Bark River bravo 1 "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-k2pame/product_images/uploaded_images/bravo-1-a2-2022-closed.jpg

Been thinking about getting this knife; from what I understand the bark river bravo 1 is one of the best bushcraft knives you can get. The convex edge just does a better job of cutting through wood. Ive seen it demonstrated on YouTube videos. Does anybody have experience with these knives? I think there fairly easy to sharpen as well. Just run it back and forth a few times on a strop...

Bitcoin Magazine Launches El Salvador Cover Edition Ordinals Giveaway "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Bitcoiners will have the opportunity to show how much they disrespect banks and love Bitcoin while potentially earning a Cover Edition ordinal.

Bitcoin Magazine has launched a "Disrespectors" giveaway with the potential to win an El Salvador print magazine Cover Edition ordinal, along with a copy of the magazine. The company is inviting members of the Bitcoin community to participate in a creative media contest that evangelizes Bitcoin while dissing its incumbent competition such as banks, financial institutions and central banks.

To participate in the campaign, Bitcoin community members need to join the Bitcoin Magazine Discord and invite their friends, then publish creative media on Twitter such as photos, drawings, posters, stickers or videos that convey the campaign message, "Bitcoin will replace the banking system." 

Examples include putting Bitcoin stickers on a fiat ATM or a bank's door or window, flipping off the Federal Reserve building with a Bitcoin Magazine in hand, or giving a Bitcoin Magazine to a banker or central banker inside the institution.

The campaign's launch date is April 25, 2023, and the submission deadline is May 9, 2023. Each cover to be given away has been manually plastic-wrapped and identified with a unique, numbered sticker. To be eligible to win, entrants must join the Bitcoin Magazine Discord, then create and publish content on Twitter, and use the hashtag #Disrespector in their content.

There are two ways of getting an El Salvador Cover Edition ordinal: inviting users to the Discord and putting out good social media content. The top 10 people with the most invites to the Bitcoin Magazine Discord by May 9, 2023, will each win one El Salvador Cover Edition, while the top 10 pieces of content disrespecting banks in favor of Bitcoin will each win one El Salvador Cover Edition.

"Bitcoin Magazine has three overarching ordinals collections. The first and already launched is the Historic Covers collection, which represents our flagship collectibles that honor the original, one-of-a-kind Bitcoin Magazine print run. Both the print and digital versions of those magazines and covers are limited edition and will never be reissued or re-inscribed," the launch announcement read. The Redux Collection, mirrors the print collection on our store and features the magazines issued since the company restarted printing in 2021 Finally, there is Bitcoin Magazines artistic ordinals collection, Cover Editions. This collection is the artistic branch, which houses additional ordinals that arent 1/1 inscriptions. The inscriptions in this giveaway are part of this collection."

Shiba Inu Lead Dev Touts Go Mode, Will Price Follow? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of Shiba Inu, has shared an exciting message with the SHIB community in the official Shibarium Telegram group today. It comes at a time when the SHIB price is facing a make-or-break moment, as NewsBTC reported yesterday.

Exciting Updates For The Shiba Inu Community?

The lead developer was responding to a user of the group who pointed out that the last Medium update on the ongoing development of the layer 2 network was made a while ago. Kusama responded that the project is progressing rapidly and that members of the Shiba Inu community already have plenty of updates:

I think the army has plenty of updates as the chain activity and all the tokens are very public. Were in go mode, not bro mode.

What exactly Kusama means by this can only be speculated. In the last medium update on Shibarium, he announced that the layer-2 technology will be released on the mainnet before the end of 2023. However, an exact date is not yet known. The latest comment by Kusama suggests that significant progress is currently being made towards the mainnet launch.

On the other hand, the Shiba Inu lead developer could just be hinting at the progress being made throughout the ecosystem. Bone Shibaswap (BONE), the governance token of the Shibaswap ecosystem, recently received a listing from the major crypto exchange OKX. In addition, Kusama recently announced the forthcoming release of ShibaSwap 2.0 in a Telegram message.

Remarkably, it is not uncommon for Kusama to use metaphors to announce progress in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Even before the numerous encrypted messages. Just yesterday, Kusama stated that he was working with Shiba Inu team members to achieve the impossible.

SHIB Price Still Faces Make-Or-Break Moment

The deep correction in the crypto market has caused the Shiba Inu (SHIB) price to break down an ascending triangle pattern that has been developing since early March. Now SHIB is trading near the crucial support level at $0.00001005.

If SHIB breaks this level to the downside as well, the uptrend that started earlier this year would be in jeopardy. SHIB needs to stay in the trading range between $0.00001005 and $0.00001151 to avoid a break of the trend in the higher time frame.

If the bulls fail to defend the trading range, a decline to $0.00000965 would be the most likely scenario before SHIB could possibly fall back to the $0.00000855 price level.

Currently, a symmetrical triangl...

Artist Paints on Garments To Turn Them Into One-of-a-Kind Fairytale Dresses "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Artist Paints on Garments To Turn Them Into One-of-a-Kind Fairytale Dresses

Hand Painted Dresses by Sylvie Facon

From blooming flowers to a library of books, Sylvie Facons dresses bring enchanting storybooks to life. Based in France, she combines embroidery, beading, and painting to create one-of-a-kind garments that look like works of art.

Due to the level of detail in these magical gowns, it should come as no surprise that they can take hundreds of hours to complete. This is because Facon has to use her skills to embellish delicate fabrics such as tulle and silk with her illustrations. In one dress, for instance, a garden of purple flowers grows from the bodice, blooming into the straps that keep the dress in place. Another features a painting of a scenic place, which is made three-dimensional through stitching and beading.

Typically, Facon contains the most detailed elements of her designs to the bodice of the dress. However, she usually tries to connect the art that is placed there with the gown below. Oftentimes this means matching the colors, creating a pleasing transition from one section to another. This can be seen in her book-inspired garment, which makes it look like the model is wrapped in a library. Facon cleverly divides the skirt into panels. each one embellished in such a way that it looks like the spine of a book.

You can find her dresses available for purchase via Facon's website, and keep up to date with her latest creations by following her on Instagram.

Artist Sylvie Facon creates dresses that are straight from a fairy tale.

Will AVAX Price Get A Lift From Avalanche NFTs? Lets Examine The Metrics "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

AVAX, the native token of Avalanche blockchain, has been making headlines lately as the Avalanche NFT transfers soared to record figures in the month of April alone. 

As the blockchain world continues to expand, the surge in NFT transfers on the Avalanche network raises a burning question Will this help AVAX price go up?

Lets explore the possibilities.

AVAX NFT Collections, dApps Gain Traction On Avalanche Network

The AVAX token is set to benefit from the latest surge in NFT transfers on the Avalanche network, which has seen over 2 million NFT transfers in April alone, five times greater than March. 

This trend can be attributed to the blockchains fast and low-cost transactions and scalable platform, which has made it a preferred choice for NFT creators and collectors.

The surge in Avalanche NFTs can also be traced to the popularity of blue-chip AVAX NFT collections such as Chikn and Doggerinos, which have experienced significant volume spikes in recent months, according to AVAX NFT Stats.

The growing interest in the Avalanche network has also translated into a rise in activity on dApps such as Trader Joe, a leading DEX on the network.

As a result, the Avalanche network has seen a substantial increase in transaction volume and quantity, suggesting that AVAX is poised to gain further traction in the blockchain and crypto space. 

In the past month, Trader Joe has seen a 184% surge in the number of unique active wallets on its platform, reflecting the increasing demand for decentralized trading on the network.

The future appears promising for the AVAX token, as more users explore the platforms potential for NFTs and dApps.

Polygon Exchange Supply Spikes, More Downtrend Incoming? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

On-chain data shows the Polygon exchange supply has seen a sharp spike recently, something that could lead to a further downtrend for the asset.

Polygon Exchange Supply Rises As Whale Makes 60 Million MATIC Deposit

According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, around 7.92% of the entire MATIC circulating supply is on exchanges now. The relevant indicator here is the supply on exchanges, which measures the percentage of the total Polygon supply thats currently being stored in the wallets of all centralized exchanges.

When the value of this metric rises, it means the investors are currently depositing a net number of coins into exchanges right now. Since one of the main reasons why holders may transfer their MATIC to these platforms is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can have bearish implications for the price of the cryptocurrency.

On the other hand, decreasing values of the indicator imply withdrawals are taking place on exchanges currently. Such a trend may be a sign that investors are accumulating the asset at the moment, and hence, can be bullish for the price in the long term.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Polygon supply on exchanges over the last few months:

Polygon Supply on Exchanges

As displayed in the above graph, the Polygon supply on exchanges (colored in red) has seen a sharp jump during the past day, suggesting that these platforms have received a large amount of the asset.

In total, this inflow spike saw around 60 million MATIC entering the wallets of the exchanges. The source of this deposit looks to have been a single whale entity, which is in fact one of the largest holders of the cryptocurrency.

The cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert has also caught the transfer and has revealed that the transaction was coming from a wallet attached to the Polygon staking service, and its destination was the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.

The Governments Sprawling Effort to Censor (True) Information During the Pandemic "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

This article was originally published by Jon Militimore at The Foundation for Economic Education. 

The Twitter Files exposed a lot of malfeasances, but one effort spearheaded by Stanford University and federal agencies was particularly Orwellian in both concept and practice.

In July 2022, Twitter permanently suspended Rhode Island physician Andrew Bostom after awarding the epidemiologist and longtime researcher at Brown University a fifth strike for spreading misinformation.

A July 26 tweet alleging that there was no solid evidence Covid-19 vaccines had prevented any children from being hospitalizedonly RCT data we have from children reveals ZERO hospitalizations prevented by vaccination vs. placebowas apparently the final straw.

The funny thing was, it appeared Bostoms tweet was true.

Dr. Anish Koka, a cardiologist, and writer said he was initially skeptical of Bostoms claim. But after speaking with him for more than an hour, he realized Bostom was citing the governments own data, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) briefing document that included randomized controlled trial (RCT) data on children.

Dr. Bostoms tweet appears quite correct as per the FDA documents, Koka wrote on Substack. In the RCTs available, there does not appear to be evidence that the vaccine prevented hospitalizations.

Bostoms permanent suspension was one of many anecdotes shared by journalist David Zweig in a December Twitter Files thread viewed by more than 64 million people, which exposed how the government worked with Twitter to try to rig the Covid debate.

It turns out this was not the only one of Bostoms tweets that was true but was nevertheless flagged for misinformation.

A review of Twitter log files revealed that an internal audit, conducted after Bostoms attorney contacted Twitter, found that only 1 of Bostoms 5 violations were valid, Zweig notes. The one Bostom tweet found to still be in violation cited data that was legitimate but inconvenient to the public health establishments narrative about the risks of flu versus Covid in children.

In other words, all five of Bostoms tweets that had been flagged as misinformation were legitimate. At the very least, four out of five were, and thats according to Twitters own internal audit.......

Top Whistleblower Dr Rima Laibow Warns Globalists Preparing New Bio Attack "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Longtime whistleblower, Dr Rima Laibow joins Alex Jones to talk about the genocidal COVID Hoax, which has been decades in the making, according to the elites she used to treat, who used to tell her about it. She asks:
How is this possible? How can every single nation in the world, 196 nation-states; how could every single one of them sign on to destroying their people? To giving up their sovereignty? To eliminating any kind of personal informed consent? How can any country do that and how is it that EVERY one is doing that? The actual the source of the evil, the organization, the destruction comes from John D Rockefeller Sr and his son, John D Rockefeller Jr. Before the turn of the 20th century, the worlds first billionaire, John D Rockefeller Sr and his son, Junior thought about the society they wanted to see. Now, these men were genocidalists, they were eugenicists, they were ruthless, they were psychopaths. They had the realization that they could use predatory philanthropy to shape every aspect of the world. And they laid out the world that they wanted to see which is the world the Globalists are now moving towards. The social movement at that time was called Fabian Socialism, it was not called Globalism but it was the same thing: Utter, total domination, from the DNA level, out. They paid for the science and they directed the science and they used philanthropy and government influence, which they bought and which they created over decades and decades, worldwide. They penetrated every government on the planet and they created the science that would allow them to take control of our DNA, to turn us into parts of the Internet of Things; their servants, their underclass, their Untermenschen and leave them at the top, the neoaristocrats. This plan has been in operation, waiting only the science of genetic manipulation, pulsed microwave transmission, nanotechnolgy, etc. And now, they have the science and theyre ready to go.

The oil paintings evoke the Georgian tradition of the lovers eye, sentimental miniatures depicting the facial features of a spouse, child, or family member often found on jewelry of the time. These tiny works would also allow the wearer to obscure the exact identity of the subject, making them ambiguous keepsakes for affairs and other clandestine activities.

For Carson, this amorous practice becomes the basis of inquiry as she imagines her lively characters, their stories, and how they connect to the history of such unconventional canvasesan avid antique collector, shes currently working on an illustrated guide on the process, as well as a series of paintings paired with the antiques they depict. Blending past and present, her pieces highlight the unknown, whether the lineage of the vessel itself or the identity of the subject. She explains:

Im interested in painting as not just an optical illusion, but as an illusion of lifeof otherness, of richness, of engagement, of that delicate connection we have with other beings which allows us to feel, for a moment, not so alone. With compositions highlighting the gaze, these subjects tell us their stories with a single look and ask for us to tell them our stories in return, thereby creatingunlike the alienation of much modern arta welcoming intimacy.

Polygon (MATIC) Continues To Plunge; Why Are The Bears Still Dominant? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Polygon (MATIC) is below the $1 mark today as the bears continue to pressure its price. From April 19, 2023, it moved into a downtrend gradually to its current price level of $0.966 today.

The recent price volatility and decline experienced by Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to have a ripple effect on other tokens in the market. However, MATIC remains above its January 1 price of $0.76 despite the decline, holding onto most of its gains.

Nevertheless, a sweep of previous lows remains possible if the bears maintain their charge. Investors and the general crypto market hope the current decline is a minor correction, not a downtrend similar to the crypto winter of 2022. 

Will MATIC Pivot Off The $0.9321 Critical Support Level?

Some major cryptocurrencies are in a downtrend, excluding a few altcoins with minor gains. The impending US rate hikes and other factors, such as rising bitcoin mining difficulty, could affect the market negatively.

Polygon ranks number 9 on the list of cryptocurrencies and is a platform for Ethereum scaling. Also, with the recent upgrades, users can create Optimistic Rollup chains and ZK Rollup chains as required by the developer. Its multi-functionality is one of the reasons its community is optimistic about a rally in the coming weeks. 

MATIC is in a downtrend forming a third consecutive red candle on the daily chart with lower lows. It has dropped below its 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), a bearish trend in the short and long term. MATIC moved into the downtrend on April 19, forming a long red candle that closed below the 50-day SMA.

Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 31.91, descending into the oversold region of 30. It implies that the bears are in control of the assets price. However, MATIC is approaching the $0.9321 support level, which previously acted as a pivot point on January 1, 2023. MATICs RSI will move to the oversold region when its touches this level forcing the bulls to rally again.

Expect a price increase once the asset enters the overbought zone. The next support level is $0.7472; the resistance levels are $1.026 and $1.1914. Also, the $1 price level has become a psychological resistance point.

The cheater.

I know my husband cheated on me during the pandemic.

For some context, we were actually stuck apart for almost 2 years with covid, and at the same time I was also waiting for my green card which meant I couldnt visit him.

He overcame to visit me once during this 2 years and I saw he had a dating app on his phone. I checked the messages and there one lady on there, and it was obvious from the messages that they had met up for s**. It looked like it was only once and there wasnt a whole lot of messages.

I never confronted him about it and I dont really want to. Since Ive been in the states nothing else has gone on, and hes super attentive and loving and no dating apps on his phone or computer.

I feel that if I told him I know, or told any friends or family they would push for me to leave him or think I was an idiot if I didnt. We have a baby boy now and I would never want to disrupt his family life over something which I perceive to be a one night stand that didnt mean anything.

On the down low.

Pepe Coins Mega Rise Pinned To This Smart Contract Fix "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Pepe Coin (PEPE) is soaring and has become one of the most popular meme coins behind Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. 

However, this wouldnt have been the case if the Pepe Coin smart contract deployer had not chosen to do what was good for the project and, by extension, the community. The team renounced the deployer contract, sending it to a null address. 

Doing this meant no one could tamper with the smart contract and effect changes that could destroy the meme coins credibility.

Intervening For Credibility

According to curious online sleuths, the deployer of Pepe Coin smart contracts had god-like powers before changes were made. 

For example, the team could limit the number of token transactions, modify the maximum token trading amount, the maximum position a trader can initiate, or even suspend trading of a given address. Moreover, the smart contract included a black listing function. Subsequently, this effectively empowered the team to bar certain addresses from holding and trading the token.

With this, observers noted that Pepe Coin, though popular, wasnt decentralized as many thought and project owners could, at any time, rug pull investors. 

A rug pull is a common scam in decentralized finance (DeFi) where a team builds a project, in this case, Pepe Coin, convinces users to supply liquidity and buy the token. Afterward, the team leaves the project and sells their portion forcing prices lower and leaving investors holding mud. 

The possibility of the team pulling out a rug pull was plugged when the deploying smart contract was sent to a null address on April 14.

The Rise Of Pepe Coin

Pepe Coin is a meme coin that has no utility. Instead, the team behind the project aimed to ride on Pepe the Frog, created in 2005 by Matt Furie. The meme coin project has no connection to Furie. 

Pepe Coin was launched in mid-March and with little fanfare. There was no presale, and the total supply was 420.69 trillion. Days after launching, Pepe Coin exploded to be one of the most popular meme coins. 

The token has surged to command a market cap of over $105 million. It has a slot in the top 300 projects by market capitalization, according to the coin tracker, CoinGecko

At the same time, 93.1% of all PEPE in circulation were sent to a liquidity pool in Uniswap, and liqui...

Torturing data to predict bitcoin prices: A book excerpt "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

We are pleased to present an excerpt from Distrust: Big Data, Data-Torturing, and the Assault on Science, a new book by Pomona College economics professor Gary Smith. The Washington Post said the books lessons are very much needed.

The fact that changes in bitcoin prices are driven by fear, greed, and manipulation has not stopped people from trying to crack their secret. Empirical models of bitcoin prices are a wonderful example of data torturing because bitcoins have no intrinsic value and, so, cannot be explained credibly by economic data. 

Undaunted by this reality, a National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) paper reported the mind-boggling efforts made by Yale University economics professor Aleh Tsyvinski and a graduate student, Yukun Liu, to find empirical patterns in bitcoin prices. 

Tsyvinski currently holds an endowed chair named after Arthur M. Okun, who had been a professor at Yale from 1961 to 1969, though he spent six of those eight years on leave so that he could work in Washington on the Council of Economic Advisors as a staff economist, council member, and then chair, advising presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson on their economic policies. He is most well known for Okuns law, which states that a 1 percentage-point reduction in unemployment will increase U.S. output by roughly 2 percent, an argument that helped persuade President Kennedy that using tax cuts to reduce unemployment from 7 to 4 percent would have an enormous economic payoff. 

After Okuns death, an anonymous donor endowed a lecture series at Yale named after Okun, explaining that

Her Parents Wanted Her To Believe In Santa. Her Aunt Told Her The Truth. Who Is In The Wrong? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

While most kids spend at least some of their childhood believing Santa Claus is real, a majority realize the truth (or ask for it) by the time their age reaches double digits.

What should you do if your child reaches an age where theyre the last one holding onto the magic?

OP says you tell them so you can save them trouble at school, but the kiddos parents dont see the issue with continued blind faith.

Her niece is 13 and still believes in Santa with her whole heart. OP wondered if she might not be playing along or have some questions, but the parents said that wasnt the case.

I (F30) have a niece who is 13. Up until a week ago, she still believed in Santa. I asked her parents (my brother and SIL) if she was just pretending to still believe to not make them feel bad, or maybe to get more gifts or something, but they were adamant she still believed.

Last Christmas Eve I was at their house for dinner, and she kept saying things like Im so excited for Santa to come tonight and telling me everything she had asked him for and wondering what country he was in at that very moment.

She doesnt have any younger siblings, so its not like she was saying this for anybody elses benefit. She is a smart girl, does well in school, and has no developmental delays that I know of.

She just, for whatever reason, still believed in Santa at age 13.

They were happy to have her believe because it saved them some trouble, behavior-wise, and didnt want to give that up.

Her parents didnt seem to have an issue with it. They said they absolutely did not want to tell her the truth and ruin the magic of Christmas.

Plus they said it was beneficial for them because believing in Santa would encourage her to be good in the hopes of getting better presents/...

Total Ethereum (ETH) Locked Hits New Highs On Increase In Deposits Over Withdrawals "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Ethereum (ETH) has seen a surge in price throughout April, and this increase has corresponded with a significant milestone for Ethereums Layer 2 networks: the total value locked (TVL) has surpassed $10 billion as of April 14, according to L2Beat, an analytics and research website about Ethereum layer 2 scaling.  

This marks a new record high for the amount of ETH locked on the Ethereum network since the Shapella upgrade. With the TVL of Ethereums Layer 2 networks hitting an all-time high, many are speculating about the potential for further growth and adoption of these companion networks. 

After the Shapella Upgrade was put in place, the price of Ethereum [ETH] became more volatile. Still, the Ethereum network has gotten a lot of attention, as shown by the fact that most deposits have been made on its beacon chain. There have been more deposits compared to withdrawals on the networrk.

As more and more users turn to Layer 2 solutions to address the high fees and congestion on the main Ethereum network, it remains to be seen how this trend will continue to evolve in the coming months.

Nansens records show that since the Shapella upgrade, the amount of ETH locked on the Ethereum network has reached a new all-time high. As of April 24, the total amount of ETH locked was 18,879,775 ETH.

Ethereum Layer 2 Networks See Record TVL

TVL is a metric used in the cryptocurrency world to measure the amount of digital assets locked in various protocols or applications. It is often used as an indicator of the level of activity and demand within a specific DeFi (decentralized finance) ecosystem.

The TVL of Ethereums Layer 2 networks, which are complementary networks to Ethereum, also increased along with the rising value of ETH in April, peaking at a record high of $10 billion on mid-April.

Urine Wheels in Medieval Manuscripts: Discover the Curious Diagnostic Tool Used by Medieval Doctors "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

If you went to the doctor in late medieval Europe hoping to get a health complaint checked out, you could be sure of one thing: youd have to hand over a urine sample. Though it dates back at least as far as the fourth millennium BC, the practice of uroscopy, as its called, seems to have been regarded as a near-universal diagnostic tool by the thirteenth century. At Medievalists.net, you can read excerpts of the then-definitive text On Urines, written about that time by French royal physician Gilles de Corbeil.

When a skilled physician examines a patients urine, de Corbeil explains, health or illness, strength or debility, deficiency, excess, or balance, are determined with certainty. Urine darkened by a black cloudiness, and muddied with sediment, if produced on a critical day of an illness, and accompanied by poor hearing and insomnia, portends a flux of blood from the nose; depending on other factors, the patient will die or recover.

Bitcoin Wyckoff And Elliott Wave Predict This Next Price Move "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

The Bitcoin (BTC) price has been trading in a range between $27,000 and $28,000 since Friday last week, with $27,800 currently being the most important resistance level to kick off a move to the upside. As recently as last Tuesday, BTC was trading above $30,000 before plunging more than 10%.

However, Wyckoff and Elliott Wave analysts agree that the move is not a cause for concern. According to trader and market psychology coach Christopher Inks, a minimum target of $42,350 is expected for Bitcoin as part of its next bounce.

Heres What Wyckoff Analysis Says About The State Of Bitcoin

The Wyckoff method was invented by Richard Wyckoff in the early 1930s and proposes to read the market using causal fundamentals that actually predict market movements. The accumulation and distribution schemes are probably the most popular part of Wyckoffs work in the crypto and Bitcoin community.

The models break down the accumulation and distribution phases into five phases (A through E), along with several Wyckoff events. Inks writes in his analysis that Bitcoin is most likely in an accumulation according to the Wyckoff method.

The Elliott Wave count may or may not be correct locally. We want to see an impulsive breakout above that ascending red dashed resistance to signal that the wave ((ii)) flat structure may be complete, but a breakout above wave (b) is required to add confidence to that count, writes Inks, who shared the chart below.

Bitcoin Wyckoff and Elliott Wave

If Inks count is correct, then another breakout has the daily pivot as its target. This means that the wave ((iii)) of 3 from here has a minimum target of $42,350 per Bitcoin. According to the analyst, this theory is also supported by the fact that the RSI on the daily chart is currently showing a hidden bullish divergence, with confirmation that it is complete still pending.

Stephen King Recommends 96 Books for Aspiring Writers to Read "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

I first discovered Stephen King at age 11, indirectly through a babysitter who would plop me down in front of daytime soaps and disappear. Bored with One Life to Live, I read the stacks of mass-market paperbacks my absentee guardian left aroundromances, mysteries, thrillers, and yes, horror. It all seemed of a piece. Kings novels sure looked like those other lurid, pulpy books, and at least his early works mostly fit a certain formula, making them perfectly adaptable to Hollywood films. Yet for many years now, as hes ranged from horror to broader subjects, Kings cultural stock has risen far above his genre peers. Hes become a serious writer and even, with his 2000 book On Writingpart memoir, part textbooksomething of a writers writer, moving from the supermarket rack to the pages of The Paris Review

What You Need to Know About Growing Potatoes "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

The world is changing. We can see it in the grocery store and feel it in the air. Shortages are still a thing, and the prices on the available things are outrageous! Being a forward-looking person whos trying to adapt to the new normal, youve decided to grow at least some of your own food. Congratulations! Every bite that you can grow can only help. The food will taste better and is likely to be more nutritious. And growing potatoes can be one of the best choices for your garden!

While food from the garden isnt free, trading time and effort is quite likely a benefit to your finances. There are a number of ways to garden in the city. There are a ton of resources on this site discussing everything from water efficiency to kitchen scrap gardening to community garden plots to gardening in arid environments and apartments. The Search feature will be very helpful here. 

But what about growing specific items? Vegetables are much like people in the sense that they prefer different conditions in order to be happy and produce food. In this article, Ill discuss growing potatoes. Theyre awesome for preppers because you get a lot of caloric bang for your buck.

Selecting what kind of potatoes to grow

Potatoes come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Red, white, blue, purple, waxy, and fingerling to name a few. These dont lend themselves well to hydroponics because the tuber will often shatter the reservoir or sit in the nutrient solution, becoming wet and mushy. They can, however, be grown both in the ground and in containers. Ive grown them successfully both ways. Ive also learned a few lessons the hard way, which Ill share. 

Did you know that potatoes come in both determinant and indeterminate varieties? I didnt for many years, and this information isnt listed on the bag tag, at least not where I buy them. So whats the difference and why does it matter? SF Gate explains

Determinate potatoes are considered fast-growing and produce tubers...

Monster.com Listing Clearly About Frontman Position for Mtley Cre "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

LOS ANGELES Popular job board Monster.com recently posted a position that was clearly about becoming the new frontman for Mtley Cre, hesitant applicants reported.

We dont want anyone to think a legacy metal band has resorted to trolling a job board for a new singer. Lets just say we are an exceptionally dedicated cover band with a generous touring budget looking to hire a new singer between now and later today, said hiring manager Thomas Leesmith. Regardless, the ideal candidate should have one to three years of crowd work experience, a basic knowledge of hairspray brands, and a passion for singing about trashy women. The ability to lift a 50-pound mattress out of a hotel window isnt required but is certainly desired.

Job seekers who applied and were able to obtain an interview said they were subjected to a line of questioning that raised red flags.

I just graduated with a music degree, and in typical fashion Ive had no luck finding anything in my field until I applied for FRONTMAN NEEDED ASAP. Ten minutes later, I had a Zoom call come through with some tired, vaguely familiar old guys dressed like my dad 40 years ago, said potential candidate Patrick White. They didnt even ask any questions relating to my musical background, just stuff like who was my favorite Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and if I thought Vince Neil was a little bitch. I passed on it anyway because it required 100% travel, and I cant find a dog sitter on such short notice.

Representatives from Monster.com would neither confirm nor deny the source of the job listing, but did see that it fit a pattern of bands from that era.

As older bands royalties start to dry up, they need to hit the nostalgia circuit in order to maintain their lifestyles. Theres a substantial amount of washed up 80s hair metal acts whose original members are either dead or not on speaking terms, so they come to us, said data analyst Meg Foreman. From frontmen to groupie wranglers, we estimate about 70% of these acts troll job boards for new members, while about 30% go the nepotism route and bring in their kids. I cant confirm if this is the real Cre, but Ill admit this is eerily reminiscent of how Gary Cherone joined Van Halen.

As of press time, the job listing was updated to clarify that while the position does come with health insurance, it would not cover any pre-existing STDs.

Every Bayside Album Ranked "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

With a career spanning over two decades, New York punk darlings Bayside have given their devoted fan base eight albums to laugh, cry, mosh, and cry some more too. Ranking such a beloved catalog that means so much to so many people seemed like an impossible task, but we did it anyway because we need money for our therapy bills.

8. Vacancy (2016)

Inspired by frontman Anthony Raneris split from his wife & move to Nashville, Vacancy is by far Baysides most personal album. Were all for artists being honest and vulnerable, but this one kind of makes you feel like youre sitting in divorce court with Raneri and his ex-wife without being paid a lawyers rate. It didnt affect our ranking, but Raneris ex did try and bribe us to put this one last, which we think speaks well to its content.

Priest Officiating Wedding Pronounces Influencer Couple Wife Guy and Wife "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

LOS ANGELES Local priest Father Charles Bovie recently pronounced newlywed social media influencers wife guy and wife during their wedding ceremony, doomscrolling sources confirmed. 

Its time to leave my boyfriend boy phase behind and marry someone whos close enough to my soulmate, said newly christened wife guy Chase Garmin. Ive already got my next two dozen posts planned out. The first six will be from the wedding itself and each one will contain no less than eight paragraphs about how lucky I am that I get to be married to my third or fourth best friend. Then Ill release a handful of reels that feature professionally choreographed dances with my partner in crime. And, of course, I cant wait to pop off a few my wife Borat voice bits in my stories. I just hope this marriage lasts, because I dont think I want to be known as a divorce guy online. 

Father Bovie seemed almost reluctant to refer to Garmin as that term. 

He really, really wanted me to use wife guy instead of husband at the end of the ceremony, and I didnt see anything in the Bible that said I couldnt use that phrase specifically, said Bovie. Usually my part takes about 15 minutes and Im then out of there because weddings kind of freak me out, but this guy had us redo and reshoot several takes for what he called the gram. Even had to do the I now pronounce you part a good 20 times before he was satisfied with the lighting. I almost miss the old days when the husband did not care at all about being married. Were living unprecedented times.

Couples counselor Judith Lichtenstein noted that Garmins behavior isnt unique among certain demographics. 

These types of men love to romanticize romance as if theyre trying to convince themselves its what they want, said Lichtenstein. But fitting into an internet persona is kind of a must if you want to get noticed online. Not only do you have your standard wife guys, but you also have entrepreneur bros, fitfluencers, floppy hat free spirits, hike dudes, backward hat crypto bruhs, meme teens, motivational males, van lifers, tiny beanie photographers, exhausted parents, and corgis. And you have to pick one, or else youll be stuck with 34 followers max.

In related news, a nearby millennial couple was seen filming a gender reveal party for their new houseplant.

5 Sexual Positions That Dont Matter Because Youre on Antidepressants "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Has the passion drained from your bedroom? If so, youll want to spice things up with a mix of tried-and-true and adventurous sex positions. So we compiled five mind-blowing, toe-curling, earth-shattering sexual positions before we realized youre just on Prozac so none of these will make you orgasm anyway.

Missionary
Ah, an oldie but a goldie. At least this way you can look deep into your partners eyes and keep reassuring them that you are enjoying yourself despite a complete lack of energy and passion. Why bother varying it up? It wont make a difference.

Doggy Style
You can say this is another basic one but it honestly doesnt matter what position youre in. Youll be lucky if you can stay hard long enough for your partner to get on let alone get off. At least in this position you can stare off into space and plan your next psychiatrist appointment.

The Rear Admiral
Hey, it is the 2020s and a little backyard play is no longer seen as taboo. Maybe a little stimulation from the backdoor will get your engine purring once again. Then again, most likely, it is just going to hurt and give you something else to complain about.

Mystical Mirage
To be honest I had ChatGPT create this one. I am going to assume it has something to do with using a rubber phallus instead of your normal member since you cant stay hard anymore.

The Bouncy Castle
I dont even know what this one is but my big brothers friends told me about it when I was a kid. I assume it has something to do with rubber sheets and helium. That sounds like an awful lot of work. How about you just go catch up on The Mandalorian? You know thats what you really want to do.

Atheist Republic News Summary: Apostate Prophet Blasphemes Hinduism "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

  • Apostate Prophet Blasphemes Hinduism

https://twitter.com/ApostateProphet/status/1647861778049556480?s=20

A recent episode of the Atheist Republic New Show delved into the fierce backlash ex-Muslim creators, including Apostate Prophet, have faced from Hindu fundamentalists. The controversy began when Apostate Prophet, a well-known ex-Muslim content creator, tweeted an AI-generated image portraying the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman, in a manner that some Hindus found offensive. This sparked a range of reactions, with some even resorting to hate-filled and derogatory language towards Apostate Prophet, even assuming he was a Muslim. The Atheist Republic team shed light on the extreme reactions from the Hindu fundamentalist community, including threats of violence and harassment not just towards the critics but also extending to their families. Unwavering in their commitment to counter the hate and vitriol from the Hindu far-right, they plan to also stand in solidarity with those who bravely defy Hindu fundamentalism.

  • Self-Beheading: Indian Couple Commits Shocking Sacrificial Ritual

https://www.atheistrepublic.com/news/self-beheading-indian-couple-commits-shocking-sacrificial-ritual

Location: India

A shocking news story from the Indian state of Gujarat has been making headlines worldwide. It's the tragic tale of a couple who took part in a gruesome sacrificial ritual that ended with their own decapitation. According to reports, the couple, 38-year-old Hemubhai Makwana and his wife, 35 years Hansaben, had been offering prayers in their hut every day in the past year. They even created a guillotine-like device at home specifically for this ritual. On the night of April 15th, the couple prepared a fire altar before putting their heads under the device held by a rope. When they released the rope, an iron blade fell on them, severing their heads, which rolled into the fire. It's worth noting that fire is considered sacred in Hinduism and often plays a vital role in worship rituals. Between 2014 and 2021, India recorded 100 incidents of ritual human sacrifice.

The Myth of Fossil Fuels and the Myth that the U.S. is Transitioning Away from Oil to Green Energy "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

The United States has been the worlds most dominant economic nation since World War 2, and the primary way they have maintained their empire has been by controlling the worlds oil and energy.

But the world is quickly changing as more and more people wake up to the fact that the Ukraine war has been a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia, and that the goal of the U.S. has been to cut off Europe, which does not produce near enough oil to meet the needs of its population, from the cheap energy they were importing from Russia.

The blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline was part of that strategy, to force Europe to start buying more of their energy from the U.S. instead of Russia.

But the rest of the world is striking back now, and quickly abandoning the U.S. dollar as the worlds reserve currency, which has been called the petrol dollar, being the currency that the world has used to trade oil.

In order to convince the American public to support the endless wars the U.S. has engaged in since the end of WW II, which have primarily been wars to control the worlds oil, they have had to engage in decades of propaganda spreading lies and myths to justify their military actions.

So lets dispel some of these myths regarding energy and oil, including the myth that petroleum is a fossil fuel and not renewable.

Myth #1: The U.S. is Switching to Green Energy to Reduce Carbon Emissions and Our Dependency on Oil

With legislation being passed at both the State and Federal levels to force Americans to consume less energy produced by fossil fuels and start using more alternative energy sources, such as electrical vehicles in place of gas-powered vehicles, it must be true that the U.S. is transitioning away from oil, correct?

Based on the evidence, this is not only false, but the opposite is true.

  • Ethereum failed to recover and stayed well below the $1,920 resistance.
  • The price is trading below $1,900 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
  • There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,845 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
  • The pair could start an upside correction if it clears the $1,850 and $1,880 levels.

Ethereum Price Takes A Hit

Ethereums price attempted a short-term upside correction from the $1,820 zone. ETH climbed above the $1,850 resistance zone but upsides were limited, similar to Bitcoin.

Ether traded as high as $1,889 and recently started a fresh decline. There was a break below the $1,820 level. A new weekly low is formed near $1,807 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is trading below $1,900 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $1,845 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Immediate resistance is near the $1,845 zone and the trend line. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,889 high to the $1,807 low.

The next major resistance is near $1,860 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $1,889 high to the $1,807 low. An upside break above $1,860 might send Ethereum toward $1,900. The main resistance is still near the $1,920 level.

February 7, 2010  CNN.com transcripts

Prominent British medical journal "The Lancet " has retracted an influential 1998 research report linking vaccines to autism. Britain's general medical council concluded the doctor behind the study, Andrew Wakefield, engaged in dishonesty and misleading conduct. Because of the 1998 report many parents skipped vaccines.

I talked earlier with Kim Stagliano of Connecticut. She has three children, all diagnosed with autism. She is a staunch defender of Wakefield's research. I asked her if she still believes there's a link between the vaccines and autism.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KIM STAGLIANO, 3 DAUGHTERS HAVE AUTISM: I certainly think that there's a link for thousands of families between what happened to their children prior to vaccination. Believe the parents. Trust the parents. They know what's going on with their kids. There are studies going on, as Dr. Wakefield pointed out there are cases in vaccine court right now that have been won by the families where there was proven causation between a resultant autism diagnosis following an adverse reaction to a vaccination. So it's not impossible.

And where the fear comes in for families, your lead-in of the Toyota story really hit me very closely to home. How would you feel if you were told by the federal government that in order to drive your children to school tomorrow you have to do it in a 2010 Toyota Prius? You...

How Are the COVID Shots Affecting Mothers-To-Be? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

While a typical vaccine must undergo 10 to 12 years of trials before it's released, during the pandemic, COVID-19 shots were made available to the public just 10 months after development, courtesy of an Emergency Use Authorization.1 Even pregnant women were subjected to the shots, and in many cases were mandated to receive them.

"The pushing of these experimental COVID-19 vaccines globally is the greatest violation of medical ethics in the history of medicine, maybe humanity," Dr. James Thorp, a maternal fetal medicine expert, told Tucker Carlson.2 Thorp and colleagues published a preprint study that found striking risks to pregnant women who received the shots, along with their unborn babies.3

The outcomes were so dire that the researchers concluded pregnant women should not receive COVID-19 shots until further research is completed. "A worldwide moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy is advised until randomized prospective trials document safety in pregnancy and long-term follow-up in offspring," they explained.4

COVID Shots Linked to 27-Fold Higher Risk of Miscarriage

Thorp and colleagues used data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) to assess adverse events experienced by women of reproductive age following receipt of a COVID-19 shot, compared to receipt of a flu shot. Compared to the flu vaccine, COVID-19 shots were associated with a significant increase in adverse events (AE), including:5

Dollar Stores Feed More Americans Than Whole Foods "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Editors Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published December 26, 2018.

Dollar stores such as Dollar General and Dollar Tree (which also owns Family Dollar) are becoming a primary source of food for many families. The chains feed more Americans than Whole Foods,1 which isn't surprising when you consider there are 30,000 Dollar General and Dollar Tree stores across the U.S. outnumbering Walmart's and McDonald's' combined compared to 446 Whole Foods locations.

The dollar store chains also claim to have their sights on yet another 20,000 locations. The problem with this trend is that dollar stores typically do not carry fresh food; it's primarily ultraprocessed packaged foods and canned foods, which we know is a recipe for ill health in the long term.

Sadly, dollar stores specifically target urban neighborhoods and small towns where economic struggles are commonplace,2 turning these areas into food deserts as they push out smaller, already struggling grocers. As reported by Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR):3

"Although dollar stores sometimes fill a need in places that lack basic retail services, there's growing evidence that these stores are not merely a byproduct of economic distress. They're a cause of it.

In small towns and urban neighborhoods alike, dollar stores are leading full-service grocery stores to close. And their strategy of saturating communities with multiple outlets is making it impossible for new grocers and other local businesses to take root and grow."

Driving this trend is the U.S. government's subsidy of processed food, both through the Farm Bill and through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This sets the stage for discount stores to monopolize the food market, which subsequently leads to poorer diets, higher disease rates and associated health care costs.

In truth, food subsidies and health care really cannot be separated, as the nation's diet is a primary contributor to chronic disease and therefore drives our health care expenditures. The idea that big box stores and dollar stores are doing Americans a favor by making inexpensive food more available is a twisted one, as it's really just making people sicker.

Racial Discrepancies

ILSR also notes that dollar stores tend to target areas based on race rather than income. Using Tulsa, Oklahoma, as an example, ILSR shows how these stores are congregated in census tracts with more African-American residents, even though there are low-income Caucasian areas as well.

FDA Says Misinformation Is a Top Killer "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

U.S. life expectancy is dropping, and if you ask U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf why, its not due to ultraprocessed foods, inactivity, stress, exposure to environmental toxins or drug overdoses. Rather, its the spread of misinformation thats killing Americans, he says, as access to information online is causing people to make choices that are harming their health.

Why arent we using medical products as effectively and efficiently as our peer countries? A lot of it has to do with choices that people make because of the things that influenced their thinking, Califf told CNBC.1

You think about the impact of a single person reaching a billion people on the internet all over the world, we just werent prepared for that, Califf said.2 We dont have societal rules that are adjudicating it quite right, and I think its impacting our health in very detrimental ways.

Misinformation Online Is Dropping US Life Expectancy?

In the U.S., life expectancy is three to five years lower than that in other high-income countries.3 In 2022, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also announced that life expectancy had dropped for two years in a row from 2020 to 2021, declining by nearly one year.4

That decline 77.0 to 76.1 years took U.S. life expectancy at birth to its lowest level since 1996. The 0.9 year drop in life expectancy in 2021, along with a 1.8-year drop in 2020, was the biggest two-year decline in life expectancy since 1921-1923, the CDC stated.5

It blamed COVID-19 for 74% of the decline from 2019 to 2020 and 50% of the decline from 2020 to 2021, but also stated 16% of the drop was due to accidents and unintentional injuries. Among unintentional injury deaths, drug overdose accounted for close to half.6 Other contributors to declines in life expectancy, according to the CDC, include chronic diseases like heart disease, liver disease and cirrhosis, along with suicide.7

But Califf instead places primary blame for Americans declining health on that vague term misinformation. Whats more, hes calling for increased regulation, in the form of specific authorities at FDA, FTC and other areas to find misinformation and counter it.8

Califf described a public shift away from truth...

People Will Never Forget These Absolutely Cringe Weddings "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Theres something about weddings that people just love to hate. The romance, the love story, the party, the memories all of those should be great and fun, right?

Well, we know from experience that far too many couples swing and miss on the big day, and these folks are here to tell you the stories of the biggest cringe wedding days theyve ever witnessed.

Macaroni for the win (and fail).

Potluck wedding with no alcohol or music. Groom kept showing people his flask and bragging about it.

Macaroni was only redeemable thing, when i went to scoop there was hair in it. Very sad.

Sounds like a good time.

Long ago I worked at a banquet hall and witnessed a fully NASCAR themed wedding. During the reception they played the audio of the proposal going out over the PA at the track. It was fully unintelligible. BZZT GABBAGBGA MRRRY MEZZZZZ RROOOOOWWWVROOOM.

Other highlights were the owner locking himself in his office to avoid the brides father because he was threatening him to haggle on the costs.

In the end we had to call the police because the bride in gown climbed over the bar to steal more sweet sweet MGD after we had closed the taps and the event was over.

I just cringed for them.

At the reception, the groom and his groomsmen sung a god-awful

The worst part was he wasnt even singing it to his wife. He was singing it to his mum.

Oh darling, darling, stand. by me

Chinese weddings, man.

From someone who knows.

EXTERMINATION: Is Global Population Already 1 Billion Less Than It Was Before The Jabs? "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

This article was originally published by Ethan Huff at Natural News under the title: EXTERMINATION: Is The Global Population Already One Billion Less Than It Was Before Operation Warp Speed?

Despite all the help save lives ballyhoo that was trumpeted throughout the world since early 2020 when the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) first appeared seemingly out of nowhere, the population of the planet appears to have plunged substantially ever since the pandemic was announced.

The deaths really started pouring in after the Trump administration launched Operation Warp Speed, the fast-tracked vaccination scheme that resulted in tens of millions of serious injuries and deaths. Now, based on the data that is available and gatherable, it would appear as though one billion people died as a result of this global psychological operation (psyop).

In 2021 and 2022 as Fauci Flu shots were running their course in peoples bodies, numerous countries reported massive numbers of excess deaths as well as record-low birth rates. Here are the figures we have from those countries:

Japan: 1.58 million deaths in 2022, the most since World War II
New Zealand: 38,574 deaths in 2022, the most since 1918 (Spanish Flu)
Australia: record-low births and record-high deaths in 2021
United Kingdom: Sharp rise in excess deaths
The Netherlands: more deaths than births in 2022, the first time this has happened since 1900
Germany; virtually zero excess deaths in 2020, followed by a skyrocketing number of deaths in 2021 after the vaccine was introduced
Nova Scotia (Canada): Unexpectedly high number of people are dying
Philippines: 768,504 deaths in 2021, the highest in one year since 1945

Italy and Norway likewise reported record-low births in 2022, presumably a result of the jabs running their course and destroying recipients fertility this was confirmed by a study showing that mRNA (messenger RNA) covid injections destroy mens sperm counts.

As you can see, some of the precise data in some of the countries is missing by design. The powers that be are playing a shell game with the data to try to minimize the impact of the ugly truth of all this, which is that the covid psyop and the covid vaccine psyop have taken a major toll on global population numbers.

Dawn Service Scuffle: Tim Wilson Insists on Playing Last Post "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

In awkward scenes this morning, former Liberal MP Tim Wilson insisted on playing the Last Post at the Shrine of Remembrance dawn service, after what he describes as a mix-up with the appointed bugle player.

I looked around, assumed that no-one had turned up to play the Last Post, and selflessly manhandled the bugle away from a random man standing next to me, so I could perform the important task on behalf of the community, Wilson who lost the seat of Goldstein at the last election explained.

Theres no way I could have known that the man wearing full military uniform and holding a bugle had been appointed to play the song. Its clear that the thousands of voters sorry, members of the community who were assembled there, wanted me to play.

In the end the two men jointly held the bugle while Wilson played.

Remains of Submerged Nabatean Temple Uncovered in Italy "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Italian archaeologists uncovered two marble altars from the lost city of Puteoli, an Ancient Roman trade hub partially swallowed by the Gulf of Naples. Seismic activity capsized parts of the Roman outpost; a contemporary Italian city named Pozzuoli stands on the shore of the same Mediterranean cove.

Ancient Greeks founded Puteoli around 600 BCE. It became part of the Roman Empire and served as a vital trade hub for luxury goods and grain from Alexandria, Egypt.

The recovered altars were part of the Temple of the Nabataeans, according to the Italian Ministry of Cultures April 11 announcement. The ministry stated that archaeologists have long known the approximate location of the submerged temple, but only recently were they able to decipher its exact resting place.

Patients Given Aripiprazole (Abilify) Should Be Told of Gambling Addiction Risks "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

From The Guardian: Patients who are prescribed a common antipsychotic used to treat depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis and schizophrenia need to be told there is a risk they could develop a gambling addiction, an expert has warned.

The National Problem Gambling Clinic has observed growing numbers of patients who have developed a gambling addiction after starting to take aripiprazole. Some patients have lost huge sums of money as a result and seen their relationships fall apart.

Prof Henrietta Bowden-Jones, a leading psychiatrist who runs the clinic, said more awareness needed to be raised, as patients were not being warned by many GPs prescribing the drug, and mental health teams were failing to monitor whether people were developing addictions.

This is not just any side-effect it can come with a risk of losing your own home. What we constantly see is that not enough people know about this. I gave a recent lecture to all the psychiatrists in my trust and a very large proportion had never heard about it, she said. We constantly hear about mental health teams not being aware. More needs to be done to prevent people from being put on aripirazole without being warned and monitored.'

A Twisted Ankle on a Treadmill Led to Someone Losing Their Life To Flesh Eating Infection "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

This is one of those awful stories that remind us that life is precious and things can take a turn for the worse unexpectedly and in a heartbeat.

An 11-year-old boy from Winter Park, Florida named Jesse Brown passed away after developing a flesh-eating infection.

And the most terrifying part of the whole story is that the boy got the infection after simply twisting his ankle on a treadmill.

A few days after he twisted his ankle on the treadmill, Jesses mother noticed that his leg was covered in splotchy, purply, red, almost like bruises. He was taken to the hospital and it was determined that Jesse had developed a Group A Strep infection. The infection then became the flesh-eating necrotizing fasciitis, which caused Jesses brain to swell.

Despite the best efforts of doctors, the young boys life could not be saved.

2,500-Year-Old Mummified Lizards Found in Ancient Egyptian Coffins "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

fascination with mummified remains and ways to violate them, researchers were able to discern the species of animal remains that were preserved for over 2,500 years in Ancient Egyptian votive boxes (interchangeable with animal coffins) from the British Museums collection without even opening them. The research team from the British Museum and the Science and Technologies Facilities Council (STFC) was able to identify mummified animals from six sealed votive boxes made from metal through the application of neutron tomography after a prior study yielded very murky X-ray results.

The process of neutron tomography is quite similar to that of X-ray radiography: A beam of neutrons is projected at the sample in question, dissipating as it passes through the materials of the samples composition to create two- and three-dimensional renderings of its interior. However, compared to X-ray radiography, neutron tomography is better implemented when the samples in question are made from metal hence why it was employed for a secondary analysis of the six cast-copper alloy votive boxes from Ancient Egypt.

Tucker Carlson Looking For Deal With Network That Will Allow Him to Recite The 14 Words On Air "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

WASHINGTON Ousted Fox News personality Tucker Carlson is looking for a new gig which would allow more freedom for the racist diatribes that shaped his long career, according to relieved sources within Fox.

Theyre saying I was fired, but I was going to quit anyhow, said an indignant Carlson, carrying a box full of personal belongings out of Fox News Washington studio. Im tired of being hamstrung by corporate media which wont let me exercise my freedom of speech. The latest impasse was when the chickenshit executives wouldnt let me recite the 14 Words at the beginning of each program. Whats next, are they going to stop me from saying the Pledge of Allegiance? Right now Im fielding offers from OAN, Newsmax and a dark web video service out of Russia that seems to have very loose restrictions on hate speech.

Fox News Vice President of Programming Theodore White says they tried to appease Carlson for years, but it was never enough.

I think everyone knows that Fox News proudly caters to a mostly caucasian audience, said White. Weve found we have the greatest success toeing the line just shy of overt racism, preferring the dog whistle technique. But Tucker was always asking for more. We tried to satisfy his insatiable lust for on-air racist rhetoric, but we have to draw the line somewhere. Its true that our core audience wants their racist beliefs reinforced, but they also want to maintain a degree of plausible cant be racist, I work with a Black person. Tucker was starting to make that a little difficult for them.

Lincoln Rockwell, leader of a white supremacist group headquartered in Alexandria, VA, agrees that Carlson would often go too far.

Believe me, I agree with just about everything Mr. Carlson has ever said. Obviously, as someone whose group distributes racist leaflets throughout suburban neighborhoods, I know a thing or two about bigoted conspiracies, said Rockwell. That being said, I have a BA in communications, so I also know about messaging. You cant come out too strong with this stuff. Mr. Carlson needs to learn to tone it down a bit if he wants to get the message across. For example, the 14 Words are best saved for when youve already piqued your audiences interest with talk of the Great Replacement and little hints as to who controls banking.

At press time, Carlson was reportedly in talks to launch a podcast with singer Morrissey, where the two would make fun of bad movies and also talk about how terrible non-white people are.

MCG Ready To Honour Anzacs With 58 Seconds Of Silence And Cry Of Carn The Pies "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

collingwood

A Collingwood fan is greatly honoured to have been chosen to perform the traditional cry of carn the pies at the 58 second mark of the minutes silence during todays Anzac Day match at the MCG.

This is a very solemn duty and I vow not to let our fallen troops down by chiming in too early or letting my voice crack, said pies fan and professional burglar Declan OCrimmins from Coburg North. My wife downloaded this special stopwatch app onto my phone and Ive been gargling nothing but hot lemon and honey drinks for the past three days.

The 58 seconds silence plus cry of Carn the Pies is one of the most moving events on the Australian calendar, said Anzac Day coordinator Major Alan Stern. We dont want it wrecked by some rank amateur from the Great Southern Stand chiming in at the 55 second point with a badly rehearsed Go Bombers and completely disrespecting our brave boys and girls on the front line.

Controversy has arisen however with some diggers upset at the decision to allow the band Birds Of Tokyo to play prior to the match.

Los Angeles as a Cultural Stir Fry "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

LOS ANGELES This city is neither a melting pot nor a salad. A cultural melting pot implies that the cultures blend and merge into one, making them indistinguishable from each other. A cultural salad implies that that the cultures remain distinct, even while creating a singular whole that can be interesting because of the combination.

Los Angeles is, instead, a good stir fry mixing, merging, blended flavors and ingredients that maintain distinctness while invariably changing each other. And like a good stir fry, the recipe for being an Angelene varies by family.

Los Angeles artist Amir H. Fallah, who arrived in the city by way of Tehran and then Turkey, understands this deeply. In Cowgirl, a large circular painting that contains the eponymous figure, Fallah combines a range of symbologies into a stir fry that feels at once of the city and a challenge to what the city represents.

For the artist, the exhibition text explains, the flourishing flora around this tondos perimeter serves as a metaphor for the American promise of fertile soil and opportunities for all. Alongside the anime-like cowgirl, a Black Panther logo, a traditional West or South Asian figure, and a gilded horse a...

Berlin Zoo Elephant Learns to Peel Bananas by Itself and Is Even Picky About Their Ripeness "IndyWatch Feed Allcommunity"

Berlin Zoo Elephant Learns to Peel Bananas by Itself and Is Even Picky About Their Ripeness

Person feeding a banana to an elephant

The cleverness of elephants has captivated scientists and animal lovers alike for decades. They are smart observers with excellent memories, and their intelligence doesnt stop there. Elephants are also adept learners. This was recently made abundantly clear by a gentle giant named Pang Pha at the Berlin Zoo. The Asian elephant has learned to peel bananas, much to the amazement of the zoo staff.

While it may sound like a cool trick Pang Pha has been trained to do, the elephant is self-taught, as nobody directly showed her how to open a banana. It is thought, however, that the animal picked up the ability after seeing her caretakers peel the fruit. Pha peels faster than humans by a partially stereotyped sequence of behaviors: she breaks the banana, shakes out and collects the pulp, and discards the peel, writes a group of scientists who published this curious behavior on Current Biology. Shaking and peeling are repeated until no or little pulp is left inside the peel and leftovers are checked multiple times with the trunk tip.

As if that weren't enough, Pang Pha doesnt settle for just any banana. The brilliant mammal is a picky eater with a high standard for the fruits shell consume. We would offer Pha bananas for weeks without her peeling a single one, the scientists point out. Thinking at first that she was rejecting some bananas at random, they started to notice a trend: her peeling preference varied strongly with banana ripeness. Pha never peeled green or green-yellow bananas, peeled some yellow bananas, 82% of yellow-brown bananas, and a...
