer, Yellowstone’s Warnings to Visitors

Park authorities encourage tourists to keep a safe distance between them and the bison. They recommend visitors maintain a distance of at least 75 feet to ensure safety. Just because the bison are in a national park, doesn’t mean they are tame creatures.

Although this isn’t the first animal attack at Yellowstone National Park this season, they are typically uncommon occurrences. Park rangers don’t want to discourage tourists and visitors from experiencing the natural beauty of the park, but they want to impress upon tourists the importance of respecting the animals and their wildlife.

It can be tempting to get a close-up picture, but the only way to ensure animal attacks don’t happen is to be smart and respect boundaries.

Pit Stop -- A Day in Brussels - http://clapway.com/2015/05/19/pit-stop-a-day-in-brussels/

One of my favourite things about living in London, is having Europe at my door step. After returning from Australia for a two week holiday, my feet were still itching and I couldn’t seem to shake the urge to get away again and discover more of Europe. With prior commitments and very limited funds, I knew I couldn’t go away for long. I wanted to go somewhere I had never been and I wanted to do it cheap. I jumped onto my favourite budget bus website, www.megabus.com and did a quick search for overnight buses. Belgium, Brussels was the top of the list and leaving that evening for a very reasonable price. A day in Brussels? Sounds perfect to me.

Although I had very little time in Brussels itself, I managed to experience a lot of Belgium’s culture. Planning on spending a day in Brussels? Check out my 5 recommendations for spending your day well in Brussels.

A DAY IN BRUSSELS

1. 
    Marvel at the beauty of Brussels ‘Grand Place’.
   
   The Grand Place is the town’s centre of Brussels. Walk down the narrow European allies to discover The Grand Square, home to Town Hall, Guild Halls, restaurants and of course, chocolate shops. There is no denying why tourists flock to this square for photographs and to explore. The buildings are beautiful and the atmosphere of the square is lively and gives you a great taste of Belgium.


2. 
    Indulge in a tradition Belgium Waffle
   It is essential, if you are spending a day in Brussels, that you find a waffle house and enjoy all the toppings. Even if Waffles are not on your agenda, it will be impossible to avoid temptation. With every turn, you will discover another store that is selling waffles and become overwhelmed by the delicious smells drawing you in. Note: You will be tempted to opt for the 1euro waffle, sold at every corner. However, i highly suggest you pay the little extra and get yourself a fresh waffle at a waffle house
   
   


3. 
   Spot a familiar face–the lovable Tin Tin
   Yes, Brussels is not only known for its delicious food but the home of loveable cartoon character, Tin Tin. Depending on how much of a fan you are, brussels provides you with multiple options. For those ‘Tin Tin’ fans, learn about the comic book reporter, at the Musée Hergé or simply keep your eyes pealed as you walk around the city for Tin Tin murals. We saw a fantastic mural just by The Grand Place and Manneken Pis statue.
   Note: If you’re interested in comic culture, Brussels is the place for you. I ran out of time but would have loved to visit the Belgian comic strip centre.
   
   


4. 
   Visit a chocolate store and leave with your hands full.
   We all know Belgium is famous for Chocolate. Make sure you visit a few chocolate stores along the way while roaming the streets of Brussels. I took the time to visit several chocolate stores along the way, my favourite was located in The Grand Place. I loved watching through the window as the chef carefully coated strawberries in fresh belgiam chocolate, mmmm, if thats not enough to make your mouth water, I don’t know what is.
   
   


5. 
   Get lost as you wander through the allies of Brussels.
   I spent majority of my time, simply wandering and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I saw so much of the city by taking a few wrong turns and ending up in places i wasn’t intending. Fear not, it is easy enough to find your way back to where you need to be, so let go and get lost for a while. Catch site of the Cathedrial of St Micheal and Gaulda, Manneken pis (you’ll see this everywhere and trust me, it will catch your attention), The Atoium, BELvue, Music Instrument museum and much, much more.
