The world’s most-viewed pornographic website, #Pornhub, is handing out a $25,000 scholarship to help students with #college #education. - http://clapway.com/2015/09/03/pornhub-cares-scholarship-090/

Pornhub, the world’s most-viewed pornographic website, is handing out a $25,000 scholarship to help students with college education. Porn doesn’t seem to be the criterion for evaluation of applications. Instead, applicants will be partially judged on a homemade video addressing the question ”How do you strive to make others happy?”


PORNHUB OFFERS PHILANTHROPIC SCHOLARSHIP


Pornhub enjoys a whopping 78.9 billion views every year, receives generous donations, and has been involved in hosting charity events. Dubbed the Pornhub Cares Scholarship, this initiative is an effort to give back to society by helping fund higher education for students. Acknowledging that the scholarship could fuel controversy, Corey Price, the vice president of Pornhub, told The Washington Post that, “if you’re against pornography and an anti-pornography crusader, this is probably not the scholarship for you.” He added that although a participant need not make a porn video to have a chance at winning, at least a neutral stance on porn is required, if not wholehearted support.

PORNHUB SCHOLARSHIP PREREQUISITES


Currently enrolled college or graduate students with GPA 3.2 or higher can apply to the scholarship. They would need to submit their official transcripts and an essay addressing “How do you strive to make others happy?”. A 2 to 5 minute video is also required as part of the application, which would be posted publicly. The contest closes on October 31; Winners will be chosen based on their creativity, leadership, and community involvement. The scholarship is a serious endeavor and separate from the pornographic focus of the website. In fact, videos featuring sexually explicit content “will not be seriously considered”, according to Price.


SCHOLARSHIP RECEIVES FLAK FROM WOMENS’ ORGANIZATIONS


Despite the benevolent assertions of this venture, this has created quite an uproar amongst women’s organizations and feminist groups. It has been viewed as a ploy targeted at young women struggling with the costs of higher education, or even an ingenious marketing gimmick zeroing in on a vulnerable demographic. Controversies notwithstanding, it would be interesting to know how students respond to this contest.

How Can Higher Education Save Your Life? - http://clapway.com/2015/07/09/how-can-higher-education-save-your-life876/

Low levels of education are quite common in the United States, as well as all over the world. More than 10 percent of the adults between the ages of 25 and 34 who live in U.S do not have a high school degree, and this appears to be influencing their rate of mortality.


An initiative aiming to improve life in the United States was launched by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. Its goals are to increase the number of students who complete high school by the year 2020. According to the researchers, meeting these goals can have an enormous impact in increasing people’s survival rates.


Even if it might sound insane, researchers have determined that the lack of higher education can be deadly in certain situations. Yes, physical death can be linked to differences in education.


IS LACK OF higher EDUCATION DEADLY?


According to the team of researchers from the University of Colorado, New York University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who analyzed information on populations from 1925 through 2010, education can influence death rates to a staggering degree – to over one million people between the ages of 25 and 85, the lack of education is as dangerous as smoking cigarettes.


The study was published in the journal PLOS ONE and it also informs us that about 110,000 deaths could have been prevented in 2010 if adults had completed their bachelor’s degree.


WHY CAN PEOPLE WITH HIGHER EDUCATION LIVE longer lives?


People who go to high school and a university may live longer for many reasons. The only reason isn’t that they can have higher income. Their lifestyles are generally healthier, and so is their psychological well-being.


Of course, there is no definitive proof between death and education, but the higher risk of death for less educated people is undeniable. Because of their unawareness, uneducated people are more likely to suffer from a diversity of diseases and their risk of a heart problem is quite higher than expected.


The conclusion researchers offered is supporting the notion that if people who didn’t complete their higher education studies went back to school and got their diplomas, we might save an impressive number of lives.

Here are three reasons why my long distance friendships will last forever. - http://clapway.com/2015/06/25/3-reasons-why-my-long-distance-friendships-will-last-forever/

A research study, published by The Journal of Communication, not only tells us that long distance relationships can thrive, they can also be better than normal relationships.


Couples in long distance relationships have more meaningful interactions than couples that see each other on a daily basis. The minimal face-to-face time encourages lovers to utilize text messaging, video messaging, and other internet communication services. Through these conversations, partners build a stronger relationship by talking about passionate, personal, and non-typical topics. Instead of physical closeness, lovers form psychological closeness.


I think this research applies to long distance friendships as well. The love for your friends may be not be the same as the love for your partner but it is still love nonetheless. Your best friends are your real soulmates in life anyway, right? At this point in my life, I feel that my love for my friends from college remains extremely strong and we have continued to develop psychological closeness. This psychological closeness has taken time to develop and my four and a half years in college has helped solidify my unbreakable bond with my college friends. Here are three reasons why my long distance friendships will last forever:


3. Know Me Inside and Out


My college friends have seen me at my worst and have supported me at my best. They have seen me incoherent on the weekend (sometimes during the week) and can pinpoint when I’ve become completely intoxicated. They know my weaknesses and my pet peeves. They know how to make me laugh, what can make me laugh, and love the way I laugh. Our deep connections have allowed us to create inside jokes for a lifetime and to make memories that never fade. My college friends know me inside and out, and that makes my long distance friendships worth it.


2. Supported Me Like Family


I don’t even know why I used the word “like” in the subheading. My friends are family. When I would run late for work, they would pick me up, drop me off, and take me home afterwards. My friends invited me to “family dinner” because they knew that I barely had food in my refrigerator. And to wash it all down, they bought me copious amounts of alcohol. My friends supported me because that’s what families do and that is what they will continue to do throughout our long distance friendships.


1. Opened My Eyes


Going to college gave me the opportunity to meet different people from dissimilar parts of the country. Not only have I got to travel to new places, I have gotten the chance to learn from different perspectives. By meeting the parents of my college friends, I was given the chance to learn from the past and the traditions of people outside of my Southern upbringing.


No matter if you spend four, five, or six years in college, develop those meaningful friendships. You will definitely not regret it. I can tell you from experience that when you and your college friends get together after a long period of time, you will pick up where you left off. Build your psychological closeness and hang on to those long distance friendships.
