⁣Oh my God!!! I literally just watched the movie “Sunshine.2007” 

You’re freaking me out, NASA!! 🤯

#HappyNewYear from the star of the show that makes all this possible, as we
begin a new orbit around our Sun, 93 million miles (150 million km) from Earth. Cosmically middle-aged and classified as a yellow dwarf, the Sun’s dynamic and
ever-changing nature constantly sends energy into the solar system.

Scientists can estimate the age of the Sun by looking at the most ancient things
in our solar system, which along with the Sun, all formed around the same time.
⁣
The Sun is at the center of our solar system, 865,000 miles wide (1.4 million km) with
a core that reaches temperatures of 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius). Our Sun’s gravity holds our solar system together, from the largest planets to
the smallest space debris. ⁣
⁣
A fleet of spacecraft monitors the Sun 24/7, broadening our knowledge of the star in a branch of science known as heliophysics – including the spacecraft that took this image: the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO). ⁣
⁣
The SDO orbits Earth in a geosynchronous pattern – it maintains a figure-eight path over the longitude of New Mexico. Because of its orbit, it is constantly in view of radio antennas on Earth; it also enters an eclipse season twice a year when the spacecraft slips behind Earth for up to 72 minutes a day, obscuring the Sun with Earth’s shadow as seen here.⁣

President Joe Biden spent nearly 40% of 2022 in Delaware, Camp David and
vacation destinations.

A Daily Caller analysis of Biden’s 2022 public schedule shows that the president spent
92 days or partial days at one of his Delaware properties, and 32 days or partial days at
Camp David.

Biden also vacationed seven days in South Carolina, five days in Nantucket, and five days in the U.S. Virgin Islands, bringing his total getaway days to a total of 141, or 38.6% of his first full calendar year.

Past presidents have also taken getaway trips to their favorite locations, including Donald Trump traveling to Mar-a-Lago and New Jersey, Barack Obama to Martha’s Vineyard and George W. Bush to his Texas ranch.

Biden’s numbers, however, are on track to outpace every president, CNN reported, using data compiled by former CBS White House Correspondent Mark Knoller.

His time working from Delaware had already exceeded that of Trump in October, according to Knoller. If Biden is re-elected and keeps up the pace of his trips to Delaware, his vacation time would far eclipse those of Obama, Bush and Reagan, Knoller told the outlet.

The White House has argued that the presidency can be conducted from outside Washington, D.C., and that Biden has the “right to spend time with his family.”

“The presidency is a nonstop job that chief executives can do from anywhere in the world. And regardless of location, he has taken fewer vacation days than the modern norm,” White House deputy press Secretary Andrew Bates has said.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended Biden’s time away from the Oval Office in August, saying, “he was going to go spend time with his family which every president does. That is not unusual, that is not uncommon to do, and the president has a right to spend time with his family just like every other American across the country.”

Biden Spent Nearly 40% Of 2022 In Delaware, Camp David, Or On Vacation | The Daily Caller

What this means is he could have inflicted 40% more misery on America.

Evil masters like to rub our noses in all their shit. Wow, and to think what more havoc could have been caused had he been around more. Wait, his puppet masters are laughing at us for being distracted by this non-news report. OBAMA’S THIRD TERM.

Yes and we are in a miserable place right now because we don’t have control of
21 Senators and the jackasses making it tough for McCarthy! We have posted priorities
for you that you ignore. No person that I vote for leaves Republicans in jail for 2 years for being in the Capitol that turned into another FAKE Narrative.
No person that I vote for takes money from Wall Street to buy votes to tamper with our candidates Lake, Masters, Walker, and Tshibaka for his choices!
You may be in government, but you lost our trust, and we think you are quite stupid, more like fools. We want bad Republicans out of government as much as these Communists, postering as Democrats.

WHY NOT THIS CLOWN ISN’T RUNNING OUR COUNTRY! JUST LIKE HE STAYED IN THE BASEMENT DURING THE 2020 ELECTION! THIS CLOWN WAS INSTALLED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CABAL!

THE COUNTRY WOULD BE MUCH BETTER OFF IF HE HAD SPENT 100 PERCENT OF HIS TIME THERE AND STOPPED SIGNING RIDICULOUS EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

Biden desires to emulate the Mexican government, lawlessness.

Besides allowing the Mexican cartel to make millions, Biden probably spent his time planning with the cartel the breakout of many Mexican prisoners, while killing over
10 guards, to arrive at the border with a welcome sign.

Biden is a greedy Mafia Boss!!!

BIDEN’S SUPPLEMENTS, FENTANYL, KILLING AMERICANS. BIDEN EQUALS = OPEN BORDERS. BIDEN, PROTECTED FROM HIS OWN IMPRISONMENT BY THE FBI AND DOJ THE SUPPOSED ENFORCERS OF THE RULE OF LAW, NOT!!!

And today the Dems are holding their Destroy America Summit in St Croix so they can also Use Offshore Banking there to Bury their 1.7 TRILLION Dollar Heist as well.

They are plotting How To BLOCK The Republican House.

We all know they can work away from the white house.
We saw it every time Trump was away at Mar-a-Lago. The democrats bitched and moaned about his time away even though we clearly watched him work for the American people while away.

Hypocrites really because now it’s ok for Biden to do it. Honestly, this is the least of our worries here. On vacation or at the white house that ass hat isn’t doing shit anyways, always absent from real AMERICAN issues.
Also, billions of our tax dollars are paying for far worse. His trips are only a sliver.
Let’s move on from this. It’s trivial. Far, far, far, far more pressing issues here.

OBAMA wants him out of town so they can screw up the country and blame it on him. Besides, there are probably new ice cream flavors that Biden hasn’t tasted out of town, and safer bicycle trails. Given his senility, it doesn’t matter because leftists on his staff are hard at work.

WHEN A BRAINLESS DEMOCRAT SPEAKS FOR THEIR PARTY….
THEY ARE SO LOST FOR WORDS…WHY…?

THEY CAN ONLY SPEAK NEGATIVE ON TRUMP DO NOT… ALLOW A BRAINLESS BIMBO….CONTINUE ON ABOUT TRUMP…. LET THEM SPEAK…ON THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ITSELF * THEY HAVE NO SUBSTANCE

Joe Biden and the criminal enterprise he represents is an absolute disgrace to our country and all those that died to acquire and maintain our American citizen freedoms.

Biden lives high on hog while not in stripes. Thanks FBI & DOJ you are both traitorous entities. THE FBI’S ATTEMPT AT HIDING HUNTERS’ LAPTOP AND ALSO BIDEN’S DAUGHTER DIARY ==== A FAILURE.

Don’t think we need the Supreme Court for that.
They are the 3rd branch of the very GOVERNMENT you’re talking about. We have not had three separate branches of government for over 50-years in this country. When you mix shit with shit you get shit. The only reason people are even talking about the 3-branch of government is because we’ve been violently forced into it. There is no education about the workings of our government. The COURT which is the final say came about by the States, when we are so dumb down in not even knowing where the real power exists for the people, not the Supreme Court, but States no values will come up!

What took the god’s billions of years to create…
the liberal democrats will destroy in only four!!!

Nano One’s pilot plant. – Bing images

Dear Reader,
You would never guess it from the looks of this device, but this may be the most important energy innovation of the past 100 years. A tiny company headed by a former NASA engineer is behind this disruptive invention. Right now, This Vancouver-based company is preparing this revolutionary technology’s full-scale product launch. – Search (bing.com)

As soon as it’s released, I expect it to almost instantly disrupt nearly every aspect of the
$5 trillion global energy market. Because this technology could unlock an unlimited supply of cheap zero-emission fuel. I’m not talking about hydrogen, bioethanol, or nuclear fusion. This is not about any new kind of battery, either.

This technology is a radical upgrade to a world-changing innovation… It has been described as the cornerstone of modern existence.

The BBC calls it “one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century.” – Search (bing.com)

Without it, almost half the world’s population would not be alive today, which is why the scientist behind it won the Nobel Prize. Yet most people are completely unaware of the role this invention plays in their lives. In a moment, I’ll tell you exactly why this invention has been so important over the past 100 years and why its upgrade made it possible to harvest an unlimited amount of this clean fuel.

But first, I want to show you how big this opportunity is for early investors. This is How a $20 Million Company Takes on the World’s Fossil Fuel Market. The potential market for this fuel is huge… I’m talking about an astonishing $1.5 trillion profit opportunity.

I know, that’s a big number… But in this case, it might actually be conservative. $1.5 trillion is about the cost of all the oil globally consumed every year — almost 30 billion barrels’ worth.

And this technology could end it all. That’s because this is a universal fuel. It can be used for everything. It can power your car… Propel cruise ships… And thrust aircrafts. These are not hypothetical examples. This has been happening for years.

image.png
Take the X-15… NASA’s hypersonic aircraft reached the edge of outer space.

It holds the record for the world’s fastest crewed airplane. More than half a century ago, the X-15 was powered by this amazing fuel to 4,520 miles per hour. That’s twice the muzzle velocity of a high-powered rifle bullet, and yet the engine’s exhaust released only harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

Or what about this car… It has an ordinary combustion engine with only some minor modifications.

Nothing special, right?

image.png
But recently, a team from the University of Michigan drove this car from Detroit to San Francisco. – Search (bing.com)
They needed only a single fill-up in Wyoming…All thanks to this little-known zero-emission fuel.

WELCOME TO nh3car.com
Or consider this massive ship engine…

image.png

Marine propulsion manufacturer MAN is working on engines running on this fuel.
It’s currently adding the finishing touches to these giant power plants, which will
soon be fitted to giant ocean-crossing tankers.

Forbes titled an article, “[This Fuel] Will Soon Power Ocean-Going Ships.” – Search (bing.com)

The Financial Times calls it “the fuel of the future.” – Search (bing.com)

Yahoo Finance “[This fuel] paves the way for zero-carbon energy.” – Search (bing.com)

The U.S. military has been long interested in it as well… Huge amounts of fuel such as diesel need to be shipped for combat operations overseas. This can add as much as 65% of the total tonnage. That’s why the U.S. Army has been trying to figure out how to produce vehicle fuels in the field for decades. This is not only a logistical problem. It’s a matter of life and death… The resupply of fuel during combat operations costs about four lives for every 100 convoys.

To put it another way… One out of every 25 times a fuel convoy is deployed to refuel a station, someone in that convoy will die. But this company from Vancouver has found the solution…Because it discovered a way to create fuel locally — in small units like the one you’ve just seen. A study by the U.S. Army concluded that using this fuel would lead to “considerable savings in weight, volume, cost, and complexity.”

We’re on the cusp of a huge leap.
Think about the big oil companies like ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, and Chevron… This breakthrough threatens to render their assets useless — and potentially bankrupt their huge monopoly. The same goes for Tesla and the rest of the electric car industry — they’re going to be dead in the water. Nobody needs an expensive EV with a short range when you can switch to this clean fuel.

These companies would like nothing more than to kill this unlimited fuel in its tracks.
You really can’t blame them. When you look at the facts, I’m about to show you, the writings on the wall…

A New Energy Hierarchy Has Emerged and This Fuel Is the Undisputed King. As I said, the science behind this fuel is NOT new. Chemists have known how to produce it for over 100 years. Half of the world’s population would not be alive today if it weren’t for this discovery.

The problem is that they couldn’t figure out how to produce it on the mass scale required to fulfill our energy needs. That’s what this Canadian company’s invention is about. It puts this Nobel Prize–winning discovery within reach of the mass market. I’ve been investigating this company since it was reserved for insiders as an exclusive private placement.

Recently, this opportunity opened up to everyday Americans.

In this presentation, I’m going to give you all the details I’m allowed to share publicly. But I have to warn you, this is a highly sensitive situation. You see, the company taking this breakthrough to the market is tiny. As of this presentation, the stock was trading at a $20 million market cap. To put that in the context of its competition…Energy giant Exxon has a market cap of $420 billion… Which makes this company about one twenty-thousandth of its size.

But when news of this company’s historic accomplishment goes mainstream, investors who understand the implications will immediately scramble to buy every share of this company’s stock they can get their hands on. The Biggest Wealth Transfer in the History of Modern Business…$1.5 trillion per year — that’s the size of the market. Because its product is 100% clean, and now highly affordable to boot, this company has the full potential to pull the rug out from under the massive machine that runs the global petroleum industry.

Even if it were to capture just one-tenth of 1% of this market through its disruptive innovation, that would still amount to control of a $2.1 billion per year revenue stream. That would make this tiny young company about a hundredth the size of Exxon, which corresponds to a market capitalization of about $4.2 billion. That’s 210 times the size of the company today… Meaning even by the most conservative estimates, early investors could stand to make over 20,000% gains in the coming years.

And if this company managed to swallow up more of the global oil market, which is almost inevitable, those gains would increase by leaps and bounds. Expanding on our Exxon comparison, a 1% slice of the global pie could potentially return $2,000 for every single dollar invested — provided you made your investment early enough. Today, I’ll explain exactly how you have to position yourself to reap such extraordinary gains.

But first, you’re probably wondering which invention this company revolutionized and why almost half the world’s population would not be alive today without it. The story starts on this plot of land in Hertfordshire, England… About 180 years ago, British scientists tested the effects of fertilizers on this field. They discovered that nitrogen is the single most important plant nutrient.

image.png

There was just one problem… Though nitrogen is by far the most abundant element in the Earth’s atmosphere, no one knew how to harvest it. This changed in 1909, when the chemists Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch figured out how to pluck fertilizer from thin air by making ammonia. Nitrogen fixed in ammonia fertilizes crops, which in turn nourish you.

Chemist Mercouri Kanatzidis from Northwestern University explains, “The Haber-Bosch process is one of the most important for humanity.” – Search (bing.com)

Half of the world’s population would starve if it weren’t for the Haber-Bosch process. That’s why the synthesis of ammonia, also known as NH3, won both scientists the Nobel Prize. But NH3 isn’t just a fertilizer… The Long-Awaited Upgrade to a Nobel Prize–Winning Invention.

Ammonia is also a fuel that can power internal combustion and jet engines. Unlike petrol or kerosene, it releases no poisonous carbon dioxide whatsoever. An engine running on NH3 emits nothing but water vapor and nitrogen. In fact, you can inhale and drink the exhaust from a car engine running on it. And that’s not all…

NH3 has a 30% higher octane rating than gasoline, meaning it’s more stable under pressure. It’s less of a fire hazard, and it forms no soot, allowing engine parts to stay clean. So all of this begs the obvious question: Why don’t we run our cars, airplanes, and ships on ammonia already?

Well, unfortunately, the Haber-Bosch process, aside from helping to create the modern world, is also quite dirty and expensive. It requires enormous amounts of heat, pressure, and fossil fuels — such as coal, oil, or natural gas — to make NH3 in chemical plants like this.

image.png
An engine running on NH3 emits – Bing video

Creating NH3 this way consumes so much energy that it’s simply not economically feasible to use it as a mass-consumption fuel. When compared with the abundance of cheap, easy-to-refine oil in the ground, ammonia as fuel just didn’t make sense. And that’s the way things have been for more than a century, right up until a few months ago…Because this company’s research team found a way to produce NH3 without using any fossil fuels at all.

Its machine generates it from nothing but air and water. This is a radical upgrade to the Nobel Prize–winning Haber-Bosch process… and because of what it can mean to the world’s fossil fuel dependence, it’s at least as significant. Haber-Bosch fed the world. This innovation is expected to power the world with endless clean energy.

Industry portal Global Investment Daily confirms, “[This company] could be one of the biggest back-door disruptors we’ve seen in the energy space in years.”

Oilprice.com reports, “[This company] looks to be a first-mover in one of the fastest-paced spaces in energy.” – Search (bing.com)

And the Financial Post praises this company’s “team [of] global experts.” The oil industry is starting to see the writing on the wall as well. Saudi Arabia has announced plans to invest $5 billion into a new ammonia facility. Think about that for a second… The world’s biggest oil nation, shifting to ammonia. It’s well aware that this is the future of energy. Recently, Saudi Arabia shipped 40 tons of ammonia to Japan. The country set a zero-emission goal and is using clean fuel for its thermal power stations. – Search (bing.com)

However, Saudi Arabia’s ammonia production still requires fossil fuels. That’s why the upgrade I’m going to show you is such a huge game changer. As I said, it takes fossil fuels out of the equation completely. The tiny company I’m going to reveal today teamed up with one of the world’s leading scientists in sustainable development. He has more than 40 years of hands-on experience in tech commercialization in the resource, energy, and chemical industries.

Together, they’re preparing the full-scale product launch that’s set to happen very soon. If you were going to put money in one speculative play in the next decade, this company is it.
Because the potential upside is huge. As I said earlier, a return of 100 times your investment in the coming two to three years is not unrealistic. I’m required to temper my enthusiasm for legal reasons, of course. The reality is, I believe that even that 100x projection is conservative.

In a moment, I’ll explain why I believe early investors are going to see these kinds of gains, how exactly it’s possible to generate fuel from air and water, and what you have to do in order to get in on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But first, please let me introduce myself… This Is Unlike Any Investment You’ve Made Before

Hi, my name is Keith Kohl.

Keith Kohl’s NH3 Company – Make 100x Your Money in 24 Months? | Green Bull Research
I’m the senior technology analyst at Angel Publishing, one of the fastest-growing independent investment research firms in the world. For the past 20 years, I’ve been on top of every major tech trend. For example, I turned my readers on to a tiny lithium mining stock called Lithium Americas Corp… A stock that has soared 2,786% from where they had the chance to get in.

image.png
My team and I were among the first to spot the potential of “data science,” and we recommended a company called iRobot. Readers who acted on my recommendation had the chance to rake in 1,696%… even if they didn’t know anything about “data science.” We also uncovered a new kind of light-emitting diode and recommended the company behind it to our readers. They pocketed a 4,991% return.

Did they need to understand what a light-emitting diode is in order to make 50 times their money from it? Of course not.

Possibly the Biggest Energy Play in a Century…
As you may know, the energy sector generated some of the biggest fortunes in history.

John D. Rockefeller and J. Paul Getty built their fortunes on oil. – Search (bing.com)

The Koch brothers, worth $99 billion, also amassed their wealth from oil. – Bing video
The energy sector is so lucrative that it’s created rare and exceptional trades big enough to turn $1,000 into $1 million in a single transaction in just four years’ time.

image.png

And yet this NH3 upgrade could DWARF anything that’s come before it… Because right now, we’re starting to see ammonia replace oil-based fuels across vital industries.

Take the shipping sector…

image.png
Vessels like Viking Energy are currently being retrofitted to run on ammonia…

As the British Royal Society points out, “The maritime industry has already identified the significant retrofitting potential for ammonia as a green fuel for shipping, noting its ease of storage, existing maritime networks and bunkering capabilities.”

Chemistry professor Bill David confirms, “Ammonia is the only zero-carbon fuel that will get you across the oceans.” – Search (bing.com)

Or take the aviation industry… Planes can now run on ammonia rather than kerosene, allowing airlines to keep their existing fleet. A modification recently developed by the University of Oxford makes this possible. As engineer Dr. James Barth explains, “[Thanks to ammonia] a fast transition to a sustainable aviation future is possible at low cost.” – Search (bing.com)

image.png
It’s no wonder the Financial Times referred to ammonia as “the fuel of the future.” – Search (bing.com)

And then there’s the trucking industry… These heavy-duty diesel trucks were recently converted to run on ammonia. They’re part of Canadian freight company TFX International’s fleet.

Look, the global NH3 market is currently valued at $72.82 billion.

Oil is valued at over $1.5 trillion.

Altogether, the global fossil fuel industry pulls in about $3.3 trillion per year. In other words, the fossil fuel sector is more than 45 times bigger than the NH3 sector. NH3 is beginning to replace oil in the transportation sector. As you’ve seen, this shift is occurring across the shipping, aviation, and trucking industries. Keep in mind that the transportation industry is THE biggest oil consumer.

As oil consumers are beginning to move toward this zero-emission alternative, the NH3 industry could end up flooded with billions, perhaps trillions, of dollars from the oil market. Right now, we’re witnessing what could be the most explosive opportunity in our lifetimes. The little-known company I’m revealing today is at the heart of it all. Thanks to its groundbreaking technology…

As our earlier market share scenario showed, a 20,900% gain isn’t just possible, it could actually be a conservative estimate of the long-term potential. And this could start to unfold within the next 12 months. I’ll explain why in a moment. But first, I want to show you exactly how it’s possible to create fuel from nothing but air and water.

An Unlimited Fuel Supply in Your Garage

Upgrading the Haber-Bosch process is a major engineering challenge. – Bing video

After all, this process hasn’t seen any substantial changes for more than 100 years. But this firm’s distinguished team achieved this major breakthrough. Take the company’s director. He has more than 35 years of experience in setting up large-scale ammonia plant projects. Then there’s the vice president of technology. She has a PhD in material science from the Imperial College London and has been working in the tech industry for almost two decades.

And, of course, there’s the CEO. Not only is he a former NASA engineer, but he also used to be a captain in the U.S. Army Field Artillery branch. Thanks to his extraordinary leadership skills, he gathered a brilliant research and development team that has already filed 48 Canadian and 21 U.S. patents. This R&D team is headed by one of the world’s leading experts in sustainable development, with 40 years of experience.

image.png

With such a tremendous amount of talent, solving the Haber-Bosch conundrum seems almost simple… You see, both components required to make ammonia are in the air we breathe and in the water coming out of your tap. I’m talking about nitrogen and hydrogen: The machine this company developed is continually sucking air in to take the nitrogen and sucking water in to take the hydrogen. Proprietary technology combines both elements in a catalytic reactor to produce ammonia. – Search (bing.com)

image.png
This is what the demo unit looks like:

Right now, this company is perfecting the production process in its recently opened 15,000-square-foot facility in Michigan. That’s where the company makes as much as 1 ton of ammonia per day. Eventually, it plans to ramp up production volume to 25 tons per day in that flagship facility alone. Remember, the Haber-Bosch process requires large industrial-scale equipment.

But this modular apparatus can sit at any location where fuel is needed. It can be easily scaled to the quantity of fuel required. A device like this could one day even sit in your garage. It would constantly be generating fuel so you’d have a reserve when you need to fill the car. As you might have guessed, this whole process requires electricity. But as strange as it may sound, that’s exactly what makes the opportunity so exciting…

143 Countries Will Soon Be in Dire Need of This New Technology
You see, this technology solves wind and solar’s biggest problem. I’m talking about electricity storage.

image.png

Let me explain…

Renewable energy has surged by 468% in the U.S. since 2008. In California, rooftop solar is already producing three times as much as centralized stations. – Search (bing.com)
But this is just the beginning… The Biden administration has called for 100% clean energy by the middle of the century. This new legislation will inject $1.7 trillion into clean energy technologies. That money will pay for an annual addition of 100 gigawatts of generation capacity.

That’s enough to supply California and New Jersey with electricity for a whole year. There’s one problem, however. This kind of energy supply is unstable. On the one hand, the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. On the other hand, when there’s a lot of sun and wind, much more energy is being produced than the grid can handle.

image.png

Solar panels and wind turbines have to be disconnected from the grid to prevent overloads when that’s happening. As a result, California alone loses nearly 200 gigawatt-hours of electricity each month. That’s enough to power about 228,050 homes, and it’s simply going to waste. The only way to use this excess power is by feeding it into storage solutions.

As The Conversation reports, “As renewables boom, [the] need for energy storage is more urgent.” – Search (bing.com)

And with all that extra wind and solar power coming online very soon, the demand for cheap electricity storage is about to soar. This company’s machine can take excess electricity and transform it into ammonia. When there’s no sun or wind, that ammonia can be fed into thermal power stations to produce zero-emission electricity. It’s like a liquid battery, only without the chemical waste or constant potential for failure.

That’s why Energy Central calls ammonia the “ultimate energy storage.” – Search (bing.com)

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, ammonia is the lowest-cost proven technology for long-term, large-scale energy storage. Right now, the U.S. has 23.2 gigawatts of capacity in energy storage. But that’s not enough to transition to 100% renewable energy. As research firm Wood Mackenzie estimates, 900 gigawatts of new storage will be needed in the next 10 years. That’s an increase of 3,779%.

And that’s just in the U.S.

Globally, 143 countries are committed to 100% clean energy roadmaps. Countries like Canada, Australia, Mexico, France, Iceland, and even places like Nepal, Zimbabwe, and Jamaica are fully transitioning to wind and solar energy.

Wood Mackenzie projects a thirteen-fold increase in grid-scale storage until 2024 as a result. – Search (bing.com)

That equates to an investment of $132.4 billion in the next four years. The opportunity here is so big that it’s hard to calculate how much this tiny company that owns the proprietary technology for the Haber-Bosch upgrade could soar. And remember, this is ON TOP of its primary business model: fuel production. Now, before I continue, I want to make sure you understand that despite all of the prospects, the early-stage nature of this company makes this a highly speculative bet.

There’s always risk in investing. Never risk more money than you can afford to lose. But with the potential we’re facing here, even a small initial stake can potentially grow into a sizable position. Make no mistake, this isn’t one of those situations where you can just take your time. The window to get in front of the largest gains is closing. That’s because an obscure federal rule just got enacted. One that’s pouring a ton of additional fuel on this fire.

Few people know this, but an earlier version of a rule like this helped Tesla rake in more than $5 BILLION in profits since 2017… Each metric ton of NH3 used as fuel reduces CO2 emissions by more than five metric tons, which means this company can quickly pile up a huge amount of credits. Once again, that’s money it can make ON TOP of the profit from selling ammonia and energy storage.

Don’t forget this is a tiny company whose total share count is valued at a mere $20 million (USD) at the time of this publication. Look, you may NEVER have another shot like you have today — RIGHT NOW — with this tiny company. That’s not just because the Inflation Reduction Act opened up a brand new billion-dollar opportunity for this company…It’s also because this firm is heading forward at an incredible pace… and it’s only a matter of time before this energy revolution will be all over CNBC or Bloomberg.

Who was William H. Pitsenbarger?

William Hart Pitsenbarger (July 8, 1944 – April 11, 1966) was a United States Air Force Pararescueman who flew on almost 300 rescue missions during the Vietnam War 
to aid downed soldiers and pilots. 
Pitsenbarger was born in 1944 and grew up in Piqua, Ohio, a small town near Dayton.
As a junior in high school, he tried to enlist in the U.S. Army as a Green Beret, but his parents refused to give their permission.
After he graduated from high school, he decided to join the U.S. Air Force, and on
 New Year’s Eve 1962, he was on a train bound for basic training in San Antonio.

During his basic training in early 1963, he volunteered for Pararescue. Training included the U.S. Army Airborne School, U.S Navy Dive School (SCUBA), survival school, and a rescue and survival medical course. More Air Force rescue training and jungle survival school followed. His final training was in air crash rescue and firefighting.[4] 
He completed the requirements, and was one of the first group of airmen to qualify for Pararescue right out of basic training. After completing, he was assigned to the Rescue Squadron stationed at the Hamilton AFB, California.

Review by Marc Leepson, VVA Veteran Arts Editor and Senior Writer

The Last Full Measure, the fact-based Vietnam War-heavy movie that opened nationwide on January 24, 2020, features a five-pack of big-time Baby Boomer male actors playing Vietnam War veterans.
William Hurt, 70, offers up Tulley, an intense, troubled USAF vet, using many of the mannerisms he displayed in his portrayal of the troubled, impotent Nam vet Nick in the classic 1983 movie, The Big Chill.
Samuel L. Jackson, 71, as Takoda, is his usual intense self, as a troubled, one-time Army infantry LT still haunted by flashbacks from the catastrophic engagement that’s at the center of the film.
Ed Harris, 69, is a cranky codger who drives a school bus and stumbles along life’s path primarily because of something he didn’t do during the battle in question.
Peter Fonda, who died at 79 August 16, 2019, gave us Jimmy Burr, a mentally disturbed former infantryman scarred so deeply that he has retreated to a cabin deep in the woods where he sleeps during the day and hunts his demons toting a rifle when he’s awake at night.

John Savage, 70, is Chauncy Kepper who also lives in the woods, but back in Vietnam, where he has found inner peace battling his combat-induced trauma with the help of deep breathing—and butterflies. (Butterfly Room Scene 1 hour 09-minute mark.)

Watch: The Last Full Measure (2020) – Bing video
The other Vietnam War veteran character in the film is played by a real Nam vet, the great Dale Dye, 75, who also served as one of the movie’s three military technical advisers. Dye and former USAF Vietnam War Para-rescue MSG James Pighini and retired Marine SMAJ James Dever were responsible for the movie’s brutally realistic Vietnam War battle scenes. Dye plays a U.S. Senator who made a mistake during his tour of duty, but whose honor and honesty redeems him four decades later.
Not coincidentally, each of these AARP-member actors has played at least one Vietnam War veteran on the silver screen.

‘INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY’
Todd Robinson, who wrote and directed The Last Full Measure, has created a movie that, in Hollywood parlance, is “inspired by a true story.” What we get in this partly true and partly fictitious movie is both inspiring and deflating and both heartwarming and cloying.

The Last Full Measure: Pitsenbarger decided to stay on the ground – Bing video

The true story is the inspiring part. Here are the facts:
William H. “Pits” Pitsenbarger joined the Air Force when he was nineteen in 1963.
He volunteered for USAF Special Warfare as a Pararescue specialist, one of the most dangerous jobs in any war. He went to Vietnam in 1965 and served in the 38th Air
Rescue and Recovery Squadron based at Bien Hoa Air Base, and took part in more
than 250 missions.

During a horrific firefight on April 11, 1966, Airman 1st Class Pitsenbarger and his
crew came to the rescue of an encircled and outnumbered 2nd Battalion/16th Infantry Regiment/1st Infantry Division company at the Battle of Xa Cam My in the jungles 35 miles east of Saigon.
The company took 80 percent casualties, including 36 men killed in action in a VC ambush. When he learned that the company’s medic had been killed, Pits decided to try to help, rode the hoist a hundred feet into the heat of the battles, and descended into the fray.

On the ground, his Medal of Honor citation notes, “he organized and coordinated rescue efforts, cared for the wounded,” and “prepared casualties for evacuation.” Amid intense enemy fire, Pits personally rescued nine wounded men and refused to evacuate himself to try to get other wounded guys out of the fight. When sniper and mortar fire increased, Pits “took up arms with the besieged infantrymen.” He “repeatedly exposed himself to enemy fire to care for the wounded, pull them out of the line of fire, and return fire whenever he could, during which time he was wounded three times,” and then mortally wounded.

The movie flashes back and forth to the battle and to its psychological aftermath among the five men recounting the story in the late 1990s during the effort to upgrade Pits’ Air Force Cross (the second-highest USAF medal for courage under fire) to a Medal of Honor. The battle scenes, shot in Thailand, are hyper-realistic. That includes shots of war carnage, enough that any war veteran who’s experienced it may be discomfited by the up-close shots of spouting blood, dismemberment, violent death, and the deafeningly loud, insistent ordnance zinging and casings flying.
Those scenes ably show the MOH-worthy actions and valor of Pits (played more than capably by the recruiting-poster handsome English actor Jeremy Irvine) and the deadly onslaught the Big Red One infantryman found themselves in.

That’s the good news about Last Full Measure.
The movie falls down, though, in most of the 1990s scenes, primarily the ones that Todd Robinson made up “inspired by” the true story of how Pits came to get the MOH. The biggest letdown is a completely fictional character, a power-hungry young man working his way up the DOD civilian ladder called Scott Huffman (Sebastian Stan).

Finally, a war story worth watching. Sebastian Stan’s new war drama film The Last Full Measure paid tribute to William H. Pitsenbarger and took 20 years to make. The movie is a great, well-rounded biography of war story. It is gripping and incredibly well acted with a first-class cast.

The Last Full Measure is about real-life Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger who tragically died at the age of 21 during a rescue mission in 1966 after saving countless lives during the war. More than 30 years later, Pentagon investigator Scott Huffman probes a Medal of Honor request for Pits made by his friend and parents.

Vietnam War
His first assignment in Vietnam was in the form of Temporary Duty (TDY). Upon completing his first TDY assignment, he volunteered to return and received orders in 1965 to report to Detachment 6, 38th Air Rescue and Recovery Squadron at Bien Hoa Air Base near Saigon.

image.png

During his service, William H. Pitsenbarger flew on almost 300 rescue missions
during the Vietnam War to aid downed soldiers and pilots.

During his time in Vietnam, he has become one of the most reliable service members
in the 38th Air Rescue and Recovery Squadron. His commanding officer, Major Maurice Kessler, called him: “One of a special breed. Alert and always ready to go on any mission.”

On April 11, 1966, he was killed in action during the rescue mission in a battle near
Cam My, 35 miles east of Saigon. The Joint Rescue Center dispatched two Huskies from Detachment 6 to extract a half-dozen Army casualties pinned down and surrounded by Vietcong. Upon reaching the ambush site, he was lowered through the trees to the ground, where he attended to the wounded before having them lifted to the helicopter by cable. After six wounded men had been flown to an aid station, the two U.S. Air Force helicopters returned for their second load.

For the next hour and a half, Pitsenbarger attended to wounded soldiers, hacking splints out of snarled vines and building improvised stretchers out of saplings. When the others began running low on ammunition, he gathered ammunition from the dead and distributed them to those still alive. Then, he joined the others with a rifle to hold off the Viet Cong. Pitsenbarger was killed by Viet Cong snipers later that night. When his body was recovered the next day, one hand held a rifle, and the other clutched a medical kit. Although Pitsenbarger did not escape alive, nine other men did, partially thanks to his courage and devotion to duty.

One of the helicopters lowered its litter basket to Pitsenbarger, who had remained on the ground with the 20 infantrymen still alive; a burst of enemy small-arms fire hit it. When its engine began to lose power, the pilot realized he had to get the helicopter away from the area as soon as possible. Instead of climbing into the litter basket so he could leave with the helicopter, Pitsenbarger elected to remain with the Army troops under enemy attack, and he gave a “wave-off” to the helicopter, which flew away to safety. With heavy mortar and small-arms fire, the helicopters couldn’t return to rescue the rescuer. He is buried in Miami Memorial Park Cemetery Covington, Ohio.[6]

Medal of Honor

On December 8, 2000, at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, the airman’s father, William F. Pitsenbarger, and his wife, Alice, accepted the Medal of Honor from Secretary of the Air Force Whit Peters. During the same ceremony, he was also posthumously promoted to Staff Sergeant’s rank. The audience included battle survivors, hundreds of pararescue airmen, a congressional representative, and the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force.

His Medal of Honor citation recalls, “Conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty … his bravery and determination exemplify the highest professional standards and traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Air Force.”
When Airman First Class William H. Pitsenbarger perished while single-handedly aiding, evacuating, defending and providing medical care to a unit of soldiers pinned down by the enemy deep in the Vietnam jungle, he left behind a legacy of bravery, valiance, determination, and personal fortitude.
That legacy lives on in the new feature film, “The Last Full Measure,” which tells the story of the U.S. Air Force Pararescueman awarded the country’s highest military honor, the medal of honor, 34 years after his supreme sacrifice.
His memory is also honored by the Air Force Association through our annual Pitsenbarger scholarship program.

Each year, AFA awards scholarships to USAF enlisted personnel graduating from the Community College of the Air Force who plan to continue their education and pursue a baccalaureate degree. In addition to academic achievement, the grant recognizes Airmen who exemplify leadership, citizenship, teamwork, community service, personal development, and dedication.
Over the last decade, AFA has awarded more than $1.3 million in Pitsenbarger scholarship grants to more than four thousand deserving Airmen in his name.

CHINA FILES – THE PEOPLE’S DYNASTY OF HORROR

Rise of the Red Emperor LISTEN: Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec on Apple Podcasts

Jack, I listened and learned! All4 China episodes! Educational, Brilliant, Revealing and Expertly done. Thank you so very much!!

China wants world domination! They want to be America and that pos in office has been handing over top secret shit for a very long time… Fuck the CCP!!! They are coming for us n people seriously need to realize it and This jackass is the one on Joe’s puppet strings! More than likely most of the government’s strings… All bought and paid for!

The question is: can we win a kinetic war with a weakened, illegitimate compromised regime? I sadly know the answer to that question.

How jealous do you have to be? A real leader for his people who brought millions out of poverty. You had Trump. But brainwashed people from the bought out News Media voted for Biden and the WEF . DEMOCRATS SOLD THEIR SOUL TO THE WEF. That’s all you need to know. So if you vote for those monsters . You get what you vote for. No future and lose it all. Now you have a corrupt leader . Not for the people. Ready to have a World War anywhere he can find around the world to save America.

Great job Jack, I have a suggestion. Why don’t you do something really radical and bring hope to this situation in the world? I suggest you drill down on the mysticism of the Catholic Church, THE SUPERNATURAL.Padre Pio, Medjugorje, Sister Faustina etc. This is way beyond the answer for the atheist CCP and Biden/Trump wars. It’s what the world thirsts for and what the church has failed to do. Fire is going to fall from the sky soon enough. Prepare the masses Jack.

: The United States will impose mandatory COVID-19 tests on travelers from China, U.S. health officials said on Wednesday, joining India, Italy, Japan and Taiwan in taking new measures after Beijing’s decision to lift stringent zero-COVID policies. http://bit.ly/3Vv93IU Interesting that when President Trump wanted to test and then blocked travel from China, he was called Racist LOL Why are they waiting until January 5th to start testing? Hey how about not letting them in at all? Oh, wait because President Trump did the right thing and they called him a racist! Sorry but not sorry!

Lot of good it does now after 10 million unsustainable invaders entered and 1000s are getting sick in China for months. Oh well, the Screw S.A. of Democrats has to spend our money on something useless. It’s a good thing Biden signed the vaccine passport with world leaders to manage all this mess. Turns out to be useless like his border control. That’s an utter waste. Here’s why. On the surface China just covered their ass. Who’s to say China can send the Mexican Cartels a virus to smuggle through the southern border?

Makes sense, I mean we have only been in a pandemic Oder by the administration for over two years, failed at the vaccine and getting people to be dumb enough to take it, forced restrictions that have been proven useless, allowed millions to flood the border from every country on earth and now we are going start this futile effort. This would be a skit in SNL if it wasn’t the government’s policy on how to look like a complete idiot in 3 easy steps.

The U.S. will impose mandatory commie 19 tests/vacs on travelers from China………well, that is it for the China men. now they will all have to have commie 19 vacs/tests to gain admittance to America. well, that’s not exactly true now. I mean Afterall, what about the thousands and thousands of chinks; many fleeing China land, others are China spies sent here to do further damage to our country. along with the tens of thousands who have already broken into our country across our southern border? what about them their commies I ask? I reckon China joe will have immigration round them up and make certain they are properly vaxxed. After all, we can’t have any sick Chinamen running around, can we? That’s the view from ALENA’S CORNER. censored by Gettr

What good will This Do? STOP THE TRAVEL OF Chinese Now!

The Vaccinated Are Contagious! They’re introducing a New Variant!

This is Exactly how They Started the Spread in the First Place!

Unless they come through the Southern Border – or, should I say, come through the imaginary, geographic line formerly known as the “Southern Border”?
Worried about the direction of our country? You must read “OFF GRID: ESCAPE FROM THE SURVEILLANCE STATE”. A near-future Thriller you can’t put down once you start reading! Why not keep ALL CHINESE inside China till they get rid of Communist’s Party and Communists and Stop Providing them with Technologies and Education???

image.png

From the halls of D.C. to the remote shores of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, OFF GRID is a wild ride through a dystopian near future of mass surveillance. In the wake of a global calamity, the economy collapses. The Feds respond by wielding every power of the Welfare State to control the populace. A key tool is PivPal, an indispensable smartphone used to track citizens.

As civil liberties crumble, resistance is relegated to flyover country whose residents, derided as off-gridders, cling to the time-honored virtues of freedom, self-reliance, and charity. Against this backdrop, Jenny Hernandez struggles to keep her rural church community nourished and safe. Hiding from the Feds, a team of inventors, and Jenny’s ex, arrive to complete the amazing plasma drive. They bring hope, but also the watchful eye of Big Brother. With the authorities closing in, local law enforcement must choose sides.

Governmental Overreach
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2022
J P Redding presents a fictional narrative that’s enthralling and an exceptional read. The story of an Off Grid community of believers who stand against an all intrusive government makes the reader examine just how close the USA is to complete domination of our free society. Could this scenario possibly become a reality? Look back at 1984 and draw your own conclusion. The parallels to today’s one party rule are indeed frightening. Thus is a worthwhile read. The conclusion is indecisive and leaves more questions than solutions.

This story was about the deep decline of America and developing police states. Churches and Christians are systematically hunted as churches are closed down and anyone involved arrested. Big brother is really watching, close. This is a story of those who decided they’d had enough and fought back. I rated this book a 3 because to me, there were too many deep teachings, for lack of a better way to phrase it. It was still a good story and I look forward to the next book by this author.

It calls us to decide if this is the type of country we don’t want to live in and to act accordingly.

2022 Will Be Remembered as The Year The Truth Came To Light – David Icke
At first there were a lot of characters with different points of view but as the story progressed, it all came together in what proved to be a realistic and intriguing story about politics, privacy, technology, and freedom. This is a great read that will definitely spur some internal contemplation on society and where we are headed. The characters were relatable and I found myself really rooting for them to make it through. I love a good open ending as well as it gives me a chance to contemplate what I want to happen.

Great idea because the CCP probably has them infected with a brand new strain of the Covid virus. that is resistant to everything, or they may be infected with a brand new CCP non-Covid virus! Do not trust the CCP, do not trust the CCP, Joe Biden is scared of the CCP. He will not go after the CCP, elect the GOP to go after the CCP! TRUMP was not scared of the CCP!

Does everyone realize all the stringent lockdown nonsense, in China or anywhere, simply prevented people from developing immunity and weakened their immune systems? Oh, and here’s a pro tip…the mRNA drugs do not provide immunity, but they do prevent your immune system from responding properly to the virus.

Amazing isn’t it. Donald Trump wanted to do the same thing in 2019-2020 and they crucified him for it,Calling him a racist and a xenophobe. Now shit for brains is doing the same thing and the corrupt media is glorifying him. AMERICA! YOU BETTER WAKE UP

⛷️ A Champion Recovery! ⛷️

Posted on December 28, 2022 by Ken
Beijing 2022 proved to be the most difficult two weeks of Mikaela Shiffrin’s career.
Mikaela Shiffrin failure in Beijing – Search (bing.com)

After coming into the Winter Games with a realistic chance of becoming the first American skier to win three golds at a single Olympics, the 26-year-old suffered 60% of her career DNF’s at the National Alpine Skiing Centre this month.
Shiffrin failed to finish in three of the six events she competed in, crashing out after only five gates in both the giant slalom and slalom.
Despite that disappointment – which culminated in Shiffrin ending her stay in Beijing without a medal following the USA’s loss to Norway in the small final of the mixed team parallel on Sunday – the skier is remaining remarkably sanguine about her participation at these Winter Olympics.
“The pinnacle of the last four years of work is over now and it did not really go that well for me,” Shiffrin says. “However, you can fail and not be a failure. You can lose and actually be a loser because you lost, but still also be a winner.

‘I just feel like a joke’: Devastated Mikaela Shiffrin left reeling after third Beijing crash
“It’s just what you do on a daily basis. Some days you lose and some days you win, and you can go through all of that and have the most turbulent times and still rise again tomorrow.
“It’s not so scary to fail, especially because I failed because I was trying so hard – maybe too hard.
“And maybe after 12 years in a ski career, I should have known how hard to push and not go over that limit, but I pushed harder because I wanted it and that’s not really an excuse.
“I’m going to go out again and try next time, but fewer people will be watching,” she laughs.
After she crashed out of the slalom, the sight of Shiffrin sitting at the side of the slope, her arms on her knees and her head bowed, became one of the enduring images of Beijing 2022.
As one of the greatest to ever put on a pair of skis, Shiffrin has become accustomed to success throughout her career, which includes gold medals from Sochi and Pyeongchang.
However, after suffering her second DNF in the space of three days in Beijing, Shiffrin says she just needed a moment with her thoughts on the hill.

the women’s slalom. Robert F. Bukaty/AP

“It’s maybe not as insightful as you might hope,” she says when asked about what she was thinking about in that moment.
“I was feeling cold and I sat down on the snow and I was immediately like: ‘That was a bad, bad idea because now my bum is also cold and wet’ – and I felt really trapped in there.
“I just wanted to get as far out of the line of vision for the other athletes who were still racing and starting in less than a minute, and I was hoping I was far enough to the side because I went out so soon, they were literally in the start.
“I’m like: ‘Oh my gosh, Paula [Moltzan], my teammate, she’s coming pretty soon.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, she’s going to see me, she’s going to freak out.
I just need to get over here and then I need to be still as a stone.’”
In the days that followed her third DNF, Shiffrin posted some of the abusive messages she had received on social media during her time in Beijing.

“Got what you deserved,” “dumb blonde” and “dumb b*tch” were among some of the messages, with others telling her to retire from the sport.
Shiffrin admitted in her Instagram post that she had started to question why she keeps coming back to skiing, but now says the thought of being back atop the podium is driving her to get back out onto the slopes.
“It’s actually a lot of the things I fear the most about myself,” she says. “That I have lost my touch in the sport, that I should give it up … they’re the worst things you think about yourself, yet somebody else just finds a way to push those buttons.
“And you’re like: ‘I want to argue with you, but I just don’t even know what to say.’ I saw one comment today [that said], ‘You’re just a loser and you didn’t contribute anything.’
I’m like: ‘I know!’” Shiffrin laughs. “I realize that, and I am a loser, but I’ve also been a winner and I think I can win again.” The Times They Are A Changing – Sonia Solorzano – TV Commercial — Dancing Tommy (@dancing.tommy) • Instagram photos and videos

Update 12/28/2022 mikaela_shiffrinfans
Another amazing win by Mikaela!!!🤩Congrats @mikaelashiffrin !!
And it’s win number 79!!🤩🤯
Congratulations also to @paulamoltzan !!!
TODAY:::
🥇 @mikaelashiffrin
🥈 Lara Gut-Behrami
🥉 @martabassino

Update 12/29/2022 mikaela_shiffrinfans
Omg!!!! Today was one of the most beautiful days!!🤩🥰Mikaela is the first! That means 80 World Cup victories🤯and 50 World Cup slalom wins!🥰🤩
And @paulamoltzan has a podium!🫶that’s amazing🥰
And did I cry watching today’s race?
Yes, I cried. They were tears of happiness. And I think that every American who watched skiing today must have been very happy and moved.☺️ I am proud to be an American!🫶🇺🇸

Shiffrin won a giant slalom in Semmering, Austria, by 13 hundredths of a second over Slovakian Petra Vlhova combining times from two runs. She built a commanding lead of 72 hundredths in the opening run.
It was her first GS win since Dec. 21, 2021, ending her longest victory drought in the discipline in more than six years (eight World Cup races since her last GS victory, with one podium in the last seven).
Vonn, who won 82 times, and Swede Ingemar Stenmark (86) are the only Alpine skiers with more World Cup victories than the 27-year-old Shiffrin.
Vonn has repeated in interviews this year that she believes Shiffrin will break her record and last week was quoted by a German newspaper saying that she believes Shiffrin is already the best female Alpine skier in history.
Semmering holds another GS on Wednesday and a slalom on Thursday — both live on Peacock — as part of a busy stretch of eight World Cup slaloms or giant slaloms
over15 days through Jan. 10.

“The start of a weekend with three races is always a bit nerve-racking,” Shiffrin said. “You hope that you’re in the right shape and you can bring the right intensity from the start.”
In addition to her 2018 Olympic GS gold, Shiffrin has 15 World Cup GS victories, fourth in women’s history behind Swiss Vreni Schneider (20), Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll (16) and Frenchwoman Tessa Worley (16).
Shiffrin has at least one win in all four primary disciplines in 2022 — downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom — completing that set in one year for the first time in her career. She has four victories this season and won five of the last seven World Cup races held in Semmering dating to 2016.

For so much of my career, my story has been told through someone else’s perspective. I am so grateful not only for the media’s interest in sharing my personal journey, but also for sharing this sport that has provided so much passion and joy for my family and me.

That said, most people often only get an in depth glimpse of our sport every four years, when the Olympics roll around. Don’t get me wrong, the Olympics are definitely a big deal, but I feel that there is so, so much more to this amazing sport than what is broadcast every four years…

There’s more to me, and my family, and my life beyond the competitions, the victories, and the losses. Over the years I’ve grown to love giving those of you who are interested a lens into my world, in hopes that it might resonate with someone out there. So, I’m quite excited to share that, later this week, I’ll be launching a YouTube channel and a new content series.

I’m looking forward to giving you deeper insight into my story, from my own perspective. “Moving Right Along” is about more than moving forward from a series of very challenging moments in Beijing, even though that’s where it begins. It’s about learning and growth. It’s about doing the right thing for the right reasons—by “right”, I mean the reasons most important to you and your values—both on the mountain and off the mountain.

There is a lot of talk right now about how athletes are so often defined by their success and failures, but to be honest, I think that extends to almost every human on earth. My belief is that success and failure are both merely guides, meant to help us navigate our journey towards the life we want to live. Maybe that’s naive, but I’ve had my fair share of successes and failures, some more public and exasperating than others.

And here’s the truth about my biggest and most public fail—falling three times at the Olympics is *NOT* the worst or hardest thing that I have experienced in my life, it doesn’t even make the podium. So now it’s time to move forward.

This is (more of) my story, told by yours truly. I hope you enjoy it.

Love,
Mikaela Shiffrin

Grief is such a complicated emotion and she articulates it beautifully. 

Mikaela Shiffrin on Mental Health, Performance Pressure, and Prioritizing Herself (elle.com) Mikaela, thank you for sharing your beautiful words.

Your dad will always be with you and so very proud🙏

Your words really hit home and brought tears to my eyes…I lost my mom at age 9
and never really felt like I got enough memories with her. Sometimes it’s hard to just remember that short time with her, but I keep everything close to my heart to keep her memory alive. Grief never truly disappears, but your words definitely help to know that there are others that feel this pain too ❤️  After representing Team USA, @mikaelashiffrin shared her experiences with grief, depression and

the Olympics in our first Signature story. ❤️ #TPTBestOf22 (Link in bio)⁠

I’ve been reflecting on a really cool month of November (thanks to my mom’s post yesterday!!), where I was able to connect with some of my biggest idols in the world
of ski racing that—no doubt—inspired my skiing at @worldcuplevi and beyond.

In episode 1, I share some of these stories of running into @marlies_raich and @benjamin_raich at training in Pitztal, @hansdotterfrida, and @tanja.poutiainen prior to and in Levi, and how much that meant to me.

Have you seen episode 1 of my new YouTube series #MovingRightAlong yet?

Accept what is and make sure to let go of what was in the past.

Have faith in what will be in the future.

Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
There are many ways you can treat hormone imbalances, but many people prefer to
first try more natural methods, in the hope of avoiding pharmaceutical medications.

*MUST WATCH: Discovery Health – Celiac Disease. – YouTube

Celiac.com 03/11/2022 – As many of you already know, celiac disease can be associated with quite a few other autoimmune diseases such as lupus, fibromyalgia, Crohn’s, Sjogren’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, etc.
In addition, celiac disease can also be connected with a few hormonal issues such as thyroid disease (specifically Hashimoto’s), adrenal fatigue, and high/low levels of estrogen. 
For those with celiac disease and hormonal issues, some of the symptoms you can experience include hot flashes, insomnia, headaches, weight gain or loss, fatigue,
muscle spasms, heavy menstrual cycles, heart rate changes, and much more. 
There are many ways you can treat hormone imbalances, but many people prefer to first try more natural methods, in the hope of avoiding pharmaceutical medications. For those in this group, nutrition can be an excellent way to help stabilize your body’s estrogen levels and feel better fast. Foods to eat include pistachios, artichokes, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, and cauliflower), chia and hemp seeds.
Simply by incorporating these nuts, seeds, and vegetables into your daily lifestyle,
you’ll begin to feel more energetic and have less pain. 

Even if you don’t happen to be living an allergen-friendly life, these foods can definitely be beneficial for hormonal regulation. For those with celiac disease, eating gluten-free foods can help reduce the intensity of your thyroid and adrenal fatigue symptoms. 

There are even certain herbs that can be beneficial for your hormone levels, and picking the right ones, of course, will depend on your body’s individual needs. From maca, yarrow, red raspberry, ashwagandha, chase tree, black cohosh, mother wart, mugwort, shepherd’s purse, stinging nettle, to burdock. Choosing the right one may help decrease fatigue, lessen menstrual pain, reduce hot flashes, and ease headaches. Be sure to read up on the known side-effects of any of these herbs before taking them, as they may interfere with other conditions you may have, for example ashwagandha can increase your blood pressure.

Lastly, there are certain types of exercises that can help to alleviate chronic pain and adrenal fatigue. Yoga can be a fantastic way to become flexible, strengthen muscles, and balance estrogen levels. Try working out three times per week doing yoga or light dancing. 
In summary, many people with hormone imbalances can often find relief with basic approaches, such as exercise, nutritional changes, Supplements for celiac disease and adding herbal supplements which can often make a big difference.  

Nutrition Guide for Clinicians

Celiac Disease
Celiac disease, also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy or non-tropical sprue, is an immune-mediated disorder of the small intestine in which individuals are sensitive to gluten, a protein contained in wheat, barley, and rye.
Gluten acts as an antigen, causing an immune response that damages the lining of the small intestine, resulting in malabsorption of fat, calcium, vitamin B12, folate, iron, and other nutrients.
Signs and symptoms sometimes appear upon the introduction of wheat into a child’s diet (usually at age 6-12 months). In children, the presentation may include failure to thrive, delayed growth, irritability, vomiting, constipation, large stools, peripheral edema, clubbing, and frequent respiratory infections. However, the disease may not present until later in life, typically between the ages of 10 and 40. In adults, many cases are asymptomatic, but some patients may have diarrhea, weight loss, abdominal swelling, and bloating.
Affected individuals may also have non-intestinal symptoms. Malabsorption of vitamin D and calcium can result in rickets, osteoporosis, and bone fractures. Iron malabsorption can result in anemia. Amenorrhea, infertility, dermatitis herpetiformis, and neurologic symptoms (e.g., peripheral neuropathy, ataxia, seizures) may occur.

Risk Factors
Celiac disease occurs in people of all ages and ethnicities but appears to be most common in Caucasians of Northern European descent.

Other risk factors include:

Genetics. More than 95% of affected patients have HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8 mutations.[1] Celiac disease is found in approximately 1:22 of individuals with affected first-degree family members.[2]
Delayed introduction of gluten into the diet does not appear to alter risk for development of celiac disease in at-risk individuals.[3]

Associated Conditions

Immune disorders. Patients with a history of immune disorders (e.g., IgA deficiency, autoimmune thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel diseases) are at increased risk. A significant portion of individuals with type 1 diabetes may have silent celiac disease in which they do not express any overt signs or clinical symptoms of the disease.[4]
Dermatitis herpetiformis is commonly seen in patients with celiac disease.
Down syndrome. The prevalence of celiac disease in patients with Down syndrome is significantly increased in comparison to the general population.[5]

Diagnosis

Diagnosis in infants is suggested by a constellation of diarrhea, failure to thrive, and irritability. In adults, common symptoms include chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, weight loss, and bloating. The diagnosis should be suspected in individuals with unexplainable iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, chronically elevated liver function enzymes, or chronic migraines.
Serologic testing with IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (TTGA) is the single preferred test for screening for celiac disease. Screening for IgA deficiency with total IgA levels will help rule out a false negative IgA TTGA. When there is a known IgA deficiency, TTGA IgG and deamidated gliadin peptide IgG are helpful.[6],[7] Patients should be on a gluten-rich diet, if possible, prior to any testing for celiac disease.
Small intestine biopsy establishes the diagnosis and should be done to follow up any positive serology test.[5],[8] Typical histological findings include intraepithelial leukocyte infiltration, villous atrophy, and crypt hyperplasia.[9] Biopsy is also performed when there is strong clinical suspicion of celiac disease despite negative serological testing.[9] 
In equivocal cases or when a patient cannot tolerate a gluten-rich diet for at least 2 weeks, HLA haplotype testing may be useful. HLA testing may also be done to determine susceptibility in offspring. Rarely, a follow-up biopsy may be performed for comparison after the patient has followed a gluten-free diet for 3-6 months.
It may also be advisable to evaluate for vitamin and mineral deficiencies once the diagnosis is made. Helpful tests include a complete blood count, serum iron, ferritin, copper, zinc, folate, vitamin B12, and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.

Treatment
The cornerstone of treatment is dietary adjustment to avoid gluten (see Nutritional Considerations below). In addition to easing symptoms, dietary adjustment may decrease the risk of gastrointestinal malignancies and B-cell lymphoma, which occur in greater frequency in these individuals. In addition, immunosuppressant therapy with corticosteroids may be necessary for patients who do not respond to gluten avoidance. Dapsone has been used to treat associated dermatitis herpetiformis.

LDN Celiac Disease – Search (bing.com)
LDN is a safe treatment in use for over 2 decades. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions involving immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and Celiac disease. Functioning of LDN in the Body There are multiple mechanisms to LDN therapy which work together for producing desired benefits.

Nutritional Considerations
Nutritional adjustments are essential in the management of celiac disease.
The key aspects of treatment are as follows:

Gluten-free diet. A gluten-free diet eliminates wheat, barley, rye, and derivatives of these grains (e.g., farro, semolina, durum, spelt, triticale, and malt). Brewer’s yeast often contains gluten traces from barley. Patients should consult with an experienced dietitian to identify gluten-containing foods and ensure adequate nutrient balance.
The oat grain does not contain gluten.
However, some grain producers inadvertently contaminate oats with gluten-containing grains, prompting some producers to intentionally avoid cross-contamination and to label their products appropriately as gluten free.[10] 
In addition, some individuals with celiac disease do not tolerate even gluten-free oats, due to an immune reaction that is distinct from gluten sensitivity.
Typically, however, oats can be consumed by people with celiac disease. Once the disease has become quiescent, many gastroenterologists will introduce oats to the diet (less than 2 g/day), and patients may eventually be able to tolerate 40-60 g per day (1/2 cup raw oats = 40 g). For patients sensitive to oats, as confirmed by the presence of oat-specific intestinal T cells, avoidance of oats is recommended.
Patients should be aware that 100% gluten avoidance is impossible. Even naturally gluten-free products may contain 20-200 mg gluten/kg. Evidence supports setting the threshold for gluten contamination at 100 mg/kg; the intake of gluten-free flour up to 300 g/day provides 30 mg of gluten, which is within the range found to allow for mucosal recovery
in clinical and challenge studies.[11] Search Results for Anti Inflammatory Diet | Cancer Quick Facts (solitarius.org)

Addressing nutrient deficiencies.
Celiac disease patients’ diets and gluten-free products are often low in B vitamins, calcium, vitamin D, iron, zinc, magnesium, and fiber. [12] Consequently, newly diagnosed or inadequately treated patients often have low bone-mineral density, low fiber intake, and micronutrient deficiencies, despite increased obesity in this population.[12] Patients who have been managed on gluten-free diets sometimes reveal signs of poor nutrient status and impaired calcium absorption.[13],[14],[15] Patient counseling regarding healthful sources of micronutrients is recommended. These may include, but are not limited to, fortified soy milk for calcium and vitamin D and legumes for magnesium and iron.
The prevalence of vitamin B-complex deficiency is between 5-7% of persons with undiagnosed celiac disease, compared with 1-2% in a control population.[16] 
About 5% of patients diagnosed with iron and/or folate deficiency were found to have histologically confirmed celiac disease after endoscopy and biopsy. [17] 
In patients following a gluten-free diet for 10 years, 37% had low blood levels of folate and 20% had low blood levels of vitamin B6. [18] 
Between 20-40% of untreated celiac patients appear to have poor vitamin B12 status. [14],[18]
Deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins, occurring as a result of malabsorption, are not uncommon. Cases of myopathy and vitamin D deficiency in celiac disease have been reported, and low levels of vitamin E have been implicated in neurologic complications of celiac disease. Vitamin E supplementation and a gluten-free diet reverse the resulting myopathy.[19] 
Malabsorption of vitamin K in untreated celiac disease may also prolong the prothrombin time, requiring parenteral administration of this vitamin.[20]
Nutrition consultation to assist patients with diet changes, with outpatient follow-up as needed.
Once the diagnosis and response to dietary treatment have been established, follow-up may be offered at a dietitian-led clinic.[21]

What to Tell the Family
Family members can help the identified patient avoid gluten-containing foods, recognizing that it is essential to avoid them completely. It is important to read food labels carefully.
The following organizations provide recipes, lists of gluten-free commercial products, and information on the gluten content of medications:

National Celiac Association (national celiac.org)
Gluten Intolerance Group (gluten.org)
Celiac Disease Foundation (celiac.org)
Coeliac UK (coeliac.co.uk)
Canadian Celiac Association (celiac.ca)
Beyond Celiac (beyond celiac.org)

A diagnosis of celiac disease has implications for family members, as approximately
10% of first-degree relatives may also be affected. It may be appropriate for relatives
to be screened for celiac disease and to be educated about the condition.[22],[23],[24]

FIVE ELEMENTS OF NATURE | FIVE FORCES OF UNIVERSE | SIVALYA
 
According to ancient Vedic wisdom, all of nature and the universe is made up of five forces of nature or five elements. These ancient Indian texts, known as the Vedas, state that the physical body of all living beings, is also made up of these five great elements, which are Air (Vayu), Earth (Prithvi), Water (Jala), Fire (Agni) and Ether (Akasha). Everything in and around us is made of these building blocks or five elements of nature, they are the channels that flow throughout the universe, connecting you with everything and everyone. Once you learn how to harness and access them, you can create and manifest anything you desire through the Five Elements of Nature.

 How a Cosmic Kilonova Can Create Gold | How the Universe Works – Bing video
Ayurveda also recognizes these five elements, known as Pancha Mahabhutas, as representing the most important foundational aspects of nature and as building blocks of all material existence. Ayurveda further observes that these same five elements exist within the human body and mind. A healthy mind-body is one where all the five elements are in balance, and they function in harmony both internally within our bodies and externally as in extended alignment with nature and our environment. Whenever the internal or external balance is not aligned, our entire mind-body system is disrupted, leading to disharmony and imbalances.

Ancient Rishis found that a combination of metal and gemstones against the skin counteracts adverse negative pulls and effects from out of sync elements and cosmic influences. By combining ancient Vedic wisdom and practices, the timeless science of universe and the five forces of nature, Team Sivalya created the five elements collection featuring ancient symbols and healing gemstones, with an aim to provide a deeper understanding of our elemental nature and to function as a guide towards leading a balanced and harmonious existence.

Five elements of nature sivalya

 UNDERSTANDING THE ELEMENTS
As these five elements exist in nature, they also exist within each one of us. Everything in this universe, including our life, is created with varying proportions of these five natural elements. Take a moment to observe and you will begin to notice these qualities all around you. The more you shift your attention and explore these five elements, the more you will be able to understand and relate to the entire universe.
There is an expression in Ayurveda that states, “As is the human body, so is the cosmic body. As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind.” This essentially describes humans as not separate from nature. They are intimately intertwined and when you open your heart and mind to this, you will find that the universe has been patiently waiting for you to be still, listen, and learn what you have only but forgotten.

Fire or Tejas ~ is hot, light, intense, powerful, and transformative. Externally, we see it as the sun or fire; internally, it drives digestion and cognitive processes and connects us to our inner power. It purifies our mind from doubt and untruth and guides us from darkness to light.
Air or Vayu ~ is movable, changeable, light, dry, mobile, and dynamic. It represents the capacity for motion and gives flight to ideas or goals. Externally, it is seen as wind; internally, it is the movement of breath, circulation, and nerve impulses within our bodies. The more conscious our breath is, the more conscious our life will be
Ether or Akasha ~ is the subtlest of the elements. It is expansive, empty, and has no resistance. It is the source of all matter and houses the space within which it exists. It allows for growth and change to take place. It is the space between your cells, your breath, and your thoughts. As we learn to align ourselves with nature through yoga and meditation, the Akasha will open up to us with its wealth of deep knowledge and immense abundance.
Earth or Prithvi ~ is heavy, solid, stable, constant, and rigid. It represents all solid matter and the structure of the universe. Earth gives form to the human body and to all of creation and gratitude for the earth element connects us to the understanding that life is a gift from the divine. We have everything we need to thrive provided by Gaia and are fully sustained and nurtured with her abundance.
Water or Jala ~ is smooth, flowing, cool, and movable, and can also be solid. It transports, connects, and provides protection and nourishment. It reminds us to relax and enjoy navigating through the waves of life. The more we trust and surrender, the more we feel free to openly express our creativity with joy.
 
NATURAL ELEMENTS COLLECTION FROM SIVALYA
 
Sivalya’s Natural Elements collection, with its unique combination of gemstone and Sanskrit symbols represents and enhances the property of each element, helping us achieve a harmonious lifestyle. The best way to start connecting with the five elements is to hold them, meditate with them and feel their powers. Wear a necklace or bracelet representing the element that you feel is out of sync within you on any given day. For a harmonized existence, wear all of the natural elements symbols together on a chain, till you feel an overall balanced energy return to your system.
 
Far beyond your intellect, far beyond your understanding, lies inexhaustible knowledge and wealth, strength and power, peace and joy. Do not use your intellect to find the answers for God and his manifestations. Everything is God and God is within you. – Swami Vishnudevananda
The Aztec worldview posited the concept of an ultimate universal energy or force called Ometeotl which can be translated as “Dual Cosmic Energy” and sought a way to live in balance with a constantly changing, “slippery” world.

Indian and Chinese cosmologies are compared, each containing five cosmic elements. The Indian elements are Akasha, Air Fire, Water, and Earth. Akasha connotes Creative energy. As depicted it is substituted by reproduction projected as creation. Hence the male and female generative organs as Lingam-Yoni, already recognized in Hinduism as symbolizing the source of creative energy, have been depicted as such. The other four elements represent creation proper. In Chinese cosmology the full term is “Yin-Yang Wu-Hshing.” Wu-Hshing signifies Five=Cosmic elements and these are Wood, Fire, Water, Earth, and Metal. 

They are taken from Iran.
Since there is no element to represent creative energy this is expressed by the term Yin-Yang, or Black and White in lieu of male-female or Lingam-Yoni of Indian cosmology. The organs of reproduction have been projected as the opposites that generate creative energy. Virtually Yin-Yang=Lingam-Yoni=Creative energy generators.

Disease signifies discomfort, and hence we dislike it and want to be free from its pain and agony. Imbalance in the cosmic life force and five elements causes diseases, and these elements also cure us. In all cases it is the life energy, the cosmic electrical force, that cures.

Life force is the only supreme, invariable power by which any or all methods of healing
can be made effective. We are living because life energy sparkles in the bulb of our body –
in the brain, the senses and in all the organs. This life force is powering the life-giving functions of : –

Keys to Outsmart Memory Loss

Posted on December 22, 2022 by Ken
“Tis the season for making special memories we want to treasure forever.

The End of Alzheimer’s – By Dr. Dale Bredesen – Bing video
 Also, The Good News that we can. Recent Dutch Research reveals it’s possible to keep your memory sharp through the age of 100 and beyond. To slash the risk of Alzheimer, dementia and declining memory loss by up to 88%, just…


🗝 Visit a friend: sneaking in 15 minutes of activity daily, liking making snow angels with your grandkids or delivering cookies to your neighbors; does more than spread good cheer:

According to Swedish findings in the Journal of Neurology, it slashes your risk of dementia  by upwards of 88%. Experts explain that moving your muscles increases
the size of the hippocampus, the brain region responsible for storing and retrieving memories.

🗝  Pretty up Presents; Whether you craft beautiful bows for gifts or crochet colorful scarves. Mayo clinics experts say doing crafts five times weekly
cuts the risk for mental decline by 42%

Creativity activities spur the release of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that revs recall and recovery for yours. Also study authors found the stimulation folks got from daily computer use curbed their risk of memory production by 37%/


🗝 Try a Multivitamin: A new Wake Forest University study in Alzheimer’s & Dementia Journal found folks who took a multivitamin daily experienced significant memory improvements and slowed their brain aging by 60% within three years. Micronutrients such as selenium, vitamin C and B vitamins in Multis ward off heart disease. which can trigger memory decline by impeding blood flow to the brain. 


🗝   Savor Spuds: Mashed, baked added to soups and stews (or even crisped up into a latke) … potatoes are stellar sources of potassium, which is a nutrient that enhances brain-cell signaling. 

And in a Japanese study, folks whose daily diets were higher in potassium were
80% less likely to experience memory impairments over 17 years. Other potassium
rich foods: lentils, black beans, avocados and leafy greens. Melissa Gotthardt


🗝   Find Peace in 18 seconds: Before you set sail on the seas of a stormy father gathering. take 18 seconds to set an intention, urges Abby Metcalf. PH.D, I take a deep breath and slowly exhale
while repeating, “My Intention is to be the Patient.” The conscious mind processes 40 bits of information per second. while my subconscious processes 11 million bits per second. So when you have a positive intention. your subconscious gives that off, instantly shitfting  your energy.

Try these simple ways to improve your memory.

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Can’t find your car keys? Forget your grocery list? Can’t remember the name of the personal trainer you liked at the gym? You’re not alone. Everyone forgets things occasionally. Still, memory loss is nothing to take lightly.

Although there are no guarantees when it comes to preventing memory loss or dementia, certain activities might help. Consider seven simple ways to sharpen your memory — and know when to seek help for memory loss.

Memory loss: 7 tips to improve your memory

1. Include physical activity in your daily routine
Physical activity increases blood flow to your whole body, including your brain.
This might help keep your memory sharp.

For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, such as jogging — preferably spread throughout the week. If you don’t have time for a full workout, squeeze in a few 10-minute walks throughout the day.

2. Stay mentally active
Just as physical activity helps keep your body in shape, mentally stimulating activities help keep your brain in shape — and might keep memory loss at bay. Do crossword puzzles. Play bridge. Take alternate routes when driving. Learn to play a musical instrument. Volunteer at a local school or community organization.

3. Socializing regularly
Social interaction helps ward off depression and stress, both of which can contribute to memory loss. Look for opportunities to get together with loved ones, friends and others — especially if you live alone.

4. Get organized
You’re more likely to forget things if your home is cluttered and your notes are in disarray. Jot down tasks, appointments and other events in a special notebook, calendar or electronic planner.

You might even repeat each entry out loud as you jot it down to help cement it in your memory. Keep to-do lists current and check off items you’ve completed. Set aside a place for your wallet, keys, glasses and other essentials.

Limit distractions and don’t do too many things at once. If you focus on the information that you’re trying to retain, you’re more likely to recall it later. It might also help to connect what you’re trying to retain to a favorite song or another familiar concept.

5. Sleep well
Sleep plays an important role in helping you consolidate your memories, so you can recall them down the road. Make getting enough sleep a priority. Most adults need seven to nine hours of sleep a day.

6. Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet might be as good for your brain as it is for your heart. Eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Choose low-fat protein sources, such as fish, beans and skinless poultry. What you drink counts, too. Too much alcohol can lead to confusion and memory loss. So can drug use.

7. Manage chronic conditions
Follow your doctor’s treatment recommendations for medical conditions, such as depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and hearing loss. The better you take care of yourself, the better your memory is likely to be. In addition, review your medications with your doctor regularly. Various medications can affect memory.

When to seek help for memory loss
If you’re worried about memory loss — especially if memory loss affects your ability to complete your usual daily activities or if you notice your memory getting worse — talk to your doctor. He or she will likely do a physical exam, as well as check your memory and problem-solving skills.

Sometimes other tests are needed as well. Treatment will depend on what’s contributing to your memory loss.

Suspect your memory isn’t what it used to be? You could be right. But the reasons for your cognitive slump might not be the ones you worry about.

“Slow cognitive decline is expected as we get older,” says Joel Salinas, a neurologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Neurology Henry and Allison McCance Center for Brain Health. What’s not considered a normal or expected part of aging, he says, is dementia — a disease signaled by “more rapid decline in cognitive abilities.”

Many older adults worry about big causes, such as Alzheimer’s, without realizing that, “in fact, many cognitive issues signal more general health problems such as thyroid issues, dehydration or lifestyle issues that can be reversed,” Salinas notes.

Low thyroid functioning, he says, can be experienced as ongoing fatigue and slowed thinking. Too much alcohol can impair memory, and dehydration — often simply not drinking enough water throughout the day — causes too little blood flow to the brain.

Getting at the bottom of what’s affecting your ability to reason, remember or articulate your thoughts is important. To that end, Donna de Levante Raphael, director of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America National Memory Screening Program, says a memory screening, covered by Medicare, should be part of your annual wellness visit. You might find out that your cognitive issues are caused by one of the below factors — and can often be reversed.

Boost your brain health with Staying Sharp

Medications
As we age, we tend to add a variety of medications to our daily intake — along with risks of adverse health effects from both individual drugs and the overall mix. One of the most common Rx side effects: cognitive impairment.

Tatyana Gurvich, an assistant professor of clinical pharmacy at the University of Southern California School of Pharmacy, says that when older adults mention memory problems, the first thing she does is look at the medications they’re taking. Some over-the-counter medications such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), which can create confusion, can be purchased under brand names consumers don’t recognize or hidden in combination products like Advil PM. Medications for overactive bladder or incontinence and those for depression or sleep can, in various combinations, also cause cognitive impairment. Combining any with opioids can make an older adult more confused. “Unfortunately, older adults often take a cocktail of medicines — both over-the-counter and prescription — that can cause major changes in cognition,” says Gurvich, who encourages older adults to talk to their doctor or pharmacist about all the drugs they’re taking before making any changes.

Lack of exercise
Numerous studies show that exercise protects memory and thinking skills. One from the University of British Columbia found that regular aerobic exercise such as running or brisk walking boosts the size of the hippocampus, which stimulates the release of chemicals in the brain that affect the health and supply of brain cells. There’s a negative effect, too, for those who aren’t active: “Not walking or doing other aerobic exercise on a regular basis can cause brain shrinkage and lead to an increase of white matter changes or small injuries to the parts of brain cells that connect with other brain cells,” says Mary Ellen Quiceno, a neurologist and researcher in Dallas.

Boost your brain health with Staying Sharp
In good news, the positive effects of exercise on the brain appear to be immediate. A University of Maryland study of brain health in older adults shows that just one session of exercise increases activation in the brain circuits associated with memory. In people diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment as well as in cognitively healthy older adults, verbal fluency and measures of brain function improve after just 12 weeks of exercise, says J. Carson Smith, associate professor of kinesiology at Maryland’s School of Public Health. “Being physically active helps protect the brain from cognitive decline and atrophy. Those who are at increased risk through their genetics and don’t exercise tend to have the most problems,” he says, adding that everyone should walk or do other moderately intensive exercise for 30 minutes at least four days a week.

Boost your brain health with Staying Sharp

Sleep issues
“Too much sleep or too little high-quality sleep can cause a problem with memory, reasoning and particularly executive function,” Salinas says. As he explains it, during deeper stages of sleep, the hippocampus, the area of the brain responsible for the formation and retrieval of memories, transfers newly made memories to the prefrontal cortex, a brain area responsible for long-term storage. Without enough shut-eye, this process is disrupted — with sometimes noticeable results.

A University of California Berkeley study found that older people who sleep poorly experience memory loss and brain disorientation. Researchers at Michigan State University’s Sleep and Learning Lab recently found that sleep deprivation doubles your odds of being unable to complete a series of steps without losing your place and triples the number of lapses in attention. “Our findings debunk a common theory suggesting that attention is the only cognitive function affected by sleep deprivation,” says Michelle Stepan, one of the study’s researchers.

Anxiety and depression
If you’re feeling mentally fuzzy, depression or anxiety could be playing a major role. Depression, which the National Institute on Aging says is common in older adults, who tend to be more isolated, can also mimic the signs of memory loss. “When you’re depressed, the serotonin levels in your brain decrease and this can affect attention, processing speed and memory consolidation, causing a ‘pseudodementia’ of depression,” says neurologist Richard Isaacson, director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Research shows that depression and anxiety can also alter our brain physically. A study from Brigham Young University, for instance, shows that subjects with anxiety and depression showed less brain cell growth in key areas compared with those not dealing with such mood disorders.

Where Did the Moon Come From

Posted on December 19, 2022 by Ken
After the starry sky, the most beautiful thing created is definitely the sea ⛵️🌊 Made by #bikinigirl


The sea changes its color, but the sea doesn’t, we should understand that we are from the sea and resemble it.  Accept that we all change, but still remain the same at the core. What we know is we know nothing, all theories not 1 empiric fact of nothing, and no way.

Humans consider themselves unique so they’ve rooted their whole theory of existence on their uniqueness. One is their unit of measure, but it’s not. All social systems we’ve put into place are a mere sketch. One plus one equals two. That’s all we’ve learned, but one plus one has never equaled two. There are, in fact, no numbers and no letters. We’ve codified our existence to bring it down to human size to make it comprehensible. We’ve created a scale so that we can forget its unfathomable scale. p.s. scientists are not able to explain things happening right now, please lets do not talk about a huge gas cloud a trillion years ago or ‘big bang’. My theory – a trillion years ago there was huge ape and this ape stirred her morning coffee with her pinky – and this is how life has began. Please, prove it wrong.

All creatures living in the universe move with sound, giving energy to the moon and sun. There is no such thing as coincidence in the universe 🎄 faith is the belief of something with no solid concrete proof but rather following your heart.  Just as believing that these theories provided by NASA are taken in faith as a plausible explanation of the origin of the moon and the planets.

Im sorry moon expert – your theories did not include God’s creation of the moon – Genesis 1:14-19

 Faith is the evidence of things unseen

Where did our Moon come from?  Photo by Larry Slawson on Adobe Express.

How did our Moon form? Where did it come from? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, what clues does the Moon hold in regard to the formation of our solar system? These are just a few of the questions that both present and past astronomers have struggled to understand throughout the course of human history. This article addresses these questions through an analysis of four theories pertaining to the Moon’s formation. Although these theories remain to be unproven by the scientific community, they offer a unique perspective on our Moon’s formative years that is both plausible and credible given our current understanding of the solar system at large.


Impact Theory of the Moon’s Formation Photo by NASA on Unsplash

The most prominent theory pertaining to the Moon’s formation is known as the “Impact Theory.” This hypothesis argues that the Moon likely formed from a massive object hitting the Earth during its early years. Scientists believe that the early solar system was full of drifting debris that was left over from the cloud of dust (and gas) that surrounded our early Sun. As a result, scientists believe that an impact between our future Earth and a massive object was not only plausible, but inevitable given the chaotic conditions surrounding our planet at the time (Chaisson and McMillan, 52).
According to scientists, the object that struck Earth (known as “Theia”) was likely the size of Mars. After colliding with the Earth, the massive collision threw large chunks of Earth’s vaporized crust into space, which then became bound to one another through the effects of gravity. This hypothesis helps to explain why the Moon is composed of lighter elements, as its materials came solely from the Earth’s crust rather than its inner core (space.com).
According to this theory, scientists also believe that the core of “Theia” remained largely intact from the impact, and served as the gravitational basis for the crust-like debris to form around its center. Scientific models indicate that the impact between Theia and Earth was nearly 100 million times stronger than the latter event that is believed to have destroyed the dinosaurs.
The impact theory remains full of contradictions and problems, however. If the impact theory was completely true, for example, then-current models suggest that the Moon should be composed of primarily sixty percent of the material that originated from Theia (NASA.gov). However, rock samples from the Apollo missions indicate that the Earth and Moon are nearly identical in their composition, differing in composition by only a few parts per million. As a result, researchers in Israel have recently proposed that multiple impacts may have resulted in the formation of the Moon, rather than a single “Giant Impact,” as previously argued.


Co-Formation Theory Photo by Luca on Unsplash

Another theory pertaining to the Moon’s formation is the “co-formation” hypothesis. This theory suggests that our Moon may have formed at the same time as Earth. According to the researcher, Robin Canup (an advocate of the co-formation theory), the Moon and Earth likely formed after the collision of two similar-sized bodies, both of which were approximately five times the size of Mars. After colliding and re-colliding with one another, this theory argues that the Earth would have been “surrounded by a disk of material that [later] combined to form the moon” (space.com). By colliding and partially merging with one another, this theory helps to explain the similarity of the Earth and Moon’s chemical compositions.
One major problem with this theory, however, is that the Moon’s overall density is quite different from the Earth. This, in turn, calls into question the idea that both the Earth and Moon formed from the same pre-planetary material. This hypothesis, which was once favored by many astronomers, therefore, is difficult to follow and has been relegated by the scientific community in more recent years (Slawson, 23).
“You cannot look up at the night sky on Planet Earth and not wonder what it’s like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.”  — Tom Hanks


Capture Theory Photo by Nicolas Thomas on Unsplash

Another scientific theory for the Moon’s formation is the “Capture Theory” which suggests that the Moon may have been snagged by the gravitational pull of the Earth at one point in its early history. Similar to the moons “Phobos and Deimos” that surround Mars, this theory suggests that the Moon may have formed outside of the solar system and eventually drifted towards Earth, where it was then drawn into the planet’s orbit. Other scientists have also hypothesized that the Moon may have been snagged from Venus’s orbit, which would explain the absence of moons around Venus. Such theories remain only speculative at this time (NASA.gov).
A major problem with this theory, however, is that captured moons often exhibit highly elliptical orbits. Moreover, captured moons are often oddly shaped (such as Phobos and Deimos) rather than the spherical dimensions of our current moon. According to other mathematical models, the capture of such a large moon (relative to the Earth’s size and mass) is also implausible, if not impossible (Owlcation.com). For such an event to occur, mathematical models demonstrate that the capture would have only had a small window of opportunity, requiring an extraordinarily precise location for the capture to occur. Given the similarities between the Moon and Earth’s mantle, it is also unlikely that the two bodies formed independently from one another.


Theory Photo by NASA on Unsplash“Daughter”

A fourth and final theory pertaining to the Moon’s formation is known as the “Daughter Theory.” This theory, which is far older and less-accepted by the scientific community posits that the Moon developed from the Earth itself. Advocates of this hypothesis suggest that the Moon may have originated from the Pacific Ocean basin. Scientists suggest that such a scenario would have occurred during the early years of Earth’s formation, when it was still a molten world and locked in a rapid rotational cycle (NASA.gov). This rapid rotation, they argue, may have resulted in the ejection of a massive object from the current Pacific Ocean basin, resulting in our current Moon.
Problems with this theory are numerous, as scientists remain unsure as to how the Earth could have been spinning so fast that a Moon-sized object was ejected from its exterior. Moreover, the possibility of a Moon-sized object being ejected from the Earth and following a stable orbit, afterwards, is also unlikely given that current mathematical models simply do no support the probabilities (space.com).


Conclusion Photo by Mike Petrucci on Unsplash

In closing, scientists continue to debate the origins of the Moon as no single model can account entirely for its overall formation. As with any scientific study, additional information will eventually shed greater light on the Moon’s formation. Although lunar expeditions from the Sixties and Seventies provided vital clues to the composition of the Moon’s surface and interior, further investigation of its surface is needed as the Moon’s chemical and physical composition is still poorly understood by the scientific community. With advances in technology, future expeditions to the lunar surface may be extremely beneficial to understanding the Moon’s formation. Only time will tell what new information arises about Earth’s closest neighbor.
⁣⁣⁣
Over the years, there have been several theories, but the one most scientists agree on is a collision theory. It’s likely that a Mars-sized object smashed into the Earth, creating what we now see in the sky.

I mean the real question is at any given point everything becomes very fine tuned for Earth to be a lovable planet.
The distance from Sun, the moon controlling the Ocean, and everything else! Is it just a coincidence? There is higher power! If the moon formed from the earth’s crust then it should have the same composition as earth but why is the moon’s composition different??

Exactly.. things aren’t this perfect by chance or coincidence.. We never see any unison or order being created from any explosion, so why would people think the “Big Bang” created this perfect order of nature for life to exist by coincidence. 
Exactly.. things aren’t this perfect by chance or coincidence.. We never see any unison or order being created from any explosion, so why would people think the “Big Bang” created this perfect order of nature for life to exist by coincidence.

Technically speaking, that’s not a theory… it’s a hypothesis

Watch the movie moonfall:  think a lot, would that be possible, because the darkness universe contains a lot of very huge dust of metals, bacteria, microbes and others that the earth itself contains, maybe this is like all the metals that the earth contains and it took this so that everyday life for our souls was born, have you ever thought about all this❤️😮🤗🤔🤫🙄


timetravelstargate
 Our moon was here long before the earth so actually the earth is the moon’s moon.
Both planets are habitable one is considerable colder due to no humans or fossil fuels to get caught in its atmosphere to warm it up over time so u see there’s zero difference and by this reasoning it lends supportive evidence to musk suggestion to terraform mars which initially sounds preposterous and now we know that it’s actually in the realm of possibilities thank you and good night 🤓

Fission is much more plausible. However, the reason for splitting was not fast rotation. Imagining Planets like Thea is wrong because they are ejected from the solar system completely.

 Hi there! If subtitles aren’t coming through, you can also watch this video on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/nasa  The Earth’s moon was in an additional order during construction.
There is a back-up Earth and Moon combo named Mk. II.

Why did the moon “ring like a bell” for almost an hour on the Apollo 12 mission? Is the moon hollow #WHATISNASANOTTELLINGUS

 And all you are telling anyone here is you don’t understand science or how it derives understanding and you watch youtube con men’s videos and don’t question them. If the moon was real… it should have been destroyed long ago by fast moving impact…. there’s no atmosphere to slow down any projectile…. moon was placed by mathematical geniusesI’d wager that one of the ice moons in our solar system (possibly Europa, Titan, Enceladus, or Mimas) could explain the origins of water on the earth and moon. 

Humanity has been to the moon. Get over it. (Opens NASA check, notices huge raise)
HUMANITY HAS BEEN TO THE MOON. GET OVER IT.  
Moon came from Shri Krishna’s mouth. 


He is itself the whole universe. Hare Krishna 🙌


Early on in the development of our solar system. When planet Theta collided with the young Earth. The message made. Combined over a long period of time into our moon. That used to be a lot closer than it is now. Our days and nights were much shorter. And the effect of the tide was much greater. The Moon is made of lighter matter like silica. Than the earth’s iron and other heavy metals. As time goes on the moon is moving away from us.
Eventually it will be far enough it will no longer be tidally locked with one side facing us all the time like it is now.

No. The moon does not rotate. It is in a tidally locked orbit or only one side of it faces the planet Earth   No. It rotates once for every orbit it makes around the earth. Look up ‘synchronous rotation’. If it truly didn’t rotate, we would see more of the surface as it orbited.

High & Low Tides

Posted on December 19, 2022 by Ken
When the sea level rises to its highest point, we call that high tide. When it falls to its lowest point, that’s called low tide.

“If you die, I die.” says Earth (lifespaceandthelot.com)
What Causes Tides?

By Vigdis Hocken, Konstantin Bikos, and Graham Jones
Ocean tides are caused by the Moon’s gravitational pull. But why does the water also rise on the side of Earth that faces away from the Moon?

Illustration showing how the gravitational force of the Sun and Moon act together and create spring tides at New Moon and Full Moon.
The oceans bulge. (Not to scale.)
©timeanddate.com

Moon Plays the Biggest Role
While both the Moon and the Sun influence the ocean tides, the Moon plays the biggest role. Although the Sun’s gravitational pull on the Earth is 178 times stronger than the Moon’s, the tidal bulges it causes are much smaller.
This is because, contrary to common belief, tides are not caused by the gravitational forces of the Moon or the Sun lifting up the oceans—their gravitational pull is much too weak for that. Rather, tides are created because the strength and direction of the gravitational pull varies depending on where on Earth you are. This variation creates the differential forces or tidal forces that in turn cause tides.
The tidal forces of the Moon are much stronger than the Sun’s because it is so much closer to our planet, causing a much greater variation in the gravitational force from one location to another. The Sun’s gravitational force, on the other hand, varies much less because the Sun is so far away.
The Moon: Our natural satellite
The Sun: Our home star

The Oceans Bulge
The overall effect of these tidal forces is to “squeeze” the oceans, and produce two tidal bulges on opposite sides of the Earth—one facing the Moon and a slightly smaller one facing away from the Moon (see illustration). Due to Earth’s rotation, the two bulges act like two expansive “waves” continuously undulating around our planet.
Topography Causes Variation
Mid-ocean, each tidal “wave” is just under a meter high, compared to the water level of the two troughs between them. However, the variation between high and low tide is very different from place to place. It can range from almost no difference to over 16 meters (over 50 feet).
This is because the water in the oceans is constrained by the shape and distance between the continents as well as varying ocean depths. As a result, the tides behave more like water sloshing around in an oddly shaped bathtub than in a smooth and even basin. In some places, the water flows freely and quickly, while in other areas, where the water has to pass through narrow channels, it moves more slowly.

High and Low Nearly Twice a Day
Tides are one of the most reliable phenomena in the world, and we know that they move in and out around twice a day, but not exactly. So, why is that?
A day on Earth is the time it takes our planet to spin once around its own axis in relation to the Sun. This is known as a solar day, and it lasts around 24 hours.
However, the time it takes Earth to reach the same position in relation to the Moon is, on average, 24 hours and 50 minutes, known as a lunar day. The reason the lunar day is longer than a solar day is that the Moon revolves around Earth in the same direction as Earth rotates around its axis, so it takes Earth, on average, an additional 50 minutes to “catch up” to the Moon.
Because the tidal force of the Moon is more than twice as strong as the Sun’s, the tides follow the lunar day, not the solar day. It takes half a lunar day, on average 12 hours and 25 minutes, from one high tide to the next, so we have high and low tides nearly twice a day.
According to the National Ocean Service, there are some exceptions to the main rule of two tides every lunar day. Along the coastline of the Gulf of Mexico, there is only one tide per day due to the local shoreline topography, among other things. This tidal cycle is called a diurnal cycle, as opposed to the normal semidiurnal cycle, where diurnal means daily and semi means half.

Continents Affect Tidal Lag
While in theory, the tidal bulges follow the Moon’s position on its orbit around the Earth, the depth and shape of the ocean and the distance between continents are also important in determining when the tide rolls in and out. The time that passes between the passage of the Moon and the onset of the high tide is called the tidal lag.
In the Southern Ocean, where tidal bulges can move relatively freely, the tidal lag may be around two hours. On the other hand, the tidal lag in the North Sea—a part of the Atlantic Ocean bounded by continental Europe and the British Isles—can be about two days.

The Sun has its own gravity, which can also affect the tides.

Gradual Ebb and Flow
The change from low to high tide is known as flood tide, while the change from high to low tide is called ebb tide. The technical term for the difference in water level between high tide and low tide is tidal range.
The flow and ebb are gradual, so it is not accurate to say that a high or low tide lasts around 6 hours and 12 minutes, i.e. a quarter of a lunar day. The speed of the water flow varies during this period, and it also varies from place to place.
The Rule of 12ths
People who have to consider the tides in their daily life, like sailors, fishers, and surfers, often use what is called the rule of 12ths to calculate the expected water level.

Illustration showing how the water levels changes between high and low tide according to the rule of 12ths.
The water level changes gradually.

This rule states that in the 1st hour after low tide the water level will rise by 1/12 of the predicted tidal range in any given area. In the 2nd hour, it will rise 2/12, and in the 3rd hour, it will rise 3/12. In the 4th hour, it will also rise 3/12, in the 5th, it will rise 2/12, and in the 6th hour, it will rise 1/12.
The sequence to remember is 1-2-3-3-2-1.
So, let’s say the predicted tidal range is 12 feet. In the 1st hour, the tide would rise 1 foot. In the 2nd hour, it would rise 2 feet. In the 3rd and 4th hours, it would rise 3 feet. In the 5th hour, the tide would rise 2 feet, and in the 6th hour, 1 foot.

Storm Tides and Surge
The astronomical forces that drive the tides can be predicted very accurately, and these predictions are published in local tidal tables. However, different weather conditions also affect the sea level and may cause both lower and higher tides than expected. If there is a storm, the seawater level often increases. This is called a storm tide and is caused by a combination of storm surge and normal tidal movement.
Strong offshore winds can move water away from coastlines, exaggerating the low tide. At the same time, onshore winds may cause the water to pile up onto the shoreline, making the low tide higher than usual.
High-pressure weather systems can lead to days with exceptionally low tides. In contrast, low-pressure systems may contribute to causing much higher tides than predicted.

Average and Extreme Tides
The average tidal range in mid-ocean is around 1 meter or 3 feet. However, in some coastal areas, the tidal range can be more than 10 times higher in the most extreme regions. To give an average for tidal range along the world’s coastlines doesn’t make much sense, as they vary so much from place to place.

The world’s highest tide is in the Bay of Fundy in Canada, where the difference between low and high tide can be up to 16.3 meters (53.5 feet). The highest tides in the US can reach 12.2 meters (40 feet) near Anchorage, Alaska. Along the coast of the UK, the tidal range varies from as little as 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) to a maximum of 15 meters (50 feet).
Spring Tides
The Moon phase also plays a part in the tidal range. The greatest difference between high and low tide is around New Moon and Full Moon. During these Moon phases, the solar tide coincides with the lunar tide because the Sun and the Moon are aligned with Earth, and their gravitational forces combine to pull the ocean’s water in the same direction. These tides are known as spring tides or king tides. The name has nothing to do with the season spring, but rather it is a synonym for jump or leap.
An equinoctial spring tide is a spring tide that coincides with either the March equinox or the September equinox, when the Sun is directly above the Earth’s equator. These spring tides usually have an even greater tidal range.

Perigean and Apogean Spring Tides
Several times a year, the Full Moon or New Moon happens as the Moon is around its closest point to Earth, called perigee. This is popularly known as a Supermoon and leads to even larger variation between high and low tides, known as perigean spring tides. However, the difference from a normal spring tide is only around 5 cm or 2 inches.
The opposite happens when the Full or New Moon is around its farthest from Earth, apogee, also known as Micromoon. The apogean spring tides are around 5 cm (2 inches) smaller than regular spring tides.

The tidal range is smallest at the 2 Quarter Moons.

Neap Tides
The tidal range is smallest around the Quarter Moons /Half Moons because the gravitational force from the Moon and the Sun counteract each other at these 2 points of the lunar month. These tides are called neap tides or neaps, from Anglo-Saxon, meaning without the power. Neaps always occur about 7 days after spring tides.
Oceans and Some Rivers
There is a difference between having noticeable tides and having true tides. For tides to be noticeable, the body of water has to be huge, like an ocean. Even though true tides also occur in smaller water basins, like big lakes, the tidal variations here are too small to notice.
For example, in the Great Lakes in the US, the largest tidal range is less than 5 cm or just under 2 inches. Different weather conditions, such as wind and barometric pressure, creates bigger differences in the water level than tides on these lakes. This is also the case in the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, and even the Mediterranean.
Many rivers connecting to the ocean do have high and low tides. In some of these tidal rivers, the water drains away almost entirely at low tide, making it possible to walk across the bottom of the river. If a part of a larger river is affected by the tides, the section affected is known as tidal reach.

In a few areas, where the tide comes into a narrow bay or river, tidal bores can form. Created by the incoming tide, tidal bores are waves which travel against the direction of the water current.
Tides in the Human Body?
Many people believe that the Moon’s gravitational force also affects humans, as our bodies are made up of approximately 70% fluid. However, there is no scientific evidence supporting this belief. Compared to the Earth’s oceans, the human body is far too small and contains far too little liquid to experience tides caused by the Moon in any meaningful way. Topics: Moon, Earth, Sun, Astronomy

The Conversation is asking kids to send in questions they’d like an expert to answer. Lachie from Melbourne wants to know how the Moon, being so far away, affects the tides on Earth. An expert explains.
The short answer is that the Moon’s gravity pulls the oceans (and us) towards it. Even though the Moon is so far away, it is large enough that its force of gravity is strong enough to do that.
But before we get into how the Moon affects tides, let’s look at what tides are.
Tides are the rise and fall of water level in the oceans (and lakes, and even in your cup of water, but they’re very small).
When the sea level rises to its highest point, we call that high tide. When it falls to its lowest point, that’s called low tide.
The rise and fall of the tides is known as the tide cycle. If there’s one high tide and one low tide a day, like you would see if you went on holiday to Perth, it’s called a diurnal tide cycle. If there are two high tides and two low tides, like you see in Victoria, it’s called a semi-diurnal tide cycle.
The Moon has the most effect on the tides, but it’s not the only factor that affects them. The Sun and the Earth can also affect the tides. We’ll start with the Moon.

Tides and the Moon
The Moon affects the tides because of gravity. You will have noticed that every time you jump, you always land back on the ground. This is because the Earth’s gravity is pulling you back down.

The Moon has gravity of its own, which pulls the oceans (and us) towards it.
The Moon’s gravitational pull on us is much weaker than Earth’s, so we don’t really notice it, but we can see the Moon’s effect on the liquid water of the oceans.
The oceans are pulled towards the Moon’s gravity slightly, causing a bulge or high tide on the side of the Earth closest to the Moon.

The Earth’s effect
If the Moon causes a high tide on one side of the Earth, what causes the high tide on the other side?
The Earth is spinning, which is why we have night and day. The Earth’s spinning means that another high tide occurs on the opposite side of the Earth to the Moon.
These two high tides draw water away from the rest of the oceans, causing two low tides between the high tides.
(631) Why do we have tides? – Forces of Nature with Brian Cox: Episode 2 – BBC One – YouTube

Professor Brian Cox explains why we have tides.
The Sun
The Sun, just like the Moon and the Earth, also has its own gravity that can affect the tides.
Although the Sun is much larger than the Moon and has more gravity, it’s also much further away, meaning its pull on the tides is less than half as strong as the Moon’s.
It still does have an effect, though. When the Sun and Moon are in line with the Earth (when a full moon or new moon occur), their combined gravity causes very high tides (and very low tides), known as “spring tides”.
When the Sun and Moon are at right angles to each other (during a waxing or waning moon), the Sun helps to cancel out the pull of gravity from the Moon, causing lower high tides and higher than average low tides, known as “neap tides”.
