That includes familial relationships, personal healthcare, business organizations, government policies, international relations and any other organized relationship that one would like to be stable. <br>\n<br>\nThe coming months and years promise more unpredictability than ever before in our lives. The trick will be to navigate around the rapidly approaching implosions by understanding the emerging new principles that will shape the emerging new world.

Beside his work of teaching practitioners and doing R&D he still runs his holistic medical practice where he applies the principles of the new physics of global scaling.

Create\u00a0Covid-19 for Moderna\u2019s Vaccine Platform \u2013 (Expose News \u2013 October 9, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nIn early 2018, when DARPA outwardly rejected Peter Daszak\u2019s application for $14,209,245 for his project DEFUSE to engineer a human lung airway lining cell-specific furin cleavage site at the S1\/S2 junction (the junction of the 2 parts of the spike protein) where no other SARS related coronavirus has ever had such a site, the US deep state (US intelligence) actually accepted the project and classified it, having instructed DARPA to reject it as a cover story.\u00a0We know this to be true because in late 2019 SARS- CoV-2 and Covid19 appeared with a humanized furin cleavage site in precisely the position that Daszak had proposed and furthermore it took the humanized codon form of CCT CGG CGG GCA CGT coding for the 5 amino acids PRRAR, in a humanised furin cleavage site. This form is unknown in any virus at all. But it is known in cows and humans and many bacteria. Since cows, bacteria and humans cannot infect viruses, nature cannot have put it there. The only way for that coding to get into a virus is by a human being gene splicing it into the viral genome.\u00a0So we know that a human called Peter Daszak proposed the insertion in early 2018. We know that only a human could have achieved it. And we know that said insertion was achieved in late 2019. And we know that said insertion was the only difference between SARS-CoV-2 (causing Covid-19) and the bat coronavirus RaTG13, longer than one Codon (3 bases). And we know that the insertion occurred at the place where Daszak had proposed to insert it. And we know that the insertion was a humanized furin cleavage site as Daszak had proposed. In other words, SARS-CoV-2 was the fulfillment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/peterdaszak.com\/darpa2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">75-page\u00a0project DEFUSE proposal<\/a>. It is clear from the events immediately following the official rejection that the project was funded extremely quickly in a clandestine way and classified. So the US deep state essentially employed Peter Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance to make Covid-19 for US covert operations. It is also apparent that it was funded AND produced in a clandestine way because Peter Daszak arranged for a letter to be written to the Lancet by 27 academics on February19, 2020 calling all scientists who rejected a natural origin for Covid-19 conspiracy theorists. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/05fa197f-59a2-431f-9c55-401a2efc8ef9.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-10-fountain-life-droplets-secret-ingredient.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Water Droplets Hold the Secret Ingredient for Building Life \u2013 (PhysOrg \u2013 October 3, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nPurdue University chemists have uncovered a mechanism for peptide-forming reactions to occur in water\u2014something that has puzzled scientists for decades. “This is essentially the chemistry behind the origin of life,” said Graham Cooks, the Henry Bohn Hass Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry in Purdue’s College of Science.”This is the first demonstration that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides, the building blocks of life, in droplets of pure water.” For decades scientists have theorized that life on Earth began in the oceans. The chemistry, however, remained an enigma. Raw amino acids\u2014something that meteorites delivered to early Earth daily\u2014can react and latch together to form peptides, the building blocks of proteins and, eventually, life. Puzzlingly, the process requires the loss of a water molecule, which seems highly unlikely in a wet, aqueous or oceanic environment. For life to form, it needed water. But it also needed space away from the water. Cooks, an expert in mass spectrometry and early Earth chemistry, and his team have uncovered the answer to the riddle: “Water isn’t wet everywhere.” On the margins, where the water droplet meets the atmosphere, incredibly rapid reactions can take place, transforming abiotic amino acids into the building blocks of life. “The rates of reactions in droplets are anywhere from a hundred to a million times faster than the same chemicals reacting in bulk solution,” Cooks said. The rates of these reactions make catalysts unnecessary, speeding up the reactions and, in the case of early Earth chemistry, making the evolution of life possible. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencealert.com\/the-cerebellum-has-a-function-we-didnt-even-know-about-new-research-reveals\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cerebellum Has a Function We Didn’t Even Know About, New Research Reveals \u2013 (Science Alert \u2013 October 9, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nAlready known as being important for properly controlling our movements, it now appears that this brain region also has a key role to play when it comes to remembering positive and negative emotional experiences. These types of emotional experiences are particularly well remembered by the brain, not least because it helps the survival of our species to be able to remember times when we were in danger and times when we prospered. “These results indicate that the cerebellum is an integral component of a network that is responsible for the improved storage of emotional information,” says neuroscientist Dominique de Quervain from the University of Basel in Switzerland and one of the research paper\u2019s authors. The amygdala and hippocampus are the brain regions thought to be most responsible for consolidating these emotional memories, but as the cerebellum is already linked to fear conditioning, the researchers behind the latest study wanted to see if it had a part to play in logging emotional memories too. “The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the cerebellum and cerebellar\u2013cerebral connections are involved in the phenomenon of superior episodic memory for emotionally arousing visual information,” write the researchers. Through brain scans of 1,418 individuals taken through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans as they viewed emotional \u2013 some positive, some negative \u2013 and neutral images, the team was able to establish that the cerebellum was indeed involved. “These findings expand knowledge on the role of the cerebellum in complex cognitive and emotional processes and may be relevant for the understanding of psychiatric disorders with aberrant emotional circuitry, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or autism spectrum disorder,” write the researchers. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/a03c0983-a12e-45bb-8928-c02a5c29b90e.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/29\/science\/cancer-tumors-fungi-bacteria-microbiome.html?unlocked_article_code=wVCWDQHg_1Tt3KA9S59fXsFWT5faQD6MBQzC3ayB8XKUc7KBfjwkiaZ59S_ZYeInn5KC-pXiKms5VGWoKw6TGsb9LFEsPtpAzzPFWz15KBwrKY5VMvIpyk583tO-IertRd2_1oI9ExCTUQ4VvPFbmG08DcTxk6Xz4Usdct_bDmUsfBblOK6vFjBICxuTnajd8U29NxxV9HNMmV8rQyCoyvEBhlOm86-OFTagwNGlZ6LRMlhNGHSwrgvL64kDKiRGzUIfpg1tSSM3xOIyqBhW6jA0vJ1pf6eFSD9ipwcHhnpV41ivD0ic3OU3br_Meau-sp2rNRr-MCYtYvyKa_uCqpDJglT8ttU9U-nk04wTUSO0&smid=em-share\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">A New Approach to Spotting Tumors: Look for Their Microbes \u2013 (New York Times \u2013 September 29, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nA tumor may contain millions of microbes, representing dozens of species. \u201cI think this is an ecosystem,\u201d said Lian Narunsky Haziza, a cancer biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. \u201cIt means the cancer cells are not alone.\u201d Scientists have long known that our bodies are home to microbes, but have tended to treat tumors as if they were sterile. In recent years, however, researchers have laid that notion to rest, demonstrating that tumors are rife with microbes. In 2020, several research teams showed that tumors are home to various blends of bacteria. And now, two studies published in the journal Cell found that tumors are also home to many species of fungi. Fungi are one of the great success stories in the history of evolution, with an estimated 6.2 million species. Some species have adapted to live inside us. Skin fungi break down oils we make. Others feed on the sugars in our mouths and digestive tracts. Scientists have also found other fungi in our bodies whose lives remain a mystery. Dr. Iliev and his colleagues independently found fungi in tumors from seven parts of the body: mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, breasts and lungs. This so-called tumor microbiome is proving so distinctive in each type of cancer that some scientists hope to find early signs of hidden tumors by measuring the microbial DNA they shed into the blood. And some research hints that microbes may make tumors more aggressive or resistant to treatments. If that proves to be the case, it may be possible to fight cancer by attacking a tumor\u2019s microbiome along with the tumor itself. In 2017, Dr. Straussman, also at the Weizmann Institute, and his colleagues stumbled across bacteria living inside pancreatic tumors. They made the discovery while puzzling over how some tumors managed to resist a chemotherapy drug. It turned out that a species of bacteria that could block the drug was living inside them. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/news\/20220929\/Researchers-discover-how-cancer-cells-can-turn-off-the-immune-system-to-help-tumors-grow.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Researchers Discover How Cancer Cells Can Turn off the Immune System to Help Tumors Grow \u2013 (News Medical Life Sciences \u2013 September 29, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nA team led by researchers at Harvard Medical School has identified a way that tumor cells can turn off the immune system, allowing the tumor to grow unchecked. The research, conducted primarily in mice and published in Science, shows that tumor cells with a particular mutation release a chemical, a metabolite, that weakens nearby immune cells, rendering them less capable of killing cancer cells. The findings reveal critical details of how tumors deactivate the immune system and highlight the role of tumor metabolites in this process. The results also point to the essential role that the area around the tumor \u2013 the tumor microenvironment \u2013 plays in cancer growth.

These neurons also appeared more resistant to characteristics of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and present as a unique biological signature that these subjects may have carried throughout their whole lives. SuperAgers are a group of individuals over the age of 80 with exceptional episodic memory, at least as good as people 20 to 30 years younger. Studies on what makes the brains of these SuperAgers different to typical elderly brains have produced some fascinating insights in the past few years, relating not just to memory but how they may keep neurological degeneration at bay. PET scans have shown that these brains contained far lower aggregations of toxic brain plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and MRI scans have shown they feature the neural network and connectivity akin to the brains of young adults. Other studies on visual memory specifically have found their brain activity can be similar to that of a 25 year old. Building on this is a new study from Northwestern University researchers, who focused on the entorhinal cortex, a brain region responsible for memory and one of the first impacted by Alzheimer\u2019s disease. The team studied six post-mortem SuperAger brains and found larger, healthier neurons in one of the six layers making up this region. These neurons were compared to those in seven cognitively average elderly people, six young subjects and five subjects with early Alzheimer\u2019s, and were found to be significantly larger. \u201cThe remarkable observation that SuperAgers showed larger neurons than their younger peers may imply that large cells were present from birth and are maintained structurally throughout their lives,\u201d said lead author Tamar Gefen. \u201cWe conclude that larger neurons are a biological signature of the SuperAging trajectory.\u201d \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/health-shots\/2022\/10\/12\/1128356099\/human-cells-in-a-rats-brain-could-shed-light-on-autism-and-adhd\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Human Brain Cells in a Rat’s Brain Could Shed Light on Autism and ADHD \u2013 (NPR \u2013 October 12, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nScientists have demonstrated a new way to study conditions like autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia. The approach involves transplanting a cluster of living human brain cells from a dish in the lab to the brain of a newborn rat, done by a team from Stanford University. The cluster, known as a brain organoid, then continues to develop in ways that mimic a human brain and may allow scientists to see what goes wrong in a range of neuropsychiatric disorders. The success in transplanting human brain organoids into a living animal appears to remove a major barrier to using them as models of human disease. It also represents the culmination of seven years of work overseen by Dr. Sergiu Pasca, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford. Human brain organoids are made from pluripotent stem cells, which can be coaxed into becoming various types of brain cells. But after a few months, the lab-grown organoids stop developing, says Pasca. “No matter how long we keep them in a dish, they still do not become as complex as human neurons would be in an actual human brain,” Pasca says. That may be one reason organoids have yet to reveal much about the origins of complex neuropsychiatric disorders, he says. So Pasca’s team set out to find an environment for the organoids that would allow them to continue growing and maturing. They found one in the brains of newborn rats. “We discovered that the [organoid] grows, over the span of a few months, about nine times in volume,” Pasca says. “In the end it covers roughly about a third of a rat’s hemisphere.” The transplanted cells don’t seem to cause problems for the rats, who behave normally as they grow, Pasca says. “But now you also have a group of human cells that are integrating into the [neural] circuitry.” The advance, however, is likely to make some people uneasy, says bioethicist Insoo Hyun, director of life sciences at the Museum of Science in Boston and an affiliate of the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics.

In recent years, this has made it possible to decode complete sentences from someone\u2019s neural activity with 97% accuracy. But having to implant electrodes into someone\u2019s brain has obvious downsides. Now a team at Meta\u2019s AI research division reports that they\u2019ve developed an AI system that can predict what words someone is listening to based on brain activity recorded using non-invasive brain-computer interfaces. The researchers relied on four pre-existing brain activity datasets collected from 169 people as they listened to recordings of people speaking. Article explains the AI training process and results. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/digital-trails-how-fbi-identifying-tracking-rounding-up-dissidents\/5740087\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Trails: How the FBI Is Identifying, Tracking and Rounding Up Dissidents \u2013 (Global Research \u2013 September 4, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">Relying on selfies, social media posts, location data, geotagged photos, facial recognition, surveillance cameras and crowdsourcing, government agents are compiling a massive data trove on anyone and everyone who may have been anywhere in the vicinity of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The amount of digital information is staggering: 15,000 hours of surveillance and body-worn camera footage; 1,600 electronic devices; 270,000 digital media tips; at least 140,000 photos and videos; and about 100,000 location pings for thousands of smartphones. And that\u2019s just what we know. More than 300 individuals from 40 states have already been charged and another 280 arrested in connection with the events of January 6. As many as 500 others are still being hunted by government agents. It\u2019s not just the FBI on the hunt, however. They\u2019ve enlisted the help of volunteer posses of private citizens, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/2021\/03\/08\/capitol-riot-insurrection-arrests-near-300-fbi-hunts-hundreds-more\/6871403002\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Deep State Dogs<\/a>, to collaborate on the grunt work. As Dinah Voyles Pulver reports, once Deep State Dogs locates a person and confirms their identity, they put a package together with the person\u2019s name, address, phone number and several images and send it to the FBI. According to USA Today, the FBI is relying on the American public and volunteer cybersleuths to help bolster its cases.

The patented home is designed to leave the factory the size of a 20-foot-long shipping container. At its destination, the legs come down automatically and the building rises, enabling the truck to drive out from underneath it. It then unfolds to become a 450-square-foot house, complete with furnishings \u2014 like an oversize camper that could serve as durable shelter for years. Jaacks envisions parents occupying their movable homes for months at a time in the yards of their adult children \u2014 and government agencies using them as emergency shelters or offices. These uses fit into a movement known as nomadic architecture, which caters to those who want the freedom to change the view from their living rooms. In 2020, Jaacks purchased the designs of a British company, Tenfold Engineering, and started adapting those to build the expandable homes at his industrial space in Vermont. The steel homes designed by Tenfold (Jaacks kept the name) come in a size that can be trucked without permits. And the setup doesn\u2019t require heavy equipment: After it\u2019s delivered, that can be directed through an app; it takes about four hours. One of the things that sets Tenfold\u2019s designs apart is the steel. Most mobile buildings are made of wood or other conventional materials. But steel, Jaacks said, lends itself to automation in a way that wood \u2014 which changes with temperature and other conditions \u2014 does not. And automation is key in an economy where construction labor is in short supply. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AEfNLjPSlKs&ab_channel=JohannRosario\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">This YouTube clip<\/a> showcases a number of Tenford\u2019s innovative designs. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/dc436ab3-c7e2-41d0-a460-a87c628031bb.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/09\/29\/citroen-says-ev-concept-uses-cardboard-and-has-top-speed-of-68-mph.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Citroen Announces EV Concept Which Uses Recycled Cardboard and Has a Top Speed of 68 mph \u2013 (CNBC \u2013 September 29, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">French automaker Citroen has released details of a new electric concept vehicle which is called oli. Citroen said it had a target weight of roughly 1,000 kilograms, or one metric ton, and a range of as much as 248 miles. Citroen said the oli\u2019s top speed had been limited to 68 miles per hour to maximize efficiency. Citroen said \u201c20% to 80% charging\u201d would take 23 minutes. The automaker added that vehicle parts could be \u201creused or recycled throughout ownership.\u201d According to the document providing details of the oli, it has a \u201cflat bonnet, roof and pick-up bed panels\u201d that are \u201cmade from re-cycled honeycomb cardboard.\u201d The firm was keen to emphasize the vehicle\u2019s smaller scale. \u201cRather than being a 2,500kg \u2018palace on wheels\u2019 filled with screens and gadgets, oli proves that more can be achieved with less,\u201d it said. CEO Vincent Cob\u00e9e wanted to emphasize the importance of broadening access to EVs. \u201cOne thing is, for the last 10 years, we\u2019ve seen an increase in electric vehicle performance,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m talking autonomy, power, speed and, as a consequence, weight and price. This for us is a concern because, honestly, if the future of an electric car is 2.5 tons of weight and 70,000 euros or more of price, then it\u2019s not for everyone.\u201d With European economies facing an energy crisis and soaring prices over the coming months, there have been concerns that the increasing cost of charging an EV will disincentivize uptake among consumers. According to recent data, electric car drivers in the U.K. have seen the cost of using a public, \u201crapid\u201d charger on a pay-as-you-go tariff rise by 42% since May. (Editor\u2019s note: The oli is only a concept vehicle \u2013 and, as such, it\u2019s pointing the way toward future affordable EVs.) <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/28\/business\/driverless-trucks-highways.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">The Long Road to Driverless Trucks \u2013 (New York Times \u2013 September 28, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">In March, a self-driving eighteen-wheeler spent more than five straight days hauling goods between Dallas and Atlanta. Running around the clock, it traveled more than 6,300 miles, making four round trips and delivering eight loads of freight. The result of a partnership between Kodiak Robotics, a self-driving start-up, and U.S. Xpress, a traditional trucking company, this five-day drive demonstrated the enormous potential of autonomous trucks. A traditional truck, whose lone driver must stop and rest each day, would need more than 10 days to deliver the same freight. Each day, Kodiak rotated a new team of specialists into the cab of its truck, so that someone could take control of the vehicle if anything went wrong. These \u201csafety drivers\u201d grabbed the wheel multiple times. Tech start-ups like Kodiak have spent years building and testing self-driving trucks, and companies across the trucking industry are keen to reap the benefits. At a time when the global supply chain is struggling to deliver goods as efficiently as businesses and consumers now demand, autonomous trucks could alleviate bottlenecks and reduce costs. The technology is a long way from the moment trucks can drive anywhere on their own. So they are looking for ways to deploy self-driving trucks solely on highways, whose long, uninterrupted stretches are easier to navigate than city streets teeming with stop-and-go traffic. Restricting these trucks to the highway also plays to their strengths. It\u2019s a sound strategy, but even this will require years of additional development. Part of the challenge is technical. Though self-driving trucks can handle most of what happens on a highway \u2014 merging into traffic from an on-ramp, changing lanes, slowing for cars stopped on the shoulder \u2014 companies are still working to ensure they can respond to less common situations, like a sudden three-car pileup. Alex Rodrigues, chief executive of the self-driving-truck start-up Embark, said his company has yet to perfect what he calls evasive maneuvers. Deploying these trucks is also a logistical challenge \u2014 one that will require significant changes across the trucking industry. (Editor\u2019s note: We recommend this article for its thorough analysis of just how great and varied the challenges for autonomous trucking are.) <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/b939ecee-ce36-47c0-a2fc-8c3c5a410a9a.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/2022\/10\/10\/edible-cities-orchard-free-produce\/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F3822803%2F634447b4f3d9003c580bc70c%2F5e876a849bbc0f0a2e14608c%2F49%2F68%2F634447b4f3d9003c580bc70c&wp_cu=e9566cddf5919d659b8a87c177b08eff%7CA266C910E7810C4DE0530100007F0657\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">These Cities Turned Parks into Orchards Where Anyone Can Pick for Free \u2013 (Washington Post \u2013 October 10, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">The city of Andernach, Germany, planted 101 varieties of tomatoes in the town center and told everyone to pluck and take whatever they wanted. It was such a hit, the following year the city did the same with beans. The next year, it was onions. After that, the city planted fruit trees, lettuce, zucchini, berries and herbs. All were free to anyone who lived or happened to be in the town of 30,000 people. The town, which sits in the Rhine River Valley, has an unofficial motto: \u201cPicking is encouraged \u2014 help yourself.\u201d It\u2019s one of a growing number of places across the globe known as edible cities. In the United States, there are public lands from Seattle to North Carolina where people are welcome to pick and take from fruiting trees and bushes. Detroit has an urban farming movement, Philadelphia has food forests, and there are edible community projects in Atlanta and Los Angeles. All rely on volunteers to do the weeding, pruning and planting. Smaller cities such as Bloomington, Ind., and Hyattsville, Md., also have fruit trees and vegetable gardens that can be accessed by anyone. Organizers interviewed for this article said there has never been a problem with people taking more than they need, whether they grab a single pear or a bag full of potatoes and artichokes. Every year, there is more than enough produce to go around. The Edible Cities Network is a group of about 150 cities worldwide with fruit trees and vegetable gardens in public places for anyone to access free of charge, said Marisa Pettit, a coordinator for Edible Cities. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/990684dc-d4a9-42f8-9778-7df045165e24.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2022-10-13\/-zero-click-spyware-emerges-as-a-menacing-mobile-threat\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Zero-Click\u2019 Spyware Emerges as a Menacing Mobile Threat \u2013 (Bloomberg \u2013 October 13, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">In July 2020, an Azerbaijani journalist\u2019s iPhone silently received a command to open the Apple Music app. Without the journalist\u2019s knowledge or interaction, the app connected to a malicious server and downloaded spyware onto the phone that remained there for 17 months, eavesdropping on phone calls and text messages. The hack was an example of a \u201czero-click\u201d attack\u2014a method of placing spyware on a phone without tricking a user into doing anything, such as clicking on a malicious link sent in an email or text message. It\u2019s a technique that governments have utilized to target their opponents on a greater scale and for a longer duration than previously known, according to recent research from Amnesty International and Citizen Lab. The Azerbaijani journalist\u2014researchers didn\u2019t disclose the identity\u2014was a victim of spyware manufactured by NSO Group, which sells technology to governments and law enforcement agencies. The Israeli company says clients use its software to stop terrorism and curb violent crime. Some governments have misused NSO\u2019s spyware\u2014known as Pegasus\u2014to target critics in more than a dozen countries, rights groups say. NSO has helped governments hack phones with zero-click malware since at least July 2017 and has utilized at least six different zero-click exploits that were used to covertly hack Apple iOS versions 10 through 14, according to the Amnesty and Citizen Lab research, which was presented at the Virus Bulletin conference in Prague on Sept. 28. Flaws were exploited in iMessage, the Apple podcast and music apps, Apple photos and a Wi-Fi calling feature, the researchers found. In November, Apple sued NSO Group, accusing the company of \u201cflagrant violations of US federal and state law.\u201d NSO Group also designed zero-click attacks that could compromise Android phones by exploiting a flaw in WhatsApp that was used to transmit malicious code onto a device. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/1f55c21a-4c06-4011-a5d0-718ccb33dd60.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thescrum.substack.com\/p\/a-cia-theme-park\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cA C.I.A.

The name of \u201cour\u201d enemy has changed over the years, from communism to Islamism, but generally it is any society independent of western power and occupying strategically useful or resource-rich territory, or merely offering an alternative to U.S. domination. Washington\u2019s role in Ukraine is different only in its implications for the rest of us. For the first time since the Reagan years, the U.S. is threatening to take the world to war. With eastern Europe and the Balkans now military outposts of NATO, the last \u201cbuffer state\u201d bordering Russia \u2013 Ukraine \u2013 is being torn apart by fascist forces unleashed by the U.S. and the EU.

The whistleblower told the office of Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, that the Justice Department launched the review of the FBI\u2019s disciplinary database in 2020 following an Associated Press investigation into sexual misconduct allegations involving at least six senior FBI officials. The follow-up review found 665 FBI employees, including 45 senior-level officials, resigned or retired between 2004 and 2020 following a misconduct probe but before a final disciplinary letter could be issued, according to a letter this week from Grassley to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. It was not clear how many of those cases involved sexual misconduct. Grassley\u2019s office, which declined to make the whistleblower or underlying documents available to protect the person\u2019s identify, said that was the kind of information it was still seeking but estimated the number could be in the \u201chundreds.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scheerpost.com\/2022\/10\/09\/chris-hedges-the-puppets-and-the-puppet-masters\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Hedges: The Puppets and the Puppet Masters \u2013 (Scheerpost \u2013 October 9, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">This article provides the text of the speech given by Chris Hedges outside the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. on Saturday October 8 at a rally that called on the U.S. to revoke its extradition request for Julian Assange.

We cannot fight on behalf of Julian unless we are clear about whom we are fighting against. It is far worse than a corrupt judiciary. The global billionaire class, who have orchestrated a social inequality rivaled by pharaonic Egypt, has internally seized all of the levers of power and made us the most spied upon, monitored, watched and photographed population in human history. Julian was long a target, of course, but when WikiLeaks published the documents known as Vault 7, which exposed the hacking tools the CIA uses to monitor our phones, televisions and even cars, he \u2014 and journalism itself \u2014 was condemned to crucifixion. The object is to shut down any investigations into the inner workings of power that might hold the ruling class accountable for its crimes, eradicate public opinion and replace it with the cant [cant: hypocritical and sanctimonious talk, typically of a moral, religious, or political nature] fed to the mob. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/89e7707a-0a68-4699-8fef-f6e417fdb7f6.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/opinion\/2022\/09\/05\/liz-truss-will-make-johnson-seem-a-political-genius-may-a-mistress-of-empathy-cameron-a-beacon-of-sincerity\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Liz Truss Will Make Johnson Seem a Political Genius, May a Mistress of Empathy, Cameron a Beacon of Sincerity \u2013 (Irish Times \u2013 September 5, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">In a healthy or happy democracy, Truss doesn\u2019t get to be prime minister, even in her own fantasies. She is Theresa May without the seriousness and Boris Johnson without the charisma \u2014 a combination of ingredients scraped by a mad chef from the bottom of a very deep barrel. With her, the Tory Party has chosen, not to wake up to the increasingly grim realities of contemporary Britain, but to double down on the game of \u201clet\u2019s pretend\u201d. You only have to pretend this hard when you\u2019re avoiding something big. What\u2019s being evaded here is decline. In thinking about Britain\u2019s slow decline, the usual point of comparison is with, say, the rise of China. But a much better comparator is much closer to home \u2014 the little country just across the Irish Sea. Ireland, God knows, has very serious problems, most of them rooted in its peculiar combination of hyperdevelopment and underdevelopment. But it\u2019s doing better than Britain is. Twenty five years ago, Ireland was poorer, more corrupt and more in thrall to reactionary nationalism than Britain was. Now, on all three counts, the reality is reversed. The Tories came back into power in 2010. Over the course of this unbroken period of rule, typical household incomes in Britain have risen more slowly than those in only two other western European countries: Greece and Cyprus. And, from our point of view, the remarkable fact is that typical incomes of ordinary people in Ireland are now 6% higher than they are in Britain. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/1955eac6-467c-41bd-a8b7-b2ccd4454d33.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/science\/space\/laughing-gas-could-be-a-sign-of-life-on-distant-planets\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Laughing Gas Could Be a Sign of Life on Distant Planets \u2013 (CNET \u2013 October 4, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nA team of astrobiologists has proposed looking for nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas, as a possible indication of life on distant worlds. “There’s been a lot of thought put into oxygen and methane as biosignatures. Fewer researchers have seriously considered nitrous oxide, but we think that may be a mistake,” said astrobiologist Eddie Schwieterman, at University of California, Riverside. Nitrous oxide can be generated by microorganisms on Earth, but it’s not currently very concentrated in our own atmosphere. That suggests it might not be worth looking for on exoplanets. “This conclusion doesn’t account for periods in Earth’s history where ocean conditions would have allowed for much greater biological release of N2O,” Schwieterman said. “Conditions in those periods might mirror where an exoplanet is today.” Schweitermen’s team ran computer models to simulate how living organisms might generate nitrous oxide on other planets and discovered scenarios where the gas could act as a notable biosignature. The point is we would have to look for it. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/mars-microbes-made-themselves-extinct-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">First Martian Life Likely Broke the Planet with Climate Change, Made Themselves Extinct \u2013 (Live Science \u2013 October 13, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nAncient microbial life on Mars could have destroyed the planet\u2019s atmosphere through climate change, which ultimately led to its extinction, new research has suggested. The new theory comes from a climate modeling study that simulated hydrogen-consuming, methane-producing microbes living on Mars roughly 3.7 billion years ago. At the time, atmospheric conditions were similar to those that existed on ancient Earth during the same period. But instead of creating an environment that would help them thrive and evolve, as happened on Earth, Martian microbes may have doomed themselves just as they were getting started, according to the study published Oct. 10 in the journal <em>Nature Astronomy<\/em>. The model suggests that the reason life thrived on Earth and was doomed on Mars is because of the gas compositions of the two planets, and their relative distances from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/what-is-the-sun\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\">sun<\/a>.

To protect those most vulnerable to covid-19 during the pandemic, the Cares Act allowed the Justice Department to order the release of people in federal prisons and place them on home confinement. More than 11,000 people were eventually released. Of those, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) reported that only 17 of them committed new crimes. That\u2019s not a typo. Seventeen. That\u2019s a 0.15 percent recidivism rate in a country where it\u2019s normal for 30 to 65% of people coming home from prison to reoffend within three years of release. Of those 17 people, most new offenses were for possessing or selling drugs or other minor offenses. Of the 17 new crimes, only one was violent (an aggravated assault), and none were sex offenses. These 11,000 releases were not random. Many of the people released to home confinement had years or even decades left to serve on their sentences. But they changed in prison and are no longer a danger to others, as the new data confirms. People with serious chronic illnesses or physical disabilities are another group who can be safely released from long sentences. They are not dangerous, but their increased medical needs make them exponentially more expensive to incarcerate. Taxpayers aren\u2019t getting much public safety bang for their buck when we incarcerate bedridden people. It\u2019s time to rethink our incarceration policies for those with a low risk of reoffending. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/c1c5845a-2cc1-4f99-9312-ad9c819c9be2.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/02\/tech\/amazon-product-event\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Is Always Watching \u2013 (CNN \u2013 October 2, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nAt a recent invite-only press event, Amazon unveiled a long list of product updates ahead of the holiday shopping season that appear designed to further insert its gadgets and services into every corner of our homes with the apparent goal of making everything a little easier. But the event was also another reminder of just how much Amazon\u2019s many products are watching us. Amazon has previously raised eyebrows with blatant examples of surveillance products, including drones and Astro, the dog-like robot that patrols the home. But this year, Amazon\u2019s advancements in everyday tracking were a bit more subtle. The new Halo Rise sleep tracking device, for example, sits on the nightstand and monitors a person\u2019s breathing and micro-movements as they sleep without the need to wear a sleep tracker. The device is said to work even if the person is turned in the other direction, or covered up by pillows and blankets. On the new Echo Show 15 smart display, Amazon\u2019s voice assistant Alexa can now rattle off a morning routine for each person in the home, provide calendar updates and highlight traffic reports for the commute to the office. There\u2019s also an option to ask Alexa to turn off the lights up to 24 hours in the future if they won\u2019t be home. Amazon continues to expand Astro\u2019s features, too. It can now detect the faces of pets in the home and stream footage to owners when they\u2019re out of the house. The robot can also make sure windows and doors are closed and it can perform deeper monitoring when the owner is away as part of a virtual surveillance subscription. Amazon, perhaps more than any of its peers, has created a sprawling suite of products and services that arguably track more of our daily lives in and around our homes. In the months leading up to the product event, Amazon made two big announcements that could expand its reach into our lives even more. Amazon agreed last month to acquire iRobot, the company behind the popular automated Roomba vacuums, some of which create maps of the inside of our homes. It also announced plans to broaden its reach in the health care market by buying One Medical, a membership-based primary care service. In the process, Amazon is possibly testing customers\u2019 comfort levels with how much any single company should know about our lives, and perhaps shifting our tolerance, too. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/33a86720-2925-4edd-a373-9d326d952424.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/04\/business\/asia-currency-dollar.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Businesses Brace for Currency Chaos in Asia, a Region With a History of Crisis \u2013 (New York Times \u2013 October 3, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nThroughout Asia, from the Vietnamese dong to the Philippine peso, currencies are tumbling to record lows, the type of widespread currency weakness not seen since the 1997 financial crisis. That has unnerved businesses and policymakers who recall how a string of Asian currencies folded under the pressure of a strong dollar. To minimize the risk of that kind of calamity, policymakers are scrambling to stabilize their currencies. The State Bank of Vietnam raised interest rates by a full percentage point last month after Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh implored the central bank to act. The dong had fallen for nine straight days to a 29-year low. On the same day, Japan, where the yen has dropped around 25% against the dollar this year, announced it would intervene to strengthen its currency for the first time since 1998. In China, where the renminbi is trading near 14-year lows, the central bank has taken a series of measures to slow the currency\u2019s depreciation, including warning speculators against making bets on it. Heightening the alarm, the dollar \u2014 powered by the most rapid Federal Reserve interest rate increases in decades \u2014 shows no signs of slowing. It is up nearly 20% against a group of major currencies from a year ago. Many Asian central banks that used to keep their exchange rates in line with the greenback now allow them to fluctuate with market forces. While that means more volatile exchange rates, it also relieves some pent-up pressure that can trigger a collapse. And most Asian countries have more foreign currency coming in than going out, allowing them to sock away significant reserves that they can deploy in an emergency to supplement imports or protect their own currency from depreciating. As a result, Asia today is \u201cin much better shape than any other region in the world,\u201d said Sayuri Shira, a professor of economics at Keio University and former member of the Bank of Japan\u2019s policy board. Still, the strong dollar is testing the region\u2019s defenses, forcing central banks to use their war chests to prop up their currencies \u2014 mainly by buying their own currencies and selling dollars. India and Thailand have spent more than 10% of their reserves on interventions this year, spending $75 billion and $27 billion in the foreign exchange markets, according to estimates from Nomura Holdings.

Analysts, tech visionaries and even renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson predicted that space mining was going to be big business. Fast forward to 2022, and humanity has yet to commercially mine even a single asteroid. So what\u2019s taking so long? \u201cIf we had to develop a full-scale asteroid mining vehicle today, we would need a few hundred million dollars to do that using commercial processes. It would be difficult to convince the investment community that that\u2019s the right thing to do,\u201d says Joel Sercel, president and CEO of TransAstra Corporation. This has not dissuaded Sercel from trying to mine the cosmos. TransAstra will initially focus on mining asteroids for water to make rocket propellant, but would like to eventually mine \u201ceverything on the periodic table.\u201d Article also showcases AstroForge, founded in 2022 by a former SpaceX engineer and a former Virgin Galactic engineer. AstroForge plans to mine and refine rare earth metals in space. To keep costs down, AstroForge will attach its refining payload to off-the shelf satellites and launch those satellites on SpaceX rockets.

The first speaker talks about her 3D model of a 12-legged purple spider that lives in the Arctic. There\u2019s no evidence it exists, she admits, but it\u2019s a testable hypothesis, and she argues that a mission should be sent off to search the Arctic for spiders. The second speaker has a model for a flying earthworm, but it flies only in caves. There\u2019s no evidence for that either, but he petitions to search the world\u2019s caves. The third one has a model for octopuses on Mars. It\u2019s testable, he stresses. Kudos to zoologists, I\u2019ve never heard of such a conference. But almost every particle physics conference has sessions just like this, except they do it with more math. It has become common among physicists to invent new particles for which there is no evidence, publish papers about them, write more papers about these particles\u2019 properties, and demand the hypothesis be experimentally tested. Many of these tests have actually been done, and more are being commissioned as we speak. It is wasting time and money. Since the 1980s, physicists have invented an entire particle zoo, whose inhabitants carry names like preons, sfermions, dyons, magnetic monopoles, simps, wimps, wimpzillas, axions, flaxions, erebons, accelerons, cornucopions, giant magnons, maximons, macros, wisps, fips, branons, skyrmions, chameleons, cuscutons, planckons and sterile neutrinos, to mention just a few. We even had a (luckily short-lived) fad of \u201cunparticles\u201d. All experiments looking for those particles have come back empty-handed, in particular those that have looked for particles that make up dark matter, a type of matter that supposedly fills the universe and makes itself noticeable by its gravitational pull. However, we do not know that dark matter is indeed made of particles. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) hasn\u2019t seen any of those particles either, even though, before its launch, many theoretical physicists were confident it would see at least a few. Talk to particle physicists in private, and many of them will admit they do not actually believe those particles exist. They justify their work by claiming that it is good practice, or that every once in a while one of them accidentally comes up with an idea that is useful for something else. But is this a good strategy? \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/media\/2022\/10\/04\/onion-amicus-brief-supreme-court-anthony-novak\/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F381a000%2F633c5e86f3d9003c5806248d%2F5e876a849bbc0f0a2e14608c%2F46%2F72%2F633c5e86f3d9003c5806248d&wp_cu=e9566cddf5919d659b8a87c177b08eff%7CA266C910E7810C4DE0530100007F0657\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Onion<\/em> Files Supreme Court Amicus Brief Defending the Right to Parody \u2013 (Washington Post \u2013 October 3, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<em>The Onion<\/em> \u2014 a satirical publication known for poking fun at everything from popular culture to global politics \u2014 is taking a stab at a serious issue. It has filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of an Ohio man who faced criminal charges over a Facebook page parodying his local police department. Anthony Novak, an amateur comic from Parma, a Cleveland suburb, was arrested and briefly jailed after creating a fake social media page in 2016 styled after the Parma Police Department\u2019s Facebook page. His lawyers argue it was an obvious parody, and he was acquitted at trial. Novak subsequently filed a civil suit alleging his constitutional rights were violated, though that was dismissed after a federal appeals court granted the police officers qualified immunity \u2014 a legal doctrine that protects government officials from being sued for allegedly violating civil rights. \u201cThere\u2019s no recognized right to be free from a retaliatory arrest that is supported by probable cause,\u201d the appellate judges ruled. Now, Novak is petitioning the Supreme Court to take up his case. Despite the sarcasm and hyperbole, the legal brief isn\u2019t a joke. The publication\u2019s aim is to get the Supreme Court to scrutinize qualified immunity and free speech rights. (Amicus briefs are documents filed by parties not directly involved in a case to provide the court with additional information.) \u201c<em>The Onion<\/em> cannot stand idly by in the face of a ruling that threatens to disembowel a form of rhetoric that has existed for millennia, that is particularly potent in the realm of political debate, and that, purely incidentally, forms the basis of <em>The Onion\u2019s<\/em> writers\u2019 paychecks,\u201d the brief says. It also highlights what <em>The Onion<\/em> suggests are shortcomings in the legal system when it comes to protecting those who use comedy to question people in positions of authority. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/795386b4-b7b2-4a33-8c48-67b4ccad05b4.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/10\/07\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-climb-mount-everest-and-the-seven-summits.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">He Paid Over $170,000 to Climb the Seven Summits \u2014 Despite Being \u2018Terrified of Heights\u2019 \u2013 (CNBC \u2013 October 6, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nVivian James Rigney is an executive coach and speaker who has visited more than 80 countries and lived on three continents. He\u2019s also climbed the highest mountains on all seven continents, the so-called Seven Summits. It\u2019s a feat that took him 14 years \u2014 one, he estimates, that fewer than 1,000 people have completed. And he did it despite being \u201cterrified of heights,\u201d he said. In this interview, Rigney talked about what he learned \u2014 and how much it cost him \u2014 to reach some of the highest points on earth. Strictly in terms of money, Rigney estimates he\u2019s paid between $170,000 and $180,000 to climb the Seven Summits.

That includes familial relationships, personal healthcare, business organizations, government policies, international relations and any other organized relationship that one would like to be stable. <br>\n<br>\nThe coming months and years promise more unpredictability than ever before in our lives.

Beside his work of teaching practitioners and doing R&D he still runs his holistic medical practice where he applies the principles of the new physics of global scaling.

Create\u00a0Covid-19 for Moderna\u2019s Vaccine Platform \u2013 (Expose News \u2013 October 9, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nIn early 2018, when DARPA outwardly rejected Peter Daszak\u2019s application for $14,209,245 for his project DEFUSE to engineer a human lung airway lining cell-specific furin cleavage site at the S1\/S2 junction (the junction of the 2 parts of the spike protein) where no other SARS related coronavirus has ever had such a site, the US deep state (US intelligence) actually accepted the project and classified it, having instructed DARPA to reject it as a cover story.\u00a0We know this to be true because in late 2019 SARS- CoV-2 and Covid19 appeared with a humanized furin cleavage site in precisely the position that Daszak had proposed and furthermore it took the humanized codon form of CCT CGG CGG GCA CGT coding for the 5 amino acids PRRAR, in a humanised furin cleavage site. This form is unknown in any virus at all. But it is known in cows and humans and many bacteria. Since cows, bacteria and humans cannot infect viruses, nature cannot have put it there. The only way for that coding to get into a virus is by a human being gene splicing it into the viral genome.\u00a0So we know that a human called Peter Daszak proposed the insertion in early 2018. We know that only a human could have achieved it. And we know that said insertion was achieved in late 2019. And we know that said insertion was the only difference between SARS-CoV-2 (causing Covid-19) and the bat coronavirus RaTG13, longer than one Codon (3 bases). And we know that the insertion occurred at the place where Daszak had proposed to insert it. And we know that the insertion was a humanized furin cleavage site as Daszak had proposed. In other words, SARS-CoV-2 was the fulfillment of the <a href=\"https:\/\/peterdaszak.com\/darpa2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">75-page\u00a0project DEFUSE proposal<\/a>. It is clear from the events immediately following the official rejection that the project was funded extremely quickly in a clandestine way and classified. So the US deep state essentially employed Peter Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance to make Covid-19 for US covert operations. It is also apparent that it was funded AND produced in a clandestine way because Peter Daszak arranged for a letter to be written to the Lancet by 27 academics on February19, 2020 calling all scientists who rejected a natural origin for Covid-19 conspiracy theorists. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/05fa197f-59a2-431f-9c55-401a2efc8ef9.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-10-fountain-life-droplets-secret-ingredient.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Water Droplets Hold the Secret Ingredient for Building Life \u2013 (PhysOrg \u2013 October 3, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nPurdue University chemists have uncovered a mechanism for peptide-forming reactions to occur in water\u2014something that has puzzled scientists for decades. “This is essentially the chemistry behind the origin of life,” said Graham Cooks, the Henry Bohn Hass Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry in Purdue’s College of Science.”This is the first demonstration that primordial molecules, simple amino acids, spontaneously form peptides, the building blocks of life, in droplets of pure water.” For decades scientists have theorized that life on Earth began in the oceans. The chemistry, however, remained an enigma. Raw amino acids\u2014something that meteorites delivered to early Earth daily\u2014can react and latch together to form peptides, the building blocks of proteins and, eventually, life. Puzzlingly, the process requires the loss of a water molecule, which seems highly unlikely in a wet, aqueous or oceanic environment. For life to form, it needed water. But it also needed space away from the water. Cooks, an expert in mass spectrometry and early Earth chemistry, and his team have uncovered the answer to the riddle: “Water isn’t wet everywhere.” On the margins, where the water droplet meets the atmosphere, incredibly rapid reactions can take place, transforming abiotic amino acids into the building blocks of life. “The rates of reactions in droplets are anywhere from a hundred to a million times faster than the same chemicals reacting in bulk solution,” Cooks said. The rates of these reactions make catalysts unnecessary, speeding up the reactions and, in the case of early Earth chemistry, making the evolution of life possible. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencealert.com\/the-cerebellum-has-a-function-we-didnt-even-know-about-new-research-reveals\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">The Cerebellum Has a Function We Didn’t Even Know About, New Research Reveals \u2013 (Science Alert \u2013 October 9, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nAlready known as being important for properly controlling our movements, it now appears that this brain region also has a key role to play when it comes to remembering positive and negative emotional experiences. These types of emotional experiences are particularly well remembered by the brain, not least because it helps the survival of our species to be able to remember times when we were in danger and times when we prospered. “These results indicate that the cerebellum is an integral component of a network that is responsible for the improved storage of emotional information,” says neuroscientist Dominique de Quervain from the University of Basel in Switzerland and one of the research paper\u2019s authors. The amygdala and hippocampus are the brain regions thought to be most responsible for consolidating these emotional memories, but as the cerebellum is already linked to fear conditioning, the researchers behind the latest study wanted to see if it had a part to play in logging emotional memories too. “The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the cerebellum and cerebellar\u2013cerebral connections are involved in the phenomenon of superior episodic memory for emotionally arousing visual information,” write the researchers. Through brain scans of 1,418 individuals taken through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans as they viewed emotional \u2013 some positive, some negative \u2013 and neutral images, the team was able to establish that the cerebellum was indeed involved. “These findings expand knowledge on the role of the cerebellum in complex cognitive and emotional processes and may be relevant for the understanding of psychiatric disorders with aberrant emotional circuitry, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or autism spectrum disorder,” write the researchers. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/a03c0983-a12e-45bb-8928-c02a5c29b90e.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/29\/science\/cancer-tumors-fungi-bacteria-microbiome.html?unlocked_article_code=wVCWDQHg_1Tt3KA9S59fXsFWT5faQD6MBQzC3ayB8XKUc7KBfjwkiaZ59S_ZYeInn5KC-pXiKms5VGWoKw6TGsb9LFEsPtpAzzPFWz15KBwrKY5VMvIpyk583tO-IertRd2_1oI9ExCTUQ4VvPFbmG08DcTxk6Xz4Usdct_bDmUsfBblOK6vFjBICxuTnajd8U29NxxV9HNMmV8rQyCoyvEBhlOm86-OFTagwNGlZ6LRMlhNGHSwrgvL64kDKiRGzUIfpg1tSSM3xOIyqBhW6jA0vJ1pf6eFSD9ipwcHhnpV41ivD0ic3OU3br_Meau-sp2rNRr-MCYtYvyKa_uCqpDJglT8ttU9U-nk04wTUSO0&smid=em-share\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">A New Approach to Spotting Tumors: Look for Their Microbes \u2013 (New York Times \u2013 September 29, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nA tumor may contain millions of microbes, representing dozens of species. \u201cI think this is an ecosystem,\u201d said Lian Narunsky Haziza, a cancer biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. \u201cIt means the cancer cells are not alone.\u201d Scientists have long known that our bodies are home to microbes, but have tended to treat tumors as if they were sterile. In recent years, however, researchers have laid that notion to rest, demonstrating that tumors are rife with microbes. In 2020, several research teams showed that tumors are home to various blends of bacteria. And now, two studies published in the journal Cell found that tumors are also home to many species of fungi. Fungi are one of the great success stories in the history of evolution, with an estimated 6.2 million species. Some species have adapted to live inside us. Skin fungi break down oils we make. Others feed on the sugars in our mouths and digestive tracts. Scientists have also found other fungi in our bodies whose lives remain a mystery. Dr. Iliev and his colleagues independently found fungi in tumors from seven parts of the body: mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, breasts and lungs. This so-called tumor microbiome is proving so distinctive in each type of cancer that some scientists hope to find early signs of hidden tumors by measuring the microbial DNA they shed into the blood. And some research hints that microbes may make tumors more aggressive or resistant to treatments. If that proves to be the case, it may be possible to fight cancer by attacking a tumor\u2019s microbiome along with the tumor itself. In 2017, Dr. Straussman, also at the Weizmann Institute, and his colleagues stumbled across bacteria living inside pancreatic tumors. They made the discovery while puzzling over how some tumors managed to resist a chemotherapy drug. It turned out that a species of bacteria that could block the drug was living inside them. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/news\/20220929\/Researchers-discover-how-cancer-cells-can-turn-off-the-immune-system-to-help-tumors-grow.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Researchers Discover How Cancer Cells Can Turn off the Immune System to Help Tumors Grow \u2013 (News Medical Life Sciences \u2013 September 29, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nA team led by researchers at Harvard Medical School has identified a way that tumor cells can turn off the immune system, allowing the tumor to grow unchecked. The research, conducted primarily in mice and published in Science, shows that tumor cells with a particular mutation release a chemical, a metabolite, that weakens nearby immune cells, rendering them less capable of killing cancer cells. The findings reveal critical details of how tumors deactivate the immune system and highlight the role of tumor metabolites in this process. The results also point to the essential role that the area around the tumor \u2013 the tumor microenvironment \u2013 plays in cancer growth.

These neurons also appeared more resistant to characteristics of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and present as a unique biological signature that these subjects may have carried throughout their whole lives. SuperAgers are a group of individuals over the age of 80 with exceptional episodic memory, at least as good as people 20 to 30 years younger. Studies on what makes the brains of these SuperAgers different to typical elderly brains have produced some fascinating insights in the past few years, relating not just to memory but how they may keep neurological degeneration at bay. PET scans have shown that these brains contained far lower aggregations of toxic brain plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease, and MRI scans have shown they feature the neural network and connectivity akin to the brains of young adults. Other studies on visual memory specifically have found their brain activity can be similar to that of a 25 year old. Building on this is a new study from Northwestern University researchers, who focused on the entorhinal cortex, a brain region responsible for memory and one of the first impacted by Alzheimer\u2019s disease. The team studied six post-mortem SuperAger brains and found larger, healthier neurons in one of the six layers making up this region. These neurons were compared to those in seven cognitively average elderly people, six young subjects and five subjects with early Alzheimer\u2019s, and were found to be significantly larger. \u201cThe remarkable observation that SuperAgers showed larger neurons than their younger peers may imply that large cells were present from birth and are maintained structurally throughout their lives,\u201d said lead author Tamar Gefen. \u201cWe conclude that larger neurons are a biological signature of the SuperAging trajectory.\u201d \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/health-shots\/2022\/10\/12\/1128356099\/human-cells-in-a-rats-brain-could-shed-light-on-autism-and-adhd\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Human Brain Cells in a Rat’s Brain Could Shed Light on Autism and ADHD \u2013 (NPR \u2013 October 12, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nScientists have demonstrated a new way to study conditions like autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia. The approach involves transplanting a cluster of living human brain cells from a dish in the lab to the brain of a newborn rat, done by a team from Stanford University. The cluster, known as a brain organoid, then continues to develop in ways that mimic a human brain and may allow scientists to see what goes wrong in a range of neuropsychiatric disorders. The success in transplanting human brain organoids into a living animal appears to remove a major barrier to using them as models of human disease. It also represents the culmination of seven years of work overseen by Dr. Sergiu Pasca, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford. Human brain organoids are made from pluripotent stem cells, which can be coaxed into becoming various types of brain cells. But after a few months, the lab-grown organoids stop developing, says Pasca. “No matter how long we keep them in a dish, they still do not become as complex as human neurons would be in an actual human brain,” Pasca says. That may be one reason organoids have yet to reveal much about the origins of complex neuropsychiatric disorders, he says. So Pasca’s team set out to find an environment for the organoids that would allow them to continue growing and maturing. They found one in the brains of newborn rats. “We discovered that the [organoid] grows, over the span of a few months, about nine times in volume,” Pasca says. “In the end it covers roughly about a third of a rat’s hemisphere.” The transplanted cells don’t seem to cause problems for the rats, who behave normally as they grow, Pasca says. “But now you also have a group of human cells that are integrating into the [neural] circuitry.” The advance, however, is likely to make some people uneasy, says bioethicist Insoo Hyun, director of life sciences at the Museum of Science in Boston and an affiliate of the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics.

In recent years, this has made it possible to decode complete sentences from someone\u2019s neural activity with 97% accuracy. But having to implant electrodes into someone\u2019s brain has obvious downsides. Now a team at Meta\u2019s AI research division reports that they\u2019ve developed an AI system that can predict what words someone is listening to based on brain activity recorded using non-invasive brain-computer interfaces. The researchers relied on four pre-existing brain activity datasets collected from 169 people as they listened to recordings of people speaking. Article explains the AI training process and results. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/digital-trails-how-fbi-identifying-tracking-rounding-up-dissidents\/5740087\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Trails: How the FBI Is Identifying, Tracking and Rounding Up Dissidents \u2013 (Global Research \u2013 September 4, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">Relying on selfies, social media posts, location data, geotagged photos, facial recognition, surveillance cameras and crowdsourcing, government agents are compiling a massive data trove on anyone and everyone who may have been anywhere in the vicinity of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The amount of digital information is staggering: 15,000 hours of surveillance and body-worn camera footage; 1,600 electronic devices; 270,000 digital media tips; at least 140,000 photos and videos; and about 100,000 location pings for thousands of smartphones. And that\u2019s just what we know. More than 300 individuals from 40 states have already been charged and another 280 arrested in connection with the events of January 6. As many as 500 others are still being hunted by government agents. It\u2019s not just the FBI on the hunt, however. They\u2019ve enlisted the help of volunteer posses of private citizens, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/2021\/03\/08\/capitol-riot-insurrection-arrests-near-300-fbi-hunts-hundreds-more\/6871403002\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Deep State Dogs<\/a>, to collaborate on the grunt work. As Dinah Voyles Pulver reports, once Deep State Dogs locates a person and confirms their identity, they put a package together with the person\u2019s name, address, phone number and several images and send it to the FBI. According to USA Today, the FBI is relying on the American public and volunteer cybersleuths to help bolster its cases.

The patented home is designed to leave the factory the size of a 20-foot-long shipping container. At its destination, the legs come down automatically and the building rises, enabling the truck to drive out from underneath it. It then unfolds to become a 450-square-foot house, complete with furnishings \u2014 like an oversize camper that could serve as durable shelter for years. Jaacks envisions parents occupying their movable homes for months at a time in the yards of their adult children \u2014 and government agencies using them as emergency shelters or offices. These uses fit into a movement known as nomadic architecture, which caters to those who want the freedom to change the view from their living rooms. In 2020, Jaacks purchased the designs of a British company, Tenfold Engineering, and started adapting those to build the expandable homes at his industrial space in Vermont. The steel homes designed by Tenfold (Jaacks kept the name) come in a size that can be trucked without permits. And the setup doesn\u2019t require heavy equipment: After it\u2019s delivered, that can be directed through an app; it takes about four hours. One of the things that sets Tenfold\u2019s designs apart is the steel. Most mobile buildings are made of wood or other conventional materials. But steel, Jaacks said, lends itself to automation in a way that wood \u2014 which changes with temperature and other conditions \u2014 does not. And automation is key in an economy where construction labor is in short supply. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AEfNLjPSlKs&ab_channel=JohannRosario\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">This YouTube clip<\/a> showcases a number of Tenford\u2019s innovative designs. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/dc436ab3-c7e2-41d0-a460-a87c628031bb.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/09\/29\/citroen-says-ev-concept-uses-cardboard-and-has-top-speed-of-68-mph.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Citroen Announces EV Concept Which Uses Recycled Cardboard and Has a Top Speed of 68 mph \u2013 (CNBC \u2013 September 29, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">French automaker Citroen has released details of a new electric concept vehicle which is called oli. Citroen said it had a target weight of roughly 1,000 kilograms, or one metric ton, and a range of as much as 248 miles. Citroen said the oli\u2019s top speed had been limited to 68 miles per hour to maximize efficiency. Citroen said \u201c20% to 80% charging\u201d would take 23 minutes. The automaker added that vehicle parts could be \u201creused or recycled throughout ownership.\u201d According to the document providing details of the oli, it has a \u201cflat bonnet, roof and pick-up bed panels\u201d that are \u201cmade from re-cycled honeycomb cardboard.\u201d The firm was keen to emphasize the vehicle\u2019s smaller scale. \u201cRather than being a 2,500kg \u2018palace on wheels\u2019 filled with screens and gadgets, oli proves that more can be achieved with less,\u201d it said. CEO Vincent Cob\u00e9e wanted to emphasize the importance of broadening access to EVs. \u201cOne thing is, for the last 10 years, we\u2019ve seen an increase in electric vehicle performance,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m talking autonomy, power, speed and, as a consequence, weight and price. This for us is a concern because, honestly, if the future of an electric car is 2.5 tons of weight and 70,000 euros or more of price, then it\u2019s not for everyone.\u201d With European economies facing an energy crisis and soaring prices over the coming months, there have been concerns that the increasing cost of charging an EV will disincentivize uptake among consumers. According to recent data, electric car drivers in the U.K. have seen the cost of using a public, \u201crapid\u201d charger on a pay-as-you-go tariff rise by 42% since May. (Editor\u2019s note: The oli is only a concept vehicle \u2013 and, as such, it\u2019s pointing the way toward future affordable EVs.) <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/28\/business\/driverless-trucks-highways.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">The Long Road to Driverless Trucks \u2013 (New York Times \u2013 September 28, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">In March, a self-driving eighteen-wheeler spent more than five straight days hauling goods between Dallas and Atlanta. Running around the clock, it traveled more than 6,300 miles, making four round trips and delivering eight loads of freight. The result of a partnership between Kodiak Robotics, a self-driving start-up, and U.S. Xpress, a traditional trucking company, this five-day drive demonstrated the enormous potential of autonomous trucks. A traditional truck, whose lone driver must stop and rest each day, would need more than 10 days to deliver the same freight. Each day, Kodiak rotated a new team of specialists into the cab of its truck, so that someone could take control of the vehicle if anything went wrong. These \u201csafety drivers\u201d grabbed the wheel multiple times. Tech start-ups like Kodiak have spent years building and testing self-driving trucks, and companies across the trucking industry are keen to reap the benefits. At a time when the global supply chain is struggling to deliver goods as efficiently as businesses and consumers now demand, autonomous trucks could alleviate bottlenecks and reduce costs. The technology is a long way from the moment trucks can drive anywhere on their own. So they are looking for ways to deploy self-driving trucks solely on highways, whose long, uninterrupted stretches are easier to navigate than city streets teeming with stop-and-go traffic. Restricting these trucks to the highway also plays to their strengths. It\u2019s a sound strategy, but even this will require years of additional development. Part of the challenge is technical. Though self-driving trucks can handle most of what happens on a highway \u2014 merging into traffic from an on-ramp, changing lanes, slowing for cars stopped on the shoulder \u2014 companies are still working to ensure they can respond to less common situations, like a sudden three-car pileup. Alex Rodrigues, chief executive of the self-driving-truck start-up Embark, said his company has yet to perfect what he calls evasive maneuvers. Deploying these trucks is also a logistical challenge \u2014 one that will require significant changes across the trucking industry. (Editor\u2019s note: We recommend this article for its thorough analysis of just how great and varied the challenges for autonomous trucking are.) <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/b939ecee-ce36-47c0-a2fc-8c3c5a410a9a.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/2022\/10\/10\/edible-cities-orchard-free-produce\/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F3822803%2F634447b4f3d9003c580bc70c%2F5e876a849bbc0f0a2e14608c%2F49%2F68%2F634447b4f3d9003c580bc70c&wp_cu=e9566cddf5919d659b8a87c177b08eff%7CA266C910E7810C4DE0530100007F0657\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">These Cities Turned Parks into Orchards Where Anyone Can Pick for Free \u2013 (Washington Post \u2013 October 10, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">The city of Andernach, Germany, planted 101 varieties of tomatoes in the town center and told everyone to pluck and take whatever they wanted. It was such a hit, the following year the city did the same with beans. The next year, it was onions. After that, the city planted fruit trees, lettuce, zucchini, berries and herbs. All were free to anyone who lived or happened to be in the town of 30,000 people. The town, which sits in the Rhine River Valley, has an unofficial motto: \u201cPicking is encouraged \u2014 help yourself.\u201d It\u2019s one of a growing number of places across the globe known as edible cities. In the United States, there are public lands from Seattle to North Carolina where people are welcome to pick and take from fruiting trees and bushes. Detroit has an urban farming movement, Philadelphia has food forests, and there are edible community projects in Atlanta and Los Angeles. All rely on volunteers to do the weeding, pruning and planting. Smaller cities such as Bloomington, Ind., and Hyattsville, Md., also have fruit trees and vegetable gardens that can be accessed by anyone. Organizers interviewed for this article said there has never been a problem with people taking more than they need, whether they grab a single pear or a bag full of potatoes and artichokes. Every year, there is more than enough produce to go around. The Edible Cities Network is a group of about 150 cities worldwide with fruit trees and vegetable gardens in public places for anyone to access free of charge, said Marisa Pettit, a coordinator for Edible Cities. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/990684dc-d4a9-42f8-9778-7df045165e24.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2022-10-13\/-zero-click-spyware-emerges-as-a-menacing-mobile-threat\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Zero-Click\u2019 Spyware Emerges as a Menacing Mobile Threat \u2013 (Bloomberg \u2013 October 13, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">In July 2020, an Azerbaijani journalist\u2019s iPhone silently received a command to open the Apple Music app. Without the journalist\u2019s knowledge or interaction, the app connected to a malicious server and downloaded spyware onto the phone that remained there for 17 months, eavesdropping on phone calls and text messages. The hack was an example of a \u201czero-click\u201d attack\u2014a method of placing spyware on a phone without tricking a user into doing anything, such as clicking on a malicious link sent in an email or text message. It\u2019s a technique that governments have utilized to target their opponents on a greater scale and for a longer duration than previously known, according to recent research from Amnesty International and Citizen Lab. The Azerbaijani journalist\u2014researchers didn\u2019t disclose the identity\u2014was a victim of spyware manufactured by NSO Group, which sells technology to governments and law enforcement agencies. The Israeli company says clients use its software to stop terrorism and curb violent crime. Some governments have misused NSO\u2019s spyware\u2014known as Pegasus\u2014to target critics in more than a dozen countries, rights groups say. NSO has helped governments hack phones with zero-click malware since at least July 2017 and has utilized at least six different zero-click exploits that were used to covertly hack Apple iOS versions 10 through 14, according to the Amnesty and Citizen Lab research, which was presented at the Virus Bulletin conference in Prague on Sept. 28. Flaws were exploited in iMessage, the Apple podcast and music apps, Apple photos and a Wi-Fi calling feature, the researchers found. In November, Apple sued NSO Group, accusing the company of \u201cflagrant violations of US federal and state law.\u201d NSO Group also designed zero-click attacks that could compromise Android phones by exploiting a flaw in WhatsApp that was used to transmit malicious code onto a device. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/1f55c21a-4c06-4011-a5d0-718ccb33dd60.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thescrum.substack.com\/p\/a-cia-theme-park\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cA C.I.A.

The name of \u201cour\u201d enemy has changed over the years, from communism to Islamism, but generally it is any society independent of western power and occupying strategically useful or resource-rich territory, or merely offering an alternative to U.S. domination. Washington\u2019s role in Ukraine is different only in its implications for the rest of us. For the first time since the Reagan years, the U.S. is threatening to take the world to war. With eastern Europe and the Balkans now military outposts of NATO, the last \u201cbuffer state\u201d bordering Russia \u2013 Ukraine \u2013 is being torn apart by fascist forces unleashed by the U.S. and the EU.

The whistleblower told the office of Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, that the Justice Department launched the review of the FBI\u2019s disciplinary database in 2020 following an Associated Press investigation into sexual misconduct allegations involving at least six senior FBI officials. The follow-up review found 665 FBI employees, including 45 senior-level officials, resigned or retired between 2004 and 2020 following a misconduct probe but before a final disciplinary letter could be issued, according to a letter this week from Grassley to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. It was not clear how many of those cases involved sexual misconduct. Grassley\u2019s office, which declined to make the whistleblower or underlying documents available to protect the person\u2019s identify, said that was the kind of information it was still seeking but estimated the number could be in the \u201chundreds.\u201d <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/scheerpost.com\/2022\/10\/09\/chris-hedges-the-puppets-and-the-puppet-masters\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Hedges: The Puppets and the Puppet Masters \u2013 (Scheerpost \u2013 October 9, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">This article provides the text of the speech given by Chris Hedges outside the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. on Saturday October 8 at a rally that called on the U.S. to revoke its extradition request for Julian Assange.

We cannot fight on behalf of Julian unless we are clear about whom we are fighting against. It is far worse than a corrupt judiciary. The global billionaire class, who have orchestrated a social inequality rivaled by pharaonic Egypt, has internally seized all of the levers of power and made us the most spied upon, monitored, watched and photographed population in human history. Julian was long a target, of course, but when WikiLeaks published the documents known as Vault 7, which exposed the hacking tools the CIA uses to monitor our phones, televisions and even cars, he \u2014 and journalism itself \u2014 was condemned to crucifixion. The object is to shut down any investigations into the inner workings of power that might hold the ruling class accountable for its crimes, eradicate public opinion and replace it with the cant [cant: hypocritical and sanctimonious talk, typically of a moral, religious, or political nature] fed to the mob. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/89e7707a-0a68-4699-8fef-f6e417fdb7f6.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/opinion\/2022\/09\/05\/liz-truss-will-make-johnson-seem-a-political-genius-may-a-mistress-of-empathy-cameron-a-beacon-of-sincerity\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Liz Truss Will Make Johnson Seem a Political Genius, May a Mistress of Empathy, Cameron a Beacon of Sincerity \u2013 (Irish Times \u2013 September 5, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"yiv7285812473css-axufdj\" style=\"margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">In a healthy or happy democracy, Truss doesn\u2019t get to be prime minister, even in her own fantasies. She is Theresa May without the seriousness and Boris Johnson without the charisma \u2014 a combination of ingredients scraped by a mad chef from the bottom of a very deep barrel. With her, the Tory Party has chosen, not to wake up to the increasingly grim realities of contemporary Britain, but to double down on the game of \u201clet\u2019s pretend\u201d. You only have to pretend this hard when you\u2019re avoiding something big. What\u2019s being evaded here is decline. In thinking about Britain\u2019s slow decline, the usual point of comparison is with, say, the rise of China. But a much better comparator is much closer to home \u2014 the little country just across the Irish Sea. Ireland, God knows, has very serious problems, most of them rooted in its peculiar combination of hyperdevelopment and underdevelopment. But it\u2019s doing better than Britain is. Twenty five years ago, Ireland was poorer, more corrupt and more in thrall to reactionary nationalism than Britain was. Now, on all three counts, the reality is reversed. The Tories came back into power in 2010. Over the course of this unbroken period of rule, typical household incomes in Britain have risen more slowly than those in only two other western European countries: Greece and Cyprus. And, from our point of view, the remarkable fact is that typical incomes of ordinary people in Ireland are now 6% higher than they are in Britain. <\/p>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/1955eac6-467c-41bd-a8b7-b2ccd4454d33.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/science\/space\/laughing-gas-could-be-a-sign-of-life-on-distant-planets\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Laughing Gas Could Be a Sign of Life on Distant Planets \u2013 (CNET \u2013 October 4, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nA team of astrobiologists has proposed looking for nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas, as a possible indication of life on distant worlds. “There’s been a lot of thought put into oxygen and methane as biosignatures. Fewer researchers have seriously considered nitrous oxide, but we think that may be a mistake,” said astrobiologist Eddie Schwieterman, at University of California, Riverside. Nitrous oxide can be generated by microorganisms on Earth, but it’s not currently very concentrated in our own atmosphere. That suggests it might not be worth looking for on exoplanets. “This conclusion doesn’t account for periods in Earth’s history where ocean conditions would have allowed for much greater biological release of N2O,” Schwieterman said. “Conditions in those periods might mirror where an exoplanet is today.” Schweitermen’s team ran computer models to simulate how living organisms might generate nitrous oxide on other planets and discovered scenarios where the gas could act as a notable biosignature. The point is we would have to look for it. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/mars-microbes-made-themselves-extinct-climate-change\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">First Martian Life Likely Broke the Planet with Climate Change, Made Themselves Extinct \u2013 (Live Science \u2013 October 13, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nAncient microbial life on Mars could have destroyed the planet\u2019s atmosphere through climate change, which ultimately led to its extinction, new research has suggested. The new theory comes from a climate modeling study that simulated hydrogen-consuming, methane-producing microbes living on Mars roughly 3.7 billion years ago. At the time, atmospheric conditions were similar to those that existed on ancient Earth during the same period. But instead of creating an environment that would help them thrive and evolve, as happened on Earth, Martian microbes may have doomed themselves just as they were getting started, according to the study published Oct. 10 in the journal <em>Nature Astronomy<\/em>. The model suggests that the reason life thrived on Earth and was doomed on Mars is because of the gas compositions of the two planets, and their relative distances from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/what-is-the-sun\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\">sun<\/a>.

To protect those most vulnerable to covid-19 during the pandemic, the Cares Act allowed the Justice Department to order the release of people in federal prisons and place them on home confinement. More than 11,000 people were eventually released. Of those, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) reported that only 17 of them committed new crimes. That\u2019s not a typo. Seventeen. That\u2019s a 0.15 percent recidivism rate in a country where it\u2019s normal for 30 to 65% of people coming home from prison to reoffend within three years of release. Of those 17 people, most new offenses were for possessing or selling drugs or other minor offenses. Of the 17 new crimes, only one was violent (an aggravated assault), and none were sex offenses. These 11,000 releases were not random. Many of the people released to home confinement had years or even decades left to serve on their sentences. But they changed in prison and are no longer a danger to others, as the new data confirms. People with serious chronic illnesses or physical disabilities are another group who can be safely released from long sentences. They are not dangerous, but their increased medical needs make them exponentially more expensive to incarcerate. Taxpayers aren\u2019t getting much public safety bang for their buck when we incarcerate bedridden people. It\u2019s time to rethink our incarceration policies for those with a low risk of reoffending. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/c1c5845a-2cc1-4f99-9312-ad9c819c9be2.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/02\/tech\/amazon-product-event\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon Is Always Watching \u2013 (CNN \u2013 October 2, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nAt a recent invite-only press event, Amazon unveiled a long list of product updates ahead of the holiday shopping season that appear designed to further insert its gadgets and services into every corner of our homes with the apparent goal of making everything a little easier. But the event was also another reminder of just how much Amazon\u2019s many products are watching us. Amazon has previously raised eyebrows with blatant examples of surveillance products, including drones and Astro, the dog-like robot that patrols the home. But this year, Amazon\u2019s advancements in everyday tracking were a bit more subtle. The new Halo Rise sleep tracking device, for example, sits on the nightstand and monitors a person\u2019s breathing and micro-movements as they sleep without the need to wear a sleep tracker. The device is said to work even if the person is turned in the other direction, or covered up by pillows and blankets. On the new Echo Show 15 smart display, Amazon\u2019s voice assistant Alexa can now rattle off a morning routine for each person in the home, provide calendar updates and highlight traffic reports for the commute to the office. There\u2019s also an option to ask Alexa to turn off the lights up to 24 hours in the future if they won\u2019t be home. Amazon continues to expand Astro\u2019s features, too. It can now detect the faces of pets in the home and stream footage to owners when they\u2019re out of the house. The robot can also make sure windows and doors are closed and it can perform deeper monitoring when the owner is away as part of a virtual surveillance subscription. Amazon, perhaps more than any of its peers, has created a sprawling suite of products and services that arguably track more of our daily lives in and around our homes. In the months leading up to the product event, Amazon made two big announcements that could expand its reach into our lives even more. Amazon agreed last month to acquire iRobot, the company behind the popular automated Roomba vacuums, some of which create maps of the inside of our homes. It also announced plans to broaden its reach in the health care market by buying One Medical, a membership-based primary care service. In the process, Amazon is possibly testing customers\u2019 comfort levels with how much any single company should know about our lives, and perhaps shifting our tolerance, too. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\" valign=\"top\">\n <table class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" valign=\"top\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/33a86720-2925-4edd-a373-9d326d952424.png\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\" width=\"564\" align=\"middle\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/04\/business\/asia-currency-dollar.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">Businesses Brace for Currency Chaos in Asia, a Region With a History of Crisis \u2013 (New York Times \u2013 October 3, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nThroughout Asia, from the Vietnamese dong to the Philippine peso, currencies are tumbling to record lows, the type of widespread currency weakness not seen since the 1997 financial crisis. That has unnerved businesses and policymakers who recall how a string of Asian currencies folded under the pressure of a strong dollar. To minimize the risk of that kind of calamity, policymakers are scrambling to stabilize their currencies. The State Bank of Vietnam raised interest rates by a full percentage point last month after Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh implored the central bank to act. The dong had fallen for nine straight days to a 29-year low. On the same day, Japan, where the yen has dropped around 25% against the dollar this year, announced it would intervene to strengthen its currency for the first time since 1998. In China, where the renminbi is trading near 14-year lows, the central bank has taken a series of measures to slow the currency\u2019s depreciation, including warning speculators against making bets on it. Heightening the alarm, the dollar \u2014 powered by the most rapid Federal Reserve interest rate increases in decades \u2014 shows no signs of slowing. It is up nearly 20% against a group of major currencies from a year ago. Many Asian central banks that used to keep their exchange rates in line with the greenback now allow them to fluctuate with market forces. While that means more volatile exchange rates, it also relieves some pent-up pressure that can trigger a collapse. And most Asian countries have more foreign currency coming in than going out, allowing them to sock away significant reserves that they can deploy in an emergency to supplement imports or protect their own currency from depreciating. As a result, Asia today is \u201cin much better shape than any other region in the world,\u201d said Sayuri Shira, a professor of economics at Keio University and former member of the Bank of Japan\u2019s policy board. Still, the strong dollar is testing the region\u2019s defenses, forcing central banks to use their war chests to prop up their currencies \u2014 mainly by buying their own currencies and selling dollars. India and Thailand have spent more than 10% of their reserves on interventions this year, spending $75 billion and $27 billion in the foreign exchange markets, according to estimates from Nomura Holdings.

Analysts, tech visionaries and even renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson predicted that space mining was going to be big business. Fast forward to 2022, and humanity has yet to commercially mine even a single asteroid. So what\u2019s taking so long? \u201cIf we had to develop a full-scale asteroid mining vehicle today, we would need a few hundred million dollars to do that using commercial processes. It would be difficult to convince the investment community that that\u2019s the right thing to do,\u201d says Joel Sercel, president and CEO of TransAstra Corporation. This has not dissuaded Sercel from trying to mine the cosmos. TransAstra will initially focus on mining asteroids for water to make rocket propellant, but would like to eventually mine \u201ceverything on the periodic table.\u201d Article also showcases AstroForge, founded in 2022 by a former SpaceX engineer and a former Virgin Galactic engineer. AstroForge plans to mine and refine rare earth metals in space. To keep costs down, AstroForge will attach its refining payload to off-the shelf satellites and launch those satellites on SpaceX rockets.

The first speaker talks about her 3D model of a 12-legged purple spider that lives in the Arctic. There\u2019s no evidence it exists, she admits, but it\u2019s a testable hypothesis, and she argues that a mission should be sent off to search the Arctic for spiders. The second speaker has a model for a flying earthworm, but it flies only in caves. There\u2019s no evidence for that either, but he petitions to search the world\u2019s caves. The third one has a model for octopuses on Mars. It\u2019s testable, he stresses. Kudos to zoologists, I\u2019ve never heard of such a conference. But almost every particle physics conference has sessions just like this, except they do it with more math. It has become common among physicists to invent new particles for which there is no evidence, publish papers about them, write more papers about these particles\u2019 properties, and demand the hypothesis be experimentally tested. Many of these tests have actually been done, and more are being commissioned as we speak. It is wasting time and money. Since the 1980s, physicists have invented an entire particle zoo, whose inhabitants carry names like preons, sfermions, dyons, magnetic monopoles, simps, wimps, wimpzillas, axions, flaxions, erebons, accelerons, cornucopions, giant magnons, maximons, macros, wisps, fips, branons, skyrmions, chameleons, cuscutons, planckons and sterile neutrinos, to mention just a few. We even had a (luckily short-lived) fad of \u201cunparticles\u201d. All experiments looking for those particles have come back empty-handed, in particular those that have looked for particles that make up dark matter, a type of matter that supposedly fills the universe and makes itself noticeable by its gravitational pull. However, we do not know that dark matter is indeed made of particles. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) hasn\u2019t seen any of those particles either, even though, before its launch, many theoretical physicists were confident it would see at least a few. Talk to particle physicists in private, and many of them will admit they do not actually believe those particles exist. They justify their work by claiming that it is good practice, or that every once in a while one of them accidentally comes up with an idea that is useful for something else. But is this a good strategy? \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/media\/2022\/10\/04\/onion-amicus-brief-supreme-court-anthony-novak\/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F381a000%2F633c5e86f3d9003c5806248d%2F5e876a849bbc0f0a2e14608c%2F46%2F72%2F633c5e86f3d9003c5806248d&wp_cu=e9566cddf5919d659b8a87c177b08eff%7CA266C910E7810C4DE0530100007F0657\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Onion<\/em> Files Supreme Court Amicus Brief Defending the Right to Parody \u2013 (Washington Post \u2013 October 3, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\n<em>The Onion<\/em> \u2014 a satirical publication known for poking fun at everything from popular culture to global politics \u2014 is taking a stab at a serious issue. It has filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of an Ohio man who faced criminal charges over a Facebook page parodying his local police department. Anthony Novak, an amateur comic from Parma, a Cleveland suburb, was arrested and briefly jailed after creating a fake social media page in 2016 styled after the Parma Police Department\u2019s Facebook page. His lawyers argue it was an obvious parody, and he was acquitted at trial. Novak subsequently filed a civil suit alleging his constitutional rights were violated, though that was dismissed after a federal appeals court granted the police officers qualified immunity \u2014 a legal doctrine that protects government officials from being sued for allegedly violating civil rights. \u201cThere\u2019s no recognized right to be free from a retaliatory arrest that is supported by probable cause,\u201d the appellate judges ruled. Now, Novak is petitioning the Supreme Court to take up his case. Despite the sarcasm and hyperbole, the legal brief isn\u2019t a joke. The publication\u2019s aim is to get the Supreme Court to scrutinize qualified immunity and free speech rights. (Amicus briefs are documents filed by parties not directly involved in a case to provide the court with additional information.) \u201c<em>The Onion<\/em> cannot stand idly by in the face of a ruling that threatens to disembowel a form of rhetoric that has existed for millennia, that is particularly potent in the realm of political debate, and that, purely incidentally, forms the basis of <em>The Onion\u2019s<\/em> writers\u2019 paychecks,\u201d the brief says. It also highlights what <em>The Onion<\/em> suggests are shortcomings in the legal system when it comes to protecting those who use comedy to question people in positions of authority. \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnImageBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnImageBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" style=\"padding: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" class=\"mcnImageBlockInner\">\n <table align=\"left\" width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"mcnImageContentContainer\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody><tr>\n <td class=\"mcnImageContent\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-right: 9px;padding-left: 9px;padding-top: 0;padding-bottom: 0;text-align: center;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \n \n <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/916d9ff25098a781af857b468\/images\/795386b4-b7b2-4a33-8c48-67b4ccad05b4.png\" width=\"564\" style=\"max-width: 1200px;padding-bottom: 0;display: inline !important;vertical-align: bottom;border: 0;height: auto;outline: none;text-decoration: none;-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;\" class=\"mcnImage\">\n \n \n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n <tbody class=\"mcnTextBlockOuter\">\n <tr>\n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextBlockInner\" style=\"padding-top: 9px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">\n \t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\n <table align=\"left\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"max-width: 100%;min-width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\" width=\"100%\" class=\"mcnTextContentContainer\">\n <tbody><tr>\n \n <td valign=\"top\" class=\"mcnTextContent\" style=\"padding-top: 0;padding-right: 18px;padding-bottom: 9px;padding-left: 18px;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;word-break: break-word;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;\">\n \n <h4 class=\"null\" style=\"display: block;margin: 0;padding: 0;color: #ffffff;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 18px;font-style: normal;font-weight: bold;line-height: 125%;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/10\/07\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-climb-mount-everest-and-the-seven-summits.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #ffffff;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;\" rel=\"noopener\">He Paid Over $170,000 to Climb the Seven Summits \u2014 Despite Being \u2018Terrified of Heights\u2019 \u2013 (CNBC \u2013 October 6, 2022) <\/a><\/h4>\nVivian James Rigney is an executive coach and speaker who has visited more than 80 countries and lived on three continents. He\u2019s also climbed the highest mountains on all seven continents, the so-called Seven Summits. It\u2019s a feat that took him 14 years \u2014 one, he estimates, that fewer than 1,000 people have completed. And he did it despite being \u201cterrified of heights,\u201d he said. In this interview, Rigney talked about what he learned \u2014 and how much it cost him \u2014 to reach some of the highest points on earth. Strictly in terms of money, Rigney estimates he\u2019s paid between $170,000 and $180,000 to climb the Seven Summits.
