Coaching Michael Jordan

In 1978, Michael Jordan was just another kid in the gym, along with 50 or so of his classmates, trying out for the Emsley A. Laney High School varsity basketball team. There were 15 roster spots. Jordan—then a 15-year-old sophomore who was only 5’10” and could not yet dunk a basketball—did not get one. His close friend, 6’7” sophomore Leroy Smith, did. The team was in need of his length. “It was embarrassing not making the team,” Jordan later said. He went home, locked himself in his room and cried.
Then he picked himself up and turned the cut into motivation. “Whenever I was working out and got tired and figured I ought to stop, I’d close my eyes and see that list in the locker room without my name on it,” Jordan would explain.
“That usually got me going again.”
Jordan, using that sizable chip on his shoulder to his advantage, spent his sophomore year as the star of the junior varsity team. He put up multiple 40-point games and attracted crowds that were unprecedented for a JV affair.

THE SUMMER LEADING INTO HIS JUNIOR YEAR, JORDAN BEGAN TO MORPH.
IN 1979 HE GREW 4 INCHES AND WORKED OUT CONSTANTLY. THAT YEAR HE MADE THE VARSITY SQUAD AND INSTANTLY BECAME LANEY HIGH’S BEST PLAYER, AVERAGING MORE THAN 20 POINTS A GAME. DESPITE HAVING SECURED HIS SPOT ON THE TEAM; JORDAN’S WORK ETHIC DIDN’T DROP OFF.
HIS SENIOR YEAR HE AVERAGED A TRIPLE-DOUBLE AND LED LANEY HIGH
TO A 19-4 RECORD. JORDAN CAPPED OFF HIS HIGH SCHOOL CAREER IN STYLE, BEING NAMED A MCDONALD’S ALL-AMERICAN. HE WASN’T YET HIS AIRNESS, BUT HE WAS WELL ON HIS WAY.

Why Michael Jordan Didn’t Make His High School Basketball Team.
Michael Jordan’s high school basketball career is best known for what didn’t happen.
In the fall of 1978, Jordan didn’t make the varsity team as a sophomore at Laney High School in Wilmington, N.C. He played for the junior varsity instead. After growing six inches, he made the varsity team and starred for two seasons before signing with the University of North Carolina and becoming the dominant NBA player of his generation.
Just Call Him Mike
Back in 1978, Jordan was known as Mike, not Michael. He was more accomplished as a baseball player than as a basketball player. He was an outstanding center fielder and pitcher who would later throw 45 consecutive shutout innings for Laney High School.
He stood just 5 feet, 9 inches as a sophomore. The basketball team returned 11 seniors and three juniors that year, including eight guards. The older players called the reticent Jordan “Peanut” and “Shagnut,” which were not terms of endearment. Nobody had any inkling that a future Hall of Fame player was in their midst.

The Rejection
Laney High School coach Clifton “Pop” Herring had one spot for a sophomore and
filled it with 6-foot-7 forward Leroy Smith, opting to add some badly needed size.
Smith blossomed into a star, going on to play for North Carolina-Charlotte and various European leagues before embarking on a successful business career. But the relegation to junior varsity stung Jordan. “It was embarrassing not making that team,” Jordan later told ESPN. “They posted the roster, and it was there for a long, long time without my name on it. I remember being really mad, too, because there was a guy who made it that really wasn’t as good as me.”

The Response
Jordan threw up a couple of 40-point games for the JV team but never got called up to the varsity as a sophomore. “Never even discussed it,” said Ron Coley, one of Herring’s assistant coaches on that team. But Jordan started growing and he kept working, day after day after day. “He never wanted to lose in anything,” said Ruby Smith, a physical education teacher at Laney. “That was in-born into him. I normally get to school between 7 and 7:30. Michael would be at school before I would. Every time I’d come in and open these doors, I’d hear the basketball. Fall, wintertime, summertime. Most mornings I had to run Michael out of the gym.”

Finally, Stardom
Jordan took flight as a junior. He was assertive now, not shy.
He scored 35 points during his first varsity game. In two seasons for Laney, he averaged 25.4 points, 12 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. After his junior season, he was invited to Howard Garfinkel’s Five-Star Basketball Camp.
He dazzled college scouts while playing head-to-head against other top high school players. North Carolina coach Dean Smith targeted him as a priority recruit and signed him before Jordan’s senior season.

Finishing With a Flourish
Jordan led Laney to the No. 1 state ranking as a senior, but he couldn’t lead his school to a state title. Rival New Hanover delivered the knockout blow, 56-52, in the conference championship game. New Hanover coach Jim Hebron believes Laney could have gone further had coach Pop Herring used Jordan differently. “He could have played him inside and won a state championship,” Hebron said. “But he didn’t. All he was concerned about was, `How can I prepare him for college?'” Jordan’s consolation came when he poured in 30 points at the McDonald’s High School All-American Basketball Game after the season.

Charlie Engle knows about maintaining momentum.
By D.C. Lucchesi

In Running Man: A Memoir: Engle, Charlie tells the gripping, surprising, funny, emotional, and inspiring story of his life, detailing his setbacks and struggles—from coping with addiction to serving time in prison—and how he blazed a path to freedom by putting one foot in front of the other. This is a propulsive, raw, and triumphant story about finding the threshold of human endurance and transcending it.
A compulsively readable, remarkably candid memoir from world class ultra-marathon runner Charlie Engle chronicling his globe-spanning races, his record-breaking run across the Sahara Desert, and how running helped him overcome drug addiction…and an unjust stint in federal prison.

Running Man: A Memoir | Charlie Engle | Talks at Google – YouTube

After a decade-long addiction to crack cocaine and alcohol, Charlie Engle hit bottom with a near-fatal six-day binge that ended in a hail of bullets. As Engle got sober, he turned to running, which became his lifeline, his pastime, and his salvation. He began with marathons, and when marathons weren’t far enough, he began to take on ultramarathons, races that went for thirty-five, fifty, and sometimes hundreds of miles, traveling to some of the most unforgiving places on earth to race. The Matt Damon-produced documentary, Running the Sahara, followed Engle as he led a team on a harrowing, record breaking 4,500-mile run across the Sahara Desert, which helped raise millions of dollars for charity.

Charlie’s growing notoriety led to an investigation and a subsequent unjust conviction for mortgage fraud. Engle would spend sixteen months in federal prison in Beckley, West Virginia. While in jail, he pounded the small prison track, running endlessly in circles. Soon his fellow inmates were joining him, struggling to keep their spirits up in dehumanizing circumstances.

  As an adventure racer and ultra-distance athlete, you can’t run across the country or another continent without being able to keep your focus on a finish line that could be weeks or even months away.  But one of this Greensboro N.C. resident’s current challenges may never have a finish line: maintaining the public’s interest in H20 Africa, the charitable component of his historic run across the African continent. 
Even in the heat of summer training and racing in the Carolinas, the lack or absence of water is never a consideration.  But to many in the heart of Africa, it is a striking reality.  Engle’s epic run and Africa’s enduring water crisis are documented in the film Running the Sahara【2008】The film, narrated and produced by Oscar-winner Matt Damon, is being showcased primarily at major marathons until the end of the year.  An advance screening in Charlotte gave us the opportunity to talk to Engle about the film and the effort to access water in Africa.

ENDURANCE: How’s the film tour going so far?
ENGLE: It’s awesome, really.  There are probably 25 or so dates this year. 
We’re selling a lot of the DVD’s, the downloads are going great, and honestly, these events aren’t really rainmakers so much as they are about spreading the word. 
ENDURANCE: You’ve said that the running community has been very supportive
of the effort.  If that’s like preaching to the choir, how will you spread the word to the “unchurched”?
ENGLE: That’s part of our goal.  And what I usually tell people is, look, this isn’t just a running movie… yes there’s running involved, but that’s not what it’s all about.  I do believe, though, that if all we ever did was reach the running and triathlon community, we’d reach a huge group of people with this story.  I mean, if I was to tell someone ten years ago that I was running a marathon, most of the time, you’d get a response like,
‘I don’t even like to drive my car that far.’  Today, if you tell someone you’re running a marathon, there’s a solid 50-50 chance they’ll say, ‘oh yeah, I did one last year, or I’ve done three, or I’d like to do one.’  They’re not going to say, ‘you’re crazy,’ or anything.  That’s a really big change.
ENDURANCE: About the issue of the water crisis in Africa. Is that something that you had in mind before you started the run, or something that came along organically during the run?
ENGLE: The water issue really came about around a year before the run.
I went over to Africa to scout out the route.  I’m in this village with about 100,000 people that should have had about 20,000 in it.  It’s because all of these nomadic people are being forced into these villages.  And there are all these aid agencies over there dealing with HIV, malaria and what have you, but no one’s dealing with the water issue.  That’s where the natural relationship between being a runner and needing water really made sense. 
Ultimately, Matt Damon and his involvement became critical.  Having his name attached to it has really allowed us to raise a lot of money and awareness.  A lot of the money we’ve raised – about six million dollars so far – has been not only for water, but also for sanitation.  In that part of the world, it’s often rare that someone has that connection. 
ENDURANCE:  The release of Running the Sahara and the film’s tour are going to help reenergize efforts around the water crisis in Africa.  How do you hope to sustain the momentum for this issue?
ENGLE: For me, it’s about finding another project.  I haven’t personally come to terms with it, like, ‘now I’m whole, or whatever.’  For me, moving on or maintaining that momentum is about finding the next challenge, goal or project. Sustaining it does mean putting myself back out there.  And I’ll tell you, the more people hear this story about the Sahara, I guarantee you, there were at least ten people in that theatre tonight who are going home and deciding that they’re going to do something that they didn’t plan on doing.  And for me, it’s like that, too. 
ENDURANCE: Most of us have never been without water.  Even with the moderate to extreme drought conditions that we faced in North Carolina and many other parts of the U.S. last year, we were never more than mildly inconvenienced.  Do you think it’s hard for us here to understand what it’s truly like to be without water or how they could make a difference?
ENGLE: It’s a difficult concept, for sure.  Here’s what I was telling a class at an inner-city school about the issue and the water problem.  I asked them if they really thought it made any difference if they cut their shower short or didn’t run the water while they brushed their teeth.  They all said, ‘no, not really.’ 
Then I asked them if one vote would or could make a difference in an election. 
Of course, they all said, ‘yes!’  So the kids understand the concept that one person can make a difference, they – and we all do – need to learn to apply that lesson to personal conservation.  To use the “ultra” terminology, we’ll eventually get there; it’s just going to take some pain and suffering. 

Engle and the film will be back in the Carolinas this fall for screenings at Raleigh’s City
of Oaks Marathon and Charlotte’s Thunder Road Marathon.  A DVD copy of Running the Sahara can be purchased or downloaded online at http://www.runningthesahara.com/.

High & Low Tides

Posted on November 12, 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?

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.
Sleep, crime, and menstruation: how the Moon affects humans

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 pts 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.

(631) How the moon affects Earth’s tides – YouTube
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.

Professor Brian Cox explains why we have tides. Why do we have tides? –
Forces of Nature with Brian Cox: Episode 2 – BBC One – YouTube

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”.

The Conditions of Human Design

Posted on November 12, 2022 by Ken
You have to follow your soul purpose in life with clear conscious!!

On her Instagram page last night Human Design Formation & naturopathe (@elisasorci___) • Instagram photos and videos Elisa Sorci taught me the conditions
of Human Design and how they impact the conditions and the outcomes of your life.

The Conditions of Human Design – Bing video

Her free reading to me went something like this: 
I see a lot of pain from a recent upset in your personal life. Toxic relationships have you worn down so far that you are the bottom of yourself and have all but given up hope. 
It is because of your inner strengths that you keep going. You have an inner spark that keeps you alive and what you need Is a flame in your soul again. That flame will be
coming to you soon and you will see your soul change and grow in the coming weeks.

I see that you came to this world with a lot of good, great blessings.
But I see that when you were still a kid some of your family members cast a spell on you. That has been delaying all the great blessings meant for you, and it’s this spell that has been affecting your relationships thus until you break the spell before your life can fall back in place and you will be able to receive all the good, great blessings for you. 
I see that you need positive actions!

Some Things have happened that you were afraid of, and you stayed behind in the past! 
You must find your peace and new arrivals where you want to go out into the world again! and create new friendships! It takes patience and no more tears! Be nice! And you should not worry that you were treated badly! You are a sensitive person with also nice energy!
Be nice! Regain your strength! But banish all negativity from you!

The message your Spirits have for you is that there’s some Compromising that needs
to be done. I’m seeing a need for clear communication and you gotta start setting health boundaries for yourself. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you. No means No and ppl will try tf outta you unless you put your foot down about certain things. I’m feeling like you’re operating from a place of fear, maybe you feel like you’re going to get hurt again or maybe you feel like you’re lacking or not attractive in certain ways to someone.

Elisa through her reading and experiences working with people can help you to release these dark forces within your body. When I was on Instagram with Elisa I felt that her positive spirit and compassion for what she does online produced a positive impact immediately.  To get the most Elisa sessions one must enter into it with an open mind, listen to what she says and also don’t question the science behind it.

Love Conquers All and hate is on the opposite end of that spectrum and
in order to release the dark forces, you have to overcome the darkness

by living a loving and Happy living life.  🎯

An encounter by chance or coincidence…
I can say it happened at the best time in my life!

4 years ago, during my professional retraining. I was completely lost… What am I going
to do with my life? I didn’t know what really drove me and I had a hard time choosing…
I didn’t know what career to turn to… I lacked self-confidence, constantly questioning myself… Am I able? Good enough? Which direction to take?
How do I get out of this self-sabotage on myself? I was coming out of a burn-out that had completely exhausted me, mentally, emotionally and physically… I experienced this burnout and it was during this period in early 2018 that I discovered and became passionate about the world of personal development. After taking care of myself through exceptional practices, such as: Sophrology, Human design and naturopathy…
That I realize the unconditional POWER of these tools and I decide to train myself. Today I realize how much human design aka human design has helped me! Understanding my Human design has been one of the most beautiful things chosen in my life so far and you will understand! At first I said to myself my God but how do I understand this body chart? There is so much information! Then I let myself be guided by a professional in Human Design. Coming out, I asked my companion if she hadn’t put microphones in our house.

It was Oufisime… What does “oufisime” mean?
I saw it written down and google isn’t telling me anything :/
It’s sheer slang, it means “craziest”, like something outstanding 🙂
 
I worked on several wounds: Rejection injury, inferiority complex, fear of losing, relationship with money, lack of self-esteem and for me it’s the best gift we can give ourselves To understand ; accept yourself and then be enough to create the life you want Today I have several businesses that generate a lot of money, and yet I started from scratch. So if you too want to take your place, to assert yourself in his world… To raise your voice.. To satisfy your life mission, to understand yourself, to activate your gifts, your talents, to understand your vulnerabilities, to accept them to obtain this real roadmap that can reach you at heights… To create the professional career of your dreams like I did…
I am delighted to make you discover this tool as well as many other extraordinary things!

With The Holiday Season Approaching

Posted on November 11, 2022 by Ken
The probable date of the Birth of Jesus is in June of 2 BC and of the crucifixion, April 3. 33 AD fits best.

History, Astronomy and the Prophet Daniel Provide the Date: 
0f the Crucifixion of Jesus Was Friday April 3, 33 A.D.

Jesus waited to reveal that he was God until his time had come. 
While this had many purposes, one was to fulfill all Bible prophecy,
including the date of his death. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
and his resurrection are the two most important events in human history. 

Why is this so? 
Because of Jesus’ death, every person has the opportunity for eternal salvation. 
Without it no one can be saved.  The sin of mankind would require an atoning sacrifice. 
No human could atone for mankind’s sin.  Only God himself could do this.
But when was this great event?  Of course, it is not necessary to know the precise date—
all a believer must know is that it truly happened.  Yet the Bible gives us this date when
we examine Daniels’ prophecy.
There are many historical, astronomical, and calendar events connected with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.  When combined only one crucifixion date perfectly fits all the criteria.  When we look at: 1) the ministry of John the Baptist, 2) the reign of Pontius Pilate, 3) the reign of Herod Antipas, 4) the writings of the historian Josephus,
5) the conversion of Paul, 6) the astronomical calculations of Isaac Newton, 7) the Jewish calendar, 8) the Roman calendar, 9) the Passover requirements, 10) the Jerusalem lunar eclipse and 11) the 69 sevens prophecy of Daniel, only the date of April 3, 33 AD perfectly fits all criteria to give the crucifixion date.

Read the full article on the April 3, 33 AD crucifixion date here:

JESUS HAD AN APPOINTED TIME TO DECLARE HE WAS GOD–AND TO DIE
Jesus said more than once his time had not yet arrived.  Jesus waited for the
right time to declare he was God.  This causes confusion to some, for example
Muslims, who take text out of context. Matthew 16:15-20 (NIV)
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.  And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”  Then he ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Muslims are taught Jesus was not God, was not crucified and did not rise from the dead.  With this false teaching, they do not have a path to God.  In the Koran, the Satanic spirit appearing to Mohammad gave a message that the crucifixion did not occur. 
(Koran 4:157 And for their saying, “Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah .” And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but another was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption.
And they did not kill him, for certain.)

JESUS SAID: “DO NOT THINK THAT I HAVE COME TO ABOLISH
THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS” and “MY TIME IS NOT YET HERE”

It can be confusing when we read Bible passages where Jesus did not come
right out and say he was God.  (For example: Mark 10:18 “Why do you call me good?
No one is good, except God alone.”)  Everything Jesus said was part of God’s plan. 
Since Jesus is God, it was his plan, and Jesus knew the plan down to each minute.
These instances were early in his ministry, and his appointed time to reveal his divine nature too early to fulfill all prophecy.  The other times were at the time of his death
when he bore the sin of the world.  (for example while on the cross: Matthew 27:46.
“My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?”)

Why would Jesus wait to confirm he is God?  Jesus knew that as soon as he confirmed he was the Son of God the Pharisees would kill him.  So, his death date had to perfectly fulfill all prophecies of the prophets—including the precise date of his death given by the prophet Daniel (Daniel 9:25-26) some 550 years earlier.
Matthew 5:17-18  (NIV)

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.  For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear,
not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the
Law until everything is accomplished.”
John 7:6-9 (NIV)

Therefore, Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do. 
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. 
You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not
yet fully come.”  After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
John 7:28-31 (NIV)

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,  but I know him because I am from him and he sent me.” At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.  Still, many in the crowd believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man?”
Daniel 9:25-26 (NIV)

“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’
and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 
After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.
The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The Book of Nehemiah gives us the starting date for the 69 sevens. 
In the fifth century BC a Hebrew named Nehemiah, then cup bearer to the Med- Persian king Artaxerxes, wrote of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem:
Nehemiah 2:1-5 (NIV)

In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought
for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before,
so, the king asked me, “Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill?

This can be nothing but sadness of the heart.”
I was very much afraid, but I said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not look sad when the city where my ancestors are buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?”
The king said to me, “What is it you want?” Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king, “If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.”

Nehemiah requested that he be allowed to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the city. 
King Artaxerxes granted his wish on the spot and gave him official “letters” or documents for easy passage. This occurred, we are told in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes Longimanus’ reign. Artaxerxes Longimanus ascended to the throne of the Medo-Persian empire in July 464 BC. The twentieth year of his reign would have begun in July 445 B.C.
The decree occurred approximately nine months later in the month of Nisan
(March/April on our calendar). The exact date of the decree is March 5, 444 BC.

Therefore, Nisan 444 BC marks the starting point of the 7 and 62 sevens of Daniel. 
Daniel says the 69 sevens (7 + 62) were to expire shortly before Christ’s death.  Hence the ending point for the 69th seven (69 x 7 years) is shortly before Christ’s death. To do this calculation correctly, we must first understand a Hebrew Old Testament prophetic year.  The Hebrew prophetic year had fewer days than the Roman year of 365.24 days.
The Hebrew Old Testament year was 360 days. 

This gives us the date of April 3, 33 AD.

The fact that the prophets understood a year as 360 days is well attested. God created the sun to mark the seasons and years. He made the moon to mark the days.  There are 354.37 days in a lunar year (of 12 moons/months), and 365.24 days in a solar year; together they average 360 days.  For a detailed analysis of the Old Testament prophetic years equaling 360 days–see the Appendix.

69 x 360 = 173,880 days
March 5, 444 BC to April 3, 33 AD is 173,880 days
Christ was crucified on Friday April 3, 33 AD. 
He arose from the dead on the third day, Sunday April 5, 33 AD.

SEPTEMBER 11-THE TRUE DATE OF JESUS’ BIRTH? – (ifapray.org)
The study on the Star of Bethlehem is perhaps the most convincing, compelling evidence for both dates.  In September of 3 BC, the planet Jupiter was seen to be in conjunction with the star Regulus, and entered retrograde motion, and returned, and then reversed again, for a triple conjunction.  If one assumes a conception at the first conjunction, that would place the birth of Jesus somewhere in June of the following year, at which time there was a conjunction between Jupiter and Venus, that clearly would have been the brightest star in the sky.

At the crucifixion, we have the scientific evidence of the Lunar eclipse on that date,
along with the historical record of a great darkness which could not have been an eclipse, both pointing to April 3rd.
In ancient Israel (who was occupied by the Roman Empire at the time) the practice of crucifixion would take place. It was considered one of the most offensive, brutal and shameful modes of death. It was performed by the Romans even though crucifixion was adopted from the ancient Phoneticians. The Romans would crucify the worst of people. They would crucify disgraced soldiers, slaves, foreigners, rebels and messiahs. Ancient historians like Josephus described what the crucifixion was like. He said they would strip the person completely naked and then proceed to nail them to a cross or wooden beam. This person while hanging on the cross would have difficulty breathing. They had to raise themselves by pushing their pierced feet against the wooden beam to breathe.

The crucifixion would last for days and even weeks making death seem desirable for the tormented victim. The victim would defecate and urinate on themselves in the process. The victims would die of asphyxiation and some were left on the cross to rot.
Scavenger animals and birds would eat the carcasses of the victims for all to see.
Rome was sending a message, and the message was if you rebel against Rome this is what awaits you, humiliation, torture and death. At one point there were so many crucifixions performed by the Romans they ran out of wood and nails. For 500 years the Romans perfected crucifixion until it was abolished by Constantine I in the 4th century AD.
Death of the victim would usually take place due to scourging, maiming, hemorrhaging, dehydration, shock and asphyxiation that would lead to cardiac arrest. The attending guards could only leave the site after the victim had died. Roman guards were known to accelerate death by fracturing the victims tibia and or fibula. They would also spear stab wounds to the heart, hit the victim with sharp blows to the front of the chest, or start a smoking fire built at the foot of the cross to asphyxiate the victim.

As horrible as this all may seem, it was nothing compared to what Jesus Christ suffered
on the cross. While others endured the wrath of Rome, Jesus Christ endured the wrath of God. He took the punishment for OUR sins: For more detailed analysis of these dates for the birth and death of Jesus, visit the Star of Bethlehem website.

A policeman removes the handcuffs from Brittney Griner in a courtroom just outside Moscow, Russia.

BRITTNEY GRINER SENTENCED TO RUSSIAN PENAL COLONY – Bing video
No one close to the WNBA star knows the whereabouts or the conditions of the colony Griner is being transferred to, and they might not know for some time.

A policeman removes the handcuffs from WNBA star and two-time Olympic gold medalist Brittney Griner in a courtroom prior to a hearing in the Khimki district court, just outside Moscow, Russia, Griner was arrested in February at the Russian capital’s Sheremetyevo Airport when customs officials said they found vape canisters
with cannabis oil in her luggage.

She has been jailed since then, facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
“Notification is given via official mail and normally takes up to two weeks to be received,” her lawyers said, per ESPN.

The 32-year-old basketball player has been detained in Russia since February after Russian authorities allegedly discovered cannabis oil in Griner’s luggage when she
arrived in Moscow to play pro ball in the country.

Brittney Griner meets with U.S. officials, as the Biden administration tries to release her.
In August, a Russian court convicted her of “trying to smuggle narcotics.” On appeal in October, the court upheld the conviction, keeping her sentencing to nine years in prison, according to The New York Times.

WNBA star Brittney Griner is being moved to a Russian penal colony, her lawyers said on Wednesday. No one close to Griner knows exactly where the colony is located or how long she will be detained there, ESPN reported.
“Notification is given via official mail and normally takes up to two weeks to be received,” her lawyers said, per ESPN.

RELATED Brittney Griner timeline: What led to WNBA star’s conviction?
Prisoners typically work long hours, with little pay in most colonies. Many sleeps in crowded dorms on metal cots for beds. How bad conditions are depends on which penal colony it is, according to the Centre for Eastern Studies, a Polish think tank.
“Despite several attempts to reform the prison system in Russia, they still resemble the Soviet Gulag: human rights violations and torture are common,” the Centre for Eastern Studies said.

RELATED What happens in a Russian penal colony? – Search (bing.com)

WNBA player Brittney Griner is being transferred to a Russian penal colony.
On Wednesday (November 9), one day after U.S. embassy officials met with Griner
weeks after she denied appeal, her legal team made the announcement. It’s unknown where the Phoenix Mercury player, who was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison 
back in August, will be moved to.
A penal colony (also known as an exile colony) is a prison camp where prisoners are housed in barracks and often perform labor. 
As CNN noted in a report, most were built during the Soviet Union, with a vast majority of Russia’s prisons being penal colonies. Griner’s family might also have to wait to hear of her whereabouts, as “notification is given via official mail and normally takes up to two weeks to be received,” according to her lawyers. 
Her legal team also said that because transfers normally take anywhere from weeks to months, it was unusual that a decision was made so quickly. Griner was denied appeal in October, which opened the possibility of being moved from her previous Moscow jail into harsher conditions of the penal colony, where prisoners often endure hard labor & abuse.

MOSCOW — Brittney Griner moving to Russian penal colony; exact location unknown.
President Biden said Wednesday that he hopes Russian President Vladimir Putin will be more willing to negotiate the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner now that the U.S. midterm elections are over.
“My hope is that now that the election is over, that Mr. Putin will be able to discuss with us and be willing to talk more seriously about a prisoner exchange,” Biden told reporters at a news conference.
He spoke hours after Griner’s lawyers revealed that she had been sent to a penal colony to serve her sentence for drug possession.

Who is Paul Whelan, the ex-US Marine jailed in Russia?
U.S. officials have for months tried to negotiate the release of Griner and another American jailed in Russia, Paul Whelan. But there have been no overt signs of progress.
A diplomatic resolution has taken on new urgency after a Russian court rejected an appeal of her nine-year sentence last month. The eight-time all-star center with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and two-time Olympic gold medalist was convicted Aug. 4 after police said they found vape canisters containing cannabis oil in her luggage at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport.

Her arrest came at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington,
just days before Russia sent troops into Ukraine, and the politically charged case could lead to a high-stakes prisoner exchange between Washington and Moscow.
Such transfers can take days or even weeks, during which time lawyers and loved ones usually don’t have contact with the prisoner. Even after she arrives, access to Griner may be difficult because many penal colonies are in remote parts of Russia.
Her lawyers said Wednesday that they did not know exactly where she was or where she would end up — but that they expected to be notified when she reached her final destination.

In a statement stressing the work being done to secure Griner’s release, U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken insisted that Russian authorities give the embassy regular access to Griner, as they are required to do. Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow visited Griner last week.
A senior State Department official, who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case, said the Russians had not notified American diplomats of Griner’s transfer ahead of time and had not yet responded to queries from the U.S. Embassy about her whereabouts or ultimate destination.

RELATED High-profile activists have reported abysmal living conditions and exhaustive work expectations while being housed in Russian penal colonies, CNN reported.
In many penal colonies, prisoners work for minimal pay, and dissidents and other countries have denounced the conditions of those held. Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny went on a hunger strike in 2021 to protest his treatment, including officials’ refusal to give him the right medicines and to allow his doctor to visit him behind bars.
He also protested the hourly checks a guard makes on him at night,
saying they amount to sleep deprivation torture.

BOTTOMLINE: Griner, 32, was detained while returning to play for a Russian team during the WNBA’s offseason, has admitted that she had the canisters in her luggage.
But she testified that she had inadvertently packed them in haste and that she had no criminal intent. Her defense team presented written statements that she had been prescribed cannabis to treat pain.
The Associated Press and other news organizations have reported that Washington has offered to exchange Griner and Whelan — an American serving a 16-year sentence in Russia for espionage — for Viktor Bout. Bout is a Russian arms dealer who is serving a
25-year sentence in the U.S. and once earned the nickname the “merchant of death.”

Nationalism versus Fascism

Posted on November 9, 2022 by Ken
Consider this, for instance. Atheists are very strong advocates of separation of Church & State, yet the separation of church and state meme is itself a Christian meme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You were quite confident of your opinion on separation of church and state, and I bet others would like to know how well informed you are. Of course, would be nice to get to more interesting things like examining the difference between the West and the Islamic world and what influence Canossa had in that regard.  I am willing to admit that I know nothing of Canossa. 

Any reference material you could recommend would be appreciated.

Anyway, the point is that this is a political group and not a religious group.
Hence debating what the separation and church means, what it should mean, how it should be implemented etc, is obviously fair game. And, as I said much earlier, I don’t even mind discussing at times more purely religious things.
But when a religious-metaphysical discussion goes on for over 12 hours that’s problematic, because this is not a religious group. The question is whether you’re a liberal or not, not if you’re Christian or atheist. We should be opposed to religious and atheist tyrants.

Referenced above: Tom Holland. Popular historian. Tells dramatic narratives. Contrarian The main point is that if we want to discuss separation of church and state one needs to really start with early Christianity and track its evolution, with Canossa being a major historical marker. And if you haven’t figured it out yet, atheists even more than christians are in desperate need of understanding that history. It’s the atheists that are typically the most confused. 

Our increasingly secular society would probably know that if the academics themselves weren’t so fanatically atheist, which causes them to dismiss even the history of Christianity. I was always taught the original intent was to restrict the government from interfering with the Church but the loudest atheists seem to feel it was meant to restrict the Church. Again, again, and again, the extremes meet on the extremes, not in the middle. So Atheists, as always, have much in common with the religious fanatics they despise.

Not only is this a political and not a religious group, but bringing up religion, which is generally based on belief and not science, inevitably highlights fissures within the liberal camp, this when totalitarians are seizing power. Again, feel free to start a religious group
if you like. It is mostly leftwing atheists who are leading the charge against postmodern racist communism actually. 

Now consider that. That’s interesting, isn’t it?
Btw, I’m sure some socio-cultural evolutionary theorists, or just historians etc, have pointed out that the separation of church and state is a Christian meme. Perhaps Tom Holland himself does. I can’t remember. But it would be interesting to know more about that. There are probably some articles on it if anyone wants to start digging and post on it. 
I must admit, I just now even considered the fact that we often have the Ten Commandments in courthouses with the fact that separation of church and state is a Christian meme, which is to say Christianity basically invented and endorsed the idea.

And then one should also consider how Muslims fit in America and its separation of church and state with that in mind. Of course, Islam explicitly rejects the principle of separation of church and state, although that does not mean all or even most American Muslims reject it. Needless to say, most Medieval Christians did not really believe in the separation of church and state. And don’t forget to consider the Reformation and Wars of Religion and Thirty Years’ War of course, not to mention the fact that the Pilgrims were heavily influenced by that. Etc etc. 

All of that and more needs to be considered in order to understand what our founding fathers meant by the famous passage in our Constitution. And note that the New Left thinks our Constitution is racist and wants to get rid of it. 
Yet there is a tradition of Christianity amongst African Americans. 

But there is also a more recent tradition of both atheist and Islamic radical leftwing politics within the African American community as well. It’s a meme (idea) war.
Survival of the fittest. And there’s some overlap between Christian beliefs
(at least for some Christians) and Socialism and Communism of course.

Fake oppressed sanctimonious anger syndrome!!!
Liberalism is a pragmatic ideology. And it shouldn’t control the government.
The idea is that the religion should not control the Government, nor the Government control religion. Not that they had no place in the same society. Oh, and don’t forget that European countries are much more secular and atheistic than us yet they have official state religions. In that case, Europeans’ statist meme is apparently more powerful than their separation of church and state meme. Socio-cultural evolutionary theory is an incredibly effective analytical tool,

Classical Liberals unlike the founding fathers ..,
Today’s liberals would burn everything in an Antifa riot and call it peaceful.
Today’s meaning of separation of church and state is very different from its original intent and is harmful to the long-term viability of the nation. There is no such thing as an actual anarchist, and historically most self-described anarchists were actually anarcho-communists. So, you may want to keep your eye on that. You could see the Libertarian Party leaders and their media demonstrate this after the death of GF. 

They all focused on so-called police brutality and hardly ever criticized BLM.
That’s self-described libertarians becoming communists whether they are conscious of it or not. I suspect most are not conscious of it and just REALLY naïve. You mean like you an libertarianism? Was that principle true during WWII? No. The problem with authentic libertarians is that they are Rousseauians at heart and believe in his myth of the noble savage and don’t realize that government is what enables liberty itself.

There are religions. And there are ideologies. 
Now liberalism is an ideology, but it’s also full of paradoxes and a paradox in itself.
Its ideology is, in a sense, the absence of an ideology. It accepts complexity and nuanced, pragmatic policies that, unlike the ideologies, does not even pretend that they are panaceas and 100% applicable in all cases whatsoever. And that’s also why it leans towards liberty. But libertarians have made an absolute imperative of liberty, which destroys liberty itself. It also, btw, has an paradoxical achilles heel, which Karl Popper identified as a paradox. – Bing video

25 Umberto Eco Quotes to Inspire You to Write Your Own Story (goalcast.com)

Yeah, just in your link above he has a lot of stuff that is very relevant to what’s happening now. I was reading about him on Wikipedia and they mention semiotics and pataphysics… 
I feel like I’m way above my pay grade. Which one is your favorite?   
  
See his quotes.  Name of the Rose is a worthy read.   

Name of the Rose would be good to start with. It’s a mystery set in a medieval monastery. Gripping, I quite like this quote- “People are never so completely and enthusiastically evil as when they act out of religious conviction.” Also, this one- “Because learning does not consist only of knowing what we must or we can do, but also of knowing what we could do and perhaps should not do.” We are formed by little scraps of wisdom” is good too! And the ” fear prophets” quote too. Sure! Glad you liked them. As I said I used to wallow a lot in his books when I was younger and cleverer! “For the enemy to be recognized and feared, he has to be in your home or on your doorstep.” This one is a little close for comfort.

Following the first “unarmed insurrection” in the history of history on January 6th, and the blatant dismissal of anything that so much as innocently questioned the legitimacy of the November 3rd “election” I said no mas.  That propaganda arm of the American far Left was not going to push me around while using me to generate ad revenue for another minute.  “I tend not to imagine nefarious conspiracies in dusty dark corners.
I tend to see ordinary imperfect human beings and ordinary human institutions,
acting too often with greed, fear, and with messy self-interests.
The Deep State is not Democrat or Republican. It doesn’t wear a trench coat, and it doesn’t linger furtively on street corners at midnight in Washington, D.C. In truth, and perhaps most startling, the Deep State doesn’t hide at all.”

Has anyone heard of a political ideology called “Traditionalism”?
With midterm upon us, candidates and pollsters are increasingly focused on how voters could impact the future political landscape of the United States. The House of Representatives, which is currently controlled by Republicans, could shift in favor of Democrats. This means that people are paying more attention to how liberals across the country will vote in November.
In particular, analysts are turning their attention toward metropolitan areas that Republicans in Congress currently represent, including California’s Orange County as well as Chicago, Denver, Philadelphia, Miami, New York, and Minneapolis. These seats are considered to be vulnerable, and increased voter turnout could easily decide an election winner.

Using Gallup data, Stacker ranked each state first by the percentage of residents who identify as liberals and then by the percentage of residents who consider themselves to be liberal-leaning. If both percentages were the same for more than one state, that ranking was considered to be tied, and is noted as such.
Nationally, 24% of Americans identify as liberals, while 33% of Americans identify as conservatives and 36% identify as moderates. Read on to find out which states are most likely to house a Democratic voter—and which states are the ones to watch on Nov. 6.

IMHO, after looking at many of the results I am amazed at people’s stupidity. 
Apparently life in Democrat controlled states just has not gotten bad or painful enough for their residents yet. Well, the destruction of the Republic will only speed up. Get ready. Until more people wake up to this third world reality that we’re having stolen elections, the sentiment will be that “it hasn’t gotten that bad for them”. Or that the under 30 are that dumb. While that can be true for some, I don’t believe it’s what we’re seeing. It hasn’t gotten that bad for any of us to actually fix this election issue. No red tsunami. Perhaps a red ripple with their RINOs.

Science is a basic part of my professional life, though it is applied science (I am an engineer by training), though what is put forth as science today often lacks the rigors of peer review. And even with past science which has been peer reviewed, there is always a possibility of discoveries which may extend or negate things we have accepted with the knowledge of the past. It is what keeps science interesting. I don’t have a problem with vaccines, per say, but some of the past constituents used as carriers or preservatives are worrisome, as a layman.

Health & Nutrition Tips

Posted on November 4, 2022 by Ken
27 Health and Nutrition Tips That Are Actually Evidence-Based.

61% of grocery store purchases in the US are highly processed foods.
By Dr. Casey’s Kitchen 

“Highly processed” foods and beverages are multi-ingredient industrially formulated mixtures processed to the extent that they are no longer recognizable as their original plant or animal source.

High consumption of highly processed foods increase risk for disease and premature mortality. By a lot. Several studies have showed that people who eat the most highly processed foods have higher risk for cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, depression, and all-cause mortality.

Remember, food serves two main purposes. It is the building block of every part of your cells and body, and we need good building blocks to have a structurally and functionally sound body. Second, food is molecular information that tells your body what to do (changing gene expression, being part of cell signaling pathways, triggering hormones, etc).

The problem with ultra-processed foods/highly processed foods is that during processing, they often reduce the beneficial, health promoting properties of the food (like vitamins and fiber), concentrate the more damaging parts of the food (like refined sugar), damage the structure of compounds in the food make them disease-promoting (like oxidized fats), and add in stabilizers, preservatives, and artificial synthetic chemicals to make them more “palatable” and shelf-stable. What this means is that the food isn’t really serving your health as a good building block for the body and is not good molecular information for your body to know how to function properly.

Eat real, unprocessed or minimally processed foods is one of the best things we can do to live a healthy and happy life. This means foods that are whole in the sense that they have not been stripped of any part of them.

It’s easy to get confused when it comes to health and nutrition. Even qualified experts often seem to hold opposing opinions, which can make it difficult to figure out what you should actually be doing to optimize your health. Yet, despite all the disagreements, a number of wellness tips are well supported by research.

Here are 27 health and nutrition tips that are based on scientific evidence. 

1. Limit sugary drinks
Sugary drinks like sodas, fruit juices, and sweetened teas are the primary source of added sugar in the American diet (1Trusted Source).
Unfortunately, findings from several studies point to sugar-sweetened beverages increasing risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, even in people who are not carrying excess body fat (2Trusted Source).
Sugar-sweetened beverages are also uniquely harmful for children, as they can contribute not only to obesity in children but also to conditions that usually do not develop until adulthood, like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source).

Healthier alternatives include:
Alkaline water
unsweetened teas
sparkling water
coffee

2. Eat nuts and seeds
Some people avoid nuts because they are high in fat. However, nuts and seeds are incredibly nutritious. They are packed with protein, fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).
Nuts may help you lose weight and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease (8Trusted Source).
Additionally, one large observational study noted that a low intake of nuts and seeds was potentially linked to an increased risk of death from heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes (9Trusted Source).

3. Avoid ultra-processed foods
Ultra-processed foods are foods containing ingredients that are significantly modified from their original form. They often contain additives like added sugar, highly refined oil, salt, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors as well (10Trusted Source).  
50 Jaw Droppingly Toxic Food Ingredients & Artificial Additives to Avoid | MPHProgramsList.com 2022
Food Additive Status List | FDA

Examples include:
snack cakes
fast food
frozen meals
canned foods
chips

Ultra-processed foods are highly palatable, meaning they are easily overeaten, and activate reward-related regions in the brain, which can lead to excess calorie consumption and weight gain. Studies show that diets high in ultra-processed food can contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions (11Trusted Source, 12Trusted Source, 13Trusted Source, 14Trusted Source, 15Trusted Source).
In addition to low quality ingredients like inflammatory fats, added sugar, and refined grains, they’re usually low in fiber, protein, and micronutrients. Thus, they provide mostly empty calories. 

4. Don’t fear coffee
Despite some controversy over it, coffee is loaded with health benefits.
Coco Beans are rich in antioxidants, and some studies have linked coffee intake to longevity and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, and numerous other illnesses (16Trusted Source, 17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source).
The most beneficial intake amount appears to be 3–4 cups per day, although pregnant people should limit or avoid it completely because it has been linked to low birth weight (18Trusted Source).
However, it’s best to consume coffee and any caffeine-based items in moderation. Excessive caffeine intake may lead to health issues like insomnia and heart palpitations. To enjoy coffee in a safe and healthy way, keep your intake to less than 4 cups per day and avoid high-calorie, high-sugar additives like sweetened creamer.

5. Eat fatty fish
Fish is a great source of high-quality protein and healthy fat. This is particularly true of fatty fish, such as salmon, which is loaded with anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and various other nutrients (20Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source).
Studies show that people who eat fish regularly have a lower risk for several conditions, including heart disease, dementia, and inflammatory bowel disease (22Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source, 24Trusted Source). 
 
6. Get enough sleep
The importance of getting enough quality sleep cannot be overstated.
Poor sleep can drive insulin resistance, can disrupt your appetite hormones, and reduce your physical and mental performance (25Trusted Source, 26Trusted Source, 27Trusted Source).
What’s more, poor sleep is one of the strongest individual risk factors for weight gain and obesity. People who do not get enough sleep tend to make food choices that are higher in fat, sugar, and calories, potentially leading to unwanted weight gain (28Trusted Source, 29Trusted Source).

7. Feed your gut bacteria
The bacteria in your gut, collectively called the gut microbiota, are incredibly important for overall health.
A disruption in gut bacteria is linked to some chronic diseases, including obesity and a myriad of digestive problems (30Trusted Source, 31Trusted Source).
Good ways to improve gut health include eating probiotic foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, taking probiotic supplements — when indicated — and eating plenty of fiber. Notably, fiber serves as a prebiotic, or a food source for your gut bacteria (32Trusted Source, 33Trusted Source).

8. Stay hydrated
Hydration is an important and often overlooked marker of health. Staying hydrated helps ensure that your body is functioning optimally and that your blood volume is sufficient (34Trusted Source).
Drinking water is the best way to stay hydrated, as it’s free of calories, sugar, and additives.
Although there’s no set amount that everyone needs per day, aim to drink enough so that your thirst is adequately quenched (35Trusted Source).

9. Don’t eat heavily charred meats
Meat can be a nutritious and healthy part of your diet.
It’s very high in protein and a rich source of nutrients (36Trusted Source).
However, problems occur when meat is charred or burnt. This charing can lead to the formation of harmful compounds that may increase your risk for certain cancers (37Trusted Source).
When you cook meat, try not to char or burn it. Additionally limit your consumption of red and processed meats like lunch meats and bacon as these are linked to overall cancer risk and colon cancer risk (38Trusted Source, 39Trusted Source, 40Trusted Source, 41Trusted Source).

10. Avoid bright lights before sleep
When you’re exposed to bright lights — which contain blue light wavelengths — in the evening, it may disrupt your production of the sleep hormone melatonin (42Trusted Source).
Some ways to help reduce your blue light exposure is to wear blue light blocking glasses — especially if you use a computer or other digital screen for long periods of time — and to avoid digital screens for 30 minutes to an hour before going to bed (43Trusted Source).
This can help your body better produce melatonin naturally as evening progresses, helping you sleep better.

11. Take vitamin D if you’re deficient
Most people do not get enough vitamin D. While these widespread vitamin D inadequacies are not imminently harmful, maintaining adequate vitamin D levels can help to optimize your health by improving bone strength, reducing symptoms of depression, strengthening your immune system, and lowering your risk for cancer (44Trusted Source, 45Trusted Source, 46Trusted Source, 47Trusted Source).
If you do not spend a lot of time in the sunlight, your vitamin D levels may be low.
If you have access, it’s a great idea to have your levels tested, so that you can correct your levels through vitamin D supplementation if necessary.

12. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
Vegetables and fruits are loaded with prebiotic fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, many of which have potent health effects.
Studies show that people who eat more vegetables and fruits tend to live longer and have a lower risk for heart disease, obesity, and other illnesses (48Trusted Source, 49Trusted Source).

13. Eat adequate protein
Eating enough protein is vital for optimal health, as it provides the raw materials your body needs to create new cells and tissues (50Trusted Source).
What’s more, this nutrient is particularly important for maintenance of a moderate body weight.
High protein intake may boost your metabolic rate — or calorie burn — while making you feel full. It may also reduce cravings and your desire to snack late at night (51Trusted Source, 52Trusted Source).

14. Get moving
Doing aerobic exercise, or cardio, is one of the best things you can do for your mental and physical health.
It’s particularly effective at reducing belly fat, the harmful type of fat that builds up around your organs. Reduced belly fat may lead to major improvements in your metabolic health (53Trusted Source).
According to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, we should strive for at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity each week (54Trusted Source).

15. Don’t smoke or use drugs, and only drink in moderation
Smoking, harmful use of drugs, and alcohol abuse can all seriously negatively affect your health.
If you do any of these actions, consider cutting back or quitting to help reduce your risk for chronic diseases.
There are resources available online — and likely in your local community, as well — to help with this. Talk with your doctor to learn more about accessing resources.

16. Use extra virgin olive oil
Extra virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest vegetable oils you can use. It’s loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and powerful antioxidants that have anti-inflammatory properties (55Trusted Source, 56Trusted Source).
Extra virgin olive oil may benefit heart health, as people who consume it have a lower risk for dying from heart attacks and strokes according to some evidence (57Trusted Source).

17. Minimize your sugar intake
Added sugar is extremely prevalent in modern food and drinks. A high intake is linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease (1Trusted Source, 2Trusted Source, 58Trusted Source).
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping added sugar intake below 10% of your daily calorie intake, while the World Health Organization recommends slashing added sugars to 5% or less of your daily calories for optimal health (59Trusted Source, 60Trusted Source).

18. Limit refined carbs
Not all carbs are created equal.
Refined carbs have been highly processed to remove their fiber. They’re relatively low in nutrients and may harm your health when eaten in excess. Most ultra-processed foods are made from refined carbs, like processed corn, white flour, and added sugars.
Studies show that a diet high in refined carbs may be linked to overeating, weight gain, and chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease (61Trusted Source, 62Trusted Source, 63Trusted Source, 64Trusted Source).

19. Lift heavy weights
Strength and resistance training are some of the best forms of exercises you can do to strengthen your muscles and improve your body composition.
It may also lead to important improvements in metabolic health, including improved insulin sensitivity — meaning your blood sugar levels are easier to manage — and increases in your metabolic rate, or how many calories you burn at rest (65Trusted Source, 66Trusted Source).
If you do not have weights, you can use your own bodyweight or resistance bands to create resistance and get a comparable workout with many of the same benefits.
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends resistance training twice per week (67Trusted Source).

20. Avoid artificial trans fats
Artificial trans fats are harmful, man-made fats that are strongly linked to inflammation and heart disease (68Trusted Source).
Avoiding them should be much easier now that they have been completely banned in the United States and many other countries. Note that you may still encounter some foods that contain small amounts of naturally occurring trans fats, but these are not associated with the same negative effects as artificial trans fats (69Trusted Source).

21. Use plenty of herbs and spices
There is a variety of herbs and spices at our disposal these days, more so than ever.
They not only provide flavor but also may offer several health benefits as well (70Trusted Source).
For example, ginger and turmeric both have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which may help improve your overall health (71Trusted Source, 72Trusted Source).
Due to their powerful potential health benefits, you should aim to include a wide variety of herbs and spices in your diet.

22. Nurture your social relationships
Social relationships — with friends, family, and loved ones you care about — are important not only for your mental well-being but also your physical health.
Studies show that people who have close friends and family are healthier and live much longer than those who do not (73Trusted Source, 74Trusted Source).

23. Occasionally track your food intake
The only way to know exactly how many calories you eat is to weigh your food and use a nutrition tracker, as estimating your portion sizes and calorie intake is not unreliable (75Trusted Source, 76Trusted Source).
Tracking can also provide insights into your protein, fiber, and micronutrient intake. (It’s important after 60 years of age to get enough protein.)
Though some studies have found a link between tracking calories and disordered eating tendencies, there is some evidence that suggests that people who track their food intake tend to be more successful at losing weight and maintaining their weight loss (74Trusted Source, 77Trusted Source, 78Trusted Source, 79Trusted Source).

24. Get rid of excess belly fat
Excessive abdominal fat, or visceral fat, is a uniquely harmful type of fat distribution that is linked to an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease (80Trusted Source).
For this reason, your waist size and waist-to-hip ratio may be much stronger markers of health than your weight.
Cutting refined carbs, eating more protein and fiber, and reducing stress (which can reduce cortisol, a stress hormone that triggers abdominal fat deposition) are all strategies that may help you get rid of belly fat (81Trusted Source, 82Trusted Source, 83Trusted Source, 84Trusted Source).

25. Avoid restrictive diets
Diets are generally ineffective and rarely work well long term. In fact, past dieting is one of the strongest predictors for future weight gain (85Trusted Source).
This is because overly restrictive diets actually lower your metabolic rate, or the amount of calories you burn, making it more difficult to lose weight. At the same time, they also cause alterations to your hunger and satiety hormones, which make you hungrier and may cause strong food cravings for foods high in fat, calories, and sugar (86Trusted Source, 87Trusted Source).
All of this is a recipe for rebound weight gain, or “yoyo” dieting.
Instead of dieting, try adopting a healthier lifestyle.
Focus on nourishing your body instead of depriving it.
Weight loss should follow as you transition to whole, nutritious foods — which are naturally more filling while containing fewer calories than processed foods (14Trusted Source).

26. Eat whole eggs
Despite the constant back and forth about eggs and health, it’s a myth that eggs are bad for you because of their cholesterol content. Studies show that they have minimal effect on blood cholesterol in the majority of people, and they’re a great source of protein and nutrients (87Trusted Source, 88Trusted Source).
Additionally, a review involving 263,938 people found that egg intake had no association with heart disease risk (88Trusted Source).

27. Meditate
Stress has a negative effect on your health. It can affect your blood sugar levels, food choices, susceptibility to sickness, weight, fat distribution, and more. For this reason, it’s important to find healthy ways to manage your stress.
Meditation, Journaling, Cross Word or Word Search Puzzling, Board Games are such ways to slow down the progression of Disease, and it has some scientific evidence to support its use for stress management and improving health (89Trusted Source, 90Trusted Source).
In one study involving 48 people with high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or both, researchers found that meditation helped lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and inflammation compared with the control group. Additionally, the participants in the meditation group reported improved mental and physical wellness (91Trusted Source).

The bottom line
A few simple steps can go a long way toward improving your eating patterns and wellness.
Still, if you’re trying to live a healthier life, do not just focus on the foods you eat. Exercise, sleep, and social relationships are also important.
With the evidence-based tips above, it’s easy to introduce small changes that can have a big impact on your overall health.

Just one thing
Try this today: There are lots of suggestions on this list that can help you improve your health, but it’s best to put just one or two into practice at a time so you do not get burned out. As more of these healthy actions become habits, you can add more into your routine. health tips – Bing video

Copper And Alzheimer

Posted on November 3, 2022 by Ken
Some troubling new findings indicate copper found in our drinking water and in the 
produce aisle may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more. – Search (bing.com)

COPPER MAY PLAY A ROLE IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

COVID, Cognition, New Book by 
Dale Bredesen, MD

The scientific community is divided on the question of whether copper — found in red meat, vegetables, dairy products as well as pipes that carry drinking water in much of the developed world — causes or prevents Alzheimer’s disease. For the latest study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers looked at how copper in the capillaries may cause a breakdown in the blood-brain barrier, leading to a buildup of the protein amyloid beta, or plaques that are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s. 

According to lead author Rashid Deane, a research professor at the University of Rochester Medical Center, experiments using mice and human cells showed that low levels of copper delivered via drinking water accumulated in the capillary walls that feed blood to the brain. “These are very low levels of copper, equivalent to what people would consume in a normal diet,” said Deane.
The copper caused oxidation which interfered with another protein, called lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), that would normally clear amyloid beta from the brain, his study said. Not only did copper appear to prevent the clearance of plaque that is believed to be a prime culprit in Alzheimer’s, it also stimulated neurons to produce more amyloid beta.

Researchers described their findings in a press release as a “one-two punch” that “provides strong evidence that copper is a key player in Alzheimer’s disease.”  “Copper is an essential metal and it is clear that these effects are due to exposure over a long period of time,” said Deane in a statement. “The key will be striking the right balance between too little and too much copper consumption. Right now we cannot say what the right level will be, but diet may ultimately play an important role in regulating this process.” 
However, other experts who have studied copper and Alzheimer’s questioned the paper’s findings. “Research including our own shows the opposite, that copper prevents amyloid from forming the type of structures seen in the plaques,” said Christopher Exley, professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry at Keele University in Staffordshire. Exley and colleagues recently published their latest paper on the topic in the British journal Nature in February.

“As a group we would be thinking, based on everything that we know — and our research has been done with human brains and brain tissues — that if anything, copper would be protective against Alzheimer’s.” Exley said a “number of things” in the PNAS paper raised red flags, such as the way they measured the copper amounts and the fact that they used animal models which do not always translate directly to humans.
“You do need a significant amount of tissue to produce results that you have a high level of confidence in. A mouse capillary — these are very, very, very small things,” Exley told AFP.  “The amount of copper which they are talking about as being possibly proactive is normal,” he added. “If you took this paper at absolute face value, it is telling everybody that we are all suffering from the effects that this paper is documenting right now because we are all exposed to this amount of copper.”

Professor George Brewer – How to Avoid Alzheimer’s Disease • scientia.global
Another outside researcher, George Brewer, emeritus professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan medical school, said the “authors miss an important point about copper toxicity to the brain.” “They don’t differentiate copper delivered in drinking water, as they delivered it in their study, from copper in food,” Brewer said in an email to AFP. “We have always had copper in food, so it couldn’t possibly be the cause of this new AD epidemic,” he said. “If they had added this trace amount of copper to food, rather than putting it in drinking water, it would have had no effect.”

Do metals in our environment play a role in Alzheimer’s disease?

A new study found that copper, found in drinking water carried by copper pipes and in foods like red meats, shellfish, nuts and many fruits and vegetables, may play a role in promoting the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s. The findings are the latest to explore the possible role between metals like copper, iron and zinc and Alzheimer’s disease. But the relationship between metals and brain health is complex.

Copper, like many metals, plays a critical role in health.
Along with iron, copper helps transport oxygen through the body. Copper also plays an important role in the communication between nerve cells, bone growth and hormone secretion, so it is important to get enough of the metal in your diet. But the new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), found that copper also may prevent the clearance of beta-amyloid, a protein that builds up in the brains of those with Alzheimer’s.

“It is clear that, over time, copper’s cumulative effect is to impair the systems by which beta-amyloid is removed from the brain,” said the study’s lead author, Professor Rashid Deane, Cooper impaired brain a research professor at the University of Rochester Medical Center Department of Neurosurgery. “This impairment is one of the key factors that cause the protein to accumulate in the brain and form the plaques that are the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.”
This is an interesting and potentially important study. However, it is unclear as to whether dietary copper — too much or too little — affects Alzheimer’s risk in humans and whether manipulation of dietary copper could prevent Alzheimer’s disease. 

Over a three-month period, the researchers fed mice “very low levels of copper, equivalent to what people would consume in a normal diet,” said Dr. Deane. They found that the copper made its way into the blood system and accumulated in the vessels that feed blood to the brain. There, the copper interferes with the enzyme that normally breaks down beta-amyloid in the brain. They also observed that in both mouse and human brain cells, copper stimulated activity in brain cells that increased the production of beta-amyloid, and promoted inflammation, which has also been linked to Alzheimer’s.
Because metals like copper are essential to so many other functions in the body, however, the researchers advise that these results must be interpreted with caution and that people must be careful not to eliminate copper from the diet.

“Copper is an essential metal, and it is clear that these effects are due to exposure over a long period of time,” said Dr. Deane. “The key will be striking the right balance between too little and too much copper consumption. Right now we cannot say what the right level will be, but diet may ultimately play an important role in regulating this process.” This is an interesting speculation, but it remains unclear as to whether “balancing” dietary copper consumption will be important in preventing dementia.
Indeed, earlier studies have found that too little copper may be harmful to the brain. 
Research conducted at Keele University in the U.K. has found that copper, at healthy levels, may prevent beta-amyloid from forming senile plaques in the brain.

Other researchers have reported that a deficiency of zinc, a metal that helps make DNA and plays a role in short-term memory and learning, may likewise lead to cognitive problems. People with Alzheimer’s disease often have lower zinc levels than their peers, and some small studies have found that zinc supplements may improve brain function. Zinc is also thought to help keep copper levels at a healthy level. Similarly, some research has found that an excess of iron can be toxic to the brain. But too little iron can lead to anemia, which has been tied to an increased risk of dementia.
Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s, and most experts now believe that aluminum does not play a role in the disease.

More research is needed to explore the potential connections between metals and brain health. At this point, experts cannot deliver specific recommendations regarding measures to avoid getting too much – or too little – of metals in our diets in order to avoid Alzheimer’s disease. During the 1960s and 1970s, for example, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s disease. Many cautioned about exposure to aluminum through pots and pans, foil wrap and antiperspirants.

Alzheimer’s Disease Risk ‘Linked To Copper-Rich Diet’, But Little Can Be Done About It

PA/The Huffington Post UK

20/08/2013 06:42am BST

Summation: 
Copper could be a major environmental culprit in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, research suggests. Scientists found strong evidence that copper helps to promote the changes in the brain underlying Alzheimer’s. But they say there is little that can be done about it because copper is so abundant in the diet and also vital to health.

Copper exposure could speed up the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
The metal, found in food and drinking water, plays important roles in nerve function, bone growth, the formation of connective tissue, and hormone secretion. Researchers in the US conducted a series of experiments on mice given trace amounts of copper in their drinking water.

In human terms the doses were equivalent to the amount of copper people consume in a normal diet, and about a tenth of what is allowed under US water quality standards. The study showed that copper accumulating in the brain disrupted the natural removal of toxic amyloid beta protein, which is strongly implicated in Alzheimer’s.

Copper also directly stimulated neurons that increased the production of amyloid beta, and caused the proteins to clog together in lumps that could not be cleared. Mice with Alzheimer’s disease had “leaky” brains that allowed the metal to enter them more freely. The findings, reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggested a “one-two punch” both creating more amyloid beta and preventing its removal, said the scientists.

“It is clear that, over time, copper’s cumulative effect is to impair the systems by which amyloid beta is removed from the brain,” said study leader Professor Rashid Deane, Cooper impaired brain from the University of Rochester Medical Centre in New York.

“This impairment is one of the key factors that cause the protein to accumulate in the brain and form the plaques that are the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.” Since copper was so essential to the body, the findings had to be treated with caution, he added. “Copper is an essential metal and it is clear that these effects are due to exposure over a long period of time,” said Prof Deane. “The key will be striking the right balance between too little and too much copper consumption. “Right now, we cannot say what the right level will be, but diet may ultimately play an important role in regulating this process.”

Previous studies also suggested a link between aluminium and Alzheimer’s, but the results have been inconclusive.
Dr Doug Brown, director of research and development at the Alzheimer’s Society, said: “It’s well known that clusters of amyloid betas are a major indicator of Alzheimer’s disease however we don’t know why they accumulate in this way.

“This study has found interesting new routes by which they may build up, however this is early research and it’s not yet clear how this might affect the disease process in people. Considering copper is a vital mineral for the body, people should treat these results with caution and not cut it out of their diet.

“More research is needed to understand the role that copper might play in the brain.”

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting about 62% of the UK’s 800,000 sufferers.

The number of people with dementia in the UK is expected to top one million by 2021.

Dr Eric Karran, from Alzheimer’s Research UK, said the charity was currently funding a new study tracking copper in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

He said: “We still need to understand more about how amyloid contributes to brain health both in Alzheimer’s and in normal aging. While the findings present clues to how copper could contribute to features of Alzheimer’s in mice, the results will need replicating in further studies. It is too early to know how normal exposure to copper could be influencing the development or progression of Alzheimer’s in people.

“It is important to remember that copper is a vital part of our diet and plays a role in many essential biological processes in the body. It will be necessary to look in more detail at how copper intake throughout life could influence brain function as we age and during Alzheimer’s, but this requires further investment in research.”

Neuroinflammation and Copper in Alzheimer’s Disease
Xin Yi Choo, Lobna Alukaidey, +1 author A. Grubman
 Published 28 November 2013 

Biology International Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease
Inflammation is the innate immune response to infection or tissue damage. Initiation of proinflammatory cascades in the central nervous system (CNS) occurs through recognition of danger associated with molecular patterns by cognate immune receptors expressed on inflammatory cells and leads to rapid responses to remove the danger stimulus. The presence of activated microglia and astrocytes in the vicinity of amyloid plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and mouse models implicates inflammation as a contributor to AD pathogenesis. 

Activated microglia play a critical role in amyloid clearance, but chronic deregulation of CNS inflammatory pathways results in secretion of neurotoxic mediators that ultimately contribute to neurodegeneration in AD. Copper (Cu) homeostasis is profoundly affected in AD, and accumulated extracellular Cu drives Aβ aggregation, while intracellular Cu deficiency limits bioavailable Cu required for CNS functions. This review presents an overview of inflammatory events that occur in AD in response to Aβ and highlights recent advances on the role of Cu in modulation of beneficial and detrimental inflammatory responses in AD.

If I could come up with 3 simple tips to help you improve your health, it would be these 3: by fitfuelnutritionllc 
1. Consume ONE WORD foods and drinks. My dinner here is mahi mahi, zucchini, and squash. There really isn’t an ingredient label for this. When I say ONE-word foods, I don’t mean bread, soda, or cereal. If you look at the label of foods like this, there are many ingredients that you probably don’t recognize and can’t pronounce. Ingredients you don’t recognize are most likely going to create inflammation and chronic pain/disease in your body. Look for foods that don’t have a label. To piggyback on that, “season, don’t sauce!” 😉

2. Move. Make time for yourself to fit in some sort of activity each day. Stop making excuses and swap your 10-minute Instagram or chit chat break at work with a walk outside or a series of air squats, push-ups, and plank holds at your desk. You don’t even need a gym membership or a full hour. Do this 3x day and now you’ve completed a 30-minute workout!

3. Sleep. Without adequate sleep, your body can’t recover efficiently, and you’ll never get the results you want. Try backing up your bedtime by 20 minutes this week.

Prioritizing time to meal prep, exercise, and sleep is not selfish…it’s self-care!

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday!

New World Order

Posted on November 2, 2022 by Ken
It’s game over, when will you people wake up and realize America will fall in 7 days,

ARE YOU READY? 1 >> Mind Twister. Congress it’s 52% / 48% DEMS with 30% RINOS in GOP = 30% x 48% = 14.4% so really, it’s: 66.4% (DEMS + RINOS) / 33.6 % REAL REPUBLICANS 2 >> SENATE 50 /50 (ignore VP for now) 20% = RINOS really, Senate is: 70% DEMS + RINOS / 30% REAL REPUBLICANS 3 >> We need GOP MAGA to win at least 25%+ difference in elections and considering some that are running like KEMP, GOP RINOs are Rinos… You need 30%!!! MINIMUM spread 4 GOP MAGA wins!

If the democrats win complete control after the midterms, the WEF will initiate the
NWO which will officially become reality and there’s nothing else we can do to fight back.
Just glad people are starting to finally realize the truth and Trump is absolutely delusional in thinking we can take the country back from the globalists. Don’t bother going to vote either, we all know there’s no point anymore in doing so. As the bad guys will just steal it again with the same machines as they did in 2020 by either using early voting or sending out enough mail-in ballots to help them cheat more so doing shit like this is absolutely pointless,

I mean look at what just happened in Brazil!!

Either Brazilian voters are schizophrenic or something is VERY wrong with Brazil’s electronic voting machines! While several candidates supporting President Bolsonaro won for the positions of governors and senators, in these same regions, the corrupt candidate Lula won for president. This means that the voter voted for president for the communist candidate, but for the lesser positions, he voted against the communists. The numbers don’t add up, and we need urgent military intervention.

Elections in Brazil: Vote numbers don’t add up!

These democrats are destroying the USA, you cannot stop a primary energy source of a country with no plan for a backup. Everyone you speak to wants clean energy and we have that here and why not talk about propane, it’s cheap and what about nuclear? Also, a good prospect but stopping the oil production has been a disaster Dr. Oz is a good choice Republicans have a great plan! vote for Doug Mastranio as well. He even wants to build refineries! Looks promising for PA Energy jobs are dangerous (digging, drilling, fracking, facing cave-ins, unsteady grounds, serious accidental mistakes, inhaling an invisible smell of gas, pulverized coal or sands, sulfuric acid and so on).

This is why they need to get paid MORE.

People need jobs, period, and not just rich people. All people need to work and be responsible. Able bodied people go to work. You don’t get to pick and choose; you have to gain experience. work ethic, and tolerance. That day will come on November 8th when the voters fire the Communists masquerading as “democrats” who have intentionally all but killed the Energy Industry that has been the catalyst in their plan to destroy the Nation’s Economy through their corrupt and failed Socialist Agenda!

Common Sense.
Only the Demon-rats could subject PA citizens to this abomination! Wake up PA voters! John Fetterman who is a symbol of the cancerous rot that infects our nation. A trust fund baby, living off of his parents that never had a job in his entire life! A self-entitled fool that never had a reason to grow up and still believes in the fictional fantasy of communism which has never worked in the history of mankind. His beliefs are the extreme of the extreme far left radicals. He is an embarrassment!

Additionally, due to medical issues related to the poisonous jab, the man/woman cannot even process language without using a translator!
Wake up PA voters, the fact that this is the best the Demon-rats have to offer in a critical swing state should tell you all you need to know!

We need to kill Biden’s notion to end fossil fuels.

It is stupid, but watching Republicans take 2 years without going to court is the dam nest thing we can’t get over!
Fossil fuels will provide those jobs. Green fueled energy will only create millions of jobs in China. This is where all solar panels & wind turbines will ultimately be produced because of costs & slave labor. Mastriano has a plan, Shapiro doesn’t. He’s too worried about suing nuns, for boys in girls’ bathrooms and will no doubt want mandated vaccines. Don’t do it PA. Don’t vote for Shapiro in, you’ll regret it and it’ll be TOO late!

At least 70 commies in Congress voters are so dumb it makes me sick.

Define “high paying jobs”?
Are you talking about union jobs?
Jobs that require advanced education such as engineers?

The Marcellus Shale and Point Pleasant-Utica Shale formations contain an estimated mean of 214 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered, technically recoverable continuous resources of natural gas, according to USGS assessments,

States just need to drill anyway.
Under protecting Constitution, and protecting national security as this administration has done, stopping drilling with a war on fossil fuels, going to terrorist, communist, countries that allow for abuse of women to seek oil. When can be energy dependent. Making citizens suffer with inflation, war on gas long before Putin…day 1 he stopped Keystone. Wants gas prices so high to mandate electricity. Destroying supply and demand through negligence. A real leader would mobilize our country to create a supply demand chain, energy independent…not sell reserves to China.

(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz

answered questions concerning Latino business owners in a town hall on Friday, a day after his opponent did likewise.
The forum, hosted by Javier Palomarez, president of the U.S. Hispanic Business Council had Oz pitching himself as a candidate for bipartisanship, one who would champion Pennsylvania’s energy industry while cutting red tape for business owners across the commonwealth.

Oz is facing Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who spoke to the group Thursday. Election Day is Nov. 8.
“You gotta be able to work with people across the aisle from you,” Oz said.
“There’s so much more that unites us than divides us. 
“We have so many opportunities in Pennsylvania that are right beneath our feet here.
If you want to protect the environment and grow the economy and protect wage earners, then you want to harvest the energy … we have enough natural gas, as an example, to power the whole country for hundreds of years.”

The point echoed a similar argument he made during Tuesday’s Senate debate, as The Center Square previously reported. Oz, similar to Fetterman, has been light on policy details for how he plans to boost Pennsylvania’s economy, but he’s cited the potential of natural gas production to kickstart economic growth across the commonwealth.
“If we can get energy out of the ground, it creates jobs and money flow at several levels,” he said. 

In places like Allentown, Oz said, “they have the future right there, they can see it, but they just feel held back. And I want to unleash not just energy but the people of Pennsylvania to once again know that to move up, you don’t have to move out.” He continued his theme of talking about the possibilities that remain within the state to improve people’s lives.

“I’m actually optimistic about Pennsylvania because we have so many untapped opportunities just by dealing with regulatory overreach and some of the taxes that are quite onerous in the state,” Oz said. “I think we’ll be able to lighten the load for job creators and, by doing that, create more opportunities for young people to stay here.” 

Closely tied to his economic vision was his attitude toward immigration. In the past, Oz said, there was “a very clear vision by America of what it wanted in its immigrants. They wanted people who were hard-working and industrious; sometimes they were educated, sometimes not. We need to return to a thoughtful approach to making sure that the jobs that need to be filled are being filled.”  

In his closing remarks, Oz echoed his talking point from Tuesday.
“It’s really critical to ask one key question,” he said,
“Are you happy with where the country is headed? 
If people are not, then they know I’m the person for change.”

Cancer Jab Deaths

Posted on November 1, 2022 by Ken
Is THE CDC hiding data showing cancer deaths linked to C0VlD V@cc!nes?
 
Analysis of the U.S. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report data suggests it may be so. 
 
It appears they’ve been filtering and redesignating cancer deaths as C0VlD-19 deaths
since April 2021, to eliminate the red flags pointing to the j@b. The truth is being hidden
by swapping the underlying cause of death with the main cause of death.
 
After the rollout of the C0VlD-19 jabs in 2021, cancer patients have gotten younger, with the largest increase occurring among 30- to 50-year-olds. Tumor sizes are dramatically larger, multiple tumors in multiple organs are becoming more common, and recurrence and metastasis are increasing.
 
There’s no time to play the risk game and let them have a chance at destroying people’s lives any further.

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Analysis of U.S. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) data suggests
the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been filtering and redesignating cancer deaths as COVID deaths since April 2021 to eliminate the cancer signal
The signal is being hidden by swapping the underlying cause of death with main cause of death
Uncontrollable turbo-charged cancers the medical establishment had never seen before only started to occur after the rollout of the COVID jabs
Before it was manipulated to eliminate the safety signal, data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) showed cancer rates among military personnel and their families tripled after the rollout of the shots
After the rollout of the COVID jabs in 2021, cancer patients have gotten younger, with the largest increase occurring among 30- to 50-year-olds, tumor sizes are dramatically larger, multiple tumors in multiple organs are becoming more common, and recurrence and metastasis are increasing

In a series of Twitter posts,
The Ethical Skeptic — self-described as a former intelligence officer and strategist — has laid out a series of charts illustrating how cancer deaths are being mislabeled as COVID deaths.
The suspicion is that this is an effort to hide the fact that the COVID shots have resulted in soaring cancer rates. The Ethical Skeptic also takes a deep dive into the data in  Houston, We Have a Problem (Part 1 of 3) | The Ethical Skeptic
As noted in his article, seven out of the 11 International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes tracked by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics — including cancer — saw sharp upticks starting in the first week of April 2021. 
 “This date of inception is no coincidence; in that it also happens to coincide with
a key inflection points regarding a specific body-system intervention in most of the U.S. population,” The Ethical Skeptic notes.2 In other words, April 2021 was when large swaths of the American population were getting their first COVID jabs.

Cancer Diagnoses on the Rise.
The following graph, highlighted on Dr. Jennifer Brown’s Substack,3 illustrates the cyclical wave pattern of cancer diagnoses, from January 2015 and October 1, 2022. As noted in the top-right text box:
“We should be at or near a seasonal nadir. Instead we are at an all-time CA [cancer] excess, and heading up. Keep in mind there is substantial lag to CA reporting, so this likely under-represents true excess.”
At no point during the past seven years have we seen this rate of new cancer diagnoses. Are the COVID shots to blame? Probably, unless we can identify another widespread environmental factor or exposure that was introduced to the population, en-masse,
in early 2021, that didn’t exist before.


CDC Fudging Death Records to Eliminate Cancer Signal

According to The Ethical Skeptic’s analysis of U.S. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) data, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been filtering and redesignating cancer deaths as COVID deaths since Week 14 of 2021 to eliminate the cancer signal.4    
 The following two charts, posted on Twitter October 1 and 2, 2022, illustrates how
cancer mortality is being artificially suppressed. As explained by The Ethical Skeptic:5,6
“The set dynamics are complex, but the principle is straightforward.
When a death cert lists Cancer as the UCoD [underlying cause of death] and COVID
as MCoD [main cause of death] — the UCoD & MCoD are being swapped, and COVID
is being listed as the UCoD 100% (425/wk).



“This results in 20% of all COVID deaths each week, also happening to be persons dying of Cancer — which is egregiously higher than it should be. This clear over-attribution equates to exactly the difference between the Cancer and All Other ICD-10 code lag curves.” The problem facing the CDC is … What does one do when COVID Mortality is no longer substantial enough to conceal the excess Cancer Mortality?”


So, to rephrase, what The Ethical Skeptic is saying is that 20% of the weekly so-called COVID deaths are actually, cancer deaths, which is rather astounding. But swapping the underlying and main causes of death, listing COVID as the main cause, hides (to some degree) the fact that cancer deaths are going through the roof.
According to his analysis, the COVID shot is killing 7,300 Americans per week. COVID, meanwhile, is killing 1,740 people.7 So, what will the CDC blame when COVID disappears and they can no longer swap the underlying and main cause of death designations?
Department of Defense Data Showed Massive Cancer Rise

 Uncontrollable turbo-charged cancers the medical establishment had never seen before only started to occur after the rollout of the COVID jabs.8 Data from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), exposed by attorney Tom Renz and Sen. Ron Johnson (above), showed cancer rates among military personnel and their families basically tripled after the rollout of the shots.9

As you may recall, within days of the (DMED) data being revealed, the database was taken offline, allegedly to “identify and correct” a supposed data corruption problem, and when it came back, the data had been altered to hide these glaringly obvious safety signals.10
‘Turbo-Cancers’ Emerged After COVID Jab Rollout

— In the video below — 
COVID vaccination and turbo cancer: pathological evidence – Doctors for COVID Ethics (doctors4covidethics.org)
Swedish pathologist, researcher and senior physician at Lund’s University, Dr. Ute Kruger, describes the changes she has personally observed in the wake of the COVID shots. For example, she’s noticed:11,12
Cancer patients are getting younger — The largest increase is among 30- to 50-year-olds
Tumor sizes are dramatically larger — Historically, 3-centimeter tumors were commonly found at the time of cancer diagnosis.
Now, the tumors they’re finding are regularly 4 to 12 centimeters, which suggests
they’re growing at a much faster rate than normal Multiple tumors in multiple organs
are becoming more common.

Recurrence and metastasis are increasing — Kruger points out that many of the cancer patients she’s seeing have been in remission for years, only to suddenly be beset with uncontrollable cancer growth and metastasis shortly after their COVID jab…
These “turbo-cancers,” as Kruger calls them, cannot be explained by delayed cancer screenings due to lockdowns and other COVID restrictions, as those days are long gone. Patients, despite having access to medical screenings as in years past, are showing up with grossly exacerbated tumor growths, and she believes this is because the cancers are being “turbo-charged” by the mRNA jabs.

Dr. Ryan Cole has also discussed the explosion of cancer (see video below).
Dr. Ryan Cole: COVID Vax Damages Your Immune System – The New American
He believes the shots are primarily accelerating already existing cancers, by way of immune dysregulation.13 He noticed that cancers that could normally be controlled and kept in check, giving the patient several years of quality life, once they got the COVID jab, the cancer would suddenly grow out of control and rapidly lead to death. 

 Data Is So Corrupted, Will We Ever Get to the Truth?
The sad reality is that most data sources have at this point been so corrupted, it’s unlikely we’ll ever be able to get the whole truth. The CDC started manipulating the data in 2020 and hasn’t stopped. DMED, which has historically been one of the best and most pristine, has now been modified. Other data sources have suffered the same fate.
It’s beyond egregious, and data modelers like The Ethical Skeptic show just how bad the situation is. The idea that the CDC is massaging statistics to hide clear danger signals is appalling and unethical in the extreme, yet that’s what we’re seeing. The question is, why do they go to such lengths to protect such a lethal product? Your guess is as good as mine.
