How I Build This Desk

This desk was a pretty easy build.  I used a pocket hole jig to make the piece look more professional, with all hidden joints.  The pocket hole jig also made it more sturdy.  If you don't have a pocket hole jig, watch how I made the matching coffee table with just a brad nailer.

First, I build the tabletop surface in the size I wanted.  

Then I used a jigsaw to cut out the corners of the tabletop for the legs to show through.

Then, I measured and cut the 1x4 side aprons, and drilled 3/4" pocket holes on the ends and facing upward (pictured upside down above).  I attach the 1x4 apron to the underside of the tabletop with 1-1/4" pocket holes.

Next, I s...

Meet Oluwakemi learning from Akinyele, Oyo State, Nigeria. Shes a dedicated social worker and changemaker throughout several non-profit organizations within her community. Read more about her incredible passion for helping people and how she utilized Coursera to expand her skills. Heres her story in her own words:

In November of 2022, I earned a degree in Philosophy from the University of Ibadan, but  I have always had a passion for helping others. This passion only bloomed throughout my volunteer experiences at university.

While in school, I had the opportunity to serve in various leadership positions such as the lead for the Oyo State Team a youth empowerment group that advocates for better socio-economic opportunities and at AIA International Foundation, an international youth-led nonprofit organization working towards societal development using innovation for sustainable development. I later became the Team Lead for the South West Region for Slum2School Africa, a volunteer-driven organization that aims to empower underserved children.

My passion for serving female youth in my community led me to start my very own foundation. In February of 2019, I co-founded the Freedom Movement for the Girl Child (FMGC) with the goal to protect and educate young women and girls. 

These phenomenal programs and organizations helped me attain real world experience in the nonprofit sector, but I felt I needed formal training to further enhance my skills. I decided to enroll in the Social Work Practice: Advocating Social Justice and Change course from the University of Michigan on Coursera, and I am so thankful that I did! I was able to develop better skills in leadership, project management, and ultimately, I was able to  deepen my knowledge in social injustice.

With my degree, my experiences, and my knowledge gained through Coursera, Im able to drive even more positive impact and...

From insidepaper.com: Canadian biosciences company Sunshine Earth Labs announced Thursday it has been licensed to produce and sell cocaine, reflecting the federal health agencys bid to improve safety conditions for the countrys addicts. The licensing deal comes after a radical policy shift to address an opioid overdose crisis that has killed thousands, by decriminalizing small amounts of cocaine, heroin and other hard drugs. Ottawa granted a criminal code exemption in January to British Columbia for the three-year pilot project, with the aim of removing the stigma associated with drug use that keeps people from seeking help. Advocates have also been pushing for safer supplies of drugs to be made available to addicts who face a risk of dying from toxic drug poisoning linked to illicit street drugs. Sunshine Earth Labs said in a statement it received permission from Health Canada to legally possess, produce, sell and distribute coca leaf and cocaine, as well as morphine, MDMA (ecstasy) and heroin. Its announcement comes on the heels of a similar licensing arrangement offered in February to Adastra Labs, which had until now focused on crafting cannabis extracts. Adastras license also allows it to produce and sell psilocybin and psilocin hallucinogens more commonly known as magic mushrooms that produce effects similar to LSD. We will evaluate how the commercialization of this substance fits in with our business model at Adastra in an effort to position ourselves to support the demand for a safe supply of cocaine, chief executive Michael Forbes said. British Columbia is only the second jurisdiction in North America to decriminalize hard drugs after the US state of Oregon did so in November 2020. The Canadian province is the epicenter of a crisis that has seen more than 10,000 overdose deaths since it declared a public health emergency in 2016. That rep...

There was a time when the census was just a head count.

That is no longer the case.

The American Community Survey (ACS), sent to about 3.5 million homes every year, is the byproduct of a government that believes it has the right to know all of your personal business.

If you havent already received an ACS, its just a matter of time.

A far cry from the traditional census, which is limited to ascertaining the number of persons living in each dwelling, their ages and ethnicities, the ownership of the dwelling, and telephone numbers, the ACS contains some of the most detailed and intrusive questions ever put forth in a census questionnaire.

At 28 pages (with an additional 16-page instruction packet), these questions concern matters that the government simply has no business knowing, including questions relating to respondents bathing habits, home utility costs, fertility, marital history, work commute, mortgage, and health insurance, among other highly personal and private matters.

For instance, the ACS asks how many persons live in your home, along with their names and detailed information about them such as their relationship to you, marital status, race, and their physical, mental, and emotional problems, etc. The survey also asks how many bedrooms and bathrooms you have in your house, along with the fuel used to heat your home, the cost of electricity, what type of mortgage you have and monthly mortgage payments, property taxes, and so on.

And then the survey drills down even deeper.

The survey demands to know how many days you were sick last year, how many automobiles you own and the number of miles driven, whether you have trouble getting up the stairs, and what time you leave for work every morning, along with highly detailed inquiries about your financial affairs. And the survey demands that you violate the privacy of others by supplying the names and addresses of your friends, relatives, and employer.

The questionnaire also demands that you give other information on the people in your home, such as their ed...

A volunteer from Guatemalas Bitcoin Lake project shares the rewards of working on this circular economy.

Bitcoin is a disruptive technology that has emerged as a fundamental component of the financial industry. My work at Bitcoin-friendly companies has allowed me to observe the many ways in which Bitcoin is transforming the industry. Looking to contribute more, I embarked on a Bitcoin-only journey and joined the non-profit project, Bitcoin Lake.

Located in Panajachel, Guatemala, Bitcoin Lake launched just over a year ago. The project aims to create a circular economy powered by Bitcoin, providing a novel and accessible solution for unbanked as well as banked merchants. In Guatemala, approximately 60% of the adult population doesn't have access to formal financial services, and Bitcoin Lake's initiative to onboard merchants has a significant impact on the local community.

I have seen firsthand that this project has successfully onboarded more than 60 merchants, of whom 90% are unbanked and solely accept cash and bitcoin. The project continues to seek support and ways to enhance the experience for the Bitcoiners there. The Bitcoin tuk tuk (see figure one below) and the Bitcoin boat (cleverly named Peer To Peer) are examples of such initiatives.

a very common vehicle in Panajachel. 

Bitcoin Lake has made significant strides in a short period. Business owners are astounded by the ease of using Bitcoin, and the education projects have been an outstanding success. Centro Educativo Josu, Guatemala's first school to receive the "Mi Primer Bitcoin" course, has seen its students gain an exceptional understanding of Bitcoin. The progress and impact of Bitcoin Lake are significant and serve as an inspiration to all.

During my first month volunteering with Bitcoin Lake, my understanding and dedication to Bitcoin has grown significantly. As one of my first tasks, I collected data to assess the progress made in one year. As shown in figures two, three and four below, charts illustrate the flow of bitcoin in the project and the number of transactions completed within the past year, indicating significant growth.

Do you want your children to develop the ability to reason creatively and figure out things on their own?

Help kids practice slowing down and taking the time to fully comprehend a math topic or problem-solving situation with these classic tools of learning: See. Wonder. Create.

See: Look carefully at the details of the numbers, shapes, or patterns you see. What are their attributes? How do they relate to each other? Also notice the details of your own mathematical thinking. How do you respond to a tough problem? Which responses are most helpful? Where did you get confused, or what makes you feel discouraged?

Wonder: Ask the journalists questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how? Who might need to know about this topic? Where might we see it in the real world? When would things happen this way? What other way might they happen? Why? What if we changed the situation? How might we change it? What would happen then? How might we figure it out?

In March 2020, a group of biologists published a paper on the website of an open access journal. 

Nearly three years later, the publisher, Wiley, withdrew the article because, according to the withdrawal notice, the authors were unable to finalize payment of the fee to publish APC. 

The manuscript, Eco-evolutionary factors that influence its demographic oscillations in Prochilodus costatus (Actinopterygii: Characiformes) populations evidenced through a genetic spatialtemporal evaluation, had appeared on the site of the journal Evolutionary Applications as an Accepted Article, according to the notice, but the full text is no longer available online. It had not been indexed in Clarivates Web of Science before being withdrawn on February 27. 

The notice stated that the article 

has been withdrawn by agreement between the authors, journal Editor-in-Chief Louis Bernatchez and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The withdrawal has been agreed because the authors are unable to finalize the APC payment for their article for publication in the journal as the Version of Record.

Did COVID-19 leak out of a Chinese lab? China has long tried to paint that as a false theory and it was once dismissed by many US health officials, including former White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci. Now, just a week after FBI Director Christopher Wray said the theory was likely, House Republicans will be holding their first hearing today investigating the pandemics origins. A Democrat who will take part in the hearing, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06), joins the Rundown to discuss why she hopes politics are kept out of the probe, whether Dr. Fauci should testify, and why we cant let recent threats from China dissuade us from getting to the truth.

Last week, four Americans who traveled to Matamoros, Mexico, were shot and abducted, and now the State Department can confirm two of those Americans are home safe on US soil, yet the other two were killed in the attack. This violence, suspected to be the work of Mexicos cartels, has sparked outrage from US political leaders on the right, like Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is now pushing for legislation to designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. Former US Ambassador to Mexico Chris Landau joins the podcast to explain how cartel violence has made Mexico a dangerous travel destination, and he breaks down why designating these cartels as terrorist organizations could create more complications than solutions.

Leading contender for takedown of the week is surely this, a Christian presumably who trolled atheists by comparing God to a chef.

Because the comeback, which has just gone viral on Reddit, was a proper roasting.

God is a chef apparently, said vintagevixen927

Blimey.

And at some point, youre told to go fix your own food because the chef only cooks for those who cook for themselves.

If your food turns out great then glory to the chef, not you. If it turns out poorly then its part of the chefs plans, the chef is trying to teach you something, and you had some failing in yourself, your cooking ability, or your belief in the chef.

Meanwhile, no matter how many times you cook, you never see the chef. Food never just appears. Ingredients never just appear.

And youre told that certain foods and prep methods are forbidden cuz reasons.
AngryCustomerService

And in the end you get tired and go home and cook your own food, but the waiter shows up and tells you that you should thank the cook.
herbys

Also the waiter has 700 million dollars in the bank.

Not all waiters, obviously.

NEW YORK Local security guard Frank Bologna has absolutely no clue why hes needed to work a mostly docile There Might Be Giants show at the Bowery Ballroom, confirmed increasingly bored sources.

The minute I saw one of the band members walk on stage with an accordion pressed firmly against his torso, I knew we were in for a danger-free evening, said Bologna while flexing his biceps to warm them up before his next shift. The most rowdy the audience got was when the band played something called Birdhouse in Your Soul. And by rowdy, I mean they finally unlodged their hands from their corduroy pockets and started gently tapping their upper thighs along with the beat while gingerly bobbing their heads. Long story short, no one seemed even remotely capable of physical confrontation. Its shocking that my boss scheduled dozens of guards for this show.

Fans of the band seemed intimidated by the staff on hand.

My only criticism about the evening was that some of the venue sentinels were folding their arms in a very aggressive manner, said James Triboldt while wearing two They Might Be Giants shirts because he couldnt decide on just one. Im talking mean-mugging and everything. Its like, did we do something wrong? I hope it wasnt because I smuggled in a few homemade gluten-free vegan cookies. I knew I shouldve brought enough for everyone. Really screwed the pooch on that one.

They Might Be Giants singer John Linnell has noticed a pattern with the bouncers at their recent shows.

A good 75% of the security guards that work our gigs leave halfway through after assessing our audiences as a non-threat and realizing that there are probably more productive things they could be doing with their time, said Linnell. A fair amount of venues have even been using cardboard cutouts of security personnel near the front of the stage to strike fear into concertgoers. Seems like it has some sort of scarecrow effect. It works surprisingly well too, since the cutouts are just as realistically motionless as security guards.

At press time, venue staff prepared for another easy night after noticing that theyd be working during Wilcos set.

Cameron Crowes coming-of-age classic Almost Famous is an entertaining, albeit slightly inaccurate portrayal of music journalism. Sure, we can suspend our belief about one particular teenage boy getting offered $1000 for a feature in 1973, but overall this movie sets unrealistic financial expectations for freelance music journalists. Trust us, we know.

Nevertheless, one ambitious freelancer is living out her Almost Famous fantasy by actually getting paid! Thats right, 23-year-old Tonya Comstock interviewed a band for her local newspaper and received legal American money for her work. Usually, music journalists are lucky to get a spot on the guest list, a free album from a record labels PR team, or maybe even a cigarette if theyre interviewing a really cool band. But money? Thats a level of success only seen in the movies.

This is really exciting for Tonyas career. She may not make enough to quit her day job as a barista, but she made $35. Thats the same amount of cash William Miller got to review a Black Sabbath show before landing a cover story for Rolling Stone. Granted, that kid made a lot more when you remember $35 in 1973 is over $200 adjusted for inflation today, but Tonya is still psyched to have beer money.

Getting paid isnt the only way Tonya lives out her Almost Famous fantasy. She also gets constant phone calls from her overbearing mother who hates rock music and begs her not to do drugs. If scenes from Almost Famous keep happening in her personal life at this rate, shell be writing for Rolling Stone in no time!

Regardless of the implications for her budding journalism career, Tonya should be proud to earn actual cash. She has plenty of time to pitch even more paid gigs on the flight to her sisters wedding. Hopefully, that plane ride goes more smoothly than the one in her favorite film about music journalism!

FARGO, N.D. Local punk Calvin Patch McCambell is receiving less than stellar reviews from his community regarding his self-proclaimed act of altruism of putting a half-smoked cigarette in a clothing donation bin.

Yeah, Ive always been an empath, said McCambell. I could have really used that cigarette, but when I saw that donation bin I thought you know, I bet there are people out there who could use this more than me. There should really be cigarette donation bins, but Ive never seen one, so I figured the clothes bin was the best place to put it. It may not seem like much, but Im pretty sure Jesus said that its better for a poor man to give his only shirt than a rich man to give half his cash or something like that. Ive never actually been to church, but now I definitely dont need to go.

McCambell has been boastfully telling everyone who will listen about his questionable act of charity, including his housemate Stef Manner.

Patch has been on his high horse for weeks about this and its pissing me off, said Manner. He wont shut the fuck up about how hes really doing something for the community and making a difference and asking me and the other housemates what were doing to help. Hes never done anything for anybody unless he gets something out of it, and now all of a sudden hes a self-proclaimed phelanthropist. Also, I bummed him that cigarette, for fucks sake.

Lisa Punter, manager of the clothing charity Garments For Change, is furious about the situation.

I dont know who in their right mind would think putting a lit cigarette into a pile of clothing is a good idea, said Punter. Luckily, someone saw the smoke coming out and alerted the fire department. We werent able to salvage any of the donations from the bin, and multiple shelters were counting on a shipment from us this week. If this guy really wants to be charitable, hell donate his brain to science once he dies of lung cancer.

At press time, McCambell is considering launching his own not-for-profit organization Cigs For People Who Need Cigs, and has been seen scouring ashtrays for salvageable smokes.

Nowadays, Hip-hop and R&B are intrinsically connected, rap songs regularly feature soulful hooks over samples and nearly all pop songs have an MC do a verse, but in the late-1980s and early-1990s, the fusion of jazz, R&B, and rap over swinging drum machine samples was known as the phenomenon as New Jack Swing.

It was a sensation, I thought it had pervaded the culture enough that a quiz called How Well Do You Know New Jack Swing? But no one knows anything about it! So heres

3. Color Me Badd were featured on which 90s Fox show?

A. The Simpsons

4. The term New Jack Swing was coined in a profile of Teddy Riley in this now-defunct New York Alternative paper.

A. The New York Times

By the author of The Preppers Guide to Post-Disaster Communications and The Faithful Prepper

Many enmeshed within the world of art are well aware of Pythagoras discovery of the Golden Ratio a mysterious figure that is inherently beautiful. Just what is that ratio? 0.618, or around 3/5. Anytime you have a painting that utilizes this ratio, it will be recognized to have traits of beauty within it. Photographers will recognize the rule of thirds present within the Golden Ratio, being a rough estimate of 0.618.

Of course, the painters skill with a brush, the subject matter, and the time spent on the final piece are also vital components of determining how beautiful a piece will be, but the point remains: there is something inherently special about the Golden Ratio.

But are there other aspects of life where we can see the Golden Ratio at work? Can it be applied to fields other than art? What about the field of war? History appears to instruct us so. If we examine the life of war throughout history, we can find multiple examples of the Golden Ratio being applied successfully, resulting in victory for the man who uses its secrets, knowingly or not.

And while generals throughout history may not have realized this was what they were doing using the Golden Ratio the fact remains that it still seems to benefit the user. Perhaps mathematical beauty applied to war is an ingredient for constant success? Perhaps it can warn us as to when conflict is soon to turn sour?

If we take a closer look, I think youll be surprised at what we find out

10.) The Battle of Arbela 

War is part art, and few displayed this as well as the man who would have The Great tacked on to the end of his name: Alexander.

Alexander the Great would demonstrate his ability to paint a masterpiece with his sword at the Battle of Arbela, where he would finally vanquish his long-time foe, King Darius. The two men had fought each other for years, with Alexander even going so far as to capture Darius family.

The Battle of Arbela was identified by both men as to be the final decision as to who would reign throughout their section of the world. Both men were formidable enemies to behold, and knowing he was in for no easy fight, in preparation for Alexanders attack, Darius set about fortifying his position as best he could. Obstacles and traps were placed throughout the battlefield, scythed chariots were pre-positioned so that they could best mow down enemy troops, and longer swords and spears were handed out to his men. By some estimates, Darius position was a million men strong.

PMID:  Drug Dev Ind Pharm. 2023 Mar 7:1-14. Epub 2023 Mar 7. PMID: 36881020 Abstract Title:  Ginsenoside Rg3 Liposomes Regulate Tumor Microenvironment for the Treatment of Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Abstract:  OBJECTIVE: To improve the solubility and targeting of Ginsenoside Rg3 (G-Rg3), in the current study, we constructed a novel targeting functional material folic acid -poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate (FA-PEOz-CHMC, FPC) modified G-Rg3 liposomes (FPC-Rg3-L).METHODS: FPC was synthesized by using folic acid (FA) as a targeted head coupling with acid-activated poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate. The inhibitory effects of the G-Rg3 preparations on mouse breast cancer cells (4T1) were investigated by CCK-8 assay. Paraffin sections of female BALB/c mice viscera were taken for hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining after continuous tail vein injection of G-Rg3 preparations. BALB/c mice bearing triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) were used as animal models to investigate the inhibition of G-Rg3 preparations on tumor growth and improving quality of life.

AITA for crying at dinner on purpose to embarrass my dad and brother?

I know the title sounds ridiculous, but theres context!

Im currently in high school and I live with my dad and brother (my moms not in the picture anymore). While Im not very close with my father, hes not a bad dad. Hes just a little old fashioned so hes closer to my brother (they have the same hobbies, etc.).

Onto the problem: I dont know how it started, but for the past couple of my months both my dad and my brother will start teasing me about that time of the month any time I even get remotely irritated or upset at them. For example, my brother ate a snack of mine that I was saving, and when I got mad he just joked, oh no, is it that time again in a super annoying voice.

Ive kept trying to tell them separately and together that its really annoying and offensive, and I feel like theyre totally minimizing how I feel about things I feel I had valid reasons for being annoyed about. They just brush it off even MORE and chalk it up to my period no matter what time of the month it is.

Well, yesterday we had dinner with my whole family on my dads side for my aunts birthday. Before the dinner I got in a huge fight with my brother because he broke my iPad and instead of apologizing he just said the whole time of the month thing. I can admit that by the time we got to my Grand...

The Allegory of the cave for the 21^st Century

Rev. Kat Carroll Around 375 B.C., Plato wrote a series of books called The Republic. Book VII focuses on Platos philosophy on how people obtain knowledge about the better things in life; beauty, justice and what is good. But what if your observations are limited by your perception of reality and those who control it? I wonder what Plato would think of our ability to share ideas and knowledge at the speed of light via the world wide web.  It would be wonderful if always open and honest. But, our world views have been controlled and contrived, with well scripted propaganda played out as "news". This has been to direct the public on how to think, feel and act. Youve seen movies with public speakers and town criers yelling hear ye, hear ye.  Then came telegraph, printed newspaper and radio. Radio began broadcasting in the early 1920s, using their voices to inform and influence public opinion. Shortly after came television and a whole new way to influence people, including subliminal programing, still carried out today. Throughout WWII the entertainment industry was often controlled by the government to show the war in a positive light and keep civilian spirits high. Joseph Goebbels, German propaganda minister, called the radio the eighth great power, noting the influence of radio in promoting the Third Reich. Propaganda was also used In World War II to demoralize American GIs in the Pacific and European theatres. Anonymous voices on the radio were mixed with selected American music to push the virtues of Japanese and Nazi causes.  Servicemen were encouraged to stop fighting while false claims of American defeats along with Japanese or Nazi victories were aired.  In some instance, family members back home were mentioned as well as specific platoons. GIs dubbed the voice from Japan Tokyo Rose and the two from Germany were called Axis Sa...

Thanks to the discovery of 12 new moons in Jupiters orbit, the gas giant officially has the most known moons in the Solar System at 92, surpassing Saturns 83 satellites. Dr. Scott Sheppard spent the past couple of years tracking Jupiters new moons, which are now published by the Minor Planet Center.

All 12 of the new moons are too small for official names, take at least 550 days to complete one orbit, and are located in different orbiting groups. Nine are part of distant moon clusters that orbit Jupiter in retrograde, meaning they revolve around the planet in the opposite direction to the inner moons. The other three were within the prograde satellites, meaning they orbit from west to east, located between the large Galilean moons and the distant retrograde clusters.

Astronomers believe the new mini-moons are fragments left behind after larger moon collisions millions of years ago. We dont know exactly what crashed into the ancient moons, but Sheppards research from 2018 suggests that Valetudo, one of Ju...

PMID:  Neuroreport. 2023 Mar 22 ;34(5):290-298. Epub 2023 Mar 1. PMID: 36881751 Abstract Title:  Ginsenoside Rg1 attenuation of neurogenesis disorder and neuronal apoptosis in the rat hippocampus after spinal cord injury may involve brain-derived neurotrophic factor/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling. Abstract:  OBJECTIVE: We previously demonstrated that spinal cord injury (SCI) induced hippocampus injury and depression in rodents. Ginsenoside Rg1 effectively prevents neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we investigated the effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on the hippocampus after SCI.METHODS: We used a rat compression SCI model. Western blotting and morphologic assays were used to investigate the protective effects of ginsenoside Rg1 in the hippocampus.RESULTS: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor/extracellular signal-regulated kinases (BDNF/ERK) signaling was altered in the hippocampus at 5weeks after SCI. SCI attenuated neurogenesis and enhanced the expression of cleaved caspase-3 in the hippocampus; however, ginsenoside Rg1 attenuated cleaved caspase-3 expression and improved neurogenesis and BDNF/ERK signaling in the rat hippocampus. The results suggest that SCI affects BDNF/ERK signaling, and ginsenoside Rg1 can attenuate hippocampal damage after SCI.CONCLUSION: We speculate that the protective effects of ginsenoside Rg1 in hippocampal pathophysiology after SCI may involve BDNF/ERK signaling. Ginsenoside Rg1 shows promise as a therapeutic pharmaceutical product when seeking to counter SCI-induced hippocampal damage.

PMID:  Curr Res Food Sci. 2023 ;6:100464. Epub 2023 Feb 18. PMID: 36875892 Abstract Title:  Antiobesity potential of major metabolites fromkombucha: Untargeted metabolomic profiling and molecular docking simulations. Abstract:  The prevalence of obesity is rapidly increasing and poses serious health risks accompanied by a decrease in life expectancy and quality of life. Therefore, the therapeutic potential of natural-derived nutraceuticals against obesity and its comorbidities needs to be explored. Molecular inhibition of lipase enzymes and fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein has attracted some recent interest in efforts to find antiobesity agents. This study aims to innovate a fermented drink fromkombucha (CTK), find out their metabolites profile, and determine the antiobesity potential through a molecular docking study. The CTK formulation refers to previous research while the metabolites profile was determined using HPLC-ESI-HRMS/MS. Major compounds were selected based on best match value > 99.0% of the M/Z cloud database. A total of 79 compounds were identified in CTK, and 13 ideal compounds were selected to be simulated in the molecular docking study against human pancreatic lipase,-amylase,-glucosidase, porcine pancreatic lipase, and FTO proteins. The study found that Kaempferol, Quercetin-3-D-glucoside, Quercetin, Dibenzylamine, and-Pyrrolidinopropiophenone showed the best potential as functional antiobesity compounds since their affinity value ranked high in each respective receptor. In conclusion, the major compounds of CTK metabolites have the potential to be promising functional foods against obesity. However, furtherandstudies should validate these health benefits.

How come we don't have a plan to stop them?

Recently, I reviewed the horrendous subject of medical gaslighting, something that many have had to face throughout the pandemic, when one doctor after another made the claim that COVID-19 vaccine reactions cant exist and your physical problems must all be in your head. Today I will discuss a central foundation of medical gaslighting.

One of the major things that underlies almost all cults (along with many other organizations that seek to control large numbers of people) is that its adherents are trained to interpret everything they see through the lens of their ideology, and deny anything they observe which challenges it. Within the modern institution of science, this is accomplished by creating the mythology that humans are irrational beings whose observations cannot be trusted.

Science, then solves this problem it created by providing evidence that is more trustworthy than anyones individual flawed observations, and thus effectively silences any challenges to the institution (e.g., those inconvenient observations frequently made by members of the public).

Often in medicine, we observe this issue because doctors will insist that there is no evidence that an adverse reaction to a medical product could have occurred. Rather, the injury must have been a coincidence or the product of a pre-existing psychological problem. As you might expect, this mindset incentivizes pharmaceutical companies to do everything they can to produce doctored clinical trials that conceal any and all adverse events from their product.

This problem is epitomized by the gold standard of randomized controlled trials (RCT). In theory, these trials provide the most accurate data (to the point doctors will rarely consider anything else), but in reality, their benefit is much less than most realize (eloquently explained within this essay by Harvey Risch).

Conversely, it costs an enormous amount of money to conduct large RCTs, and that sponsor bias inevitably results in the trial being twisted to support the interests of its sponsors.

Sadly, although this is a longstanding issue, very little has been done to address it and the majority of doctors in practice are completely unaware of this problem, as they view RCTs as being a necessary box to check off in deciding what medical decisions to make.

Note: When the effect of a drug is very small, a large placebo controlled trial is necessary to detect the benefit (or just fabricate it), but when the benefit is large, it can be demonstrated with a much smaller trial. I and colleagues are...

Details continue to emerge about coverups and fraud that took place during Pfizer's COVID-19 shot trials. Die Welt, a mainstream media outlet in Germany, revealed that numerous subjects who suffered adverse events, including deaths, were removed from the trial data.^1,2

Meanwhile, trial data were manipulated "to create the illusion" the shot is 90% effective, for instance by excluding participants who got injected and developed COVID-19 within the next 14 days.³ Taken together, it leaves little doubt that COVID-19 shots cannot be trusted.

Deaths Occurred Within Days of Shots

The Die Welt report described several deaths that occurred shortly after the injections, but were excluded from the trial data. Among them was a person known as "Pfizer subject C4591001 1162 11621327." The person, a 60-year-old man, died three days after receiving the second dose of Pfizer's COVID shot, reportedly due to stroke⁴ and arteriosclerosis.

Independent journalist Igor Chudov detailed the case on Substack, noting that the man was discovered via a welfare check, and may have died within two days of the shot. Chudov reported:⁵

"According to the medical examiner, the probable cause of death was progression of atherosclerotic disease. Relevant tests were unknown. Autopsy results were not available at the time of this report.

In the opinion of the investigator, there was no reasonable possibility that the arteriosclerosis was related to the study intervention, concomitant medications, or clinical trial procedures, but rather it was related to suspected underlying disease. Pfizer concurred with the investigator's causality assessment."

However, it appears the medical examiner may have been unaware the man had received an experimental COVID-19 shot shortly before his death, and didn't give the examination a closer look. Pfizer also neglected to request the medical examiner's report to assess a potential link. Chudov continued:⁶

"They just took the police report's word that he died of 'arteriosclerosis,' stated that Covid Vax cannot cause 'arteriosclerosis,' and ruled it 'unrelated.' The patient was buried and forgotten. If I may guess, the examiner's diagnosis was not even accurate. The medications that the deceased took, indicate no ongoing, severe sclerotic disease."

Obesity and overweight have been called out as risk factors for COVID-19 since the early days of the pandemic, and research continues to suggest that carrying excess weight could raise your risk of COVID complications and death. Even mild obesity may raise the risk of COVID-19 severity, calling into question current United Kingdom guidelines that only classify severe obesity as a risk factor.

The new finding was revealed by researchers from the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna in Italy, who analyzed 482 COVID-19 patients hospitalized between March 1 and April 20, 2020.¹ "Obesity is a strong, independent risk factor for respiratory failure, admission to the ICU and death among COVID-19 patients," they wrote, and the extent of risk was tied to a person's level of obesity.

'Mild' Obesity Increases Risk of Severe COVID-19 Illness

The researchers used body mass index (BMI) to define obesity in the study, and although BMI can be misleading in determining whether or not you're at a healthy body weight, in part because it does not take muscle mass into account. It's the most commonly used measurement for defining obesity.

If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9, you are considered overweight and anything over 30 is considered obese. However, obesity is often divided into categories, with class 1 defined as a BMI of 30 to < 35, class 2 as a BMI of 35 to < 40 and class 3 defined as a BMI of 40 or higher, and considered "extreme" or "severe" obesity.²

The U.K.'s National Health Service states that you may be at moderate risk from coronavirus if you are "very obese" with a BMI of 40 or above,³ but the featured study found increased risks started at a BMI of 30, or "mild" obesity.

PMID:  Pharm Biol. 2000 ;38(1):51-6. PMID: 21214440 Abstract Title:  Influence of clitoria ternatea extracts on memory and central cholinergic activity in rats. Abstract:  Clitoria ternatea , commonly known as Shankpushpi, is widely used in the traditional Indian system of medicine as a brain tonic and is believed to promote memory and intelligence. We examined the effectiveness of alcoholic extracts of aerial and root parts of C. ternatea at 300 and 500 mg/kg doses orally in rats in attenuating electroshock-induced amnesia. Extracts at 300 mg/kg dose produced significant memory retention, and the root parts were found to be more effective. In order to delineate the possible mechanism through which C. ternatea elicits the anti-amnesic effects, we studied its influence on central cholinergic activity by estimating the acetylcholine content of the whole brain and acetylcholinesterase activity at different regions of the rat brain, viz., cerebral cortex, midbrain, medulla oblongata and cerebellum. Our results suggest that C. ternatea extracts increase rat brain acetylcholine content and acetyl cholinesterase a ctivity in a similar fashion to the standard cerebro protective drug Pyritinol.

Anthony Albaneses visit to India is already causing controversy after images released late last night showed a dusty runway that is expected to deliver plenty of uneven bounce for the PMs plane when it lands this morning. Theres not a lot in there for the captain. Its going to be tricky to navigate, one expert said.

Local authorities prepared two separate runways earlier in the week in order to keep the Australian delegation guessing. But images leaked this morning showed the favoured strip a red, dusty runway that will set the scene for a three-day spin-fest.   

Albanese said he wasnt going to get into a conversation about airstrip preparation, but confirmed he had added extra spinners to his team for the trip. The trip is planned to run for four days although many commentators predict it will be over by the end of day 1.

The African-American singer, songwriter, pianist, and civil rights activist Nina Simone has inspired artist Dread Scott for years. In an exhibition at New Yorks Cristin Tierney Gallery opening April 28, Dread Scott Goddam, his art will now be in conversation with Simones music. The show will feature screenprints and paintings inspired by four of her revolutionary songs: Mississippi Goddamn (1964), Four Women (1966), I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free (1967), and Pirate Jenny (1964). 

Scott, a quiet yet humble man, opened the door to greet me during a recent visit to his Brooklyn studio, which resembles a warehouse at first appearance but gradually reveals his small, warm workplace. Born Scott Tyler in 1965 in Chicago, Illinois, the artist adopted his professional name after Dred Scott, an enslaved person who sued for his freedom in the North via the Dred Scott v. Sandford case of 1857. Scott wants his name to remind people that the racism and exploitation that led to the Supreme Court decision, which denied Black citizenship and upheld slavery, persists in America; in his latest series of works, he asks viewers to question how they contribute and conform to that reality.

In November 2022, Aaron Carter was found dead in a bathtub in his Lancaster, California home. He was 34 years old. His death was quickly chalked up to drugs, mainly due to his past addictions.

However, as explained in my article Aaron Carter: The Suspicious Death of a Blatant Industry Slave, there were lots of strange facts and coincidences surrounding this untimely death. For starters, Aaron Carter literally said that people in the industry were trying to kill him.

In my article, I highlighted some similarities between Aaron Carter and Whitney Houston as they were both found dead in a bathtub. Also, in both cases, someone was allowed to access the crime scene (and possibly alter it) before the authorities could investigate it.

Now, there is yet another similarity between Carter and Houston: People close to them are saying that they were potentially murdered and that the investigations were botched.

In a desperate call for an actual homicide investigation, Aaron Carters mother posted on social media grisly pictures of the bathroom where the singer was found. Her goal: To prove that the official story doesnt add up.

In March, Bitcoin and Lightning builders and developers will congregate at a beachside resort in Da Nang, Vietnam.

Asias first Bitcoin and Lightning Network conference will take place in Da Nang, Vietnam, March 22-24, 2023 at the beachside Furama Resort, according to a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine. 

Hosts Neutronpay and BitcoinVN will organize the event in the town which some have dubbed Bitcoin Beach Vietnam. The two companies, along with Nunchuk, are all Vietnam-based Bitcoin-only companies, and are excited to share what is happening in Asia as it relates to Bitcoin projects, Bitcoin communities and Lightning adoption across the region.

Founder and CEO of Neutronpay Albert Buu, said of the decision that When we looked around, we noticed that other parts of the world were being represented with Bitcoin and Lightning events, but Asia and more specifically emerging markets in Asia had none and were being completely overlooked considering high bitcoin usage in the region. Were proud to say that since we announced the event it has been highly talked about and is now on many people's yearly must-hit conference calendars.

Were extremely excited to be putting on the world's first bitcoin & lightning event in Asia, Malcolm Weed, COO of Neutronpay said, echoing Buu. Bitcoin adoption is very strong across the region with countries like Vietnam (1), Philippines (2), India (4), Pakistan (6), Thailand (8), and China (10) all being in the top 10 global rankings for bitcoin adoption, making it the world's bitcoin epicenter. With over 4B people in Asia, representing half the world's population, 70% of which are unbanked, it is no wonder bitcoin adoption is so strong.

Starting on March 22, the event will commence with a beach meet and greet, followed by two days of speakers who will share the latest advancements in the Bitcoin ecosystem. These presentations will cover both the technological and economic aspects of Bitcoin. Companies building on the Lightning Network are also expected to be well-represented and provide updates on the current state of affairs and exciting ongoing projects.

Due to the limited availability of tickets, only 500 attendees will be able to participate. General admission two-day passes are currently priced at $500, but prices will rise again on March 22. Local Vietnamese attendees can access the non-profit event at a discounted rate of $40. The press release strongly encourages local participants to attend and learn about the technology, as well as meet Vietnamese companies that are building on Bitcoin and Lightning.

Software developers from Vietnam that are interested in working with the Lightning Network, are encouraged to cont...

From Aeon: When I was studying philosophy years ago, I had what felt like a nervous breakdown. I wasnt able to think clearly or articulate my thoughts, and sometimes stuttered. I thought something had gone wrong in my brain. I went for brain scans but found no answers. I ended up with a psychologist who turned out to be a relational psychoanalyst. That term didnt mean too much to me at the time, but it was life-defining. Through my therapy, I came to realise that there was, in fact, nothing wrong with my brain. It was in my relationships, especially early ones, where the issue lay. As my mind gradually came back to me, I trained to be a relational psychotherapist myself, and became fascinated by the ideas and theories behind it. What I found was nothing short of revolutionary.

Id already been deeply interested in the limitations of Western models of mind, especially in terms of the enduring influence of Ren Descartess dualism between mind and body, mind and world, which set the West into modernity in the 17th century. But this had been a very academic and abstract pursuit. In relational theory, however, I found not only the answers to the problems that our dualistic heritage bestowed upon us, but also to my own suffering, and the roots of much psychological and emotional distress in general.

Prior to Descartess time, mind and world had been understood as entangled, interpenetrating, open to each other. But in the inexorable march of the physical sciences and the mechanistic explanation of the world during the scientific revolution, mind (and soul) were mortally threatened. This led Descartes to split the mind off from the world (and the body that was unarguably part of the world) in order to save it from reduction to physical mechanism. All experience, meaning and purpose once of mind and world both  were withdrawn from the world and put solely into Descartess new mind-substance, something that had not existed before.

When the new scientific discipline of psychology separated off from philosophy in the mid- to late 19th century, it adopted an essentially the present day, certainly in mainstream psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy. Instead of seeing mind as a separate substance, this neo-Cartesian perspective assumes that the mind is somehow identifiable with the brain, brain states and brain functioning. Much like Descartes, however, it maintains the very same vision of mind as an experientially private interior, categorically cut off from the world and others outside.

For Descartes and for modern neo-Cartesian models alike, our experience of the world and others occurs on the inside in our individual minds or brains. For modern psychology, this meant that mental life could be studied and measured in isolation, lending itself to empirical and qu........

SANTA FE, N. Mex. Grounded in Clay does exactly what its supposed to do. Ground us in our pursuit of creation, explains Santiago Romero (Cochiti/Taos/Santa Ana). With tribal and family participation in the exhibitions curation, Romero lectured and demonstrated Painted Reflections: Isomeric Design in Ancestral Pueblo Pottery at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, as part of the shows ongoing programming. I met him and his cousin, Povi Romero, which led to a shared meal, laughs, and storytelling. Director of the Indian Arts Research Center (IARC) Elysia Poon claimed there is a serendipitous nature to this exhibition, which I can attest to.

Organized by the School for Advanced Research (SAR) and the Vilcek Foundation, along with over 60 curators and 21 tribal communities represented, Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery paves the way for equitable collaborative possibilities between museums and communities. The exhibition, on view through May 29 then traveling to New York, Houston, and St. Louis, explores the themes of utility, elements, connections through time and space, and ancestors. Speaking to community members, artists, and staff from SAR, one thing is evident through showcasing Pueblo Pottery: The exhibition centers relationships.
