Adam Rogers on ordering a beer.

Adam Rogers on ordering a bee, PROOF: The Science of Booze

"Time stopped. The world pivoted. It seems like a small transaction - a guy walks into a bar, right? -but it is the fulcrum on which this book rests, and it is the single most important event in human history. It happens thousands of times a day around the world, maybe millions, yet it is the culmination  of human achievement, of human science and apprehension of the natural and technical world. Some archaeologists and anthropologists have argued that the production of beer induced human beings to settle down and develop permanent agriculture - to literally put down roots and cultivate grains instead of roam nomadically. The manufacture of alcohol was, arguably, the social and economic revolution that allowed Homo sapiens to become civilized human beings."

  1. I have a couple collection accounts that I wanted to get removed.. I was going through a divorce and lost track of certain bills/paper work. Also I have completed student loan rehabilitation on my six student loans that went into default. I have been making on time payments with the new provider but the old loans still remain as closed/transferred with the negative payment history on them. Shouldn’t they be deleted since the same loans are now with a new loan provider? It is essentially duplicated reporting them right? I am planning on getting married in few months and want to buy a house with my current girlfriend and with this stuff on my report I was afraid I won’t be able to do this. This was exactly my story until I contacted SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST who did the magic by clearing all the debts and raised my score to 800+ across the three credit bureaus and even added some positive trade lines on my report. I was able to get a good house with a very low interest rate. Thank you SAFEPORT for helping me.....
