✔ I
have a short story written somewhere on a missing man and a Charlie
Parker portrait.. In a convo with my nephew the other day, he mentioned how
schizophrenia is not only hearing voices but instead sometimes
involving other senses, i.e. smelling things that are not there,
sensations in the skin, etc. I told him I didn’t know, and conveyed
that writing is a form of controlled, simulated or voluntary schizophrenia in
the sense one triages storylines or ideas. ◺

Trivia : guess the location and sequence of shots.
Hint : uɐʇʇɐɥuɐW
My photo: crane near 125 st. & Broadway, in the background tall 3333 building of course. 3333 was
constructed under the state-run program Mitchell-Lama, providing
low-interest mortgage loans and property tax exemptions (i.e. 421-a tax exemption..) to landlords
who agreed to provide low-income residents with affordable housing. Landlords
generally may remove their developments from Mitchell-Lama and
privatize them by prepaying the mortgage... In
2005 the landlord of the building, Jerome Belson, opted out of the
program. A class action lawsuit was brought against the current owner who
purchased the complex in 2007,
by many of the building's tenants. The
case was dismissed...

✔ In a summer day of 2002 I
was walking to east on Chambers st. (downtown Manna-hata). Close to the eastern side of Church st. entered into what was then a “Korean” deli (never been there nor since). At the back of
the store was this cop (Puerto Rican?) laying on the floor
semi-conscious. No one else was around. He was so out of it (diabetic
shock?), that if I wanted to I would’ve been able to take his gun,
badge, and leave him naked (who would've believed him then? 🙃 ). He had a phone in hand but could not even
dial, so I told him: “let me call for you”, and took it from his hand.
Reported it to 911
and waited outside the store. Paramedics soon came and took him out
in a stretcher. I didn’t exchange words with them, just stood there
watching from a close distance. Most people would’ve done something
similar.
In
that area (125
st. & Riverside Drive) is where years later, in 1974, the movie “Death Wish”, with Charles Bronson,
was also shot. This

Kiryas
Joel (Yiddish:
קרית
יואל, romanized: Kiryas
Yoyel, Yiddish pronunciation: [ˈkɪr.jəs
ˈjɔɪ.əl]; often locally abbreviated as KJ) is a
village
coterminous
with the Town
of Palm Tree in Orange
County, New York,
United States. The village shares one government with the town. The
vast majority of its residents are Yiddish-speaking
Hasidic Jews
who belong to the worldwide Satmar
sect of Hasidism. ..
..
According to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, Kiryas Joel has by far the youngest median age population of any municipality in the United States,[3] and the youngest, at 13.2 years old, of any population center of over 5,000 residents in the United States.[4] Residents of Kiryas Joel, like those of other Haredi and Orthodox Jewish communities, typically have large families, and this has driven rapid population growth.[5] .. .. It is also the place in the United States with the highest percentage of people who reported Hungarian ancestry, as 18.9% of the population reported Hungarian descent in 2000.[7] .. .. Kiryas Joel is named for Joel Teitelbaum, the late rebbe of Satmar and driving spirit behind the project.[10] .. .. In 1947, Teitelbaum settled with his followers in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, a borough of New York City. .. .. By the 1970s, he decided to move the growing community to the Town of Monroe, a suburban location in Upstate New York that was more secluded from what he considered the harmful influences and immorality of the outside world, yet still close enough to the New York metropolitan area's commercial center. .. .. In 2019, the village of Kiryas Joel separated from the town of Monroe, to become part of the town of Palm Tree, .. .. The village abides by strict Jewish customs, and its welcome sign, which was installed in 2010,[27] asks visitors to dress conservatively and to "maintain gender separation in all public areas".[24] .. .. According to 2020 census figures, the village has a high poverty rate with about 40% of the residents living below the federal poverty line.[29] A 2011 New York Times report noted that, despite the town's very high statistical poverty rates, "It has no slums or homeless people. No one who lives there is shabbily dressed or has to go hungry. Crime is virtually non-existent."[30] .. .. In the 2020 presidential election, 98.5% of Kiryas Joel voters voted for Trump, one of the highest percentages in the country.[39] ..

Jewish Florida man shot two Israelis he mistook for Palestinians:
Reports
Feb 18, 2025
.. According to an
arrest report seen by NBC
6 South Florida, Mordechai Brafman, 27, opened fire on the victims'
vehicle 17 times. He told detectives in an interview that he "was
driving his truck, saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both,"
according to an arrest report cited by the outlet. .. ..
According to the local news channel WPLG, authorities said the
shooting was unprovoked and the victims and Brafman did not know each
other. .. .. Some reports claimed the two victims told
police they were victims of an antisemitic attack and that they took
to social media to comment on the incident after being shot, which
reportedly included them saying "Death to the Arabs." X
user @KashifMD, who has more than 45,000 followers on the platform,
shared a screenshot of a Facebook
post, which he linked to the victims, although Newsweek has
been unable to verify the legitimacy of the post or its connection to
the Miami Beach victims. The Facebook post shared by @KashifMD reads:
"My father and I went through a murder attempt against
anti-Semitic background. They tried to murder us in the heart of
Miami but the creator of the world is with us so he didn't go. I want
to say thank you to everyone for their support and it is not taken
for granted with israel Live. Death to the Arabs." ..
.. @Kahlissee, an user on X who has more than 336,000
followers and describes themself as offering alternative news and
media, wrote
in a post: "This is the result of Anti Palestinian hate and
indoctrination that runs deep in Pro Israel communities in Trumps
America." ..

(sometimes spelled Murieta

(1829 – July 25, 1853), also called the Robin
Hood of the West
or the Robin Hood
of El Dorado,
was a Mexican
figure of disputed historicity. The novel The
Life and Adventures of Joaquín Murieta: The Celebrated California
Bandit (1854) by
John Rollin
Ridge ostensibly recounts his story… ..Early 20th-century
writer Johnston
McCulley was said to have based his character Don Diego de la
Vega—better known as Zorro
in his 1919 novel of that name—on Ridge's 1854 novel about
Murrieta.[3][4]

.. Even
the idea of Satan is a fundamentally Zoroastrian one. It is generally
believed by scholars that the ancient Iranian prophet Zarathustra
(known in Persian as Zartosht and Greek as Zoroaster) lived sometime
between 1500 and 1000 BC. Prior to Zarathustra, the ancient Persians
worshipped the deities of the old Irano-Aryan religion, a counterpart
to the Indo-Aryan religion that would come to be known as Hinduism.
Zarathustra, however, condemned this practice, and preached that God
alone – Ahura Mazda, the Lord of Wisdom – should be worshipped… ..Zoroaster likely lived between 1500 and 1000 BC, but some
scholarship suggests he may have been a contemporary of Persian
emperors Cyrus the Great and Darius I …

November 29, 2019
.. In the Yoruba religion belief system, live and death is an ongoing cycle of existence in various bodies, in Ayé—the physical realm—as the spirit gradually moves towards transcendence. .. Olodumare, also known as Olorun, is an all-powerful figure, and isn't limited by gender constraints. Usually the pronoun "they" is used when describing Olodumare, who doesn't typically meddle in the everyday affairs of mortals. If someone wishes to communicate with Olodumare, they do so by asking the orishas to intercede on their behalf. .. .. Much like the saints of Catholicism, the Yoruba orishas work as the intermediaries between man and the supreme creator, and the rest of the divine world. While they often act on behalf of mortals, the orishas sometimes work against humans and cause problems for them. ..

Mathematician DESTROYS Atheism
and Leaves All Of Oxford SPEECHLESS!
✔ My response below :
0:10 “the Oxford
mathematician is amazed that serious thinkers today continue to ask
«them» to choose between God and science.” Right off the bat
he’s mistaken cuz no serious thinker is asking for such a thing. If
he wants to believe in Zeus, Atum,
Brahma,
Waheguru, Odin,
Hayyi Rabbi, etc,
that’s his business, this ain’t about a reverse Inquisition.
0:44 Wrong,
faith and intellectual rigor
have not always co-existed harmoniously
for centuries, even
till this day ! Religion
as an institution always imposed its version of truths by faith,
prophecy, coercion. 1:35 "51% of scientists
believe in some kind of deity citing a Pew Research poll..." OK
let’s say that’s correct, so if you have a slim majority of them
believing so, where & how then does the “forced choosing” at
0:10 then come into play..? Scientists
making scientific progress didn’t achieve it through religion,
faith, or prayer, but rather thru the scientific method ! There
are people from all walks of
life who either believe in a
deity or
deities and those who do
not. That doesn’t determine
their intelligence or morality. There
are atheists with questionable
politics (Sam
Harris, Michael Shermer)
and there are Christians with socialist politics (Martin Luther King
Jr., Hugo Chávez),
and vice versa. Interesting that Western
Europeans are more likely to identify as atheists than Americans...
In North Korea, China,
Japan, etc, that percentage is even higher for
atheists… The
problem comes when theologians or religious fanatics come in pushing
their beliefs or a supposed higher morality by means of their faith
and into politics, education,
science, without proof
whatsoever. In
the U.S., in a courtroom you’re made to pledge
by a Bible… If you’re an open-atheist, there are political
positions barred from
you… Another
incontrovertible fact is that whether you’re an atheist or not,
“death” comes to us all.
3:03 “..the oxymoron
of the Universe creating itself from nothing..” What is he
claiming really?
That he knows all the complexities
of the Universe from a podium? Assuming that God must be the answer
(out of lack of facts as
diseases long ago) does not
then explain who then created that God or
that it understands itself…
Faith or death, can’t even
explain what kind of God that would
be, though it pretends.
Does it know what it created? Does it care? Does it care about all
life equally? 8:05 Why
would a supposed all-powerful-knowing-confident
God even care if puny humans believe in it? Even if humans one day
realize
that a supreme being is just another “myth”, who can say that’s
an insult or injury to such a being ? Whether
God or gods (whichever is its role) exists or not, we as humans have
an obligation or choice to
make our existence worth something. The
not-believing guilt scheme
seems to make sense only if religion or houses of worship are human
created
tools
made to maintain a certain social class in power... Nowadays the expectation or
hope for an “afterlife” perhaps has been transfigured somewhat to
retirement accounts, e.g. 401k’s, annuities, IRA, real estate,
etc.
The
fined-tuned
Universe argument for God does not prove it exists, for
many reasons. One is that it assumes the Universe was created for the
sole purpose of life or
consciousness ! When
telescopes look out there, is it teeming with life? Life
probably could exist somewhat in other universes with different laws,
another
winning lottery with different numbers, so as the saying goes: “there’s more than one way to skin a cat” ! 8:17 The equating
of
God creating our universe with that of humans understanding it, is
another leap in faith, not
evidence for design
or creation. That’s religion’s attempt to hijack scientific
discovery for its own dogma !
Our understanding of nature keeps changing… Some might say that
time, entropy, or
the Higgs
boson,
is the creator… Heresy
in their view. ⚗️
At
best, that sort of discussion at universities is an exercise in
rhetoric, or
logic. It’s also
worth noting John

as Richard
Dawkins and Christopher
Hitchens ... ◺

THIS ATHIESM LOGIC MAKES ZERO SENSE🤯 #shorts #gospel #jesus #faith #bible #god
,11-27-23✔ My response next :
Whomever
made or circulated
this clip, might not be aware that the woman wanting 100%
proof
might not even be an atheist at all ! In
Judaism, Jesus wasn’t the Messiah
or even acknowledged at all...
Muslims on
the other hand
do not believe Jesus died in the cross… An early Christian bishop,
Saint
Irenaeus, in his book around
180 AD, titled
Against
Heresies, Book I, Chapter 24, Section 40, writes
: “..He [Christ] appeared on earth as a man and performed
miracles. Thus, he himself did not suffer. Rather, a certain Simon of
Cyrene was compelled to carry his cross for him. It was he [Simon]
who was ignorantly and erroneously crucified..”
In
Deism, often there is a belief in the existence
of God, but a God who does
not intervene in the universe after creating it. Deism
emphasizes the concept of natural
theology—that is, God's existence is revealed through nature…
Since the 17th century and during the Age
of Enlightenment, especially in 18th-century England,
France, and North
America, various Western
philosophers and theologians formulated a critical
rejection of the several religious
texts belonging to the many organized
religions, and began to appeal only to truths that they felt
could be established by reason as the exclusive source of divine
knowledge. Deism as a distinct philosophical and intellectual
movement declined toward the end of the 18th century, but had a
revival in the early 19th century.
But back to the preacher in
the clip, he makes a logical
fallacy claim, by
equating a resurrection to that of a medical pill. Outrageous
to think “zombies” and cures from medicine demand the same burden
of proof ! Jesus Christ ! This type of Manichaeism
by him harkens
back to a polemical
work ( De
Carne Christi
) by another early
Christian apologist against Gnosticism
named Tertullian
, by the
phrase : prorsus credibile est, quia ineptum
est (it is
immediately credible – because it is silly). ◺
Gilgamesh flood myth
.. A much older Cuneiform tablet dating to 1646-1626 B.C.,
about one thousand years before the Book of Genesis is believed to
have been written, and known as the Epic
of Atra-Hasis describing a great flood was discovered in 1898. J.
P. Morgan acquired it and today it is in the Morgan
Library & Museum. ..
Did the Bible 'borrow' the Noah's ark story from the Epic of
Gilgamesh?
.. This wasn't the story of Noah
and the ark, though, and this wasn't the book of Genesis in the
Hebrew Bible
(known to Christians as the Old Testament). What Smith had discovered
was only one chapter in a sprawling Mesopotamian tale now known as
the Epic of Gilgamesh, first written in 1,800 B.C.E., around 1,000
years before the Hebrew Bible. .. .. Smith's discovery
shook the foundations of biblical scholarship by proposing that some,
if not all, of the Hebrew Bible was borrowed from neighboring
civilizations. ..
The Bible Unearthed:
Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its
Sacred Texts, a book by Israel
Finkelstein, Professor of Archaeology at Tel
Aviv University, and Neil
Asher Silberman, an archaeologist, historian and contributing
editor to Archaeology
Magazine published in January 2001 by Simon
& Schuster using its Free Press imprint [1][2]
and reprinted in June 2002 using its Touchstone imprint,[3][2]
discusses the archaeology of Israel
and its relationship to the origins and content of the Hebrew
Bible.
Finkelstein
and Silberman contend that the composition of the Bible began in the
Iron Age,
centuries after the events of Israel's founding
myths—the patriarchs
and the Exodus
from Egypt. They argue that numerous biblical passages conflict with
the Bronze Age and Iron Age archaeological record of the Land of
Israel, and that the text reflects an authorship bias toward the
Kingdom of
Judah at the expense of the Kingdom
of Israel. They also reject the historical plausibility of a
prosperous united
kingdom of Israel and Judah ruled by David and Solomon from
Jerusalem in the 10th century BCE, instead positing this narrative as
an ideological construct promoted by late Judahite kings such as
Hezekiah and
Josiah. The book
was both praised and criticized by biblical scholars for its
reconstruction of ancient Israel's history. ..

Flamenco sketches, by Miles
Davis (1959)
Miles
Davis began in the late 1950s to create music based on the modes, or
scales, used by ancient Greek musicians, instead of traditional keys
and harmonic patterns. His 1959 landmark Kind of Blue album
was his first major modal jazz recording…
Kind of Blue
is the thirty-third studio album by American jazz
musician, trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles
Davis… ..Influenced in part by Evans, who had
joined the ensemble in 1958, Davis departed further from his early
hard bop style
in favor of greater experimentation with musical
modes, as on his previous album Milestones
(1958). Basing Kind
of Blue
entirely on modality,
he gave each performer a set of scales that encompassed the
parameters of their improvisation and style, and consequently more
creative freedom with melodies; Coltrane later expanded on this modal
approach in his own solo career...
..The
liner notes list Davis as author of all compositions, but many
scholars and fans believe that Bill Evans wrote part or the whole of
"Blue in Green" and "Flamenco Sketches".[23]
Bill Evans assumed co-credit with Davis for "Blue in Green"
when recording it on his Portrait
in Jazz album and the Davis estate acknowledged Evans'
authorship in 2002.[24]

The Catholic defender: the tradition of the Yule log and Christmas
11/28/2016
.. Pope
Julius I (337-352 A.D.) incorporated the tradition of
the yule which came from Scandinavia celebrating the Winter Solstice,
to celebrate Christmas. The Yule log traditional fire came to
represent the light of the Savior instead of the light of
the Sun. ..
✔ On 12/29/24 via Telegram I sent the article above to the same
person who denied the authenticity of the 1969 manned
mission to our moon, and
whom I refer to as knowing since the 1980’s.
Yesterday 12/29/24,
on the Yule & Christmas article he responded with the following sentence
◺ :
In other words, they
worshipped a trunk of wood!!!!!!!
✔ I then gave
today, 12/30/24, this explanatory note :
I don’t claim to
be a historian in the tradition of Christmas, but a few aspects of it
can be traced online. For example, as penned in the previous
article, Julius
I (Roman Pope from 337 – 352 A.D. ), was the first to
establish or mix let’s say, the tradition of the Pagan Yule
which celebrates the Winter
Solstice (day with the
shortest daylight and longest night of the year, when the Sun is at
its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky) in order to celebrate
Christmas. The Yule log was not worshiped by Pagans the way
Christians worship the Christian Messiah.
In Islam & Judaism, the Messiah is fundamentally different.
Yule was, and is, a celebration, a symbolism, of the triumph of
light of the Sun over darkness.
Julius
I chose December
25th to mark the birth of Jesus, despite evidence of his birth in the
spring. The Bible does not even mention a specific date for his
birth... Despite
the accounts by the four
canonical Gospels , historical
&
religious evidence
points that the
city
of Nazareth did not exist by
that name in
that time…
It
is
never mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Old
Testament),
Flavius
Josephus,
the Talmud names 63 Galilean towns but
nothing of Nazareth. The Assyrians who conquered and ruled the region
do not mention it… Archaeological
evidence shows
instead a necropolis there, a cemetery...
Juan
1: 46 Paul’s
letters (real
and forged)
make
no mention of Jesus’ parents, virgin birth, nor
place
of birth... They do not refer to his trial before a Roman official,
nor to Jerusalem as the place of execution, John the Baptist, Judas,
nor Peter’s denial of his teacher.
These letters also fail to mention any miracles Jesus is supposed to
have worked…
Historians
theorize the church picked
this date to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia
festival. Early Romans marked the dates
in honor of Saturn,
their
god of agriculture, also
associated with Holy
Innocents' Day . Celebrating
Christmas at the traditional time of pagan winter solstice festivals
encouraged pagan people to adopt the practices of Christmas.
Easter
(Resurrection
of Jesus on Sunday
)
was
actually the main holiday of the early Christians. In the first few
centuries of Christianity, Jesus’ birth was not celebrated in the
big way that it is now. The
customs
of gift-giving, Christmas trees, candles,
wreaths, partying,
can be traced back to Pagan
celebration of Saturnalia, Yule
in Europe, etc.
In
Slavic Europe, Koliada
or koleda
was
the name for the period from Christmas
to Epiphany,
some dating to pre-Christian
times. It also involves groups who visit houses to sing carols.
But
none of this known, or accepted, by most modern Christians. They
claim
their celebrations
&
beliefs are
clearly
original, inspired,
100% historical, no syncretism involved... 🎅🏻

Once
in a lifetime (Talking Heads song)
.. Like other songs on Remain
in Light,
Talking Heads and the producer Brian
Eno developed "Once in a Lifetime" by recording jams,
isolating the best parts, and learning to play them repetitively.[6]
.. .. David
Byrne, likened the process to modern looping
and sampling,
describing the band as "human samplers".[6]
He said the song was a result of the band trying and failing to play
funk, inadvertently
creating something new instead.[6] .. .. Byrne denied that the lyrics address yuppie
greed and said the song was about the unconscious:
"We operate half-awake or on autopilot and end up, whatever,
with a house and family and job and everything else, and we haven't
really stopped to ask ourselves, 'How did I get here?'"[7]
.. .. The video was directed by Byrne and Toni
Basil and choreographed by Basil. They studied archive
footage of religious rituals from around the world, including
footage of evangelists, African tribes, Japanese sects and people in
trances, for Byrne to incorporate into his performance.[6]

✔ A brief description of remittances from the U.S. & Europe to
the immigrants’ countries of origin goes like this: In the 70’s,
80’s, there were migrations due to civil wars & dictatorships
(mostly created by the U.S. gov. by the way). In the 90’s onwards
these waves increased due to structural adjustment
programs (SAP’s) by the IMF & World Bank, free
trade agreements (FTA’s) which displaced local
farmers with cheaper subsidized imports, or fleeing the violence of
narco gangs (fueled by U.S. consumption and the DEA’s involvement
in regulating such black market..). Also human traffickers.
Immigrants arriving in the U.S. or Europe then send money back as
remittances. U.S. banks & other agents charge a fee + taxes.
Apart from the receiving families, who benefits the most from the
remittances? Well, the banks over there and the importers.. How so?
Since U.S. & European companies’ imports are heavily
subsidized, they are more competitive, therefore benefiting the
importers in the global south... In order for these importers to
purchase their wares they have to take out loans, so the banks profit
from it. Those banks deposit the U.S. dollars in the U.S.. The
conditions in the global south must in the first place be tough
enough to “stimulate” immigration... Once in the North, the
immigrants will work for lower wages & benefits. So it is a cycle
in which rich western elites mostly benefit, while simultaneously
presenting themselves as benefactors.. The increase in migrants
coming into the U.S. is a point of contention in the sense many in
the U.S. (mainly Republicans..) feel it’s a failure of “open
borders”; without realizing or
wanting to, that the
vast majority of asylum-seekers are turned away at the border by U.S.
immigration officials.. Something
else to consider is the labor shortage in the U.S. specially
after the COVID pandemic took the lives of over a million people here
plus the lingering health side effects...

en un libro que el expresidente Donald Trump puso sobre la mesa el 5
de febrero de 2020 la posibilidad de que fuerzas militares
estadunidenses se "deshicieran" del presidente venezolano,
Nicolás Maduro.
Trump planteó la oferta a los dirigentes opositores Juan Guaidó,
Julio Borges, Carlos Vecchio y Mauricio Claver-Carone, quienes se
reunieron con el mandatario estadunidense en la Casa Blanca. ..

..The
announcement came with a warning that “Treasury is prepared to
amend or revoke authorizations at any time” should the Biden
administration unilaterally determine that the Venezuelan government
has not followed through on agreements..
..National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez, who heads
the government delegation in the talks with the opposition, argued
that there should be “no need to be issuing licenses,” echoing
Caracas’ demand for full sanctions removal. However, he described
the licenses as a “very good first step.” …
..Washington was also compelled to reevaluate its sanctions policy
toward Venezuela over its role in driving
migration to the US. The conflict in Ukraine and heightened
tensions in the Middle East additionally motivated US policymakers to
try and stabilize global energy markets.

Ojeda, a former Venezuelan army officer who conspired against

Venezuela's leftist leader Maduro makes a play for evangelical voters
February 7, 2024
( + 4 minutes audio )
.. In neighboring
Brazil, for example, evangelicals helped elect right-wing populist
Jair
Bolsonaro in that country's 2018 presidential election and were a
key part of his coalition when he narrowly lost his 2022 reelection
bid. .. .. Chávez died of cancer in 2013. Since then,
Maduro has rolled back democratic freedoms in Venezuela and led the
country into its worst economic crisis in history. All this has made
him deeply
unpopular at a time when Maduro is pledging to hold a free and
fair presidential election later this year. .. .. The
U.S. temporarily lifted
most of those sanctions in October, but the Biden administration
has threatened to reimpose them if Maduro fails to hold a clean
election. ..
✔ Oh

Nicolás Maduro ! Venezuela is finally at peace politically without
street violence (and the economy growing), no thanks to the United
States & lackey governments channeling resources &

diametrically

High blood pressure medication shown to slow aging and extend
lifespan
January 27, 2023
New research findings, published on January 20 in the journal
Aging Cell, show that animals treated with rilmenidine,
currently used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), at young
and older ages increase lifespan and improve health markers,
mimicking the effects of caloric restriction. Rilmenidine,
which is a prescription medication, is marketed under the brand names
Albarel, Hyperium, Iterium, and Tenaxum… ..Unlike other
drugs previously studied for this purpose by the researchers, the
widely-prescribed, oral antihypertensive rilmenidine has the
potential for future translatability to humans as side effects are
rare and non-severe..
This
enzyme promotes healthy aging by breaking down fat byproducts
Jan 25, 2024
.. Fatty
acids are one of the molecular building blocks that make up
fats. Though essential for various bodily functions, excessive
amounts of fatty acids in the body can
be harmful, shortening a person’s health
span and life span by increasing their risk of chronic
disease, disrupting metabolic processes and promoting inflammation.
.. .. For instance, when placed on a calorie-restricted
diet, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans lives
about 40% longer. We found that the glycerol levels in the body
of these long-lived worms were lower than in shorter-lived worms that
were not food restricted. Calorie restriction also heightened
the activity of an enzyme responsible for breaking down
glycerol, ADH-1, in their intestine and muscles. We saw similar high
ADH-1 activity levels in people undergoing dietary
restriction or treated with an anti-aging drug called rapamycin. This
finding suggests there may be a common mechanism underlying healthy
aging across species, with ADH-1 at its core. We hypothesized that
elevated ADH-1 activity promotes health in old age by decreasing
harmful levels of glycerol. Supporting this hypothesis were two
critical observations. First, we found that adding glycerol to
the diet of worms shortened
their life span by 30%. By contrast, animals genetically modified
to boost levels of the glycerol-busting enzyme ADH-1 had low glycerol
levels and remained lean and healthy with longer lives, even on
unrestricted diets. ..

Multinational study finds
biologic therapies can control severe asthma
December 8, 2023
A
study has shown that severe asthma can be controlled using biologic
therapies, without the addition of regular high-dose inhaled
steroids, which can have significant side effects. The
findings from the multinational SHAMAL study, published in The
Lancet,
demonstrated that 92% of patients using the biologic therapy
benralizumab could safely reduce inhaled steroid dose and more than
60% could stop all use. The study's results could be transformative
for severe asthma patients by minimizing or eliminating the
unpleasant and often serious side effects of inhaled steroids.
These include osteoporosis, which leads to an increased risk of
fractures, diabetes, and cataracts. ..

inflammatory cells called eosinophil. Benralizumab is injected every
four to eight weeks and is available in specialist NHS asthma
centers. ..

Reagan. Y se impidió que ocurriera un atentado. Dicen que Reagan
lo agradeció, pero dos años antes, el propio mandatario
estadounidense había incluido a la Isla en la Lista de Estados
Patrocinadores del Terrorismo, por primera vez desde su creación en
1979. La Habana alertaba a Washington sobre un acto
terrorista, pero siguió estando en el listado negro durante 33 años

..He
also showed a deep sense of humanity in the combats, as it happened
during the combat against the forces of the bloodthirsty Sanchez
Mosquera in the area of Mar Verde. There, faithful to this principle
that reflects his comradeship, he did not hesitate to risk his life
to rescue the wounded body of Joel Iglesias, before the astonished
looks of three enemy soldiers who, surprised by his audacity, refrain
from shooting at him.. ..During his last combat in
Quebrada del Yuro, Bolivia, on October 8, 1967, Che kept
fighting all the time, so that the sick and unable to fight, of his

Arjona

a Guatemalan singer and songwriter. He is one of the most successful
and best-selling Latin American artists of all time..
..In
"Mesias" Arjona talks about a character who appears "in
the form of a wealthy, well-armed magnate with [...] some sinister
plan for the world."[46]
Some critics argued that it was a "metaphorical attack" on
capitalism and
imperialism,
named as "classic Arjona targets."[46]
The song became a subject of some controversy when fans and critics
noted connections between its theme and the attacks
of September 2001, months after the song's release, which
resulted in the FBI
investigating Arjona.[45]
The singer later commented that "Mesías" had no
relationship to the attacks, and that the lyrics were pure
coincidence.[47]
He further stated the FBI had never spoken directly to him, but
instead to somebody on his team.[47]

a village in Southern
Lebanon, when the Israel
Defense Forces fired artillery shells at a United
Nations compound.[2][3]
The artillery barrage had been launched to cover an Israeli special
forces unit after it had come under mortar fire launched from the
vicinity of the compound and radioed a request for support. Of 800
Lebanese civilians who had taken refuge in the compound, 106 were
killed and around 116 injured. Four Fijian
United
Nations Interim Force in Lebanon soldiers were also seriously
injured.[4][5]
.. ..Contrary to repeated denials, two Israeli helicopters
and a remotely piloted vehicle were present in the Qana area at the
time of the shelling. While the possibility cannot be ruled out
completely, it is unlikely that the shelling of the United Nations
compound was the result of gross technical and/or procedural
errors.[24]

Afghanistan dominates global
opium production. The Taliban is shutting that down
June 2, 2022
..Afghanistan
is the world's biggest opium producer and a major source for heroin
in Europe and Asia. Production spiraled over the past 20 years
despite billions of dollars spent by the U.S. trying to stop poppy
cultivation.. ..However, after the U.S.-led invasion that
ousted the Taliban in 2001, many farmers returned to growing
poppies..

Inside the Taliban's war on
drugs - opium poppy crops slashed
June 6, 2023 ..The
BBC has now travelled in Afghanistan - and used satellite analysis -
to examine the effects of the direct action on opium poppy
cultivation. The Taliban leaders appear to have been more successful
cracking down on cultivation than anyone ever has.. .."If
you have no food at home, and your children are going hungry, what
else would you do," he says. "We don't have large pieces of
land. If we grew wheat on them we would make a fraction of what we
could from opium.".. ..Last year when we were in the
province, we saw swathes of land covered with poppy fields. This time
we can't spot a single field of the crop.. ..He rejects
assertions by the UN, the US and other governments that opium was a
major source of income for the Taliban when they were fighting
against Western forces and the previous Afghan regime.. ..But opium was also grown freely in areas controlled by the
US-backed former Afghan regime, something the BBC witnessed prior to
the Taliban takeover in 2021.. ..As far as heroin addiction
in the UK and the rest of Europe goes, Mike Trace says a dramatic
reduction in opium cultivation in Afghanistan is likely to alter the
type of narcotics consumed. "People are likely to turn to
synthetic drugs which can be far more nasty than opium."

Poland, Hungary ban grain and
food imports from Ukraine
April 15, 2023
Poland and Hungary
have decided to ban imports of grain and other food from neighbouring
Ukraine to protect the local agricultural sector, the two governments
said on Saturday, after a flood of supply depressed prices across the
region… ..After
Russia's invasion blocked some Black Sea ports, large quantities of
Ukrainian grain, which is cheaper than that produced in the European
Union, ended up staying in Central European states due to logistical
bottlenecks, hitting prices and sales for local farmers. In a letter
to the European Commission last month, the prime ministers of five
eastern European countries said the scale of the increase in products
like grains, oilseeds, eggs, poultry and sugar had been
"unprecedented", and said tariffs
on Ukrainian agricultural imports should potentially be considered.
The impact of the oversupply has created a political problem for
Poland's ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) in an election year, with
the economy mired in stagflation...

deal is close to the war zone and there are no security guarantees it
won’t be used for arms shipments for the Ukrainian regime… 3:20
“..what Russia says on the grain deal..claims..” Moscow has
voluntarily extended the grain deal until now while the West insists
in blocking the exports of Russian cereals & fertilizers. The
grain deal was first signed in Istanbul July 2022 and with a clause
to help the poorest countries, but in reality more than 70% of grain
exports went to high & middle income countries... Who owns most

dominated global trade, accounting for about 85% of trade finance,
according to a February report from global payments system Swift.
The Chinese yuan in comparison, accounted for just 4.6% of trade
finance in the same period — but has more than doubled from
1.8% in February 2022, per Swift.. ..In February, the yuan
overtook the dollar as the most traded currency in Russia for the
very first time,.. .."We have very deep capital markets and
rule of law that are central in a currency that is going to be used
globally for transactions, and we haven't seen any other country that

slowly at first, then rapidly. By 2018, Finland’s land sink – the
phrase scientists use to describe something that absorbs more carbon
than it releases – had
vanished. .. .. The impact on Finland’s overall
climate progress is dramatic: despite cutting emissions
by 43% across all other sectors, its net emissions are at about
the same
level as the early 1990s. It is as if nothing has happened for 30

particulares. Ese bloqueo poca cosa le impide a la isla malvada
utilizar el dólar USD en relaciones exteriores, implicando la
necesidad de una compraventa en otra moneda donde la variación de
tipo de cambio hace más costosa la operación. Ese bloqueito,
“embargo”, “pretexto castrista”, prohíbe a bancos de
terceros países que tengan cuentas en dólares a nombre de bancos o
de nacionales cubanos…
• Un transformador u otro aparato con patentes 🇺🇸 se
le niegan a la isla, afectando la capacidad de generar y distribuir
energía, con repercusiones en toda la economía, el transporte.
• Si un barco desembarca en puerto cubano, no puede
desembarcar en uno de 🇺🇸 por 6 meses, por lo tanto encarece
y demora la transacción, seguros, riesgo, multas. Digamos, un carro
japonés con tanto % de níquel cubano no puede venderse en 🇺🇸 o una de sus sucursales fuera. Un turista europeo vacacionando en
Cuba ya no puede luego ir a 🇺🇸 sin solicitar una visa, o sea
para herir el turismo.
• Durante la pandemia COVID-19 el imperio del bien le negó
oxígeno, ventiladores mecánicos, mascarillas, etc. Cuba no se
cruzó de brazos y pudo fabricar varios de esos.
• Los campeones del libre comercio prohíben que sus cruceros
toquen orillas cubanas (ah pero sí se hace de la vista gorda cuando
un barco o avión cubano secuestrado entra en U$A y son recibidos
como héroes..). Con Obama se abrieron un poquito las relaciones,
pero luego con Trump caplán !
• En 🇺🇸 veo cervezas dominicanas, mejicanas, etc; pero
una Bucanero, Cristal, Mayabe, Tínima, Cacique, todas cubanas, puro
Cohiba, ni de juego se permiten.
• Ya que estamos en las Olimpiadas, imaginen que a un boxeador
le apliquen reglas exentas para los otros, ¿sería un evento parejo?
Los medio$ hegemómicos e influencers se engranan culpando a la
isla, es como si a una mujer la culparan por ser violada al usar una
faldita y salir de noche y no al violador. De que Cuba ha cometido y
seguirá cometiendo errores, claro que sí, pero el que esté libre
de pecados que tire la primera piedra. Sería revelador un
experimento social donde a cualquier país “en vía de desarrollo”,
capitalista, se le impondría un bloqueo similar, para ver cómo se
desenvolvería… Digo, ya que se supone todos los seres racionales
respetamos la validez del empirismo.
El funcionario de 🇺🇸 Lester D. Mallory en abril de 1960
lo puso claro (memorando desclasificado en 1991) : “..deben
adoptarse con prontitud todos los medios posibles para debilitar la
vida económica de Cuba.. negar dinero y suministros a Cuba, para
disminuir los salarios monetarios y reales, para provocar hambre,
desesperación y derrocamiento del gobierno..”
Un sinfín de trabas. Afortunadamente, con el ascenso de los
BRICS, el bloqueo, y hacia otros, se volverán más inefectivos. U$A
viene usando el dólar como un arma, más allá del “privilegio
exorbitante” acuñado en los 1960’s por Valéry Giscard

base a las estimaciones de la Oficina

un 8.4% con respecto al mismo período del año pasado. Pero
aún estaba un 5% por debajo de la tasa de la ciudad,
durante el mismo período antes de la pandemia.. ..Tres

Why Broadway never bounced back
Insiders were hopeful that grosses could build year-over-year, but
several factors (including fewer office workers) have kept numbers
flat.
June
5, 2024
..
overall grosses for the 2023-2024 season were down about 2.5
percent compared to the previous season, reaching $1.54 billion
compared to $1.58 billion the prior year. And compared to the
2018-2019 season, the last full season before the pandemic closed all
theaters, grosses were down 17 percent.
Even if viewed as
largely flat compared to last season, that spells trouble for the
industry, given the rising cost of producing a show. ..
Information
sector jobs vanish as publishing, film and TV, telecoms take hits.
New York City has added jobs overall,
but not in the relatively high-paying information industries
June 24, 2024
.. The information sector — which includes publishing, film and
TV production, broadcasting and digital content, as well as streaming
and podcasting and telecommunications — is now the segment of the
city’s economy shedding the most jobs. Since hitting a record
245,000 jobs in October 2022, more than 31,000 jobs have disappeared
— or 13% of the total in the sector. .. .. Meanwhile, like
the rest of the country, New York continues to add jobs overall. ..
.. The gains are, however, primarily in low-paying
health care jobs especially for home health care, which has an
average wage of only $31,000 a year. With information workers
averaging $193,000, it takes six new home health care jobs to make up
for the loss of one job in the information sector. .. ..
Streaming has seen a similar
contraction. The once booming podcasting industry is contracting
so rapidly the cutbacks have been labeled a
bloodbath. .. .. The industry’s woes will fall
mostly on a group that had been relatively unaffected by the pandemic
recession: white professionals. ..

Rudolph Giuliani: Faith in work,
God, and himself
Oct.
03, 2007
The former New York mayor's sense of discipline, which stemmed
from a childhood living with a devout Catholic father and attending
parochial schools, has shaped his career in public service.
Minutes
before the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed into a
roar of white dust and debris, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani caught a
glimpse of the Fire Department's chaplain, Father Mychal Judge. "Pray
for us," the mayor said, reaching out to grab the chaplain's
hand as the two raced past each other in the chaos. "I always
do," replied Father Judge. "I always pray for you."
It
was the last time Mr. Giuliani would see his close friend and
spiritual adviser. Judge was killed minutes later as he administered
last rites to a firefighter. That calm, resolute, sensitive leader
who emerged on Sept. 11, 2001, transformed the combative, operatic,
and unpopular
lame-duck mayor into New York's Churchill in a baseball cap. On
the strength of that feat and his career as a crime-fighting,
bureaucrat-busting reformer, Giuliani is staking his bid for the
presidency. ..
..
"The weaknesses that were displayed that day built up during
his mayoralty – there was nothing in eight years that showed any
focus on terrorism," says Dan Collins, co-author of "Grand
Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11," in a
phone interview. "And now you see him assume this mantle of a
terrorism expert on the presidential campaign that is almost wholly
cut out of false cloth." Some city firefighters,
too, charge that Giuliani knew since the 1993 attack that the
department's radios were problematic, yet did nothing about it. Had
the radios worked properly, hundreds of firefighters might have
lived, some say. "It's disgusting for Rudy to campaign on 9/11.
It devalues those lives – it's a fraud," says Harold
Schaitberger, general president of the International Association of
Fire Fighters, which has endorsed Sen. Christopher Dodd (D) for
president. "Rudy had nothing to do with the response that day.
In fact, he hampered [it]. Because his command center failed, he had
no single place to go and be in charge. Instead he was wandering
around the streets."
Through a series of
e-mails, the Giuliani campaign declined to comment on the
firefighters' allegations. ..

A major part of the problem is that a lot of housing (particularly in

mass transit lines, making it a lot more difficult to cover a lot of

✔ Maglev or magnetic levitation for train transportation was first granted a patent in the U.S. in December 1902 ( U.S. Patent 714,851 ) to Albert C. Albertson... yet today, it is the only "advanced" country not having such a network in place... ◺
Maglev transportation
.. Maglevs were conceptualized
during the early 1900s by American professor and inventor Robert
Goddard and French-born American engineer Emile Bachelet and have
been in commercial use since 1984, with several operating at present
and extensive networks proposed for the future.. ..Maglevs
have several other advantages compared with conventional trains. They
are less expensive to operate and maintain, because the absence of
rolling
friction means that parts do not wear out quickly (as do, for
instance, the wheels on a conventional railcar). This means that
fewer materials are consumed by the train’s operation, because
parts do not constantly have to be replaced ..

Argentina presidential
election: Key takeaways from first-round vote
October
23, 2023
Argentina
voted in a general election on Sunday, with Peronist Economy Minister
Sergio Massa posting a surprisingly strong first-place finish despite
a major economic crisis, ahead of the wild-haired pre-vote favorite,
radical libertarian Javier Milei.
Massa and Milei will
go to a run-off vote on Nov. 19 to take the presidency from
mid-December, replacing outgoing center-left Peronist President
Alberto Fernandez. Massa
ended the night with 36.7% of the vote versus Milei on around
30%. ..
Right-wing populist Milei set
to take Argentina down uncharted path: 'No room for lukewarm
measures'
November
20, 2023
..Some
of Milei's positions appear to echo those of more conservative
Republicans in the U.S.; he opposes sex education, feminist policies
and abortion, which is legal in Argentina, and rejects the notion
that humans have a role in causing climate change.
His profanity-laden
rhetoric has already inserted the country into the global culture war
that has overwhelmed political discourse in the U.S. and Brazil. ..

0:04 → “..if you sum up the woke movement today..in every
aspect..” 1:06 – 1:09 → “..from Pol Pot to Stalin to Mao..”
Pol Pot was supported by Uncle Sam and ousted by communist Vietnam !
Stalin and Mao are highly regarded today in Russia and China. 1:27 →
these fine gentlemen don’t seem to grasp that buying carbon credits
or offsets are not the solution to solving the global warming crisis,
a crisis they don’t even acknowledge. 2:00 → “..when the
individual makes more than another..” Conservatives and liberals
are so alike but their approach & diatribe is different.
Conservatives are so gun-ho for individual rights or family values, yet they want to
force women into what to do with their bodies, i.e. abortion. They
claim individual rights yet are reactionary on immigration, gun
control, housing... If family relations would be carried out as they wish,
then that family would be considered dysfunctional. Hey son or
daughter, no pay no food for you, or even though you're pregnant he gets more food, water or heat, than you do cuz he has a better-paying job! Siblings won’t even share a
bedroom. 2:24 → Slave owners in the U.S. South were very much
conservative and even had a civil war to keep their privileges or
ill-gotten gains. 3:10 → “..continuing to make these
squillionaires, wealthier than ever, while everybody else living
standards are being pushed down..” Behold, a true populist
demagogue. In their pull-yourself-up by your bootstraps
crusade they tend to say one becomes rich by being responsible savers
and not spenders. Needless to say they don’t cover one needs
capital in the first place in order to save and not spend it on
necessities, working-class spending that capitalists urgently need
otherwise they’ll go out of business! 4:16 → “..if you take
somebody’s property is not a crime..” Of course VD Hanson’s
poor attempt at being sarcastic. It flies by him that the Capitol
2021 rioters were infringing on state property… And when did the
U.S. “Left” say that was OK? That left on the other hand
supports such rioters in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Hong Kong, Russia,
etc.. These wackaloons don’t compage, that inequality has been
increasing in the U.S., i.e. Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and
jobs act, and mostly everywhere else for decades now. So what is
their gripe or beef about wokeism if not deflecting? Democrats in the U.S. &

Understanding money laundering
in casinos
19 May, 2023
..In
many cases, criminals exploit the anonymity provided by the casino
environment. Gamblers can give the casino incorrect, incomplete,
and/or vague identifying information, meaning red flags may not be
raised around their identity. When playing in an online casino, they
can also create and use multiple accounts, which means suspicious
transactions are not noticed quickly.. ..Casino AML
compliance teams are seeing a perfect storm as the cost-of-living
crisis fuels financial crime while firms’ profits – and therefore
capital available to invest – is under pressure. To balance these
pressures and mitigate the risk of money laundering, casinos should
ensure their customer
screening solution is set up in accordance with geographic
regulatory differences and is able to update in real-time..

low-interest loans and big tax breaks to developers.
But in the early days of implementation in South Florida, the Live

This
is the American Business Standard: make the public sector pay for the
privilege of hosting a business. It works in sports (taxpayers pay
for stadiums, etc but can't afford a ticket to the game) and a
multitude of other industries that receive public funding both
directly and indirectly including in the example of this video,
publicly paid worker training. Since Germany is alluded to as a
prelude, let's look at the other half of the equation. The German
state heavily subsidizes businesses but also collects corporate taxes
that would be considered outrageous by American standards.
Furthermore, German businesses are not permitted to simply pull up
stakes and ships factories overseas, nor are they allowed to oppose
unions. They are required to put employees first and business
opportunities second. Overpaid executives are a rarity. Frankly, I am
becoming sickened by the business and opportunity crowd demolishing
all cooperative institutions on the altar of profit.

The
soul
of man
under
socialism
is
an 1891 essay by Oscar
Wilde in which he expounds a libertarian
socialist worldview and a critique of charity.
The w[1]riting
of "The Soul of Man" followed Wilde's conversion to
anarchist
philosophy, following his reading of the works of Peter
Kropotkin.[2]
In "The Soul of Man" Wilde argues that, under
capitalism,
"the majority of people spoil their lives by an unhealthy and
exaggerated altruism—are
forced, indeed, so to spoil them": instead of realising their
true talents, they waste their time solving the social problems
caused by capitalism, without taking their common cause away. Thus,
caring people "seriously and very sentimentally set themselves
to the task of remedying the evils that they see in poverty but their
remedies do not cure the disease: they merely prolong it"
because, as Wilde puts it, "the proper aim is to try and
reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be
impossible."…

Oscar Fingal O'Fflahertie Wills Wilde [note
1]
(16 October 1854 – 30 November 1900) was an Irish poet
and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the
1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the
early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams
and plays, his novel The
Picture of Dorian Gray, and the circumstances of his criminal
conviction for gross
indecency for consensual homosexual acts in "one of the
first celebrity trials",[3]
imprisonment, and early death from meningitis
at the age of 46.. ..Wilde was concerned about the effect
of moralising on art; he believed in art's redemptive, developmental
powers: "Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing
and disintegrating force. There lies its immense value. For what it
seeks is to disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of
habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine."[113]
In his only political text, The Soul of Man Under Socialism,
he argued political conditions should establish this primacy –
private property should be abolished, and cooperation should be
substituted for competition. He wrote "Socialism, Communism, or
whatever one chooses to call it, by converting private property into
public wealth, and substituting co-operation for competition, will
restore society to its proper condition of a thoroughly healthy
organism, and insure the material well-being of each member of the
community. It will, in fact, give Life its proper basis and its
proper environment". At the same time, he stressed that the
government most amenable to artists was no government at all. Wilde
envisioned a society where mechanisation has freed human effort from
the burden of necessity, effort which can instead be expended on
artistic creation. George
Orwell summarised, "In effect, the world will be populated
by artists, each striving after perfection in the way that seems best
to him."[114][115].
This point of view did not align him with the
Fabians, intellectual socialists who advocated using state
apparatus to change social conditions, nor did it endear him to the
monied classes whom he had previously entertained.[116][117]
Hesketh
Pearson, introducing a collection of Wilde's essays in 1950,
remarked how The Soul of Man Under Socialism had been an
inspirational text for revolutionaries in Tsarist Russia but laments
that in
the Stalinist era "it is doubtful whether there are any
uninspected places in which it could now be hidden".[117]...
A
Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
is an 1889
novel by American humorist
and writer Mark
Twain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Connecticut_Yankee_in_King_Arthur%27s_Court
The
book was originally titled A
Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Some early editions are titled A
Yankee at the Court of King Arthur.
In the book, a Yankee
engineer from
Connecticut
named Hank Morgan receives a severe blow to the head and is somehow
transported in time and space to England during the reign of King
Arthur. After some initial confusion and his capture by one of
Arthur's knights, Hank realizes that he is actually in the past, and
he uses his knowledge to make people believe that he is a powerful
magician.
He becomes a rival of Merlin,
who appears to be little more than a fraud,
and gains the trust of King Arthur. Hank attempts to modernize the
past in order to make people's lives better. Hank is disgusted by how
the Barons treat
the commoners, and tries to implement democratic reforms, but in the
end he is unable to prevent the
death of Arthur. Hank declares England
a republic, but
the Catholic
Church - growing fearful of his power - issues an interdict
against him. Twain wrote the book as a burlesque
of Romantic
notions of chivalry
after being inspired by a dream in which he was a knight himself,
severely inconvenienced by the weight and cumbersome nature of his
armor. It is a
satire of
feudalism and
monarchy that
also celebrates homespun ingenuity and democratic
values while questioning the for-profit ideals of capitalism and
outcomes of the Industrial
Revolution. At one point in the book, Twain even defends the
French
Revolution.[2]
It is among several works by Twain and his contemporaries that mark
the transition from the Gilded
Age to the Progressive
Era of socioeconomic discourse. It is often cited as a formative
example of the fledgling time
travel genre. ..
Simple genius of NYC’s water
supply
✔ This above I posted the night before Ukrainian forces shelled the Kakhovka dam in Kherson 6-06-23, causing its collapse..
Western corporate media & politicos predictably blame Moscow, but neglect to point out Ukraine had also released water from the Dnieper hydroelectric station,
elevating the water level to a critical point in the Dnieper
reservoir cascade. Besides, who benefits? The shallowing of the Dnieper
river in the Zaporizhia region facilitates its crossing by the
Armed Forces of Ukraine.. The Ukrainian side also had to hide for 3
days the much-touted counteroffensive, where almost 200 of its armored
vehicles were destroyed and more than 2000 soldiers
killed. Moscow insists the dam was also targeted by Kiev in order to cut off the
water supply to the Russian Crimean peninsula. If that isn't enough of a red-flag, Ukraine
also rejects Türkiye’s proposal of an international probe into the cause..

to build structures. The goal is to create
lighter-weight buildings, reducing our reliance on concrete and
lessening negative environmental impact. Mycelium,
small strings that are part of a fungus, intertwine underground with
tree roots. It’s part of a network of plants that pass water and
nutrients to each other, even allowing trees to “communicate,”

reinforcing fibers into a living tissue system that rushes
concrete-healing bacteria
to the site of cracks to repair the damage. .. ..Recently
reported in the journal Construction
and Building Materials, Drexel's "BioFiber" is a
polymer fiber encased in a bacteria-laden hydrogel and a protective,
damage-responsive shell. The team reports that a grid of BioFibers
embedded within a concrete

ventilation and cut power demand for air-conditioning.[3]
Generally, the cost of construction for a windcatcher-ventilated
building is less than that of a similar building with conventional
heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The maintenance
costs are also lower. Unlike powered air-conditioning and fans,
windcatchers are silent[4]
and continue to function when the electrical
grid power fails (a particular concern in places where grid power
is unreliable and expensive, such as India and California).[5][11]

illnesses such as malaria
and dengue
fever, then air
filtering may be necessary.[2]

"Tenderly" was first recorded by Brazilian singer and pianist Dick Farney on June 15, 1947. Described as "a lovely waltz melody", Farney's version was positively received upon release in July 1947.[1] The second recording was made by Sarah Vaughan on July 2, 1947... ..The song has also become a Latin music standard—among the Cuban musicians that have made recordings are Vicentico Valdés, Mongo Santamaría, Bola de Nieve and Peruchín.[3][4] The Brazilian Trio Surdina recorded a samba-inflected version in 1953, while Jerry González y Los Comandos de la Clave recorded a Latin jazz version in 2010...

Time
is not an illusion. It’s an object with physical size
..If
we are on the right track, assembly theory suggests time is
fundamental. It suggests change is not measured by clocks but is
encoded in chains of events that produce complex molecules with
different depths in time. Assembled from local memory in the vastness
of combinatorial space, these objects record the past, act in the
present, and determine the future. This means the Universe is
expanding in time, not space – or perhaps space emerges from time,
as many current proposals from quantum gravity suggest. Though the
Universe may be entirely deterministic, its expansion in time implies
that the future cannot be fully predicted, even in principle. The
future of the Universe is more open-ended than we could have
predicted..

the quantum world, however, things are different: If particles behave
quantumly, then it may happen that you can no longer consider them
independently of each other. They are mathematically connected —
you can’t meaningfully describe one particle without saying
something about the other..
..This prediction seems intuitively strange: In

contained in a book depends on its volume — not merely on the area
of the book’s cover. In the quantum world, however, information is
often closely linked to surface area..

dark matter would rip our understanding of the universe apart, new

January 20, 2025
Because we haven't found anything yet, we've started to wonder if
dark matter might be lighter or heavier than we thought.
.. We have an abundance of evidence that something fishy is
happening in the universe. Stars orbit within galaxies far too
quickly. Galaxies
move around inside clusters much too fast. Structures grow and evolve
too rapidly. If we count only the matter we can see, there simply
isn't enough gravity
to explain all of these behaviors. ..
A
primeval force once ruled the Universe—and scientists have revived

Jul 08, 2024
.. Today, the universe as we know it is governed by
four fundamental forces: the strong nuclear force, the weak
nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity. However, these four
forces aren’t exactly as distinct as you think. Electromagnetism
and the weak nuclear force, for example, were once the same force—the
electroweak interaction. ..
..Pantheism is the belief that everything composes an
all-encompassing, immanent
God,[28]
or that the universe
(or nature) is
identical with divinity.[29]
Pantheists thus do not believe in a personal
or anthropomorphic
god, but believe that interpretations of the term differ. Pantheism
was popularized in the modern era as both a theology and philosophy
based on the work of the 17th-century philosopher Baruch
Spinoza,[30]
whose Ethics
was an answer to Descartes'
famous dualist theory that the body and spirit are separate.[31]
Spinoza held that the two are the same, and this monism is a
fundamental quality of his philosophy. He was described as a
"God-intoxicated man," and used the word God to describe
the unity of all substance.[31]
Although the term pantheism was not coined until after his death,
Spinoza is regarded as its most celebrated advocate.[32]
H. P. Owen
claimed that
Pantheists are "monists" ... they believe that there is only one Being, and that all other forms of reality are either modes (or appearances) of it or identical with it.[33]...

The Montauk Project is a conspiracy
theory that alleges there were a series of United
States government projects conducted at Camp
Hero or Montauk
Air Force Station in Montauk,
New York,
for the purpose of developing psychological
warfare techniques and exotic research including time
travel. The story of the Montauk Project originated in the
Montauk
Project
series of books by Preston
Nichols which intermixes those stories with stories about the
Bulgarian Experiment.[clarification
needed][1][2]
.. ..The Netflix
TV series Stranger
Things (2016) was inspired by the somewhat dubious Montauk
Project, and at one time Montauk was used as its working
title.[9][10][11][12]

People MURDERED to 'protect' UFO secret programs, David Grusch prepared to testify: Ross Coulthart
✔ Well, we’ll see what comes out of the House Oversight Committee
today, 7-26-23.
The possibilities
that jump out at me are the following:
1- If aliens indeed
are visiting Earth, that will mean they are more advanced than us. In
that case, if their visitations are still largely hidden from us,
then it’s because they wish to keep it so and mostly all
governments could be complicit.
2- If their trek was
a one-shot deal, and they all perished, then that could explain why
they are not making themselves known. In that case Earthly
governments could be hiding their failed attempt or attempts.
3- If none of it is
true, but all governments are ambivalent about it, especially the
U.S.’s , then that would entail a cover-up of a different nature,
i.e. a psyops, diversion from other issues, or justification to ramp
up military expenditures.
4- If indeed it’s
just a hoax, it doesn’t mean that aliens don’t exist somewhere.
They could’ve visited Earth long ago, when there was no intelligent
life, or none at all, or they haven’t reached us yet or found us.
The possibility then exists that somewhere out there some planet
civilization is aware that intelligence exists here, but they
don’t have the technology to reach us at a reasonable time.
5- There’s also a possibility it could be a phenomenon of unknown
origin such as the Hessdalen lights in Norway...
6- We as civilians
must avoid being zealots, prey to wishful thinking (who wouldn’t
want benevolent aliens to be here?). Let the evidence speak for
itself. Just imagine in the U.S. Capitol riot on January 06, 2021,
some yahoos, especially the horned one, the QAnon shaman (exotic by himself), screaming
for Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer: “C’mon, show me the aliens in
the freezer bitch / a-hole!” 🤣
7- As far as I know, this is
relegated to a U.S. obsession, world leaders don’t talk about it,
nor is it a topic at the United Nations… ◺

activities.... He graduated from Alfred University with a Bachelor
of Arts in English and history in 1984, then earned a Master
of Arts in history from the University of Rochester in 1995. He offers an online UFO course, "Introduction to ufology"...
Something often neglected, is that the UFO field is a cottage industry,
kinda
cult-like, or rather
a huge business, with tourist attractions, belting out merchandise,

Asteroid Bennu reveals conditions for life, but with twist
January
31, 2025
..
Bennu contains all 5 of the nucleobases
that form DNA and RNA on Earth. The asteroid also contains 14 of the
20 amino acids found in known earthly proteins. But – in a
fundamental way – the chemical structure of the molecules in Bennu
aren’t like those on Earth. Earthly amino acids found in living
organisms typically have a “left-handed” chemical structure.
Bennu appears to contain nearly equal amounts of ‘left-handed’
and their “right-handed,” or mirror-image, forms. What does it
mean? Scientists aren’t sure yet. And there’s more. There’s
also evidence for saltwater brines that might once have existed on an
original parent world of which Bennu was a part, billions of years
ago. The findings show that conditions would have been ideal for
these molecules to interact together in the briny “broth.” This
suggests that conditions for the emergence of life might have been
widespread in the early solar system. ..

✔ Notice last paragraph, page 5 ◺ : In conclusion, with two
highly redundant contacts -- the first with ground radar, combined
with both ground and airborne visual observers, and the second with
airborne radar, an airborne visual observer, and two different ground
radars -- the Bentwaters-Lakenheath UFO incident represents one of
the most significant radar-visual UFO cases. Taking into
consideration the high credibility of information and the
cohesiveness and continuity of accounts, combined with a high degree
of "strangeness," it is also certainly one of the most
disturbing UFO incidents known today.

as a development of a Cuban
folk song entitled "La Canción del Árbol" whose title
translates as "the song of the tree", the royal
poinciana being a favorite Caribbean
flowering plant.[1][2]
However, composer Nat Simon would claim the song's tune came to him
while he was dining at the famous Italian restaurant, Mamma Leone's,
in Manhattan's
Theater District, and that he jotted down a rough draft of the
melody on his table's cloth which - with Leone's permission - he took
home to work out the completed melody at his piano. Lyrics for the
song were completed in about thirty minutes by Buddy Bernier, who
cited as his inspiration a postcard of a royal Poinciana tree he'd
recently received from Florida.[3]
