If you ever happen to be one of those people caught in a falling elevator, here's a tip; don't jump. Many people believe that jumping will lessen your impact when the elevator hits the ground, but it's actually the opposite. Unless you jump at just the right time, you can be putting yourself in even greater danger. Too soon and you'll hit the ground from higher up with a harder impact. Too late and you'll hit your head on the ceiling and end up with many more risks. The right time to jump is when you are just about to hit the ground, which has a low chance of lessening your impact. So unless you are a rocket scientist that can calculate the amount of time a 1200 KG elevator plus however much you weigh will take to fall from whatever floor you are on, you should probably just stick to the stairs.]]> 2018-03-06 17:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/238741935 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/238753244 2018-03-06 17:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/238753244 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/238755636 With a history of more than a thousand years, the Hanawa Bayashi Festival is known as one of the best music festivals in Japan.

It is believed that they must be folded in one year, and that they all must be folded by the person who hopes for their wish to come true. One well known story of this not only in Japan but worldwide is the story of Sadako Sasaki. She was exposed to radiation from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during WWII at the age of two, and soon developed leukemia. At the age of twelve she began folding the cranes. A fictionalized version of her story as told in Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes states that she only folded 644 cranes before she became too weak to fold any more and died, her family and classmates finishing the final 356 cranes. Her family says that in reality she actually was able to fold 1,000 cranes, and after her wish did not come true she continued to fold even more. She died on October 25, 1955, and a statue of her holding a crane was built in Hiroshima Peace Park.]]> 2018-03-06 17:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/238762566 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/241118951 How skewed our belief of wealth distribution in America actually is completely blows my mind.]]> 2018-03-12 20:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/241118951 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/241119935 Is there any possible and non-chaotic way to fix our wealth inequality?]]> 2018-03-12 20:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/241119935 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/241120404 How does our wealth inequality compare to other countries?]]> 2018-03-12 20:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/241120404 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/243002941 180 people in South Africa have been killed by the disease so far and it has been recorded as the worst outbreak in the world.

The act of forest bathing is to be in the presence of trees, and to basically relax without trying to accomplish anything. No fitbits, no step-counting, just some sitting or meandering as you put zero effort into letting the forest heal your mind and body.]]> 2018-03-16 20:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/243005182 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/243774469 Everyone's got an inner child, some people are just more showy about it than others.

eyelids fluttering
hands clenched
Sweat beads on my palms
and forehead
A dark image rooted in my mind,
its claws ripping into me
its teeth tearing apart my mind and body
An action over and over
the same horrible feeling
Why is this happening
Why is it always me
Why did you have to see
Why do you have to care
Why 
Why
Why
Hurting, falling, waving, crying, running, holding, disappearing
Why
Tears on my face
Why
Voices in my head
Why
A hand on my heart
Why 
Your warmth, smothering the last of mine
Why
And then I wake.
Scream.
Shake.
Cry.
Sleep.
Repeat.]]> 2018-03-23 20:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/245659003 mikaylam7813 https://padlet.com/mikaylam7813/ybwv2lqlkbr7/wish/254006310 "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."
